"My 9 yr old son starting taking this medicine 1 month ago. He was on Medadate CD for 3 yrs before this. It has been wonderful so far.  His grades, homework time, handwriting, behavior and overall outlook on things have changed for the better.  The side effects are no appetite and trouble settling down at night but they are getting better. My only advise is to feed them a very good breakfast before giving the medicine and have good meal waiting when they come off."


"I love it. I've been on one other pill as well as the Depo-Provera, which was horrible! Sprintec has made me hungry and gain weight and very hard to lose the weight but all in all it's a great pill. No other side effects."


"I am 31 years old and have been taking diltiazem 120 mg for 4 months now, after the other medications' side effects kept me from being able to function at home and work. It is partly effective at treating my supraventricular tachycardia, but it caused me to develop acne all over my chest, abdomen, shoulders and entire back. I have stop taking the medication 2 days ago to see if the acne begins to reside. I have a cardiac ablation scheduled for a week and a half from today, and will hopefully be off all medication if it is a successful procedure."


"Had back surgery. Disc replacement. Back spine fusion."


"I have had botox for the last 5 years for this condition and I have to say I have never looked back! Each time I have a longer gap between procedures, 3 so far, and  it seems to improve every time. I had vesicare before this and I had a really bad reaction to it so botox was my offered option. I would never hesitate to recommend botox!"


"This medicine does wonders with making my blood sugar lower; however, I had extreme diarrhea and I felt nauseous for awhile. My doctor put me on slow release and while it helped me with diarrhea, my blood sugar would always be higher so I switch back to the regular kind and I am still having extreme diarrhea. Other than that this medicine is great."


"After only four applications of hydroquinone, I developed severe irritation, itching, rash and subsequent brown blotchy spots on my face.  My dermatologist said it was not the cream, that I had just not noticed the brown spots before. I definitely had an allergic reaction.  Perhaps I am a rare case, but suggest a test patch for everyone. Thank you."


"I loved the shot as far as having no periods at all! But that was the only good thing about it. My hair fell out like crazy, lots of hair loss while brushing my hair, shampooing and just touching it. And it didnt stop. I have only had one shot which lasted for the 3 months and since day one of the shot my hair has fallen out. It used to be so thick, now my hair is thin. Not only hair loss, I had terrible terrible mood swings. Mad for no reason all the time. I have spoken to other people that took this and they said the hair loss never gets better, only worse. I did not gain weight, I was hoping to as I weigh 112, but I did not gain in 3 months time.  I am not going back for my second shot, the hair loss and mood swings is not worth it."


"I am 26 and have been on this birth control for 4 months. One of the main reasons I am on birth control is for acne this pill has cleared up my face. My periods are lighter and over all my mood is stable, a little more needy and cry a little more (con). And I have noticed I am darker skin tone since I've been on this pill (tan with out tanning, this is a plus and this is a listed side effect) no weight gain. The Cons- my hair on my head has thinned out alot and I have noticed more facial hair(some neck hairs and a noticeable mustache that weren't there b4 this pill), I even bought nioxin for my hair. My sex drive isn't horrible but it has decreased for sure. Switching pills."


"I was given Tramadol about 12 years ago for endometriosis and severe menstrual cramping. It has made me feel so much better overall ..it works wonders for my mood, anxiety, and depression. I am a better person because of this drug. I am motivated, and feel great ..all the time. This has changed my life for the better."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Really helps in the morning but seems to wear off rather quickly. I will try an additional dose in the afternoon."


"I know this birth control has had some rocky reviews, but I swear when I say it changed my life. After being on birth control for four years I started having a period that wouldn't stop. I underwent exploratory surgery, tried many different birth controls and nothing was helping or giving us answers as to why. I have severe ovarian cysts that start forming immediately if I am not on birth control, so I have a choice of finding a birth control that works or being in and out of the hospital in severe pain and rupturing cysts. Finally my gynecologist suggest Taytulla. I was skeptical because after trying five different birth controls I was losing hope. Two days after starting Taytulla my constant bleeding stopped."


"It allowed me to at least sleep better & I don't bruise as easy anymore...but it didn't relieve my swollen ankles, increase my energy, or start my hair to regrow."


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"Had great results with this medication."


"This is my first ever review on this site, but felt it was necessary. I have Crohn's disease, fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, and I am only 21 years old. I have been on Lyrica for about 2 months, best 2 months of my life. I have tried every medicine you could think of, minus pain killers. I am no longer constantly fatigued, anxiety, paranoia, pain levels drastically dropped, for the first time in my life I actually have thoughts racing through my brain, not one single panic attack, list goes on. I know a lot of people want to hear this, I have LOST weight like crazy, and have same sex drive. Try this before ANY antidepressant. Talking is sometimes harder for me, small price to pay though. I couldn't be happier with my life."


"After 12 years of dealing with EVERY DAY a tugging and pulling feeling in my brain, causing me to be determined disabled. I have a new doctor who yesterday started me on 10mg Elavil.  I came to this website to read the comments to see if I dared believe that I could be feeling like I was finally given a miracle that might cure my diagnosed "transformed migraine" condition!  TODAY, for the FIRST time in 12 years, there is no debilitating tugging and pulling, although I feel sleepy and I do feel a slight steady "pull"."


"I had no idea my physician prescribed this to me for migraines. I was initially prescribed this for hypertension. I also have migraines, but since taking this, my headaches have decreased dramatically. I rarely have a migraine any more. It's been a blessing! I love this medication. It's worked wonders for my quality of life."


"I cover my pill with peanut butter completely & then take it. That nasty taste doesn't get in your mouth. If I don't do that then I feel like I'm going to spit it right back up.  Just thought I would share that."


"I have been off and on Lunesta 3mg for over 10 years.

The reason I get off of it, I gain a tolerance to it, so I have to try something else so I can get Lunesta out of my system. Usually I get on Valium 10mg or stronger because nothing else works.

I can stay awake for weeks. Yes, weeks.

My longest time staying awake, 20 days.

Lunesta works for a lot of people, I just have a high tolerance to most medications."


"My neurologist prescribed me this drug at 600mg at night for my chronic, daily migraines and it is quite literally, a god send. It helms with migraine prevention, anxiety, and even helped with my chronic pelvic pain before my hysterectomy! Taken w/ my 100mg of Topamax, I get maybe one or two migraines a MONTH! I used to have DAILY migraines that required Toradol and Phenergan injections to kill. I will say the only downside was that I gained a pound or two but nothing exercise can't squash. Overall, GREAT drug. Highly recommended if you suffer from chronic migraines!!"


"Did nothing for Bp but does cause ankles and feet to swell a lot.  Thought I gained weight (happily) nope, it was the fluid retention caused by amlodipine.  That's not great because fluid retention can make Bp rise."


"I had congestive heart failure 6 years ago. In my opinion Coreg has saved my life.   I thank God, my cardiologist informed me of this drug."


"I've been reading the reviews 5 minutes after I inserted the cream in. At first I thought I was too much of a pussy not being tough enough to endure to burning pain. I admit, I'm still a wuss, but Do not try this cream. It hurts so bad beyond what you can take. The worst part of my story is, my GYN doc was the one who told me to get it!!!!!!!! WHAT THE F***!! I followed every protocol, I called, made an appointment, met with the doc, got the recommended treatment. What part did I do wrong???? It's so painful!!!! Is it a punishment rather than treatment for not taking care of myself well enough?????? Not getting it ever again, I don't care about the pill side effect anymore! What could be worse than this on-fire feeling???"


"Sophomore year of college, literally over a couple weeks, I developed severe acne all over my cheeks. I went to the dermatologist and they gave me Differin. I definitely would wake up and need to put lotion on my face because my face was visibly dry and had dead skin coming off. After about a month, I started seeing results and had less pimples on my face. After about 6 months my face was clear, but I still had acne scars. I had treatments done at the dermatologist to help those. It's been 5 years and now I get complemented for my skin all the time. It's great! Still using Differin every other week and Cetaphil face lotion every day."


"I eat right after I take Byetta and if I stay away from the fatty greasy food I do not have any problems with loose stools. I love the fact my HUGE hunger is now GONE! I lost about 8 lbs but, gained only one pound back after Thanksgiving. "


"I have had migraines since age 19, at that time etiology unknown, but at 34 I was in an auto accident and found to have moderately severe scoliosis, and in 2006 I required a L4-5 S1 spinal fusion. I can control most migraines with either oral rizatriptan or rescue injections of sumatriptan, but 12/2014 I had a bilateral mastectomy for cancer with clearn margins and no involved lymph nodes. The added stress this past year caused severe migraines not responsive to injections. After numerous ER visits my primary physician prescribed 5mg oral Reglan prn nausea with migraine, and I now have relief with one-half tablet and sumatriptan injection. Reglan is sedating, calming, and I have 80% success in migraine relief."


"I had the Implanon put in 6 months after having my son in 09. It didn't hurt when they put it in just a little sore. After that I let my body get adjusted to it but on down the line my periods were light and only last 3-7 days and I go a whole month without having a period. The only bad part about the birth control is that I have very bad mood swings, and my acne comes and goes and I have gained weight and I go to the gym every night but no changes// uggggh."


"taking wean down dosage over six days after being treated for Quincy abscess of a tonsil. The drug relieved the pain so that I was able to talk and swallow again within 8 hours of injection IV. Out of the hospital by a day on the wean down pills I notice former inflammation of bursitis of hip,knee and golfers elbow are being relieved also.  The only adverse side effect I now notice is near insomnia but I feel so well again and energetic. 3 days on the drug now and will end by taper down in 4 more days. 1.5mg pills at first two at a time twice per day."


"Worked well enough to stop taking any of the erectile dysfunction prescriptions that I was taking. Very pricey."


"After 4 unsuccessful medications, this one made me the most balanced and even."


"I have been on Lexapro 5mg (yes that's it) for over 3 months now and I'm ready to throw in the towel. First, let me say my anxiety has been greatly reduced. But at what cost? I am a zombie-I have no motivation to do anything and I'm always in a foggy state. My performance at work has greatly suffered, along with my cognitive ability. Social anxiety has gotten worse only because I'm a recluse - just too tired and unmotivated to interact with people! Frequent and strong anhedonia. I wouldn't advise you not to try lexapro- it is well regarded and often effective. But be cautious as doctors don't get that there are side effects to this besides sexual ones. I felt the same after one week as I do now but I was continually told it would go away"


"Before anyone agrees to taking Effexor (venlafaxine), please look at the withdrawl symptoms. The symptoms and experience has been likened to heroin or opiate addiction withdrawl. Please do your research and regardless of what your doctor tells you, THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES!

