"I'm lucky enough to have showed side effects the first day! I started Venlaflaxine 6:00am before work and experienced so much energy I barely knew what to do with it. This was nice considering I am always tired, but the energy came along with clenched jaw, dialated pupils, and no appetite what so ever. When I got home to try to sleep at 10pm I was not able to. I had so much anxiety from thinking I heard things that weren't there. I was shaking from anxiety and being so abnormally cold. Woke up all night long and at one point was wet from sweat. Thanks to these early side effects and others stories I only needed to take this drug one day to decide I need to stay away from it."


"Works GREAT for me. Only a half a pill calms my brain enough to put me to sleep. The only negative is the price - $62 for only 7 pills!"


"Works well to stop my anxiety.  I can participate in life again and I am doing things that I used to do.   Started with 75 mg started to become more effective at 150 mg.  Some side effects but they are getting better with time."


"Was given this medication to relieve the pain in my spine but instead I started having sleepless nights unable to get comfortable without severe pain to roll over.  Bowels started to back up. Swollen hands and feet,
I was unable to wear my rings because water pills would not help give relief. I had a blood rash across my face and swollen eyes and started bruising with every little bump of hitting something. I started throwing up 10 hours after I took my morning pill and would throw up everything from dinner the night before and breakfast from the current day. I started throwing up the pill with only the outer layer missing 10 hours or so after taking it about 12 days into starting this med. I would not recommend this for anyone!"


"This medication has helped me live a normal life well more normal. I don't worry much about nothing and I can go into Walmart and feel comfortable. My social life is improving as well. There were times I couldn't get myself to interact with people sometimes I wouldn't even answer the phone. I've only been on this medicine for a little over a month it has truly been a lifesaver. I am sleeping like a baby I can't remember the last time I've struggled to calm down and go to sleep only to wake up several times a night using the bathroom or just couldn't relax. My quality of life is getting much better."


"This is the one and only thing that has helped my acne.
I have tried both oral and topical antibiotics, oral antibiotics helped for a while however my body became used to the drug and the effects wore off and my acne returned.
At one point I was considering roaccutane but I am so glad I didn't.
The two things with this cream is time and persistence. At first it will seem everything is worse, dry/burning/peeling skin which is red raw. Only apply minimally at first (1 small blob) and allow your skin to get used to the cream otherwise your skin will burn. After time you can start to apply more. I have been using for 4 months now and I apply twice daily but still have to be careful not to apply too much otherwise I do feel the ill effects."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is my first prep. I avoided corn, nuts and seeds 3 days prior.  Started my liquid diet Sunday AM.
Sunday 7PM I Mixed Suprep with Crystal Light Lemonade and chugged it all down pretty quickly. I had sips of peppermint tea when I stopped for a breath between chugs. I read this advice somewhere. This really helped with the nasty aftertaste.
After drinking it all, I rinsed my mouth with a nice minty mouthwash. Then I filled my own water bottle with 32 oz of water to drink. (Do not use the Suprep cup to measure the water you follow up the Suprep with).
It went to work in about 30 minutes. I'll probably take the anti-nausea  med before my morning dose at 7 am.
Procedure tomorrow at 1:30."


"My insomnia comes from anxiety issues when I try to sleep. I found that Ambien didn't make me sleepy but it did relax me enough to fall asleep. There are tons of stories floating around about strange behavior and I have my share. I found this only happens when I try to do things between ingestion and onset. Only take it when you are already in bed, relaxing, and attempting to fall alseep, and you shouldn't have any problems."


"I take a dose of 600mg at 8 or 9pm and am in bed by 10pm and wake up feeling refreshed. This has been the only thing other than Restoril that has helped me sleep. There is sometimes I have high stress and have to take a sedative to help me sleep. The weird thing is if I take it at 10pm I fall asleep by 2am."


"I first had a prescription for MoviPrep and went to pick it up. The pharmacist said it was $99 with insurance. I almost fell over and asked him if he would call the Dr. and  get something else. He filled a prescription for Gavilyte N (same thing but generic), and it was $4. Really!

I did everything that I was supposed to do with a bland diet 2 days before and clear liquids the day before after a bland diet at breakfast. I mixed the prep in the morning and put it in the refrigerator. It was a gallon to be used at one time.

I was surprised that it did not taste bad. I did use a straw as others had recommended but took it out of the refrigerator because I was too cold. Worked after 3rd 8 oz cup. Drank about 3 liters, and I was done."


"Another update - Today I have lost 20 lbs. and been on Qsymia since March 9, 2014.  (3 months, 9 days).  I went four weeks with no loss, then lost a few more.  It's slow and steady, but it does work.  It's not a miracle pill, you have to do your part! It does help with cravings and appetite control. I also have to stay very consistent with Miralax and stool softeners because it does cause constipation. You have to drink a lot of water with this medication, too, as it will cause you to be thirsty. It's good to get into the habit of drinking lots of water anyway!"


"On Saxenda for about a month and dropped 18lbs with no ill effects whatsoever but my insurance does not cover it, and my out of pocket is almost $1,300.  Everything I have tried, nothing worked except Saxenda but I can't afford it......why does it cost so much?  Is there a breakdown on the cost posted somewhere?  I guess Novo Nordisk a/s is making quite a bit, sure would like to see who gets paid what.....tomast106@yahoo.com"


"This is an update from my previous posting. I need to correct that I take 1000mg of Metformin NOT 2000mg a day. On Thurday I took my 4th injection of Bydureon. At first I had some nausea and heartburn. By my 3rd injection that has subsided.  As far as weight loss, I've only lost 9lbs so far. My fasting sugar in the morning the day after injection is about 118. However, as the week goes on they tend to spike. The highest I've had is 185. Before Bydureon I ranged between 120-150. I've also noticed that my ankles swell by the evening time. Which is somewhat new. During these four weeks I had stopped my Actos because I couldn't afford the copay and but I was able to restart it this week. I put a call into my doctor. I'll see what she has to say"


"I have been an MS patient since I was 17, I am 29 now, I have been using Avonex for 10 years now and am so happy with the results.  I take it before I go to bed at night on a weekend, I also take a couple of Tylenol with codeine (#1) and usually only have a slight headache when I wake up in the morning.  I do get a lot of migraines, but who knows if that has anything to do with the medication or the fact that I have Multiple Sclerosis.  Avonex has worked wonders for me, I usually only have an MS attack on average every 3 to 4 years and they aren't usually that severe.  I have relapsing and remitting MS.  I would recommend Avonex to anyone who is newly diagnosed.  It has changed my life."


"Been on this pill for over two years now. I originally went on to control heavy periods, acne and immobilizing cramps. The first three months I didn't get a period at all, even with taking the sugar pills. This scared me, but my doctor told me it's perfectly healthy and I have since stopped taking the sugar pills all together. I've always struggled with my weight, but I didn't have more than maybe a few pounds weight gain when I started taking it. I've recently become sexually active and think that the pill might be slightly interfering with my sex drive (seeing as it's not very high), but don't know that as a fact. Overall I'm very happy with all this pill and plan to continue taking it."


"This drug was pushed for off-label uses that the FDA did not approve. Google seroquel for more details including legal repercussions faced by the pharmaceutical company. The drug also has severe side effects and so, should be weighed against the pros and cons of other (possibly more) appropriate drugs.

Due to this Seroquel, I became allergic to the sun, also known as a photoallergic eruption. Seroquel was prescribed to me for insomnia and not only was I in extreme pain for months due to burning of the skin, itchiness, and more, but I went on to develop the worst insomnia of my life that left me debilitated and suicidal."


"never again vomited so much after taking it and still feel sick"


"When I first started taking it I had a lot of side effects, like nausea, sleepiness, insomnia, muscle twitching, decreased sexual interest, headache, nightmares, need to move legs and others I can't remember but I was desperate to get rid of the anxiety so persisted. Most of the side effects went away after several days. I still have the leg movement and insomnia and but it's manageable.
It took about 5 1/2  weeks before I noticed any effect by when I feel happier, like I can't even think in a depressed way, and I can talk to people online with ease. Still panic about the outside with strangers everywhere and conversing one on one is still hard. Nut now after 6 weeks my doctor has put me up from 50mg to 100mg so I'll see how that goes."


"I have suffered from headaches for years with relief with Excedrin. However, I was taking up to 8 at the onset to keep it from becoming a migraine. I'm really surprised that the Drs didn't tell my about "Excedrin abuse" since I told all that I was taking that much. However, when prescribed Lyrica for fibro pain, my headaches were gone to maybe 3 a week. So I highly recommend this for serious headache problems. Does help with Fibro pain. But, weight gain and dry mouth are my biggest side effect and is to the extent that I almost want to go back to 8 Excedrin a day. Hope this helps someone!"


"Very good"


"I used to take the Maxalt in pill form and these work 2x as fast. I took one today at the first sign of a headache and it stopped it in it's tracks in just under 15 minutes. The pill used to take 30 and often the headache had time to bloom and get bad by then. They didn't immediately get rid of the nausea I get, but it went away in about 20 min after it stopped the bloom.  I rated these as a 9 because of the taste. They taste a bit like a peppermint candy that's gone bad, but it's bearable and only lasts for about 5 seconds. I usually wash the flavor away with coffee - I like to back up anything I take for a headache with a good dose of caffeine. These will be replacing my Maxalt pills even if they do taste awful."

"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've noticed a wide range of comments from no side effects to tons of side effects and I think everyone's body chemistry is just different and you have to fins what works for you.  I haven't had any side effects so far and have been on Reclipsen for 2 months but I also have a lot of hormonal imbalances that I'm trying to correct due to having a brain tumor and surgery to remove it.  My hair has been falling out and I've lost 25 lbs since my surgery (March 25th) so nothing I am experiencing can really be contributed to my birth control."


"so my boyfriend and I had sex, the condom broke, and we didn't realize until after he had finished inside of me (mega bummer). I took the plan b pill probably 30-45 minutes after we realized what had happened. the side effects hit HARD starting the same day. nausea, lower back pain, sore boobs, absolutely killer cramps, headache, fatigue, the whole thing. it made me feel like I was actually dying, but then 5 days later I got my period. it's super heavy flow and I have the worst cramps I've ever had, but I'm assuming this means I'm not pregnant. rather the side effects than a child :-)"


"Oracea works for the most part. My skin has improved but I still suffer from the upset stomach at times as one of the side effects. I have been using Oracea for about one year and it has helped my skin clear up and has helped prevent the huge lumps from over taking my face."


