"I loved this birth control, I had it the full 3 yrs. I am 22. The inserting process was really quick and painless and it healed quickly. At first I was a little moody but I reminded myself it was the birth control and I would just go about my day. Only complaint is that being a server/ bartender and constantly having my harms up did become a little uncomfortable after a few minutes but nothing major nor painful. As far as my weight I gained some (actually very little) but I don’t think it was the birth control itself and I didn’t have any abnormal acne. The removal was uncomfortable it did take 20 mins due to scar tissue buildup. I’ve had it out for about 3 days now and feel absolutely fine."


"Worked fast , some tiredness"


"I have used nuva ring for 7 years. It is the only birth control I have ever used besides condoms, so I don't have any other frame of reference, however I have had  such a good experience with it. I'm 23 now and have been on it since I was 15. I have been extremely sexually active since age 15, and have never been pregnant. As long as you keep track of your schedule of putting it in and taking it out, it is fine. My periods could literally be clocked to the hour, I always knew when I would have them. However, recently I have been having one horrible migraine every month the day before my period (the day I take nuvaring out). Which is probably due to a switch in hormones. But otherwise, I would suggest at least trying it. It's been great."


"I hadvery unpleasant side-effects but persevered because I was desperate to stop drinking.  Started on low dose Sept 2014 and built it up till I stopped drinking altogether - effortlessly - 11 Dec 2014.  I have not taken Baclofen since then (though strongly advise to reduce dose gradually as withdrawal symptoms extremely unpleasant and dangerous) and have had no desire to drink since - just relief that I am free of this addiction!  If this treatment could be recognised and prescribed in the UK it would save much suffering but it is a very powerful drug and should be used with care."


"Once you start pristiq you're on it for the rest of your life, and what's worst, you need to up your dose every year. It's a nightmare. You can never quit it, not even gradually. Withdrawal or refusal to increase your dose will destroy you. Avoid it."


"After taking Mirapex for about a year then developing horrible nausea and vomiting, my doctor switched me to Requip 0.5 mg at bedtime. This time, the relief from RLS only lasted about a week. After that the nausea and vomiting returned with a vengeance and I had to discontinue the medication immediately."


"This medicine raised my blood glucose from 170 to over 600.  Also, when my A1c was taken they just put a 13  on it.  After stopping it the blood glucose went down to 390, and I've been trying to lower it since.  The only other medicine that caused this reaction was Avandimet.  The common ingredient was metformin. "


"I had pretty consistent high BP readings. When saw doctor, it was 177/110. He prescribed Azor, and in 6 hours I was down to 130/85. A MIRACLE TO ME. Thanks for this great product, no side effects after almost a year."


"I had a baby and afterwards was constipated for 9 days (even with daily stool softeners).  On day 9 I got MoM.  I did not take the max dose.  I was able to have a bowel movement (what I believed to be 9 days worth) within an hour. My baby is now 12 days old and I still have constant diarrhea and can't eat without ending up on the toilet.  I won't take this again"


"I am 17 years old, sexually active and was first on the normal birth control pill but my doctor suggested me to get nexplanon /implanon. When she told me how easy it was to not have to worry about taking the pill every single day and be protected for 3 years i automatically said of course! i read bad reviews and all but i still decided that i preferred to stay safe and I am not the typical side effect person, after a week my mood COMPLETELY changed! I use to go to the gym every single day at 5 in the morning before school which was at 7 am then et out of school at 3pm to go to work at 4 and get out at 10!I was always so busy and active and loved to work out, after this stupid nexplanon i have been the laziest and had my period for 2 months!"


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


"I'm 27. I have 2 kids under 3 years old. I got pregnant using the pill so I decided to try the nexplanon since I wouldn't have to worry about taking it. It had been effective as far as not getting pregnant BUT it has had horrible side effects for me. 1. Mood swings (I'm clinically bipolar and on mood stabilising medicine for that) it has HIGHLY agitated my moods. 2. Panic attacks/ anxiety. I've never had them until I had this put in. 3. Headaches. 4. NO sex drive. 5. Extreme fatigue. I literally had no motivation to do anything no matter how much rest I got. 6. Continuous spotting for 6 months. I though that these symptoms would eventually wear off as my body got used to he meds. Not the case for me. Had it removed today."


"I now wear a medal alert bracelet because no one believes I'm allergic to lidocaine and they give it to me anyway.  My last experience with MOHS surgery, I immediately passed into a deep sleep and then out, I felt like I couldn't move.  It didn't last long.  First time didn't get it so they had to give me more.  I passed out again but my chest hurt and it was hard to breathe.  No one really checked on me.  My husband was with me.  Third time I passed out and my chest really hurt and I had trouble breathing.  Chest pain lasted a couple of weeks.  I'm 58 and I do not want to die from this stuff.  Doctors do not believe me.  They say I just get drunk.  I was more than drunk."


"I was on the Depo for over 9 months. Its a very great birth control because you only need to get it every three months. The only thing I hated was gaining weight. I was 120 pounds when i started. I now weigh 145 and I cant seem to control the weight. I never struggled with my weight. That is why Im getting off of it and I'm switching to Para-guard IUD next week. It was a great birth control to use, and if it wasnt for the weight I gained i would have continued it. Beware of the weight you will gain with Depo!"


"Was struggling to maintain an erection for 3 months, took 50mg of Viagra, worked in under an hour and it worked, despite the fact I was very anxious. Only tried it 3 times but it works every time. Its gold and my erections where rock hard. My girlfriend said I was better then ever. Thank you Viagra for saving me. Side effects, headache but only once."


"Had pain in my hands from driving to much.  After 8 months or so I found my self in the ER then the ICU of my local hospital.  After a couple scary days and many test it was determined that I had a bleeding ulcer in my esopogas.  Lots allot of blood.  Doctor told me that this medicine most likely was the clulprit.  I would never recommend this to anyone.  DO NOT TAKE"


"I'm 19 and I have no idea what is going on with my body just last week I has strep and now this. The antibiotics I was put on made my "flower" burn and itch. I thought I could handle it if I gently wiped and washed but it didn't go away. I bought vagisil creme to help the irration, it helped some but yet burn. I was then sure it was something more. I bought the monistat 7 today and I used the first application and boy do I regret it! At first it felt fine and like 5 seconds later I had a horrible itchy sensation, and it began to burn. I felt myself cringe and legs together and it was unbearable! I jumped in the shower and washed it out and all off of my area. I'm now laying in bed with and ice pack on it. Good lord!"


"I have been taking it few years now, i take it every night or I can't shut my brain down. I love it i sleep all night and I don't have any problems feeling  droggy in the morning  I swear by it.

I have tried over the counter and natural and nothing worked until trazodone."


"After trying many other medicines, Lyrica is the only one that has helped me with my fibromyalgia pain. It is great. Lyrica has given me a new life."


"I have had my hydroxizine Rx for a while but never took it. Started feeling kind of anxious last night so I took 25mg. I must've passed right out because I don't remember when I fell asleep! I slept very well but woke up with a weird groggy feeling. I also felt really relaxed though which was really nice. Grogginess/ brain fog can sometimes exacerbate anxiety for me so I had some caffeine and that seemed to help."


"I may sound like a commercial here, but I want to share that my experience with generic zolpidem versus name brand Ambien is night and day.  The generic barely works, I needed two generic tablets to get the same sleep effect as one name brand tablet, and the generic leaves me with a headache the next day, and causes depression.  I tried it for several months, because name brand through my insurance is much more expensive ($7 generic - $50 name brand) and I have to say the name brand is far superior. For my experience, the generic zolpidem was awful, I would rate it a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10, and the name brand is a 10."


"I've been taking BC since I was 13 (so about 6 years)
 I switched to Sprintec roughly 2 years ago. I don't enjoy it at all. It does its job, I haven't had any pregnancy scares and even when I accidentally missed a pill, nothing happened. But it has killed my sex drive which is very disappointing. It has also dried me up. I have to use lube in order to be *barely* comfortable during sex. Not for everybody."


"It seem to start out good, then I noticed I was bruising very easy and with my period and or if i cut my self I was bleeding pretty bad. Went to ER one weekend because I felt so bad and my blood count platelets where 53.  I have been battling that for the past month saw the hemotologist today I have been off the med for a month blood count is slowly going back up. Just be careful and watch for the side effects."


"I have never left a review for anything in my life, but because of my experience, I decided to share.  I had unprotected sex on my most fertile day of the month and I was panicking.  I panic even when I use birth control, so I was super stressed out.  I took the pill between 10-11 hours after the incident, and the next two weeks I experienced constant cramps, I was super tired, and my breasts were super sore. I was "sure" these were pregnancy symptoms. Plus, I read a million things on the Internet, like I'm sure you all have done, (or you wouldn't be here,) and apparently I am over the "weight limit."  but here I am, 2 weeks later, and my period came right on time! Like everyone else has said, this pill works wonders. Do not stress!"


"I have had panic attacks and anxiety since my teens (appx 30 years now). When I was younger the doctor prescribed .25 mg xanax and it did nothing for me as a teenager. I didnt take more than a few dosages. Over the years the panic attacks have been become more severe and interfere with my health and life. I decided to introduce xanax back into my life. I have been taking it as needed for 1.5 years. It is not need everyday. Sometimes I take .50mg.. Sometimes I might need 1mg for the entire day. It has saved my life. I am currently working on biofeedback and CBT to better manage the ups and downs. I tried two SSRIs and lets just say they made things alot worse. Prozac was awful. Xanax works with the right doctor and therapy. You are not alone"


"Infected Sebaceous Cyst: Needed to take three regimens of Keflex. Used Floragen 3 as a probiotic. "


"I first took Zoloft (50mg/daily) after my Mother died in 1995. I was on an emotional roller coaster worse than anything I'd ever experienced.  I was devastated, deeply depressed, angry, irritable, suicidal, (all of which run in my family) and didn't care about my usual interests, hobbies, or job anymore.  In combination with 6 months of weekly cognitive therapy, Zoloft quite literally saved my life.  I stayed on it for about 8 years with good results.

