"Hi everyone.  2 weeks ago me and bf have the sexy moment together.  When I checked the ovulation calendar, I was expecting to ovulate! I was so scared and I took plan B within 1 hour. 2 weeks sleepless night and with help of traditional herbs, I got my period today. Exactly the day I was supposed to get! So thanks plan B. Thanks a lot! For ladies who still waiting their period, don't be scared. Plan B will help you. Be safe everyone!"


"I was put on Trulicity because I had an allergic reaction to Medformin and Tragenta.  I had so much anxiety about taking Trulicity after reading the reviews.  I took my first shot on Thursday and today is Sunday.  I have had minimal side effects.  I felt a little achy in my shoulders and next but it only lasted 2 days.  I have not had any of the other side effects.  It does curb your appetite but not to where I can not eat. When I would wake up in the morning my readings would range from 140-158 and now that are around 110-115 which is amazing.  I would wake up with headaches and no more headaches.  I am very pleased with the results and very thankful for minimal side effects."


"I've had bad breakouts throughout my life, but when at 23 I had the worst break out of my life. Not only did it last longer than six months, I couldn't ignore it - I had pimples around my eyes literally poking into my vision. Every time I saw myself without makeup I wanted to cry. Then I found Epiduo. It broke me out before it got better, every blocked pore and blackhead came to the surface. My skin burnt, especially around the eyes, so keep it away from that area! But stick with this, (and stopping drinking milk, which I found out was the cause of the blocked pores). I've now got the smoothest skin I've ever had in my life."


"I have an 8 yr old son who has ADHD. He has tried several medications including Adderall and Vyvanse. Nothing has worked as well as Strattera for him. He's a new kid. So much happier. He used to have severe mood swings with the Vyvanse, although it did control his ADHD fairly well for about 5-6 hrs after he took it. Strattera has been a big help regaining some normalcy in his life. He is only on 10 mg daily for the last 3-4 weeks but it has made a very noticeable difference. I have not seen any negative side effects from it, and he is actually eating on it. Thank you Strattera."


"This took EXACTLY 12 weeks for it to hit. It gets worse before it gets better. I broke out so bad throughout the whole process and my eyelids would get dry for some reason. But it WORKS. It was a rough three months, but when it hits you, you know it's finally working. Tough it out and you will see results. I get maybe one breakout a month now, but it's hormonal. I will probably always stay on this cream and am currently getting laser genesis to help with the scarring."


"Headache treatment is different for everybody, but this is the only medicine that has ever worked for me.  It gets rid of the headache 95% of the time!"


"NO. Just no - it works but it is very hard to tell if it is even worth it. This stuff is highly potent. They recommend it for children but in my opinion it is highly unsuitable - I am a very small teenager and it has absolutely wreaked havoc with me. I took two tablets (the prescribed dose) before bed and the next day I thought nothing had happened - I soon found out it worked. By the end of the day I was experiencing intense and relentless cramps, burning, and my parents told me they noticed my stomach had "deflated". It is the correct dose for an Rhino maybe, but for small adults and children I recommend you stay away. Save yourselves - you have been forewarned."


"I was taking an acid reducer called Ranitidine quite often over  a 3 year period.  Doctor prescribed 40mg Protonix for 28 days and my stomach  felt so much better. Now going without the medication for 10 days, it feels as if my stomach is not doing so well. Doctor advised that I take 20 mg when needed. Bottom line - it worked for me."


"I am a 48 year old married mom of four 5"1 176 lbs. My doctor told me I needed to lose 20 lbs to start and eventually an additional 35 lbs to avoid high blood pressure as well diabetes. I have Medifasted, grapefruit diet, Weight Watchers with no success. I did many over the counter rip offs. This medicine works... four months, lost 26 pounds and I am going down the right road. Still have a way as to go but know I will win. I am not starved and eat well just make better choices easier then I ever thought this could be. This is a product that worked for me and should work for you."


"Shortly after beginning Diovan, I started coughing, and it just never stopped. Little by little, it increased to the point, that I just couldn't take it anymore. I still have a lingering cough, but not as bad as when I stopped. I am hoping it will stop completely with time. I wish I had known it was a common side affect before I started using it. Now I am afraid to take a different med for high blood pressure, until I research it thoroughly."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Take your meds - they work❤"


"I have taken Lexapro 20 mg for many years for depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Only side effects (male) are unable to achieve orgasm, which can be frustrating if you let it. But, I tried Viibryd which was to "improve" Lexapro (no sexual side effects and no weight gain - which I never had weight gain anyway). Viibryd was awful. Did not help depression OR anxiety, and I was ravenously hungry. I insisted on going back on Lexapro. It is tried and true for me. Stick with it; it takes 6-8 weeks to be fully effective. "


"Having felt sick for the better part of the last year, many side effects of pain in my neck due to 3 bulging discs,  I was recently hospitalized with heart palpitations but nothing seems to be wrong with my heart. My doctor thought I may be having depression due to all my physical pain. She started me on 25 mg of zoloft two weeks ago and increased it to 50 mg today.  I'm feeling a positive change already. Not dwelling on my feelings of pain and sickness.  I will continue zoloft as the side effects are minimal compared to the benefits"


"I have been taking Ativan for a few days while I wait for Lexapro to kick in. It has been a life saver. It has allowed me to eat and sleep, which has been huge in this fight against anxiety. It really helps mellow me out and take the edge off."


"I first found Afrin while in Vegas. I was super stuffed up, worse than ever before. I tried out the Severe Congestion version and it cleared me up almost instantly, it was awesome. This version has a Vicks type chemical which burns big time but only for a moment. The original formula is not like that but works well but not as quick, 5-10 minutes maximum. I have been taking it daily for a year and have had no issues. After reading these articles, I will consult with my doctor. The only side effect I have experienced is the same with every sinus spray, the rebound effect has made the symptoms a little bit worse. "


"I've had delayed sleep phase syndrome, mood disorder and ADHD all my life, due to brain injury at birth and a family pattern of delayed sleep phase syndrome. I managed a successful professional career but with great difficulty and with struggles with different medications. I way overused caffeine, with mixed results and side effects.  Provigil has been wonderful and I wish it had been available when I was a child and in school and working. I feel normal and alert and not constantly fighting sleepiness, inattention and depression. I can't help wondering how much better I might have done with this medicine. It is helping me with my second career as an artist.  "


"I never responded to any medication for anxiety and depression, which was made worse by most medications. Deplin was a miracle for me. I started to use it this summer and my response was immediate. My response seemed to pop out this summer but I learned that some people can have this response and need to lower the dose and start and stop the medication. Also my response could have been do to the Klonopin that I reduced after 20 years of usage. Overall this medicine was a miracle for me.."


"I have had INTRACTABLE PAIN since 1989. I am in an INTRACTABLE PAIN Clinic since 1989. My pain, without drugs, is 10, 24/7/365. Without pain medicine I was bed bound, 24/7/365, for 4 years. I tried a number of medicines, which worked well. Then in 1995, I discovered Levo-Dromoran, 2mg. It is the best medicine I have ever taken and I have had all of them. It gave me my life back! I have never had any side-effects. The ONLY problem, is they can't supply it all year long. Approximately every September, my pharmacy can't obtain it for about 4 - 8 weeks. I take Opana when they run out of Levo."


"I am giving it a 9 only because I have only been on it a few days. It works. I used to get so tired just doing my grocery shopping and have to sit 2 or 3 times during and feel like I can go for miles now. I do notice in the reviews the different ways people are using it. I was told after inhaling to rinse mouth thoroughly as the medicine can cause thrush. Anyway, I have a little chest tightness and get a bit of a headache at first but that goes away after about 30 minutes. "


"I have been on this injection for three months and it has changed my life! I wake up happy not worrying about what day of the month it is and being totally pain free From this awful disease! It has stopped the inflammation of the endometriosis which is growing all over my womb and ligaments and I'm not bleeding every 21 days! My skin in perfect my nails strong and weight has stayed the same despite an increase in appetite ! No heaving floods or crippling cramps and bowel pain! Also just started Taking the Tipolone to counteract bone issues just dreading the last zoladex injection and getting my periods back for that three month stop gap. 3 months of misery . But side affects have been hot flushes and anxiety hoping tipolone works."


"I started out on a 100 mg..  Best sleep. Wake happy. Ready to go. I love it. Perfect for me."


"Valium makes me Stutter about 80% less! Wonderful medicine if taken the right way. I can be normal like everybody else, don't know what I would do without it."

"I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe for 10 months. So far...

- No weight gain

- Light periods (2-3 days), occasionally no period

- Fewer acne

- Decreased my sex drive a little (I had crazy sex drive, so it's a good thing to me)

- Does its job when it comes to protection, no pregnancy.

- No mood swing

Sometimes it takes a bit of work to find a pill that will work with your body. In my case, Loestrin 24Fe works fine with me. I'm a very petite person that's about 4'11 and 90 lb."


"I have been using it for chronic back pain and for cancer it has helped me a great deal, mine was prescribed by my doctor at the hospice in England so I was not out of pocket. The medicine works wonders, really helping my pain."


"Used at a funeral, supposed to take 0.5mgs, did not work at all.  Took another, and another, and another.  Maybe my doctor sucks, or maybe Ativan sucks.  Do yourself a favor and get some Xanax if needed for occasional anxiety."


"It works great! It helps numbs the pain a lot which helps. It also speeds up the healing process. If I start using it the second I feel the tingle sometimes the blister doesn't even form! If I can't get another tube before it starts to blister but I can get to it within a day, it shortens the time I have it from 7 days to only 2 maybe 3. Totally worth it! I've dealt with these all my life, it's nice to have something out there that works."


"At the smallest dose (I believe 25 mg) I didnt have any blackouts like I did with ambien and I could easily fall asleep. I liked this drug because it didn't give me dry mouth, I could wake up when I had to and not feel hungover the next day"


"if i could rate this a 0 I would. I have struggled with acne for 5-6 years now. At the end of October I FINALLY went to a dermatologist. She prescribed Tazorac along with Acticlate. However, Tazorac DOES NOTHING. It is a topical treatment meant to be used at night, it is supposed to help clear acne and scarring. I would use it every night after washing my face. It didn't work...AT ALL. I still get acne and I have been using this stuff for 6 months. I highly DO NOT recommend."


