"Good Morning Everyone
I am sacred  that I am dying, the Dr's tell me I'm not but my intuition and my body are telling me different. I have been suffering from acid reflux for a few yrs now not knowing it because I don't have acid coming back up or gas or any other usual symptoms. The symptoms for me is my breathing is getting increasingly more difficult and wheezing non stop and persistant coughing with constant chest infections because my lungs are drowning in fluid. This is how I was told I have Gerd .. Dr put me on Dexilant 60mg daily, have been on now for 7 days feel nothing .. no change what so ever except extreme shoulders and upper back pain cannot raise my arms to put a shirt on without it bringing tears. I'm 53 yrs young."


"Had to w/d from MAO (difficult) it worked well as I am medication resistant. Tried brintellix but "hyped" me up. Now on day five of Lexapro 5mgs. Feeling nauseated but not bad. Sedated but can't rest due to high anxiety. Does this improve. Feeling so desperate:("


"I've been taking reclipsen for almost two years. The first 3 months I threw up every morning. To this day, each pill I take I experience nausea. I hate it. I realize now it's not me and just the pill. I stopped taking it for a month and felt so much better. Also, I have no sex drive anymore so I guess it does it's "job.""


"I have been suffering with mild stomach pains and occasional diarrhea for 9 months. I am now half way through a 10 day course of this medicine and it seems to be working, touch wood. The side effects have been extreme diarrhea and vomiting
but if it does the trick then this is a small price to pay."


"2007 - Put on 750 mg/day of Depakote alongside Lithium 800 mg/day.  Killed libido stone dead.  Did not help stabilise mood but worked away destabilising good lithium effect.  Found this out after stopping Depakote 2014.  Depakote has caused prostate cancer which was removed by radical prostatectomy June 2014.  So it has caused me to be severely incontinent now, with erectile dysfunction.  This month June 2016 it has been confirmed I have Multiple Myeloma a blood cancer.  Depakote is the suspected trigger again.  These effects result from being put on Depakote for seven years with no investigation of physical symptoms being reported to "psychiatric professionals""


"I've been using Ogen for the past 5 years and really cannot live a normal life without it. I had a total hysterectomy at 32 years of age, was on Premarin for about 15 years knowing the ingredients, then on Estratest for about 2 years before going cold turkey without anything for 2 years. Those 2 years were hard. I just wanted to go to the top of a building and jump off. I tried other natural things, but they didn't work. I finally went to a Doctor in Canada to get an prescription for Ogen. Now I discover that it is no longer being manufactured. Someone needs to start re-manufacturing it - PLEASE !"


"I have been on a lot of different medications for Depression. Some were awful and terrible, while others were ok or tolerable, and there was even one where I thought that was as good as it's going to get. I was on that a long time. Then, my doctor suggested this. Wow! I can think clearly!! It's definitely a great medication. I have yet to see side effects and I've been taking it for about 6 months."


"Geodon is wonderful for me. For a very long my mind was cluttered with particular obsessions. I couldn't think straight. I've tried Luvox, Anafranil and a few other augmenters, nothing worked. Now, I take a low dose of Geodon 40mg a day with 300mg Luvox--and have success. It's not a total cure, but, I would say symptoms are 70-80% better."


"Zoloft brought me out of agoraphobia! It's a wonder drug I'd still be in my room if not for this drug"


"When first diagnosed w/rosacea I had the occasional papules/pustules, some redness. It was not bad enough that it bothered me that much. Fast forward about 7 years the outbreaks became unbearable. My face was in a constant state of rebellion with never ending break outs. So I tried azelaic acid...did NOTHING. Tried MetroGel...did NOTHING. I went to my PCP for this treatment since I did not have 6 months to wait to get back in with my dermatologist, I asked her if she would call in Soolantra as a last ditch effort & she did. I saw it especially helps those w/the papules/pustules. Give this a try if nothing else has worked. My face is 100% clear as long as I apply each night. This cream is life changing. Use coupon for savings on copay."


"I'll be honest, I read the leaflet and still went ahead and lied down after 5-10 of having taken the pill. The first 7 days it didn't seem to bother me much, but now I'm feeling a hint of heartburn. The medication kicked my dental abscess!
Great pill, but don't be like me, a dummy, and put little stock into the warnings. Take it properly!"


"Made me feel drowsy after taking it but then after going to bed it made me have that mixed feeling of drowsiness and insomnia. I had a terrible night using it!"


"I'm 19 and have been on this pill for 4 months now and have realized many changes. Some pros are that my acne has cleared up and excess hair slowed its growth rate but the cons outweigh the pros. I have terrible mood swings, headaches and nausea when i never had that before. My sex drive is nearly non existent. My periods are more controlled but they are very heavy and leave me very tired. I have gained 15 pounds in 4 months despite getting 2 hours of exercise almost everyday.
I thought this pill would help my hormones levelled and help my depression, but has made my relapses far between but much more intense when they happen.

overall, it gets the job done, but if you can, try a different pill."


"I can't believe all the great ratings for this. Maybe my skin is just extremely sensitive, but this was the most painful injection I've ever had in my entire life. I choose though over belly, and I actually screamed so loudly I'm sure I scared everyone in the reception area. I was not at all prepared for it to hurt as much as it did. The unexpected sharp pain only made my headache worse, and even paired with a shot of Demerol my headache did not clear."


"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 son started running a mild fever (100.2), and I took him to the doctor the same day. He tested positive for Flu B, so the Dr prescribed Tamiflu. I also started feeling sick the same day, so I started Tamiflu as well. We both took our double dose that same day. The next day my son woke up with a mild fever, but it went away without Advil or Tylenol. I woke up feeling 10xs better than I did the day before. We have been continuing our tamiflu twice daily, and plan on finishing it. We are on day 3. I think the people who have negative reviews, for one did not start it soon enough, and two you have to finish all of your tamiflu as prescribed. You can't stop, because you feel better. It was worth the price for us! Amazing stuff!"


"I was on this for about 6 months when I was 15. It's the only thing that has worked for me. I was able to go to school. Had great relationships with everyone. Only had one bad mood swing and I was having them everyday before I got on it. But I also gained 20 pounds and I could never get enough to eat. I've tried about everything and this was the only thing that helped. It doesn't make you feel funny or blank like a lot of them. But if you eat healthy and can ignore the always wanting something to eat feeling, this is an amazing medicine and will change your life."


"I am 31 years old and just started taking this medicine 10 weeks ago.  I don't even know how to express the jail I was in before this medication.  For the first time in 30 years I don't have to worry about what the weather will be like and being embarrassed from the bumps on my face.  It sometimes doesn't even matter if it is cold, just a slight breeze or air conditioning can cause it.  I have been freed from jail.  More exciting is I'm able to share this with my 78 year old grandmother, my 60 year old father, uncle, my brother and hopefully with my kids one day.  AMAZING!"


"I am a 31 year old female that has had toenail fungus for over 10 years. My big and little toe on the same foot. I went to the doctor about 2 months ago after my big toe became very painful, (it was throbbing like a toothache) as embarrassed as I was, something had to be done!  He prescribed me the Lamisil. Side Effects ~ I had loss of appetite that sadly only lasted a week. Twice I had a little stomach cramping and the first week or so was a little bit more tired than usual, but have had no side effects since. I'm on my 38th day. I am extremely happy to say that I see beautiful nail now growing! They won't be perfect until my nail grows completely out, which could take 6 months, but its working!"


"My blood pressure was very high. I went to the Doctor the other day and it was 118/68. I asked the nurse is that TOO low?  because I don't remember it being that low before....I like it."


"The pill  itself is fine..but the package is ridiculous. .the pills are too hard to get out of the package..i had to cut..poke with knive and scissors  etc..please make a more user friendly package  or just put in a bottle..having  arthritis  and less flexibility in my hands..it was impossible  to get the pill out in a solid piece....its most likely my only purchase  of slow fe unless i can find one in different  package"


"I used Synthroid (25, 50 or 75 for over more than 10 years, but had to use the original, not the generic because generic does not work in some people.  I've not been operated, but for over 2 years I've been using NatureThroid (32.5) instead which was recommended by my ND and have to say that all my side effects that Synthroid caused, had gone.  I almost lost all my hair and had terrible heart beats, headaches, joint pains, etc.  I do not have hashimoto, and really don't know if it works for people with this condition, but I tried NatureThroid and I am very happy with the results."


"Anyone else have trouble keeping their hand out of the refrigerator?After several months of taking this stuff the hunger pangs are getting worse, not less."


"I had been constipated for a couple of days and had a package of Dulcolax in my medicine cabinet. I took one at about 3pm and instantly started feeling nauseous. For the next couple hours I had horrible cramps that felt like someone was stabbing me. After about 6 hours I finally went but it was diarrhea. All night that night I was up having diarrhea. For the next couple days I felt horrible and couldn't eat any food without feeling sick. Long story short, Dulcolax works to relieve constipation but the pain is excruciating."


"I will say this for the people in the back, "THIS PILL WILL MAKE YOU HATE YOURSELF."  I started taking Junel because my period lasted for 14 days.  With Junel I as able to get down to 4-6 days and it has been fantastic.  I recently decided to stop taking it because it makes my anxiety a monster that I or my wife do not want to face.  I am emotionally and mentally all over the place.  My wife was previously on Junel and not only did it make her anxiety fly through the roof, but deep dark thoughts do float around in some women who take Junel.  I would advise extreme caution when taking hormones.  It can make you a very unhappy person."


"My first time we did my neck and trapezeus along with my head. I recommend staying away from the neck area due to very sore neck for several weeks. Now we just do 31 injections all in my scalp and back of head. No problems and I have been doing this over a year or two now. Reduced my headaches from 4 per week to maybe 1 or 2."


