"Hi I'm a 33 year old female with endometriosis and full hysterectomy and no gallbladder.  I took it last night at about 9pm and had my first bm at 5 am.  I was able to go back to sleep after.   Some cramping but nothing I can't handle.  No worse than child birth or endometriosis pain.  Plus much rather be empty and not all backed up with poo you know.  I have been going to the bathroom all day but it is no longer uncomfortable, it is just liquid.  Just staying at home and hanging out at the pool and staying hydrated.  And I feel much more relief than I did yesterday. My bm are further and further apart as the day goes on and I get closer to the 24 hour mark."


"I was on Flagyl for a week and it seemed like the longest week ever! The pill is very effective but it tastes HORRIBLE! I'm so glad today was my last day"


"After having some issues with what could be classified as PMDD, I went on a search for ways to help alleviate the mood swings I got every month around the time of Aunt Flows visit. After googling around, Yaz was the number one remedy that I found, so I went to Planned Parenthood, got a prescription, and tried it out for a month.

Let's just say my PMDD went away... but I was in crying fits and had really bad anxiety for about 80% of the month. Nothing new has come up for me that would cause those issues, and it is very abnormal for me to cry that much and have uncontrollable anxiety. In short, this drug made me a crazier and depressed. It sucked! I've been off of it for two days and I'm finally feeling better. Nope! Not for me."


"Quick-acting relief from all sorts of pain, esp. after hip replacement and (more recent) double hernia surgery. Only complaint is that it interferes with normal bowel function, requiring occasional stool softener and cathartic."


"I have severe sleep problems and now take 50mg of doxepin nightly. I fall asleep and stay asleep. I have tried numerous other meds and most either don't work or work for only a short period of time, this has not been a problem with doxepin."


"Zomig works wonders for me for migraines. The only side effect I typically have is hearing my pulse in my right ear. Annoying (and weird), but not a deal-breaker. I take a high dose of Effexor and have no interactions that I know of. However, I once took it with Ambien and that was a big mistake as even the next day I felt off-balanced and weak. I also try not to take it within 4 hours of Tylenol for similar reasons. It's nice to have a medicine that works so well, so consistently."


"I started on Paxil late 1990s for panic disorders and depression...I am 5'6" and was about 118lbs. Stayed on Paxil about 4 years and came off because I wanted to get pregnant.  It saved my life truly I felt great and I was able to enjoy driving again, going to the mall, able to take an elevator, able to stay at home alone, wait on lines at supermarkets, work without fear of losing it, etc.  after coming off very slowly the good effects lasted about a year. However, while on Paxil I gained 60lbs. After my son was born in 2004 I had postpartum depression so again went back in Paxil it didn't work as good as the first time but it helped get me back to feeling just alright.  Came off again due to more weight gain."


"After 6 years of different meds that never worked I was put on 20mg of latuda. Didn't do anything, didn't work at all. Doc upped it to 40mg. Taking 40mg gave me maybe 3 weeks of terrible headaches and nausea. Then one morning I woke up and actually felt good, well rested, clear-headed...was such a strange feeling to me. Then I turned on some music and I actually FELT music again, I started dancing around while getting ready. Started reaching out socially, started exercising, and started actually taking a shower every morning again! I can not express in words how good and normal I feel, I actually feel things again. Latuda did a 180 degree change on my life, thanks to the researchers who created this drug, you guys are amazing!"


"I have Hereditary Depression, Bipolar Type 2, PTSD, High Anxiety, Insomnia, I also had some bad Paranoia issues at the time prescribed because of an insane stalker. I have taken over 50 medication combinations. This by far is the worst drug I have ever taken. I knick named it, "Effects Her!!!".
  The medication was hell on Earth for me. I had several bad side effects on this med. The worst being that when I fell asleep my brain created extremely realistic vivid dreams. Also, after sleeping for a few hours, it seemed like very high impact stressful weeks had just gone by in real time. So I had to try to decipher reality upon waking. Needless to say, I lost my job! My Anxiety and Paranoia were worse! Plus it is absolute Hell to come off of!!!"


"So I have OCD, Depression, Panic Disorder, Anxiety, Possible ADD and I have been on many different medications for the past ten years and this medication has relieved my symptoms. Before taking this medication I was takin Luvox 300mg and Valium as needed. Before that I was taking all sorts, up to 5 different ones at a time including Seroquel which put in weight. I now feel more cheerful, not depressed, less obsessive thoughts, less anxiety and can concentrate better. I now feel I can do more in my life. I am also less moody. I am currently taking  Efexor XR 150mg."


"I had the Mirena placed about a month after delivering baby.

I barely even felt it being placed, the nurse seemed surprised by how little I was bothered. Bottom line, don't be scared of what people write, it's totally worth the potential discomfort if it keeps you from getting pregnant."


"I have always had a hard time gaining weight since I was a teenager. Nothing that I tried before worked BUT cyproheptadine. It took me years of research and I tried a few different methods, different diets etc... doctors would tell me that I was going to gain weight with age... but I absolutely hated the way my clothes looked on me and how skinny I was. One beautiful, happy , lucky day, lol, I saw a post online about cyproheptadine and decided to do a little research. I asked my primary doctor to prescribe it to me and she did. I gained about 15 pounds or more with this medication in just a few months. I was about 100 pounds and now I am at 123. I only take the medication if I feel that my appetite is poor... I just pop one of those. great!"


"Tried 4 SSRI's and paxil was the worst, was on it for 7 months at 40mg for depression, social anxiety and OCD and no improvement at all. It was VERY sedating and made it very difficult to orgasm, which was frustrating. I am now on Lexapro which is working great with half the side effects of paxil. I suggest looking at other SSRI's before considering paxil."


"I've been on Topamax for quite a few months now, and I love it for the most part!  I have only had the occasional minor headache,  but the side effects are good/bad.  The good ones in my book are the weight loss and carbonated beverages and other sweet things tasting horrible.  The bad side effects are tingling, usually in my fingers and confusion/'blonde moments" but those are usually more pronounced the more tired I am.  I can live with the bad side effects so much easier than I can a migraine everyday!"


"I had contact dermatitis from a makeup product that caused me to break out in dry flakey red rash spots all over my face.  I was prescribed Clobetasol... I put it on this evening and after about 6 hours wearing this cream on my face about 85% of the redness is gone, the texture of my skin went from irritated, tight, dry and flaking to smooth and calm and even toned! This stuff is a miracle!"


"This medication caused me to have severe muscle pain and tightness in my thighs and back.  It was debilitating.  This was an immediate side effect I experienced.  I was only on it 3 days."


"I was on these medication for two weeks for bulging disc and it was a nightmare. 500 mg twice a day. After the first week that's when I notice the side effects: insomnia, body jerking, sweating and it can put out heat on ur body. Won't take this any more."


"I'm rating this a 'one' reluctantly because it truly worked miracles. I've wrestled with eczema for years and it has become quite painful.  An ER doctor prescribed this when I was there for an unrelated issue.  Within days my open skin and rough patches were completely gone.

But the side effects...I put on 15 pounds in under two weeks, with a painfully swollen gut, stomach pains and insomnia.  Upon visiting my regular physician, he refused to renew the prescription, explaining that these side effects, and potentially much worse, were due to the Prednisone."


"Busy mum."


"I have benign tremors and hypertension.  I was taking one Inderol LA 60mg daily for the hypertension.  I went to an neurologist about the tremors and he asked my cardiologist to change me to one in the morning and two at night.  That was about 5 years ago.  It has been a great help for the tremors and my BP is awesome! [e.g., 120/75]  Now after so long I have developed a tolerance.  My docs think more per day will make my blood pressure too low. If I am really diligent about taking it the tremors are minimal."


"I tried Caverject. First test dose 5 mcg, not much response lasted about 10 minutes. Tried 10 mcg, got about 50% erection, but not enough for penetration, tried 20 mcg same result. My provider said to try 40, 60 and then 80 mcg. Haven't yet tried 40. I went to a Urologist who prescribed Trimix
Worked ok, that was the liquid. The papaverine was 30mcg. Because I'm going on a trip I found a powdered form of Trimix online. Urologist ordered 0.5/10/0.5 which seems to work as well of the above liquid dose. But about 6 months ago I started on clomid, first 25mg M-F, testosterone 750, up from 450 but LH and FSH doubled. Now on 25mg MWF. I now have nocturnal erections, from the clomid. I'm hopeful that I can stop the injections soon."


"I had a Synvisc-One shot about 7 months ago in my right knee. The injection was not painful at all - just uncomfortable as the thick fluid goes in to the knee. I had pain relief for 6 full months. After this experience, I decided to get 2 shots - one in each knee. I had the shots done yesterday, and the pain from the shots was excruciating. The experience was nothing like the first time. I felt like I was going to pass out and as if I had been "sucker punched" in the gut. I couldn't get off the exam table for 20 minutes and could barely get in my car to drive home. I was in such pain and discomfort I went to bed and slept for 12 hours. Today, I still have discomfort and aching. "


"After 5 days on Cipro for a urinary tract infection (allergic to sulfa, Keflex, Macrodantin ) I finished the 5 days prescribed then began to feel awful, severe joint pain in wrists, back and neck. I had painful deep breaths and general overall aching. I had some diarrhea and abdominal pain. Bladder infection is better."


"I have taken abilify for almost a year now on and off because it makes me gain weight. I'm now on lamictal, but other than that I did a lot of research to make sure that the abilify is making me gain weight and IT IS!!!!! I gained almost 15 lb in 2 weeks and I could never stop eating. Other than that abilify didn't work for me long term only short term"


"It has saved my sanity and kept me at peace at first I was sick and had a mild headache now I'm eating way too much. I'm terrified if I stop taking this I'm thankful for celexa,"


"This medication is horrible. I've taken Flagyl many times to deal with chronic BV and have noticed that if your even a half hour late with your dosage, the medication stops working entirely and BV comes back with a vengeance. It is imperative to take it at about the exact same time everyday. I experience the odd taste. Everyone says it tastes metallic, but it tastes like chicken to me. I get nauseous sometimes with this and my urine turns dark. But definitely one of the worst medications to treat BV with."


