"I'm a 44 yr old female I started Contrave on 12/15/15 taking one pill a day. My starting weight was 240.  On 12/22/15 I started on two pills a day the next day I was extremely nauseated all day long.  I got relief from the nausea with dramamine.  As of today I have lost eight pounds & my nausea is not as much but I do experience a little dizziness.  I drink three to four large glasses of water a day if not more.  My cravings for sweets has stopped & when I eat I get full pretty fast & don't have the urge for seconds & stopped drinking soda.   I'm sticking with Contrave I feel it is working for me."


"The birth control is definitely doing its job at making sure I don't get pregnant, so that's why I gave it some stars.

However, I have been experiencing BAD hair loss and lifeless hair which I have narrowed down to this pill, and have noticed other women mention the same thing.

I also get motion sickness in vehicles if I am not driving.  I have gained 10 pounds since getting on this medication and my diet and expercise regiment has not changed.  My skin was clear to begin with, and I did not end up getting acne from Reclipsen, except for a few pimples right before my period.  My periods are average.  My PMS seems worse than it used to be.  I will be making an appointment to switch my birth control.  I hope this helps someone."


"The first months I had a 2 week long heavy period the 2nd month I had a 3 week long also heavy period and the 3rd month it was extra heavy and lasted 1 month. I was so depressed I called my Dr office and told them if they didn't take it out immediately I was going to take a knife and take it out by myself. Needless to say I had an appointment the very next day. This drug is not for everyone. Good luck trying to find out if it's for you."


"Sick for 4 weeks, went to Doctor.  Ear infection, sinus infection and bronchitis prescriptions of Augmentin and Mucinex.  Since 6 months earlier I had pneumonia that took me out of work for short term disability, when I heard the tell tale "rattling" on my left side 8 days later, went back to Doctor.  So after 5 weeks of coughing, sneezing, headaches and overwhelming tiredness, I received a shot of this.  I had not had a shot of anything for many years and it did hurt.  I am not a wimpy, owy person.  It did hurt.  It hurt for 45 minutes.  But the next morning, I woke without coughing up a lung, rested, and feeling better than I had for a month.  The second day (now) I am headed out to cut the grass after vacuuming the house. Yeah."


"I suffer from a specific family of migraines where light, sound, smells DON't bother me. I just always have a baseline headache that spikes. We found that Topamax helps keeps the baseline normal but I'll get a spike where I'll have to take my Treximet a 2 dose series. It's not very often I need the second and it's even rarer that after taking the second I'm still suffering but when it does happen 1 or 2 a year I'll call let my Doctors office know I need a Toradol shot and they say come on and within 15mins of getting it I'm 95% if not 100% better. I have no side effects. I get the injection in my right bicep because I'm right handed and use it a lot. Life saver when all else fails."


"I started taking lyrica 25mg 2 weeks ago. I was sleepy day 1, took nap. Next day 25mg felt well and energetic. I'm combining low dose which a massage every 2 weeks. I'm interested in what others have to say about long term use at a low dose."


"I'm just starting on my second week of pills, and I've had no side effects so far! I take it at 8:30 every night, but I usually don't fall asleep until 11 and I haven't felt any nausea or sickness! I think it has started to clear up my skin, which is the main reason I started taking it.This is the first birth control I've ever tried and I love it!"

"The only reason I am prescribed them is to stop my period for several months (I skip the inactive pills and start a new pack). The first month was okay but into week 3 of my second month I started having heavy  "spotting", enough to need a tampon. Two weeks later I called my Dr to inform them that I had been bleeding for two weeks straight and ask what was going on. They insist that my body is just getting used to the hormones and to keep taking them. It has now been over a month, I'm almost done with my third pack and the bleeding/spotting every day is STILL an issue.  On the rare moments when it's light enough for sex, forget about it. I have no desire and dry as the desert. I'm also extremely tired and have had random breakouts."


"I was on Elavil for many years to help ward off migraines and it did great. Then my neurosurgeon prescribed ultram and I had a tachycardia incident. I am very sad that I can not be on Elavil. I used to take 10mg at bedtime and it was helpful."


"I'm 24, been on it for 1 year. I have gone from 112lbs to 127lbs but have pretty clear skin other than during my period and the week after. Periods come the same day same time each month and are not too heavy. My biggest problem with this pill is my absolute lack in sex drive. Planned parenthood gave me the Nuvaring to try. Hoping it doesn't mess me up!"


"I've been on Wellbutrin in combination with Prozac for almost a year now. When I began Wellbutrin, for the first couple of months I felt like I was on speed. I would constantly shake and my heart rate was pretty fast. For the first couple of months, I experienced very large mood swings that led to me making very irrational decisions. Despite this, I continued taking it, and after about 3 months I wasn't so shaky or moody anymore. When I began Wellbutrin I weighed about 115 pounds, and I lost 15 pounds over the course of 2 months on Wellbutrin, and have been stabilized at 100 ever since. Wellbutrin has caused me to be more energetic, happy, friendly. I definitely recommend it."


"The pain management Dr prescribed  morphine sulfate ( due to cost) rather than OxyContin . It was horrible. I felt loopy and sick with pain in my side . So a different Dr switched me to Exalgo SR .. What a relief! Ian finally thinking clearer . I take dilaudid for breakthrough pain and between the two , I am functioning much better. I think it is much better than OxyContin as well , because OxyContin always made me feel flushed and a bit dopey in a different kind of way. ( not as bad as morphine though) I am so glad I am getting pain relief without feel sick and doped up . I think Exalgo is a perfect match for me ."


"Light pink bleeding from  my throat and. sores on tongue. Sore. and cramps in feet and legs.pink blood in nose also.Tingling in fingers. Sore arms, stiff neck Stomach pain that goes to my back.Shortness of breath."


"I am on the third month of this pill. No pregnancy, which is the point and no mood swings or weight gain. BUT ... I am having my period for the third time this month. First month went well, period came on time, lasted a week, second month same thing but this month has been just more than obnoxious. I had my period, then nothing for two days, then slight cramps and another light period for another 4 days, then nothing for about 5 days and yet again cramps today and next thing I know, I'm bleeding again. Hopefully this resolves itself soon. Outside of that, it is as if I'm not taking anything."


"I have severe Diabetic Neuropathy to both feet, and Neurotin seemed rather ineffective. The pain was a combination of burning, needles and pins sensation, and severe knife stabbing sensations intermittently to both feet. I started taking Cymbalta over a year ago, and it has significantly reduced the sensations and pain,  making them tolerable. I initially noticed a loss of appetite, which was a blessing in disguise for me, and I lost 25 pounds before the anorexia disappeared. I have several severe disorders which require close monitoring of my blood, but overall, Cymbalta has been a God send to me."


"I fell off of a ladder at work and shattered my elbow and slicing my nerves.  After 3 surgeries over a year period I was still in a lot of pain.  After going through the norco dependence I was finally referred to a pain mgmt doc who first tried Opana to no avail.  I was then put on an extended release Fentanyl patch which worked but did not last near long enough between doses. The doc then put me on Nucynta ER tritated up to 250mg x2/day and it has been a godsend.  I keeps my pain at bay and doesn't get me high.  I will say that it seems to only last 8-10 hours but I have norco to fill the gap.  Very happy with Nucynta and I feel like I have my life back.  Friends and family say that I am much better to be around as well.  Good luck to you!"


"I've suffered from hyperhidrosis since around 8th grade. I'm 32 now. I've tried so many different things to stop the sweating but nothing has worked. It really has been a depressing issue. The big clothes, layering, napkins,  lying, hiding, etc. (sigh)...I went to the doc last week & got Hypercare. I LOVE this & have only used it about 3 times. Wish someone would have gave me this YEARS AGO! I would recommend this to anyone. Its totally changed my self confidence."


"I have had the Mirena IUD for almost exactly 4 years. It was after having my only child. I did not want to get pregnant again at all. I had tried nuva ring and it made me bleed all the time. Could not remember to take a pill. And was too heavy for the patch (my old trusty) to be as effective. So I opted for the IUD. Insertion was just a pinch and the nurse held my hand and talked me through it. Mild cramps for about a day afterwards. I had very light spotting periods for a few months after I got it in. And then my periods quit all together. I have bled 2 times since and it was after sex. And only for a wipe or 2. Not even panty liner worthy. No periods at all ladies. Amazing. However I did experience hair thinning."


"I have a lot of GI, p"


"I used to get gout from age 60 on, sometimes very bad,used colchizine and voltaren. Cherries and avoiding carbonated drinks and seafood.
Now I consume these w gusto. Am on Allopurinol for more than a year  and feel fine but the skin on my face is rough, and I get more dandruff, A small price to pay for PAINLESSNESS. I am 77 now."


"I love my Nexplanon implant! It took some time for my body to regulate itself. My doctor put me on birth control pills for the first three months because my period would not stop and I was regularly spotting. The pills helped to regulate my cycle and now I rarely have a period. It took close to a year before the spotting officially stopped, but it's never been super inconvenient and isn't frequent. I just had to give it time. Overall, my experience has been extremely positive."


"I took 3 puff I woke up puking my brains out went to er I was wicked dehydrated had get 3 bags if fluids.has any one ulse experience this!!!!!?????"


"I have only used this for two and a half days and it's already brought down ALL the redness that made it look terrible and they are going down incredibly. I strongly suggest this. I am 13 almost 14 and it does work. I love this! "


"I started the Relistor injections about 3 weeks ago.  I was to inject 8 mg but was given the 12 mg syringe on the doctor's order.  Very difficult to discard the extra mg because the syringe is not clearly marked.  I now have the 8 mg syringes which I should have gotten to start with.  I take the Relistor every other day and it works in 5 minutes.  I set aside 2 hours to deal with the results.  5 to 6 bowel movements, including some diarrhea.   I go from bed to bathroom and back again until done.  My main problem is the nausea that accompanies the process.  I did experience vomiting after the first injection but now it only nausea.  I take Zofran a half-hour before the injection for nausea and it helps but doesn't completely take care of it.  Even with the unpleasant side effects, I am glad to have this medicine to treat the slow GI movement I have due to scleroderma, diabetes and the opiates I take for chronic back pain."


