"I have been on Vicodin for over 2 years. At my worst, I was taking 15-25 a day. I was in a horrible car crash 5 years ago and suffer from chronic pain. This week, I had enough.  I said, no more and I decided to get help. I haven't taken any Vicodin in 2 days now and I was having bad withdrawals. I went to the doctor today and he gave me Suboxone. I am very excited to use this and get my life back. Now the only problem is that I still have the back pain, which I need to finally take care of. Reading all your comments and success stories gives me hope. I thank you all very much.. God bless"


"I have suffered from severe depression for over 20 years. Cymbalta the only one thing that has kept me going and feeling normal. I still have a little depression but by far I am way better less breakdown and crying and sadness. Just make sure you have your doctor check your liver. I have not had any liver issues but some people have reported it. Give it a try it is work for me and I know some people out there saying it's the worst but for me it has been a lifesaver"


"I began taking this medication a week ago. The first and second day were great, no noticeable side effects other than the fact that I was happy and full of energy. The third day I began noticing that my emotions were very easy coming. One sad thing would make me tear up. I also noticed weakness in my left arm. I am only 21 years old and have been on some type of antidepressant since 18 years old. This is the first to make my arm feel this way. Please let me know if anyone else has left arm weakness."


"I have been taking Fioricet as needed for about 15 years. I love it. If Fioricet doesn't help, nothing does. I do not find it to be habit forming at all. I do find that if i take it for too many days in a row it is not as effective and then I suffer from rebound headaches."


"Been on NuvaRing for 6 months and it has been great. Take out during sex and put it back in when finish. Little cramping but overall a great birth control method for me."


"I now have been on this medication for 7 months, I have lost 40 Pounds and no longer have to take cholesterol lowering medicine. I sleep better, have NO hot flashes and feel I have my new lease on life. I'm wearing skinny jeans! The only side effect has been some increased thirst. I drink more water, not a bad thing either. "


"This works great, however the side effects are less appealing. You cannot trust a fart on this!, ever!. I take it first thing in the am on am empty stomach and you better not leave the house within a hour because exactly one hour later, hot lava explodes . Ugh. But, the constipation is gone! Be sure to have a huge supply of fresh underwear when you take this!"


"I am only on day 5 of the medicine. I had a headache on the 2nd and 3rd day, but I think this is because of no sugar. I have cut my carbs down alot and will weigh in on day 7. This pill has really helped me not want my sweets or even bread. I have made very good decisions and even plan what I'm going to eat when out. I can't wait until month 1 to see my progress."


"Been bipolar for seventeen years, Saphris for two months, started out eating right after I took it and I was very sleepy.  The eating eventually subsided but within ten days I started having jaw muscle tension.  At first I had energy and the racing thoughts and paranoia went away.  The sublingual dosing and taste seemed to be minor in the hopes that it would help symptoms.  I would take it at night only, after getting everything done for the evening because it really made me sleep deeply, within fifteen minutes, when I really didn't have a sleeping problem before taking it.  It did make me more alert during the day, which almost led to panic on several occasions.  It was addressing psychosis symptoms but I continued a low level of depression"


"So far  this is absolutely the best aid in losing weight for me.  I had lost 75 lbs in 2011 with Weight Watchers but gained about 38 lbs back between 2012 and 2014.  I went to the doctor and he put me on phentermine & chromium picolinate. I have been on this since 8/23/14. In 6 wks I have lost 25 lbs.  It has significantly decreased my appetite to where I don't even think about eating and have to remind myself to do so.  The only side effects I have had are dry mouth, which causes me to drink water constantly (so not a bad thing), mild insomnia the first 2 wks & constipation, for which I just take a supplement.  BUT you have to eat right.  Reduced carbs for sure.  Weight Watchers taught me healthy eating so you do have to change your food."


"Botox did not work for me. A geneticist confirmed that I have DYTI dystonia, which is one of the hereditary forms. The symptoms I'd experienced were on the left side of my neck. Botox DID reduce those movements. Unfortunately, my head steadily began to pull to the right and my torso twisted as well. I also experienced "floppy-head," which feels like someone is pushing the back of your head so that your chin nearly touches your chest. Not fun. Botox is also a toxic substance and the full effects are not yet known. All of this may be due to the genetic nature of my condition so it may work better for those with the secondary type."


"Flomax works well for me."


"I've been on Loestrin for the last two weeks. I've never had an acne problem in my life. I've always had extremely clear skin. For the last week my face has become covered in acne. I also think I have gained weight."


"i had bowel surgery in 2006 to remove an early tumour . i have had constipation for over 50 years . i walk have a good diet and try to drink the recommended fluids daily but sometimes my work schedule makes this difficult . my bowel motions are usually hard and difficult to pass and i usually go to the toilet once or twice a week . i have tried movicol which is effective but takes too long to work . Dulcolax does for me what it says overnight releif , however i usually need two . there is some cramping but i can cope with that as i know my bowels are working effectively ."


"Tried everything, been on Protonix for 5 years. I can now eat anything as spicy and as hot as I like, and do not have acid reflux."


"I've been taking Adipex for almost 2 weeks now, it is amazing. I feel great and it has suppressed my appetite. It has changed my eating behavior and the most amazing part is I haven't missed it. I'm not one for dieting but I've lost 7lbs and counting. I do experience dry mouth, but it is manageable. Good luck."


"I was going through absolute hell. Dark days was effecting my Family life and work. The Man inside of me said keep going, but I couldn't.

I pulled into the Doctors office contemplating going up stairs to the office (anxiety). I felt weak asking for Male advise from my Male Doc?

I told the Doctor about my previous experiences on SSRI's and how they made my mood worse. He prescribed me 50mg of Zoloft and after 5-6 weeks, I was me again. It doesn't feel drug induced, it just kicks your bad thoughts completely. No ill side effects. But thats my story!"


"Had Kyleena in for 4 months and I am getting it taken out in 2 days. I have constant cramps and my bleeding is random, long, and heavy. I will get sharp pain to the point where I can't move or stand up. I can't have sex because it hurts so bad. My boyfriend says that he can feel the strings. Insertion hurt but that was expected and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The first month and a half was great but now it is just getting worse instead of better. I really wanted this to work because I hate taking the pill and I am sensitive to estrogen but I have to say I like the pill better."


"I started getting panic attacks about 6 years ago for no real reason, causing me to not be able to keep anything down for about 2 months.  Was put on a lot of meds before I tried Buspar.  I believe it with the addition of an SSRI antidepressant saved my life.  Back in August of this year I stopped everything and all my anxiety and panic and depression came back.  I started the Buspar again yesterday after a huge break down, slept better than I have in months, had great dreams, actually WANTED to get out of bed and today I feel better than I have since the summer! It may not work well for EVERYONE, but when it DOES work, it's amazing."


"I was prescribed Aczone & Tazorac to use each once a day aczone in the morning & tazorac every other night. The Aczone made my face break out sooo bad it did more damage than anything!"


"I started this medication a few months ago and mentally, this pill is perfect for me! I’m not moody, no depressive episodes, no anxiety, nothing. Physically, it’s awful for me. I’ve gained 10lbs in a couple of months, I’m insanely bloated, I always have pressure in my lower abdomen and my my hair is thinning out like crazy! My hair comes out with ease in the shower; more than usual."


"I was dx PBC-Stage 2 Feb 08 and started URSO.  I was sent to Baylor a few weeks later and their tests indicated I had a negative AMA!  They asked me to stop taking URSO to see if weight loss alone improves the condition.  I was off URSO for 4 months and lost 25 lbs.  My AMA count is higher now than ever, so I am going back on URSO this morning.  It is very obvious to me that the URSO put my antibodies to sleep while I was on the drug.  That is why my doctor put me back on it today."


"After trying around 8 different drugs for my GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) this one seems to be helping.  I don't want to jump the gun too quick, it's been a month with a 30mg every other day and about 3 weeks at 30mg a day, but I think it's working somewhat, still don't like the idea I have to take it, and always worried about side effects and getting off it, if and when I'm ready.  Have had some bad withdrawal symptoms with some of the others that rivaled getting off pain medicines...no fun!"


"Adderall has totally brought my life into focus. I started taking it about 6 months ago I'm 39 now and really wish I had this medicine as a kid. In addition to ADD I had severe anxiety and depression as a child/teenager. Adderall has given me focus, lifted my general mood, taken my anxiety away and made me a productive human being. I'm actually starting my own business! The only bad thing is that you really have to be careful of how much you take because it can have the opposite effect i.e. severe anxiety and no focus but if you take it the right way it will change your life! One other bad thing is the stigma surrounding the medicine and being treated like an addict by some pharmacists."


"On day 6 now and didn't smoke but was a can a day dipper for over 20 years. Don't worry hat people are t a loving about it falls off, I'm in construction in the heat in Florida all day and it sticks. I know it helps, weird dream thing going on yes, get a taste of nicotine all day, and the initial itch, yep got that too. But what I haven't had is a dip of copenhagen.. thanks nicoderm."


"This is the start of my 3rd day in this medications. I am in 25mg once a day. So far I notice it makes me a little sleepy, dry mouth and gives tingle sensation on my head. Although benefits so far have been that I passed my quiz for college 100% and was able to FINISH multiple tasks yesterday! Only third day so we'll see how it progresses with my body. AGE: 21, 110lbs, F"


"It took approximately 3 months for the Tegretol to have any effect. When it did it was almost overnight. Also found that taking Xanax with it helps tremendously (with Doctor approval of course). I take up to 3 mg Xanax with 3 times daily and 200 mg Tegratol 2 times daily.  It really works.  The burning has almost ceased."


"Great!"


"I take 3 to 5 x 750 during the day(work days) for my back and shoulder pain, due to a car accident. I take 1 before bed time for my shoulder and it works fine. I only take them if I really need them. But they work for me."


"Unfortunetly abilify didn't work for me, and there were no bad side effects from it. I have heard some good things about abilify. It just wasn't for me."


"I had terrible side effects from taking Tamoxifen.  I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, could not sleep due to hot flashes, cried all the time, often just felt like I had the flu.  My oncologist suggested I try citalopram.  My world is wonderful!  I feel better than I ever have.  Not only did it help tremendously with the side effects of Tamoxifen, but it has also taken care of anxiety and depression that I had been living with, but never did anything about it.  I have no side effects from the citalopram, except weight gain.  I am working on that, though. All my family and friends are amazed at the difference in me.  I have been taking 20mg for over a year."


