"Before I got on this pill I was experiencing extreme extreme cramps to the point where I could not sleep through the night without waking up two times each hour from the pain. I started this pill and have been on it for about a month now and have not got cramps at all! All of my cramps have disappeared! I'm so happy for that. However, spotting did happen all through the first month until I got my normal period. Although my period has been way lighter! So far so good, we'll see how it plays out though."


"It's the best medicine for relief from cold and runny nose but I feel sleepy every time I use it."


"I've only been on Sprintec for about a month, but I switched over from Loestrin 24 FE after being on that for a while. I had gained 10 pounds on Loestrin and I was having two periods a month. After switching to Sprintec, I stopped having two periods a month and I have no mood swings. The negative things about it is that now I have acne, when I used to never have it. I am also extremely bloated all the time, to the point where it actually looks like I've gained 5-10 pounds. I don't know if it's water weight or if I'm actually gaining that much weight. My eating habits are still the same and I work out 6 days a week, so it can't be from my diet/exercise. Overall, it's been okay, but I would love for the weight gain to disappear."


"I was put on Complera when my viral load hit 0. I have been on it 5 months. I get my labs done next week. I previously had been on 8 pills a day which caused awful nightmares. I was diagnosed HIV positive when I was 8 months pregnant, which was devastating, but miraculously within that short time until I delivered my baby my viral load went from 264 to 62. My daughter is HIV free. I guess the only downfall to Complera is taking with 400 calories. Time will tell. I also experience pain at times and insomnia."


"Had symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, then a stone popped out. Had both Rapaflo and Flomax on hand, so I took the Flomax. Great within hours and for the first few weeks, then start with blood pressure issues. I also take Avapro as a preventative to blown kidneys from being diabetic, so they can BOTH lower blood pressure, which it seems all of these medicines CAN do. Not sure if I have a full blown case of BPH, OR a moving stone, as it comes and goes on its own, and I never have night up and down issues. Mine is what seems like unable to fully empty, full bladder, and then, drip, drip, drip, drip. Flomax works within hours on me, but long term has problems with the fast pulse. Thinking of trying Rapaflo instead of Flomax when it flares up."


"I am still on Nuvaring but am ready for a change. I don't feel like myself anymore. I feel lost, confused and it's very hard for me to feel happy without feelings of anxiety and panic overcoming me. I have recurring negative thoughts that give me anxiety that I cannot stop. I feel like I'm spinning out of control and unable to control my thoughts. I have "crazy" outbursts and am extremely sensitive. I have noticed that in the past few months that I go through one week where I feel like I should completely change my life- pack up and move away, usually the week before I take the ring out. I'm ready to be done with Nuvaring forever!"


"Wow!  This stuff worked immediately. No side effects."


"I had the Mirena IUD inserted about a month and a half ago. I cramped the day of a little bit and everything was fine. So far I love it, I have only had one period since and have been expecting a second and it hasn't come yet. Unfortunately I am having it removed in a couple of weeks. My husband and I after having sex noticed blood in our areas- and it was from the strings of the Mirena cutting him. This was really painful for him and it is not his first injury during sex since I had it inserted. I would recommend if your partner is rather larger than average that this may not be for you because it has been an issue for us since inserted."


"I just started taking this medication on (4/9/2015) and I can honestly say that the amount of energy I have is almost mind blowing! I made the decision to take this  because I am a young (26) single mother of a 5 year old and through the hardships we have endured I began to notice I ate to feel better. Until I realized it was making me feel worse. I had ZERO energy. Barely had the energy to go to work and do the daily routine let alone play with my innocent child who so desperately needs her mother. It was time I made a change. That's when I made my appointment. I am 5'6 and my starting weight was 231. I am already down 5lbs. I'm working out and eating right as well! I will check in later and let you know of my progress! Best wishes!"


"I had been taking Yaz for about 2 years then had to stop since I was switching jobs and lost my insurance for a few months.  When I first started taking Yaz I noticed MUCH lighter and shorter periods, no noticeable weight gain/loss, no mood swings or craving.  When I started taking the generic pills I felt the exact same and chalked it up to taking Yaz for so long, except when I recently switched back to Yaz my breasts were tender and a few days before my period I had bad migraines.  I really didn't think to relate these to Yaz until I read some of the other posts and heard of the side effects."


"Could not afford Abilify out of pocket, started back on Depakote. I had no problem with gain weight. I do however find I tend to be a little more moody but less frequently. I take with bupropion XR. Seems to be a decent cocktail. Not too potent, and not under effective. I like how it does not create a sedative effect like antipsychotics."


"Best birth control I have ever had."


"I am 52 and when  I finally started taking it faithfully every night and not skipping nights because of the side effect of drowsiness; I have no hot flashes, anymore. My doctor wrote for me to take 1 to 2 tabs before bedtime and I take 1 and 1/2 at night. I occasionally  may have some mild warmth but no embarrassingly breaking out in heavy sweating  about 20 to 30 times a day like before or every 20 minutes or so like I was sweating before. I started taking it as prescribed about 3 weeks ago with no skipping around on taking it. I also was prescribed Mimvey Lo and Effexor for the hot flashes but I truly saw a big decrease in the flashes when I started taking the Clonodine faithfully and as prescribed."


"My son is 8 yrs old and could not hold anything down. The doctor gave him Zofran and he began to have hallucination! Well come to find out he is the 27 reported case in the U.S. He had to be sent to a children's hospital. My daughter is 2 and had Zofran she did really well. She did a complete 360 in minutes. Just goes to show how everybody is different."


"Just about to turn 41. Been having issues completing and was getting more embarrassed. I had the talk with my Dr. and was prescribed 30 20mg at $4 each. Results first try were 2 completed sessions in 2hrs with 40mg. Wow.. miracle drug.. Last time I was this hard I was 18 and raging with testosterone."


"I was asked to use these drops one month before cataract surgery.  After 10 days or less (not sure of exact timeframe) I wanted take my eyeball out of my eye socket.  I was in a lot of pain in that eye and wanted to just keep my eye shut.  I called my eye doctor to let them know I could not use this eye drop and explained my symptoms to an assistant.  She told me to use hot compresses and to use another eye drop prior to surgery.  I told her I must be allergic to this eye drop.  She did not agree.  I did not use any more eye drops until 7 days prior to surgery."


"I've had this in for a little over a year and it took away the cramps but I still get back aches. Now period in stead of lasting 3 days, I know get it for 20-25 days with only 2 weeks in between each cycle."


"Much more effective than methadone for getting clean if you can afford it or have insurance."


"I have been on Junel for about 4 months and it is definitely different than my other birth control choices. I am happy to see that my period was extra light so bye bye tampons and hello panty liners. Unlike other birth control, my acne was regulated before my period come on but during that light flow, Hello acne. I think I can deal with this."


"I HIGHLY recommend this medication. I am 15 and have had mild to severe acne since I was around 12.  I have been using this for 2 years off and on. About 4 months ago I started using it religiously and saw a dramatic difference. The only problem is it makes your skin dry and or flaky during the first period using the medication, which is why I gave it 9 stars. But nothing compares to the result. I only get very small pimples and I also has decreased my acne scars dramatically with use. Overall if you are having problems with acne (especially with confidence issues resulting in acne) then I HIGHLY recommended this medication! I use .05."


"I know every medication works different on each person. But Abilify worked great for the first few months. I felt like my old self again. I took 10mg once a day but over the course of 1.5 years my blood pressure went up (never had a problem with it before it had always been perfect), all my cholesterol levels skyrocketed, my glucose levels went up, my muscles begin to get tight, I GAINED 50lbS too, and the worse part was the i was beginning to have more up-n-down moments and depression. "


"This would be the second most effective NSAID for me, behind Motrin but well ahead of Aleve or other OTC's of any type - It is my preference for "cold and flu" because it breaks a fever pretty quick.   If there is a downside, it's that if I take 2 or 3 a day for more than a week, it definitely causes a ringing in my ears, loud.   Short-term or simple pain, the old school aspirin just works."


"This is the only medication I have found that has worked in combination with my other medications in ten years for my bi polar and I'm very pleased with the results!"


"Getting the skyla inserted was not painful at all. It was just uncomfortable and there was a lot of cramping and pressure but it was over in five minutes. After, I experienced very minor cramping and bleeding. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend to anyone who is considering this type of birth control!"


"I have taken prednisone for other reasons than this razor/ glass feeling sore throat, fever and body aches and have hated it!  I went to Urgent Care who told me I didn't have strep and this was viral. I asked if there was anything they could give me to help open me up because my nose was stuffy and my throat felt constricted, they said steam. Next day I was able to be squeezed in at my Dr.'s office he figures viral too but gave me prednisone, within a few hours I noticed the difference in my air flow down my windpipe and that says a lot cause I take oxygen for heart defect. For all the times I hated taking prednisone before because of side effects. I am happily taking it for the worst sore throat I have ever had in my life!"


"It's working !!!"


"I had one shot and came on my period about two weeks late then was on/off quite heavily for the rest of the 3 months, I was on more than I was off in all I think I was off for about 4 days give or take. It’s been a year since I last had the shot and my periods still aren’t fully back to normal, I used to be extremely regular, I now come on twice a month, and never know when am going to come on!
I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone"


"Do NOT take Aftera. All these people saying it worked is only saying it cause they were gonna get on their periods anyway. "Period came as scheduled".. a day after pill, your period should come 2 to 3 days after taking the pill with lots of cramping. First time I took it, I got pregnant. 2nd time, NO CRAMPING STILL=NOT WORKING. Spend a little more for Plan B."


"Been taking belviq for 3-4 weeks. Side affects were mild headache,fatigue and sneezing in the 3rd week but now subsided for the most part.  I am though a little tired at the end of day and sleep well at night. I'm assuming the longer you take it the more your body gets used to it. I have lost 15 lbs so far. I have cut my portions to almost half. Still eating much of what I like but less. Also notice  that I have made some new healthy choices. I plan to start exercising this week as well, by walking regularly until I can jog comfortably.  I know there is no perfect pill that's not going to have side affects so if there's a little discomfort in the short term for long term gains I'm in. I truly belviq will help me achieve my long term goal."


