"I had constant sinus infections caused by allergies.  Tried several medications but nothing would work.  Doctor finally prescribed Singulair and I have had relief ever since.  The only problem is the medicine can make me very irritable to the point that my wife can not stand me, and sometimes Singulair can cause insomnia."


"I hate this medication. My doctor gave it to me and says to keep taking it in order to feel the effects but I took it a few hours ago, I have the shakes, I get so hot and feel totally out of it. I can't wait til this feeling is over. I will not take it again"


"I had my Nexplanon inserted July 2016 after an accidental pregnancy and subsequent abortion. At first, the implant seemed like a dream. My period disappeared for the first three months. I did notice that my appetite was near nonexistent, which is not ideal for an active person. I went from working out 6 days a week to barely feeling good enough for the quick bike ride to work. As the months went on, my period got crazy - 14 day cycles - until this past month's 11 day period. Over the course of the last 8 months, I've forgotten who I am; my depression and anxiety have been surfacing much more frequently and I've gained 10 pounds. I got the implant out 2/21, and now I have the worst nausea of my life. I just want to feel like myself again."


"I am a female senior and started taking this drug about 8 months ago, so far it works well for the depression at 150mg.   I missed taking the drug for 2 days and as a result I had terrible symptoms when I went to bed, my muscles felt like they were tensed and shaking, could not go to sleep but must have at some point and had terrible dreams, now I feel quite ill, stomach upset, gut upset,  sweating, horrible.  Had to take some pepto bismol tabs to try to settle my stomach.  Took my pill at lunch today, waiting to see if I start to feel better.  Surely there must be a drug that can do the same job without the necessity to take it with food and won't send you body into a tizzy if you miss a dose or 2."


"I freak out about taking meds... but I suffer with tension headaches and nothing will ever phase them. I was prescribed 10mg of baclofen and just started to take half at night cause I was worried I wouldn't wake up... so far so good. No side effects and I woke up.  After a couple more days of making sure no side effects I will take whole. "


"Never found it to help with my chronic pain (due to a variety of pain issues); although, it does seem to keep my depression under control now @ 60 MG per day, without any side effects after 5+ yrs."


"Works immediately. A little shaky afterwards. Not sure how long it lasts."


"I had this inserted in 2007, the anesthetic needle pinched a bit (used to numb the area) and after that I didn't feel a thing. I had bruising in my arm where it was inserted for a week after and it was a little itchy but I didn't feel any pain. I took care not to use my arm too much.

I didn't get my period until 13 months after and then it was very irregular and there were times when a couple of months passed and I didn't have a period at all. My periods lasted for the same amount of time as previous to the Implanon, 5-7 days. The period pain was as before.  The side effects I noticed were weight gain - about 10 kilos off and on - and my mood. I got cranky easily and people close to me noticed I was a bit more moodier than before."


"I was prescribed Effexor for fibromyalgia.  Not only did it not help the fibromyalgia, but it restarted the menopausal hot flashes that had been under control.  In doing research for fibromyalgia, I discovered that it can cause hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms to be more intense in women with fibromyalgia.  "


"There's no doubt that Suboxone is a miracle. It's not as effective as methadone when one is addicted to high doses of strong drugs (e.g. heroin, not Vicodin), but it's a lot safer and can be prescribed in a doctor's office, without the trouble of going to a methadone clinic at 6:00 AM every day and having to do four hours of therapy a week, precluding any possibility of working any proper job, and sadly is stigmatized.

I'd be destitute, homeless, and probably in jail or dead today if not for Suboxone: I had a habit of 1-2 bundles/day. Failed "traditional treatment" (residential/steps) three times prior. Now I've been clean/sober from everything except tobacco for 2yrs/11months."


"I have been taking Tramadol for about 9 months.  A fortnight ago I started taking Panadol at the same time as my Tramadol after reading a study.  In my opinion it makes the Tramadol 4 times more effective.  I used to take it between 2am and 5am to help me get out of bed now I take 100mg with 1 Panadol before bed, and then again when I get up - I actually can now.  A big thanks to both the people who made it and thought of mixing it with Panadol!"


"This med lost one point only bc of it's so pricey
epiduo forte has totally changed my life!! I have tried seriously EVERYTHING to get rid of my acne. I'm 20, almost 21, and have been fighting it since I was like 14!! Trying med after med, everything a failure.
then I tried epiduo forte!! for the first couple months I was like, "whatever another failure" bc I didn't see any results. But then the 3rd month hit! and I haven't had acne since!! so here's my advice for epiduo forte users:
1) USE LOTION W/ IT! something like cerave or cetaphil. put just a SMALL drop that you spread all over then use lotion on top of that
2) use it at morning AND night (w/ lotion) if you need to! I saw better results this way
3) Don't give up on it. give it 3 month"


"I was having to go 10 plus times a day and started to lose weight because every time I ate I had to run to the bathroom. So now with the Lomotil I go maybe three times a day and I only have to take 3 of these a day, which is nice 2 in the morning after the first trip to the bathroom and 1 after each extra trip which only ends up to be two more times, 3 at the most. This is the one medicine I don't want to live without."


"I am going back on these! I have an appointment and it can not come soon enough. I slipped back into depression gradually and feel numb and do not have interest in anything. It scares me to be like this!  When I was on Cymbalta before the side effects did fade, mostly dry mouth and tiredness. I took them at night and it helped. I felt I wanted to try medicine free because after 2 years felt better. Well one year later and I am depressed again! Going back on them! The withdrawal symptoms did not bother me, I weaned gradually.  Wellburtin XL worked for me too, I lost a lot of weight on that one! GOOD side effect."


"Have had a sluggesh bowel with incomplete emptying in a daily basis.  I was always full, bloated and miserable.  Since taking 145 a linzess in am I empty 100% and feel great EVERY day.  Changed my life, miracle drug for me."


"Its my first time using any sort of drug for anxiety. The doctor gave me a 10mg sized Atarax and it only made me feel sleepy. I still felt nervous and anxious over my work and these feelings didn't go away. Maybe I should be taking 25mg like the others here. Either way this 10mg capsules are suppose to last me until I go for my appointment with a professional pychiatrist."


"I am a statin Intolerant  patient who was initially excited to try this new drug. Was easy to administer and seemed to be working with little side effects (minor cough and cold symptoms).  Total Cholesterol went from 203 to 98 after just two months. As I continued to use the drug developed severe shortness of breath and heart palpitations. Sadly apparently I can't tolerate this drug either.  After further research, there is little research on long term side effects. My pharmacist told me that patients are reporting my same symptoms and even memory loss.  Not the drug for me."


"Extreme cramping and vomiting! Took 2 pills at 5.15pm. Woke up at 3am to the worst cramps of my life. Still haven’t been able to get off the toilet and it’s now 4am. Still cramping and vomiting but now with added diarrhoea. Will never take these again!"


"I just started taking Percocet today for a 2nd - 3rd degree burn I received on my leg during a fire. I couldn't walk since it happened a few days ago. Now I'm on 2 x 5-325 every four hours. I'm not high but now the pain is bearable. The Vicodin I was on didn't seem to do a thing but now I'm actually mobile. Gave my life a start."


"My son will be 17 next week. He was diagnosed with ideopathic bilateral pan uveitis 6 years ago. He had double cataract surgery at age 14. He was treated with 6-7 different immunosuppresant medicines, nothing worked. Last August, he was placed on Remicade, once a month.  His inflammation has been almost quiet for nine months. His vision is stable. He is back to school and for the first time in five years, he is able to enjoy being a normal teenager.  "


"This medication has changed my life. I have suffered from osteoarthritis for the past ten years. I had a complete knee replacement 5 months ago and even though the surgery went well, the recovery is long and difficult.  I have taken Narco 5mg from time to time and Cymbalta, Nucynta, Tramadol and over the counter meds. Nothing helped. I have been on the Embeda for two weeks and I can finally feel normal. I take the 20mg Embeda and I am very pleased."


"The product works great but the past 2 times I have bought it the click spray button only works when it want's to. Sometimes I can't get it to spray at all, like it's stuck.   "


"I've been taking lexapro for depression and anxiety for the past 3 or so months. at first I saw a change in my mood and anxiety levels, and my anxiety overall is a bit better. I don't know whether i need to talk to the doctor about upping my dosage or about taking another medication on the whole. Anyone else have or had this problem with lexapro?"


"I had smoked 2 packs a day for 44 years and a change was needed since I was not going to continue to pay such high prices to smoke outside in the heat, rain, bugs etc.  Started Chantix and never looked back.  I started to really look forward to the really vivid dreams each night.  No other side effects for me.  Refilled the prescription and cut dose in half for next 6 months.  After 4 1/2 years still smoke-free and have become an avid cyclist, riding nearly 5,000 miles per year.  Best part is that my lungs have fully recovered and regardless of the level of exertion when cycling I never have any wheezing or shortness of breath.  I may be breathing hard and fast after a tall hill climb or sprint but my lungs can keep up.  This is priceless."


"I LOVE this birth control! I heard many horror stories before I got the implant inserted. A lot of my friends did not have the same experience that I am having. I have had the device in for 4 months now. Since insertion, I have not had 1 single period. Not one. No spotting. No mood swings. No weight gain. (I have actually lost weight since insertion, but It is more likely due to my active lifestyle). No change in sex drive.

Insertion was a simple process with minimal pain and bruising.

I have been on many different types of BC over the last 14 years and this by far is my favorite. I wish it was more successful for other ladies. Guess I was just one of the lucky ones. Cheers!"


"I was prescribed this for pneumonia.  I have asthma also, so this didn't do much for my awful cough.  And it tastes like rubbish  I will be going back to request Tussionex tomorrow"


"I've suffered since I was a kid with IBS. Didn't know what it was, but I can say this. Stay away from caffeine and milk related products, as  I was especially drinking coffee at 9 years of age. Don't ask, just old grand parents who thought nothing of it. Stress, anxiety are also due to this IBS that I had or sometimes recurs. Librax is a life saver. I'm thin as it is, but getting even thinner was just ugly.  Thanks for coming up with a medication that controls this problem. All my symptoms have gone, and I feel I can function properly at work and with my two little ones. Life is wonderful again."


"In 1995 I had a stent put in. In 2001 I had a small heart attack. I have been on Plavix ever since and my blood pressure is normal and I have all my stents and no more heart problems."


