"I am 18 and was prescribed Monodox with a topical creme "Veltin" and have been on them for almost a week. So far I have seen small improvements and I will post another update either when it completely clears or at the end of the month. One thing is for sure though is that it works 10x better than anything else. After I take the medicine (Around dinner time) I can feel my pores clearing up. By the way I have what is called "Moderate or Mild Cystic Acne. Hope this helps and thanks for all that have posted already!"


"I had no problems with this birth control, and I loved it. My periods only lasted from 3-4 days with VERY little cramping. I was pretty much disappointed when my OB told me that I couldn't get back on it for whatever reason."


"It did not relieve my migraine and I actually felt worse after taking it. I cannot seem to find anything that does help though."


"I've has the implant since mid December last year. The first few weeks after getting it were horrible. My boobs swelled up and were so painful that I cried whenever taking of my bra and I had terrible mood swings that almost made my boyfriend break up with me. I haven't had a period until last week. It was really light and only lasted about 5 days, but the first few days I had really bad cramps.

I've gotten more spots on my face, back and chest. Other than that it is great, I love not having to remember to take a pill everyday."


"'This product is flat out amazing'. As a teen, I was always conscious about my sweaty hands. Rejecting people whenever they reached out for a handshake was more than embarrassing, but I still did it and people would always comment. But when I found Drysol, I didn't think it would work for me and ignored all of the 10 ratings. I gave it a shot though, and it WORKED within the next day I applied it. I experienced no irritation on my hands, but it may be different for other people. This thing does what it says it does and BELIEVE ME. With consistent use within the first few days, your hands will be bone dry, and you begin to realize that you need to apply it less and less. Thanks to Drysol, I'm literally reborn and anxiety-free."


"Zipsor is the ONLY med that gives me relief from intense pain in both shoulders due to widespread inflammation. This drug is absolutely amazing."


"I been on Methadone for 13 years and is only Drug that helped me and Doctors say I will always be on this Medicine ,  1 dose of 150mg in morning and I am Great all day and Night !!"


"Took 1000 mg for minor withdrawls from heroin use, and it really did the trick. Completely alleviated my muscle pains, and definitely had an effect on the skin crawls as well. I'm really glad I had these."


"Lowered blood pressure to acceptable level but a major side effect developed with extreme fatigue and muscle pain. These were painful enough that ability to work and perform normal life tasks were difficult."


"So far I have had two shots and am due for my third one next week.  I have not had any side effects at all.  In fact, strangely, before my first shot I would have constant dull aching and soreness/pain in my hips and pelvic area.  Within a month of my first shot that was gone.  It returned a month before my second shot and again left once that shot got into my system.  Again, this last month the pain has returned and I am due for the shot next week so I hope the pain goes away again.  I know that Prolia isn't meant to help with pain, but it seems to be doing something there for me.  I am not due for a DEXA until 2016 so I don't yet know how effective it is for my bones yet."


"I am 20 and on 750 mg of Depakote a day. Gained 10-15 pounds within the first month of taking this medication, but now my weight is remaining stable. I am eating healthier and running each day though. When I first started taking it, I was so restless/anxious, I had to pace around like mad. It took about 3 weeks to really end my mania in combination with 2 mg risperidone. I am experiencing easy bruising now. Sleeping 10 hours a night. Have an irregular period. In general I move more slowly. I am cloudy in the morning. I don't get upset with my family anymore."


"The depo shot was convienent. Loved not having to take a pill everyday. At first things were fine then I slowely started to develop severe depression all the way to suicidal thoughts. And trust me I'm the happiest person alive I was so confused what was happeneing. I only got 2 shots and then I switched to sprintec pill. Within a week of being off the depo I felt like myself again. I would rather take 10000 pills a day then to feel what I felt on the depo."


"I used to have many UTI's a year, but no more with this drug.  I have taken it every day for 4 years and have never had a side-effect.   Sorry for those who do."


"56 year old female with a lifetime of chronic constipation which seems to run in the family on my mothers side. After hitting menopause, bm's and the urge to have them simply stopped. I discontinued a bp med controlling migraine flares thinking that was the problem, but serious constipation continued no matter what I ate, drank or took. I saw a gastroenterologist who prescribed Linzess and am VERY pleased. no pain, just drain...and some gurgling intestinal sounds. best remedy EVER."


"I tried it for the first time due to anxiety. It made me tired and weak, & I knew was a possibility, so I took it just before bedtime. I laid down but was unable to sleep due to a horrible headache coming on shortly after. It felt similar to blood rushing to the head when hanging upside down. I was dizzy & anxious due to this, so got out of bed to get my partner. I only made it a few steps from my bed to the hallway before I passed out. I only remember needing to get help, then I woke up with him holding me sideways to keep me still from convulsing & choking on my tongue. I've never had any issue with fainting, convulsions, or seizures prior. I won't be taking this again. Ever."


"Cryselle is great! I've been taking it for about 3 months now and have been very happy with it. When I initially read the reviews on Cryselle back in May I was nervous to take it since not many women had a positive experience with it, but went ahead and tried it anyway. My skin has been extremely clear, and my period is pretty comfortable. Cramps are very bearable and the cycle itself only lasts a few days. I was a little nauseous the first day I took it in May but it went away after a day. All birth controls react differently to each body so don't be turned off by all the negative reviews on Cryselle! It's the best pill I've been on in years. Definitely worth a shot if you're on the fence, I couldn't be happier with it"


"My insurance covered some but good thing Tindamax gives a discount card for prescription. I have suffered with bacterial vaginitis off and on for 4 years. Finally got a prescription for Tindamax and it was the only thing that cleared it up for a few weeks. When my period came the bacterial vaginitis came back!
On round 2 of Tindamax now. Hopefully it gets rid of it for good. 4 pills 2 days. I get a really nasty metallic taste and nausea but the few weeks I was without bacterial vaginitis it was definitely worth it!"


"A miracle drug for me when I go into coughing fits at night and am unable to sleep."


"Terrible pill. It was recommended to me FOR my acne and made it worse. Also, be ready to cry ALL THE TIME for no reason at all."


"I've been on STRIBILD for a little over 3 weeks now, and have had NO side effects at all. Haven't gone back to get my blood work done yet, so not sure what my numbers are. But I'm very PLEASED to have no side effects. This is my first HIV treatment, and I was nervous and almost expecting some horrible nasty side effects. Very pleased."


"Awesome!

Changed my life for the better completely. Side effects are minimal but my mood has stabilized like never before. I wish I was medically compliant earlier.

This stuff has changed my life for the better!"


"My son will be 17 next week. He was diagnosed with ideopathic bilateral pan uveitis 6 years ago. He had double cataract surgery at age 14. He was treated with 6-7 different immunosuppresant medicines, nothing worked. Last August, he was placed on Remicade, once a month.  His inflammation has been almost quiet for nine months. His vision is stable. He is back to school and for the first time in five years, he is able to enjoy being a normal teenager.  "


"powerful narcotic good pain relief"


"It's the wonder pill! I've tried everything from patches, lozenges to acupuncture. This little pill is the only thing that worked for me."


"I would give Zyprexa a 10 rating except for the weight gain. I have bipolar 1 and have a lot more mania than depression. I have psychotic symptoms also and racing thoughts a lot. It did make me very tired the first couple of weeks but then it worked perfect except for the weight gain so I am not on it anymore."


"My gyno switched me to this because it was cheaper than my birth control at the time.  I experienced horrible cramps and bloating, not just when my period arrived.  Also, I gained almost ten pounds in one month which is completely not normal because I could barely eat since the pill made me nauseous and dizzy at least a few times a week.  My periods were heavy and seven days, when before they were light and only four days.  "


"I wanted to wait a few more days before I made my first post, but I couldn't take it my results are amazing it has only 4 days . I started12/4/15 .today is 12/8/15 and I have lost 6pds. Started at 261 and 4 days later I'm at 255. Dry mouth is my only side effect, and not wanting to eat anything.  Remember to make sure you eat something. I am ready for my 30 day results I will post on the 18th of Dec and  Jan 4 which will be my 30 days. I feel great and have lots of energy."


"The side effects that most complain about are what I love most about this medication. I am a 5'9" male in the Army that had lost weight all the way down to 128 lbs and was sleeping 3-4 hours a night on average. I have been on Seroquel for 4 months. I weigh 165lbs now and sleep 8-9 hours a night"


"The medicine turned me into a weight gaining zombie that didn't want to get out of bed. It controlled my allergies (no more so than zyrtec) and made me feel horrible."


"I just started taking Seroquel XR a week ago after a bad experience with Geodon.  So far, so good.  I feel more "laid back" on Seroquel and it helps me sleep which is good for me because I have bad insomnia.  I'm only taking 150mg now, but notice no ill effects.  Time will tell if I need to take more."


"Seems to help pain due to prostate cancer fairly well. As long as it's taken every 4-6 hours as directed. If a dose is taken too late, break through pain seems to occur at end of hour 3. Do not double a dose unless directed by your doctor. Only some mild constipation to report. Daily activities seem to have improved since taking this medication.
Can get out and walk with "less" pain. Also, do not feel like I'm "medicated" or "under the influence" in any way like with many other medications. Although as a precaution, I would not operate a vehicle for liability purposes, unless absolutely necessary."


"Was reluctant to take this has read reviews and was going on holiday. But weighed up either bad toothache or risk side effects. No effects what so ever. Shifted my toothache. But didn't risk alcohol at all. Was bit itchy but nothing bad. Would take again if had too."


"Best relief for hives. Prefer this over Xyzal."


"Has worked well in keeping acid reflux in check."


"I have had psoriasis since I was 20 years old. I am now 35. I started using Humira about 2 months ago and when I look at my skin now, I want to cry from joy!! Its gone!! All of the psoriasis is just GONE!! 15 years I have had people look at me weird and think I am diseased, now I look like any other person with clear skin. It is wonderful and I want to hug the makers of this amazing medicine!"


"If you want to sleep a lot, as in all day long and gain lots of weight, enjoy. I am listless, and have pre-diabetes now. "


"The first couple days this did nothing for me but by the third day I really noticed less pain and stiffness. However, I had to stop taking it when I started having severe stomach aches, headaches, and blood pressure spiking up within an hour of taking it."


