"I am a 25 year old female. I have been constipated since I was a baby and nobody knew why. I always had to strain to go to the bathroom. As a matter of fact I had to mentally prepare. I had to focus on my breathing to try to cope with the pain and fear of going to the bathroom. Sometimes it would take me 2 hours for nothing. I have used Amitiza for 18 months now AND IF THEY EVER TOOK IT AWAY I WOULD START A RIOT. I go to the bathroom about 4 times a week. No pain,no strain, and its soft and not hard.  My stomach is so much flatter. I can see I actually have a shape. I lost 10 pounds of waste the first 2 weeks. I feel lighter and happy. Going to the bathroom is a breeze. Sometimes I get nausea. But the cons are light compared to the pro."


"I hardly have any side effects (day4/5). One positive effect is that I am much more happy.  Not sure what or why. I did have a headache tonight and I felt kind of like I am withdrawing from caffeine.  (I don't drink coffee)
Only one occasion of constipation a few days ago but ate a lot of fiber to take care of this.  Urine is darker than normal in the morning & that's with same amount of water a day, average 4 pint glasses per day.
This drug seems to have weakened parasite in gut, can't wait to get the other meds. I sleep well and no other side effects.  Maybe some subtle balance problems when walking."


"I have experienced awful side effects. Nausea, dizzy, dried out sinuses, nose bleeds, lightheadedness, and migraines like no other. Did help with allergies but not worth it!"


"I was told that anti-anxiety meds take a while to kick in but I feel like this one has kicked in sooner than I thought it would. I only take 20mg for anxiety and overall I have started to feel a lot more positive and less stressed out about things I usually stress out about. I haven't noticed any side effects besides my stomach feeling a little off the first week and lately I have not been as hungry as I usually am and get full alot faster....but I wake up in the morning starving. Weird but no headaches or trouble sleeping or anything! I hope I can continue to take this medicine because it does seem to keep me "level" with my emotions."


"I suffer with post traumatic stress disorder from years of trauma and then the death of my mother really was the icing on the cake. I've also been dealing with physical ailments in the past 7 years, and panic attacks since I could remember. With all this going on, it's no wonder that I've became depressed and anxious about life. I am not the type of person who believes in medication without trying alternatives first. In the past I've tried other antidepressants to no avail. Was off of them for a year, but decided to go back on, trying Zoloft this time, when I became suicidal. That was the LAST straw. Been on 50mg for about a month, but started on 25mg a month prior. It LITERALLY saved my life. Don't give up! What one medication won't do for you another will."


"I had many side effects- including, hot flashes, confusion, stomach problems, vaginal dryness, tired easily and bone weakening.  On the bright side-I have had no recurrence and it is now 12 years since my diagnosis with lymph node involvement."


"Lortab helps me get to sleep in 20 to 40 minutes. Otherwise it takes me 3 to 4 hours."


"I finished the treatment and I did quit smoking. I smoked for 32 years ,1 and a half to 2 packs a day however you have wild dreams and stomach pain. Even a couple of time when I took it after I woke up, I had dry heaves, but it does what it says."


"Works great. Took away the voices I was hearing. I don't really experience side effects."


"Has anyone had hand and body tremors with Bydureon?  My sugars are back in the normal range.  I've lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks.  I'm having tremors to the point where it's hard to hold a cup to my mouth to take a drink."


"I am 14 and I have been diagnosed with arthritis. Enbrel helped me for about a month or so but recently I have started feeling the pain again. I cannot get out of bed in the morning anymore. When I take the injections it hurts really bad. "


"I am 30yrs old. I have been taking Klonopin for 6 years, for severe anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and bipolar disorder. Since I have been taking it for so long I have gotten a little immune to it. I started taking 0.5mg today I use 2mg 3x daily. When I first started taking it the effects were very strong. So I recommend you start at a lower dose. This medicine has been a life changer for me because now I finally feel like  human. I have 2 small kids to look after and with this medicine I can function better in my daily life."


"I was originally on The Depo shot and I was on my period for the last 3 months I was on depo. I stopped depo for a month so I could switch to Nexplanon but that didn't mean my period stopped. I had heard great reviews from a coworker I really trust so I decided to give it a try. I've had my Nexplanon since June... And been on my period ever since! I thought it would be a good change for me so I could reverse what the depo did but my period has been on full blast ever since... I know everyone's body is different but my experience has made me not want to recommend Nexplanon to anyone."


"I've been on this medicine almost a month. In the beginning the side effects were absolutely horrible! I couldn't sleep at night and I could barely hold my head up during the day. My head was foggy and I had trouble finding the words I needed sometimes. I felt like I had the Flu without the runny/stuffy nose. It also causes constipation. I had read several reviews and saw a couple comments about how the side effects would die down after a few weeks. I was determined to push through Now my head isn't  as foggy. I'm no where near as tired during the day. I take one melatonin gummy at night just to be sure I get a good nights rest. The constipation hasn't went away but I am only eating half of what I was."


"I have been on Apri since December 2008 when my daughter was 6 weeks old.  At 1st I loved this pill.  My periods came on time, weren't painful at all, really light and lasted 2-3 days.  In the last year or so, my period has become very heavy, lasting 4-5 days with cramping for at least 4 days. I am miserable! After I had my daughter I had lost 50 lbs, but I have gained that and probably plus some back. I have NO sex drive what so ever, which is affecting my relationship with my almost husband (in 5 weeks!) I go to my Doctor next week to see about switching to a non hormonal IUD.  I have seen successful stories with Apri, but I don't think this pill is for everyone."


"I'm a Canadian living in Mexico.  After picking mangoes, I contracted a fungal skin infection called sporotrichosis.  Got it diagnosed about a week after the symptoms started.  I now have been taking itraconazole for just over a week.  My dose is 400 mg a day, or two capsules twice a day.  I'm happy with the results so far.  Its a little slow to work, but it is definitely working.  The skin lesions are healing and its not spreading to any more areas of the body.  I know I'm gonna have to stick it out for a while with this medicine, but it is effective.  The only thing is I've missed my period this week.  I read another comment of a woman who said she didn't get hers for three months, so I imagine I'm gonna be in the same boat."


"I've had a great experience with Differin gel. I was prescribed Differin for acne that got worse as an adult. When I was 31, the acne was so severe that I felt like a teenager.

The first week was hard. My skin was very dry to the point where flakes would fall off when I touched my face. I used moisturizer in the morning, and would still flake all day. After about a week, the dryness completely went away. I've been using this product for a few weeks now and have seen a HUGE difference in my skin. My acne is clearing up, and my skin has a smoothness that it has never had before. My skin is combination/oily, and it feels a little oilier now. I'm okay with that - with the smoothness of my skin, it looks dewy and clear."


"I started Contrave three months ago, and haven't lost an ounce. I am recovering from a major surgery in June, and quit smoking in May. I actually think my appetite and cravings are worse. And my biggest problem was not eating enough. Am I the only one? I would like to give it another month or two. But I'm so frustrated."


"Lantus is great, but am going to try Levemir as their delivery system looks better.  Lanus Solostar is fine for strong, large handed people, but if you have arthritis or are older, it is a chore to deliver - its too hard to push and too big to stretch your hand to insure it doesn't slip."


"I have extreme abdominal pain that no doctor can figure out why? Opana ER works wonders. I would HIGHLY recommend this medicine to anyone suffering with pain.  "


"I was on invokana, 300 mg, for about 2 years.  At first, made me sick,minor weight loss, then improved.  My a1c gradually went down. Lowest I got to was 6.9, with constant yeast infection.  Unfortunately, in March 2015 had a mild heart attack and had to have 2 stents in one artery.  My cardiologist was was extremely surprised, as on the onset of invokana, arteries were clear and
 wished he had mine... after invokana when heart attack happened, said hard to believe, what happened, as artery should have never have clogged the way it did in 2 years. I blame all on invokana, but hard to prove.  Never took again. Needless to say blood sugars dropped after, and have just started to go up now. dr put me on jardiance, haven't started yet will try to do on my own "


"Was using generic clopidogrel and after having nose bleeds etc. Am now back on Plavix and have had no problems since.  Will continue to use Plavix.  I now receive the Plavix brand thanks to the card I received from the company."


"Took it for 3 weeks. Reduced my blood pressure in a day. Made my ears ring until I couldn't stand it. Also was very congested. My doctor took me off of it"


"1 Maxalt malt usually starts working in 30 to 45 minutes for me. Within an hour I'm able to continue my day. I have very frequent migraines and have used Maxalt for many years. No real side effects except a bit of drowsiness.
And it is very expensive. Insurance does not cover the whole cost."


"I have noticed that my dose of 1mg every 4 to 6 hours worked for a week or so before needed to increase my dose. I have colorectal cancer and have been it using for anxiety.

   "


"HORRIBLE experience with Epiduo. If you have very sensitive skin, I'd advise you to stay away. Only used it for two days and I broke out in a horrible rash, worse than my acne. I was red everywhere and my face was burning in pain."


"I've had the nexplanon since early October 2014, so it's been well over a year. As birth control, it is effective - but you have to be willing to put up with the side effects. The first thing I noticed was the acne. I've never had perfect skin, but my acne has never been out of control before. And I've never had acne on my chest or shoulders before, either. The mood swings are absolutely awful. Most of the time it's unnoticeable, but then I'll have a week where I feel like I'm 13 and experiencing adolescence all over again! My periods are twice as heavy and twice and long as they are naturally. I heard such great things about the Nexplanon, so I thought it would work for me, too, since my doctor was strongly against me getting an IUD."


"Entyvio works but it wears off after 3 weeks. It is 8 weeks between the IVs.
By 5 weeks, I am back to passing mush and having accidents. This is not acceptable for a $40K drug."


"Cleared about 80% of plaques, mild help on arthritis pain. Major hair loss"


"This medication is amazing. I have bronchitis, and it helped my cough so much that I was able to sleep."


"I took Saxenda at noon on the first day with a .6 dose, by 5PM I was feeling nauseated, by the evening I had thrown up and was honestly scared to take the next dose. I called the Dr. and he prescribed prilosec because I was having heartburn and zofran for nausea. I got brave and took the next dose at night and it made a big difference. I still felt a little nausea but not throwing up but decided that I needed to really give this medicine a try so I have stuck with it. I am now 3 wks into it and I can tell that I am losing weight and I feel like I am listening to my body and when I get full I stop eating. Nausea has gone away. I am not as hungry and I feel like I can make better choices food-wise because I am not  starving all the time."


