"Awesome help in all day function with Hemicrania Continua headaches (unremitting and fluctuating in severity all day long, 24/7, 365 days a year for 12 years thus far.)"


"Agree with everyone else. I am glad I didn't pay for it and only had a free trial. It's really useless.  Could tell no difference after using it.  I got more relief from an empty regular pro air (with just some residue coming out!)"


"The first pill very strong so waited till in bed and when the severe pain from shingles hit I took 2nd pill..instant relief. I was so glad I had the medicine and still have the bottle of pills as I never needed another. One pill got me
through the worst pain I had with shingles. I would not have a need for any now but saved in case shingles returned. I think it a tad bit too strong for most
pain that could be treated with a lessor degree of strength. 2 pills used out of whole bottle.  It was expensive but actually just one pill did the job."


"Week 1: no results

Week2: acne got WORSE ( to the point where I almost gave up)

Week 3: clear skin!"


"I would not recommend this pill to anyone. For the last 2 years it has done it's job of regulating my periods and preventing pregnancy, but the side effects are not worth it. Shortly after starting Junel I developed stomach problems to the point where I was on medicine for Acid Reflux and IBS-C. Then a couple weeks ago I was woken in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain and couldn't even get out of bed and walk. The pain actually brought me to tears. Being fed up with these continuous problems I stopped taking the pill after my pack ended. I've been off of it for two weeks and now my body feels like a weight has been lifted and my stomach problems have disappeared. Wish I had stopped taking a long time ago."


"I had the Implanon fitted in February this year after having my son in April 11. I went on the pill but would forget to take it so decided to try the Implanon. It is brilliant! I haven't had a period since being on it which is so much better. I haven't gained weight either. I still get the odd period cramps but that's it! Don't be put off by negative reviews because it works differently for others! Fortunately it has worked in my favor! Anyone unsure of trying this method of contraception should go for it!"


"I am a 6; 5'' 245 71 yr old retired teacher after 30 yrs since 2007. I played 2 yrs NFL n 2 1/2 yrs in ABA n am a night club bouncer  wk as a bond recovery agent and security guard at troubled apt complexes. 3 tours in Vietnam I have been shot, stabbed been in neurmous fights n in last 45 yrs have had 11 surgeries ranging from 2 total hip replacements to eye knees nose ankle. Suffice it 2 say I have experienced ' pain .' Have TN for last 16 yrs. Unequivocally, this is the WORST pain I have ever experienced bar none. And as I get older ,as I am told by my Dr, it will only get worse.I was prescribed 300 mg 3x/day but since June of 2014 have been taking 150 mg 4x/daily.now taking 900 mg /day and I can't seem 2 balance the pain.Any insight ???"


"I changed from Yaz to the Nuvaring as I liked the idea of it being a lower dose of hormones. I found it very easy to use but had to stop it after 2 weeks. Not only did I suffer from a UTI but the Nuvaring made me extremely tired so much so it started to ruin my life i went from being fit and active to spending every chance i got sleeping as soon as I took the ring out within 24 hours my energy levels were back to normal."


"Before being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis I was treated for general chronic back pain. I was started on Ibuprofen, but had to up the dosage. My GP changed me to Diclofenac (50mg 2x daily) but I didn't find it effective. I went back to 100mg 4x daily Ibuprofen which was much more effective for me.

I had no side effects while taking it."


"I took my daughter to dinner during which she mentioned our ride to school that morning. I asked what she meant. She told me I had given her a ride to school that morning. I have no recollection of taking her to school, leaving the house or coming home. It was a surreal experience and after reading the reviews here I have decided to stop taking the medication. It does help with sleep but driving in a black out is too scary for me."


"This medicine works great. It's a little costly."


"I've been on this birth control for about 6 months and I love it! Its helping me balance my weight, I lost 10 pounds on it! I have constant spotting with it but its not heavy and it doesn't leave anything on my underwear at all so that's pretty cool. 10/10 recommend."


"My wife was diagnosed with Stage IV non-small lung cancer that had spread to her liver and bones.  After being on Tarceva for two months, lung x-rays indicated that the tumors in her lungs had neither grown nor shrunk.  This month she is having a CT to determine the fate of other tumors.  She has had only a mild skin reaction to the drug."


"I'm 38 and have been a heavy bleeder for most of my life. Soaking pads and tampons many times day and night. I tried birth control pills to control my  bleeding but they made me depressed and had to stop them. I tried the Mirena and was shocked at how fast my periods stopped. Just unbelievable that in two months I went from soaking pads and tampons chronically to wearing a small liner daily. It was a small pinch getting it in and well worth it. I really thought there was hope for my bleeding and it has been gone for 5 months now. The first 2 months I had little periods. Then they stopped all together. This Mirena really works. Hang with it for a few months and your period will be gone."


"I was put on Trulicity by my doctor to help reduce my A1C levels along with Metformin 2000 mg 2X a day.   I was on it for about 2 months, with samples from my doctor.   My A1C levels went from 8.4 to 6.1!  My doctor was very happy.  I also lost about 10 pounds without trying.  I was less hungry so didn't eat as much, lol.  The only side effect I had was shortly after eating a meal, I would get a stomach pain that would last about 30 minutes.  Other than that nothing else.  I would still be on it if not for the cost.  Even with my insurance, it was $220.00 for a one month supply.  Sorry, I couldn't afford it.  I tried to get a discount, but apparently I don't qualify because part of my insurance is subsidized by my employer."


"Excellent medication! So much better than Synthroid or Levothyroxine.  Only problem is the expense! "


"I started Qysmia on 3/1/16 weighing in at about 217 pounds / 5'3". Started on the lowest trial dose.  I'm making a more conscious effort to get up and move, but I can not say that I "work out."  I have a sedentary job working as a triage nurse.  I did a lot of homework prior to asking my PCP to prescribe it.  I have to say that I had many concerns, but I knew that I had to try something.  He had never prescribed it before.  I talk with people everyday whose medical issues were brought on by their weight and I am scared that I am headed in this direction too.  My caloric intake is about 1600/day.  No side effects so far.  Today is 3/6/16 and I've lost 1.5 pounds.  Can't tell yet if it has changed appetite yet or not.  Will update again."


"I have taken many anxiety and anti-depressants medications in the last 25 years. I have taken Lorazepam for last 13 years when needed , but for the last 2 years my dosage was increased from 1mg a day to 3mg  a day every 8 hours , due to 7 close family members and 4 friends passing away. This is when the trouble started it did not work anymore , Doctor suggested I try clonazepam this lasted about three days , thought I was dying. His next step was to wean me off Lorazepam with Diazepam , I told him that I would not use a benzo to come off a benzo , then tells me too take 1mg a day for 30 days , realized he did not know what he was talking about or what to do. Then I went to my Pharmacy and asked her how do I taper off safely . Thanks to her we now have a plan"


"I took Prozac for 15 years and it worked great for obsessive compulsive disorder!  About 3 years ago I started noticing "mania" where I couldn't sleep or sit still to even eat.  After seeing several different doctors who treated it with medication for ADHD or Bi-polar it was determined that it was a side effect to Prozac so I stopped taking Prozac and all the mania stopped. Google shows two side effects to Prozac are 1) can't sit still and 2) can't sleep at night.  I wanted to share this unusual experience to help any others who may be experiencing mania and can't figure out why.  If you too are on Prozac then it may be a side effect but check with your doctor. "


"I experienced the "restlesss, anxious" side effects from this medication and it's been almost 24 hours and I am still feeling it in my legs.  My headache is gone which is great, but my legs can't stop moving."


"Spiriva and advair HFA have been very beneficial  to myself was not expecting this wonderful feeling of not using rescue inhaler so much, it's a true blessing cleaning my house, doing my treadmill, I'm a very ,very active person, am enjoying this, but keeping my excercising daily thank you spiriva!!"


"I was diagnosed with pneumonia and was given levaquin 750 mg for 10 days. I'm on day 6 and everyday I get fever, shivers and chills not to mention the extremely bad headaches!!I'm going to let levaquin go !! I am going to throw the rest of the pills. I have no idea how do they prescribe it!"


"I've had problems falling asleep and staying asleep for the past couple of years.  I could not sleep more than 2 hrs without waking, assuming I fell asleep at all.  The first couple of nights on Restoril were disappointing. I stuck with it, though, and am now sleeping much better through the night.  The only thing is that this medication has no immediate effect on me.  I take it 2-3 hours before bedtime, but do sleep much better through the night.  I do wake up groggy though."


"First month of taking 75 mg twice a day, didn't like the anxiety effect in the beginning but that has become more tolerable. Gotta say it has eased some of the pain for the majority of my work day except for Sundays and Wednesdays, due to the fact that I am a waitress, and those are my long days.  But have had difficulty resting, and it hasn't helped with the fatigue at all. See dr. tomorrow"


"Works at same dosage as it did when I first started taking it 30mg. No dependence noted. Benzos are only habit forming when NOT taken as prescribed."


"I have had psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for over 20 years. I started this medication 3 months ago my psoriasis have never been worse 80% of my body is covered in psoriasis. My arthritis has also been an issue but not to the same extent. I would never recommend this medication to anyone."


"I have used this drug for several years now and have had good success with it. I am on the 100mg and for the most part this will do the trick if I catch it in time."


"My ears were clogged so terribly yesterday. I tried this medicine out of desperation. It worked well. "


"I have diabetes type 2. I started using Victoza for 3 weeks now. I have lost 10 lb and I feel so energetic through the day. I love it . I just hope I keep losing weight because I have another 20lb to go and my sugar levels have been normal."


"This medication has saved my life I'm no longer using and I've been sober for over a year now. I have chronic back pain and I was prescribed hydrocodone and than after  a while Percocets. Well after some time my doctor decided to move and I was faced to find another doctor but finding a new doctor was hard and it lead me down a path of destruction than I found a doctor who would give me methadone to help with my pain and addiction and now I feel so much better."


"After 3 weeks on this trial drug, Entresto I started having breathing problems. Was out of breath going up stairs and short of breath most of the time.
By my 4th month I had gone from being a 51 yr old to seeming like an 81 yr old. I had no energy and a 10 min walk home now took over half hour. Even though I was walking as slow as possible I had many stops to catch my breath and get my heart rate down. I can no longer walk anywhere and rely on a lift. Stopped taking drug. Maybe down to feeling like a 71 yr old now. Just hoping the side affects will completely disappear. Meeting with consultant end of week."


