"the most frustrating experience of my life trying to buy this medicine
one month supply of pills $4.00   one month of suspension $526.99
Amazing right!   The Dr. recommended the suspension but simply cannot
afford it.    I have been told so many things it is a nightmare.
I have gerd but unable to afford suspension and no one offers any help.  I had to take pills financially and will continue taking with hope they will work. I make a suspension 4 times a day and drink it"


"I started taking birth control pills a few years ago but after trying 5 or 6 different ones, I started taking OTC.  This is the ONLY pill I have tried that does not make me bleed through half the pack, clears up my acne to an extent, does not affect my mood, and makes my cramps basically nonexistent.  It is a miracle pill for me.  I think because it has varying amount of hormones each week that mimic your own cycle, it works better for many women.  I have not experienced any difference in my weight, I've started working out since I began taking this pill and have lost a little weight.  The thing I am happiest about though is that I do not have breakthrough bleeding."


"I am currently almost 65 years of age. For several years I suffered off and on with symptoms of BPH (frequent urination, difficulty urinating, weak stream, etc) day and night. Sometimes I would wake up 8-10 times a night for bathroom visits.  Not being a person who goes to doctors regularly I tried about every OTC and home remedy I could find.  Two months ago I finally visited a doctor and described my condition. He prescribed Flomax and I started noticing improvement within a few weeks of taking it.  After about five weeks I was sleeping 6-7 hours between bathroom visits.  I have noticed no side effects other than slight occasional headaches which may or may not be related to the use of Flomax. Thank you Flomax!"


"I have probably been off of Accutane for a good six months or so now and I have to say it is a life changer and definitely worth your time and money! As a girl it was tough and frustrating having to get pregnancy test, blood work, and all of the appointments every month along with the online portion but it is SO worth it! I went to my doctor for a year struggling with acne before he put me on this medicine. I was upset he didn't do it sooner!  Yes there may be some side effects, the only side effects I encountered were dry lips, dry face, and very sensitive skin. I have a fair skin tone as it is, so during the summer I could barely walk outside without needing to use sun screen. But I recommend this product to anyone in need of it!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This prep caused me to projectile vomit within 30 minutes of drinking it.  Will request another brand next time."


"I have was on the shot for 5 years. I got off In July of 2015. I have started bleeding uncontrollably for 3 days now. My camps are excruciating. Stopping the shot sucks. But being on the shot for 5 years were a great. I had no periods and it was easy."


"I have been dealing with migraines and hormonal headaches for over 20 years. I've tried all the prescription medications which did nothing to alleviate the pain and nausea which usually lasted for 4-5 days for me. Excedrin Migraine has significantly improved my quality of life. I was devastated when it went off the market for almost a year.  I find the new ones an improvement.  I am so thrilled however I'm concerned that I may be taking too many which may cause liver damage. I take on average about 2-4 daily."


"I have had neuropathic spine pain  since 1984. I have triple S curve; had 6 spine surgeries, and have implanted pain relief system for low back pain. Nothing worked, opioids almost led to death.  2 months ago begam Lyrica (100mg, 3x/day). At beginning: brain felt "foggy"; walking unstable; total urinary incontinence (some bowel incontinence). To say I was shocked at how the Lyrica relieved my spine pain is an undersatement! I read all the horror stories, but decided to give it time. This is the first time since the early eighties I have had NO pain! The side effects are gone."


"I start my third pack of Sprintec tomorrow, and I've been thrilled with the results! I primarily take it to manage my acne since I  get terrible cysts on my jaw and cheek all the time. After about a month and a half, I have only 2 tiny spots on my right cheek and no new breakouts (except those  spots which got a little bigger during the off week then went back down). I also use a prescription lotion from Curology.

Beware- The first month, my period went from 5 days to 7 with breakthrough bleeding for another week, followed by a 2 week period. Cramps weren't bad but bleeding was heavier. Skin maintained. I have been a bit moodier and gained some weight, but that's prob bc of stress. My breasts grew too so can't complain about that lol"

"I've been taking Sprintec for exactly two weeks. I have had absolutely no symptoms. There has been no break through bleeding, nausea, headaches. I've been breaking out a little more than normal since I started Sprintec but that could also be due to stress. I take it around 7:00 pm or so, right around when I eat, this may be why I have been able to avoid any nausea, so I recommend taking it with something to eat. When it comes to effectiveness, I can't comment yet until I finish the pack, but I'm sure taking it regularly will make it effective."


"Was constipated most of the 2 weeks I was on it.  One night all of the sudden I had horrible cramping under my rib cage and a pain that went all the way up my spine.  The pain was so horrendous I was crawling on the floor, crying in pain, screaming in a pillow as to not wake my children.  I would scream at times and nothing would come out. I had tears and mucous coming down my face.  I literally thought I was in hell.  I have NEVER experienced pain like this in my life.  I have birthed 2 children and lived with Ulcerative Colitis/IBD for 15 years. I know what pain is.  I wound up going to the ER and reporting this to my GI doctor.  So much for this "miracle pill".  I was so hoping this was going to work."


"I was changed to this because my previous birth control was discontinued. From the very second day I was on this, I've had horrible cystic acne all over my body which I've never had issue with before and I'm in my mid-30s. This has also made my cycle extremely unpredictable with extra long periods (usually 4 days, now 10-12 every time). I do not recommend."


"My experience with Portia is great. I've been taking it for about a year now, and at first I was using it for poly-cystic ovarian syndrome control, but now I'm using it as my only form of birth control. I've never been pregnant on it, and my periods always come on time and my bleeding is rather light. At first it made my skin a lot clearer, but now it's back to normal, which is the only bad thing I can say about it."


"Movantic does nothing more than put you in complete withdrawal. Eat a high fiber diet and you want be put thru HELL !!! The pain docs will not tell you this when they prescribe it . And thats what the pharmaceutical co. don't want you to know !!!!!!!!!!. No more of my money....bahaha"


"Initially used the Watson 700 mg patches and experienced great pain relief. Since my Rx was renewed, my pharmacy filled the prescription to Milan 140 mg. These are the WORST. They are absolutely useless and a complete waste of money. In addition to having an insufficient amount of medication, they are extremely uncomfortable and do not stay on your skin. There is no reason to ever use these things except to line the bottom of a bird cage."


"My doctor gave me a grocery bag full of samples because she said it was expensive. I never took them. I am bipolar with also anxiety. Depression will get very low spontaneously but is much more controlled with my seroquel and fluoxetine and xanax if needed. I had an appointment  recently and she reminded me that I need to take the Deplin as it augments my antidepressant! I didn't realize this so I made sure to take it. Now I don't remember the last time I felt this good and functional. She gave me another grocery bag of samples. Deplin absolutely is great for me."


"I am 39, got a prescription for this duac once a day cream and am 4 days into it. It is the 1%/5% one but maybe the 1%/3% one would be kinder. In the area I get hit by acne more - my chin area - it is producing more, albeit smaller and painless, pustules even if it has wiped away one really big ugly pustule spot in that area. Though grateful I am now left with very dry itchy flaky skin where that spot was. No matter how much I moisturise.  I am telling myself that it is only because my chin area needs more work and the cream brings these to the surface to then kill them eventually?? Other  parts of my face I apply it to are not left this way. Ease of use is fine. Oh yes fridge storage is for pharmacists not users. It says so in the leaflet."


"Norco works great for severe knee pain and migraines."


"I have taken contrave for 6 weeks. Slight nausea. Slight constipation. I added yogurt and I'm fine. Problem is, I had a black out last week. I lost 5-7 hours of my day. I have lost 13 pounds. Now o need to be off contrave. And it lasts two weeks in my system. So family is freaking and watching me like I'm a crazy person. Oh well. I hope I recover."


"I have taken the Synvisc-One shot in both of my knees. It really does work and I am pain free for actually six months. The reason I will not take it now is because the last time I was given these shots it hurt just too bad. Now I am trying to find something else without all the more pain when taken."


"I was on this birth control for at least 6 months and my acne has gotten worse. It's now evolved to big cystic pimples before and after my period and they stick around for at least two weeks at a time. Majority on my chin but I have had a couple on my forehead inbetween my eyebrows which I still have the scar. It's gotten to the point where I still have pimples from the previous break out and new ones formed right next to them. Also this medication has made my cramps worse. I have switched from the brand."


"I took Aviane for 3 months after switching from Sprintec. Sprintec made me feel foggy, moody and decreased my sex drive. While Aviane significantly decreased my hormonal acne, I experienced slight moodiness and a complete lack of sex drive. If I didn't care about that, this would be a great pill. But my sex drive is more important to me than my acne, so I've gone off the pill completely and will look for a non-hormonal way to clear my face up."


"When on holiday in hot sunny climates I always suffer from severe heat rash. After using Synalar cream it clears after a day or so it is brilliant."


"Unfortunately this medication disrupted my entire day at work the next day, and I felt very depressed and exhausted. This is supposedly a safe medication but my experience was not positive"


"I have spinal stenosis and compressed discs.  They said I could not have surgery because of other health issues so medication was the only alternative.  Taking Opana ER, I am able to do things I need to do.  I can do so much more than I was able to do before. Before taking Opana I was in a wheelchair and cane. All I could do was lay on the bed or couch. I am now taking 20 mg every 12 hours. This is the only drug that has ever helped me."


"Recently I was prescribed klonopin 1mg, not only for anxiety but to help alleviate my muscle cramps, which I think is caused by the Seroquel I take for mood stabilization and sleep. Klonopin works great. No more tremors, cramps or anxiety. It is very effective. It works better than any related drug."


"Diarrhea is a major problem. Otherwise I think I feel better."


"I was put on this medication February 2014. I had it taken out September 2014.
Why? The supposed "spotting" was more like a daily water fall.
Heavy heavy non stop bleeding. For 6 months.  I had 5 and only 5 days of no blood. There's was no random spotting as I was promised. Now besides the daily water falls of blood in my panties, my hair started falling out! Yea 23 years old and my hair should NOT be on my pillows or in the sink shower floor and every were I go. Now
My biggest concern. I can't get pregnant! Has any one else been 100% infertile or unable to become pregnant? I'm so scared!"


