"I was prescribed a low dosage of Risperidone and it was effective at eliminating my paranoid thoughts. However, after 1 year, this medication caused me to gain weight to a level I had never been in my life. I went from 178 lbs to 218 lbs with no changes in diet or exercise. My doctor took me off the medication in July 2009 and by Christmas 2009, my weight dropped to 169 lbs, with some dietary changes. "


"I have the Implanon, an I'm seriously thinking about removing it. The birth control part WORKS but what I've been going through to prevent pregnancy is awful.

My mood swings are often and more stressful than before, I'm never in the mood to have sex, I could go without it forever, is how I feel. I get the inflammation issue down there as well. My periods are spuratic and heavy or light but never consistent. I also haven't been able to loose my baby weight since I've been on this. The other times I was able to shed the weight no problem.

I miss the Patch!"


"I had been battling ear eczema for 3 years with an infection and had been on several medications before this one and I used it once and my ear completely healed up"


"I took the standard prednisone treatment  for severe eczema on my hands. I was amazed by how well it worked. The very next day the pain had receded and my hands began healing. I did experience a somewhat elevated heartbeat for the first couple days but it improved as time went on. Excellent product but you can't stay on it long term."


"Was forced to switch from 4 to 6 Norco every 24 hrs. to Hysingla ER 30. I've gotten massive headaches every day in the past 6 wks. since starting it, far less pain relief, itching and swollen abdomen. My Dr. insists I need to stick with it."


"I was prescribed Adderall XR for lack of focus and attention. After being on the medicine (10 mg) for 4 days I felt very confused and had trouble talking. I was stumbling over my words and second guessing myself. My appetite was altered (as expected) but I made sure I ate frequently. I also noticed I was very impulsive and short tempered, more than usually. I just wasn't my normal self on this medicine. I'm glad it has worked for many people, but it did not agree with me."


"I am 19 years old and this is my first time on birth control. I chose this one because it is fairly inexpensive if I didn't have insurance to cover as well as fitting my body. I have no bad experiences with it at all, no weight gain or anything and it does its job! Needless to say I love this pill!"


"I just started taking Effexor last week for depression, anxiety and racing thoughts. Seems to be working, but I noticed some side effects, like dry mouth and nervousness, but not a big issue. It works much better than Zoloft, Celexa and Serzone, which I've taken in the past. So far, so good."


"Hi, I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After 2 years of heavy drinking and 20 years with periods of mid consumption 20 drinks only weekends interdispersed with periods on drinking everyday I finally discovered this drug. It's incredible. I try to drink 6 or 8 Heinekens, my usually quota, but it's impossible. After the first I order some food, like an hamburger. And stop drinking after the meal. Go to home, clean the house and sleep. Sleep very well. My obsession with casual games stops too. I don't care anymore about the others opinions, social anxiety reduces and life goes on. I see the problems I need to fix after two or three years of heavy drinking. A lot of problems with banks, family, girls and my daughters need my presence and dedication"


"Third day on this medicine, it's crazy how things are going. I used to wake up and an hour later be exhausted. Barely make it through 2 hours of college and go home and sleep 5 hours until work and sleep right after work. The past couple of days I've been able to stay awake through a movie, stay up for my favorite T.V show, do homework and laundry after school, be more attentive at my job and I don't feel like I'm on speed."


"I'm back with Androgel packet (1 in morning) after stopping the medication 2 years ago due to elevated liver count and negative side effects.  I'm now 50 and was diagnosed at 200 count a few months ago and decided to try it once again.   I am no longer dealing with hot flashes, depression and mood swings - this cured me.  However, I have enlarged breast, slight weight gain, swollen ankles and not sleeping as well.   Back to the Dr. next week to discuss options.   Overall satisfied but may need to adjust script somehow."


"Helped a lot. My cough was horrible and this helped me through the nights. I would recommend this."


"It was TERRIBLE. I have had Nexplanon for 1 year (June 6, 2013 - Scheduled removal appointment May 27, 2014). For the first 4 months, I got my period very heavy for about a week and would spot everyday after my period until the next month. After that stage, I would have a period for about 2 weeks and wouldn't spot for about 2 weeks. It has been this way FOREVER and I don't know why I gave this Birth Control so long to ruin my sex life. I broke out on the sides of my face.. which is Hormonal Acne. I do not recommend any one get this BC. Stick to condoms and the pill. "


"I was very uneasy always sad, lost how to be happy, jumpy at the slightest things and panic and from the second or third pill began to feel a difference. I felt like I could have fun again or really smile at least. It is like my brain needed a little help adjusting to difficult situations."


"First time being diagnosed with BV and doctor put me on this med 2x daily for a week. Today is the last day and I am dreading taking the last pill. The side effects have been awful. After about 4 days some side effects such as nausea seemed to go away, but were replaced with tingling hands and feet. The side effects have been so strong that it's hard to tell if I've even gotten better and honestly the side effects have freaked me out and made me more anxious about everything. I feel sick sick sick. When I first started the meds I didn't really exhibit a lot of symptoms but being on the meds seemed to exacerbate them. I read a review here saying Kombucha would help with the symptoms and it did! If the side effects are getting to you."


"I was prescribed this temporarily for a bout of rapid resting heart rate.  I was unfortunate enough to have some of the severe side effects, including depression.  I was inconsolable as every tiny little thing set me off to bawling!  I also had tightness in the chest when I tried to walk down the street.  Definitely did what it was supposed to do, which was slow my heart, but the side effects were too much."


"I have been using it for 3months now. I skip using it for days at a time but then the pain comes back. I use it mainly as an inflammatory and mild pain removal from a back surgery I had in 1997  It does make me jumpy but when I combine it with Xanax. It evens me out and I feel I can do anything. I am also taking percocets for times it does not take the pain away completely. Now, I am starting to feel normal and evened out mentally."


"I started taking this several months ago and aside from the partial loss in some sexual stimulation, some itchiness/shaky/light-headedness - this has restored my life. I was a bundle of problems before with a very erratic heart beat, stress off the charts and other depressive symptoms. A BIG thank you to my doctor and anyone that put up with me before propranolol. HIGHLY recommend it."


"I have been on 10mg Jardiance for 5 weeks now. My reactions: excessive sweating (shirts are visably soaked), extreme thirst, and vaginal yeast infections. Jardiance also gave me headaches the first two days I started. Right away my numbers dropped from the 160-190 range to 125-135 range however within a week it went up into the 150-160's. I believe that is partly because Jardiance caused my body to produce more glucagon (a hormone that promotes insulin resistance and raises blood sugar). Not sure the net gain is worth it?"


"I have been taking Lutera up for almost two full months n Now. I would not recommend this pill to my worst enemy I have been bleeding since day one it started out with new blood and now for the last month it's been dried up brown old blood this is not what I signed up for. It's doing the exact opposite of what it's supposed to be doing lightning your period and cramps. My Obgyn says to stick it out for 3 months but screw him. He's not bleeding for an entire month so why should I suffer. Wouldn't recommend this pill."


"Ive never done a review, so thats saying something here. I've only been on Retin-A for about two weeks and I'm already seeing fantastic results. I had mild acne usually one to two cystic like pimples always on my face, and tons of blackheads across my chin and had two giant red splotches of skin near the corners of my mouth for months! Two weeks of 0.1% and they're already fading! The pimples are already gone too! Only been dealing with some mild peeling, dryness and slight redness of the skin but I know that's normal. I never thought I'd feel fine going out in public ever again."


"I have been taking zomig for a couple of years. It definitely takes my migraines away but my skin and muscle hurt every time. I have to plan showering around it. Today I had a very bad reaction after going on a very brisk 2 mile walk. My face and skin were flush, nauseous and hyper sensitivity to light. Migraine came back w a vengeance. Felt somewhat like heat stroke which isn't possible as it's 70 degrees. Almost went to hospital.  Iced my head and rested. Finally feeling better. Note to self.. Do not exert myself on this medication!"


"I went on Zoloft, 50mg, in December 2009.  About a month later I pushed it up to 100mg.  It has definitely helped my mood and also seems to help me to lose weight (which is a most wonderful thing for me). I also take lamotrogine.

I have been experiencing a clenched jaw and stiff shoulders though, but when I asked my psychiatrist about that today,  she said she had not heard of that happening with Zoloft before.

I don't sleep well,  but I have always been an insomniac.  My psychiatrist told me that Zoloft will not help me to sleep. "


"I know people react to medication differently, some have had great experience but most have seen the dark side of this medication. I've been on multiple medications, this is definitely the last one I will ever go on. My suicidal thoughts increased to almost daily, felt like self harming my self all the time. super irritable. I was only on the medication for 2 months, before I was on effexor for almost 2 years.. multiple medications before. I decided to wean off of it with the help of the pharmacist for a month.. after officially off of them I have never felt something so horrible as these withdrawal symptoms. so dizzy I couldn't get off out of bed for 4 days, brain zaps, shaking uncontrollably, hit and cold flashes.. ect. BE CAREFUL"


"I am taking 0.5 mg twice a day and it works. I also take Lexapro 10 mg and Seroquel 25 mg."


"I've been on Gamunex since it was introduced. I take 60 grams every three weeks in about 2-1/2 hours. I have no side effects and pre-medicate with Allegra and Advil. It is by far the easiest tolerated of any of the IViG products. I've used IViG for over 30 years. Works for me."


"I can't speak on how well this birth control is long term because I literally just got it placed yesterday. But I wanted to write a review on the placement because I read some of these beforehand and the horror stories almost scared me out of it. IT WAS NOT TERRIBLE AT ALL and I do not take pain well. Of course, everyone has their own pain threshold and different bodies. It also really depends on when in your cycle you get it done. I got it done about 5 days after ending my period. My doctor said my cervix was in perfect condition for the procedure as it was slightly open and "paper thin". It did hurt but the pain lasted for 5 seconds and was not sharp but like a really strong cramp. And now I'm 3 years baby free! Well worth it."


