"I was put on Yaz for my choice of birth control and mood swings. I seriously loved it. I felt great, lost a ton of weight, and my skin was perfect. First time in years. About 7 months in to taking the pills, I ended up very very sick in the hospital. My gallbladder ended up shutting down. All the bile was backed up, and I was taken into surgery very quickly after. Now I am off of Yaz. My doctor switched the pill and put me on Wellbutrin. While my skin is not clear anymore, I am feeling much better."


"Very sensitive to medication but this one works for me."


"I thought I was going crazy. I developed PPD at 3 months postpartum. My symptoms manifested in Anxiety. I had zero control over the fear and panic. I stopped eating, I threw up all day. I couldn't even hold my baby without feeling nausea.  You hear so much about postpartum depression but women need to be aware of postpartum anxiety. It's very real. It took 4 trips to the ER for me to accept that I wasn't dying, that I just had PPD and I needed to give my Zoloft a chance. It saved my life! Zoloft is so wonderful. It gave my children their mother back. Zoloft will take your anxiety away. It will! My side effects were very little. But then they went away. Iv only been on Zoloft for 2 months now and I'm a better person then ever before."


"This was recommended to my brother in law last year and he almost died from it, severe and I mean severe diarrhea, falling all over the place, it was terrible then my sister told the clinic she would not let him take any more and from that day he just improved back to his normal self, in December last year 2016, my sister had a mild heart attack and she is now on Warfarin, she has exactly the same symptoms though not as bad, I have urged her to take it up with her own GP which she will do in three days time, what I don't understand is every "specialist" says that you should avoid Aspirin when taking Warfarin so why do they prescribe them together? STRANGE"


"I have been taking this for over 2 1/2 months. No side effects to report this works well with me. The up side to this is I'm losing weight."


"Well here's an update after a week of taking contrave which I started on 7/9/2016 I have already lost 8 pounds. Now I don't have any side effects but I went walking 4 days this week for 30 min. and I have been counting my calories as it says on the bottle. It really don't  suppress your appetite like I thought for the first week,but being conscious on counting my calories has made me more aware of the foods I'm eating. I am also very thristy and constipated, but its not that bad since I've never really been regular any way. I will report back in a couple of weeks my goal is to lose 20 pounds by September so I need 12 more to go with me starting out at 233."


"My husband had a really low sex drive..like headed for divorce court low.. He seemed here but not "here", sleeping after dinner, not interested in doing much.. so 6 days on the medicine and he is more alert and the sex, well let me just say, he seemed more fueled by the need, it was awesome. Now the smell.. I have no idea what people are complaining about, it must depend on your body, like some people can't eat garlic or smelling, it smells like he is wearing new deodorant, like when I sit close, I can't even smell him all the time. As far as me, we put his T-shirts in a tub with a lid do I don't touch and our animals won't come in contact. He uses disposable gloves and then washes his hands! This stuff may have saved our marriage!"


"I am taking digestive advantage constipation formula which has 400 mg of magnesium oxide. It is absolutely the only thing that has ever helped me with constipation and never cramps and is completely reliable daily. The best thing ever. I am sure plain Magnesium oxide 300 mg would do the same if they should stop making this. This has been a Godsend now for a year and a half. Like clockwork..."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Pradaxa for 5 weeks and the only thing that has occurred to me is dark reddish urine every now and then and I don't bleed as bad as I have on Plavix and aspirin. I have noticed more gas but no heartburn, I hope this works as in May of this year I almost died because of atrial fibrillation, which threw a blood clot in my small intestines and I got gangrene and they had to remove 80% of my small intestines. So far Pradaxa is working fine with me.

"


"I have been inadvertently taking this for over a year now.  I stopped my period myself with Lutera, which is the same strength and medication in Lo Seasonique so I've switched to LoSeasonique to save money.  When I first started taking it, I spotted for a long long time and if I take it even one hour later than my scheduled 4pm time I inevitably get cramps for two days.  If I miss one more than one day in a row I will spot for a week or two and feel as crappy as I used to whenever I got a period.  My periods did NOT get less painful on the pill and that is why I stopped it all together and I couldn't be happier.  If you can wait out the spotting, it is so worth it."


"Monistat 7 is the absolute worst thing you can use for yeast infection.  The burning, leakage, itching, and inflammation is ridiculous. I do not recommend this to anyone.  The company need to go back to the lab and fix this stuff."


"After giving birth to my son in 2003, I refused to take any kind of birth control pill/shots. I've had irregular periods for years until last year when I started bleeding heavily, soaking up my pads within an hour up to the point that blood came rushing down my legs. I was afraid that maybe I had tumors or fibroids and maybe I needed surgery. Doctor gave me an ultrasound and found nothing wrong with my uterus. He gave me Provera 10 mg, once a day for 14 days. Took it for 2 months and had an absence of period for about 6 months. Had regular periods for 5 months and started again so I saw another doctor last month and told me to take provera again. I'm just waiting for my period to be over that way I can be comfortable again."


"I've had difficult sleeping for the last 7 years, I take my dose at bed time. I'm relaxed and I fall asleep relaxed. I'm bipolar but only use it for sleep."


"First two injections worked very well ,third injection seemed to stiffen my knee more .I did not get the desired results."


"I started taking Belviq May 31, 2017. I am 5"5 and start weight was 279lb. Today makes day 15 and I am at 273lb and that's the number with my period  on (sorry TMI) so it will be lower once it's gone off. I know 6lbs in 15 days sounds like nothing right? But I haven't exercised nor watched what I have been eating, only because I wanted to see what the pill had to offer. Not only did I lose weight but I lost inches!!! How many inches? I'm not sure, I just know that I can wear my rompers and tight shirts without my girdle "


"I took this medication because I was having panic attacks. I had no drowsiness, and no side effects. This medication didn't make me apathetic or sedated; it simply took the panic away so I could think and get my work done. It saved me. After the panic attacks stopped, I was still suffering from anxiety (a new condition for me), and the Ativan didn't help that, so my doctor switched me to Klonopin, which worked great for day-long anxiety, while I also tapered up on Zoloft. Still waiting to figure out if the Zoloft works."


"I've been taking the off brand for over 2 weeks and I'm starting to feel the anxiety reducing effects. No nausea or GI problems thus far. For the first 3 days I felt a little out of it around an hour and a half after taking it, so I started taking it at night and that has completely resolved the issue. Started on 10mg for around 9 days to get accustomed to it and have been on the 20 mg for 2 days now. My anxiety wasn't severe (diagnosed w mild anxiety-stress related) & no panic attacks. I think the type of anxiety/severity will influence the way the drug acts on you, but it's been good for me so far :)"


"Smoked cigarettes for over 20 years now i am free of nicotine and smoking for 1 year.

Thank you Champix.

I was a real addict."


"So I took Diclegis for the first time last night after my doctor prescribed it. My first pregnancy I was sick for all nine months, multiple times a day. I am not almost seven weeks with my second, and the nausea and vomiting is starting again.

I took the pill around 7pm which may have been a little too early. I did notice about an hour after taking the pill I did get some slight chest pains but nothing too serious. I slept like a baby all night, only getting up once to use the bathroom around 5am.

The reason I gave the drug a rating of 7/10 is because of how I am feeling this morning. I have not had any nausea or vomiting, and have actually been able to eat a decent breakfast this morning. I am however stuck in this constant fog."


"WORST THING I EVER DID! I have had the implant in my arm for around 2 & a half years, I didn't want to wait till the 3 year mark to get it removed so I had it taken out today. I gained 28lb from having it put in my arm with no lifestyle or diet changes. It made me angry and always sad/depressed. I used to be so happy & calm and never got mad easily, but with the implant in I snapped at everything & had terrible mood swings. It effected me mentally. My periods were v irregular, I could be on for 1 full month & then off for 2 months then come on for a week & so on. Such a horrible life changing drug. The worst thing about it for me was the weight gain, I used to be slim and fit and now I'm fat, gone up 3 dress sizes! :( not good!"


"I am 20, and have been using this birth control a little over a year. It is my first birth control pill. Effective at preventing pregnancy but that's the only plus. Overall I think it's an okay pill, but I wouldn't say it's the best. It takes about three months to adjust to it, and taking it at night helps with the nausea and headaches you may experience. I have gained 15 pounds while on the pill, which is very disappointing because my diet is better now than it was before and I've always been very active and attend the gym. The weight is hard for me to shed now..it's frustrating. My periods are normal for the most part, but sometimes they come a little later and carry over when I'm back on active pills. "


"I was prescribed gabapentin, Xanax and hydroxyzine for insomnia. I was weaning myself off from Xanax and the withdrawals and cravings were terrible. I tried hydroxyzine for a night and the next day, absolutely no cravings for Xanax. Not only that, the depression and anxiety, GONE. The vivid dreams are plus. I wake up feeling meaningful and full of hope. I spent the day focused and productive. The next day was the same! This is a miracle drug. I had no idea hope is a chemical."


"This medicine gave me very bad indigestion, acid reflux, and severe nausea. My doctor cut me down to one pill every other day and it did cut all of these effects basically out."


"I was on yaz for a while. I had horrible mood swings lots of crying around my period and very angry 1 hr after I took the pill. I was switched to Gianvi and was a little scared because it was generic. Best

switch ever!!  I was on this for 2 yrs .no more mood swings. I didnt gain weight. This pill was really tried for birth prevention! and it passed. I stopped taking it just because My Dr. really freaked when I told her I started smoking. But I have stopped now and I am back on this pill. I have tried others like Ocella and  a few more but I dont remember thier names. They wrecked havoic on my body. So Gianvi works best with my body and I love it! highly recommend."


"I have been on Nuvaring for approximately 2 years now. I like that it regulates my menstrual cycle, it's comfortable once it's inserted. I occasionally have it slip it out but not a lot. It stays in tact during intercourse, my partner doesn't feel it and effective. There is also an app to use to help you keep up with when it is time to insert it and take it out. The app also helps me know when my period is coming."


