"I've been on this since 1989. The generic pill form works best! Before DDAVP I went to the bathroom around the clock and drank tons of water. The nasal spray was difficult at first since they didn't have my dosage right which I ended up in the hospital with my sodium at 119. But after the Drs got the dosage down and with the pills now, I've had no problems. Thank goodness for DDAVP."


"***ZANTAC CAUSES PANIC ATTACKS***
I was prescribed Zantac regularly (1-2x daily) for acid reflux. I developed notably worsened anxiety and nocturnal panic attacks where I would wake up almost every night 2-3 hours after falling asleep with episodes of vivid nonsensical dream-like episodes lasting 2-3 hours. I would have a hard time figuring out simple things like how to open my door or plug in my phone charger to call home. I would keep parents on the phone for 2-3 hours asking them to come get me for no reason even when I had work the next morning. I was constantly confused and dizzy even during the day and it began significantly affecting my work performance. I did research on my own and found out Zantac can cause all the above. I contacted my psychiatrist, who did not know I was on Zantac and they told me Zantac can do this and has had several patients experience this. Since I stopped taking Zantac I have slept full nights with no episodes & minimal to no anxiety. I have never had any experience like this prior to being on Zantac. I would NEVER recommend anyone take Zantac."


"Very effective as I can't use NSAIDS and am allergic to many other drugs."


"I have 5 lumbar  5 cervical bulging discs =  left sciatic, left hip pain, bilateral wrist to above elbow pain.  The pain is severe.   Per MD orders,  I took Duexis 7 days on/7 days off for two cycles.  When I stop,  within 3-4 days pain makes my life dysfunctional.  Within 2 days of starting, the pain decreases significantly.   The drug is extremely expensive so MD ordered 800 mg tablets ibuprofen and I bought over the counter 10 mg famotadine tabs.  I have been taking that duo twice a day and the Duexis once a day.  I am very reluctant to take this med long term because of  my age (70 ), IBS, and possible  liver/kidney problems.  However, it is the ONLY regime right now that relieves the pain."


"Had a horrible panic attack,  never had one before & the doctor explained what was going on & gave me Ativan. Works amazing for me."


"I've been taking seroquel for 8 years.  Yes it puts you to sleep.  Yes it makes you dumber. Yes it makes your body hurt.  It changes your body so much.  I can't sleep without it but I wish I'd never started on psych meds. I now have chemical dependencies on the medication and problems that I can't fix and doctors don't want to help with because they're just side effects of the medications. Be strong.  Learn to stand on your own especially if you're in your teens or twenties.  Doctors and drug companies do not have your best interest in mind.  They want you to be slave to their services and products.  I have migraines 3 or 4 times a week for the last 6 years and the doctors tell me is because I smoke cigarettes.  BS"


"I could tell it was going to work from the second day and had a wonderful 6 or so pain-free weeks until it started to stop working :(.  Having bad flares again at the 2-month mark - swelling seems to still be slightly controlled but pain and stiffness are bad and about to turn to prednisone"


"I had Implanon inserted 4 months ago after my son was born. Since then, I have gained 15 additional pounds to the weight I had gained due to pregnancy. I have had a migraine for the past 4 days that not even migraine medicine and sleep can't take away. My acne is terrible since I got this birth control. I have been bleeding non-stop for the past 4 months. My hair is falling out. It is causing major mood swings. It is making me a very angry person, which I am not. Overall, I just feel unhealthy due to the Implanon. Every possible side effect that any Implanon user could experience, I am experiencing."


"I have been on the contraception patch for 2 and a half years now and have absolutely no problem works perfect for me I get them free from my local sexual health clinic and I think am the only person who seems to be on the patch my friends all laugh when I show them it on my bum. Am so forgetful and forgot to replace it a couple of times but me and my boyfriend have had no pregnancy scares with it! The patch is a blessing and I wouldn't go on any other contraception."


"I just started on Pristiq yesterday, and it's good to read these remarks.  I am a 29 year old male diagnosed with PTSD and clincal depression.  The last 2 years especially have been hell.  The real hell.. and I want to be out.  Reading these reviews gives me hope."


"I am a weight loss war veteran. My highest weight was 337 and have had two bariatric procedures since 1996. I started 1.5 year ago a low carb diet and went from 245 to 213 and was stuck there for 9 months. June of this year, I started Saxenda. I have reached my goal now of 165. I will continue on the medication to get a bit lower.  I hope to find a stabilizing dose and continue taking it forever if possible. It absolutely shuts of your appetite. I would obsess about eating and getting "enough." The drug cuts down those thoughts. I eat very small portions but get full very fast. Side effects can be nausea that could be from having an empty stomach (sour felling.) Soda water seems to help.

As noted, constipation is a problem."


"I've been on this now for 5 months and it is by far the best pain medicine out there. No high feeling or anything like that. If your doctor has you on Celebrex and you don't feel any relief, ask him for Voltaren. You will most certainly feel the difference. If you are on it for any length of time (like me) then every so often you'll have to have blood work done to check your kidneys and liver to make sure they are functioning right as this medicine can cause problems with that. For me everything is good to go so far. I swear by Voltaren."


"I wanted to give an update on my progress with Qsymia.  I started on 02/18/2014.  As of today I have losted 25 pounds.  I do light exercise 3-4 times a week (about 20 to 30 mins).  I love these pills and will continue until I have reached my goal.  I go to the doctor on 08/02/2014.  I will come back with another updated then.  In the beginning my insurance did not pay, but now they do and I only have to pay a copay of $40."


"Okay so I promised myself I would write a review if plan b worked and it worked! So here is my experience, I recently had unprotected spontaneous drunk sex (that I completely regret) and I couldn't afford too get plan b till three days after unprotected sex. (72 hours) so I took it praying it would work and then the same week I did it AGAIN (I have been going through a hard time and didn't care about anything at this point.) obviously when I sobered up I cared so once again I took plan b twice in one week knowing it would mess up my body and cycle but it really didn't. I had no pains, no spotting, no nothing. Two weeks later I received my period and I've never been happier too see blood in my life and Im getting back on the right track now!"


"Love this BC. I don't experience any side effects like migraines or weight gain or anxiety. Also, I no longer get my periods. Been on this BC for 1.5 years so far!"


"I really like this pill besides the fact that I sleep all day. I take the pill every few days at about 12, when I'm not tired and 15 minutes later I become drowsy. About 30 minutes after that, I'm asleep. but I tend to sleep really late. I don't hear my alarms and I can't get myself out of bed. If you do take this I would consider taking it earlier than you normally would. Other then that this pill is the best I have found and works great just like it says."


"I am now in my 70's and have suffered restless legs all my adult life. My Doctor referred me to a neurologist 4 years ago who tried me on Ropinirole starting on a low dose of 1mg each night gradually building up to 5mg daily. It took me over a year to get over nausea and adjusting my dosage to get the desired result. I now take a 1mg tablet with each meal and 2 before bed making a total of 5mg daily and I no longer suffer from restless legs, totally gone! I have no side effects at all. "


"I have tried typing a response and recommendation for this medication but keep running out of space.  In short, this drug absolutely changed my life.  As adults, we all remember certain days in our life, i.e., our first kiss, graduation, birth of a child, getting married, etc.  I will always remember Saturday, December 8, 2007 as the day where my life changed because of Vyvanse.  The only side effect for me was a complete loss of appetite for about a month.  But in my case, that's not such a bad thing!  I was taking 50mg for about 6 months and now have taken 70mgs for the last 16 months."


"I suffered 2 severe migraines every month. I was at my wits end trying to deal with them as all the medications had failed miserably. Propranolol was my last hope and thankfully it works beautifully. I truly feel as though I have my life back. I can plan events in advance and I no longer have to go to work with a migraine! Amazing!"


"I love love love this form of birth control. I'd been on the pill before and always forgot to take it... not really effective if you don't take it ha. During the first 3 months, I had not had a period but I was a bit more emotional, it didn't really interfere with my life but my mood swings were noticeable to me. After those first 3 months, my mood went back to normal but I started spotting really lightly for 2 months. It wasn't enough spotting for a tampon but it was enough for a panty liner if that puts in into perspective for you. It took me about 8-10 months to get a period again, and now they're really regular. I haven't gained any weight, my skin is clearer than ever and I am definitely not pregnant. This stuff is GOLD."


"Worked okay."


"For breakthrough pain works well   I take percodan regularly  [ 4 per day] and zanaflex 2 mgs  but sometimes pain goes beyond these and so i take dilaudid 4mgs  These help until the next round"


"Clobex is the only thing that worked.  Severe patches and redness went away in only days. Its expensive and is a very strong medicine, a little goes a long way."


"I started taking the phentermine pill with a water pill on 03/28/2016. its now 05/06/2016 and I'm down 23 lbs. I am proud of myself but I was hoping for a bigger result. I also exercise 6-7 days a week at the gym and 4 days a week outside with a personal trainer and have a strict diet. I'm hoping that maybe I'm gaining muscle weight along with losing weight and that's why I haven't seen more results. I will keep you guys posted!! Good luck on your weight loss journey!! :)"


"It makes me tired and it does get caught up in my throat with water so have drink with coffee anyway it gives me hot flashes and also I can't remember simple everyday things since I been this!!!!"


"I have not had sleep paralysis in over 12 years. Had HORRYIFYING sleep paralysis multiple times nightly and hypnogogic hallucinations.
ALL GONE thanks to .50 mg clonazepam before bed. It's been miraculous no longer afraid to fall asleep at night"


"Has already turned my life completely around!"


