"I'm a week away from finishing my second free trial pack from my doc, and I won't be taking anymore. I switched from sprintec, because he said they were lower dose and would make my periods lighter. I was sold on the less hormones. So I get home to Google these, and of course they're practically brand new. I hate being a Guinea Pig, and 5 bucks says doctors are getting paid to prescribe them. They make me sick to my stomach, and I've had terrible migraines. My face is broken out, but I'm not pregnant. (At least I hope not) I say this because this was literally the shortest period I've ever had, like 2 days, 2 tampons two pads. Which actually freaks me out. My 5 day periods were light and just fine. Not bleeding doesn't seem natural to me"


"Love it! Been continuously dosing without breaking for menstruation for almost two years due to extremely difficult/painful menstrual cycles, emotional trouble, etc. This pill smoothed all of that out! Spotting for a few months once going on, but rarely have issues now. Cleared up my skin perfectly. Two down sides: total libido killer (I feel like a robot sometimes), and a bit of weight gain. The weight gain actually didn't happen for the first year, so I'm not totally certain that the pill was the cause. Maybe it was the pill mixed with extremely stressful past 6+ months and overeating from stress. I'll gladly take emotional normalcy and no dependence on painkillers in exchange for the downsides!"


"UPDATE: Female/21 yrs old/ Wife/ Mother of One: Phentermine 37.5 mg. Starting weight/Home Scale: Feb. 7th 2017, 223.4 pounds Week 4: Weigh in Mar. 7th, 211.1 pounds... Week 8: Weigh in Apr. 4th, 205.8 pounds...Week 12: Weigh in May 2nd, 199.2 pounds

I am now off of this Medication Per Doctor and Pharmacist: This Medication can only be filled for 3 months at a time and then I have to be off of it for 6 months.  I have a 30 day follow up apt. scheduled for June 8th with my Doctor to see if I have lost/gained any weight from being off of this medication."


"It cause me permanent hair loss."


"I had a serious reaction when I took Correctol and a muscle relaxer (for lower back pain) during the same 6-hour period. I woke up in the middle of the night with sweats, elevated heart rate and chest pain. If it had not subsided in 15 minutes, I would've had to call 911."


"I have had Implanon for about two years. I love the fact that I haven't gained any weight the only problem I do have are the mood swings. I can relate to a lot of the comments that people have left about not feeling yourself and not knowing the source of the horrible anger. My mood swings are making me reconsider this birth control because I feel it's affecting my relationship. I have had times where my period came for 2 1/2 months and really bad cramps. But on the other hand it's a relief not having to take pills everyday or go through the pain of the IUC or IUD"


"I've been on valium for about 6 months now and have severe social anxiety and separation anxiety. But it definitely helps. Allows me to not feel as claustrophobic and not to get as shaky or frozen in anxiety producing situations. If I have an anxiety attack or feel like I'm going to have one then I will take a valium and it helps me get through the day."


"Was prescribed after suffering nerve damage after surgery from a complicated plueral effusion. The stabbing. Pain is gone after OxyContin made me feel like my head was in a cloud.  Was also prescribed Lyrica. I feel a sharp pain when I try to take a deep breath or yawn but other than that I have been pain free.  My PM is talking about a nerve block and I am not to keen on that idea.  This medicine is fantastic no side effects."


"I've been taking microgestin 1.5/30 for almost 6 months and so far it is great. My main concern when starting birth control was weight gain and acne, but I was able to maintain my weight and my skin has significantly cleared up. My period arrives at the same time every time it is due which is great. Slight headaches and moodiness right before my period, although the I experience moodiness throughout the cycle. This took me a while to get used to but now I am able to control it. I do not use a condom when having sex so this is my only birth control method and so far it has worked to keep me from getting pregnant. I did take antibiotics while on this pill and it seemed to still work fine."


"I was prescribed 15mg as a sleep aid due to my concerns with taking zopaclone frequently. That dosage was too high for me and I am now taking 1-2mg once a week but it does make feel out of it the next day with some short term memory issues. As a sleep aid even that small dosage helps for a second night. I am wondering if more frequent use might moderate this side effect but do not have the opportunity to experiment due to work demands."


"Experience initially- hives which disappeared after a few days- replaced by rash and itching on my ankles and feet which continues. Also woozy and light headedness continues."


"I first got the shot 2 months ago. I got it one week before my period was suppose to start, and I didn't get my period for the first month on the shot. It was convenient, just a few cramps here and their. Now that the second month hit I started feeling moody, and randomly started spotting. It has been 2 weeks now and I honestly am over this shot. NEVER taking it again."


"Tramadol works. Period."


"I have been taking Harvoni for 8 days out of an 8 week treatment.  Not a real headache as others but a light pain in the back of my neck for the 2nd and third days, its gone now.  I am sleeping enough hours and I  guess just a bit tire; I am also diabetic.  Thanks to Obama care I was selected for treatment.  I took two months off work to handle this treatment, my job consists of driving from 12 to 15 hours a day, tractor trailers.  I have all my faith in these miracle pills. Thank you  Mr. Obama for making a difference as the President of this great country, it was about time that the poor working class as well, be covered by healthcare.  Not only the rich working classes exclusively deserve the best treatments and medicines. Thank you again"


"It works well for me."


"My mom was put on o.25 mg nightly Klonopin after having likely withdrawal and memory issues from Ambien.  She experienced anxiety, panic attacks and random episodes of fright/panic and memory loss.  The doctors of course raised the dose to 0.5mg given the anxiety and the symptoms got worse - more anxiety, random attacks and withdrawal symptoms in the morning.  So they raised it to 0.75mg and she got even worse. I had to take control of the situation and spread the medicine out to 3x 0.25.  This helped significantly but nervousness continued. The doctor not understanding her sensitivity decided to reduce the frequency, not the dose and this resulted in terrible withdrawal symptoms. Now using dissolved 0.125mg rapid dissolve tablets to titrate off."


"Have major depressive disorder, PTSD, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain, high BP and cholesterol, low thyroid. Started taking Fetzima 20 mg for two days and then 40 mg daily for the past seven days. It stopped the traumatic thoughts at night but need to quit it due to so many awful side effects....slight nausea and light headaches the first few days, awful insomnia, very dry mouth, sore eyes and less clear vision, twitching in corner of eye, hot sweats switching to my whole body feeling cold, muscle cramps in legs, bad constipation. So sad because it was the only antidepressant that worked for the PTSD. It probably did raise my blood pressure but I did not check... got bad headaches like I do when BP is up. Good luck everyone."


"Twice now - more fool me - I have bought the original nasal spray and had the top take everything off when I opened it, rendering the product USELESS.

It's annoying you can't rely on what was once a strong brand."


"I am 27 and have been dealing with manic depression for most of my life.I take Lamictal 250mg, and Wellbutrin 300mg. I was very recently put on Zyprexa for the first time after a suicide attempt and hospitalization. I was VERY reluctant to try it because I've read all the side effects. I tried it (2.5mg). I have to admit it changed my life after ONE (low) dose! It was like I went to bed hanging on by a thread and woke up with all my strings attached. I saw quick results. No waiting for a month to see if it will work. Since I have only been taking this medicine for a week, I haven't had any side effects yet. So far, it has really, really been a miracle. Mood stability has always been a really huge issue for me and this has taken care of it."


"I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 17 and was prescribed Dilantin. I was having grand mal seizures and it was working ok. When I was 22 I moved to Florida and saw a new neurologist and he said Dilantin was an old drug and put me on keppra. I'm taking 1500mg twice a day and I'm having more grand mal seizures and partial complex zone outs. Keppra has not helped at all and I'm going to a new doctor for a different opinion on what to take."


"I have really bad Rosacea and when I started my pills and cream it was the first thing that ever worked.  Now costing me to much not sure what to do."


"I was diagnosed with anxiety and severe ocd. I have been on Zoloft for 3 weeks and am starting to see a difference . I'm back doing things I used to do before my anxiety . I started on 50 mg and now am up to 150. Makes me tired though and need to take afternoon naps. All together im happy I made the decision to go on medication . It's starting to change my life for the better."


"This medication has given me my life back. For months I walked around in a haze, had trouble focusing, getting out (and staying out) of bed, and would sleep for 18  hours. My social life suffered, my grades suffered, I would cry all the time, had trouble communicating, or wanting to be literally anywhere but in bed. I started on 50mg for a little over a month and while things slightly improved, it wasn't enough. I should also mention the side effects in the first week were terrible - brain fog, sleepiness, just general haziness... terrible. Overall, I was still depressed just... less. My doctor and I agreed to increase the dose to 75mg and this is an amazing medication. I can get out of bed, I can cook/shower/do laundry again, and I have done more school work in the past two weeks than I have for months. I can socialize and talk again, I don%u2019t cry as easily, I wake up and don%u2019t dread the day ahead. I feel human again, this is amazing. Only side effect I%u2019ve noticed is I%u2019ll occasionally have a dry mouth but it%u2019s very minor. Highly recommend!"


"I'm 19 and never had kids. I had the copper paraguard IUD inserted 3 days ago. The insertion was a breeze. I took 800mg of ibuprofen a hour before getting it inserted. I felt light cramping during the insertion. And felt fine afterwards. I continued taking ibuprofen for the following day. I have light spotting that is beginning to stop. I just wore a Panty liner. I recommend it because its highly effective and HORMONAL FREE, I love the fact that there are no hormones in this bc  it also last 10-12 years and when you want to get it removed you are able to get preg right away. I recommend planned parenthood. I didn't pay anything.
I think its worth a try."


"All I can say is wow. I can't believe the difference Lexapro has made in my life. I used to have horrible anxiety, suicidal thoughts, no motivation. Now I am excited for life, chasing after it. Colors are brighter, everything tastes better. Memories of my childhood that I could't recall before came back. I've also been waking up early when I used to fight to wake up at noon. Now, these results took a while. I felt an improvement in mood at about three weeks, and an increase in motivation at about five weeks. The first two weeks were rough- I experienced many side effects including mood swings, night sweats, nausea, increase in intrusive thoughts... but boy was it worth it."


