"I have been on Trileptal for about 1 1/2 years. It has worked for the most part with keeping the seizures at bay. I have gone from having around 5 seizures a month when I was first diagnosed with epilepsy to around 2 a year. When I first was diagnosed I was put on dilantin which did not work. I continued to have seizures; one of which resulted in me crashing my car through my garage door. The problems I have with Trileptal are that it has caused me to break out with acne. Especially on my back and face. Also it causes me to have a drunken sensation for about half an hour after I take it. I talked to the doctor about this and she told me it was because I was eating either right before or after."


"I've been taking Amlodipine/benazepril for over six months and I experience knee pain, swelling of feet, and hands daily. Before this medicine I used to walk 4 miles per day, I can barely walk two miles due to the pain in my knees. Although it has reduced my blood pressure, I cannot handle the side effects."


"I'm on a daily medication for migraines but still sometimes get one that will last for 3-4 days.  Nothing was working until I tried Treximet.  Migraine is gone within 30 minutes."


"I've been on TriNessa for about six months now. I used to take microgestin but I was getting two periods a month so my doctor switched me to this one. The first month or two my face broke out horribly, honestly I was debating getting my doctor to switch me to another one. With some time, I'm guessing my body got used to the hormones and now my face is super clear, we're talking I maybe get a pimple around my period but that's it. I now only get my period once a month, honestly this is a blessing because pads and tampons are expensive. The only thing is that it didn't really do much for alleviating cramps or the flow of my period. I still get it for roughly the entire time I'm on the inactive week."


"I have acute panic disorder. I was on SSRI's for a while but they did not work for me to stop the attacks. My doctor decided to put me on Lorazapem. It did stop my panic attacks very well and I started to feel good for a while, I was taking 0.5mg every day. About a year after I had developed a faster heart rate during my panic attacks and I started seeing my pulse pounding on my neck.  I still used it and thought that it was probably a new health condition. After going to several cardiac test, nothing was found wrong with my heart.
I read a message at a discussion board one day.
Ativan may cause rapid heart rate, a pounding pulse on the neck and chest. I stopped taking it and switched to Xanax. All my symptoms went away."


"My armpits used to sweat through anything, no matter what. I tried every deodorant/antiperspirant I could find even combined with baby powder. I really could never get a grip on the problem and it ruined a lot of shirts trying. I'm 29 and have had insanely wet pits for years now. I live in New England and even when it is 10 degrees outside my pits would sweat crazy. Long story short; Hypercare knocked everyone of my sweat glands in my pits out of commission. I use it every few days and after awhile it will burn and itch, but it is just the price you pay for awesome effectiveness. Hypercare is amazing."


"I took the 12 week treatment and am fully cured. No side effects could not tell I was on medication. 41 yrs I had it. Thank God it's gone."


"I was a smoker for over 45 years. Now I'm a none smoker for a year thanks to Chantix. My doctor told me that this would work and it did. So see your doctor and work with him or her to quit. I had no side effects."


"would not recommend this drug to anyone, terrible experience, ended up having a heart attack besides, never had heart problems until taking this drug!!!!"


"After taking everything else and still having same problems in decided to take levocetirizine 5 mg just to make my doctor happy. It worked miracles! 7 years of no hives, no sneezing,  no itchy eyes during worst pollen season nothing!  (My biggest problem is dust mite, so I take this medication through the whole year) but everything must come to an end. Blue cross Blue shield is no longer paying for this medications, it will cost me $76 for 30 pills.  So I am now trying to find anything that's close to levocetirizine but no luck. All my symptoms returned overnight."


"I love the weight loss attribute to this drug. When at a dosage of 50 or 75 mg per day, I have felt happier. One day, I doubled the 50 mg dosage in the late afternoon. Note: This doubled dosage was done 4 MONTHS after initially being prescribed the medicine.
100 mg of generic Topiramate made me feel wired. An hour later, I could be found with a full cart at the grocery store.The manic in me had returned. This was not a coincidence. I took the dosage at 75 mg the following day out of curiosity.. The compulsive cleaner had returned. My b/f at the time watched me scrub away at an already squeaky clean countertop.

This medicine eventually will also begin to make you stutter. You can fix this predicament by reading more. All in all, B  rating"


"I've taken 4 shots of this med and it's a wonder drug to me.  My fasting sugars used to be 140-200 now numbers are 85-120. I've had zero issues with this med I also take invokana I'm very pleased"


"When I started vortioxetine I had severe esophagus pain and severe ear pain. I thought I was having a heart attack. I nearly went to emerg. I had attacks like this for about 2 months. I also had indigestion and I never get that and I threw up a few times. I had headaches for a few months which I normally don't get. However; though I had all this physical discomfort, my mood improved and I started socializing again. Along with an improvement in mood, my cognition improved and my concentration as well. I don't believe any drug is going to solve life's difficulties but vortioxetine is definitely helping out"


"Do not try this medication I honestly thought I was going to die 2 hours in the toilet coming out both ends. My toilet looked like something out of a horror film. I literally felt like I was going to die. Being a female the cramps felt like labor contractions, worst pain of my life. This medication needs to be turned in to the FDA!!! Humans should not be their science pigs for this drug. Especially being that we are put on this because we are already in pain- this drug is like taking a death pill!!!! Dangerous! Please stick to an over the counter medication for constipation, I would rather be constipated any day than go through what happened to me. I gave this medication 2 weeks and one night woke up with cramps like I was in labor!!!!!!!!!!!"


"I'm a Dr who has been Rx'ing this drug since it came out. I have seen varied levels of success in my office. I've been trying to lose weight myself, with no success. I asked my own doctor, and he agreed it was worth a try. I've been on it for 3 months, and my results are great. I have lost 32 lbs. I'm down to the same waist size I had when I was 18. My chronic pain has improved.

I'd like to address a few issues that people have mentioned:

1) This medicine is not a stimulant, it is not designed to decrease appetite. It reduces the subconscious reward you receive from food, thus it's easy to resist temptation.

2) The 2 meds separately won't help. The bupropion is avail in a similar dose, but the naltrexone isn't, nor is it avail in an ER form"


"Got my inserted bout 10 years ago !! Worked magic for me! No problems no pain period flow normally . And yes I will leave it there for another 3-4 more years. Totalling 13-14 years."


"I have been taking generic brand of Luvox just over 14 years now. It seemed to work for the first few years but it would only reduce the intrusive thoughts and anxiety where you could manage throughout the day. I just switched to Luvox brand name a couple of days ago. I just got my life back. I practically feel cured. I am more mentally focused, my concentration is much better, and most importantly my intrusive unwanted thoughts area pretty much gone. I feel like I can carry the world on my shoulders. Luvox brand name has changed my life forever. I hope it continues to do so for the years to come. I thank God for giving me the idea to try and switch from generic to brand !!!!!!!!"


"Celexa has improved my life considerably. I feel more in control of my emotions on a daily basis. My family doctor started me on it but is now hesitant about dosing. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist to help manage my medications since I have started to have tremors in my eyes, restless legs at night and my husband reports I have seizures in my sleep. I think with a medication like Celexa I would recommend being followed by a specialist who is familiar with dosing, therapeutic response, and side effects."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"First off, this stuff smells horibble. I nearly gag at just the smell of it. The last is just as bad. I find if I take a sip of something else first (I use iced tea) then just chug the glass full, then take another couple Swallows of my iced tea, it's tolerable. It starts working in about 2 hours and honestly, I only drink half of the whole 4L jug. No need to continue drinking in when you're already shitting clear fluid.

You'd think they would have something more of a one glass full type of medication or even a pill for a laxative instead of 4L of water."


"DO NOT use differin. As a result of using this lotion I developed a horrible red rash on my neck and face. 2.5 months later I am still have to apply hydrocortisone cream twice a day to keep it at bay and can't use any nice foundation or makeup. I have read several other reviews where it has happened to people and spoken to other GP's who have said they wouldn't prescribe it.

IT IS NOT WORTH IT! Try anything else, but don't use this product."


"This is the worst pill I have ever taken, and I've been on several. I didn't connect the dots until I had been on this pill for almost 4 months.

The only pro was that it lessened cramps.

CONS: Spotting for an entire month when I first started. My acne flared up uncontrollably. My mood swings were insane and I thought I was depressed. I didn't realize that it was this awful pill doing this to my body. I wish I had never taken this pill."


"I was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder early this year after spending most of my life not knowing what was going on with me. I was prescribed Depakote at 750mg a day to start with. I'd never had any other medication so cannot compare it to anything else but without it I don't think I would be here now. I got that bad with my mood swings becoming so severe. Yes, I've put on a little weight but I'd rather that than go back to how I was. Yes at times I'm still hyper and then exhausted for a few days, still better than being erratic and bouncing off the walls for days/weeks on end. I know it wont work for everyone but I'm doing much better with it."


"Used Viagra as an alternate after Cialis.  Cialis at first provided repeated strong erections in a 24 hour period after years of severe ED.  However after 3 to 4 uses the erections were too weak and too short lived to sustain intercourse, so I switched to Viagra.  At first results were good.  I had fewer erections but they were longer lasting than Cialis and quite firm.  However this only last 2 or 3 uses before the same symptoms appear as the Cialis, erections to weak and short lived for intercourse.  Also moderate to severe headache, stuffiness and fullness like a severe head cold."


"The Trigeminal Neuralgia is very painful. My Neurologist prescribed my medicine over the phone and it relieved my pain within hours.  I am very thankful for it. Only side effect is that it makes me drowsy."


"It is very good no side effects. I've been on Depo and Mirena both of which I do not recommend but Lessina no acne, nothing. You might get moody and as long you work out you won't gain or take the pills early mornings."


"So, I've been on this birth control for about 2 months and so far I haven't had much problems with it. I was on Gildess until it got "recalled" and I LOVED it. So until then I have been on 4 different birth controls and I was on the Junel 1/20 for 3 months and that made me gained weight, I was depressed and mean, had no sex drive. So now I have tried this one and it is going really good, I like that I don't take the pills for a week. My moods are normal, I'm losing weight easily, I'm sexually active. But the only thing that sucks is I have back acne and I've never had that before, they're huge zits and super painful so iIwould like tips on how to calm those down! But other then that it's a pretty good birth control so far!"


