"I take Klonopin for anxiety, 2 mg - 4 mg per day as situationally needed. It is not habit forming and I have no side effects. I can go several days without needing it, then when I do it's very helpful to bring calm and relaxation and significantly reduce depression. I think some people on here are confusing the side effects of Lexapro and other SSRIs commonly prescribed along with Klonopin. More than likely it's the SSRIs that are causing the nasty side effects and withdrawal symptoms, as I went through that myself when I stopped taking the anti-depressants. I find Klonopin by itself to be high effective without any negative effects, and I have stopped all other SSRIs because of their sexual side effects and worsening of depression."


"I promised myself that i would come back and right a review as I was on here for days and days reading these to try and ease my mind. I had unprotected sex on April 7th and the morning of April 8th ( about 12 hours after) I took plan-b. I was freaking out because I wasn't on birth control, and we didn't use a condom. BAD IDEA!! Don't use the pull out method! My expected period is supposed to come around April 20th-22nd. Its April 15th and I started bleeding yesterday, it was quite light. But then last night it got really heavy. A little heavier then my normal period and was experiencing some cramps and a headache. But as we all know that the Plan-b can make your period come early or late. This definitely has to be my period!! Breathe ladies"


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


"
First of all, the worst side effect for me is the constant yeast infections. Never had one in my life until I started this pill, now I will have one constantly, cured for a week then it returns with vengeance. So dry down there, to the point where my partner and I had tension about one of us unknowingly carrying and STD (neither of us were) absolute horrific mood swings, you will become a completely different person. Nausea. Sweating. Weight gain. All of the things you don't want. It took me 3 months to realize this pill was the source of my misery. Do yourself a favor and stop it, there are so many better options out there ladies! Best of luck x o"


"DO NOT MISS A DOSE IF YOU TAKE THIS MEDICATION! I literally forgot to take one pill this afternoon of my Wellbutrin and now I feel absolutely MISERABLE. I have been crying for the past four hours nonstop, feel so much grief and self hatred, and am having suicidal thoughts. I've never been this bad before and I attribute it to missing one pill. I'm really scared of how missing just one pill has so much of an effect on me."


"I NEVER write reviews, but this is worth writing about.  I have been overweight my entire adult life.  I am 5'6, 38 yr old female, starting weight 205 size 16-18 woman's. Started 1st pill May 26th.  first one made me slightly fuzzy in the head, but only the very first dose.  I felt my cravings stop immediately!  It was so weird.  Besides the food, my husband was disappointed because one thing we love to do is drink wine and go to wine tastings, etc. I lost all craving for alcohol, sweets, and fatty bad foods.  Plus I struggle with Panic disorder, and I have felt at ease.  As of today, Aug. 2nd, I am down a total of 22 lbs.  This is without diet or exercise, however I will start to incorporate it in so that I get the maximum effect!"


"I just started my second pack of Jolessa.  I started using this birth control because I was having migraines every period, so hopefully I will only have period induced migraines every three months.  I too experienced a lot of spotting during my end of 2nd-beginning of 3rd month, almost 3 weeks.  And my period did have some pretty good cramps but only lasted three days.  Overall, I am glad I no longer have the monthly periods or migraines."


"Completely effective for asthma maintenance, side effects - insomnia, weird dreams when able to sleep, headaches and nose bleeds. Only took for 4 weeks. Unfortunately, now after stopping it, have limited lifestyle (Singulair gave me back a life)."

"I have been on Depo on and off for a few years. I did experience some spotting but no heavy period. I have gained a good 15 lbs in the process. Coming off of Depo I gained an additional 10 lbs in 2 months or so. I had my last shot in October, it is now May and only had one short period that lasted for 3 days in March. When on Depo I have also experienced hair loss and difficulty sleeping, as well as a drop in my sex drive. "


"I was given Celebrex for arthritis in my knee. After taking it for about two weeks I started to notice not only was my knee better and I was able to resume all of my normal activities with no pain but my foot that I had been suffering from planter fasciitis for two and a half years was finally not hurting. I had been through every treatment  and three different foot doctors with no relief at all. Celebrex is by far the best medicine I have taken it has given me back my life in more ways then one."


"I used the Equate Night Time Sleep Aid.  It did help me sleep.  However, if I didn't immediately get in the bed so that I could fall asleep as soon as I felt sleepy, then I would get restless legs.  Good medicine though, if you can't sleep."


"I have tried to use Trileptal for about a week but I'm having gastrointestinal problems with bloating and slowed digestion. Don't think I can stay on it but it does work good for my anxiety."


"Never used it, try to activate saving card online, near to impossible, call customer service number, nasty representative, and after an hour of trying to activate it card was expired, funny thing card was dated to expire 6 months later, hahahah what a joke."


"I am on prescription opiate pain medication which makes me constipated on a regular basis. I have tried every laxative on the market aside from enemas and this is the ONLY one that relieves me. Yes, I do experience cramping a few minutes before "its time to go"  but it definitely does its job every time."


"I have a lot of ear infections due to an ENT issue and have been prescribed this twice in the past year.  Both times it gave me horrible, vivid nightmares.  It also leaves a horrible taste in the mouth for a few hours after taking a dose and I seem to pee a lot for the first couple of hours too.

It seems to work but I think I'd prefer another anti-biotic due to the above issues."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"This is my last day & after finished it still had residual side effects (hopefully it will work)
"


"I augmented my SSRI Lexapro with BuSpar to help bring my initial startup anxiety down the first few weeks of starting an SSRI. I must be one of the lucky people who found BuSpar to be effective because it did greatly relieve my anxiety, especially tapering up my dosage over a few weeks time. I only had to take one Xanax over the period of a month when starting up my SSRI thanks to BuSpar."


"I have been taking Klonopin for almost 3 years now. I take this medication for panic disorder, but I also suffer from bipolar disorder type I. Before this medication, I was very close to committing suicide because I was having
horrible anxiety attacks that lasted for hours at a time and sometimes carried over into the next day/morning. Klonopin has eliminated my panic attacks. I still feel anxiety from time to time and that's when I take 1mg. I take half if I feel anxious at work and don't want to feel too tired. A dose of 1mg makes me tired most of the time. I've taken 2mg when necessary, never needing more than that."


"Bad taste but improves over time. Severe headache but again..improved with continual use. Then right eye started excessive tearing and running down my face. Stopped med for two days and got better then restarted. Two more weeks then right eye started excessive tearing again... and face broke out in rash.. looks like new onset Rosacea so made appointment with dermatologist and eye doc. Never had any issues before starting this med. Really  worried now....should have waited before starting a brand new med before it had been out long enough. I am a pharmacist and know better."


"I have been on Belviq six months and was 229 pounds. Now I am 192 pounds, lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol. Side effects early I was a little tired and headache. My will power and confidence are up 100% and my cigarette consumption is down 65% from two packs. My cravings for food and cigs are pretty mellow and I believe I will quit sooner then later. This way to easy and yes I do ride my bike daily."


"I was diagnosed 2 months ago with Still's disease and began therapy with Kineret ASAP per my Rheumatologist's recommendation. Almost magically my symptoms that had previously left me bedridden and miserable subsided- within 2-3 days. Injecting daily is a pain in the butt and was difficult to learn at first, and I began experiencing some mild injection site reaction in the 3rd week, but otherwise would not know where I'd be without this medication. If you can stomach the daily needle and occasional red/itchy ISR, Kineret is well worth it!"


"Only took it for 14 days before side effects caused me to discontinue. Started having horrible headaches, insomnia, some night sweats, nervousness, gas/nausea/diarrhea. Never had this cluster of problems simultaneously until I began this medication 2 weeks ago. I don't plan on using any other hormone for birth control."


"Works great!"


"How I wish this pill medicine had existed before, as I had to inject myself for many years! It is very easy to take and I did not get any side effects, although I did need to have a second ECG 6 hours after the first dose, as my blood pressure had decreased. The hospital room temperature was very low that day, but walking increased my blood pressure and the doctor released me so I could go home! Control stay in hospital was covered by Novartis.

I stopped Rebif injections in 2010, with who knows which effects!"


Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine

"Excellent for drying up runny noses and relieving cough. Makes you really sleepy."


"Don't keep me asleep and have weird dream with this medication"


"I previously posted at 3 days in and now it has been 15 days since I started Qysmia and I am down 8 lbs. I am very pleased I literally have no appetite or interest in food and have to remind myself to eat. I am always thirsty and drink about a gallon of water a day."


"Have completed eighth (8th) week of Bydureon injections. Med physician prescribed not approved by insurance carrier and this was their substitute after 2 weeks on previous.

No nausea at any point (was warned both by physician & literature this would definitely occur).  Prior 2 week med controlled appetite, do not see where Bydureon has this effect.  First 4 or 5 weeks seen slight weight loss of less than 2 lb per week but this has subsided and actually the last 2 weeks have shown a reversal.

Will say have more positive outlook 4 days after injection & this subsides.  Pharmacist said Bydureon has more of ingredient I need, however believe personally benefit daily rather than weekly injections.  Most likely will discuss this next Dr. visit"


"I was experiencing quite a bit of nausea and breast discharge at first, but then I started to lose my hair and it never stopped!! "


"I went on Yaz for about three years and I found that my mood drastically changed for the worse as time went on. I had horrible mood swings and cried about everything. "


"Double seronegative MG with only ocular symptoms for going on three years -- slight ptosis and (typically torsional) diplopia during flare ups.    Edrophonium test was very positive;  EMG negative.  Mestinon induces absolutely no detectable change for me -- which seems odd if the edrophonium test was positive.   Stress levels and possibly pollen levels tend to exacerbate symptoms.  Symptoms can be held at bay with 5mg prednisone every third to fourth day   heavy exercise regimen (35-45 miles running per week)   diet low in wheat but high veggies and protein.   Asymptomatic periods have stretched up to 9 months."


"I had remaining tooth pain after dental surgery to extract a bad tooth and put in the implant. The tooth pain was in the tooth next to the one that was extracted. I could not bite down on that tooth even 6 weeks after the dental surgery!! Ibuprofen did not touch the pain.

Then the doctor gave me a Prednisone pack. Two thirds through the first day the pain was mostly gone. The next morning I could chew normally again. No pain after that."


