"After years of trying everything from self  medication to prescription drugs, Celexa has proven to be the best (for me). My marriage has been saved and countless friendships as well. I have no side effects on this medication and I love that. I have tried countless others and they either had terrible side effects or just did not work at all. I'm not a bit sorry I tried it, and will stay on it, as I am tired of not feeling like a whole person without it."


"I love this pill. I was on Loestrin 24 for my first pill and I was so moody! My doctor switched me to Natazia and I have had no side effects! I know pills are different for everyone but this pill has really changed my view on birth control. Periods are still 3-5 days and moderate bleeding/cramping but no nausea or breast tenderness. Also comes with a Bayer savings card."


"I've been having my Mirena for about four months now. I had to get it because I'm anemic and I had gone to the hospital because I was losing so much blood and they told me it might have been a miscarriage. So since I got the Mirena I've been so happy I don't bleed as much and I don't have really bad cramps and migraines anymore so yes I would recommend this to anyone."


"I have been taking Brintellix for about 2 months, after my Lexapro stopped working.  The first day after taking Brintellix, I was nauseous.  I stayed nauseous for 2 weeks.  Now that the nausea has worn off....I LOVE this medication!  I feel less calm, more happy and things don't get on my nerves as badly.  Just try to tough out the nausea for 2-3 weeks.  It gets better.  After that, you'll love it.  I highly recommend Brintellix!!"


"Just in my first week of taking Celexa 20 mg for depression and mood swings. I have had a terrible headache since I took the first dose, very nauseous, and this yawning - gagging thing is worrying me, but mood wise I can already tell a difference. I hope it continues to work well."

"My birth defect had shut down my bladder to the extent of not being able to urinate. Long story short,I had an infection so bad my bladder was 3x the normal size. So seeing how I couldn't go,it my body decided that it will send everything back out the way it came. If my wife didn't make me goto the hospital,my bladder would have exploded,they gave me a shot of this medication and it stop the vomiting in minutes. Well I am better and have a prescription for this,and have to self Cath because of the damage to my bladder. If I can't go backwards in time,I would have listen to my wife instead of being a procrastinator."


"Finacea has worked great for my skin - it is the ONLY product that has taken anyway mostly all of the redness (cutting dairy out of my diet also helped immensely). I now do not wear any makeup other than mascara and a tinted moisturizer for SPF protection. Only thing is - the drug company is making this product almost impossible to afford. $275 every month? I know I certainly can't afford that. My dermo gave me a coupon for the first 10 bottles to be $175 but that is still killing me. I do not know how much longer I can reasonably buy it."


"I have been on the Savella now for about 2 weeks and minus the chills some and hot flashes I think its actually working for the fatigue and fogginess. After recently going through radiation treatments for breast cancer, between the radiation and fibromyalgia my energy was so low I didn't think I would ever get out of bed again. But, like I said right now I'm thinking it's working miracles because I have more energy than I've had in years and pray it keeps working."


"Gave me heart palpitations from the time I took it until I stopped. It did significantly relieve my symptoms but the side effects were just too much."


"I had this in for about two months, at which point I started experiencing horrible headaches. I had a migraine once, too. This happened for about a week straight. That combined with the almost constant fatigue (two naps a day sometimes) made me decide to take it out. It also killed my sex drive, but I kind of expected that."


"I have struggled with depression and anxiety for some time, now. I was initially worried that the stimulating effects would exacerbate my anxiety, and it did--but only temporarily. Wellbutrin XL 300mg has been the ONLY antidepressant that has worked. I take it in combination with Effexor XR 75mg. I was taken off Wellbutrin in an attempt to switch to Effexor only, but it became quickly apparent that Wellbutrin controlled most of the depressive symptoms. I stopped it for 2 months--both of which were awful. Within a week of resuming Wellbutrin, my depression began to lift. I still have bad days, of course, but the effects of Wellbutrin make me more energized and ready to take on the world."


"I was honestly writing for the last 30 mins while having an attack and I had taken one of my pills and I'm now sitting here "fine" ... also the page got closed and deleted all that I had been writing but it was probably for the better because I was honestly crying my heart out .."


"Have been taking 10mg three times a day, mostly when anxious and panicky for 6 yrs. No side effects."


"I was in a car accident and my neck/shoulder was extremely painful. I don't like doctors, but after 3 weeks I gave in a went to urgent care.  I don't take medicines and have always done the alternative or holistic remedies.  Not knowing anything about drugs, he gave me this script for Skelaxin with some samples to try before filling the script.  I have only taken 1 tablet at night for the last 3 days.  I noticed today I can move better.  Everything that has been hurting feels better.  What's more, there is no side effect.  I just found out from my research tonight that this is a muscle relaxer.  This stuff is a wonder drug.  I feel so much better and don't feel like a zombie."


"I'm a transwoman who after 2+ years on estradiol was taken off it "cold turkey" after having a mini-stroke. The hospital doctors figured that the estradiol had contributed to my mini-stroke and took me off it rather abruptly. Within a week of quitting the estradiol I started having terrible hot flashes that would last 15-20 minutes followed by icy cold spells that lasted  5-10 minutes , I was fairly certain I was dying ! My ob/gyn  prescribed Gabapentin 100 mg capsules once a day and within 2 weeks most of the hot flashes subsided. Now I get hot flashes once or twice a day rather than four to six times, I have to say my quality of life has improved considerably !"


"I have been on birth control for about 5 years but I had to switch brands due to Yaz being discontinued. I tried another brand at the beginning of the year with no luck. I've been taking Trinessa for 2 months and I has been awful! I haven't gotten pregnant which is a good thing but the side effects are extreme. I have gained about 5 lbs and I am bloated. I have had very bad cramps; they are so bad that my back even hurts. I have always suffered from migraines and they have been controlled but within the last week they have been awful. I am going to see my gyno next week to explore some other options. "


"Really very good medicine, recommend to all who have pandemic cancer."


"I have daily anxiety and was on Ativan for a while and while I loved the Ativan I was looking for something longer acting - my psychiatrist tried me on Xanax XR 0.05mg. For me, this medicine is a God send. In the beginning when I first starting taking it I did notice some slight dizziness and 'weird' feelings but I stuck with it and once it regulated in my system (about 3-4 weeks) I feel totally normal and calm on it with zero side effects. I have since upped my dose to the 1mg Xanax XR twice daily if I need it, but some days I only take one pill to get me through the day and deal with the anxiety at night since I'm home and then take a pill in the morning like normal. My advice would be to start it on the lowest dose and work your way up."


"I found this page and everything clicked just two days too late. While my cough went away, the first night I woken up with severe cramping and the worst diarrhea of my life and was unable to hold food down for 12 hours. Then I took the medicine the next night and woke up to constant severe cramping to the point of skipping all my meals and popping pepto until the 12 hour mark when I was able to hold down a bagel. Thank god I searched this tonight because I was about to take it again!! It is not expired but rather a painful fast track to a cleanse. Never touching again."


"I have suffered depression, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety for as long as I can remember. It has effected so many areas of my life, and this medication really has been a god send. I have also tried Xanax, though while effective, it is a short acting benzo with nasty withdrawal effects. Diazepam is much more gentle, and I've never experienced any adverse side effects. Unfortunately here in the UK it's practically impossible to get prescribed which makes the Internet the only option of obtaining. Why, I don't know since drugs like alcohol cause far more problems. It's a shame as I think responsible adults should be able to choose their win medication and what works for them. SSRI's certainly don't for me."


"It stopped my PACs  (Preatrial contractions ). I was on this med for 13 years.  Over three years ago I started having increased muscle weakness, episodes of collapsing or falling without knowing why or even a warning that I was going to fall, extremely dry eyes (OTC eye drops were ineffective), severe muscle spasms, back pain, increased diarrhea, swelling in hands and feet, and pinpoint red spots on my skin.  I looked up the side effects of this med and I had 24 of the adverse effects!!  I had become so weak that I had to use 2 walking sticks, could hardly get in or out of bed, couldn't walk a 100 ft.  I quit taking this med which I thoroughly believe was killing me. I have begun to feel much better regaining some of my muscle strength and have less back pain."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"What a great drug!  No side effects, vl undetectable, CD4 count 1159.  I was on Atripla for a period of time but couldn't handle the side effects.  Rashes, forgetfulness, horrible dreams, not being able to sleep, feeling like I was crawling out of my skin, etc.  My doctor immediately took me off of Atripla and put me on Genvoya, absolutely no problems since then.  I highly recommend this drug."


"Used with my throat cancer and it helped numb my throat to be able to eat. I lost 200 pounds but this helped me survive and be able to eat most foods... Soft ones anyway... I know opioids are a bitch but without these I would have died of starvation"


"The sex was great but after that day, a terrible week was ahead. I have groin ache for 2 days and it is still continuing."


"So a week ago my boyfriend and I were having sex we went two rounds and he had on a condom the second round the condom broke and I told him to let me up and he did so. He said it wasn't any Precum  inside the condom but me being cautious I didn't believe him. The next morning around 8 o'oclock I went to CVS and bought a $50 plan b and one bottle of smart water. I ate and went to sleep, the symptoms are HORRIBLE but atleast you know the pill is working. I could barely finish my food , fatigue , nausea was the worst part for me. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night running to the bathroom having diarrhea and throwing up at the same time. And this morning the same thing happened. my period is on"


"My experience with this pill is 50/50...I love only having my period every 3 months but I spotted for months when I started, have lots of headaches, my breasts are bigger and I gained weight."


"I have had panic disorder since I was about 6. It came and went and has caused me severe avoidance issues throughout my life.  I have been taking Paxil for about 8 years and it has worked wonders. It has been awesome...until recently.  Within the last 4 months, it just seems to have quit working well. I am having severe attacks from time to time, but I am starting to avoid things/situations.  It did make me gain about 30 pounds. I tend to clench my jaws and I startle easily, but those are the only side effect I notice. My family and close friends say I am much more of a pleasure to be around while I am on it.  I am not a mean person nor have anger issues, but I am just not so anxious and uptight."


"Evidently my restless legs syndrome is worse than most.  I take 1 Mirapex ER, but sometimes I need to take another.  I am much better off with the medicine.  I could not sleep without it."


