"I have a herniated cervical disk which pinches a nerve sending excruciating pain down my neck, through left shoulder and all the way down my arm. Before my diagnosis, I could only lay on my back as if paralyzed. I am currently taking 75mg Lyrica with Metoclopramide (4 times a day), along with 100mg Tramacet (Tramadol) ER (once a day). I also take 37mg Tramadol IR whenever I have breakthrough pain. This is the minimum I need to function, but it does allow me to work and improves my overall mood. Both the Lyrica and Tramacet seem pretty weak. I will see my doctor about increasing the doses or changing meds for better relief. I am 58 and new to chronic pain. I am working in Japan and must renew my prescription every 2 weeks."


"I take sumatriptan for the onset of my migraines and nausea that come along with my CVS. On bad days they help a lot. The only thing is I usually have to take more than one dose and the medication is expensive even with insurance."


"I started on Prozac (fluoxetine) after the deaths of my sister and mother in the same year, 5 months apart and I started taking 10mg with Xanax but I still felt depressed.  My doctor put me on 20 mg a day with 1/2 of a 1 mg Xanax and I feel a bit of relief, calmness, and no suicidal thoughts.  I found that when I skip a day or two, I start crying a lot.  Prozac works for me along with Xanax."


"I have been suffering from severe pain for 8 years now from crushed nerves from a work related incident.  I get immediate pain relief without the side effects like upset stomach, nausea, dizziness and headache.  I think this a wonderful drug for a chronic pain suffer like me who gets no relief from the ther pain medications on the market."


"I've had the implant since July of 2016. I had a baby in June of 2016. Before I got pregnant, I had very predictable periods with some mild depression/anxiety that was controllable with a positive environment. After getting the implant, I have not had a period since (major plus!!!) and I have dealt with some PPD, but I contribute that to having a baby. I haven't lost any weight, it's been terribly difficult to do so. Other than that I would 100% recommend this birth control to a friend. I've tried the pill and the copper IUD (which was hell on earth)."


"I had a muscle spasm across my back for 3 weeks. I took Alleve, Ibuprofen 800, Capzasym, Biofreeze, Ice, my husband massaged the area every night. All this provided very little relief.

I went to the urgent care doctor recently for a sore throat and mentioned the spasm I am experiencing. He gave me Skelaxin samples.

After the first dose I expected to pass out like I do with muscle relaxants but I was not drowsy at all. Instead, I experienced something pleasant - relief!"


"I have been dealing with major insomnia for the past 2 mths. and, after trying other sleep meds (which didn't work), was prescribed 1mg of Lunesta before bed. It took about an hour to put me to sleep. I got about 5 disturbed hours of sleep. I tossed and turned all night and woke up feeling like I'd had 1 hr of sleep. Then the bad part came: the morning. I woke up super drowsy, had intense anxiety, OCD, tremors, chest and nasal congestion, stomach upset and shortness of breath. I was also super emotional and cried uncontrollably all day. These symptoms lasted all day. All that, so that I can get basically no sleep on this pill?! Needless to say, I will never take this pill again! The side effects are worse than anything I've experienced!"


"I've been on Apri for about a year now, since I took it I had no extreme side effects however, it didn't do much to regulate the length of my periods which stayed in 5 days, didn't clear up my skin though I never had an acne problem to begin with, I did take away my sex drive and I gained 7 pounds but I didn't get pregnant which is why I needed it to begin with. Overall it does the main job."


"It is the only thing that works well for the vertigo and off balance feeling. Small amounts are all that is necessary, when the episodes occur only."


"I have only taken Abilify for about 2 weeks but it has been the best experience yet with meds. Very mild side effects that only lasted for 2 days. I wake up early with tons of energy and motivation. The thought of leaving the house during the day doesn't make me want to crawl in a hole. I have not had ONE depressing thought or episode and for someone with Bi Polar, that is AMAZING."


"I started this medication about 4 months ago after being on Prozac for 5 months. Antidepressants react differently for everyone, and I am happy to say I have had a very good experience with this medication thus far. I have much more energy, will to live, and my anxiety has also decreased immensely. I have not experienced any side effects with this, however I strongly recommend staying away from alcohol. After a night of drinking I would fall into a depressive state or have a panic attack. This never happened to me before taking this medication."


"I have been on Nexplanon for a few months now and I either have a 2 week long period, a one week long period that is followed by a few weeks of spotting, or I have a 2 week long period followed by two to three days without bleeding at all then spotting followed by two more weeks of a period. I have not been able to have sex because I am always bleeding or spotting. I have no idea if this birth control works for me because I haven't been able to have sex and try it out. Everyone is different though, I have had friends with the same problem as me and friends that do not bleed at all. You will never know what will happen until you try it. I have not gained weight so that is a plus."


"Hello my name is Tori and I just started contrave (yes pricie but it is worth it if it helps!) and I'm very hopefull on this I am very sad to say I weigh 328 and I'm 19 about to be 20 this year I have struggled with a weight problem my whole life I have PCOS and I have Insulin Resistance.. And then have seen some great things about this medicine by reading what many of you have said. If anyone could help me with some tips that would be great!(: but already on my first day I feel more alive not so depressed and tired all the time and honestly my cravings have calmed down this pill is already starting to win me over."


"Awful! The most traumatic experience I've subjected my vagina to. I was looking to treat the YI, not to torture my vagina with the most intense itching and burning sensation that I don't wish upon anyone. After reading these reviews I thought it best to get this product out of my vagina. After doing so the itch has slightly subsided, however the burning sensation is still there."


"I'm taking this and Remeron for major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Nothing else has worked. I was on Wellbutrin for 2 years but it quit doing anything and after 4 medicine changes my doctor put me on this. Within a week I was not sulking around, I had energy to get off the couch and shower, and actually found I could laugh again! My husband has noticed the difference in my mood as well. I am having horrible sweats at night, and a little blurry vision along with nightmares/weird dreams. But I'm hoping that might fade some as I take it longer. I'm willing to deal with the side effects at this point as I'm getting myself and my life back."


"This was my favorite pill for almost 20 years. Little to no side effects (with the exception of a little nausea for the first pack or two).  My skin always looked radiant, my periods were super-duper light every month, no cramping, and I never once had a pregnancy scare. Only reason I am switching is because I am now in my 40's and am starting on a 20mcg dose pill.  Would love to stay on it, but lower estrogen doses are considered safer for those over 40.  For younger women who have issues with painful or heavy periods, acne, or who just need highly effective birth control, I highly recommend this pill.  It is available as a generic as well (Necon 777) which seems to work just the same."


"Before the patch, I was on the pill. I don't know which, but it gave me severe nausea every morning, almost as if I was pregnant. I would have my dad pull the car off to the side of the road for me to vomit in the morning sometimes. When I went off to college I immediately visited my gyno and said I wanted something different. She said the patch is good but very expensive, but I went for it. I have no side effects except for tender breasts. It is hassle free and it is very effective. I keep it on my butt cheek so no one sees, even if I go swimming! I do not think I will ever change from the patch."


"Okay sooo... I got Skyla inserted in the beginning of January. It is now MARCH 13th and I've literally had my period since February 6th. I know periods will be irregular the first couple months but mine literally has not stopped. Every single day.. blood. It's not very fun and it a mood killer for sex so here I am. Debating what to do..."


"I've been on this for over 6 months now and seizure free since then.  I do have a very mild loss in appetite, but that has not stopped me from eating, only how much I eat.  Side effects are the lowest overall from all the other medicines I've been on in the past (Topomax, Triliptal, Depakote & Phenobarbital).  Best of all it's only once a day!"


"I've been on this medication for 6 months already and my skin is worse than before taking it.  I'm have suffered from acne for 17 years, but I had not had any breakouts on my forehead for a long time until I got on this pill.   I won't even talk about my chin because it's terrible.  I really feel frustrated because I have spent thousands of dollars trying to find a solution for my chronic acne and I have not been successful.   I've tried antibiotics,  ointments,  scrubs, etc... my last resource was this pill and it didn't work."


"On this for cystoid macular edema after cataract surgery for 21 days. After 24 hrs I had a severe headache in the occipital area which increased 4 fold daily to the point of nausea, severe nausea, then 3 days of vomiting prior to winding up in the ER for cardiac. After 5 hrs. of testing FORTUNATELY it was not a heart attack. I knew something was up from day one (former pharmacy worker) with the side effects. The day after I stopped the drops no headache & other symptoms vanished!! Did research and the drug had interaction with my Diltiazem 240mg ER I was taking for HBP.  What happened was the PredForte drop was magnified 4X by the effect with the interaction with my script. I'm telling you folks ALWAYS keep your Pharmacist in the loop."


"I have chronic otitis media problem which I had since I was 14 (I am now 37) and the 1gm dose of Augmentin for a week, 1 tablet daily - is by far the best solution for me. Experienced a bit if nausea but its not so bad. This is the best antibiotics for my otitis media condition for now. Love it!!!"


"I experienced abdominal pain due to IBS for years.  These pains were present no matter what I ate.  While these pains were at their peak I could hear gurgling in my stomach area therefore I knew they were gas related. Doctors tried every test known but couldn't find anything wrong.  I had nearly given up hope.  The only thing that seemed to help at all was activated charcoal.   One day a nurse practitioner prescribed me nortriptyline to trial.  She told me that it wasn't for IBS but it may help with some of its symptoms.  Within a week my pains went away and have been gone now for 2 years.  I take one pill every night before bed.  I am another who will say that nortriptyline has changed my life."


"Didn't get pregnant, but how could I when I bled for 3 months straight! And gained weight.."


"Switched from Cipralex (escitalopram) as it made me so sleepy all the time and very sweaty at night. Pristiq gave me 0 side effects and I noticed a change in my energy level pretty much right away. I felt much better all day, and would sleep great at night. I also tried Effexor (venlafaxine) since Pristiq has no generic brand and was very pricey without a drug plan, however Effexor gave me horrible side effects! Terrible insomnia at night (trouble falling asleep and would wake up every hour, mind racing, hard time falling back asleep), tired throughout the day, and very fidgety legs and feet at night while sitting still or laying in bed. Also noticed I would lock my jaw tightly. Also caused very dry mouth regardless of how much I drank."