"I am in the beginning of my third year of having the Implanon, and the worst part for me is the nausea. I did not have any trouble with my periods but there would be times when I felt slightly queasy. It has steadily gotten worse and more frequent. Ginger pills which seem to help. I am grateful that I never got pregnant but this isn't the birth control for me!"


"I would rate the effectiveness of this medication pretty high. I took this medication about 12 years ago but it seems to be working better this go round. I feel more cheerful, am sleeping a little better and the best part is less anxiety which was severe. I'm super happy about the decrease in anxiety I've experienced. I'm probably going to ask for  an increase in dosage. I'm currently on 20 mg. I wish you well to those of you who are just beginning this medication."


"For about 8 months or so I had started to feel completely different than I had ever felt in life. Now at 53 years old, I don't expect to feel like 20 but I sure didn't want to feel dead either. No interest in things, no libido at all, depressed, moody and didn't care. I had no energy...none!

My first thought was it was thyroid related since I suffer from Hypothyroidism and just thought the meds needed to be changed.   My doctor and I discussed it, took the various blood tests etc.  The thyroid was fine but my testosterone levels had fallen almost 200 points since the previous test about a year ago.   So, my doc put me on a one month trial of Axiron and what a difference.  Numbers up 100   no more complaints!"


"I've been taking Ocella for 6 months. First birth control I've ever been on and I haven't had any major problems. I used to have terrible cramps during my period with a very heavy flow and now it's wicked light and virtually no cramps! Didn't have any moody side effects and no weight gain."


"This is my 3rd time getting BV In a row each time I take the metronidazole is about the same it will clear up the infection for a good two weeks maybe three then it will come back. Never really had any bad side affects with the drug but I'm pretty sure it's time to get a different corse of treatment bc this isn't working."


"I typically dislike and try to avoid taking medications whenever possible, but with a recent anxiety diagnosis, I was convinced to at least keep some of this on hand in case I need it.  I must say that I LOVE Xanax.  It really calms me down within about 20 minutes of taking it and helps me sleep almost irrespective of what is going on, but it doesn't leave a hangover effect the next morning.  I'm currently in the phase of trying to find a more "regular" medication to control my anxiety/OCD (currently trying venlafaxine), as the Xanax isn't meant to be a daily thing. In the meantime, I'm still using this when I feel I need it.  Ativan and Valium don't compare."


"I have pain in my legs and when I take the medicine it help enormously.  I have had this problem until I started doing kickboxing."


"My mother has liver cirrhosis and had no option but liver transplant. After taking Sovaldi just 24 days, virus is in undetectable range. Million Thanks to GILEAD and Sofia MICHEL, its innovator."


"I am 21 and have not had children yet. My husband and I thought Mirena was a good idea because we want to wait a few years to conceive since I am in college still, and we want to be more settled before we start trying. Well I was nervous about the procedure, which was pretty painful but all I said was woah! No tears or anything so it wasn't THAT bad. However, since I have had Mirena (4 months) I have had heavy cramping (like if I stand up I get lightheaded and the pain is almost unbearable) and unpredictable periods with light to really, really heavy bleeding. I am going to give it 2 more months, however my husband is seriously encouraging me to have it taken out since he hates seeing me in intense pain regularly."


"Stopped my pain dead in its tracks. Lots of gas though"


"After reading all of the negative comments for this pill, I was hesitant to start it. I have had an awesome experience though. I have taken gianvi, ocella, and ortho lo before and they all made me either extremely mood or constantly hungry, but this pill has actually made me less hungry, has helped with the small amount of acne I have and it has done it's job well as far as preventing pregnancy goes. I am satisfied with this pill."


"I had the Gardasil when I was 14 I had zero side effects besides a sore arm. I have no complaints, Its done it job!"


"After reading all of these horrific reviews, I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty hesitant on taking these pills for the week. My gyno prescribed me 500 mg to take a twice a day for 7 days. I'm on my 4th day with no crazy side effects. I already see a lot less discharge and the odor has minimized greatly. The only negative thing I can say is the metal taste you experience when taking the pill. It's pretty bad but if you have juice and a food to bite into right after taking it, you'll survive! :)"


"This medicine has diminished my muscle spasms which resulted post-polio, but has not eliminated them."


"I was very nervous to use the IDU, I have been on the pill for three years and never had a problem. My period would last for 2 days sometimes 1 and be done. I wanted to try it because I didn't want to have be taking the pill everyday anymore. I was very nervous because what I have read. I finally had it done; It was the worst pain I have ever felt, it only lasted about 5 minutes and I had taken 5 200 MG Ibuprofen 45 mins before, but it hurt so much! After that I took more ibuprofen and it felt a lot better as the day went on I had more and more pain, felt dizzy and had horrible cramps and couldn't sleep from how bad it was! Was going to go get it removed ASAP! The next morning all pain was gone and I was back to normal!  Now loving it!"


"I was on Effexor XR for 8 years and I recently went off. I gave the drug 8 out of 10 because overall my anxiety and depression were greatly improved. I didn't have any sexual side effects and only felt dizzy when I did not take the medication at exactly the same time every night. I did lose a lot of my energy and was prescribed Wellbutrin to help out with that. However, the withdrawal, as others have mentioned, is terrible. My doctor prescribed a low dose of prozac (20mg) to ease the withdrawal and it really helped. If you are going off effexor, do it with prozac. I tried without it twice before and it was such a horrible experience that I went right back on."


"I was also given this through I.V. and started freaking out as well. I got really cold and my muscles contracted involuntarily and my teeth started chattering and grinding. My vision got dark around the edges and I could only see out of pinhole shaped . (Like looking through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars. I woke up several hours later wrapped in heatead blankets."


"Recently diagnosed advanced lung adenocarcinoma. After surgery began chemotherapy. This med helps allay anxiety, nausea, stimulates appetite and helps me sleep.  My mood is improved."


"Started VICTOZA on June 26th 2017 didn't really have any of the side  effects it did give me some what of a headache. I stared out taking 0.6 and now I'm at 1.8 I think you have to start out low so your body gets use to it. So far I have lost 20lbs and my sugar levels are really good. I got back to the doctor in August for my A1C last time it was 9.2 can't wait to see what it is this time. I will write another review in August."


"I thought this drug very effective bringing down my blood pressure from an average 146 over 89 to 120 over 70.  After three days I began to get more and more nauseous until I called the Doctor on the ninth day.  He said we would change to another prescription."


"I've had hep c for over 25 yr. after 4 denials finally got harvoni. Stage 4 / 6,500,000 viral load / geno 1. 5 wks first labs out of 12 wks treatment not detected. Unbelievable! I hope the next labs come back so well. Be persistent with insurance co. Think of every reason you want harvoni instead of other treatment and let them know often. It took a lot of phone calls & letters. Very seamless experience so far Able to work 40 plus hr a wk no problem. And I'm also one that didn't tell the world what I was going through only family I really think that's ok. People have closed minds some time. Still kinda of looked down on by some. And I get that. Just my experience so far. Good luck to all in this situation."


"Very helpful after L4-L5 rupture. I cannot tolerate opioids; my doctor was not too optimistic about this alleviating my pain (and it doesn't), but it, along with NSAIDS and steroids, allows me to deal with it."


"I've had skyla about 2 months now and I love it! My only issue is that my first 2 days of my period I get aweful cramps but the doctor said those will subside in a few months. Also, when I have to poop really bad I'll start to cramp too, but once I go then they go away haha"


"I've had this for 5 days and have had NO problems. No spotting, cramps, anything! Love it"


"After rashes,  pain, nausea, and elevated liver enzymes on Remicade, then Humira, the doc switched me to Orencia.  Felt very tired the evening of the loading dose, but not ill.  Now I feel better than I have felt in 4 years!  LOVE this stuff!"


"Xanax is a miracle for me. I can't live without it. It is not addicting. I never experienced withdrawl symptoms either. I am usually tense, high strung and anxious. Xanax makes me happy, easy going, talkative, calm. It helps me sleep, I can't sleep without it. I take zoloft and seroquel but without xanax nothing seems to work or help me. I love xanax and I take it daily or else I really just can't get through the day. I have anger and a short fuse and bad temper and xanax calms my storms. Xanax is the only thing that works for me and makes me sane and able to face life head on."


"I've been on the ring for 6 months. Before that I was on the "ortho tri cyclen lo" pills for almost a year. For the first 4 months I was raving about it to everyone who brought up birth control, be it customers, friends, family, etc. Things have changed since, my sex drive is low, I'm an emotional trainwreck for no reason. It's nice not having to worry about it everyday and it's been great at preventing pregnancy. Now it's harder to just put those negative things aside when I feel like it's affecting my relationship and myself emotionally. But I'm still deciding whether to stop using it because I don't want to just use condoms now since I'm not open to taking any other hormonal birth control at this moment."


"I suffer from anxiety,depression and PTSD.  This medicine has proven to be a great alternative over a benzo.  Being non habit forming is the best par .  I do get headaches and fatigue but it is better then the side effects associated with benzo.  I recommend this to anyone looking for a non addictive alternative to zanex"


"Crestor lowered my cholesterol but the muscle pain in my back was intolerable.  So I finally started taking CoQ10 and the back pain went away. But for the following two years I thought I had shin splints. It was the Crestor."


"My constant infections from  Mycoplasma infections are a thing of the past.  This medicine has kept intestinal leakage and polyps from recurring, keeps the blood in my urine to a minimum and constant kidney infections from recurring."

"I have been taking 15mg twice daily now for almost a year and feel like myself again. Once the side effects wore off I have been very happy and a lot easier to be around. My impulsivity has ebbed drastically and my temper has evened out. Love it, Thanks Doctor."


"If I could go back in time I would have never gotten Skyla inserted. I had Skyla in for only 53 days, yet the negative effects I experienced were very apparent. I had spotting the entire time, which I knew was expected, but the most horrific side effect was hair loss. I have lost over half my hair within those 53 days, and I am still shedding abnormal amounts. I am trying to stay positive in hopes that my body will stabilize itself soon. To anyone reading this, I urge you to take all the side effects into consideration. I am a healthy 25 year-old. I eat extremely healthy and workout consistently, but the hormones were apparently too much for my body to handle. I don't want anyone else to have to go through what I've endured."