"it's pretty damn great! it makes me feel so much better. although it causes significant weight loss. i was 5'3 100 pounds (on the verge but fine considering my frame) but now i'm 89lbs. so yeah that's not good. if you're tiny like me naturally, i wouldn't recommend...but i tried every drug on the planet and the side effects are worth it. i just have to force myself to eat more"


"been on it for 5 months, its awkward not having my period at all, but it's awesome to not be pregnant again. No issues so far, im happy that I don't even have to think about the implant, it's just there. perfect FOR ME."


"I've been taking Soma for one week. It works. Fell from a horse 25 years ago - chronic back spasms. Tried Flexeril, Robaxin and Skelaxin. This works best. Flexeril comes in 2nd. I did notice some disorientation while driving. Not sure if it is a combination of Chantix and Soma, or only one. I can sleep almost through the entire night - what a relief!"


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host

"I first was inflicted with Herpes Simplex in my right eye over 35 year ago. Treatment then consisted of getting rid of the virus including steroids and then weening off all meds. Much similar now but Dr. prescribed Acyclovir to protect against the re-occurance. Ever since I started taking the drug, my eye socket aches, my eye waters and is red, plus I get occasional  hot flash. My Dr has cut my dose in half from 400ml to 200 ml. but i still have the symptoms. I will go back and request an alternative medication."


"I've been on seroquel XR 50mg for the past 8 months for Generalised Anxiety Disorder and intrusive racing thoughts. Only take it in the evening before bedtime.

This helps me sleep through the night and not wake up in the middle of the night with panic/anxiety issues!

It is somewhat sedating, and do have issues waking up in the morning, but coffee helps. I didn't gain any weight on it as it helps me get going during the day on things that would usually drive me into a panic situation! I actually enjoy going out for walks and socialising now as opposed to being apprehensive and terrified of (insert intrusive thoughts)!

Needs some adjustments occasionally; on weeks I'm doing well I only take half of the 50mg dose and do Ok."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"This is the ONLY birth control pill that's been effective for me; I tried around 4 other pills before I discovered this one. No breakthrough bleeding (one of the biggest problems I had with the other pills) and it's made my periods so much lighter (I used to bleed through tampons and pads and now my period is way lighter). I haven't gotten pregnant so I guess it's also doing what it's supposed to do, lol. Another bonus: I used to get painful cystic acne on my chin whenever it was my time of the month, and since beginning this pill I haven't had to deal with any acne whatsoever! The only problem I have with it is that I cry a bit more than I used to, but I don't really mind."


"I loved this pill at the beginning, highly recommend it for young adults that are going through late teen puberty , it was great to start off on as a BC but after three  going on 3 1/2  years I began to notice my anxiety levels shot through the roof at the week before my period. I kept brushing it off as PMS but it started to become worse after I began to dread taking the pill after the 2 weeks of the pack, knowing my third week was coming up. Long term it did what a birth control is suppose to do, clear acne, didn't gain much weight (I'm very petite) and had my periods every month. Just know after 3 years I definitely started to get tired of a pill changing my moods HEAVILY. May be biased opinion but would not recommend to stay on this pill for Years"


"My mother is 88 and has had a problem with Ambien for the four or so years she has started taking it. She ran over a bunch of signs in the middle of the highway with no memory of it. She got lost twice before we realized it was the Ambien and not Dementia. I keep it away from her and administer it each night. She is like a drug addict as she has reported her pills lost and got duplicate prescriptions sent to her. I think it is too strong for older people!"


"Baclofen, has changed my life. CP suffer back surgery , spinal athritis , pinched nerves in my neck. And lower back, before baclofen, 6 panadine forte a day, now I take 3 . 10 mg tabs per day.  Of baclofen No more back spasms. Might take 4 panadine forte a week now. Have been on endep for 2 years. But it doesn't compare. Wonderful ."


"I got the Nexplanon put in last June, so it has been almost a year. I had many friends rave about how awesome it was and how they rarely got periods from it. I didn't have a period for a few weeks, but ever since then my periods have been back and they have been worse. I bleed more than I did when I first started taking birth control. I use a Diva Cup and when I was on the pill I would barely fill 1/3 of it in 12 hours now there are times where it over flows in TWO. My cramps are awful, my breasts are always sore, and I've had to up my medicine for depression and anxiety. I would not recommend this to anyone."


"nausea"


"I waited for 14 months after a positive HCV 1 a, stage 2 viral load 3,700,000 to 4,700,000 in 12 months.  Waited for good balance for blood pressure. Quit alcohol. Been clean and sober for 14+ months, had liver ultra sound. Started Harvoni 6 weeks ago. 8 week treatment. At the 4 week checkup Viral Load was undetectable!!!!!  Some typical side effects : occasional fatigue, loose stool, take trazidone for insomnia.  Best way to have a real successful treatment:  NO alcohol. Get clean and stay that way. Harvoni is the answer to cure HEP!"


"I can't believe how great this medicine works. I have had psoriasis since I was 12 years ol. I am now 58 and finally I am clear of the scales and red patches."


"Just started Victoza for weight loss and to lower my a1c and for weight loss. Just upped my dose today to 1.6. So far, so good.  First day: diarrhea and a slight headache with a little nausea. I haven't noticed any difference yet in this higher dose as compared to the smallest dose. Still have diarrhea and a little nausea. Surprisingly, I have much more energy than usual. Love that and the fact that on my 5th day I have already lost 6 pounds! I have no complaints as of now. I hope it stays this way and the weight loss continues. Will post as I get further into it."


"I get really bad migraines frequently and end up in the ER on most occasions.  Every time I go they give me Benadryl and Reglan through an IV.
I have to go through this every time I'm there for a migraine. There's only one medicine that helps me and its called Nubain. But for some reason they always have to try the Benadryl cocktail first. Then they try morphine. I never get any relief from these other drugs. I never suffered any bad side effects either because they don't phase me.
Try Nubain if the Benadryl cocktail don't work. It gives instant relief.."


"Love the medication itself BUT the plastic is too hard to satisfactorily press to get two or even sometimes one drop to release. I hope they address this immediately because the cost of the medication Vs the questionable ability to apply is making me rethink using it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"So i had to start this at 4pm the day before the colonoscopy, and let me tell you, NASTIEST tasting thing ive ever had to ingest. Very strong taste which is semi nauseating. Got the first bottle down and it took about a half hour for it to kick in. Once it kicked in, there was no stopping. It made my stomach very upset the next day which made it 20 times harder to finish the second bottle. Over all very effective but one of the worst tastes ive ever tasted."


"They work so good for me. I don't know what I would do without it. "


"I have some wierd combinations of "illnesses" I take this to help with PTSD, OCD, and ADHD. I am doing so much better overall, and better than any other drug I've tried for PTSD, so I am happy with this drug."


"Doctor proscribed this for my period (heavy flow and bad cramps) Started on a Wednesday afternoon and that night I already had stomach aches, nausea and an anxiety attack trying to sleep. Slept maybe 4 hours that night. From then to Friday had these same side effects and they seemed to switch intensities each day such as more anxiety on the 3rd day but the day before worse stomach aches. These two days I had to miss school activities and even leave school early from these side effects. Saturday the patch folded and I had to take it off. Going to try again on a Friday this time, and hope the side effects fade with time. The only good thing I experienced was that I'd be tired enough to sleep at a good time and not stay up too late."


"Worst reaction to a drug I ever had.  Horrible 24 hrs after taking the first 25mg sample. Severe stomach ache, bloating and cramping.  Severe, extreme dizziness...and the drug blocked my morphine and gave me horrible opioid withdrawal effects.  I was close to going to the ER but kept telling myself it would be over soon.  It didn't happen for 30 hrs.  Felt like passing out...I was a mess.  I take a lot of meds for chronic lyme, fibro and chronic crps pain. I would never take this again.  What has helped me is the otc diet pill ALLI which blocks fat from absorbing in the stomach and linzess.  The movantik was a horrible experience for me and will never take again.... opioid withdrawal symptoms are awful."


"I have had Implanon since August 2010 and love it. It is not for everyone of course but you can not know unless you try it. I did not feel the needle go in my arm, they numbed it and that was the only thing I felt. There are times that I forget I have it. You do not notice it after a few days of having it. It is a really great method, you do not have to take something every day or put something in every month, it stays in for 3 years and once they remove it you can have another added the same day. I LOVE IT!"


"I had hallucinations for 5 days and ended up in hospital and became so anxious going to sleep. I now need to take Zoloft for the anxiety. I also reported this to the FDA."


"Experienced depressive symptoms lightly for years. Then over the past year when exposed to many life stressors because signficant in impairing my quality of life. Celexa has greatly improved my quality of life and most days I feel little to no depressive thoughts. I have been taking Celexa for 6 weeks. It also got rid of my anxiety (70-80% of it) and has improved my OCD symptoms a great deal.

I started on 5 mg upping to 10mg"


"Very effective for my 20 year insomnia problem. No side effects other than a slow start in the morning. I'm functioning normal during the day for the first time in years. I had terrible side effects from all other sleep meds. Expensive but worth it. Using a low dose. Nightly lights out routine works well."


"My gyn gave me the 7 day Terconazole 0.4% it seems to work fine and then I had intercourse with my boyfriend 3 days after I finish using and then 2 days later I started to feel sore and a slight itch then the following day I realize that the yeast infection is back. My Dr had also given me fluconazole 150mg tab in case it came back so I'm gonna try that because it has work for me before."


"I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis.  I had no side effects with Forteo, just completed my 2-year regimen in February, 2013.  In July of this year, I tripped over a curb and fell onto a concrete sidewalk.  I hit very hard, on my cheek (lower part of eye socket), shoulder, knee, and bent my fingers backward as I landed.  X-rays showed I suffered from NO broken bones, only soft tissue damage.  I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to experience the benefits of this medicine."


"I havd suffered with pmdd for a long time. Almost got divorced over how emotional I would get once per month and hated how I acted. My children started noticing also my pied. I was not  myself at right before my period. Since I have been on Yaz for past 6 months I have not had my usual monthly freak out and am in a much better mood. No more emotional rollercoaster. Infer like myself and not worried when I am going to freak out again. Yaz Is a lifesaver."