I hope this helps someone."


"I was prescribed Metformin in combination with Clomid - not sure if it's working yet. It has upset my stomach whether I take it with food or not. Other than that, I haven't experienced any side effects."


"It's kept me to where I cannot have kids which is a good thing. Sex drive is still as usual. The weird part is I don't get periods anymore. Which has caused me to fear I was pregnant, but otherwise it's fine. I have symptoms of menapause, but I am an 18 year old girl so I can't have it just yet my guess is the side effects?"


"I take the ER form of the drug and percocet for the break through pain. I have inoperable arthritis in my neck. After two operations it has been decided that it won't kill me, but I will die with it. I rotate various drugs to avoid the dependancy and tolerance problems. I go to a medical school pain clinic and the care has been a life saver. I would strongly recommend anybody with chronic pain to go to a pain clinic. There is a lot of procedures that the average MD is just not aware of."


"I have been on Savella 12.5mg for three weeks. The horrible aching in my legs that kept me up at night is gone however the pain in neck and shoulders still there. I also have degenerative osteoarthritis (herniated discs) in my lower back. The one thing I noticed with this medication is that I sleep better at night. So far, only dry mouth is a side effect and this is great since I am very sensitive to many medications."


"I have always lived with anxiety and was taking Zoloft daily. I had a car accident in May that spiraled my anxiety out of control. My doctor put me on this in addition to Zoloft.  Not only has hydroxyzine helped with my anxiety, It has prevented me from having panic attacks and allowed me to wean off the Zoloft.  My panic attacks used to also make me nauseous and Hydroxyzine prevents that.  I have had no side effects at all.  Zoloft side effects were weight gain and diarrhea."


"Works well, no side effects."


"I got terribly ill after taking this drug, had a terrible burning bladder infection and had to go every 45 minutes.  I was in agony.  I will not try this drug again as it was not worth it for me.  Good luck to others."


"I had it for a year, I had never experienced migraines until I got this in, Now I constantly have headache! I cannot wait to get this out! I would bleed every 6 weeks for 2 weeks at a time. NO SEX DRIVE, Moody and grumpy all the time. This is the worst form of contraceptive I have ever had. I will NEVER recommend this to anyone."


"I started taking Lexapro about 7 weeks ago after an extremely traumatic unexpected loss of my long term boyfriend who i lived with. I was not functioning or able to deal with life before I got on Lexapro. I couldn't  stop overwhelming thoughts, anxiety, crying.  I couldn't face life.  Lexapro has helped me begin the process of healing In a healthy way and resume life. I don't feel any different other than I have rational thoughts and I am in control of my emotions. I know I would not be moving forward in a positive manner of it wasn't for this medication.  The change was like day and night and I am thankful."


"Sadly this medication gave no relief at all and actually made things worse... Severe nausea and vomiting on top of constant diarrhea, not an easy thing to multi task if you know what I mean. But hey, all meds work differently for different people. Hope others had better luck than I did."


"My 63 year old mom was diagnosed with the EGFR gene mutation, stage iv lung cancer 4 months ago.  The cancer was also in her brain , lung and bone. Since Tarceva started she has done extremely well. Her recent scan showed a 70% decrease of tumor size on the lung, the spot on the liver is gone and the ones on her brain are slowly getting smaller, even with a direct hit of full brain radiation. She has had some side effects such as rash, which she was very annoyed with but went away, diarrhea which she still has and recently stomach pain. Hoping it subsides."


"My cardiologist recommend this drug to relieve shortness of breath at night due to atrial fibrillation. The sublingual 0.4 mg tablet gives a slight burning sensation under the tongue, which is not uncomfortable. A slight headache was felt on the forehead but was of short duration. The immediate dilation of the blood vessels achieves relief within one minute. Very positive results."


"The drug works. I needed to exercise.  Without exercise I experience headaches and weird dreams. But when I get out and walk, I feel much much better and the weight comes off faster to. I went from 265lb down to 195lb and my enthusiasm for walking and finally hitting the gym, increased.  I lost all the cravings and especially the feeling that I'm hungry all the time. That helped me get started. Then eating very little each day and exercising is the key. HOWEVER, don't stop taking the drug cold turkey. I did that, and I turned lethargic and my hunger and cravings for fast food, doughnuts, ice cream and sugary drinks hit twice as hard and I gained back 85 pounds. Now I have to start all over."


"I have a bulging disc at L4/L5 that's pinching nerves in my back. Surgeon told me he would rather me go on pain medicines than go through with spinal fusion surgery. I'd never even heard of Norco before, but it is seriously an amazing pain medicine. I also get epidural steroid injections which provide much needed pain relief. I take one Norco 10/325 when I wake up, then one before dinner. Just those two pills make a huge difference in me living a "normal" life again. Gave it a 9 because I wish it lasted longer so I didn't have to take 2 pills a day.)"


"I've been on Loestrin 24 FE for almost 2 years now and I love it. My periods went from a heavy week to a very light 2 days. I've had no negative side effects but when it comes down to birth control you just have to look around and see what form or brand suits you best. I'd recommend Loestrin any day of the week but you should still discuss it with your GYN."


"Had sexual intercourse the 25, NO birth control, NO Protection at all, and he Came in me completely! Took plan B! This happened  DURING /AFTER ovulating(more scary)! I was so scared !!! I took plan b the next morning, 12 hours later. For More than a week I had mild cramping, Milky-white discharge, nausea, it was so scared I'll be pregnant! I was expecting my period to come at the beginning of the month first week of March or so , my cycle is not regular, but my period came !! 9 days after taking plan b, as I expected . If you see white discharge don't freak out yet, I had it for almost 9 days. !! It WORKS !"


"I have had mild depression on and off for 3 years and have been taking 10mg Vivactil. A recent change in my circumstances means I have been experiencing anxiety attacks, not sleeping and very tearful. I took a 15mg tablet for the first time last night as directed and slept 9 hours solid. However I felt 'drunk' all day. Didn't feel safe to drive, unable to concentrate in work and eventually had to come home. I slept another 7 hours and only just feel 'normal' again. This drug is not for me! I wasn't able to function. Although I slept well and didn't have any panic attacks I couldn't remember where I had parked my car and I also forgot to eat. It's back to the GP for me"


"I was on this for 2 years. It was really good. I had very consistent, light periods with no major period symptoms. I liked being on this, but the one major drawback is my sex drive essentially disappeared. I had to get off it or risk my 7 year relationship as I had no desire to be intimate at all."


"I suffer from Severe depression/anxiety. Celexa for me is a miracle. Got my life back/sex drive through the roof! Little to no anxiety..no side effects other than some yawning/tired."


"Vyvanse is amazing. I've had it for about 4 months now and it's worked better than any other medicine I've tried. I am able to focus on the stuff I am doing and am able to stick with a task. I highly recommend it."


"Helps me a lot."


"I've had it in for a couple months so far it's been good. A little spotting every once in a while only hurt for a couple hours on the first day I got it put in. I'm 18 years old no kids. Works great I'm satisfied with it. Don't get long periods just about 2 hour long at the most. Partner says he doesn't feel string. Hurts ever once in a while."


"I have found that taking this medicine for 3 years, it has helped me move mountains to help myself. I do experience very few side effects. Constipation is the only side effect I experience on a regular basis and with that said, I would much rather deal with a little constipation than still be buying pills off the street, and being unhealthy. I have recommended it to every person I know with drug addiction. The few that were ready to stop have also sang its praises to me and any one they recommended it to. Even with the word of mouth, it has helped so many people in my community. "


"I've been on subutex for 5 years. I am now being tappered. I've been tappered 1 whole tablet in less then a month. I am trying my best to take care of my newborn and toddler. I have nobody at ALL that will help me with them so that I can come off. That's making me have panic attack, severe depression, and anxiety.  Does anybody have any helpful advice."


"Worse pills ever.. Took it for 3 months and never got my period (I'm not pregnant) I always feel sick and exhausted after a long day a lot of headaches and dizziness.  No sex drive. Don't try it"


"Excellent for sleep aid, seems to have significant effect on anxiety/depression as well.  Doctor prescribed for anxiety.  I cannot tell if constant anxiety created depression symptoms, or if anxiety is a sypmtom of depression.  Regardless, mood is better with good night's sleep and ability to forget troubles instead of mull them over endlessly."


"I've been on Reclipsen for almost 3 months and have been a little more emotional and cried a little more but nothing horrible on the emotional side. I just recently experienced breakthrough bleeding out of the blue - basically as much as a pad a day. Today is day 3 of this, not sure why this happens but apparently it's a common side effect (at least for the first 3 months) hopefully it won't continue or else I may have to switch. Otherwise so far so good with this pill."


"I really like this medicine because it calms my nerves right down. I am now entering week 3 of a rather bad episode of cyclic vomiting syndrome. (Started 5/3/12) but any how when I can keep them down these are the best for my nerves and reasonably priced as well."


"I hadn't been on birth control before the patch but my experience on it has been pretty pleasant. My period is a lot shorter and it comes exactly 3 days after I take my patch off for my week off. The only negative I have found is that I am way more emotional than I have ever been in my life. I cry way more often (when I'm wearing the patch and on my period). Which I find very strange since I had gone from not crying ever, to crying about once a week."


"I'm 19 years old and have been on Effexor for about 2 years now. The day before my High School graduation I went on it after having a huge panic attack and finally being diagnosed with anxiety (surprisingly I never knew I had it). This has given me my life back. I can't remember when my last panic attack was. I'd recommend it."


"It definitely helped with cramping and diarrhea but I still did have the occasional episode of diarrhea. However, after 5 months I'm back to where I started. I don't know how I feel about having to take an antibiotic every 5 months or if thats even recommended/safe."


