"I got the Implanon in August of 2008. I was a emotional wreck for the first 2-3 months; very intense mood swings.  Since I have been on it I have gained close to 40 lbs. in the past 2 1/2 years; although some of it can be from quitting smoking.  Periods were not an issue for the first year, but that is because the hormones from my Depo were still active.  Starting my 2nd year on Implanon I bled for 7 months straight.  My doctor put me on a month of LoEsterin Pills; this helped for a few months.  Now I have very spotty bleeding, no menstrual control at all.  I will be researching other methods of birth control, hopefully I find something that I am not affected by so many of the side effects."


"I've been on Pristiq for 18 months 100mg. It took 4 to 5 weeks to help me have a relaxed outlook on life. I still have a lot of the side effects you are all talking about. If I forget to take the pills for a day or two I fall straight back to the place I was. "


"I have been in IT for forty years.  As I reached my late 50's my self-confidence began to decline.  My job requires me to do presentations regularly.  I started having serious anxiety and trouble getting through presentations.  My heart would pound.  My throat would tighten up significantly and my voice was weak and shaky.  My doctor prescribed Propranolol 20 mg.  If I take it an hour or so before a presentation I'm fine.  None of the symptoms I mentioned above.  Most work days I take it when I get up in the morning and I'm great all day - no matter what stressful situation comes up.  I was skeptical that anything could do what Propranolol has done.  It saved my career - and makes personal situations easier as well."


"Alesse was the first birth control pill I tried. Prior to this pill I had Depo Provera (there was about a 3 month gap in between these contraceptives) and it was such an awful experience. I was so scared to try any birth control cause the last one made me feel so incredibly crappy. My nurse told me to try Alesse because it was the lowest dose of hormones (according to her) so I reluctantly tried it. Its been 9 months and I haven't had any problems. Periods are only 3 days and they're extremely light. No depression, no major weight gain (I work out regularly so its hard to know for sure), no complete loss in sex drive, no spotting. Only con to Alesse that both my friend and I agree on is the facial acne. Try Alesse if you need birth control!"


"I had mirena for 4 months and I have not stopped bleeding yet! There is a strange odor but no infection. My sex drive has decreased because of this constant bleeding. I am extremely tired of this and I am ready to take it out myself!!"


"I started the medicine a couple of hours before taking the indomethacin.  I got immediate relief from pain.

Today is my third day on the program. The joint of big toe is still red, but I continue to be pain free. I think sleep apnea, aggravated by rhinitis (hay fever) and not drinking enough water could be responsible for the flare up. The last attack happened about the same time last year (during hay fever season.)"


Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / valsartan

ge HCT (amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / valsartan)

"After trying several other medicines with no improvement, they put me on Exforge HCT. I had some dizziness at first but my blood pressue is consistent in the normal range and I feel much better."


"I've used this medicine for about a week along with a prescribed antibiotic, I have noticed that it is significantly cleared up. But it's making my face look sunburnt without being in the sun too much. My neck also recently just got really red from halfway up. Overall it's been decent, peeling, redness, and occasional burning. But, so far I like the results."


"I've been on Depo for about a year.  My periods used to be very heavy but now they are very light.  The downside is that they last about 2-3 weeks.  I've gained about 20 pounds and experience some pretty crazy mood swings.  My libido has completely crashed and I almost always need to use lube.  I got Depo-Provera because it fits my lifestyle; there's no way I could take a pill at the same time everyday. "


"Took this for social anxiety. After about a month on the pill my anxiety was gone. However, there were some side effects that I didn't like. My sexual functions (male) were completely gone which scared me. But after a couple months on the pill I could get by...but it's never as good on the pill as it is off the pill. Also I ground my teeth at night a LOT. I gained weight too...but that could be because I ate terribly, so we'll call that my fault. After a year on this pill, I stopped taking it. Having my social anxiety gone while on the pill built up my confidence a lot, and now I do fine in social situations with no pill needed. I recommend this pill for social anxiety. "


"I have been on phentermine for a month and love it. The only side effects are dry mouth, lack of sleep and slight constipation. I did notice that after 2 weeks of being on it I did not have as much energy as I had in the first 2 weeks. I decided to take it Monday through Thursday and then start up Monday again. That seems to work better for me. I am down 14 lbs in one month and I am so excited, 40lbs away from my goal.Yeah."


"I'm probably not qualified to review this as I only had it in for 24 hours. I mistakenly read the reviews/side effects after getting it inserted and immediately regretted getting it. Even though I know I might not have experienced the adverse side effects, I was not willing to risk it. I will definitely do more research next time!
For the 24 hours I had it, I did feel quite nauseous and nearly fainted twice. Other than that, the insertion and removal was fairly painless."


"I've been on the generic version of this medication for two years now and everything is great except I've gained over 40 lbs."


"After surgery I was given Oxycodone. I asked my Dr for something similar that would not make me itch crazy like Oxycodone does. He gave me Nucynta time released. Both Oxycodone and Nucynta has same results for killing pain and they both make you itch because they are narcotic. The two negatives for me on Nucynta was bad dreams and withdrawals. The withdrawals happened after a week of being on them. I stopped taking one day and I was up all night sweating and shakes, felt like the worst flu."


"I took Zyclara for the first time a year ago at the age of 34 after my doctor froze off 3 actinic keratosis. Actinic keratosis on my nose is back, also I still have red spots where lesions were during the initial treatment. Doctor says I need another round to finish off the damage and as a last best hope to avoid having to surgically remove the spot on my nose. I have fair skin and tons of sun damage (including 2nd degree burns over 20% of my body).  My doctor initially recommended that I take 2 months off for the treatment, this time I will take her advice!  I found the treatment too intense to work through due to pain and fatigue.  Moisturizing the area with petroleum jelly and a topical anesthetic and antimicrobial (neosporin or polysporin) helped a lot!"


"Took this for 3 weeks. After the honeymoon phase of week 1&2, I noticed how clean it felt. I had little to zero side effects. Then week 3 I increased it to 10mg in the morning and 5 in the afternoon. Developed freezing cold toes and fingers. It was a nightmare, stopped for a few days, tried 1 a day seemed to be fine, increased it to 2 and felt the cold sensation. Moving onto another medication."


"I got the implant in April so I'm almost 3 months in. I've been spotting for about 2 months with a few breaks in between the last three days. Of course the spotting is annoying but it's really nothing that can't be handled. I can use panty liners as opposed to pads and they work perfectly and they're much cheaper. I actually lost a few pounds which is nice and I haven't had terrible mood swings (I pretty much haven't had any to be honest). I feel like my sex drive has either stayed the same or gone up just because I don't want to have sex with my bf on the days I am spotting so I literally look forward to those breaks. I'm going to wait it out a couple more months to see if the bleeding stops. But I think this is honestly worth a try."


"I had horrible anxiety from 14 to 21 then i got prescribed xanax .25 and my life changed i was going out with friends didnt care about little things like what people think of you it was great then at 23 i decided im good i dont need it anymore and had 4 months of hell getting off im mow 29 and ive delt with the anxiety everyday and it got easier but was still a small burdan couldnt be me something was missing i just got back on it a few weeks ago and now ive worked harder then ever i was promoted to asistant manager within 2 weeks of starting back xanax everyone told me how they noticed my confidence in everything and i take control of stressful situations as i work in the food business suddenly im the go to guy at work i work 50hours aweek"


"I've had PTSD induced insomnia since I was 6 years old. I've tried every possible drug there is, ambien, lunesta and the like. Nothing seems to work, and my recurring dream always seems to come right back and wake me up. One time I decided to try klonopin because sleeping on a cycle of 4 days awake 5 hours asleep from 6 years old to 29 will make you try anything. First time I took it, one 2mg pill, I slept for three solid days, I've never experience sleep that deep that I can remember, but it feels like a life saver, my only way to truly sleep after feeling like the reaper was just hanging over my head waiting."


"Reading these reviews finds me nodding my head with approval. After years with plaque psoraisis, its over...at least for now.  I did creams, Enbrel for 2 years, now Humira for about 6 months.  Initially it worsened then got way better.  Now, I have been off the Humira for over 3 months and nothing has come back.  My skin is 99% better.  I had over 50% coverage on my body and it was unsightly, painful, and nasty.  Now it's all gone.  At this point in time I have to say: this stuff is remarkable."


"Great medicine. No side effects."


"I have been on Trinessa now for about three months, and I love it! I was very hesitant going into it after reading many bad reviews, but so far its been smooth sailing. I have not had any breakthrough bleeding, I just get mild morning stomach aches after my period ends and I start a new pack. Mild mood swings, but nothing I can't handle. This is the first birth control I've been on, so I don't have anything to compare to, but I love it!"


"I took a Zubsolv in the doctors office. I was feeling so sick from no Heroin. In 20 minutes I felt Great ! I was calm, not shaking, not sweating, nothing. This is a miracle drug. I pray that anyone who needs it can get it somehow!"


"I've dealt with "undiagnosed" pain for years. I've had test after test. All I know for sure is that I have severe cramping and diarrhea as well as joint pain. I have also suffered from anxiety and insomnia. Percocet seems to resolve all of my issues in one dose. Unfortunately, I can't get a doctor to take me seriously. The side effects seem to be limited to a warm flush and constipation, which in my case actually makes me regular."


"I went on Edarbi 40mg for 2 weeks with had up and down spikes,muscle pain in back,neck and joints.DR increased it to 80mg,developed chest pains with the other pains.Ended up in ER,kept over night and given stress test. After stress test ,I developed severe chest pain and EKG showed a problem. Now waiting for angiogram and taken off edarbi,& PUT ON RAMIPRIL 5mg X 2 a day.The angiogram is a 3 to 6week wait!"


"I am not a big user of pills, but I was happily surprised how well this med works. I take it 10 days prior to my period and it makes a huge difference. I started taking this at age 42 and 2 years later I am still amazed. If you are struggling with pmdd, talk to your doctor and see if this will work for you."


"I started taking effexol 4 years ago to take the edge off my anxiety because my job is stressful and I have to shoulder a lot of responsibility.  I am on a daily 75mg dose. Overall, I have found it to be a great leveller, but the consequences of missing one dose is bad... missing 2 or 3 is pretty horrific, with head shocks, disorientation and feeling miserable. Really miserable. It's good medication, but do not forget it if you are travelling."