"I'm on my second pack. I have not take birth control in years but my doctor recommended it to help with my endometriosis.  Previously I had cramps, no cramps now.  No spotting, period came as scheduled with the pills.  No headaches.  I have noticed some acne but nothing to worry about really.  I have gained weight, about 10 pounds, and went up 1 bra size, without any change in diet or my exercise program.  I find that I am hungry all the time and not sure how to lose these 10 pounds without going on a very strict diet.  Other than the weight, I'm very happy with Jolessa."


"My son's attention span now exists.  He does not wander off into his fairy land every 2 minutes. His teacher and other educators are very impressed with his work now.

My son complains of headaches probably because he has trouble falling asleep."


"My daughter and son were both prescribed this and it didn't work for either of them.  In fact, they both complained that it gave them a bad headache about an hour after taking it and they are both still coughing all night long.  Our pediatrician said this was just as good as Tussionex but much cheaper.  I'd rather pay $40 co-pay for the Tussionex since I know it works.  No relief for me or my children."


"I had this inserted in October 2014 and I haven't had my period since. I do get an occasional trace of it, but that its. I chose this birth control because I wasn't very good and remembering to take the pill and I did not want to get pregnant. The fact that I don't get my period is an added bonus."


"I suffered from tension headaches starting in my right temple and then manifesting in the back of my neck that would hang on for days--pain in the temple alternating between dull background to incapacitating twinges.

Fioricet has been very effective in cutting my headache cycle short. It has been a God send."


"I have currently been changed from Lortab 10 to Endocet 10 for herniated discs and I find that it helps the pain but makes me very tired and easily irritated. I can be fine one second and the next I want to punch someone then I'm crying. Although the Lortab wasn't as effective for the pain it didn't make me tired or crazy. I have 2 kids so I need to be on top of my game at all times. I also found it very hard to keep awake after taking these."


"I've been using Zarah for a year now. It works just as great as Yasmin. It didn't cause any weight gain, or mood changes. Those are the only things I'm scared of apart from the adverse effect of DVT. I had nausea only during the first 4 months of taking it. It reduced my headaches and dysmenorrhea, but I'm not sure if the former is just psychosomatic. I've never been pregnant on the course of taking it so it's an effective bcp!!! Another bonus is "glowing" skin. My skin was already in perfect condition, but Zarah (& Yasmin-which I took before it) made it "ethereal" as what people would say to me... and this is no joke. I'm giving the credit to Zarah (and Yasmin). Apparently, I'm switching back to Yasmin because of insurance coverage changes."


"I've finished 3 packs of this pill. I came off of Depo Provera...endless spotting and I got the worst acne of my life. So I switched to Trinessa 3 months after Depo. Things are back to normal, but even better than when I was on no birth control. With each pack, I've noticed more improvement in skin, length of period and my breasts have become more rounder. I can't say I am ecstatic about it yet, but maybe I need to be on it longer. Period is only a little lighter, but is definitely shorter. Went from 7 to 4 days. Cramps are only a little better. Skin is not nearly as clear as it was before Depo, but on its way!"


"works great, but you build up a tolerance, and now I need 5 times as much (2.5mg) to get the same effect as .5 mg used to give me. After 10 years."


"I'm 18 and was told I have arthritis about 10 months ago Plaquenil worked after the first couple of weeks but one major side effect is Mouth Ulcers and at times I've been in so much pain with them I couldn't eat. But then the alternative one said it could make my hair fall out (and that is not an option at my age)"


"5 days - from non functioning depressed to living and enjoying life! I had no side effects starting the medication and noticed a moderate improvement by day 2.  By day 5 / remarkable difference! My history is 20 yrs on ssri's and no improvement.  Spent 9 months this year completely non functioning.  Tried rispiridone and that caused lactation and sedated me.  Pdoc put me on 60 mg Prozac +5 mg abilify and I feel like myself! Not sedated, not wired, just normal happy me! Miracle!"


"Both of my feet need to be fused because of a disabilty that I have. I have extreme pain and can not walk.  The days that I could not walk ultracet helped me walk. No medicine works for me, but ultracet!  It is the best!!  Would recommend it to everyone with extreme pain."


"Percocet 10 MG, every 8 hours, while waiting to be able to afford neck surgery. Works wonders for pain. "


"I have been having pretty bad anxiety for most of my life. It has much recently become worse. I saw a psychiatrist for the first time, and she asked how my sleep was. I told her it was pretty awful. I woke up every two hours. I never felt like I got a full nights rest. She prescribed me this medicine. She said I could take one 25mg capsule and if I still couldn't sleep, take another 25mg capsule. I took a 25mg capsule before bed. It definitely calmed me down and made me somewhat drowsy, but I still couldn't fall asleep. I waited 2 hours and took another 25mg capsule as directed. I fell asleep in about 10 minutes and never woke up during the night. I woke up feeling refreshed! No side effects except dry mouth! I love this drug."


"I have meibomian glad dysfunction. I used the contents of one 2.5 ml vial over about a week, once daily at bed-time.  Had some issues with stinging on application and blurred vision for a few hours the morning after using it.  However, my dry eye symptoms are gone and my vision is better than it's been in years!  Great medication!  Other antibiotics (erythromycin ointment and neomycin/steroid suspension did little good.)"


"It gave me excruciating cramps and I thought I was dying. I had to run to the bathroom constantly with explosive, watery stools. It gets the poop out but geez, do you pay for it."


"I have been on and of Solodyn and it works awesome every time! I am 43 years old and started breaking out around my mouth. I was convinced it was adult acne. I never had acne in my younger years so I figured now it was my turn. I went to my dermatologist and he prescribed Solodyn. I noticed results as early as one week. I do get very dizzy and tired so I take it a couple of hours, before bed. It is very expensive so make sure you get the discount card from your dermatologist."


"It's was my first BC and at first my skin is begin to clear up. I honestly have pretty good skin I almost never have bad skin. But after like a couple weeks use I lost sex drive and was getting really bad UTI's almost everyday. Didn't enjoy."


"I am also very satisfied with Viread. I have a chronic Hepatitis B infection and my HBV-DNA was 103.000.000 in last February. Since almost 9 months I am using Viread and the virus level dropped down to only 20. ALT and AST levels are also now around 21 which I had never seen before in my blood-check paper. I have not faced any major side-effects until now that I can identify physically or mentally. But of course, I am also not sure if there is a change in calcium, zinc, iron levels in my body or if I will face any problem with any other parts of my body. "


"I have been taking Zoloft for about a month and a half now. I have noticed severe loss of appetite and I have been vomiting after I take the medication (even with the consumption of food). I have also been dizzy and more tired throughout the day. I also experienced low sex drive, slight memory loss and lack of motivation. On the upside, I haven't had any panic attacks, thoughts of suicide, and I have not cried since taking the medication."


"I have been on Lipitor for two weeks and will stop tomorrow.  My legs are hurting and cannot sleep.  For the first few days I was fine but now I ache from my hips down to my calfs.  I also have stomach cramps.  This is not for me, will tell Dr. this week and hopefully can try something else."


"At age 72 I had 4 weekly shots of Orthovisc on both, bone-to-bone knees. During the first 45 minutes after  injection the knees feel like brand new again. Then, it  wears off. But..after 2 weeks upon completion of the 4 shots, my knees feel wonderful. An amazing treatment, give it some time to really start working."


"It all started with the death of my fiancee and the father of my kids back in 1999. I started with mild anxiety, poster traumatic stress disorder and panic. It got a little better and I was off medicines from 2000 to 2006. Then in October 2006 I woke up and I thought I was going to die and was in the ER A LOT, for like 3 weeks finally went to psych doctor and they started giving me Ativan. I am very medicine-phobic and have only taken Ativan for the last 5 yrs, 3 mgs a day. Some days it feels the Ativan doesn't work at all and other days I get good relief fast. I have been prescribed numerous SSRIs and am always scared to take them because of all the side effects Ativan gives me no side effects. Recently I was told my blood pressure may be high as a result of the severe anxiety/panic. I'm scared. "


"I have herpes zoster and my Dr prescribes Lyrica, for the nerve endings. I took the capsules 1 day (2days ago) and after I woke up the next morning, I was completely disorientated, neuasious and vomiting, sleepy, drowsy, forgetful, having uncontrallable shakes in hands and fingers. I thought it will get better soon if I do not take it again. My husband took me to work where I slept the whole time. I had dry nose and mouth, couldnt eat or drink, muscle stiffness drunk feeling, and walking abnormal. I stopped taking it and feeling today better. Could have a shake for breakfast."


"I got liletta in July 2016, with two shots of toradol I still had a horrible experience with the insertion. I have never felt anything so painful. I constantly have mild cramping, pain with sex, and made me break out like crazy. The only nice things I have gotten from this is obviously no pregnancy and I've had one period since July that lasted 3 days. I'm getting this taken out on Thursday due to the painful cramping everyday."


"Clindamycin gel is no more effective than using an over the counter acne medication. Your practitioner will likely couple this topical acne med with benzoyl peroxide (to avoid bacteria resistance). As always, consult with a doctor after 8-12 weeks of using this product. Didn't clear my acne but improved my skin."


"I have been taking Viibryd for 25 days and I love it. I can tell a big difference in my overall attitude. This medicine makes you feel back to "normal" (the happy state before feeling overwhelmed with depression). I am a lot more motivated than I have been in the past and I have lost a little over 10 pounds. I am taking a 40 mg pill each day. I highly recommend this medicine to anyone. Obviously, talk to your doctor first. I hope this helps. Remember everyone is different, it may take a few medications before you find the right one. I hope this helps!"


"Gabapentin has saved my sanity.  I have severe RLS 24/7.  All day, every day.  No exception.  Was put on Requip, which did nothing.  I was then prescribed Gabapentin, and my legs immediately calmed down.  I couldn't believe it!  I was ecstatic!  I feel like a normal person again.  It has caused some dizziness, balance issues here and there, and cognitive issues as well.  But, nothing I can't live with.  I'm sure the symptoms will subside, since I've only been on this medication for about a week.  But, it's worth it to stop that horrible feeling in my legs.  I literally felt like I was going to lose my mind.  This has been a miracle drug for me."


"I've been using Zovia for about almost four months now and so far I think it's been wonderful, besides a few things. This was my first time ever trying birth control and I wasn't to sure about it. When I first started Zovia my first month was great no side affects or anything. Then my second month came and that's when everything went down hill. I started to get bad cramps, was very depressed, and was always throwing up. Also, my periods have actually gotten heavier and still last a full week. Till this day I still throw up every month one day out of my second/third week before my period. I still experience some depression but other than that my cramps and everything else have gone away."


