"I was given a cocktail of reglan and Benadryl for a migraine at the ER. Within no time the migraine was gone, but a few minutes later I got an awful panic attack. I thought was going to die. I wanted to rip the iv out of my arm. When this happened my boyfriend got the doctor and she said this happens to about 50% of people. Since I'm so small they started with only a half dose of Benadryl to make me sleep, but after I couldn't sleep because of the side effects from reglan they gave me the other half dose. I am lucky to have had my bf there to get a nurse and calm me, and I'm lucky they could give me more Benadryl. I will not take this medicine again. If you have to take reglan bring someone to help you, but I suggest not taking this at all."


"I only took this medication for two weeks and had to stop. Right away I noticed moodiness and depression worse than anything I've ever taken. Had a very heavy & long period with cramps and nausea. After period stopped- 3 days later started bleeding heavily again. "


"Have three fingernails with a problem. Been taking the medication for 6 months now. One nail is cleared up but not the other two. Seems to help if you lightly file the top of the nail occassionally before applying. Perhaps this helps the medication penetrate the nail. That's the whole problem with nail fungus. You've got to get the medication to the fungus or nothing happens. My PPO plan must be good because my cost is only $40/month with the first month free. "


"While the first 5 years of taking MS Contin seemed to be a better life, my tolerance increased to the point that I was taking nearly a gram a day (1,000 mg). The last 2 years have been spent getting off this medication, and I can assure you it was no cake-walk. I will never use this again, but as I said, when I needed it, it beat every other pain medication I tried hands down."


"I took Ambien CR for a year and at first it worked pretty good except for a minor side effect that left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't let that bother me as long as I was getting my 8 hours sleep. After a year it stopped working so I tried to double my dose. Big mistake, I had to stop using it because I started sleep walking and having conversation with others without remembering anything. Ambien works but be cautious of side effects."


"I was taking Singulair along with Advair for several years. Did not think that it really did that much for me but the Doctor advised me to take it. Only after my sister said she stopped taking it because of leg cramps did I connect the "dots".  I had been having such terrible leg cramps but no one would say it was because of Singular. I stopped taking it and after 3  months I no longer have the leg cramps."


"I began taking phentermine & topiramate about three months ago and have lost a total of about 50 pounds. I have worked extremely hard on my diet and exercising as well. The only few negative effects I have got from the medications are small mood swings, constipation, and insomnia. Nothing too extreme. I am extremely glad my doctor recommended this for me because my weight and life was spiralling out of control."


"Used it during menopause for extreme emotional distress. That was 15 years ago. It was slowly increased from 33 mg to 225 mg due to ineffectiveness. I finally decided after reading up on it that it wasn't worth  the side effects that I had if I ran out or if I wanted to get off. Well, I decided to get off. Please do not go on this drug if there is a chance you will ever want to go off of it. It took me 4 months to wean myself off. This past week was the first week I have been completely off. It has been an excruciating long 4 months. I took my time, but the withdrawal is bad. I can not imagine withdrawal from other drugs being much worse. Feel sick to my stomach, Joints ache beyond belief. Emotionally I am a mess, but I try, I try!"


"I have never given birth before and I m 25 years of age. I wanted a hormone free bc option so decided on getting the copper t inserted. The procedure was not bad did not feel any cramps during the procedure but had cramps for 24 hours after it. Tried to minimize the cramps by taking the highest does of ibuprofen. Had no cramps the next day just spotting for a few days and periods were normal no change. When I went to my doctor for a follow-up found out the copper t had been rejected by my uterus and had to get rid of it. I think it's the best option if you don't want to load your body with hormones. Hopefully will think about it after I'm done having kids!"


"This stuff works great.  I had my initial outbreak last year and thankfully had no pain, just itchiness.  Got the sores and went to the doc- 800mg 3 times a day for 10 days.  Within three days, maybe even two, they completely shrank and i could barely see them.  By the 5th day completely gone.

Few days ago 3 bumps appeared and I got another RX.   On the third day and it is completely gone.

Maybe some gastrointestinal discomfort as a side effect but that might have been to my crappy diet the last few days too :)"


"I've had the implanon for about 6 months and I've bled constantly. I cry very easily and get very angry extremely quick. I have no sex drive. Always exhausted and I've gained weight. The Implanon has caused me to become anemic also. I'm getting it taken out in 2 weeks. I'm going back to the pill."


"I'm 27 and this is my first BC pill. I can be nervous about taking new meds, but decided to give this a try. I like this pill! The only major side effects Ive noticed are some breakthrough bleeding (which wasnt severe or a big deal for me) and sore boobs. Slightly reduced sex drive.

I like this pill cause it's a low dose and I honestly don't feel very different from when I wasn't on it. Everyone is different, but Would recommend trying it."


"I have been having severe back and neck pain for years and was taking ibuprofen 24 hours a day. My doctor told me that was very bad for my stomach and to use the Voltaren Gel instead and I found it to be wonderful, comfortable and it smells nice. Two days after I started using the Voltaren Gel I was so much more comfortable and now I alternate the ibuprofen 200 with the Gel and only use the Ibuprofen 200 two times a day. I can sleep a whole night. My back condition is in the muscles and and they are in spasm much of the time. Voltaren calms the spasms down and makes the pain tolerable. I am so glad to have found it."


"I need a root canal, given tylenol #3 until appointment, still in sooo much pain. Took two and still feel like havnt taken anything"


"Rubbish! It did absolutely nothing..."


"So I took the 4 pink pills at the clinic was feeling great that I am getting rid of this infection. 1 hour later I had ate a sandwich like 30 mins later man did I feel nauseous as if I had eaten something really greasy. I felt it in my throat, it wasn't like I had to throw up but I had the sensation. I didn't want to throw up cause hey I already took this pills don't wanna ruin the effect. Then I got the sensation I had to poo bad I got diahrrea lets just hope this pills work!!! side effects caught me off guard cause this is my first time experiencing this. but hope my review helps others going through the same!"


"I have been on Saxenda for 5 days and lost 9 lbs with no side effects. I am continuing for the remaining 9 days and will definitely continue until I am closer to my desired weight."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"So far it's been a lot better than I expected. I have been dreading going on hormonal birth control, but after a failed experience with my Paragard IUD, I gave Beyaz a try. I haven't gained any weight at all- this was my biggest fear and I'm so happy it didn't come true. My stomach is flat and unbloated. My boobs have increased in size- they just feel nice and full but not sore! Sometimes I do feel a little blue, and my sex drive is definitely lower. My libido is at about 90% when I am with my boyfriend. My acne has gotten much worse, but they say this happens at first and then clear skin follows. Period has been light and no cramps!"


"40 y/o, white female, moderately active.  So far I'm happy with this medicine.  Bystolic brought my blood pressure down from 200/110 to 124/74 and my heart rate from 120 to 48 on 10 mg (and 1mg of Guanfacine). I have gained about 4 or 5 lbs. during the 2 months I've been on it, but I can honestly say some of that is my own fault.  I, too, have experienced a calming effect.  Aside from the gained lbs. I have no complaints."


"Have been taking this for near on 2 months. Firstly 15mg which helps me sleep, psychiatrist upped the dose to 30mg which keeps me awake. I have a very high metabolism and have been between 8 and 8 and a half stone for as long as I can remember. I have gained 3 stone and am now near on 11 stone and can never feed my appetite. I am constantly hungry and people keep asking if I'm pregnant as my stomach looks bigger than my friend who is 26 weeks gone! would recommend for sleep but not if you don't want to gain a ton of weight!"


"I felt the need to write something because it seems like this gets several bad reviews.

I will say the first few weeks were pretty bad.  Spotting and cramps but that's it - once I got used to the hormones, it's been smooth sailing ever since.  Expect to spot on this (like every other BC I'd bet) but doubling-up for a few days stops that.  No mood swings and cleared up minor acne so I recommend trying it for yourself!  Everyone has different reactions, I did."


"Having been told over 12 yrs ago that I had ADHD I have tried several medicines. The main one I used is Adderall 30mg twice a day. This has proven very effective. Having tried both Provigil and Nuvigil both I believe Nuvigil to be the better of the two. None of the traditional side effects of speed and Nuvigil is very clean. So much so and I know this sounds goofy but you don't even realize it's working until you shake your head an realize how focused, alert and clear thinking you have been."


"I've decided to get IUD after the birth of my 2nd child
So on August 18th 2017 I finally got it, I wish I hadn't have as
I've been bleeding since and lots of cramping feeling lazy, moody having no energy at all and sleeping all the time "


"Controlled my thought process, moods and hallucinations, helped my insomnia."


"I had a terrible reaction to Cymbalta called Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome.  Stiff muscles, couldn't stand let alone walk to the phone, couldn't feel my hands and feet, fever, blood pressure through the roof. After a family member found me on the floor drooling I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.  I realize this is a rare side effect, but it does happen.  What's great for one person may not be great for the next."


"I took zovia for one month. After one week of being on the medication, I  felt awful. I was getting headaches and nausea. On top of that I had nonstop cravings. I had to go off of it!"


"I was prescribed this medicine for my morning sickness. I haven't been able to get out of bed since I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. This medicine does help me to not feel nauseous, but the side effects are terrible. I feel as if I've been given a heavy sedative. I started with the prescribed does of two pills at bedtime. When I woke up the following day I could barely lift my head off the pillow and was in and out of strange drug enduced sleep all day. I tried taking the medication again but only taking one pill. The effects were the same and I felt like I was on heavy drugs. Tried for a 3rd time but only a half pill. Same outcome. Can't get out of bed, foggy and in and out of sleep."


"I started on Stelara in December 2012 after trying everything from creams to Methotrexate to Enbrel. While Enbrel mostly worked after about 4 months everywhere on my body except my elbows it started losing it's effectiveness after about 6 months, with Psoriasis cropping up on my scalp and other places. My doctor put me on 25mg Stelara and I noticed results almost immediately. My elbows are still my problem area, while the area fades nicely it flares up again after about a month, so waiting 2 months for another injection is awful. My nurse is going to ask if we can increase my dosage to hopefully keep the results for a full 3 months. I have a great benefit plan that covers me 100%."


