"I recommend this drug to anyone who gets choked up, shakes or a racing heart whilst presenting or in general anxious situations. I developed terrible performance anxiety surrounding presentations from the age of about fifteen and it has persisted throughout college. This was a big problem as I am in a business course, we have to present. Before trying proporanolol it got to the point where I physically could not take part in public speaking, I would choke up to the point of not being able to speak and it was humiliating. I was prescribed propranolol by my GP. I take between 10 and 30mg for presentations and interviews (I am 5"8 and a girl) and it completely eliminates the physical symptoms of anxiety. go to your GP and get a prescription!!"


"I have been using this medication for a few weeks. I am of short statue and need to lose 40 lbs.  I like it because I don't get as hungry as I used to.  I have lost 6 lbs so far, and beginning to work out.  I took a break for the holidays, but happy to be on my way to losing these extra lbs.  Now in my 40's, is just harder than it used to be.  I used to be very tiny about 123lbs, but extra weight crept up with the birth of my kids, and when working, stopped and just grabbed anything, fast food, cupcakes.  I think this medicine is a lifesaver, but you have to adjust your eating habits."


"I have been taking Victoza for about a month. Started at 0.6mg for the first two weeks and lost about 3 pounds. Increased to 1.2mg after two weeks and have lost an extra 9 pounds for a total of twelve pounds the first month. My main complaint is a little upset stomach and a little diarrhea. But I can handle it for the sake of weight loss. I seriously cannot eat no where near as much as before.  I used to be able to eat 6 pieces of a papa John's large pizza in one sitting. Now I can barely eat 2 without the crust. I have waaaaayyyy more energy now. I don't understand how some people are having problems with injection site.  I Wash my hands and use alcohol to clean injection site before I give myself the shot."


"It's very important to read the side effects of all the medicines that your Doctor prescribes to you. Sometimes the side effects are a bigger problem then the original problem you were trying to treat. This was true in my case with Furosemide where the blurred vision, loud ringing in the ears and a bright red flaky face rash was unbearable. But that's not to say that everyone will suffer side effects."


"So far I have had a very good experience with the Skyla. I am 21 years old with no children or previous pregnancies. I was totally against IUD's until I didn't really have any other birth control options due to health problems.

I was pretty anxious about insertion, but it felt like mild cramping with burning and a small amount of pressure. After day 3 I couldn't even tell I had it. I've had random spotting but no heavy bleeding. Haven't had my first period yet, but I will update after I have. So far so good!"


"I've been on this medication for about a year. I personally like to take short breaks from the medication and switch to melatonin as I've found that on just none stressful situations such as holidays I prefer to take melatonin over clonidine because I'm not stressed or I don't have to wake up early. I suffer from EXTREME restless legs (my whole body) all day and night it never stops. And extreme insomnia. When I sleep with out medication it normally takes me about 3 hours to fall asleep and I wake up every 10-20 minutes and it takes me about 5-10 minutes to fall back asleep. So obviously I don't get much sleep. But with melatonin and clonidine it has helped manage majority of my night time problems (day time we haven't found a solution"


"I took this pill for about a year.  It was the first birth control pill I had ever taken. My period stopped completely and my mood swings went away.  I did get some pimples but that could be due to anything. I had to stop taking it because of the price, but I recommend it."


"Depo shot def stops you from getting pregnant but it messes up everything else... sex drive mood swings and while on the shot my period wasn't bad but once i stopped it i didn't get my period for 4 months then out the blue started bleeding like crazy.. now my period comes whenever.. i can't even tame it.... i won't bleed for 5 days then out the blue start spotting or bleeding esp after sex which is causing issues with me and my partner because he gets disgusted with the blood, as he should!! So now my partner is afraid to have sex with me because he doest know if m period will come down in the middle of it.. horrible experience,"


"The side effects were not worth any potential weight loss. I spent way too much time on the toilet. I wasn't even having bowel movements. I would sit there and "oil" for hours. I had accidents, and "oiled" myself with this nasty orange oil. I'd rather be a fat cow than have accidents in my pants."


"Best medicine for tension headaches."


"I've been taking Desogen for a year now after not being happy with Lutera. As birth control it works good (i.e. not pregnant). I don't have any breast tenderness like I used to and I have gone up a cup size. I had mild to moderate acne before taking the pill and it has helped it clear up a lot! I only break out right before a period. And my periods are very predictable and only last 3 days (versus the usual 7 I had experienced before). However, when I first started taking it I noticed a prolonged time of spotting but it did eventually go away and I am pleased overall with this pill!"


"I am currently working into my second month on this birth control, and it is my first time on birth control. The first couple of weeks were a struggle for me, I got terrible migraines and  nausea every time I took the pill (I even stopped for a week and the side effects subsided, so it was the pill)! However, the side effects are only present the first week or so. I've never been prone to acne, but lately I've been having bumps and things pop up on my face - nothing too major though in my opinion.
I also, have cramps - every day, but I think it's just because it's adjusting to not having a period during the month. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, my sex drive has increased now and I even have more energy during the day. I'm acually pleased despite the side effects."


"Terrible cramps on the first day of each period, my periods were heavier than ever, I bled through 4 super plus tampons a day. I had bleeding every day of the month, not spotting, BLEEDING. Just finished my 4th month and I'm done taking it. Made me super anxious"


"I used NuvaRing for 2 and a half years, the first 2 years were WONDERFUL, not a single problem; or bleeding or spotting, periods were regular no mood swings or acne no depression or loss of sex drive, I gained maybe 5-10 lbs but to be honest I don't eat very healthy. Then shortly after the 2 year mark I had 1 serious problem, You see if you read the directions the Nuvaring is supposed be kept in a refrigerator, I never did that. And after 2 years I did it ONCE and I suffered the most severe vaginal burning. I stopped taking it after that even though my doctors said it was unlikely the source, Never had the problem again. It's been 2 and a half years later and 1 baby since and I think I may try it again- UN-REFRIGERATED!"


"After 3 doses of 875mg Augmentin for Ear infection had severe abdominal cramping and diarrhea...no relief for the ear...had to call Dr fro different Rx"


"I went they 2 years of hell with lower back pain it ruined my life for those 2 years seemingly endless pain and suffering .  Then my doctor prescribed Celebrex, which stopped the pain dead in its tracks"


"I just started on Cymbalta for excruciating nerve pain behind my right ear.  This nerve pain is due to nerve damage from Shingles, PHN.  I have to say that I am quite happy with the results so far.  It seemed to zap the pain in about an hour from taking my first one.  It seems to wear off by the next morning so I am going to try to up it to twice a day, hopefully I will not have trouble sleeping."


"I am almost 13 years old. When I was pretty young, I had not a HINT of a sweating problem. Then, once I got a little older, it all started. I was extremely embarrassed to shake peoples hands, and even more embarrassed when my friends asked me "Why are your hands so wet?" and I would always lie and say "Oh, I just washed them." I would always wear a jacket to cover my hands, and I would constantly be wiping my hands. I finally convinced my mom to take me to a doctor, and they prescribed Hypercare. Although at some points in the day my fingertips would sweat, the problem is almost COMPLETELY gone. Thanks, Hypercare, you saved me.  "


"I've been taking this medication for approximately 5 months.  It lifted me out of a severe depression.  Had been on Effexor x 5 years.  The side effects for me are extreme itching and sexual side effects."


"I have a nine year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of six. We tried Focalin first and it made him extremely weepy. A month later we tried Vyvanse and had a good experience with it for three years. There was a major rebound effect but we felt lucky to have some relief from symptoms for the hours that we did and dealt with the negatives. We moved from CA to a high altitude state and his meds went haywire. We tried Strattera for two months and he had a stable mood but zero focus. We started Concerta two weeks ago and are extremely happy. We aren't dealing with an afternoon rebound!!!! He is pleasant. He can focus. We are hopeful that the good will continue. I suggest trying this drug or another one if you aren't 100% satisfied."


"When this generic was added to my large list of drugs (including one other anti depressant) I became the most mellow person in the world.  Nothing upsets me.  Everything moves along nicely.  Feel a little disassociated with the world actually.  BUT I QUIT SMOKING!  So now I won't let them take it away."


"I have been on Zoloft for 4 months . I am now at 125mg per day.  Depression has slighly improved but not much effect on anxiety and panic attack.  Not sleeping better I am dealing with chronic pain and professional burn out.  I am thinking about swithching to Pristiq but I am afraid of side effects. I am amazed with the no side effects of Zoloft."


"Implanon has been a horrible experience for me. The only reason I have not had it removed is because I already have 3 children, all pretty close together and I'm not in any hurry to have another one. I got IMPLANON put in in December of 2010. The initial insertion was easy. Now I have not had a period since, and even when I do it is very minimal. I have gained 30 pounds on it and have horrible mood swings, exhaustion and fatigue. "


"This is my first experience with birth control and I was so worried because of all the negative reviews but I have had only a positive experience. My favorite thing is that my acne is gone! I haven't gained any weight or experienced any changes in my mood. My one complaint is that my periods are not yet regular. This is my third month so I expect them to get more regular after this month and I'm not worried!"


"Took 1 dose and landed in the hospital with severe pain."


"I got my implant April of 2016 I have to tell you that even though I don't have headaches or cramps I have to tell you that my mood swings have been all over the place I don't like being up and down constantly depressed crying angry paranoid anxious. I know my body well enough that I'm not that way only when I am on my period due to hormones. Not to mention that since I have had the implant when I get my period it is so long it's annoying - I have it for months on end I am currently on it for a month and week now. Every time I get it the times that it stops are different there was times where it would be for 2 weeks then stop for a week then come back and stop after 2 months then start back up again for 3 months its bad will be taking it out"


"I'm 23 yrs old I started taking this birth control for pain management for my endometriosis on top of my 2nd lupron injections and it's totally eliminated the menopausal hot flashes which is a god send! I was very scared reading the reviews on this birth control before taking it thinking it was going to make my fibromyalgia flare up as well but not so many changes except for breast tenderness.  I'm very happy taking this birth control so far!"