"I took the pill about 36 hours after incident . I was due for my period 5 days after I took the pill. Today is Friday and I just got my period. I didn't really have any symptoms except occasionally light cramps that didn't last long at all and some adominal pain, in all this pill worked for me. I stressed myself out so much, but I am happy to say that it worked"


"A real life changer. I've had hyperhidrosis since high school (now 25) and I was always hiding in dark clothes to hide the stains. It does burn and itch when I put it on but I'd take that over the excessive sweating anyway. Pros definitely outweigh the cons!"


"I am 30 years old and my acne and skin had gotten bad in the last year. My skin felt gross and clogged. I went to a dermatologist for the first time in Dec. of 2015 and he prescribed me Tretinoin .05 .. I did a ton of research on it first. I began using the cream little by little. First a couple times a week. Then 3, now I'm up to 4x a week. This helped so that my skin didn't freak out. Also start with a small amount, don't use it like a moisturizer and apply it only to dry skin, so wait 10 min. after washing your face. Anyways, it's only been a month but my skin is doing so much better. No breakouts. My skin feels soft, no little bumps. I haven't experienced bad side effects, only some dry skin, but I've been very careful."


"Never had a whole lot of acne through high school until I jumped on steroids (deca/sustanon) I got moderate-severe cystic acne after about 6 weeks and had it for about 3-4 months and finally got put on bactrim DS. It did wonders went through 3 bottles and was back to normal I kept the 4th bottle for precautionary reasons no acne came back"


"For those of you needing a bit of peace and mind, read this. I had sex with my boyfriend March 3rd and the condom broke. I took Plan B 3 hours after the accident. I took it because I wasn't very sure when I ovulated due to years of irregular periods. The side effects I had after taking it were a headache and some dizziness. I was expecting my period of March 28th but it never came. However, around this time, I was bloated, cramping, and I had very tender breast. I feared the worse and took a pregnancy test  on April 1st. It came out negative, but I still hadn't gotten a period, until today (2 weeks late). Good luck to everyone."


"I just want to say I found this site very helpful. I had been on Alesse previously and switched to Aviane because it was so much cheaper. Since switching I have found that I am more fatigued, am losing an alarming amount of hair, and feel sick after I eat.  This page helped me a lot because until now I was stressing out thinking that I was possibly pregnant (I have had lighter periods since I started 3 months ago, but that only added to the problem). I am still going to take a pregnancy test, but after reading this article I feel like I will be able to at least sleep tonight."


"My depression went away pretty quick, I was able to continue to nurse my newborn son. I took it for about 10 or 11 months it was so hard to stop taking. I had to split caplets up to cut myself down. "


"After surgery (right axillary nodes), radiation of that site, subsequent CT scans and biopsy revealed that it had spread to his right lung.  After treatment with this oral chemo (covered by Medicare), he has a complete remission of the lung tumor.

Side effects were minimal.  He is BRAF positive, although I don't know if that has any connection with the Temodar."


"Besides extreme sweating (soaking thru tee shirts) 24/7 I don't see what it does for pain besides NOTHING, the feeling of I don't give a rats ass about my life is another fun filled side effect. I've been on it almost a yr, take 30 mg in the morning before going to bed & 60 late in the day. I'm thinking of weaning myself off it, I'd rather take Xanax twice a day."


"My doctor prescribed Protonix which worked most of the time and every now and then I would take a Tums.  Then my doctor left and I didn't request a refill soon enough, so I decided to try Prilosec OTC.  My GERD disappeared after the first day.  I took it daily for 14 days as described on the box and never had a problem at all.  My GERD pain is coming back though, so I will be buying another box."


"It wasn't too bad. I loved how easy it was, I didn't experience any pain or weight gain and my complexion improved greatly! The only problem was that I would become extremely depressed and moody for no reason at all. I would recommend it to others."


"OK I've been on zyprexa going on 7 months at 20mg a day and it's the best thing I've done to get help with bipolar disorder. The only down fall is the weight gain but for me to stay sane and be happy it's worth it. Since being on zyprexa I've been able to socialize again with other people and do not stay in my bedroom all day and night. Thank God for helping me "


"I have noticed acne pick up, no weight gain. I also have noticed mood swings more. Periods are really light. Just seem more emotional. Overall it's better than taking a pill everyday. I have had mine for about a year now."


"Followed advice here--use cold cold cold water. Taste is like cherry cough meds but lighter--second cup seemed saltier (maybe I didn't mix the water and dosage bottle well enough?) Anyway it worked for a two full hours--all almost clear. Next dose--still clear.  I felt good I had been a good light eater.  Then to bed at 10.  Wake up at 3:30--cramps; run RUN for bathroom; That last meal high in the colon was on its way down!!! Probably should skip that last light meal the day before you start the prep! All in all experience was fairly easy--hard to drink all that water, also used ginger ale as others have noted. Too much sweet juice made me a little nauseous. Would definitely use this again."


"My PCP put me on 37.5 venlaflaxine for hot flashes and anxiety.   She did not want to give me the estrogen patch, which is what I hoped for, because she was concerned about my anxiety.  The drug worked in 2 days on the hot flashes, eliminating them completely.   Also, my appetite dropped and I lost 20 pounds in the five weeks I was on it.   My anxiety improved a bit, but unfortunately, the drug caused me to feel jittery and disassociated from my body.  I decided to dump the drug and get the patch from my OB-gyn--best thing I ever did.  I feel AMAZING and NORMAL and haven't gained an ounce back three weeks later.  I do not have my uterus anymore, so my risk is low.  So glad I listened to my body!!!"


"I just finished taking 5 tablets per day for 14 days.  Although clotrimazole appeared to be helping after the first few days, it thereafter seemed to have no effect on my oral thrush.  It is as bad now as it was before I started the medicine.  I got the oral thrush from using Flonase, a corticosteroid.  I do not have any other health problems."


"I have been taking hydrocodone 10mg. 325 Tylenol 4x a day for several years.  I also take Ultram 4xaday.  My pain is severe.  I went to the E.R. a few weeks ago with strained muscles between my shoulder bones in my back.   I was given a toradol injection and a prescription for toradol pills.  Only 15 of them.  I took the toradol as I was supposed to and got a lot of relief.  I did not have to take my pain meds for a week. I had no side affects.  I wish I could take this on a regular basis and do away with the other pain meds."


"I really like it almost had it for 3 years. Didn't gain any weight. I lost my period the first 7 months then got it back, the period can be long or can be short, sometimes heavy but usually light. I do get emotional and have mood swings. I thinks it works great and plus you don't forget and works for 3 years."


"Hey! I even on Sronyx for about 9 months now and it's been an overall good experience. My acne level has stayed the same. My periods used to be heavy all the way through for 7-8 days and now it's only 5-6 along with it becoming much lighter. The only downfall is I gained 10 pounds which is very abnormal for me since I am very active. so far I havn't gotten pregnant but I didn't use a condom yesterday for the first time since I started using it so we'll see how that goes! Overall a good product!"


"What it's supposed to do, it does very well. I was put on it for sleep and weight loss due to anxiety and depression after a stressful event in my life. I have struggled with insomnia for most of my adult life. What can I say? It was a literal life saver for me at the time. Gave me sleep and appetite back immediately and I turned around. I still take 7.5mg at night for sleep, appetite and mood and it works very well. For the first time in my life I am at a healthy weight. That being said it does not induce the crazy sweets cravings anymore. I just take it and go to bed. I sleep enough but do sometimes wake up feeling a bit groggy, but that usually goes away during the course of the day. All in all a great medication that helped me immensely"


"The relief far outweighs side effects. It can't be used over long periods so I follow a sine wave for it's use."


"For me, dramamine  works better than phenergan. I have a lot of nausea due to rheumatoid medications I take. I also get vertigo or migraine on occasion that cause nausea. This med helps me a lot"


"Every spring and fall in Dallas everyone gets allergies.  This always turns into a sinus infection and bronchitis in a week or two and this medication takes care of it without any other complications."


"Mood swings, Headaches, hair loss, acne, bad weight gain. Had Mirena for four years removed it and am feeling great."


"I am 17 and have been taking this for 5 months now. I started to take it as I couldn't join the army with fungal nails. I have experienced no side effects and my nails are growing clearly. Overall very happy, just a shame the process takes so long."


"Doc put me on 10mg.  I developed what seemed like sciatic nerve pain.  Every morning when getting out of bed for the day I had pain in my left buttocks, thigh, down my calf & tingling into my foot.  After being up for an hour or so, the pain subsided & I could pretty much do what I wanted.  I also noticed I was easily fatigued & felt somewhat depressed.  Doc increased the dose to 20mg daily after 6 months.  Then the sciatic pain in the morning increased to nearly unbearable. I had no energy.  I was ready to see an Orthopedic Dr when I checked on line for severe side effects of Lisinopril.  I was stunned - joint, nerve & sciatic pain.  Hair loss, weight gain, depression, cough, fatigue & etc.  I stopped the med. & now feeling great."


"Getting two blood pressure readings of 180/90 a year apart worried me so I asked a physician  to prescribe something.  This is what I got (50 mg.)

I forget to take it about twice a week.  My last reading was 150/90, but I had skipped my dose that morning.

I occasionally have hip, knee, and ankle pains, diarrhea, and disturbed sleep with vivid dreams, but no more than I did before starting Losartan.

Improvements I noticed:  I have more energy, for sure.  My arms don't feel "tight" inside on days when I remember to take it.

The only negative thing that is different is I sometimes get the feeling I'm losing my mind, in a way I never felt before taking this.  I can get the feelings under control in a short time, though."


"I have been using Daliresp for 1 week now. It appears to have improved my breathing but I have several of the side-effects. Now I'm having problems with diarrhea, anxiety and trouble sleeping.  I've got a call into my doctor now to see if the side-effects will go away.  If they don't I'll have to go back to Advair."


"6 months ago, I was hospitalized. I had never been treated for my depression due to insurance and financial issues. During my 9 day stay at the hospital, they started me on 20mg of Prozac. By the time I left the hospital, I was at 40mg. The suicidal thoughts went away and I was able to feel moments of clarity. Although, I made some big life changes after being released from the hospital, the depression was still there. Sleep and isolation was still my life. Now that I have been on Prozac for 6 months, I look back and realize how far I have come. I am now taking 80 mg a day and I can finally break through the fog. For me, depression wasn't necessarily sadness, but an absence in vitality. Prozac has helped me regain it."