"I have not experienced side effects with Elavil and it has really helped to keep my Inerstitial Cystitis in check.  I am so thankful for it."


Pinworm Infection (Enterobius vermicularis)

"Tastes like cake batter... not as bad as other medicines... works as long as you wash & thoroughly clean your house for several days after treatment as well as treat your ENTIRE family even if you think they have it or not!"


"Been suffering from depression most of my life. I've been on Zoloft and Lexapro. I would change when one seemed to stop working so went to Prozac. BIG mistake. See the side effects? I had almost every one of them. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong till my wife showed them the side effects. Almost died Lost 25# in about 3 weeks. Will never go back to it but who knows it might work for you just didn't for me"


"I have been taking this drug for 3 months now. Here is a list of my reactions: Night sweats
 wake up different times throughout the morning.
 My stomach always feel bloated.
 I wake up with horrible smelly belches in the morning.
Always have stinky breath. I brush my teeth 3 times a day, drink lemon water which does help.
I feel very dry constantly. One thing that has truly helped me is drinking plenty of cold water.
Fatigue
Tension in my extremities
The meds promote weight loss and controls my sugar"


"I'm so happy I found this because it makes so much sense now. I've taken a couple different brand birth controls since I was 18. I am now 26 and started Estryalla this year when my insurance changed. I used to think I'm just moodier (if that's a word) cause for all sorts of reasons. However after reading these reviews I now know it could be from these pills. My boyfriend has been telling me all along its the pills but I didn't believe him. I would definitely change from this current bc because it's not what I expected. I also have break through bleeding with this and heavier/longer periods."


"Took 3 pill an hour ago. Rev condensed dose is 1-3. I have not left the bathroom. It say gentle overnight relief on the box. Should say painful relief in 20 minutes. I am regretting taking the 3. I have a feeling I will be up all night.  Works amazing. But please be careful with how many you take. The stomCh cramps only happen before you need to go and during but are over after. Completely detox and cleans you system worth it!"


"The best medicine to combat obsessive thinking.  I have NO IDEA why the price has skyrocketed the past few years."


"I really like trazodone. It helps me sleep and makes me feel more like getting up the next day instead of wanting to stay in bed. There have been a few times however that I took 100 mgs instead of 50 and it made me so faint/lightheaded that I had to lay down in the floor where I was at. I couldn't make it to the bed. 100 mgs doesn't always do that but there have been 3 or 4 times that it did."


"Celebrex allows me to go day to day almost pain free. Nothing else fights my pain caused by osteoarthritis of the upper spine.  I have taken 200 mg once a day on and off for over 15 years. Occasionally I do need to take it daily for a few weeks. I am so grateful for this med and for the doctors who prescribe it. I strongly recommend it."


"I honestly LOVE Implanon! I am a worry wort and not worrying with the monthly pregnancy scare has been fabulous. I have mood swings (but I've always been hormonal). I almost chickened out after reading online reviews but I'm glad I didn't. No weight gain. No acne. Slight bleeding. Highly recommended by me. "


"I took this for one day. Had panic attacks, and even worse, inability to urinate until it cleared my system. Also I have memory gaps from the day I was on it. I'd rather be anxious.

"


"I have always been prone to YIs, but this is the worst experience I've had thus far. I've never experienced the burning and itching with treatment. It's always felt better as soon as I began treatment. I was actually worried that something else was wrong and wondering if I should start asking my boyfriend some questions. Glad I read these reviews before I got too worked up! Lol!
Sheesh! The burning and itching is pretty bad and I'm only on night 2. I'm very uncomfortable, but hopefully it will subside as I get further into the treatment."


"I have taken this for 5 years. I have no symptoms at all with this pill. I have tried two others before I started Tri Nessa and had terrible side effects. This pill has been great with no migraines or weight gain."


"I've been using this product from Sept. 2013. I've had it in when I was 18. Today, I finally got the implanon taken out of me! I'm still not pregnant which is the big deal here so the contaceptive did it's job and I'm happy with that! The reason why I didn't leave it in there for another year is due to weight gain. I was always hungry! I have gained about 20kg in 2 years period. At my lowest 68kg and now 84kg...  I'm 170cm but it's still horrible! I tried to lose weight while on the implanon but it was proved impossible. I would even gain weight even if I didn't eat anything! It was crazy.  Everything else was relatively ok!"


"I was only on this birth control for a day and almost fainted. I took it with plenty of food but after about 6 hours I started sweating really bad, my vision started going, and couldn't hear anything. Was really scary. I'm now on Provera 10 mg twice a day for heavy bleeding - it hasn't affected me at all and has actually put me in a better mood than usual."


"This is the first type of contraception I have ever used, I was debating for ages what I should go for. I didn't really want something that stopped my period as I just don't feel its right on my body and I am happy with that.
I haven't noticed any major changes to my body which is good, although I had a major breakout during my first month on the patch (my GP said that should calm down after a few months). My emotions and appetite is always on a high so I can't say the patch has really brought that on at all or anymore."


"I am so happy to find these reviews. I originally tried Loestrin 24 a few years ago and it was great! However, I went to back school and could not afford it anymore. I started using it again a few months ago. I felt tired all of the time and never had any energy. I would always get really bloated, experienced symptoms of pregnancy. My mom was even convinced I was pregnant due to my symptoms, breast tenderness, but I decided to stay on this pill because I now have short periods. Can wear pantyliner when on my cycle and cramps only the 1st day of my cycle. However, I have been a nutbasket, my moods are all over the place, I am always angry, sad, crying for no reason, argumentative. I couldn't figure out why."


"I have been using this epiduo gel since 2012 until now. This gel is effective in clearing out the acne. Yes it may cause your skin redness itchy dryness. This past few days my skin is very dry. But i know that this gel is effective so im still using it. Half of my face is already clearing out. Some pimple marks. The other half need patience to be able to clear as well."


"For 8 years I have suffered from anxiety and depression, and this last year I began having debilitating panic attacks, most often while driving. I was very much against the idea of taking medicine as I thought I could heal myself. When things hit rock bottom I decided I had nothing left to lose. I started 10mg four days ago and it is the best decision I have ever made for myself. Day one was a bit strange and had one major panic attack, but since then have had zero anxiety or panic and zero side effects. I even went for a joy ride today in my car, because now I can drive without fear! Please please seek help if you're struggling, my only regret is not starting this medicine sooner."


"I've been using Ortho Evra for almost 2 years, so far so good! I didn't get any of the initial side effects. The only thing its changed is some months my period is very light and I have less cramping. I have gained about 15lbs recently but that is probably due to my poor diet, or a combination of the two. Since this is the first major weight gain I've had since I was 16. (23 now).
The cost is only $30 per box and that's without insurance, so I will continue with the patch."


"Implanon has been good to me. I first put it in in 2005 and then again in 2008. I took it out in February 2009 and got pregnant by May 2009! I put it in again when my daughter was about six weeks old and have had no major issues with it in terms of the regularity of my periods, skin breakouts, mood swings and stuff."


"Did NOT work for me.  Used it for 30 days.  I was hoarse the whole time, and during the 25-30th day had developed thrush (which I got rid of by using salt water gargles).  I've had asthma reaction to the historic pollen levels in Atlanta (2010) all through the pollen season (March through to the end of May)."


"If you've had itching for more than a day or two or it's really severe, use a longer treatment. I've had success with a one day treatment. There is some burning that occurs but I didn't find it intolerable like some of the other reviews stated."


"Was on Paxil for 2 years and felt it wasn't working anymore and I was becoming depressed again and having obsessive compulsive thoughts. Switched to the generic brand called mylan-burpropion and lasted 4 days. Was extremely suicidal and couldn't stop crying. My throat closed up and I was so nauseous. Stopped taking immediately the feeling of wanting to kill myself went away. Throat is still hurting and it feels like I have the flu. This was definitely not the right meds for my system"


"I was a Roxy (heroin) abuser for 2 yrs.  Made several attempts to quit cold turkey with NO luck and HELLACIOUS withdrawals. Desperate I did some research, made an appointment with local doctor and was inducted today at 15mg.  Some helpful/honest things I can share are...GOOD:  I feel amazing, shocked that it really works, zero cravings, but mostly happy I'm no longer a slave to Roxy's!  BAD: Not sure if my doctor shares same plan I have for wanting to ween off in 6-8 wks. No insurance and my doctor charges $500/month fee, plus taking (2) 8mg pills/day @ $16=$980/mo. Wish there was cheaper way but obviously compared to what I was spending I am saving money and most importantly MY LIFE."


"This really has changed my life! I suffered a whole year thinking my urethral stricture was the cause, after that was sorted I still carried on with what felt like constant cystitis. My urologist finally diagnosed Interstitial Cystitis and started me on 20mg of amitriptyline. After 10-14days it worked! Have the very odd day of mild discomfort but it's changed my life. I haven't noticed side effects as yet, on my 9th week on them."


"I drank down my Suprep in about 10 mins, trying to just get it down in one shot (and I thought I was supposed to drink it kind of fast, not sure about that).  Drank down my next 32oz of water, and felt like a innertube I was so bloated.  I was worried it wasn't working, because I've heard the stories of the sounds and gurgles and my stomach was just distended.

But then.....I felt a little feeling that made me worry tremendously if I were to even coughed too hard.  I hightailed it to the bathroom with the bidet (over the toilet, no need to move), and holy cannoli.  I was there for literally (yes, LITERALLY) one hour.  Then I was able to take a shower and so far so good.  2am is the next dose, and I'm sure nothing will be left!"


"I had my colon removed due to Ulcerative Colitis and have been running to the bathroom regularly. I was taking 8 Lomotil a day and still going 8 times a day."


"I had a 4.3 cm prolactinoma with prolactin level at 9500. Taking 0.5 mg every other day. Biggest side effect is costs and availability. Wal Mart pharmacy always does a partial fill as they are always out of stock. Internet search for average price yields nothing. Shame on these drug companies. Levels now at 600.......To Maleka on a previous post with ice pick pain headache, you may have trigeminal neuralgia. Your cure is tegretol.   Been there done that, good luck"


"I got Nexplanon in August of 2014. All around its effective.  My only issues are with occasional nausea, increased appetite and weight gain and horrible headaches. I am a little worried about the fact that I have zero libido and no desire to be intimate with my husband.  I can deal with the rest but that's a little nerve wracking. And it's really annoying because he reminds me of it every day. Anyone else have this problem?"


