"Got Nexplanon on November 24th and its been 5 days having it. Had hot flashes for 3 days after I got it put in my arm. Before getting the birth control my moods were severe and out of control but since being on it so far I feel calmer and more relaxed and not feeling like I want to hurt people. I have had itchiness at the insertion site but I think its because it is healing. So all in all I feel its a good birth control. I will wait a few months and review it again after my body gets used to it."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I’ve been on pylera for 6 days now and when I started I was so scared bc of the reviews but I’m so glad I did it anyway. I’m a very sensitive person when it comes to medicines and new things but I surprisingly had little to no side effects. I did have loose stools but that’s about it.. the only real struggle is the fact you gotta take 14 pills a day . ( pylera with omeperzole)"


"Valtrex has been a lifesaver for me. I've had this virus for 12 years now and would suffer through monthly outbreaks that lasted almost until the next outbreak would occur. I started by taking 2 500 mg pills/day or 3 pills if I had an outbreak. Now I take 1 500 mg pill once every second day and have had only one very minor outbreak in the last 2 years. If I feel an outbreak coming on I up my dosage to 3 pills a day and the outbreak is stopped/prevented. Valtrex is worth the cost, it makes living with this condition manageable. In addition to Valtrex, I avoid what I've found to be triggers for me...my only regret is not starting on this medication sooner."


"I was so emotional and constantly nauseous. I took it at night so the nausea would always keep me up. My hair started falling out as well. It wasn't a little bit, I'd run my hands though my hair and then a lot of strands would come out. It might be good for others but for me it wasn't at all."


"I tore the lateral meniscus in my right knee when I took a spill on our stairs. Had a partial meniscectomy. MD also found a small amount of OA on the lateral femur and have it off during that arthroscopic procedure. He recommended gel injections. I had the series of 3 beginning 7 weeks post-op. I had swelling and decreased ROM with increased pain after each injection, second was the worst. I am 13 days post injections and still with some joint swelling, don't have full ROM back, and do not feel the injections helped; I think they regressed my recovery. If I had to do it over again, would NOT do the injections!!! So frustrated!!!"


"I'm taking for my gum infection, 500 MG caps 3x a day.  The first two days on the medication the side effects were pretty bad; extremely dizzy, sleep disturbance, headache, super strong appetite, dysphoria, severe indigestion, and extreme nausea.  I'm now on day 3 of 7 and my mouth pain caused by an infection in my gums is gone.  I'm still experiencing side effects, but they are at a level 3 or 4 instead of a 9 on the first day.

I am so grateful to have found this new dentist.  Another dentist gave me a different antibiotic a few months ago for the same issue and it didn't work at all.  I really hope this one fully gets rid of the infection.  I can't believe how fast it worked!"


"LOVE LOVE LOVE Oracea! 2 weeks and I already notice a great improvement in my eyes. I have mild rosacea on my face (red nose sometimes) but it was the ocular rosacea that prompted me to seek help. I thought my eyes were just red from my contacts but my ophthalmologist said it was ocular rosacea. I was devastated- I do not want to lose my vision! So far, so good- my eyes feel 100% better, my stress level is down & I'm starting to feel "normal" again! I guess I'm lucky because I haven't experienced any of the side effects (yet). Hopefully it'll stay that way. Oracea is my new best friend."


"I have taken provigil years ago with no significant improvement. I went through the last 20 years being prescribe Xyrem, Cylert, Adderall, Ritalin and recently Provigil along with Ritalin. None of these drugs provide wakefulness that last more than 3-4 hours. I can take the combination of Provigil and Ritalin at 9am and fall back to sleep at 9:30 am. I take my medication on an empty stomach but the wakefulness is almost non existent. I want to volunteer to be a case study because I believe I am a rare individual with Narcolepsy. I want to find out if there is an underlying problem because I hear of people getting addicted to these drugs and they barely have an affect on me. I want to live a normal life and not be sleepy all day, everyday."


"I have taken every pain medicine and muscle relaxer I think there is and finally I have found something that has so far been very effective with minimal side effects.  I have a lot of side effects from most medicines and that is why it's been hard to find something that works.  I've had chronic/severe neck and shoulder pain for 12 years and get cervical epidurals. I don't worry about addition either because I'm in this for life and will gladly settle for it."


"I took this medicine for pain on shoulder. Took 2 pills every 4-6 hours. I had severe side effects, really dry mouth, loss of appetite, could not sleep, nausea, headaches, felt like a really bad hangover. "


"I knew years ago when I started on fluoxetine for depression and anxiety how it helped my hot flushes (as we in NZ call them) not only that but it helped by fibromyalgia.  So it killed not two birds with one stone but 3.  I tried to come off the drug last year by weaning myself  for 8 months. Wasn't successful so went back on them.  More so just recently I was given Lovan at the chemist and never thought much of it being another generic of Prozac. But, I started to go down hill, with anxiety, sore bones, headaches and worse of all hot flushes.  Finally I put 2 and 2 together and realised it was the Lovan.  So now I'm back on  fluoxetine. So being Generic doesn't mean the same for everybody! This should be publised more for all."


"I started Wellbutrin after taking Zoloft for several years.  The Zoloft was not effective anymore, though it had worked perfectly for a long time.  Wellbutrin nearly killed me.  I was more upset, anxious, and suicidal than I had been in years.  For some reason, it just did not agree with me chemically.  Afterward I went on Remeron.  That was an experience to read about!"


"Had a spinal fusion back in 2000 and over the years on and off I have used the Watson Lidocaine 5% patches.  Last year my insurance sent me Mylan.  What a waste of time and money.  Who thought of manufacturing plastic patches for the skin.  They not only pinch the skin but also don't stick, at all!
I can't imagine if I was walking in the summer and had one on. Shame on you Mylan, a call to customer service was to no avail.  The cost of the Watson Brand (which I loved) is so expensive now.
I won't be ordering them anymore.  The point is Mylan's co-pay was affordable but didn't stick and Watson co-pay is too much."


"I'm a 42/female and this was my first time using Suprep. I was nervous at first but I found it to be a lot easier than expected. I've always had a very sensitive stomach so I had a colonoscopy when I was  19 and then I had to use enemas which was HORRIBLE so I highly recommend this over the enema route. It wasn't too hard to get down. "salty cough med" is EXACTLY what it tastes like so thanks to the other reviewers for their input. herlped me know what to expect. I felt a touch of queasiness at first, then chills and  tummy rumbling At the 45 min mark I visited the bathroom to see if anything would happen. Sure enough very easily it started. No straining or discomfort, but you won't leave the bathroom for awhile. A.m. should be easy I hope"


"I have been on the patch for 10 months now and I absolutely love it. I don't worry about pregnant scares at all. The only down side I have is that when I put on a new patch after my period I get really nauseated and a bad headache for a few hours but this started about 3 months ago and the other downside is that when I exercise and take hot showers it seems to make the patch slip off. But it's honestly the best birth control I've been on EASY to use and GREAT protection."


"I have been getting cold sores since I was a little girl the doctor always told me that it was virus in my system that I had to deal with it but last month I got valacyclovir and it is the best thing I have ever used. The cold sore is gone in two days. I have cold sores for about 30 years and I am glad that whoever come up with this medicine THANK YOU SO EVERY MUCH."


"Wonderful if you want to stop using opiates which I was. Suboxone was effective I even dealt with some of the side effects but today I am opiate free."


"I started taking Lamictal 3 years ago. I have class 2 bipolar disorder. Before the Lamictal I have always had doctors (since I was 16, I'm now 27) tell me I was depressed. But with the Zoloft and Prozac I would go into extreme manic states and clean my floors for 6 hours, spend all my money on crap, cry uncontrollably or even get violent. I was like that already just worse on those medicines. Finally seeing another doctor trying to find help he put my on Lamictal. Small dose at first and now I'm on 400mg/day. I have gained weight 15 pounds and have been on a diet for a year and see a personal trainer. Absolutely cannot lose weight. I still have all of my same bipolar symptoms but they are not uncontrollable now. I am on lithium 200mg/day"


"Was prescribed 6 over 3 day no appetite severe burning of my sinuses slow working"


"Very satisfied, I've been using Micardis Plus 80 mg/12.5 mg for the last 15 years and still going."


"Night one of miconazole 3...did not know what I was getting into but at the return of my YI I decided to use a cream (after pills). 5 minutes after inserting it the burning and itching got intense and so I googled it and turns out its a regular thing! Just so you know THE BURNING STOPS!! This is only night one so we will see!"


"Started taking it about 3 weeks ago. Has done wonders for my reflux. I was waking up in the middle of the night just miserable with the burning in my esophagus and throat, and the taste of the acid.  Horrible.  The Dexilant has all but stopped that.  Have had a couple days where I can taste the acid, but no pain.  Just in the last few days, I have developed intense, burning itching on my arms, INSIDE my ears and on my scalp.  No rash, just random itching.  I am hoping and praying it isn't the medication, but at this point, I don't have any other ideas."


"Had taken Flomax 2 x 0.4 mg daily for BPH.  Was somewhat effective, but I had difficulty reaching orgasm and rarely ejaculated.  After changing to Uroxatral, both side effects improved, but still have diminished ejaculate volume and some difficulty reaching orgasm.

With both drugs I still had to urinate 1-2 times during the night."


"I've had irregular menstrual cycles for years, and when I did have mine, it fame with vomiting and migraines. Junel Fe was the first thing my doctor suggested - she gave me a trial prescription, and I started as soon as my next period did. I had some hot and cold flashes and loss of appetite for a few days, but other than that, I felt great. When my period came, it was far less severe than usual - I didn't feel nearly as sick, and I didn't have to skip class because I couldn't function. I'm only on my second month of Junel, but so far so great. The few side effects I experienced were well worth the payoff."


"I recently switched to Zovia from Ortho Tricyclen. It's definitely doing what it's supposed to. The side effects that I've experienced since switching is slight weight gain (even though I'm active), B to C cup and some tenderness, nausea, and mood swings (and my boyfriend agrees with me -- this is the WORST side effect). What I do like about the Zovia is that it cleared my face up and made my periods EXTREMELY light and short. I think I like the Ortho Tricyclen better but only because I didn't have any side effects with it."


"I have been on Contrave since April and have now lost 33 lbs.  I absolutely know that this medication is the reason for blocking out my cravings.  I do drink water all day long which does fill me up but the medication makes me full. Most nights I can't even finish my portioned controlled food.  No side effects. Loving this!   Hope to loss another 30 before August.  I will keep you posted."