"Need Something over the counter now...This stuff works. Use as directed every 4 hours and promise you your nausea and vomiting will disappear.. I still think Zofran (Prescription ONLY) is the best stuff but this is a close second for over the counter."


"Works like a charm, but keep the tissue handy...no pun intended! I was having severe abdominal cramping & almost went to the ER. The pain would subside, then go away but on Day 10 I couldn't take it anymore even though I was still having BM's. The doc ordered this, along w/ a powder & some meds to help w/ the muscle spasms (sharp, shooting pain from mid gut to my ass). I took them at 3:15 on the dot (all 3 at the same time) & by 3:30-3:35 I had my first poop. It doesn't give you immediate release but after your 3rd or 4th poop the pressure subsides. You may wanna take a sick day after you take this stuff, LOTS of water to prevent dehydration, Netflix subscription & plenty of TP. Happy Pooping Y'all!!!"


"Thyroid supplements are really hard on my stomach & I couldn’t take them for long. I found out most have lactose in them; Levothroid does not. If you’re lactose intolerant or have digestive problems, I would highly recommend trying Levothroid. Going on 6 years now and no ill effects."


"I wanted to say that I have been taking this medication for about 3 months now. To put it into perspective, I told my doctor that I had actually laughed the previous week. I have chronic pain from spinal arthritis, foot, knee, and leg pain from arthritis and spinal nerve pain from damage from shingles. I was miserable. I still have pain, and have to be careful not to overdo it, or I have break through pain. But this is a good thing because I don't want to do more damage to my joints. I take gabapentin for nerve pain. I wanted to say that my doc prescribed an asthma puffer to put medication on my skin before I apply the patch. I spray it on by depressing the puffer, and then spread it very gently. No rash. I forgot once and had blisters."


"Had a colonoscopy for the very first time and they used propofol. They told me I might stay awake during the procedure but that most people decided/tried to fall asleep anyways (I didn't even have to make a decision because 2 seconds after the nurse plugged it into my IV, I was out cold!)

When I woke up, I didn't remember a thing from the procedure, and I was only asleep for maybe twenty minutes after the procedure finished.

The only side effect I noticed was that I had the giggles for about fifteen minutes after I woke up--I couldn't stop laughing at everything! That might've just been because I was tired, but it was really funny!"


"I'm 23 years old and overall healthy. The first six months I didn't notice any differences in my cycle, health, or personality. However, after the six months I noticed chest pain, palpitations, numbness in my extremities that would come and go. I would go to the doctors to get it checked out and my labs and EKG all came back normal. Shortly after these problems occurred I started to become very anxious. I have never had anxiety in the past so I tracked when exactly I was having it and when it was at it's highest. After two months of tracking it, I noticed on the same exact day of those months I had the highest anxiety at the same exact time. Needless to say this drug was awful on my health so I stopped taking it."


"I take this whenever I'm out where there will be loads of people or crowding. It stops my anxiety attacks from becoming full blown. I feel relaxed and at ease, but when I take more than 2 pills in a day I start to feel drowsy and nauseous. But I rarely take more than 2, I love this medication, it works great for social anxiety."


"This medication has been extremely helpful to me. 7 months ago, I developed IBS, which made me very nervous about my stomach. I slowly became nervous about everything, not knowing that my anxiety was more than just " little worries." I was afraid to go to important events, thinking something bad could suddenly happen to me all the time. My mother was noticing these changes in my personality, so then made me go to a therapist. That was when I was suggested to be put on Paxil. I was afraid to take Paxil, but when I was finally forced to, I noticed changes within a week with just 5mg. I moved up to 10mg, and everyone could see changes in how I acted everywhere. I am currently still on 10mg, but even a little can do a lot, even for you!"


"I've been taking Gabapentin for hot flushes brought on by an anti-hormone aromatase inhibitor pill called Femara. The therapeutic does is 300 mg three times a day. It's working like a charm."


"I got this inserted and had to have it removed after a month...DO NOT get this if you already have some anxiety. When I got this implanted I became a completely different person. This stick gave me my first panic attack and I had to go to the ER. It also gave me nervousness to the point where I felt like I was internally shaking, as well as shaking on the outside. I was MISERABLE, and am still trying to recover. It gave me heart palpitations and I can't move 2 feet without being out of breath. My gyno removed it on an emergency visit. Hoping to feel like myself again soon, because this was the lowest point of my LIFE. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. DON'T GET IT"

"I've been using Trinessa for almost a month now & it was going good until about a few days ago. I woke up with an inflamed face. I've had small bumps on my forehead that had been going away but now I have an even bigger problem. My face looks broken out all over. I've read the reviews & they say give it sometime to work & adjust but I don't know if my self-confidence can handle it but I'll see what happens in the next few weeks with it. Wish me luck!"


"I'm tempted to leave a crappy rating for this type of birth control since I did experience negative side effects, but it did do it's job of allowing me to continue to beat teen pregnancy so I had to give it a little credit. Honestly, Microgestin Fe 1/20 makes you feel like you're the size of a killer whale at all times. BLOATED as anything. Lost lot of energy... aka walking five minutes away to class was like practically climbing Mt. Everest. Also, if you don't take your pill with food, you'll feel about ready to vomit for the rest of the day/night. Gained a whopping 6 pounds in one month while taking this bad boy. Not blaming my weight on the pill itself, but the intense hunger pangs it caused me to have without me even fully realizing."


"This medicine can help many people for very short use I've been on it for 4 years and it rules my life so please don't stay on it more than 15 days or you will to be bit by the dragon Ive been off it by choice 5 days now I've experienced super withdrawal effects I was only taking 2mg at jump point with doc on call and my brother helping me through it so please use this very short term there are serious side effects"


"Insertion was not bad. For me it was fast and not painful at all. A week and a half later after insertion got my period. It lasted for two weeks. I had only one week without any bleeding when it started again. It lasted again for two weeks. After a week and a half I got my period again that lasted for 4 weeks now. Abundant period. Today  after 2months and a few weeks I went to the doctor to take it out. I couldn't handle one day more. No pain at all when he took it out. Only good thing, periods were not painful.  But I rather prefer pain for a few days and a 8 days period than an never ending painless period."


"I was only on the med for a few days when I knew it wasn't the one for me, I felt like I had cement on my veins it was so hard to get out of bed & once I was up I was in such a fog. On top of being super fatigued I was more agitated. I was afraid to reach out to my doctor but I did & I'm glad. Since switching it's a complete 180° in my mood."


"I've been taking Innopran XL for almost 2 years now, and I've had one headache in that time frame. Previously used to get 2 a week. It has changed my life."


"After being on Depo Provera for five years, I decided to try the Nuvaring. After having my second and last child, I went back to the Nuvaring. I love not remembering taking a pill daily and the ability to skip periods (there is still a chance of breakthrough bleeding, but it is light). I am diabetic, so the amount of estrogen in contraceptives is a concern; the Nuvaring has 15 micrograms which is lower than many OC's (besides Lo Loestrin Fe which has 10). Unlike OC and POP, weight is not a factor with effectiveness. At first, the side effects I experienced were breast tenderness and vaginal irritation. The side effects went away after the second month. I had to get used to the insertion, but now it is no problem."


"It nor any other antibiotic have helped my sinus infection at all. I get bad headaches with mine and nothing works regardless of the multiple trips to doctors."


"I thank Xanax for making me a better mom. I was mean to everyone around me and I took the motto "this is who I am" to heart. It was not until my mother died after having my third child that I actually realized my angry childhood and anger in this world was not to blame on any one but my own feelings. After taking Xanax and some therapy, I am a new person. I would not be able to live without it. I do not abuse it. I only take the amount prescribed by my doctor and no more. I also take Paxil which helped me a lot as well, but without the Xanax, I would not be living. Participating with my life and most of all my children. I read to them now we go on picnics and wilderness hikes. I love my life, now!"


"This medicine caused me to have severe anxiety and to feel not like myself. In addition, my throat felt like it was closing up and I more than likely had some type of reaction to this medication. I hated the entire experience being on this medicine.

Try the healthy route of doing FODMAPS in your diet. That has helped me through IBS issues."


"I absolutely loved OrthoTriCyclen! I was always irregular and had very bad mood swings, cramps, headaches, and nausea associated with PMS and my period. The first couple of months, I experienced occasional nausea and dizziness but that's to be expected when starting a new hormonal treatment. My periods shortened to four days instead of six or seven and I was able to pinpoint my periods each month while on the pill. I stopped taking it for a few years but I'm getting ready to get back on it this next week and I'm looking forward to it! After I stopped taking it, however, my periods became irregular again after a few months of discontinuing the pill."


"I feel like Xanax saved me. I had a very rough childhood with my father addicted to drugs, lost our house, had to raise my sisters because my mom had to get a full time job. I was going down a very bumpy road. I finally settled down with my now soon to be husband, and with the persuasion of him and my father (now sober, and also has anxiety) At age 18 I finally broke down and decided to go talk to a doctor. He prescribed me to multiple anti-depressants that made everything worse. He then put me on Xanax, I've never been so stress free. I have held down the same job, I'm doing well in school and again, and maintained a healthy relationship. I'm a changed person at 21 years old."


"My boyfriend and I had one too many drinks and we decided to have unprotected sex without using the pull out method! Well, I took the pill about 10 hours after for my very first time. I had no major side effects after taking the pill. After an hour or two of taking the pill I became very sleepy. I had my time of month a week earlier, and I was more hormonal than usual. I did not imagine the pill being a little expensive but I rate it a 10 because it worked and it is sure worth the cost."


"This medication has significantly reduced my anxiety. I am currently on 50 mg and I am able to sleep longer without mid night interruptions. Before Seroquel I took 10 mg of Abilify (bad lethargy and restlessness). Life doesn't seem so scary to me anymore."