"I started suffering from migraines in my early 30's. I had tried everything you could think of. I was missing work 4-5 times a month. I ended up in th emergency room and was given Diloaudi several times (they call this percription heroin because its so very strong.  A few weeks back I went to another doctor who gave me Nortriyptyline! He told me my Migraines could be due to stress. For example, I know I have to go to work, I get ready, but then I decide to take the day off. I get a migraine.  I work well under pressure, so my brain gets amped up for one thing and it's suddenly changed.  Not that anyone asked for my medical history Ha. This medication works wonders!"


"I really loved the NUVARING...the only side effect that I had experience was slight nausea at the beginning. Other than that it goes away and I'm a HAPPY, CARE-FREE & COVERED woman."


"Very pleased with the effectiveness of this medication. I have been taking Zoloft for only one week now and already feel less anxious and more full of life.

Thank you Zoloft."


"Yes, insertion hurts like anything, but the pain is brief. Just take your ibuprofen (or something stronger) and breath through the pain - you'll be fine. I had moderate cramping for a few days after insertion and am still spotting very lightly 2.5 weeks later. I had the Mirena IUD several years ago and hated it (sex was painful and I would bleed after every time, I got reoccurring BV infections, acne, etc.), so I had it removed after 7 months. I feel no pain whatsoever while having sex with the Skyla, my skin is still clear, my mood is normal and I don't have abnormal discharge. So far, the Skyla has been amazing and I'm incredibly sensitive to birth control. I had mine inserted by a certified nurse midwife and I think that helped."


"It works great I was prescribed it to prevent UTIs after sex. However, my urologist took me off this medication because it can cause pulomonary fibrosis. Which is a serious lung condition that can be fatal. Please reconsider taking this medication . There are other options. Seek help from a urologist for further workup and treatment."


"When I first started using it about six months ago I thought it was helpful. But for the past month to six weeks I really suffered from red itchy eyes so I'm going to stop taking it for a while to see if that is the cause."


"It takes care of the Restless Legs Syndrome symptoms but also seems to give me insomnia, which kind of defeats the purpose. I can initially go to sleep and get a 3-4 hours but then I'm suddenly wide awake. Requip worked for a while but you have to increase dosage fairly quickly and that causes some bad side effects. I may have to try a 3rd option."


"It really helps me. I have back pain and leg pain after my surgery which is still healing since 2005."


"Cataflam is a miracle for my period pain. I have suffered for years and wouldn't be even able to walk a few steps with the horrible pain. I've tried everything from Meftalspas to spasmoproxivonne, Brufen, Panadol, etc.. nothing works. With Cataflam in just half an hour my pain is completely gone. I take it every 8 hours in my first two days."


"Had L4-5 fusion in 2014 and was back to full time work in 8 weeks. Approximately 22 months later I started having right lower leg excruciating pain and my leg would get so stiff that I would limp along with stinging,burning, and numbness. I went back to see my physician and an MRI was done. I was placed on 300 MG of gabapentin the dose was then increased to 600 mg. After finding out the problem and prior to surgery I was placed on 800 mg three times a day. It has really worked for the numbness,tingling, and burning before and after surgery.  I can really tell a difference if I happen to miss taking it late. I return for my follow up appointment soon I will discuss with my physician about staying on this medication."


"86 yrs old depressed 3 yrs. Tried all medicine, nothing. Electro shock, nothing. On EMSAM patch 6mg nothing. Up to 9mg back to normal in TWO Days! Got shaky
and up to 12mg and have been great for 1-2 yrs. Drink bottle white wine at dinner out, have frequent sex, eat small amounts of forbidden fruit, hot shower on patch, if itch scratch patch, sleep like a baby no side effects. Would not go back to suicidal state I once was in."


"I gave it two stars, only because it keeps me from getting pregnant. My gynecologist suggested this birth control for me because I asked her for something that can help with my acne. First of all, it made my acne worst. I haven't seen my face this bad since my teenage years. I would also like to note that this is my third month on birth control. I had Aubra before that was given to me at Planned Parenthood. I haven't gotten a period since I started birth control, but I think that's because my body is still trying to get used to the hormones. I also do get cramps on the week I don't take the pills. They are feel so bad. Sometimes I can't do anything because it hurts really bad and I don't even bleed when I get them!"


"100mg 2x daily. Diarrhea to the point of incontinence. Told by doctor to take 2 immodium 30 minutes before eating anything. Ended up being bloated and still have explosive diarrhea. I stopped taking Viberzi and my untreated IBS D symptoms are a heck of a lot better than on the medication, don't get me wrong I still have urgent needs but at least I can go back to the gym."


"After suffering for 2 years of bloating I had been using miralax which  works slowly every day . Then the Dr say try this. Within 10 min I was in bathroom on and of for 2 hour while it was cleaning my system out.  I had no bloating and no abdominal pain.  I took the second dose today and it did same thing. In 10 min rolling thunder started in my stomach and
 cleaned out everything. I will try  in a few more days then will ask Dr so far no more pain but I feel like it is a f18 fighter sound going thru my stomach for few hour after taking this..

Thanks goodness I tried it after work when I was home.. lol"


"wow."


"I will say that Suboxone did help me get off pain killers. I was addicted to oxy's for 3 years, taking over 25 a day. And the day I started Suboxone it helped from the start. I didn't have any withdrawals or nothing. "


"Orange flavor wasn't bad but a little orange food coloring might have made the illusion a bit more convincing.  Medium thick but went down without much problem. Technician assured me it was light years better than the chalky mix they used to use.  Then got an injection of an unnamed diuretic and urination every 5 minutes began. Not sure if it was completely the diuretic or the barium was a contributor but it continued right up to PET time. I warned them so they procured a plastic urinal and wrapped an diaper around me on the table. Neither got used during the 15 minute scan but it took a lot of clenched sphincter action to prevent a mess. Ten seconds off the table the urinal got used."


"Break into my house, steal EVERYTHING I own.

But keep your hands OFF my Estrace."


"I take my linzess every morning as prescribed but yet I still get constipated I can go 3-4 days without having a movement even though I'm taking linzess"


"I am a healthcare provider who specializes in Emergency Medicine.  I had my 1st surgery 2 1/2 years ago lower Colon. 2nd surgery for entrapped Pudendal Nerve, and am still healing.  Was started on Cympalta and Lyrica.  Stopped Lyrica.  Had severe mood swings, couldn't concentrate, severe depression with daily suicidal thoughts. 20 lb weight gain. I have not treated patients for over a year because of my symptoms. After stopping cold turkey against doctors advise I have a clear head, memory has improved and best of all suicidal thoughts are gone.
I now feel safe enough to return to work and help save lives without fear of making a mistake or wrong decision that could harm others. The nerve pain is still there, but better than side effects."


"One of the better drugs I have taken. It sure works - for me 125mg completely erased my OCD related depression and anxiety but there is a side effects price: excessive sweating, constipation and reduced libido."


"It worked! My hair is waist length. I did have a friend comb through my hair one time after treatment with an nit comb, but that's it. I used Sklice on my granddaughter who had lice to begin with and gave it to me. I did comb and pick all the nits out, but I never found a live bug after using Sklice. It's been about 2-3 weeks now. Still bug and nit free! Wish I had used this first!!"


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


"Had several surgeries: Left Shoulder Replacement,open reduction internal fixation (ORIF)  left elbow, small bowel resection, & Left knee arthroscopic. Was given several drugs including Propofol with no problems whatsoever.  Highly recommend."


"I have been taking Lysteda for 2 months now and it is a God send for me.  I am so tired of long drawnout periods which consist of heavy flows and clotting that makes it so uncomfortable in my daily routines.  The first month I had my period for a month and Lysteda finally gave me a break.  The next month was heavy but as soon as I started taking Lysteda I saw improvement and was happy with results and no side effects so far. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one."


"I probably looked on every single website and ultimately freaking myself out even more. I am 18 with no children. From reading all these horror stories I decided to take 10mg of hydrocodone instead of the 800mg of Advil my doctor told me to take. Honestly I'm not going to lie.. It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my entire life. It felt like a knife was twisting on my insides and I yelled a couple of times. BUT the whole procedure itself only lasted 30 seconds to a min tops which is totally do able. However all I ate was a muffin before the procedure and I got up too fast and resulted in me fainting in the hallway and claiming that I needed to throw up. I am still very mildly cramping and it's 3 days later. I still think it's worth it"


"Update from my 3/5/17 post.

So it has been one week since I started Contrave.  I have lost 9 lbs and I am very happy!  I am not craving sweets or junk food at all. My energy level is good although I haven't started any exercise yet, waiting until upper respiratory  infection is completely gone.( nothing to do with Contrave).

Making sure to drink a lot of water everyday.  After day 4, had some constipation  issues but I just added some prunes to my oatmeal, and problem solved.  Definitely eating smaller amounts of good food because my mind is telling me I'm done. I like that a lot!

Today I will begin taking 2. Hoping things remain the same, I'm a little nervous reading the side effects that some others are having after increasing dose."


"I've been taking Prozac since I was thirteen years old or so. I'm sixteen now, and I'm worried that if I ever stop, I'll get bad again. I have severe anxiety and had depression. The depression has gone away, but the anxiety has worsened. Not from this medication, but I believe I need a larger dose. Anyways, this drug has helped me and made me feel like it can get better. Knowing the chemistry in my brain is really helpful too, to know that serotonin is being released. I would recommend for severe depression, but not anxiety unless at a larger dose. I'm on 40mg now, but took 20mg up until a month ago."


"Fibromyalgia - slow to take effect but once the pain relief begins it is effective for me and much preferable to codeine."