"Have taken this medicine intermittently 2.5 to 5 mg 1-2 x  a day for years.  Works rapidly, no side effects, also reduces anxiety, unease and discomfort, and importantly, when my systolic BP is high (160 ) it makes my beta blocker (atenolol) work more effectively.  There seems to be a synergistic effect between the two. "


"I had my skyla inserted in January 2014, and I'm so glad I took that chance, because it's a truly awesome birth control. There is no daily pill, no monthly shot appointments, just one day of insertion and then you are good to go for three years. Yes, insertion is painful. It wasn't miserable, but it's uncomfortable and you will need at least a day of rest and recovery. I was not on my period at the time of my insertion, so that might have caused a little more pain also. This is my first form of birth control and I have not had kids or been pregnant. The worst side effects are that it will increase your cramps and menstrual pain, but it will get better over a few months. And it will change your period cycle, though it depends on your body!"


"I've been using it for a month now, the taste was horrible in the beginning but I've found that if I drink something flavored it goes away. I can breathe a million times better with this spray. I have had chronic sinus headaches since I started taking this but I guess it's a trade off to be able to breathe. I have found no correlation in the spray helping my asthma."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I am 35 , female, n have ulcerative colitis for all of my life, I have done a ton of preps before. I took my first dose at 10 a.m. today, n it took till 130 to kick in. I was getting worried, but I also was in bed whole time. I drank the fluids, more then it says only because I know our  body requires more then we think. The first round was easy n I was relieved, second bout excuse the language but, I'm sure I was yelling as my poor but was on fire! It was that bad, everytime till first dose ran dry.  Took my second dose around 5 it is now 715, n it just kicked in. Thankful to say, no burning n it's just liquid. I don't tend to follow the dosing times, I stay on clear liquids all day so nothing solid is being processed. GL!"


"Once I was diagnosed with sarcoidiosis I was given many different narcotics and with these narcotics I felt as if everything being said by myself or anyone else it was echoing in my head and the pain relief did not last long enough. I was originally given Tramadol as a break through pain medicine and it didn't take me long to realize this was the only pain medicine I needed. I take 1-2 every 6 to 8 hours. This medicine does have a mood elevator so that is a plus in my book. Narcotics seem to put me on edge. There are withdrawal symptoms such as cold sweats feeling horrible, joint pain, but with everything good there has to be bad somewhere. "


"this is the best solution to nasty cold sores... If you are reading these reviews to get an idea about this medicine, stop now and order one right now. Believe everything every person is saying here about this cream. It is a miracle cream on every use."


"I have been taking this medicine for 3 weeks now and have found it definitely works. Tried Vesicare before this but had no luck. Only problem I have though is my appetite has increased a lot & I'm finding it hard not to eat too much! So weight gain is a side effect for me, also had sudden hair growth on my hips. I'm a very unhairy person who only has to shave my legs about 4 times a year yet suddenly after starting this medicine I have had black thick hair coming through with a rash in uncommon places. Think I may Have to stop this medicine if it continues."


"Used to inject Novolin N twice a day (50 units mornings and at bedtime) and R throughout the day. Much harder to control blood glucose and it allowed me to cheat by eating that cake and increase amounts of injections. I use Lantus now once a day. So much easier. Still trying to adjust amounts (last night blood glucose was 43). Supplement with 5 units of NovoLog before each meal. Insulin spike lasts only one hour."


"I've been taking Morphine in the pill and liquid form for about 4 years. Prior to that everything else in the painkiller family. I suffer from severe migraines about 3 times a week average. I'm getting deployed overseas and the military will not let me take this while I'm overseas. I asked my doctor to give me a medication that will help with the withdrawal feelings that I've gone through for the last 6 years every month. I found that this medication helped really well. I didn't really have any side effects except nightmares but for me I haven't had a dream in the last 6 years cause of the morphine and others so any dream is better then none. Thanks."


"Zyprexa was effective at sedating me which prevented the psychotic aspects of my manic episodes from happening very quickly. Since I only had 2 manic episodes in the span of a year, I probably should've stopped taking Zyprexa around 6 months later. Unfortunately I took it for 5 more years which was a MASSIVE mistake. It caused me to be very drowsy and lethargic. Because I started taking it at age 19, I didn't realize the Zyprexa was the culprit until I stopped taking it. I thought I was just a sleepy person. It had a profoundly negative impact on my life because I took it way longer than I should have."


"I have never had side effects nor adverse reactions when taking phenobarbital. I take it responsibly, as directed.  I have been on it for at least 60 years."


"I was given Toradal (iv form) in the hospital. I was in agony after experiencing severe complications (nerve damage, bleeding, infection) from two back to back knee surgeries. Morphine couldn't touch the pain. Toradal was my miracle."


"I have been on Seroquel XR for about 1 month.  I am happier and sleep better."


"This is the only medication that has worked for me.  It is dependable (6Y) for the long term. The FDA had no GOOD reason to "discontinue" this 140 year old safe, effective medication. I have not had a good moment of sleep for the last six+ weeks."


"I have been on Nuvaring for about 4 years or so. I love it! I don't have much acne, light short periods. The only down side is that during intercourse the ring causes discomfort. Other then that I would suggest it to everyone."


"I was prescribed 50-0.2 mg twice a day. This medicine did work to relieve my back pain, but it came at a cost. It caused me to have severe stomach cramps and constantly feel nauseous. I had to stop taking the medicine because of this problem."


"I have been using lutera for 5 months now and it's horrible, it's the first time a birth control affects me like that. I totally lost my libido, like i'd rather watch the rain fall than have sex, I am the crankiest thing and I'm 1000 x more sensitive than i used to be. And I feel depressed about half the time, and I always was a happy person, I am going to my doctor today and there's no way I stay on that pill. I'd rather go back to using condoms even if i'm not a fan.. oh and my breasts hurt like they're gonna explode at any moment. Just the feeling of my bra touching them hurts. Don't take it.

"Had been in a great deal of pain for over 3 years was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 months ago.
My Doctor put me on Cymbalta 30mg once a day 2 weeks ago it took 5 days to kick in wow I am very pleased, I feel 90% pain free.
I feel tired but I would rather be tired then in pain. It's nice to sleep pain free."


"Had side effects include tingling and numbness throughout body, especially feet and fingers. It also made me edgy and quickly irritated."


"Did not really get the experience that I wanted. When I took this product, my runny nose and congestion did not go away. Instead, it made me get bloody noses with the runny nose. When I tried to blow it out, my congestion did not allow anything to go through. The cough and mucus did not seem to go away either. Do not buy this."


"I experienced horrible side effects with Geodon. I broke out in a rash over my entire body that itched like fiberglass. It took it for 21 days and it took another 21 days after stopping to finally stop getting new sores."


"I have trigeminal neuralgia which triggers pain in my head so bad I just want to take my head off. Normal migraine meds do not help for these migraines. Stadol is the only medicine that takes the pain away. Sometimes I need to take a Phenergan with a spray,  but other than some nausea I have no problems with Stadol. So far I have a nice doctor who just wants my pain to stop."


"Have tried this med as an add on to Lexapro twice in past year. Both times I felt an immediate (within 3 days) change/improvement. Started on .5 mg and stopped bc of weight gain. Several months of unrelenting depression strong suicidal thoughts/intentions despite exercise, avoiding alcohol, etc and I knew I had to try it again. Now 1mg and feel quite good. Sleeping pretty much through the night, except when hormonal, but that has been a consistent experience. Overall, I do use less Xanax on this medication. Appetite has increased, but has leveled off.  My physical exercise routine has also increased so I would say that I've only gained about 3-4 lbs total, whereas before I had gained about 7-9# previously."


"While the first 5 years of taking MS Contin seemed to be a better life, my tolerance increased to the point that I was taking nearly a gram a day (1,000 mg). The last 2 years have been spent getting off this medication, and I can assure you it was no cake-walk. I will never use this again, but as I said, when I needed it, it beat every other pain medication I tried hands down."


"My entire household had the Flu - type A.  My 6 month old baby went to the ER with a 104.7 fever rectally.  She tested positive for type A flu.  That's how we knew that's what everyone had.  I was the only person out of 4 to not get it at this point.  After taking 1 dose her fever was down.  When we missed her 3rd dose accidentally, her symptoms started to return (not fever though).  I could tell this was working.  I got the Flu a few days later.  I immediately went to urgent care.  They didn't have tests, but prescribed it for me since the baby tested positive.  I have to say this is the EASIEST Flu I've ever experienced.  I don't feel perfect, but it works!  Eat with it for nausea prevention."


"I am 26 years old. Never had acne problems, even as a teenage. Started breaking out badly due to starting Birth Control. Tried diff brands.. all the same. So went to Dermatologist. Started taking the Solodyn 65 once a day. First few months no real change. Actually it unfortunately got WORSE before it got better. First month the worst. I was very embarrassed. BUT good news. Stick with it. Its now been four months and I FINALLY see a change. Its been 4 months exactly now and I am just now feeling comfortable not wearing a ton of makeup. I still use a dap here and there but nothing like before. Only con is that the pimples I developed while on Solodyn seemed to linger. "


"Waste of time. Coughing increased. Doctor proscribed Qvar with Combivent; increased sputum along with green-black BB-size grease-balls.

Waste of time!"


"Love this medicine, no headaches."


"I have never written an online review but I felt the need! I was previously on lo lolestrin for years and just got blisovi in the mail claiming it is the "same pill but looks different". No way! Automatically I experienced headaches everyday, tiredness to where I can't even move, mood swings, and I feel hungover everyday! I usually eat healthy and work out but the first week I started taking the pill, I could barely move out of my bed. I eat less but crave greasy unhealthy foods which is not my usual diet whatsoever. I feel as if I'm retaining water. I also have cried every day the past week over nothing!!!!! So angry about this pill and that they can just switch pills without consulting ! also experience constant thirst. Stay away!!!!!"


"Well I tried the drug and it was not for me. I tried it for 2 months and there was no results. I have the same results from when I was trying on my own after 10 year so it does not even matter or make any difference. Whoever is trying this medicine, Good luck."