"I'm very happy with this medicine, and I can only encourage anybody who's hesitating to start an HIV treatment to go for this one. After 5 years, I finally decided it was time to start taking medicine, as my CD4 were going down and my Viral load going higher and higher! There was no doubt, I was freaking out! I finally got offered with STRIBILD , as it is very practical to take one tablet per day. I must say that I almost didn't have ANY side effects, apart from the part that I was very worried. After 1 month and half, my VIRAL load became undetectable, it took more time for my CD4 to go back to normal, after 6 month, I am at 600 CD4. I feel very happy, relieved, much more energy, I have had no more gastric and diarrhea issues !"


"Can't say this med is helping after about 6 weeks. On 2mg daily, went off my Effexor XR I was on for over 10 years. I take 200mg Trazadone at bedtime and have for years and always slept fine. Nothing has helped the Schizo or major depression in all my adult life. This Rexulti? I have not slept one night since starting it! I go to sleep, then wake up in like an hour or two and am wide awake until my alarm clock goes off in the morning. What scares me is that I am like a zombie. A very tired zombie. Ugh"


"Used Imiquimod. Accidentally got some on my scrotum, wiped it off, led to very serious chemical burns and irritation on my balls. Later, even without getting any on my scrotum the symptoms returned.

Despite the serious reaction where I accidentally got the medicine, on my penis shaft, where I applied it directly, there was little to no reaction and the warts (2) being treated, did not respond at all.

Later I wised up and used a tactful application of apple cider vinegar to remove the warts effectively within a couple days for a fraction of the cost. Yes, a little burning and irritation with the ACV, but effective and without the SERIOUS burning and irritation of the entire scrotum."


"I take 75mg every night with Lunesta, I have no side effects does increase appetite but I learned to control the bad eating habits at night. I enjoy getting a full nights rest."


"I quit on day 3 of chantix 4 years ago, was dumb and started smoking again a year later!! :9  This time around, I am on week 2 and every time I take a dose I get dizzy and want to puke. Oddly, my teeth hurt the other day? I am noticing that I can only take a puff or 2 before the nausea really gets bad (constantly nauseas for hours after dose) and i cant even finish a smoke, so that's good? I smell cigarette smoke now, it smells stale and awful. I have gotten a little more aggressive but I think that it is more irritation than anything but, I think its because I want to puke all the time! BUT I am constantly hungry....yet, cant eat!!"


"Finally, like the other lady said, something for Fibromyalgia that totally works.  The longer you take it (3.5 months at this time) the less pain I have had.  It has been wonderful not having pain.  I do experience sleepiness and need more sleep but with Fibro, you do anyway.  Unfortunately, my heart rate has been steadily climbing.  "

"I started this medication 6 weeks after I had my first child. I had stopped post pregnancy bleeding about 2 weeks before I started on the birth control. Once I started Seasonique I began to bleed again for about 3 weeks. I called my doctor because I was concerned but she said it was normal because of all the hormone changes my body was going through. I am about to finish the 3rd month and start my first period on this pill. In the beginning nausea seemed to happen a lot but it has ceased in the last month. Its hard to tell if I feel bloated or not because I gave birth 4 months ago and I still have 10 pounds of baby weight to get off. Other than that I have been happy with this pill. I missed a pill twice this month and never bled or spotted."


"I've been on a methadone treatment program for about 5 months now and am very thankful. Without this medicine I would definitely still be addicted to pain killers. Methadone is great. There's just one thing, it makes me tired during the middle of the day, but I couldn't do without it."


"I've been addicted to oxycodone/perks for about 7 years now. Ranging from 30-120mg a day (needed at least 30mg to be somewhat functional). Since losing cars, a house, copious amounts of money and almost losing my family and simply myself, I decided to really stick with the suboxone. Before, I just had it as a back up to keep withdrawals away if I couldn't get anything. It truly is a miracle drug but, they should warn you of the withdrawal symptoms that are very much like full blown heroin/methadone withdrawal. Day 1: 2mgs in morning, Day 2: 1mg in am 1mg bedtime, Day 3/4: 1mg Day 5/6: 0.5 mgs. By day 7 you should be .25mg or nothing. It helps to always have 1 around just in case you have that one very bad day, that could send you backwards."


"Usually works for severe spasms in my upper back, neck, ect. This time was horrible. ended up in hospital 6 days later with uncontrollable trap pain, despite having someone massage for hours.  No relief. My arms also went weak, could not even lift a cup. Ironically, usually pain in muscles all goes away and sometimes I have a weak Left arm, but I deal with it. This time, pain increased all over back and neck, ribs, arms, I could not lift anything or do anything. Hospital 5 days to try and relieve pain.  Follow up with dr. in 4 more days. I will not get it again, as it did nothing for pain relief and caused both arms to not raise and have no strength and caused more pain because of it."


"My son was given a one-time dose of 25mg of this drug intravenously for nausea in hospital, while on iv drips which included nitroglycerin, blood pressure medications, and pain opiates.

He had a *severe* reaction, which included extremely high bp spikes (over 200 systolic), seizures, disorientation and hallucinations. The blood pressure spikes and seizures were extremely dangerous, as he had just suffered aortic dissection. It was fortunate that this drug reaction was not fatal.

This drug should have a huge warning against usage with blood pressure meds, as that is a potentially fatal combination. The pharmacy should reject any request to use this drug in such a combination."


"I have been on this for 3 days now and on the first day I got severe sharp head aches in the back of my head and didn't feel as hungry as normal, second day I wasn't hungry at all and felt a little sick and today I woke up and almost fainted and my vision was blurry and i had a loud ringing in my ears and almost threw up and I've been dizzy all day and barely eaten. The side effects are horrible, but im going to stick with it to see if it works."


"This medicine helps me sleep at night. I also take a lower dose during the day to control my anxiety. My family and friends know when I have not taken it...I get upset about everything."


"It's alright for chronic pain."


"I took this medication for nearly two years at the highest dose of 120mg for schizophrenia. It completely helped with my hallucinations and delusional thinking. I had been on 650mg of seroquel previous to starting Latuda and I would still hear voices. I take latuda with a snack at 8pm and I am ready for sleep between 930 - 10pm and sleep well through the night. My only complaint is that it does cause an increase in appetite and weight gain. At this present time I take 900mg lithium, 150mg luvox, 72mg concerta and Latuda dose has been lowered to 80mg. I have noticed that my appetite has decreased. Delusions and hallucinations have not returned."


"This is the second bronchitis episide (6 months apart) that I have used Tessalon perles.  They are like a miracle that let me stop coughing so severely and also sleep at night! I tried taking just 1 when first prescribed and didn't notice any improvement, so I've found 2 at each dose works miracles for me!"


"Took this medication, as Vestura was no longer available... I began having yeast infection symptoms on a monthly basis to having full reoccurring yeast infections monthly. Finally concluded Gianvi birth control pills were the cause after quitting Gianvi altogether.  Everyone's body is different. Vestura wasn't perfect but it worked better for me than Gianvi. Awful! 6 months of yeast infections!"


"I am almost through with my second month pills and I have to say that my acne has gotten worse. I normally have fairly clear skin with occasional small breakouts, but since the birth control my acne has gotten much more common and more large and painful as well. I'm hoping that my body is still getting use to the hormones and will soon get back to normal. Also, my appetite has become a constant issue. My weight has stayed the same so far, but I am eating much more than I used to. Hoping that this is all just adjustments that will get better with time!"


"I have fibromi.  muscle spams almost all the time from other back injuries. I find it is the only muscle relaxant that works for me. I was on four a day and never had any side effects from it.  I went to my family doctor who has been managing my pain for eight years she told me she could not write my norkos or soma any longer due to the government.  I am on my own here"


"I've been taking this pill among others for pain and migraines , I started with 25 mg, and it was upped to 50 because I was still in pain and having head aches, while this hasnt helped my pain, it has helped my migraines I havent had one since taking it, and I usually had one once a week, I still get head aches. Im not sure if this helps or if its my other medications. I feel like this stuff makes me dizzy when outside in the heat, I have a constant dry mouth, my sex drive in no longer alive, I cant remember things and get confused easy. But I sleep good and my head doesnt hurt... I'm still in constant pain. And it seems like I have the hunger of 3 teenagers. Im 27 and have DDD, I hope I can find something that works."


"I'm 16 and had constipation for 5 days with no bowel movements at all. Eventually I grew tired as I was getting heavier and felt worse by the day so I tried some tablets. I looked on here straight after taking them and was quite scared considering everyone seemed to have severe pains. And this was the case. Though the pains were extremely horrific I managed to pass most of it in the first half hour of waking up at 4 in the morning from the pain. I only took one tablet and wouldn't recommend more even if you've been stuck for days as it works well but there's a price to pay in pain."


"I'm on day 48 of treatment and had my second shot on 11/04/2013. With the first shot I bled, 2 weeks prior and another 3 weeks after. After that I haven't bled since. I'm being treated for lifelong (23 years) Endometriosis. I have been disabled since 13 years old because of it.

The only symptom I have had is SEVERE NON STOP hot flashes. I will have a hysterectomy in December."


"This product  is terrible !!! Took it for 1month . Nothing at all . My doctor is writing me a new product  this week . The taste is terrible . May be  my chemistry  but no good."


"These pills really work. I was 242 November 23, 2016. Today is December 17, 2016 and I'm at 224 and I don't even take the pills everyday nor the water pill. "


"My beloved husband used Chantix to stop smoking after 30  years of tobacco abuse.  He was VERY emotional during the first two weeks, crying easily.  After those 2 weeks?  RAGE & ANGER prevailed.  He quit smoking, Praise the Lord.  He quit Chantix after about 6 weeks, PRAISE THE LORD!  I'm concerned about residual rage & anger emotions AFTER stopping this miracle medicine.  He still has bouts of extreme rage and anger and wasn't really like this before Chantix.  Understanding I'm not the 'perfect' wife, but! "


"I take this for borderline personality disorder. This medication helped a lot with my mood swings, anger, purging (but not binging), as well as keeping my somewhat delusional 'thoughts' in check (such as thinking that I am morbidly obese, an evil person, that people are following me, etc). It did make me very tired at first (and still does a little), it is somewhat related to weight gain as well, though less than most other antipsychotics, and I have gained 10-15lbs so far (in 2 months). Overall, I think this medication is pretty good, despite the weight gain and fatigue."