"I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at 11 yrs old and was on Synthroid since until last year (I was 28). After I was off all medication for about 6 months and my blood test came back at a dangerous level, my doctor immediately got me back on a lower dosage of Synthroid, but I had one of the worst side effects from it - so she quickly switched me to Armour and gradually upped the dose from 30mg until I got to 120mg and my blood levels were back to normal.  I've never felt better!  I started to lose the weight I gained during my non-medicated time and I have energy I thought I never had.  At this point, I refuse to go back to Synthroid.  I wish I knew of this before now, everyone around me can see the difference in my moods, a lot happier!"


"I've been on Contrave for almost 2 weeks now. Lost about 5lbs. Have not had any bad side effects but energy levels are low. Looking into trying low carb diet to see if it helps with more weight loss."


"Was given Nexium after my H. pylori infection. Worked very well in healing my stomach, but I had to take it everyday for a number of years."


"Atarax was very effective in treating interstitial cystitis.  I could not take the generic form.  I was told when I went to get a refill that it had been taken off the market.  Nothing has helped me as much as Atarax.  "


"I took Loestrin for about 2 months total and it was a horrible experience. The first month was fine. The second month, things started to get worse. I was extremely nauseous and fatigued and didn't feel like myself. I started having several stomach problems after starting the second month (gastritis, irritable bowel). I also developed ovarian cysts which I never had before. I developed a kidney stone as well, but that was a preexisting condition, maybe it was just coincidental? All of this happened within about 6 weeks, which made my life hell. I tried to make myself continue taking Loestrin and couldn't do it. Apparently it just wasn't for me. I know they say you should stick out the first couple of months, but it wasn't worth it to me."


"I'm 14 and a freshman in High school. My confidence is very low because of my acne but I have been taking this medication for 2 weeks and I have noticed a big difference! My confidence is a tad bit higher even though I still have acne. But on the bad side I have been having BAD migraines and nausea. But I can cope with it because it has helped my acne so well!"


"I was prescribed this after a car accident and have found that it does nothing to relieve the pain or muscle stiffness and it either doesn't relieve headaches or causes them as well as stomach discomfort"


"I just started taking Lisinopril 5 mg. My diagnosis has been labile high blood pressure often around 140/90. My cardiologist prescribed it, along with Atenolol 100 mg and a diuretic 12.5 (Hydrochlorothiazide) which I have been taking for years. In the past two weeks, my blood pressure has been down to a more normal range. I haven't had any noticeable side effects. Doctor did some blood work on 8/31 for kidney function and that was all fine.  I have started dieting to lose about 30 lbs and swimming three or four days a week. I feel much better now that I am really exercising and not just making excuses."


"I read all the previous reviews before doing the bowel prep and borrowed all the ideas I thought would work for me.  Two days before my procedure I kept my diet pretty light with limited meat.  The day before was all clear liquids, Gatorade, and coconut water.  I was worried about nausea and vomiting so called my doctor who said I should take GasEx 30 minutes before starting the Suprep.  I followed the directions on the box but cut some lemon wedges to suck on in between drinks of the liquid.  I didn't think it was awful (not as bad as taking Nyquil). No nausea or cramping. It was pretty simple. Did not use GasEx for morning dose and had mild vomiting. Otherwise, much easier than anticipated."


"I have been on Nexplanon for 2 years now and I want it out!!! I have an appointment next week. I have gained about 40-50 lbs in the last 2 years!!!! I am not happy with myself. I have no sex drive. Monthly although I don't have a period I still get cravings and feel bloated. I also get bad acne once a month, which I never had before! My moods have been all over the place the last 2 years. I am ready to get back to feeling like myself."


"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."


"Soolantra is working pretty well.  No side effects and cleared up some of the problem.  Have only been using it for 2 weeks and I do see improvement.  I had a bad reaction to Metrogel and while Finacea worked for me, it is expensive and stings my skin.  Will stick with Soolantra I think."


"I've just turned 48, and for the past year or so I've had mid-cycle breakthrough bleeding. Six months ago this changed to a daily, dark brown, old blood discharge. My ob/gyn thought that low estrogen was the cause so I tried birth control pills for the first time in over 20 years. The first two brand made things worse, and then I tried Yasmin. The daily bleeding stopped within 24 hours and stayed away. Side effects for me are a bit of breast tenderness and some weight loss. I don't care what other side effects show up, to be honest. I'm so glad I tried Yasmin."


"I would not be able to perform the daily routine of tasks that I have before me without the help of actiq during the day."


"I have tried pretty much all antidepressants under the sun and having been taking antidepressants since I was 15 years old. Prozac worked for me for about 2 years then after going up to the highest dosage, it lost its effect. All other antidepressants I have taken have had multiple negative side effects. Pristiq is the only antidepressant I have taken that has had NO negative side effects and doesn't interact with any of my other medications. Pristiq has literally been a lifesaver for me."


"Before Buspar my anxiety from post traumatic stress disorder was very out of control. Xanax and Ativan barely touched it. My constant anxiety led to a suicide attempt because I was in constant fear which felt like constant panic. I've taken Buspar 15mg 3x a day for almost a month now and I have my life back. Only side effect is a little tiredness. But I will take that over what my life was like."


"I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years after a Mastectomy for Estrogen based Breast cancer.  During the last years and ongoing I have been overwhelmed with fatty tumors.  Some are growing at a rapid rate and some that were soft are turning hard??  They are on my rib cage, my abdomen, my legs and 1 or 2 on my arms.  I seem to be the only one concerned."


"The most effective medicine for gout I REPEAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE thing is GUAIFENESIN. The expectorant!

I suffered gout attack for 15 years or so - was on Allopurinol. Prednisone shots.

You don't need ANY OF THAT. Buy the largest dose you can find; 800 mg tablets, 1200 mg is the strongest. Take at the first sign of an attack; repeat until the attack is thwarted. 2 is about the max for most people; the attack should end very quickly!

I haven't had an attack in years. As far as I'm concerned, either it cured me or I grew out of gout in my early to mid sixties.

I wish I had known this 25 years ago. YOU KNOW IT NOW. CURE YOURSELF with this miracle cure. Free from me to you!"


"I have used Drixoral for years. It is the only thing that helps me with my head congestion and my asthma. It helps me to breath better. I notice that I do not have to use my albuterol when I use it. I noticed since I don't have drixoral my breathing is not good when it is humid or when something else can trigger my asthma. I hope they bring the product back otherwise I am going to suffer."


"Initially this medicine gave me nausea and loss of appetite and sex drive but those symptoms went away. After two weeks I must say that I'm feeling better but I'm still hopeful that after the full 4 weeks I will be doing better. Don't be scared from bad reviews, you need to try it first to see how your body reacts to it. "


"I'm 36 hours in on this medicine and experiencing pretty bad headaches. Of course it is the weekend and I can't really do anything until Monday. I still feel a slight twinge when I urinate. This is my first time on this medication. I'm hopeful that when I wake up tomorrow morning I will have more of an improvement."


"Adderall worked okay on me, but I wanted to try this to see if it worked better and without side effects. I'd heard good things, but for me it did not work out. My anxiety spiked. I noticed my heart rate felt too fast even though I was just sitting there and it was just a very uncomfortable anxious feeling. Even with the dosage high enough to give me this much anxiety, it didn't work very well! I would forget to do things all the time for example. And I see why they use this on binge eating disorder because it made me not want to eat even when I was hungry. At least it kept me awake and slightly more focused than I would be without the medication, but I'm going to explore other options."


"Finally got my Skyla IUD taken out today. I immediately felt better afterwards, bye bye acne, weight gain, and depression! Only good thing about Skyla was that I didn't have a period. That's it. I wish it worked for me but everybody's different!!! Going natural for a while so my body will relax without all the hormones I've had. Me and my boyfriend choose not to have sex anyway! Good experience, DEFINITLEY learned what my body doesn't like. If I do get on birth control again I'm going back to Loryna pills."


"Within a few weeks of starting Celexa my depression disappeared almost completely. The side effects that are the most noticeable for me are tiredness, weight gain, and sensitivity to light. The stuff does its job, but the side effects are a bit hard to deal with."


"I had moderate to severe chest pain for over a year. I'm athletic and in good shape. Doctors did all sorts of tests and couldn't find anything wrong with my heart. Aventyl 25 mg after one dose I was pain free and have been so for three months. Life saver!"


"Wonderful but expensive."


"I am a teenager who has anxiety/panic attacks occasionally, and my physcisian has been giving me 0.5mg of Xanax for the past couple months to take as needed for anxiety. I can't tell you how wonderful this medication has been. After 15-20 min of taking it my anxiety/panic feelings diminish completely, and I have no need to feel anxious about anything after that. "


"Did what birth control is suppose to do , caused frequent crying spells around my period time for no reason at all.. The cramps were horrible causing vomiting which never happened.. Overall it does the main job, prevent pregnancy"


"I used Cialis 5mg per day for benign prostate enlargement from November 2013 until November 2015. Although it was apparently effective for limiting prostate problems, since I stopped it in November 2015 I am 99% sure that, as a person with zero history of epilepsy, it caused me to suffer from Transient Epileptic Amnesia [TEA] with the TEA during 2014 being unrecognised due to nocturnal episodes. There is also a strong possibility that my gradual increases in food sensitivities during this period leading to Irrritable Bowel Syndrome was linked to Cialis. This drug should be withdrawn right away for this condition."


"I started my treatment 11weeks+2 Day's ago, now I've only 5 days to go  and my experience of the treatment using epclusa tablets (1 daily) has been fine, Now don't get me wrong I've suffered diarrhoea and tiredness but only had a few days of it, I think that the price of epclusa treatment is surprisingly excessive at 25 thousand pound for only 28 tablets"


"I have used the Butrans patch for several years and paid a premium price at CVS.   Wal Green's has a generic patch and it cost more than half the price!
If you a cortisone nose spray on your skin before the patch is applied it will not give you an allergic reaction to the adhesive.    I have had stomach problems with the NSAIDs and the patch is great!
I don't think I could work if it wasn't for the patch,
FYI:    Everyone reacts differently to meds, so don't not try it.
It works great for me.  So I have nothing negative to say about this patch.   My insurance covers the generic brand.
$264 verses $750 brand name"


"Took this medicine and went to take my grandson for a walk. Half way around the block, I had SEVERE heartburn that I have never felt before. I felt like my throat was burning! 2 hours later, 4 Tums and 2 doses of Maalox, I am still in pain. I am taking it for a infection? after a root canal. I think my tooth has a big crack in it that they can't see. "


"It has not been easy but I am not giving up on it yet.
Hang in there people."