"I wanted to share my opinion of Loestrin after reading the other reviews because I found it so interesting how birth control can so differently affect different people. I switched to Loestrin from Yaz about a year ago and have been much happier. I was put on Yaz to control my mood swings during my period but it ended up making me experience periods that would last 2 weeks with very heavy bleeding the whole time. I now have very regular, light periods with Loestrin and it still controls my mood swings. I do notice more breakouts but nothing ridicuouls just one or two more pimples rather than none. No weight gain, no headaches, no other problems."


"5 days ago I was diagnosed with facial cellulitis I went to the er and they gave me cephalexin and bactrim.  I was told to take 2 cephalexin and 4 bactrim within the past few days of taking both antibiotics my rate has gone up my jaw jitters a lot I know have a fever and my left arm feels like I pulled every single muscle in it plus I noticed 5 new blisters on my face that go red and are as hard as a marble till it feels up with puss and bursts. The only good thing about this pill is that it helped clear two parts of where the cellulitis was on my face but now I have these new symptoms and I'm not sure what to do."


"This is my first time on BC so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. It made me throw up when I first started taking it but I found that if I took it at night with food I had no problems with getting sick. Helped my acne a ton! Did get pretty crazy mood swings though."


"This medication is an appetite suppressant and it does just that; I have been on the medication for only a week now but so far the results are amazing; I have lost 8.4 lbs; I have never been able to lose this much weight with dieting and exercise alone; I hope the results continue; so far the only side effect has been a metallic taste in my mouth."


"Been on it for several years for spinal condition. Never had any uncomfortable side effects from it, and it managed my pain great. Now I have been taken off Dilaudid and put on Methadone. Nausea, periodic profuse sweating along with agonizing pain is what I'm back to. I also got tired of finding doctors that were willing to prescribe it, finding a pharmacy that carried it and even if the pharmacy has them, you still have the pharmacists who decide to "play God and were not willing to fill it for you. If you are lucky enough to establish these 3. things, you're still having to deal with ignorant attitudes from people who think they know more than the orthopedic professionals that you have to see on a  monthly basis."


"I've tried many different meds for back pain and nothing really helped, had 12 epidural injections then burned my nerves.  Nothing helped because my doctors didn't know what was wrong.  I then went to a chiropractor and within a few weeks it started to help. He found what was wrong just by my x-ray, my hip was about an inch off hitting a nerve.  Now I can work again, not 100% but 4 year's suffering to being able to walk somewhat normal is great. Still need meds for pain but way less.  If nothing else helps try a chiropractor.  Don't wait 4 year's to go. If it don't help in a month stop going its not going to."


"I almost passed out on 20mg.'s. My pulse was a dangerously low 40 b.p.m.. This is a very dangerous drug that has been linked to sudden deaths when combined with at least 12 other medications."


"I took two pills with a couple glasses of water at bedtime and had a bowel movement approximately eleven hours later with no unusual discomfort at all. When I have prepared for examinations in the past it was always the bottle of citromag that you drink after the stool softeners that made me feel cold and crampy and that I should just stay on the toilet for the night. No problem with dulcolax at all"


"Before I got nexplanon I looked up reviews. Which was a horrible idea. I read tons and tons of bad things about it. Eventually I built up the courage to finally get it. These are my "pros" and "cons". Pros: I didn't have to worry about taking a pill or changing a patch/ ring/ diaphram. I only had 2 periods! And I didn't get pregnant on it! Cons: gave me headaches. Hot flashes and I felt super nauseous when I would get hungry. And I gained 50 pounds! Today was 9 months of me being on it. I got it removed this morning. Now I'm going to try Mirena. Not every form of birth control is right for everyone!"


"I use it every night before bed."


"Just turned 50 and I've fought with Bipolar Disorder and Depression my entire life.  I've been taking 300mg of Lamictal to control mood swings and 1.5mg of Klonopin to treat chronic anxiety.  Depression was still so overwhelming that I asked for an anti-depressant.  The MD prescribed 200mg of Wellbutrin SR which had a positive effect, yet did not get rid of the underlying thoughts of death and dying; many of you will understand that I'm talking about a coping mechanism not actually wanting harm myself.  A pharmacist told me to ask my MD about Deplin and that was the best medical advice I've ever received!  I've been taking 15mg daily for over two months and have not felt this "normal" for many years!  Thanks for reading my opinion."


"I would like to first say that my experience with Adderall was overall successful, it most definitely helped my concentration and ability to focus. However, there are some side effects that I think are worth noting.

I had minimal anxiety prior to taking this medication (only when traveling). My anxiety dramatically increased to the point where I was put in therapy and almost took a medical leave from work. (I quit taking the medication once I realized it was a significant contributing factor - although not completely to blame)

I had a very dry mouth while prescribed, which actually ended up leading to cavities according to my dentist.

Noticeable lower back pain & problems sleeping (both are alleviated once you quit taking the meds)"


"I have been taking Paxil for about 6 years now off and on.  After a while they stopped working, my doctor switched me to something else. Can't remember the name but that did no good for me. I stopped taking them and am going to the doctor to go back on Paxil. It's the best treatment I have had.  It kept me calm for years, it's great for this condition."


"I have been on LOLO (canadian version) for just over a month now.
I personally have had side effects on this pill, but nothing extreme and I feel pretty good.

Here's a list of my side effects week by week:
Week 1: dry eyes, dull cramps, vivid dreams, feeling tired
Week 2: Small dark spotting, irritable, acne, large appetite, tired
Week 3: large appetite, acne, emotional, dark spotting
Week 4: dark spotting, tired, dull cramps, appetite normal
Did not get my period on the placebo pills. Spotting was no big deal at all. No weight gain. No bloating. No horrendous cramps that I usually get.

So far during the second pack I am feeling pretty good. I think this pill is worth a try, and you need to give your body time to adjust!!"


"Taking Portia landed me in the hospital. After taking it for 4 months, I began having horrible head aches and sensitivity to light. A few days later I went to the Doctors, after a CT, MRI, and a MRV they found a major blood clot in my brain. Two days later I was admitted into the hospital with blindness in my left eye resulting in having to have a spinal tap to take the fluid off of my brain. For the next year I will be on a blood thinner and a brain swelling medication. DO NOT TAKE PORTIA!!!"


"One day, out of the blue, I felt lightheaded ; I was nauseous, my legs were tingling and a horrible fear over took me. I had every physical test taken. All were negative.  Finally, totally desperate and afraid I'd have another attack, I went to 2 psychiatrists. Both diagnosed Panic Disorder. (Found out it runs in my family. ) Was put on amitriptyline, Prozac, Busbar, Paxil. I stuck each one out for 6 weeks. The nausea was horrible and the anxiety debilitating.  Finally I met a psychiatrist who put me on Zanax ( .5 mg 4 to 5 times a day and 25 mg of  Zoloft. My life improved immediately. He said he hoped the Zoloft would end the panic attacks but it took a combination of both meds. I take .5 Xanax 3 times a day. I'm alive again!"


"I had a copper IUCD inserted shortly after the arrival of our last baby. Once I got my period back, the first 6 months included very very heavy long periods, but since then it is all back to normal with no sideeffects. If you can endure the first 6 months it is worth it!"


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 18 years ago. I stopped working a few years after due to the pain. I tried many medications so I could have some quality of life with my husband and 2 children. I spent most of my time in bed or on the couch because the pain was so debilitating. I was taking Ultram and Zanex but these just didn't take away the pain and then my doctor started me on Lyrica. I started feeling like a new person because slowly the pain started to decrease. The only side effect which could also be part of Fibromyalgia is with speech. I have trouble sometimes finding the words I want to say. I now take 75 mg 3 times per day and have been taking it for over 10 years. I'm so grateful to have my life back."


"I had severe allergies and could barely breathe and had to sit up while sleeping since it was so bad trying to breathe while laying on my side while sleeping. I was prescribed this medicine and the doctor told me that I would know within 15 minutes or so whether it was going to work or not. I was totally surprised how fast my allergies went away.  My breathing became normal and stopped the sneezing. I researched this medicine after taking it and was surprised about the side effects but so far not a single side effect. I am a totally satisfied customer."


"Alli is FDA approved medicine for weight loss program. Patients can purchase it from a chemist counter without any prescription. I have tried this medicine personally and got great results. "


"I have been taking this drug for about 2.5 months.  I had toenail fungus on my toes, it actually hurt me to walk.  The fungus started on one toenail and low and behold spread to 7 of my toenails, so don't think that it won't spread cause it does.  I did a liver test before taking to make sure my liver was fine.  I was scared to take because of the side effects I've heard, however I really haven't had any.  When I first started taking I had a little diarrhea and minor loss of appetite, but like I've stated, I'm now 2.5 months into taking it and no problems.  My toes all appear to be clearing up nicely, I have about 1.5 months left of treatment and I suspect that they will all be fine when I've completed my medication cycle."


"Excellent for chronic arthritic ankle/knee/hip pain; 3 x 4MG tablets three times in 24 hours for full relief.  Breakthrough pain  (walking for 30 mins) is reduced by another 2 X 4mg tabs but the resulting sleepiness is annoying so I tend not to be too mobile which is bad. "


"I was put on aggrenox to keep from having  strokes. I was fine with taking it until about 7 months later it caused me to have another. Before and after my stroke I had excruciating headaches. I took my own self off aggrenox and the headaches disappeared. I would suggest if anyone is taking it to STOP."


"Back in 2012, I got the implant which was then called Implanon. There aren't really any major differences between the two besides the way they insert them. I loved it! I had normal 5-7 day long periods and my mood or weight did not change. One bad experience I had was when I bled heavily for about a week. Also, there is a scar from where it was inserted and removed. I've recently got the implant replaced so now I have Nexplanon. Now with this one, I have been experiencing light spotting for 3 weeks on and off. I'm not sure if my body still needs time to adjust to the implant or what. I'll just wait it out a few months before going to talk to my doctor about."


"The first week I felt weak and had trouble with saying the right words in a sentence. I was dizzy and my tongue felt swollen, my lips felt swollen. I've been on this two weeks and now I'm a little dizzy and head feels bigger, and my eyes are not seeing clear as before. And I wish I could sleep all day, as it's hard to concentrate, and eyes feel half closed."


"Had an allergic reaction - facial swelling, lips and nose."


