"This is my first time on any high blood pressure medication. My new primary care physician noticed that recently it's been high during my visits so he decided to put me on Bystolic. The day he put be on this medication, (before I started it) I was driving to work in the morning and suffered what I can only assume a panic attack feels like (which is why I went to my doctor later that day). My heart was pounding through my chest, my face and arms went numb, chest pain and dizziness. Anyway, I have been on it for less than a month and have seen no negative side effects yet and my BP has been normal. The only reason I didn't give this a 10 is because I have only been on it a short amount of time. We'll see if I get the same results over time."


"I've been constipated over a week. A friend recommended Dulcalax.  I took two tablets with several glasses of water and about 2 to 3 hours later,  I felt a normal urge to go to the bathroom and did.  I've read reviews on here about terrible cramps. I had none. Will use again, if needed. Maybe drinking a lot of water helps."


"This medication has been so extremely helpful to me.  After years of having restless legs syndrome (it runs in our family) I have been able to sleep at nights.  Thanks goodness for this medication."


"Well only been on it for 8 days don't feel to good and still smoking. My chest hurts, no energy, was up most of last night, and when I do smoke I feel sick so it must be doing something to my body. I pray it starts working because I'm ready to be a non smoker. I do not like feeling sick."


"Absolutely love this product when I have a migraine coming on."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"Only complaint was fishy after taste"


"I started treatment two months ago with a viral load of 38000 and T-Cell of 259. Today I got my lab results and my T-cell was 419 and viral load was 120 and I haven't had any negative effects since my start of treatment."


"My Way worked for me as emergency contraception. To help other users decide if this right for them, here is so information about my situation:

I regularly take B.C. pills Ortho-Novum 1/35. This month, I messed up the first week of my pack. I missed Tues, had unprotected sex on Wed, but then missed Thurs too. (I made up the missed pills according to pack instructions.) Technically, that was two missed pills in the first week following my period so I took My Way on Friday afternoon because there was the risk for pregnancy. I continued the rest of the pack normally. I did not experience any side effects unlike with Plan B One Step. My period came one day late during the placebo pills (week 4 of the pack). I am 24, 4'11" and under 90 lbs."


"I had unknowingly suffered from ADHD-PI for my entire life. I was constantly in trouble for losing my things, not paying attention in class, forgetting conversations, being unable to understand conversations, so on and so forth. My life was a wreck. My parents constantly told me that I was lazy and worthless. After I joined the military, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Adderall was the first and only medication that I was put on. I went from being the clumsy loser to the office hero. I recently started college and so far, I'm getting straight A's. This medication makes me cool, logical and focused. I took off a star because it makes me forget to eat sometimes and that makes me tired."


"I have used Mirena for over 6 years, I had one reinserted after the 5 years was up. My first was placed not long after having my son, it did not hurt very much. I bled for a few hours and cramped but it went away quickly. The removal and 2nd insertion was only painful for 10 minutes. I have spotted a few times in the last 6 years. No cramps, No mood swings, and best of all I don't get pregnant! I used to have the worst periods, the ones with cramps that had you on the floor. Ever since Mirena I have not experienced anything like that. Its amazing I am very happy I have stuck with it, no regrets."


"I was put on Tri Sprintec when I started getting my periods every two weeks, and was on it for three months. It fixed my period problem, but I had never had a problem with acne until starting this. My acne got so much worse and would clear up instantly once I started the sugar pills. I went from a D to a DD which is kind of annoying but I didn't gain much weight at least. The worst part, however, was the tenderness in my breasts, it was horrible. Painful to the touch, running or going to the gym was horribly uncomfortable. Just like the acne, during the fourth week on sugar pills the pain disappeared only to return again with a new pack. "


"I have Lupus. Very beneficial for me. Made me functional again.  I am extremely thankful for this medication."


"I have been taking Yaz for about 10 years, a few years ago I was given Loryna as a generic for Yaz and didn't think anything of it assuming it should be the same. While taking the generic I experienced extremely heavy periods that would last at least a week with a lot of blood clots. Typically my period is extremely light/no blood clots and lasts 3 days. I became very emotional and had drastic mood swings. Eventually my heavy period came and then didn't leave for an entire month, this made me realize the only thing that had changed was switching to generic Yaz. Once I switched back to yaz all these symptoms stopped. I ONLY get Yaz now."


"It worked well for sleep but I could not remember eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I woke up with it all over my pillow and cheeks weird.. I felt hung over in the morning. Also was taking Geodon and Effexor. I don't take anything now. It's been 3 years. I'm doing good."


"It worked great for me. 1500mg in one shot, the swelling was almost gone the same day and it healed quickly. What a relief? That was 10 days ago."


"I've tried so many pills, and this one is another flop for me. Still get awful cramps, period isn't regulated, and the worst part of this one, for me, is that I have gained nearly 10 pounds. I work out 6-7 days per week, am training for a marathon, and still have felt bloated and flabby on this pill. It's incredibly disheartening and frustrating."


"I am over 60 years old, have afib with medication, have rheumatoid arthritis on medication.  I was given levaquin to take for bronchitis infections and ear infection previously treated with zpac.  I only took two pills, and had tendon problems in my legs so bad I could barely walk,  I quit taking immediately, it took a while to get over the pain in my legs.  I should never have been given it due to pre existing conditions and age."


"I, like many others here, am on a daily regimen of opiate pain medication, which as mentioned causes horrible constipation. Ideally, of course I would love to not take the opiates, but as I have late stage cancer, that is just not an option for me. I am prescribed 4, that's right folks, 4 different things to help with bowel movements. A stool softener, a laxative pill, a laxative syrup, and purelax/mirelax whichever.  The only thing that ever gets things moving is the purelax and it's almost instantaneously for me.  If it wasn't for this I don't know what I would do. I've gone over two weeks without making a bowel movement and can tell you it's the most uncomfortable I've ever been in my life. I took one dose and boom, kicked right in"


"Had to stop taking this after day 4 of 7. First time I was prescribed this. I am Allergic to sulfa antibiotics and usually have good results with amoxicillin with no side effects. This drug Gave me headaches, made me tired and experienced the most severe gas pains in my abdomen I've ever had for hours each day. Did help clear the UTI after a few days though.  Hopefully 4 days was enough to keep UTI away."


"I've been taking Levora for a little over a year. This was my first time using an oral contraceptive and it is amazing. I haven't gotten pregnant, my sex drive has increased and my acne isn't as bad. When I take the reminder pills I usually don't start my period the first day which scares me. I crave food the week before my period and sometimes during. This pill serves its purpose so far, but me and my boyfriend also use condoms the majority of the time."


"Having a yeast infection is far better than using this medicine.    I inserted the medicine before bedtime as per the instructions and within a few minutes my v felt like a nest of fire ants had set up shop and were dancing to Rick James -Superfreak.    Excruciating pain and burning.    I did not sleep a wink and in fact had to cancel my plans the following day as well as the burning was still there.  I took several baths trying to wash away some of the medication but it has a thick oily texture and is not the easiest to remove.    I am in shock this product is still on the shelves based on all the negative reactions to it.   The box should certainly contain a warning-USE at YOU OWN RISK, or contain some type of cooling  gel.  Never again."


"Loved this!  I took three weeks and then started a new pack so I never had a period.  Loved that!  Since it is so low in estrogen, I was able to do that.  Took for 10+ years but got off as I got close to 40 years old.  Recommended it to all of my friends and everyone who switched over loved it."


"This has been a miracle for me, and I truly hope that it can help others! For the past two years, I've had chronic refractory idiopathic urticaria, nonresponsive to antihistamines and with angioedema. Four months ago, I began an omalizumab treatment course of 300 mg every 4 weeks. Within days of the first injection, I immediately noticed a huge decrease in the redness, size, and swelling of the hives, and since then, I've noticed a gradual reduction in the symptoms. I've been hive-free for almost a full month now. The only downside: without insurance, this is extremely expensive. But for me, I consider it absolutely worth it."


"This is a miracle for migraines. Works within 5 minutes and migraine GONE. You will have energy and get on with your day. I am 43 yrs old and have suffered with migraines since teen. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO YOUR DR AND ASK FOR THIS MEDICINE. SUFFER NO MORE."


"My entire functioning life is over with the removal of soma from all Dr's ability to write. Without Soma I'm having a hard time with living and working. "


"I am 16 and was recently diagnosed with ADD. I find Vyvanse extremely helpful for the first 6 hours, and then as I come off of it I often have a depressive mood swing for about an hour. I have been trying other medications but Vyvanse works the best for me (except for the mood swings). I am almost never hungry. I have lost about 22lbs in 2 months. It's important to keep a regular eating schedule. I continue to try different medications, but this one has extremely changed my life for the better in school and in social settings."


"51yr old male - High blood pressure, diabetic with bad HDL/LDL ratio (total cholesterol around 100).  I do NOT eat right (but I am getting better at it).  Been on the suspension for about a year now. I can tell by my energy level and overall 'feeling' when I take it - don't seem to have the highs and lows.  Hate the taste and texture when mixed with plain water so a lot of days I just didn't take it.  I have found that if I mix it with 8oz of water and add a shot of orange MIO that it is fine.  Also, I was taking it at night (just before bed) but I was having terrible heartburn. Now taking it in the morning and no such problem...  Only reason I didn't give it a 10 is ease of use."


"I use Breo with Spiriva once per day.  Haven't used rescue inhaler since I started taking the Breo.  Love it!"


"I've been taking Armour for several years now. Somewhere along the line all of my symptoms such as constipation, weight gain and trouble losing weight, hairloss, trouble falling asleep despite being extremely tired, low energy, headaches, brain fog, etc came back with a vengeance. My endo sees nothing wrong with my labs and tells me it must be something I'm eating. I went along with this theory until one day I went online to find out why my prescription cost went up so much. Much to my surprise I stumbled across many others like me complaining of symptoms coming back despite labwork being in range. Everyone noticed the changes came about when Forest sold! I'm switching doctors and hope to find another medication!"