"I have had the Nexplanon implant since Feb 2016, so 10 months.  I cannot wait to get this taken out! An OB/GYN sold me on this birth control during my last annual visit and made it sound like the best thing since sliced bread.  It is effective in that I am not pregnant, however the side effects are ridiculous.  I have never had issues with my skin and I have had non stop chin breakouts since I began this method of birth control.  Perhaps the worst and most inconvenient side effect is the unexpected, sporadic, sometimes month long menses!  I have been bleeding since early November!"


"I have been on Kariva for about 3 years now. I originally went on the pill for my severe cramps and heavy bleeding. After one month, my acne cleared up, my period got much shorter, and my cramps were less intense. However, I have gained 20 pounds and a full cup size since being on the pill. In addition, I have absolutely no sex drive and a lot of dryness. Though I have experienced anxiety before taking the pill, it has gotten much worse since being on it. My PMS is much more severe as well."


"Well we all know accidents happen and one night my boyfriend accidently came inside me.  I freaked out because it was one week after my period ended.. I took the pill the next night less than 24 hours later..  I felt super bloated for 2 weeks straight. Back pain, and nausea it was the longest 2 weeks of my life! I was convinced I was preggo then my period came a day early. I've never been so relieved in my life . I've taken plan b before and never had any side effects but my first with aftera and lots of bad side effects"


"I received the flu mist on a Thursday evening by Friday night I had congestion in my head. Sore throat. And just an all around sick/drained feeling. I get sick easily and had a feeling I would react this way but was assured by healthcare providers it was the better route. After listening to the benefits I decided to give it a try. "


"Lost my first kidney 5 years ago two months ago cancer was found in my remaining kidney. It had metastasized to my brain and lungs. Had gamma knife surgery on brain tumor. Started votrient about 1 month ago. Side effects include fatigue and high blood pressure.So far doing well on 800 milligrams. Have lost about 45 pounds I know now I need to eat regular meals in order to keep up my strength. This also helps with the fatigue. So far lab work looks good looking for the best results with votrient"


"I've been on 6 different meds now for depression. Truthfully, night before last, I almost voluntarily committed myself to psych. I couldn't take it anymore. After talking to my husband and my best friend, I decided not to go to the ER, but instead make an urgent next day appointment.

I am I glad I did!!!

I took dose #1(30 mg) at 3 pm. No zombie feeling. No brain fog. I mean, I could definitely feel I took something, but completely unlike any other med. Side effects, extremely nauseous, a little sweaty, giggly.

Along with my SEVERE depression, I have multiple autoimmune diseases, PTSD, crippling anxiety, and chronic nerve/joint pain. I have not noticed decrease in pain yet, but wasn't expecting to after a single dose."


"I have been on Dexilant for a month now and no relief at all. I have not been given a diagnosis yet as I am still having tests. I have severe chest and throat discomfort and burp constantly . I feel terrible and am worried the acid is damaging my esophagus. ."


"I had the implant put in 2/2015. I will admit I was very nervous about getting it done but I had a normal period as usual the first two months. No weight gain, acne or irregular bleeding. Since then haven't had a period. I highly recommend this implant. Best decision ever to get it."


"I have been taking 120mg of Cymbalta, daily, since it was first introduced & I couldn't be more satisfied with its results. I was diagnosed with severe, clinical, depression, approximately 15 years ago & all antidepressants prescribed to me, prior to Cymbalta, worked for a year, before they completely stopped working for me. I've tried every SSRI available & the same thing would happen, every time, UNTIL Cymbalta became available. I have no negative side effects, never have, & Im so very grateful for them."


"Like many others, I had high hopes.  After year of stool softeners, laxatives, exercise, water, high fiber, etc. with a bowel movement 1 or 2 times/week and rarely feeling like I was 'empty' I got a 30 day RX filled (my ins paid). I didn't experience anything for a couple of days, then a few soft stools. As the days went on, I would have an occasional bowl movement but I started having horrible gas! I tied to stick with it since I figured it would just take time to regulate everything so I refilled RX.  Well, today is MY LAST DAY TAKING LINZESS!!  I have been more bloated today than ever in my life, I have pain from my sternum to my pelvis my abdomen is so distended. Gained 4lbs in 6 days!! MIS.ER.A.BLE!!!!!!"


"Mood swings and depression. Suicidal thoughts... Not good. Does its job with regulating periods, but the side effects are terrible. Have been on it for 2 years and was just off of it for a month. Now I'm back to my normal self. Glad to know Im not going crazy, it's just the pill making me like that. Definitely going to switch."


"Took contrave this morning for the first time.. within the hour I had terrible stomach pain and cramping has this happened to anyone else???"


"I didn't like this birth control at all. I have been on it for 5 months and I cry all the time now. "


"After getting the shot while I was on my period , not a week later I bled like I never have , cramps so bad I can't get out of bed my entire body hurts . I'm not sure about getting the shot again ."


"I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries a couple years ago, having missed a couple periods and showing increased testosterone levels in my bloodwork. My dermatologist was actually the one to prescribe spironolactone - for my acne. While I haven't noticed a huge difference in terms of my skin problems, my periods have finally gotten more regular (31- to 33-day cycle, approximately) when taking 45 mg/day. I've noticed no side effects while taking spironolactone."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for about four weeks to ease my social anxiety issues. I have never taken anti-depressants before so I had no idea what to expect. I'm glad the first week is over because it was very euphoric, which I did not enjoy. I had to take a nap around 4:00 p.m. the first day. The second week was not euphoric at all and I feel back to my old self again. Gratitude all around."


"Started taking amoxycillon, omeprazole, and clarithromycin to treat H. Pylori. Worst side effects I have ever experienced. By day 4, I had severe diarrhea (looked like coffee grounds), nausea, dizziness, couldn't sleep, would have waves of burning through my chest and into my head. I went to the ER because my breathing was labored and I had such severe diarrhea. I also developed something oral thrush so my tongue felt so raw. My doctor finally told me to stop taking it.  The side effects were extremely miserable and torturous."


"I live in the UK so hooray for the NHS. Anyway, I wanted to write this little review just because most of the time you only hear reviews from people that had a horrible experience! I would just like to say that yes the Mirena hurt when it was put in for like a minute, then I felt a bit sick after and then crampy for the rest of the day, gradually getting better (I've not had childbirth!) but I don't regret having it one bit. My periods have stopped altogether and I don't even need to think about it. I used to get really depressed on the pill for no reason but now I just feel normal. It didn't work some amazing magic and make me lose a load of weight for me or anything like that, it just did it's job, which is awesome."


"My six-year-old grand daughter has been on Intuniv for nearly two weeks. She has Asperberger's Syndrome and ADHD. So far I have seen no improvement, but still hold out hope. What I have seen to date is extreme tiredness and irritability. She has always been an excellent sleeper, but now goes to sleep around 9:00pm only to awaken at 4:01am (with only three minutes variance on either side) and unable to return to sleep until around 6:00am. Then awakens at 7:00am irritable and confrontational. She has developed circles under her eyes and is exhausted for the entire day. She is also on Ability --  2.5mg per day (down from the 5mg she was taking prior to beginning the Intuniv."


"I had botox in my bladder because of nerve damage in my back i had to go sometimes every five minutes and could not leave the house.

Its four months after first treatment. I still can not urinate at all unless I self cath. Sometimes five times a day sometimes ten when i take water pill for heart condition. Cant get answers if this is normal"


"Very effective migraine medicine. Take at first sign of migraine and did very well."


"I'm 29 and have 2 kids. It's been 2 months since I had it inserted. Truth is I never read reviews before going for the insertion. Now that I'm reading them, it's funny to me because I didn't feel the slightest pain during and after the insertion.
I came to read the reviews now because I'm currently battling with yeast infection. Have only had yeast infections once in my life and that was just before I got to know I was pregnant with my second child. So the cause of the first incident as I was told was pregnancy. Was getting worried I might be pregnant but reading some of the reviews has made me see that it's one of the side effect. The only effect have noticed is bleeding during ovulation and my periods are heavier and lasts longer than before."


"I have had a fantastic experience with Cryselle.  I take the pill before I go to bed every night, and have never had a side effect.  I have been on Cryselle for 26 months, and have never gotten pregnant.  Prior to taking Cryselle, my cycle was random and rarely hit at the same time each month, but since being on the birth control, my cycle is constant.  I highly recommend this birth control."


"I got Skyla inserted April 10th, just after my period ended. My period before BC lasted around 6-8 days with pretty heavy bleeding and clots. I had pretty bad cramps, bloating and PMS during the first couple days, and then it would taper off and I'd feel 100% normal. Skyla: Insertion sucked. Point blank: it depends on your pain tolerance. I have a moderate-low pain tolerance to internal pain (external pain however, I have a high threshold.) Overall, I don't have bad mood swings, cramps are better, my period now is lighter but longer (11 days on first one, 9 days currently) and I have no spotting between periods even at only 2 months in. It's effective. I really enjoy it! my body adjusted quickly!"


"I took Singulair for a week because I was having trouble with my asthma and allergies. But I also have anxiety and panic attacks often and Singulair made it so much worse!! Every time I took it my heart would race and even the next morning I would still have a racing heart. I ended up having panic attacks every day and going to the ER twice in a week while on this. I will NEVER take this again, it's very bad for people who have anxiety. My asthma is still bad but it wasn't worth trying because of the side effects."


"Okay I have been on celexa for about a week now. I'm currently working 6 days a week 9-10 hour shifts so I'm exhausted as it is. And I feel like I can't sleep and for the past two days I haven't been wanting to eat  at all. Is this normal for this medicine. I'm on 20mg once a day?"

"IV Zometa yesterday woke up this morning body aches headache fever slept all day. "


"80 mg valsartan is the 1st BP med I have ever taken.  After taking my second pill I developed an extremely severe headache in the front of my face.  It subsided the next day but did not go away completely.  After the 5th pill I experienced pain in my hips, knees, and fingers that woke me up constantly during the night.  I took another pill the next morning.  That evening I developed a severe rash on my face right across the areas where I had my headache.  Did not take another pill after that, but still have a headache after not being on it for a week.  My BP was 148/83 and never really saw much of a difference being on the pill for such a short period of time.  Valsartan made me feel very unwell!"