"After the birth of our son, my husband and I decided that the shot would be our best option. Didn't have to take a pill every day and no periods.
So on July 18 2014 I had my first shot. I began soaking through 12 to 28 tampons daily. I was hospitalized for that, and once again for a fainting episode due to anemia.
I never went back for my second shot. It is now just over a year later. I am still bleeding. My husband and I haven't had sex for a year because of the intensity of the pain and bleeding.
I have tried everything from soy isoflavones, to ibuprofen and iron, to estrogen therapy, to other forms of birth control.
They say I have to let it wear off, but it's so bad that I have trouble caring for my child because of fatigue."


"I've had this the Skyla in for about 4 months now. The day I got it was bad, but any foreign object is going to hurt. One day I can go without cramps the entire day, and another I can have severe cramps that completely unable me to do anything. My doctor said to take Ibuprofen twice a day, but it hasn't helped. At first I was lightly spotting, but after a month my bleeding completely stopped."


"I was on it for six months, had migraines and vomiting every period, unexplainable tingliness in hands and lower extremeties... and then May 23, 2017 I go to ER for pain in chest and difficulty breathing, they diagnosed me with pulmonary embolisms, heart damage and a lung infarction. I now have chronic venous insufficiency, which is constant pain showering down my calves and feet. Taking this pill to avoid pregnancy has nearly killed me and if I do choose to become pregnant I am at a high risk of reclotting and or dying. Worst choice of my life. I am 23, glad to be alive. My life is forever changed. I am on an anticoagulant for life since I did not test positive for any known blood or autoimmune disorder. Be weary of using hormonal therapy!"


"Wow, I'm still in shock as to how much this medication has changed my life in the past two weeks. I started on 5 mg for 6 days and then switched to 10 mg and I've felt happier than I have ever before in my life. I wasn't aware of the extent of how bad my social anxiety and depression were until they were gone. I have a new sense of self-worth and drive for my life that I have never felt before. I am so thankful that I have found something that has made my anxiety completely gone. The only side effect I've experienced is a little loss of appetite (used to be an emotional eater) and also have trouble staying asleep throughout the night (I think this is due to the interruption of REM sleep on an SSRI, but I could be wrong)."


"Third day on it and I feel like I have the flu but without respiratory symptoms. Tired, muscle aches, headache, dizziness, nauseated. Still better than having to pee, painfully, every ten minutes."


"So worth it. No product has helped except abreva. I put it on as soon as I realize I'm getting a cold sore and within 2-4 days its gone. Tip don't let your thing burst or this product can't help you. Only works if used before you pop the blister and the blister won't pop."


"I went on this to help get a jump start on my weight loss. I have lost 34.2 pounds in 3 months and am so happy with the results. I can really tell that I have lost the weight. I have so much energy than before. I would recommend this to anyone that is seriously overweight. It's literally saving my life."


"As far as birth control and periods went,  this was fine.  My periods were much less crampy and painful,  my skin didn't change at all. However,  it was like my personality completely flipped. I felt robbed of my sense of adventure,  I had absolutely no interest in going and doing fun things with my family. I've never had depression, but I think this must be what it feels like. I stopped taking it and am almost back to my old self,  even though I'm back to having terrible periods.  I will take cramps over how I was acting any day of the week."


"I have been using Requip for approximately 10 years now for severe restless leg syndrome which affects my entire body, not just my legs.  I take 4 to 5 1mg tablets a day and don't know what I would do without Requip."


"Excellent.  Had hip pain so bad that I could only stand for 10-15 minutes at a time.  One dose along with methylprednisolone and the pain went away."


"I have recently gotten paragard on 9/27/16 and so far I've had light spotting and cramping did hurt when getting it inserted considering it was the second one directly behind the first one due to the first one not being placed high enough I've also never had kids I had the skyla iud for about 7 months and did not do well with it due to cramping and terrible acne hoping better luck with this due to no hormones can't speak on effectiveness yet since I've only had it 7 days also haven't had my first cycle with it yet or anything in terms of that will update again a little later"


"I was given this for pain and insomnia.  Didn't take it at first because I have a fear of drugs but after being on this for a week I wish I had taken it sooner.  I am sleeping better and my pain is less.  I have fibromyalgia along with Panic/Anxiety.  This is a drug that helps it all with very few side effects for me (just dry mouth)."


"I have never in my life had acne, including during puberty. I've been on this pill for 3 months and I have the most intense acne all over my chin. I have a very thorough skin care routine but nothing works. Aside from the acne, every time I start a new pack I get an intense headache & physically feel sick like I'm coming down with the flu. This pill has been nothing but issues for me and I just made an appointment to change pills entirely."


"Hi,
I just started my Retin A experience. I know it will end well because the reviews are really good. Well, I can't say it is a miracle product because I am in the "purge" at the moment. You say it will return to smooth acne free skin in a few months? Can't wait! I have been using Acne.org's routie for about a year and it really did work. However, it is time for a permanent solution. My mom said she started Retin A when she was a few years older than me. I am 18. I am on 0.025 Treitonin cream. I apply at night and a little extra dab on new pimples. My mom gave me some pointers: BE SURE to wait 20 mins after you wash your face before you apply. Always wear sunscreen during the day. I like the Babo Zinc block. Apply on neck too."


"I am 19 and was prescribed a small (10mg) dosage to start me off. I took it in the morning before my classes started. After an hour I began feeling nervous, headaches, upset stomach, dizziness, and I had uncontrollable shaking in my hands and feet. The doctors are starting me on something different, but will try Zoloft again at a later time. If it is your first time using Zoloft I highly recommend using it after work/school. I would really like to give Zoloft another try since I have seen great reviews."


"I have had acne through my whole face with black spots, my doctor recommended Doxy. I used it for 2 months and my skin is clearing. I no longer have pimples, the spots are now lighter and clearing as well. thanks to Doxy"


"If I haven't hardly gone to the bathroom in a few days, and I feel bloated and blocked up, like there's a plug in my gut, Magnesium Citrate works. Every time. Sometimes it takes longer than others, but I don't mess with anything else.

Drink the whole bottle.

Follow with water or gatorade.

Wait 3-12 hours.

Sometimes the constipation and bloating makes it really hard to focus, so I'll drink it before bed, and wake up to go the the bathroom. Set aside a few hours you can be near a home toilet, as there's a decent chance you'll need to clean up afterward!"


"Dry Mouth
Severe Gum Soreness and pain"


"When I first started taking Topamax it was prescribed to me for the prevention of migraine headaches. A couple of years later I now take 200mg in the morning and 200mg at bedtime and since February I have lost 51 lbs... 282 down to 232 and still loosing more!!!!"


"I have been using for less than a month.  The only side effects I have experienced are headaches and adverse reactions to alcohol.  My depression is better and I have more energy.  I am a lot more irritable though. Not part of my personality.  The reaction to alcohol sucks because I am a social drinker. Wine= metallic taste in my mouth. Beer= headaches within an hour. Liquor= nausea and feeling the urge to vomit. I hope this goes away along with the headaches. I am scheduled for a follow up with the doctor to discuss my progress. Maybe there is a recommendation for headache. Forgot to mention my appetite is more balanced and my libido is back to normal.  Both a positive!"


"I took this medicine about 2 years ago for anxiety and depression for about 3 months.  I could feel the effects of it in just 2 or 3 days and it made me feel like a complete zombie.  I had no personality and I kept catching myself sitting there and in a daze.  It also caused me to be very drowsy all the time."


"I've been using Yaz since July. First box, I have tonnes of side effects. I had a nausea, I was feeling very weak, I was fatigue and super sleepy all the time. After two weeks, nausea was gone. I has irregular bleeding which was gone on the third box. i gained 2kg, but I am not sure it's really related to Yaz. However, since from the first day, I am definitelly in a depression. I tend to cry without a reason a lot. I am super anxious about very little things. I definitely overreact emotionally. I am feeling hopeless and so on. After I am sure this depression which came with Yaz is not going, my doctor gave me other one which I will start soon."


"I've had it for a year and a half. My periods are much better. But recently I've been bleeding for two weeks straight, very strange, but I do work with all girls... Why I rated it a 3 is because I gained 60 pounds. That is so depressing for a woman. I've tried every healthy diet, diet pills, working out. Eating all organic non processed foods. EVERYTHING. I am now depressed about my weight. I'm on Wellbutrin an antidepressant which helps a lot with my all day uncontrollable hunger. It feels like I'm high all day long...the hunger never ends. I am an athlete and I live a healthy lifestyle. I can't even drink because of the antidepressants. So I'm actually at my gyno right now about to get this thing out of me! I recommend the pill over this."


"46 hrs after unprotected sex that occurred on day 14 of a 28-30 day cycle. It was within the ovulation window and the "pull out" method was used. Had what looked like implantation spotting day 10 and a period 15days post, it lasted about a wk, heavy w clotting. It is now 6 wks after.. I did not end up pregnant! I did on the other hand have pretty intense side effects. First 24hrs; very fatigued, depressed mood, very painful lower abdominal area, and vaginal discharge from clear to creamy, yellow and burned. 2 wks after still had lower and pain and burning.  Got tested, no infections. I had 3 ovarian cysts, and vaginal burning for 6 wks w no explanation other than it being from taking plan b. Emotional well being is altered as hormone levels adjust back."


"TriNessa was a miracle worker! It helped my periods, my breakouts, and caused me NO weight gain!! I would definitely recommend to anybody."


"Works perfectly for me keeps me calm."


"Works very well as long as you take before onset in evenings. Only undesired side effects are it takes 1 to 2 hours before kicking in and 1 pill only works for 4 hours for me..I can only tolerate 1 pill at a time (2 mg) as I definitely regurgitate 2 at once. Even with 1 pill I get nauseated for 10 min. But not sick."


"I have been prescribed 5/500 hydrocodone/acetaminophen by my pain management doctor for bulging discs in neck and lumbar. I've tried Darvocet in the past which did very little for my pain. Oxycodone, even in small doses, made me very dizzy for some reason. Hydro/acetaminophen combination works well for disc problems and severe headaches brought on by cervical abnormalities. Taken with food, nausea is minimal."


"I have been taking TIKOSYN for 5 weeks.  It did not kick in until they did a cardioversion on me.  I am still having high blood pressure and high heart rate, as well as skipped beats.   I have a rash and itching that is very bothersome.  But other than that, I am doing well.  I feel good but I just wish my blood pressure and heart rate would go back to normal."