Fast forward to 2010: I was diagnosed with Stage 3 lymph node positive colon cancer, and in the last 18 months I've been through 2 surgeries, 6 months of chemo, and all the usual horrible side effects. Another emotional roller coaster.  My friend, Zoloft, came to the rescue again. "


"Was given this drug while pregnant for morning sickness. Didn't help at all, gave me a headache and actually made me throw up a few times. My son was also born with a genetic mutation - Epidermal Nevus syndrome which I'm sure is from the Zofran as it is not approved for use during pregnancy. If I could go back in time I would NOT have used this during pregnancy.
I was also given this drug several times for gastroenteritis with the same result - headache and increased vomiting.
Did not work for me."


"This is the 3rd time I have had to take a prep for a colonoscopy/bowel surgery but the 1st time with this prep. I have to say I prefer this one over the 1 I had before. It is much easier and less painful then drinking 8oz every 15 minutes with the awful lemon flavor. With suprep after finishing the 16oz with it and the 2 cups of water within an hour of starting I had to go. Any time I try to leave the bathroom I have to go right back. No pain, or discomfort experienced other then being stuck on a toilet for hours. I was scared of experiencing the same unbelievable pain I have had with other preps. I'm relieved this experience is so much better. The taste isn't to bad although I did take meds for nausea before starting."


"I got Skyla inserted 2 weeks ago. I took 4 ibprofen before and was not prepared for the pain. insertion felt worse than any pain I've ever felt in my life. Mind you, I have periods where I vomit, have diarrhea, and curl in the fetal position because the pain is so bad. After the insertion, I cried in the room where I felt contraction like pain off and on. for the remainder of the day had cramps that made me fall to the floor crying. I took Percocet I had leftover from my broken elbow a month earlier. that was the only thing that helped. Cramping and spotting lasted just about a week. aside from that, no negative symptoms. I have had no appetite and lost 7 pounds in a week. it could be from coming off the pill. so far I feel good."


"Was on oxycodone 10 mg for a year. Am now 72 hours clean from it. Started taking clonidine at the first hour. Took .2 mg every 5 hours for the first 48 hours. Dropped back to .1mg every 6 hours up until now. I have had zero withdrawal symptoms but I still have problems sleeping. The only downside is that it makes me very weak. I can barely walk. I would take being weak over the nasty withdrawal symptoms any day. I am 61 years old and I was hooked on various opiates back in 80s, went through many detox units and I never had an easier 72 hours than this time. I would recommend it to anyone."


"Threw up constantly on the fourth day of using this. Day two I already didn't feel well. I took off the patch on the fourth day because of all the vomiting and also I had a hard time breathing. Cold sweats, etc. I felt like I was dying. Horrible feeling. I don't recommend this."


"After reading so many people say that Kadian gave them so much relief from their chronic pain I was willing to give it a try. I had been taking Oxycodone 30mg 4 X's a day and felt amazing but they are now trying to get rid of all Oxycodone and Oxycontin because it has become such an epidemic on the street. So, we had to switch to something else. She started me on Kadian 60mg 2 X's a day with Percocet 10s every 6 hrs. The Kadian does absolutely nothing for my pain so she increased it to 80mg and still no relief. I have degenerative disc disease, a bulging disc and fibromyalgia. Oxycodone was the only thing that seemed to help."


"Almost a complete turn around from three years ago - fatigue still a factor at times as well as muscle pain but NOTHING compared to what it was like before taking it."


"I've been on this pill for about 9 months now, and while I love not having a period and no mood swings. I've had terrible acne, breast tenderness (to the point of walking is painful) and I've put on about 15lbs. I've even increased my exercise and gone on a diet and I'm still putting on weight. "


"The perfect dosage for pain. One pill is all you need for 2 to 4 hours but it wears off quick in some pain cases. "


"After having to be taken away in an ambulance from work I spent 5 hours in the ER due to all of the side effects  from the pill. My friend who's a medic thought I was having some kind of seizure. I've had 3 friends tell me they've  had terrible experiences on this pill. I'm definitely switching."


"I used the pill for three weeks. On the first day of the fourth week I noticed vaginal bleeding similar to spotting. A bit nervous because I haven't had sex during this period and and positive I'm not pregnant."


"I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 13, I haven't had a natural period in YEARS. 5 days ago,I started Metformin 500mg a day, and today "Aunt Flo" came to town, not only that but I only down 5lbs in 5days and I feel pretty amazing right now. It has been a GREAT week!!"


"My experience was great! I was so nervous about inserting it in but it was painless. My doctor told me to cough while she was inserting it and felt nothing. I had no pain just felt tired that day but besides that the cramping was very mild feeling nothing really (lasting only 2 days) It’s been 1 week so far and I feel like nothing is there. Best birth control for me. I’ve took the pills before and would forget to take my pills and stress out. Now I’m stress free and so glad I have chosen this form of birth control."


"I'm  not  a complainer but this medicine is the worst. I normally use the regular Proair inhaler and it works great but I  just got back home from picking up a refill and relied it was this Proair Respiclick. I can't imagine it working for anyone as a rescue inhaler. Did they really test it on real asthma patients? We can't breathe well enough to breathe in this medication. I pray,to God they don't try to phase out the inhaler with this joke of a medication!"


"The first week was fine then after that I started getting headaches then comes the nausea in the morning and then I throw up non stop with all that I get diarrhea and dizzyness, lack of energy and appetite I stayed in bed all day today its horrible the worst I ever took"


"He was on it alone, for 3 cycles, and started on the 4th... kappa light chains went up each month, and doubled to over 11,000 before stopping it.
Had been on it with Revlimid, which helped decrease light chains, but couldn't tolerate, due to blood counts... platelets needed every other days and RBCs needed weekly"


"I honestly didn't have a problem with this pill the first 9 months I was on it.  After that tho,  my breasts grow and REALLY hurt every single month then shrink back to normal before my period begins.  I've experienced nausea, super low sex drive, tender breasts, increase of appetite, you name it! I'm paranoid that I'm pregnant every month on this stuff!  I'm finishing the last pack and switching for sure!"


"I was prescribed Ambien, then later Ambien CR, for several years for insomnia.  Wow!  Just like I'd heard about -- take the pill and 20 minutes later I was out.  Didn't really experience "hangover" the next day, but then I allowed myself 7 +/- hours of sleep.  Then, it happened:  woke up one morning and my kitchen was somewhat of a mess but I didn't remember being up or making tuna salad on toast.  That happened a few more times before I weaned myself off Ambien.  Haven't had a good night's sleep since.  I've been prescribed a few different sleep meds but haven't had any success.  Tried OTC diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Motrin PM) with Melatonin and began not remembering simple words, appointments, etc."


"LOVE IT. Best thing I EVER did for myself. I have the freedom to be free and no more FEAR! I have never had children and it gives me light manageable periods, no more cramps, and I lost weight. I was 21 when I had it put in and I am 23 now, 2 blissful years of birth control.  I have to recommend it!"


"I've taken a lot of antibiotics in my life, and I've never had a bad reaction. I took ONE dose to treat a UTI and had extreme joint pain (mostly knees), dizziness, ear-ringing, etc. Thought I was crazy till I googled it and found it this isn't uncommon. A day later I still feel horrible - spaced out, weak legs, etc. DO NOT TAKE THIS and tell your friends and family"


"I'm in my mid 40's and never had kids. I've used the pill and condoms for years. I wish someone had advised me to take pain killers before getting the IUD put in. My GYN said it would hurt me more since she had to dilate my cervix. It was very painful, but the whole thing took 5-10 minutes. I felt dizzy afterwards and was cramping and spotting for 2 days. My 1st period was longer, much heavier and the cramps were absolute torture. Now in my 3rd month, it's shorter and less painful. For those who aren't sure, I'd say it's worth getting the IUD if you know what to expect and are willing to deal with it."


"I was on it for a year. I love to eat. (Never noticed increase in weight gain, always have had same body figure) I wasn't sexually active so can't vote on that effectiveness. I hear it's expensive but the State pays for mine. I'm considering to go back to it. Pros: clear skin (1-2 pimples a day before I start but that's it). No cramps (I've always suffered from bad ones) Energetic. No breast tenderness. Cons: On or week before; very emotional, I never got my period, which is why I decided to get off it. (Dr. said it was normal - I got my cycle a week after I got off the pill.) stated side effects were depression -I've had it, & this possibly increased it a bit. Possibly caused hypertension. Everyone is different. Give it at least 6 months."


"I took harvoni for 3 months, missing only 1 dose which I made up quickly. No side effects at all. Tiredness was equal to tiredness prior to taking. I received my 2 month blood test after treatment & I AM CURED!! thanks to my doctor & his nurse & the manufacturer & the good Lord above."


"I was one of the first patients in the United States to take Benlysta in June 2011.  I had to slow the infusions down to three hours instead of one and half hours.  I experienced nausea and an mild sort of asphasia (a sort of muddled thinking) and a headache.  I was also tired after the infusions.  Each time I had an infusion (6 total) my temperature would rise about a degree and I felt discomfort in the abdominal/ bladder region.  The discomfort only occurred after the Benlysta infusions! Eventually it did turn out to be serious and this is why I'm writing this review.  Though rare, the medicine lowered my immunity."


"I’m posting a follow-up from my original review, which I wrote 4 months after starting Contrave and having lost 29lbs. (If you sort the reviews by “most helpful,” mine comes up first if you’re interested in reading it.)
I have been on Contrave for a little over a year now and I have lost 48lbs. I went from 194 to 146, so from “obese” to “normal!” I started at a size 12-14 and I’m down to a 6-8 (sometimes smaller!).  At this point, the loss has slowed considerably but I’m not struggling to maintain as I used to before Contrave. I’m still losing 2-3lbs a month, which is really just a bonus now! The one side effect that persists is a complete aversion to alcohol, but I don’t mind. As I said before, this medicine has changed my life."


"After three years on different anti psychotics, I started taking this finally to some releif.  I have been taking it now for about six months.  It is still working well for obsessing, but the side effects are starting to add up.  I have steadily gained weight.  Severe dry mouth at first, not so bad now though.   Total anorgasmia fixed by Viagra, and uncontrolled twitching.  It sounds bad when I write it down but compared to the antipsychotics it's much better.  I still feel better than I have and so much happier."


