"I have dealt with horrible migraines pretty much on a daily basis for almost 14 years now. My Neurologist says I have some of the worst he's ever seen in all the years he's been in practice. I receive Botox treatments every 3 months and the only medicine that really alleviates the pain after trying dozens is Norco. Insurance wants to charge $32.00 per pill which I cannot afford, so luckily I get a few samples each month. With the exception of a couple times treximet always seems to help with in about a half hour or so. I would recommend treximet to anybody who has true migraine issues."


"Took at 9 am hoping to move bowels the same day, after days of horrible constipation and bloating.  MoM claims it works within 6 hours, but nothing happened.  I took another dose at bedtime, still without any movement.  The following morning I have awful diarrhea.  It's so bad it gave me an anal fissure and I've been taking Imodium and putting on lidocaine to ease the pain.  Ridiculous to go from one extreme to the other. Yes I should not have taken a second dose, but thought it would be fine since it did not work at all after 14 hours, and supposedly you can take this daily.  I thought this would just quicken transit time, but no, it stayed it my gut, mushed everything to liquid, and gave me the worst diarrhea ever. Never taking again!"


"Been on Victoza for 3 mos now and saw my Dr yesterday, happy to report down 40 lbs in 3 mos and now increased to 1.8 dosage.  If you can stick it out with the side effects, it does get better.  I barely have any side effects anymore...not 100% gone but much better!  Pending for the results on my A1C reading but I feel it is much better than it was prior to this RX."


"One word. Wonderful!"


"So far I have had a very good experience with the Skyla. I am 21 years old with no children or previous pregnancies. I was totally against IUD's until I didn't really have any other birth control options due to health problems.

I was pretty anxious about insertion, but it felt like mild cramping with burning and a small amount of pressure. After day 3 I couldn't even tell I had it. I've had random spotting but no heavy bleeding. Haven't had my first period yet, but I will update after I have. So far so good!"


"I have horrendous year round allergies. I take daily allergy prescription medicines and use Nasacort AQ as sort of a 'rescue' allergy medicine when my allergies persist in acting acting up (and they do/will several times a year). This medicine is magical. It provides almost instantaneous relief where nothing else would. It's quick and easy to use and the after-taste isn't particularly bad. I've suffered no ill side effects from using it. I am very grateful for it."


"My 7 yr old daughter just started taking Vyvnase 40mg in the morning after 7 yrs of avoiding medications, she has completely slowed down and is able to focus. My only concern is her having dry mouth and biting on the inside of her jaw, this is her first day hopefully it just needs a few days to adjust. BIG difference already. I hope this is all we need and it continues to get better."


"This was the first birth control I was ever put on due to a scare I had.

Overall, this was a very good medication, however I had one major issue.  My period would arrive unexpectedly, sometimes lasting only a day.  It began to arrive every other week.  My doctor wanted me to switch right away.

Acne:  I did break out in the very beginning, but after one or two weeks, my skin cleared up and stayed beautiful.

Weight gain: none

Headaches/Migraines: none

Mood swings: light

Pregnant: no

Overall, I would've liked this birth control very much if it didn't destroy my cycle."


"This medicine is a truly life saver. Even with my depression well treated, i kept physicaly tired the whole day. I wanted to do things but my body felt like i spent 3 hours at the gym.

 30mg of it, 6am changed the whole game. I can go on really motivated the whole day and still get a great night of sleep.

NO SIDE EFFECTS besides some stomach cramps on the first days There's no comparsion with other meds i've tried before (provigil and Focalin)

I can finally say that i'm capable of doing anything if i truly want to."


"This birth control is awesome as far as its effectiveness with preventing unplanned pregnancy and increasing your bra cup size! The only draw back I would say is that the pill had me bleeding constantly. It wasn't light spot bleeding but full cycle bleeding maybe 80% of the time for the first 2 months on the pill. Other than the bleeding the pill is great with no other side effects."


"I've heard some stories from friends and also from reading reviews that it was painful. I just got the IUD put in 12/9/2015 and my insertion was a little uncomfortable. I would rate it a 7/10 for pain. After the doctor took the tools out I felt immediate relief. When I got home I did experience heavier cramping. Mind you, I did take 3 ibuprofen before the procedure but it didn't kick in until I got home. About an hour and a half later. I took a nap for an hour and finally felt a little better. At night I rested with a heating pad and that helped a lot. Before bed I took 3 more ibuprofen. And slept really good. Woke up this morning with no cramping and minimal spotting. I'm excited to see how this goes in the next 6 weeks."


"I am 25 years old, and I have had the Mirena implant for 2 years. I had it put in a month after I gave birth. It is a very effective birth control, but I have noticed a change in my sex drive. Or non existent sex drive. My skin also feels more oily than it was before. Overall, I think it is doing the job, but it could be better."


"Keratosis on my scalp is an ongoing problem...Carac proved to be a great treatment to remove these unsightly pre-cancerous growths...On it for a two week treatment period...No pain, just some small patches of redness...The only problem I have with this medicine is the outrageous cost for a tiny tube. Be certain to wash hands immediately if you apply it that way, or even better use a cue tip."


"Started 12/18/15.  Female 221lbs 5'6  42 yrs  old  1st day took 1 pill at 7:30am was sick all day stayed in bed. Day 2 1 pill 7:30am tried to do my normal daily routine  was so sick. So I have stopped til after the holidays  I have to much to do. My side effects are  nausea,  headache, sweats,dizziness , I could feel my heart beat speed up.  I really want this to work. I have tried so many things over the last 6yrs and nothing works  I was doing a workout plan for a 3 days a week for entire year lost only 5 lbs with 1000 calorie a day."


"I relate to many people's experience here - this medicine is saving my life!
Had the works, lifetime of depression, have battled through nervous breakdowns. Recently building up to full blown panic attacks.
It's making me feel good in a way I've NEVER FELT!
It's even reduced the pain on my nervous system from the chronic illness (autoimmune) that I've had since a teen.
I wish I'd had this decades ago. (Had to get through a week of side effects, but they were bearable. Just a bit of dizziness, nausea and clenched muscles. Now my body's adjusted, my appetite is back, and I'm actually feeling stronger than I've felt in a LONG time."


"I've had my Mirena for 5 weeks.  I am 24 yo and childless. I was on the Nuvaring before but I had gained some body fat in my lower abdominals and opted out of it. (I'm a fitness model) I had it inserted roughly two days before I was supposed to have my regular period. Insertion was extremely painful, I cramped very bad and I fainted. I woke in a cold sweat. Extremely nauseous, dizzy. I cramped off and on for about a week and had heavy bleeding for 9 days.  It went away.  Occasionally after sex, I will cramp for a few seconds but nothing serious.  I had a light period 4 weeks later for two days.  (Used to have heavy ones for 4-5 days).  Acne during period and some tender breasts.  Symptoms seem to be diminishing.  Will keep for the term!"


"I've had amitriptyline prescribed for insomnia, non restorative sleep and fatigue. Started at 10mg and now at 50mg. It does nothing at all for me so far."


"I have severe tongue pain after a nerve was damaged after my wisdom teeth were removed. The medication worked well on the pain but the dizziness is too much. I can't function normally like this. Have to stop taking it and go back to severe pain."


"Before starting Nuvigil months ago, I was always too tired to do anything. I would sleep ab average of 12 hrs a night and wake up for a half hour then need a nap.

I was on Adderall but was taken off it cause I do have anxiety issues and Dr thought it best to take me off it. I trued Provigil and Modafinil but it did nothing. So my neurologist spoke about Nuvigil. Its great to finally be awake during day.

I dont take nuvigil every day cause it does make me not sleep. With MS, I need my rest."


"I started this medication about 6 weeks ago and I love this medication with my glimeperide! My numbers have been great since I've started this medication and I lost 11 pounds without diet or exercise. I may have had a few side effects for the first week or two, but they subsided and since then, all has been well!"


"Mirena was the most convenient birth control method that I had used (out of the pill and the IUD) and I did not mind it at all. Overall, Mirena was great but I had only had it for 9 months. I wasn't getting my period and I wasn't too happy with that (as odd as that sounds). I just wanted to be regulated and have a lighter period, but I didn't want it to be completely eliminated. Because of that, it had me paranoid and I would have to take a pregnancy test every month. Other than that, it was fine. My boyfriend and I both couldn't feel the strings and there was nothing wrong. I'm 18 and I just figured that I should try another form of birth control that allows me to still have regular bleeding."


"Severe neck and back pain."


"Having developed increasingly severe asthma symptoms over the last year, I was up to using ventolin daily with little relief.  Today I finally went to the doctor who immediately put my on Symbicort.  I took my first dose just 1 hour ago and this stuff clearly works well.  I wasn't even feeling particularly tight when I took the first dose but within minutes my breathing was noticeably easier.  I will post again once I have been on it for a few weeks but so far my expectations have been exceeded."


"This is my 6th month on Gildess (my first form of birth control taken). I'm really confused with how my body is reacting to it. It made my vagina weirdly dry, mood swings were present before but were somehow amplified, and I bleed even when I'm not on my period (not just spotting, like a solid week before my period week). I'm trying out Gildess Fe 1.5/30 to see if it was a dosage problem, but it might be the brand itself. Wish me luck and good luck to all who try it!"


"I developed premenstrual dysphoric disorder after having my first child and it was unbearable. 2 weeks out of every month I would be terribly swollen and bloated, hungry, craving weird things, suffered from insomnia, had headaches and felt tired, and just really sick in general. I was also totally crazy and my moods would go up and down really dramatically. I just finished my first pack of YAZ and it has been AMAZING. Within the first month ALL of my symptoms have gone away and I feel great. I have even lost some weight. I had a slight headache and nausea the first 2 or 3 days I was on the pill but other than that nothing at all. I was afraid to take it because of all the negative reviews, but everyone is different. Worked great for me and has changed my life."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 14 years ago.  I have done the rigamarole of drugs for pain and sleep...spent years running on 2 hours sleep here and there and unable to function normally.  Tramadol used to provide adequate pain relief but my insurance stopped covering it and I could not afford it after that.  Muscle relaxants helped for a while but over time they became less helpful.  Eventually I stopped taking them.  Recently my doctor put me on Gabapentin and for the first time in years I got some real sleep and my pain is dulled to a low roar. The brain fog happens when dosage is increased but subsides after a few days...overall I can function at a higher level than ever before.  It is a good compromise for me!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Wow, I feel normal again.  I had been living on 5 hours of sleep due to sleep apnea fears for years. I got tested and was given a CPAP machine.  I felt great for about a month, then tired.  I started sleeping 9  hours a day and drinking tons of coffee and soft drinks.  Nothing helped.  I went to my regular MD and all blood work was good.  Was told to start working out.  Problem was I was too tired.  I went back to sleep. MD gave me Nuvigil.  Like I said WOW.  I did have a few rough days when I started talking the 250mg pills, but it was nice to stay awake and have a life.  Side effects (headaches and dry mouth) are going away."