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


"i am a two pack a day plus smoker pretty much when get up in the morning or sit idle I chain smoke.  I started Chantix 10 days ago after one day of taking this wonderful medication I drop to 1 pack a day some nausea and some goofy dreams. after 1 week I was down to half a pack a day today on day 10i have not smoked one cigarette. 1. you have to want to quit 2. Chantix will not do it all for you you have to make some effort. 3. changing your daily habits is a great idea. throughout the day especially morning first waking up is my hardest time but as of today I didn't give in I got rid of all my cigarettes tobacco tubes and machine I plan on stay smoke free from here on out. if you want to quit should you get on this product? I say YES DO IT"


"This drug saved my life, I had been on almost all atypical meds with no luck.  Now I have been on 40mg of zyprexa for 10 years with no relapses, and have even managed to hold down a job.
I gained 20 pounds and an now a type 2 diabetic, but it was worth it.
My family and friends noticed rapid improvements within a week of starting zyprexa. A little hint, when starting zyprexa, ask your dr to prescribe benztopine, it prevents many of the negative side effects of zyprexa.
I hope this review helps some one :-)"


"I took Famvir for cold sores ... it is effective and worked fast. "


"Switched to this since Lisinopril made me cough like a barking seal. It keeps the bp in check, however, after taking this medication for several months I have developed serious side effects, including weight gain --up 20 pounds since started taking, high blood potassium, moderate dehydration, numbness, orthostatic hypotension (probably from the dehydration). No one told me about the potassium issue, wasn't warned by the pharmacist, the doctor, had to look this up on the internet. My vitamin C supplement contains electrolytes and this is a contributing factor. REALLY, REALLY think this potassium issue should be on the label of each bottle. Along with CAUSES weight gain. Very important for those of use with specific health issues."


"I had microscopic colititsSevere abdominal pain a couple hours after taking med. Dried out mucosa of mouth so much could hardly talk. Also dried out eyes so much took a day of using artificial tear drops every two hours to make eyes comfortable"


"This works great! it absolutely gives the desired effects. NO MORE SWEATING. you can apply it to other areas as well if you so chose. Really does work. Post two hour gym session, rinse off in the shower. No deodorant applied. Still no sweating. But, it does have a burning effect which can be quite uncomfortable. But, a little bit of some  burn cream of any sort id imagine, and that goes away. It's best Applied at night and then rinsed off in the morning. You will love it."


"Switched from Ortho-Cyclen (Sprintec) bc of decrease in libido. Have trialed twice & both times have had weight gain (10-15lbs), increased acne (I don't normally break out), and uncontrollable emotions. I literally would cry all month long, not just the week before my period. I have been super irritable & have unpredictable mood swings. After this month (the 3rd month of taking) I will be discontinuing & attempting a non-hormonal contraceptive - as I am prone to depression & this medication is junk."


"I used Pristiq to treat anxiety/panic/depression after trying a few other meds that didn't work well a few years ago. Cymbalta was one that did work better when trying to find the right one but not quite as well. I eventually switched to Prozac due to cost, after that worked well for a year or two and eventually tapered off medicines all together. Had another episode and tried Prozac again and then Celexa, neither of which worked well. I just switched back to Pristiq and feel like I can literally tell the difference after only a day. I do know you need to take each day and at the same time to avoid withdrawal symptoms but I was able to get off it pretty easy in the past by switching to Prozac and then tapering. Hoping for the best!"


"Nabumetone helping my left knee but gave me pain in both feet when I walk and I got a rash on my right arm  from it after I started taking it...."


"I first discovered I had HEP C back in the late 90's. Maybe from Tattoos, maybe from sex, I really don't know where I got it . In 2001 I went through the Ribovflavin pill and injection program for a year.  That was a rough rough go but it knocked my viral load down to next to nothing. 15 years later my viral load began rising again.  Today I am near the end of the program on my last 3 pills from the 90 day run. I have had some minor side affects....mostly weakness and fatigue and muscle cramps near the end here.  I have my last labs next week....hopefully I am good to go."


"I've just recently started taking adpex again because I need to lose a little bit more weight. The first month I worked out intensively, and ate good healthy food. I didn't starve myself I ate what I wanted just in moderation. I lost 16 pounds in one month. The 2nd month I did the same lost around 10 pounds. In total I lost 50 pounds in 3 months. If you diet and exercise with this product you WILL drop weight like crazy! And on the plus side it's actually cheaper than buying supplements at the store, no new health food, just go to your doctor and set a goal!"


"It's been just over 1 year since finding out I had this..still haven't come to terms with saying the word! Herpes. I got it from  my daughters father, 7/8/15 the worst day of my life. Immediately I knew something was wrong with my throat and mouth. Its only been within the past few months since finding out about this product.. It is amazing!! Thankfully no cold sores have formed around my mouth, my family don't even know I got it! When I start to feel the slightest tingle I take 4-500mg L-Lysine at one time and its good the next morning! No craps or side effects, I think my skin is even looking healthier!!"


"I'm 30 years old and I have 3 degenerated discs in my spine and a pinched sciatic nerve. Until I found percocet my life was horrible. I couldn't even sleep it hurt so bad. Now I can live my life again."


"Started taking this medication about a week ago for Sciatica related pain, I had L5-L6 back surgery 10 years ago and get flare ups of pain from post surgery. It has helped the pain a fair bit, I still feel the right buttock pain when driving my car but other types of sittings is much better. The side effects are not so good, ablot of bloating. I feel like I have a balloon in my tummy; upset stomach; light headed and dizzy. With having vertigo in the past its hard to tell if is Vertigo or the medication.  Doctor wanted me to try it for 2 weeks but will go see him today after 1 week and have a chat with him about it. My dosage is 2 pills per day with food 50MG. I will ask if taking 1 per day may be and idea and who knows it may be enough?"


"I absolutely HATED this medication.

 I have been struggling with panic attacks and major depression since I was younger. I was put on this medication for about a year and my panic attacks were not so often. The downsides of medication

Is that I felt little to no emotion, And had ZERO sex drive."


"I was diagnosed with Chronic Insomnia about 5 months ago. Doctor prescribed Ambien. It works wonders. I discovered that for me, once I take it, I cannot communicate on any social media websites, because the next day when I go back and read what I wrote, it's a bunch of gibberish. My routine, I take an Ambien, get in the bed and read a little, before I know it, I'm waking up in the morning not realizing I even feel asleep. My only issue is, the pills are prescribed in bottles of 21 pills, one bottle with two additional refills. If I don't schedule my follow - up Sleep Appointment right, I'll be stuck with a few days with no medicine like I am now while typing this, lol. It is after 12 am and I'm WIDE AWAKE."


"First of all, my depression is diagnosed as mild. I am young and was still unsure as to whether or not I was depressed or if my sadness was just a normal part of life. My doctor prescribed me Pristiq four days ago and I am amazed by the difference I feel already. I have more energy, my anxiety is gone, I feel optimistic, my desire to exercise is back...I agree with what other people have said before me, this is what life felt like a long time ago. I tried Prozac in the past but it just numbed me so I stopped taking it. With Pristiq, I am still able to feel sadness, it's just impossible to reach the extreme lows I felt before. I really wish I had started taking this medicine sooner."


"This medication ruined me. When I was in my freshman year of high school I could see no point in living. I started taking this in the second grade and now it has literally no effect. I was failing all of my classes and I gave up on trying to go to college, this drug makes you think their are two yous, the medicine "normal" or the non medicated "annoying". The only reason doctors give this to people is to get money, scheduling appointments every 3 months."


"Works great, but soooo expensive!"


"Please take time to read this. Accutane was 100% effective for me but you really have to be prepared for it. I took Accutane for 8 months- 40mg then 20mg then 10mg. The reason I am mentioning this is that I noticed that people start at very high doses. So if you are worried (and I recommend), take it slow and start at a lower dose. Accutane has a lot of side effects (the severity depends on numerous factors including dosage). My side effects included mood swings and dry skin (especially lips). I used to cry on the smallest things ever and I got sad very easily. It got better with time but please be well-prepared. You really have to make priorities and ask yourself if it is worth it and if you are able to handle it. I chose Accutane :)"


"I'm currently taking 150mg seroquel XR along with 45mg Remeron for MDD
I take them both at night, To help with my sleep. It also is to help my anxiety disorder.

I've noticed that I am less depressed and anxious, But that's only because I'm so depersonalised I can't focus on my surroundings, Let alone my anxiety

I constantly feel stuck in a dream-like state and I can't focus.

Even as I write this I'm struggling to find the words,and describe how I feel, Because I don't feel much of anything

I haven't had many other side effects, even when I drastically increased the dose

All in all, It technically does help, But this is no way to live"


"I had a supposedly simple female procedure done in 2007 that was supposed to leave me with a little cramping for two days. The next morning I was in so much pain all over my body. I called the Gynecologist who didn't understand why I would be in so much pain and basically left me to just handle it. I called the hospital to talk to an Anesthesiologist; he got my chart, listened and then put me on hold to look into it more. When he came back he asked, "Does it feel like you have been hit with a baseball bat all over your body?" YES!!! He told me it was a side effect of the medication Succinylcholine. Six months later I was DX with Fibromyalgia! I don't know if it caused the Fibromyalgia but now I feel like I did for that week all the time."


"Have been on Celebrex for a year.  Initially for TMJ issues, then picked up mild-to-moderate rheumatoid arthritis last summer.  Been on it continuously except for a couple month long steroid regimens. I wouldn't call it a miracle medicine, but it knocks my inflammation and pain back about 60%.  Certainly not as effective as the steroid, but 60% is enough to keep me fully functional and unlike the steroid, I have minimal to zero side effects with it."


"Never had any side effects from this medication apart from some occasional spotting. I had to switch due to no one carrying it where I moved too. I was overall very happy with this product."