"Was just rx'd these for bronchitis with a dry, hacking cough that just starting to break up.   I am barely coughing other than to clear throat now and cough up stuff.  The continuous hack is gone!  Great for daytime use to avoid cough syrup with codeine."


"I have had my iud inserted February of 2014, now, more than 2 years later I have had it removed today, finally.

This birth control has been so horrible for me, so horrible that even if I got offered a million pounds I would still not get that thing anywhere near me again.

The first 6 months was okay, I expected it to be uncomfertable and maybe a little painfull but 2 years later the pain only got worse.

I took this because I had very painfull and heavy periods, also I kept forgetting the pill.

My periods have been super heavy, really painfull and irregular.

This is not even the only thing, ever since I have this thing I have had chronic thrush infections and so much discharge that I did not dare to go outside because I was scared."


"This medicine helped me a lot at first, helped me get motivated to get out of bed, etc. Now I'm extremely irritable and very snappy with my husband and daughter. I have also had some very bad fits of rage. I've just put in a crisis call after I caught myself about to hurt my daughter. Cymbalta is not a medicine that is working for me after taking it for a little over a month."


"I've been on Yaz for 2 1/2 years and I love it! My breast grew a cup size, which was great for me because I was barely a B starting out. Definitely helped with acne and mood swings. I still get the occasional food cravings before my period is about to start but overall I love it. My doctor okayed me to skip the sugar pills in my packs so I only get a period every 6 months or so. Nothing but good things to say."


"The only side effects I experienced was thinning hair and a real drop in my sex drive.  It's cheaper than the other one I was on, but I liked Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo much better."


"Definite improvement in regularity, however slight feeling of tiredness and, fatigue which I hope will go away with time as I adjust to medication."


"I took this four times a day for four months and it greatly increased my milk production and had no side effects ."


"I only realized I was bipolar  when I  was in  my thirty's after years of self medicating.   I have taken lithium for three years now.  I don't feel like my whole world is coming to an end and that I want to kill myself anymore. I still have a long way to go in controlling my bipolar condition but I feel at least now I can exist in having a productive life."


"I started having at itchy mouth/throat with ulcers developing on day 5, not realizing I was having an allergic reaction. On day 7, I went to bed and woke up at 5am  then almost  blacked out while laying in the bed, sweating and my whole abdominal area swelled up from below by breast area all the way down. It was the weirdest feeling I've ever had and thought I was literally going to die. I grabbed 2 Benadryl immediately (thank goodness I had it) and got immediately to the doctor. This happened 4 weeks ago. And I am still not over the itchy roof of my mouth and still have a few ulcers. I am 42 yrs old and I have used this medicine several times over the years so I don't know what happened, but I want to tell other women to please be careful."


"When I first took BELVIQ I lost a lot of weight, around 64 pounds within months of taking it. But like a lot of people I stopped taking it because I thought I could keep the weight off, but I just couldn't because Obesity is a disease that requires life long management with medication, nutrition, lifestyle, and exercise. I am back on BELVIQ and am happy to report I am doing well.

BELVIQ has been the answer to my prayers - It is the only thing that has helped me loose weight, ever. I did try therapy w/ nutritionist, psychologist, personal trainers who were really expensive, and even pre-packaged. None of that worked for me. But now with BELVIQ I can say no to junk foods and unhealthy foods this helps me maintain a healthy weight."


"I am 22. This thing HAS helped my horribly heavy, painful periods. But my body is so sensitive to this. I have broken out in horrible cystic acne on my chin (derm said this commonly causes acne) and cheeks, and my JOINTS ache, I can't sleep, I'm constipated, I'm sweating worse than ever & having hot flashes when it's 60 degrees. So, beware, for highly body-sensitive people, this may not be worth it. I am getting it removed. BUT IT DID HELP MY PERIODS!"


"I have had no problems with weight gain, if anything I lost 10lbs. I had the it implanted in August 2015 and just got my period in December 2015."


"I got Nexplanon inserted 4 weeks after having my child (mid August) so I've only been on it for 2 months but I'm not sure how much longer I can take. After having my son I was loosing weight like crazy! I was and still am breastfeeding as well. I gained 25 pounds during my pregnancy and had lost 45 pounds by 4 weeks postpartum. I have now gained 15 pounds since starting Nexplanon. I don't feel as though it has had any effect on my emotions other than my sex drive is lacking, but that could also be from the breast feeding. I also bleed every day the first month after insertion and am constantly feeling bloated. If I gain anymore weight I'll probably be calling to get it removed."


"I read all of the reviews on this medicine but it took 6 hrs for it to work on me! And still working today.

Thanks for the info on the 'gurgle' when you hear that-start running to the bathroom!

But it does work and I plan to keep some on hand if this happens to me again."


"Have taken meclizine for about three years to combat nausea from Tramadol 40. It has been perfect with zero side effects. Can be bought at Walgreens at 100ct for under $10.00."


"I have used Efudex for years on my severely sun-worshiped skin.  I could never tolerate more than 7-10 days, and never got great success. I tried Tolak once, with much better success.  The mode of delivery, inactive ingredients or something made a big difference, and I tolerated it almost 4 weeks. 1X a day app and something about it makes side effects milder, yet results better.  I ended up getting much better results than I ever got with Efudex.  I see some people here are discouraged that they don't get inflamed as soon as they do with Efudex, but the milder reaction allowed me to stay with it much longer.  I did get a severe reaction after the 3rd week, but excellent results.  Will use again....no more Efudex for me."


"This stuff works great.  Clear head and reduced asthma reaction to allergens.  The only problem is if I take it at night it is real hard to get out of bed in the morning and I am usually groggy for the first couple hours at work."


"No side effects!"


"Herniated a disc in my lower back in fall of 2009 (via MRI). Couldn't be out of work 12 weeks going the surgery route. Talked to my Family Doctor....said I could try Gabapentin, but that it doesn't work for everyone. Told him I wanted to try that route. Slow dose build- up...starting with 100 mg morning & night. 100 mg add every 3 days until pain disappears. Got up to 600mg am and 600 mg pm. Pain, numbness, etc...gone. Went off it in 2010 without any remaining symptoms. Moved our house contents again in 2015 and again re-herniated the same disc.
Dr. re-prescribed, only this time I had to slowly get the dose up to 1,500 mg twice a day before all pain symptoms were gone.
I personally never experienced any of the side effects indicated below."


"Let me say this right now, my girlfriend and I had to use this one day after a bit of an accident. I said if it works I am writing a review. So I can happily say it did. She was really lucky in the sense there were no side effects other than some light nausea and fatigue. For everybody out there either panicking or debating, just let the drug do it's job. I'm also going to say right now that my girlfriend is 195 pounds and 6 foot tall. So she is above the weight limit people like to put on the drug. It worked for us."


"Was diagnosed with 'silent' GERD with erosive esophagus.  Put on omeprazole for a couple weeks, then got prescription Dexilant for a couple weeks.  Both gave me daily very uncomfortable symptoms of heartburn that I had never had before.  My doctor said I was his first "failure" on that medication."


"Didn't help with pain and I  am  still tired But made me more talkative. I am not going to spend anymore money on it my insurance won't cover it  Not worth it."


"Lortab has been a God send for me. I have had 6 major abdominal surgeries in 7 months. Last one in July of 08, and I still have a lot of pain. I take 1 x 5/500 every morning and 1 in late afternoon. It takes the edge off, it also winds me up, so I then can do some house cleaning."


"I took the regular Keppra and it made me feel groggy and tired. Since taking the Keppra XR I feel more normal and balanced."


"I have experienced severe diarrhea. I have also experienced headaches. I hated this antibiotic"


"Never taken any antidepressants.

Initial days were bad due to interactions with other medicines. I had nightmares, lack of sleep, nausea, anxiety, and negative thoughts.

Once I straightened this out, I felt great, have a clear mind, and I've lost 5 lbs in about 2 weeks."


"I was in a car accident. After taking Tramadol, Flexeril, & Naproxen everyday while going to chiropractor for 7 weeks I still had pain in upper & lower back, right shoulder blade, right arm & wrist everyday. Had 3 MRIs on week 9 which revealed 5 bulging/herniated discs with pinched nerves in neck & 2 in lower back. Was prescribed Medrol Dose Pack 4 mg (21 pills x 6 days) & had 70% pain relief afterwards. Side effects from Medrol Dose Pack I had were nausea, slight headaches, and trouble breathing (I never took the meds on an empty stomach & have no health problems, 31 yrs old). 4 days after completing dose pack a majority of pain reappeared again everyday. Now have been prescribed aquatic therapy and IDD (cervical/lumbar mechanical traction"


"I have dealt with hearing voices for around 10 years. I have been on medicines, that take the edge off. But this, this, was a miracle. I don't hear voices anymore. Worst side affect I have, is drowsiness."


"This is a qualified positive review for Xanax.  I was suffering from mild depression and anxiety last winter and my doctor put me on Wellbutrin.   That stuff takes 4-8 weeks to work and in the interim it can really up your anxiety level.  A week later I started 1mg Xanax 1-2X/day and it took care of the anxiety immediately.  I continued using Xanax for more restful sleep but after about 3 months I realized that short and long term memory was WAY down.   Stopped Xanax and replaced with GABA and this seems to be a far better solution.   The Wellbutrin worked great, felt more energy the first week but did take 6-8 weeks to fully kick in.  I will now ONLY take the Xanax for rare, severe stress.  Also check the  connection to Alzheimers."


"Its an awesome medicine. Gives pure relief in the systems internally. No side effects since I have been taking it."


"Had anaphlatic  response after receiving g series of injections. Causing a life threatening  experience  and several  days in hospital."


"Pretty good happy pill but sometimes leaves you with little emotion. I have mild depression."


"Within two hours of taking the first pill, I could feel the congestion start breaking up. Feeling much better after two days' treatment & no side effects."


"My 8 yr old has been on Enbrel for 1.5 years.  She went from barely able to walk or get up in the morning to running and tackling her brother.  She still has flares, she still has bad days.  But thanks to Enbrel she's learning how to be a kid... something she didn't know before starting it."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 months and haven't had any issues.I am wondering about my sex drive though but I am not sure yet if its the pill or work stress because I have a lot of that. My periods are shorter and lighter and as long as I eat when I take it I don't experience any stomach issues. Everyone's body is different and just because someone had a bad experience doesn't mean you will. I don't have issues with anxiety or depression. Those who experience that already may have an increase of those symptoms. Pills don't make you gain weight food does. If your appetite has increased on it practice some discipline and eat less. I exercise regularly and have not gained weight."


