"I had an abscess that had been draining for about 6-days without end and finally went to the ER and had it lanced and packed.  The ER doctor prescribed Bactrim DS.  After two days I become dizzy and nauseous and pretty much bed ridden. Based on the reviews here and other sites I have discontinued using the drug. (10-day dosage)

The abscess has stopped draining seems to be doing okay after taking the meds for 5-days.  Also the ER doctor failed to notice that my HBP med conflicts with this med.  (Lisinopril) Next time I will do more research.  Normally, I do but I felt so miserable, I assumed they knew better."


"I have been on this medicine for almost 3 months for insulin resistance, I've lost about 17 or so pounds but am hit with random nausea episodes, and sometimes multiple times a day. My sugar levels are improving but this feeling of sickness is not."


"So I had to change my birth control. I have been on the depo for 5 years and I told it will be healthy to switch since after time it begins to break down your bone density. So I research many birth controls and came across implanon. I did a lot of research and reading other women's reviews had me very scared because of the terrible side effects. When I first went to get the implanon I was denied because I had sex within a 10 day period so take note no SEX lol. I went from no period with the depo to period about 6 days a month. My periods were not heavy at all. I have not experience any mood swings, nor low sex drive. I have had the implanon since March 2015. I would recommend it to anyone. But do take note everyone's body reacts differently"


"I am 19 yrs old and have been on the ring for a year! I absolutely love it. It's easy to use and insert, you dont feel it AT ALL (I sometimes have to check if its still there out of irrational paranoia... it always is). (You can have the ring out for up to 3 hrs). I have had few side effects- my breasts grew slightly and the first few months on the ring gave me crazy amounts of discharge, but it lessened greatly after 3 months.
I was worried to take oral birth control because I was completely regular and healthy and didn't want to mess that up. But NuvaRing didn't!"


"Seems to help with my blood pressure and protein in my urine. I am also type 2 diabetic.

No noticeable side effects."


"I was on the nuvaring for almost 10 years and I had very few problems with it. Yes, it feels like putting a jelly bracelet in your hooha once a month. However, I had great skin, short periods (3 days, my back would kill for the first day) and never got a decreased sex drive. I have had issues with certain well endowed partners playing ring toss though, which can be awkward. That is the only reason why I am switching to an IUD. Overall, a great experience for me."


"I was diagnosed with depression and panic disorder in 2013.  The first medication I was prescribed was Zoloft,  which turned me into a zombie.  My doctor then switched me to Effexor,  which had way too many side effects from mood and all the way to affecting my vision.  I was then switched to Lexapro, which was great and masking the depression but made me gain 30+ pounds in less than a year  and literally have zero motivation. 3 months ago,  my doctor switched me to Wellbutrin  and it's made the biggest difference in my life.  In the first couple of weeks my anxiety was a lot worse but that went away entirely and I haven't had any other side effects.  My energy is back and I genuinely look forward to the next day."


"Stage 4 endometriosis. I've been on Lupron for 3 months and will get another injection next week. I've had a few hot flashes, about 1x/day occasionally, but not everyday. I have stayed below my original weight by about 5lb. Some moodiness/occasional depression. But overall I haven't had any major problems! I was very worried about side effects before starting Lupron, but am glad I did it. I want to be healthy! I'm getting married next weekend also so have been planning a wedding at the same time. We're hoping to get pregnant next year!"


"Paxil really calms.  No longer feel stressed and has completely controlled my anxiety.  Only downfall is that my memory is not as sharp as it was prior to taking the medication."


"I've had the Kyleena for 4 days! Insertion was not terrible just uncomfortable do not let these post scare you. I also had my IUD inserted while on my period. Maybe you should schedule insertion appointment around your menstrual cycle if it comes on time each month."


"Was on Junel Fe and it worked according to my needs...which was to have a lighter more manageable PERIOD or no PERIOD at all. After taking Junel for a year, all was well. Upon my renewal, I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription to be told that Junel Fe had been recalled or discontinued, but Blisovi was the same medication. IT IS NOT! Where my cycle had been light to non existent, never experienced cramping even before being on birth control, I have now been on Blisovi since the end of October 2016 and my cycle has gone haywire! Sudden unexpected menstruation, including severe cramping is not the answer! Had me over here thinking about getting on Depo, but I feel that is not the answer either. I am contacting my doctor immediately!"


"I rated this birth control at a 3 because it drastically changed my daily life. Before taking the pill, I was a morning person, but after taking it for 3 months I found it extremely hard to get out of bed in the morning.  I was getting 8 hours of sleep or over, which is usually plenty for me and by 9 at night I couldn't do anything but lay on the couch. I am an athlete and I run everyday 5-10 miles, but I got to the point where my entire body would get so exhausted I couldn't make it through a run. I got on it to help acne, which it didn't seem to get any better. On the plus side, I didn't experience any spotting like other people have mentioned and my periods were normal. I got off the pill and started feeling better."


"I have used Protopic continuously for about 5 years for atopic dermatitis and all I can say is, this medicine does wonders for your inflamed skin - sure it burns a lot if the eczema flares, but the burning will fade away after a couple of hours.

Recently I was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis as well (unlucky me, yup!), and since I wasn't so pleased with the topical steroid-creams, I tried Protopic on my psoriasis lesions. And this showed up to be a very good idea, since I have been in control of my psoriasis since I started using it. So all in all, I give this my best recommendations, although it is a bit expensive."


"Excellent! No loose bm's which can send you to the hospital."


"I am currently taking Macrobid for a urinary tract infection. I've been taking it twice a day for going on 4 days now. I was very very leery of this medication, because when I was pregnant 4 years ago, it was prescribed to me for a UTI. I took it and was really ill. I felt like I had the flu...weak, chills, nausea, horrible headaches. My doctor gave it to me and I was scared to take it, but with my last UTI the Cipro didn't knock it out. I'm happy to report that this time, I am doing fine on it. No side effects, but the UTI symptoms are pretty much gone.

Make sure you take this ON A FULL STOMACH! Not with a glass of milk, not with a snack, not BEFORE eating...a full stomach!"


"This medication worked incredibly well for me - I saw a huge improvement in my skin just a couple of days after I started taking it.  I only experienced very slight nausea immedicately after taking it the first few couple of days, but that seemed to subside the longer I took it.  I know medications affect everyone differently, but I personally had completely positive results from taking this one."


"It is awesome. I totally recommend Celexa. Do not be afraid of taking this: It really works: You will bathe in tranquility without feeling anything different: The best way to describe it is to be at a Spa relaxing yet fully awake and functioning normally. I am definitely converted and I am converting everyone I know. It works: I guarantee it."


"The pain has got worse in both knees I have a hard time walking, standing even sitting too long. I wake up thru the night in pain I had only small amount of back pain thru the injection and some headaches which all stop 2/3 days after injection. But the pain  has been going on for 6 weeks  with  no relief"


"I have chronic severe back pain from an injury at work.  Fractured my T12 and messed up my lower back and a pinched nerve.  I have been through Physical therapy, nerve blocks.  I am now on Oxycontin 10 mg 3 x's a day, Vicodin 5/500 for break through pain (I take about 4 in 24 hours), Neurontin 300mg 3 times a day and Paxil for depression.  Before being placed on all of the above my pain level was at 8-9. Now my pain level is 6-7 except if it rains or is cold then it's a 9.  I'm still unable to do anything.  Pain increases with any activity despite the medicines, plus I feel faint when I stand up, brain is foggy, poor memory. Hear common noises that I mistake for something else like singing or talking."


"I had unprotected sex on Sunday at like 4 in the morning and I was freaking out so my boyfriend and I bought Plan B and I've been feeling super nauseous for the past four days now and have been very paranoid but I found this and read all of your comments and stories and it's made me feel so much better. I'm going to keep myself calm and just wait it out."


"After a L5-S1 microdiscectomy, the disc reherniated and I was eventually diagnosed with spondylolisthesis. A couple of weeks prior to a scheduled spinal fusion, I developed an extremely severe case of flu and then a couple of weeks after that came Guillain-Barre Syndrome (a rare autoimmune form of peripheral neuropathy). I have been on 3600mg/day of gabapentin for 18mos and have been told I can expect to be on it for the "foreseeable future". While I still have days where my neuropathy is worse than others, this medicine has played a huge part in my having a better quality of life than I thought was possible with these two major conditions."


"This drug has saved two of my very good friends from what I really belive would have been both of their deaths. The 1st friend was an emotional wreck, and the 2nd friend was a suicidal cutter, and BOTH have gotten their lives back and are on the right path with this medication. Both did gain some weight and got some acne, but when you look at the alternative, I think they are both beyond grateful for it all! As am I, so I think if someone you know is like this, please get them to a doctor who knows about bi-polar disorder, and get them onto this medication, it really truly DOES WORK for a lot of folks suffering through their life, when there is NO NEED to! Help them! WE ALL DESERVE TO LIVE A SOMEWHAT "NORMAL" LIFE! "


"Originally I had no side effects on Daliresp and noticed better breathing, but after two months I noticed a moderate tremor.  PCP put me on primidone for benign essential tremor.  After another month the tremor increased significantly and I asked my pharmacist what drugs could be causing this.  After she told me Daliresp, I went online to the manufacturer's website and discovered that primidone should NOT be used with Daliresp.  Since it is the weekend and my tremors are continuing to increase to the prevention of some normal activities, I've stopped using both until I can talk to doctor's on Monday. "


"I'm currently on my six month with xulane. I previously has ortho evra which I absolutely loved. However after it was discontinued I took 6 months of the pill and one month of no birth control to reset my hormones. I remember how much I loved ortho evra and how happy I was all the time. With xulane I have mood swings regularly and I exprience some weakness in my extremities sometimes. But I don't have irregular bleeding or migraines. I originally loved the ortho evra patch because my regular monthly migraines disappeared. Now I only get them about once every three or four months. I am a bit more irritable then my last patch. Maybe in a few months ill find an alternative patch. But for now I'm doing well on xulane."


"I am 31 and This is my first time taking birth control pills. this thing is giving me acne all over my face! Big ones that I have never seen before because I have never had acne in my life. I'm extremely tired and sleepy all day but I am loosing weight. I will have a talk with my GYN at my next appointment,I want something else!!! But I'm stuck between choosing to loose weight or keep getting acnes."