"I've had Implanon for about a month now.  It is the easiest birth control and it covering you for three years is a relief.  You no longer have to worry about remembering a pill everyday or a shot every month.  I have been suffering from some side effects.  My period has been going on for about two weeks now and it stops and starts, sometimes heavy and sometimes light.  My appetite has been all over the place.  Sometimes I will have an overwhelming appetite and sometimes I can go all day with no appetite.  I've also had mood swings, but they're not very bad.  No harmful actions or anything like that.  So, this birth control has good and bad.  I haven't gotten pregnant though, which is a plus and the whole purpose of birth control to start!"


"The day I got skyla was horrible, my doctor asked if I had taken any pain meds before hand and I told her no, her response was "you should go take some your going to need it". That whole day I laid in bed and cried because the cramps were so bad. That lasted for about two days. Then when I was getting ready to have my period the cramps where still  unbearable nothing helped. I've been the ER 7 time for the pain and cysts which they told me they can do nothing about. I've kept it for a year hoping it would get better but it hasn't so I'm getting it taken out cause it's not worth it to me."


"I was diagnosed Bipolar back in 1993 after the birth of my last child.  Being the youngest in my family, I was not told of the condition being hereditary.   I was prescribed 750 mgs to begin with and and now at 500 mgs a day.  I cannot attribute any weight gain to Depakote, as at current I am in postmenopause and weight gain is likely.  I've had no issues with my liver, however; I do bruise easily.  At the time I began Depakote, I was running on overdrive and zapping out, not sleeping, not eating, feeling guilty, anxious, panic attacks, etc.  Since then I have returned to a relatively normal life.  I have currently been put on Effexor to help with my postmenopausal symptoms.  I'll update you on my progress."


"I have severe chest pain from my esophagus and my doctor gave me 60 pills of Oxycontin 40mg and 10/500 Percocet. The Oxycontin was for major episodes and the Percocet was too take 4 times a day."


"I accidentally found out about lysine by surfing the internet. Bought the store brand and in 1 month no outbreaks!    It truly works!  My regimen 1000mg daily and use alcohol wet naps to cleanse the area each bathroom use.  Thank GOD for lysine!"


"I tried Ambien but the only thing it did was make me stumble through the house like a drunk but not sleep well at all. But from the first time I took Lunesta 3mg it gently put me to sleep and I sleep the best I have slept in a long time; and after 2-3 years it still works well. Plus I wake with no feeling like I even take something to sleep. I am finding the need to take it to get sleepy more now, so my tolerance for this may have increased but I still think its a wonder drug for me. I think different people need different medicines to help. I think I'm lucky this works so well for me. Good luck everyone! I hope you find something that works just as well for you!"


"I got my Mirena put inserted on October 14th. It has been 2 months and so far, it has been an amazing decision for me personally. I was very nervous for the insertion but it ended up going really well. I know some people find the insertion very painful, but I felt very low pain, only mild cramping when they put it into place, which was a huge relief as I was very nervous about the pain. The first month I had no spotting, but I did get occasional cramps which were really painful. They only lasted for about 15 seconds and they were very intense, but they would go away and come back about every 30 mins. However, now I only get mild cramps every once in a while. Its definitely worth a try, if you're interested."


"I have been on Aviane for 3 months now and have had severe mood swings. My boobs grew a half size, but it doesn't make up for the mood swings I've been having. I'm am normally a relaxed person, but Aviane makes me extremely angry. I am going to switch pills as soon as possible."


"So my experience with this was not very good. I had it in for maybe 6 months and I was on my period the entire time, which was the most annoying thing ever. Also, it started messing with my emotions. I got really depressed, my anxiety increased, and it just made my personality change. Other than that, it will prevent pregnancy so thats a plus. When I went to my doctor to get it taken out she said the dosage was too high for me. Everyone should try it at least once because everyone's bodies are different so maybe it would workout for others"


"I am a 28 year old female. I have been taking this medicine for a month. I started out at 206 lbs on June 1,08. I am now 185 lbs as of July 16,08. This is the best diet pill ever. I didn't change my eating habits, just cut portions down. I walk on my treadmill every other day. I am still losing the weight. I recommend this to anybody who's trying to lose weight. I will try this before a weight loss surgery. Great Pill."


"So far I hate it...birth control yea because I've been having my period for 3 months. How can I tell if it works if I can't even have sex. 1 min I'm bleeding the next I'm not and when I think I'm in the clear I'm bleeding again. Im extra moody and I'm usually a nice person. I'll give it 1 more month. But this totally not what I signed up for"


"Ok so I bought the monistat 3 day treatment complete therapy but before I used it I wanted to know if it was painful. I read so many bad reviews that I was about to go back to the pharmacy and return it.  But for some reason at the end I kept it and use it and, I'm very happy that I did because I actually didn't felt anything I was able to sleep all night. I do recommend this product"


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for a little over a month and I'm fairly happy with it. I just had my first period after switching from YAZ and am much happier with it. I have always had heavy periods with bad cramps so I got started on YAZ to help. When it didn't (it actually got worse), my Doctor switched me to Loestrin 24 and my period was really light and I had almost no cramps at all. The only complaint I have is on YAZ I gained 7-10 lbs and I was hoping after switching to another birth control I would lose those extra pounds but so far it hasn't happened."


"This drug worked as well for me as did my Imitrex, but when my Neuro. changed my preventative meds. he switched me from Cafergot back to Imitrex (?).  But I was pleased with the results of this med."


"I started using Zoloft at the recommendation of my doctor who thought I may be experiencing mild depression.  I take 25 mg before bedtime and have been able to sleep peacefully (one thing I could not do before Zoloft).  I am not sure if my better overall mood is because of the drug or the fact that I am finally getting sleep at night, but I no longer burst into tears, scream at my family or contend with overwhelming negativity as I was prior to taking Zoloft.  The symptoms associated with PMS have definitely improved, as well.  I had side effects (shaking, dilated pupils, nausea) for the first two weeks, but have been fine since.  My doctor recommended that I take vitamin B with the medication daily - works well."


"This medicine has been amazing for me.  I was unable to sleep on my right side for the last 5 years due to pain, and now I can, with almost no pain.  The only down sides are that it causes extreme "dry mouth" for me (which gets worse when I am nervous) and constipated.  But it is worth it for the pain relief I am getting."


"I started taking Trazodone 50mg since more than a year now. My doctor told me to only take it if I think I wont be able to sleep after a long stressful day. Sometimes I only take half of the pill which tends to work to fall asleep faster but I regularly wake up during the night and can't fall asleep anymore. I do not notice any side effects while taking them."


"The medication did take care of restlessness, and mild tremors caused by my bipolar and depression medication."


"This drug is very effective in clearing acne, which is awesome, but it has very very harsh side effects. I used this drug two days in a row when I first got it (bad decision on my part) and woke up the next day with burning bright red skin that was sore and hot to the touch. People asked if I had gotten a severe sunburn! It really helped with my acne and definitely cleared my skin a lot, but the side effects made it impossible for me to use. It has now been 3 days since I last used it and my skin is peeling like crazy. I am using it in conjunction with clindamycin phosphate gel, a much gentler medication, and plan to only use epiduo 2x a week because of the horrible side effects. Make sure you moisturize and ease into using the medication!"


"This helped me a lot when I started taking it about six months ago. I had to switch over from Celexa because of the recent problems Celexa has caused.

Just recently, however, Zoloft has completely stopped working for me. I feel like I haven't felt in years: a deep sense of sadness that has nothing to do with my current circumstances. All brains are slightly different, though, so I don't mean to imply that this won't work for others."


"This is the only medication that relieves my pain. I cannot take the Vicodin class drugs because I am allergic, but I have no problem with this medicine."


"I'm down 17 pounds in 23 days. I have NEVER had this kind of positive result from anything I've tried. I have PCOS so my hormones made losing weight almost impossible. I have found that I've had to play with the dosage a bit.... when I got to week 3 where I'm supposed to take 2 pills in the morning and 1 at night, the nausea was intolerable and I wasn't able to sleep at night. I found that taking one in the morning and 1 around 2-3 in the afternoon seems to be my "sweet spot". The only side effects are occasional nausea, constipation (easily managed with senna), and extreme dry mouth, which helps with my water intake! I cannot wait to see what results are down the road for me!"


"Had a lower back injury in 2003. I had all kinds of procedures and nothing worked. I was on Vicodin and it worked for a while but the Norco 10/325 seems to work great. I have been on them for 6 months and able to go to my construction job daily. "


"I was SO anxious to get Skyla. I am 20 years old, 125lbs, and have never had children. However, the pain was nowhere as bad as I expected! It just felt like some deep cramping for a few minutes during the insertion.

Some tips: my doctor prescribed Misoprotosol to take the night before, to soften my cervix. I was also given a prescription for Lorazepam, a type of sedative or pain relief to take 30 minutes before. I also took 800mg of ibuprofen. It might have been overkill, but it all helped a lot!

Surprisingly, it's been a week and I haven't had ANY cramping or spotting since! I think I might be the exception, but so far it's been painless and I'm very happy with my choice. A little pain is worth it for 3 years of convenient birth control!"


"I have had Crohn's disease for 19 years and have been on many different medications. I have been hospitalized 6 times, where they shut down the colon to leave it to rest (no surgeries).  I have taken Imuran for 7 years and until last month have only had 4 flareups to account for, my doctors put me on a steroid  (not something that you want to take a lot of). For me this is usually about a 2-3 month process.  Unfortunately, my thyroid has gone from hypo to hyper and my Crohn's disease and blood pressure is out of control.  So my doctors have suggested I try Remicade...I have just had my second infusion, still taking Imuran, and 30mg of steroid, hoping to see some results soon."


"Seroquel XR is very good. It boost up my energy. After trying other medications this is the best with little side effects. In the morning you feel like staying in bed and weight gain because of hunger craving. "


"I've had the mirena for about a month now. I was terrified of it because of reviews. Before I got it inserted, I took 2 advil and I was super nervous. She told me to relax as much as I can because getting a shot to relax would be more painful. It wasn't painful and was pretty fast. It wasn't pain but pressure and like a very strong cramp.