"I was on Lyrica for 5 months. It seemed to help with the pain somewhat for a while, but didn't stop it. Also, I GAINED 40 POUNDS. The doctor told me if I was careful about my eating habits that I wouldn't gain too much weight, but this was not true. After I went off it, I lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks - just from water weight. I have yet to be able to lose the rest of the weight."


"I started taking phentermine due to some weight gain after a spinal fusion I had in April 2014. I can't do much exercising because I am in pain all the time. I started taking phentermine October 1st 2014. Today is my 4th day I have lost 11lbs. I weighed in at 212lbs and today I weighed in at 202lbs. It's hard to change eating habits but I am doing this so I don't have to have another surgery. Not everybody has the same body make but if you are determined whether you shed the lbs fast or slow this diet pill works. I recommend it to anyone who's willing to take charge of their life. Only you can make that change. Only side effect is dry mouth which means you will want to drink a lot of water."


"It took several solid weeks to really integrate and start consistently working, but it really works for me. I've lost about 5 pounds in 8 weeks, so about a half pound a week. I am overjoyed at that pace, its not too fast and I can just live and ignore it. I've taken maybe 4 other meds for weight loss and this one is by far and away the most gentle. I was a little groggy for a couple of weeks but it passed.  I take one first thing in the morning and one about 3 in the afternoon. The effect is subtle, I don't push food away, but if I eat slowly I get full faster. I still have make good choices but it removes the ravenous feeling."


"I've had the mirena IUD in for two weeks..I end up with severe cramping every day and every day is worse.. About a month ago I started losing weight because I've been working out 5 days a week for an hour.. Now since the last two weeks I've gained weight.. Bloated and in pain.. and I'm NOT gaining muscle weight from working out.. the hormones that are in the IUD mirena can make you gain weight.. and yes my Dr did confirm that. Also my breasts are in severe pain every day.. Waking up at night several times in pain so bad I can't sleep. I'm also depressed like I never have been and am not interested in sex. That had never ever been the case before. I also have severe back pain.. And I've never had an UTI ...urinary tract infection.. Until getting the IUD in.. this is a bad device and should be banned and discontinued as an IUD. I'm getting it out in two days. Thank God"


"Started taking it today. Not really feeling any effects. Still hungry and Dr said would have lots of energy .... Not feeling that part yet lol I'm at a whopping 262 depressed and hope this works to help
Me"


"I have fallen in love with this med! My cyclic depression was at an all time high, suicidal ideation, hopelessness, severe anxiety and paranoia, insomnia, and ready to literally give up on life. I started on 15 mg for the first 2 days. It knocked me out and I slept very well. Bad side effect was being super groggy all day long and a little foggy. Not a big change in depression until the third or fourth day. I upped the dosage to 30 mg on the third day, and after a week I am feeling so much better! It doesn't completely knock me out right away like the first night but just makes me a little tired. I wake up ready to face the day and happy. The dreams are a little crazy but they're kind of just like fun adventures. I recommend this drug!"


"One month and a half on it. After 6 shots (1,5mg) now I'm ok. But I had almost all the horrible side effects described here. Nauseas, extreme diarrhea, sulfur burping, acid reflux, heartburn and extreme bowel movement and horrible flatulence. It was a hell of a month. Had to be near a bathroom all the time, mainly after dinner at night when symptoms got worse for me. But it seems it got stabilized now.
My appetite is well controlled now. Eating a lot less now. No more cravings for sugar. No more night attacks on the fridge. Lost about 8 lbs in the first month, which for me is good enough.
My blood sugar levels was ranging from 150 to 170 even on metformin XR, now it's always down to 100 or less. I'm also taking XigDuo 10/1000mg once a day"


"Aviane made be feel excessively fatigued, and I still got the migraines. However, I started feeling nauseous, which is extremely uncommon for me. I decided to try to stick it out for three months to see if my body would adjust, but after a month and a half, I started vomiting and having such terrible nausea that it interfered with my daily life. I decided to quit this pill midpack because it was having such awful effects on me (in addition to getting sick, my heart was racing and I was very OCD). Last night, a few hours after the first dose I missed, I started having stressed breathing like I was having a panic attack, and I had to lay completely still on a couch for hours waiting for the nausea to subside."


"I've been on the Depo shot before and other than slight (maybe 3-5 lb) weight gain and slight mood changes I had no problems with it. I was off of it for about 5 months and just got back on it and in one week have gained 27lbs and get skin rashes pretty consistently now. My mood is ridiculous; I cry like every day, sometimes out of happiness, other times out of sadness."


"I started smoking when I was 15. I am now 40. I tried many, many times to quit smoking and the only time I was successful was when I was pregnant with my son and daughter. I went right back to smoking after each birth. Last winter I noticed I would wake up coughing, sometimes so hard I couldn't catch my breath and my eyes watered. Finally, in March I asked my doctor for help. I started on 150mg bupropion once a day and didn't notice a difference for the first week. The second week I noticed that I wasn't smoking when I normally did (while driving, in the morning with coffee, after meals). Then one day I lit up and it tasted absolutely horrid. I literally threw my pack in the trash and haven't looked back. The smell alone makes me sick. :)"


"Diagnosed with 5 mm stone in October.  Dull ache in lower back and pink urine.  Given flomax and started drinking 1.5 gallons of water a day.  In February to ER with extreme pain - could not stand or sit - pain felt like a spasm that started mildly in my lower left abdomen and then grew to the point of extreme (10/10) from my abdomen down to my feet.  CT showed stone had moved just slightly to the outflow of my kidney.  Had procedure to remove it with ureteral stent placement afterwards.   If flomax did anything, I am not aware of it."


"Love it. Energy. Lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks. Happy with clear thoughts and reasonable thinking."


"I have been on Azor for 7 days. I also started 60mg of Cymbalta the same night, I have had severe headaches from the time I get up until the time I go to bed, also diarrhea some times 4 times a day. Azor did stop the pulsating heartbeat sounds I was having in my ears, I will see me Dr. in a few days to discuss what is happening and if I should continue this medication, I previously was on Cymbalta with no side effects so I don't believe my symptoms are from that medication."


"This combination pack stopped that nasty post nasal drip I had for years. It's been a month, and I feel and sleep better due to no cough. Expensive but worth it."


"Added lemon crystal light and ELECTROLYTE water to the Suprep mix.  Held my nose and drank it through a straw.  After each long sip I bit into a quartered lemon.  Biting into the lemon really helped.  The ELECTROLYTE water replaced my electrolytes and prevented a headache and chills.  Definitley doable for me.
Last colonoscopy was with Moveit prep and I threw that up."


"Well, this is the first month that I have been on Loestrin. I have not gotten any weight gain as with other methods of birth control. I also haven't had any bleeding or spotting between periods. The reason because my doctor told me to start taking Loestrin was because I was on Yasmin and that pill made me have more side effects than Loestrin. With Loestrin my acne has not broken out, it actually helped me with that. This is my last week for my first pack and I feel really good with it. Maybe the reason why everyone else is having problems with the pill is because they may take it during the day. My doctor recommended to take it during the night, that way you won't experience that many side effects."


"Lifesaver!"


"When I read all the glowing reviews for this med, my hopes skyrocketed...I thought, finally, I've found the promised land relative to treating my anxiety.  After being on the medication for a week now, I confidently say that I have had zero benefit from gabapentin.

Maybe others had less acute anxiety, but for me, this drug did nothing.  Wanted to share this with those thinking of switching to this med, as my advise is to keep your expectations low so you don't get disappointed."


"One day in, and I instantly broke out. I've had clear skin for about a year, up until starting the pill. Each day I took the pill I got another red inflamed pimple. Nothing was helping, and it was making me feel uncomfortable. I read that if the acne was to persist it could be up to 3 months before it went away. I stopped taking the pills after 9 days, and almost instantly the redness subsided. It's been 3 days since stopping the pill and my face is more than halfway back to normal.

On the other hand, I didn't gain any weight or adopt any mood swings, or bleed - but I was only on it for a week."


"We started strattera 10mg then 18mg then 25mg for our 9yr old. In the beginning it was great, after about 5 days of each dose it was clearly time to increase to the next dose, but now we have been at 25 mg for over a month and the impulsivity and anger has gotten worse again over the past 2 weeks or so, and we can't increase the dose any further. Will be calling her doctor Monday to change to something else. An alarming thing to me is that she is also sad and crying a whole lot, which is new. This child never cried before."


"I have what has so far been categorized as gastroparesis-- and while it did help with my stomach pains after eating, I acquired a heavy restlessness that basically made it impossible to do anything. I could hardly focus my vision nonetheless my mind, and my muscles felt tense and restless, occasionally twitching. It was almost an anxiety level of antsy feelings that I sort of had to wait out. At least when in pain I can focus and actually do things (albeit with more effort), but with this I was useless."


"Celexa was the first medication I was ever put on for mild depression, stress and anxiety mostly stemming from my stressful work environment (prison). I felt no difference with this medication, and I was nauseous as a side effect. Doctor switched me to Wellbutrin, which did not work, and then to Effexor, which is a wonder drug."

"Feel better after two weeks but the smell is objectionable. Takes multiple washings to remove from clothes. My wife has allergies to scents and the odor gives her a headache. She also feels aggressive just from the aroma. I have been extremely careful about avoiding contamination.  One of our cats even goes nuts smelling my tee shirt."


"It made me sleepless for 36hours. I had a severe head ache. I took it because I want to loose weight . It made me buzy getting rid of the symptoms"


"I take this for nerve pain now and it helps me more than Cymbalta or Lyrica. I take 3 of 10/500 Lortab it usually take 30 to 40 minutes to take effect and usually gives a burst of energy or gives the motivation to go and get things done, like washing the car, going to work, etc."