"My son is 10 and I have known for a long time he had inattentive ADHD, but his school didn't want to help me get a diagnosis, and I was trying to tell myself he didn't have it. He changed schools this year, now a 5th grader, and I happened to ask his teacher how his attention and focus was. He was unfocused during the day. They did a time on task and it showed he was 40% more off task than his peers during different times in the day. His teacher and I filled out the normal forms which ask how unfocused rating 1-5 etc. and our answers were near identical. His doctor saw the info and sure enough, an ADHD diagnosis.  He was put on 20mg Vyvanse just this week, and he seems so much more focused!"


"My 6 yo was on Abilify for two months.  His temper tantrums and ability to concentrate were greatly improved, however, the gained 20 pounds and the doctor took him off it.  He was also very weepy and emotional on it."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Taste awful.. taste like a over salted glass of water with a hint of lemon. Could not get it down in the hour it took almost 2 hours to get the first liter down. Easier to drink when cold (but still REALLY hard to get down). Worked really well for me, didn't stay to far from the bathroom. Very expensive though."


"I can not yet tell you if this works or not for my tooth infection. HOWEVER, what I can tell you is to NEVER NEVER LAY DOWN AFTER TAKING THIS MEDICINE FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. I did last night, and thought I was having a heart attack. I had major chest pains. WORST HEART BURN I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! "


"when nothing else works long term, this is the one.  Pain to have to watch what you eat since it's an maoi, but it's better than not having it!"


"The only thing that really works."


"Since I've been on this pill my periods are lighter and last 3 to 4 days. Before Lutera I would get horrible cramps and now my cramps don't bother me as much. When I first took the pill of course there were some side effects, but
nothing severe, your body just needs some time to adjust to it. I've been on this pill since I was 17 now 22yrs old so far. No problems with it and I continue to take it everyday at the same time."


"I'm giving this pill an 8 because, for me, it had very minimal side effects. I didn't gain any weight, it cleared any blemishes, and experienced no mood swings/depression. However, I did experience SEVERE spotting and breakthrough bleeding, even after being on the pill for three months. My doctor told me to give my body three months to adjust and during my fourth month on this pill, I bled for the entire first week of my fourth pack! Therefore, it feels like I'm getting a period (or at least have to wear pads) twice a month.
The spotting is absolutely annoying and I'm strongly considering switching to another pill or just taking myself off of birth control entirely."


"I hit my toe and half my foot swollen."


"I've been taking Contrave for 18 days. I've lost 8 pounds and I feel fantastic! The side effects were minimal. Headache the first day. Just a weird groggy feeling and a little anxiety for a couple of days. Small things to deal with for the positive effects. Not just weight loss, but physically feeling good. I don't snack and I eat smaller portions. Things I used to look forward to eating don't even sound tempting. I'm excited to see what happens when I incorporate a little more exercise into my daily routine."


"I use Xanax occasionally as required. I feel relaxed in real sense, feel increase in mental abilities, sleep well and when I wake up I'm in a very fresh mood."


"I took this two hours before getting my first tattoo. Let's just say I had to cut the session short due to the hell that was rising up in my vagina. The itching was one thing the intense burning that followed was unbearable.  I was seriously clawing at my vagina the whole way home. I don't think I'll use Monistat products ever again."


"I'm in the middle of my second week with my first pack. No side effects whatsoever. No weight gain, no mood swings, no nothing which I think is amazing. This is my first time being on birth control and I would definitely recommend Loestrin. "


"I went for a over a year of burning and stiffening pain in my neck & shoulders. I was put on Hydrocodone to help with the pain.
Finally went to a neurosurgeon & he ordered an MRI, found out I have DDD and 2  collapsed discs c5-c7.  I was scheduled for ACDF surgery in February. After my surgery my pain doctor & my neurosurgeon agreed to put me on Percocet 10/325 & along with Tizanidine 4mgs (to help with muscle spasms) & was so thankful they did, it really helped ease the pain. 7 months post-op and I'm still on both meds because I'm having difficulty with the fusion taking hold.  Going in for another epidural & trigger point injections. Hope this helps!"


"Made me sleepy but, as I've been on it for years, it doesn't have that effect on me anymore. No other side effects. Also, helped with my trichotiliomania."


"Would be nice if you could remove the ingredients that make it time release"


"took my 1st ever 20mg tablet at 7am for big fat swollen ankles 2 pees and 2  hours later my ankles have already gone down by half -can't wait to see my ankle bones again ."


"The first week I took this pill I lost an unexpected 15lbs! I was on it for 3 months. The amazing uplifting increase in energy and decrease in appetite was astonishing. I had to force myself to eat. I felt like super woman. I did learn that taking this pill too late has some horrible insomnia effects so take it ASAP. Downfall, after the first few months the "energy effect" wears off and the dramatic weight loss slows"


"I took this product after having unplanned unprotected sex. it made me tired and I not only got my period three weeks early, I got it again two weeks later and it lasted longer than usual. But I did not get pregnant!"


"It only burns when putting on after shaving or in excessive amounts. I have been using it for years and only need to apply it about once a month to keep armpits from having an odor. I do not ever sweat anymore. So glad I bought this product"


"I am taking Atripla for almost a year since I discovered I'm HIV positive. I had side effects only in the first 2 weeks when I started since then nothing. I am still feeling good, undetectable and CD4 was 188 and now is 550. I don't know how I will be in the future."


"Keflex is the greatest , I have been using it  for 50yrs, until recently some people have polluted doctors minds that antibiotic use can be bad I,ve used it for 50 years it has saved my life more than once,recently my doc of 50 yrs retired,and I had to get another doc,its one of those that go by the stupid books,most are garabge,now I cannot get this medicine no more,so I have been sick now for 3months thanks to these idiots that don't have a clue what they are talking about."


"Love the no periods part ..hated the constant cystic acne on my chin that doesn't seem to go away with anything ..no mood swings no weight gain no complains except for the acne .oh and the price ."


"Having dealt with death of husband, shifts in job responsibilites, grad school and child, I was in the midst of massive depression and anxiety.  I was on Ambien 10 mg for 8 months, which helped, I slept but the fact of addiction was ever present.  I was switched to gabapentin by my neurologist for migraines, and taken off the Ambien.  I thought at first it was useless, I was wired and wide awake, but by the third to fourth day, I noticed I was dreaming again, which I had rarely done in 9 months.  I feel much more rested, where as I had been taking naps any day I could, due to insomnia even on Ambien, and hardly need to now.  I do feel somewhat groggy, but I only take it at night, and it is 600 mg. dose."


"I have been on many psych drugs over the years and found Seroquel to be the best for insomnia.  Take 150mg at around 6pm and sleep all night but sometimes have trouble getting up in the morning if I take it too late.

Amitriptyline dried out my system too much and gave me severe food cravings.

I no longer keep snacks in the house."


"I had tried Zoloft in the past, went off because I was feeling better. Many years later, needed something again. Went back on Zoloft - it did nothing. Tried it in combo with Wellbutrin - nothing. Tried just the wellbutrin - nothing... except a 25 pound weight gain. Everyone says you lose weight on Wellbutrin... uh.. not so much! I gained 25 lbs in spite of barely eating and taking up running...AND.. it made me sweat ALL THE TIME. It did nothing for my mood, but the side effects were completely depressing. P.S. the weight did NOT come off after I quit taking it. My guess is it damaged my already slow metabolism."


"I'm elated that I finally get to add my positive review to this ever-growing list! I should start out, however, by saying that I was already on birth control when I took Plan B. I had taken every pill on time, and, although I probably didn't need it, after the condom we were using broke, I headed to the store to get Plan B- better safe than sorry, right?

I experienced almost no side effects immediately after taking the pill. There was a bit of bloating the first day, but that was about it. A week after I took it (four days before the usual start date of my period), I started cramping in the mornings. My period came on-schedule- right down to the hour! Cramps the first day were WAY worse than usual, but everything else has been great!"


"Had mirena inserted March 2016 and had a horrible month of cramps and bleeding. Things subsided for a couple of months but now I have heavy bleeding 2-3 weeks a month.  Even though it is just coming up on 6 months I emotionally don't know how much longer I can take this and it is wrecking my intimacy with my fiancé. My Periods much worse and much less predictable than before :("


"I got metformin intolerance & was not believed by doctors so I took pics extremely heavy nose bleeding & so then they said stop metformin, take tradjenta 25mg with gliclazide 40mg twice a day.  The Tradjenta took about two days to work, then I took it 3pm with blood sugars 8.2 and in one hour I got a drop to 4.3.
Since then I have noticed afternoon headaches, dizzyness, back pain but still taking them as they reduce my blood sugar with effort, stop me dozing after eating.
I do get slight tenderness around pancreas but usually stop the Tradjenta for two days & restart.
I find the gliclazide irritates my pancreas and stomach more.
Overall very good product shame we can only take once a day."


"I only had 2 SHOTS!! Been bleeding non stop for 6 months straight! I'm off the shot now for over 11 days and still bleeding, have a gyn appt. Scared what could it be???"


"I was initially scared to go on Zoloft, as I had been on it when I was 12 for depression and I was told I was a despondent zombie. I'm 18 now and have probably taken 10 different antidepressants. Two months ago I began having horrible intrusive thoughts, and this was the first drug recommended. I agreed to try it after some pushing from my doctor and more experimentation. The first two weeks was hell; I couldn't keep anything down. I lost 18 pounds in two weeks. My OCD is better but it's still not great. I had periods of derealization when switching doses and some of it has stayed. I'm currently on 100mg and probably going to up my dose."