"Yes, this drug works well regarding how fast my anxiety dissipated.  My 1st prescription & experience with a drug in the benzo-class.  It worked quite a while. My Dr. began my dose 3, 2mg 'bars' a day I had no anxiety.  Instead, I felt an alcohol intoxication feeling. My body/brain built a tolerance.  I was taking 5 to 7, 2 mgs a day.  I functioned as well as anyone. Save for the constant anxiety, I felt great.  I decided to stop.  I never felt worse. My 5 yr anxiety trial was 10 fold.  I began have seizures, cramping, not sleeping, anything, clothing touching skin made my entire body spasm. It is best taken in a low dosage & probably only when one feels an attack.  I now take a medication, a benzo-class, lower dose, take less & in therapy. "


"My husband had 2 treatments, by the 3rd scheduled appt. he had died. My husbands primary cancer was renal carcinoma which spread to lung after 3 years. He started having a stiff neck with a lot of pain, very low blood pressure, and later developed an intracranial bleed, that was it, over. I really believe the drug may have caused more problems than good. Like the previous reviewer said, do your homework."


"Our 11 year old son is diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type and has been on this medicine for 14 months now. It made a big difference for him. He is on 15mg Focalin RX. If he doesn't take it for a day, the teacher can really tell the difference. He can focus now and became a part of the class, contributes to the conversation and also has an easier time with his social life. He doesn't hate school anymore.

We don't see any behavioral issues at home when it wears off. He has appetite loss, so he eats a big breakfast before he takes the medication. He also got used to eat a sandwiches at school even if he is not hungry. It became a part of his routine."


"Growing up I was always skinny with age I've gained and now weigh about 220. Although I do have curves that I didn't have before the extra weight is a  lil depressing. I  started adipex a lil over a week ago. I haven't weighed myself yet but I don't see any significant change.  I'd like to get down to 170 or 175  but as long as I can get the extra fat off in the areas I want & stay healthy I'd be satisfied with that.   I exercise a little bit but not much and I need to drink more water than what I an now. Wish me luck."


"I had cystic acne on my face, neck, shoulders, and back. I have never been able to wear a tank top, or bathing suit and my hair with no makeup for 7 years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ACCUTANE! I'm not even done my 120 day course yet and I could almost cry right now, talking about how great I feel now. I think the trick to avoiding all those serious side effects is sticking to a lower dosage. I'm on 30mg a day and it took 3 1/2 months (BE STRONG PEOPLE IT TAKES TIME) and I can officially say I am acne free all over for the first time in 7 years. I wish I could be some sort of motivational speaker for this stuff. If you are thinking about it DO IT! Down side is the dry patches on my arms and cracked lips, the only thing that works is Vaseline. And another upside to it is my hair! It never gets oily! "


"I'm 50yrs old and have lived with psoriasis for half that time.  I don't like to even take ibuprofen so obviously I've been reluctant to go on such a significant biologic.  That said, Humira has been an absolute miracle.  I'm now after 90 days 100% cleared.  This is not BS.  THIS IS THE TRUTH.  I couldn't be happier."


"This birth control has been the best for me.  I know that there are many mixed reviews about it, but it has never given me any trouble at all.  I have also tried Lo Loestrin Fe, Trinessa (HORRIBLE vaginal irritation) and Ortho-Tri Cyclen which all gave me various side effects.  It just goes to show that everyone's bodies respond differently to different medicines.  This birth control cleared up my acne, increased my cup size, and regulated my period.  The only issue that I could complain of would be slight mood swings from time to time, but honestly that's it for me.  I would highly suggest giving this birth control a try!"


"Hi Ladies! I'm a 23 year old female with no children. So far I had my Skyla for 6 weeks. One of the best decisions of my life! The insertion was painless during my period and I have a low tolerance for pain but I did take ibuprofen and Tylenol at least 30 min before the procedure. I did experience deep cramps for an hour and my period vanished. I do spot on occasion nothing a thin panty liner can't take care of...but I did notice I was very emotional this week than usual...I'm not a crier but I found myself shedding tears 4/7 days this week and my sex drive is through the roof sometimes and sometimes it's very low (I've always had a low sex drive), plus I've been sleeping a lot this week. I have my 6 week check up this week so wish me luck!"


"I had the Implanon inserted three weeks ago. Insertion was equivalent to getting a shot in the gums at the dentist office after they numbed me I just felt pressure. I started my first period on the Implanon it came a week early. If you've ever kept taking the birth control pills continuously to miss a period and you still had your period that's what it's like so far. It's light, but it's probably going to be long. I had really heavy periods, so hopefully it stays light and shortens up."


"I was given 1 mg Dilaudid IV every 2 hours after gallbladder surgery. It controlled my pain better than the Morphine and I had no side effects."


"I've had recurring yeast infections and I have to say that this works amazingly. Quick relief of symptoms, which if anyone has an yeast infection can agree. This is the first thought that comes to mind.  I'm so thankful that my doctor prescribed this for me."


"Started taking May 5, 2015 with pm pill first.. Slight headache ( but not enough for me to take anything for it), stool softer (sorry want to be honest), and dry mouth for first two days only. Today is May 9 and down 4pds...remaining side effects just dry mouth!!!!..but I can live with that we all need to drink lots of water anyways .

42 year old female started 217 pounds, 5.8""


"I’ve been taking 10 mg for a few weeks now but I don’t think it’s helping. I cry myself to sleep every night. My parents notice a difference in my mood but it’s only because I’ve stopped showing emotion around other people. I save my feelings for when I’m alone."


"Diabetic for 17 years. On Metformin 2000mg, Sitagliption 50 mg and Glimperide 2 mg. A1C is 6.5. Weight 200 lbs.
Started Invokana 100mg last week once daily. Primary reason to start this to see if any weight loss is possible and to eventually stop glimperide and if possible Sitagliptin. No problems so far except a some increase in urine output, which is expected. Hence giving a rating of 5. I will repost after 3 months with any weight loss  and A1C numbers. The drug is relatively cheap in India, around $25 for thirty 100 mg tablets that lasts a month."


"I started this on 12/25/13 I was at 214 lbs. Now I'm at 203lbs. My goal is to be at 150lbs. Love this."


"My 2 year old daughter and I were both diagnosed with Influenza A on the 19th. I had chills, upper respiratory symptoms and slight body aches. I have never seen my daughter that sick. She was burning up at 103 degrees, lethargic, not able to keep anything down... Just awful. We took Tamiflu the night of the 19th and at 2am her fever broke. She was able to keep food down and even got up to play a little on the 20th. Today she's nearly 100% herself again. So am I! The only drawback to the med for us is that we both got diarrhea several times.  The benefits far outweighed the side effects."


"One day treatment - seems to work in a few days but boy that first night is pure torture. It burns like hell and is unbearable.
Minimized leakage with a tampon and protected area with generous use of petroleum jelly. "


"I suffered from high anxiety, panic, deep depression - started on Seroquel 25 morning and 25 night, coupled with 75mg Tofranil at night.  These two combinations saved my life.  Seroquel took some getting used to, have gained some weight and had some vision problems, but all in all feeling so much better, would highly recommend Seroquel for anxiety related issues."


"I rated this drug a nine because of the weight gain in my midsection.  Dr.

Says I no longer have osteopenia or osteoporosis, however, I have gained 8 pounds in 10 months despite decreasing my calorie intake and increase in exercise."


"This birth control was the best thing for me because I'd bleed for a month straight before the pill. This was difficult since I play sports . Now I only get my period once every three months . My period comes right when it should (on the sugar pill). The only bad effects I've had is weight gain, bloating, and increase in appetite. I've read many reviews and weight gain is an issue but if you workout regularly you should see decrease in bloating"


"I am not an emotional person, I rarely cry, and I am taking birth control mainly for menstrual cramps. While my cramps have subsided and my period is lighter and shorter, I have had extreme emotional swings and changes in appetite. I have experienced anxiety, and these conditions have worsened with each progressive month. "


"In 2014 I was diagnosed with PCOS. I was 14 years old and had no idea what to expect. In 2017 I was switched from Tri-Previfem to Junel FE 1/20, the 21 day pack. I've been on it for 3 months now. In that time span I've been constantly woken up from nightmares and have anxiety attacks and heart palpations. My mood has literally been off the wall. I snap at everything. If someone even asks me a question I blow up. I'm also constantly nauseous. I honestly thought I was pregnant at first, but many doctors and home tests proved me wrong. I wouldn't suggest this because I've never had problems with anxiety before this. Definitely going to my gyno to switch soon!!"


"I went on this website when I was just starting out on Zoloft and it helped calm my nerves so I wanted to return the favor. When I first got on the drug I had every side effect. Extreme nervousness, extreme anxiety, insomnia, dry mouth, dizziness and depersonalization. I thought it would never end. But just as most of these posts state, most of the side effects went away in 2-3 weeks. I started taking it at night but switched to the morning and that helped a lot. I'm on 25 mg and I have no plan or increasing the dose. I believe that everytime you lower or increase you will have side effects again. I wish I started on 12.5 mg(half a pill) because I think it would have helped with the side effects. The drug works... push thorugh!"


"Came off Atripla due to "slight" potential for resistance to the part that affects the CNS. So having resistance testing done can pay off..Plus I had real problems sleeping when taking Atripla. I was only on Atripla for about 5 weeks while awaiting resistance test results. then within 30 days on the new Isentress and Truvada my Viral Load went from 45,000 to 125 and my CD4 up from 670 to 1,000 plus. So Atripla helped get me there but the new treatment has no side effects on me. I now sleep so well. Bliss! While I get the medicine for about $40 per month in Australia I have to get BOTH Truvada and Isentress total $80. It is very expensive if I am caught short working on a project overseas, like $500..for a months supply."


"I have been on numerous medicines that did not work. Dr finally put me on Tekturna and blood pressure really came down. However I have had to change insurance and they require proof that other medicines have not worked, they don't want to pay because it is expensive."


"I've just turned 40. I have 3 children all by caesarean (19,16 and 9 yrs). I've had very heavy bleeding for a few years so after having blood tests and a biopsy of my uterus they found nothing wrong with me , so suggested the coil. I've had it in now for 15 months which at first was annoying as I bleed heavy for 92 continuous days! But since that its brilliant no side effects not even one. I haven't bleed again since . No headaches, pain, nothing. So when it's ready to come out I'll have another put in."