"I was prescribed diflucan and for some reason that pill didn't work this time. I then went to the store and bought Monistat One Day, (I've never used this product before. Only Monistat 7 and 3), and was hoping it would just make the itchiness and discomfort go away ASAP. But instead, when I woke and some cream had come out when I went to pee, I started getting an allergic reaction...that's what I would call it. I just started burning and itching more on the outside of my vagina and I had to spritz it down with cold water. And no, it didn't cure my yeast infection.

This stuff is strong! No joke, it's trial and error. It works for some, but you're only lucky if it does. I'm never using this product on my poor vagina ever again."


"I am 18 years old and started having a yeast infection so I took monistat one without looking at the reviews. I applied it at night but when I woke my vagina swelled to three times its size and I had an unbearable itch and burn. The MOST PAINFUL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I quickly rushed to the emergency room were they had to flush the medicine out of me and they prescribed me on steroids. I will never recommend Monistat  to anyone especially after all the horror stories I have seen online. Please DO NOT use this medicine go to the doctor were they will prescribe you a pill it will make life so much easier!!!!"


"It gave me back a life, which I thought I would never have."


"I started off weighing 220,I'm now 195. I've been losing about 5-6 pounds a month, however, I've not exercised really nor have I changed my diet to a healthy one. I'm going to start walking atleast 30min a day, maybe some weight training and start watching what I eat. I can't wait to see how much faster the weight will come off. You do have to have to be  patient with this medicine and DON'T eat high fat foods because you WILL POOP YOURSELF, it's NOT possible to hold it in! It does teach you to eat better though!"


"I have had it for 4 months and not one day has gone by that I didn't have excruciating migraines ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!!! Its coming out!!"


"My doctor started me off on 5mg patches. The patches created itchy, red "polka dots" on my body.  The red areas were about one and one-half inches in diameter. They frequently itched and sometimes the red area would become irritated and swollen. The worst part is that it took at least two weeks for the spots to disappear.  I stopped using the patches after one month.  I asked my doctor for AndroGEL.  The gel does not give me any irritation at all.  The gel comes in small pre-measured packets.  After applying, you must then wash your hands.  With the patches, I didn't need to disrobe to apply them.  With the gel, you pretty much need to remove your shirt (or pants) so that you can rub the gel into your skin."


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


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I was diagnosed with afibs about 6 years ago. Given flecinide and told to take 2 low dose aspirin. Recently the doctor told me aspirin was not sufficient to prevent a stroke. He prescribed eliquis 5mg twice a day. I have been suffering with headaches. They feel like pressure on the top of my head. In addition ,I am very tired and I don't feel as though I think as clearly. I will be seeing the doctor next week. I hope he takes me off this medication. I honestly do not feel well. I am 72 years of age."


"When I get a sinus infection my Dr. prescribes this. IT works awesome. No nausea, No diarrhea, no yucky taste in my mouth. It is the only anti-biotic that I don't mind taking at all."


"I've been taking this for two months now and, I don't want to say it's not effective because so far it's doing it's job to stop pregnancy. My only concern is the light spotting between periods, but my doctor warned me that this would happen. I thought maybe I was making it up in my mind that I was a little bummed & depressed, but now I'm thinking it might be this medication because I'm seeing similar reactions to this online. I hope this will pass otherwise I'll be looking for an alternative."


"I have been an insomniac for many years. I started taking 1/2 tab of a 25 MG doxylamine sleep aid and it kicks in within 30 min and I sleep a very good 7 hours without side effects. It works very well for me."


"I have been taking zestoretic 20-25 mg along with norvasc 5 mg for 30 years....brand only as my original doctor prescribed and have never had any more issues with my high blood pressure.  The generics released medication more up front than zestoretic brand and I would wake up with severe headaches.  Zestoretic  along with the norvasc was perfect.  My blood pressure is normal and I have no signs of any side effects after all these years...I am now in my 70's.  I do have to avoid being out in the hot sun for extended periods of time as it does make me a little dizzy, and I have to drink lots of fluids, but a small price to have my blood pressure under complete control."


"I'm 21 and recently started taking VESIcare, at first it was 10mg but i literally could not poop i would go 2-3 days without pooping and had severe heartburn. My doctor lowered it to 5mg and it helps a bit with the urinating but i do notice in situations where i'm stressed it doesn't seem to work as well but when i'm relaxed its perfectly fine. Also, with the 5mg i'm still having constipation and only poop about every other day and i'm still having bad heartburn every few weeks or so. I'm not sure if i want to stick with this medication or not because i should not be having this bad of heartburn at 21."


"I just put it on last night for the first time. However I put waaaay too much on and my armpits have been burning and red ever since. However for right now I think it's worth it. To wear the clothes you want without having to worry. No deoderant put on after that application. Still dry."


"I'm a 16 year old female. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, anorexia and bulimia about 2 years ago. I attempted suicide 3 times and I really thought there was no hope. Zoloft did nothing for me. It was awful. But then along came Celexa and its awesome. I no longer wake up and feel like I'm drowning and my lungs are going to explode. I can get up out of bed and not hate everything. I can go about my day without worrying about every little thing. I no longer get panic attacks. It's awesome. I have lost weight too. I totally recommend Celexa, best things I've ever tried. "


"I took this pill within 24 hours after me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex. It was during my fertile days. I received light bleeding within a week. And two weeks later, I got my actual period. The waiting was crucial!! I experienced bloating, dizziness, and extreme fatigue. Don't stress over it, that could delay your period. Thank God my boyfriend was extremely supportive!!"


"I have been diagnosed with Lumbar Spondylosis, Lumbar Canal Stenosis and Lumbar Radiculopathy. Oxycontin helps to keep my back pain down so I can walk. I had surgery on 11-15-2010 and they put two rods in my back but the pain is still there."


"I'm on Abilify in conjunction with Lamictal. In ten years this combination is the only one that has worked. While it took some tweaking it is well worth it. Two side effects, constipation and eye rolling."


"The only antibiotic that ALWAYS works on my recurring sinus infections. Easy on the stomach also."


"I was previously diagnosed with major depression with severe anxiety attacks. I was taking anti-depressants and anxiety medication for 3 years. My mood would vary greatly throughout this time period. I was self medicate until one night I tried to drive myself off of a bridge with my car full of people. I realized at that point I needed help and nothing was working. I call my therapist he suggested that I go to the emergency room.  I did. I ended up getting admitted for attempted suicide.  After a week in the hospital it was apparent I was bipolar and in a episode. I suffer from manic and depressive episodes. They put me on Tegretol XR and I began to be able to actually sleep a whole night and think normally."


"Pros-I don't have to think about birth control anymore. Periods are much lighter and much less painful. Fewer yeast infections. Less severe PMS symptoms.

Cons-near constant spotting. Can't use a blood pressure cuff on the arm that has the implant."


"I have been taking this pill for three years now, my doctor switched me over to it from Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo due to the cost. At first I really enjoyed this pill, no significant changes at all, no weight gain, no moodiness, no appetite change. Everything was fine. The last year and a half, I have noticed a difference and I hate this pill now. It has decreased my sex drive to absolutely zero. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 in a half years and I have no desire to do anything with him. It has made me miserable and extremely emotional all of the time. I feel depressed and get angry very easily. The only upside to this pill is that my period lasts for two days and then it's over. I will be switching immediately it's ruining my relationship"


"Been on 7.5 for 5 months and lost 20 lbs (need to lose about 40 total).  Weight loss was slow but I never would have lost it without the drug (and I exercise about 5x a week). I had some side effects such as irritability, dry mouth and mild tingling in feet. In the fifth month I felt the drug has lost its effectiveness and am about to start the next level up.  Hopefully this will give me the same loss of interest in food as the 7.5. Thinking of joining Weight Watchers to learn how to eat properly when I get off the meds."


"This medicine is a waste of time ... to be honest or might be a placebo because it doesn't work !!!! The first time I took it , I made myself believe it worked but it doesn't .... I'm going back on my old combo Klonipin and seroquel.... Can't deal with this anymore longer !!!!!  Save your time , energy , and extra anxiety "


"The first few weeks on the pill I found an increase in breast size as well as an increased sex drive.  However after two months of being on the pill, my breasts shrunk back to their normal size, my sex drive was completely gone, and my face broke out in horrendous acne. I have white heads and dark spots everywhere and my skin really hurts. I have also become more depressed and during the times of PMS I have experienced severe thoughts of suicide. It has definitely affected my everyday life.  I was on the pill for about five months. This is not the pill for me and I have just switched to Apri. Best of luck and I hope this has been helpful."


"This was my first birth control. Each time I was going to try something new (Trinessa, Nuvaring, and now Ocella) I was really nervous because of the reviews. But if it helps, I did pretty well with Trinessa. No bad side effects except for when I would miss one and double up, it inevitably meant throwing up without notice and that's why I switched to Nuvaring. But obviously, I shouldn't have been missing pills to begin with. I'm on Ocella now and I've never missed one, so I don't know if it's that I'm sensitive to nausea with doubling up, or if it was the Trinessa."


"Took my first 10 mg Brintellix just before I went to bed at around 11:00 p.m.  It's now 6:30 a.m. & I haven't slept.  Not a wink.  Going forward, I will definitely be taking them in the mornings.  I just arbitrarily rated it as a "5" since I've only taken one.  Other than being wired, I haven't had any negative side effects.  I never hold out much hope for any new antidepressant, though.  It seems that nothing works for me.  I will take Brintellix for at least a couple of months before deciding if it works & whether or not I want to continue taking it.  The cost will also factor into this (in a big way).  My dr. gave me a month's worth of samples & a card for some sort savings program..."


"Aviane is the first pill I have been on. So far I have had no spotting just a few pimples here and there and NO major mood swings. I do tend to get mad a bit faster but it's no big deal. I haven't gained any weight. I actually lost 4 lbs. Plus I heard of it lessening your sex drive. I actually feel like being more active while on this pill. Altogether I think it works great .. just remember everyone's body is different."