"I could not make it through one day without Premarin since I had my uterus removed. I take along with 24 mg. Bio-identical testosterone from Woman's International Pharmacy. Had the surgery in 1973 and suffered for so long, they even told me I had Lyme. I was bitten by a tick and crazy as it seems,  these two hormones cured me. Go figure. I only use "name brand' Premarin like my mother and aunts used in the 50's when they used to combine Premarin and testosterone in one pill. I used to use that in the 70's 80's before bio-identical hormone cream. "


"I have been using Chantix for 2 months and it works. Although after the starter pack I started to experience panic attacks so I stopped taking it. I waited a week or so and started the second pack. Now here comes the horrible part. I have lost 50% of my hair due to Chantix. There is no mention of possible hair loss with this medication. Yes I was able to stop smoking but I think I would rather have my hair."


"This was a breath of fresh air -- it took a few days to get used to the application process.  However, in the end I am not lathering my body up, I'm not sticky and my hands are not contaminated with testosterone.  An all around win!!  No smell, not sticky and no hand contamination!!  A "


"When I realized I was diabetic I was very ill. My vision went blurry, my tongue was bleeding, sores would form and not heal on my arms, so thirsty, urinating every 15 mins etc. I have Type 2 diabetes and went on to Lantus as soon as the hospital released me. This is the best and safest way to keep your blood sugar levels normal. I have had control of my diabetes for 7 months now and it is so easy. Had to see an endocrinologist today and he tried to put me on Byetta and I told him no way will you change me from my Lantus Solostar as it never makes me feel bad and always makes me feel good and in control. Lantus is really great. "


"thought it was a miracle drug at first until I ceased feeling emotions, and I was only ever on a low dose of 75mg. Been trying to ween off this drug for 3 months now and I had brain zaps (feels like an electrical impulse going through my head), no appetite, diarrhea, head aches, dysphoria, aches & pains throughout my muscles and joints, dissociation (feels like I'm watching myself watch paint dry), tremors, and sweats. I feel hopeless and like this drug has taken my life from me for the past few months. I would NEVER recommend this to anyone ever."


"Ear infection, sinusitis -10 days of this horrible pain in my stomach, sweaty palms, feet, chest pain. Urgent care had me drink...lidocaine with maalox to kill the stomach pain. I thought I had a virus again....Dr said if it don't stop hurting in a few days I needed to go to a upper GI specialist. This pain and other side effects are not worth it"


"I was prescribed this medicine after they ran out of options as to what it could be. I only took 2 of the five pills prescribed to me. Yes I know that's bad but my throat and other symptoms cleared up and I couldn't handle the stomach problems this caused me. Terrible diarrhea and cramps, constant nausea."


"good drug for dysreflexy in spinal cord injurieds"


"I was consuming 6 mg every three hours. I broke my pelvis in 4 places. Pain was okay as long as I was using this medicine."


"Ambien is like a little piece of heaven in a pill. I have been on 12.5 Cr since 2009. Before this I tried all the others. Ambien is the only drug that helps me fall asleep. I  recommend  this drug."


"Have been on Protonix for about 10 yrs. Recently was admitted to the hospital due to pancreatitis. I was vomiting non-stop for 4 days and could only get meds via I.V. during my 7 day stay. I found that Protonix I.V. seemed to work almost better at least worked faster and lasted 24hrs until my next dose the following day."


"Have used fexofenadine seasonally, August through to the first hard freeze in my area. About three years ago, started using fexofenadine daily. An early AM 180 mg dosage. During the entire period, I have been under the supervision of an allergy specialist (doctor).

Fexofenadine completely eliminates all hay fever type seasonal allergies. Period. About three years ago, I noticed that it also greatly reduces multiple food intolerances that substantially had limited my diet. Since then I have taken the drug daily. About two years ago, I noticed that my blood pressure was lowered from around 139 / 89 to 110 / 78. That effect continues when I use it."


"Sounds very dramatic, but it has literally changed my life. No more sweaty palms. It's definitely caused my armpits to sweat less, but it hasn't completely stopped that yet.  Be aware that you have to apply it every single night (at least at first) and it causes itching and redness, and if you use it on your hands, they will be very dry.  However, it's a very small price to pay because it really does stop sweating. For me, it took about 1 1/2-2 weeks before my hands completely stopped sweating, but there was noticeable difference the next day.  Worth every penny."


"Started at 25 mg upped to 50 then 100 over 2 week periods. Feel absolutely horrible. Had rash on face at onset now I feel

dizzy, lightheaded, headache, can't handle any smells or smoke, nausea, acid reflux, burping and bruising.

Have backed down to 50 and eventually to 25 to get the hell off!

Can't drive,  go anywhere or function."


"I've been on alesse 2 months now, I find this pill is pretty good; except the first month I bled the whole time, then it went away. I have not gained weight or had mood swings or acne which is great, but It's like now I have chronic fatigue... Coffee only fixes it so much, but everything else is great."


"Worked!! I know many of you ladies are freaking out way too much. That was my condition the last 2 weeks. However I just got my period!!

Me and my boyfriend had protected sex at around 3 am on 23rd Nov. (I was fertile then, my period ended before a week). The condom broke and we only realised that after he came. I took plan B about 10 hours later. I had no symptoms for a week. I did have a little gastrointestinal distress this past week. My stomach was bloated since yesterday(4th) and i started cramping, just got my period today, 5th December.

Don't worry, the pill is mostly likely to work, especially if taken within the first 24 hours. But do make sure to be very careful next time because this pill used too often can cause many problems"


"It is expensive but it's worth it to protect my kidneys. I am a diabetic."


"Im a 35 year old male suffering from Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Panic/Anxiety Disorder, and Anoroxia Nervosa. My Bipolar has been extremely resistant to most meds. Ill be okay on a combination of meds for awhile then they stop working. The Bipolar depression would get extremely severe and I've been on dozens of medications over the years without much positive results. After being hospitalized in a very good psychiatric treatment center I was put on a combination of meds that have changed my life. Fetzima was one of them. I've noticed marked improvement in my depression and it has also helped with my anxiety as well (which is great because I no longer need benzodiazepines which were easily abusable). Very happy!"


"I have been on clarithromycin for about 4 days now. It gives me a terrible taste in my mouth. I'm constantly thirsty, which leads to frequent bathroom breaks and the second night I was up most of the night sleeping very lightly and having anxiety. I haven't slept well at all in the 4 days that I have taken it and I notice its causing my heart to palpitate. I have a terrible sinus infection and do want to stop the medicines, but I feel like a zombie and I'm looking quite pale. "


"I've been suffering with depression coupled with anxiety for over 10 years.  Its been hell ruining every aspect of my life (loss of relationships, my business etc.) After seeing so many psychiatrists I had lost hope and was getting very close to ending my life so tried to get help one more time.  For the first time I met a young Doctor who listened.  He prescribed me Zoloft 50mg.  The change = I left my house within 2 weeks (major agoraphobia for 8 months) started talking to people, going out again with friends, preparing to launch my business again and I feel happy. Not manic, HAPPY and measured. I'm praying that I stay this way.  There is hope out there. Don't give up guys. :)"


"It worked but was just far too expensive."


"Been taking this medication for almost a week. I felt relief almost immediately after taking the medication. Right now, after six days of taking it I'm up with the runs. Ughhhh, stomach cramps, and runny bowel motions."


"Causes extreme drowsiness.  Can sleep anywhere and any time.  Tough to do any driving of over an hour or two.  Slowed metabolism and resulting weight gain.  Motivation is gone.  Just want to sit around and do nothing.  Erectile dysfunction is also a problem but addressed with other very expensive drugs."


"I have been on Femara for 3 years now, following 5 years on Tamoxifen as part of the Tango treatment for breast cancer. I have experienced severe joint pain, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, etc. But thought it was worth the effects in order to keep me 'cancer free'. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. I have also issues with bone problems i.e. broke my foot 4 years ago & chipped my knee joint. But hey I'm still here. Keep persevering girls!"


"I started taking Augmentin for a bad sinus infection. I got to the last 3 doses, when I went to see my pcp, & I told her I didn't feel any better. She prescribed cephalexin 500 mg twice daily. My sinus infection was gone within two days. I took probiotics with it the entire 10 days & after the last dose, took 2 Diflucan. It worked great for me."


"I smoked 2.5 packs per day for 38 years. At age 52 I finally decided I'd had enough wheezing and yellow fingers. At the 4th day of taking Chantix, my good old cigarettes tasted dry and I wondered why I was still smoking. On day 8 I put them down and threw away 3 packs of cigarettes. I'm on day 25 without smoking now. I still have some urges but they occur less often and are less severe. Being around others that are smoking hasn't bothered me at all. I am amazed that I never had the foggy head or other withdrawal symptoms I'd had in the past (when I tried to quit). The only side effects I've had are vivid dreams. Some of these were nightmares, but they are still just dreams. I can put up with a few of those in order to quit."


"I didn't like this medication athat all.  I became very mean and didn't care about what I said or who it may of hurt.  It also noticed occasional memory loss of short periods of time.  Just say no!!!!"


"Bystolic reduced the blood pressure, but it comes with the price. Chaotic sleep, low energy level, loss of interest in the previously enjoyed activities, and a substantial weight gain  Weening down from the whole pill to a half, and looking for natural ways to reduce my BP."


"I take Vesicare for bladder spasms/irritable bladder. Vesicare has helped with the spasms, but I have blurred vision, and fatigue. I am going to continue to take Vesicare at this time, but I am thinking I am going to have to do something different soon."


"I was prescribed fluoxetine for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. For the last 5 years I took Remeron for depression, in which did nothing to help with PMDD.  I gained 60 lbs within a 3 month period of being on it. Well 2 months ago my doctor switched me to 10 mg fluoxetine. The side effects were a nightmare for the first two weeks. Excessive drowsiness, nausea, increased anxiety especially in the morning, diarrhea, completely lost my appetite. Well I'm glad I hung in there because the side effects went away, my mood improved tremendously, and on top of that I lost 20 lbs in the first 1.5 months. My appetite has improved. Very happy about the weight loss, but I feel that 20mg would be a little more effective in treating PMDD symptoms. Overall its great."


"Works great, does not cause drowsiness. Claritin also worked but occasionally makes me drowsy."


"I'm writing this review because I'm absolutely shocked by how quickly I began to feel like myself again. After as little as a week I had an easier time getting out of bed in the morning, I physically felt more energetic, and I had more emotional clarity. My husband is even more delighted in the results than I am. He says I'm more like myself. Even with good insurance this medicine can be pricey. Very few side effects. I felt a little jittery the first couple of days and had trouble sleeping. Those went away when I adjusted the time I took the medicine. I'm just thankful to feel some relief!"