"I am a 29 year old male and have had Crohn's disease for 8 years.  When I was going through college I became very ill and over a two year period of ups and downs lost 100 lbs.  Only due to the grace of God I made it through college with a civil engineering degree.  I was first put on all the typical drugs: Imuran, Pentasa, Asacol, Prednisone, B-12 injections.  I received the Remicade initially only when I had flare ups.  I watched my diet to a T (specific carbohydrate diet), but would still end up flaring up.  For the past 6 years I have been on a maintenance dose of Remicade every 10 weeks and have done very well.  I do have a goal to eventually get off the Remicade."


"After years and years of having the worst unbearable "I want to kill myself" cramps a doctor put me on Sprintec. Promising that it'll stop my periods. Meaning no more pain. I'd only have one period every three months.
WRONG!!!
Each month I prepared myself for not having a period. And sure enough here it was! When it wasn't suppose to be.
Sure it made the cramps bearable.

Now! I had a period for February 2017. Okay. Fine.
Not two weeks later here's another period. I'm aggravated.
NOW not even FOUR days after that last period I have ANOTHER ONE!

And I wonder why I'm dizzy and sick! I'm not taking that crap anymore!"


"I thought it worked really well at first but I started getting a rash so I stopped now withdrawal is hard"


"I started taking the pill about 4 years ago, the first year it was not the best, my period was irregular but after that no problems! i didn't gain weight, no mood problems or pain during my period. it has work for me! but every body is different!"

"I have been on Junuvia for eight weeks. No side effects, no problems. The blood sugar two hours after eating is well below  120. However the fasting blood sugar level does not dro below 100. Overall I am very satisfied. It is very expensive but good."


"I became ill on a trip to Europe...The pharmcies there are allowed to dispence certain medications without a prescription...This medication in one night completly eliminated all symptoms..I am amazed that we do not have the same system here in the states....I suffer frequently from UTIs and have not had this medication prescriber before....What doctors prescribe in the States takes at minimum 3-5 days to feel better.  This medication worked on the illness and pain and was simple to take..."


"I Went To Go See The Gynecologist On Monday April 18th, I Went It Not Having Any Symptoms & I Had Gotten My Pap Smear Done & A Chlamydia Screening Done & On The 19th I Recieved A Phone Call Stating That I Was Positive For Chlamydia I Instantly Started Freaking Out Because Of The Whole 23 Years Of My Life I Have NEVER Had An STI, My Doctor Put My On This Medication It Was Literally Two Pills I Had To Take The Same Day (Azithromycin) I Took Those And The Next Day I Still Felt The Same Way So I Called My Doctor & Told Him What Was Going On And He Prescribed Me A Different Medication Called (Doxycycline) I've Been Taking This Medication Since The 20th But Idk If It's Working I'm Still Urinating A lot & It's Somewhat Uncomfortable."


"To help some girls out - This was an excellent option - for my body. I am a girl who usually had a period from 56-66 days so around every 3 months anyways. I was nervous to go to the doctor to get birth control every month because I already hated having it so far apart. My doctor recommended Seasonale, and it has been great! I get occasional migraines, but it's nothing that I have had to complain to my doctor about. I've only had a little bit of spotting before my period is supposed to happen but it's nothing that I can't handle. I definitely recommend Seasonale for girls who don't like their periods every month and for girls who are consistent with the medication. Don't take this if your going to skip days, it defeats the purpose."


"I have been using Spiriva since 2005 with good results. You can prevent breaking off little pieces of the capsule by applying firm steady pressure on the trigger rather than jerking it."


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder almost five years ago and have tried just about every medication without success.  I have recently started taking Saphris and it is my miracle. My mood swings have gone and I'm no longer angry or depressed.  I have plenty of energy (minus the mania) and feel a complete sense of well being. The dissolvable wafers have a very bitter taste however this is a very small price to pay considering how awesome I feel.  "


"I have only been on adipex since june 3 and I have lost 13 lbs, my goal is 60 lbs. I eat every three hours, healthy meal of course and exercise 3 times a week."


"I have been prescribed 8mg sub. Buprenorphine. One a day for over 2 years. I cut one into for 4 to 8 pieces and take tiny piece a once or twice daily. My pain is manageable and a 30 tab prescription lasts for 2 to 3 months. I no longer depend on opiates and no longer wake up in morning with body cramps and pain in my entire body from opiates wearing off. My pain isn't as intense. When I was taking opiates my pain got worse by the day. My tolerance to them grew by month. I don't know why this drug isn't used more in the US. It took me 3 days to make the change from daily high doses of opiates to buprenorphine. I did take most of a full tab those 3 mornings. If you REALLY WANT to stop opiates and take very little medication I recommend."


"Hi all! I read all of the posts before deciding to start Victoza. I was REALLY NERVOUS after reading all the negative side effects people were experiencing. My doctor prescribed Victoza after Saxenda was not covered by my insurance. My first prescription of 3 pens set me back $250. I now see the website offers a coupon card and plan to try to use that for my next dose.
 I have had no side effects other than just not being hungry. The first few weeks at lower doses, I would experience hunger in the evenings but now on 1.8 dose I am not hungry the whole day. I did have a bout of sulfer burbs after eating eggs, but it was mild. Since Jan 29, I've lost 15 lbs and I feel great. Will continue on medicine."


"well...... it worked.
that's about all I can say.You'll be able to focus, and if you don't mind the fact that the ONLY thing you'll be able to focus on is how tired, nauseated, and occasionally slightly mad you feel, this is the medicine for you.
despite that, it's worth nothing that i'm only 17 and ~130 pounds which is really close to the minimum weight on the box. based on what i've seen, it seems to work better for ~30  year olds who aren't underweight. not a professional, obviously, though, so take this with a grain of salt."


"I have been diagnosed with extreme acid reflux (more to come later on),
Approximately 1 1/2 years ago my bad acid went out of control and started to come up in my mouth walking/sitting/laying down.
I went to see my gastroenterologist and he sent me off to see a surgeon.
The surgeon says I need a operation that amounts to be a gastric bypass.
I did not like the diagnosis, About that time my gastroenterologist decided to drop all his medicare patients.
I went to another hospital/gastro guy and he wanted me to stop all my ant-acid meds (2 ACIPHEX 2 RANITIDINE and 2 Omeprazole)  for a week, After one days I was asking him to allow me to stay on

For some reason the site is not allowing me to enter more details."


"Very, very cost prohibitive and didn't provide relief at all."


"Made me very ill after one tablet. Vomiting for 24 hrs. Tried it again in case it was just a bug and again ill for 24hrs. Not for me"


"Although it did work for reducing my migraines, I found that the side effects outweighed the treatment. I had almost all of the side effects mentioned: confusion, irritability, diarrhea, tingling hands and feet, vision changes, loss of appetite and weight, change in sex drive and worst of all hives. The people around me were glad I stopped taking it, as it made me act differently than I would normally."


"I fell four feet backwards off of a straight truck and whacked the back if my head off of a concrete parking lot and gave my self a concussion. Long story short, I have had a rough go at the post concussion symptoms and the migraine/cluster like headaches have played a MAJOR role. Theres days where I just lay around in the dark and do nothing. The pounding just takes over and that's all that matters. You are not even you anymore. I was prescribed Topamax on Nov.18th and started one week on 25mg. Nothing changed. Then two weeks on 50mg, again nothing changed. This is my third week on 100mg and I am FINALLY migraine free. The side effects do wear off after time. You just have to give this medicine time. Worth it."


"I was given this medication in the emergency room for the anxiety I was having. It did nothing for me. I'm bipolar plus I have anxiety. I'm looking for something new. I was on klonopin but was taken off of it because it's highly addictive. I had taken that for 24 years. That helped a lot. I'm disappointed that atarax didn't work."


"I just started my suboxone treatment. After years of heavy oxycodone use. At my worst I was doing six to eight 30 mg oxys per day! I quit cold turkey once I revealed my problem to my family, had the worst week of my life from the withdrawal as you can imagine given my amount and length of use. After 6 months of relapsing here and there and having constant terrible cravings I finally got on suboxone. From day one this has been a lifesaving med for me. My cravings are gone , I don’t drink alcohol and my outlook on life is a million times better. If you are having a rough time with addiction then please seek help and know that suboxone literally saved my life ."


"I've been on Trinessa for about a year now my doctor prescribed it for me since I hadn't had my period for a year because I was on the depo shot and gained so much weight from the shot! But ever since I've been on trinessa my period is usually on time and is usually short about 3-5 days, don't really bleed much. I sometimes have mood swings, getting sad randomly but that's about it. I recommend it to anyone!"


"For what it is worth, I'm a scientist at FDA and after having tried all other topical steroid creams, a dermatologist prescribed this product and it flat-out worked.  I was very surprised and delighted."


"I had daily hedaches and migraines that were coming every week out of the blue. It was debilitating and my career was suffering. I hate tablets but I listened to the Doctor and went on to Propranolol. I'm only on 7 days and already I'm pain free for 5days  Woke up this morning with a horrific migraine and it was gone within 30 minutes of taking my daily Propranolol dose.  Only side effects seem to be dry eyes and achy chest which I would take any day than have the debilitating pain and sickness of the last 4 months.  Really do recommend this."


"Alright ladies, my experience with Mirena entails no gruesome or terrifying stories that will make you run for the hills. My experience with Mirena has been fairly good.  I got Mirena approximately 6 months ago. Beforehand I was entirely frightened due to the horrible reviews that people post on the internet. But let me just straighten this out. Some people do have bad experiences but those people are the ones who feel obligated to narrate their story to the world.  So I'll be the one to write something positive.  Slight pain during the insertion, nothing worse than cramps.  A month of irregular bleeding. Only to be followed by four months of glorious period free time.  I occasionally get spotting but it isn't anything bad at all."


"I have really bad allergies that are pretty much year round now! I was taking Claritin D for months before I found Flonase! I took both for about 2 days and then no longer needed the Claritin! It was REALLY worth the money! Everything started clearing up within 24 hours...its been 5 days now and all my symptoms are gone!! Don't listen to the haters! This medicine is AMAZING! I told my dad about it, because he has allergies like me. He started it yesterday and I got a text from him today thanking me for telling him about it! He said he can already breathe again!"