"Recently started this medicine. So far no side effects and I am feeling better after about 5 days."


"Started on a new dose of 225mg 9 weeks ago at first didn't think it was working but slowly each day seems much better. Feel much happier & enjoying life again. This medication does not work over night, it can take a while but don't give up on them to quickly. Hang on in there & you will see the benefits. The only side affects I had was sweating & vivid dreams but these do subside over time."


"Simply amazing. This pill really has helped me gain control of my once terrible anxiety disorder. Sure, it made me gain a LITTLE bit of weight, but my mental health is worth those 5lbs! It's very effective, without turning me into a zombie. I can function normally, and even better than I have in a long time."


"I am a 61 year old male having trouble getting erections. I take 50 mg of Viagra it works great for me. I get hard first time and it feels great, I get another erection later but can not ejaculate I have to wait a few days in between. But it is worth getting erections like in my 20 s again. Thank you my confidence is back. Enjoy sex again."


"I have COPD and at least twice a year I suffer severe flare-ups of the condition sometimes requiring hospitalization. Levaquin is the only antibiotic that has been effective. If I take it immediately upon early symptoms of a flare-up, I can avoid hospitalization. I have been taking it several times a year for the last several years and have not experienced any serious side effects. When ever I've been hospitalized for COPD exacerbations, I received higher doses of levaquin and again, with no side effects."


"Over the last 6 months since I was diagnosed with UC, I've tried as much as 4.8g/day of asacol: alone, with prednisone, with imuran, IV steroids and enema cortisol.

So far, I've only had luck with the prednisone. This stuff does not work at all for me"


"Had nexplanon for little over 6 months and I recently got it taken out due to me bleeding for those 6 months. I hated it. I was very emotional. I would cry for no reason. Plus I had horrible headaches."


"Diagnosed with Hypersomnia.  Prescribed 150 mg Nuvigil 1 x day.  This medication made me extremely talkative for the first few days to the point of annoyance to others and even myself.  Though it curbed my extreme need for napping and did make me feel somewhat more 'alive' during the day, the side effects, for me, far outweighed the benefits. Chills, daily headaches, feeling feverish with no temperature throughout the two months I took Nuvigil.  Daily stomach pain and irritability and changes in my behavior to include sadness and crying episodes, feeling overwhelmed, feelings as if I were 'losing it'.  I stopped taking Nuvigil two wks ago and no more side effects!!!!"


"I am still on Sutent. 50mgs due to slight growth in the left lung otherwise stable. I have battled Ecoli this summer, that I got eating cooked seafood out of town. Otherwise I will celebrate my 5 year cancer Birthday 11/2/2013!"


"I started Paxil approx 3 weeks ago and my life started changing for the better about 2 weeks into it.  I feel my social anxiety dissolving, I didn't realize how depressed I was, but life is starting to look so much brighter.  I suffered with bad pe which made sexual intimacy impossible, and this has pretty much gone away.  I am becoming more outgoing and able to express myself to others and working hard to remove everything in my head which caused my anxiety by talking with my spouse and others in my family.   I am also becoming much more comfortable in social situations.  I sure hope in continues, because I can't imagine going back to my old self.  I had bad nausea and was so tired the first week, but so worth it."


"I've been taking this pill since after daughter was born 18 months ago. I haven't had any problems with it until now. I had a light period that lasted a week in January and another in February around the same time that one was a little heavier. Now it is March and I haven't had a period yet. I hate the inconsistency of it. I've been on time taking it so I know I can't be pregnant. I've never had mood swings with it until here recently. Its a good started pill but I'd prefer something else"


"Mucinex is great for decongesting your lungs. Didn't have any part in helping my Fibromyalgia pain."


"This is very good for my generalized anxiety disorder along with olanzapine. I take 100mg at night, it helps me sleep too."


"This has been a miracle drug for healing stomach ulcers. It took about 6weeks to heal completely. No negative side effects from this drug only positive."


"So I was initially prescribed Lexapro over this past summer. It was supposed to help out with my mood and overall sense of well being. After taking it for about two weeks in a row, my doctor told me to stop taking it and switch to Trintellix, since the Lex was causing an unbearable amount of drowsiness. I stopped going to work because on average, I'd get out of bed after 12 or so hours of sleep. Ridiculous, but I figured it would be worth powering through. It wasn't until my mood started getting worse, like I was running on 4 hours of sleep and didn't study for a final every day. Trintellix has so far been a godsend, no adverse side effects. Unable to refill the trin at the UC, I went back to lex, and after 2 days, the dread was too much..."


"Great results down below but 5 days in my ankles and knees are aching to the point I am having problems sleeping. "


"I have used this drug for 7 months, and I have not seen positive results thus far.  I would not waste my time or money using it again.  I got my prescriptions at a very reduced cost rate due to insurance coverage, and I still would not use it again.  I think there are other options out there that are less expensive and more effective.  I have used one round of Lamisil a couple years ago and it got rid of two fungus-infected toenails.  But I have two more that have not been healed yet."


"After extreme acne that would not go away with anything I tried ..my doc gave me this. Got worse at first and then once healing began, my skin was 100% clear. Few cons...must take everyday or ache comes back hard, cost and bleaches hair/ clothing."


"I was experiencing a lot of anxiety and depression and panic attacks.  My first reaction to my anxiety was to drink alcohol.  Since alcohol is a depressant, that made everything worse.  Now that I am on this medication, I feel like I'm back old self - and I have no desire for alcohol (which should not be taken with this medication anyway).  I started with 10mg initially and had a lot of side effects (nausea, diarrhea, etc.) and was very lethargic, so I cut it in half and tried again.  I can't tell you how much this medication has helped me.  Remember, our body chemistries are all different, so sometimes adjustment have to be made initially.  Now I'm on 10mg and I feel like a new woman."


"I wanted to wait until I had been on this pill for a month and had my first cycle on it before writing a review. I was put on it because of a diagnosis of PCOS and I wanted to try and shrink the cysts. The only side effects I've really had are nausea, terrible skin, and BIG BOOBS. Now for some people, that last one would be great- however, I like my boobs the size that they were lol. Maybe once my hormones all balance out, they'll go down. The nausea only comes in waves which isn't that bad and my skin cleared some after the first two weeks. However, I still have dry skin which isn't something I dealt with before. Also, my cycle was very light and hardly any cramps; just back pain."


"I'm four days days in, and the mood swings are terrible. I have no history of depression or mood swings. Two days after starting I began feeling anxious and depressed. Ease of use is great, I have had no cramps, bloating, or break outs. I can't feel the ring when it's in and it doesn't fall out. I recommend if you want to try the ring, it may work well for some, but keep an eye on your emotions and call your doctor if something feels out of place. Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed that your mood changes! BC messes with your hormone levels and it is better to let a doctor know than to suffer unnecessarily. May be great for some, but this BC is not for me."


"Most of these reviews aren't so good and most of the reviewers aren't giving their body enough time to adjust to the hormones. Your body is trying to get used to the pill so that's why during the first month you may get some unpleasant side effects like mood swing and acne.. I had nightmares for the first 3 weeks sore breasts after that and acne breakouts. My first period on Cryselle was horrible, the cramps were awful but everyone's different. I'm still going to give my body the opportunity to adjust to cryselle. If youre having some unpleasant side effects while on Cryselle talk to your doctor especially if its something serious. But don't be quick to give up the pill because of things like acne and sore breasts. Things can improve!"


"Spiriva Respimat  is amazing.  It has made a huge quality of life difference for me. I haven't been able to breathe this well for years."


"I have been on Belviq for 2 weeks now. I do have a some sleeping problems but it is getting better. I was 246 lbs and at my 2 week weigh in I was 233 lbs. I have changed the way that I eat and have had no time for exercise. I love this pill."


"This medicine has provided effective relief this past year.  Timing is everything. I am finding I need to take earlier in the evening as it may take as long as an hour and a half to kick in. Then effects wear off by 3:30 am or so and another dose is needed to get through the rest of the night."


"300mg 2x 150mg pills both in the morning no other medications.

You can't say this medication doesn't cause immediate effects. I need to wake up 1 hour earlier than I normally would to ingest these pills. Otherwise I could suddenly 'wake up' on the highway behind the wheel of my car with  no previous memory of how I got there or where I am, or how to get where I'm going.(Been in the same city and surrounding for 24 years) puts my head in a haze... makes it extremely difficult to concentrate. Sex drive is almost none existant, can lose sex drive IN THE MIDDLE OF SEX no climax, no build up. Just nothing. Complete lose of interest.

Weight gain, with no appetite.

Emotional disconnection.

Without

Crippling depression, and emotional wreck."


"It worked great for the first 2 years, but after that I started bleeding regularly, gaining weight, and got hormonal cystic acne on my chin. Initially, it was great because I never got my period, but now I'm considering switching to a progestin pill to avoid the weight gain, acne and constant bleeding. I've noticed that it also decreased my sex drive. My roommate had to have it removed because of constant bleeding, too."


"I have been taking temazepam for about 10 years now.  But never for long spells, only for the occasional problem.  It is wonderful being able to drop off within 10 minutes of taking it, and getting 8 hours solid sleep.  I am very aware of possible addiction, and only take it if I have a tough day coming up - long drive maybe.  On average I probably take it only once a week."


"I have bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. I was prescribed gabapentin for my anxiety after my doctor realized that I had an addiction to atavan. No amount of atavan could help my anxiety. I wasn't sleeping, could barely function and was calling into work sick very often. The first night I took gabapentin I finally slept through the night and I made it through an entire week of work without calling in sick. My anxiety hasn't completely vanished but gabapentin has been such a life saver. I'm currently on 200mg three times a day (sometimes I take an extra 100mg if it's a bad day). I highly recommend it"


"My husband has advanced Alzheimer's and has been on 3 weeks of the 4.6 patch. He has become sexually active after months of no sex, but now wants it every night. I'm afraid to get him to the next level."


"I love this medicine! Weight loss seems effortless with being on it. Lost 20 pounds."