"I do not recommend this product to anyone !!! However once I interested the egg I started to burn and itch really bad!!! I figured that's what it does being that its cleaning a yeast infection but I was wrong!! So I waited it out until 8 pm that and my libia minora had swole up and I could barely walk so I applied the cream like it said and  it just got worst the cream made my lower area so angry and irritated! I rushed to the emergency room where I got treated and the Oby said that the egg had dissolve and the medicine from the egg was stuck in me  so she had to literally clean it out with a swab !! I had a horrible experience with this product !! I don't recommend this product anyone"


"I was honestly so worried that I had Trichomoniasis until I read the difference between the vaginal discharge. I was so relieved to find out that it's a yeast infection(self diagnosed don't judge). I just started my Vagistat-3 day one about an hour ago and honesty I don't feel as bad of burning as I did. There still some itch but for the most part I can feel it starting to soothe my poor girl. Due to itching it was so swollen and sore. Now the swelling has definitely gone down some. THANK YOU VAGISTAT! (update tomorrow)"


"One of the only medications that allows me to function in a small way because of the bone disease I have (avascular necrosis) I need 6 joint replacements (hips, knees and shoulders). Without this medicine I can not clean eat or sleep without severe limits. "


"EMSAM greatly helped the depression and anxiety.  I had energy and a life again.  But I had insomnia very hard to treat.  I tried Ambien, Lunesta, Seroquel, Ativan and Trazodone but nothing helped.  My Psychiatrist suggested Chloral Hydrate.  "


"I took this pill about 3-4 hours after unprotected sex. He didn't finish inside me but me being paranoid, I got it anyway. About 1-2 weeks after taking this pill, I got spotting for over a week and it cut into when I was supposed to get my period (I'm not sure if that was my period or not.) About 3-4 weeks after unprotected sex, I took a pregnancy test just so I could relax and it came up negative. Now I counted my new cycle from when the spotting stopped and I was supposed to get it in 2 days but I just got it this morning! I usually have light periods but this one is heavy and painful. Overall, I am very grateful things turned out okay."


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar II  three and a half years ago. I have been on so many medications with not much luck. Lithium works fairly well to manage my mania. My deep depression has not been able to be managed. I have been on Vraylar for over 3 weeks and still feel unmotivated, depressed and don’t know how to fill my whole day. I had the nausea and restlessness. I take a medicine for the restlessness that seems to be working. I am just praying that this drug needs to just build up in my body. I need relief really soon. Going through life without happiness is so very very bleak. I am using the coupon and paying $15.00. I take 1.5 mg in the morning. This is my second time trying Vraylar and staying at the lower dose. 3mg caused my legs to give out."


"I was prescribed Latuda, and I only took it for about two weeks before begging to be switched to something else. It might have just been me, but it made me angry and uncomfortable all the time. Restless, pissed off, and definitely did not help my depression. I'm now taking Abilify and Seroquel and those seem to be helping a lot. I'm writing a review as a caution to those just starting: if you get raged out while on this medicine, SWITCH right away! This is not supposed to happen!"


"I bought this for a previous yeast infection and experienced the same results. Unbearable itching and burning. I have another yeast infection in the early stages and thought maybe catching it early will result in less severe symptoms from the Monistat. I was very wrong. Within a minute of applying and inserting the cream, I experienced that unbearable itching and burning again. I thought maybe it was a temporary feeling, so I toughed it out for a few minutes. No relief at all, so I got up and used the bathroom. Then sat in the shower until I could manage to get it all out. Monistat does not work at all. If anything, it's giving you a taste of an even worse pain so maybe the yeast infection doesn't seem as terrible. 0/10 would buy again"


"I was at Phase 3 of hypothyroidism and 150mg a day has halted all side effects of the disease eg., loss of hair, nails thinning, lethargy, etc."


"So I got nexplanon on July 21st 2014. I started bleeding days after implantation. I was on a constant period with a flow anywhere from medium to spotting. In January 2015 my doctor put me on two months of birth control pills to help stop the 'break through' bleeding and hopefully regulate or stop my period. The pills did stop my period for the time I took them, but now in May 2015 I'm back on a constant medium flow for the past 6 weeks. :(

On a positive note... My doctors' name is literally Dr. Pepper and she's awesome"


"I have taken Lexapro 20mg for two years now for anxiety and it has been great. I do feel tired through the day at times, but I gladly take that in comparison to panicking all day for no reason. This stuff can work if you give it a chance."


"This is a great drug but you have to be disciplined with it.  It's not a cure, only an aid.  Writing this review in April 2017, I've been on it for a month shy of ten years.  I started at 0.5 mg twice a day and that's the dose I'm still on.  You have to resist the urge to increase the dose and instead work on yourself.  There will be bad times...you just have to accept that and work to minimize them.

And don't drink on clonazepam.  It multiplies the effect of alcohol to an astounding degree and I find it to be extremely unpleasant.  Giving up drinking even socially wasn't hard, though when I refuse drinks people assume I'm a recovering alcoholic.  Even nursing a single bourbon and coke will get me pretty sloppy...it's just not worth it."


"I've never really considered this drug an anti-depressant and honestly did not think it was prescribed for such.  I have bipolar II disorder which means that I'm a rapid cycling manic-depressant (the non-politically correct term) but mainly have chronic depression.  I take this for PTSD, panic/anxiety attack, social anxiety disorder, and overall stress and anxiety.  It works well for all of the above."


"I found this medication online with some web searches during major migraine.

I asked my neurologist for a prescription and fortunately she agreed. She'd never heard of it before, so was hesitant. My insurance covers this a better price than other migraine abortants. It's my go to now. I highly recommend. Use as little water as possible, then rinse the cup with water and drink whatever residue. It works wonders and truly dosen't taste bad."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"57 years old woman. Began prep early.  If time allows, taper your pre test diet - you'll be GLAD you did! No red meat or fried foods 4 days before, chicken and veggies 3 days before, no meat, dairy or whole grains 2 days before, then only approved clear liquids day before as per Suprep instructions.

Filled prescription early and chilled thoroughly.  Took anti nausea meds 1 1/2 hours before I began drinking prep each time. Drank cold mixture as quickly as possible w straw then brushed my teeth. Chased with sips of cold water at a more comfortable pace. Finished within allotted time. Taste was not pleasant, but not so nasty as I feared. Lots of burping within 15 minutes. I experienced mild cramping as the potion began to do its job. Began to empty at the 1 hour mark. Cramping stopped with first bowel motion. Watery yellow stools continued almost nonstop for the first hour then tapered off, ending after 3 hours for a total of 4 hours from start to finish. I was able to rest until time for round two.

Took second chilled dose 10 hours later. Tasted worse, perhaps because my tongue recognized the taste. Felt bloated before I got halfway through so wasn't able to chug the prep this time; chased with all 32 oz of cold water. This made me so cold I had to find a sweater! No cramping this time, but more burping. Bright yellow liquid output began in less than an hour. Emptying and burping continued for an hour. 2 hours start to finish."


"You won't see results for about 2 months after you start taking it but be patient it works. You might have to refill 1-3 times and go about six months between them but it does works. It takes time. The first time it killed about 30% then the second time about 30% now on the third round almost gone."


"I have had diarrhea for the past 25 years. I also had my gall bladder removed in 2006 was running on 12 % for who knows how long. Quality of life socially was impaired by needing a bathroom w/o much of a warning at least 4 to 5 times a day. I would not go out in public for very long. And forget ever eating out! I tried everything over the counter and behind the counter and  sometimes both with little to no relief.  Finally my P/A  and I put our heads together and came up with Welchor.  it has been a big life changer. I am starting to do things that I haven't been able to do for quite some time.  it's been a big life changer for me. 4 months now,   3 x 625 mg twice daily.  No side effects as of yet.  52 yr/female."


"I have had depression and anxiety for several years, and have been on many anti-depressants and none have been as effective as Prozac has been for me. I was previously on Celexa and although it did help my depression it also made me gain a lot of weight. Since being ok Prozac though my appetite has went down tremendously and I feel amazing. I have never been this happy even before depression hit me."


"I have been on Contrave for one month. I have an uncontrollable craving for sweets. I have gained 2 #. I will try one more month and see if it gets any better. Very disappointed."


"This isn't a "feel good" drug. But it certainly alleviated my depression. I love that it doesn't come with too interfering a side effects. My mood has certainly changed for the better."


"I am 17 years old and I have had cystic acne since I was around 12. Just a week ago I started using taro-clindamycin alongside minocycline and retin-a cream. Within the first week of using these prescriptions my face is clearing right up, my skin does tend to get dry but once I wash my face it goes away. This has been a wonder drug, I hope it continues to boost the results!"


"Works very well at keeping my appetite under control also while taking topiramate psoriasis  almost completely went away about a month after I started taking this medication."


"I have taken two doses and it didn't work at all. Was it placebo? I have no idea. What happened was that I experienced strange psychotropic effects: lessened ability to judge distances, lessened ability to follow conversations, slower reading speed, headache, facial muscle spasm, clenching my jaw, and then a crying episode after 4-5 hours after the dose. At least I know it didn't cause my acne.

I am scared to try the higher dose after reading everyone's comments and the fact that my blood pressure runs low to begin with. And the fact that my stomach is prone to nausea."


"I just want to point out that every girl experiences different things with all types of birth control. About the pill Tri-Sprintec I've been on it for over a year and it's been great. I'm 19 and I got on it because my fiance and I became sexually active. I never had a regular period and this fixed it right up. It also got rid of my acne. I actually lost weight and went from 115 to 107. I have not gotten pregnant and I don't have mood swings. I do get a sweet tooth and a salt tooth sometimes. Before I start my period my breasts get tender and I get emotional but once I begin bleeding both are gone. I do want to say that if you  catch yourself craving more food just get some gum."


"I am totally happy with getting mine done! I have not had a period at all since getting it done in January 2015. I would recommend you having pains meds readily available before and after getting it done. It does hurt. I have some cramping every once in a while. But totally love it!"


"Okay, I would like to start off by saying that everybody's body is different and everyone reacts to things differently. Personally, I really like this birth control! I have always had an irregular period like I could literally go months without having a period and this fixed that and on top of that it has made me skin so much more clear than it already was and I'm not pregnant so that's all good! I didn't experience any weight gain, I did have some mood swings but that's basically it. so 10/10 would recommend."


"i have been suffering with a sinus infection for over 2 months. I was on Bactrin for 14 days , Predisone for 10days which  is a steroid which to allergy medicine used OTC sinus medicine then finally was given this med. After only one dose my sinus ,ear pain & sore throat cause by post nasal drip began to disappear. I did experience  some coughing the first time Ilaid down but guess what the mucus was not longer greenishyellow draining it was  super dark green. That was one serious infection! Tried & true believe me it worked for me. I had laryngitis for 2 months and two days after this medication my voice is back:) two thumbs up"


"After a long chronic stress my adrenals were "burnout" this medicine until now has worked great. The progression has been very slow but with satisfaction. The only side effect was upset stomach(have gone) and frequent urination (have been reduced)."