"I've been on 9 different birth control pills (includes lo loestrin). I am 35 years old, around 124 pounds and 5'3". My OBGYN prescribed this pill 6-7 months ago with the hopes of alleviating my heavy bleeding and fatigue. Now, all women's bodies react differently to these pills. This review is based on how my body reacted to lo loestrin. PROs: no periods (just light bleeding at times), energy, pregnancy prevention. CONs: anxiety, aggrevation, weight gain (I felt like I was eating for two), strange chest pain on the left, small break outs. My OBGYN accidently prescribed me back on my old BC accidently meaning to prescibe me on Lolo. I was glad she made that mistake because I did not like the way this pill made me feel."


"Precribed after many years of Ambien use.  Took 5 mg.....nothing
After an hour 5 more mg........after another hour 5more mg.....tossing and turning .  No sleep.  Back to Ambien."


"Just want to share my experience with others because I could find some comfort in those of others.

I had unprotected sex on the 20th of April. My periods are regular and, based on my period tracker, at that time I was on my least fertile days of my cycle (chances were big that my ovulation had already took place a week ago). I took EllaOne after 6 hours. I experienced some mild cramps a two hours after, but that was it. I did not have any other symptoms.

Based on my period tracker, my period should have started on the 26th of April. However, it did not come. I was a bit stressed and took a pregnancy test which turned out to be negative. Finally, after two days my period came! Please, stay calm and breath in/out! EllaOne works! :)"


"I had a very large cluster of anal warts.  I went to two colon rectal specialists.  The first one was a male and insisted that the infection and removal of warts could only be treated via surgery which would have costs close to $10,000 dollars.  So I got a second a opinion from a female colon rectal specialist who also felt that surgery was the best option.  That being said she allowed me to try Aldara first.

Let me just say that Aldara is a miracle drug!  After 8 weeks of treatment and monitoring with my doctor, 100% of the warts were gone.  Even my doctor was floored that Aldara was able to treat even the worst cases of anal warts.  She would have had me surgery the next day if it weren't for Aldara. It's been a year with no recurrence"


"Taken for 3 months and restless legs syndrome gone except twice."


"Claritin seems to help for the first 2-3 day, but loses all effectiveness for me beyond that. All symptoms return."


"I never had problems with acne as a teenager or young adult. I'm 47 & I started getting terrible, very painful,  cystic acne about 6 months ago. It covered the entire surface of my chin & some around my nose & mouth. I was mortified & depressed cause of these horrific awful lesions on my face. I would do everything possible to avoid interaction with people, I hated going anywhere other than home & even at home it was hard to let my man look at me. I had no clue I had cystic acne. I thought it was just hormonal changes. I couldn't take it anymore, it wasn't going away no matter what I did. I went to the doctor & he put me on Minocin twice a day & within a week my face is 98% clear. I can hold my head up again with confidence."


"Been taking it for just 1 month, I had to change my other birth control because of mood swings and acne. Monosessa is better but still not perfect. My acne got better and my mood swings are better but I'm always hungry now and weirdly enough I smell differently and I sweat more than usual. But I mean that's better than the other birth control."


"Had sex on May 6th, the day after my period ended. Took Plan B after 32h, had spotting for 2days. After that I had milky/watery discharge for a month (!!!!) every single day. Every week I took pregnancy tests, they all were negative. Only on June 11th FINALLY I had my period. Ironically on June 10th I bought 2 pregnancy tests, I was pretty sure I was pregnant, because had all symptoms which signify pregnancy or maybe I just was so much stressed out that in every unusual little thing I saw pregnancy. I know its hard af but please be patient and everything is going to be OK!!!!"


"First colonoscopy at age 54 (I know, 4 years late). Read all the reviews and was horrified and dreading the experience.  Let me say, the negative revivews are overstated!  At least for me.  Solution isn't wonderful, but I found it very tolerable.  No straws, lemons etc... just chugged the 16 oz solution and followed with 2 16 oz glasses of water. Took first dose at 4 pm,  started working within 20 minutes,. Pretty well  done in bathroom within 3 hours.  Second dose was at 2 am.  Drank the Same amounts as first dose and went back to bed.  Didn't go to bathroom until 3 hours later. Not as much elimination with Second dose, as I was probably already "cleaned  out". I've had alcoholic drinks that tasted much worse than this!!"


"My daughter takes 40mg of the Latuda. You should always take it with your dinner no later then five or you will be tried in the morning. This was told to me by her doctor. She has been on this medicine for about 7 months. She sleeps well at night."


"Had a heart attack on July 3rd, stent put in, put on Plavix for one month.  Stent partially collapsed after stopping Plavix and was having some chest pains.  Doctor put me back on Plavix and no more problems since.  It sure works good for me and no side effects."


"Tested positive in april 2015 was prescribed triumeq.  Viral load was 55000. T Cell count 199.

After only 9 Weeks on medication with Valtrex in conjunction; Viral Load was 30 (that's thirty, basically undetectable)  T Cell count up to 478.   I had no side effects at all.

With manufacture coupon. (print online...had no problem at pharmacy drug is free)  think cash price is 4K per month normally"


"I am using this now, have already had 6 weeks treatment. It helped shrink the tumor before surgery. I am on a further 6 months course to eradicate any cells left and have had no side effects at all."


"I have been on Zoloft/Sertraline for only a couple of days but can instantly feel the effects. I cannot stop taping my feet/moving my legs maybe its energy that I didn't have for a while. I'm not sure. It is affecting my stomach but will see how it goes for a couple of weeks. Could do with losing a bit of weight.

Could not sleep for love nor money last night, mind was active, but actually felt like I could have a laugh with my wife in the evening, she says I have been really horrible to be with (moaning etc).

At work, feel like I'm on edge but hoping once it really kicks in I will feel more 'myself'. Extremely tired and keep yawning and feeling less emotional, for a 29 year old man. I will update after a few weeks to advise how its going."


"I have been on Effexor for couple of months and I have to say it really works. I am telling you if I wasn't on this medication I wouldn't know how to function right and there would be probably a lot of crying and not wanting to do anything and beating myself up which I hate and now I feel so much better."


"I have never reacted to an antibiotic, Ever, In my whole life.  Until now.  Within 30 mins of taking Avelox, I was experiencing nausea, sweats, shortness of breath, heart flutters.  I was so weak I had to be carried to bed.  Then the vomiting started, it was short-lived, but violent.  It also has many NSAID contraindications, so be careful.  Especially if your sinus infection is very painful, watch what you take.  Glad to see it's worked for some - but for me."


"If you're debating on whether to get drysol or not, DEFINITELY GET IT. When I read the reviews I was said "oh it can't be that good." I was so beyond impressed. I apply it now 1-2 times a week and now I can wear whatever top I want. I even went running in 90 degree whether in a black shirt and my underarms were still completely dry. I am so happy that I tried this. The only downside is the burning once you apply it but it only lasts for about 20 minutes. It's so worth it!"


"The first time  I  used phentermine,  about 6 months ago. I ended up in the ER with chest pains. Should have read all side effects.  Decided to give it another shot since it does help a great deal with weight loss.  I now take half of the pill and its working much better. Do have dry mouth, sleepiness maybe an hour after taking it and some mood swings.  I will deal with the side effects so that I may get at least 25 pounds off."


"I started fluoxetine a year ago. When I was younger I had horrible excruciating stomach aches and we didn't figure out what it was until I was about 13-14 (I'm 17 now). We even went as far as checking for cancer, and doing crazy tests. I pretty much self diagnosed myself because I would have this funny feeling and my heart would race before the stomach ache. I talked to my doctor and he said Fluoxetine would be the best to go on. He gave it to me November 2010 but I let my anxiety get the best of me and was to scared to take it. Then in May 2011 I decided I couldn't live my life with such pain and it had taken LOTS of effect on my school, I was rarely attending. I now have a job and I'm getting better at school. My obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) habits have stopped too."


"When I first got ParaGard I was 18, never had children, and had tried a few forms of oral birth control, all of which effected my body terribly. My OBGYN advised me not to get it due to the device being rather large in size and that given my age, the insertion would be extremely painful. Upon insertion my cramps were excruciating for about a week, then became sporadic for about a month. I also experienced bleeding for three months straight. After those few months however, I had lighter periods, no cramping and everything was wonderful, until about a year later I went in for a ultrasound check up, only to discover the device had disappeared. Turns out I'm in the 0.8% to have this happen. Apparently it happens in younger women. Be cautious."


"Has many years of  problems with depression, anxiety , derealization etc. Eventually learned these all related to Complex Multiple Trauma. But that is another story. Doxepin pretty much the ONLY antidepressant that has ever helped me. Totally a life saver over and over for me.

It is HIGHLY calming as well as anti-deprssing. That is because  simultaneous to increasing serotonin and norepinephrine,  is a beta adrenergic blocker (hence anti fear etc)

BUT here is the real amazing thing about Doxepin - it is VERY anti- inflammatory. Neuroinflammation (brain inflammation) is a big issue  in mental health problems. Doxepin - out if ALL dregs, addresses this best of all. Search pub med. Doxepin has saved my life many times over several decades."


"Felt positive effects immediately at 10 mg. Had one day of diarrhea and some nausea but that went away when I started taking it after dinner. I'm going to ask to be bumped up to 20 mg on my next appt.

Very happy with Trintellix. Works better than Wellbutrin, Pristiq or Lexapro and side effects are much less."


"I was on venlafaxine 75mg for the past month and boy was that a crappy drug. Felt more sick than ever and didnt want to get on it ever again. Fast heart rate , raised my blood pressure and almost made me black out while riding my bike. Resting heart rate in bed before sleeping was 100-120 . Weaning off of it as of now, 1 week to go. Doctor gave me zoloft/sentraline which I was given a few years ago (helped me so well) I'm pretty happy with my life. I no longer think of my ex who cheated on me and left me for another guy, and no more suicidal thoughts. I FEEL HAPPY! Every drug effects and helps everyone in different ways. I noticed change in the first week. I'm on 50mg right now and Im so happy :) Takes time guys! LIVE ON ,LIVE HAPPY"


"I have been on citalipram\celexa 40mg for years & it just wasn't working anymore....my Psych added the Rexulti .5 mg  3weeks ago and I have never felt better! I take them both @ bedtime. only real side affect is nausea sometimes in the middle of the night. I am so grateful to be able to live again.