"My boyfriend is in the military and we had sex the day before he left. We aren't planning to have kids soon so I took the pill the day after and I got my period a week later. It works great and I didn't have any side effects."


"I smoked for 8 years Djarums.. the FDA has banned the sale in the US. I never tried to quit before..I smoked the first 7 days with Chantix and have now been smoke free for 11 days ( 2 ml per day), but I am NUTS! Today was very bad, I cried ALL DAY at work and everywhere. I'm crying now. I wanted to drink - have been sober for 12 YEARS.. but I'm not giving up yet."


"Car accident, 1997 ,diagnosed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, herniated, bulging, protruding disks, anxiety/panic disorder, migraines, and last Friday I had a heart attack! I was given Dileudid through I.V.!  Best medicine I have ever experienced!  "


"Its helps to keep me asleep, but makes me dizzy. Have to wait 5 mins before getting off the bed."


"I bought the med yesterday and applied it at bedtime. The burning and itching is bad, I mean it felt like posion ivy in your vagina. I took it around 9:30-10 pm and by 11 it was really uncomfortable but if you can stick it out its not so bad. I passed out and woke back up around 3 am and I had no more pain. This is the first dose my vag does feel better. No itching but still very sore. So I think I'm going to finish the cream."


"I'm 18 and have been taking Adderall XR 30mg for 10 years now. When I take it, I can focus on school work and my job and actually succeed. I like being able to do well in school and work but lately the side effects have seemed to intensify like crazy. I'd always experienced the loss of appetite but now the sweating, anxiety and depression are all starting to wreck havoc on my life. I'm not sociable at all when I'm on this medication. I feel like I'm more of a robot. And if I get distracted for a second and start something else, I will focus on that instead of getting my work done. I've tried other medications in the past but none do the job like Adderall. "


"I have been on this medicine over thirty yrs. Back then it was a "new trendy medicine" to help people with panic disorder. This has worked for me so I can live a normal life.. actually a MORE then Normal life! I had tried Xanax and many others with NO avail. This medicine has been extremely effective due to the long shelf life it works for me great! I was able to be a great mother, friend, and work my way up at work. I feel so many would benefit from this wonderful medicine as long as they take as Dr. orders it. Yes, over a time.. your body needs more of it. I have never experience any bad side effects from this medicine. I wish more Dr's were informed of this medicine truly being a "medicine"! Please docs, help your patients!"


"I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia  in 1980 when I was 19 years old. Went to the ER, converted myself via Valsalva Maneuver -- went to my MD the next day/had an echocardiogram done and was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse. My heart throughout the day kept going into PAT (200+ BPM) No chest pain or anything, but pounding heart/fainting.  I was started on Lopressor at that time .... 100mg BID and this is an amazing drug. Sure I still get the odd PAT episode once in a while, but the pounding and skipped beats are greatly reduced. No side effects at all. It actually has a calming effect. Been on Lopressor for 35 years. Great antiarrhythmic."


"Was prescribed Bactrim by a walk in clinic. Shoulda known better. After 2 days, I experienced some awful side affects - chills, fevers, night sweats, insomnia, diarrhea, and migraines - for three days. I thought I was going to die. After I finished my prescription, I got this terrible head to toe rash that itches like crazy. My UTI is gone but it was not worth the rash and three days of near death. Does anyone know what I can do for this rash?"


"I have a meniscus tear in my left knee which hasn't bothered me much till this year due to all the shoveling I had to do.  My knee was aching with sharp pain for weeks which led me to my Doctor.  He gave me a shot of cortisone which didn't do much.  He spoke to me about Orthovisc which is a series of 3 shots within 3 weeks consecutively.  I had the 1st shot last week which wasn't too bad.  After the shot I had pain for a couple of days, it really didn't feel like I was getting any relief.  I went back for the 2nd shot 2 days ago.  I had pain for the day and now today 2 days later I have no pain at all.  Nothing.  My pain is gone.  This medication is definitely working for me.  I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these shots for everyone with knee pain."


"Causes severe migraines in my case, weight gaining (I used to weigh 117lbs after using it for a couple of months I'm 130lbs). I haven't changed my diet, I am always careful what I eat and I cook at home. I go to the gym regularly I see nothing else I can blame for this situation. I am having mood swings and I get irritated a lot. I never had these symptoms when I was using Minulet, Femoden or Harmonet. I have been taking birth control for 9 years now. I will ask my doctor to change it."


"Saved me for the first six years I was on it.  Unfortunately as with many SSRI's it will lose its great qualities after time.  You can go above 20 mgs but its not recommended.  I am adding Lithium to try to get it working again."


"I have 3 kids. I'm 26 and weighed 172 when I started phentermine 15mg 8 days ago. I went for my first weigh in on Wednesday  (day 6) and was down to 167. 5 lbs in 6 days. My goal is 140. I had energy surges the first 3 days and that faded but I don't feel tired all the time like I used to. I am also on an antidepressant and have noticed if I forget it the next night the phentermine will make it hard to sleep. I started exercising more and it's a lot of work to even eat 1000 calories a day because I'm not hungry but I do special k shakes for breakfast and small lunch and dinner. So far I love it."


"I'd had some problems with sulfur/eggy burps when increasing from 1.2 to 1.8, including gastrointestinal tract distress.  My endocrinologist recommended using a Simethicone-containing OTC medicine. I've just reached the 1.8 dosage, by increasing from 1.2 to 1.8 by two-click increases, along with a Simethicone OTC consisting of two 180mg caplets - with no problems, so far.  Will try reducing to one caplet per day.

My GP suggested the burps may be GERD, which I've never had before, and I saw the earlier post about the sulfur/eggy burps being due to dead stomach flora.  Will try reintroducing GI bacteria (pro-biotics?) and let you know if I can get off the Simethicone altogether."


"Absolutely terrible, this pill made me depressed, angry, and anxious. I can barely sleep at night, and it's causing my cheeks to break out (I've never had acne on my cheeks...). I've also had to go to the doctor because I fainted multiple times (note: I have never ever fainted or even come close to it) along with being lightheaded, nauseous, and having no appetite whatsoever. I'm 19, and I've been on it about 3 months. Would not recommend unless you want to be a completely different person (for the worst). The one good thing is I haven't had a period since I've been on it."


"Took this for about a year and it was highly effective. Boosted my mood and rid of most my anxiety in just a week of starting it. Only thing was it made me sick at first but I switched to taking it at night and I was fine! I'd recommend Celexa over anything."


"So I have had skyla in since august 16th 2016. I had to get my last one replaced because I didn't take to it the first one I had my period lasted 2 months it was heavy and gross. My second one now has stopped I have had my period steady since august.. it's now nov 24 and I don't know what to do.. sometimes it's super heavy or sometimes it's light but still very much so there. Random and painful cramping. This birth control is depressing but it's a good birth control mainly because you can't have sex because your on your period (unless your into that). Getting it taken out was not horrible, getting my second one back in wasn't bad just made me sick.Over all I hate this birth control to be honest no woman likes bleeding for more then a week"


"I asked my pharmacist what the best over the counter treatment for arthritis swelling was. He recommended the Advil. I took one capsule at noon, it is close to midnight and my swelling has gone down considerably, the pain has as well."


"Addicted to heroin/dilaudid (hydromorphone) & pretty much ANYTHING injectable steady daily for over 5 yrs. Went onto methadone thru a clinic after over a year on waiting list. On methadone for 18 months w/good results (no use) but didn't want to be in a clinic setting daily to medicate & ultimately want to be med free- Doc tapered my methadone dose in order to switch me to suboxone in the hopes of then tapering me to no meds. Doc felt it was best chance at achieving my goal of zero meds w/continued sobriety. It took nearly 5 days to alleviate the withdrawal from methadone even after tapering to less than 50mg daily & not dosing for several days in an attempt to lower my levels. Very very difficult transition for me. Hopefully a good choice"


"I began taking Saxenda on 9-26-16 and I went to the doctor to weigh in 10-24-16 and I lost 9.5 pounds. I have had no side effects other than dry mouth. I feel satisfied and full when I eat small lean meals. I did not exercised at all over the 4 weeks. I am going to add exercise for month 2 and see what happens. I have less cravings and always carry an apple with me or have fruit at work to snack on between meals if hungry."


"Anafranil : Most likely the best medicine for obsessive compulsive disorder, overall. Yet each person has their own body chemistry/energy issues.

Most people with OCD need about 100 to 200 mg at night. The key is to GRADUALLY go up in dose. This will give your body TIME to ADJUST to Anafranil. I am now up to 150mg, after 3 months and I am feeling much better. Much less OCD thoughts. Yes, sexual side effects...as with any OCD medicine. I used to take high dose Paxil for 8 years and it just wore out, OCD came back.

I think I will try Anafranil 200 or 225 mgs, stay on it for a year, then see how I do as I try to wean down the dose to 50 or so."


"I have been diagnosed with severe chronic pain due to herniated disc which causes sciatica.   I have tried everything over the counter... NOTHING WORKS.  Yet, one Vicodin and the pain finally went away.   Unfortunately only temporary."


"I have been taking Suboxone for ten months now and let me tell you if you are serious about wanting to quit your addiction and you follow your doctors orders you will not find anything better than Suboxone. I was taking 5 x 80mg Oxycontin a day and quit by using suboxone without withdrawls and after a week of taking it i was really back to my old self again. It is true that the same dose is not for everyone. I only took 3 of the 2mg pills a day and that is a low dose but it works. Now I take one."


"Cephalexin is the only anti biotic that clears UTI'S for me. The GP's always tell me to try others but inevitably just prolong my infection until I finally get cephalexin. No noticeable side effects for me and always do the job. I literally cry with relief when I get these as I know within 24hrs I can get on with my life!"


"I have had insomnia since I was a small child. I have PTSD and severe anxiety this is the only medication I have tried that truly makes me get 7 plus hours of sleep and I wake up feeling wonderful."


"It lowered my cholesterol without any side effects."