"I'm a 52 yr old woman. I've been taking Pristiq for 2 months specifically for generalized anxiety disorder hoping that using it will be able to reduce my worrying and to improve my sleeping.  10 years ago I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP machine so I'm really hoping that reducing my anxiety might mean that I might not need the machine - my new sleep doctor thinks that I may have been misdiagnosed 10 years ago - the results could have gone either way. So far, my anxiety has reduced which is great.  However, my side effects include nighttime hot flashes (affects my sleeping) and decreased ability to have orgasms.  I meet with my doctor in a month to review so I'll see where I am with it then."


"I have tried several different BC from combination, mini pill, extended and now NR. I absolutely hate it. At first it was awesome...no daily pill to remember! As time went on I became very moody.  I have absolutely no sex drive. I have also gained some weight. This is my last month on NR. I will either change back to the mini pill or go on Skyla."

"I've been on Beyaz since September 2013 after switching from the Depo Shot. I love the pill, however, I get really bad cramps when my period comes. Not sure if it's because my body is still adjusting to being off the shot or what."


"Just started the treatment with Sporanox (on the first day) after vaginal infection pill and fungal cream didn't work and had a lot of hypersensitive skin reaction. Now going without cream just antiseptic rinse and some lotion on affected area. I found it works wonder as the first day taking the pills. I shall report once again after completion of 7 days treatment."


"I realize everyone is different but I don't think the insertion could be THAT bad for anyone especially if you take a little something. The day I was scheduled to have it inserted I fell and hurt my foot quite bad (found out later it was fractured) I decided to go to the appointment anyway so she could check my foot. Anyway I was up on that table, hurt foot in a sling and still had her insert this IUD just to get it done. It was not that bad and has been amazing at making my period just a trickle now but lasts over a week very slow but no other issues."


"I tried this for 12 weeks as recommended. I lost 6lbs of water weight the first week and thats it. It made me very dehydrated which made me miserable with leg cramps during workouts. Waste of money."


"I've had bv off and on for 3 years, tried the 7 day course multiple times. Always came back in a couple days. Was told to do metro gel twice a week for 6 months. This has kept it at bay but never got rid of it. I was tested positive for group strep b, was told I may have had this overgrowth infection since I gave birth to my second son.... 3 years ago.. and that it could be the cause of the bv or the symptoms of bv. After the penicillin treatment, I've noticed a slight difference but still having to use the metro gel to keep it at bay. I take a raw probiotic twice a day as well. I wish this medicine worked like it has on everyone I've known to it. This bv stuff is so crippling"


"Had a bad cold that got better but got worse. Muscle and joint pain, lethargy, fatigue, postnasal drip. I have sinusitis history but nothing this worse. My doc gave me Clarithromycin 500mg. Just took my first dose, laid down, and poof. All muscle pains gone. I can actually get up and catch up on office work etc. Agree on the weird taste in the mouth, but not too bothersome."

"Was able to get an erection, but it would only last a couple of minutes before ejaculation. Tried 10mg initially, but results were the same - no staying power. 20mg does the trick. Place the tablet under my tongue, let it dissolve in my mouth. I'm fully erected and hard within minutes. Able to last a lot longer before ejaculation. Able to perform repeatedly throughout the night. A big ego boost for a 52 year old man."


"Had severe chest pain, but knew it wasn't my heart. Endoscope showed 2 duodenal ulcers, started Dexilant, pain gone quickly, but I'm having high blood sugar readings."


"I have severe acne and this did close to nothing as well as every other thing dermantologists prescribe. :)"


"Since starting Tramadol 2 years ago (300 mg daily), I've been symptom free from restless leg syndrome with no side effects.

Prior to Tramadol, I experience acute pain in legs when inactive during the evenings. A sleep study also revealed moderate leg twitching during sleep which interfered with REM. I was prescribed Requip 4mg but had a couple of very bad reactions (sudden onset of acute sweating and nausea).

I also take Tramadol for mild chronic back pain. Breakthrough pain can occur due to the relatively low strength of Tramadol compared to other prescription pain relievers. However, it's more accessible due to it being a non-narcotic, non-scheduled drug.

"My mother has taken this medicine for her bipolar and it does seem to help her out a lot with her condition. I'm glad there is research out there for the bipolar disorder because I think it's very important to people to have information on it. "


"Long acting triptan, zero side effects for me. Can be used for prevention of menstrual migraines. Love it!"


"Been taking for 8 months and working well. I only get up once at night now.  I have a penile implant so impotence is no problem.  I don't ejaculate any fluid but orgasms are still great."


"It's working. I haven't had any panic attacks since I started about 3-4 months ago, but my memory was bad before and still is bad. I've been getting constipated, decreased sexual desire and ability. I'm only 19. I have to fix that. I am always tired randomly and need a coffee. I can't stop yawning all the time. "


"Vantin worked the best for me with sinusitis, where as the "z-pack" did not relieve me at all."


"I have been on Nucynta for 1 1/2 yrs. I've had major problems with pain meds. Vomiting, not sleeping to very high liver counts. I've had 4 surgeries on my wrist in 3 yrs. 1 being a internal amputation of the ulna hump & approx 3" of bone. Picture that hump in your wrist & 3" of the bone that is attached to it gone. Bone hitting bone, pain I wouldn't wish on anyone. My PM put me on 50mg x 2-4 times a day. For the 1st time in 14 yrs I'm almost pain free. I'm going this week to have the dosage increased. I had to stop working and I never thought that I would have a normal life or be able to hold my grand kids. Now I have 6 grand kids and I spend everyday with them. I can even pick them up and hold them. My newest is 8wks old. Nucynta saved me."


"Lamictal is a great drug for me, except for the side effects. I now have had to be put on sleep medicines or I stay awake all night. I have also lost quite a lot of hair over the years of taking it. At one point (400mg) per day. Now at 200mg a day, it has not been as bad, but still significant. My memory has gotten almost to the point of giving up the medicine because it's so bad. I also have trouble thinking of words that I want to say and have never had that problem until taking Lamictal.  It does have less or (better) side effects than some of the others, or I would have tried something else by now."


"It started a month ago where I developed a cold and it went into a bad cough. It was scary and then I lost my voice. My doctor prescribed azithromycin, I decided to look at the reviews and I thought yikes I'm not taking this, One person said the side effects were worse that the illness. Three weeks later I got rid of my cold to get it back one week later but this time the cough turned into bronchitis. Now that cough scared me so bad I decided to look at the positive reviews. One woman said you have to try it first and I did and wow three days on the medicine my cough is almost gone. Side effects,, sore stomach for a few minutes after taking it.. mild headache.. compared to that cough I have nothing to complain about. Life is good again :)"


"My dermatologist told me to use this right over Fluorouracil creme on my lip to relieve any painful symptoms.  He didn't explain that the Desonate itself could cause painful side effects, like swelling redness, blisters, scaling, burning sensation, cracking of skin, thinning.  It's water insoluble so it's difficult to wash off once it dries.  This med should be used with extreme caution and stopped immediately once these symptoms appear."


"My Dad takes this one. My whole family has problems with the horrible side effects of blood pressure medicines. My Dad is very picky and tolerates this one well. "


"Saved my life"


"Very negative experience; I was on this medication for about 6 months to help with my anxiety levels and emotional turbulence. At the beginning of starting this medication I was underweight, six months on I gained a lot of weight, I looked chubby, especially in my face.
I was not happy with this significant weight gain, I also didn't feel it was helping with my mental health either.
I stopped taking Olanzapine nearly a year and a half ago, I have been working very hard to loose weight and I'm getting there. However my self esteem has shattered, I don't like my body and I am very self conscious - this is all due to the weight gain from Olanzapine. My advice is that if you are offered this medication, do your research first & exercise."

"I've been on Chateal for about a year and a half.  I agree with many reviews that it's very effective for its intended purpose, but the side effects are awful.  I've experienced extreme moodiness, irritability and depression, panic attacks, and what I believe was a burst ovarian cyst.  I've also been experiencing acne on my chest and back which I've never had before. A few months ago I ended up in the ER after having a severe panic attack and throwing up in the middle of the night.  I can't say that the Chateal was directly responsible for the burst cyst, but I'm 30 years old and have been using BC since the age of 16 -- I've never experience any of these conditions prior to using Chateal, save for your standard PMSing."


"9 weeks of Champix and smoke free for 7 years now
I feel great
60 years old and I can run circles around my grandchildren lol
With the money I save I can vacation every 2nd year"


"Great medication for agitation and sleep when taken in the evening. There is a bit of a hangover period for a couple of hours but that is acceptable to me for a full nights sleep. Much better than regular Seroquel which you better be near a bed soon after taking it. Seroquel XR is much smoother and gives me a chance to adjust to the sedation as I get ready for bed."


"Had it placed 3 weeks ago, get it removed tomorrow. Started with heavy irregular bleeding a year ago. Had an endometrial ablation in February 2017, didn’t do anything about the heavy irregular bleeding, it became even worse. My doctor talked about getting an IUD Mirena. Some hesitation because of the experience some of my friends had, and they weren’t good. Long story short had it placed 3 weeks ago. Heavy cramping, heavy bleeding and just not feeling happy. Didn’t have this before, no issues when I had a period, I am bleeding for almost 6 weeks and one day relief.  I know it can take some time too adjust but I am already so done with this. Next step is a hysterectomy."


"This is just my experiences and opinions. This medication has not helped me much for my anxiety or OCD. I am taking 10 mg once a day,  but now I don't know if maybe I need to increase my dose or change to something else.  The main problem I am having is that it has not seemed to help me much with my hand washing OCD and now I have become itchy from dry skin and scalp."


"I have been on this medicine for 3 days. I have insomnia (normally a good sleeper) and headaches since the treatment began. The infection is going away, but I don't know how much longer I can take this medicine."


"Outstanding results after the fourth day using Uceris.  Has none of the typical prednisone major side effects. Works in the lower colon.  I used it for 8 weeks. Held the Ulcerative Colitis in remission for an additional 5 months."


"I had some bad breakouts in October, I had Very/Light acne but it got worse in October so I went and got prescribed on epiduo early November. I've seen improvements, it had made my face red and burnt and kinda flaky, I have seen my acne tone down a bit, but its been 10 weeks and I still have Ance. Seen small changes, but Im kinda disappointed. Let me say, it has definitely worked better than other products and it has made a difference, but its a very slow process, and even if a breakout of some zits go away, I still get new acne. I'm in my teen years and have struggled with acne for a little over a year now, but this product disappoints me, and the refill is costly. I hope it works, my acne has really hurt my self - esteem and its tough."