"I've been on this pill for about a month and I love it. No mood swings and same sex drive. The only noticable difference is my breasts! They are so tender. They feel as if I have a 90 pound clip hanging on my nipples. I do get nauseous through out the day but its bearable. My weight is the same. Sometimes I have an appetite, other times I don't. Overall, this is a great birth control."


"I've had hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember (5/6 years old my mom noticed first) My problem areas are my hands and feet. 24 now, but growing up and going to school was a total MESS for me. I hated it. The equivelant to that are my job interviews now. I developed social anxiety and anxiety in general. I ruined so many pairs of shoes, and I could never wear sandals or dress cute because my ankles would show my sweat also. Could never get my nails done either ughh. Anywho, I tried Drysol for the FIRST TIME last night. No side effects, although my hands and feet feel a little dry this morning (8am). I normally start sweating for no reason as soon as I wake up.. no sweat just yet. I'll update l8r. Running out of room :)"


"I was at my wits end with trying to lose weight. My doctor prescribed Adipex. I started on October 11/2011 as 01/2012 I have lost a total of 45 pounds! I weighed 259 I'm now 215 I would like to lose a total of 104 pounds. I am very healthy, workout out five days a week using a combination if walking /running five miles, high impact cardio, weights, and household chores.
I love the new me. My advice is please don't depend solely on the pill you must do your part."


"I have been using Bydureon for about 3 1/2 months now. My first month with the pen went well. The next month only one malfunctioned due to the plunger would not push in after it has been twisted out. So far I have been able to get 1 of 5 pens to work in the past 5 weeks. This pen sucks. I would rather have the one you have to mix yourself. I have missed a lot of shots since my insurance will not refill once every 30 days as well as lost on on the money spent for this worthless pen."


"I got my implant inserted in Nov. of 2014. Throughout the year my periods have been great!! I would go one month with a regular 6 day period then 1-2 months no period then back to a regular 6 day period another month. Unilt 3 weeks ago!
on 09/11/2015 I start bleeding, which I though was just going to be a 6 day regular period. Boy was I wrong. Today is now 09/22/2015 and I am still bleeding. Out of all 3 weeks I had like 2 days where I was spotting, then the next day after I was spotting I went to heavy! I have made an appt to get the implant out because I can not take any more bleeding."


"Best birth control I have used. Only downside is a little libido loss. Besides that, it's wonderful. No more periods, no weight gain (Actually I've been able to lose some).

I love it!"


"No side effects besides the fact that after a year of taking it nonstop, I started to have major mood swings. "


"Naproxen is the only thing that will make my gout subside when I have an attack."


"I want to share a positive coil experience. Had it fitted today after being terrified it would hurt like in all the reviews I read before. I took ibuprofen before and brought a bottle of water. My doctor was very gentle and after trying several different speculums, she fitted it. It was a strange sensation more so than pain. it was all over in about a minute or less. Felt a bit queasy after so she gave me a wet towel for my head. a minute later I was fine. I drove home, slight spotting but that's it. 6 hrs later; taking it easy lying on my bed. Have yet to see if it helps with weight loss, after piling on lbs in the pill, but so far so good! :)

34, childless, from UK."


"I take this medicine for unexplained seizures. The doctor said they were caused by severe panic attacks. I don't know. It has helped a lot. But the side effects are terrible. Stomach burning, nausea, itching, drowsiness, and much more. I take 1000mg dose."


"I have been on Victoza for three weeks.  I started at .06 and after two days felt nauseous but that past.  Then on the second week I was increased to 1.2 and felt slightly ill can't eat a normal meal.  I never feel hungry just eat minimal amounts because I know I have to.  I lost 6 lbs. in three weeks.  I have been walking for the last year 5 miles a night and could not loose an ounce.  Once the nausea lifts I will love this medication."


"I  switched from a Paragard to Mirena and guess what love it more everyday. No cycle, no acne no worries about protection. Yes a little discomfort when inserted but nothing a Tylenol would've cure. Love it"


"Applied 5% topic twice daily (as prescribed)

Hair regrowth very significant, both at top of head and front line, within 3 or 4 months after starting using the drug

BUT severe impotence and anxiety, irregular heart beat; such side effects disappeared shortly after discontinuing the use of Minoxidil topic 5%"


"This was prescribed to my 5 year old for his allergies. It worked wonderfully (2 weeks) until this week. He started complaining of leg and stomach pains, then the diarrhea. We are on day 3 of the diarrhea and he just can't handle anymore. At first I thought it was just bad luck until a little research and reading these post. He will be stopping the medication."


"Good."


"I have been on this medication for over a month at the highest dose. I haven't lost any weight and it has caused chest pain, so much so that I had to get an EKG. It has also  caused severe upper stomach pain, I wouldn't recommend this medication to anyone it's not worth the cost!!"


"Episodic incidences of serious back spasms and pain due to having herniated discs of L4 and L5. Skelaxin relieves the spasms so I get back to somewhat normal in as short as time as possible without feeling drugged out and tired. It works so far as to what it was prescibed for."


"Although I developed serious reactions to this medicine, it was best medicine to use with Gemzar over my initial diagnosis and secondary recurrence.  On my third recurrence (ten years later) I again had a reaction butmnot until my CA-125 went below 1,000!"


"I know its really scary thinking your pregnant when you know your not ready .. I'm 16 my experience was terrifying to me . It happened when we noticed the condom broke, he didn't fully ejaculate in me but some slipped in as he pulled and thats when we noticed the condom was ripped. 4 hours later I was able to take a the plan B no side effects occurred. It was on Friday 13th , then exactly one day before one week passed I got my period ! Don't stress . Taking the the pill works the sooner the better ."


"I was on this bc 2 & a half months before I decided to stop. This was not my first BC & previously I had no issues with bc. The first month was okay but around the 2nd month I started having terrible nausea at nighttime. To the point where I wasn't able to leave the house. I also had extremely decreased libido. Went from having sex daily to maybe once a week. No change in weight or appetite other than not wanting to eat because of the nausea. I have now been off of trisprintec for about a week & haven't had any nighttime nausea at all. Every bc effects everyone differently but this was not the one for me."


"Started on this med with phenob at age 12 due to grandmal seizure   Seizures stopped at age 16 but I am now 70 with no seizures since. total of 58 years. Its 100 three times a day with phonobarb 30 three times a day.  Had  sore gums that rotted my teeth. Low b12 levels and low iron over time.  I take B12 monthly, folic acid 5mg every second day. Small price to pay for no seizures for 58 years."


"I was nervous about this drug - scared I'd turn psychotic. I haven't yet! I'm in my 6th week, been a non-smoker for 4 of them. I take it after eating & with a big glass of water, that cuts down the nausea. Vivid dreams at first, no nightmares. I wake up in the night to pee, without fail, & that is only since the Chantix. I'm sleepy & kinda cranky...kinda very cranky sometimes!! But I can breathe & laugh without coughing. I don't start my day hacking my lungs up, it was going to kill me. I'm ready to start tapering, I'm going to 1/2 pill 2x day for a week then I'll drop to once a day & then, hallelujah, my body will be my own again!"


"I thought this was the diet pill that I had been waiting for since trying plenty of others and the first month it worked like a dream. Lost 10 pounds but the second month all I have lost so far is the $167.00 it cost to refill it."


"This was without a doubt one of the most painful experiences I have encountered in my 65 years.  I had it last January.  The shot itself was not bad, but immediately after the shot, the pain around the knee was excruciating.   I pretty much lived with pain twice as bad as before I had the shot for the next eight or ten weeks.  Staying off of it, icing it and pain killers were the only help.    Eventually the pain slowed down, but I would recommend that people look carefully and study the possible side effects before doing it.  I  had a partial knee replacement in July (six months ago) and the results are spectacular...  I am walking, doing water aerobics and extremely active without any pain."


"For the past few months I have noticed a fast and irregular heartbeat which at times scared. I stopped taking the candesartin 3 days ago and I feel so much better. Will be visiting doctor asap"


"I've been taking this birth control for about a year now and I actually went on it because of my awful mood swings. I would uncontrollably cry about anything and everything so I figured maybe birth control would help even out my hormone levels. I think it has helped with evening out my hormones and controlling my mood swings although I still have days where I am awfully moody. I did gain a little weight on it.. nothing noticeable to the outside world except me. I've always had acne prone skin and it hasn't helped or worsened it. Overall it's been pretty good although I am trying to switch to an implant because I've gotten annoyed with taking it every day."


"Got the implant put in about four months ago. So far I'm very pleased with it. I wasn't sure at first as I thought it was contributing to a bit of depression but I am pretty sure this was purely circumstantial for me (as I was going through a big life change at the same time). Insertion was quick and easy, the local anaesthetic needle stung a tiny bit but nothing major. Only spotted for 3 days and nothing since. Noticeable increase in my libido compared to combined pill! A few spots on my jawline but they aren't noticeable. Would recommend to anyone who cannot take the combined pill. I have tried everything else and am now finally satisfied with this. It doesn't agree with everyone but if you're one of the lucky ones, it's a God send!"


"I got Nexplanon 8 weeks postpartum. Since I'm breastfeeding, I had no period before getting it. I got it inserted on a Friday and started bleeding the following week on Thursday. The bleeding lasted for a week straight. I'm going to assume it's my period. The only side effects I had was the bleeding and slight increase in appetite (no weight gain though) oh and the nasty bruise by the insertion site. I was nervous about getting a hormonal birth control birth control. I was on the pill a couple years ago and was not myself on it. I'm really happy with Nexplanon so far."


"I was very nervous to take this because of the reviews, but my UTI symptoms were so bad I had to try, especially since I'm allergic to sulfa. The first 3 doses I had no side effects so I was very happy, but then the last 3 were not so good. Lots of stomach cramps and my fibromyalgia nerve pain (which had been dormant for 2+ months) came back worse than it had ever been, shooting pains in my hands and down my legs, my knee gave out when I was walking and I'm only 24 years old so it was very surprising to suddenly fall. The UTI symptoms are gone now though so I'm happy about that, I just hope the nerve pain goes away again."