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


"I quickly grew tired of using the Nuvaring and decided an IUD was the best decision because of its effectiveness. However, I made the mistake of reading every IUD insertion review and got extremely anxious. Each person has their own experience and pain tolerance! With that being said, the insertion was not the most pleasant experience (2 bad cramps and a heat flash) but it only took 3-5 minutes. I spent the remainder of the day resting with a heating pad and taking Midol while working from home. There is an increase of bleeding/spotting and I do experience headaches but I am told this will pass with time. My advice is to research the possible side effects and then be committed to whichever decision you make. IMO the 1st month is the worst."


"I have been on Trulicity for 5 weeks, lost 6 pounds w/o exercise. No major complaints other than sharp pains in stomach area, almost like pregnancy contractions....not cool."


"IT WORKS! So without a doubt I had unprotected sex on my ovulation day. Took Plan B within 12 hours. Felt immense nausea at first, then intense cramps followed. My mood was insanely erratic and I underwent quite a bit of depression.  Typical for an increase in hormones. I have not started bleeding yet, as I am 3 days away from menstruation, however, I did take a First Response just now, with a negative response. So I am hoping and believe I should be okay.  I recommend it, if you're not ready. You know you. Decide what's BEST for YOU. People will throw stones living in glass houses. At the end of the day, they don't live with your choice! Thank you Plan B for another option. Thank you Plan B for granting me a CHOICE."


"Unfortunately this medication did absolutely nothing to help me. I spent 4 days in misery just waiting for it to "kick in"... Went back to Imodium Multi-Symptom & MUCH better already. Hope somebody else has better luck with this drug. Luckily my doc had a ton of samples so I didn't have to pay for it."


"It has helped me to get out of the worst depressive episode of my life (1.5 years), but I only sleep a few hours a night, my arms and shoulders feel like lead weights, and I tend to have racing thoughts. I am still trying to figure out whether to stay on it or not."


"It works, but makes you really tired"


"Had pain in my lower left quadrant. Thought maybe had a partial blockage. On third day went to the ER, get blood work done, get X-ray, find nothing, blood work came back with elevated White blood cell count. Doc orders CT scan turns out I have Acute Diverticulitis (I'm 30).

The drugs (Cipro and Flagyl) work, pain subsided and i can imagine they're fighting the infection as I write this, but man, the side effects are pretty terrible. Nausea, dizziness, upset stomach, metal taste in mouth, and feeling crappy overall from the side effects. I'm on day 3, like most reviews on here, it seems like the make or break moment. the pills are progressively harder to ingest because i dread the side effects. BUT I gotta let the meds run course"


"I've taken a lot of medications. I was prescribed latuda and it wasnt a very good experience. I couldn't even sit down to watch a movie without feeling jittery and needing to be on the go. When it was bed time my legs were so restless I couldn't sleep. I would lay in bed kicking my legs non stop. I'll never take this again."


"The moment I inserted the the first dose of Monistat Day 3, on the first night, it was brutal and so was the second. I don't believe I will proceed with Day 3. I would probably have to put myself under an  anaesthetic immediately after I insert it. The feeling is despicable."


"My son is 12 and uses Vyvanse 50mg. I have seen a big difference in his behavior and attitude. We tried quite a few other ADHD prescriptions but this one is a miracle."


"I was given this medicine for morning sickness. I took only 2mg in the morning, and had no nausea/vomitting for 24 hours.  The only side effect was that it made my lips chapped."


"I have been using Soolantra for 6 days now. I have read the reviews and I am trying to hang in there but my outbreak is horrible. Don’t want to leave the house. I am experiencing burning, itching and tingling. My cheeks have bumps all over them with pustules and extreme dryness. It is sore to touch. I am trying to suck it up hoping that the reviews I have read are true and it will get better? Has anyone gone through this? I had mild rosacea so this horrible."


"I got the implant at the beginning of June and it's now October. After I got it I had a period that lasted three days, stopped for two days, and came back for another three. Since then I haven't had a period or spotted at all. At first I felt like I had no sex drive at all, which I didn't know was a side effect, but now my sex drive is back. The only side effect I have really noticed is I get more acne, but I'd rather have acne than a baby!"


"A sudden fit of nonstop coughing landed me at doctor's office.  Nothing over the counter helped.  I felt like my ribs were cracked and pain was awful.  My Dr prescribed Tessalon Perles 100 MG. No more cough and no side effects.  I am back to normal.  "


"Suprep works very well. I read prior users' comments before I started, which also helped.  So, on the Monday before the Friday exam, I started eating easier to digest foods and drinking sports drinks (for electrolytes).  On Thursday morning about 2am, I started my "food" routine, alternating chicken broth (cooked from boiled fresh chicken, carrots, celery, onions, pepper and purchased broth), Propel, sugar free jello (from the refrigerated grocery section), lemon-ice bars and green tea with lemon juice and honey.
I didn't have trouble drinking the Suprep directly, but did try to distract myself with minor household tasks as I was taking sips. I used Cetophil with tissue for wipes and added ointment when needed.Tried to rest between doses"


"So I love how I feel I am on this stuff. Little background info I am bipolar and suffering post partum from having my first daughter three months ago..two things I've noticed I don't cry as much however I itch constantly I mean like a crack.head itching. Also having headaches and crazy dreams ( snakes spiders) but the post partum is mostly gone. I still feel however no weight loss and that is still a major depression symptom for me and probably my biggest. I make myself sick in the mirror when I'm naked and I like the way it's taken away the post partum but still no self esteem. What do I do? Also i.would love to chat or if there is a group I can look into about this please let me know I am on my second week of 10.MG thank you!"


"I went for colonoscopy and Doctor told me I needed endoscopy as well. In two weeks I've got phone call that I have H Pylori infection in my stomach and prescribed Pylera. I was taking 12 tablets a day and 1 tablet of Protonix for 10 days and now I feel much worse than before. Before I was healthy and now I am sick to my stomach."


"I have had over 300 kidney stones and am having a nephrectomy of the right kidney next week.  IV Dilaudid is the only pain medication I can find that gives me any relief.  I have all but stopped taking the pills for small stones and just tough those out.  I'm 31 and have been passing stones weekly for 14 years. If it was not for Dilaudid I would've been in extreme pain."


"I can not take this medicine.  About 45 minutes after taking it I started to feel bad.  Felt like I had the flu.  Head sort of hurt & felt nauseous.  About 3 hrs after taking the first dose I started vomiting.   Have felt sick & drained all day.  Will not be taking day 2 or anymore of this medicine."


"On my 5th week so just starting 3.0, felt a bit of nausea but nothing huge. I had awful burping which included acid egg taste.  I've used lots of pepto that happened a few times.  I've lost 10 pounds but really haven't  stuck to any diet plan - I am just not hungry.  I eat and become full very fast.  I feel I have just started to realize what my full feels like and really pay attention to full button. I'm on vacation for three weeks and I hope to eat better and walk due to my hectic schedule I haven't been able to dedicate myself to this...I do see how it can work if you do what you are suppose to. I'm 5"10 was 288lb...female...will keep updating...Good luck !!"


"I'm in 9th grade, I've had hyperhidrosis since I was in 5th grade. My doctor gave me this and I tried it for 2 months now and it DOES NOT work for me. I was really disappointed.I don't know what to do."


"I had so many problems walking holding stuff in my hand and I start taking this drug that I have never heard of, I started seeing a new doctor that's how I learned about it. It has helped me so much that I get teary eyed just thinking about it. The doctor that I am seeing now may have saved my life."


"Got Nexplanon in February 2015 for irregular periods. I have now gotten my period for the third time in 6 weeks. No thanks. Will probably be looking at getting it removed."


"I was previously on Microgestin FE 1/20 for close to 3 years. This worked well after a period of adjustment and never had any bad side effects, just a little weight gain. Around April/ May of last year, I went to get my refill and noticed that the packaging changed and I started getting cystic acne around my chin. I finally switched over to Sprintec around mid December. Everything was fine aside from the general nausea that went away after a few weeks. My acne flares got less frequent and MUCH smaller so that worked well after about 2 months on it. But I started to see more and more hair loss coinciding with when I started this medication and it's gotten worse. I have decided to stop it after today. Hoping this helps!"


"I been on Cymbalta for 9 years this has been a miracle for me. It helps with anxiety, my chronic pain, my fibromyalgia, my bipolar now just find something to help with anger I'd be perfect. The only side effect I have had is nightmares if I forget to take it that's it. I love my medicine."


"I originally got prescribed the Nuvaring because I had horrible menstrual problems but I also now use it as actual birth control as well. It was strange to me at first because of the insertion, but now it's easier and nothing new. The only thing I'd have to say that I didn't like at first with this birth control was the nausea, dizziness and mood swing I had within the first (about) three months. I still have mood swings sometimes, but I think it's just an age thing. I also have not gained any unwanted weight from using this contraceptive, which is a huge thing for me. Overall, I'd have to say I really like this birth control and would recommend it to anyone that can handle it."


"I've been suffering really bad migraines for the last 4 r 5 wks. At first i bought over the counter tabs like anadin extra paracetamol ect. Altho these meds worked eventualy i would still go between 20/40mins in excruciating pain then id get a few hours of relief then it would start al over again it was very exhaustin an so painful. Eventualy I went to the doc he prescrided naproxen these tablets didnt even touch the pain after a few days I resorted back to over the counter meds. Then I went back to the doctor he prescrided sumatripton tabs yesterday. I took my first tab early this morn when I felt the pain. The relief was amazing. It took the edge of the pain strait away and was barable less than 10mins the pain was gone. Best relief ever"


"I was diagnosed with Crohn's at 41 and have been taking this medication since then (approximately 2 years). It has worked perfectly for me and have had no flare ups or side effects. I currently take 2 tablets 3 x a day. I now have my life back."


"I had severe anxiety, agoraphobia. I am on Xanax for about 3-4 month started with 0.25mg morning and 0.25mg at night and now on 0.50mg two times a day and feel great. No panic and my life is much easy. The world is more familiar and I can go anywhere. It's like I have wings now. I will try to leave the medication in future but for now I accept my situation because I like the feeling of living.

As an anxious I was afraid of death same as I was afraid of life. Now, I LIVE."


"I took this to replace Wellbutrin, which didn't seem to work. This medication seems to make me very easily agitated not to mention the fatigue."