"I was in a very severe auto accident where I went over a cliff driving up to the mountains.  Pain mamgement doctor tried everything from morphine to fentanyl but these medicines caused quality of life issues (felt slow or ephoric).  Now take 20 mg Oxycontin twice daily with 8 5/325 Percocets for break through pain. Miracle drug.  No ups and downs, no side effects."


"I saw great results but unfortunately had to stop because the medication went from $300 to $480 and my insurance would not cover it, and that was also using discount card."


"Various side effects including fractures in both feet and bad pain and aching in right leg making it almost impossible to walk and keeping me awake and in pain. It is time for my third Prolia shot and I have suffered from this for two months and am no better. This has not been a positive experience but a bad and painful one leaving me unable to get out and preform any daily task or functions."


"I started taking Chantix some time after Christmas. I didn't want to quit, I was one of those smokers who enjoyed it. I've been a smoker for 19 years. After about 2 weeks I cut back to about 7 a day, but on January 26 I quit. I was doing really well and then I got this horrible cold and relapsed. I'm still taking Chantix but I wasn't taking it as prescribed. I plan to now take it 2 times a day instead of once. I'll keep taking it only because I'm scared I'll go back to smoking. I've read all of these horrible side effects and got scared so stopped taking them and then the urge to smoke came back. I've had mild side effects like upset stomach, vivid dreams. I'm determined to be a non-SMOKER."


"Cleared up my hives in less than a week, was thrilled with it."


"I was prescribe Flomax due to kidney stones.
Other than the pain I felt fine, then started taking this drug, long story short I hate it.
I took it for about a week , I suppose it might have helped remove the stone but I felt like crap
Insomnia ,weakness, coughing, hiccuping constantly. Loss of appetite, foods just didn't appeal at all ,muscle pain, diarrhea,
Thurs was my last pain, today is Monday i stopped taking them last Saturday I could not take another one.
How anyone can be on these for weeks and months is beyond me"


"100mg, 3 hours after taking still staring at walls. Woke up every couple hours. Groggy in the morning. Felt bad all day."


"I'm 35. Had trouble sometimes when I was having sex with a new partner.  Spoke to my doctor, who said it probably not physical and to be more communicative to be more relaxed.  Found someone's Viagra pills they left behind, and decided to try one.  Problem solved, and no side effects.  Went back to MD, and was given Levitra (because it's in the formulary) and it works great too.  I take half a 20 mg pill."


"Just started to take it. I take 2 -100 mg one in the mid morning the other at night, however I find the need for a couple of smaller doses. 37.5mg between the 12 hours total amount is 275 mg. So far so good."


"I was on Celexa and Xanax for 8 months and thankfully didn’t experience any crazy side effects; was just a little more tired than usual but not to the extent that it was affecting my work or social life.  I thought I was fine and no longer needed to take medication so I weaned myself off in early February however within 2 months I started feeling the way I had been feeling prior to starting treatment.  For months I tried making myself believe that I was just feeling stress and anxiety because of work, but after battling mood swings, distancing myself from my friends and family, drinking and smoking excessively, and being in a seemingly perpetual funk I realized it really wasn’t fine and it was time to get my life back.  Last week I started yoga, took a break from alcohol, and went to see a doctor.  He put me back on Celexa and switched me from Xanax to Klonopin.  Today is my first day back on the medication and although I am not thrilled to be back on this type of treatment, I am very much looking forward to feeling “normal” again."


"Used a sample tube for a month -  cleared up bumps and skin tone was more even. Also my skin stopped itching. Got a prescription and will be using everyday. Hoping I get to the point where I only need very little to no makeup to cover up the redness."


"After trying 2 or 3 different pills finally given 5mg felodopine & was great - until the pharmacy said they couldn't get hold of them & was given 2x 2.5mg of parmidXL. Within 3 days my B/P was back high again, feeling breathless and dizzy. Am told its the same drug,,,,but definitely has different results . Has anyone else experienced this?? What to do now ,,,,"


"The first two weeks were perfectly fine, I feel like my breasts got bigger/fuller but they became really sensitive and sore all the time. Then about the third week came around and I missed one pill by a little bit and I haven't stopped bleeding since. (I've been bleeding for three weeks straight with unusual dark colored discharge) Also my skin and just about everything feels super dry compared to normal.  Haven't gained weight or gotten zits so I guess that's okay. Drive is through the roof but can't do anything. :^(
Hoping this bleeding will stop soon. Might go to doc."


"I started using Byetta at the beginning of September 2011, overall I really like it, it helped stabilize my glucose levels, lost 40 pounds in the first 3 months and felt good. But at the end of December, unfortunately developed a severe case of Urticarical Vasculitis accompanied by some gastroparesis. I am very disappointed that my PCP felt the only remedy for Urticarical Vasculitis was to stop the Byetta."


"I had a migraine for 3 days.  And noticed double vision on day 3.  I had my sister to take me to the ER.  I was given Metoclopramide in my IV.  It worked like a wonder drug.  I have a presciption and haven't had any problems.  3 months later I had another migraine took 10g tablet of regular and took a nap.  Felt great.  Sorry it doesn't work for everyone."


"This medicine is a miracle. I've tried Prozac, Effexor and Wellbutrin. Since I've been on Pristiq, I no longer feel sad and cry the way I used to! I'm finally happy! I thank Pristiq for this! The sadness seems to creep back in however when I've missed a dose, so its imperative that dosing remains consistent. I've found taking it in the morning is best as it does cause sleeplessness. Other side effects I've noticed are; constipation, loss of appetite and substantial weight loss. After reading a few reviews, I laughed as I read another Pristiq user describe how they now "ramble on and on" when talking to someone! I too, do the same thing! I so glad to know it may be a side effect of Pristiq! Take note my dear family! Perhaps I'm really not a "wingnut" after-all."


"I was in clinical trial and continued on Gilenya for 5 years after. Overall awesome medicine regarding management of my multiple sclerosis progression based on MRI of brain. Symptoms did worsen over time as it is not a cure and well progression happens. Made decision with Neuro to switch to another treatment (Aubagio) due to lesions showing on spine and a black hole showing on brain MRI - never had side effects to mention except maybe additional tiredness after dosing, switched to nights for 3 months but then went back to mornings. Blood pressure ran low from an hour till about 3 hours following dosage but never to a point of dizzy or passing out. Was usually 50/70 to 60/80 which freaked out nurses but my BP was always around 80-82. I recommend it!"


"I am 34 years old. I started with 27mg. Over several weeks I worked up to 36mg in morning, then 10mg in mid afternoon. My husband has seen an improvement in my mood. I feel less angry and better able to cope with daily life. I stay awake during the day now (I was very fatigued pre-Concerta and sleeping a lot). I am sleeping the best I ever have at night. My mind doesn't race as much as it used to. I still experience anxiety, but it hasn't increased since Concerta. I get more headaches and I seem to continuously suck and rub my tongue on the inside of my mouth. It annoys me and causes tongue ulcers, but I guess it is a small price to pay."


"Levaquin has definitely begun to cure my sinus infection. After about 2 doses I started to get relief. I have had no itching but serious headaches and dizziness. Overall, great medicine for me!"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"I was diagnosed May of 2011, and I am 23, yes that's 6 years. I was put on genvoya 6 or 7 months ago. I was switched to this medication from atripla where I was having issues with weight because of constant diarrhea. Since switching to this med my weight has stabilized and the side effects of this medication are minor compared to others. I have been undectable since 2012 so that didn't have room for improvement on that. My CD4 has went down a little but my CD4 can go up and down 200 points within a 6 month span and be normal, so otherwise all is well."


"I had severe cramping on my first day and Googled only to discover I wasn't alone. It felt like the worst period cramps ever & I'm no wimp...two healthy boys of my own. Some reviews said 9 months later!! One woman said it was a daily experience and had to take pain killers!! I didn't hestitate. Out it went and instant relief.
I do not recommend this method at all."


"I have been sweating for a while. I love Drysol! It has helped me greatly, and I am very happy my doctor recommended it.

There is a downside to it though... It can itch and sting if you put it on daily. If you want to avoid this, I'd put it on every other day, and don't wear it over the weekend.

 I'd ask your doctor about this though! It is a great product, and I'd recommend this to everyone!"


"To be honest I don't know there so much negativity about the mirena. I am 23 years old and went from the depo to the mirena. Yes there is pain at the time of the insertion but not something that Advil cant take care of. After the insertion I drove to work and took an Advil and worked for the rest of the day. The insertion was about a month ago and the bleeding is so light its noticeable only if I wipe. Don't make any decision based on what you read because it is not as bad as everyone here makes it."


"Unexpectedly found this page, and read other responses to see others experience with Nucynta. I have been on various doses ranging from 600mg per day (all 100's) to currently taking two 100 extended release tablets per day. My experience has lasted six years now.
From the very start I loved it because it was effective for my neuropathy. The big bonus was that after a while, say month or two, I was completely confident in my ability to concentrate and do my very detailed work. Now that said, while on the max dose of 600mg I would definitely feel the effects every time I dropped a 100mg. This was the beginning.
As the dose went down, the ability to concentrate got better and better. my biggest problem was finding a drug store that kept in stock."


"Sweating all the time....right through my clothes.    Think too high for me"


"52 year old Female. I have now been on 7.5 mg for 14 days, 28 days total. Hunger much reduced. Side effects: headaches; ringing in my ears lasted about a week. Still have slight numbness in cheeks. Have lost 13 lbs in 28 days, the most weight I have been able to lose in 12 years - I am thrilled. My morning blood sugar was 150 to 180, now 70 to 120. Oh...and I've stopped snoring!"


"I have been reading some of the reviews and I wanted to remind people that birth control is extremely individual. The right birth control for one person may not be right for another. The way your body reacts to the birth control is a big factor in how well it works for you and is not consistent among everyone. I, personally, love LoSeasonique. I switched about 2 years ago after my previous birth control started giving me migraines and making me sick. LoSeasonique allows me to have only 4 periods a year, and when I do have them they are very light. It took about a month to adjust to it, but after that, it was great! Completely took away my PMS symptoms and does not wreak havoc on the rest of my body."


