"Around the age of 12 I started noticing how much I was sweating and it wasn't normal. I was sweating the most under my arms, hands, and feet. It was so bad I'd be embarrassed to Shake someone's hand, wear sandals, and colored shirts. I'd feel sweat drip under my arms and my hands would leave sweat marks on my desk/papers. I told my dermatologist and he recommended Drysol. I've been using it for 4 days and I can genuinely tell you it's helped about 75%. I'm really pleased because my sweating was way worse than most people with hyperhidrosis and nothing else was helping me (certain dry, Hypercare). However, some nights when I apply it, my underarms are burning and itching but I try to not touch it & just go to sleep. I strongly recommend it"


"I used this product for about 6 months. I have very sensitive skin (benzoyl peroxide is my biggest allergen) Aczone gave me a similar reaction to benzoyl: dry burning red patches all over my face. not good if your skin is sensitive and prone to rashes."


"This was the only medicine I could take and didn't have a care or worry in the world."


"I have been on this for three months, no serious side effects. I am very super sensitive to statins so I had to get off of them. I haven't had my blood checked yet but will update on how it did. I plan on staying with this if it works because I feel no side effects at this point. Will update soon."


"It takes about 2 hours to start working, so it's definitely a long-acting medication.  It says it lasts for 12 hours but it only lasts 7 for me, every time, without fail.  I cannot just take the Zohydro ER but I need to take my rescue medication else be miserable for 2 hours before it works.

It gives you constipation sometimes, even if you drink a ton of water.

It seems to be weak pain relief.  I wish it could work better and last longer.   My doctor is switching me to a different ER pain medication now."


"IT WORKS! I had just about had it with acne and then after what seemed like forever, I went to the dermatologist and she gave me Aczone. I've been using it for about a month and almost everything is gone! Finally something that works."


"I recently got the Mirena IUD since I am a sexually active 16 year old & I don't a want a baby! I went to my health clinic which pretty much does anything for teens under 18 years of age for free. When I got the IUD I was told to take medication before I came and I probably should had listened! Because when they  pinch your cervix to put it in it feels like really bad cramps. I suggest taking 4 (depending on the pill) of some kinda of pain reliever 4 & 1 hour prier to the procedure. After I got it heading home I had bad cramps my symptom's lasted for about a week and a half which sucked I had all the symptoms of pregnancy you could say. Symptom's were high sense of smell, nausea, couldn't keep down most foods, light headed, bleeding"


"Got this because my ADHD would make it super hard to take the pill on a regular basis. Insertion didn't hurt at all, although the bruise stayed for like three weeks. Bled constantly for a week and a half directly after insertion, but haven't had a single period since! Also, of course, has been super good at keeping me from getting pregnant. I highly recommend it."


"While this birth control did it's job by being a good contraceptive, I have a lot of symptoms with it.

I gained 15 lbs in the first 2 months, had so much acne, and just felt like complete crap. I couldn't do it anymore after the 6th month, so I stopped taking it.

Everyone is different but it is definitely not for me."


"No side effects. Did not see anyone who listed pain relief. It was prescribed for my daytime sleepiness, but I noticed that my arthritic pain (knees and back) was much less. Had much more energy as well."


"My experience during the nexplon is great not a pregnancy yet.  My only issue is it causes me too much bleeding. I get my periods from every other week up to 1 month up to 3 month . And it ruins My sex life"


"This medication really helps. "


"Had nausea from chemo and radiation and was given Zofran. Zofran did nothing to curb the nausea. I was just recently changed over to Compazine and the nausea is gone! I've not experienced any side effects whatsoever."


"I was suffering from acne and this has cured it."


"I'm 61 years of age. Approaching my 4 th year  of taking letrozole Accord. I am suffering with joint ache which attacks my knees,one ankle. Wrists, elbows but has now affected my hands, most percularilly my middle fingers of each hand! I also get pins and needles in my hands. The morning stiffness is throughout my joints and takes a while to get going. I have calf pain and muscle weakness and blurry eyesight too sometimes. I don't complain as its prevented the cancer returning.I do dispare at my poor quality of life. I take calcium, magnesium and pain relief.I  walk every day and exercise . I've also gained weight.   I'm glad to know there are others with similar side effects but even more glad that I'm here to share my story ."


"OK im still on Sythyroid and my doctor will not listen to me.He told me to see an ob/gyn and they made me an appointment but i have to wait another two weeks and  my menstruation has gone crazy. Ive been bleeding since April 15 i stopped for 2 days and it started again. all my tests say im normal. i went to the er and they told me everything was fine! im so frustrated with this. No one will listen to me!! It takes 4-6 weeks to kick in i started this medicine in November ive had my dosage changed 3 times. this last time i went from .75 to .88 and exactly 6 weeks and one day my menstruation started early i thought that was just a slight bump but now its out of control! I know my own body i know it this medicine. im sensitive to medications"


"I couldn't handle the side affects. Night sweats with intense anxiety and nausea. Couldn't sleep. Terrible. Only lasted 2 weeks."


"I started Qysmia in December 2016 and had the finger and toe numbness, trouble sleeping and anxiety but that only lasted the first 10 days or so. In the past year I've lost 50 lbs and that's without a ton of changes. I noticed a huge change in my appetite. I wasn't someone that overate to begin with which was why my weight was frustrating but now I notice I have to make an effort to eat meals because I'm rarely hungry. I have plenty of energy to do everything I need to do. I am at my initial goal weight but now looking to go an extra 10lbs lighter. If I add moderate exercise, the weight comes off quick which was impossible before Qysmia. I highly recommend this! It's tough the first 2 weeks but past that, it's been super easy for me."


"I had read lots of horrible reviews and was dreading this prep. However, I followed hospital instructions to the letter. A low residue diet for three days beforehand. Drank Moviprep as instructed starting at 6 pm. By 8 pm I was empty. Very effective. Slight stomach cramps for 20 minutes. In the midst of second dose now. Not a pleasant taste but it works and I get an excuse to eat Jelly Babies!
I'm in UK and costs covered by NHS"


"Not good. Nausea and vomiting. A bit of a buzz. No enhancement."


"Have been using Aczone for 3 days..after struggling with acne all over my jaw line it is working great. I am also using Differin at night and a very strong prescription vitamin also- which I like the idea of since it is not an antibiotic and it is natural. Never give up. There is always an alternate method."


"I was given this to try for menstrual migraines. (I only get my migraines the first day of, the last day of, and sometimes halfway between periods.) While it did get rid of my migraine, the pain got A LOT worse before it went away. That was the one and only time I used this medication."


"I had moderate to severe hormonal acne on my cheeks, and many breakouts on my chin and forehead as well. A combination of Aczone, Tazerac, and Bactrim (twice a day for about a month, then once a day, now I take it every other day) cleared up my skin almost completely. I rarely get any breakouts, and my skin is glowy. I think the Tazerac is most responsible for clearing up my scarring, so ask your doctor about that too. Bactrim was a lifesaver! SO happy I found it. "


"I've been on Lamictal for 7 years for severe depression - love it. I do better, it helps control the suicidality and anger and helped me keep a job when I am well enough to work. Word of caution: DO NOT TAKE ESTROGEN CONTAINING BIRTH CONTROL WITH THIS MEDICINE. It lowers the amount of Lamictal in your blood by half, so you go through withdrawals, then on the fourth week of the month you are toxic. So take the medicine if it helps, but beware of mixing it with birth control pills."


"I started off on 10 mg twice daily, almost 2 years ago, went to neuro for dizziness and migraines and tremors worse. I  slowly upped the dosage to 80 mg and the tremors were even worse.  Dropped back down to old dosage tremors still bad.  Dizziness and migraines still bad, tried 4 diff meds for migraines allergic to all 4.  Now along with all that I have started stumbling, toe will catch on floor.  I always try to walk near something to catch myself or hold onto so I don't fall.  I am only 43 but feel 80."


"I've been very happy with Zarah. Virtually no side effects and has practically eliminated menstrual cramps. No weight gain, nausea, etc. Has also improved acne, which was another concern of mine. Highly recommend Zarah."


"I wanted to write a review on this drug whether it worked or not. It worked as intended. On February, 18, the condom broke and he finished completely inside of me. On the 17th of February I had finished my period. So I was on the 5th day of my cycle. Within 10 minutes I took the pill and I was side effect free until the 24th of February when I got my period again. The cramps were worse than before and the bleeding was pretty heavy. My period ended on March 1, 2017. Three days later my breasts were super tender and I had horrible cramps. On the 13th of March 13, 2017 I got my period again. I took two pregnancy tests just to make sure and they were negative. Wanted to share my experience with everyone. Hope it helped."


"I loved this birth control, contrary to everyone else who's written a review. I took this pill for 2 years straight, and for me it worked wonders- I gained weight in all the right places (breasts and butt), it prevented pregnancy, and I had clearer skin. My only complaint was that after I began the pill, my period stopped completely for the entire duration that I took the pill (2 years). Overall, I had no ill side effects like nausea or head aches and it worked great for me! I would highly recommend"


"So I felt the YI coming on and decided to try monistat oval of Sunday night. Woke up Monday morning on fire. It was so bad I felt like my vagina had been sentenced to hell. I left work early and went to see my PCP she ordered diflucan. By mid day my vagina had swollen so bad I was walking gap legged and couldn't wear any panties. So I decided to ice it and take Motrin to help with the inflammation. It helped a lot, but here it is day 2 and I'm still slight swollen, itching, twitching inside, and extremely sensitive. I would never ever ever ever use another monistat product. It literally feels like someone poured gas to my vagina and striked a match. Ladies avoid this product like the plague. "


"I was not feeling good for a week. I took my first dose and next morning I felt 50% better."


"Have trialed this 3 times now at different doses and regular tablets verses XL. It works good within a few days (not like SSRI's which take forever), and has very few side effects that bother me.  For some reason though, I "plateau" and start getting jittery around 3-4 months, on all trials.  It has a lot of benefits over SSRI's.  Had some minor cognitive problems the first week, like forgetfulness, but it went away quickly.  I wish I could tolerate this medicine for more than a few months."