"I was on this pill for little over a year and then started getting Large blood clots. I ended up losing a lot of blood and ended up in hospital and had 2 blood transfusions. Be careful or you may be in the same position I'm in right now. Thank goodness one of my dr's prescibed me a different pill."


"synthroid did not work well feel much better now on Armour Thyroid"


"Worked great on the anxiety. Was TERRIBLE for weight gain. I gained 30 lbs in 3 months and this was the only change to my routine. I was not eating more or differently. I was doing more because my arthritis hurt less. So, as far as I am concerned it was the Cymbalta.

So if feeling calmer and more able to handle stressful events is worth the extra weight, then this is a good pill.

For me, the extra 30 lbs was not OK, and it is a new experience for me. I have never had a weight gain problem before."


"I have a sleep disorder where I will have hallucinations and sleep walk which is caused by anxiety in my daily life. I also have generalized anxiety disorder. My physiatrist put me on 12.5 mg of seroquel for sleeping  and 150mg of topamac for a skin picking disorder I have had for years. Wow for once in my life I have found relief!
2 years ago I was taking lexapro and I was in the worst shape of my life the lexapro made it impossible for me to sleep and the skin picking was out of control. It was destroying my image and I was losing all control.  I went to the doctor and was put on ciblex which was wonderful for my sleep and anxiety but it made me gain 40 pounds....unfortunately this was not good for me either. So we changed to seroquel."


"After trying Zoloft and other medications, Effexor XR was the only medication that controlled my outbursts and hives I was getting from the daily stresses in my life.  Without the medication, I wouldn't be able to function and live my life as I am now."


"I wish I could give this a zero! I was on this for almost two years. It was the worst mistake I ever made. I took them continually (never having a period) I only did this because I was having diverticulitis flares with every menstrual so my Dr teamed up and needed me to stop my periods for awhile. I gained 40 pounds, had zero sex drive. It did interfere with my marriage. I was sad, depressed and moody. Had no energy.. then came the panic attacks. I've never had those before. Luckily by chance a round of antibiotics I was taking for a UTI made me have break through bleeding so my Dr said to get off and allow my body to have a period. I'll never get back on them. Pls be careful on these pills!!!!!"


"I've posted here a few month ago and it's an update. I'm starting the 4th pack now, and almost everything I was complaining about went away!
During the first few months I've gained around 10 lbs, my boobs became much larger (that was super uncomfortable, bc they're large anyways), I felt a little depressed and tired (nothing I couldn't handle though, I've been living my normal life). I couldn't work as hard as I wanted. Now I've lost all the weight I've gained and me is me again. Feels like magic. Also my tastes for food changed a bit. Something I loved does not taste good for me anymore, it's strange, but fun to experience."


"Im on my 3 week of clomid i ovulated  the 2 and 3 week and nothing no  baby yet"


"The only reason I am prescribed them is to stop my period for several months (I skip the inactive pills and start a new pack). The first month was okay but into week 3 of my second month I started having heavy  "spotting", enough to need a tampon. Two weeks later I called my Dr to inform them that I had been bleeding for two weeks straight and ask what was going on. They insist that my body is just getting used to the hormones and to keep taking them. It has now been over a month, I'm almost done with my third pack and the bleeding/spotting every day is STILL an issue.  On the rare moments when it's light enough for sex, forget about it. I have no desire and dry as the desert. I'm also extremely tired and have had random breakouts."


"I was on the Depo shot for about 3 yrs and went off it (only because it is recommended to take breaks from it) and went on Yaz. I am aware that each BC affects everyone differently, I had a horrible experience. Breakthrough bleeding, severe mood swings, headaches, and unpredictable periods. I got off it after 3 months and am about to try Sprintec...here's hoping this works out better!"


"No side effects,only stayed on it for 30 days, seemed to be doing a pretty good job of keeping blood levels around 110, reason I dropped it was because my insurance does not cover it and it's REALLY expensive, $3.50 t0 $4.00 bucks a pill."


"This medicine doesn't work at all. It should be discontinued. Clinic prescribed it to me because they aren't allow to prescribe medicine that actually works, like codeine cough syrup. Now I'm heading into my 2nd night hacking and coughing with no relief in sight."


"I used Clobex spray this summer for 4 weeks in June 2017.  This gave me almost immediate clear skin on my elbows.  This lasted until September (long sleeve season).  Thanks Clobex,  I plan on using this every summer to give me clear skin during short sleeve weather.  Hopefully some day they find a permanent cure for this disease !"


"I used to wake up several times a night because of my random spasms and limb movements. I haven't experienced them since takin this medication."


"The taste is sweet and salty, like cough medicine. I highly suggest using juice or Gatorade as a chaser after drinking the prep. I felt nauseous and like throwing up, but drank water after Gatorade. 10 mins Later I felt the effects. Do not leave your house, use babywipes or water to cleanse after every bowel motion, stay near a bathroom, use Depends if you are concerned you can't make it to the bathroom, and eat chicken broth to soothe stomach. Stay away from acidic juices because your bottom will hate you for the next 4-8 hours."


"It really helped my husband's lung infection.  It was great!"


"It cured  yeast infection but also caused severe itching inside as well as hives all over my body. Even after getting medicines to treat the reaction things didn't go away. 24 hrs on allergy meds and I still am miserably itchy and covered in hives"


"This was my first time on birth control. At the beginning typical symptoms occurred such as nausea and spotting, but after a couple of weeks these symptoms faded away. I didn't have a problem with acne before occasionally it will flare up when my period was about to come or stress, but I noticed that it has cleared up my face and my back significantly. I rate this birth control a 5 because even though it has helped preventing pregnancy and regulating my period, every month I would get a yeast infection. The yeast infection got so bad that my doctor had to prescribe medication for it to go away Monistat as a treatment was out of the question. I was on this pill for four months."


"Took this for almost five months and noticed a major impact on my sex drive. I never ever wanted to have sex like at all. Gave me killer dry mouth and I gained 8 pounds. Quit taking it three weeks ago and sex drive is back to normal and no more dry mouth."


"I have been on this for about 5 weeks.  The first two weeks, my blood sugars actually increased a bit, then started going down slowly.  I was having blood sugars in the 300s after meal and 200s after fasting. They have improved to  the upper 100s to low 200s after meals and in the upper 100s after fasting. I know this is still not good, but so much better than it was. I am hoping that these numbers will continue to improve.  Alot of people have complained about the shots and side effects.  The shots hurt more than the pen needles used with Byetta (which did not work for me), but not that big of a deal. No lumps from them.  I've had virtually no major side effects."


"This really does work and the issue now is  I think my body is use to it now because I'm starting to sweat in my armpits again."


"This medication works pretty well for my son, but for the price."


"36 year old male when I quit. Started when I was 14. I was smoking two packs a day. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone. Worst thing for me was the dreams.  Over two years without a cigarette and much happier. I took it for 6 weeks."


"My husband has been taking Abilify in conjunction with Effexor and Lexapro, for obsessive compulsive disorder. It's amazing - he gets going and out-of-the-house much easier, and has actually been on-time for the first time in his life. His productivity is hugely improved and his compulsions are fewer/shorter. First success we have seen."


"I've only been on it 6 weeks. If you're going to let a Doctor prescribe this for you, make sure your doctor is going to be there through all of the side effects that come with it. I had to replace my first vascular surgeon already because he didn't care at all that my periods were now 16 days long. This drug may cause me to have another surgery to have an IUD put in to stop my periods completely.

The claims on their website that this drug does not interact with food is untrue. There are complications just like being on the older medications. Find a doctor who knows everything about this drug before agreeing to be on it!"


"I am hearted by the 6 reviews. I have just started on Deplin. I have been on Remeron for two years. I cannot tolerate serotonin type medicines such as Prozac, Lexapro. Remeron worked beautifully at first but effects have slowly worn off and my anxiety and mild depression returned. I pray Deplin will work for me and I can regain my enthusiasm and joy in life. I am happy for those of you who have been helped. Wish me luck."


"I experience a better erection to do the job. My wife said that was much better also. However I cannot afford the price that I saw for the tablet. I was given a sample by by Doctor."


"I got the Mirena January 2016. The insertion wasn't painful (I had a baby in November if that matters) I bled for 3 months straight. And the cramps were very painful I hated it. Sex is super painful for me and I can't do it for long at all. I get headaches almost everyday, and I'm very moody. BUT, this birthcontrol is 100% effective for me considering I use no protection with my boyfriend and he doesn't use the pull out method. And I have gained alot of weight since I got it. Im debating on getting it removed but Im scared of ending up pregnant again so Im sticking with it for now!"


"Okay so I never leave reviews about anything but I absolutely had to for this. This product is the devil himself. I am 30 and this is only my second YI ever but it was the same as the first so I figured I would just use an over the counter to keep from having to sit in the doctors office. WRONG!!!! I am going to the doctor tomorrow to try and get this flushed out of me. I am so swollen it makes no sense. And the burning itch is horrible. I will NEVER use this product again."


"Although I can't take tricyclics, I can take Remeron. I have treatment resistant depression and this is the only anti-depressant I can tolerate (I have been on every type of anti-depressant except Wellbutrin). I don't know why it works so well on me, but it saved my life. My weight had gotten down to 112lbs (I'm 5'7) and I looked like a corpse. I've been on it for a good 8 years or so and it still helps me sleep. The hunger side effect subsided for the most part...a good thing because I gained too much weight back at first, then leveled out at 130lbs. Some of my family have tried it and it knocks them out for the night and next day. Also, they've complained of a "hangover feeling" after they wake up. Many doctors told me it's a good medicine."


"I was put on Zoloft for Major Depression and General Anxiety Disorder after my baby was born about a year ago.  In general, it helped with my mood swings not being so intense, but I also found, over time, that it did not help me in stressful situations and I actually was more aggressive while taking Zoloft.  I have also gained weight on this medication and am now 30lbs over my average weight.  Some other side-effects have been dry mouth, anxiety in the mornings, more agitation, and an increase in anxiety-soothing habits (such as picking, scratching, obsessing over flaws, etc).  After taking Zoloft for a year, I've found that it's not really helping with my depression or especially my anxiety anymore. "


"Finally found a drug which relieved my anxiety. 25mg before bed and it changed my life."


"I started Saxenda on November 3 and today is November 21. So far I lost 17lbs roughly one pound per day. Finally something is working for me. I've tried everything... and I mean everything..."


