"I have been taking sertraline for  2 months it has  helped with some symptoms.  It has made me feel quite low at tmes
 I am now taking 200mg but I am not quite convinced it is the right meds for me."


"Synthroid by itself was not effective.  It is of great interest to me that so many other people have had the experience of being told by a physician that everything is fine while everything was, decidedly, NOT FINE!  (making long story short due to length restriction. Details need space.)  Large dosage of Synthroid ineffective, nurse practitioner certain nothing wrong, physician A dosage is ok but maybe a small bump, small effect for short period then return to prebump effect, concerned that observation due to psychological rather than physiological waited, physician B does further workup, physician B sees most of Syntroid dosage going to reverse T3 (physiologically ineffective) adds Cytomel, the improvement was immediate; not psych."


"Had trouble with  sex, dryness, reduced libido, etc., this cream really helped!"


"Fought these suckers for a year on and off with my kids. I tried vinegar and salt, coca cola, olive oil, dollar store brand, rid and an expensive moose..kept coming back so I got so aggrevated and took them to doc he prescribed sklice and DONE..BOOM..NOTTA BUG ANYWHERE..finally peace..thank you sklice..one and done"


"When I got off birth control years ago (Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo), although I loved the light periods and perfect skin, I didn't like the synthetic hormones idea and swore I'd never take birth control again. Skip ahead a few years with very irregular periods and extremely painful and heavy flows and spotting lasting weeks, my OBGYN strongly encouraged trying it again. Within a day of taking Trinessa Lo the bleeding stopped. I was so hesistant from the reviews but I have not experienced ANY side effects except for low sex drive."


"An 80 mg oxycodone ER tablet should be reserved for those who have chronic, long-lasting pain that requires around the clock pain management. This dosage should ONLY be taken by those who have been taking narcotic pain medications for a long period of time and who are what medical professionals call Opiate Tolerant.  This really helps take the edge of my pain."


"I just started taking Invokana exactly 2 weeks ago, I have lost 4 lbs so far (great).  My fasting sugars went from 274 down to 206 (nice improvement so far).  I still need to get them under 100 though and I feel the longer I take this medication - the more improvement I will see.  The only side effect so far is the frequent urination which is caused by the dehydration. This makes me drink more water of course - but since that is the only issue I have I really can't complain. I personally think this new medication is a "winner"."


"I guess I'm one of the lucky 4 out of 5 people that respond to the Sinclair Method (TSM) of Alcohol use disorder (AUD treatment) Completely cured of any and all cravings for alcohol within 6 months."


"Salt water  mouthwash swished around your mouth helps take the metallic manure taste away"


"I had to discontinue using this drug after 3 months because it gave me joint pain."


"I haven't experienced too much of the side effects like weight gain, nausea, or anything. But I noticed that my eyes are really dry all the time when I started taking these and I don't know if its related for certain, but I've had contacts for two years and this is the first time I've had this issue. I've had to switch to glasses as of late. Also, my depression has exponentially worsened. It feels like it hasn't, but I never cried much and have cried almost every day since I've taken these. I'm going through real things, but I used to handle them better. But I guess these symptoms are better than pregnancy, and I haven't gotten pregnant."


"It has been a month since I have been taking Seasonique. So far, the only thing I noticed is increase in appetite, waking up earlier, not sleeping sound enough, feel bloated all the time, and the bleeding is just ridiculous. I have been spotting/bleeding since the first day.

But,

I am not going to give up, I want to see what happens and if its good. I just can't quit smoking and that worries me.

Good luck !"


"100mg, 1st time, throat became extremely

Y dry to the point that I could not contact my tonge to the roof of my throate to aid in  swollowing. After several hours, bad symptoms subsided. Bad bad med"


"I was prescribed clindamycin 8 days ago as a result of an extraction of two roots in a molar. The other root remained so the dentist can do a root canal to keep the tooth for a bridge. I developed a bad infection. My face became swollen, red and inflamed. I was taking clindamycin 3x a day 500 mg. Almost all better except for jaw spasms. The only problem I had was last night. I took the pill with a sip of water and went to sleep. Bad mistake. I didn't know you should not lay down for 30 minutes and to drink 8 oz with it each time taken. I woke up with the worst heartburn ever in my life. Antacids didn't work at all. Had to take pepto bismol. It helped. It still hurts when I swallow but better. Warning: sit up for 30 min & drink h20"


"I'm currently taking this for toe nail fungus, bare in mind my case is relatively minor compared to many I've seen. I had hoped to see some kind of results after a month because mine is just a small area on both big toes only,  and read it may take a couple months to see a noticeable difference in major cases. It's been 2 months and NOTHING has improved and the small spot area's haven't budged.  Not one tiny bit at all! I have SLE to which makes it riskier to take. I've got one more month left and seriously doubting it will clear me up by then. Luckily I've had no side affects that other's are claiming, just makes my lupus cause more feverish spells."


"Severe Tinnitus both ears, rings 24/7 and only Xanax seems to help, it does not eliminate the tinnitus but for some reason it calms it down so it's not as loud and makes it bearable it is the only drug that has helped me. My Tinnitus is so loud it  causes headaches, ear pain and insomnia due to the severity of the tone I hear."


"I have Bipolar disorder. I just started 10mg of Prozac 3 weeks ago and I love it. I needed an antidepressant to work with the Lithium I was taking. And I feel terrific. So far I haven't gained any weight. I gained 30 lbs because my thyroid stopped working and 20 of it has come off and I've lowered the lithium and I attribute this to the Prozac. I have Wellbutrin as a stand by if the weight starts coming on but I really don't want to change. I am in control and for someone with bipolar that's a hard place to get to. "


"Best painkiller available. Fewest side-effects, subtle onset (no perceived "rush"), least mental or physical impairment, easiest of any opioid/opiate for titration and reduction once painful condition improves. The newer "crush-resistant" formula gives me a headache and stomach pain, and is often passed completely intact in stool."


"Started diovan 160 mg today, after being on Norvasc 5mg for awhile,  diovan dropped my blood  pressure from 177/93 to 128/71. But while on diovan I literally  felt like crap.  I was  weak, had shortness of breath, my legs hurt  when walking dogs. Just felt terrible.  Will call dr tomorrow and let him know."


"Getting double the dosage and NO side effects AT ALL.
Very effective on cancer. Having very good quality of life. I get it once every other week. Hope it keeps me alive until they find a cure. "


"I am taking it for my sinus infection. I am feeling better as far as my sinuses go. But I have had diarrhea 5 times today."


"I started taking spironolactone 3 weeks ago (50 mg 2/day, so 100 mg dose) and my acne is the worst it has EVER been. I get cystic acne on my chin but the rest of my face is usually okay. As of last week I broke out in SO many cystic pimples on my chin, along my jawline, on my cheeks, even some by my nose. My acne hasn't been this bad in a while. From everything I've read about this medicine, it seems I am in the initial breakout period that only some people experience. This is very difficult to deal with but I am going to wait it out for at least 6 months. Also, my period is always irregular, sometimes I don't get it for 9 months. But since taking this medicine I have already had my period twice. "


"I got Ocella solely for the reason that I don't want to get pregnant and I got it for free with my insurance. With starting my first pack, I was nauseous the first three days or so but not so bad I guess. Now I'm on my last week of my second pack, about to be on my third pack and my acne has gotten a lot worse unfortunately. I'm going to wait a couple of months to see if that changes though because other than that I love it."


"My mum started taking this and 2 week later she died of heart and kidney failure. She was 77 and  should not have been given these tablets at her age . Take care"


"I have had migraines since my late teens. I used to take Fiornal, but discovered Imitrex which has been a life saver. I get migraines with aura, followed by pain. I use the nasal Imitrex and I find that if I take Imitrex at the onset of my vision loss, I am usually able to stop the vision problem as well as stop the migraine within 30 minutes. This medication has been a lifesaver for me. The only side effect with the nasal spray for me is that it tastes HORRIBLE in the back of my throat and it makes me a bit sickly feeling, but all in all, I'd rather have it than not."

"Excellent medication, only thing to work after twenty years of sleeplessness and trying everything.  Takes a few weeks to get used to it, the grogginess etc lift with time.  Use the weight gain as an excuse to exercise more, make it a win win situation.  I take 7.5mgs and take it two to three hours before bedtime, this way I wake up more refreshed, and some evenings I go without it just to give myself a break."


"I've been on this medicine for about 6-9 months and its a wonderful drug. No more paranoid thoughts or delusions. I'm on the max dose which is 20 mg. It made me sleep for 12-14 hours a night at first but not anymore."


"I took Alli for 2 months when it first came out last year.  I didn't experience any effects because I stuck to the diet. Reading what could happen if I went over my fat grams scared me. I stuck to it and went from a size 18 to 14. I stopped taking Alli and during the winter gained some weight back.  I recently decided I was going to go back on it."


"AWFUL MEDICATION. I was on Xifaxan for a week and a half when it started giving me crippling stomach cramps every time I ate. The cramps have persisted three weeks beyond stopping the medication and I can only eat plain rice/pasta and peas. It also didn't do what it was prescribed to do and I still have symptoms of IBS. All it did was give me a side effect that makes me not able to eat."


"I first started taking this in 2012 and at first all it did was make me incredibly tired but then it also made my moods more up n down and caused me to have psychotic episodes. i abruptly stopped taking it at that point (stupid i know....i shouldve tapered off) and from doing so i had extreme psychotic episodes.

Ever since taking it all those years ago, ive had numerous psychotic episodes. My dr thinks it was the sertraline that reacted badly with my brain, leaving me now prone to having psychotic eps.

I tried different dosages too, starting from the smallest dosage. I would never recommend it to anyone after what i experienced with it but then again everyone is different. All i know is that Sertraline made me worse mentally."


"Its Amazing"


"I have been on Effexor XR for about 3 months now (75mg), and it's done a great job of controlling my anxiety. For the first couple of days, my anxiety skyrocketed, but I supplemented with Ativan to help with that. then on the third day, I woke up and felt totally normal. It does make me a bit tired, but I also sleep better - and I do have very vivid dreams at times (not scary, just vivid). Also makes me a bit apathetic, but it's better than living in a constant state of anxiety.  I'd had bad reactions to Lexapro and Zoloft, so I was happy to find something that worked. I hope to come off someday, but for now, it's giving me what I need."