"I had terrible rheumatoid arthritis for almost 2 years at a young age. I had it in both my knees and feet and it was going into my right arm. I was so miserable I could barely leave my house for school during the winter. Driving and running were impossible and walking even a short distance was extremely hard without Advil. I started Enbrel 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. The first day I took Enbrel I felt better. I was able to go to my senior prom without pain, it was great! I have been pain FREE with no side effects. I was skeptical at first but I'm SO GLAD I took Enbrel. The shot is painless too! I can't guarantee that it'll work as quick as it did for me, but if you suffer as I did, TAKE ENBREL. It has saved my life and I can finally be a normal teen again."


"Hate this medication.  I've been on it so far for 4 days, and it makes me feel stoned/drunk, and takes away my ability to focus and concentrate. I can't wait to get off of it.  Everyone reacts differently to medication, and I hope, other people don't have to go through the same side effects as I am currently battling."


"Used Striant for several years.  It's a buccal (placed under top lip on gum) and I was advised by pharmacist that buccal method is the quickest delivery of medicine (also bypasses liver).  My T numbers were the best ever on Striant (from <200 to 700 ).  My biggest problem was you have to use it 2x per day and I could only handle 1x/day in morning, otherwise, it kept me awake/anxious at night! I would have to say though, if you're strictly looking to raise numbers it's probably the best t replacement (other than shots) and had Axiron not came along, I'd still be using Striant."


"Started taking 75mg twice a day for 1 month. Maybe had a little reduced pain.  Notice a slight tremor in hands/coordination. Trembling. I ignored this.  Had immediate huge increase in appetite.  Already overweight at 210 lbs. Gained 12 lbs. in 3 weeks.  My Doctor increased my dose to 150mg twice a day..  Sent me a second bottle 4 days after I had received the last bottle.  I started taking two 75mg capsules twice a day as prescribed. WOW. Almost immediately I had much more trembling/uncoordinated in legs, arms, hands and difficulty controlling  mouth during speech. While sitting these issues are very slight but still present.  Typing on a keyboard is difficult. BUT When I Go To Stand Up And Walk Like I Normally Do Without A Problem...WOW..."


"I had to write a review because most people go out of there way only to write one after a bad reaction, but everyone is different! I used depo for FIVE years and loved it! Skin was perfect, never gained weight (in fact, it seemed like I almost couldn't gain weight haha), and my emotions were totally level. I never had a period either. Because it can effect your bone density, I decided to switch to another birth control. HATED my life. I gained weight, had chronic fatigue, "morning sickness", severe depression. (This was from nexplanon). I have since been off birth control and regulating my body. Before I was on depo, I took the pill which made me so sick everyday. now that I'm in a relationship, I'm 100% returning to depo"


"Paxil is going to effect everyone differently. What worked great for me, may be the worst medication you've ever tried. I've been on Paxil for 20 years and for a large majority of those years, Paxil really helped me with my anxiety. I've been back and forth between 15-30mg many times. I never had any major side effects from it (not libido, not weight gain). The thing with Paxil is, there's the potential for what's called "Paxil poop out" (yes, it's real, Google it) where the Paxil stops being effective. I was completely unaware of this so I was totally blindsided with debilitating anxiety and horrible panic attacks out of nowhere one day. I was really bummed because Paxil had done so much good for me. It's a great med when it works."


"From the other reviews it is clear that the Mirena effects individuals in different ways. My experience of the IUS has been terrible (I had it removed today after a year of having it in). I am a university student & since having the mirena fitted I felt like a different person. My moods had become so unpredictable & my emotions everywhere. I have gained weight and suffered from anxiety and severe panic attacks. I was given a diagnosis of generalised anxiety disorder & prescribed medication for depression however I feel it is all side effects of the coil. The stomach cramps I had during the 'panic attacks' felt like I was being stabbed in the stomach and resulted in vaginal bleeding. I hope now that the coil has been removed this will stop!"


"Medication works but, had bad side effects of depression and anger."


"I've had mine going on two months now, got inserted May 5,  the day after my period started.  I honestly do not remember any pain at all, The process went by very smooth. So far everything is going great! I have spotted a little, the heaviest was for two or three days at the most & I have not had a period yet. Everything else is normal, my body feels fine, my sex drive is still high, & I have not gained or lost any weight, nor have I had any unusual mood swings.  The only thing I will say maybe true is that it gives you acne.  I'm currently on medication given by my dermatologist  for acne and have been taking it weeks before I even got Nexplanon, but about a week after having it, I beganed to notice more acne breakouts! Still to this day, One side of my face has an unusual area of acne, that I treat with tretinoin cream on every other night! I am hoping that this just maybe side effects from my dermatology medicine, as opposed to the nexplanon. Maybe in a few weeks my face will clear up, but as of now that is my only problem! Please do not hesitate ladies! This is the best form of birth control I have ever used."


"I was on Levora for 18 months and LOVED it. I had no side effects whatsoever. It helped with my cramps, my skin didn't change, my weight didn't alter."


"I took the Lexiscan stress test yesterday.  The hardest part of the test was lying still for 45 min.  The chemical was injected during the last 10min and I felt no real side effects.  I had a slight taste in my mouth for maybe 20 seconds and I noticed that my heart rate increased.  After a couple of minutes my heart started slowing and after the 10min period, I felt normal.  If you are scheduled for the test, stop worrying, it's not that bad.  Don't stress out from all the horror stories you read on the Internet."


"Literally a miracle drug my first time in a long time not having my extremely horrible period, best month of my life! no spotting, this is my first time using birth control. my acne is non-existent, my breast are larger which is a plus for me, and I've lost weight in all the right places! I'm so happy with this product!"


"My son was in kindergarten when he was diagnosed with ADHD. Strattera was the second medicine we tried and it worked great. His teacher and us at home noticed the change and could always tell if he missed his dose. He is now 13 and in 8th grade and has decided to take himself off the medicine. Hes been off it since before last summer and is doing great. Hoping because he was medicated at a young age that he may have out grown his symptoms. I would recommend Strattera to anyone."


"I get really bad panic attacks and suffer from panic disorder with agoraphobia.  My doctor tries to steer away from benzos because of the addiction factor, which is understandable.  However, Vistaril has done nothing for me.  It's as if I'm taking sugar pills.  If I'm suffering from an exceptionally bad panic attack, I still have to be taken to the E.R. where they give me benzos anyway."


"I took Prozac for about a year.  My husband said I seemed less depressed so I continued taking it, but in most ways I seemed worse.  I felt like  a zombie.  I lost interest in sex.  I just sat around all day doing nothing.  I am 65 now and I have had depression since I was about 10.  I find that meditation, exercise, and careful eating have helped me way more than prozac.  The only time I get depressed now is if I eat junk food.  I eat only organic foods.  I quit eating all grains (pasta, rice, cereal, bread, crackers, cookies, cake, etc.).  I never use sugar.  If I need a little sweetener I use stevia (no artificial sweeteners).  I eat a lot of veggies.  I eat only a small amount of fruit (sugar) especially berries.  Healthy/Happy."


"I felt like it didn't really work? I mean I had a lot of clumpy, cottage cheese like discharge but it went down a bit. I still feel like I have a yeast infection.  I'm 18 and this is my first time using miconazole cream, but my vagina feels icky and my discharge feels oily?? Like its not sticky and its kinda clumpy. Help?"


"Was prescribed this medication 3 times in 2 years for BV. Ugh, I HATE BV with a passion. Currently, this makes my third time taking it. The first time made me extremely sick. I lost the urge to eat and always just felt like throwing up any and everything. It got rid of the BV but caused a yeast infection. The second time I took this caused more extreme nausea. The nausea was so bad that I couldn't finish the last pill. I was the definition of sick. This is the third time around with this medication. It's only my second day and I'm about to puke as we speak. Also, for the first time while on this medication I am experiencing diarrhea. I was NOT expecting this and I'm debating on finishing the rest of my pills. Overall, you're sick but cured."


"Been on Armour Thyroid for 10 years -- after taking Synthroid for three.  Noticed an immediate improvement in my health as soon as I started taking Armour.  Absolutely LOVED Armour until a few years ago when the formula (or something) changed.  Now I am OK with Armour, but detests the huge price increase (3-month supply for $19 -- now $99 for 3-month supply).  Reading this website to find alternatives to Armour because the price increase is ridiculous.  Also, the quality is not the same!"


"Terrible experience using this medication in combination with Cipro.  Took for a week.  Developed nausea, sore throat and horrible taste in mouth.  Had to call for nausea medication and then developed oral thrush in mouth and had to get a prescription for another medication for that.  I do think it effective, but would not want to take again."


"While taking this medicine... It keeps my mind racing, kept my heart %u2665 racing. For the 3 weeks I've been taking it my blood pressure stayed high while taking the meds now that I stop taking them my blood pressure been back to normal. I stayed very hot & dizzy while on it. I felt the same just had a little energy."


"Developed severe reactions to Cipro. Took 250 mg for only two days but developed itching, rash, nausea and headache that lasted days after I stopped taking it."


"I'm a 46 y.o. female and have been taking Vyvanse for approximately 3 months. I started out on 50mg in the morning and it worked great by giving me energy and completing projects. However, I would get tired after 8 hours. After 1 month of taking 50mg x1 a day my doctor switched me to 30mg twice daily to prevent that tired feeling after 8 hours. After 2 months of taking 30mg x2 a day I'm tired a lot and seemed to have already built up a resistance to it. Maybe I just need to increase the dose, not sure. This medicine worked great at first for ADHD and I'm hoping I can increase the dose and feel energetic and focused again. The side effects I have experienced are, weight loss (13lbs) the first month but gained 8 lbs back, and have bad breath."


"For 12 years I have struggled with severe constipation. My body laughed at laxatives, and enemas. Nothing worked and I went to the hospital more times than I can count because of it. Two weeks ago I went 16 days without passing anything, a new record for me. My OB sent me to my fourth GI Dr (I'm pregnant) and she gave me two weeks of samples of Trulance. She said this was new and approved for pregnancy. She also said a period of diarrhea was likely but to stick it through and see if it works before giving up. Its only been 3 days and today I had my first full, perfect consistency bowel movement in over a decade and I actually cried. I've been waiting for this breakthrough for so so long."