"I was good the first two days on this medicine but on the third day I got lots of itching and skin sensitivity. I was hoping this would work for me but it did not."


"My doctor switched me from Prozac which I have been on for years and really works for me. The reason for the change was lack of sex drive. When taking this medication I became anxious and angry. My heart would palpitate and I would shake. Stopped taking and went back to Prozac and leaving good enough alone. This was scary stuff."


"Okay, so I have never really had "cystic" acne. However, I have had severe acne on my back since I was 12 years old, I am now 21. When I was 14, I went to my dermatologist and he immediately had me put on accutane. I was on accutane for about 6 months. And yes, it completely cleared my skin. However about three months later it all came back. Ever since then I have been on the benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin on and off. Tried epiduo, nothing. As I now have acne worse than ever, all over my neck and let me tell you I scar SO easily. Every pimple leaves a scar. All over my neck now and also on my back from many years. I am currently using it and PanOxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash and it is working good, but am extremely dry and flakey!"


"I only discovered I had GERD from an endoscopy.  I've always had a horrible stomach, but recently had a constant sore throat.  The Protonix worked wonders!  But then I noticed I was constipated and had a huge appetite.  I briefly switched medicines but went back to Protonix.  It was when I started taking it again and had two abdominal exams that I realized my liver was enlarged.  The doctors immediately dismissed it since I've had my gallbladder removed.  They said it was scar tissue.  My daughter has eosinophilic colitis so I'm really just focused on her gastrointestinal care, but at my next follow up I will address the issue.  I did cut out milk/dairy from my diet and that seemed to help as much as the medicine!"


"My son was having alot of trouble in school and we ended up having him repeat the first grade. At the end of his first year in first grade we put him on the medication and saw an immediate difference on his focus. He is finally above goal in his classwork. So as far as school goes he is doing amazing. The con for us is my son is very thin to begin with so the medication hasnt helped with weight gain. Also he does strange things like hitting himself in the chest not hard just looks strange. He just does odd things at times. But he doesnt have any issues sleeping. "


"I took the shot once and from the week I took it until the week it ended it was literally impossible to have sex, it hurt everywhere. Inside and at the opening. We tried to have sex maybe 4 times, just for a few seconds until I couldn't take it anymore. Husband went crazy! The GYNO said that I didn't fit the profiles for anything like endometriosis or vulva-something, nothing. I was a medical mystery with no reason to be having so much pain. There weren't other symptoms or side effects for anything, the doctors were all just like "I don't know -  good luck".
And I bled for 80 out of 90 days. Profusely.
As far as protecting against pregnancy, I don't know, because I had sex a total of 48 seconds in 3 months."


"It saved my life. So thankful I gave it a chance."


"I have been on belviq for a month now.  I have lost a total of 13 lbs with no side effects other than dry mouth.  And I look at that as a good thing because that only forces me to drink more water.  I have never been a big water drinker... or drinker of anything for that matter.  I truly believe my weight loss would be greater if it weren't for my job.  I work a 14 on 14 off schedule in the oilfield.  I sit behind a computer for 12 hours a day.  I tend to lose very little weight while at work because I don't move a whole lot.  During my 14 days at home it drops quite fast because I don't stop.  I find belviq gives me the drive to move.  I also don't have much of an appetite on it.  And when I do eat I am eating half of what I used to eat."


"I'm currently 15 months out from taking 2 pills of Bactrim and it was the worst side effects of my life. It started with uncontrollable anxiety and depression. I didn't feel connected with reality and I felt very confused. By the second night I was unable to sleep and that is still plaguing me. I shook the anxiety and depression within a few weeks but my sleep didn't become bearable for about 7 months and then it was still terrible. To this day I have poor quality sleep, confusion and occasionally onset insomnia.  Avoid this drug. I also had a similar reaction to Levoquin. It gets better just ridiculously slowly. Others recover within days."


"after having my daughter my skin went oily and gross went on accurate for 6months and the oily and skin cleared up.... 6 months later it came back worse then ever... DR put me on .1% retanoid cream... Did nothing much made my face peel and burn for 3 months.... Went back and Dr gave me doxy have been I for maybe 2months the big cystic acne didn't clear until month 1 had red and rash skin.... But stuck it out... Now I alternate 1night retinoids 1 night doxy and it's the perfect balance. Yes my skins oily and have one or 2 tiny hormonal break outs its cleared up 80% am happy don't want to come off the doxy!!!!"


"I was suffering from sciatica, herniated and bulging disc L5-L6. Had multiple epidural shots and radiofrequency, which gave temporary relief. I had been prescribed Arthrotec a while back but did not take it until pain was unbearable lately. I could not get comfortable whether I was standing, sitting or lying down. Driving was also torture. Within 2 days of taking Arthrotec 75 (2X daily), my pain disappeared almost completely. After reading comments, I will try 1 pill per day to see if it sustains."


"While this medicine is keeping me from going blind, it upsets me every time I read the information about it (not suitable during pregnancy). I want to get pregnant but it is impossible for me to be taken off this medication without going blind. It looks like I'll never be able to have a child."


"I started taking Mucinex D a few days ago and since then my eyes have completely dried out. I've started getting severe earaches for the first time in my life, and I haven't been able to sleep. I have no idea why this is happening. I keep drinking tons of water but it doesn't seem to make a difference."


"Valium has helped my spasms in my back better than any other muscle relaxers. I have been taken it 10+ years and after that long of use I really never get the sedation that I did when I started taking it. I take 10mg 3 times daily and have not found anything yet that works well for me."


"I've been on a variety of medicines over the years, including Risperdal, Geodon with Zyprexa, and now Abilify.  Though I feel I'm overly medicated at 40mg per day of Abilify, I've improved to the point where I don't hear voices or feel paranoid anymore and am active in the community. I take it at night and sleep around 9 to 10 hours per night.  Not sure if that's normal with Abilify or not, but I'm not complaining.  Surprisingly no other side effects."


"Helped TREMENDOUSLY with my pain, which is not cured of course, but at LEAST cut my daily pain in half. My old boyfriend is also on this and feels the same way as I do."


"Upon 1st using this approximately 6 or so years ago I too labeled this as a miracle, unfortunately my last 3 migraines they have had no effect. "


"The medication itself is quite helpful. The peel-off backing is a real pain. I struggle with it every time I need a new one. Is there no way to design an easier way to get the back off. Maybe starting the medicine part of the patch farther down on the backing would help."


"I was given this drug in 2012/  I've been experiencing dementia stages, delirium eight weeks post surgery. Then again dementia stages within a year,  then again dementia stages  with two days of delirium. Then I had another episode about 3 to 5 Day dementia like symptoms. 2016, I was experiencing dementia symptoms seven days straight, then was found on the seventh day and delirium stage hospitalized, drug culture came back  with no drugs in my system.  There are told to put me in restraints never   Happened my family was holding me down, two security guards on my feet, and then a nurse came in said I was  spitting, she came down on me with an elbow knocking out my  top teeth bottom tooth on the left side of my jaw!  I need help  and answers. Many others out there. No help from no one, doctors neurologists etc. do not want to address the issue."


"After I had postpartum depression after 2 weeks of giving birth then my 9 months through it got really worse. I would always snap at my boyfriend about the little things. I got irritated very easily and would cry everyday. All I wanted to do was sleep. I also tried counseling before deciding to take medicines. I just felt like a horrible mom. I took Celexa and after a week I felt the change in me right away. I felt more about things and my anxiety went away. I had more energy to do things and more motivated to do things. I love being me again."


"Today is my 7th day of the 15 day trial and I've lost 4 pounds. I will refill my prescription as soon as I can (despite the cost). I'm looking forward to posting more about my results as time goes by. Start 209lbs current 205lbs 5'4" 31 year old female. I've never been "skinny" but after quitting smoking I gained 20lbs, tearing my ACL, MCL and spraning my LCL I gained another 15. I also managed to get pregnant 3 months post-op and gained 70 pounds during my pregnancy (I wasn't allowed to workout while pregnant after my surgery). I had lost 56 pounds of the 105lbs I had gained but haven't lost a pound in a year and a half. I get monster craving and I can't say no to food. Belviq helps me say no. 0 side effects for me."


"I have bulging and degenerative discs from my cervical all the way down to my lumbar.   I would have it rubbed on my back on days when I couldn't get out of bed or stand up. The cream along with my meds would put me to sleep and then allow me to get up pain free. It's really great after a long day."


"I was worried about starting birth control. I wanted something with little to no side effects and something that wouldn't be a big risk to the bits of cervical cancer I have. So I talked to my doctor and he put me on Lo Loestrin Fe and I love it. It's amazing. I have very little side effects, like when on the blue pills in the pack, I have a little bit of acne but when my period comes at the end of the pack the acne goes away. I also have a little bit of bloating in the belly but no big weight gain and sometimes I get a bad headache an hour after taking it. I also have trouble sleeping and sometimes my arm goes numb but I don't have bad side effects. These are nothing, I love this pill. I have no random spotting or bleeding and it does not make me sick."


"Not even morphine takes away the pain of the cluster headaches like demerol"


"I was on mononessa and my doctor switch me to microgestin saying there are less side effects. Worst mistake I ever made. I used mononessa without having one complaint. It's been one week I started microgestin and I'm having chest pain, headaches, feeling nauseous and tired all the time and I can't sleep at nights."


"This stuff is seriously the best thing I've tried. I applied it within the first couple hours of noticing a cold sore bump start to grow and it never even developed into a full blown cold sore. It was completely gone in 3 days, and during those 3 days it wasnt even bad or noticeable. Absolutely worth the price. will repurchase when I run out."


"This medication does not do anything for my fibromyalgia pain, it does lessen anxiety and treats insomnia. I was given six different sleep meds, none of the them worked. My sleep study showed 15 minutes as the longest period of of sleep that night. I went 6 days with only 2 hours on night 3. I thought I was going crazy. I can't explain how it feels to go that long without sleep. This medication was the one that finally knocked me out and kept me out.  The problem is I sleep too long when I take it. The have fibromyalgia & multiple disc issues and bursitis in my hips.  if I do not turn over frequently my back and hip pain increase radically. I slept like I was in a coma for 8 hours.  I only take when sleep is more important than pain relief"


"Decades - yes, decades - of sleep problems (late onset, circadian problems, waking frequently to urinate, exhausted all the time and all but dysfunctional during the day ... Tried many types of "sleeping pills" (Zopiclone was hilarious:  after 3 nights in a row - in repeated trials - it made me sooo depressed, and my memory was seriously disrupted ( another side effect) ...