"I just started using Alprazolam a day ago. Slept like a baby!"


"I took this pill for 2.5 years and it was pretty good. When I first started the only negative side effect I had was nausea 24/7 for about 6 months but it eventually went away. I had to switch to a higher dosage because my PMS symptoms like hormonal breakouts before periods came back after about two years on the pill. However, I have regular sex and I never got pregnant! So it does its job"


"I was placed on Bystolic and Flecainade to control atrial flutter. It took three weeks for this combination to work but it did and my heart rhythms became stable and stayed that way. I later had an ablation, which cured my Atrial flutter and Atrial fibrillation. I experienced several of the common side effects: low libido, near impotence, and chronic diarrhea, which has resisted all efforts to correct.

Recently I decided to discontinue it and did so. Pulse went from 70 to mid-80's and blood pressure crept up so did a taper per the literature. After being off it for a week, pulse rates as high as low 90s, blood pressure going up daily to 140's. Have started taking it again.

This medicine is quite difficult to get off. Keep this in mind when considering whether to take it."


"Been on Enbrel for 4 years. Was totally clear for 2 years when I got a kidney infection. Went off Enbrel for 8 weeks and had a couple of spots reappear on my calf. Back on 1 shot a week and it just will not clear up the calf again. Still worth it, but I thank the man upstairs for my insurance coverage."


"Been taking Brintellix for 2 weeks and so far feeling pretty good. I'm a little worried about the weight gain and the price. I finally find something that works for me and it causes these side affects and ridiculous how pricey it is to feel normal! Sad to know that if I can't afford it or it puts weight on me that I'm going to have to stop taking a drug that actually helps! I work out 4 days a week and had lost 22 lbs but I've gained 4 in 2 weeks.Not acceptable! I will continue taking for another 2 weeks and see what happens!"


"I often get sinus infections and they clear up fast with amoxicillin."


"Been on 20mg for only 2 weeks now and have noticed a good improvement in my mood. My dose has now been upped to 40 mg once a day. This drug so far has worked better than any antidepressant I have taken (Wellbutrin, Prozac, Effexor XR, Mirtazapine) and better than any antipsychotic I have taken (Zyprexa, Risperidone, Thorazine, Seroquel)

All antipsychotics I have taken so far have caused weight gain EXCEPT THIS ONE. Since taking it for 2 weeks I have LOST 3lbs without any major exercise BUT I have dropped calorie intake to around 1000-1200 a day). The only negative side effect I have had is staying asleep for longer than 5-6 hrs . I also have social anxiety but this medication hasn't helped with that (so far if possible) Highly recommend."

"I was put on 3 other medications before my insurance would approve Dexilant, which was the only medication to work for me. I have terrible sour pain in my stomach no matter what I eat. Heartburn so bad I can't sleep and I am terrified to eat anything because of the pain.

Dexilant cured me, I loved it. I could eat anything I wanted and I had no noticeable side effects. I took it for about 3 or 4 months, and then, about a week ago, it stopped working. I have no idea why, and all my pains are back. I don't know what to do, I've tried many other medicines for my pain and this was the only one to work, but now it's as if I haven't taken anything."


"It has been 15 years since my last colonoscopy, which was at 50 years of age.

 Prepping for a colonoscopy is never a pleasant experience! However, this was pretty straightforward and not difficult to follow . Yes, the medication is mildly Unpleasant to the palate , but it did the job with very little side effect and in a relatively short period of time. For me results began to take place after approximately 30 minutes of finishing my first dose, and the cleanse was complete in about 5 hours.

 I do have a somewhat unusual advantage/ disadvantage. I am dealing with a temporary colostomy and that made the wear and tear on my rectum nonexistent.

 I hope your experience is as good as it can be …"


"Had the beginning of migraine on a night shift. Took 1 tablet and within 15 minutes I could function again, with none of the stated side effects"


"Causes abdominal pain and un-coordination. I usually tolerate medicines well, but not Avelox. I'm on 4th day of usage and can't wait till the last dose. Good luck and get well everyone."


"This stopped my depression the second day!  It felt like a hole in my heart mended! Literally! I seem to be able to skip days here and there in the spring and summertime with no effects, but never have plans to wean off.  It has been too great a miracle prescription for me!  Seven years!"


"Unprotected intercourse April 29th, took the pill 4 hours later. Now it's more than a week past.  Definitely feeling preggo and like someone else. I know it was a huge dose of hormones and supposedly stops ovulation, but I ovulated then...I'm testing this Saturday or Sunday (Mother's day..yikes) if my period doesn't come. Cramps and no discharge or anything.  I had dizziness start within hours of taking it. I haven't been depressed in a while--crying at the drop of a hat, my belly and chest feels a little more swollen/tender each day. Having trouble sleeping at night--hot flashes nightly, strange dreams the first two nights.The desire to eat much then nothing comes and goes. I'm nauseated. Watch out!"


"I was put on Doxepin 10mg, for wake up middle of night insomnia. Every time I've taken it( about 5), I'm knocked out and sleep heavy for about 9 hrs. Then I'm very groggy the next day and sleep off and on. The feeling rested and like I actually slept is great. But, it's almost too good. I'm going to ask my dr. To reduce to like 3mg."


"Robaxin has worked very well for my back muscle spasms. Also for tension headache due to muscle tension in my neck and head. My only side effects were initially a feeling of constantly needing to urinate even when there was no need. But that went away after a few weeks. Now though I have been experiencing bad dreams and broken sleep, problem is I don't know if these negative effects are from the Robaxin or something else I am taking. I do take several other medications in addition to the Robaxin."


"I started taking buspar about 2 months ago. I started having "brain zaps" and I thought it was temporary. It was not. I started getting water retention and I wanted to eat more than usual. I also was extremely irritable constantly.

I was told to take 5mg twice daily. I started with half a pill then after a week the whole pill 2x daily.

I since then I decreased my dose to half. Now I'm off completely.  All of the side effects have stopped almost immediately.  No brain zaps, irritability decreased slowly, and water retention stopped.

This pill didn't do anything except all of the bad. On the positive side - getting off of it does not give you severe withdrawal."


"I was diagnosed in 2013 with schizophrenia and depressive behavior. Prior to my last hospitalization none of the meds were working on me. My family changed my physician and she firmly believed Invega combined with Sertraline would do the trick. I am most grateful to her and my family for their desire to help me. I no longer hear the voices, I can go out in the public, watch TV, listen to the radio and enjoy it like I used to. I feel safe again, the paranoia of thinking people were after me is gone, I don't have suicidal thoughts anymore and I'm starting to build a social life again. I am 24 years old and I'm grateful for the unconditional support my family and new doctor have giving me, My life back."


"Wow, finally a treatment that actually works in clearing dark spots! I was a skeptic, but within a week of using Tri-Luma Cream my dark spots were clear! I got a great price on Tri-Luma which was sold at my Dermatologist's office."


"Just got mine out a month ago, I kept it it the FULL TIME which I find is hard for people to do. I would say it is great as far as preventing pregnancy (we never pulled out while I was on it). Low sex drive and fatigued that's all. Well aside from bleeding for a month straight every so often on it."


"I was diagnosed with Stage IV renal cel carcinoma in January 2012.  After two unsuccessful IL-2 treatments, I started taking Votrient in June 2012.  At first I had all of the written side-effects but after completely changing my diet, they diminish significantly.  Fatigue and whitening of my skin being my only problems.  My last CT's continue to show a all of my known tumors as principally stable.  The drug works for me! 5 years and counting!"


"I have had grand-mal seizures since age 7 due to an AVM in my brain. Previously during childhood, I was on Dilantin (major rage problems) and Tegretol (caused liver damage). When the Tegretol caused liver disease and brain surgery was complete, I was switched to Keppra XR (2 pills 2x a day) and seizures have been under control for the most part."


"The product works great,  however the new packaging is not user friendly. Please bring back the old bottle design and remove that plastic insert in the bottle opening that suposedly helps to pour the product,indeed it does not, its makes a huge mess while pouring. New does not always mean better"


"I'm on 150 mg Wellbutrin XL's, and since I've started taking them, I've noticed my dreams are extremely vivid and disturbing, I'm getting confused easily, major insomnia, which isn't normal for me by any means. Was on Prozac, then Lexapro, switched to celexa after 3 doses, and now I'm stuck with Wellbutrin. I was told to push through and keep taking it, but all of my experiences with stimulants with an amphetemine base have been unpleasant. Im probably going to discontinue it, I'd rather be unmedicated than lose days of sleep and have horrible dreams whenever I can sleep. Not a great experience imo"


"This stuff works for GW. I was diagnosed about three months ago and I tried acid 3x before to burn them off. It seem like it irritated them and more would pop up. Started using this cream 3 weeks ago on MWF nights and all my GW are gone!!!  Other things I think helped was taking an immune system booster supplement, drinking water an rubbing coconut oil for the in between days (Tues.Thur.) for the itching and the dryness that the cream causes... All together I'm pleased with the results and the side effects weren't any worst than the regular itch that you get from General warts.. Sticking with this routine really helped me and I hope this is helpful to someone else. GW are not forever!!!"


"I just had a bilateral mastectomy due to breast cancer a month ago, and will never forget the huge injection of Phenergan the nurse plunged into my I.V. when I came out of the anesthesia and said, "I'm going to throw up!" It halted my nausea IMMEDIATELY - wish I'd known about this stuff years ago! It would have saved me after a few of my surgeries. Now, they've put me on Tamoxifen, which is making me incredibly nauseated. When my Doctor's office called me the other day to let me know they had called in an anti-nausea medicine for me at the pharmacy. I was overjoyed to find out it was Phenergan. Sure enough -- it's working great. Last night I had my first enjoyable evening without nausea since starting the Tamoxifen."


"In 2011 I began having panic attacks in crowded places. Just going to the mall was hell. The physical sensations were unbearable. After a while the only safe place was home. It got to the point where I was a social hermit. I read reviews about Lorazepam supossedly helping people with anxiety and I thought it was the worth the shot because life at that point was totally unbearable. It absolutely helped with the panic attacks and the physical symptoms, sweating, racing heart etc. I still feel anxiety but it's nowhere comparable to what it once was. I also used the Linden Method. I would guess that both the Linden Method and Lorazepam cut down my symptoms by about 95%."