"I have gotten bronchitis a few times. I have tried many other antibiotics, and none worked, biaxin is the only antibiotic I can take that actually works, personally the only side effects I ever experienced is a mild metallic taste in mouth, but it is not much of a big deal"


"I have a low-risk strain of HPV. I noticed 8 years ago a teeny tiny little white spot, size of a point of a ball point pen near the opening of my vagina. Never showed up in any STI tests, never passed to my partner of 7 years, had it even before I met him. 2 acid treatments didn't do the trick, was prescribed this. After 3 treatments, in the night I fell off the bed because my legs were numb, was super dizzy, blurred vision, flu like symptoms. I put vaseline around the area so the surrounding skin isnt touched with this cream, but the raw swollen skin has gone to the size of a quarter when it was the amount of a ball point pen area that I was treating, I stopped using it after 10 days (8 times used) lil wart is still there but smaller"


"In 1976 I became manic and was told I had everything but Bipolar Disease. After 12 awful years, several stays in the hospital, medicated with who knows what, a doctor saved my life with lithium and stated you are bipolar. I took Prozac, a new drug for five years, but have been taking Lithium since 1988. I do know it's the only reason I'm here."


"So far I'm losing weight only be using for a week."


"My doctor prescribed Camrese to lessen my increasing heavy periods (presumably due to perimenopause). I'm at the end of the sixth month taking this drug and have nothing positive to say about it. I've gained 10 pounds in 5 months and am depressed that it's summer and I can't fit in my size 4 clothes anymore. What's worse is that I've had consistent break through bleeding for the last 2 weeks and expecting the "forced" period next week. (I'm wondering if I should just DEAL with the uber heavy periods - at least they were predictable and only lasted 5-7 days). There was also 5 weeks of spotting during the first 3 months on this pill. Needless to say I'm consulting my ObGyn next week to try something different. This pill's not for me."

"I have been on Levora for about 2 years now, and I'm about to switch.  What I like about the pill is that it works great. I'm forgetful and haven't gotten pregnant. When I miss, I can't double up because I will get highly nauseous. I also have to take three months straight before I can take the placebo week. If not, I will wake up in the middle of the night on the first night back and throw up. Other issues I've had: nausea, headaches, weight gain, anxiety, excessive crying over nothing, I'm easily irritated and angered, increased hunger. The worst side effect however, has been my sex drive. It has completely gone. I have to talk myself into having sex with my husband. Not cool."


"I have tried many acne medications, but this is the only one that consistently worked for me. I took it for a few weeks, and I don't even have to use it anymore. My face is acne free. I didn't feel any side effects."


"I was addicted to any type of pill I could possibly find, from oxycodone to roxy and everything in between. My addiction ruined everything that I held precious to me and it lasted from the time I was 16 till I was 20. I withdrew cold turkey for a week and then finally got put on Suboxone. I was taking 3 8mg strip a day for 2 years. I have finally been off of it for almost a year now. The hardest part was coming off the Suboxone it took me about 6 to 8 months to completely come off of it. And slowly but surely I am now going to be 3 years sober. Suboxone saved my life and gave me everything back that I have ever wanted and more. I would recommend this medicine to anyone who is having problems with addiction. It was truly a God send."


"I had sling surgery for stress incontinence. I can laugh, cough, sneeze and no leakage. I had minimal urge incontinence, but since the surgery, the urge incontinence is 100% more. I need to go every 30 minutes and have to wear the thickest pad. I have been told that I can retrain my bladder/mind if I hold on until the urge goes away, this may take months to do. I am reluctant to have botox. Has anyone done this?"


"Strattera is the worst ADHD medicine I've ever been on!  I was originally on Ritalin (worked well, but not long enough), then on Vyvance (worked great but doctor didn't like my higher blood pressure) and now I'm finally off Strattera after being on it for 11 months, because it didn't work!  My doctor is concerned about high blood pressure that can trigger heart attacks and strokes.  I'm having lots of problems coming off the Strattera.  My doctor is not willing to help with a medication change.

Doctors don't know what it is like to experience the problems of ADHD and what we go through."


"I had my first grand mal at age 35.  I started taking 500mg of Keppra 1x a day and eventually worked down to 250mg 1x a day without any seizures.  My doctor and I decided to take me off the medicine as there has been no epilepsy detected in all the testing I have done.  After being off the medicine for 30 days I had another grand mal.  So, I started taking the minimal dosage of 1/2 of a 250mg pill once a day.  It has been over a year now and I have not had another seizure.  I do experience dizziness at the beginning of my day before I take my pill.  After a few hours I feel fine.  I also sometimes experience drowsiness, tiredness, agitation, anger, anxiety, depression, irritability and occasional panic attacks.   I'd rather have these than seizures!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"For 4 years I was on Yaz. I stopped when I got pregnant and waited over a year to get back on the pill. I couldn't handle even general PMS: bloating, cramping, achy body, emotional roller coaster, break-outs, not to mention feeling tired and irritable. So I went to my OB-GYN to get back on Yaz, but she prescribed BeYaz instead. "


"I didn't read the directions and started taking Chantix the day after I quit.  I had smoked for 33 years.  I only took Chantix for 2 weeks after quitting.  No side effects.  I was actually amazed how easy it was to quit.  Now been smoke free for 9 years!!!"


"I am taking this medicine for Tendonitis from shoulder to wrist. Before Naproxen I had zero strength and very minimal movement. After a week on Naproxen (after 2 hours) I have most movement and strength.

Side effects are nausea but it is mild. Apparently, the anti-inflammatory properties are just as beneficial to healing, as is the pain relief (relaxation of tendons). "


"I have hormonal acne and my skins not sensitive at all. I only used this for 1 week only every other day. this stuff seriously dried my face out so bad that not only did it dry my face out and make it burn and itch like crazy but it also gave me dermatitis. Absolutely the worst product ever!!!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Not that bad aftet worrying from reading reviews..
Not great tasting took few sips each time about 5 mins to get it down...started in 10 mins or so with bowel movements ...mostly water..and they slowed down in a hr. 3 hrs later still having pretty much like pee coming out but definitely slowing down. I hope morning goes as well as now....really no need to worry ...way better than expected...guess it was better to be prepared for the worst."


"This medicine works great for me from 9 years"


"About 3 weeks now, I feel a little better, but I almost feel like I'm on speed. It increased my anxiety and heart beat so much, I could not be comfortable. And I couldn't sleep that well. Not working for me!"


"I awoke this morning with a cough that I know all too well.  At times when the weather is damp I experience an asthmatic type cough that causes spasms. I cough, try clearing my throat, use my inhaler ( which, incidentally I rarely use as I rarely have asthmatic attacks), however my point is that the only medication that completely erases this itchy, non-stopping, irritating cough..and it is a godsend, is a lortab. My prescription is for back pain..again only used when I have unbearable pain. I only use maybe a third or a half tablet..

Curiously, I googled to see if there were others such as myself who have found relief from these horrible coughing spells using not even a dose..just the right amount to thankfully have peace..thank you  all."


"My insertion  date August 2015  I've been bleeding for two months heavy nonstop, I've noticed a decrease in my breast milk production  since insertion but no weight gain or loss... Going to hold out another month hoping for change but I'm constantly think about getting it removed... I'm not good with taking pills so I'm hoping for the best"


"I've been taking Synthroid since October 2010 for my underactive Thyroid and am also a type 2 Diabetic.  It is now February 2011 and things are wonderful.  After about two weeks, my mood improved.  After 6 weeks I was able to get a haircut (prior to this my hair kept breaking off at the ends) and my hair shines again.  I've also lost a total of 15.5 pounds and counting.  My doctor says it's because the Synthroid has corrected my metabolism.  No bad side effects to date (fingers crossed for the future too).  I am on a low dose...25mg. Monday through to Friday only...Weekends off."


"Tried several current Blood Pressure medicines, all with significant side effects of one sort or another.  Finally decided to try the one that worked for my mother years ago, and it worked for me with no side effects in my particular instance. Only problem is securing a source of Reserpine."


"Suprep was horrible! Nasty and expensive! 80 dollars. It made me so sick toward the end of the prep. Chills and freezing and shaking. This time my prep was decent using magnesium citrate, ducolax and miralax. Great price for the three items no cramps! Hoping all goes well. Dr has to remove a flat polyp!"


"I have had frequently reoccurring urinary tract infections for almost 15 years and tried pretty much every trick out there to prevent them, to no avail. When discussing this with an Ob/Gyn she decided to prescribe Macrobid to be taken on days of intercourse in order to prevent me from getting another infection. I went from getting an infection every couple of months to not having one for a year and a half, until I ran out of the medication. The only side effect was a change in urine color which did not have an effect on my quality of life beyond wearing panty liners as a precautionary measure on days I had taken it to ensure my underwear did not get stained. Taking this to prevent infections was a life changer for me."


"My yellow Labrador was given an injection of triamcinolone.  She has been itching and scratching for 12 years.  We needed to get this stopped.  One injection and my pet has her life back and I have mine back as well.  This is truly a wonder drug.  We tried all the usual remedies with no improvement.  The Vet who was a substitute for our regular Vet was a chance encounter.  I praised him for improving my pet."


"I have had the Implanon since May of 2009, and my experiences are similar to the bad ones. From the time I got it, I had light periods for almost 6 weeks. Then the bleeding stopped for about 2 months. Now it is September and I started again and it will leave and come back. I have also noticed that when lifting heavy objects I will have unexpected bleeding. I haven't taken it out because I am in school and this problem is a lot better than having an unexpected pregnancy. However, those who don't have the patience for this type of thing beware. I do have mood swings, my skin was beautiful before, now I break out.  No headaches and weight gain yet. However, this process is scary because your periods are unpredictable."


"With every online review you have to take with a grain of salt. Everyones bodies are different. I was prescribed with tri-sprintec when I was 15 and have been using it for the last 5 years. I rarely had any skin problems, besides the monthly pop-ups everyone gets. Stress, food, genetics and physical health are contributors to breaking out too. I didn't gain any weight, I didn't get sick (unless I took it on an empty stomach), and for being sexually active for a few years, with this pill I haven't gotten pregnant. There are several reviews out there that are horrible, but my experience has been a good one. I am sorry for those who experiences otherwise but don't let all the negativity deter you from choosing something that could be good for you."


"I am a 22 year old female and I have suffered from acne on my face, back and chest since I was 15. My face is constantly broken out in huge, painful, red pimples and little bumps. I finally went to a dermatologist and she put me on 100 mg of doxycycline twice a day. I've been taking it for 18 days and my face is already clearing up quite a bit. And I usually can feel new pimples forming under the skin, I haven't felt one since. The directions say to take before eating or 2 hours after eating, but that makes me nauseous. I usually eat and then wait 30 minutes or so. Even with some of the medicine absorbing into the food, I'm still getting results. I highly reccommend this!"