"I finally got this removed after 15 months of use. I gave this thing a fair shot, but I hated it the entire time.

My worst side effect was the extreme depression I suffered while on it. I have a history of depression and anxiety, but after several months of being on the Nexplanon, my therapist mentioned my symptoms were more common and more extreme, and it was very likely the Nexplanon that was at fault.

The second worst side effect I suffered was the total loss of my sex drive. Not only did I never want sex, when I did partake with my fiancé it was incredibly painful. This was never an issue before the Nexplanon.

I got it taken out a week ago, and I'm already starting to feel better."


"I'm a healthy 36 year old male. The first and only anti-depressant I have taken. I'm usually quite mellow but when I was going through a divorce, I needed something to calm me down. Lexapro worked great, almost too good. I voluntarily cut back my dosage because I was too care free and avoided even making simple decisions. But the right dosage worked great for me. It also helped me with premature ejaculation, a condition I occasionally encountered. While my sex drive decreased, my confidence went way up. The only bad side effect I had was stomach discomfort when first starting the medicine, but subsides after a few weeks."


"I've tried many medications over the years to control severe tension headaches and this combination in Esgic is the only one I can trust. Headache sufferers know the agony of just doing normal tasks and being the best you can be at work, at meetings, with colleagues, family and friends. I am conservative in my approach, but when I must reach for the Esgic, I can function normally and pain free 9 out of 10 times."


"I was put on this after attempting suicide and being diagnosed with depression, this medication definitely made me stable but I wouldn't necessarily say it was the best one for me. There was still many occasions that I would think about cutting and suicide, although I never took it upon myself to attempt again, I did cut multiple times while on this medication. It worked best for me when it was paired with Zoloft or Prozac."


"I have been talking nitrofurantoin for 2 days and I have a severe stiff neck. Is this normal?"


"It is helping with the insomnia and with the restless leg syndrome."


"I had the Mirena 1st inserted with great pain in 2006.  After the initial pain of the insertion it was a miracle!  After a lifetime of heavy and irregular periods I actually stopped having periods.  After 5 yrs I had it replaced.  My new Dr. did the removal and insertion of the new Mirena under general anesthesia.   For the first year all was great. Then the unexplained spotting began..I was told it was stress... then bleeding and cramping for months that finally ended with bright red blood loss during sex... scared the heck out of my boyfriend and me... again dr told me stress was to blame.  I changed Drs and was informed that hormone changes which cause the bleeding during sex.  I am having it removed.   Too much at risk the 2nd time around."


"Put me on this for chronic daily headaches (some migraine, some not).  It has been two weeks and the headaches which I normally get in the morning are fleeting now and go away on their own which they never did before. Start low and go slow advised so I am taking 20mg a day that I divide up.
I am very sensitive to medicines, the side effects for me are middle of the night insomnia which I'm hoping to fix by taking less at night. Stomach upset which it helps to take with food and I increased my Prilosec dose.  A little lethargic, dry eyes. Pros that I wasn't counting on is it has helped my TMJD, I feel much calmer during the day (have some Social Anxiety) and my overactive bladder is calmer too."


"I'm a success story with Remeron. I gained weight but I was aiming to get my appetite back, so no complaints there. Also, I have no anxiety and can do my work better. Emotional disturbances that come up are mild and I forget about them more easily. In short, I am not depressed anymore -- and I am enjoying eating and sleeping now."


"I took one tablet with water and an hour later had the worse pain I have ever had this carried on and I called 999 I later blacked out and woke up to find my bowel had emptied then the ambulance came. I have never had pain like this and  now use a fig based natural remedy which is a lot softer"


"Flonase is the best! I suffered from horrible night-time congestion. This medicine is a miracle. No more waking up all night unable to breathe with a horrible headache and feeling like a zombie for half the day! No side effects at all for me. Only downside is the expense without insurance. Wish they had a cheap generic version."


"I really like how the Buspar worked for me I was given 10mg tablet half to a whole up to three times a day and it did wonderful to help tame my anxiety. I had to lower my dosage of Buspar because the original diagnosis of anxiety, depression in ADHD might be Bipolar disorder instead but I really didn't experience much side effect except maybe lactation without pregnancy but that may have been Celexa causing it."


"I have used a Z-Pak several times. I love that it helps clear up whatever bacteria is causing my illness. I don't love each consecutive time that I take it, the side effects are more pronounced."


"I have been on this medication for 9 years straight. I was prescribed it when I was 18 and had been having awful cramps and nausea during my period, as well as it being irregular. Since I started this birth control I have only had minimal cramping and have never been sick from my period again. I did not feel any different when I started it and I have never experienced a negative side effect. I have nothing bad to say about this medication; all I have gotten from it is regulated, shorter and lighter periods, pregnancy prevention and bigger boobs. All great things in my opinion"


"I was prescribed Lyrica for Fibromyalgia pain.  It didn't really help that much but it did wonders for the neuropathy in my feet caused by botched plantar fascitis surgery.  The pain in my feet was horrible and the Lyrica took the sharp jabs and the feeling of nails being driven through my feet away.  Still have some pain in my feet but not the intense, jarring me awake type pain.  On the one occasion I ran out of Lyrica I got terribly sick, throwing up and diarrhea.  So I don't run out!!  Am taking 300 mg morning and night. Have recently lost 37 pounds, albeit with great effort, just like before Lyrica.  Sometimes my vision is just a little blurry, but have learned to deal with it.  I continue to take Lyrica for the benefits."


"May 8th is a special day for me it is the day I used Chantix and stopped smoking that was 5 years ago and I'm still smoke free May 8th is also my Birthday. I tried for years to stop smoking and only Chantix worked for me thank you very much for such a great product."


"I used to take Loestrin but I had breakthrough bleeding problems. So my doctor changed me to this pill. I am very pleased with it. I have gained about 15 pounds though. I do get headaches too. But overall its a pretty good pill."


"I have cramps now and get daily headaches.. I truly believe it's from this patch. I will finish this month then maybe go to minastrin which is less estrogen.. I haven't decided yet. I would love to just do natural family planning, side effects aren't worth it."


"I started using Epiduo about 21 days ago. I'm not the type of person to apply it every night because I'm lazy. But my mom said that she has noticed a difference and says that my acne looks like it is going away. I am also a person who picks my face a lot which I know is really bad. Epiduo did make my skin dry but not that badly. I would highly suggest if you touch your face and use this, try as hard as you can not to touch your face.  Also I would suggest to make sure you apply it every night and wash your face. If I applied Epiduo everyday for the past 21 days I'm sure my skin would be so much better and almost clear. I will most likely write back soon to update on my skin progress."


"I have been using vimpat since 2011. I found a New Doctor in 2011 he ordered  Vimpat 100mg 2x a day, along with Clonezapam .05 2x a day, Somehow this was the perfect combination of both medicines as I have been Seizure free for 5 years! Vimpat Works For Me! :-)"


"Put on 30 days Cipro 1000mg/day for suspected prostatitis based on pain during rectal exam, all other symptoms had gone away by the time I saw urologist. Day5 I took the pill my feet and ankles swelled up and it was very difficult to drive my car or climb stairs. A few days later, one of my ankles is still tight and the foot on that side tingles when walking around. Hopefully these side effects will go away. Prior to starting I did have pain in my left abdomen and a heavy feeling in my left testicle, and these seemed to go away 3 or 4 days into the treatment, so I cant say the medicine didn't work at all. I am left hoping this tendon pain in my feet will subside and I can return to usual activity. Was told to never take Cipro again."


"Works and does not cause gas."


"Great medicine. I just wish it wasn't so expensive."


"I started taking this medicine 4 days ago.  I have not experienced any negative side effects and I am down 7 pounds (starting weight 03/27/15 - 281.3; today's weight 03/30/15 - 274.0).  My cravings for sweets and desire to snack disappeared immediately; also this morning for the first time I noticed that "stuffed" feeling after eating a very small amount of food.  I am so excited and hope that this continues to work for me."


"I have Narcolepsy and I am currently taking 200mg twice daily and it barely works. My doctor added Ritalin 20mg twice daily and I have been on Ritalin for previous years until I moved to TX. In 2013, I was prescribed Vyvanse 70mg I believe. It didn't work better than the Ritalin or Adderall I tried while in TX. My doctor then prescribed Xyrem. Needless to say none of these drugs have provided adequate relief from daytime sleepiness. I started provigil in January 2016 and there's no change. I took provigil about 10 years ago and the same results. I need serious help because I barely function."


"I've been on this medication for a few years now. overtime, I have noticed huge improvements in my severe social anxiety. it is much easier to get through the day!

As far as side effects, I experienced loss in appetite and fatigue for about a week, then it all went away.

Please don't let negative reviews scare you and give the meds a chance to do their job, it doesn't happen overnight!"


"I've been thin my whole life. Never weighing more than 100lbs. I have two children and at almost 30 I was 5'9 110 lbs when I found this medicine. It started working within days. And I love it. I'm not much for taking pills everyday buts its worth it. Its the only thing that's worked for me, and everyone has noticed the diff.Haven't stepped on a scale yet."


"I have been on birth since I was 14 or 15 to contol my period . I have  been on the pill, the ring, and the shot. The shot was the devil and while on the shot I went to my gyn and told her I wouldn't stop bleeding and I wanted to stop the shot and I told her I wanted to try the patch . I was going to wait for the shot to wear off because I have 5 more weeks but I couldn't take the bleeding  so I put on the patch on a Sunday  a couple hours later the bleeding stopped !! I love love the patch it is easy to remember the only problem I have had the last 2 patch is it left my skin irritated  but its my fault because I shaved the area before I put on the patch"


"I had horrible cystic acne on my chin (5-6 large, angry, agonising, red lumps at any one time) & they started to creep along my lower cheek which is when I decided to take oral contraception to help it stop.

Now 6 months on from starting yasmin my skin is better than its ever been and I am only left with slight hyperpigmentation which is easy to cover with makeup. Not 1 new spot this month and NO oil at all! Seriously, not even a shiny nose!