"I'm currently 16, I started to get acne around 4th grade when I first endured puberty.  it started out as blackheads around my nose but now i have white&blackheads on my chin, cheeks(biggest problem area) and jaw. It got really bad my sophomore year. (I'm a junior) but it wasn't cystic. It was somewhere between grade 1-2 acne.  I started epiduo roughly two weeks ago.  My first week, my skin cleared up! Not completely but I did notice improvement. I apply it every night after washing my face, showering. Sadly, my skin and neck are irritated, ITCHY, red and burning even with the small amount I put on. My acne has become worse. I'm hoping it will pull through. I got it for $45 (insurance didn't cover) by printing out a coupon on epiduo.com!!"


"This is a drug that takes a long time to get fully into your system.  It does not just "work" after a day or a week.  I was on this medication from 2004 to 2007.  It worked pretty well (about 85%) for anxiety, but not very well for depression.  My nutritionist and Doctor agreed that it was the medication that caused me to gain 30 pounds (which by the way, does not help depression.) I had to keep a food journal and keep track of my activity level. The overall panic subsided, but at night when trying to fall asleep I would occasionally have chest pain, or rapid heartbeat, or trouble breathing.  You just have to try to find ways around medicines to cope.  "


"It's a good product.  I have been on Paxil and Celexa but Effexor XR was the only thing that made me feel normal.  I have been on it for 7 months and I would suggest it to anyone who has depression."


"I suffer from bipolar1, OCD, very severe anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder. I had been in a mental hospital and had taken so many medicines. I could never stop thinking to the point where I stayed awake all night. Mood swings, temper, just raving mad ,waiting to be set off. Some medicines worked for a short time, and others just didn't work. So my psychologist put me on Lamictal, but it works very slowly and you have to start it on a low dose and work your way up. I had taken it before, but my other doctor left and every other doctor wanted to put me on Lithium but I said no because I have Lupus. But when he put me on Seroquel XR, well that's when things began to look a little bit brighter. It does make you sleepy, but its a great medicine, at least for me anyway. Hope this helps."


"I was on Lutera, and then I suppose they ran out because I started getting Aviane. No complaints though! I love this birth control. My sex drive has increased, my acne has almost completely cleared, it definitely increased my breast size by one cup, reduced my period bleeding and helped regulate, and I’m able to maintain a steady weight. Also, I can lose weight super easy. The only downside is yes, I maintain weight, but I bloat A LOT! Not a huge deal, just kind of cumbersome. All in all, I really love this pill."


"I'm Taking Cymbalta for Anxiety And Depression It Makes Me A  Little Jittery And If I Don't Eat With It I Get Sick to My Stomach But I Feel Better Than I Have In A Long Time And Where I Was Using Food To Cope With The Depression This Actually Regulated My Eating So Now I'm  Eating Less With More Energy And Feeling Like A Million Bucks"


"I was prescribed Atarax for one specific reason. I am having an MRI done and am extremely claustrophobic. I was prescribed 50mg pills. I was given 4 pills. I am to take 1 pill first to see how it effects me and then I can decide if I need another one. I took one for the first time last night and I became very sleepy. I am also on Tylenol 3 for pain. My eyes could barely stay up. However, once I closed my eyes, I was up every hour on the hour. Not sure if that is because of the anticipation of my MRI or what. I was very relaxed however, but do not suffer the anxiety attacks as bad as I did years ago and my heart goes out to those who do. I will take the two pills at MRI and give my review again then."


"I've lost 35 lbs in 7 weeks.  Went from 245 to 210.  I wouldn't say it eliminates hunger but it definitely assisted with my will power to resist cheating.  I've never had this much success with anything else I've ever tried."


"I recently realized I have had anxiety practically my whole life. Being thirty years old now, I really wish I had been prescribed this a long time ago. It has reduced my shaking and anxiety effects so much that I feel like a real person.  I never knew what it was like to feel calm until now.  I am very thankful for this medicine."


"I used the liquid version of this product and it worked really well for about 6 months. Then my doctor prescribed the same medication but in a cream version and it's not working at all, instead of clearing my breakouts it makes them worse.  It's also making my face extremely oily."

"have used this medicine in the past with only side effects of a bad taste, This time however, Ive got vaginal itching and irritation. Wondering if I should use an OTC yeast infection product or wait and see if it gets better after the meds are done..1 more day to go..."


"Even though I was told this was well tolerated, I was miserable with nausea and vomiting."


"Hola girls, as i know many of you are stressing iIwent through the same situation.. My boyfriend and I had sex with a condom and it broke and before we knew, he came inside me. He immediately bought the pill and i took it within an hour.. After this I was suppose to get my period within the next 5-7 days, but I ended up getting it 9 days after. I stressed myself out to the max and I kept thinking non-sense but we were both determined that the pill would work. I was spotting a few days before my actual period came.. Right after taking the pill I felt an immediate headache and felt major cramps throughout the week. I'm 167 lbs and the pill still worked for me.. So just take it slow girlies, everything will be okay!"


"My doc and I have been playing around with different medications for my depression.  I have tried the normal like Prozac, Cymbalta, Effexor, and another one that I can't remember.  Both my normal doctor and psychiatrist both say that I am not even allowed to try Wellbutrin due to my history of epilepsy when I was a child.  NOTHING has worked until now.  My son has been dealing with medical issues that had put me into this deep depression and his recent passing kind of pushed me even further.  I was given the starter pack and the side effects haven't been that bad, a little gastrointestinal upset but that resolves quickly. I am about to start my 40mg tomorrow.  The only thing is do NOT miss a dose even by a few hours.  You will feel the withdrawal symptoms."


"Paxil works great for me but it took 3 months for it to work. That's not surprising however my body has always taken a long time to get used to/accept drugs. My start up side effects were extreme fatigue, excessive yawning, derealization, depersonalization, depression and apathy(apathy and depression could've been a result for the anxiety and not the paxil) . One day while at work it just hit me and I started feeling better happier but not 100%. I'm currently at 30mg which seems to work fine. The only bad thing about being on Paxil for me is the sexual side effects(it is really hard to climax! uhg) Otherwise, I feel fine. In fact, I even have vivid dreams, which for me is nice, and more energy."


"Good and effective antibiotic."


"At separate times within a month I had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy.  I'd had versid/fentanyl before for colonoscopy and it worked fine (no lasting effects) but the nurse talked me into propofol for endoscopy though I was a little leary, but I was very nauseous after.  This time, I told them "NO propofol;" however, she asked me if I'd ever had benedryl (yes, for allergies).  It seems they gave me propofol/benedryl because I was groggy/unbalanced for hours after, even though they sent me home!  I feel like I was over medicated for this simple procedure!  On the procedure sheet the medication is listed as "MAC anesthesia!" They want to change all anesthesia drugs over to propofol.  I think I should complain to their Patient Advocate Dep"


"I love accutane! I'm starting my 7th and final month now (started on 10mg a day, moved to 20, now on 40 for the rest of my treatment). I was scared to try the drug because there was so much negativity about it on the internet but I was so desperate to get rid of my acne and blackheads, My skin was so oily and my acne was leaving scars all over my face. The only side effect I got was really dry lips. I went through so much chapstick, and the skin on my face got a little dry ocassionally. I found drinking a lot of water a day stops all those side effects though. I highly recommend, The only minor problem I had was in my 2nd month on accutane I got mono, which was so weird. But could be a coincidence. No clue. Either way, I love accutane,"


"I got the implant 2.5 years ago. In the first 3 months, I had crazy emotions. I was violent and depressed. I gained 20lbs but I don't think it's the birth control fault. I drink a lot more soda then I use to. I do not get a period at all but do agree with needing lube for assistance! Now that I'm in my last 5 months of it, I've been excperiencing the same mood swings from the beginning. Its  uncontrollable and scary. That's the only downside I have."


"Having been diagnosed with depression and GAD I'm now taking 300 mg of Lyrica a day along with an antidepressant. My life has changed. I'ts nothing short of a miracle. I finally see the world again the way it was supposed to be seen and can enjoy the grass under my feet in the park. Honestly these little things make a world of difference and move me like nothing else. I feel connected with the world yet again."


"I'm 48 and have the capacity of an 81 year old woman due to years of smoking.  I have smoked very few cigarettes since last week when I found out how bad my lungs are and thanks to hardly smoking and the Spiriva I am doing MUCH better!  Only side effect is a REALLY itchy nose/dry sinuses/stuffy (really stuffy) nose...but it's much better to be able to take a deep breath and function again!  Side effects are nothing compared to gasping for air! Love Spiriva!"


"I have been on Ocella for a year now. I used to take Yaz which is in the family and loved it. I have definitely gained weight and having a hard time losing it. My moods are fine, I don't feel sick at all. I actually feel very normal. The downs I found beside the weight is I have zero sex drive! And I do get chest pains."


"Brown tongue, dry mouth, metallic taste, very yellow urine,"


"Horrible emotional side effects. Always angry and crying. I have been on different birth controls for over 8 years with no problems. I went on this one for one month and immediately had these side effects."


"Very effective but bad side effects. I'm 17 and I've had two doses of it but I won't be continuing it. I have gained weight that is IMPOSSIBLE to lose, I get head rushes and I feel dizzy almost every time I stand up and lots of cramping. I stopped getting my period but one every month-two months I have a few drops of blood but that's it. I'm not happy with the shot but it was effective."


"I've tried going on Yasmin twice before after being on different pills (I changed because of weight-gain), but never lasted more than 3 days on it because of the intense mood swings on it. This is the third time trying it and I'm just going on a week and I've never felt worse in my life. I get major mood swings, feel like I'm always on the verge of crying, getting easily irritated, getting jealous/paranoid and have a strange feeling of 'self-awareness'. I'm not happy and will be changing back to the previous pill as soon as possible. Seems to have worked well with others but for me, it's been a nightmare."


"I'm 16 as of right now but when I was prescribed it 5 years ago my whole life had changed. People actually wanted to be around me cause I wasn't constantly sniffing and snorting. My sinuses were as clear as the sunny sky. Life was so much better."