"I've been taking it for over a year now (going on 2). I've really had no adverse side effects. I used to get hormonal acne the week before my period on my chin, and once I took the pills I stopped breaking out. I didn't gain weight. It also helped extremely for my mood swings that I used to get before my period. I would randomly get upset and the pill has really helped me control my emotions better.  They only thing is you have to be consistent and not skip any days. As soon as I skipped a day, I noticed some side effects (ex. minor breakouts). Overall I really love it. Not everyone's body reacts the same."


"I've been struggling with acne for over a year. When I first got acne I went to the drugstore and bought the whole shabang. I legit bought so many products it was wild. Sadly none of the products hadn't helped me and just left scars due to the harsh chemicals I used. I left my skin alone for a few months and it hasn't changed. I went to the doctors and they prescribed doxycycline. When I first started using it, nothing really changed. After a week or so of using it I got so many gigantic spots (I had whitehead pimples before) they hurt and I felt so so insecure, however I didn't give up. I've been using this for 3 months and my skins clear (apart from the scars)."


"I started using Quasense to control my endometriosis during Basic Training.  It worked great!  I had a little cramping during the last 2 weeks of the cycle, but other than that it was worked perfectly for what I needed it to do.  No spotting for me!"


"Went to the hospital in severe pain. They gave Toradol through an IV. Pain was completely gone. Found that I had a kidney stone."


"I have been on belviq for a month now- no change in appetite at all & I have gained weight.  I am tired all the time & get awful headaches.  How can I exercise & eat right if I am so tired I can't get out of bed?  So far a big waste of money."


"I was suicidal aged 25. Anxiety and Depression. Diazepam saved my life. I started on 5mg 3 Times a day for a week cut down to 2 for a week then one at night under doctors orders. Also one Prozac in the mornings 20 mg. I felt better straight away. Don't let anyone scare you from taking Diazepam, yes they are addictive BUT my quality of life since taking it has been as a (normal) person. I really can't praise it enough as I know I wouldn't be here and living a good life without it. If the tablets help then why not take them.  Thanks for reading."


"I was prescribed this medication for anxiety but it does not seem to help nearly as well as an SSRI in that department.  I (as a female) have noticed only a small to moderate effect on sexual desire and function.  The medication works much better for my ADHD than anything I have used before, I appreciate that it works 24/7 as opposed to stimulants."


"delivery and once bub was born I was fine.
This is the best! I wouldn't have coped without
Cost in Australia $13.95 over the counter for 20 tablets, no prescription required"


"I've started taking this pill about a month ago and only complaint I have is I broke out along my chin and jawline. It's beginning to clear up and I heard that it takes 1 or 2 packs for the acne to balance out. So far I love this pill!"


"I'm blown away and I'm only at the end of my first week. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I feel amazing! Like I was meant to always feel. I've suffered with severe depression and anxiety most of my life tried many medications nothing worked and up until today I thought Pristiq wasn't for me the first few days were hell. My anxiety shot through the roof had the runs and racing pulse up until I fell asleep last night. Woke up this morning feeling a little groggy, caught the train to work. All of a sudden I feel calm and happy. Seriously this if it stays like this will change my life! I'm sweating a little but nothing too major. My vision seems clearer, I feel more focused already."


"I have been on this only for 5 days and I have already lost 10 lbs. I started out at 270 pounds and now I am at 259 pounds. I will continue taking this the seems to be working and the Dr has me on Prozac as well which I'm separating from this. For my depression."


"Bf and I had sex May 7th, the last day of my period. We were safe yet the condom broke but he noticed before anything happened, but we went the next morning to be extra safe and to calm my nerves since I'm not on BC. Had a mini period a week later as suspected but then waited a MONTH+ for my real period. It just came today, June 23. I didn't take any pregnancy tests because I knew I was fine given we had sex way before my ovulation. The moral is don't stress over timing because this is a powerful drug that really offsets your hormones and regular cycle. It came, but it is the most painful period I've ever had and mine are normally light to mild. So just be aware, but over all, I think this is a good measure to take for when accidents happen"


"Not sure why everybody is bashing in this type of birth control but to me it seems perfectly fine. Granted I have only been in it for two months but I haven't seen any changes in my weight, mood, or really anything at all. My period is basically non existent because the placebo is only four days and my body basically only bleeds for one day and it is very light. Overall I think it does what it is suppose to do without any problems."


"I have been taking lamotrigine for 12 years now having had seizures for 35 years. At first I did have flu like symptoms and a slight rash but they soon went. They stopped my seizures which is fantastic but I do find that when writing I can't think of the word I want to say or how to spell it!! I have always been good at spelling and certainly not had any trouble with words, lol, but I will put up with it knowing I don't have the seizures anymore. Does anyone get dizzy or have double vision when maybe taking a tablet on an empty stomach?"


"My doctor gave me this cream to use on precancerous spots on my face. She told me I could try on other spots as well. I have a large number of  keratosi (plural?) on the tops of my thighs. I decided to try it out on them. It has only been a few days and they are almost completely gone!"


"Saphris changed my life - but not until I went to 10 mg.  I was finally "normal" - completely taking care of myself, my house, my business affairs .... I even realized I had hoarding tendencies and was able to rid my life of all the clutter.  Then the wheels came off :  Tardive dyskenisia.   I can't think of a more humiliating side effect, and it started a year before I finally got a second opinion and was diagnosed.  TD worsened when I stopped taking saphris, and unfortunately for me, all my "old" habits are back.    It was so nice to be normal for the time it lasted -- but TD is horrific, and a truly unfortunate side effect."


"This medication made me nauseous for 12  hours a day about 30 minutes after I took it.  My doctor changed me to Wellbutrin, but I am weary to try it."


"After reading all the negative reviews I was freaked out about taking the medicine. Glad I took it though. Started feeling better by the end of the first day. Infection cleared up by the third pill. No side effects whatsoever. The taste of the pill isn't as bad as stated. Like most pills it does have an unpleasant taste but its tolerable."


"Switched from Microgynon to Yazmin due to suffering with headaches, fatigue & loss of libido. However, yaz did not really help to be honest! My periods were heavier and more painful on Yaz, I was moody, had painful breasts but one bonus was they were bigger! Still got headaches too oh and I gained 5lb during 6 mths of using this pill."


"I am 16 years old (17 in 5 days). My friend and I were making out, which led to a bj, which then led to unprotected sex. It was a heat of the moment thing. It didn't hit me until the next morning that I needed to get something to stop me from being eligible to star in that TV show "16 and Pregnant". I had unprotected sex on August 3rd and took the pill on August 4th (19 hours later). I didn't experience any side effects, which honestly made me worry that the pill wasn't working.  This morning, I woke up with my period and I couldn't be happier. It's heavier than usual and 9 days late but better late than never, am I right ladies?"


"Hospitalized for a major gut infection. I was told this was the strongest antiemetic they could give me.... unfortunately the nausea was only mildly helped. However, vomiting did stop. This medication didn't make me dizzy at all. Tastes like cough medicine. I recommend this for mild nausea, it wasn't really effective for treating more intense nausea. VERY expensive for how little relief it gave me."


"Saxenda and Appendicitis: I started Saxenda March 1st and had no negative issues at first.  I injected every day through March and April and 1/2 of May and lost 20 pounds.  I was looking at one year of prescriptions until I started having constipation that lasted for 5 days and I started having abdominal pain that settled in my lower right abdomen.  The trip to the ER and cat scans proved that my appendix was inflamed.  As I sit in the hospital trying to think how a microscopic bacteria could have attached to my appendix and started the infection I realized that the location of my pain, my appendix, and the spot where I may have injected 40-60% of my Saxenda injections were one and the same.  Needless to say - I'm done with this drug."


"I was put on Accutane when I was 16 after using every acne medication the doctors prescribed and everything over the counter. Immediately I noticed a difference and my self esteem soared. I think I did the best one can do on it. The only thing I noticed was my lips got dry quicker, but I just carried Chapstick with me. It was my miracle drug and I couldn't thank my parents enough for putting me on it.

I'm 23 now and I get an occasional breakout here and there but it's not cystic and painful anymore, it's 2 or 3 pimples. I recommend it to anyone who is sick of their embarrassing acne."


"I had abdominal surgery and Percocet was my best friend for almost 2 weeks.  I switched to 800 mg ibuprofen to ensure that I did not develop addiction to the percocet."


"I tested positive for chlamydia and was prescribed two 500mg azithromycin to treat it. I read some of these reviews and was scared about taking it because I react badly to most antibiotics I have taken in my life. I would definitely recommend taking it early in the day on a day you don't have much to do. I was extremely nauseous and puked 2 times in the first two hours after taking it but it passed after I took a nap. About 5-6 hours later I had 2 loose stools. After that I was fine, I had some gas pains the next 2 days and I was really tired but other than that I had no bad symptoms. I also took a probiotic at the same time so that may be why. Hopefully me and my boyfriend will both test negative come next test(:"


"Great working, good smell, easy for use...one of the best products for preventing acne."


"It made me want to crawl out of my own skin! Constant jumping legs and strange sensations all over my body. No sleep whatsoever. Maybe I am allergic."


"Pramipexole helped me sleep with RLS. The problem is, I'm an addicted gambler. I have been to rehab. I still gamble. It has ruined my life. This should never be used by someone who has a gambling or over shopping tendencies as it is a side effect and can make it a whole lot worse. I have recently started taking cannabis and it takes the RLS away. Pramipexole/Gambling....makes me want to give up on living."


"This will put me to sleep like a baby unlike any other drug. I think people underestimate how well Melatonin works. In combination with the other meds i take (Fluvoxamine, Mirtazipine, Vistaril) i can fall asleep in under 30 minutes. Its also very easy to discontinue if needed"


"I got the pills for free at Planned Parenthood. They were effective in the aspect that I never got pregnant, but the side effects were pretty horrible. I had clear skin all my life, but when I got on the pill I suffered from bad acne. I gained about ten pounds, a full cup size, and I felt constantly bloated. By the third month, I started suffering anxiety and depression. This medicine changed my personality and really messed with my head. After quitting, I've finally started to get my life back and my anxiety is going away. I personally don't think these pills are worth the side effects."