Results only started at around 5 months so please, please keep at it. 1st month my breasts grew and hurt alot but by month 2 they went back to their normal size and I felt no more pain. Months 2-4 I had minor whitehead breakouts along my jawline but these disappeared by month 5. Month 6 I am acne FREE"


"Besides reducing the nerve pain from bulging discs, it also noticeably reduced the constant, annoying ringing in my ears."


"I initially wanted the Mirena IUD, but the insertion didn't work on me :/ So nexplanon was my plan B, because it is also one of the most effective methods out there.

I was unlucky again with insertion: the tip of the rod just kept poking out at the incision site! Now my gyn removed it and inserted a new one for free, a bit more deeply and put a stitch at the incision site. So far so good, I'll get the stitch removed in 3 days.

Keep in mind, that complication is extremely rare! I am just super unlucky with insertions somehow. Fortunately it was effective even when not inserted at 100%.

Other than that, I haven't had a period yet, nor spotting, my breasts are soft and never sore, unlike with the pill, looks good :)"


"second bc pill i've tried, first one had headaches and double vision

since i've started Alesse i have had a swollen ankle and leg pain, so today was my last dose and off to my doctor again

used to be on bc pills for years with no problems"


"Honestly everyone's bodies work differently and I've heard horror stories about every type of birth control but this one has been really excellent for me. I've been on the depo shot for 5 years now (planning on switching soon). The shot does sting a bit so be sure it's injected into your hip instead of arm. First month I spotted nonstop, but I haven't had a single period since. No pregnancy scares. Very gradual weight gain for me, 25 lbs over the past five years. Cleared up my acne, have plenty of libido. I give it 10/10."


"Absolute worst birth control I've ever been on. Made me moody and have random crying spells, and made me breakout SO bad. I've never had a problem with acne but as soon as I was put on this, it was just pimple after pimple after pimple. I changed it as soon as I could. I would NOT recommend."


"Taken for painful cramping.
5'3" 120 lbs, age 27 started with Lostrin, but moved out of state and started taking Sprintec in 2015. Honeymoon peroid. Two years later, I am 144 lbs, 29, suffer from depression, bloating, stagnant digestion, pain in lower abdomen (regardless of having a period,) and periodic cluster headaches. The weight gain has been gradual despite the fact I was working physical jobs and doing yoga a couple times a week.
Recently stopped taking pills as I noticed my period was occuring before I even got to the white row. Had been skipping that row completely as it seems my body wants to do what it wants. Experiencing(both abdominal pain and lower back ache) have lessened in frequency but when it's present it's debilitating."


"Breakthrough bleeding, two periods in one month, weight gain, horrible lower back pain and cramping and terrible acne! Not moody at all but all the above a good reason to find something else"


"It worked great far as not getting pregnant for 3 years, but I dealt with a lot of side effects: depression, mood swings, change of appetite, back pain, headache, an increase of discharge, and irregular periods"


"I cannot chug-a-lug anything fast and have to depend on a straw.  This was the easiest prep I have taken yet.  Yes, it tastes pretty bad but I experimented and also used a lot of the comments already on this website.
1.  Refrigerate as soon as you can. Told by the nurse that you DON'T have to take with water. I used strong sweet tea, added chipped ice. Drank as much at a time as I could, then had a cold banana ready and sucked it for a while.  Then continued until finished.
2.  For the 2 16oz  used Ginger Ale for the first 16 oz then Diet Coke . All went well until after I finished the Coke and threw it up. Nurse said OK
3. When bowls started moving use baby wipe, had no rawness
4. Repeated 1st prep except 2 16oz just drank Ginger Ale"


"I've had Nexplanon for a solid month and I'm taking it out...ASAP. I've had horrible depression, constant hunger, extreme fatigue and acne. I'm 26 and switching to a non-hormonal IUD in 3 days. Cannot wait. I have PCOS so I just don't think my body can handle hormones. So this could be a good choice for someone. Just definitely not me."


"A miracle pill! I am 23 years old & I had anxiety since childhood. It exceeded to an extent that I was unable to carry out my daily routine. I visited my therapist and he prescribed me this pill. I was reluctant to take it at first. 1st week was so bad! I could not function well because of nausea & drowsiness. Into the 2nd and 3rd week, drowsiness and nausea subsided but I was concerned about the sexual side-effects. I had trouble maintaining an erection and I could not orgasm at all. Into the 4th week, I experience no side-effects. My orgasms have returned, and they have returned stronger. I can last significantly longer in bed & most of all, my anxiety levels have dropped down to almost non-existent levels. I'm currently in the 5th week."


"I have been taking this for 5 days now and today I have had excessive sweating, hot flashes, and heart palpitations 2 different times."


"A very good medication. I never felt so calm in my entire life. Withdrawals from it do suck though. I take it as needed"


"Horrible drug ! I had a migraine for the full three course time I was suppose to take it. I tried ibuprofen 800mg and that didn't seem to help enough  . I kept having to take another to kill the pain. Seriously yeah it may get rid of your infection but avoid this drug. Also, I ate bread with a yogurt  and my stomach still burned like hell. It felt like there was a ulcer or something . Never taking this again!!!!!!!!!"


"Ventolin is a good product actually it makes me feel relieved whenever asthma hits me, I take 2-3 puffs and after a short span of time,  I can breathe easily already. But I would like a Ventolin that doesn't need to be refilled because it so pricey that sometimes I have to sacrifice some things in order to prevent my asthma from hitting me from time to time. I would really appreciate it if someones innovates this kind of product."


"I always had bumpy, oily, acne-prone skin. I tried everything. I would go to sephora, blue mercury, cvs, you name it, and buy every acne-clearing product they had. Finally, I decided to go to my dermatologist. I tried a clindamycin medication and a Retin A about two months before going on accutane. I had huge cystic acne that was so painful and puffy and red. The clindamycin and Retin A did help, but I still had some pimples, clogged pores and break outs. I was so exhausted with acne that I decided to bite the bullet and go on accutane. I cannot rave enough about the treatment. If you are someone whose acne destroys yourself confidence I recommend accutane. My acne was cleared in 5 days!!!"


"I started Trulicity about a year ago because the medication I was on kept crystalizing and was hard to inject.  I have lost weight about 22 pounds over the course of a year.  The biggest things to get used to were the nausea and the diarrhea but after giving 4 weeks to adjust to the medication my blood sugar does not spike like it used to and I felt better.  I don't have my usual cravings for anything bad for me  but I do have an appetite.  I tell anyone who needs to lose a few pounds and lower blood sugar to stick with it.  It will get better.  I can't complain about the medication.  All anti-diabetic agents cause the stomach issues.  Hang in there."


"With Singulair I don't have to take any inhalers although my doctor tells me I should have them close by just in case. I haven't had to use a rescue inhaler for over 2 years. I don't need a steriod inhaler either. I had an anaphylatic reaction from allergy shots, so oral medicines are the way to go for me. Now I only have to take Allegra and Singulair and I am virtually symptom free after years of frustration and near death."


"I was recommended the Mirena or Errin because they were non hormonal 2 yrs ago. I chose the Mirena and hated it. I decided to end it with that got pregnant with my 2nd child decided to get on another non hormonal because I'm breastfeeding. This time I chose errin and love it the first 2 months I would get 2 periods instead of 1 it is the same length (3-4 days) and flow since I was younger. As of this month (July) I have not had a period."


"Yes, I am type 1 diabetic and I know Trulicity is for type 2; but my endocrinologist felt it was worth a shot (pun intended). My blood sugar was controlled but not very well, I mostly estimated the amount of Novolog I needed for meals and rarely used my glucose meter. I was constantly hungry and snacking, pretty much acting as if I wasn't diabetic. Over the past few years, I watched my A1C go higher as did my weight.
February 14, 2017 I began seeing my new endocrinologist who prescribed Trulicity. She administered my first injection at her office that morning. I'm not sure if it was the Trulicity, but later that evening I began having flu-like symptoms. Since, extremely decreased appetite, lost 20lbs, sugars are great! Love it!"


"Terrible reaction to this medicine. Severe bloating and cramps. At first I just figured it was a side effect and will feel better once it started working the cramps would go away. But it never worked and cramps got really intense after hour 5 hours after drinking Suprep I was considering going to the emergency room. I didn't have fever or feel like vomiting so I decided to stay. But 30 minutes later I felt weak, dizzy, nauseous, had dry month and my jaw was going numb. I went to the ER. After vomiting I felt better. But then had a bought of hiccups that caused further pain from the cramping. My body couldn't handle the medicine. I did fast, I did all that your supposed to do."


"I had pain I my back and my left leg, pain ran down my left leg and there were days I could walk because the pain was so great. Meloxicam was prescribed by a back & spine specialist. I was willing to try anything that would take the pain away. So I took my medicine for the first time and I felt so much better after a few hours. I was so pleased. I had no side affect, I take it every other day and it been working for me."


"I had severe depression when we moved from a house I loved in the country to a smaller house I hated by the river in a little suburb that I'd always detested.  Celexa works.  Most definitely but it works too well.  After being on it for 11 years, I became emotionless.  I had no feelings either way.  It also helped me to put on 50  pounds.  At 61, I decided to stop it.  I weaned my self off by cutting the pills in half, then in quarters, then none.  The side effects are the worst of any medication I've ever experienced....dizziness, SEVERE depression, SEVERE happiness, experiences in my head that I can only describe as "zits" that were instantaneous moments of dizziness or a feeling of a bug "zipping" by your head, fatigue, jitters."


"I do not recommend this pill for anyone in June I started the pill I was only on the pill for 1 week and I collapsed out of nowhere so I went to the hospital and found out I had blood clots in my lungs. I have no history in my family of blood clots and I've never had blood clots before the hospital even said it was from the birth control now I'm on blood thinners for 6 months. Terrible medicine"


"I have been taking Mobic (meloxicam) for 1 month. I had knee surgery in January 08 and could barely walk, the pain was so bad. After my Doctor started me on meloxicam I'm able to walk pretty much pain free. I tried to stop taking it and the pain returned within two day's. I love it - best thing I have taken."


