"My friend age 53 began taking Lisinopril after a double coronary bypass June this year. We asked for the Lisinopril prescription from the doctor because it was cheap and he was going to need a long term ACE inhibitor. He had a history of bronchitis in the past. As time rocked on the cough became worse eventually being put on a home nebulizer. The Physician Assistant changed him from Lisinopril to Diovan. Within 2 weeks the cough had gone away, as well as the wheezing and no longer needed the resp treatments. Personally I feel that Lisinopril is a good medicine if one has no other medical issues. In this case I think it was not a good choice. "


"27 year old female. Suffered with plaque psoriasis since age 12 (15 years) just woke up covered from head to toe one morning. Tried every treatment avail in Canada- nothing worked. Parents went on a year hunt for a cure the first year I had psoriasis,  but turned up with nothing that remotely worked.
Two years ago I was prescribed Stelara , best decision I ever made. Price is insanely high but with the right teams amazing coverage became available. So far no noticeable side effects other than my common cold lasting longer than usual. Blood work and tests always come out fine.
Only problem I have had while on this medication is I was diagnosed with strep throat and because of that my psoriasis came back very drastically and over night."


"I've been suffering for two weeks before I got perscribed Bentyl. Bentyl has helped greatly and helped with the urgency I was feeling. I don't like the drowsy feeling it leaves but I suppose I'd rather have the tiredness than the constant problem of "going". Bentyl has been a good medicine for me. I recommend it to others who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or other problems!"


"Started taking for herniated discs in my neck which caused bad migraines. It's pointless to me. Actually gives me headaches. I honestly think Flexeril works better."


"Was prescribed this almost 2 years ago for a skin infection but quit taking it after 3 days because of severe anxiety, indigestion, nausea, fatigue, dizzyness and who know what else. At the time I was dealing with panic attacks so when my current doctor prescribed it last week I decided, since I was feeling better, to give I one last effort. Days 1-2 were good. Skin was clearing and other than being tired I had no side effects. By day 3 I got a headache that was relentless, I was shakey, couldn't sleep at night but couldn't stay awake during the day, diarrhea started and I quit the medicine at my doctors advice. It's been over 48 hours since my last dose and i still feel like crap. My neck hurts, and I'm still feeling incredibly anxious."


"I've been using Lumigan for about 12 years. Of all the different drops out there (and I've tried them all), Lumigan is the most effective at reducing my IOP. I also currently use Alphagan and Timoptic. Side effects, for me, include some redness and dryness of the eyes, darkening of the skin around the eyes, and longer eyelashes. My eyes were quite dark to begin with so I can't comment on the darkening of the iris Lumigan and other drops in its class are known for."


"Third day taking this medicine. Extreme nausea to the point where I can't eat or drink without feeling like I’m gonna be sick/ actually throwing up. Really hope this works cause honestly don't know how I’m gonna stand three weeks of it."


"In the first week I took Amitiza, I thought it was going to be a miracle answer to my chronic constipation.   But I had a side effect of severe headaches almost every day....and sometimes all day long.  Since I already have migraines, I blamed it on them getting worse.....even though the symptoms were different.  First the headache would start, and within 5-10 minutes a gush of uncontrollable diarrhea.   I kept blaming it all on migraines and seeking treatment for them.  Finally, because of the expense of this one medication and having to take so many more, I had to stop taking Amitiza.  Within just a few days, the headaches with diarrhea stopped.  This is an excellent product if you don't have the side effects."


"I love the patch, I'm 17 and I've been on it for 4-5 months, it's so convenient and easy! My periods last 4 days and are super light, never got sick or felt sleepy! It's amazing."


"Like the others mention, I was put on Asacol after a hospital stay which included high doses of prednisone and transfusions. I was prescribed Asacol and have been flare free for just over 1 year now. Occasionally I experience slight nausea after taking it, but I have found that taking it with a meal reduces or eliminates that problem. I intend to continue to take this medicine because I feel it has allowed me to live a normal life again."


"I was given this for nausea that could not be helped with zofran. I take it on a as needed bases or when the zofran won't work. I have a lot of stomach issues and I can say this stuff definitely helps. It does make me a little sleep but I'll take that any day over feeling sick and throwing up. The down side is the restless side effect. I feel like I have to keep moving unless I somehow manage to fall asleep. Then I am knocked out. Sometimes I take valium or benadryl to combat the feeling. But that leaves me groggy and unable to function"


"paxil is the best medicine for panic disorder. I can tell it will work within 15 days. Just be patient don't give up. Some people say  they put on weight. I didn't put on any weight I've used it for  2 years almost. So it works different for everybody. Paxil stopped my panic attacks. Thank you!"


"Very  good medication.  I tolerated it well.  Makes me very relaxed, and calm mood.  But tired and little motivation."


"I heard a lot of horror stories about this medicine, but, though I realize I'm only on my second pack, I'm happy to say the side effects are bearable. The first month I was really nauseous a lot and I spotted blood every single day for a month. That, admittedly was annoying. But it's better than a lot of what I was hearing. Aside from maybe being a tiny bit more prone to crying, I've not had mood swings, anxiety, depression, or unreasonable anger. I haven't gained tremendous weight, though my breasts have gotten HUGE. Husband isn't complaining. They're still sore often, but nothing terrible. Overall, I'd recommend it. I still don't totally trust birth control pills, but this one is bearable."


"Takes away swelling from knee post-surgery."


"I had severe depression and moderate PTSD. This medication (along with an intensive community treatment program, a psychiatrist, and bi-weekly counseling) helped me to keep going with life. Yes, I gained weight in the beginning. This was due to intense sugar cravings. I do not buy ice-cream, chocolate, or cookies anymore, and have since lost most of the extra weight. For me this was the best option, with the fewest side effects. It has continued to work for 3 years. When I tried to stop taking it, I relapsed. My doctor and I decided it should be a long-term medication for me. This medication has also reduced the frequency of my migraines (but I still take a 'rescue' triptan as needed)."


"I've only been taking this for 2 1/2 weeks but I'm very impressed that my chronic loose stools have completely stopped! I've noticed no negative side effects and if mild constipation is a side effect, I welcome it. I am now taking a little less loperamide and I'll be experimenting to see if increasing dosages of sulfasalizine will enable me to take even less loperamide. Later I'll get blood tests to make sure the new drug isn't having negative effects that I don't notice. After all these years dealing with diarrhea, I'm so grateful my doc suggested I try this stuff!"


"Carafate worked miracles. I wasnt able to eat much while on it but it did stop the pain from my Ulcer.  I didn't realize it but it did make me constipated and I was really gassy which in turn caused pain but I would rather have gassy pain then the pain from the ulcer."


"I get bacterial vaginitis all the time because of my sugar. With taking this medicine I only suffered sore throat and a yeast infection. I have to take it for 14 days 2x a day. It does work just.... hate no drinking alcohol."


"Please think twice about this medication. I struggled with cystic acne from middle school until now (I'm 35).  I took Accutane and it cleared up my skin for several years. It does seem like a miracle pill and the results were impressive.  However, the side effects listed are REAL and can happen years after taking the medicine. It is not worth it.  I was diagnosed with colitis and that is way worse than having bad skin.  I wish I had never taken Accutane because now I will have to deal with stomach pain, bleeding, diarrhea and taking medication for the rest of my life."


"I have been taking this drug for a few months now. I had a severe accident at work so I have severe nerve pain and found that taking ambien helps me sleep at night, but it does sometimes like others have said make me forget what I did after I took it but I have lots of energy the next morning."


"I started this medication about a week ago and hate it. My mood changed drastically and this past weekend found myself very depressed and having severe anxiety!! I also have a thyroid condition and this does not mix well at all.

I am stopping this today. Did not work for me at all."


"I have been taking this BC for almost 4 years now. I am about 19, 5'3 and 115 pounds. I was put on these pills because I would have a really heavy and painful period, so not having my period is really awesome. However, once I started taking these pills, my bra cup size shot up. Granted, I was 14 when I started taking the pills, but I was about a B cup then I was a DD cup within a year. Also, the first three years I never experienced ANY acne. Except for the occasional pimple during exams or when I ate badly, I never broke out. Now, my face breaks out 24/7, all over and heals about a week before my next period, then the cycle starts all over again. These were great for a couple years, but maybe it's time for something new."


"Just transitioned from 60mg Paxil.  Went down 15 on Paxil, up 10 on Viibryd each week for four weeks.  No brain zaps.  Take with food in the morning.  Get a sleepy reaction for about two hours after taking it.

I get vivid dreams with this med.  No nightmares so far.  No diarrhea, but I'm constipated b/c I'm taking 450 mg Wellbutrin :(.

I like it a lot, very optimistic."


"My  first 4 days of 5mg am  and 5mg pm was horrible. OK I have IBS and have problems frequently. As soon as I started saphris I develop severe diarrhea with vomiting through the night, durring the day I am so cramped up (and having very nasty smelling burps) that I can't eat or take it anymore. I wish it could've worked to help me as it has seemed to help so many others. But after the first four days of that I was ready to call it quits. I started and stopped 2 other meds at the time I started taking the saphris, so its taken about 3 weeks figuring out that it was the culprit. If only I could have been warned or read a review of this happening to other people. nasty experience"


"first dose .75 of Trulicity is my last. Only able to work 1 day out of 8. Doctor really downplayed the side effects. Vomiting every day, can't eat (or keep down any food), diarrhea is consistency of water.
Absolutely a HATEFUL drug!"


"I was diagnosed relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis MS April 2016. August 2016 and February 2017 the MRI showed minimal activity. My neurologist advised me to start using Copaxone, 3 times a week - 40 mg.

I've been injecting myself without the auto injector and so far so good. I only inject in my belly and legs (in the evening).

When injecting in my belly I experience a burning/itchy feeling. This fades away after an hour. It's an awkward feeling but not a big deal.

When injecting my legs I experience stiffness of my leg muscle. After a few hours it is gone. The stiffness is a nuisance but not a big deal.

Next morning, no more itchy sensations or muscle stiffness. All gone.

Because I am only using it for 2 weeks I don't know if it helps but so far I am very happy"


"I have taken this medicine before and it made my Restless Legs Syndrome much worse. For over 25 years I have taken Percocet. I may have to back to that. I read some where that side effects can last for up to a year, I hope not."