"Very good in preventing pregnancy. I have had Nexplanon for 18 months. However, it is TERRIBLE for me I have since gained 40 pounds! All within the first 6 months. I was a size 9 when I got this now am about a 12. I am having it removed in two weeks. Mind you that I had a really nice body and now am pushing the scale at 199lbs! I have learned my lesson!"


"Prescribed a half 50 mg tab at bedtime for a week.  It's been two days and I have no more headaches! Finally!  I have a strange side effect of pain in my private area though.  Does anyone else have this issue?  It's just annoying.  I hope it doesn't get any worse.  I've been looking for a migraine med that actually helps without too many side effects."


"I'm on 200mg and it has completely cured my insomnia and helped my chronic back pain. Non addictive and regardless of other posts, you do not build tolerance to this drug. I can't understand doctors who prescribe addictive, dangerous sleeping drugs over this!"


"Well I visited my Doctor for regular yearly medical check up. Upon reading my last blood test my A1C was 7.6 which she was scared for me was high. She ask me if want to try this new medication Trulicity. I said why not, side effect diarrhea but lost weight in four weeks from 308lb to 297lbs. And A1C from 7.6 to 6.2. And having a good ability to control  what I eat, lets say I don't feel like eating everything I see. For me trulicity works. I started on 0 .75mg now on double dose 1.5 which is not bad for the price $25 a week. Still taking my metformin 850mg. First time after my weight gain I have in control of what i eat."


"I noticed that many of the reviews on here extremely negative, but I can't say enough good things about this medication. It absolutely changed my life for the better! Most people won't go to the trouble of leaving a review unless they had a really bad experience. Don't let the bad reviews scare you...there are a lot of success stories too! I had VERY few and mild side effects(nausea the first night and cold sweats at night in the beginning). This medication reminded me what it felt like to be happy again and I finally got my life back! I used to be the first person to condemn using medicines for things like this and I went to it as a last resort because I was desperate, but I could not possibly be happier that I did it. Good luck! There is hope!"


"It is easier to use than the Testim or gel applications. No more sticky skin, no more acne on application area. Axiron does sting a little, but use deodorant before and follow directions. Not worried about sweating it off at the gym like Testim and the manufacturer is absorbing the cost for the first year."


"I have had a cluster headache and chronic migraine for 6 months with no relief what so ever and I just started taking this medication, and on day one it made my headache 100x worse and my nausea was so bad I was vomiting, by day 3 (yesterday) I was barely able to concentrate on anything or move because of my pain. Immediately stopped taking it."


"I had surgery and was told beforehand that I would experience constipation for 2-3 days afterwards. Five days later and I had gotten no relief. I had tried oral laxatives, prune juice, I drank plenty of water and ate tons of fruit. It eventually got unbearable and I had the most horrible cramps. I tried the Fleet Saline Enema for the first time and got immediate relief. I was initially thrilled with the results, however throughout the day and night I experienced some stomach spasms and diarrhea. They weren't terrible and were definitely not as bad as the constipation cramps and bloating. Just be aware it is a possibility before taking it. All in all I am very pleased with the Fleet Saline Enema."


"I am 34/Female with marked panic attacks. I have health /doctor office anxiety. I have to say Vistaril has done wonders for me. It seemed to take a few weeks before I could really feel it's effects though. I have to keep a small amount in my system before it helps with a panic attack. I can take 1-2 25 mg pills 3 X a day as needed for anxiety. I usually take 1/2 of a 25 mg pill twice a day. When I feel an attack starting, I take another 1 to 1 1/2 pills. It stops the attack quickly. I feel like I've got my life back some, & it feels like a safety blanket. It does dry my mouth out though & I only recommend it for marked anxiety. I do not have any depression."


"I've tried ortho-cyclen and microgestin 1/20 and diane 35 before. OC made me gain weight like crazy and I couldn't deal with the bloating; I also lost a ton of muscle mass. I've been on OTC -lo for about a week but I feel such a big difference in the degree of my side effects. I'm asian, 5'2" and 118lbs for reference. I don't feel nauseous at all, very minimal bloating, my skin's a bit clearer, and my sex drive's the same! I'm nervous about the tri-phasic style of the pill as I'm very sensitive to hormone shifts, so I may update my review after a months. I think people just really need to find a pill that most closely mimics their natural hormone levels and go up or down in estrogen and progestin as they observe the changes in their body."


"I am getting married in a few months and at my last GYN appt I discussed not wanting to be on my period during my honeymoon and if I had any options to avoid that total buzz kill. So, I began taking Microgestin 1.5/30. In the first 10 days of taking it I broke out in severe acne that included cysts, I became so moody that it can only accurately be described as a bipolar roller coaster, and I started spotting. After 10 days I quit taking this medication. I have taken several types of birth control pills in the past and have never has side effects like I did while on this pill. The only reason I didn't rate it lower than a 2 is because it could have done its job and prevented pregnancy but I didn't take it long enough to find out."


"I've been trying to find the right birth control for me for about 3 years now and this is by far my favorite! I've been on it for three months and it's helped me a lot with my cramps, I barely even have any, and when I do they are very manageable. I didn't gain any weight and I didn't have any breakouts. I did have some mood swings in the first month but by the second month I didn't have any. I did have a little breakthrough bleeding the first month but that only lasted about two days. I just finished my third pack and I have to say, it's amazing. I didn't have any cramps and I also didn't have a period! YAY! It's a keeper."


"After taking 15 mg oxycodone for 3 months for my back pain, Dr. decided to put me on 100 mg of tramodol every 6-8 hours as needed. After taking this medicine for only a week, I find it does Nothing for my pain, not even a little. I find taking this medicine for pain is a waste of money as well as whatever it does to your liver. Whoever approved this drug for pain, has never had to take it for pain. Absolutely worthless."


"Very effective but coming off is not fun. I wouldn't take it unless you have to I have severe anxiety and mild OCD and I'm choosing just not to take it. Side effects are real with this medicine. You'll be calm but at a price."


"I used this medication along with a benzoyl peroxide wash.  I agree, it has worked miracles for me.  I use them both at night and in the morning and it is very drying.  I don't mind that it dries my skin out, however, because it caused my skin to peel which made my scars go away very quickly. Sometimes I avoid using the cream on my face in the morning and just put lotion on because no one wants their face peeling during the day."


"I too get an asthma like cough once or twice a year following a cold. Usually I can treat with my puffers but this last attack had my husband taking me to the hospital because I couldn't breathe and the usual treatments weren't working. Prednisone has been so very helpful, I can breath again!"


"I've been on Sprintec for almost two years, and I can't say I'm too happy. Six months in I started break through bleeding and week early, elongated periods. It has also made my cramps ten times worse, and I start developing ulcers in my mouth a week before my period, and sometimes during. It does the job but for two weeks out of my cycles very frustrating to deal with early periods all of the time. Switching medications as soon as I can."


"I started this pill to alleviate migraines and prevent pregnancy. Overall, my experience with this pill has been wonderful from day one. I don't have any breakouts, no migraines,  no weight gain, and I haven't gotten my period once in the seven months I've been on it. The downside:  I'm overly emotional. I will cry over a commercial, now. And I'm paranoid all the time of being pregnant."


"I had a wart on my penis which the doctor froze and it disappeared. Later I noticed I had some warts around my anus. I went to the doctor, mortified, and was prescribed with Aldara cream. I used it as prescribed, three times and noticed some pain after the first week but didn't think much of it. I went back to the doctor for a check up and I was prescribed further Aldara cream. The pain after was agony. I had headaches and chemical burning to the point that I couldn't sit down for days. I stopped using the cream and bathed in Epsom Salt and used Aloe Vera. Subsequently I have continued to bathe in Epsom Salt and used Tee-Tree Oil. Although slow it works. Do NOT use Aldara Cream if you can avoid it, natural remedies are better and no pain!"


"I have been using amitriptyline for about 6 months. I have spinal arthritis and am in great pain daily. Some days pain is really bad. I now take 75mg at night time. Although pain is still there at least I know I'm going to have a good sleep. I do suffer from very dry mouth from this tablet and have also put on weight which again is a side effect. I feel this medicine has its uses but it didn't ease the pain for me."


"Getting it is a shot in the dark.

My periods were all over the place (sometimes twice a month, sometimes once every 3 months), excruciating pain on periods, heavy bleeding lasting for 7 days minimum. Twice during that 3 years, I've started spotting non stop for 1-2 months. The last straw was a period of constant spotting for 3 months that eventually transformed into bleeding. Today, 4 days after it's been taken out, I am still bleeding as much, and I became anemic. The constant wearing of pads has irritated my vagina. Sex is not even part of my life anymore, I just feel disgusting all the time... Kind of ironic when you think I got it as a birth control.

But hey, at least it didn't get lodged, so I'll give it 2 stars."


"I am in the first week of using it and I have A LOT of irritation and my skin is VERY dry. I didn't have much acne before and I have a lot now. Putting a lot of lotion helps the dryness but I am in need for the bumps to leave."


"Only been taking this drug for one week. My Pain Doc gave me some samples of Movantik 25mg.
Took it around 7am. By the 3rd day it started doing what I had read. However by the 6th day I had mild withdrawl. I still could function. I took my dose of ms contin 45mg and after about an hour I was feeling better. Today I asked my pharamacist about cutting it in half and she didn't see a problem. So I will let you know how that works out. I am supprised that many have related like total withdrawal symtpoms. For me OIC with IBS disables me about 3 days a week. I am so sick that anything is better. So at this point I am taking 45 mg Morpine ER 3 times a day. 1 10 mg Norco daily. I think with adjusting it that it will be helpful for me in the long run"


"I've been on it for 3 years. I got it renewed in March. I loved it the first three years I was on it. No period. No weight gain. Since I went back on it I gained 5 pounds. Nothing has changed in my diet either. I still don't get my period. Which is a blessing of course, but it makes me very moody. I don't want kids but I don't want to deal with my mood swings. Might take it out, but its wonderful form of birth control. My doctor said this birth control doesnt make you gain weight but everyone is different. Thinking about taking it out and just dieting."


"I am pre-diabetic and have been taking one pill a day for 5 days. I feel no negative side effects. I have just weaned off my other antidepressant so I am hoping this works as effectively as what I was previously taking. My goal weight is 30 more pounds but my body won't let me lose it with just diet and exercise. Hoping this works, I would like to prolong getting diabetes. I have lost 9 lbs in five days. I am also scared to eat but my blood sugar gets super low and then I try to eat just healthy foods."