"Lasted 7.5mo started July 2015. First couple months spotted every couple of days and spotty acne started. Period was normal for Sept, but then was non-stop for all four weeks of Oct. Serious acne formed into rough patches all over my face. My hair thinned out to maybe half thickness. Doctor said this is all still normal because it's the first time in 13 years I'm without a daily estrogen dose so it's normal to have pregnancy-like symptoms. Normal period in Nov. Two week period in December, skin improving after help from dermatologist. January I had three separate instances of facial abscesses!! As in dime-sized open infections on my face!! Also, my January period lasted for 6 weeks until I had it removed in February. Awful cramps too!"


"I started taking Adipex in January of 2008.  At that time I weighed 230 lbs.  Today I weigh 170 lbs and still losing. Lost 60 lbs."


"I had the Mirena coil fitted under general anaesthetic as I was in for another procedure. For weeks after having it I could barely walk, I was in so much pain. The pain eventually dulled to the point I could function but I always thought I could feel it stabbing me. I went to my GP to have it removed, after 3 horrendous years and heard the words everyone dreads when seeing a GP who has been practicing for over 30 years...."well I've never seen this before".

When my Mirena coil was fitted, instead of both threads going through the hole in my cervix, one of the treads had literally been stabbed through my actual cervix and had to be cut out."


"Why i give a rating of 6 for xanax and depression: I think the help xanax has to offer is enabling your racing thoughts and anxiety to subside long enough to get the good rest/sleep we need just to feel sane. Subsequently, decreasing depression & overwhelmness in our lives. Good luck to all!"


"I had used another one day Tiacanazole from cvs. It did absolutely nothing. I wanted to try the 1 day over longer period because i couldn't bear the itching while at work. I bought the Monistat 1 and inserted around 3pm yesterday. I looked at all the reviews and prepared to feel intense burning. It never happened. I still had an itch until about 11pm last night but went to sleep and just woke up with no burning or itch. Let's hope the symptoms continue to go away."


"I tried other medications for RA before trying Enbrel and they either did not work for me or had side effects that I couldn't handle. Without Enbrel I would likely be disabled. That said, the cost of this medication without employer-provided insurance is completely unaffordable.The recent changes to the Enbrel Sureclick autoinjector (circa 2016, maybe 2015) are terrible. As another user mentioned below, the button on the old injector would go off easily once it was up against your skin. Now it is harder to push and harder to predict - you can go through several rounds of psyching yourself up for the injection only to have the autoinjector not go off each time. Frustrating!!"


"Today is day 3 on Chantix. I have smoked 1-2 packs per day for 18 years. I have only had 2 cigarettes today and my desire for them has already greatly diminished.  When I think I need one, I just keep thinking of all that I am without it and it helps me through.  My quit date is 8/21 and I really feel that I will have no problem being smoke-free by then.  I am experiencing a few side effects, constipation which I've cured by taking an herbal detox supplement, gas and bloating, some fuzzy feelings, and vivid dreams, which do not seem to bother me.  Today I'm taking over my "smoking porch", repainting it to make it smoke-free, so I do not associate my favorite place in my house with cigarettes. I am so ready to quit!"


"I have a love/hate relationship with NuvaRing. I love that I don't have to worry about a daily pill, light periods, normal moods vs pill, no cramps...almost everything I want! I hate that the ring wants to slip out half the time, painful for me and partner during sex, & decreased sex drive. I plan on switching."


"This amazing device has well and truly changed my life. I used to suffer from extremely heavy periods with cramps and sickness that meant I had to take a minimum of half a day off work a month. I now barely have periods and no longer have to plan my life around those few days each month. I have only given it a 9 because it was pretty painful to insert, otherwise I would have definitely given 10."


"On Pristiq for my Generalized anxiety disorder I felt really positive, stopped wanting to harm myself, felt confident, was able to get to sleep, wanted to have sex, be outgoing, and not have the cyclical bursts of anxiety and rage. I didn't have panic attacks for a while on this medication until I had some situational issues that brought back my depression. As for the side effects, it actually forced me to stop taking the drug. Every night I was sweating PROFUSELY to the point I was waking up shivering and soaked in sweat; you would see an outline of my body from sweat on the sheets when I woke up. I also had EXTREMELY distressing violent nightmares. This occurred in conjunction when my depression came back, so it could be a possible reason for the sweating and night terrors."


"I've been taking this pill for almost a year now (I had never tried any other birth control prior) and I've had no bad side effects. I've never had a problem with weight gain, and I haven't experienced any since I've been on the pill. No unusual mood swings. My skin cleared up dramatically. No terrible cramps anymore and my period has pretty much disappeared! Really wish I would have found this sooner!"


"I am 22 years old and just had my first (beautiful) daughter. I decided to get Mirena when I went in for my 6 week postpartum appointment. I read all the reviews over the product about how horrible it was and how painful the insertion was. I was a little nervous but I knew this was the right birth control for me. I had NO pain what so ever when my OB put it in. It was so easy! I had very light spotting the first hour or so afterwards but none since then! I'm only on day 2 so I'll do a follow up in about 6 months. But as of right now, I'll recommend it!"


"Before the pill I had very very heavy periods, this is my 1st month on this pill and to say it changed my period drastically is an understatement. While I do appreciate that a lot, I have NEVER suffered from so many leg cramps in my life. It's literally 2 legs cramping up in the middle of the night on a nightly basis. It's so painful, posole keep telling me that I need to eat more banana, but this is the only thing that's been different this past month.  They started about a week in to my first pack and have been ever since.  And I agree about the mood swings its really affecting my anxiety and my mood swings are all over the place.  Add my insurance not covering this pill on top of all that. ... I definitely won't be getting back on this thing."


"I've been on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for about 5 years now. It's the first birth control pill that I went on, and I can say without any doubt, that it's the best. My period is so much lighter than from when I was not taking it, it only lasts for about 4-5 days, and I have no cramps or bleeding between periods. I have no side effects regarding a difference in my skin condition or weight, and it never upsets my stomach. I have been very satisfied with Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and have nothing bad to say about it, it's great."


"It cleared me right up, stopped coughing like over night. I am also on methylpredisolone and inhaler."


"I had meniscus tears in both knees almost 20 years ago. I've had knee pain ever since. I had the series of injections about two months ago and my knees felt great for about five weeks. I don't know if it's wearing thin or what, but now I've got more pain than I ever had before the injections and the pain is nearly 24/7. Makes me feel like there's some kind of scam involved, like they know that when it wears off it will be worse due to getting used to less pain for a short time. I do NOT recommend it."


"This has been the worst BC I've been on, mood swings, cramps, terrible headaches, it is a total downer. I've really noticed that I've been less engaged in communication and tired. I've been on it for about 6 months, and it's 6 months too long."


"I just got Liletta removed after giving it a chance for 7 months. I never had an issue with cramps before, but from day 1 on this IUD I had unbearable cramps. After the first few weeks I talked to my doctor who suggested I wait it out, but after 7 months of pain I give up. Within a few minutes of having it removed I experienced relief and am starting to feel normal again. My back pain, abdominal cramps and upper thigh pain disappeared. Everyone's body is different, but I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone. The pain and irregular bleeding are effective birth control because you won't want to have sex anyway. Back to birth control pills for me!"


"I started taking this for Chronic Migraines, and it made them worse."


"48 yr old healthy female, w/ osteoarthritis in 3 places in my back. LOTS of pain, nothing really helping. Decided to give Meloxicam a try, and within a few days a huge difference in the pain, only felt stiff in the mornings.  However, week 2 of taking it ,  and was in bed last night about to fall asleep when I became incredibly dizzy, felt like the bed was spinning and I felt  pretty confused as well.  I haven't been drunk in years, but that's the only thing I can compare the feeling to- been really drunk and going to bed. It was terrible and lasted probably 15 mins. Each time I closed my eyes, the bed was spinning and I became super nauseous, and when my eyes were open everything was spinning as well. Was really scary! Done w/ Meloxicam"


"I only took it for a day before I was bringing up acid and blood"


"I went from severe fibromyalgia post spinal surgery, being bed ridden for the most part of  2010, unable to walk, cook, wash dishes, unable to do simple day to day tasks and now I'm 90% better.  I can do everything!  I haven't felt this good since College, and I have Savella to thank."


"I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in November. My peroxidase antibody was measured at 10 in a reference of 1-59. I asked my doctor to put me on Naturethroud after I could not take synthroid. Synthroid makes my eye twitch constantly. I also went to an autoimmune paleo diet.

I really liked the naturethroid. At first. I lost weight, I felt better. Then something started happening. My hips and shoulders got so stiff that I could barely move. They hurt so bad. I also noticed that a vein on my forehead. I began to also get pinpoint headaches. It just kept getting worse. I went to my doctor and he gave me prednisone shots in my right hip and shoulder. I asked him to switch me to WP thyroid. I was allergic to a filler in the Naturthroid."


"I got my first IUD put in December of 2016. My GYN told me to take some Tylenol before hand which really helped I think. I have never given birth. The insertion felt like an ice pick kind of behind my belly button but that only lasted for about 2 seconds. The whole process was over in about 5 minutes and I just had some minor cramping for the rest of the night. I had been on Depo Provera for 3 years and then off BC entirely for a year and during the entire 4 year span I did not have a period.
Since getting it inserted, I have had no side affects. I lost about 15 lbs, my mood has improved and I still have not had a period. Today, 8/1/17, I did start bleeding though which is strange but I'm sure that it is fine. I love my IUD though."


"I'm one day into week seven and I caught myself smiling and singing on way to work. I wasn't anxious, or nervous. I truly feel like me today, I want to cry Thank you! I feel like a million bucks. The only real side effect I had was nausea. I would have it everyday if I knew I would be me again.  So Happy me today! Yea"


"Klonopin (Clonazepam) is incredible! It saved my life after I took Xanax (Alprazolam)! It was too short-acting. I take 4 - 1mg tablets a day for my Chronic MAJOR Panic Disorder. I also take 1 30mg Restoril (Temazepam) Capsule at bedtime. All of the benzodiazepines work well, but Clonazepam is the safest, most effective, and a real lifesaver! Antidepressants and Herbals did nothing. Clonazepam is "Oldschool", so it's tried and true! IT WORKS! Better than any other anti-anxiety drug! AMAZING!"


"eyes made more blurry, scratchy, gummy.  Lasted for over an hour.  Used samples only, never picked up prescription because I was dissatisfied with eye drops."


