"I have been on this birth control for over a year, and I have not had any complaints so far! This was my first birth control that I had ever taken and it is a life saver! I had the worst periods with aweful cramps and a heavy flow, but now I barely get periods and the pain that comes when I do have a period is very tolerable and minimal. I did not gain any weight since I started the birth control, and in fact, it helped me lose weight. I do not get any acne while on this pill, nor do I get any severe mood swings."


"I just started taking 4 days ago. I have Hashimoto disease. I'm experiencing a small annoying cough. Almost like I'm running out of breath and then a small cough comes out, especially when I am talking. I've not seen any side effect listed like this and am wondering if it's an allergic reaction. Has anyone else experienced this?"


"This drug does lower cholesterol levels. My high levels are genetic and I have stents from a heart attack at age 64. I'm 68 now and changing my diet has helped me feel better and lose weight, but I just can't take Lipitor for my higher than normal levels. The problem is the side affects. I suffer with allergies which cause me to cough and sneeze. I also have previously suffered with colitis which still acts up. I've been told that the drug is not related, but I've tried it for periods of about 3 to 5 months to get cholesterol levels in check. It works, but every time I take it I feel listless and depressed. Worst of all when I sneeze or cough from allergies I suffer anal leakage. When I stop it, I'm okay. It's just not worth it."


"Started with this medication October 10th, 2016 and have lost 65 pounds. I love the results, my diet has not changed much and exercise is definitely recommended to tighten your skin after losing that many pounds in so little time. Feeling a lot better and hoping this trend continues."


"I have been on Pentasa 2 capsules 2x day first week feel amazing to not have all day tummy pain or cramping. Hope I have found something that will continue to work for me."


"I took Tamiflu (I had bought it previously for a trip to China) without checking with a doctor because I wanted to get it into my system before 24 hours from illness onset.

While I definitely feel ill (sore throat, achy neck under ears, coughing, feverish, headache) I am able to do basic things at home. I am guessing I would have felt much much worse without Tamiflu, but who knows?

I flew cross country seven days ago and failed to wipe down my seat and environs on the final leg of the trip. Sure that was the source.

No nausea at all, but I had looked up the side effects before ingesting the first dose and took it after eating a small egg meal. I was really worried about the nausea so am very relieved."


"I have been taking Meloxicam for several months with very little relief from my Right shoulder osteoarthritis. It did very little for my Left shoulder issues either. My flare ups are quite severe. My orthopedic surgeon told me I will eventually have to have a shoulder replacement."


"I started this pill in September 2010, to help treat ovarian cysts and endometriosis. The first week I had nausea and tender breasts, but it went away after that. I had a lot of spotting/bleeding on and off for 2 or 3 weeks at a time for 4 months. It was annoying but better than the awful agony I used to go through every month so I decided to keep taking it, as my doctor told me that spotting/bleeding is very common with this low of a dose of pill, and that some people needed 3 months to a year for your body to adjust. Well, finally after 6 months it was worth the wait because, no more spotting/bleeding and best I have better energy/vitality/ and quality of life having control over my horrible periods. It has changed my life!"


"This medication would had gotten 10 stars if it would give me energy. But i have lost 14lbs this first month! I still have two days left until the month on it is over, but I am so excited that I wanted to share. I am 5'6" 216lbs to start and now weigh 202lbs. Yeah, its only 14lbs but it has been so difficult to get below 206lbs that I really didnt think that it would happen. I didnt have any side effects other than being tired. I have no idea how this medication worked, but it has. Also, without insurance I paid $55 after pharmacy used a prescription savings card (in Louisiana.)"


"I have been on Effexor XR for 7 years now and it's awesome! I briefly went off it for awhile and it does have bad side effects when you are taken off of it so it's best to wean off slowly. I got back on it and it's really the best out of a lot antidepressants that I have tried.  I can tell if I miss a dose, my moods are more irritable and I get down easier. It has helped me with social anxiety. No bad side effects."


"I've been on this for about 6 weeks. So far it's working for depression. Much better than Zoloft was for me. With the Zoloft, I had no emotions. I was a drone just going through day to day. With Wellbutrin I'm not depressed (or at least not nearly as much), and I can actually feel joy again. Also, the weight loss is a plus.

The cons to this medication is sometimes I have Cottonmouth, once in a while my hands shake (though this hasn't happened recently, could have just been when my body was adjusting. And it wasn't frequent), and I really have no appetite for breakfast or lunch (I need to force down my breakfast, and I'm just not hungry at lunch). I'm going to continue this medication for a while."


"I have been on Paxil for 16 years now.  I have always been really anxious throughout my life and it came to the point where it was affecting everything I did. Paxil has changed my life for the better and has really worked well for me.  I plan on staying on it."


"I use this for 2 days before  I was able to poop the 3rd day my stomach was cramping so bad and when I didn't go to the bathroom I had to use a Enema to get relief because the poop was too large to come out on its own  but later that day I had no problems pooping twice.  The 4th day my stomach cramped so bad I did poop once, but the pain wasn't worth it especially since before  these meds  I pooped more. But with these meds the pain is not worth taking it anymore.  The 5th day my stomach cramp all day. This pain is terrible when I drink or eat anything it cause pain to my stomach. I will not take this pill anymore. I need to feel better not cramping all day. I never had a problem with constipation before but my doctor recommended this because of the meds that I am taking."


"I have a herniated dic at C6-7 from an auto accident, 1 year ago.  I've tried everything.  I've had multiple trigger point injections and epidurals for the constant spams throughout my shoulders, neck and scapula.  The combination of 1 year of injections and 1 week of Amrix. I can see a possibility of returning to work, without surgery, I hope.  I still take pain medicine's, anti-inflammatory medicines and Lyrica.  The Amrix has given everything a boost."


"horrible medication! Was given this antihistamine for anxiety, it gave me hallucinations and nightmares about people dying and cartoon animal trying to kill me. The feeling didn't go away the next day. It took me two days to get it out of my system. Worst medication ever!!!!"


"I like it that it dissolves in your mouth just like M&M's, but I don't like the tranquilization of this medication."


"I tried this a few years ago. My vagina, labia, everything swelled to ridiculous proportions. Painful, itching, burning, way worse than the yeast infection itself. Haven't used it since, never again. Horrible experience!"


"I just finished my first month of this and I can honestly say I like it! My second day on it I felt like crap and threw up but I primarily blame that on myself because I ate very little that day. Overall great experience so far, my period started while taking the placebo pills like expected so I can say it did regulate my period because I usually skip a month. I have noticed my breasts have gotten more sensitive while taking this but it doesn't bother me too much and I believe its even helped with my acne, which is a plus! "


"I have Bipolar II, with gradioise mania and severe depression. After about a month of taking Lamictil, my moods stabilized dramatically. At one point, I supplemented with Abilify, but have recently been able to stop taking and now rely on Lamictil solely. I attribute Lamictil to saving my marriage and career; it scares me to think about how my life would be without it!"


"I got the nexplanon put in in March 2015 and have had one period since. It was just spotting but lasted three weeks, ending last week (part of the month of July). I don't get cramps or bloating anymore, but I went up a cup size in the first month on it! Overall I have had a great experience with it and would definitely recommend it."


"The three days that I took this medication for my depression I had a horrible experience.  I felt as though the Medicine turned me into someone that I didn't recognize.   I became so angry and irate that I could rip someones head off.
I couldn't control my feelings.  Crying, Sadness, Angry and felt like I was Manic.  I even quit my Job. My life is now ruined."


"After having ulcers the doctor recomended bufferin for pain, that was 40 years ago. I have relied on that and extra strength bufferin since then. Since it was taken off the market I have tried others but they do not work as well. Please please bring the bufferin back."


"this drug is EVIL!!!! stay away from it."


"I was on 1mg of risperdone at night for psychotic symptoms from my depression. It didn't help with the voices, although it did make me feel calmer about things. It's apparently meant to be sedating although I didn't find this. Side effects I experienced were increased prolactin (normal is anything below 500 and mine was 16,000!) so I've had to discontinue it due to high levels of prolactin, and it also upset my stomach!"


"The BEST thing I take for the MS.  Definitely makes me feel better and more vibrant!"


"Doctors have been prescibing different creams for the better part of 20 years ,My first and new V.A. doctor prescribed Ketoconazole 2% cream and my skin rash went away."


"I can honestly say that this drug saved my career."


"I was diagnosed with "Chronic Migraine Disease"  18 yrs. ago.  I have tried too many medications to list.  Almost all of which have not worked for me.  About 9 yrs. ago during a trip to the emergency for a migraine, I had the worst  nausea.  I was given Reglan for the first time.  Not only did it stop the nausea, it calmed my migraine down!  I wasn't even given any Dilodid.  I couldn't believe it!  I was later perscribed Reglan along with Maxalt.  This

combo worked the best for me.  However,  my doctor

quit using Maxalt.  So, while searching for new meds. my

doctor gave me a prescription of Reglan to at least help

with the nausea.  Not only did it help with that, but if caught early enough, it would stop my migraines.  I love Reglan!"


"I had severe anxiety disorder. Probably very close to being hospitalized.  My doctor put me on lexapro and yes, it took awhile to reach full effect, but each day got better and better.  Within a month I was feeling more like myself and within two months, I felt that I had my life back. No noticeable side effects for me."


"Ovide is the best thing ever! 4 years ago and after a crash course in head lice the Dr prescribed RID. After 4 months, countless hours combing, washing clothes and $500 later to treat 4 children and the sprays for furniture, every week these roaches kept coming back (this amount don't include the extra expense that we incurred replacing clothes that finished in the garbage can after being washed in hot water). Finally I went back to see my children's Dr. and she prescribed Ovide. After the first treatment, no more head lice! 3 months ago my son got them again and off course my choice was Ovide hands down! Don't waste money on other products."


"I've had Nexplanon in for about 3 months now. I got a period 2 weeks after insertion that lasted about 4 days but have not had a full on period since. I get random spotting that lasts a day or 2 but its barely nothing and I am still able to have sex. I don't have much of a sex drive though and I also have experienced dryness. I thought it was because I was wearing tampons for the spotting but I stopped and am still experiencing dryness. I have weird cravings for foods (some that I did not even like before lol) and have experienced some weight gain but I think it is because of poor food choices. Headaches and dizziness are also common for me. But..no period and not pregnant!"


