"For what it's worth, I would not recommend switching to Glatopa yet (as it's still too new in the market). I was on Copaxone for 5 years and was doing great before the switch. Had I known what I know now, I would have opted for the alternative Copaxone financial assistance (a reimbursement program) to stay on the daily shot once Kaiser auto-switched patients to Glatopa (for cost saving purposes to them) without ensuring the negative side effects to patients because basically they just don't care. All that being said, within 6 months of switching to Glatopa, I ended up in the hospital with Transverse  Myelitis for 10 days (with a 100K hospital bill) which is more than a relapse it's a completely new lesion on the spine. Anyway, while in the hospital a doctor told me that a generic does not have to be exactly the same ingredients as their predecessor. She said the generic drug can contain up to 20% of new proprietary ingredients). Wish I had known. It's unbelievable that Kaiser (or any doctor) would just switch patients to a new drug without that full disclosure or before the medication has been truly tested as a genuine safe replacement. I have since been referred to MS Center (where they don't recommend Glatopa - go figure). My new doctor (at MS Center) put me on Tysabri - which I hear is the "cadillac" of current MS treatments. Anyway, been doing fine on it so far with the exception of lingering nerve discomfort from the Glatopa relapse (for which I also take Gabapentin).   Soon I will be back 100% and in the meantime...All is well!"


"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."


"It has helped my back, but not completely eliminated pain or discomfort.  The patch has greatly enhansed my quality of life, easy to use and does not cause any problems to my stomach."


"I think Gabapentin works better than benzodiazepines. I do not like taking benzos because they make me sleep. Gabapentin does relax me believe it or not I don't know about you but it does work for me. Of course for some reason I have to take more than 300 mg for it to relax me but it does work. And it doesn't make me sleepy but it does make me hungry LOL. I prefer Gabapentin or Neurontin over benzodiazepines."


"My child has been on this almost a week and it has made her worse in school and hyper, I am looking forward to seeing the Doctor this week, the dose was cut in half after being on it 1 day and no change in behaviour, still not able to focus and refuses all school work and became more defiant."


"I lost my mom at the age of 20, I am now 24 and been on Zoloft 150 MG for the past 3 years, I can't believe the difference this medication has made. Zoloft gave me my life back, no longer have panic attacks, constant crying, and crazy thoughts! I would recommend this medication to anyone who suffers from depression!

Thank you Zoloft!"


"I can't say enough about how glad I am that I was given Lupron injections! I was being treated for heavy non-stop bleeding caused by the several large fibroids I had. I was told by 3 different Doctor's that I would definitely need to have a hysterectomy. I really had no other option. My OBGYN and the surgeon, started me on the Lupron injections 4 months ago to stop the bleeding (I had become extremely anemic and couldn't have the surgery until my blood counts came back up which would take 3 months) and to try and shrink the fibroids. After my 4th and final shot 2 weeks ago, my MRI showed that the fibroids had shrunk 75% and my surgeon discharged me today saying that I will NOT be having a hysterectomy, nor any surgery! Thank you Lupron."


"I have been on nortriptyline for 6 years with two breaks in the middle. I have had severe migraines since I was 13 and have tried several treatment options. The two times I stopped were because it was no longer effective in preventing migraines. During those times my doctor increased beta blockers for 6 months then went back to the regular dosage with nortriptyline. I take up to 100 mg a day but average 50mg. Sometimes I take for granted how well this medication has worked for me. The downsides are weight gain, restlessness and vivid dreams. If you suffer from migraines to the extent I have it is well worth the side effects."


"I had Botox 7 months ago and I'm just now able to pee just a little so still need to self cath.  Botox was the worst thing I could have done because it did nothing for my pain nor my frequency.  I had no problem peeing before Botox!"


"I started Complera as my first medicine about four months ago. After first labs were complete my CD4's went up and my viral load went down as expected. In this same time an ear infection that I had been battling for a number of years went away. I am also pleasantly surprised that my energy level has increased during this time as well. The only side effect that I have noticed is some almost unbelievable foul, almost constant gas. But, the gas is something I can live with and after showing my partner that it was a side effect so can he. Haha"


"I have a severe panic disorder as well as OCD and I have to say since being on Klonopin (for about 2 years now) I take it 2/2 x a day) it has helped me SO MUCH. I haven't tried the other ones that are listed on here so I'm not sure how good those are."


"I have been taking suboxone for almost 6 years.  Before that my pain is very severe.  I took everything before I picked up pain meds, I am an addict of 29 years, I had to pick up pain meds when nothing else worked for me, got completely addicted, Suboxone has SAVED MY LIFE and helps with my pain, I have nevered picked up another pain med since then, I AM TRULY GREATFUL"


"I have been on 1800mg Trileptal for 3 years now for rapid cycling manic bi-polar. I don't have the depression part like most do. I absolutely love Trileptal. For the 3 years before that I had tried a handful from Lamictal, Topamax and Wellbutrin. They all resulted in violent outbursts. For about 2 years I took 1mg Abilify along with it, it worked okaay but I would still get very annoyed with everything. So it then got paired up with Geodon and it's worked wonders for me! It may have taken 5 years to get it just right but when its right you will know!"


"Why on earth any company would add fragrance to a medicine is beyond me when so many medical facilities have gone fragrance free. Even the low level fragrance has caused nausea after a half day's use. It's either the fragrance or a reaction to the gel. Didn't make much difference in my pain level."


"I've been on Linzess 290 mcg for 60 days now. I started taking one pill day for 30 days and only had 4 voluntary bowel moments. My doctor's instructor me to take 290 mcg twice a daily and I have been doing so for 60 days now and I am not expericing the mirarles everyone is raving about. I am about ready to give up on Linzess. I have Suffered with chronic constipation and IBS over 20 years and nothing works. Tried, Miralax, Amitiza,  pro-biotics and many other OTC drugs. The ONLY thing that has helped is Nopalina which is a flaxseed mixture of fruit skins. That always provide relief. Its not a laxative either.

I can't for see paying for more doc visits and expensive meds much longer."


"Dosage had to be increased to highest. 75 mg  every 4-6 hours."


"I am a 51 year old female. In January 2008 I had a light period that lasted for 4 days and then stopped. Five days later I started bleeding again. I had such a heavy flow with clotting that I had to change every 2 hours. After the 14th day, I began to get very weak. My mother convinced me that this was not normal and to see a gynecologist. On day 16 of this heavy bleeding I went to the gynecologist. She told me I was going through menopause and prescribed Provera. On the next day, I was to take 20mg for 10 days. After 2 days, I stopped bleeding. On day 12 my doctor told me I needed to do this for the next 3 months and each month would get better and it would help me through menopause. I do not feel good at all when I take the Provera."


"This drug was used by my fiance, and it made her really dizzy, she couldn't even stand up."


"I have been using carbi now for several years and it is a great drug. But I have a problem in the summers. When it gets hot I start getting High Uric acid (gout). I would like to know if any one else has this problem. And if so what did you do. What did your Dr do? "


"It made me lose my drive in life. It was good initially for psychotic thoughts but I wouldn't recommend using it long term."


"So far I have found this drug great. I've taken many anti depressants since I was 16 ( now 33) and just was diagnosed with bipolar. Feeling much more energy at times I don't know what to do so I workout"


"I fell and broke the Radial head of my elbow (have never broken anything before and I am 45 yrs old).  The doctor put me on Vicodin and it did nothing for that pain, UNTIL he gave me Zipsor, I was much much better in about an hour!  The only side effect was that I was a little sleepy."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"It's my first day on this medicine but man, I feel odd since I've never been so awake. Right now it's about 2:30PM Central time and my bed should be calling me and I'm fine. I feel like going for a run."


"The meds have help me feel better and clear my skin discoloration and itching."


"I am taking Percocet 10/325mg five times daily for breakthrough pain with Ms-Contin 30 mg twice daily, and 60 mg at night. I am taking them due to a past near fatal car wreck that almost left me totally crippled.  Taking these medicines have really given me my life back.  I also agree that it actually does help with depression; as some people have mentioned on this site.  I suffer from deep depression, and since taking these medicines it is like the depression is totally gone.  Thumbs up to the caring Pain Management Doctors and these two medicines.  Worked wonders for me."


"I was not one prone to headaches until recently. They started at the base of my neck and continued upward until I didn't want to move a muscle. Oddly enough, these were prescribed by my dentist due to an upcoming root canal I was getting ready for. I took one the next time I had a headache and within 30 minutes it was completely gone. I was amazed."


"I have been on it for about 6 weeks and already lost 15 lbs.  I love it and am so happy with this pill.  The only side effect is dry mouth which isn't too bad because it makes you drink more water.  I have 4 children, go to school, and work full time and haven't had this energy since I was 18.  So far I am happy with the results.  My mood is more positive and my sex drive is through the roof."


"I've been on this med for about a month now. I don't think I've gone this long without an attack since I was pregnant. My IBS-D went away with both pregnancies, weird I know. This drug has been amazing. The only side effect I have is constipation (I take a stool softener right now because I keep forgetting to buy fiber pills) and nausea if I don't take it with food (directions tell you to, so that's on me). Give it a try! Remember, a lot of insurance companies won't cover it yet because it's new, but they have a savings plan you can sign up for. Take advantage of it!"


"I have tried probably over 15 birth control pills since 2005.  I have a health condition that makes it a bit harder for me to be on higher dose bcp's.  I was on Errin for 6 months and was bleeding nonstop, so my doctor changed me to Lo Loestrin Fe.  I have been on it for exactly 1 month and I wish I would have never touched this medicine.  In 1 month I have gained 7 lbs, I am extremely emotional (I broke down crying watching a cooking show for goodness sake), constant heart burn, bad headaches every other day, can't sleep, I am thirsty constantly...the list goes on.  To me the side effects are not worth it."


"I've been in lamictal and Wellbutrin for over 2 years without a lift on severe bipolar depression. It felt like they kept me just from the edge of suicide but in dark misery.

We started trying atypical antipsychotics...abilify helped a bit with 8 lbs weight gain, saphris lowered anxiety and weight but left depression untouched then came latuda and life changed at 40 mg. The dark cloud lifted in three weeks and I saw and thought and felt clearly. I'm envious that people feel this way all the time and don't appreciate it all. I'm finally living and not just surviving.

