"I've had severe chronic constipation for 3 years now. About a week ago I finally got health insurance so the first thing I did was make an appointment with a gastro. She prescribed me Linzess. For the first 2 days of taking it I had horrible cramps and my stomach was constantly making noises. Well on the 3rd day I finally went. It was only a tiny bit which was very disappointing. I'm now on day 4 and I am literally stuck to the toilet. I have severe cramps, nausea, heartburn, headache and no energy what so ever. I feel like I could fall asleep on the toilet. I have never been so miserable. I will definitely be calling my doctor on Monday and will never take this horrible pill again."


"Had this in hospial for colonoscopies and after surgeries. Excellent for pain but doesn't seem to last long."


"I took this pill for about a year.  It was the first birth control pill I had ever taken. My period stopped completely and my mood swings went away.  I did get some pimples but that could be due to anything. I had to stop taking it because of the price, but I recommend it."


"I was diagnosed with Atypical pneumonia and was prescribed 100 mg twice a day. Has not been helping. Still has cough and chest pain plus fatigue. Another doc plus ER prescribed  steroids prednisone 40 mg a day which works better but an instant weight gain of 10 pounds at least in a week. Feeling hopeless"


"Absolutely blooming awful!!!!! Have had this terrible thing in since January 2015 I kept thinking no I'll keep it in give it a chance! Well with most of the year and 2 months it's been in my arm I've spent most of that on my period! Weight gain something awful I, mood swings and my doctor told me that's not possible (a male doctor with no offence meant) how does he know? Did he have trouble with his implant too?Lol honestly I wouldn't even recommend this to my worst enemy! No sex drive and I either want to cry my eyes out or feel like I have no heart because I can't cry! Spotting is putting it mildly I have had normal discharge to brown discharge stomach pains cramps much worse than usual period pains which have always been bad Blood clots!"


"I've had this for almost 2 years. I rated it high because I am not pregnant. But I do feel that the bad side effects outweigh the good.

I didn't have a period for like 3 months and then I got one and it wasn't terrible. Then I consistently got them every 3 months.

However, the past 2 months I've gotten a heavy period every 2 weeks and they are painful.

Not to mention, I have definitely gained weight. If I had to guess I'd say 20 lbs. and I've stayed the same weight for awhile now. I'm 22. 5'10 and a college athlete. So I eat decently well and workout multiple times a day and I cannot lose a pound. My depression has also been bad. I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss other birth control options"


"Only recently got Mirena inserted but wanted to write a review to help calm the nerves of women ready negative reviews. I'll update as well a few months from now. Before I got this inserted I fell down the rabbit hole of reading reviews and scared myself almost to the point that I was going to cancel. I'm glad I didn't. I'm 27 with no kids and do not plan on having any. The insertion hurt but only for about 10 seconds the rest felt like a Pap smear. Took 5 minutes total. Currently having some spotting and cramps but nothing I can't handle. I'm so excited to not have to worry about pregnancy for the next 5 years and feel empowered by my choice to prevent this! and thanks to Obama care mine was totally free! Do it!"


"I have taken clonazepam for 20 years.  I have remained at 0.5mg 3x/day.  This is the ONLY medication that has significantly helped with my anxiety.  When I take it, I feel normal again.  SSRI's have given my side effects; I have none with clonazepam. Some docs don't like to prescribe it long-term, although we are talking about quality of life.  It ought to be the *patient's decision* if they want to remain on it.  If being dependent on something greatly improves quality of life, then it's worth it IMHO.  Some people are born with more anxiety than others.  This medication seems to correct that imbalance in brain chemistry."


"I had it for 3 years and it didn't get me pregnant but I did gain 30 pounds and acne problem started after a year. My sex life went down a lot."


"Worked for a while but have to take 2-3 to get to sleep and that's not good"


"Pros: no pregnancy.

Cons: 2 week periods. itchy scalp, dandruff. Facial acne. Shoulder, back, chest, upper arm acne. Emotional instability. Easily irritated. Weight gain.

I had this thing in for 2 months and had 'gained' 10 pounds by the time I got it removed. 48 hours later, and I've already lost 4 of these 10 pounds. This, in turn, led to me having zero confidence in myself. I am usually very confident. The acne was absolutely unbearable too.

After removal, my face is already clearing up. I do have many symptoms that lots of women have after removal, such as nausea and feeling emotional. I'll take that over having some controlling device inside my body. Doctor said it was like my body didn't want it, because it popped out right away."


"I have spinal stenosis, two herniated lumbar discs (inoperable due to location and prior surgery).  This medicine allows me at least to get out of bed on most days, and use either my quad cane or walker."


"I love how easy the procedure was and how well it works. I don't have to remember a thing. But I have been really moody - short temper and have headaches all the time. Hopefully this will change. "


"Well of course the condom broke inside of me. The last thing I needed to be was pregnant. I read the reviews on the pill and realized that there was a "weigh limit", well I am well over 176 lbs, and luckily it worked for me. I didn't have any side affects, although it took a while for my period to come on but I'm sure that was just because of stress."


"I am 19 years old & I have been taking Lutera for about seven months now. I have had hormonal problems and have noticed that this is a great solution. The pills are small and easy to take along with my other medications. The first two months of taking it I felt pretty nauseous & my breasts were a little tender.

I started having sex about five months ago & I was very nervous at first about getting pregnant, however after being on this contraception, I am confident that this is a genuinely effective pill to take. I strongly recommend!!"


"I have to say that the side effects are pretty harsh, but you have to remember that migraines are pretty debilitating and make life unbearable.  I'll take forgetting words rather than having 20 or more migraines a month.
The first month of taking the med is the absolute worst, but your doctor should strongly warn you and advise you that this will happen and encourage you to work through it.  I kept remembering her words and am glad I did.  started slowly, with 25 mg in the morning, working up to 25 mg twice a day, then 50 mg at night with 25 in the morning, then up to 50 mg twice a day by the end of the month.  Never ever start bing bang boom all at once, or you won't want to continue.  Maybe for those who quit, you could try again."


"Symbicort worked wonders for me, but when I talked my voice would trail off.  And I had to clear my throat to get my voice back.  Sometimes my voice sounded scratchy as well.  Doctor recommend I washed my mouth after each use.  But it still didn't work.  I am in sales so talking is important and had to change to something else."


"Worked as advertised.  Really helps."


"My 5 yr old daughter is taking this with great success. Has helped wonder with her mood swings and rages."


"I have benign tremors and hypertension.  I was taking one Inderol LA 60mg daily for the hypertension.  I went to an neurologist about the tremors and he asked my cardiologist to change me to one in the morning and two at night.  That was about 5 years ago.  It has been a great help for the tremors and my BP is awesome! [e.g., 120/75]  Now after so long I have developed a tolerance.  My docs think more per day will make my blood pressure too low. If I am really diligent about taking it the tremors are minimal."


"I had the Nexplanon placed June 2014. I have had nothing but problems ever since. I have had heavy bleeding for the past year, headaches, nausea, weight gain. I will never allow another Doctor to place anything foreign in my body ever again. This has been a terrible experience."


"I was diagnosed with hyperplasia. I was experiencing very heavy, clotty periods for YEARS. I thought this was normal until I had a month long period. This pill is heaven sent. I have not had a period for about 8 months, have lost a tone of weight, have more energy than I have had in years and I would say the only side effect is tender breasts. I cannot guarantee this result for everyone but clearly I was no producing my own progesterone."


"Great medicine for pain."


"Absolutely LOVE this birth control!!  I had mirena previously for 2 years and had the most awful experiences with it.  As soon as I got nexplanon all of my symptoms from mirena disappeared.  I have been more energetic, have had no headaches or pain whatsoever!  Absolutely recommend it."


"I tried Savella on the regular sample pack, which apparently progressed much too quickly for my body. I had horrible sweating, mental fog and freezing hands and feet. It was the oddest combination of side effects that rendered me completely nonfunctional. I tapered off the drug because of the terrible side effects, but when I went to see my doctor, he suggested I try again -- but much more slowly. I dread the side effects, but would like something that will make me feel normal eventually."


"I started taking phentermine on 3/1/2014, I weighed 179 pounds, after only 10 days, I've lost 9-10 pounds. Which I'm ecstatic about. I haven't had any of the side effects that I read about, other than the dry mouth, which is also great. I wonder if that means I'm not taking as high of a dose as I should be. I'm only 5 foot 2 inches. Within these 10 days, the first 7 days I lost my 9-10 pounds, nothing has changed since and I don't know why? My appetite had decreased and I work out 5 days a week for 1.5 hours..what's the deal? Does anyone know why I might already be at a plateau? I'm excited to have lost the 9-10 pounds, but I'm slowly getting discouraged again because more weight isn't falling off..... help."


"Didn't make my bladder infection go away, it hid all of the symptoms however when the prescription was done my infection was still there. I ended up on different antibiotics for 2 weeks."


"I'm 19 and this is my first time being on any type of contraceptive and I read so many horror stories about it, that I was terrified about taking it. I started it the day I started my period, which was 8 days ago. I have a pretty heavy flow--super plus tampons every 2-3 hours. Even the first period on the pill was much lighter and only lasted three days. My skin has cleared up a lot and it's very smooth, which I haven't had in so many years. I take the pill at 8 PM and the first few days on the pill, I would go to sleep and wake up being hungrier than usual, but that's passed already. I haven't gained any weight & my breast size hasn't increased & isn't tender. I've had a slight increase in vaginal discharge, but nothing too drastic."


"One week ago a MRI revealed a large central protrusion at L4-5 which is causing excruciating sciatica down my left leg. Orthopedic surgeon referred me to Spine & Sports Rehab who happily provided a prescription for Gabapentin. Took one, nothing. Started taking 300mg every 8 hours. It basically does nothing. No more pain reduction than taking 800mg of ibuprofen twice a day. Drs. these days know narcotics will help with nerve pain but they want you to suffer a long time before they prescribe it. A laminectomy is coming my way. I can barely walk. I just wish they could give me something to survive on until the surgery."