I had a lot of cramps and I had bleeding the first day. I wasn't on my period when I had it inserted. I didn't have any bleeding the first two weeks and then I started to get spotting and its been two weeks of light spotting. It's not that bothersome. I do get cramps from time to time and a bit of bloating.

I did have unprotected sex with my long time boyfriend yesterday and I think I am fine."


"I'm a 36 year old female and I've been living with narcolepsy for over 20 years and was just diagnosed about 2 months ago! I have been on Provigil for 1 week. 200mg twice a day with that I still feel like a walking zombie. I have not noticed a change with no side effects. I was taken off of Nuvigil 150mg 1x/day. I did notice a huge difference with that. I remember feeling..wow this is what it feels like to be awake. But it would die out by noontime and barley get me through the rest of my day. I also experienced a dull constant headache and random nausea. It now seems almost worth going back to it and dealing with the side effects."


"My co-worker (who is also pregnant) suggested that I ask my doctor to prescribe Diclegis for me if I ever experienced nausea at any point in my pregnancy. I was sure I wasn't going to experience any of that until I hit week 7 & OH! I was in for a rude awakening. My nausea became horrible from day to day until I asked my doctor to prescribe something for my nausea. Of course, Diclegis was the medicine prescribed. After taking two at bed-time the first night, I didn't feel at all nauseated the next morning, therefore I didn't feel the need to take the morning dose. Now, only if I feel nauseated in the morning time, I'll take my morning dose (1tablet) and continue on with my day. The only downside? Diclegis can cause drowsiness."


"The good thing about this pill was that it basically reduced my period to a once-a-month light period that lasted a day and I didn't experience any cramping for the 10 months that I was on it. This was great because I have heavy, painful, irregular periods, and it was nice to not have to call in to work while on my period.
I had to stop taking the pill because it was affecting my moods severely. I felt like I was always panicking about something, like my mind was constantly on overdrive and obsessing about any little issue that came up. I had to fight feeling sad and hopeless on a daily basis, and this was odd because it the events happening in my life were very good. I've been off the the for a about a month and I feel much better."


"I've been suffering from Social anxiety disorder for years since I was 10 years old, I'm 24 now. As I got older I have been experiencing very perturbing intrusive thoughts, which I never had experienced before. Tramadol actually totally diminished them intrusive thoughts and additionally, I'm on Mirtazapine so they're effectively beneficial."


"I was prescribed this when I was first medicated, and it works incredibly. I have extremely severe anxiety, with severe physical side effects just on a normal day. My body practically shuts down during an anxiety attack. I was prescribed 80mg of the extended-release capsules and within two days my physical symptoms lessened. I was still anxious, but my body stopped reacting so violently to anxiety, and my attacks toned down a lot. It's like propranolol took everything down a couple notches, so that instead of a 5 my baseline was a 2 and my anxiety attacks went from an 8 to a 4. The only thing is, don't take such a high dose immediately, try to wean onto it, because I spent plenty of time in and out of the ER because I kept passing out, oops"


"I had the Implanon back in 2010-2013. It was amazing, my period was regular with no crazy side effects.  So I was expecting similar results when I got the Nexplanon in Sept. 2015.  I WAS WRONG.  Sure, I didn't have a period since insertion, but the cost was too damn high!  I had great skin, but it broke out like I was back in highschool (I'm 30).  I wasn't super skinny before, but I went from 150 to 175 in less than 6 months with no changes to my diet and workout regime.  I had crazy depression and couldn't concentrate on work to save my life. I have zero sex drive. I finally figured out that it was the Nexplanon after talking about my symptoms with a friend. I got it taken out recently and hopefully things will calm down again."


"Definitely puts you to sleep. Lay down, then take it."


"Just upped the dose to 50mg, this medicine works good as far as getting things done and having energy, the first time I took it I was really concerned about my school work and helps me stay on task. The only bad thing about it, for a few minutes at different times of the day this medicine makes me feel like it's wearing off and I feel down or kind of worried then it goes away. So my "happy" felling goes up and down throughout the day."


"I have been on Effexor for 18 years.   Yes, that's right: 18 YEARS.  It saved my life and then some.   I had very severe clinical depression back in 1995.  I was suicidal and anxious to the nth degree.   Effexor has brought joy back to my life and has enhanced my creativity and sexual desire.  I have been blessed with this medication.  It was the first anti-depressant my doctor prescribed and most likely the last.   A match made in Paradise: Effexor and I."


"Sexually frustrated me and I was a little bit aggressive coming onto it. EVERYONE has a specific anti-depressant that will work for them. It's all trial and error. However, even though it didn't work for me, I'm a fan of the medication. Prozac, however, did the job."


"Diagnosis: a Chronic Clinical Depressive with a 40 year history who does not react to meds in a typical manner. After 6 months of juggling meds weekly at the clinic, finally got relief with a daily dose of 150 mg Effexor XR. Have not had Any episode of Depression since 2003. The side effects are  more than tolerable as a tradeoff  to be the happiest people on this planet instead of in perpetual hell."


"It's just silence in my head, its hard to think. I don't have schizophrenia. I just can't really think clearly. All night I stayed up dizzy and nauseous but I'm gonna continue the medicine in hopes that it loosens up and keeps me mellow headed. After the initial nausea I felt pretty chill.

(If it gets better I will keep you guys updated.)"

"I had every side effect listed ... gained weight, pimples, mood swings EVERYTHING. My period was never ending, cramps made me cry I was in bed for a week no joke. My breasts... a simple hug hurt so bad. I got depressed taking this pill."


"My blood pressure topped 175/92 to 212/107, and my headaches were awful. Been on Tekturna HCT (take in the morning) combined with Exforge (in the evening) for a week and huge difference. Very low blood pressure and swelling from arms, face, and feet is going down. I feel much better, not so anxious, but I do feel a bit lethargic too. That might be because it is combined with Prozac. I am hoping I will get more energy as time goes on, but actually get sleep and not up and down like I was."


"I've been on sprintec for three months now. It has made me lose my appetite almost completely. I find myself eating once a day if that because nothing sounds or looks good. I have lost 15 pounds since I started it which is okay unless I keep losing weight. I have no mood swings or cramps and my period is predictable and comes on the same day each month. However, my face broke out insanely the second month and is just now clearing up and I bled/spotted for almost a whole month the second month."


"I have being on Invega Sustenna now for 4 month. It has been great medication but I started to have facial movement small, but I'm afraid it might increase. I will ask my doctor to reduce the dosage so I might not have side effect."


"The first day was awful... nausea, vomiting for hours, stomach ache that started about 8 hours after taking the pill (and lasted about 5 or 6 hours). I stopped it for one week cause it was Xmas time and had to stay at my parents house. The second time I took it it was the same, nausea and vomit  for  hours. But the day after I took the pill again after dinner and the side effects disappeared, except for the over production of gas, which is still happening after two weeks. But it seems to work very fast... the ganglions are decreasing dramatically!"


"I've been taking the Terbinafine 250mg tab once daily for just over a month now and haven't had any noticeable side effects.  My toenails have cleared up considerably and I still have 60 more days of treatment.  I think if you take this medication as directed, with a full glass of water and do not drink alcohol excessively, you'll probably stand a better chance of complete success.  This is the first treatment I have tried since they took the Lamisil Cream off the market that has worked."


"I have only been on Jardiance (10 mg) for 1 1/2 months but have watched by blood
glucose levels slowly drop - have not yet had another A1c.  I normally drink a lot of
water but have noticed a definite increase in frequency of urination as well as urgency.
This I can live with as I have "failed" 4 other diabetic medications. Have not noticed
much weight loss but I am only about 10lbs overweight anyway. Keeping fingers crossed with this medication.  I am not taking any other diabetic medication and was able to control with diet and exercise for a number of years.  But this is a progressive disease.  No other side effects noted."


"Restless legs and peripheral neuropathy. Got rid of restless legs 5 or 6 out of 7 nights.  Hard to say if it tones down neuropathy as it is all over the place. Take it 1 to 3 times a day. If you start to take less, ween yourself. I couldn't deal with restless legs without taking this."


"Androderm HAD given me back a reasonable level of energy, upped my mood and allowed me to function sexually again.  Unfortunately, with the changes to the product my insurance company no longer has it on its formulary as a Preferred medicine and the cost is about $1500.00 a year (co-pay's).  I am looking for an alternative that still allows me the benefits of a patch, without the outrageous price. Good product but I can't afford it!"


"I've just recently started taking this pill, it's month two and it's horrible for me I've started having stomach pains, constipation, some sadness and  most annoying enlarged and tender Breast with extreme heartburn! I have never experienced heartburn with a birth control pill I already suffer from stomach issues and don't need this pill to add to my suffering! Has anyone experienced any of this with just starting month 2?"


"I've taken Bromfed for 17 or 18 years.  The combination of ingredients helped my sinuses and congestion, but more importantly helped keep my headaches at bay.  Both migraines and normal headaches decreased dramatically, and now that it is off the market, I am miserable.  I've had a headache almost continuously for 2 weeks (since I ran out of my last prescription).  "


"Be very, very careful with this medication if you have sensitive skin. I have oily, acne prone, red skin that is very sensitive. In the past, a sodium sulfacetamide/sulfur wash had worked very well for my skin, so I had high hopes for this medication. I put some on last night and woke up to a bright red, inflamed face. I immediately got in the shower and washed the stuff off, but it has now been approximately 6 hours and my face is even redder. My recommendation is to test this first before you use it over your entire face. I'm praying this redness goes down because I can't even leave the house as of right now."


"I have been on aubagio for 6 mths.  Easy  to take especially after being on Copaxone for 5 years. No side effects except that I have been experiencing hair thinning, hair loss for the past 2 months.  The amount of loss is moderate and to be honest, it is worrisome. I cant find any info about when the hair shedding will stop. I had long thick hair but just had 8 inches cut off as shorter strands are easier to deal with than longer strands. I see me neuro this week and will ask.  Called the one to one nurse and it was a total waste of time.  I asked about how long does the hair shedding usually last and she replied by reading to me, word for word, what is on the aubagio site about hair loss."