"I started taking the this pill and after a little over a month I noticed I was getting highly depressed and high anxiety.  I haven't changed anything in my life. I just stopped recently in hopes that this stops it"


"NOT WORTH THE LITERAL MIGRAINE YOU GET!!! AND I DON'T PAY ANYTHING FOR IT!!!!! Worst BC I have EVER experienced! Terrible mood swings, horrendous weight gain (because if i don't eat every hour I get sick, shake and headaches - even after switching to taking the pill at night AND eating healthy alternatives - fruit, veggies, hell even crackers) How is it I actually LOSE weight (5-10 lbs ) when I start my period? Oh, because I'm not taking this God forsaken pill. You're better off being pregnant with how sick this awful BC will make you and how much weight you will put on. At least then you will have an excuse to look like a heifer. I have been on this for 3 months as I wanted to give my body time to adjust to it and it's been consistent. AWFUL"


"I LOVE this pill. I'm 18, not sexually active, and I used to have a bit of acne (which the pill cleared up). It's honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me. My periods used to be very, very heavy, and now they're light and I have almost no cramps whereas I used to have to skip classes because of the pain and I always felt like puking on the second day. My breasts got a tiny bit bigger, but not really. I haven't had any weight gain or other side effects except for the fact that I feel awesome and my mood swings went away. Everyone's different, but this pill just happened to be perfect for me. During the first month I spotted and got discouraged, but overall I'm so glad I stayed on it. Five stars."


"On a low dose (25mg) but helped with anxiety and depression, i feel much better since ive been on it. helped lower feelings of sadness and anxiety, makes it easier to live life."


"Insurance dropped me from trinessa and then put me on tri sprintec. My life has been a living hell on this god foresaken devil pill. I feel like I'm pregnant. I'm so depressed and anxious on this pill. I feel like crying daily. I feel so sick every day. I get light headed and dizzy to a point where I want to throw up or feel like passing out. Maybe it's because of my weight but this pill isn't one to take if you don't want to feel sick the whole time you're on it. I wish I had money for trinessa again. "


"Great for the first year then irregularity started. I took after my sons birth. It started with some mid period started. Light spotting then light bleeding. Now it's a heavy period every two weeks. I just stopped and will be switching at the start if my next period."


"This shot has caused me so many issues. I got it only once. Before the shot, I had abnormally heavy periods that lasted 6 days, and to be honest I'd rather go back to that. My body has had so many issues. The first month, things were fine. The only issues I had within the first month was headaches and nausea (the nausea got EXTREMELY severe at times, I actually had to grip onto my boyfriend just to get stable or lie on the floor). Then came the second month, EXCESSIVE SPOTTING. I also got major depression and hated everyone. I am currently on my third month of the shot and I am still spotting heavily, and sometimes bleeding. Due to the shot, I am now anemic and facing heading to the ER, but I can't because I do not have insurance."


"I have be type 2 for almost 9 months.  I inject Trisiba once a night  and take 2000 mg of Metformin a day (100 mg twice a day)  I was taking Jenuvia, but that made me feel very sick.  The T shot took its place and has allowed me to take less units of insulin, thus helping me lose weight. I've been doing the T shot for 2 months now.  the first 2 shots were BAD.  Every possible side effect. The sulfur burps and the diarrhea were HORRIBLE.   I stuck it out and it seemed to level out.  Some time I get REALLY nauseated and cannot eat.  Other times I get really tired and some blurry vision on occasion ( I think maybe 3 times in 2 months) The trick is to drink lots of fluids and have your Dr. prescribe a medical grade antacid and it will be great!"


"It is not a true sleep drug like prescription z drugs or benzodiazapines.

It  can cause tiredness and thus help initiate sleep, but it's not very powerful in this regard.  The effect is decent in those who have not used it much.

Tolerance builds quickly.  If you have not used it, it may work well, but after a few nights it will likely lose most effect."


"I took this for about 6-8 month and had the worst flare of my life. Spent 7 days in the hospital."


"Tried the 0.05 mg patch which I had to remove 7 hrs later due to extreme nausea. Maybe lower dosage will alleviate that problem. Waiting for doctor's call."


"During the first two weeks the fatigue was pretty bad (even though I only took it at night).  The dry-mouth condition seems to be ongoing, but the migraines are completely gone!  Three weeks migraine free so far!!"


"I've been using it less than a week and ( fingers crossed) it seems to be working well. Noticeable difference in my eczema areas. I will continue to use this as it seems to work better than anything else non steroid that I've tried. Hoping this will be a game changer for my skin and hope to get my son started on this too. Seems to be a great product so far."


"Today is day one. I am  5'2" and weigh 221 pounds. Approximately two hours after taking the first dose, I have a horrible  headache and feel pressure in my chest. No body aches or dry mouth and no nausea. I came to this very hopeful site for support and to read experience of others which has been helpful.   Thank you for letting people post reviews. It is very beneficial for us newbies ."


"I was previously on Prozac 20mg and switched to Viibryd because of the sexual side effects I was experiencing. Within two weeks I was back to my original depression with thoughts of suicide, uncontrollable crying, terrifying dreams, and mood swings. While transitioning my libido did come back, which was nice. However, I was forced to go back on Prozac and felt totally normal again within a week."


"Hi everyone I'm 42 I just had all my teeth pulled on Oct 6 ,2016. I was in severe pain

Felt like my mouth was butchard I took a bottle pain relievers in two days  no help so I get a bottle of Aleve 12 hour let me tell you it stopped my pain I was so relieved so the meds said take two than 1 every 4 hours  so I bought a bottle of extra strength Tylenol and I would take the aleve every four hours and 30 minutes later I would take the 0ne Tylenol extra strength

Works perfect today is my 4 day I feel great thanks Aleve"


"Just switched over to Wellbutrin and so far, so good. I had been on Zoloft for a year, following a diagnosis of depression.

Zoloft was just awful for me. The entire time I was on it, I battled chronic fatigue, no libido whatsoever, some memory loss, nerve problems, vertigo...you name it. And on top of all of that I completely stopped working out and put on 30lbs in 10 months.

Feel like I am back on the road to being me on Wellbutrin. 150mg XL seems to work for me.

Thank God- I was prepared to swear off any and all antidepressants if this didn't work.

Also, I haven't drank alcohol for going on 10 years, so if you're sober that eliminates one of the big drawbacks for a lot of people."


"I've only taken my third one. Just started Friday, I've had horrible heart burn, acid reflex. Stopped up head, stomach cramps haven't left though bleeding is fading, slowly but surely. I have no appetite and no sex drive. Can't tell my husband that though. Hoping it fades and my body gets used to it."


"September 5th 2016 at 4:30 p.m. It was me and my fianc"


"Just took my last pill yesterday. 3 months of Epclusa brought varying side effects monthly. 1st month— a crushing depression would come on approximately 1 hour after my dose. My mood would go from bright to dark like clockwork. If this happens to you, start dozing RIGHT BEFORE BEDTIME so you can sleep thru the blues. It’s weird and rare, but IS a side effect.
2nd month-  diarrhea, but my skin brightened and so did my eyes.
3rd month—fatigue. Some days I had to take 3 naps. And I’m usually manic/anxious and can go all day without ever sitting down. Not on Epclusa, though. It made me tired the last month.
That being said, it was all bearable, and controllable. I’m undetectable now, and am also blessed because of this medicine."


"I dont know how I feel about it. I'm 21, I was diagnosed with adhd this summer.  My grades went from c's and b's to A's and deans list.  I can't say I hate it, But i can't say I love it either. I use to be this free spirt girl who was bubbly and loved to go out with my friends..  Although, I did have issues with controlling my impulsive mood swings, I still was really happy. Since taking it the past 7 months, my friends call me the cave dweller. It's sad because I'm actually content with being alone. It use to drive me nuts. I'm almost scared to talk to people i dont know My social life has gone in the dump. Nothing bothers me. It makes me get really good grades, but it takes away the passion. I feel like a computer."


"This medicine was literally death. I was prescribes 500mg take 4 tabs a day for two day's meaning I had 2,000mg in my system the first day and the second day I felt horrible. I hate the feeling it give everything taste nasty as hell."


"This is really working for me. I am taking 24 mgs. once a day. I have had no side effects at all."


"For a short while (about a month) this medication worked alright for me, but after that I started having anger issues and mood swings. I was worse on this medication than I was without it. I've heard a lot of people have great results with it, but it was much more of a detriment than a boon for me."


"My neurologist put me on just about every preventative medicine on the market and none helped stop my clusters.  A high dose of Verapamil ER finally did the trick. (240 mg 3x a day)  After almost 25 years of episodic cluster headaches I have finally been virtually headache free for about 3 years now! I am a bit worried about the side effects of taking such a high dose for such an extended time though.  I've recently been having some voice issues and I'm wondering if there is a correlation."


"I have suffered from manic depression and pheripheral neuropathy for years. I have tried every med under the sun and nothing ever worked, until I tried cymbalta. I started on 30 mg and after 1 month increased to 60 mg. I feel as though I'm living my life now and not just existing. I'm not needing to take naps everyday and I have energy once again to do the simple things in life. I feel as though my life isn't on hold anymore thanks to cymbalta."


"Trisprintec was the first birth control pill I used.  I choose it because I was told it would help with acne.  (And obviously as a contraceptive). At first, TriSprintec was good for me, it helped my acne (it didn't completely go away) and my boobs got bigger! And well, I wasn't pregnant.  However, after two months I began to notice myself having mood swings.  This was so strange for me because I am such a relaxed, chill person.  I couldn't ignore that I was moody.  Little irrelevant things that happened with my boyfriend would make me very sad/mad and well. I don't think I've ever cried as much as I did when I was on this.  It was beginning to interfere with my relationship, so I stopped taking it.  This was just me, so it may be different for you."