"On third day started having hoarseness and cough , on and off. Became so bad have discontinued use. It did seem to calm my intestinal pain significantly. Still having hoarseness even after stopping."


"I have been on this medicine for 7 years and cannot imagine life without it.  It doesn't seem to work for everyone, but is a lifesaver for me.  I had a headache for 3 days when I started it and lost my appetite for a week.  After that it was fine.  I can get by on 200mg if I need to, but feel tired still most of the day (but won't fall asleep unless I want to).   My usual dose is 300mg which keeps me alert and I can't even take a nap if I want to."


"This pill does work girls !!! I took it right in time since I believe you have to take it within the 72 hour frame. It was expensive ( $50 ) but it was completely worth it! I did have a few side effects a few days after taking it like nausea and a few cramps. I started spotting brown before my normal period came . I was 2 days late on my period but it did come. Don't worry , as long as you take it in time and restrain from sexual intercourse while you wait for your next period & for the pill to do it's magic , the pill will be effective. Highly recommend this pill and it's effectiveness. I did learn my lesson though! Use protection ( condoms ) or birth control pills ladies."


"I hurt my knee and was given this for pain. Gives me a headache and doesn't real curb the pain."


"I have been using Epiduo for a couple of years and LOVE the results. Right around the time I turned 25, my skin absolutely flipped out with terrible hormonal acne around my chin/jawline area. Tiny bumps, cystic acne, you name it. My dermatologist put me on doxycyline for a month along with Epiduo gel applied morning/night. After everything cleared up and my doxycyline prescription finished, I was put on a regimen with Epiduo for nighttime application and Aczone for morning application. My dermatologist let me know that Epiduo is great for the small bumps associated with hormonal acne, and Aczone was prescribed to treat the cystic acne problem. This has in fact held true and I haven't had a breakout since."


"I have been on this pill for 3 months going in 4 and have had my ups and downs with it. The 1 month I experianced intense mood swings, I was crying and angry all the time and just wanted to be alone. The 2 month I was wondering why my acne wasn't going away but my moods had improved. Although I was experiencing breakthrough bleeding for 15  days I continued to take the pill. My period also brought cramps like no other. The 3 months I have been feeling sort of depressed but I think that's due to life not the pill. My breakthrough bleeding still occurred (some days light some days none) and my skin has improved. I lost weight on BeYaz. I am looking forward to what month 4 brings and hoping all of the negative symptoms are gone."


"I've had BED for 9mo., started off as anorexia and morphed into BE after 6 months. I'm of normal weight- should work out more, but one thing at a time. Nothing was helping the BE (SSRIs or Anxiety meds) I finally caved and tried Vyvanse- I was afraid because I had been on adderall before and it was too crazy- I'm on 20mg, had to get it approved but I'm glad I have it. I'm in therapy and hope this will be a good aid in my efforts. It definitely decreases my appetite, but I don't hate food like on adderall. I feel more productive, less empty euphoria than adderall, but still excessive sweating under arms during peak activation. Takes a 1-2 hours to kick in. Lasts only 6 hours for me, may up dosage later. It's a great tool-not a miracle :)"


"After one year of fairly significant ulcerative colitis symptoms, I began taking Lialda. It began working almost immediately. Within a week I started feeling like my old self again. The only changes I've noticed (unsure if they are side effects or new problems??) are tingling in my legs (like restless leg syndrome), sinus issues, sore throat and trouble falling asleep. "


"This drug ruined my life. It made me delusional, paranoid, aggressive, short tempered. As a result I lost my partner, my job and my house. Don't take it!"


"After an episode of erythema nodesum from my last birth control pills, my doctor suggested I try a 3 month course of Micronor to see how my body would react to the progesterone.  Well, I've gained 5lbs and had my period or spotting 27 out of the 42 days I've been taking it.

My doctor wants me to continue on it to prepare for an IUD, but honestly I don't want it if the breakthrough is going to be this problematic."


"I take generic Cymbalta and have for 2 years. One day it just sucked, I was like really down, depressed and living like a hermit. I have been taking 10 milligrams of Abilify on top of the cymbalta 60 milligrams and so far I actually feel normal for the first time in my life. I am now smiling and going out , looking forward to fresh air and conversation again. Thank you Abilify, I am now getting back to life."


"I am 17 and have been taking this since 8th grade. I was diagnosed because I would get into trouble all the time and when I first started taking it, it was great. I stopped getting into trouble and so on. Now, 4 years later I feel it is completely different. Rapid heart rate, anger, don't care mood, dizziness, but it still makes me focused. I'm tying to get off it, but making slow progression because I'm really ADHD, my friends concur. The crash after taking it for so long feels like dementia. I only take it on weekdays and could relate to insomnia because I getless than 30 hours of sleep a week. "


"I was just prescribed this yesterday. I'm starting at 20mg. After my first dose, I already feel better. I had a peaceful calm feeling. I've tried every ssri except for paxil and i think I've found the one. I switched from luvox. It was ok but felt like something else would be better. Especially because of luvox side effects. The other plus to celexa is I'm not hungry. I've gained 30lbs previously from zoloft. I've lost some since stopping. I'm hoping celexa continues to help with weight loss.

I've got a good feeling about this."


"Hands down the best birth control I've ever tried. I've been on it all this year and I have had zero side effects. No bloating, moodiness, break through bleeding etc. I take it at the same time everyday as it's recommended to do so. I just spot 2-3 days at the end of my cycle. Best part is that it's PANTYLINER light! Extremely happy that my gyno prescribed me this pill. I've been on the pill since I was 17, I'm 23 now, and have tried more than I care to remember. I intend on using Loestrin42Fe for years to come!"


"I feel better since switching to Klonopin."


"Thought I'd share my experience. I decided I had enough of the Depo shot gained 10lbs on it. It was my 2nd day of my period the day I got my Nexplanon inserted...only thing that hurt was the numbing shot. My arm is still tender but its getting better, my bruise is finally starting to lighten up. I've had no bleeding in fact my period went away within an hour of insertion. My breasts have actually filled out more. I have no appetite now and I've already lost 3lbs. No mood swings whatsoever...so far so good."


"I have been on Implanon since October of last year. I have gained just a little bit of weight, I'm on & off of my period about every other 2 weeks. But I AM NOT complaining about this birth control at all! I absolutely love it! I don't have to worry about taking a pill every single day at the right time. I actually recommend this but then again it depends on ones background in their health and what runs in their family as well. I've always been depressed and have had anxiety for awhile now but it's not stopping me and I surely don't freak out on my husband nor my children. I am able to control myself from that. But once again like I said I love this birth control!"


"My sister switched to this birth control after I had such a success with it. I haven't noticed any weight gain, in fact I have successfully lost weight on it after making some dietary changes. I get more emotional than usual the first day back on it after taking the 4th week off. Besides that, no complaints. So glad to find a birth control that works for me without any crazy side effects. Been over 2 years on it now. LOVE it."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I've been on Pradaxa now for about 2 months and love the convenience of not going for blood work almost every week.  Being able to eat anything is great too! The only problem I've experienced is excessive gas....never had that problem before and now it's constant. Keep hoping that the gas will diminish soon, can be embarrassing. Some slight difference in bleeding when scratched."


"This was my third round of TX, first two relapsed, so 24 weeks of Harvoni with 17 days left of meds and truly have no complaints. This TX is NOTHING like the previous two with side effects. I take medicine at bedtime with Melatonin 5mg to help sleep.  In the beginning I would notice a little upset stomach but crackers helped. I would have headache here and there but can't truly say it was from the medicine. At the end of the day, I honestly believe you must have positive attitude starting and not fixating of the neg that one may read. I pray daily the my EOT and post TX test still are undetectable, so I can bury this beast forever! Good luck to you all and focus on the end not the day to day!"


"2nd insertion...period was irregular but became very light...lost 10 lbs...the best BC...."


"I just started taking Vyvanse today and have already seen an outstanding improvement! I am an 18 year old mother that struggled throughout high school, not because of intelligence, but lack of motivation to complete things such as homework or projects. I failed quite a few classes and ended up having to take a second senior year. Since my daughter was born and I now have a house to clean and all other kinds of "mommy duties," I really found myself struggling. It was to the point of a failing relationship and disappointment to my family and my significant other. I was unable to just focus on a task and complete it. But today, I did everything I needed to do and then some and I feel great. Very pleased so far."


"The Nuvaring was perfect for me except for ONE thing- it caused me to have a yeast infection. I didn't know that I had an infection (my symptoms were one spot that was really itchy and fishy smelling discharge for about two-four days every month) and I left it untreated for months which caused it to be horrible (well, I don't know if the Nuvaring made it horrible or me leaving it untreated caused that). When I finally went to the GYNO I had to go off of it and immediately be put on yeast pills and I had to put a cream on twice a day for three weeks. It also caused me to have an increase in vaginal discharge so I just wore pantyliner everyday. Outside of those things, it was great. No acne, weight gain, mood swings, or nausea."


"I started Victoza about two months ago with Metformin and Glimepiride. Blood sugar was running close to 200 but is now 85 - 110. Side effects, nausea, loss of appetite, small helpings fill me up. This seems a small price to pay for the end results. Thank you."


"I am now on eighth year of Oyxcontin 40 mg twice daily. Though I have breakthrough pain whenever I am a bit too active or on my feet too long I never wanted to increase the dose because I can bear a certain amount of pain. Oxycontin is a wonder drug. Before that I was to the point that I thought my working life was over and it was time to go to the welfare office. "


"I've been using every day for five months and do not see any improvement.  I might as well be putting water on them."


"Update from 06/24/10 post! I have been on Adipex 37.5 for 2 weeks and 3 days now. I have lost a total of 13 pounds in this amount of time. The only problem I have been having are headaches so I am taking myself off this medicine for about 3 days. I'm still walking everyday, doing light weights, Zumba once a week and not taking the medicines on weekends. I do notice that I am a little hungrier when off the medicines, but I just find something to keep my mind off food. Like I'll get up and take a walk outside or go chat with a co-worker. I keep Graham crackers, fruits and water for snack, when I get the hunger feelings. Starting weight was 251lbs current is 238lbs. I will keep updating!"