"I am on a 3 month shot plan but monthly shots. I didn't want the 3 month all at once because I wanted to see how my body would react to it first.
Shot given 12/07/16 and today is 12/28/16. The first week, I didnt really have any side effects and I was really hopeful that this will be the worse. Wishful thinking didnt last long. Hot flashes, night sweats, chills, emotional wreck and I believe slight headaches that come and go.
BUT on the contrary, less than a month and my fibroid has already physically shrank. I havent seen the doc yet but I can physically see that it shrank. My clothes are loose in the belt line area. My fibroid was the size of a small grapefruit (17cm) but I really see a huge different in shrinkage.
Could be worse :/"


"Had injections in both knees today. Aching a little but severe pain easing. I have been advised by specialist as long as shots work to avoid having knee replacements, as that is a long time to recoup. I hate reading all the side effects of Depo Medrol, too. The dosage is very minimal I've been told. Today's injection was my first since July!"


"Medicine seems to be effective, but is literally the most terrible tasting medicine I've ever had.  It has no coating and dissolves instantly on your tongue, leaving a horrid taste behind.  It is upsetting to your stomach.  Taking it because it's effective.  Wish they'd add a coating.  I dread taking this medicine and have a knot in my stomach when it's almost time to take it."


"I have diabetes and have had severe constipation for over a year. Went to the doctor and had a few tests done. My doctor put me on Linzess and it has saved my life. I am still sick but without Linzess I would be much sicker than I am now. If you have any problem with constipation talk to your doctor about Linzess it works."


"Well so far Ive been taking this drug for 5 days.

first day. upset stomach and threw up in the middle of the night and fell rumbling in my stomach. However I had staph infection maybe on my face. A few pimples which ive never had acne problems. What made me notice them is they were all painful to the touch. I mean very painful. So the doctor said Staph infection. Take 10 days. 300 mg 4 times a day. So far no issues. 5 more days to go and I will finish as instructed. I'm taking about every 6 hours. give or take a few mins into it. So far no issues. and I hope none either."


"I had been on their study for about 3 or so years. My first attack kept me from walking for a month .I was having attacks every two weeks for a couple of years. Since joining the study I had a minor attack in the first week and nothing after.I had NO side effects and it did change my life. The study ended on 3/2016 and have been completely off medication since HOWEVER I can feel a tingle on my toe and may have to go back on medication"


"Been very thin all my life (high metabolism). I'm 40 & 5'5 weighing at 92 lbs. I was too thin and wanting to gain weight. A friend suggested Megace. I took 1 teaspoon 3 times a day. I gained 7 lbs in the first week. After 3 weeks I am up to 117lbs where I wanted to be. I feel and look much healthier. Con was my appetite was insatiable. I only wanted to eat ALL DAY. I always had food with me if I went out. I ended up with a food baby (that's what I call it) belly. I looked pregnant. That went away when I stopped taking it. It did stop my periods but when I'd stop taking it the periods would always return. It did make me very thirsty all the time as well. Other than that I love it! Take 1 tsp every other 2-3 days now to maintain the weight."


"Seen the best results in mood and energy level upon adding this drug two years ago. A huge relief after 10 years of struggling to find a medication regime that worked long-term with minimal  side-effects."


"I'm using this medication in conjunction with Effexor XR, clonazepam, and Vyvanse to help sleep and to help with my as-of-yet depression that hasn't responded to medicines. It knocks me OUT, but I can force myself to do things (not complicated) before I actually need to sleep. Haven't been on it long enough to assess it as far as depression.
I guess we'll see."

"I've been on this pill for almost 5 years now and never experienced any serious side effects. But I just decided to switch now because lately it seems that the pills are losing their effects! There have been at least 3 times in the past year that my period came earlier than it should. This time totally even 1 whole week earlier! I don't really want to switch because I guess my body is now well balanced with these hormones, but my own opinion is that it's losing effect after this long. I don't know...my doctor said trying other combination wouldn't hurt."


"Ok.i got an acl surgery...need to eat some medication that leads to constipation...I did use one before and it doesn't really work for me...and now I constipated again..I take two and it did the job really well..but please take this with an empty stomach..and drink more water....don't eat after you take this pills....it better to take it before you sleep...the point is 'WATER' is important..."


"I haven't been able to tolerate any drug during the 5 years I have been officially flaring and diagnosed with UC. Despite this I know I had this nasty thing for the past 20 years. To put it plainly, Humira worked for 2 months, then failed. Now Entyvio worked for 1 month maybe and seems to be placebo now. I oscillate between very bad bloating and constipation and then diarrhea. Since on Entyvio I am unable to sleep laying down from the pain, and I have no ability to form a normal stool - it's either Diarrhea or it's pencil thin or pebble like. I do not feel like this medicine works and is just another step in the long journey toward surgery. I hear how biologics help people but I remain unconvinced."


"I love Chantix for helping me quit smoking. The only side effect I have had is a little nausea, which goes away quickly and it often alleviated with food. My dreams may be a little more vivid, but nothing very scary. I have been a non-smoker for over a month now and I feel GREAT! I highly recommend Chantix to anyone quitting smoking."


"I have been taking Ocella for 7 months now. At first I felt very sick about an hour after taking a pill so I had to eat something every time I was taking it, however I didn't gain any weight. On a contrary I have lost some, weird I know. Nausea went away after a first cycle, my period became lighter, I don't have bad cramps anymore or before period acne. My issue is terrible mood swings right before and when on my period as some of you were saying I feel insane. I can't control my emotions. Also recently I start feeling fatigued. I feel tired all the time, almost depressed, especially right before my period. I have never acted this way before."


"I just got the Implanon in July of 2011. I was on the Depo shot which took me from 150 to 180 in weight quickly. I am still gaining weight. I hope its not the Implanon, but I like it besides the weight gain. I hope
I can start to lose weight soon before I reach 200, but all in all this is a good form of birth control."


"I recently had a baby and thought I would try the Mirena. Insertion wasn't bad at all, a little pressure. Since having it I've been feeling GREAT! I had the 1 day of light bleeding after insertion and light cramping. But otherwise nothing expect a day on very light spotting. Since then, nothing! I would recommend this for sure. Not having a period or cramping has been awesome!"


"I am 17 years old, I've always had a problem focusing in school. Eventually I was taken to get tested and I did in fact have A.D.D . My doctor started me on 50mg of Vyvanse. My first day taking the pill was amazing and so was that whole 2 weeks. Its now my third week on Vyvanse and I've been having rapid heart rates, blurred vision, and feeling very jittery/shaky. I'm curious if my dosage is too high for me. I'm also afraid that if I get my dosage lower that it will no longer work for me. "


"I have a mild case of Tourette's syndrome, and clonidine has saved my life."


"I'm 21. I've had 4 episodes of yeast infections this year, with about 2 month increments.  I'm not sure if it's because of my birth control pills. However, I notice whenever I eat too many sweets and wear non-cotton underwear I get YI. Diflucan helps me so much. With just 1 pill the itch, inflammation of the vulva and discharge are gone. I never noticed any side effects when taking it. On Saturday I will take my second pill."


"Been on vitoza since 2013. I have lost 60 lbs and still losing but slower. My A1C has been 6.9 mostly. I sometimes get nauseated but not often. It has been a miracle for me!"


"OxyContin  seems to work really well for pain. But there is that is a  few cons about this medicine for me is that my body would get used to to it and I would need to up the dose. I went from 10mg (2x a day) all the way up to 30  mg (2x a day) It has always only lasted tops 7 hours instead of the advertised 12. It without question has never lasted 12 hours. When I started taking this medicine by the 7 hour my legs would really be on fire again like clock work. So 2 pills would last 14 hours instead of 24 like the manufacturer says. So if you take this medicine make sure you get some breakthrough medicine. Make sure you take Exlax with this medicine. You will be constipated."


"So this is my first review that I have ever written about a medication and I wanted to share my experience.  I am currently taking Effexor XR 75 mg with the add-on 5mg of generic Abilify.  I started my add-on treatment on July 19th after letting the prescription sit for a while.  What a difference  has made for me already!  I actually feel like getting out of the bed now and coming to work!  I suddenly lost my father and felt like my whole life fell apart.  I got hooked on Klonopin and Xanax to numb the pain and knew something had to change.  After 3 years of struggling and juggling different antidepressants, I think I have FINALLY found the right combination.  While this medication may not work for everyone, it has definitely helped me!"


"I was taking the brand name & my pharmacy switched me to the generic. I thought nothing of it, assuming it was the same thing. Since starting the generic, I have acne, depression, spotting in between periods, and headaches. Horrible! I was doing really well on the brand name. Asking my Dr if there is any way to force them to give me the brand name back & if not, I will have to switch to something else."


"Pimecrolimus seems to work but I have to use it twice a day which is okay. It burned for about the first 2 weeks (I have atopic dermatitis on my eyelids), but it does not burn any more."


"I took three tablets last night at 7:30pm after not going to the bathroom for a few days. I woke up at 2AM with an urge to go, but still couldn't go. I went back to bed and woke up at 4:45 with a very upset stomach. My stomach was cramping really bad and I laid in bed for a little longer hoping I wouldn't throw up. I never threw up, but after a few minutes in bed I had to run to the bathroom when I was hit with a sudden need to go. I have been having explosive diarrhea for almost an hour. At first, I would finish and then have to go again 5 minutes later! My stomach doesn't hurt anymore and the diarrhea is starting to let up. I hope I don't have diarrhea at work."


"I've been on it for 7 months now and it has been a good experience. At first I was scared to take it due to the possible side effects, and weight gain! Only the first month I experienced mild headaches and morning sickness but I think it was my body adjusting to it. No weight gain at all which makes it great, my periods are regular always on time, and cramps got better. The only thing I noticed that I get emotional the first week of starting a new package, but it helps having a very comprehensive boyfriend other than that the pill is great! I enjoy my sex better, without stressing of getting pregnant! I'll soon be getting my 8th and 9th package."