"I've recently tapered off Zolpidem after 28 years of use and decided to try Phenergan 25mg as a 'substitute'. The first two nights I woke up regularly and had vivid weird dreams. The third night it knocked me out cold. I slept like a rock, however I felt like a zombie the next day.  Although Zolpidem felt more natural and I was more refreshed the next day, I'm happy to be off sleeping tablets and will use Phenergan for a while until I can let go of that as well. I could never sleep late/in, but with Phenergan I can easily sleep past 10am. No other side effects experienced except drowsiness and vivid dreams and maybe muscle spasms. Great over the counter med for sedation."


"Zyprexa got rid of all my symptoms- paranoia, hallucinations, delusions, depression, mania, catatonia. It worked so well I have gone off all my other medicines and I got off disability, finished school, and got a full time job. I have very few side effects- mostly I sleep a lot: 10-12 hours. But that is totally worth it to get rid of my symptoms! And I even lost weight!"


"I'm 18 years old and this is my first birth control. This is my 4th month on it and I'm thinking of switching. The first month I bled the entire month but after that I only have my period for about 2 days which is awesome. I haven't seemed to have gained any weight and my skin hasn't changed. The negative side is my MAJOR moodiness. I cry all the time and get angry over the smallest things. I thought I should wait out the first 3 months incase it changes but it hasn't seemed to get any better. I'm depressed all the time and my boyfriend called me out on being really negative all the time."


"Been on Buspar for 6 weeks and I'm not feeling any better. My anxiety is mild compared to most but the irritability and sometimes nervous feeling is why I elected to try Buspar. So far at  6 weeks I haven't felt any benefits. The dizziness has been hard to deal with although I found some relief with 25 - 50 mg. Dramamine."


"After about 7 years of my MS getting steadily worse with injections, my MS has now stabilized. Because of Gilenya? I believe so, even though it is not approved for secondary primary MS. It stabilized at a not so good place, but I am not feeling any worse than when I started Gilenya and MRIs prove it (no new lesions). It came out a few weeks too late for me though, because I just started to get pock marks in my skin from injection site reactions to my previous injection drugs. That Gilenya is oral was enough for me, but that it works even better than the injection drugs has me an advocate of this drug(!"


"I am a 28 year old male and was diagnosed with Crohn's 6 years ago. I had a flare up with an abdominal aneurysm and lost approx 90 lbs. I was put on Remicade and it has saved my life. I have been on it every 8 weeks for about 4 years and have regained a healthy weight and my symptoms are at an all time low. My only complaints are that getting the treatment is time consuming and the cost is obscene if you don't have good insurance. However, despite all that, it truly has saved my life and I couldn't be happier with the actual results of the medication."


"The first time I took this medication I was severely constipated and was recommended this by a doctor. I woke up the morning after taking two pills with diarrhea all day. It cleaned my system out pretty good and overall I thought it worked great. I was constipated again a short time later so I decided to take a dulcolax pill again. I woke up at 5:00 am with the worst stomach pain I've ever experienced. My face turned white as a ghost and I could barely make it to my parents bedroom. I fainted on the way there and couldn't stand back up for 20 minutes. Finally after severe pain for another two hours I was able to fall asleep. Worst product ever. I felt like I was dying."


"I volunteered for a toenail fungus study and was able to receive the medicine for free.  It took months but all my toes except one are clean and that one is almost fungus free.  Also my left big toe was so bad the nail kept coming off but it is now starting to grow back, strong and clear."


"I have been on Paxil for several years. It helps in so many ways. To those that get sleepy ... try taking it at bedtime."


"I've been on this particular birth control for a little over a year now, I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe and Lo Loestrin 24 Fe. It's helped more than Loestrin itself did. I haven't had bad acne, no weight gain whatsoever (it's extremely hard for me so weight gain is welcomed for me), no crazy mood swings, no nausea. Cramps haven't been the greatest, but they are better than they used to be on the other birth controls!"


"I have been on this birth control regularly for almost a year now. I am very sensitive to the hormones and experienced extreme sickness I mean to the point I was throwing up every morning and on the verge of passing out no matter what I tried to prevent it. I learned that taking it in the morning solved this problem. Negative side affects are that I have a huge appetite (thankfully a high metabolism) constant headaches, worse PMS, no motivation, tiredness, irrational mood swings, and last week I noticed breakthrough bleeding and cramps halfway through the pack. But all in all my periods are short and I'm not pregnant yet! Remember every woman is different."


"Been using Jublia for 10 months. Was getting detachment of the nail on the big toe and Doctor said 8 of the 10 toes had some stage of infection.  Now just have a spot on one toenail  with clear growth halfway up the nail.  I used it as instructed and I'm one of the fortunate ones - I am nearly clear if the toenail fungus now.  Will keep it that way by never getting a pedicure ever again."


"took Larium on a trip to Indonesia and had huge vivid excruciating nightmares each night. i never usually remember my dreams, but this trip was disturbed each night by bolting out of my bed with my heart pounding and sweat all over my body. it was a truly horrible experience. next trip I took Malarone and all was good. I met a fellow traveler in another part of Indonesia on this 2nd trip and she had the same experience with Larium that I had. I did not get Malaria but the drug side effects were not worth it to me."


"Started working really well after two months. I received low doses and it worked.  I laugh now and can still enjoy sex, unlike some other anti-depressants that depress all emotions. This is a good helping hand."


"It does the job as far as not getting pregnant but I'm never getting it again!!! It will be 3yrs March 11 and I can't wait 2 take it out!! Anxiety is so bad, attitude is worse, I can't concentrate, confused, Moody, bleed and have some sort of discharge everyday, infections. I think it's old blood in me that's not coming out and causing a disturbing smell like a miscarriage smell..I know this birth control can cause blood clots so hopefully I don't have that going on. So I'm gonna get on pills or maybe nothing!  Been Celibate since I got it in (3yrs) DON'T GET IT PLEASE DON'T!!!"


"Worked for the first couple weeks. Now I am up to 60mg just to get to sleep. Its been two hrs and no sleep. Its slowly not working anymore. Been on it for a month."


"The 3 years went by so fast. I loved it so much I just had it taken out and a new one put in. My cycle comes every 3 months and last about 7 days, the other months I may cramp a little but no spotting so far."


"I love Contrave December 1st 2015 I started contrave at 289 as of this morning I weight 207! I feel amazing. The only side effect that I have had is constipation, which isn't a huge deal when you get excellent results."


"I have been taking seasonal for almost 3 years and love it. My periods are shorter and lighter with less pain. I haven't had any problems with break through bleeding. This is the only birth control pill to work for me (have tried 5 others). I know this pill doesn't work for everyone though."


"My depression is weird, mostly due to tapering off of and recovering from benzodiazepine dependency. I have awful anhedonia and have been watching my life crumble in slow motion over the past year. I know I needed to do something.

The Paxil is a stopgap solution but so far I'm starting to climb my way out. I can't really attest to side effects. The worst I guess is a dry mouth and fuzzy thinking, but honestly, I've been depressed for so long, I can't say my thinking has been that great to begin with. I was afraid it would lower my libido and I'd have anorgasmia, but so far no.

My logic is thusly, I may end up losing my job because of "personal problems". Won't it be nice if I can actually handle such an eventuality instead of giving up?"


"I have been using Imitrex since it first came out in the 90's. It was a God send. I've had migraines for 42 years. I get about six migraines a month. Imitrex always works BUT for me I pay a price with stomach aches. Sometimes I refrain from taking Imitrex for fear of the stomach pains."


"Was put on Nora be because for some reason my doc suggested it even though I preferred the implanon. First I hate having to take a pill everyday so I probably am a little biased.  Although I can say I saw a significant change in my mood. Usually Im a happy go lucky kind of gal, but since taking the pill for 2months my irritability level went from a 2 maybe to a 10. I knew something was wrong when I started having evil thoughts on hurting someone over something that could of easily resolved, to ketchup! I usually brush things off, but being on this pill, I swear i wanted to kill someone. I was literally in a rage over ketchup! That was when I knew I wasn't myself.  I completely stopped. Not a fan of this."


"Well I had my first 3 months shot on 18th January 2015  and two days after it I started bleeding, I have never stopped and the date today is 15th of may. Quite depressing since it was my first time taking contraception. I had all the possible side effect to be honest. Hot flashes at night, terrible migraines, severe back ache, fatigue, tiredness name it. There was a point i went to doctors everyday but now I got used to feeling ill which is quite sad. So you are taking a risk using Depo-Provera"


"Amazing! I had been having some issues maintaining an erection, would take the fun out of it for my wife and I as it was so much work to remain erect. The 20mg is unreal with immediate results and lasts 48 hours - felt like I was 25-30 again!
We have a lot of sex so I take the 5mg daily and although it's not the same feeling as the 20mg, it's still working wonderfully with non-stop erections!"


"When I take my dose it makes me more sleepy than usual. It's not everyday, but some days I can be sleepy after 7-9 hours when I have slept enough (approx. 7-8 hours). That's the only side effect I had up to now. So I am ok with it, I guess. Annoying with two tablets 500 mg each day, but oh well better than seizures. That's even worse. Those who had them can feel with me. :)"


"Have been backed up for a few weeks. Doctor prescribed taking 2 of these 2x a day along with taking MiraLax 2x a day. I took both, THEN started reading reviews. I think I'm going to die, but if I live I will write another review. Terrified based on these reviews condsidering I took 2 + another laxative.

Update:

Took 2 pink pills at 8:00pm. Didn't feel anything until 9:00 - Went about every 45 minutes or so from 9:00 until midnight

At midnight I started having cramping and slight heart palpations. Nothing too bad but freaked me out and couldn't fall asleep. Shaking and cold. From what I've read it gets bad after 6 hours so still 2 hours to go..."


"I have been taking LoSeasonique for a few years. I went on antibiotics (Zpack) for a ear infection. I have never once had any issues with this before now. I have been on my period for a month now, the bleeding won't stop. My doctor said go off the pill for a week and let your body rest and it should stop, if it doesn't then I have to go in for an ultrasound. I am freaking out. Its been that week and I am still on my period. Make sure you let your doctors know you are on that pill before they prescribe you any antibiotics."