"Why would u make such a awful drug plz discontinue this stuff. I know how it stops you getting pregnant you bleed every freaking day so who would have sex with you - no one.  I wanted to take the time out of my day to say this medicine sucks and I hate it.  I've gotten only 2 shots and I've been bleeding for 5 weeks . I just wanted to let u know that. Thanks for nothing."


"Atrovent has really helped me a lot.  I take it for Asthma.  I am supposed to take it every day but I usually don't do so.  I am starting to take it every day from now on.  I am supposed to take it twice a day.  I notice that when I take it twice a day as prescribed I breathe a lot better than usual and don't have any asthma attacks and if I do have an asthma attack it is very mild."


"I had unprotected sex a day after I finished my period. I am not on birth control so we used a condom. It ended up breaking and he finished inside of me. I ended up taking plan b as soon as I could & a week later I started spotting then it turned into a light period for 3 days. After terrible head aches, back pain, breast hurting and a lot of worrying I got my period a week late. It does work so don't freak out! Once you spot from the pill your period should come a month after that time. So just relax, you'll get it!"


"I didn't get on with statins -muscle aches. I have been taking this for several years with absolutely no side effects, and my cholesterol level keeps my doctor happy. "


"Been on 20mg a day for about 8 months now after trying several that did not agree with me. All seemed to be fine till two days ago, massive break down of suicidal thoughts. Began anti depressants after the deaths of mother and father 3 months apart. I think I was put on medication prematurely and think I was actually just starting the grieving process. After meds I never went through it, suddenly I'm grieving and crying uncontrollably like I just lost them today. I will be weaning myself off the meds slowly."


"I am 26 and otherwise perfectly healthy. I quit Seasonale after two months when I discovered my blood pressure had become very high (164/112). I had also been experiencing neck pain, a pressured feeling that seemed to be in my veins, which would alternate from one side of my neck to the other, since the second or third week of taking this pill. I was sent for many tests and found that one of my kidneys was mildly swollen (hydronephrosis). It took six weeks for my blood pressure to normalize, it would go down and then back up again. I was very concerned, anxious and depressed. I took hypertension medication for about two weeks as well, and was eventually able to lower my dosage and then stop it altogether."


"Premenstrual dysphoric disorder made being in my own head miserable.  I have been on Sarafem for three months now and the difference is amazing.  My husband has noticed that I am calmer and less emotional over trivial things since I started taking it.  I feel that I am more able to cope with daily life in the two weeks of the month that used to give me uncontrollable anxiety and anger issues.  I have noticed a few side effects including some loss of appetite and a bit of sleeplessness the first few weeks of taking Sarafem but the benefits definitely outweigh these drawbacks."


"I've had migraines for ten years now (from the age of 16) which increased in severity to the point that I was rushed to hospital with a suspected stroke. I started on amitriptyline 5mg once a day which reduced the severity of the migraines but didn't stop them altogether. I was advised that I could increase this to 20mg a day and since then (4 months) have been migraine free. "


"If I were to just review this drug from an anxiety/fear of social interaction standpoint, I would say that Lexapro is awesome. Lexapro has stopped me from having tremors every time someone talked to me out of the blue, and I do not mind being in the spotlight anymore during classes. For (group) presentations, I still feel physical symptoms and my tremor building up, but not nearly as much as I did without Lexapro. My biggest fear happens to be giving presentations and this is what I am taking it for primarily. I think if I were to do a standalone presentation, I would still have A LOT of difficulty focusing on the topic at hand but not because of anxiety. This drug makes it very hard for me to focus in school. Hope to go down to 5mg from 10"


"Very good"


"I've tried Concerta alone, Strattera alone, Strattera with Wellbutrin, and am now taking Concerta 36 and Strattera 40 together.  They have different effects, and I don't want to be without either one.  Concerta works great for staying on target when I'm at work.  Strattera works great at lowering irritation and provokability.  Much slower to anger with the Strattera, able to brush off insults, has helped with marital problems.  Strattera also makes me interested in my daughter and wife, improves my patience in reading a book, and reduces my urge for internet browsing.

I had the often reported sexual side effects (leaking semen, painful ejaculation) at the 60 dose, so reduced to 40."


"I am suffering very severe back pain due to a Ruptured Disk L 4-5. I have been on Nucynta for two weeks now. I started with the Blue Pill 250mg twice a day (every 12 hours). The pain subsided with first dose within 45 minutes. All I felt was a warm fuzzy sensation throughout my body. I was somewhat tired but not too bad. I felt detached for some time, like I was not in the room. I had some difficulty remembering what I was going to do. I decide to do something and a few seconds later I could not remember. This happens quite often after I take my dose.  All in all, I am very happy with this medication for pain. It really does help."


"I've have the NuvaRing for about 2 weeks now and I LOVE IT. I was very skeptical about having a foreign object in my vagina, but my doctor was persistent. Boy am I glad he did that, I hated the pills! Everyone must remember that not all birth control is for everyone, you have to find the one that works for you! I've tried Yaz.. gave me chest pains and loss of sex drive. I've tried the Depo shot and bleed/spotted for 3 months! I've tried Lo-Loestrin and had breakthrough bleeding. I cannot feel the NuvaRing at all, and neither can my partner. I have been eating a little more, but no weight gain except my breasts and no complaints there. These reviews are personal experiences, not good for every individual (remember that)."


"I first got put on birth control in 2012 due to ovarian cysts. I tried 5 types in the past that didn't work for me. They either made me depressed, induced anxiety, headaches, acne, etc. I was Aviane for roughly a year, it had the least amount of side effects, but stopped in 2014 because of weight gain & anxiety. Now 3 years later, I'm trying Sprintec to avoid getting pregnant.This is my first week and so far so good. None of the side effects I had with the others. The first few days I was really nauseous, had a headache the 1st day, and I still don't have a strong appetite. I've actually lost 5 pounds so I don't mind though. And my boobs look great. :) Will update more when I continue with this pill for longer."


"My son is 13 and he has tried several different prescriptions for ADHD. This one does seem to be the best so far.  I have read about the max of dose being 20 ml and that is what he is on. Once the medicine wears off he can be very difficult to manage with his attitude and behavior.  It is ends up being a very stressful situation when he gets this way.  "


"Works great except for runny nose for a few hours after I take it. Linsopril made me cough 24/7. Had massive heart attack 4 months ago and medicines side effects don't compare to fear & pain of that attack. Diet & exercise & Dr. Said blood results better than good. "


"I've had acid reflux for 4 years. My doctor recommended Prilosec, etc. None of the over the counter medicines worked. Some mornings, I would wake up with a mouthful of acid. My voice was becoming more horse. On some days I could barely speak and thought I would lose my voice entirely.
My latest Doc prescribed Dexilant after giving me some free samples.
Within a few days, my throat was better. I've been taking it for 1 month and my voice is almost back to normal. So far, I've had no side effects, but will taper off the medicine so I don't get weakened bones due to lower calcium intake. The doc gave me a discount card, and insurance covers all but $20.00."


"I had Implanon implanted in March of 2009 and nothing but problems since.  I had depression, mood swings, period for 6 months straight, cyst in right breast, pelvic pain, edema, fever, headaches, back pain, joint pain, weight gain, acne, and the list goes on.  I just got it removed and I can't wait to get to feeling better soon."


"I've just started taking this pill a week ago. today is 7/26 and lost 8 pounds.  since my doctor recommended me  to start only with half, I'm just taking half. My starting weight 188...today 180 ... Side effects dry mouth.,"


"I've been on sprintec a little over a month & so far I really like it. My skin is clear & less oily. I don't have bad cramping like I use too. I had some bloating the first  couple weeks then it went away. This is the only birth control method I've tried & so far so good! I take it every night at 9:30"


"I have had my Implanon for not even 5 weeks and I have had the worst moods swings and depression. It's been ruining my relationship with my boyfriend because I constantly ask myself if he loves me anymore and things like that (I know he does but the implanon says different) it's given me severe anxiety, super upset and breaking down in tears everyday and have an empty feeling in my stomach. I've never felt so emotional and sad before. I really want it out but they said wait 6 months and it might change and I might get used to it but it seems so long. Anything can happen within 6 months. I really do not suggest this if you do not like crying over everything, especially TV ad's because they had a puppy."


"I'm a larger guy. A full week before I did suprep I took miralax every day and started liquid diet two days early.

Pre-suprep, charged all electronics and put them in bathroom. I've decided to hang out in here until done.

Measured out two sixteen ounce cups of water and put it in one giant cup. Upon opening the first bottle I gave it a sniff test and it smelled alright. Took it warm and slammed it like a giant shot. The salty taste threw me off, but I went straight to my big cup and slammed the water. Kissed my fiance goodbye and have set up camp in the bathroom.

Two hours later, light cramping and faucet style diarrhea. After reading and hearing about preps, I came in scared. This feels easy as hell. Liquid went down fast."


"Awaiting op for a herniated disc, prescribed Gabapentin. Marvellous, no pain, but slight disorientation."


"This is my third week of being on Lo Loestrin Fe 1/10.  I started it 3 days after my period started because that is when my obgyn gave me the pills.  I continued to bleed after my period had stopped and at day 10 the spotting had ended.  After 1 full week of the pills I had no spotting, but on week 3 I have started again unfortunately.  The bleeding is ridiculously light, just enough for a light day pad.  I have used Ortho Tri-Cyclen where I went completely nuts, breast tenderness, moodiness and my hair fell out.  Then I tried Nuvaring where everything was fine until I got my first migraine.  I stopped the Nuvaring and continued to have the worst migraines ever. So far this pill has been really good to me! "


"Works wonderfully. Takes a few days to kick in and leaves an unpleasant feeling in the throat though. The latter can easily be dealt with by using it just before eating.

Surprised to see this is a prescription medicine though. It's over the counter in my home country and in other countries I've visited. Same goes for many similar nasal sprays."


"I have a panic disorder and my doctor put me on the Remeron. I thought it was great at first. It caused my panic attacks to slow down and my anxiety to die down. Then the side effects started. I had an increased appetite and put on nearly 30lbs. I didn't mind that, but then it also began causing me to become very irritable. I started feeling like I was going into blind rages. I immediately contacted my doctor and switched medicines. Use caution."


