"I hadn't had a period in 3 months. My doctor prescribed me Provera 10 mg once a day for 10 days. She stated if I get my period in those 10 days to stop taking the pill at that time. Today was day 7 and my period came. I had no side effects from this medication. I had normal cramps at the onset of my period this morning. It seems to be a normal beginning flow as with any other time I had my period. I will report back to let everyone know how long it lasted."


"My mum has been on Donepezil for 2 years. Over the past 6 months her appetite had deteriorated, she's losing weight, getting aggressive and she was falling a lot. I have recently discovered she wasn't taking her pills and hiding them in her gums and pretending to swallow, then when I moved away she was taking them out of her mouth and putting them in the bin. She's 82. I have changed the routine of night time meds to morning as this seems easier. Without this pill, 10mg a day, she deteriorates badly. There is a massive difference in her vocabulary and attitude more than anything else. For those bad comments talking about the drug when it hasn't been taken for at least 12 weeks, please ignore. This needs to be given time to work."


"I highly encourage anyone struggling with acne to ask their dermatologist about accutane. I've struggled with mild but persistent acne for years. I was placed on an antibiotic for almost two years after trying topical treatments. This antibiotic worked for me for a few months but I still had breakouts. I have just finished my 6 month round of accutane. I am honestly in love with this drug. My skin is flawless and I am happier with it then I have ever been. The only side effect I had to deal with was dry lips which wasn't bad. My skin never felt dry, it actually feels softer."


"I switched to Yaz after having break through bleeding on seasonale for two years.  I loved it at first.  Shorter periods, and PMDD relief.  Some months I didn't even realize my period was coming/starting I was so free of symptoms.  A little over two years on it though, I slowly started getting mood swings back.  I sometimes cry for days at a time with absolutely no reason at all.  I have had symptoms of depression, which is COMPLETELY out of character for me, and overall, I just don't feel like myself anymore.  My doctor switched me to loestrin Fe...which i start tomorrow, so hoepfully that takes care of it!"


"I initially started on Antabuse when I realized I could not stop on my own. My fear of side effects from drinking on it was sealed after I purposely had a half glass of alcohol while taking it. You develop a funny taste in your mouth, flushing and heart racing. I think effects are worse the longer you've been taking it and how much you drink if you decide to drink around the time you took it.

When I was ready to discontinue the drug, I read you had to wait one week. At that point I had been taking about 250mg per day for a couple of months. When two weeks was up, I had a glass of wine. I had a reaction, it wasn't severe, but I had the hot flushing, racing heart, and yucky stomach feeling. So for me, the drug was still in my system."


"Definitely relieves my headache."


"Caused severe allergic reaction when I had never had a reaction to any medication before. Had to be hospitalized. Doctor said he has been seeing more and more allergic reactions to Cipro."


"Great and helps pay attention but if you take a high dose (30mg or more) it can give really severe headaches. Drinking caffeinated drinks may help reduce it."


"For the last 2 years I have suffered massive panic and anxiety attacks. I thought my world as I knew it was over.
Thanks to Cymbalta everything is almost back to normal and I am feeling myself again. I started taking it 2 months ago, the first 2 weeks I had a bit of nausea but now its gone. No other side effects."


"I've titrated from 5mgs to 10mgs over a month. I'm still on Seroquel and Rivotril. The Brintillex definitely causes tummy issues, between nausea and severe indigestion/heartburn which exacerbates my asthma. So I'm trying different times to take it. The one suggestion is to take it with your biggest meal. And as someone has said earlier it seems that certain foods do make the nausea worse."


"Completely numbed me, gave me horrible panic attacks. Even when I'd gotten used to the medication my panic attacks turned into a deep depression and felt completely lifeless. 5 weeks in I couldn't do it anymore"


"I took only a small amount, like 1/4 of a pill and within 15 minutes I was asleep. I did this for 3 nights, well this morning I woke up feeling fine. After a while I felt dizzy and was dizzy all day, felt horrible, chest was tight and I have asthma. So if you have asthma be careful, also gave me anxiety. My husband takes this and he does fine. "


"I had my Nexplanon implanted about two years ago. Implant was practically painless. My arm was very sore for two days after implant but I figure it's less painful then giving birth. I have had NO PERIODS since day of implant, no arm pain, cramps, weight loss/gain, or mood swings! I'm scheduled to have a new Nexplanon in 2015."


"Great medicine but where is it? Can't find in grocery stores or drugstores."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about a month now. I just finished the first month now going onto the second.  It hasn't so much helped my period length yet, but it did take away the feeling of cramps which was nice.  My gyno said it could take up to 3 months for you to get your full effect.  So during this past month while on Loestrin 24 Fe my period was still 12 days, but I have hope for that to change in the next month.  Loestrin is responding a lot better to my body than YAZ did.  "


"I had Skyla inserted in early January.  The insertion was bothersome. I had Paragard years ago and I didn't feel anything when I had the Paragard inserted. I thought I would have the same experience with Skyla but I didn't. The insertion was a bit painful and bothersome.  I had a mild cramp after I was done with the insertion but that went away within hours.  I like that I stopped having periods about six weeks ago but I don't like that I'm bloated and my hands get swollen from time to time.  I want to conceive again within a year so I'll schedule a removal for around November of this year."


"This medication was seriously a life saver.  I was diagnosed the day after I started showing symptoms and took it pretty much after I left the pharmacy.  I went from a 102 fever to normal within six hours.  It'd day three and I still have a bit of a cough, but I don't feel nearly as wretched as I have the past couple of days.  The only complaint I would have is it makes me dizzy if I stand up for too long at a time."


"I was diagnosed with a UTI yesterday afternoon. I took my 1st dose of Nitrofurantoin 100mg twice a day for 10 days this morning at 9 a.m with toast and water. By 11 a.m. I felt really nauseous and dizzy then by 12 I was doubled over in pain from cramping in my belly and pain in my back. I finally am able to eat again at 6:30 p.m. but now I'm terrified to take a second dose at 9 tonight. Its obviously working because my UTI symptoms are gone but I feel like crap just after 1 ."


"I don't like medication in general but this one got me thru work ,divorced single parent of 2 children. No side affects, very qualified professional work. Then I became wheelchair disabled on the job, I was ripped off by family of 96,000 dollars during a 2yr hospitalization. With corticosteroids I resumed the 5mg valium which helped.  For me I only need 1 a day although prescribed 4, so they last me 6 mos to a year. IM LUCKY for I don't like to feel dopey just normal. If I've gotten into an insomnia state for a stressful situation with my autoimmune condition is the only time I'd taken 2 to sleep if tylenol pm didn't work. "


"I have used the generic clonazepam for about 6 month now...it's been the most effective anti-anxiety medication I have ever taken. Having had anxiety problems all my life. It's nice to live normally again. It also takes away some pelvic pain I've experienced due to sitting at my job for over 30 years under stress.  And it's a great sleep aid. I suffered from insomnia for years. This drug has proven itself to me. If I have to take it for the rest of my life so be it."


"Im 22, no kids.  I chose the paragard because it is hormone free.  I was told it would be painful, so of course i expect the worst.  Its not that bad. Now, don't get me wrong.  It hurts. Dont make any plans for the rest of the night. I suggest a movie night with lots of cold ice cream. After the first few days you don't even feel it. It's great."


"does not work and company doesn't stand behind the product"


"It's a cliche but this drug has transformed my life. I'd struggled with ED for years as my ability to achieve and maintain an erection diminished. This had become a real obstacle in our marriage since my wife assumed that I didn't care for her anymore (not true). I'd tried the higher strength "as required" pills but found that they spoiled the moment - planning to have sex and hour in advance isn't good - and the side effects were not good. I take Cialis 5mg once a day. For the first time in years (I know realise) I often have morning wood and can have sex whenever the mood takes us. It's big and hard and doesn't soften at awkward moments. I feel 20 years younger. No side effects. Brilliant!"


"I've just started on the 7.5 XR 7 days ago after 2 weeks of the trial dosage. Thankfully no side effects but also no weight loss at all. I feel as though I'm eating less and not quite as hungry as usual and I have started walking 2 1/2-3 miles 6 days a week so I'm really puzzled why no weight loss.
I am hoping I'm just off to a slow start and will keep doing what I'm doing and try to cut out my carbs a little better.

I will update at the end of my month but any thoughts or suggestions will be welcomed!"


"The key to using Alli is that you must list everything you eat and not exceed the amount of fat per meal.  I haven't experienced any side effects and am extremely pleased.  I lost 10 pounds before starting the program and hit a plateau, but since using Alli, I've lost 27 more with only 13 pounds to go.  When I reach my ideal weight, I'm going to continue the tracking, eventually weaning myself off of Alli, to be able to maintain my weight.  I don't expect a quick transition, but love the results.  I recommend trying it, but be diligent to follow the instructions for good results."


"When I began the NuvaRing in 2007 or early 2008 I absolutely loved it because I didn't have to take a pill everyday and taking the birth control pill made me nauseous and I gained a lot of weight. With NuvaRing I gained no weight at all the first time around. I never really noticed but I had no sex drive. My boyfriend and I have been together since 2007 and we have had a lot of issues due to our sex life, but once getting off birth control and then beginning again I've realized it is not me or him it's the birth control. The NuvaRing was convenient and you can hardly feel it and neither can your partner most of the time. It can fall out during sex, and my cramps were awful. I also cried randomly about 2 weeks prior to my period."


"It actually works!  I have had sleep issues for years-the prescription meds do nothing for me.  The Klonopin I was taking to help me fall asleep stopped working so I tried Unisom Sleep Tabs and it took about 30-45 mins to kick in but I was able to fall asleep and STAY asleep.  It's the first time in a long time that I slept through the night. I was groggy when I got up, but a shower and some coffee woke me right up."


"I started this medication two and a half months ago. My regular doctor refused to prescribe anything and my weight continued to climb. I have no excuses. I was completely out of control eating out all the time and eating for no reason other than boredom. I decided to go to a weight loss clinic. I checked in at 217 pounds, 5'7" and 40 year old female. They gave me generic phentermine and I get the Lipo b12 shots weekly. First month down 14 pounds. Second month down 9 pounds. Pretty sure the third month will be higher as I just started my period on the second weigh in and was typically bloated. Dry mouth is the only persistent side effect for me. I drink a lot of water and chew lots of gum. My appetite is nearly non existent and I feel great."