"I just started Contrave on 2/27/17, weighing in at 274 lbs.  As of this morning, my weight is down to 270.6 lbs.  I am taking Contrave and I joined Weight Watchers to hold myself accountable for the food I eat.  It has been a struggle, because I am simply not hungry.  I have no side effects to report.  The one time I did feel nauseous was because I was forcing myself to eat when I wasn't hungry.  I will continue this process, and I hope that I have as much success as I did the first two days.  I have also increased my water intake and I am sure that I will lose lots of water weight in the process.  One thing is for sure, my craving are gone.  I can't wait to see what this process does for me in the long run."


"Hives out of no where 4 years ago. Severe angioedema as well. 6 antihistamines a day, prescriptions, Tagamet acupuncture etc etc etc....4 years of being covered in hives every single day. Gave up on medicine.... And then decided one more try.  My immunologist said Xolair and I had my first shot exactly a week ago today and haven't had a hive for two days!   I had just one or two for The first few days after the shot   The shot did make me lethargic for a few days but that has passed"


"I took Lamictal for 7 years with no seizures and no side effects - wonderful medicine.  They switched me to generic in 2009, have had 2 seizures in 1 1/2 year - increased dosage, but blood levels inconsistent.  Neurologist swears it's not the generic, but has no explanation for why it's not keeping level.  Stay with the Lamictal if you can, it's wonderful."


"For anyone who is hesitant about trying an anti depressant like Prozac because maybe you have too much pride, or you're embarassed that you have to take a pill everyday to feel like yourself. I was suffering with anxiety and depression for about 5 years after a really traumatic car accident and refused to try anything. I'm in my early 20s I thought I was too young. I only wished I would've listened to my body and mind sooner. Prozac changed my life. I only take 20mg and it is incredible. I feel happy.. I feel calm. I feel like my old self. I haven't had any anxiety in months.. I'm not moody. It's like that big dark cloud is finally gone, don't be afraid to try this anti depressant. Im a brand new Me, because of it. I feel invincible"


"I started this med on 12/22/15 and have lost 4.8lbs, without exercise, over Christmas.  I am very happy with the results and expect even more when I get to the gym. (I work 12-16 hour nightshifts 3 days a week and teach 2 days at a local university so this can be an issue. The side effects that I have experienced are constipation, slight dry mouth, slight lightheadedness occasionally, and some stomach issues with pain and cramping that are resolving. I was a carboholic previously and have cut down drastically. I would have a glass of wine with dinner on my nights off and really don't even want that. I was not interested in the desserts that were available over the holidays. I get full quickly and am not hungry at all."


"I was on Levemire and Novolog for several years, excelent controll with A1C's from 5.9 to the high 6.+ hardly ever out of the 6.something range.  However, I was recently switched to Toujeo, now my blood levels are anywhere from 80 to nearly 300 (fasting) A1C was recently 7.3, waiting for lab results to see what level my A1C is now.  Been on the Toujeo for about 4 months now, thought maybe it would take some time to start working, obviously, different brands work differently for different people just from reading the above remarks..."


"Been on sertraline for 4 months now. Initially 50mg up to 100mg after the  first two months and I feel really good. Better than I have in years, which is surprising as I think my depression only started within the last year. So perhaps I wasn't as carefree as I thought.

My emotions are muted so no low lows but also no highs, so no feelings of joy or excitement - but I'm ok with that actually I'm ok with everything. I don't feel anxious, stressed, angry or frustrated. I feel confident because I don't care about consequences which is both good and bad.
I've spoken to strangers, which is something I never did before... And I enjoy the interaction..
I'm really pleased with sertraline for my depression and the added bonus of reducing anxiety."


"I've been on Sprintec for 2 weeks now & have been great ! I did a lot of research before I started. I take it at night since your body is more prone to sickness taking it right in the morning. I haven't had any nausea or huge side effects. I was SO HUNGRY the first week. I would eat dinner take the pill then get immediately hungry again. But now that has gone away and it's just a pill to me. If this pill makes you sick , try changing how you take it or when. Try everything before you give up."


"When I was in high school, people would notice how great my skin was. In junior high, I started getting one to a few small pimples and then they turned into big bumps. I was crying and even praying they'd go away. I did a lot of research from natural remedies to medications, but boy nothing ever worked like this one has, and still is working for me. It came to a point I don't care anymore if I was washing my face twice a day, after 2 to 3 weeks my skin's clear. Although scars are still there, but at least, I can wake up each day only to mind those scars and not anymore with those big ones that I know that have pusses inside. Even those scars I had at my back's just gone. I'd rather try this than accutane. Try it. It's a Godsend for me."


"I loved it til I had my first reaction after 8 months using it . my life has improved."


"First birth control pill I've tried. The first month I had spotting and a normal period. The second month I had light spotting and an extremely light 2 day period. This medication made me depressed and tired. I am now two weeks into Beyaz"


"I am doing maintenance with Rituxan for Non Hodgin's Lymphoma. Last Chemo was March 2011. This medicine saved my life, and still does so."


"I used YAZ for about 3 months, and I would give it a 5. The period was very light for me and it had no impact on weight gain or weight loss. It also seemed to have decreased my love for food. So in that sense it was nice.

However for the first couple months, I was extremely emotional. I felt overwhelmed about everything and I felt like crying about everything. 3rd month everything seem to have calmed down except the occasional emotional outbursts.
After I was on Yaz, I constantly felt pressure in my chest area and heartburn-like symptoms. I never had these symptoms before I started taking Yaz."


"Before going on this birth control I had mild acne. I wanted to go on birth control to clear up my skin but Trinessa did the total opposite for me. It made my skin ten times worse. I would wake up every morning with a new huge welt somewhere on my face and horrible pimples around my mouth and jawline. I continued using this birth control in hopes that it was just an initial break out and it would clear up (like everyone said it would) but after 6 months my skin was still horrible. The day after I stopped using Trinessa my skin cleared up almost instantly. I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. It is horrible. Even after being off of it for almost four months I still have scarring. Please find a different birth control!!"


"Works great"


"I have suffered from erosive esophagitis and GERD for over 5 years.  After the use of numerous medications, Prevacid has worked the longest and most consistent with control of diet."


"Excellent! Do not be afraid of the reviews. Everyone is different. I'm 47, tried others but this is by far the best! No weight gain, less mood swings, overall fantastic. Biggest challenge is taking the pill at the same time everyday."


"I take Ativan for panic attacks as well as general anxiety. I must say, it works very very well. When compared to Xanax, I think Xanax is more effective in stopping the panic attack but Ativan is better at just avoiding an attack altogether. It kicks in just as fast as Xanax but seems to linger in the system longer. So for me, when I took Xanax and was panicking I had to take, then I'd be great, then have to take again, etc. Ativan for me has been more smoother. I take and I am good. I do have to take a higher dosage than I would of Xanax but barely. I think this medication is great for panic and general anxiety though never try to take a benzo as a regimen. The withdrawals are dehabilitating!"


"I got paragard in January of 2016.  I was attracted to the thought of being hormone-free and it sounded more natural to me. I had been on birth control for about 6 years so I was really excited about just being back on my own. I thought I might be able to even lose a few pounds since it is hormone free. Also, not having to worry about pregnancy or forgetting to take a pill was very attractive.

After only two months, I've decided to get my paragard removed due to the following reasons:

Extremely heavy periods...I mean buying the "ultra" size tampon and having to change it every 2-3 hours, bleeding on the sheets overnight, taking a bath and standing up and literally seeing the blood just dripping into the tub...like hemorraging almost."


"I was one of the first to go on Harvoni following FDA approval. I did 12 weeks from Dec 2014 to Feb 2015. Only mild tiredness nothing else while taking it. Have been clear since..

 I was diagnosed in 1997 and did not want the treatments at that time or until Harvoni came on the scene. I believe I had it many years before being diagnoses and the blood count kept rising as the years went by. Glad I played the waiting game"


"I gained almost 20 pounds and I have not had a sex drive"


"Absolutely love it. I have a higher sex which is good for my husband lol would recommend"


"This medication has helped me out very much.  I used to get anxiety attacks often about school or work, a couple times a week but now I rarely get them at all.  I also used to just "blow up" in arguments with my wife but now I feel in control of my actions and speech."


"I will NEVER use any statin again,I experienced neuropathy and muscle weakness. I felt 20 years older and this was on a 10 mg a day. The side effects which I believe were statin related did not show up for one full year. They did bring my cholesterol numbers down, but my quality of life greatly went down. Took me 3 years after quitting to not feel the affects of this any more. At one point my muscles were so weak I could barely lift my purse, I had prickling and numbness in my legs,varms and feet. It was horrible!"


"You've to try it to believe it. I had genital warts (HPV) and with Aldara I'm wart-free for 2 years."


"I have been on Topamax now for 2 years. I reached a breaking point where I almost lost my job because I was calling out of work so much with 3-4 (sometimes 5) migraines a week. I was initially annoyed because I wanted it to work immediately, but I still had migraines. You have to titrate the dose up 25 mg a week. I initially went up to the recommended 100 mg, but I hated the "loss of words" feeling I had, and found that I had about 1-2 migraines a month. So I decided to go back to 75 mg and see what happened. I had less loss of words and finger tingling, and yet my amount of migraines stayed at 1-2/month. This has been a lifesaver for me. I don't know what I would do without it."


"I am experiencing severe itching for the past month and is driving me crazy"


"I found immense relief with Inderal, on just 10mg every morning and night....it was like a miracle as preventative and I also have found it dulls a migraine if one happens to break through, by taking an extra one.  I had been waking up with a bad headache/migraine every day, which lasted all day.  Codeine was my only vague relief in mega doses.  My only complaint is that since commencing Inderal I have gained 10kg and no dieting seems to help!  All this in only 12 months.  The other side effects have been an increase to my allergy intolerance to certain foods ie chocolate and a heightened problem with low blood sugar.  So, the doctor has just commenced me on Topamax instead 25mg every morning and night.  Will report how this compares!"