"Great medicine. Works great, stops itching and dries up blister in 24 hours."


"This medication has worked wonders for me. For years I have been plagued with constant worry, fear of social situations, anxiety and panic attacks.  I started taking this medication after the loss of a loved one as all of the above symtoms were spiraling out of control.  What a change!  I have been taking it for about seven months with no side effects."


"I've spent a lot of money on over the counter skin lightening creams to treat my moderate/severe melasma.  Only tri-luma has worked to improve the appearance of this unsightly skin condition.  My friends immediately noticed when I used it. Although it is expensive and requires a prescription, I can say it is an excellent product and will definitely improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun spots, freckles or melasma.  I highly recommend this product and only caution that it is most potent the first several applications, so only use a thin layer and apply every other day at the beginning."


"I've been on this medicine for 2 years now and it continues to work well against anxiety and panic attacks. I take a 25 mg pill per day. At first, I experienced slight drowsiness and wanted to sleep a lot, but after a few days these side effects went away completely. Skipping a dose won't affect me, but after skipping several doses once I felt nervous, irritated and had trouble sleeping. Overall, it's good and reliable."


"Paregoric is the only medicine that will have any effect on my diarrhea caused by surgically induced Short Bowel Syndrome.  To stop being housebound, I have to have it.  Without it I can have no normal life.  "


"Used for lateral knee pain due to cycling and walking. Gel has an immediate cooling feeling but no discernible effect on the knee pain. Normal Tylenol was much more effective"


"I took it for anxiety, panic disorder & depression. Made me suicidal."


"This medication helps with flare ups and helps me sleep through the night. "


"I never write reviews on anything but I am a 35 year old male and was diagnosed with blood cancer about 13 months ago and with this type of cancer I have comes the most horrific pain imaginable!! Imagine if every bone in your body is broke and there is razor blades running threw your veins all the while people are prying at every joint on your body with crow bars that have been heated up to almost melting and you start to come close !! I have been prescribed every pain medication under the sun to deal with this and nothing seems to help until my Dr put me on the Belbuca 300 mcg !!! I would just like to say thank you for giving my life back!!!"


"Second time with aihi first time about 7 yrs ago and it wasn't caught until my hemoglobin had bottemed out. In hospital for about a week and on drip for a few days then 90 mg of Prednisone for a month then a year , had the moon face, weight gain and insomnia until I got down to about 10 mg, reducing . Got to 5 mg but it starts again so moved up to 50 for 2 weeks and a few more months reducing. Finally stopped and stayed stopped until a few months ago. Back on 50 mg for a week then it seemed to turn around but dropped to 30 mg and it started up so on 40  mg but still see evidence of RBC destruction so will see what's happening in 2 days on a new testing

Side effects so far this time, insomnia, moodswings, short of breath, irritability and mo"


"I take Lortab because I have osteoarthitis of the spine and I would not be able to conduct my life on a daily basis if not for this medication. Some doctors don't like giving this medicine out to patients because it is habit forming. But, like I told my doctor, pain 24/7 or a slight addiction. I will take the addiction. I can get over an addiction but this pain is here to stay and is not going to get any better."


"I first got on Implanon after the birth of my daughter back in 2013, I've always had anxiety & I'm young so I figured that everything was normal because many women have depression after giving birth, however, when I got back on the implant, (this time Nexplanon, in Feb 2016), I started feeling worse & worse; panic attacks, dizziness & nausea, now I'm planning to have it taken out. It definitely did it's job so I give it 5 stars & I also barely ever bleed & no cramps or weigh gain, but between the lowered sex drive & the depression & constant moodiness, it's time for it to go."


"I have been on Adipex/Phentermine 37.5 mg on and off for years. I have found that Adipex seems to work very well the first few weeks, but for me it does stop working. I think it's a good idea to stop taking it for a few days to a week and then start it again. I have adhd and have noticed that Adipex also helps me focus more than anything, although it's not approved for add/adhd. As far as rating Adipex for weight loss, I feel it is an excellent medication. I have never had any side effects from Adipex!"


"I have implanon and I'm not too sure I like it. It definitely has it's pros and cons. I am 18 and decided to get Implanon.The insertion was not a big deal at all, and I particularly love the fact that I don't have to worry about taking a pill everyday. I have not experienced any weight gain, or acne. I do though have some mood swings. I find myself irritated, and easily annoyed at times (but I was before I got this thing) also I have a lot of unexplained fatigue. I don't know if it's because it's my senior year and I'm stressed or if its this. I am hesitant to take it out. As for my period, I still get it. I was very irregular before Implanon, and still experience my periods irregularly, sometimes they are heavy, other times I just spot."


"Hi ladies im here to share my experience wuth planb i had unprotected sex on 09-13-15 i took plan b the nextday round 12p.m bout a hour later i had all sideeffects that was expected my period was due on the 23rd i got it as expected but the next month i had spotting that only lasted a day so i was worried because on top of that i had pregnant symptoms i took several test all negative so i was now almost 3weeks late i went and purchase a v8 vitamin drink drank a large dose then nextday i got my period thank u plan b it really work and im well over 200lbs it still works Dont stress your period will come"


"I have been on this birth control for two weeks. I had a Mirena IUD for 3 years, and I had it removed because I had low sex drive, pain from ovarian cysts, and I was getting frequent migraines. I was switched to Seasonique generic, Ashlyna, but it made me very nauseous and VERY hungry. I gained about 6 pounds in the first week. Since then, I was switched to Gildess and I am back down 6 pounds and feeling better. The only thing I noticed is that I did develop a large boil on my chin for the first few days, and I am unusually tired. I have spotted for about 10 days, and my breasts are a little sore maybe swollen. I have to be on birth control because I have severe endometriosis that has been removed twice. Anyone have a similar experience?"


"Worked very well however heed the warnings on the label. This product and I assume all with Oxymetazolene caused me shortness of breath, anxiety attacks, rapid heart beat and irregular rhythm. After 2 days my congestion worsened but was still relieved via Afrin however my concern for the side effects and label warning lead me to search for other products that would be able to be used more regularly and without causing said side effects. "


"This is a terrible medicine, how it is getting positive reviews is beyond me. This medicine will make you sick as a dog!"


"Oh my goddddddd my vag is so itchy!! :(:( this is absolutely terrible and NOT worth the $20 bucks, even if it does work. Save your money, go to the gyno, and get oral meds. This is coming from someone who used to have chronic YI's for 4 years straight! My YI's stopped when I started taking probiotics daily, eating less (much less) sugar, and drinking a lot of water with ACV (apple cider vinegar). I always went to the gyno and I'm so mad at myself for trying to save like $30-$40 bucks. I don't even understand how this is legal??? Like there are treatments that are oral that work and Boric Acid but they ALL need prescriptions. So annoying!! Ughhhh I hope my sleep aid kicks in soon :(. Never buying this again."


"I took this medication on top of my regular antidepressants to help with my mood as well as insomnia. This was the worst medication I could have possibly used. I have a history of anorexia and binge eating disorder and Seroquel caused me to gain 10 pounds in a month which sent me into a total depressive episode."


"Terrible rash, headaches, body aches, profuse sweating and nausea."


"I was prescribed Contrave when I talked with my doctor about how much weight I've gained recently and my inability to lose weight even with a healthier diet. I just started my 3rd week and am still doing the 1 pill in the morning, 1 pill late afternoon phase since I've already seen improvement in my portion control and have been loosing weight. This has helped me realize how many snacks and how much food I was actually eating at meals. I (for the first time in a long time) can say no to sweets and extra food just because it's there. In less than 3 weeks I've lost 8lbs. I experienced a tight feeling in my stomach for 2 days, but that was very minimal and is gone. No other side effects. Will update review at the end of my prescription"


"I was on some other pill, and it made me really sick. It was awful. Then I switched to Aviane and I think it is beautiful. Perfect results so far."


"I was put on birth control pills for severe cramps, however, I tried 4 brands of pills and was unable to tolerate combined hormones. They made me irritable and very sad with a lot of crying. My Dr suggested the Skyla and I received it March 2015, insertion was not bad but she gave me a Valium before she inserted. I only felt some cramping but I am used to severe cramps anyway so it was tolerable. Since insertion I have had severe cramping, spotting and moodiness. I am either crying or angry. I feel exactly like I did on the pills. This is only month two so I will give it a little more time. I did read side effects subside after a few months. My spotting is sporadic now instead of daily. My first period was very short and light."


"I've been in this medication for 3 weeks .At first the effects were unbearable ; brain fog, memory loss , loss for words , sleepingall day . I'm going on my 3rd week and almost all side effects subsided . I still find myself at loss of words sometimes . I started at 121lbs I'm now at 116 and still losing . I find myself never wanting to eat . Soda taste flat . I don't mind . I like the medicine . I take 50mg morning 50mg night prn."


"I started this drug at about 12 years old, used it for about 7 years. Very effective for anxiety/panic attacks, but much too powerful. While on it, I was so drowsy I could barely stay awake, my mental performance suffered, I became an emotionless zombie, and suffered severe chronic constipation that made me late everywhere I'd go. Also true hell to get off of, even with a slow taper--worst panic attacks of my life, felt like I couldn't bear it, failed several times. And the worst part? I'm still suffering disabling cognitive impairment and chronic constipation to this day--about 7 years after STOPPING the drug. For all I know, I'm stuck with these now forever. My advice? Run--like hell--from benzodiazepines. They may just ruin your life."


"Female over 30 here. I have had IBS-D for about 3 years since I had my gallbladder removed. I've only been taking Viberzi for a couple of days so far and while I started getting abdominal cramps day two, they're not awful and something I hope will not get worse, but I'm having maybe 2 bm's a day and not running to the toilet every time food touches my lips. It's such a relief to not have bathroom issues every time I eat anything- I'm praying this keeps working and the cramps go awayl with time."


"It was a horrible experience for me. So many side effects. I used to only have to wear my glasses at times. It eliminated any sexual experiences. I was only on it for 30 days. I called the doctor after 2 weeks to tell him what was going on but he said to give it a month. "


"It works great for my son. It's convenient when we are camping. We don't have to go looking for a spoon, no measuring. He takes one and he feels better than when he takes two spoonfuls of the liquid and he's proud of himself cause he can get it for himself with supervision."