"It made my whole body hurt specially my joints and my ankles"


"I like saphris but have experienced the nasty side effect of weight gain.  I had tried 4 other anti psychotics and all of them made me put on weight without relieving me of my bi polar symptoms.  I am staying on saphris because for the first time I feel normal. No more high highs or low lows.  However the increased appetite drives me nuts.  I literally obsess about food all day. I recently cut out all processed sugar to see if this helps. If anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it."


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"Calms me down and numbs the pain just a bit."


"I had few tablets tested before and that's why I know how to use them, but the problem with those tablets were that they gave me headaches but using levitra was amazing, for it has no side infects. What I did find was unusual is because you should NOT take it with food, you should take it empty stomach, if u had some thing to eat then wait for at least 3 to 4 hours before taking levitra tablet, once you took it wait for 15 to 20 minutes before action. So you can eat food after you take levitra table on empty stomach and it will work 100%"


"I was put on Zoloft by my doctor for panic attacks about sleeping/falling asleep after she felt I was too dependent on Clonazepam. This definitely worked for anxiety, however I gained around 30+ pounds in a little over a year and a half. I was still exercising regularly and eating normally. It started slowly and then one day none of my pants fit me anymore. The last straw was when I went to the doctor for my yearly check up and was 200 pounds. I weaned myself off of it, and almost immediately I felt less bloated. It has been a little over a week and I'm suffering terrible dizziness and headaches. I'm determined to never be on this crap again."


"1. Effectiveness time shortened after each pill.
2. Withdrawal effects after effectiveness caused desire to immediately take another.
3. Addiction seems highly likely after use for more than a few days."


"Was previously on lorazapam and switched to Valium in February. Since then I never felt relief and suffered every day from anxiety. It didn't matter if I took 2mg or 12mg I didn't feel better and in fact I felt more anxiety. A week ago I decided to stop it cold turkey and every day since I have felt 90% better. I'm going through some withdrawal like tinnitus and night time sweats but I wake up better and have been feeling happiness. I strongly recommend staying off any benzodiazepine and if you are going to take it, only for bad panic attacks. Never take them daily as they are very addictive and quite difficult to get off of. They say that benzos are more difficult to get off of than heroin. Try Gabapentin for anxiety."


"I began taking Tamiflu at about the 72 hr mark. They say this is borderline that it can help at this stage. I felt so bad (headache, body aches, hot/cold, cough) that the doctor decided to try it. After 2 doses, fever broke, aches are gone and only slight coughing. Still a little fatigued. Wasn't sure this would work... But I believe it now."


"Awful experience. Took Natazia for 5 days and became so depressed and anxious. I would start crying for no reason and have serious mood swings and feel very irritable/annoyed at everyone around me. My vision became very blurry and my eyes were more dry than normal (I have contact lenses). I was nauseous most days and felt very bloated. My migraines came back full force. I do not recommend this pill at all."


"I took this for one year i battled weight proplems for years within the year i took this i lost 120 lbs with the doc watching my blood pressure this stuff worked wonders .its been 3 years since i stopped now...my weight is coming back i eat well and excersice daily so i am getting back on this wonderful pill to get back on track. It works and it works well"


"I have been on Bydureon for 3 months now and have found it to be effective at lower my blood sugar and decreasing my appetite. The side effects, however, have caused me to discontinue using it per my doctor's instructions.  I have been experiencing systems likened to having a stomach virus, bloated stomach, nausea and diarrhea, about every third to fourth week of the month. The effects are bad enough that I have had to miss work. I haven't experienced any knots at the injection site, but my goodness that's a large needle that has to be used!"


"Used to take Z-pack for my Upper Respiratory problems.  But have been changed to Levofloxacin, and it doesn't seem to be doing any good."


"I've had Implanon for a little over a year and nothing but problems and heavy bleeding CONSTANTLY, since the 3rd week it was inserted. Maybe like 20 days all together have been off! But I will say one nice thing about it is, that you don't have to remember it each day or ever have to worry about changing it. "


"I started Adipex-P nine months ago and I've consistently lost weight. When I weighed in at the Dr.s today, I am down 20.6lbs since last month! I've lost a total of 83lbs and was approved for my left knee replacement on Nov 18. When that heals, we do the other one. I have battled obesity my whole life- had gastroplasty (stomach stapling) back in the early 80s and I've lost and gained hundred pounds during  time periods in my life and I've got hope now that there may be a light at the end of the Tunnel.  When I get my knee joints in and get active I think I really might be able to get down to a decent weight and make it stick. I'd like a second chance at life, to find a wife to spend my retirement years with. Staying Positive!"


"AM I ABOUT TO TELL YOU ALL A STORY. IT ENDS AWFULY. SO I was on this pill for 5 years. My face was fine, no acne, no issues. No birth control issues. i got on the pill because of my doctor, he told me to have this because my period was not regular and I had had it for years, so he figured this would help. I finished that treatment, and upon turning 20 I stopped taking it. No biggie right? YEAH. HUGE BIGGIE. Within 4-6 months, I didnt get my period at all. Ok thats fine, many times thats normal. MY FACE. MY POOR FACE. MY FACE EXPLODED INTO CYSTIC ACNE. I wanna say that I had been treated by my dermatologist to not have acne as I had bad acne when I was a teenager. I had to go back to him because my acne went from normal to cystic severe."


"I started taking Lexapro nearly two years ago after struggling with generalised and social anxiety for years. I have been taking 5mg consistently. Side effects were noticeable for the first week or so but now I get none at all. No sexual side effects whatsoever. In the time I've been taking it I've relocated to a new job and had a promotion, motivation through the roof. The negative thought patterns have disappeared."


"This medicine is a God-send! For years I struggled with restless legs, hypnic jerks and sciatic pain. It was torture. After one dose of Soma, the legs stopped hurting and jerking me awake every 45 minutes.  The dopamine agonists (Mirapex and Requip, which made me impossibly nauseated) were not a viable option.  Finally, my doctor said, "let's try Soma"; needless to say, the relief was instant and wondrous!  The torture is over!  The respite from the incessant twitching is nothing short of life changing.  I take 525mg just before bed and I am at peace.  Sweet, sweet peace!

PS: I only take it 30 minutes before bed."


"Female, 28 and have been on Strattera for 5 months and it has changed my life.
Went back to a college to finish my high-school degree, after having dropped out of high school in year 9 due to pure inability to focus. I was always in a daydream before this med. Motivation is increased 10x fold. I also had panic attack disorder with half a dozen panic attacks every day! About 3 weeks into this med and the anxiety lifted. Anxiety is 100% gone. No other med in my life has ever done that. Not even actual anxiety medications.
I'm more social. Have more energy and general satisfaction with life.
I am so happy with this medication and truly believe this is an absolute miracle medication. I think this medication is more for people who have ADHD-PI"


"I have been taking Harvoni 2 weeks. I am on the 8 week dose and so far it's a peace of cake. All I notice is a mild tummy upset and diarrhea but its nothing I cant put up with 8 weeks in order to be rid of Hep C. I will come back a month in and then at the end of my treatment to update."


"This is the second time I have been on Methadone for chronic back pain.  I weened myself off Methadone a couple years ago.  My condition has worsened and pain doctor's don't like to prescribe narcotics anymore.  I was in so much pain, and was on the verge of suicide, so my primary doctor called my pain doctor and asked him to prescribe Methadone.  This has been a lifesaver. Still in pain, but can function now."


"Been on it a week now. So far no bad symptoms at all."


"I've only taken 25mg Zoloft for a week and am scheduled to increase to 50mg in one more week. I had such a horrible reaction to three doses of Lexapro that my psychiatrist switched to Zoloft. An hour or two after taking the Zoloft, I feel calm, and then there is an uptick in my anxiety and I get fidgety and sometimes mildly panicky. I am also taking 0.5 to 1mg, Xanax per day, which we will ease off of once the Zoloft kicks in, and I have weekly visits with a good therapist. My anxiety ramped up to critical mass into a weather phobia (we're in KC), so springtime is a nightmare for me. I'm a gardener, so this disorder has sucked all the joy out of the thing I love to do most. I pray my experience is as positive as many I've read here."


"Easy  instructions,  one pill  and done.

No serious side effects,  maybe a little dizzy first hour along with minor  headache but went away by hour 2.  Minor cramps,  nothing like menstrual cramps.  Again very very minimal, does not interfere with daily activity... no need for pain killers.

Not sure how my menstrual flow will be affected but paying 49.99 for one pill (size of aspirin ) with  practically no side effects was a blessing."


"I'm 24 and have been taking Pristiq for about 6 weeks now. The first 3 weeks were hell. I went through horrible emotional spells. I would cry then get angry for no reason. I would just want to be left alone. My husband and my family were so worried about me. I wasn't myself at all, my mood changed so frequently. Now I am feeling balanced - I haven't had an anxiety attack for about 4 weeks now. I never thought I would get here. The only thing I am experiencing now is trouble sleeping but that's been going on a while, and a slight decrease in my sex drive. If that doesn't change in the next couple of weeks my doctor wants to put me on Wellbutrin, we'll see how that goes."


"Good medicine, had me cough free within 3 doses. Very low potential for abuse is always a good thing! As a medical professional this may be a great alternative to people who regularly get promethazine/codeine for cough."


"I have Pseudotumor Cerebri which means false tumor. It is like i have a large tumor in my head but I do not have the mass. I have everything else, high fluid pressure on the eyes, severe headaches. They are worst the migraines, which I have everyday. The patch relives that a lot. I have had 9 surgeries in the past 8 years. I have three shunts, 2 in my head and one on my spine. The one on my spine makes my lower back hurt. I have been dealing with this for 8 years since 2002. In 2009 I found out I also have Arnold Chiari malformation which means your brain is to big for your head and it falls down in your neck. Fentanyl 75mgs every 3 days has been a gift. The only thing I do not like is 48 hours after I change my patch I get in pain again."


"I was originally prescribed Amitriptyline for pain prevention.  I found Amitriptyline to be sedative even on very low doses (5mg). I adjusted to each increase in dose, however I had to stop at 15mg per day as it was too sedative and causing me to be  light sleeper.  I went back down to 5mg a day for a couple of months.  However the medicine wasn't helping much with the pain.  I've since been prescribed Nortriptyline."