"I'm 19 and have chronic TMJ joint pain and clicking. I get spouts of breakthrough pain that disables me from talking, eating, and other things that require mouth movements. I recently had the worst pain ever in my jaw and had to go to the ER. Was given Percocet 5/325 and it took away my pain COMPLETELY and helped tremendously. I've tried Vicodin in the past but didn't help my TMJ as much as Percocet does. "


"It does what it is supposed to do - I didn't get pregnant. However, I took it two months ago (Sept 21) and I'm still seeing side effects. I've always had very mild periods with PMS symptoms starting about a week prior. Now my periods are crazy heavy and the cramping (which is much worse and more painful), feeling sick, tiredness, and breast tenderness starts two weeks before my period. I hope eventually my body will get back to normal but so far I've seen nothing but bad side effects from this medicine. Keep in mind, I'm 5'4 and I weigh 120 lbs and being small may have something to do with it. Also, I usually don't take medication and have never been on birth control because of bad side effects."


"I was prescribed this drug for BV, which like many other women, I did not even know I had until a doctor told me! I had absolutely no symptoms other than a slight odor. I was prescribed Flagyl for 7 days (two 500mg pills a day). I started noticing side effects immediately! I would have given anything to feel the drowsy feeling that most women on this website said the felt because for me it was the complete opposite! I could not sleep at all, I felt like my heart was racing and my skin was crawling, it also made me feel like I had Restless Leg Syndrome and extreme nausea. Luckily on the 4th night with no sleep my sister gave me some of her Ambein and I finally slept. Side effects aside, the drug works wonders, BV was indeed cleared up."


"First 24 hours my experience is as follows:

I made up a joke about my experience since I had lots of time last night to think about it; I certainly wasn't sleeping.

So I go to this really sleazy bar called 'The Cymbalta'.  I order a shot of E Coli. I'm still standing so I tell the bartender to pour me some Dysentery.  Then I try a frosty mug of Swine Flu.  In other words, this stuff is like taking poison!

My idea for Contraindications.  1) Not recommended for anyone who is actually alive.  2) Not recommended if you are more than 10 feet away from a toilet bowl.

Yeah, I know all drugs have side effects, and this probably a transitory condition that will eventually go away.  Maybe.  I just don't think I can wait for the "feeling better" part to begin"


"I have been on Effexor XR on and off for about 14 years. At first it seems to work but then I end up going back to where I was and then worse. I have suicidal thoughts at all times. I'm depressed and agitated even more so now than ever. If I get an up dose I sweat more. I don't know what to do. "


"I took it for three 1/2 weeks it gives some pain relief. 200 MG per day. I prefer the hydrocodon. It made me very tired after 6 8 hours, and effected my vision some when reading close. Probably good for some if you don't travel much and can just stay home."


"I had a very positive experience on this drug. Much less side effects than other drugs I have been on in the past (no side effects really), and it completely controlled my seizures."


"I was on Skyla for about 2 years and had an okay experience.
The pros- insertion and removal were quick and easy, just a pinch. I had some cramping following both but in both cases it didn't last longer than a day. Not having to worry about taking the pill. This was the entire reason I got on. It was nice not to worry about it.
The cons- Irregular bleeding. Some months I had the heaviest flow which would last 10 days and others I had light sporting for 2 days. It was very frustrating to be inconsistent. Also, body acne. I started breaking out on my back, shoulders, chest, and neck all places I had never had before. Anxiousness during sex, I know the Dr says it can't be moved, but I felt pain/fear when a partner went too deep. Hope I helped!"


"I have been taking Geodon for about 10 months now and unfortunately it has given me erectile dysfunction. I started to reduce the dosage in order to stop but not taking it affects my mood tremendously. Without it I feel hopeless, I cry a lot and it is difficult for me to get out of bed. However, I can't risk it affecting my sexual well-being (I sincerely hope it's not too late!) So I guess Geodon did not help me and my bipolar disorder."


"A friend recommended so I thought I would give it a try. She never mentioned severe pain. Just that your stomach hurts a bit because that means it's working. I took 3 pills around 9:30 pm and at 11:30 pm the severe cramping began. I also became extremely nauseous. I was doubled over in pain, it was so painful I had no idea what to do with myself. On a scale from 1-10 the cramping was a 12! It did do it's job but the severe pain is not worth it at all."


"First was put on Zoloft. Went off it due to the side effects. Then was put on Celexa. No side effects, and after only a week I feel great. The medicine works."


"After over a year of trying to conceive, but being unsuccessful due to pcos, my obgyn prescribed clomid to me. I had no side effects whatsoever. Even though she warned me it could make me mean, I wasn't. I didn't know if it was working for that fact alone. Did the deed many times during the ovulation period. Came up pregnant on my first dose. Everyone is different, but this was the push I needed to make a mini."


"WOW is all can say. This allergy medication works great. It's for 24 hour relief and I don't sneeze anymore. I have bad allergies to cats but I love them so much, except they almost caused an asthma attack because of my allergies, once I was prescribed Xyzal ALL the symptoms went away. This is like the miracle for allergy relief, it doesn't make me drowsy at all but it's different for each individual I guess. It stops your eye itching, nose dripping, sneezing and wheezing."


"Well i was 15 when i started getting acne n it kept on getting worse! After 4 Years to that my dermatologist suggested me Doxybact 100 that i cud take hardly for a week bc i got a severe form of allergic reaction so i had to stop takin it. But now after 4 years to even that i started takin it again n it did wonders! It just cleared my skin well!! I m v happy with the results bc no cream gel facewash had ever helped me this way! The only reason i hav rated this 7 is that it works only if i am takin it continuously! If i stop takin it my acne come back even within 20 days! Thats the worst part but otherwise its amazin!!"


"This birth control is amazing! I was definitely skeptical about it reading all of the mixed reviews, but I cannot really complain. The first month I started I had a week of migraines and a strenuous and painful menstrual period . But after that week, the migraines were gone and I literally had no cramps, headache, nausea, or any menstrual signs.  My period only lasted 4 days,  I'm in the best moods ever. I cannot say this medication effected my sexual desires. But the medication did lighten my discharge which I am very thankful for. CVS did try to switch me to the generic brand but I could not take risk. Literally it's great!"


"I have been on Saxenda for a week, and no side effects at all. Feeling great and do not feel hungry at all. Will update in 3 weeks"


"I can tell a marked difference when I am without this, in between prescriptions.  This takes the usage of my rescue inhaler down significantly.  No negative side effects for me.  Expensive, but worth it as peace of mind for someone whose asthma is a daily nuisance."


"When I first took these I had no problems I ran out and switched back to microgestrin once I ran out of those I started back taking chateal let's just say it's horrible
I got them December 19 2016 and started having this sticky white discharge then came the spotting I have not stopped spotting g since then it's now February I went from a 38 D bra to a 40 double D all my clothes are to small because my hips and butt is getting so big my once flat stomach is even getting a pouch I didn't get acne because I don't have acne prone skin but my sex drive does not exist I've had vaginal dryness and I feel very aggressive and irritated quickly I'm not sexually active right now so I think I'll cool it on the pills my blood pressure even went up"


"I have been on generic 25mg daily dose for a week now for migraines. Positive is that I finally have a break in the migraine of 8 plus days, no tingling in extremities as others mentioned. No additional mental fog. Cola taste flat and that is a plus to me as I need to drink more water. Negative is the nausea that occurs after I take the pill and it is horrible but I counter it with a suppository of phenegrin(sp). Of course that knocks me out for hours. I was to increase dosage to 50mg but doctor gave okay to wait another week. This is a promising option for me after 16 yrs of suffering. And I have tried numerous meds over that time."


"I have had problems with my knees for few years, sometimes had to use a cane and then others just hurt when I bend down or go upstairs. Osteoarthritis. I took a Synvisc-One shot today and it did not hurt at all. The doctor numbed the area up before inserting the needle. I am hoping it works as well as I've heard it does."


"I am still a little scared of this medicine. I started with the Green starter pack and smoked all the way through it, even though I didn't need to - almost as a way to test the drug and say goodbye to my best friend/worst enemy. On day 8, no more smoking. I'm on my third pack. I notice I sleep more than I did during the 18 years I have smoked 1.5-2 packs a day. I don't have a reason to get up so early before work anymore. Funny how we adjust our lives and compromise our health and ignore our symptoms to fit/keep our habit. No wild dreams so far, but I definitely have a increased emotional response - either way, anger or tears. So far so good."


"I have been dealing with Hyperhidrosis (underarms) since middle school and I have tried EVERY SINGLE over the counter product for excessive sweating. My doctor prescribed me Hypercare and from first use I LOVE IT. I have not broken a sweat since first use! I am so relieved."


"I got mine inserted 3 weeks ago as I will never take any form of hormones again! I'm 25, no kids and paid $120 extra to get sedated. I think most women don't know this could be an option. After reading many experiences of pain and finding Pap smears extremely uncomfortable, I decided to get sedated. Best decision! It only took around 20 mins and I had to stay 1 hour after and have someone drive me home. I had mild cramps for 2 hours after and light spotting for a few days. Everything is back to Normal now so I'm waiting to see how my periods go. I'll check back in.."


"Worked very well, controlled symptoms and put me in remission. Felt like I did 20 years ago - pre SLE and Siscoid Lupus diagnosis!

I had a serious anaphylaxis reaction after my 3rd infusion from not being premedicated by my previous rheumatologist.

Changed physicians and continued treatment with pre-medication of Benedryl and Solumedrol in i.v.  It worked for 5 treatments and then I had a reaction a 2nd time and was removed from the infusions.

Doctors say had I been premedicated from the very beginning, I more than likely would not have had a reaction.

My remission is now over and I am worse than prior to Benlysta treatment.

Benlysta co-pay program paid for 100% of my deductible, as well as $7,000 in co-pays each year"


"I took it for 12 weeks, when I did the blood work it came back neg..no virus.
Boy I was the happiest man on earth, now I have a chance to see my grand babies grow.  Went back for my 3 month check up and found out it came back!
What a hart breaker. Not sure what to do next..was told another drug would be available this summer "


"My daughter barely benefited - if at all - from taking Tamiflu. She began taking Tamiflu liquid on the first day of contracting the flu (her annual flu shot failed to protect her). A week later she still has flu symptoms, though they remain moderate and never became severe. Her fever peaked at 103F, is now 100.5. Her nose remains stuffy, she still has a mild cough and body aches. Overall I am fairly dissatisfied with this product, especially considering the high cost of $86 after insurance."