"Before Natpara, I was considering declaring disability because I could no longer function adequately in my role as a professor.  The brain fog was so bad that I could not finish sentences and I was getting lost when driving in my neighborhood. The fatigue limited me to one activity per day.  I could go to the store, or I could cook, or I could clean the kitchen, but I could not do more than one activity.  Now I can work and still engage in some activities.  The brain fog is almost completely gone.  I have noticed some diarrhea when I start using a freshly mixed syringe. I still have some cramping in my hands and feet- especially about 18-24 hours after my injection.  I am so grateful to have Natpara.  I got my life back!"


"Levoxyl works great for me.  Synthroid does not work for me."


"Flonase is the only medication that effectively treats my allergies the best I have tried other medications and when my allergies are at their Peak at their worst I get terribly sick with a sinus infection upper respiratory bronchitis I get a lot of problems but with Flonase it clears all that right up and keeps me from getting sick"


"I have had the paraguard going on 3 years now. The process went smoothly but did have serious pain afterwards and took a good while before I could have sex. When we did have sex both could feel it for the first 6 months. Now we only feel it every now and then. I have gained a lot of weight since and recently EXTREME pain even when I'm not on my period. I have to have a nap everyday I literally cant stay awake. I have been checked out and they say everything is fine. I thought it was a chemical imbalance and started taking extra vitamins and still everything is the same. Not sure if it is the paraguard or just me. I know IUD'S effect everyone differently just make sure you take notes on any changes."


"I was on Reclipsen for a year. I was not happy with my experience. I always had a short fuse and my acne got worse. The only good things were that I had no weight gain and my periods were much lighter and one day shorter than without birth control pills. My obgyn tried me on Zarah and I had an even worse experience, so she switched me back to Safyral."


"I have been on this nexplanon carp for a year since last feburary.and let me tell u I would rather have stayed on the shot and deal with the long term effects than what I'm going through now I have bad headaches. The worst menstrual pains ever to where the first 3 days is just cramps to where I can barely move and my doctor told me that since I was on the shot for so long that since it stopped my periods that if I do the implant I wouldn't orally ever get it well that b.s. because by 6 months with the nexplanon in I thought something bad was happen to me. And I'm not really a moody or depressed person but it all changed bout 6 months in and I hate it . GANNA GET IT OUT ASAP"


"I have taken this BC for close to 10 months. I have gained so much weight and I have the worse moods. I already have issues with anxiety and depression and this has made is worse. My acne still comes and goes. I am determined to stop this medication. In the other hand my periods have been fabulous. Before I would throw up and have horrible cramps."


"I was given this medication the first time in a walk in clinic in the form of an IM injection. I don't know the dose but it worked magically! I have been suffering from severe migraines for over 20 years. I also take Zomig as needed. I told my GP about the effects I had with Torodol. I have tried literally everything for my migraines from natural treatment to every recommended medication. Nothing works to stop like this medication and sometimes I have to combine with the Zomig. I'm happy it isn't a narcotic and doesn't give me that looped out feeling. I just want to feel normal and this seems to help when I have severe pain of migraines. The doctor gave me an oral prescription which isn't as fast as the injection but it still seems to work."


"Maxalt has helped me so much. My migraines get so intense and the minute I take Maxalt I start to feel relief."


"Geodon has been the best antipsychotic for me from a physical point of view - I lost ten kilograms that I had put on while Zyprexa. Concentration is not very good on it though - I cannot study as well as I did on Zyprexa. I lowered the dose to 80mg and suddenly it was not sufficient and I started getting symptoms again. Now I am on 120mg and symptoms have gone away but am a bit hazy and unclear, struggling to concentrate and wanting to sleep late in the mornings. I want to try 100mg to see if I will stay stable on this dose."


"I never write reviews  I was searching to see if it is ok I keep taking Contrave and found this site!  I have lost 29 pounds in 13 months and have kept it off.    I feel great and went down three sizes!  After the first 5 days, felt loopy or slightly dizzy, I never had any side effects.   I take one in the morning with protein (egg or shake) and follow my plan.  You can't expect any pill to be a miracle maker.  You also have to have will power.  When someone puts a piece of chocolate in front of you and you eat it the pill won't work!  You  have to put time and energy into your plan.  I feel Contrave takes away the urges.   Watch your diet, eat well, be happy and this will work.  It did for me! Feeling great and maintaining my weight loss."


"I'm in my early 50's, I decided to give this a try, fatigue and age catching up with me, half hard most of the time.  I took 50mg. and waited a couple hours, went to bed with the wife. Wow is all I can say! Twice!  We have enjoyed it every since. Pricey though."


"Started Bydureon last night for the first time.  I put lidocaine cream on my stomach where I was going to inject.  After a few false starts, I injected quickly and had to check to see if needle was actually in.  I felt nothing when it went in.  Medicine did burn a little when it went it and burned afterwards for several minutes.  Nothing that was too bad.  I did rub the area after it went in to try to prevent the knots.  I also put on sea bands about an hour before the shot, planning to wear them for 48 hours.  Some GI issues, but not sure if related to shot or not.  Overall, not a bad experience so far, knock wood."


"Currently laying in bed dealing with the same intense itching and burning as everyone else. I am prone to yeast infections and yes this SUCKS! But ladies this is just part of the medicine taking it's course. Miconazole has ALWAYS cured my yeast infections. It's not the most pleasant thing, but a word of advice, If you think you have a yeast infection coming on just get the miconazole right away and it isn't nearly as bad if you treat it in the beginning. Sometimes I have tried to wait it out and have always regretted it and the yeast infection gets worse and then the medicine feels more intense and painful. If possible, the sooner the better in my experience. Also, never take the 1 day dose. 3 day or 7 day is the way to go."


"Started Saxenda 9 days ago today, initially weighed 301.2 and I'm down to 291.2 lbs, SO TEN POUNDS! I am so excited, I've been to the gym 5x this week, eating less than 1200 calories a day, have had no desire for sweets or sugary sodas.. which were my two main vices.  Really happy with my results thus far.  Have been lucky to not have any major side effects, some random stings at injection site, slight constipation and maybe 10 seconds of nausea here and there.  Just increased to the 1.2 dosage... ready to see where this will take me."


"I was prescribed tramadol 2 days ago.. On the 2nd day I couldn't do the simples tasks. I had no coordinate, I was falling asleep, it was the most horrible experience I've ever had that medication.."

"It tastes horrible but really helps and gets you sleeping."


"After trying imitrex and tylenol  and countless other medications for what seems to be hormone       related migraines.  Even if they worked for a short time the rebound effect was awful.  I have found it very difficult to get a physician to give me a one time dosage of metropolol.  One small dose cures me.  American doctors refuse to give me the prescription.  I finally had to go to another country to obtain the prescrption.I absolutely hate the American medical system.  I pay a fortune for insurance only for them to not care for me.  I am discusted by our greedy, price fixed, non caring medical system. Why can we not get rid of our awful, overpriced, ineffective medical system?  Big pharma bribes physicians with fancy coventions."


"Had pain in my stomach about 20 to 30 minutes after eating for the last 3 years. Was not taking any medications for my stomach but my husband was taking zantac so one day I asked him if it would help me. He didn't know so I would looked it up and found it helped a lot of conditions similar to mine. I realize I need an endoscopy but until I can make an appointment zantac is helping me a lot and I'm not suffering the continuous 24-hour pain that it had gotten to be over the last 6 months. Wish I had not waited so long to inquire about this medicine"


"Today is my 11th day on Accutane and I have already seen some major results. I had a small breakout the first couple of days, but now it has gotten so much better. I'm so happy because I finally have hope that my acne will go away. Because I don't even go out with friends anymore and everyone at school makes fun of my acne. Yes, its severe and I'm glad this is working. Side effects I have are dry lips and a little bit of back pain not much though. At school I am so ashamed of my face I try to hide it. All those who have severe acne you are not alone, I understand how you feel. "


"I (78 y.o. male) was diagnosed with NSCLC in March 2011 and in late May I started taking Iressa as a first line of treatment. For the first five months my only side effect was a mild rash. I then had swollen gums and stomach acid. Both quickly responded to antibiotics. 75 days between the March and May CT scans the tumor increased by 86% (from 4.9 x 4 cms). 50 days later in July, after taking Iressa, the CT scan revealed an 83% reduction. From March to July it reduced by 69% and in December, although subtle, there has been further reduction.  April 2012.  True to form, tumour started growing again after 10 months of Iressa treatment.   Still looking healthy, active in garden and taking 4 to 6 miles weekly walks.   Only side effect was mild rash mainly on body.  Now switching to conventional Chemotherapy today 10th May."


"I started taking movantik about 3 to 4 months ago. At first it seemed to work great. Then as weeks went by I noticed that it did not seem to work as well or at all. I started taking the drug in the morning and then late at night and usually the second dose would work. Then I noticed something strange where I would feel really sick especially during the daytime. And I finally figured it out and realized it is the movantik causing withdrawal symptoms. Not like complete withdrawal because I am on Fentanyl patches. But enough of a withdrawal feeling where I can not function at work. My recommendation is to not take this drug more than twice a week because it loses its potency. And only take this drug at night so you don't have withdrawal symptoms"


"Methadone treatment has changed my life but again you have to want to be ready to be on the treatment and give up the drugs. If you are ready this is the best treatment that will help you get your life back together. By the grace of god I have not used drugs since I started taking methadone and that was 14 years ago."


"I'm a 33 year old female.  I have been taking Lamictal for 5 years.  I don't know what I would do without this medication.  It allows me to lead a normal life.  I have been bipolar my entire life although was diagnosed with just depression until I was hospitalized with my first manic episode at the age of 22. I take 200mg Lamictal ODT (orally dissolving tablet) morning and night.  Lamictal ODT is expensive and tastes awful but the ODT works better than the regular pill form of Lamictal for me. I have no side effects I know of. I also do cognitive behavioral "talk therapy", practice Tai Chi, and do my best to get regular sleep."


"I had this before good experience.help lasted5 years the only problem I have is to get 3 injection that are very very painful. don't understand why they don't give a local before injection.
Then I was getting silvist injection I love that because I only get one injection.my insurance company refused to pay for it. they are ........!  I hope that one day they have to do this!. Sorry just my opinion. doctors need to take a stand against these evil cold insurance company who refused to treat the patent right instead of making them suffer .they aren't doctor's they know nothing about what I need .the people who run insurance companies have ice running thru their veins they are not human."