"I have had my mirena for about a week and a half and I love it. Not having to rememeber the pill is 1000000% better.

However, the insertion process was very painful. I have never had a child before which also makes its very uncomfortable. When she touched the back wall of my uterus it was literally one of the most uncomfortable painful cramps ever. It only took about 2 minutes though. After the procedure I had extreme and intense cramping for 5 hours after. the next 5 days I had on and of cramps that were uncomfortable but tolerable. I highly recommend the mirena iud because it is effective and a bit of pain for five years of protection is completely worth it. Don't let the pain keep your from getting this amazing form of birth control!"


"After many long frustrating attempts by many people to open the blasted bottle, I read another review that said to turn it upside down and push with all your might, so I turned it upside down, pushed the cap *into* the neck of the bottle and squeezed the bottle so hard I worried it might burst, and it *Finally* opened. Then I was afraid to close it, worried that I wouldn't be able to reproduce the miraculous feat of opening it. This is NOT a 'childproof' cap. This IS the medicine bottle equivelence of Fort Knox. The effort wasted on trying to get it open is unreasonable. Shame on Bayer. As a physician, I used to recommend Afrin for nasal congestion. Not anymore."


"it works in association with my anti-depressant to bring about a well rounded me, but it is there to take when my panic attacks hit, it quickly takes effect and calms me."


"With Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, acute urinary retention is possible, and I self-catheterise an average of twice a day for that reason. This makes urinary infections more likely, and previously, I used to get infections requiring antibiotics. Since taking these morning and night, I have had no further problems. Even if my urine turns cloudy, it seems to clear itself very quickly. Cranberry concentrate works very well for me."


"At the end of week three I was down 10 pounds without changing my eating habits. Worse side effect is constipation but it has gotten better. I find that I eat less, I put thought into what I eat and I have made healthier choices. My mood has been better and I feel more balanced than I used to so that is a plus. I'm going to try a low fat diet and see what happens,"


"This was the WORST medication I've ever used for a yeast infection. I'm usually prescribed the diflucan or fluconazole, which are wonderful and fast treatments. After missing my doctors appointment I decided to try this for the first time. After an hour of insertion, it burned so severely and drained on and off all night. Even days after I still felt so much discomfort so I went back to the doctors to get the diflucan. I'm ok now."


"First, let me start off by saying that I did not know which category to choose, as this medication has helped me with several (OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, antenatal depression, claustrophobia, agoraphobia, social anxiety, and GAD.) For years, I debated and even fought the idea of taking medicine. After many years of struggling from a host of debilitating mental illnesses, I vowed if I was brave enough to try SSRI's, that I would come back and write about my experience in hopes that this post could at help at least one individual. At first, my antenatal depression and anxiety got so much worse, and I pretty much experienced every side effect in the book (yes, even the scary ones). I cannot even believe how amazing I feel just 8 weeks later!"


"I am 16 years old. I have been having a sweating problem since I was 12 years old. I would sweat day and night. I would wake up with huge sweat drenched shirts, go take a shower throw a new shirt on and in under 30 minutes. I got a brand new drenched shirt. I am a very social person, I go to a lot of parties, meet a lot of people, even play sports but something always holds me back from going to some parties or going to some places because of this bad sweating problem I have. I would wear different zipper hoodies to hide my sweating problem, wear almost all black shirts, to hide the very embarrassing problem. The very first night I got this medicine, my whole life changed. I am sweat free, and can wear any color I want."


"I started taking this pill two years ago and a few months after I started it I wanted out. I noticed I was gaining weight very fast and was breaking out with acne on my back. I tried everything for the weight gain figuring it might have been eating habits and the fact that I'm in my 20s now and my body is changing but nothing helped!! I gained about 20 pounds in the past 2 years and have finally had enough and made my gyno switch me to something else (she also insisted it was my eating habits and not the pill numerous times which is why I stayed on it for so long) my friend was also on the same pill for years and gained even more than I did."


"This is perfect for sleep at 7.5 or less. Get to sleep easily, with no worrisome thoughts before bed. I was taking it for depression after a no-go with Prozac. I couldn't handle the fatigue at therapeutic dose and now I use Wellbutrin XL 300 in morning and Remeron 7.5 at bed. I take the wellbutrin at 6am then go back to bed. When I get up at 8, I already have a lift from the Wellbutrin, one cup of coffee and absolutely no fatigue. Happy, less anxious, lost a few pounds and no sexual problems. I love this combination, and don't feel a need to change or add anything. I am curious how a higher dose of Remeron would be now, but I would hate to lose the fabulous sleep effect I get now. I am guaranteed to sleep within 30 mins. Great meds!"


"I was a 2 pack a day smoker for 40 years - hopelessly addicted - UNTIL CHANTIX. Incredible - I had none of the listed side effects and only went through 4 weeks of treatment. I started Chantix 1 week before quitting and NEVER had another cigarette after I quit the first day. This is a miracle drug and should be offered for free to anyone trying to quit."


"My experience with this implant at first was awful. I bled for the first 4 months every other day. But then miraculously I stopped bleeding and now for the next 2 years and 8 months I wont have to worry about getting pregnant. "


"This is my 3rd day on contrave and the side effects are what are worrying me. Severe nausea comes and goes throughout the day. Sometimes it gets so bad I can't even get up and move around. I have also had sporadic hot flashes and excessive sweating. The worst side effect I saw it was on the first and second day hello when I would have terrible drowsiness to the point where I had to hold my eyelids open just stay alert and aware of my surroundings. I'm not going to stop taking the medication but I'm worried because my doctor prescribed for me to increase a pill each week until I am on 4 pills a day. I'm a female, 25 years old, 5'3 & weigh 253lbs. Is this too intense of an increase? Suggestions are appreciated."


"As a not-so-active 54 year old male who is a non-smoker and relatively light social drinker, my T level had dropped to a pathetic 120.  I had no mojo for anything and my doctor commented out load how she wondered how I got out of bed in the morning.  After 3 years of Axiron therapy (underarm application) I am at a very comfortable 900.  I feel so much better and while my marriage did not survive this condition, my girlfriend is enjoying the benefits of this replacement therapy.  It works for me (and my woman!)."


"The Nuvaring is the only birth control that has been able to stop my (terrible) breakthrough bleeding. On the regular pill, I was grateful to have eight or nine days without spotting; it was a miracle. I wore a tampon or liner everyday of the month, month after month, year after year, in fear of having breakthrough bleeding. I've been on at least six different pills with different hormone levels, and other than weight gain and depression, the pill had no effect on me. The NuvaRing has completely stopped the breakthrough bleeding. I've been on it for a year and never once had any breakthrough (after more than 10 years of it). I had no weight gain or mood swings, and never even notice it in there. I am so grateful for it."


"I can't remember the exact dose but it was low. It Caused insomnia (4 hours sleep a night), feelings of giddiness and weight loss (14lb/1 stone) which was a positive for me. Because of the insomnia I came off it and was put on 25g Amitriptyline. With this medication I have 9 - 10 hours sleep, dry mouth and a HUGE increase in appetite for sugar and carbs. But my depression seems to be a bit elevated."


"This medicine has changed my life as a student and a person."


"I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 2 months. I took this medication because I had extremely painful periods. I was practically bed-ridden for 2-3 days every month. While the medication did help my pain go away, I bled... A LOT! My period itself was 4 days longer than usual and I spotted for a week and a half before having another full-size period. It was ridiculous. My doctor kept telling me "Spotting is normal. Spotting will go away. It should stop soon." But I'm telling you it was a lot of blood. I could constantly feel myself bleeding and it often times came out in clots. Not worth it in the end for me."


"I started taking this medicine 4 months ago for my nerve pain in low dose of 10 mg twice a day and maybe a bit for depression. It does not help at all for the pain but it does help to fall asleep faster and for my mood."


"This medication makes me extremely tired and causes headaches but it seems to be working where other antibiotic treatments have failed to cure my infection. If you are able to tolerate the side effects it's has been a pretty good therapy for me."


"I have been on this for 2 weeks and it has saved my life. I started to feel much better after only 4 days, racing thoughts were gone - the only side effect is nausea, and loss of appetite which is ok. I also take lithium (am weaning off after 10 yrs on) and Paxil 40 mg. I wish I had been on this years ago."


"I was on topamax for a month and lost 6lbs. I could handle the tingling in my hands and feet but I stopped taking it because my period never stopped!  It started the day after my first dose and ended three days after I stopped taking topamax. I do have the birth control Implanon implanted in my arm. So maybe those drugs combined doesn't work well. I still had migraines but they weren't intense."


"The Tessalon didn't work at all. Coughing all night!"


"Took the depo shot for the first time earlier this year. Completely changed me my personality and my body. I break out easily I bleed all the time . I spot all the time! Made me bi polar and just overall horrible. When will it wear off?! When will I get my normal period and be back to normal?! I've been off 3 months now."


"I can say that the only positive effect about this pill is that it prevented pregnancy. As long as I ate right before or after taking the pill I would not get nauseated. My periods never became lighter and I still had cramps. I did not develop acne or notice any weight gain, however. The reason why I stopped taking this pill was because I had overwhelming mood swings and depression. I also noticed a decrease in my sex drive."


"I am taking the second cycle now. In general, I'm happy with my experience so far and I'll keep taking it. Negative sides. During the first week, I felt sick to my stomach all the time and I was supertired, but it went away. During the third week, I had mood swings and felt depressed, but I always feel this way a week before my period, so it was normal to me. Also my boobs became larger and it's a little painful to touch them, but that's okay. Positive sides. It feels really good not to worry about becoming pregnant. My sex drive is the same or even increased, weight is the same, appetite doesn't seem to increase. Period is less heavy, skin is better, acne is disappearing."


"Hi I had the paragrad for 7 years it was awesome ! It didint hurt getting it in or the removal I loved it I did cramp when I excersied and sex was sometimes pain full certain positions and the only real annoying thins was the discharge out of no where but and a big but it was great no weaight gain No acne nothing no mood swings but I started having cyst in my ovaries and the iud wasint the cause but it wasint helping either so I had it removed but had I not had a cyst I would still have it "


"I work retail at a large home improvement company. Most of the day it works fine, but a lot of times I have to do heavy lifting. It does not help with that. I have had to on numerous occasions stop and take a break just to get through the day."


