"I started taking this about 8 months ago and up until 4 months ago I was fine with it. I have been suffering major depression, suicidal thoughts, anger issues( I never had anger issues before this pill), and I'm always bleeding. I get spotting at least every week for three days. My sex drive has decreased. I am constantly having yeast infections and when I get turned on I can barely get wet like I use to normally before I took this pill no matter how horny I am. Even though high blood pressure runs in my family as an 18 year old my blood pressure is way to high especially for taking birth control and my blood presume meds. Whatever you do, DON'T TAKE THIS BIRTH CONTROL. Calling my doctor tomorrow to get off this drug after reading into it."


"I called the doctors due to weird symptoms after my 5th day of taking this medication this concludes (chills, naseous, diareah, headache, and even numbness throughout my entire face , lips and mouth, and the shakes) the pain I get from my uti's (burning sensation, hard to pee and hurts) I felt like bactrim made my pains worse the burning was 100x worse ! I felt as If I was dying!!!!  I even had severe insomnia up until 6-7 am! Called the doctors and they said I should have called when the headaches and shakes came a long! Cut me off it immediately and prescribed me macrobid instead, hope it helps !!"


"I have osteoarthrititis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and sciatica and have tried many other pain medicines with Celebrix being the last. I am taking Arthrotec 50mg 3x a day and by the second day I was very pleased with the results. My pain has lessened from a 7-8 down to a 2-4 level.  I have Vicodin as a stand by and haven't taken any this past month, I went from taking 1 to 3 a day to none, that is a good thing!!"


"I have been taking this medicine for two days....I have had trouble falling asleep at night around 11:00PM each night...I am hoping tonight will be a different senerio."


"I'm 48 and in menopause. I've suffered bouts of little depression through life but since menopause, it hit me like a brick. I had had a couple of panic attacks throughout the years and I couldn't shake this gradual depression that was coming over me. I've always been able to talk myself through it but this time, I just couldn't. My doctor prescribed EFFEXOR. I took it 2 days. On the third day, I was driving to work and I SUDDENLY felt like I couldn't breath. I was shaking, my heart was racing and I really thought I was going to die. I pulled over thinking I was having a heart attack. I called 911, throwing up on the side of a freeway. By the time the ambulance came, my heart rate had skyrocketed! Worst experience of my life."


"I wasn't going to write a review on this but I thought I should to give a reason for women to relax! I was given Metronidazole, 500mg twice a day for 7 days for BV. After reading these reviews, I was terrified to take this antibiotic. I was suppose to take it on a Thursday but was so terrified of everyone's experiences on it that I started it a day late. I feel foolish for reading to into other reviews. I just finished my second day and I haven't had any of the terrifying side effects that most of these other women on here have had. The only thing I have, which isn't a big deal compared to the symptoms most of the women stated, is slight diarrhea. Key word; SLIGHT. Don't freak out by others experience! And it's already working with my BV!"


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


"I went on LoSeasonique hoping to stop my period and in return have had an endless one.  The first week I started the pack, I started my regular period.  Week 2 and 3 I had spotting that did not need a pantyliner, okay I could handle "spotting".  Weeks 4 and 5 I had to wear panty liners.  Week 6 possibly my regular period as I had to wear tampons the flow was heavier.  Week 7 still flowing pretty good and wearing tampons.  Week 8 I am still very heavy. I have called Gyn and I will be going to Doctor today. So much for my dreams of not having a period.  Sex life has been totally on halt due to this as well."


"I have tried just about every antidepressant over a 20 yr period. I have been taking Cymbalta for about 6 months and it is my saving grace. All symptoms of depression are gone.  I am happy, focused, and myself again."


"I've been diagnosed with MDD and anxiety. I've always had trouble sleeping so my psychiatrist gave me hydrozyzine 25mg at first and it wasn't doing anything so she upped it to 50mg which still isn't working. My prescription is always being filled so I still have a bottle or two of 25mg and one of 50mg. I'm still taking it and trying to sleep but it's really difficult. Even when I actually feel dead tired, I still can't sleep. I usually end up having to wait till my body gives out to get any sleep. I can't go to psychiatrist because I'm currently not a student so I'm not sure what to do.
If this medicine works for you, congrats and I can't deny that I'm jealous."


"Week three smoke free!!! Ok so I get headaches, feel sick, constipated, crazy dreams but not enough to not be able to go to work and function. I stopped smoking day 9 - haven't smoked for three weeks and its fine - I don't even care - this stuff really works !!!!! Just got to deal with side effects :)"


"I have been taking these pills for 6 months now and am completely at my wits end; I don't notice any weight gain, though my boobs have grown slightly. However.. The abnormal bleeding is driving me crazy! I am grateful that is the only main side effect but it's a total curse. I am bleeding at least 15-20 days during the month and it's just enough so that I'm always wearing a panty liner. Goes without saying, my boyfriend and I are pretty unhappy with our sex life. I obsessively take the pill every single day at the same time and have never skipped a pill- I STILL find myself bleeding every other week. I am stopping these pills and plan on talking to my doc about my other options; if there are no other options we might stick to condoms only."


"I have noticed that my periods have become basically nonexistent which made me worry I was pregnant. After looking at everyone’s experiences it has made me realize I also have weight gain (10lb), major mood swings, low libido, and emotional spells for no reason. I have been on this brand of BC for about 4-5 months now and the only good thing is the light periods and no pregnancy. I am asking my doctor to change brands if possible."


"I went to my PCP almost a week ago, and was diagnosed with upper respiratory infection. I was prescribed 24-hour Zyrtec (antihistamine), and Amoxicillan (antihistamine). Not good enough.  The Amoxicillan turned the phlegm from yellow-green to clear, but the Zydeco didn't help with the massive mucus nor post nasal drip, cough or sneezing. So I added regular doses of Benadryl antihistamine, Guafenesin (expectorant) and  continued with the Benzonatate. This "cocktail" is working well with plenty of water and re-dosing every 5-6 hours. Makes me a tad bit drowsy, but I have suffered from insomnia and anxiety for years, so I enjoying the slight drowsiness."


"At the age of 59 and after 2 bladder surgeries, I was beside myself with my leakage problems. I have been taking Vesicare for 5 weeks now and am a totally new person.  I no longer run into the house making a beeline to the bathroom.  I can control my urge until I get the the bathroom.  No massive leaks or unable to stop.  Vesicare started working after 2 days.  As far as I can tell, I have no noticeable side effects."


"After trying 5 other anti-depressants I was finally given Viibryd. I feel better than I have in years. Thankfully, I haven't had any of the problems listed in other posts. I'm starting on month two so I'm hoping this medicine continues to keep working so well."


"My child was diagnosed 05/06.  Since that time the only major flare he has had was precipitated by the stomach flu.  He is otherwise basically controlled with Pentasa."


"38 YOA Male.  Started Dec 2015 at 238lbs.  April 2016 at 196 lbs. That's down 42 lbs.  My metabolism is super slow.  I'm eating around 1000 calories a day in order to see movement.  I workout 4-5 xs a week, for 45 mins a day.  I log my calories with the Lose It app and weigh everyday with Scaledown.  I have not experienced any side effects other than colors being brighter."


"It did stop the cough, got up all the junk in my lungs and allowed me to continue my work day. However it gave me such terrible stomach pain I was very near calling it quits and going home. Taking a smaller dose with food made this problem much more tolerable, yet that burning feeling lingered for hours after."


"The first time I took Zyban was around 2004. I was on it for a week and I was amazed how it stopped the urge to smoke BUT the side effects were awful. I experienced anxiety and what felt like deep lows.  I would wake up sobbing for no reason but at least I didn't feel like a cigarette!
I'm in Australia and pretty sure that we take the same levels of 150mg twice a day"


"Hi I have had severe depression anxiety and intrusive thoughts for over a year I was put on 50mg sertralin and felt great then increased to 100mg within days felt awful so now back down to 50mg has anyone else had this experience?"


"My doctor gave me this medication to take to stabilize my mood... it worked wonders for me!"


"I had the same appetite and weight that I had when I didn't use belviq. It is expensive and it didnt work at all for me, I was still hungry just like before. I don't recommend it"


"This birth control was great for reducing my periods and helping with endometriosis cramps, but it has made me very depressed and tired. "


"I had kyleena I inserted 9/1. I was terrified but it wasn't bad at all. I took 800 mg of ibuprofen before. Insertion wasn't painful at all. It wasn't pleasant but it was painful. Lasted maybe 30 seconds. No kids, first IUD I have had. I spotted around the time I should have had my period, now nothing. No acne. A little bit of cramping here and there the first week but I think I just really liked my heating pad."


"I've had this birth control for about two years now. The first year I had it it was perfect. It was like it wasn't even there. I didn't have periods for a year, I lost access weight, my metabolism sped up, and I had more energy than normal. Then, the December of that year I took an antibiotic for either a sinus infection or strep (I forget which one) and immediately things went downhill. A got a cyst in my ovaries and this was extremely painful. Then I had crazy nonstop painful periods that would go on for months. My obgyn prescribed me with estrogen and that didn't help. I now have gained about twenty pounds and I have cellulite everywhere. I think I'll be getting it out and going solo for awhile to resuscitate my hormones."


"In the past all medications failed, then went for stimulation of the Tiva nerve, that did not work after 12 weeks of therapy. My average times per day was approximately 15. I have been on MYRBETRIG 25MG for 3 days, my average now is 9, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. No side effects. I am 70yr old male."


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


"I was given this for panic disorder with agoraphobia. It made me so dizzy every time I took it that I couldn't even read a book because it felt like I was in a washing machine being twirled around. I took it at night before bed and I had to make sure I was in bed when I took it and I could not be walking around or doing anything because I was afraid I'd stumble or fall down. I took it for eight days and it didn't get any better, so finally I stopped taking it. It had no noticeable improvement on my anxiety anyway and I didn't see the point in taking something that made me feel like I was on a merry-go-round."


