"I have spent a lot of time reading threads on Prozac. They have all been very helpful during these past few months so I thought I should share my own experiences just in case anyone out there might find it helpful.  I started Prozac 20mg about 2 months ago.  I always knew I had anxiety and mild depression and was always curious about taking anti-depressants. But when my boyfriend and I broke up I literally went to my PsycDoc the very next day. I had done my research on AD’s and thought that Prozac would be the best for me. My Doc agreed. I kept a log every single day I took Prozac starting from Day #1 until Day #30.  It took 24 days before I started feeling little random bursts of happiness. But up until day #24 it was pure torture. It hurt to smile, I completely lost my appetite, I could not sleep, I was sad, I experienced soooo much anxiety is was painful. But thanks to reading all these threads I did not give up and was hopeful that things will get better just as everyone said it will. Every day after Day #24 just seemed to have gotten better and better. And on Day #30, it finally hit me and I understood what Prozac is all about. Yes it is true that it is a life saver. If I had to put it in just two words to explain how I feel on Prozac I would have to say “Calm” and “Clear”. But I’m not finished just yet… after a few weeks I started feeling like the 20mg wasn’t really working. So my Doc increased my dose to 40mg. this time around I almost gave up and went back to 20mg, but thankfully I did not. For 3 weeks of taking 40mg I was soooo tired, fatigue and lethargic. I did not experience this on 20mg. and I was constantly hungry too. So after week #3 I called my Doc so I can make an appointment to go back down to 20mg. he was out of town so I had to wait. When his office called me back to schedule me in, the awful side effects of 40mg were gone and I was back to feeling clear, calm and happy again. So here is my own personal advice from my own journey with Prozac… I’ve been on it for a little over 2 months. You have to get worse before you get better. No matter what you think, YOU WILL GET BETTER. Prozac is literally reprogramming and rewiring your brain and that TAKES TIME. Side note: I’m 31 years old and ex-boyfriend and I are back together and happy.  So were all those days of torture worth it? It sure was."


"My 5 year old was put on Kerydin due to 2 toenails having fungus. The fungus had been growing for the past year so it had gotten bad. After 6 months of zero improvement I asked her dermatologist for a different medication and he put her on Fluconazole for 30 days. Within 2 weeks we started seeing new toenail growth that was fungus free and her old toenail fell off. Within 30 days both toenails were finally fungus free! I would not recommend Kerydin."


"I am currently prescribed 20mg once daily.  I still feel anxious at random times but it is much more controlled. The depression is what is concerning. I feel doom and gloom over what I rationally know is a trivial matter at least once a month. I feel like dying half the time."


"I've been on Topamax before and it worked and went off I don't know why. I recently went back on it and it has made a world of difference. It's like night and day. I take it with Abilify and Xanax because I have really bad anxiety also. I am 24 and was so depressed I wasn't leaving my apartment but now I feel like a new person like I want to go out and do things again. I'm not held back. I like that this medicine doesn't make me gain weight too because I've had that problem in the past, I lost 10 pound since I went back on it 4 weeks ago. The only thing I will say that is not great is it slows down my thought process sometimes and it gives me tingles in my hands and face but not all the time. The benefits outweigh those side effects greatly."


"I was quick to anger, severe mood swings would yell at my kids for the slightest things. I was ready to punch anybody that would make me mad and( it didn't take much!) I started with Cymbalta 30mg and I noticed a slight difference I was increased to 60 mg and I felt the change right away. I'm so calm and I'm back to being a happy mom. I take it at night because it would get me sleepy during the day if I take in the morning some of the side effects I've experienced have been dry mouth, lack of appetite, hot flashes, tiredness! I love this medicine it has changed my life. The relationship with my children is much much better too. I no longer have crying spells and I'm a much nicer person. Try Cymbalta."


"A miracle drug for my depression!!!"


"My doctor just put me on this, 10mg at night, and I have woken up with a bad migraine each morning after I've taken the pill. I don't know if I should continue."


"Have been on the tablets for four days. Fourth night had start of an ache in the groin area, this progressed to being constant and traveling down back of my legs. Ache on lower back, felt like pelvic area about to fall out. Still in pain some nine hours later. Even tried sex to alleviate it but unable to attain erection (thought that was the idea of the tablets). No sleep as such so no tablet tonight..... Will try after weekend, maybe!!!."


"This drug is highly addictive and due to it being short-acting, it is nearly impossible to wean off of this drug in a conventional manner. It is very effective in relieving anxiety, but should not be taken for any extended period of time or you will be hooked into an agonizing withdrawal. To get off of this short-acting drug without the painful withdrawal, switch to a long acting benzo like diazepam that is available in multiple and larger doses and can be cut into smaller amounts to wean off gradually."


"At first I was relaxed on it now I'm hyper. I've only been on it for a few days. So the effects of this medicine are slow...how do you feel on it ?"


"I got my liletta nearly four months ago to the day (12/8/16). Despite a rough start things seem to be levelling out now and I'm pretty pleased with it.

 Insertion definitely hurt, but if you take some ibuprofen prior to it the pain shouldn't leave you too miserable. I already had really heavy, painful periods so my first period on it was a special sort of hell. I also had weird, intermittent spotting and cramping for the first 2-3 months, but by March things started to lighten up. Cramps can now be treated with an  in-pants heating pad and my flow is but a trickle. I reckon my period will stop altogether within the next few months.

If you can tough out the rough start it's worth it! Doesn't last as long as the others but still gets it done!"


"I never had cysts, just mild breakouts and comedonal acne on my forehead and BARELY on my cheeks or on my chin. I can't believe how much I took my skin for granted. I asked my pediatrician for a medication to help my skin before freshman year. Wow. My doctor gave me epiduo and by 8 weeks I knew epiduo wasn't working for me. I had cystic acne on my cheeks, which I've literally never had before in my life. it wasn't something I've ever been used to. My right cheek, which used to be the worst, it literally completely cleared after this 12 weeks, BUT I paid the price. my purge period was 5 times worse than everyone else's, and much longer. I had about 7-9 cysts on my freaking cheek at a time. Try it out. I have much clearer skin but I paid for it"


"I've been taking this for two months and hate it. My periods have been extremely worse than the ones I had before the pill. Plus I'm spotting every. single. week. In addition, I am so nauseous, lower sex drive, and very moody. I forgot to take this pill one night and felt way better the next day. I took the pill that night, and started feeling sick again immediately. I thought I've had a flu bug, but I think it's the effects of this medication!"


"I have been on Microgestin Fe for about 4 months. I got on it because I was getting the depo every 3 months and I stopped shedding my lining completely. So my Dr put me on this. It has its pros and cons. My biggest problem is how sore and tender my breasts get. Lately I've experienced nausea normally at night. My periods come with very heavy cramping. All though it has protected me from pregnancy which is an upside. This pill just is not for me."


"I started Chantix on 4-17-2014 and since 4-27-14 I have not smoked a cigarette in 5 whole days! Not even a drag. I feel like I have no desire to smoke but there are times where I do crave one and think to myself, I went this long without one or a drag so why ruin it, then I forget about it. I do miss smoking but its better for the long run. I am about to turn 27 and have been smoking for 15yrs. I did experience some constipation and a few times felt nauseous but as long as you eat before and definitely drink as much water as you can. I was hesitant on taking this medication because of the side effects, especially the dreams. I have not had any terrible dreams, I have been dreaming more but I enjoy them, they are very vivid. I recommend Chantix."


"I've spent 11 months on Camrese and it's been great.  No period, my acne and mood swings were under control.  I had occasional spotting, and over the course of the past year I've gained 10 lbs (with no other lifestyle changes), which are the only reasons I will be discussing changing medication with my doctor."


"Worse drug ever.  Terrible groggy feeling next day. I usually take ambien 10 mg however since manufacturers have changed 2 North Star desperately I was seeking something else unfortunately this is definitely not the answer the next day you will feel like you've been run over by a train, depressed and unable to accomplish anything!!! Terrible stuff,  warning do not resort to this garbage. ..it is just horrible.  These are going straight in the trash, I'm going back to ambien tonite,  at least w northstar , when u finally do go to sleep,  you wake up refreshed!!!!!"


"Please be careful. After being on this high estrogen based pill, I am 36 and just diagnosed with breast cancer. The non hormonal IUD would probably be better. Having ten kids would be better."


"I have been on the pain patch, but it gave me such headaches. Been on hysingla for a few months at night I take it. I only sleep 4/5 hours a night. When it works it's amazing."


"I have had horrible daily migraines along with neck pain and a doctor prescribed 10mg 3x a day or as needed. It doesn't work every time but it has been so far the most effective for me personally. Compared to the other drugs I have been prescribed, this has the least amount of side effects. The neurologist was surprised this drug was effective for my headaches."

"I got Implanon in November of 2010 and have had if for 6 months now. So far I love it. I haven't had a period in about 3 months, although I still get some mild cramping and moodiness. I was on the pill for about a year prior to getting Implanon and it made me miserable so I was glad when someone suggested Implanon. The only thing that bothers me about it is the location in my arm because I constantly hit it at work on accident and it causes a little pain sometimes. Also I do have a small scar where they inserted it."


"I have had hives a few times now. I just got done with a horrible case from penicillin. Took prednisone for several days.  Some hives appear in the morning. Now I control with one Zyrtec per day. It works for me. No side effects. Great product."


"I liked how focused it made me however if I was agitated it made it worse"


"Started Saxenda on 4/21/17 with a starting weight of 228lbs at 5'7". So far only lost 1.5lbs.  Just increased my dose today to 1.2mg.   I'm not as hungry and do not have any urges to over eat or look for sweets.  It does make you thirsty.   I'm having faith and being optimistic that it will get better.   So far side effects include nausea and headache."


"Gained about 10 pounds taking this birth control, and I have never gained weight in my life. It helped with my periods which is why I switched to it but made me break out more. Also I took one pill about six hours too late and got pregnant. Do not recommend"


"Purchased the Monistat 1 Maximum Strength. This was my 1st time experiencing a YI so I didn't realize I'd had it until 6wks after giving birth. Apparently it was another side effect of giving birth that wasn't explained to me. I just thought it was normal & would naturally stop on it's own until the common sense part of my brain thought that the itching & pain seemed abnormal. I told my GYN of my concern & was prescribed a pill that was suppose to rid my body of the YI within 3 days but it only stopped the discharge. So I then started looking up over the counter meds & came across Monistat. So far, I'm so happy I did. I feel sooooooo much better. No burning, no more itching. I recommend."