"My elderly dad was prescribed a low dose of Ativan for anxiety. Within 2 weeks he started having auditory hallucinations and could not sleep because the "walls were talking to him". After he passed every physical test in an emergency visit to the local ER- from a cat scan to blood work and everything in between, the psychiatrist on duty matter of factly told me that Ativan has been known to cause delirium in elderly patients. "


"GREAT PILL! Last year, after being on a brand of birth control pill for 20 years with light, predictable and short periods, I began to have breakthrough bleeding, horrible cramping and bleeding. Lo Loestrin was the third pill my GYN put me on and after a week or so of spotting, light cramping, I haven't had a period since mid-December. So far so good on this prescription, I'm happy to have tried it."


"I'm 36 years old and I've had acne on and off since I was 12 years old. Within the last 5 years it has gotten significantly worse and I've tried just about every type of medicated treatment. Nothing really worked. I recently went to my Dermatologist for a refill on my Minocycline (oral antibiotic) and decided to ask about Aczone gel. I've only been using it for less than a week and I can't believe how well it's working on my face. I use it in conjunction with Minocycline.
My acne has significantly reduced and my face feels smooth. I'm very excited about the results and I highly recommend Aczone. It's definitely worth a try if you have painful, stubborn acne."


"I was taking Oxycontin after 2 shoulder surgeries, then I was in a bad auto accident. Even upping me to 80mg 2 x daily wasn't enough. My doctor suggested Oxyfast for breakthrough pain, so I tried it. This was the only combination that took away all my pain, so I could work and care for my family. At 29 yrs old I thought my life was over, but these 2 medications gave me my life back!"


"Being 24 years old, I have horrible sleep habits.  There are days I have to wake up early for school or work, and other days I sleep in, so the time that I go to sleep every night varies.  Also, when I have something happening in the morning (work, school, etc...), my mind is constantly racing while I am trying to sleep.  Now, before I go to sleep every night I take melatonin (The Natrol brand), and it definitely relaxes me so I can comfortably fall asleep.  Other sleeping pills I have previously used would make me wake up feeling groggy, still very tired, and with a migraine.  Unlike other sleeping pills, I wake up feeling refreshed after taking melatonin.  I would highly recommend."


"I have been taking this drug for a year now and its finally stopped the psychotic episodes I was having. It works for me anyway."


"I started taking Xanax .25 mg for generalized anxiety over the past few days and it has helped me feel relaxed, less worried and happy also hasn't affected me with any crazy side effects. (Which I was afraid of happening) I was so scared to take them but my anxiety was getting out of control so I figured I would give it a try and see how my body handles it. I'm going to continue taking one a day since it seems to be helping a lot. I don't worry and I feel calm, the pill does wear off after a few hrs and takes about 20-30 mins to kick in but my dr says it's safe to take another one as needed. I'm also doing counseling too and it is very helpful as well. Definitely recommend this for anxiety!"


"So I'm a 17 year old girl that's always active...loves to run and is always on the go. I've started using this birth control and now doesn't want to do anything but sleep. I know for a fact that its the pill because this isn't me at all. I'm feel lethargic as soon as 3:00pm hits, making it highly impossible to workout. I did also notice that it did increase my appetite. But no I didn't gain weight and my stomach feels fine. No cramps, bloating, or anything...just really tired."


"I've been on lithium for two months now, and honestly, it's given me my life back. I was treatment resistant for years, until Abilify came out. Unfortunately, that stopped working a few months ago, and in a fit of desperation, my doctor decided to add lithium. I was highly resistant, for many reasons, but I'm so glad I decided to try it. It took a few weeks to start feeling better, plus an increased dosage to 900 mg, but I honestly feel alive now. I'm better than I've been in years. In fact, we've started titrating me off the Abilify, which has had disastrous consequences in the past. I'm quite optimistic about my future now. The only side effect I've had is the tremors. Fingers crossed the nastier side effects stay away, amiright?"


"I have tane Zarah for almost a year now and I had to share my experience with others. this pill is extremely affective with me as a birth control and as an acne pill. My boobs have gotten a little bigger than they were, but that is  depending on your body. It works different for each person and for me it has been an amazing experience."


"Tamiflu worked great for me. I was up moving around and feeling much better after the second dose. The only side effect I experienced was a little insomnia, but that could have been caused by the flu itself. Remember, like any other drug, results vary by individual. Tamiflu is not a miracle drug, and will not work the same for everyone."


"Made my symptoms worse - so much for 24 hour relief."


"My doctor started me on this drug after Prozac (which gave me terrible side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, sleeplessness, anxiety) and cipralex/lexapro (which didn't change my mood at all) both didn't work for me. I was about four months shy of my 18th birthday, but, according to my doctor, it was alright since I've achieved my "adult body". This medication is, by far, the best one I've tried. No side effects at all, and a great improvement to mood. I'm giving it a 9/10 only because it didn't cheer me up the way Prozac did (despite all the side effects) but that could be due to my lifestyle and not the medication."


"I was given Vistaril for PTSD/AAD (Acute Anxiety Disorder) and I really don't like it. Initially it helps with anxiety but if I am stressed at all or put in a situation with stress its so much worse than without the medicine. It also makes it really difficult to function normally; I feel like I'm wading through jello and my brain is about 4 seconds behind. We are going to try Xanax at my next visit."


"I'm 24, and have been plagued with acne since my teens. Two years into college, I started to get hormonally-triggered acne along my jawline; more cyst-like and painful that what I was used to getting on my face.

I had been living with it, managing only through OTC topic salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, but it was only getting worse. My skin also changed in my early 20s, becoming more sensitive and dry, but simultaneously oily (if you have it, you'll get it. Otherwise, I know it sounds like a contradiction of terms).

It was basically a mess; I didn't know what to do, and was considering accutane. My derma prescribed aczone, and while I had my reservations the first few weeks, less than two months later my skin is practically acne free."


"Worked well and fast, easy to use, no stank, quick dry and GREAT price with discount card."


"The pill Zolpidem ‘s dosing is inconsistent with each pill. I cannot sleep!"


"I used to be incapacitated during my period due to cramps and id never remember when the blood would start. This almost eliminated my cramps, lightened the flow and shortened my period. As a plus, the pill packaging makes it super easy to remember when to break out the pads. I dont think I saw any side effects but that might be because I already had headaches and nausea."


"I've been on Contrave for right at one month.  The first week and a half I experienced extreme dry mouth, but easily fixed by drinking lots of water.  After first week, I also started with constipation.  Colace rectified the problem, but working with dr for a better solution.  Around third week, I started experiencing the mild headaches.  Mild as in I knew it was there, but it didn't interfere with my day.

I'm feeling great!  My appetite has decreased significantly, and the joy I get from eating (which is what caused the problem in the first place) has diminished.  I have the energy to get up and move throughout the day.  I've lost 10 pounds, most of which came off the last week.  Hoping that means it will start coming off quickly."


"I have had major surgery for osteochondrites dessicans when I was a young adult, and recently have begun to experience chronic Pain (bad) difficulty bending my Knee, and was prescribed 50,000 units once a week for 8 weeks, by my PCP not the orthopedic surgeon, and I am shocked my pain has dropped to almost non existent, knee bends fine."


"I have been suffering with borderline personality disorder almost my entire life. Within a few days of taking Seroquel I noticed an incredible difference in my mood balance, my paranoia. The biggest difference I noticed was I no longer felt the need to be in crisis. Social settings were easily handled, my work life improved overnight. I used to use alcohol to expand on my crisis moments & friends and family believed me a hopeless alcoholic. Now I have no urge to drink. I wake up focused, ready and able to face the day. Most of my days are almost completely positive. I would recommend."


"I had a cystic breakout before my wedding and my doctor prescribed me Solodyn. After a week they have all gone either completely away or almost barely there away. Love this stuff! I didn't experience any side effects."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Worked fine. Mix water with crystal light lemonade first then let it get to room temp. Then mixed in MoviPrep. Tasted fine. My problem is the side effect 24hrs after the last dose. Lots of stomach discomfort and bloating, not from procedure since it had to be cancelled because doctor was away. Yuk...have to do this again next week....he did reimburse me the 50bucks for the script."


"Living with a brain tumor and suffering for years with blinding migraines IT IS THE SINGLE ONLY THING THAT RIDS MY MIGRAINES! I ONLY relay on it when the pain is so intense I am bedridden. I use about 80 pills per year. It usually always works if Exederin does not. No nausea or vomiting like with other expensive migraine so called wonder medicines! No bad drowsiness either!  It is a God send for my pain! I have found nothing else comparable."


"I became extremely suicidal. Just starting to get better now with Wellbutrin. Be careful."


"I have been on Meridia since April 1 and went for my weigh in again, and as of June 5 I have lost 22 lbs. I have had no side effects at all. I have tried everything in the past to lose weight and this is the only product that has worked for me. I give it 10/10."


"I have been taking Lutera for a year. It has protected against pregnancy very well.  My periods are much lighter and I almost never get cramps.  I have missed 2 periods which was a little scary.  I have gained about 8 pounds and I crave sweet foods even more than I used to.  My breasts are slightly bigger.  I feel tired if I don't get at least 10 hours of sleep.  My sex drive is slightly lower.  I do have a mood swing usually about once a month where I cry about anything and everything for 2 days.  I have always felt more emotional right before my periods, but I did not cry as much before.  I think I am going to switch birth control because of the weight gain.  Other than that, the side effects do not bother me."


"Probably the worst method I ever used. I immediately felt like I had been possessed. My moods and anger were so extreme. I nearly killed my partner on two occasions. I could not control or explain my behaviour. I also spent the whole year on my period. Literally not a single day off. My sex drive completely disappeared, and I had frequent urine and vaginal infections. The second I had the implant removed, my behaviour and body instantly went back to normal. Sadly though, I have not recovered from the events that occurred while I was on it. A lot of damage was done thanks to those psycho hormones."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I used Suprep for the first time on my third colonoscopy and this was by far the easiest, most predictable prep I've had. Unfortunately, I was prescribed the Golytely for my first two and had the exact opposite experience. With Suprep there was no difficulty swallowing, no nausea/dry heaving, no delayed effect. Although the taste isn't desirable, it by no means is awful.