Small prices to pay are sleepiness and having to eat so much to take the pills, because it knocks me out I eat later than I'd like and have noticed weight gain."


"Just started this med 2 weeks ago. I feel awful: generally ill feeling (like a cold or flu), severe headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramping (feels like I've done a massive workout and let the muscles cool down without stretching), muscle weakness (where it's a chore to lift arms and legs...skin pain, too), trouble sleeping, I can feel my heart pounding and hear it in my ears, coughing, and I don't know what else. I have spoken to my doctor and been told this will go away, but I'm concerned. My vision wasn't great before, but seems worse now. Not sure what to do..."


"I love it.  No side effects. Tried others because of insurance.  All had lots of side effects.  I'm really upset because insurance companys are dropping it.  I can't take the generic for it.  Made me sick as a dog with severe muscle pain."


"The medicine brought my Triglyceride way down.. so it works (from over 600 down to 250). But I have about 30% overall HAIR LOSS.. this is not good. I am a 50 year old female have had all testing done on hormone levels, thyroid etc. All is normal. I am not in menopause yet either so I am going off the medication. Will substitute fish oils and hope my next blood work does not sky rocket to 600  again."


"I've had Skyla for a little over a year now and would say that I like this IUD for the most part. I tried (Paraguard) first and had a horrible experience. I had it for about four months and bled almost everyday for 2 1/2 months of it! Literally everyday. It was a nightmare. I got that one removed and was told to try Skyla instead. I am 27, no kids. My periods have always been very painful, LONG, etc. The Skyla was painful & cramping followed apon insertion, however it subsided after a couple days. For the first 9 months I would get regular periods (not too heavy, not horrible cramping) and after that I either dont get a period,just the cramping and skip it or I will get a period with painful cramping. So its different every month for me."


"this is my first birth control method I used and I've been on it for 5 months now. it's work perfect, periods are like and I barely get cramps. I did gain weight from this but that was the point of me getting on it other than for my period. I definitely recommend it"


"I went to my dermatologist after suffering throughout my teenage years with acne. They prescribed me Duac gel. The first few days of using it my skin was fine, apart from a few red, patchy areas of skin. In my second week of using it I was in constant pain. My face was inflamed, swollen, incredibly dry and unbearably sore. I decided to stop using it and allowed my skin to recover from my traumatic ordeal, I had honestly never felt worse about myself. I then decided to give it another go, but this time using it for an hour a day, every other day. Once I felt my skin had acclimatised I did an hour every day. Now I can apply it over night without any redness or dryness. My skin has cleared up so much, but i recommend acclimatising your skin."


"I am on this again for the second time, my main issue is that I find it makes me tired all the time and it's hard to concentrate for university. I just want to sleep. My doctor did say he chooses the more sedative ones to start with because they usually have less adverse reactions. Other than being tired, it did reduce my depression and anxiety a fair bit, but most of all reduced my suicidal thoughts a great amount."


"I've been on 50mg of Zoloft for three weeks now... it seems to be working pretty well. My obsessive thoughts started to have trouble materializing in my mind then before I knew it.. I started to feel like myself again and the thoughts and anxiety seem to have diminished."


"For birth control it definitely works. I've had this in for a little over a year. I do get my period every month. But I feel like every other month I either get two periods or it lasts for 3 weeks at least. I am also NEVER in the mood for sex.  I'm considering getting it out sooner than 3 recommended."


"For years I never understood how I could stay in bed for 7 +days. Then when diagnosed, and I started taking lamitical it changed my life. I do have some symptoms, I can stay in bed for 2 days. That is progress for me."


"I have Major Depressive Disoder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I've taken Zoloft, Paxil, Citalopram. I'm currently taking Wellbutrin 300XL, Cipralex 25mg. Cipralex only got me out of suicidal thoughts, but Wellbutrin healed my brain. When my psychiatrist first prescribed it to me, I couldn't afford it so I didn't fill my prescription. When she found out, she gave me some samples. Within a week I got motivation. I had forgotten how it felt to want to do things. My thoughts were more cheerful. I was able to laugh and joke. My PTSD paranoia went down. I began walking, quit smoking, went back to work, traveled, and met the love of my life. It made Me me again! I'm still taking it and will for as long as my brain needs it."


"I've taken zolpidem for 4 years.  I took Belsomra only one time.  I had horrible nightmares and would fall asleep only to wake up shortly after.  I became agitated and anxious.  It was a terrible night sleep and I definitely will not be taking it again."


"Girlfriend and I had sex, condom broke and didn't realize till we finished. She was not on birth control and we were freaking out. She took the pill about 5 hours later, and for the next 2 weeks had some mild symptoms and light bleeding. Confirmed she was not pregnant a few weeks later. Pill does miracles, don't worry about the statistics (just there in case it happens to not work). If you take it before 24 hours, I'd personally say you have a 100% chance of it working."


"I had a complete hysterectomy when I was 23, I am now 45. I have taken the pills, shots, creams, patches and this is the only thing that actually works for all my needs. I'm so thankful. It's worth the money!!!"


"This is the first birth control I have tried, and so far I love it. I'm heading into my third week being on this pill and so far I have experienced very minimal side effects, something I did not expect after reading such horror stories about this pill and others similar to it. I have had no spotting yet (fingers crossed this continues). The most noticeable side effect thus far has been breast tenderness. Its not unbearable-and usually an Advil helps-but they're definitely more sore than usually. This tends to vary by day as well. I haven't noticed any severe change in my mood, maybe a little more sensitive than normal, and definitely no change in my sex drive. I am loving this pill so far! Hopefully these side effects continue to be minimal."


"I have only been on amitriptyline for about 6 weeks for chronic pain in arms and hands due to nerve damage. So far so good. I am able to sleep at night and am pain free during the day. I take 50mg before bed and 25mg twice a day. For the first time in five years I actually sleep at night!"


"I started taking this medication 5 weeks ago, with average blood sugar control.  My first experience after a couple of dosages I passed out.  For the past 4 weeks I have had system wide lymph node swelling, fever, skin sensitivity.  I have had several cancer tests.  I am going off of this HORRIBLE medicine. I have researched and have seen that there are not many like me, but there are at least 3 that have done either the same or had some of the same symptoms.  I have almost lost my job due to this medicine, and my health and well-being has been horrible since I have been taking this.  For those of you that it works for, great, I am glad it does.  Please just be aware of any of the above reactions."


"I lost 30lbs in about three months. It makes you not want to drink soda or eat sweets because it taste nasty, which is good because those things are bad for you anyways. The side effect that I have is EXTREMELY dry eyes which cause inflammation but I can control that with wearing glasses instead of contacts and using the Blink eye drops. I went off of the medicine for two months and gained 5lbs. So I started it up again hoping for good results. I started off weighing 210lbs."


"I have had emphysema (COPD) for over 3 years and been on all the typical long-term medications including Advair, Spiriva, Symbicort, and lastly, Tudorza Pressair.  By my 2nd day on Tudorza I was utterly amazed, I was able to draw a full breath that I could feel expand my lungs for the first time in what seemed like forever!  My doctor was happy it worked so well and felt successful in finding the "right" medication to help me live a more active life; however, as you may find, Tudorza is NOT on my AARP insurance formulary. Although I did get approved a 3-month prescription, I still had to pay $85 for my share of the one month, which I simply could not afford. I had to give it up. I pray Tudorza gets on my formulary."


"I was taking 50 mg a day and it really reduced my migraines. I had no side effects except that I lost about 10 pounds, so that was a plus though my weight was normal. My neurologist bumped me up to 75 mg to try to get rid of the last of my migraines, and then a few months later I noticed my hair was falling out just like it did each time when I was postpartum. I'll have to go back down on my dosage to see if that will make my hair come back or if I need to go off it altogether, but it will take years to grow my long hair out again. ;("


"I've been on it for about 12 months. I'm supposed to get my next shot but I'm not I would rather get my regular cycle back than the depo. I had a lightish period for 8 months with a few days every so often that it would stop but start again at night. I was told that after 8 months it should stop. After a few weeks of month 9 it was still going. Finally it stopped for a good month I was so glad I thought it was over. I was wrong I've had a period for 2 months straight again but this time it's a regular 2 month long period that hopefully stops. I just want to go back to a normal cycle again. I've also been moody, impatient, gained some weight, more acne. I wasn't like that before. The depo sucks"


"First let me rate it a 1. I was supposed to take 25mg at bedtime. Woke up a little before 2 am, heart racing, hot flashes, extreme nausea. Spent next hour trying to sleep but heart palpitations, hot flashes then chills, vomiting and needing the bathroom.... 4 times! I have NEVER had this type of drug reaction like that!!! Unreal! Charging my insurance nearly $1,000 for a rubbish drug that makes people sick. Even people who don't have a severe reactions all have nausea! It shouldn't be legal to charge people so much for a drug. It is price gauging and insane! I still feel sick next day. Never again.  Now I am  stuck with pills worth more money than I can make and hate them."


"Day 1----burning and itching like hell!!!!!!  3 day treatment.  Apparently I had a yeast infection, unknown by me, but my husband said he had a itchy feeling on his testicles. Sure enough, the next day I started itching and tested positive for yeast infection.  I hope this doesn't happen when he puts the cream on himself :/ this sucks. I have used this product before and NEVER have I had these symptoms. Maybe a new ingredient in it?"


"I took this to replace Wellbutrin, which didn't seem to work. This medication seems to make me very easily agitated not to mention the fatigue."


"I had a severe infection in my mouth, lips, corners of mouth, throat and this medication cleared it up in no time."


"I found Bextra to be the most helpful medication for knee, shoulder or back pain that I have ever had.  I desperately hope that it can be back on the market.  It is too good to let go."


"After two years of taking 1g per day I developed a rash; at first with itch then it seemed to be like a very bad sunburn. Areas affected included ankles, legs, thighs, belly and biceps. A trip to the doctor, I stopped taking and went home to lots of cool showers. After a week of walking around the house naked (just the touch of clothes caused burning and itching) the rash has begun to subside. "


"I have loved using Gianvi, I started it 7 months ago when I was married. My periods are regular however, I never bloated or gained weight. However I have never been such an emotional type until I started taking this pill, and As time went on I have noticed I get a lot of migraines and often dizziness and I am almost certain it is because of this pill, it's bitter sweet but I will be switching to another brand to see if anything changes."