"I was prescribed Armour Thyroid after trying Synthroid and finding out it didn't work for me. With Synthroid I actually felt worse; nausea, no appetite, even more tired, but Armour Thyroid was such a relief and made me feel normal again. It made my hair stop falling out at such an alarming rate, and helped my weight stabilize. I actually have energy to do things now! I have been told by my pharmacist though that Armour Thyroid is no longer being made. I have to try to switch to another natural thyroid medication and I'm not sure what my doctor will be giving me. I hope my testimonial on the effectiveness of this medication in combination with everyone else's might show how good this medication is and bring it back."


"I used this medication for years.  It was comfortable to use, with few side effects.  Finally, after years of use, I developed a cough and had to discontinue.  I've been unable to find another medication that is as comfortable and effective as this one."


"I'm highly disappointed with this injection. I took my first shot of Depo shot Dec 2016 was fine for 28 days where I thought I was having a normal period. Since January 26th I have been bleeding, cramping and literally passing clots daily to date Feb 16th. This is so misleading. I have gone through tons of pads and this is becoming so depressing. I would never I say never ever take this injection again."


"Well I went back on this as it was kind of OK when I had CFS a few years ago and somewhat improved my mood. After a few stressful incidents it became hard to manage my depression naturally so I took the quick fix route because I didn't have time to work out and eat right.

Having achieved remission with diet/sleep/SamE/exercise I can assure you that the effects of Lexapro are wildly different than a careful self care routine.

Day one I was so drugged, I felt high and was barely able to work let alone drive. Total lethargy, extreme anxiety and inability to stop smiling even though I was terrified on the inside. In short, similar to a bad overdose on MJ.

Day two, same effect, I had to call out of work. Stopped the pills."


"Absolutely awful.  Reaction to this was so bad I was told I almost 100% had herpes (due to Aldara causing severe blisters).  Made it 3 days with this medicine and started to have severe vaginal swelling to the point where I had to sit in a warm bath to urinate or dump a water bottle on myself while going (TMI). Stabbing pains, nausea, could not sleep, rawness like I never knew was possible, missed a week of work because I could not even move after I had stopped using it.  Took about 2 weeks, 4 doctors appointments, countless tests for various STIs/STDs for my body to fully recover."


"My doctor thought I had both a uti and yeast infection. 1 capsule was all I will take out of the 14 I got. I felt so nauseous and dizzy the rest of the day, I could only lie in bed, which caused me to miss my boyfriend's birthday. They also recommend to take it with food, which I did, so that wasn't the issue..."


"This medication has been a life saver.  It has changed my life around. I can't believe how happy I am!"


"I have... Or should I say had clear skin, from time to time I would have gotten a zit or two. Now however I have tiny bumps all over my face due to this birth control. I'm highly disappointed although my period is much lighter, it doesn't help the fact that my face is breaking out terribly; It's only causing me to be stressed and depressed, I'd rather bleed through tampons."


"I have full body RSD. (CRPS). I started taking opiates for the first time, 10mg of Methadone 2x's a day since Oct of 2015. Linzess high dose never really worked. I tried Movantik and it worked the first day. After that, horrific abdominal pain and cramping. Almost couldn't drive when it hit me when I went to Vote here in Florida. This drug is garbage. Expensive garbage. Try it, but be careful. Don't get your hopes up."


"Day two of the preliminary 30mg and already I feel great."


"I'm 18 years old, and have been taking Concerta now since my sophomore/junior year of high school. I was also taking Zoloft (for depression) along with my daily dosage of Concerta. Now that I'm in college, things have been going better for me, and I don't have to take the Zoloft anymore, and only take the Concerta when I feel like I really need to focus throughout the day. However, I've been noticing recently that while on the Concerta, I'm moody, tired, and unmotivated.  I also start thinking really negatively about myself, and find myself very irritable. I feel like I've taken several steps back, and should be taking the Zoloft in order to balance out my emotions."


"A stronger dose was better for me but then I got side effects that would not subside."


"I have been on Errin 3 weeks now. I'm a breastfeeding/pumping mother. I was unlucky and got my first period 5 weeks pp. :( My ob said a mini pill would be best for me. So I got put on Errin. I know I haven't been on it long at all, but I have continued to lose weight while taking this pill so far. (knock on wood) So I'm not to terribly worried about excessive weight gain. My biggest issue with it so far is, like I've said, I've only been on the pill 3 weeks and I have just started my second period this month. I was on my period when I started it. I stopped for 5 days, I started back for 5 days, I again stopped for 5 days, and I have just started again! If I continue to bleed every few days I will be looking into a diffent bc method."


"Works well for my cystic acne. Non drying. Also have noticed that it has helped to even out my skin tone."


"The only thing that has kicked each of the many sinus infections I've had over the years, including the one I picked up in Maui and had to fly home with--ended up with a double ear and sinus infection. Amoxicillin just won't do it for me."


"On august 18th 2016, After exams I went to a heart surgery that resulted in 4 bypasses. Everything is perfect and Doctor , among other drugs prescribed me Effient 5 mg event day. No side effects up to Now!"


"I have the implanon for 15 years now. The most effective contraception. No period for 15 years. No side effects whatsoever"


"Hello everyone out there reading this.  I started taking xanax for anxiety( a 2mg bar at night for sleep to turn my brain off at night). Worked my way up to 2 2mg bars a night for sleep/anxiety.  BRAIN FOG set in. MEMORY LOSS like I was going crazy.  BE CAREFUL this med (and all benzo's)  are for short term use ONLY!!!.  Tried to taper myself off and couldn't.  I went to a detox facility (Hospital) and detoxed properly. Was a horrible experience.  I was stuck in a hospital with heroine/alcoholics for a week. If your reading this BE CAREFUL. This med is for short term use."


"I have had Implanon since Jan 4 2010. It's now Jan 13 2012 and I have not gotten pregnant but there is no way possible I could be pregnant because I have been on my period at least 3 weeks out of the month and the rest of the month I'm spotting. I'm anemic and I have no sex drive or energy to do anything. I have a 23 month old and not having energy is not making motherhood fun. I don't have insurance so I cant afford to take it out yet and I got it to make sure I don't get pregnant. I can't afford to take it out and get pregnant and have another baby so I'll deal with the weakness and vary harsh mood swings. Before Implanon I was very happy and never got angry with my fiance and since I've had Implanon we fight a lot."


"I have been taking Nucynta for about three months and take only 2 x 50 mg tablets per day.  At first it worked very well with no side effects, except I felt euphoric and a bit sleepy. Therefore, I only took Nucynta at night.  But now in the mornings I notice that I wake up very depressed and unable to handle the day.  I do find that 1 plus hours of morning exercise helps me get over these feelings.  I believe I need to ween myself off of this medicine."


"I have been on Zovia for more than 5 years, because I have had irregular menses due to a medicine I take for seizures. At first, when I started Zovia, my periods were regular, my skin was clearer, and my hair was long. Only during these last two years have I had at least one month during which my periods were longer than a week. My skin also has been breaking out, and my hair has been breaking off. Now, I'm on my period, and it will be the longest period I have ever had. I have been melancholy, and I have lost my temper at people I love the most, which is not like me. I think my body is tired of Zovia. It is time to switch over to something else."


"Uloric been awesome for me since it came out in Feb, 2009. Started with 40 mg and had small attacks like every two months or so. Went to 80 mg and have had no attacks. I did run a gout fever cold/sweat/shakes which my Dr. Gave me a shot for. I might have a light rash on my lower leg from Uloric but it's well worth it, I can bowl in league and no worries of attack popping up next day."


"This medicine works great! I'm only 20 years old, have torn my acl in my right knee 2 times, and had to have rods and pins put in my knee cap when I was 16, since then I've had 3 surgeries on it and when I turned 18, my doctor told me about oxycodone. Since I've been 18, and now 20, I've been taking Percocet, at first I was on 15mg 3 times a day, just recently he bumped me up to 30mg 3 times a day. The pain nearly goes away for 2 hours at a time. My doctor told me they would work for 6-8 hours at a time, that is not true and if I don't take them for a day I experience withdrawals. I feel guilty for taking them because I am so young, and everybody gives me a hard time for it, but the pain is not tolerable without them. It's true it really works!"


"Do not use this form of birth control! I have had it for 2 months and I’ve taken it out after a week each time due to increased blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. I’ve been on the pill and had depo no issues in the past. Worst form of birth control I’ve experienced. Save yourself the trouble and DO NOT USE THIS!"


"I really feel better since taking Zoloft I lost my daughter to cancer in 2007 and it really helps my anxiety about her passing."


"Long-term use resulted in severe itching, had to take diphenhydramine concurrently to counteract."


"Works great for my asthma and my allergies, but you must rinse your mouth out with water each time you use it. That is a pain but well worth the trouble. No side effects noticed."


"It was wonderful.   I was able to enjoy my summer, run, walk with little to no pain at all.   It lasted longer than the other shots I received.   It lasted 7 months."


"I've just completed my first week I've experienced so far anxiety, sudden fleeting waves of nausea, appetite increase ,acne , mood swings, worsening depression I hope it gets better"


"1st time onset of cervical pain with upper extremity radiculopathy.  Steroid taper did not help, Norflex did not help, Relafen did not help.  Skelaxin, wow, 2 doses in and the pain is virtually gone.  I also received a tramadol prescription but will likely not need it."


"I love Implanon. I was very scared about the potential side effects that I was informed of by my doctor. I had Implanon inserted a year ago and the only side effect I have experienced is acne. I never (even as a teenager) had acne, only the occasional pimple every few months, however with Implanon I%u2019m always breaking out. It is such a convenient form of birth control that I can live with the acne."


"Okay I’m on this medicine right now and I am a older teenager and I don’t recommend it! I mean yes I can have sex but still I’ve been gaining so much weight that I have to starve myself!! I’m always so moody and I never want to do anything. I get very depressed especially at night and I cry so hard until my throat is raw! I don’t mind being able to have sex without worries but it’s not worth all this that I’m going through! I honestly miss my period I feel so unhealthy without it."


"Well, it works.  Prescribed 7.5mg prior to bedtime and it will take you down---initially.  Found it wasn't effective at that dose beyond a week or so and reminded me of trazodone or doxepin.  Those who know are familiar with the overly sedated feeling and NOTHING like a natural, drowsy sleep onset.  Fairly cheap, made me gain weight due to increased appetite."


"Kept my four year old up all night . She was miserable and whined all night. Do not use for children this has been awful. She finally got some rest at 10 am the next day."