"This pills are a blessing! I started with 50mg ER twice a day, then increased to 2 x 50mg twice a day. 3 days ago it was increased again to 150mg ER twice a day and 75mg for breakthroughs pain.
I think the ER dosage will get increased once more to reduce the amount of the 75's I'm taking through the day as I've have had to take them every 6 h.
I have quite a few side effects: hot flashes, sweating, incredibly itchy, very shakey, decrease appetite, nausea and today for the first time, vomiting.

BUT, I'm about 80% pain free and to me, that's a win. I'll take the side effects (maybe not so much the vomiting), especially the decreased appetite LOL

I have tried Dilauded, Naproxin, Percocet and a couple others that I can't remember the names"


"I used to shake, get nauseous, dry mouthed, and blush terribly when I had to give presentations. This medication got me through college. Eventually, I didn't need them anymore for presentations. Still take one before an interview though! Doesn't cure nervousness, but removes the symptoms! Love it!"


"I had never taken an antidepressant before. I was recently diagnosed with gastritis and irritable bowel syndrome and have been dealing with many emotional issues for quite a long time before these health problems. The constant nausea from the condition only worsened my mood and outlook on life. I was on Prozac 10mg for exactly a month. After 2 weeks I noticed a HUGE difference in my overall mood and outlook on life, it was wonderful! After 3 1/2 weeks my entire body started to itch; palms of my hands, in between fingers, behind ears, feet, legs, arms, you name it, it itched! Finally talked to my doctor and decided to stop Prozac and start Paxil. I hate that I had to switch, and I'm not too excited about it. Hope this time is a charm."


"I am bi/polar and awaken many times around 2 or 3 am with racing thoughts. This makes it impossible for me to go back to sleep and I am exhausted because of it. My Dr. had me try the Sonata and with taking it at these times I can get another 3 to 4 hours of sleep and  awaken feeling very rested. I usually fall back to sleep within 15 minutes after  taking it. Love it on those rough nights."


"To deal with menopausal symptoms: stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia, I tried paxil and prozac. Not a good result: both very heavy duty - you FEEL drugged. With prozac I was drooling and I didn't even know it; with paxil,  I felt dull-witted and thick, like a beached whale.

But the  3rd time was a charm: I tried Celexa and it worked almost immediately. I felt calmer, not depressed and I slept like a baby. For me it's the best. the only side effect is one 1/2 hour after taking it I feel nauseous for a few minutes. small price to pay."


"I have used this product sporadically for the past 8 years and have always achieved outstanding results. Upon application there is a slight burning sensation but then immediate relief from the burning and itching sensations. The foam can be somewhat messy and fill the syringe SLOWLY with small bursts until it expands to the fill line. I have overflowed the syringe when first starting to use this product when not experienced with regulating the "bursts". I use this in conjunction with Hydrocortisone Cream 2.5% and my condition decreases within 3 days on average. Although we have had a very humid, hot summer and dietary changes has caused an extreme outbreak this year and it is taking longer than usual to cure."


"Very effective medicine. I got 4 wisdom teeth extracted and was prescribed it. Took a while before it kicked in but when it did my pain was completely gone. Lasted about 3 or 4 hours. I didn't experience many side effects, other than slight constipation and a small sense of dizziness. I slept perfectly fine while on it. "


"Xanax is one of the best medicines ever made to help depression and anxiety. They shouldn't be so hard to get prescribed though. They are a wonderful medicine that makes you happy even when you have major problems. If everyone took Xanax it would be the happiest country in the world."


"This pill has been pretty close to perfect. No weight gain, no depression, and my periods are much lighter and shorter. During the first few months my acne got really bad and I almost got off the pill, but then it went away around month 3 and my skin is pretty clear. I think this was just a bodily reaction to the change in hormones. The only negative is that this pill does make me drowsier than I used to be but I can manage. And plus I'm not pregnant, so I guess it's doing its job pretty well."


"I'm on the fence about this medication, I used it for generalized anxiety disorder which was exacerbated after my mother passed away unexpectedly.
Well I have to say, I was shaky like I was just as anxious, so I though it was the anxiety, so I stopped the medication after 6 months and I am not shaky anymore, I also feel like everything is clearer.
I was on a very light dose 2.5mg three times a day.  Maybe I did not take enough.
So he gave me Lexapro, which I have not started, I am holding out, when I get anxious I take a half of a .25 xanax and it keeps the anxiety away.
So if I was to say I don't think this medication helped very much.  Maybe at a higher dose, I don't know.  I am skeptical about taking anything like this."


"I'm on my 4 day of 7. The taste is awful and being that I can't swallow pills the taste lingers but i have yogurt to help me with the after taste. I haven't had any severe side effects just a little skin rash. My symptoms cleared up at about day 2 which was a relief. I couldn't resist having ONE glass of wine and so I did. No side effects from the alcohol and this is day 4. Hopefully I didn't jinx myself. Hopefully, i wont have to take this medication anytime in the near future because 7 days on this medication is a bit much for me"


"From the moment I started taking Imitrex in 1996 it has worked wonderfully for me with probably only two or three occasions over the years  where a headache has persistent . It is been my wonder drug. I do get  very frequent migraines and take as little of it is possible but  I will normally take 10 to 12 50mg tablets per month with few if any side effects."


"It has worked miracles in the past 8 yrs. I have had no side effects from it when used with Arava. Doctor has me now taking methotrexate and my body rejected the IV first time with the new medicines."


"I used to take Paxil and I hated the side effects, and the withdrawal effects, like brain zaps.  Because of this, I don't want to try another SSRI. So my doctor had me try Buspar.  I was hopeful at first. I knew it affected serotonin, but without the withdrawal effects.

Well.  The first 5 mg dose I took brought on a gigantic round on brain zaps for 1.5 hours, the same kind that I'd had in Paxil withdrawal, but much worse. It was so bad that I could barely walk.  Every time I moved my head or neck, I'd get a bunch of zaps in a row.  Very disorienting.  I gave it a week and a half to see if the zaps would dissipate, and they didn't.  My doctor said to stop the Buspar because if the zaps haven't stopped by now, they probably won't."


"I couldn't believe how quickly Clarithromycin worked. After two days, of two a day, I felt better than I had in weeks. There are side effects though, such as the dreadful taste that appears to last the entire time you are taking the medication."


"I used the Monistat 3day for the first time in about 20 years. The product has definitely changed. It felt like I inserted acid inside my vagina(after just 2 minutes). Thank God for my handheld shower. I was able to shoot the warm water directly up to clear it. I was then able to sleep. In the morning after sleeping 6 hours I went to urinate and I felt something coming out of me. I looked in the he toilet and low & behold it's lots of the Monistat cream! Hey that's some powerful stuff, I thought I rinsed it all out in the shower...lol.  A friend of mine tried an off brand at CVS drug store a few months ago and had NO PROBLEM.I originally gained this yeast infection after taking Amoxicilin prescribed by my dentist."


"Used the 3 day monistat per recommendation of my obgyn nurse and holy moly this burns like no other. I jumped in the bath and literally scraped as much out as possible...that helped but I am still more uncomfortable than before. I put coconut oil in and around and that has drastically helped the burning and itching. Hope this helps. DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT!"


"Took this about three days into a pretty bad cold to relieve congestion especially in my sinuses...worked a charm! Took the adult dose around noon that day. didn't have the same jittery side effects some are reporting and was, thankfully, able to take a nap that afternoon with the sinus relief it provided. my mom on the other hand says she can't take it after noon or else she won't sleep all night, so I understand your pain! All in all, worked great for me but understand that some people (for whatever reason) might have trouble sleeping if taken too late in the day"


"Ok so I got Flexeril 10mg prescribed from an ER np, after going through ultra sounds etc. for what I feared was a DVT. Things came back nornal, so she gave me this.

I took one the next night, and about 30 minutes later, started nodding off...but this wasn't your normal dosing off. Everytime I would feel myself dosing, I'd start hearing voices. These sleepyness/auditory hallucinations were the first effects.
I didn't even notice if the pains were still there because I was constantly fighting to stay awake because the auditory hallucinations started to really scare me.

Probably about an hour or so later, I completely knocked out (around 11:30) and didn't wake up until 1 pm the next day. Won't take this ever again
"


"Today marks a week since i started on Saxenda. I am morbidly obese for my height. I weigh 96.4kg and am only 152cm tall. Having 5 kids and depression has got me to where i am today. I struggled figuring out the whole needle thing at first and 2 shots i have wasted into mid air "


"Have to agree with many others who have already commented.  This medication saved my life. It is important to realize you have to really want to quit using for it to be successful.  I had to make meetings a regular part of my life and leave all those behind who continue to abuse drugs.  It was really difficult but a lot easier than the last couple of times I'd tried without Suboxone. When I started Suboxone I'd spent 4 months without using but in complete misery. I was in a perpetual state of opiate withdrawal. I couldn't experience feelings anymore, or sleep. My body couldn't even regulate its temperature anymore.  After induction I felt normal for the first time in many, many years. No more withdrawals or suicidal depression."


"As far as bowel prep goes, I'd say this was a fairly pleasant experience. The medicine itself tastes like water and slightly salty grape koolaid. Not the most pleasant, but it was absolutely doable. Results began about 15 min after my first dose. Slight nausea immediately following the completion of each dose but it dissipated very quickly. Aside from that and a bit of a bloated feeling in my abdomen, I have no complaints! Mind over matter people, you can do it!!"


"I am wife of man who just completed Provenge series.  Can't really rate this as effects not yet known, so rated it average - for now.
He has felt flu-like (fatigue, muscle aches, joint pains)  for longer than the one or 2 days noted in the literature on Provenge.
His PSA has increased quite a bit in the weeks following the beginning of the Provenge.  Not clear why this is.  Could be the course of the disease, or could be the effects of prostate cells being killed and fragmented, which would be a positive thing."


"I can't believe I suffered so long before I went to the doctor and he prescribed Ventolin to me. It has made my breathing so much easier. The only negatives at all is sometimes I'm dizzy for a while after using it, but that's to be expected."


"Tried this for the first time last night and the results were amazing. I have tried Viagra and have not had the results like I did taking Levitra. I have had issues with not being able to get an erection and when I do it didn't last long enough to satisfy my wife. Long story short our sex life was almost nil. I went to Dr, he told me to try Viagra, it worked first couple of times but it gave me bad case of heartburn so he suggested Levitra and all I can say is wow, my wife said its the best sex we have had in years so think this may be the answer to our problems and having GOOD sex. Hope this helps someone as it sure is good for me. Oh did I mention I am over 60 and have a new outlook on life."