"These series of 3 shots were a God send to me. I'm a very active person and the knee was so severe I could not walk without limping. It took 6 weeks after the 3rd shot to get relief. I'm back to walking  and able to ride my bicycle for 10 plus miles 4 times a week. I also participate in several activities in a retirement park during the winter months in FL. My Spouse and I are able to take cruises and I'm pleased that I can walk the whole ship from one end to the other. I'm also able to get off the ship and walk around the ports."


"I used bydureon seven weeks before I stopped because of the lumps at each injection site. My doctor said they would go away. It's been three weeks since I stopped and I still have all seven lumps. This is ridiculous. No shot should leave lumps like that."


"5'5 SW 120: Started 1 month ago, have lost 12 pounds, steadily losing 2.5 a week now.  Can only handle the 2 pills in the morning. Anything beyond that and the nausea is too severe.  Since I'm still losing on the lower dose, so just sticking with that for now. You HAVE to take this medication with food.

Honestly, the hardest part was the mental/emotional side effect.  Food loses  its allure. It's like your "breaking up" with food.  Food keeps calling and showing up, but your like, "No food, I'm just not in the mood, I'm sorry, it's me not you."  And then you are left dealing with what emptiness you may have been trying to fill with food. Also,you get full so fast it's not even worth cooking a full meal. It works, but there are sacrifices."


"I am 38 years old with 4 small kids. I've recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hips and most likely my knees. I was also having significant shoulder and heel pain. Within 2 days of starting this medication I would say I was 75% better. Now after 1 month I feel better than I have felt in years. I am amazed that 1 medication can work this well. I have not noticed any side effects."


"I was on Mirena for a little over 2 years, starting in 2014. After about 7 months on it my period stopped, and that (in many ways) was my favorite part of Mirena. Unfortunately, around this same time I started getting intensely painful (but benign) ovarian cysts. The day before Thanksgiving, 2015 I had a cyst so painful that I was convinced something had gone wrong with my appendix. All told I went to the ER three times due to these cysts (yes I've had the HPV vaccine). Finally I took it out, and in that time I've had no pain. I've also lost about 10 lbs of the weight I gained on Mirena. I loved the convenience, but some things weren't worth it."


"Against the advice of my teachers, my mom decided not to medicate me as a kid since my grades were fine. As I got older, I got worse, concentrating was impossible for me and my grades dropped... my mind never stopped! I have been on Adderall for almost 9 years now. This drug saved me, it worked great! The down side...after this long, I have built a tolerance, get very irritable, and feel kinda foggy or dazed by the end of the day. I'm going to try something new for awhile and see what happens."


"I have suffered from SEVERE intestinal cramping since middle school. As I got older the cramping got worse. My weight fluctuates because I sometimes would go full days without eating out of fear of getting an attack while I was out an event or with friends. It was just totally humiliating and gave me terrible anxiety. Now, I am a teacher, have been for 5 years. Suffering at work is the absolute worst because it reflects on my performance and is just totally humiliating and uncomfortable. This year was the worst and i would have attacks on the way to work. I missed a lot of work so went to a new doctor. He gave me dicyclomine. I take it as needed and calms the cramping within 20-30 min. Miracle pill. Also cut pork, corn, and beef from foods."


"I get cold sores very bad on my upper lip (doctors are even surprised how bad it gets) so I am prescribed Valtrex 1000 mg. I love it! It takes away all of the pain overnight and helps speed up the process very fast. I've also found if I catch my cold sores soon enough, I take my normal dose and it doesn't appear! This medicine is an absolute God send and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who struggles with the same or similar symptoms, as we all know how awful Herpes Simplex can be."


"Medicine worked initially to lower cholesterol but became less effective as time went on. Also, taking three of those "horse pills" twice a day is difficult!  They are huge pills."


"This cream is great. I’m guessing the ones who have had the bad reactions to it must be having an allergic reaction. Idk. But for me. I use it regularly (I get yeast infections 1x month:/) and this is the only thing that will kick it.
No burning, no dizziness, just relief.
Good product. Works for me. Don’t be scared off from these crazy reviews. EveryBODYs different:)"


"I've been on this medicine for 2 years now and have not had any negative side effects. For those of you reading this you shouldn't let somebody else's review determine what her or not you take this medicine, that should be decided after a long talk between you and your doctor. Every body's body is different so these reviews can not give a completely accurate description of what's going to happen to your body. I'm my experience I had irregular bleeding for about 4 months but that is the time it took my body to adjust to the medication. If you have irregular or constant bleeding for more than six months, which is two cycles of the medication then you may want to talk to your doctor because the medication might not be the right one for you."


"Been on every psych medicine available...have severe OCD, mostly related to sex and sexuality issues.  I was on Invega and it was steps above any of the other antipsychotics I've tried.  I was functional.  I'm on Saphris now and it is steps above Invega.  Has helped my depression so much it's amazing.  I was severely suicidal and had been for at least 2 years with two serious attempts.  Not suicidal any more.  Also, sometimes I'm even able to socialize pretty normally.  Take it with Prozac, Adderall and Neurontin."


"I've had Nexplanon for a month now and I love it. I didn't get a full blown period, just spotting for a week. I have not gotten any of the side effects I see in these reviews. But not only that, Nexplanon does not have a side effect of gaining weight, it's explained to you when you get it that it doesn't have the hormone that birth control pills have that cause weight gain. So yes I would recommend this type of birth control."


"I have been using this medication for one month to treat sebaceous hyperplasia, which I developed at age 58, after a life of oily/acne-prone skin.  I am amazed at the results - no oil and a reversal of the sebaceous hyperplasia. I will be on this (40mg once daily) for 5 months if all goes well as it presently is, and I hope that the results are lasting. No woman should accept that nothing can be done about this problem if they care about their looks."


"It didn't give me a bad experience I took one pill and another in 12  hours.  I just wish it was a little stronger I did feel slight nausea but nothing too bad.  I still ate on it but did stay home all day because I mean it's a laxative come on"


"I have been on restasis for about a year and do not see much improvement. In fact, everytime I use it my eyes burn for about an hour and it blurs my vision.  I am still using other moisture drops in my eyes several times a day and the PM eye ointment at night.  I will stop using it as I don't see a difference.  IF there are people oiut there that cannot afford this medication, ask yoiu doctor for a card that will give you a discount or maybe you can get it for free as I did."


"My menopausal symptoms do not include hot flashes, only some night sweets. But my taking this medicine is to sleep better. I was not sleeping, only 2 hours than 3 hours. I did not want to take sleeping pills forever. Also, I am gaining weight. These are the Pros and Cons of the patch for me."


"Typical story- condom broke during supposed ovulation/fertile days and took the pill the morning after (within 8 hours). In my personal experience, I had no complications or any abnormal side effects such I have read reported from others (no cramps, nauseousness or abnormal bleeding).  I was very fortunate and received my period on the date scheduled as predicted. Although I do not normally or personally advocate non-natural medications and hormones, hey, sometimes one needs to take care of themselves quickly and immediately.

Wishing every one else the same effectiveness and similiar positive experience to the one I had with the pill."


"I am 22 with a two and a half month old baby. I just had the Skyla inserted yesterday. I had made myself sick reading all the reviews and horror stories. I almost skipped my appointment! I took 600mg of Ibuprofen (because of the fear). I kid you not, I didn't feel a thing! Not a pinch, or a cramp, or anything at all! I was able to drive and walk right afterwards, no pain, dizziness, or any of that! By the time I got home, I felt a hint of a cramp but was completely fine. We're now into the next morning and I feel more crampy but its manageable. The worst side effect for me so far is really bad gas and I feel a bit crabby. Its not horrible for everyone! Please don't kill yourself with these reviews if you are about to get the Skyla."


"I've been taking venlafaxine 150mg xr for nearly 3 years along with an antipsychotic to treat bipolar 2. Having tried all kinds of anti depressants this is the one that's worked for me. The down side is the withdrawal symptoms should you miss a dose but these go away as soon as you take it again. Dizzy spells/feeling drunk is the only way I can describe them. It has a short half life of 7 hrs which indicates that they have these symptoms.  I've had no side effects & would recommend venlafaxine over other antidepressants inc citelopram &  mirtazipine."


"First time colonoscopy, so can not compare other preps. Took the first dose at 4pm, followed by five 8 oz water till 9pm. This was gentle enough. Took the second dose at 9pm followed by three 8 oz of water till midnight. Around 2:30 am I woke up with extreme abdominal cramping. Had bowel movements, went to stand up and dizzy, hot and laid down on the floor with very hard abdominal cramping. Got a pillow and laid on the tile floor because I was too sick to return to bed. Also had small amount of vomiting during this time. The doctor said I was clean for procedure, but won't be taking this again for a prep unless they do something for the horrible cramping."


"Bad at best"


"This medicine has been the best pain reliever I have had. I have chronic back pain from muscle spazms. It does not upset my stomach and relieves the pain longer than any pain medicine I have tried."


"I've dealt with moderate acne for ten years.  Last year, I started getting constant cystic acne on my back (one or two at all times) and some on my face. The ones on my back were really scarring.  I went on minocycline for three months and I have been off of it for about three months. The cystic acne completely disappeared and has not returned.  I still get the occasional pimple, but it is not cystic and MUCH less frequent than it was in the past.  I am very pleased that the medicine cleared up my skin and that I no longer need to take it.  Even if my acne returns in the future (I hope it doesn't), the past six months of clear skin is easily worth the time and money."


"This medicine is/was a lifesaver. I was continuously drinking.  My alcohol of choice was always beer, however, I often mixed Vodka into the mix.  My heavy drink was for years, at least 10-12.  The further I got down the road the more I had to drink everyday.  To the point where I at times had to drink a beer to get back to sleep because I knew my blood pressure was out of hand from withdrawal. After the prescription to Librium the effects were immediate.  Withdrawal is now far behind me.  On to a sober life."