"This medicine saved my life."


"Lexapro has saved my life. I have been on it for one month and I have gone from a severely depressed recluse full of anger, rage and self hate, not wanting to see or hear from anyone ever. I am back at work, socialising, eating normally, playing sport and am about to book an overseas holiday. I felt some positive effects after two weeks and felt good after one month. Depression and social anxiety has definitely improved. I don't have any constant racing negative thoughts anymore, these disappeared after about a week and a half. I had very minor side effects but it was nothing that wasn't manageable, a few minor headaches and feeling spacey for the first week. I take 10mg at night because it makes me feel tired and I have a great sleep."


"I have been on Xulane for about 7 months now and I absolutely love it! At first, yes, it is horrible while the body is adjusting to it. There are constant headaches and what look like signs of early pregnancy, but after a while it works perfect! It's worth the beginning experience. I have noticed that my breasts grew rounder and fuller, no acne, no vaginal dryness, predictable periods, light periods, low cramping and best of all, no unplanned children!"


"I was given samples if dexilant from my Dr.  I was recently diagnosed with GERD. I had mucus in the back of my throat so bad I couldn't eat anything at all. I could hardly drink water without it irritating the acid in my throat. The dexilant worked like a charm I could eat and I had no side effects. Then after a week of use I started getting bad cramps in my legs.  They just recently spread to my entire body. I went to the er yesterday morning they told me I had tardiv dyskonesia. I stopped taking all my medications a week ago and the cramps are still here they Here.!!  I was given benadryl in the er and was told to continue use for 10days to see if the reaction goes away...  I'd rather have the diarrhea then constant muscle spasms"


"I was prescribed this medication following a motor cycles accident (R.Leg broken 4 places/L.Wrist fractures both sides of joint/Broken Pelvis/Fractured Vertebrae). I currently take 70mg twice a day and it helped with the pain. At 80mg I found everything a bit distant. So I end up taking the 70mg twice a day and wow how it helps is great.  Whilst I am still in pain, I can function these day. I go to work full time (Computer operator). Good medication, well worth taking."


"Best medicine for anxiety."


"I have used this for years off and on during flare ups of IC. Besides making my urine a 1970's throwback color of orange, over the past year or two AZO Standard has upset my stomach. Not enough of a problem to do without it, but enough to avoid food. It does work to rid me of the urgency and burning sensation.

."


"I would like to address women who already struggle with depression, insomnia, or mood disorders, like myself. If you're already bad off don't do this to yourself, it might be the final "push". I got the 3month shot (+add-back) and it made me suicidal. My moods went from extreme anger to sobbing, insomnia, HOT FLASHES, and my left arm kept going numb in daily activities! This went on for a month, at 2 months I leveled out. Not far into the 3'rd month the hot flashes came back, cold sweats (felt like drug withdrawal), and my pain was back! I went to my Ob/gyn 1 week early because of this to find I had grown 11 new painful cysts! It didn't even work, and to stop it is also unpleasant (withdrawals). Worst med decision I ever made! HELL!"


"I was diagnosed with prostate 10 years ago and the surgery. Because I still had PSA activity I was put on Lupron. My PSA decreased below 1.0 and I voluntarily ceased the Lupron injections. Earlier this year tests showed PSA was greatly elevated. I started with a new doctor who put me on Firmagon. My PSA dropped from 3200 three months ago to 29! There have been no significant side effects other than those similar to the Lupron use."


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"I have been taking plaquenil for over 6 weeks to treat autoimmune hair loss. My hair and itchy scalp has not improved at all. In fact it was even worse for a few weeks. Now I'm getting sores all around my eyes with a cyst on my eyelid and an inflamed blood vessel. I called my rheumy today to ask for a switch. I'm very disappointed because it seemed like the best out of the bunch for side effects."


"I have been on this pill for about 2 years now. I love it - don't see any side effects. At the beginning - I had little drops and after 2 months of taking the pills - my period was gone for good. First I thought something bad is happening - ran to the doctor but everything was fine. First couldn't get used to not having any bleeding but now I think I actually love it. No worries at all. The only thing is - I think I gained weight, 15lbs in these 2 years...but not sure if that is the pill or me eating more candy and junk food."


"Good"


"Great product.  My daughter has been battling acne problems for years.  When she was given the prescription for duac,, her face cleared and her confidence was boosted.  Unfortunately when the doctor gave her another prescription the insurance would not pay for duac only the generic.  Well, the generic didn't work, the product broke her face out.  So, the next time she got the prescription I paid out of pocket, but $330 a box is too expensive.  Unfortunately, over the last year her acne got worst.  If you can get the product, it's totally worth it.  Just wish the insurance wasn't so cheap.  #coupon.."


"I've been on this medicine 175mg per for 5 years-cyclothymia-miracle medicine. I was either angry or ecstatic on any given day. Now the same guy shows up every day-so thankful for this medicine."


"I used this pill for less than 5 full months. The 1st month, I had headaches, breast tenderness and nausea. The 2nd month I spotted for 14 days straight. I even had cramps. I also had nausea and felt really hungry. The 3rd and 4th month were the best! Short periods, almost no cramps. I also had a little acne. The 5th month I started to spot 10 pills in and I haven't stopped since. It's been 9 days. I switched pills 2 days ago and I'm still spotting because of LoLo. It's not a terrible pill but I don't recommend it. Spotting continuously is really not fun and expensive. I'm hopeful my new birth control will get the spotting to stop soon."


"I switched from Tri-Sprintec to Microgestin Fe. I tried Microgestin Fe for two months and I actually felt suicidal. I didn't feel that way with Tri-Sprintec at all so I switched back. Also my headaches seemed to last longer with this one. Extremely undesirable side effects."


"I am now taking Provera for the 3rd time . It works but I have had some extra hair growth on my stomach but I am willing to deal with that because I have been trying to conceive for 8 years. After I get my period under control I will start taking Clomid. My husband and I are praying this time it will work."


"ok...its been 30 days and all is well....yes,  ive had some ups and downs...anxiety attacks, fever,  insomnia, stomach & headaches...but over all i feel great....ive learned that taking my meds earlier than bedtime is better for me & also that the side effects seem to be nonexistent when im well hydrated.......(*DRINK PLENTY OF WATER....)"


"[Review Part Six] I haven't gained any weight, which is cool.My periods have completely stopped, which is also cool because I used to have extremely painful periods.But, I haven't gained anything positive whatsoever from the Nexplanon implant. I'm getting this thing removed on January 4th, but doing that isn't going to bring back the love of my life and his son who I absolutely adored and who my son was best friends with.  Nexplanon is a bad choice. If you've ever had issues with depression, anxiety, or acne, DO NOT get Nexplanon!  It might just cost you the people closest to you. My recommendation would to thoroughly research natural birth control methods as well as practice the natural family planning"


"I was very hesitant to start taking this medicine.  I have tried so many different kinds before and they had done more damage than good.  I read a lot of the reviews on here and after serious thought I decided to try it.  I'm so very happy I did.  I'm about two weeks in and I believe I have found the correct mix.  I'm so happy, and excited!  It's almost hard to believe.  If anyone is on the fence about this I would recommend taking it.  If you trust your psych doc, I would assume you do then go for it.  I was told you can tell the next day if you should stop taking it.  I have Bipolar 1 disorder and I also take Wellbutrin XL 150mg 3 x a day. Klonopin 4 x a day and now Saphris 5 mg at night.  I love it!"


"It works great at regulating my moods while not making me feel like a zombie."


"I've been on the Yasmin pill for about 8 months now and I've turned into a diffferent person, hormonal, angry, I cry pretty much every day. I would not recommend this pill ladies. So many other options. This pill is literally the devil"


"Went to the doctor yesterday due to muscle spasms from fibromyalgia. She put me on Skelaxin and it's WONDERFUL. I actually felt half way decent for the first time in forever, even able to get some much needed household chores done."


"I have been depressed and have anxiety for years since i was 6. im 55 now. No one new anything back then why I was a nut case out of control thoughts actions major moods swings and instant anger. no remorse no empathy nothing just hate and pure panic.

I have tried all kinds of different meds for the last 15 years and some were OK but nothing like these. My god I do 60mg twice a day. no side effects, no anger, no mood swings, no depression or anything, its all gone everything. you have no idea the great feeling it is to think normal act normal be polite and thoughtful, caring understanding, just incredible difference. I was taken off them for 5 weeks to try something else to see if it was me or the meds. back to the old me instantly. lifer.."


"I have had migraines going on 20 yrs now.  I've been on a beta blocker blood pressure medicine and Topamax.    Topamax decreased the headaches somewhat, but at the cost of very debilitating side effects of fatigue and depression and rapid weight loss that never stopped, therefore my Dr. stopped it. I recently changed drs and for the 1st time in twenty years someone decided to try something new, amitriptyline. I've also suffered insomnia.  My doctor suggested preventing migraines and treating insomnia with amitriptyline.  I've had one flare up in the past 3 months and sleep soundly through the night!  Amitripyline has caused weight gain but I am still healthy.  I'll take the weight gain over the migraines any day!"


"Was placed on Vyvanse after extreme weight loss on Adderall. Started at 20mg, upped to 40mg, then upped to 40mg 2x a day. I got my appetite back, but the medication really did nothing else for me. I went into rages and had huge anger problems for no reason. Anything could set me off! I could barely sleep or focus at work/school. Basically, I gained back the weight I had lost, but everything else sucked. I couldn't make it more than 6 months, my doctor switched me to Adderall XR."


"My experience with Abilify was destructive. I am 25 now, and have had MDD since age 10. 4 Years ago I took Abilify for about 3-4months. During that time I experienced paranoia, delusions, worsened depression, and extreme weight gain. I'd never had paranoia or delusions before and it brought my normal baseline from a 5/10 to a 1/10.  That still hasn't changed. I also experienced an extreme compulsive desire to eat (did not go away after I stopped the med) as well as total thyroid shutdown (atrophy) as can be affirmed by my endocrinologist. In about 4 months I gained 80 lbs (more than 60% of my original body weight). I will be on multiple medications the rest of my life to treat damage from Abilify."