"Skelaxin (metaxalone) for Muscle Spasms worked great when I first started taking it. But as with all my meds, my body has become immune to it. It still helps some but not as much. Over all... I think it is a great medicine for muscle spasms. I have Fibromyalgia, but I can't tell that it helps any with that."


"I was diagnosed Thursday with Flu B the symptoms started the night before. The Dr said I would be 150% better 24 hours later. It is now Sunday and while I have managed to keep everything dosage in, it has been a struggle!! I did have a flu shot so between the shot and the tamiflu I thought I would be better off. I have not left my bed except to go to the bathroom as moving my head makes me feel like I have to vomit. I am not sure if I could say this nausea and dizziness is from the flu or tamiflu but I am afraid at this point it may be making me more sick than I would be otherwise."


"I got the implant December 2016, the insertion went perfectly fine and I have yet to experience any problems with it. I also never had a period again after I started Nexplanon which is the only positive thing I can say about this birth control. It's made my skin break out so much worse and has made me start to get blemishes on my back and shoulders, but worst of all I have noticed a giant spike in anxiety and depression, to the point of suicidal thoughts and almost a suicide attempt. I am undiagnosed and always had social anxiety, but it got remarkably unbearable after the insertion, I plan on getting it out this year. I've also lost 16 lbs & am now medically underweight. I would not recommend if you have history with anxiety or depression"


"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"


"All I can say is thanks to my doctor for Viagra!
I'm only 48 but had been suffering occasional issues with not getting or keeping an erection and it was becoming an issue. As any man knows...once you think too much about how important it is to get the erection, it's not going to stay or happen!
Doctor recommended trying Viagra 50mg to get back into the swing of it after the usual checks. He actually said probably cutting the 50mg pill in half would work, but I popped in the 50mg anyhow at the end of a meal out and gave myself the recommended 1 hour. Amazing results, lasted 30 mins on this! Poor wife had to take a breather halfway but she loved it!  Half a pill next time, had slight headiness. Repeat prescription for us!"


"I absolutely love my Nexplanon.Best birth control I've had between an IUD, and two types of pills.  I've had it 9 months. I haven't gained any weight,  I've actually lost 20#'s in 7 months, but I've also been eating clean and no junk. I've not had mood swings, depression and best of all.... No period what so ever!  I agree everyone is different so make your choice wisely and do what you think is best."


"First two week in the lowest those, great! Four pounds in a week no sides effect. Ten days in the 7.5 dosage and have lost 12 pounds, no interest in food. Very dry mouth (use Biotene or something similar). I hope to continue loosing weight until reaching my goal! Side effects are tolerable."


"Product works but the dispenser is terrible. CLOGS up every time I try to use it. "


"I recently tried this medicine and I finally feel better, I will say I have only tried one other and it did nothing for me I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks it helps!"


"Just switched from nexplanon to Vienva and was on sprintec before nexplannon. Nexplannon I only suggest if you have always had very light periods and get ready for maybe a period that's spotty for an entire month. And then going with out a period for a while be then it come back again. Vienva has made me nauseous for 10 minutes and that's it. No mood swings no headaches everything is great. I know I've mentioned 3 birth controls. Now sprintec I don't recommend if you can be a sensitive person because I cried about anything. Periods were fine, cramping a little bit but the crying was over the top for me. That's when I switched to the implant that goes in your arm. Never had an issue until the  3rd year when it comes out. I had a period 3x."


"Accutane saved my life. I struggled with acne since I was in grade 6. I was so hesitant for taking this drug for many years, always scared because I struggle with bad depression. I took 20mg (5'2/f/118 lbs) and that was good enough. It didnt affect my depression whatsoever. I also struggled with eating disorders so was paranoid of gaining weight. I lost weight and ran a half marathon on this drug. Don't let the forums trick you, although everyone is different. When I came off the accutane my skin broke out in AWFUL oil. It went away after a month. Other than that my skin is now pretty perfect, I miss being on it everyday to be honest. It makes your skin flawless."


"I was reading the reviews and could not believe people had so much trouble with oily leakage.  It clearly states that you cannot eat high fat foods.  If you think you can take Alli and continue eating all kinds of high fat and fried foods, then you will have the oily side effects that are CLEARLY stated in the accompanying literature.  Alli works great when taken with a low fat, healthy diet.  It helps remove about 1/3 of the fat from the food you eat.  I have taken it for a month now along with weight watchers.  I have lost 12 lbs. and only had one experience with an oily accident.  That was due to the fact that I went to a Mexican restaurant the night before and ate with abandon.  I knew better, but I did it anyway and took the Alli pill."


"My boyfriend and I always use condoms but this time it slipped. We both started to stress out over it all because I'm 17 and he's 20 and we both aren't ready for kids. I took a hot shower (heard it helped to terminate pregnancies if done right away) and the pharmacy was still open and I took the Plan b one step about an hour later. I had very bad cramps and nausea for about two hours but then it was better. I got my period 12 hours later. Feel a little sick now but nothing too bad."


"Aczone works really well. I had a lot of acne on my face specially on my chin area, upper lip and forehead due to bacteria infection and hormonal changes. After applying Aczone for about 3 weeks I could find difference in my face and it was amazing my face was clear. So, I would recommend this to everyone and best thing about Aczone is it will not make your skin too dry as other creams."


"I have been a type one diabetic for 21 years.  I'm 30 and have trouble getting and keeping an erection.  This medication is working well in making me confident and able to preform. 10 mg does the job."


"For a few days I had what I thought was a pimple in the opening of my right nostril. Finally I softened it with warm water and it popped. BIG MISTAKE! DONT DO IT!
Within a day the right nostril was reddish purple and swollen, my cheek bones hurt, my upper gums were enflamed, even my teeth hurt. There were now 3 more in my nose. I went to urgent care and Dr said it was cellulitis/staph infection, put me on Bactrim (2x's a day/10days) and topical (Mupirocin 2%) that can be used in nose even though it says not for internal use: mouth, nose, ears.
This is my 5th dose, btwn day 2&3. Still in a lot of pain but original "pimple" seems to have a brownish coloring possibly on the way to scabbing
Definitely headache provoking, taking with Tylenol."


"I started on Rexulti four months ago. I take 1.0mg Rexulti along with 160mg of Duloxetine. My first reaction was tremendous energy and a much better mood. The crying episodes have stopped completely.The energy level soon returned to normal and now I am feeling very tired and fatigued. I generally fall asleep right away but awake at 3:00am just like clock work. I stay in bed until 6:00am.

Weight gain has not been a problem although I admit to feeling hungry all the time. The benefits of this drug far out way the negative symptoms. I also suffer from anxiety disorder and Rexulti has helped with that as well. The cost of this drug is very high. Hopefully as time goes on it will come down. My doctor provides me with samples for now."


"Can't tell you how much better I feel!
On Rebif for 4 years always sluggish and not much confidence in my ability to get around, I didn't realise that it must have been making me feel worse.
Now on fingolimod for a month and ability to handle the heat has more than doubled,I sleep better and it's like a fog has cleared from my outlook.
Still carrying on running a small company and looking to the future with a much more heathy attitude."


"I am taking Gleevec after surgery, to remove 15ccmm tumor. It has been 7 months and I am tumor free. The main side effects of taking Gleevec has been abdominal bloating with pain, at times severe. I am able to handle the side effects for the most part, but when it becomes too much, I just reduce my dose for a few days until I feel better, normally or for two days a week. I was on Gleevec for 5 months prior to surgery. It didn't reduce the tumor, but it stop its growth and reduced the density considerably."


"Well I went in the doctors office was tested for any STDs came up positive for chlamydia I was prescribed a one time dose which consisted of 2000 mg of azithromicin I honestly was very scared of taking them reading all these reviews - besides the fact I have really bad anxiety. I honestly thought about not taking them after reading all the reviews but  my doctor said It was already  affecting my uterus so that could  affect my fertility so I decided I had to take them. I'm not going to lie the stomach pain was pretty bad and the nausea, but after getting diarrhea and letting everything out it made me feel much better... don't be afraid just take the medication it would all be worth, and never have sex without protection!!"


"Good strength and quality."


"I've been on this medicine for 9 years now. I take one every four hours, and it is a God send. I have two ruptured discs in my back, and with it I am pain free. Over time you may become tolerant to it, and need more to get the same relief."


"Xanax XR (2mg every morning) has controlled my anxiety and panic attacks since 2008. One of the SSRIs I tried worked (Zoloft), but the side effects were unacceptable.  The XR does not have those side effects and keeps working at a constant dose, though I occasionally need .5mg Xanax PRN. Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy and Mindfulness Meditation have helped, too, but they are not enough."


"works better on a mostly empty stomach. Took 2 bonine 25 mg pills an hour and a half before my flight, felt virtually no motion sickness on the initial flights or connections. It works!"


"Got sample from my MD and was told to take one capsule each day. On the day that I received them I took as prescribed... 30 minutes before meal.

I waited exactly that 30 minutes before I had lunch and 2 hours later I was no longer constipated.

No side affects with my one dose."


"Other than drowsiness for about 45 minutes after taking it,  great medicine!  Works in like 10 minutes,  so if I feel a panic attack coming on I take my dosage and before I know it I'm calm.  It enables me to go into mass public places and can go into crowded restaurants with my family.  Valium has given me a huge part of my life back.  I know most doctors are against it because dope heads have abused this type of drug.  You can only get it from a psychiatrist now but it saved my social life so I see the shrink monthly!  Thanks valium"


"Pain in neck, shoulders, hips, hands and knees gone within a day!  I can ride in a car and I'm sleeping without waking every hour.  It's been a miracle for me.  No side effects.  I'm terrified I may have to give this up due to stomach issues.  I can't go back to the pain.  I feel fabulous after years of misery."


"Ive been taking this about 6 months .. Coming off my paraguard implant which i hated copper does not belong in the uterus ... The first month I started on  sprintec I ended up with a yeast infection.. Im assuming the extra amount of estrogen caused this an body had to get use to it ...lasted maybe 4 an half days... It did regulate my period to when I started the white pills ...now this is my 6 month and I'm started to have two periods a month heavy bleeding too... Although effective not sure why I'm having heavy periods so often now. Another side affect it has made me loose about 20 pounds  over this course of time I become super tired allll the time ... It works but I guess gotta get use to it."