"I have Degenerative disc disease and 4 herniated disks.  I have been down the road of dependence on Oxycontin and Duragesic. Those medicines worked great, however, they do not hold up as they claim.  My doctor put me on Lyrica at 300mg a day and what a difference it has made!  My mobility is much better as well as my mental outlook on life.  This medicine seems to do the job.  I like it and recommend it."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"75 yrs.old very active runner and skier,suffered first AF and minor TIA in April 15  left with only slight speech impediment and some short term memory loss- put on eliquis 5 mg -no side effects at all- told to resume all my activities and return for routine blood tests in a year."


"I've started using Yasmin because of my mild acne. I'm on my third pack now and so far I can't say that my face is clear. One day it gets better but than  the next day it gets worse again. It may be that I just have to wait for a little bit longer ."


"My period had just ended last week Tuesday. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend literally yesterday afternoon. Caught up in the moment he released inside of me and I'm ovulating. I took Aftera last night at 630pm and I started spotting tonight."


"I am 19 years old, I went to the OBGYN yesterday and got skyla put in, I have had no kids and thought the pain was very tolerable and did not hurt at all. I did experience bleeding at first then spotting and a bit of cramping but not bad at all compared to the periods I experienced. Highly recommend."


"I was prescribed 250 mg of Azithromycin.  I had to take two pills and then one a day until it was finished.  The medicine had an effect on my bodies natural bacteria which made me constipated, but it worked great!  I had better results with 875 mg of Amoxicillin for 10 days."


"These drops have definitely helped with the itching, but my eyes are still red.  And I've developed a sore throat and headache."


"I have been on the shot going on four months I have bleed the whole time except for two weeks I just got my second shot it helped the bleeding slow down but still bleeding no wonder you can't get pregnant heck who wants to have a bloody show that's not to attractive. No sex=no baby!"


"A real life changing medicine, depression gone. Social anxiety greatly improved. 100mg daily for 3 months. Minimal side effects. Also taking 1mg Klonopin daily for anxiety."


"I started to take Remeron 2 months ago. I've been taking Cymbalta for 3 years and now with Remeron I feel fantastic. I mean, I've gained weight...I used to be really thin, none of my clothes fit me now but I guess to me it is a little price to pay for feeling like I do now (I've been dealing with severe depression for over 10 years). Cymbalta did good to me and now that I'm taking both I feel like I can take over the world."


"This medication was not good for me. My Doctor added this to the Depakote I was already taking to help with irritability and aggressiveness. This turned me into a zombie. Walked around in a fog the whole time I was on it. Still irritable and more so because I couldn't focus. Experienced nightmares, anorgasmia. When I could keep an erection and had an orgasm, had no ejaculate. Really scary. Took it for 2 weeks and then stopped taking it. Bad for me. May help someone else."


"My doctor has tried me on other antidepressants and I felt no relief of my symptoms.  I was given this medication almost a year ago and it's been the best year of my life.  Obviously I'm not depressed but stressed with anxiety."


"I had my first shot and the first three months were fine. After the second shot I haven't stopped bleeding. When I was due for my third shot my doctor advised against having it. It should have worn off by now. I am still bleeding, now five months after my second shot, it feels like it is never going to stop."


"It made it hard to sleep and I'm groggy all day long. I'm not a fan. 25mg at night."


"I got my implant in 2014 and removed in 2017. Decided not to do the entire 4 years because in the last two years I found myself extremely tired every single day, barely wanting to get out of bed except to eat. I also noticed my my hair has thinned a lot (which I was in denial about at first) but when I researched more, I realized many other women had experienced this side effect, too. Additionally, I'm 23 years old and my sex drive has been non existent for the past year. It's been almost two weeks off and already, I feel a major difference. My energy is up again and my sex drive as well. Hopefully, my hair grows back thick, the way it used to be! Overall, this medicine isn't that bad if you can deal with the side effects."


"I suffer from generalzed anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and panic disorder. I have been on Neurontin for about three months. At first I was on 300mg/day, and now am on 600mg/day. My doctor wants to ultimately get me up to 900mg/day. This medicine works great. It keeps me on a calm and even keel, plus eliminates some of my physical anxiety symptoms. The only side effect I experienced was some slight clumsiness at first, which disappeared after a few days. I also take Tenormin and Prozac."


"I'm 17 and my hands were sweaty whenever I thought about it...lately I've been thinking about it all the time cause i was worried about shaking hands and/or leaving sweaty marks after me whenever I touched something. It's got really bad and I went to see a doctor. She told me to try Drysol, which I did and it worked great, but not at first...it actually made my hands sweat even more, probably cause I was stressed about if it was gonna work or not. It started to work, after applying it twice a day for a few days (doc told me to). The last time I used it was like 5 nights ago, and my palms have been so dry since that I had to use a hand cream. Yeah, unbelievable!!

Just dont give up on it too fast and it will work..good luck!"


"Have had migraines for about 7 yrs. Seems to have started a while after slipping and falling on my back in the kitchen. Held out arms to break fall and my head tucked slammed back. Headaches so intense you literally will call 911 to get immediate pain relief NOW . Vomiting which intensifies the pressure and blurred vision that is in no way a typical headache. Relpax 40 is the only thing I have ever tried and works. Add a ice pack and a BC powder and it works faster to relieve my pain. Makes me feel much better after a long nap in a dark cold room. Like any other illness it takes a day or so to feel normal again. I have ins. and pay $10 for 10 pills per month with the discount card. Before that I paid $10 per pill. Its truly a miracle med."


"The side effects of the medicine made me to opt out of taking the 2nd injection. Severe bone pain in the legs, back and hip along with a bladder infection causing me to be on antibiotics for months left me feeling very poorly.  I also experienced change in bowel habits as well as loss of appetite.  Twenty eight pounds were lost very quickly."


"My doctor gave me a free sample pack of Strattera and had me start at 20mg, and increase the dose all the way to 80mg. I didn't notice a difference until I got to 60mg, and at 80mg, the side effects became all too apparent. I noticed that I was able to focus on a particular topic for longer periods of time, but that's it; my motivation, procrastination, sluggishness, irritability, memory problems, all remained the same. Now for the side effects, my head starts to itch, my testicles become very tender, but worst of all I start to get depressed. I don't think this medication is for someone without the Hyperactivity part of ADHD. Because I am sluggish enough as it is."


"I was 7 yrs old when I starting with tics & when I was 12 I was diagnosed with mild Tourette Syndrome. I gained 100lbs plus during the 15 yrs that I was on Orap, I developed medicine induced anxiety, cotton mouth, fatique/sleeping all the time, my menstrual cycles were messed up, my thought process & decision making was not balanced, I developed temp. infertility, my prolactin levels were elevated dangerously high. I never should of been on Orap to begin with, Orap is for severe cases of Tourettes after ever other medicine has been tried..Orap is a last resort at a very low dosage...Please ...Please proceed with caution if you do choose to take this medicine. At age 44, I am blessed to be here today to type the rating of this medicine."


"My dr wanted to give me Cipro or Bactrim but since I have a pill complex, I asked for something smaller. He prescribed Macrobid and I came to this site to apparently scare myself before taking it. Well I'm here to tell you that this antibiotic was GREAT! As someone who has colitis and constant headaches, both triggered by virtually anything, neither were affected by this drug. I experienced zero side effects. I took 100mg twice a day for 5 days. I would take 1 capsule right after breakfast and 1 capsule right after dinner so it was always accompanying a meal. 5 days later, urine culture came back negative. This worked great for me! I didn't start feeling pain relief til day 4 though. Hang in there and take with meals."


"For the most part my experience has been positive, with a few annoying side effects. First of all, I had been on NuvaRing, which made me absolutely insane. I would cry for hours for no reason at all and became depressed randomly for no reason. I also have NEVER had acne, like maybe five pimples a year since entering high school. The great thing about Nexplanon is it's so easy, insertion was extremely quick and painless. Mood swings have completely disappeared and it's actually improved my mood. I spotted for the first week and now my periods have stopped. I get spotting maybe every three months for a day or two. One major downside: I get acne frequently now. Not enough to make me remove the implant, but its a bummer."


"For everyone that's bleeding alot... Try using Nuvaring with the Nexplanon! That was my only complaint but now I love it and am going to continue using both birth controls."


"I have had my implant in for nearly two years. Every month that I've been on this I've had a period every two weeks, am highly emotionally unstable, and now if this thing couldn't do it's job any worse, I'm PREGNANT. So no, I'm giving it a 2 since 2 years was about how long it lasted. Not worth it."


"Took Cipro for cystitis that turned into a mild kidney infection after Macrobid didn't do the trick.   No serious side effects from medication except for drowsiness a couple hours after a dose... Not so bad when you're achy from a kidney infection.  Don't freak out over reviews.  It's worth remembering that most people taking antibiotics aren't feeling so hot anyway, so side effects nausea and aches could be due to illness as much as anything else.   ALWAYS FINISH YOUR ANTIBIOTICS!"


"Lexapro (Cipralex in Canada) is an effective antidepressant that worked well for generalized anxiety disorder. I took it because I had general anxiety (occasional panic attacks) and depression. It worked well in both areas. It helped a lot with mood, confidence, anxiety, motivation. But it was not without side effects. It does cause weight gain, although the exact reason is confusing. I went from 180 pounds to 200 pounds in 6 months. There are also sexual side effects, prolonged ejaculation with very little feeling and a strange feeling of being unable to urinate freely (taking longer than usual). It made me very sleepy. Weening off is difficult. Those are the pros and cons. If the cons don't sound too bad to you it will help otherwise."


"Several years ago I was prescribed Abilify as an add on to my Paxil 50 mg. Which I've been taking for 24 yrs for Major Depression. It was amazing. I was so happy. I became interested again in things that I used to enjoy. Unfortunately my only bad side effect was that it made me cry for absolutely no reason. I could be talking to someone about anything at all, and the tears would start. I had to stop taking it because nobody wanted to be around me anymore. My doctor has never heard of this happening with Abilify. Lucky me."


"I have had the nexplanon for 2 years and I absolutely hate it. It's made me have very bad mood swings and also weight gain. I've gained about 25 pounds from it and am very active and cannot loose the weight. I'm planning on getting it removed this month coming. its been very effective but its the side effects that make it awful."


"Side effects after only one (8mg) dose are impossible to live with.  Increased urgency to urinate, difficulty starting urine stream, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea.