"I started on an anxiety medication that caused me weight gain so I switched to Pristiq, which I was told was good to help control weight gain even reverse it. I have been on it for 3 months and my weight gain has exploded putting on 6 kgs, i still feel a little uneasy. Maybe I need to up my dose, but so very depressed that my weight is out of control."


"I read a lot of reviews so was so scared cuz it seem like a bad pill but honestly I love it so much the only side effect I have is dizziness & nauseous but they are minimum after that I feel good. I have been on this pill for a week Today I will report after I finish my pack. BTW this is the 1st birth control pill I ever take"


"I gained 6 lbs on this pill in one month. It was a last ditch effort at the bc pill for me. I have tried many others with many issues. My acne I get on my chin is ok hasn't gotten better or worse. No nausea or stomach pains. I have had some issues with constipation on this pill also. I have been having issues sleeping on this pill. Hey I'm not pregnant though..."


"I'm so happy for you all. It is just pure hell dealing with depression, no sleep, continual thoughts, obsessive compulsive disorder, and not happy at all. Maybe if we all get figured out that this is what we need. Imagine how cheap our health insurance could go to. This is wonderful, I take folic acid and it does make a big difference."


"It helps my anxiety disorder and i broke my back and had 12 hours spinal surgeryso now im loaded in metal and now it even helps me with the pain"


"I've had this birth control for eight months   and I've been heavily menstruating every day since I've had it. Two weeks after getting it put in, I started bleeding and never stopped; with the exception of a month that I took birth control pills. I also have no energy, have developed anemia and my sex drive got so low that I actually developed an aversion to sex. This birth control was the worst decision I've ever made. It was my first time trying any type of birth control and it was not worth it. I haven't been intimate with my husband in several months."


"I have been on trulicity for a year and 6 months. First year .75 then went up to 1.5 last 6 months. I like it no side effects at all. Even with the high dosage. I went from 203lbs down to 180lbs. 23 lbs. lost without trying. Sugar is still going up. But it bought me probably 2 years or more before insulin. Which means a lot when you drive for a living. My age is 58 and a half."


"I have foliculitis that started from a insect bite. This medicine works but my skin feels so hot all over my body when I take it. It feels feverish but no actual fever. It does work very well though. I'm just so hot!"


"I have taken .05 mg 1/2 pill 2x a day as needed, usually just 1/2 pill before bed to ease anxiety to sleep, there have been times when I was having severe panic attacks & have used up to 2 pill a day. I have GAD & this pill have same me many times from running to the ER. Mental health is no joke. Being very sensitive to meds a small dose helps me, you will need to find what works best for you. Too high dose can cause drowsiness or put you to sleep. I also take Zoloft for anxiety & deoression. Been on these meds for 5 years now, it works for me! Talk to your doctor always, best to be prescribed by psychiatrist since they specialize in these matters. Good luck in your journey! Your never alone there's always help available if you seek it!! "


"Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but when it does ...it does."


"I have horrible persistent anxiety & panic disorder & have been taking one benzo or another, mainly Klonopin for the past 18 years. I tried all of the other anxiety meds & nothing worked but benzos. I've been on .5mg of Klonopin most recently for the past couple years. Recently I had surgery & was put on Oxycodone for pain. As soon as my psychiatrist found out about this he cut me off my klonopin abruptly after my last prescription ran out. I called his office in a panic & he phoned in a script for Atarax 25mg 1 or 2 pills every 6 hours as needed for anxiety. What a joke. Made my anxiety & panic worse. I am now getting Xanax from other places to treat my anxiety since doctors will not help."


"It works really well however you have to know that you are substituing one benzodiazepine for another. Please take your time with this medication. Taper off the medication as prescribed by your doctor. You do not want to become dependent on another benzodiazepine. Good luck!"


"I've been on birth control for over 5 years. After my original was recalled I got started on this. I got my period 2 times a month which was normal to me because my old birth control did it do me at the beginning. Well I'm 5 months into it and I'm now getting my period almost 3 times a month. It doesn't last as long as a normal period but its enough to give me bad cramps. Not only that, but I'm ALWAYS tired and have mood swings. The only good side effect would be I haven't had any acne on my back (it might also be because of the weather now). Overall, I'm quitting this birth control. "


"Pricey ($10 off with discount card, but still around $75) but WELL WORTH it for me.  After some spotting in the first few weeks, I have had very little unscheduled bleeding, which is one of the more bothersome side effects I've experienced with other oral contraceptives.  My mood is stable and much improved relative to being on other oral contraceptives as well.  I have taken it continuously (skipped the inactive pills) for several months and have had no bleeding/spotting whatsoever, which I love, although I don't require a period to reassure me that I'm not pregnant since I'm that "perfect user" they refer to in the literature. Take it every 24 hours on the dot!"


"I had a bad car wreck in 2011, caused chronic back pain.  I have had 5 surgeries which ended up putting in a spinal cord stimulator.  That helps with nerve pain, but not back pain so much.  I eventually was put on Zohydro 40mg about 1 year ago.  He first tried 30mg, but upped it after a month or so to be covered better.  It has been a wonderful medicine to help me have a productive life.  I still use (3) norco 5mg/325mg for break through pain a day.  Looking at possibly moving to Zohydro 50mg next month as pain has slowly increased more lately.  But all in all, it has been a great drug and has helped me live a productive life with chronic pain.  The SCS also has helped tremendously.  It is very expensive before meeting my deductable ($500)"


"Livalo did bring my numbers down very well in about 6 weeks. However I am now off it with my doctor's blessing as I cannot take the side effects of terrible shoulder pain as well as hands, neck, back, knees & the worsening of neuropathy in the feet and a dull ache in the head.  Experienced increased thirst, feeling of having a fever (though not). My memory was not as sharp. I have experienced this on Lipitor, Crestor, Vitoryn, Pravastatin & now Livalo.  My doctor said he does not want me in pain & said there are people who have high numbers but still do fine. Have been off Livalo for about a week & see symptoms improving.  I am tired of living on "Statin Island",  so once again I have moved on. Am trying plant sterols, pectin, fiber, oats."


"I've been on Concerta for about 2 months now. While the effect is much more gradual compared to the "hitting a brick wall at 100mph" effect Aderall gave me, there were some negative aspects. The first week I was a little shaky, which I also had with the other medicines I've tried (Vyvanse, Aderall, Ritalin). First dose always seems to make me feel really depressed and sick, then the next day I feel much better after my dose. Unfortunately, after the first month of use I've built up a strong tolerance to it and it doesn't work for me anymore. Thinking about trying a higher dosage."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This medication should be outlawed for its horrible taste!!! I couldn't finish it all. And FYI for those of you worrying about SuPrep not working...my doctor said some people have no results until after the second cup!"


"I've had Nexplanon in for two weeks and I'm pleasantly surprised so far. Today I started spotting, very lightly. I haven't gained any weight, I've actually lost, but I eat right and exercise. My doctor explained to me that I may feel hungrier at times because of the increase in estrogen, and at those times I just need to remember to make the right food choices. I have had a slight increase in acne, and I asked my doctor about that before I had the implant inserted. She told me that my skin will start producing more oil, which I have noticed. So all I did was buy some oil absorbing face wash and toner, and it's been great since then! Those were my three main concerns, my doctor was great at explaining to me why those things happen."


"I am on week three on Junel Fe 1/20 and so far it has been great. This is my first birth control pill. Today I am week three on Sunday and I started have some spotting. I haven't had sex yet without a condom, not sure if I should."


"My Dr. Prescribed this Transderm patch prior to an outpatient procedure. I was very careful and followed the instructions  making sure to wash my hands before and after placing the patch behind my ear. Only to wake up 10 hours later feeling so dizzy and nauseous. Worst of all was my vision. When I arrived at the hospital My vision was so blurry I couldn't even read the paperwork I was signing, couldn't see the time on my cell phone or read any messages. My pupils were very dialated, this lasted for 2 days. I'm on day 3 and my vision is back to normal, but upon doing to much I'm still dizzy and nauseous. I always read thoroughly before I take anything. So I know I did NOT get this in my eyes by not doing as directed. Scary stuff!!"


"Omg!!! Please dont get this implant !!!
I had it for 2 1/2 years , and I experienced

 I bled 2/3 weeks out of a month
I was fatigued
Weight gain
Moodiness occurred often
Pelvic pain

Please don't do this to yourself it's just not worth
I thought it removed yesterday and I already feel better ,"


"I am my second day and just took my evening dose, I seriously thought I was dying. The second the medicine hit my lungs I could not breath. It took all I could do to find my rescue inhaler. This was just now the most frightening experience I have ever had with an RX.... I am still shaking as I type this. Beware, I read this as a side affect.... (Rare)....just make sure you have your rescue inhaler close to you. Done with this RX!"


"No side efects at all"


"I have been on bupropion for a month. I have lost the sadness, obsessive dark thoughts and have more energy and less aches and pains. I felt a little weird taking it a first( mild headache, taste in my mouth) but those have gone. This is great stuff and feel hopeful and focused. I am not snappy and withdrawn from my spouse."


"Difference between night and day."


"My son started having bad acne when he turned 16. I bought tons of "acne treatments" that you can buy in stores, online from Paula's Choice, Clinique, and even tried Proactive, nothing worked and most made it worse. I felt horrible for him & finally said enough of the rubbish products and took him to the dermatologist who gave him a dermabrasion treatment & a prescription for Onexton. There are even cards that cover most of the cost even if you have insurance. They say 1 bottle/month but it lasts 6 months. My son's face began to clear up within 2 weeks! He is now 19 & hasn't had a break out since he started using Onexton. I am so thankful for this product! Don't waste money and precious time with your child's life, go straight to a dermatologist!"


"This helped with urination flow but was bad on sex life. After being on it for short time only 4 days . Has caused trouble with very little  painful semen release, and problems staying erect during that time. The side effects out way the benefits."


"Within two days of starting Cymbalta, I had 'flashing lights' in my peripherals (which didn't go away for two years) and nausea. Not that big of a deal. But on day three, I was hit by an insane attack on what I assume was my central nervous system. I felt like my chest was in an ice bath, my internal temp dropped several degrees, my groin felt like it was on fire (burning/cramping), I started shaking and sweating and went into full blown panic. After taking a week off, I tried the drug again. Same thing. Absolutely awful. My doctors/pharms had never heard of these side effects, which were worse than my symptoms (anxiety-related feeling of throat/tongue swelling).