"Was tested for lasick eye surgery.the last test doctor lipstock told me I wasn't a candidate.he said the coreg makes your pupils srink.he said most heart doctors don't know that. Not reversible."


"My grandmother has been perscribed Darvon for many years now. She has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and to deal with the pain has been almost handed a whole pharmacy. But nothing (i.e. Morphine, Vicodin)  touches her pain or is as fast acting as her Darvon. I would definitely say that for her, Darvon is a life saver."


"Received during chemotherapy with Cisplatin.  Worked great!"


"I had the nexplanon put in June of 2015 and it has just gotten worse as the months roll on. At first the only side effect I noticed was a change in my mood swings. It went from pms right before my period to all the time. Then I started getting worst cramps then I had before, which were bad already. Next I started to lose more hair than normal and getting acne worse than I usually do. As of right now I no longer have periods and they weren't generally messed up timing wise when I was first put on it though. I am more generally mad that my ob did not warn me about these side effects in the first place though. I would love to get it removes but now my insurance no longer covers it and I haven't really decided what I'm going to do."


"Chantix is amazing. I got whooping cough & had to quit. I had tried everything to quit prior to getting whooping cough, but nothing worked. Chantix did. It massively decreases the urge to smoke. Love this. For all those claiming to experience nausea with Chantix, I did too until I started taking Chantix after eating and with a full glass of milk. Take your Chantix with food/milk & this should eliminate the nausea side effect completely. That's how I take Chantix and I no longer experience nausea. I also experience intense dreams, but they're not nightmarish, just very wild, illogical, and just plain silly dreams!"


"This pill was low cost and extremely helpful for my poor complexion. However, I've gained weight, had daily headaches, and I've felt extremely dizzy after taking it for 4 months. There were benefits, but they did not outweigh the side effects for me."


"After only a couple days I noticed a big difference! I was calm and relaxed. Others noticed my mood improvement as well.
Some symptoms of my OCD behavior became a little better as well.

Bad part: I couldn't orgasm and eventually I started getting abdominal pains everyday and diarrhea every day so I had to stop taking it."


"I was originally put on OrthoTricyclin Lo for my acne, but I couldn't afford it so I was switched to trisprintec.

Like I said, I was originally put on this for acne, but then my boyfriend and I started having sex so I was using it for it's BC effects too. It has worked WONDERS. My acne has cleared up, I'm not pregnant (you need to take it regularly though! don't forget!), no mood swings, and my periods are shorter and lighter.

However, I didn't experience the GOOD side effects till after 3 months in! I was moody, bloated, and nauseous, but my body needed to get used to it. I encourage you to try and stick it out for a bit if you just started and are feeling that way. keep up with it and maybe you'll like it too!"


"I have suffered from severe, chronic constipation for over 5 years. This past August, I started drinking 2-3 capfuls of Miralax a day & was taking a massive dose of magnesium. Still, my abdominal pain/constipation persisted. Shortly after upping the Miralax/magnesium, I began to notice blood in my stools. As the fall progressed, I passed a bowel movement MAYBE once a week & it left me crying in pain each time. I was bloated & miserable. Recently, I saw a new GI who decided to do an endoscopy which revealed a large, bleeding stomach ulcer. She also decided to have me try Linzess. I have gone to the bathroom 1-2 times a day EVERY DAY since. This drug changed my life. *** TIP: DRINK MAG CITRATE 1-2 DAYS BEFORE STARTING TO AVOID CRAMPING/PAIN"


"Whoever said the only thing worse than taking it is taking the second dose had it right. It's salty and disgusting. I mixed with lemonCrystal Lite which helped. The difficult part is chasing it with another 16oz of water. You get so full you may vomit. Once it starts working it's not bad. No cramps, no "near misses". Overall a barbaric experience I hope to never repeat. Rated 10 for the effectiveness, 0 for the experience, so average rate is 5."


"I was started on OxyContin and Oxycodone for pain about 7 years ago. My addiction started slowly, with the high energy and elation to begin with until I needed more and more to feel the same 'high'. After awhile no matter how much I had, I couldn't feel that 'high'. I realized that I needed it to feel a resemblance to normal. My life and my thoughts were consumed with getting more, more and more. I wasn't being anything but a junkie! I wanted to get my life back so I checked myself into Rehab. They started me on Suboxone and therapy. I have now been clean for almost 5 months and I had only slight side effects. But the miracle it gives the people who take it is so monumental that it seems silly to point out any faults with it. I'm back to myself!"


"I've been on this for a couple months now it has helped but one issue all I do is sleep."


"Hi, ladies I've read several stories and I can say I can relate to just about all of them. I've had implanon since end of 2010 after my body rejected mirena proceeding the birth of my daughter in September 10. Headaches, mood swings, weight gain, extreme bleeding, horrible cramping. I complained to my ob/gyn and she assured me its normal and would subside and it did to an extent. Nexplanon was the upgrade due to its easier to now find than my implanon was. But I have since had other medical problems I'm waiting on another opinion to see if I should have it removed."


"I'm on week 11 of my pack. Started off fine with no spotting. I have now been spotting with no break for the past 3 weeks. I have to wear a pantyliner everyday. Also the packaging on this brand is horrible!"


"I am 24 years old and have been taking CamreseLo for approximately 2 and a half years.  I love this pill;  I have had no side effects.

I have been on a birth control continuously since I was 12 because of an extremely heavy and irregular menstruation.

After being on CamreseLo for a year, my flow became very minimal. Now after over 2 years, my period only lasts 1 day.  It's amazing considering I have very minimal spotting in between the 3 months of active pills.

It has also reduced my cramps; which used to be so bad I couldn't move."


"Taking 10mg for almost a month.

Feeling good. Was on Prozac 60mg after 10+ years.

I do not see much mention of sexual side effects mentioned.

But I notice what seems to be on this med.  Did not have any problem on the Prozac."


"I have been taking Savella for almost 5 months and am overall very disappointed. Switching from Lexapro to Savella made for one week of hellish symptoms. Then I had nearly every awful side effect that is listed for Savella: rapid heartbeat, nausea, constipation, sweating, shivering, insomnia,etc. I WAS getting some significant pain relief, though, maybe 60%. The rapid heartbeat was a real concern, so I cut back to 75 mg. for a few weeks. The pain relief decreased, so I went back up to 100mg. again. Although the rapid heartbeat was no longer a problem, the FM pain relief has never returned either, and I still have the side effects, though the severity has lessened. My plantarfascitis pain is the only pain that is really reduced."


""I have been taking this medicine for only a few days now and have noticed some things that have me very concerned  because it was given for pain but I have been experiencing major side effects. The first thing that started was headaches then depression , nausea , stomach aches,feeling of swelling of my legs, feet, ankles, hands and it feels like I'm retaining fluid all over my body,I didn't have these side effects when I was taking Morphine without the extra ingredient like the Ebedea has and now am worried that I am going to be in sever pain as this medication does very little for my pain."


"Dropped sugar way to much"


"I bought this pill after my boyfriend and I had sex. A few drinks in and we made the bad decision of allowing him to finish inside me. I took the pill with in 24-48 hours. The pill did not work and I ended up pregnant."


"Been on 50 mg for 4  days.  No real side effects and I think it's starting to work a little bit.  I'm also being weened off of 60mg Cymbalta.  I wonder how long I need to keep taking the cymbalta.  Still also taking xanax .25mgas needed but seems to be getting less each day."


"I have been taking xyzal now for 10 days. The first couple of days I thought I had finally found the answer to my chronic cough and allergy symptoms. It helped me to sleep through the night without coughing and most of the day. By about the fifth or sixth day I started having severe muscle aches and joint pain over my entire body. My mother is 88 years old and I feel like how she describes her body pain. The last few days I have been trying to decide if its worth the pain and fatigue until this morning on the 10th day. On top of the joint pain, muscle aches, tiredness, oh and crazy vivid dreams, I felt myself wanting to cry several times today. thats just not me. I'm done!!!"


"I'm 31, married with 2 kids and was looking for a more permanent form of birth control. Overall I've been satisfied with the Mirena, I've had it almost 3yrs now. I didn't have too much discomfort with the insertion, just some mild cramping. The first 6 months my period was very irregular, a lot of spotting but not heavy and now it's more regular and has remained light which is nice, no cramping. My only compliant would be an increase in acne, that's really been my only side effect."


"I've been taking Zoloft for 3 days on a doctors recommendation and don`t notice any of the the benefits yet. I have felt a whole bunch of side effects including nausea, loss of appetite, drowsiness and diarrhea. I'll be seeing the doctor in two days and from what I understand these side effects should decrease over time. "


"Severe dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, feeling out of it, shortness of breath."


"Worst treatment I've tried, may even exacerbate ADHD symptoms. Causes depression, fatigue and anxiety without even working to improve concentration. Don't even feel or act like myself since I started this med. People even know something is wrong when they talk to me. Trying to stop/change treatment, but Doctor only wants to keep me on this med until college semester is over. Have tried Concerta before, worked somewhat."


"Hey everyone. So I have been taking birth control for the last 8 years for my period. I was having a period every two weeks so I was put on the pill when I was 13. I am 21 years old now. I got put on Tri-nessa about two years ago. I don't remember the name of my birth control before then. But it worked so well for me, cleared my acne, easy periods, no problems....until last week. I got admitted into the hospital on Friday for a blood clot in my left lung. I have no family history of clots and I don't smoke so they ruled it that it was the birth control. I wanted people to know to be careful. Because I'm so young to have something like this happen. So please take with caution. It's a very slim chance but it happened to me."


"This product has changed my life. I can wear whatever I like now and not feel self conscious. I am on ADHD medication and that is something that causes excessive sweating. (research it thoroughly if you do not believe that)I thought that I would have to sacrifice focusing for the problem of sweating. No more. I do not have the redness and itching side effects. The only regret I have is not finding a provider who would prescribe this for me sooner."


