"Read the reviews on here and I must say I was dreadfully worried, however I used the 1 day Maximum strength and I did NOT experience burning, itching or irritation. I guess every one is different. I feel soooo much better highly recommend!"


"Already posted about my side effects from the pill but that was before I got my period so I wanted to share the rest of my experience. Did not get my period until exactly 1 month after taking plan b. Had a terrible headache and nausea all day, which isn't a common PMS thing for me. It was 2 weeks late! I know it's hard but don't stress, it will do weird things to your body. Good luck!!"


"I take 15 mg three times a day along with Ritalin 20 mg three times a day and I am so glad my Doc found this combo!!!! I'm 36 and extremely overweight and I got the got up and go that I never had and the help to keep my mind on very important things and people in my life, like my kids!!"


"Other than random bouts of high blood pressure, I was a very healthy normal relatively active person. This medicine lowered my bp the first few days, felt relaxed and sleepy. I felt more thirsty, increased urination, burning urination for a few days. Then I noticed constipation and my bp spiking back up. Ringing in my ears. Week 3- depression and irrational emotions. I was not myself at all.  I had a total body ache, fever of 100.8 which sent me home from work. When I went to an urgent care center the on the 2nd day of fever, sweating and chills and painful lymph nodes, my bp was just as high as the day I started the drug. My exam found nothing except blood in my urine. zero infections. I felt absolutely horrible. I quit the drug."


"My doctor gave me this because I had bacterial vaginosis. Not even 12 hours in to my first dose, I got the metallic taste in my mouth, then severe stomach cramps and nausea. I'm on day 5 and have had bouts of nausea throughout the course of my medication. My appetite has gone way, way down and I'm SO tired! I literally will sleep 12 hours and then get up for 2 then go back to bed for another 4! Having trouble staying awake at work, but it is doing its job! "


"I've been taking antidepressants since 1999. I've taken most every SSRI plus many others that never worked long. I have MDD & GAD. I've never taken any med that actually worked. Celexa lasted a/b 2 yrs. then stopped. I needed help earlier this year, admitted myself. My Dr played with my med regimen for a bit but there's always trial & error w/ these meds. He kept asking me a/b all these different meds to see if I tried before. I had. He finally told me a/b Nefazodone & gave me it's full hx. I got that weed "high" for a few days (inc. fatigue nausea blurred vision). Ithe went away after a week or 2 but I also explained to Dr the only word I could use for it was ecstasy. It made me feel so much better. No more side effects either!"


"This birth control is only good for one thing, and that's keeping me from bearing a child. I've gained 40 lbs, and my skin was perfectly clear until the 6 months of constant spotting were over. This birth control had more cons than pros and I'm over it. I'm getting it removed next month, have the appt and everything. Oral contraceptives have never done me wrong, so I'm going back to those. Do not get this implant."


"I'm surprised by the majority of people's reactions to Nuvigil (though, it's the only medication I've tried so far). Before starting up with the medication I was exhausted to the point of feeling sick most of the time. After starting the medication it's like night and day, I typically feel great. Some days are better than others, and I never feel 100%, but it's the best I've felt in years and it hasn't fluctuated in two months I've been taking it."


"Protopic does the job. My intermittent atopic dermatitis affects small areas of my face along the nose, eyebrows, some hairline at eyebrow level, forehead, and patches on both sides of the chin. When redness shows up, light application of Protopic clears affected areas within 2 to 3 days without fail."


"Had bad stomach aches after taking the medication. Also dizziness and nausea. After a while the side effects lessened."


"I had the Mirena inserted about 3 years ago, the doctor inserted under anethesia thus I had no pain. The first week I had alot of cramps with a little bit of bleeding. After the second week the cramps was gone and in the three years I had the Mirena I had no bleeding during my cycle. I will be removing it end of this year, as we will be trying for a baby. I will definitely be getting a second one again. Best thing ever!!"


"I like Implanon because it only made me spot a couple of times and now my period hasn't come again and I've had it in since the beginning of August 2011. The one thing I do hate is the fact that I have never had acne in my life until now. I keep getting random little pimples all over my face. They come in bunches all over my face. It's really depressing."


"I have been on Bydureon since Jan 2013.  I have been able to stop taking all of my other oral medicines.  My blood sugar is great.  My doc told me to take the medicine out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before mixing. Has helped with the bumps. Once per week is GREAT."


"Awesome pain relief."


"I am finishing my second month of Loestrin and like it overall.  I was on Lo Loestrin for 2 months and it was not working out (breakthrough bleeding, cramping, bloating), so my doctor switched me to this pill.  I still have had breakthrough bleeding (more like just spotting) for the last two weeks of every month, but the "period" at the end is practically nonexistent with no cramps, which is great.  I have noticed a bit of water retention, but nothing green tea and extra water can't solve. I've also had some occasional nausea, but nothing too bad, and it passes quickly.  And I've gained 1/2 a cup size.  Overall I'll stick with this pill and hope the spotting goes away in the next few months because that's my only real complaint. "


"Tums worked great for me. When I take it I immediately feel better. It lasts for a long time too."

"It's well worth it to ask your doctor to prescribe 1gm daily Valtrex for recurring cold sores.  You can easily take from your daily prescribed to help immediately when you notice a cold sore start by then taking 1gm 3 times in 24 hours.  The prescription for 3 pills costs the same as 30 days so I recommend to talk to your doctor."

"I've only had the mirena for 2 weeks but so far the only side effects I've notices are increased sex drive, increased energy (which were both low before) and DEcreased appetite. Wow... wasnt expecting those but I'm extremely pleased and crossing my fingers it will stay this way. I've had some minor cramping and spotting every couple of days but no big deal. I will say that the insertion was incredibly painful for me. I felt like I was about to faint it was so bad, but the doctor said it was because I my cervix has never been dilated before (no kids). I would advise anyone like me to not plan any other activities the for the day of, just in case. But overall I am super happy with this thing."


"This medication is really good. It lowers my blood pressure and prevents fluid retention. It has helped tremendously with those two areas.

"


"I am on my 3rd Mirena (replaced every 5 years). Every insertion has been excruciatingly painful; this last time, dare I say was WORSE! I was teary-eyed, breathing through it while also screaming intermittently as my dr inched it into place; and for whatever reason, I felt the pain on my right side. I fully expected spotting & cramps for a few days after. Here I am now, just under 4-weeks later, with cramping and spotting almost daily. The cramps are on my right side, which is where the pain was during insertion. I have never had a problem before now. I've used Mirena for over 10 years & have always loved it. I just turned 40, so I'm wondering if my body is responding differently due to hormonal fluctuations that come with age."


"Horrible!l! I'm 36 and have NEVER been like this. I stared at a razor blade for 10-15 minutes before I realized what was going on. I called my doc as soon as they were open. I was a zombie. I was crying for zero reason, this drug did the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do."


"I started Lo-Loestrin Fe two months ago and am having the worst acne breakouts I have ever had! I am waiting to finish up my third pack and then going to try and switch. I am getting married in three weeks and nothing will work to clear up the acne."


"Me and my father are both sick and have been both taking Mucinex. It works well but we both have been experiencing very vivid and some what disturbing dreams."


"I have been on Diehtylpropion for exactly one month now.  When I was originally prescribed Diethylpropion I was a little disappointed because I have heard such great things about Phentermine. The doctor explained why Diehtylpropion was more suited for me because of my anxiety issues.  The first few days of taking it I did have elevated anxiety, but that ceased after about day 3.  My starting weight was 230lbs, 5'7" and exactly one month later I am at 214. I keep my calorie content under 900 and lift a half hour of weights every other day and use the eliptical every once in a while.  I have a desk job so I do not get any exercise at work.

My goal weight is 170lbs by May so I'm 1/4 of the way there!"


"Alcohol withdrawal can COST YOUR LIFE!!!!! I have been in 4 detoxes in 8 months. I drink a gallon of sometimes more of vodka a day. One detox was in January for 7 days, one at the end of April for 3 days, one in June for 5 days and one in July for 5 days. Librium works wonders. The reason the days spent in detox depend on the AMA policy. DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. I have had seizures, convulsions, hallucinations, dt's its no joke Go to your doctor, tell her/ him what's going on. I drank EXTREMELY heavy and I was prescribed 75 MG every four hours day 1, then 50MG every 4 hours day 2, then 25 MG every 4 hours day 3, then 25 MG every 8 hours day 4, then 25 MG before bed day 5. The only way to tackle alcohol withdrawal is with librium"


"For anyone taking this medication, do not take it with any kind of antidepressants or mood medication like Celexa, zoloft, tegretol, Xanax, or abilify. Definitely do not take it with ambien. It works wonders by itself, I've been on it since 2005 it helps with the anxiety symptoms I get from my PTSD. Anytime I feel disoriented or way to anxious where I'm throwing up, it usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes to work. But it's better than the feeling of thinking that you are having a heart attack, because it's just panic. Panic attacks can be managed many ways I use breathing techniques, (child breathing will not work lol) meditation, and medication. This is how I deal with that small aspect of my PTSD psychosis."


"I take this medication at 120mg for heart tachycardia. I went into ER with 165bpms 3 years ago and honestly I thought I was going to die. Uncontrolled blood pressure and anxiety and abuse of energy drinks. Please don't be a victim of energy drinks like me. Well Doctor put me on this for the past 4 years and my palpitations have gone from every week to every 6 months excellent medication and also makes you relax."


"I wish I could rate it -100. I have always had anxiety and depression, and it's worsened everything . Plus, it's made me break out more and has made my periods spotty rather than regular. I know everyone's body handles things differently, but if you have existing mental health conditions I would especially suggest staying away from this medicine."


"I have taken this pill for 8 years. I am 23, 5'1 110lbs. Have never experienced weight gain, and never had a pregnancy scare. I have always had clear skin and it stayed that way throughout the pill. I missed a couple pills last month and had spotting for a couple weeks. But I swear by this pill! Although, once in a while it did cause slight nausea and usually always low sex drive, as most others have agreed. Other than that I think it's a great form of medication."