"After suffering a bereavement and going through menopause I suffered anxiety attacks. I continuously felt stressed - had the shakes when I woke up, and heart palpitations ...all in all life was bad. Eventually I asked my Dr for help. He prescribed SERTRALINE ( one week 25g second week 50g). The first 2 weeks I felt as though they weren't making any difference, but after the third week the shakes and palpitations stopped. Now nearly three months later I feel so much better in every way.
I sleep better ..enjoy my life again. I would recommend that anyone trying sertraline not to give up after the first two weeks if you don't feel any benefit, it does take a while to get into your system. As for side effects, I haven't had any."


"I have been switched to Dysport a month ago from Botox, which had become increasingly less effective for my Cervical Dystonia. I feel remarkably better with a less of the turning sensation to the left, more flexibility and increased comfort. It started taking effect on Day 2 vs. a week with Botox. So glad my neurologist switched to the toxin."


"Had back surgery in 2000. 3 rods 6 screws and bone put in L4 L5 S1. Had severe pain for 12 years. No sleep, ( 3 1/2 to 5 hours a night). No energy, seldom in good mood because of the pain. Sometimes down for 3 weeks at a time. Began Butrans 10 mcg last year and man what a difference. First week was getting 7 hours sleep and pain level went from 10  to 1 or 2. Has been that way for the last 11 months. Now getting blisters and rash at application site. Going to doctor this week. Hope he doesn't take me off. Really not looking forward to the return of a painful life."


"After taking Orthotricylen off and on for 5 years I was switched to Chateal and I couldn't be happier. I've struggled with weight my whole life and I would get on and off Ortho because it caused me to gain extreme weight and I was really unhappy about it but I knew I needed birth control so the doctor at planned parenthood suggested Chateal. I've been on it for almost a year and I haven't had a single pound of weight gain (I've been losing actually but that's because of diet and exercise but it's important that the pill isn't interfering). I also have pretty acne prone skin growing up but I hardly get any break outs now on this medication (not sure if it's the pill or getting older). I don't feel any nausea other people experienced either."


"I'm 18 and this is my first hormonal contraceptive I've tried, I was pretty scared at first about all the negative side effects - I did experience some intense mood swings and feeling nauseous at night in the first two weeks but I trusted it would go away, and it did. On my fourth month of taking it now and I'm pretty sure I'm fully used to it. My periods are super regular, libido is fine, no dryness, no migraines or weight gain, however I haven't seen a difference in acne/lighter or shorter periods/period pain but those aren't problems I needed fixed anyway. Pretty happy!! Don't be scared by the side effects, if you go into it with a positive mindset you'll be right... and it's super worth it once your body gets used to it :)"


"Tramadol is just about as useful as Teats on a Boar Hog!
It is not as strong as two 325mg. of Aspirin!
Do not waste your time or money having a prescription of it  filled and be sure to kick the Worthless Doctor who gave it to you  before you leave for he is someone you never want to ever go back to again!"


"This has to be the worst birth control I have ever taken. I have never experienced so many side effects on any medication. This pill makes me so nauseas that I wake up out of my sleep !!!! My acne is usually controlled but not on this ! Gildess has wrecked havoc on my entire body. I get break outs on my chest (ew gross, I know) and I have gained so much weight on it. I'm talking about like 20 lbs. and let's not even mention how emotional I am. I cry about EVERYTHING. The only plus side to this was the huge cup size increase. 34B to 34D. If I hadn't already been to my gyn, I'd think I was pregnant. Nope, it's just this damn birth control. Oh and my GYN says my blood pressure is also elevated. you are better off being pregnant !"


"I've been on and off of citalopram for the past 5 years (mostly on). I deal with GAD, depression, and PTSD.  The therapeutic dose of 20 mg was what I was on initially, bumped to 40 as stress increased. This drug really helped me deal with my mixed bag of symptoms effectively.  However, it caused anorgasma.  Also caused a chronically stuffed nose as the dose increased."


"Mirena did not work for me, I have tried the pill and Implanon prior to the IUD. At first it was fine and insertion was not that bad. I had Mirena in for 6 months and never had a period. It was extremely effective, but in the end the benefits were outweighed by the detriments. I began having extreme anxiety which is strange for me because I am have never been the type. I had shortness of breath, dizziness, and would get light headed. I began having panic attacks that went from mild to severe which prompted me to get it removed. It has now been three weeks since removal and my anxiety has reduced greatly. "


"for never being on an inhaler before this works very very well. I've had a pretty bad cough for almost 2 years that was diagnosed as rhinitis and we tried nasal sprays and allergy medications this is like a breath of fresh air in my lungs. I'd recommend it, just watch for dry mouth!"


"I was given this right before (only 2 weeks before) I was diagnosed with PCOS. Yes, at the start I had really bad mood swings, it didn't help I was starting a new drug for stress headaches that had the same (mood swing) effect. I talked to my DR.  about it and she advised me to stay on it for 3 months, then afterwards I can come back and discuss the pill and see if I need to be put on another.

I have been on it for 4-5 months now, and I have little to no mood swings anymore. I love taking this, because before I wouldn't have any idea when I was about to get a period, sometimes would go for months without one. Now I know exactly when it will happen. This is a huge relief to me.

As for my PCOS, I won't know until my next ultrasound."


"I have been an alcoholic for over 15 years. Every time I've tried to quit I ended up having a seizure. I've had over 20 that I can even recall! But I've been sober for 11 days and the librium saved me! Once I started feeling nauseous I took two librium and felt better!!! I'm telling you from personal experience, do NOT try to detox without medication! If you want to try to get sober I would recommend Librium over anything else!!!"


"I was taking Adderall for nearly 3 years, when my insurance would no longer cover it. I started taking it when I enrolled into college. It helped me achieve the honor roll every term I was taking it. I felt more confident and focused, whereas in high school I was unable to do such tasks and received D's and F's. I wish that I was taking Adderall again. I've taken Ritalin, Methaline and now Dexedrine which doesn't compare to Adderall. I have been taking this for 6 months now, and I am no longer on the honor roll. No matter how hard I try, my focus isn't where I need it to be. On the other hand, I don't have the side effects of severe irritability or quick anger that Adderall tends to cause."


"My GYN prescribed it. She said I could have unprotected sex seven days later. The first day I took it, I felt nauseous but I expected it because I did my research. I had unprotected sex on the eighth day- 4 days before my expected period. My period then was late. I thought I was pregnant but the tests results were negative.
I then had a horrible migraine lasting for more than one week- on and off during the day. I never get migraines. My cramps were horrible and I felt like I was dying. I had really bad neck aches, back aches and leg aches.
I was supposed to try it for 3 months then report to my GYN but I couldn't do it. "


"Excellent pain relief for ovarian cancer. Only downside, terrible constipation that no amount of drinking or eating prunes, kiwi fruit or bran made any difference."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Experience actually was pretty good. My doctor told me to take the first dose at 5 PM, followed by the second dose at 9 PM. After taking each those I was in the bathroom within 30 minutes.   The only difficulty was just the taste but not nearly as bad as some of the previous reviews that I've read. I would have to say that the overall experience was tolerable. That said I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy."


"I've had toenail fungus on 9/10 toes. Both big toes particularly bad. I've done everything to hide my toes for over 10 years- polish, band aids, fake press on nails...finally decided to do something- husband always wants to know why he can't rub my feet or treat me to a pedicure. Was very concerned about side effects but had to try. Have 3 weeks left of 3 month prescription 250mg once daily. Podiatrist takes blood to check liver levels before refill. Liver levels normal. Had a very subtle metallic dry mouth for a day -hardly noticeable and could be my over thinking. Pill is amazing. My athletes foot is gone. Nails are growing in clean and clear. Results are according to how fast your nails grow. Like posters said, I wish I did this years ago!"


"I was experiencing a lot of anxiety and depression and panic attacks.  My first reaction to my anxiety was to drink alcohol.  Since alcohol is a depressant, that made everything worse.  Now that I am on this medication, I feel like I'm back old self - and I have no desire for alcohol (which should not be taken with this medication anyway).  I started with 10mg initially and had a lot of side effects (nausea, diarrhea, etc.) and was very lethargic, so I cut it in half and tried again.  I can't tell you how much this medication has helped me.  Remember, our body chemistries are all different, so sometimes adjustment have to be made initially.  Now I'm on 10mg and I feel like a new woman."


"My mom has been on Aricept for 5 months, 5 mg. Mom has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Medication has helped her be more alert, making longer conversations, better effect. Short memory exists but her condition had not worsened. Will see neurologist to determine to increase medication to 10 mg. Mom's condition has been stable and we are hoping to slow the disease."


"I was just diagnosed with lupus three years ago. Come to find out it was actually fibromyalgia. I am taking cymbalta, xanax, and meloxicam. I feel a huge different with the cymbalta. My nerve pains immediately went away. But if you go a day without it the withdrawals are horrid. Meloxicam helps to an extent. I feel a slight difference in my joint pains but I still feel so bad I cannot walk. I would love to see stronger pains medications with less addicting properties."


"I got the Mirena in August of 2012 after having our 3 little blessing since then I've had weird periods one month, I bleed almost a month then wouldn't have one for 2 months and when I did have a period it lasted over 10 days.  The past few months I bleed after intercourse and is very painful afterwards and hubby doesn't understand why I don't want to anymore. Also sharp constant pains in my lower abdominal area."


"Great medication! Works very well although my insurance doesn't cover it!"


"For the last 20 years I have had issues with IBS-D. I'd say I would have a "normal" bowel movement 5% of the time with about 1-2 occurrences of rushing to the bathroom per day and the rest of the time just unpleasant bowel movements. My Gastro prescribed 75mg Viberzi and it worked almost immediately. I'd say in the first week I had two occurrences of diarrhea and the rest of the time I was "normal".  After a month I have had diarrhea a total of 3 times, and had some of my best bowel movements in the last 20 years. I've even eaten Taco Bell several times and not had to go. It is truly freeing to not feel nervous about whether I would make it home in time after eating dinner."