I switched to Effexor (SNRI), which finally worked."


"I am diagnosed with Bipolar II and PTSD. I have been on 300mg of Lamictal for over 3 years and it is, indeed, a life saver!  When I first started taking it I felt as if a warm gentle hand reached in and touched me exactly where it hurt. As I write this I recall that before starting Lamictal I had excruciating pain in my solar plexus. I was in a deep state of bipolar depression with spikes of rage and extreme anxiety at least 2 times each month. Lamictal has made these mixed state less severe and not as frequent. I also take Paxil CR.  As for side effects, at first I had headaches and nausea but I endured them gladly.  "


"I took Accutane for 5 months when I was 17 and saw amazing results. I thought that Accutane was supposed to clear acne forever, but mine came back when I was about 21, but not as bad as it was when I was a teenager. After trying other treatments for the past 3 years, I am starting on Accutane for the second time. I do not remember having any side effects, not even dryness. I really hope that it works as well as it did the first time."


"Along with Celexa at 20mg, for about 5 weeks, I take 150mg of Wellbutrin, and 40 mg of methadone. I've had several back surgeries so live with chronic pain.  Along with an improvement of depression and anxiety, I noticed that my appetite has decreased. No weight gain, maybe lost a couple pounds. I noticed improvement on the first couple days! I've tried Prozac & Welbutrin, individually & together, but not much help.  I recommend giving Celexa a try over any other medicines."


"This is only what helps me."


"I've been on Junel Fe for 6 months. Since being on it, my periods don't last as long and are usually really light, I don't have severe cramping or severe nausea, haven't really spotted. The only bad thing in my experience is that I've gained 30 pounds in four months while taking this and so far no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to lose any of that extra weight. Believe me, I am making a huge effort to lose this weight. This medication is the only difference in my life that can account for the weight gain, unless I have some illness or medical problem that I am unaware of (I am only twenty years old with no medical history of any diseases in my family). Also, I have taken pregnancy tests and I am not pregnant."


"This is the first birth control pill I've ever been on and have no major complaints.  I'm a healthy height/weight and exercise regularly.  I just finished my third pack.  During the first month, I had breakthrough bleeding (as expected with most pills) off and on, but that was it.  My breasts are a little more tender, but it's nothing bothersome.  The pill definitely hasn't bothered my sex drive either.  I'm glad I stuck out the first month, because this pill has been great for me so far!"


"Had to get on it since they discontinued Loestrin 24 Fe because it was supposedly the same. ALL LIES! It decreased my libido which is something that I've never experienced before. Loestrin was the best I'd ever had. Minastrin was also expensive. Had to pay 100 dollars a month for one pack! I'm off of it now and have the implan Nexplanon. I'll see how this goes. If this doesn't work out then I'll be finding another pill"


"Solodyn worked so well for me. My dermatologist prescribed it, and now I don't get acne at all. The only bad thing is that when I run out, I almost immediately break out. Oh well. It's probably just 13 year old acne. It'll go away when I'm older."


"I've been using these pills 3 months now. I've had very heavy bleeding for so long that I welcomed a change. The first two months were awesome. My cycle was  very light and lasted the normal five days. No cramping, very little bloating.
This third month my cycle came like clockwork lasted five days then two weeks later returned. My breast have been very tender and although very small they feel heavy
I'm not giving up yet."


"I have ADHD, OCD, and depression. The moment I took this medication my intrusive thoughts from OCD went away. I am no longer depressed, even when life should be getting me down. Everything seems bearable. I just feel like things are okay, I can make it. I've never felt like this before, really. Most of the time I get overwhelmed with life but I think this medication has pulled me out of the dark hole I was in before. It does make me very hungry and sleepy, I take it in the evenings. It's hard to get up in the morning but coffee fixes that for me. I don't recommend this to someone who can not control their eating habits and gains weight easily."


"This did not work at all for me.  I had no side effects and but didn't lose any weight."


"I had my fourth baby girl 3-31-13 and got the Nexplanon inserted 5-6-13 and I was not bleeding when I got it. A week later I started my period and it was light the first 3 days and then became heavy. I started being nausea, headache and had terrible cramps. I then decided to look up some reviews and side effects. After reading some reviews I became scared about the bleeding. But today is 3 weeks since I got it and I stopped bleeding today so that was a total of 2 weeks of bleeding and it did lighten up after 9 days so I decided to keep it. It all really depends on your body so you would have to try it & see for yourself. It is doing good for me and hopefully it does good for you."


"This is an awesome medication for those patients that are immune to 1st and 2nd generation psychotropic meds."


"Horrid pills for me.  Prescribed 5 days ago after developing BV post op from LEEP.  I have 3 days left and don't think I can make it. Have thrown up and been in a constant state of nausea when I'm not actually vomiting. Headache, tired, so sick don't want to move. I take with meal and do not have a weak stomach. Not sure how much longer I can take it. This really is not fun at all. 30 yrs old, 110 pounds."


"I had been struggling for several days with a severe head cold that was beginning to expand to my chest.  I was using other over the counter medications with little effect.  A co-worker mentioned Mucinex D and I began to experience significant relief with the first dose.  I did add an over-the-counter nighttime pain reliever which really helped me to sleep through the night."


"I had to stop taking lithium because it was damaging my kidneys and I got really sick, so I had to turn to Lamictal and expected it to not be as good. But it really is. The only downside is that since you have to slowly increase your dose to avoid the terrible rash, it might take a while for you to get to a level where it's helping as much as it can. But once you get up to the dose that's right for you, it's awesome and I haven't noticed any bad side effects."


"I've been taking Cafergot / ergotamine for over 25 years and it's the only med that actually relieves small cluster headaches to full blown migraines. I don't even want to try another because this works so fast with no side effects. I see where the pharmaceutical companies are trying to take it off the market. Please don't. I honestly don't know what I'd do if it were no longer available."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and put on medicines including Pradaxa. I have never been on any other blood thinning medicines, so this is all new to me.

Almost immediately I noticed a severe increase in gas, followed a week later by loose bowels. Yesterday I developed heartburn that will not go away even with Tums and Zantac.

I appreciate the suggestions about taking with food and lots of water. I take 150 mg twice a day. I was trying to take 12 hours apart, at about 8 am and 8 pm, but it looks like taking at breakfast and dinner is better.

I have had an ulcer, hiatal hernia and GERD about 10 years ago that was finally improved by surgery. Sure hate to go back to heartburn again!"


"Me and my fiance were out drinking one night and the sex got a little crazy. I pulled out a little to late and I told her what I had done. So we showered and then immediately went to our 24hr Walgreens and purchased the pill like 30 minutes after the incident. She took it ASAP. It six weeks later and guess what? She's pregnant! This pill is such a waste of money."


"Wonder drug.  I tried many others. Maxalt MLT works so quick and free of all the usual side effects.  I can use Maxalt MLT and within 30-60 minutes return to normal activities free of the normal after migraine haziness.  It has given me my life back.  Many thanks to Dr. Z. for prescribing this."


"This has changed my life. I thought it was depression but this has helped better than 10 different antidepressants."


"Absolutely hate this medication. I've been in the hospital with the norovirus, just to find out I have c diff now and have been taking this medication 3x a day for 10 days. So sick of the nausea, can't tell anymore if the nausea is from c diff or the medicine. Almost done with the medication and I couldn't be more happy. Lost 15 pounds, haven't ate anything no matter how hard I try, dehydrated and sick to my stomach. Absolutely hate this medication and the metallic taste."


"I was on Microgestin 1.5/30 and then Junel for years with absolutely no problems. I had a regular period, mild cramps, and minimal PMS. Since being put on Gildless by my insurance, my cramps are worse and the PMS has been much more prominent. I am really unhappy with this and am changing brands in hopes of a better outcome."


"The itching and burning from this medication is worse than from the yeast infection. I usually use the 7-day treatment with no problem, but the 3-day is awful."


"I have severe back problems and ended up in the emergency room I was not  able to walk or hold up my torso! I was given intravenous Dilaudid and was given immediate relief! Unfortunately after 4 doses of 2mg oral tablets I had to discontinue use I developed hives over 90 percent of my body."


"I had a terrible experience with this birth control. I couldn't take it for more than two days because it made me so sick. I couldn't stop vomiting. I wish it had worked for me because the price was great! I'm hoping for more luck on the second kind I'm trying."


"I'm a hemophiliac with severe arthritis and due for a right hip and left knee replacement.  My entire life I've lived with chronic pain from bleeding episodes to my degenerative joint disease.  I've been prescribed liquid morphine, Dilaudid, Vicodin, morphine sulfate, Tylenol 3's, Oxycontin, pretty much everything they've got.  But the only thing that truly does help me function in my everyday life without getting to loopy is Percocet.  I give it a 10."


"Wow is all I can say.  I did not realize how lousy I was feeling until I started this drug. I feel so much better. The first two days I was jittery and the first week slightly queasy but I noticed by day two an increase in my energy and desire to do my everyday activities and a DECREASE in my appetite.  I have no desire to binge eat like I do when my anxiety is bad. I have so much more patience with my children. I still have anxiety but it is calmed with Klonopin and I am starting Buspar this evening before bed. The only bad thing is that it has been very constipating for me. I drink prune juice and have added fiber and Metamucil but it is still a problem.
I have taken many meds over the years but I truly find this a miracle drug."


"My son is 6 AND has been diagnosed with ADHD. Concerta is one of the medications we have tried. It does wonders for him during the day, he has GONE from being the class clown to top student. He always had it in him just lacked the ability to stay focused long enough to show it. However, during the evening is when we started noticing the difference it made in our child. He doesn't eat, he whispers even when everyone else was being loud, he became very emotional, and he would sit with a coloring books and color for hours... or sit at the computer playing games, he never slept . This was very unlike our son... he was usually climbing walls like spiderman... running around... jumping... happy go lucky! He became very withdrawn. We took him off it."


"This topical steroid works better than any of the others I've tried in knocking down inflammation and slight relief from itch."