"I tried 1 mg clonazepam, It did work for my insomnia, But I did look up the half life of it which is up to 30-40 hours. Plus the withdraw from it, So I weened myself off of it. Spoke to my doctor about what else is there and I was prescribed 150 mg trazodone. It works Great. If you look up the side effects it will say definitely not to be used for a sleep aid. it is safe to use in smaller milligrams like I use. 150 mg."


"I turned age 66 last yr and at annual check up my Dr recommended I get a pneumonia shot (never had 1).  The Doctor said take half that yr and other half this yr and then never take again. Last year  I had redness and swelling of arm, joint and body pain, chills, weakness and cough.  The redness had gone after 1 week but other symptoms continued for 2-3 months. This year at check up I told my Dr my side effect symptoms but he didn't think it was from shot, so he gave me the other half. Within 2 hours arm swollen with redness covering whole upper arm.  I was hot at the injection site and stiffness in joint and reduced range of motion. I had soreness in front and back shoulder area. I had body aches ,low grade fever and in bed for 3 days. Some side effect symptoms are better but redness, soreness, low range motion still present. Never again thank goodness"


"I've been battling insomnia for almost 4 years. I had tried Ambien but always wound up digging in the fridge at 3am. It made me sleep walk really bad. Now with Doxepin, I'm able to sleep through the night and no digging in the fridge at 3am."


"Been on for 3 weeks take shot on Mon. Side effects started on day 3. 2nd week day 4 this week day 5 . Upset stomach, vomiting,  extreme nausea! Nothing  helps!! Horrible belching and gas! Cannot function on those days. Blood sugars are great!  The jury is still out. Do these effects go away after a while?"


"It workswhile its in your system.  Works fast...but it makes my hands shake bad.  My heart raceses too.  Hard to get use to, but slows the contractions to nothing."


"I have been taking these pills on and off since last year.  When I am strict with my diet I see amazing results.  My body has adapted to them, so that is my only downfall.  They are no as affective as when I 1st started them.

To anyone having side effects, I was having terrible headaches and dry mouth.  My doctor offers name brand and generic pills.  The generic pills give me massive side effects, I can only take name brand. If you are having side effects take 1/2 pill in the am and the other 1/2 pill late morning.  That way you can split the dose, it will stay in your system longer and may help with evening crashes."

"Today is my second day and I feel okay.  I am in transition from Celexa to Wellbutrin XL.  I take Wellbutrin XL 150mg in the morning and Celexa 10mg in the evening.  The only main noticeable side effects are I am a little anxious and I have stomach cramps.  They are not terrible though.  I expect to have some transition period.  I know it sounds crazy but I lost 1 pound in the 1st day I took it. Celexa put 10 -15 lbs on me that I cannot take off even with exercise.  I will keep you updated!"


"For context, I am a 21 year old male with oily, bumpy, red skin. I began taking Oracea in June of 2017. For the first month, I noticed no change. After that, I began noticing improvement until about week 6 when I peaked in terms of how my skin looked and felt. For whatever reason, my skin went downhill ever since then. It has now been 6 months on Oracea, and my skin is only slightly better than when I was not taking Oracea, even though I also started metrogel in September. It seems like Oracea works for some people, but it did not consistently work for me."


"I have been on Januvia 100mg at bedtime. I always struggled with FBS in the mornings. So added Januvia to Metformin. My A1C has dropped from 6.8 to 5.9 in 6 months. I have had no side effects that I am aware of. I have been able to loose 35 pounds as well with walking 4 days a week."


"The first few months I was thrilled with the Implanon. I noticed no side effects and I had no period. I did notice a small decrease in sex drive but that was it. About a month ago, I started noticing my hair fall out. It has gotten to very thin on top and it comes out when I'm brushing it, touching it, etc. I think I will be getting it taken out because of the hair loss, my doctor told me there is no way to know when it will stop and I can't afford to lose more hair."


"I am male, 57 years old.  I went from being very fit and active to zero activity within a week due to acute pain symmetrically in all joints.  I endured this for two months, and was finally diagnosed with PMR Disease.  Started on Prednisone, 20 mgs per day and obtained immediate results, eliminating 85% of any discomfort.  Dose doubled after two weeks, now all pain has been eliminated and now on the direction of my Rheumatologist I am starting to wean myself off after being on it for one month.  I am back in the gym, no issues.  So far so good, and so far zero side effects."


"If you have social anxiety don't take more than 40 milligrams of Vyvanse because you'll be extremely anxious. I'd also suggest taking 0.25 milligrams of Klonopin in the afternoon to help with the moodiness and anxiety amphetamines cause as they wear off."


"I have been taking 50mg of Trazodone for insomnia for 3 years and I fall asleep in 10 -15 minutes. I take 20mg of Celexa during the day. The combination of both has greatly improved my depression and anxiety and sleep. I worry that one day the combination will stop working, but so far so good."


"First off. Side effects.... Brain zaps. Pounding heart, foggy feeling. First 3 weeks I felt the need for a lot less Ativan. The worry stopped and blood pressure came down . I'm on 5mg per day. Around week 5 I started to notice my blood pressure going back up. Acid reflux and a little nausea. Pounding heart back. I don't want to give up on buspar because I was so happy to lose the everyday worry. On week 7 now. Still at 5mg. Thinking about doing 5mg twice a day. There is no magic pill, but this was close."


"I have osteoarthritis in my spine, knees and hips, made worse by all the lifting I have done over the years as a nurse.I was prescribed Dihydrocodeine on a long term basis and unfortunatly fell prey to opioid addiction as well as the chronic pain. Three years ago I was referred to pain clinic and opioid dependency clinic where I was put on Methadone 70mls daily. I have never looked back. I now live a 'normal' pain free life. Methadone should lose it's stigma in society though."


"I've been on yaz for over 6 months now, and it has been the only thing that cleared up my acne in the last 8 years. I had very severe cystic acne on my forehead, cheeks and chin (basically all over my face). After taking Yaz for 3 months, my acne started to clear up dramatically. I can now go out without wearing 5 pounds of makeup! "


"It worked for about a month. 10 mg,  then seemed all of a sudden stopped working. "


"Been on this medicine for more than ten years. The 8/10 is for it is due to its overall minor side effects over time, and its very powerful effects when not taken CONSISTENTLY. BE ADVISED. This medication works best when taken at the exact time(s) everyday and I have experienced all other symptoms people have described as bothersome but this is not the typical take it to be a walking zombie pill. I also don't think people realize how much they are moving when manic and when on this medication, you calm down. So it's completely natural to want to sit around all day and watch T.V. I also have gained weight and have difficulty shedding the pounds, however I would rather be SANE and curvy. I weighed 130lbs starting, NOW am 178lbs."


"I ran out of my prescription and hadn't been on the Nuva ring for months. I started back on it two weeks ago and I've been an emotional wreck ever since. My boyfriend even noticed how weird it was that I was happy all the time when I wasn't on birth control and since I started back on it I've been upset and crying every day. I feel so bad for him having to deal with me because the smallest thing will set me off and then I'm just irrationally angry. I hate feeling this way. Going to have to go back to the doctor to get a different bc."


"I take Wellbutrin XL 300mg every morning for my depression. Feeling like I needed a lil something more, my Dr. put me on Miratapine 30mg daily. I had no side effects with this combo. And I know that many ppl on 30 mg say that 30 mg knocks them out. It wasn't that way for me. I had no problems waking and starting my day. After 3 weeks... I still didn't feel any difference. My Dr upped my rx to 45 mg a day. I had been taking my WB in the AM and Mirt at night. When we increased the Mirt, I found it harder to fall asleep. and waking up thru out the night. Since, Mirt is known for the sleepiness at lower levels. I split my rx and took 7.5mg at night and the rest in the AM along with my WB. This combo now is working really nice for me."


"There no material in side effects list that you may have a hard time with Novocaine.  My dentist spent hours trying to figure out why he could not get me numb before he made the connection.  Be forewarned that this is a potential problem.  This drug all in all has improved the quality of my life drastically. 7 years and topped at 90 mg. I hit tolerance a long time ago, but it still does what it was designed to do.  I am not looking for a high,  I am looking for a life with alertness and this medicine has given me that. I personally trust this older proven medication. "


"On 7/19/11 I had a routine A1C and my Doctor called me during the weekend to tell me to drink lots of water and stay away from sugar.  My A1C was 11.0 and he was really worried.  I started on Metformin 1000 mg a day and then 2000 mg a day.  My blood sugar was still consistently in the mid 200's.  They started me on Byetta mid-August.  After getting used to the nausea, the 5 mcg dose was fine (started 8/4/2011).  I switched to the 10 mcg dose one month and once again spent 3-4 weeks dealing with almost crippling nausea that not only made me sick, but worsened my panic problems.  I stuck through it though because I could see the changes in my blood sugar. Yesterday 12/26/11 A1C is 5.5 and I have lost 25 lbs.  Dr gave me high five!"


"Synvisc gave me significant, almost immediate relief from the bone-on-bone pain in my knees. Since then, as I continue to learn about my knee problems, I now understand that some of the pain is in the tendons around my knees, which are inflamed due to severe bow-legs. Still don't understand why the bowing is increasing with my age, but this forces my tendons to stretch in an incorrect manner, more on the inside of each leg than on the outside.  Unfortunately Synvisc cannot address this problem, although it does provide a nice separation between the joint surfaces which also suffer from excess pressure on the inside portion of each knee. I am currently looking into shoe wedges to improve leg straightness by preventing excess supination."


"Very pleasant in a variety of doses."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Day 1-Started with first dose after breakfast. Full meal  and 16 ounce glass of water to wash down medicine. Second dose taken six hours later with a full meal at lunch. Also drink 16 ounces of water with medicine. Around 2:30 in the afternoon started to develop a headache. I drink more water to see if that would help. Around 3:30 my headache was much worse and I started developing a stiff neck. Took my third dose at 6 PM  with a full meal and 16 ounces of water. 30 minutes later I got really nauseous and threw up four times. I have never thrown up this much in my life. I contacted the pharmacist and she told me to stop the medication immediately. I also contacted my doctor and she told me to stop, as well."