"This is my first colonoscopy prep so I have nothing else to compare to. I followed some suggestions that my doctor recommended which helped. I essentially cut out high fiber foods 3 days before - essentially mostly carbs and protein and no veggies or fruit. I chilled the solution beforehand and using a straw - drank 1/4 of it every 10-15 minutes until it was all gone (per my doctor's suggestion) followed by the 32 oz of water. The taste didn't really bother me but not sure if it was b/c I had a lot of lemon-lime flavored Gatorade right before it and still had that taste from that. Started working within 30 min with no pain or cramping. It's doing its job so I can't really complain. There are far worse things!"


"I've tried everything and I mean, EVERYTHING. I have severe OIC and have discovered that I need "hydrating" laxatives. This is the best one I've tried that is reliable and predictable. I take it with lots of water. That's really important otherwise I will cramp and get nauseous. I also take it at night and in the morning after I'm up and moving around for about an hour I will "go". Sometimes in a severe bout of OIC, I may need the larger dose of 4TBL. Just remember... Lots of water with this. Good luck!"


"I've been on this for almost two months now and in my short experience it has done wonders.  My old periods would cause severe cramps, nausea, vomiting, periods lasting up to 16 days, and horrible mood swings.  For roughly the two weeks around my period I was so sad and honestly thought there was something wrong with me.  But now my periods (so far) are short, almost painless, and no vomiting.  My mood swings have toned down so much I forgot what it was like to be this calm.  The only issue I find is I have gained fat (but not weight??) as I've eaten more so that really is my own fault.  And I have very tender, dense, sore breasts that I can't sleep on my stomach anymore.  But this definitely isn't as bad as how I used to be so very good!"


"I was having extreme pain, everyone said to get all the AZO bladder med stuff, but I also got this one. Turned out it was the only one that worked!!! But, it only lasted short-term and I had a severe case. It's a "until you get to the doctor" med. If you're resorting to these, you've got doctor worthy problems."


"Oct-2012, Had colectomy with anastimosis because muscle and nerves had stopped working on colon and I let it go too long because nothing helped.  If only I had this few years ago before I gave up hope.  Praying it will save small intestine that's left.  As a Plus, it takes the 8  pain from irritable bowel syndrome flare down to a livable life.  Maximum dose.  If I didn't have a Fibromyalgia flare & lesions formed inside I'd be perfect.  Gives me hope & gives hope to many who were losing options.   Did have to Fight Blue Cross to cover but hey realized it was cheaper than many ER visits for pain & constipation.  Makes life easier. Thank You for helping me get my life back. Had almost given up."


"Took about a month to kick in, but once it kicked in it was like night and day! I was in a bad way, bad liver issues which just exacerbated my IBS. I can eat and drink what I want now, my sleeping patterns are better, I'm more relaxed, and just happier! Gastro doc put me on 50mg a day at night. What a relief it is to not have to worry about IBS dominating my life!"


"I have been on trazodone for years to help with my anxiety and insomnia. I've had to increase my dosage because at first it wasn't working very well and my doctor recommended I increase my dosage or started taking 1 pill and a half of another. This medicine works for me 85% of the time, there are still many sleepless nights and anxiety outbreaks, but it does help. I stopped taking it for a few days and my anxiety levels were through the roof, so I guess this means it helps."


"About 45 min after I took 1 mg.   I was laying in bed and started shaking uncontrolled, my heart beat would intermediately race, with sweating. I did this for about an hour and a half then my fingers twitched for a while. It did the opposite, And kept me up! My Dr. told me that I had the less common adverse effects and not to take any more Lunesta."


"Used Gabapentin 300mg 2X/ day(7am and 2pm) and 600mg at bedtime. Helped relieve some pain from herniated discs. 600mg at night occasionally would make me feel "drunk".  After using it for a few months and having constant migraine, I stopped use. No more headaches since I stopped using it."


"I have had treatment-resistant depression for 20 years and have tried Zoloft, Prozac, Effexor, Paxil, Celexa, Wellbutrin, Lexapro and Viibryd.  Lexapro (20 mg) and Wellbutrin (300mg XL) seem to work best but even with talk therapy, good diet and exercise I still have never achieved full remission.  After my psych doctor retired, I switched to another who had me tested for MTHFR mutations and started me on 15mg of Deplin. Within 7 days I felt better than I could ever remember - it was like a light switch!  Test results showed I am homozygous for the C677T MTHFR mutation.  I stopped taking Deplin after some agitation & anxiety started; I restarted on a lower dose before ramping up to 15 again.  I have yet to see the same improvement after 3 weeks."


"I heard alot of people trying this for acne & breaking out, so I was apprehensive. I don't have acne anymore...I used to have perioral dermatitus (acne around the mouth) which I got anibiotics for and its now gone, but my problem is aging and damage to my skin for the sun because I used department store serums (Lancome Primordial Intense) outside, which gave me a precancerous mole and a red spot and faintlydark patch on my cheek. After just two nights of use my skin looks noticably better. It is not greasy, it feels more like putting hand sanitiser on your face, like theres alcohol in the gel, it drys quick and can make your skin dry so use like sunflower, rose hip, or a natural non pore clogging oil to clean and moisterise ur face."


"I'm 18 and I've had mild to moderate acne including pimples, small bumps on my forehead and cheeks. I finally decided I had enough and was prescribed Epiduo.  The first night I only put it on for a couple hours and the following nights I put it on every other night. During the middle of week two, my skin became very sensitive, started to peel like a sunburn and my face was slightly swollen. I patted on Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and Cortisone 10 on the more severe parts for two days straight all day. I also put a cold towel on my face which helped a lot. It hurt, but it got better. Just be patient. I'm on week three and my skin is almost clear! Overall, this stuff really works, but patience is very important."


"Lots of bloating- gas and very bad stomach distention. I just stopped and I am starting to feel better."


"This cream worked really good and started clearing my face in a week or two. But now, anytime I go outside and have ANY sun contact, my face burns, gets blotchy and looks swollen. I hate it, I have to stay inside all day if I apply it."


"I have been using Seasonique for a little over a year now. The first month and a half on Seasonique is great but then the spotting starts. For the past 2 1/2 weeks on the last pack I have been bleeding. It has given me acne and very painful cramps. I am switching to another birth control."


"I hate hate hate this drug. The weight gain is horrible and no matter what you do like eat healthy, or go to the gym it will not shed. I've had it for 5 months and im getting it removed in a couple of days. One thing I can say is you will not get pregnant but the side effects are too much to deal with. My personal side effects are weight gain, headaches, diarrhea, and sore boobs all the time. Please don't get this drug."


"No lessening of pain in legs."


"A little known and rare side effect of this drug is a condition that would probably be called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). This describes a serious depletion of platelets in the blood. The blood will not clot properly and an injury can be life threatening due to uncontrolled bleeding. It's rare but if it happens and the cause is not figured out by your physician(s) this is a big problem."


"I have been on Belviq for 1 week and 1 day.  Day 1 was just awful. I felt "stoned", dizzy, brain fog, tight chest, extremely tired. The positive: virtually instantaneous appetite suppression, and more than that - a feeling of satisfaction after eating only a fraction of what I normally ate. So I decided to play out the side effects and see if they went away.  Each day was a little better than the last. By day 4 I was feeling mostly normal - more like a benedryl fog than a stoned feeling now.  Other side effects were a mild cough, some ear/jaw pain, sneezing fits and general weirdness. It is mostly gone now and I am down 3lbs. Glad I stuck with it. I am in it for the long haul. I desperately want to be one of those before and after people!"


"I have had the mirena for about 1 and 1/2 years now. I bleed more days than not. I have weird pains I have never had until this was inserted. My hip hurts during ovulation and during my cycle. My bleeding is down to a light tampon amount which is a big change. I could go thru a super plus sometimes in 20 minutes. Overall it has helped make it lighter but it lasts a lot longer. Not sure if it is worth it or just find out the reason your periods are so out of control."


"Got the Nexplanon at the end of November 2013. Got my cycle in December it was light and minor cramps. I did start to see that I didn't have a lot of energy, didn't want to do much of anything but stuff my face and stay in bed and I was a little bit moody. I didn't get my cycle for a month and a half then got it at the end of Feb. Had it for a week then stopped but spotted then period came back for another week and still had some spotting and now I still have it. Its about 10 days. I got the Nexplanon due to having bad cramps, I feel nothing which is amazing. Now, my skin is clearer, I don't have mood swings anymore. I do have energy and I have been eating everything in sight (for me is good because I'm slender)."


"After a few days on Nuvigil (after experiencing Provigil) I found it to be excellent for my ADHD.  Provigil made me feel anxious all day to the point I could not run or workout in comfort.  The first day on Nuvigil was the only day I had this feeling.

The side effects for me are dry mouth and suppressed appetite.  It is so nice to be focused.  The worst effect was muscle weakness! I went from running 7 miles to not being about to run more then 7 minutes. "


"Vitussin and other medication containing guifenicin are very effective in relieving congestion as an expectorant. Vitussin also relaxes muscle tension in the chest from cough and aids in getting productive sleep. Very useful during viral sinus and other cold-like infections."


"I had the MIrena inserted due to heavy periods related to fibroids. The insertion was very painful but I was okay afterwards. I spotted for 3 days and then was clear but when I got my next period, I had big blood clots that I didn't have before. I don't know if the Mirena caused it or my condition was getting worse. The 2nd month it was worse. An ultrasound was done and it had shifted and got embedded in the uterus, but my doctor said the medication inside should still work. I got fed up and asked her to take it out. I got a period 2nd time that month after removal. Maybe I didn't give it enough time."


"I have used this Pen 5 months and so far I have more energy, sugars lower.  Feel better overall.

A little bleeding from injection, but I can live with that.  AIC pending but I know it will be much better.

Definitely worth a try."


"Took Augmentin for one day and had skin reaction, very red and itchy, not pleasent at all."