"Excellent saved my life and sanity. Had gout for 5 weeks in severe pain between 7-11! On a scale of 10. Kept improving slightly then flaring up. Couldn't wear shoes! Have used it now for 5 days and almost all gone! Best with volteren. This is my first gout attack. Also having with meals stops the sickly feeling. Only slight loose stools"


"OMG I wish I had read these comments before buying this product.  I bought the generic version of monistat (the one day treatment) for a YI.  I have had YIs before and they usually go away with a diet change (eating more yogurt, garlic, etc) but not this one.  Felt ok for about an hour after inserting the medicine, but then an increasing burning sensation developed.  It has been a few hours since I started the treatment and given the reviews, I am not looking forward to the rest of the day.  Most of the cream even seems to have already worked itself out and the burning is still there.  I want to wash it the rest out, but have decided to deal with the burn and hope the product works. Will definitely be calling the doctor next time."


"I had Mirena put in about 3 weeks ago and it was not  painful at all. My only concern is that I've been bleeding for 3 weeks and I'm not sure if it's normal. This is my second time having it put in and I don't remember bleeding this much the first time but I guess it's different every time. I would definitely recommend it. "


"Has lowered general anxiety while not eliminating panic attacks. Love this medication and would not like to try any other."


"Omg horrible I have been getting breakthrough bleeding and here I am today on my second week and I am spotting..... not only that but I can cry on the dime and it is so annoying I called my doctor today and they're switching me to Ortho Tri-Cyclen"


"Too soon to tell but noticed immediate sense of well being. Better sleep (>apnea), less frequent urination, but now I see that is one side effect. Also noted feet swelling in first 3 days, but that may be attributable to dietary factors. Overall a very observable increase in energy."


"moderate/severe RA, it's not recommended. Tried it though; very little help. Withdrawal is awful due to anxiety/depression. Its not stated but there must be an ingredient that is also used for antidepressants in xeljanz. Most other countries in the world refuse this drug. Just be careful. Ask for other options!"


"Started taking 50mg about 16 weeks ago, although it's doing what it's supposed to I'm still nauseous at least twice a week, I take it in the morning which isn't great as by 2pm I feel very fatigued, also I've been told by close friends I'm not the same person. I'm more relaxed, nothing phases me anymore which isn't great, I've lost my edge, my identity but it has sorted my anxiety and depression and I no longer have suicidal thoughts so I guess it's a good thing."


"I got my Kyleena August 4th and so far my experience has been great. I had been on the pill, and the bar that's been in your arm for birth control and so far this is by far my favorite. Insertion was very painful for me but I've never had a pap smear or anything similar to what getting an IUD is like. I had super bad cramps for about 3-4 hours and some light bleeding. My doctor gave me 4 ibuprofen to take after the insertion and said to take 2 extra strength Tylenol once I got home. After I took the two Tylenol and napped, I felt a ton better and only had light cramps. Second day, I barely spotted and had minimal cramping and today I have no spotting/bleeding and no cramps. All in all, the pain was worth it and I'm SO happy I got the Kyleena"


"Lost 31 lbs in two months with phentermine now im taking a break and am starting HCG will do 20 days and continue with phentermine since the medication looses its effects if taken for toi long."


"I have been on Microgestin FE 1.5/30 for 15 months. My doctor prescribed it when I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. My cycle would not stop for more than two days, then it would start again. As soon as I started the Microgestin, my cycle regulated the first week. After taking it for about a year my periods are extremely light and very short. The side effects I have experienced are acne, oily skin, and terrible mood swings the week before my period begins. I get very angry and irritable for about two days the week prior to my period. In spite of these side effects this pill has been great for me. I have lost 40 lbs with diet and exercise that I was unable to lose before taking this pill. I highly recommend giving it a try."


"Ativan does not help my constant state of anxiety. I always have tight feeling in chest and jittery body movements.  "


"Lamictal had done wonders for me. It took a while for me to get up to a therapeutic dose, but it's helped with my bipolar depression so much, with no side effects. My only complaint is that you have to build up the doses, starting with 25 mg, and going up from there. I'm currently on 200 mg and still going up!"


"It worked however on the fifth day of taking it i had an Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).  Later found out there was a study out that confirmed hearth Rythym issues."


"My daughter has tried almost every ADHD drug there is.  She is a junior in high school and has a very busy schedule.  Daytrana is the only way she is able to get her homework done.  She takes the patch off an hour before she is done and off to sleep she goes.  This is the only medication that does not have harsh side effect for her.  I hate that I have to drive all over town to find a pharmacy that has it in stock.  I sure hope this shortage ends soon!"


"I am been on Belviq for almost a year.  Immediately upon starting the medication I notice a difference. I didn't have much of an appetite.  I have lost 85 pounds so far.  It's expensive but my health is priceless so I made other adjustments to be able to afford the medication.  With a reduced diet and exercise everyone should get results."


"Wow I've been reading these negative comments but I've had a great experience with this pill!! I'm 19 I was on the shot before this it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. But on this one my only side effects were mild headaches and I'm definetly mode emotional. Also I sleep a lot more. I haven't gained weight. I don't have spotting. It did clear my acne. My boobs feel bigger. But I also think I haven't had the negative effects because I've been taking these vitamins from super supplements they have folic acid calcium and all the vitamins the lady at planned parenthood said I would need and when I stopped taking the vitamins for 2 weeks I felt real shitty!!"


"Was on Lexapro for over 5 years for depression. I could definitely notice a difference for the better. Was no longer suicidal and could work and function on a daily basis again. But still think I could have been happier than I was. The only side effect was loss of libido."


"So doctor recommended Trinessa because my periods have been inconsistent. So I have taken the first 10 pills for the pack and the first 5 days felt great never had any of the side effects. Then I slowly started to notice I would get hot and headaches out of nowhere. Then things got worse I would start crying and getting extremely emotional for no reason. I would feel like I was in a dream with fever, no energy, headache, and cry for hours for no reason. My hormones are all out of control now from just taking the first 10 pills. I wouldn't recommend this pill but then again I'm sure it affects people differently just like any other birth control pill. Just my first experience with the pill (Trinessa) has been terrible."


"So I started just over a week ago, if you eat something high fat you get major tummy troubles. But if you stick to low fat things it’s brilliant. I am on it due to an under active thyroid hindering my weight loss with weight watchers. I have a lot to loose, last week I was 167.6kg 1 weeks later I’m 162.5. So in 1 week I've lost 5kg! Amazing, I will be sticking with them. They also encourage me to make sensible choices in my diet. The only side effects I've had other than the upset tummy’s are burping a lot and loss of appetite, both of which I can live with."


"I gave it two stars, only because it keeps me from getting pregnant. My gynecologist suggested this birth control for me because I asked her for something that can help with my acne. First of all, it made my acne worst. I haven't seen my face this bad since my teenage years. I would also like to note that this is my third month on birth control. I had Aubra before that was given to me at Planned Parenthood. I haven't gotten a period since I started birth control, but I think that's because my body is still trying to get used to the hormones. I also do get cramps on the week I don't take the pills. They are feel so bad. Sometimes I can't do anything because it hurts really bad and I don't even bleed when I get them!"


"I'm 26 years old woman and been on minocycline 100mg for about two weeks and I'm Really Really pleased what it has done for my skin. I've had acne since I was 14 and been struggling with my skin more or less ever since. On its worse I had big painful cystic bumps on my cheeks and especially jawline, inflammation and smaller ones pretty much all around my face. Not a single pimple free day. I started Tri Cyclen birth controls at the same time with this and I don't even need coverup anymore! It made my skin really dry at first but on week two it changed. Didn't have initial breakout at all either, skin's greasiness is gone too. So far this has worked wonders for me! Absolutely love it."

"I'm about to start my fourth month on Gianvi. For the first month or two, I was more emotional than usual and had hunger cravings all the time. Now I feel normal or maybe I've just gotten used to it.
It does kind of weird things for my period. My period doesn't actually start until I'm halfway through the placebo pills, and then it doesn't end until I've taken a couple of the regular pills, so that can be kind of annoying. Period is cramp-free though which is nice.
My breasts have gotten a bit bigger. Didn't seem to affect acne very much, I still break out, no worse or better than before."


"I loved the Nuva Ring! I switch to it after being on Yasmin & seeing all of the scary commercials about it (which I liked too, but I'm a hypochondriac). I liked the fact that I just put it in & didn't have to worry about it for 3 weeks & I always started my period on the same day which was very helpful! I think I gained about 10 lbs while taking it, but I don't think that was due to the birth control, my husband also never noticed it during sex, added bonus;) I wish I could take it while breastfeeding, but my doctor doesn't recommend it. Overall, I loved it!"


"I was in a really bad car wreck in which I had temporary paralysis due to C3 and C4 fractures and was in a halo for almost 4 months. I would have never survived physical therapy and everyday movement with out this medication."


"I was really skeptical about paying so much for a small amount. Usually my cold sores do not get very bad or noticable, however, it did this time. The first day I could feel the tingle, the second day my lip was swollen to where my mouth couldn't close comfortably and blisters had started, by the third day my lip had swelled even bigger and blisters were extremely noticable. And by day four, blisters had popped leaving a dark crusty look, some swelling went down. By the beginning of day four I was ready to pull my hair out. Went to the pharmacy and bought a small tube and began to use it like I use oxygen. Overnight I applied a heavier coat and by day five, the large scab from the blisters fell right off!! Swelling was completely gone!"


"I am 20 years old and I have been taking Tri-Sprintec for about a year and 2 months now. It was my first time on birth control and it has been pretty good for me. I never really got cramps, but when I started taking the pills I started having light cramping before and after my monthly cycle.. but nothing too serious. Overall, I feel like Tri-Sprintec has been pretty awesome! I keep my alarm on my phone, and I'm fine. I do feel like maybe being on the pill is slowing down my weight loss but it's okay. I'm not pregnant, so I don't mind. "


"I have been on a combination of Januvia and Metformin (called Janumet) for a year. A HUGE difference with everything that was tried for the last 30 years (I am 60 now).  The key factor with this is that its operation depends to some extent on the blood sugar level so it does not cause Hypoglycemia!  This enables me to be a bit more hungry before a meal compared to what I was used to (always being scared of entering Hypoglycemia and therefore making sure I was never hungry i.e. eating all the time.  It has changed my life. My fasting sugar is 100, my HbA1C is now 5.7 (used to be 140 and 7.0 with normal glib ethic type medication).  Unbelievable!"