"Worked well"


"I had my period for 59 days.  Although it is nice not to have to remember to take a pill everyday, it is not worth it to have your period for this amount of time. I'm getting it taken out today."

"I take Lyrica for seizures and Fibromyalgia.  The side effects are tremendous and I have had a hard time adjusting.  True enough I have had no more seizures however, frequently, I am unable to consentrate or think with any lever of clarity."


"I got the Paraguard inserted in Taiwan, when I met my now husband. I'm giving a one star review because I got pregnant, lucky us right.. Anyways, not a successful form of birth control for us and we had to deal with what to do while both of us are expats living abroad, ultimately the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage which is pretty common after having the IUD removed. Just a shitty situation and I wouldn't recommend this IUD to others.. We asked the doctor how this could have happened, as we regularly get it checked to make sure it's in place, and he said we both must be ultra fertile. We have switched to the hormonal IUD so we'll see how that works for us-- apparently it's more effective."


"I've been almost 3 years taking 30mg. Initially, it was sporadical. Now I just need it daily to function properly. Until one year ago I took Lexapro 10 mg   Xanax 1 or 2 mg/day. Now I had to increase Xanax to 4mg per day and sometimes Rohypnol to try to get some sleep. I feel really depressed and it's getting worse, also easily angry, that didn't occur when I took Lexapro but my psychiatrist didn't think it was necessary to take it any longer. I have to make major efforts to overcome suicidal thoughts. Have awful tremors and recently a unusual chest pain."


"I've been taking Tenuate for 6 months. I'm very pleased with results, I've dropped 4 dress sizes and 30lbs.  One thing I've found to be the key to my success, is working out and making sure I eat enough calories. I only want to lose 17lbs more pounds and I'm keeping "the faith", that I will accomplish my goal."


"The absolute worst. I  was nauseated the entire time on it followed by the worst headaches of my life. My other half thought I was dying due to having no energy. Don't use this product."


"This medication has almost gotten rid of my anxiety. I was suffering for 2 years till I decided to go on medication. My doctor put me on 20mg of paroxatine and I noticed a difference in 2 weeks. I was able to go to the shops without feeling like I was going to have a panic attack. I've been on it for 6 months now and I can eat out in public sometimes which is a huge step for me as I was too scared to even think about food before. I would reccomend this to anyone who is desperate to get out of their anxiety. I feel so much happier and can enjoy life so much more now. The only problem I have with this medication is it has made me gain 20kg of weight! I'm trying hard to lose it but it is very hard to lose."


"Just started taking this for depression/anxiety, so far, so good. The first few days, I could definitely feel the stimulant effect, but on day 5, I can barely feel anything. Obviously, it's too early to tell how it will help with anxiety/depression. I had just a hint of a headache, but nothing bad enough to even take anything for. No real trouble sleeping. I will be increasing the 150mg to 300mg (twice daily) Saturday, so I'm sure there will be another adjustment period then. I've heard it's important to take the second dose fairly early in the afternoon (around 3 or 4), so it doesn't keep you up. At first, I did not think this would work with my anxiety, but it's mostly gone due to my body adjusting."


"As far as acne treatments go that are effective AND affordable Bactrim is a God send. Late 20's I started mildly breaking out. By age 30 I was getting deep painful cystic pimples. Running/ exercising especially made my condition worse. Bactrim DS improves acne within 24 hours.The redness and swelling is not near as noticeable. After about a week you will notice a close to clear complexion that almost glows...I had moderate acne, but I imagine that Bactrim will work for ppl who have severe acne as well. It does have serious internal esp on kidneys and liver bc it is a sulfa drug so you should drink a lot of water every day with this medicince. Do not drink alcohol while taking Bactrim, good luck!"


"i start to use Xenical Oristat 1 month ago.And trust me there is result.i`ve lost 3 kg.At the same time i can enjoy my favourite meals,plus aweets,chocolates whatever.i dont go to gym.just take pills 3 times with your meal that`s it.good luck."


"Benzaclin worked amazingly for me.  I used it for 10 years before it stopped working.  My Dr. prescribed an 2 oral meds plus Retin-A, and my skin is terrible.  I wish there was a stronger version of Benzaclin available or something like it that I could switch to when it's effectiveness wears off."


"I used to take an oral contraceptive years ago but went to the IUD after having my child. When I had the IUD removed I was offered Taytulla. I waited until I had my first cycle to start taking it. It was fine for the first few days but then I bled for the rest of the first pack. I started the second pack as scheduled. I got through 2 weeks with zero bleeding and then was 37 minutes late taking it and started to bleed again the next day. On top of that, I have been very short tempered and irritable more often than not which is not my personality at all. Since I was bleeding anyhow, I decided to discontinue using it. I would not recommend this to anyone."


"I have been on Latuda 80mg for almost 2 months for bipolar. I can't function. It has made me more depressed than ever and I wasn't even depressed in the first place. All I had was really bad anger. Doctor told me I am bipolar???? I use to be happy and full of energy. Now I can't get out of bed."


"It gives you terrible pains but helps"


"I wanted to rate this an 8.5.  Not sure why.  I have tried numerous medications for the past 15 years with many side effects or no effectiveness.  Wellbutrin XL(300 mg) seems to work best for me. I have a lot more energy now where I was sleeping all weekend before.  I can live with my side effects at this point.  My appetite isn't very good but on the positive, I have lost weight and feel better about myself.  I now have trouble sleeping, my heart rate has increased usually about 7 hours after I take it causing anxiety symptoms, sometimes my head is a little foggy and my memory recall is slow but I will accept these because of the energy and ability for me to now accomplish what I wasn't able to before."


"If I could give this pill less than a "1", I WOULD. I was switched to this pill by my OBGYN after I was told that the LoEstrin24FE I was previously taking was now Minastrin24FE. I was on the Loestrin for over 4 years with zero problems and zero side effects. Then the lovely Minastrin came in to my life and I immediately began to bloat and put on weight like I never had before. I have always been fairly lean for my height because I eat strict paleo and do crossfit approximately 4-5 times per week. EVEN WITH KEEPING ALL OF MY SAME HABITS I HAVE GAINED 10LBS. The weight gain, on top of the bloating, is more than enough for me to stop taking this pill because I would rather deal with the pain of endometriosis than deal with this weight gain."


"1mg of alprazolam XR at night and sleep like a baby. No side effects, no need to increase the dose. It's a wonder medicine for me because I can't stop my mind racing. But this does."


"This product didn't make the slightest difference, a total waste of money. I won't be buying it again."


"Taking 300mg Wellbutrin XR, and it is already working after only one week.  I have good energy, and do not feel like hiding in my room anymore.  It gives me a floating feeling a little bit, but absolutely tolerable compared to the horrible depression I was experiencing.  I am bipolar, and have experienced no mania at all.  I am grateful for this med!"


"I started Genvoya after being on ATRIPLA since 2007.  I wish I would've switched sooner to at least Stribild.  I hated the "drunk/high" feeling I got for hours after I took ATRIPLA.  I switched at the beginning of March.  The only downside I've had was the first two days I really didn't sleep very well (maybe only 2 hours each night.  Also my ears would have sharp pains for those two days.  Now I feel great!  I don't have to freak out if I have to drive during the day because it doesn't make me high.  I take my new little pill with breakfast and I LOVE it!  Oh another plus is it's about 1/3rd the size of ATRIPLA!"


"Having Heart Failure(E/F 20%) and edema and no longer able to take lisinopril my doctor put me on this. My edema has improved dramatically and it is proven to help extend the life of patients with CHF. The bad part is this medicine has horrible side effects for men and I have exhibited some. I believe it will help extend my life (I am 53) so I continue to take it."


"After trying many things, such as chewing gum, patches, hypnosis etc., to stop smoking, I took zyban in June 2000. Before the end of the course I had stopped craving cigarettes and became a non-smoker. It took 9 days and I had no side effects at all. It was the best thing I'd ever done."


"I have had restless leg syndrome all my life. I can remember when I was about 5 or 6 telling my mom my feet tickle...didn't know how else to explain it at that age. Today I am 39 yrs old and am only alive because of Mirapex. My RLS has become so severe that without this medication I would not sleep. One time I was without my medication and was up for 3 days straight. Ended up in the emergency room many times when I didn't have any medication just to get some form of relief. I currently take Mirapex 1mg at night, but sometimes will have to take a half during the day. My RLS will bother me mid afternoon at times and when it's really bad will go into my hands and forearms. I am eternally grateful for Mirapex despite the side effects of nausea, tired and weak."


"I started this medication in an attempt to clear my moderate hormonal acne. Unlike others, I did not have an initial breakout, in fact my skin started to clear up immediately as I began taking it. I am now on my second month in and other than my skin clearing up I have not experienced any other side effects. I highly recommend this birth control and have only positive things to say about it. Not only did it help improve my self esteem and acne but it has also regulated my periods."


"This makes month 3 for me on Aviane and so far so good! I'm taking this to prevent pregnancy and to regulate my period. I had taken Yaz before but then had some side effects so I switched. For the most part, my period is consistent."


"I took plan b in December of 2016, I was lucky I didn't end up pregnant. I had just finished my period before intercourse. The condom broke, being my age this was the scariest thing ever. My boyfriend went to the near by pharmacy the next morning. A whole 11 hours later. In the whole week I took two plan b. Bad move but it calmed my nerves. Throughout the whole week I experienced headaches, some depression, cramps, and changed eating habits. I couldn't eat, focus on college work, talk to anyone. All I did was cry and stress myself out. Any girls who are my age going through this remember I was in your place and it worked for me. Reading the positive comments about plan b helped me tremendously. Just remember to stay calm, it's gonna be okay. :)"


"Absolutely no relief from my cough whatsoever. "


"I have had diagnosed migraines for about 16 years, have tried many different doctors and medications. I just couldn't believe a pain horrible enough to cause vomiting & wanting to stop living was randomly daignosed as "migraine". No known cause or cure! Headaches put me down for two solid days and were sometimes twice per week. No life!!!