"After a full hysterectomy at 42 years I started taking the patch due to severe hot flashes and terrible insomnia. After less then I week, I've had only mild hot flashes and 2 good nights of sleep. I'm so happy to be taking estrogen. No side effects"


"So, my experience with plan b one step. Right now, I am not sure if it work or not. Last month in January, I had to take plan one step twice. Mistake happen 2 weeks apart. First mistake, took the pill 9 hrs after sex, and Second mistake, took the pill 5 hrs after sex. The 2 times I took it, I spotted a couple of days after. Right now, I am still waiting for my period. Been having a sour stomach, nausea, burping, for awhile. And time to time sore breast. Still no period. Hoping the pill worked. 4 negative pregnancy test. Having really bad anxiety panic attacks. :(

Praying the pill's work!"


"Love Mobic, but it gave me stomach ulcers. At first I thought I had heartburn until everything started to make me sick. I also worry about the damage it does to your liver. Now I have to decide which is worse, pain or being sick to my stomach, because Mobic is the only thing that keeps me going. Best since Vioxx and we know where that went."


"I was prescribed 10mg Flexeril after pulling an abdominal muscle which lead to spasms.  The Flexeril made the pain and spasms stop but gave me severe dry mouth and made me so dizzy I couldn't get to sleep."


"I am a 67 year old female and I have suffered from fibromyalgia for approximately 35 years.  With that being said I have also suffered from depression over the years and have taken Prozac and Zoloft with no effect. For the past 3 months I have been suffering from anxiety and depression and have been extremely nauseated and have lost 16 pounds.  I was on venlafaxine for 2-1/2 weeks with no results and have now been on Pristiq for 9 days and instantly felt 100% better.  I have my appetite back and have much more energy.  I actually feel like living again.  I hope my health continues to be better on the medication."


"I initially took Cymbalta for distonia, which was involuntary movement in my hands caused by a type of Muscular Dystrophy. A combination of Cymbalta, Neurontin, and Tramadol are very effective in reducing my pain. After several months I noticed a great change in my personality. To make a long story short, I realize I've dealt with anxiety most of my life. Cymbalta has literally changed my life. If this medication had been available in the 1960's or 1970's my life would have been dramatically different. I can't imagine life without Cymbalta."


"I did not sleep well for a over 30 years. Took Ambien for 15 years. Doctor hopped until my new doc prescribed gabapentin for restless leg & other things. I now sleep better than I have ever slept. It has changed my life. I dream & can concentrate. Wonderful."


"Is this product a few years ago then the company stopped making it was very disappointed because the results are awesome want to see my derm she said the pharmaceutical company is making triluma again and 4 days later my face is completely clear I was advised to continue to wear my sunscreen and hats"


"This medicine is a miracle! I have completed my first months pack and I am proud to say that I have been smoke free for 7 days. It took me 3 weeks to quit and I probably could have sooner but I was hanging on to my bad habit. I didn't really think this medicine would work because I loved my cigarettes and it would take a lot for me to leave them but I am so happy to say that they are gone. I do have to deal with cravings every once in awhile (especially the first few days) but you just have to fight through them by keeping your mind busy with other things and the cravings will pass. The only side effect that I've had from this medicine is difficulty sleeping and racing thoughts. For awhile I was only able to sleep a few hours at a time."


"I used to use this in my high school days but eventually stopped when my skin cleared up. Now in my adulthood, my skin began getting way worse than back then and after various acne regimes I decided to revert back to epiduo and just cleansing with cetaphil (plus I've been getting facials/laser where they do pimple extractions and other skin pigmentation techniques to get rid of blemishes/acne scars - which works wonders and I highly recommend!). I definitely agree with comments about how they make your marks darker, visually my skin looks like absolute shit but the texture has gotten heaps better! My skin is also purging but still better than what it was like before. its definitely worth trying! You just have to be persistent"


"I have been taking repinerole for only a week but I was having restless legs 3 to 4 times a week and nothing since taking it and no side affects that I am aware of so I love it so far!"


"I have been on Trinessa for a year. It made my periods regular. It made no improvement on my acne though. As for the birth control it is doing it's job. When I first began to take Trinessa my breats would get sore for a few days every month but now they have no effect on them. Before Trinessa I was using Femcon Fe. It's the chewable pill. I used it for a year and had no periods. But it was $60/month. Also, if I forgot to take a pill and took 2 the next day I would always get spotting. I haven't had that problem with Trinessa. One week I missed the first 3 pills and still didn't get any spotting."


"This was absolutely awful - Much worse than the colonoscopy! Tasted vile. Really struggled to get it all down, and after all that, it did not work properly. Had to get up in the night to change the bed!! Only started to work at 10pm, 2 hours after I had finished it at 8pm -  revolting preparation"


"First I must say that Latuda has done something for me I never thought possible from any medication. It has almost completely wiped my depression and anxiety away. I the first time I tried Latuda I woke up the next day a whole new person. I could believe it! I take Lamictal, Cymbalta and Latuda everyday. 1 mg of Ativan as needed for anxiety. My Doc replaced my Abilify with Latuda and my whole life has changed. It's expensive though and I found a lot of insurances will not pay for it without prior authorization my doc. We will see how that goes. If you feel hopeless like you have tried all the meds and nothing has worked i'm telling you to ask your Doc to put you on Latuda."


"I have been taking Hydroxyzine 25mg for several years now and it does make my panic attacks stop no matter how bad they are, however they completely knock me for a loop. I was taken down to half a pill and then quarter but it still makes me so tired and out of it that I fall asleep or feel like I am in a total daze. I can not drive or even leave the house after I have to take a pill. Just a warning to anyone who is taking these pills for the first time, make sure you do not have to go anywhere or do anything (including taking care of children) before you know how you are going to react to these pills."


"My husband and I suffered the loss of our baby (7/2/14) and I needed a D&C the following day due to severe blood loss and I was on Percocet 5/325's for 1 week and then lowered to Vicodin 5/325's and I went to my FP and he prescribed Tylenol 3's for my menstrual cramps. He said to take it with 3-4 ibuprofen. Tylenol 3's hardly ever work for me. When taken in combination together, they work great."


"My son started nightly injections of Tev-Tropin just 5 weeks ago after being diagnosed with a growth deficiency. He is almost 13 years old. We measured this morning and he has growth 3/4 of an inch!"


"My son is 7 and has been taking Enbrel for a year and a half along with methotrexate.  He is doing remarkably! Before the medication he literally had to crawl because the pain was so bad in his ankles.  After only one shot of Enbrel he is able to run and play like a normal child! Unbelievable!  Thank goodness for Enbrel!"


"I had TERRIBLE PMS on this pill.  My cramps and back pain were unbearable, even though it didn't last long.  I could have eaten 10000 lbs of chocolate during PMS as well.  I was on my period for about two weeks a month while I took this.  I would start in week 3 and bleed very heavy for 5 days, then light and thick for the next 9 days.  I had to get off.  I did not experience mood swings on it though, that was the good thing...but about the only good thing."


"Had RA for 4 yrs after birth of my baby. I spent 2 years on various meds which did nothing for the pain Then put on Humira which worked wonders for nearly 2 years then started getting flare ups again so they put me on Enbrel 1st injection fine 2nd got small injection site reaction 3Rd injection got massive reaction at injection site & laryngitis Dr diagnosed cellulitis but after reading that laryngitis can be a symptom of allergic reaction I'm leaning towards an allergic reaction and am currently waiting a reply from my rheumatology team!"


"I had severe acne, rosacea and had tried tetracycline antibiotics, Duac, Differin and Dianette to get rid of it with no results- it was that bad I had stopped going out! Referred to dermatologist and prescribed isotretinoin at 40mg per day. Within 7 days my face had cleared completely. This is like a miracle. My skin is still slightly red from the rosacea but nothing I can't cover with concealer.
Side effects so far are blurred vision, muscle pains and dry skin and lips- been through 4 tubs of Carmex in the four weeks I've been on Accutane. Using cetaphil moisturiser and E45 emollient cleanser. Cannot recommend this enough- side effects are annoying but well worth it in the short term in my opinion. Wish I'd insisted on this 4 years ago."


"The implanon that was stuck in my arm it went missing! I had to go to hospital to get it out and it was crazy painful as they hit heaps of nerves while digging in my arm!! but that's nothing compared to the awful gutted feeling of depression and worthlessness I had for 4 years."


"I haven't had a yeast infection in a long time so when I got one from my antibiotics I got the monistat 1 day. I was scared from reading the comments but when I used it I didn't have any problems. All you have to do is make sure the egg goes far enough inside you, like putting in a tampon, and then the cream is for EXTERNAL use only. This could be why some are experiencing more of a irritation/burning sensation. Hope this helped."


"Does nothing for me. I have been on it for 8 days-still have the same symptoms as when I went to the doctor. Wheezing-coughing, congested head, sinus drainage,, etc. I wouldn't take this again-it's like the 7 day wonder pill they all prescribe -that  doesn't work for bronchitis for me & this useless medicine isn't going to cure my problem either. Waste of money. I don't get sick often-but when I do-I need the antibiotics that will help me get well-not the dosage of this junk I was prescribed."


"I'm 5 weeks into taking Duloxetine for depression and anxiety and have had an overall positive experience.  My anxiety was greatly reduced after only 4 days on 40mg per day including stopping negative thoughts, no more panic attacks at night etc.  The second week I was very tired and depressed without the anxiety, sleeping many hours each day.  But by the third week both depression and anxiety were greatly reduced.  However by the end of the month the anxiety had started to return slightly and my doctor has now increased the dose to 80mg per day.  I had slight nausea, dry mouth and loss of appetite, and some indigestion during the first week or so and now again since I have upped the dose but I imagine these will disappear again soon."