"I am 22 years old and I got the skyla 2 months after I had my baby 1/28/2016. It is now 7/17/2016 and I'm starting finger dissatisfied. So for the first 4 months I was literally bleeding everyday. And it wasnt just light bleeding it was excessive bleeding. I had to wear 2 big overnight pads and a ultra tampon. And I was changing it alost every 2-3 hours. I never knew when my period was in because I was bleeding everyday. So the beginning of June I stopped bleeding for 2 weeks but I started back 6/18/2016 and I've been bleeding since then. I often get the big clots of blood. I brought it to my doctors attention and she said because of so much blood loss my iron is low. I now have to take iron pills. I will be getting it removed."


"I been constipated all my life and this last week did a number on me. I had my husband go get me the Dulcolax and I took 2 pills and within 3 hours I was on the pot going! Only complaint I have is cramps since I took the pills and I took 2 pills at 10:30 am and now it's 9:30 pm and I still feel cramps. Next time I will only take 1 pill! I can't deal with the cramps."


"It gave me 3 pulmonary embolisms. It almost killed me and I would never recommend the NuvaRing to anyone. I steer family and friends away from it if the topic is brought up."


"I have been using Benicar for 1 week. So far the only side effect I have had with Benicar is excessive thirst. My blood pressure is now 113/75."


"Started three weeks ago and great results pre blood levels 24 up to 29mmol now after only three weeks range from 7 to 15. Only side effect is slight naeusea 12 hours after injecting but nothing you can not put up with."


"Got liletta on 10/13/16 and so far so good. Before it I couldn't have sex without pain and now my sex life has never been better. I had cramping the day I got it but it was gone the next morning. I did also have spotting the day of and that has gone as well. I will update in a couple of weeks but so far so good."


"I started taking Cymbalta earlier this year for my anxiety. I found it really helped, but I didn't want to stay on it for long. I had a few side effects while being on Cymbalta such as night sweats, trouble sleeping and electric pulses through my body. Whilst gradually lowering my doses of Cymbalta these side effects did get a little worse, however they have completely gone now. I started lowering my doses in June, and now by the end of August the night sweats have completely stopped, my sleeping is back to normal, and the electric pulses are very rare. When I think about getting worried or anxious now, I just remember that its not a big deal and that if I was on Cymbalta I wouldn't have even thought about it."


"I have taken Humira for the past 3 years for Rheumatoid Arthritis and recently we discovered it is also useful for Crohn's disease (which I also have). It does work, but unfortunately I get recurrent sinus infections and have to stop taking the drug while on antibiotics. I have also had an accident at work and have had some surgeries. I've had to interrupt taking the drug due to the surgeries as well (bone fusions). It takes a couple of months to get in your system, but as soon as it does (if you can stay healthy and infection free) it is wonderful. My only concern is the cost and the long term side effects. "


"So far Butrans has been a lifesaver.  I've been on every nerve medication and pain killer for the past 6 years.  I was taking 10  Oxycodone every day just to stay functional.  1st day on the patch I didn't think it was going to work.  The next day I woke up almost pain free for the first time in years. It made me realize how bad my pain had actually been.  Butrans has been nothing short of a miracle for me.  No more pills (except Mobic).  No more roller coaster of highs and lows of pain medicines.  Just relief.  It's only week 2 but the difference is amazing.  Some minor side effects, little sleepy, subtle headache, but that's about it.  I feel almost 100% normal again.  I honestly had almost forgotten what normal felt like.  Thanks Butrans!"


"I had Liletta inserted two and a half weeks ago. The insertion process definitely hurt, but I was able to breathe through it and then go back to work afterwards. I didn't bleed the first few days after insertion but have bled continuously since. It's been about like always being on the first day of my period. The biggest thing I've noticed so far are some pretty intense emotional swings. I'm hoping they'll level out, but I've cried four times in the last two days for pretty minor reasons. I'll update later. Overall though it hasn't been a bad process considering that I no longer have to take a pill everyday."


"I was taking this for a tonsil infection that neither amoxicillin or erythromycin could take care of. It worked like a charm, and is the first antibiotic I have taken that didn't have any side effects at all.
My vision also became better, so now I don't have to use glasses anymore.

Penicillin make me tired. Erythromycin wrecked med totally in ways I couldn't imagine, it even made my asthma I didn't knew I had, a 100 times worse, permanently!
Azithromycin (the 2 chlamydia/gonnorhea pills) made me tired and gave me a day of extreme diarrhea.

Clindamycin (Called "Dalacin") Is the first one that just works without ANY side-effects at all. And it also it made my vision go from poor to HD, so I haven't used glasses ever since."


"This birth control is an amateur one for sure. I have been on it for almost 3 months now. I have mood swings, weight gain in hips and thighs ( I'm a professional athlete and have never had weight there), increased appetite, and occasional bleeding. I have had some minor break outs too. I am definitely switching over to a different brand."


"I recieved my Skyla a month ago. I am 27 years old, single, and do not want children. My doctor was enthusiastic about my decision, she answered all my questions and reassured me it was safe and effective. My experience wasn't awful, but it also wasn't fun. She had a hard time opening my cervix (I am petite at 4'11" 120 lbs), so the process took a bit longer. The moment it opened, I yelped and felt the worst cramp of my life. She counted down from 10 and she was done. I was lightheaded and shaky after insertion. The rest of the day my cramping peaked at a 6 on the pain scale and subsided each day after. No spotting, period was on time with minimal cramping. So far no hormonal side effects or pain. I'm VERY happy with my Skyla!"


"I first started on Vicodin 9 years ago. Well, I eventually became a full blown addict on other things. Started Suboxone 5 days ago and finally feel life coming back in to this empty shell I called my body. Fell into withdrawal the first dose because I took it too soon but 5 days later and I'm feeling great. Sleeping has been a little difficult as well. It felt great to come home from work today and know that the money I made will be going to something that was slowly killing me.  Thank you Suboxone."


"Wonder drug.  I tried many others. Maxalt MLT works so quick and free of all the usual side effects.  I can use Maxalt MLT and within 30-60 minutes return to normal activities free of the normal after migraine haziness.  It has given me my life back.  Many thanks to Dr. Z. for prescribing this."


"The best by far of pain medication I have taken.  I like that it lasts all day.  I take the 30mg for osteoarthritis pain and neck degenerative disk pain. It makes me able to live my life. The BEST!"


"This is a great medicine.  Many people don't know about using it as an alternative to SSRIs for mood stabilization, depression and bipolar disorder. I've been on it for 1 year. The biggest benefits of this medicine is that it stabilizes my mood without feeling weird (fake, plastic, hyper) with very few side effects.  The sexual side effects and weight gain I experienced on Prozac, and the restlessness and irritability of Celexa and Welbutrin, just don't occur for me on this medicine.
The drawback for me has been a narrowing of my emotional bandwidth.  I rarely feel spontaneous excitement or joy.  This may be partly because of life circumstances, but I'm certain that this medicine is also playing a role here. High anxiety, may not be related to this medicine."


"Working much better than Lithium, for Bipolar Disorder. Lithium caused slurred speech and made me feel sluggish and foggy. Doing much better except for anxiety which is still the same."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The suggestion to chill the Suprep in fridge, chill your water, soda and or gatorade is great advice.  Yes use a straw.

I put a Lifesavor Peppermint in my mouth to prepare for the Suprep's nasty taste, then I added cold water and ginger ale to the fill line in the cup provided.

Using a straw, holding my nose, I quickly drank the Supra with the peppermint Lifesaver between my gums and cheek so in between each sip I was able to get the nasty taste out of my mouth with the mint.

Having a lifesaver peppermint REALLY helps with the aftertaste!

It's my 3rd colonoscopy and this time I was actually able to get through it without gagging on the stuff.

Yes it is like metallic grape drink!"


"I can sleep finally. Great drug! I take 100 mg and Ill not go up to 150 like my dr said because Im sleeping good enough now. I take Zoloft in the morning and after almost 7 weeks I feel better and less anxious. I give it an 8 because I had low blood pressure the first few days and still have a bit hang over in the morning."


"Injured at work as an RN and had a spinal fusion with scar tissue issues. Butrans is awesome. Change the patch once a week-- no need for constant pill popping. Butrans makes the pain tolerable and I can forget about when I took the last pill and if I have taken too many. Pain is well controlled. Have decreased the patch from 10 to 7.5 and doing well."


"I've been taking Paxil for about 4 weeks now and I'm finally starting to feel like my old self . The first couple of weeks I felt horrible and thought about stopping the medicine but my doctor assured me that it would get worst before it got better."


"I received my first shot in March 2016 after being on the pill for 5 years. At first I loved the shot. I didn't have to worry about taking it at a set time every day (which I was terrible at) and my period has completely gone away. About a week before I was due for the second shot, I noticed an increase in my acne on my face, chest, and back as well as some spotting. That was the first week of June 2016 and I haven't stopped spotting since. My acne has also gotten significantly worse and I have never struggled with acne like this before in my life - even as a teenager. My stress level has increased significantly and I've gained over 20 pounds since June 2016. I will NOT be going back in November to get my 4th shot."


"I used to take 75mg 2x a day and quit. I felt like it was not working and had terrible side effects.
After 6 months of not taking medications, and situations got hard to cope, I asked to be put back on.
The second time around, the 75mg had me very nervous, anxious, dizzy and "dopey". The doctors said that the immediate release is harsh on your system and switched me to 150 mg XL. And just 3 days in to the new dose, I do not have such harsh side effects. The only side effects I have is no appetite, dry mouth and vivid dreams.
Overall, I am no longer having obsessive negative thoughts (which triggered my anxiety), so I'm overall not as anxious or having panic attacks. I feel more motivated and energetic, but its only 3 days in on this dose."


"It got rid of the night sweats but caused significant weight gain."


"August 1 - January 10 lost  85 lbs. Walking or running 5x per week for one hour. Snacks=almonds. No sugar only fruit. Lots of salads and vegetables plus lean meat. Olive oil and vinegar for dressing.10 more lbs to go!"