"I have been on Wellbutrin for about a week and have already noticed a significant difference in my study abilities. I was able to actually sit down and actively study tonight for 4 hours and I have not been able to do that for years! I took Ritalin when I was in high school, but stopped taking it when I had a complete nervous breakdown. My doctor started me on 150mg twice daily and I tell you what, I feel like me again! Bright, alert, I have energy, and completely at ease and happy. Thank you Wellbutrin for giving me myself back again."


"Once I started using Anoro Ellipta I felt it to be effective in controlling the shortnss of my breath ,easy to use with no side effects and I QUIT SMOKING easily .Thanks"


"I have been on quit a few birth controls and this is by far my favorite. I just have one concern with this BC....my legs hairs are much much course and darker. It actually hurt now when I have chill bumps. Its like I can actually feel them growing (which burns now). I have not had a period since I have had it in which is awesome. I find myself moody sometimes, but I think that could also deal with my three little girls and husband."


"I started the 500mg on Tuesday night. Wednesday night was the only time I was nauseous. However I did start to have a weird taste in my mouth like I have been rinsing my mouth and drinking peroxide and baking soda 24/7 to the point where water taste sweet to me."


"This was given to me for SIBO (I've suffered from irritable bowel syndrome for years). I took it 3x/day for 14 days. Although I had no side effects from this medicine it did not help with resolving my SIBO. I even did another test for SIBO after I took the antibiotics and there was absolutely no change. Also luckily my insurance covered so it was $70 but without insurance its around $900!"


"Cymbalta helped my depression slightly, but my vision deteriorated and it caused profuse sweating"


"I've been in chronic pain for 9 years from trigeminal nueralgia, fibromyalgia, bulging discs, occipital neuralgia, spinal stenosis. I've been on every narcotic out there in high doses and they either put me to sleep or didn't work. All the other muscle relaxers just put me to sleep. A few months ago a doctor that I've only been seeing for about 6 months put me on Soma and it was a miracle! Finally, something that worked with no noticeable side effects. It's wonderful and I have no cravings for it and take it only as needed. It is a wonderful medicine. Thank you Soma."


"I didn't get pregnant, which is the only reason I'm rating this a 2. I have been bleeding for 56 days straight as of today. Since I got the shot, I have experienced severe fatigue, 1-3 hour long headaches, appetite issues, inability to get out of bed, and horrible cystic acne."


"I took this morning after pill this morning and I feel seriously depressed this evening. I suffered from depression when I was a teenager and how I feel this evening is the closest I've ever felt to that time. I don't know if this is a rare side effect?"


"I have had negative experiences with opana ER 30 mg / and 10 mg IR  . I have had mostly all of the side effects & my doctor won't listen to me"


"24y/o with some symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome/mild depression. Recently started back on Aviane after 4 months of taking it to regulate my hormones. PROS: more optimistic, fewer mood swings, reduced symptoms of PCOS/irregular periods, clearer skin. When I was off it, my cycles had reset and normalized. CONS: longer periods, migraines when on placebo. Active pills are great though, no complaints. Still use a condom for extra insurance."


"Worked wonders for me. Changed my life. I have little to no anxiety problems now after a lifetime of anxiety problems."


"The vicodin 10/300 is my last resort for migraines when Frova/Immitrex does not work. I take it with Zofran because I am always nauseated with my migraines and very rarely do I have to take another dose to get rid of the migraine. This medication has saved me from going to the ER numerous times."


"I wanted to share my experience, because it's been just over a year since I stopped taking accutane, and the results have been amazing. I started in May of 2016 after years of mild acne ruined my self confidence. The only negative thing I will say about this medication is that it knocks you down before it picks you up. I suffered awful dry skin at first, so much so I couldn't even shave without my face getting cut up. However, after about a month of this, and my acne not getting any better, I started to see results, and in the year since I ended my 5 month regimen, besides the occasional white head, my skin is as clear as ever."


"I am just finishing my second round (6yrs!) with Implanon and cannot speak highly enough about this contraception.  The insertion stung a little but nothing that a few deep breaths and some one to hold your hand can't fix.  I haven't had any bleeding since the last insertion which makes it a record 3yrs now but still take a pregnancy test about every 8weeks just to make sure.  The only draw back is a drop in libido.  My husband even says my moods have evened out while on Implanon.  I say a big yes to this product!"


"This doesnt help at all I bought it or 4 yr old daughter and each time she took it the cough worsened I wouldn't recommend it to anyone."


"This medicine caused me to have hot flashes, after taking it for a week."


"I got to a point where I was in bed 20 hrs a day, couldn't work etc. Severely depressed .I've battled that all my life but never got on an anti depressant . Wellbutrin along with lexapro 20 MG changed my life. Mainly the wellbutrin as I truly changed when that was added. I'm on 300mg SR.  AT first you'll feel jumpy and anxious but give it 3-4 days, week tops, and it'll be incredible    I have a new job, I'm traveling. New person."


Aluminum hydroxide / magnesium trisilicate

"Works really well at night to keep stomach acid down"


"I got into a burnout and had anxiety, depressive and obsessive thoughts. I couldn't sleep anymore. My Doctor initially prescribed Paxil but the side effects were horrible so she switched me to Lexapro. My symptoms gradually went away over a month. The only side effect I had was mild weight gain which I could not sweat off until I quit the medication.

I stayed on Lexapro for just over a year while I also did CBT. I gradually quit over a 6-wk period with no withdrawal symptom.

Lexapro litteraly saved my job, relationship and my sanity. I only have good comments to say about this drug."


"Excellent"


"This was heavennnnnnn... i was very sick on my chest. Two doses and i feel way better and also kinda drugged and dizzy but it is a relief. :)"


"After dealing with generalized anxiety for most of my life, I suddenly began to have severe panic attacks. After 2 years of suffering in silence, I addressed this problem & my general doctor gave me Lexapro and I began with 5mg daily. The side effects included drowsiness and frequent yawning. BUT, finally after 2 - 3 weeks I felt like a %u201Cnormal human%u201D again and still suffer from absolutely NO side effects. After 2  months of taking this medication (I have stayed on 5mg/daily), I am back to my productive and excited self. I have been able to do almost everything again and have not suffered from any panic attacks since I began the medication! STAY STRONG and HOPEFUL!"


"I've had Implanon since August 2009. It is due to come out soon but I have had no problems with it. I was a little worried that I would bleed more but I haven't had a period in months. I may have spotting every once in awhile but it is not often. I haven't noticed any changes in myself. No mood swings, or weight gain, food cravings, tiredness, hair loss... nothing. I love never having to worry about birth control. The only reason I'm not getting another one is to try and conceive in the next year or so. But I highly recommend it!!"


"If you have a pacemaker , DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG.  I asked my psychiatrist if it would be ok to take this drug with a pacemaker,  he was wrong ! It put my pacemaker into rev me up mode. My cardiologist was not happy."


"I've tried everything. I've tried Rodin and Fields, I've tried very expensive chemical peels, I've tried regular hydroquinone. This is the only thing that has given me any results. I've been using it for a few weeks and I've already seen a difference. It's been especially effective on the melasma on my fore head, although it is also made my melasma mustache considerably lighter.  You have to go to the doctor to have it prescribed, and it is very expensive. I think with the coupon I paid about $150. To me it's worth it. I've been self-conscious about this for far too long."


"Have been taking Benicar for over a year now. Blood pressure is controlled and I have had no side effects that I can tell."


"My first 2 chemo treatments with other nausea meds were awful, nothing stopped vomiting. I was thinking of quistting chemo because I was so sick. With Varubi no problems and I was able to do more treatments. I highly recommend Varubi."


"I've been taking Tracleer for 8 years and have had almost no side effects. I have to have a liver function test (blood draw) every month and so far I've had no problems. I only experience shortness of breath or discomfort when I try to do too much for too long or too quickly. I am able to do my gardening and housework without discomfort. Thank goodness for "Caring Voice", without them I could not afford the medication. Between Medicare and Caring Voice I pay nothing for the over $7K/month cost."


"Panic attacks, anger attacks, obsessive thoughts and checking money, suicidal thoughts only thankfully, i was hitting my legs with my fists, anxiety and depression, under eating lack, of sleep not able to focus on work.  I started off with 7.5mg mirt. The first night knocked me out! The next morning I was groggy as heck, felt drugged.Finally though I was able to eat. This went on for about 4 days. I continued 7.5 mg for another week and then increased to 15mg. I have never been this calm in my life, it is weird i actually can eat and sleep, my acne is subsiding. I feel myself slowly coming back back. I still suffer from depression and anxiety but everything else including my sleep is finally a pattern. I am able to fall asleep"


"My doctor was aware of my history of and treatment for anxiety and panic attacks when she prescribed this for me.  She directed that it be taken in the evening before bed and I don't know why that is.  There have been 2 or 3 times when I forgot to take it, so I took it the next morning.  I found that on the following nights, I had very strange dreams, woke to a panic attack, and had difficulty going back to sleep.  Since I have put that together, I have made sure to take the medicine at night and I haven't had any more problems."


"I started taking heroin in 1998. I was then put on a methadone program in 2004 and at the time I thought that would be all my problems solved but when you are on methadone you tend to still use heroin because you know you've got your methadone 2 fall back on. So I started Subutex 8mg 1 month ago and have never used heroin because there is no withdrawals at all."


"Orsythia was also given to me in place of my usual Lutera. I have never experienced side effects of any kind with Lutera, but Orsythia has caused me to have frequent headaches, moodiness, and full-blown menstruation in the second week of active pills. "


"I'm 22, normal weight, healthy. I was nauseous and broke out for the first week. My boobs were basically always tender, but they also swelled (I'm like an A cup, so I saw that as a plus). I have always been an easy-cryer, and it did intensify that. I've always had a low libido so I don't think changed MUCH (although my libido went way up after getting off of Sprintec).
I was sad to have to get off it because I had such minor side effects, but the issue I had was bleeding for 7 months. It was light- I went through about 2 panty liners per day and didn't need to sleep in anything- until the last week when I got fed up. I bled so much that I was blacking out and feeling sick. I stopped cold turkey and got headaches but the bleeding is over!!!"