"Finished the treatment. Killed the virus but I lost all motivation. I was very active and athletic before treatment, but lost all motivation after treatment. Experienced insomnia during and after treatment. I had the feeling of being malnourished despite eating very healthy diet during treatment and somewhat still. I finished my treatment almost a year ago. Not totally happy with this drug."


"Works decently."


"I was prescribed Lorzone and was given a sample by my doctor. I took medicine around 6 PM went to bed at 11. Woke up at 1 pm with a condition very similar to getting a piece of food stuck in esophagus. I could breathe, but was unable to swallow. My saliva became thick and foamy and  had to spit it into a cup. Had my wife take me to Emergency room. Had an endoscopy which when I woke up I was fine."


"I have been taking Loestrin 24 Fe for 2 months now. 1st month I kept forgetting the pill so I would double up - not good I know but there were no bad side effects other than spotting before and after my period. So it made my period seem like it was 2 weeks long. If I didn't forget the pill I would never ran into that problem. I'm almost done with my second pack and so far I've notice my adult acne is clearing and my breast are getting firmer - which is awesome. I've also noticed my demeanor is a lot more calmer. My emotions seem to be in check. I'm not freaking out or crying all the time. I don't feel like I'm going insane or anything. I really like Loestrin 24 Fe and I'm glad I'm taking it."


"Uroxatral saved my bacon for years.  Then generic came out and twice I tried to switch.  All I got was same side effects, but no positive outcome.  So switched back to brand name... but that has increased 300% in price since the generic came out.  It's as if they know the generic is not as good and that they are the only game in town so they're up to $20/pill and no insurance will cover it even though generic simply doesn't work and the other two drugs have more serious side effects."


"I was diagnosed Bipolar with severe depression, ptsd, and anxiety in May of 2015. I have been suffering since childhood. I used to have racing thought, nightmares, suicidal thoughts, extreme highs and lows within minutes, etc. I can now be around family and friends without screaming, deal with traffic and go to the grocery store without having a mental breakdown. The first couple weeks were rough but wore off after 3 weeks or so. I have been on it since May, 2015 at 200mg a day. Lately I have had horrible migranes and nausea and don't have any motivation to find a new job."


"I have suffered from IBS Constipation/Diarrhea for as long as I can remember. I took this medicine for a year and a half along with Dycyclomine. It seemed to work for a couple months but then the symptoms came back. I consider myself a very active woman, working out at least 5 days a week, yoga, clean eating... I noticed as soon as I started taking the medicine I gained 10 pounds, lost all of energy and had severe muscle and joint aching. I continued the medicine and went back to the doctor with questions. Recently I had an episode and I received a full abdominal ultrasound. Everything normal but full of gas that would not move. I decided to stop the meds and a week later all the side effects are gone."


"Horrible! I tried this once and it worked
 Second time allergic reaction 3rd time my Dr prescribed it anyway and I almost died. Woke up after 2nd dose unable to breathe. Fever of 105. Bone and muscle pain. Crushing chest pain. Blue hands. Swollen tongue and face. Rash all over body. This is the worst drug out here. Do not use Macrobid. It's a nightmare!"


"It didn't give me any issues and I have been switching pills for over 8 months because I would breakthrough bleed. I never had any side effects from this at all."


"I take about 6 x 30mg morphine and it does nothing. The best thing I have ever found for severe back pain is 30mg Percocet. By far best thing out there."


"Ever since I was a child I had sleeping issues. It would either take me all night to go to sleep and wake up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep. This med is awesome because if I wake up in the middle of the night and I still have 3 hours to sleep I can take it without having to worry about being drowsy or discombobulated."


"Would not have bought a new bottle if I had known the new safety cap was nearly impossible to open. Will not buy again until the cap is redesigned"


"10mg at bedtime was like a miracle for me. I could finally sleep and the pain was almost gone for the next 3 days."


"I had almost disabling psoriasis for 10 years.  My feet was my biggest problem area, many flare ups made it hard to even walk.  I too have been on everything in the past, starting with ointments all the way to Remicade, Humira, and Enbrel with little success, mostly only helped for less than 6 months.  Prednisone has almost ruined my joints, and as most of you know causes weight gain.  In September 2012 I got my first injection.  By December I was completely clear doing insanity workouts!  Over 2 years I enjoyed a psoriasis free life and it's been great!  Unfortunately, I started flaring 2 months ago, and my dermatologist put me back on prednisone as my whole body is covered again.  Not sure where to go from here."


"I am looking for some help/advice/similar experiences. (I am based in the UK)

I had the nexplanon implant inserted two years ago when I was 17. Periods ceased for 18 months, and gradually returned in November. 8 months later I am now getting my period every other week (not too heavy but enough for me to need to change everything to prevent the dreaded leakage!) however, for the dry week between that I am experience all the pre period symptoms blooming sore boobs/tiredness (probably due to low iron), nose bleeds (which occur even when I laugh too hard...) and the odd tinge of sadness- which is not like me at all because I am a glass half full gal.

Has anyone had similar experiences? I am tired all the time and have really had ENOUGH!!! "


"Lost 17 pounds in 2 months. I have quit for a little bit because I wasn't eating enough. I don't feel hungry, I need to lose 10  to 15 more pounds. I will see if I can do it myself. Just starting excercising since I had surgery, and just got released. Also, need to drink lots of water!   Only took one pill in the morning ."


"Well i have been on this medication for about 5 months so far i been loving it periods have decrease so is cramping . I did gain weight with this medication (5lbs) which is not bad for me because i was way too skinny ,  no mood swings no acne. the only thing i do have to say is that  this medication is expensive but worth it"


"Literally have never been in so much pain in my life. After what felt like 20 minutes (it was probably two) she asked me to calm down...right then and there I said stop. Nope. I absolutely can not calm down if another thing is inserted onto or into my cervix.

Did not successfully insert.

I'm definitely just getting my tubes tied, hormones are super awful anyways.

PS I have a high pain tolerance, this was a super anomaly for me."


"I struggle with the choice of Clonazepam, or Diazepam. I can feel the difference between the two. Valium is a much calmer drug."


"I'm on my second month of Nuvaring. So far everything has been great! No mood swings, no lack of sex drive. Ive noticed it does create extra discharge, which makes for some extra noises during sex... but we just laugh it off. It has never come out either. Sometimes it does slide down and that can get annoying. I push it back up as far as I can but it doesn't help. It shifts on its own and then I don't feel it anymore. It's weird but not prolonged so it doesn't bother me. Other than those two things I love it. It's convenient and easy to insert and remove. I have an app on my phone to track the dates. It works for me."


"Although relatively more expensive than other options, it is the most convenient alternative for parents with Turner's Syndrome in pediatric use.  Also, there is a possibility to perform the injection after the first 15-20 mins of sleep to avoid child's resistance of treatment 6 days/wk.  Now crossing treatment year 3, growth charts continue demonstrating significant annual gains."


"I hope this helps some girls freaking out about getting their period and wondering if Plan B really works. I had a condom slip with my boyfriend a couple days before I ovulated and I am not on birth control (I will be now) and after four weeks I got my period early and no side effects. For all those of your girls freaking out after reading reviews on this I really felt better and now I hope I can do the same. Good luck and stay safe ladies!"


"So. I had been treating as a yeast infection for well over a year when my gyno appt. Revealed otherwise. So far day 3 of 7. Only a small amount of itching. Few cramps and slight burning today. But all minor. I tried metrogel last year and that is what did not work for me. Gave me horrible pain and a raging yeast infection the next day. But it says that these creams give you a yeast infection. It is an antibiotic. I always get them just looking at antibiotics. So if things change for the worse I'll update. Otherwise I expect a good outcome."


"I had chronic headaches and migraines and had all the tests MRI/CAT scan to try to determine cause - everything normal.  Final resort was Verapamil and I was instantly pain free - as long as I take the lowest dose - am actually taking 1/2 pill of the smallest dose - extended release - and it works for me - but if I stop taking it - the headaches are back within two days."


"Helps me wake faster in the morning. Thinking clearer. Helped me get over sexual dysfunction (SSRI induced years ago. Stopped SSRIs, but residual emotional scarring remained). Was on Lamictal and Depakote. Exchanged the Depakote for Wellbutrin XL and my girlfriend commented I went from boy to man in less than a month. Superb concentration and continuous connected thought."


"I have been dealing with cystic acne for most of my life and I decided to see a dermatologist last year and Aczone literally was a miracle worker. I rarely get cystic acne anymore, and if I do it is usually near my period. However, I also use Retin-A cream at night, and I am currently prescribed to Vestura birth control which is good for acne treatment. A helpful tip if you take birth control is to actually look up the hormones that are in the pills, I was initially taking a different birth control that actually causes more acne, then I did some research and switched. The only downside is I get these small whiteheads right under my eyes (like 3-4) almost every other day and I am not positive if it's the Aczone causing it or not."


"The PA in my endo office thought I would benefit from this even though I'm type 1 but showing signs of insulin resistance. Taking this injection was one of the biggest mistakes of my life!! I've experienced extreme nausea, severe headaches, heartburn from mild to severe. I've vomited one time which made me think back to when I had food poisoning from eating crab, which was an awful experience. It's now 5 days after taking the first injection and the above symptoms have lessened. No real appetite and when I do eat my stomach is queasy.   I will not be continuing with this medication."


"I had found out I have  Chlamydia  and was told
To take 4 pills all at once.
So I had ate then waited 30 min then took all 4 pills then had cracker after and I have no side effects at all
So if you  are reading this and is scared to take the pill cause or scared of the side effects everybody's different"


"It took care of the nausea but the hallucinations that came with it were a very unwelcome side effect. "


"Been taking Invokana for 5 months. Had yeast infection the fist month and bad vaginal itch but it was controlled after I wash 3 times a day or wash when I start itching. So far I lost 20lbs. I think my hair loss is due to body change, but I can deal with that. This drug really works for me. Just so expensive!"