"I have been on Pristiq (50 mg) for about four months to treat depression. I feel better and have more energy, but some side-effects I've encountered concern me. When I missed a dose, it sounded like fireworks were going off in my head. I could hear "zaps" and felt dizzy and nauseated. I didn't connect it to the medication, though, so I stayed in bed the next day, unmedicated, and the symptoms got worse. I was able to see the physician's assistant who prescribed phenergan and valium. I'm now a little worried about going off Pristiq. I never felt like this on Paxil or Effexor."


"I hate this thing. When I first got it, I read all the horror stories and bad reviews and was very nervous. I had a friend who had the nexplanon though and she had a fantastic experience so I thought I'd take the risk and get it. Worst decision ever. Little would I know the next 15 months would consist of ridiculous bleeding, headaches, cramps, heat flashes, and COUNTLESS embarrassing moments. I'm 19 and have bled through so much clothing, stuffing toilet paper in my underwear in public as if I was just learning how to deal with a period, and more. I do not recommend this at ALL. I guess the only positive thing I can say is that I'm not pregnant "


"Moderately effective in relief of symptoms and does not make me drowsy, allowing normal activity."


"I fly often but this last trip I woke up the next day with dizziness anytime I lowered my head.  Difficult since I work on the computer all day and meet with clients so I am up and down all day.  My doctor prescribed it 3 times a day and that is fine as I am on the 5th day and still get dizzy.  I wake up a lot at night feeling like I have to relieve my kidney's.  This is more often then before I took meclizine HCL.  I do have dry mouth but no real side effects. "


"I've just been given this for my asthma as I'm struggling to breathe. So far my nose and head hurts and don't feel like it is working. I'm only on my 2nd dose and every review so far I've read says it works within a few hours. I can't tell if I'm having a reaction to it or not.. but it definitely isn't working. I can't walk from my room to my bathroom without keeling over and not being able to breathe."


"I had breast reduction surgery so I was prescribed tramadol for pain it didn't do much for pain at all but really cleared my head up and helped me get through the day. After I ran out I talked to my doctor we tried other anxiety meds before she agreed to prescribe tramadol, so I've been taking it for 4 months now 100mg a day and last Saturday I ran out and don't get a refill till April. The withdrawal is insanely bad I feel like I'm sick I can't lay still, falling asleep is a nightmare, I feel angered, no energy, I don't know what to do but I'm thinking to stop taking tramadol I can't go through the withdrawals again:/ some people say there is no withdrawal symptoms but I think it's for people who take it couple of times a week."


"I was taking 4mg of Xanax almost daily for about a year. I tried to quit cold turkey by being off of them for about 4 days straight and when day 5 hit me I thought I was going to die. I couldn't sleep for the 4 days I didn't have it, constant pacing around the house, twitches like crazy and had to get some ASAP as I was out. It has been over a month now and I am slowly coming off of the Xanax. I am down to about 1mg every 2 days or so and I haven't had any additional medications. It can be done but you have to prepare yourself for it mentally and tell yourself you CAN do it. I have quit in the past and regret ever picking up the bottle again. "


"Started taking the tablets on 10/27/2015
Weighing in at 328 I'm 22 years old female 5'7
Within one month I'm now down to 305.
My Dr switched the pills from the tablets to capsules don't really know the difference but the capsules seem to work a little stronger.
Work out 3x's a week or whenever I can as I work behind a computer screen all day everyday.
So far I'm loving this medication!"


"Like most people on this thread I've gained weight and thought it was from the holidays and vacations. I've been dieting and working out and the scale has only gone up. I had to switch to this brand bc my other one was discontinued. It's NOT THE SAME! The pharmacy told me it is.... it's not. I'm just realizing this now! Calling my Dr. on Monday to get off this horribleness! I really gave this brand a shot. It's been 3 months and my clothes don't fit me. I'm so upset!"


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


"I started Belviq mid-May 2015 at about 234 lbs, and in the first month lost 7 pounds (eating 1500-2000 calories per day depending on the day). In the second month I lost 4 (again eating a similar diet). In the last month I have lost another 4 (same thing). Although this is good progress, I'm not sure it is worth the cost to continue. In the beginning there was some feeling of fullness more quickly when eating but that has diminished over time. I'm considering going off of it soon because I'd like to get pregnant. Also, at the 3-month mark, I'm right at the 5% recommended loss. Overall I don't feel like the drug is good or bad; I think it really depends on the individual."


"Received first Depo shot in September 2015 began constant bleeding right after. The bleeding varies from light most of the time & sometimes heavy almost like a regular period. It is now April 28, 2016 & I am STILL bleeding. I never recieved second shot. I'm in touch with my doctors who are deciding what to do.

 I've read I may have to have a DNC which I do not like. I already have pre-cancer cells on my cervix & have to have regular biopsies to monitor it but since the bleeding I have not been able to do any of that. I DO NOT recommend this shot to anyone. The risk & complications for is greater than benefits in my opinion. Try another birth control.

*Depo should be taken off the market*"

"I'm an ex IV heroin user.  Vivitrol is a great way to deal with cravings I've never been happier."


"Feb 2016 I was diagnosed HIV+ with VL 8000000/CD4 700.  Was immediately put on Stribild which I was able to tolerate but never felt well.  I thought am I always going to have the feeling of not feeling well all the time.   My first follow up May 2016 VL 90 did not get CD4 count on first follow up.  My second follow up Sept 2016 VL 80/CD4 800.  I started Genvoya on my second follow up and after a week I feel a lot better.  I don't have the unending feeling of not feeling well.  I actually feel better then I have in a long time.  I actually feel like doing stuff now.  Like when I started Stribild I have a sour taste on my tongue but hopefully it will go away like it did on Stribild.  So far I am glad I made the switch. Time will tell."


"Been on this med for about 4 years and YES it helps with weight gain.... bad thing is....NEVER stop taking... the withdrawals are terrible!!! But otherwise this works great for my anxiety disorder."


"I started my injections on the 22nd of July,  2017.  I am at the .06%
I give the injections daily at the same time in my upper left or right thigh. No adverse reactions from injection location or medication to date.
The first week I lost 5lbs. I will weigh in tomorrow for the second week.
To date my appetite has been diminished.
I feel fuller quicker. I have more energy and it is not reacting adversely with my other medications.

I will say however, I am concerned about the long term effects, but then I must admit there is a trade off with being obese as well and the long term side effects.
So which is better?  Loose the weight through an artificial means versus continuing to remain obese?"


"Heavy drinker for 25 years (vodka)...but somehow functioning...until last week - couldn't even move my move was shaking so bad, Thanks for a friend, got to urgent care and now after five days of Librium, and support groups, I feel human again. Thank God, and thank Librium."


"Probably the worst drug i've seen for anxiety."


"I smoked for 25 years, sometimes heavy sometimes only 8-10 a day.  I tried everything gum, patches, fake cig, zyban, welbutrin and even tried cold turkey.  Nothing worked!  Then along came this wonderful little pill.  The first week I noticed the cravings gone, on week 10 now and have only smoked a couple of times when I was drinking and even then it tasted awful.  I do experience some side effects like 'bad' nausea for about 1 hour after taking the pill."


"I've been bleeding for a year and a half consistently. I just don't know if I can take it out without causing more bleeding. Absolutely do not suggest."


"I take metformin (1000 twice a day) and have been on Invokana 300 for 3.5 months. In the first two months on Invokana, lost 14 lbs and A1C dropped from 10.5 to 7.1. In the last 6 weeks, lost another 8 lbs (now under 200 lbs for the first time in years) and can't wait to see my next A1C! Haven't had any of the serious side effects described by others, no yeast infections. Definitely thirsty and frequent urination but absolutely worth it for the weight loss and the way I'm feeling. My appetite has decreased and my energy level has significantly increased. I swam 11 miles this week! This medication has completely changed my life and I appreciate the 12 months of free medication coupon."


"First of all I just started my full dose of 150mg twice a day. Dilantin I was allergic, Keppra made me not myself, Lamictal almost killed me.  So far this is working well, I feel much more like myself and my wife has told me it's nice to have her husband back. The price even with insurance is insane. But I'm two weeks from driving and just want something that works. So far so good!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Lemon wedges!! It really work to suck on/lick a lemon wedge in between drinks of this nasty stuff. But, if you didn't do that and you vomited it up - get Miralax for the 2nd dose (if you wasted the first). That's what I ended up doing but the 2nd dose of Suprep went down much easier when I went slower, sucked on the lemon, and used a straw."


"Into my second year on this and very pleased. The first two months adjusting were definitely a bit tough: nausea, headache, breast tenderness, bizarre acne. I stuck it out and very glad I did! After those two months, zero side effects. No period, no weight gain, nausea, cramps, or breast tenderness... Nothing! In fact, I'm 37 & I've lost 20 lbs while on it. And most importantly, it's been effective in preventing pregnancy!"


"I was prescribed this medicine after not being able to lose weight even with a strict diet and exercise. I have Polycystic Ovarion Syndrome and Hashimotos which both make it very difficult to lose weight and/or causes weight gain. My doctor gave it to me the first week of June and as of August 12, 2015 I have began losing weight easily. I have lost a total of 17 pounds while dieting and exercising. The main side effects I have are nausea almost daily within fifteen minutes of taking the two daily doses. The nausea usually subsides within an hour but the nausea is what makes the thought or sight of food unappetizing. I rarely have an appetite but have hot flashes and insomnia but doesn't compare to the benefits weight loss and feeling good."


"I really liked this birth control. I only experienced light acne about a week before my period, no cramps, stomach pain, or any other period symptoms. My period always came the day I started the brown iron pills. They were so light most of the time I never even used a pad or anything. I haven't used a tampon since I went on the medicine. I ended up going on Yaz because my mom thinks I should have a heavier period and that it's not healthy even though my cycle is regular. Overall this pill is great."


"I've been applying Jublia on four infected nails for almost two months now and so far there's been no noticeable improvement. I plan to continue with the treatment for the recommended period in hopes it will work at some point."


