"I had suffered through many cold sores, and spent tons of money on abreva. When my doctor prescribed me valtrex I was finally satisfied because within the first tingling feeling , and me taking valtrex most times the cold sore just disappears. I can take valtrex at the first symptom , and it's no longer an issue. Most times not even my boyfriend will see the bump , and I have to point it out. I love valtrex, and am extremely happy with my results."


"I was shocked when I woke up from my C-section and was very coldly told by my robot nurse that I was "allowed" 4 injections of TORADOL for having my gut ripped open and 2 children taken out. Please! Toradol won't even kill a migraine. Just because some big pharm study came out falsely proclaiming that an anti-inflammatory is more effective than IV opioids for post op pain is utter BS. I was miserable, crying and the hospital wouldn't even let me have 2 Advil except every 4 hours! there is something seriously wrong with our health care system when Toradol is considered first line pain control after ANY invasive surgery. are these people crazy? I left the hospital because they were simply making me more upset which aggravated my pain further."


"Greatly eased anxiety, after being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder."


"Pristiq has been the most effective drug I've came across in my life for this mental illness! Only side effect is because it's a timed release, if you miss 1 day taking it you will feel like a train hit you. Otherwise it's the most stable I've ever felt!"


"Started on 20g which worked well and helped me sleep.I  have just gone up to 50mg taking my first tonight looking forward to them kicking in"


"I have been taking this birth control pill for almost a year. At first, I was an extreme bitch and super emotional for about the first month or two and my breasts increased and I probably gained about 5 pounds. I also spotted throughout the first month of taking it. But after three months, everything went back to normal, and my acne decreased I had occasional zits here and there but now my skin is completely clear. Also, it has made my period 3 days shorter. My period used to be a week long and now it lasts four days and it's pretty light and I do not get any cramps. If you can make it through the first few months it's totally worth it!"


"I've only been taking it since March 10 2012. I watch 4 kids and 1 of them is very hyper so far it has helped me deal with that child."


"As you see I gave the effectiveness a 10 (I didn't get pregnant anytime)! I had regular periods (4-5 days and no irregular bleeding) and no mood swings, however I did always feel a lot hungrier but I didn't gain any weight and I would experience very frequent terrible headaches. Other than that I would recommend this pill plus everyone is different so just because I had headaches don't mean you will."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Like many others on here I was terrified of the "prep" phase. I had heard horror stories from so many people of being so ill and throwing up. I have a weak stomach and do not do well with things that taste disgusting. Well...I was pleasantly surprised. Just like everyone says...the taste is cherry seawater, but I used the advice on here and was able to get it down. Chilled it and put a lemonade packet in it. Much better! I also took a Zofran (anti-nausea pill) 2 hours before I started prep. Instead of "chugging" because I knew that would make me throw-up, I sipped through a straw and drank each dose over the course of 1/2 -1 hour. Then drank my water bottles. No cramping, nausea or horror stories here. Works like a charm and clears you out."


"Our 11year old son with autism began Abilify mainly to combat fears (thunder, loud sounds, etc.) and to allow him calm down. It helped with that. It also regulated his sleep cycle very nicely. But he has put on a lot of weight. I tried taking him off of it, but the facial hitting (he hits himself) and screaming were really bad. Overall a good, benign medicine."


"I have taken either Zoloft or venlafaxine since 2000. It has made my IBS nonexistent. Always had a queasy feeling before and horrible IBS for years. Definitely improved my QOL."


"Absolutely love skyla! I had only used pills before, never had any terrible side effects from those, but I wasn't happy with them, so I decided to switch. My experience with getting it inserted was pretty much just heavy-period like cramps that day and randomly for the next 2 week (I have never had children too and did not find the insertion painful, just crampy). My period was longer (but lighter) for the first 6 months, but now I just spot for a couple of days every other month, which is fantastic. I also love the freedom of not having to remember to do anything for my birth control! The only down side for me is that it only lasts 3 years."


"I got perscribed this for mood swings during that time of the month rather than for birth control. So far it hasn't impressed me to much. I've been on it for 3 weeks now and my skin is usually very clear, but within 2 days of starting Sprintec I started severely breaking out and nothing will clear it up. As far as my mood swings, it works pretty well but every now and then I get really depressed and that's not normal for me. Lastly I've only thrown up like 3 times in my life but as soon as I started taking this I've been super nauseous every day and every other night or so I wake up and have to throw up. Maybe its affecting me more because I'm 15 but it's not been too great."


"This is a miracle drug for me. I have spinal cord damage and I would pee my pants several times a day and had to use poise pads all the time .
  As a woman I was absolutely miserable because I never feel clean. I am so grateful to my physician for recommending this drug to me"


"Have only taken the product for 2 days but have felt tired. My appetite has less than usual. I an glad with the loss of appetite. But am in hope that the tiredness will diminish once I have been taking the medication for awhile."


"I've had horrible pain since August 2014, with very few remission periods. Humira worked okay for 2 months then stopped. My Dr said my immune system built up antibodies to block it. Then Enbrel was tried, didn't help with the pain and I had a mild allergic reaction to the third shot, so finally my Dr tried Cimzia! 5 days after my first injections I awoke pain free!!!!
It lasted almost 3 weeks then I had a flare. But this flare isn't as severe as some I've had.
No side effects and Cimzia so far is working great!!!
Now if my immune system won't build antibodies against it!!!"


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I am almost done with the Prevpac, after I take it I have a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm hoping that I will be cured and that all the money that was paid is worth it."


"I have been on opioids for many years and that was increased in 2013 with a knee replacement surgery.  That's when the constipation became uncontrollable.  All the fiber in the world would not move me. Until linzess.  It is still unpredictable some days, ( unexpected and explosive) but it is better than being backed up, bloated and miserable.  I've been taking it on and off because my insurance would not pay or they would pay fora lower dose which I cannot use except very infrequently."


"Absolutely do NOT take this. I have never had acne and the second I started taking it my chin exploded into pimples everywhere!! Not to mention how depressed I was and the anxiety it gave me.  I also had no libido whatsoever!! Definitely do NOT recommend this is horrible!!"


"Was put on this for anxiety/pain. Although it did help with anxiety, it made me very weak in the legs.  So much so that I can't stand it. I am prescribed 60 mg, but I take 15 mg to keep the edge off. Im told weakness in muscles is not a side effect. Garbage ! I see in some comments that few others have it. Doctors act like we don't know our own bodies. ...So frustrating!"


"I've tried this product twice and both times it did zero to help even when applying at first "tingling".  The cold sore took just as long to heal as when I use nothing.  Plus it continued to spread on the third day.   I applied 5 times a day as recommended and ran out on the 3rd day.  Waste of money."


"Went to the ER with severe kidney stone pain (a 12). As soon as I got into a room they gave me a shot. It didn't take long to give me some wonderful relief (within 20 minutes, probably less).

They gave me a prescription of Torodol in pill form in case I had an additional stone issue. It took 45 minutes to work and it allowed me to get thru several Christmas events until I passed the stone or had surgery.

Fabulous stuff! I don't go anywhere without it."


"Just an update to my below comment - it has now been nearly a month and I have still not had a drink.  Campral is working but for me you still have to do A LOT on of this medicine - it is not a magic pill my any means. Combine therapy with this medicine is suggested."


"I started 5 days ago. The first 2 days I had dizziness and serious hunger pangs. I  felt like I was more hungry than ever. The side  affects are lessening..but not 100% gone. Sadly despite diet and exercise I have not lost 1 pound. I'll see how things go for a full 2 weeks before stopping."


"Ive battled constipation for the past 16 years.  Ive tried every remedy you can think of and have gone through every OTC product recommended.  Probiotics and yogurt have been no help either.  I finally found relief with Linzess.  I currently take the lower dose along with an OTC stool softener per my doctors instructions.  Linzess works best on an empty stomach but watch out.  You'll want to stay near a restroom for the first 2 hours after taking it as diarrhea is an obvious side effect.  Accidents are a possibility if you're not mindful of the medication.  Ive been told that the diarrhea subsides after a while of taking Linzess but only time will tell."


"Started depo in Nov 2015

Wasn't too bad at first but I did get the occasional spotting and bleeding.Which sucked because it always happened when I went to see my bf(long distance relationship)

Got my 2nd shot and the doctor said after this the bleeding should stop. A day later no bleeding. I was like great.

Went to Jamaica in April.

2nd day im there, I start getting these cramps so I decide to go to the bathroom and check and wtf do I see? Blood.

Since April 19th I have not stopped bleeding.

It's now May 26th.

It does say that if the bleeding persists for more than 14 straight days, to contact your doctor. Which I did

He said that this wasn't for me at all and I'll be switching to the pill."


"I have been taking Pristiq for the treatment of bipolar disorder to treat my depression issues.  As for the depression it has helped a lot (I was locked into a depressive state for months).  I have been on this medication for about 3 weeks and so far have lost about 15lbs (I have been working out as well). Anyone who knows how hard it is to lose weight while on bipolar medicines will know it's heaven sent.  "


"I have only been taking Nucynta for about a week.  It was prescribed to me for severe pain caused by nerve regeneration in my lumbar and sacral joints.  I have been very close to being completely pain free thanks to my Doctor's willingness to try this medicine.  The only draw backs I've had was pounding headaches the first couple of days. Through God's help and the right medicines, I'm feeling much better"


"I have been on the pill for 3 weeks and I've been expierencing hair loss, acne, sore breasts, fatigue, mood swings, and it lowered my milk supply. I also had a little spotting. I have decided to stop taking the pills."


"So far I really like this pill. I just started my second pack and I haven't had any side effects besides some breast tenderness, and when I first started taking it (I started the first day of my period) I had some light spotting for about 4 days after my period ended. The only problem I'm having with it right now is that I got my period, but it isn't any shorter or lighter than usual and I'm getting mild cramps. It's kind of a bummer. I know my body is still getting used to the pill since it's only my second month, but I was hoping that it would kick in right away. But overall, it's a great pill and I feel completely normal on it."