"I've had Skyla for almost 5 months now. The procedure for getting it inserted was a bit painful. I got it inserted 7 weeks after having my third child so I didn't think it would be so bad. I felt a pinch that lasted about 10 seconds. It was quick but painful in my experience. I immediately started to spot after. I had heavy bleeding that lasted for about a month. I haven't had a period since, I have been spotting on and off though. Not sure if me breastfeeding has anything to do with it. I get a lot of nasty discharge. It must have something to do with Skyla because I had been fine before that. I check my strings constantly and at first they were very hard. My husband described them as Bobby pin type of feeling. Been having pains lately too"


"I have arthritis in my ankles, knees, sacroiliac area, and hip. I also have fibromyalgia. It hurts so much I can barely move. When ever I have pain, I use Voltaren Gel. This stuff is a lifesaver. It helps me regain my joint flexibility and I can move and walk around again. Also, I am not crying out in pain. My life was horrible before Voltaren Gel. Now, I have a normal life again and can manage my symptoms."


"I typically take 30MG and it gets to work in about 2hrs and once I'm asleep I might wake up but it's easy-to-use go back to sleep. When I take it I feel like a receive a well rested 4 to 6 hrs of sleep. I wake up not at all drowsy. But refreshed and ready to take on the world."


"I took this for 2 months. I felt terrible all the time. So tired I could barely motivate and my heart raced out of my body. Told my Dr. and have since stopped taking it. Went back to what I was taking for years with no problem."


"It seemed to work as a pain medication, due to my chronic arthritis in my back with degenerative bone disease. I also have a steel rod in my right leg and other chronic illness."


"I've been taking this medication for many months now. I take it on work days mostly & days when I need to get up and go. I still have depression and sometimes it's hard to sleep but not always. It helps if you love food because I don't over eat but if I forget to bring a snack to work I get a little nauseous or I just feel super hungry by the end of my shift because I forget about food for like 7-9 hours. I try to eat food before I take it. Girls at work ask me what helps me be confident and sell stuff and I tell them vyvanse. I have depression and anxiety but this helps so much. I do feel really tired and like I don't want to do stuff on days I don't take it and after it wears off. So my doctors trying me on brintellex or something too."


"This is my first week on the pill. I had to start on them because of my irregular periods and I'm getting married in a month so me and my fiancee want to enjoy at least our first 2 years without kids. Anyways so far I've been feeling moody (but like PMDD) my abnormal bleeding has stopped, and in just one week my face looks awesome. I'm definitely going to keep taking them. I'm happy for everyone who has a success on the pill."


"I recently started taking valtrex again for prevention/treatment of genital herpes flare ups and every time I take one I get a cold sore on my mouth. Didn't take valtrex for a few years and never had a cold sore, I had other outbreaks but no cold sores. I got back on valtrex to control the other outbreaks about three months ago and cold sores have been a constant threat."


"I switched from ER morphine 30 mg sulfate to embeda 20 mg ,there are some major problems with this medication ! Recalls are still needed as the first time I took one minimal relief with quick ending ,the next one put me to sleep after I just slept 12 hours from the first one , the next one zero relief ,can't go through life like this ! The FDA needs to take a serious look at this !"


"The pill form is much more affordable than the liquid Sucralfate.  I place the pill in a large spoon then add a small amount of water.  The pill dissolves quickly and is easy to swallow.  Not unpleasant at all."


"I have had lupus 6 years and have been taking plaquenil since then and I have had no side effects. This medication has really helped me to have a normal life again."


"Worked straight away. I took 100mg just before bed. I became most sedated from 30 minutes to one and a half hours after taking it. So, this is the best window to be in bed and ready to fall asleep. After that you still feel sedated but less so. Solid 8 hours sleep every night without waking.

I had some dizziness for the first couple of weeks but this faded (not completely, but mostly). It does not matter if you are sleeping, but sometimes I can feel a little dizzy during the day."


"I agree with the other review.  This product has been a life saver for me.  It has completely taken away my other symptoms.  The only drawback for me is fatigue, but honestly I can live with it considering everything else that I am dealing with prior to taking this medication."


"I was on Gilenya (Fingolimod) for 6 months, but because of raised liver function have been take off it. Like most comments I have read, I was so glad to stop injecting after 4 years (avonex) and taking a pill. I have not yet started new treatment but using regular vit d and exersise seems to be working at the moment - (reading comments about insurance cover or not - I am from UK an love the NHS) Gilenya (Fingolimod) did make me feel better and was disappointed to have to stop treatment"


"Reduced clusters from three every day to one every three to four days !!"


"My doctor recommended a gildess fe 1/20 when I complained of the water retention I experienced from Ortho Tri Cyclen (which left my skin clear). Well, this pill does not cause bloating but my skin immediately broke out terribly along my cheeks, jawline & chin. I decided to stick it out since aside from the acne I had no other side effects but the breakouts lasted way longer than I anticipated (about 6 mo). I still get the occasional pimple along the jawline but I'm hoping that they will become less frequent. Taking evening primrose oil (1300mg 2x/day) along with the pill seems to help calm inflammation and lessen hyper-pigmentation from the breakouts ."


"I suffer from GAD, panic attacks and digestive issues. I am grateful for being prescribed this medication. It has saved me from dozens of visits to the emergency room. Just 0.25mg once in the morning takes off the edge so that I can get on with my day. I tapered off my daily use after 1 year with not too much difficulty except for dizziness, headaches and some anxiety (over 6-8 weeks) Now I just take it twice a week as needed. Some of the side effects that I experience while on this medication is slight forgetfulness and eyes seem sensitive to bright lights. Key is using the lowest dose possible that works for you."


"I am a 24 year old, and have been on birth control since grade 10 (16 years old). I have been on all hormonal birth controls there are. My favorite BY FAR is the Nuvaring, my side effects are minimal and include general birth control side effects such as thickening mucous and bloating. I am not moody nor has it made me gain weight. Compared to other birth control the needle (Depo) made me bloated and cranky and I felt very uncomfortable, the patch was alright. I was not a fan of having it stuck to my body for a week at a time but it would be my second favorite. The pill (minus taking it everyday being a pain in the ass) Ortho Tri-Cyclen made me sick after the first pill in each pack, and Yaz I found gave me no side effects but increased breast size."


"Absolutely saved my life.....I have suffered with OCD and panic attacks my whole life....about 3 years ago it got worse and lead all the way to agoraphobia....I went on a few meds.....after  being on Prozac for a few months and it deff helping I asked my regular MD to try Remeron....I can't tell you how amazing my life is now....I am doing things I didnt think were possible......absolutely amazing for appetite I've been 140 my whole life... dropped down to 120 from anxiety after 3 months of this drug I'm at 168....please try this....its unlike any other med I've tried...if you're like how I was you're probably looking at all this stuff in fear.....don't take a risk.....get your life back...."


"I want to thank everyone for posting their experiences on this site.  While I have been reading everyone's posts for weeks, I have never shared.  I abused perks and morphine for over 5 years. I finally got the strength to find a doctor that is certified to prescribe Suboxone about 2 weeks ago. Appointment was yesterday at 7:30 AM, a few hours before I would be in full blown withdrawal. I took My first dose at 5:30 PM and in less than an hour felt like a new person. It took away all my withdrawal symptoms without making me feel groggy. It has only been a day, but I feel hope. I can't remember the last time I felt hope."


"I was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis and/or COPD.  When I get a cold it usually goes straight to my chest and I end up coughing for days,  Liquid Mucinex is the only thing that kept the cold out of my chest! "


"Since Xanax is so short-acting, it should be a well thought decision to use for panic disorder. However, all people are different, and metabolize the medication differently. So, for some, like me, Xanax worked better than other medicines. For 15 years, I am so thankful that any benzodiazepine is available, as my panic disorder is moderately severe."


"I had Mirena inserted in August of 2015. Because I have no kids, it was quite painful but not unbearable to have it inserted. The pain only last a brief moment during insertion. Afterwards I did find myself with menstrual cramps for weeks afterwards,  maybe for the first month. I did however see a huge reduction in my amount of monthly bleeding. After a few months it would be just drops, not even enough to fill a panty liner. I do find that I still may get the cramps, but not always the bleeding. I tend to spot from time to time around my period time, but it's extremely light and short. Overall I do like having it and it's much better than the patch and ring which I've used in the past. I like it because I don't have to do anything extra."


"My 7 year old son was recently diagnosed as ADHD and I was really hesitant to put him on medicines but when I took him to the doctor she said yes no doubt he had ADHD so they put him on Vyvanse at 30 mg. The first day and I was ready to cry myself. It was like he had eaten a whole gallon of ice cream he could not stop talking and did not sleep the first 2 nights, but I am really happy with the outcome. He is so much better. I can hear my thoughts now so I am a believer in the medicines it worked for him."


"I use this for my pancreatitis, NASH, and inflamed spleen. I have other health issues as well. Currently this works far better than Vicodin, or Darvocet. Those two did nothing for me with the pain, this at least takes the edge off, though. At times it does make me sleepy and drowzy at work."


"I have a colostomy and this stuff filled my bag completely in an hour. I hate the taste and really having a hard time drinking the water after. I'm small and don't have that much room."


"I get yeast infections pretty much anytime I'm put on a strong antibiotic. Usually I go to the gyno for diflucan , but I didn't have the time. I read some good - some iffy reviews on the Monistat 1, but I decided to try it anyway. I didn't have a whole lot of itching or burning to begin with I just had the funky discharge and some burning when I pee. The little egg suppository was fine and about an hour after I didn't feel any symptoms. I had forgotten about the cream so about three hours after the suppository I decided to try the cream. It took about three minutes and I was racing back to the bathroom because my vag was on FIRE. Two and a half hours later after that incident and I am still itchy and burning and kinda miserable. so the egg is good, the cream is the bad one!"


"I have major depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.  Most of the meds I tried over the last 14 years made me gain huge amounts of weight, killed my sex drive, had me twitching as I tried to sleep, or I had insomnia.  I found that to keep the worst side effects (not sleeping/poor sleep) at bay, I had to take lower doses that were barely managing my depression and anxiety and I was still gaining weight and had no sex drive.  My new dr. suggested Viibryd.  I had minor GI issues and gas the first couple weeks but those have gone.  I am on 20mg/day and feel wonderful. I feel normal. No side effects!  Seems from the reviews this is a love it or hate it medication.  I would recommend that anyone at least try it. "


"I have found Seroquel extremely helpful for my anxiety. I take a low dose and within the hour my anxiety is gone and it also helps me sleep better. The only BAD thing I have to say about it is I've had vision problems and my doctor and eye doctor believe its related the to Seroquel."