"Chantix has proven to be very effective at curbing urges to smoke (I went from smoking about an average of 3/4 of a pack of cigarettes a day on and off for 23 years down to just 4-5 cigarettes a day a few days into taking Chantix. I am on day 4 now and really feel I can quit completely by day 8. The problem is that I have been getting weird side effects, not the common ones. I don't get nausea hardly at all, or weird dreams. Instead I feel sort of out of body all the time, have difficulty concentrating, experience periodic agitation and blurry vision. My legs also feel very heavy. I can tell I am not myself. I plan on stopping the drug at 1mg a day dose ( blue pill) . I'll quit on my quit date, with willpower and gum!"


"Allegra has done the trick for me for years. My only disappointment is the expense of the 12-hour dosage now that my insurance company doesn't cover it anymore. It's a better deal to purchase the 24-hour dose but I don't like taking a higher dose of medication if it isn't necessary."


"I went to a weightloss clinic on Tuesday June2nd . I have been battling my weight for years ( ever since I had 4 kiddos) I'm 5'5 and my starting weight was 184.4 lbs I started the script the same day that I had it filled and as of today Friday June 5th I am down to 177lbs ! This is absolutely unreal! 7lbs in 3days !
 I have had slight insomnia , constipation and crazy dry mouth all of which are easily solved . a lil melatonin for sleep , cascara sagrada for constipation and tons of water for dry mouth . I can't wait to see where I am at the end of june !!!"


"I felt like crap 36 hours ago (headache, toothache, congested nose) but feel SO much better after 4 doses. I should have gone to the doctor sooner. Mild impact on my digestion, but I'll take that any day in lieu of the debilitating headache and toothache I was experiencing."


"I recently started taking Lyrica for two herniated discs. The doctor said I have massive nerve damage that will result in surgery but suggested taking this medication temporarily until surgery because my pain was unbearable! At first I was a little off balance but within a week I wasn't constantly in pain....within a month my pain was almost gone and I refuse to do surgery now! Thanks Lyrica for making this happen!"


"My boyfriend has Stage IV Adenocarcinoma mets to lymph nodes and chest bones.  Within 2 months of starting Tarceva (started with 150 mg, reduced to 100 mg) his scans showed 90% improvement!  It is incredible.  The only reason I do not give it a 10 rating is that one of the common side-effects is a very bad rash.  After 3 months, the rash has not subsided.  It looks like a cross between measles, poison ivy and bad acne.  It itches & burns too.  We have tried all kinds of treatments, OTC and prescription, and nothing seems to touch it."


"This didn't agree with my body at all.  After only 2 or 3 days I was convulsing, vomiting, diarrhea and was very lethargic.  I was on a very low dosage. (10 mg)"


"I have been on this medicine 7 months and I'm 8 months post partum and also breast feeding. I have not had a period and that could be from BF or the pill. Also unable to loose any weight. Extremely moody and break outs often. I rated it 10 because  have no gotten pregnant while on it"


"My husband suffered from toe nail fungus since I met him for years. One day he was given free samples of lamisil for a three month period. He took it and his toe nails miraculously cured! From super yellow nails that were impossible to cut to natural healthy nails. He worked in construction so wearing steel toe shoes did not helped. He got some back but after ten years, due to his job. It was not contagious though. I worked at Home Depot for a year and wore steel toe boots for protection and noticed a bit of fungus growing on my big toe!,  I requested lamisil and the Dr. Was reluctant to prescribe it for the possible side effects, all bodies are different so let's see what happens. I don't believe in topical antifungal!"


"I have been on Lutera for  over a year, and I love it. I'm shocked to see so many bad reviews but i guess everyone's body reacts differently so I'd just keep an open mind! I have very light, short periods, I'm no more moody than I would normally be, and haven't gained any weight. I have used other pills in the past that made me very moody and depressed and worsened my PMS symptoms but this really evened me out. the only thing I'm wondering is if this is why i have persistent acne, it never occurred to me until recently because all doctors I've asked just say oh good you're on bc that should be helping. Even if it is the cause of my acne i'm not sure i would switch because it works that good for me."


"I am a 32 year old. I have been on Vyvanse for about 2 weeks now and I love it. I have never been diagnosed with ADD and about 2 months ago I was given Straterra first. I hated that. My Doctor switched me to 30mg Vyvanse and the first day I noticed a difference. It lasted me about 10-12 hrs. My appetite went down a little but nothing to bad. Other than that there are no other side effects for me. I would definitely recommend Vyvanse."


"I've been using this for acne. I've always had acne but about a month ago I had a crazy Breakout/flare out that extended from my hairline down my jaw line down my neck. Crazy?!?!! So I rang to my derm & he prescribed this 100mg 2x a day along with clindamycin topical solution & I've seen results in my first week! I read all the reviews so I was afraid of "it gets worst before it gets better" thankfully that wasn't the case for me. Honestly, this medicine has been amazing. I've followed it to the tee. No food 2 hrs before or 2 hrs after because it works best on an empty stomach. I've been lucky that I haven't had any side effects. It's been great at preventing breakouts so overall I'm super happy with this medication."


"I used Mefloquine for Malaria prevention in India. While I was in India I didn't experience any side effects, however after I returned to Canada I developed flu like symptoms such as chills, fatigue, diarrhea and loss of appetite. Several days after developing the flu like symptoms I developed a skin rash on my face and neck. It has now been a week and I still have congestion, diarrhea and the rash, but the rest of the flu symptoms have gone away.

I seen my doctor immediately, however my doctor hasn't told me to stop with the medication and we're currently doing blood tests to monitor the side effects."


"After taking Xyzal for only 3 weeks, my quality of life has vastly improved.  The first 2 days I felt a little sleepy.  The only symptom I still have is a runny nose in the morning, but it goes away after several hours.  I took Zyrtec D for over a decade while living in Los Angeles and my allergy symptoms were controlled, but some days I could barely speak because my mouth and throat were simply too dry.  After moving to Arizona, Zyrtec D was failing to control my allergy symptoms and I was dry everywhere.  My skin itched, my eyes and ears itched and hurt.  I tried both Claritin D and Allegra D which provided little to no relief."


"This is my second time around of being on it and it's way worse than the first time. Well, at least the first month was HORRIBLE and when I say horrible I mean horrible. My period had came way too early, it came like the second week starting the pills, lasted the rest of the month, cramps were so bad that they woke me up out of a dead sleep every 1-2 hours, nothing helped to ease the pain. Happened more at night but I had them during the day as well. It was that bad I almost had to call off work and I'm the type that never calls off, I'd have to be dying. Now I'm almost through my second month, it's going A LOT better! This month was better than last. I suggest to give it time, let it run it's course even if it gets horrible like mine did."

"I switched from Junel Fe to Aviane because Junel made me break out. While my skin was flawless on Aviane for the 4 days I took it, I had severe mood swings. I would wake up angry and nauseous and cry almost three times a day for no reason at all. I had the same reaction to Plan B, and the progestin used in that is the same in Aviane. After 4 days on this medicine I switched back to Junel, and I've been happy ever since! Lesson: don't switch birth control if acne is your only complaint. Stay with the medicine you have the least amount of side effects with."


"I have tried a lot of different medications for my anxiety, and nothing has ever worked, that is; until I was prescribed Atarax.  I was going through some very, very stressful times and had to go on something.  Nothing has ever helped me, not Paxil, Lexapro, Effexor, Zoloft.  I know that is a lot of different ones!  But this is spread out over many years of trying new ones, not one of them really worked for me, and I had lots of bad side effects from them.  Atarax was one that I had never heard of, till the doctor prescribed it to me.  Immediately it works.  You take it, and within 30 mins it kicks in, and last for hours.  You can take one or two at a time, every six hours.  The only side effect is sleepiness, and I did experience this."


"1 shot, due another in August and wondering.  Constipation very severe, fatigue, hip pain, upper arm pain  and shooting pains in head.  I do not know if there are other options available and scared to take second shot in case things get worse."


"My outstanding physician and another member of the team recommended Cymbalta. I switched over from Zoloft and this medicaton works quite well. I suffer from Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and severe nerve pains.

The side effects have been quite minimal. I'm more involved in the community through volunteer activities, working, and accomplishing my goals. I'm more social and interactive. My depression and anxiety have decreased by at least 60 percent. My body pain has decreased. I'm more physically active, eating healthier and just more up beat.

A special thanks goes out to my physician, his team and a fantastic representative who also recommended Cymbalta. Thank you for reading my review."


"I've had the Mirena IUD for four months and so far it is great.  I tried it, despite many 'horror stories' because I am having trouble finding a doctor who will sterilize me (under age 30).  The insertion was very painful. I took several ibuprofen and was given misoprostol, but it only took about 10 minutes total.  The following 2 days I experienced some cramping.  After that, I've had no discomfort at all.  I don't get periods anymore and have not experienced any of the hormonal side effects described except a slight increase in body fat."


"I don't know why this medication gets such terrible reviews. I'm taking 100mg twice a day, yellow and black pills - second time they've been prescribed to me and I've never had troubles. Mild gas, mild urgency to use the restroom, but nothing insane like heart racing or sweating. I slept like a baby after I took my first one and I'm about to take my second before my bed time now. I honestly didn't know I had a UTI till my doctor told me, but this is my second time and these pills have never given me an issue. Take them as instructed, with food (stay hydrated too), this medication works wonders. Antibiotics are some of the only drugs I take as I believe in holistic approaches, but this is one that makes me happy when I do have to take drugs."


"Before taking this medicine you must know this: Does anyone in your immediate family have an autoimmune disease?  It is imperative you have blood work done before taking this medicine. If you have an abnormal ANA, DO NOT take this medicine. I would not want anyone to react as I did.  I took the minimum dose for maybe a week, I developed a full body rash, photophobia, headache, etc.  "


"I've always had a problem with odor and tried douching, etc., but nothing ever helped. FINALLY, I spoke with a PA who told me I probably have an over abundance of "good" bacteria which produces this odor. She prescribed Metrodinazole 0.75% and I used it as prescribed. NO MORE EMBARRASSING ODOR! I don't know how long this will last, but I could cry from relief. Unless you experience thus yourself, you don't understand the thoughts always in the back of your mind. So thankful for this medication!"