"I was on a very high dose (64mg/day) for two years. At first, it was wonderful. My Dr. told me it was a mood stabilizer, and for me it did just that. For a while. After a few months, I started taking naps in the day - HIGHLY abnormal to me. Then after the naps, I started to go to bed earlier, and earlier. Then one day I realized I was sleeping 17 hours out of the day! Since I followed my Dr's intruction, and we weaned my off, my days are bright again! No naps, chores are getting done, I am not neglecting my hygeine, picking up forgotten hobbies, living, THRIVING!

And absolutely no withdrawl. "


"I started Byetta in 2005, sugars were between 300-350. My weight was around 320 also. I had horrid nausea. I threw up a lot too. My sugars immediately dropped to normal though. Now, looking back on it, I think I just ate all the wrong foods. I've been off and on Byetta over the years depending on which insurance I have had. I just started it back up two days ago after going off last month to try Onglyza. My weight is now 213 by the way."


"I started taking Levora two years ago. First off, my face was very clear (with the one or two pimples here and there) once I started taking Levora my face and back became covered in extremely painful cystic acne caused by the high levels of hormones. I would always have at least 2-3 on my face as well as getting 2 near my period. My breasts went from a 34 B to a whopping 36 D within a year of taking the pill. Even though I took the pill at night I would wake up with morning sickness where I could not eat and everything would make me nauseous. Levora did not help with my periods expect made them 5 days instead of 7 but they were always heavy. I've been off Levora for about three months and my acne is completely gone and I'm much happier."


"I'm not allergic to penicillin, but was given Clarithromycin due to a very severe antibiotic-resistant bout of tonsillitis. I'd been suffering for weeks taking antibiotics that didn't work, but literally after the first tablet, I noticed a difference. Works VERY well. However, these are not particularly good tablets to take when you have swollen tonsils because they are huge tablets - I had to cut mine up and swallow them in 4 pieces. Also, I've noticed some side effects: I have diarrhoea (not too badly, but it makes life a bit more difficult), wind, and the taste in my mouth is constantly bitter. But overall, a very good medicine!"


"I started on this birth control when I was 18 and 9 years later I sadly need to switch due to a change in my insurance. It is SO expensive on a high deductible plan. But when I was on it, it really helped keep my cycle super regular, skin clear, and no weight gain. But with most pills, you cant miss a day or more, otherwise the nausea/cramps are out of control! "


"I take Propranolol 120mg along with Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide 100mg/25mg once a day for severe high blood pressure and the results are awesome. My blood pressure is consistently averaging around 110/70 now, my heart rate is always around 70. I feel great and have zero side effects..."


"I started using this patch after surgery and have used it for 18 months. I just recently started noticing an increase in hot flashes, vaginal dryness and not being able to sleep. My doctor switched me to Premarin and a capsule for the dryness. I'm 48."


"I started getting nausea the first day on half of the smallest dose.

4 doses and I'm crying, have diarrhea, can't deal with anything. Cant get a hold of the nurse that prescribed it. Miserable. Crisis centers couldn't help.

Its been hell. Don't try this unless you can get immediate help from your psychiatrist."


"I am 24 years old and had very big chicken pox spots, so I used Sudocream containing zinc oxide to dry the spots. I also used it when I terribly burned my hand during cooking.
In both cases, it totally helped to calm down my skin condition and help it heal faster."


"No period immedietly for the last 2.5 years! Great! My cycle was regular before then. I was depressed leading up to the implant and was worried it would make things worse but it didn't. I have had annoying but not particularly problematic ailments since implant (like ringing in ears and strange bruise marks on lower leg) but not thought related so I have been told. Coming up for replace or remove in November undecided but would like it again."


"I tried Ortho Tri-Cyclen about a year ago and had to stop the pill within a week due to the horrible symptoms. I decided to give birth control another shot and went on Loestrin 24 Fe in November of 2011. The side effects have been mild so I've remained on it since and plan to continue using it. I did have stomach discomfort, headaches and a few other symptoms that subsided within the first few weeks. In the beginning months, I would get my period if I did not take the pill literally at the same exact time everyday. If I was 5 minutes late, I could expect a present the next day. That was kind of annoying, but the periods were pretty light so it wasn't anything worth stopping the pill over. A few months ago, my periods have stopped altogether."


"Overall it will take the edge off slightly.  Honestly though if you are detoxing of a good sized habit you aren't going to make it in this alone.  "


"I've taken 10 mg for 5 years for panic disorder, and it has drastically improved my quality of life. I also take 10 mg of Buspar because I did experience a very bad panic attack one year ago. I used to take 20 mgs over 5 years ago for 6 months, but it affected my sexual response. I think so long as you take JUST enough, it can really work."


"Loved this pill and experienced no side effects until after taking it for about 4 months. My sex drive has been ZERO and have had horrible dryness which was never an issue at all for me until after taking the pill. Talked to my doctor and apparently this is very common on this pill. It has started to interfere with my relationship so I will be switching."


"Went on the guaifenesin protocol years ago stopped all salicylates and mint containing products this works changed my life"


"I'm doing really well on this med. Calcium levels have stabilized!!! Off rocaltrol after one week on med. Just, it feels like it wears off too soon. Would like to see twice daily dosing."


"This is my second yeast infection in three weeks. This first was caused by scented soap and I had also worn a pair very tight lace underwear. Now during the first yeast infection I used the 7 day miconazole and my experience was very horrible I applied it at night and the itching was excruciating, the swelling from the infection was pretty bad during the day as well; But, I stuck with it for 7 days and it cleared up and everything was great. Then a week after the symptoms were clear it came back pretty mild and I noticed a little irritation. This time I am using Monostat 3 , I haven't been inserting the egg but I've been using the external cream, and there is some itching & burning when applied but it isn't too bad."


"Could not function or hold up my own weight.  Lyrica gave me my life back weeks after starting it.  I had dealt with pain for over 10 years.  I'm 39 and had weight gain but a small amount of a prescribed fluid pill took off pounds quickly."


"I've been on Viibryd 20mg for 18 months. My doctor suggested staying at 20mg at my follow up appointments because that dose currently works for my depression and mood changes. I still have to take it with a snack due to mild nausea. I don't like the abdominal distention (especially with PMS). I recently noticed memory problems and mixing up my words. Despite all that, I'm not going to stop Viibryd because I was an emotional mess 18 months ago. Celexa and "other" meds left me dull and in a haze. Now, I can cope better and feel more like me!"

"I have an anal-rectal abscess, and as you can imagine, it is debilitatingly painful. Once it is drained, all will be well, but the thing is, the doctors cannot drain it until it is 'ripe', which won't be for another 3-4 days. 3 days ago, after having this thing growing in me for over a week, I finally went to the walk in clinic, and they gave me antibiotics, and 30 T3s. The T3s I ate like candy, did NOTHING for the pain, and only helped with the fever like symptons these abscesses comes with, and knocked me out. Just got back from the doctor, and he prescribed me Dilaudid, 8 mg tablets, and so far I've only taken one, but I can walk almost normally for the first time in almost two weeks, wihtout grunting and wincing in pain."


"Tenuate is the best. After having my second child in April 2012 I blew up to a whopping 300 pounds. In October of 2012 I went to my doctor and he tried me on Tenuate for 1 month. This was the best decision ever. Tenuate not only controlled my appetite, it helped me eat smaller portion. I had a 30 day supply and made it last for 2 months. By December I went down to 280lbs. In January I started counting my calories on my own without the help of pills and its mid February now I'm down to 250. Tenuate showed me how I should eat and it may have "shrunk" my stomach. I also walk a mile every day, which helped speed up my weight loss process. If I can do it, you can too. Good Luck."


"I'm 18 I started depo in April 2015. I was bleeding off and on big blood clots and I didn't take the second one. Now it's December I stop bleeding then it started again but now I'm light bleeding and I only took 1 depo shot "


"Diagnosed with mild hypothyroid a month ago. Started feeling great, but also started getting a rash all over my upper thigh, it isn't itchy or red. It's just raised like poisin oak rash. Waiting to see if it is truly the Armour causing the rash. I haven't seen many people with this side effect. I would hate to stop it (30 mg)."


"Hit my first month today on Phentermine, and was very pleased to weigh in and be down 22 pounds. I have been going to the gym 5 to 6 times a week, plus really trying to eat right, and so far its been worth it. Definitely still need to work for the results, but it is most definitely helping.
"


"I am nearly finishing my 2nd packet and it's made me skin flare up so badly, the worst I've seen it in over a year! I need advice, will this get better cos I've only just started it ?"


"Norco has been good to relieve my pain from my L2, L3, L4 discs herniated and resulting pain level 8 in lower back and down the sciatica nerve in my legs.
   much better than morphine which makes me feel like I'm asleep and trying to move thru cement. It really has done a good job of lowering the pain level and consequently I can function relatively well and get some things done each day, giving me a better quality of life instead of just focusing on the pain.
   I know I've become addicted but I'd rather be addicted to something that helps me than constantly suffer from pain and have misery day after day."


"So I started taking phentermine because I have bad knees and cannot exercise and without losing weight I can't have surgery for a knee replacement. I must admit I was very skeptical about this pill but so far so good. I am 41 yrs old and I started taking this pill August 28th 2017 and at that time I weighed 365 lbs and as of this morning Sept 2nd I weigh 353 lbs. Thats a total of 12 lbs in less than a week. It completely takes my hunger away and I do have the dry mouth but I will deal with that. I have cut my food in half as I feel full much quicker and I like that. So far so good. I do drive a school bus so loading and unloading wheel chairs is a work out by it self so I get some exercise just not like I would like due to my knees."


"I have tried this medication on four different occasions as a replacement for Midrin.  It doesn't seem to touch my headache and provides no other benefits.  The first three times I took it, I felt hung over the next day, though that may have been from the migraine.  "


"This isn't a "feel good" drug. But it certainly alleviated my depression. I love that it doesn't come with too interfering a side effects. My mood has certainly changed for the better."


"I lost 10 pounds. I also almost went blind so after a month I quit and my vision returned. I quick cold turkey and had sleep paralysis with hallucinations. It was scary as heck. I was awake paralyzed, couldn't talk could not move. My hallucinations were I was in my room and something picked me up and threw me. Then something touched my back. A evil rabbit whispered in my ear. Then I woke up back on the other side of the room. This drug made me stupid as heck. I couldn't spell, talk or remember anything. My sleep paralysis scared me for life and I still think of the realistic dreams I had for 6 days. Don't take this medicine. It is terrible."