I will never take it again."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have been on BeYaz for 5 months now. I was switched from a normal hormone birth control because it caused terrible breakouts (which I had never had in my life) as well as severe mood swings. At first, I really liked BeYaz. It cleared my skin back up to normal and I didn't notice any changes. Now I am starting to get extremely agitated at the smallest things, crying for no reason, extreme headaches, and am getting cramps like I used to without birth control. I am considering getting off birth control altogether."


"I've had the mirena IUD in for two weeks..I end up with severe cramping every day and every day is worse.. About a month ago I started losing weight because I've been working out 5 days a week for an hour.. Now since the last two weeks I've gained weight.. Bloated and in pain.. and I'm NOT gaining muscle weight from working out.. the hormones that are in the IUD mirena can make you gain weight.. and yes my Dr did confirm that. Also my breasts are in severe pain every day.. Waking up at night several times in pain so bad I can't sleep. I'm also depressed like I never have been and am not interested in sex. That had never ever been the case before. I also have severe back pain.. And I've never had an UTI ...urinary tract infection.. Until getting the IUD in.. this is a bad device and should be banned and discontinued as an IUD. I'm getting it out in two days. Thank God"


"I waited for 14 months after a positive HCV 1 a, stage 2 viral load 3,700,000 to 4,700,000 in 12 months.  Waited for good balance for blood pressure. Quit alcohol. Been clean and sober for 14+ months, had liver ultra sound. Started Harvoni 6 weeks ago. 8 week treatment. At the 4 week checkup Viral Load was undetectable!!!!!  Some typical side effects : occasional fatigue, loose stool, take trazidone for insomnia.  Best way to have a real successful treatment:  NO alcohol. Get clean and stay that way. Harvoni is the answer to cure HEP!"


"I'm a 21 year old female and have been taking lexapro for only a short while,but I can honestly  say that it has been a miracle for me.Ive been treated for depression since I was 13.Ive been on everything,paxil,celexa,wellbutrin,zoloft,ability (taken with paxil) and nothing ever worked. I had been suicidal and had been self harming for as long as I can remember. I also have a crippling anxiety that made social interaction painful  and almost unbearable.I had been hosptilized once as a teenager for a suicide attempt..But I got a new doctor recently,and she prescribed lexapro. For the first time in as long as I can remember I feel happy.i can actually sleep and not eaten up by worry or hopeless depression.i finally feel like a human being. :)"


"I had a heavy painful period and was clotty. Also breast tenderness. I needed stop this medicine after being on it just one month...."


"The best medication I've taken thus far for anxiety. I'm on 60 mg/day split into two doses of 30. Non addicting, no sexual side effects, in fact this is amazingly free of any side effects that I have experienced. I have been on Klonopin in the past and overall I have to say that this has been the best for my anxiety and social phobia. The medical community is all too quick to disregard this medicine as ineffective. Its a safe medicine. You're not losing anything by at least giving it a trial. Its the only med that's worked well for me after trying countless SSRIs, and a few psych meds of other classes. Good luck."


"Under direction of my MD I took Lamisil for 7 weeks and my sense of taste disappeared. The past 8 weeks my taste has come and gone. Miserable side effect."


"I had such a bad manic episode that in the hospital even a shot of olanzapine would not put me to sleep.  The first night they gave me Seroquel I slept like a baby and woke up with a clear head.  This was a life saver for me."

"I started taking Yasmin about 6 months ago for extreme period pain which some doctors thought might be endometriosis. It worked alright for the first month or two. I was at least able to move. After the second month I noticed that I was always hungry and eating a lot of the time. "


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Like previous posters, I had focused on negative reviews and was terrified as this was my first prep. At 3pm I took my first dose. I mixed my prep with cold water and refrigerated before taking. I had read the lemon slice trick a few times, so had some on hand. I took it down in three large gulps and didn't have any problems. I drank the next 32 ounces of water with ease. About 30 minutes later was my first movement. That dose had me in and out of the bathroom for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The second dose I repeated at 11pm, same exact thing. I was able to sleep from 1:30am until leaving the house at 6:30am. I worried for nothing. All finished and results were just fine!"


"I was prescribed Baclofen for intermittent spasticity in my thoracic back. Also for neck, and low back spasms/nerve pain, but it's been the thoracic pain in the past 2 years that more often than not is at times literally unbearable. My thoracic back at it's best is constant aching/stabbing. Baclofen stinks, it makes me severely groggy, (but so do many medications) and no pain relief even having tried between low to high dosages.

1500 mgs of Methocarbomol before bed is an oldie but a goodie. It'll put me to sleep during the day too, but at least it works and doesn't have the bizarre loopy type side effects. However I DO NOT take it with any other medication that causes drowsiness, no narcotics, no alcohol etc..."


"I have hemicrania headaches since 2005. Tried everything and indomethicin works, only problem now is chronic kidney disease. Trying to find alternative drug, extremely scared of further debilitating headaches. Taking 50mg 3x daily, cut down from 4x daily seems to work."


"I'm 18 and I took this pill and the day I had sex was like the day after my period and now a week latter I have my period again I don't like the side affects but I do have to say it works very well"


"If I could give this a negative number I would. It murdered my skin. It made my skin horribly worse. I woke up the morning after my first application (which happened to be the day I was taking the SAT!) with my skin just a horrible peeling, painful mess. My skin felt like there was acid under earth it. My face was disgusting, it was completely tight (it looked leathery!!!) and covered with dead skin, I couldn't see fresh skin ANYWHERE. It was all peeling off. And burning. I, of course, stopped using it. But for the next 2 weeks my skin was peeling non stop (moisturizer and exfoliating were no help) and my face was dark red. It looked like I had had an absolutely horrible sunburn. This was after just using Onexton ONCE. Wouldn't recommend."


"I began feeling very anxious and getting anxiety attacks almost every morning. This went on for months and finally I told my doctor. She gave me a low dose of Xanax and it helped a bit but once it wore off, I had to take more since my anxiety returned. I asked my doctor to put me on Lexapro and I swear, it started to work almost immediately! I have been on it two weeks now and I've only had one minor anxiety attack, and every day I'm feeling a little better. I'm already feeling much calmer and more peaceful and I only take 5mg at night. My sleep is better too! The only side effects were nausea, and diarrhea (which are subsiding) and weight loss (which I don't mind). I'm feeling so much more hopeful now, and I had almost lost hope."


"I got Implanon because I had a horrible time with the shot, I forget pills since I can't have my phone at work to remind me. I'm allergic to adhesive and I have short fingers. I liked it OK at first, had some minor vertigo and nausea when the hormones began kicking in. I'm almost at a year now, and so far I've gained about 20 pounds and have not changed my eating or exercise habits, and every few months I end up thinking I'm pregnant. For the last month or so I've had the worst cramps I've ever had, my breasts hurt constantly, and still having vertigo and nausea. Hoping my medical will let me have it removed. I'm not telling people not to get it as I know many people have a good reaction, according to my doctor my body is overreacting."


"Doctors stuck me on this.  Once my numbers were normal, they didn't care about the symptoms.  Refused to change treatment."


"Got it 3 years ago and have had it re inserted in the last 6 months ..found it great for the first 3 years rarely had periods but when I did at random times..did not affect my sex drive but my skin has suffered terribly with break outs ..since I reinserted it its is a completely different story very heavy period I'm a complete emotional basket case extreme mood swings not feeling myself ..seriously considering a new form of contraception..."


"Have been on this medicine for five weeks including the first two week trial. I didn't start counting calories until week 3. Wanted to give the trial two weeks to watch for side effects. Except for a headache the first three days, no side effects except great night's sleep.  Belviq has halted the binge process completely.  I only eat when I am hungry and have no sweet cravings after a meal like I used to have. As a bonus, I have stopped my "picking" habit.   Best medicine ever!  Oh, one con. Insurance (Cigna) does not cover it."


"This is a fantastic medicine if you suffer from classic migraine with aura.  I take it as soon as I feel a migraine coming, and Zipsor stops the migraine in 15 minutes (at the longest 30 mins). It does not leave me in a weird fog like Zomig or Imitrex.  Zomig is a wonderful alternative to Triptans."


"I highly recommend that those who are prone to any sort of acne try a DIFFERENT brand of birth control. Junel Fe, otherwise known as Microgestin, is a pill that will not usually make one's acne better, it will either stay the same OR make it worse. I was sadly in the latter category. This is because it's a low estrogen pill. With Junel Fe I began to get acne all over my face - my jaw, cheeks, forehead, and chin. I would get up to 7 painful, embarrassing cystic lumps at a time and tons of zits that were oddly prone to leaving scars. I went from almost perfect skin to having adult acne! Nothing improved after 6 months. Seems like good skin on birth control isn't possible for everyone...Anyway, a high estrogen pill is probably better for acne."


"It's quick acting but painful and it made me bruise and bleed a bit. It makes me feel nauseated and I vomited once, a few minutes after use. It also made me feel sleepy like my other migraine pills. This just acts quicker and makes you drowsy fast. "


"Even 30 mg works!"


"Xanax saved me. Apprehensive about taking meds but broke down after it got so bad I didn't even want to take the covers off my head with my eyes clenched shut just fearing every day because I knew anxiety, fear of everything under the sun and panic attacks would rule my day. I was told I needed to be on long term anxiety drugs so I tried lexapro and ended up in the er with side effects so horrific I don't even want to think of it now. Xanax is basically a quick fix to calm the anxiety but it's the only thing I'm willing to take and over time I broke out of the nightmare I was living. I still have bouts of anxiety but as long as I have Xanax on hand I know I'll be ok. I never had any bad side effects except for being tired. Trade is worth it"


"I am a 21 year old, no children. The insertion was mildly uncomfortable, but with labour breathing techniques, bearable. I had spotting for a week after the insertion. My period for the first year was very heavy, up to 15 days. Cramping was mild throughout. After one year my period has calmed down and is now back to the 7 days as before I had the IUD. No other side effects. I would definitely recommend the Paragard to anyone who wants hormonal free IUD. But be prepared for the heavy periods, as it takes time for the IUD to settle in your uterus. I was close to giving up but finally my period has returned to normal and boy am I happy."