"I've been on Geodon for a little over a year. It's been a miracle until I started having tremors a yr or so later. Drs. lowered me off it and I went into a severe depression. The one thing I hate about it is if I miss a dose, I'm wide awake all night. Dr. is taking me off it and I started Latuda, but I know since I'm off it now I'm having trouble sleeping. "


"This medicine, taken in the throes of suicidal ideation changes your thoughts, literally.  After taking an additional 20mg cap, my mind wanders to other, more immediate issues such as things I can do to help myself.  I start thinking about doing activities such as housework, baking, painting, and anything else that gets me back into life and out of my chair playing computer games by the hour.  I think this med is miraculous in the way it draws one away from the depths of despair to functionality.  I have been taking it for several years, prescribed off-brand for clinical depression and have been continually amazed that someone could create a medication that does so much good with virtually no downside.  No hair loss, no weight gain."


"Started on Triumeq exactly 1 month. Trying to understand that viral meds can have some side effect. This one has not been a pleasant experience. By all accounts I am very active and have a vigorous job that needs me to be alert. This med has worn me down physically and emotionally. I have no energy and Bad headaches. My body is achy constantly and the overall feeling of waiting to puke. I had to remove myself from work untilll I can figure if this is indeed the results of medication. I am beginning to think it is. The labs will tell more. I have never experienced sides before on any other meds. I was switching because of cholesterol #'s. I will most likely go back to Atripila. I have been living w this disease for 30 years."


"I started my shot on Saturday November 19,2016 . I was fine the first day on Sunday is when I started to fill nauseous to my stomach. On Monday I started with a burp it's smell like rotten eggs . Today is Tuesday same as Monday :( I hear really good things about this shot but I don't know if my body can handle the nauseated the diarrhea and that stinky smell I've been calling in at work since I've been on this shot and it's only been my first week hopefully my body can handle it , so that I can really see what this shot can do for me , from what I see it helps a lot of people especially with their weight,  their numbers and their A1C. I'm going to try to hang in there . I've noticed that my appetite has cut down and I can say now I'm full ."


"For 9 months I was taking Gleevac for ALL (Acute Lymphoblasic Leukemia) and it was causing me to have at least one blood transfusion a week.  I started taking Sprycel and a year later I have not had to have one blood transfusion."


"Medication did not keep me asleep. No trouble falling asleep, but awoke only a few hours later. Extreme exacerbation of depression occurred. Loss of appetite, loss of taste, olfactory hallucinations ( the smell of burning cigars?), occurred no explanation given. Only used the drug 2 nights but these experiences frightened me I will not use again."


"I went to the ER and was told I had Diverticulitis..I stayed in the hospital for 3 days...I started taking Cipro and Flagyl. Only side effect is diarrhea, hard to manage when you work fulltime...Medication does work...On meds for 1 week."


"She is a new and exciting person.  After 60 days on Seroquel it's like having our daughter returned to us.  New and improved...Happy and Engaged in Life.   Thank You So Much."


"For the first time in years my lower abdomen didn't feel full all the time."


"I have been taking Cialis Daily (5mg) for about two years.  When first diagnosed by my Urologist, he prescribed Cialis. at the time it was just approved by FDA to treat BPH. My insurance ,TRICARE, would not authorize  until I had tested other drugs designed to treat the condition.  The two drugs tested caused very noticeable and uncomfortable side affects. Flomax and Avodart caused conditions such as severe urinary burning , headaches, and digestive discomfort.  Both were used for two weeks each.  Finally, I was approved for Cialis.  Almost immediately, I would say I les than a week, my BPH symptoms subsided significantly.  Urination need decreased and became easier. I suffer from Rosacea and this accentuated the blushing quite bit."

"I've been on Beyaz for about a year now and I love it! I had some acne before (not much really) but it's completely gone, I never break out now. I never have cramps, my breasts got bigger, and when I went on it I was trying to lose weight and had no problems (lost 15 lbs immediately after and got bigger breasts). I would recommend Beyaz to anyone."


"I have atrial fibrillation - beats to 180 very irregular beat, converted in 45 minutes in ER. Started me on Toprol 25 once a day. Heart rate now around 60-70, blood PSI 120/70 side effects so far include problems sleeping, restlessness also drowsy on and off. Only been taking this drug for a week now, perhaps the side effects will reduce in time."


"I have two kids my first was born and I was put on the pill ,took it correctly and somehow got pregnant when she was 3 months old. So now I have a 1 and 2 year old after my second I decided to try the mirena and it wasn't painful at all to have inserted just a little uncomfortable. But I had bleeding for 4 months straight so me and dh went 5 months without sex. And then after I stopped it was every 25ish days and it would last 2 weeks not heavy but the flow would go from normal to light during the day. I'm happy to be protected but it was a rough start my doctor just kept saying it's worth it to tough it out and I guess it really is I'm not preg and don't have to worry about it at all. I couldn't imagine remembering a pill or geta shot."


"I took this when I was ovulating , I know we were being reckless . I haven't gotten my period it's 4 days late now, and I took two pregnancy test and both came out negative.. Not sure if I worked because I still haven't gotten my period"


"It really works, you must eat before Fastin, then go to the gym, if you feel your heart hoes quick. Just take half pill and everything will be right. I'm 35 year old and with gym and my half pill of Fastin I feel perfect in my weight of my 15 year's past."


"Without going into my whole story about this drug and the events that lead me up to the point of taking it, I will just say my piece about it and move on.  At the risk of sounding cliche, it is a miracle drug.  It completely changed my life, for the better.  I really cant even begin to say all the specific things it helped me change about myself.  I'm not normally the type of person who will get on the Internet and give kudos to a product of any kind, but with this I am.  Look into it!"


"My daughter is 11 months and has taken Omnicef for 4 days now. Using it for bilateral ear infection. She has spit up a few times but is feeling a whole lot better.  No other side effects. Hopefully she will keep getting better. Only time will tell. Definitely would recommend this antibiotic."


"I was diagnosed Bipolar II back in January after an episode at work. My psychiatrist prescribed lamictal 25mg. I slowly titrated up and am now at 100mg. I was nervous to take it after reading some scary reviews, but it's been a lifesaver for me! I'm finally feeling "normal". I have a lot more stability with my moods. It's even made my moods less intense and not as long lasting. It's also somehow helped me with anxiety. Finally my moods aren't effecting my work or relationships. And I've had zero side effects. I love lamictal so so much."


"I was 23 when I developed my first DVT and was instantly put on Xarelto.  Being low risk, I was told to go on with normal activity.  Xarelto left me feeling exhausted after minimal activity.  Two days later, my DVT moved through my heart, into my lungs causing a PE.  I was put on Heparin while in the hospital.  Left the hospital a few days later and resumed Xarelto with the continued awful side effects.  I continued to experience chest pain, shortness of breath, and extreme exhaustion.  My doctor thought I was having a reaction to the medicine so they switched me to Eliquis.  Since then, I have had zero side effects.  I have my life back for once.  Love that you don't need to have your INR checked, and foods don't counteract the drug."


"I was originally on loestrin 24 fe, CVS switched me to junel which was the generic brand. At first my body was doing all right with it, but I began to get very depressed and I would wake up have terrible panic attack where if felt like I couldn't breathe. I lost my sex drive too, I felt Asexual. I got off junel and took a month off. Now I am on viorele which I started two days ago so it is too soon to tell, hopefully this works well with my body. Junel was the first pill that I spotted with. I started taking birth control due to extremely painful periods where I would throw up."


"So after my boyfriend and I had sex we realized the condom had broke inside of me. I was terrified and in shock,  all I could think about was my  future, disappointing everyone, & how I'd be looked at during school. I took Plan B less than 30 mins afterwards and started my period 2 days later as crazy as that was. So pretty much the sooner you take it, the better is very true but I believe it could definitely change it by even 3 wks because of another girl who went through the same thing. So don't be scared it's a great pill and invest in it! Put money aside if you could possibly be at risk because no one thinks their condom will break."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Hello, just wanted to let everyone know this stuff wasn't bad at all....it didn't even taste horrible. Just had a really strong lemonade taste. No after taste. .just make sure to add lemonade crystal light and chill before taking. Took first dose of 32oz at 1pm...downed it in 10 mins. After started having bowel movements throughout the day. No pain or bloating just lots of intestinal rumbling.  My second dose, took at 5am.. this one took a lil bit longer to drink maybe about 40 mins since it was so early...taking the 16oz pf water was much harder.  But did it!!  Had a few more movements for about 4hrs, and was ready!! I was so terrified the day i picked up the mix literally cried thinking it was going to be bad. But it wasn't. Best prep."


"I have been on a variety of pills for years and loved them all, wish they would stop discontinuing them (and my insurance would just cover all pills, not just some). But I was removed from Gildess b/c it was discontinued, and put on Blisovi. I did two months of it and the only side effect, which was too awful, was being constipated. There must be more iron in it than the others. I stopped taking it b/c I always felt pain in my stomach and could never go to the bathroom properly...for two months!

I am screwed now b/c my insurance won't cover anything else, and everything else is being recalled. I really am beyond frustrated and not sure what to do anymore."


"Acanya is awesome. I had a pizza face and my mom got me some to use; my acne started clearing up in a few hours, and now a week later my skin is completely clear."


"Helps me to sleep better but no good for panic attacks and only side effects hypotension"


"I've had problems with birth control pills and in my 30s I tried a Paragard IUD and loved it. Two years ago I tried Mirena because my OB-GYN didn't have Paragard in stock.  I started to gain weight almost immediately and my mood swings from anxiety to depression.  Everyone said that the hormone dose is too low to cause problems and to give my body time to adjust. Recently my doctor removed the Mirena and noted that I used to have low blood pressure, but now it's high, and I've gained over 10 lbs. (same problems I had on birth control pills). I've always had light periods so Mirena provided little benefit and miserable side effects."


"I have been on this medication for almost a month now. I suffer from severe cystic acne, and within the first 2 weeks it completely got rid of my cysts, although I did continue to break out the first 2 weeks with regular pimples, although now, coming to the end of my first month I have noticed significant results and I am looking forward to one more month of this medication to see full results."


"3 out of 10 only because it does clean out your system.  However, the pain I feel with them is horrible.  I had never taken any laxatives before and this was my first one, so when I first took it a few months ago I thought the extreme cramping, sweats and pain were normal experiences and just what happens when consumed.  I took them last night around 2am before I went to bed, and when I was in the shower this morning around 8 am all the symptoms hit me at once.  I ended up having to quickly get out and threw up before I even dried off.  After I threw up, the pain got worse and not only could I not get off the toilet but I could not stop throwing up at the same time.  The symptoms last for hours and is not worth it!"