"Rheumatologist put me on Cymbalta for fibromyalgia.  I started on the medication, 20 mg, I think.  I worked at a bank at the time and 1 week into taking it I was having anxiety attacks at work.  I had anxiety before this but not in social situations like this.  I stayed on it for another week or so but took myself off.  She also put me on amitriptine  for muscle relaxation at night.  First it knocked me the heck out, then within 2 wks I would wake up with bad cramps in my legs and such tension/contraction in all my muscles that I couldn't sleep. Weaned myself off of that too. Told Dr what happened, she said it wasn't the medicine causing the symptoms.  Right..  10 months later still have anxiety, voice is shaky, not working."


"I have been on Contrave for 3 weeks. I haven't been feeling hungry but I am very tired and painfully constipated. I plan to drop down to 2 pills to see if it makes a difference. I do like that this med has you taking a pill at night which seems to help with my binge eating rather than taking a med only in the am,"


"3/19/14 Went to the Dr and asked about starting Adipex. I was extremely unhappy with myself, I stepped on a scale a few days before this and realized I weighed 250 I have never been this big I am 5'10". I started taking the medicine and walking every day at least a mile then walking has led to jogging and crunches. I still have my Sweet tooth but not like before with the medicine and willpower on 4/11/2014, I weighed in at 232. I didn't even realize I have lost that much my goal was to lose 30 lb by July 4 and I believe I will well exceed my goal!"


"Been on Effexor 150 mg now for 4 weeks having good and bad days. Still hoping this medicine is going to work for me & my generalized anxiety disorder. I do know it can take up to 3 months to fully work."


"I am 52 and I had sleep problems from approximately age 33 until age 45 when I started taking Ambien. Somewhere in there I almost got fired for falling asleep at work several times so I asked my doctor for help and he prescribed Ambien and I couldn't feel happier about it. Most nights I take 5 mg and I sleep well.  Some nights I have to take 10 mg. I have occasional Ambien amnesia but other than that I have had no side affects.  My doctor keeps telling me I need to quit taking it but since he takes it too he keeps writing me scripts. Make sure you don't drink alcohol or take other medicines at the same time and you should be fine. My mom and dad had sleep problems so I know it is hereditary. I love this medicine."


"I had Mirena placed in July of 09. It was very painful. I had cramping and bleeding for a month, which I was told was normal.  The bleeding eventually stopped and now I have what I guess you could call a period.  Brownish discharge with clots. I've been told it's old blood. I've had cramping off and on and usually a dull pain on my right side. I recently started having a burning irritation at the opening of my vagina. I went to the doctor because I thought it was a urinary tract infection.  I was told it was yeast infection. I took a 3 days of Diflucan. Was treated again for 5 days. Was told everything is fine now. Still having burning. I think it's the Mirena."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Do not be freaked out by the other reviews (like I was.) The prep is drinkable, I sliced lemons and sucked on them after each drink-that worked beautifully.  Mild cramping as it worked, but it worked quickly.  Prep H kept stinging in check.  Don't let these reviews deter you, it's way easier than a stomach bug."


"Took it three different times and each time I woke many times through out the night. Felt very light headed the next day and a bit more agitated...no thanks"


"I took 10 mg for 10 days and then 20 mg per day. It was working well only few side effects in the first 10 days , like being tired and dizzy. I am able to sleep well and my heart is not giving me hard time with palpitations or chest pain. I found that after I take the medication in the morning , it is better to sleep or to lay down. At night it is easy to go to sleep. Sunlight is a good addition to the medication to help me to get better ( vitamin D).  I found that drinking a lot of water and walking are helping me too. The medication started to help me from the first day.  Good luck!"


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


"First a quick rundown, I'm a 44yr old white male with a whole slew of physical problems. Here's the short list of things hat's been keeping me awake days at a time.  I have CRPS (2012) ,Degenerative Disk Disease C4 -C7 moderate to severe(2001 since 1.5" shorter). I suffered a T.B.I.( Subdural Laceration .60") in 2012. Both rotator cuffs that have been torn several times each both of them have SLAP tears and tendonitis ,arthritis in various places. 8 weeks ago I tore my left R.C. for the 3rd or 4th time this time it came with the SLAP tear too. I've had issues with not being able to sleep because of pain for the past 5 years, starting shortly after CRPS reared it's ugly little head. If you aren't familiar with it just imagine all ten of your toes are broken both feet being beat with a hammer repeatedly accompanied by a little fella with a flamethrower that follows you everywhere you go. This is a 24/7-365,  It made me reconsider my position on voodoo dolls because at times I feel as if I'm being stabbed with an ice pick every 10-15 seconds then after 5-20 pokes it moves to a different joint. Imaginary time over now, on the McGill pain scale it's the highest rated pain 48/50 childbirth is a 36,cancer 32 many others listed too. The only difference is those pains go away or have treatment options. Recently the surgeon general changed the approved therapy from opioid pain medications to No  Approved Therapies simply because nothing works for more than a couple of months then your body gets use to the nerve blockers and any and all types and dosages of pain meds. Some choose to have thier feet amputated knowing there may still be phantom pain but that's much lower on the pain scale. Okay now that you know why I'm not sleeping well or at all here is my experience with this RX.
8 days prior to going to see my Doctor I went to my 1st P.T. session( hurt too much B4 then). During the 2hrs there she pulled and tugged on everything that hurts trying to figure out the range of motion and all that. This was 2 Mondays ago from that day until the following Monday I had slept a total of 9.5 hours going a minimum of 48 hrs between 1.5-2.5 hr naps before the pain would wake me the same as if someone had dumped a bucket of bricks on my head. After a week of this I saw my Dr for my monthly visit and explained everything including how I tried shifting my medications around ,changing the times taken and completely stopping 1 of them for 3 days and another for 2 days with no effect what so ever. He gave me a few choices of medication to try and I choose this one because I've never seen a commercial for it on TV. I refuse to take anything that's advertised on TV. The side effects are usually a more severe of what ever you needed to take it for plus another 20 possible side effects, not 4 me No. I didn't get home until after 1pm so I planned to take it the next time I felt like I was completely drained and might be able to sleep I would take the RX then as it was the best shot for it to work. That ended up being 10am the next morning,Tuesday.  I took 1-25mg pill 15 minutes before I laid down and I don't remember my head hitting the pillow. In the past 15 years that has happened maybe 5-8 times. I woke up twice to use the bathroom and take my other meds for pain, less than 5 minutes after getting up to pee I was asleep again. I woke up 5:30 am Wednesday morning and felt more human than I have in the past 5 years. The pain was tolerable enough that I laid there for a couple of more hours. The best sleep I can remember. Since then my shoulder is feeling a little better so it's not making my normally terrible situation worse and since I've learned to deal with it as best as one can I'm getting back to sleeping 3.5 to 4.5 hours every night. I've only needed to take 1/2 of one since the first. My situation is very unique but if spilling my guts about things I hate to talk about helps someone else get the sleep they need then it was worth it."


"This medication is the only one that curtailed the pain of shingles.  I was taking 2 pills, twice a day, and 3 at night.  If you get shingles be sure to ask your Dr what the safest amount is you can take.  At first I was told to take one like, 3 times a day.  I kept going back and telling my dr that my pain was still severe.  It was a long process and a lot of undue pain.  In the very beginning,  gabapentin wasn't even prescribed, and I ended up in the emergency room due to excruciating pain.  The ER dr prescribed it....finally.  My pain was never really managed.  It's been 7 weeks and I feel like I might be able to lessen the dose soon.  Shingles is an awful disease."


"I have been using Flomax for two years. It keeps me going but I still get up at least three times a night. Flow is not normal, light streem. My PSA is under 2.0 and always has been. I'm tired, sore and not getting any better. Have not had sex for a long time. I'm going to try a new drug."


"I tried the Oxytrol patch and liked the effect on helping my overactive bladder, but it irritated my skin and caused such itching I couldn't continue it. I tried placing the patch in a variety of places to no avail. I see on this site that it seems to be a common occurrence. "


"My cycle have been on for over 3 months so I went to the doctor. She prescribed provera. The first day after starting the medication I cramped (I'm not a cramper). The cramps stopped but the bleeding never did.   About two weeks on the pill, I started bleeding really heavy and passing too many clots then I came research. I wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone."


"This medication has turned my life completely around in about a months time. First week just felt weird and confused. Had bad diarrhea... Week two confused and not sure if I wanted to keep taking in. By week three something started to really change. Had side effects still but they were decreasing. Started feeling WAY calmer and rational, my children spend more time around me instead of hiding from me and I am cleaning and organizing things around my home that have been sitting around for six months or more. I am becoming a functional person again now for the first time in a REALLY long time. My advice, please stick with it if you can for a minimum of four to six weeks. It might just turn out to be the best thing you ever did."


"I suffer from Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgia.  My Pain Dr. recommended this when I became Opioid Tolerant. This drug works fantastic and fast for pain.  Please be aware though within 6 months my Dr. had to increase dosage several times for same affect, and higher doses caused "narcolepsy attacks" and severe panic/anxiety attacks.  I ultimately decided the pain control was not worth the side affects.  Getting off of it was a nightmare, withdrawal from hell, ended up needing assistance to get off of Subsys.  For a terminal patient I would recommend this medicine, for someone trying to function a normal life please think twice and tread carefully."


"I'm a slim 25 year old and without hormonal birth control I have an irregular cycle sometimes going 4 months without a period with very long build ups with bloating, hormonal moods and pain on the weeks before it started.

I have been using it for 7 months now and I don't think I would use any other form of birth control over this.

At first I experienced some cramping into the third week of the cycle for the first 3 months. I noticed my mood is a lot more evened out over my cycle. I also experience little to none of that build up with bloating before my period starts with a now regulated period.

Very convenient to use.

Another point to note, which is a positive for me is that I have managed to gain some healthy weight since using it."