"I have been taking VIBERZI for a little over 30 days and it has all but eliminated my issues with chronic diarrhea that have had for forty years. The first week I had some stomach bloating but that quickly subsided. I can actually go places and not constantly trying to figure out where the closest restroom is. It is literally changing my life."


"I can't praise this drug highly enough. At the age of 59, I'm finally leading a level life - without quiting jobs in a rage, moving my family 1,400 miles to a house I'd never seen. Due to troubles with sleeping, I also take Seroquel."


"I started on Saxenda as a last resort in late February. I'm 26, 5'6 and weighed 217 when I first started my weight loss journey. I've lost inches on my own by working out every single day and watching what I eat, but the pounds were staying the same. I've taken Phenteramine, HCG shots, and so many different weight loss pills only to be disappointed and not successful. It's been almost a month since I started Saxenda and I'm down to 196 lbs. I'm never hungry, and even though I have nausea and fatigue, I'm not complaining. I plan on staying on this until I lose my goal of 70 pounds. With my insurance alone the medication was going to be $100, but with the coupon card on mysaxendacard.com I got it for $30 for 5 pins!"


"Xanax 1mg t.i.d. has helped me plenty with my depression and panic disorder that said I find it as the best benzodiazepine for my condition !"


"I've had my birth control in for almost 2 and a half years now and finally made an appointment to get it out next week. I was in denial that the zero sex drive, long lasting periods, mood swings, depression and 45 pound weigh gain was because of that. Don't get me wrong, it does its job. Bc for me I had no erge to have sex so there was no way for me to get pregnant. Hoping to see a turn around in my life after the removal and hopeful to patch my relationships effected by my raging hormones ."


"I have been taking this BC for almost 4 years now. I am about 19, 5'3 and 115 pounds. I was put on these pills because I would have a really heavy and painful period, so not having my period is really awesome. However, once I started taking these pills, my bra cup size shot up. Granted, I was 14 when I started taking the pills, but I was about a B cup then I was a DD cup within a year. Also, the first three years I never experienced ANY acne. Except for the occasional pimple during exams or when I ate badly, I never broke out. Now, my face breaks out 24/7, all over and heals about a week before my next period, then the cycle starts all over again. These were great for a couple years, but maybe it's time for something new."


"I used to take this pill for painful periods and I quit for awhile. Now I went back on it and I've been bleeding for five weeks straight."


"I first started taking this when I was 18. After taking it for over a year and still not having my periods regulated I decided to get off of it. I got on it again a year and a half ago (I'm 21 now) and I'm still not pleased with it. If I forget to take a pill one day I'll spot for up to a week. My periods are really light every 3 months, but they can last up to 2 weeks. I've gained 10 lbs while being on it. I'm just finishing up my last pack and am getting back on Yaz."


"Just slightly more effective than ibuprofen and vicodin but still not for moderately severe to severe pain."


"This is the best medicine I've ever tried. It's very smooth and easy on body with least side effect."


"I'm 20 years old and had always experienced severe cramps and bleeding for as long as I've had my period. I also suffered from severe acne.

Since I've started Loestrin 24, I noticed dramatic changes in every aspect!
-My periods are lighter (1-2 days)
-MY SKIN IS FLAWLESS
-I lost about 7 lbs!
-Overall I feel my hormones regulated and less moody

Loestrin 24 really turned my life around and I couldn't be happier! I hope you all have the same experience with it."


"Uroxatral helped my benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms, but it made me extremely tired."


"While the side effects given makes a nervous-making read, I've been lucky in having no noticeable side effects.  On day 9 of 10.  Had gone to ER, felt like I was drowning, could not breathe well, not enough oxygen.  They put me on an inhaler to dilate bronchia, started me on Avelox, I got an Albuterol inhaler next morning.  Started feeling much better day 2.  Had a bit of coughing now and then clearing phlegm.  Only concern is how they tell pneumonia is actually gone, apart from symptom relief."


"I've been on this pill since I was 16 and now I'm 21. I take this pill as a continuous birth control and never get my period. I have nothing bad to say about this pill and will continue to take it as long as needed. It's great!"


"I just started taking Victoza last Wednesday.  So far, no nausea or other side effects.  My blood sugars have been great - as low as 88 in the morning, which is such a HUGE difference for me.  I up my dose on Thursday to 1.2, so we'll see then.  I haven't noticed any weight loss yet."


"I got the implant on August 2015 and ever since then I have been bleeding non stop!  I also have a very low sex drive which makes me want to get it removed. I've never been a moody person but I think this birth control is messing with my emotions. I know I've only had it for going on 3 weeks now but if it doesn't change I'm going to have it taken out and switch to something else."


"I just wanted to share this in case there are any apprehensive people worried about having to get an injection. This is only my first week on Enbrel, but I feel like I have had some loosening of my joints and a reduction in pain. What I really wanted to share was that the injection is not nearly as scary as it sounds and does not cause a lot of pain. I was so scared to get a shot because of the comments online but my boyfriend finally injected my thigh with the sure click auto injector. IT'S NOT THAT BAD! I did it on my upper thigh and I barely felt any pain at all, I really built it up in my head! The side effects (nausea, diarrhea) are worse than the injection but not so severe. If you are new don't waste your time worrying and good luck!"


"Got skyla about 9 months ago after the birth of my second child. Insertion was miserable! Cramping was the worst! I spotted for about 6 weeks after it was inserted. Have had 1 "period" since. Im constantly cramping and in pain. The uncomfortable feeling had never gone away. So far not pregnant, consider that a win"


"Trazodone 50mg tablets has been wonderful to help my insomnia. I had been prescribed Ambien: It caused me to sleep walk.
Trazodone gives me 7-8 hours sleep without any problems. I do not used it every night only when I have very difficult times sleeping. It works wonders for me."


"I am 24 and my boyfriend and I had a little crazy weekend. I took plan B on third day. One week and 1 day later I have my period. Thank Goodness."


"Once it was introduced into my pump my legs felt as though they were on fire this was corrected with bynedryel. The following effects were an intolerance to light that caused migraines also the lack of bowel control and the loss of hearing in my right ear and visual problems that left me unable to drive.I had to go to my doctor and insist that the prialt be removed. He resisted but I prevailed. I have never been that sick with multiple illnesses in my life.  I have had 3 spinal bone fusions and 2 thumb reconstructions with right and left shoulder operations also a right knee operation and countless spinal injections and on and on. Because of my doctors reluctance to extract the prialt. I called the manufacturer of prialt who stopped it instantly."


"I was taking antibiotics to help with H.Pylori for 14 days and this magic pill worked wonders!!! Took every 8 hours and was able to take my antibiotics. It's the best!! P.S I took the sublingual."


"I love this birth control! I am usually really moody for some reason and starting this I am constantly happy and less stressed for some reason, I had a very heavy first period but all is well now. Highly recommend"


"My right knee has no cartilage left and cortisone shots were tried with little relief. Supartz was suggested and other than having to wait a month for insurance approval, the outcome has been positive. I just finished the third shot and no more sleeping with right knee elevated, I look forward to walking our neighborhood again!"


"I just wanted to post my experience with lexapro. I have been on it for about four weeks and it has changed my life for the best. Before I got prescribed this medicine I was going to bed crying and waking up crying. Couldn't keep up with my Mother duties cause I was scared I was going to die and was having horrible panic attacks. I have not had any panic attacks since the end of the first week and I have not had the nausea feeling since week three, so I am doing way better. Didn't really have any other side effects from the medicine. I can't wait to I see my doctor so I can thank her for saving me from anxiety and depression."


"Started Benicar HCT 20/12.5 Sunday morning, Monday evening Blood Pressure was up, took second tablet that evening. Then took 1 morning and 1 evening. Friday morning woke up and walked downstairs with no aches or pains (morning walk has been painful for last 20 years). I hope this trend continues. Peeing every 90 mins, otherwise no side effects."


"Very helpful for symptoms of arthritis and fibromyalgia. This replaced a very strong pain drug I had been taking (about 8 pills a day) to 2 tablets each day and is doing a much better job I believe.  "


"I use to read these reviews all the time while trying to figure out a med that would work for me. I promised myself I would write a review if I ever found one that was working for me. I have been diagnosed with treatment resistant clinical depression, anxiety and panic disorder. I have been hospitalized twice in the past two years. It has made my life a living hell. After 15 ECT treatments and 150mg of amitriptyline I am finally doing much better. My point to writing this is please don't ever give up!"


"I was prescribed Concerta to offset the drowsiness from the Abilify I take in conjunction with Lexapro. I have suffered from major depression since I was about 19 and have been on every SSRI on the market as well as Wellbutrin to treat my depression, and nothing has helped me more than Concerta. I only take 18mg twice a day (I'm 34) and while the anti-depressants make me lethargic and were causing my work to suffer, the Concerta has been a real lifesaver. I've only been on it a few months and haven't really suffered from any negative side effects (haven't really lost any weight yet), and am planning on discussing discontinuing the Lexapro and Abilify with my psychiatrist since the Concerta has had such a positive impact on my depression."


"If anything my sugar levels have increased while on this med."


"I took Provigil for the first time yesterday and for the first time in as long as I can remember I felt hopeful. My tremors decreased and I had energy for the first time in years. I am so happy and hope never to stop taking it. Magical little pill."


"So I am 19 years old it is August (a month after my birthday) so I have been on depo for there years exactly. My first couple weeks I had nausea and headaches. After my third shot I had no menstrual cycle anymore. I will say for this form of birth control is awesome. I was with a guy for a long time and never used a condom and here I am three years later and never had a pregnancy scare. So yes as birth control it works perfectly. However, throughout the years I still had some mild cramps and horrid mood swings and my right knee seemed to gradually get worse. Pains that came and went more when it rained. I am now in the middle of getting depo provera out of my system and I must say I feel like I am dying. Horrible mood swings nausea headache"


"I recently had hip surgery and was in lots of pain after the operation. I tried Ibuprofen and  Voltaren with little relief. My doctor called in a script for Feldene 20 mg twice a day for me. It helped so much with the pain bringing it to a manageable level but caused the most severe constipation. So after about 5 days I switched back to Voltaren and the constipation eased up and thankfully the pain was better too."