"I started Lo-Loestrin Fe two months ago and am having the worst acne breakouts I have ever had! I am waiting to finish up my third pack and then going to try and switch. I am getting married in three weeks and nothing will work to clear up the acne."


"I have been taking Contrave for 6 days now and I do not have a suppressed appetite or weight loss. I am sorry that I paid for this because it is not cheap. I wish that I could get my money back. Waste of time and huge waste of money. Phentermine 37.5 is much better and way cheaper but it is not supposed to be used for long term."


"Xanax has saved my life. I've been on them for almost four years. I am depressed, have panic attacks, and severe anxiety. Xanax has made me feel normal. I can now be in public unlike before it would make me nervous. I can deal with working and school without having severe anxiety. Racing thoughts and worrying constantly are no more, Xanax rakes that away. I'm not as panicky,  just relaxed and can handle issues, stress, everyday life better. I highly recommended Xanax if you have anxiety or panic attacks.  I'm on 2mg twice a day.  I take one as soon as I wake up, one in the evening, then my sleeping medication are night. I love Xanax for helping me. "


"I was diagnosed with Degenerative disc disease in 1999, and then in 2009 I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis, Neuropathy & Sciatica. I was practically crippled and couldn't walk by 2011. My Doctor decided to try me on Lyrica and I can say with 100% truth and honesty that 4 days after I started it, on just 75mgs a day, I can walk again. I am still walking now in 2013 but just in short jaunts. I'm glad this pill exists."


"This pill saved my life! Me and my boyfriend are 16 and have sex, we always use a condom but one night we had an accident where the condom broke. We couldn't go out that night to get Plan B but we went early the next morning (15 hours later). Since I still had to wait 2 weeks to get my period I spent it stressing and nervous. But sure enough today I got my period a day early! I only had a headache and sleepiness for the first two days of the pill. But I'm relieved and it was well work the 50 dollars. Mistakes happen."


"I've had this thing for about 2 years now and when I first got it it made me have my period for 5 months straight. Now my periods are pretty regular but more recently I've been having my period on and off. This has not only made my period out of whack it has also caused me to have crazy mood swings and bouts of depression. It has also caused me to have the worst cramps I have ever had, also I'm breaking out worse than I ever have before I had this thing. The only positive thing this birth control has done for me is prevent me against pregnancy. I would highly recommend if you are searching for a birth control do not get this one!! The side effects are not worth it at all."


"I was on holiday and prescribed these by the Dr at the walk in centre, after a week, I still have faint burning, still urinating frequently, cold/flu symptoms, headaches ( I rarely suffer with headaches) sharp pains in my stomach, and still feeling sick even after not taking them for 2 days. Back to my own Dr's tomorrow. This drug is horrid!!!!"


"I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attack disorder. I take 30mg, the recommended therapeutic dose. This medicine does not serve well as a long form treatment for anxiety in my opinion. It only produces a calming effect for a short lived period of time after taking it at night. Upon waking in the morning, my anxiety is always back to normal and has had zero effect in subduing anxiety symptoms or panic attacks. I worry it has an effect on my blood sugar because I often get symptoms of irritability, lightheadedness, and a fast heart rate. I wake up several times in the night extremely thirsty which is starting to make me worried. I think there's a reason this has to be prescribed off-label for anxiety...it's not shown to be effective."


"After taking it for 4 days it made me sick to my stomach and caused great muscle pain in my left leg."


"With balanced diet and exercise, I lost 10 pounds within 2 weeks of taking phentermine going from 155lb to being 145. Great medicine for immediate results."


"I just took my second dose of Deplin. I love the fact that there are no side effects. I went all through the day without getting so angry at someone I would get an anxiety attack. It's a start and I'm hoping I can return to my normal self. Wish me luck."


"I have suffered excrutiating back, hip and knee pain for 15 years.  I had my first injection and felt thirty years old again.  I was able to walk normally and without pain.  The second shot had no noticeable effect and the euphoria from the first faded away.  The first was given very close to the spinal nerve involved.  The second one not so close and today's shot was very close to the nerve.  I would recommend this if medically cleared by all your specialists.  It will change your life, at least for a while."


"I have had cold sores for my entire life. When I was a baby, I used to get them in and around my eyes, which was a terrifying experience for my parents, as I could have lost my sight. I was prescribed Valtrex after I had reached the beginning stages of puberty, and it is absolutely amazing! If you take it right when you feel the tingle, the cold sore will not even appear, and if you take it when the blisters have just formed, they will not worsen. And for those who have a fully formed monster cold sore, never fear! Valtrex will shorten the healing time drastically, for me about 3 days."


"I've been on Lunesta for 5 years.  Horrible to be an insomniac for this long.  Tried Belsomra over the last four days and it's pretty amazing.  You take it an hour before bedtime and you have to be in a mental state of letting go of your fear of not sleeping, in order for this to work.  It gets me to a drowsy, sleepy mode.  The issue is that I keep waking up throughout the night and am waking up super early so while it's solid on sleep initiation, I don't know why I can't stay asleep.  But having said all of this, I'm pretty impressed with how I feel on only 4-5 hours of sleep.  It seems as though even though I'm waking up periodically, I must be getting higher quality sleep than on the other drugs.  Overall, I'm quite optimistic."


"I am an addict in recovery and after a year of being clean I got a terrible anxiety disorder. Within two days I felt normal again this so far has helped a ton."


"I was taking gildess fe 1/20 birth control and my pharmacist changed it since it was on recall and switched me over to Blisovi Fe 1/20 and it mucked everything up, I'm not too happy but I can't do much about it I haven't gotten my period so far, I have breast tenderness I have horrible headaches and I usually  never break out and so far I have since I switched my BC. NO BUENO smh "


"I am a 62-yr old woman with a number of health-related issues that cause chronic and sometimes acute pain; including three herniated disks (C3-C6), lower back pain and bad knees. Percocet, Darvocet and Vicodin upset my stomach, so I've only been on Lodine 2x day for the past two years.  My doctor suggested a trial on Dilaudid - 2mg to 4mg every 4-6 hours until I can have a knee replacement.  2mg did not make me pain-free, but definitely was an improvement.  However, 4mg allowed me to walk without pain for the first time in months. It makes me sleepy, but aside from that there have been no unpleasant side effects.  Dilaudid is a wonder drug for anyone who experiences chronic pain."


"Insertion was not painful. Hardly felt it but was somewhat sore and bled a little bit for a couple days after. I've been on it for 7 months now and I highly recommend. The only issues I personally have are random muscle twitches that last a split second and don't come often. My 1st period didn't come until 3 months into the medicine, & was heavy & random. I had migraines before medicine but have them just about every period as my hormones increase. However I take medicine & consume small amounts of caffeine to prevent this. 5 months into the medicine my periods became regular (a set amount of days apart). I would rather deal with those minor issues than be pregnant right now. WORKS FOR ME."


"F-Age 60. I have taken Buspar for 20 years, starting in 1992, age 40. I would go off for 3 yrs after being on for 3 yrs. I had horrible relapse of anxiety, would have to go back on. Now I have been on for 6 years without stopping at 5mg 3-times a day. I love Buspar and plan to stay on for life without stopping. I have done things that I could never do without the Buspar, like hiking the grand canyon at age 58, just driving there would have given me panic, and even day to day stress. I will take my chances with long term, better than feeling sick daily, not being able to eat, sleep or leave the house, no way to live. Side effects for me slight dizziness. "


"I have been taking this since March 23, 2011 and I started my period back on April 6, 2011 after one year without one because of my PCOS. I have been on my period for 9 days now and I am not sure how much longer I am going to be on it. "


"I've taken it two times and it has worked wonders.  I will be HONEST, for my first time I was so worried because I didn't take it 24 or 48 hours after unprotected sex... I took it almost 72 hours where the efficiency decreases and was very very worried.  I don't advise this but I will tell you right now I did NOT get pregnant! My second time I took it within 12 hours of unprotected sex.  I do not want to risk with prolonging the time anymore but this pill is definitely reassuring! Stay safe ladies."


"My 6 year old son said he wanted me to quit smoking for his birthday. I started Chantix and was very surprised with the results. I have been smoking for 23 years. My son's birthday is in two days and I have not smoked in 2 weeks. I don't even miss them! I am proud to tell my son that I'm a quitter! I feel great! I even lost 5 pounds in a week! Thank you I could never have done it without Chantix! "Happy 7th Birthday my wonderful Son.""


"I have been using depo shot for 2 years now...and about 4 months ago I  started to bleed and haven't stop since ..!!! Should I be worried?"


"Had a myelogram on a Friday. By Sunday I had the worst headache in my life! Tried to get through the pain but by Monday morning I was told to go to ER. I told them I had a spinal headache, not my typical migraine. They gave me IV fentanyl which calmed it for 20 minutes. They then gave me the 'cocktail' of Benadryl, Reglan, and Toradol. Within minutes I was shaking violently and couldn't control it. It made me so nauseated. I thought I was going to either have a seizure or a heart attack! It didn't give me any relief at all- not even sleepy. After several unsuccessful pages to anesthesia for a blood patch, I said I had enough and wanted out of there (after more than 6 hours in the ER)."


"This medication has made me unemotional and boring and like many others I'm forever hungry. I have put on an insane amount of weight, admittedly needed, due to suffering anorexia, but when I started on this medication I weighed 37kg and 6 months later nearly doubled to 65 kg. This I feel is an unnatural weight gain in such a short time, and now I don't go out due to feeling bad about how I look."


"Have been taking Belviq for 90 days. Have lost 20lbs! Like many others, have tried multiple things to lose weight over the last ten years, without much success. Belviq gets you over the hump! No side effects, no hunger pangs. Helps self-control in many areas. Also sleeping better each night. 90 day check-up with my doctor went very well. He said he was very excited by my results and will begin prescribing to other patients. A great product!"