"Horrible!!! I decided to give this a try but in the first month I gained 10 lbs, my apetite increased so much. I couldn't control myself it was worse than the munchies(420) my husband and I started having issues bc I was never in the mood for sex and I mean NEVER. Horrible horrible horrible. Mood swings,I would get really sad out of no where pretty depressing. I was very negative started losing confidence which is not me. Only good thing this pill did was give me super clear skin. Today is 1 month and 1 week i am not taking it anymore!!!"


"I bought this 7 day treatment pack to treat this infection, thanks in part to antibiotics giving me the freaking infection.  I went threw pure HELL on day 1 but stuck to it hoping that it would get better and easier soon.... I'm on day 3 and still going threw pure HELL!!! It's 3 a.m. and my vagina is on fire, I mean it burns way worse then it ever did to start with! I have not had a yeast infection in a long time but I do remember buying this stuff before and it not hurting this dang bad...don't know what they did to change it but I won't be doing this no more because it's suppose to at least feel better on the third day not like I have a fire in my vagina."


"I'm 43 and have been at a stand still where my weight is concerned-I have reduced my sugar intake and all around carb intake-no longer really eat breads and I exercise about 4 days a week-wasn't really getting anywhere so I asked my doc to give me something as a jump start.  I started Belviq on 7.14 and now 14 days later I am down 9 pounds and I feel GREAT!  No side effects and I feel alert and in an Awesome  mood!  I'm picking up my first month supply and can't wait to see the result after being on it for three months.  I'm 5'11 and started out at 215 and now at 206 and my plan is to get down to my goal weight of 175!  I've never felt so great and energized and HOPEFUL!"


"I would never recommend this birth control. I was very moody on this I literally always cried about everything. My anxiety got 10 times worse and I always had my period - literally for 22 days and then didn't for 5 days  and then got it again for 18 days and this would happen every month ... My boobs always hurt and I was always very tired.. My cramps got worse. I had the worst experience with this birth control."


"I am 25 have tried about 5 different types birth control pills. I was on Velivet for about 8 months. I know every one is different but for the last 3-4 months I was on it I was getting 2 full periods per month instead of 1/month. Another down fall was it completely shutdown my sex drive which is fine if you are single and looking to stay out of trouble. The pros of this pill are: kept my acne away and it kept my mood stable no crying or moodiness. Before this pill I was on Sryonx and it turned me into a crying machine. I am now switching to Reclipsen hopefully  it helps with reducing my periods to once a month. In conclusion it was not a good enough pill to make me want to stay on it."


"This seems to help the pre-seizure "twitchiness" my spouse experiences, and has the side benefit of helping him to sleep. Also when he gets really agitated before hand, it seems to adjust his mood and make him feel more comfortable. Dose is small, 5 mg as needed."


"STAY AWAY FROM THIS. Took this medication at 5 am when I woke up with a headache. Took an advil extra strength. Shortly after, I was puking my guts up for like an hour. I had an exam that morning too. Needless to say, I failed my exam. Thank you advil. I do not recommend this."


"I think this drug helps really well."


"I suffered for three weeks and tried every OTC medication and most home remedies to no avail. I got this product today and the instant I applied this "WONDER" medication relieved all pain. I'm hoping that it will save me the surgery to correct the problem. This product should be made available to the public over the counter. I strongly suggest that everyone save their money and just visit the Dr. and ask for this product...IT WORKS!"


"This drug, ruined my joints, chronic pain, I lost an inch in height, and my endometrosis was only gone for three years. I have gained 40 pounds, now have lost my mobility, can no longer dance or go out, im only 36 but i feel twice as old. I would Never have taken it of I had known it was a chemotherapy drug for prostate Cancer."


"Lamictal rocks! Been on several different meds for bipolar and was beginning to feel hopeless. But doctor changed me over to lamictal and after two weeks I feel like a new and normal person! No more manias and only slight depression episodes rarely! Love it!!!"


"I never have a problem with this birth control. I've been on Orsythia for at least 3 years. I see all of the bad reviews, which I find interesting. I've never had a problem. I don't get cramps anymore and I have a very light, short period. I've never gotten pregnant. Very effective for me."


"Terrible option. I had it the full three years 2012-2015 and I gained 30 pounds on it. And lost a ton of hair. I always thought it might have been my stress but it wasn't; it was this rod. I was moody, sad and always depressed. In the three years I had it, I had exactly 2 relationships because no one wanted to deal with my moodiness. These guys thought I was insane. I did wait the 3 years because it was so convenient but convenience is not always smart. Now that I'm off this, I've lost weight and feel much better. Everyone is different but this did not work for me"


"I've just finished these and felt a bit strange and dizzy. Was glad the 7 days were over!  However 3 days now since I finished them and today I am feeling awful terrible diarrhea and sickness, so it doesn't necessarily finish when you stop then.  You still shouldn't drink alcohol for at least 2 days after stopping them!"


"Prescribed for tooth infection. Had previously and had bad diarrhoea previously. However this time I'm on day 3 and really struggling. No diarrhoea this time but feeling very nauseous all day, headaches, bad taste in mouth, extreme fatigue and feeling really terrible."


"The itching is very very intense about 5 minutes after you use it. It goes away (I've used it before) this same reaction happened last time and I'm sure this is how the product works. After my 1 day treatment my infection went away! It's a good product and gets the job done. Although I could do without the mad itching feeling... It really does help, you just have to get over the few hours of pain and itching."


"I have been on Buspar for about 2 months now for anxiety from keppra. It seems to work sometime but when I get an anxiety or panic attack it hits hard. I was on 5mg twice a day and now my dose is really high. Like today it seems to have no effect. And I'm always lightheaded dizzy fogged out feeling. And my other doctor said to try Xanax."


"Limited improvement after 6 months, developed bad rash and MD refused to continue medication."


"Avastin has stopped my glioblastoma/astrocytoma in its tracks."


"I started this a few days ago, after I was told by the  Clinic that it would work well for me because it was a "non narcotic" however, I found that it only provides temporary relief. it does nothing to help fight the infection causing the cough. I was told to stop taking other OTC Medicines. But this really didn't do anything"


"I suffer from degenerative arthritis in my lower spine, which is slowly making its way up my back. At first I was taking Oxynorm which is the same as OxyContin but in an instant release form. I began on 10mg a day, however due to tolerance issues this dosage quickly increased. Leaving me in a state where I was so stoned I might as well have been drunk. Concerned with that I spoke to my GP who changed me over to OxyContin, slow release. After 3 years, due once again to tolerance I am on 80mg 3x24hrs. The pain relief is awesome sometimes it's so effective I forget my backs stuffed. However some of the side effects are bad for instance I forget to breath, have trouble swallowing and the constipation is horrendous."


"Was on 120mg for 2.5 years after trying most of the antidepressants on the market. It worked the longest and the best on my Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) out of all the other SSRI's I've been on over the last 10 years. Unfortunately, its effectiveness began to drop out and my depression came back so I had to switch to something else. If you have been taking this medication for an extended period of time and need to stop taking it, please wean slowly and do so only with the help of your doctor. Many people, including myself suffered for weeks from terrible withdrawal - symptoms included vomiting, dizziness, head spins, extreme fatigue and a worsening of depression symptoms. "


"first my dentist prescribed amoxicillin for my tooth abscess, but when I went in for the extraction, I still had it, so he prescribed this. I lost a days worth, they fell out of my pocket. But I took the rest, and I still feel it slightly. It had no side effects for me."


"Amlodipine 5mg and 10mg caused continuing and annoying swelling of feet, ankles, and calves.  I am finally changing it in favor of a different medication."


"I've tried everything. I've tried Rodin and Fields, I've tried very expensive chemical peels, I've tried regular hydroquinone. This is the only thing that has given me any results. I've been using it for a few weeks and I've already seen a difference. It's been especially effective on the melasma on my fore head, although it is also made my melasma mustache considerably lighter.  You have to go to the doctor to have it prescribed, and it is very expensive. I think with the coupon I paid about $150. To me it's worth it. I've been self-conscious about this for far too long."


"Probably the best steroid for atrophy. It has a very safe security profile and soothes even deep inflammation. Works great for me."


"Before starting birth control (about six months ago) I was really scared and nervous, I must report however, that I have seen no negative side effects and I would definitely recommend this pill. I am 17 years old and to any other teen who is thinking about going on the pill but has heard  negative things about I would like to tell you to just try it because chances are you'll see no side effects and if you do they will not be as permanent as bearing a baby. Good luck!"


"I have had Mirena 4 years and 7 months. The insertion was painful, but after I left the doctors office I did not cramp. I had small amounts of spotting for 3 days after. My hormonal acne had gotten worse along my jaw line, creating cystic acne, however I would rather keep Mirena regardless. I have not had a period since 1 month after insertion, no headaches or cramps. I have gained about 10 pounds. I will be getting Mirena at my 5 year mark again."


"Getting it put in was painless and I am a big baby even though I have given birth 3 times haha! I didn't feel a thing though the doctor hadn't even started when she was done. Afterwards I was a bit sore! I still have a fantastic sex drive, not too moody, and haven't gained weight yet. It's been about 1 month and a half. I do wish I would stop bleeding though it's been over two weeks, not a big fan of that. It's making sex a little undesirable obviously but overall it's great so far! I just hope I'm not one of those chicks who bleeds."


"I can't believe a drug like this exists. I've been suffering mentally and emotionally with OCD for so many years because I thought I was out of options. I've tried Paxil, Prozac, Wellbutrin, and trazadone. Most had side effects so bad, I couldn't keep taking them. But years later, I decided to try again.

   The first 9 days were awful with insomnia, flu like symptoms, loss of appetite, cold sweats and a general "loopy" feeling. I wanted to stop taking it so bad, but the reviews on this site made me want to keep trying because I really felt brand new mentally.

   When I woke up in the 10th day, I felt amazing! The impulsive thoughts are mild and manageable with the techniques from my therapist, and I feel better than I have in years."