"Tamiflu is THE worst medicine I have ever taken. It made me puke every time I took it and made my fever worse !! Some influenza medicine !! Very unhappy (& still sick)."


"I had trouble with anxiety and having a "short fuse". I thought about death constantly and had trouble remembering things. In short I suffered from depression. I was horrible to my coworkers, family, and friends. I have never taken an antidepressant before. I have been taking Wellbutrin for 5 days and I can say that I feel better. I have energy, although I have noticed some heart palpitations...nothing worth seeing a Dr about. I have a decreased appetite but just slight nausea. I am in a better mood and seem to be able to let things that used to bother me just slide by. I do not feel like a zombie at all. I smile more and cry less. That's exactly what I was hoping for. I am a 45 year old woman."


"I got the depo shot in the later part of September, October I didn't have a period. Comes November the 4th I had a brown discharge the second week it was my period and now I am still spotting (19 days later). I see why you have a "decreased sex drive" you can't have sex. I'm definitely not getting my second shot. Would I recommend this to anyone? Ummmm NO!"


"Same as others here, constipation for 20 years (currently in my 40s). I'd go weeks without a movement, became terribly ill.  Laxatives caused intense cramping, nausea and fainting, so when Miralax came out I was thrilled.  5 years later on the Miralax almost daily, my doctor suggested the Linzess.  Started samples (245mg) until I could fill my (145mg) script, and I don't recommend the higher dose - terrible cramping, nausea and unpredictable movements.  After starting the 145mg dose, I'm doing much better, with a very productive movement (or 2!!) every day, but I'm disappointed. I'm fairly torn to shreds with fissures from hard, forceful movements.  Hoping for improvement soon!"


"My experience with ambien was not very good. Ambien is a pretty terrible sleep aid and I'm sure you'd be better with little sleep and tired, Than waking up feeling like crap all day and tired. It makes me feel pretty rubbish all day and it only last like 4 hours, So I'll wake up 3 or 4 hours later super tired and can't go back to sleep. Your body Builds tolerance to this drug very fast, After the 4th or 5th time of using it,  it's effects are very very minimal. Also if you suffer from acid reflex, this drug will make it 10 times worse. If your desperate for sleep, This drug  will make you sleep, but with great consequences."


"I am 56 year old woman with knee osteoarthritis  (in both knees)  I get euflexxa injections every 6 months.  They help me tremendously. By the time 5 months comes around,  I can tell I'll be needing them soon.   If it can buy me time with getting these two bad knees getting replaced,  I am thankful! "


"I have been taking this pill for 4 years now and never had a problem with it. I read that some people were getting bigger breasts and so wish I was. I have not had a single side effect from this pill. Periods are light and only last 2-3 days."


"I've been on Zovia for only TWO months. Since then I have been breaking out massively on my face. My breasts are extremely tender. It makes it very difficult for me to exercise due to the pain. I bloat before and during periods. I was told by doctors that this helps pimples, but it has done the total opposite. I am thinking about going back to Lutera."


"I've been using this product for around 5 months and it is amazing! Right around the beginning of 8th grade I began to sweat profusely under my arms. I tried different deodorants and anti-perspirants but nothing worked. I was at the point where I wouldn't even raise my hand because I was afraid everyone would see. My doctor recommended Drysol and it worked after one day!! I now apply every few days and on the off days I use deodorant that night and I'm dry. This product is amazing!"


"I just switched to Apris a few months ago because my insurance would not cover my other generic birth control. Literally within 2 months I put on about 15lbs without changing my diet or exercise routine. I have been trying to get the weight off but it seems impossible. I also have had worse acne and have been tired quite a bit. I also have lost my sex drive. To me, I would rather live my life feeling better about myself and have a better sex life than to be on this. To me, the cons outweigh the pros."


"Had the Liletta inserted in November. The process overall wasn't bad, but I also had numbing injections which helped so much with the pain. Just a couple cramps and it was over. Stopped having a period after three months, and the weird cramps I kept feeling stopped around 5 months. Everything was great until I noticed my clothes weren't fitting anymore. I've gained 10 - 12 pounds despite months of a very clean diet, counting calories, and frequent exercise. I also started losing my hair a few weeks ago, and began sprouting chin hair that I didn't have before, which is making me feel very depressed. I am beyond frustrated and am having it removed in a few days."


"I suffer from chronic migraines. More than 15 days a month of constant pain where more than 4 days are full on migraines. .Toradol is one of the drugs in a cocktail I take through IV all at once. Combined with the other drugs it is amazing..alone Toradol, even if I wait the 1 hour, has not successfully reduced my migraines."


"Don't get hung up on bad reviews, this stuff is awesome, I was expecting it to be like drinking motor oil thick foul tasting liquid.

In reality it's like really cheap and nasty diluting juice you drank as a kid, but that's it, I ended up having a fourth litre as got sent two packs for good measure.

No abdominal pain or anything, it basically just makes you pee out your bum.

Come 5 o'clock I did get a little dizzy as I had nothing at all to eat or drink, or low blood sugar, drank some lucizade and was fine in fifteen minutes ie make sure you get your calorie intake via fizzy juice through the day and you will have no issue!

Thought it would be hard not to eat too, but wasn't even an issue!
As usual avoid focusing to much on internet!"


"I started this in March, its been a few weeks. But I have seen a huge improvement in myself. My emotions are more clear. My depression and anxiety are clearing. I've always loved food, so that hasn't changed. I don't cramp, haven't gotten my regular period [yet] its not due yet, but dealing without my regular ovulation pain is amazing. My tummy hurts every once in a while, but I also have a mild case of IBS. So its to be expected. I feel great. I'll do an update incase anything crazy happens."


"Effective in gaining control of a moderate UC flare, but awful to use.  This is an enema that should be retained - "Held in" all night.  This is especially difficult for me during a flare.  Don't fart! Stains. Tip- squeeze all the air out before administering."


"I was born an addict. I remember drinking at 8 years old. Oh I would go years staying clean, but on the inside I was craving drugs everyday. I have used almost every drug there is. I have a husband that is in the Army and 4 beautiful kids. I had a serious obsession with pain pills. I would take anything I could get my hands on. I wanted to die, the withdrawals were enough to keep me using to feel normal. I was about to lose everything. Finally I went to a doctor and was put on Suboxone, that was over two years ago. I am still clean, and do believe Suboxone is a miracle pill. Life is still hard, we still have struggles, but the Suboxone changed my life. Now I get to enjoy my children. I want to stay clean for them and me."


"The Euflexxa provides relief for me for the pain of bone on bone in both knees.  Originally, the relief would last for a year, now it's down to about nine months.  I have extreme pain upon receiving the injections.  I'm very interested to see that no one else seems to have this.  My MD/PA ices the knee first and uses a topical spray, but the actual injecting of the Euflexxa causes me a lot of pain.  Yesterday, the PA kept telling me to breathe.  She was afraid I was going to pass out.  The first shot of the series of three is always the worst, so I'm hoping next week's injections won't be so bad.  This is probably my fourth time to have these shots."


"Tried for 6 months after humor for 3 years.  Horrible lower back pain, symptoms of psa worsening each month, psoriasis worsening each month and the last shot has permanently discolored the skin on my thigh in a 3inch by 2in area. Very noticeable and hasn't gone away even though discontinued stellar several weeks ago.  Back pain still unbearable at times. Would not use again ever."


"Prescribed Zyprexa after taking Duloxetine/Cymbalta made me suicidal.  It did mellow my mood, helped me gain back the 30 lbs I had lost during height of illness.  Hated the inability to laugh or cry. Hated the dry mouth. As a dancer the stiff, dry joints were dangerous. I hurt my knee because the extreme change in my flexibility. Took it for 3 months."


"I am NEVER taking this brand of lax again. I took one pill around 6 p.m. and around 5:45 a.m. I had the worst cramps ever! I wanted to vomit and I  ran to the bathroom and had such bad diarrhea. This is the second time this has happened with taking only one pill. The 1st time I was sure I had bad Mexican food, but nope its the laxative. The pain was so unbearable! I'd rather be constipated forever than go through that again. I recommend taking Metamucil with 8oz of water twice a day or fiber supplements.  It takes longer for your body to get on track, but it doesn't hurt."


"I like the 1-month convenience, well tolerated...my medicine of choice!"


"I agree with it working. I had Rest Legs Syndrome and didn't sleep good for a month.  After being put on other medicines that didn't work, the doctor decided to give me Mirapex.  Oh my.  I sleep every night and wake very clear and not groggy.  I truly do not know where I would be if it weren't for this medication."


"I have been using this product for 30 days! LOVE It!! First time in over a year that I don't have to take a nap at some point in the day. I have also naturally lost a few lbs! Which is great too since I've gained 50in the past 5 yrs with no initial root cause. Find a Dr that looks at everything! Your vitamin levels minerals and serotonin levels on top of thyroid. I take the med in the am with water that had Lugols iodine  drops in it. I'll keep you updated on future effects."


"I have tried and failed so many times to lose weight with low calorie and exercise. I went to a weight loss clinic and they gave me tenuate. I'm always so worried about weird side effects but I'm happy I don't have any with tenuate. I have so much energy and painted almost my whole house in two days. I'm on 75 mg, and have to force myself to eat that's never happened before. It's 2 weeks and 5 lbs off. I'm hopeful. Please post more success stories."


"I suffer from Bipolar with depression.  I had been on Trintellix (along with a mood stabilizer) to treat depression for approximately 7 months.  My moods had been stable for that long.  Then I had some added stress though and had severe depression... worst I have ever had.  This ended with me being hospitalized and taken off Trintellix.

My thoughts are it worked good for short-term for me, but not long term.  So take this medication with caution & if depression gets worse then seek help immediately."


"I gained 10 pounds in 7 days on this."


"I just started taking Terbinafine and its been almost a week. I was wondering if using Tea Tree oil will affect me while taking the pills? Any help please?"


"I was on this for a little over a year and all it did was make me gain 30 pounds. I started taking it for anxiety and it helped, but then I became very depressed. It also made me crave carbs..hence the 30 lb weight gain. I'm on Cymbalta now and doing SO much better."