"I had sex (first time) May 31st. Although, he didn't cum inside of me, we thought we should be safe! So that same day (earlier) at 11 almost 12. I bought and took the plan b pill. I took it with water only and was fine. (I don't have a sensitive stomach). I had no side effects. 5 days after taking it. I had a period like bleeding (one of the side effects of the pill) that lasted 5 days (like my normal period would). I also had a fever. (Rare side effect). I had all my symptoms as well. Uterus Cramps, Farting (weird, I know). And lower back pain. After that. I had no other things happen. Until, June 25 when I started my period! It's a little off. (None of my norm period symptoms). It works! Relax. Don't stress. You'll be fine."


"I suffer from medical anxiety.  I first tried Paxil - itched like crazy.  Then lexapro - shook all the time.  Cymbalta has changed my life.  I feel so much better now, and almost back to 'normal' after 5 weeks on the medication.  I have a little insomnia, and have lost a few pounds, but other than that I feel like I'm 30 again, instead of 50!"


"I experienced very high levels of pain in my upper back over the course of six months, with hand tremors and trouble swallowing. Muscle and joint pain followed. Tests for many conditions are negative, including rheumatoid arthritis, but we are still looking. Diclofenac was prescribed, and over the course of two weeks, the pain faded. I felt like a human being. I did not experience negative side effects. On the contrary, I did not suffer any of my standard migraines.

Unfortunately, after 8 months, the VA hospital changed vendors and the new brand of Diclofenac was not effective.  In the week following the change, I suffered all previous symptoms along with a migraine and upsurge in depression symptoms. Very frustrating. Still trying to sort it out."


"The drug is working miraculously well to alleviate social anxiety disorder acquired by a traumatic brain injury.

However, the nausea side-effect makes it almost worth quitting. Often borderline to vomiting with it.

An inadvertent side effect, this drug may improve cognition. A meta-analysis of clinical trials (Rosenblat, Kakar, McIntyre, 2015) posted in PubMed found that it improved psychomotor speed by 34% (P=.0001) and delayed recall by 24% (P=0.0007)."


"This is my first month taking it. My skin actually looks clearer. Lost 2 lbs since starting. Periods were always painful for me but not since taking this. Hardly any pain this time. I'm feeling lighter. I've actually lost my appetite a little. My skin has been feeling a little "crawly" every now and then since starting these pills. I keep thinking a bug is on me. I've been feeling a little more tired than usual as well so I've started taking energy shots. As far as my mood goes, I'm feeling slightly more aggressive. All in all, I'm happy with the results so far. I just hope things stay this way!"


"Found out I had ADHD my sophomore year & was put on this pill. Started at 36mg and I could definitely see changes. Very moody, could not go to sleep at night, I always so jumpy and on the go, but I will have to say it helped A LOT with my troubles on paying attention in school. Went from D's & F's to an honor roll student. The only thing that's really scary for most people is the weight loss it can cause. I weighed 130 my freshman year and in the middle of my junior year I was 94 pounds. So you really have to watch that!"


"I finally feel more mentally stable! I've been on this for a week and a half and I already noticed a HUGE difference like ...I'm in serious shock. This is like a miracle. I've been diagnosed with depression, and every type of anxiety. I am now more talkative, I have way more patience & I just feel so happy. Like I feel normal. And I had little to no side effects. I did 5mg for a week then upped to 10mg three days ago and since I started all I felt was more tired but that went away in the first 3 days. The first day though I took a nap after I took it and I lost my appetite for the night and I felt a bit shaky for 2 secs but after that everything was normal."


"I have been on clonazepam for almost 6 weeks and it has made me feel calmer then I was before taking it."


"I've had migraines for over 30 years and have tried so many things. My doctor started me on Verapamil 240mg 3 weeks ago. I've had no relief. If anything my migraines have been more intense. This was pretty much my last chance as I have tried everything else. I average 12 to 15 migraines a month and am so tired of them. I was so hoping this would work. I'm going to give it a little longer but am getting night sweats and dizziness from it."


"I have been on Levora for 2 years, it definitely works in regards to being pregnant. My appetite has not increased to badly. I have only gained about 5 pounds. Levora seems to keep my acne in check. My periods are a lot lighter. The only problem I have is my sex drive is pretty much non-existent. It's become such a problem that I will be switching birth controls."


"They work!"


"Propranolol truly has changed my professional life.  For the last few years during presentations my heart would beat so fast I felt as if I was going to have a heart attack, during the presentation my voice would shake so bad it would sound like I was about to cry, and I would not even be able to focus on what I was talking about. I take 40 mg of Propranolol about 1 hr before presenting. So far I have used it for two major presentations and one interview and it was worked wonderfully. You definitely still feel the nerves the day leading up to the presentation, all those physical symptoms are gone and I feel so comfortable I can even improvise and think on the spot, something i could never dream of doing before."


"This was not the answer for me, I developed a bad rash and itching over my entire body and now my ears ring and that will never go away. Just from taking it for under a month."


"I love Nexplanon. I got it in August 2013 when I was 18 and it's currently September 2014. The week I got it implanted I had my period for a few days and have not had my period since. That's one year with out periods. It's fantastic. I haven't experienced weight gain or moodiness or any other symptoms. I think it's extremely effective."


"Off it completely for 2 days now. Acid reflux much better and more importantly no Pronounced heart beats or racing. Feeling normal again thank God. I truly believe after my experience with both Niaspan and Crestor is that they actually starve your heart of the Oxygen it needs if your an athlete. Heart rate problems or potential Arrhythmia's may not be revealed in people who have more sedentary lifestyles. The fact that the new recommendation is to stack COQ10 with the statins should prove that they can rob your heart of energy when you work it hard during intense exercise. "


"This medicine has saved my husbands life! He went in to heart failure & had a EF of 10% in 2011. With 16 days hospitalization & discharged with this medication and a few more he has thrived and continues to do well today."


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


"I never really review anything, but I have to for this because I know how stressed out I was and reading the reviews on here helped me so much and honestly allowed me to have hope. I had sex at 1:00am with my friend and without a condom and I wasn't on b.c either (stupid I know). He didn't finish in me, but I was still so scared because I knew about precum. I took the plan b pill ten hours later and began having all the pregnancy symptoms like bloating, tender breasts, nausea, and felt so tired all the time. I honestly felt hopeless. but, I woke up today and I went to the bathroom to pee and there it was. bright red blood (-: never have I been so happy to have my period, that to on Valentine's Day! let the pill do its job ladies!! (:"


"I have gastroperesis and rarely have a bowel movement on my own. I've gone 3 weeks easily without a bowel movement. It's to the point that when I do go on my own, we know that I am severely constipated and that it HAS to come out. (Abdominal xrays continuously show I'm backed up, even after going). Miralax is not a "miracle medicine" for me. It works, but only after a few days time. However, considering that typical laxatives only cause me gas and bloating, but no relief, I can't really complain. Magnesium citrate, Linzess, Reglan, Amitiza have all failed me. This is the only relief that I can ever get."


"•  Comprehension: Before:  If you wanted me to pay attention, understand something, or even acknowledge it, you would often have to repeat it several times.  I would misread or misunderstand things more than the average person.

 After:  I understand most communication right away, including the emotions and attitude of the other person, which were often not even on my radar before.

 •  Interpersonal Communication: Before:  I was very likely to interrupt others.  I wouldn't wait for others to speak before continuing my conversation.  I came across as very harsh & critical. After:  I'm better at engaging in appropriate give-and-take in conversation.  I communicate in a much appropriate friendly tone.

Dealing with adversity:

Before: Even trivial matters would provoke a negative reaction, ruin my mood or trigger impulsive/disruptive behavior. I’d get down on myself for minor mistakes

After: Even when things don’t go the way I like them to go, I handle things in a much more mature, measured way. When something goes wrong, I’m more likely to laugh it off than I used to. I’m more even keeled, less likely to fly off the handle."


"I had run out of Zovirax cream and was waiting a day or so on a refill from my dr. I was having a bad breakout with 4 on my lips, ugh!! I read a lot of reviews for Abreva and wish I went with my guy and not buy this crap (for $25 to boot)! Doesn't work whatsoever. One review said that they actually woke up the next morning with another sore - and so did I! So upset with this product I may write a letter to them demanding a refund."


"I had been taking Gildess(generic for loestrin) for over 2 years(& never had an issue) up until the manufacturer discontinued it. It was at that time when I tried everything from Blissovi, Junel, Microgestin. I've never had an issue with acne unless it was my 'time of the month' with 1-2 'period pimples'. My skin became acne prone as soon as I stopped taking Gildess, to the point where I started getting cystic acne, even with upping my skincare routine & rarely wearing makeup. I stopped immediately & decided to give the loestrin fe 1/20 brand name a try. I'm on my 2nd pill & can already feel my face starting to break out again. Stay away from this birth control. It's not worth the emotional/physical discomfort :("


"The only thing it did for me was make me so tired that I could not function. I had to wait 24 hours before it wore off."


"Had a bad allergic reaction to this medication after 2 pills and stopped taking it.  Asked for another DIFFERENT medication."


"Started this almost 3 weeks ago, no side affects except dry/flaky skin on hands , now week 3 nauseous 24/7 and headache 24/7,  nothing is taking the headache away not imatrex (RX headache reliever) not excedrin NOTHING. I can't even eat , I feel like it's going to just come right back up. It's like it built up in my system for weeks and now my body is rejecting it. It made me feel better emotionally but physically I can't take it, I  just want to stay in bed cause I feel like crap... I know it's the med cause it started on the exact day I started the 3 rd sample bottle. I'm stopping it. I haven't had a headache like this in years or been nauseous."


"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"


"I feel that Percocet does not fully cure the pain but it definitely lowers the pain level on a scale of 1-10, down to 3-4 and it makes my pain livable."