"When I first got the shot I skipped my first period and then had really light periods after that for a few months. Then my period started occurring more often. About 2 weeks of bleeding then 1 week off then bleed for 1 week then 1 week off or less then bleed for 2 weeks. Really weird! That occurred for a couple months. Then I started bleeding non stop for awhile. It was really light but who likes bleeding all the time. Finally at about 1 year of sticking it out. I now am back to skipping the first period after getting the shot and sometimes skip the second or sometimes light spotting. I do bleed a little heavier just before my next shot is due. Makes me think it's wearing of too soon. Had no other side effects though."


"This is the worst I have ever had. The I have been taking this for months since my insurance wouldn't cover the one I used to be on. My periods have been worst then ever. I have been breaking out which I have never had to deal with and now my period won't stop. I have contacted my Dr and asked to be changed immediately."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"If you are new to taking this medication or are currently on Warfarin, here are a few things to keep in mind:  (1) when you start this medication you will likely have a lot of acid - be sure to take Ranitidine but in half the dose most physicians will prescribe.  Zantac and other meds will change your body's PH and make you likely to get yeast & fungal infections   (2) there is no way to reverse the effects of Pradaxa which is a big issue if you are bleeding in a hospital's ER.  (3) Pradaxa is great when it comes to diet.  You can eat all the broccoli & vitamin K you want.  (4) Pradaxa does not require biweekly blood tests.  (5) Your joints will ache after 90 days on Pradaxa   (6) Vein pain is common."


"Take Dilaudid only when it's absolutely needed and necessary. It is not a drug meant for giving comfort, rather for pain level 7 or more on a scale of 1 to 10.  For pain level of 5 or less, morphine, Percocet, or even Tylenol 3 will suffice."


"The best medicine if you are taking then smartly. Helped me a lot but I was taking them for too long and too much (24mg per day) and at the end I went on detox."


"I've been taking this for almost 2 years now and I'd say it has helped me tremendously. I was on a few others before this and it just didn't work out."


"I have Lupus, and it's compromising my central and peripheral nervous system.  This left me with muscle spasms that were so bad I live in fear of them.  Soma eliminated this problem, but when the DEA told physicians to stop prescribing it, I became a victim of the war on drugs.  I am not a drug addict.  I'm a hard working American who doesn't deserve to be treated like this.  All this just happened in the last 6 months.  Soma worked for me and now I can't obtain it."


"Been on this medication a week on 5mg side affects at first we're headache and a bit of nausea even with food but each day gets better I was prescribed this for anxiety and it seems to be working I can hold conversation without feeling anxious!"


"Depo shot:
I want to start of by saying that I know birth control affects everyone differently. But I also feel that many girls aren't truly warned about the side affects. Before receiving the 3 month depo shot I had to sign a form for bone loss. But I did not have to sign a form about all the side effects that plagued me while on this shot, and for months after.
An hour after receiving the depot shot I experienced my first panic attack. Extreme fear, nausea, choking, sweating all out of nowhere. Then it happened again several hours later. I took the shot only once. It's been six months since I received the shot and I'm now having another panic attack. No one actually tells you that the depot shot remains in your system for up to 18 months.
This doesn't even come close to the worst of it.
A month after my depo shot I started my period. My period went from July to October NONSTOP. Continual flow, every day, for five months. It finally stopped when I ate a bunch of fresh ground flax seeds (they have estrogen in them, which helps repair uterine lining - depo is progesterone which thins the uterine lining).
I only received one shot and my life has been affected for six months and counting.
It's amazing that my relationship survived the depot shot. I had/have an amazing man by my side who knew none of this was my fault and supported me the whole way. But I truly could not have judged him if he left - depo was horrible for our relationship.
Please, please decide if these risks are worth it before you take this shot. You can't remove it from your body, but you can stop taking the pill if you react negatively."


"I have been taking Activella for 4 months now.  It immediately alleviated hot flashing and anxiety/nervousness/irritability.  However, I think it is beginning to cause headaches. I've also had scalp acne which started when I was taking a generic form of Activella, but seems to be clearing now that I'm taking the actual brand name of the drug.  Also, have noticed I am more emotional (tear up in a second) on this medicine.  In the last month or so, I have become increasingly clumsy, dropping things I'm holding. Will update on this in 2 months."


"I think Trulicity may have been responsible for my husband's death. He died within 3 months of his first use of this product. Became sick the very first day of his first injection."


"After reading all the previous reviews of Amitiza I felt compelled to add my experience. The first morning I took it with a meal and plenty of water and went to work. Mistake!  Jeff Foxworthy jokes about the side effects of certain medications, like fecal incontinence. I can assure you it's no laughing matter when it happens to you. Within 1 1/2 hrs. it began. My stomach was full of gas, and I was worried sick all day about not knowing when my issue would start. That evening I took my second dose and about three hours later had leakage on my sheets. I had just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and was put on Synthroid. The combination of my age, Synthroid and Amititiza=fecal incontinence according to the "eHealthMe" website."


"Fluoxetine/prozac 20mg for depression/anxiety.

Within 4 hours of taking it at 4pm I truely felt better by 8 pm and happier not sure it was the meds at first or believing it to be working?,had done a lot research before taking it positives and negatives so have an open mind about prozac,certainly felt better quickly after initail dose!.

First 2 weeks slight headaches,bit spaced initially,groggy,dry mouth,difficult concentrate,but I did feel like this whilst depressed!

Now 3rd week its kicked in after 2 weeks and I feel calmer relaxed able to think clearly not foggy mind feel focused happier motivated.

This drug has dealt with anxiety&depression,100%,I was worrying everything,sleep is OK now,no sexual dysfunction yet!.

Good luck."


"I was on Lantus Solostar and Metformin twice daily max dosage.  Sugar counts were still 300 and 200.  I was so frustrated because the insulin and supplies are extremely expensive with my HSA plan.  Basically, my problem did not improve and I was broke.  I ran out of insulin and did not have the money to refill.  My dr's apt was three weeks later.  I explained my low funds situation and promised to fill the Rx as soon as I received my next pay check.  She said "Let's try a cheaper option for you".  I said "Woo hoo! Let's!".  She prescribed Glimeperide.  I took a half pill for days 1 and 2.  No change.  I took the entire pill days 3 & 4...better...but not much.  I take two pills daily now, and I see IMPROVEMENT! WOO HOO!"


"All I can say for sure is that I have not had a full outflopping on the floor seizure in almost a year, since being put on Vimpat. If I happen to forget a dose, I get very twitchy by that afternoon. So, with Vimpat, no seizures. Without Vimpat, I seize! Works great for me!"


"Levoxyl has given me my life back.  I did not do well on Synthroid or generics."


"Drop my sugar levels from more than 300 ml to almost normal levels. Other drugs only lowered a 100 ml. No side effects. It's has been a blessing"


"I have ADHD and am 27 years old.  I have been using Strattera for four months. The first month I was taking too much and made me really sleepy. After spliting the two 40mg up that worked well.  People around me that didn't know I was taking anything said I seemed more relaxed and easygoing.  "


"Did not help enough plus  terrible side effects..."


"I gained 30 pounds within 6 months of starting Jolessa. I gave been working out and eating even healthier, yet, my weight just keeps ^^^^^^^^^!!! As well as constant cramping and spotting. :("


"I  switched  from  Victoza to  Trulicity  because  of  nausea. But, when  I  stopped  the  victoza, I  realized  that  nausea  was  the  least  of  my  side  effects. I  had  been  having  pain  in  my  hands  and  wrists  so  bad  that  I  was  sent  for  testing  to  see if I  had  carpal  tunnel  or  neuropathy. My  hands  stayed  so  cold  that  I  was  wearing  compression  gloves  all  day  at  work. When  I  stopped  the  victoza, the  pain  stopped  completely .  Now  I  am  on  Trulicity  and  am  having  horrible  muscle  pain  in  my  shoulder, arm  and  down  to  my  left  hand .  I  have  spent  a  fortune  on  chiropractic  care  and  massage  therapy. I  am  at  a  loss  on  what  to  do ."


"I was diagnosed with a MRSA Impetigo skin infection and was prescribed the Bactrim DS as well as Bactroban ointment, therefore I cannot know which helped the most, but it did work 95%. I stll have a pink area and the original cut that started this all is still slightly visible. This oral med made me feel horrible. Everyday, after the third day, I was nauseous about an hour after taking it and several times had to take Zofran 8mg which did help.  My stomach was a roller coaster and the headaches were really bad.  I have Daily Chronic Headache which is daily migraines. But I get C spine nerve ablations which allows me to be 90% migraine free for about 1 year. During the 10 days the migraines came back and with a vengence. Glad to be done."


"Update! I have been on Belviq for 3 weeks and I have lost 9lbs! I am ecstatic and so happy this is working for me! Next weigh in is Feb 2nd! I will update then! There is a light at the end of the tunnel!"


"I was taking a combination of Geodon and Lamictal for about a month and a half. My mood was better at first, but after a few weeks it seemed to lose its effectiveness. It made me extremely drowsy and made my thoughts clouded. My mood got so bad that I ended up being hospitalized. Within days of being off of this medicine my mental clarity and energy returned."


"I am on Prozac, Wellbutrin, and Topamax for severe depression. I was still having depressive episodes and was placed on 2mg of Abilify. I instantly felt like a new person - what a relief! The "honeymoon" period wore off fairly quickly and I had to find my correct therapeutic dose at 20mg daily. With this combination of medicines I have been depression free for about a year! For me this is very unusual and I highly recommend Abilify. I have had no side effects."


"I've been taking this for about 4 mths as needed it works fine for me for my anxiety I've tried Paxil which made me feel like a zombie and pretty much out of it I hated it hate taking meds but this has helped me curb my anxiety"


"Started taking 60 mg in the morning for 9 days and then increased the dosage to 80 mg for major depression along with anxiety.  The main effects I felt were extreme agitation, irritation, and anger.  It was next to impossible to concentrate on anything.  My body and brain were very restless.  Realizing that antidepressants take some time before they reach full effect, I tried my best to push myself to stay on it to see if I experienced any improvements.  I didn%u2019t.  So, after 5 weeks, I stopped taking it."


"I used Advair before but after a while (and one fast-acting inhaler use), I was prescribed Singulair. I have not once had to worry about asthma in over 8 years."