Dramamine (25 or 50 mg, an hour before sleep time) has been a miracle drug for me.  My sleep is still not perfect but so much improved that my life is coming back."


"I've been taking paxil and Trazadone and its been helping me to get through each day. My anxiety is down and I sleep well."


"59 yr old male. This drug made me have trembling and muscle aches. It never helped with the depression after 6 wks. I hope I can find a med that works for my MDD."


"Have loved this product since I began using it. The price is great."


"I was on this pill for four months. A week after I started it, I noticed my hair was significantly thinner than normal. The hair loss kept getting worse over the next few months, which is terrifying, I can assure you. I quickly fell into a black hole of depression, which I had never had problems with before. I also had no libido and horrible dryness, to the point that it hurt to even touch my labia. I also gained weight in weird places and had the "pregnant woman body." I quit the pill two weeks ago and it's like a black cloud has been lifted off me. I'm crying reading these reviews because it's such a relief to know I'm not crazy.

If you're on this pill, just watch out for the side effects and know it's not you, it's the pill."


"Been on this birth control for about 6 months now. I had tried so many other pills and everything gave me side effects like extreme anxiety, weight gain, high blood pressure, and breakthrough bleeding. When I switched to this one the only side effect I had was weight gain but now on my sixth pack I'm starting to get really bad acne around my chin and forehead and my horrible menstrual cramps are back. Thinking about switching again. My poor skin has scars now:( It does however work to prevent pregnancy though."


"Have been on Imuran for 6 years and it has helped some off and on. In the beginning I went to the bathroom about 10 to 12 times in a day thus losing a lot weight which I didn't expect.  Now I go about 3 to 4 times a day and I do have a flare up every  now and then. Was finally weaned off of prednisone. Have gained some weight back. Overall the medication has helped though my immune system has been weakened."


"Lisinopril is very effective for essential hypertension, even in low doses.

I have had good experience with it."


"I wasn't taking Tegretol for just for complex partial seizures,  we thought it might help with my extreme mood disturbances as well. Had some luck with the seizures, however I was still having extreme lows, paranoia as well as intense and explosive rage. 100mg of Zoloft gave me some relief for the lows, but started on 25mg of lamictal to help with the paranoia and rage. I've been taken off of tegretol now, and I'm currently taking 250mg of lamictal, increasing to 300mg. It's literally changed my life. No rage, no paranoia, it's levelled out my moods (with the help of Zoloft), and my seizures have stopped."


"Will prevent the pain of a migraine if I take it when I first get an aura.  If the pain has already set in, it will greatly decrease and shorten the duration of the migraine.  Only side effect is that it makes me feel tired, this can be helped if taken with Exedrine.  This is the only migraine reliever that's ever been effective for me."


"I developed a yeast infection and purchased this product. I used it last night before bedtime and today I'm experiencing  an increase in yeast infection symptoms (as was noted in the instructions), I am also experiencing extreme fatigue which I guess is extremely rare. I'm hoping it as well as the infection go away soon."


"I take "Xanax" prescribed by my Doctor.
Not everyday though.
Sometimes.
For helping me sleep when my thoughts are going crazy and my imagination is wild.
It does help for sleep.
Addictive if you take it everyday."


"Took Vigamox for Lasic surgery, worked great just left me lightheaded and a bit dizzy with some blurred vision."


"I think this is one of the best medication's out there at this time. It has really changed me 100%. I have bipolar and I can't tell you how happy I am. I have also been on regular Seroquel and there is no comparison XR for me works far better than the regular. "


"Only med that has ever really worked for me. I've tried every holistic approach to treat my anxiety, taking a .25 takes the edge off like nothing else. I'm afraid to take meds but taking xanax doesn't make me nervous. I only take it when my anxiety and panic come back, sometimes I have it under control for long periods of time. I read a lot of negative things about becoming addicted and the withdrawal effects but most of us who really suffer hate taking meds. We rather get better with no drugs. It helps me calm down so I can think clearly and get through the day or night. Wanted to post something positive for those who are afraid to take it."


"Very Effective for Lower Back Pain"


"I had it implanted about 2 weeks ago on the day I should have started my period.  My period did not start instead I had all the PMS symptoms and a little bit of spotting.  However a week after I got it my period came, bleeding, cramps. The worst period I have ever had by far. My periods usually last 3-5 days and I am now on day 8 of heavy bleeding and cramping.  I also feel very emotional and moody.  The site was badly bruised and hurt for 3-4 days when it was put in.  It looks a lot better now.  I am seriously thinking about having it taken out already because I can't handle the bleeding.  What's the point in taking birth control if you can't make use of it because you can't stop bleeding? "


"I had a miscarriage on March 10th 2013. With the miscarriage I bleed a lot, that night after going to the ER my pj's where soaked in blood. I couldn't see the Dr until Monday. When I finally got in to see her and they confirmed the miscarriage , they said it would be best if I got on the shot. A couple days went past still bleeding heavy. The Dr said it was still because of the miscarriage. A month later still heavy bleeding. Went in to see the Dr again and she said that it's normal for a little bleeding I was trying to tell her it wasn't a little. Non stop heavy bleeding for 6-7 months, later finally stopped bleeding. Had my first child 6-1-14. I'm still having side effects from the shot depression, etc"


"Just too expensive.  $200 AND 3 months later the side effects were too much for me and only 5 lbs gone.  Was on support group on facebook but seems its been pulled."


"About 5 days ago I realized a cut, I thought I had cut myself while shaving... it then got very uncomfortable and burned while I urinated. Finally, I took my camera down there and wanted to look... I noticed a few more cuts  that look like canker sores so I made an appointment right away. She told me it looked like genital herpes. She gave my the cream and the pills. It's only been a day and it doesn't feel like it's working. I know it's soon. But I still feel like I'm on fire, I'm itchy, and it still burns like crazy. Is there anything else I can do?"


"This medicine keeps me well and out of hospitals. I've been on it for almost 20 years and the only time I get symptoms is when I've tried going off of it and end up in the hospital, only to return to using it. Lifesaver for me."


"Was severely balding/thinning prior to taking it. Started on Propecia, and although it took a little while to work (at least half a year), I ended up regrowing a lot of hair. Switched to Proscar, hair grew back even more and thicker, hairline looks great now. Very minor side effects at the beginning, none since."


"I started taking the 2mg patch for severe Restless Leg Syndrome, so bad I was having to take Sinemet all day and night for relief. I was miserable with rebound effects and waiting for the Sinemet to kick in. Now that I've been taking Neupro, it has been life altering. I can sit for hours and not be miserable and sleep very well at night. Finally, a medicine that does wonders for me. YAY!"


"These patches work great for my Neuropathy.  I had great difficulty falling asleep at night due to pain; I put the patches on 1 hour before bed and the pain is greatly reduced.  I too had a problem with the patches staying on, so I use some first aid gauze tape over the top of the patch.  A small price to pay for some pain relief."


"this is my 2nd day of taking it.
I do feel a bit better.
I noticed some posters speaking about nausea.
take this med about 15 minutes after a FULL meal.
NEVER on an empty stomach. "


"I had to switch from Aviane to Sronyx about 2 weeks ago because my pharmacy ran out of my normal pill and honestly I can not WAIT till this pack is done because I've gotten terrible side effects. I've gotten extreme nausea, crazy discharge, constipation, sore breasts and daily headaches. I've also been really irritable, I'm scared to see what my period will be like!"


"I've had the Nexplanon for a little over a month. I'm five days late, but I'm guessing that's because of the Nexplanon. I haven't had any bad side effects. Having it inserted was pretty painful, sore for about a week. But now that's it's healed I barely even think about it. As of now, I love it. Don't have to remember to take a pill every day, no period (yet). Hopefully it will stay like this."


"This was the miracle drug to help get me through the hot flashes and insomnia associated with menopause.  It also helped my anxious insomniac daughter.  I take 300mg every night before bed."


"Was prescribed Bactrim for a UTI . Within minutes of taking my first dose I became extremely itchy and developed welts...
I stopped taking it and it took two days for the itch to calm down.
So apparently I'm allergic to it. Had to get a different drug called in which was CIPRO will not take that one do to bad side effects so now I'm on Macrobid. Will see how this goes."


"Amazing medication! My teenager has severe ADHD, and it has turned her life around! She is able to be her true self, but before her severe ADHD often overshadowed her great personality. She does have depression and anxiety but the Vyvanse does not cause that. The medicine did make her lose almost 25 pounds, and she was in 9th grade and she weighed 99 pounds. She was really small, and we almost had to take her off the medicine, but she eventually started gaining weight. She is still very small, but her weight is healthy. It does make her a bit more irritable, but it's nothing compared to the rage she had before the medicine. Vyvanse has finally been able to get rid of that ADHD, and help her think clearly, and be herself!"


"Have had a very good experience with Apri! It's the first birth control I've been on and it's been about 9 months now. It's regulated my periods so I can predict it down to the hour, they're less painful, I feel less nausea, and they're much shorter and lighter! I haven't gained any weight - just fluxed a bit up and down a few pounds. Overall - really good!"


"I was on Daily Fosamax about 5 years ago.  I had severe GERD and stopped taking it. I used calcium supplements and in those years I didn't have much change. Recently after a scan, it showed that I had bone loss so I went to the weekly Fosamax. I took it in the morning and by that evening, I had severe backache and muscle ache that got worse.  Then I had horrible bloating.  I could hardly walk with the pain.  I called my pharmacist and they told me that I need to contact my doctor and to stop taking the medication.  They told me that the side effect symptoms might take up to 7 months to go away.  I can not function.  I will contact my doctor to see what he has planned.  I would like to just take calcium and vitamin D regularly."


"I'm taking 60 mg Prozac since 4 weeks. I only relapsed twice in the first week (while being on a lower dose) It took away the urge to binge and even purge. I'm less depressed, too. I've been through 5 years of psychoanalysis and 2 hospital stays all to no avail (never took medicines). I have bulimia for over 25 years and am hopeful to get rid of the food pressure - for good. Prozaz changed my life so far. I'll update at a later time."