"I've been on Cymbalta for about 8 months now. I never had major side effects to begin with but the last 3 months I've been experiencing nightmares or crazy dreams, I'm tired a lot, I sweat at night, I feel as if I'm in one mood and the only major emotion I get is anger. It's hard to laugh at things that I used to and I can't cry anymore. Sometimes I just want to feel frustrated when I know I should, and sad, but I feel stuck and emotionless. I don't think Cymbalta has helped me. I think the only progress I've made with my anxiety, OCD, and depression has been on my own."


"I took one Dulcolax tablet at 9 pm. By 1 am, I was in severe gastric pain. The gastrointestinal cramping was very mild. I was sweating profusely, and in agony.  This side effect for me will stop me from ever taking it again for ANY reason.  The Excruciating pain almost landed me in the ER.  Has to take 4 Pepsid complete to get some relief."


"I have been prescribed methadone for a few years because of opiate addiction caused after I had a kidney removed 10 years ago. This drug has absolutely given me my life back, but i do find this harder to come off than the actual painkillers in the first place."


"I have been taking Abilify for 10 yrs.I started when I was 16 yrsold after mental breakdown &going to be 26 yrsold on Oct. I never went over 15 mg. I'm currently taking 2.5 mg & I find it quite effective. I did gain some weight 15lb at the beginning but your mental health is very important. If you want to keep healthy and not gain weight while taking Abilify just eat healthy and hit the gym. I'm 5'6, have a curvy/slim toned body and I take Abilify and I feel great with my body. I'm 145lbs with muscle weight and I'm quite happy, im planning on some abs, thus Abilify hasn't stopped me. It's all in your head. Honestly this medication works well for me & I don't think its the major reason for weight gain. Always consult with your physiatrist"


"Wonderful. Took 20 mg for the first time and erection was hard rock.   Though I was low on food and alcohol during this time. It really works for me though, I have been diabetic for the last 14 years and am 49 yr old"


"Gained 15+ lbs in 3 months - not even sure how much weight I gained due to the constant water weight and bloating I've had. I dropped the pill mid cycle because I was so frustrated, hoping to go back to my normal weight in 2 months.

No other symptoms for me."


"Dialysis patient. Help put me to sleep."


"I have had kidney stones for 2 years now off and on. I was prescribed Flomax for the first round. I passed the stone. This round the medicine has made me 'faint' have very low blood pressure and just feel like I have the flu. I am 25 year old Female."


"I've had Implanon for almost a year now. I supposedly had endometriosis, and PCOS. It was a little sore after the implant, but I don't bleed, (I never did) I just spot for about a day a month, if that. LOVE IT!! The only side effect is the implant gets sore around the time of the month, so I know when the spotting is coming. This is a MIRACLE treatment, and I don't have to worry about anything. My sex life is the same, I don't have any dryness or anything, and I have NO ring to worry about. ;) I love it! I'm so glad I have it, and I'll be getting another in two years!"


"I have been on this medication since the study for it started.  Medicaid covers it totally because I am on Disabilty.  I was taking three 4mg pills.  I now take 12mg pills.  But in my experience it turns me into a zombie so take it only after I am in bed. 1-2 hours after I take my other meds or I get goofy as hell and my partner says I slur like a very drunk person.  But say I am asleep at midnight.  If I wake up before 11:00 am I will be groggy for about 2 hours unless I have breakfast."


"I am on my fourth week of taking Aviane and the past 3 weeks have been miserable. The first week had little side effects, but my mood swings have been getting progressively worse throughout this month. In the past week I have started noticing extreme anxiety and cramping (even though I'm not on my period). Now that I am PMSing as well, I cannot stop eating and I feel extremely bloated all the time. Also, my breasts have enlarged but they feel as if they are covered in bruises. I am going to give this pill one more trial month, but so far it has not been good."


"Worst birth control ever!!! First off, my mood swings and depression were crazy. Couldn't even get out of bed half the time. Then my face neck chest arms and back got covered in acne.. to top it off, it completely threw my period out of whack. And I took it at the same time everyday! I was on pill for 3 months.. needless to say.. I am done with this one! TRASH!!!!!!!!!"


"After a little over two months on Pristiq, I have lost a significant amount of weight - something I really needed to do.  I am taking the recommended dose and I haven't felt this productive in years."


"My little boys are 9 and 5 and have been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome and ADHD. I was at the end of my rope with everything.I didnt believe that anything would help.My 9 year old started taking Intuniv in July( 6 months ago) and it took about a month to adjust to it but so far it has work like a miracle drug.His ticks have decreased by about 90 percent.His behavior is so much better.His outlook on like has changed for the better. I, like most mothers,want the best for my boys.I was against all meds untill intuniv..My 5 year old is just starting out with it. I pray that it works great on him just like it did for my 9 year old. I am proud of my boys and will not ever allow their disability to control their life."


"I am pain free for the first time since I can remember. I have had no side effects although I have been diagnosed with multiple forms of dysautonomia so I am used to my body not making sense! I used to get migraines everyday at 3 am, terrible neck and shoulder pain, burning and tingling in my feet, hands and scalp along with the general other pains associated with fibromaylgia. I am pleased to say that Savella has taken this away by 80%! I will take it!"


"I took this medication because I have an ear infection and a swollen gland that's causing a sore throat. These pills are HUGE. I took two pills yesterday 12 hours apart and went to bed at 8 PM. I woke up 3 hours later and started vomiting... A lot. After I had calmed down a bit I went to lay down... And I had to run back to the bathroom to vomit again. I kept feeling sick but I had nothing left and the second time there was blood. Not worth it at all."


"i have been struggling with chronic necrotic pancreatitis. They had tried everything and I still could not function. They switched me to oxycodone 3 days ago. It was a miracle! I have very little pain and feel normal! I am so excited to be able to do things with my kids again!"


"I started Abilify because my bipolar disorder drug cocktail became less effective. Abilify was new on the market. It lifted my mood considerably, I felt great. And without any bad side effects. I thought.  After about 6 weeks I developed hand tremor. It got worse. My psychopharmacologist sent me to a neurologist who began treating me for a kind of tremor that's inherited. He did not believe it was due to Abilify- which now has a side effect listed as "muscle movements that could become permanent." Naturally I stopped taking Abilify. So either the neurologist is right, and Abilify activated the tremor or I developed the permanent muscle movement side effect. Either way, I now have to take an anti-tremor drug."


"I tried the oral rinse chlorhexidine because I was going in for a first appointment with my (now) periodontist.  I wanted to look healthy, and not have as many problems with aging, since I'm getting up to retirement age.  The rinse made me feel like I was doing something good for myself.  I didn't see any results at first but after several treatments my gums and tongue turned pinker and a cracked tooth that was causing pain fell out on its own."


"I have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, foraminal stenosis, bulging discs, nerve damage in both hands, both knees "going out" and bursitis in both hips and I'm only 28 years old. I have been on Lortabs 10/500 and Oxycodone 20mg for years, but they never lasted long enough for my chronic pain. So my doctor tried me on MS Contin 100mg 2 x daily and then Lortab 10/325 for breakthrough pain. WOW, what a difference that was, my pain was more under controlled and I was getting more sleep and was able to do some of the things I used to enjoy."


"I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Soon after I had a cold and started taking Mucinex to clear out my sinuses. Not only did my sinuses feel good but I noticed that in general I felt amazing. My body just didn't hurt like it had been hurting for the past few months. So I got online and typed in Mucinex... low and behold the first thing that popped up was using mucinex as a treatment for fibromyalgia ... crazy. I had no idea... so for those of you speculating that it may be a placebo effect ..believe me I felt the difference without knowing that others have used it as a therapy.... it works wonders!"


"I was an addict for 10 years and Suboxone saved my life period, and my families lives. Totally clean for over 3 years its a miracle. It's impossible to quit without it its easy to quit with it. I was as bad as it gets. If you are thinking of getting on Suboxone do it. Just do it life is so good when you are not forced to chase pills."


"I used to spend hours searching the web for some sort of cure for my obsessive thoughts. I was looking for answers and had fear of depression and anxiety. I have been taking this medication two months and I can honestly see an improvement in the person I am becoming. I am more patient for sure. I still have minimal anxiety but I am able to think through it without sitting in my bed and crying. I am someone who is terrified of ALL medication but I knew I had to do something for myself. At age(20) This has been such a positive experience and I plan on moving up my dose to see more improvements. I was in CBT for a year prior to this medication but found myself actually becoming worse. STAY OFF GOOGLE AND TAKE IT."


"I have hypothyrodism... still have thyroid. I quit taking Levoxyl for about 3 months. Felt good, in fact I had energy and did not have aches and pains or brain fogs. Was on 100 mg before, recently doctor put me back on 88 mg within a few hours the aches and pains were back and swelling of joints, muscle aches I know it may take a while for the medicine to balance out but surely there must be something better for those of us who suffer with these side effects, tired of the pain and tired of being tired."


"It's been 4 months since I have Nexplannon inserted. I don't remember when was the last time I had my period.
The only problem with this birth control is that I'm so moody and I sweat for no reason I hate it. My husband jokes about my moods sometimes , he says I'm going crazy. I don't know what to do to help my mood."


"I use Azo-Standard whenever I have issues with antibiotics or other medications that leave me with a feeling of frequency and/or generalized discomfort. Azo-Standard has always helped greatly, especially at night or anytime I have to sit for long periods which can usually lead to pain and discomfort."


"Used for birth control and period issues- very unhappy

Worked good for preventing pregnancy, along with terrible side effects

Hard time sleeping( if any)

Nightmares

ANXIETY

Depression

The list goes on, everybody is different I recommend trying this pill to see if it's for you, it just wasn't for me. Switching back to my old birth control"


"I put on 40kg over the course of 12 years of this medication but I don't have migraines. The generic ones don't work at all except Derralin (can no longer get inderral in Australia) I would recommend anyone with life altering migraines to try it for 3 months. It just might be the cure you are waiting for."


"I ate right before as instructed but still got sick. I eat 5-6 small meals a day and everything went through me (diarrhea) for 1.5-2days. I also experienced nausea and fatigue. Eat and drink lots of fluids, especially water. Diet ginger ale really helped to settle my stomach. I also recommend taking a probiotic or eating dairy products to reintroduce good bacteria since the antibiotic will kill the good bacteria in your gut."