"Methadone saved my life! I've been clean for 6 years now thanks to methadone. If it wasn't for Methadone I'd be dead right now, I'm sure of it. My life is so much better now! Thank God for this medicine. I would suggest this option for anyone who's struggling with opiate addiction."


"Only took twice a day for my ankylosing spondylitis .  Had little relief if any at all.  Vimovo worked much better but after a couple months had horrible GI side effects."


"I get sinusitis several times a year. The old-fashioned 5-day Z-packs used to work really well for me. They still do "knock down" the worst of it (I carry a filled prescription from my doctor when I'm traveling on business) ... but in the past several years I've noticed that sometimes the sinusitis will rebound in a couple of weeks and I end up having to take a different type of antibiotic.

Unfortunately, those secondary antibiotics tend to get to me -- queasy stomach, the "taste" of the medicine even hours later. None of that with Zithromax. The only time I had a bad experience with Zithromax side effects was the three-day pack."


"I have been taking Paxil since 2001, when I was in college and age 21.  I have always been an anxious person.  My anxiety was probably partly biological or genetic and partly learned from my anxious parents.  In 2001 my anxiety became very bad.  For the first time in my life I was having panic attacks and became agoraphobic.  I was hardly eating.  I was also suicidal.  A doctor at my college put me on 60 mg of Paxil daily and 1 mg of Ativan three times a day.  I also began seeing a psychologist and a psychiatrist.  After about half a year I was able to decrease the Paxil to 50 mg per day and the Ativan to once a day.  The combination of Paxil and Ativan saved my life!  My anxiety decreased tremendously and I felt so much better!"


"Had ORANGE urine from 1/11 to 1/13. Went to Dr.  Got urinealysis.  They said it was fine and call them if it comes back.  It did, every 3 days or so for 2 weeks.  Went back to the dr.  Got blood work and another urinalysis.  My blood is fine.  She said I have bacteria in the urine tho, called it a UTI, and put me on this medicine.  Only took 3 doses so far and have no side effects but I urinated orange again twice today.  So I'm wondering if it should be working by now.  And also, like the other stories I'm hearing from you ladies, I have NO other symptoms.  Zero.  Has anyone had a UTI with no other symptoms?  Maybe it's not a UTI.  And also, has anyone ever had this orange urine but me?  When it's not orange, it's fluorescent yellow. "


"I suffer from severe depression and anxiety, this actually curbed it for me. Instead of being depressed everyday, it cut it down to a week. It balanced out my periods. But,  on the down side they were heavy for the first few days with strong fatigue and cramps. I had spotting the first month. My emotions were great the first 9 months. Once that Mark hit I started to spiral. I was over emotional and cryings over just about anything. My feelings were so amped up. I stopped taking it and I felt normal a few days later. I stopped and started a new one which honestly made me feel absolutely nothing. I felt like a sociopath. I'm back on it, hoping for good to decent results. Just remember, every one is different. Try it for a few months."


"Have had 5 major cervical surgeries. Fused C2-T1 posteriorly and C2-C5 anteriorly. Lots of nerve damage and resulting pain. Many years on Oxy's and Fentanyl. Several years ago I started Methadone Tx. Worked up to 120mg/day in divided doses with Dilaudid for breakthrough. It's an excellent pain med and cheap if you have to pay for it. But after OBAMACARE destroyed my insurance (4X), no pain mngmt doctor will even talk to me. I'm currently having to wean myself off these meds as the pain returns. These docs only have to cover pre-existing conditions if they accept you as a patient. So if you lose yours and nobody will talk to you, you're in a leaking boat without a paddle! It's not easy to stop, that I promise you... Go very slow if you must!"


"I must be the only one on here that didn't benefit from this medication.... just got a headache and didn't help my anxiety."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I'm very happy with this medicine, and I can only encourage anybody who's hesitating to start an HIV treatment to go for this one. After 5 years, I finally decided it was time to start taking medicine, as my CD4 were going down and my Viral load going higher and higher! There was no doubt, I was freaking out! I finally got offered with STRIBILD , as it is very practical to take one tablet per day. I must say that I almost didn't have ANY side effects, apart from the part that I was very worried. After 1 month and half, my VIRAL load became undetectable, it took more time for my CD4 to go back to normal, after 6 month, I am at 600 CD4. I feel very happy, relieved, much more energy, I have had no more gastric and diarrhea issues !"


"I gave it a rating of 5 for its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. I only do withdrawal method with this. But the side effects are so awful. Possibly the worst I've had with any brand. It is quite potent  I'd tell you that. I get a lot of headaches, nausea and stomach discomforts for a week into starting a new pack, decreased libido, and in the beginning I'm quite dry which is uhm, have never been an issue for me, I get so moody, stress is harder to deal with, I get anxiety attacks, I get so easily fatigued, and the combination of these 2 I just get so unmotivated into doing daily activities. It's pretty bad. I'm changing brands on my next cycle. Maybe a milder combination OCP."


"Just works without trying!"


"I have been suffering from anxiety for about 1.5 years.

I am a big believer in natural medicine and psychotherapy. I have tried EVERYTHING .
I exercise daily, I eat healthy, I take vitamins I tried meditation, vitamins -You name it.
The anxiety started when I began dieting for a body building competition I lost about 10kilos and got down to a small amount of body fat. At this stage my periods stopped and I stopped producing estrogen and progesterone. I always told my mum and close friends it just felt like something inside me was 'missing'.
I've been on Lexapro for 2 days and everything has changed. I can't BELIEVE it and I cannot believe I've wasted 1.5 years feeling that bad. You don't realize how bad it is until you feel relief."


"I am a week into my third month on Tri-sprintec. After the first pack my period was a little crazy (more heavy and a few days longer than usual). By the end of my second month everything was back to normal. My periods are regular now, I'm not pregnant and I've had no side effects. So far I am very happy with it."


"I haven't found the perfect medication, but this is among the best so far. What is nice is that is also indicated for pain and helps my severe pain condition by reducing neuropathic pain."


"At 1.8 now and doing well but have a great deal of acid reflux at night. It may or may not be a result of the Victoza but no fun. My A1c was always too high so my endo put me on Victoza..a miracle. I was a serious eater and don't even care if I eat at all now. Have lost 10 lbs and feel better. I'm a Type II diabetic but have been on insulin for a long time as I found it to be less trouble than pills. My endocrinologist took me off my Novalog..so far, so good."


"I had smoked for 40 years 2 to 3 packs a day. I enjoyed smoking. I wanted to quit for my children/grandchildren and in particular my father.I had tried everything/ nicotine gum/ hypnosis.Nothing worked, No one thought I could quit because I was so addicted. It took a little longer than 3 months to work but it worked. I have been off cigarettes for nine years.I have not even had a drag of a cigarette in that time. I feel so much healthier and my family is grateful to have me back."


"Used product as directed and it does not work, period! There isn't ANY change at all in the condition of my pinky toe nail. Total waste of a $50 co-pay. And my Dermatology office sure did push this medication, they must've been getting a kick back from the manufacturer."


"After exhausting other options, medications i am now on Cimzia, It works as well as most, better than some. Ease of use could be better, Support is great."


"My husband and I have used dramamine in the past for motion sickness while on our fishing boat.  50 mg tablet will put us to sleep within 3 hrs after taking the pill. One time I could not drive home I was falling asleep at the wheel. I went home and could not keep my eyes open. This time during our cruise we saw a pharmacist on an island stop and she gave us Phenergan and told us to take 1 15 mins. before going on a fishing charter.  The pills worked wonderfully! We were out in really rough waters on a 30 ft. fishing boat for 4 hrs. Did not even get queazy at all! We were not even tired upon our return either. As a matter of fact my husband said the pill made him hungry and he ate more. Phenergan is wonderful! Throw away the dramamine!"


"I was prescribed this by a PA who also works for the FDA. I was a bit hesitant to try at first after reading the patient pamphlet from the pharmacy. I gave in once the PA assured me that it was an established medicine that has been around for decades with few if any side effects. After approximately two months on this, I was amazed at how clear my skin had become. However, I also noticed that my teeth were beginning to develop brown spots on them as if I had just eaten chocolate.  I shared this concern with the PA during a follow-up visit and she claimed to have never heard of that side effect in adults. I was advised to discontinue the medicine. "


"I am 23 and have been on this pill for two years. My doctor gave me this pill for me for pelvic pain. When I started it, it helped with the pain almost immediately. My periods were much lighter and cramps were nowhere near as bad as they were. I gained a cup size in the first couple months which was nice. However I gained about 10lbs in about 3 or 4 months and another 5 by the end of the year. It is impossible to lose that weight while on this pill. I exercise continuously and the week of my period (placebo pills) I lose around 3 to 4lbs and before I can lose more I have to start a new pack and I gain it back. I also feel like I have an extra "layer" all over especially my hips and tummy. I also eat when I am full because of crazy food cravings."


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


"I used to play ball and after finishing still ate like it was game time. Lost 46 pounds and still need to lose 30 more. This medicine has allowed me to change my relationship with food and beer. I now feel like my weight managed properly can get be back to a healthy weight. Good results few side effects."


"My mother was on these for 9 months.
It caused her to have constant, severe diarrhea.
Just yesterday she had a major bleed whilst going to the toilet.

She had numerous tests on her tummy troubles a few months back and they found nothing wrong.
Obviously Dr's prescribed these and couldn't be bothered reading up on the drug. She has been so sick for 6 months. Crazy."


"This is great medicine to stop your depression. try ZOLOFT - regularly every day, for at least 1 month, you'll feel the actions. I promise."


"This is actually the WORST product I've ever used in my entire life. I had a simple, run of the mill, yeast infection. Now my vagina hurts so bad I cannot walk, nor can I sit. I've been laying on my back for the last 4 hours with an ice pack on my lady bits. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT, unless you like the look of a swollen labia. Just go to the urgent care, or your gynecologist and get an anti-fungal prescription. Trust. Me."


"I used the patch for night time hot flashes that wake me up every 2-3hrs. The size was great, and it stuck just fine. That's where the happy union ended. By the second day the hot flashes seemed to triple, occurring all day and all night. And the flashes were hotter! I also began to have terrible headaches that woke me up earlier than my alarm clock and hung around all day. I never have headaches so I removed the patch after only 4 days and the symptoms all went away. Now I'm back to square one better able to deal with my original symptoms knowing things could be worse. I'm going to give the name brand Vivelle dot a try and see what happens."