"Greatly improved my relationship & sex life. Highly recommended, nothing worked but Edex is great product."


"I was put on this pill because my obgyn believes I may be prone to polycystic ovaries and had very long, heavy periods. I had taken other birth controls in the past (yasmin and nuvaring - about 10 years ago). In my first month I've experienced migraine-like headaches and almost daily nausea, which subsided during my hormone-free week. I take the period at night, but if I have to stay up for a significant amount of time after I take the pill, I have to deal with terrible headaches. My period was still long (about a week) but was much lighter than before. I've read that the side effects may subside after a few months, so I've chosen to stick with it for now. Gave it a 6 because other pills could have the same efficacy without the side effects"


"Very itchy feeling from this cream , I don't think it helped me at all ."


"This is a great alternative to more invasive or daily types of birth controls.  I've had it for almost one year now & have no pregnancy scares (I'm very sexually active).  During the first couple months my period was very light & short, however now I have my period about twice a month for about 8 days each cycle, sometimes with spotting in between (sometimes a full month of bleeding).  I'm more depressed during periods & I get breakouts that aren't terrible, but are still annoying.  I'm hoping in the next 3 months my period stabilizes or I'm going off this BC.

This is a great birth control if you don't mind the risk of possibly wearing panty liners most of the month & like the idea of never having to worry about protection or daily pills"


"I get reoccurring Bacterial Vaginitis. This medication is the only one that works. I've used tea tree oil suppositories, & 500mg boric acid suppositories. You can possibly get a yeast infection if you are sensitive. Boric acid suppositories are the only thing that works for clearing up a yeast infection. Bacteria that cause Bacterial Vaginits can be held in the urethra of a man so I would be aware of reoccurring infections with the same partner. Maybe get him treated also. Keep your sugar intake low. Strengthen your immune system.  The gel is more expensive but seems to be soothing. The pills will get you well but do NOT ingest alcohol at all or you will get violently ill. I forgot at a work function once, never again!"


"I began having focal seizures in 2011, not knowing what was going on, I wasn't diagnosed until 2013 after my first Grand Mal. Began taking Dilantin 500 mg per day. Seizures were much better, but my memory is completely shot, sex drive is null and I am way more easily agitated. If I miss a dose I will generally have a focal seizure. Doctor wants to add Keppra, but I am a little scared because of the depression possibility. I have withdrawn from friends a little already and do not need to add to that. Plus when I took it last week I was in bed exhausted at 7:30 for no apparent reason."


"Hello All!
I am currently on the Nexplanon birth control, and I have to say I loved it at first. It's so nice not to have to take a pill everyday, but my negatives have out weighed the positives. First, my period comes every two weeks and in between I cramp like hell. Not to leave out that I feel like I'm on edge in a bad mood as well. I also get pimples in between my eyebrows on my forehead, where I never use to get them and under my nose. Before the implant I never had acne problems, and now I see them all on my forehead. I'm so sad because it won't get better."


"I love it. I would recommend it 100%."


"Dose at 0.25 mg had noticeable improvement for BPH symptoms lasting 2 days. Excellent side effect of improved ED function if taken daily at 0.25 mg dosage. Ins. did not cover drug prescribed for ED. Will try for BPH treatment."


"Life changer. I am so grateful I finally broke down and decided to get help with my anxiety. after all it was so bad I was having panic attacks everyday. I wasn't myself anymore and constantly was worried and sensitive to everything. I was annoying myself and I'm sure annoying other people. I was starting to recluse myself. I had horrible chest pains and was so worried I would have a heart attack. Now after 2 weeks I feel amazing, back to my old self again. No panic attacks and have finally reclaimed my life back. I'm happy bc I am able to go to the store now and not be anxious. It's so wonderful. No side effects and I am very clear headed now as well - no brain fog!!"


"Don't make the mistake so many others do by taking this horrible drug. You will get relief initially but make no mistake about it, this is really addictive and before you know it you will hit tolerance and will need to take more to continue feeling OK. However you may get to the point where it actually makes you feel horrible, waking up every morning with extreme anxiety and hopeless. I've off all benzos for 9 weeks now and I'm finally starting to feel normal. Before trying this med, do your research and you'll find out how many poor souls are out there suffering every day with very little relief."


"I've had paragard for just over a month. I felt compelled to write a review because I feel like people only review things when they have a bad experience and there aren't enough good reviews out there.

I read horror stories about the insertion. But to my relief, it barely hurt. The most painful part was the speculum being removed. I did not have any cramping after and I went to the gym the next morning.

The first 2 weeks were great. No side effects at all. About 10 days before my period I got cramps on and off and a little spotting. When my period finally started I was expecting the worst, based on the horror stories. Day 1 was pretty heavy but after that it was lighter than usual and only lasted 5 days. I love my paragard so far!"


"I've had Skyla for about two months now. After insertion, I had really bad cramps (I'm pretty tolerant to pain but this was these were worst cramps ever).

My flow hasn't really changed that much except I have spotting for about three days after I would normally stop bleeding.

I have gotten my period twice since getting skyla, and I've had pretty bad cramps both times, as well as nausea.

Hopefully everything will adjust soon so I don't have to be in such discomfort. But overall I think it was worth it since it is one of the best forms of birth control and I don't have to remember to take it everyday!"


"Only thing that keeps me out of a psych doctors office."


"Bad side effects. I had bad sweating, muscle stiffness, nausea that would not go away. I had to quit."


"Gets you over the hump in regard to asthma flare ups, and have had fewer Emergency Room episodes since getting this.  Taking it everyday is another story - it causes chestpain after about the 3rd consecutive day of use.  So I generally stop using after a couple days, and then if symptoms still persist will start up again after a day or two break from the drug.  When asthma is back under control I dont take the drug at all."


"I'm currently on day 4 of taking the generic Wellbutrin 150 mg. I was put on it to try and quit smoking because my insurance wouldn't cover chantix..Anyways I was very scared when I read side effects and I've never taken any kind of med like this before..but I'm  currently loving how this medicine is working for me. The pharmacy  told me to take it at bedtime..that only lasted the 1st night as I was up until after 4 am but now that I take it first thing in the morning it's fantastic. .I've never felt like I've had so much energy in my life and I'm actually down 6 lbs only 4 days in..(still have alot of baby weight to lose). I am still smoking but notice the urge decreasing!!"


"Having been on Fentanyl lozenges and patches (became addicted cold turkey to come off) Morphine (on for too long) I was prescribed Tapentadol 150mg twice a day although it was supposed to last 12 hours it never did. I then started to get flu symptoms every two weeks 15 times this year so I am coming off the drug down to 150 a day and already feeling better in my head although pain is very bad so will need to find something more suitable. Problem is nerve damage in my spine. In the UK so no cost to me."


"This is the worst bc ever! I am always always regular. Went on this after my second daughter was born. After taking it a week I started spotting which turned into full bleeding with clots, and wasn't due for my period for another 2 weeks. Felt dizzy, headaches and nauseous. Went off mid pack. Been on alesse and yaz in the past and never had a problem. I know bc is different for everyone but I do not recommend junel fe."


"I started this pill yesterday and today I feel like my blood pressure is so low I can't do anything. Any time I stand up I get dizzy. I can't drive anywhere feeling like this. I have had some trouble breathing and clammy, cold sweats and just feel awful. I won't be continuing this medication."


"It was too good to be true. 30 mins after taking it, I felt as if I was in a state of clear conciseness with no 'thoughts' coming into my mind uninvited. I had to initiate the thought myself. In other words I felt in control of my faculties. i.e general anxiety as it called with various 'rabbit holes'. This medicine makes you feel on the surface of life. And oh yeah, no side effects other then forgetting to eat which is not a big deal because when my body tells me to eat, I'll eat. Also, prior to taking it I had a real problem falling and staying a sleep. Now as soon as my head touches a pillow I close my eyes."


"I'm gonna share my full story to try to bring relief to anyone freaking out. I am 18 and my boyfriend is 19. We're clearly not in a place to be parents at all. We had sex with a condom a week ago and as he was pulling out it slipped off spilling who knows how much in me. I immediately took plan b. I got my period a week later and two weeks earlier than it should've been. But my period was weird, it started off brown (which it normally is at the end not beginning) and it was very light, me freaking out took to the Internet. I was very nervous that this could be implantation bleeding instead of my period because it met the qualifications of implantation rather than a period. I waited it out and now my period is regular. Hope it helps."


"Effective in reducing discomfort"


"Hi. I took the plan b pill  because the condom broke. We got super nervous and I actually cried but we rushed to the local drug store and I took plan b within 45 min. I was supposed to get my period the week after. It was about 2 days late and I was freaking out. I stressed so much and read reviews and they said not to stress because it makes it worse and trust me ladies... You cannot stress out. It finally came on the 17th and I've never been so happy to have my period. Really ladies, be patient and the sooner you take it, the more effective it will be, so take the pill very soon. Good luck to everyone and also I did not have any side effects to taking this pill, so I would rate this a 10/10."


"I was getting very discouraged reading everyone's fantastic testimonials.  I am on week four, have not lost 1 pound, appetite is still overwhelming, ready to give up, until I read one post, where the writer admitted it took almost 4-6 weeks to start controlling their appetite.  Thank you writer, wish I knew who it was.  Thanks to you I am going to start month two with a better outlook.  I am a hormonal mess and starting a hormone therapy Dec 8, hopefully that will help my system.  Keep it up all you who Contrave is working for!"


"Horrible. Took one pill as directed on first morning. Within an hour, increased heart rate, pupils dilated, uncontrollable diarrhea. Had to leave work, even felt like I had the flu. I only need to lose about 15 lbs. my doctor should have never prescribed this drug for me."


"Got the iud for heavy periods.  Has helped so much, very light periods now, some spotting.  should've gotten the iud years ago!"


"So me and my girl friend had unprotected sex on May 27 and she was on her 11th day cycle (28 days cycle and 19 years old). I pulled out but I was afraid of precum. So the next day I bought the pill but she took pill 44 hours after our accident. The first week she didn't have any symptoms but after that she started having soar breasts and stomach pains. But thank god she had her period yesterday may 9th 4 days early. The point of this is to stop worrying!!!"