"The doctor decided to put me on Seroquel XR instead of Risperdal.  Today I took it then felt the calming effects of it then I was conscious of it kicking in and I started sweating.  The sweating stopped but all of a sudden I feel the same as I did before.  Is this normal?  I'm also still feeling impulsive and have trouble communicating with people."


"I had skyla placed Dec of 2014. The placement wasn't too painful but the cramping afterward was pretty rough. I had spotting on and off for 2 months which is normal. Then the bleeding stopped all together and I had no period or anything. However, One morning I experienced severe lower abdominal pain and went to the ER. Turns out I had two cyst, and one had burst (never had a history of cysts before the IUD) and also had an ectopic (or tubal) pregnancy. I had to have the IUD removed immediately and ended up having laparoscopic surgery. Needless to say, getting Skyla was definitely not the right choice for me..."


"My PM MD gave me samples after being constantly constipated for 2 years. Post L5-S1 disc replacement - 50mcg/hr q72h of Fentanyl and 10mg Oxycodone 6x day. The 1st time you take Movantik make sure you take it on a day off from work! I took it on a weekend, first thing in AM as the instructions say (1h before your 1st meal) and had a BM approx 4hrs later. I strongly suggest taking a stool softener - the BM was so wide from sitting in my intestines that I cut myself while going and bled (awful feeling). I tried taking every other day but gave me nausea the day of taking it and usually the day after, very painful cramping before during and after taking the pill and having a BM, and dec appetite. Will try Relistor inj next."


"I take 30mg at bedtime, and after only 3 days, I was able to sleep through the night (without having to pee).

I couldn't be happier with the results. 80% improvement in my Interstitial Cystitis. "


"Not worth it! There are other methods to clear up the infection. Try an antibiotic first. I have had to be on antibiotics for years now to keep the cystic acne manageable. I tried accutane and I regret taking it for the six days that I did. May have issues forever. Now I'm back on a normal antibiotic with zero side effects. Also, I started using a home made scrub my sister in law made me. :) hope this helps."


"I started this at age 47 for severely painful periods (suspected endometriosis) that had been escalating for about two years.  I love this medication so far, no period for 75 days, no pain, wonderful.  I did notice some gastrointestinal symptoms/constipation, weight gain and night sweats, all never really had before. The constipation was actually good for me as I think my hormones were actually causing diarrhea issues. The weight gain is due to appetite increase but am back on bandwagon and exercising.

Bottom line I feel great and my outlook is happy, so not experiencing the blues others have mentioned.

Highly recommend for abdominal pain associated with menstrual problems
"


"I have suffered on and off with health anxiety since having my kids and it really got a hold of me a while back. I was constantly crying and having panic attacks. I truly thought I was dying and was obsessed with checking my body and spent a lot of time at the doctors. My gp prescribed this medication 50mg and it has saved my sanity. The first few weeks were not good and I felt even worse. But by week 4 the anxiety lifted and i could rationalise things. If I hadn't of taken this my life would of spiralled into a scary deep black hole. X"


"I started on this pill on June 12 2015 my weight was 213 I'm 5"7 well as of today I am 195 so about 18 pounds in two weeks..... I'm super happy.... but scared I will hit a wall... I am a gardener.... and always in the garden.... I am never hungry! I have to force myself to eat.... it will make me feel dizzy standing up to fast... and then I know I have to eat something... it's got to the point where almost every other day I eat only an apple.... and on the other days I eat 2 eggs with spinach in the morning..... my mouth is always dry! I have to stay hydrated working in my garden, or I will pass smooth out! But I highly recommend this diet pill!"


"I got my implant in August of 2015 and I think I have had just about every side effect there is. I've had constant spotting, one of my periods lasted for just over 3 weeks. I've had what I like to call ghost periods where I don't bleed but I have crippling cramps, pms, headaches and fatigue. I've also experienced insomnia, loss of appetite, migraines, mood swings, and in the last year I have had 4 yeast infections and once when I had a bacterial infection and yeast infection and the same time.. my doctor was very confused as to how that happened... maybe my body is just not meshing well with this implant, but just about every side effect that can occur with this implant I have had. I've tried it for a year and I'm done with it."


"An update from last post: Been taking for one month and lost 20 lbs with no side effects. It's difficult to articulate just how Contrave is helping because it is definitely not an appetite suppressant, but it does make it easy to eat less and make good choices. Not only am I losing weight and running 5 miles a day now, but I also was able to cut out all alcohol and caffeine without really trying. Very positive progress!"


"I have severe anxiety and I would get anxiety attacks everyday. My doctor first put me on Fluoxetine on the highest dosage. After a couple of months my body got use to the medication and it was helping a lot with the anxiety. But I continued still getting the anxiety attacks just not everyday. So then he put me on bupropion 300mg with the fluoxetine and after awhile my panic attacks slowly went away. Now it has been over a year since I have been on the bupropion and my dosage is reduced to 150mg and my fluoxetine dosage is lowered to 20mg. I am happy to say that I have not had a panic attack for 2 years now. This bupropion is a really good medication and I find with using the combination of the fluoxetine it has helped me amazingly. "


"Flu came out of nowhere on a Saturday. Chills and headache were the worst but also had cough, earache, body aches. Temp was 102. Spent the weekend in bed, not sure I would survive. Went to DR. on Monday and tested positive for flu. Started Tamiflu and a Z-pak. By Tuesday I was feeling much better. Expensive but I do not regret the cost because it worked and I only had to pay copay.  Many years since I had the flu and was much worse than I could imagine. Would pay whole $80 if needed."


"Works excellent. Went on. Whale watch with family. Took it 1 hour before boat trip and it worked awesome. I Even was able to have food on the boat with no nausea."


"I have been on Portia for two years.  I would say overall not a bad birth control.  When I originally switched to Portia it was much better than the pills I took before. I no longer got nausea after taking it like with my old pills and it cut down my period. Right now I can say a bad period is three days long which isn't bad at all or it just doesn't show up which is nice. I have gained no weight from it.  My only complaint is since I started it I've noticed I've gone from wanting sex to having almost no interest in it and I have become dry.  My mood has been getting worse each month so I think it's time to switch to a different method."


"I'm 18 years old and this is my first birth control pill. I'm taking it for a number of reasons, mainly that my period has been irregular for years, my acne is terrible and I'm just trying to be safe and smart. I really like this pill! It's been extremely unobtrusive to my life. Originally I had trouble remembering to take the pill on time but now I have an alarm on my phone and it's helping. As far as side effects, I've only had a little tenderness in my breasts and a slight increase in my appetite, but this may just be from stress. I've just now finished my first pack and I'm extremely happy with it. I haven't noticed any change in my acne, but I hope it will help soon. Overall, highly recommended!"


"I am taking contrave for 3 months have not lost anything. I am paying the $300 a bottle for nothing, because my medical insurance won't cover it, the only thing I noticed  is my nerves are over whelming , I am so angry more then usually, my question is  I am taking zoloft as well - is this changing the effects of the contrave ,if so why didn't any one say something. Like my doctor. At times I feel like ripping someones head off"


"Recently came across extazolam after many years of sleeping problems.  It works like a charm.  1 mg allows me to fall asleep quickly and sleep a full 8 hours.  2 mg was too much and caused sleepiness and grogginess well into the next day. 1 mg is perfect, wake up feeling great and refreshed."


"I  was so scared to go on this pill or any pill for that matter! Read terrible reviews. Did so much research and they all seemed like a bad choice. Decided this seemed like the best bet. Been on it 17 days and I love it. No weight gain, no acne, no hormonal mood swings. My only complaint is I am on day 8 of my period, (when I wasnt on the pill my period was 8 days long too) I thought this would make it shorter. I am hoping today is the last day, if it continues for longer, I will update my review. But so far,so good! I actually lost some weight taking this pill! Happy girl here."


"I have Stage 4 colorectal cancer with mets to liver. After 2 years of chemo it wasn't really working any more so they started me on Erbitux. Side effects are mostly cosmetic - severe acne rash/redness on face and milder spotting on chest and back, extremely dry flaky skin. I did have a badly infected foot for a few weeks - eventually found right antibiotic (cephalexin). However CT scan after 8 weeks use showed 20 - 30% reduction in tumors! So for me it is worth the skin hassles."


"I was in Italy and suddenly got mind blowing painful infection around an out-coming wisdoms-tooth. Doctors gave me 600mg of Ibuprofen, which did virtually nothing for me, but one serving of OKi 80mg (50mg Ketoprofen) almost relieved it completely!(98%).. amazing! Truely great product!!!"


"Finally0 found a medication with little side effects"


"This pill has been great! My husband and I married 9 yrs ago and i started taking it just before our wedding. When I've wanted to get pregnant I've stopped it.....pretty well immediately gotten pregnant and then when the baby is about 6 months old (I breastfeed and it's not recommended while breastfeeding) I get back on it. Had 3 kiddos so all in all I've been on this pill for at least 5 years. Only cons I've experienced are a bit of weight gain/harder to lose weight on it. I'm not talking a huge amount but 5-15 lbs. And it's really expensive for me to buy the brand name local so I just get my ob to give me a written prescription and I fax it to an online pharmacy and get it there. Aside from that it's great"


"I know there are many with bad experiences, but everyone's body is different. This is the first time I have ever taken birth control "pill form" and I have had no issues. My weight has stayed about the same, I have my period for a few days and it is light, and I have no breakouts. The only thing I get is my breasts get tender, but other than that, I have had a wonderful experience with this pill."


"On July 30th at about 2:00am I had unprotected sex with someone I had been texting and talking on the phone to for a few weeks (stupid, I know but we all are human). At about 9:15 am on July 30th, I went up to CVS with full intentions to purchase Plan B One Step (and to use my $10 off coupon), but when I got there they were sold out and Aftera was the only option available. Like most, I too was skeptical because I had never heard of that brand and did not know anyone who had taken it before. Due to the circumstances, I bought it and took the pill immediately. Symptoms included mild headache, cramping, and tiredness. On August 4th, I began to bleed. Thank the lord"


"I took one at 2:30 in the afternoon, in the middle of the night I was awakened by heart palpitations and spent hours in the ER. I had a CAT scan of the heart, EKG, echocardiogram and XRAY. I thought I was going to having a heart attack or stroke.