"I am a semi-professional bodybuilder and MMA participant. My BMI is above 30 but that is likely due to excessive muscle mass. There are times when I need to shed 10 to 20 lbs to meet weight requirements of my class. I have found that with Belviq, I am able to cut the carbs without any cravings whatsoever. I am able to slim down with ease just prior to competing. I was truly surprised at the results. This is an amazing supplement to my current nutritional routine. I have not experienced any side effects so far and seem to tolerate the medication without any problems. I will be using this sparingly for weight loss. "


"I have struggled with severe anxiety and major depression for 30 years. I have been on MANY different anxiety meds and anti depressants. The only 2 meds that helped slightly were  Paxil and Ativan for panic/anxiety. I was diagnosed with Bipolar about 5 years ago and once again tried other meds. I heard about Lamictal helping other people, so my doctor said we could try it. It has been a LIFESAVER!! I still take Paxil and Ativan, but after the first few days of taking Lamictal, it helped tremendously with my mood swings. But most important, it improved my anxiety by at least 75% if not more. It has been a Godsend for me. I take 100mg a day. Thanks."


"I have osteoporosis in my left hip, My doctor prescribed alendronate I took it 4 weeks the 2nd day I started having  and continue to have hip, back, arm and leg pains.  I did not have any pain before the meds.  I went back to the doctor he said my side effects were not normal and to keep trying for 4 more weeks.. I have not continued it,  I see no reason to continue something that has only caused me intense pain.  I have a very high tolerance for pain but I hurt all the time now.  I exercise by walking 2+ miles every day, it is helping but if I miss a day the pain is twice as bad again.  I do not want to see or even think about of what another 4 weeks would do to my body."


"Takes about an hour to two hours before affects take hold. Ability to focus and think clearly become apparent. Some shortness of breath here and there. I'm fit and active. Increased symptoms of PMS during cycle."


"I was on low dose Cymbalta for 2 weeks and could not handle the fatigue. I switched to Pristiq 50 mg a little over a week ago. My anxiety is 95% gone, my depression..the negative thoughts are gone, I'm not happy but I'm not sad either, my irritability and being easily startled has resolved. I'm able to go out without being anxious, am  returning to work part time in a few weeks. I do feel a little tired a few hours after taking the medication but it doesn't last, my sleep is a little disrupted, little nausea but nothing I can't manage, constipation is a side effect but I use Colace (without the laxative), lost 4 lbs so far. Plan to stay on this indefinitely at this point. Just relieved to finally have some relief from the anxiety/depression."


"This medication has completely changed my life. Without it I feel like I am not complete. Twisted I feel like I can accomplish anything. Without it I sleep and have no motivation, suffer from depression, anxiety, no social skills. With it my whole social outlook changed, I am no longer shy and not showing away from social encounters. It is definitely a miracle."


"Dried skin out at first but persevere as skin gets used to it. Have to use every night or will get a spot but went from having cystic acne to maybe one spot that time of the month! Brilliant product and doesn't mess with your body like the pill. Will never stop using! Great stuff."


"I like the product, but the new cap is terrible.  It took me a half an hour to get it off.  Finally had to use a knife.  Tell the whiz kids that come up with these ideas that there are a lot of us out there that don't have the strength of Hercules and are Rheumatoid Arthritis people.  We can't get the bottles open."


"Ambfly made me gain 100lbs in 8mos. I got off of it and started to loose 5lbs a night. My bad episodes got worse. I wish. I had the right information about this drug. If had known about the drug beforehand I would never have taken it"


"I was prescribed Lyrica for nerve pain as well as tingling/numbness/electricity feeling in my legs.  Since I have been taking it (about 6 months now) these symptoms are all but gone.  The only side effects I have are short term memory loss and concentration issues but I am able to work around these in most cases. Lyrica has been amazing for me."


"I'm 22 and i started this pill exactly a month ago. I'm about to start my 2nd pack this evening. I bled all month long and with the last 4 pills I didn't even spot or cramp. So I am a little concerned. I am definitely going to take a test before I start this new pack but other than the bleeding that has now stopped I have notice my skin is MUCH better. I used to break out on my face chest and back and now its barely noticeable. I (reluctantly) got on the pill because of very painful ovairian cysts. I do feel pain here and there but NOTHING like I had before. When I was 16 I got on the nuvaring and was on that awful thing for 5 years. I got off it and lost 30 pounds!!!! and I'm a petite person. But other then the spotting I love it!!"


"I have bipolar 2 and anxiety. I've been on and off different medications for this over  the last 20 years. I started on a small dosage about 7 months ago. I slowly made my way up to 100 mg oncedaily. I did have some skin reactions with each increase but it would disappear after a few days. This with my 150mg bupropion and 60mg of duloxtine has changed my life. I've only felt suicidal once over these 7 months and it was manageable and it abated quickly. My moods are stable and I've been able to face some challenges that would have crushed me if I wasn't taking lamotrigine. I love being stable and level headed. I do have some minor thought blocking and trouble remembering words sometimes but I'll take it!"


"I have post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, and depression. My doctor started me on Saphris almost a week ago and as of this time I'm getting more sleep than I have in years! I'm very happy with the performance of this medicine."


"I've been on Rifampin for one month and I've had all sorts of side effects. Some days I'm fine, other days not so much. At night I break out in sweats, I got thrush so I had to take medicine for that. I go to doctor in a couple of days and I need to find out if I can stop it. I don't want to go through this for 3  more months."


"I have been constipated for over 20 years. Recently I started having stomach pains, after one week of discomfort I went to the ER. They took a flat plate x-ray and concluded that I should see my doctor right away. The doctor prescribed Linzess 145 mcg, He give me samples for 16 days and a prescription to fill, after taking 1/day for 6 days I called the doctor, and he instructed me to take 2, (290 mcg) It worked like a miracle, so I took it for 2 days, and went back to taking 1/day, and this time with the same results like when I took 2 caps. This is amazing and without any side effects. But I am unable to purchase it, because it is too expensive."


"Hello all, I started taking this diet supplement on January 1,2017 and I was so excited and determined to do what it takes to be successful.  I was  prescribed  phentermine 37.5mg and took the whole pill daily earlier morning with water and 30 minutes before breakfast. I would drink plenty of water throughout the day and  would only drink a half cup of coffee 2 or times a week. My calorie in take daily was 1300 . And I would exercise 3 or 4 times a week by doing 1 hr of cardio. I would experience mild side effects such as lack of sleep,  mood swings, light headaches and dry mouth. By drinking plenty of water really helped a lot.  What really helped me a lot was keeping a  daily  diary  and writing down  everything I ate. I lost 20lbs in 2 months"


"I have been taking Latuda for schizoaffective for the past 14 months.

I have been sleeping like a baby and have no delusions what so ever.

BUT

I have been very addicted to temptations. I have been drinking a lot more than usual and I gained a total of 20kg in these 14 months. My lifestyle is not helping either. I just feel empty, careless, disorganized and unhappy. I do not have motivation to even wash the dishes or dress up like I used to. I am ready to switch to another medication but this med is good for delusions.

One of the severe side effects that I have experiences is I have been talking to myself. Repeating my thoughts out loud all day everyday."


"A very effective drug."


"I stated taking Furosemide yesterday for swelling in my feet and ankles. Right after taking it I had to make a 100 mile drive and ended up stopping 5 times en route to pee. The swelling has already decreased a LOT, and I am able to walk again without pain. I had pretty bad nausea after both doses. I am taking 40 mg once a day. I had to call in sick today as the nausea was causing vomiting. I'll try taking it after work. I went back to bed after calling in sick today and my cat that always sleeps on me was quite annoyed at trips to the bathroom every 10 minutes."


"I had my first colon cancer screening and profonol was excellent. I was nervous, but in seconds, went to sleep and procedure was fast and recovery fast. Just a touch of a headache."


"Had mirena since March 2015, after my baby. Since then I have had no sex drive and despite all my efforts can't lose weight, starting to think this is the issue, thinking about going to gyn to be removed. I still have horrible cramping and mps. Finally no period but trade off is not good"


"I use to be on Gildess for years and never had a problem with it . When they discontinued  it I was prescribed Blisovi. When. I first got my period I had insane headaches and thought I just needed, to adapt to the pill. My periods on gildess lasted like 3-4 days now on blisovi the last over a week and are heavy . In 2 months I have gained over 10 lbs and I workout 5-6 days a week and my breast size went up a cup. I called my physcian after reading everybody's reviews and experiencing all the negative symptoms."


"Loved this. Took it about a year ago and it took about two months to really show results and you only have to take it for about 6 months. I had acne on my face and back which all cleared up. One side effect though was extreme dryness, which I dealt with. I also suffered from depression halfway through the treatment which I dealt with as well. This was all a year ago. About 5 months ago I had severe acne again as I began working in a greasy environment so I was a mess again. I'm back on the pills and its working wonderfully, I'm halfway through and now have mild depression but its not so bad. The only thing I worry about is when I get off this if I'll break out again badly. Also, most people don't ever have to do a second round of this."


"After taking the pill I get into bed expecting to be awake forever, however before I know it I am sound asleep.  Usually sleep through the  night, but not always.  Interestingly the next day I am much calmer then usual.  Not sure if it is because I finally got a good night sleep or if it is a side effect."


"I've suffered from insomnia my whole life. Even my parents said I would barely sleep as a baby. I'm 23. I've been on trazadone which is practically a sugar pill to me. Visteril which made it hard to wake up in the morning, and left me with a hangover feeling. And lunesta. Which did work but I'm an addict and I started abusing it badly. Remeron is great. It makes me fall asleep fast. It feels natural I get tired not tranquilized. I get a deep sleep also. I recommend it. It changed my life"


"First week on Qsymia, lost 13 lbs.  I feeling great.  None of the side effects that I have read about, except I drink a lot more water. I am not craving sweets.  I belong to weight watchers. So I have a accurate record of my weight and I wear their active link that tracks my exercise."


"I have been diagnosed with dysthymia since 2004. Little was known about or how to treat at that time. Now we know so much and how to treat.  It even has a new name.  Cymbalta gave me a chance at life again in so many ways.  Dysthymia has no chance against Cymbalta! Cymbalta is amazing!"


"I was on NuvaRing for 4 months before I decided to go off it. The best part was that it made me lose all of the water weight I had gained on another type of birth control. However, within a few days of inserting the ring, I noticed a HUGE change in my moods. I would feel angry for no reason (like PMS) all throughout the month, I would cry at the drop of a hat, and I started feeling anxious 24/7. My husband could also feel the ring when we had sex, so I would take it out and then put it back in later which can get annoying. I also experience a lot more discharge than normal. NuvaRing is NOT for me."