"Like many others, I was kind of worried about getting a copper IUD because of the reviews.... But I went ahead and did it anyway. I've had it for about a month now and I know that isn't a long time but I wanted to share my opinion on it thus far.  Ive never had kids so I was worried the insertion would be painful but nope! The only really uncomfortable part was when the doctor measured my cervix. After that a little pinch and it was over! I had mild cramping for a few days and then spotting for about a week and a pretty heavy flow (I'm usually very light). Now that my period is over I have maybe slight cramping once in a while but no spotting anymore. Good BC! Get a Dr who knows how to insert and I think that makes a huge difference."


"I am a 72 years old male, have taken this med for a year now.  Definite increase in weight and breast size (as much as 5-7 lbs), easier urinary flow, but not as it used to be, notable decrease in sperm, erections at first were more difficult, but have improved over the past six months.  Originally tried a Natural prostrate offering for six months with little sign of change, but thinking now that my prostate has shrunk some, I'll try that again before renewing this prescription.  Notably,  my PSA score dropped from 6.5 to 3 over the past year!"


"I had anterior cervical corpectomy 3 weeks ago, in pain constantly, don't want to get addicted to harder drugs so I am trying this, has helped immensely. Will continue, now can get a good nights sleep pain free, try it."


"Works wonders every time! The first time I tried Zomig my limbs felt kinda noodly, but that only happened the first time--never again.  It worked so fast I could feel the pain dissolving within 10 minutes. It tasted sweet and dissolved very quickly with no yucky aftertaste.  I have even taken just one half of the 2.5 g tablet --hard to do cause it's so little and fragile--while at work because I was concerned about side effects. The half dose still knocked out the migraine, and no side effects."


"I have been dealing with chronic constipation for 6 years due to a muscle disease and pain medications. I have been on Amitiza for over 3 years now and have had no side effects at all. I have also had little to no problems with constipation since starting the medication. I would recommend anyone considering Amitiza to try it. If you have any side effects from it, I would bet they are better than dealing with the constipation."


"took this for 1 month and experienced no major mood swings or nausea.  However, immediately, I got CANKER sores (I never get these) and pimples (when my complexion is generally clear).  Then I had light spotting for a few days about 1.5 weeks prior to when my period should have came - then it was followed by heavy breakthrough bleeding.  Can't recommend this if you're trying to regulate your period.  Will be switching to a different brand."


"I had tried every medication that my doctor gave me for bipolar disorder and none of them worked. Then they put me on latuda. It worked wonderful for me. I was on it for a year and a half. Then I got tired of the tremors. I have been off of it for over 6 months now and I still have the tremors. I'm a diabetic and cause of the tremors I can't tell when my sugar is low. I also can't feel when it is high either. This medication works great for bipolar but the side effects suck."


"Long story short, me and my bf made a mistake while I was on my period. We didn't want to risk it so I took plan B the following night.

My period lasted an additional 10 days... I guess symptoms and their severity differs. I had non stop migraines and cramps during the 10 extra days. Felt nauseous, and started bursting into tears at odd moments. I felt depressed and my mood kept changing uncontrollably. I wasn't sure what was happening. My friend asked if I was pregnant (I'm not the pill worked) but looking deeper into the reviews and side effects... I wouldn't have taken it."


"This drug give me hallucinations And made my body tingle."


"So I work at a hospital and am constantly on my feet, walking/running for 12+ hrs straight. Somehow I injured my foot and started limping by the end of my shifts. Went to the Dr on Friday and she gave me a packet... Its Monday morning and my foot feels a ton better. The swelling is almost gone completely. No side effects, no redness of the face, nothing... Give it a 10 for working great for me!"


"It made me violent. 1 month straight. My breast stayed sore. I am already bipolar II and I needed this pill to stop my PMDD spikes and it amplified it. "


"I have used this medicine for two years and by far the best treatment for my multiple sclerosis. No side effects, and I don't have to take daily shots. I would recommend this to anyone who has multiple sclerosis.
"


"Have suffered from leaking all my life which became so much worse as l passed the menopause. Saw consultant for years who then said he could not help me. I was devastated.

Then saw another who gave me several different tablets to use together although that wasn't the norm. Then offered me Botox. It worked beautifully straight away. My whole life changed for the better. Had the treatment twice and then a totally different illness became evident and l had an operation.

Applied to have the Botox again and l am having it for the third time next week. I'm so pleased.

Shame for those it didn't work well for but for me it's a life changer."


"I found this today be a lifesaver, but at the same time it has cut years off what life I had. I have aged faster, have little energy to do things, my INR is not very stable, my memory is not what it once was (I used to be called a walking phonebook/dictionary by my ex), etc. Now all of these things MAY be attributed to something else, but I have my sincere doubts."


"I've been on aubra for a month and a half currently and I feel great. The first week I had constant headaches but they went away and now everything is fine. My periods became shorter and I'm not pregnant so I definitely like this pill."


"Haven't had an exacerbation since."


"I got the arm implant 8 months ago and I LOVE IT!! Don't let the scary reviews freak you out. I haven't had any bleeding since the day I got it. No pain, no hormonal imbalances or any issues at all! Really it's the best decision I made. I didn't like the idea of something being inside me "down there" so this was perfect. Insertion was a breeze, they numb the spot and wrap you up when you're done, easy. Really I have no bad comments about it. Give it a try, it might be just what you're looking for!"


"Such a miserable experience. I could not wait to have it removed.
Copper inside the body caused pelvic inflammation. The worst pain.."


"My dad started to see things and think things were happening that were not, He was put on Haldol and it works, they were going to slowly take him off it and when we took his noontime pill away he got bad again almost right away. This medicine really has worked for him and allowed him to stay home with us."


"I started taking this less than a week ago, but will be stopping it because of the side effects. It has helped my acne, but the side effects don't make it worth it. I constantly feel nauseous, have headaches, feel feverish, and am unusually exhausted."


"The doc tested for Flu and it came back negative but he said I had all the symptoms of the flu (fever, body aches, dizziness, etc). He prescribed Tamiflu and said I could continue taking OTC medications as well. By the second dose, I was sweating profusely and felt clammy. I took my temp and it was 96.3F. That alarmed me, but I figured it was my body finding another way to fight my "flu". Once I woke up the next day, my temperature was 98F and I felt great but took the third dose of Tamiflu. Bad decision. 96.5 F temp, sweating, and clammy. Apparently hypothermia is a newer size effect of Tamiflu. I will not be taking the fourth dose and will continue my OTC meds. Not worth it."


"Furosemide acts quickly and consistently. My only input is that you would do well to watch your potassium intake  since this medication dumps electrolytes at the loop of henle, in the kidneys. Eat your bananas, oranges and potatoes. ALWAYS let your doctor know you take it. My son was given an antibiotic, that also lowered potassium, and the allergist kept insisting that the baby did NOT take Lasix, that was for old people. I had to show him the bottle for him to believe that I had not mixed up medication names. Anyway, my son had to have a potassium supplement due to the medicine regime. This could have been dangerous for my son, hence my warning."


"Let me say. I had some light bleeding after the first month. Now I have had no periods. I'm 41 years old. I have had the worst periods since I was 16. My mood swings have stopped and my skin is amazing. Look it up. It also helps with acne. I am so grateful. It really does work!"


"I have been experiencing horrible psoriasis on my feet that had me depressed then I started to also experience joint pain (in almost every joint). After a million test my rheumatologist prescribed me prednisone, and honestly after all the bad reviews I didn't want to take it but thank God after a couple months I did. My psoriasis cleared up dramatically! It's like a miracle that I hope is not short lived...

If you are dealing with severe psoriasis and haven't had any relief I would highly suggest you at least try it short term. It will change your life for the better..."


"Took for 2 weeks OK, then suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks.  Tingling sensation all over body, night leg cramps.  I was on the generic, then had the pharmacy switch to the name brand ($274).  The name brand seems stronger, as when I take it, 3 hours later, I get a tingling all over my body.  I will stop taking this until the effects go away and try again."


"I have been taking Latuda for 6 months and I am bipolar II. I also am on Wellbutrin. Overall the medication has made me feel better. But I now find that I am suffering from intense anxiety, which is terrible at night. I need to check with my doctor to see if this is a possible side effect."


"Dose: 25 mg's once daily.
Pro's: found this great for anxiety/mild-moderate depression. Took in the morning with food. Started to feel better within 48 hours. My brain felt calm & focused. Slept so well at night.
Con's: dry mouth,  stomach bloat/continual stomach pain and IBS like symptoms all day long.  I also suffer from GERD/Acid Reflux and already had been taking prescribed PPI stomach pill prior, yet this did not help nor reduce any of gastro side effects of the Sertraline. Unfortunately, this was a deal breaker and I have decided to stop with the med because of ongoing daily stomach/gastro issues. My brain did so well on this med but my stomach did not."


"I take Zofran ODT to relieve the severe medication withdrawal symptoms I experience when I accidentally miss a dose of my prescribed daily medication.  Severe medication withdrawal symptoms such as brain zaps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and dizziness. "


"Day after my girlfriend period finish we made a mistake, after 7 hours she take the Plan B pill and after 5 days she have her period again. I was trying to find the right pill for this situation and the reviews help me a lot, that's why I'm writing this review. It's impossible not to worry, but all I can say that this Plan B is working!"


"I have been on Tegretol for only 2 weeks and it gave me much relief.  Neurontin and Topomax did not work for me.  Only side effect of Tegretol is sleepiness.  I sleep very well at night.  I was prescribed 200mg twice a day, but only take it once a day.  Sometime I take it twice a day if pain in morning is constant."


"I HATED this birth control. Yes, it was easy to use and effective (no pregnancies), but I bled or spotted three weeks out of the month for the TWO years I had the nexplanon. Sex life suffered. I also think the Nexplanon caused more cystic acne on my face."


"I was on this birth control pill for 10-11 months. It caused me to have periods during week 2 of the pills, vaginal dryness!, a lot of hair loss & breakage, really bad embarrassing acne, weight gain, bloating, constant infections, PMS symptoms, etc. I kept going to my OBGYN thinking I had cancer or something was broken. She told me to keep taking them. No way. I quit taking them 2 weeks ago and I feel better already. I'm just afraid it might've done some fertility damage. Time to find a new obgyn and stay off of birth control pills because the side effects aren't worth it! Just will track my ovulation & avoid sex on those days. It's sad obgyns tell you to stay on pills with all these negative side effects, they don't truly care."