"This medication worked wonders for me.  I went from 230lbs in September 2008 to 175lbs in February 2009.  When I took it, it just made me almost forget about food.  I would sometimes forget about eating until late in the day and just ate because I knew I needed to.  The only bad part was that it stopped working before I got to the weight I wanted, but I haven't gained the weight back as of June 2009."


"If you are taking certain heart medications you are warned never ever to use Viagra or it's kin as it could possibly kill you by dropping your blood pressure off the scale.  MUSE does not have this risk.  I gave it an 8 because not everyone will need MUSE and for them Viagra is easier.  For me though it would be a 10+."


"I have tried quite a few antidepressants (fluoxetine, citalopram, trazadone, quetiapine amatryptaline,) but they all seemed to have side affects that I couldn't handle. I was prescribed venlafaxine XL 75mg twice a day. The start was pretty intense I suffered clenched jaw, constant yawning and excessive sweating however I kept taking them for a month and the side affects slowed right down. I think the worse side affect long term is insomnia, forget having a cat nap in the afternoon because you'll pay the price at night. The good points are that my life is actually feeling normal. My anxiety has gotten fewer and fewer to not having any. I can face the world and I can smile again. This drug has probably saved my life. I'm me again ☺"


"I was very nervous after hearing all the horror stories but decided to try it anyway. The procedure takes about 5-10 minutes it's very quick. The most uncomfortable part is the numbing medication because it burns but it's quick. They use an introducer to place the Implanon under your skin and it's over. I had a bruise in the area and I also experienced slight nausea and dizziness after insertion which ended in a headache but the next day I was fine. My arm was sore for a bit after but it's manageable. Since insertion on June 19th of this year I've had no period or spotting of any kind but keep in mind every woman's body is different."


"Here's most realistic review you'll read. Many ultra positive reviews are hyperbole and most of the ultra negative reviews are exaggerated just as much.
1. If your nails are legitimately infected, they will NOT clear up within a few months. Both big toenails were badly infected and other nails as well. It has taken 8 months. for me to finally see measurable results that I'm content with. In months. 4-6 I thought about stopping. I wanted better results. I turned a corner after 7th mo.
2. Use it DAILY and at the PROPER TIME, i.e. don't apply it and then shower 2 hrs later. Waste. Be committed to applying it EVERY day. Don't miss a treatment. I say early evening. ~12hrs until next shower and most can be barefoot entire time.
3. Use for ALL 12+ mos."


"Long term neuropathy in feet and to a lesser degree in hands. Feet problems are miserable. I am 13 years out from treatment and problems became prgressively worse. Neurontin helped, but tingling and pain has persisted particularly at night."


"Was bribed with a 20$ smiths gift card and free depo to use depo and be a depo guinea pig.  I started depo march 31st 2016. The first month no problems. Second month, spotting and a light period every other day. Third month, mood swings, hormonal acne, heavy periods, nausea, vitamin deficiencies, low on iron. One day I put a super tampon in with a pad under it, went to work right after and bled through my underwear and pants at work, this was not even ten minutes after getting to work. Had to go home very embarrassed. Soaked through pad after pad after pad. Again had to leave for very light headed and nauseas, found out I my vitamins were low. Bled the entire third month. So I decided not to get the second shot. Have been bleeding sinceJune"


"Overall, it has been the best anti-emetic available for chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. The downfall is gastric slowdown-- which can become more pronounced if on vinca alkaloid chemo or opioids."


"I have been taking this medication for 5 years now.  It has lowered my insulin levels but they still aren't normal.  I have lost 75 pounds and my menstrual cycles has returned to normal.  I went almost a year without one at all.  I also have hypothyroidism and I think my positive results are from it. I take two 500mg pills twice a day.  I have to eat with it or else I will get sick.  "


"I have been taking this medication for a little over two months. 1 10mg/1000mg per day. I love the benefits weight loss down 8 pounds, BP is Excellent. Only downfall is the side effects of yeast infections. I'm only considering changing medication for this reason."


"Remicade was positive for me for over 8 years.  Would close up my fistulas for up to 7 weeks before next infusion, but after 8 years all my joints and muscles were painful. Diagnosed with drug induced Lupus. Stopped Remicade looking for another way out."


"I have taken Claritin for a number of years now.  I have year round allergies and severe in season.  I only take this when needed  - I am not the take it as a preventative type.  My experience is that Claritin is effective if taken on an empty stomach and when my allergies are on the mild to moderate side.  If they are severe, it does not help."


"I got my first period when I was 11 and was regular up until I was 14 and then they stopped. Fast forward to 2015 and I hadn't had a period at all for 5 years. I decided to finally do something about it, I was actually enjoying the lack of periods to be honest! I had some tests done and the diagnosis of PCOS was confirmed. My doctor put me on metformin 500mg twice a day and I hated it. I was so nauseous for the first two weeks, frequent diarrhea and lots of dizziness but it all passed. After that I began to have more energy aaaaand my period came back. It makes you feel really gross at first but if you can survive the first few weeks you'll be all good!"


"I have used Axid AR since the early 1990's, before it was available OTC. It was the best product on the market for treating ulcers. It worked so well, I use to pay $90.00 for a month's supply of  prescription Axid. No generic was ever created that could compete with Axid's relief."


"I was on Loestrin 24 (1/20) for two years because I became sexually active and it would also help with my cramping. In the beginning, I had absolutely no problems with this pill. It took care of my periods/cramps like it was supposed to, but it didn't really take care of my acne. I gained a little weight. My moods improved a bit, but I still had pretty bad PMS. Also, since my periods weren't too bad to begin with, I kind of miss having them as a reminder that I'm not pregnant. The reason I'm getting off Loestrin now is because it's really thinned out my hair. I have very fine/thin hair to begin with and, though it doesn't come out in clumps, it's noticeable not as full as it used to be. It does its job, but it's not the pill for me anymore."


"I was on Percocet10/325 and due to the DEA wanting to cut back on the amount of tablets that was given out my doctor was forced to try me on something else, he tried Opana but that was my worst nightmare.My heart went crazy and my breathing was way off.Now he has tried me on Belbuca,starting out at 175 and moving me to 450,the only thing I can say is I 'm not sick or having withdrawals,other than that I have bad pain and can't do anything.The medicine doesn't stick to my jaw half the time and when it does it leaves a white film that doesn't dissolve.I feel Belbuca was studied long enough,or the participates didn't have the chronic pain that others have.I feel it's weak in comparing to percocet.I took 6-10/325 daily and wish I was back."


"I started taking 20mg Citalopram on 10/24/12 it is 12/12/12 on the day of this review. I have taken it everyday, I choose to take it before I go to bed around 10pm or so, because it makes me feel "different" if I take it during the day. It took about 2-3 weeks before I was able to get off my lorazapam and soley rely on the citalopram. I still get anxiety from time to time but no anxiety attacks since I have been on it! I have pretty bad anxiety from life experiences, and 8 years working inner city Law Enforcement - been shot at several times, seen things that haunt me daily, you get the pic. I have a lot of gratitude for Citalopram. I used lorazepam for about 2 weeks as the Citalopram takes time to work."


"It really works."


"I don't know if you loose weight on this or not.

I have taken 3 pills and it makes me dizzy and vomit. I won't continue with this medication since I can't afford to leave work every time I take it."


"I am now on bydureon for nine weeks now. So far I lost 30 and a half pounds.  I am eating right and exercising with the injection. I have some nausea the first 2 days after injection but not real bad. Also at injection site I was getting lumps but took someone's advice on here to apply ice for 15 minutes after injection and it works. I am very grateful to have this meds."


"Imitrex in any form is the Best med for Cluster headaches by far. High flow oxygen at first twinge, and the pill at the onset (even if you think it might hurt) Most effective. You all know how fast they come on. Usually work immediately unless late in a cycle. I too wish you could take more than twice in a 24 hr period. After suffering for almost 20 yrs with no medicine at All. For these crippling things. I have tried all Imitrex types, injections ,pills, nasal sprays. Injections are fast but so very expensive and painful as well. Nasal spray is nauseating for me, the pill form has always worked well if taken at the very BLINK of headache. Because of price and insurance restrictions I would wait to take the medicine. Not anymore."


"Got diagnosed 2005. I was  20. Started Complera 2014. CD 4 was 540, VL 75,000. Never Got sick or had OI's. Complera works fine, CD 4 now 942, VL undectatable ! Side effects# Gas , Foul smelling, constant and insomnia ! No rapid weight Gain"


"I've had E T since my late 30's and am in my early 60's now. My dr put me on gabapentin for neuralgia following shingles. We saw it just about stopped my tremors. I've been on 300 mg since then but after the first years it's getting worse where the present dosage is no longer helping. I'm not sure going up a dose will work. Took me 6 months where I wasn't sleeping constantly. The tremors are in my hands and my left is worse but thankfully I'm right handed. It keeps me from doing fine knitting and needlework and sewing takes me so much longer now. Frustrating!"


"I started taking 5mg 2 months ago and by the 2nd night I had my first dry night in months and even on the first night it was significantly better.  It has completely changed my life.   Unfortunately in this last week I have had 2 episodes of incontinence and have become concerned that I might need to increase the dose.  Initially I had dry eyes, blurred vision, headache with some nausea but this settled.  I am left with blurred vision sometimes.  I willingly put up with the side effects as the alternative is untenable."


"On Xarelto 15mg 2X a day since pulmonary embolism.  Very pleased as it allowed me to released from hospital less than 24hrs after admission.  One particular side effect:  I am experiencing vivid dreams since going on Xarelto.  Looking forward to getting off as soon as possible, but I am grateful that I am not on Coumadin or Lovenox."


"The patch is a wonderful item if it would stay on.  It only lasts 3 to 4 days then it dries out and peels off."


"I have had great success with this in conjunction with low doses of Prozac. The combination does a great deal to still the racing thoughts and anxiety."


"I started phentermine on 2/10/2015... weighed in at a whopping 282 pounds...first week and I've dropped 9 pounds.... I love it only 93 more pounds to go to reach my goal. will post again in two weeks!"