"I'm a runner, and I started taking electrolyte replacement tabs last month. They've made a big difference in my life because I run a lot and now I cramp less and feel better while training. "


"I am on a medicine the main side affect is constipation. So I take a stool softener daily. Last week I didn't have any. So I tried to increase fiber but it didn't work... I ended up going 10 days with out any type of bowel movement or even gas to speak of..  I got a bottle of cherry magnesium citrate drank the whole body fallowed by 12 Oz of water. And within 3 hours I finally got results. I had a small amount of stomach pain and I continued to go to the bathroom for the next 5 hours after I went the first time. I felt lighter and empty I recomend this it works. I will say I got the cherry it tasted like a cherry sweet tart.The taste kind of lingers but it was not to bad.."


"I will add it to the list of items called  things I'm allergic to. My wife had to stop the car for me to throw up beside the road. "


"Smoked for 40 years. Thanks Chantix I have stopped."


"I used several medications before my cardiologist prescribed Diovan.

I have had wonderful results, no side effects of any type and would suggest

Diovan to anyone needing their blood pressure controlled. I consider this

medication a miracle! It has been for me! I m 66 years old and have used it for

7 years."


"Forced onto this medication via a CTO. Delusions are still strong and troublesome. Doctors have no idea how to treat this condition. Side effects include insomnia, anxiety, constantly feeling sick and have therefore lost weight. This medication is completely ineffective and it is easier to live with the delusions without the negative side effects."


"Stopped getting periods at age 45. Horrible hot flashes all day long, night sweats, dry skin, moodiness/depression/anxiety, painful intercourse, low libido. I was already using Prometrium, but it had stopped helping.Went to doctor to ask for estrogen. She Rxed compounded bioidentical estradiol and testosterone cream. The testosterone was to help offset the SHBG effects of estrogen to boost my low libido. I have used BHRT for almost a year now and it completely eliminated every symptom!! I will likely remain on it forever."


"I was just diagnosed with PCOS. Well I asked the doctor what I could do to stop the bleeding. She put me on this. I just started my second month.  I've been bleeding for about 1.5-2 weeks. Its heavier than its even been. I'm going through ultra tampons every 3 hours."


"Was prescribed econozale nitrate cream for suspected skin fungus. Used once and it gave me hives. Boo! I've never had hives and I'm 45. Seems like a good cream, just not for me."


"I have been on Topamax for about 6 months for Migraines.  I take 50mg per day.  I am written to take 25mg morning and night but I take it all at night, which works better for me.  I have not had a single migraine since starting Topamax therapy and  I find it helps to stabilize my mood in conjunction with Effexor XR.  I also have cyclothemia.  I have also lost 45 pounds with this medication.  I have not noticed horrible side effects with exception of some tingling in my lower extremities, but it is not that bad and far less worse than the migraines I once suffered on a weekly basis.  I am very pleased with Topamax.  I refused to take Depakote because of weight gain and its effect on the liver."


"After abusing opiates/heroin for 8yrs I got on Suboxone. Since April of 2013 I've tapered from 16mg/day to 1mg a day. I've not relapsed. I've gotten my kids back from state custody. I've gotten a promotion at my job. Mostly, I've got my life back."


"DO NOT USE!!!!!!!!GYN does not believe in prescribing Diflucan so he said try Monistat 3 day I said I rather take my 1 pill but he said try that 1st I went to the store embarrassingly grabbed the cream got ready for bed inserted the cream literally 2 minutes later I looked around like WTF it itched and burned down there I cried my husband did not know what to do I came to this forum looking for solutions I kept seeing all you can do is scratch and cry so I seen one post where she said she took a bath and I soaked in the tub it took away the burning a little but the itch was still there I rather not even had taken it if it was going To feel like that I took a sleeping pill so I wouldn't cry all night told my doctor he called in my Diflucan"


"Works great."


"Wellbutrin is probably the best antidepressant on the US market. It's best to start at > 75 MG a day to make sure you can tolerate it; there are many who this medicine does nothing for or causes anxiety or other health problems. Regardless of what they say; do check your liver and kidneys; it is more non-toxic than a lot of drugs but it does take a toll on your body over time. For me, nothing as of yet."


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar II (with very few manifestations of depression) so mostly problems with mania. I started on 5mg at night for a week then went up to morning and night doses of 5mg. I did that for 2 days as the day time doses made me feel restless, uncomfortable, edgy, weird and sedated. I couldn't stand it and would count down the time before it would wear off. Then I tried taking 10mg at night but then I couldn't sleep. I would wake up exhausted for the 4th time in a night. Went back to just 5mg at night and this had little to no effect. I worried about weight gain but I lost weight- helped that I was extra cautious about what I ate. If 'increased appetite' is listed I take extra measures with exercise and diet to stay healthy."


"After not having a BM in a week due to opiates, I decided to take some Dulcolax to help out. Ive taken it twice before once was awful and once was pretty okay. Currently sitting on the toilet dying a slow Dulcolax death. Decided to look it up and stumbled across your guys' experiences and it makes me feel better that it's not just me lol. So, thank you guys. Sure as hell is effective but prepare yourself for one hell of a journey."


"I took Ambien and it didn't do anything at all."


"Awful. Sent me high as a kite, chaotic, impulsive & suicidal. It was being administered without mood stabilisers though and at a high dose."


"I have been taking 5mcg of Byetta for a month now. I have lost 19 pounds. I take it about 10 minutes before my meal in the noon and also in the evening. I feel great!!! I have begin to feel like Im not loosing as much, so I am going to ask my MD next week if she will raise me to 10mcg.....This has been a miracal drug to me!!! I also only eat low carbs, and dring water or diet drinks....Thanks Byetta!!!"


"Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I have had the implant for 4 months now. I have my period every month right on time but it is much lighter and there is no cramping. My doctor let me know that the implant is even safer then getting your tubes and you should not gain any weight from using this birth control. She told me the only thing people complain about is your period because it can come whenever or not at all. I haven't experienced any weight gain or mood swings like I did on the pill. My sex drive is healthy as well. I recommend this birth control !"


"Doxycycline made me extrememely ill with constant head pains. I was not able to sleep because of the inability to lay my head down."

"I tried this for my RSD/CRPS and it helped lower my baseline pain from a 7 to a 4 within 48 hours. I stopped taking it after 2 months to test it and the pain increased again within 3 days. It worked great for me, but no two RSD cases are alike. Good luck all in finding relief sooner rather than later."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I'm currently doing the suprep for colonoscopy tomorrow.   First dose at 3pm was easy.   For some strange reason you do get cold, which is weird for me because I'm NEVER cold.  I started the expelling of the bowel about 45 minutes after drinking the suprep.  Do have some belching, it's not bothersome.

As others have said, if the taste bothers you, drink some of the suprep and have Something handy to immediately take the taste away.  I had a lime Popsicle ready to go so I would suck on that between gulps.  No problem."


"I have always tended to dwell on things and make things more than they are for as long as I can remember. I am a 28 years old, young-professional who was laid off 4 months ago. Despite not being too distraught about being laid-off "I thought", I began having panic episodes about 3-4 month where symptoms resembled a heart attack. After an ER and 2 Doctors visits, I was prescribed Lexapro. I started the treatment Monday night, and no lie was "on cloud 9" Tuesday morning all day and into Wednesday (today). I take 10mg once every other day! I have just taken my second dose and I am so much more at ease and this medicine is great for those with depressive and anxiety symptoms. Definite improvement in quality of life."


"I used Ketoconazole over the counter strength.  The irritation subsided after a few applications and after a few months, my dandruff was gone."


"I was given Tamiflu on Sunday February 14th my fever broke that evening and the aches went away but Tuesday morning I was so nauseous and had bad stomach cramps and diarrhea I couldn't function. Missed another day of work . Not sure side effects are worth it. Prescription was expensive and all I can say is my fever is gone.  Not sure if it was the meds or just the flu running its course. Recommend not taking it. Sometimes the cure is worse than the ailment."


"I used suprep prior to colonoscopy on 2/23/16. The taste was allright, but for the next 12 hours

the cramping was unbearable.Unable to sleep, wanted to die. Talk to your Dr. about this. For

me, this prep was enough to make up my mind to never have another colonoscopy."


"Started having bad headaches for 2 weeks and realized blood pressure was high. I started taking Bystolic and headaches went away and I have no side effects. My BP is the best it's ever been. I take 5mg daily and have been taking for 4 months"


"I have been using the Nuva-ring for about 5 years. I used the Nuva-Ring because I would forget to take the pill. At first things were awesome because I would insert it in and leave it in for 3 weeks. Well over time my moods got weirder and weirder. I'm starting new birth control next month. I'm tired of having bad moods and being sick all the time. I'm not saying I don't recommend it but I know it's not for me anymore."


"Can't live without it! I have at least one migraine a month and this medication is always successful in bringing me relief. The side effect I experience is grogginess while it is taking effect, but once the medicine wears off, the fatigue is gone along with my migraine."


"really isnt very affective on my shoulder pain"


"Just started on Victoza a couple of days ago. So far so good with my numbers. I really wanted to comment on the nausea and loss of appetite which pretty much happens within a day of taking the injection. I am on 1.2 for now. It isn't unbearable just odd feeling. "


"Awful. Wore the patch for less than 24 hrsafter general anesthesia. I woke up in the middle of the night with my neck and the left side of my face swollen. When I pulled the patch off I started throwing up. I now get motion sickness in the car.   It's a week later and my neck is still swollen and I still have motion sickness ( which  I never had before). Its very painful. I should have taken the patch off sooner. I am 5-2" and 130lbs. It might have been too strong."


"I used this for years and it helped with anxiety, sleep, depression. It caused initial weight gain but was worth it for relief. I stopped it on my own (not smart) because it made me sleep and I had to stay awake for care of my Dad. Now I wish I was back on it. I have been on tons of medicines to try to get stabilized again. Will be asking a doctor about it. It also helped with irritable bowel syndrome."


"I think this drug is great. It makes me a little sleepy, but it works wonders for me."


"Ok for sleep, not super deep.  Experienced repeated moderate depression afternoon following day several times.  Bad enough that I stopped.  Also next day drowsiness at times."