"I'm one of those anxious patients that look up the possible side effects to every med before taking now... due to having a severe reaction to Zoloft. Before that reaction I was never scared of meds. I was absolutely terrified to take this, but I had a UTI and so had to take it. Once I did I had absolutely 0 side effects. I get a headache if I don't eat with it, but I wouldn't really even consider that a side effect. Not even one bad thing happened to me...several people have posted such horror stories and it just scares people like me. Believe me I'm terrified of meds and this one is a breeze for me to take. If you need it you have to force yourself to take it, and hopefully like me you'll have a great experience. Good luck"


"I recently found out I have a urinary infection, I went to the doctors and they prescribed me this medication and within the first day I could already tell results!!! It was absolutely amazing."


"I went to my doctor after suffering several years of depression. I was in my late twenties and had been feeling strong suicidal depression since my mid teens. I went to a doctor finally and after talking to me for about three minutes, he prescribed venlafaxine (Effexor brand) I started out at a low dose, and kept getting my dosage raised every time I went back to the same doctor. Each time my dosage was raised, I was feeling worse. The doctor just said it takes time to work. After almost a year of taking this junk, eventually at the highest dosage, I was self mutilating and always suicidal. Doctor was just looking for a kickback from the Pharmaceutical company I suspect. I quit it cold turkey and that was about the same as being on the drug"


"It is difficult when a relapse occurs, a patient needs to wait about 24 hours from their last opiate use before they can begin the suboxone again. Many opiate addicts become "sick", and are too tempted to take the suboxone too soon. Then because they take the Suboxone too soon, they become even MORE sick, because the Naloxone antagonizes the opiates still in the body. I've experienced this myself because I tried so hard to wait out the time and couldn't bear it. So I took the Suboxone early and felt like I've never felt before. I had the feeling of jolts in my legs. My skin felt like there were bugs crawling on me, I felt so internally cold, as if I were in a refrigerator, etc. But waiting 24 hours is too long."


"My dermatologist prescribed me Epiduo and it's been OK. My face has cleared up 40% of the way but it BURNS! I will stop using the product for a little while until the dryness and rawness clears and then continue about every other day."


"Had depression for almost 8 years - been on these tablets for about 3 years.

Am on 150mg a day. On the plus side it does seem to work to a degree, although most of the time feel tired, don't sleep (even if I take them in the morning).

Side effects for these at these dosages and not good - hate the dry mouth, feeling tired and nausea - even though I train 4 days a week"


"I took Fenofibrate for exactly 12 days and then stopped taking it, as it caused severe leg cramping in my thighs and calves that left them sore and aching for the next 2 days.  "


"I had the Skyla inserted exactly 2 weeks ago, I'm not going to lie the insertion was painful, but not unbearable. The procedure itself lasted no more than 5 minutes. I took 4 Advil and ate breakfast as directed. As soon as my doctor was done I did experience cramps but nothing like I was expecting. It just felt like I was having period cramps. However I did alternate medicine every 2 hours with Advil and Tylenol after the procedure that entire day. I have not had ANY spotting at all.. although I continue to experience "period cramps" almost everyday now. I will say it is 100% percent worth it.. not having to worry about pregnancy."


"I got Jaydess (Canadian Skyla, same thing) In June 2015. I switched from the pill because I was having a hard time remembering to take it.
The procedure itself was pretty painful, but the two waves of cramping only lasted about a minute in total, and my doctor had me cough during the insertion. Had some pretty bad cramping for the rest of the night (more than my usual period cramps) and used a heat pack and some extra strength ibuprofen for a couple days. Moderate spotting/bleeding for about 2-3 weeks after but then it stopped. At first I had some slight pain during sex but it's totally fine now.
6 months in, I get a period approx. every 6 weeks that lasts around 3 days. Totally worth it to not have to remember a pill every day!"


"Was on Lunesta for some time but could not tolerate the side effects and the daytime drowsiness. I drive a school bus so I had to stop Lunesta quickly. My doc gave me Silenor and the lowest dose seemed to do the trick. I can sleep about 7 hours nonstop and not worry about bad taste in my mouth and more important drowsiness in the day. "


"I've been on Mononessa for about 5 years now. I started the pill because of irregular periods and extra protection against pregnancy. The first two to three months my body was adjusting to the change which caused nausea and mood swings but afterwards I was back to normal. My appetite has gone up, my sex drive has gone down just a bit but not to the point where I was worried about it. I have clear skin and my periods are shorter and lighter. By far the best pill I have been."


"I have terrible anxiety and occasional PTSD and panic attacks (which I also believe cause my ulcers and IBS). It got to be that I was so afraid of everything I'd get myself physically sick.  I got the courage to tell my doctor and he prescribed Zoloft. I've been taking half a pill this week and have to go to a full pill next week. It's absolutely amazing, my thoughts don't linger on every little thing now, I don't worry at all or panic. I don't assume people are mad at me anymore, I can sleep at night, and I can eat without getting sick. The first few days were ROUGH. I got literally every listed side effect, but they cleared up as the week went on. If it's working for you, keep at it, the side effects will go away."


"Saxenda works, substantially more than I ever would have expected. I have lost 20 pounds on this medication in 3 months. I am on the 2.4 dose and that is where I have stayed, and getting these results. Side effects are minimal and worth it given the fact that I have dropped to a size 6 :) You feel full faster and are less hungry. Also, I am not as up and down with my energy. I feel more balanced. I am not diabetic but this must have something to do with my insulin levels. I have been working out for 3 years and have seen varying results, then hit a plateau. now I am finally dropping the weight and getting in shape."


"I have been on Suboxone for just over 2 months and it has changed my life. I no longer depend on the pain pills or go through the withdrawals when I couldn't get them. I would tell anyone who wants help to get on Suboxone because it really helps. The only problem is the taste."


"My experience was complete hell. I used to take Tri Prevefem which has different hormone levels and so on. The reason why I switched to this kind is because I missed 1 day of the pill because the first day I forgot to pick up my package (tri prevefem) from my pharmacy .. but they didnt have it the next day I went to go get it and I got this kind  (I thought nothing of it) So I doubled up. I took Sunday and Mondays pill to catch up like I was supposed to. The next morning I vomited everywhere. The hormone levels in this pack are crazy. I know I vomited because my body wasnt used to this hormone level. so just FYI if you switch contraceptives and you double up on the pills beware of the craziness."


"I had the Skyla inserted today. It is a smaller device than the Mirena and has less hormone.

My gynecologist was amazing and the entire procedure was minutes long. I had it inserted during my period. This was not required, the scheduling just happened to fall on my period.

It felt like a routine pap until she dilated my cervix, which elicited some pain. I actually thought that was the Skyla being inserted.
She then inserted it and it felt like a very sharp stab. It definitely was painful, but not enough to cause tears.

I had fleeting mild cramps for the next 30 or so minutes and now 7 hours later, I feel great.

Prior to going I took three 220mg Aleve.

I have high pain tolerance. "


"My son was given Intuniv on October 8th of this year. He was on it for eleven days when he started having really bad uncomfortable full body ticks. I stopped the medicines Sunday night it's now Wednesday and he's still having ticks.  Dr says it will wear off but as a parents it's very scary."


"I truly believe this drug helps many adults. Just seem to get through their day a bit easier and if that's all it takes than so be it. Not everyone is able just jump into the day while wearing a smile."


"I was pretty sure I wasn't going to become pregnant, but just to be sure, I took Plan B (I still spent an agonizing month waiting to see if I was right). I waited about 48 hours after intercourse to take it, because I was afraid of the side effects, and I had to work and give a presentation at school. I felt a bit 'off' and nauseated after taking it, but nothing serious. Don't let the side effects stop you from taking Plan B. It's pricey, but I think it's a good idea to have a dose on hand, just in case."


"I was given this medicine in the ER for a horrible headache 2 years ago. My heart rate instantly shot up to 150 and I couldn't sit still. I wanted to rip my IV out. They pumped me full of ativan to try and get me to calm down. My legs and toes started moving on their own and they kept me in the hospital for 3 days!!! I now am plagued with horrible panic attacks and my toes still move on their own. Never take this drug!"


"I have been taking this because of a fall in the produce department at the store (slipped on water). Severe hamstring issues and lower back. Not giving much relief."


"Every 2 years or so I switch birth control pills to get my body used to something new. Other than Yaz making me border line psychotic, Aviane is next at the bottom of the list. I've been on it for about 6 months now and I had to go back to what I was on before. If I didn't take it at the exact same time every day, I would spot and after month 3 I bled for 2 weeks straight. My acne is the worst it's ever been and I know Aviane caused the cystic acne on my chin every month. "


"This drug made my heart rate drop extremely low !I got a sore throat and could not stand up! It gave me upper stomach pain and bloating! I also got Thrush from it!"


"Been on latuda 20mg for almost 3 weeks now. I definitely notice a difference in my mood. I dont feel so heavy and down. Im glad to finally have some relief. I also notice that my anxiety is not as high and im not angry all the time. I hope things go up from here. Im very positive about this medicine."


"I started with the 37 mg dose for mild-moderate depression I had experienced this past year.  I felt calm and peaceful for the first few weeks.  The doctor had me increase the dose to 75mg.  I tried for a month to adjust to it, but all I wanted to do was sleep.  It took away my energy and I fought fatigue.  I reduced back down to 37 mg and felt pretty good for a couple of months, but started to notice trouble responding to people around me.  It felt like being in a daze that took some effort to break.  I also started to feel out of sorts and frenzied.  I decided to stop the medicine a few weeks ago and feel 100% better.  No more confusion or anxiety!  This medicine was definitely not a good match for my body chemistry."


"I used Topamax for 3 months after working myself up to 150mg/day. It brought my migraines down from 3-4 a week to 2-3 a month, which is great, however after having been in and out of hospitals with horrific abdominal pain my doctor cycled me off of it. I had also lost 20lbs in a 3 week period, but had not noticed a change in my appetite. I am very fit and eat 5-6 times a day to keep up with my metabolism and workouts, so the weight loss was extremely irritating, considering it was nothing but lean tissue. I also could not drink carbonated beverages, and was extremely depressed and emotional (which is very out of character). I did not think the side effects I experienced were worth the benefit."