"I have narcolepsy and ankylosing spondylitis, I also suspect that I have Psoriasis on my scalp, but haven't had it diagnosed officially yet. Simponi relieves some of the pain and discomfort from the AS and I usually have no lesions on my scalp while I am using the injection regularly. I also take 5 tabs of methotrexate weekly (along with all the side medication that goes along with these).  I recently came down with a bad cold and was taken off these medicines temporarily.  Immediately upon missing my injection my symptoms were back.   The lesions started to appear on my scalp and are pretty bad.  I would say that my quality of life has significantly improved since starting the Simponi about a year and a half ago.  I take one injections per month."


"There is not one birth control method you can find that doesn't have complaints.  All the complaints are the same too.  I have tried Nuva Ring, Ortho, and the Mirena which all of them were a thumbs down for me.  I have been on Tri-Sprintec for a month now and this is the best fit.  I've had no stomach issues (and I have a phobia of nausea and vomiting).  I have to say my biggest complaint would be the bloating in my stomach.  My stomach and my hunger have increased. I can't completely say it's the pill because I've also quit smoking and I've replaced food for my smoking habit.  My acne has been pretty bad...like super huge bumps everywhere.  My mood is here and there which is sort of normal for me anyway.  I like the pill overall though."


"I stopped taking birth control pills because of the hassle of remembering to take them. My doctor recommended Nuvaring due to the convenience of using it and being a busy college student. However, two months after using it I had MAJOR abdominal cramps to the point where I couldn't walk. Turns out I had endometriosis and had to have surgery, it was not Nuvaring's fault. I was instructed to switch it out every 3 weeks instead of 4 to skip my periods; however, I have yet skipped a period and it has been 3 months since my surgery. I bleed for 2-3 weeks every time. I am switching birth controls to something more stronger since that is what my doctor recommended. Other than that, no other side effects at all."


"I've tried 5 different birth control pills before trying the Depo-Provera. There's no estrogen, so I don't get moody or sensitive. I also didn't gain any weight at all and was able to go back down to my normal body weight that I was prior to taking the pill version of birth control. The only side effect I feel is a little bit of soreness in my hip after the injection, but that's to be expected. The one complaint I have is that you're only able to stay on it for 3 years. I'd stay on it until I wanted to be pregnant if they would let me."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"A friend told me about this and after picking up GoLightly, I called my doctor who said they don't prescribe because of cost.  I was expecting up to $150 and even though I only paid $36, I would have paid $150.

The only issue I had was it took 4.5 hours to begin working.  It was so easy, that I thought I wasn't cleaned out enough!!!  My dr recommended taking it at 2PM and 6PM, then 1/2 bottle of magnesium citrate at 8PM.  By 11:30, I was done ad had a good rest.  Others recommended dulcolax ahead of time, but my doctor didn't.  Compared to my last experience 10 years ago (Oral Fleet ?, which was taken off the market and disgusting), the last of Prepopik was a pleasure...tasted like Tang.  It was a slow prep, but it did the job!!!"


"I have been on cipralex for 4 weeks now and my doc increased it to 40mg however when I was on 30mg I didn't have as mugh anxiety. I feel the drug has helped more with my depression but my anxiety is still severe. I take lorazepam also twice a day and seroquel at nite to sleep. I'm just hoping it gets better with my anxiety. I also take seroquel 25mg as a prn. I've been told to be patient but it's so hard when you don't feel good."


"I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in my twenties and was on methotrexate and indomethicine as well as occasional prednisone.  While the drug regime helped, my arthritis was continuing to damage joints and was really debilitating.  Going on Enbrel changed everything and gave me a new lease on life.  No symptoms and I'm very active.  I feel like methotrexate took me to 60% and Enbrel did the rest-I have to continue to take both to get the results."


"I Have a cyst along my spine with a messed up disc. The codeine based medicines side effects were terrible. Nucynta  75mg. 3 X day works wonders. I only take it when I do a lot of work which affects my lower back. My wife likes me to take it as I am not as grumpy. Like all medicines some work for certain people and not for others. For me Nucynta and Demoral work best with min. side effects"


"I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes  4 years ago, and had several different brands of tablet medication but had side effects in one form or another. Nothing seemed to control my sugar levels. The last 2 years I had been on metformin 500mg tablets morning and night, with 30 mg of diamicron.  My sugar spiralled up to between 13 & 21 and a burning when urinating. Saw my GP and was given treatment for infection but was to no avail. Doctor saw my various tablet combinations I have had over the years, and recommended me trying Bydureon 2mg weekly injection and it has absolutely changed my life. Been taking for 4 months now, no burning urinating, my sugar now stable, 5.2 & 7.1, lost 20kg, more energy, no side affects at all. To me it's a WONDER drug"


"I was having issues controlling severe PMS/PMDD. Every thing that goes along with PMS to the extreme (depression and irritability) every month like clock work 7-10 days before I would start. I tried everything so I decided to give the birth control pill a shot. I'm on my 6th month and my pms is sooo much better.  It's almost non existent. The one negative I experienced was that the first month I threw up a lot the first day and slowly got better over the next three days, the second and third months I experienced mild nausea and fatigue (flu like). After that the only thing I notice is that every month when I start a new pack the first 5 days I'm extremely fatigued like I've never felt before. Good trade off to get rid of PMS though."


"I suffer severe anxiety disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. These pills (1mg 3x daily) keep me calm enough to not worry about full blown panic attacks all the time. I take this in addition to a mild antidepressant. I take a low dose of Celexa and Buspar with this and it really keeps this under control for me."


"I suffered from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome; similar to an abdominal migraine.  Gastroenterologist prescribed Phenergan suppositories as a prophylaxis.  It prevented the onset of the nausea and vomiting.  Just knowing it is it my refrigerator should I need it has stopped the cycle. "


"Best pain medicine on market for relief for around 5-6 hrs."


"57 year old male. Maintaining an erections was sometimes becoming an issue during intercourse, sometimes being hard to start but then becoming less so.  Issue started to become frustration and so created "vicious circle of anxiety".  Taking 5mg or just 2.5mg of Cialis just 2 hours before intercourse ensures hard erection for full period. Do not take at any other time.  Effect of 5mg lasts for a day or so.  Can lead to slight headache the next morning but nothing else."


"I take BuSpar 10mg capsules. I've been on this medication for about two months now, for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Disorder. This medicine has gotten me through the separation of me and my mother, school phobia (a real thing: kind of a mix between agoraphobia and truancy), and generalized anxiety. I gave it an 8/10 because it takes about a month before the full potential results kick in. Also, it gives a sedative feeling when you take one, which always relaxes me."


"I was on Lexapro 10mg and Abilify 10 mg for about 5 months, and overall it helped with my anxiety. I didn't feel as stressed at work and school, but it kind of made me a zombie. I haven't cried in 5 months, and I hardly feel any emotions. Which I guess is good for people suffering from depression. It completely killed my sex drive so I went to my doctor the other day and switched prescriptions. Currently withdrawing from this medication and it sucks. Getting light-headed and dizzy and vomited a lot the other day."


"Ok, I've used Oxycodone for the last 2 years, when I got in a bad car accident.
I stayed at a hospital for 3 weeks. I was given 30mg Morphine, 2mg Dilaudid, 2mg Ativan, and 50mg Promethazine every 4 hours, IV.
I got sent to a pain management doctor, after talking about what happend, he gave me a script for 10mg Methadone 3x daily, and Oxycodone 30mg for breakthrough pain 4x daily.
From 10/10 pain, with these amazing pain killers, my pain is now just 1/10.
Thank you Methadone, and esp Oxycodone."


"Lifted me out of a mood of despair.  Most importantly, it was the best anger management I ever found.  Clear headed, no anxiety, no side affects other than mild nausea, and that ONLY if I take it on an empty stomach.  Don't miss a dose though, it will make you REALLY woozy.  Stopped for a few months, fell into depression, but Pristiq pulled me right back up when I started back.  Remember that the Rx says specifically that you may need 4 weeks to notice an improvement.  Bear that in mind when you read all these reviews by people who quit taking it after 1 or 2 days."


"Suffering from the disease WED / RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome) around the clock and this medication is the only one who has given relief. And I have tried many other medications before. Takes 10 mg in the morning at 08:00 am and 10mg at 20:00 in the evening. No major side effects either."


"Still feeling the terrible cramps. Has lightened my acne and helped me lose weight."


"I was on Betoptic for years and my pressure was still a bit higher than we wanted it to be. After some trial & error, we've discovered that if I put the Combigan in one eye and the Betoptic in the other, my pressure is better than it's ever been. Around 14 which is unheard of me. It's working great and the only side effect I have is a bit of redness at times."


"I said I would do this if it worked and it did. When I took plan B, it was a day after my period had ended and I knew I was going to be fertile. I took it about 10 hours later and I didn't feel any symptoms. I got my period again 7 days later. I normally have cramps and all that but it was just huge clots and heavy for 5 days, which is shorter than my period. I didn't know if that counted as my real period since it was 3 weeks early, but I got a second period when my normal period was due, only 2 days late. I was so nervous the whole time. I had tender breasts, I was nauseous and I had cramps a week before my period, but worse than they normally are. My second period after that was 3 days late. Plan b messed up your body a ton! Just pray!!"


"I have been on this pill 2 months cons I am sick to my stomach everyday, I throw up at least once a week and pee like every 10mins. I also get headaches towards the end of the day. So I started taking my second pack before I go to sleep to avoid these symptoms no such luck. Pro's barely has a period last month waiting to see this month. I will stick it out for another month, but if nothing changes I'm changing it so far I'm very disappointed I was so excited for this pill"


"After tolerating an increasingly lumpy, sore, raw, dry throat and overall fatigue for about  10 days  I finally went to the doctor. Z-pac and prednisone reduced the symptoms dramatically in 2 days. I didn't realize just how badly I felt.  Taken exactly as prescribed this was certainly the right treatment. It's working."


"Buspar has completely and utterly changed my life. I have struggled with generalized anxiety ever since I was a child, and I've never been able to find a permanent solution. I have taken Xanax and Klonopin, but those are short-acting, and you build resistance to them quickly, and they're habit-forming. Now that I'm on Buspar, I have no anxiety. None. Nada. Zip. No more butterflies in my stomach, no more hyperventilating, no more irrational thoughts. I can fall asleep at night no problem, and wake up in the morning and be excited about my day. It takes a while to start noticing (3 weeks for me), but it's completely worth the wait. I'm finally excited about my future, and I finally feel in control of my life."