"I've suffered with this thing for years and been on citalopram for two 6 month periods.  It dulls everything down, squashes the dynamics.  So yes it helps with fending off panic attacks a bit, although not at first, but it turns me into someone else; a lack lustre drone.  I've found it better to have the dynamics back and deal with the panic attacks in different ways.  It deals with symptoms, not root causes.  Citalopram exacerbates my feelings of worthlessness that cause the attacks in the first place! I don't find panicless dullness to be of much help in the long run, but it can help short-term.  Depression and anxiety has a cause drugs can't deal with. It only fends of symptoms."


"Quick rundown. 48 yr old female. 3rd colonoscopy.

Found this to be way easier then the other two preps. Taste is somewhere between grape-cherry with a salty taste. The split dosage was nice but getting up after a nap at 1:30 am not so much. My appt was at 8:30 am. Note the time of your procedure. Schedule later in day if you want to sleep in a bit. No it's not fun, no it's not convenient, no it's not something you chat about in the lunchroom at work BUT for me one day of inconvenience sure beats having colon cancer or having to have part of your colon out! Just something to think about. The doctors do this everyday. They could care less about what your butt looks like.  Plus your sedated so who cares what they say !! Just have it done!!"


"Doesn't work for me. Been taking it for 6 months,  1 mg 2x a day. It makes my head really fuzzy."


"I have been on it for over a month now , no real side affects but great weight loss . I was 73 kilos I am now down to 66 kilos .  I have hashimotos thyroid disease so it was a complete struggle to lose weight after having my son . I'm just worried as I had a read that when testing this in the lab the animals they tested it on got cancer ...... feeling stressed now i wish i didn't read it .."


"I have been addicted for 10  years. With Suboxone I am sober in a word. I go to work and I function. I feel as if my life has been changed."


"I used this product it felt like the gates of hell were opening down there after a few minutes of insertion, it burned for a good hour but after an hour or so it was better. So far so good!"


"I am 21, no kids. I got the Skyla inserted in May 2015. The insertion was uncomfortable but nothing too painful. My first period with it in lasted 2 weeks. I found out that I had a 3cm cyst on my ovary when I went in to see if the IUD was in place. I have very sharp pains in my ovaries for about 3 weeks out of the month. Most of the time it is uncomfortable but rest of the time I have to stop what I am doing, curl up into a ball, and then after 15-20 seconds I can get back up and keep doing what I was doing. I am not sure if I will be keeping it in for much longer... But on the plus side, I am not pregnant."


"This drug is dangerous. I am a healthy 22 year old guy. Around 2.5 months into a six month course of 60mg/day roaccutane I developed severe depression, anxiety and psychosis. I have no family history of mental illness and had never been depressed in my life before this. Everything caused me to panic, I couldn't leave the house or even talk to my parents. It felt like the drug had taken control of my mind. I shook uncontrollably and couldn't eat or sleep. For a week after stopping, I could barely function without breaking down.  This drug will improve your skin, but trust me, its not worth it, however desperate you feel. Think carefully."


"I was suffering from depression, anxiety and bad insomnia . I've tried so many meds from zoloft ( horrible drug) celexa and seraqual. So finally I went to my pcp and he prescribed Wellbutrin 150mg FIRST DAY anxiety was bad so I had to take seraqual to calm down also my hand swelled up. SECOND DAY  anxiety was still high and I felt a little spaced out so I decided to call my doctor and he put me on 75 mg.  THIRD DAY no symptoms.  I'm now on FIFTH DAY no side effects I'm telling you this drug really helps.

It's worth a shot to try and if it doesn't work switch medication. Don't be discouraged by other posts. Some peoples body just respond different. Iit didn't believe anything would ever help I've been putting myself through hell for a year.  Glad I took it"


"Xanax has helped me with my activity's anxiety, I have a hard time going out being around people especially, when going places like the doctors, shopping, I have a hard time being around people or even just going outdoors also just going outside in general. I don't like being away from home that's my safe zone. I get scared when I here loud loud noises, I'm afraid people are going to hurt me or the ones I love, I am happy with my dogs and cats want to be left alone, Away from the rest of the world. here are only a few that I can trust, my mother, father, My Dave plus my children, plus my therapist Mark."


"Couldn't sleep all night. Had all hallucinations, unusual bad dreams, nightmares. But I did feel the chest pressure ease up and chest pains gone. I informed my Dr. and he immediately told me to stop the medicine. This was my first time on this pill. Diltiazem ER 120mg. 1 at bedtime."


"I have been on lorazepam for anxiety for a few years now. I started 1mg three times a day, then increased to 2mg three times a day. After the years on it I decided to stop taking it and the other seventeen medicines I was taking. I didn't have any withdrawal per say. After a two month break from it I have started it again today due to rough times in life causing me anxiety. "


"I was facing double depression for around 4 yrs from now. Recenty I met a doctor and he prescribed me this medicine (XL 150 1/day) as my concentration and depression was getting worse. Its been 1 month and I am feeling improved in my concentration and depression is also reduced. My mind used to be inactive or on state for most of time and felt scared all the time and that is also reduced immensely. Initially for 3 days I was not able to sleep but then everything was fine. I used to take quite a lot of alcohol twice a week which was not helpful so reduced the amount. There is some hair loss that I encountered. I also have noticed that the urge for smoke has reduced too."


"I got Mirena inserted on 6/14/12. No children. Took 1600Mg ibuprofen before hand. Insertion hurt badly. Next day mild cramps. Day 3... No spotting or cramping. Checked strings and still present. Quite content so far. "


"Having had 2 infusions within 2 weeks of each other twice a year for the last 4 yrs it has to be said that it took a while for it to work, along with methotrexate and prednisolone but once kicked in it has improved my condition lots. You do get a feeling of a cold coming on to begin with but without doubt it has been the best medication by far. Although having tried HJumira it gave me pneumonia, 11 yrs of medicine mixtures rituximab is by far the best."


"Was fantastic for the first few months, but I've developed such a tolerance to it it does absolutely nothing now, no matter how high I increase the dosage."


"I've found this drug to be excellent for treating general anxiety and looping thoughts.  My anxiety is now buzzing in the background instead of punching me in the face.  I use neurontin in combination with Wellbutrin and lamictal. Great combo for a possibly bipolar recovering alcoholic :)

The only slight downside is that it pushed my cravings for sugar and carbs through the roof.  I gained a little weight before I realized what was happening and then put myself in check.  Keep an eye out for that one."


"Doing great on this pill! My moods are even keel (notice moodiness near the days when you take iron but they are mild compared to the wild mood swings I experienced when I was not on the pill) and I don't get any periods anymore, ever. My doctor said this is fine and that this can sometimes be an effect of this low dose pill (great effect). I have not experienced any weight gain or loss with this pill which is key. Also, my skin seems clearer.  Try it out! Only downside to me so far is the cost, about $25. But seems like small price to pay for no wild mood swings and no periods!"


"I tried many anti-depressants before Wellbutrin with little to no success. This has been the best for me with no noticeable side-effects. The transformation is subtle, after taking for a few weeks all of the sudden I am able to function each day. Love it!"


"After trying many other medications and failing my doctor finally gave me this beauty and my life is much better. I like myself my kids and husband again! Lol.
Not only has it given me back my happiness it also helped me maintain my focus on my weight issues and given me that edge for life i had never ever experienced truly.
Side effects of insomina and suppressed appetite (which is a win when all you do is eat on other meds)
First few days heart rate was up but slowed down after the drugs was in my system 100.
Warning! Do not stop taking abruptly!!! You will feel like a herion addict with no hit!"


"I have been taking Savella for about 4 weeks now up to 50mg twice a day. I have seen a huge amount of relief for the pain. The problem I'm having is no SLEEP!  I can not function with no sleep. I have tried changing the times I take my evening dose and still no sleep. Thinking of going back to one a day. Have to take with food or get very nauseous. Just this week started waking up after 2 hours of sleep soaking wet. The pain relief is so good for me ...just hoping to start getting some desperately needed sleep. "


"I started taking Vyvanse 2 weeks ago and it has helped with my focus, patience, anxiety and depression. My doctor tells me I have a mix of ADD/ADHD so he prescribed me on 50mg. I am worried though about all of these side effects I have been hearing about that could happen. The only side effects I have gotten is bruising easily and loss of appetite in which i force myself to eat because I end up feeling like I will pass out. Other than that I highly recommend vyvanse!"


"Pristiq has helped me keep my life together. Before Pristiq I would break down so easily. Pristiq has restored my confidence in myself and has leveled out my moods. I still have a lot of days where I don't have any energy or want to do anything but there are a lot less of those days than before. I've been on 100 mg. for a year now."


"It is the best by far with over 30 years of history being used to maintain weight, with very limited side-effects. "


"Pristiq really works for me. I have severe anxiety and am also bipolar. I started a higher dosage of 100 mg after 50 mg stopped working as good.  I can really tell a difference in my feelings."


"I have had anxiety all of my life. Didn't know until I finally took a serious look with my wife. Doctor prescribed 10 mg. Had muscle restlessness, chattering teeth and insomnia, which I already had and Paxil made it worse. I've had sex for a while i=with no orgasm and no ejaculation. Additionally, Paxil makes me have the urge to drink alcohol were there was none before. Going to my doctor to get something else."


"My experience is great so far!! I started 226lb and went to 190 within three months, I stand about 5 foot 7&half inches. I'm 59 yrs of age just loving this med. Don't know what I'm gonna do when my Dr. stops prescribing this med."


"Klonopin is truly the best medication for anxiety and panic attacks! I just started taking 0.5mg yesterday and for the first time in years I am so happy and even smiling again. The anxiety is gone as well. Thank you for making this medicine!"


"After years of asthma I actually have thrown away full expired bottles of my fast acting inhaler because I DON'T NEED THEM NOW THAT I HAVE ADVAIR. I tried  to stop it once and noticed the difference, one dose first thing in the morning and I am good for the whole day."


"I have been on somas for 5 years for my back spasms. There are the only thing that I have found that works for me. I tried many other muscle relaxants and none worked. I do physical work and they make it easier to move around."


"My daughter is 12 years old and her Depakote was recently increased to 1,000 mg a day. Immediately I saw some harsh side effects. To begin with she has a very petite frame and dropped 9 pounds and now weighs 62 pounds. My daughter started vomiting with the high dose. She hasn't slept a normal nights sleep in a long time. She never wants to eat which has caused her dramatic weight loss. She experiences nausea, vomiting, irritability, and many more side effects. Depakote may be a life saver for some but this medication isn't for everyone."