"Aside from nervousness for a couple of hours after injection, no major adverse reactions. Unfortunately, my hunger is unabated but I've been able to keep my diet healthy. I've only been on Byetta for two days now. My doctor had me discontinue Januvia. I'm currently taking Metformin and Glipizide also. We'll see how it pans out. My A1C's have been around 7.0 but with huge peaks and valleys. Hopefully things will level out."


"Originally I was using a different brand but since getting switched to this.. I “spot” bleed all the time. I’m going off birth control after this pack .. since I'm due to have a period soon anyways. I’ve been bleeding for 3 months straight. I’m haven’t been sexually active for almost a year. Who needs it with all these side effects?"


"Nothing for 10 days or so, then no appetite at all.  Started exercising, feeling better about myself (it's a mood enhancer), and lost 20 pounds in 35 days.  Side effects are dry mouth, slight forgetfulness and possibly some tinnitus, but that's it.  Really working well for me!  Get the free trial from Belviq then their discount card after that.  I love the minor side effects, Phentermine and Topamax were just awful, Topamax the worst.  Phentermine is great if you want to feel like a character in "Breaking Bad.""


"I have been on nexplanon for about 2 weeks now and I have nothing negative to say about it. Besides the ugly bruise on my arm, I absolutely love it. I had extreme mood swings in previous birth control and high blood pressure so I can't be put on the combo pill, but since being on this I seem to always be smiling and laughing. Only downside is I haven't had a period in 2 months and reading the other reviews I'm nervous to know when I will get one, or if I even will. But all is well so far !"


"I had mild Barrett's esophagus and was on Dexilant 60mg for 1 month. Due to loss of health coverage and was not able to buy insurance due to pre-existing condition, I was off Dexilant for over a year. After Obama care went in effect, I am able to purchase my health insurance again. My doctor presscribed Dexilant 30 mg twice a day for 6 months. In my recent upper endoscopy, 1 1/2 months after taking it, showed that my esophagus lining is normal. What a relief! Highly recommended!"


"Works well but not very pleasant tasting."


"Started Saxenda on January 8th. I am down 8.5 pounds. I'm a nurse, so I don't mind the shots.  I've been very pleased with the appetite control.  Was really big on sodas (2-3/day) and snacking in between meals. Now I drink a lot of water - constantly thirsty. Have only had 1 soda since I started and the snacking has all but stopped.  Some days I have to remind myself to eat.  I do have some nausea when titrating up on the dose - but its manageable. I have found my biggest problem is constipation which I am taking OTC stool softeners for and seems to help. No fatigue at all. In fact, I'm more active now than I have be in years. Super excited to see the end result. My goal is 60 pounds!"


"I have on a variety of different birth controls. Other then the allergic reaction from Loestrin they all cause terrible side effects. Including yeast infection, mood swings, bloating. Now that I am on Necon it works perfect for three weeks each month, the one week is awful. I have cramps, extreme fatigue, and bloating. My moods cause me to have crying spells and I'm sensitive to anything anyone says to me. Dealing with the last week of premenstrual cramps is worth feeling normal throughout the rest of the month."


"Amerge is the only thing I have found that works for my migraines. I have had migraines daily for over 3 years and eventually everything has quit working for me except the Amerge so I would recommend it to anyone. This drug has truly saved my life."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I recently started Eliquis (brand) as my doctor wants to do a cardioversion in hopes of getting my heart back into a normal rhythm.  You need to be on a blood thinner prior to, and after, this procedure. Because of my past experiences with side effects, I quartered a few of the 5mg tablets and took one quarter (1.25mg) on each of the first two days.  On the third day, I took two 1.25mg doses of Eliquis, twelve hrs apart, for a daily total of 2.5mg.  Within 30 min after taking the second 1.25 dose, I began to feel a continuous internal tremor that lasted for 5 hrs.-no pain, no external tremor, no feeling ill. I am afraid to increase the dosage to reach the prescribed 5mg x 2/daily. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS SIDE EFFECT??"


"I took two pills along with 4 teaspoons of Castor oil about 2.5 hours ago.  Still waiting.  Hoping I didn't screw up to bad by taking both, and two dulcolax pills...we will see"


"I have been using Trileptal for bipolar for several years now and it has been a life saver for me.  For many, many years I went through many other drugs and none helped me as much.  Every once in a while I take something else to help out (right now it's Pexeva) but after two or three months I can go back to Trileptal alone for a year or so. I had a really bad weight problem with Depakote but on Trileptal I have managed to lose that weight and more.

Thank you Trileptal for saving my life."


"I have gained about 5 lbs. I am breastfeeding and haven't had a period for 9 months. I also have experienced a heavier appetite and fast body hair growth."


"I've been on Lamictal for a couple of months now, only up to 100mg, but I just stopped taking it due to the severe headaches I've been getting from it. Just a heads-up as one of the potential side effects."


"I have had HIV since Nov.2002 I was taking Viread and Triziver and my Doctor decided to put me on Triumeq back in July 2015 I have been having almost all the side affects, I wish I have never started taking this and just stayed on my old meds because they were doing great for me!"


"I have been in back pain since 2001 after a truck accident. I have been on many different pain medicines. I just recently got on Opana ER 20mg every 12 hours. My pain level has gone down. I also have had a nerve block that didn't help very much at all. My L1-L2-L3-L4-L5 and S1 are buldging and spine is deteriorating. I also have to take Percocet 5/325 twice a day. Not totally pain free yet but better."


"This was my first pill I have ever tried, and it was by far the worst one. Depression is a silent killer, no sex drive, tired, weight gain. It was not healthy for me, when I quit it I felt much better and became myself again, not worth it."


"I've used the brand name "Percocet 7.5" before, and it worked very well.  But, I was recently diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my neck and was having severe pain with it and was prescribed Percocet and was given this generic brand "Endocet".  Even though it's a higher dosage, 10mg, it doesn't work near as well.  I'm having to take 1 & 1/2 pills to get any relief.  I wonder if there are different companies (and how many) that make Percocet generic brands?  I've found the same problem with Ultram/tramadol 50mg.  Some of the generic brands just don't work for me at all, but there is one specific generic tramadol that does work very good for me, which is the one my pharmacist knows to give me when filling my script."


Dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / phenylephrine

"Sunday I took Advil because I felt run down, achy body, and runny nose. Today which is Monday October 23, I woke up to runny nose, ear and body ache, swelled and achy throat, breathing issues because I have one lung, run down, and headache. I saw doctor and got prescription of nasal spray. She told me because of the pressure of my nose, that's why my earaches. Also, the drainage of my nose is why my throat hurts. But she felt my pressure points and they were swelled. Wtheck. She said to get Mucinex DM and Advil over the counter. The Mucinex DM Maximum strength 12 hour, extended release 28 pills works GREAT!  I've used this and Mucine Sinus max Congest.relief 16 liquid gel in the last few years! This medication is worth spending money on!"


"I am so grateful for this medication. I smoked a pack a day for over 20 years. The longest I went without a cigarette was 3 weeks. I tried the patch, the gum, and the electronic cigarette; nothing worked (though the patch was great for long flights).  My experience is a little different than most because I never had bad dreams (they've actually be better) since I started, I'm never nauseated (though I make sure I take the morning pill after breakfast and the evening pill after dinner), and I didn't stop smoking until month two (not week two). On week two, the number of cigarettes I was smoking dropped down to about five per day. And I didn't even notice I was cutting down. I highly recommend this to quit."


"I've been using this product for about 6 months now and it is great. I noticed that it also prevents breakouts from happening as well as getting rid of existing breakouts and it also fades scars due to the bleaching effect. I would not recommend you use this around your eyes or on your eyelids the product can make them puffy. Also apply a very thin layer because this product is very drying! As an effect of drying out all the oils causing clearer skin. Overall this is a great product and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has acne."


"Ive been an Ambien user now for 6 years. And like a lot of other post I've read, I find it is much more effective when taken on an empty stomach. I too have had my crazy nightly side effects..Painting my toe nails, dying my hair, a box of cereal completely eaten, and an almost dead cell phone to where I had been on the phone half the night saying god knows what (and yes, all this in one night). I agree that if you take it correctly and on an empty stomach, you should lay down within the first 30 minutes, if not, you never know where you may end up. It gives you almost an errie jolt of energy that you remember nothing about!"


"Was prescribed Nucynta for back pain after informing the doctor of my weird reactions to various medications.  The first 100mg dose I took threw me into a near panic attack and caused some crazy depersonalization and audible hallucinations. I ended up sleeping for nearly two days after that dose.

"


"Remicade has been a miracle medicine for me treating acute Crohns disease, rheumatoid arthritis and colitis. The difference in me is night and day. I am so grateful to be on my way to being well again!"


"I have PTSD with flashbacks/anxiety and don't want to take benzodiazepines because I'm also an addict.  While Vistaril doesn't work quite as well, it does help and I feel better about taking it."


"8 months and no problems noticed. Blood pressure controlled well."


"This has helped a lot.  Less over thinking, more positive first thing.  It actually worked for me"


"Okay y'all, so I got Nexplanon inserted in October 2015 and have been very disappointed with it since then (aside from its effective in preventing pregnancy).
I am a very passive and understanding person, but in December I noticed my mood was literally all over the place. I have experienced a TERRIBLE bit of anxiety while using this product, and I have never had anxiety even in the most minor form before. I am sensitive to everything, crying, depressed, anxious, you name it.
If you thought that was bad... I have had my period since the day I got it. Yup, almost 4 months straight now.
This is by far the worst birth control I have ever taken considering the side effects. It has made me feel mentally unstable and I do NOT recommend it."


"I have just a few days left from my first pack. I've tried almost everything, other pills, patch, depo, ring and this is by far the best BC for me. I've had no side effects!!! Best of all no spotting. I got my period yesterday and it's so light. I am getting the Mirena IUD next week because I'm a busy mom of 2 and don't like having to remember to take the pill every day at the same time but if the IUD doesn't work out I will for sure being going back to Sprintec :)"


"I'm not sure what's causing the abnormal bleeding but been on period for 20 days. Stopped period one day and now bleeding again, this has never happened to me before when using any other birth control."