"2/21/17   I started 2/14/17  and I have experienced headaches, nausea  nothing that I can't  handle. My weight  is effecting  my health where as I have terrible  back pains and asthma  so the side  effects don't worry me. I have lost 6lbs taken these pills and card diet.  I am very pleased with results . My cravings  are controlled   and I am not at full dose yet, just taken 1 in morning & I can not wait to see more results  for yall that left your reviews , were is the info on your weight  loss ?"


"I'm not one to turn to medication for help, but when I got to the point where anxiety was eating me from the inside out I knew I could use help. I am taking Vyvanse 20 for my A.D.D and was prescribed 5mg of Buspar twice a day. I'm very sensitive to medication so I wanted to start off low and I've read many people feel like it's a sugar pill because they feel nothing. I can tell you that this is not like Xanax. Usually around 6pm I start feeling anxious on everything that is to come. Cooking, college homework, my children, appointments and even taking showers gave me anxiety because I knew it needed to be done and I felt I didn't have enough time. It's an awful nauseating feeling for those of you who suffer from it. I felt 100% better..."


"I've been on Latuda going on two months now and it's just not working. I'm still depressed crying all the time, and have even been violent towards my boyfriend. Also very angry. The side effects are very bad for me since I don't have an appetite. But I was dealing with it. I tried and nothing. Desperately have to try something else."


"I took lithium for bipolar for years. Lithium took the highs & lows out leaving me with no personality at all. My Doctor changed my medicine to Lamictal & I feel I'm back to whatever normal is."


"I switched to Beyaz about 4 years ago, after being on OrthoNovum. The first 3 months was tough. I recall having irritability, fatigue, discolored complexion, breakthrough bleeding during sex, etc. After that transition I felt fine. About 2 years ago my period began being lighter and lighter and evenutally went away. I asked my GYN if it was ok and she assured me that Beyaz may eliminate my period. At first I was displeased because I wanted a period to prove that I wasn't pregnant each month. But when my gyno told me she can put me on something else to force a period, I told her no!

Now with the new year, I discovered that my new RX plan doesnt cover ANY of the BEYAZ/RAJANI/SAFYRAL contraceptives. I'm DOOMED!! :-("


"This is my second day on the cream. Last night was the first time I inserted it, and it did itch a whole lot more than before. It made me cry! However, throughout today it didn't itch once like it did yesterday. I just put the second tube in and it only made it itch a little. So, I figured it's killing the infection.  I do recommend going to the doctor and getting the pill and cream they prescribe you, it's  a lot better than going good through all this itching. My doctor told me to get Monistat this time. If it doesn't work I will be at the doctor for that pill!!!"


"I get a gout attack about twice a year.  Nalfon helps me to get through it without interrupting work."


"I'm 20 and haven't truly felt happy since I was around 13 years old. Over the last year at work, I noticed that I had begun to have more regular emotional meltdowns and panic attacks. It was at that point that I decided I had to find a solution. I had already gone through counselling with various people and decided to try medication. Started at a low dose of 50mg per day. At the very beginning it made me a bit tired and nauseous, but it's been a while and I'm at 100mg. I think the 50 was pretty good, but at 100 I feel like I'm living on autopilot and am emotionless toward many things. I'm going back to 50mg and think I'll only go up to 100mg when I really need it. TBH though, I would rather be numb than go through the depression from before."


"I have had insomnia my entire life beginning at age 12. I was prescribed Trazodone four years ago when Ambien no longer worked for me. I sleep like a baby. I fall asleep within 10-15 minutes and sleep through the night. I have not experienced any side effects."


"I had a shot after several days of a UTI. It cleared the UTI quickly (in addition to oral antibiotics) but the lump at the shot site is still there! It's been over a month and I can still feel the lump under my skin. Slightly painful to the touch."


"Started on Crestor 5 mg a year and a half ago. It immediately lowered my Cholesterol by 60 points. No problems until 4 months ago. Started having heart palpitations, mainly at night which is when I took the Crestor. They got so severe, I would be up all night. After doing a lot of researching on the internet, I found that other people had experienced this too, so I stopped the medicine and haven't had any palpitations since. My doc seems reluctant to believe this was the cause."


"I have been taking Paxil for 5 months. My anxiety had gotten so bad that my wife took me to the ER at 3AM thinking I was having heart issues. I visited my doctor shortly after that and he prescribed Paxil. After a few days of taking it, I felt so much better - finally, relief! I didn't even realize I had so many symptoms of anxiety until I was on Paxil. I feel better than I have in two years. HOWEVER, there are sexual side effects (decreased sex drive and difficulty achieving erection and ejaculation). Since I'm a newly married man in my mid-twenties, these side effects are very frustrating. Other than that, this drug has been very effective in treating my anxiety."


"I have been on the Depo shot for roughly 3 1/2 years, until recently, I've had NO problems. The only tough part would be the week before the next shot, and the shot itself. Usually, about 1 week before my next shot, I would spot, nothing to messy or horrible, just very inconvenient for me. But ever since I missed my shot when I went to Sweden, shit has gotten real bad! Not only do I bleed 2-3 weeks prior my shot, but the flow can range from light to extreme heavy!!! This flow does not stop, no, not until 2 weeks AFTER the shot, does the faucet completely turn off. My recommendation, if it's working for you, do NOT miss your Depo shot appointment!!! I believe that's where everything went wrong!!"


"Me and my girl friend had a three some with some random chick. (Not advisable) was pretty inebriated so guessing we somehow contracted it even with the failed attempt at using condoms. Anyway we test positive for clap and I get two pills of azithromycin. I took the tablet about thirty min later then I start feeling really ill. Light headache, cramps. I go home lay down then I'm running to the toilet with diahrrea. Hopefully this means it's working lol. Gf had similar symptoms."


"I was on Celebrex for over two years as treatment for pain following a severe back injury. I am over 50 years old and Celebrex was very effective. I was referred to another doctor who replaced Celebrex with Tridural. Celebrex is my choice but I have to follow my doctor's instructions."


"Just started my 6th pack and honestly I wish I didn't.

On my 5th pack I started to experience break through bleeding, brown discharge, for about 5 days. It would then clear up I would be good to go for another week, and then again brown discharge. It happened 4 times on my last pack.

So, I'm on my 6th pack now. The discharge cleared up last Tuesday, it's now Monday and it's happening again. SO UNHAPPY WITH THIS. I have went through a 50 pack of tampons in 1 month.. NOT IMPRESSED.

I'm also experiencing mood swings as well. One week I'm good to go happy as can be, next week I'm angry and sad.

So, I'm going to my doctors tomorrow to try something else. This break through bleeding is really starting to suck, not only for me but my bf too"


"I've been taking Trintellix (that's what it's called in Canada) for 3 weeks and I can honestly say I am loving life again.  I'm on 10 mg and I've had slight nausea but if I took it with something to eat I was fine.  I was on Effexor for years and it suddenly stopped working.  I had to wean myself off of that to start Trintellix and I was at a really low point for a while but stick with this because you'll start to feel the effects by 2 weeks.  My only concern is I can't sleep so I take Imovane for that."


"I'm 33 years old with bad forehead acne that started in my early/mid 20s. I've been to dermatologists for years and everything I try eventually fails and seems to actually get worse in the long run. Aczone has been awesome for me. It took about 3 weeks before it started working, but no side effects whatsoever. I'm at about 2.5 months now and my skin hasn't been this good for many years. I love it. My skin isn't 100% perfect, but this is definitely the best thing I've tried, and I've tried a lot. Right now, this is all I'm using."


"I take 1mg/daily. So far it is very effective, I tend to be able to be more relaxed and can sleep with clear and peaceful thoughts where I used to be laying in bed 20 minutes thinking too much.  But seems not to do much for my social anxiety. Overall, pretty effective."


"My periods have been getting very heavy as I've been getting older (just turned 40). I was told to start the pack on The Sunday I started my period, so was on my 3rd day. Every day since then I've been bleeding various amounts, and some days have had mild cramps. Hoping by the second trial pack this stops. 1 week of heavy period is better than everyday of the month bleeding. My libido is lower, but not sure if that's the medicine or the fact I'm bleeding daily :("


"I had the implant put in August of 2015. Other than a few emotional moments and some numbness in my fingers I haven't had any problems. I did get a period in December of 2015 for the first time since getting the implant. It hasn't been a heavy period and blood is dark or brown in color with some small clotting. As long as the periods stop I think this implant is effective"


"This pill is terrible. I started taking it because the pharmacy ran out of my normal pill which was Microgestin (which I LOVED). I have never had a problem with acne and I woke up yesterday with 3 pimples on my chin and some on my back. I also have terrible back pain. So bad to where I can not stand or walk and it even hurts when I lay down or sit. Do not take this pill."


"I have been taking Femara for almost two years now after my second surgery for estrogen receptive positive breast cancer with no lymph nodes involved. Sure there are multiple side effects, some pretty tough to deal with sometimes but I am 66 years young and I love living. Give it a GO and keep on living."


"I have been prescribed this medication since 5/12/15. I weighed in at 204 lbs & am expecting to weigh in at less than 150 lbs 11/23/15.
I also take 1/2 a water pill first thing each morning, Bentyl every night & B vitamin every other night. All prescribed by the doctor, dispensed at 28 days. In addition to this, I follow a 1000 calorie eating plan, & do my best to move fast for 30 min each day.
Self discipline is not easy, but paying for it holds me accountable. I have fibromyalgia, pancreatitis & a vomiting condition that started when I was 9 yo. I also have had several times throughout this last 6 mo when my back was out & I could hardly walk.
I am thrilled with results & only had dry mouth as side effect. Now to build muscle!!"


"I just started taking Effexor last week for depression, anxiety and racing thoughts. Seems to be working, but I noticed some side effects, like dry mouth and nervousness, but not a big issue. It works much better than Zoloft, Celexa and Serzone, which I've taken in the past. So far, so good."


"I have many friends with fabulous Mirena experiences however mine has not been 1 of them. This is my second attempt of a Mirena. The first time I had 1 inserted was after my 3rd child. Yes, insertion is quite painful, nothing compared to childbirth though. After riding out 4 months of spotting, my periods completely ceased and I was so happy. After a year however, I started feeling completely nauseous and had pain every time I had sex, so had it removed. Now 5 years and 2 kids later, I decided to give it another go. I have had this Mirena in for around 8 weeks and have gained 3 kilos (my weight is usually very stable). I have constant mood swings and fear I am struggling to be a nice mum to my kids. I am awful to my husband. It has to go."