 I was prescribed Sumatriptan 100mg tablets & OMG, miraculous!!! Take one at the onset of headache & its gone in around 20 minutes. Tightness in shouldes, chest quickly passes. My life has been changed by this medication, I am so thankful!!! I have no other side affects, alert & able to go about my life/job. YAAAYYYY!!"


"This pill got the job done."


"I was prescribed 25 mg of Zoloft (sertraline) and only took two doses to find myself having the worst restless legs to the point where I can't sleep. DO NOT take this. This side effect will last 5 days after stopping taking it."


"I have always been very sensitive to medications and found after surgeries that the only one tolerated was Dilaudid.  Years of back pain, fibromyalgia and migraines were treated with ibuprofen and acetaminophen. I found I had cancer and the Dilaudid stopped working as soon as it started working, so my doctor suggested I try methadone.  I was surprised because I thought that was for heroin addicts.  I had no idea it was a pain reliever.  Now I can go 7 hours between doses and I don't feel nausea or high from it.  I now realize that people who use illegal drugs to relieve chronic pain should reconsider how methadone could save their lives."


"Since I got pregnant with my daughter while I was on the pill and  then got pregnant with my son well on the depo shot. I decided to take this IUD, it is the worse birth control EVER. I'd rather just get pregnant over and over again, I had weight gain, depression lots of pain. Since getting it out I have been doing 95% better with  my depression, I have no pain, I've lost weight with out trying (6pounds) but I have no period for the last 2 1/2 months with no pregnancy and I had a period while I was on this IUD. So don't get it  unless you Want a messed up body."


"I am a 28 year old female and I have struggled with acne for as long as I can remember. I get several cysts a few times a month which always seem to scar. After discussing this with a new doctor, I was prescribed Aczone. I have tried almost every other cream on the market. I use Aczone every night after washing my face. Within the first few weeks my acne got worse. My doctor did warn me of this. She told me to not give up and to give it 3 months minimum. By the end of the first month, my skin had improved significantly. I have used Aczone for 5 months now and I have not had a single cyst or breakout. The medication is a bit pricey so I recommend getting a coupon. I highly recommend it to any female with hormonal cystic acne. Great product."


"Very effective for relieving muscle spasms with the only side effect being drowsiness."


"Out of nowhere I got extremely depressed and had horrible anxiety! I was horrified.. I even had to quit my job. I went to the doctor so many times, I just knew something was horribly wrong. I had blood work done, urine tests, Ct scan on my stomach and MRI on my brain.. After ALL of that came back normal..I knew it was anxiety/depression. I tried celexa 20 at first but it made me so weak I quit taking it.. the doctor switched me to Zoloft and it gave me my life back. It took about 4 weeks to fully feel like myself again. I want you to know if you're reading this searching for answers..I was once you and I turned to these forums to help me. The Zoloft made me nauseous but it goes away, the side effects go away. HANG IN THERE. I'm on 25mg."


"I've only been on Levemir, 12 units for about a week and I feel like I'm going to die. I take it at 9 everynight, yet my blood sugar first thing in the morning was still 154. We try and keep it under 140. Before it was usually under 200. My last A1C was 7.2  I'm so tired, very weak, can only walk for 10 yards without stopping to rest.  My heart pounds too. I called my endo doc and he now wants to supplement it with Novolog, to control meal spikes. Now I'm afraid to take it because it may make me feel even worse. I've been so careful with what I eat and have lost 7 pounds, but I feel like garbage. Any ideas, anyone?? Have I just not been on Levemir long enough for my body to adapt?"


"Topamax made my migraines worse - more often, more pain, more nausea, stronger auras, and longer lasting."


"I generally suffer from bipolar, anxiety and some form of psychosis, the delusions from psychosis caused most of my anxiety and I had to be put on Wellbutrin, risperodone, and klonopin. With this medication my simptoms of psychosis are much better relieved and I was able to withdraw from using klonopin all the time to control my anxiety. I found what I needed."


"Had two doses over many years.  At 15 / 16 my skin was masked by spots and only a little could be seen around my eyes and in addition I suffered with cold sores breaking out all around my lips.  Ugly was the only way I felt.  So it was a Dr Freshwater in Chester who prescribed the first time after a very tearful consultation in approximately  1975/1976.

The result was amazing and it gave me my confidence to go out and comments about my skin stopped.

However the spots came back again in my early 40's - so off to the docs again and private this time with a Dr Lister in Wrexham and a lot more rigid processes to be checked.  Again the course cleared my spots.

Side effects were dry lips and facial skin that was easily managed with creams."


"Dosage: 300mg 3 times a day

So far, this med seems to be very effective in reducing pain in my shoulder and arm, with few side effects. Although it makes me a little tired, I also seem to get good sleep while taking it.

An MRI showed a bone spur on my 6th vertebra. A nerve test showed damage at the 5th vertebra. I'm currently scheduled for surgery -- the pain suddenly spiked and had me popping Vicodin all day. I started taking Gabapentin at that point. Over the next two weeks, I was able to phase out all Vicodin except one in the morning. (If I didn't take that one, it just kept barking all day until I gave in.)

After two more weeks, I was able to stop taking the Vicodin entirely. I may now postpone the surgery and try physical therapy"


"Contracted when I was 19 through intravenous drug use.  Never had treatment before. Harvoni cured me.

 Just found out today after a 90 day treatment and waiting 3 1/2 months after last treatment"


"We used Malarone during our trip in Tanzania. To tell the truth, we were afraid of some bad comments about this drug. In fact, nothing happened to us. We were taking Malarone every day after our breakfast, so as to avoid an upset stomach. I think that, for malaria, Malarone is a very safe and without serious side effects."


"I'm on SSD because of severe Social Anxiety Disorder, Bi-polar Disorder II with panic, and OCD.  I've run the gamut with benzos and frankly, am better off without them.  They're too addicting.  Vistaril is a nice alternative.  It's milder and is about 75% as effective as say, Klonopin or Ativan.  It works for me."


"Methadone save my life I keep money in my pocket and have not missed a day of work since on methadone"


"I had the Nexplanon inserted about eight months ago. I did plenty of research before, so I knew what to expect in the first few months, as far as bleeding/spotting, headaches, etc. Without birth control, I went through about five ultra tampons on an average period day. When my "period" came around on the Nexplanon, it was barely anything (light enough to wear a pantyliner while at work without needing to change it). I thought I finally found the perfect birth control. However, the last three or four months, I've had a constant period, with a couple of days here and there with nothing. It's terrible. And although it isn't as heavy as it used to be, it's heavier than it was when I started Nexplanon"


"Been combating nausea for a while, doc gave me reglan to try out (pill form). I think I had to pay for it out of my own pocket, it was quite expensive for a 42-pill box (14 days worth, 3 pills per day)

I took one pill. felt weird, a bit shaky, but nausea went away. Later that day I took the second pill, started feeling sleepy, more shaky, couldn't sit still. I didn't really connect it to the pills so later I took the third pill and I think I went crazy when it kicked in. Very anxious and "I want out of this" feeling.

I would never take this drug again. I'd rather throw up."


"Pros: felt great quickly, kept me fairly level for a few years before poopout.

Cons: SEVERE withdrawal and ANGER and AGITATION. Upon reflection, the past 3 years on Paxil were also filled with inappropriate anger to the point of rage, uncontrollable outbursts that I've never experienced before. I isolated my loved ones, lost my partner and became a recluse as I feared my emotions. Didn't realize this until I reconnected with loved ones. Gained 40 lbs, despite a healthy diet and exercise. Joint pain, muscle loss. Yuck.

Had to switch to Lexapro to come off this drug, and lead an antihistamine/anti inflammatory diet (huge contributors to mood disorders--eye opening discovery). It smoothed out the ride but I still suffered "Paxil Rage"."


"It helped with the migraine but I experienced terrible anxiety!"


"I have had the implant for 3 months and I hate it. The first month I bleed for 10 days heavy like a period, and then started the next period 20 days later.  Everytime me and my baby's father had sex I'd bleed for two to three days and if I got upset I'd bleed. The next month I had a period 15 days apart, and when we had sex or if I got upset the same thing. This month the same. I find myself having to wear a pad or liner most days. The hate it and plan on having it removed asap. My sister who has the it also has the same problem. I feel like I'm bleeding constantly and she has the same complaint, we are both getting it removed."


"I'm diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Have only scalp issues and joint swellings and pain in legs, knees, ankles, hand and fingers. Got approved for Enbrel and did 2 weeks ago the first shot. All went well other than I got a cough, night sweat and high blood pressure which it controlled. The second shot gave me a small red stain after 3 days of the size of a quarter which grew to the size my hand palm within a day. My cough is like crazy and my throat itchy. Blood pressure high... I went to the doctor who told me I have to get off I'm allergic to it and a next shot could be life threatening. Benadryl did not help, I got 20 mg Prednisone and it's slightly got better with the redness and pain. I will be changed to Humira."


"I take 7.5mg a day for schizophrenia, I have only been on this medicine for 5 weeks but it has helped me immensely with both negative and positive symptoms. I have gained weight but its a small price to pay for some peace of mind, honestly couldn't be more grateful for this medicine."


"I have been on Suboxone now for 3 years.  I have never relapsed, nor have I ever had any cravings.  I was addicted to pain pills.  Started out by getting a script after an accident.  It immediately gave me energy and made me happy (at first) before I knew it I was completely addicted.  If I did not have it I went into withdrawals and I had to take it to feel normal or even get out of bed.  This went on for 7 years.  Suboxone gave me my life back.  I do not get a buzz, I feel normal.  I would not have been able to do this without Suboxone and my wonderful Doctor. "


"I had been on Ortho-Tri cyclen for over ten years which worked great for me. I lost my insurance 2 years ago & my Dr put me on Trinessa. I have always had bad acne even in my 30's & on Ortho. Trinessa has totally cleared up my face!!! I feel so attractive now! I do have depression & am on medication for that. I have not had any bad side effects from Trinessa. The only thing (which is minor to me) is that I sometimes spot a tiny bit in between periods but not every month. My boobs also become tender during my period but they haven't grown :( Overall, I LOVE Trinessa!!!"