"Nexplanon is the first birth control I’ve ever used. I’m 25. My boyfriend and I simply wanted to most effective birth control method. I am a fairly chill/nonchalant/level headed individual.  I had Nexplanon implanted 9 days ago and I literally cannot control my emotions at all. The mood swings are outrageous. I’m literally irritated about everything, that turns into anger, then it turns into crying because of the frustration of the mood swings. I’ve read that it can be this way with any birth control method but my GAWD did I wish someone would have told me before I had it implanted. I had my period the week before it was implanted and I’ve experienced no irregular bleeding yet. If the bleeding is ridiculous then I will have it removed."


"I had unprotected sex a day after my period tracking calendar said I ovulated. My partner used the pull out method and said he did not ejaculate in me but I am a very worrisome person. I took the plan b one step almost 48 hours after. I weigh 206 pounds and am 5'6, if this helps. Well a week after I was having dizzy spells, some nausea, hot flashes, constipation, sore boobs and was very tired. I ended up getting my period a day before I expected it so I would say that the pill worked for me in this instant. Don't freak out and do not spend your money on pregnancy tests before you are actually late for it. Stress can cause your period to be late so just relax and don't think every little thing means your pregnant because it will kill you."


"So I started getting cold sores when I was young but as I grew older I had stopped getting them. Anyway I got a cold sore 2 days before my 20th birthday, right? I mean I was completely devastated so I searched online and found some reviews on Abreva. I headed out to purchase it (yes, small tube, very expensive). I thought it was worth the try but I wasn't expecting much. Two days later my cold sore was barely visible and to be honest, I'm only doing this review because I do think the product was worth the price and it actually works."


"Crestor brought down my cholesterol, however, I've experienced insomnia, leg cramps and, last night, the worst nightmare of my life which woke me at 2:30 a.m. and I never could go back to sleep. I'm not taking any more."


"I have suffered psorasis on my legs in particular and on my trunk in various places for more than a decade. I was prescribed Daivobet with no real results...useless really. Whilst on vacation in the US I picked up some ointment from a Drug Store. I thought I may as well give it a go. This product is amazing. Within a few days there was a huge improvement and after 6 months my psoriasis is almost gone....I cannot believe it after having the ugly sores for such a long time. Highly recommended. My doctor tells me it is "old school treatment"...I don't care....it works!!
I wish it was available over the counter in Australia."


"Doesn't work."


"I have torn ligaments in my shoulder along with tendinitis and was prescribed 50mg every 4 to 6 hours.  I have received no pain relief from this medication."


"I have been on most anti-depressants TCA's and SSRI's for 30 years as well as either Xanax or Klonopin. My Doctor started me on 10 mg of Trintellex 3 weeks ago. I have had none of the side effects others have noted nausea, diarrhea, or insomnia. However I was on a very high dose of Klonopin (from another doctor) that I have gotten down to 1.5 mg daily. I had been on Lexapro for the last 8 years and it just stopped working. My question is that I have been more anxious since starting Trintellex. I thought this drug was for both depression and anxiety ? Has anyone else experienced an increase in anxiety? If so has it gone away? For me anxiety is as bad or worse than depression. Any insights?"


"First off this medication has been a life saver for me. I have suffered from IBS-D since I was a teenager and I found a support group that has helped me through it. I was given Linzess and ya the first 2 weeks can be bad, but I continued to take it and I have felt so much better. i also was instructed to take a really good multivitiman to help make sure I had all of my nutrients needed through the day and if you can work out that is what is helping me to cope. I really hope this helps some of you out there and I will continue to pray for a cure."


"I have been taking lisinopril for about 4 years as a preventative to the medication I take for my type 2 diabetes. My dosage started at 10mg and 12.5 hctz. I also have anxiety issues. I've read most of the comments here, and my side effects were very minimal with the exception that my hair became very thin and the texture changed. Has anyone else experienced this? I couldn't take it anymore due to becoming dependent on wigs and weaves. My doctor changed me to Losartan HCTZ 50-12.5. I am praying my hair will grow back."


"I got this 3 yrs ago exactly and overall it wasn't the worst experience. The first 6 months were irritating because my body was getting used to it and my periods were irregular. After that, it started to get more regular and I would get my period about once every 3-4 months. In the last 6 months, it's changed to where I spot very often and for long periods at a time. For the last 3 months, I get my period maybe 2-3x a month which really sucks. Also, I gained about 30 lbs in the first 2 yrs (yes some of it was because of poor diet/exercise but it packed on quickly after my body got used to it). I am happy to be getting it out in 2 weeks and probably won't go back on it. Overall wasn't bad but definitely wasn't the best."


"This stuff was the pits.  A half hour after I took my first pill, I was falling asleep.  The tiredness became extremely intense.  I had to cancel my plans for the evening and lay down.  I was so crazy exhausted that I became anxious.  I asked my prescriber for antianxiety medication.  I have mild anxiety that makes me uncomfortable. This stuff just made me worse than a couch potato.  Several hours later I got intestinal cramps.  Then I started throwing up. "


"I take Opana ER 20mg twice a day along with Oxycodone 30mg 3 times a day for break through pain, I think it works wonderful. I have severe lower back pain all day and all night. If I don't have the Opana along with the Oxycodone then it just doesn't work well at all. I have tried many other medicine and this is the one that works for sure."


"I have just finished a 12 week treatment period and my last blood work was viral free as it was after the 8th week. My viral count was 3,000,000 at the outset of treatment, 45 after 4 weeks and, as I said, undetected after the 8th week, I have experienced some mild diarrhea, briefly, and mild tiredness....but I'm 69 years old so who's to say?"


"This is the only medicine that I have taken without any side effects! I love it! After the initial 2 week period of sleepiness it wears off and does what it's supposed. I do miss my mania no lie but I know that it wasn't good for me but it takes most of my depression down and I can enjoy my life. I've been on Lamictal which did nothing for me except give me horrid night terrors, Risperdal made me lactate, and Seroquel gave me frequent urination. I was so happy after struggling with my insurance that they put me back on the Geodon. Been on it for 2 months."


"I have bipolar disorder type 2 and I am on my second month of Lamotrigine (Lamictal), and I am already seeing results! I am on a small dosage, 50mg, and life is already so much easier. I have severe anxiety alongside my bipolar disorder, and as soon as my anxious urges begin to emerge (way too many times throughout the day) they are immediately suppressed. Although my mania is not completely under control due to my just starting it, it is under control compared to myself two months ago. My bipolar disorder was to the point where I would wake up one day extremely depressed and the very next day I could be horribly manic, rather than the highs and lows being spread over a prolonged period of time. I do have the rash, not severe though!!"


"after about 3 weeks on prozac, or as I like to call it CRAPZAC.
I was more depressed than ever before. Before crapzac I had only considered suicide a few times,
But after my 4th week I actually attempted it.
Thankfully my sister found me and brought me to the hospital, where they asked if i had been on any medication, and ordered me to stop taking it.

And I was trapped at the hospital in the psych ward for 9 days, having 2 sessions with the counsellor every day, strapped down to my bed for the first few days, and not allowed to use the bathroom for 2 days, this stuff made my life into a living hell.

After being released, I have now started seeing a therapist and now I've been practicing yoga and meditation, with no meds, and I feel great"


"Had psoriasis all over my hands, feet and scalp 13 years ago and had tried everything for it, but it only got worse. I used this for a short time and it cleared up my hands and feet quickly. My scalp cleared up by using Neutrogena medicated shampoos.  None of it has come back since.  I only know that it was this medication that cleared it up because I recently came across a couple of unused sample tubes that my dermatologist had given me and recognized this as what had worked to get rid of my psoriasis.   (about the 6th thing she had tried on me)."


"Work well to reduce my fluctuations in mood especially with getting frustrated and angry..."


"I prescribed Abilify adjunct 60mg Cymbalta I had been on for years during a very stressful and depressing time in my life. It was GREAT ! I was going to have to go into the hospital but it worked within 5 days!!! I was recommending it to everyone in my family! After being on it for 6 months, and gaining about 20 lbs.,  I developed a profound tremor or tic in my hand and I couldn't make it stop - not even at night so I couldn't sleep. They took me off the Abilify and within 4 weeks the tremor stopped completely. I also lost 25 lbs. without even trying since being off of it.  Recently, I noticed increased depression and anxiety so I am trying other meds now to get back on track. So far Deplin & Latuda have not worked. Just started Rexulti...."


"Took it for a urinary tract infection and immediately broke out in hives, fast heart rate and other unpleasant side effects.  Had to take Benadryl and then was prescribed something else that worked."


"Toradol has literally been a lifesaver! I have Cervical Dystonia, which gives me really bad migraines. Toradol usually will take my entire migraine away, and if it doesn't, it makes it manageable.It doesn't make me sick to my stomach, and it doesn't make me too drowsy, I'm able to drive home afterwards. The only bad thing about it is that I usually have pain around the injection site that lasts for a long while, but it hardly compares to the pain of the headache I had before it!"


"Invega has helped me greatly, but the side effects were pretty harsh."


"I would NOT recommend Aubra to anyone. The entire six months I was in it I constantly felt depressed and exhausted. Staying awake was a constant struggle. I also experienced crazy mood swings that caused major problems in my relationship. I also developed extremely bad acne which I never had before. Also, I never felt hungry and whenever I did eat I always felt so bloated and uncomfortable afterwards. On top of that, my periods actually got worse; heavier bleeding, really bad cramps, etc. I wish I would have talked to my doctor sooner about getting off this birth control and would strongly discourage anyone else from ever taking it."


"Started Lexapro four days ago,psychologically I feel better but have had terrible nausea,headaches and trouble sleeping at night."


"I started having acne problems after a series of surgeries. I tried many different things to get rid of my acne but nothing worked until I tried Differin. I've been using it for 2 years already and since then been acne free, I still use it at night on occasional acne breakouts and all disappear the next morning. Awesome acne medication !"


"The worst medication out there. Got a bad yeast infection. My kidney was falling. I hope they remove it from the market. Diabetic people really cannot afford kidney failing."


"My Pain Management Physician prescribed Skelaxin to help control severe spasms in my inner thighs down to and including my feet. My condition is "Failed Back Syndrome" which resulted from 2X Laminectomies at L4-L5. Prior to this I had been using Zanaflex for two years but had side effects. I advised my doctor I needed a medicine, which would help address my spasms without making me a zombie and he prescribed Skelaxin. That was five years ago and it saved my life. While I continue to have periodic spasms, I can eat my meals without my wife standing by in case I choked on my food. I would recommend Skelaxin to any individual who has muscle spasms."