"I'm pretty sure that I would have died without it. I had already had full respiratory failure with extended hospital stay and hooked up to oxygen when I went home. Then once I got off of the oxygen I had emergency level exacerbations sometimes 3 or 4 times a week which increases your mortality rate. When I started using the Symbicort it went away."


"Like many others I received diagnosis after getting so bad that I could barely walk, couldn't get out of a chair without rolling over to the arm and pulling/pushing myself out.  Was prescribed synthetic and got a bit better but my hair started falling out  and got headaches.  I started the research & insisted on the Armour.  Huge difference., esp mental performance. I make my living doing analyses on high risk complex things. It was so wonderful to get my brain back. I had some help from a naturopathic Dr who suggest that I add supplements to address any adrenals damage (adrenal rebuilders). Final step has been traditional Chinese Medicine and I am now almost off the Armour, too.  Western med will tell you thyroid is a lifelong path. Maybe."


"I have been on this medicine for a almost 2 weeks and I finally have my life back. The only thing I am noticing is I can't eat as much which is a good thing. I also have some itching on my arms but not sure if it's from the Viberzi."


"While the irregular periods, frequent spotting, and slightly heavier periods are a drag, the shot has worked very well for me. It is very effective at preventing pregnancy, and is low-maintenance. All you need to worry about is getting the shot every 3 months.
My periods weren't bad before the shot, and they've stayed exactly the same, besides being unpredictable. Just have to worry about changing my pad/tampon. No bad cramps, same amount of acne as usual, and no side effects to speak of.
I'm only on my 6th month of the shot now, and I've heard that after 6 months, the periods typically become more predictable at least, and less blood is shed from spotting. Quite a few women stop having their periods actually, which is what I'm hoping for."

"I started the shot in July 2015 and ended in January 2017. Initially, I had pretty bad headaches, hot flashes, hair loss (nothing that anyone but me noticed), and quite a bit of bleeding (about 3 weeks after my first shot). After, about a month, the side affects started to wane - I stopped bleeding almost entirely (yasss!) and stopped losing hair. That said, while I did not have initial weight gain, I have gained about 15 pounds in the last year (I have never gained this much weight in this amount of time). As a result of the weight gain alone, I am discontinuing with this method of birth control."


"We use this at our hospital for patients who are still awake but less than 50 blood glucose level."


"Epitol is an okay drug but like any drug it has its problems like no sex drive, aggressive behavior and mood swing but if I don't have another seizure it is worth it and so far so good."


"I seriously love this Drug! I'm Schizo-affective. That is my only diagnosis. I've been on it for about a month now! 20 mg in the AM and I cut the next tab in Half, and take 10 mg at Bedtime! My ONLY problem is I have not been eating with it. It does take away my desire to eat. So this has been hard. With all the comments about eating 350 Calories, I will def start eating with it! I was on Haldol for about 8 Yrs. About 6 Months ago it started making me really depressed. I much prefer the Latuda. Keeps the hallucinations away. And the voices."


"I was sick for a few days and the constant coughing was making my chest hurt. I thought I had bronchitis or something worse so I ended up going to the ER. The doctor prescribed Tessalon Perle. I figured it was a "magic" pill after hearing about the side effects. Cool! I took one. I did noticed the cough was reduced but still there. I did sleep better that night after taking 1 pill. By the next day, my cough was gone. I did have a lot of green mucus so I took Tylenol severe cold. I did cough but it was to bring up all that mucus. I feel better after 2 days and 4 pill later."


"I was on NuvRing for 3 years. At first, I loved it. Not having to worry about it and being able to skip periods was amazing. About 2 years in, my sex drive was non-existent. After, I stopped it came right back. It also was painful having sex while I was on it. I definitely experienced the hair loss with it. I did experience weird symptoms taking it out as well. My nipples were sore to the touch, and constant bloating. I also gained a lot of weight coming off, 13 lbs in 2 weeks. It was easier to lose weight about 2 months after stopping. Overall, it wasn't a horrible experience. But, I would not try it again!"


"I went and had my Paragard inserted about a month ago . The procedure was honestly sooooo terrifying (never had children & cramps are always painful) but It didn't hurt as much as I thought. Once you relax the insertion is really easy & quick . I did spot for a couple days after but I was told thats normal. The cramps the Paragard gave me felt nothing like my normal period cramps. It was a few sharp pains in my abdominals but thats it. Me nor my partner are uncomfortable during intercourse & the 10 year plan is definitely a plus. Highly recommend the Paragard for young ladies who aren't looking to start a family anytime soon or have had trouble remembering to take the pill . I almost forgot , who doesnt love a harmone free birth control "


"Over 4 months Ive lost 23 pounds with saxenda. Compared to a 2 month regimen of 15 pounds with phentermine. I feel saxenda is better because there are no noticeable side effects like you get with phentermine. I did not have energy bursts with the sudden crash, increased heart rate or difficulty sleeping like phentermine causes. Also, after 2 or 3 months, in my experience, phentermine stops working. Saxenda is still effective for me. Hope this helps."


"Got the shot in my hip last night for an infection in the lymph nodes in my neck. I felt a little better, but it made me even more sore and sensitive in my shoulders and chest afterwards. Now it's been a full day and all the pain is back, the only thing that isn't is the dizziness. So far, no real difference."


"I am on this patch 5mg for three weeks.  I have been on tramadol for 13 years and maxed out. I am in miserable withdrawal and anxiety and leg cramps and diarrhea  the entire time.  So fidgety and miserable I cannot sleep. MD has  nothing to say.  Do I quit ?  I  want to forget it and go back on tramadol."


"I was not looking forward to having this after reading all the reviews in here. I asked for the numbing gel as I was that scared of it hurting. It didn't hurt putting it in the scope thing to open your vagina hurt me more. I've had it now 2 hours I am bleeding but was bleeding before I had it in. I've taken painkillers just in case it starts to hurt but can't feel any pain at the moment. I have really bad painful periods and was fed up of having the depo jab. Fingers crossed this will work but don't believe everything you read on here because it didn't hurt as much as people said on here it would. I spoke to 4 nurses when I had this inserted and all of them had the mirena and highly recommended it. Hope this works."


"I'm 58. I have had issues with my erection for about 5 years now and rarely have sex.

Took 50mg Viagra. All I can say is FABULOUS! Took about an hour to kick in but then lovely firm erections for a number of hours. Managed a number of ejaculations which was another bonus.

Side effects were dizzy spell, very mild headache.

"Take it with water or juice, it has lowered my cholesterol significantly over the last 6 months."


"I've been on depo since I was 18, I'm now 23. I"ve had no side effects, thankfully. It's really just hit or miss, you wont know until you give it a try. Only complaint I have is my arm is REALLY sore the first day & sometime through the second day after you get the shot. If you do choose to use this form of birth control find out your recommended dose of vitamin C & D, you definitely need these vitamins while taking this drug! I get my shot every 3 months at plan parenthood & pay out of pocket $125, so it's about $40/mo? NOT TOO BAD! I've never became pregnant while using depo & I only have spotting during the two weeks my depo is due so about once every 3 mo."


"This medicine was the best thing that ever happened to me. That is, during the short amount of time that it actually did work. The side effects and it's ability to keep me awake came on hard and strong. I was emotionally unstable for about 3 days but that passed quickly. Then I was off to bigger and better things. I was busy all the time and started accomplishing things. I also started to lose a little weight and morphed into this social butterfly. It was awesome. Then it started to level off and before I knew it, I was napping again and back to my usual depressed self. Doctor kept upping the dosage til I got to the highest dosage twice a day and it still didn't work. So I've been taken off Nuvigil and am moving onto some other ADHD meds."


"I was using 1 pump of Vyloma 3 nights a week on my forearms. Was going to do legs, face, etc. (Very fair) but I had to stop. Have intense joint pain all over & can only assume it's the Imiquimod. I used Aldara packets many years ago on my chest & did not have these problems but I've since had breast cancer and maybe my immune system can't handle it. I am almost unable to walk my feet are so swollen. I last applied the Imiquimod 30 hours ago so I'm hoping this pain and swelling goes away quickly"


"My mom took this medication and not long after she passed away. I think this medication played a good part. I wouldn't take it if I was any1 but hopefully it might work for you."


"My acid reflux has been so bad that I thought it was bile reflux.  My mouth was sour all the time; my stomach was bloated all the time; I just felt sick.  I tried half a dozen different things including Gasx, prilosec, gaviscon and others.  None of them helped.  I tried Zantac three days ago and have been taking two a day ever since and my symptoms are gone.  Alka Seltzer gives me some immediate relief and I've been taking Alka Seltzer all my adult life, but Zantac just clears up the whole sour mess that has made my life miserable."


"I can not tell the difference when I take or do not."


"Its my 4th day on 500 mg of metronidazole twice daily and 500 mg of cefprozil twice being treated for bacterial vaginosis the smell is gone! Im so relieved but it burns a bit like when I get bladder infections but I'm confident when I'm done these pills I can a dress my bladder I been getting bladder infections for years off and on anyway off topic the pills dont have a taste just swallow with big gulp of juice or water and your good I dont notice any side effects other than the burning its bearable Tylenol or advil can help with that I was so embarrassed by the smell I finally had to do something so glad I did"


"Was prescribed for depression, but it affected my panic disorder very much. I went from 6-7 panic attacks a day to 1-2 a week/month. It really really helped with my anxiety overall too. I feel less anxious. The initial 2 weeks were horrible though, increased anxiety, hot flashes. And it interacts with a lot of medications (including vitamin d supplements)"


"This stuff worked wonders for me, and additionally I had absolutely no side effects what so ever from it, so talk about a double win when we tried this medicine out. Started on 300mg and it took about 75-80% of the edge off of the depression.  Proceeded to add ability (had a rare side effect, made my eyesight horrible), added Prozac 40mg (helped but made me go limp in ways a guy never likes to happen), then down to 20mg (side effects mostly went away) but still not enough, went to 600mg of Wellbutrin and have been 100% depression free for the past 1  year."