"I have intermittent problems with mild depression and moderate anxiety usually due to financial stress. I have been taking 50 mg for a week and I have noticed that my anxiety has been substantially reduced. And I notice no negative side effects with Pristiq. I only notice that I am more energetic and awake all day long. I have no sleepiness during the day or trouble sleeping (problems I've had on other drugs). Really good medicine so far. I don't give it a 10 only because I have only been taking it for a week. I'm curious to see if the effects last longer term."


"Pain and non stop coughing for over a month. I took one pill with food with dinner and felt relief within 20 min. Slept great and felt much better the next morning."


"For effectiveness in my case, this medicine gets a 1.  For keeping me manic the entire time it was prescribed, it gets a 10.  My bipolar mania even seemed to be triggered and brought on originally from this.  A huge and long episode ensued about 2 weeks into its initial use.  For the most part, the mania was of the more pleasant and euphoric type, rather than the agitated and awful one.  It did do one thing.  It made me absolutely certain that I had bipolar disorder, without a single doubt.  It worked effectively on my late mother, but just kept me artificially happy.  Like any psych med, it's hit or miss and, essentially, I struck out."


"Had to switch to this after sertraline didn't work when I tried to go back on it. OCD blew up as soon as I stopped my previous SSRI and I ended up sick. Always consult your doctor and if you have severe OCD, it's an SSRI for life... Fluoxetine had the usual side effects: suicidal, anxious, worsening of depression and tiredness. Unfortunately you just have to work through this with these meds. After a few weeks I started to see some slow progress and my obsessions decreased. I was still severely depressed and I augmented this with risperidone. That too made me a bit crazy for a few days but after a couple of weeks I was able to return to work after 3 months off. These meds take time. 18 months on I'm just on fluoxetine 60mg and feel great!"


"I was 24 this was my first birth control.My weight initially fluctuate from 115lb to 120 but never more. On this birth control for 1 year i had notice increase in appetite.Breast size increase from a Small B been like that forever to a full C.Weight increased to 145lb In 1 year.Skin was slightly clearer but has occasional breakout on chin meaning hormonal imbalance.Asked my NP to switch me to a lower hormone BCP because of weight gain she says it's might be my diet that has to change but I insisted. She change me to nuva ring. Tried it for 6 months convinent but gained more weight up to 151lb. I'm getting off these hormone birth control they are increasing my appetite. Unmotivational mood

I'm changing to Paraguard IUD no hormone."


"I have been taking Apri since April 09. I have endometriosis and was told to either do hormone therapy or go on a different birth control, so I chose the birth control. My periods used to be unbearable but since starting this pill my cramps are actually bearable and much lighter! The only downfall is the first 2 weeks of the active pills I have noticed I am terribly moody, and will cry over anything, which isn't the way I've ever been!"


"This is the only medicine that will get rid of my migraines. I have been trying to find it at a pharmacy since March and no one has it. Please do not discontinue it."


"I got the implant in October 2009 shortly after my second son. Recently I ended up in the hospital with a ruptured ovarian cyst. My OB says that the cysts could have been caused by the Implanon and that it needed to be taken out immediately so that my body would regulate itself again. I loved the Implanon and until recently I never had bad periods, weight gain or any of the other side effects, but be aware of all the possible risks."


"I've been on junel fe for 4months and this is my 3rd period. The first month taking it was ok until I got my period. I swore that I was dying! I've had bad periods before the pain and the flow that I had completely topped what I thought was pain. My flow was extremely heavy. I couldn't eat and when I did I couldn't keep it down. I was taking hot showers using heating pads and still nothing worked. I broke out all over with acne and i have only ever had 1 or 2 pimples in my life at the same time. I had the worst back and leg pain of my life! Thank god for Ibuprofen800. Happily I will say since then no pain ,4day period,and light. And things are going great. It's a dark tunnel but there is light at the end."


"I feel like I am going to itch my legs and feet off. I have a red bumpy rash.  I had better go back to Doctor in the morning. I hate this -  my legs and feet are so swelled up.  Do not take this drug I ended up worse than I was. Thanks FDA"


"It's been 3 weeks and I'm down 9.4 pounds, this is my second time around, last year I lost more, but am still happy with the weight loss, but I do log my food intake daily, workout and walk 6-10 miles a week. When off this medication just continue to eat and workout the same, you will only gain back if you go back to your old eating. I had a family matter that threw me off, but I'm ready again and it's been a great help!"


"I've been on Lyza for 13 months and my period is so irregular. I once didn't get it for 2 months and every month it never comes at the same time, and I take the pill at the same time every single day. I don't have any other side effects. I wish I could just take an estrogen pill again because everything was fine when I took that!!!!"


"Very effective for the sinus congestion and sinus drip.  However, continuous use resulted in leg cramps at night.  Interfered with sleep.  Research says that it can reduce blood flow to legs."


"Week 3 on Chantix and I love it. I am a non smoker. Wow, I can actually say that after 12 years of smoking. Mild side effects so far, fatigue at times, moody (but control it), not really sure how it is affecting my brain. I would recommend it to friends and family. Good Luck to all. "


"50 years old, 1st colonoscopy.  I scheduled an 8 am exam.
I suggestion you have a 11 am exam.
You take the 1st packets of A & B for MoviPrep (MP) around 6 pm that night.
I suggest you drink about 12 to 16 ounces of water prior to drinking the MP, otherwise it makes you dizzy. Things will start happening between an half to 2 hours later.  I probably had 30 flushes of the toilet before I got to bed around 10:30 pm.   Had to wake up at 2:30 am for the 2nd batch.  Repeated above, but this time I drank it all in about 30 minutes with another 16 ounces of water just prior.  Your BM's will be all liquid, at least 40 flushes before I was finished.  The urine was bright yellow, like you took a B vitamin. Good stuff!"


"I quit smoking 12/7/2007 while using Chantix. I have not touched a cigarette since.  I do not crave cigarettes.  I do not think about them. I tried everything around to quit but not until Chantix did it take. I love the freedom from not worrying if I have enough cigarettes and I can't imagine the cost of it now. I remember it caused some nausea and vivid dreams. I wasn't a happy person while quitting but the end goal was so worth it. NO COUGH ANYMORE! I almost forgot about that annoying smoker's cough. It goes away. It really does. Wishing everyone good luck and good health."


"I've been on Claravis for almost 2 weeks now. I have severe cyst on my chin but since taking this medication it is bringing those down, even the redness is clearing up. I'm experiencing dry lips and had one nose bleed, but overall this medicine seems to work. My doctor said I will experience some breakouts first and then my face should start clearing. My old pimples are coming out but it looks like they are never going to come back. Good luck to all and we shall see my results since I got 5 months to go."


"Yes, it was quite painful to insert even with two Tyleno-3 tablets and a numbing gel,  however totally worth it as birth control. But... I've gained 60 pounds in 8 months! I'm eating very clean - no sugar, no junk food, barely any carbs and I'm a heifer now!!! Going to my gynecologist tomorrow and getting it removed, I can't deal with this anymore!"


"I just started taking Seroquel(50mg) for now at bed time, and will eventually increase the dose to 150mg when told to by my doctor. So far, I have experienced serious trouble waking up the next morning, but my doctor says this will go away as I continue to take it. As a teenager, I can honestly say it has helped so far, and that I highly recommend it to others who have struggled as I have."


"I started taking Effexor for post menopausal symptoms.  My symptoms were mostly irritability. Within a week I noticed a dramatic change. My dosage was started at 35mg once a day but was increased to 75mg once a day. I have not had any of the side affects associated with this medicine."


"I've had spring allergies as far back as I can remember.   I get severe sinus pressure, loose focus,  lose energy,  etc. The inflammation in my body makes my blood feel like it's on fire.  I get a Kenalog shot 1-2 times every spring and it has been more effective than anything I've every used in my life.  The world comes into focus and my body feels like it comes back to life throughout the course of the day that I get it.  Usually lasts 3-4 months for me and works wonders in my life."


"I have been on the Implanon for the 3 allowed years now. My periods are completely random and have zero sex drive. No weight gain besides my own body's growth has come from the pill. Overall it is a decent and easy form of birth control and very effective. I will be having it removed today but not replaced, plan on switching to a different form."


"I received 3 pints of blood in 1982 when my son was born 10 weeks early. I found out I had 1aC in 1995 w/mild cirrosis, 600,000 VL. Today marked the end of my 4th week Harv. I had blood work done n find out Tuesday if the virus is gone. I'm on the 12 week treatment and I'm terrified of medicine but I stay focused on the end result of being rid of this. Take at noon with food on my stomach. Drink lots of water. ALT was 100 now 21. No diarrhea or insomnia. First 10 days flu like, dizziness, stuffy and hoarse ,mild headache. Already feel like a new person tho. Side effects almost gone. MORE ENERGY and enthusiasm. Take rest time when needed.. Just hold my breath and counting the days. Try to not dwell on it. Thankful for cure!"


"I have had multiple compound fractures in addition to severe degenerative disk disease from a car accident which also resulted in a broken back (compression fracture) at my L1-L2 level. I have had a total of 4 reconstructive spinal surgeries, with the most recent being in 12/2010. I have rods/spacers in my cervical and lumbar spine areas. I  could not take Lortab long term as it affected my personality in a very negative way. I am currently on Norco and it works quite well for me. I stick to the dosing schedule and have not had problems."


"Lowered blood pressure but, caused severe hair loss (I saw clumps of hair in drain after every shower) and depression! I have since learned that this 'side effect' is known as 'beta-blocker blues'.  However, my M.D. switched me to Tenormin (another beta-blocker) which did NOT have these side effects."


"I have been on this medicine for almost 2 months now. It has helped a little with anxiety but not as much as Clonazepam. I am now on 15mg of Saphris, 5mg in the morning and 10mg at night. It messes with my sleep, with agitation to the point where sometimes it hurts. It is also very expensive for someone without insurance of some kind. Also a trick I used for the horrible taste is Crystal Light powder by sprinkling it on my tongue when I take the medicine."