"I really like this BC overall. I have PMDD, and my anxiety has decreased dramatically, along with my panic attacks and other events that were associated with the PMDD. However, the only downside is that my sex drive has decreased quite a bit. I have noticed a slight increase in ingrown hairs on my face as well, but my doctor told me both side effects were not uncommon. I have had to consider this against taking my BC as I am married, however, I have decided to continue on because it overall makes me feel better and is very effective."


"I have severe RLS that is a problem during the day as well as night time.  I take Mirapex 0.25 mg twice a day, which greatly increases my comfort levels and the ability to hold relatively still.  Note:  I am confined to a wheelchair, with idiopathic polyneuropathy, along with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (and numerous additional diagnoses), and currently take 29 other prescription medicines, so I am unable to comment on side effects.  I have tried other drugs for RLS, including Lyrica, Klonopin, Neurontin, and clonidine.  For me, Mirapex and Lyrica relieve RLS far better than the others."


"I have had nothing but a great experience on this contraception. I've been on it for 20 years with no side effects. The pill was too cumbersome for me as I would forget or take late so the depo was the alternative. I have never had a period when on it and will stay on it for that reason alone."


"I've been on Deplin for about a year and it has helped me drastically. I was originally diagnosed with bipolar and later, through blood tests, found out my bipolar was related to a condition known as MTHFR. I am compound heterogenized meaning I have one of each genetic markers which contributes so a multitude of diseases including mental disorders and circulatory conditions because I do not metabolize Folate/folic acid. I was on Lithium for 2 years (with horrible side effects on minimal doses) and since being on 30mg of Deplin plus 5000mcg Methyl B12 I've been taken off the Lithium completely and have normal mood changes."


"OH. MY. GOD. I am no stranger to yeast infections, I have been getting them since I was 2 months old (I'm more prone when on an antibiotic). I had some cream, it wasn't really working. Being a teen, I tell my mom we go to our local CVS and buy their brand of Miconazole Nitrate Insert. My FIRST time EVER using an insert. I put it in at 12:00am just before bed. I wake up at 3:00am, feeling like my vagina is on FIRE, the intensity so bad I'm sobbing and cannot stand still. Glad to see many others on here who say it will subside. My mother kept saying I need the medicine, but it's not worth the pain so I rinsed my vagina and may need to again. I'm definitely calling my doctor in the morning. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT."


"I was on Lupron for 6 months back in 09. The side effect weren't bad for me at first but I have to say the night sweats were the worst! I just hated waking up in the middle of the night, needing to shower because I was so sweaty. However, I was pain free! I had an AWESOME summer and went camping, mountain biking, traveling. My pain has slowly come back over the years and my (new) doctor just gave me my first shot of Lupron yesterday. I am hoping it works just as well as it did the first time. I want to be me again."


"I was prescribed 3mg a day but don't want to take that much so I am trying hard to tapper to 2mg I am at 2.25mg. I still sometimes feel a little bit of anxiety not real bad but catch myself starting to get in my head and then I will breath and talk myself out of my head but why can't the medicine just keep me out of my head all the time. I never had any anxiety or panic disorder, I have always had manageable obsessive compulsive disorder. Will I ever feel like me again? I know if I am not careful I would  become home bound and just sit and waste. I have a young daughter and it is not fair for her. The Klonopin does work but I feel like I can feel it wear off or that it is coming time for my next dose, or is that all in my crazy head."


"About 3 years ago I was on Lexapro 10mg, then I was off. Then about 9 months ago I was on Lexapro 10mg again then up to 20mg but my libido pretty much became non existent. I had weight gain, I tried working out but it didn't help the problem. It worked with my anxiety but after a while I felt like it was wearing off and I was becoming accustomed. I had lost my job and had no insurance so I couldn't afford my Lexapro, so I was cut off up until about 3 days ago. The withdrawals were INSANE, I had so many attacks and brain zaps I really wanted to crash my car into incoming traffic, I would have my mom come pick me up while I would park on the side of the road."


"I’m 40 and I’ve had about two gout attacks a year for the last 4 years. They have all been on my left big toe although currently this one is in my left heel. When I get a flare up there is no stopping it. Not indocin, naproxen, prednisone nothing! I take Allopurinol daily. Note* I just started taking Allopurinol this year and I felt like it was helping me. I made it to November. But here I am all over again. I’m am 6ft 245lb. I do exercise quite a bit. Have a active lifestyle. I’ve worked with my primary physician, podiatrist and now I’m being referred to a Rheumatologist. Hope they have some new ideas. I have  Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) from work for this, but I’m on my 7th day with this and it’s not getting better. I still worry about missing work. Stressed over here! "


"I got the Monistat 7 and got through 2 treatments before I stopped using it. The 1st treatment  I slept through the night but woke up The next day super itchy and my back door was burning. I thought that the itching was from the medicine leaking all out. I wanted to put more in since the box says it is supposed to relieve itching but I waited. That night the itching was gone so I thought the medicine was working. Boy was I wrong. Used 2nd dose and woke up 3 hours later itchy, burning and needing to pee really bad. It hurt to pee, which hadn't happened for a couple of days. The itching and burning was so bad I couldn't fall back asleep. After 2 hours I looked up reviews, immediately washed it out and used an ice pack. CAUTION ANYONE FROM USING!"


"Started the pills and was excited because I needed help with regularity and cramps. I ended up getting hormonal cysts that were so painful. One was almost as big as a dime on my chin and we had to push it out, yuck. My lips on my face also swelled up. Funny, but not really. I was switched onto another pill mainly because of the lips swelling."


"Great for backache."


"Safe for weekly consumption?  One tablet 0.5mg per day."


"Reduced initial pain extremely fast. 3 days later had mildly loose stools, slightly crampy stomach."


"methotrexate  made me sick for days after taking it.  I was on it off and on for 7 years and in different ways and all made me sick.  If ur not in school or have kids ya its cool it kinda works if u don't have ra bad but if in school or have kids DONT TAKE....."


"It is awful. It made me nervous and anxious and made me shake. It did quite the opposite of what its meant to for me."


"I have been taking Lyza for a month. I had to switched out of the Ortho Tri-Cyclen combo pill because it gave me headaches. I noticed that I have more of an appetite when taking Lyza. I have not gain much weight because I have a high metabolism along with working out. My face seems to have cleared up. The only negative thing I would have to say is that since it is an progestin only pill, it is important to take it right on time. It has a lower hormonal dosage than combo pills."


"I started taking Zoloft about 6 wks ago, at first it was ok was feeling a bit better,  then I was increased to 50 Mg's? Horrifying panic attacks, extremely fatigued, weak. The only thing getting me thru is knowing it's not me it is the med. I actually felt worse than before I started"


"I've been on Nuvaring for four months and don't plan on going off. I tried the pill, but I have a severe reaction to lactose which all birth control pills contain. It made me bleed constantly and bloat and just feel sad all the time. With this I have none of those symptoms, so I already love it for that. I don't have to remember a pill. I used to have 5 day heavy periods every six weeks. Now they're two days, light enough for a liner, and every nine weeks. I'm not gaining weight or bloating. My moods have been stable until I take the ring out for my 'period' but that's normal PMS for me. Sex drive may be decreased but that suits my husband better anyway. It's defintely not gone completely! It's never fell out. I love it."


"Best thing I have ever had to help with my allergies just love it."


"I have been on Yasmin for 2 days and I have already experienced very noticeable weight loss and headaches and nausea. Yasmin was recommended to me by my doctor to help ease my pains that I had, everyday, every 2 hours I had horrible cramps that would prevent me from any physical activity. I will continue this packet to be able to determine the outcome of time..."


"I would sleep walk. Example: once I woke up putting on my tennis shoes to ho some where but I don't remember where. Another time I slept walk to my mother's room tonuse the bathroom though I was just in bed in my room that has a restroom.
Talking in my sleep.Example: I sat up in bed as my husband was getting ready for work and asked him about going on our vacation but he said I was very irritated.
Other times its just random thoughts or comments."


"I hate Lithium.  It ruined my life and my body in short amount of time."


"Had Kyleena in for 4 months and I am getting it taken out in 2 days. I have constant cramps and my bleeding is random, long, and heavy. I will get sharp pain to the point where I can't move or stand up. I can't have sex because it hurts so bad. My boyfriend says that he can feel the strings. Insertion hurt but that was expected and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The first month and a half was great but now it is just getting worse instead of better. I really wanted this to work because I hate taking the pill and I am sensitive to estrogen but I have to say I like the pill better."


"I work nights and need the sleep during the day. I no longer feel like a Zombie as I am getting some solid sleep."


"I prefer the initial pain of application than the pain in my spine, hip, and legs. Be careful going out in the sun, even the day after application some residual effects will be felt. Wear latex or plastic gloves when applying and wash your hands after applying. If you touch a part of your body that has capzasin on it, be sure to rewash your hands and DO NOT touch your eyes without washing your hands!"


"Last night was amazing! I have always been able to achieve a sufficient erection for penetration but I would lose it fast during intercourse . It would come back here and there sometimes. Last night I took (1) 10mg dissolveable tablet and we took a shower. When we got out I went into a massage on her and immediately became erect. It stayed rock hard through foreplay and intercourse. (intercourse lasted much longer as well!) I was able to completely relax and enjoy myself with 110% confidence in the performance. My wife and I both enjoyed the best sexual experience of our lives and I don't know why I didn't do this years ago!"


"worked great for me after a severe car accident. broken ribs, broken pelvic bone, ruptured spleen, and everything else i wont go into"


"I have been on this pill for a month and half now. I have experienced an increase in my eating, I have been getting dizzy for a few minutes, and a rash of whitish pimples on my chest and on my forearm that I have never had before. I haven't experienced any bleeding or any period at all which is good because my periods were pretty bad. I just hope these side effects go away."


"Pharmacy switched my BCP from Gildess Fe 1/20 to Blisovi.  I've gained 10+ lbs in less than 2 months!!! My life style has always been the same - watch what I eat and workout daily.  But I was not able to control my body weight.  I would NOT recommend this pill to anyone."