"The only problem I have with it is lose of appetite."


"This is my 3rd time being on this med.  For me it runs it course after a few years and I have to get on a different med. I  am highly sensitive to meds of this type. This is day 4 of being on it again. Very low dose of 25 mg.  I am to be on this for 6 days and then suppose to bump up to 50 mg. Just don't think I will bump up this soon. This med has been truly a lifesaver once again for me. I had been under high stress for a  month and a half and it just kept getting worse.  Went back to dr and I asked him to put me back on Zoloft, generic version. He agreed.  Very thankful for this med. Not quite back to my old self yet but very close. Minor side effects that I tolerate well. Please give this a try. This drug has been around for many years."


"I am fighting constant itching on arms. I can't stop itching. is this common"


"My insurance refused to pay for my oseni they told my Dr to try januvia. During the first 7 days I developed a constant cough along with upper stomach pain and diarrhea I stopped med and symptoms ceased, started back on meds yesterday and severe stomach pain returned along with diarrhea. Stopping this med for good - it's not good for me, the side affects are  too painful."


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


"I have taking Triumeq for two weeks now after I completely stopped taking any meds for 4 months.  My viral load was at 80,000 and in about two weeks I have a doctor's appt to recheck my general numbers again.  Unfortunately, I have had several side effects from insomnia, bloating, stomach pains,  fatigue, and dizziness. I'm hoping that as the weeks go by my body will become acustom to Triumeq and lessen my side effects.  As per paying goes, my co pay was suppose to be $100, however the staff at my drug store introduce me to a coupon from the makers of Triumeq and the maker is covering my copay! I will update my comment one I've visited with my doctor. ..namaste"


"Raynaud's primary syndrome diagnosed 1997. Nothing happened until 2011 when I had a blood clot in my left calf. My toes started to turn purple and hospital had decided to amputate my L leg 3" below knee. I went online and found Nifedipine XL. Had my Dr order it for me and in 2 weeks it calmed my pain in foot so it healed. All the skin peeled off with some toe nails and today I'm on 60mg once daily. Now, I've noticed that whenever my body has a stressful event-migraine chronic (botox) helps so much. But, when I do get  a migraine that happens when my next shot is close to due date (every 3 months) I'll get an aura with migraine and my Raynauds will kick in more with the itching at first. Don't scratch-running water over it."


"BUY THIS MEDICINE! I have struggled with acne for as long as I can remember and I am about to turn 17. I have tried every acne treatment out there including Proactive, which I hate to death. It burned my skin horriably ans left it peeling dry. Acezone makes my skin feel 100times better the morning after I wake up. No burning, Drying, Itching, and will clear you're face fast. I also have Rosashe so I used another cream on top of the Acezone that worked perfectly together."


"I started the titration pack and am now on the full recommended dose of 50 mg twice a day - this is not working for me - I have insomnia, I wake up all night long, still have muscle pain, restless leg  at night, stiffness, leg swelling, headaches, grouchy and irritable. I have not experienced any stomach problems nor constipation. Not sure about the blurred vision being caused by this medication, as I have just been diagnosed with beginning stages of cataracts, so it could be that. I am on week 3 now. I am very disappointed. I was on Effexor for years and it worked for 7 years, but then stopped being effective. I pray for something to come along to help."


"They gave me this medication in combination with Klonopin when I was in the hospital. It calmed me down right away, but it gave me the shakes and made me gain weight--from 115 to 130. Seroquel made me gain weight from 130-145, so now I hope the next medication is going to counteract all of this. Best of luck."


"I started this to help deal with a drug I was on for epilepsy and it sure made my life better."


"I have struggled with depression since I was a teenager and always assumed it would go away on its own. After someone close to me passed, I hit rock bottom. I was depressed, anxious, couldn't sleep, etc. Talked to my doctor and he prescribed this for my depression and anxiety. Besides making me apathetic I have been surprisingly happy. This pill is amazing, I have not been this genuinely happy in a long time."


"I love it!
This is the first form of birth control I've ever been on. My doctor prescribed it to me because of its low hormonal content and it's been great! Started it on the first day of my period - cramps were pretty bad the first 2 days, worse than usual and my period lasted about 9 days as opposed to my regular 4 or 5 and slight headaches for about a week but no side effects at all after that!

It's been great! Increased libido was just a little bonus. I was pretty skeptical at first because I read nothing but horror stories about it but so glad I tried it.

Out of pocket cost is $45/month. A little steep and there is no generic yet."


"Symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis started at 17.  Was diagnosed at 31.  Tested positive for the gene HLA-B27. Diagnosed with Crohn's at 33.  Psoriatic arthritis at 50.  Have been on remicade every 6 weeks for 9 years.  It is no longer working for me.  I am having flares of each disease.  Any suggestions?"


"started taking Contrave today to help me lose about 20-30 pounds. Well so far it's not working it hasn't suppressed my appetite, but I will finish out the bottle and see if I lose anything."


"I have suffered from migraines Since An Auto accident in 2009, sometime as many as 15 a month. I was prescribed Maxalt this past year (after trying a whole bag of other medicines). It has given me my life back... within thirty minutes after taking Maxalt the symptoms decrease by 50% and are gone within an hour. Several side effects, very drowsy and increased nausea but after several hours of sleep all is good."


"It works very well for stomach pain and fairly well at getting rid of acid, but it must be taken apart from alot of other meds. Also can make it harder to poop. Over all I love the drug"


"The first time I took Zoloft, it was a life-saver, it dragged me out of a deep depression and alleviated most of my anxiety, allowing me to get out of the house and get a job and live a normal life, with no REAL noticeable side-effects, (at higher doses it became difficult to orgasm, but I just didn't take as much and I was fine) 12 years later I tried it again, after falling back into severe depression, anxiety and agoraphobia. It did help, but this time not nearly as much. It lifted my mood and helped me have less mood swings. It barely touched my anxiety and agoraphobia, plus this time around the sexual side effects were devastating. The effort it took to have an orgasm was unbelievable! Even at a dose of only 50mg."


"This Is My Second Time Taking Phentermine. The First Time I Weighed 288 & Dropped Down To 235lbs. Well I Hit A DEEP Depression I Went Up To 300... I Started Nov.6 I Now Weigh 294...With Little Exercise & Barely Eating..Once I Lose 10pds Total..Ill Hit Them Gym..& Start Detoxing."


"I had Mirena inserted 14 months ago, after having my second child. I had a period which lasted 2 months, then nothing since. That's still OK although it makes me wonder if I am still healthy! I can now though report that since I've had Mirena, I have NO libido whatsoever and I hear this is a very common symptom. This really is affecting my marriage."


"I love this. I've started taking it 3 years ago, it's effective for me. The best thing about this pills it makes me less-hungry, and it help me lose weight!"


"I took this medicine for 5 days, and then I decided it was not worth the suffering.  The dentist wasn't even sure I needed it, but prescribed it anyway.  I stopped taking it because of extreme pain on my left side, right below my breast. It didn't feel like any gas I've ever had, but I guess it was some type of intestinal pain.  I was also having frequent, urgent bowel movements though not diarrhea as they warn about.  Now five days without the meds, and I'm still nauseous, especially after bowel movements. I'm bloated, gassy, and just generally feel awful.  What a mistake it was to trust my dentist on this one!"


"Omg I have been crying for no reason and angry for the last 2 weeks.  Was thinking I may need some meds for depression then back tracked what changed 2 weeks ago and boom changed my birth control from Yasmin to Zarah.  I decided to read reviews online & am I happy I did.  I cannot wait until this month is over or I may consider stopping before the month end."


"Since MetroGel I no longer smell."


"Advair Diskus completly helped the weezing. I have a funny

taste in my mouth and have terrible heartburn."


"So I started this drug because I have PCOS. I started 8/21/2015  I have reduced my calorie intake at first to 2,500 during first month and down to 1,800 on the second month. I have kept on taking them and keeping to the low calorie intake  and am now on my 4th month. I followed the dosage that was in my packet now I am taking 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. I went through some of the side effect symptoms as I progressed, such as nausea , headache, and dry mouth. I have lost 36.4 pounds at an average loss of 1/2 a day. I plan to continue taking it as long as my loss stays like this."


"I suffer with severe atopic dermatitis. I went to several dermatologist before they could figure out my condition. I tried several creams and ointments but they all burned and made the skin red and swollen. Then it would all flake away n become inflammed again. In 5 days of using elidel my skin is clearer than it's been in months! It doesn't burn going on the skin (I keep it in the fridge) n it feels smooth going on. Definitely apply a moisturizer after application. Elidel has been a God  send!! I hope it works for everyone else. Elidel is very expensive."


"It really works. I feel much more confident in myself. I don't have to wear a dark colored jacket all the time or limit my shirts to only tank tops. I'm SWEAT FREE. I can't wait to go shop for long sleeve and short sleeve shirts in any color I desire."


"I have been suffering from severe sweating since 6th grade. It wasn't just a situation of not being able to raise up my arms--I had to wear black shirts every day or the sweat stains would show. Even in the middle of the winter, I would sweat. Finally, I asked my doctor for Hypercare (which I had heard about from a friend). I used it for the first time last night, and today was amazing. I wore a tight green shirt and I didn't sweat all day. I did feel like I was sweating at points, but when I checked, there was no wetness. There was some burning when I put it on, but it was well worth it. This is an amazing product!"


"I had the skyla iud put in december 13th (i believe that's the day). I have a very high pain tolerance, over 16 piercings, have even pierced myself a few times, and the pain from having this inserted was easily a 10/10. I was crying. I was telling them to take it out of me it hurt so bad, but honestly immediately after it was completely in the pain went away SO FAST. I had terrible cramping that day and the day after, but I only bled about 3 days once it was put in. I spotted pretty irregularly the first month, and when it came to the time my period was coming, I bled a full 8 days very heavily. Since my period has ended i haven't spotted once, and I haven't had any cramps. I would definitely go through the pain again!! best birth control!!"