"


"Well, I can't say that it was easy. The thing that bothered me most was lack of sleep. Being tired all the time didn't help either. I have 1 pill left and glad it is over. I am 63 years old and retired 5 years ago because of hep c. At week 4 it was undetectable. Had to take it for 12 weeks. I am a Vietnam era vet so that is probably where I caught it. If I am truly cured then the first thing I am going to do is go back to work. Retirement is very boring and now that I have all of this energy I am sure that I would go nuts. Some people had no side effects, as you can see I was not among the lucky ones. It was worth the torment to be free of Hep C."


"I have had three Lucentis treatments at 3 to 4 week intervals and my eyesight has improved significantly. I have a slight discomfort for a couple of days after a treatment. My Doctor is also pleased with my results."


"I started on the patch because of menopause (at age 36, no medical reason i.e. surgery). I used the patch for about 6 weeks and had to stop because of a rash at the application site. This was no surprise because band-aids give me rashes too. I had no problem with 0.5 but when moved up to 0.75 I started with the rash."


"I have been on the nuvaring since I was 16; I'm 25 now. It really is the best thing I have tried. The only side effects I have experienced are breast tenderness, being really dry or really wet at times and possible uti's. Although I'm still unsure of that because I have gotten uti's for as long as I could remember. I got off it recently because my doctor prescribed me a pill with less hormones but I felt the difference right away. I didn't feel myself at all. I'm giving my body a break for a month or two and will probably go back on the ring."


"I've been using Lunesta for almost a week now and it's wonderful!  It puts me to sleep relatively quickly (20 minutes as opposed to the several hours it usually takes).  It keeps me asleep 8 hours, sometimes longer if I don't have to work in the morning.  There is a bit of a "nasty" taste in the mouth in the morning but it isn't that bad and goes away after breakfast and teeth brushing.  Also the first few days I was a little drowsy still after waking up probably because the medicine was still in effect and my body wasn't used to so much sleep at once.  Now I wake up energized and I would definitely recommend this medicine to others!  A little pricey though."


"Just started to take Savella and have had issues with sleeping and stomach.  Can't find a site that shows the potential side effects, only generic side effects seem to be mentioned and I would like more detailed information."


"Works like a charm. Made a mistake during peak fertile time, took ella 36 hours later. No cramping, mild nausea. Period started a week early. I weigh 220lbs so Plan B would not be an option. Recommended"


"I am an 82 year old, non-diabetic.  I have been taking Gabapentin (and other drugs) for peripheral neuropathy since September 1997 - 30 YEARS..  I am now addicted to it, thanks in most part to the VA's "Healthcare System".  I've been taking 900 mgs three times a day which frequently does little to no good.   Several times a week, I am awake for more than 36 hours straight because of the severe shooting pain; and now have uncontrollable seizures in my right leg and numbness in both feet and ankles.  The VA doctor wants MY permission to increase the dosage to the maximum of 1200 mgs three times a day.  No Thanks!"


"I've been taking microgestin for about a year and a half now, and it just recently occurred to me that the pill is the reason for my mental decline. When I first started the pill things were fine I didn't have any abnormal side effects except for the slight, almost unnoticeable weight gain. Looking back, I've noticed a gradual yet severe change in my mood and happiness. It wasn't until a year and a half later I realized the pill was the reason for this. I sobbed to my mom one night and she explained that the pill did that to her too. After speaking with my gyno the next day, she assured me the progestin in Microgestin was the reason for my depression. I switched to Aviane and feel much much better."


"I have been on Zoloft for about two months the lowest dose and have had wonderful help on it with therapy! I had severe panic attacks daily , depression and I had withdrawn from life and fun! I am improving daily and see the light again but I believe you have to do your part with therapy and find the triggers to the anxiety to truly heal but this medicine has helped me get out of the dark place !!!"


Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone

"I had been taking Estratest HS in combination with Premarin.3 for the last 12 years and loved, loved, loved it.  No side effects.  Made me feel stronger and helped keep my body in shape.  Since they no longer make it, I have been having trouble adapting to new hormones and wish I could find some kind of testosterone substitute. "


"I've been on depo since I was 15 years old . . I am now 33 years old . . I first got on depo because I had really bad cyst on my ovaries and breast . . With depo it has controlled the pain and size of cyst . . I've gained maybe 5 pounds since I've been in this . . No bleeding no spotting what so ever !!! I do get lower cramping once in awhile but it is tolerable . . I also do not plan on having kiddos so this was the best choice for me :)"


"Tried all other methods for relief of psoriasis, 80% of body.
Have been on methotrexate for 5.5 weeks, belly, back, chest and forearms are all clear, very mild psoriasis that isn't red or irritated on upper arms and lower legs.
My confidence and self esteem has increased heaps, excited to go for a swim 2nd time since I've had psoriasis (7 years). Only had bad fatigue for first few weeks, haven't drank any alcohol, healthy diet with minimal junk food, and nausea if I eat something really, fatty eg. pizza.
Skin colour isn't yellowing nor getting black under the eyes, or anything else relating to bad liver.
Would definitely recommend this medication. "


Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"After mva in my teenage yrs. began with migrane headaches. Second mva in my early twenties continued with migranes till prescribed this life saving drug in my forties."


"I have tried many other anxiety medications. This took about 4 weeks to work but is great. I'm 34 years old and have had anxiety since I was a teenager. This is the best I have felt in my adult life. Also taking Prozac once daily. Great combination."


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


"Ever since I was taken ill with mono and strep which occurred at the same time, I have suffered terrible anxiety, OCD with my throat, and some other strange changes.  I had been through Zoloft, Prozac, and Paxil until I was given chlorazepate.  Chlorazepate was the only one that even worked in the slightest.  I told my doctor I could tell it was working but felt that there might be something better,  That's where Klonopin comes in.  It helps control my anxiety and OCD to a manageable level.  Sometimes I'll just break them in half and take 0.5mg in a day, other days sometimes ill need to take 2-3. Basically it has changed my life for the better and I'm glad to have finally found a medicine that works."


"I started at 20mg of Lexapro for my severe depression.  After seeing minimal improvement, I was bumped up to 40mg.  I noticed improvement at 40mg but not enough. Fortunately my doctor was willing to prescribe an off label 60mg dose.  He told me he has several patients who require doses of 60mg or 80mg of Lexapro.  The 60mg dose has produced pretty good results in me.  (I am 30 lbs overweight and get very little exercise, which may explain why I needed the larger dose).  Reading "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns also helped reduce my depression."


"I decided to get the shot a month ago. So far I have not had a period at all...which is almost scary but who wants their period anyway? No weight gain as of yet and no hair loss. I almost backed out of getting the shot once I heard a few horror stories. The only thing I have noticed is a little moodiness, which happens to me on the pill too, so nothing new. Not sure about getting the second shot yet...we will see how the next couple months go and if any other symptoms take place, but so far, it has been great :)"


"Few years ago started with Trulicity, then insurance made me switch to Tanzeum and now had to switch to Bydureon. Couple of issues. The corkscrew on my second box. When I twist the green I hear the click and the medicine window only has part of the liquid the base has pushed out some of the medicine into the cap. I take off the needle cap and there is liquid in the cap, at 125 a pen. So, either I have a bad box of 4 or there is defect on these, did not happen on box 1 but on box 2 the first 2 pens had this. First and second day side effects for me are horrendous, nausea and just feel awful. Never had these issues with prep or side effects with either Trulicity or Tanzeum. But its all up to insurance companies at the end, they decide what is best for you."


"I used to smoke 2-3 packs a day, I'd have a 15 minute break at work and smoke 3-4 cigarettes in 15 minutes, 10-15 in half an hour, I decided to start champix after my dad passed away due to cancer (unrelated), day 1 of champix I was smoking 46 cigarettes a day, day 2 was similar, day 3 I suddenly didn't want to smoke as much and dropped to 11, day 4 I had 9, day 5 I had 3 and day 7 I had to force myself to smoke 1, day 8 was my first day of being smoke free and it felt like the easiest thing I've ever done in my life thanks to champix, I continued the medication for 2 more months and then quit taking the medication as I did not feel like I needed it anymore, I have now been smoke free for 2 years, because of champix it was the easiest thing"


"OxyContin  seems to work really well for pain. But there is that is a  few cons about this medicine for me is that my body would get used to to it and I would need to up the dose. I went from 10mg (2x a day) all the way up to 30  mg (2x a day) It has always only lasted tops 7 hours instead of the advertised 12. It without question has never lasted 12 hours. When I started taking this medicine by the 7 hour my legs would really be on fire again like clock work. So 2 pills would last 14 hours instead of 24 like the manufacturer says. So if you take this medicine make sure you get some breakthrough medicine. Make sure you take Exlax with this medicine. You will be constipated."


"As an avid runner, I suffered a painful IT band (iliotibial band) strain on the outside of my left knee.  Went to the doctor after a week of pain and not much healing taking place to make sure I didn't suffer any major ligament damage.  He diagnosed the IT band issue and gave some samples of Flector Patch and as more of a comic relief, stated that "these really shouldn't work, but actually do".  Was a little skeptical at first, but these patches do provide wonderful relief.  Four patches later I am feeling much improvement in the mobility of my knee strain.  Definitely worth a try."


"it helped somewhat for my antidepressant to work"


"This has been the only medication that decreased my daughters aggression. She is a changed person, better able to focus and learn. She is also able to sleep at night. I do have to monitor her blood every few months. Her prolactin level is so high now she lactates. Always thirsty and hungry. Over heats easily and has dystonic reaction of eyes rolling back. The benefits still outweigh the risks at this point."


"I'm 39 years old height is 5 "4"  and I have been on Adipex for a month now and this medicine works. Before I weighed 19lbs and now I'm down to 181lbs. I haven't started going to the gym yet. I just watch what I eat. I take half of the tablet everyday around 10:30am. Yes I experience dry mouth but that helps in drinking lots of water. I had jitters the first week and that is gone now. It didn't bother me at all because I have a set goal. I just joined the gym and will be starting next week. I will update you after a week in the gym...Good Luck to all."