"I used Pristiq for 8 days but couldn't tolerate the side effects. I was warned by my psychiatrist that the side effects could take 2-3 weeks, however, I couldn't afford to wait much. The side effects include: feeling thirsty, having thoughts of going mad, fear, palpitations, heat (had to be in a cold room or otherwise I'll feel anxious), heightened anger, panic attacks.

The first few days of use were fine, but I had to discontinue because my work and social life suffered."


"Tekturna seemed to help my blood pressure initially, however after 2 to 3 days the muscles in my calves were achy from even short walks, and after nearly 2 weeks my mouth and teeth became extremely sensitive and it hurt to eat or chew much of anything, even brushing my teeth became painful. I am going to stop taking this because the side effects are too uncomfortable."


"Caused cramps and weight gain took it out after 3 months after the crazy mood swings"


"I have been on Victoza for approximately 3 months.  It has brought my A1C down from 11.7 to 5.8.  Had headaches and nausea the first couple of weeks - that has passed.  I used to wake up with sugars in the 300s (dawn phenomenon) - now my sugars are stable at 100-115.  I also lost 17 pounds in 2 months so far.  This drug works but unfortunately my insurance refuses to pay for it because it is too "new."  I am using up my last sample pen and then will probably go back to using Symlin."


"Cialis worked for me!  I'm a 48 year old with a past history of benign prostate hyperplasia since treated, now experiencing erectile dysfunction.  Used it last night with rousing success. I would say I felt like a teenager again, but even then I had performance anxiety issues which went away once I got married. Good thing this wasn't around then otherwise I probably would have gotten myself in big trouble!

Weirdest side effect though.  Whenever I got an erection, I felt this sensation come up the middle of my torso and it made me laugh uncontrollably.  The wife thought I lost it!"


"I love this medicine! Before I would always worry about the next time I was going to get a headache. I couldn't work or play with my son, I hated it. But now if I get one I can just take my imitrex and 30 minutes later its gone like I never had a headache at all! The only thing I dont like is it is pricey, but I will pay because it works very well. Now that I have tried it, I couldn't live without it."


"I was kind of scared to use Belviq because of all the other reviews but, I took the Belviq for two weeks did not feel anything. I felt a little dizzy and had dry mouth but other than that I did not have any other side effects.  did not loose any weight, did not curb my appetite at all. I paid a lot of money and it did not do me any justice."


"I am 36 and this product does not work for me. I am using 20 MG with no results and side effects."


"I have had issues with both knees for approx 21 years. I had my left knee replaced in Aug of 2014. I DONT want to experience that type of pain again... So Today I received my 2nd injection of Euflexxa and I'm limping a little more than normal. However, besides today I can tell a slight difference.. I'm hoping after my 3rd injection I can get back to walking and jogging.. It is driving me nuts Sitting still. I'm afraid to gain any weight back."


"I suffer from chronic constipation ever since I was a toddler (now 25 yrs). My boyfriend is a nurse and suggested this to me about 7 months ago. It definitely works, although each time has been a slightly different experience. It doesn't work well on a full stomach I have noticed. Don't drink too much water either or your butt may explode. I took it today after being constipated for 3 days at about 1pm and had my first poop at about 3:30pm. It is now 5:50pm and I've been to the bathroom every 10 minutes pooping out straight water. I have had perfect poops with this stuff and also experiences like this with mass amounts of diarrhea. I also have suffered nausea today and a couple of other times. My lower abdomen is also sensitive to the touch"


"I have been on the medicine for about 1 month.  It took all the pain away.  The side effects are awful.  Blood pressure way too high.  I already have high blood pressure and this put it over the top.  Dry mouth, sweats, insomnia at night but once I get to sleep, I sleep for hours.  Curling of fingers and toes is painful and scary.  Foggy memory.  The cons outweigh the pros.  I have tried Celexa, Paxil, Cymbalta and now Savella and none of them work.  If I did not have the side effects, I would continue taking.  I have not been pain free and able to do normal housework and other chores in years."


"I have been on Seasonique for about a year now, and I need to get off of it immediately. When I start a new pack, everything goes great for the first 4 weeks. Once I hit the 5th week, I have non stop bleeding until I start an entire new pack. "


"After reading so many positive reviews on this site, I decided to try Lamotrigine. I found it to be the most effective long-term drug for depression and mood stability. Having tried antidepressants and most mood stabilizers, this was the best drug for me. It does not make me tired or drugged up - just substantially reduces depression. Reduces overall depression, SI, obsessions and anxiety. Slowly went to 200mg/day as I couldn't feel much difference at 100. I had to switch to the brand name as generic was giving me stomach problems. Otherwise no side effects."


"I switched from the pill to the ring, and I am now back on the pill. I did love how easy it was and didn't have to think about it everyday, but I did experience vaginal dryness and a decreased libido (which I mean, is good when you don't want to be pregnant, and don't even want to have sex to begin with). I experienced a disconnect with my body and mind, my mind would be willing but I could not become lubricated, and vise versa. I do have to say I feel back to normal being back on the pill. Still consider trying the ring because every body is different and are affected by hormone levels differently. It just wasn't right for me and my body."


"I took this medicine in early June for Bronchitis. It worked and I was all better by the time it was done. In early July I began to feel general malaise with various sypmtoms, nausea, fatigue etc. They did blood work and found that my AST and LST #'s were near 1000 and 900 respectively. It took 4 months for my numbers to go down. And a month later I started to experience gastrointestinal problems which is still going on. Not a good experience at all."


"Drop blood pressure to within normal limits on first dose. Been using since 1998."


"I have to say, after using this medication, I felt so much better.  It helped restore me back to some order after experiencing, pressure on the head, ears, nauseous and dizziness!  I was feeling so out of balance and this pill did restore my normal balance."


"I just recently had my 4th Botox injection. For the first time, other than needing to use catheters due to retention (just 1 1/2 wks now), I feel normal. Every 4 hrs, and my bladder is actually full!! Over the next couple of weeks that will get better, but I still might have to cath. (knowledge from past experience) after intercourse and 1st thing in the AM. I'm okay with that. Forgot what that was like since my hyst 10 yrs. ago. For those who are frustrated after two weeks: Patience...give it time. It takes a few times for things to begin to be better, and each Botox brings better relief.

The pain during the injections, although quite powerful, are well worth the results!! At least for me."


"I've struggled with panic attacks, anxiety, and other symptoms stemming from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. First my Dr gave me Ativan which made me tired, and helped with my symptoms slightly. After a couple of days though, it just stopped working. I was then bumped up to low dose Xanax which worked slightly better but my dose kept needing to be increased because of the loss of effectiveness. The other problem I had with Xanax was that 15 minutes after I took it I felt like I had a piano dropped on my head, and then 2 hours later all effects were gone. Clonazepam, however, has been far more effective. It does not hit you all at once. It is steady, and long lasting. 1 MG 4x daily, and no need for a raise since I switched 6 months ago."


"Started taking this medicine 3 months back A1C dropped to 6.5 from 8.2 lost three kgs also taking half glimestar before dinner, the side effects are back pain.My opinion is that it's good."


"I do not recommend this drug due to the side affects. I experienced depression, mood swings, anger, and aggressive behaviors while on this drug. It is unfortunate that I have spent $120 out of pocket and have been unable to receive a refund for such a bad product. Please consider a different weight loss medication. I am highly disappointed in Qysmia."


"Was on Toprol for a long time and was having to constantly increase the dosage.  My doctor switched me to this and I immediately noted a great balance of blood pressure.  Went from 145/98 to 127/78 (ish).  Only side effects I have noted are ones that are easily cured with water intake. I get the cough and am lethargic and dizzy when working in the yard (I live in Texas so it's a billion degrees outside).  Both of these however are mitigated with increased water intake.  I drink flavored water throughout the day and these side effects have subsided.  Very happy with this medicine."


"I used this earlier this afternoon and had a little itching and burning but for only a couple hours. I am already feeling so much better! Everyone reacts differently to medications so if you're weary don't go on others opinions, just go to the doctor. But, this worked just fine for me."


"I was affected by the Levoxyl recall and was devastated. I had been on Levoxyl for Hashimotos for about 3 years, it was the only thyroid med that made me feel what I thought at the time was 'good'. Looking back, I wasn't good at all...no sex drive, weight gain, swollen face, extreme anxiety. I switchd to Tirosint about a month ago and when I noticed these side effects dissipating I was ECSTATIC but also so confused! I had no idea the Levoxyl was causing so much negativity in my life. Tirosint has NO Fillers, and for that reason...all those negative side effects from Levoxyl were gone. I dropped 5 lbs almost immediately taking me back to my post Hashimotos weight. Sex drive was back, anxiety decreased. Best of all, I'm just happy again!"


"For 10 years, I have had heartburn which I was self-treating with anything I could find (not good).  Five years ago, I saw a Doctor and was prescribed every medicine on the market. The latest was Prilosec, which I have been taking for 2 years and was helping but the past year the dosages kept going up and the medicine no longer worked. I was literally drinking massive amounts of Maalox each day.  The chest pains, coughing, hoarseness and heartburn is not bad that I can't stand it.  I will be having reflux surgery on November 15th but my GI Doctor prescribed Dexilant and told me to give it a try. Dexilant is the miracle I was waiting for. It produced a bronchial cough but I was willing to put up with that. I still need surgery but highly
recommend Dexilant."


"Was prescribed for 6 months at two daily worked way better then pain meds and Flexeril."


"I have been on the trail pack for a couple of weeks. taking Cymbalta, Lexapro, Lamactial.  I was on Lyrica and was concerned about weight gain.  I had become so much more active and actually wanted to clean my house and walk the dogs on Lyrica but had not lost any weight with all the extra activity.  So I decided to try Savella.  I see my doctor in four days. I am pretty sure I want off this.  I don't often have problems with side effects but on Savella it is really bad.  The hot flash and night sweats are unbearable!  Last night I had hot flashes and severe chills at the same time. All I want to do is sleep."