"Creon is great. If I do not take it I suffer severe pain."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Much easier than last prep 10 years ago.  It does taste like cough syrup...but I just chugged the first dose and then followed immediately with the water.  Cramping as expected but was really over in a couple of hours...so I was even able to go back to sleep for a couple of hours after my 5:30 AM dose."


"Haven't gotten pregnant so it's working. I have migraines but this pill doesn't give me headaches. Short and lighter periods. Great medicine although my boobs are more sensitive"


"Valium has really helped me. It has made a difference in my life. I'm 24, I went from being violent and having anxiety after anxiety attack but since being prescribed valium it has worked wonders."


"I've been on this birth control for a few months now and I have absolutely no complaints. My insurance covers it 100%, I didn't (and still don't) have any side effects when starting the pill and i'm not pregnant! No weight gain, no nausea, no headaches, nothing."


"I have suffered with anxiety and severe panic attacks for many years.

It is a GODSEND. Initially anyway.

I have noticed over the years I've had to increase the dose I take (which I've never taken daily).

5mg of diazepam  (Valium) never did much for me. But 7.5mg used to have a perfect effect. These days I need 15mg for that same affect.

Its a shame. And I thought I wasn't abusing it because I didn't take it daily. (Generally 2 or 3 times a week, depending how I felt).

I'm still giving it a high rating for the many times its helped me.

But even taking it as PRN has eventually caught up on me. If I don't take it for several days I start feeling sick.

Devastated to lose a medication that can work so well."


"I liked the packaging; glad they are undercutting Gillead on price.  Someone needed to.  Small size, easy to swallow.  Side effects were mild for the most part.  A little hard to tell for me because of another concurrent ailment.  Helps to stay hydrated."


"I am a 58 year old. Testopel: Ist insertion 12 pellets was quick, extreme bruising and soreness for a week (remedied with ice 2nd insertion). Expected results were excellent. Like a bell curve for me 1st week waited for levels to come up and they did, improvement in strength and fat loss, slight weight loss (still believe that 95% of this is your eating). After 12 weeks started to notice shift back to perception of low t and at 16 week mark level was under 300. 2nd insertion 14 pellets same results at 12 weeks today and starting to feel same way. Calling Dr. to see if I can get in early after we see blood test."


"I love Topamax! I can finally sit through school without getting a migraine. It might make concentrating a little more difficult, but no harder than trying to concentrate with a migraine! The only side effect I can complain about is the tingling in my hands and feet, but that usually only lasts about 15 min. I haven't experienced any hair loss (thank god)and I also can't complain about the appetite loss."


"Not Good"


"I was on Yaz for about 6 months. A couple weeks ago I was finding it hard to breathe and having chest pains. To my complete surprise, doctors found I had multiple blood clots in both my lungs blocking almost my entire airway and admitted me into hospital straight away. I am a healthy 23 year old and doctors said they have never seen a PE (Pulmonary Embolism) as bad as mine. Tests came back confirming that the clots were caused from my YAZ pill. They told me that had I waited a couple more days I could have dropped down dead without any warning. Very scary to know the pill can cause this much damage to the body, I don't know how they are still producing and selling this pill. After my near death experience, I will NEVER recommend this pill"


"My spouse has been on Epivir-HBV for 17 years now. We have a 12 year old who was conceived during the time my spouse was taking Epivir HBV. So far everything is well, we are living a normal life after transplantation & taking this medication."


"Dec.6,2013 I had a screening colonoscopy. Propofol was the agent used for sedation. I had an adverse reaction to the medication.  I was paralyzed, but not sedated. I knew every time they moved me. I knew what they were talking about. I understood everything, I just could NOT move, speak or even open my eyes.  I was able to get enough "oomph" to say "hurts" and someone said "You shouldn't even be feeling that" and I said "hurts bad".  I am just thankful this was during a relatively minor procedure instead of something like heart/lung surgery.  I guess someone gave me a little more after I spoke b/c the next thing I remember is someone's panicky voice saying "I can't get her oxygen up!" over and over again. I survived, but barely I think."


"Cymbalta was a life saver; I started on 30 mg and quickly went to 60 mg. I felt relaxed, less anxiety. My dose was increased to 90 mg- I became psychotic, talking a mile a minute, the sweats, etc. I was placed back on the 60 mg."


"I started taking Junel Fe after taking Sprintec for three months, and at first I liked it. It is effective for birth control, but I had the worst side effects. It made my face breakout, I gained some weight, and it made me so moody and depressed. Going on month five I spent a lot of time sleeping and spending time alone because of the pill."


"At the end, I was drinking a fifth of vodka daily, sometimes more.  Was pretty excited about the Sinclair Method using Naltrexone, but it didn't work for me as it did for others.  Two trips to the psych ed with debilitating depression fuelled by alcohol, one inpatient stint and one rehab later, my psychiatrist prescribed Campral.  I'm two weeks in and the worst "craving" was thinking about drinking prior to the holiday weekend.  I used my other supports and didn't drink.

I also take gabapentin 600mg three times daily and Zoloft 200mg nightly to help with anxiety and depression.

(This rating would be a 10, but I've had diarrhea for a few days after upping my dose to 666mg 3x/day.)"


"There are definitely some perks to Nexplanon, my all-time favorite is that I haven't had a period in forever and it doesn't require taking a pill. I had the IUD before and it bothered my partner sometimes so this definitely doesn't have that drawback and it lasts a while too.

My personal drawback is that the arm its inserted in is really weak. I like to lift and workout and that is a major drawback to my workouts. I can lift maybe twenty max on that side without the assistance of my other arm and sometimes it just randomly hurts or itches. I am going in this week to make sure it was inserted right so it might just be a problem with insertion."


"I was on a high dosage of Lexapro and it was working extremely well. However, the side effects were terrible. I added BuSpar gradually then decreased the Lexapro to 10 mg and feel as good as I did on the high dosage of Lexapro. I am currently taking 10mg Lexapro and 15mg BuSpar 2x daily. I will warn you that if you miss a dose or two of the BuSpar, the next time you take it will make you feel really weird for a few hours. Also, when you first start taking it, you will feel weird for about a week. Push through it, it is a great add on to Lexapro."


"For me, it got worse before it got better. And it got a lot BETTER! I was prescribed  Retin-A by my dermatologist back in July, and have been using it as directed for 4 months already. I%u2019ll say, it was very difficult to believe in this product  since the first couple of weeks because my skin would just not catch a break. It got really bad and I was miserable. However, I now attest to the true wonders this stuff can do for you if you%u2019re patient."


"I tried Cymbalta for chronic calf pain due to small fiber neuropathy. I did not experience brain zaps, night terrors or headaches but it did make me sleep a lot while i acclimated. I got up to 120mg/day but did not get any pain relief; still, it seemed to help with my attitude so i kept it at 60mg for a while. Ultimately I ended up getting better results from Pamelor."


"I've been in this pill for 6 months and it's the worst. I get 2 periods a month, super emotional, terrible cramps and crazy mood swings. It's good at preventing pregnancy but I definitely would not recommend."

"I really wish I had read all these reviews before I started..I started taking Seasonique a little over a month ago. I absolutely LOVE the idea of rarely having periods. Seeing how when I do have them they are heavy for over a week normally. Except I have noticed a major change in myself. I cry over EVERYTHING and get angry over EVERYTHING I never used to be like this. I didn't have too big of a sex drive before the pill but now its completely gone. I also recently have been getting terrible shooting pain in my stomach. "


"I have esphogeal cancer, having radiation daily and chemo weekly.  This medicine is so precise about keeping the nausea and vomiting down I can tell exactly when a dose is due.  1 every 12 hours. I am thankful this medicine is there.  The side effects are very bearable (unknown concerning liver).  It is very expensive but if you have a severe issue - the money is not your main concern.  If you have cancer, there are agencies that can help with the drug cost.  Try AM Cancer Soc.  Maybe they can help guide you. Keep your spirits up and prayers in your daily life.  Take Care."


"So after reading these reviews, I feel a little better about taking Valtrex. I just took my first 500mg dose for HSV1 that has been recurring in my nose over the last 2 years (thank you nose piercer). I read that it has the potential to travel up into my sinuses and in rare cases can cause fatal outbreaks in the brain. I can't tell you the kind of depression I fell into after I read that... It was all I could think about for weeks until I could get in to the doctor. I'm hoping it works as well for me as it seems to for all of you. Fingers crossed."


"I got Implanon in October 2011 while on my period. At the end of that cycle I did not get my period again until October 2012. It was the best year ever! No mood swings, not worrying about a pill, my weight stayed the same, and my sex drive increased. I'm also a huge whimp about needles but insertion didn't hurt. However, from Oct 2012- present (Jan 2013) I've gotten my period erratically from every other week to every 2 weeks. I'm going on vacation soon and the unpredictability of the medicine is starting to seriously irritate me (and put a damper on my daily routine). I hate to give it up because the first year spoiled me so much! But I'm afraid the aggravation of the unknown may have me removing it in the very near future.."


"I got nexplanon July 8th of this year it has been a living hell I been bleeding continuously off and on spotting.  It also has given me the worst acne EVER my face will clear up and then a day or two later come back! I also have experienced pregnancy like sypmtoms such as nausea, and sometimes actually vomitting! I also have the worst headaches and sleeplessness. I would not recommend this product to anyone! Its not worth it try condoms or abstinence"


"I have had constant nausea for SEVEN years related to gastroparesis and Meniere's disease (an inner ear disorder causing severe vertigo and nausea). I was finally offered Zofran on my last emergency room trip (I told the doctor if they didn't do something I was going to go insane)... Zofran has been a lifesaver and I never go anywhere without it. And I mean that. It works like magic every time I need it. The longest it has ever taken to kick in is 45 minutes. I can't say enough good things about it. 100% thumbs up."