"I started taking this on Wednesday July 11th, 2012 at 248 lbs. I am 5'7 and gained 112 pounds after my son was born (3 years ago). Today, July 14th, 2012 I weigh 241 lbs. Of course, I am staying at 1200 calories a day, and drinking at least one liter of water (Smart Water) a day. I am not looking to rush my weight loss, but would like to be at least 40 pounds smaller in 5 months. So far, so good. No side effects except for dry mouth. It also gives me more energy, and I am happy all the time."


"What a nightmare! Diagnosed with Fibro 2 months ago. Was put on Cymbalta, which did nothing for me at all. Doctor switched me over to Lyrica, and the nightmare began. Three hours after the first dose, I was dizzy, nauseous, shaky, and started having trouble with my balance. I decided to try and stick it out since I had heard such great things about the medication. By the 4th day and 4th dose, I couldn't function. I couldn't walk without holding on to something (like the couch or a wall), I was so nauseous I couldn't hold down food, my head wouldn't stop spinning, and I was suicidal! When I finally realized I QUIT THE MEDICINE!"


"Epiduo works GREAT. I had terrible acne, I HATED it. Epiduo has worked wonders, even though it's not completely gone yet, it has helped so much and I'm so happy."


"Last year or so I was having constant spotting and so I went to the Dr. and was put on different birth control pills, none of which helped with the spotting until this one.  I've had no spotting whatsoever on this one and I've been on it for 9 months or so and my periods only last about 3-4 days which is nice. I've also stopped getting bad cramps which were horrendous prior to birth control. My acne has cleared up expect for the occasional spot but only once a month or so. I have not experienced any weight gain either, however I do notice some slight mood changes but it's nothing that is uncontrollable. I would recommend."


"Two hours after taking this had severe diarrhea."


"I got the liletta inserted about a month ago. I would describe the pain I felt from it similar to the intensity of passing a stone from my gallbladder. However the pain lasted less than 2-3 minutes and insertion was about 5 minutes. I have never given birth. I have had spotting and cramps on and off 3 weeks after insertion. Now I'm on my period and I will admit it is heavy but less crampy. I do find this IUD very effective. I also like this much more than taking a birth control pill. The pills made my blood pressure increase and cause absolutely horrible bloating. I'll take spotting and slight cramping throughout the month than what I was going through with pill anyday."


"I have been on Meridia for 4 weeks, I lost 6 lbs the 1st week and nothing since. I drive semi truck and have little time for exercise. My only side effect is dry mouth. I feel that the cost of the drug outweighs the benefit."


"I have been looking for Drixoral for the last month and cannot find it anywhere.  I usually purchase it at Sam's Club and thought that they discontinued carrying it.  Reading the other posters, I now understand that it is no longer being made.  I've used Drixoral for the last 20 years to relieve sinus headaches and without Drixoral, I am again experiencing these headaches.  No other product I've used has worked."


"I have had Rosacea since I was 18. I am now 48, I have tried a few different medicines. This is the first that has improved my skin to the condition it was in before Rosacea. I have not had any side effects from this drug. I give it a 10."


"I currently am on the equate generic brand of this. It is the first night and there is a little burning and a lot of itchiness which is hard to tolerate. I have the equate 7-Day treatment and to me it seems fine.

I do hate the fact that it makes you feel like your oozing out with stuff."


"So I have been on the patch for about a year now, I chose the patch over the pill due to convince. Turns out its kinda a pain. I had not had to many issues aside from i weight gain and it coming off before my week was up due to excess water. Periods where normal for me, always generally heavy. Unfortunately I had to stop for a month due to cost. (i know dumb) and I am now having an allergic reaction before this occurred I was wanting to switch anyways. I plan to switch to Paragaurd."


"I just started this, and then read reviews here. I'm REALLY concerned. One guy said that he has good luck taking Flo Max every other day. If he reads this, do you get the side effects of sexual dysfunction, like every single other guy has mentioned here? I decided to try this and it seems to be working so far.
Has anyone stopped this and had their sexual functioning return to normal?
I wonder if this is just an effect of lowered blood pressure.
Besides, I cannot afford this stuff.
I've done a lot of research on natural alternatives. I'm going to try these, and at least right now am optimistic, as user reviews are very positive."


"New to IUD, never had kids. Easy insertion, NO cramping, NO heavy flow -- I wish I'd gotten a ParaGard IUD sooner!"


"Very good medicine for chronic pain conditions. It can be habit forming and addictive but the pain relief is worth it."


"My mood got absolutely crazy in the first 3 weeks. I also had spots for over a month. After that, my mood got back to normal, but I still have spotting from time to time. Even so, I after coming into the 4th month with the pill, I can say that I am very happy about it. It is a little pricy but I like the fact that the periods are really under control. I had heavy bleeding that lasted for 7-8 days a month, and now things are so much more under control. If you are going through tough times in the beginning, do not give up. That will pass."


"I have been taking nuvigil since 2012 started on provigil built a tolerance against it in 2 months. I take 250 mg a day but I split the pill and take each half at specific times usually  between 6-9 am the other at 3pm to 6pm (depends when I took the first one) seems to help me stay awake a little more that way. It lasts for about 1-2 hours on me with each half."


"Worked mildly well, but excellent when paired with a small dose of Trilafon."


"I have been taking Zolpidem (Ambiem) for about 6 months now. After I retired I found I could not fall asleep and when I did I woke up after 4-5 hours of sleep feeling tired all the time. This medication has been a miracle for me. I now wake up after 8 hours feeling refreshed with lots of energy."


"Like lots of you that have commented. I have a huge fear of speaking in front of large groups of people. I'm in sales and I'm great in 1 on 1 or smalls groups when making a sales call. But when I'm asked to speak or get up and talk in company sales meetings that usually consist of 50 people. I freak out instant red face shaky hands trembling voice the whole 9 yards. I was to the point of making a career change from a job that I loved because I lost hope in fixing this problem. Until my doctor prescribed me propranolol or the miracle pill! I take 1 20mg pill about 1 hour before a meeting and 1 take another 10mg right before the meeting. I loose all fear no shaky hands no red face my heart rate is calm I think clear and speak well. Love it."


"I've had anxiety for many years and my Dr had me on Xanax for about 12 years...3 times a day (0.25mg). She weaned me off to only taking 1 at night. While weaning she put me on 5mgs of lexapro to ease the process which was over a year ago and I still take the lexapro however, lately I have been experiencing more frequent panic/anxiety attacks which causes major dizziness more so than before. I'm not sure if Lexapro is for me or if the mgs is too low. I'll be making an appt to see my Dr but I want to see if anyone out there has had or is having this problem. It's pretty scary."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Don't let the very negatives scare you. I used Suprep a week ago to prep for my second colonoscopy, and having used the "easy" prep they took off the market after the one I had ten years ago I was very leery.

Now, I'm not going to say it was fun, but it was easier than some had led me to believe.

I recommend: mixing the "cocktail" and refrigerating it well before drinking it and then plugging your nose when you drink. Also. I sliced a lemon and rubbed it on my tongue between swallows and it really cut the taste (just don't eat any of the lemon or pulp)

The worst part in my opinion was that ishy full feeling drinking lots of water after, but that passed quickly. It worked well and fast! I ate lightly the day before."


"I suffer from migraines and frequently have extreme nausea and vomiting.  Since I can't keep my migraine medicine down (Zomig) at times like these I have to be taken to the emergency room for shots for pain and nausea.  The last time I went they gave me a prescription for Phenergan.  I didn't know how I would manage to keep it down if I did need it I thought that was odd, but since the bad migraines usually come in threes, I had a chance to try it the next day.  It was great! I could keep the Zomig down. I got a little rest too. "


"I am just past my 2 year mark with nexplannon and I have mixed feelings about it. After I got it I bled for 2 weeks straight and then it went away. I gained about 15-20 pounds on and off the whole time and the one side effect I get the most is numbness. Specifically numbness in my left knee and my right wrist. It's always in those places and never anywhere else.

On the plus side, I'm not pregnant so it's doing its job. I love not having to remember pills!"


"I did what everyone else did and read all the negative comments. I just got mine put in last week and as most women say... Yes it is painful. The doctor even said it was going to be painful. I felt probably the worst cramp I've ever felt in my life for about two minutes and breathing very heavy as if I were going into labor. It's very quick and then pretty bad cramping for the next 30 minutes to an hour. I was able to drive home just fine and the next day there were still cramps but definitely not as bad as it was the previous day. Yes it's painful, but very quick! In 6 weeks I go back to get an ultrasound to make sure that it's still in there properly. I would say it's definitely worth getting it done because it's good for three years!"


"TERRIBLE!!!- do not take! First off this made me super super hungry. Secondly it made me a complete zombie. My friends and teachers said I was worse than normal and I already had depression. Not only does it make you zombie like when I increased to 30mg it gave me the worst headaches for at least 24hrs! It felt like a really bad hangover- I became so sensitive to sounds It was living hell. Never again"


"This medicine gave me diarrhea."


"I started taking adipex 37.5 on 6/23/15. My starting weight was 301. As of 06/25/15 I was at 291! Wow! I am very impressed because I have done NO exercise at all. On the other hand, I have NO desire to eat throughout the day. I eat fruit before I take it and drink plenty of water (helps with the dry mouth too), but today (06/26/15) I am not feeling like myself. I was very jittery and weak. I realized that for the past 4 days I've only eaten 2 bags of chips, 2 bananas, and some grilled chicken. I ate something today and immediately starting feeling better. I think I'm going to try to force myself to eat more because my body is not reacting well."


"My older brother has had schizoprenia since he was 14 years old in 1970's. He has been on many, many medicines with some or little success. He was then put on Clozaril in his thirty's, what a miracle Clozaril was. He was able to live a almost normal life for over 10 years and within 3 days his life went from happy to hell again, because of his blood test result, we tried to get him back on it but due to the special list with people who have reactions to it are not able to ever take it again. My brother is one of the lucky one's though he has a family that totally supports him and encourages him to live and do the best that he can. He lives in a adult facility that takes care of his needs and makes sure he gets his medicines."