"I am so happy to be able to use something that can make me feel normal again! "


"Works well on all symptoms. Treats cognitive symptoms better than other meds. Does not make my mouth twitch like some meds. No sedation at all.  No sexual side effects at all. Only noticeable side effect is a disturbing mental state when going to bed at night. The only other drawback is that it is not yet available in generic."


"I was first put on 20mg, then 40mg. I was being treated for anxiety and depression. The first night, my entire arm went numb for a split second and I felt like I blacked out, which led to a panic attack. I was encouraged to keep going. Over the next few weeks, I felt tired, dizzy, I experienced blurry vision and the inability to focus. I have trouble sometimes processing spoken language, but this medicine made it so I couldn't even read very well. I've not been doing very well in school. I have been nauseated, exhausted, had missed periods, and after a few weeks I also started having insomnia and have not been able to sleep. I also had severe depression and violent urges. Nothing good has happened. This medicine is ruining me."


"Hello, I have read everyone's reviews and they are great and all true. I had the Implanon inserted December of 09, well still in the hospital with my new born. I did not feel a thing it was amazing! After three year you get it replaced for a new one so the procedure to take it out is longer than putting it in due to the Doc having to find it and push it out. You don't feel a thing due to numbing. I love this birth control, well obviously if after three years I had the old one replaced with a new one. Side effect happen mostly with bleeding, if you are a irregular bleeder well with this you will be regular meaning you will have your period on the same day of every month whether its the beginning, middle, or end of the month you can count on it."


"I have had Gingivitis and very deep pockets for quite some time now. My gums would bleed when I flossed, brushed and used my water pick. Nothing I did worked. I had gum surgery also and the bleeding continued. On a visit to my Dentist I was given Periogard to try and within 10 days of using this product the bleeding completely stopped. I was amazed to see how this product worked to kill the germs that cause my Gingivitis. I do have some tooth staining but I can live with that. My teeth feel much better and the taste of blood from bleeding is gone. Saying I'm very happy with Periogard would be an understatement. For me Periogard is my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I just wish my dentist recommended this to me sooner."


"I thought this was helping my back and sciatica.  Today was my 4th day taking it and I have stomach pain so bad I am contemplating going to the emergency room.  I can't keep any food down at all either.  This is worse than the back/leg pain."


"I'm 49, menopausal and I am detoxing methadone (for cancer pain) and every night I find myself wide awake, body and mind despite Rx sleeping pills. I was taking  2- 3mg tabs of melatonin with fairly good results. I have since learned that that is considered a high dose. However I picked up a new bottle and inadvertently got 5mg tabs so for 4 nights I was taking 10mg and it had an opposite effect. I was anxious, my heart was racing, I became quite depressed through the day, and of course I was wide awake. So if you are having any of those problems with melatonin then maybe try a lower dose. I have since learned that a body normally makes .3mg/day so much lower doses make sense. Sweet dreams..."


"I'm starting my second week of six weeks for a spot on my chest. I thought it was an allergic reaction after the first night I took it. My entire chest is covered in red swollen, now crusty welts that are painful. The dr said those are all cancerous cells he couldn't see with the naked eye and it's good that it's bringing them out. Honestly, I don't know if I can make it 6 weeks. The pain is bad, I'm naseauss all day, I have achy muscles and feel tired. I have a high pain tolerance so for me to be so bothered is unusual. I know it's working, too well. I'll try and stick it out, what's my alternative? I also have to wear shirts that cover up to my neck it's so bad."


"Works well."


"I had the Mirena inserted about 6 weeks ago.  It was quite painful, I cursed very loudly and then broke out in a sweat, but after about 10 mins I was ready to leave.  I had cramping for about 3 days afterwards but nothing major.  My first period afterwards lasted for like 10 days and I had the worse migraine EVER.  The only other thing I have noticed is I have a small belly now, oh and I was so HORMONAL for the first couple of weeks.

Since then, everything has been good, I think you need to let you body get used to it and then all the symptoms fade.  If the belly persists, that may be annoying, but I think it's already better."


"Just mixed my first bottle with ginger ale at 4:45 finished it 4:50 record time for me plus chashed it down with one of the 16 oz of water !! If you guys think this is bad you would have died drinking the golytly from 20 years ago!! The second prep was 2.5 years ago movieprep I just pretended it was a shot at bar lol but this one was a breeze.... 52 and this is my 3 rd colonoscopy I have severe diverticulitis so I know what to expect. I have a very soft diet for the whole week before test because remember what goes in must come out :) Good luck everyone<3"


"I was only on Nucynta for 2 days.  50 mg tabs x 3 times a day. I have been taking tramadol with no problems, but thought this might work better, as tramadol does not always control my pain.

I must be very sensitive, as this medicine on day 1 made me feel as if my body were speeding, but tired and loopy at the same time.
Day 2 was more of the same, but I needed a higher dose in order to control a pain level of 7 that comes upon me as the day wears on.  I decided I did not want to go to 100mg because of my sensitivity to this medicine."


"I love this type of birth control. You don't have to worry about taking it each night. It does effect people in different ways but I have lost weight from stoping my other birth control to this one. I do get migraines and it works awesome! The only thing is that my arm is so itchy!!! I did just get it about a month ago. But love this birth control!!"


"I've had difficulty with both falling asleep and staying asleep for years. My doctor prescribed Temazepam 15mg capsule 1-2 capsules as needed for sleep. I picked up the prescription on my way home from work and at 7:30pm I took 2 capsules. I figured as difficult as it is for me to fall asleep with most prescription sleep aids it takes 2-4 hours for me to fall asleep. I was fast asleep within 30 minutes and slept all night, woke up for about 5 minutes the following day at 10:00am, dozed back off and slept until 10:34am the following day. Needless to say my body was in desperate need of sleep and this did the trick. I will only be taking one when I go to bed tonight and make sure that I have 10 hours just to be on the safe side."


"I have had success with using Tramadol for neck pain. But recently after about 6 months of use, am exhibiting some of the common side effects which include headaches, trouble sleeping and sweating."


"Before I took this medication I read many reviews from others so that I could make sure that I wanted to take as some of the reviews made me think twice about taking them. Based on the review of someone on here I decided to take mine with 20oz of water and while I had a little bit of bloating for about an hour or so that and other than diarrhea about 2 hours later for 15 mins I was fine. The bloating I did find uncomfortable for that time but once I went to the bathroom I was fine. I have only been on it a week but I have learned when to take it how long it takes to kick in and for the side effects to fade. So far so good just a helpful tip is to make sure you are drinking enough water too. I drink about a liter within an hour of taking."


"I was prescribed Tramadol for a herniated lumbar disc and sciatica after trying several other painkillers in vain. This is the only painkiller that has given me any relief and I can feel it working immediately. I also take Diclofenac and find this to be a great combination. Night times are still a problem for me but during the day the pain has significantly decreased. I've had a couple of side effects - dry mouth and occasional sweats but I'm willing to put up with them for some decent pain relief at last."


"After having two children, I opted to have the Mirena inserted at my 6week PP visit, instead of using the pill. The insertion wasn't painful for me personally, however, I had it put in mid-end April, and it is now 4.5 months later and I have had bleeding/spotting everyday since that time. I have yet to have an actual period, but have spotted / bled enough every day since the insertion, with more painful cramps (daily) that I had previously on a regular. cycle. Also, I never experienced migraines in the past, and since the mirena I get them frequently (at least one biweekly) that brings nausea and effects my vision. I waited 5 months to give my body time to adjust, but at this point yes it's doing its job but the sideeffects are not worth it"


"I have been on TRILIPIX for ten (10)  weeks.  Two weeks ago I woke up with a dizziness, seizure, the likes of which I have never experienced.  It has altered my inner ear significantly.  It is most seriously when in bed, and turning to either side in my sleep pattern, that I fell the room is  circulating and hovering.  I have to go back to Tricor."


"I find this drug very helpful for me. I suffer from chronic pain and have been on painkillers since 2003. I'll admit that I developed a full blown addiction over the years. Now the Dr's that were prescribing obsene amounts of pills don't want to prescribe anything anymore. So I decided to give this a try. It works really well. It also seems to be a great painkiller too. So far a win, win situation."


"Having felt sick for the better part of the last year, many side effects of pain in my neck due to 3 bulging discs,  I was recently hospitalized with heart palpitations but nothing seems to be wrong with my heart. My doctor thought I may be having depression due to all my physical pain. She started me on 25 mg of zoloft two weeks ago and increased it to 50 mg today.  I'm feeling a positive change already. Not dwelling on my feelings of pain and sickness.  I will continue zoloft as the side effects are minimal compared to the benefits"


"It changed my quality of life for the better, but since having to change to new insurance, they will not allow it, so now I am back in agony again with Migraines!!
 I would give anything to be back on the one thing that has helped me in 50 years of searching!!"


"I was hooked on opiates for 10 years! Mostly snorting oxy and perks for the first 7 to 8 years and the last 2 years I was introduced to morphine H and hydromorphone as well as the needle. Although I was a mess all these years it wasn't until I tried the needle that opened my eyes to my addiction. I went downhill fast.  I tried everything but there was no stopping this. I tried cold turkey to quit a few times and almost went crazy and died from sickness. The sickness I started to feel from the needle was way worse than it ever was sniffing. I knew I had to get off but I tried methadone before and it didn't help me it made me feel the exact opposite of how suboxone makes me feel. Subs=energy,happy,stable,no urges, not stoned"


"Trying to get off this drug caused brain zaps, extreme dizziness, diminished libido, and panic which caused me to get back on the original dose. I still don't fully understand what it does."


"I am 18 years old. I have already been taking birth control pills before but I was tired of taking them everyday because sometimes I would forget so my doctor did recommend me getting the Skyla since I had heavy bleeding also. I got scheduled to do it December 30th it  was the worst pain ever . I couldn't take it at all when my doctor tried to dilate my cervix so I had to get it done at the hospital and they put me to sleep. I got this done January 8th, had bleeding ever since but its very light and I have to wear panty liners everyday. I love the skyla but the bleeding isn't my favorite."