"I recently started experiencing severe migraines following a whopping concussion. They completely take me out with crazy pain, pressure, dizziness, and confusion. They often last around 12 hours and are accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Today my neurologist prescribed me relpax. It was perfect timing as I felt a migraine coming on this evening. At first, I didn't think it was working, but right at about 45 minutes, I began to feel relief.  After two hours, I feel so much better!  I feel a little bit drowsy,  but completely worth it! I am so grateful for relpax! It works!"


"I am a 59 year old man. I have taken Adderall 30 mg. 3x daily for about 4 years. I am very happy with its performance; it has changed my life. It's hard for me to imagine all those years of struggling I went through before I was properly diagnosed. I tried Vyvanse 70 mg. for one week. Although it worked in a fashion similar to Adderall, I feel as if I have better control taking the medicine 3 x a day. The Vyvanse would wear off and then come back and start to work again and I found it disconcerting; it was like a roller coaster. With Adderall, I can expect it will begin to wear off after 4-5 hours and I simply take another one, usually before it has lost its effectiveness, and I feel the same all day."


"Stage 3 breast cancer. Double mastectomy, chemo, Radiation. Started letrozole about 5 months ago. Severe joint and muscle pain especially in shoulders, arms and hands. 20 lb weight gain. Seriously hate this medication but afraid to go off it because supposedly it reduces my recurrence rate. I'm trying acupuncture for the joint pains."


"I started taking cymbalta for chronic pain about a week ago.I give it a 9 that s how good it is for my chronic lower back pain no tramadol needed"


"I started Nuvaring about 3 months ago. Before that I had tried two different birth control pills that gave me every possible side effect. I gained 15 pounds, was depressed, angry, had constant headaches, extreme fatigue and for the first time in my life i had cramps!(I had never had cramps before! not even when i got my period for the first time!) I finally went to back to my care provider and picked up some Nuvaring. I noticed changes for the better right away. Im back to my normal self, waking up early, going biking, hiking, and cooking again! I no longer have cramps and im no longer depressed! I even lost 10 pounds!!! (possibly a coincidence...) I wish I could have found the right pill to go on, but nuvaring has treated me well :)"


"I purchased the Monistat 1-day ovule and inserted it last night. I have tried the creams in the past and had HORRIBLE itching and burning to the point that I was talking a sleeping pill so that I wouldn't feel anything. This time the 1-day insert did allow me to sleep with no problem, but now it's the next morning and my ladyparts are throbbing and I can feel the cream burning my vaginia as it melts and comes out. I'm hoping this stops soon because I'm at work and holy hell I'm uncomfortable! I highly recommend wearing a panty liner and maybe some panties that fit but aren't tight. I'm praying I get some relief SOON! The burning is about a 6 out of 10, but the cream was much, much worse."


"Remeron helps me to go to sleep when I get ready. I still wake up at night but fall right back to sleep. I haven't noticed any abnormal weight gain or urges to eat more at night."


"I started a two week trial of Victoza prescribed by my Dr on 3/8/17. I was nervous about giving myself injections as well as the side effects. I started at 0.6 but after no side effects I increased my dose on my own to 1.2. I lost 8 lbs after 9 days but it kept fluctuating 1-2 lbs. I grew skeptical and started to believe this was too good to be true. After a 30lb weight gain in the last 7 months from stress eating, my appetite was finally under control so I continued with the injections. My insurance appvd the drug and last week my dose was increased to 1.8. Today is April 3, and without diet or exercise, I am down 12.5 lbs (in about 3 1/2 weeks). I'm excited and can't wait to reach my goal weight of 165 lbs. Good luck!"


"I am a 48 year old women who has had Asthma my whole life. I have been on Symbicort and Advair but still had to use my rescue inhaler several times on a daily basis. I started Breo Ellipta in October of last year, and have only had to use my rescue inhaler once, and that was the day after I started Breo. I absolutely love it, no more use of a rescue inhaler or nebulizer, and most important no side effects. We have horses and every time I would go out there with them it would make my Asthma flare up. I can now go out and spend the whole day right beside them with no problem. My doctor said this is the best he has ever heard my lungs sound. I would highly recommend it."


"Trinessa really worked well for me.  I have PCOS and have always had really irregular periods.  Trinessa fixed my irregular periods and cleared up my acne in about 3-4 months.   I also have noticed that my mood swings have decreased since starting the medication."


"This is what happen to me. On September 8th I used Bydureon Pen for the first time. Injection site use close to navel area as instructed. Produced one large bump that never went away. It is tender and can't sleep on stomach anymore. Have problems walking because it is too tender. Now will need operation to remove bump. Injection-site reactions. Serious injection-site reactions, with or without bumps (nodules), have happened in some people who use bydureon. Some of these injection-site reactions have required surgery. Call your healthcare provider if you have any symptoms of injection-site reactions, including severe pain, swelling, blisters, an open wound, or a dark scab.
Don't use this medication."


"Yeah well.. we ended up at the end of the road with the Xolair for my daughter's treatment for her chronic hives. Every day of being miserable, covered in hives that itched, burned and were severely painful along with swelling of many parts of her body to excruciating levels.  She started the Xolair injections in January 2015.  For the first three months, they worked wonderfully.  She only had minimal hives.  After the April injections, she flared up that same night, and has every day since.. I thought at first they gave her the wrong shot in April, and then for the May shot, we'd be able to know for sure if they gave her the wrong thing.  Well, we had the May injections last week, and the same thing.  She's covered in hives.."


"I have osteoarthritis. As I live in England, my treatment, thankfully, is free at the point of service. Otherwise I now could not possibly afford treatment, and without both Tramadol and co-dydromol the pain is intolerable.

Even both together do not wholly alleviate the pain and I do find that after a few weeks I my body becomes 'over-tolerant' of these medicines and the pain again increases.

When this occurs, I either cut down from full dose or try and stop for a few days, and this seems to help these 'analgesics' to work fully again when I increase to full dose again. However, the pain in the interim is so unbearable I can do little physically, and stairs are almost completely unmanageable."


"I was switched to this pill when Gildess Fe got recalled. I have gained weight and have noticed irritability and tiredness. I have repeatedly asked my pharmacy if they have gildess back to no avail. I think I need to try something else regardless, this pill is not working for me."


"I was put on Celexa about 6 months ago for anxiety attacks and a little bit of depression. After the loss of my Grandpa, I cried a lot and couldn't even go into Wal-mart alone because I would have an attack and leave the store empty handed. This medicine has done amazing things to me, I am calm, in a better mood, and overall I don't worry so much about the little things that I can not control in life. I had a few small side effects, but nothing that was more horrible then not leaving the house because you would have panic attacks. I had dry mouth the first couple of weeks but overall I feel amazing and recommend it highly to everyone. Just remember that people's bodies are different, and it might just not be the one for you."


"Took Zoloft for 3 months, didn't help."


"I had two bowel resections and versed had no after affects after about 5 hours and was very useful for relaxation."


"Good at what its made to treat but you gain weight even on 2.5. You may as well walk around stoned on anything higher as you eyes go glassy and you get very tired."


"Contrave isn't magic. For me it just made sticking to a plan way easier. If I wanted to eat all the cake, I could, I wouldn't get sick or anything. What this did though, was make it easier to stick to the 'I'll have a small piece of cake' plan.
I haven't cut anything out of my diet, I just have way less of it. That is because my issue was not stopping when I was satisfied. Now, I just say, "I'll have a piece of pizza, wait a couple minutes and if I want another I will. If I am satisfied, I won't"
It is basically chemically induced common sense. I'm cycling off now and making sure I keep the same decision making process and thought processes. I forgot how it felt to move and feel like this.
Started in mid-April.

"Had little to no effect on my ADHD"


"I've had this birth control in for almost 3 years now, and I have went from 156 lbs to 224 lbs, I never have been a heavy eater. This birth control really makes you gain a lot of weight. It seems like its almost impossible to lose weight on the birth control my weight stays inbetween 225-210 never any lower or any higher. I do the calorie counts, I watch what I eat, I excercise, it just will not go away.  DO NOT PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK IT IS NOT WORTH IT"


"I took it for a cold. It completely eliminated nasal congestion. HOWEVER: gave me terrible insomnia! Use only if absolutely necessary."


"5th month on Vyvanse 30 mg which is on the lower dose end. This med has an awful crash. I exercise 4-6x a week. I eat very healthy. I stay busy. I read so many reviews about the same issue. I did reading about the "minimal" crash felt on this med and it is so scary how pharmaceutical companies try to set the med apart.
For me it lasts 6 hrs and irritability increases. I think it's in-part tolerance. Mid afternoon, I get severely irritable, anxious, moody, sleepy, and agitated. It is so uncomfortable, I'm supposed to "up" my dose now...to see it last longer and my "crash" will start later"? "


"I've been on this medicine for at least 10yrs. It has been working so far. I was on something else before they found out that I had Mitral Valve Prolapse all I had was tachycardia then they found the MVP and the meds I was on wasn't working so I was put on this."


"Both my husband I started taking Pristiq for about a month and it has changed our lives. We are both what we once were and are "supposed to be". It has cleared our concentration and thinking and memory issues and we both feel "normal". Gone is the out of the blue sadness, anger and lack of motivation or interest in anything. We both feel great now and we are both losing weight like crazy. It's been 3 weeks for me and I am already down two pant sizes! I can hardly believe it! I am not starving constantly anymore like I used to be on other medicines and I eat when I need to instead of eating to fill an emptiness. I love Pristiq so far."


"Tried this 1 day product, I'm mad as hell, the burning intensified more than before, no real relief, save yourself the trouble just go see your doctor."


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


"I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism about six years ago. I had gained a lot of weight and couldn't lose it, and I had almost all symptoms (thinning hair and eyebrows, low body temp, lethargy, etc.) During my first year on thyroxine, I lost 50 pounds. It just came off. I was ecstatic.

Slowly, my weight went up. I gained 20 pounds, which was okay because I was still a normal weight. About 3 months ago, my doctor upped by dosage. Suddenly KABOOM - I gained 12 pounds within two months - five of those pounds were gained between last night and this morning.