"I've been on Rytary since 2015 and at times was on 5 pills 4 x a  day of the 48.75-195 dosage. Partial neuroleptic seizures were a result, mild psychosis, paranoia, anxiety, mood swings, depression, dyskenisia dystonia, impulse control, sleeplesness, among others, all things I've dealt with at some point along the way. I'm now on 3 pills 5 times a day. With a small dose of 2mg artane in between 4 x a day. I have not been able to really lock down whatever makes it work. It is wildly inconsistent but when it's on it's on, and I  get some normal time. Certain strains of medical marijuana help increase the efficacy of this drug. Kicks in sooner and can give me up to 6-7 hours of normal time. Instead of 1hr to kick in and 1-2 hrs normal time."


"I was put on Tri Sprintec when I started getting my periods every two weeks, and was on it for three months. It fixed my period problem, but I had never had a problem with acne until starting this. My acne got so much worse and would clear up instantly once I started the sugar pills. I went from a D to a DD which is kind of annoying but I didn't gain much weight at least. The worst part, however, was the tenderness in my breasts, it was horrible. Painful to the touch, running or going to the gym was horribly uncomfortable. Just like the acne, during the fourth week on sugar pills the pain disappeared only to return again with a new pack. "


"Try it. It worked wonders for me in less than a week. I am a Tinea Versicolor and SD long time sufferer. All Azole antifungals are no match to Terbinafine HCl cream. "


"Truly the only thing (bar Mirtazapine at one point) that has ever worked for my severe (sometimes up 1-2 entire nights in a row) and chronic insomnia (nearly a decade). It doesn't make me as drowsy in the morning as Mirtazapine which is great because then I can have a more normal sleeping pattern. I do have some really weird kind of scary side effects including minor hallucinations (like stuff moving round the room, person on a poster looked like they were dancing, face shapes in curtains swaying etc.) and feeling a bit high. However, even with these side effects it is still worth it if nothing else has worked."


"Great"


"I started taking the Depo shot when I was 17, however it did help effectively with me not getting pregnant, and I did not have any periods for four years, but it caused me to have crazy mood swings, insane depression, and made me feel down all the time. I switched to the birth control pill now that I'm 20 and I don't feel like I'm going completely crazy now! So I do not recommend this birth control at ALL!"


"I Have only taken my Ativan 3 times in the past month that I have had it. I really try to take it only on the times I can't control my anxiety and can not work because of it. I am so against taking medication including this one but the second and third time I took it I was happy I did. It allows me to function and get through the day feeling good. It really does take the edge off and also calms my heart rate,  As it usually is always beating faster throughout the day just from being anxious. Even though I still get paranoid about having to Take this medication when I really need it , I end up being glad I did. It works! I personally have no side effects either from this med."


"Excellent "


"It worked like magic on my urinary tract infection. It is great and I didn't have any side effects."


"this is the first one i found that works i been on alot of muscle relaxers"


"Great for migraine. Haven't found anything better than it so far except Stadol, Demerol or Nubain, which we all know no one can function daily on those other meds."


"I am 20 years old and on my second month of taking Sprintec. The older I get the more and more irregular my periods have become. I would have absolutely no idea when they were coming, and when they did I would be in horrible pain and would vomit profusely. After 1 month of taking Sprintec, I was really pleasantly surprised to find my period arrive exactly on time, with no vomiting! The discharge was a bit...thicker..than usual, but the length was fine. I did experience probably the worst mood swings of my life, and strangely enough, my upper thighs have been breaking out in pimples, which I didn't correlate to my birth control until reading other comments. However, these are minor complaints."


"Ok my wife has been on this zobsolv for over a week now. At first it seemed, to help her yesterday she woke up with a rash on her lower arms. She has gotten really depressed her anxiety has gone thru the roof she snaps back at the slightest things. It is not helping  with her cravings, its seems the longer she takes it the further my wife becomes a different person she was doing pain pills. I'm starting to think it was better she stayed on the pain pills. Has anyone else heard of anything like this before I'm at a lost for words and idk what i need to do or what to do at this point other than start cutting her dosages down and ween her of this garbage......"


"I have been living with chronic neck, back and migraine pain for several years now.  In the beginning, my doctors had me go to physical therapy, take ibuprofen, or aspirin.  None of these things ever really helped.  After trying Flexeril and numerous anti-inflammatories, my pain management doctor did an MRI and found that among the many tension knots and twisting of my spine, I had bulging disks in my neck.  He gave me Zanaflex to take at night.  It knocks me out within 20 minutes but helps relax my back and neck so that I can get restful sleep - been on it for 3 months now!  I highly recommend it for continuous back pain and it's even helped with my migraines.  Be ready for bed though - very powerful!"


"Severe runner's knee. Very effective drug, works well enough to take the edge off. Still can feel pain but very manageable"


"I've been using this pill for 3 months. It's been great! Only side effects I've experienced are the VERY RARE bad headaches. Haven't had any weight gain, bloating or anything. I was really nervous about taking birth control but it's been a really good experience! Try it out and see if it fits your body well. I like it."


"I was on the pill for 4 years and I had extreme anxiety and headaches. I switched to nuvaring and feel great. A lot less headaches, no anxiety. I haven't gained any weight that I've noticed, my sex drive is still very high. I might be a little more snippy, and I have had issues with yeast infections. It's only been two months so I'm gonna keep watching my weight and will update shortly."


"Insomnia is one of the tag alongs with my Bi Polar. My doctor prescribed every medication on my Group Health formulary to no avail. I either had radical side effects or they only worked for 2 to 3 hours. Ambien CR is a blessing. I actually now get at least 5 to 6 hrs of sleep a night. For those of you with Bi Polar, you understand sleep is crucial to preventing mood swings. The only problem I have experienced is Ambien tends to build up and quit working every so often so I have clonazapam to use for a few days until the tolerance wears off. Thank God for Ambien CR."


"I have been on Chantix for 5 weeks now and smoke free for 4 of the 5 weeks. I was skeptical about the side effects but was more scared about what it would be like as a non-smoking adult. What would I do with the extra time? How would I handle stressful situations? Well... I handle life just fine, if not better, as a non-smoker! I had a few slight side effects such as a bit of nausea and a mild headache the first couple of days but otherwise I am extremely happy with the results. I continued smoking as normal for the first week. However, as the week continued I noticed that each cigarette I had started tasting worse and worse. By the sixth day, they were actually making me nauseous. I quit on the seventh day. The only time I have any urges is when I have a few (or more.......) alcoholic drinks but have managed to work through them without lighting up. It's been so awesome being able to breathe easier, smell better, sleep more soundly, less snoring (according to my wife), no more constant coughing, and overall, more energy. I now love being a non-smoker!"


"Hello! I have been through a whole lot. I done so many stupid things in my life like shooting up and doing oxy and Xanax and herion and cocaine. I would do anything to get me high because I went through a divorce several years ago and lost my child due to taking pills. I lived by myself and started to take methadone and thought that I was doing the right thing but, I was not. I ended up on 240 mgs a day of methadone and my life just got worst. I would mix the drug with Xanax and weed. Finally, I figured out that this was not for me. I called my mom on the phone and cried and cried and told her what I had been hiding. Living by myself and staying to myself was not good. Suboxone has changed my life and I know see the light."


"Got my Liletta inserted today 06/15/17 which happens to be the last day of my period. I will tell u that I went into this without ANY type of meds and the insertion was awesome. I did feel a slight pinch a couple times that felt like a cramp but honestly I barely noticed it. I was told the cervix is more dilated when on your period and is the best time to get an IUD..FYI. I did spot and bleed for about an hour after I had it done minimal cramps tho. Overall this has been way better than I expected. I hope it all continues to be a breeze. I'll let u know in a couple months"


"I suffered from diverticulitis 15yrs ago. Had to have part of my sigmoid colon removed after it perforated, almost died from the infection.Things went well for 7yrs, until I had to have surgery again because of blockage due to stomach adhesions. Which they say is typical after that kind of  surgery. In each of these incidents I was unable to poop and my stomach grew to the size of 2 watermelons! It was so painful. Well it happened again!  I couldn't pass anything but a few hard marbles for 2wks! The pain and gas were horrible! I tried everything, Senokot, prunes, etc. I was getting really scared that what was left of my colon would explode and I would die! I took a dose of MOM and walla It worked!
Be near a toilet for several hrs though!"


"After 15 years of Prostate Problems many Biopsies. PSA 139 had acute Urinary Retention and Catherised (not getting Catheter in, bleeding. Put on Duodart slight Improvement, nocturnal from ten times to about 4 to 5 times, very dizzy."


"Makes me shakey."


"I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for one month. I had bad PMS this month and started me period a week early. I still have four pills to finish. No other side effects."


"Only drug to make me feel alright.  "


"I actually posted on here awhile back when I first started taking Lexapro. I have now been on 10 mg/day for four months. It definitely has cured my depression and irritability, but I always feel fatigued and I can't seem to lose the belly fat I acquired since being on Lexapro. My doctor insists this doesnot affect your metabolism or cause weight gain, BUT I am eating less (and better) than ever before, and exercising, and I can't lose any weight, where before, I could lose it pretty quickly with diet and exercise. I guess I'm not really sure if it's the Lexapro or not, but I do feel tired and bloated all the time. I am a really small person (4'11") and the belly fat really shows. Not sure what to do."


"It does what it says, so 3 stars. If you like orange oil coming out your butt, missing work, and fryer grease farts, then you'll like Alli. I'm thinking, if you don't have a lot of fat in your food, then it might be tolerable, but I'm not willing to find out. "


"I used Monistot 1 a long time ago and it was a burning hell right away till I pulled the damn thing out and try to wash myself out as much as I could. Well today I used a CVS brand of the same medicine thinking that it would be less strong. I got an allergic reaction to antibiotic and didn't want to go to the doctor. Well after the first 30 min it was fine and I was relieved thinking that this is it, but NO. It burns, it itches, it's gone so I can't pull it out anymore. The cream doesn't make a difference. It's been one hour and 600mg of ibuprofen and I'm still hoping for the better. Girls please don't buy it. Spare yourself the experience.... I have no idea what they test it on but it's not humans."