"Lialda is not for everyone. Talk to your doctor about other options because they're out there! I was prescribed to take Lialda 3xs daily. A couple hours after my third dose I developed the following reaction: fever, nausea, vomiting, chills, rash/hives on my throat and neck. My doctor wanted me to continue talking Lialda but lessen the dose. I did as told, and was bedridden from the side effects. I then found GI Dr and was prescribed Asacol and medicated enemas. No reactions yet! I wonder why Lialda made me sick but I am fine with Asacol?"


"Shift work at plant. Medicine allows me to think at 2 am when my body is shutting down. This medicine is not magic. You will not have magical capabilities to learn and solve the worlds problems. But you may function somewhat normally as a person again. Do feel some euphoria an hour after taking. "


"I've been taking 50 mg of fluvoxamine 8 days.  It works amazing for getting the horrible thoughts I experience daily to leave my mind - I can just turn it off & feel normal & calm. If it  didn't  have so many negative side effects, it would be the perfect medication for me.  I've been experiencing headaches, nausea, lack of motivation, trouble getting up in the morning, lack of concentration, it's completely killed my sex drive & it make me feel almost wired at bed time , before I crash into a drug induced sleep. It also makes me feel constantly hungry, even after a large meal. If I were to keep taking this I think I'd become obese. I rated it a 3 because it worked for what I needed it for. Disappointed it wasn't for me:("


"I've had panic attacks for over 10 years I do not know what triggers them I don't know when they're going to occur but they do on a daily basis. The only medication that I ever had that truly worked was Xanax. This is the true panic disorder medication and should not be taken lightly because your body does become accustomed to it. Example after using it for a year I noticed I needed to increase my medication. I went from 0.25 mg milligrams 2.0 mg milligrams every 4 to 6 hours. Use wisely."


"I was notified last year January 2014 that I had hsv2. I went into such a deep depression that I truly wanted to give up. I begged for second test to confirm it. The doctor refused to test me again and said that she was positive that the test was positive and showed me the papers. I still was in denial for quite some time. The doctor gave me Valtrex 500 milligrams and told me to take one everyday. Needless to say I took it for 30 days and stopped. and never had an outbreak until just a few days ago which confirmed that I was positive. I immediately began taking my medicine. Although it can be very uncomfortable while at work because I do sit down and gets in and out of trucks constantly. This medicine has truly kept my outbreak under control "


"Getting it put in was painful and felt like bad cramps but it wasn't to bad.  I was very informed and had very heavy periods before getting it done.  I got it put in 3/09/16 and now that it's 4/30/16 I haven't stopped spot bleeding or cramping.  I have another appointment on the 8th to cut my strings further."


"Insertion? Awful. I haven't had kids, so of course my pain tolerance is going to be low. The pain doesn't last long - basically, if you want a good hormonal birth control just suck it up. For me, the day I got it I had pretty damn bad cramps, but by the next day they were nonexistent.  About a week before my period I was getting cramps here and there - nothing Tylenol couldn't take care of. Now I just got my period, and I'm going to be honest it is heavy. I do have some cramps with it, but nothing like I have experienced in the past. I have lost weight since getting off the pill. My mood, it's stable for once! Sex is still great, I feel great, boyfriend loves it too! Especially the no hormone part! I highly recommend it."


"I am in a methadone treatment program. I have been going for about 2 years now and it has helped me tremendously. I would recommend to anyone trying to get off opiates and wanting out-patient service."


"Don't even waste your time. This is a waste of time and money. Just go to your doctor. Monistat 3 day DOES NOT WORK!!"


"I had NO relief at all with this medication!  It did not work for me."


"I tried it for a year, I was happy with it (except the first 2 weeks..that sucked). Then this month IDK what happened, I couldn't get it the week I needed it so I put the new one on a week late. Long story short  I had really bad cramps, dizzy, headaches, and a 6 week long period..while on the birth control which is supposed to stop it for 3 weeks at a time..."


"I started titrating and I'm close to reaching max dose of 50mg 2x day. I have experienced severe insomnia, restlessness, and anxiety along with depression.  I also take abilify, Ativan, klonopin, and extended release ambien and I still can't fall asleep. The fibro pain however, is almost gone."


"It works well. I did gain weight with it since it does affect the regions of the brain associated with this but I simply try to stay fit by exercising (which helps my condition as well) and eat healthy foods. Be religious in taking your daily dose, though! The side effects are quite debilitating. This includes being completely useless for anything, sleeping, really weird dreams and the vertigo described (quite accurately) here as an electrical zapping sensation. Any time you move your head or eyes and it feels like a bzzzzt. Also heed the warning of interaction with alcohol. ONE very occasional glass of wine or beer but that's it! Mixing this medicine and any alcohol beyond the occasional drink and you'll get seriously messed up."


"Pristiq is the only anti depressant I've ever tried.
26. Recovering bulimic.
Anxiety/depression.
I put off taking AD's for years and tried everything but...but couldn't stop throwing up my food due to bouts of anxiety and sadness.
Pristiq is working for me and I now have my life back. I am so happy now.
Normal weight and attitude towards myself and food.
This saved me.

Miss a tablet and it causes dizzyness and nausea. Also hot and cold flushes if you go nearly 48hrs without it.
Super lightweight on alchohol and makes hangovers worse.
But I didn't expect this drug to work for me at all. I thought I would live with an ED for the rest of my life and that it would be a struggle.
Not anymore.
But"


"At first it seemed to help a lot. My depression lightened up, I felt motivated to do daily things. Cook clean and hobbies I like. But then I felt suicidal thoughts ran rampant and it was scary. I knew that u had to stop taking this medication so I did."


"I must say that the migraine suffering that I had for years is almost gone.Although today I have slight headaches.My MD prescribed me with a heavy dosage but after checking out from the hospital after an angio,the cardiologist reduced the dosage which prevents me from feeling sleepy."


"I supposedly was to take this for 30 days to stop spotting that I was having after menopause. Took it for 15 days and got a full blown period with cramps and all!"


"This product worked well the first time I used it and got rid of the infection for quite a while.  But it did not work on recurrent infections.  There is no burning or itching after insertion."


"I was prescribed Keflex (Cephalexin) after having surgery to prevent infection, and wanted to add to the list of side effects.  They do not mention acid reflux, which I had every time I took the capsule (4 times a day, for 10 days). Also women need to take a probiotic while on this medication as it decreases natural flora and you can get yeast infection. I learned this the hard way by not eating enough yogurt while on this medication and not taking any probiotics. Just wanted to give a heads up and hopefully spare many women this highly uncomfortable experience."


"I'm a 52 Hispanic male, started lisinopril 10mg seven days ago, blood pressure was 150/80 before starting medicines, last couple of days it's been 111/73 and 110/72 but last night I blacked out and fell to the ground, my wife say's I shook before falling, I told her before passing out that I didn't feel well. Paramedics think I "bottomed out" and to tell my doctor and he'll probably change it from 10mg. It was scary, thought I saw the "white light", I'm losing weight too, maybe too fast. Anyway I'm hoping he'll let me not take them at all and just let me try with my lifestyle changes."


"Thorazine like Stelazine are used in the treatment of schizophrenic and other psychotic disorders. The beneficial effects are better than any side effects. They have been in use for over thirty years ."


"This is making me vomit, giving me migraines, making me more irritable and I have dizziness."


"Very expensive, smells, used this for over a year, no improvement.  Previously, I was told by a VA nurse, my "thick nails are a common problem in older people."  B.S.!  I'm sure the nurse didn't have toenail fungus, she's not living with someone who has toenail fungus, and I noticed she made sure she had on gloves when examining my toenails.  Then I went to a Dermatologist, who loaded me up with all kinds of expensive medicine, none of which worked.  So I am now trying home remedies, open toed shoes and moisture absorbing socks,"


"I have been taking this medication for about 2 weeks. It will be two weeks on 4/13. I started at .6mg and am at 1.2mg currently. I will be upped to 2.4 this week. I am slowly being increased once a week to aid in nausea, so it has not been bad at all so far. I am down a total of 8 pounds. I am not hungry most of the time and cannot finish a full plate of food anymore. I feel fantastic. Definitely worth trying if you are like me and nothing else has worked."


"This is my 2 1/2 week on epiduo. My skin is clearing up a bit. I'm still getting used to the medication so there is slight buring and irritation and dry, flaky skin when I wake up for work. The doctor said it will subside so I'm just waiting it out. A bit uncomfortable but I'm willing to see how it goes."


"I'm on day 8 of Chantix and I've had really no side effects. I am having dreams which I usually don't. I've been smoking in and of since 15  and now 42. I've quit many times in my own sometimes for 3 years and always go back.  I'm really determined this time and I feel like the Chantix is working  because I don't feel like smoking at all.  I  did smoke one today. Today is my quit day and I did smoke the first 7 days. Normally I'm half pack a day smoker. I  think it's worth trying. I feel like its going to work for me."


"This is a scam!  I was sent a trial and now they(?) send me $200.00 per month two one oz. bottles.  There is a charge on my credit card at $200.00 per month!  There is no return address!  There is no invoice. When I first ordered there was no statement saying I was thereafter obligated to continue shipments of this product!  Help, how do I return unopened product and get my money back?  How do I get them to stop?"


"100% awful!!! I got the implant in November 2013. Due to medical complications that resulted in a blood transfusion. My doctors put me on the nexplanon to control the bleeding and restore my iron. I bled just about every day, for two years. It may end for a day or three. Or even a few hours. But never anymore than that. I gained 30 lbs. That I can't seem to get off. I had migranes nearly every day. Bloating, mood swings, couldn't concentrate, no sex drive what so ever. Acne so bad, and discharge that looked so grouse. But clean pap-smears . I had a horrible expirence and wouldn't recommend it to anyone."


"It worked extremely well. "


"I am diagnosed Bipolar I. I take Trileptal and have switched antidepressants several times. I have tried Lexapro, Zoloft and Prozac. All having relative success with my moods, but loss of libido forced me to switch. Pristiq has been the best I have tried. Both my moods and anxiety have improved. Still less of a libido than without any medication, but better than any of the other antidepressants I have taken. I still have a faint libido, but now experience delayed orgasm. However, the quality of my moods has improved so much that I am more apt to accept this side effect."


"I had it inserted on halloween, I started my period ten days later and haven't stopped bleeding since, I got it so I wouldn't get pregnant but I'm not gonna get pregnant if I don't have sex with all this bleeding, I have been bleeding for 13 days."