"My eyes had been bothering me so much, they are constantly red and irritated, gritty feeling no matter what I do from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. I decided to try Zyrtec because my eyes were so bothersome, and antihistamine eyedrops didn't work. I've been taking it for 2 weeks, and I have never seen my eyes so white and feeling so good. I don't have to use eyedrops at all now. However there is one downside: Zyrtec makes me feel exhausted. It's not like when you take Benedryl and you feel like you could fall asleep standing up, it's more of a foggy feeling and you just feel like you could go for a nap, but the feeling never goes away even if you do nap."


"I have been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for almost 9 Months & I have to say that I can't complain. This birth control has worked very well with my body, few days or none periods, I do actually notice I get really emotional. Haven't noticed any difference in sex drive. Overall great pill."


"Helped limitedly for cough, but lead to severe diarrhea.....will not take again."


"I've taken this med 3 times now & every time I've had bad experiences with the side effects. Nausea and bad stomach aches. I also had a hard time taking the pills b/c of the horrible taste. I have learned to cut them in half & take with orange juice, It Works!"


"Works well on back itch."


"In two days I had wonderful relief from severe dermatitis herpetiformis and was amazed. But in just one week came a lot of the severe side effects and not sure that I can continue on dapsone. I have been on 25mg a day instead of the 50mg my doctor prescribed.  A few days later I tried reducing that by cutting the pill in half with no relief from the severe side effects."


"I was on Wellbutrin HCL SR 200mg for 10mos and I noticed a significant improvement with my depression. However, I started to crave cocaine because my Dopamine levels are low.  My Doctor switched me to Aplenzin 348mg ER.  I have been on it for 2 weeks now and I have noticed a great improvement with my concentration, ability to get projects completed and not focusing on cocaine cravings. It has helped with my emotional eating too.  I actually feel like I am a normal 40 yr old married mother of 2 boys. I feel like cleaning my house instead of sitting on the couch in front of the T.V. all day.  The only minimal side effect I have is increased sweating.  I am hoping that this will subside after a few months of taking this medication."


"I developed depression a few months ago and felt that I had truly lost my mind. I was beyond sad, crying constantly, terrifying intrusive thoughts, lost all interest in hobbies, friends, I thought that was it for me. I didn't feel that I would ever be my normal self ever again. Zoloft has completely eliminated my depression. The first week was almost unbearable but I cannot stress how much better I began to feel after about 2weeks. It is a miracle drug, I truly cannot express how well it has worked for me."


"Been on effexor xr for approximately 12 years! I regret taking it. Am on 225mg per day, doctor wants me to taper down to 150 per day! It's a damn nightmare I'm on day 2 of being on 150 mg and the withdrawal symptoms are horrible. I feel dizzy nauseous feels like my head is hot feel very tense, very moody, and  short fuse. I could go on."


"It is a miracle."


"I suffer from recurring urinary tract infections and I take Macrobid daily, it works great for me."


"I started using Protopic on Dec. 1st and alternating it with Desoximetasone per my doctors orders. At first the dermatitis cleared up on my hands (that would crack and bleed and then the skin would get hard and peel off and once it peeled off the new skin was very tender and there was a lot of pain.  Once I started using Protopic--the condition seemed to clear up 90% but never 100%--well here it is Feb 28th and I have spent the entire week since Sunday in bed.  I have every side effect listed--my hands itch like crazy, have headache (worst I have ever had) my flu like symptoms are the chills, runny nose (have gone through 2 boxes of Kleenex, sore throat. Hurts to swallow, muscle pains. Absolutely no energy/unusual tiredness."


"I am 31 yrs old and have fought migraines for 9 years. I took Topamax several years ago and decided I did not like side effects and wanted to try other medications. After trying MANY different medications and being sent from one doctor to another for daily chronic migraines that took over my life nothing was working. Recently I decided to give Topamax one more try. Within 2 weeks I have felt better than I have in two years. I still have small but manageable headaches and expect them to get better because I am slowly upping dose to 4/day. Good luck to all of you with migraines, if you haven't tried Topamax you should give it a try."


"I've been on this medication twice in the past two years. First I was on focalin then vyvanse for about five months till I found out I was pregnant. It helps me a lot. I can focus a lot better but sometimes its hard to tell what I'll be focusing on. Sometimes its cleaning or sometimes its researching a very unimportant subject online."


"I took my fourth dose (0.6) of Victoza last night. Easiest thing in the world...I've never self administered an injection before and this has been easier and shockingly, without pain!
It was suggested to me, that to avoid the nausea, I ought to eat less each time I eat and eat s-l-o-w.....which makes me more thoughtful about the food I eat. Thus far, I have had no nausea and I have dropped a few pounds already, which keeps me motivated to keep doing what I'm doing. I'm not happy to be on "shots" but it could be a whole lot worse! I'm looking forward to more weight loss."


"Nitrofurantoin SURVIVAL KIT: LUBRICATING EYE DROPS.  Eyes will feel like there's sand in them. EAR PLUGS.  Everything you hear will irritate you & hurt your ears.  DVDs.  You won't be doing much but laying in bed. CAFFEINE IN A TABLET: Your head will feel like it's going to explode. This constricts blood vessles.  If all this fails, BENADRYL. Sleep it off....ADVANCED SURVIVAL: (not making recommendations. Saying what worked for me)  I split my Nitro Caps in half and spread total dose throughout day. Significantly less side-effects. Anything to reduce head pressure. I used a BetaBlocker & caffeine. BENADRYL !!!  The Tinnitus & stiff neck will go away.  It's a rough ride, but better than needing a kidney transplant.  Good luck my friends."


"I'm on my 2nd pack of Sprintec and the biggest side effect I have gotten is bad acne around my jaw line and chin, cystic acne.  I've had to use Proactive so it wouldn't get worse. More headaches and body pain. My period was a little heavier and more painful then when I was on Minastrin 24. My period came 2 days earlier then before. I'm not sure about weight gain yet but Minastrin was terrible, I gained about 15 pounds."


"I caught my first cold sore in 3rd grade from a friend not realizing you shouldn't share water and am stuck with this virus for the rest of my life. Usually I'll get one annoying sore outbreak every 2-4 years (lucky I know but my immune system is strong and my behavior isn't risky for them) I was up late in my room on a Friday due to summer (aprox 1 am) and got that terrifying itch. Immediately I tore my bathroom apart looking for abreva. I put a bunch on but the sore still broke out. Since its summer I was able to stay home with no makeup and get lots of sleep. I put abreva on about 4 times a day along with sterilizing with rubbing alcohol and by Monday it was gone! Life saver if you have time to be antisocial."


"I've been on Citalopram for 5 months now and it hasn't helped me at all. I haven't had any bad side effects to show it's actually working, and I haven't had any improvement with my anxiety and depression. "


"I'm three days post operation for a hemorrhoidectomy and a fissure repair. The pain is horrible, but the Toradol is working well. It works much better than the narcotics prescribed (Tramadol)."


"I have had rheumatoid arthritis like symptoms for over 2 years with no regular treatment, only occasional prednisone when the symptoms were too severe to bear. After my symptoms seemed like they never went away and I switched doctors, I have just received my 4th dose of Enbrel and immediately felt a difference after the first shot. My coverage does seem to wear off around day 5, but I still feel better than I have felt in 2.5 years. I would recommend this medicine to anyone considering a treatment that won't alter your life's hectic schedule."


"I suffer from major depression/anxiety. I would cry, panic, and feel negative about everything. I tried Lexapro in my teens and it worked great for me. However, when it returned years later my doc suggested 20mg Prozac as it would be more "energizing". The first 2-3 weeks were unpleasant side effects such as fatigue, increased anxiety, and insomnia. After the 3rd week up until the 5th week I did gradually feel better, I didn't cry or really feel depressed anymore. However, at the 6th week it seemed to stop working, I began to feel more anxious than depressed again, and felt very uneasy all the time, plus I experienced digestive issues. Also, I feel no more energized whatsoever. Prozac helped me somewhat, but it didn't really do it for me."


"After taking this drug for the past 4 years my femur broke while I was walking, I fell and could not get up. There was no trauma causing this fall. I now find it takes an average of 8.5 months to heal, and healing may not be complete and pain free."


"Incredible change 1st day after taking. More energy, less pain. Could barely get uo or down stairs before...now no problems."


"I have had severe insomnia since being diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1999.  I will be awake all night without meds.  Ambien was the worst as far as side effects--should be off the market.  I now take 2 mg of Clonazepan and 10 mg of Doxepin.  Still takes me hours to fall asleep, but at least I do.  Best I've taken so far.  Only side effect for me is that I don't feel low blood sugars until the 40's (I'm diabetic).  So I check my BS often.  Have not slept through a night since 1998.  Hoping to increase dosage next doctor visit."


"Ambien does the trick. However, you build a tolerance fairly quickly. I also had many many weird experiences the 3 years I was on it. I stopped taking however, and now take Trazodone, but will likely switch back in a year or so."


"I was prescibed Xanax and it works well for things like panic attacks. I do not like that it makes me loopy by taking my prescibed mg, and if I cut it in half I feel that it doesn't work at all. Xanax works very well for short term anxiety and if highly addictive so it is best to take it when you absolutely NEED it. A Prn that is supposed to work like Xanax but isn't addictive starts with a V so ask your doctor about that. :)"


"I took Chantix in 2006.  I was 46 years old with a 30 year smoking history which found me at 2 packs a day by 2006.  In less than 10 days, I had quit smoking, no withdrawals and have never had a desire to smoke in the 11 years that I am smoke free.  I never thought I would quit let alone go 11 years without a desire to ever smoke again."


"I will start off by saying this medicine is very effective and has worked for my light anxiety and depression, and  very excited about it! Like many others that have reviewed, Celexa did make me tired for the first few weeks and did have an impact on my sex drive. Overall I gladly accept the side effects for the calm/relaxed feeling that I have.  It has surprisingly made my meetings at work and public speaking more manageable. I am 34 years old and have tried self-medicating with plenty of sleep and exercise and healthy diet (and positive thinking). After years of 'dealing with it' I just asked the doctor for something mild enough to lift me up and he suggested Celexa; and I am so glad he did.  It's made a difference in my life!"


"I've been on this pill for years now .. I actually like this one so much better than some of the others I took prior to it.  I have little to no period each month, no mood swings, overall .. I'm very happy with it."