"I have an appointment in a week to get ADHD and bipolar meds but I was given a sample of a 70mg vyvanse I had previously been trying to  do the dishes for about two hours (procrastination) I could feel it kick in after 2 hours and I ended up cleaning every inch of the kitchen. Cleaned the walls cabinets and all the appliances. I was actually interested in cleaning and was able to keep cleaning for 10 hours without getting off track. The effects only lasted about 10 hours and I could tell when it was ending because my cravings for cigarettes started again. I only smoked about 2 cigarettes in that period. I binge eat if I don't smoke regularly so its great for quitting smoking along with focus for ADHD. Will be asking about this one."


"I love this pill. I was on Loestrin 24 for my first pill and I was so moody! My doctor switched me to Natazia and I have had no side effects! I know pills are different for everyone but this pill has really changed my view on birth control. Periods are still 3-5 days and moderate bleeding/cramping but no nausea or breast tenderness. Also comes with a Bayer savings card."


"I've used the ring for about 2 months now, and it was the best alternative for a forgetful person like myself. I was on the pill before, but I had to stop using it because I'd often forget. Putting the ring in at first will feel a little weird, but once you put it in deep enough, you wont feel a thing. Plus, it wouldn't slide out! The only con I have is that after I take out the ring on the end of the 3rd week, my cramps from period seem to be more painful."


"Two days ago I purchased a Blistex tube called orange mango blast. It smells great however has caused my lips to swell and burn.

Normally I use the mint Blistex and never experience anything like this.

Medicinal ingredients are different. Is that the cause of the swelling?"


"It works the best for me. I have degenerative disc disease and they give me these every 6 hours, 3 times a day and ever since I have been on 30mg I have been fine no pain at all in my back and able to sleep through the night."


"It works for me every time when your diabetic it happens when sugars are to high sugars spill over into the bladder  causing it but I have found fluconazole and a little help with Monistat cream or just walmart cream helps with the itchy feeling. it comes with a tube I just use that in the surface and does the job ."


"I have temporal lobe seizures. I have taken Trileptal for many years and it has helped controlled the seizures. However; I have been having issues with low sodium. The doctors blame it on the Trileptal. So to fix the problem, they suggest eating high sodium foods, fluid restriction, and no water. Water dilutes the sodium. They also suggested that I add about a teaspoon of salt to my meals. So what I do for thirst is drink Gatorade but only a few sips. But you got to becareful and not to drink more than a liter of fluid in a day as this is what is recommended by the doctor. My neurologist recommended that I drink gatorade. So most of the time I drink Gatorade when I eat my meals."


"I have been placed on just about every medicine there is to treat insulin resistance. None of them worked as well as the Victoza. When I first started out in August 2010 I weighed 309lbs. I now weigh 267. It was the only medicine to help curb my appetite and my cravings. I give Victoza two thumbs up!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"You can't believe everything you see posted. On the internet you'd be insane. I got all the horror stories reading others experience And also family that had gone through The same experience..well I can say I was intimidated. When I saw the pharmacists hand ME this big jug and said I had to fill it with water and chill it and add the little lemon pack that comes attached. I was a little hesitant to say the least..but I awoke the next morning and about 9am I began my 8oz. First dose. Down.wasn't BAD as I thought like everyone was crying about the taste for ME was like a Dull Vanilla Mineral water (if you could imagine that taste) but I used a big straw to past the taste buds and I drunk  fast so I wouldn't get a big after taste.."


"I suffer from chronic back pain due to lumbar spinal decay and facet joint arthrosis. I have been taking tramadol (50mg) for quite some time.  I know what the pain feels like when I don't take it (excruciating!) and taking it regularly - 3 to 4 times a day - along with others allows, me to function reasonably normally.  I get a dry mouth at times and this is expected.  I couldn't live without it."


"Horrific. After missing my period for three months the side effects began to kick in and it was more than I expected. It sent me to the hospital with Dysmenorrhea which is horrible cramps but my cramps felt like contractions. It caused me so much pain I would break out into tears. This followed with bloating, a yeast infection, and a two week long period. Horrible and it was my first time using birth control. I immediately got off."


"This didn't help my insomnia at all. If anything, it makes my mind think even more. I have even more trouble sleeping than when I was on Elavil 25mg or Zopiclone 7.5mg. It's frustrating since I'm only 20 years old and I've been suffering from insomnia for 2 and a half years now."


"I started taking this medication about 3 years ago for Depression/Social Anxiety. I will say for depression this drug worked wonders, not so much anxiety though. However, recently I've decided to try for the 3rd time to stop taking it. The withdrawal you get from Effexor is the worst feeling."


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


"This generic doesn't work"


"I have yet to notice an improvement in my pain."


"Had horrible side effects, did not sleep for 2 weeks. Developed tics. Felt like I was living a nightmare. Had to be hospitalized. They took me off Effexor. And I started Zoloft. Zoloft worked fantastic . Took Zoloft for a year. Been off meds for 9 years with no problems."


"I was on trinessa for 4.5 years, originally went on it to control my acne, which it did for the most part, but definitely not 100%, despite having a strict face cleansing routine. It didn't start to clear my skin for at least 2 months, at that time I also increased about two cup sizes which was nice. I had slight moodswings in the first 3 months but I think thats to be expected when going on the pill. Haven't had moodswings since the first 3 months. Im going off of it now because in the past week I have noticed I'm breaking out a lot and i think I've been on this too long for it to keep controlling my acne."


"I hate it. I've had it for 18 months. It still hurts in my arm. My hormones are out of control. I'm depressed all the time. I have always had intense  pain from my periods but its so much worse now. I bleed for weeks then stop for a couple days.  For instance I've been bleeding for over 3 weeks now. the weight gain is horrible!! 30 pounds that now matter what I do I can't lose!!! I wish I had never gotten this horrible thing."


"The first 4 months was putting on weight and mood swings which I did not enjoy. I love not having to use a condom but the implant has loads of side effects and the most annoying one is all along on a period. I think that's the reason you don't get pregnant with the implant."


"The reason why I gave a 4 was because I had a lot of stomach pain, back pain, sore throat, headache. "


"My doctor put me on Keppra to see if it will help with my problems of completing sentences and being at a loss of words. I haven't been on the medicine long, but the side effects are very apparent. I feel almost drunk sometimes I am nauseous and dizzy and have not noticed any change in my condition. I have to be very aware and on top of my game to do my job."


"This medicine has saved me from going to the ER several times. I take it immediately at the onset of an episode and mercifully the pain is gone. I do not experience any side effects and the relief is almost instant."


"I've been on this pill for almost 4 months. The first 2 weeks I got really sick, sweat a lot, could not eat, it was REALLY bad but I think it was just my body getting used to it. (This is my first birth control) But after the 2nd week it was great. Lighter/shorter periods and could possibly be the reason why my acne has cleared. Sex drive went down, weight didn't change, no breast enlargement, harder to get and stay wet.  I've fought with my boyfriend a lot and he blames it on the pill, but my family and friends haven't noticed any moodiness so I think it's just him blaming it on the pill. Overall, it's a good BIRTH CONTROL pill. "


"I had pain in my stomach no one could diagnose for three months. I was put on SSRI that made me worse an I lost 35 pounds with no appetite. Pain one day released and I became extremely anxious . by taking a small dose of Valium in the am and pm I am so much better also was given Dr Claire Weeks book which helped. I never thought I would recover hang in there."


"My wife began the 4 stage process a couple of months ago, and I stopped it

halfway through week 2 because she seemed to be getting more confused.

We started again a month ago and are into the 2nd full dose, and I am very concerned that her condition is worse instead of better."


"I was prescribed Adderall XR 15mg six months ago after trying Focalin XR and not liking it because of severe stomach pains it would give me. Before trying the Adderall and Focalin I was diagnosed with ADHD because I brought it to my doctors attention. I had always had a problem in high school and even middle school with getting good grades, everyone thought I was lazy. In college the situation was getting worse, and I started to get depressed about my bad grades. I then realized my depression was stemming from my inability to concentrate on school work. It's been six months since I've been on the Adderall XR, and my grades have shot up! I get A's and B's in all my classes and am so much more organized which helps with everything in my life."


"I am 59 , very active, on thyroid and blood pressure medication for at least a year. All was good. Started taking simvastatin due  cholesterol results. Took one at night after dinner  20 mg  for two days. On the second day, while driving , I was getting extremely sleepy. Kept waking myself up by slapping my face. I had a blank moment while driving...woke up when the car hit a kerb with a thud!.
Obviously now I don't think I will take this simvastatin. I will have to tell my doctor that she almost lost her patient and took a few other people off ."


"I had several ulcers the pain was tremendous. After a week in the hospital I was given this medication and others. This medication worked miracles. I wasn't told that if I stopped taking it my ulcer would come back (my ulcers are not from bacteria). They came back and I began the medication again and I am fine now. You must take the medication all the time."


"I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago with Fibromyalgia. My doctor prescribed Elavil.10 mg. per day. It helped me sleep better but heart began beating to fast and was discontinued. Helped a little with pain."


"I'm a 40 year old Mom with stage 4 breast cancer with metastasis to bone from head to toe. As you can imagine, I'm in considerable pain all the time. They have kept upping my morphine and although going without the morphine is not an option I am tired of doubling it all the time. I since gone to a pain doctor that prescribed Arthrotec 75 and at last I can go hiking with my kids again. I can go shopping with them and not be exhausted from pain. I am very grateful to Arthrotec 75 because it has given me a piece of my life back. The only side effects I've had from it is a little bit of an achy stomach and I've been very gassy. Well worth the trade off."


"I took this for a month and a half to two months and I had severe dry mouth and was constantly tired or sleeping. It helped my depression a lot though."