"Started taking Camrese to combat PMS-related anxiety, and it totally leveled me out. Now I take it for contraceptive purposes and it has worked great. I gained 20 lbs the first time on it, went off, lost some of the weight, went back on it, and haven't gained since. No spotting after the first pack, once my body was regulated. The dose of constant hormones really helped me feel in control and normal again."


"I've suffered from severe panic disorder since I was 10.  I am 45 now. I was on 200mg of Zoloft for 18 years. It took away my anxiety, but also took away any motivation. I was a zombie for all of those years and slept all the time. My new Dr. suggested switching to Effexor. I was afraid that it wouldn't work and my panic would come back. I was so wrong. After a week on 37.5 mg, my energy was back and anxiety still gone. I'm on 75mg. I can't believe I stayed on Zoloft so long! I can think and do things again! I don't sleep all the time. Everyone reacts differently. If this med doesn't work for you, I'm sure there is one that will. Wish I would've switched sooner. No side effects at all!"


"I started Victoza 3 months ago but I stopped because I feel my blood sugar is going low and one day it went up to 2.9 so my doctor told me to stop using it."


"My doctor put me on this birth control 6 weeks after I had my son. I told him my periods are really heavy an the cramping (no lie) felt like I was having really bad contractions. My appointment was on a Monday so he told me to take Sunday and Monday together, and I was already on my period for 3 days so my check up was a little awkward. He told me it would help with my cramps and lighten/shorten my period. Well, the next day my period was just about gone and I had no cramping whatsoever."


"Not a fan of this pill.  Throughout my teenage years and twenties, I took either Ortho Tri-Cyclen or Yasmin.  After the birth of my second son, my doctor switched me to Microgestin as I was searching for a lower dose option.  Over the past several months on this pill, I have begun to experience acne, breakthrough bleeding, mood swings, and, just recently, intense cramping and lower back pain.  The pain was so out of place that I requested an ultrasound and was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.  While I certainly don't believe that Microgestin caused me to develop PCOS, I do believe that it has done a very poor job in controlling the symptoms and has left me with multiple, undesirable side effects.  I will be going back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen."


"The pill normally works but you have to know the second time that you take it you will have a lot more side effects. I just took it the second time a week ago and I'm still feeling sick from it and I've had bleeding for about a week now. I do believe it worked because how much I've bleed. But the side effects are really bad!"


"Definitely does it's job. I've been on it for a  little over one year and there haven't been any complications, it's my only form of birth control (my fiance is the only man I sleep with) so it's been doing all the heavy lifting. I like it a lot because I don't have to remember to take a pill every day at seven  however there are some issues with my period. The longest period I had lasted one month however I haven't had it since, and it has been about three months. Make sure to keep track of your period. So it really sucks to have a month long period but to not have it for three, going on four months, has been super awesome!!"


"This medicine saved my life. I lost 35 pounds and it was the easiest and fastest way I ever lost weight in my whole life. My friends and family were amazed and everyone would always tell me how absolutely amazing I look, and I feel like a new person. I have never been happier."


"Been on Bydureon for nearly 4 months.  Blood Sugars dropped from 10 to 6, lost 50 lbs on the drug.  It was a rough start at first getting use to the side effects, but I am happy to say the drug is working wonders for me."


"Began taking 20mg Latuda daily about ten days ago. About five days ago I noticed that I'm a lot less anxious - a lot less "catastrophising" - think more clearly, most definitely happier. My appetite is back as well. Suffering far less psychomotor retardation. Actually feel motivated to do some things! Genuine laughter! Also taking Aplenzin 522mg daily. Best I've felt in recent memory. It's my experience only. "


"I have been stressed for many months. My nutrition and water intake has changed And my stomach has been uncomfortable for over a week. I chilled my 10oz bottle for 30 minutes and had dinner. Drank it around 7.30 and thought I was ready by 8. False alarm, but by 9.45, it began to work. Draw back is, almost a day later, I'm being cleansed. I used the lemon flavor. To make the taste more bearable, chill it and use a mint after. Make sure to drink 8oz of water as the instructions state."


"I have been on the Ortho Evra patch for just over a month now.  When I first applied the patch, I had a very small amount of nausea, nothing worth complaining about though.  When it came time for my off week, I have never had a better period. I had a very small amount of cramping for a few hours, and that was it.  There are only 2 things I could complain about: 1) the hormones from the patch made my breasts extremely sore and sensitive, which made it hard to be active or even give hugs.  2) The patch would never stay in place.  I'm a very active person, and the patch kept sliding around during exercise and regular day-to-day stuff.  This was easily solved by figuring out which recommended area moves the LEAST.  Overall great experience."


"Two years ago my Mom used 5mg of Aricept for one month, she became almost a total zombie taking this medicine. Would not get out of bed, her mind was a lot worse than before she started taking it. A month ago she was put on 10mg of Aricept and after two doses was taken to the hospital, she was totally out of control and knew nothing of what was going on.  It is not for everyone."


"I have been taking Gabapentin for constant headaches for 9 years. It took 6 months for the drug to begin working as it is a therapeutic treatment. This has changed my life for the better. I had such severe headaches that I struggled with everyday life and my education took a hit (from A's to E's!!), but now I have a BSc degree, a post grad diploma and I'm working on my Masters. I broke and dislocated my finger 2 weeks ago after falling from my large mare at a gallop and smashing into a fence. I do not need to take any other pain killers as the Gabapentin reduces the pain enough to carry on as normal. I do still have some discomfort, but I can live with it and it is better than being in an opiate induced stupor. I'm from UK."


"I suffered from pretty bad acne. Everyday I would wake up with lots of whiteheads even some blackheads too, my acne was also very red, over my nose, chin, cheek and forehead area. I took Yaz for three months and it does wonders to your skin, I no longer suffer with waking up with lots of whiteheads or blackheads and I have seen a change in my skin. I will continue to take Yaz to keep improving my skin!"


"I am now trying to get off this medicine. I have been taking it for 2 yrs. At times I have fast heartbeat and feel nervous and at times have joint pains. "


"This is my 2nd Implanon, the 1st one I had took a few months for my body to settle had a bit of spotting 5 months then periods completely stopped. I have had acne and blackheads. I have bloating in my stomach. Weight has been stable though."


"This seems to work for me, at least the nerve pain in my legs, it controls the racing, shooting pains but does not help the muscle pain or spasms at all. at least when I take it i can sit down without shaking or moving my legs. Every little bit helps."


"Took Abilify for 4 days.  Had nausea for those 4 days and several days after I stopped taking it.  I also have a twitch in my lower lip that is still there 7 months later."


"Hi everyone. I am on day 10 and I am feeling very frustrated and feel that I am failing at giving up the smokes. Yes I am starting to feel a bit nauseous, heart palpitations, dry mouth & tired. Yes I have slowed down on the smokes but I feel that it won't be a quick fix! Why can't I be like everyone else and just not smoke?"


"I was given epiduo from my doctor to help with my acne. Now for the acne side of things the product really does work and i could see a difference within a few days of using the product......HOWEVER....after 2-3 days i have nothing but persistent dryness, swelling of the eyes and a stinging sensation. I could cry with the stinging as it is so uncomfortable that I have to bathe my eyes with cold water just to try and take the pain away. I have gone for weeks without using it to go back as it may have been something else that had been causing it. I couldn't have been more wrong. I would rather suffer with acne than use this product or recommend it to anyone."


"Was first freaked out because I had no period, now I'm thrilled. I had normal periods for about four months, now nothing. No crazy side effects, no weight gain (that I didn't do to myself). Slight headaches occasionally, irritable occasionally too. But nothing dramatic. So stoked to not be pregnant, and not have a period."


"tired feeling, abdominal pain, tingling in hands and feet, 4 tablets a day."


"AAA ointment. it like... gives you wolverine speed healing. I work in the food service industry (red lobster yay) and
I get a lot of cuts when I work dish but all I need is to put a on little Neosporin covered with a bandaid overnight and the next day it's like nearly healed. I ruined up my hand because my roommates dog chews up everything and she chewed the handle of the garden trowel and it gave me a massive blister that immediately broke open and got ripped off so after the naked angry red lower layer of skin dried out a little bit I covered it with a thin layer of AAA and put a bandaid over it for two nights and now it's almost healed. I tell everyone all you need is neosporin and a bandaid and it works."


"I took Yaz for 4 yrs and absolutely loved it. First, Yaz doesn't make you retain water, so when your period comes you never feel like a typical bloated boat walking around. Definitely helped with lighter, shorter periods. I've never had acne, but Yaz definitely cleared up even the tiniest pimples. You should still expect a few around your period but nothing crazy at all. The only bad side effect I would say was, sometimes it can make you a little crazy. You can become a really emotional, angry hot mess. I switched to another birth control because I was sick of taking the pill everyday. However, I would definitely recommend this."


"Wow! Soon as I put the tube in and pulled up my undies. I started a damn fire in my vagina! I can't really explain, I think with the pain I blacked out and knocked out. I woke up 3 hours later to feel like my vagina is sore and painful! I did monistat 1 before and never did I feel this ever. Then I tried monistat 3 and it feels like I lit a damn torch up there!  I don't even think I'll do the second night because it burned so much I'm scared and why the freak would I put myself in that position again. I did not feel any relief it stills burns and I think I messed up more my vagina than what was going on with it before. Do not try it  - just go to the doctors! Run away from all monistat! Run!!! Run!!!"


"27 hours after my water broke and being induced for labor the doctor added Nubain to my IV. It was certainly effective in the way that it completely knocked me out. All I remember was getting dizzy, seeing stars and then blacking out. It was a very uncomfortable feeling almost like my consciousness was gone. When I woke up I had no feeling for how much time had passed whether the baby was already born by c-section or not. The drug certainly did kill the labor pain but for me it was too powerful with too many side effects."


"Amazing results with Afrezza and Toujeo. Truly next generation insulin therapy is here. Thanks Sanofi!!!"