"Tastes gross, definitely chill it first. Also, taking sips of ginger ale after each gulp helps. Felt a little nauseous at first, that subsided, not as quickly in round 2.

Took about 15 mins to kick in the 1st round, 10 for round 2. Round 2 in progress. Seems to be rooting the roto as promised."


"I took Bydureon for a little over 4 months. The results were disastrous. My A1c went up over 2 points, I had constant hunger, I was tired more than normal. It was extremely expensive. I had Pea sized lumps and red spots at the injection sites. I felt like I got some bad advice."


"I have had no problem  with medication  .. work great I lost lbs ... and love it ...."


"Keppra alone did not do anything for me except make me depressed and have "Keppra rage".  I was up to 1500mg 2x a day and would still have a grand mal about every 4 months and absence seizures in between.  My neuro switched me to Topamax, Depakote and everything else but would break out in rashes or have horrible diarrhea and every other side effect.  Back to Keppra I am 2000mg 2x a day (400mg a day total) now, weighing 175 (hell of a dose) and got put on Lamictal as well up to 100mg 2x a day of that.  1 month since addition of Lamictal and higher dose of Keppra and no seizure yet.  We shall see."


"I used the Nuvaring for 3 months before (it was just a sample supply) and I loved it. I was not on insurance at the time and couldn't afford to continue to use it. I have been on the Nuvaring again for about 3 months. I mostly love it. I have gained about 6lbs (from 110 to 116) in that three months. I also gained a cup size and my breasts are CONSTANTLY sore/tender. I also have been experiencing hard/cystic like breakouts mainly on my jaw line but also a few times on my cheeks. They are incredibly painful and don't pop well and just turn into big sores that itch and hurt. I wish that part would go away, because aside from that I LOVE my Nuvaring."


"I've taken Effexor for 7 years, in a dosage that has decreased from 225mg to 75 mg over the last 2 years.  While I had some benefit with depression I experienced side effects from Effexor. I experienced short term memory loss, problems concentrating, blurry vision, weight gain, sweating, and dry mouth.  I cannot drink at all on the medication, since it exacerbates the memory and mental focus problems enormously, even at one glass of wine."


"35 years old, w heavy periods. I've had my IUD for 4 months and  I love it!
Perk #1: My obamacare covered 100% of it. My health insurance has never covered my pills. $20 a mo? NO MORE. I just saved over $1200!
Perk #2: No more pills! And super effective birth control! And zero hassle.
Perk #3: I spotted for a month. Now I'm super light periods & only a few minor cramps just before bleeding. Saving a ton of $ on tampons. And I can use REGULAR tampons now! No more ultras!
Insertion felt like someone gave me a big pinch. Then it was over. 1st 2 weeks were uncomfortable. My weight, mood and complexion remain unaffected. I've been on almost every type of BC at 1 point or another. Hands down this is the BEST. Wish I'd done it years ago."


"This was my first birth control I've ever had. My skin was clear but once I started taking this I had the worst acne. I was bloated, went from a size 3 to 7 within a week. I was nauseous, my breast were tender and swollen. My appetite increased. The only good thing about it was it increased my sex drive. I switched to Ortho Tricylen Lo and I actually liked it but the only thing is it decreased my sex drive. Now I'm on Aubra since Planned Parenthood doesn't have it anymore, so far no side effects."


"I've experienced exactly what others are commenting on here. I was fine on Junel then Gildess then was switched to Blisovi. I've almost finished my 2nd pack and will be switching to Minastrin after talking to my obgyn. I'm up 8-lbs since started, the waist in my pants are extremely tight, breast tenderness, i had a rash on my hip/abdomen for the first few weeks, and i get extremely nauseous in the mornings and evenings. I've also had breakthrough bleeding, but that is probably more my fault- it happens if i forget to take a pill before work and don't get to take it until that evening. Overall I can't wait to be off of this medication and I hope the new one I try doesn't give me crazy side effects, but you never know until you've tried it."


"My Dr. prescribes this for me every fall/winter.  I get a cold, it turns into bronchitis and then I can't sleep or function normally due to the horrible coughing.  I take it about an hour before I go to bed and I sleep like a baby, no coughing and wake up refreshed and ready to go.  Side effect is I feel a little groggy until around 11 am but that's not a big deal for me when you aren't coughing and able to sleep."


"I was hospitalized on November 26, 2014 for Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. I honestly thought my life had come to an end. They gave me Lexapro 20mg. It took 2-3 months for me to really feel the effects of the drug, but it works. As far as levels of anxiety is concerned, I am very doubtful the level of anxiety I had is one easily surpassed. It was nonstop, 24/7, perpetual burning sensation in my chest, ears, and extremities which had no underlying physiological cause. For anyone who is suffering from severe depression and anxiety who think there is no where left to turn, I URGE you to try this drug. Escitalopram may SAVE your life."


"I definitely recommend sticking to a low-fiber, light diet a few days prior to. I also drank at least 64oz of water before the prep too. The taste of prep honestly isn't has bad as I anticipated. I used a straw to drink it, didn't smell it and had it all finished in under 10 minutes. It kind of tasted like flat grape soda to me. It was a bit difficult drinking the 32oz of water in an hour after finishing the prep drink. It kicked in around the 45 minute mark for me having to go the bathroom. No cramps, headache and very minor rumbling in my stomach. I was pretty much all cleaned out within 2 hours after, going to the bathroom about every 30 minutes. I think my diet and hydration were what made all of this so much easier."


"I have chronic pain from a broken arm and two surgeries last year.  I've tried EVERYTHING - this is the only non-narcotic medicine that has worked for me. The only negative is that it doesn't have a generic equivalent and my insurance doesn't cover it. That's a pretty big negative. "


"Wish I had seen these reviews earlier.  Have been on Exforge 5/160 for 2 years, recently upped to 10/160.  It has brought my blood pressure down. Knew the side effects of the cough, and I can deal with it.  I didn't know why I was tired all the time, and became anxious when I had that "heavy" feeling, with the tingling.  Saw these reviews and asked the doctor about it and he admitted that it may be what was causing my problems.  Now that I know what is causing it, I feel much better about it."


"I am updating my previous two posts from 1/19/17 and 2/16/17. I have quit taking Contrave. I developed a very high pitched ringing in my ears. It sounded like millions of crickets. I don't know if this was a coincidence but I've been off the medication for a week now and the noise has stopped. I tapered all the way up to 4 pills and then tapered all the way back down to none. I did not lose any weight. When I became hungry I became voraciously hungry and it was hard to get satisfied. It did stop cravings but did NOT curb hunger, I repeat DID NOT CURB HUNGER. Contrave is also very expensive and wasn't covered by my insurance. It cost me $93/mo. I see the doc on 3/8/17 and will try another avenue to get this weight off."


"* Reminder, everyone's experience is different and you won't know how this medication works for you until you try it.*

I'm 18 and used to suffer from severe social and general anxiety, and mild depression. I've had a bad past with antidepressants but I decided to try Paxil (20mg) because I was desperate. My anxiety is 95% gone, I'm wanting to be more social, and I'm happy all of the time! I don't worry anymore and it's amazing. There are some side effects (which were terrible the first week but reduced with time); headaches, reduced libido, tiredness, smaller apetite {I'm thankful for this one}, and insomnia.

Paxil works amazing for my anxiety and I'm so happy I tried it. I'm making new friends and I think I'll secure a job soon :)."


"Before taking Effexor XR I was suicidal, crying all the time and very depressed. I have now been on it for 13 years. I love it. I feel "normal". only side effects I've had are weight gain and chronic constipation. Due to my insurance not covering it anymore I now have to switch to Zoloft. I sure hope the Zoloft works as good as the Effexor XR did."


"The first day I put the ring in, I had extremely bad cramps. I thought it was normal due to the fact that it was new. These cramps were followed by such severe abdominal pain I was not able to walk or drive for a period of time. Shortly after, I began having pain in my leg that would not go away. I have been on the ring a month now and my LEG PAIN is still there. I have serious feelings of depression, no appetite, nausea after eating, and NO ENERGY! I can barely make it 6 hours into the day before I need to lie down. After reading about the life threatening blood clots the leg pain may lead to, I decided to take it out. Although it works, it is not worth the pain."


"I took a full pill the first day, which was stupid, as I'm very sensitive to medication. I felt like I was on speed. I was talking really fast, my hands were shaking, my heart was beating a million miles an hour, felt like an anxiety attack. I also got a horrible headache and nausea later in the day. I didn't take it again for a month and then I cut the pill into quarters. For a week I took 37.5 mg a day. I got a few headaches, dizziness and nausea through the day, but tolerable. 3 days ago I upped it to 75mg. I still don't feel any help with sleepiness! Still am dizzy, headaches, nausea, lack of appetite. But I'm going to wait it out and keep upping it to 150 and see if it ever starts working. Hopefully the side effects go away soon!"


"Yesterday at noon I noticed the bump and that soggy skin feeling. It was beyond the tingle stage and the white pistule was visible already. Found the valocyclovir in the medicine cabinet, and took the pills. I could see notable improvement by 6 hours after I took the first two. I will note that it did seem to give me a pretty bad headache, and I don't normally get headaches ever. It is now 30 hours after my initial dose, and 18 hours after the second 2 gram dose, and the sore is almost gone. Literally a miracle for me."


"I've been on various BC pills over the years and this was the worst. I was on this pill for over a year and gained more than 40lbs. I even put weight on in my face! What's worse is how long it took me to realize how much weight I had put on because it sent me spiraling into uncontrollable depression & I stopped caring about almost everything. After my first year I started having a "period" 2 weeks into the pack which only consisted of extreme cramping and some brown discharge for a few days. Around the time I started having a period mid pack my migraines got out of control & I had them controlled for years. I've been working out 7 days a week for months and changed my already decent diet and have put on 15 more lbs. I can't wait to change!"


"I have IBS, hiatal hernia and diverticulosis. Sometimes linzess does not work I have to take stool softners everyday to have relief."


"I've been on nexplanon for 2yrs and 9 months(03/2013). It has been the worst mistake ever. I've had sore breasts, bad acne, extremely weight gain, severe headaches, no sex drive, blurred vision, and constantly hungry.  I just had it removed 12/9/15. I couldn't take any more. When I got it removed I felt something lift up off of me. I feel like a new person. The breast soreness went away instantly. The only thing I see good with it is no periods and I didn't get pregnant. I didn't have that many symptoms with the implanon which I had for 3 yrs before getting this one. But to each his own. This is my experience but everybody different."