"I am a retired physician. Every winter & spring I suffer with horrible congestive episodes, once becoming so dizzy, I barely could get out of bed just to go to the bathroom. I saw an ENT doc who diagnosed me with vasomotor rhinitis, and stopped my Claritin. Spring came around  & I was miserable again.  I saw an allergist who did multiple skin testing & concluded I had no allergies-urban irritants caused nasal mucosal swelling resulting in my congestion. When my symptoms got worse, I was sent for a CT scan of my sinuses, & was found to have chronic sinusitis.
Every year I still have seasonal recurrences of sinusitis. My new PCP decided to try Singulair (Montelukast) along with antibiotics & I can now breathe out of both nostrils. Yay!"


"started on 10mg for 1 month had nausea and dry mouth, but nausea started to go away, still having depression and some anxiety. then doc went up to 20mg. I been on 20mg for almost two weeks. I been having nausea all day, severe acid reflux, severe indigestion and really bad upset stomach. not sure if this is related but if it is, I cant wait to stop this medicine."


"Overall, I've had an amazing experience with this so far. It's been effective and I haven't experienced any body changes like I did with the pill. Insertion was uncomfortable and the cramping lasted for the rest of that day (worst cramps I've ever had). Bled a lot in the first 3 weeks, now I just occasionally spot throughout the month (I've had it in for 2 months now). I highly recommend."


"I'm on my 6th day and it hasn't helped so far."


"This has fewer and lesser side effects as compared to other medicines given after organ transplant, for my eight year old daughters heart transplant."


"I have used this medicine for almost a year (as needed) within my arsenal of other medicine to treat my bronchitis.  It is extremely effective.  I use the max dosage of 200 mg.  As far as I can tell I have had no side effects from this medication and usually I'm very sensitive to many medicines."


"Chantix really has worked for me..been smoking since 16 quit off and on. This time I made up my mind so far so good.  I have issues spoke with my doctor about it and he said always take your meds....only side effect I have had has been weird crazy stupid dreams.  I would recommend"


"Loves it. It changed my life."


"I started Phentermine on 6/28/15 at 171lbs. My first monthly weigh-in was 7/24/15 and I weighed 169...12 pounds gone!!

I have not had any ill side effects other than insomnia at first and now dry mouth and clenching my teeth. I have found the more water I drink the less I clench but gum helps too.

I am now on my second bottle so I will update again after my next weigh-in.  Btw...I have not excercised yet but I am trying to eat around 1,200 calories a day of clean food. I also enjoy a couple glasses of red wine with dinner.I am sure if I gave that up I would lose even more."


Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / valsartan

ge HCT (amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / valsartan)

"Works extremely well for me. A generic equivalent was approved by the FDA in September, 2014 and I was able to finally get it for the first time on 04/24. $3 insurance co-pay versus $130 for the brand name."


"Beware Abilify, watch your weight.  I stayed on Abilify for 7 months faithfully, hoping that the pros would outweigh the cons.  The result?  I gained 90 lbs in 7 months and this weight does not "shed" with discontinued use, I'll be working out hard to lose this.  I'm only 25."


"I had been on another birth control pill for a very long time and switched to Sprintec because of insurance.  After starting Sprintec I had breakthrough bleeding for about 2 weeks before my regular period was scheduled to begin.  I have been having breakthrough bleeding (which started similar to a very light period and is now down to some spotting) for about 2 weeks now.  "


"Horrible. Completely and utterly horrible. I've had nexplanon for a year and I've been itching to get it out since it was put in. I've had constant bleeding, the worst headaches ever, psychotic mood swings, out of control anger, depression, And the worst.. low sex drive. I'm a young adult and I had a super high sex drive before I got this implant. I stayed wet through lots of sex with my boyfriend and now I can't even stay wet for 25 minutes.This has effected my life horribly. I really don't recommend this for anyone. Please do not get nexplanon. Stay with the pill."


"After only taking  this pill 14 days I made the decision to discontinue it. For me this medication makes me miserable. The problems I experienced were: major anxiety, irritability and agitation; nausea, one episode of extreme dizziness and headache to the point I wondered if I was having a stroke; breast tenderness, fluid retention; fatigue; strange dryness around my gums; abdominal cramps and a noticeable change in my bowel movements; an absolute loss of libido. It is hard to believe that a little BC pill can wreck your physical and emotional well-being in less than 14 days. I will never take this pill again!"


"Works very well. I highly recommend it."


"Obviously, everyone's body has different chemistry and because of our genetic predispositions, diet, and environment, study samples of women may all react differently to a certain oral contraceptive. Personally, I found Ortho Tri Cylen Lo to be effective for the first two months, and then I experienced a horrid yeast infection, breakthrough bleeding, and abdominal pains. I took my pills at the same exact time every night with the same amount of water. My sex drive disappeared, and I felt terribly bloated. The absolute worst was my unstable mood. I was making snappy comments and feeling suicidal."


"I've been taking Geodon for 8-9yrs after a horrible experience with Zyprexa and Seroquel. Geodon has been a life saver for me. It has changed my life completely. It gave me my life back when everyone gave up hope. It stabilized me 100%. If you knew me 10yrs ago you would swear I was a different person. Nobody I have met over the last 8yrs has any idea that I suffer from mental illness at all. It works that well. I still suffer from morning drowsiness. It's still difficult for me to wake up early. I take 60mg 2x a day and it works perfectly for me."


"I bought this today for my yeast infection and first only used the cooling wipes and the itching cream and it was great. The cream worked wonders and the cooling wipes were alright. Then I decided once I got home this afternoon to insert the ovule. Worst decision I've ever made. Within and hour I first began to feel extreme itching. Then that turned to burning. The worst pain I have EVER felt. The medicine in the ovule just kept coming out as discharge. I'm still in an insane amount of pain hours after, slightly reduced though. I took a bath and now have ice on my vagina. Definitely never using this product again!!!!"


"I have severe back pain and have been vomiting"


"Continued: I finally got enough of enough and tried this "so called awesome Suboxone"!   The best decision I ever chose! I had surgeries during the 5 yrs on it, which was tricky because I loved the buzz from the pain meds, but I trusted Suboxone to simply take it all away.  I completely rebuilt my life in ways that can never be explained, but if you're suffering and hating life, KNOW that there is a better way. All you have to do is ask. I started Suboxone August of 2008, and have been off of it for almost 3 weeks and am doing rather good.  I can honestly say I don't want a pill.  The time on Suboxone has allowed me to reflect on the bad choices I made, and if there's 1 thing I know, it's I CANNOT LIVE LIKE THAT ANYMORE!  God Bless!"


"I was constipated for 5+ days. I have some general IBS problems but usually not this severe. This was my first time I have had to use a laxative. The constipation got to the point where it looked and felt like I was 3 months pregnant (no possibility of actually being pregnant). I took 2 does of 15 ml an hour apart before bed with 8oz of water with each dose. I took the lowest dose because I am a small female adult and did not want to over do it.  I felt very slight cramping at night but overall it worked great! Very minimal pain, and I had a BM about 13 hours later (more than it says, but still worth it). The BM was fairly solid and full. I would highly recommend this product if you need a little help as it is gentle and it works!"


"I am 64 and earlier in my life i never had any gad/panic attacks. Not scared of anything! Then my first panic attack. I was on a freeway far from home and alone. Out of the blue..the clamminess, heart rate through the roof, shakes etc. I pulled off the freeway to a parking lot. I got out and my knees buckled. I was terrified. It finally subsided somewhat and i finished the trip on back highways.  . Now my trigger is driving even though all my life i loved driving anywhere..long distances alone..no problem until this. When i got home (barely) my dr. recommended .5 mg xanax as needed. A miracle drug for me! It makes me feel normal! I do not take every day"


"Worked good for me with no side affects, if ony my insurance would pay for it."


"I don't see any women commenting, maybe I'm the first?  My husband is 13 years older than me, started having "unreliable" erections a few years ago (in his late 50's) This was causing me to feel insecure, thinking maybe he just wasn't turned on by me anymore. We did not discuss it, I was afraid it would cause anxiety and make matters worse. Viagra was recommended by a friend, so we tried it and that was the best erection my husband has ever had! (In 25 years!) I tell him it just helps him meet his best potential.  So this has been a part of our lives ever since. The 45 minute wait is actually kind of a turn on because I know what's coming.  I love it and I highly recommend.  Side effects: blurry vision and stuffy nose."


"I tried Ortho Tri-Cyclen 2 years ago. I switched to Ocella 3 weeks later because Ortho Tri-Cyclen made me nauseous and made my gums itchy. I have experienced weight gain (8 lbs) caused by eating all my cravings. I've taken it from 2011 to now and haven't had any bad experiences."


"4 injections so far and experienced the nausea which initially lasted three days and slowly is backing down. I have no problem with the injection.  I don't know if this will help others who develop a lump after their injection but I immediately massage the area on my belly  then use ice for about 10 minutes. No rash no pain no lump. I don't know if this is the answer to the lumps or I'm one of the lucky ones but it might be worth a try. My appetite is practically nonexistent.   I am experiencing the bloat. I seem to be able to not eat more than seven or eight bites of food without bringing it back up. I also have the most embarrassing huge burps you have ever heard.  Also take 2000 mg "Metfartin""


"I have been taking Hydrocodone for over 18 years due to a lower back injury(bulging lower disc),wear & tear from 25 years of Factory Work & Fibromyalgia (associated with those 25 years.) I'm 62 retired & still very physically active. After 2 hours of medium heavy lifting, pushing or pulling I feel like a truck has ran me over..head to toe.I have taken many pain medications...Oxycontin, Vicodin, Morphine, Tramadol(poison!) Lyrica(poison!),etc  After many years what finally worked best was 6 7.5/200 Vicoprofen a DAY + a Fentanyl 25mcg patch every 3 DAYS.After 2 years my Doctor switched me to  Zohydro. I said sure.After just ONE DAY I'm feeling GREAT! I take two 30MG Zohydos a DAY + Vicoprofen for break thru. I have only taken three 7.5 pills today! WORKS"


"I was put on this for GERD and to heal my esophagus for an upper GI. I was only on it for a few weeks before i was hit out of nowhere with crippling stomach cramps and diarrhea that lasted for hours. My hands were shaky and would go numb which they had never done before. This happened twice, each a week apart before we discovered the pill was behind it. Once i stopped taking it every symptom stopped, the shakiness and numbness, cramping and diarrhea all stopped. This pill had no effect on my GERD either it just created misery for me, I still do not know why I got such a reaction from this pill."