"I have to say this med has helped me a lot it has taken my pain from 8 to 3 I drive a semi so I'm very limited on what I can take.  Also sitting in that seat for hours on end would make me want to hang it up. The pain was so bad then I was put on tramadol now I can play with my kids right after driving for hours and just be a little stiff n sore instead of going straight to bed cause of the pain. Plus cigarettes tasted so nasty I had no problem quitting when I started"


"I kept this cough syrup even though it was five years old. Took it to stop an uncontrollable cough and boy did it work!  I was able to sleep soundly, better than ever. Woke up and did not feel like moving much. I would not take this if I had to go to work in the day. I only took one teaspoon and have done it for two nights."


"I have used several types of pain medication. I used fentanyl and was able to work for 5 extra years. The only problem that I had was my body absorbed it within 48 hours. My doctor didn't just increase the dosage he has me changing every 48 hours."


"Nine months on Gileyna. I am thrilled that I do not have to take a daily Copaxone injection. No side effects, no relapse, no indication that it does anything. I guess that means it is doing its job. All of the DMDs are expensive!"


"I was on Kariva for about 6 months and gained about 15 pounds. It regulated my period just fine but I had to go up like 2 pants sizes and had to buy all new bras. I used to be a size 0-3 (depending on brand, usually around a 2 though) but went up to a 5-7 on Kariva. Once I switched to Apri, my breasts stayed about the same size but I lost all of that bloated water-weight that I had on Kariva. On Kariva, I was sooooo bloated every single day and it was miserable. I was all squishy and plump and considering I gained all of my weight on my stomach, wearing anything other than sweatpants felt horrible. DO NOT RECOMMEND."


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


"This drug has the highest rating because it works the best.  It is a shame that the insurance companies have such a hard time giving people the drugs that work.  I have such issues with the other drugs that treat my ADHD that I have stopped taking any because the insurance company wont pay for desoxyn.  Shame on them!"


"Currently on week 2 of my experience with Celexa to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and depression. The first couple of days were absolutely terrible due to side effects (nausea, insomnia, headache, flu like symptoms and a huge increase in my depression). Don't know why I had such a severe reaction to the medication right off the bat since I've heard this is one of more tolerant SSRI's in terms of side effects. But after the a few days my system normalized and I'm already starting to feel like myself again. The doctor said it could take up to 4-6 weeks for it to fully be in effect, but I find myself sleeping through the night and waking up with a much more positive attitude and not on edge with anxiety like I had been in the past. So far so good!"


"I haven't had the Mirena for very long, about 4 months. The first two months I bleed a normal period the whole time. I guess it's kind of normal until your body gets use to the hormones in the Mirena which I guess takes about 3 months. but my doctor put me on a medicine to help slow down the bleeding which stopped my bleeding completely until a few days ago I got my first period and its so light! I don't even notice it until I go to the bathroom and even then its still hard to see because its so faint. LOVING IT! Other then that no other side effects. Weight is the same and I've always been a little moody so that's never changed. So to anyone who may have been freaking out about bleeding I hope this helps you."


"Works great for symptoms, BUT causes sinus problems, including drainage and stuffiness."


"Never ever try Botox again! The first 3 wks I couldn't hold my head up., my arms were weak., vision blurry, sore throat, droopy right eye. Very depressing to totally be incompasitated! It was a big deal to get thru a shower and dress myself! Never again! Now at three weeks out, I'm light headed, still having hard time keeping my head up. Have started back to headaches for past week. They seem different in the sense I haven't had a visual aura., but the top of my head feels likes it going to pop off. The pain in my temple is the same. I've wasted an entire month! Been house bound!"


"I have suffering with mental illness for sometime now. Been on quite a few meds and nothing seemed to help with my depression. My doc put me on Lamictal starting at 25 mg now up to 100 mg for about 2 months now. This medication has really changed my life for the better! The depression is sooo much less and able to function. I would recommend this drug."


"Having severe anxiety all my life, on and off many different meds, hydroxyzine has been a life saver!!! Only taking it for a month now and I can tell such a huge difference! My anxiety use to rule my life and now I feel like im human again. It takes effect fast with no side effects!! A true miracle drug!!"


"I started this pill to help the pain that followed my most recent mass removal on my right ovary.
While I can't say too many great things, this was the fourth pill I've tried in the past five years. And I gained the least amount of weight from it than any of the others.
However, I started this pill four weeks ago and I have had nonstop heavy bleeding ever since. I have terrible cramps, back aches, migraines, nausea, and dizziness. I'm way more emotional. And I'm constantly exhausted but can never sleep.
I would not recommend to the people I know."


"I initially got the IUD because it contained no hormones and seemed like a liberating birth control option. I wanted to love it so bad that I allowed myself to bleed for seven months EVERY SINGLE DAY before I decided it was time to beg a doctor to get it out of me. The insertion is not as bad as everyone says, slightly painful but quick! Despite the insertion being manageable, the terrible pain that I endured for hours after insertion made me fear for my life. I had the worst cramps of my life, I felt like I was going to pass out from pain and seriously contemplated going to the emergency room. Long story short, nine months later an ultrasound revealed that the IUD had migrated south...that explained the pain! I wouldn't recommend it."


"Just didn't work."


"I was given this medicine for a nasty cough I couldn't get rid of caused by a bacterial infection plus I had a enlarged tonsil. It helped with the swelling but the side effects were something else. It does the job but I definitely could of did without the diarrhea and yeast infection."


"Mania and depression are basically non-existent while taking this medicine. It does make you a little sleepy, but other than that, I've experienced no serious side-effects. You may find that your sex drive goes down a notch at first while taking it. That went away after my body and mind got used to the medicine.

I have better concentration and self-value on this drug. I also no longer freak out and leave busy rooms full of people. I can actually deal with social situations without people thinking that I'm a freaking lunatic.

I love this drug. It's changed my life around."


"I have been diagnosed with severe chronic pain due to herniated disc which causes sciatica.   I have tried everything over the counter... NOTHING WORKS.  Yet, one Vicodin and the pain finally went away.   Unfortunately only temporary."


"Since starting on Nuvigil, I have yet to take my afternoon nap. I take Nuvigil each afternoon around 12:30 which will last until 9 pm, right when I'm about to hit the bed. Works like a magic. But I still need something to give me extra boost. However, I feel 90% recovery. It also helps with concentration but not much. Does make you feel good."


"27 y/o F, full-time musician, been a heavy drinker for 7 years. At first it was all for fun, then it became a necessity to escape myself. My primary drink choice was wine. 2 bottles a day on average. Today is my 9th day sober! I have a sponsor and am working the 12-step program in conjunction with Naltrexone. So far, this drug has been AMAZING. It does make me tired, so I take it at night before bed. The few times a craving has come forward, it has been quick and easy to push aside.

Alcohol is the answer, not the problem, therefore, I believe if you don't work at the root of your problem, this drug will be nothing more than a temporary crutch. Best of luck to you all in your recovery! We can do this!"


"I have been taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for some time now and the only problem I had is during the first month of using this pill, I had "spotting". It was annoying but went away after the first month. The length of my period remained the same but I no longer have severe cramps like I did before taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. I recommend this birth control pill to all my friends and family and they too are satisfied."


"Synthroid did not help: zero improvement on quality of life and bad side effects. Have been through all possible medications, none helped, same story as Synthroid. Am now on Armour, 3 grains. Doesn't help at all, and gives me side effects: weight gain, hair loss, difficulty sleeping, hyperpigmentation, no patella reflex, brain fog, extreme fatigue, etc. In fact I feel better, and most of the signs/symptoms are lessened, if I take *nothing* even though my TSH is 90 and my T4 and T3 are undetectable (ie, no T3 nor T4 in my body). I overwhelmingly prefer taking nothing as that gives me the best quality of life (albeit a pretty poor quality of life). I take medication, Armour, (and suffer), only because my doctors insist that I take medication."


"I used to take it at bedtime, but was getting nauseated.  I switched to taking it with dinner and the nausea has subsided quite a bit. I've gained weight according to the scale, but that's due to constipation the last couple of weeks.  My stomach is sticking out more, but I've actually lost a couple inches everywhere else since being on the meds.  Constipation was already an issue for me, so I don't blame the meds for it.  Overall, it's been great. I'm not angry all the time anymore, no more yelling or crying, no binge eating, etc.  I'm a lot happier and more motivated to do anything and everything."


"Hi just thought I would share my experience with you all,I too have searched the Internet for reviews on sertraline and was so nervous about taking it...I've tried 2 times and failed but 3rd time lucky! Been on them 1 week started taken mine right before bed in the hope of sleeping through most of the side affects! Which has worked :) feeling lots better in myself my anxiety has been pushed at bay more than before, I know I've got a long way yet till this fully works but so far so good! Don't be worried about giving sertraline a go I know how scary it feels to have to take medicine that your unsure of but it's worth a try I'm on 25mg as 50mg was to strong...wish me luck and hopefully this will help you in deciding the best route :)"


"Stoped the pain of trigeminal neuralgia. Side effects like unsteadyness, fingers twitching, sore joints, seeing aura's, reading difficulties, speaking difficulties."


"I've been taking Effexor for approximately 3 months now. Previously I was on Cipralex for depression and anxiety. I have been feeling very tired and hungry all the time! I've gained 10lbs since starting Effexor! I don't feel like it's working for me, as my anxiety is still out of control. But everyone's different."


"This was given to me for a killer middle ear infection... have a terrible time sleeping,anxious and my knees hurt like I'm 100 years old ( I'm 35! ). Thank God, only 4 days left!

But definitely helped with the ear infection.

"


"I've been on this for almost a month now. I'm exhausted all the time and whether I take it with food or not I get sick. I am supposed to take 2 pills a day. I take the morning one about an hour after my workout and the night time one right before bed. I've noticed I'm not nauseated when I wake up. My period is due in 3 days so we'll see if I get it. No weight loss yet."


"Zelnorm was the first medicine in my life to work effectively since I was a teenager (I'm 68 now).  It was so disappointing when it was pulled off the market.  Nothing has helped me since."