"Its my third night, 6th application and the results are significant. I have a mild textbook case of Rosacea but everything is relative. To me its terrible. I've been treating Rosacea like it was acne for years until I finally found a Dermatologist, who knows what she is doing. After 3 nights my face has cleared up dramatically and some of my pigmentation issues are getting better as well. So far, so good. Hopefully it will continue.  I am going to have a LightPodNeo laser treatment as well to compliment the Finacea.. The Doctor recommended waiting until 6 weeks of the Finacea treatment was completed before having the laser treatment. She said laser can exacerbate the Rosacea if not done properly and at the right time."


"I had a blister that got infected from wearing tight boots for a few hours and then bam! I got an infection so I went to the nurse and got me some pills of Keflex for 4X a day for five days and an antibiotic cream. I feel much better. Don't ever wear tight shoes, ever."


"I have unfortunately  had to use this medicine  twice.  First time I got very sick and nausea, and the taste was just horrible. ..now this time it has no taste whatsoever and I take  it with no food and  fine. I'm thinking maybe they changed it a little  and got rid of that metallic  taste. not  sure.  I noticed difference immediately. ..on 500 mg twice a day for 7 days..but I'm about to be stop now. 5 days is enough"


"I just started taking this birth control a week and a half ago. So far, so good. I have noticed a profound difference in my acne. Most blackheads are gone. Also, my breasts are bigger, which is never a bad thing."


"I took Seroquel for a year and a half. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I can say for the most part the medicine did help me. I was taking 50mgs because I have kids. It helped me along with therapy to deal with my depression. I had to stop."


"Some side effects...they've been manageable. Keeping a positive attitude and having a support group has been beneficial."


"I am a 35yo female and had my first migraine at 16yo just after giving birth to my firstborn. Over the years, particularly after each baby, the symptoms have become worse and are always experienced during menstruation.
Recently codeine products that would normally help are not even touching the sides of the pain, and I have been experiencing increasing levels of sickness that anti-nausea tablets don't have any impact on.
But yesterday a friend gave me a maxalt wafer because I couldn't function under the intensity of the sickness and pain.
At first it didn't seem to do anything. But after maybe an hour to 90 minutes and I was no longer sick, nor was I in pain!! It was like a miracle!!
How ever vision was slightly more blurred than usual."


"On Victoza for one week.  Have noticed drop in sugars from 150  to 120 most of the time.  Still have to take 35 units of fast acting at night to get sugars down to 88 at 3:00am.  Take 25 Lantus at night and 50 in morning.  Some burping, constipation. Weight 300 lbs now. Will monitor it.  Only side effect is an increase in heart beat of about 20 at rest and when exercising (from 70 to 90 at night) from 95 to 115 when at gym.  They are still okay.  I take Coreg and lisinopril for heart medication.  Blood pressures is good as usual, 130/75. A1C - 7.7. Will test in 3 months. Had bypass surgery last year. "


"I had nexplanon implanted April 2015. I bled for about a month and have not had a period since. I had some acne before the implant but now it's become worse. I've tried new face wash and treatments and nothing is working. I also gained weight even with going to the gym everyday. I guess you have to give and take so depends on if you can handle some weight and acne for no periods."


"I like this pill because it is a progesterone only pill. I don't like the idea of adding estrogen. However my biggest complaint is that I have irregular periods. Sometimes I have two periods a month. I like everything about it otherwise, no other side effects. I am unsure of what to do because I am tired of having two periods a month. I did have times in the past where I had a period every other month. So I am not sure why it keeps changing."


"After I had it removed 3 months ago I have tried other methods. Gained weight and bad mood swings on the pill. With Implanon I never used to worry about getting pregnant. I had hot flushes and bleeding but I also enjoyed the many months without periods. I'm having another 1 put on next week."


"Got my Implanon August 2012 at my 6 week check. Had one period, none since. I gained a few pounds but it's my fault. My sex drive has slowed some but other then that its great."


"I have been using Advare for 10  years & my doctor decided to switch me up. I have been feeling weak, having headaches, dizzy & like my vision is not tracking with my eyes. Also I have been EXTREMELY sensitive to light ever since I started taking this. Called my Dr today & begged them to put me back on Advare."


"I was put on Nexplanon in September after having my son in July. I had heard you either love or hate it but I figured I would be fine on it because I never had side effects on other medicines. Boy, was I wrong. My anxiety heightened, my depression worsened, I got terrible acne, I got awful migraines and I bled nonstop for two months. I was also tired and had no energy. I didn't even feel like myself anymore. After having it for four months, I got it removed. My OB said that basically the Nexplanon implant was causing my body to think it was going through menopause. I guess that's the price I had to pay for the convenience of not having to remember to take a pill daily."


"Ambien was not the drug for me.  There were mental side effects that caused me to being depressed, and confusion about life interests.  I was in the emergency room 4 times in one weekend after 2 months of taking ambien prescribed by my doctor to help me sleep.  I will never take this drug again. !!"


"I got the birth control Implanon about one month ago. The first three weeks were great, no side effects but now it is time for my regular period and all I have done was spot for 8 days. It's like my period wants to start but all I do is spot. I am okay with that but I am afraid that it is not going to stop after reading these reviews. I certainly do not want a 2 week period. I also have cramping, nausea and dizziness. I also get hungry more often. I considered having it taken out but I really want to wait a few more months and see what it does. I love the fact of not using condoms and I have a very light period. "


"Hello ladies, just wanted to let you know if you are unsure at all just take this! Do not be scared, I've read about side effects, and was unsure before taking it! However I had no side effects! Believe me you will be okay, it's better to use this then to worry about pregnancy."


"This is by far and wide the best treatment for coughing. The worse your cough is, the fewer "high" feelings you will have. I don't mind the hazy feeling all opioids tend to give off, so this is an added benefit for me. The meds help relax your entire body. It can be difficult to sleep on it"


"CRESTOR 20mg - STARTED TAKING ON Jan 14, 2015; TWO YEARS AGO.     approx Dec 2016 started to have noticeable pain in legs - meanwhile playing tennis 3 times a week - On Feb 21, 2017 Cardiologist would not eliminate Crestor or substitute but said go to 1/2 dosage which I did.  It's effective.  Will review in 4 months with  Cardiologist
MUSCLE ACHES SHOULD BE A WARNING TO ATHLETES WITH THIS STATIN - MAYBE OTHER STATINS TOO.
11/01/2016 -- recognized leg pain - both lower legs as problem
12/19/16 - saw Sports Med Dr at Penn - - Naproxen scripted
02/21//17 - talked w/Cardiologist about continuing both lower leg pain►- now reduce to 10mg -
PAIN REDUCED QUICKLY AFTER LOWER DOSAGE and remains minimal NOW"


"I've only been on it 6 weeks. If you're going to let a Doctor prescribe this for you, make sure your doctor is going to be there through all of the side effects that come with it. I had to replace my first vascular surgeon already because he didn't care at all that my periods were now 16 days long. This drug may cause me to have another surgery to have an IUD put in to stop my periods completely.

The claims on their website that this drug does not interact with food is untrue. There are complications just like being on the older medications. Find a doctor who knows everything about this drug before agreeing to be on it!"


"I haven't seen anyone else discuss this, but Latuda gave me A LOT of anxiety.  Within 2 hours after taking the medication I would be in full freak out mode.  Also, my lower legs felt tingly.  These issues tended to last anywhere from 2-7 hours after I took it (at 4pm).  I gave it a 3 because I think it was otherwise working for what I'd hoped. My irritability disappeared completely.  However, because of the side-effects I'm off and looking for something else. (I also take lithium and Lamictal)."


"It works great for me. Took time to work. With relaxing and staying away from chemicals it worked."


"Tried cialis after talking to family doctor been having problems with keep a erection during sex. Was given trial pack of twenty mg tabs instructed to cut them into two pieces when trying them for the first time. Twelve hours later nothing was feeling down then around twenty hours later bingo it started to work, had sex several times over a three day period and it is still working on day four, wife very impressed states it is harder bigger and last longer then when I was younger."


"I was given Toradol for five days post operation (which is another wonderful medication) and Loratab to take along with it.  I never had the need or desire to take the latter.  But after Toradol was gone (I was able to stretch it over nine days) I still needed something else.   I began to take Naproxen over-the counter strength and the pain and stiffness gradually came back.  I had Cataflam, which after 2-3 dosages, controlled the discomfort that was building up.  "


"Works extremely well on the face.  If you have a flare up it takes 2 days to disappear.  That's the only reason I give it an 8 instead of a 10."


"This is the worst medication I have ever tried to take. It made me severely depressed, almost to the point of being suicidal. I am normally very happy, so the reaction was alarming. Also, I cried incessantly and had terrible vaginal dryness, loss of appetite, and insomnia. I didn't eat or sleep for about 3 days, and I was all swollen from crying. (Keep in mind that these symptoms happened on my honeymoon.) My new husband (who wanted me to be on some form of birth control) begged me to stop taking it.

I stopped taking it, and within 3 months was back to normal. "


"BEWARE THE DEVIL PILL!!
The utmost worst experience of my life on Yasmin. The first month was ok..... continued to take it, up until the third month I started to see the side effects creeping through. My hair was falling out and I began to get very thin lining on the top of my scalp which is horrible!!! And looks horrible too. My anxiety  was at its worst I gained at least 10 kilos within four months of being on this pill and was recommended by my doctor to take it as it is one that most likely you wouldn't gain weight on I guess all bodies are different. However... The 5/6th month of being on this pill was the worst time of my life.... my depression was so high and strong and I felt as though I could not function at all! Don't recommend it"


"I've had Implanon in for three months now. So far I've had bleeding (spotting) constantly since I have had it in, which is so annoying, slight weight gain and acne. Dizziness and nausea! I called my doctor and they told me to wait it out and usually after 4 months it will become normal again. I'm going to wait a little longer but if nothing changes I will get it taken out. I have a very healthy and active lifestyle so I know the birth control has affected it. Me and my boyfriend enjoy it because we don't have to use any other kind of contraception. I say try it! It's worth seeing if it works for you, everyone is different"


"I started taking Loestrin for pregnancy prevention two years ago with virtually no side effects. This birth control has the lowest dose of hormones which controls nausea (a huge problem with previous birth controls), my skin looks great, no weight gain, cramping or bloating, PMS and hormones are regulated and my period disappeared after about 6 months. My breasts did get bigger - not a full cup size, but maybe a half - and I have found that sentimental things make me cry easier than before I was on the pill. Most importantly though, this birth control PREVENTS PREGNANCY. I take it everyday at the same time +/- 30 minutes and have never had a scare in two years!"