"For a few weeks I had a dry mouth. I still waken during the night but straight back to sleep again. At the beginning some brain zap things.
But I love it! This medication makes me feel normal, happy, awake and life is much better. A little concerned about coming off it but I'll deal with that at the time."


"I was on this pill for about a year and noticed weight gain, irritability, and horrible periods. I would have break through bleeding almost every month, and my period would last at least 10 days. My breasts were extremely tender as well. After about a month of being off of this pill and switching to another, I have lost weight and not had the bad side effects."


"I have used this in the past, due to taking antibiotics after having a tooth pulled. I am 14 weeks pregnant, and day one is the worse. I was on fire for about 15 minutes, then i started reading people's post on here, and after laughing so hard, the burning is gone. This is my second time having to use this and I'm 31years old. I know it's not funny to have a YI, but I got a good chuckle out of the fact I'm not the only one on fire over here. Thanks. Product clears infection in 3 days."


"I currently have Nexplanon implanted and when I got it in, I had a light periods for 4 months straight. Since I only went on birth control to stop my hellish periods, this wasn't ideal. My doctor put me on a normal pill birth control (3 weeks of the pill, 1 week placebo). During the placebo week, my horrid periods were back so I told my doctor and that's when she prescribed me Ashlyna. I've been taking it for a month so far and everything has gone great. I've actually somehow managed to lose weight, there hasn't been any bleeding at all, and my mood seems to have improved (I used to get depressed during my period). Everyone responds different to medications but I would recommend Ashlyna."


"I'm 17 and have been on Ocella for about 9 months, if not more. In terms of effectiveness, I can't say I know, because I use a condom every time I have sex.
However, it has done wonders for my acne, and I haven't had an increase in weight. But I've noticed recently, that whenever I have my period, I end up being in a TERRIBLE mood. I don't want anyone to talk to me, or anything. I want to cry. I'm either pissed, or I cry.
Another bad thing I noticed is my sex drive has gone WAY down. I'm considering changing it, but I need the pills for periods as well, my periods are very irregular, but I want to be on birth control since I am having sex."


"I first started the depo shot about 2 years ago. I switched from the Mirena iud because I bled constantly and sex was often very painful. Before the iud my periods were absolutely terrible with extreme cramping and back pain. For two years I loved life with no periods, no spotting and no pain then I missed a shot. I started again about a month ago and today had very dark maroon/brown spotting? Not sure what that means."


"If migraine is caught at first onset. This medicine absolutely works wonders!"


"I had a serious problems with GERD. Chest pain, jaw pain, abdominal pain, and back pain caused from GERD makes me feel like I am dying, literally. I've been in the ER well over 4 times for this alone. I've been prescribed everything you can think of. I tried anything I could try to help this problem to no avail. The ONLY thing that helps with the chest pain is milk but it doesn't stop it completely it doesn't even touch the abdominal pain at all though and it's so excruciating that it is dibilitating. I'm 8 months pregnant now and I went in to labor and delivery with the worst abdominal pain I've ever felt in my life, prescribed carafate and works in 20 mins. Miracle drug for me."


"For starters, I've been living through endo for 9 years now. But, after two surgeries for ectopic pregnancies my periods and pelvic pain hit an all time high so I decided to give the depo shot a go.

Day three after getting the shot the bleeding/spotting started and never let up. I was constantly wearing a pad or panty liner. No bueno. Along with the spotting was off and on cramping, GI issues, and an insatiable appetite. I was basically having my period every single day. This went on for 4-5 months and let me just say to women worried about gaining weight, NO! Try something else. I gained 23 freaking pounds and now my body doesn't want to let go of that weight. All in all this did nothing but make my severe periods moderate and constant."


"I started taking the generic of Seasonique on August 16th. It is now October 11th and I have not stopped bleeding. It's the equivalent of a moderate period. I am trying to wait it out and take it through the end of the first pack to see if the bleeding subsides, but I still have another 5 weeks and I'm not sure it's worth it."


"I just started taking Celexa instead of Paxil and so far it's been helping me with my panic problem. I've only been taking it for about a week now. I stopped using Ativan abruptly and my panic attacks came right back even worse. Celexa isn't a bad drug so far."


"I have had a terrible cold with cough & breathing issues especially at night. This prescription was great for the cough & ability to get some rest."


"I recently went back on this pill. I took this pills for the first time 3 years ago had no side effects. When off to have kids. I recently went back on and so far still very happy. I was on generess fe which made my face breakout very badly . Mircette has cleared it all up. No complaints at all I feel great on this pill. I also have PCOS so it's been helping me with that . Hope it continues to work as well as it is so far ."


"I was on Armore compound 90 mg for last 2 years but started on the new Armore formula and had trouble with too much T3 and went to hyperthyroid. My endocrinologist changed me to Tirosint and it is a gel cap form, which is easy on the system. They are individual packaged, don't know why. After a few weeks I had a flare of hives and itching and some hair loss, but now I seem to be doing great! I will be excited to test my blood work to see the levels in a few weeks. I am hoping it will help with my fertility. "


"If you don't get ahead of an attack, this pill won't work. I have been on it for years now and have had little problem with it until it didn't work one weekend so I doubled up on it and ended up in the hospital a week later with seizure due to hypomagnesia (or however you say lack of magnesium). Make sure you are getting all your electrolytes when taking proton pump inhibitors."


"I always considered eating certain foods was enough to combat constipation but have found that as I aged this was not sufficient. I decided to start using Metamucil and found this to be easy to take, tasteless and the condition has vastly improved."


"Ive been on Tri Sprintec for about 6 months now.  It has helped with my pmdd.  I used to cry, get anxiety,  and have suicidal thoughts around my period and those have completely gone away. I also never get cramps anymore.  My period is lighter and always done by sunday when I start my new pack.  My only complaint is I have gained 20 pounds but I also stopped breastfeeding at the same time I started so I dont know which is the cause."


"I am so lucky to have discovered this medication. It has really changed my life. I am no longer afraid to let people see my face with/without makeup. This is the first time that I have felt comfortable with my skin in 10 years! If you are just starting to use this medication be patient. I did not see great results until well into the 3rd month of using it. I also found it's important to only use a small thin layer otherwise your initial breakouts will be worse. Good luck!"


"The coughing while on this drug (3rd month now) is driving me mental, the coughing is hard, wakes me up 6 times a night, and I sneeze uncontrollably during the day. This causes incontinence ( I am 72) I went off it today to see if I could normalize my life. My blood pressure is still high even though I am on amlopodine and a diuretic too. Also my legs ache."


"I was on Synthroid for 1 1/2 years I gained 10 pounds and had anxiety. For the first year I had full trust in my doctor, but later I was not feeling right. I had memory fogs, anxiety, and my weight was a problem. I used to be a size 4 and now I am a size 12. That alone was depressing. I took charge and researched Hashimotos Disease. I later told my doctor that I wanted to go on Armour and that I was done with Synthroid. He said okay and put me on a 60mg   30mg because he thought we would have to adjust it. Well here I am a year later taking 60mg   30mg and 10 pounds less without working out."


"I've been on Nuvaring for two weeks and I've been having a heavy period since I put it in. I've also been tired, cranky, nauseated and I never want sex. I love sex! So I don't like this birth control. I'd rather go back to the high school method and use condoms!"


"Great birth control pill. I use it for contraception (the only form I regularly use) and for polycystic ovarian syndrome symptom management. Prior to trying Safyral I tried two other brands and had horrific side effects. The only one I get on this pill is cravings! Mostly for sugar and sometimes carbs which I try hard to avoid! I would highly recommend this pill!"


"I have been on it for years. My sons are also on it..if taken as the directions of your doctor its almost perfect. Our moods are stable and we almost feel normal."


"changed my life for the better"


"I'm 52 with heavy long lasting periods.  I was hoping for alot more results. I took it 7 mo given it a fair try. Unfortunately, it wasn't the answer.  I have bad cramps its heavy, blood clots still.  No sex drive, fatigue,  it made me crazy and I drove my husband away.  I do not recommend it."


"I've been diagnosed Bipolar II 3 years ago. My depressed periods were much longer than manic ones. My psychiatrist and I tried many medications without success for bipolar depression. In April, he suggested to try Latuda. I was hesitant because we already tried so many medications... but I decided to try. After a week, my depressed symptoms were almost gone. No suicidal thoughts anymore. I was feeling good and was able to determine if my bad feelings were related to my life conditions or to my bipolar condition. I noticed a decreased libido which is my only side effect. This medicine doesn't reduce my anxiety which is still very high."


"64 year old Male Chronic Plaque Psoriasis since age 12. Hospitalised many times. Previously tried everything including PUVA, UVB & Tar, Dithranol, Topica Steroids, Topical Calcipitrol , Acetretin, Cyclosporin, Methotrexate, Fumaric Acid Esters, Infliximab (Remicade) and finally now Stelara.
All treatments with the exception of Acetretin and Cyclosporin have been effective to some degree up to full clearance but the relapse time was always short. Was on Remicade for 3.5 years which was very effective but lost its effect over the last 6 months. Have just had my 3rd set of injections (2 at a time) and am as clear as I have ever been in 52 years. Truly life changing. Paid for by NHS!"


"This drug has changed my life for the better I have been on and off anxiety drugs for 30 years would come off them for a few years and the anxiety and panic would always return. After 2 years on citalopram came off went 2 years being off them then anxiety returned went sertraline what a nightmare after 2 months stopped because of very bad side effects after 4 weeks went back on for 3 months suffered really bad again phoned Docs changed me to venlafaxine 75 mg slow release sat and looked at them for a month terrified.  Eventually phoned Docsb who put me straight.  I took them and what a difference I am alive again and no problems 10 out of 10 saved my life and life is good again never felt so good. After 30 years this is the one for me. Thx. Do not be afraid of this"


"First two months on the pill caused my first period to be longer than usual."


"Like many others, I had put off having a colonoscopy.  I was 55 and was prescribed to take this.  I had been told by other people using other preps that they were up all night and how horrible it was.  I was so glad that my surgeon gave me this.  Within a half hour of taking the first dose, there was action and it only lasted about 30 - 45 minutes.  I was back and forth to the bathroom, of course, but then that was it for the first dose.  The same for the second dose.  The taste really was not that bad for me.  One trick is to get it really cold.  I think I probably held my nose and just chugged it down.  Same prep for my followup colonoscopy and same results.  Oh, and I'm cancer free now!"