"Have been taking an 8mg dose pre-bedtime for the past 5 days. Symptoms of weak flow and seemingly incomplete voiding improved markedly within 24 hours. Only, though significant, side effect is retrograde ejaculation, of which I had been forewarned, but had never been previously aware. Doesn't seem to make a great difference to the sensual experience while providing built-in birth control!"


"Ineffective for me. Used as prescribed by the dermatologist in combination with Ziana. Had the sensation of burned skin for one week. Only destroyed my skin not the acne. I stopped using it after 2 weeks. Acne was hormonal and cured by itself. "


"On the morning of my second pill of Tamiflu, I went to have my hair done. Hair salon used the same chemicals on me that they have been for over 8 years and had a severe skin reaction with the bleach, due to Tamiflu. I had purple hives all over my face, my lips were red and swollen, my upper torso was covered in a red burning rash and my scalp has burns and sores all over it. I contacted my urgent care facility who administered it to me and they said severe skin reaction is a side symptom. I stopped taking the Tamiflu at their advice. "


"I'm prescribed methadone and it makes me very constipated. Miralax is the only medicine that works for me. I have tried everything. MiraLax is the best!!"


"I took this medicine the 8 mg sample. It stopped me from urinating all day and had to have a catheter in E.R to drain the bladder."


"I'm on day 9 on Alesse so far, not very far into it yet but so far I really like Alesse. I was so badly traumatized from my first birth control experience as a teen it scared me to go on birth control again. Yasmin was really bad for depression and weight gain I didn't like it. Now I am married with children and wanted to try something else again, Alesse is low dose so I figured maybe it might be different this time , it's way better! My mental health is extremely important, I feel a little tired on this pill but only minor, I will update again to see how it continues, so far so great."


"Helped me sleep and kills pain, but I am nauseated upon awaking."


"This is my first month on the pill to help stop my periods. I was okay for the first two weeks of taking the pill,no problem whatsoever, apart from increases cup size from a D to DD (also they feel fuller too, which can be very uncomfortable).  I always take the medicine on time ,until the third week, where I had to go on a trip, and I would end up taking the pill maybe like 20 mins to half an hour later. And almost instantly after my 4 day trip , I started spotting and a day later it switched to a full blown period(cramps and heavy flow). It's been a week since all this began and as of tonight it will be switching to week 2. I don't know if it's because I was a few minutes late or what, but this is very annoying .."


"I was given samples of the 25mg dose for constipation due to methadone.  I took it as prescribed, 2 hours after a meal.  Within an hour, I was vomiting, has severe diarrhea, and horrible stomach cramps.  I ended up calling an ambulance and spending 2 days in the hospital.  All my electrolytes were out of balance, my temperature dropped to 95, I was so dehydrated they could barely get blood out of me. They kept a heart monitor on me the entire time I was in the hospital.  I had to be put on morphine, the pain was so bad.  I was released after 2 days but am now just starting to eat again.  I am usually very tolerant of new medications, but this one could have killed me.  I would NEVER recommend this to anyone."


"Sooo....started like everyone else on 0.6 after 2 days I spent 5 days in bed on the highest dosaging of Gravol. Never been so nauseated in my life. Then day 6 started feeling better. Definitely loss of appetite and only able to eat about 1/2 per meal as I did. This is my 4th week and still have some nausea on occasion and occasionally have diarrhea. So far I've lost 8lbs but haven't been dieting or exercising either. My morning sugars were from 12-16 now they're 8-12. Here's to 60 more lbs. "


"This product is great. I have tried several different sleep aids and this one helped me the most."


"I've been on this pill for about a month and a half now and I have had the WORST experience. This is my first time on the pill because I had awful period pains. I was on my period for 2 weeks straight on this pill. I have become an emotional, irritable mess. I've yelled at my boyfriend for the dumbest things and cry at literally EVERYTHING. This pill has made me crazy moody and psycho! And even my sister and boyfriend have noticed a change in my personality. Also, my skin has never been this worse. I've gotten clumps of cystic acne all along my chin, neck, and cheeks. It is SO bad. I am planning on stopping because it is doing nothing for me! I would NOT recommend."


"Not helpful for hyperactivity. Lasts a long time but doesn't help much.  On 50mg but maybe the dose recommendation is too low."


"I'm 55/ male and recently experienced a seizure during a visit at an MD clinic upon falling from the cart I was on and striking my head, I then had a subsequent episode two weeks later. I was started on Keppra 500mg twice daily, It has now been almost a week and since starting my appetite has tanked, I have had profound anxiety attacks,and insomnia along with occasional emotional lability, Also ataxia when walking. Don't know if I wanted to continue this, but will speak with my neurologist next week."


"Was prescribed Endep 10 for the pain associated with an attack of Shingles.  The effect was very good as I had very little pain from the rash or the nerves affected by shingles."


"This is HORRIBLE!! I have had the WORST anxiety than ever before and I haven't stopped bleeding for 2 weeks...(I only got this shot 3 weeks ago thinking it would be good)  Would not recommend this to anyone..."


"I first got the implant when it was called Implanon from 02/2012-02/2015. That experience was great. Hardly any periods. Did gain weight, but I didn't really care because I have horrible, long, painful periods. Anyway, I got in replaced and my obgyn told me that Nexplanon was the new name and "a little different".  My periods came back and with a vengeance. I have constant weeks of excruciating cramping with maybe 2 day breaks in between. It drives my boyfriend insane, of course. I'm debating on taking it out, but it has kept me from getting pregnant. Literally the ONLY perk."


"I'm just now starting to up it to 20mg/day. I also take 2 other SSRI type medications, and have been on depression medicines for about 20 years. Being currently unemployed and very little money, I can relate to others here when they say they are stuck in fear. I'm hoping this thing gives me some relief. Life is already too hard."


"I started taking phentermine on March 14th at 335lbs.  Today June 16th, I weigh 308lbs.  The pill is great for supressing your apppetite.  When I first started taking the pill, I had to make myself eat because I felt no desire for food all day long.  I pretty much eat whatever I want and still lose weight.  I believe that the lack of desire has caused a change in my portions that has been the main difference. I suffer from insomnia and anxiety but it could be because I have a lot of job stress lately."


"Used for a month or two. Gave me terrible migraines daily, along with irritability and nausea. I didn’t notice any difference in my acne."


"I was scheduled for a colonoscopy and made the mistake of reading all of these reviews and was horrified!! So I decided to concentrate on the good reviews instead but use tips of all. I was amazingly surprised to find this wasn't bad at all!!!! I'll share how I masked the taste to help others. I mixed the medicine bottle with water as instructed. (Make sure it's very cold...water and colon prep) then I poured only a fourth of it in a seperate glass and sprinkled some crystal light peach mango in and stirred. I then cut up lemon (Also a life saver). I got a big straw and drank and much as I could and then sucked on lemon. Finished all fourths in ten minutes, 2 waters afterwards is tough. This worked well for me and I would highly recommend!"


"So far it's good I had a bad case of postpartum depression

And in less then a month I was feeling like my self again

And it really helps my anxiety as well no more panic"


"To make a long story short, I have been battling anxiety and panic attacks for almost ten years. Took many different meds then was put on Lexapro. After a year stopped taking it and went on Zoloft. BIG MISTAKE. Started back on 10 mg two days ago, not having as much anxiety or panic. Just in the mornings waking up feeling anxious. Hopefully this will stop soon. My kids need me to feel better soon."


"I'm very grateful the FDA approved this! I've suffered with debilitating migraines for 25 years now and have tried every medication prescribed and OTC, unfortunately the only thing that would take away the pain are narcotics. Since using Botox treatments my migraines are under control and down to approximately 4-5 a month compared to 20-25. I feel as though I have a life again and not living hour to hour, not having a life in fear of having a migraine. Also VERY grateful to have good insurance that pays for this."


"My breathing has improved;  however,  I have had voice side effects.   I lost my voice and started feeling sick with an upper respiratory illness approximately a week after starting Breo.  I thought I was sick until I took a full dose of antibiotic and nothing changed."


"I think in the end I just started taking it out of pure desperation. I used to have a horrible feeling of butterflies just walking down the street, always feeling irritable, wanting to be sociable but finding basic social contact a real struggle. Teamed with mild depression, my social anxiety made me feel worthless, unloved and hopeless but I also cared far too much what people thought about me. After two months this medication has changed my life. I have never felt more socially confident in my entire life. You may still have negative thoughts, but they are often replaced by a more rational one. Was on 50mg, now on 100mg. I never realised how much social anxiety inhibited me. I feel more hopeful for the future and now can love myself."


"I agree with several others on here.  I have had this inside of me for less than 2 weeks and I got it to help relieve my heavy cramping and periods. This only makes it worse!!! it's a nightmare. i have taken days off work because i am so cramped. my period has lasted 10 days now and no sign of stopping. The Dr's office put me on Vicodin to help relieve the pain but even with that within 2 hours i am hurting again. What a slap in the face. I cannot wait to get this out of me. I will take my regular period any day of the week!  I feel so bad for the others who are going through this. :("


"I've been on Ocella for about two months now (and I was on it for about two years a while ago), but this time around I'm suffering from terrible nausea.  No mood changes, lost some weight, no pimples, etc...but the nausea is ridiculous.  I've been taking it now around 11 at night, so that I can try to sleep through it, but sometimes it will wake me up at 3 or 4, and I'll be so sick.  Hoping that I adjust to this soon, because otherwise I really enjoy using it!"


"I have tried many different prescriptions over the years to treat ADD, with various degrees of success. On other medications, I felt as though my thought patterns were altered or constrained. While on Strattera, its great to not even notice it's influence other than that I now feel as though I am better equipped to organize my thoughts. Every medication will have side effects but I think the benefits of taking a non-stimulant medication are worth it."


"I have been taking macrobid for two days now and my UTI feels better but today I woke up with terrible back aches where my kidneys are located and pains on my front sides. I have been so sleepy also today like can't even keep my eyes open with bad headaches."