"I take 25mg vistaril twice a day for anxiety. I had been suffering from GAD and a specific phobia for eight years and had never tried any medication. At first I was taking just 25mg at bedtime and it still caused significant drowsiness during the day. The drowsiness has worn off but the medication is still controlling my anxiety and helping me sleep more, which in turn makes me more cheerful and relaxed. I know that it doesn't work for everyone, but for me it has worked excellently."


"My first period I got after getting on nexplanon lasted for a month. I am on my second period since getting on it and I have bleed for 3 months straight. I am more emotional than I have ever been in my life this thing is awful I can't wait to get it removed."


"I am female, 27, UK based. I got this drug on prescription and it costs me £8.75 per month. I have suffered with depression from being around 15 years old and have always been on Citalopram. After a while it stopped working so I weaned off it and stopped taking medication altogether. Big Mistake, depression came back after about 2 months. Went to docs and was prescribed Sertraline, within two weeks it has worked wonders. I am not completely consumed by my depression, I am a lot less paraniod, negative and irritable. Its worked wonders already! I had a night of anxiety but it passed quite quickly. I'm on 50mg and take it in the mornings. It helps me stay awake all day too! Highly recommended."


"I got put on this bcp after I had surgery to remove ovarian cysts on both ovaries.  Bcp is supposed to stop cysts from coming back.  I didn't notice any weight gain while I was on this pill, however I worked out 3-4 times a week to avoid possible weight gain.  I have back acne and occasional pimples on my face I didn't notice it did anything to make it better or worsen it. I have some hair growth on my chin :'( which this didn't do anything to help or worsen my condition.  Did not notice many side effects overall while on the pill.  Once I stopped taking it I noticed heavier periods, cramps (didn't have them before bcp), pain on my ovaries and headaches. Wasn't able to go back to see if it helped my cysts because I lost insurance coverage."


"Makes me have a good nights sleep "


"I gave it a 5 because Im only on day 5 of treatment. The only reason I'm leaving a review is because the side effects have been awful already. I've vomited every single day between last Wednesday (first dose) and today (Monday, 5th dose). I've had a killer headache 3 out of 5 days. I can't sleep for longer than a couple of hours, which makes no sense as I'm on 2 different sedatives - I should definitely be sleeping. And i've been constantly covered in sweat. Even when I feel cold, I'm sweating like an animal. I haven't noticed any mood changes (positive or negative) which is expected because of the short time I've been taking it. I just thought I'd share the side effects and hope they go away with continued treatment!"


"This was one of many I tried. I was more satisfied with this one than any of the others. I never had headaches(with some I had terrible headaches!) the time release worked very well. Overall I rate this medicine the best in it's category."


"I've been on this birth control going on 8 years. Never any weight gain or physical issues, but the occasional mood swings and PMS. Cant say if Ive had an increase in appetite. But totally worth it. Haven't gotten pregnant!"

"Was not having any real problems but at 50 wanted a little more kick so I asked my dr to try Viagra.  It worked but the flushing, stuffy nose and heartburn were unbearable.   So he gave me a sample pack of Cialis.

I took a 40mg while were at a wedding knowing that we would be have 3-4 hours  sex later.  I had a few drink and was rock hard all night!!   ..she came 3 times before I did.   Then the next day around noon we had sex again and it was the same way.

"


"Did not help me, and I gained weight."


"Started this medication due to breastfeeding. Worst birth control ever. My periods are EXTREMELY heavy and lasts forever , bloating out of this world and minor weight gain. After this pack, I'm done. Will never take this again."


"This by far has to be one of the worst forms of birth controls out there.  I got the implant on January 29th and then got my period on February 1st and have been bleeding ever since.  I've had some of the worst cramps of my life.  Not to mention it has caused me to have crippling anxiety and depression.  This implant has completely changed how I think.  I can't take it anymore. I want to get it removed, but I'm away at college at the moment."


"Finally a migraine medication that works.  Due to the sedation I experience when taking Fiorinal w/ Codeine I cannot take while at work or when driving."


"After 2 years using this very expensive product every day, my toenails are still thick, yellow and peeling. What the heck??"


"I started on the lower dose on 11/4/14. My starting weight was 301. 2 weeks later I went up a dose. On 12/4/14 my weight was 261 and I am still on the 7.5mg dosage. My doctor was so shocked when she saw me. She said the average person loses 1-2lbs a week and I've managed to lose about 10lbs a week. I also told her I cut out carbs and sugars. I no longer look at food as if I have to have it. I now look at food as a necessary nutrient my body needs to live. It is the best decision I've ever made."


"When I get sick, within 24 hrs, it goes into infection. This is the only shot that is strong enough to help the infection. My immune system cannot fight for me anymore and win, I only wish the shot had cured this infection. I had one on Thursday and after the injection at the dr office, within 8 hrs, all of the symptoms went away but came back 3 days later so I have to go back again today."


"I ended up in ICU with heart palpitations (over 200 bpm). I only took one tablet of Norflex and this happened almost 6 hours after taking it. Turns out I'm allergic to orphenadrine."


"My doctor prescribed this instead of the Flonase I've taken for a month. I have severely swollen sinuses, history of sinus surgeries. After a few days of use the headache has gotten so bad I have to stop use. I've had more bad side effects than benefits, including painful sinuses and dry nose. I'm better off without it."


"Works fantastic for me. I feel like I'm in my twenties again."


"Was diagnosed in 1998 with type II diabetes, went from one medicine to another until none of them worked. Told by my Endocrinoligist that I must now start insulin
4 X a day....worked for a few months then after about 10 months it did not lower blood sugar. Started this medicine about 3 weeks ago and the results have been super. ONLY inject long lasting insulin at night only. Blood sugar numbers are now normal or just above normal. LOVE THIS MEDICATION!"


"I have just started Latuda and I am so happy with it (I will update after I've been on it for a while).

I switched from Olanzapine and the difference is incredible. Olanzapine had me feeling groggy and tired. Latuda, from day one, has had my brain feeling clear and I've had my my energy back! My apartment is finally clean and I'm not losing everything all the time (seriously - I lost my phone daily before)

The only "side effect" is that I am super drowsy when I take it, which has to be with dinner, so the whole night I'm tired. I see this as a positive, because I used to be up all night on olanzapine.

Plus, I wake up in the morning and I'm wide awake! Latuda has been amazing!"


"This product should be taken off the shelves before somebody has a heart attack from its side effects. I took one tablet and within about five hours had a BM normally.  A few minutes later I needed to go again. Then all of a sudden, I started sweating, and vomiting, and felt I was about to pass out on the bathroom floor.  I made it back to bed and was screaming in pain which went on for the next 20 minutes.

It finally calmed down enough for me to spend the next day in bed with a hot water bottle on my tummy. Today is Day 3 post Dulcolax Drama and I am left dizzy, nauseous and weak. If no better by Monday morning, I'm off to the doctor.  I feel terrible and will NEVER take this tablet again. If you suffer from IBS do not take!!"


"I too have found Spironolactone to be a miracle drug for me. After 20 years of treatment for hypertension, I was taking three different anti-hypertensives and four large Potassium pills per day, and yet there was significant edema, especially in the lower legs, and my blood pressure at best was 150/90. I am now taking 100 mg of Spironolactone and 80 mg of Diovan (no Potassium). My ankles are slim and trim, my Potassium level is in the normal range and blood pressure is around 120/80. I experienced some breast development and tenderness, but that is now under control after my GP added Tamoxifen to my treatment regimen. I am also taking Lipitor, Androgel and Byetta, and have reversed the 30% weight gain of the past 20 years. I am a 69 year old male."


Anemia Associated with Chronic Renal Failure

"Starting second week usage of Erythropoetin for possible kidney failure but definite anemia on a 6-7 year old black Labrador.  Seems to be recovering slowly along with doses of amlodipine/norvasc, enalapril and doxycycline."


"I have struggled with anxiety, depression, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for 20 years. Tried just about every medicine out there. Lyrica works. 450 mg per day."


"Nexplanon is my first birth control. I have had it for about 5 months now. I had it inserted about 8 weeks after I had my first baby.  For the first week after it was inserted, I had a "normal" period and after that, it went away and I have not had another period at all (not even spotting!) I have not gained weight. I have not had any side effects. If you don't want periods, I think it works best if you are breastfeeding at the time you get it."


"For me the medication worked fine as far as reducing the inflammation. My inflammation was in one of my eyes and it did relieve the inflammation but the side effects, wow. I have been drowsy off and on and had terrible stomach pains. For me I added this to my do not take list but for someone who is not taking it everyday probably would not have as much stomach upset. I took it every day for almost two weeks. Too long for something that is hard on someone's stomach."


"This medication for fatigue is really helpful. Being a mom of 2 boys I always have to be up and going. This is really a lifesaver."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Lawd! This stuff is ghastly!  Barely got the 1st dose down with some minor gagging, but then the gas, cramps and bloating started. After 30 minutes it was working so that was good because I vomited almost all of the 2nd dose. This is my 4th colonoscopy and by far the worst. I will find another prep next time."


"Denavir is truly the best cure for cold sores. Heals fast and stops pain on contact. I love it!"


"I have been taking it to prevent pregnancy since I had my baby and so far it's been really good...hardly any side effects at all...only thing  I don't like is I'm a little more moody and get headaches sometimes but for having a period every other month now I'm right on time every month..I recommend it"


"I did not like this medication nor do I recommend it.
 I don't know if I was taking a low dose or a normal dose but I was on 10 mg twice a day. That medication made me feel very tingly, I felt like a rubberband that was stretched pulled, this was a daily feeling, it was scary.
 I also had feelings of not being able to control myself. For example when washing dishes I felt that I was out of control. So I hurried and washed dishes.
 I took this medication for about 2 months, I stopped taking it. I will never again take it again.
 What did help me with 95% of my anxiety attacks was to stay away from sugar and flour products. Now I rarely have anxiety attacks. More Protein!"