"I have a back injury of my L1 through to L5 vertebrate. Compressed and causing my discs to protrude and press on my spinal cord also have degenerating discs and spinal stenosis. I'm only 38 but had injury when I was 4, car accident at 25. These made a World of difference. I'm prescribed to take 6 a day but only take 3-4. I can take one and in 45min to 1hour I can bend over to stretch and feel my spine which would feel stiff and locked up separate. It doesn't take the pain away completely due to the extent of my injury but definitely kills that UNGODLY and nagging pain and gives me mobility."


"I have been using Finacea gel for the last 6 weeks and have seen amazing results. I had been recently diagnosed with a medium case of Rosacea but to me It felt like it was a serious case. Both cheeks and forehead were effected. My forehead and cheeks were at times very red and I became very aware of it.I use it twice a day and have also been given a course of Erythromycin tablets and I also use Zerobase moisturising cream.By using all of the mentioned items I have seen an incredible difference in my face and on occasions my face bears no redness as it used to .

I saw some difference in about 10 days by using Finacea gel, and I cannot recommend it enough."


"I have had Fibromyalgia for 4 years now and recently my doctor put me on Lyrica and Cymbalta. The Lyrica is a true lifesaver, it really helps with the pain. But has a lot of side effects.
Cons-Feeling like a zombie, shakes, sick at my stomach, itching and blurry eyes, drowsiness.
Pros-My pain is almost all gone, happy mood, and can move free with barely any pain. And I feel like I'm on cloud nine and can't wait to go to sleep. Overall, the Lyrica has really helped me a lot. I have tried the generic gabapentin and Savella. They do not work!  I'm so happy that I found this website, for all the people whom have aches and pains as well as I. Thank you."


"I have had anxiety attacks and depression on and off my whole life and when I started this medicine it was like a 180 on my mood issues. Sounds funny but it made the whole world beautiful for me again. I have been on it for about 6 months now and ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MEDICIAN, however I have had sleeping troubles here lately and am experiencing vivid dreaming to the point that when I awake I am disoriented and my sluggish/somber mood is creeping back in. I have good and bad days- I'm thinking that it is from lack of sleep because of the constant dreaming, so I am now taking Xanax at night and it has helped that problem a lot."


"After fourth injections started light headed, nausea, feel like diarrhea constant, ear drainage, white stuff in eyes, very tired, sleeping ten to fourteen hours a day. Doctor will not call me back. Don't know what to do!!!!!"


"Awful experience.  First 2 days were perfect and then the rebound flushing began. I never have flushed that bad before. It was dark red/purple, painful and swollen. I should have stopped then but I kept thinking my skin would adjust. Didn't want to give up on it but finally quit using after 3 weeks. Took a week for the rebound flushing to quit after discontinuing use. I went back to my baseline redness everywhere but my forehead. It is redder than when I began treatment."


"I had an abscess that had been draining for about 6-days without end and finally went to the ER and had it lanced and packed.  The ER doctor prescribed Bactrim DS.  After two days I become dizzy and nauseous and pretty much bed ridden. Based on the reviews here and other sites I have discontinued using the drug. (10-day dosage)

The abscess has stopped draining seems to be doing okay after taking the meds for 5-days.  Also the ER doctor failed to notice that my HBP med conflicts with this med.  (Lisinopril) Next time I will do more research.  Normally, I do but I felt so miserable, I assumed they knew better."


"I would like to say that Adderrall really works, it helps me concentrate, and get things done, My mind doesnt race, and I am able to focus. I do experience the dry mouth, and the loss of appetite.  And I was experiencing a lot of headaches when I first started taking it, and it would be migraines starting from my temple to the pressure in my eye.  I did a self experiment before I completely stopped taking the medicine and began to drink TWO GLASSES of water. 1 before my pill then wait 10 mins and drink another glass of water with the pill.. And through out the day I kept drinking water... And I have no more headaches... Drink water!!!! ALL DAY!"


"Belviq has been a blessing. First day was a little rough with dry mouth. After that it has helped my weight loss. No speedy feeling. I have lost 18 to date in just 7 weeks. I have total of 80 to lose. Belviq is a life saver. No cravings but a feeling full. Yes I would recommend it to anyone struggling with weight. Sure I am watching my intake can't expect it to do miracles you have to change too."


"I've been on Sprintec for three years now and have had a roller coaster of experiences with it. Sometimes it makes me so sick I swear I'm going to get off of it and take something else. And then at other times I don't even notice it. I would say my most common side effects are sudden onset nausea and headaches. Every so often I also experience some hot/cold flashes with it."


"My dermatologist had me trying all sorts of different meds & after I told my regular doc, she put me on Minocycline... worked like a charm! I couldn't believe the big difference! I'm so happy with it! I'm 27 & I wish my dermatologist would have put me on it when I started going to him when I was 16!"


"I only lasted on Yasmin for 2.5 weeks. I'm a 29 year old mommy of 1, and haven't taken birth control in about two years. Without any birth control, my periods were very regular and my acne was moderate. I'm a fitness lover, so I'm very strict with exercise and nutrition and I keep my weight in check at all times. My OB prescribed Yasmin to treat my ovulation and menstrual cramping and moderate PMS. This pill turned me into someone else entirely. Within the first two weeks, I had acne all over my chin and under my nose. I became extremely moody, weepy, depressed, anxious, paranoid and jealous. The anxiety made my chest tight and it was hard to take deep breaths at times. I kept telling my husband when we would go out in public that I felt like I was walking in some sort of "dream world" --I wasn't really there.  ...And the weight gain! I spend 5-6 days in the gym every week and eat very healthy--only splurging on small cheat meals on the weekends. In one week, I gained 4 pounds without changing anything, and my stomach stayed hard and bloated looking-it looked like I was pregnant! On top of all of that, my breasts were sore and I had breakthrough bleeding starting on week 2. I'll take cramping and PMS any day over the side effects associated with this pill."


"I love Elocon. I'm 28 years old and have been through tubes and tubes of cortisone creams, Benadryl ointments, oatmeal cures and the like. Elocon has been the only cream that works for my eczema. I get terrible rashes that flare up inside of my arms, legs, neck and belly. They come seasonally and when I'm most stressed. I use Elocon after I realize I'm scratching uncontrollably and within a couple of days, the scratching ends and the swelling subsides. My eczema flares and bleeds on the same day so when I apply Elocon for the first day it burns for a few seconds as I'm rubbing it into my wounds. The following day, my rashes have healed and never look as painful as the first day. *Only use 14 days on and 14 days off if you need it like I do!"


"As a 42 year old female, I have had seizures my entire life. I have taken 14 anti-convulsants at one point or another in an attempt to control my complex-partial seizures, but Keppra is the WORST medication I have EVER taken. The side effects are horrible. Although it's the only medication that has been able to stop my seizures, the side effects are so terrible that it's not worth taking it. I couldn't string together a coherent thought, had short term memory loss, had awful mood swings, and suddenly hated life. Everything was difficult, I couldn't think straight, and felt emotionally raw all the time. I could barely keep it together while on this medication. Every day of life was AWFUL while on this medication. I will NEVER take it again."


"Taltz caused severe swelling the size of hockey pucks that lasted an entire week at injection sites for the initial two injections (mid thigh). Thought is was just my body adjusting to the new medication but upon week #2 injection, an even worse reaction! Same "hockey puck" under my skin  as week #1 & spread to 8" hardened "pancake" under the skin with redness, severe swelling, itching (for a week and counting).  It is painful and radiating heat, an under the skin "hive". My doctor believes I may be reacting to a certain protein often used in injections. I was on Stelara=no improvement, tried Humira and had some improvement but problems getting product shipped at proper refrigerated temps and flimsy injections needing to be replaced."


"The NuvaRing at first was odd for me bc iIwas scared it was going to fall out, but if it is pushed inside it should stay in place and still work. I'm very active and I've had no problems with this. At first I did have some light bleeding and more recently I've have light brown discharge, but I've read that this is completely normal and that the nuvaring is still working. I have experienced some bloating and headaches easily but it's usually around a certain time of the month. my sex drive seems fine, it might have gone away for a few weeks but that could have also been due to stress. (FYI my doctor told me to keep it in for 4 weeks, bc I am using it for birth control and not to regulate my periods)"


"I've used this product for a very long time and I've noticed that if I don't end up popping the pimple, it becomes a very impacted whitehead. The product doesn't diminish the pimple, but changes it. This is just my personal experience."


"I've had nexplanon since October, about 4 months. I love it! The insertion was super easy, the shot to numb my arm was the worst part. I had moderate brusing but nothing super noticable and no soreness afterwards.
I have not gotten pregnant on nexplanon which is the main goal of getting it. I also haven't had a period since I've had nexplanon inserted. No spotting, no bleeding, nothing.
I've heard of long term bleeding while on nexplanon, however my gynecologist said usually that can be cleared up with a side of the birth control pill."


"I have been constipated for 20 YEARS due to a brain injury/nerve damage. Bottom line is I don't have a bowel movement without "help" EVER. I've usually go around 2-3 weeks without having one. Anyway this stuff is a lifesaver. I've tried everything. It's reliable and it doesn't hurt like other laxatives do. There can be slight cramping but that's to be expected when you haven't pooped in 20 days. Anyway I take it on an empty stomach, followed by a large glass of water (or three). The more water you drink the more violent it will be but I don't care as long as I feel better. I take it during the day, not before bed. This way there are no accidents and it works much faster (in the time it takes to start 'going' AND the time it lasts)"


"I'm taking it for 5 weeks now. Maybe makes me feel better. I'm not sure if it's from Remeron or Acupuncture therapy and homeopathic drugs that I'm on or a combination of both.
The only side effect that bothers me is that I can't easily get out of the bed in the morning. I'm waking up but I do not want to get out of bed...Very strange thing?"


"By the time I had the colonoscopy that confirmed ulcerative colitis, I had lost 35 pounds I could ill afford. Skin and bones, I was called. In addition to my ulcerative colitis medicine, my Gastro doc put me on 20 mgs of prednisone for its side effect of revving the appetite. It did that with a vengeance. By the time I was weaned off it, I had regained 30 pounds."