"I have had the Skyla IUD for a full year now. When I first had it inserted, I basically felt very extreme sharp cramps. I became very nauseous and had to wait at the doctors office before returning home. I was in a lot of pain and the rest of the day I just felt sore. The pain continued for about 3 weeks so I had to take a lot of ibuprofen. After awhile, the pain was less frequent but I experienced somewhat heavy spotting for months. Eventually the pain and the bleeding was less frequent, only occurring when it was my period. However the spotting is quite consistent (even still) and when it's not spotting I have a brownish discharge. Basically, I always have to wear a liner or light tampon. And I occasionally experience cramping still."


"Positive. Though variations in different generic companies product.

i notice difference in effectivnes. And potency vary from one generic verses

Another generic manufacturer  So patient really should understand there are subtle differences that can  be noticed with attention to detail. And careful analysis."


"Saved my Life very effective."


"Pill sticks in throat everytime. horrible medication."


"I went on this because I had a nonstop period for months and developed severe anaemia. My bleeding stopped the next day! Then that day I developed the worst headache of my life and ever since I have had constant headaches. I have developed cyst-like pimples on my neck and face. They're deep, huge and painful. I didn't gain weight but thats because I monitor my calories. I think if I had of let myself eat the amount I wanted then I would have gained weight since I've been more hungrier than normal. I'm also diagnosed with depression but can usually manage it, yet this pill made me have the worst depressive episodes of my life. I don't wanna finish the pack but they were so damn expensive. Do not recommend."


"I am 24 years old, female, 5'1, 130 lbs. Treated for major depression and anxiety. I have aversions to junk food (I am normally health conscious unless I am really depressed), weight loss (12 lbs), dry mouth, lighter mood, easier to focus, more motivated, mountains turn into anthills, lower sex drive, sometimes get headaches. For me, the pros overwrite the cons - I went off of this for 6 months with no problems. No addiction or sickness. I am back on it and boy am I glad to feel happy again."


"I have extremely painful periods. I'm talking pain so bad I cry and want to go to ER. I was given this to help with arthritis. And just happen to start same day well I took one and they are doable now I'm not doubled over crying. Don't get me wrong it still hurts but not nearly as bad."


"This drug has been a lifesaver for me., I has a hysterectomy and 2 years later full blown menopause .... hot flashes - night sweats. I really hated going anywhere when I would run into someone I knew at the grocery store I would get a hot flash and my face turns really red and they would say omg did I say something to make u mad lol and I would say no I'm just boiling from the inside out ugggg , but this med saved me down to maybe 2 a day "


"I went from the pill, right to Nexplanon, I've had it for over a month, I have felt literally no difference, no weight gain or crazy cravings, I feel like it's actually helped my acne, it was painless, only thing was it made my piercings hurt because of the hormones but that went away in about a week. I started slightly spotting today, like a dark brown, nothing a panty liner can't help. I love it, I've had none of the experiences others have in these other stories, but everyone is different. I recommend this form of birth control. I will update again in a few months if things change."


"I take it for sleep. Started on a low dose and increased later. I am not on 75mg per day. It is not expensive and is an old medicine so side effects are well studied. Only issue is that if I miss one dose you can feel depressed. Sleep is a huge part to conquering this. I have noted a huge difference in my sleep and how I feel on a morning. I am better able to work as well. Brain coming back."


"I have been on Humira since 2011- It takes care of my psoriasis and ulcerative colitis. I can actually have a life thanks to Humira. Before I used to take cortisone shots into my psoriasis every few months with steroid creams. I also used to be on the toilet all the time. I was hospitalized in 2010 because I had a fever with a bleeding diarrhea. I lost much blood and the fever would not go away. I finally got back on my feet. Since then I run 5-6 times a week and squeeze lemon juice after runs. I have had no infection or colds in years and Im on Humira. I also do not eat fast food much anymore and cook for myself. I understand there are some risks with this drug so be careful. I am thankful to the universe bc so far so good. thanks Humira"


"So it worked... I normally suffer from motion sickness in cars, if I'm not driving. I decided to put the patch on before a 14 hour long international flight... I didn't suffer from any motion sickness but it made me illiterate!  I could see fine except for letters and numbers (or basic shapes). So I get to the airport at my destination in Uganda and going through customs I needed to fill out a basic form about the reason for my visit etc... only I couldn't read it to save my life! I'd use it again in an emergency but be aware of the potential side effects."


"So I've just turned 33,

I have been battling with acne since puberty, I have tried ever medication topical and oral over the years and I can safely say this stuff actually works, and I'm wondering why the doctor has only prescribed this to me six weeks ago.

It is for me a life saver,

Or should I say a self esteem saver.

When we have clear skin we are confident.

I hate wearing caked on makeup at my age and thanks to doxylin a little foundation is all I need now till my scars completely disappear ,

My skin has changed so much in six weeks, no more breakouts , Well one pimple at period time is not bad at all.

I'm so grateful to have found this medication and just in time for Australian summer.

I highly recommend it to anyone :)"


"While effective as birth control, I had some bad side effects.  I took Yaz for three years and had an increasing number of issues.  All the issues I contributed to something other than Yaz until reading some forums where people were having similar problems.  Some side effects I experienced were weight gain, severe depression, nightmares, severe migraines, and heartburn.  Today my doctor switched me to Aviane. I will take my first pill in about fifteen minutes so I hope that it works for me.
I think everyone needs to remember that each person's body chemistry is different so each type of medication will affect everyone differently.  I think its pretty much trial and error to find the perfect pill for your body."


"I read several forums before I opted to have an IUD placed. I was a person that had a fear that it would affect my chances of having children in the future. The forums, they scared the day lights out of me! So here is my experience:
I am 27 years old. Never been pregnant, tried other forms of birth control but either didn't like the side effects (weight gain, acne, etc), or I forgot to take that darn pill daily! So I talked to my OB about this and he recommended skyla. On the day of the procedure I had scared myself enough that I was so worried it was going to hurt! Dr. Gave me medicine cytosis (sp) to open my cervix to make implantation a little more simple. this procedure was definitely uncomfortable, but it really didn't hurt at all!"


"It has been the best! I only had a little acne here and there but this stuff gets rid of it completely! My advice would to only use a little dot for every part of your face . Because when I first got this product I used way to much for the first month and it dried me out like crazy until I realized I was using way too much"


"Zomig is effective, though I occasionally require a second dose. After taking Zomig, I experience stiffness and achiness throughout my body. Warm water feels very hot on my hands and if I drink tea, it has to be barely warm or it feels like it is burning my mouth. Sometimes after several days of migraines treated with Zomig, I am so sore all over that I have trouble walking or doing anything physical. I have fibromyalgia and it seems like Zomig makes it worse- more painful."


"This medication has teduced the hives and swellings I get when touching cold items like keys, refrigerated vegetables and frozen foods. It has also reduced  my skin's reaction to touch and pressure. I have noticed though that my skin on my face is getting 'rougher' and not as soft as it was before I started taking the medication 4 month's ago."


"Long story short, the condom broke and my partner came in me. With in 45 minutes of realizing what had happened, he bought me Plan B One-Step Step. I took it immediately.  Knowing that my period was supposed to start soon I kept track of symptoms. With in a couple days my breasts were super tender and I got over all super achy. My period came, it came a day early and was a super heavy flow. But honestly, I'd take a super heavy flow over no flow any day.

My advice is to not panic and take the pill AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Read the directions and even go talk to a person at your local Plan Parenthood facility to make sure it will be effective for you. This pill is made to keep you from getting pregnant, trust the pill!"


"I have been taking Strattera 60MG for 6 months and am a Male that weighs 185LBS and is 6 ft 2 in. The ATX(Strattera) was not enough to help my severe unmotivation. I recently added on Concerta (alza 18mg generic) to my medications and it has helped dramatically.

Like a pair of eyeglasses, I can now "see" my life in a better light. It will not get your work done for you nor will it solve all of your issues that you may have, but it will make life a LOT easier to live. Instead of always worrying and being behind, I can get what is real important done and get to what is important another day. My mood has not been bad, my driving is less road rageish. I'm a LOT less stressed out and anxious. I'm blessed to get help at age 22. I am doing well"


"No huge side effects yet. Just took third dose. I already have anxiety so that side effect I can deal with. Hoping my UTI will start clearing up soon. This is my first time taking this drug. I will comment back with results and updates in a few days. 30 year old male."


"I am diagnosed bi-polar and I have tried Lamictal, Lithium, Latuda and I don't even know how many other combinations. Abilify was the only one that has shown results for me. Yes, it tends to make me tired about 4-5 hours after taking it. And it makes me eat like a piggy sometimes, which has caused some weight gain. But nothing to severe. I take 5mg in the morning and 5mg at night, perfect dose for me. It keeps my moods perfectly balanced but I have been taking Abilify since I was 15 and I am now 20 and do not plan on stopping it anytime soon. I have tried that and it did not end well."


"I have been taking the generic drug flouxetine for 17 years now.  I was prescribed this to combat anxiety and panic attacks.  Although I was able to ward off the majority of the panic attacks using breathing methods, I still found myself unable to cope and that was when I was prescribed fluoxetine.  Results were mixed for the first two months.  I did not seem to feel any less anxiety until I was prescribed an additional medication called Klonopin.  This was to be taken as needed for anxiety attacks and it did the job.  The Klonopin actually seemed to get my chemistry under control to let the fluoxetine to work.  Then I only needed to use the Klonopin when the anxiety seems to try and come back.  Fluoxetine needed a bit of help for me."


"I took this drug for 8 months and it cured my depression which is usually unheard of. When I asked for it again several years later for post-partum after having my last child I was told it was taken off the market. Why?? Because it actually CURED people - I don't get it."