"Since I started on this medication, I stopped having seizures. It has been 2 years now. It is great medicine. "


"I have mild acne around my chin, some bumps on my forehead, and black heads (which caused in large poors) on my nose down to my cheeks. A year ago I've have 3 flare up of inflamed cystic acne that would last for months until a dr had to inject steroids into it. My doctor put me on doxycycline 50mg 2x a day, as well as epido topical gel ointment. No complaints on the doxy but as for epido, the third day I used it it made my face extremely sensitive and dry to the point it stings when I put moisturizer on. I've stopped it until stinging settles down, then I'm going to apply every other day instead of every day."


"Same as previous comment.  Made me sick to my stomach, serious diahrea.  Only took for 4 days and felt terrible, like I had the flu.  It did help the breathing, but not enough to put up with the side effects."


"I had to restart Effexor for the 4th time and it still works very well. My depression started to lift by the second week. The last time it took longer - about a month - before I felt any relief, it all depends. If the period of time before depression is one full of stress, longer, with many irritations, then it takes a little longer for Effexor to work. This 4th time it was only a sudden stressful situation with my mother's health - she was diagnosed with cancer - that sank me into depression. Somehow Effexor worked again and I thank God for that. The side effects for me are almost not worth mentioning and exercise helps a lot. I feel like myself again and some joy of life is back. I first took Effexor in 2005 and I'm glad it still works."


"I have been using this medication almost since it came on the market. I take a dose of 50% over the maximum recommended dosage. The medication seems to have a 7-10 hours effectiveness before rebound symptoms appear. I've tried several of the other proton pump inhibitors, which were not very effective. "


"I began to feel better almost immediately- within 4 days I could really tell a difference in my stress level and more overall depression. I feel much better, and I am thankful I that I decided to seek help. This has not solved all my problems, but it put me in a frame of mind to be able to deal with them rather than feel out of control and hopeless. Best decision I could have made not only for myself, but my family. the only side effect that I have experienced is difficulty reaching orgasm. But honestly it has helped me so much, I am more than willing to live with this than go back to the way I was before."


"As a 33 year old, well conditioned athlete, I had missed periods for over 6 months.  My body fat percentage is extremely low and probably the cause of amenorrhea.  I am on the last "active" pill now of Generess Fe and have changed no other factors in my life since starting this medication (Paleo diet, Crossfit & running).  I have gained 15 pounds in the last 23 days and have never felt more uncomfortable in my own skin. I have taken birth control in the past and never had such an awful experience with side effects."


"I have been using this cream for a month now and I seen results most of my g warts are gone. It takes time and patience. I know its an embarassing disease to have but there is hope, Its not a death sentence. So far this cream is working for me. I noticed it does cause irritation if you over do it but other than that I recommend it."


"Hey guys! I was wondering if any of you have advice or think I should just go get a test! My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex the day after my period and he went inside me on accident so he got me a plan b that I took about 10 hours after, a few days after I took it I started spotting which I thought was a good sign! But I'm now a week late on my period and I just don't know if I should totally be freaking out or not."


"I've struggled with night time binge eating for years where I only eat at night and all at once. I started prozac 5 days ago and it's decreased my desire to keep eating which is great/amazing actually but without food filling the 'void' I was left feeling more depressed will see if it improves feeling hopeful with the change in appetite though !!"


"Mirena has been great for me. Yes, it did hurt really bad when it was inserted, but it was only a 2 minute procedure...not that bad. I did experience cramping on and off for the rest of the day, but nothing worse than normal period cramping.  I also spotted for the first week, but I just wore a pantyliner and I was fine. It's an awesome little device."


"I just began taking this medication about a week ago.  Last month I was switched from Percocet 10/325mg to Dilaudid 2mg as the Percocet seemed to not be working for me anymore.  Either that or my pain had progressed and gotten worse.  (I have a few herniated discs in the my lower back)  I felt like the Dilaudid helped but was very short-lived.  So, I asked my doctor about switching to something extended release.  I never heard of this medication, but honestly in just a week and I am on the lowest dose of 8mg- I feel like a different person.  I can function again more than I have been able to in almost 7 months of living with this chronic pain.  I feel like I am alive again! Very happy with this! (except yes it is expensive!)"


"I was put on this pill because I have no insurance and needed something to help with my heavy periods. Everything was fine for the first month and a half and then halfway through my second pill pack I started bleeding and it lasted 17 days, stopped for 5 and started again! The day it started again I switched to a new pill.  Also during those 17 days I experienced the worst cramps I've ever had, was constantly nauseous, and had really bad mood swings. I don't know anyone that's had a good experience on this pill."


"I've been taking this medication for two months now. At first I was taking the full dose, but I never had a BM so I lowered to 75mg once a day. I haven't had an IBS-D attack since I've taken it. I still have my A flare ups sometimes, but it's really been a lifesaver. The downside is that my BM's have now gone to every 4th day, and when I do go it's in very small amounts, is painful, and I usually end up having to skip a few days of viberzi to get it all out.

The medicine definitely works. For me, it works too well. I'm going to do a follow up with my doctor. I don't want to give up this medicine but I don't think it's healthy to be constipated  all the time, either."


"I discovered my new status in July 2017 VL 94K and CD4 126. After 4 weeks I had blood work again and I got an awesome results VL 85 and CD4 360. Hopefully I will be undetectable in my next check.
I haven't gotten any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches etc. This medicine has been working greatly into my body."


"I have noticed that the Monistat 1 and 3 don't work, I have to use the 7 day cream combo pack. I can't use the ovules either it has to be tubes that you fill with the cream. I have no idea why but they just don't work for me, I've tried them all. The first night usually sucks bc it does burn a bit on the inside, but by day 3 I'm usually back to feeling normal. The vulva cream that comes in the small tube is a huuuuge help too for the outter itch and I carry it with me on the go. Hope this helps."


"Went in to my doctor after a 3 day migraine. My head hurt so bad they had to turn the lights off in the exam room. They gave me a shot of Toradol and had me lay on the exam table for about 15 minutes. Worked great! After about an hour my migraine was completely gone. The gave me the shot in my thigh it stung for about 5 minutes. My thigh still hurts but ill take it over that migraine any day"


"I started this drug a few weeks ago, and along with Coreg has done wonders for my blood pressure. However, I am experiencing the "cough"."


"Everything was okay until the end of the first pack. Then, I spotted for 2 months straight. I am now having my period, and it is just like how they were before the medicine, only with more cramps. I usually have awful cramps the first day, then they go away. I'm 3 days in and the cramps haven't gotten better. I am remaining hopeful for the next 3 month set though."


"Did not work"


"I knew this medicine helped, in conjunction with the Spiriva I am on, but didn't realize until today how much. I noticed this morning, I didn't really feel it or anything going down but didn't pay attention and just went about my business (not sure how long it had been like that). Have had to use my rescue inhaler often today, and had to use my nebulizer. I didn't put two and two together until I noticed the dosage counter was on 0 when I looked at it tonight and it all made since. Only then did I realize how important it was. With it left out of the equation, my asthma was definitely not under control."


"I got the kyleena IUD at the end of June 2017. The procedure was pretty unbearable and I had very bad cramping for about 6 hours after. I bled lightly-moderately for about a month straight afterwards until my next period came (I could tell because I was VERY crampy and had very heavy bleeding). I currently get my period every month and it lasts about 15 days each time. I get waves of very bad cramps the week before and throughout the period. I then go maybe a week or two if I'm lucky without bleeding. I wanted to give it a chance, but it's now been almost 6 months and my body is clearly not adjusted. I plan to get it removed within the next month or two."


Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone / pseudoephedrine

"i have taken this drug on and off for the past few years. yesterday afternoon, after being on antibiotics, inhaler, hycodan, for bronchitis for 4 days, i had enough! could not breath, congested and inflammation all throughout my sinuses I called docs office this morning and got a decadron/duracef shot. a breathing treatment, and Zutripro.  Three hours later, i can breathe, I can smell, I can hear, nasty cough has ceased.  I feel GREAT and looking to a good nights sleep. Zutripro is quick acting and very effective for stubborn allergies, colds, bronchitis, any and all nasal maladies. I have autoimmune problems so at times what usually works for most, doesn't work for me.  I"


"I thought this birth control would be great since I am a 22 yr old college student and am on a very inconsistent daily schedule. I have had the implant for 10 months now and at first I had the typical occasional spotting which wasn't a big deal but then in a 3 month span I had 7 full blown periods.  Now my periods have slowed down but when I do get one I have it for almost 2 weeks and am usually very sick the day before I start.  I have been having the worst mood swings.  I tired constantly even with 8 hours of sleep I never had acne before and now I get cystic acne which is painful.  I really was terrified of this birth control when one of my friends got ovarian cysts from it. Needless to say I am having it removed in 19 days and counting."


"I got the implant on May 21,  2015 and it is now the 27th. The insertion wasn't as painful as I thought it would be thankfully, but the day after my arm was swollen and bruised. There is still a significant amount of bruising almost a week later.  Now I haven't bled any since I've had it inserted but the mood swings have been horrifying.  One minuet I'm super happy and then the next I'm bawling my eyes out.  I'm always irratible and it doesn't take much to aggravate me anymore.  Other than that I've had no weight gain,  no break outs,  or anything awful. I really like this form of birth control and plan to keep it.  Hopefully nothing changes besides the mood swings getting better.  I hope this helps."


"I have a lot of nerve damage, pinched nerves, sciatic nerve damage, restless leg syndrome from head to toe, and nothing worked for these. The nerve damage got so bad, I spoke to my doctor about it and he prescribed Lyrica which took care of all the nerve damage. At first probably the first 2 months only side effect I had was a little swelling of my hands. Lyrica was a wonder miracle for me.  The doctor had me on it for over 3 years with no problems, then my insurance refuses to pay for it now, because a 30 day supply is $900.00. They wanted to give me Neurontin, which I am allergic too. Now all the nerve pain is back and worse. I want the Lyrica back and would recommend it to any one."


"I have had SVTs for about 18 years and was switched from Calan SR to this drug.  I had no issues for about 4 years until recently when I was told that Cartia had been discontinued.  Now I am on Diltiazem for 3 months and have already had 2 episodes in a month.  I am going to try my hardest to get back on Cartia"


"I've had this since January 12 and my period has been off ever since.  I get killer headaches. Acne, sore breast and mild cramping but regardless its very helpful because I don't have to do anything like worry about missing a dose. It's still the best birth control I've ever had."