"Pap came back saying i had BV. Ok was given this gel to use at night for 5 days. Ugh 3rd night stomach ache since day one will finish the last 3 and hopefully i will feel better. Today I though i was going to pass out. Actually hope its the prescription and not something else. It cost $113 with my crap insurance. Good thing for my health savings plan."


"This is my first week using the patch. I am taking 0.1. Reason for going on this, I have been having horrific hot flashes. My doctor suggested, I take Clonidine. I was a tad skeptical at first, but I gave it a try. I still have small hot flashes here and there but nothing like the way it was before. I am actually wearing a long sleeve shirt with a jacket compared to wearing dressy tank everyday… First day I was on it, I felt like, I was hit by a bus, I was extremely tired.  5 cups of coffee did not even wake me up or given me any energy.  I start my next patch on Friday. I will see if I get tired and keep you all posted. So far ten stars.  I am actually smiling more because I am not overheated and I don’t look a mess"


"I have been on generic Depakote for 12 years.  Prior to it, I took lithium for 28 years.   On Depakote, I lost 30 pounds; and did not have hair loss.  I do get tired in the afternoon and take a nap.  I feel the medication helps me live a good life.  I believe I would be dead without medication that keeps me from being manic."


"I've been on many medicines, from Depakote, Geodon, Lamictal, Wellbutrin, Buspar, Adderall, etc. and Klonopin has been the best hands down. Mind you I am 23 yrs old and a girl, my new doctor was appalled on all the medicines others put me on. The Klonopin works very well for me."


"Works great for Periodic Limb Movement Disorder for me. Can intensify if I stop talking it though.....which is a slight worry, as I would prefer not to take it for the rest of my life if I can help it. I do feel a little groggy sometimes, but the benefits are far greater for me. At my worst I was hitting myself and my partner in my sleep without any control at all and would waken me 9 times out of 10. So I was having very poor sleep, so was my wife. So I can live with a bit of tiredness over feeling like a zombie."


"I just stated a .35 mg dose today to treat ovarian cysts related to endometriosis. Awful! I took it with toast and two hours later felt tingling in my face, was itchy, disoriented, had a headache, a sore throat, felt anxious and dizzy. After reading other reviews it seems like this crap disaster pill only worked for one woman ever. Never take it. I'm 38 and otherwise very healthy. Drugs. No thank you."


"A great complement for my Proventil inhaler. Gets rid of the asthma when the rescue inhaler does not do its job."


"So I have a pretty good dependency for pain killers, oxycodone 15mg to be exact. I was snorting about 120 to 210 mg's a day it varied from day to day. I have a buddy that had some subutex. I bought 8, 8mg pills from him and I've been slicing it in quarters and it has killed all withdrawal symptoms. I am using the subutex to come off of taking opiates since 2013. I haven't had any oxy in 4 days I think and have 4 subs left. I hope this works because I am sick of being a slave to oxy."


"I started this med 10/21/17 weight was 206lbs, I lost 10lbs so far. Nauseated feelings for the first two weeks, I'm up to 1.8 now I'm very please with my improvement."


"It help me a lot and I can feel happy in myself for once in my life, being Bipolar and 24yrs. I take 600mg twice a day and it helps me when I sleep and throughout the day. I'm not moody any more."


"I've been on Trinessa for 5 months and experienced moodyness and depression for the first month of taking it, second and third month I've gotten vaginitus, nausea was always present and in the fourth and 5th month a horrible face rash with hives .-. I'm switching and going on Nexplanon and hoping that that works more to my liking xP not worth the face rash though and having to wear foundation annoying, but hey I didn't get pregnant xD"


"I have knee osteoarthritis. Medium to severe, with severe meaning I need to go down stairs one at a time.
I am an active tennis player and have been for over 40 years. I am almost bone on bone. I did not feel the discomfort of the shots were any big deal. A little pinch or pressure, but nothing really.
I made a concerted effort not to play tennis during the four week period of the injections. After the fourth week, my knee pain went from a 7 to a 2. I was amazed and could walk down stairs with NO pain.
A week later, buoyed by how great my knees felt, went out and played three hard sets of doubles. Some discomfort after playing. Maybe up to a 4 in pain.
Played a couple more time and now I feel like I am right back where I started."


"***UPDATED REVIEW ***43 year old with embarrassing blind pimples often turning to revolting whiteheads around chin area.

8 weeks in & my skin has never looked better. Zero side effects.  Purple spots on my chin also gone.  Lots of compliments on how good my skin looks. No breakouts at all. This medication does take a good few weeks to start working & even made my skin worse initially but for me it was well worth it. I also had mild roscaea that was the least of my skin concerns at the time but that has reduced significantly which was an unexpected bonus.  I wish others the very best & hope they see good results in some form also."


"I have been using Lyrica for about ten weeks. I increased my dose gradually until the majority of my pain is gone. I am now at 150mg at bed and 75 mg in the morning. I have found the side effects to be minimal, the most noticeable is mid afternoon drowsiness and a bit of vertigo. This medicine has also helped calm the need for frequent urination. Who knew?"


"I've been on contrave for 6 weeks now and only lost 3.6 pounds. I had horrible side effects. I was constipated and had major pooping problems. And I mean MAJOR! I experienced some nausea, but nothing too serious that I couldn't handle. I would get really hot and sweaty through out the day and it was sometimes uncomfortable.
I'm really disappointed in this medication. I really thought it was going to help. I've been stuck at 260 for about a year and I thought this was going to get me over this hump. I work out with weights 6 days a week and run 2 miles daily. I'm going back to the doctors tomorrow to see what's going on."


"Didn't cure my yest infection after7 day s but dint get the crazy burning some people are talking about"


"DVT in ankle, then again in other ankle then one in knee.  Tried Warfarin with many headaches, stopped on my own due to the side effect.  That's how the DVT came back.  Went to Coumadin and the difference was Coumadin gave me a consistent test result.  Still the headaches almost daily.  From minimal to taking 800 mg of ibuprofen, just to get rid of the pain.  Already allergic to peanuts, then restricted by medicine with no greens or cranberry.  Really tough to find a good meal.  Begged my doctor for a prescription before it was approved for DVT and that could be part of my positive reaction.  Now on Xarelto for 2 years, headaches once in awhile - maybe due to medicine but not consistent enough to believe.  Eat anything and everything."


"I am 30 yo female and have been taking Zoloft for 4 days now & I am definitely starting to feel a difference. My thoughts don't race constantly & I don't worry constantly about every terrible thing that could potentially happen to me or my family. I've been more patient with my kids & less picky at my husband. I had nausea for the first day but that passed. I still feel tired a lot though and have had some tightness in my chest. My most uncomfortable side effect is feeling the need to yawn all the time. The other reviews have given me hope that if I wait it out my side effects will improve. Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences."


"Flushes are really bad, lasting up to 4 hours. Also had incredible itching, almost unbearable even after 6 weeks."


"Been on Nucynta for 2yrs and its been wonderful to control my pain."


"Flagyl is the ONLY medication that gets me rid of my BV completely.   BV it's horrible and makes you feel disgusting. I feel better after the first day,  I usually take 2 daily for 5 to 7 days. MUST take with food and plenty of water throughout treatment. Chew the food then put pill in it, just before swallowing or wrap out in bread to avoid it touching your tongue. I hate the intravaginal kind, it's messy and makes my back and uterus hurt."


"It helps a lot with paying attention, On 30mg once a day and it works up until about 7th-8th hour (5 hours after taking it) and for me suppresses my appetite so I don't care if I eat or not. Stomach still rumbles though. No other ill effects. I would recommend it. No jitteriness as with other stimulants such as Ritalin/Focalin. I feel much more like myself then on other medicines."


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"One of the BEST medicines ever for IBS. I suffered Cdiff for a long time and the aftermath led me having severe stomach muscle spasms , they would knock me off my feet.

I tried every medicine you can think of, the only medicine that compared to helping is Librax but it didn't work as good as Donntal,  however it's extremely expensive,  for a 30 day supply is 285$.  But when in so much pain you do what you have to.

Hope the best for everyone reading this."


"I love this medicine. It makes my joint pain tolerable. Side effects are minor. Little sweating and minor constipation. Nothing else worked for me."


"Absolutely amazing! I was suffering from severe back pain, and a pulsating sciatica from some kind of disc injury (no idea, didn't have MRI). The pain changed daily. On some days, I couldn't leave my bed, and on others, I could walk, but only for a short amount of time. I went to my family doctor, and she prescribed me some Naproxen 500MG tablets. I took the dosage, and the pain was gone in absolutely no time.

The dosage of 2 Naproxen Tablets will last me 2-3 days before the effects wore off. However, I still had difficulty walking for a moderate to long amount of time before the sciatica came back, and my lower back felt weak. No side effects either, so that's a plus."


"I have been taking 20mg for the last couple of months. It has really helped me in so many ways and I wish I started taking it a long time ago.From almost ending my life to feeling in love with life in just a month. I'm more confident, chatty and I'm doing all the things I wanted to do but was to afraid of doing. The only bad side effect that has stuck is feeling extremely tired early in the evenings and I usually fall asleep watching tv on the couch at about 9pm.
I love this drug I truly believe it has saved my life."


"I have been taking quasense tablets since April 2016....mostly started because of terrible cramping from my period...it does prevent pregnancy but the side effects are horrible....I lost 30 pounds prior to starting this pills only to gain 22 pounds of it back in less than 4 months....I have absolutely no sex drive....and the stomach pains are so horrible that at 30 years of age I asked my doctor to perform a colonoscopy/endo to be sure nothing major was going on with me....I understand that everybody is not the same however....I would not recommend these pills to anyone!!!!"


"I'm twenty years old and was prescribed Aviane for my anemia. I was so low in hemoglobin because I had heavy and frequent bleeding (2 heavy periods in a month!) It's only been a month, but so far, ZERO weight gain (I'm a model! I take my body image very seriously), no breakthrough bleeding, no nausea, no breast tenderness and my skin is so much clearer. My period lasted 4 days and was manageable for the first time in my life. I'm hoping that I don't develop side effects later on. I'm very satisfied and I'd like to stay on this product, I don't want to switch!"