"Was on Fetzima for a week and got Serotonin Syndrome. This is my 5th day off of the med and I am still nauseous, hot, red hot flushed face and chest, body aches and pain. Sweating, chills, goose bumps, constant headache, etc. Ugh, hope it goes away soon, this sucks!!!"


"I've only taken belviq a couple of days, but already I've lost several pounds and my desire for food, alcohol, and sugar. Today is day three and I do feel so good. I'll add more info as time progresses."


"I absolutely love Junel fe. It's the first pill I've tried and so far I wouldn't change anything. My periods are light and short but regular. I haven't gained any weight but the pill seems to be aiding in weight loss as I work out a fair amount. No nausea. I have been getting more anxious lately & I do worry that may be a side effect, but I am a person with anxiety disorders in general so I'm not too sure.
I've had an increase in my sex drive as well, and I haven't gotten pregnant, which is the important part here."


"My experience with accutane was for the most part very positive. I suffered from breakouts on my forehead that wouldn’t go away no matter what I tried. I had taken various kinds of birth control over the years to help with my break outs but by the age of 20 it wasn’t helping with my acne at all anymore. The first week or so of taking accutane I got what looked to be a rash on my whole face that was hot to the touch and sore. I felt like I had alligator skin! The rash went away though within a week or two and then the dry skin started but it was nothing I couldn’t keep on top of. I used a vitamin e cream to keep it hydrated. I only did one round of medication and it seemed to do the trick. The dry skin is so worth it!!! My skin is beautiful!"


"I have been steadily gaining weight for years now. I'm not a big eater but at my age and with a condition that makes weight loss even more challenging, I was so frustrated. I'm only marginally chubby, size 12+ but Apple shaped. Started feeling winded. Not good. It's been a few months and I've lost well over 20 lbs. it started working immediately. My husband begs me to eat, by mid afternoon I do get a headache so now I'm eating an English muffin. Any thing rich I cannot eat, maybe a few bites at dinner only. I miss savoring  certain foods but my tummy doesn't. The nausea you experience isn't traditional nausea, it's your brain telling you it wasn't the  right food to eat. Strangely, I tolerate pasta and carbs best, but small portions."


"Horrible horrible horrible! Words can't explain how horrible this patch has made my life. Gave me the worst anxiety of my life! Never ever taking it again! I don't recommend it to anyone!"


"I tried Zoloft for depression and it made me hyper.  Paxil works.  I have used it two times during my life when I was depressed and self-help was not working.  It worked great for depression and I didn't have many side effects EXCEPT that I cannot achieve orgasm while taking this medication.  Nada.  I have a wonderful husband and I am used to a good sex life.  Paxil kills it.  As soon as I'm off the drug for a week, everything comes back.  I hate losing sex but I hate being depressed more.  In the end, that is the choice for me."


"I am 20, no kids and always had issues with my periods, I got the skyla on December  12th and it was very painful , I could barely drive home after. Since the insertion  I have not felt the same and it's been little over a month now. I have cramps so bad some days I can't go to work. And on top of that bleeding every day for the past month has not been fun. I really hope that it will get better because I do like the fact it's good for three years with no worried about taking a pill every day. Honestly I wouldn't recommend  it to anyone ."


"I have been on Enbrel, Humira, Otezla and Stelara and various topicals over the past 15 years or so.  Each medication seemed to reach a plateau as far as effectiveness which is why I moved on to another.  I've been on Cosentyx a little less than 2 months and my psoriasis is worse than it's ever been.  I spoke with my dermatologist and was told that Cosentyx seems to take a bit of time to see positive results.  Their experience has been that right around the third month, improvement is seen.  That's the only reason I am staying with it for another month or two.  After reading all these glowing comments about having clearer skin in weeks or a month, I'm a little discouraged that my psoriasis has gone 1000% in the other direction."


"I have been on Reclipsen (Desogen) , the first birth control I've been on. And I have to say I love it. I always have clear, soft skin, love my periods for being on time, I knew what hour it would come, and when it ends, it was perfect. So I have been on Reclipsen for 1 year and 6 months and I started realizing crazy mood swings during the placebo pills (the PMS week) and my mood would be irritable then happy, it was bipolar, I also realized a lot of hair loss (but then again I really have thick hair), I also realized shortness of breath super easily. I already talked to my doctor about switching. My doctor switched me to Seasonale, I'm kind of nervous switching."


"I was reluctant to take any antidepressant, thinking I could cope and would 'snap out of it'. Feeling like my life was spiralling out of control, panic attacks daily and increased depression, I gave Citalopram a go. Initially I had headaches, and still have a dry mouth at times. No other side effects. Within a week an overwhelming sense of calmness took over. I find it difficult to get angry, and life is so much better. Panic attacks are non existent and I now have my life back and feel great. The change is amazing. I wish I had taken Citalopram months ago."


"Have a terrible taste and smell making me sicker and feeling nauseous. Also muscle cramps. Making tinnitus worse."

"I have had Mirena for four months now.  The insertion was quite painful but I had I had to get it done in the middle of my cycle instead of during my period so I guess more pain is normal then.  My cystic acne has come back in full force in four months and I spot brown very randomly but I suppose both of those could be due to other stresses in my life.  I am also feeling a little depressed and unmotivated, definitely gaining weight without much change in lifestyle. I am 31 with no kids, perhaps I need to work harder on my body now but 12 lbs in four months is a LOT for me.  I will give it six months to see if things level out."


"I was on 100 MG of zoloft for 5 years, and went through a stressful point in my life. I became depressed, crying every hour and wouldn't leave my house. I went to the doctor and he said the zoloft wasn't working anymore and wanted to switch me to lexapro (escitalopram). The withdrawal from stopping zoloft was brutal, but my lexapro started working within a week. I am now on week two and feel amazing. I am going places, and not as tense as normal. The only downside is I'm very irritable but hoping that goes away soon"


"Started viberzi 75mg 2x daily for IBS-D since I don't have a gallbladder. Was great for first 4 days and then diarrhea kicked in 1x daily. Early this morning had severe abdominal pain with sweating and weakness. Pain was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack and almost called 911. Made myself vomit and felt better after that. MD said if it happens again I will have to come off the Viberzi."


"DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL...After 7 days I lost kidney function and could not urinate after drinking 32 oz of water the night before. Had blood in the urine 3 weeks after I stopped taking this poison.  My skin looked fabulous after the 1st day but if I'm dead, having clear skin won't matter."


"I had the Implanon put in in 2010, my 3 years is up and I'm getting it removed tomorrow, THANK GOD! The only reason I kept it in so long is because I didn't have insurance. I bled 3 weeks out of the month. I am not looking forward to the removal tomorrow either. I think I am going to try a mini pill!"


"I have always had anxiety ever since Iwas young but this past summer I was so bad I couldn't go anywhere or do anything. I was even at the point I didn't want to leave the house I was so depressed. I didn't know what I was going to do and I was ruining my daughters and husbands life so I went to the doctor and she put me on paxil 30 mg.  I didn't want to take it cause I  never take pills not even for a headache and was scared how it was going to make me feel. But I took it and it changed my life after about a month I could go places and enjoyed life again with God and my family's help I am doing so much better I still have some days I don't feel good but i don't let it get me down so if anyone is struggling with anxiety there is help out there"


"Made me very anxious, and thoughts racing. Did nothing to ease nausea."


"I've been using it for 8 weeks now and my skin has cleared up tremendously. I still get a few cystic acne (my dermatologist says its normal as Accutane is working to push out all hidden blackheads under the skin) but no new whiteheads or blackheads. Skin is also much less oily. I take about 40mg a day."


"Gave me rapid heart beats !!!!!!!!!"


"I have high regard for Imitrex.  And the generic first provided by Dr. Reddy was equal to the original Imitrex.  However, I have recently been required to use a different generic and it is basically worthless.  I was taking 50 milligrams and having the migraine gone within an hour.  Now a 100 milligram tablet has little effect and I usually have to take a second 100 milligram tablet to get any relieve.  I would sure like to know how the generic industry works because for me it does not seem to be quite up to speed, at least with the drug that I need most."


"Positive results at first. Bladder problems gradually lessened but this relief was soon outweighed when I began to develop a severe blocked nose. This has become such a problem as I can't breath through my nose at all. I am one of the few women in the UK to be using Tamsulosin as a last resort as other medications have not been as successful as was hoped they would be. "


"This product truly is amazing! I am 21 years old and since I was in the 6th grade I have had a problem with my sweating. I always avoided really cute tops and dresses that I knew I would sweat in and ruin. Basically all my tops are black and it was still visible that I was sweating. I never wore tight shirt, always real loose fitting and I was just miserable. Finally I got over my embarrassment and ask my gynecologist what I can do about this sweating problem and she prescribed Hypercare. It stung so badly and I had so much irritation that I wanted to cry but I am so glad I kept using it because that burning was so worth it! I can wear ANYTHING I want, no matter the fit or color. It is amazing and I feel so beautiful and happy! I recommend this product!"


"Such a horrible experience on this...I got it in on August 12th at first my period went away but then August 20th comes and then it finally went away on October 5th and then a week later I've been on it ever since. I'm always nauseous, my migraines have gotten worse, my depression has gotten way out of control where I have been off work since September 25th had to find a therapist a pyschiatrist and I ended up in a mother and baby outpatient program at pine rest for 2weeks...for the past 3 weeks I've been puking at least once or twice a week...I called my drs and I'm getting it taken out on December 2nd 2016."


"Got my urinary tract infection at 10pm and within an hour I knew I was in trouble with the usual stinging and need to go to the bathroom but it happened so fast and before I knew it I was bleeding quite heavily.  Immediately went to Emergency and was prescribed Cipro, within an hour I was getting relief.  I'm dizzy and have ringing in my ears but very relieved the pain is subsiding, hopefully the bleeding will stop soon."


"I have systemic hyperhidrosis.  This is great for my underarms and works well but can really irritate my skin, especially if I have shaved in the last few days.  I wish I could use this for the rest of my hyperhidrosis because it works better than the systemic medications and no weird side effects, but obviously that just isn't practical."