I chilled the first bottle for 30 minutes before mixing it with water and chugging it down. About an hour later and after I finished the extra water, it was flowing well. My colonoscopy is at 1:00 today and I was up early to finish, following what I did the night before. The bowel movement is mostly clear now and I'm expecting a good result this afternoon."


"I just started and noticed that it works faster than most other bacterial vaginitis meds but the side effects are nausea, red spots on my arm, and a little joint pain and some dizziness. I am a runner as well, I got very dizzy while running and on this pill."


"If you're reading this right now, it's probably because you're worried about whether this antibiotic will work for you or not. I was diagnosed with chlamydia about a month ago and was in tears day in and day out because I was so worried that the chlamydia might have spread, considering I had no idea my cheating ex had given it to me a year prior. (Pathetic, I know) Well anyways, I was prescribed 4 pills, I took 2 pills at the same time for 2 days consecutively (1g or 1000mg in total to be exact) I had no side effects. The burning sensation while I urinated went away in two days. This antibiotic honestly was heaven sent.
P.S, I went to the doctor today for my Test of Cure and I am completely infection free! USE THIS!"


"I started this medicine a week ago and found that I actually have energy again.  After years of being so tired after work I have to drag myself through the evening just waiting and wishing to go to bed. Now I can play with my kids, do some housework and even relax for a while after I have accomplished so many things.  I have done more in a week than in the last month.  And I feel like planning things (like outing with friends and vacations) and I am excited about them instead of feel like it was just another thing I HAD to do.  I have had a little insomnia, but I find if I take it in the morning, I am ok by evening and sleep fairly well.  I think and am eating more, so I will have to watch. Overall, good experience, hope it lasts!"


"Not only did this medication reduce the symptoms of IBS which for me felt like problems with my heart (which in turn drove up my anxiety), it also gave me the best sleep I had in months. I experienced no side-effects while using it. That said, long-term use could become detrimental, best discuss with your Dr."


"Zanaflex considerably reduced my back pain, headaches, muscle spasms, mandibular stress-related spasms and overall pain associated with spasticity due to neuromuscular condition. I take 2mg as I am small framed and thin person. I take it at bedtime to offset the 2 hour tiredness effect following ingestion. It works well for me."


"My psychiatrist gave me sample packs of Viibryd to try out. It was my first antidepressant I had been on. It worked fantastic the first 2-3 weeks. I had no side effect problems, my energy was back to normal, and most importantly, my depression and suicidal thoughts had gone away. After the 3 weeks, everything returned back to normal. I feel worse than I used to before I was on the medicine and my suicidal thought have returned. Maybe it just wasn't for me."


"After 1 month of losing my girlfriend and her mom in a horrible head on collision and balling my eyes out everyday feeling sooo lost i needed help!!

     Doctor put me on Zoloft 50mg for the first week to up it to 100mg thereafter... im on day 4 & feel much better already not thinking so much of my loss.

    The only sides ive felt are slight headache & slight nausea but now i have put down the box of kleenex from crying soooo much & can relax better ...im going to continue to take it cuz the thinking of my loss constantly was nothing less than the worst time of my life ."


"This helps with pain and also restless leg syndrome. Also helps you sleep."


"I'm only giving lolo a 4/10 because it's "low hormone" and I feel ok about taking it but oh my god my experience has been terrible. My doctor ended up giving me a years supply do to certain circumstances so I figured I had to just keep taking it and hope it gets better but ever since I started its just been the worst. I've been on it for about 7 to 8 months now and I still get 4-5 days of break through bleeding in between actual period days. Pretty sure it's made me gain a fair bit of weight, I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I'm constantly nauseous, there are times more often now where I have no appetite, everything I eat hurts my stomach and will cause diarrhea. Im going off of it because I can't remember the last time I actually felt OK."


"I was good the first two days on this medicine but on the third day I got lots of itching and skin sensitivity. I was hoping this would work for me but it did not."


"Taken for lower back pain - sciatica... 5/325's and finding relief at by spreading it throughout the day, but side effects are bad for me (pretty serious dizziness, even some hallucinations).

I've never been prescribed it before - pain relief is good, but have side effects. Starting physical therapy which might help in long run. "


"I hope no one makes a desicion based on other peoples opinion.  I didnt at first like it becuz o fcouse 8/2 sounds like more than 4/2, so as an addict more is always better, But all of our bodys absorb meds diffrently, it can depende on alot of things. Subs do give u more energy and takes an hour to dissolve I wake up an hour before it is time to get up and put it in then go back to sleep for an hour so that  I'm good to go when I wake up...smart huh"


"This shot is no good.
I gave birth on aug.17 and at the hospital they gave me the depo shot before I was discharged.
Everything was regular I was bleeding everything out then my 6 weeks were up and I was still bleeding so I thought it was just my period but its now oct 8 and I'm still bleeding its so frustrating,
No doctor told me that it made you bleed like crazy and also another nurse told me that this shot stops your breastmilk but no doctor is giving out this information.
I regret it !"


"BC I have a Morena birth control, headaches are a side effect and can be as painful as a migraine. I ran out of IBU so my husband told me to get more but try Excedrin. My headache was gone w/I 30 min and I had energy. I'm never going back to IBU again. Plus 4 hours later, my headache is still gone, no need to pop more pills!"


"Let me save y'all the trouble. 9 pages of reviews and every last one of our toots are on fire. This product itches and burns like the devil. After insertion, give it a few minutes, and get ready for agony. I have noticed daytime symptoms from YI are gone and swelling went away after first use. Laying here wondering if I can finish the treatment. I'm on day 5 of 7 using Monistat. Praying for this experience to end - and fast!!"


"I started Trintellix/Brintellix 9 months ago and it worked good for depression except I was recalling memories from the past which were disturbing, and I seemed more sensitive to negative issues in the world.   This felt odd and disturbing but I stayed on it.  I had no weight gain but in the beginning I had severe esophagus pain and ear pain which came and went for months... Oh ya, I also threw up the first few weeks. This drug made me hyper for months and then a month ago , I crashed and went into a depression.. Well, I think it's time to go back on cymbalta.  I gave Trintellix/Brintellix a good try.  Strange drug.  Hope the withdrawal isn't too severe."


"I started Chantix two years ago on June 5th with an expected quit day of June 12th. I didn't even make it a week, on the fifth day, I looked down at the cigarette with disgust and threw it away and gave my pack away. The easiest part was taking the pill, I knew if I took it, I was one day closer to being smoke free! I went back for my second month, and she told me it was $192. I told her I already paid that at the beginning, she said it was only for the first month. I ended up not getting the second month and remained smoke free for over a year! I smoked one cigarette at a party and the next day I had a pack in my pocket. My greatest advice, is to realize that once you make it, you can NEVER try it again! One cig= relapse!"


"This medicine took 3 weeks to fully kick in. I had the side effect of increased appetite, but I haven't gained any weight because I eat a low carb diet and workout 4 times a week. I do not have any side effects anymore and this mostly controls my temporal lobe epilepsy."


"I've been taking 10 mg of Lexapro for almost 4 months now. Before I started Lexapro, I was very depressed and I wanted to end my life. Now that I am taking Lexapro the depression is gone but with a few side effects. I am thankful for this medication, but it does make me feel emotionless, restless, tired and I now have an extreme lack of motivation. I plan on talking to my doctor about this soon and hopefully I can find a better medication that will suit me better."


"I went psycho while on this medication. Ended up in a mental hospital. I couldn't control myself!"


"I have been on the medication about a month I take 30mg at night along with 20mg of Paxil. They seem to work great together I have no anxiety attacks anymore I fall right asleep within 10 min of taking them the only problem I have seen so far is that it's extremely difficult to stay awake during the day and I am ALWAYS hungry. I can eat several meals a day and all I think about all day is food I have gained 20 lbs in one month of taking this medication."


"Way too much maintenance.  Need too remove the lacquer nail polish with Acetone once a week.

I'VE been using this for 6 months without any sign of improvement."


"Hey all,
I am writing both as a user and a person seeking additional information on Seroquel XR. I have been on it for about three months. I have found that it eliminated the manic phase of my diagnosis, as well as anxiety. However, tapering back and forth due to side effects has made it difficult to make consistent observations and I have suffered depression and even suicidality as a result. What have others experienced on this topic? I understand bipolar disorder is a multifaceted illness and therefore should be treated from both angles. Are most of you on more than one medication in conjunction with seroquel? I understand I have also had a difficult time taking it as prescribed and this may have hindered my results. Thank you."


"Awful. Horrendous mood swings. Depression. Anxiety. Night sweats."


"Works well for my migraines. First couple of times taking it, caused my jaw to feel tight, and makes me pretty sleepy."


"Weight gain ++, excessive sweating.  Moods great. Win some,  losing some"


"No doubt that Advair was effective at clearing up my lungs so that I could breath (most important). However, I did have the noted side effect of nausea... so as far as eating is concerned, I dont enjoy eating (cant taste anything) while I am on this medication"


"I was given this medicine for anxiety and depression, after a month of taking the 37.5mg this medicine has increased my symptoms of anxiety and depression substantially. Also since I have started taking this medication I have developed some new symptoms such as mania and hallucinations. The pains attacks associated with this medicine are horrifying as well. The most disturbing thing about the drug, to me, is the extremely lifelike and vivid dreams that make you believe you've been up all night but in reality you've been asleep, this makes waking up very difficult because it's hard to tell if you're awake or not. This is an extremely powerful drug, I would discuss other options with your doctor before trying Effexor XR"


"The best medication I have ever taken for my migraines. Works fast, and I very rarely have to take a second dose. I rated it as a 10."


"OK so over all this pill works but ...DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL  I read all of the other posts/boards and said screw it I'm gonna drink...big nono .. I had one beer and felt like death...and I'm not sure why but I took that stupid pill 6 months ago and now EVERY TIME I drink I wake up feeling like death ...even if its only 1 beer.... try to take something else I'm not sure it's worth it"


"I have severe PMDD and Sarafem has been a God send!  Being 40 and already going through the change made it worse!  I take 20 mg each night before bed and have noticed the total difference.  More laughing less mood swings.  I would definitely recommend."