"Brand name Wellbutrin XL 450, severe Gain weight, severe anger, severe stomach pain, severe constipation, severe vivid nightmares,

Made me from social normal person, to an unreal horror human, scare to the world .... More than 90 days I can't even get out of my room....severe Panic attacks!!!"


"I don't know exactly when I started using Tricor 145 mg tablets, but I suspect it was approximately in 2004.  I have obtained this drug monthly from RiteAid drugstore, and the medications is made by Abbott Labs.  Anyways, in November 2007 I suffered my first occurence of acute pancreatitis.  I undertook many hospital tests, CT Scans, MRI's, X-Rays, Ultrasounds, of my pancreas, but none of those test revealed a cause of the acute pancreatitis.  Since that first occurrence of acute pancreatitis, I suffered 2 other cases of pancreatitis, which put me into the hospital again, and 1 other case where I toughed it out a home.  Reading the Tricor warnings, it states that in rare cases, it may cause pancreatitis.  I stopped Tricor, problem solved."


"I work in an elementary school.  I thought I had something like poison ivy at first but gradualy it turned into a full ring.  I have never had ringworm before but had a pretty good idea that's what I was dealing with. I got the Econazole Nitrate Cream and it was gone in less than two weeks.  Effortless and painless.  Excellent cure!"


"After getting my 2nd Prolia injection, I've had the worst 4 months of my life!!  Within a couple weeks, I went from a very young 70 yr old to a 90 year old woman.  My back and hips have been so painful, that I have to wear a stiff back support to be able to move.  Even with this, I can't stand up straight. I am awakened at night because of the pain and I can't turn over in bed.  I am constantly achey and tired.  Before Prolia, I was extremely active.  I worked with a personal trainer twice a week for six months, before the 2nd injection, but now, I have probably lost all the muscle, strength and flexibility I gained.  I put my gym membership on hold, until I can move, again, without pain. Prolia is the worst!!!!!"


"I have extreme manic bipolar disorder. I cannot stress enough. Lithium has helped me have less mood swings and much more manageable ones when I do. I am now leading a fairly normal life."


"I am currently in week 2 (about 1/2 way through) and have lost 6.6 pounds already. I am quite pleased with that. This has helped greatly to curb my cravings completely and decrease my appetite overall.  I haven't had any negative side effects, no nausea, etc."


"I have a large swollen infection believed to be staph infection. This medicine is working well but day 2 I am so nauseous even after taking Zofran 8mg I can not bare the thought of swallowing it or anything else. I've taken this before and did not get this effect. I have many other health issues at the time but I was shocked I reacted this way."


"This was my first birth control but I've got to say that it is probably the best birth control you can get since it has the lowest dosage of estrogen which means you have the least side effects. SINCE it has such a low dosage, it's pretty dang pricey.The first month on this birth control is rough and your first period will be a VERY bad period if you react to it like I did. I was bedridden from cramps and I bled a lot but honestly I was used to it since the reason I'm taking it is because of nasty periods. After the first period, it was AMAZING. My periods lasted 3-4 days, barely any bleeding, zero cramps, and I had no side effects! No weight gain, no acne, no mood swings or nausea. It's wonderful. I highly recommend this birth control."


"I took Accutane twice to have little to no improvement for my moderate acne. It made my hands and feet completely dry, even years later, however, my acne is no better and my face and scalp are still completely oily."


"The side effects were intolerable and it was not effective in minimizing bladder spasms with resulting leakage/incontinence."


"Have been on brintellix a little over 5 weeks and have lose of appetite. I have lost about 9 pounds could stand to lose a few, but feeling a little foggy most days unsteady on my feet, some what out of it I'll give it another week or so. Anyone experience this."


"Love this stuff. Can get a full at least 8 hrs sleep & feel refreshed & rested in the morning. Not walk the floor & eat everything in the house like with Ambien. That stuff scared me. Thanks Doc."


"I've had this implant since July 2015... I haven't had a period since .. I was on depo for 7 years on and off when I wanted to conceive my 2 year old... I don't like periods anyways... It may have helped clear acne... I may have mood swings but I definitely give this substance a 10"


"This medicine worked really well for me for about 6 weeks then gradually stopped working."


"Not working right"


"I've had the implant for a little over 6 months now and I've had maybe 2 periods. Both extremely light which was nice. I've noticed after getting the implant I've felt more depressed, anxious, nauseous, and have been having huge headaches that don't seem to go away for days at a time. Getting the implant wasn't difficult at all. It's inserted with a needle and it was so fast I barely felt anything. My arm was sore for a little bit and some bruising but other than I felt little to no pain. A week or so after I started feeling less motivated to get anything done. Leaving the house would just give me anxiety. Also being a new mom it made it harder to keep up with my baby."


"I just started taking Suboxone 3 days ago at a doctors office to help me get off a 5 yr methadone habit let me tell you to wait the full 3 days before starting this stuff. I in no way weaned myself down from my 150mg a day. I had the worst withdrawals in my life. They had to put me out to get through it. But finally I'm coming out of it. So the outlook is bright so everyone wait the three days I wouldn't wish this on anyone."


"I have been taking Spiro for about a month now and so far so good. I am noticing a bit of a break out right now but nothing crazy like my normal acne. The only side affects I am noticing is the muscle weakness and light headedness... I dropped a cookie sheet of calzones, using both hands. I literally couldn't pick it up. The muscle weakness comes and goes though so I can deal! Same with the lightheadedness. :) I am so happy! I have gone from having really bad cystic acne, to little tiny red bumps. I can deal with this, I am starting to feel beautiful again! I am only on 50mg at the moment, so we'll see how the next few months go."


"I found this little gem a few years ago. Whilst in my late forties I had a blocked nose I spent a fortune on remedies and although this sounds insignificant it became a constant annoyance as symptoms were so awful it caused nose bleeds, cold sores in my nose, sleepless nights etc. Eventually I went to the doctor who informed me it was a allergy. Beconase nasal spray and a antihistamine tablet. This I used daily as my allergy didn't subside with the changing seasons, it held it back on a good month although I never had a restful sleep. Then I found Phenergen and since I started taking it just before bedtime all of my symptoms have gone! The down side is I find it challenging  to buy!"


"It's official! My levels are normal and my hair is no longer falling out. Joint pain is also gone."


"My doctor prescribed this medication for me 2 weeks ago for escalating and uncontrollable anxiety.  I held out little hope it would help, as many other medications for anxiety had failed in the past.  Within one hour of beginning this medication, my anxiety had completely ceased.  I was amazed.  I was expecting this medication to take weeks to work, or fail completely.  I do feel a dizziness sometimes, but cannot even consider this a drawback in light of the relief it has given me.  My family and friends have noticed the change in me.  Give this medicine a chance."


"Totally killed our sex life"


"I started taking Lutera in August of 2016. I am 19 years old. My periods have become so much less of a hassle! My previously debilitating back and stomach cramps have become significantly less painful. My flow is also much lighter and tapers off much quicker. My cycle is very regular now. As far as sex drive goes, I'm not sure what everyone is saying about loss, because if anything I've gained. I can't help myself (which obviously my boyfriend is totally okay with). I'm also not experiencing any problems with lack of natural lubrication. Though, both my sex drive and lubrication situation could be due to my age compared to other ladies on this page! I've also gained 0 lbs. while on Lutera!!"


"After 3 months of 2mg four times a day, with no change in glucose levels my doctor and I sat down for a talk.  When asked if there was a ceiling for the dosages he said we have plenty of room to adjust (there actually is no recorded max dose I could find in the literature).  The typical patient uses about 4 mg four times a day. I have found that I have had to increase as much as 16mg four times a day to see adequate glucose changes.  It's ease of use and small size makes it easier to take than some, but I have yet to find it's stable dosage for ME."


"My 6 yr old son has been on 20mg of Vyvanse for the past month and a half. I was so reluctant to start him on any type of medicine, but his inability to focus, keep his hands to himself, stay in his seat at school, etc., was affecting the learning of his classmates and causing him to have a hard time making friends. I saw a difference in him (and his teacher did, too), immediately after the 1st dose, he was able to focus, was making friends, etc. I have decided to try him on something different because he's losing weight and he's not the happy, sweet boy that I know he is. He's moody, he gets upset extremely easily, he's grumpy, and is SUPER serious about everything, he finds nothing funny. Its definitely altered his personality, even off the meds."


"I have been on Seasonique for almost 3 months, I haven't had any spotting however really bad acne on my T-zone. In the past I have had maybe 2-3 spots at a time but now 3 months In I have multiple spots triple or more than usual. I am totally attracted to 3-4 menstrual cycles a year, not to the idea of the acne however."


"My 8 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD at age 4. We did not start medication until 1st grade, but are glad we finally did. He is currently taking Vyvanse. I read some materials on Fish Oil and brain functioning and specifically ADHD. When my son comes home from school the medication effects are diminishing and he tends to get emotional and irritable. When that happens, we give him 2 fish oil capsules and within about 1/2 hour he usually calms down and returns to focus better. We use Nordic Naturals Omega 3-6-9 Junior with 135 mg EPA and 90 mg DHA. The capsules are lemon flavored, small and easy for a child to swallow."


"I have chronic back pain that started from a skydiving accident, and have been in pain ever since. I tried so many medications and nothing worked. When I got Oxycodone long acting and breakthrough   Flexeril my pain was reduced to 5/10. Come the evening, the pain got so bad that I needed to take more oxy.

I just got this patch on Monday (March 4/2013), on the 5 dose. It took about 3 days to become effective. I woke up on Wednesday, and had no pain. I thought it was just a coincidence. Thursday comes, Friday, and still pain free. I actually stopped taking my long acting Oxycodone today. So I will see how the next few days will  be once the medicine is out of my system. But I'm sure everything will still be pain free. I love this PATCH!!"


"It's awesome."


"I took the first dose of Actemra and felt a little dizzy but that did not last long.  My stiffness was reduced and for the first time in two years felt like myself again. The only problem is that my lip was slightly swollen but went away in about two days. The medicine last for about 4-5 days then I started having severe pain in my joints especially my elbows and shoulders. I had to take pain medication which did not help much.  Overall I love this medication and I can't wait for my weekly injection."