"Awful, to say the least. Don't even consider this if you have anything more than a headache, and even that won't be tolerable after taking a few of these."


"I've been on this nightly for about 4 years now because of back pain I don't sleep well.  It does a good job of helping me sleep but now it is causing my eyes to become very dry so I will look for an alternative."


"I have been taking narcotics for chronic pain for about 25 years now.  I started with Tylenol with codeine and have progressed through just about everything (morphine, oxycodone, Dilaudid, Oxycontin, Fentanyl patches, etc.).  My pain management doctor had me on 60 mg of Oxycontin 3 X daily and it worked (somewhat) for a while until I developed a tolerance and it too became ineffective.  So the doctor switched me to 16 mg. Exalgo 2 X daily.  I was resistant at first, mainly because of reducing the number of doses per day but after I took it for a few days I was amazed. I don't wake up in excruciating pain anymore and, even though the effects are subtle and come on slowly, it works better in controlling my pain than anything else I've used."


"Made me vomit up to three times a day on random days .. Up to the third month. Gave me horrible nightmares every night not one missed starting last month. Love working out don't have energy to do it anymore. Sleep way too much 13 hours or more a day with naps. Depression before I went to sleep sometime I would cry my eyeballs out. Did not gain weight on it and I have the most amazing skin you can think of  and period for only two days. Let's weight this out here, NO Can't do it. Switching to mini pills!"


"I have used it since 1998. It is the only product that works for me ....now they discontinued the product and use respirmat. The drug does not work for me at all. I sure wish combivent was back."


"I was diagnosed with cluster headaches 5 years ago,
I have them everyday, I take 480mg of verapamil daily, oxygen, Maxalt wafer, Aspalgen, oxygen, morphine injections.  Nothing is helping me so far, my dr is now trialling me on Topamax. I hope this works. My heart goes out to us all that live with this condition. You are not alone."


"The good thing is my cholesterol is under control after three months. The bad thing is my right fore arm hurts when I pick up anything. I also have a rash on my upper lip but not sure it has anything to do with the pravastatin. I am taking one thing away at a time to figure it out."


"Horrifying. The onset for Relief is 2 to 3 hours. Then it runs out of pain relief within 5 to 6 hours! If they are trying to hit the abusers make drug and alcohol treatment accessible!!! And the cost is  3 X's More than oxycontin...?!?!? Go figure...."


"I have been taking 3000 MG, 1500 twice a day, of non time released niacin for 8 years and have maintained my cholesterol levels at around 125-130 for that time. This is a drop of about 30 points for me. It was recommended by my doctor. He also gave me instructions on how to work up this dosing level over a 6 week period. I only have occasional flushing issues usually after missing a dose these are usually mild and last less than 5 mins."


"Hiya, I've been taking orlistat 120mg for 11 days. I've lost 1st and 4lbs so far! I am off the scale obese so I needed to loose a chunk of weight in order for me to have the willpower to carry on. I have no more than 3g of fat in each meal, I take a multivitamin at night as directed. I feel great on it....just hope I manage to continue. I have had no major issues, no oily stools. Eating lots of fruit and veg and drinking loads of water. I still have my no Sugar fizzy pop and my cups of tea and coffee."


"The active ingredient is slightly soluble in cold water. Rinse the areas you applied the cream with cold water and a non anti-bacterial soap. This was the only thing along with taking pain medicine and an ice pack that helped. See more about the main active ingredient below:
MSDS for Miconazole nitrate - ScienceLab"


"I started taking Orsythia about four months ago. This was my first experience on birth control, so I was incredibly apprehensive about the side-effect, namely: migraines, birth control, and  mood swings. The first two months, everything went so smooth.  These last two months I have been shocked with the adverse effects I've experienced. I have had issues with water-weight gain, which fluctuates between 3 and 5 pounds, and nausea. But, the biggest issue I have found with this medication would be the anxiety and depression. At first, I chalked it up to stress. However, people around me noticed that I have not been myself. I've felt edgy, irritable, overwhelmed, confused, and sensitive. I'm finishing this month, then switching to a new pill."


"Been on phentermine 37.5mg for 2 weeks and I'm down 16lbs. My fast food cravings are nonexistent, I almost have to remind myself to eat every day, I have the energy that I didn't have to keep up with my 2yr old daughter. I've tried any OTC supplements you can think of and had no luck. I go to the gym for an hour, 4-5 days a week and didn't seem to get the extra weight off. This pill with a regiment of B12 and lipotropic injections gets the job done. As for negative effects... Only complaint is the cotton mouth. Other then that there is nothing bad to say. The energy high is amazing. Of course the B12 helps as well."


"Pamine has been a God send for me. I changed gastroenterologists because for 5 1/2 years I suffered with not being able to eat a regular meal without problems.  I was thrown into "dumping syndrome" after I had my gallbladder taken out.  Avoiding liquids during a meal helped, but not much. With Pamine I can eat regular meals again and enjoy life again. I was borderline fecal incontinent, and stayed home much of the time.  This medicine combined with cholestyramine, has given me back my life...literally. The only drawback is some constipation, and then my new Dr. has told me to cut back the Pamine to 1 daily.  Thank goodness I changed Dr's."


"I took this medicine for two days then got this massive headache or migraine. My shoulders and neck hurt and my temples hurt to even touch them. My eyes hurt to move them and I had vomiting with it. I stopped taking it & went on something else."


"I used to wear a sweater every day over my shirts and the sweat stains would still show through.  4 years later I finally went to my doctor and was told to try drysol.  I used it a couple of times a week and saw immediate improvement.  After finishing one bottle of it, I never had to buy it again because it had completely solved my problem.  It has been 2 years since I first used drysol and I have been dry ever since.  If you want a permanent solution, I would strongly recommend this life changing product."


"I initially used Inderal to assist with "stage fright" for large work presentations (it lowers heart rhythm and so reduces the signs of nervousness). I noticed while taking it that I had fewer headaches and migraines, so my doctor recommended I continue with it. I have now been using a low dose of Inderal for around 4-5 years. It has reduced the frequency of migraines from around a 8-10 a year to 3-4 a year. Headaches have been reduced from several a week, to one every couple of weeks. I have experimented with reducing the dose and frequency however that has resulted in a return of migraines. The main side effect I have noticed is colder extremities (hands and feet). I assume this is due to the poorer circulation caused by Inderal."


"This medicine worked well . I didn't have that many side effects. I took adderall and this one was much better ."


"Okay... I had read horror stories about the IUD insertion process, so I agonized over whether or not I wanted to try other forms of birth control instead. I decided to go with Mirena anyway. I took Midol 4 hours and 1 hour before my appointment, and experienced little to no pain during or after insertion. The "pain" could be described as mild cramping at best. I have had very little bleeding and zero other side effects from insertion. I will check back in a few months with info about other potential side effects/effectiveness, but so far, so good. It seems like everyone is different, but if you can handle a week of PMS or period symptoms, you can probably handle the IUD insertion."


"I had panic attacks for years.  I started using Celexa at 10mg per day and the panic attacks stopped.  I still get nervous when I am in situations where there is focused attention on me (social phobia).  That is where the Ativan plays it's role.  Before a social situation, I take a 5mg Ativan.  It is fast acting and wears off quickly.  It allows me to relax into a situation and become comfortable with the new environment.  I only take it a few times a month, so there is no danger of becoming addicted.  Just knowing I have one pill with me helps me face situations better.  It's a 'crutch', I know.  But, when dealing with anxiety, we all know that we do what ever we can to cope!"


"I switched from Prozac to Imipramine after reading extensively about how successful it was before the advent of SSRI's.  I have had ZERO side effects and no drowsiness on 100mg of Imipramine, while Prozac made me manic and absolutely ruined my gastrointestinal tract.  I have been very happy with this medicine, best one I have taken so far for Major Depression.  It is also cheap."


"I am a 47 year old man and have been on several medications for my schizoaffective disorder and depression.
My last antidepressant was Efexxor XR which killed my sex drive for several years.
I suggested my Pdoc to try Wellbutrin XL and I shall say that that my sexual life increased from 1 to 10.
I am very pleased with this medication and would recommend it to anyone."


"Indomethicin ER 75 mg extended release capsules have worked best for me."


"My 8 year old daughter has ADD, she is not really hyper, just has an attention deficit. We started her on Focalin, and that turned her into a clingy, bashful, quiet kid. I can't say if it really helped her in school; I never saw an improvement. Then we switched to Adderall 10mg XR this past summer, and she is doing well. SHE even told me she liked this medicine because she can focus now. She still needs us to keep an eye on her but she is much better than she was."


"Good over all. Got my life together, saved my life u could say, yes. I have a slow heart rate , other vitals well in healthy person blood pressure range "


"Absolutely hate the packaging. Vagifem's was so much better. I need scissors to cut the applicators apart, versus just tearing with Vagifem. Two times in 2 weeks the tablets were found stuck to my slippers or pj bottoms because they fell out. What a crappy packaging method and applicator issue that would be so easy for them to correct! As far as effectiveness goes, I see no difference between this drug and Vagifem, but I still wish I could use Vagifem - too expensive though."


"Tried Cialis because the side effects from Levitra were unbearable and any improvement in my erection was far out weighed by the side effects.
When I have tried Cialis I have suffered debilitating headaches for 24hours...never even got to sex on it. Seems I really can't tolerate this class of medicines."


"My wife took this medicine for two days only, just 9 days ago, and we're not sure she's going live another week.  She stopped it after the 2nd dose because she got severe stomach pain and low back ache.  The last 4 days she has barely had enough strength to get out of bed to use the bathroom.  She has a difficult time breathing, is coughing way too much, has diarrhea, no appetite, headache, dry mouth.  Her symptoms now look like congestive heart failure. No one should have to go through this with a drug that's supposed to help, not kill you."


"Works great for me. Have been taking Cialis for almost two months now. You can relax knowing that you will be able to get rock hard erections and also be able to have sex multiple times on one dose. I take 20mg as needed. Usually about an hour or so to start feeling the effects. Like others have stated its a huge confidence booster. At age 37 I'm having the best sex of my life. My girlfriend is enjoying it to!"