"I got thwe Nexplanon back in September of this year. The first month was hell no joke. I had signs of being pregnant, took 5 pregnancy test all negative. Now almost two months later I have been on my period for almost 2 weeks. My husband is going crazy and so am I. Ever since I got this thing my aniexty has been worse. I freak out over little things. As soon as I can pay off my OB I'm getting it out!"


"After I started taking this medicine I got Restless Leg Syndrome - when I went off of the medicine it went away.
I was always tired while taking the medicine. When I quit, I got dizzy twice and fell within the first week after I stopped taking it."


"Without this medication I wouldn't still be doing my dream job of working with animals (a very tough job even for a healthy person). Before I was prescribed this I tried every single other medication there was without success!"


"You can use ultram to detox yourself from harder stuff like OXY or H. I used it before for withdrawal symptoms and it worked great. In case ur ever withdrawing bad and have some it will help."


"I am on my first three month pack I started taking them to have fewer periods. During week 5 I started spotting if thats what you'll call it and I am on week six and still spotting. If I had known I would be having an endless period I would have never stared taking them considering my periods were short anyway. On the plus side my skin does look a little better. If this doesnt get better by the time I am finished with this pack I dont think I'm going to start another pack."


"Consistently effective to prevent daytime onset of cluster headache if taken between 5-6AM if prodromal. Works for approximately 22 hours at 2.5 mg single dose. Cost of 1 pill is now prohibitive at more than $50. Generic naratriptan 2.5 mg as Naratrex can be purchased overseas for 53 cents!"


"At the start, after 2 injections, I was 99.5% cured, then the NHS decided to stop my treatment on the retirement of my Dr , in 5 weeks, the Psoriosis returned, worse than it had ever been, after 8 weeks still no treatment forth coming, my whole body was burning red hot & 75% scaley,  had an injection 3 months ago, 99.9% of my body had cleared of Psoriosis in 2 months, I am due my next one next week, the NHS is holding it back again, I am dreading what is going to happen to me & my body if i don't get the next injection."


"I did the Suprep last night.  The dose with added water followed by 2 16 ounce bottles of water were tough to get down.  The taste wasn't as bad as I expected and using a straw really helped.  But that was just too much liquid in a short period of time. I was so nauseous I had to lie down to keep from vomiting.  I called my doctor to see if I could take anything for the nausea and he suggested I spread out the second dose and water by starting an hour and a half earlier than planned and just drinking slowly. That worked really well for me.  No nausea but it did extend the toilet time a bit.  I got very little sleep but by the time I went to my appointment I was confident that I was completely cleaned out and the doctor confirmed that."

"There is not one birth control method you can find that doesn't have complaints.  All the complaints are the same too.  I have tried Nuva Ring, Ortho, and the Mirena which all of them were a thumbs down for me.  I have been on Tri-Sprintec for a month now and this is the best fit.  I've had no stomach issues (and I have a phobia of nausea and vomiting).  I have to say my biggest complaint would be the bloating in my stomach.  My stomach and my hunger have increased. I can't completely say it's the pill because I've also quit smoking and I've replaced food for my smoking habit.  My acne has been pretty bad...like super huge bumps everywhere.  My mood is here and there which is sort of normal for me anyway.  I like the pill overall though."


"Been on Lexapro for about 3 weeks after a bad break up. First week was bad, usual side effects. But the past week things have settled down. I feel like I can function at work better. Before that I was totally useless. I still need to address some emotional issues but now I can see some light...Am waiting for the full effects to kick in SOON."


"I had the skyla inserted after my mirena fell out after a year. I personally like the skyla and as pp stated take a pain reliver before going I took something and still felt pain but not as bad. I've also noticed that I'm full quicker so I'm eating a lot less. The only thing that I don't like is that I've been seeming to have a little more depression not sure of this is a side effect but I'm going to keep an eye on it"


"It has helped me stabilize my moods. No so yo-yo any more its more of a even kiln."


"Felt a bit strange after the first pill but thought maybe it was because it was working.Took the second pill and felt poisoned.I felt awful and finally had violent bouts of being sick to my stomach. My heart also raced.Not worth it."


"First time user. Was having a slight deep cough, which alone would've been fine but it was accompanied with shortness of breath, wheezing and tightness in my chest (common asthma symptoms). I haven't had this problem in years so I asked a pharmacist. She recommended this and one dose made a huge difference.  The tightness went away and the breathing got so much better. Even the slight cough was productive now.  Definitely recommend this to anyone with the same symptoms."


"I got the implant about a month ago so haven't had it that long, but for the month I've had it I love it!!! Don't have to remember a pill everyday, haven't experienced any weight gain, maybe a few mood swings just my body adjusting to the hormones going through my body. Wasn't on any birthcontrol before hand. I started my period about 28-30 days a normal cycle after the initial insertion of the implant. I bruised a little bit but nothing major. All in all I love it my period only lasted 3 days I had mostly cramping and no bleeding I can really deal with this bc for 3 years...."


"I had back surgery 6 months ago, three discectomies, and a rod and five screws implanted. While it is stated it is not approved for spinal use, I have found Voltaren extremely beneficial. While I still have pain in the neighborhood of an 8 out of 10, I feel that it would always be a 10 without Voltaren. Many thanks to my PA for recommending it."


"I was having severe acne on my cheeks and had to see a dermatologist. The following was my treatment plan: Aczone cream in the morning and Epiduo at night. I was also given Doryx pills to take in the morning. My skin immediately started to get very dry but I used Cetaphil moisturizer. I also used Cetaphil foam face wash twice a day. I only had some very slight burning the first 2 weeks. My acne was so bad I wanted to cry and hide my face from everyone but my doctors treatment plan worked great and I am so happy."


"I have been getting Remicade infusions for 4 1/2 years.  I went into remission within a week of my first infusion. My only side effects I have are headaches and some chest pain off and on.  But considering how my life was before Remicade I can handle it for now."


"Many of us opt for cosmetics and other products to get rid of acne residues. There are many home remedies which have proven their effects on lightening these skin marks. Tomato and Lemon Juice: Take a %u201Cfresh tomato%u201D and make its paste. Mix it well with one tablespoon of lemon juice. Apply the paste on face for around 20 minutes and rinse it off gently with water after 20 minutes. Pulp of Aloe Vera: Let the pulp from Aloe Vera dry for 5 minutes in sun. Add 6-8 drops of lemon juice to it and apply on the affected area and face for 15 minutes. Onions: Cut the onion into small pieces. Grind those pieces and separate the juice from the residue.

"I am diagnosed bipolar with psychotic features and I started taking this medication in 2009 when I first got hospitalized after I found out I was "allergic" to Abilify. Geodon was like a miracle. It took away all of the voices and visual hallucinations that I would experience and it worked for a very long time with no side effects which was perfect but just recently last December to be exact it just stopped working. So now I am being weened off the Geodon and am being put on Saphris. Hopefully it will work just as well as the Geodon it has been a hard couple of months including a hospitalization and 2 bouts of IOP. Geodon was great with little if any side effects but hopefully it will last longer for you than it did for me."


"Crushed mania fast on 2000 mg/d and currentyl stable on this dose"


"This is what my doctor gave me. It was better then just going with out the medicine - it is a shot given by your doctor or nurse once a month below your belly button, it hurt but only for a second and it did leave little dot scars from where the needle went. I had treatment for 6 months and didn't have any signs of endometriosis  but the down fall is that you do gain weight from the medicine. When I started I gained almost 20 pounds and I tried to maintain it during treatment. Doctor said it's easier to wait until after treatment is over, then work on your weight. Zoladex does work."


"I have been on Gilenya for 5 weeks with minimal side effects. Had some nausea the first 5 days and took meclizine over the counter and it quickly resolved. Due to the MS I was dizzy and felt like I was pitching forward when driving and going down steps. I am not nearly as dizzy and the feeling of falling forward is much less. I hated the Copaxone injections which began making dents in my thighs not to mention the pain, itching and swelling at the injection site."


"I have sjogrens and subcutaneous lupus, i took this drug 10 years ago no side effects but really no effect, i tried it again 10 years later huge difference and not in a good way, severe nausea and dry heaves, no energy could stay in bed all day, complete weakness , now that I've gone off of it 4 days ago  still extreme nausea , I've lost 35 pounds, and was told by pharmacist 2 months to no longer be nauseated. The other immune drugs have scary side effects almost worth waiting for a flare and dealing with steroids then the side effects of the  immune suppressants and  plaquinel name brand and generic not worth the constant feeling of vomiting there has to be something that works without major life threatening side effects."


"Rash, dry eye, dry mouth, dry skin, sore tongue and throat, cramps."


"Started to Tivicay and Epzicom on May 6th. Viral load was 200,000 and CD4 was 208. After 6 weeks my viral load was 367 and CD4 was 337. Doctor said it was working very well and I don't have to go back for Labs until September.  The first 2-3 weeks were pretty rough with diarrhea, headaches and very low energy, but I'm feeling a bit better now. I was freaked out that the test did not come back as undetectable, but I asked my expert doctors and they said my results have been superb so far. I think people get hung up on being undetectable very quickly. If you start with a high viral load above say 100,000 it can take a few months to reach undetectable."


"Trying for years in the US to find something that worked for my daughter. Hers is so bad it really fills the room  and now it's totally gone. We are so grateful ."


"Please be sure to have the intrathecal pump CATHETER x-rayed if you are having NO benefit whatsoever. The catheter may be kinked since insertion."


"Waste of time. Coughing increased. Doctor proscribed Qvar with Combivent; increased sputum along with green-black BB-size grease-balls.

Waste of time!"


"I was prescribed 800mg Ibuprofen and Vicodin when I had foot surgery. The 800mg ibuprofen did nothing for the pain in my foot but it worked wonders for my menstrual cramps. Vicodin was the only thing that helped during my surgery."


"Two big toes infected, 1 year and > 10 years. Whole nail rotting on both.
One month on Jublia so far. Looking clear now, and just need to see how they grow out. The first week of Jublia my feet were immersed in water many hours a day in neoprene booties while kayaking.  I think that helped to kill the fungus, and allowed the medication to deeply penetrate the nail. I also used a pedicure tool to keep all areas of the cuticle and under the nail clean. I put the medication on once a day, never missing a day, after a good soak in water."