"My experience with Miralax was above and beyond amazing. ...unlike any other. ...after suffering from constipation all my life and after trying every single method and being hospitalized. ..and dealing with several other issues due to my constipation such as anemia, under weight. I was put on Miralax. At first I didn't want to take it because it was slow but my doctor explained to me that it's supposed to help me go to the restroom on my own and that's exactly what I've been doing for 5 years now ...(I went from having a bowel movement every three weeks to every other day and now daily on my own. I still take Miralax but only randomly)"


"Taken for two weeks and have back pain. Stopped taking medicine."


"I was put on this Medication after a suicide attempt two years ago. I dont think I could cope without it even though my life is back on track."


"I would have panic attacks and would cut myself to avoid feeling nervous and anxious about things I couldn't control. I pretty much had a great experience while I was on Zoloft. I was taking 100mgs a day. Very few panic attacks and if I would have feelings of panic, it was much less intense. After about a year, I decided I no longer wanted to be taking anti depressants. I weaned myself off of it. First week I took 75mg, then 50, then 25. This is the end of my first full week off Zoloft and for the most part I feel fine. I think the medicine helps. I noticed my smoking habit has started to come back as my desire for a cigarette while on Zoloft was minimal."


"Lortab has been a God send for me. I have had 6 major abdominal surgeries in 7 months. Last one in July of 08, and I still have a lot of pain. I take 1 x 5/500 every morning and 1 in late afternoon. It takes the edge off, it also winds me up, so I then can do some house cleaning."


"Good medicine, it gets rid of your pain without that drowsy sick feeling. "


"Change my life dramatically within a week. I'm mixed-rapid-cycling. I rapid I mean within the same day. Worse, I feel like behing depress and maniac at the same time. Lamotrigine solve most of that. No real side-effet but vision, dry mouth. I feel that I taught is more clear and vivid than ever. Good feeling. I also have interesting dreams. I'm taking presently  250 mg/night.
However now it's time to ajust again. Symptoms are coming back.
Last word, add 300mg lithium, zopiclone 10mg and zyprexa 2.5"


" I have been using Concerta for many years. It has helped so much, but the only downside to it is it makes me lose weight. I went off of my meds for about three months and gained 50 pounds. This was because I had the habit of eating whatever I want whenever I want and not gain any weight. I was an A  student and as soon as I went off my meds I was getting Fs in all of my classes. I then went back on my meds and within three weeks of me being back on concerta, I lost all of the weight I had gained(because I had to make the habit of not eating so much within those three months), I raised some of my grades to As and some to Ds. I still passed 7th grade because of my circumstance.I have ADD, ADHD, and Cerebral Paulsey."


"I was really nervous to take this but it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated.  Def tastes better chilled; at room temperature it is very salty; chilled it tastes like overly sweet cough syrup with a bitter after-taste.  It helped me to suck on ice or a popsicle in between sips of the superprep.  It began working for me about 1/2 hour after the first dose and I didn't stop going until a 1/2 hour before my procedure.  Tips to help: walking or even just standing helps you from feeling too bloated, stay very, very close to the bathroom as you don't have much warning, use Desitin in between every BM, and have something to keep you distracted, like Netflix.  It's uncomfortable and unpleasant, but not as much as a cancer diagnosis."


"Severe withdraw pain for fire burns victim over 65 percent 3rd degree burns.R resulting in increase blood pressure and after several hours patient was able to sit up but not without extreme burning feeling as though the fire had just taken place."


"This medicine was actually given to me by a close friend, who also has repeated headaches that turn into migraines.  It was amazing.  I took 2 when I had a horrible, pounding headache.  Within an hour the headache was reduced to mild and lifted all together after about 3 hours.  I couldn't believe it.  I called my doctor the very next day and asked her to prescribe it for me."


"I have used it on and off for years to help me sleep in the day (I work 3rd shift) and it is consistently helpful."


"My Dr. Prescribed Gabapentin for insomnia because she didn't want me to use NyQuil or even low dose xanax. Trazadone made me feel hung over so I wouldn't take that. I tried a couple times to take one 300mg capsule - which did nothing.  Then I tried 2 capsules as  it was prescribed as 1-2 capsules. I laid sleepless until 4am. I felt as if someone had turned the radio volume completely down but didn't turn it off. I laid with a silent and blank mind but could move into sleep. Once I fell asleep I slept until 530am when my alarm went off. I felt completely drugged, dizzy, disoriented and even once I was at work I could not remember the names of the physicians I work with daily. I didn't feel safe to drive or care for my patients. Never taking it again."


"I am 25 with no kids. I have had success with bc pills but for my work traveling I forgot to take the pills at the same exact time. I tried nuvaring but it made my leg and arm go numb the 3 times I tried it. So I decided to try skyla. I've read so many horror stories but it was fine! I got it inserted today. It hurt twice, once when they measured and once when they put it in. Honestly the pain for me was about 4 out of 10 for like 2 seconds each. The whole procedure felt like it took two minutes or less. There was very light cramping for 30 min and now I am spotting but no other effects so far! Nothing hurts and I don't feel anything down there. So far so good and I am happy wit my choice!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have had no problems with this drug, and have experienced a lot less bruising since on this drug, as opposed to taking warfarin."


"Extremely important medicine for me with Lymphoma low grade stage 1 under my right eyelid. Very rare location for lymphoma. The first time I did 4 sessions with Rituxan in Jun/2010 and now March/2011 the second time. The pictures show my eyes before and after and big different this medicine made. Thanks doctors and nurses for brilliant work. Itchy was my first side effect and second time no side effects at all. Highly recommended."


"I was on this pill after I finished breast feeding, and I had lots of problems with break-through bleeding, every month. I was on Lo Ovral for 9 years prior to having a baby and didn't experience the problems I have with Loestrin. "


"Was withdrawing from fentanyl heroin and a little bit from suboxone. It takes away most symptoms but xanax and klonopin work better. Ativan works great for anxiety tho. And lasts 6/7 hours for me."


"I could breathe better, but I lost my sense of smell"


"PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE:
- Insertion hurt horribly like most people say
- Intense cramping for first 2 months
- Period gone but spotting every 2 weeks that lasts 7 - 9 days, not enough for a tampon but enough to ruin all your panties
- Bloating, hunger, acne, weight fluctuation, etc. all true
- Cramping randomly and intensely 4 - 5 times per week

EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE:
- Irritability and mood swings OFF THE CHARTS
- Feeling of constant weight on chest, depression, anxiety
- Trouble sleeping, insomnia, worrying
- Decreased libido, aches at thought of having sex
- When having sex I get into it & it's ok but harder to orgasm

It is November 27, removal scheduled for Nov. 30th... This is not worth it.

I'd rather risk pregnancy..."


"I had unprotected sex a day after I finished my period. I am not on birth control so we used a condom. It ended up breaking and he finished inside of me. I ended up taking plan b as soon as I could & a week later I started spotting then it turned into a light period for 3 days. After terrible head aches, back pain, breast hurting and a lot of worrying I got my period a week late. It does work so don't freak out! Once you spot from the pill your period should come a month after that time. So just relax, you'll get it!"


"Absolutely amazing drug. Has quite literally saved my life.

Pity I need to lie to the Australian government about having bipolar to get it prescribed. No doubt this is stopping many thousands of Australians from getting access to it.

Seriously. I went from suicidal for several
months to absolutely normal in one dose.

One dose.

Talk to your doctor about this if anti depressants are not working for you. Understand it may require you to lie about having bipolar."


"Wish I had a bathtub full of this medicine. "


"I went to the Emergency room due to a hot burning stinging itchy rash on my hand with what seemed to be white welts. I was also experiencing some nausea and felt weak.

The doctor examined my hand and diagnosed me with cellulitus. He perscribed me augmentin, which he knew I was allergic too. At least I noticed it before  I took it. He had to change my antibiotic to bactrim. I was given one dose at the hospital because no pharmacies were open on new years day.

That night I felt a slight headache. The night seemed extremely longer than usual. Each hour, seemed like two or three. I didn't think the night was going to end. I was up every few hours, with a dry mouth. I also had an dream that was frightening,  it was of a friend stabbing me."


"klonopin was fast-acting and highly-effective for my anxiety. Be aware though! Very bad experiences developed on the few occasions I couldn't get a refill. The withdraw is immediate and the world literally stops. I could not think, eat or breathe properly. Eventually I began taking it just to avoid withdraw symptoms. I took it for ten years and got slowly weaned off of it."


"Since I was 14 I have battled with severe depression. I never believed that I actually was depressed until one point I felt driven to the edge of taking my life. I decided that this was the only option I had not tried. After only a week I began to respond with the only side effect being an awful headache following the first dose. I have my life back again and man does it feel good."


"Take the smallest dose possible!  I took 50 mg of this and spent an entire day on the couch feeling dizzy and tired and completely wiped out.  It was only until a family member commented on how my anxiety seemed to be better that I realized it was true. I asked my Dr for the smallest dose and 5 mg. It is enough to calm my anxiety and help me sleep without feeling uselessly tired.  "


"I am 52 and have been taking statins for 25 years. From mevecor, zocor, to Lipitor, zetia and now Crestor. I am lucky to have had no side effects but will say the Crestor has worked best at 40mg daily it helps keep it down around 230. Had a 95% blockage at age 28 and 1 stent last year. I believe statins have protected my heart over the years! My brother can not take them and had a quadruple bypass at 49.  Also everyone should have a calcium scan, simple and life saving."


"Since I started taking this medication, I have not seen a period. That is a plus for me, because I hate to bleed. It works great & I don't have any side effects."


"I have been dealing with anxiety/ panic attacks and migraines for 10mths and have tried about everything out there (Prozac/ Buspirone/ Setraline/ Ativan) and NOTHING seemed to work but Ativan. Everything else gave me really bad reactions from burning skin to heart burn, palpitations, shortness of breath, insomnia just to name a few and even worsened my anxiety and led to more panic attacks. The only problem with Ativan was that because it is a Benzo and it is highly addictive so my doctor did not want to prescribe that anymore. My migraines got so severe that I was seen by a Neurologist last week and he prescribed AMITRIPTYLINE so far it's working wonders . I am able sleep through the whole night and my panic attacks are gone!!!!!"