"I started taking phentermine March 3,2008 at 255.4 lbs. I weighed in today June 16,2008 and I now weigh 202 lbs.  I did have to stop taking Elavil, which I took for IBS, but it has been fine because I have started eating healthy and have not had any stomach problems since. This medicine has given me my life back and I know it will only get better!!! 100's here I come!!!!!!!!"


"On the 7th and last day for taking Cipro I developed a rash with no itching on most of my body . After 2 weeks I still have some rash and also nausea. My doctor said Cipro had nothing to do with either. It did clear up my UTI infection but should I not take Cipro ever again .Thanks."


"20, female. I've been taking 100mg for 18 months I feel a lot better than what I did in regards to my depression but I feel nauseous 70% of the time and if I accidentally forget a pill I feel absolutely awful. Bizarre dreams, incredibly tired, diarrhea and paresthesia. I'm afraid to stop taking it for good because of what it does to me, something I'll be discussing with my doctor."


"I've only used relpax 3 times and it worked so well, it did make me sleepy, but I had to lie down anyway because I can't function with a migraine.  I slept for 1 1/2 hours and woke up headache free!"


"It gave me sores in my mouth where the pill touched my jaw on the inside and also under my tongue. After a few days my insides felt like they were getting distressed also, even with food and prescription stomach medicines. I'm surprised no one else has complained with this side effect."


"I was on Seasonique previously as a treatment for my endometriosis. I got off of it after a few years to give my body a break and painful periods became the norm again. My new doctor suggested I go back on the pill and I chose Seasonique again. However, my insurance substituted Daysee as the generic. I was a bit worried but I have not had any issues and I'm back to living my life fully all month long! I do still have some pain when I'm on my "period pills," but it's mild compared to the past. I've been lucky and have never had much spotting with Seasonique or Daysee. I did have some nausea in the morning for the first two weeks. I take my pill before dinner now and it seems to help."


"This medication is the worst thing that ever happened to me. My pharmacy switched me over from Sprintec because they said it's the generic version with the same formula, that might be true on the label but
 it seems to react like it is completely different. I've never felt so sick off from a medication before, I have nausea every single morning I wake up and every other morning I will vomit. Sex drive is non-existent, (because I never feel good) acne weirdly increased when I switched? But that may just be due to lifestyle choices, not sure. All in all, this is the worst rubbish I've ever put into my body, if I could give it a zero I would."


"I developed psoriasis after the birth of my first child.  It responded well to Taclonex, but I had to stop using it for my second pregnancy.  My elbows, and now the tops of my feet, became really bad recently and I called for a new prescription.  After weeks of terrible discomfort it is almost cleared in a few days time.  I have never experienced any side effects.  I love this medicine."


"I was placed on Minastrin 24 FE after I complained about horrible 5-7 day periods, a week off, then 4 days of spotting that has been happening for 14 months. My doc said this would stop the 2nd spotting period I had every month. She also signed me up for a pelvic ultrasond. Well since I have been on the pill I have had a whole month of bleeding, not spotting. I'm exhausted and can't even go to work till 10am now cause the bleeding is soooo bad from 5am to 9am. Now I will say they did find a rather large polyp on my utereus during the ultrasound so I will have it surgically removed next week... so maybe the intense bleeding is a combo of the low dose estrogen and polyp. I just hate that the bleeding was so intense as soon as iIstarted this pill."


"It was painless to have implamented. I had severe bruising where the insert site was. No other side effects other than minor spotting and no more period. No pain in the insert area, but I do request blood pressure to be taken from the opposite arm. The blood pressure machine hurts the implant. No children after 3 years of unprotected sex with my significant other. Also, I feel the implant when I graze my fingers over my under arm, which is how it should be. I will use it again."


"I have been on 225mg for four years and I've liked it for the lack of side effects. Now I think it isn't working well. I'm kind of worried about 300mg."


"I am 55 years old. Began taking Cialis at doctors suggestion due to side effects with Viagra (smashing headaches). Began taking 10mg Cialis every three days and found it to be very effective with no side effects. After six days of use I developed lower back pain and transient pains/aches in lower legs. Tolerable; but not fun to deal with. May switch from continuous use to use as needed or switch to the 5mg dosage. Very effective."


"I have been taking Avonex for over ten years now. I always take it at room temperature, one hour before bed and on Saturday nights so I can relax the next day. I only had flu like symptoms when I first started taking it or if I missed a couple weeks. I take two Motrin when going to bed and never have any issues sleeping. I have had MS for over 20 years now and have found Avonex to work best for me. I have one or two pseudo exacerbations each year but have had no major flares for years now, knocking on wood..."


"I just began the second week of the patch and so far, I love it! I put the patch on my bum and I alternate which sides every week. It stays on through showers, school, sex...etc. I haven't really had any side effects except a little bit of a headache every now and then, but I don't know if that even has anything to do with the patch because I have a problem staying hydrated. It's not the most attractive looking thing, but my boyfriend likes to see it because it lowers his stress and thus makes sex more enjoyable. Once this month is over I'll make another review to see if anything has changed!"


"At first when I used it, it was really terrible. My skin got worse and I also got dry patches all over my face and it made me less confident seriously! But I have been using it for almost 2 months now, I can really see the difference on my face. I've already read a lot of reviews, some said that when you use it for about 6 months then you'll see the perfect results. And that's what I'm actually trying to do. My skin is not the best for now ,but I'm sure it will eventually be gone. Thanks to adapalene! And this was actually recommended by my dermatologist. My skin has a lot of whiteheads going on on my forehead and chin but it really lessen up."


"I found out i have a anxiety disorder that has caused seizures. Finally i can walk around and sleep .also not aggetated anymore.  I do get a little light headed tho."


"After being on high doses of morphine and oxycodone and not having satisfactory pain relief, plus getting uncomfortable as the medicines would start to wear off, I was switched to a pain clinic where the doctor prescribed methadone.  I am now taking 25 mg 3 times a day.  It works very well for my severe chronic thoracic back pain (from an accident 30 years ago).  It provides better pain relief than the morphine and oxycodone (for me at least) and it is very smooth with not much up and downs like I had with the prior opiates.  So there is almost no anxiety or craving in the final hour before the time for the next dose arrives and the pain relief is good for almost the full 8 hours between doses.  Side effects are relatively minimal."


"Used for a month or two. Gave me terrible migraines daily, along with irritability and nausea. I didn’t notice any difference in my acne."


"I am a 43 years old woman who had acne since the 6th grade. I have tried everything in the last 30 years; OTC, antibiotics oral and topical.  I happened to go to the Dermatologist for a growth elsewhere. He asked about my acne and I told him the story. He prescribed Epiduo Forte. I thought "whatever" I will try it. Thinking its just another medicine that won't work. Luckily my insurance paid for it otherwise I probably won't have tried it. Its been about 8 weeks and my skin has never looked better. I am amazed. I would have rated it a 10 but there is burning  at times."


"Couldn't live life without it."


"It opens things up well but my case is advanced and it does not last more than 2 or 3 hours. My lung function is under 30% so YMMV. Also take Advair and albuterol. Good luck to all."


"I was taking 2 Prevacid every day for really bad heartburn.  My doctor switched me to Nexium and I still found myself taking 2 pills a day to avoid waking up at night with a horrible taste in my mouth and pain in my chest.  Next, my doctor told me to try Kapidex and she said I would only have to take it once a day.  I didn't believe her until I tried it.  I didn't wake up at night wanting another heartburn pill!  It works so much better than Nexium and Prevacid and my doctor told me those two were the best.  My doctor and I now think Kapidex is the best."


"I started taking this during the first trimester. I'm usually against taking medicine, but I was soooo sick. So, I figured it was worth a try. At first, I didn't notice any change. I mean, I was still slightly sick. I was expecting the nausea to disappear completely like Zofran would have done. I kinda thought it wasn't working, so I decided to stop taking it...big mistake...my nausea was SEVERE once I stopped taking it. I decided to give it another go. By comparison, I could tell that it was working. I still feel tired, and certain things still make me feel sick (like strong smells and certain foods), but I am no where near as sick as I would be if I stopped taking it. I can totally tell if I miss a dose."


"I had sex during my most fertile time! The condom broke and I was freaked out! I took plan B 30-36 hours after it happened. I was super tired the day I took it and slept most of the day. I then received bad cramps I thought I was "implanting"! A few days later I started getting nauseous and back pains I thought I was pregnant! That continued for almost a week.. And I got really sick... My boobs hurt, and I had awful pain in my back. At that point I was terrified!  Now 2 days late I received my period!"


"Increasing dose from 150mg to 300mg daily stopped suicidal ideation, but did not improve anhedonia. Increased dose associated with onset of hemidyskinesia, which diminished on lowered dosage and resolved completely when drug stopped."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for several years, having my dose upped slowly to a total of 90mg taken throughout the day.  30mg in the morning and 60mg at bedtime and even with the increases I have not had ANY pain relief that I have noticed from before I started taking the Cymbalta.  I can say though that it has somewhat helped me with some depression that I had begun to have due to the fibromyalgia."


"I got the Implanon implanted in December 2009 and at 1st I hated it. Now after a year I'm starting to like it. For the 1st 6 or 7 months my periods were irregular and almost constant. I also gain 30pounds. My skin has always had problems with eczema, but once I went on this birth control it went crazy with rash covering my whole body. Now that I've had it for more then 9 months I have my complete sex drive back, bleeding has come more regular but still kind of crazy, my skin has cleared up and I'm feeling less depressed. So I agree with most of the doctors when they say stick it out because it does it better and with all the side effects it has given me I still think it is better than having to take a pill every day."


"I've had my Nexplanon for about 2 weeks now. I have no bad side effects maybe I'm a lucky one but I love the ease of it. Definitely would recommend it. My first period lasted 5 days (my usual time) but it was noticeably lighter. "


"I was prescribed Wellbutrin SR for the cessation of smoking. I had been smoking for 12 years. My doctor put me on 150mg 2x a day. Within the first 2 days, the satisfaction and enjoyment of smoking was gone. I would light up and take a couple of drags, but end up putting it out. It was no longer enjoyable. This works!! It also helps with decreasing my appetite. I am just now trying to find something to get that satisfied feeling that I had from smoking. I did notice some sleep disturbances for the first week of taking the meds, but now its better. I also noticed some weird thoughts in the first week. But I feel much better now and have no desire to smoke."