"The side effects were too hard to tolerate, for me to continue to take it for more than a couple of months.   Nausea, dizziness, headache, upset stomach, and a terrible skin reaction that left many scars on my entire body are in addition to the mental slowness, confusion and increased depression suffered while taking Lyrica.  "


"This medicine does it's job, my symptoms from the infection cleared within the first 3 days out of 7, taking 2 pills a day. It worked and cleared the infection so I'll give it 10 stars, but the side effects are for sure mentionable. I felt fine other than a metallic taste in my mouth for the first 2 days, then the extreme nausea rolled in. Imagine the feeling you have seconds before you puke, 24/7 for days on end. I also had headaches and slight stomach pain. I took probiotics while on the medication and they didn't do anything. I still recommend this antibiotic because it does its job, just be prepared for the side effects."


"I have just started this medicine and the cough is driving me crazy. I go through these spells, at work and night. Everyone probably thinks I have a cold. Might need to switch to something else."


"I first started with Reclipsen a year ago for 2-3 months and experienced extreme mood swings. Very emotional and sensitive to everything/anything. I'm not an emotional person. I also did get frequent headaches. I decided to switch to a generic (similar to Reclipsen) which alleviated all side effects. I started taking Reclipsen again this month after my annual check up (my doctor refilled for name brand) I'm on week 2 and I'm having the same side effects. I had a major melt down which made me question what is really going on? I realized it must be the birth control. I'm going back to generic asap. I had no weight gain, cramping nor acne issues while taking Reclipsen only mood swings and headaches."


"I have no problems with this medicine not working, unless I forget to take my medicine! I am not sure if it causes you to have seizures - that you normally wouldn't have had, (if you hadn't forgotten your dose), or not? I think for me, yes it does. So, for myself, if I miss a few doses- a seizure is bound to happen!"


"I had moderate depression, crushing anxiety, and probably fibromyalgia. (I've never pursed fibro testing due to no health insurance.) One week ago I just could not go on. Depression, anxiety, and all-over aches and stiffness stopped me in my tracks. One day on 30 mg Cymbalta and it all cleared up. I could not believe it. It is a miracle for me. I've been on it one full week and am now over the slight nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth. YaY! :-)"


"I had an allergic reaction to this medicine. This drug could be a good drug for others but it wasn't a good one for me. "


"I'm a young single mom in my experience Invega gives me a fuller lifestyle my condition is stable and controlled with  Invega so I can live with a balanced happier mind. The only downside is the weight gain and some minor side effects like milk production in my breasts. However the benefit to my mind are greater than some minor and trivial side effects."


"I have been taking Zoloft for about 2 weeks and notice a little difference. I'm much happier, not so tired as usual. One day I had this urge just to go out and I get my hair cut, nails done and my tongue pierced. I have no idea where that came from. I felt very social and wanting to talk to people. Before I liked to stay in my room with the dark curtains and hope it will rain soon because I couldn't stand the sun. I also didn't want any company..just wanted to be left alone. It still comes and goes. I'm pregnant so I'm only on 25 mg but I know if I was taking a higher mg I would feel better."


"I have been taking this for over a year, with that being said I have had no period the entire time I've been on it which is great! The only biggest downside is my sex drive is completely gone, sex is often very painful and without my natural lubrication it is hard for me to have sex for the few days after I have it! This has been enough for me to want to switch, my doctor told me is it common to become dry while taking low estrogen pills. Im going to switch to a slightly higher pill in hopes of a higher sex drive!"


"Hi, I need some advice. I'm 20 years old and I've never been pregnant, I had the mirena coil fitted about 3 weeks ago, the procedure didn't go so well and the doctor had to dilate my cervix as she wasn't able to place the coil. It's been 3 weeks now and me and my partner are starting to have sex again but I'm feeling slight discomfort and a little pain, has anyone else felt this and if so is it normal?"


"I'm very confused about my experience on Yaz.  Had no initial breakout and my skin was improving up until about a month and half ago. There were minor breakouts every now and then though. Yet lately (after 7 and half months) my skin has been breaking out constantly. Big pimples mostly along my chin and jawline but few on my lip and cheeks too. I'm going to see my GP as soon as possible to see whether this is just a random flare up or whether Yaz is just not for me. I suppose it works differently for everyone."


"A lot of negative reviews here.  I find Delsym to be very effective treating my cough.  No symptoms of diarrhea at all.  Of course I don't take it on an empty stomach.  Anyway, pretty good stuff in my opinion."


"Remeron helps me to go to sleep when I get ready. I still wake up at night but fall right back to sleep. I haven't noticed any abnormal weight gain or urges to eat more at night."


"At the end of my first month. Thank god for this med!! Breo has been great! Haven't used my nebulizer and rescue inhaler has only been used 2 or 3 times. I am so grateful for the 12 month free prescription as well..no insurance to cover it and I was very very ill. My wheezing is gone and I'm not coughing! It's a miracle :)"


"I have extreme anxiety attacks that make it hard for me to breathe, which makes the oxygen levels in my brain go down. I have found that it helps me calm down to the point where I can rationalize the stress and anxiety that is causing the attack. I also find that when I am nauseous it helps me not vomit."


"This is not an inexpensive drug, but it has completely taken care of my headache problems.  I take one 40 mg Relpax at the beginning of my migraine (which is usually accompanied by nasal congestion), and I'm typically back to normal within one hour.  For a long time I didn't realize I had migraines; I thought they were side effects of some kind of sinus infection.  Once I started looking for a migraine remedy I tried a couple of migraine prescription drugs.  Relpax was the most effective for me.  (Different drugs work best for different people.  Try a few until you find the one that works for you.)  I'm very pleased with, and grateful for, Relpax.  Instead of being out of commission for two days, I'm back to normal within an hour."


"This medication was the first to have any kind of positive emotional and physical effect on me. Not all medications work the same on everyone but this one sure worked on me."


"Every time I felt like I was about to get a cold sore, I used to use the Blistex. Recently, my brother used Abreva and told me it got rid of his in 2 days. And I just recently got a cold sore, but I didn't use any product on it the day I felt the tingle that means one is about to come, so the next day I woke up, and of course had a cold sore. I went to the store because I remembered that Abreva worked on my brother so I got the product$22. This is my second day using it and it is damn near gone I have been rubbing a little on and then put another dose on it and just let it sit there and soak, and once it dried, put another dose on top,and keep doing it. After a while, dab it clean with a hot was rag to clean it and let it breath a little.❤i"


"I got a flu shot and the next morning I woke up with fever, pounding headache and a large red swelling on my arm with streaks that connected to the lymph nodes. I was diagnosed with cellulitis. I was clearly not swabbed well enough, if at all (can't remember).

I started on 3 doses of Cephalexin 500 per day, but got worse the first day and ended up in ER. The ER doc bumped me up to 4 doses. It has pretty much cleared it up. The exhaustion has been horrific, and at times I'm dizzy. No diarrhea, but sometimes I become extremely nauseous. It strikes me out of nowhere. I find that taking Zantac helps. I'm also really, achy and all around unwell. One pill to go and I can't wait. But, the stuff works or I'd have developed sepsis, so all good."


"After being in denial, I completely broke down with anxiety and depression. Went to my doctor and prescribed me Pristiq. After a week I took a big turnaround for the best, so happy! Stick with it, give it a chance to work. Side effects were nausea for the first few days stomach upset, but don't give up! I have been on Celexa in the past but takes to long to kick in..plus 40lbs weight gain. Pristiq cuts the appetite ,and you not hungry, at least if you needs a few lbs off this is the medicine to be on!"


"I have been on this drug for almost a year now and it's the best of what's out there for relief of pain, instantly."


"I have had restless legs syndrome for about a year now. It drives me crazy. It is just in my left leg no where else. Dr gave me Requip and did nothing. I tried tramadol and although I still have a bit of tingling in my leg and foot, my leg seems more relaxed. I will say that the ONLY thing I have found to work right away and all day is Vicodin. My doctor told me that pain medicines are a treatment for restless legs syndrome. I'm hoping the tramadol is a winner so I can stop with the pain medicine."


"Im 37 y/o female and was prescribed this after a suicide attempt. Took just a few days but I feel the best that I have in a very long time. I can't tell you the last time I had the energy, enthusiasm, or Clarity that I have now. I've been on so many different antidepressants & anti-anxiety medications that I've lost track of what all I have been on. Best medication in combination with 5 milligrams of Abilify!!! I feel like I am getting my life back. I truly feel like my life has been saved. I did have loose bowels off and on the first two weeks, but now on week 3 it is getting better. My guess is, like any other antidepressant, some people respond in a positive way, and others respond in a negative way. Nature of the beast of depression!"


"Intestinal effects were greatly reduced by substituting name-brand Glucophage XR for generic metformin (various manufacturers), and a lower dose of Glucophage was sufficient to achieve a similar BG effect (daily dose reduced from 2000mg to 1500)."


"I have had the implanon for about 9 months. First 3 months were okay, the following 3 months started experiencing very extreme migraines (which I already had an issue with prior to insertion) mood swings very drastic mood swings, no energy to much, always tired and no desire to do anything. At about 6 months I started feeling really depressed, lonely, unwanted (I have 2 kids and a very caring fianc"


"I've been clean for almost 4 yrs. 1st time in my life. I got off all these medications because I was so messed up.I had a Combination of the diagnosis listed and PTSD.  When I detoxed I was blessed to be in a facility that took me off all of the meds. I was taking for all my diagnosis. Replaced it all with exercise, NA mtgs., working with my sponsor, my therapist and talking to my Hp everyday. The first yr. I was so out of it but I eventually felt so much better. This medication caused me to become manic, having anxiety attacks, my upper abdomen became distill, I became incontinent and couldn't go poo to save my life. Basically, I went back to Oaklawn and was honest with the pysiciatrist I have now and I told her how hard I was working to not have to go back to having to put this crap in me."


"I am stage 4, took metronome had great results then ibrance,just the 1st month I was on it 3 tumors popped up, got off it for 3 months then went back, well it made the tumor bigger,..side effects, back aches while walking, sore throat, hair loss, weakness in arms, feeling tired all the time, my cancer psa was 14, in one month on ibrance it went to 35,..I see oncologist on the 9th, I'm sure my psa will be higher, so I'm taking my self off of it..."