"DO NOT GET THE NEXPLANON! I just had it removed this morning after 1 year and 3 months of use. I had my period for that entire time A YEAR AND 3 MONTHS NON STOP! My mood changed completely. I got depressed, everything made me cry, I would get angry at anything and anyone. I started to have acne. I would get bladder infections, my hair texture changed as well. I really think is the worse Birth control method out there. I'm going to start the pill method next week so hopefully it will work out."


"This birth control completely ruined my life. First of all, I had to be put under anesthesia to have it inserted due to pain. I woke up to the worst pain in my life. A month after insertion, I suddenly felt fire in my right ovary during intercourse. I ran to the bathroom and immediately began to vomit. I then passed out. I couldn't stand for hours. The doctor said the IUD caused me to have a painful ovarian cyst rupture. I had never experienced that before. After a year of recurrent BV (Which I never had previously) and misery, I got it removed. I'm still battling BV from this wretched device. Please stay away from this and don't be stupid like I was."


"I have been on every medicine for bipolar/depression, anxiety you can name. I was on Effexeor for 7 years it worked for the first 2 years but lost it's effect, but the doctors had to keep me on it due to the fact very time they tired to ween me off, I'd experienced terrible withdrawals. I've finally been able to get off of Effexor, this time with little to no withdrawal effects. The doctor put me on Viibryd and I was very doubtful, but I'm happy to say that after only using for a week, I feel better than I ever have! None of the other medicines made me feel this good, including when the Effexor was working. I'm no longer irritable, and my sexual drive is slowly coming back. Thanks to the maker's of Viibryd."


"I have had rheumatoid arthirtis for 1 year now, and continue to take Sulfasalazine and Nabumetone daily. I stopped taking the Enbrel after 7 months as it was no longer relieving joint pains.  I have had two infusions so far, and do notice improvement in my most painful joint (shoulder).  My rheumatologist prescribed a dose pack of steroids, which I took after my 1st infusion. Receiving these drugs together, I was hoping for more improvement, but I will take what I can get.  My arm has markedly improved range of motion, although it is not back to normal. My legs are still stiff, and I still need to shuffle my feet when I walk.  I go back for my third infusion next month, and thereafter infusions will be every 6-8 weeks.  I sure am hopeful this treatment will improve my quality of life."


"I have been on Brintellix for a year now and this drug has definitely had a positive impact on my quality of life. The profound sadness that was my unwelcome partner for many years has for the most part dissipated. On most days, my mood is good, but the strange thing is that even though my mood is not depressed, I have little motivation to do activities that would bring me pleasure. I very rarely engage in hobbies, watch TV, read books, listen to audio books, or exercise, so I have a lot of free time in which I do nothing. Amazingly, my mood still remains relatively stable. But it is a frustrating mindset and so I'm going to ask my psychiatrist to lower the Brintellix or adjust one of my four other psychotropic meds I also take daily."


"I got prescribed this product last August after visiting a dermatologist. Acne was always one of my insecurities and it had gotten pretty bad, but about 4 months of using Epiduo, my face had cleared. The first few weeks are going to be miserable, my face peeled, became red, and hurt to even touch. To help the dryness, I found using Eucerin's Aquaphor completely saved my life. I highly recommend this product, go see your dermatologist."


"This is an initial review seeing as though I haven't even gotten through the first pack yet. My doctor prescribed tri sprintec for my skin & to avoid weight gain.

I take the pill everyday at 5:30 pm. An odd daily pattern has developed. In the morning I feel normal. Then by the early afternoon, I'll get a killer headache a couple hours before its time to take the pill! Once I take it, the headache subsides but I get nausea instantly (sometimes vomit) & lose my appetite for the night. Then I get fatigued fast and have been sleeping very early. By the next morning I feel back to normal.

The headaches and nausea suck! I also noticed really painful under the skin pimples. Waiting for skin to clear. Boobs are getting bigger that's a plus"


"Positive:
-You won't get pregnant.
-You may see some acne clear up

Negative:
-Severe mood swings. I can't even control myself.  My emotions do whatever they want, whenever they want. It's ruining my relationship with my boyfriend. I cry multiple times a day. I never used to be like this.  I am switching to a non-hormonal birth control option."


"I, like all of you have had trigeminal neuralgia for years. Was on Tegretol for 2 years then quite unexpected break through of magnitude 11 on a scale of 1 to 10 pains every 4 mins, my doctor prescribed Lyrica, useless with side effects of a drunk, double vision etc. In France oxcarbazepine is not the medicine of choice, convinced doctor to prescribe oxcarbazepine, in half hour normal. "


"I started Saxenda 27/04/17 and so far I love it! Down 5 pounds already...what! lol
I'm rarely hungry and get full pretty quick. I either walk 4-5km a day or ride my recumbent bike for an hour. Drinking lots of water and eating clean. The first day I felt a little queasy but nothing that kept me from work or daily routine.  No bowel issues either. Wake up each morning with a headache but it passes pretty quick once I'm up and around. I was a little hesitant before starting because of the reviews I read about all the side effects, but I haven't had many at all. Not crazy about spending $450 a month on it, but if it keeps on doing what its doing, its priceless to me!"


"I have had toenail fungal infection for a long time. I have been taking this medicine for over a year and a half. It got better and finally grew to the end but is still thick and yellow, however it is now clear on about 1/3 of my big nail now. Doctor said keep taking, must have had a bad infection with it. Not sure why my nails take so long to grow out. Liver still great."


"I got Skyla put in today. I was prepared for pain during the procedure and some cramps afterward. I get super bad cramps every month (the pain is so bad I often faint and throw up). So I was prepared for the cramps and figured it'd be worth it. The procedure wasn't bad. No worse than my regular cramps. Doctor had me do it within the first 5 days of my period so my cervix would be open. I was not lightheaded, only bleeding I assumed was from my period, and I had no cramps afterward. Maybe that was because she put novocain on my cervix. 5 hours later and I had the worst pain of my life. It felt like she had inserted a knife. Super sharp pain. Lots of trembling and profuse sweating. IB profin no help. Peppermint oil helped a bit."


"I have chronic bursitis and these patches are the only thing that helps.  They help numb the pain so I can walk.
Thank you!!
 But now my insurance won't pay for it.  What can I do??  It cost hundreds of dollars a box.  Please help !!!!"


"I'm so tired of being an addict. ..or dependant our whatever you wanna call it. I've been on old school Oxy 80s for over 3 years now. You know the old incredible apos, just push and they powder like icing sugar. Started slow just crushing/snorting quarters of an 80 at a time. I was getting 240/m (for free) we were making money,  we were so high and happy. That is I had become very very sick but I had no idea because the oxy what masking all my symptoms. I was up to 6-10 80s/day.  I went into hospital here in Canada, where I went through 47 days of unimaginable  pain to the point I prayed for death.  As it turned out, oxy was just covering up seriously ailments, including a BRAIN TUMOR!  Clonodine is the only med that helped withdrawals"


"I love this. I've started taking it 3 years ago, it's effective for me. The best thing about this pills it makes me less-hungry, and it help me lose weight!"


"I have focal dystonia as well as 2 failed back surgerys on my cervical spine that left me with nerve damage at the root level. I have been having very painful & disruptive muscle cramping in both arms & feet even in my sleep. My pain management team suggested Baclofen so started me on a course of 10mg 3x daily. So far I'm experiencing sleepiness, balance issues, memory issues, and other neurological problems but no painful spasms.

It is my hope that as with other medications the side effects should decrease over time."


"I took Diflucan at the same time I was taking Metformin for high blood sugar. I had terrible side effects. Among them redness and burning in my face, terrible joint pains specially in my knees, vomiting, diarrhea and upset stomach."


"I followed the instructions correctly. It kind of worked at first but then it stopped, I was back to zero only with a overbloated belly and an unsettling feeling all day. Do not use"


"I have use the facial wash 1 time a day for over 10 years and it has done a great job . Occasionally I get 1 or 2 cysts which I care for with Finacea cream and I have kept my Rosacea in  check ."


"I just started taking Concerta again and I have noticed big differences in my attention span and being able to focus more. I was on it for quite some time when I was younger and then wanted to come off of it in the 10th grade. Now several years later I asked to go back on it and I noticed big changes in school and I thank God for this drug to help me get back to a somewhat normal state."


"I love Lexapro. I was taking Savella before and had to stop due to side effects. Now I'm on Lexapro and I love it. It takes away 95% of my pain and takes away my depression and anxiety at the same time. It's amazing."


"I haven't been using this very long, but I am already amazed at the results. I started on 3/25/2016. I do an injection first thing in the morning rotating my upper arms and thighs. I'm still at 0.6 of course. Today is 3/28/2016 and I've lost 6 pounds already. The side effects are mild head aches and severe fatigue. It's hard to wake up and hard to stay awake during the day. This could also be because I completely cut out my caffeine intake from 5-6 daily to 0. I have no nausea or vomiting. I have NO appetite. I forced myself to eat a sandwich and drink a protien shake this morning. I only ate once yesterday too. I make sure to drink plenty of fluids. Also I haven't had constipation like some have had. I love it so far!"


"I take 3 ,25mg of quetiapine fumarate at night before bed for insomnia. It works very well. I sleep well on it without waking through the night. I have found out that I've had to cut out citrus as it interferes with my meds stops them from working but apart from that its great. And I found when taking it I have to drink alot of water when taking them and have to eat something after them to help them kick in quicker."


"Easy to start and easy to maintain on a daily basis"


"3rd day of this medication and I'm having itchiness around my eyes and all over my face. "


"I've been on Junel for close to 5 years. It did the job of preventing pregnancies. It didn't do much to clear up my acne. I had crazy breakouts on my forehead the first year of taking it but my body has gotten used to the hormones so I'll only get a few zits right before my period. The curious thing about this BC for me is that my period will skip to every other month. I won't get it one month, but the next month, I'll have a really heavy flow. No significant weight gain or mood swings on this pill. The only thing I despise is that it has made me incredibly dry down there and decreased my sex drive. Overall it's an alright pill and I don't hate it. Unfortunately, I have to switch to a new pill since my insurance no longer covers it."


"I just started taking buspar and at first I was scared because I hate bad side effects and don't like to take pills at all so I finally took my pill 10mg I felt good at first then came the side effects lightheaded sweating and dizziness but after 20 to 30 mins later it was over. I felt fine went out to socialize and I couldn't believe it, didn't have a panic attack or anxiety attack they work for me."