"I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for years. That last year my anxiety has reached the point of almost constant panic. It is affecting every aspect of my life, and worst of all my confidence in doing my job. I have been desperately seeking some relief. I have had ruminating thoughts, fear of death/failure, overall guilt, etc. Anyways, I have been on the medication for 10 days. The first 6 were wonderful. I actually got out of bed and played with my kids! However the last four days the an anxiety is creeping back. Doc just upped my dose to 150 from the 100 (SR generic). Hopefully this will work out because I've tried SSRI's and SSNRI's and they make me feel like I'm going to flip out. Complete worsening of depression and anxiety."


"I have been on a low hormone pill for almost 10 years, this one has been the worst. I've been taking Gildess for about 4 months now and have noticed the worst of the side effects within the last two months. I'm incredibly moody, kind of depressed (weird highs and lows), almost no sex drive whatsoever and have gained about 10 pounds. I really don't feel like myself anymore and unfortunately it took me a while to figure out that it was the birth control that has been causing this. I will be switching ASAP."


"I've been taking the 80mcg for going on 3 weeks now and I don't feel like its doing any good.  I am still using my rescue inhaler 2-4xs a day.  I also in the last week have developed what feels like a lump in my throat and trouble swallowing/dry throat along with headaches."


"My son was started on abilify after 11 years on zyprexa. First he was zombie like and now a year later he is paranoid, delutional and a lot of cognitive deficits .Worst drug ever!!!!"


"I'm on the 4th week of taking Contrave, with 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening.  So far the only side effects I've experienced was in the second week, I started getting dry mouth and motion sickness when in the car. The motion sickness stopped after a week. I still get dry mouth but I can deal with that. The first 3 weeks it didn't seem to suppress my appetite, but I successfully stopped a life long habit of drinking soda with no cravings. Since I started taking the full dose it's now controlling my appetite. The past 4 days I have no desire to snack and I feel very full after eating half of a meal and I continue to have that full feeling long after eating. So far 5 lbs down with no exercise. I'm optimistic, time will tell."


"I've been taking this pill for 6 months now and I'm calling my doctor today to switch. I'm constantly tired, my cramping is more painful than when I was on a different pill that was discontinued, I have 10 days periods when I used to have 3-4 day ones, headaches all the time, and absolutely no sex drive whatsoever. The only positive thing I can say is no pregnancies!"


"Over the years, through the overuse of antibiotics, I developed side effects to penicillin, the mycins, and Cipro. However, I am still able to take Lorabid with no side effects and it is successful in treating my sinusitis, when taken for the full course of treatment."


"I tried the medication first with the other medications given to me by my doctor. Then I tried it while off the other medicines.  Both times I got totally debilitating headaches. They affected both the head and the stomach.  I have given it all the chances I am willing to give.  "


"I am 61 years old, diagnosed high blood pressure when 18 years old.  I was 6'1"  when 18 and weighed 175, 29" pant size with 44 coat size.  Have taken drugs for over 40 years trying to keep blood pressure in the 150 over 100 range. (Vasotec, Lotril, and others).  Started  Azor (lowest dose available), 2 years ago and have never had a  reading over 120/80!  No side effects for me and I feel great."


"Been on it for 5 year started on 50mg now on 300mg as duloxetine 60mg and even tho its helped with swinges in still feel it all trapped behind a locked door and i know its the medication holding it back and every time it breaks through i end up on higher and higher doses"


"I have been using Junel 1/20 for almost 3 years now. The only positives I have experienced are no cramping and stabilized moods. My period consists of 2 weeks of spotting which I find incredibly annoying, I would rather have 1 week of a regular period. The worst side effect for me has been weight gain and the inability to lose weight. Over 3 years I have gained 20-25 lbs. I am unable to lose it despite having consistently worked out for 4-5 days a week with a personal trainer. I have completely changed my eating habits (cut out pop, fast food, and cut back on sugar and alcohol). I kept thinking it was my fault but after being committed to weight loss for 2 years  and seeing no results, I blame this pill."


"I have tried various antidepressants for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Dysthymia. Only Paxil and Prozac have been mildly effective for the depressive aspect. Most of them have helped with the anxiety that often goes along with such conditions. Viibryd is the first medication that has been very effective for me. It lifted the fog and gloomy feeling and it increased my energy, focus, and alertness. I feel 10 years younger and fresher. In the beginning and with each titration there were some mild GI issues that lasted 2-4 days. There was some difficulty with sleep in the beginning and with each upward titration, but sleep eventually improved. Incidentally, Viibryd has also increased my libido."


"Got the implant Sep 17, 2015. First couple weeks I got headaches. My face and hair got extra greasy. I use to be good with showering every other day, by anymore. I haven't had period since September 2015, which has been awesome but it's affected my sex life and my weight. It caused me to be very dry during intercourse. :/ and it hurts. Also the weight I have gained is Insane. When I got the inpalnt I was 159lbs. In Jan 2016 I had a check up and I was 180lbs. Last week I talked to the nurses out the weight issue and it had gone up again  to 197lbs. I dont eat bad and I'm constantly active being a flight attendant and swim coach. Made appt at end of month to get removed. :("


"It takes several days for an antibiotic to start working and you must take them as prescribed and finish the whole prescription even when you feel better."


"Been on Saphris for about two months. Taste is bad but the benefits of medicine far outway that. Only side effect is slight numbness in mouth after taking pill but that goes away after about 30 minutes. No other side effects. Racing thoughts, shadows, voices, have now disappeared. First time that has happened in years. Have been able to decrease dosages of other medicines and wean off some all together. So far it has been a miracle drug for me. Feel better now than I ever have."


"You know, I have to say that reading most these reviews scared me but I went ahead and took Tri-Sprintec anyway after being automatically switched from Tri-Cyclen Lo and I am not experiencing any side effects. I don't even notice a difference so my advice to other people is to try it out and not base your opinion on these reviews because each women's body will react differently to any prescription medicine and you will never know if it's a fit for you until you give it a try."


"I started Microgestin 1/20 at age 38 for painful periods due to endometriosis. The first two days I was so sick, but it went away. I think my situation is unique because I was put on this pill to reduce periods. I skip the placebo pill week, and continue onto the next pack of active pills to avoid a period. Its amazing! My "gut" finally feels great! A few not so great things: 5 LB. weight gain almost immediately. GAS. I became really gassy. Not cute. Not sure how to deal with that. SWEET TOOTH. Never had it before. Now I've got one. Overall, I'm pleased."


"About one week after I started taking it, I started with mild leg cramps.  After 3 weeks, I couldn't stand it anymore.  They would wake me up at night and throb, so I stopped taking it.  I can't really rate effectiveness as I wasn't on it long enough."


"This medicine helped me. Felt better after day 2."


"Love this medicine. I have lost 24.7 pounds in just 3 1/2 weeks! The only side effects I had was in the first week and it was dry eyes and mouth and I have not done that much exercising yet.  I am so full of energy. I went from sleeping all day and no desire to do anything - to up and going like I use to be.  I have a long way to go (70 lbs.) but I am looking forward to it. Everyday I get on the scale I have lost more, but if you want to lose the weight and keep it off you must eat correctly. It is a lifestyle change not a quick fix. You can't expect to be on these pills a long time. They just help you get to your goal, then it's up to you to make sure you don't go back to your old ways. Been there done that, not again. Try this medicine."


"My son is 19 and has had severe tics (screaming, mumbling, spitting, punching motions to name a few) for 4 years after having moderate symptoms since he was diagnosed at age 4.  Last Monday, at our new neurologist's office, he was ticing roughly once a minute.  He was prescribed Abilify, and the next day noticed a remarkable decrease in his tics.  Unfortunately, he also had an extremely uncomfortable sense of restlessness.  The doctor cut his dose in half, and my son has been experiencing mild tics approximately four times an hour since.  This has been a miracle for him.  He does not take any other medications.  In the past, he had tried Abilify, but was taking Orap at the time as well, and had an increase in tics."


"History of aches fatigue 10 yrs. mostly in early morning . I started taking lyrica 50 mg just one week ago  at 50 mg twice a day.  Very Slight dizziness with first pill however 90 percent better  within couple days . no more morning profound aches. More energy. Maybe a little too much energy. Going to try just  an early morning low dose 50 mg.   over all  I am very pleased."


"I've used percocet for pain in the past (several nasty dental surgeries). I couldn't help but notice one user's comment that it helped with her depression. I have social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder and whenever I take percocet I feel absolutely normal again. I become very focused and energetic (much less scatter-brained and terrified of everything) and am very productive. I have told my psycho pharmacologist this but didn't seem to get anywhere with it. I know that you can't take this drug forever but it's too bad there isn't something that can be learned from this. Interesting that someone else feels the same way."


"I've had the Nexplanon for about three weeks now and I have already decided I will be getting it removed. The first week was the worst for me, I became extremely depressed, I had terrible pain and slept all day and barely left my house for a week. The second week I started bleeding and up to this point, I am still bleeding. I have been feeling more aggressive, more headaches, more fatigue and I have noticed that I have lost patience and am starting to push people away, which is why I'm getting it removed. I'm sure it is effective and also because who would want to have sex feeling this shitty! I have had no sex drive ever since and I wouldn't be able to have sex anyway because I'm bleeding as if I've been on my period for weeks"


"I've had ParaGard for about 9 months now, and I LOVE it. Insertion was nearly painless, and I love the fact that there are no hormones. I'm still nursing, so I don't have my cycle back yet. I previously had the Mirena, and the side effects were awful, but I am so pleased this time around! I would absolutely recommend ParaGard to anyone looking for effective birth control with minimal side effects."


"I was on celexa for about 3 months, started with 10 mg. and raised up to 20 when I felt no changes. After going up to 20, i felt constantly tired, drowsy and like a walking zombie. My anxiety and depression only got worse, it caused me to have thoughts of suicide and self harm and I just felt worse overall. My experience on celexa was terrible and I would not recomend this drug at all."


"I am a 49 year old woman with acne, rosacea, and sensitive skin and I have finally found a solution in Aczone.  My face is nearly clear.  I won't say it's perfect, because I do have an occasional stray bump here and there, but my whole face simply calmed down.  I've reduced the number of medications I use to three - aczone, oracea and kuric cream.  I am not photosensitive to this like I have been to other topical treatments. It is a little drying but nothing like some other medicines I've tried. I found an improvement almost immediately. I am thankful that it has been placed on the market. It's worth every penny to me."