"I have suffered with atopic dermatitis (moderate-severe) for 10 years. The inflammation and itchiness has been non-stop. My skin has been red and inflamed on my face, neck, arms, hands, and most of my body. Often, my skin has become so damaged from itching and scratching that various regions of my skin have split, such as my eyelids, neck, and knuckles.

I HAVE USED EPICERAM FOR 1 WEEK AND ALL THE REDNESS HAS NEARLY CLEARED UP AND THERE ARE NO SPLITS AT ALL. I FEEL GREAT!!

I can sleep comfortably.
I can shower without the pain of water stinging my damaged skin.
I can exercise again without sweat causing burning.

I highly recommend this cream."


"Lexapro 10mg helped me SO much. In June of 2016, my dad passed away unexpectedly. I'm 24 and a female. My life was turned upside down and I could not deal. I was a "normal" person w/o anxiety before this now I was experiencing chronic anxiety-panic attacks, mind racing, feelings of derealization, etc..It was chronic. I couldn't go to work and could barely even leave the house without having crippling anxiety. I tapered up from 5mg to 10mg over a few months and it literally saved me. I still had a few symptoms but nothing any different than just every day mild anxiety. It felt liberating. Lexapro 10mg saved my life."


"At least for my body, this pill was horrible. I read so many great reviews on having light cramps and moods are fine and no swelling but this pill has done complete opposite for me. My hands have shown signs of swelling lately, my moods are beyond horrible and scary, and my cramps have been bad. Looking to switch pills here soon."


"I had anxiety symptoms such as dreading work daily, and physical symptoms such  as lack of energy and almost a  dizziness feeling that would start a few hours into my day and continue until I was home relaxing. This medicine has improved mostly all of my symptoms, except for the occasion day that is very stressful. I would recommend to anyone, and cannot imagine going off any time soon. Hope this helps someone else."


"This medicine worked for the first 4 months, but then my anxiety suddenly got worse that Buspar doesn't help!"


"Works better than a pill every 6 hours."


"I switched to this after taking Midrin for some time.  This works more quickly, has very little side effect, and all around is better.  It works for about 95% of my migraines.  Sometimes 1 pill and 1 OTC is enough, sometimes 2 pills are needed, and on rare occasion, 3 are necessary.  I've never had a migraine that couldn't be killed given enough Fioricet."


"I thought this birth control would be the perfect fit for me since I always forgot to take the pill. I had it inserted in October 2014. Since then I have already gained 20 pounds. Nothing about my life or the way I eat has changed so I knew it was the Implanon. When it was first put in my arm was bruised for a week and very sensitive to touch. I have had very clear skin before using this and my face has begun to break out. I'm only 20 so I'm very insecure to go to the beach this summer with my face and body looking like this. Also my sex drive has gone down tremendously. Which is hurting my relationship. The only plus side is not having a period at all. I would spot here and there in the beginning but it went away and I do not spot anymore."


"Excellent medication for anxiety that my Psychiatrist prescribed to me. Also, helps my depression."


"I had it inserted in early May. 5 weeks after giving birth to twins by C-section but dilated a full 10cm. Insertion wasn't painful at all. Bleeding heavily for a week after it being put in, after that I've been spotting ever since. I have horrible cramps that feel like light labor pains. Trying to give my body a chance to adjust to it & also looking at other options in case it needs to be removed!"


"I've been on Savella for about a month now. Started with the titration pack. Felt relief within a few days. Pain is not gone, but certainly diminished to a point where I feel somewhat normal. Doesn't help with neuropahty, but does lower muscle pain. I have had muscle cramps/spasms in my legs at night, some slight constipation, and now some headaches have started the past couple of days, but I am so grateful for this medicine. Some days I feel that I don't need to use my handicap plaque! I previously used Salsalate, which helped, but nowhere near as good as Savella. I wish the price would come down. But I'm on it happily!"


"I was switching from pill to patch, and our nurse practitioner wanted me to wait until my next period to start the patch. (Wrong Advice) My husband and I had been very careful using the pill and condoms because we had been to Jamaica for our honeymoon and was concerned about the Zika virus. However, as newlyweds, we were anxious to have unprotected. We decided to use plan B, knowing it's 95% effective rate if taken within 24 hrs. I had only recently stopped taking the pill, so I figured my fertility wouldn't return that fast but to be safe, we took plan B within 24 hours. The next morning my mother called and said she had a dream I was pregnant. She was right because now I am three months pregnant."


"My doctor tried me on this when it first came out. I'm unusually sensitive to medications so we started at 5mg/day. It worked great for about a week. Side effects of nausea, blurry vision,dizziness and itching were bothersome but manageable. We then upped it to 10mg a day. Again, it worked for about a week and then stopped. The nausea was horrible. I was taking it at bedtime with a small snack and Zofran (for nausea) and it still made me sick. I would wake up nauseous & to my feet/ankles itching intensely. Benedryl or other allergy meds would not help. It would last about an hour and then go away...until the next morning. Had to stop after 2 months from the horrible side effects. By that time it had no effect on the depression whatsoever."


"Hadn't had a bowel movement in 3 days (I usually go once in the morning so this was abnormal for me) and had pain in my stomach. Doctor prescribed Dulcolax. I read the reviews on here and was a bit apprehensive. Nevertheless, I took it as prescribed. One 5mg tablet before bed with a full glass of water. I woke up about 9 hours later with that feeling like I had to go - and I did! This is a good medication, I only experienced some slight cramping after I went. 2 days later and my bowels are back to normal. Thank you Dulcolax!"


"My husband has degenerative disc disease. He has had a two level spinal fusion on his L5 and S1 discs as well as two rods and six screws of hardware in his spine. He was only 27 years old when this injury happened. I totally feel for anyone who has to suffer from back pain. It changed his life forever. Normal activities that people take for granted everyday were almost impossible for him to do. He's been through numerous doctors and has tried every pain medication out there. He now takes 30mg roxicodone 6 times a day. It has totally been a lifesaver for him and given him his quality of life back. He still has some pain and bad days but nothing like before. "


"Hey everyone! Today is day 5 of being on the medicine. I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and as a result, I am overweight and it is very difficult to lose due to excess Testosterone in my body. That being said - I am 5'2 and was 230 lbs in April 2015. I went Vegan for 4 months and I lost about 18 lbs with intense exercise 3x week. As of June 5th I was 212 and then down to 202 in October.
I was put on Metformin in October to help with weight loss but since then I am only down to 197. The doctor decided to take me off that and try this.
I am very used to stimulants and caffeine so the jitters don't really affect me.
No other side effects as of yet.
I will update further along with a new weight.
So far, I am happy with the switch."


"This is a zombie drug."


"My High Blood Pressure started getting bad in the last year Dr. tried 2 different Meds and they almost killed me. But I was desperate to feel better and tried again Dr. gave me Carvedilol 6.25mg BID the first dose made me dizzy for about 45 Min. the 2nd dose did Nothing ! Next day Nothing again still felt, weak, shaky, dizzy, ED, NO motivation, Sleeping way to much. Day 3 (Without Doctors permission) I Doubled dose to 12.5 mg BID (Twice Daily) And Wow BP Dropped from 185/112 to 124/78 after one hour, and I feel like Im 35 again happy, strong, active, and my girlfriend is very happy if you know what I mean. Dizziness is gone and so far (1 Month) I have not noticed any side effects. It really helped me !"


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


"So far so good!  4 days on the low dose.  4 pounds lost.  No side effects.

Only exercise in the 4 days was 1 hour weight lifting, 1 hour stretching.

Calories about 1200-1300 per day.

I am a 52 year old, 5'7" tall female.  Start weight 184.  Goal weight 145.  I have high blood pressure.

Will post again in a few more days; wanted to share my initial excitement!

My insurance does not cover this drug, but the initial dose was free with manufacturer's coupon."


"I can exercise now in less pain.  Make sure you get the correct dosage that you feel comfortable with. If you take too little of a dosage, you may still have pain and lose hope in the medicine. It happened to me. I ended up doubling my dosage from 300mg to 600mg a day and feel so much better. I take 300mg twice a day as needed. I was originally on 100mg a day and it did nothing for me. Most people start off with 300mg."


"Absolutely amazing! Since I have used this medicine my face has cleared up in less than a month! I had a lot of bumps on my forehead and pimples and my face including cheeks. I also feel that it is helping with my acne scars. I really hoped this helped and that more people can live with clear skin:)"


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


"I was on 150mg then the doctor increased my dose too 300mg. Now I feel like my brain was left at Walmart while my body went home. I hope it gets better."


"This medicine did nothing except constipated me and give me a headache!"


"Chantix worked great for trying to quit smoking, up until the time you stop taking it. That's when I really noticed the depression. That was 3 years ago. Since than I started smoking and have attempted to quit again using chantix, now the depression and suicidal thoughts start after about day 3. I have done this trial about 5 times because I thought maybe the depression came because I was already depressed and it just intensified it, but after 5 times I am 100% convinced it's the medicine.

Please be careful when taking this medication. Have someone you trust keep a watchful eye on your moods, sometimes your mood will change gradually and may not be evident the toll the medicine is taking. Watch for sadness, isolation, anger/rage suicide"


"I am currently using wellbutrin xl (150mg) a day as an add on to trintellix. I have been on every medication under the sun & always seem to have negative side effects. My biggest struggle with my depression is fatigue & no energy. I've only been on wellbutrin 5 days & I feel a tremendous difference. I am awake in the morning & don't feel like I am going to fall asleep at random times during the day. I also haven't taken a nap in 5 days either which is huge considering I always nap. I am a little anxious sometimes & am also dealing with sleeping issues so I may talk to my Dr about switching to the SR. I am also dealing with a lot of muscle spams but this always happens when I adjust a dose or try a new medication. Wish I tried this sooner!"


"Seroquel for depression isn't heard of much.  I'm on it, and yes at first it was horrible. Head spins and just like motion sickness. But I was advised to stick it out and did. Approx 6 weeks it settled down. I take it for BiPolar, the racing mind, no sleep or little sleep. With Seroquel, I sleep a nights rest. My mind isn't active at all. I'm on 300mg. A bit tired of a morning, but if you are up early, which can be hard, the effects wear off, sooner. I won't swap to any other, I tried Zyprexa but, I'm sticking with Seroquel."