"I have been on Asacol, two 400mg pills three times a day. It has done wonders for me. I have no side effects at all and it has kept my ulcerative colitis in remission with to symptoms at all. While my doctor has told me to stay on the full dosage, the bottle says that after 6 weeks one should go on maintenance of only 4 pills per day. Due to the expense of these pills, I am already down to 5 pills per day and still doing great."


"I have delt with acne since I was 15, Throughout high school it was here and there. After high school it got worse and worse. I am now 21 and just finishing my second month on being on Ortho tri-cyclen and my acne has increased since using (which I was told and aware of). I was very hopeful but I'm starting to get discouraged and starting to dread looking at my face everyday. I'm going to continue using it and hope for the best. I really hope this works for me."


"Feels like something running around in my stomach, really bad wind, scared to poop in case of an accident. Couldn't sleep until 5am for fear of an accident in bed. Had two accidents already in 3 days. Oily discharge leaking and making my underwear smell bad as well, which must be noticeable. Haven't taken my second dose today. Want to give this a fair trial but unable to leave the house for fear of accidents. Will see if half the 120mg dosage works better on me. "


"Absolutely miserable.

I used this product after 4 days of intense itching and all it's done is swell my vagina 2X it's size and burn the living hell out of me."


"I've been using tetracycline for around 5 weeks now and have gone from constant, incredibly painful, inflamed, angry acne covering my cheeks, jaw line and even cropping up on my forehead to acne free skin. It took around 3 weeks for me to see a noticeable difference but from then onwards the results have been consistent. I haven't had a new spot in 2 weeks now, so I can finally focus on treating the hyperpigmentation left from previous acne."


"I am 38 and have been taking Lo Loestrin for 12 months. I did not use any form of contraceptive prior.  I started taking it because after 37 my period turned into an unrecognizable beast to the point of unbearable. Doctor said I was fine just getting older...Started LOLO. I did all the research and prepared myself for a horrible transition. It took about 4-5 weeks for my body to acclimate. I experienced fatigue, bloating, headaches, stomach aches, and gained 10 lbs. The side effects didn't all happen the entire time and they weren't severe so much as inconvenient. But knowing poss side effects did help me stick it out. SO GLAD I DID. All side effects gone. No add weight gain and period is back to NORMAL! use coupon for discount!!"


"I have been taking Synthroid for almost two years. My doctor told me that I might not be able to conceive but I am 15 weeks pregnant. My current doctor told me to take this medicine religiously because this is keeping me pregnant. "


"I'm a 33 year old male and have been on Lexapro for a little over a month now. The first day I felt like I drank tons of coffee..I felt good but wired. Then I felt tired all the time for the next following weeks. But for the past week or so I have been feeling awesome, more confident, talkative, happier but still very sleepy. It's great because I actually sleep the whole night but its so hard to wake up. I get to work late sometimes. I tried switching to taking it midday but by 7pm I'm ready for bed. I'm still happy and love it but the drowsiness and yawning are irritating because I want to do more with my evening."


"I took this pill for the first time in college because of abnormally heavy and frequent periods. I stayed on it for about 6 months before stopping once my cycle levelled out. During this short time taking the pill I was very anxious, nervous, and depressed. I started taking the same pill again about a year ago for the same reasons. I have noticed over the last few months that I go through spats of depression and I am always anxious. I am beginning to wonder if there is a correlation between the pill and anxiety/depression. Other than that this pill has been great for me; no weight gain, no acne, and my last period was 8 months ago. Decent pill, but planning to talk to my doctor soon to look into other options."


"I've been on this medication since Wednesday, Nov. 11th. It's Tuesday, Nov. 17th, and I've gone down 5 pounds in 6 days.  So far the only side effect is dry mouth at times which gave me more of a reason to drink more water. I take mine at 6:30 in the mornings, and it's effective all day. Some evenings I notice I'm tired more than others but not every evening. I pair this with eating healthier and exercise to try and get the maximum results. I've cut out coke and fast food. And my portions are basically cut in half. I don't feel like eating like I used to. Overall, I'm loving it so far."


"Hospitalized with fever. Took it for 3 days. Doctor couldn't find out where or what type of bacteria I had. This medicine is definitely the highest form of antibiotic for bacteria or infected by anthrax. Leaves a bad foul nasty taste in your mouth and when you blow your nose. Made me so sick to my stomache, it made me cough up bad tasting phlemg and gag at the same time. Doctors need to really take this medicine more seriously. I refuse to take anymore of this crap."


"Awful I've been taking this pill for a year it made me gain 20 pounds causes headaches an really bad cramps and didn't help with my period after the first few months DO NOT TAKE IT"


"Doctor suggested Cymbalta in coping with lifes ups/downs.
Worked very well.  30mg works perfect.  Only side effect personally, erection/ejaculation.
"


"Wonderful birth control! Had bruising at implant site, to be expected. Had very few side effects: one I really notice is headaches, otherwise nothing. Had periods maybe once every two months, and I now haven't had one since February I think? It's August, so I can't even remember! 100% contraceptive. 4.5 stars. "


"Today is September 29 2016. I have always had fairly normal periods, minimal cramping, minimum bleeding, lasting 5 days tops. Last year my period started skipping a month here and there. I get my December period and it doesn't end. Fast foward to May 2016 I have a d&c doctor thinks this will help the prolonged bleeding. It doesnt. 1st week in September I get the Mirena IUD.  A month later my period is even worse and the cramping is awful. Im experiencing back and leg pain and I'm an emotional mess. Should I stick it out? So many have said it's worth it after 6 months to a year. I didn't want it to begin with. I wanted an eblasion. Doctor said insurance would fight paying for it since Ive never had kids. Any advice?"


"This stuff caused me not to think clearly and I suffered a lot of side effects but I still coughed.  Not what it is supposed to be.  Would not wish this stuff on anyone.  I am still recovering from just taking it for 3 days."


"It worked, a little too well. I became indifferent to EVERYTHING. inside it was like a part of me was screaming, but my whole body and 90% of my brain just did what it needed too. I am normally a goofy, fun loving, hyper personality. I do get bouts of seemingly unshakable depression and anxiety, but while on this medication, I noticed a change in myself... beyond the tunnel vision, and kaleidoscopic hallucinations I had when waking up in the middle of the night... every night. the final straw was was seeing my now wife, looking like she lost her best friend, as I just wasn't myself. I stopped taking the mediation, and within 2 days started singing to her again, and nothing brought a smile like that to her face until we said "I do"."


"I was prescribed strattera 50mg once a day to go along with the 20mg of Ritalin I take 2x a day because the Ritalin doesn't cover me for later at night, because I go out almost every night with friends. The doctor said after a week or 2 it should start to work. I took it for 2 weeks and continued to get cold sweats, shivers, and just felt like crap so I stopped taking it. It didn't help one bit. It made me feel like I was on a anti depressant or something.  All around terrible experience and I will never take it again. I'm at my doctors today to rectify the situation"


"All the positive reviews on here are written by paidpeople and MNKD shareholders. Afrezza isn't being prescribed because it's an expensive drug with unknown long term effects on the lungs. Proceed with caution"


"I was on Zoloft years 9 years ago for social anxiety and it worked great for me. I decided to get off it but slowly all my symptoms came back. Also got very depressed. Got back in Zoloft 7 months ago and I feel great again. I did have to get a night guard from my dentist. I chipped two from teeth and cracked a molar from grinding my teeth. 200mg daily."


"Like everyone else out there, for 15 years I have been on and off anti-depressants, been on almost everyone of them. Been on Cymbalta 90 with trazadone and Xanax.  Back in May stopped all medicines (surgery complications), except Xanax. Severely depressed since then; constant mood swings from being happy one minute then becoming impatient and finally agitated and some rage, almost bi-polar like.  Condition got to a point where anxiety/panic attacks would leave me in mental break-down symptoms in crowded places (heart pounding, sweating, etc..) and then typical breakdowns involving sadness and suicide. I thought these symptoms were a side effect from Neurontin. Met with Psychiatrist, on Pristiq ER, Abilify and trazodone and woke up feeling great!"


"Wonderful drug."


"TERRIBLE. When I skipped the placebos and began my 2nd pack, and my forehead exploded in acne within the first 3 days, and several painful cysts formed. I've been getting way more hormonal cysts since I first began Sprintec, one even on my upper lip and underneath my brow but this was the last straw. SIX CYSTS are now on my chin that I had to get injected today, because I couldn't even open my mouth to eat or smile. Fun, right? I also have 3 nasty pustules around my mouth. Please, put the Sprintec down and back away slowly before you get hurt!"


"It is the only med that has helped my migraines!"


"In 2012 after getting some shocking news my body went weird.  I was treated for a year on a powder that made your bowels flow.  I still suffered from stomach pains.  I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy.  Finding were some polyps and acid reflex and some kind of cyst that was pushing down on my stomach.  My Gi and Surgeon said after surgery I should return to normal.  That did not happen.  My Gi doctor told me I did not have IBS and would not treat me for that.  My new primary doctor looked over my records and listened to me.  She said it does sound like IBS. First plan was to change my eating habits.  That did not help much at all.  On 12/23/2016 she issued me Dicyclomine 20 mg 4 times a day. I don't have stomach pain and bowel almost normal."


"I gave birth to my daughter 7 weeks ago and had the nexplanon implant purely on the recommendation of the health advisors. The insertion wasn't painful but within hours I was lethargic, tearful, sweating and had an horrendous headache. I haven't cried once since giving birth, don't get headaches and had been happy and relaxed - this reaction had to be a result to the nexplanon. I started to panic and literally wanted to rip the thing out of my arm. Fortunately I have a friend who is a nurse and she took it out the next day. I know I should have given it more time but I have 2 other children to look after and my own business and I want to enjoy my life - not put up with feeling horrendous! My advice is to avoid at all cost."


"Suprep was horrible! Nasty and expensive! 80 dollars. It made me so sick toward the end of the prep. Chills and freezing and shaking. This time my prep was decent using magnesium citrate, ducolax and miralax. Great price for the three items no cramps! Hoping all goes well. Dr has to remove a flat polyp!"


"I am just finishing up my 3rd pack aka finishing my 3rd month and I haven't ever felt depressed like this ever before. Sure the first months I got some mood swings and i was very emotional but now my anxiety is being triggered and I have no appetite! Al I want to do is stay home and sleep, I feel sad and uninterested in anything.. Will be switching soon and hopefully I can go back to happy me.. Didn't experience any weight gain and it did not help with my acne."