"Have used Topamax for over 2 years, in conjunction with Wellbutrin. Never knew that life was quite like this. I am now almost 53 years old. To think that I lived so many years never being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.  I am so happy that life is so wonderful because of Topamax. Only side effect has been weight loss but, that really is a good thing. It is wonderful to be back at my true weight because the bipolar disorder is now managed."


"I think this medicine is a great alternative to the other prescription sleeping aids. I have had no trouble with it, and on the first day it got me to sleep through the night waking only once, and I fell right back asleep. I'm shocked the rating at the time of my review is only a 5.4."


"Took 100 mg first time at bedtime. Slept well but woke up groggy. Felt bad all day and could fall back asleep just by closing my eyes for 10 seconds. Sluggish, tired. dizzy, etc. "


"I had smoked for 30 years. My daughter asked me to stop smoking before my grandson was born. My grandson is now 4 yrs.old and I have not smoked in 4 1/2 yrs. now. I couldn't have done it without Chantix."


"I was on Azor 10/40.  It worked perfectly. Steady 120/80 reading any time of the day.  My new plan doesn't cover Azor and I'm trying the generic equivalent of amlodopine and Benicar.  On the generic my blood pressure is 150/100.  I guess I'll have to pay the huge out of pocket price for the Azor.  I've had no noticeable side effects on Azor."


"I have been on this pill for about 2 years now, and about 6 months ago the cramps have started to get really bad. To the point where sitting and standing have become unbearable. Laying was the only way I could handle them. I gained about 10 pounds being on this pill. The good thing about it is that it makes the period light, but it also makes it heavy for about 1 day out of the cycle."


"Prescribed 360mg for intense pain in feet caused by mortons neuromas and inflammation of brain. Have taken only 100mg at night. Experiencing increasing eye pain. Resolved to stop taking and seek urgent referral to neuro opthalomagist"


"I treated my UTI successfully during the pregnancy .I did not have side effects"


"Lactulose works don't know why. Lactolose is gentle and actually works. I just about gave up until got this medicine. I take a few Vicodins a day and I needed something to help."


"Day 1 for me today. So far just very nauseous, I hope this doesn't last long.. I will keep everyone posted on my experience."


"Holy moly....first day using this and I wanted to scream within minutes of inserting. The burning and itching is so much worse than the original symptoms. Hoping that this actually works but not sure if I can take 7 days!!!!! Should have read these reviews first."

"I was worried about starting hormonal birth control because I didn't want to become all crazy with mood swings and such. However, I haven't had anything like that with Nora-Be. You have to take it at the exact same time every day, but for me that's easy, I just set the alarm on my phone. The only downfall is that I've broken out with acne on my chest and somewhat on my face, not very attractive, but a small price to pay for not getting pregnant."


"Started on contrave 8/5/17, first day I was lightheaded, nauseous, tired. Didn't feel like doing anything. I debated if I should take the pill at night instead but went ahead & took it in the morning to see how I would feel on the 2nd day. Well I didn't felt as bad on the 2nd day compared to the 1st day. 2nd day I wasn't lightheaded but just felt nauseated & tired, I would get hungry but couldn't eat much because I felt full once I ate 2 to 3 bite. I am at 192lbs, will update after 1 week."


"I am completely satisfied with this pill. Unless you have really bad side effects I wouldn't listen to reviews of people that have been on it for few days only. You have to give your body time to adjust to hormones that you put in, 3-4 months. I am happy with this pill, no side effects at all. It regulated my periods, I know when they're coming and they're short. It keeps my skin clear. No weight gain, slightly bigger breasts but not complaining. No depression, headaches, hair loss or breast soreness. It only costs me $9.99...can't beat that! This pill works perfectly for me."


"I have taken Ambien for about 7 years with no side effects.  "


"Due to my having a variant GI system (with its own side-effects), my oncologist, in an abundance of caution, started me on Imbruvica 1 capsule in the AM, daily. Literally within days, the SIGNIFICANTLY large lymphs in the front and rear of my neck, disappeared. WOW!
MY WBC's skyrocketed, but that is typically expected due to the mechanisms by which Imbruvica works. Oversimplifying here -- the abnormal (cancerous) cells, congregate in the lymphs. Imbruvica forces those abnormal cells out into the bloodstream, where they can be attacked and starved of the BTK protein, which they need to thrive and propagate. The "dead" abnormal cells are then flushed out of the body.
After 2 months dose upped to 2 capsules daily, and still tolerating well."


"There is such a misconception about Xanax with people thinking you will be addicted forever if you use it. When this medicine is used the right way it can be life changing. Every drug can be abused even over the counter medicines. I can relax just knowing I have my Xanax."


"I would probably rate Apriso higher if it were not for some side effects. The only medicine that has actually worked to keep the blood and unreal  cramps at a distance. It works.  only twice have I had symptoms since 11/01/2011, I hope it stays that way. Anyone with ulcerative colitis know's how important this is."


"Used in conjunction with naproxen for arthritis pain, 300 mg per day in 3 increments, usually skip mid day dose if pain is mild."


"The traimcinolone cream works absolutely great on Poison Ivy.  Instead of taking a regimen of Prednisone, I rubbed this cream on the affected spots, and it was totally gone in 2 days!"


"Personally, I love this birth control method and I even have recommended Implanon to several of my friends. Insertion didn't hurt much, although, I do have a very high pain tolerance. The days following insertion were the worst, pain-wise, but it wasn't unbearable. I did experience nausea and dizziness in the first couple weeks as my body adjusted to the hormones. I've actually lost weight, and I haven't had a period or even a single pimple since insertion. The only serious side effects were emotional lability (probably the most concerning), rapid mood swings and some slight depression but honestly? Worth it. It's a hassle-free birth control method and I absolutely love the peace of mind it gives me."


"I started taking Belsomra after my Ambien became not as effective. It was expensive, but I hoped it would change my life. I've had insomnia for almost 20 years. It seemed to work ok at first, but the longer you take it, the worse it gets. Sleep paralysis is just the beginning. Night terrors, violent dreams and very thin sleep followed. By the time I decided to go back to Ambien, I hadn't had a real sleep in months. Don't bother trying."


"There is a reason this is the highest-rated oral contraceptive on drugs.com. It is the best. It has no equivalent. This is the safest type of progestin type in terms of blood clots, the pill is highly androgenic (so, sorry for those with a pre-existing tendency towards acne; this pill may not be the best for you), but for the rest of us it means your sex drive will likely stay intact. It has the least amount of estrogen which, again, means it's the safest pill out there. After a few months your period will be so short and so light. No pill is perfect. Being on the pill means fewer gains in muscle mass at the gym. But this is the closest pill to perfect you will find. You honestly can't do any better so don't waste your time trying."


"I'm just finishing my 4th month, and going into my 5th out of 6 months of taking Accutane. But it's honestly the best thing you can do to help your acne. The only regret I have is that I didn't go on it earlier. My acne is almost completely gone (I'm 16 years old now, so my hormones are all over the place, which shows you how well Accutane works) and the only signs of it ever being there is some red spots and some scarring left over, but it was there before going on Accutane. The only side effects I have experienced were dry lips/face, my skin around my mouth peeling (just use a moisturizer for that), back and muscle pains, tiredness and mood swings. But so far so good."


"Viagra is the only medicine I have taken long term , ie more than 2 years , it has really been a help for me , without it my erections are much softer , unreliable and short duration , Wife couldn't be happier , only problem was cost , I live in Australia but travel a lot for work in south east asia on one of my business trips to Thailand , I got severe food poisoning and had to go to a local doctor , he asked me if I was taking any medication which might effect the medicine he was prescribing me and I just said the only thing I take is Viagra , he laughed and said you must be rich guy , he asked me if I want to try Thai Viagra called sidegra , it's really cheap here , so from that day forward I've been using sidegra and buying it online."


"I'm on day 5 and it's scabbing, thinking it will be here until day 8-10, it didn't really help speed up healing, and I used it before the blisters appeared, when my lips felt tight in one spot..."


"My dad age 68 has hep c for years, was dealing with cirrhosis of the liver after alcohol issues and dr gave him Harvoni. Please be careful Dr's are not always taking into account if the liver is strong enough when prescribing these meds. Wish I could turn back time and keep my dad from taking it."


"The first 2-3 months were amazing, some spotting but it took my period from 7 days to 4 days, less cramping, not so heavy. there was menstrual cramping but not like before. When I missed my first pill I figured "meh maybe 2 days of spotting" Boy was I wrong, my period has lasted a week and half with cramping and somewhat of heavy flow (very annoying) then again (my fault) I missed another pill, and now I've had my period for a month (& counting) Not my cup of tea. When I didn't have insurance I was paying almost $100 out of pocket, and now that I do I don't think I want to take it anymore.
Everybody is different, I'm just a forgetful person & is the reason for my month long period."


"Everything described by others on Belviq I agree. However, I will summarize my experience by saying I used to Live to Eat and after only 9 days, I now can truly say I Eat to Live. Definitely I feel that I have full control on what to eat and how much to eat at every meal. I am a Type 2 Diabetic.

I started on Belviq 9 days ago on 06/13/13.

Fasting Weight = Lost 4.80 pounds down to 246 from 250.8 or -1.9%

Fasting Glucose down by an average of 49 mg/dL from a base point of 164 mg/dL on 06/13/13 = 115 mg/dL on average.

Weight promoting Insulin Intake was reduced from 100 units to 70 units = 30% decrease.

Next appointment with my Endo on Sept/20, can't wait to see what my next HbA1c will be. Last on 06/04 was 7.2%."


"This medication has been very helpful as a mood stabilizer, along with Seroquel and Klonopin.  It keeps me more "even." Although I have breakthrough depression and some manic symptoms here and there, for most part, it's been useful when it comes to preventing full-blown episodes, along with the other meds.  I hope it continues to do so.  I take 200 mg total daily.  I haven't noticed any side effects, and I've been pretty consistent taking it.  Lamictal takes a long time to titrate up.  It's done me a lot of good.  I'm working long hours and living a productive life."


"I have had bad reactions to metformin in the past but my doctor insisted on my trying Actosplus Met. After a few months I had the same bad reactions. Right now I'm struggling to keep my sugars under control."


"Lomotil made me extremely drowsy and nauseous.  I thought it was my stomach infection, it only happened every 8 hours and after I took the pill."