"I had a sudden onset of cold sores and a new one was appearing each day. I am on immunosuppressants so my body just can't fight this virus on its own. After 5 days I went to my doctor.
This medication was amazing- within 24-48 hrs the blisters were crusting over. The swelling and redness was decreasing as well.
I am on 400 mg 3 x daily for 10 days. I am currently on day 6.
For the first few days I would feel lightheaded (not dizzy) for a few hours after each dose, but that has gone away now. No nausea when taken with food. I did have a few mild headaches, but that was because I was not drinking enough fluid. As soon as I hydrated, headaches were gone.
My doctor gave me 2 refills so next time I feel the onset I can start treatment right aw"


"I'm 16 years old and I've been taking sertraline for about two years now and it's completely changed my life. Early on in high school I struggled with anxiety that gave me severe stomach aches and as I started to think about getting one, I would bring one on. I still had a good amount of friends and was very social but often avoided social situations due to my fear of getting sick. I didn't go on a few class field trips because I worried about having to "go" on the bus and my anxiety haunted every aspect of my life which often made me feel frustrated and depressed. Finally, I went to the doctor and was prescribed 50mg of sertraline. After a few weeks I was already seeing changes in how my body reacted to situations and I'm happier than ever."


"Started and have stayed on the very lowest mg. of Rexulti.( for roughly four months) Almost immediately I felt so much better, and as the days went on, I felt "alive" again. Did have an issue with hot flashes, but it didn't last long. My Pdoc is trying to see if I can get a reduction on the cost of this med. Hope he can, because if not, I have no other med that works for me, and it's back to doomsville again. I have D.I.D., PTSD; anxiety, and panic disorder. This drug really keeps me focused, and on an even emotional keel. Very pleased."


"I have had Mirena for 3 yrs. LOVE IT. I no longer have a period, no pain, no ovarian cysts anymore and I am very very happy. I am 38 yrs old and got the Mirena when they told me because of my age the pill was not an option. Because I was a smoker and over 35 so I choose this form of birth control and I have never been sorry. I would (and do) recommend to anyone that has had a child. It is so worry free and very effective. THANKS"


"Since pre-menopause/menopause began, I've been gaining 3-5 pounds a year over the last ten years and was 193 lbs on my last doctor visit. Doctor recommended Qsymia as a way to jump start weight loss and motivate me to make lifestyle changes. She recommended no more than 1200 calories a day. I was told to avoid caffeine because of potential stimulant effect of Q. Wrong! I got the drowsiness side effect the first day. After that, I've kept to my 1-2 cups of coffee and I've done fine. I fall asleep no problem, but I do find that I wake up a few times during the night--but that can also be attributed to my pets and needing to urinate from all the extra water I'm drinking. My scale arrives tomorrow so I can track weight loss."


"Doesn't help my back spasm.  Was told to take 2 x 5mg tablets every 8 hours but see no sign of improvement."


"I deal with extreme anxiety in a lot of different scenarios likely rising out of autism.  I'm on about 75mg a day, and I cannot say I have side-effects, other than waking up with a pounding heart for a few hours if I drink too heavily.  I have had such good effects from the drug to the point where I can actually see major differences in how I interact with people and events and almost see a difference in my personality (for the better) over the past several years.  I have recommended Vistaril to several people."


"It worked to abort a cluster headache.  Just as effective, but not any more so, than the needle version of Imitrex/sumatriptan.  The injection stung quite a bit and left a fairly nasty welt similar to a wasp sting, and it bled a little bit, but it worked as advertised."


"I've used it on and off, and I definitely see slowed hair growth.
The only problem I have is that it slows growth, it doesn't remove. This results in hair coming out "just a little bit", i.e., very, very short hairs, which are not so much seen as felt.  And they're very hard to remove because so short (and I only use Tweezerman!)
It actually takes me longer to pluck the short stunted growth hairs than the full grown hairs.
Oh, well. I'm hoping that once I do get them, they won't grow back and I'll be on my way to a smooth chin!!"


"I have not changed anything about my daily routine, but after a month my acne is gone, and I have magically lost 10 lbs"


"I am a 47 year old female. I tried the birth control pill and it raised my blood pressure too high. My GYN suggested Mirena.  I read the reviews and warnings and was nervous but agreed. It has been over 6 months and here is my take;
1. Having it put in was ridiculously easy and not worth any concern
2. Very pleased with not worrying about pregnancy.
3. Periods are normal but extremely light.
4. Some cramping after sex - some light bleeding after sex. No biggy.
5. Had to have the strings cut shorter for my partner - he cannot even notice it now.
6. The only downside I have had is an increase in acne AND on the days I get my period I am very moody (I never had this before so I know it is a side effect).
7. Cost 100.00"


"Have severe D-IBS since childhood, have never been able to keep job or even get through school. Lotronex was my miracle when I had access to it for a year and a half. It was the best year and a half of my life! I felt like a normal person, living a normal life for a change. Medicare changed the plans and I've not been able to get it covered since. I'll always have hope though!"


"I've been on this medication for 2 1/2 months. I have POCS and type 2 diabetes and always struggled with my weight.  I was 300, and now I'm 276.  I feel the weight loss would have been even more significant had I eaten right from the get go.  This medication can especially help those with POCS lose weight by slowing down your digestion and keeping you fuller longer.  The last month I really put in the effort of cutting my calories and allowing the medication do it's thing without increasing my activity.  This is the fastest weight loss I have ever seen even with restricting calories and daily gym visits.  My a1c went from 6.6 to the 6.1, and glucose 90..it's never been that low.  Great drug..little to no side effects for me."


"I took Lyrica for 10 years until the copay went to $100. So I began Gabapentin at 100 mg twice daily. It helped with the pain, but not enough. My Dr. increased the dose to 200 mgs twice daily, and I began having the following side effects after only 2 days: cold symptoms, bloated feeling, constipation, cough with mucus, excess gas in the stomach, excessive eye tearing, feeling dizzy and  lightheaded, indigestion, passing gas (a lot, plus, stomach pain from it), runny nose, tender glands in the neck, headache, bad taste (like eggs). I'm back to 100 mgs and the side effects are going away, but pain has increased again."


"I was off my feet in bed for 48 hours in terrible pain. Could not use the other meds I had since I was on heart meds. Doc put me on pred and the inflammation began to lift in a few hours. This was way better than any other med I had in the past for gout."


"I was prescribed this for cough. My sister is a respiratory therapist of 25 years. She said it's really bad to stop the mucus being coughed up and suppressing the mucus to settle into your lungs. She said a lot of people end up getting pneumonia when they take it for long periods of time."


"For years I have been struggling with constant pressure headaches & sinus/ear problems. The closest way to describe it is imagine having a head cold 24/7. The constant pain has taken its toll on me and my mood. After years of trying all sorts of meds, my dr. finally prescribed Lamictal. It didn't work at first, but once the dose was increased I felt amazing. I was back to my old self: no more headache, earaches, brain fog or fatigue. We FINALLY found the right medication! Unfortunately, the med caused a painful rash all over the front of my upper torso & I had to stop it. If you get a rash look up D.R.E.S.S., many docs don't make the connection. It woke up the HHV6 rash from childhood & took 7 months to clear up even after stopping the med."


"It helps me to not only become calm but to stay that way and if I take it at night it helps me sleep better along with my Ambien."


"I never thought of myself as fat but chunky I might say. Well I am overweight at 5"5 198lbs. So I started on Belviq six months ago and felt it was pricey 155.00 after the 75.00 discount. Well I have lost 35 pounds and now get it for 75.00 per month as my insurance does not cover this easy to use medicine. I had a little dry mouth but otherwise nothing to really not as a bad side effect. My overall health is much improved as well as my confidence."


"I have always hurt taking statins and refused for over 15 yrs to take more than a few weeks, because side effects of pain, aching, memory loss. Heart doctor and family doctor pushed me into taking Repatha as my cholesterol was 553. September2016, I tried it and first 2 injections were ok, no side effects. but as soon as I took the third I have been in the most pain I have experienced in my life. Every joint, tendon, muscle, from my neck to my toes. It is now December27,2016 and the pain has just increased instead of decreased. If I lay down or sit for just a while I can hardly move when I get back up. I never had problems in my hands or knees before but feel like I could fall when walking. and hands feel numb with tingling and pain."


"I have found my quality of life has improved since taking
Entresto  but I am experiencing considerable hair loss and wonder if the drug could have contributed to this condition."


"I've been on this BC for a month now, the first week was a little bumpy with emotions. I highly recommend giving it a week before making your decision on whether or not to stick with it. I'm back to my normal self now, I feel good and don't notice any side effects what-so-ever. My face is clear, sex drive normal. Overall, highly satisfied with this birth control."


"I took Prilosec for about 3 years. I began to experience a rapid heartbeat at night. I would wake up at night and have very rapid heartbeat for about 5 minutes. It finally dawned on me to try leaving off the Prilosec. I have been off now for 2 months and am having no more problems with my heart. I found that Pepcid is also good for indigestion and causes me no problem."


"I took Ellaone on the 20th April after 3 days of unprotected sex,it is the 7th May and I have not started my periods. A bit worried."


"My experience with Sertraline has been an interesting one. It started off badly. One of the side effects seems to be enhanced anxiety levels. I also became increasingly depressed and struggled communicating at times. I had disturbed sleep patterns and constantly racing negative thoughts. It was tough. I had read up on the subject though and understood that this was only temporary and battled through it. There were times that I nearly gave up. Times when it all seemed too much. Slowly, but surely, things started to improve. The first two weeks were hell, the third week became hellish and the fourth less so. After 6 weeks my smile had returned, I was able to tackle the world and confidence began to flow. It's been a life changer / saver."


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


"I have been on Yasmin since I was 15.  My periods used to last 9-11 days, were heavy, and very painful.  I can remember my mom keeping me out of school due to this.  Not only was my cycle completely crazy, I had acne on my shoulders, upper back, and upper arms.  Being in high school, something like this can be traumatizing.  Anyway after almost 6 years, I have been acne free (maybe the occasional bump or 2) and 4-5 day easy periods!  I did gain weight...but who knows if it was because of the birth control...like the lady said before she gained in all the "right" places so I can't complain about that one.  I went up a whole up size! I plan on taking this until I decide to make a little one (another 4 years hopefully)."