"I started Genvoya over a week ago. After the 1st night I realized I most likely didn't hit REM sleep. I asked my doctor about it and he said that if taken right before bed, it can cause sleep issues for the first couple months or so. He told me to take it earlier mid afternoon instead. That way my body has time to metabolize the drug before I sleep. I have been sleeping great since. The biggest side effect is the bloated feeling. It does make you very gassy, constipated and makes your natural gag reflex very sensitive. I have vomited 3 times since being on the medication just from coughing or laughing. The doctor said these effects are normal and should go away as my body gets used to the drug. I used CareAssist to pay for Genvoya."


"This medicine helped my nausea, but made me to tired to function properly. It would be great if you have nausea at night time."


"Worst experience ever. Do not use. Putting the cream on it hurt way worse than my actual pain before! Thought I was crazy then went on this site! Currently screaming and kicking like a child. If it doesn't end soon I'm washing it out and going to bed :'/"


"I wish I would have read these reviews before I started taking topamax instead of wandering around like a clueless zombie wondering what the hell was wrong with me. As of now I have no solution to my chronic migraines but what else is new, this is the story of my life. Topamax surly isn't the solution. I have no clue if topamax would have worked if taken longer but the side effects are not worth it. Even their website says they are unclear as to how it works. Wtf. I basically felt like I was moving around with no destination.. I couldn't focus, I felt lost, I kept doing things on repeat. I can't live like that. My driving was off. My sight was blury. The pins and needles feeling's in my hands and feet was just awkward and inconvenient."


"This medicine works amazing for intrusive thoughts and irritability. I feel NORMAL. The weight gain in the only downfall. I use this in addition to my Zoloft and its the perfect combination."


"2 yrs ago my oldest daughter was murdered and then this year I went through a divorce. My youngest daughter lost her job and moved in. I'm on disability and mounting stress was huge. I also am also in chronic pain due to degenerative disc disease. Finely I went to my Dr and said I give in.  She put me on 10 mg of this med and first 2 wks I slept all the time but now I'm noticing a change and feel a little more level. Anxiety is still here but not as bad.. I do suffer headaches and sleep long and hard and have a huge increased appetite ugh.... But overall I'm feeling better and more positive .  Glad I gave it a chance."


"I am 50 and it was my first consumption. It's effect was mind-boggling."


"I've been on zoloft for almost four weeks now and it's been a life changer I use to suffer from poor impulse control anxiety and bad depression about two weeks in I started feeling better happier like.the feeling of dread has been removed the demon's are silenced I feel like I want to live I want to succeed it's like a dream come true ive suffered from drug addiction in the past and since started zoloft I don't feel the craving that overwhelming desire to get high the only downside to zoloft. Is the restlessness when.trying to sleep but it's worth the trade off I started on 50 MG and am now at 100mg per day thank god for zoloft"


"started 2 weeks ago with this dexilant, ever since then my symtoms got worse, dizzy, stomach and lower back pain, hard to swallow food, passing gas and burping  a lot more.    Would not recommend this drug to my enemy. If I knew what this drug did for me that made it worse I would of not taken it. Worst drug on the market,  and they want $300.00for a month for this pill, NO WAY. Not me. No wonder why my insurance would not cover it.  Believe me if you are taking it and feel more sick then you did, STOP TAKING IT. With a few days when the drug gets out of your system you will feel better and you will not have to see dr or keep going to hospital and they find nothing wrong with you."


"Overall I feel the DEPO is excellent! About 11 years ago I started bleeding heavily and had an 18 week long period. I became anemic so they suggested the DEPO. Oh my gosh, it was awesome. I always had a week long period every 3 months right before I was due for the shot. I am 54 and thought I was getting menopause so I took myself off the shot. After tests saying I wasnt menopausal, I went back on the shot. One shot and I've had 6 periods already with cramps like never before, Time for a hysterectomy I think."


"Oh, if there was an 11, I would give Vyvanse this rating, if it was not for one side effect. But I am not 100% sure it is the Vyvanse.  I have been having pretty bad chest pains since I started on Vyvanse a couple of months ago. I even went to the ER for an asthma attack.  The trouble is, for the last few years (pre-ADHD diagnosis and any meds) I have been slowly growing into adult onset asthma. So it's tough even for the doctors to tell if it's from the asthma or the Vyvanse! The ER doc said no, Vyvanse shouldn't cause chest pains, so did my psychiatrist (who I trust and really respect). Long story short--I LOVE VYVANSE!! Has given me my life whole new meaning. I am the best version of myself.  My whole entire extended family notices!"


"I felt it working in a couple of days and I felt great! The depression lifted and I felt so much more energy, no more crying and actually wanted to do things! There is depression that runs in my family and I also feel like it happens more seasonally in the winter. However, after a week of taking it, I developed an allergic reaction and broke out in hives on my legs. This is the first allergy I've ever had!  Had to stop taking it due to the reaction and now I've been put on Pristiq...we will see how things go."


"As a sufferer of many sinus and ear infections, I knew with this 90 degree heat in ACs with poor air quality that I was going to get sick. Got sick last Wednesday with sinus issues, got worse so went to primary. Dr said didn't think I had a sinus or ear infection so told me to continue on netty pots and Sudafed 24. She did give me a prescription if I wasn't feeling better by Monday (today). After a weekend still feeling miserable, got prescription. Usually I get amoxicillin, and when looked at the script, it had amoxicillin clav so I didn't think anything of it. I pick up the script. Take pill on way to work. Sick within an hour. Googled and found was given generic of Augmentin. Never again! Threw up for an hour straight - not worth it!"


"I've had nexplanon for about 6 weeks now. The second week I started to spot and have been every day since then. It's very light not enough for a pad or tampon, but is still annoying. I've still been able to be active with my partner and no worries of a baby. I have also lost two pounds every week since I had it placed, but I'm still at a healthy weight so I'm not complaining. If the light spotting would stop it would be my dream birth control. Overall I would recommend it."


"Hello:

I have been using the Inova Pads (BP 4%/Salicylic 2%) for one month. I highly recommend the pads. In conjunction with the Inova Pads, I am also using the Obagi cleanser (Clenziderm wash) and Retin A Micro .004%. The pads are not only great for delvering acne medication, but the pad's fabric gives you effective and gentle exfoliation. You can see the dead skin on the pads!!! You will be amazed. The excellent exfoliation better aides the Retin-A to be delivered deeper and mroe effetcively. It is a wonderful product. There are some possible, yet very mild side effects. One side effect is that there will be quite a bit of redness. Therefore, there have been times when I have skipped the salicylic morning treatment."


"I had my implanon implanted in August of 2009 and my sister had hers put in in June of 2009. We have both loved it. I have had none of the side effects such as depression or mood swings. The only bad thing is tenderness of my breasts and slight heartburn. My sex drive is still the same (awesome). I only have a period every few months and no pregnancy for either of us. We both plan very much on keeping it for the full 3 years."


"I felt much, much better after taking Avelox for 5 days, I did not notice any side effects with it.  Three days after I stoped taking it, my symptoms came back and I think my doctor should've had me take it for 10 days, not 5 like she did."


"First time ever having an STI, short story short thought me and the guy where exclusive ahh how wrong was I! Anyways I went to my GP today after he told me he tested positive, took Azithromycin two tablets at once at about 5 o'clock and an hour later my stomach made me feel like I'm gunna hurl but I'm trying my best to not throw up because I am not going through this again.. 7/10 for me at the end of the day it gets rid of this horrible bacteria living in my vaj, just take it while you're at home because I feel like the devil is trying to dance in my stomach.

Good luck guys, I'm gunna go lie down and abstain from sex til I'm 30."


"I was prescribed Invokana for high glucose (Prediabetes), not diabetic yet.  I have been on the medicine a little over a month.  I developed a yeast infection and my hair is shedding a lot--handfuls at a time. Dermatologist said it would shed for up to 10 more weeks. What a horrible side effect that is not mentioned anywhere!  I stopped taking the medicine."


"I've had the Implanon for about 6 months now. The insertion hurt a little bit but it was definitely worth it - the next 3 years of worry free birth control. I absolutely LOVE not getting a period anymore and I truly trust this method enough to not need the reassurance of a period. The ONLY things I do not like about Implanon are the mood swings and weight fluctuation (about 5 lbs more or less). People close to me have really noticed a change in my irritability. I wouldn't consider myself a extremely bad by any means, it is tolerable, I just demand a lot more alone time than I used to. I would recommend this birth control to anyone."


"My doctor prescribed the syrup formula to treat my occasional insomnia (1 Tablespoon in a large glass of water). It puts me into a deep sleep in approximately 15 minutes. It is less habit forming than other sleeping medications and I love the fact that it doesn't leave me drowsy in the morning. I have noticed that it does make normal weight loss difficult (despite regular daily exercise and healthy eating), but so far it has not caused weight gain like some sleeping medications tend to do. "


"I've had my implant since October 2013 and it's almost time for it to come out. since I got it, my periods have been so irregular and unpredictable. Actually getting to wait a month between periods has been a luxury I took for granted...I will bleed for a whole week and a half be off for a few days and start again for another week or so and then be off for a couple weeks. It's ridiculous. I can not wait to get it out. BUT it does serve VERY well as a birth control. I just wonder if I'll have a uterus left to ever have babies again after this. "


"%u0130 have lived with this problem for more then 2 years, nothing worked except Lamisil. Keeping there and using regularly will get the result. My toe is clean and flawless like before. Didn't have any side effects."


"Every day I'm nauseous and headaches. It works great though."


"I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled about a week ago. I was prescribed fifteen 5 milligram Endocets for after surgery. I took about 5 the first day and then 3 the next and 2 the 3rd day and 1 the fourth fay. It helped the pain, but not for very long. I took a nap every time I took a pill. I also found myself to have severe mood swings while on the Endocets. I was happy one minute then felt awful the next. Also, they gave me TERRIBLE constipation. If you're taking them eat a lot of fiber or take a laxative or a two a day to keep everything moving. Although for the short amount of time that they worked, my body felt awesome."


"Applied topically, like a mask, Milk of Magnesia treated my acne after years of heavy stuff not working."


"I took 10 mg for a couple of months and started 20 mg two weeks ago"


"Over the past 8 years I have tried almost every method of birth control. It started after having my baby boy in 09'. I selected to have the Mirena put in after realizing that the pills would be to constant for me. Within 6 months it had implanted into my wall and I had to have surgery to have it removed. (Painful process) over the next 6 years I had gone from using the pill to the shot and having three more children. I recently decided to asked my Doc about getting my tubes tied and he had suggested the Mirena for the second time. I was very apprehensive after he had mentioned it so of course I brought up my issue. I elected to have to it inserted and am now happier than ever. No issues so far and we're past the 6 month mark!"