"I took it for three days before the left side of my face went numb, and my coordination/depth perception became screwy.  I went to the ER, where they diagnosed a "Partial" Bell's Palsy.  There were so many Drs (Including neurologists) talking about my case bc my symptoms didn't fit into any diagnosis.  I think that this side effect should be better publicized!  Now I want to know if this paralysis is ever going to resolve.
Has anyone out there experienced this?"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I read these reviews religiously before my first colonoscopy a few weeks ago. My experience with prepopik was very positive. I took the first dose around 5:40 pm. Within 40 minutes I was on the toilet. This was on and off until 11. I fell asleep and woke up for the 2nd dose at 2:30. This time I was not able to complete the required liquids. I was so nauseated. I finished up around 5 and slept until my appointment time. The diarrhea was a liquid from the beginning, and I was petrified that my colon was not clean enough. Turns out, it was gorgeous. My colonoscopy went without a hitch. my only complaint is nausea, and that wasn't too awful."


"I am a 36yr. old mother of 4 and I started taking Contrave yesterday and initially I felt nothing.  Until I started moving around, I became very jittery, then extremely clammy and hot - my mouth started to water and I threw up all over the place.  To say it made me nauseous is an understatement!  I thought maybe it was because I ate a light breakfast before taking it.  So I took it again this morning after a decent breakfast, and as I'm typing...I'm going through the exact same symptoms as yesterday.  I'm going to discontinue using this as much as I was hoping I could continue to help with my weight loss, the symptoms are too harsh for me to continue."


"Started the 60 mg tablet after breakfast today. Day 1 symptoms are slight nauseous feeling after eating. Some fatigue ( swam 1.5klm today at lunch) some stomach pain and yes some urine retention.
Have taken Pristiq before 100mg symptoms were same but had bad itching with pristiq. Lets see what I feel like in 3 days I know the initial period is tough. Score at this point would be NA but I've put 5 until more time progresses. will try to give update on Monday"


"Best medication out there for stopping a panic attack in progress by far. Xanax will probably put you to sleep. 10 rating is for its ability to stop an attack."


"I started taking Simponi 4 days ago after a very severe flare-up. I am 54 years old and have had rheumatoid arthritis for 29 years. I was pretty much incapacitated with the pain.  Two days ago I was able to resume my normal household chores and feel so much better!  I really hope the effectiveness continues."


"I been taking this medication and no work out and I'm gaining weight I don't eat anything but healthy foods what do I need to do"


"I usually get a persistent cough when I come down with a head cold.  So, just before bed I take 5 ml ( 1 teaspoon ) measured carefully.  Fortunately, none of the stomach side effects (which seem to be more common with higher dosages.)  During the day I live with the cough, which I understand is somewhat necessary to clear the lungs.  If I didn't take anything at all I would never get a proper night's sleep when I needed it the most - to recover from an illness."


"Positives: I've been on this pill for over a year and it's alright; I'd be terrified to try another one. 3-day, perfectly timed period with light bleeding compared to my natural heavy and often painful one. My skin is pretty clear and I now forgo makeup altogether.

Negatives: I have had increased headaches, ranging from 0-3 per week depending on my stress level, but if you can avoid stress, it shouldn't be too bad. I don't like that my ovulation mucus is gone; I loved knowing myself that way, but most women probably don't care. Also, I think my sex-drive may have decreased a bit although I still seek the deed.

( /-) I did get extremely nauseous when I started taking it in the morning, but switched to nighttime and largely eliminated that problem."


"I'm 16, I had Nexplanon inserted on November 6th 2015. Since then, I've been spotting every single day with only one week without spotting. I went back to my doctor on Dec 24th and she prescribed me the mini pill to help with the spotting. It did the opposite and only made me bleed more and made me very tired. I'm stopping the mini pill and giving Nexplanon one more month before I get it removed.
Other than the constant spotting, its effective in preventing pregnancy, stops period pain, and has a quick and non painful insertion."


"I have had bad skin since I can remember and had tried all sorts of products/home remedies/diet changes and nothing worked. Had non-painful lumps in my neck and chin and after seeing a specialist, finally found out that i had bacteria in my lymph nodes from untreated acne. i have been using this in combination with an antibiotic toner and all of my lymph nodes are fine and so is my skin. At 27 it is nice to have nice skin. No nausea or side effects at all. Highly recommended!!!"


"I have severe dysmennorhea and I recently switched from Seasonique to Junel. This is the first time in my life that I've had a period without cramps. Honestly, if this continues I can say this pill drastically changed my quality of life."


"Hello ladies, well currently I am waiting the results of plan B since I had an incident this past SUN 9/10. so me and my bf always use condoms but this past Sunday alcohol was involved so we went ahead and had unprotected sex, he pulled out the first time but  there's the matter of precum so of course this was the stupidest decision we both could've made, and I was expected to ovulate 3 days later. So the next morning. I went ahead and bought plan B  and took it exactly at 9am (13-15 hours after). So here I am worried to the point of having a panic attack but I'm hopeful cause it's worked for me before! I'll be posting an update in 2 weeks when I take a pregnancy test. Good luck!"


"I just started my 4th week- up to 4 pills now and still very nauseated. This medicine works though! I've lost about 4 pounds so far. I have absolutely no cravings anymore and my portion size has greatly decreased. I hope it continues to work, minus the nausea though."


"I had bad side effects from this medicine. I had nausea, headache and dizziness almost daily since taking Janumet. Thinking my body would adjust I kept taking it for about 6 months. Since I stopped it 2 weeks ago the nausea, headache and dizziness has stopped. I will have to get "real" with myself and do diet and exercise."


"I was a benzo/opiate addict for 10 years. Using strong narcotics including H, Methadone, Oxycodone, Xanax, and Klonopin. I was given Buprenorphine (Subutex) and Diazepam (Valium) for Detox. The Diazepam was a god send. It helped tremendously with both detoxes. It wasn't easy of course, but I fought it through. Diazepam is a thumbs up for detox!"


"Helps with the burning and Bump flare ups. When used all the time completely makes me symptom free"


"This drug is OK for short term but long term after second car accident severe stomach pain.  I would take it and stomach would start making noise.  Horrible nausea follow,  researched and found it is cheapest muscle relaxers.  My opinion there is bad stuff in those things, currently taking Soma and no side effects even when taken for same time frame: taken longer too."


"Update:  Went to the doctor on 08/02/2014, down 32 pound.  I really love these pills.  Really no side effects.  A little numbness in the fingers but go away quickly.  Will continue to take until I reach my weight lost goal of 50 pounds."


"Crying more often. Nervousness when hungry. Thinking about getting it removed soon. Bleeding for two weeks on and off."


"I'm using Jublia right now - so far so good..

I started to use Jublia about ~2 months ago after noticed that my toenail is thickening and yellow. My podiatrist confirm that it's a fungus and warned me that Jublia has only 40% success.  As I didn't want to take the oral medicine (liver risk or something like that...) I decided to try Jublia . my toenail is still a bit thick after 2 months however the color is white again and it looks much better. Will definitely continue with Jublia all the ~11 months.

Got a prescription ($25 copay per bottle) via some pharmacy plan that my podiatrist recommended."


"Quick background about me-Female, 23, 5'8" ,122lbs. Started Nortripyline for fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I started off at a low dose, 10mgs, increasing by 10mgs weekly. When I first started it, I was jolted with energy throughout the whole day (which was great because fibro has been causing SO much fatigue) and I had a SUPER dry mouth. The first couple weeks... no other side affects, also was mildly helpful but not entirely. By the time I got to 60mgs, I was disassociating from my body, felt like I was going to crash my car when I drove it, dropped things, couldn't focus, couldn't speak without slurring my words, and I was extremely depressed...so I dropped down to 50mgs and everything is great now. I am also starting Lyrica."


"I got this as to maintain my period to stay on track/ work with abnormal period. So far it is good unless I miss some days - I have bad habit of missing some on accident.

I did notice my acne cleared up pretty well and that has been good. I'm also not sexually active

I don't get any mood swings. Pill doesn't make me gain or loose weight. I may get kinda sick every once in awhile at my stomach but it does manage to go away."


"I was prescribed fluoxetine for anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder about a year ago but I stopped it for around three months and went back on it around six weeks ago. I also tried citalopram but I didn't like them. I've also had treatment but I have to say fluoxetine has beaten it all, I've never been so mentally free, it feels surreal and seems too good to be true.

I haven't been sleeping well and I was sweating a hell of a lot at first."


"Unfortunately for me Azithromycin caused hives on day 3 of a 5 day pack.  I was starting to feel a tad bit better, but had to stop taking due to hives.  After which I had 2 more weeks of coughing due to bronchitis and had to use Ceftin for 10 days 2 times a day at 500mg."


"I have been diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Hypochondria (Illness anxiety Disorder), an Eating Disorder, and Depression. All of the others stemmed mostly from the Panic Disorder. I was suffering so much that I could not function and became extremely agoraphobic to where I did not want to leave my room. I was scared to take medicine but it got to the point one day where I couldn't take it anymore and decided to give the Xanax my doctor gave me a try. It helped so much and I was finally able to calm down enough to think clearly. I got on Zoloft and continued taking Xanax until my anxiety and depression was manageable. Now I only need it every once in a while when the anxiety and obsessive thoughts get bad. Definitely helped me get on my feet."


"Wonderdrug. I have never, ever had a period of more than two days without irritability without hypomania. Within 2 days of taking this medication, my irritability was nil.  I was able to sit in a busy, loud restaurant without getting angry or distracted.  I have no sedation during the day, and this medication helps me sleep at night, immediately and deeply.  I'm sleeping about 9-10 hours every night, which is why I'm giving it 8 of 10 stars, because that amount of sleep is a little much for me.  I still feel a normal range of emotion on this medication, my sex drive is normal, I have no side effects.  The taste is not so bad, but tongue does get numb every time I take it, but this wears  off by the time I wake up."


"I am a firefighter/emt. I hurt my back on the job 8 years ago and became an addict. I never did drugs as a kid or an adult. That blue pill had me spending every dime I had because if not, I could not work or have a normal life. So many years in pain and addicted then I got methadone. Methadone saved my life and job, which helps me save lives."


"This helped my moderate hormonal acne so much. At first I was scared to use it because of all the reviews I read saying how it causes you to purge before it gets better. Luckily for me I did not have to go through that. It worked immediately! I was taking 50 mg doxy bid with tretinoin 0.05% gel applied topically at night. My face was smooth as butter. Eventually I stopped using the gel and just the doxy and it cleared my skin right up. Now I get a few pimples here and there around the time of my period."