"If it wasn't for Chantix I may not have stopped smoking as this was my last resort. In the past I've quit but only lasted several days then I went back to it. I have now completed my 3rd week and have been smoke free for the last two. Stopped smoking completely after day 5. Some of the side effects were/are slight nausea, joint pain in the hip area, strange dreams, a few "nightmares" but nothing worth stopping the program for, heartburn and burping ( i think has to do with the heartburn). I suggest drinking alot of water and stay away from coffee ( assuming you smoke with your morning coffee). I also started exercising regularly 4-5 days a week an hour and a half a day. Thank you Chantix. Good luck to you all future non smokers!!!"


"I was taking this pill for a month and I started getting very moody, tired and then I started getting very depressed. I was depress to the point that I used to start crying suddenly without no reason. I am usually a very happy and positive person. "


"I had what a couple of doctors believed to be a necrotizing abscess in my pleural cavity, possibly as a result of the severe pneumonia I was suffering. After 3 days in hospital on strong IV antibiotics and fluids, my vital signs were perfect, but I was still coughing and exhausted.

An Infectious Disease specialist came to see me after the pulmonary specialist and a surgeon came to tell me their (differing) takes on my diagnosis, and he believed the abscess was actually aspiration pneumonia. He disconnected my IV antibiotics, prescribed Clindamycin in pill form, and sent me home. Sure enough, as promised, within 2 weeks, the "abscess" had completely disappeared from my x-rays without any invasive procedure."


"I have been on Seasonique for 4 weeks now and started bleeding 3 days ago. Not spotting, but full blown bleeding non-stop. I called my OB and the nurse told me to basically deal with it until my body gets used to the drug. She said it could take months, that I could potentially be bleeding, non-stop for the next three months or more she had no idea when it would stop.  I was not aware of this when I agreed to this pill, and it is not listed on the side effects.  Breakthrough bleeding or spotting is NOT having basically your period for months! For me it doesn't matter if after 3 months it works like a charm, if you randomly get your period for long lengths of time - it defeats the lure of this product."


"I've had a good experience with androderm patch. No side effects what so ever. It seems to work well. I would recommended it to anyone."


"I experienced an allergic reaction to Cosopt with a fever and a rash. I have had glaucoma for 15 years."


"I have been taking lithium (300mg) for about 2-3 weeks now and it has taken away my mania and leveled me out. I can see that is is working and helping me with my insomnia as well. A few down sides: it makes me nauseous when taken without food and enough water and my sex drive is non-existent now. Kind of frustrating. I am also taking Lamictal (200mg) and have been for about a year so I know it's not the Lamictal that is causing these side effects."


"I chose to have the copper IUD because the pill made me very down and intense  & my partner and I aren't too keen on condoms.

Having not had kids, I found the insertion quite painful & It did hurt more than expected, a tiny swear word may have slipped out, but it was really over quite quickly.

Cramps lasted a few days,but I timed it so I  would get my period  the day after insertion, so it was a mix of the two I suppose.

My partner admitted he could feel the strings sometimes during "deep sex" but it wasn't enough to put him of.

Unfortunately, my IUD partially came out, and it was removed today. Unlikely to happen, but it did. I'm pretty bummed because it was the best, easiest, no side effects at all BC Ive used. RIP old friend."


"After less than a month on Zoloft, I could start to feel the effects in full swing. Besides being all around more joyful and talkative, I could see the world open up around me by the way it tamed my anxiety. It entirely reduced the uneasiness I felt when going into public. No longer did my heart palpitate, my body profusely sweat, my hands shake, or my words stumble.

It did come along with many negative physical effects however. Vomiting, nausea, hunger, heart burn, etc. I feel physically healthier without it, but it cured my social anxiety wonderfully."


"The reason I haven't rated this product a full 10 is because I'm still in the trial stage. But I've used this product for 6 days now (doctor recommended me to use it every night for a week and then 2 times a week afterwards) And by the third day I saw the difference. The past 3 days I've worn light colors for the first time in years because I didn't have to worry about the sweating! It is definitely the best medicine I've tried and I've tried many things! I hope I don't jinx it; but its definitely made 180 degree difference for me. Also I've been shaving at the normal amount (few times a wk) and putting on my normal deodorant in the mornings and then right before bed I just apply the DrySol under my arm."


"I was on Ocella for about 10 years for PCOS.  Worked great.  Then I got off for about 2 years and was regular.  Had a miscarriage early 2016 and went back on it.  It has been horrible this time around.  Horrible cramps , heavy breakthrough bleeding that starts the second week and lasts until about 3 days b4 period starts.  I have been taking since Jan and it is now Dec and never improved.  Gyno switched me to sprintec.  Fingers crossed."


"I was on heroin and methadone for 12 years. I heard about clonidine from other addicts and asked my DR for a script. He gave me .2mg  TID. It helped immensely w withdrawals. Still clean today almost 4 years. I take propanol also to help w anxiety but there are beta blocker withdrawals"


"This delivers the medication in powder form in a more environmentally friendly way, but seems thus also to have diminished effectiveness. Cost is also creeping up over the last 24 months (now $43 per unit, roughly a 23% increase overall in 2 years).
It is perhaps the best there is, but no substitute for the previous modes of delivery, and a marginal drug value."


"I became unconcious, and some how showed positive for cocaine. Don't really understand how this can happen. I've never taken "street drugs".  As a result of the false positive I can't even get any Meds.
The Drs. Are running so scared with all this miss use of pain killers, that they won't give it to the ones that need it."


"During menstruation, I felt like I was out of  control. It was okay the other 3 weeks of the month. But that one week a month was horrible."


"I started taking this at 150mg twice a day with some relief of pain, no side effects.  I've recently increased to 225mg twice a day, which is the maximum dosage. I'm  experiencing vertigo, sleepiness, and weight gain, but virtually no pain. My doctor feels the results out-weigh the side-effects and I agree."


"I've been on Depo for 1 year and 5 months and first my periods would last 2 weeks 3 days instead of 5-7 days. After my 3rd shot I had no more periods but lately my last 2 shots I've been spotting due to getting my shots at the 12th week instead of 10-11 week. I've had no complications inspite the 20-25 lbs gain weight from the shot. This September I'm due for another but have decided with my fiance to put a hold on the shots. Just remember ladies everyone's body is different so what may work out for me won't on others if one birth control doesn't cut it for you try another the one that suits you best. Good luck."


"Have been on Lamotrigine for 3 years at 125 mg per day. It has levelled out my moods dramatically. Really helps me to manage life.  No noticeable side effects in that time."


"I've been on this pill for about almost a year now.  I have yet to get pregnant, so it's doing its job. Although, this pill comes with many down falls to not getting pregnant. Every single month after my period I receive extreme uncontrollable nausea. It wakes me up every night for the first week and I feel forced to make myself throw up. After a year I'm finally considering getting a new birth control."


"Accutane is a miracle."


"I have been on this pill for about 6 months. Sure, I'm not pregnant but I have noticed a drastic change in my personality and body. I have had mood swings in the past but nothing like when I started Chateal. I find myself crying for no reason at all a lot of the time. I get severe cramps when I start my period and about a week and a half prior to starting my period. I don't know if it's the pills that are causing this, but my periods on average last 10+ days and the bleeding is always very heavy and my bad cramps last at least 5 days. No acne though."


"I got Lilletta in March (8 months ago) for just $30 at my local health dept. The insertion was very painful and I did have cramping for a few days afterward. My periods were pretty normal the first few months, and now I haven't even had a period for the past two months (which is great!) Besides the insertion pain, I am really liking Lilletta. It does its job. I have never had children, so I'm guessing that may be why the insertion pain was so bad. I will probably get it out before the 3 years are over, because I am newly married and wanting to get pregnant sometime next year."


"I am currently on my fifth year on Nexplanon. When I first got it implanted. I noticed that I gained ALOT of weight. Within the first couple months I noticed my weight jump to 30lbs. I have struggled with my weight I questioned my doctor. Who said it doesn't cause weight gain. Then when it was time to renew my implant I gained and additional thirty pounds!!! After that I told my doctor I was told to change my diet. I did lose 30lbs. By exercising and eating less but it was a struggle. I am stuck at the first thirty pounds I dont have periods with this birth control at all! After talking with a friend of the family she did say that Nexplanon indeed caused weight gain. she had a similar experience. I'm not pregnant I guess that good. I don't"


"Had a heart attack on Nov 2016 was put on Brilinta x2 a day. I too have experience fatigue, bruising, blurred vision and shortness of breathe. Takes me a long time to get started of the morning then about 3:00 pm...  I'm ready to nap but can't bc I work."


"I was recommended minocycline by a family docter. My acne was really bad at the time and I didn't want to wait a month to see my dermatologist because I wanted results right away since I had a upcoming school dance. I started taking minocycline around March 8th and took 100mg once a day. For the first five days my acne seemed to improve a bit and I wasn't getting any new breakouts. Around a week of using it my skin seemed to be getting a lot worse. Before taking minocycline my breakouts were always on my forehead and just a tiny bit on my cheekbone area, but I had never really had acne on my chin or mouth area. On mino, I got huge painful zits on my chin and mouth area, it hurt so much just to open my mouth. My acne has never been worse."


"6 months ago a doctor injected Euflexxa.  My knee was sore for 4 months. On the fifth month my knee got really bad, pain and swollen. A month later doctor starting injecting Orthovisc, on the first injection in felt like the doctor injected a knee, the inflammation went down and the pain went down 70%. Shot number two hurt and I was swollen and had pain for three days.  Third shot didn't hurt and it was like the last piece of a puzzle.  My knee feels amazing. Will definitely have these ones again. Let see how long they will last."


"Great difference in impulse control."


"I use it for fatigue. Break the pill in half, that's 100MG, like a good cup of coffee"


"I actually loved Yaz. I wasn't moody and lost about 20 lbs on it. I don't think the weight loss was just from taking the pill but it wasn't at all hard to shed the extra pounds through a little exercise on this. "


"I used Marinol for nausea during cancer therapy. I have to take some narcotics for excessive pain and Marinol still keeps the nausea down that the narcotics create. Makes my life quite a bit easier."