"I have been on the Depo for 10 years!!! And it has been wonderful!! I don't have mood swings, I don't have depression. I feel a little blue on the day of the shot but that's about it. I did experience weight gain at first, I was 128 lbs starting on it then ballooned to 165 in the first 3 years, and now hover at 153 lbs (without real exercise but watching what I eat), I'm 5'6". The only reason I'm getting off of it is because my current obgyn, who I switched to after 5 years of being on depo because my last obgyn retired, freaked out that I had been on it so long and wants to give my body a 1 year break due to the bone density loss issue. No acne, and my periods stopped after 6 months."


"I started this birth control a little over a month ago, and it's my first time being on birth control. I'm pretty happy with it. The first week or so my body was adjusting to the drug, so I was much more moody. However my body has seemed to have adjusted, and I'm pretty happy with it. My only complaint is that my period has been almost nonstop. I bled for 2 1/2 weeks, stopped for a few days and now I'm back to bleeding again. I feel like I'm possibly dying but I read somewhere that this is normal so I'm gonna give it time. All in all I'm happy with it and I'd recommend it."


"I've taken 10mg for about 18 months and it's worked very well. The medicine has lifted my depression and reduced anxiety levels. For a previous depressive episode about 5 years ago I used citalopram, but I think escitalopram is stronger and has less side effects. "


"I'm getting my 18th shot this month that means I have successfully completed the vivitrol program at a local adult facility. This shot did something not sure what but I don't have urges or wants to use drugs I was an I user and ruined my life almost but now I'm successful and nobody would ever guess how bad I use to be. And I don't ever have to be a junkie again. Thank god.... no side affects so I hope I can keep it up after this month and I hope my brain is okay with me stopping the shot."


"In 1986, I had Intramedullary rods inserted in my RT femur and LT Humerus, and require internal, and external fixation to stabilize my horribly fractured pelvic.  Since then, I have resisted, for the most part, narcotics.  In early September I was prescribed Ultram.  Not too good..."


"I found zyprexa to be quite effective however it made me very tired and unmotivated though. I was incredibly hungry all day. Only stayed on it for about a month and put on 7lbs. I am in the process of exploring different antipsychotics that are more weight friendly. Putting on weight was making me depressed and making me become more hostile because of it"


"I've been using Drysol recently and it works fantastic. I noticed that I would sweat a lot before I started using the product and I was really embarrassed! Now I put on Drysol every other day during the week and then not at all on the weekends. It works SO well. The first time stings a lot and it may prevent you from continuing usage but don't give up! Soon you won't feel a thing when you apply it! Then only thing I don't like about it is that the skin in my armpits is darker and I don't like the way it looks but its worth it if it means no sweating!"


"I have been on this pill for about a year now and I love it! Although I notice I gained a little weight, I still enjoy 8 months out of the year with no period and I love it!"


"I get sweaty and I sweat right through that stuff"


"I've been using Fentanyl 50 every other day for 9 years. (Tramadol for breakthru) My pain is controlled, and it had saved me from the pills. Using percocet prior, I would take more pills than I should and now just patch and forget.
Problem- new drug laws are keeping ppl who need the meds from getting them.
 To keep patches on without tape, be sure to rub area with a dry towel before applying, then hold on skin for 30 seconds. I haven't lost a patch in 8 years.
 Biggest worry is having to find a Pain management center who will let me keep the patch. I played the pill game for years. The new laws are lowering the quality of my life. I am not an addict because I use pain meds."


"Paxil was the first medicine I was ever diagnosed with for general anxiety and depression. Yes, the medicine did stop the anxious crazy non stop thoughts, but it also stopped everything else. I didn't care about anything & nothing bothered me. There was one point I almost got fired at work (or came very close to it) & I honestly did not have a nervous bone in my body, blank faced I listened to what my boss told me I did wrong & said "k" then went on with my day. In other words, you just don't care. Paxil was very weird for me... For the first few days I would feel calm, then for about 2 days I'd get this high that made me feel finally like myself again! Then I would feel like a Zombie. I felt like my mouth was glued shut & couldn't laugh."


"I took Latuda for about 5 months. First two weeks at 20mg - worked fine. Thought clearer, overall better mood. Two weeks later I was bumped up to 40mg - problems ensued. Severe restlessness (akathisia). Was then bumped up to 80mg, then 120, then down to 100... the akathisia became more unbearable at every dose. That, and my brain started feeling overly stimulated and my body gained this sense of underlying fear. Plus, I gained TERRIBLE anxiety. I can verify the anxiety stemmed from the Latuda because I forgot to take my meds one night and it was gone by the following morning. I'm giving Latuda a 6 because I know how it felt when it worked properly and I know it benefits many. Unfortunately, things just didn't work out for me big picture."


"I had side effects from these drugs but found when I did not take them at the same time it wasn't as bad. In States where it's legal, THC help with the diverticulitis as well as the side effects of flagyl and cipro."


"I have been on many Bipolar medicines, Lamictal, Seroquel, Geodon, lithium, also Xanax to help me sleep. I have been on Saphris for one week and started feeling better the next day. I will admit it tastes terrible, but my doctor told me the trick is to take a sweet tart with it, and it isn't so bad. Works for me. My dosage has gone from 5mg to 10 mg, but I'm getting the best sleep I've ever had except for some strange dreams, but I cant complain. The benefits outweigh the taste and dreams any day. I highly recommend this medicine (and a sweet tart!)."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"While it did the job the taste was TERRIBLE!  I tried breaking it down into even portions and using the chaser but even that didn't help. Hope I don't have to go through this again any time soon!"


"Applicators are uncomfortable. Not as effective as Vagifem for some reason even though dosage is supposedly identical."


"After trying Vesicare and Enablex, neither of which offered much relief; with the side effect of dry mouth making it difficult to do my job which involves many daily consultations. I felt as though they caused my speech to be noticeably affected in a negative way. Botox has truly changed my life. The procedure itself was unpleasant but the results that I experienced within 7 days have given me (and my frustrated family) normalcy. If all else has failed, I highly recommend it. My extended medical plan denied my claim for reimbursement as Botox is not yet approved by Health Canada for this indication. I have an appeal filed."


"It really helped with my coughing, but it made me extremely sleepy."


"I started taking this birth contol 4 days ago for contraceptive purposes, however I have had terrible cystic acne for the last 3 years of adulthood and its all cleared up. Not to even to mention, I have lost NINE pounds in 4 days and have had absolutely NO side effects. I have taken several types of birth controls and have had awful side effects. I am hoping to continue liking this pill! So far, so good!"


"I noticed some itching and discharge down there and wouldn't be able to make it in to see my doctor for another 9 days, so I chose to take matters into my own hands. Bought the Walgreens brand of 3-day Miconazole cream and honestly have never felt worse. The itching and burning intensified so badly that it left me sobbing because I just couldn't take it. Reading other reviews is what made me decide to leave it in and try to see if it would work and get better like it did for others, but I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep with this pain so i took a dose of Nyquil. Hoping that puts me to sleep and that I can wake up feeling better in the morning. Next time I'm going oral treatment for sure because this just doesn't seem worth it."


"I started on 10/26/16 beginning weight was 187 . I go in on Monday for my one month check up, weighed myself today I'm only at 182. Hopefully the second month goes better. :)"


"I've found topamax to be a useful tool in migraine prevention. I've been fighting these now for over 25 years and I've gone as far as having sinus sx and dentures to replace my top teeth to reduce the triggers of these monstrous headaches. I've come to believe there's no magic pill to take it all away but topamax reduces the severity greatly. The little tingling sensation will go away and saltiness are great when you have to take meds and don't have a full stomach. It helps with the nausea.  Whether topamax is the drug for you- don't lose hope. Just keep trying to find the right combination of diet change, sleep, trigger reduction, and meds until you find what works for you."


"In my particular case, famotidine does not seem to relieve my symptoms on a consistent basis."


"Received first series of Supartz shots in 2005. Pain free until 2009. In 2012 I was unable to receive Supartz...office was no longer offering them...received another product ...no relief from pain. Will be looking for a doctor that does offer Supartz."


"I have been on naltrexlone now for 16 weeks and not had a drink not even wanted one crazy to say I drank from morning till night only thing I feel really weak n tired n sleep rubbish but it has stopped me drinking so 100% worth it xxx"


"Belviq works great for an appetite suppressant.  I experienced a little dizziness and a couple first days I had slight chills. (? - could be coincidental)  But 2 times I took it with Allegra-D and had a horrible headache - the kind where you think you might puke...migraine status.  I truly believe it was just the combination of the pseudoephedrine and the Belviq.  I've never had a headache when I take it with Benadryl. (I have bad spring allergies)"


"Great when used safely!"


"I love it. It takes every pain away. It takes 2 hours for the full effect. I feel it starting to work after about 25 minutes."


"I was on Ocella for about 6 months.  I never experienced any headaches or spotting or anything like that and I'm not pregnant, so in those aspect Ocella was great.  But I had horrible MOOD SWINGS!  "


"Excellent for pain relief of my hands and knees with no more stomach upset. No side effects noted. Great medicine."


"Made my depression worse, had to stop it....."


"Been on it for a week and so far I really have seen improvement.  Have middle lobe enlarged prostate.  Have had symptoms for probably 20 years but mid-lob diagnosis was not found out until a sonogram of the prostate.  No side effects so far.  Sex drive seems to be okay.  Was worried about that one.  Now instead of going to urinate 1-2 times an hour I now go about once every 4 hours!  Huge improvement."


"I have suffered from insomnia for many years and tried a lot of different meds to help me stay asleep. I had no problem falling asleep but I would only stay asleep 1 to 4 hours and some nights I wouldn't sleep at all. Sometimes I went 6 to 14 days with only cat naps for 15-30 minutes during the day. I would even fall asleep exercising riding a stationary bike. But no more! I have been on Belsorma fo about 3 1/2 months and I feel like a new person. Now I'm sleeping 6 -10 hours a night. Sure I still have a few nights(about 10) where I only sleep 3-5 hours. But I'll take that ANY day compared to the past. I started out on 10mg and have just moved up to 20mg. But no side affects. Except perhaps a little weight gain. But it's worth it. Go ahead!"