"Do not used this.  I was switched over by CVS off of Mononessa and it has been the worst thing for me EVER. I have been on Estarylla for about 4 months and I have gained about 20 pounds (keep in mind I run at least 10 miles a week along with weight training 5-6 times a week) so this weight gain is absurd. Along with the weight gain I spot for a week before my period, then my period lasts me a week. With Mononessa I would only have my period with no side effects for 5 days. Now here I am on Estarylla and I have become an emotional wreck and cry without any reasoning. Two weeks before my period I become so nauseous I cannot get out of bed. The bloating is absurd as well. Basically if you want to feel like crap then go ahead and take this."


"I have motility issues (i.e., idiopathic constipation) and Milk of Magnesia works, but causes severe bloating, for me. For anyone with this issue, Dulcolax is enterically-coated, so no bloating. But, the urge to 'go' comes on very, very suddenly."


"48 years old, diagnosed Type 2 about 4 years ago. In the past year or so I have not been able to control my blood glucose. My A1C at last test was 11.4. I started insulin (Levemir) in Dec. with no effect. Started Victoza 4 days ago at .6mg. I have seen a drop in my BG (from 300's to 250's). The nausea is almost too much to deal with, but I can say that I have absolutely no appetite. I upped my dose to 1.2mg this weekend and we'll see what happens. The Doc said the nausea would go away. I hope she's right. I can't live like this, but I can't live with the BG being so high either. Keeping my fingers crossed that this works, 'cause the doc said the next step could be a pump. My friend was taking it and he ended up with pancreatitis and can't take it anymore"


"Clonidine is wonderful for me. I've been using heroin, 1.5 g's a day for several years. The clonidine combined with my lorazepam made the withdrawal sickness almost non existent. Best part is: you can actually get some sleep.
Stay strong."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Was so glad to have found this forum and info! Read through tons of comments and chose what I thought would work best...extremely cold water added to the medication solution, a green apple jolly rancher sucker to lick in between gulps along with a sip of ginger ale here and there. Wasn't fun but totally doable. Worked within 30 minutes!"


"For many years I've have been juggling medicines from Lexapro, Xanax, Zoloft, along with Lunesta for sleep. Had anxiety along with depression, couldn't sleep and was losing weight. 3 weeks ago my doctor prescribed Remeron to me and within a week I was like a new person. Depression and anxiety lessen and my sleep is great. This has been a miracle for me. Yes I am gaining weight but I needed to. My quality of life is so much better."


"I had been taking this BC for about three months. I always bled before the fourth week. Each month bleeding earlier than the month before. Didn't gain weight. Did not break out as bad as the first BC I was previously on (Sprintec). Then out of no where, MOOD SWINGS. & when I say mood swings, I'm talking a full 180. One minute things would be fine, then the next, I'm crying & ready to cut off the head the person closest to me. Today I started Xulane. I'm hoping that this will not make me gain weight, break out, or cramp like a lot of the reviews have stated. Hopefully no more mood swings! best part about these pills, I DID NOT GET PREGNANT."


"I have been on microgestin Fe 1/20 for 6 years now and I have no issues with this pill. My doctor originally prescribed this medication to me because I get headaches frequently. I do not experience headaches as much as I did before and I have not had any weight gain, emotional distress, or acne of any sort. I get my period on the same day every month and with very minimal cramps and bleeding. I highly recommend this medication."


"I have been on this medication for almost 2 weeks now and have lost 6 lbs. I am 5'8" was 180lbs. I find that I do not get any side effects (nausea/headache) if I have food in my stomach%u2013so eat when you take it! I also try not to take the evening pills too close to bedtime as it keeps me awake for a while.

This pill has been very effective at suppressing my craving for sweets and my appetite in general. I realized last week that I hadn't had anything sweet to eat for several days and don't snack at all. The pill helps me realize that I don't need to snack throughout the day and only eat when I'm hungry at mealtimes."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for about 2 months. I started out with the 30mg and now I am taking 120mg 1x day. I take Cymbalta for Depression, Diabetic Pain, Psoriatic Arthritis Pain, Fibromyalgia, Weight Loss. But I have noticed about 3 days after starting the 120mg a day my psoriasis flared up very bad. I have not added anything new to my diet. The only different was the increase of the Cymbalta. I will keep on taking the medication at that dose. I will just keep on using a lot of creams to help with the Psoriasis rash. I must also say I have been losing a lot of Weight which is a good thing."


"Had a condom accident on July 29th during a very fertile time for me, and I took the pill 2 hours later. I was SO STRESSED for 2 weeks thinking of this pill not working, but it did. Got my period today, 3 days earlier than normally expected. This pill made me extremely tired and gave me very sore breasts for a couple of days, but it overall worked! So please please please to anyone reading this, RELAX. It will all be okay!"


"This was alot better than the nasty gallons of the past, yes I said gallons. Mixed first dose and just chugged it, yes in one lip setting, lol, drank my water within about 10 minutes, used flavoring for it. Started working within about 15 minutes, was actually not too bad. I have had about 8 of these procedures, started at 27, 52 now, if you think these are not good you would not survived 20 years ago, very good easy to use bowel prep, does what it is designed to do."


"I have been on this for about 8 yrs. It is the only thing that made me feel normal with out being loopy or "high". My only thing is that I am needing to either increase it or add something. Open to suggestions."


"Used Fleet for bowel prep before a sigmoidoscopy. It was extremely painful, made me sick to my stomach for hours, the chills and shakes, increased heart rate, cramping even after I emptied my bowels. "


"I started Aviane 2 months ago. My 1st month in my third week, I started cramping. I started spotting the day before my placebo pill, which was followed by extremely agonizing pain in my stomach & pelvic. Nothing helped take the pain away (heating pad, Pamprin, Percocet, peppermint tea, hot bath, stretching, etc.). For 3 days I had spotting, and then it was like the flood gates opened on the 4th day. Every hour I was changing a super tampon & pad because the bleeding was that bad, still with the horrible pain.

My period this month is now doing the same thing with the horrible pain. My doctor is switching my pills so hopefully I don't experience this pain again. Its truly the worst pain I have ever felt in my life!"


"I started taking Tri-Sprintec when I was 17. I am now 24. This was originally recommended to me by my OBGYN for acne and migraines and it has made my skin great and migraines disappear. Occasional breakouts but nothing major. In the beginning I had no major emotional, weight, or period issues. My periods are still very light and last about 5 days. After a few years my weight spiraled out of control and I ended up gaining about 45 pounds (from 122 to 160!) and also dealt with depression, anxiety, low energy/lethargy, and increased appetite. Every body is different which is why it is important to monitor your symptoms over YEARS. Things can change. I am now switching to a lower dose of hormones and seeing if there is a change."


"It's good for back problems."


"The extreme sleepiness and lack of efficacy ceased like a light switch - suddenly, after a couple of weeks of sleepy torture that didn't help at all, it WORKED for my depression and the sleepiness was GONE. I woke up one morning to find I could breath without the feeling of having my lungs filled with tar (one symptom of my depression).  I stayed on it for 2 years, and it alleviated my depression continuously while allowing me to feel like "myself."  However, it did make me hungry and I gained about 15 lbs.  Worth it.  When life improved, I tapered off, and have been fine ever since.  If you try it, give it a chance.  My doctor said 60% of his patients report a "light switch" experience with it."


"I have been using this drug for 2 years now. Every time I feel like I am starting a migraine, I take one pill and it kills it in no time. I have not gotten a single episode of migraine since I started to take this pill. It is magical. I used to have really bad migraines that made me vomit."


"I switched to this antibiotic after Levaquin gave me so many problems.  This did not improve.  It was pretty much nausea 24/7. The only thing that cured the nausea was eating - surprisingly.  But I had to constantly eat to keep it at bay."


"I have nothing but good things to say about this pill. The first time I was on it I started it in Feb of 2012 and stopped due to death of my mom in June 2012. My start weight was 210lbs and I am 5'6". When my mom passed I weighed  179lbs.  I was supposed to be on the meds until September so I lost 49lbs in 4 months and I felt awesome. Until that day in June where my world came crashing down. I just recently went back on the pill weighing in at 205lbs and now I am down to 191lbs. It is working a little slower the second time around but now I am a stay at home mom of three and haven't really been able to exercise since I have been on besides my regular running around after the kids.  No side effects."


"I love it!!! I hated taking birth control pills due to all the horrible side effects! When I first was given Aubra I read the reviews and it really made me not want to take them!! So I figured why not I have too see if I will be victim too. I suffer from PMS sooooo bad and mood swings. With this pill it was totally opposite from me!!! I don't have PMS Its like I'm the calmest person ever I can think with a clear head and I'm so much more happier!! No weight gain nothing different with acne I feel normal and great!! Im almost done with my second month and I pray everything stays this way!"


"Ive used this medication quite a few times in the past few years and it definitely always works. Sometimes one is not enough though but the 3 pill regimen always works when used as directed. Best part is that you can also drink alcohol on this and it will still work. No bad side effects or burning so far."


"I have had a mixed effect. It helps me to get to sleep but I have such vivid bad dreams I wake up.  I go back to sleep but the dreams start all over again and I repeat the cycle all night.  The next morning I feel tired and also very depressed because of the dream content.  I don't think it is worth the little bit of sleep I get."


"When I began Nexplanon in Oct. 2015, I was 10 months into breastfeeding my daughter (my second child). Nexplanon was the best fit for my busy life.  I had absolutely NO problems with it while I was breastfeeding. No acne, no bleeding, no weight gain, no mood swings, no pregnancy scares..PERFECT! That is until I weaned my daughter April 2016. As I dried up, I had INTENSE uterine pain for 2-3 week . I have continually bled since I weaned her. I have the worst mood swings, acne, tiredness and lack of sex drive. I wouldn't recommend this to ANYONE who isn't breastfeeding! My relationship has suffered greatly and my emotional instability has made parenting a challenge with two toddlers! Getting Nexplanon removed this week and never looking back!"