"I had experienced the horrible symptoms of inflammatory bowel syndrome for about six months -- the urgent needs to find a restroom (occasionally without success in time), loss of weight, a hesitation to eat since I knew what would ensue, etc.  I was referred to a gastroenterologist who, after several unsuccessful prescriptions, performed a colonoscopy and found the IBS/colitis.  He prescribed 10 mg. dicyclomine and two Pepto-Bismol three times a day.  The relief was almost immediate; I did learn they were more effective if I took them 15-30 minutes before eating.  Perhaps because of the lower dosage that those mentioned in some of these other reviews, I haven't experienced the sleepiness or lack of energy.  I love this medication!"


"I started the first pack last year, and when I got to the placebo week, I was in extreme stomach pain for a few days and got scared, so I stopped taking the pill altogether.

But this might be because of the stressful experiences I was having in life.

Now, half a year later, I decided to continue the next two packs because I just started dating someone new and we don't like condoms.

No pain, it regulated my period (and it lasted only three days with light flow thankfully), but the one annoying thing was that before I started the pill again and was getting busy with the bf, I could easily get wet and aroused but after taking the pill, I experienced continuous vaginal dryness.

So this pill gets a meeehh/10."


"I've taken many different anti depressants for anxiety, depression, insomnia and agoraphobia for a number of things really. I'm taking 30mg and I've been taking it around 4 months now, for the first two months my mood had improved but I slept around 15 hours a night but after having around 6 months of about 1-2 hours sleep a night it was welcome to me. And also I ate everything which my loved ones enjoyed as my anxiety was so bad I hardly ate. But now I've reached the point where they seem to have stopped working for me, I've become really anxious again and stressed out over anything and my moods are the worst!! I am really disappointed as they worked so well for so long, so hoping to try something else soon :("


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been using Pradaxa for a few months after years on Warfarin. It's much easier without the weekly blood tests but I have noticed a few side effects. I have gained weight, 4kg, with the same food intake, get terrible stomach pains about once every 2 weeks, and have had increased reflux even though I take Nexium tablets. Overall the benefits outweigh the problems."


"I am an industrial electrician. I work rotating 12 hours. After enough time my body got used to it and I was able to make it through the nights and not feel awful. Then I heard a commercial for Nuvigil. So I figured I would give it a try. This is not a miracle. This won't give you special powers and a super intelligence. What it has allowed me to do was still be able to think when I couldn't before. At 3 in the morning when a problem presents itself I need to be able to think through it. I don't feel an energy rush like with a cup of coffee. I feel like a normal person again. I'm able to not feel lethargic every single minute I'm awake."


"All I can say, from my experience, the pill is not very effective. From the other reviews I read, it seemed like it worked for most people. My boyfriend and I had unprotective sex 4/25. I took PLAN B within 24 hours. Figured I would be okay. Missed my period. Took a pregnancy test and yes... it was positive. Maybe if I would have taken it sooner than 24 hours, I might have gotten lucky. Not this time."


"My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed in January 08 with Uveitis.  We did drops for 5 months with not result.  Starting in May of 2008 we began an infusion treatment of Remicade and today, her flare is controlled.  Life has returned to "almost" normal.

We started at every 4 weeks and have progressed to every 6 weeks. We hope to make it to 8 and still control the flare.

I am calling it a miracle drug.  The issue is health care.  We have insurance due to the grace of God.  Each treatment comes at a price tag of $12K."


"I am a addict in recovery and have been clean for 10 years, I have been prescribed Ativan for both anxiety and sleep, I am a 3rd shift worker and feel this medication can be "psychological addicting" so I do my best to always check my motive for taking it, I try not to take it more than 3 days in a row and (only once a day)."


"I suffer from depression and anxiety, and want to drink to get relief.  I didn't find the help I needed in AA, and truthfully, always knew that drinking was an option, so I would drive myself crazy...to drink, to resist drinking, and on and on.

So, I have been getting help through a psychiatrist, a therapist, and a depression educational support group, and am learning new ways to cope for my depression and anxiety.  Taking Antabuse helps me resist the urge to take the alcohol way out of my discomfort, and use my new tools.

I have been taking Antabuse for 10 days now.  I take it at night and it helps me sleep better.  I have no other side effects, and I've eaten Vineagrette dressing and Catsup with no problems."


"When I first started the shot, everything was great.  I wasn't bleeding, it worked as a birth control.  Then, a month later I started bleeding heavily.  I bled for the entire month and longer.

I also suffer from bipolar disorder, and this shot only enhanced both my manic and depression episodes.  I became extremely irritable, erratic, and finally, I became suicidal.  After being hospitalized my doctor expressed concern that the shot had worsened everything.  If you suffer from any mood or anxiety disorder I strongly caution you against using this form of birth control.  I have used the pill before and never suffered such severe side effects with my mood.  "


"39 year old male, 1st colonoscopy.  I had already read several of the reviews of the product but did not fully know what to expect.  Started 1st dose at 6pm night before procedure and meds began working around the 1 hour mark.  No cramping, pain or discomfort whatsoever.  Took the second dose at midnight with similar results.  Finished getting ready of all the liquids an hour before the procedure and everything went smooth.  Aside from the obvious bad taste, the doses worked fine.  No side effects other than lost sleep prepping for an early morning procedure."


"I am on my fifth week of a 12 week plan of harvoni plus Ribaviron. I took part in an interferon plus Ribaviron treatment plan approx 15 years ago that was not successful - it successfully kicked my ass though.

With this current treatment, I felt no side effects the first two weeks and then during the third and fourth weeks I started becoming anemic with associated fatigue and shortness of breath. During week four and continuing into this the fifth week I continue to feel fatigue and shortness of breath, and also flu-like symptoms of weakness and full body muscle aches.  These symptoms are not completely debilitating but rather have significantly slowed my normally very active lifestyle."


"This is my second time on Lo Loestrin Fe and I love it. The difference is I consistently have a headache this time that I didn't have before. No acne, a little weight gain, and tender breast. I wish the price was more affordable it's $100 a month without insurance."


"My father has been living with multiple myeloma since 2007.  He was first prescribed with Revlimid for the first 2 years.  The medication made him achy and cranky and he had a relapse after the first year.  He switched doctor and was immediately put on Pomalyst.  He has been taking Polmalyst ever since and is still in remission.  He still feels soreness and weakness but he never feels any pain while taking Pomalyst."


"Been taking This medication for over 13 years responsibly!!!  It has helped tremendously to control my pain but not without side effects of not being able to sleep well ever and constant sweating 24/7.  Much safer to use than oral meds and no stomach problems."


"I've had T2 for over 10 years.  A1Cs increased to 7.1 from 6.2 while on janumet 50/1000 2x/day.  Dr put me on invokana 200mg 2x day.  Fasting dropped after 2 weeks to 120. Drinking lots of water which has prevented yeast infections. I was concerned about the black box warnings and amputations.  Now in 7th month and my right is so achy..  My dr reassured me that that this drug is safe.  He also stated that  his "drug rep" confirmed that clinical trials must include amputations from auto accidents unrelated to the medication.  Yes my Dr really said that .  Going to stop invokana and changing doctors.  Good luck guys!"


"I've been prescribed  500 mg -the headaches are so persistent. This is day 3 of 7 and symptoms are pretty much gone but the after taste of the medicine is HORRID. So I take a lemon and bite it right before & right after the pill it DEFINITELY works if anyone is as grossed out by that taste, as I am."


"Pills are small and easy to take, just be sure to take them with food and that you'll be near a toilet. Going from 1-2 bowel movements a week to 3-4 a day."


"Initially went on 10mg Escitalopram for 6 months but besides improving my mood, it worsened my memory, made me apathetic/demotivated and gave me brain fogs all day.

I then went on Duloxetine and the dosage was increased from 30mg to 120mg over the course of 7 months. Duloxetine increased my motivation, mental energy and attention without any brain fog or memory issues like from Escitalopram.

But the downside is that Duloxetine started making me robotic, socially withdrawn and hinder my creative thoughts. At 120mg, it started to negatively affecting my memory so the sweet spot for me was 60 - 90mg. Wasn't perfect but it worked better than Escitalopram for me."


"I was on Loestrin for about 3 months after a year on generic OrthoCyclen. Initially it was a great switch because the last one made me extremely moody, but the new one had no emotional effects. The first two months we annoying because I was having breakthrough bleeding. By the 3rd month I finally had a normal cycle, but after finishing the 3rd pack I noticed a LOT of my hair was falling out! Apparently Loestrin is a high androgen pill that can cause hair loss, and with a history of hair loss in my family I should never have been on it in the first place. Please talk to you doctor about this side effect before starting; I've lost over 20% of my hair in the last week and it may last another year."


"Switched from my old BC to yaz and immediately felt a difference the first few days I was SO  emotional. VERY significantly so. By the end of the first week I was full on depressed and it continued on to the second week. Everything triggered me. :(  but I like the sticker on the top with the days."


"I have been on this for 6 months and only have one issue with it. I gained 10 pounds after being on it for 1-2 months, but have been able to get that 10 down to 5. But no matter how healthy I eat or how much I exercise, I cannot lose that extra 5. Other than that, I have had no issues. It has not affected my mood or sex drive, and I haven't had any headaches or anything like others have mentioned. It actually cleared up acne on my chin so I have a clear face now that the dermatologist couldn't even clear up because chin acne is usually all hormonal. From what I've heard, if you had an abnormal (whether it be painful or irregular) period before trying this, you should NOT take it or it will affect you. I had a very regular period before."


"I had been on 75mg of Venlafaxine for the last 2 months and within days noticed a huge difference from the Citalopram I was taking before.
On Monday I had my 2 month review at the Doctors and although It has made a huge difference I still felt it wasn't quite enough so he upped my does to 150mg and I have to say its made all the difference.
The reason I haven't given this drug a 10 is like everyone else has said ....... I missed 1 75mg tablet one night and OMG the next day I was like a woman possessed !!! Raging temper flying of the handle at the slightest thing.
I find personally it helps to be taken 1 hour before wanting to go to bed as it helps me sleep and I wake up with no side affects."