"I've been on Bactrim for about 4 years now. Once per day. When I stop taking it my acne flares up. Hopefully it's not something I have to take for the rest of my life, by it definitely works when used!"


"My experience was fine, no side effects but I did end up getting pregnant.

Took the pill within the first 12 hrs, just a heads up it can definitely happen."


"The medication did it's job - I definitely had shorter, lighter periods. But, toward month 4/5, they actually started to disappear. Some may see this as a pro, but I personally had anxiety by it.

There was no real effect on my skin good or bad, and I had some lower body weight gain (hips/butt/thighs), but pretty minimal.

My gripe with this med is the effect it had an my mood. I had some weepiness when first starting, but dismissed it. Similar to other reviews, around month 5, I became easily anxious at everything, & while I'd noticed a lack of energy thru out my use, I was starting to feel depressed. I suspected it might be the cause & quit  - it's crazy how much more energy I have and more myself I feel now."


"I was on Loestrin for about 6 months. Pros were that it made me go from having a 7 day moderate period to a 3 day lighter period. I also had more energy on it to work out. It worked too, for I did not get pregnant while taking it. Cons were that I gained fat only in my stomach and my bum, which was weird. It was water weight because I lost it within a month when I got off it. Also it did not help with my crazy PMS mood swings.
"


"I have been prescribed gabapentin medreich only last week.  Due to having a lot of problems with tingling sensation in right foot which got so bad was unable to sleep since having spinal fusion back in March but I have to many problems since my op to many to list. However since taking these tablets 200mg 3x a day I have no energy, sleeping all the time and I have since developed pins n needles on right side of face which that had me worried as never had this before. I'm just wonderring if anyone else has had this"


"My doctor prescribed spironolactone 50mg with aczone and I am so happy! Its been almost a month and my skin is so smooth! I had cystic acne around my cheeks, jaw line and chin area. My skin is very very oily with big pores but now its all cleared up, my pores are extremely smaller and less oil...I'm a happy camper."


"Works very well to stop cravings for alcohol.  After about 6 months it made me extremely depressed - too depressed to keep taking it even though it was keeping me from drinking.  Disappointing, hence the 5 stars.  However, just 1 star for me personally because of the depression caused."


"A friend and i had a mishap with a condom : i checked ovulation calendars (even though they aren't reliable information)they indicated i was in the fw..past ovulation. Maybe. We bought plan b, and i took it 8pm the day after.  All the symptoms began the following day. Nausea,  with waves of panic after reading it might not be effective on women over bmi, which i found news those studies are not conclusive. No proof.  More freaking out because of timing. I may of already ovulated. Well, my period was on time but did not have usual symptoms. I had pregnancy symptoms as  pms and  plan b like to mimic. He flaked out prior to so I'm glad. Im 38, bmi is high, i already ovulated am sure and time frame was 24hrs later after deed.  It worked for me."


"I took Zyban for about 2 months back in 1999. I had smoked for about 25 years before that and had tried to quit with no success.  I was sceptical about Zyban because I was a hard core smoker, and was only half motivated to quit. Nothing changed for the first two weeks or so, then I thought I would limit myself to 3 per hou, next week the limit was one per half hour, then one per hour.Now I was about 5 or 6 weeks in.  I stayed on Zyban, and would take a few smokes with me to work.  One day on my way to work I was having a smoke and thinking about it and realized the only reason I was smoking now is because I was bringing them with me.  I butted it out, and never looked back. I can be around smokers and not be tempted by it now too."


"I'm on my second Mirena, I got my first one at 17, and just got my second one two weeks ago. I am having at little more cramping with this one that I didn't experience with the first one. I had a wonderful doctor who gave me the medication that helps dilate your cervix if you haven't given birth. I love the Mirena I recommend it to anyone! I highly recommend taking Tylenol before hand."


"Positives:
1. Regulates my period VERY well.  Always happens the middle of the last week of the pack until the end of the pack (about 4 days).
2. Lighter periods.
3. Not pregnant.

Negatives:
1. REALLY nauseous the day after taking the first pill in every pack.  Like, super duper nauseous for about the first 8 hours of the day.  Feels horrible.
2. Constant yeast infections.  I have had 4 in the past 4 months, because of the estrogen in this BC.  Might happen on any Estrogen BC, but be aware.
3. Debilitating calf cramps at night.  Super painful and last about 5 minutes, they wake me up every time.
4. Jumping at every little noise.

Been on this for 4 months, appointment tomorrow with gyno to switch"


"I have only been on this for a few weeks after switching from Lo loestrin. So far no mood changes which has been great because that was one of my biggest issues! No cramping or abnormal bleeding. So far I am extremely pleased with Ortho Cyclen."


"When I used the monistat 1 day or night maximum strength for a self diagnosed yeast infection I did experience burning about an hour after using it & I must say it was horrible. But I just delt with it, I went to sleep & the next morning the swelling & pain was gone. I had a minor burning feeling but it went away the next day & now I'm perfectly fine. I recommend it. You're gonna go through a little pain but you get better."


"I was diagnosed with PTSD,GAD and MD .My life was falling apart.I had dark thought ,wasn't cleaning my house , completely let myself go , No patience with my kids and a negative outlook on life .my anxiety was So bad I was taking Xanax to cope . lexapro has been a life saver for me 6 weeks later I'm back to my " normal self " I'm very productive , positive , I take care of my house , myself ... it will not make you happy or " high " but make life so much more enjoyable and easier . I'm at 20 mg of lexapro a day ! And I thank god for it ... I'm 10 lbs down . SSRI work different for everyone but if 2 month ago told me my life would change for the better I would have never believed it ! Give it a try ! We are all SURVIVORS! Good luck !"


"My experience was eye opening for me. I had sex with this guy around the time I was ovulating and the condom broke, he finished in me. I took the pill 14 hours later and thought I'd be pregnant either ways. After about 4 days I started experiencing dizziness, abnormal bleeding, and nausea. I love to eat so I knew that something was wrong. I was beyond moody and I felt extremely distracted from everything. I was positive I was pregnant. Thankfully I got my period 2 days early and even though I have severe cramps it's all worth it!!"


"Oh my goodness..never in my life have I felt so miserable from a birth control pill. The side effects were so extreme they made everyday tasks almost unmanageable. The nausea, fatigue, and dizziness every single day really took a toll on me physically and emotionally. I would even get a tingling sensation in my hand and my legs would feel extremely heavy which caused major anxiety. I didn’t continue this pill any longer. I was so scared of what it may have caused next. Mini pill here I come..."


"I'm over 65 male, in my youth I suffered several head injuries some of these were diagnosed as concussion. I was involved in a motor accident in 2000 with a severe head injury. Soon thereafter I started to have auras followed by migraines. In 2010 I started having mycolonic jerks that would awaken me at 3/4 times at night. In 2013 the jerks became so severe I visited a neurosurgeon, after scans etc I was diagnosed with Partial Epilepsy. In march 2014 I had a seizure in my sleep. Taken to hospital and put on Keppra by the neurosurgeon.I take 750mg at night and 500 in the morning. Auras and migraines have decreased,but my mood swings have been getting worse,changed personality, overreaction,I feel like I'm bipolar its affecting my marriage."


"I have been on lovastatin for many years. I started with Mevacor and then tried later statins, but seemed to experience minor muscle aches from the newer ones and I requested to stay on lovastatin. "


"THIS IS THE WORST PILL EVER. This pill does way more harm than good. I started this pill over a year ago and the first couple of months were totally fine. I freaking loved the thing. Around the 6 month mark, I started getting my periods more frequently. After I would have sex, I would get a pretty heavy period that lasted 5 days. After about 3 months of this, I went to my obgyn. She said I was perfectly fine. Everything seemed to be fine after that. Now here we are present day and the same issue is back. I had to go have an endometrial biopsy because of it. I have also had weight gain, hair loss, and I am way more moody. I am switching to an IUD because this pill is absolute trash. If they tell you to get on it, don't."


"100 mg every night combined with 200 mg Lamictal and 160 mg of Geodon relaxes me and helps me sleep."


"I've been on Nexplanon since August 2, 2012. I got it inserted the first day of my period. The insertion was easy and not as painful as I thought. I didn't bruise or anything just swelled up. I had my normal period after getting it inserted then was period free for about 2 months.  Then I spotted for about 2 1/2 months. It would be random. Sometimes it would be all day spotting or just a few hours. But since then I haven't had anything really just maybe one day a month of spotting. I did have some acne problems in the beginning but that cleared up quickly. As for cramps, that's the main reason I was interested in this because I'm one of the ones that has horrible cramps and this took it all away. Yet, everyone is different!"


"I got Mirena as a birth control solution and a solution to my very heavy, 8 day - 10 days painful periods. I wasn't suggested it by a doctor I pretty much came to the decision myself. I had been on the pill, which didn't affect me negatively at all (still got very heavy periods though), before that I was in the Depo shot, which made me bleed non-stop for three months. So I was very skeptical about Mirena.

I've lost my periods all together, and I've noticed that when "I'm supposed to be on my period" I don't have any type of discharge or anything of the sort. What I DO notice is when I have a very stressful situation I get discharge for 24 hours, brown-ish discharge.

No pain, no weight gain, brilliantly perfect!"


"My mum has leukemia. This medicine helped her when she wasn't eating."


"I'm five days in and had to stop taking Otezla due to the horrible side effect from this drug. I'm having every side effects you could think of. Nausea, diarrhea, headache, vomiting, pain in my upper stomach so bad it was unbearable and chest pains. I haven't spoke to my  rheumatologist yet but I choose on my own to stop taking this drug. Nothing helped for pain and I couldn't keep any good or liquids down. Joint pain as well as back pains started getting worse."


"Well, just finished going through the first portion of the Suprep.  I must say, it was very difficult to drink.  The taste is awful. I had to put a cup with Gatorate next to the cup with the preparation, so I could drink a sip between each time that I took a drink of the Suprep.  But it really has worked.  I was terrorized with fear, but I haven't had any cramping or stomach ache at all, no nausea, no headache, and except for the terrible taste, the experience hasn't been bad at all.  This is my first time getting ready for a colonoscopy, and I was glad I found this site before I started, it eased all of my fears by reading all the other comments.  Thank you for having this site up.  It helped me a lot.  Hope I am able to help someone else."