"I'm on third week of taking it. My doctor said it wouldn't really work until 4th week, but for me it has already greatly reduced the compulsion to eat. I'm eating less often and way smaller amounts. Had same experience mentioned by previous poster- vomited after eating a fatty food (fried taquitos.)  Only other side effect I have had is a lot more dreams while sleeping."


"Had a BCC on my leg and used the cream successfully for 6 weeks. Cancer is gone. Starting it again for one above my mouth and was instructed to spread the cream across entire area between nose and mouth. 6-7 spots lit up with sores including one on lower lip. But the real problem for me is that I got the side effect of a cough deep in my lungs. On antibiotics for that which isn't working because I guess it's not a bacterial infection. I completed 3 of the 6 weeks and am going to stop to get rid of the cough before it develops into pneumonia."


"IT WORKS, I am 21. You may have hair fall at the starting stage but it may be a good sign because you are gaining new hair strands losing the older one. I saw the improvement within 3 weeks, I was losing less hair than before.
Just apply twice a day, remember don't let it spread over parts other than your scalp. Apply before about 2 hours before you go to bed at night, let your scalp dry first. Shampoo before you apply (not every time) and let it dry. And it will work best then. But get familiar with it's side effects too. I don't know about others but yes I am developing dark circles around my eyes since the day I started applying it."


"I started taking Bactrim 2 days ago for bladder infection and it is terrible because I feel like I have the flu... body aches, headache, nausea. ..I just called the doctor to tell her I'm not taking any more.. the bladder infection is nothing compared to the way this med made me feel!!! It seems like it has been cut  with some sort if poison before it gets to the US!!! I just hope I regain strength bc I feel so weak from the pain my body has been through!!!"


"Yasmin is a life saver. I would honestly recommend it to anyone with persistent acne. My acne came back when I was 20 after my skin had been completely clear since I was around 16. My GP didn't feel like it was severe enough to put me on strong medication again like I was during my teen years so he prescribed me Yasmin. I have been taking yasmin now for around 8 months and my acne is completely gone.  I stopped taking it at one point for about a month because I was away and unable to get a prescription and my break outs started to come back which definitely proved to me that Yasmin actually works. I still get the odd spot here and there but they are always small and easy to get rid of I no longer get cystic spots at all !!"


"I have been on Opana about three weeks now for severe, chronic pain. I used to be on 60mg of Oxy-Contin and I took the first dose prior to getting ready to leave for work, after that I would spend the next 10-20 minutes vomiting. Opana doesn't do that to me in a 20mg dose and I find the pain relief much more lasting and comfortable.  The only medicine I ever took better than Opana for chronic pain relief was the once a day ,now defunct Pallodan."


"I was on Arthrotec for about 2 years and found it to be a great drug, but now have had to go off it because of risk of kidney damage and cannot take any more NSAIDs.  I have been put on Plaquenil and while waiting for it to kick in, have also been put on Prednisone, which has helped tremendously.  Hope the Plaquenil will soon work so I can get off the Prednisone."


"I’m almost done with my second month of Yaz and it has been really tough. I was put on birth control for PCOS as a way to regulate my hormones and period. Both months about three weeks into the pack I get headaches, nausea, upper stomach cramps, exhaustion, throwing up, extremely sensitive breasts, horrible uterine cramps, sporadic facial hair growth (I have facial hair due to PCOS and I was hoping yaz would reduce it but it seems to make it grow faster during certain times of the month), and a terrible liquid yellow diarrhea (tmi I know). I’m trying to stick it out but honestly I don’t even know if this pill is helping with my hormone but we’ll see."


"It has been a big help since I suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness. I have had surgery for apnea and do shift work."


"Paxil has worked wonderfully for me. I now have a life due to it. I no longer feel like I'm being attacked by the world, so I no longer attack back. I finally have a life and I am finally happy with myself as well."


"Have only been taking Lisinopril for two weeks and while it lowered my blood pressure right away, I couldn't stand the coughing.  I'm glad that I knew from research that the coughing was a side effect of the drug.  I called my doctor today and she changed me over to Norvasc - I hope it works as well as the Lisinopril did, minus the coughing."


"Ala-Quin worked on day 1. I had a itchy rash in the groin area. The first night of use was the first night I did not wake up scratching so much that I drew blood.

The only problem is that it stains every thing.  It turns every thing it touches a light yellow-tan color. On day two when I awoke my underwear (jockey shorts) looked like I had not changed them in a month. I was horrified. The stuff would not wash out. I ended up bleaching the daylights out of them. That helped but the shorts were still very dingy looking.

My wife finally suggested that I use, wash and reuse the same 3 or 4 pair of shorts and when the treatment was over just discard the ugly, stained shorts. So that is what I am doing."


"I've been taking plegridy for the past 6 months. I used to take Avonex but for me plegridy is much better since I've to take it every 2 weeks and doesn't make me feel sick or with fever."


"I started phen on 5-28-15 at 188lbs I was at risk for high BP and cholesterol. So I asked my Dr to prescribe it. Well my 30 day check up I weighed in at 174 a 14lb loss yippy. Just ended my 2nd month at 164. It works good luck to everyone."


"This is more of an update. Been on this for a full 3 months now, about to go on my 4th. I've always had terrible periods  (cramps, heaviness, fatigue, moodiness) so I was hoping the pill could relieve some of those symptoms. So far, I've found all of the pills I've tried so far (loestrin fe, junel, yasmin) haven't done a whole lot to rid of these symptoms. Apri is the same. Although my period is more predictable and more manageable in terms of pain, my 2nd and 3rd day of period is still very heavy and I still cramp a whole lot on the 2nd day. Made my skin clearer, and no problems of weight gain either. I also am not as moody as I was on yasmin. And no pregnancies yet, although a couple of scares since this pill can mimic pregnancy symptoms."


"I have extensive AK on my face & chest and have had 5 Basal Cell & 1 Pre Melanoma lesions removed via surgery.
Because of the extensive AK & my history - my Derm tried Blue Light (Levulan). I only made it 8 minutes & had 2nd Degree burns.  Due to my reaction my Mohs Surgeon recommended Carac in a modified application as I am in sales.
I use the cream 7 days then am off 3-4 wks. I plan by time of year & my schedule as you can't be in the sun.  The Carac cream has been AMAZING!! I put it on before bed.  I documented my reaction and have found that about Day 6 I can see red trouble spots, Day 7/8 itching, Day 10 scabbing. Overall my AK has diminished by 80% after 4 cycles since last spring. I took summer/fall off."


"So far so good."


"So I've only been on this a few weeks, but it makes me feel awful. My cholesterol is very high, and I haven't been retested yet (a few more weeks)  but I want to sleep all day, I feel off (kind of dizzy and nauseated) I get majorly constipated to the point that I can't go for a few days, which is very unusual for me. When I lay down or sit up (not even fast) the ceiling spins as if I were drunk.  I took it upon myself to cut it in half and take it every other day instead. That is better, but I still feel off and worse on the mornings after I take it.   My dose was 20mg a day.  As far as diet and exercise, that's out because I can barely wake up, and have NO energy. Once I do get up and do things, I want to pass out or vomit."


"Well, should have googled first! I've used this in the past with no problem but after an hour I'm still sitting with some frozen peas on my vajay. "


"I began taking venaflaxine to help cope with diabetic issues when diagnosed with Type II.  I do think it helps control anxiety and anger control. It certainly causes some side effects. Dizziness and light-headedness for me are the worst. Particularly if I let too much time elapse before taking the daily dose of 75 mg it does cause blurred vision intermittently and nausea if I turn my head too quickly. I also can no longer lie on my back and change oil or work on things while lying down without immediate nausea. I have soaked the sheet and pillow many times as well.  Been on the medication for 3 years."


"I am 26 and in a monogamous relationship. I am on Mononessa strictly for contraceptive purposes. I am bipolar and can become unstable on certain types of birth control and antibiotics. In the first 2-3 weeks I was very tired all the time. But since then the side effect is no longer an issue. I just finished my second pack and am doing well."


"I'm just trying Trinessa for the first time and I absolutely hate it. Every day there's a point to where I'm very nauseated. . Feel depressed and just so sick.. yeah it shortened my period by 2 days but I just hate feeling like this everyday...it may work well for others...just my experience."


"I have had depression episodes all my life and had never been medicated. Three years ago, I had a huge burnout and finally opted for meds. I have tried Celexa, Effexor, Abilify & Cipralex. All of them helped to some extent but not to completely stop the depression in the long term. My psychiatrist recommended Lamotrigine. I had seen on this site so many positive reviews that I decided to try it. Like many others, it has been a miracle drug for me. I have been on it for 3 months now and aside for 2 or 3 small bumps on the road, I feel great! Except for dry mouth (not that bad), I have had no side effects. Don't give up! Good luck :-)"


"I have been diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Hypochondria (Illness anxiety Disorder), an Eating Disorder, and Depression. All of the others stemmed mostly from the Panic Disorder. I was suffering so much that I could not function and became extremely agoraphobic to where I did not want to leave my room. I was scared to take medicine but it got to the point one day where I couldn't take it anymore and decided to give the Xanax my doctor gave me a try. It helped so much and I was finally able to calm down enough to think clearly. I got on Zoloft and continued taking Xanax until my anxiety and depression was manageable. Now I only need it every once in a while when the anxiety and obsessive thoughts get bad. Definitely helped me get on my feet."


"This medication does not work.  I have no idea why my doctor suggested it when Viagra and Cialis was great in the past.  Even got prescribed the high dose 200's and hours after taking no effect at all.  So I took another 200 and absolutely nothing at all.  Nothing at all.  This drug only left me feeling a bit dizzy and my heart rate increased.  No libido effect at all, nothing.  Viagra kicks in within an hour and peaks in 2.  This Stendra does nothing and I want my money back from my appointment and the cost of the script!!!!!"


"Too strong for me; slept for 10+ hours and felt groggy for most of the next day when I took it.  Is worth a try if you suffer from severe insomnia- because in that regard, it did work."