"I was in a car accident with a head injury. I had intractable migraine and other headaches that came and went daily on top of that and three months after the accident my neurologist offered Topamax. It's been 9 months. I lost a lot of hair; I have the soda is flat thing; the pins and needles; and I have lost weight. I think the brain fog was not noticable because of the brain injury. It took care of my headaches immediately. I didn't mind the side effects. I ran out of it once and on day two had a seizure. I tried to titrate off recently and the migraine returned with a vengeance so I am still going to be taking it. I don't mind the side effects in comparison to the headache. Also-I use hypnosis for some of the side effects."


"I've had Mirena for about a year didn't have a single period now out of no where I had a period for two weeks and now I'm bleeding so heavily. I have headaches cramping and my acne is breaking out horribly."


"Good but created impotence."


"I have had two doses.  My doctor (and myself and my family) are very happy with the progress thus far.  I am a 38 year old mother of three and am so thankful for this medication.  My doctor hopes to start weaning me off methotrexate in the next few months.  I applied for the patient care plan and have had no problems with it.  I picked up my first dose last month at the pharmacy without any glitches.  Almost all swelling and pain is gone.  I noticed that it fades a bit the last week before my next dose.  We'll see how it goes this month.  Still, leaps and bounds better than taking three different kinds of medicines!  Thank you Simponi."


"I first got the Implanon in March of 08.. wasn't bad at all. I loved it up until March of this year. For the first two years I had my period at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. In March of 2010 I began having very heavy periods that lasted a good week or two. Then things really picked up this summer and after talking with my husband I decided to get it taken out and see if things straightened it (only time will tell). Thinking about getting a new one sometime next year. I really loved having it!"


"I started taking Lexapro in April this year for anxiety/OCD and it did help a lot and I was able to function again. The two main side effects were weird vivid dreams and I have gained about 20 lbs which I cannot stand so I'm now weaning myself off.  I've been off for about 1 week and my mood has been so up and down. Very irritable. Also, have been having the weird brain zaps but now they are wearing off after about a week."


"I tried this medication when I was a teenager but did not stick with it because the irritation it caused me was unbearable. I wonder if it because my acne was worse and my skin more sensitive at the time but I can't remember how long I stuck with it. I started my current try with it about nine moths ago. I had about one-two months of redness, itchiness and a lot of skin flaking but as soon as this wore off (which it did completely) as my skin adapted to it, I started noticed big improvements:

I have had almost no blackheads which were causing me lot of scarring.

For most of the month I get no spots and when I do, it's just a few and they are MUCH smaller, less painful and disappear quicker and my skin overall looks clearer and more youthful"


"Side effects aren't worth it for me."


"I have had Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) for about 2 years now in my leg after 3 Surgeries to repair my achilles tendon and peroneus brevis tendon and a DVT.  I take percocet 10, tramadol and baclofen.   The med is a lifesaver.   I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts, lots of walking and standing.   Not sure I could work without it.  I'm only 43. So thankful that I was prescribed this."


"Saved my life."

"I have been on Beyaz for about 3 months and can't figure out if I like it not. My obgyn prescribed it because I had acne, and my skin looks GREAT. Probably the best its looked in a while.  My sex drive hasn't decreased at all, maybe even a little increased. But I did notice that I have an increased appetite and have gained a couple of pounds.  I get headaches sometimes too and night sweats. Maybe it will get better though, I'll see!"


"I just wanted to write a review for anxiety, I am 34 year old female, and all the sudden one day I had bad anxiety, that I couldn't control.well this time it didn't, I felt nerouse, heart races and just sick to my stomach. So I went to the dr. and she prescribed me Sertraline 25 mgs. Well the first 2 1/2 weeks were horrible bc it made my anxiety worse and I had lots of side effects, I had diariah, hot flashes, and over active reflexes in my leg. I made many calls to the dr. she said I was fine, bc I kept thinking everything was wrong with me. Finallly after 3 weeks I felt better!! Stick With it, also was prescribed Xanax to help in the meantime!!"


"On this pill for 3 months. Constant UTIs despite drinking 2 liters of water a day. I have never had a migraine until this pill. Makes sex painful. No vaginal lubrication at all despite arousal level. Would not reccommend!"


"Been on Cimzia for almost 3 treatments, i.e. 3 months. It caused me a terrible migraine and never resolved the psoriasis on my hands. It caused pain and inflammation in my left arch and heel of my foot that radiated pain up the leg and into the hip that I just received a cortisone injection in. The pain is quite severe and lasts for at least 5 days after my treatments. I still experience arthritis stiffness and pain in my fingers and toes. I will now be trying Otezla which sounds quite scary to take but I will give it a try."


"It's not working for my functional abdominal pain"


"I think this drug is wonderful but, like alcohol, it needs to be taken in moderation or else you'll get addicted to it. I like to use Ativan 0.5mg whenever I have a little episode or I'm really stressed and the drug works really quickly. I also use it to put me to sleep. In short: good drug."


"I started this medication a few weeks ago and it's already working.  I don't wake up as much in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I sleep a lot better.  I haven't felt this good in awhile.  I can even eat/drink things I normally wouldn't be able to (in moderation of course)."


"Three months ago, because of paroxysmal afib and after wearing an event monitor,  I was put on both Flecainide (50 mg twice per day) and Metoprolol (50mg at night).  The original dose was Flecainide 100 mg twice per day, but when I told the cardiologist that I didn't like the way it made me feel, he immediately said "Well OK, just take half the amount each time", as though the difference wasn't a big deal!  The Flecainide seems to be working, but instead of feeling better I am feeling progressively worse by the day.  Not sure whether Flecainide is to blame or the Metoprolol.  Feel I'm in a dream most of the time, excessive daytime sleepiness, slight dizziness, memory problems, depression.  Hard to get hold of cardiologist."


"Today is my 83rd day smoke free.  Chantix has been a miracle for  me.  I quit the day before I had a minor surgery.  I haven't looked back since.  While I would not say it has been easy; it has been MUCH EASIER than I imagined.  I rarely even think about smoking anymore.

I was a 1-2 pack, 10 year smoker and never in a million years would I have thought that I would ever get to the point where I would go an entire day and not think about cigarettes.  Its only been 83 days, yet it seems like year's ago that I smoked.  I can drink and be around smokers and barely even flinch at having one.

"


"I've almost reached the end of my titration pack and I'm going to continue using this medication. So far, I haven't had a huge improvement in pain but it does seem to help a small amount. I'm hoping this improves. My mood has become so much better. I have the desire to want to go out and do things again. I'm happier. That itself, has made a big difference in my life. I feel more like myself again after years and years of clinical depression. At the beginning, it did make me feel very nauseous. This only happened for a few days. It's worth going through!"


"I first got this BC when I was 16 got it removed at 19 I am now 22. This was my first BC ever and I have to say it was excellent as far as prevention. I had little to no periods throughout having it for the full 3 years. A lot others experienced at least 15lbs weight gain, however that wasn't the case with me. I was 120lbs when I had it put it and than I blew up to 165lbs in first year and a half (no change in diet) I have no idea how that happened and than all of sudden I started to shed off the pounds in the last year of having it and went to 115lbs I don't know what changed (still no change in diet) if anything I was eating more sugar but losing weight (WEIRD) I know.I plan on having another put in, in 6 weeks after delivering HOPING4BEST"


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

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


"I will never take Humira again! I strongly believed in it for the several years I took it, but now I've developed an allergic reaction to it."


"This was the nastiest stuff I've EVER drank. Mixed with cold lemon lime Gatorade and just had to keep drinking without breathing thru nose till it was gone. Took first dose at 6:30 pm and when I took second dose at 8:30 pm I almost didn't get it all down. Part of it came back up. Started working 30 mins after first dose and worked a lot quicker than I expected. That part I liked. Did have the chills while taking it and felt bloated from all the water which the water was easy for me to drink that amount of. But that taste....how in the world could some say it even remotely tasted like watered down grape? Tasted like pure nastiness!!!"


"This was the worst tasting bowel prep I've ever used (and I've had 3-4 previous colonoscopies).  The taste is incredibly disgusting and nauseating and I don't know how I didn't vomit.  It cleaned me out very well, but I almost had an accident with the explosive diarrhea."


"Just one 12.5 mg of this and it works in about 30mins. However I get the worst anxiety attacks I have ever had! I'm not kidding. The anxiety lasts for 3 to 4 days from just one dose. It feels like I am having a heart attack or worse!  I keep thinking how do people take this stuff everyday? Today I had not had any and it was day 4. I felt great but wanted to poop fast so I could go to the beach. Forget it. In 5 hours I was right back with the heart attack. It also makes my bones hurt. If I bump into anything it feels like I broke the bone! So then I have to live with the anxiety  while putting ice on whatever I bump. I'm not even bumping anything hard. It happens when I just brush against a door. I'm going back to Magnesium powder."


"Initially, I was put on Lexapro and Klonopin (.5 mg 4 times a day) for panic disorder. After a few months, I was able to take the Klonopin as needed, usually once a day, and experienced very few symptoms of panic. After a year, I was feeling a lot better and decided to come off of it. The Lexapro really did help so much with my panic attacks, but I still had generalized anxiety. After a lot of therapy and lifestyle changes, my GAD was very well-managed and I was able to come off of Lexapro. 2 months down the road, I had a huge relapse due to a medical crisis and my doctor put me back on Lexapro. It pooped out and I was experiencing severe anxiety. I was on this medication 3 times for a total of 5 years."


"After about 2 months this medication started working. Previously I had acne on my forehead and cysts would sometimes appear on my cheeks. It was the clearest it had been in years and it was working very well. Fast forward 8 months from the starting date and my acne was back to where it began. It was very disappointing for it to work and then stop working."


"I started Phentermine 30mg capsules 7/22/2016 weighing in at 274 and today 7/29/2016 weighing in at 266!!!!!"


"I sweat excessively and I thought drysol was my only option left and when I used it first I didn't sweat at all but then I had an allergic reaction to it and needed to stop immediately. Now I'm a bag of sweat. Great."