"This medication did help improve my mood slightly, but had interactions with other prescription medications I was taking at the same time.  It is very important to inform your doctor about what medicines you are taking and it is also VERY IMPORTANT TO ASK if there are any contraindications with these medications.  This should not be a problem if you have a good relationship with your doctor."


"Ok soo I was suffering from constipation that made me bloat really bad so I decided to take this medicine. I've taken it 2 times before and the first time was pretty bad like this time. The second time I look 2 pills and it wasn't that bad but OMGG this time when I took 3 I felt like I was about to pass out seriously. My mouth kept watering like I was gonna vomit, my stomach was in the worst pain ever! It was honestly almost worse than my gallstone pain and I felt like my head was gonna roll off of my body because I was so weak, my face turned really pale and its just a really bad experience but it does the job. Just really bad side effects."


"I had sling surgery for stress incontinence. I can laugh, cough, sneeze and no leakage. I had minimal urge incontinence, but since the surgery, the urge incontinence is 100% more. I need to go every 30 minutes and have to wear the thickest pad. I have been told that I can retrain my bladder/mind if I hold on until the urge goes away, this may take months to do. I am reluctant to have botox. Has anyone done this?"


"Day 1 of taking Wellbutrin XL, I was the most positive I've been in a long time. I had a very vivid colorful dream that first night, the first time I've ever dreamt in color (that I can remember). The dreams subsided after day one, but the medication continued to make me feel better. I'm about 2 months in, and it's been absolutely amazing in treating my depression. My motivation has drastically skyrocketed, and I feel more positive and optimistic about life."


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


"Have Short Bowel with IBD over 10 years. Tried this medication and felt like a hat was crushing my head the first day than followed by increasing worse headache bordering on migraines. Pain in my stomach was only surpassed by the pain in my back just under the ribcage, probably liver location. Nauseated constantly too. Hate this ridiculously expensive medication"


"Worst pill ever, I had evasive thoughts. I would visualize how I killed people. I never had these types of thoughts before the pill. I was depressive and very angry. Gained eight and acne problems became more severe. My doctor said that they are perfect pills for me, but I quit taking them because I was not myself. All my problems went away when I stopped this pill, best decision of my life."


"Another update: Another month gone and I am maintaining the 31 pound weight loss I had with Belviq. As I mentioned in the last update, I've taken 5 mg (that's one half of one pill) every afternoon since I hit goal. I don't want to go off completely for two reasons. One is that with the reduced dose, while I still feel the effects of reduced appetite and cravings, and not thinking much about food, I do have to put slightly more effort into staying on track. Not a lot, just a little, but I can tell the difference. I think 5 mg is just right for maintenance. Secondly, the good side effects, first and foremost no hot flashes, feeling nice and cool all day and night, sleeping better, and lower heart rate and b/p. Great stuff! So grateful for it!"


"Before I had all kinds of problem like stomach aches and I was scared of everything and I lost 45 pounds. I have been taking Valium for about 10 months and I have gained almost all my weight back and I have no more problems at all."


"I have 4 curves in my back.  Several bulging discs, chronic pain, due to the discs, osteoporosis, lordosis and kyphosis, with spinal stenosis.  Lyrica has been a miracle for me. I have been using a walker for 8 years.  Yesterday I went across the street, came back to my house to get the garden hose, back across the street to water my neighbors plants, and lugged the hose back home.  Suddenly I realized, I forgot my walker.  I completely forgot it.  I wake in the morning, pain free.  I am walking now without the walker, it has also improved my mood.  I used to cry a lot, because I could not do the "normal" things, people my age can do.  I am 50 years old, and have been on disability for 8 years.  I feel like a new person."


"I was diagnosed in 1993 with Fibromyalgia, didn't believe it was a legitimate condition.  With information now available, I have accepted that I do in fact have Fibro.  I don't buy in to taking prescriptions if at all possible, this condition has forced me to seek some relief in the form of RX.  I started Savella a little over a month ago and am thrilled with the results.  Trying to not get too excited, but I really do feel better.  The pain is better, I have a clearer mindset, the fatigue is less and I could not be happier.  I did have dizziness and heart palpitations but they have lessened over time.  I suggest you try if you want some semblance of a life back."


"This is the first time I have used Sumatriptan , it was Arrow-Sumatriptan injection.  I immediately felt a slight pressure in my chest and a pushing in my temples and the base of my skull and felt tired and weak.  There was a tingling sensation in my nose and my throat was ultra sensitive.  It is an hour since I injected and my cluster headache has eased but not gone away yet.  My eye has stopped streaming and nose not running so fast and I look slightly more human.  I had hoped for better than this but it is an improvement."


"I started the injection 1 week ago today! I literally went from being a greedy pig eating anything sweet in sight and drinking several alcoholic beverages per week, to almost nothing now. The medicine stopped my junk food cravings and I don't even want a glass of wine with dinner. I used to skip breakfast & lunch sometimes and overeat for dinner and snacks. Now I'm eating a small dinner and that's about it lol. I have to force myself to eat sometimes! I'm 34 yrs old, 6'2, 243lbs as of last Friday which is the heaviest I've ever been. I haven't weighed myself yet, but I'm certain I've lost weight. I'm using My Fitness Pal to keep my calories below 1500 per day. My side effects: constipation, indigestion, insomnia, regurgitation, nausea"


"I have been taking Epclusa for 2 weeks, the first week was a terrific headache after 1 hr of taking it that subsided now the horrible joint pain and locked joint pain, I've tested positive for RA which is a effect of Hep c, the # are increasing since on med. I have Geno 3 for 30 + yrs, will keep posting"


"I've been taking Lasix for about 10 years for swelling in my feet/ankles. I only have one kidney and have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.  I take 80 mg in the morning.  It does not always take all the swelling out, but if I miss just one dose, I can tell it by the afternoon.  Of course, if I take it in the afternoon, I'm up all night.  NOTE: There IS a difference in taking the Lasix as opposed to the generic furosemide.  For me, the generic is absolutely useless.  My mother had the same problem, so maybe it's genetic.  I've taken as much as 200 mg of generic at one time with no effect whatsoever.  I've noticed no side effects from the Lasix."


"Some nausea, severe vomiting when I first began...better now. It knocks me out pretty quick, so I take it at night along with 300mg of Lamictal and 150mg of Trazodone. The worst side effect I've noticed is EXTREME fatigue. I can't seem to get enough sleep. Otherwise, its definitely a step in the right direction. 2 weeks and counting- If the fatigue thing doesn't let up I'll probably have to stop it and move on to something else (its that bad). Also curbs my appetite considerably."


"I've had acne when I was a teenager, it cleared up during my 20s then came back - with a vengeance - when I was 33. Differin gel and cream has been the BEST stuff I've used and I have used A LOT of different lotions and potions which have cost me a fortune over the years. I'm now 39 and still suffer breakouts but u keep a tube handy for them and it clears them up in a couple of days. I would say to ONLY put it on the papule or pustule and not on any clear skin around them. That's when it will make your skin flake and peel off! If you use on the spots ONLY it will work just fine. I'm also a beauty therapist and I recommend that some of my clients see their GP for it."


"I have been using this gel for just under a month and it seems to be working really well! I'd never had skin problems until I started switching birth controls and then I would get acne around my period - but nothing too bad until I decided to come off birth control completely last summer. BIG MISTAKE. I immediately starting getting bad cystic acne all over my cheeks, chin, and forehead. This cream really really helps clear the discoloration and makes my skin feel and look so smooth. I put it on several times a day - sometimes as much as 4-5x on particularly bad spots. I'm not sure that it necessarily prevents acne, I think that may take longer but so far it works great on clearing up spots quickly and keeping them small and manageable!"


"Mild dizziness, sometimes mildly nauseous which soon settles as the pain eases."


"This is what I've always needed. My mood is lifted, I have energy I never had before, I don't feel sad and helpless anymore, my anxiety has lessened and I'm easier to get along with. This may just save my failing marriage. I was afraid of all the side effect warnings but I only experienced mild nausea for about a week, and for the first few days I woke up intermittently during the night, but could easily fall asleep again almost immediately.  Feeling so much better!"


"My 7 year old son was put on Intuniv for about a month. At first he was having trouble sleeping and moody. He was getting worse in school never smiled, roller coaster mood swings and would cry easily. He even got to a point where he was suicidal. We stopped giving it to him and he is having withdrawal issues. He was only taking 1 mg of Intuniv. He was a lot better on the Focalin. "


"I tried this med and I cant say I had a good experience. I guess it did suppress appetite but it also made me feel really down and tired. I wasn't even able to work out when I was on this med. I took it for 3 days and could not tolerate it any longer. My doctor switched me to Belviq and I love it its wonderful."


"I was lucky enough to get most of the side effects from this drug. For the first two weeks, I lost my ability to walk. My entire body went numb (including my face), I had crippling anxiety, insane nightmares, and all of my major tendons were damaged. I had so much fatigue that I slept 18hrs a day. Thankfully, I was only sick for four months, but I lost my job and had to move back in with my parents. Now, I am okay. 0/10 would recommend. Even if you don't get a reaction the first time you take it, it is NOT WORTH TAKING. My friend's achilles heels ruptured after her fifteenth round having no problems before that. Take another antibiotic or eat some garlic. I had $3000 in med bills"


"I have suffered from depression for the past 7 years of my life, not being able to preform basic functions. Sleeping all the time waking in a panic attack every time I slept. When I was awake my anxiety was so bad I had to hide from not only people but noise and light. The only thing that seemed to help was scratching at the walls. I've tried every anti-depressant out there and nothing has worked as great as Cymbalta. It's the first time in a 7 year depression /anxiety that I could start to feel alive again and wow! does it work for anxiety and panic. Totally gone! However the depression still lurks but doesn't keep me down. Cymbalta took about 10 weeks to fully kick in."


"I only had one side effect, which was nausea, the morning after the night I took it, and only that one time. I have had zero other side effects, and the nausea hasn't come back. I am very happy with this, especially got being my first try with birth control."