"Took Flomax by itself. It worked a little but made me dizzy. Added Detrol LA and everything worked a lot better but still got dizzy. Stopped Flomax for about 10 days and only took Detrol LA. Urgency slipped a little but was still good. Dizziness went away. Started Flomax again. Slight improvement but dizziness re-started. Detrol LA seems to be the best of the two."


"I've been taking vraylar for about 4 months now and so far it has been the best drug I have been on with the least side effects. For the first couple of months I didn't have any at all and then I started to get my motivation back and along with that came restlessness and sleeping difficulty. That seems to be getting better as my body gets more used to the drug. My anxiety is manageable, my moods seem to be pretty stable and my depression is starting to really lift. Because of the very long half life of vraylar I've read that it can take longer than other drugs to work and to just be patient, that was easy for me seeing as there weren't many side effects. It took me years to find something to work but I'm so glad I didn't give up."


"I was switched from amitriptyline to nortriptyline and noticed an immediate improvement the following morning. I'm sold."


"I have awful acne everywhere on my face, between my eyebrows, forehead, chin, back and chest. I have been taking Doryx for a month, along with Ziana and a face wash.  The acne I actually care about (in between my eyebrows, and my chin) has gotten much worse. The acne on my forehead has gotten a lot better, but is starting to get worse again, and the acne on my chest has gotten better. The Pill has no side effects on me, except it is huge and I usually can't swallow it until about my 3rd try. I'm praying that it will be effective."


"After 10 years of taking OXY-HYDROCODONE for pain for a condition that I still have and they still prescribe me this meds, but since I have been taking them for so long us the users taking them legally or not after a while our body gets immune to them that the dose that the doc says to take every 4-6 hrs it doesn't have the same effect anymore so what do we do we take more. So as the year was coming to an end I decided to start the new one opiate free so here I am I haven't taken any opiates this year and I feel good, different it's been so long that I forgot what a normal life feels like but to tell you the truth I feel awesome and it's all because I decided to take Subutex to end this once and for all and it's doing a good job...magic pill."


"Mostly I liked Wera. It was better than the necon 1/35 I had been on previously. I still had enough mood swings that I felt bad enough for my husband to want to change my b.c. I really didnt have much depression on this, a little lower libido, but it did not cause chronic migraines like the  other b.c. I eventually switched"


"I have actually just had my 5th shot and it's been great for me. Bled on cerazette like crazy so switched to depo injection. My only complaint is that in the 2nd shot I got really bad boob pain and a bit of weight gain. Never had a scare good birth control and also it's every 3 months so no problem!"


"Lamotrigine is good medicine. I have bipolar 2. Evening dosages messed with my sleep, so I take one 300 mg dose every morning with breakfast. Now I smile more. Life is brighter, and so is my outlook and attitude. Only side effect is occasional mild headache, but still worth the price of admission. Very grateful for this medicine."


"I would recommend overall. During the first month it killed my libido and made me grow two cup sizes, but by the second month my libido was back. No mood swings unlike some other pills. I gained 6 pounds but I think it was water.  A year in, the only residual side effect is the big breasts, and most importantly, I'm not pregnant."


"For the last month I have been sick,  very restless sleep,  muscle spasm,  vomiting  for several hours with movement after meds have worn off. I had to stop using Xyrem this month because the same faulty batch I got in January,  they shipped  me again  this month... I tried to call and complain about the side effects.  Unfortunately the SDS Pharmacy isn't offering any solutions to fix or solve the issue that a lot more people  are dealing with.... So disgusted  with this company"


"I have had horrible, gory nightmares for years and years. With the first dose of Prazosin 2mg they are gone. I know I have been dreaming but don't remember the content. Lately the dreams are back so increased to 4mg. but have total urinary incontinence in the morning so will have to go back to 2mg. This is a miracle for me."


"I've recently come off yasmin due to reading about the increased risk of blood clots. However I was on it for a number of years and had an OK experience with it.

The positives were I had no headaches (I had excruciating migraines with marvelon) and my skin was perfect - only the occasional spot before my period similar to what it was like on diannette.

However the bad side effects for me were weight gain, I put on roughly half a stone which no matter what I couldn't shift and I was tired all the time. I also had zero sex drive.

I'd recommend trying yasmin if you're concerned about acne and particularly if you're looking to come off diannette. However as I say it's not perfect and everyone reacts differently."


"This is the second time trying and all I have to say is never again! I feel so sick. The chills is horrible and I can't walk I feel so dizzy. I took the pill yesterday at 930pm fell asleep, woke up at 2:30am and it is 9:45 pm and I am still going. This is not for me"


"Very painful muscle and joint problems from this medication.  Searing pain in elbows, wrists, knees, etc. Never had this before taking this medication. My  husband is also on this pill and is experiencing some of the same problems."


"Effexor has helped me more than other antidepressants I've taken. I have severe depression and take 75 mg twice a day. On occasion, my doctor increased the dose to 75 mg 3 x day.
"


"Effexor has had an absolutely amazing impact on my life. I have Major Depression Disorder - I have Anxiety, fun mix! I started off on 75mg and after a couple of months went to 150. Been at 150mg for close to 6 months and I am an entirely different person. My relationships have improved ten fold because I am no longer moody, irrational and I can feel emotions other than hopelessness and indescribable sadness. With that said - I am pretty certain I will never be able to come off this medication. I recently had to go 5 days without my Effexor and it was literally hell. First 2 days, I thought it was the flu - by day 5, I was ready to end it all. 3 days back on and I am golden. Oh plus it makes my pupils HUGE. Like I worry people think I am high."


"Hey Ladies. I was just in this situation reading reviews, desperate for answers. I had unprotected sex two days after my period. This was about 1am and I took the Plan B 9hrs later. After taking it. I had mild cramps. Later that night I had unprotected sex again (very stupid I know) I got frantic, calling pharmacies asking if I needed to take it once more, some said no I will be fine, and some said yes. I decided to go with no. Two days later I started to bleed, but this bleeding was brownish blood. I got this for a few days then I started bleeding heavily, n Remember I just had my period.  ladies I got my regular period after but it was 2 days late so I bled 3 times in a month! I'm not gonna tell u don't worry cause I did but the pill works!"


"I had it put in after the birth of my second child.  The insertion was extremely painful.  Since having it put in I have experienced multiple infections which can only be attributed to the device.  I also have had a change in mood and behavior, which was never an issue prior to Mirena.  I chose to have it removed.  I am happily married and would much rather get pregnant than deal with all of the side effects from Mirena. This is by far the WORST form of birth control.  It's only good for five years if you can stand it for that long."


"Have been on Copaxone for almost 10 years, not one problem with the medication. Copaxone has improved my day to day life."


"I'm 18, 5'2" and 111lbs. I got the Paragard about 5 hours ago. On a scale from 1-10, the procedure was 2 for uncomfortability but absolutely no pain upon placing the IUD! I am on my period and I was given Misoprostol to soften my cervix even more in order to dialate for the procedure. I was also given Vicodin to take an hour prior to the placement. Perhaps the Vicodin helped more than I realized but the procedure could not have gone better. And in the last five hours I've had maybe one or two cramps. We'll see how the following months go but so far, so good!"


"I just started my second round of Orthovisc.  The first round was administered by the surgeon and was tolerable.  I had my first shot of my second round last week by a Non Operative Orthopedist because the surgeons within this practice will no longer perform shots and this first shot was unbearable.  My knee is killing me so much worse than before the shot.  Not sure I will continue tomorrow for the second.  I have been bone on bone for 4 years and they refuse to operate because of other under lying orthopedic issues.  I really cannot say it was super beneficial the first time but wanted to give it another try being in severe pain.  I think it depends on the individual as everyone is different."


"This medication has worked amazingly well for me, but the side effects are no joke. My mood is better, I'm less anxious, less angry, and more sociable. It works. It's great, but there are serious drawbacks. My libido and sexual performance are down. I get tired more easily. If I go outside on a hot day my clothes are quickly drenched in sweat. Physical activity exhausts my muscles more quickly. My mouth is so dry I need to constantly sip water. And finally, if I miss a dose I get the sensation of electric shocks in my brain. I personally find the benefits outweigh the side effects. Worth a try when more tolerable meds fail."


"I'm still here, so I guess it worked - but it was a rough, horribly rough 9 months - it helped that I was already on medical leave (and that the hospital took responsibility for the exposure) - Isoniazid is literally a sort of (failed) anti-depressant that works against TB, but is also pretty harsh on the liver, so I had to take Vitamin B6 for 9 months too. I was pretty moody, crazy, aggressive - not my normal self... it was a long 9 months.

I can't understate how mood altering this medicine was - not in a good way. I was embarrassed to talk about it, which made my behavior all the more odd to my friends and co-workers, but once I explained it, I got some support - anyhow, I wish I had done that from the start.

On the plus side, I'm still here!"


"I was on this medication briefly for my arthritis pain. I would describe it as "many side effects, no good effects." It had the side effects generally associated with narcotics (sleepiness, dizziness, nausea), but it didn't help my pain at all."


"I have been using Skyla for 8 months. I took ibuprofen beforehand and had it inserted while on my period. It was definitely uncomfortable, but the pain only lasted a few minutes. I had what felt like period cramps and light spotting during the first month, and my heating  pad was my best friend. Since then, my cycle has been fairly regular (about every 30 days) with barely any cramping. I like that the hormones are released locally, so blood levonorgestrel levels are much  lower than taking a pill each day. Checking the strings at the end of each cycle is simple. The best part is that I'm protected for 3 years and don't have to worry about forgetting to take a pill. I'll update if anything changes, but for now, Skyla is working wonderfully."


"Awful, swore I was on this before and was miserable but gave it a chance because I switched doctors and we didn't have old records but I had the horrible flash backs instantly as soon as I switched to this Birthcontrol. I had the following symptoms:

Lowered sex drive; my boyfriend even noticed, it became embarassing.

Breaking out

Weight gain

Intense headaches

Nausea all the time; felt like I was car sick 24/7

Severe cramping; never wanted to crawl in bed and cry so much as I had with this med.