"I began taking Adipex in August 2008.  I have been sticking to my doctors weight loss plan of a 600 calorie per day diet.  It has been 6 weeks and I have lost 23 pounds.  I feel so much better and plan to continue Adipex and my diet plan until I reach my goal weight.  When first beginning Adipex I had some trouble sleeping and found that I was dizzy often.  Keeping some hard candy in my purse to eat when feeling dizzy seemed to help level out my blood sugar.  After the first couple of weeks sleeping and dizziness troubles went away.  I feel that with the amount of weight I have already lost in a short amount of time this drug is totally worth any and all of the side effects that I experienced."


"Wow a 2.5 mg pill so half a 5mg tablet worked amazingly.  I can't believe how well it worked!"


"I was prescribed 10mg for 2 weeks, then up to 20mg. Originally prescribed for anxiety, I also suffered from severe depression.

Within 3 weeks, I could see an improvement. My crying stopped, things were looking better!

Been on for 2/3 months now, and I feel amazing! Back to my old self. I love this medication!"


"I took Tri Sprintec for 2 years while I had no insurance and couldn't afford anything else. On Tri Sprintec I experienced weekly migraine headaches, nausea, extremely heavy periods that lasted up to eight days, and horrible cramps that would leave me curled up on the couch and unable to go to school or work. All my life, I had experienced heavy periods, but it seemed to get WORSE on this. This is not including the terrible mood swings that almost drove me and my boyfriend apart. I hated myself, and it didn't help things that my sex drive was nonexistent. I am now on Loestrin 24 Fe and have had NONE of these side effects."


"I've recently been on the pill for 10 months. Great pill, no mood swings, no weight gain. Except Sex is a no go, not in the mood. Vaginal dryness ... recommend KY. "


"So far so good, took first dose 21 hours ago.  Tad foggy this afternoon, but really nothing else!  VL=56k and CD4=160 @ first blood work 3 weeks ago.  Go back in a month and will report results.  Glad to have finally crossed the start line! Don't fear treatment or Stribild anymore, but dang the first 30 days knowing I have HIV were very tough."


"I have been on and off Strattera for last two years. Strangely enough besides some dry mouth and dizziness at the beginning I have no side effects at all. I went up on my dose to 75 now. The only problem is that it is hard for me to say if it works or not."


"I've taken Wellbutrin in the past and just recent starting taking it again. I like the way it makes me feel. I have more energy. I'm more awake during the day. I'm happy and I like going to work everyday."


"Sertraline helped me get through a very tough emotional and legal situation that involved my entire social, family and work lives. A couple of years later I am still taking it because it seems to help keep things much more even for me and I don't seem to have any side effects. I am actually considering talking to my doctor about increasing the dose from 150mg to 200mg to help me keep my cool in my extremely stressful job. I also suffer from insomnia and fibromyalgia which my personal research seems to indicate are all interwoven. I use many natural therapies but the only combination that ensures a restful sleep for me is taking between 1/2 and 1 mg of lorazepam and 10mg of zolpidem along with 3 homeopathic Hyland's Calms(not Forte) tablets."


"I have been on the patch for a month now. I absolutely love it! I have tried the pill and was having the worst headaches of my life and I was already on the lowest dosage. I gave up on the pill after 3 months. I have finished my fist month and have experienced no weight gain, mood swings, depression or headaches. The only side effects I have experienced are my breasts have grown slightly and become slightly tender before I get my period and I have a little bit more cramping when on my period. Besides these side effects I honestly feel like I'm on no birth control. The only negative I would say is that the patch can begin to peel which is easily fixable with cusion tape. I have PCOS and the patch has been the best option for me!"


"I've had severe chronic constipation for 3 years now. About a week ago I finally got health insurance so the first thing I did was make an appointment with a gastro. She prescribed me Linzess. For the first 2 days of taking it I had horrible cramps and my stomach was constantly making noises. Well on the 3rd day I finally went. It was only a tiny bit which was very disappointing. I'm now on day 4 and I am literally stuck to the toilet. I have severe cramps, nausea, heartburn, headache and no energy what so ever. I feel like I could fall asleep on the toilet. I have never been so miserable. I will definitely be calling my doctor on Monday and will never take this horrible pill again."


"I've only been taking this for one month for premenstrual dysphoric disorder and haven't even had my first period on it. So far I have felt generally more level and have found I have more energy. I take it at 10pm so any nausea is whilst I sleep. I have been waking at 5am but slowly things are improving on that front. I used to have joint pain with my PMDD and my knee joints don't hurt anymore. I have gained 2 pounds but I have also been eating winter comfort food so it could be that! I plan to exercise now my energy is returning so hopefully I can start to lose all my pregnancy weight from 2 pregnancies.  So far so good - actually interested to see if my periods are lighter as they were awful before."


"This comment is to Ginger A. I know exactly what you mean! I am 19, male, and have acute fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia usually affects males very differently than females. In males the pain is usually in the face or back, where as in females the pain is usually in the hands, legs, or back. I have taken Darvocet before for my Fibromyalgia, and it worked for about a week, and then it was useless. Plus it made me very drowsy. I suppose it's worth a try if the side effects are low, and it is working well for you. As is suggested for any drug. Moving on to stronger pain medication, and maybe Lyrica. Hope this helps."


"I've been on 1mg / day of Klonopin for over 2 years now, for social anxiety disorder. It saved my life, which was spinning out of control. Panic attacks that would come out of nowhere. Embarrassing social situations, awful feelings of dread. It's settled me back down ad allowed me to be myself again, more or less. I hate the fact that I am dependent on a drug to be "normal". It's a secret I keep from everyone in my life. I know I'm dependent on it now because I went 3 days without it once, and on the 3rd day, I was Mr. Anxiety again, but worse. Trembling hands, motor skills out of whack, disorientation. "


"I've been on it for a month and I am thinking of changing. I have had headaches so bad they make me want to cry 24/7. I also have been nauseous almost every single day after being on it for a week. I have been extremely emotional and had times when I feel very shaky. The fact that this puts of a lot more hormones then other birth control is the reason it is causing me to have these reactions I think."


"I was on Belviq for almost a month and couldn't handle the side effects. I did loose 4 pounds but that could also be due to diet and exercise not so much the Belviq. It made me so groggy and just exhausted. I could literally sleep all day if I could. Belviq was not for me."


"It made me crazy. I couldn't eat or sleep or sit still."


"After having Catapres given to me at a detox I cannot imagine detoxing without it. Whether detoxing cold turkey or through tapering I would recommend Catapres for anyone who's going through opiate withdrawal."


"I have been taking Beyaz for about 6 months now. I had PMDD extremely bad for 2- 3 weeks out of the month. A month after starting Beyaz I had no symptoms at all. I had irregular periods and now they are on time every month. I am very happy with the results and I would recommend Beyaz to anyone. Especially if they experience PMDD."


"Worst birth control I have been on. I got it  1 and 1/2 yrs ago. First 7 months was fine, then I started bleeding randomly. I bleed on average 25 days out of a month (most days straight was 22) Those 6 days I don't are mixed in the middle mostly two days at a time,  some even include spotting which I don't refer to as bleeding anymore. I live with a tampon in! Had my hormones and thyroid checked for to see if that was the culprit and had a transvaginal ultrasound which showed I had a cyst on my left ovary. It definitely will keep you from getting pregnant due to the constant bleeding. I'm getting mine out at 10:20 tomorrow and I can't wait ( have thought about cutting it out myself ) I don't want to wait 12 hours!"


"I have had implanon since 08. This past October is my third one which will be 9years. I started out 105pds, which I stayed for 5 to 6 years I did gain weight after I stopped smoking. I am now 125pds. Not complaining. I was getting acne but blame smoking. My period was really the main frustrations 1 month of spotting very light panty liner period.  To 3 months no periods. Now I am  1 week  light periods 3 months no period. My only real concern here is that sometimes my periods are so light that  I only  know I'm on is when it's found in my discharge often. No need for pads panty liner etc. Wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this."


"A drug with many side effects. I had migraine, painful headaches. I don't want to see this drug again!! It's really too bad."


"I'm currently 30 and a male. My depression has only worsened since (and before) my initial diagnosis of depression and generalized, social and "acute" anxiety 13 years ago. I've been in a major depression for at least five years, tried to kill myself twice and am unable to take care of myself. I've lived alone since I left for college in 2003. I still live alone here. I've been on any SSRI I can think of, so this was a last resort  med. Seroquel has made me much too tired to work or do anything else. The only stars I gave it relate to the reduced anxiety when I'm ACTUALLY AWAKE. Other than that, I'm more numb than I ever and are at risk of losing my job"


"Very excellent experience with relief from migraine upon wakening lasting up to thirteen days at a time. I have had no migraines after the botox started working three days after injections. I do have neck soreness which is lessening as the days go by.
I am on my first round and will try it again in three months."


"Please be aware of  all side effects before taking this drug. Adderal is highly addictive and it is very likely that 1 taking this drug will continue to do so for a long period of time out of necessity. Its best to slowly decrease the intake of the drug so the withdrawal symptoms are not 2 intense. Taking more than prescribed can lead 2 severe & even life threatening situations. Hallucinations, hearing voices, severe insomnia, & personality changes are inevitable if abused. With that being said, this is a highly effective yet short term solution bc of the dependency factor.  At times the side effects may be so severe that the person taking the drug doesn't even notice bc they are so happy and focused on everything else.Notice Excessive Movement?"


"I got this shot in January after having my son ever since then I haven't stopped bleeding I'm certainly thinking of taking the pill better I guess my body isn't working with this shot. But it is very effective!"


"So I've had this problem where I've been vomiting nearly all my food. Anything I eat makes my stomach upset, I missed a lot of study due to the stomach ache, and it seemed over the counter stuff never worked, so my doctor prescribed me zofran, dissolvable, and for the most part it works, almost immediately. "


"Been on this medication for about three years now, has improved my quality of life so much!"