"I've been taking it (10/325 every 4 hours when required) for four months now and have found it to be very effective for my back, hip and leg pain caused by a failed laminectomy. It doesn't block nerve pain, but it helps me to forget it for the four or five hours between doses. Since it is an opioid, it does cause constipation and you have to stay on top of it with fiber and laxatives."


"Metformin is probably saving my life. I got diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome about a year ago, and I have the best doctor in the state of Colorado. Along with phentermine, and although I do truly despise the sick tummy I get from it, Metformin really does help train you on what you should and shouldn't be eating."


"Barely felt the pinch. Just a little redness, bump around the injection and itchiness for a few days. Not sore at all compared to regular shots"


"I'm 18 years old and was put on Topamax for headaches at 16. In the beginning, I was put on 2 x 25mg per day, then increased to 2 x 25mg in the morning, and 2 x 25 mgs at night. After reading everyone's reviews I think I was put on way too much. I weighed about 125 and I got down to 108! I thought I looked great although many people said I looked too skinny. The con is that it made me feel very slow and I couldn't concentrate well. As I started to ween myself off of it, the headaches went away. I now weigh 135 and gained about 30 lbs since being off of it. I am considering going back on to lose weight."


"The day after my period ended, I had a little incident with my boyfriend penetrating me (without protection) for only about a couple seconds, before realizing "Hey that probably wasn't a good idea!". Me being me, I freaked out and asked him to buy me the pill 12-13 hours later incase there was any cum. I didn't seem to get much symptoms the first couple of days, only minor cramping, yet I did go off on my boyfriend a few times due to terrible mood swings. My period was set to come in 3 weeks, and here I am, just got my period today! It was 3 days late, but it was all worth it. If you're reading this like I was before, you will be fine! My incident may have been fine without the pill, but it does ease your mind just in case :)"


"I took a second pill and had a severe reaction to it in less than 25 minutes. It started with nausea, hives, extremely dizzy and lightheaded, slurred speech, shortness of breath, rapid heart beat and rise in blood pressure and heart rate, severe anxiety and weakness. "


"Depression was much better but the side effects were too bad to risk. Blood pressure increased, felt hot all of time and nausea that would not subside. But for once I did feel like my depression was much better. Back to Celexa now"


"This is by far the best medication of about the 5 I have been tried on

Doesnt make me feel like a zombie

I agree with others tho I do experience slight rapid cycling and I have got myself into a financial pickle lately over spending but to be able to control my anxiety and my compulsive behaviour really has helped me to feel "normal" again"


"STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG!!!!! Everyone ranking this at a "10" now, will regret it later!!!! Please avoid all Benzo's!! Especially this one!!! It wears off eventually and you'll have to keep going up in milligrams and the next thing you know, TOLERANCE WITHDRAWAL SETS IN!! You'll have no choice but to stop taking it and the withdrawal symptoms are hell on earth if not tapered off slooooooooooooooowly. And, even done that way isn't a walk in the park. Again, please avoid all Benzo's. Especially this one!!!! Goggle the withdrawal facts and people's stories on this pill....."


"Not sure about any medicine I take.  But Januvia was 56 bucks in Sept 14, now it is 96 bucks,  Got a letter from them after complaining, their answer priced competitively, what does that mean when there is not competition?????   There is no Generic and they know it.

Tempted to take myself off of it, found that if I forget it for two days, I crash when resuming the medicine.."


Chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine

"When my family changed doctors several years ago, the first time my children needed a really strong cold medicine our doctor prescribed Rondec.  It did absolutely nothing.  He tried prescribing it again several different times through the years with the same result.  Maybe it works for some people, but not for anyone in my house."


"It's been 3.5 days that I am taking 875mg /125mg of clauvulin why do I feel still congested?"


"With my family history of colon cancer and my bout with colon cancer, I've been getting a colonoscopy every 3 years.  This past April I was told to use Miralax. It was the first time my prep was not sufficient to proceed with the procedure even though I followed the instructions exactly."


"I was on and off the shot for about 3 years from 16-19. It was fine. I got back on the shot about 2 months ago (April 12, 2016) after being off for over a year. Almost immediately following I have developed: anxiety, depression, loss of appetite (I've lost about 30lbs but I was a bit over weight so nbd), headaches, nosebleeds, palpations, crazy mood swings, crying for no reason, no control over my emotions, excessive dry mouth, dehydration, loss of vision, horrible back pain, nausea bloating discomfort and constipation when I do try to eat, numbness in my arms and legs, FSAD, I shake like crazy, headaches, dizziness, body ache and weakness, hair loss(literally half), and insomnia. The only thing I had before was asthma when I 12."


"At first it was great. I experienced some side effects (headaches & nausea) but didn't think to attribute them to the Nuvaring. Then they became regular, and the headaches got bad! I have a 7 month old and they make it difficult to care for him. Nothing gets rid of them and the pain makes me super irritable. I started the Nuvaring 3 months ago, I was almost back to my pre-baby weight. I have since gained almost 15 lbs and have no sex drive, which is putting a major strain on my relationship. To top it off, the past 2 months I've started my cycle a few days early (17-18 days) while the ring was still inserted. I'm changing my birth control. "


"I have been taking Xanax off and on for about 3 years now. It is great for anxiety. I spent thousands of dollars going to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack before it was brought to my attention that it was actually anxiety. I take 0.5mg as needed now. I noticed that when I stopped taking it that I could not sleep for days and I became shaky at times, and the anxiety returns immediately. The other thing that I notice is that after a while you become immune to the dosage. If you only take it with the onset of an anxiety or panic attack it shouldn't be a problem."


"I just started a trial package my doctor gave me 9 days ago. I've had no side effects other than headache, which has been tolerable and treated with Advil. The main benefit I've noticed is that I'm not constantly hungry, so it's helping control my eating. I've lost 3 lbs, which seems minimal to others' reviews, but I'm happy how it's going so far with no side effects. I started with the trial package because my insurance doesn't cover the medication, so I wanted to make sure I could tolerate any effects.  I'll plan to continue using the medicine."


"Lexapro has been extremely effective for me. I did not have clinical depression, just depression from cumulative stress. It took about two weeks to kick in, but after that life went slowly back to normal. I am myself again and I get to go off the meds soon."


"Maybe my experience can help someone else... I have just completed a 30 day supply of Zoloft. My anxiety has been debilitating since my Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in October of 2015. It became so bad that I was becoming bed ridden, afraid to leave my home. As a mother of 3 and a wife and daughter, my family needed me and I wasn't able to be there. I finally told my husband and parents I needed to seek help. After a therapy session and a visit with my family doctor I was given Zoloft. I received it on a Tuesday but was so afraid to take it, I didn't take my first one until Friday (I had read a few bad drug reviews, so I knew some things I could expect, but chose to focus on all the success stories for motivation.) For three weeks it was rough. Also must note, during this time we were hit with hurricane Matthew which didn't help and I believe set me back a few days. My side effects were tummy aches, diarrhea (sometimes 4 or 5 times a day), a few hot flashes, a couple days of zombie feeling, and I had 2 bad panic attacks. I know this sounds horrible, however, my opinion is that I felt as though I had hit rock bottom which is why I turned to medication. I already felt bad, so my commitment was to see this medicine through to the 4-6 week mark as instructed. If I had stopped taking it, I still would have felt horrible, that is what my life had become. With the wonderful support of my children and husband, a lot of take out food, and my parents helping to take and pick up my kids from school, I am SOOOOOO thankful I stuck with it and made it to the 4 week mark. I feel like I'm getting my life back. It is worth everything you go through. In full disclosure, some people get no side effects... my 20 year old son has been on Zoloft for a year and never had one side effect. I wasn't that lucky and seemed to have most. Please give yourself the chance. You will read over and over again to stick with it until 4-6 weeks... you must do yourself that favor. Surround yourself with support if you can and just do it! I'm so blessed to have my life back!!!!!"


"I've been taking this pill for about 2 months, and have been very pleased. I experienced some mild weight gain, but not so much that it really matters. I had previously been on two other birth controls within the last year (LoLoestrin Fe and Kelnor) and Levora is BY FAR better for me. I can take the pill a few hours late and it's totally fine (my previous pills would case spotting if I took it even an hour late). I have skipped my periods thus far (so, twice) and have had no issues with spotting. Had one or two days in the last 60 where I was irrationally moody and bitchy, but for the most part I am very happy with Levora."


"MY PCP prescribed pristiq for my depression, anxiety, mood issues etc. He told me that the drug takes a few weeks before you could see a difference but I feel like I experienced everything the first day I took the drug. Although my mood and energy improved and felt better overall the side effects were so severe I decided to discontinue after the first day. My side effects started with heart palpitations, sweating, dizziness and a faint feeling. This later subsided but turned into nausea and loss of appetite I couldn't eat anything that day and even water made me gag. That night I slept for a total of 3 hours I couldn't stay asleep and the time I did fall asleep it felt like I wasn't asleep at all. My body felt numb and my heart was racing."


"I was put on Triamterene HTCZ 37.5-25 mg. as a replacement for Lisinopril (coughing and throat closing up after 2 yrs. on med)

I was put onTriamterene in January , blood pressure was good but felt nervouse at times, mood swings, constipated. March had blood work , my uric acid level was 10.1 High, my Bun was 10.1 High, had blood in my urine and fowel smelling urine. Was not feeling well. My blood work also stated " Moderately Reduced Kidney Function"

This med is poison to the kidneys! March stopped Triamterene was put on Verapamil ER 120MG. Seems to be working o.k..i am very relaxed on this med which helps my pb as I am a nervouse anxiouse person which brings up my BP. New Lab reports are now good."


"I've been taking Trileptal for bipolar disorder for years. I switched from Depakote as it made my hair fall out and I hated the monthly blood tests. I take a large dose of Trileptal, 2100mg/day and shortly after taking it I may have some short-lived side effects (tingling in my face, mild double vision and sleepiness) for about a 1/2 hour. My doctor says I might avoid these if I'd split it into morning and evening doses but I have no doubt I'd forget the morning dose regularly. Trileptal has been very good to me! I still take a low dose birth control (Norethindrone 0.35mg/day) to help with "monthly" ups and downs and we've added Lamictal for it's antidepressant effects (I found out anti-depressants may increase cycling). I've never felt this "Normal" before!"