"I have trouble reaching climax due to Sertraline. Viagra 50mg helps me maintain an erection longer so I am able to climax/ejaculate. Works great."


"Entering day 4 after 3 nights of taking this. (5mg once at bedtime). Had high hopes this would be different. Taste is bad, but not the end of the world, goes away fast. Within 20 minutes, stumbling around, slurred speech and have to go to sleep.  Restless for awhile and then do fall asleep.  Was out in the heat for about an hour yesterday, and drank plenty of water, but had massive headache the rest of the day. Afraid to workout due to warnings about over heating.  Mornings have been bad, extreme fatigue until about noon, flu like physical symptoms, and no lift in mood yet at all.  Losing hope although I know it's early.  About to call doctor and see what to try next."


"I took 400 mg per day for three months for chronic headaches. I had no side effects from it, but it did not help my headaches - no decrease in headache frequency or intensity."


"This is the only prescription that has ever helped.  The doctor gave me free samples, but now I can't afford to keep taking it.  I have good insurance but it's still a $197 per month co-pay!"


"I'm 20 years old and just started Pristiq 4 days ago. First time on antidepressants and I noticed a change immediately! I can actually enjoy my days and not cry excessively or get as many anxiety attacks. The only side effects I have are nausea and loss of appetite. But I highly recommend it!"


"I started the shot when I was 17 after a miscarriage, my period has always been irregular but once I started the shot I bled for a month straight. After that first month I stopped having periods all together. Before I got on the shot my weight was consistent always stayed around 120.. but after my weight started going up, by the time I was 18 I was going on 140. During my second semester In college I got off the shot because I didn't like the fact that I was gaining so much weight, before school started back I got back on the shot bc it was much easier than taking the pills, and my period was a mess I never knew when it was coming so I wanted to put a stop to that. Now I'm 19 and pushing 170 I have gotten off the shot and REFUSE to take it"


"My blood pressure was 270/120 and had to work through many drugs before this one lowered my anxiety and blood pressure. At 20 mg a day usually take all at night time for sleep to. Side effects sometimes headache. Strong addiction and should be weaned off it slowly or your head will hurt non stop for a month. A nightmare to stop cold. It lasts eight times longer than Xanax or Klonopin they are two brothers not to mess with. At first you may have the sedated effect before you become more resistant to the drug. Where you get the drug also makes a difference. Some stores give the yellow tablet which melts in mouth as clean as water. Other stores have an orange tablet that tastes like paper. Walmart has the good one and some grocery but not CVS."


"I usually have REALLY bad period pain, and it was becoming a real problem to deal with, particularly at school. I tried several other medicines, like paracetemol, but they weren't very effective, even after taking 3 within a few hours of each other. I tried 1 x 50mg diclofenac tablet, and after about an hour, all my pain was gone. It's been about 4 hours now, and I'm still 100% pain-free."


"Developed life thratening reaction after 4 day's selling of face shortness of breath plus other complicated issues 2 years later

II am reaching out to other women please think twice before it is used"


"My 14 year old son has been on sertraline 25 mg  for about 7 months for anxiety,  it has really helped him a lot. But now he has become  depressed,  I believe  school  has a lot to do with it, because  he just got into his second  semester  and now has a class called pace, and he has to go in front of the class and talk, he hates that, so today  he had a little  breakdown  and refused to  go to school  and said he felt overwhelmed,  so I took him to his doctor  and the  doctor  upped his dosage  to 50mg, but my daughter  says it's not a good idea because  it could trigger suicide,  so I don't  know what to do,  my son is also in therapy."


"this drug makes all my anxiety go away.or makes it not as noticiable to me."


"Ok so I read and heard a lot of reviews on this medication. It seems that people were losing major weight on this drug.  I first got a prescription in August of 2014.  I'm so wary of taking pills that it kinda scared me to take them.  Side effects, will it make my heart beat fast, can I take it with ibuprofen etc... I was just worried because you always hear after the fact that a drug was bad for you. Needless to say I never progressed to taking the whole pill. I did however lose about 5 lbs . In January 2015 I went back.  I had gained back what I lost.  My weight was 186 lbs. I started taking the pills and lost about 8-9 lbs with in the first 3-3 1/2 weeks . going back for more and down 11 lbs now."


"This medication sucks. I only experienced side effects and no benefit. I would rather spend my time looking for another way to treat my illness than to give any of these antipsychotics another chance. All of them cause weight gain sexual side effects, tardive dyskensia, tardive dystonia among other side effects that could mess you up for life.  I admit it's very debilitating at times but I would rather have my orginal problems than to be given another set of problems to replace them. If your psychosis is really bad and you can't live a normal life at all and your homeless and you scare people or end up in jail because your illness than I say take it. But if you can wait till they figure out how to make better meds than wait."


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


"I made a comment here a couple of years ago when I had just been put on Xarelto, before that I had been on  Elequis. The side effects were to bad, especially with Xarelto, that I stopped any medication. However, a change in Cardiologist, and I was eventually persuaded to try another, PRADAXA. This one suits me and I have no side affects at all  Xarelto gave me really bad migraines, my head felt as if it was swelling and my eyes popping out. I couldn’t get out of bed most days. I will never forget that. You have to take responsibility for your health.  Always speak to your Doctor first. If your not happy get a second opinion."


"Taking 15mg ER daily for 7+ years. Very effective re: urge incontinence."


"For me, Relpax is a miracle pill. If I take it at migraine onset, the headache doesn't get worse.

Unfortunately, my new insurance doesn't cover it. Sumatriptan got rid of the headache but turned me into a completely incoherent zombie for about twelve hours. I've never been so zonked out on a medication before. And it wasn't a fun kind of zonked-out. I was drowsy, got dizzy if I stood up for too long, couldn't focus on work, and couldn't legally drive a car. Rizatriptan also got rid of the headache and only made me about half as zonked out as the sumatriptan.

"


"Had taken over the counter medicines for almost 15 years. Had tried many different prescription medicines too, and Dexilant has been the "wonder drug". I got to the point of throwing up in my sleep at least 2 times a week for the last 3 months. But, have not had one episode of vomiting since I began the medicine. I even cooked an Indian Dish the other night that I would not have even tried (just for the family usually) and I had my first enjoyment of spicy foods in over 15 ( )years. Amazing. Completely AMAZING."


"Outstanding medication for obsessive compulsive stress disorder, Panic, Agoraphobia. I have been on this medicine for 15 years and it has eliminated my panic attacks, anxiety and am able to leave the house without fear. Side effects include rapid heart rate, dry mouth and sexual dysfunction and hypotension. I take Anafranil at night. There is absolutely no weight gain, in fact I lost 50lbs. I did switch to Zoloft with no success and am back on Anafranil. There were no withdrawal symptoms when tapered off. This is one of the best meds in the TCA class and works better than the new SSRIs for me."


"This medicine is life changing. Was always so angry around getting my period. Mood swings, crazy thoughts, like wanting to leave my husband for no reason. It saved my marriage, so much happier now. It's a blessing."


"Years I have had IBS. I hate it.   So embarrassing.  Bently helped so much. No more cramps. No more pain.  No more running to the bathroom or missing time at work.    The dry mouth is terrible but it's better than almost pooping my pants so I will put up with it."


"I take Adderall for ADHD, simply put my GPA in college has literally doubled to 3.5, school is easy now. This medicine is like night and day. I'm glad it only lasts for a certain time 6-8 hours. I have zero appetite on the medicine and lost 15 lbs in two weeks when I started these pills. Aggression is increased. Adderall is amazing. Listen to your doctor and do not take more than you are supposed to."


"I just tried this, a pharmacist recommended to it me to keep my nose from drying out from using my oral inhaler, I often get bad nose bleeds. This stuff burns like crazy! I put just a tiny bit in the front part of each nostril. I felt like my nose was on FIRE. And the post-nasal drip that went down the back of my throat burned quite a bit too. After about 4 mins my nose feels better, but to be honest, I'm not sure it's because the stuff worked or because the burning stopped. Next time, if there is a next time, I'll try just putting a bit above my upper lip in front of my nostrils. "


"I am 20 and have taken this pill for a little over a year. I have yet to get pregnant, so it does its job as far as I am aware. I haven't personally had the side effects of low sex drive or acne; my skin actually has cleared up a lot since starting it. I did, however, gain about 10 lbs after starting Microgestin (thankfully losing 5 lbs since the initial gain). Additionally, I noticed dramatic mood swings and depression. I feel like I cry over minor details, and I never used to cry about practically anything. It's the only birth control method I have tried and my insurance makes it free."


"I haven't had any harsh side effect but I can't get a single patch to adhere to my skin for longer than two days! That's the on benefit I loved with Ortho Evra. I just stuck it to my butt cheek and went about my life for a week. There have been times in the last 5 months that I haven't even noticed the fell off untill my period started early. I'm currently switching to the Nuva Ring. Let's hope it stays put - it should."


"I had skyla inserted a few months ago all I have to say is don't believe what other people say everyone is different and have different reactions to stuff and different bodies i was also afraid to get skyla because of what people had said about it but I definitely didn't want to go in birth control pills knowing I was going to easily forget to take them knowing me lol I did have a few cramps and I have not had any spotting I went to my last appointment everything was all good I'm also a breastfeeding mom and it did not reduce my milk supply at all witch is one of the reasons I also didn't want to get skyla because I was afraid to loose my milk supply but I didn't. also was afraid to gain weight I have not gained any weight at all it worked"


"I have bipolar 1, GAD & PTSD. I can't rage antidepressants (even on mood stabilizers) because of the bipolar disorder and buspirone proved useless for me. Xanax has really helped me keep my anxiety under control. I don't get the sedating effects that most people seem to. I've been on the same dose for over five years. When my mother passed away, I was also on ativan PRN for a short period of time and sometimes I wish I still had that, too. Not for everyday use, just for extremely triggering events."