"I started taking Adipex on 3/6/2012 and today it 3/27/2012 I weighed in at 188lbs and now I'm 178lbs. I used to crave bread late at night that would wake me up out of my sleep but after taking this medication I haven't even had a craving. I work out at least 5x a week mainly cardio and light weights. So far I'm happy with the medication with the only side effect is dry mouth so I drink more water. My goal weight is 127lbs so I will see how it goes. It gives me lots of energy and if I don't take it I still don't feel hungry for at least 2 days. "


"In the beginning, I felt no Difference. After two weeks Or 10 days, I felt the medication working, it help me relax , fall asleep, anxiety And anxious."


"I am/was taking this medicine to combat nausea from post chemo treatments and I found that it did give me a headache and I could not stand the taste it left in my mouth when the medicine disintegrated on my tongue. "


"I immediately began bleeding from my rectum after  taking this medication. It was painful and I had to be rushed to the emergency room. I don't recommend anyone taking this medication."


"I took Adipex 4 years ago and lost about 30 lbs. I just started taking it again. I am getting married in October and need to lose 30 lbs. Today is day 4 and I have lost 3 lbs. I do have some side effects, dry mouth, which is good because I drink lots of water. Headaches, which I just learn to deal with because the weight lost is more important and sometimes I get a nervous feeling. I would recommend this drug if someone needs to lose weight."


"My only problem is that of I ever miss my pill just by 1 day I automatically get a normal 4 day period the next day even if I take a double dose, and once again get my period every 16th of the month.

 "


"I recently switched from Junel Fe 1/20 to this birth control (free sample from Gyno) and I'm switching back to Junel Fe 1/20 ASAP. Lo Loestrin Fe has caused me to gain about 10-15 lbs and I've only been on it a month. I constantly feel bloated, hungry, and my breasts felt huge. I have also started losing my hair because of this birth control. It caused me to have horrible mood swings...it was like I was PMSing the entire month I was on it. Please stay clear of this birth control."


"I took Cymbalta for anxiety and depression. Over the years, I took anywhere from 30-120 mg. I think around 60 mg was most effective with fewest side effects, but I still experienced tons of anxiety while on it. At 120 mg, I had bizarre psychomotor symptoms - for example, in order to fall asleep, I had to rock back and forth. The same day that I decreased from 60 mg to 30 mg, I noticed the return of an OCD-style facial tic I hadn't had since middle school (I'm 25). Side effects included drastically increased sweating, "brain zap" headaches, and difficulty finding the right words (which may be permanent, as I've been off Cymbalta for 3 weeks and continue to experience it)."


"Well it changed my life. I was only 43 and everything was on a down hill, the hot flushes and mood swings unbearable. but two weeks into using Angeliq hot flushes were gone, I was full of energy, 4 kilos lighter not sure if it is Angeliq but I have been taking it for three years and I'm happy. All vaginal problems and water infections, which is down to menopause, gone totally."


"I was recently prescribed MS Contin for chronic pain from two failed shoulder surgeries and awaiting a third surgery.  I had been taking Percocet for three years but it had become ineffective.  This medication is really  a wonderful solution.  I am relatively pain-free now.  It does take an hour or more for it to take effect even on an empty stomach.  I have had no side effects. It is more expensive but since it so effective I don't mind that.  I am a retired PA-C and understand chronic pain and pharmacology so I say thanks to drugs.com for the free access to all you need to know about your medications whether you are a practitioner or patient."


"I have been taking Pristiq for 3 days now.  Some side effects I've had are dry mouth, dilated pupils, trouble sleeping (going to start taking it early morning now) and sweating during the night-time.  I just spoke to my Doctor who said to cut my 50 mg dose pills in half and start taking half in the morning to see if the side effects subside.  The good things are:  I have energy, no more food cravings, no more crying episodes and I  feel more at ease during stressful moments."


"I've used HypoTears for many, many years, always with strong approval by optometrists and my now-retired ophthalmologist. I'm crushed to learn that it is no long available. I have long counted on it for my eye comfort, and now I have to find something else that I like."


"My doctor switched me from Lipitor to Crestor because I was getting incredible leg pain and joint swelling.  The Crestor has performed equally as well without any of the uncomfortable side effects."


"My pain management doctor prescribed this for hip bursitis.  I have not experienced any pain relief from it at all. I’ve been using this topical gel for several months and it was only until approximately four months later I associated itching all over my body after I use the gel.   I thought it was my imagination but I have tested it out several times, I am not itchy In the area that I apply the gel, but it must get into your bloodstream and I have several areas of my body that start itching at the same time. So in addition to not feeling any pain relief, I am reacting with all over body itching. I will now we put this back to my doctor, And hope to find pain relief for my hip."


"I was diagnosed with chronic insomnia when I was 13, currently I'm 19 years old. I've been prescribed a great many things to help get me to sleep and, more importantly, stay asleep. Since I want to keep this short I'll just say that ambien is the only one that's worked efficiently for an extended period of time. It helps you relax, if you're an anxious person like me, and surprisingly enough I don't even wake up during the nights like I used to. Suppose I've finally gotten used to the drug or actually getting a good night's rest, considering my sleep problems had been around since I was around 8.

Anyway, works great. My does is currently 20 mg, every night. Probably going to get lowered to 10mg some time soon."


"MY VAGINA FEELS LIKE IT IS ON FIRE! I can't move and I'm having HORRIBLE burning and itching. There has to be a better product then this. I would not recommend to anyone."


"I have been using Victoza to control my type 2 diabetes and it has been great. I have been using it for 9 months and I have lost 26 lbs. The only problem I have encountered has been hive like welts at the injection site. This did not occur the first time I began using Victoza but my insurance company refused to pay for the it until I tried a pill. I tried Metformin and it was a disaster. I suffered many side effects and my blood sugars jumped up to around 220. I was put back on the Victoza and since I began injecting the second time, I began getting the welt like hives right away. Now they only come every so often but I have experienced nothing but positive results from Victoza."


"My son is now 13, and has been using Concerta the past 2 years. Was working great, went from doing homework until 12-1:00 am to finished before I got home from work.  Concentrated more and was overall happier with himself and his achievements. Around November he had started having trouble sleeping and eating and was acting different. I guess since he turned 13 and puberty is starting to set in it wasn't working for him anymore so we are changing medications. I do recommend this medicine though, while it worked, it was great."


"I am on day 6 of this medicine today. So far I have had the headache, more frequent bowel movements, and yesterday I developed pain in my left arm at my joints for shoulder and elbow and fingers as well."


"I applied it about 15 minutes ago and this itch and burning I driving me insane.. I keep squeezing my legs together and moving like I need to pee (but I dont) .. even tho this itching and burning is horrible I've used this medicine in the past and thank God it does cure the infection. If only there was no burning or itching I would give it a 10 for sure.. I thought I was allergic at first but I'm glad to know I'm not alone.. hopefully I get some decent sleep tonite"


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


"I'm twenty years old and I've been on this birth control for over two years and have never had a problem with it. I've always had irregular periods and when I did have them I was in immense pain, but since I've been on the Depo shot I haven't had any spotting or a period and it's wonderful. First week or so I had mood swings but that was all. A+ in my book! Also, I haven't had any bone density issues."


"be sure you want to take this. I was pressured into taking it by someone. I only nibbled a bit of it, but I'm sure it's working - feel sick, tired, sleepy. I regret it. follow your heart. :-/"


"I've been bleeding for about 12 days prior to this I didn't have a period. Today is my second day and I've noticed the bleeding is a lot less. I just want the bleeding to stop its literally driving me crazy not to mention playing havoc with my sex life."


"NEVER EVER take these. I took the reccomend dose of 3 before I went to bed around 10:30 p.m about 1 a.m. I started having severe stomach stomach pain and nausea. I had to get a trash can the nausea was that bad. I laid in bed doubled over in pain for about an hour and then thankfully was able to nod off to be rudely awakend to horrific stomach cramps almost as bad as giving birth to my having contractions. It's was like 4:30 a.m. . I had horrible diarhea. I went back to bed and five minutes later I had to jump up to go again. Then again and again and again. Here it is about 5:30 a.m. and I'm on my bathroom floor sweating feeling like I'm dying. I almost considered going to the ER the side effects are that bad. If you don't want to feel like you're dying then please save yourself and do not take these and suffer. These are horrible. I can't believe these are over the counter."


"I was reading some of the reviews on how well Suboxone works on Opiate withdrawal. The one person had only been on it for three days, 8mg a day. I as well went that route over 6 years ago. While Suboxone is a life saver while trying to kick narcotics. The Suboxone also comes with a price! If you are only on it for a short time, meaning a month or so. You should do well. What always brought me back to the narcotics, after the Sub's was the depression. I would become so depressed, I had considered suicide. If it comes down to staying on Suboxone or pills, even Heroin. Stay on the Suboxone! They even have a better drug out there now. Its called Butrans, it comes in patch form only, it comes in 5mg, 10mg and 25mg patches."


"O M G   Where has this drug been my whole life?    I have only been on it for little over a week and already I am feeling "more than functional"!   So functional in fact that I am re-enrolling into school and getting my drivers license back. I feel like there's hope for me and i do in fact have a future, and people who love me.

like i said, i've only been on it for over a week.  I hope this keeps rolling the way it is now!

but definitely 10/10

Other drugs I have tried that were NOT helpful:   zoloft, escotalopram, effexor.  Not saying you should disregard them though. i'm supposing that different drugs help different people for different reasons. *shrug"


"After almost being scared away from this IUD, I realize that each individual was in different age groups and may or may have not had children. I am a 45, 4 kids last one is 2.  I cannot take regular birth control as it is a depressant for me. After reading several blogs, reviews and Facebook.  I almost cancelled.  My final research from a natural doctor explained a lot. So I suggest that you find a naturalist and read articles based on their finding about this specific IUD. My appointment was done with my doctor and a sonogram technician she was able to implant the IUD while fully being able to see inside of cervix I had mild cramping and went home and had a mild. There have been no side effects I couldn't be happier highly suggest 10yr 99% guarantee. No your body and what you do to it you should be fully satisfied!"


"It caused colitis when taking his medication. My doctor wanted me to take it for 1 year, but I plan to stop taking it."