"Great pain medication! My doctor suggested it after taking 8-10 Vicodin 10's per day.  I started with 20mg/12 hours, then graduated to 60mgs, after about 8 months. I did not like the "disconnected" feeling assoc. w/Med Increase; at that time, it was a small price to pay for pain relief. I currently take Opana in im and ex., I am having quite favorable results, and when compared to Kadian, they seem quite similar, except Op processes thru Kidney. (good)"


"This has caused multiple sexual side effects, urinary retention, almost constant hot flashes and sleep problems. It did nothing for my anxiety. There were no benefits to me from this drug."


"I keep losing hair density. I have not maintained or gained hair. In my case, I think it only slows the alopecia process. I have used it for about 1 year and a half.

Side effects: Aqueous semen"


"I started using the patch around 2 months ago. I loved it at first. I needed the hormones because I have hypothyroidism and I needed more estrogen. I mainly took it because my health condition caused me to have acne all the time, 2 periods a month, & I started growing facial hair rapidly. I tried this and at first it was pretty cool, my hair stopped growing so fast, my periods were predictable, my acne was gone, and my small boobs grew. But all of a sudden after 2 weeks I started getting crazy mood swings and sad.  I was snappy and had so much attitude. Then I started noticing that sleep was getting difficult. And I ended up gainingweight like crazy the last 3 weeks on it. itchy everywhere. Took it off today, & very nauseous. Not worth it."


"I got the Implanon about 2 monthes ago and love it! My period has been lighter than it has ever been. Getting it put in wasn't bad either. They give you a shot to numb your arm and make a small cut. I was a little dizzy for about 10 minutes after but was fine after that. I am very confident that this works very well. Its worry free and I wouldn't have any other type of birth control. If you are thinking about getting this you should really look into it, it's great!"


"I started on just 8 Mcg and noticed no change at all in a month so my GI decided to up it to 24 I believe. I'm on a lot of medication for chronic pain and tumor damage to my brain so juggling all my meds it took me almost a month to figure out the higher dosage was causing me to throw up every morning. I wake up and take all my morning pills so obviously my stomach is kinda empty and 40 minutes later I'm vomiting with little warning. I thought it was associated with another brain tumor as when I took the pill again at 6 I didn't get sick but by then I had a meal in me. It has helped somewhat with my bowels but I'm still on miralax and stool softener and the copay is pretty high so with all considered and how lousy the side effects are"


"I started on this medicines years ago-4 times a day. MRI showed I spasmed every inch of bowel-horrible pain. Now, I take 2 at bedtime. Has been a life saver, still have episodes but not as frequent.  I recommend this to anyone who suffered as I did.  It will show up on a drug screen as a benzodiazepine, just make sure you have a script from your doctor. I have insomnia, so it does a double duty, just can't take it during the day and work. "


"I'm reasonably satisfied with Lutera. My chief concern with oral birth control has been emotional side effects (feeling SO CRAZY), and I really cannot tell any difference at all in my mental health or emotional state when taking Lutera.

It's not a perfect fit still, as I cramp way more on the last 2-3 days of 'white pills' than I ever have, though the cramps are mild. I've also noticed breast tenderness. But for me the worst effect is that I have had about zero sex drive in the 4 months I've been taking Lutera. That's been a major drag."


"I have been taking Paxil for 5 years. Since I turned 50 and my blood pressure shot up to 210/102. Paxil was the biggest blessing. NO, I DID not gain any weight. Well I gained two pounds only because I ate my way through them."


"I am a male, and my girlfriend was using Nuvaring for a few months. It definitely does what it says as far as birth control goes, however, it hurt my penis. "


"I had the Mirena placed November 14'. I am 23 with no kids and the insertion was probably the WORST pain I've ever experienced. The pinch you feel is the absolute worst ! After the procedure I cramped a lot . The cramps were so bad I couldn't walk but that only went on for a week. After that no more cramps and everything went back to normal . In January of 15' I started spotting almost everyday of that month. I assume it was because my body was still trying to adapt to it. It is now March 16' and all I've had is weight gain and I mean I am 80 pounds heavier since having the Mirena. It does its job and I've had no pregnancies but the weight gain is terrible"


"I had a cervical dissection and had C5,6 & C5,7 removed and replaced with bone and other material, titanium bar over thee vertebrae and 6 screws, ground out all the calcium and bone spurs from arthritis. I wanted something I can work on weaker than soma. My Dr prescribed 30 mg. For 14 days I've taken 5 I haven't felt I need to take any more. It's really helped reduce my muscle spasms.  I used my insurance and coupon to get the medication."


"I started June 4 2017 at 220lb today June 22 2017 I havnt lost any weight but this is what I think: I started at 0.6ml for 1 week no change then moved up to 1.2ml for 1 week still no change. When I hit 1.8ml on the 3rd week, that's when all the appetite was gone and the nausea (not so bad nausea) started. I remind myself to eat and when I just start eating I am already full. For me, those smaller doses were to small to take effect giving how much I weighed or maybe my immune system can't go down so easily. I will update my review in the next 2 to 4 weeks with my weight and dosage level . If u see no effect, don't give up maybe ur body needs time for saxenda to start working like mine"


"I have been on metformin for 6 years started at 500 mg per day. Now at 1,000 mg twice per day. Was holding glucose level at 135 with a A1C of 6.4 but my A1C keeps going up more at 7.2 now. Doctor said to now take glipizide 2.5 mg in addition to 2,000mg of metformin to bring A1C down. Have now been on both medicines for about two weeks. I had a very bad drop in glucose to 73 first day in a four hour span after eating. I drank juice to bring up glucose level. Next day it was worse glucose dropped to 51. Had very bad side effects, ate some jelly and 4 oz juice. Next day I decided to not take metformin with breakfast only 2.5 mg glipizide. Sugar held good for 6 hours but then dropped to 69. Ate supper early - this worked."


"I've been experiencing panic attacks for over a year, at first I thought maybe it was a phase that would pass but they have become constant and are really affecting my life. My doctor prescribed 10mg dosage for the first 2 weeks then 20mg from then on and I take them before bed. I been on it for a week and 3days and experiencing headaches and when I wake up to fast I feel like the room is moving and I can't focus my vision. Hopefully the side effects go away and I can experience the benefits. I've been reading lots of different opinions, mostly about the withdrawal symptoms. I'm 18 so I don't want to be hooked on it forever then again if it helps my panic disorder and doesn't cause any major health issues, why not?"


"Works well to treat migraines but you really need to rest after taking.  I get an unpleasant burning sensation in nose, sinuses and throat, but still worth taking.  Also, the bottle is a pain in the butt to assemble - especially when you have a migraine.  I have frequent severe migraines (about 4 times a week) and this medicine is helpful although my dr. said it should not be used more than twice a week.  I am allergic to all the triptans, so this medicine has been a good alternative treatment."


"I'm 19 and have been suffering with migraines for about a year now. My GP advised me to try Relpax out as it was impacting my work life. I am on the 80mg dosage and it does work really well. I already suffer from photosensitivity and when a migraine hits, a simple phone light is unbearable. Within a couple of hours my added light sensitivity and nausea is gone and my head pains dulls down to a mild inconvenience. I am there rare case in which the side effects include jaw and neck pain. When I do take it my jaw feels like its ready to explode but after the 2 hour mark there is no more pain.
I would recommend this to people who are suffers but just be weary of the side effects."


"I just started this two weeks ago. I was having bad mood swings and missing periods so I was put on the pill. I have had good expierences so far. Only complaint is that my boobs hurt a lot. Like all the time. I can't tell if they are growing or just hurting. Also I've had some pains in my uterus but I believe it's bc the pill is doing all that nonsense thickening the walls and all that jazz. Everything is good!!! I haven't gotten my first period on it yet, I should next week. I'm really hoping my PMS won't be as bad on the pill as it was before"


"I was prescribed this drug for a tension headache which I happened to have during a doctors visit. While waiting at pharmacy (problems with written script which took longer), I was pressing on my temples for minor relief. After obtaining butalbital, I took prescribed dose asap. My home was 5 blocks from pharmacy and as I entered my driveway, I surprisingly noticed decreaced pain. My headache was gone after getting home!"


"I have been on Viberzi 75mg for about 6 months now.  I have seen my diarrhea decrease dramatically.  I also no longer suffer from the upper abdominal pain that used to trouble me almost daily.  As with some others here, I have noticed a kind of sleepy, muscle ache feeling about an hour after each dose and a tendency to constipation, which I counteract by using fiber supplements.  Overall, this has made my life much better and allowed me to eat foods I could not eat before.  My insurance has covered the costs."


"I have been a user of the medicine for 3 yeas and I have had moderate to poor success."


"45 year old, Healthcare Professional, Low Testosterone for about 3 years and have tried injections and Androgel with limited success. Started Testim in May and my numbers have actually been so high that I had to cut down dose or dose every other day.  Huge muscle mass gain and weight loss, > 35lbs in 3 months with diet and exercise, (I'm sure the Testim helped), no after work naps anymore.  Be sure to check T and E2 levels regularly but this is the THE best topical testosterone you can get as far as absorption. Smell is a complete non-issue and most who even smell it, love it.  A bit sticky but easily, easily manageable. First T levels were 1100 with a free T of 250, (both too high)."


"I LOVE the Ortho Evra patch. I used it for 3 years, with no bad side effects. It is great because I was always forgetting the pill. I got off it to try for a baby on July 1st 2011 and got pregnant somewhere around July 6 2011. I fully believe it helped us get pregnant. I will be getting off again in a year to try for our next, and I hope it works like the first time. I will be using the patch for life!"

"I started taking Zoloft a little over a week ago. At first I got really, had dizzy spells and nausea. Then I found out the doctor gave me 100mg to start and that was way too high of a dosage. I started breaking them into quarters and so far so good. Side effects since the change in dosage: I've suffered loss of appetite, very little food makes me full. Other than that, I think it may be working, but too soon to say for now."


"I was taking Zofran for awful stomach upset with nausea because one of my other medicines I was on I picked up at pharmacy was a generic new form of medication to treat pain. This new medicine made me very sick. Zofran helped out a lot plus I could take it up to four times per-day. However, I'm also on Lexapro for depression and panic attacks. One day after 2 weeks on these meds I had severe shaking happening to me and I never felt this way before.. Come to find out taking both the Zofran and Lexapro on same day each day was high risk of a drug interaction very severe and I was having the symptoms of a bad interaction. I need to change my lexapro to another type of depression med. But, every depression med is bad with zofran."