"I've had the Nexplanon since May, and it had been great. It wasn't even that sore to get put in. I'm terrified of needles, so I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't that bad at all. More sore, than uncomfortable. I didn't watch it getting put it, but my arm was numbed, then the implant was inserted a minute later. I felt a click when it was inserted, and then that was it, no hassle! For a week or two after, there was a bruise on my arm, but after a while, there was no sign that anything was there. I barely have a scar now either! I haven't had a period in about 8 months (and I'm definitely not pregnant), so it really does its job! Highly recommend it to anyone."


"Effexor has been a Godsend for me. I went through every med out there to control my depression and anxiety attacks. I have been on it now for 11 years, and it's still working just fine. I'm not saying every day is roses and rainbows, but, if I can have 6 out of 7 days positive, it's a far cry better than 7 out of 7 horrible."


"Stopped my period and feel great.  Only side effect is gained 5-10 lbs."


"Ice been taking hydroxy 50mg for a month now for anxiety and it does calm me down and not to mention the itching every where i get on my body when being anxious. Love it i usually try and take it at bed time only cuz it does knock me out"


"Emotional problems, runny nose, etc. Without much relief."


"I started this drug 15+ years ago after trying Inderol, Metroprol and others.  It completely controls my tremors, helps my migraines and also helps with PVC's in my heart rate.  I started taking 40mg twice a day, but it has increased to 80 mg twice a day.  I have gone off this and tried other drugs and they did not work as well."


"I recently had the skyla IUD inserted while on my period was the best timers get it . I got it  about a month go and so far so good! I love it! During the insertion I felt pain for like 30 seconds of cramping a bit. I recommend taking ibuprofen at 600mg-800mg before. I felt a little dizzy after the insertion and felt better. I was protected right away due to my consistency of the pills. I took ibuprofen for 3 days for the semi cramping not severe at all. I've been good ever since with no serious effects. I've have been exercising and eating clean not having a hard time losing weight, no PMSing, no acne, and emotionally normal. I love not having to worry about pills anymore. I would strongly recommend it."


"750mg Apo-Levofloxacin x 7 days.
Side effects:
Palpitations (max 30 mins)
Nausea upon eating (All day)
Hallucinogenic dreams (Most nights)

Severe infection, 90% of pustules had shed after the first 24 hours. Lymph swelling near the ears and back of neck were also gone. Major neck lymph swelling reduced over the 7 day course.

May need to continue course for another 7 days. Signs of reinfection 2 days after the end of the course."


"I take this for motion sickness, as well as occasional nausea. It works beautifully. I'm able to go on longer road trips and boats without being bothered by motion. And not only do I feel well physically, but my mind is at ease knowing that I don't really have to worry about it. I also appreciate the fact that it's widely available and relatively inexpensive. I usually buy the generic version, but I find that it works just as well."


"Why I am taking this mediciine: Hormone Regulation, Painful Periods, Painful Ovulation. I do have fibroids but I will consider removing them if they are still a problem after menopause.  I am 45 years old, single mother, work full time, eat healthy, workout 3 to 4 days a week.  No weight gain or sore breasts I have been reading about on here.

Pros: I think this BC is great. Pain is gone, periods are lighter. I have used the patch and other pills before.

Cons:  I had some slight nausea. Take this with food at breakfast or lunch; and take it WITHIN a consistent time of day everyday.  Be sure to drink your water all day and eat healthy well-balanced meals.

Did it work for me:  Yes. I do not have pain anymore; periods very light,"


"Took 50 mg last night to help me with my nighttime awakenings. I did not have any side effects and slept for over 8 hours! Best night of sleep in a long time. My plan is just to use this for a short period of time to get me through some stressful life events and then taper off. I am a pharmacist and looked at all the possible side effects before taking this medication. I must say, nothing adversely affected me and I happy for this. Sleep is so important to me and this helped so much."


"Awful product!!!!! I was excited that a generic was offered. The price was unbelievable compared to  Vagifem but I am going back to the brand name.  Price does not compare to comfort. I do not recommend this product."


"I've been using ativan for anxiety and insomnia for the last 5 or so years.  Lately I have been having side effects after taking only 1-2 pills at night for sleep.  It does help me fall asleep but the next day I wake up nauseous.  And I'm nauseous all day.  Another weird side effect that it seems no one else has experienced is that my skin feels weird, like my fingers feel like there is a coating on them...It's hard to describe but it happens every time I take ativans.
I get no side effects like this from valium or xanax.  I hope my doctor will switch for me."


"Had a pneumonia shot at 45. Said I would never need another. Being 63 and diabetic doctor recommended one. No worse than a flu shot. Arm was a little sore so took Advil and slept on other side. Felt fine the next day."


"I just started taking Linzess 145 mg. My doctor gave me samples to try. The first few days I didn't notice anything, by the third day I finally cleared out my intestines, which was after almost a month of not having a real bowel motion.  I actually stopped taking the medication for a few days because I was concerned I wouldn't be able to go anywhere, then started again today.  In about 30-45 minutes I was in the bathroom.  I'm not sure if I have to take it everyday or if I can skip a few days in between.  I will ask my doctor.  So far so good.  Anything that helps me go is a miracle.  I'm happy with once every several days especially because I am used to going every couple of weeks."


"I have had severe diahrrea for 6 months every morning 5-7 bowel movements and this was of no help up dose to twice no change, now going for more medical testings"


"In February I started Junel. It's been very good with almost everything, but it hasn't helped with my cramping. I have regular periods that aren't heavy or light, they're just sort of painful. I haven't had any breakouts, major weight gain, or bad nausea. As for spotting, it only happened for a few weeks during my first month on Junel. My breasts also grew about a cup size."


"I have used several different antidepressants and this is the best so far.  I have more energy(still not much), sleep better and fewer thoughts of suicide."


"I have been on every antidepressant made, it seems. This is the best one by far. Everyone noticed a significant difference within less than a week. I was up to 120mg a day due to my extreme anxiety and not able to leave my house. The 120mg had everything under control and I wasn't even having to take my xanax, but my doctor felt I had began to become "flat". He dropped me back down to 80mg and now all of my anxiety, irritability, inability to focus, have came back worse! I actually have a call in to him to see is I can go back up to 120mg. Even with the issues I am having now since my dosage was reduced, I still think this has been the best medicine I have taken."


"I ened up having frequently urination muscle pain and twitching and major fatigue. Pressure headaches and pain in my left leg and stomach cramps I stopped 3 days ago and already feeling better,this has been the worse thing I have ever taking"


"In the first week I started getting a yeast infection vaginally. The I started getting it everywhere imaginable. It was so bad that I had to stop using it and take Diflocam (pill) for 3 weeks."


"I haven't had a YI in years but a recent round of antibiotics got me baking some bread so I went and got the  1 dose capsule combo pack. I took a shower, inserted the capsule and then applied the itch cream. I'd say about 15 mins later the itch started and I do mean itch, the worst itch I have ever had. I kept telling myself to deal with it because it would get better. Wrong. About 30 mins in the itch had tripled and the burning started. I got back in the shower and washed off thinking that might help but it didn't. After an hour I couldn't take it anymore so I emptied a douche bottle and flushed it out with water. Finally it's getting better. Next time I'll just douche with battery acid and save myself 20 bucks."

"I'm 35 years old and no children. I had Mirena put in about a month and a half ago. Insertion was not painful. Kind of like pap smear but longer. Little cramps but I thought - was that it? So nothing major there. Just that I've been spotting ever since. I feel like it's getting old but I'm trying to hang in there like my doctor told me. Already had my check up visit and she said everything looks fine. I do think I'm gaining weight. In-between the insertion and check up 5 bounds. Now I feel bloated and fat. But I'm determined to hang in there and see what happens. Overall I would recommend Mirena. The easiness of having birth control for the next 5 years for couple of months of spotting - I'll take it."


"I've been on every generic for Loestrin under the sun and NEVER experienced bad side effects. Since I never had issues with other generics it took me a while to figure out that this  birth control was causing my issues. I got a bad yeast infection after taking this and became sensitive to getting yeast infections (despite that I never had one in my life before this). I also struggled with acne in the "hormonal" region on my chin line and cheek area. Nothing would help the acne. I haven't encountered acne since my teens and had forgotten how awful and embarrassing it is. I switched back to Microgestin after talking to my GYN and realizing Blisovi was the culprit and my skin is already clearing up. Avoid taking this if you can."


"My daughter diagnosed with some Infection nd dr. Prescribed her omnicef. After first dose she had her upper lip swollen badly,  we called the dr. nd she changed the medicine to azythromicine. But it's been 2 days my daughter still developing full body rashes every 6 hours. AND it's definitely omnicef side effects. Never gonna use it again."


"Horrible drug. Didn't help me with depression ( made it even worse) , didn't help with anxiety."


"Hello all! It works if you let it!! I'm very pleased, it's only been a month but I can DEFINITELY see/feel the difference. I've had moments when I would get a just "little" cranky but nothing I can't handle. I've experienced those dreaded dreams but I haven't experienced the "waking up in a cold sweat" kind of dream, they're mild nothing too crazy, Thank God lol. But the worse thing for me is the nausea and the tired feeling. With the nausea I had to make sure I had something on my stomach,  and still keep ginger ale at my side. The tired feeling got so bad I started taking them at night because I wasn't able to really perform at work. Everyone is different but I hope some of this info helps. GL!!"


"I have suffered from OCD for over a decade and it has taken over my life.  I've been on zoloft for three months and am seeing progress.

It has helped mildly with the anxiety.  I am finding that my life choices are changing.  I am eating healthier, going outside more, taking up new hobbies, reconnecting with old friends, maintaining a healthier relationship with my family members, my anger has decreased significantly and I am not ruminating on repetitive thoughts quite as often.

This medication is very helpful for getting on the road to recovery.  I am using it in conjunction with meditation and mindfulness therapy.

The only drawback is that it gives me diarrhea and short term memory loss.  I have been using post it notes."


"I seem to have quite a different experience. The bad things about it is that I have been on my period constantly for 7 months. Everyday. But I also have never had acne, gained weight or anything like that. I have kind of been moody but not too bad. The insertion wasn't painful at all just a little sore afterwards. The only down fall would be is having a period for that long. It's horrible. But I'm not pregnant or anything so I recommend it."