"I've struggled with ADD my whole life. When I was a kid I was put on Ritalin for a few years and it was amazing at helping me concentrate.  Before I hit middle school my pediatrician ripped me off of it saying I "grew out of it". I went on through life thinking it was just in my head. I'm now 32.  I was always fog headed and trouble concentrating. I talked to my doctor and she said I'd have to see a psychiatrist to get on the medication. My boyfriend's Mom talked to her family doctor and she said she would help me.  I met with her and was put on Adderall XR 20 mg in the AM and 5mg IR in the afternoon.  It's simply amazing. I lost some weight and I can clearly focus. My boss has noticed a huge difference and I got a promotion at work!"


"Methadone is a very good pain reliever. I use it for nerve pain and tinosinovitis and haven't found anything better. Unfortunately, I changed from a doctor to a clinic and my new practitioner lowered my dose by 20 mg per day, which put me back to not using my hands very much. "


"Be very careful taking this! I was told I have ecoli and was given this prescription. I took one pill last evening at around 7pm. As I was sleeping, I awoke around 1:00AM noticing my lip swelling. I began feeling very dehydrated, nauseus, and got a terrible headache. In the morning, my face was red, legs aching especially around my knees and my head was killing me.  I got right in to see my doctor, who gave me Prednisone and told me to immediatey STOP the medication.  I have been sick all day. Nausea, headache, leg cramps.  I am a healthy 48 year old female. I have NEVER been allergic to any medication before. I read another site where an investigative journalist in London was seeking answers after many reported deaths from taking this!http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-38.htm"


"NEVER. AGAIN! It hasn't even been a half hour since I injected the 1-day suppository pill (which is freaking HUGE, btw!), and I am in the WORST PAIN! It feels like someone put an unholy mixture of salt, hot sauce, and rubbing alcohol in my vagina!!!"


"I took Topamax as much as 300mg/day for 15 years and my last dose was 150mg at night. I recently changed to Lyrica which is also an anti-convulsant and am taking 100mg/day and find it more effective than Topamax without the memory and lost word problems. I discontinued Topamax because it slowly got to the point where I could not remember something for an hour. Topamax also was causing erectile dysfunction problems for the last 3 years. I do not have this problem with Lyrica.
In the end I was getting 5 or more migraines a week and now get 2 or 3 a week and expect to increase Lyrica to 300mg/day."


"11/23/13 I was told I wouldn't live to the age of 21. I was at 525lb at age 16. It's now 2017 and I now weigh 225lb and physically feel better about myself. No major affects when prescription ends either."


"I have used this inhaler for several years (250 mg) and I think it is great."


"It made me a zombie that I couldn't even get out of the bed.  I know that different medicines work for different people so I'm sure this is a very good medicine, it just wasn't for me."


"I have been taking Coreg for over 5 years and it has been a lifesaver. I am 79 years young and my quality of life is amazing.    The only problem is the cost."


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex April 1. We were so scared we waited 24 hours to get the pill. What can I say I had no symptoms at all my period comes the 22 of every month and today is Apr 8 and I got it!! I got it so early and very light I usually have it very heavy and I'm happy."


"1pm procedure Tuesday, so clear liquid fast Monday with 1st prep at 5pm, followed by a relatively quick 50oz of Gatorade and ginger ale. An hour later, was working like a charm. Was fine by bedtime at 11. Took prep 2 at 730am with 24oz of tea and Gatorade. Took an hour again to get going. Very effective stuff."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"So far this medicine has been working to relieve my headaches.  I have not suffered from headaches previously, and this seems like a new thing to deal with, but the medicine works well, but does cause some "upset tummy" afterward. Still worth the headache relief."


"Been taking this med Nifedica XL for 2 weeks n my pressure is still high. I was taking before Atorvastatin 10 mg for my cholesterol , then theDr gave me a new one that is Nifedica XL 30 mg for my bp and my pressure is still high"


"I been taking Lotrel over a year now. I am not showing any side effects at all. I am 45 now and have four kids under four. That right FOUR. Lotrel has helped my HBP."


"I started Microgestin in June. I had read tons of horrible reviews and my experience was far from scary. I had never been on any birth control before. The first month I spotted off and on by the second month my bleeding was mostly done. I used Microgestin continuously because my periods give me unbearable cramps. The second month I got an yeast infection which I had never had before and started getting terrible night sweats to the point I would wake up freezing and would have to change my clothes in the middle of the night. I also started getting terrible headaches. I decided to stay on this pill until March. I continued to have terrible headaches and night sweats. However it did work for keeping flow away."


"I already suffer from migraine headaches and they stayed about the same but when I first take the ring out I automatically get a headache. And when I first put it in I get a headache. The hormones I guess. Other than that I had swollen but non tender breasts. No nausea. During intercourse it came out once but my partner is fine with it and pushed it back in. He says he doesn't feel it during intercourse which is nice. I believe as long as your partner knows and is cool with it you'll have a good experience with nuvaring intercourse wise. I would definitely recommend to to friends"


"This is the only birth control that has ever gotten my cycle regulated for a long period of time. Usually I will switch medicines only to have it regulated for 3-4 months, then everything to go haywire again. With Lutera, I have no breakthrough bleeding or spotting, no headaches or body aches, and no weight gain. I love this birth control. Before I was on this, I was very anemic from an abnormal period (bleeding 2-3 weeks out of the month), but now I don't even have to take my iron supplement. Also, I am not pregnant, so it works there, too, which is good."


"Works great for me."


"Amazing! I started this medication May 2015 at 265. It's now November 2015 & I'm down 46 pounds!

Hate hate hate dry mouth!!!"


"This drug is awful! Gives me bloating and not a very good laxative. I took 1 pill unlike the other reviews, I didn't get terrible diarrhea. But it woke me in the night every time I took it (maybe I took it 4 times) with terrible pain like my stomach was burning and ON FIRE. So sick sick sick and not sure whether I would throw up or what was going to happen. Sweating, shaking... the stabbing pain in my belly was so bad.  Anyways I am going to throw the rest of the package out to avoid taking it again.
One time I was so super constipated I took 3 pills and less than an hour later I got gas and diarrhea, but no abdominal pain. Then I kept waking up in the night and rushing to the bathroom I almost pooped the bed!"


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


"This pill is effective in preventing pregnancy and helping with acne. I haven't gained weight but the only problem are the anxiety attacks that I tend to get while on this pill. Other than that, it's a pretty good pill, and I've been taking it every day, at the same minute and I've been protected from pregnancy."


"I've had Hep C for more than 15 years. Was prescribed epclusa. After 6 weeks viral load was undetectable. During treatment had confusion, depression, anxiety, very short tempered, and light sensitivity. I finished the 3 months and still have no viral load, but the light sensitivity remains to the point I need to wear sunglasses when I drive at night."


"Have taken this med for 28+ years with no seizures during this time.  I have experienced no side effects except that my hair has become very curly.  Lots of compliments!  No down side.  I am seizure free.  No other med has worked for me."


"I ended up reading all these reviews because just like most me and my boy slipped up and had unprotected sex and I took the pill 30 minutes after and I usually don't keep up with my periods because I'm not active so I was trying to remember if I had one this month and I usually start around the 26th of each month and it wasn't showing up. Here I am, nervous as crap because I was having symptoms such as lower back pain/lower stomach feeling (crampy feeling) and peeing clear but spotting brownish/red(old blood) and and this morning it's my period April 30th. I've never been so happy for my period ever."


"I have bi polar disorder and this  calms my mania and relaxes me. It reminds me  as well to just say calm  :)"


"I did a lot of research on Mirena and was honestly scared after reading lots of reviews. I was going go with the Depo shot and my doctor talked me out of it. I had REALLY BAD MIGRAINES on the pill, not to mention remembering to take them. If you look at other birth control sites, just replace Mirena with Depo, pills, or the ring. It's all the same side effects and issues. We ALL REACT DIFFERENTLY! My doctor explained the process VERY WELL and he told me that some doctors actually do a cruddy job at insertion, hence the reasoning some women have issues. I'M SO HAPPY I chose Mirena. I spotted for the 1st couple of months along with cramping. I've had 1 period, my sex drive is great."


"I've been diagnosed with bipolar and severe anxiety. I saw a new psychiatrist two years who prescribed Klonopin. Best thing that ever happened to me. I was taking 3mg daily. But I also take Seroquel for troubles sleeping. Together, the psychiatrist and I decided to decrease the Klonopin to 2 mg. Well the anxiety is back after 2 years. And I'm real upset. Going to see my PCP on Tuesday and calling my psych doc as well."


"Not good for urinary incontinence. In fact, going to a urologist very soon to seek help/surgery options for worsening incontinence. Originally went on Cymbalta for severe anxiety/chest pains, never even knew it was prescribed for "leaky" folks. May work for some, but did nothing for me. Also weaning off for anxiety, due to severe weight gain while taking."


"I have been on trazodone for insomnia for several years now.  I was on another medication but had some major side effects from it.  So far trazodone has been a good medication for me even with some minor side effects like sleepiness during the day, but that is tolerable."


"My OBGYN switched me to this pill because she believed the Necon 0.5/35 I was previously on contained unnecessary amounts of hormone for me. About 3 months in my libido decreased but I wasn't having any other side effects so I decided to wait it out and see if things got better. Around month six I missed my period three months in a row, wasn't pregnant, thank god, and started breaking out like crazy. My periods have resumed but I've got no sex drive, rly bad skin and have become emotionally unstable around my time of the month which is very unusual for me. I am 24 years old, 5"7', 125 lbs. and have a pretty active lifestyle if anyone wants those statistics for their reference. I'll be switching at the end of this months pack."


"I've suffered with undiagnosed bipolar 2 for almost 3 decades. For almost 20 years I was on various antidepressants that didn't work, and made my depression worsen.

My primary doctor suggested I see a psychiatrist for my lingering depression. Due to the stigma of mental illness, I put it off, but finally saw a psychiatrist.  She diagnosed my condition,  and I started a low, 25 mg dosage of lamotrigine. My dosage will slowly increase over the next 6 months to a year. The first time I entered the psychiatrist's office, I was filled with melancholy and regret.  My first follow up visit to the psychiatrist, I was filled with hope and resilience."