"Except for the expense, I was happy with the results."


"Have been taking this for 4 days now 3 x 150mg capsules four times a day for a piercing infection along with using hydrocortisone cream. Taking this due to developing an immunity to Flucloxacillin. Symptoms including weeping of area and swelling resulting in severe discomfort. These began to clear up within 24 hours of taking drug and has now all but vanished. Suffering minor side effects, mainly a constant metallic taste in my mouth. Was warned of possible bowel problems but have yet to experience this. Hopefully that carries on for next 3 days."


"Don't know if it works because I am burning to badly to tell. Caused blisters and Hell Fire discomfort. This particular product should be banned. This is the one time I wish I knew again really good Attorney."


"My review is much like everyone else's. In 7th grade, I had my first bad experience speaking in front of the class and my heart started pounding and I couldn't breathe and someone else had to finish what I was reading. I struggled with this all throughout high school and in college I actually dropped a class, then eventually transferred colleges to avoid taking a public speaking course. Sadly, I did not know about this medication. Now, I am

A graduate student. I have done 4 speeches since June, all with Propanolol varied from 55-60mg staggered 3 hours until 20-30 mins before my speech. It's a miracle guys. For real. I feel like

I can live again. I still worry maybe it won't work and when the time comes it works amazingly. No symptoms!!!"


"Take 3x/day for fibromyalgia - lifesaver! Tried almost all other muscle relaxers, and baclofen works the best for chronic muscle spasms and pain."


"34, no children. I hate hormones but finally gave in due to abnormal uterine bleeding and the hope Liletta would stop my periods. It releases a slightly lower dose of hormones than Mirena which is why I chose it. Had 4 lidocaine shots and insertion was still painful but not unbearable. I've had it for 5 weeks nows, I bled heavy with clots and terrible cramps starting right after insertion for nearly 3 weeks. Then it lightened up to just bleeding during the day but I was still using 3-4 tampons a day. Now I'm finally spotting, with no bleeding in the evening or overnight. I had horrific breast tenderness, moodiness, some bloating but no real weight gain. Also a bit of acne which is very annoying. If my periods stop/lighten I will keep it."


"I've tried many sleep aids. I'm currently taking a generic AMBIEN-CR 12.5mg. I had previously used both Brand name and generic versions of AMBIEN 10mg. I'm disappointed with AMBIEN & AMBIEN-CR. I've read horror stories of blackouts, falling into deep sleep within minutes of ingesting and even that the dose requirements have been reduced. Despite the alleged powerful effects of AMBIEN and AMBIEN-CR, I find it to be modestly effective for sleep. Regular, immediate-release AMBIEN 10mg would only help me sleep for  /- 3 hours."


"Viagra is best for Erectile dysfunction. "


"I was prescribed Zoloft 25mg a day for Depression and Anxiety/panic attacks. I was also having severe insomnia at the time and really bad anger problems.
From the first day I took Zoloft, my anger almost completely went away. I wasn't upset by things that normally annoyed me anymore. Another plus I noticed almost immediately was the lift in mood. I had great success raising my mood and lifting depression in the first few weeks of this drug.
However I stopped taking Zoloft after 4 weeks because the negatives were far outweighing the positives.
My insomnia and panic attacks got WAY worse, it was horrifying. I went to the ER because I had the worse panic of my life and thought I was dying. Sleep was impossible. Now I'm trying Remeron."


"So I have had Nexplanon for 2 years 3 months. I had it inserted 3 months after my son was born and I was breastfeeding so hadn’t had a period since having him. The no periods continued up until a week ago when I got a normal type period. At this point I would say that I am still breastfeeding although it’s just one small feed a night. I am now on day 9 since this period stated and I am still randomly spotting fresh blood... my theory is that the breastfeeding has been suppressing my period and now that has almost stopped they have returned.. although by the looks of things between that and the Nexplanon they are all over the place."


"I noticed right away I was exausted, but didn't think anything of it. I have always been emotional so it didn't seem off that I randomly started crying. Once I hit 4 months I thought I burnt my tongue. Went to the doctor to make sure it was nothing like strep throat or anything. My tongue swelled to where I couldn't talk or eat, and it lasted about a week. Then this month the first week on the new pack I had the same problem. I know I haven't burnt my tongue as I have been too paranoid to eat anything hot. So I called the doctors office and was told it's odd, but it can happen.. so I will be picking up a new prescription today. Mean while I still have to wait for the swelling to go down."


"IT WAS HORRIBLE. Hated my life while taking it. Never had bad acne before until this. During the second week of taking loestrin I got really bad and painful cystic acne. It wasn't just on my face, it was all over my body. It got to a point where I didn't feel like walking out of my house because of it. Mind you, this happened over the course of only 2 weeks. I also felt super depressed and moody, nauseous. I didn't feel like myself. It helped my cramps, but it definitely not worth it. Switching to another bc. I was hopeful everything would be fine, but it turned out to be a hellish experience. Would not recommend to anyone for sure."


"I was prescribed handily in the psych ward and after receiving an shot I felt very relaxed. Unfortunately the oral pill form isn't the same.  I immediately get stiff and anxious to the point that my neck and shoulders were in complete spams. Dr had to order another shot to counteract that and also give me a muscle relaxer.   All in all, I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest and I couldn't relax at all."


"I could not focus while on this drug. I had blurry vision and I couldn't sit still. Now I'm on something else with no side effects."


"I took Yaz years ago, without issue. I don't know if it's my body aging or what, but when I started taking Gianvi (generic Yaz) 4 months ago, the depression/anxiety/anger side effect is just too much. I'm quitting.

I have read that the synthetic hormone in this BC, drospirenone, can cause depression. For me, it's been dramatic. Every month about 5 days before my period, I cry uncontrollably and get irritable and angry for no reason. I'm dead-eyed depressed and feel lethargic at times. Also, I have ZERO sex drive and cannot climax when I do. I am not myself, mentally or emotionally, and it's just not worth it to take this pill any more.

If you are prone to depression, do not take this."


"I got the Depo shot in October 2014.
It is now February 2015 and I have been either spotting or full on bleeding since then. I can't have sex because I start to bleed as if my period just started. I've been on and off the Depo for 4 years and this is the first time I've had a bad experience with it. I also gained 25 pounds since October, but I eat healthy and go to the gym regularly."


"I was on lutera but I changed doctors and he only had aubra so I started taking that and horrible I bleed non stop and it gave me horrible cramps. Anytime my Boyfriend and I had intercourse it caused me to bleed even more like I had my period again. Worst birth control ever didn't agree with me so I went back to my doctor and told him to give me a prescription for lutera and I just got my lutera and started taking it. Already I feel better"


"I have struggled with acne for ages and  I can't say I have tried all products out there, but I have tried simple face washes and none of them seem to work. It has bothered me and I already took birth control, so when I went to my OB she recommended Yaz. I'm still only on my first pack and I'm about a week in, and I realize it may seem crazy to be getting results so fast, but my skin already seems to be clearing up and so far I haven't had any bizarre side effects. I'm going to update in a few weeks and I hope this helps. I've seen many bad reviews but remember we are all different and will react differently and it's always worth the try!"


"This is a great low level breakthrough pain medication for people who do not have a tolerance built up for pain medications."


"I've lost 85 pounds in a year.  I lost the first 60 pounds in 6 months, using a combination of eating well and exercising.  I was 290lbs and am now 205.  It was easy eating well, because I wasn't hungry.  Now I'm just in the habit of eating well and exercising.  I feel great."


"I have been on Paxil for 2 weeks. If you have anxiety please try this drug. The first week was hell. I had headaches and mood swings. Then my whole life slowed down so I could catch up. Good Luck!"


"They say no taste, but made me gag every time I took it.  Don't know the benefits cause I couldn't stay on it long enough."


"Started with 2 now I'm up to 4 still no results."


"Young 30's with super heavy flow including clotting and severe cramps, for years. Gyno recommended tranexamix acid and it works great. I do experience severe cramping with diarrhea but I'm not sitting in a crime scene after putting a pad and a tampon on after 15 minutes on a short car ride, so I'd say it's a win. Hopefully that gets better as my body adjusts.
I am on other medicines for other illnesses including migraines and ulcers so that could be the interactions of the medications but nonetheless, it's an improvement."


"My 15 year old son suffered from moderate acne for a couple of years.  He would get huge pimples that would leave scars.  We finally saw a dermatologist who prescribed Epiduo Forte for nighttime use and Aczone for daytime.  Within the first few days, his acne started clearing up.  After one month, his face was clear.  Any pimple that he might get now is usually gone within two days.  No more scarring.  Wish we tried this a year ago.  We were warned that his acne might get worse before it got better, but he was lucky.  That did not happen.  We were also told he may have to use the Epiduo forte every three nights in the beginning if it was too drying on his face, but again, this did not happen.  He has been very lucky and I am grateful."


"Hey everyone I am 22 years old and I just started my 3rd week of this pill. This is the first time ever being on birth control. I started the first day of my period and I've been spotting where as I actually need to wear a tampon basically ever since. I have lower back cramps from time to time too. Before the birth control I had lower back cramps whenever I had my period and it'll last for 7 days. Now I've been spotting for about 8 days. I say 8 but I haven't stopped bleeding since o had this last period. But this bleeding don't seem like period blood. Someone help me please .should I call the doc or wait until the next period (end of month)."


"After two days on this medication out of a 7 day treatment at 500mg twice a day, I noticed an improvement of my BV. However, the side effects have been pretty extreme for me. I developed an allergic reaction which gave me hives all over my body, what seems to be a throat infection as I can barely swallow and severe stiff neck. I'm actually really scared right now and going to an urgent care facilitu tomorrow morning. Overall I feel light headed, drowsy and achey all over. I stopped taking this medication after my 5th dose since my hives kept spreading and this stiff neck is super painful."


"I started out doing very well with Tyvaso. When they increased the puffs to 9, my condition went back to being fatigued and short of breath.  I take Tyvaso for pulmonary arterial hypertension."