"Have been using 6 days straight. No change in my daily activities, no apparent side effects."


"30 milligrams worked like a charm for three months in addition to medicine I take for depression bipolar and anxiety all mixed together I slept however I needed to up my dose of 60 milligrams forward to continue to work which it also did like a charm for 3 more months that is 6 months I'm sleeping after 2 years of extreme insomnia which had basically destroyed my life I am up and running however...... I had a doctor's appointment today because I have been getting restless sleep I wanted to go to 30 milligrams Restoril and 10 milligrams of Valium as this has worked in the past however my doctor was not there and I am scared that I may not sleep so well or take extra medicine to sleep that's my experience"


"I love this product. Usually my cold sores are anywhere from 1-2 weeks, I woke up with a cold sore Friday got the cream and applied it at least every hour and that very day the sore burst on its own and it is Monday morning and its already healing and has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY smaller and I noticed its not as red as it was so its hardly noticeable. I'm sure this will be gone by Weds/Thurs the latest. It is very small packaging but every time I put some on I use a Qtip and a little goes a long way. It still looks unused and I've put it on at least every hour since I got it. Honestly at first I was discouraged from using it because of the reviews but I'm so glad I still got it."


"I used Macrobid to clear up a UTI. Worked well for the UTI, but a week or so after I stopped the treatment, I broke out in horrible hives. It's been weeks, but I still have flare ups."


"I am 23 and Zoloft has changed my life! I got postpartum after my first baby and did not think I was gonna make it. Hours after taking my first 25mg I have changed for the better. Now I take 100mg a day and life is so perfect!"


"I have had issues with bladder leakage for years.  My doc did the mesh implant and I still have some, not as much, but some leaks.  After a few questions, he determined that I had "over active bladder" problems as well.  I've been on this medication now for about 6 weeks.  At first, I was on 25 mg and still had not so perfect results, he bumped it up to 50 mg and I have no problems now.  So far, no side effects and I'm thrilled with the results.  Expensive, yes...there is a $50 card on their website, if that helps.  I would definitely recommend."


"I am writing this in hopes that I will help some girl out there who is as naive as I was when I blindly decided to take these emergency contraceptive pills.

Let me start off by admitting to my very first mistake, which was sex without a condom. Even though my boyfriend didn't cum inside of me, I still was afraid of becoming pregnant since I have read numerous stories about women getting pregnant on the pull out method.

Anyways, let's get straight to the story... So, I ended up taking the morning after pill every time we would have sex without condoms. To make a long story short, I ended up taking 4 pills in a time period of 3 months. (Stupid, I know!)

I took these pills and thought nothing of it. Until, I started feeling the symptoms that come with it: I was depressed (crying over anything), sleeping 18 hours a day, lost appetite, bloating, my breasts were tender and tingling, frequent urination, nausea, dizziness, wild vivid dreams, etc... I actually thought I was pregnant because it gives you EVERY symptom of pregnancy.

After noticing all these symptoms, I decided to stop using these pills and to remind myself to buy condoms. I haven't taken another pill for 3 months, and all I can say is ITS NOT OVER!!! Three months later, I am still haunted by the long term side effects of the pill.

I gained 10 pounds from the pill! I've always been skinny and muscular; it's gone! I have a gut and a muffin top for the first time in my life! Had to get new jeans in a bigger size because I could no longer fit in them. My breasts grew a whole cup size bigger and had to get a brand new bra wardrobe. My physical body was ruined by these pills!! :( BUT THATS NOT ALL!!

The pill had given me a yeast infection, which was then followed by a urinary tract infection, and the urinary tract infection eventually caused Bacterial vaginosis, in which 3 months later, I am still dealing with!!! I WAS NEVER THE SAME!

Please stay away from this pill! Use condoms or some other type of birth control. This will ruin your life in every aspect: mental, emotional, physical, internal... Please take my advice and avoid this as much possible. If it's a true emergency, go and take it, but don't be stupid like me! Be proactive when it comes to sex! This pill isn't something to fool around with!"


"It has helped in more ways than you can imagine. I am not 100%, but pretty close to be my normal self."


"My husband tested positive for the flu on 2nd day of having symptoms. His Dr prescribed Tamiflu for both he and I since I slept in same bed while he was sick. One day later, I started to feel symptoms as well...aches, chills & fever. I immediately started the tamiflu & was only out of commission for 1 full day. Tamiflu is amazing if you start it early enough."


"I had panic attacks most of my adult life, was afraid of taking pills. I was taking Ativan for my condition, in order for my doctor to get me off the Ativan I was prescribe Zoloft,  I took this medication for about six months along with a half Ativan. I started feeling normal in about 3 weeks, after about six months I stopped taking both of them and felt great for a whole year until something happened to cause me much anxiety again.  I am back on the Ativan for the last 5 months, just filled the prescription for Zoloft again, hoping it does what is did before. Don't like taking meds but it worked a miracle for me."


"Have been on intuniv for about a month now. I feel like I have been crawling out of my skin and emotionally very upset. I feel at times I could break down in tears over a commercial, or when my kids hug me and tell me they love me. I am normally a emotionally reserved man and keep them in check because of my line of work. I really do feel like I am going nuts on this medication. I have officially stopped taking the medication until I can talk with my doctor."


"Yes it did clear my acne once I was on it. I had cystic acne around my chin and forehead, and some acne on my cheeks. But I would say no less than a year later, it started coming back. Granted it was not as bad as before, but I was extremely surprised to see acne come back so soon. Now about 3 years later it is TERRIBLE. I am getting cystic acne again and a new pimple is popping up pretty much everyday around my chin. I really don't want to have to go on another treatment of Accutane. I had already been on 2 six month treatments in a row. "


"I've been on Paxil for two months now and have seen significant improvement in my mood (no longer crying for no reason) and decreased feelings of anxiety. No side effects.  The medication has also helped me deal with my PTSD. I'm able to breath and make good decisions  in situations that would otherwise be triggering.  After years of attempting to fix myself and deal with my problems on my own, I finally asked my doctor (with analysis by a counselor) for help. Paxil is just the right thing for me.  I still don't like the idea of being on medication, but the benefits are too great."


"A few days ago after being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I was prescribed Metformin 500 mg that my doctor wants me to take twice a day. Before taking this medicine ,my fasting blood sugar levels ranged from 140-320. My blood sugar levels were very erratic ,not to mention once my blood sugar got as high as 596, and 375. Plus, it felt like I had a stomach bug that wouldn't go away, because my blood sugar constantly measured at high levels. After been on Metformin for only a few days, my blood sugar levels have started to stabilize, and my fasting range is now between 85-120. I genuinely feel a lot better because my blood sugar for the most part has started to stay in the normal range. Metformin has been nothing short of a miracle drug for me"


"When on this medication,along with a long-acting
pain medication, I feel this helps to wean
down my pain levels."


"I just started using Timoptic Ocudose( manufactured in France) a month ago.

I've experienced dry eyes, blurred vision, possible ringing in my ears, prominent red veins in white of eyes, and flashes.

Does anyone else use this?  If so any side effects?  Tell me what your experience has been."


"2 tubes a day raised me over 1000 from 262.   Way too high.  Now on 1.5 tubes. It works IF YOU APPLY IT CORRECTLY.  I'm laughing at all these guys that say it doesn't dry.   Try following the instructions of rubbing it in until it dries folks. Like literally it takes 30 seconds.

It is NOT a self drying gel like Androgel.  Yikes man!

As for the smell? It's added.  Other reviewers are incorrect.  It's on their website.  Do some research.  It's not the T gel it's the cologne with pheromones they add to it.

As for what it smells like?  Awesome.  I've had woman after woman tell me I smell awesome.  I don't know what's wrong with these guys who DONT want to smell sexy."


"I have been on Tri-Estarylla for almost two weeks now. So far I don't have any complaints. I was hesitant at first with all the horrible reviews, but it's fine. I was on other generic birth control with the same ingredients so my transition to this one went well."


"My doctor prescribed Mirtazapine to me after seeing him for depression, anxiety and sleeping problems since he through it would tackle all 3 problems with one prescription. I started with 15mg, then went to 30mg cause it wasn't enough and then to 45mg because 30 stopped working. 45mg and 30mg started giving me extreme anxiety and heart palpitations. I spent 3 months on Mirtazapine and it was only good for the first month (which is reversed compared to others). Im on Cipralex (Lexapro/escitalopram) for a week now and when I stopped the mirt., last night, my palpitations went away. I now see clearly that mirt. caused my anxiety to sky rocket and my heart to race uncontrollably. My pulse was about 96-100bpm daily, even at resting heart rate."


"Not sure if I want my child who has aggression to take this because Dr. says it could cause diabetes! My family has a history of diabetes so why should I allow my 10 yr old daughter to take this pill and ruin her life with diabetes! Also my 10 yr old was the tiniest out of my 1st born and I believe she has gained a lot of weight but the Dr. claims she didn't gain any! For being 10 she weighs 75 lbs. She is 1/4 of the way to being the the same weight as my 16 yr old. Don't think I want to wait another 6 yrs to see what her weight is then!:("


"My husband had a procedure a week before mine and received propofol and felt wonderful, awake, alert and ready to drive home - not so fast.  As for me - not the same result. After the procedure I slept for 2 days and for the next 2-3 days my balance was off. If I tried to pick something off the floor I would fall forward and when I stood up I'd fall backwards. I couldn't shower for 4 days (drop the soap and I would lose my balance and fall forwards.  In my case a major central nervous side effect)."