"The side effects were terrible. The first day my heart was racing so fast, I had dry mouth, headache, chills, sweating, and woke up every hour after falling asleep at 10pm. I usually sleep through the night. The 2nd day of taking Strattera my eyes were dilated and my husband said my eyes looked weird. I thought I would sleep better since I took the medicine in the morning but I was wrong. Fell asleep at 10pm, woke up sweating with a fast pulse...really fast. Woke up every 2 hours. Just terrible. The 2 days I took it I had energy to do tasks around the house but the side effects of not sleeping and my eyes dilating were too much. Plus my heart rate was all over the place."


"The best medicine I have ever taken. Usually takes about an hour to work. I take it before bedtime (0.5mg) Restful sleep, but no grogginess in the morning. Just a really great medicine! I would highly recommend it to others!"


"First day...first day I felt the side effects. At first, I was ok. As the day went by, my eyes felt dry. Then my left arm and legs felt numb. I got real hot and anxious. Come 9:30p, my eyes and top of my head had such pressure. Not to mention I was ravenous all day."


"I have been taking this medication for 8 months now and I have to say that even though it gives me diarrhea and I'm stuck to the bathroom for a little bit of time in the morning, it's much better than dealing with the absolute intense pain and constipation I have had for 20 years. I think Linzess has this interesting side effect that is difficult to deal with sometimes but for me it is well worth it thank God for linzess."


"I tried Tanzeum for a month before giving up on it.  The first week I experienced nausea and headaches but willed myself to continue on.  By week two I was having joint pain in my hands and feet, but did not attribute the pain to Tanzeum.   The joint pain increased each day, my entire body suddenly felt like an 90 year old.  My hips hurt, it was difficult to walk up stairs etc.  Finally connected the dots and stopped the injections.  Over the next 2 to 3 weeks the pain gradually disappeared.  Wouldn't try it again."


"Had provera for 7 days 10mg to start my period I've missed 48 periods over 5yrs of no periods on the 5th day from my last pill I got my full period I'm on 5th day very heavy how long should I be bleeding??"


"I usually have bad migraines that knock me out for a day or two every week. Today I had the aura, the nausea and all my senses started feeling fuzzy like they do when it's coming on. This time, the troubles went away in an hour and I was left with a minimal headache. This is on Lyrica 2x75mg daily, that I actually take for Social Anxiety Disorder/Generalized Anxiety Disorder."


"I haven't taken an antibiotic for several years because I haven't had a bacterial infection. Over a month ago I came down with a virus but in retrospect it soon evolved into a secondary sinus infection. I respect the avoidance of antibiotics unless symptoms clearly point to bacterial infections, and I was not running a fever, and what my sinus produced did not look foul enough. However, when this didn't abate after close to 5 weeks, even my internist agreed it might be a rare low-grade bacterial infection and gave the green light to try an antibiotic. I started it the day before yesterday and by last night it was the first time in 4 1/2 weeks I got relief from the non-stop post-nasal glob driving me crazy. It couldn't have been more dramatic."


"It works perfectly. I have been battling with chronic constipation for far too long. No matter how much water, fiber or exercise I do nothing gets my bowels moving. Amitiza worked fantastic, I took three pills (one a day, as prescribed by my doctor) and went to the bathroom everyday for a week. Unfortunately, my doctor gave it to me as a test. My only complain is that Amitiza is far too expensive. Insurance does not cover it."


"During my appointment with my Dr on February 11-2017 for a refill of my chronic pain meds and to seek a better solution for my sleeping pills I weighed in at 296, I asked my Dr if she would give me something that would help curb the appetite. I started phentermine the next day. It is now March 18-2017, I now weigh 271. It works but you need to drink water and lots of it. I am now experiencing severe constipation. The medical guidelines say for short time use and I see why.  If I were able to workout I'm sure I would be losing more weight."


"JUST got it inserted about 2 hours ago. Read all the reviews online before getting it and was absolutely freaking out, my blood pressure was through the roof. I understand everyone is different, but the insertion process was nothing for me, slight cramp on measuring device but other then that couldn't feel a thing! So happy I went through with it. I am on my second day of my period so I'm sure that had something to do with it.

In my opinion there is no reason why they should be mechanically dilating your cervix when it naturally dilates every month! That's where the extra pain is coming in. But so far so good, not even any cramping afterwards yet!"


"When taking cialis 5mg once a day I have noticed very little effects of the meds if any.  I took two at the same time and what a great improvement. Is this safe to do"


"I broke out in hives, my skin felt like it was on fire, and my face was burning red all the way down my neck, back and arms. Felt like I was going to itch to death. It happened about 1 every 2/3 days."


"I was diagnosed with pneumonia 9 days ago. Started out on Azithromycin but was not feeling better after 4 days so doctor told me to finish that (only had 1 more pill) and then start Doxycycline 100mg 2x per day for 7 days. Started to feel better then got worse again. I have missed an entire week of work, today makes the 6th day I have missed. I am a substitute nurse at an elementary school so I don't get paid if I don't work. (I am on a long-term assignment working full-time right now). I haven't had pnuemonia in over 10 years. Never had a case this bad. Going back to the doctor today to get a chest x-ray. As a nurse, I am very diligent about washing my hands and using preventative measures to stay healthy. Most likely caught a bug at work."


"I have had implanon exactly 2 yrs. I loved this birth control for the 1st yr and a half. I had absolutely no period or weight gain. It was an easy and effective birth control. However last August I started having my cycle again. The bleeding was the heaviest it's ever been, very clotty, and unexpected. Often I would have bleeding every other week.  The length of the period is long, and extremely heavy with cramping! My mood has drastically changed since restarted my cycle. I have depressed feelings and often don't feel like getting out of bed. After starting my cycle back, I experienced weight gain. Went to the Gyno yesterday and since starting back in August I've gained 30 lbs. No change in my diet and I'm only 21. I'm getting this Birth Control out!"


"If you're having problems with oily farts then you're not following the recommendation of a reduced fat diet! That oil is fat your body isn't absorbing, anytime it starts happening to me it's my reminder I need to watch what I eat!!  I also have IBS I now have regular BMs and haven't been as bloated. Also my appetite isn't as strong where I'm binge eating and I'm not craving junk food as much."


"Thank you so much Belviq. Amazing results in the first 4 weeks. No side effects, I've got my confidence back now and feel amazing."


"My last test results were today Sweeeeeet stress went out the window, Hep C Free, It trully is the cure matter of factly  My last test was 4 months after the last pill, becuse I moved and it took that long to get set up for blood work. Harvoni! thank YOU, Thank You! ThankYOU!, I was CURED BY HARVONI, My royal Blood is clean Blood now..

earthsgold"


"I had the copper IUD inserted a few days ago! It was painfully like labor!! I'll do an update in a month!! My only concerns are the copper allergy!! I had some cramping after!!"


"I have been taking it about 4.5 weeks and I'm down 16 pounds as of this morning. I was skeptical because diet and exercise only toned me without any weight loss. I'm currently at 2.4 and move up to 3.0 Saturday. The only side effects I've had were nausea in the beginning and heartburn throughout. I would recommend this for anyone that has problems losing weight."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have been on Beyaz for a year and half and I've loved it! I had moderate acne before taking Beyaz and now I only breakout like once a month (it's usually only 2-3 pimples). My period went from a medium/heavy 7 days to light 3-4 days. I hardly have cramps or bloating. I love it. I sometimes get a little emotional but I contribute that to being 18 years old. The only real negative side effect that I could say that I have about Beyaz is that it's somewhat costly, my insurance doesn't cover it. But since I've loved all that its done for me, I choose to pay it. I would definitely recommend this anyone looking for a new birth control."


"I found the Nuva ring to be a hassle.

Two weeks after insertion of the Nuva ring I had to take it out! The first week I started experiencing nausea, headaches, cramps, noticable excessive vaginal lubrication, desensitivity around my lady parts. These symptoms followed into week two and started getting worse.  I couldn't tell if the nuva ring was effecting my mood or not due to mental health issues I already have, I didn't know if I was just having a bad few weeks of depression ( which is normal for me ) or if maybe the Nuva ring was causing me to feel bad.

I also, I found the Nuva ring hard to insert as it felt like it was always going going to come out, and had to keep putting it back in place. I would not recommend it. Just wasn't for me"


"Thus far, Trulicity has worked for me to get my blood sugars under control.  Changing my eating habits,  I can tell that I have lost some weight while using Trulicity. Others can tell as well.  I know of three other patients who have requested from their physician Trulicity as a result of me talking with them about Trulicity."


"I love this Birth control  so far! I've  been  on it for 2 months , I spotted  on and  off  for the  first  3 weeks . I just used a poise pantyliner  and was fine. I have  had  slight  acne, but I wash and use Bentonite  Clay 3 times a week . I've  heard  of excessive  spotting , you  have  to  take  it at the  same  time  every  day . I take  it at 7pm like  clock work , sometimes  6:30. Take it at night"


"I had dental implants. I was a nervous wreck going to the dentists office. I was in the dentists chair for 5 minutes and after that I don't remember a thing. The next thing I remember was my daughter getting my prescriptions filled at the pharmacy. I am thrilled to say this anesthetic was great ! I wish everyone of my surgical procedures was this easy. No after effects."


"After about 15 months on Skyla I recently discovered that I am about 2 months pregnant."


"I experienced my first migraine when I was roughly 10 years old. I'm 32 now. Last month (July 2010) I had a particularly vicious attack which lasted 1 1/2 weeks. Following a few days of relative calm, a second migraine (or continuation of the previous one... who knows?) occurred and essentially disabled me for an additional 1 1/2 weeks. After much research, I talked to my physician and decided on a treatment plan which includes taking 25mg of amitriptyline (Elavil) at bedtime every night, as well as Maxalt MLT and a nausea drug when needed. I've been taking the amitriptyline for nearly two weeks now and so far so good. The side effects are noticeable, however, and include drowsiness, fatigue and dry mouth. Will keep you posted."


"I was experiencing extreme symptoms of what seemed to be vaginitis or a yeast infection...so I went into see the doctor and was prescribed terconazole... I had been in agony for two weeks.. But with just one application of the cream as directed I experienced instant relief... I slept like a baby..."