"It never stops the sore from appearing. It becomes big, swollen and very painful. Also, it takes over a week to heal and during the one to two week outbreak it remains very tender and sore. Ouch..... Its ineffective treatment for me. I am however very happy that it works well for others."


"I love this product because it works amazingly well to clear up my acne. I do still get pimples but they're rarely bad and for the most part I don't get huge breakouts anymore.

The only drawback for me is the smell. I was told to leave it on overnight, and I have to disagree with a previous commenter that this product does not smell. As with any other sulfur product, it smells like sulfur. The longer you use it for the worse it gets. I have to throw out my sheets and sleep shirts every 6 months because they stink, and I can't ever wash them with anything I wear in public. I also have to be good about exfoliating, or the smell starts to stick to me too.

I do think this product is worth it if sulfur is your only option, but be prepared!"

"I had been prescribed this by my MD.  I have Crohn's for past 6 years after first being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in 03'.  Had colon removed due to UC for "cure" in 05'.  I go between constipation and diarrhea normally since operation, but diarrhea mostly b/c no I have no colon.   Been having problems with constipattion, bloating & feeling toxic on & off for past several months.  The first day I tried this I was having such severe abdominal cramping.  I went one time whet there was moderate diarrhea, (again normal because I can't form solid stool due to no colon).  After that I was on and off the toilet MULTIPLE times with little coming out, but enough to excoriate my butt.  Couldn't even keep up with cream I was using.  The awful cramping continued."


"I used this prep only after the Dr. gave me a coupon that brought the cost down from $135 to $40. Talk about money down the toilet. I was instructed to take 1st dose at 6 p.m. & 2nd dose at 4 a.m. for colonoscopy at 10 a.m.. Had first BM at 7:30 and 4th BM around 2:30 a.m.. After 2nd dose at 4 a.m., no BM until 7:30 a.m. & still nowhere near running clear. Around 8 am, intense cramping began with very violent BM's.  Passed out & became very weak. Doctor said to go to ER. Colonoscopy was canceled & they gave me fluids & was released by 11 a.m.. Still continued to have BM's 17 hours after 2nd dose. BM's didn't start running clear until 12 hours after 2nd dose. I am a 54 year-old male who is healthy & active."


"LORZONE IS AMAZING. I would recommend this muscle relaxer to anyone who doesn't want to feel drowsy or have the hangover feeling the next morning! I was prescribed to the 750mg 3-4 times a day."


"I have been struggling with acne since I graduated high school. It got REALLY BAD. Around that time (high school) is when I first took isotretinoin. I took it for about 3 months and it worked wonders for me. However 8 years later the bad acne has reappeared. I take Amnesteem now. I'm in my second week and its making it worse. I don't remember this medicine doing this the first time. The only side effects I've experienced was dry lips, dry skin and dry eyes so far. I hope this gets better for me. If it does I will update this comment."


"I found out I had PCOS in 2013 after trying to get pregnant for 3 yrs! I had started to gain weight slowly over the course of a year "25lbs". My doctor started metformin in August of 2014 and by September dropped 10lbs and by December a total of 28lbs. I'm 5'2 and that brought me back to about 128, a healthy weight! I found out in Febuary of 2015 I was pregnant!!! I had a healthy baby boy in Oct 2015 and I believe it was metformin!!!"


"I started smoking at 14 and was given a sample of Chantix when I was 46.  For 36 years smoking was part of my life, when my doctor handed me a pharmaceutical sample of Chantix I laughed.  One day, I opened the box and within a week I was no longer smoking, 7 years later and I remain smoke free with absolutely no desire to ever touch another cigarette!  I did not experience the side effects, chewed cinnamon gum for a few weeks and was stunned at how there was no withdrawal.  This is simply the best there is to quit smoking! "


"This is absolutely the WORST birth control I have taken in my life. I switched to Junel Fe, because my previous birth control wasn't a high enough dosage to even slightly relieve my horrible periods. Not even 3 days after starting taking it I literally cry for no reason and I am very emotional and irritable. This pill turned me psycho. Do NOT recommend it at all."


"I get Humira from the VA and have been on it for a couple of years.  I only inject about once a month even though I am suppose to use it once every two weeks.  It works well, but I am concerned about side effects.  I got Shingles once after taking the shot.  I am assuming because it lowers my immune system.  However, it is  worth the risk overall and significantly has reduce my pain and pretty much stopped the  progression.  I also take Piroxicam daily."


"I never had an allergic reaction until I took this medication, now I learned the hard way I'm allergic to sulfa drugs. After one dose I had a lot the serious side effects: high fever, intense stomach pain, insomnia, hallucinations, anxiety, non-stop chills/shaking, vomiting, rash. Needless to say I ended up in the hospital for 3 days. I think my that you need to be careful when taking the drug and be aware of all the serious side effects."


"I use Alesse for my acne, I didn't have that bad acne but I started 3 months ago and my acne got worse since then and won't totally clear up. Some days my face is not that bad and sometimes it's bad and it bothers me since before taking this pill my acne was controllable. I think this product is not that helpful for acne, well that's just for me but I don't know about others, everyone is different and has different skin."


"I have had this in for about a month now, maybe longer. But so far I have had non stop bleeding, no sex drive, horrible mood swings, crying uncontrollably, hot flashes, so tired all the time...I mean exhausted. Terrible cramps, so bad I can barely walk at times. Stomach pains, I have no appetite I take one bite of something and I feel like I just ate a four course meal. I swear it seems like every possible side effect there is I have. Just not meant for me I guess."


"In February 2014, Forest Laboratories, the makers of Armour Thyroid, was bought by the drug company Actavis for $25 million.  I recently finished a batch that I had on hand since May of 2014 and was doing quite well with no side effects.  As soon as I started a new batch that I purchases in October of 2014, I noticed the difference within a few days: I started itching, being warm and lacking sleep.  Before I was sleeping very well regularly while now I'm having a lot of trouble.  I think that I will be looking for some other alternative after I see my doctor, preferably Nathroid, and Westhroid.  Why would Actavis change the composition of a good product and make it worst?  After being a 'happy' individual with Armour for several years, it's time to move on."


"I was perscribed lutera, and when i went to the pharmacy they gave me orsythia instead because it was more affordable for me, yet an equivalent of lutera. As of recently I have been experiencing a lot more headaches and migraines, which my doctor warned me about (since I have family and personal history of severe migraines). I haven't gained any weight, my periods are very light and about 4 days long. They start on the third inactive pill. In addition, my breasts have increased in size but not been tender.  I like orsythia. I was very paranoid about taking birth control, but orsythia was a lot better for me than I expected, however if my migraines continue I will need to switch :("


"Lantus has been amazing for me. I struggled for so long with high blood sugar numbers and Lantus has changed that for me. I actually have normal numbers now! Lantus Solostar is so easy to use and completely painless! Its been incredible. Just one injection lasts all day long. Also Lantus doesn't peak so no low blood sugars here! I recommend Lantus and give it a ten rating. I can't stress enough how amazed I am on how well this product works! I was struggling with my blood sugar being high for so long and nothing seemed to be working! I tried pills, other insulins and still I was high! After taking Lantus my blood sugar level was actually normal! It continues to stay normal now. I was so surprised at first I even double checked my meter!"


"I suffer from severe allergies & thought I would try something new, I have taken this going on 2 weeks and all I feel is tired and sleepy- placebo medication?"


"I started taking these after being hospitalized and given blood transfusions and iron. They recommended this and said it would help me. The first two weeks it did help a little. The third week is when everything started to change. I realized I had no energy to get out of bed. Simple things like brushing my teeth or taking a shower felt like the hardest things to do. I didn't want anyone to talk to me. I lost interest in my favorite tv shows and other things I always used to enjoy. My hair started falling out and I was always nauseous. I wouldn't eat ANYTHING! I started having heart palpitations and walking from one room to the next made me fatigued and dizzy. My body began to shut down. I do not recommend!!!"


"I've had it since September 2015. At first I'd spot here & there, then 2 weeks at a time. To sum things up my period has been on since Halloween & it's January now. The only side effects are that sometime when lifting heavy objects I get really weak, also it's made me very nauseous to any smell."


"I love Lexapro. I was taking Savella before and had to stop due to side effects. Now I'm on Lexapro and I love it. It takes away 95% of my pain and takes away my depression and anxiety at the same time. It's amazing."


"I have sciatica and have been in bed for 1 week.  I've been taking Lortab 7.5/500 but it doesn't seem to work very well for me. "


"I went to my doctor on the 11th of November. I began taking them as soon as I left the office. I went in for a follow up on the 15th, I lost 5lbs with no exercise, no change in my diet. I have little to no want for food. Going to try Zumba 5 days a week. My job doesn't allow me to go to the gym, only weekends I will work out 2 hours a day. We shall see."


"I have been on Celexafor about 10 years now after many medications this has been the best for my anxiety, etc thus far without much of any side effects at all."


"I've RLS for more than a decade. Its hereditary. My respected mother also suffered from it.
From last one year it became too intensive to sleep. Requip and other drugs for RLS my neurologist gave didn't work on me. My orthopedic gave me Tramadol for lower backache. SURPRISE!! My legs stopped jumping that night. Since then I'm on it. Unfortunately it doesn't cure it so I've to take it one pill 50mg every night. Dr said Tramadol is habit forming so Now I'm trying alternative medicine like homeopathy and Ayurved. Let's see. Meanwhile thanks to Tramadol that's letting me sleep."


"I am taking contrave for 3 months have not lost anything. I am paying the $300 a bottle for nothing, because my medical insurance won't cover it, the only thing I noticed  is my nerves are over whelming , I am so angry more then usually, my question is  I am taking zoloft as well - is this changing the effects of the contrave ,if so why didn't any one say something. Like my doctor. At times I feel like ripping someones head off"


"I had a heart attack in 2014, my doctor put me on lipitor 10 to 40mg a day with very little effect, then 10 to 40mg or crestor with very little effect.  My LDL was 115 and HDL was 39.  Then he put me on Repatha, after 6 weeks my LDL is now 41 and my HDL is 51.   The only side effect that I have noticed is a very little bit of congestion.  Of course the big drawback from this drug is the cost.  At $14,000 a year it is going to be hard to get past the insurance company.  But it does work."