"It's been over a year now that I've been on Zoloft. I take 200 mg a day and I still

cannot believe how much my life has changed/improved!! I am 36 years old and had been suffering from severe  panic attacks, anxiety, and agoraphobia for almost 15 years...it was a complete challenge to get to work and even imagine a day without the feeling of anxiety from literally the time I woke up until I went to bed.. .I wasn't enjoying life at all, I was just existing. I had absolutely no control of my own conscious!! I finally decided that I had to try a prescription or else I would let this take over what little life I had completely! I started Zoloft on 25mg and worked up to the max of 200mg over about three months. It was the best decision ever!"


"I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it for myself. So maybe you'll have to take my word on it. But this medicine is absolutely a lifesaver. This is my third cold sore. My first time was years ago I had no idea what it was or when I did it was to late and had to deal alone. The second time was a year ago I called my dr who prescribed a round of valtrex, because I caught it kinda early it still progressed but was nothing like the first time. So my third time is happening right now. But since my last outbreak I begged my dr for a daily script . Wednesday I woke with a small lump and I knew. I took 1000mg and watched it slightly raised and I could see the pustules under the bump.. I took another 1000 at night . It never progressed past that."


"It helps me sleep but the next day I have trouble breathing. It's almost as if it's hard to exhale but easy to inhale. It's like the weirdest sensation ever. I wonder if I'm allergic to this medication. I do suffer from heart arrhythmias."


"Caused loss of ability to focus, gained 30lbs in six weeks I was on it. Many many more symptoms.  Stopped using and all but the weight went a way.  Weight dropped 10lbs in 2 weeks after stopping. "


"I was prescribed this after a sinus infection turned into bronchitis. The take with food sign on the bottle should be in bold letters. I took the pill before my breakfast and threw up thirty minutes later. You need food in your stomach before the pill. This pill is the only pill that helps cure my horrible sinus infections. Eat first and you should be fine."


"I gave birth to my son at exactly 34 weeks because my water broke at 33 weeks. I had early contractions with him and he spent a while in NICU. I got pregnant with my daughter when my son was just 7 weeks and got the Makena injection from 16 weeks until 33 weeks and ended up having my daughter at 37 weeks. It definitely helps. Technically it doesnt help with preterm water breakage, but it does help with preterm contractions and early labor. The shot doesn't hurt when is injected but hurts for a couple days afterwards sometimes, make sure you tell the nurse or doctor to alternate hips. Good luck ladies"


"I took citalopram for 10 days but had to stop due to an allergic reaction I got from it.  Besides that, I could not sleep at night after taking the medication.  Unfortunately citalopram did not work for me at all."


"I have used Ogen for over 30 years - following a hysterectomy at 38 years of age.  It is absolutely wonderful.  I have experienced no side effects.  I take the name brand, because generics don't work for me.  Following Hurricane Katrina, when my doctor's office was destroyed, and I didn't know where to contact her, I went without my Ogen for three months.  I then learned just how beneficial it was to my quality of life, healthwise.

I am distressed to learn from my pharmacist that Ogen is no longer being manufactured.  At least it isn't available in the Jackson, Mississippi area.  I'm going to try the generic brand as a last resort."


"I've being treated for anxiety with amitriptyline & xanax. During my 3 month review with my doctor I told him how I went from a 1 to a 5 since taking these medications. I've been trying to gain weight since having my daughter 10 yrs ago. I was always 5/6 7/8.. After having her barely a one. So I'm pleased that Im gaining weight. So he gives me my anxiety medications with Periactin. Hopefully all goes well & i can reach my goal."


"I started taking Contrave about 2 months ago and I've lost 18 pounds.  I also eat carefully and exercise. The first several weeks, I had some stomach pain, nausea and most disturbing, leg spasms upon waking.  All of that has pretty much gone away.  The Contrave has worked very well in terms of curbing my appetite (although at some times, I am definitely still very hungry) but most importantly, taking away my urges for sweet foods.  I have never taken more than 2 tablets a day -- one in the morning and one in the evening.  This level of medication seems to be working for me and I didn't want to encounter any further side effects.  I am hoping to lose at least another 40 pounds.  This is a tough, lifetime journey.  Good luck to everyone!"


"I had an (undiagnosed) bleeding ulcer (from gastric bypass surgery). Doctor prescribed the liquid form, but $500 for the liquid?? The pharmacist kindly told the pill form is $4. Ugh, I hate this stuff! I am supposed to take it 4 times a day, but it starts dissolving the moment it hits the back of my throat... Its like tasting nasty sand! The coughing fits almost get painful, and then it feels like it i'explodes' in my stomach- so I can forget eating for the next 3-4 hours. Ugh. Seems I have a choice (my 'pouch' is still very small 5 months out), take this OR have room for hydration OR food, not all of the above, am asking my doc tomorrow about it..."


"Yes it is great at preventing pregnancy because you loose your entire sex drive. I've had mine in for a year now and I've seriously only had sex with my husband twice and I basically made myself because I felt so bad for my husband. Bleeding was non-stop which I was told would be..got on the pill to control bleeding because I passed out at work and was alone..not sure how long I was out for before a guard found me. Mood swings are insane crazy. Either I'm a zomby or I'm completely pissed at everything. I would NOT recommend Nexplanon to anyone. I get that every women's body is different and reacts differently to different medicines but don't take the chance with Nexplanon. I am getting mine removed ASAP."


"This brand did not help me  at all. I have never got this brand  before. I will never use this brand  again."


"I have long QT syndrome.   So I can not take anything to help me sleep because it could cause cardiac arrest.   However I have a horrible time trying to fall asleep and stay asleep.  It's terrible.  But I can take Belsomra safely.   And it has been a God send for me.  I take the 20mg dose and as long as I am in bed at the time it kicks in , I fall asleep fairly easily and stay asleep for a solid 6 hours. I wake up feeling refreshed.   ( I had a bad case of insomnia- 3 hours to fall asleep.. waking up 4 or 5 times a night-  getting 3 hours of sleep a night if that)  Belsomra has made sleep possible."


"Wish I had seen these reviews earlier.  Have been on Exforge 5/160 for 2 years, recently upped to 10/160.  It has brought my blood pressure down. Knew the side effects of the cough, and I can deal with it.  I didn't know why I was tired all the time, and became anxious when I had that "heavy" feeling, with the tingling.  Saw these reviews and asked the doctor about it and he admitted that it may be what was causing my problems.  Now that I know what is causing it, I feel much better about it."


"This medicine is very good for those who can take it. At first it worked very well for me. By the third refill I had developed a extreme allergy to this drug. First sign was extreme itching and severe sweating with dizziness. If this happens go to hospital quickly and stop taking the drug. When this started Doctors can't always determine it quickly enough as in my case. Second time wasn't as severe but by the third time when my reactions started I knew. So please don't take again if you get these reactions. But I do highly recommend this drug for those able to use it."


"Had a small accident early hours of 18th June took ella on 19th June at 10am then today 20th June started bleeding considering I'm only 14 days in to my cycle so its my normal ovulation time was recommended to take ella one
Had no reactions when I took tablet this morning slight cramping then came on so doing as its supposed to

It is the first accident we've had since my daughter arrived so don't want another baby just yet"


"I've waited out the three month wait time of absolute hell. Since starting Tri Sprintec my anxiety is through the roof, which exacerbates my depression to the point of me having suicidal thoughts on a daily basis. I can't wait to see my doctor and switch to a new pill. At 25 yo my acne had subsided from the teenage years, but since I was started on Tri Sprintec it has come back. I thought maybe it would just come and go around the time of my period. Nope. Still here and even more coming in. I feel like I am back to being a teenager again with this acne and crazy mood swings. I am crying over anything and everything. Maybe these side effects will go away in more time but I can't handle this any longer to find out."


"I was actually prescribed Atenoprol for my high blood pressure but a week after starting, I was sitting in a board room about to present and noticed that I was surprisingly calm. For years  I had suffered with panic attacks and severe anxiety when making presentations which I have to do frequently at work...So horribly embarrassing and uncontrollable.  My bp is down too and do far no side effects."


"This stuff works great with no side effects. I had my gallbladder removed and was suffering from GERD. My doctor prescribed me this. Now I can eat whatever I want with no heartburn."


"I have been taking Adipex for 2 weeks.  Starting weight of 185 lbs and I have lost 8 lbs.  I walk 30 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes in the afternoon 7 days per week.  It really has decreased my appetite.  I eat a healthy breakfast, cut back on my portion size for lunch and supper and eat nothing past 6:00 pm.  I have not craved sweets and some food does not even appeal to me.  I want to lose a total of 50 lbs.  I do worry if I will gain the weight back once I stop taking the medicine."


"I needed to get past a plateau in my weight loss journey, my doctor said that she recommended Contrave. First day was awesome. I felt very relaxed and only had a small appetite. Second day, no appetite, feeling doped up, and a little bit of nausea. Third day was absolute hell. I have never felt that awful in my life. Literally could not move. Husband said I looked like I was on my death bed. I definitely see how one would lose weight in that condition! Giving up and going to try phentermine. Have had several friends have great success on it. Praying for less side effects than the awful experience I had on Contrave."


"Does not keep the sugar from spiking"


"I have been on Lexapro for about 12 days (never been on anything like this in my life). I am very sensitive to the medicine. I can take about 2.5- 5mg. I have some shakiness, and had increased anxiety in the beginning. It seems to be leveling off now. My doctor recommended that I take 5mg in the beginning and then increase to 10 mg later. I think 5mg is enough for me. I get night sweats as well. Lost weight, because I am not hungry; nauseated. The anxiety has decreased. Its working."


"This medication has helped me a lot it keeps me calm and it's fast acting just take them as prescribed!"


"I have been on 400 mg of lamictal for 12 years. My life went from a nightmare of being diagnosed with major clinical depression and anxiety disorder with racing thoughts to a normal life. I tried more antidepressants and combinations than I can count in the 3 years leading up to my rapid cycling bp2 diagnosis. I have minor hypomanic episodes a few times a year and only a few depressive episodes in the last 12 years. No side effects. Tonight I start Teva manufacturer generic. New insurance won't cover brand ($1100/mth) So scared if it will work. Doc says I'll know within 2 weeks.  Had a baseline blood draw so I can compare my levels on brand vs. Generic."