"Aged 54 with no kids and premenopausal. Had my period for over a month with heavy bleeding and cramping. Went to ob/gym for consult on possible uterine ablation and she suggested Mirena 1st to stop the bleeding. I have a retroverted uterus and because this wasn't a scheduled procedure I was not told to take any pain meds beforehand. It was the most excrutiating pain ever, however, I also had cervical biopsies done just prior to insertion. Not sure which hurt more but I layed on the table for a good 15 minutes after in tears. So far it's been 2 weeks, heavy flow has slowed to constant spotting and bloated like a blowfish !!  So hoping that things get better so I don't have to do ablation vs hysterectomy. horrible panic attacks :-("


"I have had the WORST luck with birth control over the years and had to completely go off the pill for almost 2 years because of my extreme anxiety I was experiencing. I finally gave lolo a shot and it has been the first pill I've had zero side effects from except some breast tenderness. I would highly recommend this pill for anyone who is extremely sensitive to hormones like myself. I have however been on for over 3 months and have not had a period but have been told this is totally fine and not to worry so kind of an added bonus! Definitely worth a try!"


"I've been on this medication for about two weeks. Since starting, I've had very increased anxiety, a dull headache every day in my temples, and restless sleep/resulting extreme fatigue. The medication has not had any impact on my very moderate acne. I have noticed some water retention/bloating as well. I'm going to finish the month out, but the side effects I've experienced so far are not at all worth continuing to take this. I am so tired on a daily basis that I can barely function, due to the inability to sleep soundly, even when taking a sleep aid."


"I love Taclonex. I have had psoriasis for the past 25 years. I never wore short sleeve shirts or shorts until I started using Taclonex. Thank you to my Dermatologist. I have tried so many medicines and nothing worked. It is kind of greasy but I have been waiting many years for something to finally help my knees and elbows. I couldn't be happier."


"My 3 year old takes it everyday and it works."


"I have been on this medicine now for 3 weeks. 1.2 dosage.  My blood sugar normalized almost immediately. Highest reading has been 137. Before this medicine I had been on 2 types of insulin for 2 years with very poor results.  Blood glucose readings all over the spectrum. A1C also poor at 8-9.
With Victoza I have lost 5 lbs. At first I was a little nauseous. My appetite has decreased. YEAH! The nausea has gone away now and my readings remain very good.
I had lost hope of ever regulating my glucose but now with the Victoza I have hope again. Thanks Victoza."


"During several years of dealing with a psychotic family member in the home, I was on any number of psych meds. Ativan is the only one that works reliably when dealing with a screaming nutcase on a continuing basis. It's smoothing out the rough patches of the divorce now too.

When I am under constant stress, I take 0.5mg 3 times a day.

DO NOT discontinue suddenly. Taper off 0.5mg per day or every other day - You want to taper off over at least 5 days."


"I have used many pain medications and none worked as well as Methadone. I have never been "high" on this medicine and am able to have a productive life. I am on 10mg 4 times a day."


"When I first started taking this pill I was on my period for 19ish days. I’ve always had a small amount of acne, but once I started taytulla it seemed as if I got a new pimple daily. I kept taking this pill for 2 months to see if it would regulate, but the same thing happened in the second month. I had another friend try this pill after I did, and the same thing happened to her. I switched to ortho-tri-cyclen after two months on taytulla and my period is under control as well as my acne. I DO NOT recommend this pill to anyone."


"Clonazepam is helping me"


"I've been using Alesse since April of 2016. It works as a contraceptive and my skin is clear, my moods are in check, my periods are much lighter now and it is also the first contraceptive that I have used. However, I have noticed lately that I'm hungry ALL the time. In fact, food is all that I think about some days which has caused me to gain almost 20lb in the past near-year I've used it. I'm not sure yet if this is due to the pills or if it is due to stress or something else, but otherwise alesse works."


"Prescribed this after recurrent UTI. I am very prone to them and if you are too try to listen to your body and know your triggers. I know it sucks to not be able to drink soda, or having to jump up after sex to pee but it's well worth it in the long run.
Macrobid like sulpha and cipro make me feel uneasy but there's no getting around that but I would rather feel a little uneasy then peeing what feels like fire and sitting on the toilet for hours crying thinking how unfair it is to be born with a short urethra.
I'm shocked how many people would rather have a UTI than the uneasiness of an antibiotic. Not for me. Obviously my symptoms of painful urinating makes it so worth just a little   tummy ache to feel better.
Take with food. Take all reviews with a grain of salt."


"DON'T TAKE IT!!! I was on Invokana for one month.  It made all of my body fluids stink and the really gross part was that, since my saliva smelled the same as my urine, my mouth tasted the way my urine smelled.  Perhaps I could have learned to live with that but it helped not at all so I quit taking it.  Now two, months later, that awful smell and taste is still in my urine and mouth.  I fear something is terribly wrong.  It should be totally out of my system now but it, clearly, is not.  I have made an appointment to see my doctor.  This medication is not okay! DON'T TAKE IT!!!"


"I'm on my 3 am dose as we speak.  I did ok with the first dose.  It did not taste good. I mixed it with crystal light,  that was a mistake.  On the second dose I just used water and sipped ginger ale at the same time but it took me a while to get it down. Worked in about 20 minutes both times.  Took a total of 3 hours the first time.  It's going on 2 hours now I am still waiting for it to subside. Not a bad experience."


"I experienced a lot of breakthrough bleeding with this birth control"


"16, I got this in late July. I wanted it because the effectiveness of it and the fact the hormones are synthetic. I took some kind of medicine in the morning to open my cervix and I was on my period at the time. It was the worst pain I had ever had, like an extreme period cramp for three days. I couldn't sleep at night or eat. I took some Midol that helped my sister when she got hers but nothing I took helped at all. But it only lasted 3 days. I had spotting for the first month and had a normal period with slightly worse cramps, but it was nothing ibuprofen couldn't fix. The strings sometimes stab my partner and we have to stop, but it is effective. He finishes in me pretty much everytime we have sex and I haven't gotten pregnant so far."


"I've been using Loestrin 24 Fe for three months and I'm in love with it. Me and my boyfriend can finally have sex with or without a condom and I don't worry about a thing. My periods are literally only a day, and this pill made my breasts go from a 32B to a 34C and I think it is magic."


"I LOVE MIRENA! I had my Mirena inserted Nov. 18, 2011 and I'm not going to lie, it hurt! I heard it hurts worse if you haven't had any kids, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. It hurt, but it wasn't too terrible. Just a big pinching/burning cramp for about 3 seconds and that was it! I took 800mg of ibuprofen before I went in, so that may have helped. After my Mirena was inserted (I had it inserted the first day of my period), I spotted for a solid month. However, the spotting was so slight it didn't bother me at all. I just used the thinnest panty liner I could find and it worked. Since then, I have had one period (very light spotting for maybe 2 days) and nothing since! I am extremely happy with my decision to go with Mirena!!"


"Overall, this is a great pill. I love that I am not putting nearly as many hormones into my body as other brands. However, there are some side effects that I've experienced.

The first month was miserable for me. I had terrible mood swings as my body adjusted to the hormones. However, after the first month my mood and acne regulated. Like many other people who reviewed here, I did experience periods (almost constant) every other week for the first 4 months on the pill, but my cramps were nonexistent. With each month my period lightened and I haven't had a period (minus spotting) for 2 months now.

Overall, this pill is great, but if you like a regular period to reassure yourself, try a different pill. My advice- wait it out!"


"I've been on Lamictal for 2 years, 400mg a day and I can't say enough positive things about the medication. The only downside was the time it initially took to get to the dosage that my doctor and I found to be effective for me. I would say before I noticed it was working was over 2 months. Which I know seems like an eternity when you're desperate, feeling crazy & at times suicidal, which I was. I haven't had any side effects and I'm so thankful for Lamictal!"


"I got the Mirena 10 weeks after I had my second kid. The insertion was painful for me. I have been spotting and bleeding on and off since I got it in. The day I got it in I was crampy and sore. I have gained a few pounds but I have no proof that is from the Mirena. I will say my sex drive is very high with this and that is a plus for me and my husband. This is so easy no pills, shots, etc. But if the bleeding continues much longer I will probably see bout getting it removed."


"I took this drug awhile back, I was on it for 3 years. I don't recall ever having side effects while initially starting or during taking it over time. This drug seemed to help my depression and anxiety significantly, probably more than I actually realized at the time. Only problem I had was, if I missed a dose I'd be hit with massive emotional distress. Crying over the stupidest things rather it was positive or negative crying. My emotions were intense. After a long time without medicine now, trying to beat depression and anxiety on my own and being somewhat successful for an extended period of time I've been contemplating using it again. I've tried almost all of these meds, and this is the one that's worked for me the most."


"I was terrified to do it but couldn't stand running to the bathroom twice per hour anymore. My injections wereworst case scenario as I owed out the lidocaine. Out of 20 injections I didn't feel 10 at all. The other 10 hurt but it was fast and 48 hours later my life had changed. I highly recommend this but do research on your urologist. How many does he/she do? What's the rate of needing a straight cath post procedure? What's his/her failure rate? Find someone good and then do it of nothing else worked. Life changing!"


"My wife (74) has been taking Namenda since the first diagnosis of Alzheimers two years ago.  She also takes any supplement that promises to help retain or improve memory.  Her memory has stayed about the same or gotten a little worse in that time. She has also taken Aricept during the same period."


"I suffer from severe panic attacks, OCD tendencies, and crippling anxiety. This is the only med that works for me. It's absolutely amazing. I'm severely allergic to antidepressants (anaphylaxis) so this was my only option along with Ativan if needed. Most of the time the propranolol is enough and I don't need anything else. I take 10mg twice a day, when my panic was severe I took 60mg slow release tablets. Absolutely 0 side effects. This drug is a god send for me. CBT therapy helped me cope mentally with my anxiety and the propranolol takes away all my physical symptoms of anxiety. Amazing drug, saved my life... if you have anxiety give it a chance I'm telling you it's so worth it"


"I started taking adipex two weeks ago and lost 8 first week. I haven't lost anything since. I do not have more energy and in fact get tired mid day. I actually can't even tell that I am taking it. I do eat less but that is about it and have dry mouth.

I found a coupon online for Kroger and it only cost me $10.88 for a 1 month supply"


"I could not tell a difference in myself while taking this medication . To me, a major side effect was hair loss."