"My hair was falling out and my doctor began a series of kenalog shots(3).Within 30 days I noticed it stopped falling out,and began growing back.Kenalog was successful for my hair,I regained a lost sense of smell,and it restored a sense of well being I didnt realize I had lost to cronic fatigue.It was wonderful, however I experienced a huge indenture on my body in the area I received the shot.It looks like a shark bite.My doctor said it is fat scarring.There are others who got this dent too."


"I'm just going to share my experience to help out the girls going through the same issue I did. On August 3rd 2015 my boyfriend and I was having sex when he pulled out we found out the condom had broke. He flipped out I did as well. I took a shower went to store. I took plan b a hour and half after the incident with food and water. I had no side effects. Two weeks had past and I was freaking out worried haven't gotten my period took pregnancy tests all negative. Then August 17th my period arrived it was the best moment ever. Also got blood work done to verify I wasn't---all negative. I now can go to college with a piece of mind. Let me say this to all the girls out in the world dealing with this it worked for me so don't worry!"


"I am having nightmares, hallucinations, swollen ankles, legs with spots, falling down, sudden sleep, itchy skin,  Also, shock at the fact that the cost went from $7 per 90 tabs to $249 for 180 in just 18 months.  Will not continue due to cost.  This is what I pay after Humana says they pay.  "


"This medication is labeled a wonder drug in my household. It is the last line of defense and treatment for migraine. However and very sadly I might add recently the copay my insurance company imposed is going to make it hard to take. Limited to 4 tablets per week (while they state all medicines are calculated at a monthly dose level) NOW a copay of $60 per script makes it $240 for each myself and my wife. We just can't afford this after paying $2400.00 monthly for the insurance coverage. We are being choked to death! If the medicine was covered properly under the contract we could handle the $60 copay per month but because they limit the medication to 3-4 tablets per week. "


"Had Hepatitis C. Did 38 week treatment of interferon, riboviron,and bocepresis. Cure week 3, did 3 month and 6 month blood work after end of treatment. Cured. So cool."


"Helped a lot with chronic migraines. I lost a lot of weight (I weighed 146 and I dropped down to 123 in two months). I ate less but I was still eating close to what I ate before being on the medicine. I think it must speed up your metobolism. I had some mood changes and I did have a little memory loss. I would forget words and things like that. I work with people so I noticed it more because people would point it out. My hands/feet tingled. I noticed less side effects when I took the medicine at night. I only take 50mg at night, that's all I ever have taken and it works for me. It does wonders for my migraines and it's worth the minor side effects. If you are a pop or beer drinker you will HATE it because it ruins carbonated beverages."


"I am 16 years old and had unprotected sex with my boyfriend about a week ago. It was not planned and it just went too far too fast. I took the morning after pill about 2 hours after and experienced an upset stomach a few hours after taking it, resulting in vomiting. I freaked out thinking that the pill was not absorbed in my bloodstream but today I just got my period (thank God) I recommend this pill but not as a regular birth control!! Don't be like me and use a condom please!"


"Bottom Line. This is the best option for losing weight. I'm male, 6'1" currently 225lbs. I was 280lbs. I've struggled up and down w weight forever. Always been athletic, but big. I took the 37.5 dose. I've tried everything before. You name it, it tried it. Specifically with the diet pills.                       ( Xenedrine)etc. etc.  we all know. It doesn't work like in the commercials.

This stuff WORKS!! Hard to explain... it just does. Use phentermine along with diet and a little exercise... watch your body change ! I've gotten more compliments of late, then Ever before. Good luck. (TRY IT !!)"


"This medicine has been very effective however it doesn't last the full 12 hours of pain relief as it is prescribed. For me it lasts about 8 hours. I did get horrible constipation so stay hydrated. Never flush unused drugs down the toilet. It can severely effect fish and other animals along the watershed. Water treatment plants do not treat for disposed drugs."


"Well it has been a rollercoaster for me. Very moody depression kicks in, mad all the time at my bf, periods come whenever they want too, very emotional, haven't seen weight gain, no sex drive at all. Considering taking it off"


"I've been on hydrocodone or Norco for about 10 years 3x's a day. I've had S5 and L1 ( I think that is how it goes) maybe the L and the S are in the wrong place. Anyway the two disc at the very bottom of your back. For 2 years as of this past Christmas Eve I was suppose to have the next 2 up replaced. I asked my pain  doctor for 1 more Norco a day. Instead he puts me on Nucynta 50mg. Not working after 1 1/2 years  so now I get put on 150 ER 2x day and 50 mg in between. All I do is hurt like hell and sleep all the time. I have fallen asleep in the bath "


"This product didn't work for me.  The risks did not outweigh the side effects.  I used it after my colonoscopy and had to use other pain medicines as well."


"I have taken a lot of medicines and hated all of them or they didn't work for me. This one actually works but my sex drive, well I have none now and that in turn makes me depressed so I think my doctors going to have to try something else."


"My daughter started taking Focalin XR 15mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon. This medicine does not seem to be helping at all and her behavior is worse than ever to the point that we cannot handle her and she almost had to be hospitalized for the second time within a 2 week span."


"Pricey but works well. Usually takes about 45 minutes to take effect."


"At first, I had no problems on Apri. Then about a month in I gained over 10 pounds even though I didn't change my diet or exercise. I also noticed that I became very moody and had random crying spells around my period, which has never happened before. My breasts are also very tender and itchy, and my acne has gotten worse. I never had bad period cramps before I started taking this pill, and now they are extremely painful. Hopefully my doctor switches me to a different pill."


"I took one around 5pm and then at 2:30am I woke up to a burning sensation in my stomach. When I realized what was starting to happen and I almost had a panic attack because of all the reviews that I remembered. Seriously guys, what I went through was bad for a laxative it was like having the flu, but nowhere as bad as everyone claims it to be. For me it was only a couple hours and then I was able to sleep. Today my stomach feels a bit sensitive but I'm fine.  And it worked really well too, I didn't have diarrhea just a really easy to pass BM. If it hurt that much for some I think it's because they're way too constipated which could mean intestinal impaction. DO NOT take laxatives if you think it is, it can end really badly."


"The only pain medicine that work for my headaches and joint pain. I am only 20 years old and have been on them since I was 14. I also take xanax for my anxiety and pseudo tumor cerebri. Works great."


"I have suffered with RA from the age of 5 so for 45 years of pain.  I am starting at the lowest dose with good results and limited side effects. Will probably need to incr. dose at next visit. But finally have some hope for a pain free day."


"For the past 5 years I have been suffering from Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It affected my life in all aspects. I finally found a solution to my disorder.  I take Zoloft 1 x 50mg pill everyday and 2 weeks before my period I take 2 pills (100mg).  I never felt better."


"I took this mainly for easing the pain of periods and then got into a relationship later on. It has definitely kept me from getting pregnant and shortened my periods by days but I've gained at least fifteen pounds and I have gotten insanely emotional. It's really miserable. "


"Ok into week 3 now.. Started on .06ml and Starting weight 86kgs just weighed myself tonight after gym 81.55kgs so almost a 5kgs loss. Its definitely a visible loss around my waist.
Although I did jump to 1.2ml in week 2 and started 1.8ml in week 3 but had to drop back to 1.2ml as it was way too strong and nausea killed me. Will stick to 1.2ml for the time being seeing good results with 4 1/2 pens still to go.
Looking promising :)"


"I have bone on bone on my left knee, so bad I was ready for a replacement. My Dr. suggested we "give the shots a shot", if they don't work, we'll take the next step. He is an expert at giving shots to the knee as I felt no pain, just a bit of pressure as he did each injection. At first I was very disappointed as I didn't feel any difference. About a month and a half after we finished the series, I noticed I had no pain in my knee! Lasted about a year, going in for another 3 shots next month. Dr. says it works for some, but not all, and I'm glad I 'gave it a shot'."


"This medication is HORRIBLE! It's relieves constipation, but only by turning it into diarrhoea instead! Horrible painful stomach cramps lasting for hours, severe diarrhoea, I'm still in pain and having stomach spasms a day and a half later! Throwing the rest in the bin, wish I'd seen the reviews on here before taking"


"Effexor XR has saved my life twice.  The side effect was major weight gain, but, sad as that was, it was worth it after trying several other drugs that did not work.  The withdrawal is tough, but done easily if you just keep reducing your dose.  The first time I went off of it was cause it was making me depressed again, even at the smallest does.  But, 3 or 4 years later, when I once again sunk into a deep depression, it was the only thing that could get me out.  I've been on 150 mg one year."


"My hands were so dry from work and corn huskers lotion made them feel better almost immediately. Within days my hands were back to feeling normal."


"I stopped running marathons, something I really enjoyed. My arthritis has put a stop to any running. Now, I walk 5-6 miles every other day with a pair of weights around my ankles. My arthritis kept me up at night until I started my Synvisc-One injections. I get one in each knee every 6 months; they really make a difference."


"Severe cramping and nauseous after I was took 2 pills at 7:50 pm woke up at 3:00 am with stomach burning sensation and throwing up &'  after I use the restroom"


"Kadian has been an amazingly helpful medication for me. I take 14 medications daily, four of those medications are for severe pain. And until the doctor added Kadian the pain just was not giving me any breaks. I have been on Kadian for about four years now I would rather die than miss even one dose as it's that important to the quality of my life. To be fair I do have some side effects I consider to be mild and not worth even mentioning one thing to say that is important I am physically addicted to this medicine missing a dose makes me sick sick sick but then again I don't miss doses anyway because of my pain levels however the pharmacy doc or insurance will mess up once in awhile so I do suffer missing doses once in awhile"


"I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis and had a major surgery. I was only able to take four of the six shots. The side effects are TERRIBLE. I had almost all of them. I took my last shot in March 2015. It has been one month and I am now experiencing panic and anxiety attacks along with high blood pressure. I am only 37 and gained weight now weighing 155 and have a blood pressure of 142/103. I have never had high blood pressure until the third month of the shot. I have hot flashes, night sweats, chest pains that sent me to the ER, vaginal discharge, painful intercourse, vomiting of the day I got the shot. It has been an awful experience. I am praying that when it gets all out of my system, I will not see any of these side effects anymor"


"After having negative experiences with a monophasic pill, my doctor decided to put me on this tri-phasic pill and my experience has been so much better. During the first month and a half, I would get spells of nausea about 2-3 hours after taking the pill, but these eventually went away. My breasts have not swelled as much on this pill, my acne has cleared up completely, and I even lost some of the weight I had gained on the last pill since Tri-Sprintec suppressed my appetite. I'm in my 7th month of taking Tri-Sprintec and since taking it, I have had stronger emotional responses to things, but no irritability or moodiness. It has been a very effective birth control for me."