"After trying Zoloft, Effexor and Lexapro, we tried Cymbalta.  The worst experience I have ever had with a drug to treat my MDD.  I was on it for ONE NIGHT. Literally, just one night. I took it that night and woke up about 6am the next morning or thoughts of cutting off my hand. I heard a voice in my head telling me my hand was bad. Telling me that I needed to cut it off. I stuck my hand under my pillow, and laid there staring at the wall. I hoped the voices would go away. I eventually fell back asleep. Later that day I took the medicine to my psychiatrist and left it on her desk. I told her, "here you take this crazy making drug". I'm depressed, but not crazy."


"Great great great product. Who ever invented this  should be eligible for all awards in this universe as the inventor making men active in 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 or 70.."


"I've been on this for 15 years. Started out on .25mg daily, now I'm at 1mg 4x daily.
This truly does help tremendously, especially when,having a panic attack.
Just please know that if you try and stop it, please see a Dr! You get really sick, I have never felt that bad in my life...I felt like I was dying. You need to properly tapered off.
This medicine is great but also has serious mental and physical side effects, especially when used for long time periods."


"After trying Zoloft and Lexapro, without any success and made my symptoms worse. Luvox helped me getting my life back, the best medicine. I feel MUCH more in control of my OCD. Excellent.. even when I feel sleepy sometimes as a side effect.. its worth it!"


"I have been on Zoloft for 6 months 100mg a day. It worked great for me. Then out of the blue I started feel bad again like I felt before I started Zoloft. Low energy & borderline anxiety attacks all day every day."


"I'm 24 yrs old. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. So far I've been on short-acting Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine and Vyvance. The whole works. Nothing ever worked well. I either had severe stomach aches and I would get so irritable it amazes me that my husband didn't divorce me so far.

I've been on Concerta (36mg) for a short time and so far it has helped me a great deal. I can concentrate now and I'm not even near as irritable. Simple things wont set me off anymore. Finally for the first time in my life I can relax, being able to sit down without shaking and feeling really uncomfortable. I don't get the urge to constantly "do something"."


"I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I was first prescribed Concerta. Since Concerta is part instant release and part extended release it starts working extremely quick, within 15-30 minutes, which was nice because there was no need to time things out when taking the medication. Unfortunately, Concerta starts working immediately and also stops working immediately which for me led a horrific crash. I was irritable and angry after the medication wore off. Due to this my doctor switched me to Vyvanse. Vyvanse is a prodrug which means the actual drug inside the capsule is not therapeutically helpful until it gets broken down in the body. This allows for a nice steady come up and no crash when the medication is eventually excreted."


"I love it! Been having nexplanon since september 2013 getting it removed next year and getting another for sure! I have been having mood swings here and there but nothing too severe. Great birth control in all"


"The insertion was nothing, no weight gain. But now that I am working out I can't lose weight. I got it April 15 of this year. I've noticed quite a bit more acne than usual but that may be because its a hot sweaty summer. So convenient. I would definitely recommend this."


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


"30lbs lost. New outlook on life. Does make me have trouble sleeping."


"This is the only blood pressure medicine that seems to work for me.  Minimal side effects.  "


"This is my second time on the camrese lo. My first experience was pretty crappy. I started spotting the last week of the first pack and didnt stop spotting until the week before my period week. I had a easy light period whice was nice. I had my dr give me a script for something else just taking a normal 28 day cycle. My period was terrible though so i chose to try the camrese lo again. So far im in the third pack and no spotting. I think my body needed to re adjust or something from the mini pill i was on before. Either way im very happy with my results the second time around."


"I honestly have not had too many problems with this. I have had it for almost 5 months now and at  first I did get migranes and gained about 20 lbs but after about 2 months the headaches went away and I am just now getting my period for the first time since starting this birth control. It is lasting over 2 weeks though. So I guess the most helpful thing I can say is a majority of the side effects will be temporary and are usually just your body adjusting and that it is a very effective form of birthcontrol! Don't let certain reviews scare you because everyone has a different experience!"


"Worse drug ever!! Was depressed and more sick :("


"I take Skelaxin on occasion when my back has been stressed from excessive use, having 2 bulging discs.  When stressed, my back tenses and I have severe back pain.  One pill for about two days always relieves the pain and I get back to normal.  The only side effect I get is flushing of my face."


"I too woke up in the middle of my sleep because of the bad taste in my mouth. I thought I needed to eat but whatever I eat, it doesn't go. So I googled about it and found this site. I ate a salty meal, candies, chocolate, carrot and nothing works. I've only had two tablets so far."


"I have been feeling very bad for the last 3 weeks.  I even went to the ER.  I have had high BP, constant headache, shortness of breath, chest pains, rapid heartbeat and buzzing in my ears.  It has not helped my bladder issues. Worst of all, none of the doctors I have seen, figured that out. Even after asking what all my medications are.  When they kept telling me all was well, except for mildly high BP. So, each time I left feeling like I was going crazy or a hypochondriac. Then I started thinking, what drug have I started taking most recently.   I looked it up and surprise......there were all my symptoms. Well, I have stopped taking this drug and will not recommend it to anyone......"


"Before taking Indocin aches and pain are felt throughout my joints. When I take it at night I sleep better and the following day I feel the pain is diminished by 60% or better. I stop taking them after 3 to 4 days and start when the pain gets unbearable."


"Horrible. I got it in at the end of March this year, the bleeding began two weeks after I got it in and I bled for 7 months. My doctor suggested I try things like taking diclofenac for a week and it didn't help one bit. I bled lightly at first and as it progressed it made me bleed heavier and heavier. Didn't go ONE day without bleeding, had to use tampons and liners for 7 months straight. Also made me break out more, only upside was weight loss. My doctors also suggested I use birth control pills to see if it would stop the bleeding but I had had enough! If you enjoy not bleeding and being able to engage in any kind of sexual activity DO NOT get the nexplanon!!!!"


"After years of bad experiences with birth controls, my OB recommended the iud for me. Id taken orthotricycline and trisprintec for many years, and a few years on nuvaring. I suffer from acne, migraines, and depression very bad and also have had problems with weight gain and decreased sex drive with other birth controls. My doctor told me about Skyla and I signed up for it that day! About a month later I got the call from my doctors office that they recieved my device and scheduled an insertion for the week of my period. Well my period was late, so my cervix wasn't dialated and was extremely sensitive and the insertion was super painful. I had a normal period and spotted for a week after. Now my sex drive is great and my acne is better!"


"Taking Micardis, sotalol, norvasc and still run 140 over 90 to 110 blood pressure.  Been on this for years with different doctors.  They help but never get me normal blood pressure."


"I just got my skyla IUD inserted today. My gyno said I had to be on my menstrual cycle in order to get the insertion. So about 30mins before my appointment I took 1000mg of a pain reliever, since I've read many women do. However, my gyno did not recommend me to take anything. Anyways I was one of those girls looking up everything I could about skyla, reading good and also bad comments. I was nervous. Unfortunately I was not one of the lucky ones that didn't feel anything. It hurt me, I had horrible cramps while I was getting it inserted. It did go very fast though, maybe 30-45seconds. It hurt but by the time I knew it, it was in ☺ after I had a sonogram to make sure it was in place (which is was). I've been having mild cramps since."


"Tried all of the diets and many of the supplements. Simple 5'4 203 pounds six month later I have lost 38 pounds. This works and that has been my journey so far."


"I found this medicine remapril caused me excessive itching so much that I ended up with sores on my backside. I also found I was unable to leave my home because of the frequent accidents I was having. Diahorria. I stopped taking the tablet and all is well again. I was surprised by my Doctors reaction when I asked for an alternative tablet. He told me it was alright to stop and didn't offer any alternative. This is puzzling after having read why the tablet was prescribed in the first place"


"My dad had MLS and then evolved into Leukemia (AML). He had traditional chemotherapy but had severe complications. He is going into his 4th cycle of Vidaza and he is doing great. His blood cells counts are lower some days of the month but they recover almost to normal. He had trouble with platelets. At the start he had a lot of transfusions (by now he has almost had 200) but in the last months had been fewer, a lot fewer. And the doctor considers that Vidaza starts working after 6th cycle so his platelet count will increase. The doctor considered bone marrow transplant but he decided that since he is in total remission and doing well with Vidaza they will wait until 9th cycle and decide then. He has no side effects but a little fatigue."


"Woke up at 1 AM with chills. Later in the day fever was spiking to 104 even with Advil so decided to go to Urgent Care. Doc was nice but tried to pursuade me not to take Tamiflu due to side effects and minimal benefits. I took the prescription but was undecided about using it. Anyway after paying $161, I thought I would give it a shot. Took first dose at 7:45 PM, about 19 hours after onset of symptoms. Vomited after 45 minutes and then again after another hour. I was really regretting taking it. Then woke up at 2 AM to find that I had no fever and no muscle ache! I feel 80% better already, just 7 hours after first dose. Hard to believe how fast this thing worked. I will try next dose with meal and hope that helps reduce vomiting."


"Got the implant in October 2015 and just had it removed July 2016. Gained a total of 45 pounds. Also had acne, mood swings, irritability, no energy, and extremely tired. Irregular periods and prolonged periods as well. No wonder this is birth control - who wants to have sex? Couldn't wait to have this out! Will NEVER get it again and will not recommend it to anyone else either."


"It was night and day for me too. I don’t have depression any more."


"My experience has been a good one. I am on week two and I have lost 10 pounds. It has taken away all my cravings and I dont eat in between meals anymore. I have not had any of the side effects they talk about except for an ever so slight headache at times. I contributed that to caffeine withdrawal.  I have also stuck to eating healthy and cut out alcohol. This has definitely been a good change for me."


"It is good to hear that Pristiq has helped a lot of people, unfortunately it did not work out for me. I felt okay in the beginning, but after 2 months on 100mg I started to feel irritable, nauseated, extremely tired and had the most disturbing dreams. I will have to find something else."


"I was prescribed this only a few days ago because I generally only pass a bowel motion about once a week. My dosage is 20mls per day and I initially didn't think it was working but it has most definitely kicked in now!