"Felt like a zombie during the day.... if I wasn't a zombie I was having a panic attack almost on a daily basis. Cried for no reason, wanted to pick fights. The periods were light and didn't last long, the only benefit to this medicine. BUT... my uterus felt like it was going to fall out of my ass when I had my period... and went through severe PMS 3 days until I got my period."


"I tried bcp in college, but they aggravated my migraines. At age 23, my neurologist said that because most of my migraines occurred just before my period, OrthoTricylen would work for me. My migraines got BETTER, my already clear complexion become clearer, and my periods lightened. However, the first three months were tough.  My breasts swelled from a 34C to a 34D+ (enough to buy a bigger bra), I was easily enraged, and I became a bit of a space cadet - but it all went away after the first 3 months. I also never got pregnant until after taking this pill. If you have migraines, talk to your neurologist about this pill."


"Ingested internally small amount of ketoconazole cream on gums from lips application for herpes sore at the corner of mouth. Severe facial edema, itching, redness, descript of hives resulted. I administered epipen injection which relieved the reaction for 2-hours, but then symptoms returned requiring a course of prednisone to resolve. DO NOT ingest ketoconazole internally as this may result in an anaphylaxis event for predisposed individuals. EXTERNAL USE ONLY."


"I have been on 50mg Zoloft for about six month, I do find that my symptoms have improved some but my memory is awful.  I cannot remember a lot of important things and after doing some internet research, I found that several similar experiences.  Anyone have memory loss?"


"My depression was so bad my anxiety became horrible and also developed scary thoughts . I tried a few different pills and each one after 3 days I had to stop them due to Bad side effects I was then put on zyprexa 2.5mg and did not expect much from them but I was surprised ! First day I did not feel any different but by day 3 I felt a little better and started day 4 broke my pill record ! I'm on day 7 now and feel a lot better ! I feel like me again I still have some anxiety but it's bearable :) and the bad thoughts seem to get blocked out when starting :) . still no bad side effects I have had a few dizzy moments when bending over and getting up to fast but it passes fast :) I'm glad I started this pill wish it was the first one I tried !!"


"I have narcolepsy which went undiagnosed for decades. I don't drink coffee and for years self medicated using caffeine tablets and diet sodas. Finally in desperation started looking for answers via the net, had a sleep study and voila, narcolepsy. Tried Ritalin with no effect, then Provigil and for the first time felt normal and productive. Health insurance would not cover and soon I was paying $800.00 a month for meds. To make matters worse, the Provigil soon lost any efficacy. Ultimately my Doc, reluctantly prescribed Adderall and I have been taking 30mg in the AM and 20 more around lunch. This works ok, but still need caffeine."


"I have had restless legs syndrome for over a decade varying from mild, moderate to quite severe at times. After being prescribed Prozac I found that it helped the depression but made the restless legs syndrome worse.  After falling and cracking my ribs I was prescribed 100mg Tramadol twice daily. It was excellent for pain relief, RLS completely disappeared and I got a good night's sleep. I stopped the Tramadol after 2 weeks and experienced flu like withdrawal symptoms and RLS returned with a vengeance. Internet info is that Prozac can affect restless legs syndrome and taken with Tramadol can cause serotonin syndrome. I contacted doctor and requested lower dose Tramadol to wean myself off. I am still taking  one 50mg at 4pm, any later and the RLS kicks in and is harder to control."


"Well I've been off and on of zoloft and when I'm taking it my friends notice a very big difference. They say that I'm always a lot happier and more of a go getter. I just wish I would of been using it when my ex-fiancee was living here with me because well we'd probably still be getting married. As for side effect's I haven't seen really any at all, I still have a very high sex drive, I still eat like normal, and I'm a lot happier during high stress situations being in the military. But I've been taking 25mg a day in the morning and it help's tremendously. But like people say on here you just have to take it and see if it's for you or not. Hope this review helps everyone out."


"I have been taking for about 7 years. Started at 10mg 2xs a day plus 7.5 mg Vicodin 3xs a day. Now taking 30mg 2xs a day and 7.5 mg Norco 3 to 4xs a day. Before they changed the formula, it worked a lot better. It does give pain relief but it doesn't last 12 hrs, like they claim. I have herniated disc in back also AVN in hips. Just had left hip totally replaced now I need right hip replaced before they will do surgery on my back."


"I have been on this Birth Control pill for 2 years now. I have not had ANY trouble with it ever and really was happy with it. I've heard my girlfriends talking about their birth control pills and how they have horrible side effects with them. I have always been happy with this pill and would recommend it to anyone!"


"I'm 19 and I had never taken any birth control before Yaz. It completely cleared up my acne and my breasts significantly increased in size but were very sore all the time. I had no noticeable weight gain or hair loss/growth or spotting. My sex drive was bipolar, however, and taking the pill also gave me occasional slight dizziness, yeast infection, moodiness, anxiety, and even depression which I had never experienced before. I often had intense headaches and stomach aches but no nausea. My period didn't seem to get any lighter or shorter and PMS, though typically not much of an issue for me, was no different. I got to a point where I just felt awful and had to stop taking it after about 3 months."


"I have been taking amitriptyline for the last 4 months, Have suffered daily migraines since being a young teen. I was started on one tablet 10mg at night for a month which gave little change to my migraines, then upped to 20mg before bed a month later to 30mg at night which delayed them starting until about midday each day. My doctor has now started me on 10mg 3 times daily and has so far been life changing I have only had one migraine attack out of each week. Hoping this keeps up."


"In response to a post regarding how long it takes to get relief. In my researching I found that this medication gradually builds up in your system. When you first start taking it it may take a number of days to experience maximum relief. I find its the ONLY m. relaxant I've tried that relieves my severe spasms & cramping. I thought it wasn't working any more until I went off of it to try several other options. When I resumed taking it the relief was immediate. The neuralgia has muscle symptoms that nothing seems to help- being a chronic pain pt am on several other meds. Am trying Hylands for general muscle discomfort - hoping that will help. Mention that as Hylands is often used during  opiate withdrawl."


"I had to stop taking this (amoxicillin liquid) after it made my throat swell up and affected my breathing.  I strongly believe that it was the yellow colouring in the medication which caused this rather than the drug itself as I have had allergic reactions to Tartrazine on several occasions and I now read labels thoroughly.  I wish medications could be prescribed that do not have added colourings as a large number of people, like me, are allergic to several azo dyes."


"I received the Nexplanon implant in September 2013, after my gyno was unable to insert the Mirena (I have never had children, so that made it difficult). I have always had irregular periods (usually once every 2 months on average), and my gyno told me that I will probably not get my period very often at all on the Nexplanon. Unfortunately, the opposite has been true. I'm bleeding probably 25/30 days of the month, and it's preceded by a dark brown "goo" that was never present before. In the first few months, I had mood swings (irritability, anger, sadness), but that passed. I am getting it removed soon, but I gave it a 5/10 rating because it did its job -- I have not become pregnant. It did not work perfectly for me, but it may work for you."


"I had my first baby at 30 weeks. When I got pregnant the second time, my doctor recommended the Makena shots that I took weekly for about three months. Yet, I still gave birth at 30 weeks as my first pregnancy. It did not work for me . The shots were painful and so expensive, Prime Specialty Pharmacy was billing the insurance company about $3500 for each 4 shots " shipment they call it". I personally would not recommend it. Had I known what I know now, I would have left it in god's hand."


"Was given since having major depression in August (this is March). I have arthritis which pain has gotten much worse, fibromyalgia worse, brain fog, very weird dreams. I awoke at 2 or 3 and can't get back to sleep. During day I fight to stay awake. I have started having a very bad temper and feel angry all the time.  Eye sight blurry, clumsy. I see the GP tomorrow for a different reason (or is it?) and will demand to be taken off of this. I feel this should be taken off the market, it's side effects are horrible!"


"Works great! Slight headache to start.....which doesn't last. After 4 months 80% clear and I had psorasis over 75% of my body. Now after 6 months on it I am 99% clear. Unbelievable!!! This med has worked for me and I take/use nothing else in conjunction."


"I started taking contrave 4 weeks ago. I have lost 6 lbs. I have had no side effects from this drug. It definitely works to curb hunger and craving. I eat to live and not live  to eat.  I tried Belvique and Qysemia and they both were a waste of money and time. This drug is the only one that's curbs hunger and cravings without any side effects. I will continue to take it till I reach my goal. I'd recommend this drug highly"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Prescribed to me for my 50 year colonoscopy.  Did not add any ingredients just the water mix and chilled in the freezer. Taste was like a flat Sierra Mist diluted with cucumber water. First four glasses I  downed no problem. I had three more after that which I paced myself outside of the 8oz every 17 minutes. Finished the whole four liters in three hours roughly, two hours after starting was when the first void hit and afterwards approximately every 15 mins or so until all was clear. No cramping or serious discomfort associated with it, just mild abdominal gurgling and fluidic voids."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I'm on my 3 am dose as we speak.  I did ok with the first dose.  It did not taste good. I mixed it with crystal light,  that was a mistake.  On the second dose I just used water and sipped ginger ale at the same time but it took me a while to get it down. Worked in about 20 minutes both times.  Took a total of 3 hours the first time.  It's going on 2 hours now I am still waiting for it to subside. Not a bad experience."


"I use terbutaline inhaler under the brand of Bricanyl Turbuhaler for asthma attacks and tight chests. I get slightly more side effects from terbutaline compared to salbutamol (albuterol) but it is also more effective. Because I only use terbutaline for acute attacks/short term relief, I don't mind the side effects - but if I was on it permanently as a maintenance drug I might have a different opinion. I would recommend terbutaline because it is effective but only use for acute attack."


"Used according to directions, no help"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Prepopik left me very sore, gassy and bloated. Would never use again."