"I was ready for the nut house, when finally diagnosed with narcolepsy.  I would need to take a 10-15 min nap every 45 min.  I would start feeling like throwing up and fainting.  I had losed my ability to function, think or anything else. I could not drive, as I would nod out constantly, within the first mile.  I could not even do basic thought process like addition/subtraction in my head.  After the first dose, I felt immediately better.  I could make it thru a normal day, without falling asleep.  Even better, my thought process came back.  I could figure things out, understand things.  and I could drive without nodding out.  I have been on this for a year. same dosage, I stop for a day or two every 3 mths. as instructions say."


"Do not take this medicine unless you like heart burn , vomiting and diarrhea terrible product......."


"Since 2006 I have been on some sort of med for my depression or what my family doctor thought was depression. First med was Lexapro and boy did it send me into a manic stage. Never felt so high in my life, a cloud was lifted. That drug worked for a while but soon after it lost its effectiveness. Tried about every SSRI on the market until we ran out and at that point I did not want to live anymore. Family dr sent me to a psychiatric hospital in which I saw my first pyschiatrist who said my OCD was the root of my depression so he put me on Luvox along with my Klonopin. After a while I seemed better but not for long. Been on Depakote ER 1000MG ever since and everything seems fine, except weight gain. Mood better."


"I spotted every day for the first two weeks on Falmina. And then it happened-I began to hemorrhage. This went on for 24 hours. Clots the size of golf balls began falling out of me every hour. I had to create makeshift diapers with my towels. I had to admit myself into express care early Saturday morning after a full night of no sleep due to such heavy bleeding. I have given birth and thought there was a lot of bleeding afterward. That was nothing compared to this. They gave me a pregnancy test in case it was a miscarriage, but it wasn't. It was just a nightmarish side effect of the birth control. They had to put me on something to stop the bleeding. It was a horrible experience and one I hope none of you has to endure."


"4 tablets only taken then I ended up in A&E with awful side effects including palpitations, much higher bp than before I took them, headaches, rash, feeling really ill. A&E doctor recommended stopping immediately  - I had the day before!  5 days after last pill and I'm still shaky, suffering tiredness, aware of heart beats and high bp - not at all happy with bp meds - I previously was prescribed Andipole or something similar ?  Only one of those and I suffered stomach cramps,  palpitations,  bloated belly, plus cough etc - these meds can be very dangerous and I'm refusing to try anymore but am taking even more exercise,  eating healthy & hoping to reduce bp the natural way although hospital doctor didn't really think I needed themanyway!!"


"Hi everyone ! I started contrave may 21 2015 and so far have lost 6 pounds . I haven't had any nausea or vomiting but the diaheria is a bit annoying . It's totally bearable though . The reason I started this drug is because I gained thirty pounds ever since the love of my life passed and I can honestly say I feel like it's saving my life . The bupropion gives me life but I don't know if it's the Narxelone that makes me a little sleep after taking it . I'm a 20 year old male 6ft and weigh 200 pounds , and I can honestly say I'm feeling more and more confident as the days pass ! Insurance companies don't know much about it , so get that savings card!!"


"I've been struggling with an eating disorder and weight loss for years!  Not eating all day, binging, and getting rid of it all. I was put on topamax to attempt to get rid of these urges. The first week in topomax I was on 25mg in the morning and 25mg at night and had minimal side effects and no effect on my appetite and no weight loss . I did however have bad diarrhea and was a bit 'slow' I bumped it up to 50mg morning and 50mg night the next week with the same results, but no side effects ( felt like I was taking sugar pills) Feeling annoyed.... the next week I bumped it up to 100mg am and 100mg  pm and I was amazed!!  Immediately my cravings for sweets went away completely! I did not want to binge! Now I'm eating small healthy meals and losing weight! Love it"


"On week 8. I've been fighting obesity since 12 years old. I'm 67 now. Finally a drug that actually helps and is effective. I've gone from 192-178. Two years ago I lost 40 pounds and it was creeping back up.  Contrave curbs my cravings and decreases my appetite. I eat under 1400 a day and exercise 4-5 times a week.  Not only am I losing, I'm losing in the right places. Side effects are some nausea but that just tells me to eat a little protein and the dry mouth and shakes. I do take other rx that cause that too. I pay $205 per month because I'm on Medicare. Which makes no sense to me. So I buy fewer groceries and set aside savings for Contrave.  Love it."


"I am in my early 50's and was diagnosed with Allergy Asthma in June last year.  I had bought a puppy and have a cat.  I was tested for allergies and they tested positive to tree and grass pollens, cat and mainly the dog.  I could barely breathe, coughed constantly and wheezed.  I couldn't even walk upstairs without panting and wheezing.   I was on two different inhalers and anti allergy tablets.
After my third course of steroid tablets I was put on Montelukast and also Seratide Evohaler.  I have been on this medication. I feel totally normal again and, more importantly, I am able to keep my dog!"


"I have 3 daughters and 2 of them had this bar implanted and both have bleed for over 3 months.  The statistic that 1 out of every 10 woman might bleed is a LIE!  Everyone I have spoken with that has used this has had it removed due to continuous bleeding.  I DO NOT suggest using this type of birth control."


"I've taken this pill for about 2 years. My doctor first tried to start me on a pill that was weaker, but it just didn't work. Since I've been on this pill, my period comes very regularly, (I start the 7 green pills on Friday, it comes on Monday morning) my acne is good except on the period week. I haven't let my boyfriend "let go" in me yet, so I don't know if it keeps the babies away."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"I get seizures with allergic reactions from Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), but I didn't when I first took this drug in 2016. Lots of goosebumps, tingling, tight scalp, chills, shivering, and felt like a zombie, though. Became a different person- dissociated, honestly. That'd never happened to me before, was so afraid. Doctor made me try again, seized the entire time and the tingling burned so bad it felt like I was on fire. Got bradycardic within 2 hours of taking it, too. I get brady sometimes as it is (my heart rate was at 30 the other day) so this medication wasn't a good idea in the first place. Bad call on my doctor's part and bad call on mine for even listening to him."


"I was on Sprintec for 4 years. For the first 2 years I had no problems, but then I got sick and I think my body changed after that. I became irritable/depressed, no libido at all, and my face began to break out when I've never had skin problems. I am starting to believe that the pill is making me feel this way. As far as preventing pregnancy it's great, I've missed a day or 2 and have never had any problems. I am switching and hoping that helps"


"I'm new to this medication. I notice my fluttering and pounding heart wakes me up, I'm slightly dizzy even when sitting still or lying down, a few days I've had terrible heartburn, some nausea so strong that I took Nauzene and tums with some relief, icepick stabbing headache, headache around my temples that's not relieved by relaxation or aspirin or drinking a lot of water and is relieved somewhat with Aleve, tinnitis, trouble staying asleep even though I keep my normal schedule and use my normal melatonin. I've been kind of sleepy, maybe due to waking up with the other issues. These symptoms are all uncommon for me and obviously caused by the pills. On the positive side I seem to be less moody and anxious than I was getting before."


"Very quick and effective."


"I had been using Tri-Sprintec for about 8 months before switching. While taking this birth control I became a complete nutcase. My emotions were a constant roller coaster, I developed severe anxiety, and I couldn't understand why I was always depressed. The smallest things brought me to tears and I was not in the least bit acting myself. After 8 months of feeling like a looney bin my doctor and I discussed my birth control. Little did I know that it had 3 estrogen levels that increase over the month which he said could definitely be responsible for my 8 months of sudden anxiety and increased emotions. My doctor switched me to Junel Fe, which has the lowest possible level of estrogen, it has been a month and I finally feel like myself again."


"My doctor had switched me to to Trinessa (as it was completely covered by my insurance) about 2 years ago. It cleaned up my acne gave me soft beautiful skin. Light periods. And my cramps went away. But about 6 month ago I noticed I was getting pimples at the time of my period. No big deal because the went away at the end of my period. However the last couple of months I've had really bad breakouts on my chin and they are not going away! I guess every good thing comes to an end"


"I have suffered like many others for years with rubbish skin.  Had every steriod under the sun but wanted to try and stop the problem from happening in the first place.  I was prescribed Protopic.  Yes, at first it burns like hell, but that to me is it working and I suffer it.  As I continue to use it this burning doesn't happen and it has left me with lovely skin.  I have found however that I did not apply on the Thursday and had some alcohol on the Friday thinking the cream would be out of my system, but definately not!  My face became very flushed when I started drinking but then calmed down.  My eyelids and area around the eye was completely swollen the following morning and has just got worse....will need to monitor this."


"I got my nexplanon inserted Sept. 16th, 3 days after having my son. I'm not sure if these bad side effects I'm having are from the implant or postpartum stuff still. No bleeding anymore, but having a horrible foul discharge daily along with irritation and dryness. I thought it could still be post partum lochia , but now I'm not sure reading that a side effect from nexplanon could be vaginitis. Also am noticing headaches and breakouts more than usual. If this continues, I will NOT continue this method. So far not so good."


"I was nervous taking this med after reading negative reviews but, after a rough first week that included nausea (quelled by taking Dramamine) a nasty headache, having my face break out (I am 46 and do NOT get break outs), and then break through bleeding...everything calmed and I've loved the medicine ever since.  All the original side effects went right away and my period was extremely light and short...love it.  Glad my Dr convinced me to stick with it because I almost quit taking it."


"Works well for my cystic acne. Non drying. Also have noticed that it has helped to even out my skin tone."


"I had to come home early from work, thought I needed the ER. Called my sis and she said to try Uricalm first.

SOOOO glad I took her advice. I went from fetal position with nausea and pain to almost complete relief in less than an hour. LESS THAN AN HOUR! I've never written a review for anything in my life, but this was beyond amazing that I couldn't help but pass this along to fellow hurting mamas.

I'm still cranberrying and antibiotic-ing it up but my symptoms have totally subsided. From tears to cheers!! I'm in total disbelief! (Hahaha I sound like an infomercial, but I promise I'm real!! ;) good luck!!"


"I am taking Spasmex for two weeks which is same as Sanctura (Trospium Chloride), I am feeling much better. I can tolerate all side effects except the fatigue and weakness that I am having in my legs. I cannot walk for a distance as I have to find a seat to rest my legs for a while. My doctor asked to reduce the dose but that did not help as my bladder turned overactive again. Now I am back with the same prescribed dose and will wait and see whether the side effects will go or I may ask to my Dr. to change the medicine if I couldn't tolerate my leg and muscle issue."