My doc has given me a month's more samples while they work to try and get my insurance to accept this new med....I hope they do cause my pharmacy quoted me $1000 (not a typo) for my prescription!"


"Personally, thus drug gives me a fixed drug eruption in the form of a huge, round rash on one of my breasts that is intensively itchy and burns. It feels like a horrible sunburn. Therefore, I am clearly not a fan."


"Helps with hot flashes and night sweats but I've put on 8 pounds- in 3 weeks - freaking me out anyone else having this issue? I'm hoping it will level out and I'll go back to my normal weight, I'm small framed person and never had this happen so quickly- nothing fits me!"


"Lantus SoloStar Pen is easy to use - I get very few "hypos". My levels are more stable. I feel wonderful since using this. I have now been on Lantus for 12 months."


"The Skyla IUD was the first form of birth control I've used. I typically cramp very bad on my period, but after getting Skyla especially after the insertion with the help of ibuprofen I did not cramp at all. Pain during the insertion was pretty intense but it did not last long at all. I would highly recommend the Skyla IUD!"


"I've been in this shot for 5 months. First 3 months I was always spotting & I was always angry. I always had acne but this shot made it worse. I started having nightmares and my anxiety was worse but I still decided to go on with my 2nd. Once I got my 2nd shot the bleeding went away, most of the side effects went away except for my acne it got worse. My skin hasn't been this bad in years! & my hair is falling out like crazy I'm afraid to even brush it. My sex drive also completely went away. I also started bleeding again this while on this and ever since I started bleeding again.im severely depressed. I don't know how to shake this feeling off. If you have a history of acne & depression pls don't get this shot. It will bring everything back"


"I like it because so far it has improved my flow 80% over the rest of the medications on the market."


"No experience yet I barely started taking it-  last Sunday. They prescribed Lyza due to I'm diabetic T2"


"Best medicine I have ever taken but tablets work best on me"


"I got the skyla put in January 19th. It is currently March 6th. The insertion was bad for me. I felt extremely moody because it was a lot of pain for me. My cramps have gone one notch down from when I got it. The bleeding and cramps have continued almost daily since I've gotten it done... I'm starting to get really concerned because the pain is affecting my mood... Its hard to be around people. The bleeding isn't really like... A period I guess? The more active the more I can feel it come out. But on a normal lazy day I can feel the blood leak out like once or twice. Some days I don't bleed at all. But more often than not I have bled and cramped since it got put in.... I'm starting to consider it being removed.."


"I started on liquid Prozac for anxiety and depression, so I could take a small amount due to drug sensitivities. I took it for two months. It did take a bit of the edge off my anxiety and helped with some of the aching from depression. I had to stop taking it because it gave me stomach trouble that got worse each time I took it. I probably would have continued longer if I hadn't had the stomach side effects."


"I am a female, in high school, 5"9 210 pounds. I had been dealing with anxiety for my whole life. I went to a therapist and it helped a little but it wasn't enough to make a dramatic difference. I finally decided to go to a psychiatrist and got diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, and I also suffer from separation anxiety, some OCD, and social anxiety.  I went on Lexapro 5mg for one week then went to 5mg in the morning and 5mg at night. I have been on that dose for over a month and am night and day from how I was. I am finally the happy go lucky relaxed person my dad says he knew existed deep down. I have no complaints other than wishing I had started it years ago. I noticed a difference after one week. I recommend it 100%."


"I took trulicity for 4 weeks. .75 dose  sugar levels  went down immediatly.  to morning levels average of 140. only side effects were pain in side from stomach to back, pain and swollen lump in  front on side of neck to my ear.  Pain in back was not too bad. Pain in tyroid gland of my neck was severe.  _Stopped taking it and pain in back went away. However the pain both side of neck was really severe and it's been 3 weeks and I still have the pain. Bad luck with victoza and trulicity."


"Trintellix (30 mg) has helped manage my depression  but has resulted in exceptional weight gain.  I have gained 30 lb in 9 months, which just adds to the depression and self disgust."


"I was on enbrel for nearly 9 years before it stopped working and humira didn't work at all for me. I started remicade nearly 4 years ago, my Dr started me out getting an infusion every 8 weeks and over the first year he brought it down to every 4 weeks. It's been working great but after the first 2 years my knees started bothering me but after some injection at my orthopedist they have been under control. Now both my elbows are really bothering me, at first it was when I woke up but now it's 24-7. I go in for my next infusion next week and will talk to my rheumatologist about the pain. I was curious to see if anyone else has had knee or elbow pain after being on remicade"


"I have been on it for two months now, and love the simple use. I don't have to worry about taking a pill every day, or making sure patches are sticking properly.
The downsides are that I seem to have easier to get headaches, but so far the more painful ones are not happeneing more than perhaps twice a month.
Another good thing though is that my menstruation is lighter and regular now. Before, it was very heavy and irregular."


"The doctor of my 13 year old autistic daughter put her on 5mg of Abilify last October.  The first three months were great. Her mood swings decreased. She was less destructive and it was a lot quieter at home and in school.  We started seeing the behaviors coming back a little at a time.  At month 7, the behaviors were back full swing and much worse than they were before she was put on Abilify.  She also gained 42 pounds and we couldn't keep her out of food unless we locked the cabinets and refrigerator. She has been off of Abilify since mid July and her behavior has turned around completely.  Now she is on an "as needed" medicine that we only give her when we see a meltdown coming, and that is not very often."


"2 days after I started taking Effexor, the major depression I was in went away.  It was like a miracle!"


"Was on Enbrel for about 6 months and it stopped working for me. Humira and a combination of oral drugs had me pain free in a few days.  However, it does not feel like it last a full 2 weeks, after day 10 I start with minor pain working up to about a 5 or 6 then back down from there."


"I was diagnosed with ms in May 31 2016. First we wanted to do tecfadra but insurance wanted me to do something cheaper. In that time I had a horrible relapse. So we choose tysabri my doctor said it was the only other drug strong enough to deal with my ms. After my 4th infusion I tested JC positive and had to be hospitalized. I am no longer on it and I am not a fan of it"


"I was stressed from work and a recent move. This affected my ability to perform in the bedroom. After a month of problems my ED got worse as my confidence waned. Finally I decided to see the doc. He gave me a free sample of 20 mg cialis. I took the pill that day around 4pm. I felt the effects by 5. Went about my usual nightly routine. Around 9 it was time to give it a try. I cornered the wife in the bedroom and made my move. Let's just say it worked very well. No problem getting it up and maintaining and I completed the deed without trouble.  The next night we it worked again! Use it!"


"This medication worked wonderful for me. Totally changed my negative and depressed attitude about life. The only down side is some weight gain and very low Libido! My Doctor is actually switching me to Viibryd because of these side effects. Very scared to change medications when this one worked so well for me!"


"I suffered with a pretty severe anxiety, stress and depression. Took Paxil 4 days ago and honestly I feel great. It already started working. Lot of it could be in my head but trust me all my symptoms disappeared. Side effects: from day one I had a light headache, day two -a little harder headache, day three unbearable headache, day four(now) no headache, feeling perfectly fine, great mood, even though its raining and dark outside.  GREAT medicine. Also its worth to add, it worked the same wonders for me about 8 years ago when I had it for the last time. I was on Paxil for 6 months and it healed me. I had 7 years of great life and suddenly 6-7 months ago this thing attacked me again. Paxil works again, same way."


"Love this stuff!! I have been using it for a month and my skin is less oily and definitely starting to look clear. I am still in the purging phase. Keep sticking it out though. I still get breakouts during that time of the month, but they are not too bad. I occasionally get cycstic acne, I believe I only get them when I accidentally have gluten. Differin helps the breakouts for sure!"


"Mirena was terrible for me. I got the Mirena when I was 19, I had never been pregnant. It was extremely painful, expensive and after five months or so it became impossible to have sex. I had it removed and am thankful I did. I also had constant spotting. No weight gain, but only had it in for five months. And no change in moods."


"Hair loss, weight gain, deforming cystic acne, hot flashes! At 32, after 2 years on depo I was told by my gyn that my symptoms weren't depo, but that I was 'in a new season of life'. I. I no longer trust that doctor, I will never take birth control again. I'm not 10 months past my last shot and just beginning to see signs that my hair is growing in, my acne is getting better even though permanent scarring has already taken place. This drug is the worst choice. Doctors don't tell you that you'll get osteoporosis,lose your hair, get acne, hot flashes and gain weight. They tell you it's safe and they tell you to take calcium and vitamin D. It is not safe!"


"I am 25 and got Nexplanon back in November.  I had never been on birth control, but I got married in October and my husband and I wanted to wait to have children.  I detest this thing.  It's really not like me to use such strong language, but ever since I've been on this thing, strong language is the least of my problems!  Before Nexplanon, I was happy little me. Now I'm some kind of wifezilla that bleeds constantly.  I sometimes scream at my husband then immediately feel remorseful and spend the next two days crying.  He tries to console me, but it just makes me cry more because I realize what a sweet man I've been yelling at. Oh it's just awful what an emotionally wreck I've been.  I am getting it removed."


"I've been sweating excessively since the seventh grade. I'm now in the ninth grade, and a week ago my doctor prescribed me Hypercare for my excessive sweating. On the first night of application, I felt no burning or itching at all. On the following day, my sweating was cut drastically. I was still sweating and stinking, but it was at a fairly normal amount. I applied it again for the next two nights. It was the same result; still some sweating and stinking. On the fourth day of application, I sweated a little bit in the morning, then nothing after about 12 p.m. I couldn't believe it! This product did take time to work, but I couldn't be happier! I do apply a deodorant in the morning to stop the stinking and feel fresh."


"I was taking 40mg per day and it worked great for about 9 years then my system got immune to it. I had terrible panic attacks and after 2 weeks they completely stopped and I have not had one since. I recommend it for anyone suffering from panic attacks or anxiety. Experienced no bad side effects whatsoever other than weight gain."