"Been in gabapentin now for 5 months for my fibromyalgia I'm up to 2700mgs a day and I can honestly say I have absolutely no relief whatsoever from this drug and my pain seems to be getting worse.  My sleeping is shocking some weeks I'm lucky to have 15-18hrs a week.  I have headaches and my legs, arms, fingers, back hips and neck are agony. It's 2yrs since I've been diagnosed plus the 8 months waiting for the diagnosis and every drug I've had prescribed hasn't helped"


"I'm 61 yrs old and have been taking Nortriptyline for about 30 years for depression. I believe I was depressed most of my life before being diagnosed. Initially, it took about 4 weeks before I started feeling the effects of the drug, but once it kicked in it made all the difference in the world. After many years, my doctor had me try some of the newer SSRI drugs (while still on Nortriptyline) and with each one I didn't feel at all like myself (like I was watching my life from outside myself), so with each attempt at trying a new drug, I kept going back to what worked best. Nortriptyline. I guess I'd consider myself a poster child for the drug, because it's always given me a level mood and I've never experienced deep depression while on it."


"I have been a victim of public anxiety for the last 10-15 years. I am currently 32 years old. I first realised how bad my public anxiety was at University. It was almost impossible for me to give a presentation no matter how well prepared I was. This trend has continued well into my working years. It has also affected my participation in classes and in other working environments. I can genuinely say that this situation has left me feeling embarrassed and extremely frustrated many times.

It was only a few months ago that I came across this product and decided to give it a go. I have yet to give a presentation but it has helped me enormously in giving small presentations at seminars. All I can say is that it has been a life changer so far."


"I had Mirena inserted 3.5 months ago. Your healthcare provider will inform you that the first 3-6 months after insertion can be rough, but I want to warn everyone who is considering getting Mirena that this is NOT a joke. If you enjoy bleeding for 2-3 weeks out of every month, then Mirena is the birth control for you. Since the insertion, I have not had more than one consecutive week without any kind of spotting or bleeding. I also want to add that Mirena was recommended to me because of severe cramps that the Pill did not alleviate, but my cramps with Mirena are worse. I sometimes get dizzy/lightheaded from them as well. Apparently this is all considered "normal" in the first 6 months and I am nearing my breaking point."


"I'm 26 and had it inserted in Nov last year. The procedure was not painful but afterwards I had some cramping, but nothing I couldn't deal with. The first 6 weeks I had constant spotting and swelling. It got to a point where I had to go and get a sonar done, to find out whether it has moved (I went for a few jogs afterwards). Well it didn't move at all. My husband does not even realize that I have it in. But my weight has been my biggest issue. I gained weight and I have been exercising more and eating healthier and my weight does not decrease. Whether it is the Mirena or maybe something else, I cannot be sure. But it started after the Mirena was inserted. My mood swings are so much better and I just decided to even exercise harder."


"I first started taking 0.25 mg. It worked like a miracle pill. I was also having trouble sleeping. I tried everything antidepressant, Ambien, Lunesta, Restoril you name it I tried it . Now after 3 hrs on Xanax I use a 1 mg pill before bed and I sleep like a rock and very rarely do I have a attack during the next day. If I do I take 0.25 mg and in 15 min I'm fine. For me it took care of both sleeping and panic attacks!"


"The side effects are terrible, personality changes, weight gain, depression, joint pain. I had mine taken out after 2 years and 50 LBS later. It will take a long time to balance your hormones, get the weight off and repair your relationships with people. Did I also mention the fibroids? HUGE, size of navel oranges!  DON'T DO IT!!!"


"I was put on Yaz because I was having irregular menstrual cycles. I just finished my first pack. The entire month I have had nausea, vomiting, acne and horrible cramps. I think that I would rather have my period for 20  days each month rather than take this pill."


"Abreva is by far the biggest waste of money I've ever encountered. I don't have a constant cold sore issue, but I've had a total of 4 outbreaks throughout 27 years. I had two outbreaks as a kid, & my third outbreak was 4 months ago. I used abreva from the day it surfaced. It took 14 days total, & the sore resurfaced twice in that time frame. My 4th & most recent outbreak is happening now. I used abreva at the first signs of a sore, which brought on a full on sore in the matter of an hour. It is day two, I have switched to crushed aspirin & it's almost gone. Abreva doesn't even numb the area, & discolors your skin. DO NOT USE IT. Aspirin paste is a lifesaver! Aspirin and very little water, NO ABREVA!"


"Used for uveitis/glaucoma surgery. Good for very minor discomfort, but makes me tired. I seemingly have more relief with 400 mg, Motrin."


"I'v been taking Paxil for almost a year now for depression and anxiety.  I used to have panic attacks almost everyday.  After being on Paxil for a few months I stopped having any panic attacks.  The only problem I have is that I sleep too much and seem to have gained some weight.  If I forget to take my medication I start crying a lot.  Overall I feel normal while taking Paxil.  I still cry and feel sad sometime but not in excess."


"Male 59, in excellent health no prior problems. Started taking bupropion 3 weeks ago as adjunct to citalopram.  Seems to have improved my mood, but for the past 2 weeks I have not been able to achieve orgasm.  Erections are fine, just now cannot get to the happy ending.  I am stopping this medicine."


"Anything that can get me back on track while I deal with my very occasional anxiety issues.  Xanax helped me out a lot 4.5 years ago and I am in need of it again."


"Hi all! Over 15 years I am on Clonazepam. CVS doesnt give Klonopin they substitute it with generic Clonazepam. Is there any difference between Klonopin and Clonazepam?

I beg all to help me! I want to withdraw from this drug. I am unsuccessful on that.

All doctors say that you have to find interesting hobby, be in circle of friends, around family, be more in nature. I have done this all, but it does not work.

I have chemical addiction, drink high quality water, but it does not work too.

Again, I ask everyone for help!!!

Sarah"


"This medication does not work for me. I have fibromyalgia and my doctor just prescribed me 7.5/500s. I can take only up to 2 per day. I've already taken both, and its not even noon yet. And it didn't make a dent in my pain. Very disappointed."


"I was prescribed Invokana in combination with metformin.  I have been itching ever since and my hair is falling out to the point where I am scared to comb my hair.   I stopped taking both medications.  It has been a little over a month and my hair is still falling out.  Is anyone else experiencing any hair loss?"


"I have had the Mirena since October 2008, 8 weeks after giving birth to my son.  The insertion was not painful at all.  I did experience a lot of hair loss and over time, my sex drive diminished.  I had light bleeding afterwards, but have only had maybe 2 cycles since insertion that may have lasted 2 days each.  I'm getting ready to have my Mirena removed for 2 reasons. One to get back to normal because I have been very moody and depressed since I've had it.  Two, my husband and I plan on having another baby within the next two years.  I enjoy not having to keep up with taking pills (which all make me sick) and having to used condoms with my husband, but this just isn't for me.  After the next baby, I will be getting my tubes tied!"


"I suffer from major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and severe insomnia. I've been taking 15 mg of this plus 100 mg of Trazadone each night, to sleep, for almost 2 years. (on top of my depression meds, which we are still playing with).  The mirtazapine has been a life saver.  The trazadone helps, but without this drug I only slept an hour or two at a time.  with this, I generally sleep 6 hours before I wake up at all... and even then it's generally my bladder that wakes me.  I don't get any of the side effects people here keep talking about (drunk feeling, inability to wake up, numbness in the mouth, excessive sleep, etc)."


"I had pretty bad acne and tried many topical creams with very little relief. Solodyn really helped with my acne pretty quick. But what I noticed is that, if I missed a single daily dose, I would start to get really deep acne within 24 hours. It was frustrating because when I was getting low on a prescription, I had to make sure and go to my dermatologist immediately. It also dried my skin out quite a bit. My advice to anyone considering it; 1) make to be very consistent with when you take it, 2) start decreasing your dose as soon as you start seeing some improvement (break pills in half but still take daily, then 1/3 daily, etc.), 3) drink lots of water and use face lotion to hydrate your skin, because it really dries it out."


"Carafate worked miracles. I wasnt able to eat much while on it but it did stop the pain from my Ulcer.  I didn't realize it but it did make me constipated and I was really gassy which in turn caused pain but I would rather have gassy pain then the pain from the ulcer."


"Worked fine from day one. Stopped the urge for frequent trips to the bathroom. I have not had any symptoms of side effects such as swelling of feet or legs etc, Been taking daily 7.5mg. Only complaint is the very expensive cost."


"I love Vyvanse. It helps me concentrate and helps me in school to work faster and harder. When I get home I immediately start homework and then I just chill with the family until bedtime when I'm tired. I did have insomnia but that went away within about a week. Now I sleep like a baby again and it helped me finally start working out which I have been planning to do for almost 2 months now. Also, I went from struggling to get D's to easily making A's in all classes. I recommend this medicine."


"The bystolic did lower my b/p but I have had a 30 lb weight gain that has been deemed "metabolic syndrome" by my physician. He did a complete blood panel. My HDL is lower than it has been in 15 years, I have no thyroid problems. According to him the only thing it could be is the medication has slowed my heart rate 20 beats at resting. I walk  nearly 2 miles everyday up and down hill on the family farm I can barely get a 120 heart rate. My legs and butt look great my upper abdominal and thoracic area has increased by 10 inches. I had never  had fat in the thoracic area until I started this medication. Upon reading the hypoglycemic side effect and the warning about multiple severe allergy "anaphylaxis" treatment I don't know why my MD recommended it."


"This medication did not seem to work any better than others I have taken, but it has made me extremely drowsy. I was not feeling well when I started taking it, so it took me a full week to figure out the XYZAL was making me so tired. I do not recommend this drug if you are susceptible to drowsiness side effects. Since it is sold in a 24-hour pill, I'm stuck being sleepy for a long time until this pill is out of my system."


"POSITIVE REVIEW - I have been on the Nuvaring for 2 months – the only side effect has been increase of breast size, I am trying to persevere with it and do a lot of exercise so I don’t increase weight and hopefully maintain my breast size and I will take St John Worts if I feel a bit moody.

The Nuvaring is great – 3 weeks in, 1 week out for your period and then the next cycle begins. If your partner can feel the ring while intercourse you can take it out for maximum 3 hours and then insert straight after.

I know everyone is different but the Nuvaring is a low dosage of hormones and it is really working for me. So if you don’t want to worry every month if you are pregnant I recommend Nuvaring. It has been great for me."