"I had 3 surgeries in 3 years for endometriosis. Tried several different birth control pills and lupron. I missed over 80 days school each year for two years and then was home bound for several months a third year due to the chronic pain of endometriosis. After about 6 months on Aygestin and several doses I was back to "normal." Since then I have only had one surgery in 6 years. I have taken the medicine daily for 7 years, without it I don't know where I would be."


"I have been suffering from anxiety all my life and I was prescribed propranolol 20 mg by my doctor in November to help me get through a rough time right now (working, grad school, internship). I was getting panic attacks everyday by the stress and it is amazing how well it works! I love how I get no side effects! I take it once a day in the morning and it's been working wonderfully! I just need 1 to help me get through my whole day without any physical nervous symptoms and it actually is improving my mood; so much more confident and happy which I guess is because I know anxiety will not take over my life anymore!!!"


"My doc just wanted my A1C to go down from 6.0.  After years of glucophage, he changed me to this great pill.

It has been 2 weeks + and I have not felt so strong and healthy.  Besides little stomach discomfort an hour after I take it, my morning blood  sugar reading has gone from 130 to 105 and below.  In another 2 weeks, I will know my new A1C reading.  I think I am going to love this medicine."


"I took this pill before. And I had no problems with it. But I started taking it again, because my boyfriend and I had a pregnancy scare over the summer. My boyfriend and I aren't in a position to raise and care for a child. So I went back on it 4 days ago. I stopped taking it two nights ago, because had loss of appetite, I was getting mad at everything, I'm constantly nauseated and throwing up all hours of the night. I could eat something and be fine. But when it came to drink anything, it would come right back up. I'm calling my doctor first thing Monday morning and I'm not taking it ever again."


"I remember when I was 8 and put on glasses for the first time and was astounded that I could see each individual leaf. But I was more astounded that I had been living for years without that essential clarity. The first week taking Adderall XR was like that. At once I had realized just how disabled I was-- but also how capable I could be. Five months ago, I was on the brink of losing my retail job due to numerous register mistakes. After taking Adderall my sales numbers are stellar, and I feel like I can go back to college again. Only negative is the weight loss-- but since I was overweight anyway that side effect is just fine by me. Insomnia is an issue, but not overly frequently. Taking it immediately in the AM solves it."


"It made me bleed for a week. I felt queasy and had a strange appetite as well as vomiting. Then for a year and a half I had a period every 3 months until I had spotting for two weeks. I get a period about every 4-6 weeks and skip sometimes, but I'm still not consistent. My advice is if you're not ready to be a parent, abstain."


"Have Afib for 15 years.

Started on sotalol 3 months ago.

Feel better now but it took 2 months to get used to it. Many new side affects but then they mostly went away.

Had 3 ablations , pacemaker and paddles once.

64 years old and mostly in good shape."


"I was on Topamax for about a year. I didn't notice any major side effects at first. I was loving the weight loss (didn't consider that a bad one). It did help decrease the frequency of my migraines. Unfortunately I started noticing that I was having trouble remembering things. I was feeling like an idiot and was back in school so it was not a good combination. I wasn't in school when I started on this medication so I didn't realize how much it was affecting me."


"I had chest congestion for about a week, and when I talked to my friends I would start coughing.  This was what the doctor prescribed and when the pharmacist gave me the medicine, she explained the side effects to me and to drink liquids too.  I took my dose from a 5 ml plastic cup.  I have taken 3 doses so far.  The effects on me were dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and nausea.  My head was spinning so much I couldn't stand up.  Sometimes I would cause me to fall asleep, but sleep was helpful. The nausea was unpleasant.  After two days I felt better.  This was strong medicine to take, but it was better taking it at night.  Otherwise it knocks me right out."


"I started taking this medication about 2 and a half years ago, and I am now having to be taken off it, just for the fact of it's not helping me anymore. When I first started taking this medicine it helped me out a lot. I just went through a two and half year break up and fell as it's just not strong enough. I'm taking 80mg a night, and its just not helping. So I got prescribed Pristiq today and now going to see how it works. Hopefully it does."


"I took Myrbetriq three times over a week.  It stopped the urinary urgency it was prescribed to treat but caused serious demetia.  I would not be able to function if I took this drug regularly. Dry mouth I could handle, not dementia."


"Side effects right away: incredible back/neck pain, headache, nausea and vomiting, and sweats"


"This was my first time having Vertigo.  It lasted 4 days and the medication helped but by the 3rd day my head was killing me.  Don't know if this is normal."


"None. I was prescribed this by my specialist as an alternative to lamotrigine for some unknown reason. I took a look at the side effects and decided it was incompatible with being able to work. After all, if I can't work, I can't afford treatment. "


"I have had my Implanon for 3 years and need to get it removed in a few days. I love it. I had No periods for about 1 1/2 years, then one every 4 months for a year.

The downside is now it's closer to one week long period with a week long break in between. It's been really frequent for the last month or so.
I am about 175 lbs though, and I don't know if the tapering off would be so obvious in someone with less body mass or even more muscle mass. I am thinking about getting a new one in anyway, or perhaps taking a shot or two of Depo before getting a new Implanon inserted."


"I was experiencing some awful symptoms such as chest pains, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations.  Even though countless tests showed I was in great physical condition, I found it very hard to believe that such things could simply be caused by anxiety.  I guess I'm a believer now!  I am on 10 mg Lexapro and the difference 2 months on this medicine has made is fantastic.  When I once feared I would be crippled by these anxiety symptoms, now I can barely even remember them.  I'm feeling like "me" again.  Side effects included digestive problems (went away after a week or so) and insomnia (countered by taking Lexapro in the morning).  SO RELIEVED!"


"I started taking Adipex-P on October 21, 2012. My starting weight was 267 and I'm a 5'2" 22 year old female. When I went back to the doctor 6 weeks later I weighed in at 247... so 20 lbs in 6 week. I almost started crying in the doctor's office. I have never in my life been told that I had lost a good amount of weight (maybe just a pound or two at checkups which probably had mostly to do with clothing or water weight). The second time I went back I weighted in at 231. Totaling 36lbs. All of which I wasn't exercising. I had dry mouth a lot and no interest in food what so ever. Now on my home scale about a month since weighing in last time I am down to about 225. 42lbs in 21 weeks =)"


"Lexapro was fine. It wasn't great, but it also wasn't awful. It did lessen my anxiety, but not as much as I had hoped. Every time I went up in dose, I would start to dissociate more frequently, so that didn't really help. I completely lost my ability to orgasm, was constantly constipated, had headaches, and needed 10-12 hours of sleep a night to even begin to function the following day. Coming off of Lexapro was a disaster. I had brain zaps and sweats, and developed major depression, which I hadn't really dealt with ever before."


"I had terrible toenail fungus for many years. I participated in a double blind study of Diflucan for toenail fungus, and it was like a miracle. Month by month the fungus disappeared. Each month, I had blood work done. There was never a change in my liver function studies. It has been 10 years and the fungus has never reappeared."


"I posted in june after starting Doxy for the first time. this medicine has helped clear up  my skin very very  well.. It has helped give me my confidence back as my face was so bad . I didnt want to go out.   Metrogel and Finacea was far too harsh for my skin. so I will never use  them again. ( I was put on these  by a Dermatologist. ) I am on a second course of slow release  Doxy for another two months as a few  stubborn /deep but now very small bumps were still there but my skin was BAD. I am fortunate that in the UK the prescriptions are very affordable. I feel for people who cant afford to pay the big  prices  in other countries.  I would recommend Doxy . I did research before visiting my Dr. and asked for this medicine.."


"If you're ever on antibiotics, it's best to take a probiotic to help with stomach upset. However, I read you should take them as far away from your dose of antibiotic as possible. So, if you have to take it twice a day: take the Bactrim at breakfast and dinner. Then take the probiotics directly between at around lunch time. Taking any antibiotics with food also helps. Certain antibiotics have different food instructions so ask your pharmacist. I'm currently on Bactrim for a urinary tract infection, but I also have an infected hair that's been causing me a lot of pain in my groin so I'm hoping this will help there as well."


"I love it. I've been on one other pill as well as the Depo-Provera, which was horrible! Sprintec has made me hungry and gain weight and very hard to lose the weight but all in all it's a great pill. No other side effects."


"I noticed on the previous reviews that nausea and headache are a problem. I had those too when I first starting using amitiza but have learned that you MUST take it with a FULL meal and drink lots of water and both side effects won't happen. I love the results!!"


"Does a very good job reducing hot flashes.  Mine have disappeared. It's easy to use, is plant based and does not go through the liver. Wonderful."


"I've had a horrible experience on this pill. I started taking it after my third child and it has absolutely altered my mental wellbeing. I have been depressed, anxious, nervous, angry, it's been a nightmare. Stopping right away, good to know I'm not the only one going through this."


"I had a emergancy c section 23 weeks ago I have normal bowel movements but have been in constant pain since my section I had a X-ray and it showed fecal impact (full of poo) the gp have me these tablets and they are horrible I took 2 before bed as recomended woke up during the night in servere pain I'd rather be in labour than have these pains I had severe diarrhoea with blood. I won't be using these again ever. My stomach is still  bloated and I'm being sick I wouldn't recommend them to anyone and never give to children please it would haunt them for the rest of their lives"


"I started on Tri-Sprintec and I hated it. It made me break out with huge pimples, when I previously had nearly perfect skin. I switched to Apri and the acne got a lot better but is still present, when it never used to be. I don't think I've gained weight off this pill, my weight fluctuates on its own but I have noticed (for me) significant increase in breast size, which I and my boyfriend love. I haven't noticed a decrease in sex drive, but I haven't seen my boyfriend as often as usual so when he moves back I guess we'll see. I'm a very moody person and get terribly emotional around my period even without birth control, so I haven't noticed a difference there either. Overall, I'd say this birth control has been a good experience!"


"I take Sertraline for depression and anxiety and while it works well, it also gives me insomnia and my jaw shakes a lot during the day. I almost feel high when I wake up (due to taking my tablet just before I go to bed to try and stop the insomnia) and for the first week or so I felt sick and was heaving constantly however this wore off within a week. That being said, I don't feel upset or anxious anymore, but I don't feel happy either. I just feel like I can get through the day and it's nice to not be crying and feeling scared all day :)"


"This is a miracle. I have  been  very  bad  for  8  years.  There  was  nothing  more  the  doctors  could  do  for me until this came out. I am  off of all my other medicine  now and just take 1 pill a day. I do like to take it  at the  end of  the  day  after my  dinner  then I  go  before  bed. Will not  be  without  it  ever again."