"My 11 year old daughter started Vyvanse 5 months ago when she was diagnosed with ADHD.  Her doctor keeps increasing her dosage-we've gone from 20 to 40 mg, but I am not really seeing a difference. Her appetite has dropped, but we find that feeding her well in the mornings and evenings has helped.  She is having problems with friends at school and we have noticed that she is incredibly bossy. She has been argumentative with everyone around her lately.."


"I was on Zoloft in my early 20s, but never found it very effective them. Fast-forward 15  years and every other anti-dep med later, my Celexa pooped out on me and I started having daily anxiety and panic attacks.

It took nearly eight weeks for me to feel any positive effects from the drug. The start-up side effects were terrible - I was sick for weeks. However, when I was switched to Zoloft (150mg) from Celexa, they cut me off Celexa cold turkey and ramped me up to 150mg within four weeks. It was hell. Side effects: sleepiness, anxiety, depression, jaw clenching, dizziness, panic attacks, diarrhea, loss of appetite. Side effects hung on for at least the first four weeks.

I'm about three months in now and feel much better. 90% normal."


"I got my implant inserted about October 2014, insertion was a breeze and the soreness only had lasted me a week. In the months after I still got my period once a month and it does an amazing job preventing pregnancy. I have been in a monogamous relationship this entire process and my boyfriend and I love it. I have a lil weight gain but I would say that its due to lack of exercise and a bad diet (commuting an hour to college 4 days a week). Spotting was a side effect I was always aware of but its nothing out of the ordinary and is easy to maintain. I recommend. Everyone is different and it works great for me :)"


"Absolutely changed my life. I am a 20 year old female who has struggled with depression and irritability since roughly 13. I tried meditation, I tried the "power of positive thinking", I tried listening to podcasts, I tried counseling. Nothing helped me until zoloft.

I've been taking zoloft for 5 weeks. I had minor side affects for the first couple days (looser stool, headaches, stomach aches) but nothing I couldn't handle and they went away after 2-3 days as I got used to the medication. I'm currently taking 50 mg and don't plan on increasing.

I feel overall happier. I'm not as irritable and things that I used to hate (going to work) are no longer even bad. I feel more myself, and like I'm not afraid to be outgoing.

Highly recommended"


"When I first got it, I was ending my period. I ended as normal, but started another period in two weeks. I gained 15 pounds and had terrible cravings and some hair loss. I was a wreck and bled non stop, and when I thought I stopped and had sex, or got ready to I would start again. But in all fairness, all I had to do was go to the doctor and be put on a pill to regulate my periods, after that everything went back to normal again. I lost half the extra weight, and I was tiny before so it's not noticeable with my extra 8 pounds but, i'm at 6 months and am well now. The first 6 though are difficult sometimes if your body is sensitive to change but it is wonderful once you get past it, you balance and you forget that you even have it in."


"I loved this birth control! It has been the only birth control I've been on! The only complaint I have is that my breasts were hard as a rock the first month! I had no acne or weight gain, and my moods are stable. My periods are about 2 days compared to being 5 days."


"After dealing with the horrific side effects of Avonex, and being admitted into a hospital for four days after I was suspected of having PML due to my worsening of symptoms and low white blood count (thanks to Tecfidera), I finally found the right treatment for me. I couldn't  be any more happier with Copaxone."


"Gabapentin (Neurontin) made me sleepy, helped only a tad bit eith my anxiety, and did nothing to help with my mood swings. I might as well have taken a sugar pill as a mood stabilizer. When I stopped gabapentin, I threw up/was nauseous, dizzy, had chills, could not sleep,vand my whole body was in pain for WEEKS- And I even tappered off it, not cold turkey. Dtay away from this evil stuff."


"I've been using Anafranil for 6 years. It has helped me a lot. On occasion I still struggle with obsessive thoughts but have been able to bring it under control both times by myself.  I rated this an 8 because of dry mouth and constipation problems.  Eat your fiber big time.  After several years, the dry mouth problem got better and only returns when I'm under stress.  I sleep well on this drug and did not sleep as well on the SSRIs."


"I was on Loestrin 24 FE for years until they stopped making samples of it, and it was too expensive to buy. My doctor switched me to this pill. I lost 15-20 lbs, moods have been more stable and my sex drive has increased dramatically! The only con was i did break out really bad when I first switched, but now I'm on my 3rd pack and I'm getting my breakouts under control. I'm amazed at the weight I lost and didn't realize I gained it from my old birth control.. This is my new favourite!"


"I'm on first package. I lost a baby 2 months ago so I'm on these pills while I make up my mind about having another baby. All is great but one night I forgot to take the pill and my mood did changed. Also my appetite has lower I had lost 5 lbs in a few weeks. Be aware of your emotions and you will do fine."


"I took Bactrim DS after the first antibiotic didn't work on my sinus infection. I started to feel better after 4 days, however I developed joint pain in my hands and knees. I have arthritis from an autoimmune disease, but it's usually controlled very well by a maintenance medicine. On day 8 I noted lots of swollen glands in my neck and a slight temp. After I took my antibiotic that night my fever shot up to 103, I was shaking, teeth chattering, with severe joint/muscle pain, my face looked sunburned, and my body was red/blotchy. I stopped the Bactrim, but the fever lasted 2-3 days, the arthritis was severe for about a week and I still have fatigue. Good news is ENT did recheck and infection is gone."


"I was on YAZ for about a year and it was a horror trip. After lots of internet research and talking to my doctor I switch to Lybrel. This pill is THE BEST I've ever been on. My mood swings are gone and I have not had any noticeable side effects. Thank you Wyeth for this great product!!!!"


""QVAR makes my asthma so much worse! I have been on this medication for about 2 years now. When taken every day it makes my asthma worse and I feel myself reaching for my Albuterol inhaler constantly.  It took me 2 years of telling them that my "overuse" of the rescue inhaler was due to the QVAR for them to finally believe me."


"I started taking this medicine for anxiety. I was too told that it takes a while to kick in. I'd have some anxiety here and there but for the most part it was doing it's job until a month ago when my life started over stressing with events I could not control and my anxiety started coming back pretty bad. I thought it was good until my doctor wouldn't up the dosage. I am still taking 7.5."


"I started taking Sprintec because my period were really messed up, for my oily skin and for birth control purposes. I've been on it for almost three weeks now, and the only issues I have been having are more pimples that I have ever had in my life. I've been extremely moody! My patience tolerance is so short now. I blow up about the smallest things, and I only used to have these issues right before my period was due. Or I go from being extremely irritated, to sad. I've been getting bad cramps for the last couple of days too, and I'm not even on my period. And also I am feeling really bloated and I go from not being too hungry to super hungry. Otherwise I like it a lot.I'm just glad I'm not feeling nauseous like a lot of girls had on here."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"My  93 year old mother has had 2 respiratory problems in 3 months which required hospitalisation, firstly for 8 days because of a heart attack/atrial fibulation event and secondly for 3 days with more respiratory problems which were eventually diagnosed as  being due to a Urinary Tract infection.
During this second period she was put on APIXABAN 2.5 mg twice a day.
She was discharged before any was administered by the hospital; I was given it and we started the next morning. She was in good shape when she left the hospital but steadily started to decline to the point where she was badly confused, incapable of walking, her speech was almost unintelligible, and her appetite has disappeared totally.
She will not eat at all now"


"This drug works for me but I noticed I need to take it in the day time to as it's made my RLS worse. I have it all day, every day now. The RLS is making my life absolutely miserable. I've actually been thinking my life isn't worth living like this. I've read that you have to keep upping the dose and I'm not sure if that means that when it wears off during the night or day will the symptoms get worse and worse accordingly. Right now I can't relax or rest one bit until I take the half a pill. I believe it also makes me so sleepy during the day I can't get myself out. I just want to go to sleep but can't because my legs won't stop jumping. I'm going to try and wean off and try something else. I also believe it's upset my stomach terribly."


"I take 10mg midodrine three times a day for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.  It has changed my life completely.  I'm able to be active and do all the things I used to avoid.  I go to concerts, movies on opening night, and shopping at places with long lines.  I can date without worrying about whether we're going somewhere that I'll need to stand still. There are side effects - weird sensations and goosebumps mostly.  The benefit far outweighs any negative effects or risks."


"3 stars because it induced a BM. I had been constipated for a couple weeks, not no BMs but few and incomplete with bloating and discomfort. From reading the literature I thought this might work, after several hours. But, wham! one hour after taking (on an empty stomach to decrease systemic uptake) I had a large BM. Great, but then I got severe intestinal cramps. Thought I was going to perforate something. After a couple hours then watery explosive diarrhea the rest of the day. OK, it cleaned me out, but at the expense of great pain and inconvenience.  I'll go back to Senna & Miralax. Perhaps my opioid intake is too high for this? It was tested on people taking morphine equivalents between 30 and 100 mg/day. I take more than that."


"I have been type 1 diabetic for 28 years diagnosed at 12 years old, have been on insulin 28 years, 6 years on a pump.  I joined a research study in Nov. 2014, to test Invokana on type 1 diabetics to see if it could help type 1's.  I am so amazed and happy with this medication!  I have cut down on my insulin a lot, only 9 units of basal for the day!  I lost 6 pounds.  I feel and look great lots more energy.  Yes there is a genital itch problem, I also had hives, which I believe it worth it for great blood sugars and weight loss.  Lucky I am born and raised in Canada where our health insurance covers the cost completely."


"Frova takes away the throbbing pain associated with my menstrual migraines to allow me to get through the day without being bed-ridden.  I don't have to dread my monthly visitor so much now.  I agree with the comment on the pricing...way too expensive for just 9 tablets!"


"First couple of weeks where quite bad with nausea, yawning, panic attacks but then quite suddenly I was able to leave my house go for walks without anxiety, all was good for about 4-5 months(on 60 mg), then anxiety came back, now I'm on 90mg and it's better yet again.

i got severe backpains, and was given tramadol....not a good idea, i had some intestinal bleeding and severe mood swings, vicodin seems fine, so does codein taken with tylanol"


"I came down with a terrible bout of shingles on my head and left side I'm Dec 2016. The pain was terrible and the only thing that gave me relief was gabapentin and effexor. I'm youngish only 38. I have been taking 600mg of gabapentin and 150mg effexor  antidepressants the combination works for relief from nerve pain. I'm nearly six months with phn. In my experience gabapentin is the best treatment for shingles. The side effect I have the most is constipation buy I take a fibre supplement in my morning coffee. Shingles pain is horrible."