"I took this for both anxiety and pain.  It did not work as well as Effexor for anxiety but it helped keep away the bad anxiety attacks.  I had to take ativan several times a week where as on the Effexor I took it once or twice a week.  I changed to the Cymbalta hoping it would help with my chronic pain and it did significantly.  The only bad side effect I have had is higher body temperature and sweating.  I am currently researching other medications just because of this side effect.  If you anxiety is mild to moderate and you have chronic pain I think this is a good option if you dont experience the sweating.  My anxiety was a little to much for this drug to handle alone and I cant handle the sweating and "hot flashes""


"I am using Otezla and have been for the past 5 months now. Before taking Otezla I only had plaque psoriasis on my scalp. It would get very dry and hard and when I would scratch my scalp it would bleed. The side effects were nothing too hard to get use to. I have loss some weight but overall the plaque psoriasis has cleared up to where it is more manageable and less scaly. On my body which the only time I had a bad case of psoriasis was when I got mosquito bites on my legs and it turned into red scaly patches all over. I used this sea salt scrub every day when I showered and it went away. Now with using sea salt as a regular monthly regimen all over my body. I only have psoriasis on my scalp."


"I wrote a few days ago regarding my very first experience with the ring which that was my first day with it. I experienced nausea and fatigue and as the days progressed things became somewhat worse. I ended up feeling dizzy and lightheaded and moody and not motivated to have sex. I removed it earlier today and am already feeling much better without it. I wished so bad that it would not affect me so much badly. But unfortunately it did. "


"I'm in agony while writing this review. I went out at midnight tonight to buy this stuff so I can get relief. Big mistake! I cannot lie still on my bed because I'm in so much pain. Who would make such product to worsen the symptoms already experienced from the yeast infection?? I can't believe with so many negative review this company has not make this product better. It's been 30 mins since I apply the cream and suppository and it still be burn. Never again would I buy this."


"This worked well for hot flashes/night sweats"


"I have taken Wellbutrin SR for about 8 months and I can tell a great difference between the brand name and the generic. "


"I have had relief from SSRI (zoloft) withdrawal using otc meclizine. Specifically with that fuzzy head and vertigo like eye motion symptoms."


"I have suffered with generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder since I can remember. I got prescribed these at 50mg 3 weeks ago. The first few days I got a horrible cold nausea feeling in the pit of my stomach, I had no appetite and I noticed straightaway that it took me longer to orgasm.

3 months into them, I still feel anxious, but for the first time since I can remember I was able to present to a group without shaking, losing my voice and my heart beating rapidly. It almost feels like a small weight has been lifted which gives you that control back over my thoughts. I was able to say 'put your best into it. You will be fine' and I believed it.

This is only a small step to overcoming my anxiety but this medication has helped me a lot."


"VESIcare seems to be helping.  Took Detrol LA for 2 months with some improvement.  Changed to VESIcare for a month and went from going 18 times a day to 10 to 12, and only getting up once most nights.  I am only 36 and still active and the only side effect I have noticed is I have stopped sweating.  Real pain with my job (I'm a firefighter) but just try to think ahead and take measures to cool off as quick as I can."


"I am 66 and have been taking Zetia 10 for nearly 5 years now. I had previously taken Zocor, Mevacor, and Crestor consecutively over a period of about 15 years, each giving me severe muscle pain in my feet and legs. At one point, the pain in my arches was so bad that one doctor diagnosed the problem as plantar fasciitis and recommended surgery. That's when I stopped taking any statins and within a couple of months, the pain was completely gone. When I started taking Zetia, I saw no adverse side effects and my bad cholesterol went down a little. About a year ago, I started having pain and weakness in my legs when standing up or climbing stairs. Now, I'm have pain in my left calf and heel and occasionally in my left arm, shoulder and back."


"I am in the third week of Chantix.  Smoked during the first week, but about half of normal - it was just losing it's appeal.  Quit totally the first day of the second week.  Now 11 days smoke free and it has been wonderful - easy really.  Even the times I thought would be really hard have not been bad - it is more like I am aware that normally I would be smoking but how funny it is that I just don't want to!  Side effects - some nausea, weird dreams, low energy week 2, and I don't want alcohol -great!"


"After reading these reviews I finally understand  all the symptoms I've experienced over the past year and a half. I've had chronic yeast infections and dryness, mood swings to where I am no where near myself, and I am beginning to get random/extra periods while in the middle of my packet. My gynecologist has never suggested the link between BC and my symptoms but I am definitely calling the office tomorrow and switching my birth control immediately."


"I am 31yo and have suffered from acne since I was 13yo. It's not HORRIBLE, but it was bad enough to give me low self esteem/confidence, make me feel depressed, not want to go out on bad flair up days, etc. As an adult I still get pimples and would usually wake up every morning with a new (or 3 new) comedones on my face, so frustrating! I found that using more natural skin products/makeup helped some but not enough. I've been on Tretinoin cream 0.025% for 3 weeks  and my skin already looks amazing! At first I broke out badly for a week and a half, and dry skin, but then I read that's normal and to stick with it. 3 weeks in, clear skin, scars are disappearing, and overall my complexion is so much better. FINALLY!!! Stick with it!"


"Side effects....hoarseness. No appetite..fatigue...stomach upset.  Have been on metropolol which caused shortness of breath.  Still trying to find something without so many side effects.  "


"The therapeutic effect is not as immediate or apparent as Serostim (which I took for weight loss due to AIDS-related wasting). However, its effect, although more subtle, is nevertheless quite extraordinary! The fat is slowly subsiding, even in the back around the waistline (which is SUPER DIFFICULT to get rid of!). The most obvious effect, although secondary to the therapeutic aim of reducing abdominal fatty tissue, is the absolutely fabulous change in my skin texture, color, and overall health. My skin heals at 500% its normal speed. Even fine line wrinkles are lessening in the cheeks and eyes."


"I've had the Nexplanon for over 2 years and I absolutely love it.  The only issue I've had with it is my periods are very irregular which is no big deal for me. I get a period for 2 weeks and then I'm period free for about 4 months, then it will return. I have no problem with that. I plan on using this birth control method for 5 more years. I love it."


"This birth control worked really well for the first few months. I had very light periods, no cramps, no acne, no weight gain, and I didn't get pregnant. This birth control was a miracle for me because I used to have horrible period cramps, and it made them go away completely. But then, about 6 months after taking it, my periods started getting weird. I started getting my period on the active pills instead of the placebo pills. Then, I started getting two periods a month. I would bleed a little bit while having sex. It was so strange. I told my doctor and now I'm switching to another pill. This one was good while it lasted."


"Caused severe side effects."


"I have started Vimpat just over 7 days ago and noticed I feel like losing marbles. I can't think straight, I can't concentrate on anything, can't read anything as can't concentrate long enough to read it. I get really dizzy, I'm forgetting lots, even walked out forgetting hadn't put shoes on. I was only started on 50mg one a day and within 7 days thinking it's making me a nutter."


"I have only been on this birth control for a little over 2 weeks now. I have not been on birth control for over 3 years and had a baby almost a year ago. I quit breastfeeding and decided to go on birth control until me and my husband wanted to try for another. I put it in on the first day of my period like the pamphlet and my gyn told me and I have been bleeding for 2 weeks! I originally got online to see if other women had this happen and even called my gyno to make sure everything was ok. Apparently it is just breakthrough bleeding eventhough you would think that would only be during the middle of the month not for 2 weeks straight! There are no cramps and its very little but extremely annoying. I do like that I can take it out during sex."


"I was initially terrified about the injections, but from my first onwards they have proved to be no trial at all. The delivery method is amazing. I never thought I'd say this, but I even look forward to them, knowing that I'm doing something to help myself. I now truly believe that Avonex is helping. My symptoms have lessened since starting it only three months ago. I hope things continue this way and also hope everyone out there with Multiple Sclerosis finds a similarly effective treatment."


"I had what I thought was going to be a normal period, (my periods have always been heavy), until it just never stopped. It got so bad I had palm size clots and bleeding so bad I had to use cut up towels with three pads. I made a trip to the ER, all blood work was normal. I already was taking 135mg of iron and vitamin c, so I wasn't anemic even though I was bleeding so bad. They sent me home with a prescription of Provera 10mg once a day. It slowed the bleeding down but never stopped it completely. Was referred  to an endocrinologist, I'm due to have a ultrasound to check for fibroids, but have to have a endometrial biopsy. I was still on provera way past the 10 days it caused shortness of breath and bad weight gain. I had to stop it."


"I took Mucinex, It works wonders but the smell/tastes of it is horrible."


"I've been taking this birth control for four years and I started taking it when I was 16. It was my first brand of birth control and I plan to stick with it until I want to start trying for children. I have never had much of an acne problem, but with this pill my face is always clear. I never had any of the nausea others have written about. I do have to agree that like others my cup size has grown over time and I am pleased! As far as weight goes I don't believe this pill has changed me at all. I have stayed the same weight since high school. My hormones are crazy only the week before my period.

Overall this is a great medication for some and a not so great medication for others. I would not blow it off right away. I would give it a shot."


"It help with less migraines but I lost a ton of weight I usually was at 130-135  but Topamax I was at 112-115. I never had an appetite"


"I'm currently on Benicar 20 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg. I started with the fluid pill first and I noticed weight loss but with headaches. I went back for a follow up and my blood pressure was even higher so my doctor put me on Benicar to take with the fluid pill. I noticed weight gain and pains in my sides. The good news is my blood pressure finally came down. The side effects have seemed to subside since I've spaced the time in between the medication."


"Run away. This med have me hives and nausea , kept thinking it would go away. I can't take it anymore. Sort of helped with anxiety but not totally."


"I got Tri Sprintec as a birth control but I should have gone on it a long time ago to regulate periods. I love being able to predict when I'll start bleeding and I love that it has shortened my periods (Now it is six days).
I had been on doxycycline for acne but it conflicted with the pill so I stopped. The first month of Tri Sprintec I was worried because I didn't stop bleeding. After the first month though, I've had no problems and no irregular bleeding. I've been on it for half a year."