"I recently got off of Portia because after over a year of taking it, I noticed it caused me to be more irritable. It did what it was supposed to though - had no problems with that. No weight gain, but I did get pretty bad cramps on the first couple of days of my period. It improved my skin complexion drastically though. I just wish it didn't affect my personality nearly as much."


"I had Mirena inserted in 2011 due to endometriosis, which is aggravated by estrogen so an IUD was the way to go at the time. Did not have any problems whatsoever. No weight gain or skin problems. Absolutely nothing. My 5 years with Mirena ended. I had Liletta inserted July 2016 only b/c my doctor suggested it. BIG MISTAKE! I have gained almost 30 lbs. I work out, watch what I eat and any other thing you can think of to lose weight. I'm STILL gaining & I now have really bad acid reflux because of it! It reminds me off the Depo experience I had years ago. On top of the extreme weight gain, my skin looks like I'm going through puberty. Heck my skin wasn't this bad during puberty! Not to mention the never ending cramps!  Got to get it out ASAP!"


"I would recommend Accutane to almost everyone who suffers from acne. I've had acne since I was probably 12, I am now 15 and on my 4th (and last) month of Accutane. I also suffer from asthma, so my lungs were dried out more then ever since I was taking Accutane, but with drinking tons and tons of water and Gatorade I've been doing better then I ever thought I would. I've been able to handle our volleyball conditioning over the entire summer. I carry chapstick everywhere and I've experienced that when I scratch my arms, they would just look terrible and scab up and my skin was super sensitive and cut open for almost everything."


"I was reluctant to try this but after 20+ years of fighting psoriasis I figured it was worth a try.  I read all the reviews first, so I'm contributing to the database for others. I had some stomach discomfort for a few days, some brain fog, and a few nights of bad sleep. My skin started to clear by day 5 (not sure about nails yet) but I really struggled with the afternoon 2nd dose, so I'm sticking to just 1 tab in the AM and nothing else. That keeps my skin about 80% clear and I can take care of the rest via topical steroids. A month into this and I still feel a little 'high' after my AM tab but very happy with the results. Good luck."


"I have 3 children, 2 of whom are on Concerta. We have tried many things prior to this and nothing has worked quite as well."


"I have been using phentermine for 6 months and lost 101 pounds. I am healthy and happy. This is the only thing that worked for me."


"I take this medicine and my sugar still goes up when I eat. I have had a sever headache for about 6 weeks, i`m very dizzy all the time and all my bed is wet. When i`m awake I sweat all day. At times I have very bad acid reflux. It has made me unable to do anything all day long. I have been taking it for about 6 months. I'm calling my dr. In the morning."


"This is my first vaginal yeast infection and I just picked the first product that sounded like it'd do the job off the Walgreen shelf. I've been suffering from this yeast infection for about a week now and the symptoms were starting to ease but I was hopeful this would quicken the process. Unfortunately, as soon as the cream started leaking out of my vagina, it started burning like hell. I tried to manage it by wiping the leaked cream away but it didn't change the pain. Within minutes I decided to run into a shower stall and try and wash it out. I had to sit on the floor crying, Now I'm sitting on the toilet and my vagina is leaking pink discharge, like I'm bleeding, and I'm still in severe pain."


"2 weeks into lisinopril. ED had just started, dizzy, BP only a bit lower."


"Just finished a 5 day course, side effects have been an intense headache for 3 of the days and extreme irritability. I hope I never need to take it again I feel awful"


"Took it for back pain and it helped a ton.  When I stopped taking it I realized it was helping aches and pains elsewhere too.  Worked great for me."


"I have had the mirena for 18 months now. I am getting it removed on Friday. The 2 major reasons is weight gain (10 lbs) that is a lot for me as I am a personal trainer and it has killed my sex drive! I have always had a higher than average libido and for the past year it is gone. Not worth it to me. I would rather have my painful periods back!!!"


"I was absolutely dreading taking this.  I have a huge fear of having to take any pills, or medicines which is why I won't be having the sedation tomorrow for the colonoscopy - wish me luck.  Anyhow I braved it and started taking the first litre at 630.  Nothing happened until 8 and I thought it wasn't going to work but now seems to have started :/  Similar experience to others but no cramps thankfully - I'm just going to take the last half glass - its now 8:15.  Its fine.  I paced it - drank a glass straight down about every 20 minutes and had a full glass of water in between.  If I'm not up all night pooping I'll be up all night peeing!  It's not bad and you can't taste it if you drink the glass quickly - good luck moviprepers"


"I have taken plan b 3x this year so far, Feb-April, 1 each month (I know I'm stupid for not using protection) BUT it has worked every time!! I don't recommend taking it more than 2x in such a close timing as in doses because it DOES mess up your cycle. I took plan b in April and I have yet to have a period but I am not pregnant."


"I took the pill 21hrs later, about $55 at Walgreens. These are the symptoms I experienced that may/may not be related to pill: fatigue, hormonal, severe chin breakouts, slight breast tenderness, stiffness in lower right hip. I got my period this morning, 2 days late. So yay it worked! "


"I used Suprep for the first time on my third colonoscopy and this was by far the easiest, most predictable prep I've had. Unfortunately, I was prescribed the Golytely for my first two and had the exact opposite experience. With Suprep there was no difficulty swallowing, no nausea/dry heaving, no delayed effect. Although the taste isn't desirable, it by no means is awful.

I chilled the first bottle for 30 minutes before mixing it with water and chugging it down. About an hour later and after I finished the extra water, it was flowing well. My colonoscopy is at 1:00 today and I was up early to finish, following what I did the night before. The bowel movement is mostly clear now and I'm expecting a good result this afternoon."


"I am 3 months post-partom and have been taking mononessa since I was 6 weeks pp.  I have never taken birth control before.  Ever since I started taking this birth control I have periods that last about 3 weeks with cramping and headaches...  I'm about to be done"


"Bad case of Bronchitis and sinus pressure. I took Mucinex DM, 1 pill every 12 hours, for a week. I would fall asleep fine, but wake up 3-4 hours later and could not get back to sleep. I ran out of DM, and for the last few days took the Mucinex D instead. Not much sleep the first night, NO sleep at all last night combined with a lot of post nasal drip and the jitters. So glad I finally figured it out, as I'm a walking zombie right now. I will never take Mucinex D past the morning hours again."


"I would take two 500mg pills once a day. I used it for occasional tooth aches because of my braces. It helped alot. Alot better than ibuprofen or naproxen actually."


"I'm telling you this medication is powerful and it works BUT I am giving it 5 out of ten right in the middle because it also has POWERFUL side effects. There is no doubt in my mind it works well BUT If your Very Hypersensitive like me to medications this one will knock you out ***Meaning its fighting the infection and doing its job*** but it can be a very uncomfortable experience... When you have a severe internal infection and take medication like this your body goes into overdrive helping the medicine work I took only a quarter of a 150 mg tablet  to let my body know whats happening and wow did just that make me so dizzy and just lay in bed like WOAH but 12 hrs later took all the rest in small increments and I'm all better and it worked!"


"I suffer with arthritis in hands, knees, elbows, and hips.  In 2013 I underwent a total left hip replacement and worked hard in rehab to become active again.  However, as time progresses, my joints continue to 'talk' to me loudly.  In the mornings, I look like a crone hobbling around until from moving they begin to become fluid.  Ridiculous!  My doctor put me on Cymbalta back in December of 2014.  Wow.  What a difference.  I did have some struggles on learning when to take it without suffering with nausea, dizziness, etc.  For me, morning time seems to be the ticket.  Mid day or evening caused stomach and head issues. I am on a  lower dose compared to what I have read, but I give this a A+.  Within 15 minutes of taking my dose, I am fine."


"I was given 50mg of tramadol 3x a day, initially for restless leg syndrome. This combined with gabapentin have helped so much with the restless legs syndrome. I also have chronic hip pain, have been dealing with it since I was a young child, due to my hips dislocating multiple times a month. This medicine works well, but I have had to have my doctor up the dose. I now take 300mg a day. I do have to say, that the side effects are terrible. I itch horribly! My whole body, but the worst place is my face! It also has made it so that I am unable to sleep at nights. It's worth it to not be in pain, and to lay down comfortably, but the side effects for me are bad!"


"I've used NuvaRing for over two months now, and when I first started using it I had stomach pains (like cramps) for two days, but since then nothing. I can't feel the ring, neither can my partner, and it has never fallen out. Slightly dryer than usual, but not disturbingly. Other than that, I'm completely normal; no acne, no mood change, no weight gain, nothing. I love it.a"


"I have taken Remeron for over 6 years at 30mg before bedtime to treat life long suicidal depression and debilitating social anxiety. In the first few days of taking it I can say it was like a switch put to normal. It knocks me out within 1/2 hour of taking it and it is not possible to wake me into a coherent and alert state for at least 5 hours, that isn't an issue for me and the family is used to it now also. The hours of guaranteed sleep is an added bonus. I have my life back, I no longer have social anxiety & I can deal in very high pressure situations perfectly fine. I have noticed a worsening short term memory issues but given my line of work I can't say it has relationship to the med, & I will not go off med to find out."


"I started taking Straterra in February of'16. About three weeks ago I began to cry at the drop of a hat. Three days ago my depression worsened and began to become almost delusional with themes of guilt. I feel better since I stopped yesterday and today. I will ask my Psychiatrist to take me off and commence with Vyvanse. Crying and emotionally labile isn't me. I'm glad I stopped it before I hurt myself."


"Geodon has worked wonders for me. Everyone has noticed a change in me. I'm so happy that my doctor put me on this medication."


"Hi Everyone I had a bad experience with this birth control. I was taking another birth control before this one. I switched to this one bc of my mood. And around the 3rd month I went crazy. I started to think weirdly I started to think I didn't love my boyfriend anymore.  And I know it's not true but it is the WORST. I went off it about a month ago and I still have the worst depression and anxiety. I can't even look at my boyfriend the same anymore and it breaks my heart. But I heard it gets better and these thoughts will go away. Remember ladies  never act when your on birth control it's not you! But this made my realtionship the worst.  So I needed a break from birth control after this one a break is well needed!

Good luck ladies!"