"I took Genvoya for about 3 weeks... I had to stop. I was regularly having numbness on the left side of my body. In addition to that, I was having what felt like small stinging sensations all over my body (mainly in my stomach and back).  I also developed a skin irritation that I'm still fighting to get rid of. I really regret switching to this med."


"First 10 days of taking Belviq, no difference except generalized muscle aches. Then the 'switch' came on. Weight started falling off. Did not change lifestyle @ all.  I didn't excercise & didn't start. Lost 20 lbs in approx. 3 months. Kept wt. off 1 yr.  After 1 yr., Belviq seems to have stopped working. Have put 10 lbs back on.  Has it stopped working after months. for anyone else. Loved it & want it to work again for me."


"After years of suffering with RLS, and two especially bad nights, I finally went to the doctor and he prescribed Requip. Last night was my first night taking it and it did work. It made me extremely nauseated and gave me a massive headache, and I woke up every couple of hours. The third time I woke up, I took a diphenhydramine sleeping pill. That is important to know because generally a sleeping pill would send the RLS through the roof, affecting even my arms. No RLS symptoms after I took the sleeping pill. My head still hurts and I'm still a little nauseated, but my legs are not bothering me. Since it did cause a massive headache, I will try using it only when the RLS is active, and see if that works better for me."


"My Dr. prescribed this ointment in conjunction with memetisone cream. I had a severe reaction with red, hot, weepy, itchy, thin feeling skin that bleed with lightest scratch. Per Dr. I stopped using memetisone and just used tacrolimus, from there skin dried up and became very scaley, still itchy, thin feeling and painful. The ointment also made my skin feel vey dry."


"I have had the Mirena for 10 months now.  I have had to go back to the Doctor because my Mirena fell out of place.  They said the string to your Mirena can sometimes get tangled up with a tampon and when you pull the tampon out the Mirena gets pulled out of place. I have had my period ranging from 2-3 weeks each month. Also my husband can feel it during intercourse.  "


"I recently started this medication after issues with my previous meds that lasted two and a hhalf years. Major improvements! I enjoy the clarity, the increase in motiviation (for finishing tasks and social experiences) and lack of 'fog' that used to cloud my mind. I'm a big guy, so I started on 80mg: which was way too strong. But after cutting the dose in half, I am actually looking and feeling better than I have for years; my therapist, psychiatrist, family and friends all notice an extremely postive difference and vocalize this almost every day :)

Taking it with dinner, though, seems to cause my mental and physical energy to dissipate rapidly. I go to bed much earlier than I'd like to, though."


"I was on the patch for almost 6 six months and it at first it helped but after the second period it didn't work I got really bad cramps I was bledding heavy like I did before followed by every other period after that.  i was on birth control and my obgyn switched me to the patched because I gained weight 20 lbs in a year!

Followed by a lecture of how to eat right, well switching to the patch I lost 4 lbs!

Also I got very headaches from the patch and it just couldn't take it anymore I had to switch back to the pills!"


"Due to being diagnosed w/ Polystic Ovary Syndrome, my doctor put me on Yasmin but later switched me to Levora. This birth control has its pros & cons. Pros: I never got pregnant, even though I was a little inconsistent w/ the time I took it & sometimes would even forget. Cons: It did not help w/ my acne. I was easily irritated & would be depressed when my period was coming. It was very difficult to shed pounds & very easy to gain weight, so I had to be cautious w/ my food intake. I always had headaches, & felt tired and lazy a lot of the time. Birth control effects everyone differently, but I would suggest trying another brand before trying this one."


"Just purchased this drug last week and what a waste of money. I feel very sick and bed ridden. I only took two days worth (2 pills) and I won't be taking it anymore. I cannot function on this drug. I've never been pregnant but it feels like pregnancy symptoms are described, constantly nauseous, exhausted and sensitive to smells. I do not recommend this drug."


"Make sure to take it early in the morning when you have just wake up because you will be awake for hours. Do not take it before sleep like I did, unless you want to stay awake until 6 am following day.
Other than that it works"


"Works very well at controlling breakouts. However, getting rid of them is another story. I have been using Epiduo for 3 months now."


"At the start of a new relationship after the death of my wife , at the age of 52 thought my problem was combined age and mental state problem .Erections would be short lived in fact ejeculation was often in a semi flacid state .Doctor prescribed a 10mg dose and it was like being 17 again  , not only was I rock hard stamina and recovery time was amazing ( still in the relationship and the tablets are one of the reasons )"


"So I have suffered from BV for a couple years now - without even knowing!! I have noticed over the last few years that my scent had gotten really strong, and I automatically thought it was normal, but I was very very self conscious of it!! I finally started googling it, and low and behold...BV showed up everywhere! For me, it was strictly scent, I had no other symptoms. I am married with 2 children, and only have sex with my husband. I finally went to the doctor, and within a day of 500mgx2 daily, I noticed a HUGE difference and it feels wonderful. However, I absolutely hate the side effects of this drug. Oh so tired the third day in (slept all afternoon), the nauseousness and metallic taste in my mouth is incredible,but I would take it again!!!!!"


"I have suffered from mild to moderate acne for almost the past 10 years and for the past few years it has been quite moderate and under control- not perfect but not terrible by any means. However, I went on Yasmin BC and within 4 days I was experiencing the worst breakout of my life. My right cheek, whole chin and jaw line was just awful. I got prescribed differin ASAP and for the past week I have been combining with coconut oil when I apply at night to 'water it down' so to speak. My blemishes are fading SO quick! Ive had a few new ones, an IB I imagine, but they are going as quick as they come. I am really happy and can't recommend enough. This is differin cream and not gel. I have tried duac in the past and it wasnt even close!!!"


"I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 1 1/2 years. Overall good experience. Not pregnant and never have been while on this medication. I took it every morning around the same time, weekends within 4 hours of my usual time. I did not consistently have a period each month which is normal for this medication. Sometimes I had the usual cramps and mood swings around the time I was suppose to have my period but no bleeding. Had breast tenderness. I did not gain weight. No issues with acne but I have a very strong regime for that due to the type of skin I have.  I would recommend to women starting birth control for the first time. I needed a higher dosage of estrogen due to breakthrough bleeding twice so now I am on Junel 1.5/30,  no complaints so far."


"I was terrified of starting Contrave due to the bad  reviews & didn't start for 2 weeks. I am a nurse and also a self-proclaimed hypochondriac. Lol. I've actually lost 3 lbs to date. Side effects for me are nausea/headaches and some jitters here and there, but nothing crazy. I have pretty healthy diet but I'm a major emotional eater/snacker and w/Contrave I haven't snacked this whole week. I had a chocolate cream pie in front of my face, had one bite, and walked away. My kids were shocked. Lol. Excited to see how Contrave can help with my weight loss."


"It really calms me down when I get acute panic attacks. Dr. allows me to take up to one 2 mg tab as needed during day. I do find myself taking up to 2 tabs a day and 1 at night to help with sleep. Nothing else seems to work."


"Best low dose nonsteriodal drug. Not better than Bextra but less dangerous to the stomach."


"I took it for fibromyalgia for 4 weeks. Had loss of memory, dizziness and fainting. Weened myself off with the help of my doctor. Withdrawals were horrible. Headaches, slurred speech, loss of memory, heart racing and palpitations, trouble breathing and dizziness. It lasted nearly 8 month. It was the worst time in my life. I'm happy for those that can tolerate the side effects and are successful on this medication. This is just my story."


"I received the 5 shot series and they did not work for me at all! My knee pain is worse than it's ever been."


"I had sex on the last day of my period, then I took plan b 11 hours after I had sex. A week after taking the pill I experienced brown discharge which was heavy like a regular period the first 2 days then turned into spotting for the next 3 days. My regular period usually lasts 5 days so I figured the pill just made me have a fake period to trick my body into getting rid of the egg before it got fertilized. I have a period app on my iPhone that tells me when my period is going to come and tells me how many days I have between cycles for me, it's 28 days. So I counted 28 days from my last day of brown discharge and the date my period should have come was the 29th of October and it did!! I hope this helps someone out there!"


"Well prescribed this medicine because I had an earache due to sinus build up. Once I started taking the medication everything was fine but a few days later I developed hives and ringing of the ears for some reason. I am allergic to penicillin but I have never had an antibiotic do this to me."


"I think zoloft for me is great. The only downfall i have with it was headaches. They started right when I began taking zoloft daily. They were intense and hurt like hell. Lasted about 2 weeks. Then bam they were gone. I took it at night before bed. I thought they made me tired. Since I've been on it , I've lost about 20lbs. I don't have the munchies at all & honestly I have to tell myself to eat because it curbs my appetite. I don't feel bloated like I did on Lexapro that's why I switched. Zoloft really works for me and I'm on a low dose. Headaches suck the first few weeks but what a difference from lexapro. Everyone's different."


"I can't afford this medication. No insurance and it is ridiculously expensive even though I would love to try it as suppressive therapy."


"I was prescribed Tenuate extended-release tabs because of my caffeine sensitivity.  Of course, I noticed a change but not the jittery/shaky feeling that comes with harsh stimulants.  My side effects included nausea, constipation, blurred vision (which I didn't associate to the meds). I lost 15 pounds over a three month period including the winter holiday period but noticed after that I was not losing anymore.  Two months later and a 6 lb weight gain, I've decided to stop taking the meds.  Immediately, I noticed extreme exhaustion and an inability to get going."


"I've been taking microgestin 1.5/30 for almost 6 months and so far it is great. My main concern when starting birth control was weight gain and acne, but I was able to maintain my weight and my skin has significantly cleared up. My period arrives at the same time every time it is due which is great. Slight headaches and moodiness right before my period, although the I experience moodiness throughout the cycle. This took me a while to get used to but now I am able to control it. I do not use a condom when having sex so this is my only birth control method and so far it has worked to keep me from getting pregnant. I did take antibiotics while on this pill and it seemed to still work fine."