"My acne became worst within the first 2 weeks of using Differin, then all of a sudden it began to get better.  The improvements must have happened at night because I would get excited in the mornings when I washed my face.  I have to strongly agree with the person who posted before me.  DO NOT GET YOUR EYEBROWS WAXED while using this product. My skin was ripped off and immediately turned red. A day or so later it left this large UGLY scar under my eyebrows. About a week later it peeled and was fine, but who wants to go through that."


"I had major ankle surgery and was prescribed oxycodone. Loved it. It took away the pain with minimal side effects. "


"I started the Depo shot a year ago. Originally, I bled for 3 weeks with a few days off. After my second shot, I bled for 2 weeks and had 2 weeks off of my period. Then once my period started up again, it never stopped. So I've been bleeding since the end of January which makes almost 9 months that I've been bleeding/spotting with not even one day off. There were times when it stopped for a few hours but I guess if it came right back, it never actually stopped. I didn't gain weight, I've struggled with mild depression, anxiety, poor appetite, fatigue, lots of nausea and abdominal pain. My last shot was at the end of March. I'm getting the pill tomorrow to help regulate my hormones. I'm afraid of all birth control now, but I hope this works."


"I smoked 3 packs a day for 38 years and have gone 60 days smoke free thanks to chantix"


"I had copper T before having  Mirena inserted. With the Copper T I had the worst experience of abnormal bleeding, cramping and lower abdominal pain for 3 months.  My gyno advised me to switch to Mirena. After reviewing a lot I decided I should give it a try and it was inserted on 19th Feb 2016, since then a little cramping and bleeding but not heavy.  I'm still waiting at least for a month to see if things works for me.
Anyone can give it a try women bodies are different after all."


"Before I took this medication, I had severe social anxiety. I would often stay silent because of hurting someone's feelings or I was afraid of embarassment. I constantly worried about what people thought of me. It was ruining my life. My doctor started me on Paxil but I couldnt take the physical symptoms. When I started taking Lexapro it felt like a huge weight was taken off of my shoulders. I could be myself again! I usually take it at night because it makes me a little drowsy.
 Months later, I got a job working for a school near me as a bus monitor. I ride the preschool and high school buses to maintain safety and prevent bullying. Without Lexapro, I DEFINITELY would have not been able to be in that position before."


"I have found Opana ER to be a lifesaver for me in that though the pain is not gone, but at least it is tolerable.  What works for me presently is a 30 mg. dose 3x day along with Neurontin.  Taking the Opana 3x day takes care of it possibly wearing off earlier than it should by giving me the medicinal coverage and avoiding the need for breakthrough medications.  I intially was taking 40 mg. 2x day with the Neurontin and between my doctor, pharmacist and me, this protocol works much better and Medicare will cover it.  It was a long, difficult journey to get to this point of reasonable comfort which is governed by activity levels and the weather.  I do not cry so much any more from the pain levels I have from a myriad of medical disabilities."


"I have been on this medicine for thirteen years (since age 17) without issue. Taking this medicine enables me to live my life with only the occasional (rather than inevitable) fainting, dizziness and exhaustion. My doctor tried to switch me to lower doses, but my symptoms immediately kick in and make it difficult to function. Regular doses have made all the difference in my life."


"I have been taking belviq for a day and a half. I feel so dizzy at times. I really hope this goes away. I had a headache but went away with advil. Im hoping and praying that the dizziness will go away with time. On a positive note, not very hungry, fuller faster, literally made myself eat at dinner time because I was scared I would get hungry closer to bedtime and didnt want to eat late."


"I had my thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer. Levothyroxine has been good at keeping my levels up. I feel good."


"I started taking Sertaline last july for panic and anxiety and also for severe pms, it was my last option, and the best decision I could have made, the first few weeks a was very nervous. I woulnt say it increased the anxiety much a was just so scared to take them, I was prescribed 50mg, I decided a would half them so I done that for the first month, so I didn't get any side effect of the meddication,  I am still on them now, and feel I will stop on them alot longer as it been the first time in four year that I been happy and ablw to live a normal life, its totally the right desion, if your prescibed somwthing take it, dont let the anxiety take over, I undestand its scary your first one, but it the only way u will get better.. good luck"


"I had a severe case of cellulitis and was prescribed 325mg of clindamycin. No results."


"Had Nexplanon placed five months postpartum. Immediately after placement, I started having consistent bleeding every day (sometimes moderate, sometimes light, but every day), and my actual periods got closer and closer together (every 3 weeks at first, then every 2). After a few months, I realized that some other problems I've been experiencing can be linked to Nexplanon- anxiety/depression (it's gotten pretty bad), headaches, dizziness, fatigue (I'm more tired every day now than I was in either of my pregnancies), etc. I've been on one course of estrogen already with no improvement. My iron level is low, and overall, I feel completely unhealthy. Getting it removed this week."


"I hate this damn shot. Got my first one in the beginning of March. Had a 7 day period which I normally only last between 3 and 5 days and then dark brown/pinkish spotting for 7 days after. I went 3 weeks with no period and on 4/17 I started spotting again and haven't stopped yet and it 5/9. I'm not getting my next injection which is scheduled for next month at all. I'm letting this medication leave my system and I don't recommend it to anyone. For all of this I'd rather go off and deal with my regular periods and my man and I will be careful. Depo is not a good birth control for anyone."


"Adverse reaction to Levaquin. Extreme numbness and tingling in my fingers and toes, ongoing dry mouth.  First prescribed a few years ago for an infection. After complaining about the numbness I was told to discard them and given another antibiotic.  Went in this time for pneumonia and was given a tablet before I realized this was the same medication I had an adverse reaction to before.  Experiencing the same reaction after only one tablet, it's now 3 days later. "


"I have a herniated disc at C6 and a pinched nerve that shoots pain down my left arm. I started taking Neurontin 300 mg once a day for a week, then two a day the 2nd week, and now 3 a day. I'm a local truck driver, so reading your reviews had me worried. When I started this medicine, my Doc also started me on Robaxin. Everything was okay until the 2nd week. I got the high feeling for about that whole day. Then the third week, same thing. I stopped taking the Robaxin cause it leaves me groggy and unfocused. I have ALMOST no pain in my arm after 3 weeks on Neurontin, even after I stopped taking the Robaxin. This medicine is awesome. I had doubts about its effectiveness until reading your comments. Thank you everyone. It doesn't affect my driving ability after I stopped the Robaxin."


"My doctor prescribed Lo Loestrin Fe to help alleviate the perimenopause symptomps I was experiencing (long, heavy, frequent periods, and bad cramping). After taking it for 3 months, the Lo Lestrin Fe did shorten the length of my period by a couple days, but it did not lighten it at all, I had heavy bleeding mid-cyle (much heavier than spotting), and I still had bad cramping. Additionally, I started having very bad acne (I have not had a pimple in about 30 years so it was alarming that I suddenly had 5-8 large painful cystic pimples on my face at all times during the 3 months I took these pills). I also quickly gained a lot of fat around my waist & abdominal area, gained 4 pounds in 3 months and my weight had been steady for about 5 years."


"I'm a Brazilian boy, 21yrs old and i suffer from mild depression and GAD.

Effexor was the holy grail for my HUGE anxiety, unfortunely it came along with sexual problems.

My doc said Luvox had a lower chance of having these kind of side effects. Its been a month since I switched to it and i felt nothing but a 70% return in my anxiety using half of the maximum daily dosage.

Still cant ejaculate neither have the same libido as i used to."


"Im 14 year old girl & I'm on ortho tri cyclen (which is basically the same thing just cheaper) it's been 2 months & it's been the same.. hasn't gotten any better. I have tiny little pimples on my forehead WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. And more breakouts on my cheeks. But I haven't gave the medication enough time, I'm gonna give it 1-2 more months like people/Doctor are saying & report back.!!

Side note: drink a lot of water, workout, eat healthy, sleep well, and change pillow cases. Don't touch face, stick to a routine, don't put 10000 products on your face, try not to stress, and smile more.

( if you already do all of the above then your acne is hormonal and its out of control like mine.. Which is why I started taking birth control"


"I have been talking doxycycline for 3 days,  it clears up my sinus infection, but I have a really hard time sleeping and it makes me really cranky!!"


"After reading numerous reviews and experiences of Skyla, I wanted to share my own. I was given misoprostol (1/2 tablet) to take at bedtime the night before and the morning of. I was also advised to take ibuprofen prior to the procedure. The process was quick - I was in and out of the exam room in 10 minutes. The actual procedure took less than 2 minutes. I did not experience the pain that other women have mentioned in their reviews. I felt discomfort and pressure, but I would not say it was painful. I believe everyone has a different perception of pain and different pain tolerances, so everyone's' review is going to be different. I did have heavier cramping afterwards for about a day, but overall I am happy with the IUD."


"Just updating my progress with sertraline. It has saved my life. Before this little miraculous pill I was in a downward spiral. I'm a 37.male and always happy till I snapped one day with a panic attack. I upped my dose slowly as every increase will increase anxiety for a few days. Other wise I have had no problems with sex or erections.I can still enjoy a few wines. If you are suffering with panic or anxiety please try this medication and give it at least 3 months to work as no one should have to deal with feeling that way."


"Lots of nausea after moving from 5mg to 10mg. Days and days of headache and nausea, did get a zofran RX and I feel much better! I believe this med is doing a good job at helping with my depression and anxiety. Just came off of Prozac after 10 years and I'm pretty happy with the results of Trintellix so far, 3 weeks in!  Had to work the much hated job at work today - front desk.....easiest day I've had up front in years, I believe due to new Trintellix....very promising!"


"I have been taking this medicine for at least six yrs. Although Percocet works far better for me, this does help take the edge off enough for me to get about a bit. It is also wonderful for coughing. I take 10/325. I also take Soma 350mg, which is for muscle spasms, it works wonders. You might ask your Dr. It helps me tremendously."


"I hadn't had a "satisfying" bowel movement for weeks. Just a little bit here and there. I weight lift and monitor my calories and weight so I knew the constipation was getting serious when my weight was up by at least 5 lbs despite being on a "cutting" diet.

I took miralax over two days (two doses total )- and wow, it really worked. Once I went to the bathroom, it was like a floodgate opened (sorry for the graphic description). But it came out firm yet soft.