"After breaking my back and being rated disabled because of the permeant nerve damage, and constant pain this is the only prescription that helps me lead as close to a normal life as possible.  I have tried several other options and none have been effective.  I was told to get in the best shape of my life and stay like that, so I am, but that just keeps me at a certain level of comfort.  I hate being stereotyped into a group of users, I am not a user.  When I have gone several weeks without it, day to day tasks are incredibly difficult.  Being a college student, having my prescription is the only way I can sit and study.  It allows me to put the pain in the back of everything and concentrate on studying.  I do make sure i am not addicted."


"This item did not work for me. Before using this product I went to doctor and was diagnosed with an yeast infection I received an prescription  that worked very well. However a week later I felt vaginal irritation so I decided to try the Monistat. Before I tried the monistat I wasn't uncomfortable or in pain. After using Monistat 1 my condition got worst than how I initially felt  I used it over night and the next morning I felt extreme dryness and Irritation which is how I felt before I went to the doctor and was treating my yeast infection. This item did not work and caused my infection to feel worse ."


"I have been taking 75mg/day of Avapro for 2 months. It has been effective at lowering my blood pressure to 130/80 in the morning and 120/70 in the evening. The only side effect I have noticed is some mild, occasional heart burn. I had been on Atacand for several years before; I had to stop it because of dizziness. Then I was given Lisinopril; it made me cough and destroyed all sexual interest. I much prefer Avapro, it is more effective than the others and has milder side effects - for me."


"I am on my second, three month pack of LoSeasonique and I am seriously contemplating stopping the birth control. My first three month pack, around week six I started bleeding. This lasted about a week and I thought my body was adjusting. Since then my face has broken out - I have never had acne problems. I am now on week four of my second cycle of pills, and I am now bleeding lightly again. I am experiencing the worst cramps I have ever had in my life. All I do is sleep, and I am still exhausted all the time.  I can't even get myself to do normal activities like grocery shopping."


"NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! Please NO ONE  take Dulcolax. I, like a few others in this forum, have been on an eating plan for weight loss. Without much fibre, I've been suffering from constipation. I finally had enough and took 2 Dulcolax last night at around 11.30pm as recommended on the box. At 4.15am I woke up with excruciating stomach cramps as well as indigestion. I went to the bathroom and had a small BM came out. I went back and forth probably 5 times with diarrhea, feeling sweaty, dizzy and thought I was going to faint. On the last time, I felt like I was going to vomit. I ran to the bathroom and violently vomited everything in my stomach. This was followed by liquid diarrhea (felt like hot water) for the next while. Pls beware. NEVER AGAIN"


"Been on citalopram for 6 months now.  I tried to beat anxiety for years, constantly battling my thoughts, counselling, CBT, exercise etc... In the end I gave up and went on medication.  The first week was HELL!  Jaw clenching, extreme thirst, lethargic, excessive yawning, exhausted... I nearly came off them! Even after 4 weeks I wasn't sure if they were doing anything.  My advice is stick it out!  After about 2 months I noticed the full effects.  I wasn't crying anymore, wasn't as angry or impatient, didn't worry over everything anymore! I fall asleep within 10 minutes when I used to be awake most of the night and unable to sleep! Situations that I'd usually get very stressed out over are now much easier, and I'm now much more laid back :)"


"After many months spent being given ten different types of antidepressants which none agreed with me my Dr suggested Venlafaxine 37.5 twice a day but I personally found it too much ( turned me into a Zombie) so we agreed on one 37.5 dosage daily slowly but surly it has given me my life back no major side effects other than insomnia .... Darkness is all I could see before venlafaxine 10/10 highly recommended"


"I WAS on Abilify for more than a year. then it got prohibitively expensive. (over $250) I was on 15mg. It made my rage and aggression more manageable. I think this is a MIRACLE pill. The only side affect that DIDN'T go away, was the restless leg syndrome. If you can afford this medicine, take it, it's GREAT."


"Takes a few days to kick in. Have an annular tear, disc bulge and Spondylolysis at L5-S1. Helps significantly with the pain. If I don't take it for a few days, the pain returns."


"I was put on this a few days ago. It does seem to level out my mood and it seems to make me "spin out" a lot less. Sleeping better after stressful situations and am bouncing back from emotional setbacks much better. Only problem so far is I am unable to ejaculate. Hoping they find something that will allow me a sex life though. I am dizzy and groggy on it too. But I will definitely use this if no other treatment gives me the peace that Fanapt does."


"I was prescribed this for OCD, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder and severe depression.  First, it didn't do so much, if anything, for my depression.  In fact, I had less energy and experienced apathy on this drug .  That being said, when it came to my OCD, hyper-vigilance & anxiety, this drug was a miracle drug.  It took away 85% of my obsessions & became apathetic to my rituals.

Unfortunately, after being on this for 5-6 years (and being above the absolute maximum dose @ 250mg), I've been experiencing major "poop-out" effect.  I'm worried that something is not going to work as well and work with the very minimal side effects that I experienced with Zoloft, as I have exhausted countless drugs."


"This is an amazing medication for OCD and generalized anxiety. This medication has truthfully changed my life. If you are considering which benzo to take I strongly suggest this one because it does not make you feel "high" like xanax does or the weird blackouts that can come from xanax. Only thing to keep in mind is that there have been studies linking klonopin use with Alzheimer's and overall memory issues. Best of luck!"


"Update #2
8 weeks in, my second cycle was great.. It was light and short, however I still have the spotting.. It’s not bad its more annoying than anything, I have to keep a liner on at all times,  no cramps I have actually lost a few pounds a great big plus! My sex drive is the same but it’s different with the spotting. I’ll be back in 3 more weeks with another update."


"Works well. Be sure not to take in evening or night just in the morning and noon though, because it will cause sleeplessness."


"After taking Savella for two months, I began to notice a slight lessening of deep muscle pain and tenderness of joints. It has not, however, done away with the intense fatigue I am sometimes subjected to. Initially, I did experience my heart racing and feeling jittery, but after a few weeks, this went away. I do sometimes experience hot flashes, but I can live with that. Overall, my doctor and I are quite pleased with the results. I don't know if this is as good as it gets or if the results will continue to improve as I continue the medication. While I am not completely pain-free, I am very happy with Savella. I find it a blessing indeed."


"Helps control awful nausea."


"Geodon has taken away SOME of the delusions/paranoia. Yet, it has made me angry and mean, and has caused me to gain weight. Recommend it for a short period of time- NOT longterm."


"Only works slighty at a low dose. My tolerance built up to about 8mg a day. At that point nobody wanted to be near me. I was a jerk-off even though I couldn't remember anything, but was told from people around me. I was like a wrecking machine, would tell everyone off but forgot the whole night before. My friends mom said I was getting edema from that big of a dose, my ankles swelled bad. It might work for some but not for me and withdraw slowly from it, I would say go down 0.25mg every 5 days. That's what I did and had no withdrawals what-so-ever."


"I was put on Trulicity because I had an allergic reaction to Medformin and Tragenta.  I had so much anxiety about taking Trulicity after reading the reviews.  I took my first shot on Thursday and today is Sunday.  I have had minimal side effects.  I felt a little achy in my shoulders and next but it only lasted 2 days.  I have not had any of the other side effects.  It does curb your appetite but not to where I can not eat. When I would wake up in the morning my readings would range from 140-158 and now that are around 110-115 which is amazing.  I would wake up with headaches and no more headaches.  I am very pleased with the results and very thankful for minimal side effects."


"My wife recently spent a week in the hospital including 3 days in neurological ICU because of a blood clot in her brain. She had 17 mini strokes and almost died. Oh, and she's only 25. She doesn't smoke, didn't hit her head, and no family history of blood clots. The neurosurgeon said it was because of the nuvaring. So please, don't even try it. I don't want anyone to have to go through that"


"The first month was awful with it. I was so moody! But the following months it was okay. I've been on it almost a year and it has become a nightmare. My periods get heavier each month, I have absolutely NO sex drive, and I've never been depressed or had anxiety, but this definitely has made me depressed. My husband and I almost split because of my mood swings. Needless to say, I'm getting off of it. I'll try something else."


"So I have never had a yeast infection and tried the one day monistat. After about 2 hrs I was miserable. It itched way worse, no burning but I feel really swollen and chaffed from it itching so much. Tried the tube of medicine and it seemed to irritate me more. Hopefully(like most reviews) it will be done by morning. Best comfort I found was to lay on a towel and let it breath with an ice pack on my lady parts.  Also vagisil medicated anti itch wipes work well. Good luck!"


"Have been on 3 other pills before Natazia (Microgynon 30, Marvelon, and Brevinor). Had many many symptoms with these pills including constant breakthrough bleeding, nausea, vomiting, headaches, increased appetite, bad moods. I thought I would be one of those women who couldn't go on the pill at all. Then I tried this pill (having heard its more "natural" and a four-phase pill) and I cannot believe that I haven't even had any symptoms at all. Nothing, AT ALL! I would seriously recommend this pill if you have had problems with other pills especially regarding breakthrough bleeding."


"very interesting stuff. brain fog gone,  feeling good,  quit cymbalta"


"Horrible. I have reoccuring yeast infections for years. I've never had the monostat do this to me.  They had to have changes the ingredients.  As soon as I applied it I felt like fire ants were inside me itching and burning. Cannot sleep the itch inside me is driving me crazy. After 2 hrs its calmed some. I will go back to diflucan.  I was just out of it."


"Lutera has been great. Keep in mind if you're switching, it takes several months for your body to get used to this lower dose hormone. After a few months, my sex drive came back and I lost 6 pounds. I love this pill. I had been on about 5 different regular dose pills before and they all made me so sick. I have no negative side effects. It does take a few months for your period to adjust, so be patient!"


"Many failed attempts on depression meds and lapsed into severe depression, suicidal thoughts, head to toe severe pain psychiatrist put me on 120mg of Cymbalta a day. Boom the pain and depression were gone. Instant relief, it was a godsend but I very quickly realized that the depression was not actually gone. It had shifted it into my anger/frustration emotion controllers, which for the most part I could deal with but after a few years the side effects add up. I have the horrible next few months of coming off this drug but need to as I now have insomnia, chaotic dreams, extreme lethargy and suicidal thoughts which you don't feel like acting on but still have. It does work but it is not a long term solution and I should have changed yrs ago."