"I bought this at my local walgreens before reading reviews. I'm seriously going through hell. This feels like torture. Started out kind of hot, wasn't too bad, tried to take my mind off of it. Once it started leaking out, it began to itch a bit. Again, I reminded myself that although OTC, it is in fact medicine. At this point I just want it to stop. It's burning, itching...pure hell. I rather stick with the infection until seeing my gynecologist again. DO NOT BUY LADIES!!!!!!!!"


"About 4hrs. A night."


"I have had the Mirena for almost three years now and love it. Insertion was not painful at all. Just a little uncomfortable. I bled for two months then my periods went back to normal. After a year they went away completely. I'm very thankful for that. I suffered from really bad menstrual cramps and severe mood swings. Once I got the Mirena my moods seemed to balance out. My cramps have disappeared. I have noticed even though I don't get a period I still get minor PMS symptoms. I would recommend this to any woman looking for a convenient birth control that works. Also I am glad it does not have estrogen in it. Some of the estrogen based birth control gives me migraines and causes me to be moody."


"Hello! I have bipolar 1 with psychotic features and I have been taking seroquel instant release for almost four years. Currently I take 300 mg in the morning and 600 mg at night. Seroquel has helped my depression like other but at the same time has kept my mania and psychotic episodes at bay. Don't know where I would be without this drug!"


"Today is my 83rd day smoke free.  Chantix has been a miracle for  me.  I quit the day before I had a minor surgery.  I haven't looked back since.  While I would not say it has been easy; it has been MUCH EASIER than I imagined.  I rarely even think about smoking anymore.

I was a 1-2 pack, 10 year smoker and never in a million years would I have thought that I would ever get to the point where I would go an entire day and not think about cigarettes.  Its only been 83 days, yet it seems like year's ago that I smoked.  I can drink and be around smokers and barely even flinch at having one.

"


"Hi, I am a veteran of Iraq and have been struggling with PTSD since I got out. I have also bipolar disorder and was thinking about suicide a lot. I will tell you one thing, this medication (forgetting the weight gain) have saved my life! I feel completely normal, of course I am not taking it by itself. I take another mood stabilizer and a antidepressant with it. Right now I take 3 doses of 100 mg daily and I feel normal again!! This medication is just great!"


"I began taking Advair, but after 6 months I began having hand tremors.  I tried Symbicort, but the side effects were too strong for me to tolerate.  My asthma symptoms were improved. I was very nervous and stressed when I tried it twice. I called for advice about the medication and was told that Symbicort, Advair and Dulera are only slightly different in chemical composition.  It was suggested by the pharmacist to call my doctor to discuss trying the other medications. Dulera works well for me now. I do have mild leg cramps. It may be good to contact your doctor and see which medication will give you the least side effects."


"Was prescribed pazeo from my eye doctor for allergic conjunctivitis, It does seem like my eyes are clearer, but it gives me an awful  tasting drip in my throat and maybe upsetting my stomach. I've been taking the medicine for five days one drop in each eye, and was given a sample that lasted the five days. When I got the prescription I was able to use a coupon that brought the price from 190$ to 40$ .... The prescribed bottle was is literally the same size as the free sample I got!!!! It's only 5 days worth of drops and it's a 2.5ML bottle. The other thing that bothers me is what is in the drops... Boric acid??? Is this ok to have dripping into my stomach from using in my eyes? Not sure about pazeo yet...."


"I was switched to Opana from OxyContin because even 150 mg of Oxy a day wasn't managing my pain anymore. Opana was said to work just as effectively at lower doses, with fewer of the miserable side effects of Oxy (constipation, drowsiness, etc.). I have found that to be the case in general; my daily dosage is more like 50-80 mg per day on this med and I can go to the bathroom again without using a suppository first. My pain control started out slightly better on this med, but since I'm a fast metabolizer of opiates, I've started developing a tolerance to this one, too, and the pain is bothering me again to the point where I can't function. My major complaints about this med is that it is very hard to find, and it is costly."

"It has helped me a lot but now I think it's time for a review because the side effects are to many, weight gain, sweating and insomnia."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I am a CF patient that has MRSA in my lungs. Any time I have a flareup, I'm always given oral Zyvox and it knocks the infection out quickly and keeps it away for months!

Great drug, minimal side effects, very rare for resistance to develop, etc. Only downside is the price, but luckily my insurance covers it with just a 1 dollar or so copay."


"This is very convenient but slightly expensive. My major side effect is no sex drive! I had a very healthy sexual appetite prior to going on Nuvaring but now it is nonexistent. I also have crazy PMS, very angry, I actually put it on the family calendar so people can beware.  But haven't had anymore migraines since going on which is why I have to take birth control (regulates my hormones) but I'm seriously considering going off just because of the 2 side effects I am having."


"Used alongside Benzylpenicillin to treat a Peritonsillar Abscess (abscess around the tonsil) caused by MRSA infection and anaerobic bacteria. Was on Intravenous Drip when in hospital with no side effects. Now on oral 400mg with some side effects; nausea, tiredness, metallic taste. It is working well to treat infection. I recommend to anyone who gets PTA"


"Horrible medication, took it for 3 days and caused me severe chest pains, and shortness of breath, ended up in the ER 3 times in one week. Horrendous experience."


"I have been on it for a week.  Presure went up to 160/100, have diarrhea and stomach does not feel good.  Will be calling the doctor."


"Want to give a update.  I have been on Harvoni for 4 weeks and just had blood test for CMP, CBC, HCV and PCR all came back normal.  I must say there is a lot of anxiety waiting for results with this condition.  So relieve they came back normal so I am hopeful.  I have 4 more weeks of medication to take and then more blood test.  Can someone explain, if test come back normal after 4 weeks you are not cured then?"


"I'll have had Miranda for 3 years coming this March, 2016. For the first year my periods were irregular and I would cramp up even during times when I wasn't on my period. This was disconcerting to me but I battled through. At this juncture in my life I'm struggling with adult acne. I'm concerned that the hormones are no longer affecting me as they did for 3 years and perhaps Mirena is the cause for this extreme case of acne. I do love this type of birth control and I believe it's very freeing to not worry about pregnancy while using an IUD. There are many side affects and each affect women differently"


"This medicine is very good for those who can take it. At first it worked very well for me. By the third refill I had developed a extreme allergy to this drug. First sign was extreme itching and severe sweating with dizziness. If this happens go to hospital quickly and stop taking the drug. When this started Doctors can't always determine it quickly enough as in my case. Second time wasn't as severe but by the third time when my reactions started I knew. So please don't take again if you get these reactions. But I do highly recommend this drug for those able to use it."


"Nuvaring has worked just fine for me. I stayed the same weight but I will say it caused me to have a major breakout which is abnormal for me. That was setback #1. The 2nd was, my period is 2x's more painful than it normally is. I will say I struggle with painful clotting periods when I'm not on birth control. I plan to start using the ring back to back and simply eliminate my period all together. I was afraid to use this method but it ended up being great."


"I'm on day 6, lost 1-2 pounds so far...still having cravings but have just started to notice that I need to eat less to feel full, actually last night I ate alot at dinner and felt really sick after, the one side effect that I'm struggling with is after 12pm I'm exhausted, I feel like I need to take a nap and I feel like I can concentrate...this is making me feel like stopping but I will try to continue and see what happens....also a good side effect is I don't want to drink alcohol....I used to drink 2-3 glasses of wine a few times a week, now I don't want it at all. I have no desire to drink? Guess that's good. : )"


"I started lamotrigine as per my psychiatrist to stabilize my anger and agitation from BPD. I tapered up slowly and had no issues with a rash. The more I took it and the higher the dose went I noticed it was helping more and more with my anger and agitation but not with depression or suicidal thoughts. I was crying daily after months on it and could not feel any happiness or positive emotions although it was helping with outbursts for sure.
That's when the physical side effects began. I developed severe painful cystic acne whereas before I had fairly clear skin. This was some deep painful acne that was so painful I could not touch my own face and have to now be on antibiotics for months which is another story. I now have nerve damage at 24"


"Percocet made tonsillectomy pain go from 9/10 to 4/19 allowing me to sleep comfortably at night.

It also works for my migraines as sleeping is the cure and the drowsiness effect makes it easy to sleep.

Finally, my ear is swollen shut now and *very* painful, and Percocet eliminates most of the pain."


"Started my trial yesterday, and experienced the headache, which was quickly resolved by OTC medication.  I am a night shift nurse, and did not feel hungry at all through my shift.  Here's hoping its all it says it is."


"As everyone else I have a terrible problem sweating and can only wear black t shirts or tank tops. I only started using this a year ago and aside from the burning and soreness after, its great. However, I just went to refill my prescription and was told that they are no longer manufacturing it, I went to many pharmacys and was told the same thing. I don't understand why."


"I've been on Viibryd 20mg for about 2 weeks. The side effects were rough at first, to the point I wanted to quit. There's no major markers to show that my depression is lifted, but I'm not sad all the time anymore. The big change for me, is not that I have extra energy, but I don't feel like I'm being weighed down. I have patience with my 2 yr old. If the effects peak at 8 weeks, I can't wait. I'm very happy."


"This drug is an absolute miracle. I have/had severe anxiety from menopause and was losing time at work as well as my general interest in life. Heart palpitations, chest pains, dizziness and shortness of breath. I thought I was losing my mind. I'm taking only 5mg a day and have no side effects. I'm even losing weight. I'm back to normal. What a HUGE relief! I would recommend this drug to anyone suffering as I did."


"Very good results and treatment outcomes for anxiety, and "social phobia.""


"I've been on Cymbalta for about 13 months but after reading many of the posts, I'm thinking I should add this little self-evaluation.  I was diagnosed with autism, dyslexia and hyper-activity in the mid-1960's when research was still in its infancy. Anxiety was a continuous battle and after failing the 4th grade, all I remember was being in a fog. Cymbalta has cut through the anxiety even though the autism and dyslexia are hard-wired as part of my disorder.  I was recently pushed to 60 mg with improvement from my 30 mg dose.  As part of anxiety, you can feel the adrenaline flowing through you at the slightest distraction or obstacle, but Cymbalta has done miracles to cut the amount of adrenaline released.  Coffee puts me to sleep."