"I have been skinny all my life. My normal weight was always around 99lbs. But in 2014 I started gaining  weight while I was on mirtazipine . I reached 127 lbs on my highest and I was more than happy. Unfortunately I lost the weight again after being always sick. 2 month ago I started getting really sick  again and got hospitalized  like a month ago with 6 different diagnosises. My weight went under 96lbs.  I spoke to a nutritionist and she told me about megace and told me to ask my primary care doctor for it. After I got out of the hospital ,I went to see my doctor and prescribed it for me. Best thing ever. I been on it now for like 2 weeks and my appetite great. I m now at 110 and want 20 lbs more. It works!!!!!"


"Definitely helps with anxiety when combined with an SSRI."


"YES!  L-Acidophilus is excellent for IBS, particularly for the weird, somewhat abstract and oblique stomach uncomfortableness.  However, I find that taking two capsules 3 to 4 times a day (preferably on an empty stomach) is the best way.  I use L-Acidophilus as an adjunct to my once-a-day regular, more comprehensive probiotic.   Always store refrigerated."


"I've been on Saxenda for three months and the following are items I've learned and you may find  helpful.
-the very first thing you should do is register with SaxendaCare. The company has a dietitian and nurse to help you through your weight loss journey
-track your eating with an app such as Myfitnesspal (note NUTRITION)
-be mindful when you are feeling the side effects to decide when best to take the medication (did you know it has a full effect after 12 hours)
-eat smaller meals more often, drink lots of water and limit high fat foods and sugar laced food
-let your stomach finish digesting your food before going to bed because another side effect is acid reflux
-meet with your doctor on a regular basis and have blood work to monitor"


"45 year old male. Healthy but fat.  Falling Libido, no energy, no joy of life, cranky, lack of focus and gaining weight. Fatigue so high it was hard to get out of bed.
T levels 170. I have been on Axiron for 60 days.
Wow what a difference.  First few days I had some nausea and cramping, mood improvement was next followed by increased energy and screaming boost in libido. Wife now dreads the new me, she thought she was done running away and keeping me off her.  Back in the Gym after 30 days.  Still going 3 days a week doing 45 min of Cardio and 15 min weight lifting.  Not a lot but for me its huge improvement. Insurace wants to talk to my Doctor about my need.  This product is awesome and I will fight to keep it."


"This is the first birth control pill I ever took. I was on it for 3 years and overall it was a very good experience. It helped clear up my acne, although during stressful times I still would get some small breakouts. My periods were much lighter, I didn't gain any weight, in fact, I lost 20 lb which was nice. I never got pregnant. My only complaint is that it did kill my sex drive, which was annoying. I'm about to start Trinessa to see if this remedies the problem, but if Trinessa ends up being problematic, I will definitely switch back to Lutera."


"This had very little effect for me. I found I had to take double the prescribed dose just to get a little relief."


"Tudorza had been a blessing since trying December 2015 until January 2016 when my insurance took it off the covered list. Can no longer afford the only inhaler that worked for me after 6 years of trying most every inhaler on the market. Insurance companies that make these type of changes should be in our shoes just for a day."


"Overall as a birth control it did its job, me and my husband never used a back up birth control, and in the year and a half I was on it, I didn't get pregnant. The reason I'm only giving it an 8 is because around the time I was getting my period, I would go insane. Crying a lot...yelling, getting really angry for no reason. I had a low sex drive while I was taking it but other than that it got rid of my terrible cramps, and my acne cleared up a lot also. I just switched to Apri so we will see how that goes."


"Had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and to be on the safe side I took the pill right away. It said within 72 hours. Well long story short I ended up pregnant!"


"I'm 50 years old and got started on Wellbutrin XL (generic) about 14 days ago.  Side effects are severe dry mouth and headache.  I do feel somewhat better but am holding off still on giving rave reviews.  Dry mouth is stronger during the night and then the headache comes in the morning.  My morning suicidal thoughts have lessened and I've noticed that I am whistling more so I feel better but I still have some lethargy."


"I had the implant put in June 2015 and from the beginning it was not a good time. I began bleeding immediately and I bled for about two months before it stopped for only 5 days and started bleeding again . I didn't gain any weight or experience hair loss but I did get HORRIBLE  breakouts. I'm 20 years old I've had pimples every now and then but never acne. It will clear up after a couple of week's and then break out again worst then the last time. Getting this was a horrible mistake and I'll be having it removed immediately"


"I started taking Adipex on July 28 weighing in at 303 at 6"0
I lost 15 pounds my first month now into my 9th week I have lost 11 more pounds total of 26 pounds at 8 weeks (last time I weighed). I have found that it really works good for me - I just need to exercise more. I will continue to take it my goal is to lose 100 pounds and I WILL DO IT."


"I'm on week 2, taking 1 pill in am and 1 in pm. I haven't noticed any weight loss at all. My biggest frustration at the moment is constipation. After reading other comments, I started taking stool softeners every day. Still no success. And like a previous member commented, ALL MY JEANS are tight.  Maybe if my food was actually able to leave my body, I'd have success. But one bowel movement per week is not normal. At least for me. "


"I've suffered from constipation/ irregular bathroom visits for years. I'm talking 2 times/ week and constantly felt bloated. I just mentioned it to my doc at a recent regular visit and he gave me a couple samples of Linzess.
Went to bathroom the day I took it. I did get diarrhea for about 3 or 4 days but every day it got better. Talk about instant relief! I've been on Linzess for about week and a half now and its changed the way my stomach feels and I go to the bathroom about everyday."


"I have battled with my weight my entire life. With that being said, after weighing in at 296 pounds on my doctors appointment almost 4 months ago, my doctor recommended Contrave. I read about the possible side effects but decided I needed to try this for me, my health and my 6 year old son. I did not experience ANY negative side effects.  The first month of being on Contrave I only lost 5 pounds. My second month I lost another 5 pounds. I must admit I was frustrated. My caloric intake had been reduced drastically. Then after the third refill, the weight started dropping off!!! I honestly I can't wait to go to my doctors appointment this month. I weighed in today at 270. Portion control is so easy. Cravings are completely gone. I LOVE it!!"


"This medicine works well for me and I tried a lot of medicines. It's a little pill, does a lot. People have said I seem much better and have my personality back (I was on lithium, made me like a zombie). Hardly any side effects. I take it with Lamictal. A  "


"Understanding how approximately 5-10% of Prostatis cases are bacterial related, I don't dismiss the appropriateness of prescribing this drug. However, Ciprofloxacin not only did nothing for me during my 30 days of usage, but also gave me a permanent sunburn and strep in an area of my body that antiboitics have had extreme difficulty in eradicating. I must warn of taking extreme precaution when using this drug; in my experience it was poison."


"I had the Implanon inserted on the 20/12/2010 the procedure wasn't too painful considering you're given local anesthetic on the area of your arm. I felt a slight sting (like a wasp/bee sting). I was on the first day of my period when it was inserted. The day after my period stopped however roughly a week later, it came on again and I had a period for 3 weeks.
Once my period had stopped I didn't have another period until the 17/03/2011. I'm still on and not too pleased. This is a known side effect within the first 6 months-1 year.  I've had no other side effects. No weight gain, acne, illness, aches and pains etc. So other than the random bleeding, I'm very happy with my implant."


"The vet gave this antibiotic to my mastiff when she suddenly had welts raise up all over. He thought she have been stung or had some other type of introduced infection. So far so good, but it seem to give her a bit of urinary incontinence. She has had that before whenever she takes any antibiotic. She is taking other medicine too, so it is hard to say which one is helping or causing the side effect."


"I was on Marvelon for 10 years until my benefits plan changed and it only covered generic brands of the birth control pill. When my pharmacist informed me I questioned him profusely asking if it was the same Marvelon. While I was on Marvelon for 10
Years I had no side effects/felt great on it. As soon as I started taking apris I became  moody, irritable and very very gassy. It almost felt like I was pregnant.  As soon as I started researching apris vs Marvelon I discovered all the poor reviews. I then decided to pay out of pocket to go back on Marvelon the next month because I hated feeling horrible. I went back on Marvelon but what happened next was a blessing in disguise. I became pregnant with my 2nd.  Apris messed up my system."


"Reglan has been a miracle for me.  I was diagnosed with gastroparesis and tried to control the symptoms through diet because I was worried about the potential side effects, but the nausea was debilitating.  My doctor finally didn't give me a choice, he said I needed to be on Reglan as I was losing too much weight because I couldn't eat.  I truly feel like a new person.  Although I still have "spells" where the nausea comes back, it's not nearly as severe and is controllable with Zofran.  I would recommend Reglan to anyone with gastroparesis!"


"I've been using Aldara cream for 2 weeks now and at first thought I was lucky as j had no side effects however the past 4 days have been awful. The cream has left me bed stricken with back pain chest pain and nausea, even my eyes ache. I have no appetite and I'm constantly dizzy. I had to bathe in salt water after scratching myself raw in my sleep I couldn't even wipe after a wee. However the warts do seem to be going away, try and take lysine capsules aswell. I am lucky to be in the uk where the cream is free for me I'm just hoping I have the will power to finish the course

P.s don't have sex the itching after is unbearable"


"I took this med cos I was constipated cos of fasting and not drinking water nor enough fibre so I took one. Only take one and dont crush or break them either.  I took them round about at 11pm-12am on friday (to avoid clash with skl/work).

...I was rushing for the toilet at 7.46am on saturday. I havent done so much in years.  In my experience I havent had any pain if any it was mild. Boy this med works...ok maybe too well. But please take one. Im 15 by the way."