"Took for 3 months and lost over 50lbs, made this a lifestyle change, not just a quick fix. Have been off for 6 months and lost another 10lbs. Doctor put me on it again today to lose the other 25lbs I need to be at a healthy weight. 5'10 started at 252lbs goal is 165lbs, maintained my weight for 6 months with healthy diet and exercise 3-4xs a week. Went from a tight 18 to a normal size 10. I do feel like I have less energy when I am not on it but my appetite stayed the same once I wasn't taking it anymore. This medication only works if you devote yourself to a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. Good luck to you all and great job for taking the step to a healthier you."


"Going on 8 days of heavy period that started in the middle of my pack.  I have a new boyfriend so this isn't working for me"


"Its a wonderful xanax alternative without the yucky withdraw symptoms. There is hope out there and this medication is proof. I love it!"


"Side effects far worse than  Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) it's self. Constantly nauseous, made no difference to headaches/pressure, suffered with slight breathing difficulties & palpitations, the tingling in hands and feet were more like cramp than tingling in the end... the list goes on.."


"I have been on 80 mg Uloric with  colchicine  for the last 18 months. I used to get attacks about once every 3 months, while only taking colchicine, now with Uloric I get an attacks almost every month. It took about 6 months for my purine levels to fall to a normal range. but still attacks, I am saddened by the results. My doctor says to continue and he expects it could be another year before I don't get attacks. I don't believe him and am seeking a second opinion. My attacks typically are in my feet and last 7 to 10 days. I presently have a rare attack in my knee and I can hardly walk without severe pain. I have an insurance plan that basically covers this."


"I think Viibryd is a pretty good medicine. I've been on so many different antidepressants. I'm always concerned about weight gain as a side effect because that to be completely honestest would make me not take it. However this is really good in that aspect and the only side effect I've had was diarrhea the first 3 days of taking it. "


"Im 18yrs old and 34weeks pregnant and this is my first yeast infection....i bought the kroger brand 3-day combo pack im now going through the first night very mild itching with the meds no burning at all and i feel really relieved compared to the symptoms i was having before trying the meds. Hopefully the next 2 nights are this easy!"


"I got on Jolessa because I get horrible migraines when I get my period, so having it just 4 times a year is much better than 12/13 (I got it every 22 days). I gained a little weight but other than that, I love it. I've never had any issues with other side effects and I've been on it for a year and a half."


"It alleviates my depression. But I have some headache, I am not sure if it is caused by the drug"


"7 year sufferer, 2 1/2 years on UVB and laser therapy. I've only taken 2 shot and I'm noticing a huge difference already.  My hands no longer look like I was in a fire and one leg is almost totally clear. So far, no side effects.  I had instant side effects with Otezla-from the first dose.  I'm giving this an 9 only because of the insurance issue.  Even thou they approved Otezla, I'm having a hard time getting Cosentyx approved.
Hoping this is my miracle cure."


"I was prescribed this medication to take 3 times a day over 25 days due to having 2 periods a month and spotting in between. But I finished the tablets, got a period 3 days later but I'm still having the bleeding issues! It's day 10 now and the tablets have not worked and I'm not happy about constantly having a period, but no birth control agrees with my body."


"I started this birth control about 3 years ago because I was experiencing heavy and painful periods and I love it! It gave me barely any side effects and it tastes good, like mint. My periods happen around day 3 of the sugar pill and last for about 2-3 days and are very light. I recommend this birth control for anyone!"


"It's been seven years since my husband and I quit smoking using Chantix. I never thought it could happen. I struggled a bit with depression, but I never considered harming myself or others. I don't know if my depression was due to the Chantix, a bipolar (I'm diagnosed) episode, withdraw from nicotine, the loss of "friends" and routines associated with smoking or a combination of any or all four.  After more than 25 years each - and every patch, gum, hypnosis, cold turkey, meditation and acupuncture method we could try - we quit smoking using Chantix in 2006."


"I have had vaginal issues for 3 weeks, tried to wait it out for one week, went to Dr for pill the second week, then they gave me terconazole. I have not been able to sleep since it started three weeks ago but with the terconazole I feel like I am absolutely on fire. I took the third dose hoping that would stop but it is worse now than the first night. I switched to a different plunger because the one provided had sharp edges and was very painful to use, the other plunger worked great but the burning is just unbearable, and I woke sick this morning, didn't connect it to the med until now. I got dizzy and nauseous feeling and the burning is horrible."


"Ok almost 3 months into taking Nora Be and I'm back with an update... So I had break through bleeding first 2 months but slowly went away. You have to make sure to take pill exact same time every day.

I've lost weight, typically looking at BC makes me gain weight.

All the pain and bleeding I had for years with endo is gone. I haven't been taking week 4 pills and jumping to a new pack but I just read somewhere that pop don't have placebo pill so the 4th week is also hormone? I'm not 100% on that yet.

Ok back to side effects... No more acne, bug skin feels dry. I'm dry everywhere unfortunately.  Small price to pay for pain free, cyst free existence. No headaches, no nausea, no more break through bleeding.

Will update in anklet month..."


"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I first got this and was unsure but when I used it I had no redness flakiness nothing and in 1 week 90% of my acne was gone and in 2 weeks I was acne free and I've been using this for months and I feel confident and not scared to sweat or get dirty as I used Duac in the night and all day I'm protected from acne and I ain't jd spots for like 4 months"


"Sugar down to 80 to 125 from 450 to 525 in 2 months on 300 mg. And 1000mg of metformin. No insulin shots. Little to no side effects. Drink lots of lemon water everyday."


"I started taking this birth control 6 months ago. I had some initial spotting which later turned into bleeding throughout my 3rd and 4th weeks. Every month. Every month I was bleeding for 2 weeks. I thought it would go away after the 3rd month, because that's what the general consensus was on the internet, but it didn't, so I'm not switching to a high dose pill. However, other than the annoyance of having to constantly buy tampons, I had no other side effects. No acne, no moodiness, no weight gain (I actually ended up going from 117 to 111 while on the pill for those of you who might be worried about weight gain as much as I was), no breast tenderness, or any substantial change in sex drive. I wish I didn't have to switch."


"Started Contrave Monday morning and decided today it's not for me. I was looking for help with weight loss, but side effects far outweigh results for me. I asked my wife and kids to notice if I acted any differently and almost immediately, they said I was grumpy. I felt short tempered, and agitated after day one. I also had a TERRIBLE time sleeping this week. Night one, I went to sleep at 10:30, I was wide awake at 1:08! I kept checking the clock until falling asleep close to 5:00. Maybe lack of rest contributed to impatience? Wednesday, I felt a little foggy, even wondered if I should be driving. Yesterday was last straw, I nitpicked my wife half the day over things we usually laugh about. Weight loss 2 lbs. Too mad to eat. No magic pill."


"This medication acts fast, causes me be be jittery, my blood pressure is low and then settles down after a few hours, then my blood pressure rises again. I take 2 a day."


"Good"


"Best medication for GERD on the market. It disappeared from South Africa in 2008 and I've had to take ranitidine since then. Ranitidine is not as effective and I would prefer to take Axid again but cannot get it."


"Has helped very well with the depression and does a good job balancing things out so I don't often have a really low low or a very high high."


"Great, fast acting med. Works extremely well but the short lasting nature keeps me from giving it a 10."


"I just had Skyla put in five minutes ago and I think my review was more of the insertion because I don't know how it's going to react with my body obviously since it's the first day of insertion.so here's my God honest truth on how it felt when he was inserting my IUD he did briefly explained to me that when he was going to insert my IUD it was just going to feel like a cramp and when he clamped my cervix it definitely felt like a bad cramp was happening and then to measure my cervix that probably was one of the worst cramps I've ever felt it definitely was an uncomfortable feeling but if he kept telling me to breath and tell yourself you can handle  it .  It was fine obviously I made it through it's tolerable but the measure ment of the cervix and the clamp was the most uncomfortable feeling everything else is fine I walked out of there I don't even feel like I have cramps right now so everything's fine except for the insertion portion of it"


"I was just put on 50 mg of amitriptyline for extreme insomnia, anxiety, and depression. I have suffered from insomnia my entire life and my job is very stressful as a nurse working rotating shift at a hospital. I would stay up for 3 days at a time while working crazy 12 hour back to back shifts. I was at my wit's end, so exhausted, delirious, and beyond stressed. I have tried so many different medicines to help with sleep and anxiety. None have even come anywhere as close as Amitriptyline has, to giving me good sleep. I had lost hope that I would ever be able to sleep good again. Amitriptyline has SAVED me. I can fall asleep easily, I don't wake up every hour, and I sleep like a BABY! I can now function at work again.  This medicine saved me."


"Today is my first day taking Belviq at 5' and 163 lbs. My goal is to lose 40 lbs. My mom tried one of the pills yesterday and felt headache, dry mouth, body aches, and chills for a short while. She noticed her appetite was definitely suppressed. Today is my first day taking it (once a day) and I had a couple seconds of chills and thats it, no other side effects. My appetite definitely hasn't been suppressed but I'm hoping that within a few days, I will see some changes in appetite and some weight loss."


"I begin taking isotretinoin in April, expecting a 5 month course. I stopped taking it a little after the 4 month because I felt I couldn't handle the side affects anymore. Overall, one month in, I began to see improvement. My acne, redness and inflammaton ceased. I would have an occasional hormonal breakout, but as long as I left them alone, they lasted only two-three days max. The dryness on my face, arms, eyes, nose and ESPECIALLY lips was a nuisance but I learned tricks here and there to deal with it. Other side affects I experienced was slight hallucinations, always being tired, easily angered, joint pain, easily bruising, blurred vision and stomach discomfort. After these I decided it was time to stop. But I felt it was worth it!"


"I used Clobex this summer for itching and dry flakes in my scalp.  I became sick with a bad cold and later turned to pneumonia.  I was sick all summer long with trouble breathing and wheezing.  I went to an ENT and a lung doctor. None of us could figure out what was causing the lung problem.  After several months I was getting better with the breathing problems.  Last week I used Clobex again because the itching scalp came back.  Two days later I am having breathing problems.  I put 2 and 2 together, read the side effects of Clobex and breathing problems and wheezing are the first side effects listed.  All that suffering because I did not read the medical bulletins earlier."


"Useful for rosacea that is not extremely out of control. If you have just a few pustules it can be helpful when used regularly."