"The medicine in the patch is incredible. I stand straighter, little to no wearing off in between doses of Sinemet. A little dyskensia, but well worth it. Only 1 complaint, the patch does not stick sometimes. Some of the time I have to use 2 patches, because they literally fall off. I used what UCB suggested, Bandaid tape. Anyone else having a problem with patch sticking?  Or do I stand alone? But I won't give up Neupro patch for nothing."


"I've had the Mirena for 6 months and I have had bad cramps everyday since it was inserted. I have also either bled and had discharge every day to the point I am anemic. I have had trouble getting the doctor's to take it out, so if you are having similar issues, be an aggressive advocate for yourself. My experience is probably not representative. I have had strong side effects from oral birth control pills, including cramps and bleeding frequently. I also have emotional side effects and fatigue."


"Finding proper treatment for my severe IBS was a grueling task. This was the last medication left for my doctor to try with me, and it actually works! While it does tend to constipate me, and the side effects are a pain (dry mouth, constantly dilated eyes, photosensitivity, and decreased sweating), the benefits definitely out-perform the adverse effects. Since starting this medication I've gone from a hopelessly depressed, unemployed walking skeleton to a full time student and manager, and my flare ups have significantly subsided. In the case of a severe episode, a little medical cannabis immediately makes up for the pain and nausea that hyoscyamine can't relieve. Highly recommended."


"I have had pain issues for many years and after many failed surgeries I still have severe pain. I have been on Percocet but a new doctor wanted me to try Exalgo so I did after fighting with my insurance company to help me cover some of the cost I tried it and got no relief at all! Then I had a hard time getting the doctor to switch me back to Percocet.

"Lortab is wonderful for my pain. I was in a really bad car accident. "


"I been on the patch for four years now and for me the first time when I put my patch on when my period stops I do get sick on the Monday but nothing major. I love it I never had a problem with it but only one problem I have is sometimes it will feel like it is coming off two days before I change it but the good side so far that has never happened! It's way easier then taking a pill everyday and for me I can't take pills so the patch was a bonus for me but  I do have really bad cramps on it but I love how  it starts the same time every month and it makes my life a whole lot easier I would totally  recommend  it!"


"I have kidney and liver problems. So far this is the best pain medicine that I have found with the least amount of Tylenol or Ibuprofen.  Xodol has half the Tylenol than Lortab so it is easier on my liver. As far as how well it works, for me, it works very well most of the time as long as I take it before the pain gets too bad. I would recommend it over any of the other pain medicines I have taken."


"Works great I love it."


"Have taken 2.5 mg a day for 20 years without side effects. Weaned off once in 6 weeks. Convinced I suffered anxiety due to hereditary or deep rooted experienced too deep to ever unravel through therapy. Was successful business exec but was always constrained and my personal life didn't exist. Suffered and suffered! Went to an Ivy League school and never spoke to a woman. The dependency is over blown. I weaned off once in 6 weeks.  The drug made my life bearable otherwise I would chose not to be here."


"I recently went on QVAR to help control my moderate asthma. I felt the effects within the first week of use. I used to wheeze and cough with every weather change, laughing, or cheering at hockey games. Since starting, I have only had to use my rescue inhaler once. The only negative is that it is causing my voice to faulter and I have a sore throat sometimes. I will gladly take those small inconveniences for the overall benefits of this medicine."


"I started on provigil for my excessive fatigue, after my GP did virtually every blood test known, looking for a cause.  It seemed to be helping me, for which I was exceedingly grateful but then got bad mouth sores so had to stop.  I was switched to adderall, 10 mg twice a day.  It's like 2 different pills.  The morning gives me energy until about 1 p.m.  The pill at lunch seems most days, to have no effect.  I sit around and read and nap most of the afternoon, and am ready to sleep by 9.  I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine religiously.  Does the drug need to reach a certain level in the blood to be most effective?"


"I experienced several side effects, including vision change, hoarseness, insomnia, terrible dry mouth, headaches (Migraine) to name a few, but my blood pressure did go to normal. I had to try something else."


"I've been taking Sprintec for about 10 months. On the plus side- my face is very clear and my sex drive is normal; I also have very predictable, light and short periods. On the negative side, I experience PMS-like symptoms on the last two weeks of active pills... Bloating, cramps, swelling of breasts; etc. My appetite has increased considerably but I've had no major weight gain. Overall I'm happy with Sprintec, would definitely recommend!"


"I would have to agree that Vyvanse has helped extremely with my Adult ADHD and Social Phobia. It is a lot smoother than Adderall XR and doesn't upset my stomach like Concerta used to do. I also take it with Lexapro for my generalized anxiety disorder and have yet to experience any contraindications."


"Increased urination and loss of bladder control."


"I have been Epiduo for about a month now and I have to say it is the most gentle acne med I have ever been on. I was expecting the horror stories of flaking and dry skin that I have read about and I have had zero irritation since using it. Overall, it seems to work well but I don't think it can tackle my severe nodular cystic acne so I think I will have to go back on Accutane sadly. Please don't let people scare you away from trying this med though, if  I didn't have these huge cysts I would rate this a 10 but as most people know, topical can do little for cystic acne which is not this meds fault. Overall, my skin is super smooth and I would highly suggest this medication."


"I'm 63 years old and suffer from insomnia and pain from bulging and herniated discs and have undergone three discectomy surgeries. I have been taking Ambien for many years and started with the name brand (10mg) while also trying Ambien CR (12.5mg), then Lunesta, and then back to generic Ambien (10mg).  This generic version has been working very well for several years allowing me to get a full night's sleep without any side effects and it usually acts quickly. "


"Inserted the Devils egg. 30 mins go by and my vag is on fire. Intense itch with a buring sensation. The cream felt like it was making it worse. I took it around 8 pm and couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep until 2 am. Now writing this I am missing class because my vulva and vagina itself is raw. It hurts to walk or have any friction. I mean it gets the itch but once you itch you want to itch some more and thus making it worse by having it burn at the same time. I'm totally at a loss right now. I would honestly rather die. Please pray for me."


"Was prescribed the 875 mg tabs every 12 hours for an infected cyst. Right from the 1st dose I experienced stomach upset, severe bloating, and Diarrhea that burned. Within several days I also developed a vaginal yeast infection and severe yeast rashes in both armpits.  I normally have a cast iron stomach and can take normally any medication without meals and have no problems.  The augmentin caused bad side effects even with meals.  Stay away from this drug it is well known to cause stomach problems."


"Guess I'm one of those that can't take Chantix.  The first week only produced mild side effects, but on the ninth day my stool turned black which I found out due to gastro-intestinal hemorrhaging.  Before I was told to stop taking it by my doctor, I also had a balance disorder episode that lasted for several minutes.  I was lucky that I was not driving at the time.  I did find both side effects listed as possible on the Chantix brochure. "


"After 35 years of yo yo diets I have lost 95lbs in one year! I'm so excited about my new look and no more severe back pain, Sincerely Nurse Dee!"


"Everytime I took Frova I ended up with rebound migraines for 2-3 days afterwards.  It simply wasn't worth it for me and I went back to Imitrex, which doesn't cause rebound migraines for me."


"I have had a few breakouts of guetal psoriasis, and this cream is great.  It clears up in about 2-4 days (depending on severity) of applying this cream.  I don't have any itching with my psoriasis, but I do tend to get "dry winter itch", and this greatly reduces the itching for that though."


"Worsened heart problems.
I was on the medication a month and was doing fairly well. However, I suffer from occasional Afib ( usually about 1-2x month) Had it daily while using this drug. My Cardiologist took me off and Afib went back to 1-2 month. I'd be weary if you have any heart problems."


"My allergies are the worst in the morning and this medication directs it be taken at night.  I've tried that several times and it is no help whatsoever.  Just before writing this I had to take Benedryl even though I took this medication last night.  Very disappointed in this product!  The couple of times my allergies kicked up at night and I took it this product did not help at all.

That said everyone is different and I guess if you want to try it and see if it works for you go ahead.  But if your allergies are bad in the morning it will not help at all."


"Wellbutrin works well for the type of depression recently crippling me.  That 'I Don't Want to Get Out of Bed and Face Yet Another Horrible Day -- I Just Want to Give Up' type of depression. Wellbutrin, for me, erases those bad feelings and does so very quickly. Within 4 hours of my first dose my confidence came surging back. The rapidity of action is due to the unique way it works; it isn't the typical antidepressant.

Wellbutrin has side effects, but none harsh enough to stop me from taking it regular. The side effects I experience is (a.) a tense feeling (physically), and (b.) kind of a 'chemical taste' in my mouth. But, there's no blurred vision, no zombie feeling and no terribly dry mouth. The payoff is worth it."


"I have been on this for 6 months. The first 3 months I was bleeding heavily and had very painful cramps (also, I had a cyst on my ovary that had ruptured). I absolutely hated it but my Dr. "assured" me that it will take 3-4 months for my body to get used to the birth control and I took her word for it. My next set was amazing! I didn't bleed until my sugar pills but that leads me off to today. I was supposed to be off Thursday and it's Sunday. I am still bleeding heavy and I definitely do not want to bleed again for 3 months. Terrible experience, read reviews before getting on any birth control!"


"This drug has worked very well! I had a skin infection, with a urinary Tract infection. I was put on the medicine for 10 days, 2 times a day. The first couple of doses, I didn't think that it was really working, but after 4 days of taking the medicine, then bumps started to go away & I could urinate comfortably without any burning. On the 8th day, the bumps have completely dried up and new skin is forming on top. I didn't really experience any bad side effects. The only side effects I had was MINOR diarrhea and fatigue. I would definitely recommend this medicine. My only wish would be that it would do a better job at clearing the bumps more effectively!"


"The only thing that really works."