"The condom broke around 6pm (Wednesday) I was devastated and extremely angry. The next day (Thursday) around 1 I went to CVS pharmacy and bought Plan B One-Step over the counter. I had a headache and tense breast right after taking the pill for a few days. I was paranoid and thought it was pregnancy symptoms. I have a calender and my period was due on the following week (Saturday) to be exact. Days of being extremely paranoid and dealing with little side effects went by. Until my period came when expected! Thank you Jesus! Plan B works! Just wanted to explain my experience with teenagers like me... There is an option! Do not wait too long to take this pill."


"Well where do I start. I went from Sertraline to fluroxetine, as I went through an episode of depression and felt that my body may have become immune to Sertraline after been on it for 5 years.  I started on 20mg. My anxiety went through the roof. But my depression improved slightly after a few months. However I became emotionally numb.  (I am normally a very sensitive, caring person,) And found it even hard to cry or have empathy in my relationship. My depression increased so I was out on 40mg , and although my mood lifted, my anxiety increased and I suffered panic attacks. Since withdrawing I find I have a lot of social phobia, however it is so good to be really able to feel emotions again that have been trapped for a year and a half."


"Stay away from this medication. I had a bad day and punched my fridge after ruining the delicious dinner I spent hours on. Long story... I broke my hand from boxer's fracture and my doc found out about it. Said I "needed" these meds to control my "moodiness". So I gradually moved up to 100mg x2 daily. I began to take them on schedule, as I had been forgetting to. Like clockwork I became so impatient with EVERYTHING and was always angry over nothing! Needless to say I quit cold turkey. I know you're not supposed to, but I'm not touching those things ever again. I have been in such a better mood and am back to my fun self. STAY AWAY!"


"I was put on Microgestin FE 1.5 for multiple issues. My ovaries were enlarged, I had a massive cyst on my right ovary, hormones were out of whack and I was in constant pain. My OB put me on this medicine to shut my ovaries down and level out my hormones.
What I experienced with the medicine was this: increased energy, loss of appetite, weight loss, considerably less pain...and just feeling like a human again.  I understand that most women don't have this type of experience with any type of birth control but this was mine with this one."


"I'm at 225mg.

There may, or there may not, be leg side effects. It can create -- or increase -- muscle rigidity. A massage will painful to the point of bliss -- the pain feels soooo good.

But, if you start to get spasms WHEN YOU LIE DOWN they will be a whole different kind of pain! So strong they have now torn two tendens in my left leg the last 2 years. Effexor?

In hospital they gave me my dose in the early morning and I had no spasms at night. But they also gave me morphine, oxy, and valium. NICE!!!

At home, night dose > night spasms!  Dose in afternoon > very few spasms. Love to hear from others!"


"I was given the Mirena on recommendation from my OBGYN doctor to treat constant bleeding.  I was advised that I could expect spotting throughout the first three months, but that after that it should be very light or non-existent.  Insertion was not horrible, but definitely not fun.  I bled for 4 months straight while on the Mirena, not to mention other not so fun side effects, like bloating, acne, and that awful smell (which they don't warn you about by the way).  I tried additional birth control pills on top of the Mirena, in order to stop the bleeding, but it only worked short term.  Finally I pulled the plug, quite literally actually.  Removal was painless and quick.  I opted for the Depo shot instead.  Miraculously the bleeding stopped!"


"I have no sex drive and have been bleeding for about 3 weeks!! I'm going crazy!! I've only had it for about a month and a half."


"I have been treated for years for the seasonal allergy I was suffering. I used nasacort for three days and my problem has disappeared completely. I am so satisfied with the effect of this medicine that I want to recommend it to everyone who is suffering from running nose, seasonal allergy, itching nose and so on."


"I really wish I had read these reviews before buying and using this product.  Night one was horrible.  Burning and itching like crazy.  Gave it another shot on night two and had the same experience.  Tonight is supposed to be night three but forget it!  This is going in the trash."


"30/F. I developed severe anxiety due to obsessive "bang your head against a wall to make it stop" intrusive thoughts at age 7. I "grew out" of it as I got older, but it hit back in full swing at 18. After years of walking around with a constant stomachache and having obsessive thought-induced panic attacks (all while living a "normal" life) I finally went to see a doctor. I started out at 50mg and later bumped up to 100. First few days felt like I had mild morning sickness and brain fog, but faded quickly. The only real lasting symptom is restless legs/sleeplessness at night, and I'd rather be awake and restless than awake and hysterical. I do think about/initiate sex less, but have found that (for me) getting started anyway does the trick."


"I was diagnosed,  with a panic disorder. I was always well traveled, worked hard and had a great social life, then my life changed over night. You can't explain to anyone the feeling of complete helplessness unless you are living it. Anyway long story short Lexapro saved my life, even though could not orgasm while taking it and gained 10 kilos, but I was able too come off it after a year. And now I'm living a normal life again."


"I can't find the 0 for this crappy poison pill. I'm 3 years out and still suffer pains and other toxicity symptoms , do you research before taking this horrible pill , I talk a least with 2 new people everyday damage by this pill"


"I have been on this birth control since I was 15 and I am 20 now. I began this bc because my periods were so bad. For about 2 or 3 years I would have regular monthly periods only about 2 days. The last year or so I do not bleed anymore but feel the symptoms of a period. I guess this is a good thing (no period) but I'm in a serious relationship and sexually active and this keeps me on my toes. When I got put on this pill I gained 20 pounds. Not really a complaint it was needed weight. However in the last year or so I have noticed a change in my behavior and sex drive. I'm worried this bc has something to do with it. But overall it has worked for me. I have some anxiety and depression sometimes but what woman doesn't!! Can't really blame it."


"I've only been on this bc for a few months now. My doctor switched me from tri-sprintec to gildess to help with my acne. Although it has yet to clear up my face, that seems to be the only problem that I have with this pill. After my first month my period became non existent which had me very worried at first since the doc failed to mention that. But now I'm okay-ish with it. I wish I had it to know about pregnancy but I can't say that I miss it.

Thus:
Pros--no period, no weight gain or loss, not pregnant yet (using other protection about 60%of the time), no decrease in sex drive, no crazy side effects
Cons--no period, some headaches"


"For more than 2 years I have had pain in lower back and left shoulder. It was VERY uncomfortable to sleep and experienced major discomfort when rising. My back orthopedist told me not to worry about this. I applied a 1/16" dose of my wife's Voltaren Gel to the affected areas a week ago, and have been pain free the entire time. Miracle medicine. "


"The first month of the pills went by fast, but had long lasting side effects. Such as VERY hot flashes, a lot of them, weight gain, and migraines that would last for days. Now I'm almost done with my second months pack. My breasts have increased in size, I'm extremely irritable, and snap for no reason at all. I also cry a lot. My period started on day 1 of the 2nd pack. I am currently at the end of the pack (with 4 pills to spare) and my period is still here. It's been almost a month, I'm bleeding extremely heavy, too much blood loss, tired and dizzy."


"I took this drug 50mg last night. Slept well and no muscle pains in legs. Went to bathroom @ 4:00 am and fell off toilet, could not get up! Hit head on the floor.could not get up. My muscles seemed to be paralyzed. Call for help and my husband rescued me.  Be very careful and have someone to help you if you should try tradodone!"


"Please don't let these reviews scare you! I read 2 hours worth of these horror stories before I got mine and I almost decided not to get it. I had my skyla inserted 2 days ago. I'm 19 and have never had kids. My doctor and nurses were very helpful with the process and answered about 1,000 questions that I had going into this. The actual insertion is not bad. I've had very bad cramps since I started my period so maybe that's why I could handle it. It almost feels like you're getting a bad cramp and you have to poop at the same time but it goes away in under a minute. After the insertion I felt completely fine. I was scheduled to work that night and other than being slightly uncomfortable there was no serious pain. I've yet to have spotting."


"I was desperate to lose weight when I reached an all time high of 258 lbs. At 5'7%u201C On August 29, I began Belviq and a new food plan with my licensed nutrionist  and my supervision of my doctor who first had to take me off Lexapro,  slowly for anxiety.  He said Belviq would benefit me by helping me lose weight and help reduce anxiety.  I was excited to try.  I am now Five months into this,  lost 48 lbs at 210 lbs.  I have had no side effects other than more dry mouth than usual with thirst.  I drink water all day long anyway,  so it isn't a big problem..  Dizzy at first from change in meds but quickly readjusted.  I have no cravings for sugary foods and carbs.  I feel so much better.  I have faith that I will make goal of 175 by 1 year anniv"


"Along with braces for my teeth, accutane was one of the best things I’ve ever done. At the age of 12, I started to have severe acne and serious breakouts that would never go away, no matter what I tried, no matter what topical medications I was prescribed. Finally, at 14, I was prescribed accutane, and I have to say, it was truly life changing. I did experience a rash-type skin response, along with sensitivity for the first week or so. After that, my skin became very dry. It was slightly annoying because I felt like a snake, as much as my skin was dry and sloughing off, but it was 1,000% worth it. Here I am now I’m my 20s and my skin is so clear and beautiful. I receive compliments all the time! Accutane was a life saver."


"Our six year old gets terrible motion sickness even on short trips.  We recently went on vacation and the drive was proving to be too much for her.  She threw up the whole day and then some the next even after she was out of the car - really heartbreaking. We purchased dimenhydrinate at the suggestion of the pharmacist and she was perfectly fine in 20 minutes.  We finished our drive from Canada to North Carolina and she was completely healthy and happy the entire trip. FABULOUS!"


"I have been on Suboxone for 3 days now and so far its amazing. I have zero cravings, or withdrawals. I hope I can finally kick my addiction with Suboxone, I was taking 200mg of oxycodone a day. The doctor put me on 8mgs a day and so far so good."


"I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy. The side effects are so severe that they outweigh any benefit regarding seizure control. After 2 years on this medication, I was a walking zombie."


"I have acute sciatica and have been taking Percocet 10mg along with tramadol 4x day.  I was getting concerned about the acetaminophen so I asked my doctor for Nucynta.  I was prescribed 50mg along with the tramadol but I had gotten no pain relief.  Then started taking 100mg but the pain is still very noticeable.  For me, the Percocet seem to do a better job of pain relief."