"I am mid 40s male and had chronic back pain, spondylosis and degenerative disc disease for the last 5 years to where it became impossible to hardly move without being in pain.  I am allergic to codeine so the doctors tried Vicodin.  I saw nothing with Vicodin except tiredness.  I was asked to try Percocet 5/325 in place of the Vicodin.  Not only has it helped make the pain manageable I actually had the desire to get out of the house and do things that I have not been able to do before taking it.  "


"So, I've tried multiple sleeping aids. Temazepam and trazadone gave me headaches. Benedryl, NyQuil, hydroxyzine increased my restless legs. Melatonin was insufficient at max recommended dosage. Ambien was by-far the best at 10mg, but because I'm only 27, the doctor doesn't want to prescribe an addictive medication (her words). So I'm on Lunesta. It has a horrible taste of pennies, but if you put it on the back of your tongue and let it slide down while drinking, it doesn't cause it. But DON'T take a drink and let it swish around, bc it will leave that metallic taste! My insurance doesn't cover mine, but my pharmacy offers a discount card so I pay $30. 1mg is useless, I have to take 3mg to get any sleep, but better than no sleep."


"I only had 2 shots then stopped but about 2 months after stopping, I started having constant bleeding and its been non-stop for almost 3 months and for me it's way more of a hassle than it's worth."


"I had a bad reaction to an anti-inflammatory misdiagnosed as bipolar and was put on this drug.  It causes psychoses in someone wrongly put on it."


"3 time taking this today....much better than a few others on the market....hopefully this will be the last for at least 2 years...wish me luck"


"Singulair causes symptoms in children that look like ADHD or ADD. It causes irritability, aggression, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in children. Before you treat your child for ADHD, try switching to an allergy or asthma medicine that isn't this or a corticosteriod"


"Lamictal gave me two ulcers, failed a drug screen for one of the best jobs around (said I had PCP in my system), debilitating headaches and gained an immense amount of weight. I was hospitalized for attempted suicide and my doc got mad when I weaned myself off. Having said that, I know lots of people that has had great success with it. I guess it all depends on the individual. Not all bipolar cases are the same."


"I have been on Depakote ever since I was diagnosed (finally) with bi-polar disorder. I am currently on 1000 MG per day, but have taken as high as 2000 MG per day. On 1000 MG per day I am (or have been somewhat stabilized, which leaves me somewhat hypo manic which seems to be the best level for me. I say somewhat stabilized because I started to go hyper manic in the past 2 weeks, have no idea why. Going to see doctor tomorrow).

For the 2 years or so when I was on 2000 per day I was also taking 40 MG per day of Paxil. My moods were stabilized all right, but I turned into a zombie.

I have never taken another mood stabilizer so I can not make comparisons. Depakote makes me gain weight big time!"


"This works well for a couple of years, then I had to switch to another medicine because Zoloft has become ineffective.  After a while on an alternate medicine I can return to Zoloft."


"I heard that the 7 day is better than the 3 day, but they were out. So I got the 3 day and figured it would be better than the 1 day. Got home, took a shower, dried off and prepared for relief. I was not prepared. I inserted the cream and got comfortable. Within 10 minutes the itching was 30000000000074 times worse than the YI. And the burning feels like salt on an open wound . I'm pretty tough and have a high pain tolerance. This is not pain. This makes me wish for death. This should be used for modern day torture purposes only. I have tried to get it all out, I've taken benadryl. This was a big mistake. I feel so stupid for not just asking my Dr. for Diflucan."


"This medicine mucked my mind up:. I took it five years ago for two months and it took my mind away from me. Be careful because it ruined who I was."


"HELLO world, Writing a review cause 'Im just like you scrolling thru, I wanted to share my experience with this medicine, first things first this DOES NOT work right away it takes about a month or two For me at least to kick in, so do not stop after like a week unless you have horrible side effects. I satrted from 20mg all the way to 100mg. Helps a lot with S.A , G.A.D and depression, and as well as Agoraphobia Panic attacks are gone, Still get anxious but a normal nervousness not overwhelming, no more crying spells.. This Medicine won't Cure Mental Illness but it definitely HELPS! %u2764%u2764%u2764%u2764" Give it a Try, & always keep ya head up! ! if it doesn't work you can always keep trying other SSRI's that will help your everyday life!"


"I had a horrible experience with this medication because I am sensitive and never took birth control before. I was waiting to get my period which is why I haven't started it. My bf and I had an accident and I went and took the pill 20 minutes after. The side effects have been horrible and have lasted for 5 days so far. Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, cramps. I was due for my period November 20th but haven't gotten it also due to other stress before I took this pill. I am not pregnant since I got a test and it automatically said negative. Please be careful if you're sensitive like me and take the extra precautions that you need. I never thought I would be put in this situation and it was a huge wakeup call. Take care of yourselves and stay safe"


"This pill started out as the greatest thing ever, no side effects! I was in good shape and weighed around 140lbs. I don't like periods so I always skipped it which my doctor said was completely okay. But after 6 months of taking it, it just went completely downhill. I gained about 25 pounds in the last 8 months of taking it! I didn't realize how much weight I had gained until I realized my shorts and jeans from the summer before didn't fit me anymore! I was completely disgusted after a picture I saw of myself and decide to get on a scale and I weighed 165! That was ridiculous for me! And I never thought how when I was on this birth control I was hungry.. ALL THE TIME! I recently got off it and lost 5 pounds in the 1st week!"


"This is the first review i have ever written , But this product defiantly deserved a review! I am 27 years old and have struggled with acne since i was 14 ! i have tried EVERYTHING!! I was dubious about trying another topical cream especially after reading the reviews on this product and reading all the horror story's of it breaking people out more ect, But i can honestly say straight from the begging it worked!, It started to clear everything up and clear my skin from the first use! no burning ect like everyone had mentioned. I would suggest applying a moisturizer on top of the cream to prevent dryness and flaking. But please do not be put off by the reviews as i almost was!."


"What a savior!  After enduring 6 months on Privigen (low trough level after).  Switched to Hizentra, more side effects and infections like I was on nothing, except the side effects were unbearable!  I'm on my second month of Cuvitru and had no idea that you could feel so well after an subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) replacement.   I have energy, my sinus infection is FINALLY getting better, almost zero side effects.  I love Cuvitru and it has changed my life!"


"Very dependable - works everytime once you learn how to inject properly.  Results start after 15 minutes and last up to almost 2 hours for me.  My wife and I love it!"


"Had a lot of cramping and fatigue but worked!"


"I have been a Type 2 diabetic since 2007.  I take Glipizide which is very effective at keeping my blood sugar levels down.  But everyday it gives me an upset stomach and diarrhea which has me miserable.  Just yesterday I had to stop what I was doing and rush home to the toilet.  Horrible!  Just imagine having terrible stomach pains and diarrhea everyday!  It wasn%u2019t until recently that I realized this was a side effect of the Glipizide.  I thought it was from foods containing Gluten that I have been eating.  I had tried Metformin and that is just as bad.  I%u2019m in the process of asking my doctor if there is something else I can take that won%u2019t upset my stomach so much.  Right now I%u2019m in between jobs but need to get back to work!  It%u2019s hard to"


"Helped with RA  It has affected my vision immensely.  So much, that I stopped taking it."


"I have been taking minimum dosage for about a year. Every day I have flutters/flopping about an hour before and after dosing.  I have not had other side effects but cannot figure out if I am experiencing maximum efficacy.  Fortunately, I don't have severe atrial fibrillation episodes."


"Dear golly this stuff works well"


"Since my last child 5 years ago my body has been all out of whack piling on the weight, late periods or none at all for months on end, no matter how much I dieted and exercised the weight would not come off. My doctor diagnosed me with depression at first and took bloods to find out I had polycystic ovarian syndrome. I have been prescribed two 500mg doses a day of metformin and at first had quite a bad stomach upset for approximately the first 3 weeks. I am now rolling into my 5th week and feel great. The weights slowly coming off and the side effects are non existent now. Hoping to conceive a child soon if things go to plan."


"The people who are rating this medication lower than an 8 aren't taking it properly. This is an amazing medication when taken properly. You really have to take this medication AT YOUR BEDTIME. You cannot take it and then expect to get a good nights sleep while watching tv, going through Facebook on your phone for 2 hours or any other activity like that, you need to take it literally right before you plan to go to bed. Temazepam 22.5mg has worked wonders for my insomnia it has helped me to regain a good nights sleep which I was no longer experiencing anymore."


"as soon as I Found and Finished this 156.00 bottle of medicine, I had the same symptoms.  My eyes pain and Headache I ended up in the ER with a bill over 1500.00 (ins applied to deductable) and back with the same problem within 2 weeks.  The ER Dr alone charged me 899.00 and was not participitating in my insurance plan even though the hospital that I specifically went to did.  Very frustrating.  Back to square one.  Why are these drops SO expensive??"


"I was on this pill for two months, by the end of it I couldn't stand it anymore. I also felt a lot of anxiety and was very irritable. I also noticed a huge decline in sex drive and acne increased a lot. I found myself getting irritated for no reason a lot of the time. I am very happy I stopped taking it."


"This pill made me crazy. My emotions were very unpleasant. I suffered from mild depression and overall stress and anxiety. This pill also made me gain a bit of weight along with more serious period pain. "


"Propofol was amazing. When I was in the operating room and the nurse injected Propofol in my arm and told me to go ahead and close my eyes, so I did and then I decided to open eyes and I was already in recovery room. I cannot recall being falling asleep."


"Never found it to help with my chronic pain (due to a variety of pain issues); although, it does seem to keep my depression under control now @ 60 MG per day, without any side effects after 5+ yrs."


"Only thing that helped my scalp"


"I promised myself that if this worked I would write a review because I stressed hardcore. I'm 18 years old and my boyfriend (19) and I had sex with a condom and it broke. We didn't know it broke until after he finished. I was also ovulating at the time. Talk about bad luck, so we instantly left and went to our local store and got the pill. I took it around an hour after it happened. It is a powerful pill with a lot of side effects, but they're all worth it if you don't want a baby just yet. Got my period a couple days early about a week after taking the pill."


"Made me very sleepy so it must be taken at night"