"28lbs lost in 2.5 months using saxenda (dose between .6-1.2) & following doctor's guidelines for eating.  Didn't exercise during the months. I was losing except for physical therapy 1x a week for back.  I'm at a good weight for me (4'11", 106, age 50) and have been maintaining within 2-4lbs for about 2 mos. now but still using saxenda.  Haven't been super strict with diet but not going crazy either.  Added light weight training and walking on treadmill 5-6 days a week right before Christmas.  If I overeat a day or 2 I go back to watching and the weight comes right back down.  Thankfully husband's insurance covers drug because mine doesn't.  Feel great, cholesterol & blood pressure good again, back is better, and clothes fit."


"I took one 10 mg at the onset of migraine, it did nothing. I took a second 10 mg after an hour and still no relief.
I felt no relief at all, not even slight."


"I took Lexapro for 14 months, on 10mg for 12 and then 5mg for two. The month after I came off it was hell; anxiety returned. I was prescribed it after a severe panic attack where I became severely overwhelmed by life effects and I wasn't responding to talk therapy so it was felt by my doctors that the depression was more clinical and needed a chemical to lift me out of it. Lexapro brought to the fore my issues with alcohol as it mixes really badly with alcohol so it made me finally curb my drinking. Lexapro made me forgetful and unable to remember the word I was looking for mid-sentence or sometimes I'd say weird things which had never happened before. Overall it helped me make the positive changes I needed to get better so it did work."


"I have had constant back pain and hip pain from an accident two years ago. The pain was treated with a variety of narcotic pain medication ranging from Vicodin to Roxycontin. Eventually developing a dependency I managed to overcome. But not being able to take narcotics anymore, I turned to Ryzolt and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. The pain is alomost completely gone. I highly recommend it for people who have had problems with narcotic pain medication."


"Effectiveness, is slow with several applications. Works for short period of time. Afrin works longer and better, without the camphor smell and burn."


"Out of money and out of sources, I was on the verge of losing it all because I could not function without opiates. I found a doctor on the suboxone site and with God on my side the doctor answered the phone himself and agreed to accept my insurance because they usually only accept cash.I dragged myself into his office in full blow withdrawal. He gave me a dose immediately and within minutes my life was mine again. Started at 24mg/day now 2mg/day and almost all done. No cravings ever. Please believe and try this."


"Desiccated thyroid is the only replacement that lets me love a normal, healthy life post-thyroidectomy.  I spent a year on Levothyroxine and was utterly and completely miserable and barely functioning physically and cognitively.  Desiccated thyroid literally gave me my life back.  I took Armour Thyroid for 15 years without issue but they have recently tripled the price, so I switched to Nature-Throid.  It is equally as excellent and I'm very happy with it.  Can't recommend it enough.  I'm in the U.K. Though and we still get ripped off here with regard to all desiccated thyroid drugs as they aren't considered licensed medications, which means I have to pay out of pocket. Worth it though."


"I needed to find a way to review the clindamycin gel because oh my god I am finally free of acne and I feel like I need to tell the whole world. For 9 years I struggled with anything from blackheads to horrible cystic acne. I have very oily skin and my pores get clogged so much. Trust me when I tell you, I have tried EVERYTHING!! I am literally like a walking encycolpedia on skin.
I can't believe all it took was this gel. Why couldn't someone have told me that this was all I needed?!!?? How did I go so long without knowing about this?

1 week after using this and I do not have any acne on my face. It's all gone. I can't stop looking in the mirror and touching my face and crying. Try this gel!! It might change your life like it did for me!"


"I started taking Zarah 2 months ago. Before that I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen (which made me very nauseous so I switched). When I started Zarah I was nauseous all the time. My sense of smell was heightened tenfold to the point where I couldn't even be around my dog or the trash can without feeling sick. I couldn't and still can't eat meat, salad, or any of the healthy foods I loved eating. I feel weak and lazy all the time and like I am carrying bricks on my shoulders. I originally got on Zarah and off the IUD because my doctor said it would help my acne but it didn't. The IUD was amazing besides not helping or even causing my acne. I also have constant headaches and eat junk food constantly and have gained 5 lbs. "


"I get probably 4 or 5 migraines a month. I couldn't bear to be without my fioricet. It's the only medicine that seems to work for me. If I feel a headache starting, I take 2 tabs and within 20-30 mins, the headache is gone. In addition to being a mother of 4 girls, I have run my family day care for 17 years and I just wouldn't be able to function without my fioricet. I have tried several other mediciness before fioricet, and nothing seemed to help so I am very thankful for fioricet. It works great for me. I've tried to avoid things that set off my headaches, like not eating before 2 pm, or my pillows not being right when sleeping, brightness, sounds, smells and stress. But some can't be avoided. Thank you."


"Nightmares, daytime drowsiness, sucidal thoughts, aggressive"


"Amazing relief!  I had to take two 50mg pills at once for it to work.  Works the best out of any medication I have tried."


"Although I have a side effect of dry mouth and mild dizziness it takes away the pain as it should. The dry mouth appears when taking 4 or more in and 12hr period. Whereas the dizziness is more immediate 1hr after indigestion but dissipates an 1 to 2 hrs after ingestion."


"It helped to stop the nerve pain in my toes so I could sleep."


"I had taken Adderall, Concerta and other ADHD medications which all caused me to lose my appetite, get moody or come down from it and I felt I wasn't able to be myself. Strattera took a few weeks to kick in, I fell asleep constantly for the first two-four weeks (I know lots of people jump the Strattera ship then saying it is not working or making them sleepy) but after 4 weeks I started to feel like myself again. Except my mind got clearer, I could organize my room/now apartment, do all my school work, do everything I need to do, have better conversations and do not binge eat. I take 40mg and have had no side effects from it. It also helps my anxiety. It is my miracle."


"Topamax was a miracle drug for me! It helped with my Fibromyalgia pain & headaches. I would definitely recommend this drug. I have to stop taking it now due to the development of kidney stones. I wish I could stay on it as it improved my life by 90%.
I'm a 59 year old female. I have had fibromyalgia for 23 plus years."


"Amazing.. I had cervical Dystonia from an allergic reaction to a drug when I was a kid and have been dealing with it and the pain half my life. It has stopped me from being active among with other conditions I have had. Since doing botox I haven't thrown my back or neck out, my pain has lessened and my quality of life has increased ten fold. I just got another shot (we are still figuring out my exact amount) and have been doing it for close to a year now. It takes time to reach the right amount and they don't want to give you too much early due to severe side effects of paralysising your muscles and causing a droop in neck or hard to swallow which can last several weeks or longer. I think I am close to finding my sweet spot. Don't give up!"


"This pill has been a painful experience. It is definitely effective because I haven't gotten pregnant or anything. At first it was nice because my periods were lighter, and my cramps weren't too bad. But about 2 months into taking it I realized I was always really emotional the day before my period which I just chalked up to PMS. But then I found myself crying all the time over seemingly nothing and it wasn't just simple tears I was always close to having anxiety attacks. So far there ain't been a day or two that's passed where I wasn't crying over something. Physically, I didn't have any side effects but emotionally it really tore me up. I was depressed and felt empty. Switching off this pill ASAP"


"I have had leg pain for over 5 years now.  I have taken tramadol for the pain.  I never thought it was restless leg because I never felt like moving my legs, they just ached so bad in the morning when I woke up.  my doctor just added requip 2 days ago and it was amazing.  I slept past 5am and woke at 8am with NO LEG PAIN and didn't need my 2 tramadol!! unbelievable! I am so excited to possibly cut my tramadol dose down because I was always so tired on tramadol! Im hoping this will work for awhile.  My starting dose of requip is .25mg."


"Zydis is very good, it's the best for my brothers."


"I have always been constipated (lucky if I go once a week) for as long as I remember for different reasons. I finally addressed it with my doctor. I was referred to a gastroenterologist who prescribed Trulance. They gave me some samples while my insurance approved the prescription. I did have a bout with diarrhea after a couple weeks but it quickly subsided. After a month being on the medicine, I'm actually going 2x a day. I'm still not sure how I feel about spending more time in the bathroom but I'm not bloated anymore. I do experience more gas but better than feeling like you are about to give birth."


"My wife has been on Apri for about 3 years now and right away I noticed something was wrong. After much talking I think I finally have talked her in to trying something else. Her mood swings are unpredictable and unexpected we have been married for 4 years and it has been really trying on me and us. I really hope she is back to herself soon."


"I've had chronic daily cluster headaches for about 35 years.  Actiq is the only med that I've tried to offer near-complete relief.  I've been using them for almost five years and they still work as well as the first time.  For me, a true "miracle drug"."


"Life-saving!"


"After 25 years of heavy smoking I quit in five days! (Though I enjoyed smoking so much!) This happened 13 years ago. Since then - no cravings. My husband followed my example: the same result seven days later."


"I got my tubes tied about 8 months ago and it ruined me. Extremly painful heavy periods. I mean to the point where I could not walk. Painful ovulation and for the first time ever--- my skin broke out like a teenager. I have never ever had skin issues.  My Dr put me on hormone therapy. Started with junel,  but that did nothing. My insurance changed it to microgestin and I was a little apprehensive. I started taking it to try it out, and I love it! My skin cleared up in a matter of a week, no weight gain, no mood swings and very light periods!  It did make me nauseous at first but that went away. It also increased my breast size a bit. I read the reviews and was nervous to try it, but I must say, I love it!"


"I have degenerative disc disease in my cervical spine, and Darvocet works great. Less addictive than Vicodin or Percocet."


"I did lose a few pounds when I started Victoza. after about 4 months of being on it, my bloodwork for my kidneys is screwed up. Stopped taking Ibuprofen  and increased my water intake and 2 weeks later my bloodwork is still screwed up. Dr. wants me to stop taking the Metformin. I think it is the Victoza screwing up my kidneys"


"I got on the shot November 12, 2015 it was fine until it was time for my menstrual cycle I was on and still haven't came off the shot was supposed to be over by February 12, 2016 it is now February 15, 2016 and it has been light and on and off until today I tried to have sex and i found out it still hasn't came off not only that it has gotten heavier since I tried to have sex"


"Caused severe headaches."