Heavy periods

Interrupted sleep

Tender boobs

Ughh needless to say this has been a nightmare do not do this to yourself."


"It takes time to take effect but relieves pain effectively."


"I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for over a year. It did what it had to do which was to prevent pregnancy. During the use of the birth control, I had mild spotting in between periods as well as some cramping. But I became very depressed and emotional. Anything would set me off. I would be happy one moment then I would start crying. Now I've been off for two months and my family and friends can tell the difference."


"Opana has worked better than anything I have been prescribed. I have several bulging discs, 4 in the lower back and 4 mid back. I was taking 3000 milligrams of Vicodin daily, 8 to 10 x 325 mg tabs.  Now, I take 2, 20 milligram Opana daily, and only 2 or 3 Vicodin as needed.  Be sure to take Opana on an empty stomach, and don't eat for about 2 hours.  Opana is incredible, my next Doctor's visit, I will request a slightly higher dose, and quit the Vicodin all together.  Thank you Opana!"


"I just had a major spine surgery (10-level spinal fusion with rods and screws) to fix my scoliosis. I was under general anesthesia for 5 hours. I'm almost 3 weeks post-op now, and this nausea medicine has been a lifesaver since day 1. I don't know if my problems are still from anesthesia, or from the post-op pain medicines but this nausea is awful and promethazine takes it right out. (Just be willing to nap)."


"No pain after second injection.  98% clear.  Only side efferct so far is nausea at times.  Love this so far.  Humira and Enbrel caused bad site reactions."


"I take 5mg for generalized anxiety disorder in an as needed basis. It makes sleepy and it doesnt help with the anxiety as I want it too. It is perfect for insomnia but for anxiety, it doesnt do much for me."


"I've been using Leflunomide since July 2007.  It took 3 months for it to become effective, but I have been pain free since then!  Wonderful!  BUT, I have developed chronic urinary tract infections -- 12 in the last two years.  My urologist is exasperated and has about exhausted his bag of tricks; daily Macrodantin (antibiotic) for over a year helped for a few months at a time, but I'm now resistant to that.  I only take 10 mg leflunomide and really hate to think of doing without it, but my bladder is important too.  I'm going to ask the rheumatologist this week about cutting the dosage in half."


"Works much better than any other NSAID, especially for stiff joints."


"This is day 2 for me.  I had a little nausea today. I am trying really hard to get off of insulin. I hope this works. I was on victoza for 4 years so I  am used to nausea and stomach issues."


"I have been using this drug for four days and i have lost 6 pounds it seems to be working great but i am starting to get a little hungry"


"Being given IV Rocephin 1 gram for severe injury to left ear as prophylaxis to prevent infection. After two days (two doses) I have not experienced any side effects at all, nor any signs of infection."


"The first thing I will say about this medication is that in the first 3-4 weeks you may experience side effects such as nausea, dizziness and/or giddiness. Also you panic symptoms may appear to have gone away and then they come back periodically when you're not expecting it. However for me both of these things ceased to continue after about a month. I have now been taking 50mg of this medication for 3 months and I can honestly say it is the best decision I've ever made. My panic attacks, which I used to have roughly twice weekly have completely gone away to leave me feeling relaxed. I am also more confident doing the things that used to trigger my panic, causing me to feel happier and able to get on with life normally. Strongly recommend."


"When I got a yeast infection, I had no idea what to do and my friend suggested Monistat. It was quick and affective, and made the yeast infection go away within a day. However, insertion was quite difficult because the ovule is dry, so I would recommend using some unsecented/unflavored lube on the tip of the ovule to make it glide in easier."


"Remeron is a unique medicine, since its side effects are sometimes as useful as its antidepressant effects.  This medicine literally saved my life.  For many years, I was around 90 pounds, and never slept.  Now, I'm a healthy 120 and I sleep about 8 or 9 hours per night.  It did take a long time to get to this point.  When I first started taking it, I was tired all the time and very worried about the ravenous hunger!  But now that I've been on it 2 years, I no longer gain weight, I'm no longer tearful and miserable, and I've honestly never been happier.  God bless the people who made this drug. It literally saved my life."


"From January 2015 my period started being irregular and I haven't had my period since June last year (2016). My doctor recommended provera, 5mg for 10 days. My period came 4 days after the last pill. Am so happy and I hope it becomes regular again."


"Got the typical starter pack. One week at 10mg - noticeable antidepressant effect, side effects of diarrhea and weird dreams. One week at  20 mg -  suddenly had tons of energy. Found myself getting lots of housework done, starting up projects I had been putting off for months, but no true enjoyment of things I loved. Diarrhea remained, some insomnia started. 5 weeks at  40 mg - Energy remained good at first, wasn't depressed but wasn't happy either. Just became numb like  with all other SSRI's I've tried. Diarrhea persisted. Had trouble getting up each morning and felt foggy all day but still had energy to get things done. NO libido. Anhedonia persisted. Not the right drug for me."


"Amazing difference in appearance in less than a month. I started breaking out about senior year in high school and it got progressively worse. Although makeup covered a lot of it, I never let anyone touch my face and dreaded having to go in the water and risk having my makeup rinsed off. Now my skin is 100% smooth and even after weening off of the pill to every other day I have not had a single blemish."


"Start the medication low, slow dosage and increase as prescribed and needed"


"It works, is all I can say. Started on the sample pack at age 12 (I am 16 now, but will never forget my experience). It worked, I cannot say that it didn't, but it gave me the worst side effects possible. After about a month of the medicine, I was diagnosed with depression as a result of Straterra. When I took it, in probably 2011, the box said, "may cause suicidal thoughts or actions", which my physician did not warn me about. Then all of the sudden I was extremely depressed and suicidal and my psychiatrist discovered that Straterra was the cause. He has had several cases before where the mental illness was caused by a drug, and nothing else. Good medicine, just beware of the side effects!"


"I have been dealing with depression for well Over 6 months and just about 2 months ago decided to go to the doctor to seek help with medication to bridge back to benign myself. I first tried Viibryd for a month, worked well for me emotionally and for my moods but I gained weight which triggered deeper depression for me. I am now trying this Brintillex stuff. I have had severe itching throughout my entire body, it gets worse when I'm sitting still and trying to fall asleep at night. I'll be itching my back and legs so hard in my sleep that it wakes me. I have only been on this drug for a month! Totally not worth it. Not to mention the vomiting which makes everything so much worse. I hate the medication guessing game that comes along with this."


"Please consult your Provider before using this product. After using I had to stay home from work and take sitz baths due to vaginal swelling. Unfortunately it worsened Day 2."


"I took depo in January while I was on my period. After my period stopped like a few days laterIi started spotting and it never stopped. I told the doctor but they insisted that it was a good method so I took it again and scheduled the next shot. The spotting never stopped, I had a terrible appetite, my moods were changing like. I never went back to get the third shot. I regret ever taking depo. I feel like I'm never going to have my regular menstrual cycle or have the sex I had before or stop using pantie liners. This is very frustrating."


"This is what I consider to be a miracle drug. I have had herpes simplex (fever blisters) since I was born and I have tried SO MANY different treatments. My (at the time) new dentist asked me what I took for my fever blisters. I told him, "Abreva." He asked, "Why use something that doesn't work when you could be using something that DOES?" Apparently he and his wife both suffered from the same thing... until they tried what he subsequently prescribed for me, Valtrex. I once had three blisters pop up during my night's sleep (they're sneaky things :(). I awoke with the usual itching and stinging at the site of the blisters and thought it was probably too late, but took Valtrex anyway... POOF! GONE!!!"


"I was switched to Minastrin from Loestrin, just like everyone else. But unlike most, I am doing great on it! I was taking Loestrin for over 2 years and loved it. Minastrin has been the same for me, no unusual side effects at all. No acne, which I had when I was a teenager and still use Proactiv for. No unusual headaches or bleeding, etc. I rated it an 8 only because I don't like chewing it, its gross tasting but works good for me so I'm sticking with it."


"It worked immediately. I was on a cruise ship and as soon as I popped it into my mouth the vertigo and nausea disappeared for 24 hours.  No drowsiness."


"I've had skyla for almost two years and I'm very iffy on how I feel towards it. The insertion wasn't bad, just a big cramp. My period used to be only a few days, very heavy, and I never had cramps. With skyla I have light spotting that lasts twice as long with some pretty TERRIBLE cramps and nausea. The week before I get the spotting I have extreme cravings and gain like five pounds and then lose it all right away from barely eating the week I spot. I used to struggle with acne and now my skin is always clear. My spouse is sometimes jabbed by the strings. I didn't want something with a lot of hormones so I chose skyla over other forms of birth control, but I feel like the cons may outweigh the pros for me."


"20 yr. I got Nexplanon Jan 7th about 8 days after my period. I did have the initial arm pain around the implantation site, but I didn't spot right after the implant. I started my period about 28 days later and it was mild at most, for a day. Then, it was more like spotting for about 4ish days, and all i needed was panty liners.  I have been taking aerobics for 10 weeks and I gained weight instead (<8lbs). I have had mild mood swings that I didn't even realize until I read other reviews. I still have strong sex drive. However, I have yet to get my period this month going on 2 weeks late, so I took a pregnancy test and it was neg. Overall, I really like this contraceptive. It's the first one I've tried but so far it has worked pretty well."


"Tried this gel for 1 night thinking it would have less side effects than in pill form.But I had a very bad experience. Within half an hour of using, my legs felt as if they were on fire mainly from my knees to feet.Got worse with aching,shooting pains up and down my legs.My head felt funny but no headache.All night I barely slept cos of the severity of the pain.The hotness did lessen,still had painful legs until mid morning,but it had spread to rest of body - a dull ache as if I had flu.Had slight blocked nose til morning as well.Felt slightly nauseous.Was itchy too all over.Felt spaced out.Suffered memory loss in day before all went away.Will not take again as am allergic to antibiotics so is probably just me.BV did feel bit better though."