"I love the Nuvaring! Third birth control I've tried and by far the best, I will never be trying anything else. I was on Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo and then Junel. On both of those it was so hard to lose weight and Junel actually made me gain. Ortho gave me really bad anxiety too. Once I switched to Nuvaring, my anxiety went away, my moods are super under control, and I have lost 5 lbs very easily in the past month. The single bad thing is that sometimes it comes part way out and I will have to go and fix it, but it's quick and easy and happens very rarely."


"I went on Yasmin when I was 16, I hated it, the worst thing that I could of done. I was extremely depressed/ irritated/ bloated/ gained 10 lbs/ sleepy/ no sex drive , I would do rather of had a baby and 9 months of normal than go through that kind of depression. we used condoms ever since
Stopping and now we are healthy happy and married with 2 kids, to this day still on no hormonal BC."


"Dentist prescribed 3 for my last visit. He said to take two (1mg tablets) an hour before coming in. Did so, and I have to say they worked well. Wasn't bothered by the dentist at all this time!"


"Hate hate hate it. I had nexplanon put in Oct 2014. Gained over 50lbs and was loosing hair by the hand full. It took over 6months and a general surgeon for me to get it out. Although very full proof, the side effects are not worth it.  Never again. Pills for me."


"Pros:
Onset in 6 minutes,
Perfect sleep (feel more rested despite sleeping for less time),
Absolutely no physiological side effects

Cons:
Blurred vision,
Problems with coordination,
Profoundly altered mind, (confusion, delusions, hallucination)
Retrograde Amnesia (complete blackout for duration)

Powerful, incredibly effective sleep aid, with very few interactions or physical side effects. Solved my sleep problems 100%. Be careful when, how, and around who you use this drug. You might wake up in the morning and find you've called people, written or drawn things, etc, without any recollection."


"This is the first time I have taking this pill. It is due to abnormal bleeding after my tubal reversal. My OBG put me on this, so that it would regulate my hormones and period because I havent got pregnant and its been a year.  I am only taking it for 2 weeks and just finished. I am waiting for my period now as my doctor said it would bring on my period. After it comes I'm suppose to take chlomad. Its going to help me become pregnant by releasing 3 to 4 eggs at a time.The Norethindrone has actually made me lose weight and lowered my blood pressure.It has made me not want to eat but this is my first time and I havent been taking it for months or years. But what I'm using it for has definitely  worked and glad I was prescribed the medication."


"I have had a great experience with the Minivelle patch.  I was suffering with many, many, hot flashes a day and night sweats that left me drenched!  I am down to a handful of flashes a day and the night sweats are gone!"


"I bet all of you who are now on this blog freaking out like I did couple weeks ago. Well let's cut to the chase, it worked on me. Me and my boyfriend got very passionate that day and no condoms where involved. Had sex twice with him. We didn't panic, even if we had a baby on a way we where ready for it.(But don't risk it if you not ready) But anyways we went out that day I ate good and went to store to buy plan b pill umm maybe 6 hours later or 7. That night I was running to bathroom so much to pee. I guess that was first effect from it. Next day felt like someone punched Me in to the stomach .Advil  helped. After a week got my period. Did couple tests no not pregnant. :) If u use it as soon as possible it will be more effective. Good luck!"


"Me and my girlfriend had a sex during her ovulation date. We had a condom on, but I didn't pull out correctly, and some liquid leak out of condom. We were very worry, so we went to buy plan B. After taking plan B she had some side effects from it. The good thing is, she didn't pregnant! Plan B is really a life saver!"


"5 mg helped but eventually it worked less well. 10 mg helped a lot for a long time but I think it stopped working again. No side effects."


"I have been on Zoloft 100mg for a few months now for my anxiety/panic disorder. It has completely controlled my panic attacks, which is awesome. When I first started this medicine I became depressed, had suicidel thoughts, and no appetite. But those have since gone away as well. The only issue I have noticed still is I have no sex drive. Just wondering if this is normal with this drug and if it will eventually go back to normal."


"Strattera is a wonderful ADHD medication if you know how it works for you. For me it takes a solid 8 weeks before the full effect of the Medication kicks in to full potential. When it does. I have a superb memory through paying attention. My Dr. Increased it from 40mg when it worked well but not well enough. To 80mg. Then I had to restart the 8 weeks. Like the 40mg,  I started noticing a difference in 5 weeks. After 6th week it's a perfect mix. Superb focus that seems to get better week after week. I'm glad I gave the Statterra a chance."


"Works when nothing else will. Every time."


"This did take away the pain and got me of the bed it let me do what I had to do. I did not get withdrawals when I stopped it."


"I've been on Sutent since December 2008. First at 50 mg for 3 cycles then due to side effects dose reduced to 37.5 mg for about 3 more cycles but still had problems with my blood counts. Then the dose was reduced to 25 mg so since about 2 years ago I have been on Sutent 25 mg, 2 weeks on 1 week off. My tumors shrunk 30% since the beginning and now I've been stable. Side effects are mild, sometimes a little bit harder but I am grateful I am still here and living a full life."


"I've had reoccurring nausea for over a year now. The bouts of nausea, dry heaving and vomiting only bile would last for hours. Phenergan did nothing, but Zofran, within 5 min (usually) I'm cured. It does make you sleepy, but well worth a little tiredness. It is expensive without insurance."


"When I started xulane, I had many reactions. I experienced severe mood swings, and Xulane increased my depression and anxiety. I also experienced redness and itching at application site, which stopped happening about a month later. I experience nausea, headaches, and severe cramping during times of suspected ovulation. My breasts increased in size and veins are more prominent. They are also more tender. Sex drive has also decreased. My period comes at expected time and sometimes last 4 days-6. All in all, I like the idea of not having to remember an oral contraceptive everyday! I change it three times a month and the fourth week I leave it off. All forms of birth control have there weak points, but I think xulane works for me."


"This is my first birth control, and I am happy with it overall, although the first day of my period I had terrible pain. I've never experienced this pain before... And I got my period 4 days after the last active pill. Not much side-effects besides, my skin is pretty clear, no mood-change/headaches, weight-change. I think I will stay with it."


"This drug saved my life. It eradicated my tumor and made it possible for me to have a much less extensive surgery than anticipated. I had very few side effects and the ones I did have were easily managed with medicine."


"My mother has been on the patch with no side effects at all. She only been taking it for a few weeks but I can tell a huge change in her confusion and she's not as aggressive. The only problem is how expensive it is."


"I just started using Bydureon on 11-30-2012 and this is the first time I have ever had to have an injection, it was easy to mix and inject. So far no side effects and sugar is doing ok. Really have to wait for about 3-4 more weeks for true results but have fingers crossed..I am  52 year old male taking 2 other oral meds and hope to be able to cut back.."


"I had violent vomiting with this medication. I tried taking it twice and within one hour I couldn't hold it down. It's only plus is it does not taste bad."


"Very good for treating depression, although there are some sexual side effects."


"Been on Byetta for 2 years & it is fine except the nausea in the morning after the injection so my doctor told me to have it 15 minutes before my breakfast & it works wonders. No more nausea. I also have it 15 minutes before dinner also. My weight stays the same as I am not overweight."


"Relieves symptom, and heals completely temporarily.  Then lesions come back and need to treat again until healed.  Cycling breakouts."


"Taking 600mg of Votrient. Taken at night seems to reduce the side effects significantly."


"I was recently diagnosed with GED. I've been researching, learning as much as i can about the disorder and the drugs that can help us all. I was placed on Sertraline 25mg for two weeks about two months after a what can only be described as a week long life altering experience of Paxil. I am currently on day 6 of 25mg and couldn't take the side effects anymore. I experienced headaches, dizziness, small panic attacks out of nowhere, chest pain, reflux, nausea, fidgeting, i cant stop yawning, loss of appetite. basically the full list of known side effects. Going to visit the doctor tomorrow to see if I should cut it down for good or try something else.

everyone says "stick it out" but I don't think I can do that to myself or my family."


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


"I LOVE this birth control. It has helped with my mood swings and has cleared my skin dramatically. It has also given me one cup size, from C to D, awesome! I can definitely feel the difference when I get to the placebo week and how I get moody again because is a fake version of the pills. Once I go back to the first week, my hormones are balanced again. Nothing bad to say about these pills. Glad I decided to use try them! Will probably use them for life!"


"First of all, I wish I took Accutane earlier in my life. This prescription changed my life for the better. During my early years of highschool, I would get big pimples that would flare up and make a whole part of my face red and pussy. I used to get large ones that would grow deep beneath my skin and make my face so red and hurt. I was so ashamed whenever this happened (happened a lot). It would ruin my week if it got bad and make my overall quality of life worse. Even though it may not be a big deal, people notice, and you notice that other people notice. Accutane is a great solution to problems that you have with your skin, be it pain or social anxiety. This drug works really well. The side effects are minimal, chapped lips and dry skin."


"My doctor put me on Levaquin to help my sinusitis and also a tummy issue I've been having. So far so good. I feel better already with increased energy but I'm not sleeping. I have dry mouth but solved that by keeping a bottle of water by the bed. Just took a sip every time I woke up (which was like every 1/2 hour)."


"Taking Celexa has helped me tremendously.  Since being on it I no longer have constant thoughts of suicide.  I've been on it for 4 months but started to feel relief in just 2 weeks. I had very mild side effects in the beginning like dry mouth but they only lasted for the 1st month."


"As a result of thyroid/parathyroid cancer, I have a hypocalcaemic and hypoparathyroid condition. Therefore I must take rocaltrol to maintain adequate calcium levels and to lower TSH levels to prevent the return of cancer.  The supplier to my pharmacy no longer has any rocaltrol in stock , and I am in desperate need.  Can you help?"


"I found this form if birth control to be effective and extremely helpful for the busy individual who (despite best intentions of setting alarms and reminders) just may be too busy to remember to take a pill every day or go to the doctor for a monthly shot.

The first four months I did experience varied mood swings and my anxiety rose a bit. Additionally, the first six months my bleeding was at random. Neither the mood swings or the bleeding/spotting was uncontrollable or over the top, however. These two side effects were warranted and expected and with the partnership of my doctor, I stayed the course of allowing my body the time to get used to this little white implant.