"This is an anti inflammatory.  If you have a serious inflammatory response in your system, this will take time to reduce your pain. It is not like oral pain relievers with near immediate results. Patience is needed. If you're having trouble with it adhering to the skin, make sure the area is free from oils, either naturally or lotions or soap residue. I have no problems at all with them. My RA flared up in addition to my cocyx broken off, literally.  The pain  was so severe that oral meds weren't effective. It took several days to feel the beginning of relief, and I've improved steadily. If you've used these short term and are the impatient type, chill out and give them a chance. They do work."


"I have been on Seasonique for 3 months now. I recently started to have a light breakthrough bleeding and cramps (which I had almost NEVER gotten before). My acne is semi-normal for my young age. Maybe it's a little more severe than usual, but not much. I started reading all the reviews because I was worried about my bleeding and cramps. My side effects are no where NEAR as bad as some peoples'. I still suggest this birth control for anybody thinking about it. It has been AMAZING not having to worry about my period!"


"I'm 21. Despite being active managed to get a DVT in last weeks of pregnancy. Was on fragmin injections then was swapped to this tablet 5mg twice a day. Not noticed any physical changes to my affected leg swelling is still apparent. Feel dizzy and on the verge of fainting more than three times a day..thats the side effect I have had."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for 10 months now and my periods haven't been longer than 3 days, the third month my period was really heavy and I had bad cramps. As far as birth control, I haven't been having sex, and I never had bad acne to begin with. Overall, I've had a moderate experience. I take the pill in the morning and it does make me nauseous. I also am very depressed on it, and experience crazy mood swings. I spend at least one day out of the month crying, and the littlest thing will ruin my mood, or make me want to cry. My mom and sister talk about how I have multiple personalities because my mood is so unpredictable. "


"I have taken Prograf since my liver transplant eight years ago.  Very few side effects. Nothing compared to dying with liver disease. Very blessed from the drug and my donor Spencer."


"I've had the Implanon since June 2013. Since then no bleeding and cramps were tolerable. The past three days I've been bleeding really heavy and I have no idea what to do."


"I had an eye test and found that my vision was much worse.  While waiting for my new lenses she gave me Xiidra eye drops and a coupon, plus some Systane eye drops that I used just over a month (33 days). After a month of Xiitra/Systane my vision changed drastically. She ran another eye exam and showed me the difference of both exams. My last exam was perfect compared to a month ago which was unrecognizable letters. The best insurance offered my wife as an RN won't cover Xiitra. That's $500+ a month to you and me."


"After years of suffering I decided to try mess again for my PMDD.  Zoloft made me feel like a zombie and my body had many side effects to Prozac.  I had electric shocks in my brain, paranoia which I don't normally have, feeling out of it/forgetful, anxious, dry eyes, moody, thought people were plotting against me and my depression got worse.  On top of all that I went from being 5' 11 and 155 pounds to weighing 195lb in ONE month without changing my eating habits!!  My doc convinced me to give it some time for the med to work so stayed on it for  3 months-wish I quit sooner. I have now been off of it since Feb but still feel slight effects of the Prozac. Eventually Wellbutrin ended up helping me tremendously so I have stayed on that."


"I gave the Yasmin 10/10 as I started taking it for birth control and I did not become pregnant. But I want to point out some other effects Yasmin had on my body. I originally changed from Microgynon to Yasmin after a period of taking no birth control as I heard Yasmin could improve mood and gives some women a feeling of well-being, which I did experience. Yasmin also gave me slightly larger breasts and I lost about half a stone in weight.

The reason I stopped taking Yasmin was because of a sudden dramatic appearance of cellulite on my thighs and bum. I am a UK size 6 and have never had cellulite before in my life (I'm 26),  I have been taking Microgynon again for 2mths and the cellulite has completely vanished."


"Had to stop taking this medication after 2 days because of serious side effects. First off the taste of metronidazole is horrid. Also I experienced nausea, depressed mood, paranoia, and bizarre thoughts. I'm also taking Prozac 20mg daily. I read online that the two taken together could potentially cause serotonin syndrome. I was not myself on this medication, regardless of effectiveness."


"Just started taking it and notice improvement"


"28, never had kids. So I had skyla put in the 19th of November. The experience of having it put in is something I wasn't prepared for. It wasn't that it was cramps, I felt more of intense pressure then anything else. 9.5/10 pain.  I'm now a week in to having it and let me tell you, I am an emotional wreck. One minute I am happy, next I'm definitely not!  I have no idea how long this is going to last, but I sure as hope not for long. It's ridiculous. Now, as for the bleeding. I have not had any of the spotting, or anything of the sort. So that's a plus. Occasionally I will feel slight cramps but only really minor. As for the sex part, my partner has felt the wire or thread a few time during intercourse. So thats not fun.."


"I have been HIV positive for over 16 years.  I have taking HIV meds since 2004.  A trick that I learn when taking Complera that may help some people.  Complera has the drug rilpivirine in it.  This drug is marketed under the name edurant.  I use take it by itself before I started on Complera.  The trick is to take the drug in the morning at breakfast but only take it halfway through the meal.  By doing it this way you coat your stomach before and the food at the other end helps with the absorption of the medicine.  By doing it this way I have never had any stomach issues, and by taking it in the morning I have no sleep issues.  I am currently taking Complera with Tivicay.  My T-cells are over a 1000, and my viral load is undetectable."


"I was on Marlissa for over 6 months and loved it - my periods were regulated, no weight gain, no acne, boobs grew. And I didn't even take it at exactly the time I was supposed to every night! My only con is that my sex drive has greatly declined :( but luckily I have an amazing boyfriend to counteract that! I would definitely recommend this birth control. I had to switch this week to Portia sadly... so we shall see how this one goes."


"I have tried multiple medications for my migraines and Bu-pap has worked the best. I am able to take the medication and not feel sleepy. The best part about it is that I can treat my migraine at work."


"Generic now available =CHEAP! This stuff is AMAZING!
When I'm exposed to an allergen, perfume or pollen, etc., Patanase can squash it within seconds and keeps me from getting sick.  It's a miracle! Since it's a nasal spray applied intranasal, it works extremely fast. While not marketed as a decongestant or specifically marketed for vasomotor rhinitis (non-allergic rhinitis), it works amazingly on both aspects! They should label it as a decongestant (it works better than pseudoephedrine & phenylephrine put together). I'd say it's as good if not better than Afrin (and doesn't come with the rebound congestion/potential addiction).  Hold you head chin to chest looking down while you spray to keep it from going into your throat."


"I initially got put on this birth control because of having hormonal acne around my chin and jawline. I was told it could take around 3 months to start seeing any positive changes, I really havent noticed any change in my acne at all, I'm still getting pimples on my chin, maybe not as many cystic ones that for sure, they're more superficial. However I must say I haven't experienced any bad side effects at all. I was thinking it was going to make me moody and stuff. I got switched to Tri-lo sprintec because I was told it could help more with acne, we will see how that goes."


"Amazing. I noticed a difference after my first infusion, So thankful to have the use of my hands back (musician). No side effects at all."


"45-year-old female, have felt tired for years, as if I always needed more sleep, no matter how much I was able to get. Afraid of needles and not looking forward to giving myself shots, I put off going back to the Dr. for months after my blood work revealed a severe B12 deficiency. Wish I had not, the shot was painless, a tiny needle and easy to do at home. Results are excellent for me, within 3-4 days I was clear-headed in a way I have not felt for years, I do not feel like I needed more sleep all the time! Not implying an overly energetic or a high-type feeling, I just felt normal. The hereditary dark circles under my eyes seem to be lighter too. For me, the results are a dramatic improvement and the medication is very easy to use."


"I have been using Eskalith for the last 5 years now and it has really help control the mania part of my bi-polar. If you want a good medication to help control your mania I highly suggest this one."


"I am 28 years old, I have 1 child and have only had skyla for about a week. First off I had originally gotten the Nexplanon implant back in December and after 3 months of constant bleeding well it was time for a change. I was hesitant on getting an IUD because of the horror stories of how bad it hurt. Well I didn't think it was bad at all. I felt minor cramps for about 10 seconds and had just an uncomfortable feeling the next day but after that everything has been fine. I have had a few days of spotting but just used a panty liner cause it wasn't even that bad! hopefully I have a good experience with this birth control as I don't want to have to change again! I will update my review after a few months to see how it goes!"


"Breast cancer I --- began & continued Aromasin for 4 years plus-shrunk tumor to be non-detectable on mammogram or high resolution scan!!

Aromosin brand no longer covered by my insurance--mandating use of generic instead.   Can only pray that the generic will work as well as brand and with the zero side effects (except for hair thinning) that brand Aromasin provided!
 A true MIRACLE drug!!"


"This is day 2 taking this med. It makes me very queasy and very tired. The nausea and tiredness start about 30 minutes after I take one, and seem to last for 6 or 7 hours. I try to take it with food, but I don't have much appetite  (not gonna be mad about that tho). The uti seems pretty much gone, but I'm also taking Azo."


"When I fell off the wagon I was dreading another trip to the ER when I sobered up. I saw my doctor and he prescribed this and it helped immensely. I have really bad panic attacks and my blood pressure skyrockets along with nausea, shakes, sweats, etc. This medicine helped get me off booze twice. Recommended."


"This medicine did not work for me at all.  I can honestly say that the day I took it was one of the worst days of my life.  I still had a very strong urge to urinate, but could not.  I must have run to the bathroom twenty or thirty times that day, straining to push out a few drops, without being able to.  It was a horrible feeling."


"I had the Liletta for 8 months and for the whole 8 months I was constantly taking pretty strong prescription pain medication because the cramps were so bad that I would be falling to the ground at work
now with that said, I have a few friends that have it as well and have had not a single issue
it works for some people and not for others just like any other birth control
don't turn your back on it just because of other's experience! :) it really is amazing and it did do its job lol"


"I've never experienced problems with my previous birth control but Immediately after starting tri-strintec I started experiencing negative side effects from these pills. I thought it was all due to the change and needed to give my body time to adjust but after a little over a year I've had enough. My periods lasted a month and a half every 3-4 months, would spot for 3 days after intercourse, would constantly wake up covered in sweat, I exercised/ate healthy but still gained 9 lbs This pill has made me nervous to try any other birth control pill."