"On day 8 of 10. Avelox has made me extremely tired, fatigued, dizzy and feel strange all day. Occasionally nauseous. I really don't like taking pills, especially these with all of possible scary side effects. I must say that my mucus is gone and hopefully stays. So, I guess you can say this works."


"I've been on this medication for a week and I know what your thinking skip this review but DON'T!!!! I've always had bad acne and while I've already seen it improve my acne (I turn 25 next month) the side effects are NOT worth it. It's made me experience suicidal ideation off and on since beginning it, it's made me paranoid about a lot of things and people, I've been so nauseous constantly that I've already lost three pounds, my appetite is so suppressed that I can't even force myself to eat three times a day. I've been having intense anger outburst which is not like me AT ALL. This is me after six days on 40mg. I love that it's clearing my face but I can not justify a medication that makes me want to kill myself. This has been a terrible!"


"Took care of the pain, but made it hard to stay awake!"


"When I got the Skyla inserted,  I was in excruciating pain.  After the insertion,  I was cramping so bad and the pain was so bad,  I could not stop crying.  I sat in a comfortable room with a recliner until the pain subsided.  For the first month or so,  I felt so dizzy like I had vertigo. I was getting really bad migraines especially at night. Now two months later,  I don't feel dizzy nor have headaches but I constantly feel pain on my ovaries.  When the did the ultrasound,  the found a cyst on one of my ovaries.  I've been on birth control pills for 12 years and have never felt this pain or pressure before.  I hurt almost everyday. I'm thinking about getting the IUD removed.  I think my body is rejecting it."


"While I feel like every single person reacts differently to different birth controls, I'd still like to show that for me in particular, Lo Loestrin Fe worked absolutely beautifully. The first few months were a little rough, as expected for a first time birth control user. The only hard part in these two months was that my periods were very heavy and longer than usual; about 7 days as opposed to the normal 4. After my "transition months" I've completely stopped getting periods or any bleeding for the past 4 months now, and it has been great. I have no mood swings, acne, weight gain, headaches, nausea, etc. This being said, everyone reacts differently. Personally, I'm in love with everything except for the price ($250/mo) which is why I have to switch."


"I used nearing for about 5 weeks. I loved it for the first 2 weeks then my guy started to notice a big change in my moods. I was very depressed , anxious and I cried all the time..not to mention the lack of libido sucks. My friends also noticed a big change in my moods.. I took stopped using it a few hours ago and I feel a bit calmer already...."


"I am 21 years old and don't have any children. I have had the Mirena in for almost 2 years and at first I loved it, however I have had a few problems with it. I gained about 25 lbs, I am moody, not a very healthy appetite, no motivation for anything sometimes that included sex, but the past few months I have had nothing but stomach pain (scale of 1-10 about 8). It is very consistent and is there every day. I will be getting it taken out."


"Safyral has been a great birth control pill for me. I lost water weight from my previous birth control plus some, skin is clear, no unusual mood swings. My only complaints about it is from 2 days before my period until 3 days into it is I get a bit of stomach bloat and my left ankle tends to get sore and swollen when on my feet too long. Sometimes I crave sweets at certain times of the month. The pill is more expensive, but a great birth control pill. I highly recommend it."


"I never write reviews but I decided to share my experience with everyone on this birth control. I was so freaked out when I got this birth control because I saw all of these horrible reviews, depression, weight gain etc. I have had nothing but an amazing experience on this. I have been happier, my weight is finally staying in one range and not fluctuating, I even lost a few pounds (nothing serious but it did not make me gain). It has really been amazing and I think that if the reviews scare you, just try it. You can always switch. I was terrified but everyone has a different body and reacts differently. You never know, this might be the best thing for you."


"Totally works every time. Gets rid of almost all restlessness and agitation."


"I was put on atenolol, 50 mg daily, 27 years ago. Prior to that I also suffered debilitating migraines almost daily for many years. The atenolol controlled the BP and, in a complete surprise, eliminated the migraines.  In the following years, my doctor switched me to a newer BP medicine and the migraines returned. When I went back to atenolol the migraines went away. Atenolol has been one of the very best things ever to happen to me in terms of health."


"My "Dry Eye" problem (lack of oil in my eyelid oil glands, used to stop eye's tears from drying out) has now turned into a raging Bacterial eye infection and spread to my sinuses.  Doctor started me on Doxycycline 20 MG twice daily but no improvement after 3 days; He then upped dosage to 50 MG twice daily several days ago and the inflamation in my bloodshot eyes and sinuses major congestion starting to get slowly better.  Not wanting to compromise potency, I eat no food, etc. for 2 hours before and after pills.  I'm drinking 2-4 glasses of water with pills and that has alleviated earlier nausea. I'm pleased so far but only half way to recovery."


"Prozac feels like poison being put in your body"


"I took chantix for 2 weeks. The first couple of days were ok, though I felt a little edgy and short tempered. By the 6th day I had a bad case of "no filter". I said whatever I was thinking no matter how rude it happened to be, ( I work at a Hospice House). It just came out. By the 8th day I didn't feel like I was ready to quit but I did really grumpy and argumentative.  It just didn't work for me."


"I've been taking Mononessa for about a week now, so my opinion probably doesn't mean much yet. My period was still bad the first day or two, but then it got very light, to wear I barely felt like I was even on it. I do get the "sick to my stomach" feeling a little in the evenings, but it's not terrible and I haven't thrown up. Yesterday and today I have had a constant headache, which I'm assuming is coming from the pills becsude I don't get frequent headaches. I had a little bit of breakouts on my chin, and it has gone away already, but that could also be attributed to just the fact that pimples go away with time. I haven't had sex yet, so I'm not sure about whether or not my intimate relationship will change."


"I was given Lyrica for my fibromyalgia in 2007. No relief, but gained 30 pounds in 3 months and continued gaining until it reached 55 pounds! I've lost less than 10 pounds, hard weight to lose so be aware."


"I was very grateful to read everyone's feedback, as it helped alleviate some of my concerns.
I took my first prep at 5:00 pm after an all day liquid diet ( no prep prior to day one and a very regular food rich week with a heavy dinner day before prep)
The taste was not great, but not terrible. Tasted sweet and a bit like cough medicine. I pinched my nose and drank the mixture in about 2 minutes, followed by the 2 cups of water within the next 20 minutes.
I had absolutely no movement until 5:00am the following morning. Light rumblings, but no cramps. Was on and off the toilet till 7:30.
At 8:00 am I had my 2nd dose. Tasted much worse than the first. More salty. I got it down fast followed by 2 cups of water and apple juice. Worked immediately"


"My daughter was switched from Azurette (no side effects) to Viorelle, by the pharmacy. She's miserable. Periods are still unstable, the breakouts have stopped but thats the only plus! Her periods last forever, she's always exhausted, looks like a zombie half the time, got sick with a cough and took a month to kick it, has NO energy, NO strength, gaining weight, Horrible headaches and period cramps. After reading the other problems ladies have had with this pill she will be STOPPING IT! Thanks ladies for coming on here to tell your stories!"


"I was placed on 150mg x2 a day Wellbutrin & 0.5mg Klonopin X 2 a day. Wellbutrin gave me the initial energy I needed to stay awake. At one point I didn't have enough Klonopin to get me through so I cut my dosage in 1/2 for the Klonopin to 0.5mg. Wellbutrin was overpowering it made me too hyperactive and made my anxiety rage so I stopped taking it and it helped calm me down. My depression disappeared and my anxiety leveled out. Since, I%u2019ve been back on 0.5mg x 2 a day, extra as needed and stayed off the Wellbutrin. The depression hasn't come back yet. If I forget to take Klonopin for more than a day I start losing my thoughts mid-sentence and I forget everything that I%u2019m trying to say. Then my anxiety comes back and I%u2019m a mess until I take it."


"Excedrin is the only thing that works for my tension headaches. I haven't used anything else since I found Excedrin!"


"My Pressure was about 220 over 130 when the doctor's office sent me to the ER. I had had Lisonipril before and had lost a lot of weight so it was under control without medication. I Gained the weight back and with it the blood pressure problem.I can say for certain most of the complaints on this drug are "dose related". If your light headed and feel like you're tired you need a lesser dose. HIgh Blood pressure, versus low blood pressure, will make you feel bad or feel like garbage. Feeling great with hIgh BP is not good, is merely you got used to a different pressure.  Others complaining are attributing side effects to other diseases like infections or other things. My pressure is reduced to 150/82 effectively."


"I have used this twice for constipation in pregnancy, and it works! I am quite small, so I only take about 20ml and still had quick relief.

I have also found that it helps with indigestion pain."


"I have been taking this medicine for about a year and a half and it works wonders but I have concerns my body is getting addicted to it. Is this possible??"


"Chronic ankle, knee and hip problems.  Normally don't take anything but needed something to help with pain relief while on a trip.  They didn't work for me at all...really annoying."


"As far as Birth Control goes, well I'm not pregnant yet (and I don't use alternate protection) so I'd say it works well in that aspect so I gave it a 6. However, I have had severe nausea, headaches (on the verge of migraines), and slight bloating. I have also been seriously tired all the time, I fall asleep all the time, anywhere, anytime, without control. I never had a problem staying awake for even a couple days without sleep until I started taking Apri. "


"I started the birth control shot in 2013 the day before my 20th birthday.  To say the least, it was a terrible decision.

The shot was great in some ways. I did not have a period the entire time I was on the shot (3 months) and through my 1st month on the pill after. My periods were always irregular though. It was also nice to be free from worry about contraception.

The bad overwhelmed the good though. The first week that I was on the shot I had bad headaches. Not migraines, but they were painful. I spotted lightly halfway through the 1st month and continued for 2 weeks.  At 3 weeks, I became horrifyingly depressed. I wouldn't have survived if I hadn't known that it would likely be better once I stopped the shot."


"My psychiatrist initially prescribed Nuvigil to enable me to be alert and awake during the day.  I suffer from bad insomnia and I'm being treated for major depressive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder.  I'd taken Provigil in the past and it seemed to help with depression.  Yesterday I overslept and decided not to take my Provigil fearing it would keep me awake even longer than usual.  That was a huge mistake, I became horribly, morbidly, depressed.  I didn't make that mistake this morning, I took my Nuvigil as usual and my (worse than usual) depression is gone.  I haven't experienced any side effects but I wish Nuvigil would enable me to lose weight like it does many people.  I was on Abilify for a few months and gained several lbs."