"I was battling depression along with panic attacks.  They first had me on Xanax.  After a while wanted to get off that but was still having panic attacks.  Not 1 since I started Ativan. Also I find it much easier to focus and get things done now."


"I have been very against any kind of mental health medication, and was very reluctant to try amitryptaline, but my anxiety and insomnia were eroding my quality of life. This has literally been a wonder drug for me, and on such a low dosage. 20mg at night and 10mg each morning. My anxiety is greatly reduced, and intrusive nagging thoughts have vanished. I don't know if this is because I am now sleeping well for the first time ever, or because of the mild sedating effects. But whatever, it certainly works, and I was so sure it wouldn't. Only side effect is a dry mouth, but that's easily remedied with a sip of water.

A very positive experience. It really has changed my life for the better."


"I used this twice and was taken to A & E with anaphylactic reaction to the product, be aware if you have onset of itchy skin, within 20 mins I was taken to hospital."


"I believe that Lexapro saved my life. I'm only 21 and I have suffered with Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, and very severe depression. I got so depressed I gave up on everything, I walked away from my job over a simple argument. I simply just quit caring, I let my car get repossessed and I had to declare bankruptcy. I felt so worthless in the world, my doctor kept prescribing ativan, valium, and xanax. Those medications only helped short term. I gave up on life altogether, I drank constantly and quit taking my insulin (Type 1 Diabetes.) My doctor finally prescribed Topamax which caused me to get worse. My doctor got replaced and the new doctor prescribed Lexapro. I am now happy, I got a great job and I have reestablished myself."


"I was put on this med back in 2013 as a trial and error. (I have a kidney disease and high blood pressure) - I was also suffering from heavy periods/ovulation pain. So I went on it. And then stopped because it caused my BP to raise after 3 months.

I then tried again in 2016 because I was already on a beta blocker. I have bad break outs, low sex drive, bloating, periods are spotty and went from every 28 days to 22 days. I'm very moody and emotional."


"Started taking Lyrica due to nerve damage suffered during surgery, 75mg twice a day. It provided relief for about 3 weeks, before pain returned. Have now been on 150mg twice a day for about 8 weeks - no pain, but the side effects are horrendous: dizziness, brain fog and worst of all is incontinence. So I now have to decide whether to reduce the dose and go back to having pain but no side effects, or be pain free but incontinent and out of it."


"I took Bactrim for a month and I quickly saw the cystic acne disappear. So I started to reduce the dosage to 1 pill a day, then I stopped. In all, I was on the medication for a period of 2 months because I didn't like the idea of taking antibiotics for a large period of time. Recently, I've been having minor breakouts, but I'm paranoid. I am afraid to get filled with cystic acne again. So I decided to start retaking the antibiotics since I still have a couple of refills. Unfortunately I don't have health insurance anymore and I can't follow up with any Dr. "


"I had a bad experience on Christmas day. I got a sudden Kidney infection that spread through my whole body over night and My body was septic. It attacked my Gall Bladder and I had emergency exploratory surgery to look for more problems. When I finally went home 7 days later I couldn't sit still. I have 3 kids and a house to keep up. My husband was laid off 2 weeks before but wasn't much help. So regardless of the pain from surgery I was up cleaning, and crawling around my kids rooms picking up Christmas toys. It made my pain worse and I would panic because I couldn't get the house chores done quick enough. My doctor put me on Ativan 0.5mg and then I could sit still and heal without feeling bad about myself for it. It works well for me. It's great."


"After trying other antibiotics.
This was the only one that worked.
The Doctor tried to tell me it would not work for Sinusitis.
It is the only antibiotic that takes it away for me."


"This medication did not work for me at all. I still have trouble sleeping and I cannot sleep even with this medication. I am on the 50mg dosage, seems like I need something stronger."


"I have had chronic constipation for twenty years.. I have tried everything. Zelmorm was the only thing I ever found that worked. As we all know they took it off the market in 2007.. I have been suffering ever since. Until now! I have only been on Linzess for two days and have had 3 bowl movements with no bad side effects. I'm excited about this new medicine. I'm hoping and praying it continues to work. Give it a try its definitely worth it. Good luck."


"I developed pneumonia after being treated in the hospital for an anaphylactic allergic response. Within a few days my oxygen was down to 92%. I was almost hospitalized, but begged the doc to let me stay out as it was 5 days until Christmas. I was prescribed a 5 day Z-Pak (Azithromycin). Today is day 3, I'm finally starting to feel better. Only side effect so far have been slightly loose stools, and a rapid pulse. (I'm 35 and otherwise healthy) I find I got stomach pains within an hour of taking it, so today I ate before I took it and that helped."


"I have had Skyla for about 4 months now. Best decision I have made! I love not worrying about taking the pill or freaking out if I missed the time I was supposed to take it. The day of insertion was a little painful but I like to describe it as a bad period day. I did take the day off, I used a heating pad to relieve some pain and the next day I felt fine. I would highly recommend."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I use Midrin for my  Migraines and it is on the Market but not every pharmacy carries it."


"I have used Diamox for over 20 years as a "Seizure Control Drug" for Epilepsy.  In this time I have found it a very effective drug.

One side effect I did experience was the drug Tegretol in tandem with Diamox did not allow the Diamox to work effectively. This was soon discovered and Tegretol was stopped."


"Been on Lexapro 10 mg for 3 days now and the panic attacks went away but still have times where I feel like curling up in a ball and crying. I'm really jittery and feel like sleeping all the time. I'm hanging in there to see if it works...wish me luck!"


"I have been using B-12 inject for close to twenty years. I suffer from thyroid problems and am currently treaded with pills. I  also have goiter,  fibromyaliga, RHA, osteo being tested for kupus (which is almost a yes for sure) panic disorder chronic. and several other minor thing. My body is in daily pain. I use 1500 cc of b12. this aides in pain relief. as well as mood enhancer also puts u down when ur too highly strung. It also keeps ur skin so pretty. I go weeks when sometimes I forget to take it and  my body to screams  "please get me  the b12." it seems to run ur nervous system. and pain. I take this to ease some parts of pain for what it works on. When the weather is nice 1000 cc a month. it seems to be keeping me normal. love it...."


"I have been having a hell of a time finding the right b.c!! Major mood swings cramps nonstop bleeding no sex drive, but so far i like aviane im on my second month, i am no longer bleeding(first pack i did for awhile but my body had to adjust ) no moodswings normal sex drive,breasts a bit tender and larger (not mad about that) appetite a bit bigger but for me thats good I need the gain weight"


"I was skeptical about trying this medicine but it is actually very good. It's a lot stronger than Lortab. I am pain free. "


"This is my first line of defense when my allergy induced asthma is out of control. Rescue inhalers have not worked for me; I cannot pull the medicine into my lungs when I am constricted. By day 2 of the dosepak, I have significant relief and can usually go off of routine nebulized bronchodilators within 6 days. Unfortunately, my doctors do not like to prescribe steroids 3-4 times/year as needed even though I have shown them it works for me."


"I used to have really bad cramping and a really heavy flow before I started this birth control. I've been taking it for a year now and my period is only four days compared to the week and a half it used to be. I did gain a bit of weight, but it was all in the boobs area. Love this birth control!"


"I took Dulera 200 for about 3 months.  After a month I experienced heart palpitations (heart rate from 80 to 188 in seconds).  At first it would only last 2-3 minutes.  Then palpitations lasted over an hour, then two hours.  Ended up in the ER four times, twice to receive an IV drug to reset and slow my heart beat.  Cardiologist at the hospital put me on Diltiazem to control my heart rate.  It lowered blood pressure (was already good), but did not stop heart palpitations.  Began having breathing problems and doctor increased Diltiazem dosage.  Experienced worse breathing issues and loss of bladder control.  Finally realized the Diltiazem caused breathing problems and Dulera was causing the racing heart palpitations.  Nightmare!"


"Hi! I would like to add my experience with taking Azurette. I have taken it for 4 years and it is honestly a great option. I had normal period flows before getting on birth control (7 days), but severe cramps. Azurette completely relieved me of cramps and my periods were lighter (3-4 days). Here's why I can't give it a 10: I do feel more moody - not bursting into tears every other day, but slightly more snappy/angry/sensitive to things that otherwise wouldn't bother me so much. I've had to learn to control that, but it's annoying. Sex drive over time has decreased - but I'm also a lot more stressed since starting my career (I'm 26). Lastly, I decided that worrying about daily pills is also annoying."


"Was prescribed  Tessalon Pers. following E.R. visit for Bronchospasm / Bronchitis.  It works well for controlling the cough.....However, caused G.I. Upset after using it for a few days.  Therefore, stopped taking it.  Worked well for one problem.....caused another.  Will be taking Mucinex today and hope for relief without having to spend so much time in the bathroom !!  Thank you ~"


"Depakote was a nightmare.  Besides having acute, non-stop stomach pain with chronic diahrrea, my hair started falling out in clumps.  Good thing I have thick hair or I could have been bald at the end of this drug.  I don't recommend this to anyone.  It was like taking poison."


"The procedure feels like a pap smear + 3 intense cramps (nothing worse than bad period cramps). Then it's done! I felt a little uncomfortable for 1.5 days and I was back to work on Monday. I had spotting for about 2-3 weeks after the procedure. I spotted during my normal period week for the next 5-6 months, but very light and not like a full on period at all. I have now stopped getting my period all together but I experience just 1 PMS symptom when I'd normally have my period-- not cramps or moodiness, just sore breasts. I've lost 10 lbs. since having the Mirena put in. Best decision ever! Took a while to adjust to the lower dose of hormones, but no more expensive pills/forgetting to take my pill/periods/moodiness from high-dose hormones."


"I started taken Prozac 20mg a day for nearly 6 years! I stopped taking them 7 months ago as I thought I didn't need them anymore, since I've stopped taking them I've become really agrophobic, really depressed, can't stop crying, I've just shut my self away. I'm thinking off starting Prozac again."


"This medicine can ruin your ability to think.I would walk in to a room,and forget the last 5 minutes.I had to reduce the medication by 40%,and am now tapering at 10% month to fend off sudden withdrawal symptoms."