"I've been getting cold sores since I was a baby! I'd always use ice and Carmex and other over the counter medicines like Abreva. Even those made my cold sore keep growing for days before it scanned and gave me pain! When I was 17 I finally told my doctor I couldn't handle these anymore because I was getting them about every 3 weeks so he gave me this in a low dose and now I take it as soon as I feel it coming and I never even get the cold sore! Since I started this medication I rarely get outbreaks anymore. In the occasion that my cold sore starts before I have the medication in hand I just take it ASAP and it heals within hours. No side effects for me! It also takes the pain away!"


"I took Saphris for about 3 months for very, very mild schizoaffective disorder. I have body paranoia, delusions, constant fear, anxiety, severe depression, anorexia (unrelated) etc. This medication took all of that away. I was happy, smiling more, being more social, I was eating more again and even got back to a healthy weight (intentional gains) However, after being on it for 3 months I found myself unable to do every day tasks. My mental ability to do anything was gone, totally. My mental functioning got so bad I had to have an accommodation through HR at work so I didn't lose my job while I got off the meds. Overall, super helpful. But that whole brain not working was a dealbreaker. I was so sad to get off Saphris. Back to square one."


"I've been taking Kadian 60mg 2x day for severe back, knee, hip and hand pain. I have a failed knee replacement from 10 years ago and have been taking Kadian ever since.  Controlled pain mostly but also taking Norco 10/325 two pills 3x day for breakthrough.  Just yesterday my pain doctor increased the Kadian to 80mg in the morning and 60mg at night.  I can't imagine what my life would be like without the pain relief I get from Kadian.  I tried Fentanyl patch with no relief (then I heard of the deaths caused by the patch), and tried Oxycontin and again no relief, so Kadian is for me.  Only issue is it is extremely expensive."


"I'm 65 and have had weak flow for years.  It seems I've tried every drug available, but not much relief.  First dose of Rapaflo gave noticeable improvement within hours.  I thought I had found the solution until the diarrhea started.  Cut the dose to the 4mg capsule once per day and diarrhea solved, but sexual problems set in.  No ejaculation.  Judging from this site this is not a minor side effect, but almost a guarantee.  After a few weeks I began to have increasing difficulty reaching orgasm at all.  My sex life is fading fast.  Rated +10 for effectiveness and 0 for side effects."


"I have been on lo loestrin fe for about 3 months now and I have not had the greatest experience with it. First off, I was getting 2 periods a month, one being in the middle of the second week and the other during the week I was supposed to, and both periods were extremely painful and heavy. I told my doctors of my troubles and she ensured me that it would probably get better and to give it a couple more months before switching. It has gotten a little bit better but I ended up having to switch anyways because my insurance doesn't cover this medication since it is not generic! Other than the 2 periods a month, I did not gain weight or breakout but it did take me forever to adjust so good luck to anyone who goes on this pill!"


"I am 16 years old and have had migraines off and on since I can remember. They get to the point where I can't function, can't eat, sleep, think of anything and they last for days some times even weeks. I have been on amitriptyline for just over a month and it has helped so much! I can already notice that I'm in much less pain, and not getting migraine's half as much. This is an amazing thing and is very very helpful."


"I have Bipolar II, with gradioise mania and severe depression. After about a month of taking Lamictil, my moods stabilized dramatically. At one point, I supplemented with Abilify, but have recently been able to stop taking and now rely on Lamictil solely. I attribute Lamictil to saving my marriage and career; it scares me to think about how my life would be without it!"


"Extreme itchynes all over body (every body part ) cannot sleep, cannot stop itching myself everywhere,
Itch stopped within 1-2 hours of taking first tablet"


"Took Clomid in early 1980's due to PCO. Gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Three years later (without clomid) a baby boy. To this day, I'm still so thankful for the drug.  Don't give up, your wonderful life is waiting to happen!"


"I am at the end of the 2nd week of the starter pack, last 20 mg pill.  I feel so much better on this medicine. My depression started after some horrible things happened in my family and it paralyzed me.  I didn't want to do anything anymore.  I wanted to be left alone.  I finally feel happy again.  I have been on Zoloft.  That worked but I gained too much weight. Effexor didn't really help and Wellbutrin did nothing.  This one made a huge difference and quickly.  I had diarrhea the first day of each new dose but it quickly went away.  No other side effects.  I am also sleeping much better.  The bottom line is, everyone is so completely different.  It is all trial and error."


"I've been struggling with Rosacea for a long time. Skipped the red vein part and went straight for the pimples, boils. Later purple thickness and seborrheic eczema came with it too. I did not like the idea of using antibiotics. Don't like the thought of treatment resistant bacteria as a result. But, I had to take something.
First night after taking doxycycline, I woke several times, because of extreme itching. Everytime I went to the bathroom and saw my face in the mirror that night, it looked already a bit better.
The pain Rosacea brought me was gone in a week. The flakes of the seborrheic eczema after a few weeks. The last pimples disappeared a few weeks after that, to only return, very mildly, just before menstruation."


"I started using Belviq last December. From December to March I lost 30 lbs. I am still on it but it has no more effects. It wore off after 3 months. Although I am still losing slowly on my own."


"I started taking Savella in Jan 2013 after years of other meds for my fibromyalgia. I've had it diagnosed since 1997. The worst side effect is the huge sweats.  It was like going through the menopause again. Whew....and I've lost weight, which is a good thing.  This sweating may be going away, since I only had three sweat attacks this week.  Great med for calming down the fibromyalgia symptoms."


"I've been on this birth control for over a year now, so I have a pretty good idea of its effectiveness. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this medication and I have had a positive experience with it. The only downside is that I experienced crazy mood swings the first 3 months of starting the medication, but it regulated itself and went away. Other than that, I am obviously not pregnant, did not gain weight, never had problems with acne, and no nausea. It also regulates my period and my period starts on the exact anticipated day every single month for over a year."


"First off, I would like to say that this medical condition is not known to many people, and I think it's awful. I have suffered from hyperhidrosis since I was in high school. I was unable to wear whatever I wanted, stuck to baggy sweatshirts and black tees. I figured I'd just grow into it, because my job was very physical, and I was not the only one sweating. I am going on interviews now, and I have had enough of it. I applied it last night, and I didn't start sweating until about 2pm today. I did not put deodorant on because of the directions, and had to by 4pm. I am going to try it again tonight, I am happier to use it than not, and will upload my future comments on it, because I did not see many after thoughts, and I think that it's needed."


"Was on Inderal for some 25 years, then switched (because of insurance reasons) to different (cheaper) high blood pressure medicines. After several attempts at these newer medicines, had to return to Inderal. For some reason, Inderal stopped working for me. Doctor switched me to Bystolic. WONDER DRUG! I no longer have palpitations, blood pressure is 120/70, no more nausea, no more dizziness, no more fatigue. Truly a wonder drug, at least for me. ONLY drawback, its expensive. But what price for feeling good and healthy again."


"I've had Implanon since February of 2009. I just made my appointment the other day to have it removed this February (2012). I can't believe its been 3 years already. I haven't had any problems with it at all. No mood swings and no weight gain. I didn't read the reviews before I got it. It didn't hurt, I don't have a scar. My arm was only sore for a couple of days, but that was minor. All in all it was a great experience. I look forward to getting another one implanted upon its removal."


"I have to say some of side effect's to DEPAKOTE ARE TOUGH!  But the SIDE EFFECTS TO MY CONDITION IS & could be way worse-  So I've been sticking to it & working through The SIDE EFFECTS. It's DEFINITELY a miracle pill-  I am only at 3 weeks but I've never felt calm- NO racing thoughts & I feel HAPPIER- & I only have LITTLE anxiety at this time. Before, most weeks I'd end up in ER 3 x's DUE TO A PANIC ATTACK. SIDE EFFECTS: headache, staring, head feels funny like a electric shock, nauseous. My lips & tongue are twitching. Instant cold & clammy feeling.
BUT I LOVE THE CALMNESS & all theses side effects have gone away & I feel like I am living like I've never lived! This medicine is AMAZING."


"I had a muscular injury to my leg. I rubbed on the ointment and the "slight burning" the packaging warn of was a horrible burning that I could not remove with repeated washing with soap and water. The intense burning sensation went on for a few hours. "


"I have been taking Klonopin for 5-6 years now. I think it is a wonder drug and I couldn't function without it. I have (social) anxiety disorder with a history of panic attacks many years ago. I generally take 0.25mg one to four times a day (as needed) and 0.5mg before bed as it helps me sleep. I cut my scored 0.5mg pills in half. My doctor has prescribed 2mg/day but I rarely exceed 1.5mg total and probably only average 1-1.25mg. In all the time I've taken it, I've never had a desire to increase it because it simply "works" and makes me feel 100% normal with no side effects. I took Valium (diazepam) for many years but I always felt anxious as it was wearing off and before taking more. Klonopin doesn't have that effect on me probably because of the long half-life and the way I space it out. I fully expect to take it for the rest of my life."


"I have been on paxil for almost a year now for anxiety. It works most of the time. I do not have hard core panic attack anymore. My only gripe is if I miss a day I have crazy brain fuzz,  I seem to eat more, and I do not really care about anything."


"I feel like I've been sick for a very long time. It began around early February. I started feeling tired and nauseous. I had other symptoms, but the nausea was the worst. It just got worse and more frequent. My mother talked me into going in and I was diagnosed with "migraine with aura" about a month ago. I don't feel like migraines have anything to do with the nausea, but that's all I have to go on for now. The nausea comes in waves and I've had to stop doing schoolwork because of it. I was hoping the zofran would help, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I still wake up at night because I'm so nauseous, and it never seems to end."


"This medication is great!! A few years back, I had IBS with diarrhea, but it has since changed to IBS-C. It was so bad. I was always in stomach pain, always felt full, just felt terrible and super backed up. I'm a nurse, so I tried ALL the non-pharmacological remedies for constipation. So after reading all of the reviews, I made a GI appt. Thank god I knew about Amitiza because my doctor tried to send me out the door with some pamphlets! Amitiza is a life saver. Just don't forget to take with meals so you don't feel nauseous."