"I come from  longggg longggg line of a very overweight family. Besides one cousin I'm the only one that never became morbidly obese, but I've found I've severely struggled since my 20's to keep weight off, especially because I binge eat, & I even sleep walk & binge when I do ! It's like your brain just doesn't seem to register that your full. My stomach can be really growling after I've had an entire pizza pie to myself ! Last week I did this until I was sick to my stomach. The next day what do I do? I just get up and eat more pizza! This particular behavior seems to run in my family. My doctor finally put me on Vyvanse 30mg starting. 2 days in. Feeling overall more alert, and not food obsessed completely...so not sure yetttttt."


"Geodon has been working great. I take 20mg twice a day along with Xanax.  My psyciatrist calls this a mood stabilizer and it has done me wonders.  When I get sad and depressed I bounce back pretty good. This is a life saver for me."


"Brilliant - Tried all the usual sleeping tablets with no success. This works for me 99% of the time. I've accidentally forgotten to take it a couple of times without realising until the next day and the difference is very noticeable."


"I have only been taking Celexa 20mg for about a week.  My only complaint is that it makes me EXTREMELY drowsy like a Zombie and slight stomach cramps so I started taking it at night and I am considering cutting the tablet in half.  However, I have had depression for most of my adult life and like others I was against medication but I could not take it any longer.  I do feel a slight improvement I am not numb anymore but I think I need to give it more time to get the full effect."


"Within 2 weeks Xeljanz was working amazingly for my rheumatoid arthritis.  But had to stop after 8 weeks because of complete insomnia and depression/anxiety.  This drug brought on depression, insomnia, and anxiety so hard and so quickly.  I just could not continue.  This had the same effect on me as prednisone.  My system cannot tolerate that either.  Too bad because both work so well for the arthritis.  Luckily these side effects have gone away after stopping the medicine"


"I've been taking it for 5 months.  After 6 weeks on 10 mg my lymphedema arm got infected & real swollen--I was told it was shingles & Lyme disease.  After 2 rounds of antibiotics I went back on 5 mg.  My subsequent scans show liver mets decreasing.  My insurance cap was exceeded after 1 month($$$), but I qualified for a Novartis program for free medicines--check it out.  Side effects on 10 mg were intense--like chemo.  5 mg is much more tolerable, still I must take Protonix every day for gastric upset.  And I get really itchy."


"I've had Paragard for 6 months now and it's great. I got off Seasonique, so it was an adjustment going back to periods every month, but worth it. (Plus, I started using one of those cups and it makes life so much easier for me!) Honestly, my main concern on the pill was that I had pretty much no desire for sex and everything "down there" felt so dried up. I wanted to get off hormones, too, for all those risks, but truly, sex was the main factor. Also worth it. :)

My gyno was really good. She had me take Misoprostol before hand and 800 mg ibuprofen. The insertion was quick but yes, painful. She had me keep taking the pills the next month, then did a follow up with ultrasound to check on things.

This is free now with insurance!"


"I was on this birth control for about a year and I don't know why I waited so long to get off of it. I had cyctic acne all over my face (I used to never break out before this pill) and I lost 20 pounds. I'm not a big girl in the first place but this pill got me down to 90 pounds because of the severe nausea. Also, I was moody the entire time I was on it. Went on ortho tri Cyclen and it saved my life."


"I have aspergers and ADD and started taking strattera when I was about 9 or 10. And in just two months I lost over 20 kg (44 pounds) I was so skinny but I didn't change because I had tried everything else and this was the smallest side effects I had so far. But after I quit just over a month ago (I'm 17 now) I realized that the medication had caused me to have severe depression for all my childhood, I'm really happy for the first time in forever. and the medication had made me more angry and restless than when not taking them."


"I take 25mg in the morning and at night it really helps the anxiety slowy but surely I'm coping alot better"


"Xanax has helped me so much for my depression and panic attacks. Even has helped a lot with my obsessive compulsive disorder. I don't have nearly as many compulsions since I've started taking it."


"I've been on the patch for about two weeks and I guess it works, no baby, and rarely any symptoms, the first couple days I became depressed and slept a few hours but I didn't think anything of it. My one complaint is that I work out often so I'm constantly taking showers and sweating so the edges of the patch are always coming up. My doctor said to just tape them but it worries me. I'm going to try placing it on a less moisture prone area."


"I was TERRIFIED to take this because I've had bad experiences with hormonal birth control pills. I took the pill last night with a meal, 24 hours after unprotected sex. I did wake up an hour after with some nausea- but honestly it wasn't that bad. This morning still a little nausea I am tired and slight abdominal discomfort but I wouldn't notice it if I was so worried about the side effects. Don't be afraid to take it! A few days of discomfort beats 9 months of it! So let's hope it works!"


"I have been addicted to any kind of pain pills since I was in high school. It all started with a football injury. I'm not blaming anyone or anything for my dependence of pain pills. At my worst I was snorting 13-15 30mg Roxies a day. I've been taking Suboxone for 4 months now and it has totally saved my life. I started Suboxone and ever since I have been clean and happy. I can finally start my life again. I strongly urge anyone with a opiate dependence to seek out Suboxone , it will help you!"


"Good Experience overall. More motivated less depressed and no side effects. I take 30mg. You have to take it with food otherwise you'd get nausea."


"succeededin improving EF by 60 per cent"


"I don't normally review products I've used, but I made sure to share my experience with Mirvaso. I am 20 and have had extreme redness for about 12 years now. I finally went to the dermatologist who then recommended mirvaso. I used it for about four days. The first day seemed to take away the redness completely. Thrilled, I continued use and it went downhill quickly. After the 6-8 hours of clear skin was up, it flared up way worse than it was before. I stopped using it but still see splotches of intense red all over. DO NOT USE. Waste of time."


"I felt like I needed to get rid of all the toxins in my system because I had eaten fast food a lot lately. So last night I drank an entire bottle of MC cherry flavor. It taste like an extra strong cherry jolly rancher lol. But after like 2 hours i had my first BM literally shot out liquid. The next morning same deal. And now at 6:30 Eastern time I'm pooping again lol. Not as bad though and didn't last as long. I recommend this for constipation, detoxing"


"Am one hour into my first 15mg dose.  Have been shuffling, having stiffness in my knee and pain for about 6 weeks now.  I may be overly hopeful but I swear I am moving better than I have in weeks. Fingers crossed."


"Took this for pain relief for a urinary tract infection - took about an hour and a half to kick in for my first pill but after that I took it every 4 1/2 hrs because I had bad pressure and burning that kept coming back. Usually I have no symptoms on this but more recently when I took it I have had nausea, blurred vision, really bad sweats. But nothing serious that would make me stop taking the pill."


"I have been taking Opana 30mg since last month and it is a very effective drug.  It has given me relief that lasts, usually 12 to 18 hours, which is something that my Vicodin 10 had stopped doing.  Occasionally I will take one and for maybe an hour or two I will feel relief and then NOTHING, usually I will go back and take another one and it will work.  I read somewhere that sometimes they go directly through your system without working.  What I really like about the medication is that I am mobile, upright and able to go about my day without feeling drugged and cloudy.  The only downside is the cost, 20 pills were $220.00 and 56 were almost $600.  Currently, I have a $40. co-pay on insurance, but soon my insurance will be terminated."


"I was diagnosed in late August 2010, with a CD4 of 130 and a viral load of 136,000, Candida and Kaposi's sarcoma. I began taking Atripla in early September and for a few nights I was a bit dizzy if I got up in the early hours & had some very vivid dreams & minor aches/pains. No nausea. Now, I get the occasional vivid dream - nothing to worry or complain about. In only 6 weeks my viral load went undetectable and CD4 rose to 240. Candida was treated and went and KS has so far faded by approximately 80%. Fantastic medication that produces extraordinary, life-saving results."


"I was on morphine for 4 1/2 years. I could not eat, sleep or do much of anything. Almost 3 years ago I asked my pain management doctor to help me out of that living hell. 10 days into rehab the doctors could not find a medication that could help with my pain issues. That's the first time I ever heard of Suboxone. I stayed for 18 more days learning all I could about this new medication. Let me just say that Suboxone helps with my pain and is giving me my life back one day at a time. I thank my doctors and Suboxone for all that it has given me. I found a Suboxone group and counseling in my area that understands my need to stay on this medication. I have been off all other pain medicines for 3 years and would not change a thing. "


"I have been on Zyprexa for over a month and feel wonderful.  It has helped my depression, sleep and paranoia.  The only thing I hate is the weight gain.  I have gained 20-30 pounds already and is a huge battle.  Already was 160 after having first child.  Definitely would recommend though."


"Was diagnosed in Feb 2008 and started Atripla the beginning of 2009. Experienced fatigue and lightheaded the first week but has been undetectable every since. Great medicine, doctors want to take me off because of their own personal issues and experiences but I refuse. "


"Excellent results in the first try; removing years of disappointments.  As a diabetic, the use of needles is not new but I was unsure of this location and possible errors.  It was easy, accurate and without side effects."


"This is the only migraine medicine that consistently gets rid of my migraines. I've tried Zomig, Imitrex, and many others - but Maxalt gets it gone in 15-30 minutes and I'm back, up and ready to get back into life. I can even take one at work and just rest my eyes at my desk until it kicks in. Never could do that before."


"My 6 year old grandson has been on Focalin for 2 months.  We noticed an immediate behavior change in that he has so much more focused in school, less outbursts and getting daily "Perfect Day" behavior charts.  He is so much happier now and although we are still watching, we haven't seen any side effects."


"I had the paragard inserted around May 2015 after I had my first child on March 27th, I was attracted to the thought of it being hormone free and that I would hopefully have far fewer negative side effects that I had had thru years of trying different versions of the pill. Insertion was not bad at all for me, a tiny bit of cramping and then the worst of that was the cramping became a bit more severe when I got home and into the next day. It has stayed in place but that is honestly the only good thing I can say about it. I have never been one to have very heavy/irregular  periods or heavy cramping and since I have gotten paragard I have had the most irregular, heavy periods of my life and the cramping has been unbearable at times."