"I have been using generic Ambien for several years. Works = lot of problems. Doctor gave me samples of Silenor - went to sleep right away and no side effects in the morning."


"I had been on Reclipsen for a year and use it to regulate and skip periods. From the very start everything was going well, I had better skin, no weight gain, when I skipped there was no spotting or anything. But I did notice that when I would stand up too fast I would have a slight and short cramp. And it wasn't until I just tried out a new birth control (Microgestrin for 3 weeks) that I noticed how Reclipsen depleted my sex drive completely. I might end up switching back to Reclipsen and try taking B vitamins."


"I suffered from anxiety which turned really serious and ended in a 5-6 month depression. I never believed that depression or anxiety existed but now I really know. It is a medical tradition that needs treatment. I was on lorazepram and Abilify for awhile and it didn't do a thing for me except for make me really tired. I was hopeless and finally told my therapist how I WAS really feeling and she worked with my psychiatrist to prescribe my Zoloft. It didn't work for awhile. I started on 50mg and then was moved up to 100mg. I remember about a month later I was driving home and actually felt happy for the first time in a long long time. I felt like my old self before my anxiety and depression happened. This medicine along with counseling worked."


"i took this 50 hours after my boyfriend came in me.im fertile/ovulating, i never knew plan b one step then i saw it online. im in seattle. a week after taking plan b one step, i have a nexplanon insertion schedule, they have to do pregnancy test. what do u know, im pregnant. i dont trust this pill."


"After taking this medicine for 4 weeks I noticed no help will my depression"


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


"I have taken it for years. It does not make me drowsy and works great. "


"I'm new to taking birth control. Had a very normal cycle before, regular as clockwork for 27 years. I decided on this pill BC its a "mini" & thought maybe a good way to ease in to BC . 5 weeks into taking Deblitane I noticed my breasts were always sore and full. My skin was more oily & I've gotten the worst case of breakouts (big, red pimples on my cheek and a series of breakouts along my jawline). I haven't had a period. However leading up to when my period is usually due (I tracked my cycles for years) I started having cramps feeling bloated & lasted for a few days (almost a week). My mood was fine. Sex drive has been low. Finally called my doc and switching off it to something with out hormones mainly to fight  this bad case of acne."


"I started adipex-p on October 17th 2015... My start weight was 189... I had gained 16 lbs prior to that due to another medication I was on... My doctor recommended trying this because I was completely devastated! I've never weighed that much and had always maintained my weight even after having my 2 children... However the same time I started adipex-p I started doing Herbalife shakes (breakfast and lunch) and then ate dinner with my family.. I also got somewhat of a work out in daily due to working at Planet Fitness and can easily walk 10,000   steps daily due to my job description... In 1 month I lost 22 lbs! :-)"


"Aug 3rd we had intercourse used pull out method took plan b 15 hours later that day and then I was just a waiting game period was supposed to come on August 18 but did not get it instead I got a yeast infection the day my period was suppose to start ..today is day nine of my cycle and I have taken 3 pregnancy test and all have come back negative and I just started to have light bleeding like my period is about to come on so needless to say don't panic or stress every thing will work out this is my 3rd time using plan b.. 1St time worked 2ND time I ended up pregnant 3rd time which is now it has worked ..I just wanted to share my experience with you all"


"Had a few panic attacks, which later lead to constant panic attacks.  This caused Agoraphobia.  Suffered for 3 years and nortriptyline cured me from them 100%.  Stopped the Doom and the attacks.  I was on it 3 years and all was perfect.  Later, I tired many SSRI's and all on them seemed to induce or create panic attacks.  When I stopped the SSR's they went away.  I have been free from Panic attacks since.  It has now been 10 years clear.  Thank you nortriptyline.."


"It took a couple of days but it did stop my restless legs.

The downside is that in the few weeks I was taking it, I put on about a stone in weight.

It's good for making you sleepy.

I now use tramadol and am trialling trazodone."


"I have severe arthritis in my hips and knees as well as severe spinal scoliosis. The pain is with me 24/7. I have been on Oxycontin for 3 years now but my pain just keeps getting worse so my doctor prescribed morphine 2 x daily as well as my 8 Oxycontin daily. I have only been on the morphine for 1 month now but already see an increased quality of life. For the first time in at least 5 years I can actually bend over and pick something up off the floor by myself! "


"I have had past drug abuse problems with Ritalin and adderall. My doc started me on 50mg of Vyvanse because of less opportunity for abuse.  It works well and is nearly impossible to abuse.  If you take more than the prescribed dose, you don't get the euphoric high that Ritalin and Adderall provides so there is no use to try to abuse it."


"This has done amazing things for me! I've been using it for four days now and it's already helping when it says that full effects wouldn't take place until a week. I'm just giving you a heads up that it burns REALLY BAD. I'm burning right now, actually. I think it's completely worth it though. I recommend this."


"Amazing. Helps so much with my panic attacks. It works almost instantly, which is just what I need. By the time Xanax kicks in, the worst of my panic attack has lessened. This medicine allows me to quickly nip the attack in the bud and allow me to function normally. It does taste terrible, but is worth it! Great medicine. Fast working and effective. What more could you ask for?"


"For a severely abscessed tooth this pain killer worked great. The side effects were sweats, nagging headache, and constipation."


"I've started the orilstat been on them a week and lost 2 pound. is that good anyone?"


"I got the shot during my 6 week post partum. The nurse who I seen highly recommend the depo and said it would be great for me. I spotted a few days here and there and finally got my period 1 months later I've been non stop bleeding super heavy for about 10 days now. The blood flow are clots the size of mini golf balls . I feel so grouchy and tired. I'm supposed to go back in for my second shot this month. HECK NO! never again will I get this injection again. I'm in day 11 of bleeding now. I'm constantly having to go to the restroom and change at work. I've been using overnight heavy flow pads since and it's not getting any better"


"I'm seventeen and have been using Epiduo for about seven weeks. Ever since sixth grade, I've had enough acne to make me feel uncomfortable and cry at the sight of my skin with no make up. I apply Epiduo every night after my shower and have been very pleased with my results. At first, like everyone mentioned, it burned and dried out my skin (especially around my lips). However it wasn't bad enough for me to have to use a moisturizer. Avoid putting the gel around your eyes because that's where it burned the most. The burning and the dryness don't last long and are totally worth it. My skin is almost clear and my scars have even faded thanks to Epiduo. I strongly recommend this product."


"I've been on it for 2 years and the side effects were minimal at first but after a year I began to experience servere insomnia and my brain wouldn't shut down at night.  I lost a great deal of sleep and now my doctor has me taking dyphenhidromine to counteract these side effects but it isn't working well. I keep my appointments with my HIV doctor every 6 months so he can do blood workups and check everything.  My viral load is undectable and CD4 count is around 700-800."


"I was given this for spasms in upper spine and cervical region. I had an anaphylactic reaction to shots and have died. My throat closed up, making it very difficult to breathe, my sinuses swelled and got blocked, inner ear became inflamed/infected, making it difficult and painful to swallow. I experienced intense pain at the injection sites, numbness burning and became unable to use my arms. I developed pneumonia, stomach upset, horrible headaches and pain (worse than typical migraines), general weakness and malaise and lost my voice. I had to pull my throat open grabbing the skin on my throat to gasp for air. The symptoms have lasted for over 2 weeks. I was given prednisone to reduce the inflammation of my throat so I could breathe and swallow a little easier. Horrible!"


"I've been on the patch now for about a month and a half, and was previously on Nuvaring for birth control. Since I'm not a huge fan of oral contraceptives (I forget to take pills regularly) this seemed like the perfect option. Unlike Nuvaring, my libido hasn't disappeared a month into my new regimen, I don't seem to be gaining weight, and I don't have headaches. In response to the people who say the patch doesn't stay on, try wiping the application site with some rubbing alcohol on a cotton round. I haven't had trouble with the patch staying on once, and I'm six patches in. The only problem is that sometimes the adhesive around the edges gets some lint stuck to it or the patch will wrinkle a bit in the middle, but other than that it's great"


"Have suffered with clinical depression for fifteen years and have been on numerous antidepressants. Have now been taking lithium for 9 months and have had a lot of problems including hands shaking, legs feeling as though they are going to give way a lot of the time, whole body feeling heavy, nausea, parts of my body suddenly jerking, sweating, but worst of all I feel as though I have had a personality transplant and do not recognize the agitated person I have become, the nightmares, my partner is very concerned.  I am reducing the dose to come off it. I have just noticed on this site that it has a high interaction risk if taken with venlafaxine which I have been prescribed with it at the same time."


"I'm 16 and currently beginning my second month of accutane. Before I started my acne was hardly severe, but it was there and I wanted it gone. During the first month my acne became the worst it had ever been, but I wouldn't give up and it gradually began to clear up. I've experienced no severe side effects other than dryness everywhere. I now have about as much acne as I did when I started the treatment but I'm hoping in a few months the results will be worth it."


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


"I was recently referred to a endocrinologist and he started me on Trulicity and Jardiance. I've tried to take Byetta in the past but had to stop because it made me very sick. I lost weight. But that was because I was throwing up all day. Effective weight loss method but I do NOT recommend it!
I've taken one dose of Trulicity and while I do have mild nausea it is not bad and I have switched from coffee to green tea in the morning. Really helps. That I would recommend. Sugar levels have not dropped significantly but they are dropping. Guess one week won't work wonders and I have to wait a bit. I don't know if it is the Trulicity or the Jardiance or the combo of both but I have managed to lose 7 pounds in 5 days."


"My doctor gave me 75mg of Nucynta every 6 hours for a second degree burn I got on my arm at work. I have an intolerance to pain killers and get sick off any kind I take with Nucynta. I did feel nausea but did not vomit which is a first for me, however the grogginess of this medication was still affecting me when I woke up for work 8 hours after my dose. It's a give or take game I suppose."


"I have been on this pill for about a year with no major side effects except for a decrease in libido."