"Suffered heart attack 12 years ago, then 2 weeks ago suffered severe angina, got scared went to the ER, they ran tests and told me my arteries were severely clogged, need stents put in me, had the stents put in, they put me on Plavix told me I would be on it for life. Well it's been 3 weeks now on the Plavix, love it, so far no side effects."


"Works great on my nerve pains, due to diabetes."


"Worked very well to help with pain management."


"I have been using the OTC differin since maybe Feb. It's been so long. Maybe about 3-4 months. Some spots like around my nose and forehead would get clear for like a day but then I keep having these massive breakouts. Really huge cystic acne on my forehead and the worse around my chin and jawline. It is much worse than when I started using this medication. I have always had hormonal acne. I'm 34 now. In teen/college years you name it I used it, except accutane. I had clear skin for about 8 months of my life. I was seeing a dermatologist and was on spiro and a retinoid. I moved states and trying to avoid the costly Dr visits but I give up, nothing OTC seems to help. After 3-4 months and now tons of scarring from it, this is back like college"


"I've been dealing with depression for a few years recently it had gotten so bad that suicidal thoughts and social withdrawal were really concerning me.  I tried to fight it naturally by taking Super B Complex but to no avail.  Within the last month and a half I've tried Lexapro which did not work for me and now Pristiq which I must say is really helping me.  I'm finally having sex again with my husband.  I didn't know that it was depression that was hindering me and having an orgasm is not a problem at all.  In fact I've become quite frisky.  A lot more talkative and beginning to get together with friends again without as much anxiety.  Anxiety is not completely gone yet but it's only been two weeks.  Loving it!"


"Won't go into details, but horrible chronic back pain. Very happy with Zohydro. I tried a bunch and it's by far the best. Only problem is that it's not easy to find. Hope they fix that soon."


"I am presently taking Ziac (beta blocker with dyazide) for High Blood Pressure. Was going to try this but decided after reading reviews to stick to what I am on and try to lose weight. They all have side effects - I have gone through 10 drugs- been on this 10 years. Good luck to all."


"At 54 I had little energy by day's end. I was falling asleep in chair after dinner. For the first time, ever, my libido, was diminished. And was moody and depressed. Also, had problems concentrating at work. On 60 mgs for a month and all symptoms turned around except libido. Doc moved me ot 90 mgs. I have been on that dosage for 2 weeks and seem to have regular headaches."


"I have been taking zoloft for years to treat  OCD Depression and anxiety. It works great for these however  my orgasm take forever and are significantly less stimulating. Should u try to go off these med from time to time to see if you even need them anymore? Or try a newer med with less sexual side effects."


"I guess the only advice I have is for everyone on or considering this medication to weigh the pros and cons. I've been on the shot for 5 years now, and have recently had to have my frequency increased to every 8 weeks, versus the normal 12. My cycle completely stopped 2 weeks after my first injection. I have only had a few breakthrough bleeds, which have been treated with anti-inflammatory drugs or and additional dose of the Depo. I have had some side effects. I've gained about 15-20 pounds, but it showed up "in the right places". I get very moody occasionally, but I'll take that over amenorrhea any day."


"I had acne, and found doxycycline awesome."


"I got off of this birth control this month because I have gained almost 30lbs since I started it in May and it is now December and I'm gigantic. I got an IUD today and I'm hoping my weight will get under control now."


"Extreme back pain was gone after the first shot. Amazing what this medication does. Only side effect is that it makes you very sleepy which in a way, it could be a good thing so you don't feel the pain (in my case, i found it very useful)."


"Only good thing about this is not  getting pregnant this birth-control pill has made me break out  also I have a sharp pain and feel sick all the time and make my period late"


"Was waking up once or twice a night to urinate, and had to go frequently during day. Had all the typical symptoms of BPH... Insurance would not cover Cialis, but got 20mg Tadalafil tablets from Canada, and cut them in 4 pieces, for an approximate dose of 5mg per day. Works like a charm!

I can now go normal intervals between bathroom breaks, and the 5mg dose seems to make sex last longer. A win-win situation!"


"If you read the other reviews, they are all correct in saying you must NEVER stop taking this medication suddenly.  Coming off this medicine was one of the most difficult things. You must do it very slowly and possibly add some other medications to ease the side effects.  It's so important to have a good doctor to guide you. "


"I feel normal. No sexual side effects like Lexapro.  Less of a fog too."


"I was drowsy for the first two days, but that went away. I don't experience any (noticeable) side effects, but the amount of help that it has provided me isn't too noticeable either. It has helped the highs and lows become a little less intense, but it's still not not doing a great job. This is better than nothing, though."


"This medicine saved my life. It will save yours too if it is not abused."


"This has been a life changer for me. Doctors told my parents I was ADHD as a child and was never tested. While in nursing school my classmates told me that I was horribly distracting and told me I should get tested. So I went and have 14/18 markers for ADHD aderall helps me
Be more productive,I can sit and read and finally complete assignments and helps me with everyday life with being more organized and getting tasks done."


"I was prescribed orlistat by my GP as I was really overweight and recently diagnosed with PCOS. I started these pills in early November of this year, changed my diet to low-fat (still had the odd treat here and there!) and have lost 25lbs since! The side effects can be unpleasant but only if you don't stick to a healthy diet. I rarely do much exercise but tend to walk a lot. Could not be happier! I have around 4st 7lbs left to lose! The only thing that's ever worked for me, love these pills and hope I carry on losing!"


"Nasonex worked great for what it was intended. My nasal passages opened up during the worst allergy season on record, and I didn't want to scratch my face off. I had to stop using it though because it was causing tension headaches and eye weirdness. I even stopped and started again to make sure it was the Nasonex, and it was. Oh well. It's worth trying if your insurance covers it, otherwise it's $200+..."


"I have dealt with moderate to severe depression on/off since my early 20s (I'm now almost 40). I have several antidepressants and found Zoloft was the only med that worked, so I remained on a dose of 100 mg for almost 10 years. I did try to wean myself off on 3 separate occasions, as I no longer wanted to be on pharma drugs, but every time I had terrible withdrawal symptoms. I finely decided to try St. John's Wort instead. I have been on 900mg daily for close to 1 year. St. John's Wort was helpful in combating the withdrawal symptoms I continued to have even weeks after discontinuing the Zoloft, but I continue to have mild depressed mood with irritability. I am going to stop St. John's Wort and try 5-HTP."


"Almost immediately I felt better. At 2-3 hours of sleep at night, I had a good 15 hours (along with 3mg of melatonin) of sleep the first night. A little groggy my 1st hour awake. Two weeks in, I'm up 3lbs, which I needed. Love it. Zoloft was the devil at 75mg/day. Thankful to my doctor for prescribing it."


"Today is my second day with metronidazole 500 mg and I have to take it 3 times a day for 5 days and I feel great . The only problem I have is that I can't go to sleep and every juice I take it taste metal to me . Every time I take the pill my heart rate goes from 80 to a 100 in like minutes and the pill taste like metal . But I love it .. I feel so much better now, than I was before . I mean I still have some things but it's getting there .."


"Was put on this drug roughly a year ago started at 20mg  it litterarally turned my life around It gave me great symptom relief all day with little to no side effects unfortunately after 6 months this medication slowly lost  it's effectiveness I am now on 80mg a day and only get roughly 2-3 hour symptom relief which is dissapointing but expected due to tolerance so I will be changing medication soon. But I have to say while it worked ritalin la was the best medication i have been on yet with very little side effects.."


"I am so glad I found this site and saw other people's experiences.  This drug works to prevent pregnancy, but I have a week with a light period, then a week of a normal period.  I have also been experiencing extreme mood swings.  I thought it was just me and the stress factor of having 3 young children to keep up with and that I am homeschooling the older ones.  Something just kept telling me that it was the birth control doing it.  I will be calling my dr. in the morning and switching!!"


"I've had psoriasis for several years and it continued to increase in area and intensity until recently when I discovered calamine lotion which I always thought was just for poison ivy.  After only a few applications, I had dramatic improvement.  And it's only a couple of dollars. The only downside is that I have to clean it off when I go out in shorts."


"I had surgery yesterday. I always end up so sick and vomiting when I wake up. This time the anesthesiologist gave me a scopolamine patch and zofran before I woke up - and I felt perfectly fine! I only took off one point because it dried me out and I have some trouble urinating (I still can, but it takes longer to come out).

I see other people report withdrawal after stopping it. I hope that doesn't happen to me. I was only on it one day."


"Although this has greatly reduced my migraines in frequency and severity, the week after receiving it I go into extreme anxiety and weepiness that is crippling. It makes me nauseous and low. It subsides after about a week."


"Had side effects - not even understanding it was from this medication. Went to Doctors many times with flu like, systems and breathing problems with chest pains. After stopping this medication after being on it for months, it has now been a week, my breathing still has not returned to normal as of yet. PLEASE if you have any flu like symptoms, breathing problems, or even seem to just have a change in your voice, stop taking this medicine and see your doctor."


"I was just recently diagnosed with high intracranial pressure with no papilledema and a huge blind spot I my left eye. I was told that a spinal tap would only cause a leak since I have a connective tissue disorder. I got an MRI and CT and everyone said they were normal excect for Dr. Driscoll. She started me on diamox and it has done wonders!!! I can see at dark now and I don't have constant eye pain/pressure, neck pain or problems sleeping. I have to sleep with a soft cervical collar and had to raise the head of my bed to make sure the fluid continues to drain even when sleeping. I do have numbness and tingling but it's more amusing to me than painful. It is difficult to keep your CO2 levels at 22 but use alkaline h20"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Let me first agree with all the comments that it doesn't taste good. But it is much better for me than my previous experience with Golitely which did not. Be sure to chill everything thoroughly before starting...I used a very long drink straw and put it to the upper rear of my mouth so it mostly went past my tongue and it isn't too bad that way with a Gatorade green apple chaser.  I had much less cramping and appears to have done the intended job well. Just be near the toilet and tell your family to not get in the way."


"I'm 32 and have been on this drug for about 8 months now. For me, it's been incredible. I am no longer on an emotional roller coaster and definitely more patient and no where as near irritable as I used to be. I'm on a dosage of 120 mg daily. I take it at night before I sleep. However, a possible side effect for me is hypothyroidism - but, I did have hyperthyroidism as a child so I don't know if Strattera caused it to come back as hypo or it's because of my age. I did unfortunately gain considerable weight, but with the thyroid pills, I have been slowly losing it again."