"Girlfriend took this pill after an accident as we practice extremely safe sex... She took the pill 10 hours after the incident on June 8th, her last period was around May 14th. It is now June 23rd and she got her period! Obviously it is pretty late but that is a side effect from the pill. Around 3 days after she was complaining of cramping which is what I have come to understand was the pill working. So after 2 stress filled weeks of waiting everything is fine! This pill will definitely mess with your cycle but it does the job and I am so thankful for it."


"My cardiologist put me on Lasix over a month ago due to edema of the legs and ankles. My rate of urination was about every 45 minutes nowhere as bad as some of the reviewers. I refilled my prescription and noticed an immediate change. Instead of every 45 minutes, it changed to every hour and a half. The only difference is the manufacturer.  The Lasix made by Sandoz seems to work fine. "


"I started showing some signs of a YI on Monday, the 6th grabbed a Monistat 1, as I have done a few times before and thought nothing of it. I ran out to see a friend and came back in I rushed to the bathroom due to a burning sensation and knew something was wrong when all the medication was in my shorts. Went to my PCP on Thursday and she didn’t do an exam, just prescribed an antibiotic. After two more days of complete discomfort, primarily when I urinated it felt like death. I was in tears just about every time I went. Went to the ER where they diagnosed me with Herpes, this couldn’t be true because neither my husband or 1 have been with other people in our 5 year relationship. Got tested all negative results. Never will I use this again!"


"Highly addictive, caused Severe panic attacks, when tried to go off. Got this reaction after only 2 days, of 1-2, for sleep.

     Very dangerous drug. Helps you sleep, but  nearly impossible to stop! Most need rehab., was one of the meds., Heath Ledger had, in his system. Tammy Faye took up to 25-30 a day!

     Stay away from this drug!!?"


"I've dealt with IBS for years. Recently diagnosed  approx 7 months ago. It was debilitating, every morning waking up with a stomach ache. Always misdiagnosed and given other antidepressants. Finally after seeing a Gastroenterologist, my lifesaver prescribed me Nortriptyline at a low dose of 10mg at night I woke up 2 days later pain free! I gave him a huge hug! I'm now on 20 mg. only downside is sleeping issues. But hey, I can deal with that!"


"After I gained 60 lbs in a 3 month period approximately 8 years ago, it was determined that I had Hypothyroidism. I was given Synthroid which stopped the weight gain, however, I have never felt quite right even though my TSH and T3/T4 would to be normal. My hands and feet were always cold, my eyebrows were very thin, always tired, etc, etc. I started taking Armour Thyroid about 4 months ago and feel terrific. I have even started losing weight (15 lbs so far). I am worried that I have been having problems trying to fill my prescription lately. Please tell me that they are not going to discontinue Armour Thyroid?? I am getting several different explanations as to why it is not readily available."


"It's my first month on the apri pills. I haven't experienced any spotting or acne. I haven't experienced any mood changes amd i still weigh about the same. One day I had a bit of nausea it didn't last long. Over all experience is quite pleasant.

I suffer from pms in the middle of my cycle and my periods are very irregular... since being on apri I haven't experienced any pms symptoms  (bloating, cramping, mood swings and headaches in between my cycle). Period is getting back in a regular cycle... so far so good."


"This medicine is awful, first night, awful taste in mouth, couldn't get to sleep and woke up with a racing heart.  Day 4 woke up at 1 in the morning, extreme anxiety, pounding heart, sweats, shaking, couldn't think straight.   GP has told me to stop taking it and it should be out of my system in 27 hours."


"Remicade has worked extremely well for me,it has given me my life back.It truly has been my miracle drug."


"Psychiatrist put me on Brintellix about 7 weeks ago. 10mg for the first 3 weeks - which had no effect on my depression, but I didn't notice any side effects like I had with Pristiq, Lexapro, Lovan & Alprazolam. The dosage was upped to 20mg for the next 4 weeks. Still feel terrible, haven't noticed any shift in the depression but I've noticed I feel a bit more edgy and anxious. Not sure how long I'm meant to wait to notice a change but I'm not convinced that this drug is working for me. It's also not covered by medicare in Australia, so quite expensive!"


"This medication (or birth control) was so awful for me I couldn't wait to get it out of my body. I endured a full year of it. Ironically, it made me so crazy I wouldn't have needed birth control to begin with if I was under normal circumstances. Most reviews I have read from other people are positive, but I don't see many of the negative accounts like I have heard from other women who have taken it. BEWARE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH  and don't think "it's just you" if you have side effects like SEVERE mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc. This medication is/was a nightmare."


"Worked really well for irritable bowel syndrome, but unfortunately it affected my blood pressure."


"I had a sever allergic reaction to flagal and never knew their was any other medicine to take for BV but so glad there is!! The flagal tasted awful and the taste stayed in your mouth forever but the Clindamycin worked great, symptoms was gone after day 2 and I felt so much better!!! This is the best thing to take for BV, I had to problems what so ever with this medicine."


"I took this pill for 5 months before deciding to get off of it a week ago. For birth control and unwanted pregnancy it definitely does the job. The first couple of weeks I felt nauseous almost everyday and just all around sick. One time I felt so overwhelmed and burst into tears at work for no real reason. After week 3 those feelings went away and I didn't have those problems anymore. However, I feel as if it suppressed my metabolism and I gained about 15 pounds. And tired. All I wanted to do was sleep all day, and if I let myself I slept for hours. The biggest issue I had though, is my sex drive went completely away. I didn't care if I had sex or not which created a big problem with my boyfriend."


"I use Wellbutrin XL and it helps my bipolar disorder and adult ADD!! It gives me

better focus, eases anxiety, keeps me from becoming enraged for no reason and helps me from getting depressed! I no longer scream at my family (very important) and I don't sit and cry for no reason anymore! This is a miracle medicine for me."


"I have IBS-D so when I get constipated it's a serious deal for me. So I go to the store and grab this off the shelf. I take 2 tabs around 2:30pm. I work the night shift so I layed down for a nap. I get woken up at 7pm with these strong stomach cramps. I go to the bathroom and it's just a little gas but I don't move. Next thing I know it's like the next flood is happening. It's only 8:40pm and I've had 3 bouts of diarrhea and I'm nauseous.  Much worse than my IBS. There was nothing sensitive about this medication. Will definitely not use this again."


"I had been constipated for days due to my medications. I took 2 pills and was able to move a bowel with no pain."


"I've been taken for 2 years for excessive day time sleepiness and suspected narcolepsy. It's changed my life, I'm a single mom, in full time uni, working two jobs, my days are long and exhausting but I'm reaching heights unimaginable before. Just a few weeks from my 2nd degree!! I've experienced few effects, it's hard on my stomach, curbs appetite & sometimes jittery & Babbling. Also having considerably more migraines, but my lifestyle is hectic and I'm sure it doesn't help. Positives far outweigh...thanks to provigil I now have a normal life, with a steady awakeness &  I'm alert with insane durations of concentration. I'm so grateful, I'm scoring it 10/10, something I rarely do! Also, I'm lucky to get it for free on Irish medical card system"


"I have struggled with panic disorder off and on for 11 years. I was previously on Lexapro but built up a tolerance after 4 months so I switched to Zoloft. After week four I am FINALLY getting some relief from the anxiety. Started on 12.5mg due to sensitivity to SSRI'S. The reason Zoloft does not get a 10 is because of terrible side effects: increase in depression and anxiety, nervousness, de-realization and insomnia. I could care less about my sex drive right now. Word to the wise: BE PATIENT, IT WILL GET BETTER."


"I took Zyprexa for 14 years, and it stabilized my psychotic, auditory hallucinations of my bipolar I disorder. I was able to function in normal, social settings (church, friends, family, marriage and dating, even work) without having to deal with the voices I heard in my head when I was not on the medication. Unfortunately for me, the drug outlived it's usefulness, in my body's system ,right at the 14 year mark. I say "unfortunate" because I became so used to the drug's effectiveness, that I thought it would last me for the rest of my life, but as I look back, now, I'm happy to have had the time I did on Zyprexa. The side effects for me were minimal, and I am now stabilized on other meds. Zyprexa also worked well Depakote."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"This is by far the best headache medication I've ever used.  I've tried Fioricet and Imitrex and neither worked well.  Fioricet made me feel as if I were high and the Imitrex made me itch all over and my heart race.  The only thing with Midrin is that it needs to be taken as soon as you feel a headache coming on or it won't work well once your headache is full blown."


"My throat was so sore I couldn't sleep. After 3 weeks of little sleep and swollen tonsils I finally asked the doc for something, she prescribed me prednisone. Couldn't believe it, by that night I was sleeping with no itchyness at all!!! What a miracle drug."


"I tired Aleve. It works to some extent for a few hours but it stops. I get better and longer lasting results with Advil liqui-gels for arthritis."


"After trying the most of medication for my depression/ mixed state, seroquel finally worked out. Made racing thougts go away and my mood is finally back to normal again. Feel happy and relaxed. I also take 150 mg venlafaxine. Best medicine i ever tryed is seroquel. No weigh gain for me. This medicine is a lifesaver for me."


"Very mild pain relief. Can't believe it's a Class 3 medicine. The relief is not the same as other pain relievers. Sometimes it does nothing to relieve pain. However, each person reacts differently to pain relievers. It seems I have a high tolerance level."


"I've tried a few triptans but this is the first one I've tolerated.  In general, it is effective within an hour.  However, in the rare case my migraine is preceded by an aura, it seems less effective.  That said, since I can't tolerate other triptans due to side effects, I like this one best.  (My insurance company doesn't like it and I needed to obtain prior authorization, always a headache!) Use the coupon for the copay if you can."


"Love this medicine. Have been on it a little over 2 mos and have lost 16 lbs.  I have not had any bad side effects and I take 2 in morning and 1 afternoon. I can still eat on Contrave, I just fill up faster so I'm eating less.  It has helped me to eat smaller portions.  When I first started taking 2 in the morning it made my stomach a little queasy but that subsides quickly. I plan to continue taking it!  I also like the messages I receive every morning when I weigh myself, it encourages and motivates me.  The weight loss and better eating habits have rubbed off on my family and they are eating better and less."