"This review is just on the insertion as I have not been on this long enough to review side effects. I read so many horror stories online about the IUD insertion and I was extremely nervous for the insertion process. My doctor explained to me that some women do pass out during or after it and that it is normal. I typically have low blood pressure and am prone to passing out so I thought for sure I would. I did not pass out and while it did not feel pleasant, it certainly did not hurt anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. I regularly have period cramps that sometimes get so sharp I have to breathe through them and cannot stand up. It felt no worse than 2 short, sharp period cramps for me."


"I was on Primidone for essential tremor, up to 150 mg/day and the tremor was still breaking through.  I asked my doc if we could add a beta blocker b/c I'd read that they help with tremor and also knock down migraine.  Added 20 mg Nadolol per day.  This did the trick - tremor almost completely controlled and migraines decreased dramatically, two for the price of one.

I've been on these drugs at this dosage for about 10 years.  Very pleased.  The only side effect is that my tinnitus ramped up.  It drives me nuts, but not as nuts as the tremor and migraines did.  I did get checked out by a hearing specialist to make sure I wasn't losing my hearing."


"I am 18 years old and after being on this pill it caused me to have extreme hair loss. I didn't realize this what was causing till 4 months in. It did a good job keeping me from getting pregnant but now I am depressed over my hair loss. Not worth it!"


"One year I lost more than 30 lbs without any notable side effects. Stop meds and gained weight all back. Last yesr took the meds and kept off maybe 5lbs causing elevated blood pressure and a bald head to show for its value. Negative experience."


"I suffer from depression and panic disorder. I take Pristiq with Ativan. I've been taking Pristiq for 5 months.  Just within the last 2 weeks I was told to up it to 100mg because the 50mg just was not taking away my depression.  I have noticed a lot more of an effect from the 100mg.  I think you just need to get it into you system for a couple of months, until you have no side effects and if it isn't taking away the depression then start upping it gradually. What I did was I took 1 pill in the morning, and 1 at night.  Now I am finally taking 2 in the morning, and so far so good.  The depression is lifting. I've also lost 30 lbs since Pristiq. PS. never had any noticeable side effects. Just one complaint: CONSTIPATION."


"I take 0.1mg transdermal patch. I found the patch was/is much more effective than oral route (side effects less noticeable - dry mouth, in ability to focus well).  I prepped my skin for the patch by showering, then cleaning site with alcohol.  Once dry, I applied the patch.  There is a temporary (1 wk) "lightening of color" at the site when the patch is removed.  I've found that leaving the old patch on for 24 hours, after placing the new one, seems to give better medicinal coverage.  ALL hot flashes GONE!"


"My doctor gave me samples to use while I awaited my insurance to approve. After taking the first dosage in approximately 29 hours I was in the hospital. Side effects for me were extreme bone pain, indigestion. Doctors thought I was having a heart attack. "


"Had major, life threatening side effects. Ended up with permanent damage. I would not suggest this medication to anyone for anxiety/panic attacks."


"I had liletta inserted 5 days ago.  I was on the pill but had high blood pressure so had to get off.  The insertion was painful but fast 1-2 min of intense pain then relief.  I cramped for about 48 hours.  So far it's been ok.  No extra bleeding."


"I have OCD and extreme anxiety disorder. My Dr started me on buspar a week ago. It helped me so much I haven't had one anxiety since I started. The only negative is really bad nausea. I hope to control my anxiety in more natural ways so I can stop medication soon:)"


"I've been on Mononessa for about 5 months now and I don't have any serious issues. When I first began taking it I did experience some nausea that went away after a week. I figure it was just my body getting used to it since this is my first time using birth control. I have suspected slight moodiness/ sensitivity but nothing too extreme."


"I liked the idea of the Skyla IUD but I had nothing but problems with it since after the first two months. I had a constant BV infection that was treated over and over but would not go away. My partner would feel the IUD during sex the last few weeks I had the IUD. Not sure why all of a sudden but I thought it was coming out. He would feel it more and more and it was very uncomfortable for us both. I would bleed and cramp pretty bad after sex as well. (I had Skyla for a total of 8 months) I wish it worked out for me because it was effective and did its job. My body just did not agree with this particular IUD."


"This pill did not work well with my body at all. Before my cramps were pretty bad and I had heavy bleeding for about 3/5 days of my period but I took Aleve and it made it bare-able. I've only taken this pill for about a week and I can already tell it is not helping with my cramps or bleeding in the slightest. It made my flow lighter but the cramps and the back pains were worst then when I was not on the pill. & my period would normally end in 5 days max and it's still going and does not appear to be ceasing anytime soon. I read the reviews and was like ok im gonna try it anyway.. but I clearly should have listened. My period was bad enough for 5 days imagine having it for longer with horrible back pains and cramps."


"I'm 19 and have a 1 year old daughter I've had it close to a year and it's great, didn't hurt too bad to have it put in. Cramps for about 2 days off and on then stopped my period. I got it put in because I was super moody from my last birth control and constantly bleeding and now it's been awesome. Besides lately I've had lower back pain that won't go away and I haven't gained weight but I also can't seem to lose weight."


"31 years old and have never taken any kind of medication other than birth control.  Recently went through some tough stuff and finally broke down after almost a year of feeling terrible and talked to my doctor.  Started taking Wellbutrin about a month ago and I haven't felt this good in years.  I started feeling better almost immediately.  I am motivated and focused and like my old self again. In addition I stopped smoking completely about a week after I first started taking it. Only negatives are I am having a REALLY hard time getting enough sleep and the dry mouth is bad but only on occasion. I really hope that the insomnia gets better because although I feel great, I know it can't be good to have such little sleep long term."


"I've been on 20mg Latuda for about 1 month. So far it has changed my life. I've had NO side effects. I was worried about weight gain but none at all. I am eating more nutritionally and wanting to take better care of myself. I have struggled brutally with bipolar depression and attempted suicide several times not really wanting to die but to stop the horrific depression. I guess now there's a reason I'm still here. I hope I'm not being too premature in thinking this might last. But for now I'm taking it one day at a time and enjoying the moment. Best medication I've ever had so far. THANK YOU to whoever invented this!"


"I want to start off by saying that this birth control does what its supposed to do, I have been on it for the last five years and not one pregnancy scare and that is without any caution being used. ( I'm married lol ) BUT!! Over the past five years this birth control has made my life crazy. I've never been an emotional person and I am so emotional and take everything to heart. I feel so bad for my husband but dang he is a trooper lol I've  always kind of had acne but it's been worse since I've been on it. I have gained 40 lb but I am 5"11 and weighing in at 170 is a healthy weight for me when I'm at the point where I want to lose weight and I'm not able to. It's horrible. Everyone is different but that is my experience :)"


"This was a miracle that at first changed my life. I went from being always late for work, nearly losing my job to super Mom! My brain was on 24/7 and never switched off. It helped me come out my shell and be more social, more verbal at work. Excelled at work, at home I sucked! I lacked emotional judgment, was very aggressive and easily ticked off. I became obsessive compulsive, I would lose my mind if anything was out of place. 3 years later I just stopped cold turkey as being a super mom was just not worth it any more. I quit my job and my family must just accept me for who I am. I lack focus and day dream and forget to sign kids home work, but I am me. "


"Diagnosed in 1992 ADHD & prescribed Ritalin. Before I took Ritalin, I was forgetful, daydreamed, moody, couldn't focus for long, did soft drugs, drank alcohol, smoked cigs., and was negative minded. Now, I do none of the above. It makes me feel motivated to go to work, everyday, and I read novels from page 1 to the last page. Before, I never had the patience  to read past page 1. My Doc. prescribes me 60 mg. per day. To start my day, I take 1- SR20mg. with 1-10mg; then 4hrs. later, I take 1-10mg.; then 4hrs. later I take 1-SR20mg. The problem is, after the first 8hrs., I know I need a 10mg. for the next 4hrs. But my Doc. won't prescribe me over 60mg. per day cause he thinks that is the max. per day allowed. Any suggestions?"


"Despite all of these poor ratings of this birth control, I must say that I was previously on the Depo shot, as it did what it was supposed to prevent pregnancy, it did make it impossible to lose the extra 5lbs. Plus my husband and I were planning on getting off the shot and switching to the pill to get pregnant quicker. We still haven't decided to try, but with taking Seasonique, I have had zero weight gain, zero Hormone change....no side effects what so ever. My breasts however grew from a solid c cup to a e cup, due to being high in estrogen. So some women may hate that, some may love it....but this has been so reliable, and consistent and has given me voluptuous breasts."


"This was my best ADHD med by far. My doctor quit prescribing it when the liver problems emerged years ago. I didn't know it was still available. Hmmm."


"This medicine takes my pain away. This is one of the best."


"I was put on LoSeasonique in October of 2010 for endometriosis. I am only 20 years old so the doctors have been trying hard to find something that will work for me and not cause life long effects. This pill did the trick. I have had nothing but happiness with it, it helps the pain of the endometriosis. My doctor gave me 6 months to try it (2 sample packs at once) to see if it worked. I was stupid and took it back to back so I didn't have a period for 6 months. I did spot and bleed for that reason. The bleeding was heavy and painful so as soon as I finished the pack I allowed myself to have an actual period before starting a new pack. Since that mistake, I only had weight gain and it was only 10 pounds. I love it."


"I take 10 mg daily. I have muscle, back as well as joint pain. Not sure if it is caused by statin. Will keep monitoring."


"Starting taking Valium for nightmares.  Yes, it stopped the nightmares, but the next morning was the first time I didn't wake up with a headache in 36 years.  I clench my teeth at night, so they pulled ALL my top teeth out and all but 9 bottom teeth out 12 years ago.  I still woke up with a headache every day.  Now, to learn that all I needed was a little Valium for 36 years!  I have 9 teeth left! The Valium works wonders, take my word for it."


"I have just started taking Prevacid and after years of suffering my heartburn has now been relieved."


"Felt achy, feverish and developed a cough out of no where, for about a day, that night extremely fatigued. Went to Dr on my 2nd day, diagnosed with Flu after a swab. Started Tamiflu that night, learned not to take on empty stomach, horrible diarrhea. After day 3, no more fever, fatigue almost gone. Still have stuffy nose and cough a lot better. It works, and it works well. Just remember drink fluids and eat something before taking it, even if it's a slice of bread. No other side effects."