"This drug did nothing to help me sleep. I tried 10 mg to start and felt no difference. 15 mg also gave me no results but a shaky feeling in the morning. I tried 20 mg which also just made me feel shaky the next day. I had no change in sleep patterns and continued to wake up after 2hrs and every hour after. I did the ten day free trial."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 years now and it's worked fine thus far. My weight maintained stable, no acne, I haven't had any more mood swings than I would if I wasn't on it and obviously I haven't gotten pregnant after having unprotected sex. My only complaint is that every once in a while I get some spotting for a few days."


"Caused migraines and blurred vision."


"It was great, take it at night though to avoid stomach trouble. But it worked great no acne or bleeding."


"I started out like the person probably reading these reviews, your trying to be optimistic about this product.  I started wearing all black, my confidence was gone. And this continued on through High School. I'd go play pool at a friends house or play Basketball at his house and I'd wear sweaters or hoodies to hide the stains. I went through every antiperspirant known, I even tried shaving my pits. Then just last week I tried Drysol for the first time. That night I put it on, I instantly regained confidence. Only the next day, it didn't seem to work. First day of grade 11. Sure I was nervous. So I gave it a go again, and from there on out, I've been dry. So give this product some time to work. I give you my word, this product will work."


"I have been a opiate addict for 10 years as well as other things too; such as MARJ., METH, COKE, BENZOS, BASICALLY anything to get high. I have recently just got done doing 6 months in jail and like in the past I knew the streets would be waiting when I got out so I immediately went to a Doctor to get on this MIRICLE DRUG I've heard about called Suboxone, needless to say I haven't used since. THANK YOU SUBOXONE CREATOR. I wish I would have known about this years ago so I could have saved my family and myself ALOT of HEART-ACHE as well as a lot of money I've blown over the years. If someone is truly ready to turn their life around from doing drugs then Suboxone is truly here for you and it will help you stay on the right path in this journey of life."


"Have been on it for over a year, works ok at this point, still having some fatigue and still have pain and swelling in feet and hands. Also take plaquinil so this maybe helping also. Would love to feel as good as the people on benlysta :)"


"I was put on Gildess 4 months ago for birth control and I loved it. My period always came on time. It was always light and short. Then CVS switched me to Blisovi about a month and a half ago. I missed a period. I've been extremely emotional. And the worst part is, my body feels like it's falling apart. One day my hands hurt and I can't move them. The next couple days, my knee feels broken. Then when that pain goes away, my shoulder feels out of place. It's just never ending pain! I mean it works as a contraceptive obviously. But this pain has been unbearable. I wouldn't recommend this pill..."


"Had the Mirena IUD placed during surgery in June 2015. I had spotting and bleeding for a while afterwards. OB/GYM said it takes up to 9 months to adjust. Most recently very light periods, now no period.

I'm told my hair and skin look heathier, I look like I'm losing weight, I've noticed my nails are growing. Most recently though my sex drive has decreased.

I'm 41, and choose this because the man I was with couldn't use latex condoms due to an allergy.

Overall I'm happy with it."


"I began taking qsymia last year from May2014 - Oct2014 and lost 30lbs. Had to stop taking since I ran out of money on my FSA and couldn't afford it out of pocket. I will say I had major dry mouth which led me to drink lots of water and of course that's great for weight loss. Completely changed my tasted buds, no longer desired sugar foods - cakes, cookies, etc or pop (Diet Pepsi drinker). Side effect: no energy, struggled greatly on my job. I read a post someone recommending taking l-tyrosine 500mg for energy. I did along w/ my daily multi-vitamins, and it made a world of difference!!  I did gain my 30lb back being off, but I'm back on qsymia and ready to take it off and more this time and stick with it!!"


"I was put on this about two years ago. My periods are shorter, my anxiety is gone, not as much breast pain, no headaches EVER I can't remember the last time I had one and have not gotten pregnant.

My only complain: stretch marks. I have so many stretch marks now from this birth control on my lower belly/thigh/groin/hip area. I have gained some weight (college) but my weight has always fluctuated. These stretch marks are insane.

Otherwise, the medication is great."


"I got the implant in Jan 2017 my period came left for a few days and then I started spotting (I guess that's what u would call it) for a whole month. I got it removed in March 2017 and I still have not stopped  this spotting. It would stop for a day or not even a few hrs. And it's back spotting. B4 I had no problem with the plumbing  downstairs but since I got this thing removed it's hard for me to get things going and stay going. Like it really sucks. It's now  been 2.5 weeks since I got it removed and the spotting has yet to stop. I didn't recommend this to my worst enemy it's just not worth it at all. I know it's just not for me...."


"I was a body builder and personal trainer active in my career until I got a kidney removed due to a tumor and was diagnosed with hypothyroid at 65. My GP did not wanted to give Ambien, instead he prescribed some other medication for psychotic people and I stopped it. Another doctor gave the Ambien, which I have been taking, 5mg. However, lately is giving me headaches, I wake up a few times at night and can't go back to sleep. Feel tired and disconnected. I need to stop and I am afraid of the process."


"I would give a lot to have NEVER taken Femara!  It aged me 20 years in a few months.  I took it for more than six years before I told my oncologist I would not take it any more.  It was killing me!  I was sleeping an average of two hours a night......a "good" night was five hours every ten to fourteen days.  The other side effects were awful!

Femara did NOT keep the cancer from coming back!  It is KNOWN to weaken the bones, and the cancer is now rampant in my bones!"


"I've had fibromyalgia now since I was in my 30's, I am now 63.  Back then, I was told It was depression, all in my head, you name it.  I tried several Medications, nothing helped, until I tried Savella.  It's a miracle medication for me, although I take the highest dose allowed, 100mg 2x a day.  The only problem, it's very expensive.  My prescription plan pays some, but I'm stuck with a bill of about $1200 a year.  Unfortunately, I can not get help because I inherited my Moms IRA that has $35,000 in it...Sad they can't make this a generic drug ☹.  I feel trapped because I feel like I need thus medication to survive."


"I think this may be my third review of Strattera, I still give it a high rating because all in all it has done what it was supposed to do. I've had some bad migraines, while on it, and I've gone off it a few times, because I couldn't fill the script or felt like it wasn't working, but I have always come back to taking it in the past four years. My current dose is 25mg, and I also take Adderall, 10mg twice a day. If I had to describe Strattera, it is a great focus/ motivation medication, but it also ups the anxiety, and adderall seems to up it even more. My doctor really doesn't have another solution than to take ativan. Coffee makes Strattera worse, but sometimes it won't kick in without the morning coffee."


"Just switched from the patch, so far good. I love it, don't know it's there, can't feel it during sex, easy and simple. "


"Works well for me after finding dose that was equiv to the Oxy regimen I was on before being switched to this. Definitely recommend the diet recommended in directions, works better that way"


"Taking 0.4mg x 1 daily in the evening. Started two weeks ago. Doctor took me off Hytrin (terazosin 10mg).  After two weeks my flow is less than on Hytrin.  My frequency and urge to pee is higher than on Hytrin. My volume of output is less. This is the second time a doctor took me off Hytrin to put me on a "better", newer, drug. In both cases these other medicines didn't work as well as Hytrin. Will continue the Flomax for one more week just in case it has something to do with building up in blood levels."


"Belsomra offers a voucher for FREE (10 days of 10mg, 10 days of 15mg and 10 days of 20mg) so I tried them all and now I am going to use the voucher for $3 ($90 a month) a pill if your insurance requires a payment of more than $150 and $1 ($30 a month) a pill if insurance requires a payment of less than $150 since I haven't met my deductible.   I was just visiting this site to see how long it takes for the dosage to level off since I am feeling a little drowsy on the 20mg. So if you need to try it to save a little money use the vouchers.  I love this pill since I was taking amitriptyline before and was always so exhausted the next day.  I think I will try the 20mg for the month and back down to the 15mg if I am exhausted by the next refill"


"I have had anxiety all my life and I am now 63 years old. About 3 years ago my life spun out of control with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder and I was not functional as a human being. I tried Buspar to start and it did nothing to help me then I tried Zoloft and I could not handle the side effects. Finally I got on brand name Lexapro which started helping me. Once I leveled off at 40 mg per day I resumed being my normal self. About a month ago I switched to generic escitalopram and now I am noticing I am not as happy and I am having anxiety symptoms again. I am going back to brand name immediately. I don't care what anyone says brand is better than generic and there is a difference."


"Work miracles to keep Lyme in check, does not necessarily eradicate it.  Took about 4 years since infection for Lyme to get a foothold before I was able to get proper medical attention.  On badly spread lyme, expect severe side effects -- much of it, so I have been told -- have to do with chemicals resulting from the bacteria dying rather than the doxycycline itself: Severe depression and suicidal thoughts that disappeared as soon as I finished the medication (discomfort, but at least I was able to put up with it knowing it would pass once the six-week 500mg/day was up).

Also, take with proper meals -- I've woken up to throw up blood when taken in empty stomach.  Also, stay out of direct sunlight, or, if possible, take during winter months"


"I've been on this medication for about 6 months now. I really love it. The first period i had on this pill was pretty rough. Like crazy heavy with lots of clots/tissue. But that was a one time thing. Then I would spot for two weeks at a time and that got annoying. But Now my periods are very light and last only a few days but still with same period symptoms. So far no weight gain at all but my breasts have gotten huge! I was an A cup and now I'm a C. My skin is also very clear! I don't really have any complaints!"


"I started taking 30mg of Cymbalta about a month ago. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and was prescribed Cymbalta mainly for depression, but I must say that Cymbalta has significantly helped the chronic pain. I had side effects the first two weeks or so, but they mostly went away. As far as depression goes though, it hasn't really helped me."


"I've been taking this for a month and I can't stand it. I was on Loestrin for 4 years and switched to Minastrin (same thing) and my breasts were insanely sore to a point I couldn't wear a bra. My insurance also stopped covering so I switched. Noticed an IMMEDIATE difference in my attitude. Also my sex drive is completely gone. It's impossible for me to self lubricate. Absolutely impossible. They thought I should give it more time to get my body used to it but sex is so painful and unsatisfying I can't even deal with it. Never had this issue before Junel."