"Thought I lost my bottle of atenolol. I went 2 days without it, oh boy didn't let me sleep at night and my heart rate was so fast. Found it this morning, its like a magic pill. All my symptoms went away, can't go without it for a day."


"After reading a few reviews I wanted to post my own experience with the NuvaRing! I've been on it for a year and a half, almost two years now and I recommend it to every girl! I love it, my periods are super regular and always on time - also not to mention it's way lighter than ever as well as shorter! Everyone's body reacts differently to everything. Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone to at least try it and see how you feel on it."


"I have been like many others; off and on this hell of a roll-a-coaster wondering when and where it's going to stop. Even after I had 7, yes 7 overdoses in the past year I still couldn't find a way to get off. The only thing that I feel that has helped me to understand and HELP me get clean is Subutex/Suboxone but like many will say you must want this more than anything and as bad as you can taste the end of this crazy ride, and you are sick and just about to jump off, there are people there to catch you. I believe if you stay strong and stick to these life saving medications, you can finally have a sober life. I wish everyone the best and please remember there are many people who love and care about you. Life is worth the fight. "


"This medicine did its job. Took about a week for me to feel the actual effects. But I had to discontinue use because I developed a really bad rash around my mouth. I had to stop because the rash and other side effects. I wish those side effects never happened or else it would have been something that I would have wanted to be apart of my medication regimen. I also have Schizoaffective Disorder, it really helped me manage those unusual thoughts and behavior. Otherwise this would have been my medication of choice."


"There is new generic version of Colazal now. I was wondering if anyone has used it and found any problems with it vs the brand name drug."


"Out of all the synthetic pancreatic enzymes I have taken Creon20 is the most helpful so far but I find its best just to not eat fat. Also a normal person needs only 30 calories of fat a day so if you have cystic fibrosis keep this in mind. "


"I have had multiple kidney infection and urinary tract infections and NOTHING works better or quicker than Cipro. I also take cranberry pills along with antibiotic and this seems to help me flush my system as well as lots of water and cranberry juice. I find that I don't get relief for a couple of days (2-3). I do have one side effect and that is my joints hurt, but it disappears after the 3rd day of use (for me). Also, I wouldn't take on an empty stomach because it can and will make you nauseous. Otherwise, I would recommend for both urinary, bladder and kidney infections."


"I have severe psoriatic arthritis but I do not have the rash. I've been on this medicine just a week but notice improvement already. I am pretty nauseous all the time, and it seems like I may lose weight because of it... But, frankly, I need to lose 110lbs anyways so... Win win?"


"This medication could have saved my life! I had a root canal gone awry. The emergency dentist prescribed Clindamycin and Flagyl stat. Could not take the Flagyl as I had swallowed listerine (has alcohol in it). The next morning an Endodentist redid the root canal, and he said to take the Clindamycin only. Two days--and a LOT more pain and swelling later--I found myself at night with enormous swelling spreading to my upper mouth with more throbbing pain, With nothing to lose, I took one dose (500mg) of Flagyl. Within 2 hours I felt no pain--it was like someone took water out of a balloon. Thank goodness, I believe I had an odd bacterial infection. I'll take both antibiotics for the duration. No alcohol on Flagyl--bad side effects!"


"I was on Yaz for about two and a half years before having been switched over to Gianvi, which I've been on for a month now.  I feel like Yaz worked much better for me than this new generic.  I know that my body might need time to get used to it, but my period so far has been...not what I'm used to.  With Gianvi my period seems to be light to the point where I'm afraid I'm spotting and might be pregnant, and it's accompanied by gas and constipation, and some pretty nasty mood swings.  I never had this problem with Yaz. I'll be switching back to Yaz."


"Because I wanted results and I wanted them fast. I turned to all of the natural products to cure acne like apple cider vinegar and rose water and tea tree oil etc. Honestly I can for sure tell you I was making my skin worse. I was like heavily exfoliating every night and then putting hella oils on my skin and I didn't even know I was ruining it. My skin got super bad around finals and then didn't really get much better until spring break but then it bounced back and was worse than ever. It was the worst it's ever been at the beginning of summer so I went to the derm finally and got this stuff and no joke I haven't seen a zit on my face in so long it's just scars and my skin is like glowy just honestly try this it works 10/10 fam."


"I have been on this pill for 2 months now, I plan on doing one more month to see if it gets better. BUT, I have never in my life been more depressed, and I was a very very happy person before starting this pill. I feel sad all the time, I pick fights, and it has put a huge strain on my relationship with my fiancé and I suddenly hate my job (which I always loved) I highly don't recommend this pill to anyone so far!"


"I've been on this for about a week now, and so far I've experienced some nausea and I feel like crying at the drop of the hat. I was on the depo shot, which I loved, but after 2 years bone density was a concern, and my doctor switched me to this. I've had negative reactions with other pills before, so this super low estrogen pill fit best. I've already noticed some weight loss, and the nausea is starting to get better. Overall, I like this pill."


"I've been taking this medicine for four days and feel a little off balance still, but the jittery insides are gone and so is almost every pain I had!  I feel so good, better mood and everything."


"I started Trulicity last Thursday morning, through my diabetes specialist nurse at the hospital.
I can relate to other people on hear with regards to side affects. The first day I felt nauseous and also felt very week like having the flu. No tummy pain though.
Woke up the following day with fabulous levels 5.7 the best in 13 years . Yes my appetite has gone a lot, but I am not complaining. I have slimming world tomorrow morning for a weigh should be interesting.
So so far so good "


"I was on the shot at 19 for about 2 yrs then went back to pills. I decided 6 months ago to go back to the depo, I had no bad side effects at 19. Now 24 the side effects of this shot are terrible. My anxiety has worsened, I'm depressed but the over all worst is the acne! Cyst acne on my neck and chin. I've never had acne not even as a teen. It's awful. It's gotten much worse. I spent 80$ on acne meds!!! Not to mention it has know estrogen in it! I'm due in 2 months for my next shot. Defiantly not getting it again! Going back to pills to hopefully get back to my normal self and skin!!!!"


"I took ortho tri cyclen for about six months,plenty of time to give it a chance to completely clear my acne but unfortunately that was not the case. My skin always had at least 3 zits. I experienced major spotting almost constantly and only had about 2 months of no blood. I was extremely moody as if I was bipolar and/or always about to get my period.The breakthrough bleeding was so painful.  I had to take Tylenol at least once a day.This was my experience but my 23 year old friend loves it and her skin is never better but she does have spotting. I got a 9 month supply of this pill for free "


"Definitely works don't believe what you read online, my bf an I had intercourse he came inside me during ovulation, I took plan B within 30 minutes after intercourse period came 1 day early. My suggestion if you use plan b don't keep having unprotected sex that's probably why it doesnt work, but it does if you use it correctly!"


"I thought this was the best one yet. However, I experienced EXTREME nausea which worsened with an increase from 50mg to 100mg. I am going through a wash out period now and not sure what my physician will start me on now.
Besides having the Nausea, I also had Gastrointestinal symptoms of abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and flatulence (gas). The medication was working for me, but the side effects made me miss work, not do my school work and affected my social life. I have been off of it for 5 days now and feeling NO nausea and much much better. Glad that it works for some of you!"


"Everyone is different, for me the pain in my arm lasted about 3-4 days then I got mild itching on the implant site, I have also developed some spots but will go down if you clean your face well!. Apart from this I've only had it for a month no period so far. Mood swings was so much better then when on the pill and when I was on the pill i felt bloated 24/7 and kept gaining weight and it wouldn't come off. On the implant now as soon as I got it I've felt no bloating, despite few breakouts I've felt happier then ever and the weight is dropping, lost about 2kg in under a month without trying"


"The relief from 'leakage' was moderate to good, but I continued to have to use feminine hygiene pads.  I was 'down' to six changes a day, which was a real improvement.  However, I had no idea what real constipation was about and how severe it could be until Vesicare. All in all, the cost/benefit ratio just wasn't there. Speaking of cost, the price was outrageous. "


"I have been on this medication for several years and it works. All my follow up visits have been good with the cardiologist."


"I've been taking this medicine for years now and have had very little flare ups. I feel great on this medicine"


"I have been taking Lorsartan for about a year and my pressure has dropped from 210/140 to 190/140.  Not very effective for me.  Searching for new remedies."


"Premarin is great for reduction of  discomforts caused by  surgical menopause, hair, skin, sense of well being, sleep, moods and energy levels."


"I have moderate to severe rosacea and it is the best for me."


"I took this medicine around midnight last night after being tired of trying to hold back a cough and it worked pretty quickly...I also had hot water with lemon and honey so that probably helped too.  However, around 5:00am I woke up with severe cramping and diarrhea.  I spent two hours running back and forth to the bathroom.  I also experienced nausea and dizziness. But hey it got rid of my cough...not worth it."


"I have been on many anti-epileptic medicines over the course of 30  years: Dilantin, Mysoline, Klonopin, Depakote, Topamax, Lamictal, etc. While Keppra did a good job of controlling the myoclonic jerks which I often experience, it was way too sedating when combined with Topamax. It wasn't uncommon for me to sleep twelve hours a day.

The real problem with Keppra was the mood swings, depression, anger and suicidal thoughts. It's no secret that a link exists between epilepsy/seizure disorders and some (all) of these issues; however, in my case these feelings and emotions definitely intensified while taking Keppra."


"My Doctor put me on these antibiotics for a cough that I couldn't get rid of. The meds worked great for the cough but the side effects were horrid, sweats, headaches, hunger pains,  tummy bloating, pain, nausea, rash and the list goes on. Only take these pills if you are really sick or in pain cause the side effects are bad. I look 8 months pregnant from bloating and am constantly irritated  from feeling like I' havent slept for a month. So it comes down to can you put up with the side effects or not.
 I'm going to soldier on and keep taking them. Only 4 days to go 3 done.. stay strong and get well soon "


"I have been taking Yaz now for a little over a year, and i have noticed a few effects of it. Some good and some bad.