That's when I knew something was wrong. I haven't been overeating and I'm active. But the pounds I've gained will NOT come off. No more."


"I have not gained any comfort using this drug."


"Excellent medication for my Panic disorder. You need to take it for 2 weeks before feeling any improvement, no real side effects, yawning and tiredness mainly."


"I had tried numerous anti depressants before settling on Citalopram. It had the least unpleasant side effects for me. I have taken a small dose daily for approx 5 years. It seems to help me to not feel so low. I'm not sure if some of it is possibly psychosomatic eg a placebo affect. But I'll keep using it as long as it seems to help. My type of depression has been long term since 18. I'm now 53."


"Love this medicine.  I got impetigo a few years back.  A few days of applying this and it was completely gone.  Works great for acne, too.  Something I always keep in my medicine cabinet. "


"I was introduced to seasonale when i saw my friend have a purple case with pink pills in it. I asked her about her birthcontrol compared to the tri-lo brand pills i was taking. The difference was that with hers you could go three months and not get your period. I thought that was awesome, so i switched from my free pills to the $74 seasonale pills. Ive been on them for a while i think almost a year n a half by now..but recentally ive noticed that my breasts are leaking milk or a white substance, this happens for about a week after my period..every three months but this last week i felt it got worse, i actually had to start pumping my breasts as my body thought i was pregnant. I really felt uncomfortable and so now im changing my pills."


"We had a failure with the condom. After my girlfriend was able to take the pill 9 hours later. She had a couple days of intense cramping but it came and went. 2 weeks later she got her period on time. I would highly recommend to take the pill within the first 12 hours. If you do You should be fine. The sooner you take it the better. So don't stress about it to much, you will drive yourself crazy when there's a high chance you won't get pregnant. My situation was pretty bad so I'm sure if it worked for me, it will work for you."


"It works better than Vicodin for my lower back pain. It takes about 45 minutes to kick in."


"I have a long history of severe opiate addiction. My drug of choice was IV hydromorphone.  I struggled with cravings when clean for years. In Feb this year I found a study which suggested that clonidine could be used as long-term therapy for stress-induced cravings in cocaine addicts. I asked my doc to try this on me and he did. I am on 0.1-0.3 mg 4 times a day. Have been for almost 10 months. Careful about low blood pressure at first. The first dose I took immediately eliminated my cravings, which I found incredible to believe. Not only did I not crave but I did not care. 2 months later also using the patch, I quit smoking. I don't crave cigarettes either, even around smokers. Highly recommended."


"Been on amitriptyline for 3-1/2 weeks now  i.e.  10mg for 1st 3 weeks and now 20mg for last few days, taken at night before sleeping. It has reduced my lower back and other arthritic pains all day, helped me get better sleep, and also reduced my depression/anxiety levels considerably. So far I am a definite fan. The only negative side effect so far is occasional moderate dry mouth which is tolerable, particularly considering all the benefits."


"I have extensive long-term back damage I will suffer from for the rest of my life. I have been prescribed Norco now for over 2 years and takes my pain level from a 10 to a 7. My body has not yet become immune to the benefits Norco, it offers to relieve my pain even after 2 years. This medicine, combined with aqua therapy, and psychological therapy has made a HUGE improvement to my life."


"I went to see the doctor after 2 days of heat and inactivity did not help my back. After examining me and taking X-rays he prescribed the Naprelan 500mg time release for me. He also went as far as to warn me that even though I would feel better it was not healed and I needed to take it easy. I am so glad he did because after 2 days I felt almost back to normal even though the back condition was such that I am be referred to physical therapy for it. Long story short, this medicine works, just be careful."


"I wish I read the reviews before applying because I would have never applied it. It is painful and burning and I don't understand how it's allowed in shelves. Please never buy this. There's a 50% chance you will feel this hot cheeto inflammation instead of relief."


"STICK WITH IT!!! I didn't really start seeing results to about the second month. You have to remember its not a magic pill, though it does curbs your appetite for carbs and sugar. (I'm in LOVE with Candy). I found myself not even wanting "junk food" for a snack. My advice is start doing some exercise. Example: 100 jumping jacks, 100 squats and 100 sit ups. I was at 185 at the start now I'm at 174ish. That's about 10 pounds in a month so that's right on a healthy track. Oh and drink only water!! It really helps. As the saying goes " Don't complain about not making any progress if you don't put forth any effort""


"I've had cold sores my entire life, recently I've been getting outbreak after outbreak. Each one increasing in severity. Last week I started to get what I thought was going to be a minor outbreak as I had just recovered from my last one the week before. I got online and started researching homeopathic remedies, OTC (Abreva, Releev, l lysine, Campho) only seem to work if I use it at just the right time. So I starting trying all the home remedies I read about. Hydrogen peroxide, ice, tea bag, toothpaste, etc. Well, nothing worked. After missing 4 days of school and barely sleeping all week I went to an urgent care, I was prescribed Valtrex. The new sores stopped forming almost immediately and the older ones started healing very fast."


"Put it this way, I've no intention of ever coming off Pristiq. Almost a year and I'm a new woman. It was my first 4th dip of rock bottom but I won't have another one.
Depression has such a stigma!
What about 'neurotransmitter condition'
!!!"


"I got this psoriasis when I was in my early 20's and I thought it was nothing because it started in my head. Itching and redness followed but still I ignored it not until it got bigger then I went to my doctor to get checked up. First, he doesn't know what kind of condition I have. He gave me a lot of things that made no effects on my skin. Bottom line was he didn't made me feel better until I discovered Clobex. I used the shampoo and spray in the same time but you need to be aware that over time any medications will not work. You need to take a break otherwise you will be immune to it or even worse. My skin cleared but after few months it came back so be careful using any medications."


"Love this medicine!! I've lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. It also stop the cravings for  alcohol and cigarettes. So I've quit smoking and drinking!! Love it no side effects either other than the first day where I felt like I had the worse hangover ever!! But now I feel great!"


"Only thing that stops my very complex seizures- tried almost everything and it never helped + terrible side effects *UNTIL* I was prescribed this since I was a teen. Easiest on my system and no side effects."


"I'm on my second month of taking Loestrin, the first month was just fine, although I've had migraine headaches since taking this pill. Now on my second month I've had spotting, light breakthrough bleeding, and cramps on and off. My doctor told me to stick with it for another month. My periods are much lighter and fewer days which is why I started taking this birth control pill to keep from becoming anemic again."


"I have been very impressed. I was taking 10-12 Norco on a daily basis for pain control. This is my third week and I am now taking the 30 mg. I am taking very little Norco now for breakthrough pain. I am less groggy and have better concentration. It did take about a week to get used to the new medicine. All I wanted to do was sleep for that week. Now the only issue is the constipation which is brutal. Although some Senna and Miralax work well.

I am actually thrilled with how much better I feel. It is like suddenly waking up and being alive to participate in life again. WOW"


"Before Relistor/or Movantik.,  anyone in this world experience trying to pass a friggin baseball?? Literally true.. I was on a miracle drug called  Movantik for 1 month $435.00!!!  And they are pills,1 pill on empty stomach with a bottle of water say 8 am, on pot within 30 minutes, oh what a relief it is!!  My insurance wouldn't cover it  :(  because its not on their formulary list,  but will cover Relistor for $2000.00.. but if this works like Movantik it's my miracle drug..I'm just scared of the side effects from Relistor,  I had slight side effects  with Movantik. Such as withdraw symptoms,  not everyday , so wish me luck, my 1st dose is tomorrow morning. 7/14/17"


"Treatment for Conversion Disorder - I used to fall down on a daily basis and now I can go without months of falling down. Also excellent as a migraine preventer."


"I have been taking Yaz for a little less than a year, but I love it! I'm 18 and a freshman in college, I barely ever have the side effects, and I can tell you when I will start my period pretty much down to the hour. I have suffered little weight gain (but then again, I'm a freshman). I've noticed that my side effects aren't as bad when I do daily exercise. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I love this pill and would recommend it for anyone!"


"I've been taking this medicine for colitis for 3 years and now I can take my daughters out by myself. I'm not running to the bathroom or having accidents, it's wonderful. I do have constipation. So anyone with colitis should try it - I take 2 pills in the morning then 1 every 5 hours everyday, and I'm loving life finally."


"Suffer from sudden onset of severe paroxysmal hypertension probably best described as Page's Syndrome. Despite the use of four other powerful medicines, Reserpine is the first one to stabilize my labile hypertension. Side effects are nasal congestion and occasional stomach upset. I recommend it for those patients without other conditions."


"Mama said "If it's too good to be true, it probably is".  Except for Cambia.  This is good stuff.  I get headaches so often I don't often notice unless it's a bad one.  Relief comes within 10 to 15 minutes. Maybe even less on an empty stomach.  Pain, throbbing, sensitivity, all of it.  Best part- I can take it at work (elementary special needs teacher) with no impairment, drowsiness, or pesky side effects whatsoever. That's a BIG deal when working with kids.  I keep two packets in my wallet at all times.

PS: The taste, mint and black jellybeans, was hard for me to swallow at first.  But it's no worse than NyQuil or Robitussin or any of the other horrid things we take to feel better. So what?"


"If you just started this medicine I know you're probably feeling bad about you acne. BUT LISTEN Bactrim works from the inside out and if you breakout in the first few weeks that's fine stick with it because soon your skin will be clear and Bactrim will help stop breakouts from ever happening in the first place soon! Cleared my hormonal acne. I rarely get a pimple and I had moderate to server acne and it was a life saver! Your acne will be cleared in just a few months. I suggest using a topical gel as well. Hang in there it helped me during a rough time in just 3 1/2 months I had a clear face, just a few acne marks on my cheeks only thing that stinks is I'm scared to go off the antibiotic and have a repulse of acne. But I suggest this!"