"I have been suffering with borderline personality disorder almost my entire life. Within a few days of taking Seroquel I noticed an incredible difference in my mood balance, my paranoia. The biggest difference I noticed was I no longer felt the need to be in crisis. Social settings were easily handled, my work life improved overnight. I used to use alcohol to expand on my crisis moments & friends and family believed me a hopeless alcoholic. Now I have no urge to drink. I wake up focused, ready and able to face the day. Most of my days are almost completely positive. I would recommend."


"I'm 23, no kids, and have had Skyla for about a month now. I had it inserted while on my period (though I didn't take any painkillers prior) and it was the worst pain I have ever felt. I cried and actually almost passed out and had to stay for awhile before they would let me drive home. I cramped a little that day, though the two days following I was fine. Since then I have been cramping every day pretty badly and have had bad headaches on and off. I had been spotting and then had the heaviest period of my life and am still spotting. I've lost a decent amount of weight since getting off Aubra to be put on Skyla, I am getting some acne though."


"After several failed attempts by two different ARNP's in the same day at a PP clinic, I finally got my IUD placed by an MD at a larger PP location yesterday. First off, the difference between a nurse and a doctor is amazing, ladies. Nurses can't use drugs--doctors CAN. Bear that in mind if you're going in for a first time placement! And yes, going in while bleeding probably helped.

Not sure how I feel about it yet. Cramps were almost non-existent prior to yesterday evening. They have been sort of going in and out now, very sharp for several minutes, then gone for about an hour or so. At this point, I'm just hoping my body doesn't completely reject it."


"Been on Latuda for 2 months and for the first time in years I feel happy and content plus I'm not flip flopping between mad confusion to hyperactive depression anymore.  It gives me that second to think before I react and that has been all the time I need to see where I could go down the angry paranoid path or CHOOSE to take another route.  My anxiety is almost gone with or without benzo's. I smile and have a positive outlook on things now.  The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is as of now it creates a very uncomfortable energy almost like I can't keep still.  So worth it to me I can deal with that.  I have been on all the anti crazy and bat shit loony meds out there and this so far has been the best."


"Is great for pain."


"After taking 2mg of Livalo for 3 weeks, I experienced several side effects, so much so, I am no longer taking any statin.  Severe muscle pain and weakness and joint pain, flu like symptoms but no fever, even though I felt like I had a fever.  Slight cough, runny nose and extreme lower abdominal pain. Then came the chills.  That's it.
I have experienced muscle weakness and pain on other statins, so my body knows better and I'm listening to it."


"I have been taking this for over a year, and have slowly developed almost every severe side effect."


"I had my Implanon inserted in August 2011. The procedure was absolutely painless, only bad result was the ugly bruise, but it went away. No scar and no need to remember taking it everyday, I love it! No bad side effects, it actually helped me lose a few pounds! Although I have had light bleeding for about 2 months now but it doesn't affect my relationship or sex drive. I'm as happy as I was before I got it. I'm anxious for the bleeding to stop completely but other than that it's GREAT!"


"I was kinda focused in school when I took this but that was only for the first period or 2, I ended up getting really tired and was getting a lot of anxiety and had like 3 panic attacks (this was my first time ever being on any kind of ADHD medication)"


"I was taking 50mg of Zoloft a day for two months and it made me even more irritable and down. I didn't want to do anything. When I did force myself to go out and socialize I'd snap at people. Nothing was fun. Nothing seemed to be worth doing. I've tried both Lexapro and Zoloft. Neither have made me feel any better. I got worse on both. I don't always want to feel depressed, but at least off of medication I have the ability to hide my feelings from people, not to place other people under the weight of my moods, but on those two medications I didn't even feel like I had the power to fake it. Zoloft also gave me migraines, ones that would last for a week straight. Glad it works for some people though."


"I have been taking this pill since Fall 2012, no pregnancies, no side effects, no periods, well sometimes irregular  (that I kind of worry about sometimes, but I was really irregular before the pill so..) My BF and I have also been using the pull out method all of this time to no pregnancies at all..."


"3 day: Day 1 - severe itching, like fire ants in my vagina & all day after I could feel it oozing out (the medicine felt almost HOT) & the itching got intense! Im honestly not sure if the oozing medicine caused the itch or the YI did. I'm sort of weird bc most ppl get intense itching as their main YI symptom. I just get pain. Always. There is SOME ITCHING, but mostly just really painful when i wipe. It took several doc diagnosed YI's before I knew that.

Day 2 - No severe itching, but I got mild discomfort in my lower abdomen when i 1st inserted it. Fell  asleep easy. I just woke up, Now it sort of feels like the oozing med is getting hot again. Sort of burns a little.

I think it's going to depend on how severe the YI is though."


"At 51, I have uterine fibroids and was experiencing super heavy bleeding for months at a time. My doctor recommended Mirena and I unenthusiastically agreed to it because my other choice was hysterectomy. When younger I had a terrible experience with the pill (made me really depressed which otherwise I am not). I had Mirena inserted 4 months ago and love it. I put on a bit of weight at the beginning which I have mostly lost already. The heavy bleeding is gone. I still wear a pad because I spot once in awhile but before I was using Depend because the bleeding was SO HEAVY. My mood is Ok. no depression or any similar symptoms. No acne. Insertion is painful but quick. The discomfort goes away immediately. So far Mirena is Ok for me."


"I have severe swelling on my vagina every time I have sex and it's extremely painful and embarrassing please don't get this shot . I've been on been on the shot for two weeks and this has happened . I'm scared it will happen every time I have sex. And the body pains are even worse shooting down my back and head aches. I've never had any of this before using Depo. I was talked into birth control by my doctor and it was a big mistake listening to her. I'll never be on another form of birth control ever . I've had to much bad luck with a lot of them. :'( I wish I could get this out of my body but I have another three weeks ."


"Had flaking scalp for so long, noting helped, had to see dermatologist, she prescribed Olux, can't believe it, but problem was gone after 3 applications! I wish I ask for help earlier!"


"At first when I took the shot my life was good. Just recently oct 24th I was due for another one. 2 weeks before the 24th I started to spot. Ok I though because I was due soon. It is now Nov 13th and still bleeding. Due for another shot Dec. I am so over it. It will spot for awhile and then get heavy for about 10 minutes. I am so disgusted."


"I am currently using Zyclara for a basal cell in my ear. I have had this before about 7 years ago and used Aldara at the time that completely cured it. I was prescribed this cream this time at my doc's recommendation because it is a little milder than Aldara and the skin is thinner in the ear. I have been using this now for 3 weeks without any breaks and have 3 more weeks to go as per my derm. I haven't had any flu like symptoms and side effects are just on the treated area, extreme swelling, raw skin, oozing, redness, slight burning and scabbing. I started with one spot that looked like a pimple and with the cream came many more. Once I'm done I am hoping obviously that my basal cell is gone and my ear looks like an ear again."

"I started Tri Sprintec 3 months ago for my 15 year struggle with acne. I am 35 years old and haven't been able to battle acne until now.....sort of. It has cleared my acne by like 90%! It probably would of been 100% if it wouldn't make me stay on my period for 3 weeks at a time. I have ALWAYS been regular with no cramps or period problems until now. I still have no cramps, but my period comes on whenever it feels like it! So annoying. I also have had tender breasts. I'm already a DDD so I don't need any growing there please! Other than that....I love that fact that my face is clearing up...I can deal with the other problems as long as my acne is GONE!!"


"I felt like I was going to die..

I took the recommended doses for 12 and over and I almost felt like I was going to die I was so dizzy throwing up for 2 hours never again will I take this medicine.

Check these reviews."


"Very positive results in the beginning but now I feel sleepy and unmotivated. My mood is stable however, keeping away the depression so far. Gained weight on it."


"I've been taking Cymbalta for anxiety and dysthymia for 3 months.  It is the best medication I have tried in 10 years of treatment.  No weight gain, not as lethargic, and my attitude has been much better towards life in general.  Right now I am on 60mg a day.  I'm not sure if I can go up from here but even if I don't, the way I feel now is better than anything else I have tried including prozac, lexapro, welbutrin and several others. I do have some dry mouth and sweating but it is tolerable."


"I have hurt for the last 3 weeks really bad.  I hurt so bad. I have taken 3 antibiotics the last 3 weeks. I finally decided it was enough and went to my Urologist. I was in so much pain. I was in tears. It was nonstop pain. My urologist told me that I had a stone or stones. My urologist prescribed me a pain med and Flomax.  I thought Flomax was just for men. I looked it up and found out that it is used for kidney stones. I have taken Flomax once a day since Thursday and now I have no pain. I feel I passed the stone early this morning or it moved somewhere else. I am not hurting. I am so glad. I don't even know how to act, because I have been in so much pain for so long. I am set up for a CAT scan on Monday."


"I've had this thing in for about 2 years aND at 3 I get it taken out. At first it was great and then about a year and a half in I started bleeding heavy... everyday. I have terrible cramps, back pain, mood swings, weight gain, and worst of all constantly bleeding. I am scared to go to my doctor because I feel as if my issue isn't important but honestly I can't take it anymore. I set up an appointment and will get to the bottom of this. I can't even explain how much pain it's caused me. I hope someone can explain these symptoms to me because I just don't understand what's wrong with me."


"It does what it is supposed to do - I didn't get pregnant. However, I took it two months ago (Sept 21) and I'm still seeing side effects. I've always had very mild periods with PMS symptoms starting about a week prior. Now my periods are crazy heavy and the cramping (which is much worse and more painful), feeling sick, tiredness, and breast tenderness starts two weeks before my period. I hope eventually my body will get back to normal but so far I've seen nothing but bad side effects from this medicine. Keep in mind, I'm 5'4 and I weigh 120 lbs and being small may have something to do with it. Also, I usually don't take medication and have never been on birth control because of bad side effects."


"I have been taking 25 mg Tenuate for almost 3 weeks and I am gradually losing weight. So far lost 8 lbs. My physician prescribed a water pill. I am definitely watching what I eat and making better food choices when I do eat, i.e. low in fat and lots of veggies.  I have absolutely no side effects and I can easily sleep at night. So far so good."