"I have been on DEPROVERA shot for about a year and a half. It works of course. But I have recently decided to quit with the shots because of the horrible side effects. I have headaches every single day. I just want to sleep and that's all I want to do. Im a very active person so that was easy to notice. Also, I get horrible shooting pains that is in my lower stomach and back."


"I am a 40 yr old female with heavy bleeding and painful ovarian cysts. My gyn recommended this pill. I almost completed my sample pack. I am on the 2ndbrown pill and awaiting my period. It makes me nervous when I don't see my period. At least I am happy to read that I will see my period when I take the third brown pill. I have to say that the first month was rough. I had very bad headaches and I noticed I was very moody and even felt depressed. I did not experience any nausea or weight gain. I will stick it out for three months and see what will happen"


"Was switched to this after the generic version by ranbaxy was discontinued. Developed symptoms of tolerance straightaway. It causes my brain to scream out in pain all the time and I keep getting unwanted thoughts. I also developed muscular aches and pains all over and other drugs just kept causing my muscles to contract and be unable to relax. I tried stopping many times but kept returning cuz of the nausea and vomiting and all the other symptoms above. I have been off it for about three months and have been back on it for three days. Already I hear my brain screaming out in pain and the unwanted thoughts return. The muscle aches seem to occur only in conjunction with another drug. I am taking it only because of the grief I feel in my heart"


"when I was 14 years old and have been getting acne for a little under a year, so when my dermatologist recommended solodyn, I was very pleased, but being on this medication for less than a week, I have to say I would not recommend it. The joint pain I got in my knee was unbearable, and it also gave me random anxiety attacks, as well as mild depression. Very disappointed:("


"Was diagnosed  with  panic attacks  after I lost my dad. After going to ER and spending Night  in hospial. Was given ativan until I could see my doctor who prescribed sertraline 50mg for 7 days then 100mg. Had every side affect. It felt like panic was worse at first. But after 4 wks on full dose. All was gone. I've been at 100 MG for about 10 months. And I feel great. Even some fears I had before my attacks like highs are better. My advice stick with it it does work."


"Have been on this medication for about 1 and a half years. Severe neuropathy in both ankles and feet, degenerative disc disease in 2004\, several broken bones over the years from horseback riding. This medicine has given me my life back after suffering with chronic pain for years. Take 120mg of Oxycontin twice a day and 30 mg of oxycodone four times a day for breakthrough pain. Am able to work 12 hour night shifts and get on with my life due to this drug. Without it I would not be able to do anything other than be in misery. "


"I was prescribed 0.25mg of Xanax for my hyper-anxiety and panic attacks.  As a 200lb man I needed a 0.5mg dose.  Xanax really solves panic attacks well, and noticeably helps with my anxiety.  It makes it much easier to fall asleep which is great at bedtime, but can be a real problem in the morning.  Reading "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns also really helped treat the thoughts that led to panic and anxiety."


"I was diagnosed with MS in late December 2013.  I started taking Copaxone the summer of 2014. I started off using the daily 20mg, then I switched over to the 40mg because I didn't want to give myself a daily injection. When I first started the 40mg, the side effects included sore injection site welts. Overtime, the side effects became worse. Now, every time I take the 40mg, I get very sore, itchy welts at the injection site, along with patches of itchy, rash bumps on certain parts of my body.  The other side effects happen randomly after an injection.  These include severe body aches and chills.  The symptoms are fever-like.  Other than that I feel an increase in my energy levels since taking Copaxone and my MS lesions have not spread."


"Easy to take haven't felt any side effects. No secondary infection.   12.5 years experience used with CellCept and for a while with Prednisone."


"Have tried this for several months at a time, about a year apart. I'm 37 with 3 kids and more acne than when I was 15. It somewhat helps with NO drying, which is a nice change from most other topicals. BUT it totally bleaches out any fabrics your fingers or face come into contact with, even when I thought I was careful. My pillow cases are stained out from this, as are my towels. (Iits applied at night, hence the pillow). My bumpy face is smoother, but pimples still present, despite a thorough cleansing regimen with high-quality natural cleansers."


"I have been taking Victoza 1.2mg for about a year along with 1000mg Metformin 2x per day. When I first started it I was on the 0.6mg dose and I had zero side effects but since upping to 1.2mg I have had constant nausea and very little appetite. I occasionally will get powerful sulfur burps followed by vomiting. The medicine does keep my sugar under control, my last A1C was 6.0. "


"So I have experienced constipation ever since I was a kid, I am now 21, and have to regularly take lactulose liquid around once a week. I need something stronger for medication induced constipation and decided to take Ducolax in the morning around 11 to achieve a result by the evening. After dinner at 6 I felt completely cleaned out and had some minor cramping before dinner, however drinking lots of water seemed to make things move faster. I wouldn't recommend taking it all the time because it is strong but for constipation that won't budge with anything else, this works."


"It took a while for me to get the courage to go to see a psychiatrist.  I finally decided I had to get my life back.  I wasn't cooking for my family, taking care of my house, contacting friends, even able to make it through my day at work without hiding in the bathroom to cry.  Fluoxetine has helped me calm down and get my life back again.  My doctor started me out slow, 5 mg to start.  I felt funny a few days.  Then when I upped it to 10 mg I once again felt funny for a few days, but now I feel I  have way more good days than bad. It's only been 3 1/2 weeks but I'm so thankful that I started taking it."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been talking Pradaxa for 2 months.  I take with a full glass of water and have no side effects.  Definitely, it is better than Coumadin.  I have a glass of wine once in a while and have had no side effects."


"For a month after starting this drug I was very cold especially my legs, and could not get warm, and I was very shaky and trembley.  I felt miserable and didn't realize what was wrong until I stopped the drug and everything went back to normal right away. "


"I am an addict and suffer from anxiety and insomnia.   This was the only medicine that is not a benzodiazapine that has worked for me.  It allows me to fall asleep - not pass out and wake up feeling rejuvenated.  I highly recommend it."


"Day two and I already can breathe out of both nostrils!. My stomach feels a little weird but not terrible. 875 X 2"


"I have to say I really love this medication. I have migraines 4 to 6 times a month. I try not to take it all the time due to me having hot and cold flashes. The first time I took it my head felt like I put  something icy and hot on my brain. It's now going on a year and I still get hot and cold flashes but the side effects are worth it. I can work with being hot and cold. With my migraines I just want to lay in a ball and cry but know I can't because it will make it worst. This pill is a lot of money. I just wish it would come down in price."


"I've been on this med for almost 6 months and the release of the chemicals is beneficial for me. But at times like any other med it seems not to work as well.  But I too perish with anxiety and major depression.  I have been diag.with fibromyalgia and what I call it.MDDWAD.Short for major depressive situations.I come to realize this med is helping me with my anxiety issues.  Who knew. Since  I have found this site now I know.  I too must keep this med going for as long as possible.Note.I do need something for pain that is more efficient but one day at a time.Right.Thanks for listening."


"I have been on Savella for about 2 weeks now and I have not had any side effects..  Today I feel a bit tired but other then that I really like how most of my pain is gone and also have lost about 15 lbs in about 2 1/2 weeks..  I am really happy that I am able to move around like normal.  Yes I do give myself time to relax that is the key when having this fibromyalgia.  I give Savella 2 thumbs up."


"I had this particular IUD placed on Monday. So I've only had it a day. I have had a child and also have endometriosis. I experienced mild pain during insertion, 4-5/10. I had a lot of cramping and uterine spasms yesterday after it was put in. My Dr says that it will help with my symptoms of endometriosis and obviously prevent pregnancy. Today being the 2nd with this IUD I have had intermittent cramping. My cramps seem to be worse in the evening, I guess because I keep myself occupied during the day with work. My cramping is nothing that ibuprofen doesn't help. I have had spotting and was not in my period during insertion. I have felt a bit bloated but that's slowly starting to resolve. I would recommend this device."


"I have been taking Intellence for well over 6 years now.  I have not noticed any side effects over that time span.  However, recently (within the last 5 months) I have found it increasingly difficult to swallow the tablets.  I believe the problem stems not so much from the size of the tablet (THE LARGEST OF THE 5 PROTEASE INHIBITORS I TAKE), but more so from its rapid breakdown when it comes in contact with water.  When ever I take the pill it now tends to stick/get caught somewhere in my throat; as if it is touched the wall of my throat and wants to adhere to it (thereby stimulating my gag reflex).  MAYBE IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PUT SOME EXTERNAL COATING ON THE PILL THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE ALLEVIATED."


"I used it before with moderate success but when I couldn't afford more I eventually started smoking again.

This time I am smoke free 8 weeks and 3 days as of today.  With no cheats, important to me.

Side effects, must eat a good meal in the morning or will get horribly ill with nausea and strange cramps.  Other than that none.  Had the dreams last time.

I want to taper off but afraid the cravings will return so I will continue until I feel stronger.

Hope they never ban this product in the US."


"Zoloft saved my life and my marriage. I am so grateful to the doctor who put me on this 9 weeks ago. A few side effects at start up but that went away in a matter of days and it has been smooth sailing since. Tons of energy, up early, great sleep, and I'm not binge eating. I've even lost 8.5 lbs. I was skeptical at first and hated the fact that I needed medication for anxiety and depression, but I'm really glad I gave it a shot. For now, I will continue on this medication."


"It saved my life! I can't say enough good about this medication. It ceased the panic attacks in a few days. I highly recommend this medication."


"I've been on low ogestrel since 2012 after getting a double oophorectomy done and I love it. A menstrual cycle once every 3 months is nice. Rarely have any random bleeding(only once since prescribed). The only issues I find with it is I'm very dry and sexual intercourse isn't fun anymore. I'very also noticed a decline in sexual desire. I NEVER feel in the "mood" and I'm 24, so this is making relationships difficult. Overall it's a great birth control, but if you can't get pregnant like me (due to no ovaries) I would ask your Dr for something more natural. Too many other cancer risks with this drug."


"Awesome - don't use it too often. One tube lasts a while. "


"I have been on metropolol XL for 4 months and my hairdresser noticed 2 large alopecia (bald) spots....one on the back of my head and one that is pink and on top of my head. I have stopped it and have an appointment with a dermatologist next week. Am scared to death that more is going to fall out! Anybody else experience bald spots?"