"I am a male in his late twenties and have struggled with mild acne for over 15 years. I have used, benzo proxide, exfoliants, tea tree oil, low GI diet, no skin touching and many other tools without consistent success. I have been using Aczone for 10 days and have had amazing results. I have had very few new spots appear on my face and when they do only last for 2-3 days. My pores felt clogged after application the first few days, but have adjusted to the texture. The anti-inflammation really reduced the redness in my face and gives me a nice even tone. Azcone has clearly made an impact on me having clear skin. I’ll follow up with status updates as my skin progresses."


"Great birth control that was easy convenient. All I did was just put it in for three weeks, forget about it, and then take it out after the three weeks is up. Sometimes I would have to take it out during sex, although other than that I did not experience any discomfort or it slipping out. This birth control did not make me gain any weight except for my boobs. I did experience vaginal dryness and extreme decrease in my sex drive, which really made sex unpleasurable at times. This birth control made me extremely tired all the time. I would just sleep for hours on and had little to no energy. I am currently off this bc due to that side effect. Caused me to have cystic acne after 5 months."


"I was born with a relatively rare orthopedic birth defect known as Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita which affects all limbs, joints and muscles. Most of my limbs are very thin and fragile and my joints tend to be fused from birth. I have very little range of motion in my joints. On top of this my muscles never fully developed. I tend to have ligaments but the muscles are nearly non-existent. My spine also does a complete 90 degree angle sticking my bum out starting in my lower lumbar regions. All of these physical orthopedic deformities cause immense pain nearly 85-90% of the time. There are times I am unable to get out of bed. An added bonus was my recent diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Four 10/325 Oxycodone/APAP a day works best for me."


"I typically have a severe flareup of sacroiliac joint pain with attending sciatica once a year or so. Mornings are truly the worst;  gave birth med- free to three  babies, with "back labor" each time. That pain is about 2/3 of what this sacroiliac/sciatic pain can be,particularly when standing, walking, and sitting in the morning.Debilitating, searing pain. I'm a nurse, and also avoid pharmaceuticals in general. MD suggested Gabapentin for sciatica, am also doing PT. So far, this  has given me a good night's sleep with less rotisserie-like spinning. Felt groggy upon rising, kind of fuzzy. The morning dose was taken-- left me very uncoordinated, blurry, kind of "spinny". Won't continue med. I need a clear mind, also, no real pain relief."


"I have a phobia of needles, and this is the way to get through blood tests. I had to keep getting blood tests, due to having low levels of iron in my blood, and if this numbing cream wasn't available, I don't know how I'd have coped. Come to think of it, using anything sharp on Me, is a nightmare. I didn't trust this cream to work more, at first, because quite a few medications haven't worked for me, but this was a godsend."


"Kadian has saved my life. I have degenerative disc disease, and was unable to do much of anything painless, I barely got off of the couch. Now I am up cleaning my house, playing with my baby and participating in life. My pain scale was a 8 on most days and with Kadian and other medication for breakthrough pain I am at a 1.5 just about everyday."


"Loved this!  I took three weeks and then started a new pack so I never had a period.  Loved that!  Since it is so low in estrogen, I was able to do that.  Took for 10+ years but got off as I got close to 40 years old.  Recommended it to all of my friends and everyone who switched over loved it."


"I started taking Trazodone, about 3-4 yrs ago, to help me get to sleep and therefore stay asleep. I started with 50mg, but am now on 100mgs. It has been a blessing, and the fact that it is a non-narcotic is important too as I have addiction and depression problems. I Take it right before bed, read for about 15-20min and I am zonked out. "


"I've been taking CONTRAVE about 2 months or so…and have had great success with it. It will make you nauseous at times; but it was pretty rare. For the most part, I just didn't care to eat (which was amazing…as I'm down 28 or so pounds!)

I did a couple of things right; knowing that it could make me nauseous, I didn't stop eating pretty regularly for the first 5 or 6 days (and that helped my stomach handle it). But I've never been able to just forget to eat. Ever.

In the 8 weeks, I threw up 4 times…which is the only thing I can see that could be dicey if I'm in a situation where I can't run to a restroom. But other than that being able to lose that much weight (that I've never been able to get rid of in 20 years) was amazing. Miracle!"


"One week one, 100 mg week two, 200 mg half way into third week, diarrhea, feel hungover, only sleeping 3 to 4 hours a night, horrible anxiety like something bad is going to happen, getting angry at just about anything. This medication isn't for me."


"I am on my 5th day of this drug treatment and it has been hard. People say don't read the negative reviews before you start the treatment but for me it was helpful to know what to expect. The first 2 days were ok. But from the day 3, I have been experiencing the most of side effects. Nausea, vomiting, loose stools, stomach pain, bitter and sour taste in my mouth, chills, fatigue, foggy head, and bloating. I am sure only some people experience these symptoms but I wonder these side effects are after all just effects, not side effects. Sort of like going through chemo.

For those who start the medication, please make sure to get off work and stay home!!

5 more days to go and I will stick to it."


"Currently taking prescribed Naproxen 500mg twice daily for severe lower back pain. I feel a small amount of relief for a 2 hours and then my back pain is in full force. I felt nauseous and i did eat 20 minutes before taking this medicine, There has to be a better way!"


"Age 29, Japanese. I've been on this BC for about 1.5week and this is my first time to use BC in my entire life. I was very worried about using Orsythia that is not approved in Japan. I couldn't even find any info in Japanese, so wasn't sure if it fits Japanese bodies. Right after I started to take the pill, I had the same symptoms as I do during period such as cramping. On the 9th day, I started to bleed but like a spot (still need a pad). I checked the Japanese site and found out that it was a normal side effect ppl have when they start to use BC. So maybe even using different brands, I would have the same thing. The site said that the symptoms wouldn't last longer than 3 months. I'm still bleeding on the 11th day but gotta see."


"In 2016, 8 weeks of Harvoni cured my Hepatitis C - I must note that I did have a low viral load;  the issue with Harvoni is that during my last week of on Harvoni,  I noticed some slight swelling of my hands and within the next few weeks the swelling became worse; I developed a lump on my forearm (later diagnosed a a rheumatoid nodule) and my eye sight became progressively worse  - my hepatitis c was cured but  my quality of life deteriorated - ANA was negative but rheumatoid factor was high and I could no linger hold a cup; pain, swelling of hands & developed a pilot cataract with my eye sight tested at  being 300/20; I firmly believe these developments are directly related to Harvoni - I know I am not the only person this has happened too"


"I started plucking out my eyebrows when I was 14 (15 years ago) and when I was about 17,they completely stopped growing back! I have been contemplating getting my eyebrows tattooed for a while now. About 3 weeks ago, I started reading reviews and advice about Minoxidil and if it might actually help me after this many years. I decided, what the heck, it can't hurt! I bought Equate Minoxidil 5% (for men) and I've been really strict on my routine. After about a week, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me bc I started seeing very fine tiny blonde hairs growing. Then,after the second week, I definitely saw them growing! I'm so stoked and I highly recommend Minoxidil(generic is just as good as Rogaine). :-)"


"I have been trying to lose weight since October 2015. Well, long before that, but October was when I became desperate. I suffer from depression, which had made me gain 16lbs in 2015 alone. I went to my doctor and asked about Contrave after doing extensive research. I was on Wellbutrin for depression and I felt like it had stopped working so I opted to go off of it and that allowed me to start Contrave. I filled my prescription on December 16th. The drug made me  tired, but I never woke up tired. I woke up feeling very well rested. Very slight headaches now and then, but nothing horrible. That was the only side effects I have had. It is 1/3/16 now. I went from 216 to 204lbs today. I'm loving it!"


"I'm only writing this in response to the numerous complaints of bleeding for months after receiving the Depo shot. When I went in to get mine, after much research on my part (I'd been on the pill before and it completely did not work for me), I had been told about 5 times that the MOST COMMON side effect of this form on birth control is bleeding/spotting for up to a YEAR. I was given my options and understood the risks and side effects. So for people who are surprised or upset about this, maybe your provider was not clear enough or you yourself did not do enough research, but it is a very well known and common side effect. As with many things, you need to let your body get used to it."


"Years ago they did not have Xanax. I had panic attacks and this medicine saved me from losing my job for fear of driving! IT was my salvation from the terrible panic attacks!"


"After taking this medicine for over 3 years, have noticed great improvement in my diabetic neuropathy."


"I have suffered with sciatica for years. I have done physical therapy out the wazzoo. I have had injections. Nothing helped till Lyrica. It took a little trial and error to find exactly the right dose for me, but my pain is managable without narcotics for the first time in many years."


"Got on this pill about 4 months ago. Everything is fine normal. I'm also on anti depressants for anxiety and it didn't do anything to make my anxiety worse. The only thing that I do not like is the weight gain it makes me eat way more than I do I feel like I'm pregnant. I don't mine the bigger boobs but the weight gain sucks."


"I have been taking Apriso since December 2010 and have had no flareups. My doctor told me it is fine for long term use and as of right now, September 2011, he has no plans to take me off it. The only side effect I have experienced is some muscle stiffness."


"Best weight loss ever and the easiest! Went from 192 to 138 in 4 months! I gained most if it back since they took it off the market 3 years ago!  Can't find anything nearly as good yet!"


"I have had cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) for 15 years or so. CVS started when I was about 18-19 years old.
I have been "sick" at least 2 days per week, this whole time, sometimes 7 days per week I'm sick, but never just 1 day. ER visits, IV meds, week long hospital stays, and doctors literally worldwide scratching there heads trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I settled into the fact that I was destined to be sick and that it was going to kill me.
At 33, I FINALLY got the diagnosis of CVS and have been prescribed 50mg amitriptyline, and I have slowly been improving. I have gained weight, and sleep 10hrs nightly, only side effects so far, so I'll take it! Been 6 months,I'm down to 4-6 sick days per month, so it's working!"


"This drug definitely works. Covered in acne before starting the medicine, it only took 4 months and I am now acne free. But although it worked very well, many of the side affects are awful. Dry skin is bearable, but as an athlete, the joint pains made playing my sports very difficult. But worst of all was the depression. After about the first month, the depression hit and I rarely went a day without considering suicide for the next 3 months. It may work, but if you are going to use this medicine, be aware of some of the devastating side effects."