"This drug killed my thyroid.  You should also be screened heavily for certain blood illnesses before taking and monitor your liver and kidneys.  A VERY poisonous drug."


"I get a very bad sinus infection every year. This year as soon I as I felt in coming on (day 4) thats early for me, I went to an urgent care. Doctor confirmed it was a sinus infection and have me the Z Pack. First day is 2 pills with 1 pill for next 4 days. After 12 hours of taking first 2 pills I felt so much better.  I will continue to take the remaining pills and from now on I will get to a doctor  early on and request Z Pack. I highly recommend it."


"I have been taking Junel over 2 years now to help regulate my PMS and periods.  I only do a seasonal period 4 times a year. It has really helped with me cramps and mood swings. I did gain some weight though...
My doctors are taking me off of it now. They want to see if the Junel is causing my high blood pressure or not. If it isn't the culprit I will be going right back on that pill. It worked for me."


"I was sick for a full 7 days and could not eat or drink.  A few sips of water resulted in cramping, nausea and vomiting.  Finally on the 8th day went to the doctors.. All it was was Nerves. Dr gave me me dicyclomine and Ondansetron HCL.  IT worked. My cramping, nausea & vomiting went away.

When it was happening, I could not think what it could be other than nerves & that's exactly what the dr said it was.  Surprised me as that had never happened before with those symptoms.  I lost 20 lbs in those 7 days.  I am SO glad I was prescribed the medication--going 7 days of being in bad in the fetal position w/the cramps & nausea & vomiting just sips of water was terrible.  I felt NO side effects whatsoever."


"This is the only medcine I am allergic to.  Extreme itching!  I couldn't stop taking it too fast.  Luckily,  it doesn't have a very long half life."


"I have been taking Geodon for about 10 months now and unfortunately it has given me erectile dysfunction. I started to reduce the dosage in order to stop but not taking it affects my mood tremendously. Without it I feel hopeless, I cry a lot and it is difficult for me to get out of bed. However, I can't risk it affecting my sexual well-being (I sincerely hope it's not too late!) So I guess Geodon did not help me and my bipolar disorder."


"Been taking it for just 1 month, I had to change my other birth control because of mood swings and acne. Monosessa is better but still not perfect. My acne got better and my mood swings are better but I'm always hungry now and weirdly enough I smell differently and I sweat more than usual. But I mean that's better than the other birth control."


"This absolutely, positively does not work. Stick with Zyrtec D or Benadryl if you don't want to shove out the money for Zyrtec."


"Lamictal has really helped with my bi polar depression. I was on Latuda too but I gained weight on it and it killed my sex drive. Currently I am being tapered off of Latuda and I've started taking lithium. I feel happy and stable."


"I was prescribed Tramadol for  slipped disc pain. It did not help one  bit. BUT-I noticed immediately how energised it made me feel. I have been suffering from decreased amounts of energy for years, to the point where I sometimes did not even have energy to breathe.
Tramadol has changed my life. I take 50mg a day and have never needed to increase the dose. 50mg still does the job, after 4 years. It gives me 4-6 h to complete the most neccessary tasks.
Yes, it is addictive and the daily dose is missed, the suffering is pretty intense. But so what? life wouldn't be possible without Tramadol anyway. I am greatful for the slipped disc for giving me Tramadol. Pain is NOTHING compared to debiliating fatigue."


"Went to the ER twice with a severe migraine, both times given Compazine. It definitely helps with relieving the pain but the side effects out weigh it for me. Felt like my skin was crawling, restlessness, skin rash, dry mouth, anxiety (triggered a panic attack both times), brought up a lot of bad thoughts of how I was dying. Long term, rebound headache, insomnia, loss of appetite. Also had it with Benadryl once and that scared me."


"I'm In my 20s, no kids, HIGH pain threshold. Got IUD late 2015. Before IUD, never had cramps. Insertion was not fun but nothing to cry about. Since insertion, all my periods have been heavier and more painful: a few have been terrible, even cause stomach pain. But all were manageable. Today I went to a gyno b/c my past 2 periods were EXCRUCIATING, barely tolerable w/ naproxen. Felt like I was giving birth. Was told everything looks normal but it is probably my IUD causing the pain. I hate hormones and love the cheap/worry-free 10yr IUD, so I'm going to wait it out and see if my next cycles calm down. Pain sucks but hormones and kids are worse."


"Seems to work well with not as many side effects as others narcotics"


"I wanted to write a review because I was researching this pill for my GWS class and I noticed a lot of people new to the pill experiencing problems. I have been on this pill for 5 years and while I didn't experience any terrible side effects in the beginning (that I recall) this pill has helped me a lot in 5 years. I originally took it to cure my severe acne but it also helped with my severe cramps and heavy bleeding. Now five years later my skin is the clearest it has ever been, I haven't had a legit cramp in probably two years, and my periods only last about 4 days with minimal bleeding. All in all I would highly recommend this pill."


"I suffer from GAD and I have to say this medication has changed my life.. I am much happier and handle situations better. I only take 37.5 one per day usually in the morning and that works for me. The only side effects was insomnia In the beginning but now I feel calm and relaxed and I have great nights sleep. I wake up energized and wanting to start my day. This medication with therapy has done wonders. Ignore the negative and try for yourself . Reading reviews I was so scared to start this medication but I thank God I gave it a try."


"For years I refused medication for my depression and anxiety disorder. I had tried a few in the past (Lexapro, Effexor etc) but they hadn't helped or caused me to gain weight. After having my baby my anxiety and depression became so bad I couldn't leave the house. I met another lady who suggested this medication. I was really hesitant but I had to try something for my babies sake. This medication has really changed my life. I am

A different person completely. I feel strong and don't remember the last time I cried (I use to be a daily cryer!). I am still anxious sometimes but life doesn't seem so hard anymore. Everyone that knows me has noticed the difference in me. It took about three days to get use to it, but it's been great since."


"WARNING!!! I was hospitalized after taking just two days out of the 5 prescribed of macrobid (nitrofunatol). I went to urgent care for a UTI and after the 5th dose. I began to not be able to catch my breath and my body felt tingly and feet felt bruised. I stopped taking the medication and about a day later, I could barely breathe, my entire back seized up into the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my entire life. I could not move my head without a migraine-like headache pulsating in my ears and top of my head. 5 days later I am still virtually bedridden, vomiting, no appetite, my body feels like a giant bruise and my skin tingles and hurts to touch even with clothing. Tread carefully around this stuff, it's not worth the pain AT ALL"


"I have been taking two months now lexapro 10 mg and it helped with the insomnia I had due to anxiety.I was taking ambien for two years, but now with lexapro I didn't need ambien anymore to sleep."


"I've been taking Nora-Be for about 2 months and have now been experiencing a longer period cycle. Before the pill my cycle lasted 5 days now on the pill my cycle last 8 days and now starts every 21 days as it used to start every 24 days. Other then the bleeding more, I've had no other symptoms."


"Ambien is a great sleep aid. I used to take the 10mg dose and did great. I was able to fall asleep fast and stay asleep through the night. There are some side effects to this medication though. For example: The first time I took Ambien I had no side effects. I slept soundly through the night, no problems at all. After a few nights of taking it though I started to wake up in the morning and see that my furniture had been moved around or that my fridge door was open. I could not figure out what had happened until I asked my doctor. Supposedly when taking any hypnotic, it can cause you to sleep walk, or do things in your sleep that when you wake up you have no memory of ever doing. Overall though, it does what it's supposed to do."


"Everyone's toenails grow at different rates.  To say that they grow slowly and that evidence of the treatment taking a year to notice is simply NOT TRUE.

I have taken generic Lamasil for 3 weeks now and the thickness under the nail bed in all 5 of my toes is almost completely gone AND you can see where new, healthy nail is growing in. I am fully committed to the treatment course, so just because things look better so quickly does not mean the fungus is completely gone.

I just wanted to give hope to someone out there who may be discouraged by some of these testimonies. Everyone's case is different but there is still the possibility your body will respond well and rather quickly to the oral treatment!"


"I've  had sleep disruption for many years. I took Ambien for years, now Lunesta. Gradually reduced from 3 mg to 0 mg, with zero problems.  My mind was clearer. With new severe stress & sleep disruptions again, recently went back on Lunesta. Started with 1 mg, then 2 then 3. Trouble is, now still waking up after about 4 hours, then waking and sleeping throughout the next 4 hours. I also use Belleruth Naperstacks "Sleep"  guided imagery CD to fall asleep and her "General Wellness" $ "Stress and Anxiety" in early morning or Jon Kabat Zinn's "Body Scan" during those 4 hours when my sleep is intermittent. I'm finding that I am sleepy and tired when I get out of bed now at 3 mg & feel overly medicated, yet it isn't working well after 4 hours."


"I have chronic back pain from degenerative disc disease. I have disc herniations from L-2, L-3 down to L-5, S-1; along with spinal stenosis-different moderations depending on the disc and spinal arthritis. To answer someone's question about how many OxyContin 80 ER pills can be prescribed per day. Legally, the answer is 4- 2 in the morning and 2 at night-which is what I receive; at one time they made 160mg OxyContin but they are no longer produced in the US.  To whomever said they were prescribed 8 of them a day- illegal or not from the US. It is an extended release medication meant to last 12 hours. I will be the first to say when they switched to the new for Formula, I didn't feel as though they were as effective and went from 2-4."


"Hi, everyone well I'm 28 years old I been struggling with acne for year's( wish I was able to post a picture) I literally try everything until, I started using tretinoin I right away in like 3wks I  notice the improvement my skin is really oily and even in that it has help a lot I don't break out how I used to... So give it a try and used it as directed! Good Luck!"