"I have been overseas for nearly a month now and started experiencing stomach cramps every morning for about a week and then continued with no BM, I'm 19 and have never had issues like this before. Possibly from the food I've been eating not sure, went to a pharmacy here in Thailand and dulcolax is what they gave me, took 2 pills at 7:30pm and went to sleep and woke up at 2am with stomach cramps, painful but bearable. A BM followed where it started off normal before ending in diarhea. Went again about 10 minutes later and am now back in bed at 4am feeling as though I'll get back to sleep with little pain, although my stomach is still rumbling. Not sure what all the fuss is about it's done the job and I feel good that my bowels are clear."


"So I have experienced constipation ever since I was a kid, I am now 21, and have to regularly take lactulose liquid around once a week. I need something stronger for medication induced constipation and decided to take Ducolax in the morning around 11 to achieve a result by the evening. After dinner at 6 I felt completely cleaned out and had some minor cramping before dinner, however drinking lots of water seemed to make things move faster. I wouldn't recommend taking it all the time because it is strong but for constipation that won't budge with anything else, this works."


"Wow!!!!! I have not been feeling well for a long time. Until Toprol lx 25mg. My head is clear. I can think straight. I dont have any anxiety. My work performance is at it greatest level. Even my sexual drive is back. I get up rested in the morning and fell no fatigue. I dont know about anyone else but I'm glad to take this medication."


"Worked well in the beginning, felt better than I had in years with the exception of nausea the first couple days.  This medicine does NOT sit well on an empty stomach! Cleared up the fibro fog, had not felt so awake in 6 years.  This did not last though.  Eventually felt normal except minus the fibro fog but with continuous migraines.  Felt like I was having PMS constantly.  Did not see any relief from pain.  Very emotional and cold chills. "


"Pristiq has worked great for me for anxiety and depression two separate times throughout my life when I was put on other ADs and they didn't work as they should, including Prozac and Cymbalta. Takes awhile to get stable in your system but after about 6 months I was back to myself. Definitely recommend, the only con for me is that if you miss a pill you can definitely tell.  I get wierd dreams if I miss a pill and feel grogy and irritable. When I had been on prozac missing a pill was never noticeable. Also,  it is more expensive as there is no generic. It is worth it to me however to have something that fully works! Good luck to you!"


"I had my first colonoscopy yesterday. I was given Propofol, now it true light out quickly.

Here it is and I am trouble typing,  I feel foggy,  like I lost coordination, and trouble focusing.

Hope this goes away soon."


"I have since I was very young displayed what I know now as Type I Bipolor disorder. Probably one of the worst feeling in the world is to have emotions ebb in and out like tall crashing waves. Then the sun comes out and the water is calm. Then a couple days later here comes the storm. It is the worst feeling to think there is nothing that will help. I felt that way.....time after time different meds. Abilify to be one exact example led me to have Hypothyroidism. A condition I have to have meds for the rest of my life. I have after trying many different meds for depression to find only one medicine I would suggest and that is Lamictal. If you are compatible with this medication it will help the mood swings a great deal."


"I have been on this medication for three months now and it is the worst decision I've ever made in my life. I started with moderate cystic acne, my doctor said that doxycycline would work wonders for it, and, sadly, I believed him. Although now I very rarely get cysts, I have broken out severely on my cheeks and forehead in ten to fifteen hard inflamed bumps at a time, and this medication has left immense scarring all along my cheeks that cannot be covered by makeup. My skin is a thousand times worse now than it was when I started. Please don't start this medication. "


"I started with Lexapro about 2 years ago. I was angry at everyone. Someone walking down the street, someone in a car, people I didn't know let alone my family. I was in pain, working, doing what you have to do and I was mad. This was a great medicine for me. I take many other medicines but this is one I wouldn't want to give up."


"Not nearly as "masking" as Lortab or Vicodin, but measurably close.  It's definitely noticeable that caffeine exists among the ingredients, too.  I've felt fairly pain free since taking this medicine."


"my grandson just started Guanfacine 1mg tablets this medication for his ADHD and has slept all day, he was taking Strattera but broke out in a bad rash all over his body. we are new to this and some of these responses are good information. thanks to all who share"


"Been on Humira over two years. This medicine brought my Crohn's under control. I am on one pen every two weeks. Brought it into remission. Well worth the painful shot. That pain is gone in seconds. Beats chronic pain."


"No period immedietly for the last 2.5 years! Great! My cycle was regular before then. I was depressed leading up to the implant and was worried it would make things worse but it didn't. I have had annoying but not particularly problematic ailments since implant (like ringing in ears and strange bruise marks on lower leg) but not thought related so I have been told. Coming up for replace or remove in November undecided but would like it again."


"I have been on Celexa for years, just some advice for people who take this medication. If your feeling sick drink a glass of milk and cut down on your water in take, your just flushing it out your system. 20 year plus anxiety suffer,"


"I was a heavy drinker from the time I was 15 or so until I was 27 and found Naltrexone. If I wasn't at work or asleep I was drinking, actually sometimes I drank at work. Many ruined relationships and scrapes with death as well as law enforcement. As hard as it was, I stayed sober for 6 whole days before I started the medicine. From the moment I took the first pill, it. was. gone. I was no longer an alcoholic. They say that once a drunk always a drunk, I'm living proof that is false. I took Naltrexone for 6 months and never looked back. I'm 39 now. Naltrexone changed and saved my life. Thank you!"


"About two weeks into having it in my arm, it started to hurt. Then I found I couldn't even find it in my arm! I went to my obgyn and she felt around and found it. So about the third week, I got my period. And here I was, in July, still on my period. I gained about 10 pounds in those months, low sex drive, awful mood swings, and major depression. Not to mention the dang thing hurt so bad in my arm I could hardly stand it! I finally told my obgyn I wanted it out and after about 30 minutes, she couldn't get it out. I had to get general surgery to have it removed! That took about 30 minutes, and a lot of pain, to get out. The implanon had ATTACHED itself to the scar tissue that surrounded the muscle in my arm. Would not recommend!"


"I started out on Valium 5 mg 4 times a day when I was 22 due to petit-mal seizures. The doctors said my anxiety was causing my blood pressure to go out the roof. At age 29 had a heart attack due to anxiety making my BP so high I was in V fib. Now at age 38 I'm taking Xanax 2 mg 3 times a day. For me all the antidepressants cause some kind of stimulation hat makes my anxiety worsen so I stopped the SSRI's. It is working for now but I fear what happens when this doesn't work anymore what am I going to do. So tired of having anxiety and panic disorder. I don't think too many doctors understand what a profound problem this causes in ones life. So really express how you really feel to your Doc."


"Pristiq changed my life for the good. I tried others, this was the only one that worked and worked wonders for me. The only downside was a weight gain first year or two  which is now under control."


"This is a real good medicine. It controls my blood pressure and I like the way it works."


"I was put on Depakote originally to control my seizures.  I loved it.   Then when I found out it also was used as a medicine for bipolar disorder, I was thrilled.  However, then the love affair ended.  My husband and I went to a Reproductive Endocrinologist  and found out that it commonly caused women to have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS.  I now have it, and am taking medicine for diabetes, which PCOS can lead to.  I still wish that I could take it because it really helped with my seizures, and also helped with my bipolar disorder."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia six years ago - have tried everything (and I mean EVERYTHING, from Amitriptyline to Zoloft & all combinations!) Nothing works as well as Ultram, and nothing else comes close (for me) with as little side effects. Not sure why docs don't want to prescribe this sometimes? I've read posts about the "addictive" factor. Well, I took Vicodin daily for years and that isn't any better! I took Vicodin with various antidepressants (not much help there) Tramadol is safer than Vicodin - easier on your organs. QUALITY OF LIFE matters, and this medicine takes the edge off of pains, aches, depression AND anxiety (including social anxiety). I take 50mg twice a day & feel almost normal - happy, I laugh more, do more. Grateful for this med!"


"I have suffered from fungal nails on my feet x over 30 years, I have removed them but grow with fungi again, just accept that there was no cure, but I decided to see a podiatry one last last time and she prescribed me Jublia, wao , Wao, wao, this product is expensive, but I am clearing my nails, thanks to GOD, I am 53 years old"


"I'm 56 with high blood pressure began losing the hardness and looked for help. Taking the 5mg daily use and it worked like magic, first time used and it was as hard as a rock. Negative side effects of lower back and leg pain but only happened once, thereafter everything went well sometimes I have stuffy nose in morning. This gets you hard and stays hard works in about 45 mins after taking. Due to expense I take on Thur - Sun you can skip a couple of days and it still works...even wake up with the morning woody. Wow its good to be back. Also make sure and use the Free Cialis voucher for 30 days free pills, save some money."


"I'm 8 weeks preg and couldn't able to move my bowel with hot drinks, colace, fruits,high fiber...stuck with feeling to go but not coming out for a week then I tried MOM which I have no experiences bf so I only took 30cc with warm cup of milk. I took MOM at 11pm and right at 12.30 it started working. Wow it work like champ I did get little cramp, a minute then that's all.  It started with hard part and soft then diarrhea.. Took about 20 min done with job.  Thank you MOM..I made right choice"


"It does very well for pain; I have fibromyalgia and it works for me.  It allows me to be able to keep up my 4 active boys; ages 15, 10, 7 and 2.  The only reason I don't give it a 10 is that is works quick, but it completely kills my appetite.  I otherwise love this medicine."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I'm on the last day of a 14 day treatment. A little bad taste but didn't last long.
Doctor must have faith  with Prevpac because I asked if I need to be retested and he said no. A routine colonoscopy/ upper endoscopy showed the presence of H. Pylori. Still not sure how I was infected, had an endoscopy 5 years ago and didn't have it then. My wife said better me than
her she could never had taken all this medication and was amazed how well I tolerated Prevpac 14 day treatment."

"The only thing about this pill is, it gives me a headache."


"My 7yr old is currently on this med she takes a half of a 250 once daily. She currently has a rash all over her chest and forehead ,dark urine, and a dry cough. It seems to be working on the ringworm but I'm very concerned about the side effects."


"This implant destroyed the last 4 months of my life. After having it inserted 6 months ago, at month two I started developing horrible, debilitating anxiety, sadness...mood swings. I lost a relationship that was very important to me because the anxiety made life unbearable. Doctor's testing results today show my hormones are really imbalanced - progesterone is extremely low. Why isn't this being taken off the market?"