 I've had heaps of flatulence since first taking it and now, 2hrs after my 3rd dose, I feel about 5 kilos lighter. Im so glad that I am not at work  because the smell of this first visit to the bathroom is absolutely revolting....(sorry for over sharing). It tastes sickly sweet but I'm getting used to it.

I think this product will actually change my life for the better.

PS. I'm in New Zealand where a lot of medication is funded by the government."


"Hi Everyone,

My doctor recommended 24-hours Breo to replace my Adaviar 250/50.

In the first 4 days of taking Breo, I experienced most of the side affects of Breo (fever, chest infection, cough, mouth pain, excessive discharge, runny nose, sore throat, headache, back pain). I stopped taking Breo and went back to Advair.

Will wait and see when the medication is improved.

Thanks, Raed"


"I started using Contrave 3 months ago.  I take one 12 hour extended release tab twice daily and I must say I have never witnessed results as quickly as I have with contrave.  My starting weight was 233.4 and in three months I’m down  20.8 pounds to 212.4.  I weigh just about daily to get an accurate track of my weight loss or gain but I have noticed anywhere from a .4 to .8 weight loss per day with no exercise other than waking around inside the office and doing business.  The only other thing I did in addition to taking contrave is that I have cut out most carbs that I once ate way to much or like bread, beer, French fries, baked potatoes, white rice and my old favorite Thai food noodles.  After doing all of that I’m steadily losing weight"


"I don't do the best on any medicine. I've fought UTIs for years. I'm pregnant and was terrified to take another medicine. But UTIs can be serious and the pain I was in was horrific. I'm on 100mg 2x daily for 3 weeks-  no issues. Day 4 - Urine is neon but UTI had it discolored anyway. No issues so far. Minimal headache (could be from the other infection I have too) and no discomfort. I'm pleasantly surprised.  This is working well for me and my medical needs."


"My doctor gave me a trial pack of Belsomra 15 mg about 2 months ago. It worked wonderfully. I am now in my second 30 pack of Belsomra 15 mg. It has given me my life back. Now, I sleep like a regular person and wake up feeling refreshed. I track my sleep using the Microsoft Band and have found that I get enough "restful" (I'm assuming this means REM), sleep every night. I want to note that Merck did not want to offer the very low doses of Belsomra as the medication does not work well if you take under 10 mg. My current dosage of 15 mg works great and I don't wake up groggy. I consider Belsomra a true revolution in sleep medicines. By the way, Merck subsidizes the cost of Belsomra for the first year. Look for the coupon."


"I was prescribed the medication after my gastric bypass surgery for psychotic episodes. I take it at bedtime. It has truly changed my life. If I miss one dose it is very noticeable. The only side effect is a weight gain of about 6 pounds every four months. But is definitely worth it."


"No more withdrawal symptoms. Clonidine works when I'm out of oxycodone. I can sleep and be normal like I've never taken an opiate. "


"I got my paragard in May of 2014 and I love it! I don't remember much pain during the insertion process, but I did have a child 6 months prior to getting it. During the first 6 or so months, my periods were extremely heavy, to the point i was lightheaded for the first few days due to the extreme blood loss. I also had extremely bad cramping along with it; I never got cramps with my period before getting this. Because of this, I was at the point where I was about to get it removed, but I wanted to give it another month before doing so. I am glad I waited! Once my body got used to it, I was completely fine!! I haven't had any problems since then. I don't even know it's there anymore! I recommend it to anyone who can't take the pill."


"Very bad side effect: insomnia, depression, important weight lost..."


"I got Paragard for a more effective, long lasting birth control. I didn't want to worry about missing a pill when I was taking birth control. I had Paragard placed June 16, 2017, and today, September 19, 2017, I found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy. I'm 22 and haven't planned on having kids for years--hence a birth control that's *supposed* to be effective for 10 years. Yet Paragard failed me after less than three months. Needless to say, I do not recommend it to anyone."


"I was pregnant and had severe morning sickness. I was throwing 7-10 a day on a good day. With the Zofran I was down to once or maybe twice a day. I was able to eat and drink liquids again. The chalky flavor does get to you after an extended period of time."


"I take Donnatal with Reglan 30 minutes before meals and at bedtime. It helps with the intestinal and stomach cramps! Plus it also helps with the diarrhea. It is a miracle drug and I am glad I asked my doctor about it plus the phenobarbital in the Donnatal helps my anxiety!"


"The flow is better. I had to go to the ER, because I could not pee.  They catheterized me, got over 800 cc's from bladder. The ER doctor put me on Flomax, I am on blood pressure meds, and they help, but the pharmacist mentioned that Flomax can cause blood pressure to drop even more, and ask if I have a blood pressure monitor and I said yes, she said I should keep a close eye on it.  The lowest it got was 108/60, pulse 49.  The only positive thing, is that I am peeing again. The worst thing and this had never been an issue, is that, when I get the urge to go pee, I have to RUN to the bathroom or I won't make it in time.  ER Dr. wants me to follow up with my PCP ASAP."


"I am on day 3 of my cycle and of taking Lysteda. I take 2 pills 3x's a day.  This is my first months use and I can say without doubt I will take Lysteda as long as my doctor will allow! I am usually homebound the first 3 days of my period as I have to have access to a bathroom every 15 minutes. Not to mention the horrendous pain from cramps. Lysteda started working within a half hour of taking first dose.  My flow was reduced by at least 60%. A couple of ibuprofen for light cramps and life was business as usual.  I was able to go out and not worry about excessive bleeding. After more than 30 years of being imprisoned by my cycle I finally can live life again! I am so happy I just want to shout it from the top of the world! "


"I took Celexa a few years back for my chronic depression.  It didn't make me feel so good so after 6 months I went off it, cold turkey, and dealt with the withdrawal symptoms of that drug (zaps!).  So when I got offered Paxil for my social anxiety and depression, and heard that there were withdrawal symptoms, I decided that if it helped, I'd try it.  In just these few weeks, my friends and I have noticed a huge change.  No weight gain, more energy, upbeat and outgoing, smiley and laughing, and optimistic for the first time in...my life?  Only downfall I've noticed so far is the crippling nausea and dizziness the first three days of taking the medicine. I feel fantastic now!"


"I used to be on Armour...then it was unavailable for a while since they were reformulating it.  I don't know why they had to reformulate it.  It was working fine and is an old reliable drug.  After the reformulation, my side effects (that I didn't have before) included my feet cramping at night.....often.  Changed to Nature-throid and don't have that problem."


"Nasonex worked quickly at helping the inflammation in my throat but I was getting daily headaches so I had to stop using it."


"Why can't they go back to the old method of making Armour Thyroid? I've tried the synthetic meds before. I don't feel like myself and had msny issues with side effects. Even a mix of two different ones trying to get my t3 right. Tsh levels always good or played games of too high or too low until the t3 was studied.

Yes I've had more issued with sleeping, insomnia, irritability, focus, weight loss, hair loss, and for the first time in my life I had a migraine over a year ago and now needing to take daily meds for them.

Does anyone know of another company even out of the US where we could buy the old formula from.use of pig glands certainly can't be expensive.just another company filling thier pockets while given a lesser product, we suffer"


"Excellent results in the first try; removing years of disappointments.  As a diabetic, the use of needles is not new but I was unsure of this location and possible errors.  It was easy, accurate and without side effects."


"It has made me extremely nauseous. I can't stop throwing up. So far it hasn't helped with cramps or acne. My period hasn't went off since I started it and I start the placebo pills in 3 days. Will be consulting my doctor to switch once this pack is done."


"I'm 16 and I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo because I suffer from hormonal severe acne. I've had horrible acne since 7th grade. On the issue of acne, while I was on the pill, after 3 months my skin was clear. In the last remaining week, I got sick everyday. Then I was finished with my pill because it cured my acne. Suddenly a couple months later, my acne returned again. I just started taking my pill again. I am feeling the nausea and headaches. I take the pill at night, so I don't feel it when I go to bed. Unfortunately the following morning I feel intense nausea. If you are looking to treat acne this is the pill. Just the side effects can be a pain."


"I have been taking Paxil for 3 years now. It has helped me very much. I'm 21 years old and have had no side effects from it. I'm glad to feel normal again. Without Paxil I would be an emotional wreck."


"Out of all the medicines I've tried Viibryd has been the only one to help me. Finally, after 15 years of struggling I feel "normal"."


"Very well tolerated"


"They work very well"


"I've been on Sronyx for about 2 years now and I love it. I trust this birth control and it has decreased my blood flow during my period. I used to have extremely heavy blood flow and extreme fatigue during my period. After I started Sronyx my period is light and I don't cramp as bad as I used to. I did see a change in my mood but I have managed to control it and not display the moods that I feel."


"Good medicine, effect is better."


"Got this shot as a recommendation from my dr to stop the bleeding I had when my IUD didn't stick. It stopped the bleeding for a month then came back slow bleeding for half a month then full on heavy bleeding with large blood clots for now 2 months. I was soaking though a purple 10 hour pad in and hour sometimes 30 minutes. I lost so much blood I was admitted to the hospital and received 4 blood transfusions. When released from the hospital they said nothing on how to stop the bleeding or if it would stop. I've been out of the hospital a week and I'm still losing so much blood. I can't even go to work because whether I'm sitting or standing I go though two 10 hour pads and an adult diaper in an hour."


"Start 05/23/13 -234 lbs down to 222 lbs 06/12/13. 1200 Calories a day and cardio 4 x a week and light weights.   Female, Age 46 - Insulin Resistance-Metformin, Hypothyroidism -Synthroid and rheumatoid arthritis -Methotrexate -Hoping to get down to 175Lbs or lower to get off all this crap...maybe not the rheumatoid arthritis meds. First headache today and a little tired.  Trial medicines..blew through those.  Expensive medicines but works."


"Thins and discolors the skin. Also can cause glaucoma if you get it in your eyes.!!!"


"After my second pregnancy I had Liletta put in. I chose Liletta over Paragard this time because I've always been a heavy bleeder with heavy cramps so when the doctor told me this would help both of those that was another plus and so I went with Liletta. I got it put in Oct. 9th, almost a month after giving birth, which was also the last day of what seemed to be a regular period for me so I was happy to be done bleeding. Well I had it inserted which was surprisingly less painful than when I had Paragard almost 5 years put it. I haven't had any abdominal cramps but my back pain is excruciating! And I HAVE NOT STOPPED BLEEDING! If I bleed till end of December, I will have it removed!"