"Dose = 120 mg.  I take it 2 hours before bed with gabapentin.  I now sleep well.  The racing thoughts are gone.  My worries are gone.  The only side effects I have noticed.  I do not urinate upon waking in the morning.  I do not get erections for no reason.  No dreams that is a good thing.  My insurance did not want to pay for it.  Psychiatrist sent a letter.  Now it is covered."


"Terrible pill.   Depressed, lethargic, moody, snappy, no appetitie but weight gain some how, constipation, white bumps on skin....nothing positive to report except that a little less dry than usual.  Not worth it though"


"I had surgery almost a week ago and the pain medication gave me some insane constipation. I sent my girlfriend to the drug store to find a fast acting laxative. When she got there she asked the pharmacist what the best option was and they suggested magnesium citrate. I am glad they did. I needed immediate relief. He directed me to drink just about half and it should work within an hour. Well I threw it back and though it was definitely over an hour it worked! Highly recommend this product. I'm actually still sitting here..Making sure it's all out. Once I got my first movement out of the way there was no stopping the rest. Amazing."


"I wanted to share my experience with Kariva because I've been on it so long, 11 years. Pros include no weight gain, minimal mood swings, minimal bloating and shorter periods. Also some contraceptives can cause complications with getting pregnant when you actually Want to but this pill was effective when I used it and caused no issues when my husband and I decided to have a baby and stop using the pill. Took me two weeks to get pregnant. The only bad thing was awful debilitating migraines I dealt with for years that only stopped once I got off this pill. But it got me this far and I liked it better then a lot of other options."


"Hi everyone! I remember coming to these reviews the first time I took plan b so I thought I'd share my experience. I'm 18 years old 95 pounds and not on any format of birth control. I took plan B for the first time about 2 months ago after I had sex for the first time. We used a condom for most of it but there was about a 45 second time period were we did not have it on. I got really scared afterwards because I got sick the day after we had sex. Being that I'm young I assumed I was getting pregnant or something so I got plan b about 40 ish hours after sex. I took it and felt no symptoms honestly and I thought this meant it wasn't working but a few days later I got my period."


"This antibiotic made my heart race so much that I didn't sleep the first night. Called my doctor the next day and he changed the medicine because that side effect wasn't one that I could live with."


"I had one injection of Enbrel in the Dr. office two weeks ago it did such a great job on my knees there was no pain, no swelling I felt normal for a change, I could not believe this drug could do so well. I will finally be starting my weekly injections tomorrow. Boy am I ready! The side effects scare me a little now that I have read these reviews."


"Works pretty well for depression, usually at the other side of the coin if you've tried something like Celexa or Lexapro.  Helps to lose the weight that was gained by using the others.  Can cause initial sleep trouble, however."


"This used to be my medicine of choice for chronic pain, and while it worked great, I didn't feel impaired. The FDA removed this medicine from the market. Now I need to find another medicine that will work, for my chronic pain."


"Works very well controlling my racing thoughts and exceptionally well helping me sleep."


"I was prescribed Pyridoxine (VItamin B6) 25 mg for nausea during pregnancy and I am absolutely amazed. I honestly didn't think it was going to work and not only does it work, but it doesn't cause drowsiness so I am a happy camper! I give the medicine a 9 rating."


"Age 54, Stage 3 Double mastectomy, chemo and radiation (last dose 12/31/14) and now I am starting year two on Anastrazole. Joint pain, hands numb/painful upon awakening, long bone pain. I have wrestled with stopping this medication because of the severity of the side effects until I got on a study for a testosterone/anastrazole implant. I know I did not get the placebo per the return of libido, reduced vaginal dryness and reduced pain. here is the initial study:  http://www.ascopost.com/issues/october-15,-2014/testosteroneanastrozole-implants-relieve-menopausal-symptoms-in-breast-cancer-survivors.aspx"


"LOVE this BCP. It's the *only* one I've tried that didn't make my hair fall out, didn't make me feel bloated, didn't make me swell, and didn't ruin my skin. My libido isn't dampened half as much as it was on other BCPs (it was non-existent on other BCPs). It helps immensely with PCOS symptoms. At first it made me a little tired, but by the middle of week 2 I was fine. :) Love it.
My insurance charged me $ for this drug, but that's against the ACA- there's no generic for this drug, and it was RX'd as medically necessary so it should have been covered at $0 copay. The issue is currently being investigated."


"I was prescribed this to mainly clear up some clogged pores on on my forehead and around my nose. I have been using it for a little less than 1 month and my forehead has really improved... However, around my mouth, upper lip, and nose I am breaking out worse than I ever have before (my mouth area was never a problem before) in little bumps that are super annoying and just keep coming!! I am getting frustrated and am losing hope because I do not understand why this is happeneing. It seems to be getting worse and worse each day in these areas but I hope as I stay on the medication longer things will start to improve..I know some people experience an initial 'purge' where their skin gets worse before improving and i hope this is all it is"


"I have been on this medication now for 11 days and appear to be very lucky as have no side effects but the only thing I am encountering is I don't seem to be losing weight, even thought I have cut out all the sweets, cakes, bread etc .  Maybe it is the medication. I was doing great before I started.... Anyone esle had this experience."


"Great to be able to stand-up without constantly feeling faint"


"I've had dermatitis off and on all my life and tried everything.  Some medications would give some relief, but nothing ever cleared it up.  I'm now in my late 60's and my hands had gotten so bad I went back to the doctor.  I was given a sample tube of Eucrisa and put a light coat on my hands just before I went to sleep.  There were no side effects, and I couldn't really tell it was on my hands.  The next day, the rash was better and the itching had stopped completely!  I usually woke up clawing at the itchy rash, and I'm sure I even scratched in my sleep. It's been four days now, and it is still improving.  To me, this is a miracle drug, and my only complaint is the expense.  I will manage to fill the prescription, though.  It's worth it."


"I've been on this pill for a little over a year. I have had no issues with it. My sex drive has increased. I have some cravings a week before my period but that isn't bad. My acne has decreased."


"Switched from Androgel to Axiron 3 weeks ago as total T levels slipped back into low range. Effects were immediate and noticeable. Great workouts, better mood, more energy, increased libido and truly major physical changes! I'm 50 years old and for the first time in my life I have a lean, flat stomach and without changing my workout at all. My weights at the gym have increased by about 20%. I do 45 mins of lifting, 30 mins of cardio 4-5 times a week. In three weeks, my body has changed completely and people are noticing! Go back to Dr. in 3 weeks to check levels....so far, it's been amazing for me."


"Trinza and Invega Sustenna have been the only medication that has worked for me. I had almost no symptoms for a year which was great. I don't know if my schizophrenia is getting stronger or if the medication is losing its effectiveness. I had to add a second antipsychotic (Latuda 40 mg) to manage the emerging voices and delusions. I'm giving this a 9 because it gave me the year I needed to put myself back together to be ready. The side effects I've had were only pacing back and forth and shaking my leg."


"Takes you out of the dark hole."


"I was perfectly happy on Invokana, then my insurance stopped covering it and my Dr put me on Farxiga to try.   oh my gosh, thought I would die, it did not work on me at all. It gave me a yeast infection the first day, sugar stayed high for hours after meals, could barely pee, it made my heart race, and i felt horrible, horrible, horrible. So now I have to try Jardiance, I cant imagine it being worse than Farxiga, I sure hope I am able to pee with this medication."


"I use it for social anxiety and continuous thoughts, it works well and now I am far away from continuously thinking about things which are of no importance, but it makes me dizzy too, taking it for months 0.5 mg at night with 0.5 mg alprazolam at day time and 20 mg escitalopram."


"I was on Solodyn for about 6 months - the amount of time an acne medication is supposed to take to give you clear skin. While on it, I still had frequent whiteheads on a daily basis. Once off of it, I noticed more pimples popping up, but still - it didn't even get me anywhere close to having clear skin. I'm still looking for better medications. I have been dealing with this for two years and no solution yet."


"I am at the end of my first pack of Lo-Seasonique. I am contemplating restarting another pack. I saw no improvement..I would bleed for 3 weeks straight. So much for my sex live. On the 5th week I started a flow like a regular period which lasted for 2 weeks. I am getting the exact opposite of what the pill is indicated for; which is supposed to give you a period at the end of the pack making it 4 periods per year. Instead I have more than tripled that, if I continue taking it. Everyone is different. It might work for some and not for others. I am still bleeding and cramping. I quit, I will go back to my old birth control."


"I'm 20 with no children. Have had Mirena for a month. Bad cramping when inserted and the whole day after. No cramping since. Started my period shortly after, was significantly lighter than normal. I've been spotting every day since though. A bit annoying but it should go away. Got a little acne but it's almost gone, and I've been more irritable than usual."


"I had the same experience, it was unprotected and he did not pull out on time, and after he pulled out it came out right on the surface, I got really mad at him and I freaked out too 'cause I'm too young, and I just started college. I have been crying myself to sleep every night, I tried my best to distract myself from over thinking, and everyday I tell my boyfriend how much I hated him for not being careful. I doubt the pill at first for not feeling any side effects, but after 3 days I started to feel cramps and nausea, and after 5 days I started spotting at night, and the morning after that I woke up and THERE I GO!!! I got my period! It was 2 days late but still. So calm yourselves down ladies! Plan B works!"


"I tried Humira for 4 mons made me worse.  Then one shot of Stelera made me beyond sick and my hands and feet went from red pustules psoriasis itching to burned.  Actually looked as if I was burnt inside out.  Asked the Dr please do not put me on another biologic.  Went for 2 months untreated while they tried too get taltz approved.  So then I developed MRSA.  Started the 2 starter doses on 7/28 of taltz. Then 2nd dose on 8/11.  Now I am 100 times worse than I was on the Stelera.  I'm burnt all over both feet and hands.  I am unable too do anything.  Went to the urgent care sat for 2 hrs was turned away they couldn't help me.  Dermatologist is on vac.  Couldn't get an appointment w/new dermatologist until next Friday.  So here I am suffering, burnt from taltz."