"I am 23 and have been on Nuvaring for 6 years... This birth control was a life saver I originally went on this because I had severe migraines due to hormones and this by far was the best choice for me because there is no hormonel spikes also I only get my period four times a year. I still get migraines once in a blue moon but they're not nearly as severe as they once were. I did not experiance any mood swings or weight gain and I loved that fact that I always was in complete control of it there was never any guessing if it fell out or moved like the IUD's. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has an unpredictable schedule and might forget to take a pill and anyone who might be plagued with severe migraines due to hormones."


"I started having mild ankle pain about two years ago that increased to severe pain now.  Doctor's still can't figure out what's wrong with me or what is causing the pain.  Is it my back or my actual ankle?  I have been put on many pain medications which haven't worked till now.  I am currently taking Norco 7.5 along with Gabapentin 300 mg 3 times a day and I am able to function.  At first, I was scared because I didn't want to become addicted but, when you can't function at all due to the severe pain, you put all those fears aside and you go for it.  At first you do feel a little high with the med but, your body become adjusted to it and you begin to feel normal and with less, LESS pain.  Take your meds as directed & follow up with your MD."


"UPDATE: 9/09/2014....It's been 8 weeks since I started Qsymia July 13, 2014, I've lost 13 pounds.   I started at 241 and now weigh 228!  I honestly have to say I have never weighed past 230 since I had my third son who's 13 years old!  I'm happy to say the scale does not go up as it would when I've tried everything else!  I love Qsymia and hope I can convince my Dr. to continue to prescribe this pill till I reach my goal weight!  I am so happy!  I will scream when I get to 225 or 220!  My goal weight is 175.  Just in time for the holidays!!  I feel great and lighter!  Drinking plenty of water, coconut water and walking!  Will continue to keep you all posted."


"This drug does help with anxiety. But this drugs attack on your mind and your soul when you suddenly quit this med is hell!!! I advise everyone to stay away from benzos. They will rob you of your life and your sanity. I have recently stumble across a amino acid that works better than a .5mg of lorazepam. It has no side effects and is actually good for you!!! Its called L theanine. This is a amazing natural supplement for anxiety and phobias. Its 100% safe and it works better for me than lorazepam. I take 400 mg a day. 200mg in the morning and 200mg with a 3mg melatonin at night for restful sleep. I stopped benzos after being on them for 2 years for horrible panic and anxiety 5 days ago. I started this regimen 2 days ago and it killed the withdrawals."


"My doctor put me on this and 20 mg of Celexa to help with quitting. I was only 3 days in and I didnt want to smoke anymore. I had set a date before hand so I didnt do the one week on medicine before I quit. I didnt have any negative side affects, although I was scared since I had read so much about it. I say try this out and see. Worth the try. Working well for me and I am on week 2 with no worries."


"ive been on this pill for 2 months now and I'm growing to like it. During the first month, I experienced the side effects (as expected). My breasts were very swollen and VERY tender. I had to buy new bras to handle the pain. I had one day of nausea and never had issues with it again. I had migraines on and off throughout the first month and they have gone away. Periods are much shorter, lighter, and much less painful. I have had bare sex on this pill and have not seen any signs of pregnancy. It made my face break out during the first month, however, on month 2 my skin looked WAY better. After about 3 months of taking the pill all side effects seem to subside!"


"The severe side effect after only 2nd pill of cramps in calves, legs and shoulders were not worth the medications use.  Very scary.  No one told me the damage could be permanent, not dr or pharmacy- this should be advised up front.  Will never use again."


"I have lived years with daily headaches, and migraines often. Migraines would be so bad, that even affected my vision at times. I was always hesitant about daily medications for migraines, but it seemed like I was practically eating over the counter migraine relief medications. Neurologist had me try propranonol, and I would highly recommend this medicine! It has given me back my life."


"I would NOT recommend this birth control for anyone! My first few days on it were okay, I did not feel any of the symptoms besides a little bit of heavier cramping and more abdominal pain while on my period. However, when my period was over and I tried having sex for the first time with my boyfriend, my vagina didn't stop burning afterward. It probably lasted all night. Since then, every time I have sex, it's fine during but afterward is really painful. It burns when I pee, my pH makes me feel gross and sometimes gives a smell, and this lasts for the rest of the day! Trying to have sex a second time is soooo painful, it even becomes so dry down there that it makes it worse. Do not use Nuva Ring!!"


"Used Finasteride for BPH for about 9 months.  Do not now need to get up at night to pee BUT totally ruined my sex life. Penis has shrunk and changed in shape, erections are rare and intercourse is impossible. If surgery is not offered I will certainly stop using it."


"I was on this medicine for about 7 weeks and I gained a lot of weight and on the start of my 3rd pack I got extreme migraines when I crouched down. I was in crazy pain so I stopped the birth control. After about 3 weeks my migraines stopped. I got MRI's and the doctor didn't see anything wrong with my brain."


"I used this product for the preparation of my colonoscopy and couldn't be more happy with it.  It was easy to drink, I put a little of ginger ale and crystal light (flavor mango peach).  I recommend this product."


"I wish I would have read these reviews before I started taking topamax instead of wandering around like a clueless zombie wondering what the hell was wrong with me. As of now I have no solution to my chronic migraines but what else is new, this is the story of my life. Topamax surly isn't the solution. I have no clue if topamax would have worked if taken longer but the side effects are not worth it. Even their website says they are unclear as to how it works. Wtf. I basically felt like I was moving around with no destination.. I couldn't focus, I felt lost, I kept doing things on repeat. I can't live like that. My driving was off. My sight was blury. The pins and needles feeling's in my hands and feet was just awkward and inconvenient."


"Rexulti has given me back my normal life . I have been on Effexor for 5 yrs & it stopped working as well , my anxiety had started to sky rocket . my Psych. added this 1mg a day and within 3 day I could feel a difference . Within 5 days I could fall asleep guickly again , I woke @ 8:30 am after sleeping 8.5 hrs instead of 12 . I have accomplished more in 2 hrs this am than I have for a month. I am relaxed, anxiety is almost gone & it does not make you feel like you are speeding . The only side affect I had was some loose bowels the first 3 days , now all is fine . SOOOOO glad this work , I was afraid that I would have to get my meds changed . It feels nice to be living my life again ."


"When i started to use terbinafine i was reading at all these comments hoping to find hope for my expirience. i knew that it would take some time but i had to do this cuz i want to be able to take off my socks for once in many many years. i had fungus on all toes. i could not even clip them due to how thick they were. so my first symptoms were chest tighness but that went away in like 2 days. i didnt have any other side effects after. it took like 3 months to actually see improvement. its my 6th month and gladly to say my Last month on this medication. all my toes are normal now except for one of my big toes but its half way there.totally recommend this. it Works! :)"


"NuvaRing did do what is was supposed to which was prevent pregnancy. I personally liked the pill better than the ring. I was on NuvaRing for about 3 months and had to stop taking it because of the ridiculous mood swings I was having. I’ve always had heavy and long periods that last about 8 days but the NuvaRing seemed to extend them even longer, to about 10-12 days but they were lighter. It also seemed to increase cramping which was something I never had problems with before but it wasn’t unbearable. Only issue was the mood swings that drove me absolutely insane lol. I wouldn’t say it’s the worst BC, but I definitely feel that there are better options. I guess it just wasn’t for me, but everyone reacts differently."


"Nothing else worked for me. I tried Pataday and Bepreve before and Lastacaft blew it out of the water. Super fast acting and I only use it less than once per day. My doctor loves this and I will stick with it for life. My eyes used to be red and itch all day and now they are clear and comfortable. Love it!"


""Cymbalta" has helped me, but it has not completely got rid of the suicidal thoughts. However...it has really helped with the depression."


"Ok so I had monistat 3 day and it didn't work so I tried 1 day monistat. Oh my sweet merciful lord in heaven, it burned and I tried to go to sleep after applying. I put the 1 day at midnight and I couldn't go to sleep til 4 am . I am not even joking I hate this product and I still have my yeast infection."


"Four weeks on Victoza, in addition to my insulin pump. Taking the full 1.8 a day. My insulin use has decreased and I've lost weight. Excellent compliment to insulin. Symlin quit working after about two years."


"I have migraines and vertigo. This medicine helped my inflammation after surgery. However I had 3 days of vertigo and headaches. The dr. stopped the med and Everything came back to normal."


"I thought the Nuvaring method would be great because I don't have to worry about taking birth control for 3 weeks and I can take it out whenever I want if I don't end up liking it. I also liked that the hormones are placed right where they need to go: right at the uterus.  It was OK at first.  I'm very petite so it was hard to get it in the right place. I felt good with the regular cycle assisted by the hormones.  The first month I had about 10 days of spotting before my period.  About 2 months in I started getting plantars wart's on my foot and on my hand. Then I got a fungal rash underneath my breast.  This has never happened before.  Then I started to lose enjoyment for my schoolwork, athletic activities. I will stop using Nuvaring."


"I was on 7.5/500 Hydrocodone 6-8 x daily for 2 years, for knee and lower back pain. I stopped and quit taking Vicodin because I was just taking it for the good feeling and yet, it was doing nothing for my pain. Vicodin only helped me cope with the pain. After I quit I told my doctor and he put me on tgramadol 50mg 8 times daily (400mg of ultram/daily), and for being a non-narcotic synthetic pain medication I have to give this a 10. I have been on tramadol for over a year now and it works better on my pain, than any opiate pain killer does. Tramadol does not give you that high feeling, but it a great alternative to opiate narcotic pain killers. I do have pain, but a lot less now then when I was on opiate pain killers."


"I've been on Lexapro for two weeks now and I can definitely say that my life has been so much better. I'm on 10 mg and I take one every day. I haven't had any negative side effects expect on my first day taking it I felt dizzy and a little spaced out but they subsided by day 3. Lexapro saved my life! I use to cry everyday and think so much but now all of that has stopped. I'm feeling better, sleeping better; life is just better. Give it a try if you have depression/anxiety."


"I started out on Yasmin but had to switch to Ocella since I have no prescription coverage.  Between the two I was on them for over 2 years.  In that time, I gained 20 pounds.  After I switched to Ocella,  While I was taking it, my moods were level but the first day without the pill I felt completely out of control of my emotions and on an emotional roller-coaster to the point of having to leave work a few times, which is not me at all!  Once I got my period, it was better but I didn't look forward to the next month.  After a crazy month of break-through bleeding, emotional ups and downs, and feeling like I was going crazy, I asked my doctor to switch me to something else.  My sister had the same symptoms within a month or two and so did friends."