I had no painful urgency or side effects, just a natural urge to go.

The only negative side effect I had was painless gas. Lots of it. But totally worth getting back to a regular state.

I'm going to keep taking this for a few more days just to make sure I get back to regularity."


"My experience with Opana was great.  It really gave me back at least 95%. After 3 Failed back surgeries on my disc low back along with both knees which my knee surgeries were helpful. I also broke my back at same time along with my neck injury which I was diagnosed with a extreme strain of my neck. Which my doctor gave me a 50% chance of success so I decided not to have and live with the pain. Although when Purdue pharmaceuticals decided to completely change the formula when making the 40mg Opana my life changed for the worst. I haven't been the same since. Believe me because I have tried every medicine on the market since 1993. "


"I have been smoking since I've been 14 years old.  I'm now 53.in the past I have tried quitting SO many times.  I have a lung disease & my Drs have warned me to quit. My next step will be toting around a oxygen tank with m, .now I'm serious. I first started on the patches which I became allergic to. I've been on chantix for 5 days now & so far I'm doing better with all my withdrawals then I expected.I must quit! chantix will allow me to!"

"I have tried this medication without success. When my cravings became too difficult I would stop taking the medication and plan my drinking for 4 to 5 days later which sometimes wasn't enough time to get the medicines out of my system and became very ill. My recommendation is if you are going to use this medication and you don't trust yourself have someone else administer the pills to you and keep you accountable.

Congratulations to those who have found success on this. I'm trying Campral next."


"I loved this birth control at first. I never had any side effects at all and then when I moved, I had to switch brands because my pharmacy didn't carry it. That brand was fine too but then I ended up moving again and got switched back over to this. Ever since the switch (it's been almost 8 months now), I have felt terrible. I get depressed and moody easily and I have completely lost my sex drive. When I do try to have sex with my boyfriend, it takes an extremely long time to get me aroused and we end up having to use lube every time. It's also made me gain about 10 pounds. Basically the only upside I've had to being on this pill is that I've gone from a B to a D. "


"I've been in chronic pain with chronic fatigue for 30 plus years: fibromyalgia and CFS. This caused many years of depression. Took other SSRI's over the years but was always teetering on the side of depression. Cymbalta did nothing for me except weight gain.  My Dr. gave me a trial pack of Viibryd. When I started the 40 mg, I experienced severe GI upsets....heartburn, growls & grumbling, gas, & nasty taste on my tongue. I also had vividly violent dreams as soon as I fell asleep. I reported these complaints to my Dr. and he lowered my dosage to 20 mg. I still have a little gas and a violent dream every once in a while, but my depression & energy is so much better. I feel like "me" again. I definitely recom-

mend giving Viibryd a try."


"Worked great- doctors tried other medicines or creams for 2 years and after 1 week of taking this it took care of issue and itching as well."


"I smoked for a long time and tried quitting so many times but really did not have much luck on my own. I could tell some tales about trying to quit. My husband bought the patch for me to try and I was really impressed by the fact that I really did not feel the need to smoke a cigarette. That went on for about 17days. I then noticed that my eyes were very red all day so much so that I could see the small vessels in my eyes distended. Then one evening where I put the patch on my upper thigh (was running out of available spots) began itching more than usual. When the patch was removed the spot was swollen and very red and it stung and was painful. My doctor has stopped me from any further use and diagnosed that I may be allergic to the adhesive."


"I've been taking Benzonatate 3x a day for a week with Allegra 1x a day as prescribed and plenty of fluids. It's done absolutely NOTHING for my persistent, dry cough. Despite the Minute Clinic diagnosing allergies (which would be a first and BTW I live on a farm), I suspect I have a cold turned sinus infection because, before I got these symptoms, at least one work colleague, one neighbor, and my husband have had the cough which has, in their cases, come and gone.  So thumbs down on Benzonatate for me."


"About 16 years ago I began having severe vomiting and some abdominal pain with my period. My symptoms were debilitating monthly for 3-5 days and greatly limited my daily activities. I tried over the counter remedies such as Advil, Tylenol, Naproxen and Pamprin none of which did anything to alleviate my symptoms. Then I tried Ponstel. My mother had been taking Ponstel for years for the same problems so we thought it was worth a try. What a difference it made! It took the edge off the pain and totally relieved the vomiting. To be the most effective, it does have to be taken at the onset or just before the onset of symptoms. The only down side to it is that insurance companies don't want to cover it, and it isn't cheap."


"So I had the nexplanon in for 7 months now.Im considering taking it out only because of the bleeding ,fatigue,head fogs,dizziness,depression,weight lost,Low sex drive,Vagina dryness,Vagina odor,Forgetfulness  etc. I went from 129 pounds to 123 pounds in 7 months. The bleeding was crazy for the last 6 months.I use to have a lot of spotting but that stop after the 5th or 4th month.Before using nexplanon my period was 3 days long but from 1st to the 6th months in it became 2 weeks long.Now that i'm 7th months in it has became a week long.I have high tolerance so I don't let most of these side effects bother me so that is probably why I haven't taken the nexplanon out.I'm scared to try an other birthcontrol methods."


"I was prescribed 10 mg a day for anxiety/panic attacks. I'd never taken any sort of SSRI before. I took one pill and it scared me, I threw up several hours later and had the worst panic attack of my life. But I don't know if that was me, or the pill. So two weeks later, I chopped it in half and have taken 5mg everyday for the past 6 months. It has completely turned down the volume of anxiety and paranoia. I may never be able to go off of it. I have not had weight gain, anorgasmia, or decreased sex drive. I love it. I can live my life, it has taken that fog surrounding everything away. If you are super sensitive to medications like me, I encourage you to start with the lowest dose possible."


"I am 50ish and have had 'issues' since 20ish and never written a review. Diagnosis is 'bi-polar II' (not sure I agree) but, I also have sleep apnea, hypothyroid & seem to have ADD (only H is my non-stop brain).  I have taken Wellbutrin, Prozac, geodon, abilify, seroquel, lamictal, cymbalta, zyprexa, lithium & others all at ridiculously high clinical doses - stopped each one cold turkey w/o issue. Lamictal worked a little at a point - Latuda (80mg) is the ONLY drug that has given me hope of feeling normal (along with ADD & thyroid). Working on the c-pap and hoping Latuda keeps working.  This brain stuff is a lot of guessing & @ 30 yrs in, I was about to give up on ever feeling ok again - this is awesome!  I remember being me & love it ; )"


"I was on Yaz for a year trying to let my body get used to it. It made me depressed and made my PMS even worse accompanied with headaches. It made my period irregular (twice a month and heavy). It did help my acne, I'll give it credit for that but on it I gained about 20 pounds and it's been really hard to take that weight off."


"Severe back pain while sleeping started over a year ago... Assumed it was work related, so I started looking for a new job. Then the foot/ankle pain and joint swelling came. I was in terrible pain and could barely walk around at my new job. Finally after seeing seeing my pcp multiple times, I went to ortho. She referred my to a rheumatologist. I thought I was a healthy 30+ year old, but after 6 months of blood tests, X-Ray's  mri's and multiple follow ups... I now have the official diagnosis. I noticed an immediate difference as soon as I took Humira. I have had 3 doses And symptoms are gone... Although my feet get sore just as I'm due for the next treatment. I'm worried about the long term side effects, but for now just happy without pain."


"I have had for forty years and have primarily used exercise to combat damage to knee.  It has gotten worse over that past year as I approach 60.  I was offered different treatments because this one had least amount of side effects. I was very impressed the relief to pain and the general feeling in the joint.  I am sold and plan to monitor how long the relief lasts.  For now I would recommend it to my friends."


"I had a sudden violent cough that has lasted over a month. I have seen 5 different doctors, 3 sets of chest x-rays, CT Scan, 3 rounds of antibiotics, 4 different cough medicines, Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and 2 trips to the ER once was from coughing so hard I popped a rib out of place. I also have an appointment with a specialist. So far No One has been able to tell me what is causing the cough hopefully the specialist will be able to come up with an answer. The ONLY thing that would give me any relief from the cough was Tylenol 3 with Codeine. I have to take it every 4-5 hours and in my line of work I am not allowed to work taking 120-150 mg of codeine so I am currently on medical leave until I can see the specialist."


"I took latuda with Lithum and ended up in the hospital for 2 months. I don't know if it was the mixture but I was doing all right on Lithum. When I Started Latuda I started to fell funny not myself. When I was in the hospital I lost movement in my body and I was going down hill fast. After about 4 weeks  I started going the other way but I needed physical and occupational therapy to walk and move my arms plus my breathing was no good. This was the end on December and here it is June and still going though therapy. Not a good experience with Latuda."


"I had sex on July 5 and I was out of town I came back home on the 7 and I took next choice that day I started to feel sick like if I was having my period but I didn't, by July 25th  I did apply pregnancy test and it came back positive.  When I was 18-20 week's I had a ultrasound and the baby was smaller than it has to be by week 23 the doctor found out that the placenta wasn't working like it suppose to, by week 30  I deliver my baby by a c-section and he  passed away 30min later :("


Acetaminophen / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

"Why oh why is this off the market? This is the only medicine that will completely cure my migraine and not have any side effects."


"Did absolutely nothing except give me diarrhea"


"I've been on this medicine for 3 days and my blood pressure has dropped from 180/110 to 112/79. The side effects for me are watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose."


"Hi. Mother of 5 at 24 and was not planning on having any more kids, so I got the Implanon put in before I got discharged from hospital after the birth of my 5th child. Its only been 3 months and I have gained 4 kilos. Can't seem to manage my appetite and I'm always moody. To top it all off I bleed constantly. I get my period twice in one month. Definitely going to get it removed."


"I want to share my experience from being on Ortho Evra. I have only been on the patch for a month and this is my week off of the patch. I got to say being on the patch has been the best experience I've had on birth control. Before this I was on 2 different kinds of birth control pills. First one I wasn't even on it for a month I was always sick, the second one was little better but after a year it made me sick. So I started Ortho Evra and the only bad side effect has been that my Breast are a little sore. But they also seem fuller which is great. I love knowing when I'm going to get my period since I was never reg before. I got it on time now and that's great. I also love the fact that I only have to change it once a week."