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


"Taken during times of acute mania on numerous occasions and less frequently during the depression. Effective but difficult to focus given my type of work resulting in further time lost at the office.
Treats the mania and psychosis fairly well but required in hefty doses to have any proper effect which, if course, further exasperates the work situation.
I'm neither for or against. It's merely a good stop gap during times of need.
Oh, and the weight gain is beyond disgusting. It's the major reason that I refuse to take it regularly."


"I have trouble falling asleep once or twice a week. Temazepam works great for my insomnia, as long as you take only the amount that you need. Make sure you have 8 hours to sleep, and you take it only a couple of nights per week it works wonders."


"I've been taking this medication for about 4 days now. I've been binge eating for a few times a week since I was about 12 and now I'm almost 19. My nurse practitioner put me on a 20 mg dose in the morning and said it would help with my BED and my energy due to my depression (diagnosed at 14 but have felt since 13).The first day I took the vyvanse I took it around 12 and around 3pm I had energy I haven't had in YEARS. I'm in college and decorated my room, organized every single drawer, and even scrubbed the floor. I was talking my roommate's ear off. It's helped with my food habits but now nothing sounds good. I'm barely getting to 400 calories a day and am hoping it will get better soon. But so far so good!"


"My experience has been HORRIBLE. I got it after I gave birth on Nov 2012 and at the begginig it was cool. I have not gained weight i have just lost mad weight and it sucks I weigh less then I've ever weighed before. On March of 2013 I got my period and now is Nov. and I still have it non-stop full on period and it sucks I have an appt on Nov 13th to get it removed. I have lost my sex drive, I've been bipolar this thing had made me crazy I cannot wait to get it removed and have my life back. Would not recomend it to anyone."


"I hope this will appeal to those considering taking Champix, more specifically those with doubts they will ever give up. I have been a smoker for the last ten years and I've tried giving up once which didn't even last 24 hours. I started Champix two weeks ago (currently on the last day of my 2nd week) and I continued to smoke on Champix for the first week and a half. Throughout this time I found the taste of smokes to be revolting and I would throw away half cigarettes which is unlike me. I thought the medication would work its magic and make me stop smoking, but no, that magic and the work had to come from me, so I set my quit date for the Thursday of my second week. I am now 4 days smoke free! It really works and helps!"


"I started on 25 after 6 months went to 50 mg another year 75 mg 2 years 100 mg I have stayed at this level about 4 years some weeks I need the my pain pills for beak through pain every 6 hours but most of the time I take it once a day.Before Fetanyl I would always wake up at night with horrible pain then after taking meds.it would take a couple of hours to get the pain back under control. It has been a life saver for me as for the patch wearing off to soon I have forgotten to switch my patch and it is usually the 2nd day before I start hurting badly the other thing is I never take pain pills unless my pain is above a level 4 this has always helped me not to crave them and it may be why am not as sensitive as those who try for a 0 pain level"


"I can honestly say this medication has saved my life. For years I had been taking diphenhydramine (benadryl) and had no sleep-wake cycle and never felt completely awake. About 8 months ago I tried out Ambien and Lunesta but my doctor wouldn't let me take them for any longer than a couple weeks. Then Trazodone was recommended, and while the first night was absolutely terrible (nausea, insomnia, overslept), and I am never going back. I can take it long term, it's cheap, it makes me feel genuinely tired and not drugged tired, and I finally have a sleep-wake cycle again. It is also very calming, which helps sleep come a lot faster. I can now get up in the morning and not hate my life. Bless this drug. I don't know where I'd be without it."


"Adipex-P really works as an appetite suppressant/metabolism booster. I really loved the energy.  I've used it several times over the last 12 years and have found that the weight gradually returns when you stop using it.  You have to permanently change your eating habits and add daily serious exercise to sustain any loss."


"Immune system is where it should be for the first time in 5 yrs!  Actually had to reduce Hizentra by 20% after 6 month blood check!"


"I have found this medicine for type 2 to work extremely well.  I have had to use many other meds for my type 2 diabetes; and found myself on one heck of a roller coaster ride with high and low and no middle ground.  This particular med is great for me, and it helps keep my appetite in control.  The apeptite issue is from another med, that I will not mention"


"After 40 years of heavy use of this drug my mother passed away recently for aorta dissecation aaa stanford type a , having a post mortem saying that her aorta was all calcified, she used this active principle as it was the only one she said was helping her to get relief. My recommendation to you all is to have your arterys checked and use this active principle as little as possible"


"My Doctor prescribed me this medication due to the fact I could not sleep at night. He warned me that I would have vivid dreams, but I haven't really.  I really like this medication as I can sleep through the night for the first time in years.  The only draw back is that it knocks me out cold, and the next morning I am really stiff from not tossing and turning all night.  I can live with that."


"I am 70, female.  19 years ago had right kidney removed due to renal cell cancer.  In spring of 2016 my shoulder began to bother me, and it got worse until my upper arm broke just below the shoulder, due to renal cell cancer which had metastized to my upper arm bone, my pancreas tail, and two spots on my liver. I first had two weeks of IL-2 which gave me awful side effects and no changes to the cancer tumors. Have been on Votrient since September 2015. November scan shows tumors shrinking. Feb 2017 shows tumors are still shrinking.  Side effects are diarrhea every day, body and muscle pain, scaly sores on my bottom, fatigue, and just recently pain in my hands.  I take 800 mg daily, late in the day.  I take Tramadol for the body pain."


"This is definitely birth control... Not because it will stop you from having a baby, oh no, but it's the fact that I had my period for 3 1/2 weeks out of two months. Usually my period would last for about 8-10 days out of two months, so..."


"I started taking generic lipitor in February/March  2017. My lab work came back and total cholesterol was 311. At first I started taking 20mg a day. By the 9th day I was an emotional mess. Anxiety,  anger, confusion, leg pain, stomach pain and heartburn. I decided to take the 20mg  every other day. All the side effects disappeared. Works great.  I heard back from my Dr who says to continue the every other day dosage because its working and its tolerable for me."


"Im actually an adult on the patch. I am 28. female. I've been trying to find the right stimulant with bearable side effects since I was in high school. Please excuse the lengthy review I just know the search can be tough and long. I have Depression, ADD, GA & SA, and OCD skin(cuticle) picking tendencies. It's been very hard finding a stimulant that didn't worsen my anxiety related symptoms. I could tolerate 5mg adderrall XR but my body burned through both the XR and IR in about 3 hours. Then I would crash for the rest of the day (depressed, irritable, anxious).  Vyvanse gave me zero motivation and made me calm but in a weird way. For example, I didn't care or worry about anything... I didn't even want to talk to people. I would just want to sit there alone and stare at a wall or something. It was nice to be that relax but too weird. But the real problem was the crash! It was the most extreme of all the stimulants I've tried by far! I took it only twice and threw it out. I almost didn't try Daytrana patch because Ritalin was actually the first stimulant I tried, which was over 10 years ago and I remember similar symptoms to that I had on adderrall. I ended up giving it a try with the logic that it might be smoother since its was for children and I was also desperate since I'm working and study for the GRE. I'm so happy I gave Daytrana a shot!! I'm telling you if you suffer from anxiety, can't tolerate the crashes, and metabolize the other stimulant too fast you have got to try this one!! I've only been on it for a week but I can't believe it! I leave it in for the whole 9 hours and I never crash. In comparison to Adderall is still the best stimulant for getting you motivated, I have to motivate myself a little but unlike adderall I can stay focused ALL day with Daytrana. Im also less likely to do something "stimulanty" like start reorganizing my closet for no reason but I do get the necessary cleaning, errands, bills etc done effortlessly. And the best part is that it doubles as an anti-depressant since, what I assume is the increased dopamine stays in my system pretty much all day and night. The "happiness" doesn't feel like a high it feels more like an absence of depression. I don't have anymore of the repetitive negative thoughts. The constant emotions of hopelessness, guilt, embarrassment, you name it, just aren't there anymore. There is still a mild degree of sadness I carry with me but I have major depression so I feel like it's only normal and I can handle that :)!! As far as the negative side effects: Like all the stimulants I've been on I still have the insomnia, loss of appetite, and increase urge to pick at my cuticles at night when it's wearing off. But there is not a "crash". no evenings being completely drained of energy, fits of irritation, major anxiety or depression.
Also, the patch is applied to your hip and I'm experiencing some muscle tension in my legs which I think might be slowly subsiding. Im drinking a lot of water and taking vitamins in precaution of cramps.  Advice on taking the patch off- It's easier for me to take it off when it's wet. I do it in the shower/bath or rub it off with a warm wash cloth.  Good luck!"


"Started working for me in about 2 hours. I've had 3 explosive pure liquid bms. First one woke me up as I was pooping. Messed my sheets and me up. I haven't had any severe side effects. Slight cramping and nausea. Worth the payoff for me. I was so constipated and impacted. I feel much better."


"Took Naproxen 500mg twice a day for four days, then ended up in an ambulance on-route to A&E department.

Naproxen also gave me a serious heart problem, I now attend the heart failure clinic, and the ENT department for tinnitus. I am a UK citizen based in the UK.

I regret taking them."


"I have had insomia for months. Dr started me on Elavil 10mg for sleep, within a half hour I'm a sleep. I have not slept this good in a long time. I am not a zombie either in the mornings. I feel very good when I awake. Best thing."


"OK I went to a new doc and told her about my anxiety. She said this med was a huge antianxiety plus a little antidepressant. I've been taking it for about two months. I've never gotten nauseous or sick but I'm 6'2 320lbs so who knows. I do agree with previous posts about being more sleep oriented but I got over that. I'm no longer  anxious and get on with life better than before. I guess a big part of medication is the "want" to improve and this med helped me to follow through with that goal. If you want something to pick you up and show you how capable you can be give this a try. If not Money lost. Experience gained"


"I've completed six months with this and have had zero problems with it. 4 day periods, sex drive is normal, minimal cramping, and no other side effects at all.  Birth control pills work different for everyone. Your body may react differently than mine, but I've had no problems with Tri-Previfem."