"Shortly after taking Xyzal because I wanted to try a different allergy pill than Zertec. My throat and nose and eyes began to itch and burn really bad and I think its because of the Lactose Monohydrate ingredient but its not for me at all!"


"WARNING - Be prepared for withdrawal symptoms when you stop Belviq! I tried Belviq months ago but got nervous about the initial headaches and stopped after 3 weeks.  I had 2 evenings of "palpitations" and one horrible anxiety filled night with desperate thoughts. I got through it and rationalized starting again 3 months later when I realized Belviq really did a good job of preventing "cravings" and my tendency toward night eating. After 12  weeks and "fair" weight loss, I decided the recent cognitive and vision side effects were not worth risk of continuing. Withdrawal day 3 tonight. I should be on episode of Celebrity Rehab...horrific thoughts, anxiety, insomnia - want to peel my skin off. BRUTAL...hoping this is the worst of it. Good luck."


"I was on three 10mg ERs per day and it was wonderful.  Low side effects, did not need to increase dose even after years. Now that they've pulled it, I've tried oxycontin (20mg twice/day) and then Exalgo (8mg once/day) and neither works as well as the Opana.  I have lupus and OA (need joint replacement)."


"Only one side effect. Keeps me wide awake! Going to talk to pharmacist tomorrow. Almost a week now. Horrible sleep deprivation, feelings of depression, confusion, sadness, crying spells and lethargy. Something VERY wrong with this generic brand of Lunesta.

I've been on another generic brand of Lunesta for approx. 3 years.

Last refill was darker blue in color, this one is a lighter blue."


"Developed a serious DVT blood clot in the arm that broke loose into a small PE in my left lung.  I spent 3 months on Xarelto (3 weeks at 15 mg/twice a day and then 20 mg/once a day).  Completely recovered from PE and arm clot during that time and felt great (no side effects from Xarelto at all!).  3 weeks after quitting Xarelto, I developed a massive bi-lateral PE and found out I have Anti-Phospholipid Syndrome.  I'm now back on Xarelto (and will be on thinners for life) for a little over a month.  The PE has cleared up and I've returned to hiking.  No side effects/symptoms at all from the Xarelto.  Despite a few bumps and scrapes while hiking, I don't even have abnormal bleeding/bruising!  I'm guessing this is due to it's short half life."


"I am 20 years old & have never had kids. I've had paragard for 6 months now. Insertion was awful, despite the fact that I took 800mg of ibuprofen before. Worse than the insertion,  was the excruciating pain I felt for the next 4 days. I also had continuous spotting for about a week. Up until my first period after insertion, I would randomly get cramps. When I got my period I did have cramps, but nothing unbearable like before, although it was super heavy & lasted much much longer (about 6 days total). Now, on month 6, I no longer get random cramps. My periods are still much heavier & longer than before, but they're almost painless. Sex with my bf is great & I haven't gotten pregnant lol so I def say all the earlier pain was worth it."


Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone / pseudoephedrine

"I've had allergy related chronic bronchitis for going on a month now. Was first given Vanacof liquid for congestion and cough. While the Vanacof did help my congestion it did practically nothing for my brutal cough. Went to a great doctor who immediately prescribed Zurtipro liquid to help calm my cough at night. Feel so much better after two nights of decent rest. Where has this stuff been all my life. Highly recommend for bronchitis. "


"I have been on Zoloft for about a month now and went from taking 25mg a day to 150mg a day.  I was mildy depressed and had no motivation to enjoy life.  I have to admit that I have felt better inside but still lack motivation.  The side effects are pretty tough, I can't stop yawning all day long and my sex drive is non-existant. Also having great difficulty in ejaculating. I think the doctor is moving me over to Lexapro."


"First couple of days were no problem, then I started feeling nauseous every afternoon and more tired than usual. Its the last day on my dosage and I don't feel like I can even keep food down, I've been trying to eat soup just to get something in my stomach but its been hard. I'm the type of person who has been surviving on 5-6 hours of sleep a night, but on this drug I've been sleeping longer, not feeling like I've gotten enough sleep, and taking accidental naps during the day. My doctor only suggested this to me saying that my bacteria levels weren't too high, so it was my choice to take these, if I could go back I wouldn't have started these pills.  As far as I know they work, but the side effects I had are horrible."


"I've started taking it and only took 2 tablets and the pain is getting worse than before and my face all feels numb my teeth are hurting"


"It gives you immediate relief! YAY!"


"I was on Sprintec for 5 months as my first birth control ever, and overall I liked it. Shorter periods, less cramps, great skin, so cheap, and never any spotting (only when I skipped my period on purpose, I spotted a week later for 2 weeks). Only problem is I gained about 15 pounds and my breasts got HUGE. Mine were already big and kept growing so I had to switch to a lower dose.  I would definitely recommend this birth control to anyone."


"I got nexaplanon on April 9, 2015. It was fine at first. I knew I would bleed for 3-6 months after getting it implanted. After 6 months I kept bleeding and then after a year I was still bleeding. It is now July 2016 and I've been bleeding ever since. I'm miserable."


"This inhaler has made such a difference in my breathing.  I wish my doctor would have prescribed it years ago!!"


"At first I was always hungry but that subsided."


"Work good"


"I can't say enough good things about this medication. I've fought mild-to-moderate depression on-and-off for twenty years. I've done counseling and read tons of books. I also tried Paxil years ago but found it numbing.

Celexa has been WONDERFUL. I'm on 20mg a day. The crying spells, feelings of doubt and despair, and constant negative thoughts have all gone away. I still have up and down moods and feelings but they feel normal and manageable...like what regular people must feel like. I feel much more confident, happy and engaged with life.

As for side effects...not to be crude, but the only side effect I've experienced is delayed orgasm and, as a man, this is more of a benefit than a problem ;-)

I highly recommend this medication..."


"Over 2 months...I've gained 10lbs, awful mood swings, headaches (which I never used to get) and fatigue. I switched to this to help with my spotting but I feel like I'd take the spotting over this any day! Not happy."


"Used to take Axert but then lost my insurance. I never missed work or school. Unfortunately things in life went south and I'm living back home trying to get s new degree and have missed untold days because of migraines. Finally have a primary physician and she won't prescribe it because it can cause serotonin syndrome with my antidepressant. I was on 2 antidepressants when I was on it last. This is day 24 of the May of migraines. I've either woke up with one, had it hit me in the middle of the day or strike by 5pm, EVERY DAY and now I have gastritis so I can only take Tylenol. I know this is a review, I love Axert."


"Knocked the cough but I still have the cold."


"I just got the Mirena put in today and I have a low threshold for pain with certain things. I would advise everyone to take a good pain pill bc the pressure and cramping is pretty heavy. It's temporary but its painful...I kept tensing up and the Dr had to pause until I was ready lol...I hope all goes well but I will report back with results."


"I had been trying to convince my boyfriend of 6 years to go to the doctor and get something prescribed to treat his panic attacks, GAD, etc. At the beginning of last year he finally went to the doctor after enduring panic and anxiety for 5 or 6 years. The doctor prescribed him Xanax which helped a lot but he still was unable to do a lot of things. Today is his seventh day using Lexapro and I am already beginning to see a difference in him. The first 4 days he had some pretty shocking side effects, i.e. dry mouth, nausea, bit of dizziness and unable to reach orgasm. However judging by how well he is doing on day 7, I have very high hopes for this medicine and am excited that he is finally going to get to really enjoy life the way he deserves."


"I've been on this birth control since February of 2014, so about 14 months now. I love the fact that it last for 3 years and don't have to worry about taking a pill every day, but I am considering getting it taken out. With little to no effort at all I've gained 45lbs, zero sex drive, horrible mood swings with periods of depression. I bled for about a month after I got it put in and have no had a period ever since. I get all the symptoms that I'm going to start my period but no menstruation ever occurs. Every now and then the part of my arm where the rod was inserted with ache badly.While I think this form of contraception works great for some people, I do not think it works for me at all. It feels like the symptoms are only getting worse."


"Actually seemed to make my spasmed muscle in the shoulder blade area worse. It got better almost immediately after I stopped. I know this makes no sense. Tried it again after a couple of weeks with a flair up and it immediately got worse again. I don't understand why, but definitely didn't work for me plus during the second use I developed a rash. Not for me, too bad"


"I'm getting close to my sixth month on this birth control and I have some good and some bad things to say about it. My acne has cleared up a lot and my periods are lighter. On the contrary, I get my period about 4 days early. My breasts have gotten much larger and are constantly in pain. I also feel extremely depressed. This pill is free which is really nice, but I'm thinking about trying to switch to a pill that doesn't make me feel so down all of the time."


"My son started on Concerta about a year ago. It has transformed his life.  I don't like giving medicine but I have tried absolutely everything else - swimming, brain gymnastics etc.. nothing really helped.  He is naturally bright but just couldn't concentrate - particularly when it came to classroom work and focusing on a project involving writing.  The transformation has been incredible. He had an excellent school report in every area.  His teachers are thrilled, he is confident and happy and enjoys school. He doesn't take Concerta in the holidays or at weekends and manages fine going back on it on a Monday morning.  Only one side effect which is lack of appetite. We ensure he goes to school with a good breakfast and then he has a huge meal when he gets home."


"It was prescribed for anxiety & post traumatic stress. It helped with that in addition to my mood. I am set at 150mg. When I first started off, it was 25mg, the first few days were a challenge. But I got over the hump. Now I'm planning to get off of it. I don't want to be dependant on this medicine too long."


"I'm 24 and I work in a -20 freezer selecting orders for groceries stores. Constant bending and lifting while briskly walking. 3 times a week in 8 hours I'll take tramadol and one or two 10/325 Percocet. That cocktail gets me going. Loosens me up, No pain in back our feet and it numbs the cold out. I could run for 9 hours with it."


"Started on Saphris 2 months ago for sleep and bi-polar. I started at 5 mg---total nightmare! Couldn't sleep, picked arguments with my husband and was generally very hyped and energetic ( in a good but bad way!). I never saw a manic episode coming at me--but I saw this one!