"While under doctor's care from 2008 to 2009, I was prescribed Apri for pcos from the age of the age of39, to 41,  I suffered an ischemic stroke, which has left me totally disabled, or with left-sided, hemi-paresis, permanently, disabled."


"Like many of you, I was scared of the possible side effects, but decided to give the implant a try anyway. I was not on my period when I got the implant, but this didn't cause any changes in my cycle. I have been experiencing random spotting, but it has been very light. It caused me to be incredibly moody for the first three weeks, and occasionally I will have a few sensitive moments, but for the most part, my mood has leveled out. Initially, the implant did stimulate my appetite, but that has also subsided. Due to me following a healthy diet and exercising regularly, I've been successful in losing several pounds in the month and a half that I've had Nexplanon. All in all, my personal experience has been positive."


"This Medication gave me my life back , after being on most every type of other opioid medication and I mean everyONE. I have many minor/Major health problems related to chronic pain, neuropathy and arthritis, barely able to walk, within three months of intense Physical Therapy and 30mg Q12hrs (once morning , once before bed) , I have been able to work, walk with a limp but w/o a cane, no ups and downs like the Fentanyl Patches I had Rx'd for a year, Roxycodone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone IR and ER, and many more opioids, that seemed to give the euphoria that of course most people would become either physicaly dependent or develop an addiction disorder which I suffered from both . After I spoke with my Dr. I was able to get on Methadone."


"Honestly, I've never made a better decision. No periods, no mood changes (actually improved my mental health), no change in libido. Some weight gain, but that is no bother since most contraception has it as a side effect."


"I started this medication to lose baby weight after two kids in five years. I am a 28 year old female that after pregnancy weighed 202lbs. I started ADIPEX 37.5 IN September 2011. It is November 13, 2011 and I have lost 30lbs. I weigh 172 and I still have 15-20 lbs pre-pregnancy weight. I have had dry mouth and upset stomach but nothing I can't deal with. I lost 30lbs in 10 weeks! That's amazing and insane. I also started a high protein and low carb diet. I have been working out 2-3 days a week at the gym. Stick with it people this medication works!"


"I was put on blood thinners due to a PE and had heavy periods that were leading to anemia. I needed something non-hormonal to stop the blood. Mirena was reco'd as it contains the hormone in your uterus rather than bloodstream. The first month, my period lasted a while, but was overall lighter. 2nd month, I had a super light period. 3rd month...unexpected heavy bleeding, but I wasn't clotting, so I didn't think anything of it. 4th day in...clots between golf ball and baseball size. Doc couldn't find strings. I had to get a depo provera shot because it was assumed it came out in a clot. Ultrasound today revealed it is still in there, but strings are not visible. I will probably have it taken out because as others have mentioned, the sciatica."


"I have been on Epiduo for about 3 weeks and it seems like every time I apply the gel I turn red and breakout more. Then it's accompanied by dry flaky skin. I think I'm going to stop the use of the Epiduo gel."


"This is a follow-up to my review a few weeks ago.  I experienced no side effects at all up until I had injected the fourth time.  At that point, I began to have site itching, but I could live with that.  The fifth time was two days ago, and I was startled to see that the injection site was  angry  and red about the size of a silver dollar.  I still have itching, but the appearance of the site is alarming.  I worry about future injections causing a serious reaction.  There are also the lumps and nodules now.  Think I'll talk to my doctor tomorrow."


"My doctor insisted that I switch from Valsartan to Losartan. It has taken my bp from 120/70 to 178/86. It makes my eyes feel like they are burning. I have been on this for almost two months and I am going to take myself off it."


"My Dr prescribed me 20 mg a day for severe edema in my feet, legs, knees, stomach & hands.I even started to develop water blisters on my feet & developed high blood pressure. My bp was 155/96 after I took the meds, first day worked very well. I went to the bathroom 4 times really well. Then within one day I noticed I lost 7 pounds! But after you take it awhile you'll notice you won't pee as much, and weight loss will be slower. But it does work just remember to take potassium pills, and eat foods with potassium like bananas. Also eat a low sodium diet!!! :)"


"I was getting panic attacks, overwhelming anxiety attacks and just wanted to sleep all of the time. My GP felt I'd probably been suffering depression for over five years, and prescribed Escitalopram, which works."


"I've been taking Gildess for about 11 months now. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, so my periods are normally very far and few. I was prescribed Gildess to regulate my periods, but mainly to help with PMDD. Since taking Gildess, it has helped tremendously with my anger/depression. My mood swings are gone, but I've gained 40 pounds! One of the side effects of this med is weight gain and cravings for carbs and sweets. I like what Gildess has done for my mood, but I hate the weight gain. That may be a factor in me stopping this medication soon."


"The box said "mild" burning might be a side effect. "Mild" seems to imply that using this cream might be tolerable. What I got was actually felt like  a thousand angry suns burning inside my vagina. Would not recommend."


"I had the 3 injections done in August 2012 and had no relief. In Nov 2013 had 3 injections again and still no relief. In pain 24/7."


"Have had YEARS of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. Bowel movement usually only twice per week...in and out of the bathroom for several hours, cramping and pain that would sometimes give me cold sweats. Then exhaustion and residual intestinal ache all day. No one understood. Fiber was useless. Several bouts of diverticulitis. Never realized that IBS and contipation could contribute to the development of diverticulosis. To me Linzess is a miracle. Yes you do need to be near a bathroom and the bowel motions are mostly liquid in this first 2 weeks I have been taking it. But NO PAIN, RESIDUAL ACHE OR EXHAUSTION! I can take it and go to work. Going out...just get up a little earlier. I even feel better and more energetic overall."


"After going off of this medication and switching to a less expensive one, I became so fuzzy headed and unclear. It was horrible. Once I went back on it, it took about four weeks for it to start working again. Finally I started seeing things more clearly and things were getting easier to sort out for me. This is my miracle drug. If you have anxiety or any kind of fear, I would recommend this med."


"DO NOT ALLOW DR TO PUT YOU ON THIS MEDICATION IF YOU:
ARE AUTOIMMUNE (Positive ANA, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus, Sjögren's Syndrome)
OR TAKE:
EFFEXOR OR ANY OTHER SNRI
I AM EXPERIENCING LIVER INJURY DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF THESE CONDITIONS/DRUGS"


"Was on 10 mg of Atorvastatin, my cholesterol went way down.  After about 6 months, I developed severe cramping in back of legs, especially behind my knee cap.  Pain came every night and every morning.  There were times I couldn't pick my legs up to get over the curb.  Sometimes I wasn't sure I was going to make it to work.  Pain was in both legs ran down from behind my butt checks to my heel."


"Just finishing up my first pack. NEVER have I had this heavy of a period. Changing super plus tampons every 3-4 hours. Plus I've had almost a constant period for the entire first and last months. That, on top of the (what seems irreversible) weight gain and mood swings, has made this experience HORRIBLE. I'm not giving up hope that it may get better, but so far it's been absolutely awful. Will write another(hopefully better) review when finished with the second pack. So far though, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND."


"This was my first colonoscopy so I have no other prep to base it on but after reading several reviews and getting tips from my friends ..here is my report.My test was Tuesday am.  I ate very lightly Sat and Sun,low fiber,easily digested foods. Monday, I drank gatorade and broth and ate jello. I started the prep at 6 pm (due to work) I put it in the fridge so it was very cold and also added very cold water as suggested. I used a straw to drink it. The taste is pretty bad but with the straw it went quickly.Within 30 minutes it started working. Around 915 pm it finally stopped. I used baby wipes and vaseline as suggested by another reviewer and it really helped. The am prep wasn't as bad- was only able to do 1/2. The test is a breeze.Good Luck"


"I went to sleep but the next day I felt awful a headache and my nausea! Never again!"


"I just took my second dose I recommend TAKING THIS PILL ON A FULL STOMACH this will help minimize the side effects. So far I have experienced no side effects of this medication. I don't feel sick and my stomach is just fine and if possible take the pill and just go to sleep for about 20 to 30 minutes right after taking it. PLEASE TAKE WITH FOOD OR ON A FULL STOMACH !!!"


"I started taking this rx after years of severe constipation.  I thought this was just a "woman" thing.  I never knew IBS was also a constipation thing.  I started out on Linzess and was moved to this drug as a cheaper alternative that was maybe better.  So, 5 days into it I had nothing.....belly bloat, looked pregnant, and miserable.  Day 6 came and let's say it was terrible, poo all over my bed as I slept.  Day 7, poo all over the bed again.  As I slept, severe diarrhea.  So now I sleep with my first pair of diaper underpants.  ?????
I am 49, this is not a part of my life I wish to have at this point."


"After Depakote, Celexa and Nuerontin, which all helped to some degree but made me feel sick and medicated, my Doc prescribed Lamictal. Within weeks I felt normal, I could laugh, cry and get excited (not in a manic state) about situations. My family who have suffered through those years, were finally able to let go and be themselves with me, not walking on eggshells. It sure has saved my marriage and family relationships."


"I lasted only 1 month on this pill. As soon as I started taking this, I was am emotional, angry, anxious mess. Everything either made me angry or it made me cry. I was also exhausted all the time. I normally work out 2-3 times a week, but I noticed I was so tired everyday, I only worked out maybe once a week. As for weight gain, I think I might have gained some water weight, but nothing too noticeable. It didn't affect my appetite too much either.I was on Junel Fe before which was great until the very end, where I started getting abnormal periods. I'm on my placebo/period week now and cramping and heavy flow. Two things I didn't have much of with Junel. I'm switching to Apri next week, and praying it works better for me!"


"I've been on this certain kind of BC for about 3 months now. The pill does its job, by I constantly feel sick to my stomach and have absolutely no appetite. I have to make myself eat during the day. Everyone's body adjusts differently, but I wouldn't recommend."


"This drug is very effective but getting it down is a challenge. Ask your Dr for an anti-nausea/anti gag medicine to take 30 min prior. Ondansetron works. Otherwise I could not have gotten the prep down. Do this: mix the prep as instructed. Make a second 16 oz  or more glass of ICE cold water. Take very small sips of the prep and then wash it down with sips of cold water which disguises the taste AND the water causes the prep to work MUCH more quickly. Take small sips or it will come back up. Trust me, I did not think I could make it through the p.m. and a.m. preps but remarkably the ice cold water helped wash it down. Night prep is slower to start. AM is faster. I didn't need to finish AM prep when Stool was clear yellow liquid."