It cleared up my acne a lot, made my periods WAY lighter and less painful.

The bad side effects are that I almost completely have lost my sex drive, also it makes my eyes super sensitive, I always have to wear sunglasses and can barley wear contacts for about 3 hours.

When I first started taking it I got really bad nausea but now I don't."


"After having my daughter in Feb 2010 I received the paragaurd IUD after almost 8 yrs I finally had it removed this week Nov 2017. Basically it was horrible bleeding heavily, cramping horribly was how my past 7 yrs have been. It Never subsided like I was told it would. Lots of painful ovulation that had me on the bathroom floor and my pain tolerance is substantial or so I believe as I'm covered heavily in tattoos. Anyway it was so bad super plus tampons/overnight pads combined only lasted 20mins before bleeding through. I was bedridden monthly I have had tons of medical issues I've now found out is due to copper toxicity. I now suffer from infections cysts on ovaries hormonal imbalance & toxicity"


"I had a kidney infection & my Doctor prescribed Ciprofloxacin for 3 days and boy, the infection is gone but the side effects are just so intense! I had throbbing headaches. I couldn't think straight. Got a major fever, my face turned red. I was so miserable.

The drug definitely got rid of the infection but fair warning: it was as if I had a bad acid trip."


"I have Sj"


"I've had the copper IUD for only 4 days and want to share my experience with insertion. I too made the mistake of believing the reviews about how horrible it was supposed to be. I was nervous and anticipated a lot of pain. But it really was not that bad. The pain felt like a strong cramp and lasted for about 3 seconds. It only hurt when the clinician measured my uterus, the insertion of the copper iud wasn't bad itself. She did it wrong the first try so she took it out and put a new one it. It was painless! However for a few minutes after I felt dizzy and nauseous. They let me lay there for a while and gave me Midol. Cramping and spotting lasted for 2 days now I don't feel it. Just random small cramps but that's all."


"After yrs on with a number of meds all these arguments in my head are starting to quite down some and starting to make sense 50 pounds later and completely isolated from the world feeling like I can make a reality check and at least have hope of a better and brighter day just checked out after an episode and hope they got it right finally. Started @40 and just ate and took my first 60... Feeling positive at least with sample packs"


"I was on a pretty huge dose of isotretinoin to start off with, and I was taking one pill at night and one in the morning. I can't remember the exact dosage, but it was pretty high. Before being on the pill I had acne pretty much since I hit puberty, but I never really had cystic acne. After about 3 weeks of being on it, my face broke out TERRIBLY, all cystic pimples on my cheeks. And I experienced severe breakouts like that for about 5 1/2 months. My face and lips were so dry that it hurt to even touch them or do anything. I took the medicine for about 8 1/2 months. I now do not get more than a few pimples a month and have pretty nice skin, but I am left with terrible scarring on my cheeks. overall the medicine did its job."


"I am currently on this due to a UTI and I was getting SO MANY symptoms. I had 10 symptoms from my UTI... my symptoms have now gone down to 2 symptoms after 2 days of taking this medication. HOWEVER everytime I take this medication I get extreme drowsiness, feel spaced out, sensitivity to light and sensitivity to the cold. It feels almost like I’m drunk...wish I knew this before I took my first one right before a concert! Needless to say I didn’t need to drink for the concert that night... this medication did that for me!"


"I'm on day six and I'm still not pooping normally. It's better , but still not like before. It makes me feel SO lethargic and nauseous. I feel SO bad and tastes SO Bad. Ewwww. Never taking this again. The thought of it makes me vomit."


"I've only been on this pill for one month [I have three white pills left out of this first package] and I've only had mild side effects. I had a bit of spotting, but not much. My period this month is much lighter than it ever has been, and I'm hoping it'll be shorter, too. And every once in a while I get a headache. I've also noticed an increase in my appetite, but nothing I couldn't control if I tried. I believe my breasts may be growing, also."


"I'm 59. Never had any issues with erectile dysfunction before. Five years ago experienced ED due to work stress. Tried Viagra and others and had the worst headache of my life. Tried it again a few months ago after starting testoserone replacement therapy. First 10mg Cialis which got me semi hard to penetrate but didn't last long. Tried 50mg of Viagra last week and OMG!  Felt like 19 yrs old.  My wife loves it. I feel like a man again. Was advised by doc to also "exercise" with pump to improve blood flow. 6 weeks later I've grown in length and girth. It is crazy expensive but feel its worth it now."


"When I first got it on the date of July 22 2015 it made my period heavy and up to 3 months long. Leading into the end of my first year having it my period stoped. Later on I gained 35 pounds  I have stretch marks every where. I cry for no reason at times and get Bad headaches. The implant birth control definitely does its job by keeping babies away. The side effects are bad."


"This is the only OTC medicine I have found that helps with my insomnia.  "


"I started having PSVT when I was 23, now 42. I was also on verapamil, propranolol and atenolol at the same time. I felt like the walking dead from time I got up till I went to bed. So had RF ablation done. Was fine for several years, no medicines, no problems. Then PSVT was back full force was put on digoxin that was increased several times due to lack of control. Had stress test done and after just over 1 minute was stopped by Doctor put in hospital taken off digoxin and started on 50 mg of metoprolol. I now have fair control of PSVT with just minor problems that I can control maybe once a month unless stressed and PSVT can be trouble couple times a day. Main side effect is energy level REAL low."


"It was great for my Crohn's Disease, but I got drug induced Lupus from the medication."


"I have been on this pill which is my first birth control pill ever. I am 34 and the first month I took the pill I had some nausea which seemed to be on a timed schedule. I started the first pack on a Sunday and did not take the placebo pills at all. I just kept taking the active pills and the next month I did not have a period but by the second row of pack two I started spotting, and now that I am on pack three I have been bleeding for an entire month. I will take the placebo pills at the end of pack three because I think my results are my own fault, I just thought if I kept taking active pills I would not bleed at all. For the most part I have no issues that were not caused by my own actions, I have lost two dress sizes."


"I've been on Lutera about a year and 3 months, and I love it. Clear skin, no weight gain but I lost some, no mood swings, no cramps, no tender breasts, no pregnancies. I had heavy 7 days periods now I have light 5 day periods which is awesome."


"Been on nortriptyline for less than a week and I absolutely hate it. Started with 20mg first few days but have reduced to 10mg in hopes of minimizing side effects. Having hell of a time falling asleep, low grade headaches and blurred vision. But the worst is the sexual side effect of ED. Had been on 10mg of amitriptyline for years previously. Slept great on that and had no ED problems. Had the fogginess the next day though I had gotten used to that. Planning to switch back but Doc wants me to wait two weeks in hope that side effects will lessen. Have DDD in lower back 4+ years and chronic foot pain from super high arches for 17 years. Pain had increased recently so doc thought Nortriptyline might help better. Also on 900mg Neurontin a day"


"My doctor prescribed a migraine prevention medication for me yesterday,, for the first time in literally years, I did not wake up with pain in my head that was a level 2 (out of 10 for pain) would either drop to a 1 for pain or become a migraine. I can't tell you how weird it feels to wake up with zero pain."


"Uneven throughout the day, especially noticeable dip after 4 hours or so, then wears off gradually.  The directions say to take it in the morning, but I need all day coverage (I have severe ADHD) so I need another dose around 3pm.  No insomnia problems with this usage, though I tend to go to bed late anyway (after 2am)."


"Gels are better and work faster than the tablet form."


"I had a long fusion of my spine, from T-3 to the pelvis.  This was a huge operation and it took over a year to heal, but chronic pain is the price I pay.  I used to take oxycontin and oxycodone but my physician switched me to Ryzolt, 200 mg.  It works better than the Oxycontin that I was trying to wean off.  But I expected to be able to wean off of the Ryzolt as well and am now trying to take the 100 mg., but it is difficult.  I'm hoping that the pain will subside with time, and am trying to go slowly by first alternating days that I take the 100 and 200 mg pills.  My goal is to be medication free, but I'm not sure it's possible."


"I suffer from migraines and also am overweight. So the Dr prescribed me topamax for both. I weighed in at 209 on Feb 2 2016 and today Feb 12 2016 I am 203. So far so good with the weight loss. I'm not to pleased with the side affects however. I feel fuzzy all day. Like I'm on a cloud, Dizzy.  Tingling and nubness in my fingers and toes. Hasn't helped my migraines at all either.  It does though not make me hungry at all. I have to force myself to eat because I know I have too. I don't see myself taking this medication long term. I'd rather try and lose the weight naturally. Not worth all the side affects"


"I have bulging disc C4,5 and 6, cervical radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, DDD L4-L5 and asthma. Prednisone works for me! I take 5mg for 14 days. This med helps ease the pain giving me some relief and helps me breath much better. My neurologist is very hesitant about writing me another prescription. Don't understand why...only side effect is mild nausea."


"I took Terbinafine for a little over two months. It was easy to use and worked well at eliminating my toe nail fungus. Unfortunately, I experienced a change in my sense of taste. I can not find any food that tastes good. Everything I consume leaves an after-taste in my mouth, it really is terrible. Does the benefit outweigh the negative experience? In my opinion, no."


"I been on prolia for 2.5 years
Just this last one I have noticed more pain in my arm. Going on 2 weeks. Other than that I have had no problem prior.  I will continue taking it as long as I can afford it."


"I have been taking this for 3 yrs now mainly for the Fibro, but also due to the depression and neuropathy that I suffer from The Rhabdomyolisis due to Pravachol use.  The depression is way under control, and the nerve pain also  better. I still get muscle cramping and joint pain daily.  Works great for me and now my insurance company wants to substitute it!  "


"My mom who was on Prolixn for years was put on Abilify in 2005 and was on it until 2007.  She became more needy and more annoying, but wasn't having the psychotic symptoms as bad.  The mental health center who was regulating her medication never checked her blood sugar, only blood pressure.  She took a random blood test at a Walmart store and found her blood sugar was way out of control.  She comes from a family with no history of diabetes, and she did drink soda or eat high sugar foods.  She stopped taking the Abilify cold turkey which caused her to rebound into severe schizophrenic episodes. No one could reason with her."