"I switched to this because it is the highest dosage after experiencing breakthrough bleeding on my last pill which I was also on for two years. All breakthrough bleeding has stopped and my period has even shortened from 7 days on my old pill to 5 days on this one. I experienced some nausea in the mornings the first day or two of each new pill pack the first couple months but this only lasted maybe 3-4 months and I have experienced this symptom every time I try a new birth control so I do not know if it is specific to this pill. I also gained about 10 lbs the first couple months that shed a few months later but this is also a typical symptom I have experienced on every pill I have tried. Overall, this pill works and has no serious symptoms."


"I have suffered from Restless Leg Syndrome since I was a child. This medication has made a HUGE difference in my life. No more leg pain."


"The taste was like no other. Gagging quickly ensued followed by desperate attempts to wash down the vile substance with applejuice. Just when I thought the worst was over and realizing I had finally finished drinking the suprep, a rumble consumed my entire body and I ran to the bathroom. I am not a fan of excercise, but this made me wish I had done more cardio in the past. When I reached the toilet, I cannot express the rate at which liquid projectiled from my butt. I swore that I lifted at least a foot from the toilet on some thrusts. My boyfriend was nice enough to bring me a TV, ipad, cell phone, heater, and water bottle as we realized i would have to bunker down for the night."


"I'm 20 years old and have been dealing with Testicular Neuralgia, which causes severe pain in the scrotum, for more than a year. Vicodin didn't sustain my pain nearly as much as Roxicodone does. My Pain Doctor prescribed me 15 mg of Oxycodone (Roxicodone) six times a day. This medication has literally given me my life back. It simply takes my pain away for hours and I can function 100% better. I take this along with MS Contin and a muscle relaxer. 10/10 rating!"


"I am smack in the middle of the effects of this drug. NOT on the effects it has on ADHD but the effects it has on the rest of my mental health... I first started Vyvanse 4 years ago, with no other underlying mental health issues other than ADHD. When I first started taking the Vyvanse, it completely saved my life. I was confident, energetic, motivated, and happy. Only about a month later, stopped working SIGNIFICANTLY and I felt like my life was over, that was because in only a short month, I became addicted to SPEED, which is what this is, by the way. It will help you INCREDIBLY, but only for the amount of hours it works before it wears off, and then you will feel worse than you have ever felt in your life, and end up getting addicted."


"Took Yasmin for 6 months now and had some nausea in the beginning but I think my body is getting used to the pill. Overall, my mood has gotten better, I used to experience mood swings.
I'm switching to Microgynon 30 and see how it works for me now."


"Since I started using Breo I still need a maintenance dose of 20 mg of prednisone, but I rarely use my rescue inhaler, and my nebulizing has gone from once every 4 hours to once every 8 hours. At Stage 4 COPD, this medication has given me tremendous relief."


"I am currently on my fifth year on Nexplanon. When I first got it implanted. I noticed that I gained ALOT of weight. Within the first couple months I noticed my weight jump to 30lbs. I have struggled with my weight I questioned my doctor. Who said it doesn't cause weight gain. Then when it was time to renew my implant I gained and additional thirty pounds!!! After that I told my doctor I was told to change my diet. I did lose 30lbs. By exercising and eating less but it was a struggle. I am stuck at the first thirty pounds I dont have periods with this birth control at all! After talking with a friend of the family she did say that Nexplanon indeed caused weight gain. she had a similar experience. I'm not pregnant I guess that good. I don't"


"I took Minocin in my late teens for about 5 years and from what I remember I never had a single outbreak or flare up while taking it.  Having said that, if I missed a few days meds the acne would break out. Though it never cleared my skin completely it most certainly helped."


"I have taken Glipizide and Glipizide XL in conjunction with metformin for a number of years with no side effects.  Anyone taking Glipizide (not XL) should be aware that blood sugar levels can plummet quickly and that dosage timing may need to be readjusted.  With Glipizide XL, I have not experienced these fluctuations; however, the positive control appears to take effect much slower as this is a time-released form."


"I gained a lot of weight when I was on my other pill so my doctor but me on Aviane and I lost all the extra weight in less than a week. Best pill out there!"


"No craving, can handle the side effects. Wanted to stop by Week 8, I am in Week 6 and didn't think about smoke."


"I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for about 7 months now. I take it on the dot at the exact same time every day and have never missed a pill. I started out getting two periods a month. I'd get (what felt like a period) a week after my placebo pills and then I would bleed lightly a week before my placebos. As the months have gone by though my "periods" have been getting lighter and lighter and this month (month 7) is the first month I haven't had my light discharge and cramps after the placebo pills. I'm hoping this is a good sign. Even though this pill is unpredictable, I don't have headaches, breast tenderness, or acne like my last pill."


"I had tried Lyrica for fibromyalgia & it made me severely tired, and didn't help the aches & pains at all. Once I switched to Cymbalta, I felt great!  The aches & pains were reduced by at least 75% within 2 weeks! I've been on it 1.5 years & have had a gradual weight gain totaling 20lbs that started the same month I started the Cymbalta. My rheumatologist says its not Cymbalta related, but I'm thinking of maybe trying another medicine just to see.     But I'm afraid nothing will work as well as the Cymbalta. I also take 250mg Soma at night to help me sleep which works great."


"I was on  a IUD for 5 years prior to getting this birth control put in my arm in at first it seemed ok no periods my children are 18 years and 15 years and the thought of starting over was scary being after becoming a teen mother. After a year or so I started having problems with my arm being in so much pain (this was the same arm  the birth control was in.) I consulted with my doctor she said you're fine you have no periods or acne so keep it in a while longer. Less than 3 months later I was back I pleaded with her please take it out my whole arm was in so much  pain she says its not the birth control. After 2 years its out I still believe to this day it was the birth control but theres no proof my arm and left side still is in so much pain don't get this birth control"


"Tretinoin 0.025 helped me tremendously. 1 hour after cleansing I put it on, no peeling. Took 2 months to see results. First tone of the skin improved, then smaller and smaller break outs. I had like lumps under my skin before. If skin dries too much I use all natural products like shea butter to moisturise. Works. Now after 6 months of bi-daily use NO ACNE!!!! Whohoo! Did not think a cream would work for a severe acne I had. I don't even need the stronger version 0.05%. Skin is plump and not dry. Scars begin to fade, too."


"I was on tricyclen for 1 year and it was a definite 10 for the time being, no babies... However, around the 10th month I started to feel like Something wasn't right.. I was getting harsh pains in my arms and legs daily, Id get stabbing chest pains and sometimes weird feelings and sometimes stabbing, excruciating pains in my uterus.. Not to mention the intense mood swings and random crying and anger all the time.. My head always felt like it had pressure in it, or like someone was stabbing my brain with an ice pick. If you don't want a baby, this is the Birth Control for you, however be aware of the f'd up side effects! I quit taking it 2 weeks ago and feel almost back to normal but still haven't seen a doctor"


"I have taken this twice in the past for dental and skin infection, and am currently on it again, all for dental issues. I developed C. diff after both previous cycles of taking this medicine, with the most recent being near-fatal. That said, it's the best medicine for treating broad-spectrum serious infections, so it did work on the initial infection well each time. I have also developed a mild blistery rash on my chest and upper arms while taking this in the past, but it cleared up when finishing the meds. My only major warning: if you develop C diff. symptoms in the weeks or months following this medication (several watery/loose stools per day, weakness, stomach pain, vomiting, nausea), insist your doctor test a stool sample to culture for C. Diff."


"Immediate results in lowering my blood pressure and holding steady after 2 weeks. Having feeling of light-headedness but doesn't last very long. Seems to be a great drug...so far so good."


"I was 17 when I got this put in, the insertion process was completely fine;the anaesthetic felt a bit like a really odd dull sting going up and down my arm, but not noticeably painful at all. Felt my skin tugging when the implant went in but again it didn't hurt.  After I got it, I had a couple of months of really odd periods-- it started with random day (or even couple-of-hour) long spotting or really light flow in no sort of cycle, then became very heavy long-lasting periods every fortnight or so. However, they changed again and now I haven't had a period in a good few months, and this has been the longest stage of all of them. It hasn't quite been a year yet but it seems to have settled down like this. I have no regrets about getting it!"


"I've been taking this for a few years and I have severe headaches often along with suffering with low back pain which is constant on my left side and nothing is soothing it. Laying down is excruciating and I'm in the process of running test. This started about 4 months ago and I have been trying to deal with it and hope that it would eventually go away. It's becoming unbearable."


"I have been on Pradaxa for one week, no heartburn or gastro problems, but I do find myself waking up during the night. I was taking the medicine before I went to bed, will change that to dinnertime."


"After 20 years of constipation, and swallowing all the products on the market (MiraLax, Senakot, Phillips-ect), I think this Linzess product may be the answer. I have been on it for almost a week and today the diarrhea is gone. I notice that after I eat a meal, I get really bloated. I guess I need to give this medicine more time. I do hope this is my answer!"


"Lately I've been feeling "off", I feel moody and sometimes want to cry for no reason.  I recently felt super nauseous, dizzy and felt like I was going to faint while driving but for no apparent reason.  I went to the doctor and everything was fine.  I went to the optometrist and everything with my eyes was fine.  I've had panic attacks, severe anxiety, a feeling of "blah", headaches and dizziness plus all around weirdness and I believe its from these pills. I was on a different birth control a while ago and I got weird symptoms from it too.  I'm going to change my pill and see if that does the trick.  Plus I've gained SO MUCH WEIGHT from this pill."


"I got this IUD a week ago, after much research, and after several years of trying to be on birth control but hating the mood swings and forgetting to take it all the time.
The insertion wasn't too bad. It didn't hurt so much as feel odd/uncomfortable, like a consistent cramp that lasted. I have pretty bad period cramps as it is so it wasn't too bad for me. I was surprised at how quick it went overall. My whole appointment took 40 minutes and 3/4 of that was waiting and signing the paperwork. I went back to work after and worked for 3 hours before heading home for the day. I felt tight and crampy but it was bearable with motrin. The next day and ever since, I've had very light spotting but other than that felt great and perfectly normal!"