"I was prescribed Trazodone a few days ago for insomnia. Before, I would wake up several times a night for as long as 30 to 40 minutes at a time. Now I take my pill, wait about 30 minutes, go to bed and fall asleep right away, and I never wake up! I also take Celexa every day which has helped my depression, but the Trazodone is wonderful! I highly recommend this medicine for insomnia/sleep deprivation."


"I have been prescribed alprazolam (Xanax) and a variety of other benzodiazipines for the past ten years when I was first diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, my dosage is 2mg 2 x daily. This was recently reduced from 2mg 3 x daily and I admit I do suffer a little but I make the best of it. The most important thing about Xanax is it is addictive and NEVER suddenly stop taking it! You could suffer from what's called a "Benzodiazipine withdrawal seizure". You need to taper your dose down. This is a PROPER and safe way to wean off. But overall, wonderful medicine for anxiety!

"i was prescribed this drug for allergies and wheezing. The first couple weeks I noticed the wheezing stopped but I became very agitated and aggressive. Then I started waking up with panic attacks. When I stopped taking it my face swelled up. This medicine also made me very nauseas and gave me horrible stomach cramps. I had to stop it after a month."


"I've been on zyclara close to a year. Only off of it for about 3 weeks in a year. My limbs are covered with hundreds of actinic keratosis and I also have had squamous cell carcinoma removed.    I am now experiencing swollen and tender lymph nodes under my arms and in my groin.  Is this aside affect of the zyclara or is this a sign that the cancer squarmous cell has spread.  Any info would be appreciated"


"I suffer from insomnia pretty bad. I can fall asleep easily but by 1 or 1:30, I'm wide awake. I worked in a bakery for 8 years and recently had to quit, I couldn't function like a normal person anymore. I saw several doctors and psychiatrists, all who at one point or another, prescribed me Ambien. I had some pretty weird episodes on this medicine. I would get up and rearrange cabinets, naked, in the middle of the night.  My husband got very upset with me. I found a great doctor who finally diagnosed me with bipolar II, with a little OCD and depression. My medicines are where I like them and he prescribed me Lunesta. This is a much better sleep aid and I am finally sleeping a full night."


"I have Bipolar 2 plus Panic Disorder. I started Vraylar about 10 days ago and have had a wonderful experience. It has made my days feel more stable and helped keep me calm at night when my panic attacks come. Looking forward to healing more and more.

FYI my cocktail is:

Lamictal

Amitriptyline

Ativan

Guanfacine (motor tics)

Liothyronine (hypothyroid)

I'm not sure yet if insurance will cover the expense of the drug, but for now I'm maxed out on my out of pocket for the year, so it's free. I guess I'll find out in January how much it will really cost.

Reading reviews of this drug really freaked me out at first, but now I'm so glad I tried it. Give it a try for a few days!"


"I got the Skyla inserted a week ago and it was pretty rough. The actual process of getting it in did not bother me but after I had awful cramps, felt nauseous and lightheaded. The cramps have not gone away but have lightened a little bit. The doctor said I was feeling pain because I have a "sensitive uterus" and have never had kids. Haven't bled at all though which is nice."


"I had suffered from anxiety for years, but was hesitant to try Prozac.  As I got older, my anxiety got worse.  I started having panic attacks on a regular basis, and it was getting harder for me to plan normal activities.  I finally asked my therapist to put me on an anti-depressant.  We decided on fluoxetine.

The first two months were VERY difficult for me.  I had every side-effect in the book.   But I hung in there, as my doctor said to give it two months.

Around 7 or 8 weeks, the side-effects subsided, and since then, my life has been SO much better.  I haven't had a panic attack in a year.  Little annoyances roll off my back.  But I'm still me.

My advice is give it time.  It can be a frustrating journey, but well worth it in the end."


"Loved it as a contraceptive, didn't so much love the weight gain. Didn't get pregnant so it did the job! I suffered severe ovarian cysts in the past (3 surgeries before age 17) and was on Microgynon 30/50 tablets for 4 years. Decided to opt for Implanon purely for convenience, and initially it was terrific. No side effects except weight gain. I had it from January 2014 to December 2014, had one period in that time (used to be 28 days on the dot). Absolutely fantastic, but I was slowly gaining weight despite eating the healthiest I have and going to the gym at least three times a week. Spoke to my Doc, she said I was unfortunately in the teeny tiny minority that just packed on weight. Whipped it out there and then, now back on Microgynon."


"I take Robaxin so that I can stay awake and alert in the daytime, and do more with less pain. I'm on Paracetamol, gabapentin and morphine. If I up the doses of these I become unconscious but if I take Robaxin at night, it helps me sleep. Odd. Not sure of side effects as I have so many from the other medicines. A balancing act of trial and error is needed but well worth getting rid of the pain for a while."


"I find when I have those nights that my brain just can't settle down, either a .5 or 1 mg Ativan will help me relax just enough to get a restful sleep. Usually I feel totally energized and fresh the next morning. This is the only thing I have found in almost 20 years that works. However, I can only use it on my worst nights, as it is addictive. That's the only drawback."


"This has been a miracle for me, it keeps my mind calm and in balance. I had delusions coupled with moderate to severe mood disturbances and this puts me back on the normal spectrum."


"Dopamine and norepinephrine are two major brain chemicals in the feelings of romantic love.
Serotonin (key in SSRIs) actually suppresses dopamine and inhibits feelings.
This dopamine and norepinephrine (a stimulant) reuptake inhibitor can help and and DRIVE without sexual side effects, weight gain, and apathy caused by SSRIs.
Often prescribed with an SSRI to counteract side effects of it.
Also it is reported to have few side effects (unless you suffer from a seizure disorder that is).
I recommend this over an SSRI or in addition to one."


"As far as the birth control working, it does. I got it in May of 2015 and I have not had a period since then and didn't get pregnant. It's convenient.

I had it removed because I delevoped HORRIBLE acne it's never been a problem until the birth control. Also I couldnt seem to loose weight before the pill I lost 70 pounds and I couldnt seem to loose any weight and did what my nutritionist and personal trainer told me. Once getting off my face cleared and I'm finally loosing my weight again."


"My triglyceride level was 1317 and in one year dropped to 238."


"I am 15 and a half, and I have been on Accutane for about one month now, and I have noticed my acne has gotten terribly worse. I'm breaking out all around my mouth, which was not my problem area when I was not on it. I have had bad back pains, but I am a dancer, so I don't know if its from that, or the medicine. I recently went to the dermatologist, and he upped my dose from 40 mg to 60 mg. Besides dry lips, I have not had any other side effects. My skin wasn't even drying out, which is one reason why my dermatologist upped the dose. I really hope my skin starts clearing up soon."


"I have been on bupropion for about a year, 150mg taken every morning.  I noticed a difference on day 2.  Everything was just normal.  Not bad normal, but good normal, like you woke up after having a really good sleep - and like a weight or pressure has been lifted.  It's really hard to describe.  Everything seems better. I kid you not.  Music sounds clearer, looking around outside, it looks clearer...like I am out of a fog.  So...I tried an experiment while I went on vacation.  Didn't take anything for 2 weeks.  My mood slowly returned to negative.  Little things ticked me off, that shouldn't have.  I decided to go back on.  Same effect on the next day, mood lifted.  It gives me slight insomnia, but also takes away some appetite. Great."


"Imitrex has truly been a miracle for me. I'm 36 and I've been having terrible headaches since as far back as I can remember. No over the counter medication ever made any difference in the pain at all.  5 years ago I was prescribed Imitrex and it has literally changed my life.  It normally takes an hour or two for it to kick in for me, but when it does, it completely takes my headache away.  I have never had any side effects either."


"Been on it 2 days, does 0 for me. Cough is still horrible! Don't waste your money."


"I have had a great experience with Nexplanon. I have not experienced any side effects at all. I've actually lost weight since I've been on it. Yes the arm was bruised for a few days but that went away fast. It's way better than getting pregnant! I've spotted for a short period of time and did not experience my period the first month. I'm in heaven with it. Painless procedure, didn't feel a thing."


"Made my asthma so much better."


"I was given a dose of delaudid through IV for severe headache associated with an infection. As soon as the nurse began pushing the syringe I had a horrible taste in the back of my throat, my breathing and chest felt very heavy, my ears felt clogged and I became very sleepy. These all lasted for around 4 hours, along with extreme nausea! The nurse said "yea a lot of people don't like dilaudid it makes them feel pretty funny." Good thing I was also taking Zofran or I would have been vomiting my brains out."


"I've been on Epiduo for about a month. And yes, for the first week and a half, maybe 2 weeks, my skin was irritated and it burned when I put the gel on. However it subsides over time. Today when I put it, there is 0 irritation. Anyway, I had a breakout when I was started but right now, my skin is pretty clear and amazing compared to before. I do still get a few pimples here and then but nothing major and definitely not like anything compared to before. I will say that using Epiduo in the first month has its ups and downs. There'll be some days where you'll be like 'This isn't even helping!' But just wait it out."


"Okay, the original lunesta was extremely effective, I received samples. For 330 month  I couldn't get prescription. So years later they have a generic version. I got a months worth for 111$$. At 3 mg nothing......so I try 6mg.....nothing no bad or good to report! These pills are FRAUD!!!! I'm well accustomed to meds and the generic I took did nothing. I'd get more effect from sugar pill!! I'm getting this so others can see not all generics are equal. There are various companys. I didn't know this, so if you suspect your med isn't up to particular like it used to be.....check the maker!! I'm very upset about this. I'm out $111 for the month for a fake pill made by the company"


"It really works ."


"I am on Aviane now and very pleased with it besides the few pounds and easy bloating IT is great! My periods are lighter less painful and come exactly when they are supposed to. It has also worked to skip my period. I am very happy to have found this."


"I am very surprised many women are having problems with this pill. This pill has stopped all my cramping and been amazing. You will get side effects the first 3 months but after that it will be really good. No period is a plus for me."


"My crotch is burning with the fire of a thousand suns. Like it was mild itching before I bought the one day treatment. My doctor told me to get the over the counter treatment. I put the cream on the outside of my vagina. It stop the itch but then it began to burn and I mean burn like hell!"