"I've been on this pill for about 9 months now and I'm either switching to another pill or just getting off it in general. This pill overall isn't terrible but I do have a few complaints. It made me gain a little bit of weight, typical. But what really bothers me is the week before I'm going to start my period I spot for about 2 days. What also bothers me is my period is now 10 days long -_-"


"Best product I have used.  Easy to use and my seborrheic dermatitis has totally cleared up.  Doesn't leave the skin greasy or oily."


"I have tried everything to breathe
I can not believe how much better my breathing improves
I could exercise and do normal jogging and play with my kids

Thank you for caring for those of us who struggle with this"


"So far this drug is amazing!  I did my first injection of 75 mg on 1-6-2016.  I had a lipid panel drawn on 1-8-2106 to see what my starting base line will be.  In the 48 hours between the injection and the lipid panel, the results were nothing less than miraculous.  My total cholesterol went from 222 to 170, LDL from 152 to 96!  I can't wait to see the results at 30 days and on.

The self injection was virtually painless and quick.  I didn't even have any injection site reactions like swelling or redness and I always have those side effects from almost all shots.

I'm not on the Pralulent payroll, just a 68 year old man who couldn't take statin's and now have a great alternative drug.  I hope you have the same results as I have.."


"I began a 150 mg dosage once a day of Bupropion 4 months ago. First week was a bit rough with the side effects but nothing I couldn't push through. Day 3, felt a little dizzy and nauseous, no energy but only lasted 1 day. Rest of the first week I experienced insomnia, couldn't shut off my brain at night and increased ringing in my ears. Only remaining side effects after 4 months are ringing in my ears and very slight insomnia which I take an OTC sleep aid for. The benefits far outweigh the side effects for me but everyone's chemistry is different. Positive side effects are weight loss, less irritated, positive outlook and easier to manage my sadness."


"Im gonna give my whole story because I know when I was reading these reviews that's all I wanted to hear just to comfort me but in a short version because the limit of words...
-Had my period on June 23-26
-Had protected sex but the condom broke and my boyfriend came in me on July 3 which was 5 to 6 days before ovulation
-Took the pill 30-45 minutes after the incident
-I had severe nausea, dizziness, breast tenderness that hurt to the touch, fatigue and slight cramps for a week and a half
-On the second week July 17 I started bleeding brownish at first that turned into a dark red and bleed for 5 days (TMI I know I'm sorry) but the pill works! I started a week before my expected period so don't worry girls you'll be okay!!!"


"I am in bed on day 2 of 7, after my second dose. I am 29, and this is my 3rd YI. The first night after I inserted the medicine the itching and burning was unbearable. Tonight I took benadryl about a half an hour prior to insertion. The itch and burn happened again but was considerably shorter time frame. I will continue to use this product AND wonder why they don't fix this. It should make it better, or at least not make it extra painful and itchy..."


"Gained TWELVE pounds in the first 2 weeks! I don't get it? That is my only side effect but it is a bad one. I already eat healthy and work out regularly and I can't seem to drop this weight from the pill."


"I decided to take dulcolax last night because I have been constipated for about a week and a half. I thought my constpation was going to better in time; however, it did not. When I did go, my stool looked like small angular black pebbles.

I took this medication around 7:30 pm. Then the pain started at 3:12 am in the morning. I have never felt such a pain in my life. I feel like I'm being stabbed in the stomach. I can hear the gas in my bowels shredding through my stomach. I am sweating and nauseous. I don't even know what to do. I thought sitting on the toilet would help. It is now 3:58 am in my dulcolax journey. I wish I took something else, correction ANYTHING ELSE before I tried dulcolax. The pain just keeps getting worse! AVOID!"


"I've been on 2mg twice a day for over 14 years now. My dosage has never gone up and I feel it really helps keep my panic disorder in check. Sometimes I skip a dose and don't even notice it.

I have had trouble with doctors wanting to take me off the medication and essentially play with my medications. However, my response is always "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I do recommend that anyone that is on this medication have a physician to monitor you on a regular basis. If you find yourself taking more than prescribed, please notify your doctor."


"Incredible medication. Virus free in 8 weeks. On a 24 week programme. Almost side-effect free. Occasional minor tireness, minor headaches..

wonderful new energy levels."


"I have been on Prestiq for ages, it did not work for me I felt continuously nauseated  I became numb of all feeling and lost who I was along the way.  In December 2015 I had unrelenting vomiting,  this included vomiting back all medication.  After 10 days I was a screaming heap, went to the Dr who prescribe Maxalon for the vomiting, this didn't work so back I went this time Stemetil, still vomiting by now off Prestiq felt awful for ages.  Gradually I noticed although still feeling nauseated was not as cranky irritable and stressed. I am still struggling with the withdrawal symptoms however, I am coping better without the medication than I thought possible.  Why is it Dr's do not listen to you when you are on medication for depression?"


"My Dr. prescribed sertraline to manage my OCD and anxiety. I'm a 35 y/o grad student with test anxiety and my OCD has been getting worse over the years. The first day I felt slightly better but the medication made me yawn a lot. After talking it I pulled an all-nighter to study for an exam. After the exam I figured I would go home and sleep but as tired as I was, I couldn't fall asleep. On night two I tossed and turned all night. On day three my skin felt too tight and I felt like I needed to stretch out my jaw and neck all day. On night three I couldn't fall asleep at all and had a weird experience like my body was awake but I couldn't move or yell for help. It was horrible. After I told my dr. she took me off of it."


"For Narcolepsy adderall greatly improves daytime sleepiness."


"Cipro was horrible. I have never had a reaction to an antibiotic before. Mentally disturbed head. It was very strange and made me panicky. Broke out in a rash on forearms and itchy tight chest.  Read how awful this drug is. Thank goodness my reaction happened after a few doses and not a week or two. Flouriquinolones are poison for me. I never would have thought an antibiotic could be so harmful."


"Started taking Jolessa after using the Nuva Ring and spotting almost non-stop. Jolessa does just fine at preventing pregnancy and I have not had any other horrible side effects that others have had EXCEPT I literally gained 10-12lbs the first month I took it. I have been on it for 7 months and no matter how much I exercise and watch what I eat I can not shed any of this extra weight. I have always been able to maintain or lose weight but not while taking this particular BC. I am switching to TriNessa next week and hopefully will be able to lose what I have gained while on Jolessa."


"Senna totally works if you take the right amount, I see one girl took too much and experienced horrible cramps, yes you may get a little stomach pain but think about what's going on inside of your body, the best way after you use senna or if you don't find it works eat  strawberries, papaya and blueberries on a little bit of shredded wheat cereal, more fruit than cereal... and continue to eat fruit, a ton like a full cereal or salad bowl full of strawberries blueberries papaya BlackBerries apples... in the morning!  Food is medicine and fruit in the morning should be a requirement in life!"


"I was prescribed Seroquel along with an antidepressant for mild depression. It helps with insomnia but pretty much knocks you out for 24 hours. You don't feel the energy to do any work. And the weight gain was pretty bad. I gained 40 lb in 11 months of this medication. Right now I am coming off it and feeling better. "


"I detoxed once inpatient and was given Librium in unknown amounts.  I relapsed a few months later, back to drinking a bottle of vodka every two days. I went to substance abuse doctor who said I could safely do it at home.  Took 50mg right away, 50mg that night. 75mg day 2, 50mg day 3 and 25mg day 4.  Those were taken at once either in morning or at night.  I did morning because throwing up and shakes were my worst part of the withdrawal. Working like a charm. Highly recommend to anyone.  I tried cold turkey and that's how I ended up inpatient the first time because I was dangerously sick by day 3. Librium is a God send for withdrawal."


"my story with this medication is so strange. I was diagnosed with PCOS about 5 years ago and since then I've been taking microgestian 1/20. For about 4 years it really helped keep my skin clear and balance out my hormone levels. Back in January I was living away from home and ran out. I didn't find a new endriconologist until about May. She prescribed me a higher dosage of microgestian which was the 1.5. I took two packs of this and my skin resulted in the worst cystic acne since I was a teenager. I stopped taking it and asked her to put me on the old prescription of 1/20. I've been on that one for two packs and am currently on the third pack. I've seen no improvement on my skin and actually think it's getting worse. Any advice?"


"I noted marked decrease in intellectual ability and memory.  I need to go off this med for Neoropych testing and 48 hour EEG,  although I have high stressors in my life so I need to take it.  When I wean down I get sinus tachycardia. Hr of 122 at rest. Taking Klonapin makes HR decrease to 80's."

"Took very lose dose. Great for sleep but I experienced a significant increase in appetite which led to a 30lbs weight gain in 1 and 1/2 months. Switched to Seroquel at 100mg and appetite returned to normal."


"I JUST started using this drug 3 days ago. I have been suffering with horrible pain from a herniated disc over the past 2 months. Tried hydrocortisone shots in my back and the pain went away for 3-4 days. I've been on vicodin and skelaxin as well as Aleve twice a day. I've had to take my vicodin every 4 hours instead of every 6 hours because the pain has been so bad. Just in the last 48 hours, I've noticed such a difference with Lyrica. I keep waiting for the pain to be there, but it is NOT. I'm still titrating my way up on the dosage, but in another day or two, my maximum dose will be 50 mg 3 times a day.  Currently, I'm taking 50 mg 2 times a day. It really works."


"For 20  years I had been taking pain medicines (from Vicodin to Norco) for acute pain (blown out knee, two knee replacements, torn rotator cuff) to chronic back pain due to 4 herniated discs and a chronic fracture at T11-T12.  It got to the point where taking 6-7 Norco 10/325 a day didn't keep me comfortable. My ortho sent me to a pain management clinic at the local hospital where they switched me over to Butrans. I was started on the 10 mg which helped, but I was still in discomfort. The following visit I was switched to the 20 mg.  I am very satisfied with the level and continuity of pain relief.  What a Godsend!  My only complaint is that the patch seems to lose it's effectiveness by Day 5 or 6."


"I had unprotected sex on Sunday 8 and my boyfriend did cum in me so we went out and got the plan b pill the next day (Monday 9). I felt fine the first two hours but bad cramps and nausea kicked in and hasn't left so far up to Wednesday 11.

Hoping this pill works."


"Since taking this, i have been extremely fatigued depressed,and no motivation. Stopping immediately"


"I am on my 2nd week of Saxenda. Just went up to 1.2

Not really any side effects but I feel hunger!

Anybody else?

I hope I can get the results many have you have posted! "


"Good"


"So, I can't say how well this actually works because I was trying it out to balance my hormones and make some gut problems less painful. However, I've been on it 4 days and just have been feeling cramping and bloating. That has made my gut issue worse. If you don't have gut issues already, this may work for you!"