"They more than doubled the price of this drug for no reason because its been on the market for decades. I don't have insurance so I can't afford it anymore and will be switching to something that doesn't cost $75 for three months! It used to be $9 a month. Even my pharmacist was rolling her eyes about the sudden price increase and tried to find a discount card because she said it was too expensive. Shameful business practices."


"Like most of you, I just could not go, and when I did I was stranded on the pot wishing for a quick death. I tried everything, but I am taking Morphine, muscle relaxers, neurontin and more...nothing worked. Finally I asked my doctor about Movantic. He wrote me a script immediately, sent me home with samples too,

Mind you, I had not gone for over a week, day one with Movantic and I had a religous experience on the pot.  I did have the cramps and lots of gas but the trade off was worth it.

I am on my second month with Movantic, and can say it is truly a blessing to poop again.

So sorry most of these posts are such bad experiences. I have nothing but happy feelings for this super pooper drug."


"I smoked 2 packs of Marlboro red for 20 years and 3 packs for an additional 15 years. Thanks to Chantix I quit in under 2 weeks.  Thank you Chantix I can enjoy my family more, coaching my kids more and just enjoying life more"


"I had a slight headache the first day. Then i was fine. No sleepy side effects. I have been taking it for 1 month and i lost 15lbs. I have always eaten healthly. I have not started exercising yet. I only take 1 pill a day."


"I have had acne since I was 12 and I am now 29. I have tried everything from roaccutane to expensive cosmetic treatments to diets. I was nervous about going on yasmin as I took a pill previously called gedarel for my skin, which made me feel mental. Yasmin did make me feel a tiny bit moody but that was the only symptom. First month I broke out terribly. It was the worst break out in about 2 years. I am now on my 2nd month pack and skin is starting to clear. I do follow a strict skincare regime as well, always removing makeup, using toner and a good oil free moisturiser (dermalogica-active moist is the best cream I have ever come across for acne prone skin). I also exfoliate 2 times a week with glycolic peel."


"This medication is worth to try! I am 28 years old and I still can't believe I suffer from acne. I wash my face twice a day and also tried many products that claim to cure the acne! This medication is a miracle! No acne and my face looks great!"


"PSA: THIS PRODUCT IS HORRIBLE! I am on day 2 of this treatment and I have never been in so much agonizing pain. I wish I would've seen all of these reviews before inserting this into my body. My legs won't stop trembling/twitching because my vagina is burning and I just want to flush it all out. Guess I'm not getting any sleep tonight.."


"I was on Yasmin for around a year and had no problems with it. It was great and then I started to get breakthrough bleeding so my doctor switched me to Diane which was terrible! I think it was too strong for me because it made me break out like crazy. I didn't have acne to begin with. I then had a break from the pill (skin cleared up completely from almost the 2nd day of stopping the pill) for about 6 months or so and now have gone back on Yasmin and my skin has been breaking out like crazy! lots of small white heads on the left side of my face and some in a little section on my right cheek. They're small but coming up every single day. I'm in the 4th month now and hasn't cleared up yet. Help!! :'("


"I wrote a review as R2lls on March 13, 2017. This is an update!

I couldn't be happier with my choice. Within the first 30 day of insertion. I only had 2 days of random spotting. I Had my first regular cycle mid April. It was like clockwork. Regular cramps and no horrible side effects. It is now month 2 for me. I literally just finished my cycle, it was 4 days with a light flow. So my cycle was definitely shorter and lighter than normal with kyleena. The worst experience I've had is a random cramp that felt like someone had stabbed me in the butt. I couldn't walk comfortably but as soon as I got some ibuprofen I was fine. Aside from that I have had no issues. Honestly kyleena was a great choice for me."


"Paxil not only helped with panic attacks, it cured me of my fear of heights! The down side was the 40 pound weight gain over 3 months (exercise didn't help). Vivid dreams and it took over 40 minutes to achieve orgasm (no complaints from the wife!)"


"I finished my 21 month Forteo injection program 6 months ago. I was disappointed to learn of only a 10% to 14% improvement in my bones.  I was not told so but I believed I would see at least at 50% improvement.  "


"I recommend this product if you have pain. I would like to say that this is the best of two evils,
because it burns at the start when you first start to use it.  It is really important to read the instructions to use it properly. But nice to relocate the pain a little. For my part, the product works very well.

However, if you do not have major pain, the product will be worse for you.

Anyway, a great product to measure your pain level
"


"I'm only giving Estrace Cream a 3 rating on the scale due to there being issues with the product.  I have been using this product for a couple of years. It did help until the last few months, I went from using it 2-3 times a week to needing it every other day.  My frustration comes from the amount that actually is in the tube. It says there is 42.5 grams in the tube, I alway keep track of the amount in the tube and end up with about 24 grams out of the tube in the end. Has anyone else kept track of this?

Also, I can't afford it when I went yesterday to pick up a new tube and they wanted $290 for 1 tube?!! Why would it be this expensive? That was even after my insurance paid a portion."


"I'm 21 and a mother of an almost 3 year old. I had my IUD inserted about 2 years ago. The pro is that I love not getting my period but I feel like I've experienced more cons with it. I've gained more weight then I did during my pregnancy, I cry for no reason. I feel bloated often, I've recently started getting acne which I never had even as a teen. I know everyone is different but I've decided to get mine removed after having it 2 years. I hope to use good old abstinence as my new birth control. As to you ladies that had amazing experiences I'm very jealous!"


"I was seen by my Dr. on June 30th and she stated I was overweight due to my current height. I was in the obese stage. Anyways I've started taking this medication on July 1st, starting weight 198.7 and as of July 7th I weigh 190. Within 7 days I've lost 8.7 lbs. I can not believe these results. I can just imagine the weeks to come. I extremely excited and I'm looking forward to this new lifestyle."


"I started taking this pill at the start of this month, I'm now on week 4 and completely miserable. I noticed almost straight away that my moods, which aren't that great to begin with, but bearable, have worsened. I can't stand to be around myself because of the mood I'm in all the time. This started about 2 days after I started the pill and has only gotten worse as the month carried on. Now that I'm on the placebo week my period which is normally light/medium to medium flow is so incredibly heavy. My doctor prescribed me this for my PCOS to help regulate my periods till my husband gets over and we can start trying for a baby, but I think I'd much rather just deal with my periods being out of whack than this. "


"I was taking this for anxiety and had a REALLY bad experience with this medicine. I was also told that giving Metformin was not standard practice while taking this. It should be, I wanted to eat my refrigerator and could not sleep. Had nausea, headache, dizzines. I did not have suicidal thoughts."


"I've been on the Nuvaring for 7 years. I got it when I was 18 because I didn't want to take a pill everyday and I was scared the shot would make me gain weight. I love my nuvaring besides the fact that it has killed my sex drive. Thats the only downside I've experienced. So if that doesn't bother you then I highly suggest it. It cleared up my face of acne, I didn't gain any weight, it shortened my period to be about 3 days long and is very light, no extra moodiness or anxiety. The perk of it is you can skip a month in between your periods. I put it in for 3 weeks, take it out and have a period. Then the next month I take it out and put a new one in at the same time on the 4th week. I hope this helps anyone considering it."


"Alli was working for me unfortunately I have medications for high blood pressure and seizures and Alli was affecting the absorption of those medications and I had to stop taking it. I loved it though."


"Rapaflo has worked great for me.  I used to use Flomax and my doctor switched me.  I feel so much better and don't have the dizziness I used to have with Flomax."


"I was on this pill for probably around 4 years, when I got a pulmonary embolism. I am 18 YEARS OLD. The doctors have no idea what the cause was other than me being on birth control. I could have died. Pulmonary embolisms are very serious and I would tell all girls to rethink if they really want to risk their life for BC pills."


"I have had recurring uti's for 5 decades. I've been on macrobid for a couple of years. I've found it does help prevent the kidney and bladder infections with few side effects.
The side effects I do have are: darkened urine, diarrhea occasionally, nausea and dry heaves occassionally, dizziness occasionally and peripheral neuropathy on occasion.
Now I know you would think that these side effects would deter someone from taking this drug but for me those side effects are better than having bladder and kidney infections for 6 months at a time. For me the macrobid is the lesser of the two evils. Living with the infections is worse than these few issues."


"I think a small amount(25-100mgs) is a pretty good amount and a safe medicine for insomnia, or for people who have OCD, or any kind of compulsive behaviors that are so bad that they hinder their lives in a negative way.  Ask your doctor about this medicine if you think you will benefit from the sedating and calming effects of Seroquel!  I use it at night to sleep, about 50-100mg only when needed but I also feel a bit more relaxed in the morning when I wake up after taking the Seroquel. Helps me until I have to have my Valium for generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks."


"Worked wonders for me. I suffered from Psoriasis covering the insides of my hands. Was very painful. Would crack and bleed. Tried many creams and other meds. Once I started this medication it cleared up quickly. Am now able to use my hands again."


"Having tried just about everything out there, I was using an MAOI for years, but didn't realize how foggy I was feeling until I started using the Emsam patches. I can think more clearly, which is huge, but I still have to really push to do most things. They are the best thing I've tried."


"I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis after my 1st laparoscopy in june 2015. Following my 1st surgery i started Lupron injections in hopes to slow the endo growth. I had 3 rounds of Lupron causing terrible side effects which included but not limited to: fatigue, night sweats, mood swings, joint pain, severe abdominal pain, lack in sex drive, natural lubrication, anxiety.. Dec 2015 my 2nd laparoscopy and 6mths of Lupron left me with stage 3 Endometriosis. Doc wanted to continue with 6 MORE months of Lupron and another surgery. I declined such offer. I am very unhappy with how this drug effected my life.My body will never be the same after Lupron. Dont take this drug."


"its awful. i looked more into the side effects and one of the rare side effects is anxiety and knowing this made my week at school a living hell. I kept on having very bad anxiety attacks I feel like I'm gonna die, I can't go outside and actually have a good time and I can't breathe while at school Microgestin and Naproxin have side effects causing anxiety. please don't take this medicine it messes up your life and I just hope I can get back to my normal self. by the way naproxen is for my leg because i was having leg pain for a shin splints. you guys don't take both of these. oh and I'm going to the doctor on wednesday to talk about my leg and for my anxiety attacks."