"I am on my second pack of Seasonique. Day 2 of the yellow pills and my period hasn't come yet. Could be because 2 weeks ago I had a 10 day period with heavy clotting. I have had no bad side effects other than lack of sex drive which doesn't bother me since I am not having sex. I am using this to treat my ovarian cysts that have grown back."


"I was put on citalopram for two years. It worked well, but when I finally tried to wean off of it the withdrawal was unbelievable. Now I am weaning off ever so slowly, but it is still rough. "


"Restored my health significantly without side effects."


"I've been on it for 3 months, and it's pretty good. Your acne does get semi worse for the first couple months but at month 3, I can see that my skin is clearing up. I would say 8/10 in terms of how much it's helped my skin. I don't think I've gained much weight, but my boobs have definitely gotten bigger. No loss of sex drive for me, but it has not helped my period cramps/aches at all. I think it's only made my period marginally lighter. It does what it does, fairly well, and it's completely covered by my insurance. There have been no negative side effects as of now."


"I never had any problems. Best one I've taken."


"When I first started it I got really emotional & would get irritated easily but that all subsided after the first month or so. No weight gain, no acne, no pregnancy lol. But about the only downfall to this medication is that if I don't eat quite a bit right before I take it, I'll wake up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous & not able to go back to sleep. I can't just eat a cracker or some chips & take it, my stomach has to be full. Different medications effect everyone differently so that might just be me but I'm kinda curious as to whether anyone else has had this side effect from this medication?"


"I never got pregnant on this stuff so it works well for that. I started taking this for my debilitating cramps and heavy periods and it really didn't do much. Plus, I gained 15 lbs after starting this and had absolutely ZERO sex drive. I didn't even want my fiancé to touch me. I found myself being completely moody. It helped with acne except when I was about to start my period, I broke out like crazy. Now that I am off my sex drive is back to normal and my periods haven't really changed."


"I had Mirena placed 6 months ago to control excessive bleeding during periods.  I am 38 and have had one child.

The placement was extremely painful for me even with taking 800 mg of ibuprofen prior to the procedure.  That being said, I have friends who have had it placed with no more pain than what you'd expect during a pap smear.  It all depends on the person.

My periods are tremendously lighter, to the point that I can almost get by with only a liner. So Mirena has served its purpose.  On the down side, I spot frequently between periods, have reoccurring yeast infections, mild acne, less sex drive, and mood swings.  My orgasms are no where near as intense as they used to be and I frequently get mild cramping and lower backaches."


"Ruptured tendons..."


"On 2 months of 20mg per day.  The first 5 weeks were not bad with side effects at all.  I noticed a slight mood elevation but nothing more.  In week 6 I hit some side effects like insomnia and had 6 hours of bad sleep over 5 days.  Completely miserable time.  Seemed like once that passed, I got the benefits significantly."


"My hot flashes has reduced tremendously.   Initially,  I thought it was not working until I stopped taking it. When I went back on the meds I have been almost normal.   I am pleased"


"Caffeine worked better for my ADHD symptoms than Strattera did."


"I'm almost done with a 10 day course of 875 mg of Augmentin, twice daily.  I don't feel any relief.  I'm taking Flonase and generic Allegra D as well.  None of it helps."


"This medicine made me very sick. I was seeing things and could not function. I had to stop."


"So In March I got the implant and I am not even exaggerating I've been on my period ever since, all the time like legit all day everyday I'm spotting some days its super light other days its like Im having my period I'm giving this till the end of the month. I haven't broken out and haven't had crazy weight gain or mood swings its just the constant on my period that is bugging me. Like I said I'll give it to the end of the month until I decide to get it out."


"My personal reaction to Seroquel was essentially "The lights are on, but no one is home". I was so despondent I could handle no more than two weeks of the medication."


"My dermatologist prescribed this to me for cystic acne. While it did clear up the acne I had horrible side effects. My hair was falling out more than usual, my gums were always swollen and puffy, and the worst of it was getting cdiff. Of course cdiff is a rare side effect and I ended up getting it, but I will never take this medication again."


"I have stenosis with degenerative disk disease. On low dose and have not had surgery. xtampza is better than not having any pain relief but not by much. Very slow onset, lasts perhaps 8 hours (same as oxycontin) and unpredictible relief depending on diet."


"I have been on birth control  for about 8 years for heavy bleeding. I also have depression, which is under control with other meds, and I also have Multiple Sclerosis.
I have been on this for a month. I have breakthrough bleeding, increased depression and significant increased incontinence.
As a 26 year old,  peeing your pants fully, is more than an embarrassment."


"I've had cold sores for as long as I can remember. I always get them when I'm really stressed out. I've had up to 5 at one time. At that point, I finally went to my doctor who prescribed me Valtrex, which doesn't do much for me. I went to a dermatologist for an unrelated issue and he asked what I was taking for cold sores (I had one on my lip). He prescribed me Denavir and it works wonders. Cuts out the pain and itching and reduces healing time drastically! Luckily, I have tricare, so I have no co-pays for prescriptions. I didn't know it costs so much until I read other reviews! So thankful for my hubby being in the military!"


"I have dealt with excessive sweating ever since I was around 10 years old. Being that this problem started right as puberty did made it very hard and extremely embarrassing for me to handle. I spent hundreds of dollars on antiperspirants, natural treatments, OTC options, etc. I am now 19 and finally gave into going to my doctor to seek help. She prescribed Drysol for me and from day one of using it I have been sweat free. I can finally wear colors again and get rid of my worn out black shirts. The only problem I had was on my second night of using the product. I must have used too much and in the morning my skin was a little sore and red, but this went away with a little pain relieving cream and was gone within a few hours."


"I had my first litre in sections i.e. a 10 oz glass every 5 mins..once down away it came for the next 2 hours, I had not eaten the previous 8 hours as directed, the second litre was not required but taken. Procedure tomorrow at 11.30 am then a fantastic lunch."


"I took this medicine and had all the severe reactions listed. I found the Medication was a little slow at working as normally it is around 2-3 days before you feel better on most and I took the course for 5 days before having to give up because of the side effects and allergy to the medicines."


"I only gave it an 8 because of the side affects, flush felling, puffy face, hunger, etc, but I was in severe pain from an autoimmune issue. My back went out which in turn made my inflammation all over my body react so the pain  became unbearable. This has happened 2 times and after only the 1st day, I began to feel relief, and after day 6 I felt like a teenager again, not an old lady who can't move, so, as I don't want to be on it forever, it sure beats feeling like I can't go on anymore because of the pain."


"I have only been taking it for a couple days and I feel a little irritable and I sleep very well. I'm only twenty. But I have postpartum depression, I have had two kids. I hope that after a couple of weeks it starts getting better. I tried Cymbalta but the side effects were bad. I was irritable and could not sleep and I was tied all the time."


"The side effects from various drugs, particularly morphine caused signficant nausea.  In fact, I'd have to rate the nausea as worse than the actual pain.  Zofran worked like a charm, quite quickly, with little side effects (as far as I know).  It certainly made my recent visit to the hospital much more comfortable!"


"I've had the Nexplanon for about 4 months. Pros and cons. Pros very reliable, no worrying, and no forgetting to take or change anything. Cons extremely irregular periods; first period with it was 2 weeks then no period for 2 months. My recent period had lasted for 1 month and there is no telling when its going to end. Need to get removed NOW."


"First let me rate it a 1. I was supposed to take 25mg at bedtime. Woke up a little before 2 am, heart racing, hot flashes, extreme nausea. Spent next hour trying to sleep but heart palpitations, hot flashes then chills, vomiting and needing the bathroom.... 4 times! I have NEVER had this type of drug reaction like that!!! Unreal! Charging my insurance nearly $1,000 for a rubbish drug that makes people sick. Even people who don't have a severe reactions all have nausea! It shouldn't be legal to charge people so much for a drug. It is price gauging and insane! I still feel sick next day. Never again.  Now I am  stuck with pills worth more money than I can make and hate them."


"I have Sjogrens and extremely dry inflamed eyes. I have used plugs and a lot of different eye drops including Restasis. My doctor added Fresh Kote to my Restasis and Altrex. As badly as it stings, it coats my eye and has provided more relief than the plugs. Unfortunately I have to change insurance and it will not be covered, so I will have to pay for it on my own. I highly recommend you try it."


"Second routine colonoscopy - first one phosphasoda prep - not available anymore - terrible but clean bowel. This time on Prepopik - terrible - fainted twice - nausea - and 1/4 not cleaned out - recommended repeat in one year I don't think so -
Stuff tasted ok"


"This is the greatest acne soap on the market.  I had an extreme case of acne when  I was in high school.  After using Fostex for 2 weeks my skin was as clear as. "


"The problem I have had is with it staining my clothes."


"Been on trulicity over 8 months, 6 or so months ago, thought I had pancreatitis, stomach pain so bad, sulphur burps, stomach swollen with gas, nausea, going thru tests to find out what's wrong, then back pain that I've never had before, so severe.  Already need hips and knees replaced, but knee pain got worse , nausea  everyday and night, sipping ginger ale just to survive, can't eat, except for cheese nips....not till today did in realize all this may be caused by trulicity!! Thought I was dying!! Ugh happy to have found this site"


"Only been on for 5 months after bilateral mastectomy (no chemo or rads). First month extreme hot flashes.  In last month trouble sleeping due to hip pain and leg pain on right side - thought at first from jogging and waterskiing which I've done for years, but doesn't seem to correspond with those activities each day.  On Humira for RA, but didn't have these symptoms while on it.  Will try additional Vitamin D as suggested.  Since I had a recurrence after 23 years, do not want to stop taking."


"Tried Vesicare with Flomax for about 6 weeks. I saw a little improvement but not enough. Switched to Detrol LA and improved a great deal."


"I have been taking 40 mg of Celexa now for the past 2 weeks. I can tell quite a change in my personality and it's for the better. It's literally saving my relationship. I have experienced the nausea, but the positive is that it's helping me lose some unwanted weight that I put on from previous medications. Overall I think that it's a great medication."


"I have Fibromyalgia which causes me a great deal of pain.  I have tried many pain medications including vicodin.  I currently take amitriptyline with Carisoprodol and Tylenol w/ Codeine #3.  Amitriptyline has helped me so much and really does a great job of getting rid of the pain."