"Milk of Magnesia caplets and liquid work very well for indigestion in a small dose.  Watch out for use on consecutive days because dosage is cumulative.  When I took antacid doses on consecutive days, it worked as a mild laxative on the third day.  Caplets are easier to handle than liquid, although caplets have a slightly chalky taste. Caplet flavors partially overcome chalky taste.  Liquid has a uniquely strange flavor that the manufacturer tries to overcome with flavors."


"Took whole pak over the 5 days for Sciatic nerve pain and numbness and cramps in left calf and foot. It had ZERO effect, I might as well ate Skittles candy."


"I have been on this medicine exaCTLY A MONTH. My right foot, which was affected is having smooth skin no itching the nail is getting harder and better. I love the fact when foot touches the sheets is not snaggling and is not itching. However I have nausea, upset stomach some headaches, tired and my skin on face is very sensitive slightest scratch it swells ups and red. I have a rash on my upper hard palate that just came on yesterday. I want to finish the course I will have to see. I wish there was a single shot that would take care of this. Why is there such a tedious fungus that has to be eradicated in this fashion? "


"I only had ONE cold sore on my bottom lip right in the middle. I used over 6 home remedies the day I saw a tiny bump with some bubbles, the next day abreva was the only thing I was using and 2 days later I noticed the cold sore as spread underneath my lip. I have over 6 little cold sores. I am so mad I spent $20 on this cream. I am visiting a dermatologist to help me because it's been over a week and all of my cold sores are not gone. You're  better off with home remedies such as the following: ketchup, garlic, tea tree oil, ice, vanilla extract, doterra oils (on guard oil), alcohol, etc. anything that will dry it out. Overall abreva helped me in the past once but now I'm done with it. Over priced and spreads more cold sores, don't buy."


"I found the Troche very easy to use and not in the least objectionable. I have used it as prescribed for 7 days but feel that it should have been issued for a longer period of time. My mouth and throat are still sensitive and burning."


"I take this for Depression, Anxiety, Nervousness, Agitation, Inhibition, Lack of Motivation. SSRI's don't work well for me.  Klonopin (also valium/xanax}) has been the only drug to help me to any degree.  I take very little, but it has saved me from severe anxiety, and then I realized that it actually improves my depression, not 100%, but enough that it is significant, while SSRIs do not.  It also calms me down so I can think better.  I also recently tried l- methylfolate, and it REALLY helped me but caused a problem.  If I take more than a normal dose of Klonopin, it could make me sleepy, but other than that, no side affects.   And I have the option to not take it if I don't need it.  I hope l-methyl folate will be even better once I figure out how to use it without a bad reaction.  Don't take Klonopin if you get addicted to drugs"


"I went 5 miserable years with undiagnosed, Hashimoto disease for which I was told it was all in my head & prescribed synthroid & antidepressants.   Now that I'm on Armour, I have made significant improvements in my health & I no longer have the 'brain fog' & chronic fatigue."


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar II (with very few manifestations of depression) so mostly problems with mania. I started on 5mg at night for a week then went up to morning and night doses of 5mg. I did that for 2 days as the day time doses made me feel restless, uncomfortable, edgy, weird and sedated. I couldn't stand it and would count down the time before it would wear off. Then I tried taking 10mg at night but then I couldn't sleep. I would wake up exhausted for the 4th time in a night. Went back to just 5mg at night and this had little to no effect. I worried about weight gain but I lost weight- helped that I was extra cautious about what I ate. If 'increased appetite' is listed I take extra measures with exercise and diet to stay healthy."


"Westward brand fluticasone nasal spray is very watery and it made me very very ill. It made my nose and eyes burn. It gave me a horrible migraine.  It made me drool and made me throw up and it made my throat feel like I had swallowed glass. Does anyone know where the HiTech Brand or the Apotex Brand is.  Be careful using Westward brand -  its Bad."


"It works well enough when it actually administers the proper dose, which it does about 50% of the time. The side effects, include shaking, nervousness, and headache."

"The medication took away my alters connection to me, which at first was really scary because I'd always relied on them to come out and live my life for me when things got rough. I realised soon after starting the drug how little I knew my best friends and how much my disorder actually affected my relationships with them. It scared them and made them come to not trust me at times. Now, I'm scared of not taking it. It has allowed me to learn better coping mechanisms then hiding behind a facade or letting others deal with my problems Instead. It has actually helped me realise, I don't need the help of my alters to get through a day"


"I am so glad I was prescribed Lamitcal two months ago after struggling with bipolar disorder for the majority of my life. I had been getting progressively worse over the years with manic  cycling frequently to the point I couldn't function. I was very skeptical numerous medications over the years. I thought nothing would help and within three weeks my life completely turned around.  The constant edge is gone, I'm calm, thinking clearing and I feel in control. I am so grateful this works for me, hope it works for you."


"I've been on Yasmin for about 4 months now. I love it, my face has cleared and I get little to no cramps. I used to have 8 day long periods and now they are 4-5 days and are much lighter. My hair doesn't seem thinner and I haven't gained weight. I recommend it."


"I would recommend this product to anyone.  I used the product and it stopped the itching and discomfort almost immediately.  I haven't had any issues at all since."


"Maxalt has less side effects, for me, than other Migraine Medication.  Previously I have been on the Maxalt 5 but needed to go up to the Maxalt 10 which helps relieve the pain more completely.  I tried many other medicines, and this has been the best for me, I believe it is different for every person.  My nausea does increase on this medication, but no chest heaviness as with other medicines."


"New Dr. recommended bupropion to stop smoking. Been smoking 40 years. Tried Chantix over a year ago. Was successful for a 3 week period. Got stressed at work and said I'll just have one. Family member told me I was getting nasty with people. So went off the Chantix. Bupropion now on day 6. Have bad insomnia. Getting 2 hrs sleep now. Maybe its supposed to take a while on the cravings for cigarettes. Love the energy of the bupropion now."


"My son became aggressive when he hit puberty (age 11), so the psychiatrist put him on this. For the first 2 months I was happy with the results.  But his aggression started increasing, and he became extremely aggressive over the next year.  His psychiatrist attributed it to rising male hormones and kept increasing the dosage, until my son was on 8 mg/day.  I finally had to have my son hospitalized, as he was a danger to me and others.  I was fed up, so I changed psychiatrists.  She prescribed Abilify, but it took weeks to wean my son off the Risperdal.  However, once he was off it, he became the lovely boy he used to be.  Every child is different, so keep that in mind!"


"Have been on Dabrafenib and Mekinist combined for 2 weeks. Melanomas have reduced in size and blood test results were good. Hoping it continues but it is only early days for me. Nausea, pain, itchiness. Taking antihistamines. Melanomas in spine so pain expected."


"I was allergic to Dorzolamide which made my eye's itch and redden all around the eyelids, Dr. changed me to Cosopt that has no additives and the itching and redness left! I use them daily with no problem for Glaucoma :-)"


"I was prescribed Macro bid for a bladder infection. After I took the 2nd pill, I got severe shortness of breath, chest pain, high fever and diarrhea. Although not as bad as the first day, the symptoms continued into the second day of taking them. On the 3rd day, out of the blue, my vision was blurred/impeded by what I can only describe as bursts of light/sunbursts for about 20 minutes followed by severe headache and fatigue. Very scary! My bladder feels a bit better so I decided to stop the medication after only 3 days. Will ask the doctor for something else with less side effects if it continues."


"I was prescribed Ambien for insomnia because I am going through a particularly stressful time in my life. It does put me to sleep quickly but I've had several bouts of sleep walking. The last one was two nights ago and this one might actually cause me to stop taking it. My room mate said I got up and started to cut up some chicken then mixed it with some dry dog food. This wouldn't be bad if I then fed it to my dog but instead, I started feeding it to myself! Thankfully after I took one bite, she said I spit it out so I guess I wasn't completely out of it. I discovered other things like food taken out of the fridge and sugar spilled on the counter. Other than these things, the drug works great!"


"I've been on Trinessa for 5 months and experienced moodyness and depression for the first month of taking it, second and third month I've gotten vaginitus, nausea was always present and in the fourth and 5th month a horrible face rash with hives .-. I'm switching and going on Nexplanon and hoping that that works more to my liking xP not worth the face rash though and having to wear foundation annoying, but hey I didn't get pregnant xD"


"I suffered with extremely severe social anxiety for 16 years (early teens - 30). I had experienced episodes of fear that were so bad that I would feel a strong urge (if not need) to "escape" from the situation (turning my head the other way, or making a hurried exit, cutting the conversation off, having to turn around and walk out of an office doorway that I had just started to walk into). Nardil turned my life around, I was like a new person: talkative, extroverted, able to feel at-ease and laugh, make jokes, fully calm and relaxed, AND happy! I was finally the person I was always meant to be. I can say it truly saved my life. Side-effects DO lessen and even disappear, so be patient. I take 75mg/day, have not needed to increase in 6 years!"


"At 40 mg, lipitor was too effective for me. My Total Cholesterol dropped from the 230's down to 138 in 4 weeks. The doctor covering for my regular doctor was thrilled.

Then the other nasty effect of the Lipitor kicked in, the anger. It made me want yell and scream how much of an idiot he was when he disagreed that my cholesterol was too low. How dare that man question me about my mood? It is a very aggressive anger that makes you want to snap.

I suggested reducing the dose by half and retesting. 4 weeks later my TC was 158 and my LDL was still less 100, my regular doctor was happy with that. The best part was anger was gone and I felt better. My regular doctor never heard about this anger side effect."


"This is the first Birth Control I've ever been on and so far I am very happy with it. I've been on it for going on 3 months, and at first it was rough but now things are great. The first week I was an emotional wreck!! The Second week I spotted for 9 days. The Third week my attitude was back to normal and I wasn't spotting. I haven't had headaches, I haven't gained weight anywhere other than my boobs, and I haven't had any cramps. And best of all my periods that were normally 5-7 days are now 3 days! Other than biting my best friends head off the first week I was on it, I am totally satisfied with this birth control!"


"Initially I was excited to use this birth control. It was paid for 100% by my insurance. Lasts 3 years, no chance of user error, it sounded like the real deal. I immediately had terrible acne breakouts (face, chest, back), emotional changes, intense hunger, and reduced sex drive. I thought I'd wait and see if anything improved. After a year, my acne isn't quite as bad, but I've gained 15 pounds and my sex drive is still low. I am getting it out this week and going back to Nuvaring. I did enjoy not getting a period for a year, and not having to remember to take anything was convenient. However, I'm getting married this summer. I don't want people staring at my acne and excess weight! I want them gone."