Overall, wonderful. Very satisfied."


"I use this for 2 days before  I was able to poop the 3rd day my stomach was cramping so bad and when I didn't go to the bathroom I had to use a Enema to get relief because the poop was too large to come out on its own  but later that day I had no problems pooping twice.  The 4th day my stomach cramped so bad I did poop once, but the pain wasn't worth it especially since before  these meds  I pooped more. But with these meds the pain is not worth taking it anymore.  The 5th day my stomach cramp all day. This pain is terrible when I drink or eat anything it cause pain to my stomach. I will not take this pill anymore. I need to feel better not cramping all day. I never had a problem with constipation before but my doctor recommended this because of the meds that I am taking."


Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray (old formulation)

"This product didn't make the slightest difference, a total waste of money. I won't be buying it again."


"I take this every night (3mg) in the last few years.  It doesn't actually make me sleepy or keep me asleep, but I found it made me relaxed and helped with my anxiety.  I take other, stronger medication to actually fall asleep.  Overall I think melatonin is worth my money just for the relaxing effect alone.   I have never experienced any side effect."


"I have been on Rexulti for over 8 months. At first, I started feeling better than I've felt in years. I had more energy,  laughing more, and generally felt like I was having a better quality of life. Then I started to have anxiety and felt on edge. I feel like I could go postal on anyone. I've said and done things that I would have never done before. I have bad thoughts and have become just so down. I have decided to stop Rexulti. I'd rather be depressed than feel as though I have lost control over myself."


"Please steer clear of this. I was on the injection for about 8 months when I unknowingly had a miscarriage. I never had my period when I was on depo and never imagined I could be pregnant until I was in the ER. It was such a traumatizing experience, I hope nobody has to go through what I had to go through because this injection failed to work."


"I got the Implanon in May 2007 after having my first child. I have had no problems and no side effects. In fact, in April 2010 I got another put in after having it for 3 years.  The second one has been a year and 3 months. I'm considering having it taken out. My daughter is 4 and half years old and I think its about time. "


"I was on Cymbalta for about 3 months.  I can't say that it really did a whole lot for me during that time.  I think it may have made me feel a little more energized but I vaguely remember feeling anxious and jittery along with that.  The most profound effect that this medicine did have on me was my bowels.  For some reason it gave me the worst smelling flatulence of my life.  It was literally unbearable and is the main reason that I got off of it.  Once I got off, the flatulence went away and my bowels went back to normal."


"I take this for mylodysplastic/myleoproliferative neoplasm.  I got a lot of nausea.  Some weight gain.  Overall achy feeling.  It has been working like it should.  Only had to do one up change on dosage. I take 1 capsule twice a day."


"I have been on Biaxin for 3 days now.  I have very loose bowel movements, horrible taste in my mouth, and I can't sleep. I have been eating tootsie roll pops to combat the bad taste in my mouth. I am going to stop Biaxin immediately and call my Doctor first thing in the morning. Up at 2:00 am now, wide awake with diarrhea and a tootsie roll pop!"


"I went from a virus load of 70.000 to 0 within only 3 week.

I recognize no side effects."


"I have been on 20mg amitriptyline for some years now due to really bad insomnia. I don't really know if it works as some nights I sleep ok and others hardly at all. However never felt groggy in morning nor had a dry mouth (unlike when I have taken  zopliclone and other sleeping pills). This week for example has been awful. Every night hardly slept a wink. So went docs yday and he said to increase dosage up to 50mg. Took 40mg last night and will see how that goes. Insomnia is just the worst thing ever, really envy those people who can sleep on a washing line!"


"I've been taking Asacol since I was 8 years old. So far I like how it works besides the cost, I think that it is a wonderful medication, no side effects for me."


"I have a really bad case of anxiety, including not being able to sit, having panic attack after panic attack, not being able to stay at work.  I also have a benign tremor.  I was on Gabapentin, Risperdal and Lamictal.  Didn't work.  My body has the opposite effect of what is supposed to happen for most drugs.  I have my psych completely confused.  I suggested Propanolol to her just to try and after someone suggested it to me.  Two doses of 10 mg a day.  I have been on Propanolol for 2 weeks and OH MY GOD, as far as I can tell this is a miracle drug.  My anxiety is GONE.  My shakes are GONE.  No side effects, except maybe increased hunger.  Hard to tell, because risperdal does that to me too.  I cannot explain how amazing I feel!"


"Ok so it's been about a week since I got Skyla inserted, and I have to say, it's one of the best choices I've ever made. My boyfriend doesn't feel it during sex, I checked my strings today and they're in the correct place, and my period has been normal. I will say that the cramps actually got pretty intense and I was taking crazy amounts of ibuprofen for like 4 days, but now everything is fine. I would TOTTALLY recommend this to any woman looking for reliable birth control"


"Life saver! I feel that I was possibly depressed for maybe a decade or less, but soon after my father passed away about two years ago- I hit rock bottom. I was EXTREMELY depressed. I just couldn't function emotionally, physically, etc. I would sleep all the time. I just overall felt like life was not exciting anymore and that I lost my sense of identity or having a purpose! Not only did my fathers passing cause me to become more depressed, but lots of other MAJOR traumatic stressors hit me all at once too. So, I had and still have a lot going on. BUT since I have been taking Prozac (only 10mg)- I am alive again and HAPPY! I just feel normal. I don't cry anymore. I feel amazing. Oh and no side effects at all! Just happiness."


"This medicine is a God send! I'm 20/F 140lbs and I frequently have pain at the very bottom of my urethra which Azo soothes every time. However it makes me quite nauseous if I don't take it right after eating and it makes my mouth taste strange and chemical-y. If you are considering taking this, make sure you stock up on black panties (or jammies) as it will stain everything."


"I have been on Gianvi for about a year. I was on Ocella but they no longer carry it. I first loved it but now I'm so emotional.  I'm a very out going person and also have that zip and now I'm totally different.  My mood swings are up and down, my sex drive is gone. The doctor put me on it because of migraines I get from the pill but also because I have endometriosis.  I continually take it for 3 months and off for one month.  After talking to the nurse today I found out that Gianvi has more progesterone and less estrogen."


"I have been taking bentyl for a month ..what a god send I take 10 mg two times daily. I have had no issues it stopped the cramps, stools are still irregular sometimes diarrhea I am new to IBS...going to talk to my Dr about what trigger foods cause it start"


"Been itching for days and I couldn't take it no more so I went to the store and got Monistat 7. Within seconds I felt a mild burning..no biggie right..I ran to my bed to lay down. Within minutes..my coochie was on fire. I laid there for a good 10 minutes and couldn't take it anymore. I ran to the bathroom and showered my coochie with water for a good 5 minutes. Never again will I use this product. I ended up using organic coconut oil and got relieved from all this itching and burning. I'm returning this product tomorrow."


"Klonopin has totally reduced my general anxiety, especially in social situations, and when communicating to others. It can be somewhat sedating, and also makes a decent sleep aid, although I've had better ones. So overall it's great though. Better then Ativan in my opinion. I take 1 to 3 mg daily."


"I suffer from chronic pain and take a extended longer acting opiate pain med (methadone 10mg). However I had a dental abscess on the 23rd and was rxd hydrocodone/acet 10-325 in the emergency room and it worked wonderful. The methadone works well for chronic everyday pain but when a sharp,acute, pain such as a toothache ,earache or any kind of acute pain the norco (hydrocodone 10/325) knocks the edge right off of it. No tiredness,grogginess, just fast pain relief. I was also rxd Hydrocodone 7.5/650 (Vicodin ES) a long time ago and I remember it worked well then too."


"Worked very quickly on relieving menstrual migraine pain. Following the instructions on how to properly use the spray is a must. I didn't the first time and felt a burning sensation that lasted about 3 minutes. The second time, I cleared my nose, looked down, inserted the tip, and angled it away from the center of my nose. That time I didn't feel anything at all."


"Had the Mirena inserted in May 2015 to control heavy bleeding after having my second child. My tubes are tied and I have PCOS so dr did not want to do oblasion since my risk of uterine cancer is higher. Insertion wasn't bad, and I had some painful cramping for 24 hours after but felt normal again within a week. Had no period at all in June And around the time my period would have started in July I started bleeding. Not heavy, I wouldn't even soak through one pad a day. A few times fairly large clots came out but I figure that is my body adjusting. It has been almost 2 weeks and I'm still spotting. Noticed a bad odor but no infection. Dr said it takes 6 months to settle so in trying to hang in there!"


"Im18 yrs old and I had sex for the first time today & it did not go as planned. My boyfriend & I used a condom & he finished inside me, when he went to pull out the condom has slid off & some had spilled on me. Instantly, I started crying & freaking out, I'm barely set to graduate high school this year & I cannot have a child. Anyways, my boyfriend & I had  money & he headed to CVS where he purchased  Plan b one step. We went to his house & I was really freaking out because I cant take pills but I knew Id have to make it work. So we got there, read the box carefully and looked at all the possible side effects. I took the pill with a bit water about 2 hrs later after the sex. Reading these reviews makes me feel a bit better, I hope it works.."


"I have been suffering from migraines all of my life, before they made Stadol in nasal spray form, I was at the Emergency Room at least twice a month to get a shot of Stadol combined with Phenergan for the nausea.  Finally they came out with the nasal spray, which was great, because not only could I not throw it up, but since it is administered through the nasal passage, it gave me almost immediate relief.  I think that Stadol is the best pain medicine that was ever created, however, it is very addictive, and your tolerance gets to be higher and higher. People that suffer from any type of chronic pain I'm sure will agree with me."


"My doctor recommended this medication for relief of muscle spasms associated with trigger points in my upper back. This is the first medication that really helps to take the edge off when the trigger point fires up. I still get pain but it's no where near as bad as it used to be. I have had no noticeable side effects other than some mild constipation. One 15mg capsule twice a day works for me."