After 5 days I called the doctor and was advised to go up to 10mg. WOW!! Immediate turn around that night (I only take it at night) and my sleep was fantastic! My attitude was amazing and my husband was delighted with his loving and easy going wife! I felt great--not drugged just happy and content. Work with it--it's turned my life around!"


"Honestly I've used this and it's the 0.05% one I believe and I've been using it daily it's really cleared up my acne like a lot at first I had a big break out and then I used this and once I started it the first few weeks it got worse and until 2 months later of using this it's gotten so much better but the only thing is that my acne scars "post Hyperpigmentation" is taking for ever to go away.."


"After taking the 2.5 dosage for 4 days I feel very irritable. I am experiencing crying spells, tiredness, extreme moodiness and just want to be alone. This medicine was prescribed for a mood disorder that I have been experiencing. I also take other anti-depressants. I don't think this is a good mix with other medicines or just not right for me."


"Started Stribild a week ago. I was very concerned about side effects but have not had any. I am very excited about this one pill regimen."


"Works fantastically to manage my allergy-induced asthma symptoms. Have not needed "rescue" inhaler a single time since starting with Pulmicort. Have noticed some slight changes to my voice within the first couple of hours of each puff that slowly returned to normal over the course of the day."


"I've been Vivelle for at least 4 years now. HRT pills upset my stomach and were not as effective for me. I tried the generic version of Vivelle but it was a much larger patch and did not stick as well. The adhesive on the generic also gave me a rash. Stick to the brand on this one would be my recommendation. I'm down to the lowest dose, hopefully will be done completely in another year or so. But this has saved my sanity and that of those around me."


"I didn't have any side effects, didn't make me sick nor dizzy. The only thing was it gave me yeast infection but it is common with all antibiotics. I guess every persons body reacts differently and you shouldn't read such reviews as it might affect you psychologically and  make you thing that you have side effects while you actually don't."


"My doctor perscribed Meclizine to help stop the dizziness associated with my inner ear infection they call Labarynthitis. It is very difficult to function, or drive myself to work with the dizziness but the Meclizine makes me so tired I feel drugged. Not sure which I'd prefer, the dizziness or the sleepiness because either way, I can't drive and that makes getting to work and function quite difficult."


"It worked for 2 weeks, Rosacea cleared up on my cheeks, but hives arrived and severe itching. Stopped the medication and a cream is being called in but hives and itching must be addressed by my Derm quickly!"


"UPDATE STARTING MONTH 3 I started at 250lbs now my weight is 216lbs. I've lost 34 pounds so far, I'm excited feeling so much better about myself at first. I was doing T25 but my doctor got after me said I had to lose weight not built muscle, he said to only walk 20 minutes a day not very happy with that because I would like to do more intense workouts but if it helps to lose weight I guess I should follow it."


"I love this, I've only been using Sprintec since the end of July, I was put on it after having my first child and since being on it my period is regular its not as heavy as it use to be and I hardly have cramps before birth control and before pregnancy my cramps were unbearable but now I hardly have any I wouldn't switch to anything else love this"

"Do not get this shot. I got it for birth control about five months ago and I have been bleeding for the past four. The effective birth control is not worth the risk. I feel like my whole life now surrounds the blood. I just want the bleeding to stop. I'm so scared and sad. Please, do not get this shot."


"I been taking this pill for almost two years and gained 13 pounds."


"After reading these reviews, I braced myself and decided to take the plunge expecting negative side effects.  So far, I've experienced none of it the first 2 days.  I'm 61 with lower blood pressure so maybe that helps going in.  I am drinking 100 oz of water a day as I think the headaches can be dehydration.  I'm thankful for a previous comment about breaking this med into its 2 component prescriptions.  My cost for 30 days was under $40.  Everyone will have a different experience but I it took away my obsession with food.  I ate half my breakfast this a.m. and just didn't feel like eating the rest of it.  I am going to forget I'm taking the drug and concentrate on working out most every day!"


"Taking since 2005 for a numbness, icy, electric zapping feeling in my thigh. Started mild and escalated to unbearable over 15 yrs. Kaiser had ignored it for years & I finally consulted an outside doctor who prescribed Cymbalta.
No side effects at all. Within weeks the unbearable electric zapping begin lessening. Over time a multitude of issues I thought were untreatable went away.  I quit falling down (I am no longer afraid of stairs), I could tap my toe in time to music (previously my reflexes couldn't keep up), the almost constant neuralgia that made my teeth hurt went away. At $350 per month, it was worth twice the price.
Now I can no longer afford Cymbalta & the generic makes me so nauseous I cannot take it."


"It worked but with horrible pains, I am 17 year old male and took 2 at 8pm and went to bed at 10 pm I ended up waking up at approximately 2am in agony it caused me to have severe stomach pains."


"Had no problem taking the drug but my treatment was stopped after 5 rounds due to severe neuropathy."


"This is not the nightmare many are making it out to be. No cramps or nausea. Tastes like a lime drink with a bit thicker texture. It is a bit salty, but that's to help you not get dehydrated when the show starts. Fast-acting and extremely effective. I may just make this a routine patio drink."


"I hear a lot of horror stories regarding Movantic, but have not had any side effects; except for flatulence (gas), before going to the bathroom.  I had a bowel impaction many years ago, from a L4-5 fusion; and was never told that the Vicodin could back my bowels up.  Long and short, I had a bowel impaction, so badly; I go not go either way; and have to go to the ER, to have it removed.  It was the worse pain that I EVER experienced in my life.  I had an industrial accident around 6 years ago, and have had several surgeries.  I live in chronic pain, and take pain medicine daily.  I know how an impaction feels; and was heading for another ER visit.  Movantic 25 mg was my answer; I wish it was available 15 years ago!  A bowel impaction is a serious issue to deal with.  When you’re constipated, you sit a lot on the toilet; and do a lot of pushing, which in turn, causes hemorrhoids.  One thing that I have learned follows: I don’t sit on the toilet, until I feel the urge to expel my bowels.  Sitting on the toilet causes a lot of pressure on the anus, and that in itself will cause hemorrhoids eventually.  Let gravity do its job; as it was intended to do!
Good Luck!"


"I have been on Seasonique for 3 months now. I recently started to have a light breakthrough bleeding and cramps (which I had almost NEVER gotten before). My acne is semi-normal for my young age. Maybe it's a little more severe than usual, but not much. I started reading all the reviews because I was worried about my bleeding and cramps. My side effects are no where NEAR as bad as some peoples'. I still suggest this birth control for anybody thinking about it. It has been AMAZING not having to worry about my period!"


"I have super sensitive skin and I'm very fair and this cream is the only thing that ever worked.  At first you get worse acne but with in two weeks or so it's gone and they didn't Come back.   Love this stuff.   Also helps with wrinkles a lot it's very noticeable"


"I had severe urination problems at 64to 65 years of age. I couldn't hardly urinate when I wanted where I wanted. It was painful to urinate and could not empty out. I saw a urologist and had a camera stuck up my penis. My prostate is the size of battleship.  I have been taking this tamsulosin for nine months and it has made it so I can urinate with out pain. It has been great. Side effects are not so. Retrograde ejaculation takes the fun out of orgasm.   Sleepy and listless often.  I think I am going to have surgery to ream out the prostate, and have been weighing the  issues.  You might as well try this stuff on and make your own decision. For now, it sure has helped.    Before, I had to get up three or four times a night to pee a little."


"I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 4 months, during that time my hair started falling off, dramatically.I didn't get pregnant so it served its purpose but I had to stop taking it because I was literally going bald. I noticed hair loss is not noted as a side effect, but it's been 1 month since i stopped taking Lo Loestrin Fe and my hair has been growing back and it hasn't been falling off anymore."


"Breo has been nothing short of amazing. I have severe dog and cat allergy. It primarily affected my breathing. Not just when I was around them but for at least a week after every exposure. This made my relationship with my dog loving in law's strained. Simply because I had to leave within an hour of a visit and take their daughter with me.

In comes Breo , I saw the ad on TV for a free trial, asked the doctor, he said my insurance didn't cover it, told him about the coupon, he approved.

Deep breathing. DEEP BREATHING! I SLEPT AT MY IN LAWS HOME FOR 3 DAYS. NO PROBLEM!!!!

CON: you really have to wash your mouth out thoroughly after every use. I've had more canker sores/popped pimple in there than ever.

Worth it."


"This drug has ruined my life.

I was prescribed this drug 3 months ago. I had severe side effects with more intense feeling of anxiety, extreme lack of appetite (ate only small snacks of for 3 days) and problems with erectile dysfunction. After taking it for 6 days I consulted with a pharmacist and decided to get off the medication. And did so by reducing it's dosage in a span of 2 days.

It's been almost 3 months since I've taken it. And I still have Erectile Dysfunction, which is depressing. Now I'm seeking treatment for it... I hate the thought of having to rely on ED medication for the rest of my life because of what this drug has done to me. But I feel that might be the case now."


"Here's one for the younger generation out there. 25 years old and healthy. My inability to perform was always present in my life. Part of it was anxiety no doubt, especially with a new girlfriend who wanted sex on a regular basis. Getting an erection was difficult, and maintaining it was even more challenging. I gathered up enough courage to talk to my doctor about it. He have me Cialis samples. AMAZING!! Rock hard so quickly, maintaining no problem, lasts over 2 days! What a miracle, no more issues in the bedroom, takes a load off my mind and the best sex I've ever had. I give it a 9 instead of 10 because it is expensive, insurance only covers 6 pills a month. "


"I took plan b about 2 weeks ago my partner wasn't protected and I wasn't on any birth control...we had sex twice that week both times unprotected it wasn't until the second he told me he might have ejaculated  I was scared cause he had said told me days after our first sexual intercourse that week... I took plan be 5 days after my first intercourse and 1 day after my second I got my period 2 days before I really works guys but side effects for me were headaches,cramps and fatigue."


"So far, I have had a lot of my acne clear up but I have also been using tea tree (which I was using before I broke out and decided to get on Birth Control) so I think it has helped there. I will say that after the first week, I have been bleeding ever since so I am thinking I will give this Trinessa Lo 3 months to figure itself out and if my skin isn't better I am going to let it go."


"I had a wonderful experience with Ziana. This is the only acne medication that didn't dry out my skin after using it. I thought I would never have a good experience with acne medications. Ziana is a smooth, moisturizing acne medication that leaves your skin feeling great. With a couple days the redness and swelling of my acne went down significantly. I don't see myself ever using another acne medication."