"Hi I started saxenda on July 27,2016. In those 5 weeks I lost 13lbs. Starting weight was 229.  My common side effect is nausea and a little constipation. I would recommend this drug for anyone that trying to eat healthy, exercise and lose weight to get back on track. I was on dosage 3.0 for a week and had to drop back down to 2.4 because I was so nauseated. It does decrease your appetite but you still need to eat and make sure you drink plenty of water.  I don't like the fact when you injected the medicine in your upper thigh is leaves a bruise, never have a mark on my stomach. Good luck"


"I am so extremely disappointed. I had such high hopes because I have this somewhat irrational fear of IUDs fusing with my uterus, which in addition to my inability to remember to take the pill on time, made the nexplanon seem perfect for me. But these past three years have been horrible! I only left it in so long hoping things would even out, plus its convenient and let's be honest, kind of cool. But the biggest effect I experienced was the complete decline of my libido. It completely vanished and my overall energy went with it. My periods have been so ridiculously erratic, too. Sometimes I won't have it for two months and then I'll get it three times over the course of four weeks. I definitely would not recommend this."


"I have been taking Avapro for 5 years and I don't like it so am looking for another drug. My GP thinks if the side effects are bearable don't change anything. I don't like the dizziness, cold feet, dry throat and tiredness it produces. It has also depleted my potassium levels and  I wonder if the arrhythmias I have been having are related to prolonged use. "


"Very easy to use, doesn't give me morning sickness like the pill did. I don't even notice its on. Only downfall is that it falls off in the shower or pool, and I think its causing me to gain weight. It also made me very moody for the first 3 months. "


"I have been taking Suboxone for 3-1/2 years. I went from 2 8mg tabs to 1 on my own without the request of my doctor. It just felt right. Now I am down to half a tablet. I could never have done such a thing with methadone. If I tried a lower dose I would have withdrawal. It had me in a big way. Freedom is right around the corner for me and can't thank my wife and kids and Suboxone enough."


"While this med helped my ear pain and infection heal... the swollen mouth, jaw, tongue, and face were too unbearable I quit the drops after 4 days. My doc advised me there was no way my swelling came from the drops. I insisted on prednisone and then picked up zyrtec, pepcid, and benydryl
 Those meds, combined with 50 mg of prednisone I'm feeling much better. I'm allergic to penicillin. I'm wondering if my pcn allergy is related to my cipro allergy.  I'll never go back to that doctor."


"My experience on NuvaRing was a mixed bag. My first time on it was wonderful - I was CRAZY the first month on, after that it was smooth sailing. Absolutely no bad side effects. I had to discontinue due to no insurance, but when I went on it again years later I had a multitude of problems. BAD bloating around the midsection (I am otherwise a slender woman and the bloat didn't look right on me), thinning hair, dark spotting of the skin on my back and stomach, borderline severe depression and anxiety. I lost all the bloat as well as the depression and anxiety when I came off it. Unfortunately my acne came back (much to my dismay) when I stopped using it, but for me the NuvaRing was still not worth the side effects."


"After 3 months, I have seen no effects whatsoever, except for a slight increase in appetite.  I have achieved no increase in weight loss despite strict diet and work-out regimes.  No sexual desire increase.  NO confidence or focus changes.  Completely without benefit at this point in time."


"I've been on this pill since October. My reasoning for going on birth control was due to my irregular periods. I've had many side effects such as the nausea or throwing up. If I take my pill late that night & wake up for school the next morning it's a given I'll throw up. If I accidentally forget to take a pill one night and take two the next night I ALWAYS throw up. The sickness has made me have 4 absentees from school. Besides the puking, it has made my periods regular! It is so nice to know when the flow is on its way!"


"So my first seizure was when I was 13, I have tried many meds but this one seemed to work the best. BUT as the years have passed, my memory has been going a lot and it seems to be getting worse and worse. I took it upon myself to stop the medicine cold turkey (I'd  been on for 5-6 years now so its NOT recommended).. and yet I haven't had any symptoms of a seizure and my memory is starting to come back. My sister was also on it but for depression, she almost lost her eye sight because she missed 1 day of taking it. So please be careful, and do your research on each drug that you are about to go on."


"This medication did not work for my paranoia, anxiety, depression, and delusions.  In fact, it made me feel worse.  I started to believe more ridiculous things are going on around me.  I actually surprisingly lost a little weight but that could be attributed to quitting breastfeeding in the process.  I slept really well on this medicine which was helpful with the intrusive thoughts.  I had a problem going from 300mg-400mg.  The twitching became extreme....especially in my face. I became severely depressed on this medication because my intrusive thoughts started to feel more real.  The only perk to this drug was that it increased my libido. I am now starting a new medication.  I guess every person is different"


"As of today, August 30, 2011 I've been taking Adipex for exactly one week and I've lost 9 pounds. I think it works wonders aside from the cotton mouth, restlessness, and jitters. It also gives me an extra little push of energy. I love it. I'm eating healthier, drinking plenty of water and taking the stairs now instead of the elevator. I haven't even done any strenuous exercise. I love love LOVE it!"


"I have been on this medicine less than 2 years....5mg, recently changed to 2.5mg per day.  I have had no side effects, feel great.  I do have more energy most likely because my blood pressure is where it is suppose to be.  I am a female in my early 50's & this is my first experience with blood pressure meds."


"Does it work? Yeah! For everyone - NO! Let me explain. Do you have a job that you have to be alert and stay on your toes? Then you need to be careful on this because it will cause you to all the negative experiences you read about. I was on top as I call it 6 years ago and took a break from it and now have got back on it again. Why? Because I am tired of taking 6 Advil and every other over the counter drug there is everyday and wondering what is happening to my body from doing that over time and having the headaches day after day after day. So simply put you get to a point of asking yourself - do the side effects of taking it out weigh not taking it, and if you read everything the answer is an overwhelming YES! "


"Total resolution of cystic acne once on gianvi---after trying every prescription for cystic acne, this is the only treatment that has had effect!"


"Invega has gotten rid of my mania at 75 mg monthly injection. However, the side effects are much more than lithium or valproic acid and it is much worse on the body.  So I think it is really better to just take a mood stabilizer so am thinking of switching to lithium or valproic acid.  I will try to reduce to the lowest injection which is 50 mg monthly. I am using it as a monotherapy. It along with Risperdone injection are the only long-lasting injections available. So they force it on me because they don"


"First let me tell you if you go on belviq.com site and print coupon make sure you do all the steps.  You have to just call into an electronic response system, not a live person. For me that made a difference because I didn't want to talk to someone else about my weight. Anyway I'll be honest, I've had this medicine for two months and today is the first day I've taken any.  I've taken weight loss medicine before years back (of course not this kind) and it changed me in a bad way. So I finally tried this today and only had a very mild headache earlier and now it's gone. It's helped my appetite so far! I'm so glad. I just wish I would not have waited these past two months to try it!"


"The nexplanon is plain awful I'm on my third year a month from getting it taken out (I've been begging my doc to take it out for a year now and just got OK'ed) the first year of it my period was nuts either no period or month long period slight weight gain but nothing terrible second year mood swings like crazy weight gain and acne. Third year has been the worst I have no acne constant mood swing severe depression despite my life going well can't stop gaining weight (130lb before 185lb now) bloating cramps are so bad I've had to miss work I have acne on my back and face and weird hair growth. I'm growing inch long black facial hairs on my chin and I'm a blonde who used to have like no body hair. This birth control has made me suicidal at time."


"I just had my second injection on 12/2--one more on 12/9. The first injection was very painful and my knee was sore for two days. The second injection did not hurt at all and my knee was fine immediately after. This knee pain has been going on for two years and I finally have relief. I'm just hoping it lasts longer than 6-months. I would definitely advise anybody who has this problem to at least try it. It is working for me!"


"My Dr. started me on 50mg then slowly went up to 100  then 150 and now 200 mg within 3 months. I had anxiety for about 15 years and didn't realize I was that bad. My general practioner had me on Ativan and I have been on that for a good 10 years. I thought that was the end all/be all because it took away the panic for the time being - instant fix. I'm 42 years old, like to excerise, working mom with a full life and I hated having panic attacks at the mall, small spaces, etc. I really thought I would always be that way and just had to deal with it but honestly the Zoloft saved me. It makes you so positive and you don't focus on the stuff that would bring on anxiety. I wished  I would've had this long before now. Give it time.. it WILL work"


"I started taking phentermine 5 weeks ago, at 5' 10 weighing 246lbs. After having two children and not being able to lose any weight I went to my doctor after researching this medication.  He prescribed 30 mg caps to be taken daily for 30 days.  Then I just had to go and get weighed to pick up the next prescription.  He is giving it to me for only 3 months.  As of today, I have lost 22 lbs.  I had horrible but tolerable dry mouth for the first 3 weeks but now it's completely gone.  I have no other side effects.  I don't feel overly energized, like on speed or anything, just enough to get me through the day without feeling the need to nap! I also feel like I don't need 9-10 hours of sleep each night to feel rested like before."


"I'm giving this a 5/10, because at 75 mg daily, it did relieve headaches that were at 7/10 on a 10/10 pain scale. However, I had to go off it, due to a rare side effect, that my neurologist hadn't even seen, called Serotonin syndrome. It's something to watch out for. I'm on gabapentin now for neuralgia and neuropathic pain."


"I'm 24 years old and have three kids. With my last they gave me a water injection twice. The first time it didn't work. They did it a second time and I still felt no relief. A few hours after I had my son I started having major pains shooting up my back. The doctor said it would go away and it didn't. I have a lot of damaged nerves from when the gave me the water injection. I get shooting pains on a regular basis. After my doctor started giving me Vicodin my pain has gone away more than 50 percent."


"After having awful hemiplegic migraines with aura (which mimics a stroke and is really scary) on the combined pill, my OB prescribed this instead. I have not had one of these debilitating migraines since. I do notice some hair loss but it's not noticeable to anyone else but me. I rarely get breakthrough bleeding (but I never had heavy periods to begin with, just really painful). The tradeoff is so worth it. This pill has made my life so much better."