"I have had panic attacks and anxiety for many years.  This year, I found out that I had colon cancer, got referred to a surgeon and had surgery within 2 weeks.  I found that the panic attacks and anxiety, sometimes sadness and crying bouts started as I began to recover and process this experience.  My doctor recommended Celexa over Cymbalta because she said that with women in particular, this was better for anxiety as opposed to depression. So far, I've found that the drug makes me sleepy and a little muddled in thinking right after I take it.  I did have some nausea, but that went away quickly.  I'm switching to taking it at night since I feel pretty good about 12 hours after taking it.  It does relieve anxiety and am panic attacks."


"Ok I was on Atripla for years it works but with bad nightmares and not feeling rested- switched to Complara loved it- no side effects felt great. Nurse Practitioner said after a couple years it was building toxicity in my kidneys.. Not sure if that was true but we switch to Odefsy - almost immediately started having toxicity side effects.. Nurse blew off my concerns and complaints of pain, headache , dizzy, tired, no concentration etc So I got rid of her and went to a doctor now I'm trying Triumeq.. It's ok I think I'm adjusting to it, initially it made me tired, I do sleep later now and am a bit slower getting going in the morning which I don't like.. I do feel a bit hot at night after taking it.. again I think I'm adjusting may take in AM"


"Superb...suffered major anxiety which turned to depression. Was in a terrible downward spiral...doctor put me on Viibryd, and it started to work after about 3 days. No side effects at all, other than some minor gastrointestinal issues at the beginning."


"I have taken this medication for over 5 years to help me stay awake due to a narcolepsy diagnosis.  The drug is very effective and I have not become addicted in anyway although I have developed a tolerance to the medication and have had to increase my dosage to now the highest amount available and now will most likely have to change to another medication.  The side effects have also increased including mood swings and and feelings of depression when the drug wears off and now I am convinced that it is time to switch medications.  Even with these increased side effects, without this drug I wouldn't have been able to function as a normal human being and I am now nervous that I won't be able to find another medication that was this effective."


"Was suddenly hit with debilitating pain in lower abdomen, back and pain under ribs on left. Was pain free at 5 pm. By 5:10 pm I was nearly screaming out from the pain. My husband took me to the ER. Was seen immediately by ER doctor and he ordered a CT scan and an IV was started. He was pretty sure I had a kidney stone which turned out to be shown on the CT. When I returned from getting the CT they gave me a large dose of IV morphine. It did absolutely nothing for my pain. A nurse kept telling me to "just relax and enjoy the morphine effects". When doctor came back and saw I was still in severe pain he told me that he was going to order an IV injection of Toradol. I didn't expect any relief but it was almost instant relief."

"I have been on Adderall, 10mg twice per day, for about 2 months now. I am a 32 year old male, and I went to see my doctor because I was having an incredibly difficult time focusing and "locking in" on conversations at work. It was becoming a real problem. I went to previous doctors when I was in high school and college. I told them my concern about my inability to focus. They said I was depressed. But, I wasn't depressed and I knew I wasn't. Finally, someone really listened and Adderall and Adult ADD was their diagnosis. It has been a miracle for me. I finally know what it is like to be alert and alive. "


"I've been on this BC for a little over a year now. First few packs were awesome! No mood swings, no break through bleeding, period always on time, smooth sailing..

My last two packs have been a nightmare. I'm moody, I'm getting break through bleeding often and it actually scares me because I always think something is wrong if I'm bleeding and it's not time for my period... and my period was over a week late on my last pack. My period isn't due to come for another 3 weeks now but I'm currently bleeding. Not happy.

Will definitely be seeing my doctor about a new pill. Maybe my body has decided it's not strong enough anymore."


"I started taking Qsymia on 10/20 at 263lbs and I'm down to 256 as of today, so far so good, I will update every week with my progress. Not really experiencing any side effects as of now."


"This generic works but it sure doesn't work as well as Paxil CR. The generic isn't as potent. But it's less expensive. Paroxetine seems to work for O.C.D. very well, but the weight gain sure can be a bummer.  You can be tired after taking it too; so I take it at night to help me get a good sleep."


"I've had back pain for 10 yrs from being an automobile mechanic. I had a fusion L3 TOS1. I'm also an addict. I've been on and abused every pain med there is so my tolerance is very high. I've found with butrans it keeps my pain away but no buzz so I don't abuse it.  It's not as effective as fentenyl but its decent."


"It just makes me sleepy"


"TALWIN NX is the only drug which relieved the pain in my upper spine. I have been taking two a day for 12 years and have not needed to increase dosage. To me it was a miracle drug."


"I had sinusitis, bronchitis and pink eye... After two doses(500MG) I was feeling good.  I will finish all 14 pills of course."


"This stuff will GET YOU OUT of a jam!! Like many other commenters on this site, I write from the porcelain throne, after researching for hours whether or not this stuff is for me.

I drank the entire bottle of Cherry MC. Then I drank a bottle of water (this part was hard, I was pretty nauseated). The water is what works it down!

It took two or three hours to work for me. Since beginning this journey, it's been almost 11 hours and I'm still going strong. Scared to drink more water because THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE. I don't want to keep going but I need to stay hydrated. I feel relief from constipation, only to be met with the burning of liquid fire gushing out of my bum. Worth it.

Baby Wipes, Water and A&D are a must to ride this ride."


"No longer in denial that I was really fat 5"10 217 pounder. High blood pressure and overweight will other factors on the horizon. My joints hurt and so did my back . Six months 58 pounds less medication,sleep well and had no real side effect. I no longer have joints that ache and my blood pressure medicine was lowered. Glad I got talked into trying this great medicine."


"Please, anyone with MS, look into Dr. Terry Wahls and her protocol for MS.  Most MS symptoms can be controlled through diet.  Please take a few minutes to look into this, it could save you a lot of suffering and money."


"I had the mirena coil for years. Last year I started bleeding irregularly with bad cramps & pelvic pain. They sent me for an ultrasound to check for ovarian cysts but was clear.  They found a polyp on my cervix. When they removed the polyp my coil dislodged & was replaced. I started having burning pain in my cervix and a smell. Had a course of antibiotics but the pain stayed. They removed the coil & I was ok for a couple of months. But my periods are extremely heavy with massive clots and severe pain and they fitted another coil. This was  Aug and bleeding for 4 weeks and getting heavier. Also menopausal so unsure if it's the coil or menopause causing the bleeding. I want a hysterectomy but at 47 I'm too young apparently. End of my tether"


"My infant had an ear infection and we tried 3 other antibiotics that didn't work.  We were about to get referred to a specialist when we tried Omnicef and it worked."


"Insomnia, night sweats, moody, uncontrollable crying in the bosses office!  I tried so hard and so long to do nothing and let it runs it's natural course.  If I didn't work and could take naps, I'd still suffer and deal with it.  Not the case.  Have to be on my toes at work.  Quality of life was bad.  Climara saved my life.  It was a tough decision but I tell you, it works.  I feel human again!"


"I'm a 60 year old woman that has been up and down with the weight. Our son is getting married Oct. 2016, so I had to get this weight off. I went to my doctor and she suggested Contrave. I have been on it since Oct 1 2015 and have lost 40 pounds. It's at small increments but I'm so overjoyed that it's working. I have had multiple back surgeries (spinal fusions, hip replaced, and more) and can't do a lot of things for exercise. I walk as much as I can. I have adjusted my eating habits and types of foods. I would like to say this medicine has been helpful. I feel like a million bucks. The med curbs my appetite. Stick with it, your worth the $$ it costs. Dizzy once."


"I began contrave on 6/14/2016. Weighing in at 222 - I weighed in this past Sunday at 215.  I am also using weight watchers and I count everything that I eat.  I believe with the these two together I am finding success."


"I've had plenty of YI's over the years and have always used Monistat 3 and never had any problems. This time I used the generic version and I've had the worst burning and itching ever. Worse than the YI itself!! They must have changed the formula because this is definitely not right! It should help the burning and itching, not cause more!"


"I got the implant after finding out birth control pills were the cause of my migraine attacks. My doctor inserted the rod in April 2015. I had no problems with the insertion and the incision healed in three days.

I was on cloud nine until about two weeks after when I spotted almost everyday with a week in between. During in this time I was constantly suffering with BV and yeast. I contacted my doctor who advised me to wait three to six months for my body to adjust. I agreed and the birth control finally was in sync with my body around October; or so I thought.

In June of this year, after having a period that lasted anywhere from three to five days a month, I started spotting a heavy, uncomfortable  tar-like discharge. Time to take it out."


"I've been on this for a couple months now it has helped but one issue all I do is sleep."


"Idk  what you guys are taking about, guanfacine works really well, I take one 2.5 mg tablet every day and right away shows a big improvement on my heart, I can breathe better, I can relax, and I can enjoy myself. 10/10."


"I'm diagnosed MDD & Bipolar, Type 2, and this is the first medication I've taken that has a significant positive impact on my anxiety without bad side effects. I usually worry, have circular negative thought patterns, and feel awkward and lost in my head most of the day. But I've gone from 300mg to 400mg and now to 600 mg of generic gabapentin, and it works wonderfully. It doesn't make me sleepy, unlike benzos. Like quite a few people, I've abused benzos in the past, but rarely get an urge to take too many gabapentin because of the limited recreational use. In conclusion: in my opinion, gabapentin is a wonder-drug for anxiety; especially for addicts and/or those with bipolar disorder."


"This product really works. My second day using it and I haven't sweated yet. I would normally have to bath at least twice a day. I been dry all day long. Yes I am so thankful for Drysol save my life. I became so scared to go out and party or have a good time because of my sweating condition. Now I'm sweat free and happy as ever! "


"Nuvaring is the best birth control ever. For me it was about not having any side affects, and nuvaring did just that. I've been on it for a year as a form of birth control. It has worked  great not only as birth control but also made my periods shorter that only last 4 days, are very light, and always on time. NO other side affects. I've always followed the directions. You can leave it in during sex and I always do since my boyfriend has never mentioned it being uncomfortable. You can take it out for up to 3 hours a day without risk of pregnancy but personally I never take it out. You can also use it while using tampons as well which is nice for when you first start using. Overall I would definitely recommend it to anyone."


"I am 4 years 9 months survivor of metastatic breast disease to bone. The injection itself is painful, but very few side effects for me. Tiredness, pain at injection site and sore throat dry mouth are most persistent side effects. Tingling and burning sensation on right side of injection site."