"I started on 10 mg a few months ago and its lowered my BP some, but not enough. No noticed side effects and tomorrow I go back to Dr to see if I should up the dosage."


"Got it back in Sept 2015 and so far so good. I love it!  I did get my period about 2-3 weeks after getting it lasted about 3- 4 weeks and haven't gotten my period since!  Guess everyone's body reacts to it different but for me it did wonders. Didn't gain any weight. Though 4 months later I started to break out. Not sure if it's the birth control but I will try to manage that. Happy that I don't have to take the pills because sometimes I would forget."


"My Doctor prescribed this to me in the first trimester of pregnancy to help control my vomiting. I was not able to keep anything in my stomach including fluids so I was becoming dehydrated and was near hospitalization. The first night I took it I immediately felt better and was able to eat again within an hour. It did give me a slight headache after a few days of using it, but it was well worth it to be able to eat without getting sick!"


"I just couldn't shake it off anxiety depression woke up.horrid scared git feeling couldn't cook dread fear worrying constantly about dying doc ha e me propanonal sr went like a zombie 2nd doc listened to me but said I want depressed 3rd time lucky doc gave me fluoxotine it has immediately taken effect been on a bike ride and cooked a meal x"


"Worked really well.  Hardly ever get up at night now.  However I am also now experiencing leg pain and weakness."


"I had a very serious seizure combining Ultram with Prozac, something which unfortunately many doctors are not aware of (like my brother, who is an ER doctor and disputed me that this was the cause until I steered him to the relevant literature, since I too am a scientist). However, I was also at fault for forgetting to tell my doctor that I was taking Prozac from my primary care doctor. I essentially was out for several minutes, severely bit my tongue, had a concussion from hitting the floor. I was very close to getting into the car to take my 5 year old to preschool. So please, please, be very very careful when mixing prescription medicines."


"For years I struggled with finding the right medication to help treat my bipolar disorder.  Olanzapine basically turned me into Sleeping Beauty. I take 200mg of Seroquel, three times a day.  Keeps me nice and level"


"Day 4 and I am experiencing the rebound redness for the fisrt time. My entire face looks like it has sunburn. I am afraid based on what I have read that if I continue to use it the rebound redness will get worse. I'm happy that something was made to help people with rosacea...and am hopeful that they will find a reason for the rebound redness and alter the medication."


"I have been taking Seroquel XR consistently for almost a year. I recently decided to try to lower my dose from 200mg/night to 100mg/night because I'm fed up with the weight gain (diet/exercise don't seem to do much to combat it), but I began to feel unstable a few days after lowering the dose. On Seroquel XR I am content, even-tempered, not very anxious, no paranoia, no self-harm thoughts, but when I mess with the dosage or stop it entirely I quickly remember why I take it. I instantly begin to assume that others don't care about me, to feel lonely, impulsive, and very down for no reason. I'm hoping to switch to a medication with a similar mechanism as Seroquel XR without the weight gain...(Geodon...?)"


"Combined with  prednisone  20mg twice  daily,  and Zyrtec, also  with a  Epsom  salt bath with lye soap,  it really does  work, and  quickly."


"This works very well"


"I had a spinal interbody fusion and dilaudid barely touched the pain at all.  they had to give me muscle relaxer, nerve pill, and 10 mg oxycodone top go with the Dilaudid. and after all that I still hurt."


"Before I started with Efudex I googled pictures and reviews, on seeing the pictures I decided to do one part of my face at a time, lip first and now I've just done 2 weeks on the right side of my face and I'm glad I did especially because I work in retail and the pain of feeling like you have cold sores all over your face, thank God for makeup is all I can say. I will do my right side once my left has healed and then my forehead followed by a micro dermabrasion. I think this product is amazing and the way it keeps working after you stop applying. Those who did your whole face all at once I take my hat off to you."


"I took 5 mg of Ambien for 3 weeks. It was effective but when I stopped I had
a terrible time trying to sleep. Check with your doctor and see if phasing out
Ambien with lower doses would be recommended."


"It would seem that I have a form of Autoimmune Disorder, test are still pending. I had a form of skin rash caused by swimming in chlorinated pools, I might add a very painful and itchy rash over 50% of my body. At 66 years of age this is news to me I have been swimming in chlorinate pools all my live. The drug methylprednisolone was prescribe and the outcome was almost unbelievable. The itching stop the very first day and the rash disappeared in a week. Unfortunately my swimming in chlorinated pools days are over. My body just can't take any more."


"I was prescribed 20mg. Megestrol tables by my gynecologist for heavy uterine bleeding. I was to take 2 tablets a day. By the finish of the fisrt day I had slowed down to almost nothing. I took one pill the next day and my bleeding stopped. It did it's job, but not without causing me chest pains and making me feel awful. After the three pills I stopped taking it and my bleeding has not returned nearly a week later. Chest pains stopped after I stopped taking it.

My dr told me to resume use if bleeding starts up again, pending testing to see why I'm bleeding."


"I have been battling head lice with my 2 daughters for years and years and years.  I have tried EVERYTHING.  This last battle which has lasted over a year had me at my wits end.  Shaving was next.  I finally had my doc phone in Sklice.  BEST STUFF EVER EVER EVER!!!!  You have saved my sanity and my beautiful girls hair."


"After 3 months of hell with my doctor thinking I needed SSRIs to stop anxiety tremors ... Neurologist diagnosed Benign Essential Tremor (BET). If one has BET, SSRIs only make tremors much worse! It is telling your brain to do two different things with serotonin. I began 40mgs/twice a day of Propranolol and the tremors stopped. I have taken the same dosage for 3 years now and will never give it up. I do have breakthrough tremors of hands at times, in which I take .25mg of Xanax when needed. I also take two BP meds (never at same time as propranolol. I watch for the dizziness and BP dropping. My BP is always low now."


"Worked very well. Did have next day drowsiness, but only the first day. Am only taking 10mg. I had none of these bizarre side effects I've read about. The important thing for me is that this is NOT a benzodiazepine. More researching is showing that benzodiazepines and other GABA activators may be causing permanent memory loss, that includes Zolpidem. I've been able to come off my Gabapentin and Lorazepam at night."


"I have just started using this med after extensive sleep testing.   Due to medical reason and just my own internal clock I seem to have a combination of Insomnia and Hypersonmia.

I'm currently only prescribed 100 mg 1/day.  I guess I was hoping for a magic bullet, but the first day I took it I promptly fell back asleep.  The second day I was able to stay away and actually focus on getting things done.  Today I slept for 36 hours straight in spite of taking it and am ready to go right back to bed.  It also gives me some killer headaches.

Being so new to it, and having seen positive results on one out of three days, I'm hoping that they'll be able to increase my dosage when I check in with the specialist in a couple of weeks."


"I have been on Opana 20mg ER for almost a year now.  I changed to Opana as my insurance would no longer cover the Oxycontin.  It took my doctor almost 6 months to figure out a dose that was acceptable to me. Aside from occasional head sweats I like the Opana a lot.  Every once in a while I experience night terrors, but do not know if they are related to the Opana or not.  As far as my pain is concerned, they seem to do the job well, and I do not get the side effects that I got with the Oxycontin."


"I was put on this medication.  By doctors telling me that I heard voices.  When I didn't.  I was put in the hospital.  By a police officer  who thought I wasn't fit to drive. As I was having a diabetic hypo.  He thought I was on drugs.  And locked me in the  hospital for 3 weeks.  I was forced to have injections of invega. After this I had stabbing pains in my liver my blood sugar levels jumped I gained 15kgs.  I haven't been able to orgasem. It has been 3 years  since I was put on it. And 18 months since I last had it. I am still over weight.  I'm now on diabetes medication.  My liver is nearly 3 times the size it should be. And my sex life is over . All because of this evil medication.  It should be banned."


"I have 0 panic attacks when I'm on this medication"


"This medication is the best I have found out there they need to have the FDA approve it.  I have tried everything nothing worked, this does.  I love it. I can actually get some peace now."


"Ativan at 0.5mg works for me.  No side effects.  I just feel calm.  My doctor gave me a prescription for 1mg but that causes a drowsiness, which finds me napping and losing part of the day.  So I am not going to take that strength. He said I could take the 0.5mg 2 to 3 times a day if necessary.  I find twice a day is working well."


"It says on the box that the burning and itching will increase when you apply it. It stings, because your vulva is extremely irritated by the infection. When the medicine is applied to the affected area, your suffering is going to get much worse for a few hours. I went through the same thing! Now (the next morning), I’m feeling a lot better. Do not take the 1-day version. That stuff is highly concentrated and will burn a lot worse than the 3-day or 7-day versions.  Put it on and GO TO BED. Keep your legs open and avoid all friction. Pray, Cry and Scream if you have to, but do not touch it. Surf the net on your phone or read a book to distract yourself.  Nothing about yeast infections!!!  If you can, take something that can help you sleep"


"I recently went back to the dr. for antidepressants. She wanted to put me on a mood stabalizer. Most of those cause weight gain so i said not if its going to make me huge. She gave Topamax. Said I will lose weight. Within about 6 months none of my clothes fit so I weighed myself. I was shocked I had gotten back down to numbers I haven't seen since I was a teen. 119-123. I'm 5'2" so to me that's perfect. Food is never on my mind unless my stomach starts growling. I forget to eat. This drug is great for people who have problems with weight. I don't get any other side effects. It doesn't make me a zombie. I take 50mg near bed time. I know it's  for seizures & migraine. Sometimes mood. NEEDS TO BE FOR WEIGHT LOSS TOO. highly recommended!!"


"I have had the hot flashes, and the weight gain. Not much of the other side effects so far. Not willing to keep gaining the weight, talked to my oncologist but he says the weight gain is not from the Arimidex.  I know better, I have always been very very careful with my weight and going on this medication is the only time I have had the weight gain.  I stopped it for 5 weeks and lost, went back on the Arimidex and the weight came back. I work out 5 to 7 days a week so I am very active. "


"I am a 16 year old girl who has suffered with extreme anxiety and severe depression since I was 9. The reason why I was so depressed was mainly because I was mildly depressed so they put me on cymbalta and I suffered from the "black box warning" in which adolescents and teens can experience suicidal thoughts and actions. that really messed me up. I'd have panic attacks where I was convinced I wanted to, and I'd puke and shake and stuff. it still happens but when it does my parents give me 0.25mg (I'm very very lightweight so they don't want a lot in my system) and it seems I work alright. I'd like to take it everyday but my parents are so hesitant to give it to me."