"It seems to be helping so far, without having to go through detox."


"I've had moderate psoriasis for over 30 yrs also severe pitting and deteriated finger and toe nails, swollen fingers and toes. After 1 yr on Humira I was 95 % clear including my nails. I'm still doing good on Humira after 4 yrs. I'm probably 80 -85% clear and no scalp psoriasis at all which was real bad. I use the pen for injections. I know eventually it will lose it's effect and then I'll move on to something else. But for now it's shorts, tank tops and a crew cut."


"I wish I'd of known of Librium sooner. Lost my business to a natural disaster and then lived on coors lights for a year. Started as fun, ended months later with arguments and blackouts...then the morning shakes and dry heaves. Drove to the urgent care last week and skipped the line, told the clerk I needed immediate help, couldn't hold my water bottle. In a bed within 10 mins. Blood pressure through the roof. Gave me a fluid and vitamin drip along with Ativan for the anxiety and a Librium for the shakes. 15 mins later, didn't feel at deaths door. Two hours later, headed home with my sister at the helm (couldn't drive, too doped up). Been a week, back to running, surfing and getting my life back together. If you're sick of withdrawals, get it"


"Agitated, anxious, confused, and feel like a completed idiot throughout the day"

"I struggled for almost a year trying finding out what was causing my stomach ache. I jumped from doctor to doctor and both said it was Irritable Bowel Syndrome but I couldn't believe it could cause such painful cramping. But I went to see a gastroenterologist and he confirmed it and prescribed Levsin. I was so skeptical about the prognosis and prescription but my stomach started to cramp one night and I popped in the meds for the hell of it. And the pain went away almost immediately. I'm a skeptic by nature so I thought it was just by chance that my ache went away. So I didn't pay much attention to it. The next couple times my stomach started to have an onset of cramps, I'd pop in the pill (one .125mg under the tongue) and the cramps would subside very quickly."


"A friend of mine suggested Implanon since she had such a great experience. I got mine in July of 2011. I started it while on my period and it lasted for about two weeks with mild bleeding. After that I didn't have a period until about December/January. At that point I was spotting irregularly. Each month since, I've been getting heavier and more painful periods. Sometimes they even come 3 weeks after the last. I've also noticed increased facial/body hair, greasy skin and hair, weight gain, and yeast infections around the time of my period. I've decided that the side effects are too much to handle and I'm planning on getting the Implanon removed."


"This nasal spray works in seconds and last for hours. I had a cold, stuffy runny nose and a constant draining at the back of my throat which cause me to cough incessantly, after taking otrivin all of my symptoms stopped. It can cause a slight headache if you take too much and you can get addicted because it works so well, then after a while you get rebound congestion so be aware of that, and only use it for a few days"


"The pain was in my back for some odd reason instead of my stomach and it was gone about 20-30 minutes after I took the Advil. I could feel nothing for about two hours."


"So glad I found Trazodone for sleep and anxiety issues. I take 50mg at night and finally my constant "on the go" mind is quieted so I can relax and sleep. Have had no serious or disturbing side effects and I've take it for two months. I also take Ativan 1mg (for four years) 4 x's a day as needed. Since my second month started on Trazodone I don't have as much anxiety and can actually take an Ativan " as needed" when as before I was popping them like tic-tacs to get through my anxiety filled days and nights. But, as we all know, we are all different. Sidenote: I can't take SSRIs, they make feel worse. Don't know why."


"I have been on it for less than a week. The first week is supposedly the hardest. I've had a lot of lightheaded effects and a bit of nausea and muscle twitching. The more I give it a chance, the better I feel. I changed it up the last couple days and started doing the 150mg pill in increments, half a pill twice a day. It makes me feel much more balanced. I dont ever remember me having this much self control. It's amazing."


"I use Synalar as the steroid to treat my LS.  My GP prescribed this straight away after diagnosing my condition in 30 secs after an examination. Am very happy with results. Used after Epaderm emollient for washing, Synalar when required and barrier cream to help with symptoms. LS is controllable now."


"I took the 7 day treatment my symptoms felt better but never went fully went away after 7 days I haven't experienced the burning but the itching is still present.  It's irritating because this cream is messy from the start and for a whole week to go by just to have the same results as Diflucan."


"My husband loves that I take Ambien.  He's never been happier.

The amnesia that accompanies Ambien really works in his favor, if I wake up in the morning and he's smiling I know I have forgotten something (something really important :)

But for me it's the best night sleep ever. I do have Ambien amnesia so I have to be careful.

The Ambien CR has a two hour hole in the middle of the night for me.  For two solid hours I'm wide awake.

Zolpidiem is the generic form and I have found I have to take a higher dose than the name brand. Insurance demands generic.

I have been taking it for 10 yrs."


"I feel awful! I have been on this drug for 6 weeks! I have so many side effects

1. Very tired ( no  Energy)

2. Nausea

3. Headache

4. Can't sleep ( even if I take a sleeping)

5 Always feel Hot

6. Sweating

7. Clammy skin (have to the fan on on all the time)

I live in Canada so it not that hot.

Never felt so sick."


"I started off with the mirena and had it for 4 1/2 years with no issues...  Took it out cause my husband nd I wanted another baby!  So now I have the paraguard nd I've had it in for 1 1/2 years with no issues...  First day a little cramping nd spotted for three days very lightly...  This is the best ever nd it's good for 10years , I would recommend to anyone...  Nd it's hormone free..."


"I have tried really almost every corticosteroid medication on the market, including topical triamcinolone and oral prednisone. However, this product is by far the most effective because it immediately reduces the swelling and inflammations caused by my skin disorder, and disinfects the affected area. It also doesn't cause the weight gain and mood swings of prednisone, so it's considerably safer and milder.

The only unfortunate parts of this medication are that it can be quite greasy, causing mild discomfort, and can cause stinging when applied, especially if the wound is new.

I would highly recommend this to anyone struggling with their dermatological problem."


"I have only been on Belvig for 1 week and I have lost 6 lbs but in addition I have cut back on soda 99%, cut out 100% of fast food, and cut my general food intake. I have experienced zero side effects which is a big reason for the high score along with the initial weight loss. I purchased Belvig with the Belvig savings card bring the cost from about 275 to 75.

I think I will update/re review at the 3 month mark."


"I've just started my second month on Apri and so far I am definitely not satisfied! I get extremely bad cramps, my hair is literally falling out, I have mood swings like crazy I've completely lost my appetite and somehow I've gained weight. However, my periods have started back up again (which is what I started them for). This is the only good thing I can say about Apri. I'm not sure that my side effects are worth it at all."


"I have been on this birth control for 4 months now. I plan on switching as soon as I can. I would not even get through my 21 day pack before I started spotting bad. I'm currently spotting now because the time change through my vacation has apparently messed it up even though I've been taking them the same time. I got on the birth control to help lighten my cramps and flow, but I have yet to experience that."


"I went to the doctors 5 days ago  I did it to feel in control of my body.My receptionist told me to take Tylenol before the procedure. ok sure. It didn't do anything.I was truly ignorant about the pain I was about to experience. When I told her I took children's Tylenol she gave me that look of "you're gonna have a bad time. " I took 8 pills of the low dosage aspirin in hopes I would be numb enough to feel only a pinch. N O P E. WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE.  When she was inserting the IUD the cramps were absolutely awful. I was literally screaming in pain. After she finished my body was trembling. I almost passed out twice. Threw up twice and had the meanest poops. I had to lay on a bed for an hour before I could even move."


"I didn't think there was a problem, no immediate reactions, 2 years and I'd put on 1st5lb, without changing my lifestyle. My (mild) acne seemed to improve and it was great being in control of my periods. Then I became moody, emotional, combative and depressed. Really depressed. I had migraines at least 3 attacks a month, I had hypertension. And because I had put on so much weight I was trying to lose it, playing football 3 times a week and 2 times a week to the gym, no big difference and I ate less than my slim friends. I don't smoke. I had Hypertension (185/135 being the highest reading). I stopped taking it and now I feel better, lost 10kg, happier, blood pressure is normal. Now I have polycystic ovaries, I blame that pill."


"Been on Citalopram for 2 and a half months now. For the first week it gave me bad lower jaw pain for a few hours after taking and woke up several times in the night, but this did quickly settle. Also during day 2 and 3 I felt completely numbed to the world as if in a daze, but during week 2 felt like I had awoken a new person. For the next 3-4 weeks I felt on top of the world and like I could do anything. My anxiety is mostly in check but over the last 2 weeks I have felt my depressive mood swings taking hold again at times. Might need to go back for a higher dosage.
Other than that only lasting side effects are muscle twitching before I fall asleep, and I do sometimes wake up for no reason though can quickly fall back to sleep again."


"I was on Soma for over 20 years for fibromyalgia. I moved to a different area and no dr will prescribe it. What is wrong when you have tried every other muscle relaxant and I do mean every and none work ar they have bad side effects and the only relief you get is from soma and no one wants you to take it because some idiots might get addicted???  What about us?  The people suffering because the only med that helps is off limits. I don't get it. It is 1:30 am and I am sitting up because the pain is so bad I can't sleep. Please tell me how I'm supposed to get up and go to work tomorrow and lots of other days with no sleep because of pain. Explain that one to me. Because right now I am very upset that I am suffering over some idiotic crap!!!"


"I have been on this medication for 3 weeks now and feel a lot better and my thinking is clearer. I feel like moving around more and working out whereas before I did not have the energy to do anything. I have lost 7 pounds in the meanwhile. I have had some loss of having orgasms but still have the desire for sex."


"I like Gildess the most out of the pills I've taken. But after 3 months I've gained ten pounds and have been very angry lately."


"I was on Dilantin (300 mg per day) over 20 years of my Air Force career with no side effects and no seizures. I was unknowingly switched to a  generic brand and immediately began having seizures. Attempts to use compensate with Trileptal, Keppra, Vimpat, etc. did not completely remove my seizures like Dilantin. My neurologist is transiting me back to brand name Dilantin so my insurance will cover the cost."