"Have periodic dry skin on my hands which leads to severe cracking. Understand if your issue is bacterial or fungal. Tried many fungal creams then bacterial cortisol. Works great, I use it almost every day. Hands are in great shape ( almost to soft lol)"


"I used to take Nifedipine 10 mg plus Metoprolol Tartrate 25mg (twice daily) to reduce my blood pressure. Nifedipine's effect caused fluctuation of blood pressure each day. A doctor recommend me to replace by taking 5 mg Amlodipine Besylate and 80 mg of Diovan (Valsartan) once each day. I took Metoprolol for couple of years already. The recent changes reveals two things, by stop taking Metoprolol, my heart beat is faster (new 68 and previously about 60) and I felt irregular heart beat. Now I doubt if I should discontinue Metoprolol as this medicine put my heart at ease. "


"9 days of Metformin have been horrible. So I quit. 250mg caused major mood swings. Like I have been in a bubble. Hips and legs ache so bad. Explosive diarrhea and MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT!"


"I have IBS with diarrhea. Out of pocket price $500.00 for Xifaxan 550 mg three pills a day .
It did not work for me at all. After two weeks of the pills diligently taken.  Waste of money .I had no side effects.   But the pills did not work for me the diarrhea persists as does  nausea sweating and stomach cramps.  I have run out of ideas as has the dr.  Don't waste your money."


"Had bad side effects when I started taking this drug. The side effects went away after a week, but this drug did nothing for my anxiety. In fact a few days after my doctor switched me to this med my anxiety was worse than it ever was, I felt as if I was going to crawl out of my skin. Doctor switched me back to Lexapro and I seem to be doing better."


"I have been taking Lotronex for almost 3 years. It has done wonders for controlling my IBS. I feel like a new person! I no longer have severe cramping and can actually leave the house in the morning to get to work on time.  Lotronex, eating the right foods, and taking fiber has really made a tremendous difference.  Some days, I can even take a half pill and still get the same results."


"I've been on Lexapro twice. The 1st time started in the fall 2008. For some reason at the age of 42, I began having dizziness, anxiety, and panic attacks. I was diagnosed with GAD and prescribed 1 mg Ativan for use as needed in the short term and 10mg Lexapro for the long term. Within 3 weeks I increased to 20 mg Lexapro. Within another 3 weeks, my anxiety had all but vanished and I quit Ativan. My racing thoughts and worries subsided. I was able to sleep better at night and concentrate better at work. No weight gain either but I exercise regularly. I stayed on Lexapro for 1 yr. No problems getting off on a tapered schedule over 3 months. In spring 2011, anxiety returned due to marriage issues. Back on 10 mg Lexapro with same great results."


"Terrible terrible pill. Tried Junel fe for a few months, advised that it takes a few months for your body to adjust to the pill. I could not say anymore MY BODY DID NOT ADJUST. I thought the mood swings, anxiety attacks, extra felt stress was a temporary effect....nope! I felt this everyday of every week of all the few months of taking this. Horrified by this pill and had a very negative experience with it. Crazy emotions, anxiety fits, mood swings galore. I'm usually cool as a cucumber so this pill did one dramatic number on me. I feel bad for my boyfriend"


"I was given duramorph in my spinal tap for my 3rd cesarean. The side effects were horrible. After surgery, for several hours, I had difficulty breathing. I had to force myself to stay awake because every time I closed my eyes my respiratory rate dropped. This is a side effect of duramorph, but not everybody will have this side effect. I can tell you that after that surgery, the thought of having another cesarean made me ill. "


"I lost my only child four years ago and have battled grief and depression.  I was put on Deplin and it made a huge difference in my frame of mind.  I went off of it a month ago because I started a new job and basically just forgot to get it filled.  Big mistake.  I have been extremely sad and depressed.  I will be getting that prescription filled tomorrow.  It was a lifesaver."


"I started this pill a little less than a year ago, about six months after becoming sexually active. I have never had any problems with this pill. I was on Accutane for almost a year and even it didn't clear my face up as much as Tri-Sprintec has. It has also made my periods perfect, they last 5-6 days and are super light. My weight has not changed at all. I have noticed my sex drive has gone down but it works great for a contraceptive. I stopped using protection (condoms) about 4 months ago and am still baby free! This pill is wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap and effective contraceptive or acne fix."


"I took a single tablet. Within 1 hour I experienced the worst vomiting I had had in decades. Sadly, this had been a very effective drug for me in the past. I'll never take it again."


"I NEVER write reviews, but after trying to use this product I felt a duty to warn everybody!! I barely had a YI, I had gotten it from the antibiotics I was on. Honestly within 10 minutes of having this in I was burning like a bat out of hell, I was so damn itchy . I rushed to the store to get the “azo yeast” to get relief from the cream that was suppose to be helping me. I am writing this now in my shower trying to get this product out. I wish I would have looked at reviews before I bought this.  WORST PRODUCT EVER. SAFE YOURSELF AND JUST CALL A DOCTOR."


"I took this medicine for 3 weeks and have lost all sense of taste. It has been 2 weeks and I have lost 12 lbs. They say that this is a rare side effect yet I have found many web sites that have many complaints of the same effect? Not worth my time or money. I am depressed, sick, weak all the time and mad as hell I ever took it and my toenails still look bad."


"Have been taking Neurontin for 6 days, dramatic decrease in number and severity of hot flushes!"


"I have been on this birth control For over a year now after discontinuing my old birth control that made me angry ALL THE TIME. Since switching to mononessa I have been back to my normal moods. I haven't gained any weight from it. My breasts did swell up quite nicely for a good 6 months and now they're back to normal. I have no pain or cramps (I didn't have major cramps when I wasn't using BC however). I haven't gotten pregnant either and I don't plan on switching to another!"


"I went to the doctor looking for a contraceptive that would also help with the acne around my jaw line. I don't really get pimples anywhere but around my chin and mouth. I would say that my acne, at its worst was decently severe in that area. Anyway, when I first started using Loestrin Fe 24, my acne in that area was absolutely outrageous. I was getting huge cysts that were very painful. I would get 2 to 3 new ones a week. It was very disheartening, but I decided to stick it out. By the third pack, I watched my acne disappear. I am now on my 4th pack and only get one or two small whiteheads (not big scarring cysts) right before I start taking the iron pills. I like this birth control and with time, I believe it helps acne."


"I had a heart attack and stent and have a problems with taking statins.  I have taken 4 injections so far.  I have stomach cramps , and double over with pain, leg cramps unreal.  I can tolerate Crestor 3 days a week.  Had check up with my heart Dr and he said go off the Repatha it will lower your numbers but, as it states and so did my heart Dr that there is NO proof it will help your heart.  I thought this strange but, as he said it also says that on the pamphlet that comes with it.  I am quitting taking it stomach aches and bowel problems are miserable."


"I have been using this medicine for years and has worked extremely well"


"I used to take just hydrochlorothiazide alone, and Maxzide is night and day difference... I take it for first time, and 2 hours later, I lost possibly 5 - 6 pounds of water... I can see my abs again. WOW!

I suffer from fluid retension from uncontrolled Hashimoto's."


"I don't like using medicines at all, especially long-term, but Celebrex did tame my symptoms enough for me to be able to pursue other therapies.  It wasn't perfect. I still limped and had some pain and stiffness issues but it made a world of difference.  I am now off of it, and have taken a big hit in my flexibility and mobility.

"Have been taking this medication for 8 months and have lost 30 lbs.  it was prescribed as a weight-loss drug.  Initial mild headache ( no longer ) and some occasional mild nausea.  Started with 1 per day for a week then 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening on week 2 then 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening for week 3.  I backed off a bit and settled on 2 in the a.m. and only 1 pill at night.  Dosage is  8 mg/90 mg.  I am satisfied and will continue taking it.  One more huge benefit is the lack of joint pain."


"I've taken four doses for a sinus infection.  So far no real improvement, but I'm not worse either.  I'll wait a few more days before calling the doc. Hope it works for me as it did for all of you.  I was itchy the first night but that went away."


"I have been on pain medicines for over 10 years. I've tried it all. I was taking oxycodone 2 x 80mg plus 2 x 40mg plus 6 roxicodone 30mg a day. My pain doctor switched me to 2x40 plus 2x20 Opana plus with the same roxicodone a day. This helped some. I had built up a tolerance to oxycodone. Last month she changed the roxicodoen to 4x10mg Opana for break through pain.  Now I have my life back. This is the first time in years I have been able to get up and get around. I have had a pain pump before and was going to get another one but after this switch as of now I don't need it. If Opana is not working you may need a higher dose if you are able to take it. Don't give up. "


"I took Zovia for about 6 months mainly to regulate as well as clear up my skin. It did those things wonderfully however, I had the WORST night sweats imaginable! I would wake up in the middle of the night soaking wet. I'd have to change my clothes & sleep on a towel. It was awful! This problem outweighed the benefits so I took myself off. I did get depressed before my period also."


"I have tried to use it several times in the last few week. After each application I have Burning. I am going to quit!!"


"I have used Alli for approximately 4 years to control weight from getting worse. I depend on it being diabetic and it has now been recalled. I take up to 4 x 5 pill servings of high quality fiber but without the Alli I am having a horrifying time with bowel movements and rectal bleeding. The bleeding was going on while taking Alli but is worse without. I know there have to be others like me that need to relate as well,and that IS POSITIVE!"


"I take Bystolic 10mg for high blood pressure and high heart rate. It controls my blood pressure wonderfully but doesn't help my heart rate nearly as well, tends to wear off after about 6 hrs. Also experience some stomach upset but no other side effects."


"I believe the ladies who said they felt better after using this must work for the company and they are lying.
I'm 38 and this is my 1st time using this and I'm on fire.  I thought the 7 day would be better because I've used 3 and 1 day before...all made me absolutely miserable.  Whyyyyyy is it so awful.  I want to use the remaining applicators to flush my vagina with water.  It's taking all my might to write you ladies but I needed to warn the next victim.  Honestly its worth just waiting the next day to go to the clinic and get diflucan."