"After bleeding for almost 8 weeks half the time very heavy with many clots and the other half lighter/less clots Lysteda has helped me. I am 52 and have had two endometrial biopsies and sonohistograms. Results:thick uterine lining, and a small fibroid. After being told the only treatment was a D&C I wanted to try medication as a first line of treatment keeping surgery as the last resort. I was told to take 2 tablets three times a day. By the second dose my flow was much lighter. I am also very anemic now cause I waited too long to pursue the medication. Ladies, try it, don't wait till you're terribly anemic like me.  I also have IBS and was afraid of taking it but so far so good."


"I have been taking this since my heart attack in March 2010.  I have had leg muscle issues (pain) since the beginning.  My doctor seems to think the benefit is greater than the pain.  I disagree and am about to stop it no matter what my doctor says."


"Hi I just got the highest dose of Botox in my bladder 6 days ago it hasn't started working yet! Can anyone say how long till they felt better? I have severe over active bladder no meds worked and I'm so desperate. I'm 38"


"I'm fairly new to this pill. I have had very heavy, painful periods for the past few months so my doctor prescribed me this. I'm only in my first week but very hesitant on staying with it. I started the day of my period. I've had little cramps and light bleeding so that's great and all, but for the past four days I've had the most annoying headache. Not sure if this pain in my head is worth being cramp free."


"I've had the implant for about 18 months and I love it. It stopped my period right away. I did spot for 2 weeks about a year ago but it wasn't nothing I couldn't handle. I haven't had a period since. No mood swings, no headaches. No more babies!!!! I would definitely recommend this. I've seen other reviews and maybe its a different reaction to each individual. But so far no problems for me. I have until  April of 2017 and I will be doing this again."


"very good"


"After using Vivelle patch for a number of years following a complete hysterectomy, my insurance company refused to pay for it at the same level due to the Mylan generic. Within a few weeks of switching to the generic, I began to develop adverse symptoms (insomnia, breathing difficulties, anxiety, constant headache). When I made the connection and switched back to Vivelle, the symptoms subsided. Unfortunately, my insurance company refuses to pay for the brand name at the same level, but this is not the same drug. Now instead of paying $40 for a 3-month supply, my cost is over $150 to obtain the brand name product."


"The relief of pain was almost immediate. I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis as well. The meds localize the pain to a tolerable condition.

I take the pill first thing in the mornings and it leaves me light-headed and fatigued until late afternoon.

I wonder if these symptoms go away after a few months? Will my body get used to it?"


"It is the only medication that does not make me feel dizzy, drunk or crazy. I cannot take the medications used for fibromyalgia so these are all I have."


"I am taking Asacol for the last 4 years and I am still having problem with gas and like full stomach with or without eating or drinking. I am having inflammation in the body and increasing weight and increasing the prolactin (milk) and not focusing well and discomfort."


"I took this medicine for 2 months straight. The condition fluctuated, but for the  most part improved. After 2 months I stopped taking it and symptoms returned.  "


"I have experienced severe pain and muscle spasms in my back for 35 years. Soma along with my narcotic analgesics have been a godsend. Soma helps me relax and sleep and start to work fairly quickly. I take 4 a day."


"This is my fourth month into the Lupron cycle.  I have endometriosis. Have no period, NO PAIN.  I do get some hot flashes and a little weight gain but that is the least of my problems on the shot.  It is the joint pain.  It is the worst in the morning when I get out of bed.  My hands, legs and feet are the worst.  It is not so bad throughout the day. But when I sit for sometime then get up again the pain starts all over."


"Caused severe heart palpitations. Resting heart rate at a constant 155 bpm. After being taken off by doctor did notice it helped amazing with my fibromyalgia pain. I actually forgot for a few weeks about my constant pain. Since being off it pain is back. Wish I didn't have the side effects."


"I've been on acthar gel injections now for 2 days and have 3 more to go. So far I have noticed no difference in anything. My balance is horrible still, I'm dizzy, electric shock down my neck back and arms, and eyes messing up, also still having bladder issues. I've been on iv steroids which did little to help, 2 rounds of steroids in the pill form which finally got my right hand feeling somewhat decent, so this is my 4th try to get back to feeling decent since early to mid August.  Really hoping this does something and it's not permanent damage. I pray to god my kids never get this!"


"I took doxycycline for one month exactly and it honestly did my face wonders! My doctor had it combined with 3%/5% benzamycin top gel, but I managed to finish the gel in 2 weeks or less because my break outs were bad and that would make them go away by the next day. Now the doxycycline has helped A LOT with the break outs not appearing on my face. I'm 20 years old and got the pills prescribed to be taken once a day every day for a month and now I haven't broken out since I started. I'm a girl and whenever I got my period, I would break out pretty badly, but this medication has helped A LOT with that. I will ask for a refill on both medications. Highly recommend to give them both a try."


"After trying this gel I feel much improvement in my knees and hands from arthritis. Even tho the swelling  is not diminished, the pain is improved so that I can sleep. After many months of chiropractic adjustments, I still suffered from periformis pain, and some sciatica as I recovered from Stroke that postponed walking for about 1.5 yrs. after a triple-bypass surgery that left me without the use of my right side.  This gel helped significantly. That is when I became acquainted  with it's uses as a pain reliever. I don't use oral NSAIDS after such surgery, as it's not recommended, but I find no side effects using the salve."


"Pristiq has helped me more than any other antidepressant I've taken in the past. I have experienced no such side effects with Pristiq.  50 ml of Pristiq wasn't helping much, but my dosage was increased to 100 ml and I'm feeling much, much better."


"I took the morning after pill because the day I was having sex was the day I was due for ovulation. Me and my boyfriend had sex however the condom slipped off so to be safe I decided to take the morning after pill roughly 3hrs later . About 3 hours after taking the pill I had clear discharge which I assume was ovulation discharge WHICH FREAKED ME OUT. After that however I didn't have any other symptoms till a week later . I had nausea , nipple stings/ boob pain & fatigue which was all caused from the pill I then got my period 2 days before my due date! So relived for everyone going through the anxiety just relax and listen to your body!"


"no side effects, gentle but efective. Feelings of relief began a few hours after the first pill."


"I've had this implant for about almost 2 years now. When I first got it my periods were constantly on and off but my gynecologist said that was normal. I use to have clear skin and let me tell you, ever since about a year or so ago this stuff has broken me out so bad. I have really bad hormonal acne and it's everywhere all over my face. I have finally found a face wash that is helping with it, but I will continue to struggle with acne (I never have before until now) for the longest time. I want to get it taken out, but then my periods would be awful again. So I guess I just have to deal with the acne."


"Before taking Blisovi 24 Fe, I had taken Lo Loestrin Fe for 3 years and loved it! My insurance company stopped covering Lo Loestrin Fe so I switched to Blisovi 24 Fe. So far this pill has done everything I went on the pill to avoid! I have awful cramps, heavy bleeding, sore breasts, acne, mood swings, etc. I have given my body the suggested amount of time to adjust and my symptoms still have not improved. My experience with this birth control was awful and I am just waiting for my appeal to go through so I can get back on Lo Loestrin Fe again."


"I have IBS with constipation.  My GI started me on Amitiza, which worked great for 3 or 4 months, then I started having constipation again, but without the extreme cramps.  He gave me Linzess 145, which also worked great for a couple months, then not so much.  I had a colonoscopy and upper GI, which all came back normal except for an irritated stomach.  I've been on Linzess 290 now for several months, and it still works, but the way it works affects my daily plans.  It may just work too good.  I have very watery movements about 3 times every morning, and because of this I can't leave the house before noon.  I haven't had a solid stool for months.  Good thing I'm a stay at home mom!  Taking this every other day might make things better."


"I have been diagnosed with Lumbar Spondylosis, Lumbar Canal Stenosis and Lumbar Radiculopathy. Oxycontin helps to keep my back pain down so I can walk. I had surgery on 11-15-2010 and they put two rods in my back but the pain is still there."


"Hi everyone I'm 42 I just had all my teeth pulled on Oct 6 ,2016. I was in severe pain

Felt like my mouth was butchard I took a bottle pain relievers in two days  no help so I get a bottle of Aleve 12 hour let me tell you it stopped my pain I was so relieved so the meds said take two than 1 every 4 hours  so I bought a bottle of extra strength Tylenol and I would take the aleve every four hours and 30 minutes later I would take the 0ne Tylenol extra strength

Works perfect today is my 4 day I feel great thanks Aleve"


"I just finished reading all these reviews about Lexapro, just prior I was reading all the reviews from people trying to get off Lexapro.. Crazy the things people go thru to get on this medication and then just as crazy the things you go thru to get off it. So what to do???? I have been on Lex for approx. 18 months my Dr put me on when there was a lot going on in my life and i told 'I had shopping cart rage" :)  among others issues. I too went thru all the crap in the beginning and felt just stick it out. I did and I survived and things seemed better. fast forward 18 months later I thought my life has calmed down and I wanted off the meds. I also have Ambien and Xanax that I take "as needed" which isn't often. I ask my Dr about getting off"


"All of the reviews that you have heard are true!! Tonight was the first time I used this medication and the burning was unbearable to the
Point where I literally was in tears and had a bag of ice on me. Please listen to the reviews there's a reason why a lot of women have had negative comments on this product."


"I have rheumatoid A and Stage 4 tibia tendon dysfunctional with collapsed ankles and I use voltaran 1% now and it helps with my pain.But. if you can get 3% gel it's way better, my ins paid for it for a yr but then classified it as experimental and wouldn't cover it"


"I was having panic attack and tested myself again and again my heart rate was 145 at resting 30mins after taking 10mg it went back to normal and relaxed me and relieved me of chest pain does work"


"I've been taking Linzess for almost a year now. I didn't have the major side effects that I was told I would get within the first week, but I have been impressed with the results I am getting. I am still not 100% regular and on occasion take miralax and milk of magnesia if I don't go for 2-3 days, but that is better than only going once a week for 20  years. It isn't the cheapest medication but it doesn't break the bank for me either. I would rather pay my monthly rate than have a major surgery due to chronic constipation.."


"I have been on this thing for about 9 months now. The first month was okay but since then, I have bled nonstop. It is awful. It is a great birth control because I haven't been able to have sex due to the constant bleeding."