"I also take Neurontin.  Initially, it was for Periformis Syndrome (a pinched sciatic nerve, which replicates sciatica).  Then I started to experience RLS and didn't sleep for a week.  My doctor told me to take extra Neurontin and I'm sleeping through the night now."


"Just started on this medication for bipolar II disorder and I also have borderline personality disorder according to the psychiatrists. I switched from abilify because I had a recent suicide attempt while on it. After starting latuda, I have not experienced any lows but it is hard to tell if it is the medication or the nature of my mood swings. Haven't felt hypomanic in quite a while however. Just note, it is important to take this med with at least 350 calories of food because that will allow the drug levels to reach an optimal concentration in your body, otherwise the drug is not doing too much. I am a pharmacist so I know quite a bit about drugs."


"Well, I take it 150 MG daily every morning generic brand aka fluvoxomine for over 10 years. Along side .5 MG of xanax 2 times  a day for anxiety/Panic attacks.  We recently increased from 150 to 200 mgs after 10 years .  Due to anxiety, depression,  hopeless feelings, medicine phobia,  general fear , and religious ocd Creeping back in my mind.  Day 3 I had headache, and felt confused. I felt like nothing mattered. Even doing regular house chores like dishes. By day 5 I was numb to all.  Felt like crying but couldnt.  My doctor has decreased me back to 150 mg."


"Campral has saved my life! I tried rehab and AA and was drinking again right away. The cravings controlled me and I felt panicked if I did not have money for my vodka everyday. I remembered a nurse in detox telling me about Campril. I was in The Orchid Recovery Center for women in Florida. I remember I was leaving recovery and I was nervous I would drink at the airport on the way home and I requested Campril, the Orchid said no that's a cop out do it on your own. Well screw them because I went back to drinking. Honestly rehabs would go out of business because Campral works! It started working on the first pill I swallowed! Cravings are gone I feel like me again! I drank everyday before! Now I don't miss it, want it! 8 days in no drinks! :)"


"30 years old, mother of a 3-year-old, and previously had the Skyla IUD for 3 years and replaced it with Kyleena after those three years. I had Kyleena inserted on November 8. As for insertion, it was fine. The insertion of the IUD was uncomfortable but not painful or unbearable. What actually hurt and made me gasp was when the NP inserted the measuring device to measure how deep my cervix was.  The removal of Skyla and insertion were easy. Not painful just uncomfortable and I did not take pain meds before or after. Apparently I have a high pain tolerance according to the NP.

As for noticeable side effects, I bled for about a week but not a biggie. I used thicker panty liners and was fine. Light cramping but only that week."


"I have been on this medicine for over a year and it worked really well at first now my hair is thinning and I'm having joint pain."


"I recently underwent radiation therapy for uterine cancer.  It made my IBS (predominately diarrhea) 10x worse.  It was so bad I couldn't eat anything without making me feel sicker.  My oncologist suggest Imodium which didn't work until she added Lomotil to the Imodium.  Together it works and I can do activities without worrying about another episode."


"First off, Suprep cleans you out very effectively, which is appealing for GI docs as it makes their job possible. The downside (for the patient) is the taste, which is an absolutely appaling, cherry cough syrup, saltwater horror show. I'm honestly amazed I didn't vomit. Tips: keeping the stuff as cold as possible and sucking on a lemon between gulps is a help but leaving out the cherry flavoring would have been a big plus people."


"I've been on Pristiq now for 4 months and it has changed my life for the better. Pristiq needs time to work though. During the first few weeks I had no desire to eat anything. Then after the 3rd week I got my appetite back. I've went from 150 pounds 3 months ago to 170 today. Back to where I was. I've gotten energy back whilst on Pristiq and my desire to do things has returned. To those who are optimistic about Pristiq I recommend that you give it a chance."


"I am a 42 yr old male and I have been susceptible to migraines since I was very little. My worst childhood memories are of me moaning and rocking back and forth in agony on my bed when suffering from my very first migraines as an 8 or 9 yr old child.  I too have not had any luck with Imitrex and some of the other medicines mentioned in this post. My insurance gives me terrible problems when I am trying to get a migraine prescription filled. As it is right now I have figured out that Axert and Maxalt are the only two medicines that I know will work for certain when I am afflicted and totally incapacitated by migraine headaches.  The problem with Axert is that my insurance will only allow a monthly script of 6 tablets at $10/tablet. Maxalt does it for less dollars."


"Not sure if I have Chlamydia or not but had unprotected sex with someone who does, and he told me a month later. I took monistat at the same time.

I started by eating at 6:45 pm. Read all the reviews, got scared. Took the four pills at 8:30pm. Was so anxious all night because I thought I'd get sick. I took the pills with a full bottle of water and two crackers. (I used to have a birth control that made me sick, and I'd eat small things with it). Every half hour I drank more water and ate another cracker. I barely had any cramping all night. I had an awful time sleeping, but idk if that was the pills or just me being nervous. Took a hot shower at like 1am... Went to bed and woke up at 8:30am still doing okay. Good luck, have safe sex!"


"I have been on Latuda for over 1 year. I am on 40 mg now. I have become very mean to everyone.  My family has pretty much disowned me. They told me that I should be able to control myself since I know there is a problem.  I have had a hard time getting my doctor to take me off of it. I will show her these reviews tomorrow."


"Diagnosed January 2017; started treatment on Genvoya, now 7 days in, absolutely zero problems.  I notice a common theme of some of the negative comments ... Only one user mentions having taken Genvoya with a regular meal (and his experience has been positive); most users give no indication when they are taking the medication - I take mine at 5:30am with a small meal.  Also it seems that users whom may be or have been on some other treatment besides Genvoya have the commonly attributed side effects that they mentioned - numbness, dizziness, forgetfulness, maybe a rash of some sort.  I haven't had any such isuues.   However, I notice that my skin seems to be easily cut when I'm shaving."


"I've been on this medication for 5 days for a sinus infection. It's definitely helping, but I'm not enjoying the side effects. I have a sore neck and it feels like my brain is vibrating at times. I get panicky and nervous, have cold sweats, and it feels like my insides are shaking. I'm taking more of my anxiety medicine to offset the panic, which is helping, but it's also making me pretty doped up which I don't like."

"I have been taking Tri-Sprintec for a little over a month now. I have only had one bad side-effect, but it was because I missed a pill and took two the next night. I woke up around 5 am and was nauseous, had chills, and was sweating. I got sick a couple of times, but I think this is due to taking two pills. Other than this one experience, everything else has been great. Lighter, shorter periods, no cramps, less acne, no weight gain, no mood swings."


"I've been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (although I don't get psoriasis) and have had one injection of Enbrel. It's amazing. Worked straight away. I've been on multiple NSAIDs, DMARDs, etc. for many years and this is the first thing that's worked properly. Fingers crossed it continues."


"This drug has been amazing for me over the past week that I've been taking it. My experience does not match the other reviews here in any way. I take Movantik in the early morning, and a few hours later I have a bowel movement %u2014 a normal bowel movement, not diarrhea. It's been very good for me."


"I take Fycompa together with vimpat, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam. These drugs have made me seizure free.

I had video EEG monitoring and this changed my life. My neurologist determined the lobe of my brain that was involved and placed me on the correct meds.

If any of you cannot become seizure-free please ask your doctor to consider video EEG monitoring. Without this I would still have seizures."


"When switching to a lower dose of birth control, my pharmacy switched me from Microgestin to Blisovi.  Within 24-48 hours after my first dose, I developed an itchy rash on my abdomen.  I went to the doctor who suspected it was an allergic reaction and prescribed a steroid cream.  The rash continued to spread and increase in severity, until I stopped the Blisovi."


"2007 - Put on 750 mg/day of Depakote alongside Lithium 800 mg/day.  Killed libido stone dead.  Did not help stabilise mood but worked away destabilising good lithium effect.  Found this out after stopping Depakote 2014.  Depakote has caused prostate cancer which was removed by radical prostatectomy June 2014.  So it has caused me to be severely incontinent now, with erectile dysfunction.  This month June 2016 it has been confirmed I have Multiple Myeloma a blood cancer.  Depakote is the suspected trigger again.  These effects result from being put on Depakote for seven years with no investigation of physical symptoms being reported to "psychiatric professionals""


"This medication was prescribed to me for a bladder infection. After I took the second dose I woke in the middle of the night with the worst headache I've ever had in my whole life! I literally thought I might have to go into see the doctor. After it subsided I read all the reviews I could about this medication and it side effects.  It seemed as though it was starting to work for my bladder infection but the terrible side effects were not worth it. I called my doctor and they prescribed Cipro instead. It took care of my infection with no side effects."


"I take birth control mostly to take care of my extremely heavy periods and hormonal acne. This is by far the best birth control I have been on for ME. I originally started on Zovia 1/35 (after already trying 2-3 different kinds of pills), which worked beautifully for a year until I began experiencing spotting and my DR recommended upping the estrogen and trying out the 1/50. When I first started it, I had horrible nausea because my body wasn't used to that amount of hormones, but that didn't last long. My skin was completely cleared up and periods were the lightest they've ever been. Really loved this pill but I'm on Mononessa now because my new gyno was scared of the amount of hormones I was putting into my body. Never had side effects on this."


"I have EDS and found Nuvigil (250 mg) very effective for remaining awake for the first couple of weeks then my alertness diminished.  I did find that while taking Nuvigil if I took a 20 minute nap in the afternoon, I awoke feeling refreshhed, not groggy and needing more sleep.  The major side effect I experience is nearly severe jaw clenching/teeth grinding during the day when I was awake.  My jaw is sore by 2 or 3 pm every day.  Also, I found it difficult to sleep at night if I took it too late in the morning. I tried getting up at 5 am and taking my dose then sleeping for another hour.  This helped me get to bed earlier at night.  I noticed that I felt more anxious also."


"I have been using Symbicort for 8 months now. It has been a life changer for me. I was using my rescue inhaler at least 4 times a day previous to being put on Symbicort. I have only had to use it twice since starting on it. The only side effect I have had is that past few months I have been woken up every night by very bad cramps in my feet and my calves.  "