"I've been taking zoloft for a few years for ocd, starting with 20 milligrams per day and increasing to 40. It has helped me greatly with my obsessions, but not my compulsions. Of the two, I have always thought the obsessions were worse, so I think it has been a successful medicine for me. And so far, I have experienced no side effects. I also take zocor for cholesterol and have had no negative interaction."


"Really took a solid six months to work it made me drowsy during the day. I started taking it at night and it really took off my depression is gone and I sleep better. Taking it at night made a huge difference for some reason. I still have mood swings but my wife says they are much more in the normal range. I wish I would have found this pill when I was 15 my life would have been better and easier. I would recommend this drug to anyone and experimenting with different time of day if it's not initially working."


"Diclegis helps but it does not work completely.  You will still have vomiting and have to take often if your morning sickness is severe.  It can make you very tired and give you an out of sorts feeling.  It was expensive as well at 40.00 a week worth of pills."


"I have been taking Lutera for 7 months now. The first 3 months I hard horrible, painful bloating every time I ate anything. That has subsided, but I have gained a lot of weight, my hair and finger nails are growing rapidly, but are very brittle, my acne has gotten worse, my breasts are larger and more tender, and I get frequent headaches.

I have been on several other birth control pills and they all gave me insane mood swings. I don't seem to have that problem with this pill."


"Propranolol is a miracle for me. Not only does it stop my tremor, which had made writing almost impossible, but it also is the medicine of choice for my Premature Atrial Contraction which caused heart palpitations. I'm only on 80 mg, but it's enough to allow me to do my work and write neat enough to be read. My dad who is 75 is on a higher dose and his tremor is quite noticeable even with the medicine. I'm not looking forward to getting older with this tremor."


"I've used the one time applicator and 3. I didn't make it through the three because the first burned so badly. The one time wasn't as nearly bad and I did feel better after but I feel like it shouldn't get this worse before better. I don't recommend! Just go to your doctor"


"I have been taking this medication for 3 weeks now and have noticed that my moods have stabilized.  I feel like this medication is really working in that respect and helping to make mine and my family's life much better.  So far, this medicine works!"


"I was on LoSeasonique for almost a year. The first few months were great, some spotting every now and then but nothing major. About 2 months ago, I took a pill one day late. Consequently, I have been spotting for the entire two months. My gyno tried everything, putting me on a weeks worth of estrogen and then a regimen of taking multiple pills a day for week. Nothing worked. I've been miserable and bloated and have gained a few pounds.

Before this, I really liked this pill. If you take it, make sure you take it at the SAME time every single day. She said pills with this low dose of hormones are more likely to to do this. I'm currently having to switch to another pill just to make the bleeding stop."


"I was prescribed this drug following back surgery. It worked very well initially for pain also providing a calming effect. Over the next 5 months it pretty much stopped working for the pain and the side effects became very worrying. I could not think straight and was dangerously clumbsy. I was is a malaise and did not wish to do anything so I decided to quit. I followed the instructions to taper over at least a week, then the real problems began. This is a horrendous drug to come off, I had to reinstate as I went out of my mind. I am now tapering at 10% as and when I can. I feel so unwell, anxiety has spiralled, depression, suicidal thoughts, insomnia, lack of appetite, sweats, the list could go on it has been a hellish period."


"I experienced little to no side effects on this birth control. I did experience some spotting and nausea when I first began, but that subsided after a few days. I began to feel very nauseous during my first non-hormone week (which I confused as morning sickness), so be aware of that. I had acne before starting, and Aubra neither cleared this nor worsened my skin. Overall, very effective and a great choice!"


"It's been one month and after a few bumps I feel great!  I'm taking it before bed and I'm on maintenance 1.8 for now. I've lost 13 pounds!   Only side effect is headaches but I also am on the Keto diet so it could be that.  No fruits no carbs lots of coconut and healthy fats.  I'm super excited to get back in shape!"


"I have suffered from migraines for as long as I can remember. Tried everything then my Dr. Gave me Fioricet and I love it gets rid of migraines when I'm out I will use Ibuprofen as I AM a recovering Addict and don't want to rely solely on this medicine to get rid of headaches. No more ER visits for this chick!"


"It has been about 3 months now since I started taking it and I am down 25lbs. I am at the second dosage and the only side effect I have is constipation but my doctor has given me Miralax to help  me with that. In the beginning my LFT's were elevated and this past week for my 3 month check up all my labs are normal. I will continue because I have a long way to go along with my diet and exercise but with my new found motivation I am going to get there."


"I take a 75 mg dose, and it really makes a difference, I still have an underlying tenderness in the toes and the pads of my feet, but at least I can walk. I am looking for an alternative for it as the cost to me is excessive."


"I am taking 2mg three times a day for anxiety. The anxiety is much better now and I can go places without having panic attacks. I feel the best I have felt in a long time."


"I got switched to this from yaz. The worst month of my life. Terrible mood swings, anxiety, not to mention I bled through the entire pack. I don't recommend this to anyone"


"I was very worried to take this medicine after reading some of the reviews. I thought I would rather let the flu run its course instead of taking the medicine and risk getting sick to my stomach. I made sure to take the meds after eating a snack on the larger side/a meal and did not have a problem. My stomach felt a little upset about 2 hours after taking it, but not for very long. Within 10 hours of taking the first pill I could already see results. My 102 degree fever had went away and I was able to function again. That night I was sweating quite a bit, but I believe it was my fever breaking. I was a little tired the next day, I'm guessing from being worn down from the flu, but had no fever. It is definitely worth taking, but with food."


"I am a 70 year old woman. I have spinal stenosis. Each day I wake up thinking I won't need to take Vicodin today, but I do. I take 2 when the pain starts and it always takes the pain away. If I wait too long to see if the "PAIN WILL GET BETTER BY ITSELF" I'm only fooling myself. It never gets better by itself! My doctor tells me not to worry about addiction, that he knows how often I take it and he keeps track. So I let him do it."


"I have been on it for over a month now , no real side affects but great weight loss . I was 73 kilos I am now down to 66 kilos .  I have hashimotos thyroid disease so it was a complete struggle to lose weight after having my son . I'm just worried as I had a read that when testing this in the lab the animals they tested it on got cancer ...... feeling stressed now i wish i didn't read it .."


"June 2015 I was in an accident as a passenger and I developed a fear of driving, and my PTSD was triggered. I've been diagnosed prior to the accident with GAD, Bipolar, Panic Disorder, Depression and PTSD. After a month of panic attacks my psych prescribed me Zoloft 50mg, I had terrible side effects. Mine were heightened because I was on an SSRI months before. I felt uneasy when I'd take the medication so I was put on Lamictal 50mg (will go to 100mg). Panic attacks were gone by the third week, and side effects were gone by the fourth week. All I can say is if you doubt the medication is working, ride it out. I second guessed this medicine because of how bad my side effects were, I'm in the fifth week of taking it and I feel amazing."


"I've been diagnosed with bipolar type 1 for 7 months now and have been taking Seroquel along with another drug. I take 300mg twice a day of Seroquel and find it extremely wonderful. I find it keeps my manic and psychotic symptoms at bay, however they're not totally eradicated but minimal, and helps with my insomnia very much. For me I've only found that it made me drowsy for the first 2 weeks of taking it, some dizziness and it gives me dry mouth enough to be irritating but manageable. As for the eating I haven't noticed any real big change I've kept a stable weight and even lost some (healthily) when I do get munchies for sweets or otherwise I just have crackers or some fruits and veggies around and try to keep a balanced eating scheme."


"If you have any history with anxiety and/or depression, stay FAR away from this pill. I have been on Orsythia for 4 months and it's been miserable. My anxiety is thru the roof, I have panic attacks weekly and throughout the month I would go into a depression where I would just be hating on myself and be completely sad for no reason at all. I also didn't get my period during any of the "period week" (placebo pills week), instead I would get a period week 2-3 of my pill pack. It also made my breasts hurt for the 2 months, and made me have little to no appetite, I lost 20 pounds while taking this. Sharing my experience so other girls don't have to go thru the same thing. I am using condoms as a contraceptive now, and it is sooo much better."


"The depression, feelings of worthlessness, suicidal thoughts and chronic anger have all eased somewhat since I started taking Celexa (10mg). I've been on it for about two months and have noticed a marked difference. Sleeping okay after insomnia at first. No decrease in sex drive (male), but definite decrease in ability. Hoping that doesn't last. Although some days I feel like my old self, mostly I feel better. Life has become more clear to me, my relationship with my wife appears to be improving, and this has allowed me to begin forgiving myself. Long road ahead. I wish you all the best."


"I have a very stressful life. After my mother passing in 2005, I started having major anxiety. It truly was debilitating my entire life. My Dr put me on 0.05 mg twice a day to help. It was the BEST thing I ever did. I have been on them for 8 yrs now's. I'm 32 and a mother of 4. There are days when I really feel the anxiety peek and I take one. Its the only thing that will work within 15-20 mins. It really has helped me tremendously. I can take my meds as prescribed and still am able to take care of home, kids and work feeling normal. I would suggest this for anyone how has anxiety or panic attacks or tons of stress."


"Was given this in the ER for nausea. It killed the nausea, sure, but I was so anxious! I felt as though if I stayed in that hospital bed another second I was going to go crazy. When I was released I raced home and took Xanex to try and combat the anxiety. It's been about 26 hours since I was injected and I still have the urge to move and run around, like restless leg syndrome. I'd rather just be nauseous!"


"I am 23 with adult onset acne. I have tried so many things from natural products (honey, banana, cinnamon etc.) to about every store bought product in existence! Nothing helped.
I've been on Epiduo for 4 days and have noticed my acne is already stopping. However, area on my face are very dry with peeling, red, itchy and painful to touch. Basically feels like a bad sunburn!
I do expect that this should go away from other reviewers results and plan to use a recommended lotion and avoid putting the Epiduo on the dry area of my face for now. I am also on amoxicillin twice daily.

I would recommend this so far!"


"I have been using the 5% minoxodil for 4 months now, and I have all kinds of new little hairs. A lot of them are coming in very dark. The top of my scalp is already much fuller."