"My 5 year old started in this for hyperactivity related to ADHD. This drug is NOT a narcotic as some mention. There are side effects of making someone tired and drowsy. For my son, those subsided quickly and he became the child I always knew he could be-nearly perfect but still his spunky self. Of course I should have known it would be too good to be true because after 4-6 weeks the positive effects have subsided. He's back to losing everything, fussying about everything and just generally not listening. The doctor says its placebo effect but I don't buy that. His behavior and sleep are back to the way they were pre-medication. It's worth a try for ADHD overall though."


"Two days ago I found out I have genital herpes. This is the second day I've been taking Acyclovir. It's been working good so far. The stinging while urinating has gone away but not so much. I still have cold sores but hope that acyclovir gets rid of them. I'm praying that this works. "


"Do yourself a favor and read all of the horrible reviews first, because it wasn't as bad as I thought. After reading the reviews I was terrified. I mixed mine with lemonade and poured over ice. I used a straw. I cut up lemons to suck on in between sips, and I had a green jolly rancher in my mouth the whole time I drank it. It actually doesn't taste bad as it goes down, it's the taste on the tongue that is bad. Seriously, it is terrible, but not so terrible that I couldn't do it. I also didn't take forever to drink it. Got it all down in six minutes. Took three big sucks out of the straw at a time, sucked the lemon and rubbed the lemon on my tongue between sips. Gave myself 20 seconds of recovery and went back for more."


"I've had depression for years and very high anxiety which at one point I could barely breathe and I had to focus on my breath  to calm down at all. I took xanax for 6 months a year ago. It helped a little with anxiety but not for depression very well. I got off xanax last year and took nothing at all. I felt like I was losing my mind and had thoughts of just ending my emotional and mental agony. I went back to my Dr and he gave me Lexapro and xanax. For the first time in years my face doesn't grimace in emotional pain and I feel happy. I don't know if Lexapro could do that by itself,  but with xanax it's saved my life."


"Had spinal fusion in Jan 2015. I had severe nerve damage due to spinal stenosis. I had terrible burning pain in my entire right leg. Opiates did nothing for it. I have only been on lyrica for a week and I definitely feel somewhat of an improvement . I am hoping it gets even better in the coming weeks."


"I started taking Belviq two weeks ago. At first I only took one pill a day, but on week two I moved to two pills a day as prescribed. I've lost 8lbs in two weeks by taking the pill as directed, twice a day, and maintaining my calorie intake (1200 or below). I've also made sure I'm drinking at least 100oz of water each day and have cut out sodas throughout the week. I have faith that I'll reach my Weightloss goal."


"I've tried Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, and many more anti-depresents and none of them worked for my severe anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, and post traumatic stress disorder. I struggle with Panic attacks on a daily basis but Xanax has helped me so much and I've come a long way. Panic attacks are one of the worsts conditions to have."


"After 2 weeks (60mg/day) I am pleased with this. I had constant dysthymia, black periods lasting a few days, breaking into tears for no reason, not coping, couldn't see a way out, hopelessness. I couldn't tell my partner everything: she needs me to be strong.  She knew anyway. The medicine leveled it all out. Only 2 weeks but the depression is gone. I even felt briefly euphoric today. I am easier to be around. Calmer.

Negatives: a strange dissociative feeling, sort of out-of-body, as if hearing myself talk slowly, dizziness, an itchy rash on my hand, dry mouth, general tiredness, lethargy in bed in the mornings, no erectile problems, but problem reaching orgasm.  If these moderate in time, then my 7/10 score will increase."


"This pill has been very good to me.  It calms me down and balances out my mood so I no longer have the extreme ups and downs.  It keeps me in a happy middle.  While many other bipolar medicines I have taken have made me feel an inability to feel angry, Risperdal just keeps me from making a huge deal over small issues.  I no longer get mad over petty things, but I do feel angry when something extremely upsetting happens.  I do not feel extreme sadness for no reason any longer, but I do feel it when extreme events happen.  For instance, my grandfather died last week and I was sad about it but I no longer feel depressed for no reason.  The stages of mania I used to experience have almost completely subsided."


"Been on it about 2weeks don't feel any better"


"It works like a charm - stops the sweating and shaking and hot flashes ascociated with performance anxiety. Makes me calm and able to focus. And absolutely no side efffects.

Also, I haven't had a headache in the six months I've been on it."


"Lots of nausea after moving from 5mg to 10mg. Days and days of headache and nausea, did get a zofran RX and I feel much better! I believe this med is doing a good job at helping with my depression and anxiety. Just came off of Prozac after 10 years and I'm pretty happy with the results of Trintellix so far, 3 weeks in!  Had to work the much hated job at work today - front desk.....easiest day I've had up front in years, I believe due to new Trintellix....very promising!"


"Lost 45 lbs on this medicine and couldn't be happier. This pill works.
I have kept the weight off for 6 mos now and desire to lose another 15 - 20 Lbs so I'm going back on it. My belly has shrunk!
5 ft 2 started at 212 lbs, now 167 lbs.
Some people that haven't seen me in a while do a double take.
Counting my calories, exercising 5 days a week, keeping a food diary and drinking lots of H2O helps too.

Good luck all!"


"This helps my depression more than anything I've tried. I'm using Emsam and the ease of use is excellent. I have fibromyalgia and this might also be helping my pain, fatigue, and libido since I've noticed improvement with all. At first I craved sweets but don't now. I have mild irritation at the patch site. I wake up at least once at night to urinate (where I didn't before) and I also want a snack at that time, too. Even with night eating, I think I'm losing weight on this medication. My one concern is that I am definitely losing my hair on this. I will see my psychiatrist next week for a one month follow up and if the hair loss is easily remedied, I'll stick with it. Expensive without insurance."


"I had my daughter back in 2012 at 35 weeks, and my son at 32 weeks in 2014. Both pregnancy my water broke and they couldn't stop the contractions. For this pregnancy I been on makena since week 17 and I stopped at 33 weeks because the pain in my hips from the shot wouldn't let me walk for two days after each shot. I'm happy because today I'm 37 weeks and going strong.  I have my c section schedule for the 29 of May.Thanks thanks Makena. I recommend makena 200%."


"I have been taking trisprintec for almost a year now. At first I was perfectly fine with this Birth control, but now I suffer from random headaches, my acne is worse, I tend to cry for no reason especially at night before bed, and I'm always in a bad mood. I have noticed withing this past month I don't really enjoy sex anymore, and it's hard for me to get wet, I have developed Hypertension, and I missed a pill the other day I was in my 3rd week, and I've missed a pill before and been fine, but when the bleeding first started it lasted 7 days and I wrote it off as an early period because I missed a pill, but 3 days later the bleeding returned and hasn't yet stopped. Sunday I start a new BC and hopefully all of these symptoms go away."


"I have been on Qsymia for about 2 weeks on the low dose 3.75. I was a little nervous about taking this after reading the reviews but so far I haven't had very many side effects. Just had problems sleeping a little other than that everything was fine. I'm not sure if I lost anything I haven't weighed myself yet. I start my higher dosage tomorrow and will update everyone next week."


"I started on Flecainide in 2009.  Started with 50mg twice a day. Atrial fibrillation episodes continued but when I stepped it up to 100mg twice a day, episodes kept at bay.  Only problem is when I forgot a dose, then episodes happen and real bad rhythms to boot.  Got to be on time each day with dosage, or else not protected.  No side effects at all!"


"I have been taking Copaxone for 15 months.  I have not had any side effects I could not live with.  I have gained 20 lbs though."


"The way lamictal works faster or slow is due to your metabolism. I could go up doses very fast without having the rash but wow I suffered so much while going through this process. It does get worse before it gets better. Once you get to the therapeutic dose then things start to improve. Now; some of us have vivid dreams. Scary sometimes but you get used to them. Also it took me at least 5 months until I got its full benefit. And it may cause you insomnia, need some ambien for that. Ambien stopped working after 5 months. And so when I tried melatonin it worked pretty well. Melatonin didn't work in the first months on this Drug. Only worked after the 5 months and then after few 2 months I didn't need it anymore. I was sleeping well without it."


"I was prescribed this to lose weight but also to help my diabetes (Type 2). In 9 weeks, I have lost 20 lbs on the 7.5mg dosage. I have cut my nighttime Lantus usage from 28 units to 7 units, and anticipate being able to stop the Lantus entirely within the next week or so. I have lost weight before on my own, but not to this extent, and not with these results with my diabetes medicines. The only side effects I have are an occasional tingling in my feet which the doctor says will go away when I stop the medication, and some dizziness, but I also have that without the medication, so that could just be me. However, the dizziness gets better when I drink more water or eat, so it may be not eating or drinking enough."


"Its very strange at first, serious nightmares, its almost like lucid dreaming, very 3D, and you have more ability to make decisions in the dream.  It takes me at least 2 hrs for it to work, and I have taken it and stayed in bed for hours with a horrible nights sleep.  It works different than ambien, it gives me a sedative feel.  Make sure you have at least 7 hrs to sleep.  Once you get used to it, the negative side effects I think go down.  The half life is longer than Ambien and that's good but it still does not have the effect of a quick acting sleep med.  More expensive too because its new and there is no generic yet."


"I have had this in for just over 3 months. The insertion was quick and painless and the bruising afterwards was a little uncomfortable, but generally fine, and went away completely after 2 weeks. For the first 2.5 months I had constant irregular bleeding, not heavy, but it was inconvenient as it was quite dark in colour, and pretty unpredictable. No cramps which was good. Now, I'm delighted as I haven't had any bleeding at all and it's totally settled down. Mood seems normal and in terms of weight gain, I may have gained a couple of pounds but it all seems to have gone to my breasts. They've gone up a whole cup size haha! Really pleased with this birth control now bleeding has stopped."


"I have GAD and panic attacks. I use celexa 20 MG as my first line and ativan 0.5 twice daily if I need it. I occasionally take it at night when my mind races and won't shut down. Celexa has my anxiety under good control but ativan is my just in case med."


"Also forgot to mention that my boobs got bigger! I can't tell if I have mood swings because I've always been so moody. No nausea.

One time though I had some pain on my leg and I was worried of a DVT so I got it checked out, turns out it was just a pulled muscle--thankfully.

So don't get scared of all the horror stories out there. Just be on the look out for dangerous side effects, obviously, but don't be afraid to try it out."