"Benadryl knocks all my symptoms out, the only problem is it can knock me out too but when nothing else works, Benadryl will do it. It's cheap, effective and available in every store."


"Cymbalta has been the single most helpful medication I have used for depression. It has enabled me to return to work and my clarity of mind has much improved.  My physical pain has also been tremendously reduced and no longer takes all my energy.  Thank you Cymbalta - You really have saved my life."


"Remeron is a unique medicine, since its side effects are sometimes as useful as its antidepressant effects.  This medicine literally saved my life.  For many years, I was around 90 pounds, and never slept.  Now, I'm a healthy 120 and I sleep about 8 or 9 hours per night.  It did take a long time to get to this point.  When I first started taking it, I was tired all the time and very worried about the ravenous hunger!  But now that I've been on it 2 years, I no longer gain weight, I'm no longer tearful and miserable, and I've honestly never been happier.  God bless the people who made this drug. It literally saved my life."


"I recently began taking Adderall 15mg.  In terms of mood, I have become less anxious on Adderall.   Some people note increased aggression- I feel that I am capable of being more (verbally) aggressive because there is less anxiety to dampen the desire for confrontation.  However, I feel more capable of choosing whether or not to pursue confrontation. The other day at the bank, I calmly voiced my discontent over erroneous charges the bank made to my account (for the 3rd time!).  When the employee became a bit agitated, I decided to end the conversation rather than escalate the argument.  I was satisfied with my performance- I said my piece, got the closet thing to an apology I was going to get, and got out.   Adderall seems to make this easier- I don't feel as rev'd up as I would otherwise.  Our stress reactions to everyday situations like these are often way out of proportion to the stakes and Adderall seems to dampen down the reaction to something more appropriate.  It's a brave new world!"


"I am 30yrs old. I started getting headache's when I was about 11 yrs old. This is the only medicine I've found that will help my headaches."


"Well I not pregnant but this pill has killed my sex drive. I had no prior problems with being "turned on" now there's nothing and sex  is just painful now. Also pretty sure it's the reason I've been having constant yeast infections for months now."


"I am 44 yrs. old and had to get an emergency refill at pharmacy in New Orleans. I received this brand and within a week I felt the effects. Acne was the first to come. Then the bloating and feeling excessively heavy. Worst was I became very sensitive to odors. I smelled everything very intensely. This birth control is not beneficial to women. I was happy to finally complete the pack!"


"I am 18 years old and I've been on the since I was 15, two months before my sixteenth birthday. I have done loads of research on this shot and after taking it this long  and reading everyone's complaints, I have reached a final conclusion that this shot has deteriorated my health tremendously. I have always had problems with feeling depressed but ever since I got on this shot I've been feeling so horribly suicidal and anxious, my mood has been affected so badly too. I am always stressed or not really sure about what or how I feel. I have really bad abdominal pain, and not to mention the worse headaches and dizziness of my life. I am constantly dizzy and fatigued and i gained lots of weight. It prevents pregnancy yes, but not worth it."


"I'm 17 and I just had my first yeast infection. I think I had it for a couple weeks and the itching just kept getting worse and worse. I did some research and decided to get Monostat 1. I thought it would be so much easier and just pop it in and everything would be better. I was SO SO wrong. After watching a soccer game with my friends I picked it up at the pharmacy and went home and put it in and used the wipes and cream that came with it too. After a couple hours, I got a HORRIBLE burning sensation and was crying on the phone to my boyfriend about it. I tried using more of the cream and put some aloe on it and nothing worked. While in pain I looked at some of the reviews and saw that the dose is TOO STRONG and just makes it worse. Use the 3 or 7."


"Taken with Sovaldi I took for 3 months. My viral load is 0! It does a wonderful job.

 But too late for me. Because of Hep C. My liver is just about done!

Too slow finding a drug! Like all drugs.They drag their feet and people die!"


"It certainly keeps it from being worse but still doesn't nip it totally in the bud no matter how soon you take it.  I'm grateful this last bout didn't end up on the skin, but even though I took it within minutes of feeling just the tingling, it still sprouted. Could have been worse I guess. I am thankful I had it in stock."


"My 2nd night with Xyrem was last night. I was not expecting an overnight miracle, but I was thinking it would have been different. No side effects. Tired, but hopeful for these next couple weeks."


"I give Vivarin a seven for an OTC medication. I don't sleep well at all at night and I usually average 3-4 hours. I stay in pain so when my alarm goes off in the morning, it is much easier to put a tablet in my mouth along with my pain medication and reset the alarm for one hour later. When it goes off I feel much better for it has helped awaken me and the methadone had started to work for the pain. It doesn't upset my stomach as much as the No Doz. Then later if I want a cup of coffee and I have time to drink it I can but usually I don't have the time and I have to pop another Vivarin to keep me going."


"I have had constipation for one year. My Dr. had me try all the usual, after having a colonoscopy. High-fibre diet did not help. Had a CT of abdomen and pelvis, with no problems. Also had a gall bladder scan.
The first 2 days on Linzess were awful: cramps, bloating, nausea, and unexpected diarrhea. It took about 10 days for me to acclimate. My gastroenterologist tweaked the dose to take the capsule after breakfast. Then, after another adjustment (taking the capsule every other day), everything is fine. Routinely, I do not plan to be away from a bathroom for 2 hours after taking a capsule."


"I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 5 days before I was supposed to get my period. I went to go buy emergency contraception after 48 hours. Some symptoms I experienced were breast pains or tenderness, tiredness, and I did break out. Don't worry I was paranoid too since I took it after 48 hours. I was researching all day if this pill does work. Well it did for me. I did get my period 8 days late. But, I got it."


"Works exactly as you describe. Great nasal and cough mucas relief.  No side effects when used as one tablet per 12 hours."


"I've been prescribed different meds for the chronic arthritis pain in my neck and only Vicodin helps with pain and it allows me to sleep comfortably at night and get through my days at work. I use only the prescribed amount at it works wonders for me."


"I was on Loryna for two months. I'm was a pretty mellow person before that I got the occasional mood swing that gave me whip lash and frequent hot flashes (which don't happen to a lot of people). Plus I was very dry in sex. Overall it was okay. I'm a happy camper when there's no cramps. Then started Gianvi a month ago.  NO MOOD SWINGS or hot flashes. And no dryness. The only down side is every once in a while I lose me appetite. This works for me."


"The generic for this med didn't work at all, however the name brand (for some reason) is amazing! It has changed my life after so many other meds have failed. I am able to study, take notes, and remember what I've read now. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is because I am having some issues with insomnia. I'm sure that is related to the timing and strength of my last dose of the day however, and will adjusted. It can be expensive, however after trying everything else and nothing else working, I would rather pay for this than deal with awful symptoms all day."


"I decided to take dulcolax last night because I have been constipated for about a week and a half. I thought my constpation was going to better in time; however, it did not. When I did go, my stool looked like small angular black pebbles.

I took this medication around 7:30 pm. Then the pain started at 3:12 am in the morning. I have never felt such a pain in my life. I feel like I'm being stabbed in the stomach. I can hear the gas in my bowels shredding through my stomach. I am sweating and nauseous. I don't even know what to do. I thought sitting on the toilet would help. It is now 3:58 am in my dulcolax journey. I wish I took something else, correction ANYTHING ELSE before I tried dulcolax. The pain just keeps getting worse! AVOID!"


"I am a 38 year old mother of a 3 year old son.  I've been an addict since I was about 12...went from pot to occasional alcohol and coke to heroin addiction.  I managed to still graduate college...then I lost all control after being diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia as well as chronic pain from back surgery due to a herniated disc.   I convinced myself I needed the fentanyl patches, the Vicodins, and finally the heroin too to deal with my pain.  Problem was, I was still numb on the inside.  I have been on Suboxone for almost 2 weeks and already I feel 100% normal again.  I go to meetings too, but I can tolerate the "aches" that the Suboxone doesn't get rid of, since it has saved my sanity.  Wish they had this 15 years ago!"


"I began the first prep at 6pm.  I mixed it with ice cold water and lemon Crystal Light.  Not too bad.  I finished the first prep within the allotted one hour.  The worst part was cramping, bloating and chills.  Everything that came out was solid waste.  I began the second prep at 2am.  This one took almost three hours to finish (drained).  But everything that came out was mostly water-based.  Also, no cramping, bloating or chills.  The colonoscopy was a total breeze.  My gastro called me a lovely patient.  The key I believe is to have as little undigested food in your GI tract as possible prior to the prep, which is where fasting for at least one day comes into play. (Worked for me)"


"I have moderate acne on my face, chest, and back. My dermatologist recommended this. It definitely cleared up my face but my chest, back, neck, and shoulders are twice as bad than before. I decided it wasn't worth it and just stuck to the creams I have been prescribed."


"I was put on 45mg of this drug a couple of weeks ago and all is going well. I was given Norco 10/325 to help with the breakthrough pain. The morphine combined with Norco are hard for me to take together. I am taking 15mg every 8 hours, and it seems to be doing the job.  There are times I feel fine when the 8 hours is up but it says not to miss a dose."


"This childproof cap is not operable, I followed your instructions and wound up cutting the dam cap off. The good news for you is a child won't ingest your product and you won't get sued. The bad news is a pissed off adult might cut their hand with a knife and switch products. Good job product safety !!!"


"Works very well.  Some slight scarring."


"I was prescribed this medication for bronchitis and it is hands down the most terrible medication I have ever taken. Within an hour of taking the first dose, I had nausea and vomiting so bad that I ended up in the emergency room and even after receiving fluids and IV Phenergan I was still dry heaving. Never again!"


"Ladies, first and foremost stop freaking out. I too was panicking like crazy until I got on here and read most of these reviews. So I had unprotected sex late one night during the time I should be ovulating. I took the pill about 55 hours after the fact and didn't experience any side effects except my face breaking out bad from the huge dosage of hormones and received my period a week later (one week earlier than I normally would've gotten it). I've never been so happy to get my period. Just take it within the 72 hours and don't stress, let it do its thing."