"I began taking this in August (7 months ago) I have been such a happier person and not having cramps from my use to be periods is awesome, that only problem I have it that I am extremely bloated 3/4 weeks of the month and its started to really bother me with summer around the corner. Plus I don't like feeling bloated most the time"


"I got diagnosis very early, within 7 days after getting infected.
Decided to start therapy right away.
Before taking triumeq: 10.000.000 viral load (they explained as I really early got diagnosed this number can be very high first 1-2-3 months). CD4 - 520.
After 1,5 month of taking triumeq: viral load: 50 (just 50!!!!) and CD4 - 819.

I had and having sometimes some light side effects: feeling tired/sleepy, nausea (when taking on empty stomach), some problem with skin (acne).
With a time it's getting better and now I experience side effects very seldom.
I'm glad this medicine works well for me and seems like my body get used to it."


"**4th UPDATE** UPDATE* I have now been on Saxenda since Feb 19th at 208 lbs and on July 23rd 173 lbs current dose of 2.4 , I have lost a total of THIRTY FIVE  lbs in 154 days!!! I am at a standstill but still loosing gradually! Always better than gaining. I still eat no more than 1200 calories a day, most days about 900 calories. I watch my fat and carb intake but not too closely. I will be going up to 3.0 in August. I am super proud!!! My goal weight is 160, so only 13 more lbs to go!! Started at a goal of 48 lbs and now down to 13! How exciting is that! Get past the 1st few days of feeling nauseated and tired and its worth it!! Also coupons on website will save you a ton of money!!"


"I love this medication because it has cleared my head and made me feel a lot more stable. I also take Luvox, Lamictal and Klonopin for Panic Disorder and insomnia. Even before going on Latuda, I was having severe insomnia but only at night. I have had problems with that all my life, however. The Klonopin helps me sleep during the day but not at night as it was doing. Despite the great effects of Latuda, I recently went off of it because for several hours after I take it, I am so restless I can't stop moving. Doc recommended Cogentin but I don't want to be on any more meds than necessary. However, after going off the Latuda, I went manic and then crashed. I think I may give it a go again, WITH the Cogentin this time. I have Bipolar 1."


"I have not had it long enough to know the side effects. I just got it yesterday and it took all of 2 mins to do, my midwife numbed me then inserted it and it only felt like a small pinch. I'm a big baby when it comes to pain and I didn't think it was bad at all. I had tried to get the Mirena first and that was the most painful experience ever for me."


"I have been taking Dilantin for a few months now for both Petit-mal and Grand-mal seizures. I have experience all of the side effects from the medication. My lymph nodes are swollen and very painful. It is making it difficult to talk. my whole face and neck are swollen as well. I have had painful headaches since two weeks after I started taking the medication. I have also had a fever for the past month around 99 degrees to 100 degrees. This medication works for other members of my family, but it does not work for me."


"I was prescribed 250mg of Levaquin after the ZPak didn't help my sinusitis, and the Levaquin didn't help either.  After the 3rd day I had pain in my Achilles heel, fourth day, I had nausea and vomiting, however I just felt weak all over.  The pain in my heel went away, but again a week later on my 9th or 10th day, I had nausea and vomiting again, and experienced vision problems with all those funny floaters in my eyes. I thought I saw spider webs all over, very disturbing and lightning flashes. I don't feel it was worth anything to me."


"works very well."


"I was having redness and itching due to allergies and I used the visine totality. It made my eyes burn and I couldn't see for 10 minutes. It amplified the symptoms I was already having. I'm scared to use this product because it's painful and I wasn't expecting it to burn."


"I have been on this for 2 weeks now. My doctor put me on this bc of the no estrogen and I was suffering from postpartum anxiety. It makes me extremely bloated and I have gained 9lbs. I have no sex drive and still am moody. I am planning on stopping this week. Not worth the additional weight gain after birth and the excess bloat is crazy!!! My mood swings are weird as well."


"NOTHING GENTLE ABOUT IT Day 1: I took 2 pills around 7pm they took affect approx. 7 hrs later. There was absolutely no consistency in my bowel movements but I figured that was part of it then came the cold sweats and nausea. Day 2: trips to the bathroom were tolerable until that night between 1-4 a.m. @ this point I had little left to pass & again w/ the cold sweats, nausea and now severe cramps just below my bellybutton like I haven't felt since childbirth. This is an extremely strong medication that I would not recommend to anyone. I generally don't have problems w/constipation & thus assumed when trouble did arise this was the way to go. I stand corrected. This is now day 4 and my stomach is still very loose. I am weak, tired, and nausea"


"Did not help with depression and anxiety I suffer from. The worst side affect I experienced was the inability to preform sexually. Lack of libido and caused impotence the entire time I was prescribed the medication."


"While methadone/methadose does do it's job very well, it is not the best medication for withdrawal of opiates. Suboxone is a newer drug that works very well for the suppression of withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone is an agonist and antagonist as well. Not only does it work to suppress withdrawal symptoms of opiate withdrawal, but it also acts as a deterrent from using any opiates because it is a blocker. It is a sublingual pill that is absorbed under the tongue and you should not eat or drink anything for 20 minutes before or after as it will decrease the drugs potency. "


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I took this birth control pill because I was experiencing extreme PMDD symptoms. My doctor put me on this hoping it would help and ease my symptoms by the intake of the hormones. THIS MEDICATION DRAINED MY WHOLE LIFE. It caused anxiety, depression, mood swings, bouts of crying every single day, and spend 3 months of my whole summer break IN BED, LITERALLY. I finally came off of it next week, and I can already feel like myself again. Stay away from this drug, its also a generic for "YAZ", which is absolutely HORRIBLE. Stay away, please."


"I was prescribed benzodiazepine for my post traumatic stress disorder induced anxiety. The benzos worked great for me but after admitting myself into a rehab program for substance abuse I was told I could no longer take the benzos as there is high risk for abuse and addiction (even though this wasn't the medicine I was abusing). After a number of panic attacks I sought help from the doctor for a non-addictive alternative. They gave me Buspar 10mg 3x a day. This improved my anxiety but I still had days that were debilitating. I saw the doctor again and he upped the does to 15mg 3x a day and I have been completely anxiety free since. Make sure you have the proper dosage before claiming this doesn't work. And the side effects like dizziness are easily countered with a good meal."


"I was in a deep depression about a year ago. I was taking Lexepro and Ativan. I saw very little improvement after five months. My doctor added 2mg of Abilify. Within two days, the clouds had lifted. The worrying started to dissipate. I was able to think clearer with each passing day. I did notice a weight gain, but my doctor said this was because I was feeling better. I dropped the Abilify after about six months. My advice is to stay with it. As with most drugs, you start to feel better and don't need it any more. Wrong. Circumstances come up and you are in the pits again. I started back on Abilify last night."

"This pill was my first birth control experience. I used to get extreme cramps to the point of almost passing out. The pill helped regulate my cycle and I no longer have cramps which is great; however I have gotten extremely moody and less patient with people. I also cry a lot, which is unusual. I have decided to switch."


"I have no problem with Tei-Nessa- I'm sexually active with my boyfriend and I'm not wanting a child so it's done its job so far! I began bc in 2010 and first started taking Tri-Specta (cepta? It was in 2010, I forget lol) and, wow. I had dramatic mood swings it was incredible- I spoke to my dr to which she recommend the trinessa and I've been on it since.

I've never been super acne prob but I occasionally get breaks but just a zit or two, nothing bad and usually right before or right after period.

No huge cravings. I've actually lost 24lbs since 2010 so I can't say it's made me gain weight (a lot of other factors prob play a roll with this as well.)

BC is BC so no one "likes" it, but I'd give it 9/10"


"I had 2 laminectomies at L4/L5 and the first one failed in 6 years, the second has been holding its own, but scar tissue has formed and the disks above and below are impinging the nerve slightly.  After 2 years of trying every muscle relaxer my pain management doctor used Baclofen 10mg 3 x daily.  I noticed improvement within a week and now in combination with Cymbalta 60mg daily, I can walk on my right leg without having to sit down every 5 minutes.  I don't have any side effects from Baclofen like Flexeril where I would drag all day and then the next day feel hung over and could not get off the couch."


"I have taken Adipex for 4 months, May-August 2012. It was suggested to me and prescribedby my primary care doctor after I had two babies and I%u2019m not having anymore. I was a little concerned at first because I have a heart condition (PPCM). However, my cardiologist okayed it. The weight came off quite quickly at first, then I think your body
starts to adjust to it. The usual course is 12 weeks. I am in my 11th week and I have lost over 25 pounds, closing in on 30 which was my goal on this medication. I hope to lose another 30 pounds by the end of the year after I am off the medication next week. I was very happy with it. It gave me a little boost of energy in the morning (that I desperately needed). "


"I started saxenda 3 weeks ago and have lost 7 pounds.  I have hyperlipedemia and high blood pressure plus have been a little overweight.  I have been dieting with no success before this due I believe to stress causing too much coritosol.  I was in nursing school.  I started this stuff after graduation and its working.  I am nauseous after dose increases for about two days.  Have felt tired as well on those days.  I am looking forward to more results!"


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"This medication has given me a normal life for the past 11 years. How do I know? I was just recently taken off the drug and have become even sicker than before I was diagnosed. My quality of life went from an 8 to a 2 in just a couple of months.

I highly recommend this medication. It has truly been a miracle pill for me. I'm back on it and waiting the 3-4 months it takes to work (at least that's how long it took the first time).

I have a great opthamologist who has assured me he will catch retinal damage before I will ever notice a change in my vision, so as far as I'm concerned, I want to stay on Plaquenil until I'm forced off it."


"I was on this pill for two months.  Both months I started my period in week 3.  Also, I have been moody and almost depressed, tired and my mind is just foggy.  Time for a switch."


"I'd put ZERO, but probably won't show!
2 weeks after taking it I started to itch. PA should have taken me off. 4 weeks after start, my kidneys started to fail. 5 weeks after my face, hands, feet started to swell and flake.
My Dr.'s investigated and I had a syndrome called DRESS, Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms. Allopurinol is one of a handful of meds that causes DRESS.
I've also read that it has an 8% mortality rate, which is MUCH too high!"