"I was on and off Lexapro for many years, but I always felt tired. We tried a few combinations of anti-depressants but none of them gave me the energy I wanted--even with as high as 450 mg of Wellbutrin by itself. I've been on 20 mg of Viibryd for the past couple of weeks as well as 300 mg of Wellbutrin.  I now have the energy and desire to go to the gym, breeze through work and housework, and visit family and friends. My sex drive is slightly improved. I've had slight digestive issues but nothing major. I hope things continue to improve. I'm impressed so far. I'll give an update as to my progress in a couple of months."


"I have had my implant in for nearly two years. Every month that I've been on this I've had a period every two weeks, am highly emotionally unstable, and now if this thing couldn't do it's job any worse, I'm PREGNANT. So no, I'm giving it a 2 since 2 years was about how long it lasted. Not worth it."


"I've been on YAZ since I was 16 (now 26). I used to be happy all the time, excited about life, enjoy sex and just fine. Since I've been taking YAZ I gone from mild to severe depression, anxiety attacks, uncontrolled bouts of crying, panic attacks and now I may have first signs of glaucoma. I now take high doses of antidepressants. My mental health shows no signs of improving. It has gotten worse as I have gotten older. I went to a psychiatrist a few years back and she put me on Prozac, but the symptoms have gotten worse. Now I'm on triple doses of anti-depressants. After reading these articles and the side effects of other users I'm confident it is the result of YAZ. I attend a medical school, so I shall have tests done next week."


"I had a knee replacement on the right knee.  In the three months since I had the replacement my left knee was worse the Dr. suggested a knee replacement for the left but I couldn't as the right replacement did not go to plan and I have a bent knee for life.  I came across the Synvisc and asked the Dr about it.  he said that he has not heard of anyone that it has worked on,  I went ahead and ordered it and had him inject the left knee it was good for about 4 weeks and then the pain came back with a vengence.  It cost me over $400 it was money not worth spending.  They say you should get up to 6 months mine was maybe one moth."


"I am 17 years old and I have just started taking Zoloft 25 mg for 2 days for stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia. The first night I took it at 6. I felt high, my pupils were big, and I couldn't stop smiling. When I woke up for school in the morning I was half awake and half asleep. Don't remember shutting my alarm off and getting out of bed. I had yawning episodes all day. And I also felt very happy. Some of these side effects suck, but I'm sticking it out. Hope it continues to make me feel happy!"


"I have tried many OTC sleep aids, to no avail. My doctor started me out at a 10mg dose, so my body would have time to adjust before we started increasing the dosage. I think that this was a good tactic because when I first started out on this medication, I felt zombie-like the following day. He gradually increased the dosage on weekends until a month and a half later I started taking 75mg. I get a full 8 hours sleep with my new 75mg dosage, however I was waking in the middle of the night with the smaller dosages. I'm happy with this medication, and no longer experience the post-sleep-zombification. I think however it deserves only an 8 because it takes me 6 hours after taking it to feel sleepy enough."


"I am taking simvastatin after dinner meal 40mg as per my doctor's prescription. I feel fine."


"Xanax has been a great thing for me. I was very scared to take it in the beginning because I had no idea how I was going to feel but it really calmed me down after two weeks of thinking I was going crazy or dying. I had never experienced anything like this before but I had to get a blood transfusion for my anemia and all hell broke through. My doctor gave me 0.025 and I only take 1/4 of that I Break it in 4's I don't want to go to sleep just take the edge off so my advice to anyone that has to take this even if you have a higher dose just take 1/4 of it until you see how it will respond to your body I hope I could be a help to someone."


"I have had all three shots. I found out that my knee hurts worse than it did before getting the shots."


"No one warned me that there were ANY side effects to worry about.  I was given 2 injections into my left hip of Kenalog 40.  Later the first evening,  my face was hot and turned scarlet red.  The red swelling went into my right eye and felt like sand.  Then I started getting dizzy.  My blood pressure was off the charts and my blood sugar Doubled!  I had to lay down and all I did was sweat.  I thought I was having a heart attack!!  The next day,  the facial rash was better,  but the dizziness turned into violent shaking!  When sitting very still,  it felt like my whole body was on top of a paint shaker.  I got horrible diarrhea that lasted for days.  My OLP flared into a bloody mess.  It took 12 to 15 weeks to even feel kind of normal again"


"Suffering from Bipolar I was prescribed Latuda. Over a 1 year period of taking the drug I lost motivation, became depressed, and bordered suicidal. With a lifetime of struggling with mania and anxiety, I've never been suicidal until taking this drug. It's also a tier 3, so it will run your most expensive copay or thousands a month without copays."


"Was given for MRI  of heart dye to suspected "mass" of Right Atrium.  Results "NO definite mass visualized".   They did not tell me ahead of time  I would be given this contrast drug, not until I was ready to be placed on the table for the MRI.

They did NOT tell me of any side effects, so I could refuse drug.  I have been SICK for 1 1/2 weeks due to this dam drug.  I have have had extreme frequent sweating, my heart racing and bad nausea.

I was "scamed" into taking this drug.  They said they would NOT do MRI if I didn't agree to take them IV drug!"


"I am bipolar I and went on topomax as an alternative to the awful weight gaining meds I have been subjected to in past. My anxiety went through the roof! I was crying constantly, my heart was pounding and I became fearful to leave the house. I love the 10 pd weight loss but not worth the anxiety and hair loss...sad I wanted it to work"


"My psoriasis has improved by about 80-90% in one month. The joint pain continues after two months."


"I LOVED the nexplanon, but sadly i had to get it removed :( i got it over 10 months ago (they say it takes about 9 to be in full effect) i had no weight gain, no emotional instability, no acne, no blotting, still had a sex drive. But my periods got progressively worse.. they say its normal to have "break through" bleeding.. but mine was ridiculous.. I had non-stop period for over 2 months.. so sadly I had to get it removed and my period stopped the next day after it was out. I loved the convenience and not having to worry about anything.. but hopefully it works better for you!!"


"Switch about 3 week ago due to Kaletra was keeping my cholesterol elevated . I was taking Truvada and Kaletra and noticed cholesterol level go up even though I take meds for it but was in normal range before. I haven't experienced and side effects, my body has always tolerated any meds that I take. If you don't have one please get a Gilead copay card , this will cover any out of pocket expenses with your insurance. VL/ undetectable and Cd4 count 515, will get checked again next month."


"The only few problems consists of drowsiness which is better than having seizures.  Another important issue is dosing. You most take every days worth or it can lead to an aura or a full fledged seizure which can effect drivers licences (loss of 2 years). "


"I had my IUD inserted after I gave birth to my daughter in January 2016 and when I had the Mirena inserted I was on my cycle.  My cycle ended like normal and then I came on my normal cycle again in February and this time it has not gone away.  Everyday I where a pad because it has been light but not light enough to wear a panty liner.  I am concerned because I don't think it is normal to have a cycle going on for 18 days and counting.  I am not so sure if it is worth me having this type of birth control because the side effects are just not worth it in my opinion.  I have had issues in the past with anemia due to my cycles and I do not want to have that issue again."


"My 6 yo son was only on this 10 days before yanking him off of it. The first day he ate almost nothing, threw up by 5pm and was awake at least 3 hours after putting him to bed. That day and the next few days he talked incessantly and had dry mouth, but his ability to attend in school was a little better but only for maybe 4 hours tops. By the last 3 days, it was making him worse. He was very irritable and was literally bouncing off the walls, and made his impulsiveness even worse. He was crawling on the floor, biting his nails wildly, licking things...you name it. This was a kid that most other people never even knew had issues, but within a week on Vyvanse, he was definitely acting wild."


"I have only used Zyclara for 3 nights, but last night after I applied it to my face and neck, I started coughing and filling funny in my throat. It only lasted about 20 minutes, but will try again tonight and see if I have the same reaction. List of side effects did list this condition. I want to love this cream but am afraid I may have to quit it."


"My daughter had a TBI and used to for muscle spasm .She had previously received Botox injections for several years which became ineffective due to her body building up antibodies to it. She has received several injections of Myobloc which were very positive in helping with contractions in her limbs.It increased her mobility and helped her use her arms and hands. Myobloc improved her quality of life and function with her ADL's.  Myobloc peaks with in a day of injection and wanes throughout several weeks. She has not had adverse side effects. Receiving insurance coverage for Myobloc took an enormous amount of effort and perseverance on both my part and the doctors."


"My daughter has used it since she was 6 months old.  However I am unable to consistently give her the treatment because it is too expensive.  It's too bad that something that can really help to keep kids from suffering costs so much that hardly anyone can afford it. Insurance pays half and I still have to pay $287/mo.  "


"Took the burn away in my stomach but made my hands and fingers swell."


"I have been taking Humira for four years. Before starting I had severe RA pain in different joints most of the time and RA flare ups left me very debilitated. Humira began to work within the first two months. I take the injection every 10 days. I currently have no RA pain, experience no flare ups and have no side effects. It has been a wonder drug for me."


"Okay so I got my birth control in July of 2013 ! The first week I had a cold as an side effect ! After that everything was going smooth ! I got really light periods for a few months and then it eventually went away ! I weight 127 when I got on the BC! After the first year I was 144! And u am currently 161 ! This birth control has literally ruined my life! I was always very small with a fast metabolism ! I play sports and work out but the weight kept on coming in ! No matter how much I exercised or are healthy ! I begin to notice cellulite on my stomach and legs!! THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE BIRTH CONTROL ! I can't shake the weight !!! My arms have Increased in size ! Other effects (acne,mood swings, depression, laziness )"


"After having my thyroid burned out 2 years ago I was on a non natural brand for my thyroid. I have not been feeling myself since these 2 years, always having no energy, not able to lose weight, not able to think clearly. I recently switched to Armour thyroid and I feel much better."


"I am a 70 yr old, in good condition. Have used Viagra and now Cialis with good effect. No side effects. "


"I have been taking Victoza for about 5 weeks. My sugar is stable. I do not have the big drops and hunger attacks. One reading was 110, but most have been 150. I am praying for it to become stable at 100-120. Some have experienced weight loss. I have not measured it; yet, I seem to noticed taking a belt loop tighter."