"I was on morphine for 4 1/2 years. I could not eat, sleep or do much of anything. Almost 3 years ago I asked my pain management doctor to help me out of that living hell. 10 days into rehab the doctors could not find a medication that could help with my pain issues. That's the first time I ever heard of Suboxone. I stayed for 18 more days learning all I could about this new medication. Let me just say that Suboxone helps with my pain and is giving me my life back one day at a time. I thank my doctors and Suboxone for all that it has given me. I found a Suboxone group and counseling in my area that understands my need to stay on this medication. I have been off all other pain medicines for 3 years and would not change a thing. "


"Day 19 just received my first viral count it is undetectable. Thank you Lord  for Gilead . I still experience some fatigue and insomnia but it does not bother me at all.I have about 8 and and a half more weeks to go my doctor said I have to finish the treatments. I am truly happy!"


"I was prescribed this for my anxiety, my doctor gave me the 50 MG. First of all it takes way too long to kick in atlas 30-45 minutes. It also makes me sleepy and when I wake up the next morning it's so hard to get out of the bed, I can barely keep my eyes open the whole next day and feel groggy all day. I would say it doesn't really help with anxiety at all it's basically just a sleeping pill."


"i started taking 50mg just yesterday and immediately i noticed a huge difference. i have tried so many other antidepressants that were just awful on my system but this one so far seems to be great. i have noticed an immediate appetite decrease which is perfect since i tend to eat due to anxiety and depression. food just has lost its magic and a lot of its taste. but i still feel hunger which tells me it's time to eat, and i eat only till i am full. i have also noticed a slight tingling and twitching in my arms and hands, but only slight, and i am sweating more than usual. my jaw feels a bit tense as well, and all of these mild symptoms should go away once my body becomes accustomed to this new drug so i'm told by my doctor. happy times!"


"I've had insomnia for over a year now and I had been taking a small amount of xanax at night and an ambien cr.  I typically would get 5-6 hrs sleep with this combo.   Not ideal but it is what it is.  I heard of belsomra and asked my doc to write me a prescription.   I haven't taken ambien for the past 3 nights as my script ran out and I was waiting on my pharmacy to get belsomra in.

Anyways took belsomra 15 mg waited,  nothing.   Took remaining 5 mg an hour later still nothing.   Basically laid in bed all night with very little light sleep.

Sucks cuz this drug is expensive and was hoping it would work better than my current combo.   Guess I'm going to have to stick with ambien.  Might try Lunesta see how that works."


"My Dr finally approved this prescription. Only to find out my Insurance wouldn't cover it.So I asked the pharmacists how much it was.$ 1,000 for an 8 oz bottle. Guess I will have to live with my nasty toe nails!!"


"I have been on Zovia 1/50 for 5 1/2 months now it is great! I have no acne, no unplanned pregnancies, and my periods are very light. I have gained weight from being on this pill though but I would definitely recommend this birth control!"


"I have been taking Celexa due to many stessful events that made my anxiety almost unbearable. Tough financial times, stress at work, 3 miscarriages, being away from family, etc. My list is huge. I was surprised I lasted this long without medicines. I always tried to convince myself that I could control the panic, fear, stress, sad feelings, etc. Exercise helped but I finally decided to get help. I hate the feeling of always being worried, always going to worst case scenarios, feeling out of place, fearful of even driving, unbearable anxiety of trying to conceive again after my traumatic experiences. Anyway, I was prescribed 20mg of Celexa. Going on week 2 and I hope this is my answer. Already feeling better, no side effects except yawning."


"This product is the best thing that has ever happened to my struggle with acne. In fact this product cleared it up! It took 3 months and my acne was gone. I still struggle with oily skin while using this product and after a couple of hours while wearing the product the gel will start to peel off so I recommend you only put it on when you go to bed. But other than that its definitely my favorite acne clearing solution."


"Love it!  Immediate relief!  I take 10mg of Oxybutynin every morning and it gets me through the day.  I've been on this approx a year and don't feel I have any side effects. I should ask my husband if he notices any differences in me.. more forgetful, etc.  Maybe some dry mouth but nothing I can't live with.  Sips of water help that.   I feel like I have my life again :)   I have noticed that I now can't go through the night without an accident so I need to ask my Dr. if I can take some in the late afternoon to get me through the night.     Overall... love it!!"


"Amazing! I had horrible acne about 5 years ago. Big cysts ALL over my face! When I used tretinoin my face cleared up significantly. However I stopped using it for 1 year and I have acne again. I am now using Retin-A and I hope it gives the same results."


"I was started at a low 75 mg. This was a very dark time emotionally for me because I felt like I was taking candy, not medicine.

As we slowly increased the dose,  the heaviness of depression began to lift, but I also became VERY sleepy.

Other early side effects was dizziness, insomnia, minor stupor, vivid dreams, stomach cramps, and worsened anxiety. All these are gone except anxiety.

We added a sleep aid and Buspar to take as needed for anxiety and insomnia. But I had to up the venlafaxine XR to my doctors max outpatient dose of 225 mg to get rid of the unmanageable depression. This dose combined with CBT (therapy) has greatly increased the quality of my life. But NEVER FORGET A PILL! Withdrawal is awful! Sobbing, "shocks", lethargy."


"I have been on Lexapro for three and a half years- it has completely changed my life, my moods, my behavior and my reactions to life for the better. I noticed an improvement within. 24 hours after starting Lexapro."


"I have been using estrace vaginal cream for 8 weeks now, about 2 x a week and it has helped my vaginal dryness and prolapse but I am experiencing side effects, anxiety, bleeding gums, joint and muscle pain, problems with sleep. I don't like this. I am going to look for a more natural estrogen."


"I have used altace for 5 yrs now and have found it does have an affect on having or keeping an erection but my bp pretty much stays at 130/80"


"I was having an endoscopy. I usually had versed and it was great. This particular time I was given propofol and had ventricular tachycardia. When I woke up the MDs eyes were huge and he informed me about what took place. Never again. I will write it across my forehead next time!"


"The only anti-inflammatory med I could take without side effects"


"I suffered a urinary tract infection a week ago and went to the doctor when they prescribed me Clindamycin 300mg 3 times in 3 days and Cipro 500mg every 12 hours. I couldn't take either of them because I can't swallow big pills, and I'm afraid Cipro is a little strong for me. I get real anal when it comes to taking medicine like this, for I have a fear of side effects and haven't taken antibiotics before. I went back just the other day and switched medicines and I'm taking this, a liquid form 250mg every 6 hours in four days for 10 days. It taste really good and it smells good, looks like Pepto Bismol. I always take it with food and I have no side effects, and so far it's working great! I highly recommend any one to take this medicine that suffers urinary tract infection."


"I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks for years. It got so bad I would actually be driving, pull over to the side of the road and call 911 because I thought I was having a heart attack, it was really scary. I've been on Xanax for 10 years off and on. I take 0.5mg once a day when I start feeling anxious and my insides feel out of control. It does frighten me to think I could be addicted to this medication, but on the other hand if it relieves my symptoms than I guess I need to take Xanax as needed."


"Lamictal is one of the best drugs I've ever been on. It has been amazing. Being on it has made me feel so much more level. Before taking it I never really knew how I was going to feel or how much things would affect me. I am currently on Lamictal in addition to many other medications, but adding Lamictal made me so much more sure of my emotions. I felt so much safer. It has really been wonderful."


"I suffer from yeast infections quite frequently, especially while being on my depo birth control shot and being more sexually active. In the past, diflucan did the trick in 24 hours (I learned Monistat does NOTHING for me!). As I suffer from them almost every other month, if not every month, I believe I have built a resistance to the medication. I began needing two pills prescribed at a time for an effective solution. Just a few days ago I received a pack of 3. My symptoms feel almost worst than before getting the prescription. I didn't drink much water and also had sex after taking the pill day 2, but I took the last pill yesterday and vagina is raw and swollen as well as itchy. Also feel period beginning. I hate this confusion about my body."


"I've been on Belviq for 4 months and have lost 37 lbs. I eat what I want but I eat so much less of it now. At Thanksgiving and Christmas I could barely finish the small portions on my plate!  My only side effect has been dry mouth so I drink more water. Win - Win. My only concern is what will happen when I eventually go off the medicine."


"I had to take Simponi for a brief time due to a change in insurance. I was taking Enbrel previously and was almost symptom free. Simponi did not help my RA at all! I took it once a week for about 8 weeks. I decided to pay the extra monthly expense for the Enbrel!"


"Had surgery on my head 6 times. Methadone is the only medicine that keeps my life together. I can function like a normal person, not all drugged up. The bad thing - other peoples inability to research the medicine and learn that it's not just for junkies! Gives us with real pain that " methadone, he must have been doing heroin". I would love to go in front of congress and tell them that methadone is probably the safest, least side effect medication I have ever taken. You need to get with your doctor and ask him to let you try methadone. The doctor would probably feel a lot better giving you a script for just methadone rather one for 'Oxys'."


"This medicine is really working for me. I'm into my second month on it. I take 100mg twice a day, always with food. I'm starting to really notice my results at this point. I feel you need to give this medicine time to work, you can't expect results right away, my acne did get a little bit worse when I first started it but now I'm not getting any pimples and it's even helping the scars from prior acne. I also apply Clindamycin at night before bed. My skin used to get really dry and flaky but now it is fine. I was nervous to take this drug at first after reading a lot of bad reviews, but I'm so glad that I tried it, I think it's great. "


"I have suffered from narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome and ADHD all my life. The ONLY thing that has allowed me to feel 'normal" enough to participate in my own life again is Vyvanse. Unfortunately, I have recently moved from AZ to CA and due to different laws, I have been unable to fill or receive a new prescription in CA (even with all of my doctors records and recommendations) and I have been severely depressed due to all the old symptoms returning. BUT VYVANSE SAVED MY LIFE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT."