"So, I have reviewed before back in June! I didn't have a cycle since May, I started bleeding a few days ago, it wasn't bad, but now it's super heavy but absolutely no cramps. It's like when I wasn't on birth control."


"I have been taking this medication for about 2 weeks now.. I got prescribed it in the hospital after a fallout. I tried prozac while in high school and had no luck with it. Then was prescribed Zoloft a few months ago and obviously didn't work.. considering landing myself in the hospital. Now trying Wellbutrin. Even though I have just started it I'd say that I do see some positive effects in it. I have more motivation and trying to do better for myself. But, I do have some side effects including really bad headaches, ringing in ears, insomnia, dizziness at times with nausea. I also have noticed taking Excedrin to suppress the headaches doesn't help, but make my anxiety increase. Don't take a dose late either as that just increases mood swing"


"I was on this pill for a little more than one year before I switched to an IUD (mirena)

Pros:

-regular, short, predictable periods with little to no PMS

-clear skin

-went up a cup size (B to C)

Cons:

-increased vaginal discharge and odor

-weight gain (20lbs) with little to no change in diet/exercise

-moodiness/days of low energy

I might have stayed on this pill because of the regular periods and clear acne, but the weight gain made me self conscious and a break from daily pills (with IUD) was appealing."


"I am a 50 yr old male who has suffered from migraines for nearly 40 yrs.  The toughest yrs (about 25 of them) consisted of migraines in excess of 300 days in any given yr.  Then I found Topamax and asked my Neurologist if we could give it a shot for me.  That was 6 yrs ago and now I have less than 50 headaches (not migraines), headaches in any given year.  My dose is 200mg in the morning and 200mg in the evening, and yes like most of you I have had to deal with the numbing in the extremities but you get over it in time.  The memory thing, well, how good was my memory anyway when I had a migraine that lasted for 6 months and I was blacking out at times, tunnel vision and puking almost daily.  This medication gave me my life back.  Thanks!"


"Took my first 25 mg Briviact pill yesterday morning. Felt fine. Took another 25 mg last night, without problems. So glad to find a good med, finally! Took it again this morning, and I felt ok. Then about 2.5 hours before time to take it again, it was a completely different story  I was nervous, irritable, agitated, want to scream my head off, tense, feeling like the incredible Hulk is going to explode out of my body, want to cry, don't talk to me, don't touch me, don't look at me, don't breathe my direction, eyes darting back and forth, and serious drug withdrawal kind of feeling!!! NO!!! I WILL NOT BE TAKING MY NEXT DOSE!!!"


"Love it! The hot flashes aren't much fun, but they're worth having no period or pain!"


"I began taking this medication in September 2014. I used it for 6 months and lost 50 pounds. I had a few side effects such as constipation and loss of sleep, but both were very manageable. This medication reduced my appetite so much that at times I had to force myself to eat just to make sure I was taking in at least 1000 calories a day as directed by my doctor. I went off the medication and gained about 10 pounds back, so now I am restarting the medicine after being off a while. It's no miracle drug, but it is a great tool."


"I have been using Imitrex since it first came out in the 90's. It was a God send. I've had migraines for 42 years. I get about six migraines a month. Imitrex always works BUT for me I pay a price with stomach aches. Sometimes I refrain from taking Imitrex for fear of the stomach pains."


"I think this birth control is extremely effective. I have few mood swings before my periods come. But other then that my face is clear, my weight is fine, mild cramping. And even better it works."


"Seroquel has worked wonderful for me so far! Levels out my ups and downs. No racing thoughts. Doesn't make me aggressive. Helps with my post traumatic stress disorder also!"


"It's a wonder drug. I have been using it for the last four years and have found the problem to improve dramatically."


"It works well if you can stand the side effects; weakness in limbs, dry mouth/throat, constant sore throat that feels like strep and constant thirst. I had to quit and return to Flomax as it just makes me dizzy."


"I have just started to use Elavil - this is my third day of taking this medication and I already feel a little better."


"Great drug. Never knew how important sleep was to the human body. Would only sleep 3 hours a night and thought that was normal. However since I have been on Ambien, I eat at night and do not remember it at all. My family tells me I am funny but do not remember talking to them. Never had dreams before, now they are vivid and real and colorful, this is a bit on the weird side."


"I had implanon for three years prior to this nexplanon. I had no issues with implanon at all. I was period free for three years with no side effects. Now the problem with nexplanon: I have horrible cramping and pain that lasts up to a week sometimes. It seems to be every other week now. It interferes with work and my home life as we all know pain can make us miserable and cranky. I went to the doctor she said it was this and just my normal period (Minus bleeding) I've had periods for over 15 years and never had periods this painful! The pain is so bad that regular over the counter pain killers don't touch it and I refuse to take anything stronger. The health risks from over the counter pain killers are bad enough. My only option? Removal"


"I had a stubborn UTI that was unresponsive to Cipro and starting to show signs of a kidney infection. This drug was a miracle worker. Within 48 hours I finally felt relief after a long, horrible wait of dealing with intense bladder pressure. I ate heavy meals with each pill, did not experience nausea or other GI issues. I was however tired ALL 7 days of this pill. I slept so much, I mean seriously this pill knocked me out. So that is frustrating, but will take fatigue any day over GI symptoms and at the point I started taking this drug I was willing to try anything to get rid of this infection. I was SO miserable. I just finished my last pill and noticed a dry cough with shortness of breath, so that's why I gave it an 8."


"I've been on antidepressants since the age of 12.  I'm 53 now.  I also have fibromyalgia.  I was on Cymbalta.  Due to cost my doc gave me a sample pack of Viibryd.  2 days and I'm in incredible fibro pain, along with severe diarrhea. Not good on my hemorrhoids.  Not sure I'll stay on this one."


"I felt relief on day 2 of the titration pack.  Savella has been a miracle for me, I am pain free.  The only side effect that I am experiencing is anxiety, which is getting better and I hope will disappear.  I do wonder, if it is contributing to some of the weakness that I feel, but it is so hard to tell since muscle weakness was a huge problem to begin with.  I am grateful for this drug.  I'm sorry to hear that many of you are experiencing such side effects.  I wish that we could all be pain free."


"For last 8 months, Fetzima has worked very well (after the initial transition period from my last medication.) Over the last 15 years, I have been on many effective anti-depressants, but after about 2-3 years these medications start to become ineffective (Zoloft, Lexapro, Cymbalta, etc). Started taking Fetzima 8 months ago, and the first month involved a lot of agitation/anger (very unlike me) and also having to adjust the dosage upward.....now at 120. Since then It has been a good experience. Feel centered and have energy. One very good side effect has been pain relief from my arthritis in my knees and back. I have dry mouth with this and every other anti-depressant I have taken. The drug is very expensive."


"I have tried so many drugs for my ADHD and nothing has helped. My Med. Doctor gave me a GeneSight and it came back that I can take nothing for ADHD. So we tried Clonidine and I am so thankful we did. I don't obscess with thoughts and actions and have been able to sleep at night and get plenty of sleep. I do wake up with a bit of a hangover but that don't last long and that is okay because I'm sleeping at night. I am so thankful for Clonidine after many years of try different drugs and not getting stable this has been a wonder drug. I take Effexor and Latuda and with these drugs I am doing great. Thank god for these three drugs"


"After years of trying numerous medications (none ever working the way Midrin did) and wanting something I could function on, but would get rid of/or at least lessen my pain I tried Amerge for the first time last night. I took it around 6:00pm with food, and within 20 minutes I was crashed out on the sofa. I woke up almost 2 hours later with stomach cramps, a very fast heartbeat, an extreme confusion. My husband was talking to me, but I could neither understand him nor could I put words together. I tried to stand up to say goodnight to my daughter, and I walked directly into our coffee table and almost fell over. It took a good hour before I felt like myself. However, my headache was gone! I don't know if the side effects are worth it."


"After two months of taking this medicine I suddenly developed a terrible oily, metallic taste in my mouth.  It is constant and dampens the taste of all foods and drinks. After I eat I have a greasy feeling on my tongue.  I stopped taking the medicine because of the side effects.  I didn't realize before how common this side effect is or I would not have taken this medicine.  I hope my sense of taste returns quickly.  I feel like I poisoned myself."


"I got my liletta on Sept 25th 2017 (a little over 2 months ago) while I was on my period. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but it was pretty painful. I have no kids & my dr. struggled with placing it so it took longer than normal(25 mins). The first week I had cramps, now I have them occasionally. I’ve been spotting ever since I got it inserted and I can’t wait for the spotting to stop. I’m really thin about 95lbs & have always had irregular periods. I haven’t noticed any body changes except a loss of appetite, I’m just not hungry anymore and nothing sounds good. My boyfriend hasn’t noticed the strings either. I found out I had BV 2 weeks ago and took antibiotics and now that is gone but still bleeding."


"I used to be prescribed this drug when I was about 17. I was taken off it because the doctors said it can be addicting. It really helped me get through my panic attacks. They switched me to Xanax. I'm just on paxil now. My father takes alprazolam once a day and it helps him, along with therapy."


"I been on Byetta for 1 year now. It helped me lose weight (40 pounds) and it controls my sugar level but my stomach feel bloating most of the time and the pain in my upper left side of the stomach is been intolerable. "


"I'm a mother of 1 and have been on Skyla the past 6 months. Absolutely love it so far."


"Using the drugstore chain's own brand of doxylamine succinate. I am a 79-year-old woman, with a long history of insomnia. I have tried other remedies, but find this the most effective, with virtually no adverse side effects. I have discovered that half a tablet is sufficient to give me a good, solid  eight hours of sleep, with any slight grogginess disappearing very quickly in the morning. I don't take it every night because of concerns about dependency, so it usually amounts to not more than 2 or 3 nights a week. Enthusiastically recommended."