"I have been taking this pill for over a year. I only got on the pill because I get serious cramps. The pill gives me a lighter period on time every month and no cramps at all. BUT I have NO SEX DRIVE at all. I'm completely dry and my boyfriend is sick of it."


"Citalopram has been a life saver for me. I've gone on and off of it over the past 5-6 years, but I've currently been on it for a year straight and it's seriously helped me so much. I have awful, debilitating anxiety. Citalopram has really helped. I still have anxiety, but it is so much more manageable and I'm able to get through the anxiety attacks so much easier and faster than when I'm not on the medication. The only issue is that it has caused severe TMJ for me. It causes me to grind and clench my teeth really bad. I'd honestly rather have TMJ than crippling anxiety, though. I've been on 20 mg for the past year, but was on 40 mg 5 years ago."


"My 16 year old daughter has been in and out of the hospital for a year and 8 months with alot of ups and downs. She was given Seroquel xr and she is like a new person. She has gained weight from it and wanted to be taken off of it, but as the doctor started taking her off of it she did not like what was happening to her and said I would rather gain weight and be stable then skinny and angry and sad all the time."


"My fabulous pain management Dr. Just put me on 30mg twice a day I have been taking this dose for a week now, I'm also taking Norco-10/325 up to eight a day and Soma 350mg. I have been taking these medicines for several years now. I have relief from taking the Norco and Soma but it just didn't seem to last as long, would wake up in the middle of the night hurting real bad, but seems like since the Dr has put me on this MS-Contin 30mg twice daily has really helped with constant relief, God bless my Dr. No side effects so far."


"Someone replied to my first response that I need to wait 6 months.
Well its been way over 2 years now, and I am still tearing and having that stinging feeling.
I use 100% organic coconut oil for a lube, as my OBGYN said to try that too.
I have no side effects from the coconut oil.
I used both and then after "enduring" sex, I was left with a couple of tears that were bleeding and  stinging.
I am going to call her back and tell her I need extra strength. Even after the 1 mg amount, bathing the walls of my vagina, its still not enough.
I am only 55, and did not think, this was going to be the end of me.
My husband is 13 years older than me, and I am the one that has to turn him away because I  am not healed enough to try again"


"I've been on the Levora pill for 3.5 years now. My breasts never got any bigger, and I got a bit of acne that I ended up getting medication for. My periods have been really light, as others are saying. However, I'm an athlete and have just been diagnosed with Osteopenia (early onset of Osteoperosis) and I'm only 22. Basically, the Levora has inhibited my calcium intake for almost 4 years so my bones are becoming less dense. Getting off of the pill immediately."


"Great BC. Initially I gained about 5 pounds but that's probably the case with every BC and you can work to keep it off. Didn't change my mood or my sex drive, and periods have been much more bearable. Only thing is--if you mess up the pack (i.e., miss a pill, etc.) your period can last start early and last very long. Try to keep a consistent schedule with this pill. Oh, and I've never been pregnant either."


"I've been on Zoloft (Sertraline) in the past and now Lexapro. I find them equally effective and no real difference in side effects. Insomnia, dry mouth and yawning/jaw clenching for the first couple of weeks which is unpleasant but transient. My anxiety levels started to improve after a couple of weeks but didn't notice any major improvements in mood for 6-8 weeks and took 3 months to reach full effect. Definitely has helped me and I intend to stay on it long term. I have also tried valdoxan (agomelatine) in the past which did absolutely nothing for me and I went backwards while on it. SSRIs seem to work better for me."


"Have applied for three weeks once a day. Increased to twice this last week. MY face is quite red and sore and I am amazed at how many spots have come out. Will continue for a few more days. This site has encouraged me. I wasn't sure whether to keep going."


"I've been taking contrave for 2weeks now and I lost 12lbs my starting weight was 222 and now I'm 210 I havent experienced any headaches no nausea"


"I was under a lot of stress and anxiety from work and a difficult relationship. My doctor prescribed Brintellix for me. He gave me samples for 1 month. I have only been on Prozac briefly in the past for about 8 months many years ago. Only recently I have had symptoms of stress and anxiety. This medication seems to work for me. I had insomnia before I started taking it so it's not from the meds, but I feel so much better. Now I want to fill the prescription, but my insurance doesn't cover it and it costs $274.00. I simply cannot afford it, otherwise I would continue to use it. No side effects whatsoever, except for some bad dreams."


"This medication gave me relief but then the major effects came. In my 7th year severe headache every day, retina tore from blood vessels bursting, rash started on ankle spread all the way up my right leg. Finally I decided to find some other way to handle this terrible pain."


"I have been a functioning alcoholic for over 10 years and still don't know why I began abusing alcohol.  I started taking Campral a week ago and have had absolutely no cravings or desire to drink.

I  asked my MD what she recommended to help and Capral was her solution.  I can not believe how effective or fast it worked. I have had no side effects at all other than a loss of appetite."


"2.75g x 2 every night for five years. Deeper sleep with dreaming not infrequent. No side effects whatsoever. I've not gotten used to the salt added during manufacture."


"I take my 6th dose of 0.75 mg Trulicity tomorrow (10/21/16) and I feel great! The first few doses came with some nausea and a little cramping but I was expecting it. Now I don't have cramping or nausea but I notice that my appetite is almost non existent for the first day or two so I just remind myself to eat small healthy meals to keep me from feeling bad. I have lost a total of 18 lbs since starting trulicity 5 weeks ago and I went from my blood sugar averaging 200-300 to having blood sugar levels that range from 80-150. I have more energy and I don't feel like I am in a fog all of the time. It has really made a difference for me so far."


"I've been taking Adipex capsules for 1 week now and I am down 11 pounds. I don't exercise. The pill just makes me not want to eat. I have to make myself eat. I also have severe dry mouth, so I drink water way more now. The only other side effect I have is heart flutters. But I can handle that, because it happened to me before I was on Adipex."


"Do not stress out. I was in your position and I would re read reviews hoping for the best but thinking the worst, me and my boyfriend had sex and the condom broke, we took plan b about 15 minutes after, but it takes 10 minutes for the sperm to reach an egg. I was stressing out and thought I was pregnant but the faster you take it, the better. I am not pregnant :))) But do not stress out because that will delay your period. I searched up remedies on how to get periods if late and I drank a cup of warm milk before bed and the next morning my period started :) ( but you will get light bleeding at first which is normal.) I bled for 4 days and then went away and came back for about 8 days. Rather have my period then be pregnant at 16."


"It seemed to work for a couple of days. Afterwards I had the side effect of over-sleeping. I slept an extra 3 hours on the 3rd morning of this drug's use. Also, no output. I had to use enema to get some output. No s**t!! I wasted hundreds of dollars cash on this drug."


"I took this for two years whilst in East Africa. Although many people told me it was not good, I found no side effects and never have suffered from Malaria. I had regular Liver function teats and no adverse symptoms were found."


"Extreme nausea along with hot flashes and dizziness masked any improvement in my pain condition. It was so intense that I decided that I would rather deal with the pain than suffer another dose of the side effect."


"Always use this 1 to 2 hours after meal for maximum effectiveness."


"I was put on this for my anxiety disorder and my bulimia/anorexia. I was put on 5 mg and than bumped up to 15 mg over a months times. I started this drug three months ago and last month I had to be taken off. I had bruises all over my legs, I had no energy, I would fall asleep at 10pm and wake up at noon the next day and be taking a nap at 3pm. My anxiety improved some but those side effects were too much."


"My sister was tested and has the MTHFR mutation. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and bowel problems since childhood. I have only been on Deplin for five days but I have never been so energized and just generally happy in my life. Finally I have hope for the future. Before I was unsure how long I could last because I knew all of my symptoms were slowly worsening. Now I feel like a little kid again. All I want to do is dance around and do handstands. Everything and everyone makes me laugh and life has never been so good.  My ADHD, depression(obviously) and IBS have dissipated, I have increased sex drive and metabolism and even my liver is detoxing again. THANK YOU DEPLIN"


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


"I've been on this for barely a week for excessive hair growth on my neck and face. Only side affect present so far is the drowsiness. Barely within an hour and I'm ready to sleep. Only problem is it makes me sleep for a quantity of 5 to 12 hours. Definitely a night time medication."


"I've had 2 TURPS 11 years ago. Flow was fully obstructed for over a year.  Flow has been decreasing.  Have been taking this for one week and flow seems noticably improved.  No side effects."


"I have been on this pill twice now. The first time I was in it I used it for 6 months and my doctor decided to take me off of it for some time because I began having breakthrough bleeding and periods as long as if not longer than before I was on the pill and just as painful. After some time on anther pill my doctor reccomended that I go back on it and see how things went the second time around. I have been on it for 6 more months and nothing has changed since the last time. The first few periods were fine and like normal without the pill but again I began to bleed randomly and the pain became worse as well as my normal periods lengthening and becoming heavier."


"I have been using Pristiq a little over a month and I feel so much better. The first week I was very tired and extremely sleepy. My appetite has decreased and I've lost 10 pounds. I highly recommend Pristiq."


"Effective but bad side effects of nausea. "


"I had Nexplanon inserted Oct 26th 2016. I haven't had a period since December, which will always worry me. Plus side I haven't had any reasonable weight gain from insert. Downsides are the depression, mood swings, and my acne (I haven't had since high school) came back. I haven't lost sex drive. But I have pregnancy symptoms (per usual for most BC's). The biggest concern for me is getting no periods at all. Eventually if mood swing/depression worsens I will probably have insert removed with my GC."


"Works great. Some drowsiness."


"I have taken this pill for 11 years. I got on it after the birth of my first son on 2005. I have had no problems and I like that my cycles are light and last for only 4 days. I got off the pill in 2008 for a planned pregnancy. I got pregnant right away had my second son in 2009 and went right back on this pill and have had no problems at all. I am hoping to have another successful planned pregnancy so I am currently off the pill but I plan on going back on them. I am completely satisfied."