"I went on this medication and at first was very excited about it. By month 3 I had gained 10lbs and lost my libido. I also fainted once and had to be prescribed a sleeping pill. Needless to say, it is not working for me."


"I love Ritalin. I have a wonderful peace that I never had before.  I am 61 years old and have just started taking it for the last few weeks. I can actually concentrate now.  I am not so fidgety. I wished had this about 55 years ago and one thing I noticed, I am dreaming where I don't remember dreaming in years."


"I just started taking Adipex 2 days ago. I can't say much right now but that for these past couple of days I haven't really been hungry and I have been experiencing dry mouth and insomnia (can't sleep at night). I had a bad miscarriage last year and I gained a lot of weight. I hope this works. "


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Third colonoscopy, first time with this prep.

Positive: can eat eggs and cheese the day before the procedure

Negative: Expensive and did not completely clean me out

I did the 2 step process. 4pm day before tool the initial dose followed by five 8 oz glasses of water. Experienced results in 1 1/2 hour and then for the next 8 hours. The next morning at 4:15 took the 2nd dose followed by five glasses of water with NO results whatsoever. Nothing. Called the endoscopy clinic at 7am and they said to come in early for my appointment. I had to have a tap water enema to finish the prep. My colonoscopy was at 10:45am and I was home by 1pm. At 4:00pm I started getting explosive watery stools like the prep started working 8 hours later!"


"I had Detrol and saw its effect in two days..but it gave me such intense headache that I couldn't tolerate it."


"After using this for about 2 months:

1. rate of urine flow increased
2. the bladder appeared to be emptied completely
3. frequency of urination decreased"


"I've been on Nortriptyline for about a year. I was having problems falling and staying asleep. After a week or so I realized that it helped with my nerve pain in my back and neck. It was amazing, I was able to wean myself off of prescription Motrin (600-800 Mg) several times a day for 24 years.  I take 30 mg nortriptyline before bed.  For those of you who feel out of it, you must take it with the intent of getting a full nights sleep, 8  hours and more if you're taking a high dose otherwise you will not feel right."


"took ella one 90 hours after unprotected sex, he withdrew but I was still thinking I should take something, took with food, no sickness, but for weeks, felt lower back pain , and lower pelvic pain, cramps, and tender breasts. Also acid reflux occasionally which I never get. Then of course my period did not come, of course I started panicking and googling everything under the sun. Today negative pregnancy test, got period 3 hours later ..lol... this pill works it just makes your period late. I would use it again."


"For 6 mths I've suffered chronic pain in the morning woken from sleep in pain in my joints. It started in my knees, then elbows & wrists. But 2 mths ago it started in my hips & lower back, & as my sleep was interrupted DAILY, so was my life. As soon I get up the pain would go, but the other day it wouldn't. So I went to my Dr who gave me Celebrex. I was scared to take it reading bad reviews. So I rang my Dr & he said take it & let me know how you feel tomorrow. I took it last night & can't believe I waited THIS long to try it. For the 1st time in 6 mths I woke with NO pain & it made me drowsy, which was a bonus. Celebrex WORKED for me so I want to write a POSITIVE review for people out there who are scared off by bad reviews. I'm pain free!"


"After two weeks, increase in blood sugar by 50 and back pain from day one, I will finish this month and see."


"Does the job, but tastes revolting, like drinking berry flavored sea water. It took me an hour and a half to get the first dose down and I only managed 2/3 of the second dose before vomiting. However I'd followed advice online and cut back my diet 2 days prior (both quantity and low fibre) and pretty much the first dose was all I needed to clean out so my prep was fine.
Dr just told me there is another lower volume prep available, but insurance does not cover ($100), but it would be worth it next time for me.
Tips to get it down - refrigerate beforehand, drink through straw, have water and something else (I used tonic water) to swill around your mouth after each sip to get rid of the taste.  I also used a hard boiled candy on my tongue."


"My psych had a very serious discussion with me about my 14 years on Ambien and even longer in Zolpidem. BOTH CAUSE ALZHEIMERS AND DEMENTIA. So I am now taking Belsomra with great success. 10mg to start and increased dose next week. My Klonopin was replaced by Lyrica. I fell asleep right away, no nightmares or symptoms and woke wide awake and cheerful."


"I feel like because there aren't many positive posts on here I should share one. I got on this pill because of reoccurring ovarian cysts and also to relieve some menstrual pain during periods. I'm on the third month and I have had no negative side effects. The only thing was I had black disgusting discharge for about a week at the beginning but it stopped. However, I noticed that if I don't take the pill at the same time every day or relatively close to the same time I begin having that discharge again. However, I have not experienced any mood swings, weight gain, or any other negative side effects. Every pill affects every woman differently so please don't get freaked out by negative reviews like I did, actually don't even read them."


"I've been on this birth control for about 5 months now...And it sure is doing its job very well. But I do get huge headaches from time to time and feeling dizzy for about 2 months now. When I started to take this birth control everything was fine. But until now I'm thinking of trying another brand of birth control."


"I'm a 50 year old male diagnosed with depressive subtype ADD 15 years ago. I've tried Ritalin, Adderall, Dextrastat, Emsam, and various other antidepressants as I'm dysphoric. All these medicines have helped. Holiday's are good for resetting tolerance. Years ago, I needed 60mg Adderall in the morning and 30 at noon, after working up from Ritalin which became too weak. I'm on Prilosec for stomach acid now, and non-XR stimulants taken only in the morning still keep me awake at night, for which 0.5-1 mg of Klonopin cures. I don't get addicted to anything, so no problem, though nothing makes me feel really good either -even narcotics or sex! A well functioning mind and getting things done is my main high."


"I had a very good experience on this birth control, it was my first too. The only problem I had was light acne or that might just have been me being 15. My periods were around 2 days long and I never got in bad moods or emotional. This birth control worked great for me, no weight gain, nausea or anything."


"My son is 13 and has been on Intuniv for 2 weeks. The first week we were in shock thinking "He is so NICE now".  In the 2nd week he seems to be getting more forgetful, less concentration. But he is eating so much more now. We were always saying eat, eat!  Not now.  Hopefully in time the concentration will be there. Some headaches."


"It completely cleared my face of stubborn, cystic acne.  However, I gained 40 lbs over two years, had no energy, and could sleep for 13 hours a night.  I still work out regularly and watch what I eat.  It seems the weight gain is happening more to people in their 30s-40s..."


"I have severe back pain and leg pain associated with sciatica. The MRI indicates a central and left herniated disk between L5-S1 and annular disc bulging at the L4-L5 level. I tried every over the counter pain medication and Tramadol which did nothing. The pain in my back, left buttocks, left calf was debilitating. I could not put a pair of socks on let alone do any normal activity. My doctor then prescribed percocet and I have to say this drug is a God send. It actually has given me my LIFE back! I never get a 'high'- there is no feeling of euphoria- what I do get is RELIEF of my pain so that I can actually work, play and live. Side effects: constipation I eat bran cereal twice a day-gone. I get insomnia at night so I take smaller amounts."


"It works well with just one side effect - coughing spells on occasion. Other than that I have seen a marked reduction in my blood pressure."


"So I've been taking Taytulla for about 3 months. I started noticing significant changes in my moods. I was overly emotional. Everything made me cry, and I'm not a super emotional person. I pretty much spotted during the entire duration of me taking the pill. Needless to say, I switched birth controls."


"I have been on 10 mg for 8 weeks.  It does help with my depression and panic attacks.  But I have gained weight and feel numb towards my feelings.  My sex drive is gone.  I workout every day, but the weight is still coming. I have never had a problem losing weight, but now I do.

The medicine keeps me from feeling the lows,  but also from feeling the highs. I can feel that it has slowed metabolism down.  I don't no what I sound do, because like I said it has helped."


"I've been taking Novomix and I had to go abroad. So I asked my doctor subtitude for Insulin because my blood sugar levels were between 190-250. He suggested glipizide and now my counts are between 115 - 120. I hsve now been taking glipizide nearly for a month. I eat less than usual and I exercise.

"


"Switched to this from Abilify.  Abilify left me lethargic and I gained substantial weight.  Since switching, I fall asleep easier, have lost weight, and do not feel sleepy all day anymore."


"Did more harm than good.
Suicidal ideation regularly even after taken for 4 months. Stomach problems, increased anxiety; and depression onset when I had none prior."


"I am a 32 year old nurse and mom of 5. Before I started taking fastin,  I was 269 pounds.  I'm only 5foot 4 inches so needless to say I was huge. I was in size 24 jeans. I began taking these as a last ditch effort to help me lose weight and feel better about myself.   This week I weighed in at 187. (I recommend only weighing once a week on the same day before you eat or drink anything).  I am now in a small size 16, which are big on me.  I will agree that it makes your heart feel like it is going to pound out of your chest,  but that is how I felt when I exercised. I would be huffing and puffing and barely able to stand.  So I feel that in order toactually burn off the fat,  you have to pump the blood harder and faster. Works for the obese."


"I used this for a recent colonoscopy. It is way over priced tastes disgusting, caused heartburn. Had it worked I would forgive it all but I went for my colonoscopy and I was not cleaned out well enough for the doctor to visualize my entire colon. I now have to have another one sooner than I normally would have. "


"I was on Synthroid for 18 months. Couldn't walk, because of water retention so after reading about Armour decided to try it. The doctor didn't want to prescribe it.
However, I insisted, and he gave it to me. Wow what a difference , within two days. All the water retention the Synthroid caused was gone and I am now on it for years.  So glad I got my life back."


"I was going through a divorce, a miscarriage and loss of an important job plus career change. I was breaking down physically as well as mentally and was hospitalized for testing and observation by a cardiologist who diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and prescribed Triavil for me. IT WAS AMAZINGLY my lifechanger! IN just DAYS (less than 1 week) I was an entirely NEW woman whose issues were "healed" by my healed brain and ability to "handle" all my life's issues fearlessly  in stride...thanks to my clear thinking triavil assisted body.  This older medication is far too under prescribed and had only 1 adverse side affect which was I was so happy my appetite was voracious and I put on weight which I lost after a year.  I Highly recommended TRIAVI"