"I have been taking Effexor for 4 weeks.  The side effects have been miserable.  I have tried taking it in the morning, and at night but  I'm always tired and dizzy.  Sometimes I even feel like a zombie.  I must say, the only good thing about Effexor (for me) is it has decreased my anxiety, unless I skip a day ... then watch out and get out of my way. The comments regarding withdrawal scare me.  Please tell me this gets better. "


"I recently used Prepopik for my first colonoscopy. I am 26 years old and in good health, it was scheduled due to family history. Prepopik was easy to take, I had a lighter day of eating the day before Prepopik started. On the day of preparation I was on a liquid diet all day and drank the most fluids I ever have. The Prepopik was easy to take, it just burned it a little. However, after my colonoscopy the doctor informed me that the Prepopik had not done a very good job cleaning me out. I need to go back in a year. It was recommended that next time to be on a soft diet 3-5 days beforehand (eggs, potato soup, protein) and to ask doctor about taking magnesium sulfate as a laxative the day before preparation. I will not be using Prepopik again."


"I am an 81 year old male with back pain.  The epidurals gave relief for only 3 weeks.  I took Lyrica 50mg two times a day for only ten days.  I stopped due to adverse reactions.  I'm now in the process of gradually reducing the dose over a period of 8 days. My main reaction was a feeling of being drunk.  I refused to drive during this time.  On a scale of 1-10 I rate the pain relief a 5 or 6."


"I was prescribed this to regulate my periods, reduce my cramps, and help with my severe depression around my period. It did none of these things. I was on it for 2 months and in that time I got my period every two weeks, broke out horribly all over my face and back, gained ten pounds, and was nauseous every day. My gyno told me to try it out for 3 months but honestly the side effects were too miserable to last another month."


"This combination of antibiotics changed my life. Amazing is an understatement. It's not good for your liver to take it for more than 6 months continuously. So I've been on-and-off of it for 4 years now.  It's the only antibiotic that cleared my face from acne. It changed my life. I hope it does the same for you."


"After years of suffering with RLS, and two especially bad nights, I finally went to the doctor and he prescribed Requip. Last night was my first night taking it and it did work. It made me extremely nauseated and gave me a massive headache, and I woke up every couple of hours. The third time I woke up, I took a diphenhydramine sleeping pill. That is important to know because generally a sleeping pill would send the RLS through the roof, affecting even my arms. No RLS symptoms after I took the sleeping pill. My head still hurts and I'm still a little nauseated, but my legs are not bothering me. Since it did cause a massive headache, I will try using it only when the RLS is active, and see if that works better for me."


"Had panic attacks and depression, loss of appetite,  and trouble sleeping with restoril and other sleep aids. The Remeron works OK, after a few intial nights of being wide awake for 2-3 hours after bedtime. Now, on 15 mg and it seems I can fall asleep within 60-90 minutes, but wake up after 2-3 hours. However I can fall back asleep easily. I have no complaints, but I usually get the weirdest dreams - nothing catastrophic, but just plain unreal.  It is just where my brain gets this from is a mystery.  I can't imagine where my brain dreams up (no pun intended) these situations.  I've even tried cutting the 15mg in half which seems to work as well as 15mg."


"Don't mean to scare anyone, but since I took the medication a week ago, I've had diarrhea. That's right for a week. When will this end. Horrible reaction for me, and it's not over after a week!"


"After several bird tours flirting with 10,000 - 11,000 ft elevation I became suspicious that I was  susceptible to alt. sickness.  A redirected flight to LaPaz, Bolivia (and some unscheduled ascents near Cochabamba) convinced me I was.  Typically I serve as a human altimeter, within minutes of reaching 11,000 ft I'm puking my guts out.

Diamox has been a wonder drug in preventing alt. sickness on tours I've been on since Bolivia.  I've travelled from 8,000 ft straight to 14,000 ft several times with no alt. sickness symptoms at all.  125 mg before bed is all I need.  Tingling and bad tasting soda symptoms are greatly reduced at that dosage compared to the 250mg I initially used."


"Alright, if you're here, you probably already know most of this, but I'll say it anyway... This drug is f'ing amazing.  I was a medical student before I accepted the fact that I had some serious issues with inattention.  Some doctors/psychologists/etc. will try to tell you that you don't have ADD because you didn't beat kids up in class in elementary school, or because you managed to achieve some academic success, but let me tell you.. it's real son!  I made it through med school with minimal use, but my surgical residency became a disaster quick.  Please believe me when I tell you that this med single handedly saved my career as a surgeon.  If you have any doubts, it's worth your while to look into adderall."


"I have been on the Pill Yasmin for 4 years now and i am only 17. I suffered from terrible acne therefor the reason i began taking it and it has been wonderful. Took me 6 months to see a difference but its worth the wait really has changed my life. I can now go out without make up on."


"I took the shot for about a year but had to come off of it due to medical problems. While on the shot I bled very little if at all. After I came off of it, it's been 6 months and there hasn't been a day where I've stopped bleeding heavily. It's been a 24/7 period, everyday, since I came off of the shot. It also caused massive weight loss for me, nausea, and drowsiness. If you're thinking about taking it, there is no positive reason to, it doesn't keep you from becoming pregnant and although it gets rid of your period while you're on it, once you come off of the shot your period will not stop for months."


"I only give it a few points because I was put on it to regulate periods which it has done. But this BC has made my cramps severe to the point of near vomitting. My emotions drastically switch in an instant. I haven't been able to sleep much since being on it."


"I have two children and am on my second Mirena. The first one was great for the entire five years.  The one I have now is different. I have bloating and cramping often, severe mood swings, anxiety and panic and acne breakouts on my back. I am thinking of having it removed.  The positive thing about it is I have no bleeding."


"I was going to get this procedure done!!!!! Thanks to reading everyone's comments I am now not. So now I have  one still in a box that it came in."


"My doctor put me on Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia, and I have to say that it was really effective at reducing my pain, helping me sleep, and clearing up the brain fog. HOWEVER, I began having some side effects that became serious when my doctor increased my dosage - being clumsy, hot all the time & sweating profusely, and agitation bordering on hypomania. I also noticed my blood pressure seemed to be high - around 150/94 - which was unusual for me. The last straw was the day my blood pressure went up to 170/120. Turns out that the Vyvanse I take for ADHD plus the Cymbalta caused Serotonin Syndrome. Then had horrible withdrawal coming off of it. Make sure your medicines won't interact before starting Cymbalta!"


"I was on Champix for my 19th day, when I decided tomorrow would finally be the day I'll stop!! Hid anything, that wouid remind me.. ashtrays, papers, filters, lighters...
Difficult when your house is a half-way house for your sons homeless mates, all smokers!! (At least they can't hit me up ATM!!)

Anyway, that brings me to 4 days of not smoking. About to go to bed, tomorrow will be my fifth..

I've never had any serious issues with Champix!! I've tried, and given up, twice before, things have just happened...

I have always had the nightmares, which I love!!
This time around, (I always eat with them) hours after taking it, I'll suddenly get a massive headache and full-on nausea, out of nowhere, at the exact same time!!"


"I have been on pretty much every antidepressant that is out there.  Nothing has really helped and the few times I felt a slight improvement in my condition, the side effects outweighed the benefits.  Pristiq has been totally different.  Within a week of starting it I see a positive change.  My overall mood is better, I have more energy, and I am more productive.  Also, when my mood does take a dip, it seems that the "bottom" has been raised.  In other words, the lows aren't as low as they once were.  I have only been on it a couple of weeks and I am told that I still may not be experiencing the full benefit, which is great considering how much better I already feel.  No side effects whatsoever.  Very grateful for this medication."


"I've had the Nexplanon since May 2015.I got it right after I had my son and at first I was bleeding constantly for about 7-8 months. It then stoppd&I didn't get anther period until my son was 1 which was this year of May. I can honestly say its done a great job with keeping me a mom of one child but my side effects includes deep mood swings,some acne here and there but not to much&I just start having these weird migraines that stays in one spot for a few seconds and they happen different parts of my head! I also feel something in my lower abdominal bulging out it seems like a hernia bt I'm not sure and I am soon to have it removed because yeah I don't want anymore kids but my health is way more important an being here to take care of Myson!"


"Some of you females here are so uneducated about the NuvaRing. It effects people differently. Don't fear another female from getting contraceptive just because you didn't know how to take care of yourself.

- You take it out before having sex. That way it is not irritating you when you have sex.
- you insert the ring so that it loops around your cervix. That way it doesn't fall out.
-your mood swings can be managed with other medication. Learn to calm down & not respond.
-Everyone has had acne.
My review.
I'm naturally a bitchy person who lacks emotion. I had no issue properly inserting the ring. I also downloaded an app reminder. I feel more happy & personable. I maybe losing weight also. I feel secure having an easy form of bc."


"I started this April 2015. I have not even had an urge to drink at all in these past months. No noticeable side effects."


"I took this drug for a month, my condition got worse. I ended up in the hospital it got so bad. It's been over 4 months since I stopped taking this drug and I still feel the effects. Please ask questions before taking this drug. I should have looked into it more.  Find out what percentage of people actually get better, the last time I checked it was 33% get 75% better, what about the other 67%. Thankfully I have good doctors that figured out how to help me."


"I absolutely hate this birth control. Yes, it keeps me from getting pregnant but the side effects are TERRIBLE. i've been on this birth control now for almost 3 months and i've been breaking out like crazy. i've never had acne problems besides an occasion zit here and there. After taking this birth control my face has huge zits everywhere! im switching immediately. It also makes me act crazy!!! and i've gained 10 pounds. im done with this birth control!"


"I had my Paragard removed today. I had it for about 17 months and maybe 3 months after the insertion I started feeling really bad, first just depression, insomnia and overall feeling of not being well, then I developed a bad anxiety followed by panic attacks, my heart beating like crazy from the minute I woke up, I was a wreck not able to get myself to work and be productive, I was drained, exhausted and unhappy, I was not able to enjoy anything, day after day. I had my blood and urine tested and everything seemed fine to my PCP, they wanted to treat me for mental issues because I really thought I was going crazy. I went to my gynecologist for a check-up and mentioned my symptoms, they said nothing...Now I am dealing with copper overload!!"