"A 57 y/o highly skilled mental health executive, usually patient and steady. I'd become increasingly fatigued, short-fused at work/home. Started Budeprion a month ago. First 3 days 150 mg, then 150 2xday. Side effect - nausea. Cut back for a week to 150 once p/day. Up to 300 a week later. No nausea. Still moderately fatigued but enjoying exercise again. I'm no longer dismissing my stressors as part of life. I%u2019m laying boundaries, which in itself is a stressor. I had an outburst this week at work due to disgust with unacceptable volume of work. But I vented in a safe place. I have confidence in myself, employer and family (whose expectations have been unreasonable) that the adjustment will have a positive outcome."


"I started taking it 8 days ago.. I started to feel a little better each day. I did have nausea the first day. i noticed that when i get excited or run around too fast working, i get a little nausea..but not too bad and it passes when I calm myself. I'm very happy with the way it's working. oh, and taking 10mg."


"This is a really good way to shrink your tummy, control your portions, and best part is if you use it on and off you don't form a habit, and you will see how your mind senses when its time to stop eating, and you don't have the binge eating - its fantastic, I've used it for 12 weeks on and off about 50 pills and lost 23 lbs .. eating, exercising and not cutting out foods I love."


"I just got this placed on Oct 1, 2015 and I haven't bled until today, we'll see how long it lasts. I have had numbing migraines every day since implantation though and my postpartum depression meds are failing and I have no emotion most days and feel better just sleeping all day and add no sex drive either.  It sucks, I want it out, but I don't wanna take a pill..."


"I've been on the patch for a few months now and I love it. It is way easier to remember to switch than taking the pill everyday, I was horrible with it. The only downside I noticed was that my energy level went down a bit but nothing crazy. I normally get heavy very painful periods and this has helped a lot with it. I have never had an issue with the patch coming off just make sure the skin is clean. It does get a little dirty which I don't like."


"I have adult adhd and major depression. I have taken Adderall for the past 4 years and suffered from drop off in the evening. I tried Lexapro, Wellbutrin, and Cymbalta, and Effexor. Pristiq is by far the best and has made a significant improvement in the quality of my life."


"Been on this medicine for a month now and have lost 10lbs. I'm very excited and can't wait to lose more."


"I have been taking Nuvigil for a week and every day I get headaches and my eyes are sensitive to light. Overall I love feeling back to normal and not tired all the time. I have tried cutting my pills in 1/2 and 1/4s to stop the side effects no luck."


"I was put on Accutane when I was 16 after using every acne medication the doctors prescribed and everything over the counter. Immediately I noticed a difference and my self esteem soared. I think I did the best one can do on it. The only thing I noticed was my lips got dry quicker, but I just carried Chapstick with me. It was my miracle drug and I couldn't thank my parents enough for putting me on it.

I'm 23 now and I get an occasional breakout here and there but it's not cystic and painful anymore, it's 2 or 3 pimples. I recommend it to anyone who is sick of their embarrassing acne."


"Had great results with this medicine."


"I've been on 75mg for 5 months. I slowly started to feel normal and before I knew it, within 2 months. Had a huge breakthrough. I was no longer having panic attacks. What I like about Zoloft is that it makes me feel like me. Not a drugged up version of me. I had a few side effects like loss of appetite, insomnia but all in all, I feel a lot better."


"Let me break it down really simply, Tramadol is an excellent pain reliever but is addictive! DO NOT take this medication through pregnancy.  Wean off of it before you give birth and let your baby withdraw in utero. My son was in withdrawal for 10 weeks and I never told the Doctor I took the drug, so no one knew what was wrong with him.  He didn't sleep, trembled, and cried for 8-10 weeks straight.  He has no developmental delay or physical impairments, but the first 2 1/2 months of his life were brutal.  Wean off, please!"


"I was on Methotrexate and Sulfasalazine for my RA for several years.  I have now received 2 infusions of Simponi with my third one the end of 11/16. The only improvement I saw was after the first infusion which helped with my stiffness.  I am still suffering with the pain and returning of stiffness. Also, my feet are really bad now. Does Simponi just not work for some people?"


"As I had only started 6 days ago I expected this to be a more easy going time, read all the labels, making sure everything was alright. Durring most if not all of those 6 days I became very dreary, tired, and deadlike not wanting to do anything. The pill slightly helped my acne, but did not prevent new acne from coming. Durring the pill I experienced weird heat and then ice like needle feelings around my ovaries, but that was only for thr first 2 days. As I proceeded with the pill when I sat or walked, not while I was laying down I would experience this sharp pain around my heart, I was thinking it could be high blood pressure I checked it isnt, im worried it might be a blood clot so I need go check for now I am going off the pill."


"The doctor put me on Ogestrel because I made the mistake of telling him that my period never started when the white pills started on my previous birth control. However they did come every month so it wasn't a big deal to me. He put me Ogestrel because it was the highest dose to give. After the first month I thought I was going crazy. I had absolutely NO control over my emotions. Not to mention it led to constant chest pains. I have a mitrovalve prolapse. Most birth controls says not to take it if you have a valve problem but I've been on them since I was 16 and never had any problems. My fiance and my mom couldn't stand my rapid changing emotions and she told me I don't care what the doctor says COME OFF THEM. No problems since I changed back to my old one."


"First off the pill form is super convenient and leaves no mess behind. I did experience a slight headache however, i will take anything over the messy cremes."


"It hid hard and fast and took me completely by surprise when I found myself dealing with vomiting and stuff uncontrollably exiting through the other end at the very same time. A five day prescription of Zofran from my doctor took care of everything quickly and with no side effects. Thank goodness for Zofran!"


"I do love the fact that I do not have to take a pill everyday with Nuvaring but my side effects are horrible. Major rash started on my face about a month ago and now its all over my body. I only linked it to Nuvaring now. Plus I have nausea and painful cramps. "


"I just started taking this medication but still have the cravings for alcohol. I don't drink all day due to being a college student but as soon as I'm done for the day I stop for liquor on the way home and also for beer. I've been drinking heavily for over 8+ years and a bottle of liquor will last me about a day or two if any, I've been hospitalized for my drinking, but still I don't get a fear of being hospitalized again. I need to lower my consumption to just a couple of beers and just on certain days, not have it be a daily crutch."


"Novask like all meds have side affects works great on me..lowered my stubborn pressure from 238/110 down to 140/90 in 4weeks. Its very effective. I found that taking 5mg in the am and 5mg at night are more effective with less side effects

No results on lopressor after a year on that stuff. .bad side effects."


"I know everyone reacts differently to medications and etc. I almost went to the ER, that's how terribly painful it was. My vagina swelled up so bad after 6 hours, it felt like a tennis ball between my legs. I was itching and burning at the same time and it was worst than the usual yeast infection. I instantly thought to myself this is not normal. I assumed that it was the monistat 1 complete therapy that caused it to react the way it did. I thought I was just allergic to it or maybe it was too much dose for my body to take at one time. I also started to feel aches in my uterus and back pains, almost felt like braxtion hicks contraction. I know I wasn't pregnant because I'm on birth control pills and I never miss a dose."


"I had a rebate so I was able to get Epiduo for $35 instead of $60 prescription co pay. I was pleased with how well the samples my doctor gave me. I had originally gone in to have some moles removed and he asked why at 27 I was still breaking out. I was like "you tell me. You're the dermatologist." Epiduo isn't as drying as the other acne creams I tried as a teenager and I'm pleased with my results. I'm especially pleased that two very determined blackheads I've had for years are both, as of today, gone. I would definitely recommend Epiduo."


"I have suffered migraines maybe 4 times a year or so since I was little. Usually accompanied by vomiting and complete inability to function. The past two years, after having my second daughter, the migraines have amped up to 3 or 4 a month- sometimes more. Imitrex works almost always to eliminate the migraine. Every once in awhile I wait too long and have to take two. I have no side effects to speak of which is crazy to me because I can't even use herbal remedies without experiencing weird side effects. I'm thankful for the scientists who created this drug. I always have it with me just in case and it keeps me from being out for the count with my two little girls."


"I had my last injection 2 weeks ago(series of 3) I feel no change. I still have pain, hard to walk, go up and down stairs. Dr. said it will take a while for it to work. How long is awhile? He said they can repeat the procedure after 6 months. He has said I will need a knee replacement so why waste time and money getting the shots when they do not help. I should have went for the replacement vs shots and still having pain. I had part of meniscus removed and dr said the arthritis is really bad now in my knee and no more cartilage left."


"So I started this birth control to help with my periods and my acne, as both my dermatologist and doctor recommended it. The first three months my period got all messed up, from going from medium flow to kinda heavy. Then the next 6 months it was pretty light, with 3-4 days of light bleeding and one heavy day. But now, for the past 2 months its gone back to being heavier than usual. But I have noticed that it helps with the cramps, but my PMS sucks really bad & my anxiety has gotten really bad. My PMS usually consists of mood swings, bloating, and nausea. But if you are sexually active, make sure to take it the same time everyday!!!"


"I really like it. The only thing about the Ritalin is that you get a slight rush and then it seems to wear off before it should. My dosage was doubled and that seemed to work out a lot better. It truly does the job as I don't fall asleep all the time."


"I took ONE pill in the morning and had severe anxiety, insomnia and hallucinations in the evening and throughout the night. I have never experienced any of these issues before - either with medicines or without - and it is very scary to me that one tiny pill affected me so dramatically."


"Great product! I have excessive sweating and it really worked for me ...."


"The citalopram finally made me start feeling less depressed. I was put on a low dose of 10mg daily along with bupropion. They work really well together, but sadly I couldn't afford to keep taking the bupropion."


"I have been on Tri-Sprintec for 8 years now (I'm 24 years old) to help regulate my irregular hormone levels due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  I have not had any side effects of the pill...well, maybe some mood swings, but nothing that wouldn't be caused by that time of the month already!  I have gained a considerable amount of weight since I have been on this particular birth control (approximately 50 pounds), but that is the only real issue.  I have been regular for the past 8 years, down to the exact day and almost time of the day so there are no surprises.  Everyone's body reacts differently to medications, I'm pleased that this birth control did the job for me!"