"I just started taking this birth control about 12 days ago when I started my period, and I'm still bleeding as if I'm still on my period. The flow is light however the length of my average period is 2 weeks when I wasn't on birth control. So maybe the medication is altering my system %u2026I do feel nauseous and I crave like crazy. I do feel a little depressed because my period isn't gone yet but overall it
seems to be a good birth control so far. "


"I don't know what I did but whenever I jumped on the trampoline with my kids, I was experiencing some weird pain in my upper back.  I put some a535 on my back. That didn't help. The next day it still hurt!! Then I took two aleve pills and the next morning I was ok. And I continued this way for a few days and my back was all better!!! Thanks aleve! "


"So i was diagnosed with inattentive type ADHD about a month or two ago. I'm 19 and in second year university. I struggle to take in information in distracting settings like big lecture halls, have  tough time focusing, and my organization skills have always been poor. So my doctor prescribed 18mg concerta. I've taken it for a week so far and I'm loving the results. Im now always listening in lectures, always focusing on what the prof is saying. My room, car, desk is now more organized than it has ever been, and its stayed that way so far! Many people complain about lack of appetite but I haven't noticed that at all! Ive noticed two minor side effects so far. Headaches that start later in the day, as well as some minor irritability."


"I was on the generic for a while; unfortunately ALL of them didn't help. I switched over the the brand name 6 days ago and am experiencing less side effects so far and just feeling better overall.  There is a big difference for me.  I was able to find that the manufacturer has a program where the most you pay is $50 a month. I was lucky, they called my insurance and my copay is ZERO.  There is definitely something going on with this and I am sure the manufacturer of the brand name is reimbursing the insurance companies somehow.  Either way; my opinion : NO GENERIC FOR ANY WELLBUTRIN."


"The worst birth control ever!!! I have only been on this for about 2 weeks and everyday at the same time I have stomach cramping. I already had my PCP switch me to something else but I can not switch in the middle of packs. I wouldn't recommend this birth control to anyone."


"My depression began at 14, with low self esteem & deep insecurities, but I was very friendly & popular.   At 25, I took Prozac for 1 year (didn't like), then diagnosed with major ADD at 28.  Adderall was a lifesaver, but after 15 years, still dealing with depression - especially seasonal. I was prescribed Celexa 2 yrs ago and it has worked wonders - keeps me feeling normal, happy and steady.   BUT it makes me break out in sweat episodes 1-2 x a day.   Uncomfortable. I thought it was pre-menopausal or hormone related (friends & OBGYN thought so too).  Finally figured out it is more likely a side-effect of Celexa. (Could be dosage amount, 50mg?)  I am just now switching to Wellbutrin & hope it's better.
"


"I was on 20mg of Celexa for 4 years for euphoric disorder. About 1 week before my period I would feel creepy cawling tingles up my spine and into my brain. I would have white hot temper outbursts. I was also abusing alcohol. Geez, great times. Now I haven't drank in 7 years. Celexa at that time was a God send. Never felt better.
Than 3 weeks ago the medicine stopped working and I had to go to the ER twice in 1 weekend. The anxiety, vomitting, nausea, hot flashes and cold sweats were unmanageable. Finally my friend who is a Internist suggest Lexapro 10mg. I agreed and took it just like Celexa, before bed. I woke a new woman. All side effects gone, and normal feelings of happiness are in my heart. First day, so things may change, but I'm better."


"For a while it was good, I was doing okay in school and focusing more, but the more I increased my dose the worse the quality of life became, my social anxiety went through the roof. The worst part about it for me was that when my dose was 72 mg the cutoff or withdrawal was horrible, as soon as it wore off my face would get a big red rash and would pulsate, and my pores would get huge, this would happen everyday, and it was irritating and made me self conscious, so I took myself off the medication and noticed it stopped. I haven’t been on it since and I would like to start a new medication with less side effects."


"First time using Replax for painfully long lasting migraines and pain is gone out of my head for the first time in weeks. Couldn't be happier, best relief I've found."


"So I've been on Nexplanon for 2 years this June. (2014).

Pros- it works, I don't have to worry about taking a pill everyday, I don't feel it in my arm, I don't have a period but every 8 to 6 months and it's super light. Only gained 5 pounds in 2 yrs.

Cons- I had to deal with a little bit of acne, but after seeing a dermatologist I have great skin. It made me moody, I would be moody around the same time every month, so it was like I had PMS but never a period to follow. I am tired a lot. I got headaches and nausea for the first 6 months. I developed irritable bowel syndrome, however I fixed that issue by taking fiber regularly and probiotics and I'm fine now.

All in all I've had a good experience nothing major I've had to deal with."


"Did not help my OIC at all. In my opinion it is no better than an otc stool softener."


"I have bipolar I disorder with psychotic and depressive features and a diagnosis of ADHD. I take meds for all three conditions. I take Vyvanse 50mg in the AM. When that wares off, I take Evekeo 10 mg twice every 4-5 hours, PM. I also take my stimulants with Ativan as I also have anxiety too. Evekeo is perfect for me. It doesn't make me feel hyper nor does it give me that 'high' feeling. It normalizes me and I can actually be driven and calm at the same time. Since I take two stimulants, you're probably wondering how in the world. All I can say is that Vyvanse doesn't last all day long for me, so I supplement with Evekeo. I take Evekeo once Vyvanse wares out. I'm happy with them both."


"severe migraines for years.......  took Imitrex shots. Immediate, and I mean immediate relief. Needle is very tiny and you put it up to the side of your thigh. Highly recommend."


"I haven't even been on Gilenya for a full week and am already seeing positive results. The first few days I did feel sluggish and had some stomach discomfort (gas, cramping, etc.), but neither was severe or lengthy. What I am most impressed by, so far, is the immediate improvement in muscle spasticity, which has helped me sleep more fitfully than I have slept in years. I have also experienced the return of tastes and sensations I wasn't even fully aware of losing and an alleviation of what I call brain pain. I am excited to see the vast improvement to my health, and I look forward to all that I will accomplish with the freedom it brings."


"I had arthroscopic surgery on my left knee 2 years and 6 mo. ago. My orthopedist told me that I will eventually have to have a total knee.  Since then , I have had 2 Euflexxa injections. I will be receiving another injection in 2 weeks. It has been 15 mo. since the last shot.
I'm a retired Physical Therapist and do my exercises faithfully."


"This medication worked for me, reducing the stomach acid significantly. It is worth a try for anyone suffering from GERD."

"I've been taking nytol for a week now and they do work for trouble sleeping as I work night shifts and its hard to sleep when the sun is shining through the window. BUT its making me miss days of work because I will sleep for 14-16 hours at a time, its making me sleep through my alarm (I have the sonicboom alarm clock which shakes the whole bed and is really loud but its now not waking me up) it knocks me out within 30-40 min of taking it"


"I had very severe fungus in four toes and had tried a number of over the counter topical medications. I saw the ads for Jublia and finally started using the product about a year ago. Three of my four toes are completely cured and the big toe on my left foot is the only fungus issue left. It's been slow going on this nail, but about 1/3 has grown back completely healthy. I think it might be another year, but I am committed to the process."


"The injection was barely felt.  For someone who has an aversion to needles, it is the way to go.  No sore arm.  But had more cold like symptoms, more noticable than in the past with regular intramuscular injections."


"The first batch was awful!  After reading this blog/reviews, for batch #2, I mixed a pkg of crystal lite into each cup and then I sliced a lemon and bit into a slice before drinking thru a straw at the very back of my throat, and then biting the lemon again. This really worked much better.  I am almost done."


"I tried Provigil 2 years ago but I got the jitters. The fatigue has become so bad in the last 6 months that I decided to try it again.  This time I had success.  At first I only took it when I needed it, but finally I gave up having so many nonfunctional days that I started taking it everyday - I take just 100mg.  My days are much more fulfilling.  I have to actually remind myself NOT to overdo or I'll still get wiped out. It's so good to feel like I can do things again."


"I've been using Estring for 10 years without any side effects whatsoever.  Just recently have gained 10 lbs and can't figure out why.  Also cannot get it off.  Perhaps it's time to stop the treatment and see what happens.  My question if anyone can share, once stopped, does the sweating and other symptoms return?  I've just turned 60 and feel great.  Don't want to have the unwanted effects.  But totally open to stopping the Estring if it's dangerous to continue after all these years.  My most recent dr said it's ok to stay on it even though mother and sister have had breast cancer."


"I've had the implant for a couple of months now, & it's working out great! Although my emotions are heightened and I have suffered with mouth sores. My periods have stopped all together and my skin is fine. I encourage this to anyone!"


"I would rate this 10 except that I have morning sickness (no jokes please) and my experience and medical advisers tell me that it's ok to eat close to when I take my pill every day but the more fat the more vivid (or disturbing) the dreams.  I have heard you are supposed to avoid grapefruit also."


"Was prescribed this for severe Sciatica and piriformis inflammation. This drug did absolutely NOTHING other than knock me out for few hours of deep sleep every time am bad drowsiness. I was then able to find some SOMA which is a miracle pain killer drug by comparison. Even better than the Percosets without apparent side effects. Yet, the doctors are completely paranoid to prescribe it unlike this useless Flexeril. Just check out the reviews on both drugs and compare."


"First diagnosed with MS in 2000 and started Betaseron then great results. Had mild side effects, including temporary flu like symptoms and sore injection sites, but that was all. Since the flare up that led to my diagnosis, I have only had 5 flares that I knew were flare ups, with only 1 being a more moderate flare up with similar symptoms as the one that got me diagnosed."


"In September of 2012 I had triple bypass surgery and in October of 2014 a stent to my left renal artery. I have coronary artery disease due to heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. I was on numerous statin medications and they had nasty side effects. Additionally, they did not lower my LDL'S to safe levels. My total cholesterol before my surgery was 300 with high triglycerides and LDL. Due to the high dosage of statin drugs, I had horrible myalgia, malaise, forgetfulness, protein in my urine, elevated blood sugar and muscle weakness. After being on Repatha for 6 months my cholesterol has being lowered by 70%. The only side effect from Repatha is stinging at the injection site. It is a miracle drug."


"I used to take dulcolax with no problems, but today I took one tablet, passed stool  3 hours after with no cramps at all. But after 6 hours I had this sudden left abdominal pain, 7/10! I stayed on the toilet too long just passing gas and a bowel movement (slight), until I started feeling nauseus and felt cold and clammy. I washed up and just collapsed on my bed. Felt better After taking buscopan for the cramps. Never again!"