"I have had panic disorder since I was 15 years old. Paxil has truly improved my life. 20mg doesn't seem to be enough but 40mg does the trick. The only side effects I have is that I sweat more and I have less energy. Paxil is a life saver!"


"I used to get migraines 3-5 times a week, one of which was usually severe.

Elavil reduced my migraine frequency to about once a week (if that!) The migraines I get now are extremely mild.

I would highly recommend this medication for migraine prevention"


"I started Belviq XR daily on November 19, 2016. I am 5'4" and initial weight was 197. Today I am at 170. I am also on Saxenda (liraglutide), which had worked for a while, then I quit losing. My provider recommended this combo and it has been wonderful. I had minimal side effects to start with, the worst is probably being cold all the time, which is something I am most of the time anyway. I did run out after my second month, and that was not a fun experience, but my provider and I now know that I will have to be tapered off when that time comes.  Please don't make judgements about this medication until you have been on it at least a month, it takes you at least that long to acclimate to it."


"I decided to get the Mirena after my son was born because the pill they gave me really messed me up. Also the thought of not having to worry about getting pregnant again was awesome. Having it put in was a little painful but overall pretty fast. It makes you have a very dizzy feeling right after but I drank some water and was fine. I have not had many cramps but I have been bleeding off and on for the past 6 weeks. It's not very heavy but would be nice if it stopped. I thought I have been having some mood swings but I have a 7 month old so its hard to tell whats stressing me out. No weight gain, I go to the gym and i have been losing all my baby weight. So I would say for me its worth it so far."


"I have been  on 10mg ramipril and 4mg doxazosin for some 10 years, have periods of low BP which result in fainting, also severe ED problems and night sweats plus joint pain.

Have now weaned off the meds completely by diet and excercise (lost 4 stone) and am maintaining good BP reading, the side effects have all gone and I feel 10 years younger. I know this is partly weight lose/better diet but also feel the meds where in fact slowly killing me."


"I was put on Latuda recently after switching from Zyprexa because Zyprexa made me extremely fatigued. Latuda doesn't make me as tired except for when I'm driving, when I feel like I'm about to fall asleep at the wheel and sometimes do close my eyes. In addition I'm hungrier than normal and even though I'm only eating 1,000 calories or less a day and am exercising at least 4 times a week I am not losing weight. I feel like I am suffering pointlessly for this. It hasn't helped my depression either. I am irritable a lot of the time and am still having mood swings. I think it may be time for me to quit meds for good. They haven't worked for anyone else in my family so why should they work for me? I need to get off of them."


"I've been on it 3 weeks now and I've lost 19 pounds without exercise. It has cause very bad headaches and dizziness. But the weight is coming off."


"Clonazepam is very effective in controlling agitation and providing much needed rest for bipolar disorder. It takes away the racing thoughts and irritability associated with mania. I also suffer from very intense anxiety and 1mg to 2mg/day allow me to be functional without clouding my mind. I prefer Klonopin to Xanax or Ativan because it lasts longer (up to 12 hours) and I don't feel the craving between doses. Withdrawal from clonazepam is not as hard as some people say, it must be gradual. If that doesn't work, ask your physician to switch clonazepam to its equivalent in diazepam. I found it easier to reduce my clonazepam doses from 3mg/day to 1mg than to stop taking 200mg quetiapine/day."


"I took Metformin 1000 mgs b.i.d. with no glucose control, added in Januvia 50 mgs 1 qd and STILL no glucose control and A1c sucked big time.  Now have added in 300 mgs of Invokana 1 qd and my glucose has dropped from 450+ to 110-120 and my A1c is down from 9.7 to 6.2!  Severe hair loss and leg and hand cramping but I am ALIVE!!"


"I had the worst experience on this medication. First, I recieved 2 shots. Secondly, I was on my period for 3 entire months, non-stop, heavy bleeding. Third, I gained roughly 25 pounds on the shot. Thankfully, I have changed birth controls and have been off the shot now for over a year, but as soon as I stopped the injections, the weight melted off without any change in diet or exersise."


"I first took it and felt great for about 5 days. However, slowly I started feeling sick again. Now I'm back to throwing up twice a day and can't eat hardly anything. I don't know if it would be worse with the medication so I keep taking it."


"I was on this "medicine" for 4 years ( ages 14 to 18) it is honestly one of the worst medicines i have ever taken. It not only sapped me of all of my strength and will power, but it increased my agitation to unseen levels ( i had a pretty bad temper before this but i had learned to control it) it  mad me gain over 150lbs in that 4 year period( i was at 120lbs when i started  it and 375lbs when i stopped taking it)it also got me to the point i felt nothing but anger and when i wasnt riled up i was a blank mask of indifference, not only that but i have been off of it for 4 years now and i still have trouble controlling my anger and weight. Plus i have this problem where i can't stop moving(mostly my legs and the right side of my neck)"


"I have little to no acne thanks to these. The only problem I face is bloating"


"Seriously worked better than the Percoset given to me at the hospital. I hurt my back but needed to go to work and couldn't be loopy. Lasts about 6 hrs then pain started to kick in again.. then took the OxyContin and broke out in hot sweats and nesusea... other one was way better"


"50mg for 90 days. Every day I'm nauseated especially after taking the pill, often dry heave, and have even vomitted. Headaches and fatigue. However, my UTI cleared up and I have only experienced one flare up so far. I'd rather have my stomach wretch for a few hours over the pain and discomfort of a UTI."


"Love it. I haven't been sleeping for 3 years prior. I started out at 50 mg but now I'm at 150 mg. I only take them when I absolutely need it. I'm always out in 10 min. The only downside is I sometime I only get 5 hours of sleep. That's rare...I'll take 5 over none:)  This medicine has changed my life. I'm not such a cranky Mom:)"


"Use something else!!!! I used the 3 day medication and by day 3 I have no idea if my yeast infection is gone because my vagina feels like it has acid burn!!! I have 5 itchy bumps, 3 spots where my skin just ripped open and it's swollen a little. Oh... And it burns like no other & to no end!! Why the hell would they let a company put this "vaginal acid" on a shelf!! I even took a percocet to take my mind off the pain!! ( & no I'm not a dope head, I am a married mother of two.)"


"I had really bad anxiety issues before I hopped on this medicine, was constantly feeling down and never wanted to be around people.. the being around people part hasn't changed probably because I'm just a solo person, but my mood is so much better and I just feel happier with life, at times I feel a little to happy that I get aggravated if that makes any sense. but I love the medicine."


"I was taking this as a contraceptive and to prevent ovarian cysts, which I am prone to. This pill worked great for those two things and I had no problems with this BCP for the first year of taking it. However, after around a year and half on it I developed extreme anxiety, panic attacks, severe moodiness and change of temperament, as well as nausea every single day. I am about to go off of it, hopefully I can find a BCP without these side affects."


"Well to start off, I actually was on pills before this iud, I was bleeding for almost a month so I knew I had to try something different.  Let me just say "OUCH!"  The measuring part is what hurt the most honestly. Silly me for thinking they were going to measure with a ruler. (Eye roll) since I was a teen (now 23) I have experienced a bad life with cramps. When I was going through this, all I could compare it too was mild contractions. They hurt don't get me wrong but they weren't the real deal. I'm only on my second day with the iud, but I think its going well. I still have crazy cramps but I feel good. I mean, the bleeding stopped so thats a check on my book. I will post again and hope these cramps go away for good. (Fingers crossed)"


"By the time I started Topamax, I was getting migraines 2-4 days a week. Topamax seemed like the best fix. And for a while, it was. My migraines significantly reduced, though I did get most of the common side effects: slight tingling in my fingers, carbonated beverages tasted gross, and weight loss.

My main warning about this medicine is weight loss. It seems to be paraded as a benefit, and to some it may be, but if you are already naturally slim, pay very close attention. I wound up dropping to an unhealthy weight despite all attempts to counter it, and it's ultimately why I had to stop Topamax. I was unwillingly wasting away. When I stopped, my migraines returned in short order, and I'm still looking for an alternative that works."


"Took my first Ativan today and OMG I feel great this works amazing for shortness of breath difficulty breathing knots in the stomach, fear shakes sweats .... It's truly amazing I only took 0.5 and I'm happy I did I was afraid to take it but I'm not anymore it's a great miracle pill"


"This stuff will have your bottom shooting you up in the air like a NASA rocket engine. Taste like cherry salt tarts.  Certainly works!  There are several comments throughout this blog you want to heed with the upmost respect.  Whatever you do, don't laugh too hard and NEVER and I mean NEVER trust a fart!  Grab your squatty potty and at least 7 pretty thick books.  Good luck!"


"I have been taking the med for two months and I have as of yet had any recognizable side effects and the med seems to exacerbate the reason I'm taking it for, the pain and psoriasis symptoms.  So far I can say OK."


"I started to take Lonox once I was diagnosed with IBS. Before I started the pill I was always in the bathroom. Everything I ate made me sick. I was afraid to leave my house, eat out, and just go out in general. When I would get my “attacks” I felt as if I had no control over my body. If I had to go I HAD TO GO. There was no such thing as waiting until I got home. I started to map out public bathrooms that I felt comfortable enough in just in cause I had an emergency on the road and had to go. I’ve felt as if Lonox has given me my life back. I’m able to go out on long trips, eat out, and be me again with out fearing an “emergency”. I was directed to take 2 pills 3 times a day, but it made me constipated and I would cramp pretty bad. What works for me is taking the 2 pills once a day in the morning. I always go to the bathroom within ½ hr of taking the pill, but at least it’s predictable now and I stay regulated. Some days I have to take the pill twice, but never more than that."


"My derm gave this to me on a whim, as a sample at my last visit.  The nurse PA said her mom used it and it worked great........how many times have I hear that.   I have to say this stuff is FANTASTIC.  Not only have I not had any more cysts to form, it seems to have evened out my skin tone and texture.  I was very surprised at the results.  I have been using it for about 4 weeks......and I have three small pimples......PIMPLES....not cysts that are what "normal people" would get.  I have been very pleased and I keep thinking it will fail.......so far so good.  I would definitely recommend Soolantra"


"Cymbalta has increased my quality of life significantly. I have less pain and I am a happier person. I sleep better at night, most likely due to less pain from fibromyalgia."