"I have had Restless Legs since I was a teenager.  All antihistamines aggravate this condition.  Not Astelin, This is a dream come true to take care of my non-allergenic rhinitis, while not exacerbating my Restless Legs.
Thank you so much."


"I've been on Gabapentin for 2 years.  The first 12 months I was on 4x 300mg/day for nerve pain; it worked.  It was around the end of that first year that I "developed" RLS.
I was prescribed Pramipexole & the RLS went away.
Over the next 12 months, my Gabapentin dose was increased from 4 to 8/day due to worse nerve pain.
Sadly, due to side effects, I had to come off Gabapentin; but the RLS returned!
So, at first glance, it appears I need Pramipexole AND Gabapentin to stop the RLS but, due to the aforementioned side-effects, not possible!
So, a larger dose of Pramipexole is on the cards.
Sorry, this is a long-winded way of saying that I believe Gabapentin will help a huge number of people in keeping RLS at bay or at least reducing it."


"Have been using Taclonex for the past year. No relief from psoriasis from scalp and legs and this is supposed to be the best on the market. Cost is restrictive. "


"SMOKERS PLEASE READ:Started taking Sprintec roughly 2-3 weeks after i had a miscarriage. I used this birth control for less than a month. I never missed a day and took it on time every day. Right before i started taking the 'sugar pill' or the last week of pills for the month, i ended up getting SUPER sick sypmtoms including: anxiety, loss of sleep, severe depression and fatal thoughts, very light headed almost passing out, nausea/vommiting just to name a few. I also ended up losing feeling in the right side of my body. Turns out it was from SMOKING WHILE TAKING THE PILL. I stopped taking it and after a 2 weeks FINALLY got to my regular self. Please be careful because smoking while on the pill can be deadly."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"Amoxicilin/Clarithrimycin/Lansoprazole

Started taking them yesterday after receiving a letter saying I have a stomach infection, after having a blood test.

I have bile in my mouth 24/7 and I have been sick twice, I've had to lay down all day.

Phone doc's he said now I've started the antibiotics I should keep at it.

He offered sickness pills... so will have to pick that up tomorrow... well someone will have to.

Hope this isnt a whole week effect!

I've been on omeprazole for years, coming off them was bad for a week but after that I was fine... now I'm back unwell with 3 tablets to take.

Not living the dream. Belly hurts with slight cramping, bile in mouth 24/7, calms down mid days but starts back up again when I take my next dose."


"I have used Neurontin for more than 15 years. I have discovered that it is a great ongoing sleep therapy. The added sleep it grants me is a fantastic help with the neuropathy."


"Paxil definitely works....... but I went from 120lbs to 148lbs in 6 months... for some, this may not bother them since the medicine does actually work. But for me, I can't deal with it! I've never changed my eating habits, and I get plenty of exercise. My weight have never changed besides a lb here and there for YEARS. It's no doubt this medicine will make you gain weight... you just have to choose whether this side effect outweighs the benefits or not."


"After consistently being on nuva ring for over a year, I left it out for a month, so I had no birth control, and within that month my acne cleared up so I assume that the birth control is causing me to breakout more than I should. other than this I think this is the best birth control in the world because it has never once fallen out or been noticeable to me and I don't have the hassle of taking a pill at the same time every day. I've always been sensitive to birth controls, getting sick if I missed it, but I've never had a bad experience with the ring. It also increased my cup size so that's a plus!"


"No major side effects, except very low sex drive. I will be changing my pill as soon as possible because of this."


"Since I've started the patch I've had an increase in libido like all the time . I wasn't like that before ... I'm not complaining . Lol. But down side my skin broke out bad the first week of wearing the patch . And I gained a bad cough that won't stop . Other than that I love the patch since I've worn it I haven't had weight gain but my boobs have went up a whole cup size so no more pretty bras . Lol ."


"I have been on this pain patch for 2 years and I do not think very highly of it. Because I still have tremendous pain even though its suppose to provide relief around the clock. It does take the edge off. But the side effects aren't that great. You will withdrawal from it after you have been on it more than a couple months, its terrible. And while I wait for a p.a. every month sometimes it has taken up to a week for insurance to approve a med I get every month for last 2 years. Withdrawals are horrific with this medicine. I'm actually and honestly thinking about next withdrawal I go through after I'm done. Never putting another patch on me!!! I'd rather take ibuprofen and not have all the side effects. For pain relief equal to ibuprofen!"


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Midrin works much fast.  I can't go without it."


"I broke my neck 2years ago 3 neck surgery's. 4th coming. This patch has been the only medicine that relieves pain. United Health will not cover it after December 31 2014."


"No one warned me that there were ANY side effects to worry about.  I was given 2 injections into my left hip of Kenalog 40.  Later the first evening,  my face was hot and turned scarlet red.  The red swelling went into my right eye and felt like sand.  Then I started getting dizzy.  My blood pressure was off the charts and my blood sugar Doubled!  I had to lay down and all I did was sweat.  I thought I was having a heart attack!!  The next day,  the facial rash was better,  but the dizziness turned into violent shaking!  When sitting very still,  it felt like my whole body was on top of a paint shaker.  I got horrible diarrhea that lasted for days.  My OLP flared into a bloody mess.  It took 12 to 15 weeks to even feel kind of normal again"


"I've been on Myrbetriq for at least two months with no noticeable improvement in my O.A.B.

Increased dosage to 50 mg still no improvement . It doesn't work for me !"


"I remember eagerly waiting for this medicine to come out, and when it finally did, I think I must've been one of if not the only patient my psychiatrist had on it. At first, while taking it in the morning, I felt super nauseated (lost weight from it actually), and felt like I didn't want to get out of bed for anything. So I started taking it at night, which helped a little, but then it suddenly became stimulating for me, so I started taking it in the morning again. That's when I started noticing the therapeutic benefit setting in, which took roughly a week to start setting in. I quit taking it a month and a half later because of akathisia, but decided to give it another go here recently, and haven't really had any problems."


"Great results. Took plain Guaifenesin, 12 hr, 600mg for a cold/bronchitis, but later realized I had no muscle achiness, which otherwise, I have every day. So, I tried Guaifenesin without a cold, and most all the achiness was gone.  The good effect lasted a few days, then the aches were back.  Did lots of yard work, with worse aches after, and so I took Guaifenesin after the fact, and it quickly helped. After reading a lot about, it appears to relax the muscles, although this is not a technical answer. Evidently, taking aspirin or other with salicylates? Blocks the good effect. I was at a point where I wondered if I had arthritis, but I have no joint pain.  Guaifenisen works for me, although I won't take it every day."


"I could stop using it without withdrawals and it didn't have the extreme highs and lows of most benzodiazepines."


"Have not stopped bleeding since I started the pill 3 weeks ago today.  I have gained 10lbs and the non stop bleeding is enough to make me go back to  my painful irregular periods. I am stopping the pill immediately."


"Not really sure how to rate this. I have plaque psoriasis. My doctor prescribed me the Humira. After my first 2 starter doses I started to notice some hair loss. Then I took my first single dose. Noticed even more hair loss. When I washed my hair it was coming out in clumps. Drain was full of hair. So, I stopped the humira and had to switch to another medication. Not sure if this medication would have worked or not. Wasn't able to use it long enough."


"Best medication ever. I quit smoking and am loving life!"


"It works but, it's the pseudoephedrine that keeps you awake all night tossing and turning and I had that for about three days. I was physically exhausted but, wide awake."


"Helped with my pain (scoliosis), but after a few days I bacame very groggy even on the lowest dose (50 2x per day) Cannot take in the morning. They actually seem STRONGER than Vicoden wich I had before, because of the groggy side effect I really feel doped up on them and have told my Dr. I will use in the future for severe pain as needed, not as a daily thing."


"I have been taking Seasonique pretty much since it first came out about 7 years ago, and I've never had any spotting or negative side effects at all. My period usually starts the Friday after I start the inactive pills and is completely over within 3 days. I have always had awful cramps and mood swings, and the Seasonique doesn't help much with those, but it's not so bad when it's only 4 times a year. Overall, this pill is amazing. It used to be pretty expensive, but now it's only $20 with my insurance. Split over 3 months that is really cheap!"


"Started 2/1. Today is 2/11 and I am down 7 lbs. Headaches first 48 hours plus some clumsiness. Still hungry but easy to ignore with no cravings. Portion sizes greatly reduced. It's like a door shuts when I've had enough. Absolutely no craving for alcohol. Split a beer with my husband at dinner and couldn't finish it! I can't believe in 10 days I've become that person who grabs an apple on my way out instead of a bag of chips. And I can't finish the apple either!"


"Injection is the best."


"Love this birth control. I was on ocella before and had to switch due to the pharmacy not carrying Ocella. My  skin is clear with no crazy mood swings and  no weight gain. My period is still 5 days the first two days are horrible. The cramping is the same, but I don't get PMS .This birth control is great if you are battling acne and PMS. It's totally effective. I have only been on it 4 months and I love it."


"Forget taking tamiflu/oseltamivir!  You are better off dealing with the flu symptoms.  I felt flu symptoms coming on this past Monday , saw the doctor on Tuesday and he prescribed tamiflu.   While I thought I was improving Tuesday, after taking tamiflu Tuesday late afternoon, and two doses on Wednesday, I have not been able to sleep either Tuesday or Wednesday nights, have extreme abdominal pain, endless diarrhea, terrible nausea .  But for taking tamiflu I would be feeling much better and would have returned to work today.  Tamiflu is now treating the garbage disposal!   I called and advised my doctor."


"My 10 year old daughter started experiencing acne very suddenly and was getting teased at school.  I took her to the dr who prescribed Retin A .025%.  After a month there was not much improvement so she also started doxycycline.   A month later we started noticing significant improvement.  Now it's been 2 1/2 months on the retin A and about six weeks on the doxycycline and she is so happy, as am I.  She still gets pimples here and there, but the huge patches of acne on her forehead and cheeks are gone.  Her face is sensitive to the sun and gets red at times, but we will take the pink cheeks over the acne any day!!  My advice is to be patient.  It gets worse before it gets better!"