"Used for Burning Mouth Syndrome works well, I have no side effects."


"Do not take this medicine. Took one at 9pm last night and woke up at 4am with the worst abdominal pain I have ever experienced. It carried on throughout my working day and still has not subsided over 24 hours later. It worked but the indescribable amount of pain made it so not worth it!!"


"I have tried a few birth controls and so far I love Loestrin Fe 24. I didn't gain much weight but from talking to one of my doctors I found any birth control will make you gain weight, any time you start messing with a girls hormones you will gain weight. I don't have a period anymore my doctor said it was normal. I have friends on it who say they love it and they usually only get their period for about 2 days and no mood swings. I think the only thing I don't like is if you try to lose weight while you are on it its very, very hard."


"Several years ago I was given tramadol for light pain. I have suffered from bipolar depression for about 40 years and have taken every drug made for depression. I get a little relief using fetzima but the cost is prohibitive. After taking the tramadol I realized that my depression and panic attacks just disappeared. In Mississippi it's almost impossible to get tramadol subscribed so I kept my supply by ordering out of the country which is also very expensive. When you are suicidal much of the time you will seek help wherever you can find it. I finally got a nurse practitioner to prescribe me two 50 mg tablets a day. I have a high tolerance to all drugs and four 50 mg gives me total relief from my mental illness. Side effects decreased sex drv."


"I am so happy that I finally received a diagnosis and treatment! Ever since I was about 19 years old (29 now) I have dealt with depression that came in waves. My anxiety and obsessive tendencies didn't begin until I was 22 and had the military. I always thought that the high stress situation just fed into my depression and caused anxiety and obsession. I finally decided to seek help and I was shocked to find out that I suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder which causes depression and anxiety. I started on Prozac and within the first 6 weeks I felt a rush of relief. I no longer obsessed over the smallest things. I feel so much happier and my friends and family notice the difference big time!"


"I just finished the second phase of two weeks on Zyclara.  It is doing its job for sure.  Alot of open sores at the surface.  Doctor put me on antibiotics as I have some infection going on.  Also, using a antibiotic topical cream to help.  It is painful but worth the time going through this as I have heard good results.  I have had the Mohls surgery and also Efudex.  Hope this clears it up for good."


"I usually have irregular periods. I missed 2 months so my doctor prescribed Generess Fe. It's cool that it's chewable but taking this drug was not a pleasant experience.

For one, my mood swings were incredibly out of whack. I was so depressed and angry and irritable. I couldn't stand something like this having so much control over my emotions. I had serious bloating and my breasts were super swollen and I am already very busty so this was not very comfortable. I had painful migraines. The worst part about it was the CRAZY LONG PERIODS! I've only completed 1 pack and I got my period last month but it's still going on, 15 days now!! It's not really heavy but it's more than just spotting. I stopped taking it"


" It worked! Despite the condom coming off while he was ejaculating during my ovulation window I am not pregnant. Plan b does work but it made my period 3 days late, so if you are late try not to worry."


"I am 19 years old and I have been using Aviane for two weeks now and right away I noticed increased libido but major mood swings. I gain and lose weight pretty quickly so I would have known by now if it causes weight gain, and it doesn't. The only down-side for me is the mood swings, but I noticed that it's manageable with a small cup of coffee; I feel better instantly. All in all, this is a pretty good pill. The reason I changed pills was because of decreased libido with Loestrin 24."


"Numbness on the leg after injection from the knee cap to nearly the groin and around the side of the leg"


"I am 29 years old. Went to the doc for an ear infection and sinus pressure that I think turned into a bad sinus infection. Was given the 21 pill PAC 4 mg. Felt fine day 1, day 2 woke up feeling great but slowly felt numbness in my fingers, nose and cheeks throughout the morning. By lunch time I thought I was having a panic attack from the constant heart racing and shortness of breathe. At one point there was a stream of heat shooting down the back of my neck. Thought I was having an allergic reaction, but after reading other reviews (because it was a Friday after 5 and couldn't reach my doc) it appears these are side affects. I will be going back to the doc Monday, this is why I hate taking meds. Feel like this drug is doing more harm than good."


"Been on 10mg Empagliflozin for just over a month and  I've lost 21 lbs in that time.  I've been on 800 calorie/day low carb diet too and have found it quite easy to do.  As a result I've come off insulin and I'm sure that's made it easier to lose weight.  Something I haven't seen anyone mention is fluid retention.  I suffered really badly from fluid retention in hot weather.  When the temperature goes up, I can put on 14 lbs in 48 hours and can then barely walk my legs and feet are so swollen.  Never found anything that really helped.  Just had to wait for weather to cool down again and swelling reduced.  Since I've been on Empagliflozin, my body is properly drained all the time.  Fabulous!  Love this drug. HbA1c good too."


"I lasted 6 days on this. 2 pills every 12 hours. I had severe stomach cramps but it wasn't diarrhea. Eating helped a little bit with the vomiting feeling. I drank a lot of water as I felt dehydrated. I experienced insomnia everyday up until 6 am. Sleeping only 5 hrs a day maybe even 4 with an hour nap. My skin became very itchy and broke out in hives on my elbows and upper arms. My lower back and ankles also broke out in hives. The headache is just so bad...within the first dosage I had the headache immediately.  I feel better from my ear infections, throat, nose and eyes...but the hives are still there..follow up with Dr asap."


"It doesn't seem to be working for me. This is the 5th week. I need my rescue inhaler 4 times a day."


"I I wanted to give an update as I hadn't started taking Requip on my first post. I had taken 2 doses, and had one episode of RLS the second day.  On the 3rd day, I was sitting in the waiting room at the colonoscopy clinic while my husband was in the back.  I kept dozing off, and would wake up, looking for my bottle of water, and it was in my purse,  sitting in my lap.  This happened over 4-5 times.   Anyhow, I took another dose that night, which was a Monday.  The next day, on the drive home, I was dozing, then woke up, raised up my seat, put my window down a little, reached out and pushed the mirror up!  I didn't say anything, put my window back up, and went back to sleep.  That was my last dose and I threw the rest of it away."


"I really like Abilify. I take it combined with another medication (Lamictal) and my depression improves along with it my racing mind. I have also taken this medicine before for about a year."


"I have had insomnia since I was 12, I started taking this when I was 14 and have been sleeping wellish since. My body adjusts to it very easily though, so my doctor had to keep going up on my dose, now I just take my 100 to 150 MG of trazodone at night and a melatonin if i need it. Works pretty well. I don't have any nightmares but my dreams are strange."


"I have been taking trazodone for 2 years now. My doctor prescribed it to me to help with depression and insomnia. I now take 200 mg a night alone with another prescription sleep pill and I am FINALLY able to sleep a whole night through. I have run out of trazodone and had to wait a few days until I got the money to get them and I can really tell a difference when I don't have them. It helps me get a good nights sleep AND helps with the depression. I would recommend this to anyone who needs it."


"I thouroughly enjoyed NR it was my first real birth control. I was on it for about 9 months. Around 5 months I started to feel like I had an STD when I got checked it was nothing. Around the same time I was experiencing sooooo much excess discharge and that's when i decided to switch, but for the most part i loved it."


"I can't rate the actual medication because I can't afford it. I've been on over 14 weeks of flagyl total and I am on disability and vancomycin is over 50% of my income so I can either die starving and homeless or die a slow painful death of c diff - which is how I currently feel. Right now it's a coin toss"


"I have never been able to take cholesterol medicines until Trilipix.  It has done wonders for me and my liver enzymes are not bothered at all."


"Started on Victoza two weeks ago.  I've lost six pounds and have not experienced any of the negative side-effects - just the decreased appetite.  I was taking Metformin 1000mg twice a day and glypizide (Glucotrol) 10 mg twice a day, and my morning sugars were crazy high, like in the 200's and the doc was talking about insulin.  Then I saw the endocrinologist, who put me on Victoza and on day 2 my morning bg was 89!  Am now off the glypizide and tapering off the Metformin, continuing to lose weight and feeling good!  I hope the long-term side-effects don't turn out to be bad..."


"I was prescribed this for my 6 yr old daughter to help her sleep. I've only been using it a couple of nights but it doesn't seem to be working. I am giving her the 3x5ml dose and giving her it at 6pm and up to now she is still not going to sleep before 11pm. Am I not giving her enough or not giving it enough time to work? Advice greatly appreciated! Thanks"


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


"I'm on my 2nd weeks with Truelicity.0.75 mg..I take my shot every Friday at noon. by Saturday-Sunday night I have diarrhea, and feeling very sick to my stomach /getting sick..& The hearburn I think is the worst side effect of all..Burping every 20 minutes then it feels like my chest is on fire..Alka-Seltzer did help with the heartburn!! Last but not least i'm hardly eating..I maybe take 3 bites of something and i'm done with it..It seems like my taste buds have changed all food is either to sweet or to salty...On the other hand my blood sugar numbers are great..I was taking Tresiba 30 units once a day with metformin 1,000 mgs 2x a day.& my blood sugar numbers were over 280..with truelicity my blood sugar numbers are under 170 after i eat"


"As several people have already said, the majority of reviews I read for Yaz scared me almost to the point of reconsidering my choice of pill.  However, I decided to just give it a shot, and I have found VERY FEW problems.  My skin cleared up, besides a few pimples around my period, I gained maybe 5 pounds (my breasts got larger, but who's complaining), and as someone who suffers from generalized anxiety disorder, I have found no issues.  There are only two negatives that I have found: if you forget to take a pill, you start spotting. My friends who take yaz have similar experiences.  The other negative is that I tend to get a little moody around my period. Overall, I would definitely recommend this pill for acne and birth control."


"Works great for getting rid of a UTI or as a prophylaxis for UTIs. But, the accompanying nausea is hard to bear. I would have to take an anti-nausea pill at the same time, along with a little food, or I would not make it. Best time is to take before bed."


"I have used Ortho Evra for 4+ years while being in a relationship. I have had regular periods each month, all beginning on the same day each month while on the patch. My periods only lasted 3-4 days. I love the patch and have never had a pregnancy scare while on it. The only downside if any was when putting the patch back on after having it off for a week. That sometimes caused a sense of nausea, but I would highly recommend it."