"This is an update of my use of Seroquel. I have been on 800 mg./day for over a year now. My doctor had to keep increasing the dose due to stubborn anxiety/depression. My moods have calmed down a lot, not so many highs and lows. I do still see a therapist which helps with coping with life stresses and behavioral difficulties. I sleep a lot, between 8-10 hours nightly. I still take a small amount of Ambien just to help shut down the racing thoughts in my mind. I am having a hard time with my weight. I want to eat the wrong things all the time. I'm 15lbs. heavier now then I was before taking Seroquel, but the Wellbutrin I was on made me not want to eat ever again so I was way under weight, 125lbs. at 5"8' tall."


"I'm fifteen, and I started taking Prozac at 13. For a year it really helped, but within the last year, my depression has come back along with cutting. However, I also had extreme OCD, which Prozac helped 100%."


"I have taken prozac for one year and three months. It has helped me a lot. Right now I am weaning myself off of this drug slowly, but lately I have felt mild anxiety due to no sleeping. And also mild stomach problems. I'm not sure if its part of the withdrawal process."


"I had really bad panic-attacks, and couldn't go very far from my home, it was aweful. I was a wreck. I have taken Paxil for about 8 years. Before taking it, I had tried many other anti-anxiety/anti-depressants, with no luck. Paxil along with my faith in God, gave me my life back. I would highly recommend!"


"I have been on Metanx for almost 4 yrs. I do not have diabetic neuropathy, I started having foot and leg pain after back surgery, which I was told was nerve damage due to the pressure on my disc.
I have found relief from this supplement especially at night when the leg and foot pain is the worst. If I have had a active day on my feet doing my dog sport that I love "Agility" the pain will start by late afternoon and sometimes I will not get the relief I would like but, I can't really say if it is from over doing?
I have stopped it for a month at times to see if it really did help and I found it did. I am now watching my sugar intake, eating less processed foods hoping this will help."


"Was on Toprol XL for years which made me overly tired. Now on Bystolic for 7 months so far. Perfect. I have tons more energy and my arrhythmia was controlled along with my high blood pressure. The only side effect I've noticed is that I'm able to keep awake."


"The only reason I gave Plaquenil a 9 instead of a 10 is because I still need Imuran as well.  Plaquenil is a great medicine but it's important to have your eyes examined every 6-12 months to check for a RARE side effect of eye damage."


"In 28 years, after dozens of antidepressants, add on's, ECT's...I've never felt so full of life. Ever. An absolute miracle this was. I was absolutely lifeless. I feel sorrow for having gone so long miserable, but blessed to have been lucky enough to have a doctor try this with me."


"I've had Nexplanon since June 2015. The first 4 months were great, I had no period or spotting none whatsoever. Since November 2015 I've had periods that last for 3 weeks, it would go off for a week, and the week after it would last my regular 5 days. So like most others I would rate it a 10/10 but because of the irregular annoying periods I have to say a 8/10. However it is a good product since I haven't gotten pregnant that is "


"The good:

- Improved motivation
- More stable moods, fewer deep lows
- Improved self-confidence
- Decreased anxiety

The bad:

- (during the first few weeks) Insomnia
- (during the first few weeks) Drowsiness
- (transient) Vivid bad dreams
- Difficulty reaching orgasm
- Forgetfulness
- Emotional blunting"


"I have the Implanon in for over a year, now this is my second time to use it. The 1st time I had it I bleed so heavy with only a weeks break and my moods were all over the place and no sex drive. I got it in again because I didn't want to get pregnant again. I hadn't had a period for the 1st six months now I have started to bleed every two weeks and the abdominal pain is so severe sometimes. I'm also feeling very tired lately am considering getting it taken out if the bleeding persists its affecting my relationship too."


"This medication works wonders for me whenever I feel sick or nauseous.  The flavored tablets that disintegrate under the tongue or in the mouth are very convenient and work really quickly to relieve nausea/vomiting.

The only real side effect from it that I have noticed is a slight tired feeling.  I'd much rather feel a little sleepy than sick to my stomach.

I really recommend this medicine if your doctor also feels that it is right for you."


"I think it's the best birth control around. I got mine inserted April 2011. You get it inserted once and don't have to worry for 3 years. It took my body a few months to get used to, so I had quite a bit of break through bleeding. Though other than that no full period of heaving bleeding since.
I would suggest before trying this birth control, try others first and see how you fair with those. My first attempt at birth control was a progesterone only pill and it caused me to have severe mood swings, so I found out that wasn't for me. Also, your body needs about 3 months to get used to the additional hormones of whatever you take.
So research and know the side effects, before you jump in head first."


"Having taken Mirapex for 15 years, about 6 months ago it stopped working.  I couldn't figure it all out, but decided to try adjusting my other meds.  Then, I realized that I started taking anti-acids about  6 months ago.  Sure enough, the antacid med was causing my problem.  I started taking it at another time of the day, and the problem went away.  Go on the internet and ask the question " do antacids interfere with Mirapex."  You will get your answer"


"I like Abilify a lot because I used to be extremely irritable. I also couldn't ride my bicycle when I was manic because I would not focus on my safety. Luckily, I now only get hypomanic episodes thanks to Abilify. I feel like I am free to get off of my emotional roller coaster and explore the world outside. The only few problems it gave me were akasthesia and weight gain. I'm 14 years old, and I don't know whether I gained 40 lbs from growing, the medicine, or both."


"I have been on Bystolic for two months. I was previously on metoprolol and had to discontinue due to the shortage. My blood pressure immediately stabilized, while on Bystolic, and is running now in the 120/80 range which has not been in 10 years. I experienced some dizziness the first couple of weeks but that has gone now. My PVC's are controlled but slightly more than on metoprolol. The most significant thing is that headaches and eye twitching I was having disappeared within two days of being off metoprolol and on Bystolic. I never realized they were being caused by the metoprolol. I have also switched from Naprosyn to Advil.  While contraindicated with a beta blocker I could not do without an antinflamatory - Advil had less negative effects on blood pressure."


"In about 1996 I started Prozac for 13 years and then it stopped working,  I was on 2 different meds since then but the last one caused excessive body sweating to the point where I could not work as I work with the public.
I just went back on Prozac 3 days ago and I already feel so calm and rational.  When I was on it for those 13 years my doctor said I was the poster child for Prozac as I had no symptoms.  So far I do not have any.
I love Prozac."


"I have been taking Contrave now for four days. I haven't seen a positive effect to this medicine yet. I have had nausea, dizziness and headaches all four days. I have went home from work everyday and slept at least 2 or 3 hours. I'm hoping that this feeling will pass."


"Day 1 on these meds was euphoric. Day 2 was normal and by day 3 I was unable to move I was so sick. I found all these reviews as I laid on my couch crying. It really helped to know I wasn't alone (thanks!). I had stomach like flu symptoms: aching, numbness, dizziness, nausea, a horrible stomach ache, and no appetite. I'd have to give myself a pep talk before swallowing each pill.

But I survived. With some proactive measures the effects weren't as bad. And the problem is gone.

Here's what worked for me: Take the pills with a monstrously big meal. Hard to do when you're nauseous. No alcohol at all but also no fermented foods: kombucha, pickles, soy sauce, cooking wine (best to stay away from Chinese food), and vinegar. Get tons of rest. <3"


"I have had migraines my whole life and I am happy with the combination I am on now of Fiorinal and daily 100 mg Topamax.  I can't handle more than 100 mg (50 mg twice a day) of the topamax without unwanted side effects. 100 mg of Topamax is not enough to keep me headache free. It only cuts down on the headaches and makes them not so intense -instead of 9s and 10s I get 7s and 8s. Fiorinal knocks the headaches right out. If I catch it in time I only need to take 1 but if it's a really bad one, I take 2 and lie down. It has worked great for my tension - cluster migraines."


"Lyrica has helped my fibromyalgia more than I could have imagined! It also started working(for me) the day after I took it. I definitely recommend it!"


"Start the medication low, slow dosage and increase as prescribed and needed"


"I took Levaquin for a sinus infection. It cleared the infection but had terrible side effects. My heart was racing, pulse was like I had ran a marathon. It shot my potassium levels off the charts (had to take medication to flush my system of that)."


"I got my depo shot the 27th and started bleeding the 18th, and it's been 2 weeks and still hasnt stopped. It cleared up my acne, but the bleeding is beyond annoying. What's the point of being on birth control if you're bleeding and can't have sex? I would not recommend this. I'm going to the doctors tomorrow to see what I can do about the bleeding, and then as soon as my third month is done I'm switching to the pill."


"My 15 yr old son had moderate acne, mainly forehead, neck, and around his mouth. The dermatologist prescribed Atralin, as well as minocycline.  These are working, but it really took awhile to see the results, about 3 1/2 months! It's not totally cleared, but looks much less inflamed, and he doesn't have as many breakouts.  He also is a major athlete, so perspiration plays a big part too I'm sure!  So my advice is be very patient, and give the medicine a good amount of time, it also does get a little worse before it gets better!"


"Day 1 for me today. So far just very nauseous, I hope this doesn't last long.. I will keep everyone posted on my experience."


"After about a week it helped with anxiety, is prescribed actually to me for insomnia and I'm on 150 mg works well. I have tried about everything else."


"Made me way too dizzy, just couldn't handle the dizziness."


"I started taking Venlafexine 75 mg daily 5 weeks ago for Major Depressive Disorder. I was first tried on Prozac 40 mg and it did not help at all. For several months I was feeling constantly exhausted, no energy, no motivation, crying, and missing a lot of work. On the 2nd week of Venlafexine I noticed I wasn't feeling so exhausted and starting to get my energy back. I am now on week 5 and feeling like myself again. I'm able to get through work and come home and take care of things around the house. Where before I was leaving work early and going straight to bed. I am very glad my doctor started me on this medication. Before the Prozac I had never been on any medication before. I have had no side effects or weight gain."


"I was on Gianvi for a month.  I found myself in a spiraling depression to the point that I was crying daily. I had terrible anxiety and trouble concentrating.  I couldn't focus and had trouble sleeping. I couldn't figure out why I was in such a funk, until I got my period and suddenly felt better.  I then googled Gianvi and discovered that this level of depression and anxiety isn't uncommon on this pill."