"I had the same problem with the start of this product as others mentioned before--it does break you out for the first few months (I think 2-3 months). However, after that short period of problems it got better & my face started to clear up. I have been taking birth control with this product to control my hormonal balance. The birth control does the job overall but whenever I get a few pop up pimples I put the Ziana on it for like 2 days & it pretty much kills the pimple. I can't use Ziana everyday because it DOES dry out your skin. So I WOULDN'T recommend this be in your daily skin routine...after your face gets use to the product I'd say use it for controlling spots."


"Terrible experience. My son is affected with ASD and ADHD. We gave him Concerta for one day by prescription. All symptoms have worsen dramatically, He became extremely nervous and did not sleep a half of night."


"I have had stuffy nose for over a month, been on 2 different antibiotics and various antihistamines and decongestants.  After second dose of Mucinex D, I can breath again.  Took first dosage four hours before bedtime, and a hit of Nyquil that night, and I slept great.  I'm sorry that I did not try this a month ago."


"Works better then most prescription drugs for allergies and chronic sinusitis ( I've had sinus surgery 4 times due to this), whose side effect are health threatening. I will only take at night due to the drowsiness, this drowsiness can turn into nervousness if I don't fall asleep and keeps me up all night. I do have drowsy days often with naps from sitting and just passing out.
I find that if continue taking every night about the fourth I begin to have vivid and horrible nightmares. I also get drenching night sweats - the two are not always together one night I may have one or the other.
I take one (1) tablet."


"Was a day late starting my next pack of birth control and did not double up, and then was 6 hours late for that Friday's, had a condom break the next day and immediately ran to get Plan B. No side effects. As unlikely it was that I could be pregnant, I stressed MAJORLY. missed a pill a week before my period was due and begin to have brownish breakthrough bleeding. Google of course told me brown blood a week before you period is implantation bleeding. The breakthrough bleeding did not stop until the day before I got my period, and then I got my actual period on the expected day. Please please please don't obsessively use google, it will only worsen things. Just pray and don't worry yourself sick like me. Best wishes!"


"Topamax saved my life.  I am 43 years old and have suffered from migraines since I was 18.  I found Topamax this past June.  Now it has been 7 months and life without migraines is wonderful.  No more fear of when the Big One will hit. The weight loss (20lbs) was nice too.  My worst side effect is the stumbling and grasping for words.  My kids die laughing.  So do I.  My husband doesn't understand that part but it's ok.  As long as the headaches don't come.  I still have small, treatable headaches (part of another problem that I hope soon goes away).  Topamax is my hero.  Take away my car, my clothes, my house...but don't take away my Topamax."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"First dose went down OK. Second dose couldn't get it all down or would have thrown up what I already drank. Glad I had baby wipes. Actually, don't wipe just dab. Hope I don't have to do this again for a long time.  Had some time to think sitting on the commode.....There are satellites in outer space that can see a candy bar wrapper on the sidewalk in front of your house, you would think someone could come up with a better way to do this. Maybe the medical community should talk to NASA!"


"Not  too much side effects,  dry skin."


"I've been on Lupron (after prostae surgery) for a period of 7-1/2 years. I am also on 50mg Casosex. The side effects are minor (hot sweats, decreased energy) Injection site(s) were moved after 6 yrs. from buttox to shoulder(s) due to lower back pain. I hope this gives hope to patients about to begin this regimen."


"I took the 150mg and within 24 hrs I felt way better . Didn't have to use the creams or anything."


"I've tried straterra, Dexedrine, Ritalin, vyvanse.  I would take vyvanse but it's way too $$.  Generic adderall has been the best as far as cost and effects.  The only thing I have disliked is the connotation adderall has because I can tell some doctors are against it. I have had two doctors lecture me on how something else must be wrong because I take 75 mg daily.  I tried to switch to the XR and lower my dose to 60mg, but insurance won't cover it.  This medication has been really helpful for me, but I feel like I need it because without it I'm a wild ape (hyper, make silly noises, annoying). It keeps me calm and focused on the big picture.  I would use modafilin if I could because the side effects are less pronounced, but again the price."


"Tested today with the urologist. I'm a 38 year old diabetic in great shape actually but have erectile dysfunction and nothing seems to work. They prescribed a 20mcg of Edex. We tried it at 10mcg. Seems to work really well."


"I've taken so many different meds and this one is the only one that's ever worked for preventing panic attacks from anxiety. Which happen often because I have social anxiety and phobias. I never developed a dependency even after stopping it for a few years when I quit taking my mood stabilizer as well."


"I had unprotected sex with my fiance on Nov 3, he finished completely inside me. I took Plan B with in 2 hours of this event. It happened again Nov 5, I took another Plan B. We want kids but I keep getting scared, don't judge. Side Effects: I had light to mild cramps from Nov 7th thru Nov 13th all day/night.Today, Nov 13th, my cramps became severe and I started my period, a day prior to my period due date. For this entire week I was PMSing, and had pregnancy like symptoms (backache, cramps, sensitive to some meat smells, extreme fatigue, bloating, I had some morning sweet cravings. I am also athletic, 145lbs, very active, all I can say is that PLAN B works! I booked my appt, to get birth control. Not ready for kids yet! good luck ladies"


"I have been on so many hydrocodone & oxicodone strengths & combinations that have given me, on a scale of 0 - 10, a 3 at best. I have degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, and hip/SI joint pain from ankylosing spondylitis. I don't take it every day, but as I need to. That should say something right there! I take the 50mg, up to 2x/day. It didn't make me sick to my stomach either. I will add one caveat - I have not gotten any migraine relief, which is what it was originally prescribed for."


"Well, to tell you the truth it works, great.  I took it for several years until one day I went to have it filled and the pharmacist told me it had been removed from sales.  Why, you ask?  They said that it was found to make you more susceptible to some cancers.  Imagine my surprise;  I had just survived a cancer while taking this medication.  Not sure if it is back on the market, but please do the homework."


"Taking two 500mg twice a day for a kidney infection, 28 year old female. I normally get extremely nauseated and dizzy on antibiotics. I do not on these, no side effects as of yet (day 3) I feel an improvement in my kidneys, but not as much as I had hoped at this point. I'm just happy I am not nauseated on these! I am eating Greek yogurt daily to avoid a nasty yeast infection from taking antibiotics. I do have to warn you, every time I open the pill bottle I get a strong bad smell. It's worth it to get some kind of relief from my angry kidneys! "


"I've been on this pill since November, it is now mid-June. I have not had any spotting, any bleeding, nothing at all! This pill is definitely supposed to regulate... not eliminate! I can admit that I'm enjoying not having a period at all, but I just made a doctor's appointment just to check that everything is fine, and that when the time comes for us to want kids, everything will be normal."


"I had the implant for 3 weeks. The first 2 weeks were fine. Week 3 I'm now experiencing constant headaches, nausea, feeling light-headed and faint. I still haven't stopped bleeding! And because of this I'm now anemic. I wish I was compatible with this implant but can honestly say I will be demanding to have it removed. I've never felt so ill all the time."


"absolute worst birth control I've been on. My last brand was discontinued and was given orynthia. I've had my period for 3 out of the 4 weeks I have been on it."


"I have been quit for one year and 4 months after smoking for 35 years. I took Chantix for 6 months. I didn't even set a quit date. I just started taking Chantix and let my quit date happen naturally. After cutting down drastically for 3 or so weeks, I just lost all desire for cigarettes so just stopped smoking them. It was Chantix and a list I created of things to do instead of smoke that was the key for me. I had tried many other times to quit so had a good idea of what worked for me and what didn't. I think that quitting a habit is a very personal experience and what works for some may not work for others. As to side effects, I had weird dreams and nausea, but eating with the pill helped. I truly believe Chantix saved my life."


"For generalized anxiety, this medication is probably the best or second best out there for it. It helps tremendously with general anxiety. When it comes to panic disorder, I would say it has its pros and cons but overall is good. If you only take Clonazepam for panic attacks, and that's the only time you take it, it should be great. (And was for me!) If you take it daily to prevent panic attacks, I think it also works great. But if you take it daily to prevent but end up still getting one, it doesn't help too much. But it's one of the better benzos to take as a regimen (though there is no* such thing as a good regimen) but it has its peak effect at around 2-3 hours and can last long, making it a great reliever for many! It's helped me!"


"I'm 24 and have never had kids so had the mirena inserted under sedation. Mild cramping and spotting after the procedure but nothing a little naproxen couldn't fix. Previously on the pill but had terrible hormonal symptoms, depression, no sex drive and severe migraines. 2 weeks in to having the mirena and feeling 90% better. No migraines since having it put in ( previously having them almost daily)! Still have a little spotting but I use a menstural cup normally so it doesn't really bother me. Hopefully things will just improve from here! Very happy so far :) would really encourage people not to be put off if you haven't had kids, there are ways of doing it without the pain!"


"I had major ankle surgery. This was one of the medication I was given.  You have to keep it refrigerated, but one opened it can be a room temp. I want you to know my throat hurt so bad after surgery too.  I had a nerve block done also so I waited till the next day to use this medication.  I read about the burning, but didn't realize it was like someone placing burning coals in you nose.  I was like omg omg for about 5 mins. Then all of the sudden no pain, not even my throat was hurting anymore.  After about 6 hrs. I did it again, it did hurt, but not as bad a the first time.  The only thing was when it was wearing off I got a bad headache. Other than that no problems.  For someone in moderate to severe pain I would recommend."


"I have been miserable.  Took a one dose of Diflucan last night and I can say swelling is less but everything else that is awful is still there.  But, wine lady, please don't tell me I can't drink wine.  I'm almost finished with my glass when I read your review....  Should I take another one-time-dose?  I'm way too old for this!!"


"Truly life changing!!  I have suffered really badly all my life, tried dozens of different treatments and nothing helped. Was given this 5 days ago and my symptoms have practically disappeared.  I am still struggling with itchy eyes but will continue with my eye drops and antihistamine tablets for these.
I have been able to take my dog for a walk, open the windows, hang out my washing and sit in my garden with hardly any sneezing or nose blowing.  I feel I'm a human being again. Can't recommend it highly enough."