"My husband and I decided that the Mirena was our best option since he is still in school and I am a social worker.  I had the IUD placed 2 days before the wedding.  It was very painful. Since placement, I still have irregular bleeding, cramps, horrible dizziness, headaches, moodiness, and have gained weight.  I have had an MRI to rule out any issues with the dizziness and headaches as they did not start until about a month and a half after placement.  It is like Vertigo, but none of the treatments for vertigo have helped.  I think it is the Mirena.  I am too irresponsible with other forms of birth control so I am trying to wait it out and see if it gets better. "


"Have had 2 sinus surgeries in the past 5 years. This is the first sinus infection since my last surgery (2 months of sinus infection) and I just started Avelox yesterday. So far not much of a side effect, have some nausea (but that sure beats another surgery). Good luck all."


"Lamictal helps my mood swings but sometimes it makes me stutter or feel like crying. Other than that I am satisfied with the treatment for Bipolar 1 disorder."


"I started prestiq on Tuesday July 5th 2016 again. And I have lost 9lbs already. I feel less depressed however I've been on it before and I will warn you do not skip taking it. The withdrawals are HELL!!"


"I had back surgery in 02 and I have severe leg and foot pain ever since. Since that time I have been on Ultram and am pain free. I know they just classified it as a narcotic, where I live, a year ago. It's a shame because I've been on it for 6 years and have never felt better. It is addictive because when I go for longer than 24 hours without it, I have withdrawals but I've been on it for 6 years so it is to be expected. I highly recommend this drug."


"I'm elated that I finally get to add my positive review to this ever-growing list! I should start out, however, by saying that I was already on birth control when I took Plan B. I had taken every pill on time, and, although I probably didn't need it, after the condom we were using broke, I headed to the store to get Plan B- better safe than sorry, right?

I experienced almost no side effects immediately after taking the pill. There was a bit of bloating the first day, but that was about it. A week after I took it (four days before the usual start date of my period), I started cramping in the mornings. My period came on-schedule- right down to the hour! Cramps the first day were WAY worse than usual, but everything else has been great!"


"I have had panic disorder for years, thanks in large part to a serious medical condition that has since been addressed. Klonopin has helped tremendously even at a fairly low dose (1mg daily). I would add that this is not a drug to stop cold turkey; having tried, I can tell you that it worsens the anxiety and panic. I'm also not thrilled that I still take it after so many years. But, it has greatly improved my quality of life and for that I am grateful."


"I have suffered from chronic headaches/migraines all my life (over 40yrs). I have taken Lortab, Tylenol #3 and Percocet but all have not helped much and caused rebound headaches. Panlor SS is the 1st medication that has truly helped ease off the pain with not many side effects. Thanks for a great medication."


"I have been on Ativan or lorazepam for 7 years now. It has saved my life. My now grown children say it is my nice pill. And yes I wasn't a very nice mom when they were growing up. So it is a fare statement. I need it also as an on the spot antianxiety, for depression and nervous breakdowns."


"I put this patch on on Friday. At first I felt dizzy and nauseous so I had to take a zofran and the feeling went away. It seemed like the pain relief was almost immediate, it was a 7.25 mcg/hr patch. Keep in mind that I've been taking other pain meds since 2004 for fibromyalgia and I had stopped them the day before in anticipation of this patch. I woke up in quite a bit of pain on Saturday and took a norco and with that and moving around I felt fine. I had to take a zofran Saturday, Sunday, and today for nauseousness but other than that I feel fine and the pain is gone. It has only been 3 days, but if it keeps working like this, I'm sticking with the patch. Very happy so far."


"Life saver for my anxiety"


"Was warned about benzo's by my first psychiatrist but in all fairness I haven't seen a (major) dosage increase. I first started with .25mg when I needed it. Mostly at night to .5mg again mostly at night. To then routinely taking .5mg in the morning and at night. Never straying to take it any more doses per day because of said addiction warnings. I have had some lapses in taking the prescribed amount for a couple days of which I paid for with loss of sleep but with any negatives I've found for this drug the positives have outweighed the negatives significantly. The biggest negative for me is the controlled substance and the hoops one must go through in order to maintain a routine for the medication."


"I have been on this medication for two years. It has been very affective in preventing pregnancy but the weight gain has been outrageous. I gained 30lbs since having it inserted. I'm vegan and go to the gym 3x a week, also I have a very physical job and still gained weight. Come my 3 year anniversary it will be removed and I will try something else."


"I’m almost done with my second month of Yaz and it has been really tough. I was put on birth control for PCOS as a way to regulate my hormones and period. Both months about three weeks into the pack I get headaches, nausea, upper stomach cramps, exhaustion, throwing up, extremely sensitive breasts, horrible uterine cramps, sporadic facial hair growth (I have facial hair due to PCOS and I was hoping yaz would reduce it but it seems to make it grow faster during certain times of the month), and a terrible liquid yellow diarrhea (tmi I know). I’m trying to stick it out but honestly I don’t even know if this pill is helping with my hormone but we’ll see."


"This stuff really did the job. It knocked me on my booty and I am used to taking medications that make you sleepy. This kept me sleeping all night long after about 3 weeks of falling asleep and not being able to stay asleep for more than an hour or two. My prescription is for 25 mg and I only took a half. Just to let you know, You may want to try it when you do not have to work the next day. I am not sure if I could have gotten up in time for work this morning if I had to. I do all medications like this slowly and I never start out at my prescribed dosage. I always start out a lot lower dosage and go up from there if I need to. I do feel a bit of anxiety today. Not sure if it's the medication, or? I am wide AWAKE now. A bit strange."


"I have been on the shot for 6 months now (and am due for my 3rd shot in 2 weeks) and I have yet to get my period! I have had no spotting throughout the 6 months. I do, however, still have the symptoms that I would have if I were to get my period at the time that I would get my period, but they're not as bad as without the shot. Cramps are minimal. The only downside is I am a huge hypochondriac and since some of the side effects are also early pregnancy symptoms, I am constantly thinking I'm pregnant (even though the chances are 3 in 1000). I would highly recommend this method!"


"I have ADHD and have been taking Adderall for 5 years now. I take 30mg in the morning and sometimes a 10mg in the afternoon. It helps me to focus in school and get better grades. I have gotten to the point where I will not even go to school without it."


"I love this medicine! It has quite literally saved my life, and has made my life much more livable. Whenever I would do anything physical, my heart would beat so fast that I would frequently faint. I went to my cardiologist, and she gave me a holter monitor. She saw what I was talking about and gave me 50mg of Toprol-XL everyday. That was over 3 years ago, still on the same dosage, and it is wonderful. For the first few months, I was a little over tired, but that side effect quickly went away."


"Works great. No side effects. No morning effects. Good sleep for 7hrs."


"Currently on week 2 and it made me feel like myself again. Anxiety/panic attacks have ruined my life the last 2 years. My first panic attack was purely physical (POUNDING heart I thought I was dying) roommate took me to the ER. The next week I was prescribed metoprolol and saw a cardiologist who suggested it was anxiety as I didn't believe it was. Eventually the anxiety took my life over and manifested mentally as well (running out of grocery lines, skipping work, etc) I'm a little distracted here but all in all buspirone is a life saver. I forgot what it felt like to be ME again. I now mentally feel amazing, the depression that dug into my life from the anxiety made me a shell of myself. I can honestly say buspirone saved me from myself."


"Im 20 and took one shot back in October, my husband and I decided on trying for a baby within the next year so I did go for the second shot in December. The first month was great but ever since then I will go almost a month bleeding off a week or so then another month and I have the worst cramps ever. I am just now starting to get over the mood swings and depression. My face broke out bad, clearing up now. I also gained 20 Ibs and I know that was from the shot because I eat right and exercise. I will never take this again and will never recommend it to anyone. Now hopefully it will hurry and be completely out of my system so we can start making babies."


"Overall I like this pill but it makes me so emotional and moody. "


"My wife started taking Viibyrd and she got every bad side effect. Violent, angry, mania and paranoid. That is truly the drug from hell! She would scream at me for hours and then started hitting and slapping me. I had to move out of the house and get an apartment and we are probably getting divorced. Viibyrd ruined my marriage..."


"I started taking topamax a year ago and it helped with my visual migraines. I had the side affects such as; delayed speech, confusion, numbness, carbonated drinks are horrible tasting, dizziness, all the normal side affects... But they only lasted a few weeks. I'm at 100mg a day now, 50 in the morning and 50 at night. Now the side effects don't bother me at all. I haven't lost not one pound so I'm not sure what the weight loss is about. I actually gained 10! Overall its doing its purpose."


"I had unprotected sex and took Plan B less than 24 hours after. A week later, I began to bleed for three days and by the fourth it was a brownish color. Im not sure if this was caused by the plan B or it's my period because I got my last period July 9th. I recently got very sick, sore throat, cough, back pains, tender breasts. I also threw up this morning. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and will see if this was caused from the plan B."


"This medicine has helped my son be able to control his impulse decisions and helped him be able to go to school and do homework."


"I don't know why so many people are having these problems, I used this product last night and did not have a single side effect. Everyone's body reacts differently, I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones. I was back to normal the next day! I would suggest using the test by Monistat that determines if you have a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. No reason to medicate yourself incorrectly since they do offer the test. I will also say that I did not use the wipes or the cream, just the ovule.  Would definitely use again."


"I used Mucinex D last year taking the recommended 1 pill every 12 hours and was fine, it helped so much with my horrible sinus infection.

I'm on day 3 of some nasty congestion and decided to take Mucinex D last night at 9 pm...DO NOT TAKE THIS IN THE AFTERNOON OR NIGHT IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP. I laid down at 10 pm because I felt like crap...I laid in bed until 2 am and finally fell asleep for a whole 3 hours.

I do like this product, but I would just recommend taking it right away in the morning since it lasts 12 hours."