"I've been on this pill since January (it is now July) and sadly I've developed cystic acne from it and now I'm on accutane. If I would've realized sooner that it was the culprit, I would've stopped immediately. I took this pill in the first place for my acne only. I was someone who had moderate acne and this cystic acne has made me so depressed. If you notice changes in your skin 4/5 months in that aren't good, I would say to change your pill. My problem is that I read reviews saying it would get better and it just gradually got worse. I also read reviews that said your skin would get used to it before it got better and that wasn't true for me at all. Save yourself before it gets worse definitely. Wish I could put pictures of my acne here :("


"So I was prescribed 25 mg initially I slept like the dead and saw a reduction in migraines though had low energy that wore off after about 3 weeks .. So did the reduction in migraines in 5 months I gained over 20lbs which very carefully watching my diet so definitely not for me ... On the upside it significantly reduced my anxiety and stabilized my mood ... I would have definitely stayed on it just for that if it wasn't for the weight gain."


"It worked great in the beginning, but within a few months lost its effectiveness, and I needed more and more to get the same effect. I also felt like I was addicted to it. It was the first thing I went for in the morning."


"I started taking Saxenda 6 days ago...right at the 3mg dose...starting weight 275. I have lost 10 pounds because I am not eating very much or at night; I'm not hungry at all.  I have to force myself to eat.  I was told to keep the Saxenda refrigerated so it won't burn, and I still can't believe I'm injecting myself...I used to be such a needle phobe! I do not feel the needle going in and it doesn't hurt.  I have had bad heartburn so I've been eating some TUMS and I bruise easily.  I've been a little nauseous at times, but nothing unbearable.  Certainly all worth it and the cravings are gone.  I don't even feel like going out to eat and that is not like me."


"I am in my late 40's.  Had bad mood dips for my whole life 3-5 days before my cycle.  Bad enough to think about divorce and feel that life was utterly black and hopeless every month, then swinging back to everything being fine a few days later.  I finally got up the guts to talk to a gyn about it.  Fluoxetine has changed my whole family life.  I finally feel able to reasonably handle the normal rhythm of things.  If any one wonders if their mood swings are bad enough to take something to help, I advise you to talk to your provider and give Prozac a try.  There is nothing to lose and everything to gain.  "


"I am on sertraline 100mg and 30mg of mirtazapine. As soon as I started taking it it helped immediately- it really helped with my depression but I now need to sleep around 11 hours a night - and as a result I am now registered as disabled with my university. I don't so much mind the additional sleep - people understand. However the weight gain is harsh.... I have been on it about a year and I have put on about a stone. I now ( when I'm at home) eat very healthily and the weight has started to go- but now I have been on holiday for 2 weeks and I have definitely put weight back on. But for me it is so effective with my depression - when I have sufficient sleep- I will just have to learn to deal with it and change my diet while I'm on this!"


"I will let the results speak for themselves.  A1C from 7.2 to 5.9.  Weight loss of 53 pounds without dieting.  Some of the weight came back so I will need to exercise more or eat less,"


"Was instructed to use Imiquimod only three times a week for basal cell on my nose. Wait until sores appeared and then resolved. Use for three months. There were no negative side effects and it worked well. I am using cream again on another spot on my face and I believe the cancer has disappeared. Will see Dr. in two weeks."


"Topamax saved my life.  I am 43 years old and have suffered from migraines since I was 18.  I found Topamax this past June.  Now it has been 7 months and life without migraines is wonderful.  No more fear of when the Big One will hit. The weight loss (20lbs) was nice too.  My worst side effect is the stumbling and grasping for words.  My kids die laughing.  So do I.  My husband doesn't understand that part but it's ok.  As long as the headaches don't come.  I still have small, treatable headaches (part of another problem that I hope soon goes away).  Topamax is my hero.  Take away my car, my clothes, my house...but don't take away my Topamax."


"I got my RA seven years ago and have eaten Mtx since then. For me it has worked great.
I had no weird side effects either.

I ate 8 tablets a week for seven years, but now I'm down to 6 tablets .... it works great too.

I am Swedish, and our Mtx looks a bit different."


"I took Belviq for 2 months and lost 25 pounds. From 178 lbs to 153. The only side effects I had was a foggy/ floating feeling for the first week until my body got used to it then no problems with it after that. I had to stop taking them when I got sick and I can't wait to start taking it again. Before I started Belviq I went from a size 2 to a size 16 in about 7 years from a very poor diet, no exercize and having a baby. I got up to 200 pounds. I tried all kinds of diets and nothing worked. I had terrible will power, I thought about food all day and when I thought I was hungry I would attack anything near me. Belviq helped me realize when my body was actually hungry. Like willpower in a pill. LOVE it!"


"80% effective at curbing my day to day anxiety with absolutely no side effects that I am able to determine. However, I still have spikes in anxiety. My doctor recently increased me from 150mg to 225mg in an effort to help with the spikes."


"Just started Celexa, and already I noticed the more feeling of calm, and calm is not something I think I've ever been, I get angered easy, upset, cry, feel overwhelmed, hopeless, feel better off dead, mood always up and down because of how many losses I have had in my life, feeling like a failure, you name it, I really hope this helps me long term. I've noticed a difference already and am optimistic."


"Takes a while to get to sleep  but once asleep  that's how I stay. However  I have found that it still effects me the next day. .....extremely  groggy  and exhausted.  Not for me ."


"Was on Junel Fe and it worked according to my needs...which was to have a lighter more manageable PERIOD or no PERIOD at all. After taking Junel for a year, all was well. Upon my renewal, I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription to be told that Junel Fe had been recalled or discontinued, but Blisovi was the same medication. IT IS NOT! Where my cycle had been light to non existent, never experienced cramping even before being on birth control, I have now been on Blisovi since the end of October 2016 and my cycle has gone haywire! Sudden unexpected menstruation, including severe cramping is not the answer! Had me over here thinking about getting on Depo, but I feel that is not the answer either. I am contacting my doctor immediately!"


"Ok I don't lie but I went on it because of tremendous pain. I didn't even know was caused by heroine. Let me tell you something, it was the best thing I ever did. I got my life together and no doubt it helped with my mood and pain. Unfortunately my symptoms are so severe now I can't sit still or stand or work. My life had become not of my own. I would say try it because you have nothing to loose but don't fool yourself because there are always withdrawals, you must listen to your Dr!!!! I only wish I had a Dr who could help me. I'm on disability and cant find anyone to help. I'm in a living hell but I wont show it. I would do anything to be able to walk down the street without my legs going out from under me. I'm only 46. Hope its your miracle."


"Only been on it about 6 weeks and only up to 30mg. Moods are a little better so far but insomnia hello. I'm lucky to get 3 or 4 hours a nite I don't get how all of you sleep. I used to fall right asleep with my topamax at nite. Now he has me taking my gabapentin, topamax and imipramine at bedtime optional Ativan too but then I wake up groggy defeating the purpose of great mood in the am.
Hum maybe my meds don't play nice together at nite lol. I do get the dry mouth I really hate that but it has improved my morning moods which is what we were going for. I do have anxiety and it doesn't help with a quick onset. I am hopeful for this med as I have tried just about everything out there!"


"I started NuvaRing 3 months ago and really enjoy it compared to the pill. I was formerly in LoLoestrinFe and had horrible horrible mood swings and a complete disappearance of libido. On NuvaRing, my sex drive has somewhat returned (of course not as much as if I wasn't in birth control), it's easier for me to "get there", and I don't have PMS nearly as bad. It's not perfect but definite improvement for me. However I will say I've had minor weight gain, and some minor hair loss. Honestly, I prefer those side effects over the moods I was feeling whilst on the pill. Hoping that with continued usage, the side effects go away as I've only been on this for 3 months. Even better that my insurance covers it 100%!"


"This medicine is a lifesaver without a doubt"


"I took Yaz for 2 months for acne and it worked really good for that. I loved how I didn't have anymore acne problems. I did gain about 6lbs. and went up in bra size big time. Everyone started calling me "Dolly" seriously that was all I could see on myself! It was very painful and my breasts felt like they were going to pop! I quit taking it and they went back down to normal!"


"Neurontin has changed my life dramatically. I suffered from high anxiety with panic and anxiety attacks. I started this medicine at about 19 and had been off and on it the past 13 years. It literally has made me a new person. When I don't use it I notice a lot of fatigue, worry, anxiety, etc. When I am using this medication, I can concentrate on the better side of things and am not so negative. In the beginning it did have some side effects such as a "loopy" feeling. Over time that did pass, and now gives me energy to get through the day. I am on 300mg 3 x day. I can also sleep much easier, and my carpal tunnel syndrome is dramatically better. Before I felt very snappy and impatient, now I handle things with a much more calm disposition. Love it."


"I used this because I had horrible morning sickness to the point where I was losing weight.  This made me feel like my old self again and I was able to enjoy my pregnancy."


"I was prescribed 20mg Celexa and 0.5mg of Xanax, first day I took both as directed, slept for an hour and a half and once I woke I had a panic attack for the next hour or so.  The next day I took just the Celexa, slept for an hour and a half again, this time the panic attack was much worse, dizzy, felt like getting sick, come close to calling 911. It finally subsided and went to bed only to lay there wide awake, felt out of it all day.

Dr said to stop taking it, prescribed Paxil since I've had success with it before."


"I suffered from severe stress for months before I started having chest pains. This sent me to urgent care and then the ER the following day. Tests were fine. The chest pain persisted for weeks and then I developed pain under both ribs. I continued to have these symptoms for months before I developed an interior tremor and twitching in my left foot. Becoming obsessed with my health only caused the symptoms to worsen and visits to my gyno, neuro, and GI all proved nothing. After 6 months of unrelenting and worsening symptoms, the panic attacks began. At this point I was on the brink of a meltdown and spent much of my downtime in bed. At this point I visited the psych. Started Lexapro. Symptoms worsened initially. Three weeks later...CURED!"


"After looking at reviews I was a bit scared to try Monistat. I tried it anyways and got the prefilled 3 day applicator. Its been 20 minutes since I've used the first dose and I am having no problems whatsoever. No burning, no itching nothing. So far I have no complaints. Now I just have to finish my doses and find out if it actually got rid of my yeast infection."