"I switched to Sprintec (because it was cheap) from Amethia after losing my insurance. I began experiencing acne breakouts on my face and very sudden mood swings, which I had not experienced on Amethia. I am no longer using Sprintec because the side effects are not worth it."


"Had Versed for cataract surgery.  OK post surgery but woke up from nap afterward with uncontrollable emotions, terrifying. It's 3 1/2 months later and I'm still having occasional flooding of anxiety and depression. Also had memory problems for 2 months.  horrific experience, I will never be given this drug again."


"I was prescribed amoxil after a nasty bacterial infection in my tonsils. I had tried the z-pak in the past, but it gave me bad side effects so we switched to the amoxicillin. It started working within 24 hours for me. I had experienced slight diarrhea in the past with this antibiotic, but my doctor gave me Align Probiotic Supplements to replace the good bacteria that antibiotics tend to destroy along with the bad bacteria, which is what causes the gut problems. Worked amazing! No diarrhea! The amoxicillin does make me feel a bit sleepy..I napped a lot the first few days. Also, the 10 day dosage is a lot to remember but hey..it worked great and I am much better now."


"Good for generalized anxiety disorder but side effects were bad."


"I no longer feel prisoner to the world of sweets. No stress eating or late night craving as long as I dont miss a dose and my sleeping has never been more restful."


"One of the first reviews I've written regarding a treatment. My IBS-D got to a point where I was visiting the bathroom about 5-6 times a day. When I wasn't in the bathroom the uneasiness associated with IBS stopped me from focusing on anything I tried to do. All I wanted to do was stay in bed and distract myself with movies and TV shows. I spent lots of time researching online and trying various treatments including elimination diets, supplements, various exercises etc.. My GP recommended I try Nortriptyline at nights starting at 10mg dosage and said that it'd take around a month to kick in. After about 3 weeks I switched to taking it in the morning and it's been working wonders every since. Pretty much IBS free and have my life back."


"I had Skyla inserted in early January.  The insertion was bothersome. I had Paragard years ago and I didn't feel anything when I had the Paragard inserted. I thought I would have the same experience with Skyla but I didn't. The insertion was a bit painful and bothersome.  I had a mild cramp after I was done with the insertion but that went away within hours.  I like that I stopped having periods about six weeks ago but I don't like that I'm bloated and my hands get swollen from time to time.  I want to conceive again within a year so I'll schedule a removal for around November of this year."


"Been on it for a month for OCD and Health Anxiety. My contamination fears have diminished but some other fears exascerbated. I feel trippy and have lucid dreams. For the first 3 weeks I was exhausted and had no drive or care to get out of bed. That is getting better now. Going to ride it out and see if things get better."


"Started at 25mg twice a day, then 50mg twice a day.  Definitely helps my appetite!   Easily drop 10 pounds a month when I behave myself and have lost 80pounds so far.  When I went to 75mg twice a day I started feeling in a fog and definitely getting a bit zombie so I dialed it back to 50 twice a day and am carrying on.  I started at 404 and am currently at 315.  I would imagine like anything,  you have to work with it but I am thrilled!  STILL a long ways to go, but I got a good start!  I like it!"


"I've been taking Sprintec for about 5 months now, and I've had severe changes in my mood, and mental state. I used to be a really happy person, but now almost everything makes me burst into tears, or lash out.
I've gained about 10 pounds just in the last 5 months, and I haven't even changed my eating habits (which were healthy to begin with).
My breasts have gotten bigger, and are almost ALWAYS swollen and sore.
The only reason I started taking this brand of birth control was because of how cheap it is.
I'm going to switch to Microgestin 1.5/30 and see how I do on that.

"


"I'm just gonna get right to the point by saying that I'm just about to hit my 12 week mark on Epiduo and it has completely cleared up my acne!! From 1-4 weeks my acne kept getting worse. From 4-6 weeks it was just kinda stuck in one place where it didn't really get worse but never got better. From 6-9 weeks it slowly started to get better but I was still waking up everyday with a new pimple. Then from 9-12 weeks I REALLY started noticing a difference. Pimples stopped occurring everyday, (with the exception of a couple because my period was starting). So for everyone using this product, just give it time to work! And for anyone wondering, I use cetaphil derma-control foam wash in the morning and night but only apply epiduo at night (waiting 30 min after to apply the moisturizer) Also I really recommend getting the epi-tracker app to track your progress. SO GOOD LUCK EVERYONE"


"It relieves my stomach pains due to severe bloating and gas.  It is sedating. Once I take it, if I am somewhere comfortable, I can dose off.  It is a very good medicine."


"Within 24 hours of taking this pill, I became sick and lost the ability to get an erection.  So yeah thats fun.  I have taken several antidepressants through the years and I have never experienced side effects this bad."


"When I used Benzaclin, my skin was amazingly clear, beautiful and oil free. I have oily (shiney) skin. I also had massive acne on my cheeks, very painful. But after I started using Benzaclin the pain went away, along with my acne and my oily skin. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone (who of course has acne/oily skin)."


"I started injections about a two months ago. The first month was an injection once a week. Now I go once a month. The only thing I have noticed is a huge increase in back pain. I had to go to the emergency twice! No one told me I might have pain. But it makes sense, my nerves are waking up. Also I feel seriously bloated. Sometimes my jeans fit fine, sometimes they are tight. It's not vanity, I am fighting diabetes with diet and exercise, so the weight changes are disheartening. Other than the pain and bloat I don't really notice much difference."


"I've been on implanon 2 yrs this month got it 6 weeks after giving birth.only reason I haven't had it taken out is because I don't want to get pregnant and I'm not sure what other birth control would be best for me.Ive tried the pills before and immediately broke out in hives but since being on implanon my periods are way heavier,periods before implanon were 3-4 days now it comes and goes when it feels like.always have random spotting sometimes for a whole months my painful cramps turned into contracions.mood changes everyday for no reason and I have a very very low sex drive .which was never the case before this .no weight gain which i was hoping for .randomly get nauseous. I'm ready to get it taken out..thinking about going on the shot"


"I am 64 I am in very good health but at this age I can not sustain my erection a sufficient time . So I tried 3 kinds of GINSENG   I had a very strong and sustained erection. But unfortunately 2 times I get for 2 days high blood pressure until 17/11  and the 3rd time I get a big allergy with muscle shaking and blood pressure raising quickly  I stop it. So I don't  dare take it any more. Is there a solution ?"


"I think the greatest choice I have made in terms of my health is switching from oral contraceptives to an IUD. I want to state that all women react differently to varying forms of birth control.

Skyla releases hormones locally to the reproductive organs. Within two months of switching forms to the IUD, I noticed weight loss and other systemic effects such as more manageable hair and less dry skin. I never had terrible issues with acne, so oral birth control really dried out my skin.

I have saved hundreds (birth control was only subsidized, not covered by my health insurance) and I have peace of mind due to not having to take a pill every day.

I paid $10 for the actual device, and about $20-40 in preparation for insertion."


"I have had Crohn's disease for about a year and a half and Humira has been amazing. I felt relief within one month and was in remission within 9 months. Life is pain free..only side effect is yeast infections every week and feel like I have the flu the week right before due for shot. Shot is painful for 10 seconds, but it is worth it. Remicade is only other option, using it as last resort. Otherwise very satisfied."


"It has helped me many times."


"So far so good but I am just on it 3 weeks and only side effect is being sick to my stomach shortly after taking it then that eases up. Hard to think sometimes and I take it along with Keppra. Keppra took away the absence seizures but still had a severe grand mal once a month. I am hoping this will take care of that!"


"My blood sugar was between 140 - 160 with both glyburide and januvia. I switched to victoza and the blood sugar levels dropped to between 96 - 110. Side effects are daily diarrhea and occasional "egg burps". I have lost 15 - 20 pounds in 3 months. I guess you got to take the good with the bad."


"I've had Skyla in for a little over a year now and although there is cramping that comes with it I would definitely recommend it! The insertion was really painful! I had to go back a second time because the first time it was unbearable. My OBGYN prescibed me some pain meds and a pill that widened my cervix so it would go in easier. That night I began to bleed a lot and have horrible cramps that lasted two days. After the first week I was completely fine, occasional cramping but I have always had really bad cramps. It has been effective and seems like the easiest most cost effiencient form of birth control!"


"God sent after 26 years of pain and suffering this truly the best gift I was ever given a little nausea sometimes but overall WOW ! Clear in 2 months OMG! THANK YOU TALTZ!"


"This medicine took about 4-6 weeks to really show its benefits with me. I am extremely happy with it. It's made me less irritable, happier, and more hopeful. The only downside is that I did gain about 10 lbs. I've been on it for 6 months now and happy as can be."


"I found myself struggling with the day to day after my partner's gambling addiction reared its head once more & couldn't keep it together to move us forward again.
Put simply, the Citalopram let me keep it together. I could see solutions to problems, I could recognise blips for what they were & not the end of the world, I stopped constantly churning the negatives around in my head.
 I still had depth of emotion - when sad things happened, I was sad - but was able to be rational about the choices I could make.
I was on 20mg a day for just over a year, weaned off to 10mg a day then every other day & am now off it. My life problems are still there but Citalopram gave me the kick start I needed to stop crying & live."


"This is a very good product. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex twice in one day. The next day I went and got Plan B. I started to experience extreme fatigue and stomach cramps, but a week later I got my period."


"Meloxicam worked fabulously for the osteoarthritis in my knees/elbow/and shoulder. I noticed that I kept gaining weight so easily even with cutting back on my diet. It was unusual as I can usually maintain or lose weight. I looked up the side effects since I couldn't pinpoint any other change and read that meloxicam CAN cause
rapid weight gain.  Since I cannot afford the extra weight with the bad knees, I am going to have to stop using it."


"Started taking 20mg before bed. I have fibromyalgia.  I also take 150mg of lyrica a day to make it threw an 8 hour shift. Without lyrica I wouldn't be able to work at all.
I would wake up with my hair being a total mess like I was sleeping restless. My doctor said to start this at 20mg before bed and if that dose doesn't help increase by 10mg until I get to a level that works.
First couple nights have been wonderful. But I have been waking up at 6am both days and can't go back to sleep. I feel rested and alot less morning pain. Doctor is hoping I can go off lyrica.  Lyrica is causing me to feel high.  I get 8-9 hours relief with lyrica and then my pain comes back.
I have gained about 10lbs while on lyrica but at least I can work."