"I experienced weather related migraines the past couple years. My doctor & pharmacist commented on this increase in our area. Previously I had stress- related migraines (i.e. 30 day migraine starting a new job in 1977). Several years in my mid-40s I was headache free. Past few years I started Tylenol 3  to counter migraines & found the side effects of nausea & rebound headaches made me prefer to suffer rather than take a T3. This spring my doctor gave me a sample of Replax. I was thrilled; it worked so effectively. But unfortunately I now need Replax daily! I wake up and with movement in the morning comes the throbbing migraine almost instantly. My pharmacist says it is not a rebound headache. But it no longer is just weather caused."


"My problem is I'll always get a yeast infection on this drug, no matter how much yogurt and probiotic pills I take. It also will make me a little sick to my stomach if I don't eat something with it. Otherwise, as long as I really have a sinus infection, it takes care of it."


"I've been on Aubra for 6 months and have finally decided to go off birth control. The only pro on this birth control is not getting pregnant. Cons: no sex drive, horrible acne before my period, depression, weight gain. I was really hoping this birth control to work, because I've had so many problems with other ones. But I can't take the side effects anymore."


"I've been on Celexa for almost 3 years now and I'm very happy with the results in regards to my depression. Most of the sideffects went away after the first year but it has definitely altered my sleep and I have absolutely no sex drive. I would highly recommend it for effectiveness but if you're not okay with living with some side effects it may not be for you."


"I use this for urethral spasms.  It has helped relax my urethral muscles, so that I no longer have to 'push' to pass urine.  But it really stings my bladder (I have IC) so I'm stopping it."


"Did not work only made me very tired"


"I have been taking this drug for years for restless leg syndrome and it is fabulous.  I could not sit through a movie at a theatre without having to get up and stand at the door or at against a wall within the first quarter of the show.  My legs also kept me up at night.  I was taking a full mg at night and one another in the day but the dr cut me down to 1/2 in the day and 1/2 in the evening-not as effective but apparently this can be a very addictive"


"Horrible starting with the very first pill: severe cramping, migraine, lose bowels, tiredness, confusion, nausea. Had to stop after taking only three pills.  Been on the pill off and on since the age of 19.  I'm now 43 and this is the absolute worst experience I've had with a birth control pill."


"Two sleepless nights. I took 10mg the first night and 15mg the second night. Giving them back to the doctor since she gave me samples."


"Really generic ...yes brand works better but have found different in which generic got switched recently and did not work well at all..went back to original generic which now is listed as my preferred manufacturer at my pharmacy at my request and things are back to normal."


"No doubt, this stuff works. I stumbled across these reviews in Dec and asked my doc for it- no problem giving it to me, and he uses it himself for speeches! I suffered from a racing mind to full blown panic attacks.  Tried toastmasters- very helpful, but couldn't get over the panic. Tried this a few times for smaller presentations, and I did notice a difference.  This week I had a larger 50+ person presentation, and nailed it. Still need to figure out dosage - doc said 10 mg, which was effective.  But for this larger presentation, I was feeling very nervous so ended up popping 40 mg total.  Thing is, this won't eliminate the jitters so don't expect that.  But when I started talking, it totally kicked in!  No panic, in full control for an hour!"


"I have been using Ambien for years for sleep maintenance.  I tried Silenor over the last week and it's been fantastic!  I don't have any side effects whatsoever in the morning.  Slept 7 hours straight every time I took it."


"I have been with horrible chest pressure for the last 2 weeks. Impossible to sleep. I have lost around 6lb, today I went to the doctor office and she send me Nexium. She tells me I have esophagitis. With just the first pill, all my pains have disappeared! I hope it continues this way, as I can enjoy life again."


"Took this pill at first just because I had cysts that I had to remove surgically. I'm talkin like 12cm cysts. This pill not only helps with my cysts, but I have no mood swings, my periods are controlled, my skin has never been better, and my sex life is great. No cramping anymore at all! Perfect for me!"


"I was almost too afraid to go through with the insertion process after reading too much information about this method and product. I am so happy that I persevered. The insertionion was a little uncomfortable but it was over in a few seconds. Sex is wonderful and I do not feel it at all. I do not bleed at all and so far, almost one month, no side effects. I would recommend this birth control method to anyone. However, know your body and do what you feel is right for you.
"


"I'm 22 y/o and I just had my first baby and just got the Mirena 4 days ago. My doctor told me  to get the Mirena as a birth control instead of any contraceptive pills because pills will decrease my milk supply. I was having second thought getting this because of other people's review which scares me so much. However, my partner tried to convince me to give mirena a try. My doctor also introduced me to mirena and she ask me some question to determine if it's suitable for me. Although I had second thought about getting it, I still did because I'm not good at keeping track on stuffs if ever I have to take pills. The insertion didn't even take 5mins. I felt a slight discomfort. I just had minor cramps but overall it was a good choice."


"I was on this birth control for 8 months before I realized that it was causing my  panic attacks and paranoia.I lost my appetite, felt nauseous all the time. At first I thought maybe I’m going through postpartum depression. Just had 2nd baby.But overall I was really happy with life and had no complaints. I went to the doctor several times to try to figure out why I was feeling this way.I felt like a zombie.I finally thought to look up side effects of the birth control and to my surprise and relief all the negative reviews said the same thing. I have been off the pill for 5months now and I feel great! It took about 2 weeks before I felt like myself again. I used to take tri cyclen lo before my kids and that worked really well for me."


"Suffered a SAH (sub-arachnid brain hemorrhage 7 years ago and have been taking T-3's regularly in order to deal with post incident headaches, which can be quite sudden onset primarily due to exertion at work (lots of physical work in agriculture sector). Headaches are caused by blood trapped in my cerebral spinal fluid until it can break down small enough to pass back through the membrane - zanthochromas. After taking this dosage of up to 6 tablets a day I was quite concerned about my liver functionality,  however I just was tested pre-op for rotator surgery and was pleased to still have 97% functionality. Ask your dr.for a functionality test in order to make an informed decision before continuing it's use, it may not be adverse for you."


"This cough syrup really works great on quieting my wicked cough (bronchitis).....however, I am one of the few who has a terrible time sleeping when I take it.  It also makes me woozy - the equivalent of drinking two glasses of wine.  That said, I try to take it at least 6-8 hours before bedtime.  The good effects (cough suppressant) is still working, and I get a good night's sleep.  I can not drive while taking it.  Stay safe!"


"I have been on Ortho Tri-cyclen for about 14 years, with no issues, no pregnancies. When I got a prescription for it, the pharmacist suggested Tri- Linyah which is supposed to be the generic version, and because it was free opposed to OTC which would have been 60$. Hesitant, I agreed to try it out, and she stated that if I had any issues I could always switch back.
..... Not even 3 months in, and I'm pregnant."


"I have been taking Pristiq for the treatment of bipolar disorder to treat my depression issues.  As for the depression it has helped a lot (I was locked into a depressive state for months).  I have been on this medication for about 3 weeks and so far have lost about 15lbs (I have been working out as well). Anyone who knows how hard it is to lose weight while on bipolar medicines will know it's heaven sent.  "


"I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome-C and was constipated since August with minimal Evacuation. Fleet Is my godsend."


"I have tried three different types of birth control: the pill, which I never remembered, Nuvaring, I had terrible side effects and ended up in the hospital due to infection, and Ortho evra. I have been on Ortho Evra for two weeks now and so far it has been ok. My main concern is the red squares left on my skin after I take off the patch. Also, the first day of a new patch is pretty intense. I am VERY tired and sleep more than awake, get very dizzy, and just a little nausea. It really isn't that big of a deal, because it passes in less than 24 hours and I feel great after that. Oh, and no baby!!"


"I've been on for one week now, 75mg a day/3months. I have for the most part always had clear skin all of my life w/ an occasional pimple. I'm 27 and just this year I've been breaking out, cystic acne out of no where. I finally went to the derm after everything else failed. Like I said, it's been a week and I can tell you this medicine is tricky. I have some side effects, abnominal pain, severe headaches, couple others, but I see a such a difference! The stuff stuck in my skin is coming out, it's not drying my skin like trentinoin did. I've never been on medicine like this so take it at night before bed to avoid feeling some of the symptoms. Avoid the sun+ any drinking when on this, it will make you vomit!"


"I took this for about two weeks at 4mg and doubled to 8, which I kept for around 2 more months. I was in a coma all the next day if I didn't take before 8 pm. This was bad enough, but I had a nearly fatal dystonic reaction and my pulse was in the 230s when I got to the ER. I nearly died. Like, this is a rare complication, but I wish I was informed that was even possible."


"Be aware.  I was prescribed this med both for recurrent UTI's and prophylactic use.  After using it for years, I suffered full body toxicity and now have been completely disabled by this medicine.  I presented to the ER on several occasions, with burning in my hands and feet, and to my doctor.  Nobody made the connection.  I kept using the medicine.  I am now disabled with severe body wide neuropathy that appears to be permanent.  It is a living hell.  Beware using this drug long term.  It has ruined my life.  I am homebound with severe bodywide neuropathic pain and am in "pain management" with no relief"


"I found Tri-Previfem to be an effective contraceptive for my boyfriend and I; however, I have recently started getting sudden and severe headaches, and in some cases body aches. I can't leave my room or function when these happen so I usually just sleep. It's really hard being a college student who needs to get work done when I get sudden severe headaches.

On the bright side, I've noticed no weight gain and my skin cleared up. My periods also became regular."


"I got this back in June of 2016, so I've had it for about 10 months now, and love it. It's different for everyone, but I've had a great experience. I do have spotting on it, but nothing that the pill doesn't fix. I couldn't just be on the pill (I'm extremely forgetful), so having this as birth control and the pill to control the symptoms works for me. No BC is perfect, so I just chose one that was effective, easy, and that I could control the symptoms for! Also, it was completely covered by my insurance!"


"I've been on Gilenya for quite some time now. At first, I had no side effects at all. Lately, however, I've been getting random symptoms and not sure if they're directly related. My hair has gotten thinner, my eye's sensitivity to light is a bit off, I've gotten gingivitis and been getting mouth ulcers a lot. I'm getting a bit worried, but so far haven't had an attack since I started taking the medicine."