"I take 25 mg at night, yes I get drowsy during the day, so yes I drink more coffee, but I just crave sleep. The bottom line is that I can function, the main reason for taking them was insomnia, and now I have good regular sleep patterns. I don;t feel like getting up in the morning, but I feel like going to bed at normal times and generally I feel normal after feeling so strained and stressed out with insomnia - a result of some anxiety and compulsive thinking. I still wish I could sleep right through the night and I probably can on 50 mg, but with 25 mg I think I get enough restful sleep, and 50 mg makes it harder to keep functioning during the day."


"This drug has cause way to many side effects on my 12 year old grandchild. Has cause her body to over develop very fast."


"It is a very effective drug when used correctly for suitable patients."


"This medicine has curbed my cravings for vodka.  Sober for 36 days with little or no cravings!"


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

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

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


"I used to take Diane 35 from age 20-25 and my new doctor in a new city convinced me to start taking Alesse recently. I've been taking it for two months now and I have experienced spotting basically every single day since I started, sometimes light spotting, sometimes heavy, and it only stopped for one or two days. I can't find anyone else who has had this same experience so far - might have to change to a different pill. I'm hesitant to do that though because one very good side effect from Alesse has been a reduction in appetite for me! I haven't had aching breasts or acne yet. My moods also have seemed pretty fine. I just want to stop spotting every day."


"Reasonably effective against pain but capable of interfering with breathing.  Makes it scary to go to sleep.  I'd be very careful with this medicine at any but the absolute lowest doses."


"I took dulolax at midnight & got rudely awoken at 6am with the worst cramps & urge to go to the toilet, it was a horrific experience I've never felt so ill going to the toilet, it was like chocolate milk yuck!! I think my body was in pure shock as it took me 2 days to recover, I lost my appetite & slept a whole after my bowels had been emptied."


"I started taking doxycycline 6 days ago now and I have seen some big differences in my face. First, my chin almost immediately cleared up, and I had 3 pretty deep ones the day I started taking it. Next, the ones in my cheeks starting going, and now it's basically just the marks they've left behind. Since I started it I've had only a couple new spots come up and they have gone away fairly quickly.

As far as side effects, I HAVE to take antibiotics with a probiotic. If I don't, my vagina will feel awful and I will get infections. However, I have been taking doxy with a probiotic every day (probiotic around lunch, doxy after dinner) with good results. I think everything is in balance as long as I supplement with the probiotic. No nausea."


"It makes my hands shake."


"Serostim worked for 12 years but does not seem to help now."


"I've been on Alesse for five months now and I had every side effect. Crazy acne (I've never had until I started taking Alesse), mood swings, weight
gain (I was 120lb before starting Alesse and not five months later 145lb - I am a petit woman and I don't eat very much, my food intake and Excerise has not changed thus, the weight gain is depressing), chest pain, swelling breast and no sex drive. The pro about Alesse is
that it regulates. I had regular periods for five months.
The only reason I was put in birth control was to maintain my polycystic ovarian syndrome. I'm 23 and was diagnosed with PCOS last year. I am now switching to a new birth control (Tri Cyclen Lo) and hopefully this one is better. Finger crossed!"


"Best migraine pill I have ever taken and I have tried them all. The headaches are debilitating and this medication is worth every penny. The rating is for effectiveness and I would rate higher if I could. It's a life saver. No migraine hangover, works quickly, and no relapse. Amazing"


"I'm 22 years old and I had been battling with armpit hyperhidrosis since I was 12. It didn't matter if it was hot or cold outside, I would still have dripping wet underarms. My doctor recommended me to use Drysol for 7 days straight, and then 2-3 times a week. All I can say is that I'm extremely happy for the results, at the 3rd day of treatment I could notice that the hyperhidrosis had decreased 80% and by the end of the first week I had zero sweat.

I'm from Chile and the product is much more expensive here, but it's definitely worth it. It changed my life and gave me back the confidence I had lost."


"This medication worked wonders for me and I felt quite good on this medication. The problem lies with the side effects. Unbeknownst to me for many months was that it increased my prolactin levels which caused my breasts to grow and menstrual cycle to be off. High prolactin is harmful in the long run and my breasts never returned to their previous size (although maybe some of you ladies would be happy about it. I also gained a few pounds on Risperdal but nothing ridiculous."


"I have been on Belviq since around the end of Aug. 2014. (I'm unable to do much exercising because I am disabled so I'm guessing this is why my story isn't like everyone else's.) I have lost around 25lbs. give or take since I started. NOT what I wished for BUT so much MORE than I could EVER do on my own. (especially with all of my medical problems). For this, I AM VERY HAPPY with this product and can only hope it WILL continue to work as it has, or if I'm lucky, even better! Either way it's been great!"


"I'm so happy that I can give a REVIEW.  May 31,2016 was the last day of my period. On June 1,2016 I had protected sex. He pulled out because he wasn't trying to nut fast..  So the condom broke. We haven't had sex for about a week and he missed me. I bought a plan b pill 8 hours later, I was on here reading reviews and hoping that plan b works. Plan b gave me so many bad symptoms, nausea, slight headache, PAINFUL LOWER BACK PAINS. about a week later, I'm back on my period. It's normal ladies. Don't stress and I will continue my story in another review to make you ladies feel comfortable and stress free. Hopefully it help."


"It made very aggressive that the police had to come to my house I don't recommend if your under 18"


"This was the worst of all the antidepressants I've been on. One day without taking it and I would immediately start to withdrawal. I quit this cold turkey disregarding my doctor's request because I just wanted it out of my system. I basically went manic for about a week but I felt so much better when it was cleared from my system. Hated this drug. 0 stars if I could. My new doctor even refuses to prescribe this."


"Finally a prep that worked for me!  I've had 2 previous colonoscopies using the old gallons of nasty salt water prep and Pikoprep--neither worked for me as I did not get completely clean.  Today I had great results after using Suprep!  Sure it doesn't taste great but you can get it down.  It started working within an hour and I had no cramping or discomfort at all and was done in 3 hours.  The 2nd part of the clean out went just as well and my colonoscopy was perfect.  I highly recommend this product!"


"I was on 50mg of sertraline for over two months for anxiety.  I experienced problems with diarrhea right after I started taking this drug. It eased off in a month, then came back with a vengeance in the second month to the point I was counteracting the anxiety med with Immodium.  I spoke to the doctor who prescribed it and he said it shouldn't bother me that way, take more!  Take 50mg twice a day!  Suffice it to say I did not take more and went to my family doctor for a different drug, Effexor.  I am in the trial period of the new drug, but the good news is the diarrhea ended shortly after I stopped taking Sertraline.  It did reduce anxiety somewhat, but I will never take it again!"


"LIFE CHANGING - I have tried many of your typical RA drugs since being diagnosed at 22 (Plaquenil, Methylprednisolone for 5 years ) "


"Originally, I was pretty scared to get this because of all the bad side effects I read about, but I decided to give it a try. I got my first shot in July 2015, and I had some bleeding/spotting for about 3 weeks, but I haven't had my period since then. I have had some very minor side effects, some I am not even sure are because of the shot or could be completely unrelated. I have gotten a little more emotional, and it does make me more hungry than usual. But I have been careful to not let this change the way I eat, and I have gained less than 5 pounds overall. But other than that, I don't have to worry about getting pregnant and I only have to get a shot once every three months. I personally have had a great experience with it."


"This stuff is rubbish.  Just wanted to sleep.  Tired of caughing..just tired.  It did not help AT ALL.  I know there is a problem with people abusing cough syrup.  I get it.  Now sick  and TIRED from not sleeping...which makes being sick worse, and last longer."


"I am 26 years old. I have been smoking half a pack per day, of menthol 100 cigarettes, for 8 years. I am on day 14 smoke-free. After the 3rd day on Chantix, I couldn't even force myself to smoke a cigarette. Completely disgusted, even by the smell of second-hand smoke now! I only take half of the adult daily dose, and I still have zero urges. I have many vivid dreams at night, but nothing terrifying or crazy. My mood is very stable. The first few days I felt a little agitated and felt some rage, but that could just be nicotine withdrawal. Now, I feel fine and I am a non-smoker. The only side effect that was bad, was the nausea. Felt it the first week, very strong, but now I feel fine as long as I eat when I take Chantix. So thankful for this medication, it very well could have saved my life. I am just weary of the long-term effects of taking Chantix, which is why I will discontinue use after a full month and see how it goes."


"This is amazing for anxiety / panic attacks. I could nt be without this for when my anxiety levels peak. Its the onlt thing that works that brings me back down some bit and relaxes me. It really is a god send for anxiety / panic. I am taking this 2 years now but only take it when I really need it. Would highly highly highly recommend this. Its just brillant and side effects are non existent as far as I am concerned. I take the 250mg dose which is a white tab"


"I have been on this for over 8 years. It was my first and only birth control brand. Made my breasts swell and hurt for a couple months and then that completely went away. I had no other side effects. By this point my periods are so light I will do 4-6 patches before removing it (yes, you can do this with the patch!). I highly recommend this. I put the patch on a butt cheek and alternate sides each week."


"I have been on Belviq since Monday. Starting weight was 222lbs just weighed in at 214lbs lost 8 lbs with only 1 pill a day, exercise 2 times a week.  So excited to start next week at 2 pills a day.  This really works."


"I was on this birth control for three months. I gained over ten pounds and went from a C cup to a DD. This pill was absolutely terrible for me. I lowered my sex drive and my emotions were so all over the place, I considered seeing a therapist. Seems like a lot of side effects for such a low dose of hormones. Not worth it at all."


"I experienced severe headaches, backaches and bloodshot eyes."


"More energy. Better, deeper sleep, no more stomach problems. Haven't felt better in years. I would have started this med a long time ago if I went to the doc sooner. Only downfall is the side effects when first starting them. I also get bad side effects after I get sick with the flu almost as though I'm starting taking them for the first time again. All in all I would recommend this to all that ask I am afraid of getting off of the meds from what I've read on the internet though."


"I got nexplanon 12/2015 right after giving birth. I bleed lightly six to seven months after insertion. I haven't had a period since. Bloating, but no spotting. Nothing. I have had the mood swings but to me, that is expected when hormones are altered especially after pregnancy. I've GAINED weight 20 freaking pounds. (Could have been to postpartum depression too) Ugh! Other than that I think it is very effective."