"I used to be a singer but had to quit because of worsening panic attacks (including twitching face muscles - the shame). I hated myself for quitting but saw no other choice. I was working as an EFL teacher and eventually had to quit that too because facing a class suddenly became overwhelming. Staff meetings were impossible, presentations at training sessions were out of the question, until even talking to my small class made me want to run far far away. So I became a freelance copywriter so I could stay at home and not face anyone. I was alone for about 6 years. About 6 months ago somebody told me about propanolol. My new job starts Monday. Thank you, thank you thank you, modern medicine, from me and my family, for giving me my life back"


"I chose to get Mirena when my daughter was almost one.  At the time I thought that it was the best contraception method ever.  No pills to remember, rings to change or give me migraines, or patches to remove.  I have tried them all, and with Mirena, I felt like it just simplified my life.  I thought that I had no side effects but now I am not so sure. I did gain about 15 lbs and had some moodiness but I was a student mother and attributed everything to stress.  Lately, I have had anxiety, which I never used to have and begun having panic attacks.  My libido is terrible, to the point that I feel bad for my husband.  I do have quite a bit of stress in my life but I can't help but think of the Mirena."


"3 yrs, 150 x 150mg.

Too many side effects including total oral decay due to no saliva production."


"I have battled anxiety for years. I have a supportive family, a loving husband and child, and could not understand why I wanted to sleep or cry the days away, the months away, the years away..... My breaking point was my family was struggling to comprehend why I did not want to do anything we loved anymore or be active in our daily life. It hit me hard I could not walk into a room of people without going into a panic. Prozac is the 3rd medicine I tried. I feel like a million dollars now. I am me again. I was on 10mg for 1 month and now 20mg a day. I'm crying as I write this because anxiety is real. It effected everything in my life. But not anymore. My fear and panic are gone. I can run circles around my loved ones! It's great."


"I just had a two level lumbar fusion two weeks ago and have severe muscle spasms that started up a couple of days ago. When I needed the Robaxin to work, it's like taking a placebo. I've called the surgeons office for another option as this is not going to work for me."


"My Dr gave me a sample of this medicine to try and it works good, however it takes me a while to fall asleep and it gave me a hangover effect the next day! Liked the sleep it gave me but I had a hard time waking up the next day."


"I have used this product for a couple of years.  My regimen is to use it for 4-6 weeks, then give my skin a break.  I repeat the process about every 3 months.  It took me a long time to damage my skin in the sun, I don't expect it to clear up over night."


"For the 3 years I was on it I had ravenous hunger, low blood sugar crashes, low libido, stress, and anxiety. I had just quit smoking and wasn't used to eating instead of having a cigarette. I started on Ortho Lo. I thought I was just stressed with finishing school but the moodiness didn't stop so after a few months they put me on Reclipsen. The nurse told me it was her favorite one and I wouldn't feel a thing bc it was a monophase and wouldn't make my hormones jump around
...like they are Supposed to naturally a few times per month. Looking back I just wish I had realized it wasn't "Me handling life so weak and vulnerable." It was the pill. Hormones cause feelings. BC pills have FAKE hormones!"


"Finally I see hope.

After being diagnosed with severe depression (took me 4 years to seek treatment), I tried 5 different medications (plus therapy). They all failed miserably and I lost the hope I didn't even know I had, then tried suicide twice. Finally I was prescribed Pristiq and let me just say... what a difference!
It got easier to wake up and get through the day, my self-esteem got better, my anxiety doesn't come as often, and I can even make plans for the future. For the first time I see change is possible.
Just don't ever forget to take your pills, you can't really function without them. I got no side effects except for increased hunger/libido, and a bit of difficulty falling asleep.
I'm taking 150mg now."


"I started taking this pill when I was 21 years old. Because of recent times, I switched to the Mirena IUD, and it didn't work for me for various reasons. I switched back to this pill January 2017 and love it. I like this pill because while you absolutely SHOULD take it at the same time everyday, as long as you take it within a few hours of the same time each day--you should be fine. I've never had a pregnancy scare on this pill, so that's a major benefit. No crazy mood swings or bad side effects. This time around I will say this: my period is way lighter. Used to last 7 days, now only lasts 5. One and only bummer was the first month or two my appetite was weird - this symptom went away after 2 months though! Highly recommend this BC."


"I love excedrin(migraine) I been suffering from migraines all my life and been prescribed many medications which have failed me!! Of course someone who suffers from migraines understand the unbearable pain of having a migraine it's almost impossible to complete simple task  but not when taking excedrin it WORKS right away. My advice is to take it when you get the warning signs (black dots, Hard to focus, feeling like you have to throw up) this medicine does keep you awake which is the last thing someone with a migraine wants to be but the pain won't last long."


"I was excited to try this pill because it would cut down my period to only 4 times a year. However, the spotting became a huge issue. I began spotting during the first pack, around the time I would typically get my period. I knew this was a side effect, but it lasted 2 weeks and became a nuisance. I soldiered through the pack and it eventually stopped and I got a very light period 2 months later as scheduled. The next pack was worse. Again, I started spotting after the first month. It continued for 2.5 weeks and turned into the heaviest period I've ever had, and I had to go to my doctor and be put on another pill to stop the bleeding, and then switched pills. This may work for some, but it unfortunately didn't for me."


"I've been on Paxil since I was 5, I'm almost 20 now. I've had really bad anxiety my entire life. I started at 5mg daily, as I got older, my dosage slowly increased to 20mg, which is my current dose. I had a few bad life experiences when I was younger that caused my anxiety to increase tenfold, so my DR tried to swap the Paxil for something else. Bad idea, none of the other SSRIs worked; I had a severe increase in anxiety and side effects, so he put me back on the Paxil. Paxil has been the only pill to help my anxiety and I haven't had any side effects from it."


"Started having panic attacks on a regular basis soon after bypass surgery at 58 yrs. I thought the antidepressant I had been taking for some 30 yrs. wasn't working anymore. After suffering with this for several years, I had a real good one, which sent me to the ER. They gave me a Xanax. Unbelievable, it was like a wave of calm went through me. Haven't been without the drug since. I take it when I feel an attack coming on, and it just dosen't happen. It helps you live a normal life."


"31 years old, have been on Depo-Provera for about 3 years now due to terrible, awful debilitating periods - the kind that made it hard for me to go to work. I did get spotting the first few months but after that it was FREEDOM. No periods whatsoever. I didn't have any weight gain - still around 100lbs and no other problems. I'm going to get NovaSure soon because I don't want to have to bother going to the pharmacy every three months and I'm worried about the whole bone density thing - although my doctor said she was on Depo for 8 years without any problems. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a long-term but temporary way to get rid of periods. Don't suffer."


"I smoked 1-1/2 packs of Cigarettes daily for 25+ years. I tried the patches, cold turkey, couldn't quit for long. I started using Nicorette gum 3-years ago and have been smoke free. I am still chewing the gum. 4-mg's multiple times daily. I told my Dr. I was still chewing the gum and was worried about the health effects. She told me studies have been done finding that nicotine in and of itself does not seem to cause significant harm. (I know, that seems strange to me too) Despite these findings she told me not to worry about the gum because smoking cigarettes with all the extra poisons in it is far worse for ones health. Especially in my case because I know I'd go back to smoking without the gum"


"I had Botox for an OAB. Before I had a terrible urge to go but I could not fully empty BUT I COULD GO ! The date is Oct in April it would have been three years since I had this done. At the beginning I was reluctant but my urologist recommended this. I was told I was going to have to be totally reliant of self catheterisation  which I was ok. She did however say there are instances where the Botox would get rid of the urge but you would still be able to pee. A week after having Botox I have been 100% reliant on catheters. Without them I have urinary retention I cannot go at all.  I feel totally let down by the medical profession and the company that makes this drug as they have washed their hands of me and the only suggestion is to have MORE Botox !"


"This medicine saved my life."


"I have suffered with excruciating pain in my toes for 3 years almost, suicidal pain was so bad, codeine had no effect, a new Doctor put me on 10mg of Amitriptyline, wow, what a result no pain and I am sleeping and feeling much better"


"I experienced an extreme menopause at 50:  hot flashes, crying, brain fog, night sweats for 4 years.  My female GYN would not prescribe HRT.  My family committed me to a mental institution.  I refused to take psych drugs.  Afterward I followed up with a neuro-psychologist who agreed to have my primary care Dr. prescribe Vivelle.dot.  Increasing it to 1.0 relieved me of all those horrible symptoms!  I have used it for 5 years along with generic (TEV) premarin.  A book which saved my life (besides THE BIBLE) is "OUTLIVING YOUR OVARIES" by Dr. Marina Johnson.  She rescues women in menopause and men in andropause through hormone replacement therapy!  I gave copies to several doctors and stressed to them the NEED for classes on menopause!"


"I love ziana. Since I was 15 years old I experienced "zits on nose" their basically huge pimples that grow so big under your skin and stays their for about two weeks, this was the worst experience. Throughout the years I've tried so many medications but nothing worked. Now I'm 18, after 3-4 years of having zits on my nose continuously ziana is working with me and now my nose is how I wanted it to be, thank you ziana & thanks to my dermatologist."


"Took one 10mg per docs instruction, penis felt funny, felt unusual inside. We were expecting a lot. Very dependent on mood, my penis felt so odd, that was it. Same thing next morning erect but then gone in 2 seconds. I am kind of odd, read one other person had same experience.  Very bummed about this, anyway she was cool about it. We normally have good sex but I can not go for more than a few minutes.  With this Cialis I couldn't stay up at all."


"Taken the Vivitrol Shot for 6 months. It's amazing! I would be dead without it. I was addicted to Heroin for years and nearly died several times. Why is this drug not encouraged for others. It's rarely used? It saved my life."


"When it worked it was great.  Couldn't keep my levels the same, though.  When levels went too high, I got tired and shaky and could not sleep.  When it went too low, I rapid cycled between mania and depression.  May work for you, but not for me."