"I had a failed surgery nine years ago on my back at L4-5 and have taken a lot of medicines to get through the day. My doctor has had me on Opana ER 20 mg only for about a year now or close to it. As far as the pain it works well with little break through. But, the side effects for me just get worse. Nausea, sweats, cold, hot, very uneasy feeling. At first they were mild but seem to be getting worse with time. I feel so sick at times it's getting to be as bad as the pain level was and just makes me as mean. My doctor has talked me out of stopping once but I just made a appointment this morning and I'm getting off Opana.
This stuff is very strong and works well. Just alot of side effects."


"I am 52, and had the Mirena put in to help with heavy bleeding. In the month that I had it I gained 5 lbs, had headaches every day, was nauseous and felt like I was 3 months pregnant, could not sit comfortably, I experienced irritability. When I went to the clinic to have the IUD removed my blood pressure was high and I have never had high blood pressure. I would not recommend the Mirena to anyone."


"I get an injection (40) in my hip and knee every three months.  Has been a great relief for over 5 years.  I am almost 68 years old.  Have told other seniors of this great injection to avoid or delay knee and hip replacement and pain relief."


"I just got mine inserted today. I Went into planned parenthood without insurance and My low income (thanks to being a college student) allowed for me to get this without having to pay a dime out of pocket. Thank god, because I am terrible at remembering to take a pill.

I hadn't done much research on other people's experiences, I mostly read about it's effectiveness, pros and cons, and side effects, so I felt relitively prepared. However, I took no medication before, and no one had warned me it would even hurt until they were in process. My obgyn was not a nice lady... she was kinda rude and very curt which I believe contributed to the amount of pain I felt. I'm a little bloated and have had some rough cramps but so far I'm doing good."


"I share the previous experiences, Heavy bleeding, mirena inserted. I have done my time 6 months on still irregular, extended periods of up to 3 weeks. I visited my doctor today and was informed that I need to go back to my specialist as I may need a D and C. The mirena has not solved the bleeding issue but it is the best form of contraception I have used after falling pregnant on the full pill and the coil IUCD. That was why I rated it higher. We have spent on sanitary supplies alone $300 over the past 7 months and still counting."


"This is my 2nd time w/ implanon and I love it!  At first, I did bleed for a long period of time, possibly a month, but I informed my doctor, and she put me on some type of other birth control, a patch at the same time, which balanced out my hormones. I did that for a while, and it stopped the bleeding. (So be sure to inform your doctor of increased bleeding.) After that things became normal, and I no longer had a period. This is common and nothing to worry about. I'd go at least a year without having a period, then have a random period for about 1-2 weeks. I can deal with that! I did gain weight at first, and for the first year it is difficult to lose the weight. I would recommend this birth control. Haven't gotten pregnant!"


"It works for inflammation from my neuroma/foot pain, however, it makes me tired all the time and I seem grumpier - LOL.  Also, after being on it for a month, when I decided to go off, my legs and ankles really really had major water retention.  So, maybe when going off of it, it's a better idea to not stop all at once, but taper off so the body can adjust.  The side effect of going off  of this stuff and the drowsiness is why I rated it low.  Otherwise, it does work for inflammation!!"


"Excellent  med! I feel so good, no  nausea or any side effect, have lost 12lbs in 4 weeks  with no effort at all.   I will start excising to see better results. Have been eating clean.
Down side, my insurance changed this year to a high deductible so I don't know if I would be able to afford it."


"If you start getting moody, stop taking this medication immediately. I was on this BCP for exactly 1 month and I developed a stroke (hospital categorized it as a seizure) where I couldn't remember my name and had to redevelop my speech and writing. The day after the hospitalization I developed Mono from my weakened immune system and slept for 24 hours straight. Do not take BCP in general. ."


"Just got the shot today, sore where I got the shot at but I'll keep y'all updated"


"I am 70 years old and have suffered from MG for 12 years. I have been on predisone for that time 30/10mg eod.

My neurologist said that I had to get off the prednisone and highly touted Cellcept.

I was on 2000mg per day for five months and then started to have severe calf, ankle and feet swelling, horrible muscle aches and increased weakness.

I really was in misery.

I made a special appointment with my neurologist. He told me that it couldn't be the Cellcept that was causing my problems.

But, he left the room for about five minutes, came back and said I had to get off Cellcept NOW. I believe he left the room to read up on the unusual but severe side effects. My symptoms are listed in that category."


"I suffered from anxiety and depression since my teenage years. I was fortunately enough to come across a book about St. John's wort, read the book and starting taking it. First it didn't help much about my anxiety and depression. About 2 to 3 weeks onward, I felt like a new person, or the old one before I had depression. Not much anger anymore and feeling hopeful etc... even smile more, even to strangers.

My advice is to stick with it for a week or 2 and see if it works for you too. If not, try 5 HTP, it's good for depression too as well.

Best,"


"Hydrochloroquine has been a "life saver for me" for my Extreme inner thigh muscle cramps at night !
      Five years ago my Inner thigh cramps were so bad and lasted so long , every night, that I could not reach the phone to call 911 for help.  I literally could not move until they dissipated.  My leg muscles were very sore the next day.
     Over the counter medications and/or prescriptions did nothing to help.
     I read an article that said quinine might help. My 94 year old grandfather said that when he was young the doctor prescribed quinine be put in coffee to help his leg cramps.
     So my doctor prescribed Hydroxycloroquine. I have a cramp now about every 4 months and it is short and manageable.  I have no side effects and my eyes are checked every six months."


"Without going into my whole story about this drug and the events that lead me up to the point of taking it, I will just say my piece about it and move on.  At the risk of sounding cliche, it is a miracle drug.  It completely changed my life, for the better.  I really cant even begin to say all the specific things it helped me change about myself.  I'm not normally the type of person who will get on the Internet and give kudos to a product of any kind, but with this I am.  Look into it!"


"I am 45 years old.  I have been suffering from ED for last 3 months .  My physician suggested viyagra 100 mg the India generic version also available at low cost 15 indian rs per pill.
I have tried its great.  I have found harder erection and doing sex twice a night.
No side effects .
I found it works for up to 15 to 16 hrs for me."


"I have suffered from major depression since my 20's, I am now 50, I have taken every antidepressant I think possible, since I have started taking Viibryd I feel human, I have more mind clarity,energy and generalized feeling of happiness. I laugh and talk a lot more! I feel like someone turned the positive switch on in my brain, it's like the sky is bluer, trees are greener, etc! I started taking this medicine after my sister told me she had started taking it and how wonderful she was feeling.  I have had absolutely no side effects except eating more but that could be because I have an appetite now.I am taking 20mg right now and have been taking it for several months. I feel like this is a miracle drug and is exactly what I have always neede"


"This is the first and last time I ever take this drug! After 24 hours of it in my system, I started having flu like symptoms. I could feel my sinuses draining down my throat, I began to have a horrible cough. Granted at first I seemed to be getting better, but by the night of day four, my eyes are all itchy and watery, my nose is constantly running, constantly coughing. Now on day five, I took my last pill. Still feeling like crap, still all the same symptoms from day four. Hoping this goes away soon before I return to the ER once more."


"I have sciatica and take Vicodin. It helps me sleep and slightly covers up the pain."


"Tremors, anxiety, panic attacks, brainfog, insomnia,  intolerance towards many foods, medicines, vitamins and supplements, concentration issues, light sensitivity, heart palpitations, difficulty in reading and understanding, spells of severe depression, weakness, fatigue, delayed and slow reactions to situations and questions, spells of memory loss, - despite taking it 14 months ago! It has destroyed the abilities and the intelligence of a poet, an intellectual thinker, a guy known for witty replies and unmatched sense of humour and timing. This poison has changed the personality of a guy named Rawal Afzal - myself that is!

I'll never ever take it again, or any drugs in the class of Fluoroquinolone or Quinolone, even as eye or ear drops."


"I've been on Portia for about a month now my period is extremely heavy although that's normal for me. I noticed that it makes me very tired which I really dislike because I'm a very active person. I'm constantly nauseous and I mean constantly. I'm into fitness and I gained 6 freaking pounds. I get headaches more than usual as well. I know these are normal side effects but I am really not liking this birth control so far. I used Lavora until they discontinued it and put me on Portia I never had problems with it like Portia."


"I was started on 40mg for 2 weeks..I felt like someone was pulling out the floor from under me and tipping the room. I was decreased to 20mg with unfortunately no improvement. I was previously on Cymbalta that seemed to "stop working". I'm now currently on Paxil which will hopefully help with my sadness and anxiety"


"I had the Nexplanon implant inserted a little over a year ago. I immediately called back because I had been bleeding for three weeks straight after implant. I was instructed by the clinic to take Iboprofen to control the bleeding (seemed an odd remedy to me) the nurse told me it would "get better after a few weeks". It has been over a year. My period comes about everything 3 weeks and lasts from 4-14 days. Sometimes I have a break in between and stop bleeding for a day or two, then it starts up again for another week... basically I am constantly on my period. It is inconvenient and bothersome, but I deal with it because I am preventing any unwanted pregnancies. My partner can't stand it. Hopefully my hair doesn't begin falling out now too.."


"This product seemed to work really fast but sometimes it wouldn't take care of all the pain from the migraine. Also, I noticed when I do a hard body workout at the gym and if I get a migraine the next day or two, after that workout the medicine made my body ache real bad. My chest, arms, and legs would really hurt from the constricting blood vessels. "

"Ive been fighting with "acne" since my mod 20s im now 35. I was also a picker. I have anxiety so it became a way to relieve my anxiety its called dermatelomania (not sure of the spelling) anyway I regret not seeing a dermatologist yrs ago because If I dont have pimples I dont pick which means no scarring. I was afraid to try it at first because of some of the reviews saying it got worse before it got better.Not for me ive been on it for almost 3 weeks and I seen a differwnce in the first 2 days. Bow 3 weeks later my skin is bump free. I dont even know how to explain the relief I have and stress that has been lifted off my shoulders. Everyday was a battle for years and I think I tried every product out there through the yrs. Anyway goodluck"


"For years I refused medication for my depression and anxiety disorder. I had tried a few in the past (Lexapro, Effexor etc) but they hadn't helped or caused me to gain weight. After having my baby my anxiety and depression became so bad I couldn't leave the house. I met another lady who suggested this medication. I was really hesitant but I had to try something for my babies sake. This medication has really changed my life. I am

A different person completely. I feel strong and don't remember the last time I cried (I use to be a daily cryer!). I am still anxious sometimes but life doesn't seem so hard anymore. Everyone that knows me has noticed the difference in me. It took about three days to get use to it, but it's been great since."