"My son was diagnosed with Tourettes and he is 10yrs old.  The medicine has helped a little with his tics but still does some.  His anger is getting worse while on this medication and has gained alot of weight in the half a year he has been on this medication. "


"I've been taking Sprintec since after my accident on June 5 2011. It messes up my cycle and made my breast feel sore everyday. I couldn't take the pill unless I already ate or was about to eat because it made me feel light headed and my legs be cramping and stomach cramps worse then normal. I've been feeling sick off and on since I've been taking it. "


"I been taking Prozac for 3 monthes I don't binge or purge anymore I only throw up when I'm sick . I was thinking about suicide but now I'm 3 month purge free. I'm confident that if I stay on it I can live the rest of my life bulimia free. Bulimia is a ghost of my past now . Peace Michael "


"Works Amazingly! Obliterated ALL my anxiety's"


"I'm a 23 yr old with severe anxiety and insomnia and my insomnia has been getting worse over the past few months. I can't remember the last time I slept through the night or fell asleep in less than three hours. Melatonin did nothing for me and Benadryl didn't do much either. I tried unisom last night. I fell asleep much faster than usual- probably took me about 30 minutes. But after 2 1/2 hrs I was awake again. I couldn't fall back to sleep. I tried looking up if I could take another 25mg (I had taken 50mg before I went to sleep) but I couldn't find anything about whether 75mgs total is too much? I'm frustrated because it put me to sleep so quickly, and I slept heavily, but it lasted so short a time that it barely made a difference."


"I had my implanon place Feb 2011.  The procedure to place it was quick and painless.  Prior to Implanon I had been on the Depo Shot.  The insertion was less painful than the shot.  I just had the implant removed 10/2013.  I noticed sever mood swings right off the bat and went straight back to my doctor to have it removed.  We discussed options and I decided to take a mood stabilizer for the times when I felt extra B*tchy!   I spotted for a few days then had then had a period once every 3 months. For the next 3 years.  I did gain about 60 pounds over 2.5 years.  Some of it was my eating and exercise habits and some of it I believe was implanon.  All and all it was a good experience, I just will not do it again."


"I thought a long term user review might be helpful. I've been on Genvoya for 3 1/2 years, I was part of one of the Gilead clinical trials. I've experienced no side effects at all, may have something to do with taking antivirals for 10 years. My kidney function has improved and CD4 count has doubled.  Keep in mind that the drugs in this combination aren't necessarily new, but the manufacturing process makes it safer on the kidneys and bone density which is why it was developed. If you can get past any initial side effects, I would recommend it. Long term use of antivirals can damage the kidneys, and this is a huge improvement. I noticed a lot of the reviewers were newly diagnosed. Exercise, eat well and take your meds. It does get better."


"I have had Stage IV Breast Cancer for 5 and one half years.  Spread to my lung.  I have been on several chemo treatments as well as hormonal treatments.  Next week I start Cycle 17  of the Eribulin  which means I have had 32 injections.  My doctor reduced the dosage earlier on as I was getting neuropathy in both hands and feet.  Overall, I find the treatment tolerable with some days of the cycle worse than others.  I am considered stable right now and there is no end in sight for getting off this drug.  I definitely have neuropathy, my hair has thinned tremendously and have bone and back pain consistently.  Did not control the pleural effusion and have had two thoracentesis.
I have shortness of breath and lots of coughing."


"New to paraguard,  love it. Never had kids,  want to eventually.

Insertion was not terrible, a pinch to measure then another pinch to insert & done. I was prescribed 3 pills to soften the lining of my uterus & I guess they worked. I took aleve before & continued through the next 2 days.

 I had my SO come with me for insertion & I'm glad I did.  I could have driven home but it was nice to be able to relax with my cramping & not worry about driving.  I'm very glad I took a half day at work!  Thermacare heat pads were my bff for the first 2 days.  I spotted on and off for 8 days but since have had regular bleeding & some cramps.
My body adjusted well to hormone free bc & not having to remember a pill is liberating!"


"I rarely post online reviews, but I recognize that most people only post reviews when they don't like something, so I wanted to sort of offset that here.

I'm in my mid-twenties and female.  I've suffered with severe anxiety and depression for several years due to trauma.  Enter Celexa.  To be fair, I went to therapy for several months before deciding to go on medication (and was feeling a bit better), but I still experienced severe anxiety that the therapy wasn't helping.  I started feeling better after the first week on Celexa, and things have only improved from there.  I've been taking it for around three months and my anxiety/depression is almost completely gone.  I've had no sexual side effects whatsoever, no weight gain, no issues."


"I am single, and am only taking this mainly for my acne issues. I stopped taking this a year ago when i was in a bad relationship and was too depressed to take the pill regularly. After stopping, I've had under the skin acne/bumps all the time, and has not gotten better. I caved in and am back on it. I just finished week 1 of my first pack. I wasn't get cystic acne previously but did get one a couple days ago. hopefully this will be the only one. When I was on this in 2015, I was very depressed and no sex drive but I was also in a bad relationship so I wont put the blame on the pill just yet. I will keep you updated with my progress, wish me luck!"


"I've done well on Testim. Energy and mood levels up. Really helps in the gym, too. Lifting weights enhances the effect, probably because lifting helps augment T. Many women love the smell. I get lots of comments about it. In fact, it's pretty funny."


"Severe allergic reaction."


"I recently started Seroquel 50 MG for depression, panic disorder, anxiety, insomnia. The first couple of days and then up to 150 MG. This medication works great. It creates anxiolytic effects similar to clonazapam and relieves all my anxiety. I Sleep well to. I can actually function thanks to this medication and it works excellently for paranoia and anxiety. I've also found it to work great for sleep. I was previously on Abilify which was very activating and gave me a lot of anxiety and I couldn't sleep more than 1-2 hours. On Seroquel I sleep a full 8 hours and I wake up refreshed and ready for the day. It controls my anxiety and works wonders. Side effects are: No sex drive, and Drowsiness. Great medicine, works great."


"I've dealt with moderate acne since I was roughly 12 years old. I've tried just about every acne treatment out there with no prevail. When I started my Retin-A (0.025) treatment 5 months ago I became really discouraged by my skins immediate discolouration, mostly red, and the flakiness it created. I came close a couple times to giving up, especially when my skin wasn't clearing up and how sore I was some days from the continuous use. But this past month has been the turn around. I feel I am finally out of the so called 'purge' and my skin is becoming clear and smooth like it has been in past for short stints. The best advice I can give any user is to have patience. It's not an overnight fix, but the long term results are worth it."


"I love Implanon. I've tried pills, which always made me sick no matter what I took or for how long. I also tried Depo...didn't like it. It made me gain 40lbs over 2 1/2 months and kept on going even after it was "out of my system". I had never been overweight until that time. I got Implanon about a year and a half ago now. No weight gain.. no mood swings.. and best of all NO PERIODS. From the day I got it my monthly gift ceased to exist. That in itself is enough to make me stick with it.  In another year and a half I will be getting another one.

"


"Glyburide works VERY well. I take it with Metformin. This combination of drugs keeps my blood sugar in control.  These drugs are life savers!"


"I read so many horrible reviews of this that I almost didn't try it. Fearing the excruciating pain described by such a majority of reviews, I tried natural remedies. I even tried the "put a clove of garlic up your hooha" method! None of the remedies worked.

This medication was a godsend. Please do not fear it. I experienced no pain with this, and it killed the infection dead within a day or two. I was amazed. Many people write about burning pain worse than childbirth, but I want to tell you that I experienced nothing like that. It was easy, painless, and, most importantly, extremely effective. Yeast infection is finallyour gone!"


"I'm surprised by the majority of people's reactions to Nuvigil (though, it's the only medication I've tried so far). Before starting up with the medication I was exhausted to the point of feeling sick most of the time. After starting the medication it's like night and day, I typically feel great. Some days are better than others, and I never feel 100%, but it's the best I've felt in years and it hasn't fluctuated in two months I've been taking it."


"I take the drug in morning when I wake up, first thing is eating, then 75mg with bottle of water, and I make sure during the day a drink plenty water because this drug affects your renal and hepatic system; every three months or according with your MD you should do routine labs.
Remember, the drug won't take effect fast, is going to be two weeks to check out how you are tolerating the dose; this first two weeks you may feel somnolence, dizziness, tired, and urge to sleep. Thats normal, but you can also feel you can't control your life, not being focused, unhappy, that also can occur in the starting period as me. The maximum effect of the drug/dose will take effect in three months. Monitor your suicidal thoughts with any anti-depression med."


"I've been on this pill for around 11 months, and for the most part I find it good. I started off using it just to regulate my period, not knowing that it would just go away after the first few months. I'm sexually active and I find that it does decrease my sex drive. It was very frightening when I stopped having my period, and I did gain weight, but I take pregnancy tests periodically (just as a precaution). I still have period symptoms at the end of the pack, but I haven't had one in 7 months. The worst thing I find about this pack is that it makes me more emotional and increases my headaches."


"I took 4 dulcolax against the package directions which indicate to take only 1. I didn't have cramping or an explosive bm. When I did finally poo about 12 hours after taking the pills, it was slow and required lots of effort and pushing. I didn't get everything out as desired...but I did at least have a bm."


"Helps me sleep but I tend to talk a lot and buy things online unaware because I'm under the influence of the medication."


"My Dad started Optivo in May 2017, by the second treatment he was terrible sick, weak, no appetite, upset stomach and talking out of his head and confused. By the third treatment he so much fluid in his feet and was so weak he couldn't even move himself in bed..they should have never done a third treatment but was more concerned about the price of the treatment, my Dad died a week and a half later, in my opinion he spent the last part of his life miserable because of this medicine."


"I have been on Losarten for 15 days. I was on Valsarten before this. The Losarten brings down my blood pressure to 120/70 range. I take a dose in the morning. About 2-3 hrs after I take it I feel upper chest, neck and ear fullness. Over the next 3-4 hrs I feel light headed and I can't walk right. I feel fatigued. Around 4:30 to 5pm, I begin to hear and feel bounding and vibration in my ears and head. By 5pm to 6pm by blood pressure increases. The cardiologist tells me to take it at the same time everyday 12 hrs apart and I can't.  I have to check my blood pressure first and sometimes I can't take it in the morning because my blood pressure is too low 90/60 and sometimes I can't wait the full 12 hrs to take it in the evening. Hair loss nausea"


"I have been on Aviane for 2 and a half weeks and have been extremely emotional, had breakthrough bleeding for almost a week now and have bad cramps and bloating.  I have seen most people say that it gets better after the first few months so I'm crossing my fingers."