"I started on Lexapro about a week ago, and I'll give an update later but so far... WOW! Let me begin by adding that I'm pregnant in my 3rd trimester and I've had PTSD, severe anxiety, and depression for several years now.

I heard a lot of warnings about the first few weeks, the side effects that may occur, and might I just say I'm lucky enough to have only one of them. That side effect being dry mouth which only lasts about an hour or 2 after taking it.

I take 50mg of Lexapro every night before bed and I feel so much better already. The tension I had previously felt In my chest is gone and I feel like I imagine a normal personal is supposed to feel. I used to be scared to go check my mail, but now I have no problems in public."


"Completely changed my life.  Not a single outbreak while on Valtrex.  Went off it just to see how I would do without & have had 2 very painful outbreaks."


"Honestly the best birth control i've been on.  I had to switch from the pill to the shot due to medications I am on and I have had no problems with this birth control.  Of course I gained a couple pounds but thats just a given.  I gained maybe five pounds so nothing drastic.  Will continue to use!"


"I went to the doctors about my acne and she prescribed me this gel. I used it on my face the first night I got it and it was fine, woke up with a few red patches but overall thought it worked well, applied it on the second night and I woke up to severe redness and itchiness on my face as well as big dry patches on my cheeks, chin and forehead. Turns out I had an allergic reaction to this gel which has left my sensitive skin unbearable to look at. It has caused my eyes to swell up and itching still persists."


"I have had interstitial cystitis my entire life. I had very painful periods and always felt uncomfortable. I started this wonderful medicine and the pain has stopped. I don't hurt anymore. Take as soon as you wake up 1 hour before you eat! Works best this way!"


"Amazing. No noticeable effect on one 0.1mg, but docs doubled dose to 2tablets ie 0.2mg and it's amazing. Can sit up, walk, and haven't fainted since 0.2mg started. Trialed going to 0.1mg and a day and a half later, was back to dizzy, faint, tachy etc."


"Our son has been on focalin xr for about 3 months. He was on regular focalin for 2 months previous to the xr, but because the medication would wear off so quickly, it was like he was on an emotional roller coaster. The xr has been better for those reasons. I still struggle with having my son on medication and the fact that his appetite is so little while on the medicine. But I'm happy to report he's doing well in school and cooperating. I don't like that he seems so serious when he's on the medicine because I don't want a little robot. But I can't have my son be so impulsive and unsafe. I also don't like that the medication wears off right around the time he gets home and he tantrums and acts terrible and all I do is correct behavior."


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


"Was on 20mg dose and OK for a couple of years but by then I had put on 2 stone in weight then I started getting other side effects I put up with it for another 3 years but I had to come off it as to the problems I was getting eg. not eating properly sleep problems, mouth ulcers etc.  I was put on sulphasalozine and lasted for three weeks and that did make me ill,"


"I have had it all basically. Had a manic episode in 2009, and then a repeat in 2011, but not as severe. I was okay before that had had no problems with anything maybe a little anxiety. Now that I am older and on my own most days I've had some pretty rocky months, and I was concerned and a bit frightened that the depression would rip me up. I was hesitant to try it because I take Ativan during the day. My doctor suggested Abilify. I have bipolar as well and can't take any antidepressants. He told me to start with a quarter for a week, and really thought it wouldn't work. It was a miracle. I then started taking 2mg at night and have been noticing I've been waking up earlier. Doing things that I would hold off till 3pm. Wonderful."


"I finally got Nexplanon removed yesterday and was so happy. I thought this was going to regulate my periods but I only had 1 out of the 6 months. I had discomfort in the arm that it was in whenever I lifted something heavy and when I checked my blood pressure. I found out from my primary Dr that I was 20% more likely to not have a period, have higher cholesterol and gain weight while on Nexplanon. My blood pressure is higher now and now I'm going to start on the pill again. I'm just so happy it's out!"


"I've had a seizure disorder for 10 years but hadn't had a tonic-clonic in about 6 years, so I've been off Lyrica for a year. I have GAD, PTSD & minor depression-but the massive anxiety nearly killed me, I had become borderline agoraphobic, could not slow my heart down, lost 90lbs in 2 yrs-really thought I was dying & actually reached the point of being ok with death as long as the anxiety stopped. I've been on benzos for years, but need to get off. I was admitted to the hospital for chest pains and mid Ativan push, had a t-c seizure. Enter Lamictal. Today is day one. My heart rate is normal. The bald eagles/vultures in my stomach (not butterflies) are gone. I feel more relaxed than I can ever remember. Fearless. Thank God."


"After trying almost everything to treat my sudden/severe cystic acne (diet changes, topical and internal antibiotics, regular aesthetician visits, other birth controls) this is the ONLY thing that has worked. My acne was isolated to where a man would grow a beard which indicated I had higher than normal testosterone levels. No initial breakout either! Within the first month, I noticed less breaking out. I broke out during my first period, but I'm in month two and my skin is almost totally clear of active breakouts and no cysts! Seriously a miracle, this medication saved my sanity, social life and self esteem. It costs me $85/month with no insurance but worth it. Still experiencing spotting but it should dissipate after a few more pill packs."


"The nexplanon caused me infertility. I got it removed 08MAY17 and I had to get labs done today. And I have to take pills to stop a period because I've had a period twice this month so heavy I had to buy super tampons for the first time ever. And for three months after taking the nexplanon out I had pregnancy symptoms so serve it would make anyone not want to be pregnant. It's been horrible, never get the nexplanon!"


"I have been taken this pill since the diagnostic of an advanced osteoporosis in my body, April 2015. I'm 42, I was very sad, and worry reading some reviews. I really don't feel any side effects."


"Absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it. I never used to talk to anyone and as soon as I started Zoloft I made so many new friends and I actually talk to people! Instead of sitting in my room being depressed and having anxiety attacks. It really works."


"I have had type 2 diabetes for 16 years. I have had relativity good  control with my numbers EXCEPT with my fasting blood sugars. No matter what I did, my fasting numbers were always between 180 and 220! Even when I was on an insulin pump my fasting numbers were between 150 and 170. I had to stop using the insulin pump due to "affordable" health care. My doctor prescribed me Jardiance about a month and half ago and all I can say is WOW! This is what I have been needing! My fasting blood sugars are now between 90 and 120! and my daytime numbers have held steady in that range as well! Granted, I still have to use bolus and basal insulin, but Jardiance has seemed to make my insulin SO MUCH more effective. Also no side effects with me."


"One month post-insertion:
Cramps are not bad. They come and go and they’re not an everyday thing.
I did not really bleed in the beginning. But sex is a little uncomfortable now. Mostly because of the pain that I felt from the IUD is giving me PTSD, but it doesn’t feel as comfortable anymore. The strings did scare him when he felt them the first time, but he fine afterwards. I did not have a numbing shot, prior to insertion, also. It’s around the time to start my period and I’m bleeding heavily now. But it also comes and goes. Having an IUD at the age of 20 is such a weird thing."


"I never once in forty years even tried to quit smoking. I recently had a c5 c6 c7 neck fusion. The bones have not healed due to my smoking. My dr advised me to try Chantix. So I took my start week pills. On the eighth day threw them out. I'm one month smoke free. Which I think is a miracle. No side effects at all. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to quit."


"Honestly, this was the worst birth control I have ever taken or even heard about. I had it in for 10 months and of those 10 I bled for 8 months. 7 months of those 8 were straight bleeding. I would spot for a day a month and then after that it would go right back into a full period. I also experienced fatigue, low sex drive, and depression. Make sure you consider the side effects!!!"


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


"Well been on this a week
25 mg once a day at bedtime then will go to two tablets a day . One in am one at bed . No side effects at all yet .I  hope this kicks in soon . I take wellbutrin for 10 yrs now . 150 mg a day and venlafaxine 150 mg a day -
I hope this new med kicks in soon. Seems pretty tame . I hope to feel better soon !!!"


"I had 3-10 mg tabs in a day. By the third pill my throat was swelling, hives had appeared, I was agitated, confused & having horrible cramps. Was given 50 mg Benadryl every 4 hours for first 24 hours but it took 3 days to return to normal."


"I am a 54yr old female, just diagnosed with RA two months ago. I also suffer from fibromyalgia. Started taking Placquenil exactly one month ago, along with Lyrica. Had only been taking the Placquenil for two weeks when I had a severe reaction , dizziness, abdominal pain nausea and vomiting. Was hospitalized for 4 days and am still recovering from drug induced vertigo. This is week three of vertigo, I can't drive or work and have no benefits. I was hopeful this drug might help me, now my future is uncertain cause I can't work and have no income. Its Thursday and tomorrow my mortgage and other bills are due and here I am literally spinning out of control."


"I was feeling very depressed this winter. A combination of SAD  and life. I was irritable,  unmotivated, unsociable, negative and sad. I could hardly recognize myself. I was nervous to try an anti depressant as I'd heard weight gain an loss of sex drive were often side affects.   That would've depressed me more!  But my doctor said that Wellbutrin was often referred to as the skinny sexy pill.  Now that made it sound a whole lot better.  I know it seems hard to believe, but day three I felt like a weight had lifted...not sure if it can work that fast but I was able to jump out of bed and feel motivated.  My appetite has decreased, I'm happy, my libido is still as good as ever and I have experienced 0 side effects Luv it!"


"I've been on this for about 3 months. I've suffered from depression and anxiety since high school but some days it seemed unbearable to the point I've gotten nauseous and it was never that bad. Period lasts about 4 days 2 of this days seemed heavy. Even after my period I experienced cramping still more on one side then the other. I'm debating whether or not to just stop taking it all together. I don't feel like myself and I feel short tempered a lot of days and I hate that feeling. I rather be on nothing at all and just be happier. Skin is not 100% clear but off birth control it does seem to be worse."


"I will never take this again! I took 2 of the Dulcolax Pink intended for women and sensitive stomachs at 8pm. By 4am I had diarrhea and SEVERE cramping, I felt like I was being kicked in the stomach repeatedly. My S/O was about to take me to the hospital but I convinced him to try and let me deep breathe through it. It's now 8am and I'm still in crazy amounts of pain. Sitting on the pot as I write this review, would not recommend."