"Had trouble with  sex, dryness, reduced libido, etc., this cream really helped!"


"Had my left eye destroyed by a broomstick in a fight.  Doctor gave me percocet!  What a joke, I was still in agony.  And Opana 10 ER did the trick.  "


"Works great for me, very effective."


"I suffer from chronic pain and have been on and off opioid therapy for much of my adult life. Because I suffer from chronic pelvic pain, constipation is extremely painful for me. Unfortunately natural and/or gentle laxatives were not strong enough for me, and strong laxatives were too hard on my system, so nothing was working for me until now. I have just started the treatments so I am just taking a little less than the 4 ml dose, twice a week.  So far, each time I have had my shot, I have had a %u2018normal%u2019 bowel movement within one hour. Overall if you are struggling with constipation as a result of pain medications, this very well could be the solution for you. It has been for me."


"BEAUTIFUL skin, but I experienced a 10 lb. weight gain that would not come off with diet and exercise! Ugh! Especially in the stomach and thigh area. I stopped taking it 7 days ago..."


"LoSeasonique works fine as birth control. I didn't get pregnant while on it but it didn't keep my period at bay for the 3 months as stated. For me, this pill actually worked the opposite way. I had a period for 3 weeks then nothing for 1 week rather than the other way around. And it wasn't just light spotting, I had bleeding similar to a period. I gave it a chance the first month and the second month, but after that I called it quits. I will have to try something else."


"Linzess has been a life saver. I started out on 145mg and now up to 290mg. Greatly reduces boating and discomfort normally felt after eating and keeps my bowls moving :)"


"I found out about 3 years ago that I had systemic lupus,and it hit me like a brick wall. Besides my joints and muscles hurting, my immune system attacked my blood vessels causing my blood pressure to be uncontrollably high. The Avinza helped bring the blood pressure down as a natural side effect, and has help to manage the pain in the rest of my body. I am currently taking 120 mgs slow release daily, but still have some pain. I would not have been able to function without the morphine. Aside from the pain in general, my blood pressure was never out of the "stroke and heart attack" zone with regular hypertension drugs. The worse side effects are nausea and constipation."


"This has been a wonderful addition to the pain medicines, with enabling a reduction in pain medicines from using this to stop the spasms that irritated the nerves. With my nerves less irritated, I was more fun to be around!"


"Xanax helped me major status! When I was 22 years old tried spice its a messed up chemical synthetic THC bull.. anyways I smoked three bowls and then boom I couldn't breath my hands and muscles tightened up and I couldn't move. And my chest felt like I had 500 pounds on it! I thought I was dying and my whole body was tingly! Went to the hospital and they diagnose with GAD and panic disorder. For three months I did not leave my house and I thought I was dying 50% of the time. So my doctor put me on Ativan for a month I stopped taking it in 5 days. I felt like I was going insane. So I was given. Xanax for a month. The first time taking it BOOM it all stopped I was a normal person it helped me get over all my panic attacks! 0.5Mg as needed!"


"I've been on the pill for a month started my second month, and almost finished with week one. So far my cramps have still been horrible, and my acne has worsen since I've been on the pill. Hoping for changes the third month!"


"Celexa is a literally a magic pill, for me. 20 minutes, tops & I feel like myself again. I've been taking it for about 4 years for 1 or 2 months a couple of times a year. The holidays are always bad. I get so sick of crying all the time. Sobbing, actually. I've tried a few other antidepressants but nothing works like Celexa. For me. May not be for everyone. Other people may need to take Celexa for a longer or more regular period of time & it can take up to 2-3 weeks for the medication to completely work, for a lot of people. Ask your doctor & give it a try."


"I've had Implanon since September 2014. When I first got it, the week after I got my period and it lasted for 10 days. Then I didn't get my next period until November. Sometimes when I have sex I get this bad sharp pain in my abdomen. This has never happened prior to the Implanon. My period skips two months at a time before it comes back again. When it comes back sometimes I have it and my cycle is regular or much longer than usual. I don't know if it's spotting or bleeding but I'll get my period, be good for a week then it comes right back, then be gone for a week and come back again. Very very frustrating. I'm hoping others can relate. Overall, I like it. I'm not pregnant and I feel sure of the protection it's providing."


"I did not find this medication to be effective. I approximately 3 hours of sustained attention .My energy depletes throughout the day. I do not like the gritted texture nor taste. I will not continue this medication."


"Has been effective, and with no remarkable side effects. "


"Today I had Skyla inserted. Have been using regular birth control pills for years. Decided to try Skyla to curve my high blood pressure due to the hormones in the birth control pills. Was informed to take Misoprostol 24 hours before appointment to prepare the cervix (make the procedure easier). They said this procedure would hurt worse because I have not had any children. This procedure was surprisingly very painful for me. Would not suggest this form of birth control unless you absolutely needed this form of birth control, only because I found it very painful."


"I got Nexplanon 8 weeks postpartum. Since I'm breastfeeding, I had no period before getting it. I got it inserted on a Friday and started bleeding the following week on Thursday. The bleeding lasted for a week straight. I'm going to assume it's my period. The only side effects I had was the bleeding and slight increase in appetite (no weight gain though) oh and the nasty bruise by the insertion site. I was nervous about getting a hormonal birth control birth control. I was on the pill a couple years ago and was not myself on it. I'm really happy with Nexplanon so far."


"I switched from the pill to this. I am sure this is a great method for other people, like it clears up acne and shortens periods. Not for me though. I could never get it to stay in place, always having to push it in place. I even tried a tampon applicator, but that only helped a bit. After about 5 days I took it out and called it quits. I could always feel it, and again it was always sliding out. Towards the end of my few days on it, it started to hurt for me because it was so irritating and causing me tons of discharge. Anyways, I am sure it works/worked well for others, but not for me."


"I began talking Adipex since March 10, 2009.  I am down 14 pounds.  I found that after a couple of weeks I was getting a tolerance to the medication. I stopped taking it for two days and the weight started to fall off again.  I exercise at least 3 times a week by walking and running on my treadmill and using stretch bands.  I feel great. I still have twenty pounds to go, but I am eating MUCH healthier and do not crave junk food anymore.  Make sure you change your eating habits so you don't gain the weight back when you get off the medicine.  This is just the jump start that I needed to get back in shape after having two kids."


"I have lost extensive weight and have lots of energy but my hair is falling out and is so brittle is  breaking off at the ends. My numbers have gone down but your hair is usually a good indication of your health.  If the medication is doing this to my hair what other long terms effects am i going to have that I am unaware of.

I am thankful that other people expressed their problem with hair loss also. I was told that I probably use too many chemicals on my hair."


"I usually had no problem with my period. Came every month for about 3 or 4 days max. Until this last month I had abnormal heavy bleeding, changing pads every hour. My doctor started me on progesterone despite the fact that I'm allergic to it. Insertion was very painful since my cervix is small and never had kids so insertion was painful and the lidocaine made my heart beat fast. I had really bad cramping after the procedure and still in pain. We will see if this helps me. "


"I've had menstrual migraines since my late teens. I also have an aspirin allergy, so my pain relief was going to urgent care & getting phenergan shots with codeine. The pain didn't stop, it just allowed me to sleep. Then a fellow migraine sufferer told me about zomig. It's a miracle. I take 5 mg as soon as I feel the "migraine feeling" and lay down in a dark room. 2 hours later I take another. I'm good for 24 hours, I can function. Go to work. Run my house, etc. I then take one more, since my migraines are anywhere from 3-4 days. This is the first medicine that actually wipes my migraine out & not just dulls it. My side affects are: dry mouth, fatigue, foggy head, tingling feet & legs. But hey....I'd take those any day over a migraine!"


"Diagnosed 1 yr ago Gen type 3 after other issues were being investigated. Now Into my second week of treatment no side effects to report , except tiredness and fatigue which I was already experiencing for many years . I was also suffering from aches and pains, liver pain, & dare I say it but I think I can already feel improvement, " touch wood".
I have also been diagnosed with liver disease , not sure if the Hep C has caused this or my social drinking. I am now obviously abstaining .
I go back for my first meds/bloods check in a few days, I will keep you guys upto date, best wishes to you all.
Thank you Gilead and the UK NHS without either I suspect I would be on my way to the Grand Lodge Above"


"I was prescribed terbinafine tablets as I had tried curanail paint on and the urea treatment. After about 2 weeks on the tablets I noticed the Base of my nail appeared healthy and clear although after 4 weeks the infection has since spread all the way to Base of my nail so the infection is actually worse now than it was before I started taking the tablets. The doctor says I should continue the course but I'm now on my 3rd month and my whole nail is completely infected. I've also been getting intense itching and chest pains."


"If there was an option for zero stars out of ten it would receive zero. I got this put in my arm about a year and a half ago and since then have put on right around 100lbs. I never get a period but have the worst cramps I've ever had in my life around every 3 months. I've never had acne, and now I can't get rid of it no matter how much medication I use. I am overly emotional and have the worst mood swings.  My best advice: STAY AWAY FROM IMPLANON"


"I have had sacral joint and nerve pain since 2000. I started taking Lortab and when those didn't work, oxy's.  I finally managed to get off those by taking 5-10 Lortabs a day. I was a slave to the bottle, every hour or two. It was awful.  Now I take 1-2 methadones in the morning and I am fine till the next day, about 80% of the time.  Occasionally I have to take a 5mg one 1 hr before bed, but all in all it has been a relief."


"I went on this for bi polar disorder and depression. although it did help with my depression but not with my anger. it also made me gain weight!! Its only been a month and i'm up 15 pounds."


"I have mild psoriasis on elbows; been using Tazorac and/or Metamosone.  Got a 'script for Vectical; the outcome has been quite good.  Still can see some slightly red spots (which helps daily re-treatment), but mostly the skin now appears normal.  I bought a second tube before my coupons expired (see below).

The shock is the price: Without insurance, this would cost $600/tube.  Insurance co-pay was $65, and Vectical has a coupon that pays the co-pay, so it cost me $0."