"I am 22 years old and I have had the virus since 2015 .I started Harvoni on February, after 2 months of taken the pill once a day, the virus was not detected but I continued with the 3rd month of medication  and   now I will do the final blood test .I am really hoping that I will be cured because I really want to put this behind me.  My symptoms are fatigue, nausea, headache ,muscles aches, tiredness  but I don't care because  the result was amazing .Don't be discouraged you never know how strong you are until you go through it so good luck everyone"


"I have a bad habit of getting on and off birth control due to relationship status, because I hate taking it. I finally found one that I like Aviane. After feeling really emotional the first few weeks (only reason I didn't give it 10 out of 10), I've totally mellowed. No weight gain at all, and after my third round of full packs, I had no cramping before my period, which is unheard of."


"Took Repatha on advice of my Doctor since I had very bad reactions to all the statins. After injection 3 I blew up like a balloon so badly I could not wear any of my clothes, I was very ichy, had huge red blotches all over my body, did a lot of throwing up, eyes swollen shut. Still suffering after 2 months off Repatha. Do Not Take It."


"I suffer from acute symptoms of psoriasis and Keibners phenomenon with severe itching. I also have asthma, coughing constantly. I'm newly diagnosed with psoriasis so I couldn't figure out what was going on with the severe itching and what was triggering my rashes. After seeing 5 other doctors, I went to an allergist and he suggested to take Zyrtec. I didn't think it would help but it really does. It doesn't cause me drowsiness but it wears off after 12 hrs and my itching from psoriasis comes back. My rheumatologist suggested to take one in the morning and one at night. It helps with the severe itching. It stops my coughing as well."


"Side effect: pacing alot, facial movement."


"Besides extreme sweating (soaking thru tee shirts) 24/7 I don't see what it does for pain besides NOTHING, the feeling of I don't give a rats ass about my life is another fun filled side effect. I've been on it almost a yr, take 30 mg in the morning before going to bed & 60 late in the day. I'm thinking of weaning myself off it, I'd rather take Xanax twice a day."


"Like a couple other users have mentioned, I started out on a small dose and this drug cleared my acne within two weeks.  I am 43 and have been on this medication for 4 months, after 20+ years of failure to control my acne.  I have tried everything.  I had moderate acne with constant blemishes and cyclical nodular breakouts.  I was also always red and so oily that my face would look wet.  Now my skin looks like I've never had a pimple.  I take 50 mg a day and recommend talking to your doctor about starting on a low dose like this.  I have had zero side effects and am nothing short of thrilled with the results."


"I have really bad acne . I'm nt sure if this product helps with scarring to ? But so far it's been 2 days and I see major improvements. After taking the medicine I do get a little nauseous but it's mild so It's not unbearable . I also wash my face with clearasil acne + mask & use the clearasil cleansing pads throughout the week , or when I get lazy . Other than that this is the BEST thing that ever worked for me ."


"I've been on the depo two times now. The first time started in 2012 and I took it for 2 years. I had no problems at all with it. Then in February 2015 I decided to get back on it and the first shot went good until towards the end of it and I started spotting. Didn't think to much of it since I had been off it for a few months I thought it was just normal. Got my second shot in may. It has been a terrible experience. I've bled literally the whole 3 months. Me and my boyfriend can't have sex because that just makes it worse. My sex drive has plummeted. I'm due for another shot sometime this month. Not gonna get it. I actually have a dr. Appt tomorrow regarding the bleeding. I Don't recommend! No one should have to go thru this!"


"Recently I got married and my insurance changed. The new insurance would not pay for the sleeping medicine I have been on the last two years. They said I had to try Lunesta, Ambien or one other before they would approve it. Last night made one full week that I was on Lunesta. Here are the reasons why I HATE it.
1. My mouth gets dry
2.  In the morning my mouth tastes like I've been drinking spoiled milk.
3. I am so very depressed I take anti depressants already
4. I am so exhausted I do not feel like I can function.
5. I do not stay asleep.
6. I feel like the entire world could implode around me and I still would not care.

This medicine is by far the worst thing I've ever been on. I wouldn't even recommend this medication to anyone!!!"


"My first prescription of this medicine changed my opinion of anxiety treatment. I had hope. That was in 2003, I am still on it and it has helped me have a "normal" life."


"Librium always help me make the withdrawal easy to get through"


"I started the medication after suffering from insomnia and general anxiety. I tried citrolpram and basically didn't sleep for a month along with numerous other side affects. I was sceptical the first couple of times I took 10mg to help with sleep and it had no effect, maybe I needed to wait longer for the citrolpram to clear out my system. I left it couple of days and tried 25 mg, let's just say I slept the best I had in a long time. I haven't really noticed any other side affects, maybe this is because citrolopram made me feel so strange this doesn't even scratch the surface. Anyway I'm now to look forward to bed and I hope this continues as it is really helping me focus better at work having more sleep."


"I'm 46 and I have been having menopausal symptoms although  I still get my period.  My doctor prescribed me camrese thinking that regulating my hormones into a consistent level would help,  and it would also allow me to have a period every three months which she considered healthy.  The first month was OK,  I even lost weight, I'm now into my second month and have been Spot bleeding for about 2 to 3 weeks. These last two days I have been extremely tired,  unable to concentrate, work, depressed and with a migraine that will not go away. I have read that these are symptoms of low estrogen. And I now Believe this medication does not have enough estrogen to deal with a perimenopausal condition in which you already have a low estrogen level."


"Started on Jan16th 2017 and today is Feb 8th 2017 so far I've lost 11 pounds but I have skipped days which is about once a week and on my period days. Start weight was 200 and today I weigh 189. I workout out at least twice a week based on my busy schedule. The pill works great on my appetite and keeps me drinking water a gallon a day. I barely consume enough calories usually about 500 to 800 a day and I've noticed on my cheat days I end up losing more the next day. I need more motivation to get to my goal weight. Wish me luck ! 25 year old female 5'2"


"Is an excellent medicine. I'm good because of it!"


"Seemed to work fine for first 3 years, however 2nd time round mood swings are horrendous, weight gain of approx 2 stone no matter how much exercise/diets i never shed a pound, total loss of sex drive, and heavy irregular bleeding - getting it removed now."


"I cannot take this medication.  I attempted to take it 2 different times and ended up with severe migraines.  I was foolish enough to take it a second time to make sure it was the medication.  Worst migraine of my life.  I had to take a 40mg Relpax and repeat the dosage one hour later to get some relief.  I was in so much pain, I paid $108 for 2 pills of Relpax that my insurance would not cover after trying Generic Maxalt.  Words cannot describe the head pain this medication caused."


"I have had the Mirena for about 6 months now.  Aside from the abhorrent cramping that happened for about 6 hours after it was putin, I have no periods, no cramping, no bloating, no mood swings..nothing!  I love it."


"Very effective at 75mg dosage taken once daily. Last about 10-12 hours.  Helped with obessive eating habits and I actually had to get out of bed and clean.  At least I was moving-getting some form of exercise.  Tried Fastin in the past, did not find that anorexic as effective as Tenuate.  I felt better each day!"


"Bad medicine!!! Guess I fall in the 1 percent!  Had taken Benicar for almost 4 years with no problems but due to insurance issues doctor decided to switch me to losartan. After first week had so much pressure in chest and head thought I was going to explode, left leg  started to retain fluid while at work.. Didn't take the next day and contacted doctor who immediately got me in to see him. Borderline EKG results...low heart rate...BP horribly high. Now a stress test and eco cardiogram scheduled asap to rule out a heart attack. What!?! I'm a healthy 49 year old landscaper of 28 years who works out at least 3x a week and the medicine they put me on might have given me a heart attack???  Please be aware of any new medication!"


"Day 3 on BACTRIM due to MRSA. Abscess was lanced and drained 5 days ago. Swelling/Pain of the abscess has finally begun remission. I did suffer from the reported migraine headache all day yesterday and it was quite debilitating,  but no such headache today and I'm finally back at work. Also suffered from some seriously painful abdominal cramps that produced very loose/watery stool. Not much of an appetite today and feeling a little shaky so make sure you eat even if you don't want to. This drug is definitely very effective for treatment of MRSA. If the migraines were constant as others described I wouldn't not be back at work today.

All my best wishes to everyone reading this."


"A pharmacy replace Carbamzapine with Epitol it did NOT control my seizures, I was fearful of going out for my seizures were not controlled.
I got my Carbamzapine and back on it my seizures are controlled totally.
It is an ineffective drug."


"Got it in the beginning of the year. Everything was good for about a month. Then I started bleeding constantly. Haven't had a break from bleeding for about 2 months now. Spent almost as much money for pads/tampons as I did for the out of pocket money for the implant. Hot and cold flashes are terrible. Still have period cramps. Only thing it's done good for is preventing pregnancy and it hasn't made me gain weight. Definitely getting it taken out though just so the bleeding will stop and everything will go back to normal."


"I've been an every second of everyday drinker, (24-30) 5.9% ice beers for a year and a half. I started to have severe severe severe withdrawal's and DT's if I wasn't consuming that amount. I went to the dr. And was prescribed ativan. Didn't do anything. Then I went back and got Librium. Praises to the most high because I haven't had a drop of beer since. Absolutely no withdrawal's and I'm feeling better than ever. 10/10 for Librium. Highly recommended. Good luck!!!"


"I've been in & out of ER for years when a really nasty migraine won't stop with at home meds. I usually get a migraine cocktail with either phenergan & nuban, or benadryl & reglan. Only this time I was uncontrollably vomiting with a hernia & back surgery and needed relief pronto. When they administered benadryl I was fine, then the reglan & within minutes I was literally jumping of the bed high stepping & jumping around the room. Things your body can't physically do after multiple back surgeries.  Suddenly surrounded by 4 nurses saying oh boy, this reaction to reglan only happens maybe 4 times in their careers  (to this extent.) They gave me 3 shots of something to reverse effects, but took over & hour! Now have a reglan allergy band!!!"


"I used this and got itchy all over. I developed red blotches all over my body and it looked like hives. When I stop taking it I get all itchy. "


"Epiduo cleared my skin in a week! A bit of dryness but that was expected.

Stubborn under the skin pimples that I had for months went away within a few days"