"Ok"


"I started this med on 2/25/15 and my weight was 208 I'm 5'7" and I have high cholesterol  I'm only 28 and I didn't want to start taking meds for cholesterol because the reason I have it is because I'm over weight so my doc told me about this med. It has been almost one month and I am down to 198 that's great 10 pounds in one month. My side effects are dry mouth, but since I have been on this med I have stop drinking Dr pepper every day all day long to drink lots of water and tea I don't crave candy anymore and I watch my calories intake  and I also exercise. My goal weight it 145."


"This is truly a life changing discovery. I cannot express how glad I am that I found this. Prior to propanolol I have had several dreadful experiences with public speaking including being so anxious I literally cut myself on a bottle top seconds before going on. Career in the balance, skin complaints due to stress, overall a truly debilitating cloud over head. Just recently at one of the biggest public address occasions ever I took 80mg 60 mins before speaking and a modern day revolution took place. Whilst I was still nervous I found I could breathe and was not physically shaking. Indeed I enjoyed it!! It allows you to realise how stupid being nervous is and how there is nothing to be scared of. there is hope for everyone if I can do it"


"I was given Zofran for nausea.  I took it for one day.  It took care of the nausea but gave me a bad headache so I am asking for something else."


"Had extreme hives all over my body from an allergic reaction. Took a single 25mg tablet of hydroxyzine about an hour before I went to sleep, and I was no longer itching by bedtime. When I woke up, there were no hives. They started to return at night time, so I took another tablet, and the cycle continued."


"I have been using this for a few months now. Hypercare has changed my life. That is no exaggeration. As many of you out there probably know, sweating issues can seriously affect your quality of life. No more ruined shirts. No fear of lifting my arms. No longer have to layer an uncomfortably wet undershirt underneath, only to have to change it out halfway throughout the day. So much more confidence in simple day to day activities, and a confidence boost for things that really matter such as interviews or dates. The beautiful thing about this product is that after the first week or two, you don't have to apply it every night. Now I apply it 1-2 times a week and that works great.  I have no itching or irritation, but those results can vary."


"My oncologist was enthusiastic to put me on Ibrance due to the reports and fast tracking of approval for the drug.   I was on Ibrance for 6 months and it was a disaster.   The drug did nothing for the cancer.  In fact, the cancer spread a little with use of Ibrance.   The side effects were great.   Normal hematocrit levels should have been 35-45, but with Ibrance, mine were 20-25.  It wiped out my immune system, made me anemic, and provided a whole host of negative side effects.   I know of a few people who were also on Ibrance and it did not work for them.   One of them ended up in the hospital for weeks.  I have had a hard time connecting or finding patients who have had a positive experience.   Ibrance is not as advertised."


"After having surgery to remove my gastrointestinal stromal tumor one year ago, and having a CT scan every 3 months, I am NED (no evidence of disease), due to taking Gleevec. I only have one noticeable side of effect, occasional nausea."


"My advice. Be Extra careful and ready when being sexually active. Birth control is the best contraception! However, plan b was a life saver. It took a week for my body to take any kind of response. I was dizzy and nauseous, and had my period a week later. I was just like you all reading reviews hoping for a sign it was going to work. So much I was in tears and stressed to the max. It DOES work and sit back and relax, let the medicine do its job. It is pricey, but it is effective. Worth the $."


"No side effects, except one incidence of dizziness that passed quickly."


"I was taking pain medication for a knee injury, and I suffered from severe constipation. When I say severe, I mean I could barely walk. It was so painful that I had to get my husband to help me off the toilet so I could curl up in bed in the fetal position. I couldn't eat anything either.
My grandma recommended milk of magnesia. I sent my husband out to get me some, and I took the max dose that was allowed in a day.
I was in pain for almost six hours before it started to kick in. It did soften my stool, but it was still painful coming out as I was EXTREMELY constipated. Then after the major bowel movement, I did have some diarrhea.
MOM got the job done! I can't complain because the pain I was experiencing was almost unbearable."


"This is the fourth or fifth time I've used Flouracil the past thirty years or so.  I'm sixty four, have spent a lot of time in the sun, with a lot of exposure on my arms and face.  I started at age 35, the first time on my face, and went back three more times over the next twenty years, strictly on my face, ears, and back of hands.  The first time, I freaked out after a couple of weeks.  But after the four week treatment, it peeled off and my skin underneath came in baby butt smooth.  I'm doing my arms now (hint: always do this in the depths of winter) but my arms were really damaged, and it's been almost five weeks now.  I look like I survived Chernobyl and long sleeve shirts hide it.  I really recommend this for a widespread treatment."


"I've been on the shot for about 6 months I haven't had a period or spotting except for just recently and I can't seem to use the restroom enough I don't drink that much liquids I've been bloated and having stomach cramps to. I think I'm going to see my doctor to get checked out. Other than that I haven't had any problems with the Depo-Provera."


"I had the nexplanon put in July 2014, after being on the combination birth control for almost 3 years.
I had terrible mood swings because of my body adapting to the synthetic hormones.The first 9 months I didn't get a period or any spotting. Then I started randomly spotting ALL of the time, with unbearable cramps, which only got worse after my 1 year mark.
I am constantly bloated, and every time I eat anything I look pregnant. I eat very well, and workout almost 5 days a week. I'm 5'5 and 120 lbs. I can't say I've gained weight on the nexplanon, but I retain a lot of water especially around my stomach. I have an appt this month to get it taken out and be put back on the pill because of the spotting/cramps/bloating."


"I suffer from obsessive thoughts, anxiety, depression and poor sleep. Mirta has a very powerful effect on me. I break a 15mg tablet in half and half again  to about 4 mg and it still knocks me out all night with a solid sleep. The next day I'm only about 60% alert until the evening when I become fully alert. It takes away sexual drive and sometimes causes restlessness before sleep. However it does reduce anxiety well enough to sleep. I have been using it when I need it."


"Awful stomach pain that lasted hours. Very small amount of diarrhea. Not worth the pain. I threw the medication away it was that bad. I didn't want to be tempted to take it again.Its really that bad. I wouldn't even bother halving the 25mg tablet. Also the fact that it seems to suck the options out of your body I'm in more pain that before  unfortunately I had taken my morphine before this drug. Stay away from it terrible medication."


"I am an 18 year old male. I fond out I had Tourette's Syndrome when I was 15 and I was put on Orap. Orap helped me, my girlfriend says my tics aren't that bad."


"The first couple of months, I didn't see anything wrong with it. But I've had this type of birth control for maybe 9 months now, and it has been the absolute worst. I use to not get over 120lb, and now I am 146lb. I would not recommend this birth control to anyone."


"I have used maxalt four times in the last three months. The first time it worked fine and it was gone in a few hours but had heart racing.

The second migraine I was concerned about the side effects but gave a second chance. I had severe throbbing in my head like it was going to explode and then suddenly the migraine broke.

My third attempt my migraine was so severe that I had to take a second dose for relief! I find that if I take it on the onset it works but still light headache and felt numbing sensation.

My fourth today no relief after 2nd dose. Took 3rd after 4 hours but still feeling migraine. Had slight heart racing and throbbing pain.  I may continue to see if this is right meds. If not, then I think there's no hope for me!"


"I wake up with a swollen face - like I've gone 5 rounds with the champ. Pain and fatigue kicked in and my depression flared up. I think I will stop using this product. Doctor wasn't clear with what this product contains nor was he interested in my other health concerns."


"I have been taking Lunesta for over 3 years now. Unfortunately I can't take Ambien due to heart palpitations and other side effects. The cost of Lunesta just went up for me to $205 for a 30 day supply. I can't afford it anymore and I don't know what I'm going to do. It's the only thing that helped me sleep after dealing with insomnia for over 20 years. I no longer notice the taste in the morning and I can get up in the middle of the night and then fall right back to sleep. No sleepwalking or anything to report either. Just refreshing sleep."


"I cannot tolerate the full adult dose of 2 puffs twice daily. I get joint pain, exzema breakouts, heartburn/sour stomach and irritable/easily frustrated/impatient, (even angry at times) more than necessary.

The dose I can tolerate, somewhat, (1 puff twice/daily) is not really effective every day, with every set of triggers, such as catching a cold, or doing yardwork."


"Works well for asthma treatment but it's not really easy to wash your mouth after each time of use. Also causes ease of bruises and lowering the defence of immune system."


"I have an unknown skin condition (seen multiple derms, no one knows what I have) that I use Biacna to treat (had to go off of oral anti-biotics). My initial breakout from this product lasted 1.5 months and was pretty brutal since I don't suffer from acne. I used the product every other day for 3 months straight but was still breaking out from the product around my chin. My skin can't tolerate being washed with cleanser in the morning so I use a washcloth and water to remove. Almost no flare-ups of my skin condition since started using. Derm had me switch to using the product daily and now 1 additional month later (4m total) I am near-acne free and facial redness I had from the product in prev months is now reducing a lot"


"I started taking Belviq about 3 weeks ago after my doctor recommended I lose weight. I have to admit the first week I was starving while taking Belviq. I also started the paleo diet and increased my water to 84oz a day. (most days..lol) and 20 min of activity 5-6 days a week. I lost 3lbs the first week. I have continued to lose weight due to the combination of the low carb and the Belviq. I do not feel it is suppressing my appetite but I believe it is assisting in my weight loss. I seem to be burning more calories and I rarely have cravings. I do have a one carb treat once a week to treat myself and then I get right back on track. (sometimes a girl wants chocolate or cheesecake or BOTH). I am pleased with the results so far. I feel better."


"I've been taking it for 2 -3 months. I feel like myself again. I feel fantastic, friends and family notice. I have gained some weight , about 10- 12 pounds.  I'm  exercising though. Good thing I was small."


"Budesonide helped well with my flare, but on the 3rd day I developed breathing issues,  The 4th day is terrible and I am going to stop taking it because I have COPD and heart issues.  Unfortunately I have similar problems with prednisone.  I've had Crohn's Disease for 50 years."