"Vyvanse has been a miraculous drug for me. I have binging/dieting/binging/dieting for the last 40 years. During my last diet I managed to lose 80 pounds and felt great, but almost as soon as I hit goal I started binging again, sometimes 6 days a week. Very quickly I regained 15 pounds. I ask my doctor about Vyvanse and he (rather reluctantly) prescribed it. Well, those endless obsessions about food are just gone. I don't worry about what I'm going to eat for my next meal. I've always had a problem with Thanksgiving, worrying about what I will eat WEEKS in advance. Only side effect is dry mouth."


"Horrible nausea& daily vomiting with little pain relief side effects not worth taking this medication"


"I started this medication a little over a month ago & was very weary. I have had PTSD and suffer from anxiety for almost 10 years. My doctor recently suggested I give this a try to combat both anxiety and a mild case of depression. The first week and a half was not fun - I was tired, nauseous, I had hot flashes everything. I read reviews online and they said to stick it out, so I did. So far, it's been a great help. I feel more in control of my life and my thoughts. I have read a lot of reviews about this medicine causing weight gain so I'm worried about that, as my birth control does that enough. So far this is working well with me but everyone should remember we are all different and this medicine will work differently for everyone."


"Yeah, did this for seven days. Just got out of the hospital after a full body rash (including feet, hands a face, required them to put me on iv antibiotics for two days). Fun times"


"I have been taking this medicine for over two years now and when I first started taking it it turned my life around.  I'm a senior in high school now and a high honors student and I credit my success mostly to the medication. After taking the 70mg dose for a long amount of time I have noticed that the benefits of the pill have decreased.  Now, the medicine wears off within five hours of taking it.  Compared to before when it would last all day.  I do not feel as focused as I used to while taking it, I do not feel the loss of appetite anymore, and I am becoming more forgetful."


"I used to take ogestrel 28 , which is a high dose .  I have been onogestrel 28 for over 5 years .  I am on the pill to help regulate my period . I  got a new GYN dr and he wanted to change the pill to a lower dose , so I started on cryselle. I gained 30 Pounds.  Diet , physical activity was the same as before , in fact I was more physically active but I still gained all that weight . My primary dr thought it was me that I was over eating or not active. That she doubt it was the pill . I went from a normal BMI to crossing the obese border, after starting cryselle.  I told my dr I wanted to change back to ogestrel 28. Within the first few months back on orgestrel I started to lose the weight."


"This medicine worked really well. It did take about 3 days to kick in and make me feel 100% better though. Took it as directed and did not have any problems. I did have nausea about 8 hours after taking the pill but I would eat something and the nausea would go away. Make sure to drink lots of fluids in order to get rid of the infection and continue to drink lots of fluids to prevent the infection! Took medication twice daily for seven days."


"I had a little bit of an upset stomach once and two nights where I didn't get a full night sleep.  Otezla worked within days and I am 99% clear.  After 30 years of psoriasis affecting almost every area of my life in some way, I am enjoying such relief."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Aside from the out of pocket cost ($130.00 for me) I would recommend this drug.   It was effective in cleaning out my colon without having to drink copious amounts of fluid.   I chose the Orange flavor and it reminded me of powdered Tang orange juice - not unpleasant at all.    Better chilled if possible.   I followed the split dose regimen.  It took about 90 minutes for the first dose to start working, but the process lasted about 2 hours.   I did experience a slight, passing feeling of nausea at first, but it subsided once things got moving.   The second dose, next morning, took about the same amount of time to work, but the process only lasted about an hour,   My physician reported that colon prep was "excellent"."


"This Medication Is The best pain medicine I have tried. I've tried Codeine, Oxycodone, And all those over the counter meds. Hydrocodone By far has helped my nerve and back pain. I'm only 16 years old and I have alot of Back problems (Scoliosis, Spondylithesis, Herniated disk, pinched nerve) And Leg pain. I take 1 tablet 3 to 4 times daily as needed for my pain. It takes my pain away within 15 minutes! It's a wonderful medication. I love it. I've been on Lortab 7.5/500 for about a year now."


"I'm just so relieved after using this...I spent days and days looking up reviews to comfort myself but that only helped slightly.It was my second time being sexually active and the condom slipped on the sept 13 took the pill roughly 24 hours later.Didnt feel any symptoms so I started to worry but please don't!It works.Last night...Sept 19th I was having brown discharge that turned into a full blown period on the 20th.Im finally at ease!But ladies please get on birth control if you plan on being sexually active.active. Thats the next step for me.It'll save me the headache!"


"Bipolar with major depression disorder."


"Was on Cipro for 30 days. After 21 days my condition started to improve.  After medication was gone my condition returned full force.  Doctor put me on Bactrim DS. Hopefully it will work."


"I was having symptoms of a UTI for a few weeks, so I finally went to the ER when the pain got worse, they gave me Bactrim. 2 days after taking it (twice a day) I got flu symptoms/ a cold. Today is my 5th day on it and I feel awful, shortness of breath, so so tired and I feel so nauseous. And I'm still having pain when I use the bathroom so I don't even think Its working. Going to call the doctor tomorrow, I won't be continuing this medicine."

"I have had chronic constipation all my life. Everytime I try something new it will work for a few weeks, and then it's like my body gets used to it and it doesn't work anymore. I have been taking Amitiza for 4 days, 24mcg twice a day. I have had 2 bowel movements but nothing more. I did experience some side effects, especially nausea. Have to take while eating and drink a lot of water, but no miracles yet. I will continue to take and see what happens."


"Taking this for a spider bite.. Side effects bad.. Took last night and woke up with stomach cramping, gas and nausea. It continued on off all day and I had to take an anti-emetic twice.. The worst part is I didn't even take the full dose my doctor told me to take, only 1/2. Needless to say I won't be taking it anymore.. I only gave it three because it did help with the spider bite, but only a little.. It's not worth the side effects"


"Don't worry about weight gain! I've taken Seroquel for two years, and let me tell you you can stay fit and or lose weight! The hardest is the munchies at night, but if you can control that and or snack healthy you will be FINE. You don't have to have a strict diet on this medication. Exercise and eat healthy as much as you can. You can still enjoy giving into cravings! You have to adjust to the major hunger especially at night. See what works for you. This medicine is amazing and works very well. Just give it a chance. After two years I have not gained any weight but have actually lost since I began taking it. It's a little hard at first but once you figure out what works for you you'll have a happy life emotionally and physically!"


"Amazing, I have been taking only 50 mg of this for 8 weeks. I have lost 31 lbs 3 sizes, I don't feel racey or speedy or weird, I feel good, if I miss a dose I don't feel it. Missed it for 4 days and didn't gain any weight. I am also eating really well and exercising! I recommend this if you have tried other things and they haven't been successful. I am a 31 year old mother of 5. Nothing else worked this is my miracle!"


"Well my experience with Implanon I thought was going to be wonderful. The only thing wonderful is that I cant get pregnant. Besides that I bleed for almost two weeks with blood lots and all but now I bleed regular with occasional spotting but my mood swings are ridiculous. I've gained some extra pounds and my eating habit has been the same. Everyones body is different. For some people this is right -but not for me."


"I took Contrave for 2 1/2 weeks but had to stop.  The side effects weren't worth it for me.  I lost 4 lbs but I always felt so weird and jittery and I started having what I think are heart palpitations.  My hands started shaking uncontrollably from the start and then the breathing/heart issue started.  This medication certainly stopped all cravings, in fact, I didn't feel like eating at all and had to force myself but the shaking and breathing/heart issues weren't problems I wanted to start developing.  I'd say just be careful on this medication.  Your overall health is more important."


"First of all, all of those people who quit, will be back to smoking really soon. And if it says they are smoke free for years, it is probably a bought comment by Pfizer. Trust me. I did quit as well 3 times, but it is not permanent. The side effects last even months after you take the pill. the last time I quit with it, I had a neurological breakdown, I could not control my body, I was having a non fatal stroke and even heart attack. I could not talk, had to be taken to the emergency. My eyes were rolling up, I could not control my limbs, could not talk, my mouth would not move to talk. It was horrible. Months later I am back to smoking and now I am scared to take the pill. The depression was horrific and same with  the dreams. I do not recommend"


"I've used this for 2 years and have had no problems whatsoever. I previously had an arm implant and experienced spotting and weight gain that wouldn't stop. After taking Quasense I've lost weight, no spotting, light & short periods. I use retin a for acne so my skin has been unaffected. I'm not sure about water retention because I believe that has a lot to do with diet and I'm athletic so I stay hydrated on a daily basis. I experienced no nausea, headaches, psychological side effects.  And most importantly, no pregnancy."


"I have been on Suboxone since the medicine became available. I was  born in Bridgeport, a big city and plenty of drugs. I have been an addict since I was 15 years old. I was addicted to heroin for 10 years and ruined my life. I've done prison time in 4 different states over the years and thought for sure drugs would be the death of me but then came this medicine and my life has changed. I'm a human being again and totally drug free. I owe it all to this medicine or I would no doubt be DEAD."


"Suffering from migraines and tension headaches, Prodrin is a life saver. I used to take Midrin, but I couldn't get it any longer and my pharmacist recommended Prodrin. I don't know why it isn't more popular because IT really works. A side effect I get when I have sinus/allergy headaches, is it opens up my nasal passages. I hope they never stop making it."


"I literally thought there was 0 hope for me. My anxiety has increased drastically as I've gotten older and has led to social anxiety. Going out in public would depress me, I constantly thought people were plotting against me and talking about me. I have been on Paxil for about a month. Thank God. My work days are MUCH better, I don't analyze the hell out of everything and I'm not afraid of people. I can now get out of bed and look forward to the day, not dread it."


"This has changed my life. I had really bad allergies and would get sinus infections at least once every 2 months and everytime I was on a plane. I discovered flonase while on a trip and was at the end of my rope having antibiotics constantly and I tried the flonase as a last resort for some relief. It wasn't instant but the change was amazing. Since taking flonase i haven't had a infection since and have travelled extensively without any issue. I have recommended to a friend who has horrible allergies and it has helped her almost completely ease her symptoms and even stopped her snoring. Might not be for everyone but with regular use it has worked wonders for me"


"I've been taking this for about 4 months and I have never been an overly emotional person and now all the sudden my mood swings and emotions are off the charts. I never get that sad over things and it's made me a lot more depressed/sad. I've always had an easy period so that wasn't effected but my emotions are so messed up. I do not suggest this brand."