"Effexor saved my life. I never knew what I "had" could be cured. I'd tried other antidepressants but they made my anxiety worse or vice versa. Effexor has given me back a will to live. It's lifted the fog of anxiety. I take 150mg. My stress level and blood pressure is WAY down. Someone mentioned strange dreams, I'd like to second that."


"I was on this pill for a little over a year. It cleared my acne very well, it worked perfectly to prevent pregnancy (noted that I NEVER missed a pill and was NEVER more than 3 hours late.) I never had any negative side effects with this pill. Only thing that it did not solve was my awful period cramps. Did lessen my heavy bleeding, though."


"I was prescribed Gabapentin for anxiety and insomnia. I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and had a tough time getting used to my CPAP and didn't sleep for several nights in a row. The first night I took the Gabapentin I slept! And I've slept every night since then. I take 800 mgs during the day and 800 mgs at night for 1600 total. I sleep between 7 and 9 hours every night now. My neurologist also told me that Gabapentin increases slow wave sleep. Before my CPAP (and the Gabapentin) I was getting no N3 slow wave sleep at all. So this drug is amazing for sleep, for me at least."


"Just started on complera a month ago. This is my first medication and I have to say I am very happy with it. Like others I waited over a month after I got my first prescription before I started taking it. I was more scared of the medication then when I first found out six years ago I was positive. The first couple of days I had some dizziness and fatigue and I have experienced some gas. However they have all subsided. I have read a lot of people have problems taking it with a 400 calorie meal. I was never a breakfast eater but decided I would take my pill in the morning. I have half a whole wheat bagel with two tablespoons of peanut butter 325k and half a cup of cottage cheese 110k for a total 435. Very light meal but provides the calories."


"Been on Seroquel XR for 8 years. Can't believe I wasn't on this medicine when I was working , maybe I would not of been alcoholic for 40 years."


"Started out with mild gas, then went to intestinal pain, bloating and diarrhea."


"I'm 18 years old and have had all three of these shots. I don't understand why people make this shot to be such a big deal. It barely hurt when I got them. Even if it did, who cares? If the shot is going to help you out in the long run. I never had any bad side effects I recommend it to any woman who likes to be proactive."


"great product! Before trying this I used so many over the counter products, but this left me super clear, I had moderate to severe acne, today I get compliments on my skin almost daily! Try it and it may cause more breakouts in the beginning but its definitely worth the wait. I never write reviews but if this can inspire someone to continue finding a solution to their acne It would leave me feeling more than great. I used to cry daily about it and understand how self torturing it can be. Besides using this product, I also wanted to say I do not eat red meat and try to stay on a strict diet, with no dairy, and gluten free foods. I do eat chicken, fish, etc. I believe this has also impacted my skin greatly. There's hope trust me I know it's annoying but with persistence anything is possible!"


"I have had IBSD for 37 years which has made it impossible to hold down a job for long periods of time. I get a job and work as long as possible when they get tired of a sick employee then I have to look for another. Today is my first day of taking 100mg bid. Within 15 minutes I get a warm sensation like I just got I v contrast, body aches and chest pain then followed by numbness. 1st day in years I have. Even normal. Concerned about some of the reviews but the others make me hopeful.
Praying this works for me. Good luck everyone it is a depressing/exhausting Diagnosis which nobody can understand if they don't have it. Oh they have savings cards now for those who said it was $$$$"


"I found great solace in others experiences and empathise greatly. 10 minutes after insertion of Monistat 3 day there was incredible itching then burning for about an hour (I did receive some relief after this time) I did bear through it for two days but decided to read reviews on the third day. The side effects did say mild itch or burn and to stop if severe .... So what is their definition of severe???? I don't get yeast infections very often and don't recall ever having such discomfort with Canesten 3 day. I wouldn't use this product again."


"This is the first antidepressant I've been on and so far so good.  It worked rather quickly for my anxiety.  It is working more slowly for my depression, but I still feel much better.  I am currently on the 10 mg, maybe I'll go up to the 20 mg.

  I read previous reviews and have been eating lots of protein with it so the lower GI side effects have not been bad at all for me.

Do actually follow the warning label and do not drink alcohol while on Viibryd.  I had 3 glasses of wine last night and woke up depressed and mad at my fiance without much good reason.  I had a similar experience last weekend with less alcohol and a bit less depressive/obsessive thinking but still not healthy feeling."


"I have tried everything for this restless leg syndrome since the middle of the 1970's, nothing has worked.  Even my pain medicines that I take now for serious pain. But over the years no matter what was given to me for the restless leg syndrome it did not work until I was prescribed tramadol for some back pain after I gave birth to my daughter and I can say this much I have never woken my husband up in the middle of the night since I have taken them and I will never stop, I have had this problem since I was 8 yrs old.  We all get to sleep peacefully now and my legs have never felt better. And no I do not smoke or take the pill."


"It took over hour to start working, then still had some problems maintaining a  erection."


"It was prescribed post surgery as prophylaxis. Caused intense pain in the Achilles tendon and calf muscles.  Enough to discontinue use."


"I was on Asacol for over 10 years taking 2 pills 4 times a day. I switched to Apriso for another 10 years taking 4 pills once a day thanks to the time release. Lately I've been finding it cheaper than it used to be. I'll still have flares about 5 times a year. Sometimes I forget to take them for a few days and it doesn't bother me much. I am searching currently just to change it up since I've been on Apriso for so many years. For the most part, it's been fine though. My insurance counts it as a tier 3 which is a joke and I find it cheaper to order through online coupon sites getting 3 months at a time."


"Still feeling the terrible cramps. Has lightened my acne and helped me lose weight."


"I have ADHD plus anxiety. I was diagnosed 20 years ago. I've always had difficulties in school, work and life because of this. I've been on Ritalin, adderall, strattera (awful med) plus 30 or more anti-deppressants, anxiety meds, seems anything from A-Z.

I started 20m vyvanse month ago. 1st 6 days okay...had headaches. Then came irritability, paranoia, crying, scared, ALL negative. Concentrated to hard, more mistakes at work. I purposely dumped it in the sink. Only positive: 1-3 hours of energy. Doc switched me to Metadate CD. After 3 days, the fog began to lift and no side effects. I'm sorry I wasted $50. But that's life and today I'm good."


"I used Flomax for about 2 yrs. I woke up every hour to pee and could not wait, lack of sleep was making me tried and sleepy every morning. I lost the ability to hold back urine and wet my pants twice before quitting. I never saw any improvement with my symptoms %u2013 low flow, hard to start flow, stopped and started each time."


"Hi everyone! I just got the Kyleena IUD inserted today, so I cannot tell you about the experience of having it long term yet. However, I will tell you about the insertion process. Be warned that it WILL be painful. It is painful to have the cervix opened by the instrument while the IUD is placed into the uterus, however, for me it did not last any longer than two minutes. I would highly recommend taking 800mg of ibuprofen before hand, and having someone to drive you home. I would also recommend taking the day off afterward to pamper yourself by snuggling with a heating pad or hot water bottle and napping. The cramping persisted for me at its worst for about 2 hours, and for the next 6 I experienced bad cramping but it was manageable!"


"I just like to add that trazodone turn my life completely to happy after going through so much stress and anxiety and sleepless nights this medicine gets a 10."


"I just need some stability in my life. If I can't get that from a laxitive, where can I? I tried this several weeks ago for 5 days with no results, so I ended up taking Dulcolax pink tabs and almost got myself hospitalized from those little pink tablets of hellfire.

My doctor advised I try Miralax everyday to keep things moving, so I tried again. 3 days/doses later, I began cramping after dose 3 and moved my bowels 8 times in 6 hours with much vomiting. Very different experiences from one person."


"It feels like I put a jalapeño up in my vagina. This is a horrible burning pain that has me literally crying of pain.

DO NOT BUY !!!!"


"I agree it was painful and I too have experienced unpredictable spotting for the past 3 weeks. I have also experienced a lot of cramping and some mood swings. Thank goodness for a patient boyfriend! I plan to tough it out for the 3 month timeline the brochure discusses though. I'll update this later on."


"I had been wheezing and short of breath for 3 months without any relief.  I had been on the same inhalers for over 10 years and they were no longer effective.  I started anoro ellipta. I started noticing a change within 3 days.  I haven't needed my nebulizer or albuterol.inhaler.  I would recommend this medication to anyone with copd."


"Took Armour Thyroid for the last 10 years. When the formula was changed a couple of years ago, all of the hypothyroid symptoms set in. Weight gain, hair loss, etc. My new doctor switched my prescription to NP Thyroid about 6 months ago. Such a huge improvement!!"


"Currently having side effect of painful cramps down both arms. Creating painful hands that spasm."


"My 9 year old son has ADHD. Kapvay was the seventh medicine that we have tried to help him with impulsivity and concentration. He has been on this medicine for nearly one year. We switched to Focalin last month but the tics came back and the restlessness at night. His school performance was no better than before so we are back to Kapvay. Since the medicine must build up in the bloodstream to be highly effective, we are in the very sleepy stages but I know this will pass as soon as his body is accustomed to the medicine.

I have learned my lesson. There is no stimulant that will help my son. Kapvay will help reduce the impulsivity but improvement to concentration must come from age and proper training."


"Zomig works wonders for me for migraines. The only side effect I typically have is hearing my pulse in my right ear. Annoying (and weird), but not a deal-breaker. I take a high dose of Effexor and have no interactions that I know of. However, I once took it with Ambien and that was a big mistake as even the next day I felt off-balanced and weak. I also try not to take it within 4 hours of Tylenol for similar reasons. It's nice to have a medicine that works so well, so consistently."


"I am a military member.  I smoked when I woke, ate, and slept, and every moment in between.  I married a woman who smoked, and our life was scheduled around smoking.  We recently decided to attempt pregnancy.  Our first step was to quit smoking.  The base where I am stationed offered a smoking cessation program with Chantix.  They provided every side effect up front and released the medication the first day.  We smoked for the first week, the first pack of Chantix.  By day four, cigarettes were tasting stale and cravings were minimal.  We were able to quit on day seven.  Irritablility, increased dreaming, and nausea are our primary side effects.  All are worth quitting smoking."


"Excellent meds for depression ! Saved my life , my relationship, my job , my friends and family. Side effect for me ... Have to take it on an empty stomache or major heartburn . Also another side effect is it's difficult to ejaculate .."


"Worked for Me !!!!"