"Works well. I just hate that my periods are like 4 weeks long and I have mood swings."


"Ok so It played nice with me no side effects nothing well until I had instant noodles it's been three days and I'm still running in and out of toilet I've literally been manufacturing oil in there bright orange it's disgusting I'm never taking noodle for the rest of my life as for my weight I've lost 4kgs in a week I feel great warning stay away from oily foods I learnt the hard way"


"Very effective in lowing my blood pressure but for the three weeks I was on it I had horrible diarrhea (  I was told it would go away in a few days) and subsequently turned into bleeding problems  . I was on stomach meds for over one year after taking it for only three weeks and still to this day suffer from it. Be very careful with this med READ the warnings closely this side effect is rare but not a "unknown" reaction to this drug I was just unprepared and trusted my doctor, boy was I wrong.."


"Great. Just take them 5 mins before bed."


"Qsymia makes me think like a thin person.  I no longer have any compulsion to find think about food.  I have been obese for 98% of my adult life (I am 64) and tried everything.  With Qsymia, I can make all the right decisions (and a few wrong ones) that I have known all along I needed to make.  Now, just like a thin person, I am not driven to every fast food door, seconds or thirds of meals, eating a whole container or bag of anything.  With minimal effort and smart decisions, I have gone from obese to within 5 pounds of normal weight for my height.  No noteable side efffects - a little constipation when I don't eat much and a dry mouth.  If I forget to take Qsymia for a day or two I know right away - my old eating habits come right back"


"Bought abreva by recommendation of a friend who gets cold sores frequently and after using it for two days my cold sore shrank in size. My lip was totally swollen and it was three days before my birthday which was devastating, but abreva made the cold sore almost unnoticeable! Definitely would buy again, saved my life pretty much!"


"Wow!! Sicker than a dog yesterday. I had bronchitis and my Dr prescribed Levaquin. This morning already a marked improvement!! No side effects and on my way to feeling good as new!"


"Well this did what it was supposed to do until it didn't. Started in June of last year and I never had any bad side effects except maybe mood swings. It helped regulate my period to where I got it at almost the same time every month and my period wasn't as bad as it used to be.
I took this pill everyday (if I ever missed it it was only once, not multiple times in a row and I didn't miss it frequently. I probably only missed a pill three times from June last year to this March) and I also took it at the same time and I still got pregnant on it."


"I have taken many SSRIs in the past and this one worked far better for me than any other. Unfortunately I no longer have health insurance or a job and can't afford it. I now take Celexa, but it doesn't work near as well."


"I've taken Lamictal since 2002 and combined with two other drugs, I've been symptom free from bipolar since 2002."


"IF YOU HATE YOURSELF & YOUR VAGINA USE THIS... IF NOT DO NOT PURCHASE THIS. I knew I had a yeast infection but was too lazy to go to the doctors & figured I would give Monistat 3 day a go... WORST idea ever. Yesterday was night one and 2 minutes after inserting the suppository my vagina was on fire (the only way i can describe it is like having poison ivy and red ants in your lady parts). Had a script called in for me & the doctor recommended I finish out the Monistat because I apparently have a "really bad YI". Night 2 is tonight and is just as bad as last night. I WILL NOT BE DOING THIS A 3RD NIGHT. All of the responses to this are spot on. Learn from everyone elses mistakes!!!!!!!"


"I have suffered from migraines  since I was 15 , and am now 42. Maxalt has changed my life ! I used to be in agony for up to 3 days , but now at the first sign of an attack I take one , very rarely I have had to take another one a few hours after that if it started to come back . It can sometimes make me drowsy, but other times I have no side effects , just relief that there is something that actually works . I'm in Australia, so a pack of 4 costs me $25 ."


"I started this October 17th and just over a month later I have dropped about 10 lbs. Nothing earth shattering , but I have noticed a significant drop in my BP, which wasn't too high but high enough to do something about it. I finally found something that seems to be working with almost little to no effort in change of life style. Overall, I am extremely happy at the results. I do notice that every 4 days or so I am extremely hungry and find myself pigging out at a fast food place , but it is usually only once a week and does not seem to be tampering my results even doing this. I would recommend this to anyone that might be looking for a jump start in getting back on track to a life changing solution."


"I had been on my period for 3months. The microgestin 1/20 was causing heavy bleeding and blood clots. The dr switched me to 1.5/ 30 microgestin and I stopped bleeding in 5 days. I was finally able to consummate my new marriage. So grateful..."


"I have been on Cymbalta for about 6 months. In this time I lost my libido completely, suffered night sweats and couldn't work out if I was hot or cold during the day. I constantly felt sick both in my head and my stomach and suffered a general loss of energy, probably due to the crazy dreams and loss of sleep. I decided to quit Cymbalta cold turkey, and suffered major brain zaps and a general feeling of unwellness. The worst thing was, I didn't realise this is why I felt so sick and it was impossible to find a doctor who would take my symptoms seriously. None of them knew anything about the drug either. I had to work it out for myself. I've lost several months trying to work out why I always feel sick."


"I have been using Seasonique for 2 years now and after the first year I have had no problems other than some spotting when I forget to take the pill on time. If you push through the first year of nausea, mood swings, and some dryness during sex, it mulls over and the pill really is great once your body is adjusted."


"I was never diagnosed with PCOS, but I have had all the signs. Weight gain,facial hair,acne etc... I took myself off of Metformin back in 2012 when my doctor prescribed it due to the side effects. I couldn't handle them. I was losing too much weight and was constantly sick. My facial hair,acne and weight gain had become out of control in the last year so just 1 week ago I requested for Metformin. I had not had a period since December 2014 and it's is now May 2015. After just a week my appetite has decreased, my skin is clearing and my period came yesterday all on 500mg a day. I was told to increase this week to 1000mg. I'm hoping for a baby one day soon. My one is only child will be 12 this July and it's time."


"My PCP prescribed Azelastine 7 days ago for my nasal congestion. It worked like a charm on day 1 and I was able to have a good night's rest finally after 2 weeks of pre-allergy season nasal congestion. But a few days later, not sure what happened. I am more congested than ever.  It keeps me awake at night and then when it does kick in several hours later that's when it's almost time for me to wake up for work.  And that bitter taste it leaves behind is horrible. I'm always trying to cough it up before it gets down my throat. I would not recommend this drug. Hasn't worked for me since day 2."


"I have been on this birth control for over a year now and it is not working for me. I have no sex drive anymore. And on top of that I have very bad mood swings. It makes me a complete cow and I lose my temper very easily. This medication did not work for me."


"I have been suffering from migraines since I was 12 and getting them around 3 times a week. I am now 17. I was originally put on amitriptyline 10mg. Since then they would up my dosage by 10 mg until I found relief. For awhile 50mg was doing the trick plus it helped me sleep at night. But then the migraines came back. At one point I had 6 migraines in 3 days and I was put on steroids to stop the cycle. Now I'm taking 75mg every night. That was working until recently I started getting them again worse then ever before. Every time I get them I experience: weird vision loss, nausea, vomiting, lose feeling in arms/hands/mouth, excruciating pain all around my head. I have a lot of the side effects which make me question if I wanna take this anymore."


"I had terrible stomach/esophagial and mid back pain.  After a endoscopic procedure, I was found to have GERD, Barrett's esophagus & a small hiatial hernia.  The Carafate & Dexilant worked well to calm down the esophagitis pain/spasms/inflammation.  The Barrett's esophagus was detected using pathology and even though it was a very mild case, it is a serious disease and I will need a EGD performed yearly.  The Dexilant has worked wonders also. The two medicines are working well together. I have not had any side effects from the Carafate.  I take 1/2 to 1 tablet, as needed, up to 4 times/day. I chew it up and swallow with a small sip of water or you can dissolve it in water and drink it. Coats the stomach quicker. I have used it for 6 months."


"I'm on week 7, I thought would wait until the effects kicked in to write a review. Regarding the side effects, mild nausea and lethargy for a short while after taking the medication, nothing to avoid taking the pill for. As for the results, very mild, but I notice a difference.  I speak more clearly and confident to people and I overall am less anxious. One big thing,  my constant worry about my health has subsided. I am 31 and live a healthy life bit I get a stomach ache and think I have colon cancer. These thoughts I laugh at now. I recommend taking this. Only 8 stars because it is not a cure all, only you can be."


"7 months on this for anxiety and overall has been very effective. Significant insomnia, obvious decrease in libido. Back and forth on 10mg, then 20mg, and back to 10mg. I think 20mg is the best for me though. Recommend it but it does take a few weeks to level out and kick-in for sure."


"I started this medication 3 weeks ago.  I absolutely love it.  I have just a little bit of nausea and that's it.  Taking Gilenya with food seems to help the nausea. So far so good! I really hope it stays that way!"


"I've had a horrible cough for two weeks and for the past two days have a dry persistent cough that sounds horrific. I was prescribed Tessalon Perles 100mg twice a day and immediately stopped coughing. This medicine is wonderful and suppresses the urge to cough. I highly recommend this medicine. It does make you drowsy."


"I have been on taytulla for 6 months now and it has made me extremely depressed. I started feeling these symptoms 3 months in but decided to give it some time before cutting it off. I barely leave my house anymore, I never hang out with my friends, I am always sad, nervous, tired, and anxious. I have trouble gaining motivation to attend school. Overall, it has just made me extremely depressed and this will be the last packet I take of it. It has done a great job at preventing pregnancy, but the emotional distress just isn't worth it anymore."


"I was switched to Invokana to reduce my A1C  . The first month I had no negative experiences with the medication. However,  I took the pills for  two more weeks and developed a  serious urinary tract and yeast infection. I was able to clear the infections with Monistat and AZO. I stopped taking the Invokana.  About a week later I  developed boils on my thumb, upper thighs and vaginal area which I was able to clear with Neosporin with the exception of one on my thigh which would not drain. I finally went to the Emergency.  The boil was lanced and drained while I was put on an IV for antibiotics and pain meds. It took six weeks to heal. Another two weeks and I have another boil on my vaginal area. This has been a very painful experience."