"In eight months my PSA went from 11.2 to 5.0, to 3.8.

I was taking it late in the evening and felt terrible muscle and joint pain throughout the night.  If I take it about noon and drink plenty of coffee and water,  the nighttime pain goes away.  I really don't feel it during the day when I'm active.  I guess that when I take it at night it stays more concentrated and doesn't get out of my system.

I'm getting some thickening of hair at the back of my head, though not drastically thick.

It definitely reduces your sex drive.  Orgasms can still be felt but not as intense with very little if any semen production.

I also take Flomax twice a day.  I'm sleeping much better now with far less frequent trips to the bathroom."


"I have been on venlafaxine for maybe 8 years and it does work well for me. I increased from 75 to 150 mg/day several years ago. I had one terrible experience of missing 2 doses because I forgot to refill before the weekend. Ended up feeling absolutely nauseous."


"I find remarkable, quantifiable relief within 24 hours when using the 1G pill. It takes a few days for complete return to normal but 99% of symptoms are gone within 24 hours in my otherwise healthy body."


"I've taking this for 3 months and slowly stopped.  Bottom line, it has helped me get my life back together.  But it is NOT a miracle drug.  This isn't something you pop under your tounge and get cured.  The first time I started on this medication I truly believed and tried to convince myself that I was going to be fine just taking this alone.  Bottom line, I relapsed twice.  You need a support network and people that you can relate to.  For me this medication and NA saved my life. If you are a parent, please be supportive and convince your son or daughter to make meetings%u2026 but more importantly, DO IT WITH LOVE."


"I have been on this birth control since about October. I have gained about 30 pounds, I have extreme mood swings, my weight gain has made me depressed, and my sex drive is at an all time low. I spot all the time and I do mean all the time. The birth control kept me from getting pregnant but that isn't even worth it anymore. Im calling my doctor today to get it removed, though I am unsure of what form of birth control to get on now."


"I took this since I am not on birth control yet and just recently had my baby (5 weeks ago). This pill has way worse side effects than Plan B. This pill has me
Emotional crying within minutes and gave me a migraine minutes after that and a few hours later I woke up with extreme cramping in my lower back and abdomen for hours I was up in pain. I would never take this again."


"I have taken Toprol XL for years for atrial fib and tachycardia. I get very anxious at times without this and my blood pressure and heart rate will race with the chance it could convert to AF. Lately however, my heart rate has fallen to low 40's taking only 10 mg and my doctor has taken me off it completely. I feel very shaky now. My hands visibly tremble and I notice I get more of an adrenaline rush when under pressure or fear. I need something to replace this because I don't want to experience AF again and I need something to calm me down. Any suggestions would be appreciated."


"Plan B did what it was suppose to do. Had unprotected sex a day before  ovulation (assuming ovulating day due to my period app) by accident. 11 hours later I went to Walgreens purchased Plan B.  2 weeks later I got period only 1 day late. However 1 week after Plan B was taken I started spotting lightly until actual day of period.  So everything went great, as far as taking this on or before ovulation day."


"I get quite a few red spots only in my t zone, along with loads of little red bumps on my forehead. I've been using duac cream for about 5 days now and I have seen quite a good improvement, especially on my forehead. However, my skin is bright red and flaky that it almost looks worse. I don't have as many spots at all, but my whole face is red and constantly burning to the point where I cry. Yes it is good for spots, but for me it's not worth it."


"made me very restless and jittery could not sleep"


"I am in control of my thoughts and emotions and that's all I can ask for ! I don't easily cry or become depressed anymore.. I don't say hateful and mean things when I'm angry... I feel mentally stable and am in a much happier place just 3 weeks in. Didn't have any side affects only think was that people asked why I've been so much happier. I recommend Prozac and never take any other kind of pills."


"Prednisone takes away the extreme pain of my gout in my big toes and wrist . Is the only drug that works . I've been taking Uloric gout medication daily for 8 years , but I still get the occasional flare up . That's when I take prednisone for 3 days .... The pain is 80% gone after the first of 3 daily doses . Good luck"


"Only been taking for about two weeks. Feel lethargic, achy, headache, hot flashes are worse. Depression, occasional stomach pain. Muscle pain."


"I have suffered from eczema on and off for many years, recently I had a massive reaction on my face which resulted in severe eczema all over my face and neck. I had very sore red patches and very red burning patches. I felt rock bottom and after seeing a dermatologist she gave me Elocon. She gave me confidence that in 4 days my eczema would be completely cleared. I put it on at night and it stung just a little for the first night, 3 days later it had all cleared and my skin super smooth. This is a fab ointment and would certainly give a 10 out of 10 review."


"I got my skyla placed on September 14th 2016.  Insertion wasnt too bad at all, just a few pokes and pinches and it was done. However 20 minutes after insertion the cramps kicked in, I haven't had kids yet. But I swear the pain level of the cramps are what I assume is how contractions feel. It was so so bad. I love my OB so I drive a 30 minutes to see her. Needless to say the drive home was horrible. Once I finally got home the contraction cramps were so bad I was laying on the floor crying. The cramping did get better the next day and was completely gone in about 3 days. Originally I was on the pill and my body didn't like it and I was having a period 6 -7 days twice a month. Now I just spot brown discharge that has lightened up a lot"


"Beware - this drug may give rebound headaches."


"On saxenda now for 3 weeks. Down 23 lbs
Side effects are gone. Still on 1.2 dose doc doesn't want me to up dose because he said I am losing too fast. Not hungry at all actually have to force myself to eat. Walking 3x a week."


"When I fist got Nexplanon I had my period for a month (heavy) and now only get it every 5ish months that last about a week and half (very light most days). Had it since December 2013. Stress and anxiety increased and so did acne. I had to get prescribed an anxiety medication but I don't have to take it all the time. I personally love it."


"Addressing the misinformed subscriber who proclaimed, " Vyvanse is SPEED! ", and that it's use led to his rapid addiction to speed. This is clinically not possible. Though there is an underlying component of amphetamine to this med, it is moreover a CNS (  Central Nervous System Stimulant ), as is stratera ( which contains a large percentage of norepinephrine in it and may help those battling depression as well as ADD) .
Guess what else is classified as a CNS. - your morning coffee.  We all recognize Folgers and Nescaffe as unregulated gateway drugs, so shouldn't we get excited about them as some of these '  users and their abuses of caffeine ' aside the evils of Vyvanse? Personal responsibility and accountability are key."


"My face was horribly broken out and covered in acne for the last five years along with painful cysts since I was 15, I'm 23 and I've tried every face wash, lotion, etc; finally my doctor gave me this prescription and I haven't had a cyst or a single pimple since. I've been on this medicine for two years now and I love it, only draw back is I'm always insanely thirsty on it no matter how much I drink and some nausea as well."


"I've had generalized anxiety disorder since before they knew what it was.  I have been in all SSRIs, the side effects have kept me from being on them long enough to see if they worked, then Ativan through clonazepam, still anxiety ridden, as a last chance medicine, my Dr gave me Buspar, at this point I was beyond jaded and thought "oh great another pill that won't work", but it did, at 30mgs split to 10mgs 3 times daily.  I felt the cloud of anxiety lift after the first pill.  I stopped catastrophisizing everything and got my life back.

It is an older medicine, no longer a 'go to' medicine, but should be, the others made me zombie like etc.  I had the dizzies for a week, pushed through, they stopped.  I am now so incredibly happy and anxiety free."


"If I Wellbutrin was in my life few years ago I could be totally different person. Still I am lucky to have started it several weeks ago. It helped me a lot. I hope you can see the same results. "


"I have been on 0.6 Victoza for the last 7 days.  I have had no side effects whatsoever, except for maybe less of an appetite. I have already lost 7 lbs so far, a pound a day!  And my blood sugar readings have gone from 170's to 109.  This is a miracle. I only hope that the side effects don't get worse or grow in number.  Moving to 1.2 Tomorrow.  We shall see how things go from there."


"I am diagnosed Bipolar I. I take Trileptal and have switched antidepressants several times. I have tried Lexapro, Zoloft and Prozac. All having relative success with my moods, but loss of libido forced me to switch. Pristiq has been the best I have tried. Both my moods and anxiety have improved. Still less of a libido than without any medication, but better than any of the other antidepressants I have taken. I still have a faint libido, but now experience delayed orgasm. However, the quality of my moods has improved so much that I am more apt to accept this side effect."


"It may be to early for me to review this since I've only been on it for a month, but I thought I'd share my beginning side effects for the people who are curious. So far I haven't gained weight, or  had hair loss, spotting, or any of that. I have had some headaches here and there, as well as nausea which when I chew some gum it goes away in no time, and also some moodiness not a big deal though. By what I've gone through from the start of it, I would say I definitely love this medicine. Absolutely recommend it to others."


"I was exposed to carbon monoxide chronically and it has effected my thyroid. I was having a period every other week when I went into my doctor to see what was going on, and my Lh hormone was way too high. I did my own research into the patch & found out about the increased amount of estrogen and figured I'd give it a try. I had already been on Lo-Seasonique and Seasonique, both were great at first, then I'd have breakthrough bleeding. The patch has completely stopped my breakthrough bleeding. I have gained a small amount of weight, but my breasts have grown so I don't notice it much. The patch does leave a red mark when I take it off, but it's gone within a few hours and I don't experience the itching that others have mentioned!"


"My adult ADHD is the result of a traumatic brain injury. This has been helpful with the ADHD, but also with other symptoms from the TBI."


"I was switched to Norvasc from another blood pressure medicine about a week ago. I am not sure if its helping yet for my blood pressure but I am not liking the side effects. I have had a migraine everyday since I started taking it."


"I'm 22 and never been pregnant - I was dreading getting the copper coil as I heard it was so painful but it was grand! So far it's been brilliant! My periods now last about 6 days though. Everyone is different but I totally recommend this - especially if you don't want to take artificial hormones"