"I'm an 18 year old female who used to take Lexapro for anxiety/depression (20 mg) but went off of it for a couple years. Recently and for the first time I had a severe panic attack which landed me in the hospital, this happened two nights in a row. The doctor diagnosed me with Panic Disorder and Anxiety and prescribed me 10 mg of Lexapro daily and 5 mg of Xanax to take as needed. I took 10 mg of Lexapro the first morning but upped the dosage to 20 mg the following day. I'm on day 5 now and although the side effects (dizziness, loss of appetite, stomachache, lack of sex drive) I have noticed a significant improvement in my anxiety. I am only on day 5 so of course it'll take some time to fully see the effects."


"This stuff is a freaking miracle worker. I have chronic constipation and can go weeks with no BMs thanks to my doctor prescribed diet. Now if I were to tell you nothing else worked, I'd be lying. Everything worked. However, this is the only product I've used that didn't leave me writhing in pain. Magnesium citrate, all stimulant laxatives, and even natural remedies gave me such awful cramps they'd double me over and sometimes for days. Even saline laxatives made me queasy and ill feeling for several hours post BM. I thought I was out of options until I came across this at the Dollar Tree. No cramps, no discomfort, doesn't keep me up at night, and a BM like clockwork 5-6 hours after consuming. It completely empties me out!!!"


"I was on Lexapro which made me suicidal and started Prozac 20 mg. It was easy to wean off the Lexapro. After taking my pill in the morning I immediately felt severe drowsiness, heavy eyelids and tiredness. I started during my holiday and took a nap every afternoon. But once back to work the tiredness was unbearable. Especially in the afternoon, I could hardly keep my eyes open and have never drank so much Espresso and energy drinks. The Espressos did not even bring me to shaking whatsoever nor relieved my drowsiness. After 2 weeks and 2 days I quit but side effects lasted for at least a week. I must say it lifted my depression."


"I honestly wasn't sure if it was the medication that did this to me, until I just almost took it again and decided to read reviews. A couple hours after I took it, I woke up three different times due to extreme stomach pain. The third time I decided to try to go to the bathroom. My stomach hurt so bad that I felt like the muscles in my stomach were just stuck tight. I felt like I couldn't even go to bathroom because it hurt so bad. After having extreme pain and diarrhea, I started getting chills, lightheaded and swearing profusely. I seriously thought I was going to die and started dialing 911, before laying on my bathroom floor for a couple minutes and it stopped. I wasn't even sure if it was the medication before reading all these."


"I have been on Forteo 2 months now, I had 2 spinal compression fractures, 4 fractured ribs, right side and then I hollered at a dog, another fracture. MRI said osteoporosis, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, severe osteoarthritis, SURGERY. My bones were mush. I'm suppose to do forteo for 2 to 3 months.

    Now I have bad stomach aches, hoarse voice, shortness of breath, dizzy, confusion, Charlie horses in legs, and trouble sleeping. Its a complicated, risky surgery. I hope this is all worth it, I feel awful, and crooked badly."


"I have type 1 diabetes and because of high blood sugar levels I used to suffer from yeast infections at least twice a year. A friend told me about acidophilus pills and I am forever grateful. I take them by mouth a couple of times a month to prevent yeast infections and if I ever feel one coming on or just generally feel any kind of irritation I will break a pill in half and wet it a bit so its more comfortable and insert into the affected area. You definitely need to get comfortable with yourself to do that, but it's so worth it. It won't completely break down and might come back out after a couple days, but it works. Taking too many by mouth gave me a little bloating and gas, but I'll take that over the painful infections. I hope this helps"


"My doctor gave me Wellbutrin XL as an experiment. I was hyper, couldn't focus or stay still for very long. My mind raced and I was easily distracted. And like many other I had projects that were started but never finished. My shrink told me that my childhood characteristics were those of and ADD kid. As an adult in my 40's I still had the hyper and difficulty staying focused on one thing at a time. Wellbutrin starting at 100 mg and going up to 300mg once daily had a calming effect on me and I was more able to focus on one thing at a time instead of my thoughts being scattered and drifting. It did not have any effect on my erectile dysfunction problem though. If anything, it decreased my sexual drive. Wellbutrin has helped with my ADD symptoms and I feel calmer."


"I could not believe how badly this burned me down there. I was in the same boat as everyone else. Literally rolling around on my bed almost in tears from this unbearable pain. I like considered going to the emergency to get it out of me because i didn't know what to do. After an hour it has calmed down but still burns. Never using this again. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I never leave reviews and i had to to warn others."


"I was having my son tested for ADD and the doctor ended up suggesting I get tested also. I am a 39 yr old male. I always new I was capable of more, I always felt fairly intelligent. I always had issues recalling details of projects and a roller coaster ride of motivation. I would wait until I have the pressure of the timeline closing before acting. I have become a dynamo at work and home. Instead of thinking about 100 different details of multiple projects all at once, I am able to focus on one at a time, but I have to stay organized because I can see details of something and I can't help but work on it because I get excited I can see everything so clearly. I get dry mouth and have trouble winding down at night. Can't stop working."


"The worst waste of money, with no relief at all!"


"I would suggest anyone on this, to stop or take a break once you've noticed your reasoning, memory recall abilities becoming hindered.  Even though I'm happy with the benefits of focus, it's not worth losing your short-term memory.  Overtime, I noticed my math skills declined, followed by my word recall, spelling and now I can't remember stories or study material.  It's extremely debilitating, I'm trying to figure out how to reverse the side effects."


"I have taken anti-depressants for years, with some improvement but mostly moderate to severe side affects, which makes me go off them.

I only take Cymbalta now mostly for pain.

When I began Deplin, I noticed a major improvement overnight. More energy, better disposition, and no sinking to the low lows of major depression. I have been taking it for about 3 months now and feel like a normal person for the first time ever. Best thing, no side effects."


"Ok this is my first month and loving this Med already. More energy . I am in love with this med.  Energy levels are the most awesome change in my body. Now the labs are crazy good I pass from cd4 285 after a month 305
By the most incredible change is viral load I started at 290000 copies after a month 210 copies crazy. I hope to get undectetable pretty soon. No side effects yet and my doctor said it is very uncommon have side effect this far into the treatment, this is my first HIV medication I got diagnose back in April 2017 and I started med in June 2017
:) happy I am 40, gym and eating "healthy" most of the time I drink occasionally"


"I find that this medication works on insomnia when other drugs don't except for a true heavy duty narcotic sleeping pill. It also helps as a very mild tranquilizer for 24 hours so it is spread throughout the day to calm anxiety attacks or the fight or flight affect. It is good even if you have bouts of depression because without sleep your depression worsens. So I give this medicine a 10. I have been using it now for 3 years with no side effect. I am also on an antidepressant as well. But getting more than 3 hours of sleep a night is wonderful especially without flashbacks."


"I got this birth control for ease of use and for the fact of its high rate of effectiveness. This birth control definitely meets those criteria but also brings more bad than good. I'm a very healthy eater, exercise 3-4 times per week and track all of my calories on a fitness app. I've been on a reduced calorie diet the entire duration I've had implannon and have managed to gain weight (8 pounds). I want to eat more than 1,200 calories per day. I've complained to my doctor and she says that it's normal. The final straw has been that I've developed terrible cystic hormonal acne on my jawline that won't go away. I'm getting it out next week and can't wait!"


"I've had the Mirena for almost 4 years now.  I got it a month after I had my second baby and I love it.  I had little cramps during insertion and light bleeding but that was it.  I only had some spotting after that for a few months then it went away.  Now I don't have my period at all.  I don't get crazy moods, weight gains, acne and more like how I did get with other birth control methods I've tried in the past. I may want to stick to using the Mirena still after my 5 years are up."


"I waited 2 months to write this because I was convinced it wouldn't work for me. Lexapro WORKS. Stick it out before giving up. I got much worse before I got better. I started at 10 mg and am now at 20 mg. In the beginning, my anxiety and obsessive thoughts got a lot worse, and when I increased my dose it spiked up again. But it finally passed and the difference is huge. I feel like me again, but me without crippling anxiety and constant obsessive thoughts. My periods do make it worse. My side effects of dry mouth, constipation, sleeplessness, heavy sweating all are gone now. And NO sexual issues for me. Oh, and don't be scared of the generic - that's what I take. Hang in there and give it time!"


"I've been on antidepressants for years and suffered from chronic pain that was finally diagnosed as fibromyalgia.  I started on Cymbalta about 5 years ago because the pain was becoming more than I could deal with and my doctor had read good reviews about patients reactions with this medicine.  I never had any problem with the medicine and haven't noticed any major side effects.  It has really cut the pain to a manageable level and kept my spirits up."


"This medicine is wonderful, I have been using it for a week along with Zanaflex 1x daily 4mg and the Neurontin 2x daily 300mg.  I suffer from nerve damage in my right shoulder, as well as shoulder instability my arm dislocates frequently at least 2 x a month, trust me putting your arm back in the socket will race you to a 10 on the pain scale instantly. I have blacked out from the pain a couple of times.  The point is when my arm sub-locates the Neurontin can stop the traumatizing pain very quickly, with only a half of a Norco to assist the pain.  It has also allowed me to be more productive at work. It is easier to deal with during day time than Norco constantly.  If you have nerve pain from a traumatic injury/accident I highly recommend."


"Parent to son with psychotic experiences diagnosed bipolar mania by one doctor and Schizo affective disorder by another. Been on a 3 year roller coaster nightmare. Refusal to take sulpiride and risperidone orally for any time resulted in having depot injections but our experience to date of the depot injections is more negative given the side affects. Like lost personality, tiredness, restlessness. Bouts of long sleeping followed by walking round and round the room. When standing rocking from foot to foot. Inability to engage in conversations. Sense of hopelessness ..We didn't really clue up on the drug and are concerned about the inability to come off/reduce them because a months worth has been injected then topped up."


"Aleve made me itch from head to toe within 30 minutes of taking 2 pills.  It was the absolute worst experience.  The pain was more tolerable than the itch."