"I started aubra and it had the same dose of estrogen and progestin. I noticed the first weeks I was very emotional. I cry over a lot of things because I'm just naturally a sensitive person but the first two weeks were pretty sad. My period either lasted 5 days with heavy to light bleeding, or a week with moderate bleeding. I never break out, and when I do it's once every blue moon. As for weight gain.. that's natural when taking birth control. The first time I gained 10 pounds but I am also an active person and go to the gym daily, so I lost it pretty quickly. I've been on aubra for 3 years now. So far no complaints, but definitely I would recommend to give it a little over a month to see if it's for you."

"This is a great pill if you want to significantly shorten your period, but not so great if you want clear skin or minimal PMS symptoms. The acne is ridiculous, and in my experience, it made me break out all throughout the month, not just around the time of my period. The mood swings were extremely noticeable. My boyfriend and I have never fought as much as when I was on this pill.
 "


"This has done wonders on my severe eye allergies. It doesn't sting at all but has almost a cooling sensation for about a minute after using the drops. It works really well and quickly."


"I was a 12 a day smoker for about 20 years. I'm on the third week taking this medicine and I've cut down to 2 cigs a day. I like the energy it gives me, but the food cravings are wild, although I have not gained weight. The first couple of days I felt nausea. The constipation is not great, but I've been taking fiber supplements.  I don't feel my usual happy spunky self though. I want to completely stop smoking and get off these meds soon. Cross my fingers!"


"I've been on Linzess, the low dose, for about a month now. I had diarrhea the first day every couple of hours but I had no bloating, gas or that horrible stabbing pain. Over the first week hurdle I noticed that the more water I drank at the time I took my medicine the more the likelihood of diarrhea was. So I wake early in the morning, take it, and go back to sleep and this way I've been able to tell when I will go which is usually 30 minutes after I eat. This medicine has been life changing I feel almost normal, have energy again and most of all I don't have that dooming hopelessness. I go about three times a day and like real going. Although some days I experience a little pain at night but nothing compared to restless nights."


"My starting weight on 1/3/2015 was 274lbs, as of today it is 249lbs. Since being on it, my Type 2 Diabetes has been under control.  I no longer am taking my medications.  I work out 7 days a week and burn an average of 750 calories daily and I eat a 1430 calorie diet."


"I found this medicine to be very effective. Of course, everyone's tolerance to pain medication is different, but for me, when Tylenol #3, Vicodin, Naproxen Sodium, and Ibuprofen didn't seem to help even in the slightest bit, but tramadol was a great relief for me. I am grateful to find something that helped my chronic pain problem. I am very careful to only use it when necessary for pain."

"I have been on the shot for almost a month now and have had nothing but negative side effects. I am 18 years old and this is the first birth control I have ever been on, so that could be why I have had so many problems. I feel nauseous all day, my face broke out with terrible acne, and my mood has gone from happy to depressed. Sometimes I just sit there and cry for no reason. Others may have a positive experience with this, but it is not for me. If my symptoms do not get better, then I will not be getting the second shot."


"This medicine is somewhat effective for me. I made the mistake of taking it before bed (I wish my doctor had warned me) and experienced a racing heart/was up most of the night. It did clear my sinuses, but not for 12 hours straight. I woke up at around 6 am (having taken the medicine around 11 pm) with my nose entirely clogged again. I'm going to take Mucinex D again today, but not at night. I guess I'll just have to suffer tonight rather than be a complete insomniac."


"Dropped total number down 86 points teamed only with red yeast rice supplements.  10 mg per day with dinner.  I live in Phienix so can't tell if Zetia causing sweat or Phx heat but it has worked great.  Very active life and no known side effects.  Mail prescription plan costs 40.00 for 90 days."


"I'm 48 and have fibromyalgia, been taking amitriptyline for 10 yrs to manage the pain. Since being on the medication, started losing the normal morning erections, my Dr believed this was a side effect of the medication. As I got into my 40's it started to take longer to achieve an erection and slowly became where it would not last.  It finally got to a point where I could not maintain an erection during intercourse. Then as of 4 months ago I could not even have sex, could not reach ejaculation. So I talked with my Dr. and ran the usual blood work which came back fine. I had a testosterone level of 950, normal blood pressure and cholesterol, etc.  I took 5mg tablet and instantly I was hard and lasted for close to 2 hrs. Problem solved."


"I ma 30yrs old and had skyla inserted in me just a bit over a month ago. Although everyone's experience is different due to different bodies and such, my experience I would say wasn't painful but uncomfortable (feeling a bit violated) for a lack of better words. First few days I was sporting, followed by my 5daybperiod, followed by more spoting on and off. Its been a month and about a week now and no dark red almost brown chunk like doscharges but I'm not sure if I'm out of the woods yet. Still trying to see and decide if this is still a good choice for me, so far I am rating it a 7 for first time experience, with all the discomfort and spoting on and off. I'll coment again after my 2nd month and see where I'm at with it."


"Mirapex (Pramipexole) is truly a wonder, it takes away 99% of my symptoms if taken early evening.  I've used it for 10 years or more now and it hasn't failed me until lately, as my dose is now at 1mg at night and 0.5mg in the morning.  My symptoms do come up early enough to get me out of bed in the morning once in a rare while."


"I am a 56 year old RN, have smoked a total of 30 years with a 15 year break before starting again 5 years ago. I love smoking, so this has been difficult, but due to a strong family history of cancer and COPD, I am going to try and stick with the Chantix regimen. So far my side effects have included vivid scarey dreams, gas and bloating, distractibility/difficulty concentrating, irritability, and a 10 lb weight gain in 2 weeks on the medication. The weight gain bothers me the most, as I have gone up 2 jeans sizes in that time period, but quitting smoking highly outweighs the side effects. My goal is to quit by my son's high school graduation June 10th. Good luck to all who are pursing this goal!"


"I have suffered insomnia for many years and have tried numerous drugs on this list. Most of which failed to provide any relief.  After just one dose of Seroquel XR, I slept a full 8 hours, and even took a nap during the day.  My mood has changed, and I feel so much healthier now that I am able to get good, sound, NORMAL sleep.  Two thumbs up for Seroquel XR.  I highly recommend you discuss this drug with your physician if you are having CHRONIC trouble sleeping, NOT casual sleeping problems.  It has changed my life.  I hope this helps some other insomniacs out there who have been suffering for years, the way I had been.  BEST OF LUCK to all of you."


"I took every medicine known to man for my cholesterol and had very bad side effects including not being able to walk at all. I started taking simvastatin about a year ago as a last resort and I love it. I have had no side effects and I can actually walk with no problems."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Pradaxa for a couple of weeks now. (150 mg a day). I have had no major side effects. Just some heartburn, (that went away after taking it for about a week) and some stomach issues. But nothing so severe that I would stop taking it and go back to Lovenox shots everyday. In the past I have been on Coumadin (once a day for 2 years) and Lovenox injections (once a day for 1 year) Pradaxa is by FAR the best blood thinner! "


"Good! "


"I'm reading a lot of bad reviews and the common complaint is Burning, itchy and swelling. Well if you read the pamphlet before using you will see in fine print it says may cause burning, itching and swelling due to the medicine actually doing its job. I rather feel that then the most annoying itch ever in my vagina. I find the one day treatment works better than those 7 day treatments and I would buy again but hopefully I won't need it either ever again or for a very very long time cause vaginal itching is the worst. I would give this review a 10 but it cost $20.00 lol. But I understand for something to be cured its gonna cost."


"Xanax is the "devil drug". I have taken it for over 15 years and it has done nothing but make things worse. For those of you saying it's a miracle drug, please do your research!!! It ruins your brain chemistry and Is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE.(I can't stress that enough) For those who have been taking the drug for over a couple of months, your gonna have horrible withdrawal symptoms when you decide to stop. Benzodiazepines are the ONLY drug that you can actually die coming off of! Trust me!!"


"I am on it for the second time. The first time I thought the medication alone was going to keep me from using but I soon found out it wouldn't. Now on it for the second time I not only take Suboxone I also see go through drug counseling, go to NA and AA. I have completely changed my way of life. For me this was a must. I now have 2 yrs clean and sober. Of course there is ups and downs to all things but I have found this medication to be a vital tool in my tool box. I would recommend anyone struggling with an opiate addiction to at least give it a try. Recovery is possible!"


"It truly has helped to keep my RRMS in check...after trying many therapies over eight years to slow progression. I have been on Novantrone for about 2 years now. The full doses are trying but once the treatment is cut into half doses it is very manageable."


"I am on my 5-th month of Tuberculosis treatment. Taking Isoniazid with combination of Rimfampin and Vit. B6. It is very difficult time for me, because since the beginning of taking this medication I'm experiencing very strong mood changes, I'm very nervous and anxious. Can't sleep at night. I never read about the anxiety side effects of Isoniazid, but I have one since the start of the treatment. No gastrointestinal side effects though."


"Hello I started taking this medicine combination phentermine 37.5/ topamax 50mg every morning on 5/13/2017 and I weighed 348lb and now its been one month and I am weighing in at 332lb. I have not had any cravings for sweets or any heavy meals. My appetite has been decreased I eat one or two protein filled snacks and a light meal with some carbs. Although I really don't have the taste for carbs. I feel very thirsty I drink nothing but water all day. For exercise, I walk 30 minutes 3 to 5 days a week. Really nothing big on the exercise side. I felt really tired at first and didn't  do too much. I hope to be able to lose 100 pounds more so that I can be more active and my goal is to run in a marathon race by next year."


"It saved my life. No more sleeping at my desk. I have had very little trouble with side effects. I learned to make sure 2 hours lapses after I eat before I take It so it will work."


"I've been taking Dulcolax whenever I get constipated. It only takes about 20 min for the drug to take effect on me but sometimes, longer. It has worked well for me. I did get cramps but they were totally bearable. It works differently for ech person. I suggest that if you wanna try it, just brace yourself and give it a chance."


"Have been using the cream for about a week, on my jawline/cheek where after several months of failed creams, face washes, I was recommended this cream by my gp.
Admittedly it has left my skin v.dry and is getting flakey, but is also getting rid of the acne. Be careful that you do wash your hands afterwards, and not to touch affected area after applying cream, as I have unwittingly the first 2/3 nights caused the cream to spread to areas where I have no acne, causing the skin to dry out.
Am interested to see as others have commented before, as to whether or not the dryness eases up after my skin acclimatises to the cream. Would definitely recommend intense moisturising on affected area."