"My mother is 88 and has had a problem with Ambien for the four or so years she has started taking it. She ran over a bunch of signs in the middle of the highway with no memory of it. She got lost twice before we realized it was the Ambien and not Dementia. I keep it away from her and administer it each night. She is like a drug addict as she has reported her pills lost and got duplicate prescriptions sent to her. I think it is too strong for older people!"


"I must be one of the lucky ones.   I'm 30 just had my 2nd child 4 months ago which is why I'm sure it was easy.   Literally had one cramp during insertion.   Had it put in yesterday and I'm experiencing NO cramping whatsoever.   Am lightly bleeding though so we shall see how long this lasts.   Not giving 10 stars bc I'm on only on day 2 so I don't have much experience with it."


"I was prescribed Junel 1.5/30 last year. When I started taking it, I bled 18 days so I stopped. I didn't really need to be on birth control but it is easier and regulates periods. This year somehow I was prescribed Blisovi 1/20 which is basically the same just a lower dose and I've been bleeding for 19 days now. I had Seasonique called for me. I need estradiol so birth control pills are the best option but noretherindone does not work for me."


"I've had Nexplanon for 7 months and have been bleeding almost every day for 6 of those months. The bleeding is light, but enough to wear a tampon so it's consistently annoying. On the plus side, once your body gets used to Nexplanon, you forget it's in your arm and I'm also not pregnant, which at the end of the day is its job. I have 3 friends who tried Nexplanon and it worked for 2 of them (they're both on their second ones). Before trying it, be aware that some insurances will not pay for you to get it removed if you want it out before the 3 years is up, so make sure you check with them in case it doesn't work. I do think it was worth the try and would be willing to try it again in the future, but it definitely is still quite flawed."


"This pill worked great for protecting against pregnancy but there were MANY side effects. I would feel extreme lows, more emotional and cried over the silliest things, vaginal dryness, small occasional breakouts, and a week before the placebos would begin, I would start my period making it last two weeks instead of one! Happy to be getting off this pill in two more weeks!"


"I suffered such heavy periods, used to soak through overnight/maternity pads within minutes on a bad day, so you can imagine how life limiting it was.  I was 48yo, had 3 kids. My gyno suggested a marina, thinking it would last 5 years so lasting me through until menopause. I was put under whilst it was inserted. My periods have since been irregular, spotty, unannounced but a lot lighter. To the point I'd wear either a panty liner or small pad. But it did change my life in that I could finally do things! Bad points: my hair has thinned, I now suffer from depression and anxiety, am constantly bloated, can't lose weight.  But I thought it to be worth it as I could do things if I could find the energy that is.  Today it changed."


"I got my nexplanon implant on 12/31/14. Today is 7/24/15. My first to "periods" we're super short and super light. Then on the 3rd period I got (what I like to call) "self destructive uterus and razor blade nipple" syndrome. The worst cramps of my life. It hurt and bled like someone was performing major surgery with a spoon inside of my uterus. I bled THROUGH 3 super plus tampons each day for 3 days, the period continued for a total of 9 days, took 2 days off and then I had a week long spotty-period. Just to have 1 week off, then start the process all over again. I'm currently going through my 4th "cycle" of this nonsense. Also, I'm extremely active (have trained for and completed 2 half marathons in the past 8 months) and gained 30 lbs."


"I'd gotten my first cold sore in 2004 & my lip had gotten really huge. I would get maybe one cold sore each year after that and then at least 3 a year for the last 3 years. Between the months of May 2011 to Jan 2012 I gotten about 5-6 cold sores total and I'd noticed that they were all due to an onset of stress. I spoke with my doctor in Feb 2012 & she prescribed Valtrex 500mg to be taken once a day, daily but I gotten the generic Valacyclovir for insurance purposes. I don't take it daily for suppression as prescribed but I do take it immediately when my lip feels tingly and again the following day and I won't get any sore(s). I've had a few stressful situations since getting the prescription but no outbreaks. So far, so good!"


"A life saver, have used them for years when in any major pain (Broken or bruised ribs, broken ankle, major headache etc) They work miracles when taken properly. I usually take them every 4 hours to keep the pain away. 5/325"


"This drug should NOT be allowed on the market. Severe anxiety, horrible depression and loss of appetite. 1st month was ok, however the second month was horrible. It has made me question the happiest I have ever been. My doctor had to prescribe anxiety medicine to help me get through the work week. Thank god it takes the depression away as well. Awful awful drug!"


"So the dr gave me some amox-clav 875 mg a week ago. I only took 3 that was enough to know I had a darn YI ,so I used some Monostat cream for the outside because of the itching. hwen I tell y’all I was burning like anything -  I wanted to run through the house screaming for a fire hose to put the fire out "


"So far, I love the implanon! I read so many horror stories before getting it inserted that I was so scared.
I'm 21 and  have horrible periods normally. I  had to stop taking the pill as I gained 8 kgs, my breasts were so tender all the time and I was so emotional and teary. I honestly thought the implanon would do the same to me but so far NO periods, NO weight gain (in fact i've lost weight) Great sex drive, My mood is the same as always!

Really happy! Don't let all the negative stories affect you, everyone's body works so differently!"


"I have been on this birth control for over 3 years now, and it has been amazing for me. I tried Sprintec and had crazy mood swings and depression. After switching to this my life has completely changed. I have very regular periods (I know that I will start in the morning on Tuesday of my period week), and my periods have gotten much lighter and shorter. I used to bleed heavily for 7-9 days, so this birth control has worked wonders. I don't think it has made me gain weight, but it is hard to tell as I graduated college and took a desk job a few years ago which influences weight as well. All in all I have only gained around 10 lbs whether it be due to the birth control or taking the desk job. I would highly recommend."


"Hi everyone!

I live in Australia...

I have just returned from my doctors today 19.10.16 to be told that xanax will no longer be avaiable.

Only for special circumstances,so please check with your doctor if you are reliant on this medication."


"I think most people expect changes in body too quickly. I have been on alli for three weeks I am down 4 lbs. I am eating smaller meals and in a consistent exercise plan. I never expected alli  to make me rock hard after a month. I plan to use for 2 months to help kick start my second 15 lbs.  Alli works if you follow restrictions not going to work with an extremely fat meal. This is supposed to supplement a new life style change. If I only lose 3 to 4 pounds more I will be happy. I am not expecting alli to work after 3rd month. I have 6 more pounds to lose before vacation and another 8 to 10 this year. The lesson is you still need to watch how much you eat. You also need to be active 3 to 4 days a week period.  15 lbs this year and 15 next"


"I started taking Xanax in 2007- my daily dose was up to 4mg daily as needed. I finally felt that I had my life back. In 2013 we moved to AZ and the 1st Dr I saw here discontinued it, cold turkey. A few others were drastically cut back and stopped without any warning. I must say it has been difficult."


"I started taking it on October 1st, it is now the 6th and I've already lost ten lbs. I don't have that much more energy, but I don't have cravings or really get hungry but I make sure to eat three small meals a day. I don't drink anything except water. I am really active at work. I make sure to eat breakfast or I'll get a headache for the rest of the day. I stay away from bread and pasta. This pill is honestly a miracle worker but I feel that for me to keep all weight off I have to eat. I can't starve myself."


"I've never had children, and don't really ever plan to, so I wanted something that wouldn't require going back to the clinic every 3 months. Plus, the whole not getting periods thing was a major plus.

The insertion was pretty painful. I tend to have a pretty high tolerance, so it wasn't the most pain I've ever experienced, but it certainly wasn't comfortable. Luckily that part didn't last more than a few seconds.

The cramping the first day was really bad. The first week or so I used a lot of ibuprofen and did some deep breathing. It has been a week and my cramps are totally gone, I haven't had any bleeding, and I'm very happy with it so far!"


"This did not help, the restricted my lungs from expanding. "


"The patch is a wonderful item if it would stay on.  It only lasts 3 to 4 days then it dries out and peels off."


"Leaves a big bruise"


"Am now on day 2 of meds still in horrible pain.hurts so much to swallow any type of food or water.. Fever is under control thanks to round the clock advil and Tylenol.no relief as of yet hoping that it starts to help.."


"I just had my first baby in November. I knew I wanted to wait at least 3 years for the next. I was on the patch before and loved it but I didn't like having to remember to switch it. My Dr recommended Mirena. 10 weeks after my son was born I had it put in. I actually didn't feel anything. Didn't hurt and no cramping. I have had it in for about a month now. I have spotting on and off but not a big deal. No cramping. No weight gain. Sex drive unaffected. I love not having to worry about it. For those complaining about insertion if you haven't had a kid try Skyla instead. It's smaller and you should have less insertion pain. For those who just had a kid get it in as soon as you can while your cervix is still "loose" don't wait."


"Always works like a charm within 24-48 hours. No side effects!"


"SOFT GEL PROBIOTIC and a ton of water. I can't stress this enough!!! After reading the reviews I was absolutely mortified about starting this antibiotic(clindamycin 300mg 2x's per day) . I'm one of those people who always get every possible side effect of medication. I stumbled upon a very helpful review of someone suggesting taking a softgel probiotic . I took the probiotic once daily approximately one hour before my first dose.  I am entering day 3 of this regime and have yet to get any of the unpleasant side effects mentioned. I also drank about a liter or more of water with each pill. I will update this post once I finish the med. Don't let all of the scary reviews get you down. You can do this!!"


"Really good and old prescription medicine. Helped my neuralgia a great deal with NO side effects."


"Champix was very effective to stop me from smoking! After six days I suddenly woke up and for the first time in 30  years I didn't feel like having a smoke. So I didn't and haven't for over three months now. I read many reviews before starting to take it and was kind of dreading the side effects, but decided to take it anyway. Took it for 2.5 months. I only noticed very vivid dreams (not bad nightmares) that even amused me, but made me wake up 2 or 3 times a night, so it was a bit tiring. Besides that for the first two weeks I had trouble remembering words and felt a bit disconnected. It was only after I stopped taking it that I realized I had been very depressed, had 2 car accidents in 2 months (first in 25 years of driving). Worth it!"


"Talk about an increase in hardness."


"6 weeks so far taking this I've lost total of 21 pounds so far. Very satisfied with this I have absolutely no side effects. Can't wait too see what the upcoming weeks bring :)"


"It's only been a few days with Soolantra but my Rosacea is horribly worse! Does it flare up big before getting better? Or is this a sign Soolantra isn't for me?"