"I have been on Accutane for 3 months and the ONLY bad thing I would say is the dryness and migraines. That part sucks, I have been on the 1 a day treatment, and this month my doctor up-d me to twice a day.Once he did that I started getting nose bleeds and TERRIBLE migraines, which made me throw up. I told my doctor & he backed down to 1 a day. My acne started clearing up the first month, but it was still bad, then month two I FINALLY had clear skin. It was amazing, I hadn't seen a day without a zit in 10 years (I'm 21 now) and now I feel great. I highly recommend Accutane to people who suffer with depressing acne. I tried Proactive 3 times, Acne free, Clearasil clean advantage kit, homepathic remedies - DIDN'T WORK. ACCUTANE does!"


"Had Propofal for an 8 hour esophagectomy. Worked great I don't have any recollection of being put to sleep. I was talking to my surgeon and then I woke up in recovery surgery complete. No sickness at all and it was as if no time past no dreaming nothing at all. Took about an hour to fully wake up but then I was fine."


"Diclegis is by far the best medicine for morning sickness..i suffered with all my pregnanciess (Hyperemesis Gravidarum) - ...which is severe morning sickness...with  this pregnancy i was prescribe Diclegis. Which work wonders...not even drowsy! No nausea or vomiting I love this medicine it is a life saver and works great n completely safe..glad FDA put it back on the market"


"After 2 years on Percocet for back pain, my surgeon recommended I see a pain specialist. The doctor prescribed Nucynta ER and completely took me of the Percocet. The first 5 days were awful. I was taking 50 mg twice a day to get it in my system, then taking 150mg twice daily as my regular routine. I didn't think it worked at all and felt terrible because of the withdrawal from Percocet. I stuck with it and am glad I did. My mornings are much better because I'm in almost no pain whereas before, mornings were the worst. It has much less adverse effects on my short term memory, ability to focus, and ability to function more at the workplace (I'm a math teacher) than when I was taking Percocet. The negatives are that I still have evening pain."


"I have been taking Effexor XR for about 12 years now. I have spent my life fighting debilitating anxiety and depression. I would have panic attacks, horrible downward spiraling thoughts, extreme negativity, physical symptoms such as shaking, and could even lose touch with reality in severe episodes of depression. No amount of behavioral therapy and monitoring of a diet, exercise, or treatment plan would make a dent in my anxiety. Within weeks of taking Effexor XR, I finally had a chance to understand what it is like to live without terrible anxiety. I haven't really experienced any negative side effects, except perhaps hot flashes and night sweats. Life is finally manageable. I am thankful for every day I have, now, thanks to Effexor."


"I have ADHD & narcolepsy. I recently started Adderall after trying a few other medications. So far the Adderall has been a God send. I hope it continues to help me with my problems."


"I see a lot of people bad mouth this medication. It works extremely well for me, and I responded within just a few days. My psych doc says he has a number of patients that this med worked well for as well. It is also an effective antidepressant for me. Just my experience."


"Just one week in and my scalp is almost 100% clear. MY forehead is 100% clear. MY stomach , sides, back and legs have stopped producing scales and is starting to clear to a light pink , not red and angry anymore. THE only side effect I am having thus far is the tension headaches , in which I started taking i.b. profin when I start feeling it come on. So far I am very pleased with the medication."


"Very good"


"I was given this drug and I started having pains all up and down my spine. I continued the drug because of my psychiatrists insistence that it wasn't caused by the drug. Months later I started having problems with paranoia and insomnia. I ended up in the hospital because I was almost suicidal and they took me off the medicines. All the side effects just melted away after that."


"So far, I would give this a 10. I'm on my second week and not a single negative side effect. No nausea, no moodiness. It's even increased my sex drive (which me and my boyfriend both love about it). My skin has started to look clearer, and I feel happy on the pill. I'm looking forward to see how well it treats me!"


"I always read reviews but for some reason I didn't this time.  I wish I had. This stuff it horrible, it should be taken off the market. It made my vagina feel 10 times worse than the YI. DON'T USE THIS! I had to sit in a tub, while my husband went to get me a douche at 11pm at night. There is a reason this has so many TRUE bad reviews."


"I'm 25 yrs old, male and I started taking Adderall for Adult ADD 2 months ago.  My physician and I decided to give it a shot because I was having a terrible time at work (4yrs employed) doing the simple, but long term tasks/projects that everybody else were doing on time/completed.  Pros: Productivity up 300%, more attention to detail, finishing tasks, major increase focusing (easily!), major decrease in stress from cognitively/mentally draining myself in attempt to 'stay focused', more energy.  Cons:  severe initial 7-10 days side effects.  Still experiencing severe dehydration, dry mouth, nausea, dead libido, moody, increase in tobacco smoking, loss of appetite.  Fantastic benefits.  Side effects are still mild, if anything."


"23-year old female. I've been on Inderal (Propranolol) for about 1 year now after suffering with increasingly bad migraines for about 8 years. I was prescribed Imitrex (Sumatriptan) to treat the migraines, but that made me nauseous and didn't fix the migraines at all. After being prescribed Inderal, I was migraine free, all but for maybe one menstrual-related migraine per month, which the doctor recommended treating with 1 week pre-menstrual daily dose of ibuprofen leading up to my cycle -- which worked! So now I am 100% migraine free between 20mg each morning and night of Inderal, and 400mg daily of ibuprofen the full week before my cycle. Inderal might make you have some very vivid dreams, and cause you to feel a bit drowsy at first."


"I have used this pill for a short time. The doctor told me to take it at night, that was a bad move. I couldn't sleep at all then during the day I felt as if I was high. Didnt like the feeling. So my doctor switched me to Pristiq hopefully it will work for me."


"The medicine worked great to counter my sinusitis and I was breathing better after just one dose. But the side effects are almost unbearable. Nausea, dizziness, headache, lightheaded, dry mouth and constipation. The dizziness and lightheadedness kicks in after about an hour of taking the pill and lasts for about 5 hours. Very difficult to function normally and trying to work while taking this medicine. "


"I have been taking it for almost 2 years and I love it."


"I wasted £8.60 on this garbage. Would strongly suggest antibiotics instead of wasting both time and money."


"Where do I start!? This medicine is horrible!  I guess The moment you put the first pill in your mouth.. it taste like poison! The pill is a little hard to swallow! I’m taking the 500MG , 2x a day for BV! I decided to take mine 3 days before my menstrual cycle started and I didn’t see a difference in my discharge before my cycle came so I don’t know if it’s working or not! (I didn’t have a foul odor or anything before taking this medicine)! But what I do know is this medicine has made me very nauseous and fatigue!! And also I think it maybe giving me a yeast infection because I’ve been feeling a little itchy pain down there (once I got to day 3)!!! I’m on day 4 and I’m just ready to be done!!! They need to find another remedy!!"


"O...M...G... Called my gynnie & she says, "try the monistat & come in Monday". I bought the monistat 1 day ovule, & 2hrs later i'm lying in bed squeezing my legs & vag walls together trying to alleviate the itch! What started out as a mild itch intensified times 10. I wouldn't wish this pain & agony on my WORST ENEMY! Meanwhile my boyfriend is snoring & sleeping in pure bliss. Being a woman really blows sometimes."


"My husband has advanced Alzheimer's and has been on 3 weeks of the 4.6 patch. He has become sexually active after months of no sex, but now wants it every night. I'm afraid to get him to the next level."


"Hey everyone I'm here with review, and I finally know this helped my irritable bowel syndrome. I'm a healthy woman in her mid-40s, just slightly overweight, but not too much."


"Got sample from my MD and was told to take one capsule each day. On the day that I received them I took as prescribed... 30 minutes before meal.

I waited exactly that 30 minutes before I had lunch and 2 hours later I was no longer constipated.

No side affects with my one dose."


"Little positive results.  Caused excessive dry mouth and markedly reduced ejaculate."


"Bactrim did a great job! My whole lower part of the body hurt and burned, it was awful. I couldn't even walk for a while without feeling strong pain. Going to the toilet was a nightmare and it happened every five minutes. I took Bactrim and the symptoms got worse, but then in two days I was cured. no pain, no nothing. Bactrim is perfect."


"Singulair has been a life saver for me.  I am a newly diagnosed asthmatic which had become debilitating.  I was put on a course of prednisolone to relieve symptoms, then doctor tried to control asthma with inhalers.  Couldn't get under control with only the inhalers so was prescribed Singulair.  It is amazing, I hardly use my reliever. Before I was using anything up to 40 times a day.  Hayfever symptoms reduced also.  Able to run again, I'd reached the point where I could hardly walk never mind run.  Now I'm starting to get my life back."


"As a heavy drinker for ten years, up to 750ml of spirits per night, I finally turned to the doctor for help, after losing my partner and suffering from severe depression.  Campral has stopped the cravings and keeps that little voice inside my head that says just one at bay.  I have been on it for nearly six months and haven't touched a drop.  At first there were side effects of severe wind and dizziness, but they went away after about four weeks. If you are serious about making a positive change, give it a go."


"I was placed on Stelara Jan 2016 after suffering Moderate to Severe Psoriasis for 43 yrs (Im 47) yup my whole life with this hideous curse. Stelara for me was great I had NO SIDE EFFECTS I went from 80% covered to less then 10% after the 4th injection. Severe pain forced me to seek biologics not vanity. In Oct 2016 I was diagnoised with Thyroid Cancer and was removed from Stelara for next 2 yrs. "Sigh" Stelara DID NOT cause my thyroid cancer I was sick with thyroid issues a couple of years prior to using Stelara even after repeated visits to my Doctor and many specialists who all told me for 3 years my issues were in my head and after all this it ended up being all in my throat. Psoriasis sufferers are treated like complainers by most Dr."


"I found this very effective in combination with diclofenac. Previously the diclofenac was only lasting 1-2 hours in combination with either 2 x Tylenol 3 or 1 Percocet, but with only 1 Oxycontin per day, diclofenac once again lasts for 5-7 hours per 50mg dose."