"Im on ths birth control And it cleared up my face. I still get some pimples around my period tho but nothing too major"


"I'm 22yrs old and have been dealing with acne since about 13yrs old. I've been on Tri-Sprintec for almost two years now and what a difference. It has to be the best birth control I've ever been on. No gaining weight, mood changes, and my face stays clear even when it is that time of the month.  Life changing."


"I've absolutely loved Nexplanon. The pill isn't a good option for me because I don't take it consistently, and vaginal implants are difficult because of my vaginismus. Since I got this product, I've loved not having to give my birth control even a cursory thought. My skin hasn't changed, my weight pattern is the same as before. I've had three periods since I got the implant a year ago. I consider myself lucky, though - I have a naturally high metabolism, my skin has been clear for years, and I've never had really heavy periods. So my risk factors for side effects are negligible."


"Started taking 6 months ago and it appears to be doing an effective job of managing my rosacea. Still get an occasional outbreak, but not as noticeable. Unfortunately the cost is a killer, with insurance the annual cost is over $2,000. May need to find something else."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I managed to get the first dose down, but I had to keep fighting the urge to throw up.  I was up at 4 AM for my 2nd dose and couldn't keep it down.

I took my first sip and promptly threw up.  I could keep anything down and was sick for the next 3 hours.

I had to cancel my appointment and reschedule it for the following month.  The doctor gave me a different product to take and hopefully it will do a better job."


"I was 13 when i got my first epiduo, i suffered from serious painful burning on my cheek/chin, it was so bad,i couldnt wear foundation,moisturising cream because it stung because it felt like it scraped loads of my skin off, i have been using it for about  1-2 months and i cannot see a differance,the doctor said its the best going spot treatment, i wouldnt really reccomend it,and im on my 2nd perscription of epiduo now"


"Prescribed 300 mg at bedtime for insomnia and pain. However still taking 200 mg of trazodone and 1 mg of clozepam. New doctor took me off tramadol and couple others so wants to wait month before any more changes. I do have to discontinue clozepam but not yet. I am sleeping 12 hours. But rested when wake up and side effects are better today. Anyone have suggestion so I don't sleep so long?"


"This is my fourth month in Junel 1/20. I used to be on Gildess & was switched to this after it was discontinued. I have to take a low hormone birth control because all other birth controls have given me extreme sickness. This birth control has worked very well for me. Light periods which are regular and predictable. I don't think this birth control has made me gain weight and if anything my skin looks good. I just feel normal which is a good thing. I do have anxiety problems so it's hard to tell if the birth control has been effecting that. I do have to say I've had some constipation but don't know if it is related to the pill and also slightly lowered sex drive but again not 100% sure if that's related to the pill."


"I suffered from chronic itch all my life tried almost every other antihistimine to the point I had to start with prednisone every 3 months for a week to get rid of the itch over my whole body eyes running nose I would have such severe itch that I just could not function normaly got 4 hours or less sleep a day. I now use this medicine for 2 days now, after one hour I took the medicine I felt my eyes not itching and my skin feels much better to the point its liveable.  Now I hope this will keep working even after some time because all previous medication would only work a few days a week tops so if this will continue to work I can finaly start my life. I'm 22 years old and I finaly have new hope now thank you fexofenadine!"


"Other than feeling sedated and lower than normal blood pressure/heart rate for a while, it affects my memory, vision (one pupil dialated and the other one was smaller)..shakes like it's making anxiety worse. I don't like it."


"I suffered a brain injury from a work related injury about 3 years ago. What I was suffering from the doctor says was acute ADHD onset from brain damage. I could not concentrate, I was a bundle of nerves, I would argue with my family of little things it just didn't make sense. I couldn't accomplish any tasks at home. It was an awful experience. My doctor wanted to try me on Adderall and what a transformation. I am my old self again, I enjoy being with my family and playing ball with my son although I can't stay out long. I can concentrate on my work at hand. It also will make you not sleepy if you take it late at night. I take 30mg twice a day. It actually saved my life."


"I suffer from bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, mood swings, etc. I have been on Lamictal for about three weeks and I am taking 150 gm a day and I already feel better than I have felt in years and this is just the beginning. I am having no side effects and I am feeling so much better I can't wait until it becomes full circle and I feel the full effects of Lamictal. Love it, there is hope. Don't give up I am also taking Paxil 20mg."


"I had Botox for overactive bladder six weeks ago and it's been nothing more than a nightmare for me.  My main issues were frequency and bladder spasms and the Botox has only worsened these issues.  I initially experienced a great deal of bleeding with large clots for 12 hours which I was unaware could occur - only slight spotting had been mentioned.  Within a week I could no longer urinate and a Foley catheter was inserted.  Six weeks on, my bladder remains seized and despite a number of attempts to remove the catheter, my bladder hasn't improved. I have had two uti's and been admitted to the emergency dept for severe bladder trauma, urine retention and uti.  I have suffered extreme anxiety as a result of all of this. It's not for everyone!"


"I have been using vaniqa for about 9 weeks now I can say this cream is absolutely life changing it has faded my dark patches I used to shave twice a day now I'm plucking out the odd few hair it's boosted back my confidence"


"I always see bad reviews about Lyza but I've been taking it for almost a year and a half. I never really experienced bad side effects like bleeding for an extended period of time or weight gain. The only thing I've noticed was a very irregular period (mine was already irregular before I started) but it'll just be off by a week or so. If you are good with taking pills on time, I highly recommend!"


"Broad spectrum antiparasitic that works by paralyzing the invader so it loses its grip and is flushed out safely and without releasing its internal contents which can cause aggravating reaction to toxins within.

Well tolerated, safe, and effective against many different types of parasites some of which are still unidentified.

Not effective for pinworm, hookworm, or trichinosis but when combined with subsequent albenzadole or mebenzadole use will erradicate the majority of offending known and some unknown parasites.

Be sure to use as directed and do a short course follow up retreatment as it may not work against eggs or cysts forms which may take 7-14 days to hatch.

This medicine has a long half life and doses tend to be cumulative for days"


"I was experiencing headaches, like by brain was wound tight w a Rubberband, didn't want to get our of bed, no reason to... my dr prescribed pristiq.  It has been a life changer... head feels much better, depression is gone, life is happy again.... side effects are flu like symptoms, crashing, if I miss a dose.   I take a .25 mg.  I ha e tried to come off before and experienced severe headaches and flue like symptoms, and severe body aches.. so I got back on...  it is expensive but I buy a 90 day generic  supply thru Canadian pharmacy for 120.00.  Ins doesnt pay due to out of the country but it is still less than what I wld have to pay in the us.."


"I have needed blood transfusion every 2 months , more if I want , iron My level is very low since on Eliquis"


"The packaging is HORRIBLE!  Take a page from Vagifem and work on the delivery!"


"I just switched birth controls today, but I was previously on my fourth month with Gildess. The first month was great. Very light period, barely any cramping, and barely any symptoms. I have endometriosis, so the first month was a dream come true. However, after that first month it was awful. I felt bloated all the time, I had insane breast tenderness, and I was incredibly irritable and anxious for absolutely no reason. My period was regular and super light, but the symptoms were horrible. My doctor said that my symptoms were due to the progesterone, and she switched my dose today. I am really hoping it helps! I know everyone is different, but I would recommend switching if things don't timrpove after  three months. No use being miserable!"


"Used Symbicort for a few years and was very pleased with it but  then I tried the Breo Ellipta. I thought Symbicort was very good but the Breo was out standing. I felt like I did 20 years ago before all of this started. I could mow the yard and function without any moments of shortness of breath - it is a really great treatment. The Tudorza Pressair (aclidinium bromide) just doesn't work. I felt light headed a lot and had a difficult time concentrating - felt very tired with it, and it just isn't working. The Breo is so very expensive - wish there was a way to get it without deciding if you are going to buy food or your Breo medication."


"I have had BV since my daughter was born. 8 years. Metro both pills and gel would not cut it. Finally I'm on tindasole and I feel the pain from BV going away! My stomach cramps were unbarable! The next day I felt better! BUT I googled this "why do I taste metal" and I smell it too. This site popped up! So glad to hear it works! My teeth hurt too. No nausea tho..a few sharp pains. But, could be related to my hernia issues. Hope this helps! I am taking 2 pills daily for 7 days. I will report back when I go into ob for results."


"I got the device inserted on May 2, 2017. My doctor advised me to take ibuprofen 1 hour before the procedure. I'm glad I did. It was a crampy feeling after and I bled a little then it stopped. I got mine I  1 week before my period. When my period started it did not stop for 2 months! Light, medium and heavy flow. I had no idea what the day would be. It's been a few weeks and no period. I break out with acne some and get bloated but nothing major. It's worth it not having a period."


"I wish I knew about this medication years ago.  It has been a year this month and I have had tremendous results.  My husband is shocked.  This was very scary for me to try because I always was told that I should use alternate ways to relieve my symptoms.  My mother and grandmother suffered from PMDD and I wish they had this option.  I highly recommend it, especially for those who do everything else; eating right and exercising."


"Drysol is great! I been reading for those who said it did not work at all, this is a product you don't use one night and hope the next day you don't sweat. You must use it for 3 days in a row at first. Then you can go down to once a week. I just use mild but there is extra strength now, if mild did not work then maybe try extra strength. I still get a tiny bit of odor but I just put on body powder or dab slightly deodorant. But it's so nice to wear a light colored top or a dry clean only fabric and no sweat shows, I can now raise my arms without shame. Fantastic."


"I'm a disabled vet due to migraines and have been on many medicines to both prevent and treat.  I have botox injections every 90 days and a constant supply of Imitrex injections to which I take approx 8 times a months.  I notice a HUGE difference when taking the nortriptyline (75mg a night).  I love that it helps me sleep.  I just can't forget to take it, if I do: hello migraine."


"Good but not very effective for me (pain related to Lupus)..especially in low doses. I've never taken opiates before and with this I still find myself in pain. I do better with Toradol."