"If you're looking for a birth control that's easy on your body in the sense that you don't get mood swings, no weight gain, good sex drive, etc., you might like Alesse. If you're looking for all that as well as an acne treatment, BEWARE (especially if you have adult acne)! My doctor put me on Alesse because I was looking for a birth control and an acne treatment (I had moderate adult acne on my cheeks). The first three months, I thought I was in heaven. No mood swings, no weight gain, clear skin, etc. Then approaching my period on the fourth month, I woke up with 6 acne cysts on my chin, jaw and lower cheek. I had never had them before. Still getting pre-period cystic breakout, onto Diane 35 next month."


"I've been getting Orthovisc injections for 12 years, I'm 52, just had first of 3 again this am.  Makes big difference for me, and has.  Tried another brand, 3 shots in one, yikes and didn't last.  Yes the 3rd shot more painful, and yes feels a bit wobbly at first after each injection but gone within a day.  Still snowboarding, hiking, paddle boarding, wakesurfing more than wakeboarding (that is impact).  Thank you for orthovisc.  PS side note, have a reputable orthopedic with great PA's who mostly do the injections.  It can go crazy painful bad with that long needle."


"I have been on this medicine for about three years with good effect. My problem has cleared up. However, for the last week I have woken at about 1.30 am with severe heartburn so obviously the medication no longer is working. "


"I recently just got diagnosed about a month two weeks ago. My viral load was 38000 and CD count was 259 and I started treatment about three weeks ago and so far I haven't had any negative side effects and am really hoping it stays like the same."


"My experience with Lexapro has been a positive one.  I've been on it after my social anxiety became intolerable and I'd hit the lowest low of my life -- had a few anxiety attacks and was doing horrible at work.  I wasn't able to keep anything straight, was disorganized, forgetful, anxious, irresponsible, irritable. I felt high anxiety in making simple decisions, writing, communicating, asserting myself, the list goes on. I started Lexapro and it took a solid 2 months for it to really start working effectively.  At that point, I became much more calm (much less anxiety), organized, together-with, and punctual (qualities I had never achieved before in my life!). I've started to eat healthier, work out, work harder, and have joined some social clubs. Success!"


"Today I went in for my IUD Mirena insertion, and I have to say it was a bad experience for me. HOWEVER, here's my situation, I have only had ever light and short periods. I have never experienced cramps or sharp pains during my period. During the procedure I had insane cramping right away and I felt like I was going to be sick from both ends at any minute. I had trouble waking and was in crippling pain for 5hrs, and am still in slight discomfort. But from what my mom and the doctors all said apparently that's just what bad period cramps feel like. Ie if your use to bad periods this may be easier for you, but if not you may have a bad time like I did. I suggest bringing a friend with you in case."


"This medicine has been very helpful to me. I have always been very reluctant to try medications. This medication has stopped the crying everyday, the constant anger, and helped significantly with anxiety. I have been on Celexa for almost 3 months and I feel a little better everyday, it just takes time. I've had night sweats, light headaches and not slept as well as I used to since starting this medication. However, for me, the benefits are outweighing the side effects at the moment and I will continue to use Celexa until that is no longer the case."


"I just started my 2nd pack of Lo Loestrin Fe this past Sunday. I have to admit when I first starting this pill I was a little skeptic because it is such a low dose pill. I absolutely LOVE this pill so far. I do not have a ton of side effects like with other pills. Last summer I briefly was on Ortho Tri-cyclen and it made me gain 10 pounds in one week! On this pill I do not have any weight gain and no crazy mood swings and my period was super light this month. I did have some spotting throughout the first pack though. I work at a gynecology office so I am well aware that the first 3 months of any new birth control can have potentially weird side effects such as abnormal bleeding, mood swings, etc. Thumbs up from me. Will update soon. "


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


"As a prediabetic, I am anxious to not hit a "tipping point" into full diabetes. I asked my GP for Vitroza, but could only get insurance to cover Byetta. Three weeks later and 25 pounds less, I am thrilled. I still lap swim 3 times a week and lift weights with no hunger or sweet cravings. Also I inject in my thigh with no side effects. WHEW! Thanks Byetta!!"


"So many people warned me against it but I wouldn't listen. The convenience of not taking something every day or having to use condoms with my partner was too alluring. But 100% not worth it. I bled 20 days of the month - mostly spotting but due to unexpected random heavy periods at completely random times I had to wear a tampon always. The constant tampon wear dried out my nether regions to the point that I formed dermatitis down stairs and constantly had sores. This partnered with the hormonal changes completely destroyed my sex drive. Not to mention the cystic, painful acne, the hair thinning, constant painful breasts, horrible mood and yeast infections. I was 17 to 18 years old too! DO NOT RECOMMEND."


"I suffer from GAD, what is depression, anxiety and insomnia.  The episode started in March 2015. I felt tiredness every day. I increased my physical activity to make my body triger to relax. It did not work. Within three months my diptession got worse. I felt anxiety, discomfort in my body, tiredness, lost interest to my favorit activities, in other words I survived.Then at the end of May I started taking Quaetepine 1 tab before night. It made me sleep 4-5 hrs at night. Then I splited 50mg of Pristiq into 4 parts (12.5 mg) and took them for 4 days. Next 4 days I was taking 25mg. Then 50 mg next 12 days. Now I am on 100 mg. After 45 days I felt good relief. It worked! But I felt aweful all time before. I experiensed lots of side effects."


"Helped a lot."


"I have been on the depo shot for over a year now and I regret having it done! Everyone's bodies are different! But my experience wasn't good put it that way. I always have bad headaches and belly ache. The main problem for me was the weight gain I used to be size 12 now I'm size 16-18!!! I always feel depressed and get very moody over little stupid things! I am coming off this and very much considering going on the copper coil as this doesn't have any hormones. Some advice if you have had problems on the pill or anything you will probably get this on the depo. Also I haven't had any periods on this which was the only good thing."


"I've been on this medication for 5 months now and I love it! I had a little bleeding between my periods the first month or two, but now nothing. And my periods are so much lighter! The only problem I have is that it's about $40 even with my insurance, but otherwise I love it!"


"Wow! reading all the comments, make me realise I am not alone. Had mine since May the 5th. Small side effects, sore breasts, a bit tired. 3 weeks with no bleeding then since the 27 of may, no stop. My period used to be very heaving, 7 to 8 days straight, but with the implant I wear only small pads. I can't complain that much about the bleeding, no major side effect. We are all different and I am going to give it more chance. I used to wear big pad during my period you could see the shape on my trousers, but now it light, and no baby. I think I could give it 6 months trial."


"I have used this medication for many years, it keeps the weight off of me and helps me to concentrate much better. I believe I actually had ADD and I was very unorganized it has helped me in numerous ways without any negative reactions and I do not have to increase the dosage its always been the same. I am very happy with this medication."


"I was prescribed Invokana for high glucose (Prediabetes), not diabetic yet.  I have been on the medicine a little over a month.  I developed a yeast infection and my hair is shedding a lot--handfuls at a time. Dermatologist said it would shed for up to 10 more weeks. What a horrible side effect that is not mentioned anywhere!  I stopped taking the medicine."


"I take this medicine primarily for obsessive compulsive disorder, but I also have depression and general anxiety disorder that it helps with. I took it several years ago but it pooped out on me, and my psychiatrist decided to try it again about two years ago. I worked up to 80 mgs because she said that I needed a really high dosage. I take it when I wake up in the morning and find it activating. It's so weird because I find things that I realize I do now that I would've never done before being on this medicine. It's such a good feeling each time I realize that and am reminded of how far I've come. I love this medication and really, really hope I can stay on it this time and not have it poop out on me."


"After being switched from Vyvanse Capsules to Dextroamphetamine tablets, I can respire better."


"I started taking strattera at 25mg. The first week was crazy I felt like I could do anything. I had so much time on my hands and accomplished so much. I no longer had to fight with myself to wake up. I had so much energy and "the foggy" feeling was gone. I could focus and what I had to do do it and then move on to the next. It was wonderful. The only side effect I had was insomnia but that went a way after the first week and it was easily resolved with some meditation. After that I started to settle in because I was getting used to it the feelings were dying down. I missed the sense of euphoria the first week had brought but I was still plenty productive and over all my social relationships ad improved. After 3 months I am starting 40mg."


"Have had lower back pain from an injury 5 years ago picking up an incredibly heavy cabinet full of books. Yeah I know super intelligent! Have tried Xanax, ib protein 800 and Advil and nothing takes the pain away like flexeril 10mg consistantly right before bed! Wonder drug for me! Best part of all its non addicting. Doctor said its a torn muscle on the left side of my spine, also shot me up with a cortisone shot that hurt like hell for days! I have been on it for a week and it's night and day for me, hope it keeps doing what it's doing. Good luck to everyone!"


"I've been bleeding for a year and a half consistently. I just don't know if I can take it out without causing more bleeding. Absolutely do not suggest."


"This is the first medicine that actually ALWAYS gets rid of my migraine with minimal side effects. It's like a miracle as far as I'm concerned."


"Have been on Welchol Oral Suspension or Tabs for a little less than a year, my LDL-C went down about 38%.  Oral Suspension is a nice option, just mix in water bottle with 3/4 filled with water, shake it and have with my dinner."


"I've been taking trinessa for about 8 months now, and I am satisfied. No pimples, my period is lighter, I also use to get the worst cramps and nausea and now no cramps, or anything. I haven't experienced weight gain, my boobs do feel a little bigger though. But so far no complains"


"I was given Butrans 10 after gallbladder surgery, and ended up with adhesions, I started the patches 1 every 7 days and was shocked the next morning after applying it the day before, I had been getting up in the night to take Norco 10 and also 3 to 4 Norcos during the day, the first 3 months the 10 mg worked great with 2 Norco during the day, some days only 1 Norco. Then when I started the fourth month I realized I was having to get up in the night and take a Norco, I would wake up my knees and legs killing me, I have put up with this for 6 weeks, when I return to the dr tomorrow I will ask if he needs to up my mg to a 15 or 20, the Butran 10 had worked great at first I guess my body just got used to it and I need to ramp it up."