"I was put on Aciphex after antibiotic/PPI treatment for H.pylori and it does really work.  It has been 1 year and I can feel the difference.  The doctor put me on 12 straight weeks of it at first and now am taking it 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off, etc. and it is keeping the reflux and pain away."


"Wonderful product! But it is so expensive."


"On day 3 of the worse migraine of my life, went into the doctor, was given a Toradol shot in my hip. My hip and low back hurt immediately after the injection. Had to wait 30 minutes to see what reaction I'd have. No pain relief after 30 minutes. They said within the hour I should be feeling like a new person. It's been an hour and half and I'm feeling no relief. I'm in so much pain, so nauseous, and beyond frustrated. Ugh... It works differently for everyone, but for me it didn't work at all."


"Been on Saxenda for 6 weeks and have lost 19 pounds. I was sick for the first 2 week guess my body was getting use to it. Now I'm fine . I love it. I have tried so many others things . This is the best."


"I was on a low dose of 300mg a day for  back condition which causes burning in leg and foot .  It was not effective for my condition so the dose was doubled.  I began having episodes of anger and rage which was totally unlike my character.  As soon as I stopped the med, I was back to my good-humor self."


"I have very, very heavy periods and PCOS (high testosterone, high androgens, etc).  I started out on Loestrin 1/20 and lost about 20 pounds in one month.  Yay!  After a while, it became less effective and my heavier periods were coming back after about a year.

Come in Loryna (generic Yaz) and I'm back in heaven again.  It's been around a year, and it's less effective. :(  The heavy periods, dizziness, etc are coming back.  I'm not sure what else to try... I'm not sure why they work at first then increasingly become less effective.  Either way, I love the pill.  I'm single and the almost non-existent libido is a plus!  I can focus on important things than sex always on my mind.  I highly recommend it.  Yeah, it also causes dryness there."


"This is the most effective delivery system yet. In the past I have used 1) Testim - too smelly and left my upper arms full of acne and 2) Striant - somewhat effective but not as efficient in delivering the medicine into the bloodstream. I feel the difference with only 30 mg a day. I think Lilly has a winner here."


"Azor has worked great for me, taking my blood pressure from 240/120 to 130/70. The only side effect I have found is that it leaves a metallic taste in my mouth at times. I can deal with that for the great work it does for my BP."


"When I first started the pill, I definitely noticed some bloating and my breasts got very swollen and I even had a bout of horrible acne and very dry skin. After the about 3 weeks thought it was totally fine. I used to get extremely moody and emotional before my period and get super bad cramps and it has helped greatly with that but my period hasn't changed much otherwise"


"To me Tarceva is a wonder pill which shrunk my cancer cells by 50% in a 3 month period."


"Vytorin is working wonders for me.   Finding the right cholesterol lowering medicine was the key.  Lipitor gave me the leg cramps, Zocor was good, but did not lower my numbers well enough.  Same for Pravachol.  On Vytorin, my liver numbers are good.  I have not experienced any negative side effects and my numbers are excellent."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"Was diagnosed July 2012, went on meds March 2013, VL 57,000, CD4 502. After 2 months became undetectable, now 5 months later I am undetectable and CD4 is up to 950.  My body feels better, and I have had much more energy.  Only side effects are occasional diarrhea, although I am not sure if that is from the medication.  Only hassle is the food requirement, but it is a small inconvenience considering this medicine is saving my life."


"Today is day 1 of my treatment for h pylori "


"If you have no gallbladder, you may want to think twice.  You need to read the manufacturers information regarding side effects. Alli helps the body separate "fat" through elimination, and if you have no gallbladder, the bile problem can be miserable. "


"I took the depo shot may 2015 only because the clinic pms suggested it and said it was covered by insurance and you wouldn't have to pay 9 dollars a month for the prescription of birth control. I was like sure this is alright and I took it while I was on my period, after I took it it ended  immediately and for the first month I was fine and didn't have to worry, then I started to get the light spotting and looked up and said it was normal for a bit of spotting, after a week it stopped for a day and then went full flow until now October 2015 and it stops for a day and comes back full force every now and then. I only took the shot once and they said it would last for 3 months I don't know what to do"


"This drug definitely works. Covered in acne before starting the medicine, it only took 4 months and I am now acne free. But although it worked very well, many of the side affects are awful. Dry skin is bearable, but as an athlete, the joint pains made playing my sports very difficult. But worst of all was the depression. After about the first month, the depression hit and I rarely went a day without considering suicide for the next 3 months. It may work, but if you are going to use this medicine, be aware of some of the devastating side effects."


"Dilaudid is used for break through pain and it does an excellent job. I can honestly say that this medicine works very well between doses of my primary medicine. I would recommend that everyone follow your doctors directions to the letter, never take more than you are prescribed of ANY medicine.
If I hadn't been put on the proper medicines, I would likely have ended up in an institution due to the pain being so bad. People don't realize how hard it is to live with chronic pain 24/7 unless they have been there at some point themselves."

"I have been on Jolessa for almost 2 months now. I love it so far. I have not experienced any bleeding or spotting yet and hopefully don't. I hope this medicine continues working for me. My head went numb after the first month for a few days which scared me but everything is back to normal. I feel so weird not having a menstrual cycle every month but I'm loving it."


"Now I am able to break times between doses of Ms-Contin."


"When I first started Lyrica, my pain almost totally disappeared.  After about 3 weeks, my pain started returning.  My tongue started to tingle and was sore."


"My head and base of the neck started hurting three days ago.  The pain also moved from place to place and so abnormal that I scheduled a doctor's appointment...for next week. This pain even made my "hair" hurt.  Felt like spots in the central back part of my head had been "bruised" and again, the pain location changed from the back center of head to my upper neck to the back of ears and then to the top.  Prescription pain medicine left over from a surgery didn't help.  Last night I took 3 Aleve out of desperation.  Fell asleep and woke up a few hours later feeling much, much better.  Will still see my doctor but won't be a crazy person by the time I get there."


"Prescribed generic Bactrim DS, 2x/day for 3 days. Just took my last dose and minimal side effects. I always ate a big substantial meal before taking this medication even though I had loss of appetite (ate food that had tons of starch). Also, drank tons of water after and throughout the day. I was constantly peeing but at least I knew I was drinking enough. Had minor upset stomach and fatigue but still very functional esp when the pain from UTI was gone. Took a day and half to feel relief."


"OMG! During middle school I had acne and I started talking birth control pills at a young age for my cramps. I want to say my ninth grade year and have been taking Junel Fe consistently since the age of 20. I did not think anything of it, I thought my "childhood" acne was gone and BOY WAS I WRONG. Once i stopped taking junel fe my acne was back like it never left. so i did some researching and in fact it was my birth control that was preventing me from having acne. I was happy but sad at the same time because I do not want to be on birth control for the rest of my life, so once my yearly package run out, i spend months trying to find an alternative & failed :( Junel Fe is the only thing that works for my acne."


"Started taking Invokana a little over a year ago.  Started noticing a lot of hair loss then I Googled it and found this site which was helpful.  Went to my internist and she Googled it and found the same articles and comments. Took me off it and I switched to Jardiance.  Within 3 months I switched back to Invokana.  My A1C and daily numbers improved greatly.  I've lost 15 pounds.  I already exercised and watched my diet.  Have been Type II for 12 years which is from my dad's side of the family, we all have it.  I've chosen to live with the hair loss which seems to run in cycles.  Hard for a gal that had full chemo and has lost all of her hair previously. It looks like this drug will either really work for you or it's not for you at all."


"I love it!!  It really helps me stay awake during the day.  The only bad this is that my insurance will not approve it so I am unable to get it."


"I rely so much on reviews when I start a new medication. I thought I need to give back. I have severe anxiety about taken new medications so when my endo prescribed Levothyroxine at .025, I looked on here. To tell the truth, most reviews scared me.
It's been three days since I took my first dose. No real side effects except I feel like a tad constipated which is new for me because I have IBS. Other than that I can't say it is helping or not.  I rated it higher because no side effects yet which I was scared to death of"


"I love love this. I have super sensitive skin. My face gets red just by washing and touching it and I have small bumps on my face. Every time I apply this every night it works really good, gets rid of the small bumps on my forehead and face and also really helps with my face redness. It always works so good that I stop using it but then I start breaking out again and always have to go back. But so far this is the only thing that has helped my skin"


"I took next choice one dose half an hour after. Did not experience all the side effects, just a terrible headache on the 5th day. I got my period yesterday (a week after took the pill). This pill does work so don't stress out too much. Just stay calm and let the pill do its job!"


"I've been on this for 3 months. I experience heavy bleeding and bad cramping always on the 3rd week of the pill. I have bad headaches every day. I'm a healthy eater, non smoker and workout 3-4 days a week. Going to the doctor tomorrow!"


"Tried this out because I wanted a lower dose birth control pill. I was on it for 3 months and I got two periods a month (PLUS breakthrough bleeding), worsened acne that only went away on the break, as well as bad mood swings. I would cry every few days for no reason. I'm switching to Diane 35 for my cystic acne ( which loestrin fe made worse). The only positive was that Lolo controlled my primary dysmenorrhea."


"I got my kyleena put in September 12th of this year and I love it!! The insertion was what I had read about it was a really strong period cramp. I bleed for about 3-4 days and had slight cramping but now I spot every here or there and don't really have cramps anymore. So far this has been the best decision."


"Was prescribed 2 doses of this pill. After taking the first dose I had some nausea which subsided after 20 minutes, then I was all sweaty and cold. After taking the second dose, my stomach was cramping horribly, I was drowsy and had nausea. I have never experienced any side effects before, so it was pretty scary. "


"It's amazing what this medicine does!! I have been a smoker for 15-16 yrs. I was up to a pack a day easily.  I'm on week 3 and have already quit smoking! I don't get the dreams others talk about mine are just normal.  I was kinda wanting the dreams as I don't dream much lol.  My only side affect to report is I do wake up in the middle of the night only once though and I'm able to go right back to sleep.

I quit in 2007 with the patch and let me tell you Chantix is way easier! My insurance paid my RX 100% which was a wonderful surprises at checkout. If you have tried it all and wasn't able to quit you really should try Chantix! Why? Because it works!! Get your life back get your money back too Happy Quitting :)"