"I've been on this pill for around 11 months, and for the most part I find it good. I started off using it just to regulate my period, not knowing that it would just go away after the first few months. I'm sexually active and I find that it does decrease my sex drive. It was very frightening when I stopped having my period, and I did gain weight, but I take pregnancy tests periodically (just as a precaution). I still have period symptoms at the end of the pack, but I haven't had one in 7 months. The worst thing I find about this pack is that it makes me more emotional and increases my headaches."


"Started working about 2 weeks after starting it, at which time I also experienced a significant hair loss. The first two weeks of taking it there was an increase in my anxiety. It worked great for about 2 months until my panic attacks came back. I have stayed on it for over 2 years now for fear of rebound/withdrawal effects, but I don't feel it helps anymore. I continue to experience periods of significant hair loss. 36 year old female. Luckily I have extremely thick hair."


"I have been on this birth control for 5 months now and I love it. However, for the first two months I had irregular spotting and cramping. This eventually went away, I'm assuming it was just my body adjusting to the change. I would recommend this birth control to anyone."


"I've been taking Zoloft for about half a year now on 200mg. I'm not taking it for depression, it's being used in conjunction with other things for rage and anger, hypervigilence, as well as dissociation.

I've been pretty lucky with this medication because I experience absolutely zero side effects, in fact I could probably take a higher dose right now although I'd rather stick with the minimum and use coping techniques.

I still feel like "me" on Zoloft. In fact I feel more like myself then I have in a long time. I still feel my emotions and everything, although I experience them in a healthy, normal way. I don't experience all of the irrational, exaggerated, awful feelings and sensations I used to, in a good way.

I feel normal again."


"The medical establishment should be ashamed! I have struggled all my life with side effects from the 'acceptable' ADD medications.  They gave me anxiety and a crash that made me irritable to boot! I have none of those side effects now and people have noticed a very positive change in me.  I am much more successful at my job, my anxiety is much lower, and my wife has noticed my nightly irritability is completely gone. I now feel like a complete person! Why wasn't I prescribed this first? How much of my life have I lost? What could I have accomplished? I'm glad I didn't know this was actually methamphetamine when I was prescribed it or I would have said NO WAY. How the media portrays it and the actual effects on me are miles apart."


"I had a bad reaction to Metamucil until I figured out what to do.
I found that taking metamucil dried up my stool and gave me constipation :( I couldn't believe it didn't work because everyone loves it. BUT then I took magnesium with I and it was great. Magnesium diverts liquid to the colon so it gave me enough moisture to pass stool."


"Having gone through a long list of life's tribulations high BP and all that entails wasn't surprising.
Tried lisinopril several times, still felt general malaise. Went to cardiologist everything checked out.  I started taking hctz-after a day I felt great and two months in, still do.  Curious now why it works and is it compensating for lack in some organ.  I do not eat processed foods and am a healthy young woman of 65."


"Seroquel gave me my life back, calms me down and helps me think clearly during the day, and helps me sleep well during the night. Makes your mouth a bit dry and makes you hungry often but definitely worth it."


"I've now been on this drug for 5 months. I haven't self harmed during this time. I have gained some weight, although in recent weeks I've been able to stop bingeing for the first time in years. I tend to wake up feeling down or agitated, so perhaps the pills aren't working for the full 24 hours. However, once I've taken the medicines I am calm again. The major downside is that I easily sleep for 14 hours straight and find it impossible to motivate myself to do anything. The days go by very quickly and I do little other then eat, sleep and watch TV. In the long term this has to be a bad thing, but for now I'm happy not to be feeling ill."


"I've had Mirena in for a little over 5 months and I don't like it at all. In terms of a birth control it's great! But I have gained 25 pounds, have stomach pain all the time and take something for it everyday. I feel and look bloated and I have barely any sex drive and when I do most of the time sex hurts. "


"I have arthritis in my back, and without this medication I could not make it."


"I am very happy that I used this rather than the mega ounces of disgusting solution I drank for my first colonoscopy. If I ever have to repeat this I'm going to chill the solution first. I drank two sips at a time, alternating sips of soda and sucking on candy. There's no getting around the nasty taste, but here are my recommendations:  Follow a soft diet two days before your procedure. The day before follow a liquid diet to the letter. You won't have cramping nor abdominal pain. Distract yourself while you sip the solution. I stood in front of my TV, taking two sips at a time while sucking on a piece of candy. Alternate sips of icy cold water, soda, and solution.  Best of all, it works quickly."


"I had a surgery on my neck to remove a tumor. It caused nerve damage that was life altering. I dealt with it for a full year prior to a doctor prescribing Effexor. I got my life back. The pain is an annoyance now but much, much better. Taking 37.5 in morning and again at night. Started helping in about a week. Some sexual side effects but other than that I have my old life back. Also feel happier which I guess is a positive side effect."


"Due to chronic pain I take a lot of meds to begin with. I ended up in the hospital with a severe migraine that I'd already had for a few days (among other things). Morphine wasn't helping, not even Dilauded helped. I don't know who made the switch, but finally at the end of the second day a nurse came in to give me the Raglan, Toradol, Benadryl combo. Oh how I loved her after that. It burned slightly going into my IV (but Potassium burned a hell of a lot more) but that was really it. I didn't feel jittery but it's the usual initial feeling of light-headedness and warmth. It didn't last long and within a few minutes my head was starting to feel better. I was surprised this worked so well."


"I got this implanted into my arm exactly two years ago.. my doctor has now recommended me to get this taken out of my arm as soon as possible do to my abnormal weight gain. Sadly, I have gained about 60 lbs since having this birth control. My periods after the first year have been very irregular. All of this birth control method has prevented me from getting pregnant,  all the other side effects aren't worth it. I have an appointment within the next few weeks to get this taken out of my arm."


"I've been using this patch for 2 weeks and I feel exhausted. I keep sleeping and I still feel sleepy,  I do not have drive for doing regular activities and all started since I used this product. My breast are tender but look bigger which I don't mind at all. I feel very moody as well for no reason. I was hesitant about this patch brand because I did not have the knowledge, used other brand before and love the patches as birth control methods.  My insurance covered all the cost, pharmacy told me the out of pocket cost is $106 which is not bad for me, I think is worth it."


"This medication at first can have some strong, sedating side effects, but as long as you hang in there they will diminish. This medication has really helped my life. And I know it will help many others, from the cramping, the constant back and forth to the bathroom, not being able to eat, or eat to much, it just makes you normal again. It took me about 2 weeks to start seeing changes again but you will feel the effects right away. Just stay with it people."


"It works"


"i had real bad panic attacks so bad i thought i was going crazy...my doctor put me on zanax and i feel so much better ..i was afraid to leave my house .afraid to shop i would start to shop all of a sudden i had to run out the store.so much more things were happening..but thanks to zanax i am calm cool and collective...oh and sooooo happy"


"I've been experiencing Chronic Cluster Headaches since 2005. I had no idea what was going on, and suffered for 3 years untreated and undiagnosed. After some internet sleuthing I was able to tell my doc what was going on. Fast forward to 2016. I take verapamil 180mg er twice a day. This treatment has worked almost without fail, until just recently. In the past I have had to take other meds in combination with the verapamil such as...  Topamax, imatrex, magnesium, prednizone, and now lithium. None of these work for me, been having daily headaches again. I now have a sumatriptan injection I take when I feel one coming and it stops it within 10 minutes. I need help, please.  "


"Omg!! Fire fire fire. My vulva felt like I sat on a campfire!! This is too strong for a delicate place (vagina), almost an hour after insertion my itching intensified, burning felt as if I sat on Satan's lap just excruciating pain, until all of a sudden I felt relief out of no where. I will use a prescription from my MD next time. Whewwww  horrific experience."


"I am 25 years old with no kids. I got the Paraguard inserted 3 days ago and it has been the worse pain I have ever felt. The procedure only lasted for about 5 minutes so it was quick, however; the after pain has been nonstop. I have not been able to leave my couch for 3 days. I am just rating the insertion process. I feel like the doctor did not prepare me because I had no idea I would have this much pain. This weekend I had a wedding and many family plans that I had to cancel. I am taking 6 ibuprofen a day and when I stand up I feel like someone is stabbing me with a knife. I had a bowel movement and I literally felt like I was going to die. If it doesn't go away in a week I will have to remove to be able to work."


"I had unprotected sex on Friday. I took the pill around noon the next day. The next few days were unbearable and I spent each minute overwhelmed with anxiety and panic. Six days after I took the pill, I finally got my period. This experience has made me realize how important it is to practice safe sex.  If you are freaking out like I was about not getting your period, PLEASE do yourself a favor just don't psych yourself out. Until your period comes, there's nothing you can do but wait. "


"I'm 19yrs old and have been ill for 6 years but only officially diagnosed less than 1 year ago. Due to my age DRs would even even consider MS. I've been on Rebif 4 months, along with 2 infusions of solumedrol and I am going downhill fast. I fall daily, go blind and deaf and lose use of limbs few a times a week. I had to drop out of college due to cognitive issues when I had been a 4.0 student. Rebif has not helped. I struggle to walk, talk, think or even do basic things like eat. I feel Rebif should've helped by now. My mom has a $150 copay that Rebif pays so that's a plus. I have an apt with new MS specialist soon and will ask for new med. I'm not waiting for the "6month" trial period."


"I took this for 3 yrs and 6 months everything has been great for me, no gain weigth, no loss of appettite, basically the same on weight, but the only thing that changed was my sex drive, I dont feel the same its low sex drive, very dry down there. but other than that it worked good for me, have to change because of recent high blood preassure."


"I've been on several different antidepressants over the past 18 years but I must say that I've felt the best being on Viibryd. In the beginning of it I did suffer with diarrhea for approximately 6 weeks. The only two complaints I have with it is that I have a decreased sex drive and I've gained almost 45 lbs over a 1.5 years."


"My son has been placed on this medication for bipolar type 2 he had been off medicines for 6 years and after he quit smoking he lost it totally, could not keep his cool and blew up at everything. The girl he was seeing was the last straw and he snapped. Went back to suicidal thoughts and they put him on Celexia which was not helping any of the thoughts he was having and he was in tears over some things and punching walls on other things. He started this medication about 3 weeks ago, the thoughts he says are better but the agitation he got from quitting smoking is still a major problem. He just jumps down someones throat  for seemingly no apparent reason or he will not understand what someone is saying to him and read into it."