"I take allergy preparations year round, Claritin in fall and winter, and Allegra spring and summer. Both claim to be effective immediately, (within hours) however, my experience is that it takes a week for them to work, so, for a week in spring, and a week in the fall, I take both, otherwise I am miserable with runny nose itchy eyes, sore throat, etc. Both claim to be non drowsy, but for me this is not the case, so I take them at night. I give allegra a middle of the road 5 as a rating, because it's better than nothing!"


"I am in the UK.  I was on the anti muscarinics for years until sadly, the side effects became too serious to continue (severe muscle pains and weakness).  When I stopped these, my bladder went into major rebound! My GP prescribed Mirabegron 25mgs which I have been taking this for a week with no noticeable improvement.  The medication does take a while to take effect and I will persevere.  However, I have read research articles which suggest that the doses of 50mgs or 100mgs were needed for benefit.  I can't find anything to say that 25mgs is a therapeutic dose to control OAB.  Anyone have any ideas or knowledge on this?"


"I started to take complera 1 year ago when viral load was 1700 a d cd4 490. and I had immediately some side effects like a lot of gas some headache and diarrhea. But they stopped 1 month after taking pills after 2 months of this medication I started to feel like losing balance a bjt depressed and a bit dizzy as well. I got tested with a ct brain radiography and it was negative thank god. Then I got tested with cognitive exams and everything is good. So I suppose it must be complera. At the moment my viral load is undetectable and cd4 are 743."


"I have yet to figure this medication out.  I have been on it for about 15 days.  I take it when I first wake up with 16 ounces of water.  I always wait AT LEAST 30 minutes to eat, often much longer.  Some days, I have very bad diarrhea from it and other days I have some passing cramps with no bowel movement it all.  Without it, I can't really have a bowel movement on my own so this beats that but still, I wish it worked a little better.  Running to the bathroom while at work, hoping I make it is not an ideal outcome. I did have the $30 co-pay card from my doctor so that helped with the cost but I think it's only good for one month."


"Hypo Tears are the ONLY eyedrops that relieve my dry eyes.  I have used this brand for 30 years.  I hope they are never discontinued or reformulated, as they are the only ones that WORK for me.  I have tried every other eyedrop on the market, including Restasis, and none of them relieve the dryness, and many if not most, actually make it worse."


"I have been on Oxycontin for about eight years now, and I rate it as lifesaving. I can assure you that with four spinal surgeries and a failed hip replacement, no other drug including morphine has given me back the quality of life that Oxycontin has."


"When I first began using the mesalamine, my symptoms quickly went away. And when they popped back up, I started to use the mesalamine again and, in the same day, my symptoms were almost completely gone."


"I am 17 and I've been on this pill for about 10 days now and LOVE IT. Weighing on the smaller side with very miniscule breasts, this pill has helped me gain extra weight and has already helped my breasts grow. I was only a tad nauseous on the first day but I found my mood was overall happier and I have a great amount of energy. I am very happy with the results of this pill and how well it has worked for me. I was worried at first but once I had some food and got through the night, I realized that oral birth control is really a gift. If you were like me and worried sick over this pill then just look at all of the benefits that tiny pill can offer you and the security you gain. Thumbs up all the way."


"I've been on Kariva for 8 years with no problems (before Kariva I was on the brand name Mircette - same thing). Four years ago, with the blessings of my gynecologist, I stopped taking the 4th week all together. Haven't had my period for four years, no breakthrough bleeding, no spotting, no worries."


"I am on my third week of treatment. Just four weeks ago I was apathetic and depressed. I had been treated for depression with an antidepressant. After two weeks my depression was all but gone. I noticed an increase in strength, libido and initiative. I have taken care of maintenance my home needed in two years in two weeks. I use mine a little different. I use the 5g 50mg daily. I am glad that my psychologist suggested blood work for low Testosterone. It was the correct diagnosis."


"I took this medication a few years back. Although I read the side effects, I never imagined that I would have a bad reaction to the medication. This medication worked great in controlling my asthma. However, I became very depressed, suffered from anxiety and just not me. It didn't happen immediately, but people started noticing a difference. I started noticing a difference. I never had a history of any of that stuff. After I came off the medication I was back to being me. For me, the side effects weren't worth it"


"Started phentermine on March 12, 2014, starting weight 207lbs, and I'm 5'8. As of May 15, 2014 I weigh 174lbs, that's 33 pounds in nine weeks. No exercise at all, did the Atkins low carb diet with the phentermine 37.5mg dose. Dry mouth, some sleeplessness. Now do one day on pills, one day off. Works very well."


"My husband and I quit with Chantix 3 1/2 years ago - and yes, we're still non-smokers.  Chantix is truly the "magic pill" we used to joke about.  We had each been smoking for 30  years and decided to quit when the price started skyrocketing here in NY state.  We had our last cigarettes on March 5, 2009.  We actually continued smoking for 2 weeks on Chantix, just because we had cigarettes left and decided to finish off what we had.  After a week the cigarettes started tasting very, very bad.  It got to the point that we were barely smoking a half of each cigarette.  Now, I can't stand the smell of cigarettes and can tell immediately if someone is a smoker.  I NEVER thought I'd be able to quit, but I did!"


"I was told this drug would fix my symptoms in 12 months but I had to take it for almost 10 years and my hormone levels fluctuated greatly over that time."


"I have been using Gabapentin (300 mg twice daily) for about a month now, and I am very happy with it. I had been plagued by anxiety for most of my life (I'm 47 now), and my anxiety reached intolerable levels in the last year or so due to a very demanding new job. I finally decided I needed some sort of medication, and after trying Wellbutrin (thumbs down), I asked for Gabapentin. This med is doing exactly what I needed it to do: it is reducing my fears, uncontrollable worries, and hair-trigger adrenaline response to almost zero. Those bad feelings are down to like 2 out of 10, and before it was usually like 8 or 9.  Wish I'd started taking it a long time ago!"


"I got this rod in Feburary of 2015. The first 3 months I had no problem. I ended up bleeding every single day after the first 3 months. I never went one day with out bleeding. I also developed horrible acne after never having acne in my life. I ultimately did not get pregnant but sex became very unpleasant to the point I was disgusted by the idea of sex. My uturian wall became so thin I would have pain and bled every time I had sex. Not for me"


"I just started this medication two days ago and felt the effects within the same day. It was an absolute miracle like a curse was lifted off of me. I'll have to wait a few weeks and be observant of its effects, which so far have only been decrease in appetite. All in all this drug saved my life"


"I have had knee problems for the last 10 years of my life and I've tried so many types of Physical Therapy and medications throughout those years. Nothing has worked better than the Mobic. I can't take a lot of medicines like ibuprofen because I have severe stomach issues and Mobic is great on my tummy. Thanks for giving me my life back."


"STAY AWAY!!!!!! I REPEAT ... STAY AWAY!!!! Do not use this product or else your vagina will buuuuurrrrrrrrrrn. My poor lady part. I read reviews before purchasing and thought well it cant be that bad cause yeast infections have burning and itching anyways so whats the big deal. Bad, bad, bad idea. Worst money ever spent. Ladies - call your doctor and get prescription pills. Don't put this ovule inside you. I put it in about 2 hrs ago.. All the sudden I'm leaking white goop and it itches badddddd and my insides were on fire. Worse itching burning I've ever had in my life OMG OW!!!!!"


"I occasionally get severe hiccups that only last 24 to 36 hours but when I get them I gasp for air I have 30 and 40 hiccups at the same time and Rapid concession and I'm fighting to breathe and then I'll throw up, mostly stomach bile. I'm in the hospital recovering from a surgery on my leg and I got the hiccups earlier this afternoon and I took a muscle relaxer and it didn't do anything the doctor prescribed me some Thorazine which I have never had and within 10 minutes of the injection in my arm my hiccups are completely gone I am a True Believer"


"I suffered from cystic acne for years. Doryx totally and completely has changed my life. I rarely even get a pimple around the time of my period anymore. When I first started Doryx, (5 months ago) I was taking 150 mg daily. Now, I take 75mg every other day. I can't praise this drug enough! Life changing, I wish I had started taking it years ago."


"Vyvanse is hands down, in my opinion, the best ADHD medication out there. I was on Concerta from the ages of 7-13, then again from 20-21. I received genetic testing and it came back that my body doesn't metabolize Concerta very well. So the doctor gave me Adderall, which was too harsh with the come up and come down. Then made the switch to Vyvanse. Best decision.

#1. You don't crash when you are on it. It has the smoothest come up and come down compared to Adderall and Concerta.
#2. Vyvanse lasts a good 10-14 hours in the body
#3. It has the longest duration of action
#4. It has low addiction potential
#5. It also is the only one that helps manage my binge eating disorder"


"I had the depo shot for years and loved it but had to be taken off of it since I was on it so long. So the recommended skyla. I was really scared because I had previously had the mirena and I ended up in the er from the pain. But I decided since she said it was smaller to try it. The placement was extremely painful but keep in mind that I'm only 96 lbs and have a very small uterus. During and after placement that day, I had a lot of pain and dizziness and was pretty nauseous. But the next day the pain has definitely gotten a lot better and it seems like this will be a great birth control. I would recommend it, but I would recommend taking any pain medication before and after if you are a small person and haven't had any kids."


"I have recently gotten of the shot, but I was on it for about a year and a half. I got on it when I was 17, for my periods, and it does indeed live up to its name for stopping periods. However, I gained about thirty five pounds on the shot. I'm very active, and have a proper diet for a girl my age, so it's likely the hormones. But that's not the reason I got off it, I started lactating out of my breasts about a month ago. Yes, I told my doctor and we took 2 pregnancy tests, and I am not pregnant. So, in short, I'll give you a quick pros and cons list
Pros: Prevents pregnancy (I do not use condoms with my partner), stops periods
Cons: weird side effects, mood swings, nausea, constipation, weight gain, breast growth, hair loss, fatigue."


"The insertion was incredibly painful. And while it is very effective for a very long time I wouldn't recommend it to any one because it caused me terrible pains during my cycle and occasionally off cycle of have very strong and painful cramping. I could only stand it for 1.5 years before having to get it removed."


"My husband was prescribed this medication since insurance won't cover Androgel.  It literally smells like dead animal.  Anyone who says women love this stuff is delusional.  It makes both of us gag."