"Started 75mg twice daily yesterday for nerve pain in my legs and fibromyalgia after back surgery two months ago. While it almost eradicates my pain the dizziness and high feeling are limiting what I can do."


"Started taking Promethazine at 25mg 3x daily  yrs ago then to 4x daily  for severe nauseous and vomiting from treatments for cancer and couldn't keep food down at all. I was also on strong pains before & higher w/cancer Oxycodone 30mg 4x day & Morphine 30mg ER twice daily for having 18 fracture vertebrae (8 herniated, 9 bulging had 1 ruptured disc repaired) an separate AC joint in right shoulder an other broken bones an left over bullet & shrapnel fragment in both legs & right foot due to 17yrs US Army 3 Combat tours.
I found that the Promethazine didn't always work well as it should've at times I did go over an take couple more of them per day than what was prescribed.
Didn't notice if it help w/pain meds. On them again cancer returned."


"I'm 24, and have been plagued with acne since my teens. Two years into college, I started to get hormonally-triggered acne along my jawline; more cyst-like and painful that what I was used to getting on my face.

I had been living with it, managing only through OTC topic salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, but it was only getting worse. My skin also changed in my early 20s, becoming more sensitive and dry, but simultaneously oily (if you have it, you'll get it. Otherwise, I know it sounds like a contradiction of terms).

It was basically a mess; I didn't know what to do, and was considering accutane. My derma prescribed aczone, and while I had my reservations the first few weeks, less than two months later my skin is practically acne free."


"My doctor prescribed this because a higher dosage birth control made me feel sick. Well this pill has made me irritable and cry a lot. I have also had nothing but issues with my left breast. Under my left arm hurts and breast tenderness. Also my nipples are itchy and dry. I went to the doctor about it and he just said it was my body getting used to the hormones after examining me. But it's made my anxiety worse. I'm going to stop faking it and see if the pain will go away. I honestly can't function."


"I've had Synvisc One injections at least three times and each time they last anywhere from 6 to 8 months. The relief is awesome. I am careful not to overuse the knee and avoid many activities that I used to do that put undue stress on the knee, but I work full-time, stand for long periods of time, and ride a bike occasionally and Synvisc allows me to do this. However, I am in need of a new dose and this time I need to pay a co-insurance amount of over $400.00. This is far more than I used to pay, so I am not sure what is going on: same doctor, same insurance."


"I have been on Saxenda since Nov. 9, 2015 and it is very helpful. I was 323 and now I am 303. The energy boost for me is wonderful! I will continue to take it ."


"I had Implanon inserted in August, so I've had it for almost four months now. I really like it, except I only gave it five stars because I've been bleeding every day for about two months now. It's starting to get a little frustrating, otherwise I would have given this medicine 10 stars. I've had no mood swings or changes, no acne, no weight gain, none of the dreaded side effects from most birth control pills. If only I would quit bleeding! There is a little scar at the insertion site, but nothing too noticeable. Implanon is extremely convenient. I would say go for it if you're young, healthy, and can't seem to find a pill or other method that works for you."


"When I had  my implanon inserted I weigh 150 and a year later I weigh 165 and this year I weigh 174. I have been trying my best eating healthy and exercising  3 times a week and yet I am still gaining. I am going to take out my implanon at little over the two year mark because all of the sudden I feel depressed and aniexty which I never endured before . Nothing has changed in my life style that will bring those emotions either. At first it was a great bc but now I just want it out .. On the plus side since the day I inserted it I never experienced  a period which was the only reason I kept it on this long"


"Humira is a great suffered from birth (30 yrs) tried everything!!! Want to post pic but can't "


"While it is effective in lowering blood pressure, I have experienced  side effects, to include ringing in the ears, dizziness, rapid heart beat, odd muscle pain and slightly elevated liver values.  I also experienced rapid weight gain when switched to a generic version of the medicine."


"Hello again, I'm following up on my first review from January 27th of 2016. I've now had 4 Vivitrol injections and gotta say, it's worked wonders. The first injection, as I said, caused migraines, vomiting, and stomach cramps. Every injection I've recieved since has been good. No symptoms whatsoever, only positive results. I've been clean since November 17th of 2015. This shot is truly a lifesaver, my cravings are less frequent and very short lived. I reccomend this shot to anyone struggling with opioid dependency. My next injection is tomorrow and I'm sure the results will be the same as the last 3."


"I was diagnosed with major depression 6 years ago when I was 18 years old. I was started on 100mg of Zoloft. You hear the commercials about side effects of SSRIs about how they can "increase suicidal thoughts in children and young adults". Well Zoloft did that to me and made my depression even worse until I eventually was suicidal and was hospitalized.  Then they switched me to 60mg Celexa and I have never had any problems with it! I've been on it for 5 1/2 years and the only side effect I have is low libido.  The FDA lowered the max recommended dose to 40mg so my doctor lowered my dose too. I have been okay on 40mg but I wish I was still allowed to have the 60mg. I wonder why the max dose got lowered?"


"This was prescribed to me for back pain. I had a pinched nerve in the middle of my back.
I've also had back pain due to muscle spasms/Strained muscle. This is by far the best med I've taken so far (cyclobenzoprene, Flexeril, Hydrocodone to name a few). Most medications either make me too drowsy, constipated, or leave odd mucus on my stool. Methocarbomal leaves me functional & eliminates spasms. It makes me slightly woozy feeling if I haven't eaten anything, but that's only for about 20 minutes, then it seems to go away.

*These taste horrible* but if I'm in pain, I don't care. 9/10 for this

I'm not a heavy med user, and I honestly don't like taking medication. As soon my pain became manageable, I stopped taking these..But they DO work"


"225lbs down to 180lbs in less than a year. No negative side effects."


"I went through the myriad of short acting oral analgesics, and just couldn't stand the constant ups and downs, and always felt like I was only comfortable for half of the life of the pill. I asked my doctor to take me off OxyContin (40 mg.), he offered Duragesic as an alternative.

I use 100 mcg every 3 days with no problem.  Side effects are constipation, and short term memory loss. I'll happily trade that for effective pain relief. A huge plus is not developing a tolerance for it, so I don't have to have it constantly increased over the years. I don't use "breakthrough" meds, but I use Lyrica (about 6 years now) to help with pain from nerve damage. The combination works great for me."


"My insurance company force-switched me to this birth control. At almost 25 years old, I'm experiencing worse acne than I ever have before in my life. I'm also experiencing headaches and weight gain. Terrible experience with Blisovi."


"I want to update since May 2015. It has been 6 months. I will say YES the pain patch works if your tolerant and give it time and have the correct dose. It does stay on it you folow directions and bathe correct. What I hate is I can't get in the sun. I live in Florida. I cant swim or it will start peeling they are not cheap. It has restricted my work outs. I have no more interest in it not sure why. I'm about to pick up my last box. I' going to slow the use of them by cutting them over time. I just put on my last patch for this box. Im going  to wear it for 14 days not 7. Then I'm going to cut the next patch in 2 wear it 7 days and then the other 1/2 14 days. then the 3rd patch in 3. The same with 4th. I have tramadol if need be."


"I told myself to write a review if the pill ended up succeeding - and it did! On the 29th I had protected sex with my boyfriend, only to come to find out that after he came and pulled out, the condom had broke and it was too late. It was two weeks after my most fertile day, so I had a low chance of getting pregnant, but I had a mental breakdown and we went to get the pill. I took it about 11 hours after the incident. After reading these reviews and some of the side effects it can have + the few that failed, I anxiously awaited side effects. The same day I was extremely drowsy. Over the next week, my boobs felt like punching bags, I had mild cramps & was nauseous but it was bearable. My period ended up being a few days late, but it's here!"


"While this birth control did it's job by being a good contraceptive, I have a lot of symptoms with it.

I gained 15 lbs in the first 2 months, had so much acne, and just felt like complete crap. I couldn't do it anymore after the 6th month, so I stopped taking it.

Everyone is different but it is definitely not for me."


"Helps immensely for the pain of withdrawals."


"I started cymbalta at 24 and I'm now 32... I changed to them after I had my first born but from 18 years old I was on Luvox!

Yes first year or so I felt the cymbalta helped me a lot. More then the Luvox ever did. But for about a while now I really have noticed the bad things.... I get a migraine if i haven't taken one by 6pm. I get snappy and angry if I just miss one day... Last yr i Kept forgetting to take my scripted into get filled. After a few days I was yelling and crying and dug myself in a hole! I couldn't get out of bed the war in my head was so bad! My fam even called doctors on me because they were that worried.... The doctors advice was to go back on my cymbalta and start councelling! I want to change it but I hate it!"


"Most Antdepressant(AD) medications have been ineffective for me. My primary concern is anxiety with depression being also a concern. Wellbutrin in my experience has been one of the few which isn't aweful. It's honestly no miracle worker and I'm not sure AD's are the way to go. That said if your going to take an AD wellbutrin is well worth trying. I presently take 150mg but 300mg was most effective. Pros: Helpful on sexual side of things, weight-loss, helps a lot with feeling happier. Cons: Little or no effect on anxiety, slight weird feeling (I noted I should be sad yet I'm not. I guess that's it doing it's job.), can cause insomnia (be careful what time you take), not available on PBS (In Aus)."


"I'm at the end of my 2nd month.  First month was on the .25 dose.  Gained 4-5 pounds in the first 2 weeks!  I'm very petite and have been the same weight for 20  years so this was a huge drawback.  My Dr. changed me to the .35 dose and still the same weight but now more pimples and bled for 2  weeks.  Also, I think this pill makes me feel kind of BLAH and empty inside.  Could be environmental factors but I think I'll be switching soon!"


"I've just started this medication and so far so good. So far all I have noticed is that my pimples are coming to a head and my cysts are starting to level and also blackheads and whiteheads are vanishing. I'm on the 80 mg Solodyn and I'm guessing that's very high since most people her are on like 65 and 50 mg. I do get very dizzy, lightheaded, my stomach kills, and I have trouble focusing for about two hours after taking the antibiotic but it's a price I'm willing to pay. I have sensitive skin and I like how this doesn't make me peel as much as the previous topical medication I was on (Ziana).  I'm still suppose to use it but I like the results I'm getting without it.  I would recommend this for sure."