"WOW  I've just come home after delivering my big presentation to over 100 people. It was incredible. No panic, no shaking voice, no crazy beating heart, just calm....
I'm blown away.. normally I can't even talk to over 3 people. Didn't realise how much social anxiety had limited my life until trying this medication- I feel like I can finally be me.
Sadly It was only prescribed as a one off from my GP to help with this event, she said I'll need to try counselling in future."


"I haven't used this for very long, probably less than a week, and I know your body's suppose to get use to it however after reading these experiences I don't think my symptoms are gonna change. I'm not sure how effective the pill is for sex because I used it to calm down my periods however ever since I've started using it I get pains in my lower stomach. they feel like period pains and the pill has put my whole mood down. I do get acne kinda normally however i broke out so much on my forehead and I'm almost positive it's from this pill. it's Thursday and I started it Sunday and I've gained probably 5-6 pounds already. it literally makes me hungry 24/7 which is a nono. i'm either stopping all together or switching to a new pill."


"I had such bad side effects from Abilify with no positive effects. My cholesterol went up, I had heartburn or acid reflux every night that would wake me up. I got totally paranoid and was even scared to drive or ride in a car. I had unusual fears of dying, I had a hard time laying still and would have to move my legs and arms. I got really bad dizzy spells usually while I was driving,, which created more fears of driving. I still haven't found something that works for me. Losing hope."


"I was prescribed Concerta to offset the drowsiness from the Abilify I take in conjunction with Lexapro. I have suffered from major depression since I was about 19 and have been on every SSRI on the market as well as Wellbutrin to treat my depression, and nothing has helped me more than Concerta. I only take 18mg twice a day (I'm 34) and while the anti-depressants make me lethargic and were causing my work to suffer, the Concerta has been a real lifesaver. I've only been on it a few months and haven't really suffered from any negative side effects (haven't really lost any weight yet), and am planning on discussing discontinuing the Lexapro and Abilify with my psychiatrist since the Concerta has had such a positive impact on my depression."


"Best pain killer ever!!! I tried so many meds and nothing takes the pain away better than this medication, however, when I don't have any more, I go through such hard time because of the Withdrawn symptoms, they are not easy."


"This medicine is very effective, I use it regularly. I take two before bed with lots of water and usually wake up to a BM. Just make sure you don't leave the house. Last night I took two, and by 10am I still Hadn't had a BM, so just thought it had t worked. Got in the car with friends, started driving to the beach. Half hour in I got excruciating pains, doubled over in the car, nausea, no services so my friends had to pull over the car and watch me run to the side of the road, hoist up my dress, and make a huge mess at the side of the road. This happened four times on the journey before I was finally done. Never been so humiliated in all my life."


"My disclaimer is: Valium is highly effective in treating stress and anxiety reactions. It has a wide therapeutic index. It is sometimes overly affective thus why people abuse it. If you do; I can promise the effects will be life damaging. When taken responsibly (usually a few times a week as needed) it is safe & a godsend for those crippled with anxiety. I had no side effects."


"I took Prozac for about five months 1989-90.  I felt buoyant for the first six weeks, then less so.  After three months or so, my mood was down and my fingers were stiff and painful upon waking.  After four months, both hands and feet were in pain and did not function for an hour after waking.  The condition persisted, in an ever-diminishing form, for five years after discontinuation of the medicine.  I am told that my reaction was rare; nevertheless, it happened to me."


"I absolutely loved this birth control. It was my first experience using hormonal birth control methods and it worked great for me. Had no cramping, bleeding, or weight gain. Some breast swelling and tenderness but nothing too severe. No moodiness or anything which was great. Had super light periods too. Only downside was price. Currently switching to Tri-Previfem because even with insurance it costs $60."


"Caused my 10 yr old son to develop severe depression, and a facial motor tic which never went away. Now he takes medication for not only ADHD but also depression and tics. Worst drug experience ever!"


"I got the liletta placed five days ago and the insertion was way more painful than I ever remembered the Mirena to be. It was so uncomfortable that I was on the verge of telling them to just forget it. Anyway I went through with it and sucked it up. I've been cramping, bleeding and passing blood clots since it was inserted. The cramps are not something that I can withstand for a long period of time so I've made ibuprofen and my heating pad my best friend. Today I went to the bathroom and I passed blood clots and I waited because I felt like I was passing another huge one...however this felt slightly different from the others, and what do you know, the liletta made its way out:( I'm very disappointed!"


"Started on Armour decades ago, stayed with it then could not get it and had to take Synthroid. My pharmacist informed me last year Armour was back on the market and switched to it, 1 grain or 60 mg.  What an improvement I noticed.  Yes, there is a difference"


"Been on Junel FE for about 8 years now. Never really had any problems with it, except that once I gained some weight its a lot harder to lose while on the pill. I didn't have any negative side effects, except a lower libido which has never really bothered me. But for the last couple months my periods have been way out of whack. Last month I had 3 periods, this month I missed my scheduled period...not really sure what's going on here but I haven't missed taking any pills. I'm thinking about going off the pill now which is what brought me here, but I'm worried that it will make me gain weight and get acne again."


"I have been dealing with acne since I was about 16 and then once I turned 19 in college my skin became much worse with stress and everything else. For the past four years I have been switching back and forth between various types of antibiotics. Finally, in March of this year I was prescribed spironolactone that I started on April 17th. All I have to say is that it works. It definitely was an uphill battle but now almost three months in I barely break out. There are definitely side effects but to me they are worth it. You will have to decide for yourself. As an added bonus, my PMS has decreased tremendously. Also, I did lose weight and a cup size."


"I have been on Trulicity for about 2 months now. It, along with diet and exercise, have helped me lose 12 pounds so far. I am only on the .75 dosage still. The first two days of taking this, I literally did not eat and forced myself to drink water. I just felt full, bloated and slightly nauseous. I typically feel nauseous after the first couple of days after my Sunday injection, but it wears off. I not sure why people are so surprised at their loss of appetite, what do you think the commercials mean when they say "while ____ is not intended for weight loss, it may help you lose weight". MANY diabetic medications have this side effort, and for a reason I believe. Morning sugars are MUCH better and I'm satisfied with Trulicity."


"I have been on a few antidepressants for 11 years with only fair results. My Doctor started me on some Seroquel XR 200mg at bedtime over the last few weeks. This medication not only has helped me with the terrible side effects when you come off many of the typical SSRI but I am sleeping and my depression has improved from a 2 out of 10 to 7 out of ten. Sometimes, SSRI medication side effects are stated as minor but they can be very severe at times. More Doctors should know about Seroquel XR and the great results when stopping antidepressants."


"Update: Now 2 months in, and feeling better than I have in 10  yrs. I am now on 20mg. I feel really calm, like I can breathe again. On 10mg it took less effort to hold off the anxiety/panic attacks. At 20mg I don't have the background anxiety at all, and no panic attacks (vs one every 2-3 days). I no longer have insomnia. I'm optimistic and becoming more actively interested in life. I smile a lot more and socialize. No jitters or side effects. No mania or agitation. Thinking clearer, feeling great, thinking about working in the future, and reconsidering my decision to not have children due to mental health issues."


"Was given this medicine for upper respiratory tract infection. It helps the cough but makes you feel really out of it. With this prescription I have had headaches. I'm on the 12 hour/1 tsp dosage. I would recommend that this drug before you go to bed."


"I have had depression forever and after failed SSRIs mania started to occur. Luckily I was already seeing a psychiatrist he tried me on Seroquel which made me way too sleepy and then Lithium which stopped both mania and depression. Although it doesn't cure bipolar so I still have manic and depressive episodes during stressful times but they are much more minor now I'm on Lithium. Only side effects are tremors for me but they are fairly minor."


"So woke up sunday morning with a little blister. Instantly took 4x500mg Valtrex. Unlike the rest of the users on the previous reviews, mine did get bigger and did multiply. It is now Tuesday. It didn't get as big as it would get without the valtrex but still up there and not scabbing yet. So its either I'm not lucky like the rest of the users or they are making it up."


"I have been taking this medication for 4 days and still have the same problems, but not only have the infection I now feel like I have the flu, my body feels like I have been hit by a train. I am calling the doctors tomorrow to see if there is something else I can take."


"Weighed 431 7/28/15 I've been weighing over 400lbs for the last 3yrs.Went for my annual physical 10/27/15. Weighed 421. Lost a whopping 10lbs in 3.months on my own...Wow!.Dr said we had 2do something either surgery or medication. I chose meds. Overall I'm rather healthy except 4this wt. We chose adipex. I went for my 1st visit 11/12/15 n had lost 10lbs in 2wks. I'm more energetic n have started exercing. Follow me on here. C u in 2wks"


"Started Contrave in the 2nd week of January..the first week was different I was very sick to my stomach all day every day for almost 10 days.  Once that passed I did not notice any changes at all.  I gave it over a month a didn't lose a pound.  So disappointed especially with what I had to pay for prescription."


"I'm hypothyroid and skinny as a rail and cannot even gain a single pound, 58 yo, 5'6" 88 lbs, thyroid damaged through radiation, have been on synthroid/levothyroxin 50 mcg daily, and I notice no change at all, still no energy, still totally exhaust 24/7,still losing weight like crazy with a relatively healthy appetite. However, since I totally trust my oncologist, I keep taking them."


"I very been taking Hydro 10/325 for about 13 years. THIS medicine is a Life changer! My dosage was at 6 a day with my tolerance.  It was just unbearable to the point that of asking for help many times due to the way I was taking them. Basically I took twice the dose I had to really be able to participate in LIFE.  I also have taken many other medications like antidepressants Cymbalta, several. I am still taking my flexaril & gabapenton but trying to cut back from 1800mg a day, I'm now sure this is the cause weight gain for me. But in other combinations the prior year I lost over 50 lbs not even trying to. Very scary. I have thyroid issues, several biopsies over the years. I have neuropathy low back to mid compressed disc, neck pain & sciatica."