"3 weeks with gout (June 20th-July 12): had to use a wheelchair before I found Walgreens All Day Pain Relief 220MG, 50 Tablets. Needed 2 pills for first 12 hours and 1 pill every 12 hours. It definitely relieved!"


"I'm a 43 year old with Type II diabetes and high blood pressure. I was having severe erectile dysfunction  starting about 6 months ago. I let it go until I wasn't able to complete the act, and had a great deal of trouble getting going. I talked to my doctor and she put me on Cialis daily 5 mg.

    Not only am I able to get an erection AT WILL, I am abe to last longer, go multiple times and my wife says I am hitting spots I was never able to hit before. We are both grinning from ear to ear. Excellent product. Ive been on for 3 weeks and no side effects yet.....we'll see. I feel like I'm 16 again.....THANK YOU CIALIS!!!!!"


"Absolutely brilliant medicine....... I live again."


"75mg x2 daily - no noticeable effect.
150mg x2 daily - slight effect of calm, not really therapeutic.
300mg x2 daily - feeling calm, a little sleepy, but I quite like that... it is still early days, but I don't feel the need to take any valium anymore. I stopped it weeks ago.  I like being in this calm fluffy state, rather than sweating and thinking 100 miles an hour and stressing out.

I am taking this medication for an anxiety disorder, panic attacks and lower limbs pain and walking problems...supposedly they are all linked."


"I am 16 years old and my acne has been a problem for a little over 6 months. I was previously on Acticlate for about 2 months which did not help my skin much and had terrible side effects like vomitting. My dermatologist switched me to Oracea 40 mg and I was hopeful. The first week on it, my skin became so much worse and I wanted to get off of it. However, after that first week, my skin began to clear up and now only has a few red spots. This medication works great, you just have to push through the first week and remember that things get worse before they get better. I also love Oracea because it has no side effects on me which is great."


"I have been taking this medicine for 2 days and feel absolutely horrible. My mouth keeps watering, I have a metallic taste, can't eat, feel like I'm going to throw up and fast heartbeat "


"I'm on my 3rd recurrence of cluster headaches, and this time I managed to get to the doctor and renew my verapamil prescription right away, after my first attack, and it's worked immediately, I'm a solid week in now and have not gotten another attack, I'm on 80mg 3x per day.  It's worked well for me during past episodes, but I was really surprised that it controlled this recurrence so immediately."


"I had an abscess that was underneath the tooth, dentist did a root canal without treating it first, the next day my cheek was totally swollen, the abscess had blown up. I went back and they prescribed clindamyacin 4 doses a day. The first day was horrible, bad taste in my mouth, and generally feeling like crap. Every dose became easier and easier. So best advice I can give is take a good probiotic and lots of water, if you are a female to avoid a yeast infection, do not take within 2 hours of the antibiotic. Also I got a very bitter taste in my mouth every time I took the medicine, it wasn't until the 3rd day that the bitterness finally subsided. I had no heartburn like others did. Stick with this medicine and you will see results."


"I had my third shot on Nov. 11.  So far, I am not impressed.  Getting the shots did not hurt at all.  Just a pinch and I felt the fluid go in a little bit.  Not a problem.  I have no relief at all as of yet.  My doctor did say that it can take up to a month after the third shot, which will be Dec. 11.  I really hope that he is correct.  My pain level is at least a 5 every day, and once a day shoots up to a 10.  This is all after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus.  My next course of action is total knee replacement.  At 54, I did not expect this to happen.  I am so disgusted.  Just praying that the shots kick in soon.  Not happy at this point."


"This is the worst I've felt in my life.  I have severe anxiety and nervousness, shaking, chest tightness, nausea, I feel so sad at points in the day, my skin is breaking out terribly, my body looks swollen, my throat feels like it is going to close up when I have panic attacks from this stuff.  The worst of it is when I ovulate and then I go through cycles of being really tired and feeling dizzy. "


"The effect on blood pressure normalization is almost magic. However, after many years of use, the drop in testosterone has been significant. The drop in libido and desire caused a relationship to fail and the low testosterone aggravated a weight gain problem. By utilizing topical testosterone supplements, libido is much improved and weight loss is possible again."


"Please read this. I've battled anxiety for a long time and when I had a recent bad time with it I needed extra help. Was prescribed Lexapro 10mg once a day. I'm a big hypochondriac so taking new medicine is a painful experience for me. The first week was tough, just adjusting to the meds but by day 4 I literally felt like I had done a 180 degree turn around. It works and I felt great. Unfortunately after about 4 weeks I broke out in hives and had to discontinue but I highly suggest for anyone battling anxiety. Zoloft was horrible. I did have withdrawals from both meds - the brain zaps but was asked to increase my water intake and that help flush it out. Had withdrawals for about a week."


"Hello! I wanted to give a complete day-to-day experience taking ZPak. Summary: I started to get sore throat, ear ache, fatigue, body chills, vomiting, and a slight fever. I would cough up white/slightly yellow mucus. Day 1: Fatigue was reduced by 80%, less coughing,didn't cough up as much mucus but dry hacking cough was still there. Day 2: Coughing was still there, ear infection reduced, little to no mucus. Couldn't lay down or would still get coughing fits, would have to sporadically sit up so I wouldn't cough throughout the night, had liquid stools. Day 3: Felt 70% better, coughing turned into an annoying honking cough with no mucus, slight blurry vision, some sweating, dryness, continued watery stools. Day 4: Feeling 75-80% better."


"I am used to Percocet due to years of back pain.  In the hospital after a kidney procedure I had some moderate pain that morphine IV did not impact.  I got one IV of dilaudid and the pain level decreased to a very acceptable level and I went home with virtually no pain"


"I have read many of the other reviews of Sumavel DosePro and agree that I have had some not fire when I go to inject myself.  I have learned to be patient and continue to hold the applicator in place and continually push it into my skin until the injector fires.  It sometimes takes a while, but it does eventually goes off.  You just need to be patient.  Yes, it's frustrating, but when you have a migraine, it's worth the wait.  This has been a miracle drug for me and I will continue to use it as long as it is available to me!"


"I always had a stomach like a goat nothing bothered it then at 47. I had to go to ER they gave me Bentyl and it helped. I had another attack and screamed in pain my husband reminded me of the Bentyl and I took a drink of the liquid and pain stopped right then. This is a wonderful medication...I can function. I get a little loopy but no pain. I was diagnosed with IBS-C."


"Does a good job at preventing pregnancy... But!!!!!! Gained a little weight and I CRY EVERY SINGLE DAY ! Makes me so emotional. Was on for 4 months decided I needed a new one. Also gave me some cramps and Breast tenderness the first month"


"Pros: Cleans out colon well without pain, cramping.

Cons: Cost, taste

Best colonoscopy prep I've ever taken. The taste isn't great but then what prep is?  Follow the tips others have posted and drinking the Moviprep will be easier.

I'd use this again."


"This drug is amazing!! I have noticed that it works better for me if I  take it on an empty stomach with a full glass of water, with nothing to eat 30min -1hr after I have taken it. Please make sure you drink plenty of water. Lost 6lbs in one week!"


"I've been suffering from Bi-polar since diagnosed as a teen. I'm almost 40 now and I spent a better part of those years unmedicated. I had a lot of therapies however, and did well managing with the "tools" given to me over the years.
In 2014 I began to exhibit signs of OCD and in 2016 Anxiety (both can be bed fellows with Bipolar)
It was the anxiety that landed me at my doctors office. 2 weeks before departing for Europe and I began to have severe anxiety attacks. I was prescribed effexor, which did NOT work for me, then down the line of SSRIs , finally we tried Prozac.
 It worked very well for me, it even helped a little with the mania. But it did help wonders with depression and anxiety and I am functioning about 75% better than I was."


"I have used this in wound care for 10 yrs; it is to flush the wound if the infection gets nasty smelling and or thick drainage. But do consult a doctor."


"I had the Implanon put in in 2010, my 3 years is up and I'm getting it removed tomorrow, THANK GOD! The only reason I kept it in so long is because I didn't have insurance. I bled 3 weeks out of the month. I am not looking forward to the removal tomorrow either. I think I am going to try a mini pill!"


"I would like to say this is a very good birth control and it works! I have had it for three years in June and I have to get it out because at the time it was 3 years guess it went up to four, which is cool. I would just like to say I have gained lots of weight since I have got it but I was a little under weight 100lb. I have gained about 35 pounds since then! which I don't mind but if I wasn't watching my weight I would be scared to see what I would weigh! So keep that in the back of your mind. At first I had non-stop bleeding which lasted a long time but eventually went away.  So overall its a great BC."


"I had my ParaGard placed in October of 2011. I remember it being a quick process and just slight cramping when it was inserted. I've had it for 4 years now and am about to have it replaced with a new one because I love it so much! The only negative thing I have found is that I get cramps monthly. I NEVER experienced menstrual cramps before I got the ParaGard, I now know what my friends always complained about. It has also been 100% effective for my husband and I since I've had it ;)"


"I have found this medicine gave wonderful relief from restless leg syndrome, 0.5 mg three hours before going to bed. I am experiencing waking up next morning with a headache. I don't know if it's the medication or what. I want to continue taking it for the restless leg syndrome because it does stop that."


"This medicine works well. I think it works better as an add-on though than by itself. I took it by itself, 600mg, and it completely got rid of my seizures. I had some bad side effects though which included terrible headaches and lots of sweating. It was unbearable. I went down to 200mg with another seizure medication (Lamictal) and am currently seizure free and doing much better. The side effects from the Aptiom have completely gone away.

If this drug gives you side effects at a high dose try it as an add-on therapy with a low dose of another medication. Being on two medications both at low doses will probably give you less side effects.

Also very expensive. Can get a little help from company though if you call them."


"This pill didn't give me any of the listed side effects, and my periods were only about 2-3 days (which is very short for me, loved that). If that was all, I would give it a 10, HOWEVER, it completely killed my ability to get aroused (wet), my libido was there and I was very into the intimate moments, but I was very dry ....unlike me.  It also made my skin and scalp very dry too, it's like it sucked all the moisture out of my body.  I switched to a different pill and the dryness problems went away in about a week.  Definitely not the right birth control pill for me."