"I have generalized anxiety disorder and take mirtazapine along with several other meds. It helps me sleep and does help the depression lift somewhat. It has more of a calming effect on me rather than the energizing effect other antidepressants had. I take 15mg per day. The only drawback I've noticed is an increase in appetite, with a craving for carbs."


"I have been taking valium for 15 years for sleep and anxiety 15-30mg.  This drug has worked good through the years but I have begun to notice memory and balance issues so I decided to get off of it. The first time I quickly tapered and one night I awoke to a racing heart beat, tremors, & an intense feeling like my head, face, & back were on fire. I had to go back on because of this. Now I'm doing a slow taper so far have gone from 15mg to 7.5mg over 4 months. Going from 15-10mg was easy but going under 10mg has been very difficult at times. For years I was very much positive about this drug but I do not think you should take it for more than a month unless you just have to have it. Just be careful withdrawals can kill."


"I have been on this specific brand for over 10 years. Take it every night before I go to bed. I have had weight gain but its a maintained gain but its been 100% effective, never been pregnant! My sexual urges visit me usually in my 2nd week after my period, so hasn't completely killed my libido. Normal periods lasting from Wednesday to Sunday... Been fabulous for me!"


"I love Topamax. I can only take the minimal dosage or else I will get the tingling and start to feel a little out of it. I was suffering from silent migraines for over a year and a half. Nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, light headedness, fatigue, upset stomach and daily headaches but the headaches could be cured with ibuprofen. Of course, it took a while to figure out that these symptoms were all caused by migraines but they were and after taking Topamax for 2 weeks I stopped having silent migraines.

I even went off of it after about 3 months of being on it, just to see if my body had possibly regulated itself, but it had not. I was sick again in no time. It was horrible. It took about 2 weeks for the Topamax to kick back in."


"It is unbelieveable.  I have hurt so badly and for so long.,  Finally I got a caring Doctor that actually listened to me.  He spent about 45 minutes talking to me.  I have had a spinal fusion and both hips replaced.  The discs above and below the fusion are going bad  I found a doctor that prescribed the MS and I am almost pain free.  I am afraid to take a deep breath.  It has been so long since I could do the most ordinary things like push the grocery cart and walk up an incline.  I think this drug is wonderful.  I haven't had the up and down ride you get with hydrocodone,"


"I was prescribed Percocet 5/325 for a displaced distal radius fracture.  It was great at helping to manage the pain until I could have surgery to implant hardware to keep the fracture in place and dealt with post op pain well too.  Vicodin was the MD's original choice but leaves me wired and sleepless.  I've only used this for 4 weeks and am now down to just one tab at night.  The primary side effects I've noticed now are some pretty extreme GI distress but have been told this is normal.  All in all, this has been a very painful injury and I'm not sure just what I would have done without consistent pain relief.  I do suggest using no more than necessary."


"Ok today is my 1st day starting on 3.75mg-23mg capsule. Today is 10/5/2017 and I have the free 2 week trial starting weight is 222lb and I would love to lose at least 50lbs. So far I had a protein shake for breakfast, a salad with grilled salmon and one boiled egg for lunch brought from home and drinking water all day. I will try to remember to check in weekly with updates. I can't rate this yet but I will in a couple of weeks"


"I had panic attacks and I've always had pretty high levels of anxiety, but since I got put on valium I have not had one attack or even felt like I was stressed.  I also stopped biting my fingernails down to the nub!  A happy side effect was that I was told by my doctor to take it if my back started to hurt (because of my scoliosis) and since I started doing that my back has not "gone out" like it did SO much before!"


"Hi I have been taking minocycline for at least 2 weeks and after two weeks i broke out in hives. I noticed the hives because it started on my fingers with swelling and itching and then moved up on my arms. I had to go to the emergency room and get medicine for the swelling and itching to go down. I do not recommend this medication."


"Have used metronidazole for an infection before. It worked but the taste was awful."


"I'm on day 7. It's the third antibiotic I've taken in 2 months. I pray it worked. I wanted to tell people to take good PROBIOTICS and it will keep the itching away. I take keffir It's like a probiotic yogurt smoothie w billions of good bacteria per serving in the yogurt section. I've also used Pill form probiotics "


"I have multiple illnesses. One being a bunch of myalgias. My nerve pain was so bad I could barely walk, I couldn't shower or tolerate heat. Sunlight was too bright. Very slowly we worked up to the max dose. It really only is effective for 5-6 hours so I take it faithfully 3x everyday!! It has made my life doable."


"This is the only birth control I've ever been on so I don't have a point of comparison, but I don't think it's helpful at all. I started it because I was having periods every two weeks for about 2 months. I'm in my third month of taking it and not only do I still randomly get my period in the middle of the month, but if I am so much as 5 minutes early or late taking the pill in the morning I'll get my period again. I already had depression and it made it so much worse than it already was that I had to go back into therapy. Acne is no better or worse. I guess the only thing it did right was that it sort of made my cramps better? And then not to mention the fact that even after insurance it's still $50, which I can't afford every month."


"I love this medication. It got me feeling the best I have in a long time. I don't feel so on the edge everyday. I take 600 mg a day. It has done good by me."


"I had an adult onset of acne at age 37. Out of nowhere I had 10 to 15 pimples on my face... minimum. I made an appointment with my dermatologist. She put me on Aczone. I used the coupon online and got it for my co-pay (much cheaper... as it is pricey). I used it once a day. At first my face dried up and my acne increased. However, after a month I went acne free...since 2013! If you can get past the first month... you will be all clear! However, once your face is clear you may be tempted to stop! Please don’t... as acne may return and you’ll have to start all over. Just my 2 cents!"


"This medicine really helped me out with a bronchitis attack. I have been suffering with acute bronchitis for about 3 weeks now, after taking all of the medication that my doctor prescribed I still have no relief. After reading reviews I decided to give Mucinex (liquid) a try, to my surprise it really helps to bring up all of that sticky mucus that was stuck in my lungs. Although I'm not fully well yet, I can see better days ahead!"


"Started taking Losarton because of expense of Benicar which I had taken for over 10 years.  Over a year ago I had been on Flecainide and I started have vision problems.  No one could findvthecsource, treated me for uveitis with prednisone and problems went away.  This past winter started takking Losarton and my vision has gotten worse again.  Losing vision in right eye.  Went to see specialust, all tests came back negative, wants to do procedure to withdraw fluid and test for Lymphoma.  I think my eye problems are from the losarton.  Another poster said they had loss of vision in right eye too.  Losarton has not helped my blood pressure, still high systolic, lower number good but Ihink pacemaker controls it. Haveexcruciatingbackpainand join"


"Every side effect listed was experienced by me to the point that I could not sleep.  The horrid taste in my mouth, joint pain, backache, nausea, severe headache and urinary hesitation.  Avoid this medication."


"Horrible. Absolutely horrible. I do 40mg weekly using the prefilled syringe & oh my god. It's the most horrifying pain I've ever felt. I would tell anyone considering going on Humira to strongly reconsider & rethink your options. It may only be 10-30 seconds but it will make you cry, no matter how tough you are.

It's also not helping with my Crohn's disease at all, 0 change in inflammation.

Do not use this."


"I've had 2 surgeries, nerve stimulant, injections, nerve burns, Physical Therapy, chiro, acupuncture, and every medicine made.  With 4 kids, I have to be able to drive, think and function.  I have severe sciatica, hip & back pain. I am bone on bone with a rupture at L3/L4 and after the failed nerve stimulation my only option is fusion from L3 to S1 - NOT an option.  I started Butrans about 6 months ago on 10 and moved to 20.  I change every 5 days - my doctor wrote it that way - it wears off after 5.  My pain breaks through some - but I have Norco which is less effective on the patch. It has to be put on carefully, precisely, & it itches, creates a slight rash and it occasionally comes off but I can't live without it. I don't feel high, I just feel relief."


"I got the Liletta a year ago after a miscarriage. The insertion wasn't horrible, but I could feel it afterwards for a while. I lost my sex drive and now I very seldom have the urge to have sex or to be touched. I have gained 24 lbs in the past year but am more active then I have been in years- I walk more and move around not just sit around and drive all the time. I am the biggest that I have been ever! I have different symptoms before my cycle (which is just spotting for a couple days) but I will have a dull achy back pain, stomach and intestines have started to burn, and I feel major flutters in my lower abdomen for about a week before it starts. I don't think I like it very much, not pregnant that I know of. Just always feel like crap..."


"I had a virus infection of the back wall of my heart. In Feb 2007, my EF was 20% and I was throwing PVC's like crazy. My cardiologist started me on Coreg (carvedilol) but could not tolerate a dose higher than 3.125mg and he also started me on Vasotec (enalapril) and, again, I could not tolerate a dose higher than 2.5mg. In fact, I take my blood pressure before every dose (2x daily) and if it is less than 130, I do not take the Vasotec.

By June 2007, my EF was 68% and only the occasional PVC these days.

Coreg and Vasotec continue to work very well and have saved my life!"


"I was in a horrible car crash Sept. 7th 2014, I was air cared to UC, I was in ICU for 9 days and remained hospitalized 3 months. I never used to have trouble going to sleep but since my accident I will lay in bed hours, on really bad nights sometimes its all night, with my eyes closed trying to fall asleep but I just can't.  I believe being on a dilaudid drip for so long during my hospital stay then morphine and oxycodone for a while plays a big role in my sudden insomnia, also I was diagnosed with GAD 6 years ago which I'm sure sometimes adds to my trouble sleeping. ZzzQuil or Benadryl helped some at first but now neither help at all. Finally was given Zolpidem 10mg and I LOVE it, I fall asleep and sleep all night. Definitely recommend it!"


"I was so excited about this new drug.  I gained about 20 pounds after my 2nd child then an extra 20 from Viibryd. My insurance didn't cover it but the Dr gave me free samples. The first week was hell for me. I felt like I was pregnant all over again. Horrible fatigue, super nauseous and my emotions we're off. I felt like I was going to having panic attacks. The fatigue was the worst! After day 6 I'm quitting."