"I have suffered from acne since I can remember! I'm now 16 and it's hopefully starting to go forever. I've tried so many different types of diets, creams, pills and anything that might help my acne. I have been on roacutane which was AMAZING.. But my acne sadly came crawling right back. I left it a few years till I finally went back to the dermatologist and they put me on doxycycline. At first my skin cleared up right away then I started to get a few blemishes here and there but my skin is definitely way better than it used to be and I really recommend doxycycline if you don't want to go on very harsh treatments like roacutane. I'm also using differin cream and originally used the gel but that was too harsh so I changed to the cream."

"It made me a lot more emotional and anti- social. I also gained weight but that's expected in birth control."

"I am 28 years old having my first colonoscopy. I had my gallbladder removed a year ago in the emergency room (gall stone lodged in bile duct and I had no idea I even had stones).  Ever since then I've had problems with my stomach. I began the prep at 4pm on the dot. Mixed the 6oz with 10oz of low calorie gatorade for the first cup (make sure to not use red purple or orange). Then drank a 16.9oz water bottle. Started feeling nausea and got bloated. But I began the second water bottle and didn't finish it because by 5pm I was in the bathroom. So far my tips are to definitely have baby wipes in the bathroom. Keep close to the bathroom because it happens QUICK. And keep the suprep in the fridge. The cooler it is the easier you can get it down."


"Taking Lyrica relieves my fibromyalgia symptoms literally in days and the pain relief from that is amazing. Unfortunately I can't sleep, I get red sore eyes water retention, constipation, irritated bladder, passing water much more frequently. Pelvic pain, sore gums. Cramps, excess wind, bloated stomach, runny nose. These side effects occur as quickly as the pain from fibromyalgia goes."


"I started Victoza today. At only 0.6 mg. I felt so undeniably and utterly  unwell that I cannot imagine even trying it for a second day.

 In summary, severe low blood sugar symptoms,  ravenously hungry  and I was also prescribe this for weight loss as well as diabetes,  headache, no energy, and a general feeling of being very not well.

In short I do not recommend this to anyone."


"Recently I had replaced my Implanon with the second. While insertion I got an infection. On the first Implanon I had NO problems whatsoever. It did not hurt and never had any side effects. I have had more problems then ever with this second one. I have had two infections since December 2012. I am on my second antibiotic now. As much as I hate to think about it, if this does not clear up after this cycle I will be forced to remove it. Despite the infections I love the Implanon, the convenience and my insurance took care of everything!"


"I have been on Kariva for 3 months and liked it pretty well. It definitely does its job with preventing pregnancy and also made my periods super light and short (4 days) which was nice. But I gained about 10 pounds on it which was awful! It did make my breasts fuller but the weight gain is terrible. No change in sex drive but it did cause some serious dryness for me in that I just wouldn't get wet down there which was frustrating for me and my bf! But overall not a bad price for a pill that does its job."


"I had a slight yeast infection. Caught it early & decided to knock it out with the 1 day treatment. I have a hard time reading small print but wanted relief so bad I figured it couldnt be worse than the YI symptoms. Itching is now intense internally and I have been in tears on several occasions. I think I am on the verge of it burning (probably because I am having a very hard time not wiping an extra time or 2 to scratch this intense itch). This is day 3. Glad I read these reviews so I understand it is common just wish I would have read them BEFORE I spent the extra money. I was expecting faster results. Dont think its Monistats fault that people didnt read the fine print. People doing reviews should think about that before rating a product"


"I have been on Pristiq for at least six years for post-menopausal anxiety/depression.  I tried several other medications without success, but this one is great.  No side effects other than headache and mild nausea the first couple days.  I feel "normal" 99% of the time - moods have evened out, almost no anxiety/irritability and have an overall happy feeling.  I would take it in the morning, as it can cause mild insomnia.  I will stay with this one."


"Well, I dont speak english very well but want people know mi experience with zepatier. My first lab before treatment have ALT and AST high, fibroscan F2, viral load over 600000. First week the symptoms were extreme fatigue but better than interferon and Rivabirin. I have depression before treatment but I felt more depressed . The second week the labs results were all good AST and ALT normal range. The symptom of the second week are : my eyes have slow movements like dizzy, the fatigue and loss of appetite but like always like to said 100 percent better than Interferon and rivavirin.
Today I start the second week of the second month and the RNA quantitative its extremely low that they didn't put numbers ,but i need to go to Dr office to be sure"


"Have been put on baclofen for spasms in legs and back after back fusion for injury due to train crash. The benefit has been enormous. I can now sleep, walk and lead an almost normal life. I only take 5mg three times a day."


"I was taking Benicar 40 mg for a couple of months.  I stopped taking it when I had a cold and the BP went up again. Is this normal?"


"I have tried a lot of products on my face and this has to be the best. My acne is going away and my skin is staring to glow. I do this wash once a day but I am gradually growing to 2. A little goes along way since this wash does dry the skin. What I do is use noxema deep cleanse wash right after the BP wash and leave it on there for about 3 minutes then wash it off. It's a great  moisturizer  and after I use some vitamin e oil to keep my skin flawless"


"If OCD thoughts are keeping you up at night this works well. Turns the brain off with literally 25 mg a night one hour before I want to sleep. Daytime Paxil has worked best for me."


"Not happy with the regular diarrhea, thinning hair and general muscle weakness.  Also my arthritis has amplified quite a bit since starting Lithium.  Not as depressed in general, but I don't feel like myself and I'm really scared this drug will eventually do major damage to my physical health.  The long term side effect profile is just awful."


"Moderate pain relief. Non-diabetic nerve pain in legs and feet..60 mg daily...caused erectile dysfunction and tiredness but worth the relief of pain. 8 yrs Now."


"I have fibromyalgia.  I also have a knee injury.  My knee pain was reduced by this medication,  which let the rest of my body calm down.  No side effects."


"I had taken this medication last year while in the hospital (I don't remember what for) and was given pudding to mask the taste since it caused me to gag terribly. I found that trick to work this time as well. I had bv and was able to get an emergency appointment with my gynecologist. She prescribed this medication for me and it worked very well. I did not drink at all and took it every 12 hours as directed. I hope no one goes through this, but it is bound to happen. If you happen to get bv, please follow your doctor's instructions!"


"Methadone/Methadose has been a life saver for me, also. It's affordable for us that have no health insurance of any kind. It does allow me to work, part time again. I can do what I need to around the house again. It's not all-inclusive in taking away pain, but does work pretty good especially for the chronic pain I have and apparently will have for the rest of my life, as no Ortho MD considers me a candidate for the surgery I need to repair my shoulder/rotator cuff (a "reverse total shoulder repair") since I have osteopenia; even though I am on Fosamax to stop its progression. "


"I have been taking Topamax for 2 years now after trying many different medications.  Yes I got some of the side effect mainly thought process was slow and word confusion that was real frustrating it is worse under stress.  The all over tingling is not as bad anymore but not have headaches every day, you have to weigh you options."


"To preface this, this is merely my experience, for everyone's experience may be different.
I was prescribed this after having abnormal periods (skipping 1-3 months, and upon arrival, lasting for 1-2 weeks in addition to excruciating pain). During the first month, the first week I felt somewhat nauseated and tired, but the rest it cleared away. Acne was gone, period was lighter.
However, starting now on the second month, I am completely repulsed by food and have other gastrointestinal symptoms on top of pre-existing conditions (which is a problem for someone who does weight training) and I'm tired pretty often, thus I will no longer be taking it.
Additionally, Orsythia has also made my mental illness symptoms far worse."


"I put a 5/10 rating because I have just started taking Latuda 20mg. The only side effect I have noticed is feeling drowsier than usual. I am most likely going to give it 1-2 weeks before jumping to the conclusion that it doesn't work (as I was notorious for doing that after like 2 days of taking the medication). I am also taking Wellbutrin 300mg and Trazadone 50mg. I find I take Latuda after dinner or late snack as it does make me drowsy. However the Trazadone is like a miracle drug for me. Before I was taking it and when I took a break from it when I couldn't afford them at the time I had the most restless sleeps imaginable. Was skeptical about starting Latuda as I am also taking 2 other medications. But Psychiatrist said it was safe."


"Imuran caused a 10 day hospital stay for me.  I was on it about 2 weeks, started running a fever of 104, had chills, very short of breath.  I was treated for regular flu, swine flu, tested for all sorts of other breathing problems."


"I have been on Belviq for one week and have lost 4 lbs. I had a mild headache the very first day and felt a little lightheaded for 3 days, but nothing severe or that I couldn't handle. I just decided not to drive, but now at 1 week I have no negative symptoms. It's definitely working, as I don't have hunger pains and have to look at the clock to make sure I do eat something. My doctor also gave me a menu to follow and I just use it as a guideline. I don't feel like I miss out on anything! I will send an update."


"Not impressed with this drug.  I was prescribed a 50mg tablet 4 times a day for 7 days to be taken with food. This was a struggle. Who wants to eat 4 times a day when you've lost your appetite and especially last thing at night for the final dose. Might have been working slightly by the last day but gave up then and am now taking Cefalexin."


"I have been on this medication for almost a year and the cramping that comes with this birth control is absolutely the worst. I figured after a few weeks the cramping would die down but it didn't. I feel like my organs are being ripped apart from the inside out. These god forsaken cramps put me on my knees wishing for death. I can tolerate pain but when it feels like my cervix is being sliced and pulled apart constantly for almost a year, something has got to give. Did the birth control do it's job? Yes, I'm not pregnant. But is all this pain WORTH not being pregnant? definitely no it's not. Getting this thing out asap."


"I have social and generalized anxiety along with panic attacks. I am at a max dose of 2mg 3 times per day. This medication is a life saver in the terms of allowing me to not be afraid around myself, allowing me to go out and socialize with friends. The only downside is I will most likely be on this medication the rest of my life as it has proven to be extremely addictive both physically and psychologically. Your brain naturally creates GABA, which takes up to a year or longer to start creating on its own. This medicine also wipes out your short-term memory and tolerance is a huge problem along with creating more extreme panic attacks if a dose is missed. However, this medication is a life safer for me.15 years and counting."


"This medicine was awful. I took it for severe nausea and vomiting and it made me anxious, nervous, and on edge. I have never felt that way before and will never again take this medication."