"Clonazepam is the only medicine that will take away a seizure or cluster of seizures within 15 minutes.  I have tried a variety-a large variety of other medications but unfortunately none of them had worked. "


"Nuvaring is very convenient to use but after 3 years, I am finally getting off of it. I get major mood swings, anxiety, depression, leg cramps and not interested in sex. At first I did not think it was the Nuvaring causing this, but after reading reviews, I can relate to a lot of women! It was very convenient but I will be changing to another method."


"I loved this birth control! I had no negative side effects. I took it for nine months and it took away my period completely which was great but was also scary because that's not natural and if you forget to take your pills on time, you don't get a period to confirm you're not pregnant. Unfortunately, I now have to switch to another BC because my insurance no longer covers lo loestrin fe."


"I am only 18 years old. I have had two major hip surgeries that have been unsuccessful due to an underdeveloped right hip joint. My pain is awful. I am fine for 3 to 5 days without pain and on those days I don't take any pain killers. But on the days that my hip hurts I can't even walk on it and I need to use crutches to just get around. I am 18 and the doctor told me that this cycle may continue for years to come. He has prescribed 10-325mg norco for the pain plus 800mg of ibuprofen. The combination works very well. The larger dose of ibuprofen greatly reduces inflamation in area of pain so that the norco can relieve the pain. I highly recommend this combo for any one with sharp shooting pain coming from your back or hip and running down."


"I've been taking Naltrexone for over 2 years.
It doesn't work reducing my alcohol cravings.
I drink 4 beers with dinner every night.
I would like it to be only 2 beers as my doctor prescribed.
But Naltrexone hasn't helped at all.
I must say though: I consider alcohol a food.
And I only eat once every 24 hours.
The amount of food of each of my meals is moderate to small and I drink 4 beers with it.
I get many of my daily calories from beer.
Side effects are lack of joy and extreme sexual impotency.
I'm very stoic and not too sexual of a person.
So both side effects are irrelevant to me."


"As an alternative to Atripla, this medicine is a God send! Compared to Atripla this medicine lowers your viral load very fast! But doesn't cause nearly any symptoms at all. Its easy to take once a day.  I know that if the manufacturer can create this a cure or remission medicine is very close. And also watch out for constipation.  If you get it just supplement with some Florastor and you're good."


"I had a HORRIBLE allergic reaction to the ear drops! The medication made my look like I had a chemical burn on the right side of my face and blister like on my ear. The itching was immune to Benadryl and I am hoping my face will heal soon."


"Maxalt saved my life! It is the only medicine that works for me when have a migraine attack, I swear by it and carry it with me always just in case. It literally gave me back my life, I was ill for days that ran into weeks that went into months. It was shocking, I felt suicidal with having no life and one day was sitting in my doctors room sobbing begging him to help me, and he prescribed me rizatriptan (maxalt). I love it!!"


"I was prescribed this to help with my severe anxiety and in hopes it would also help my chronic pain.
I think I'm allergic to it because in 2 hours of taking it I got a stabbing pain in my head and the light made my eyes burn. I could barely even say this to a doctor because along with barely being able to string two words together I had intense nausea with cramping and it wasn't until the ER had the lights around me dimmed enough for me to try and open my eyes I realized my face was pretty swollen."


"I tried Nucynta but had too many side effects on it.  First of all, I had terrible nightmares on it and secondly it made me terribly constipated.  I could not poop at all on Nucynta and didn't poop until 3 days after stopping taking the medication."


"I've been on Lutera for 2 weeks now and I hate it. I'm a 20 year old college student 5'3 120 Lbs. after taking Lutera I now weigh 125 (already). I'm constantly crying at everything, for no reason and I never cried before. For example I tried to cross the road to get to class and I saw a car coming so I cried. I was sitting in class and got hungry and had to forceful hold tears back... Not normal. I also lash out very often at nothing I should be mad about. It's also making me break out SO MUCH!! Like huge cystic pimples that no one wants to see.  I keep going back and fourth about whether or not I should get off cause well I don't want to get pregnant, but I also don't want to be fat, moody, and pimply."


"I originally got on it because I was about to turn 26 and off of my parents insurance and did not have benefits at my job yet, so I figured I'd get the thing that lasts for 3 years while I could figure everything out. I used to be on the pill before nexplanon.  I've been on nexplanon a little over a year.  I had a period last over 3 months when I was first on it.  Now they are literally every other week.  My acne is terrible, not just on my face, but chest, back, everything.  My mood is off the wall.  I get intensely depressed when I am on my period or near it on this thing.  I'll have days where I just want to give up on everything and run away and I'll hate everyone and everything.  I cant wait to get this thing out.  No pregnancies though."


"I have had Gout since I was 23, I am now 48. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work. My body would not accept Allapurinol no matter how long I stayed on it, it caused bad flare ups. Uloric has been a Godsend! I almost forgot what it was like not to be in bad pain everyday. My uric acid level is now down below 6 and I take 40 mg of Uloric daily. I reccomend Uloric to anyone that has gout. A truly great medicine that is priceless to me."


"I was given Skelaxin for a herniated disc and it has also helped tremendously for my fibromyalgia"


"I have taken many, many times for my chronic sinus infections and it seems to be the only thing that ever gets rid of the infection. I do get stomach aches from it, and nausea but it does what it's supposed to."


"The birth control pills I tried before Beyaz made me so emotionally crazy. My academics and social life crumbled to pieces. After stopping those pills my Gyno suggested Beyaz since I have a history of anxiety and depression, and I am SO glad he did. Because of my history and how hormones mess with those conditions, if Beyaz had the same mentally severe side effects I would be forced to forgo birth control altogether. But now my life is back on track and I deal with no emotional or hormonal effects from this pill, no nausea, no weight gain, and only headaches that went away after 2 - 3 months. Thank you BEYAZ."


"I developed a rash all over my back and shoulders i also had dizzy turns.

I became constipated and the pain from passing motions was worse than my original bouts of constabt diarohea"


"First tube working well, elbows and knees clear. Butt and back of legs showing signs of improvement. Doctor gave zero co-pay coupon or I would not be using this medication. Insurance people think a 60 gram tube should last three weeks."


"I first got the implant when it was called Implanon from 02/2012-02/2015. That experience was great. Hardly any periods. Did gain weight, but I didn't really care because I have horrible, long, painful periods. Anyway, I got in replaced and my obgyn told me that Nexplanon was the new name and "a little different".  My periods came back and with a vengeance. I have constant weeks of excruciating cramping with maybe 2 day breaks in between. It drives my boyfriend insane, of course. I'm debating on taking it out, but it has kept me from getting pregnant. Literally the ONLY perk."


"It works really well for panic and anxiety although it seems like if I take enough of it to get rid of the panic feeling, then I feel depressed. I think benzodiazepines do a better job, but it's nice to have a non-addictive alternative."


"Really tired and sleepy throughout the day.  I take medicine. In the evening."


"I have been taking ADHD medications for about 10 years and vyvanse is by far my favorite. I take 50mg of vyvanse as needed. I always feel very productive when taking it and It really helps me focus and get things done without the procrastination. Although, it does what it is supposed to do I do have a few side effects that prevent me from taking it everyday. I have a history with anxiety/depression and this medicine brings back some of those symptoms. Also, I tend to be a perfectionist when I take the medicine. I catch myself taking longer to take exams and redoing my makeup or hair or brushing my teeth more than once simply because I feel like it isn't just right. Also I am more isolated and less social when I take the pill."


"I've been taking Maraviroc 300mg with Abacavir twice a day and Tenofovir (once a day) for the past 2.5 years.
I've had no side effects but lately started to get slight elevated liver enzymes in my liver test. I don't feel ill but my doctor is now contemplating changing my regimen by taking out Maraviroc as my liver enzymes (alt and ast) have not come down to their normal numbers. If you don't have any negative effects on your liver this is a great drug."


"I am a 48 yr male and have been taking as directed 50mg day for 6 months, blood pressure now 125/80 and stable. I drink approximately 1 liter of whiskey every two days and notice no other side effects other than I cannot maintain an erection for as long as before taking this.

"This last Monday I was detected by my doctor that I have a acute Cystitis. My doctor prescribed me lavoprolaxicin Levaquin for 6 days.. My nightmare start in day 3 when I couldn't even get up from my bed.. I was sore all over my body.. I couldn't even walk.. Only I took 4 pills and I feel that my life changed to the worst for this medication.. I went to ER and they gave me fluids to at least clean a little bit my system.. I got a CT scan of my kidneys, and bladder, liver and all results were normal..If   doctors know those side effects why are they  still prescribing this medicine.  it's poison!! I . I'm still panicked !!I have faith that everything will be normal again.. Today is my day 1without the medication.. I'm walking better."


"In March my 2 year-old gets eczema terribly either in the diaper region or all over his body but this time he got it on his face and we've tried everything and I'm pregnant right now so I can't use the steroid cream that we usually use and you shouldn't use a steroid cream on your face. Doctor gave me this prescription since its steroid free. it's lightened up and it's not as red and he's not itching. His face does look a little scary but I think it's just his face is healing so I think it's working it's just I want instant results. My doctor also gave me a savings card from the pharmaceutical company and now my copay is $35 so ask your if they have the card. Because before that it was going to cost me $300."


"I took Moviprep to help prepare me for a colonoscopy.  I was glad to see that it really works because my bowels don't move very often even with a laxative.  I started having bowel motions after taking about 3/4 of 1st litter.  I was a happy happy camper because Moviprep cleansed my colon out.  My tummy feels so much better.  I wasn't that happy about the taste.  But it wasn't so bad that I couldn't drink it.  I just drank it very quickly.  It did what it was supposed to do."

"Simponi helps me so much.

I take 2 shots per month.

I Washington diagnosed about 7 or 8 years after mycket first signs of illness. Ive had it very hard.

I get oxycontin when i have it too hard. But all in all, simponi is The best. I got a new life with it.

Works as a chef, and without simponi i would not.

I live in sweden, so i only pay about $300 a year.

Or else i would have to pay ALOT. like $4000 per month.

The negatives with this med, you cancer get alot of crap from it.

But the pain i had before was crazy.

Thank you my sweet Dr."