"I read all the great comments here and talked to my doctor and tried this medicine. I guess you may have to give it more time than I did. I tried it for a few nights and it really didn't work for me. But I have trouble falling asleep as well as staying asleep. "


"I've been on an off  Phen the first time I started using the Pill Oct of 2014 I was 213 and lost 23 pounds in a month an half. I stop the pill mid Nov and re gain 10 pounds. I started to take the pill today 05/16/2015 current weight is 200lbs and hoping I can reach my goal this time and loose 50 pounds.. The pill works amazingly it definitely take your hunger alway and gives you tons of energy! My goal is to loose 50 pounds "


"I have severe fibromyalgia along with other undiagnosed conditions that cause me severe pain.  Gabapentin helps me make it through the day, I take 600mg 3x daily.  I also take Moxi for the inflamation and tylenol for the additional pain.  Acai berry supplement also gives me an additional boost of energy.  I do notice slurred speech and thoughts are jumbled within a half hour of taking the dosage, but this is only a slight inconvenience."


"Ornex was the most effective over the counter medicine that I found for my frequent sinus headaches and pressure. Even though the pharmacist says the ingredients are pretty common, no other one they have recommended worked very well at all. I still have no clue as to why it was pulled from the market..."


"This pill is a miracle for me. I've been taking it for about a month now, and within four days my nagging depression, anxiety and paranoia were almost completely eliminated, which I had not expected at all. My Obsessive  Compulsive Disorder has also calmed down significantly since taking it, and my overall demeanor has changed from angry and suspicious all the time, to happy and full of energy."


"I take Fycompa together with vimpat, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam. These drugs have made me seizure free.

I had video EEG monitoring and this changed my life. My neurologist determined the lobe of my brain that was involved and placed me on the correct meds.

If any of you cannot become seizure-free please ask your doctor to consider video EEG monitoring. Without this I would still have seizures."


"29 year old female. Started on 25mg for the first 2-3 weeks. Side effects were very mild (diarrhea and dizziness; also zoned out a lot). After the 1 month mark, I started to feel absolutely amazing. No anxiety anymore. But in the 3rd month I felt like I plateaued. The anxiety and panic attacks started to make a comeback. I upped my dosage to 50mg and it's helped a bit. I'm currently on 4 months of sertraline. Overall I've found it to be a very tolerable drug with little to no side effects."


"I am on painkillers for my back and I don't know what I would do without these. You have to make to sure to take x2 pills every 12 hours for it to work right and don't miss taking them. They work, and work great."


"I got one Diflucan pill to take which I thought at first was a waste of money, but it works GREAT. The discharge and smell changed after 1 day! There were no side effects, no headaches, nausea, pain, etc. Highly recommend!"


"Does not really work for chronic Insomnia"


"It worked for a week perfectly then stopped working. I am wondering if laxative plus linzess is the way to go."


"Better than Ritalin. "


"I used to get cold sores QUITE frequently. I would say about once a month. Healing time for me was about two weeks so I would only have about 2 weeks of no cold sores. My previous doctor prescribed me a topical cream that did absolutely NOTHING for me. I was finally prescribed acyclovir by a new doctor and it helped lessen the healing time to about 4 days. Then this same doctor noticing I was still getting cold sores frequently, prescribed me Valtrex. This absolutely has changed my life. After my first outbreak, the cold sore was gone the next day."


"Dr. gave it for bladder infection, but all it did was making me extremely itchy in vagina.  "


"I said if I dodged the pregnancy bullet I'd write this review because I stressed out for merely four days with panic attacks because I wasn't mentally nor financially stable to have kid and the fact that we neglected to use protection made my anxiety sky rocket. He didn't have a condom so he decided to bite the bullet and just acquire a plan b! I thank sweet baby Jesus that it worked,  but I highly recommend using protection because the stress is unbelievable. I got my period which is really untimely a few days early and I took a pregnancy test that gave me a negative and the side effects were barely there. I testify to this effectiveness. I'm just happy I'm not going to have a kid."


"I started taking Apri about 7 months ago. My breats got noticeably larger within the first few weeks and I gained about 10 pounds, but I'm a thin girl anyway so I gladly take on the extra few pounds and curves. I got prescribed this birth control because of my ovarian cysts and since I have not had any problems with them. They've been unnoticeable and my cramps don't even exist anymore. I love Apri and it's affordable. Just what I need in this economic clash."


"Great and cheaper than other medicine"


"I just started Contrave on 5/31/17 and so far so good, I can honestly say with prepping my healthy meals and snacks I do not over eat and actually had to force myself to eat lunch today. I haven't experienced any of the above mentioned symptoms was only nauseous for a quick second until I popped a piece of gum in my mouth. My water intake has increased and I haven't craved any Pepsi's or sweets that I usually had to have 3-4 times a day, and the good thing is my insurance covered it at 100% so I'm glad it seems to be working for me right now. I will give it 30 days and post my weight loss but as of right now it works for me."


"I have been experiencing chronic fatigue (inability to muster up energy for anything) for as long as I can recall.  My doctor gave me a trial for Cymbalta for approximately two months and I noticed an improvement.  My mom had a stroke and I was away for a few weeks and unfortunately I ran out of my medication, so I thought I would be okay without it.  I was wrong!  I experienced major withdrawals after about two weeks.  I was easily agitated.  I did not leave my apartment.  I could not sleep.  Some nights I was up until 4:00AM.  Earlier in the week I went back on it and things seem to be slowly getting back on track. "


"Librium saved my life. I am very thankful."


"Nuvaring is great. No problems ever during intercourse or taking it out/ putting it in. Protects against "accidents" multiple times a month. Worth the money as opposed to pill!!"


"I've been taking Lunesta 2mg for the past year. It is very effective. I fall asleep within the hour and feel rested in the morning. It also relaxes me. The sour taste went away completely after a month of use. The best if you take it on an empty stomach. The only thing I'm concerned is that my body will get used to it and then it won't help. For now its still a life saver for me after suffering from insomia since I was a teenager. My doctor doesn't recommend that I take it for more then three times a week because I'm still young, however I have no choice and have to take it every night. I can't sleep otherwise. I have kids to take care of and a full time job. I MUST sleep. "


"The constipation issue became a new  job, also the medicine stopped working after a few months and the overactive bladder symptoms came back (leaks when sneezing, unexpected urgency, etc.)"


"Remicade has worked extremely well for me,it has given me my life back.It truly has been my miracle drug."


"I've been taking belviq for six months. I've lost 42 pounds. At 5'6 I went from 220 to178. I'd like to loose that last 8. I combined Belviq with the  Calorie counting app that allows you to enter daily foods and activities. It then provides a daily analysis and maintains all your records. Finally it grades you each day. Together I've had great success and feel so much better. Only side effect : dry mouth.  I can live with that !"


"Cymbalta saved my life from severe anxiety and panic disorder, as well as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (intense nerve pain). I am 22 and have been on it for a few years. A year ago, I stopped taking it because I wasn't sure I still needed it. Within a week, I was living in hell. Crippled by my emetophobia, anxiety, and pain, I couldn't leave my apartment. I was having up to 10 panic attacks a day, sick to the point of throwing up all the time, stuck in bed. I got back on Cymbalta and in six weeks everything was better again. I can live my life now. Thank you Cymbalta! If I have to be on this med for the rest of my life, that is fine with me."


"It has helped a little with the voices I hear and help a lot with visual hallucinations, but not touch hallucinations. Does not help that much with Paranoia."


"Some numbness in fingers especially in morning. A sensation of throat tightness.
I think some ankle and hip joint pain occasionally.
I guess it is working no reoccurence yet."


"Started victoza on April 21 2017 weighing 305lb. Started taking .06 and the first week had gas and insomnia, light nausea and loss of appetite totally. BP went from 135/80 to 120/70 Week 2 increase medication to 1.2 lost 8 lbs in 2 wks. At week 4 no more side effects weighing 288lb. Take peppermint gel caps for nausea and it helps with gas. I hope to get weight down to 200 lbs. No fried foods No pizza No soda, just fruits meat vegetables steamed chicken tuna fish salads smoothies and less dairy products. Will you posted.  My  blood sugars dropped by.50/100 points now. Can't really say to much bad about this drug but it help me to stay full less eating plenty of water."

"I have an intolerance to wheat (not coeliac) and with so much wheat in the world this medication has made it so I can enjoy every kind of cuisine without fear of vomiting it back up within 20-30 minutes! It is a God-send - thanks."

"I had high hopes for this pill... I had tried Alesse and it had made no difference to my very heavy periods, so I changed to Portia. The good side was that I didn't have any mood issues (which I seemed to have with Alesse) but the down side was it didn't help at all with my problem. My periods got heavier, lasting 10 days, with 3-4 days each time when I'd have to get up every 2hrs through the night. I also got really bad cramps and pain, and huge clots. Not pleasant.

I did take it for 3 months straight when I had some events on, and had no problems, no spotting or anything. Shame it didn't do anything else to help! Have now switched to Minestrin, we'll see how that goes..."


"I am on this medicine for couples months now and have gained weight and my depression came back full force. Very sad, no sex drive and 15 more pounds."


"I'm about to complete my 3rd week in my 21 day pack. I've been consistently bleeding since starting the pill and experienced excruciating cramps during the first week. Since then, I've only had light cramping here and there but have been spotting every single day (very annoying as I have to wear panty liners every single day and change them often as it's not exactly light spotting). However, I haven't noticed any weight gain nor increase in acne. One thing that is interesting is the complaints of decrease in libido, which I can't exactly say if I've been experiencing it or not since I've been bleeding. I haven't been all that excited to jump into bed with my boyfriend so it might just be because of that but I can't tell."


"37 and two little ones, both delivered via c-section. I have symptoms of Adenomyosis, so opted for an IUD since I had bad experiences with BC pills. Plus I want to avoid a hysterectomy in my 30s and 40s... No pain during insertion (just like a pap) and it stopped one of the worse periods I have ever had dead in its tracks (10/31/16). Literally no cramps or clots -- just a tiny little spotting. I hope to avoid some of the horrible side effects people list on the web, but so far so good! I would totally recommend this device!"