"I have been on Arava for 1 month.  So far - hardly any side effects.  It has improved the quality of my life in that I am not experiencing any pain.  I will continue to monitor any side-effects over the next few months."


"As I aged my bowel motions became increasingly difficult. The physicians I consulted recommended more water, dietary fiber, exercise, etc. but none had a lasting effect. I tried synthetic glucose derivatives - lots and lots of gas and cramps! For me dietary fiber produced too much uncontrolled gas. The osmotic agents produced too much water loss and I was warned about potential electrolyte imbalance. Finally I tried PEG3350 and Nirvana! It's convenient, tasteless, dissolves in all liquids, stable, and for me no apparent side effects. I discovered if I titrate the dose I control the nature of my bowel motion. As an OTC product it seems to be one of those rare preparations that won't put me in the hospital."


"This medicine does not work, no benefits from this at all, it is also advertised that the drug can improve your cognitive performances, for me the opposite is true, I feel a lot dumber! My personal and not medical advice is to stick with older medications since vortioxetine is relatively new on the market and not so much about this molecule is known."


"Years ago I was taking Zoloft for depression.  I was not taking it for Trichotillomania, though I had been pulling my hair out of a long time.  It wasn't until I stopped taking Zoloft and started back pulling my hair out that I even realized I had stopped!  It was the only medicine that ever helped and I wasn't even expecting it too.  Unfortunately I can't take it long-term because it causes me to have facial tics which over time become very painful.  But most people don't have that problem."


"I have been on Hytrin for at last 20 years. Started at 1 mg. daily. It helped my flow immediately. Now at the age of 84 I am on 15 mg. It still works pretty well. I have occasionally had episodes of low blood pressure leading to dizziness but I'm not sure whether that it from Hytrin or other blood pressure medicine I take. My blood pressure seems to fluctuate a lot. Again, I don't know the cause(s)."


"I use Cialis occasionally on new encounters. Have noticed that although it works perfectly well most of the times, I have experienced occasions when there was little or no effect at all. The price is high so I restrict its use at a minimum."


"I'm a 19 year old female who has now been on Topamax for 6 weeks, 150mg daily. I have a daily headache that ranges from pain threshold of 1 to 5, plus nausea, with a haze over my brain which slows down capability and causes general fatigue. Every 3 weeks this works its way up until a major migraine attack of a 9. But with Topamax the daily headache so far has reduced to a 1/2.
"


"I started getting acne after 27 yrs of age i.e., after my kids were born. As I started getting many breakouts I was worried and depressed. I tried many other medicines but the real change happened when I started on with isotretinoin... the doctor prescribed me with 10mg twice a day in the first month but as two weeks passed on, many other severe acne popped out from no where. I was totally worried but I did not stop the medicine and continued having it. After about 3 months there were few changes, even my dosage was increased but I was still getting acne in the 4th month. Also I still didnt lose hope and continued with the medication as prescribed by the doc. Now it's 8th month and all the acne has cleared, only a few marks remain."


"I am now on day 5 of Acamprosate, First two days I felt amazing. especially on the first day taking the tablets gave me such a hyper rush. same on the second day and I had no cravings whatsoever, even sat with my flatmates who were drinking and had no desire to drink at all I was elated. Until it came to the 3rd day and I spent half the day itching for a drink until I got home, ate lots of junk food and had my tablets- then I felt fine again. But on the 4th day no amount of junk food, squash, taking my tablets... I itched for a drink up until I fell asleep. Has anyone else experienced this? I notice about 5min after I take the tablet I feel really high and hyper, it then wears off until I take my next dosage again."


"For anyone suffering from depression I cannot tell you how much this medication has changed my life.  I had been suffering with depression and anxiety for years, severe depression started a year ago when I lost my father, I had
Been taking Zoloft 100 mg for about 5 years, worked great for the anxiety but did nothing for my depression. My doctor added Wellbutrin 100 mg to my Zoloft, the Wellbutrin was awful, gave me kind of an agitated energy and no help with the depression. I'm on day 3 with Cymbalta, weaning off Zoloft, so 50mg Zoloft a day with 30 mg Cymbalta.  Before I started taking Cymbalta I was to the point of just wanting to go to sleep and never wake up. Cymbalta has given me back my life! I only wish I had known about it
sooner!"


"Been on 25mg for about 5 weeks. Nothing changing so I'm taking 37.5mg--1-1/2 pills. Just on my 4th day. And still not noticing anything. Had dry mouth for a few days, and my sleep is a little restless.
Suffered from this depression going on 8 years. I'm 32 years old. I've heard that 50mg is the therapeutic dose.
So that's where I'm headed, I'm determined to beat this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I've been so scared of side effects, especially falling deeper into this abyss of sadness and loneliness. But I must prevail."


"I have taken Nexavar for almost eight years, with stable disease. The most on going side effect is only the bottoms of my feet bother me, like they bother a diabetic, I have to buy cotton socks, and they bother me during each season than there ok after a few weeks. I have worked five days a week, this whole time and only missed a day because of a doctors appointment every three months."


"I'm not one for hyperbole but genuinely think its a miracle.

I've just had a proper good sneeze. Full inhalation, full 'James Brown' "Owwww!" At the end.

First time in over a year not been halted mid-sneeze by the pain of the inhalation or having had to control the sneeze to a mild 'heeewwwwww-Ouch'

Sounds ridiculous to those who've never felt that way, but in addition to the normal yada-yada-yada of  being able to stand up and walk etc a proper sneeze or laugh or cough is priceless."


"The first couple of months, I didn't see anything wrong with it. But I've had this type of birth control for maybe 9 months now, and it has been the absolute worst. I use to not get over 120lb, and now I am 146lb. I would not recommend this birth control to anyone."


"This medication was prescribed to me by my psychiatrist for thr chronic pain I suffer from in my legs and lower back. He doesn't prescribe opiates in his scope of practice but still wanted to help me out. This drug takes awhile to kick in. It's very unfortunate especially when you have pain that needs to be relieved ASAP. Everytime I take this pill it makes me feel emotional and physically impaired as if I had a drink. It helps a bit for my restless legs but for pain it really doesn't do anything. It definitsly does not relieve anxiety or panic disorder. Keep in mind I am

still on a low dose of 200 Mg per day but my PCP wanted to increase it to 300 Mg three times a day, which I disagreed with. It's not effective for pain and anxiety for me."


"I was diagnosed with PMDD about 9 months ago, after tracking symptoms with my Gynecologist. We tried the Yaz/Zoloft treatment (25mg) for three months, one week prior to your period. The first month, it worked like a charm. The second, I started feeling off, almost numb to things. By the third, I was a basket case. This is also when the weight gain kicked in - I gained almost 15 lbs in 5-6 weeks. If I wasn't depressed before, this definitely did the trick. My Doctor then took me off the Yaz/Zoloft regimen and opted to stop my periods altogether, to stop the monthly hormone fluctuation. I have been on Seasonique for three months and it has been amazing! I am finally feeling back to myself after almost a year."


"So far, excellent and no issues. Had to split the pill in quarters, even half 2.5 was too much, felt like I was going to pop down there."


"I have been on it for 5 days, 2 squirts each arm. On day 3 I started feeling nausea. Day 4 I only did 1 squirt each arm and still felt the same. Day 5 I did not take any. Will try again tomorrow. My levels were 167 and I am 38 years old. I was tired all the time, gained weight, bad mood, not very happy doing things I used to enjoy. I really want this to work because I want to feel normal again. Still trying to get used to the application, works better if you use a hair dryer, dries a lot faster."


"I have been on Avinza for about the last 7 years. Avinza changed my ability to spend time with and enjoy my family and friends with a bit of help from Roxicodone (oxycodone) 15mg up to 10 a day. I have taken Avinza at 60mg all the way up to
240mg per things. I have had a cervical fusion and bilateral shoulder problems and surgeries."


"I have severe COPD, and have been on Advair 50/250 for 11 years. I am also diabetic due to being overweight, and not being able to exercise. My FEV is 15%. Advair helps, BUT it has played havoc with my blood sugar. I lost 65 pounds since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a year ago. My blood sugar went down to normal levels since I had to  quit taking the Advair (temporarily) due to the high cost. My breathing worsened, so I refilled my Advair, but I my blood sugar went back up over 200. I'm in a dilemma now. The insulin is  $600/month. The Advair is  $200. If I don't take the Advair, I hardly need any insulin. I do take Xopenex/ipratropium via neb, but that doesn't last all day like the Advair. It's part B, so more affordable by far."


"I suffer from severe anxiety & mild depression. I had no idea how this was ruining my life. I was so nervous to try medication but finally got the point that I was desperate. Tried Zoloft, Wellbutrin & Celexia. Felt awful or had such strong side effects that I couldn't continue them. Finally tried effexor at 37.5mg for 2 weeks. Those 2 weeks were absolute hell. So sick & emotions were all over the place. I was about to give up on it but my doctor suggested 75mg. Wow! What a difference. Still have the side effects (nausea, constipation, some dizziness, loss of appetite, brain fog) but hoping those go away as I'm only on week 3 now at new dosage. Mentally I'm already feeling better! Not sure how much for my anxiety but definitely for depression"


"I just started these yesterday, I weigh 164 pounds at 5'3". I do a lot of exercise and therefore do not consider myself to be obese but there are definitely a couple of tyres I would like to loose before Xmas. So far no major side affects, I drink lots of water anyway and have never slept that well. They haven't completely stopped me from eating and I am only eating healthy foods as looking at cakes etc make me feel ill. Will keep you posted over the next 4-8 weeks."


"I was taking 300 mg of Seroquel XR for 6 months. The best part was being able to get a good night’s sleep. I had only been getting 2-3 hrs rest each night. My mind would race and it was a struggle to stay in bed. I would get up and start cleaning. Additionally, I would spend hours creating plans to organize my life. I had not actually followed any of those plans and I was depressed. I took Latuda for a short period but it made my inability to sleep worse. That’s when I was switched to Seroquel. I loved the way it helped me feel normal. The bad - I gained 30 lbs in 6 months. I asked to be taken off and started taking Geodon. Once again I cannot sleep. I am going to ask to go back to Seroquel XR and focus on following a healthy diet."
