"I've had this birth control for 2 years now and want it out so bad!  I'm super moody and my sex drive has gone way down.  My boyfriend for 5 years has noticed me not really into it anymore.  I got the Implanon when I was 17 and now I'm almost 20.  I was very active so my doctor told me to not worry about a period it shouldn't come back until I get it out. Wrong! I have been bleeding since the day I got it in. I will get a few months with no period, then maybe spotting for like 4 days. Sometimes I'll bleed for one day. The worst is the long heavy periods. Every 2-3 months I'll get a period for about 20-25 days. Right now I'm bleeding and it's my 22 day of non stop.  It works for not getting you pregnant though."


"My 6 year old son is on the 1mg for his short attention issues. He does complain sometimes about the tummy ache but it goes away. I have seen a big difference in his school work and his able to stay focus.  How ever I have to try other meds because my insurance will not pay for the medication. they feel as  if its to expensive."


"I found using this product the most painful experience, i would compare it to labour pains"


"I was suffering from depression, hopelessness, anxiety and and overall sense of despair.  I didn't want to get out of bed, I was short tempered and just unhappy.  I started on 25mg sertraline because I'm thin and 3 weeks later my dose was increased to 50mg.  I have been on it for 3 months now and I'm a new woman.  I feel more positive, happy and content in life.  I'm meeting with a therapist in conjunction with the medication and the despair and anxiety have gone away.  I have lost  weight on the medication and struggle daily because it has zapped my appetite completely.  I was shaky the first weeks but that has subsided, no other side effects.  This medication is fabulous!"


"I quit smoking on July 6/15. I have now been smoke free for 39 days & counting! I have saved $340 & not smoked 607 cigarettes. Just like some of the others on here I have experienced almost all of the side effects. The vivid dreams are still a nightly occurrence & the nausea, & constipation are experienced daily. I feel that I can get through these side effects knowing that I am no longer hurting myself by smoking. I am so thankful that I am finally rid of the nicotine demon! Thank you Champix!"


"I've suffered from severe chronic pain for many years. I've gone through all the opiates. My pain doctor put me on this worthless patch. Even at max dosage it doesn't even help mild muscle pain."


"Went on Zoloft after Celexa stopped working and I quit cold turkey(don't do!!)
Made me feel 10x worse within days. Not for me.
Now on Pristiq which helps but has horrible withdrawals if you skip or are too late for a pill."


"I've had scabies several times, unfortunately, mainly due to travelling.  Elimite is easy to use, but remember for the treatment to be effective you must disinfect ALL surfaces you have come into contact with.  You must vacuum furniture, wash all bedding in HOT water with chlorine bleach or color safe bleach in addition to detergent.  Clothing and shoes: when in doubt, throw it out.  And make sure to have household members treated, or at least on the lookout if they develop symptoms."


"My doctor recently informed me that I should only take Sonata when I wake up in the middle of the night. Just need to have a glass of water near my bed. I tried that last night and it did give me a few extra hours of sleep. When I was taking it before bed I generally would get up in the middle of the night anyway and feel groggy the next day. "


"I have found Contrave to be a truly effective and exciting medication.  I don't have cravings.  I can walk right past cookies, donuts, pies, whatever at work and not feel like I've missed a thing.  I only get really hungry when I have skipped a meal or forgotten to eat.  As for side effects, I had some mild nausea at first and I still have what has been described by some as "flushing" - I get very hot in the mornings and sweat profusely for a while.  I lost 20 pounds from the middle of April until the middle of July.  I have not exercised at all but my energy level is definitely up.  I am so happy my doctor prescribed this drug for me!"


"Painful insertion, bled for three weeks straight then no period at all. Extreme fatigue, headaches almost everyday, and extreme acne inclusive of some cystic acne everywhere."


"My 8 year old daughter was prescribed this medication yesterday by our PCP. For the past 6 months she was on Adderrall 10mg and I decreased her to 5mg two months ago. She weighs.64 lbs and 10 mgs of adderrall had her like a zombie, the 5 most recently caused her to become anxious,  overly sensitive,  and literally trichllomania - literally developing the habit of pulling her out. I stopped the adderall this week and her doctor suggested Strattera.

I got an email from my daughters teacher after sending her to school on the 1st day of her new meds. My daughter was experiencing super fatigue, headache, and nausea. She was definitely calm, but she could not eat dinner and my baby was so hot to the touch. I will NOT give her any more meds."


"I was prescribed this medication approximately 4 years ago. I experienced severe heartburn and reflux, so much so that I had to sleep with the head of my bed elevated. I filled the prescription but left it in the medicine cabinet for a year without taking one pill. A year after filling it I made a dental appointment because I noticed that the enamel on my teeth was flaking off. The dentist asked me if I had GERD. I said, yes and then he asked me if I was on anything for it. I told him no and he suggested I take something immediately. Turns out the GERD eroded the enamel off of 17 teeth and I had to have extensive dental work done, to the tune of $20K. Expensive lesson to learn but one learned nonetheless. No side effects whatsoever."


"I took Provigil for 6 months with varying doses (100-300mg/day). It only took about 20-30 minutes to kick in and lasted roughly 7 hours. It gave me an incredibly high level of alertness. I also have mild cataplexy and sleep paralyzation, and it seemed to help keep both of these under control. However, it also gave me very bad nausea and an even worse headache. When the medicine wore off, my body reacted by immediately having a strong "sleep attack". If I didn't take my next dose before the first had worn off, the second didn't seem to work. Also, my urine smelled strange and the smell got even stronger when I drank more water. This stopped as soon as I changed my medication to Adderall."


"I took the recommended dose and was extremely drowsy yet angry and restless. It was like I wanted to scream out of frustration but was too tired and edgy. "


"I was prescribed this 6-pack medicine to treat the flu and acute bronchitis. I felt much better a day after the first dose of 2 tablets. I experienced no side effects. It did the job beautifully!"


"As a former bartender, I'm a night owl by nature. Now that I'm in law school and have 8am classes, I can't afford to be up all night. It ruins my entire next day because I cannot think and I am useless. Also, lack of sleep depresses me and gives me anxiety. Anyhow, I have tried literally everything under the sun- Ambien, Sleepy time, Valerian, melatonin, Simply sleep, and 4-5 others, both natural and not, and Sominex is the only one that has ever consistently worked to not only put me to sleep, but KEEP me asleep, on most nights. Occasionally I'll have an off night when I wake up mid-sleep or when I'm super groggy in the morning, but at least 90% of the time it works great. I usually take it about 1-2.5 hours before I want to fall asleep."


"I was put on biaxin a couple days ago and though my tonsillitis has cleared up quite a bit I'm still noticeably sick, I get extreme headaches, dark urine, upset stomach, I've been able to get little to no sleep and I have no appetite. I can't walk without feeling like I have no centre of gravity, I constantly shake, and just today I started throwing up. It also leaves a bad metal taste is your mouth. I'm going to go see my doctor and try to get him to put me on another anti biotic cause this one has a lot of side affects, I was previously on biaxin xl and had no side affects with that."


"I have been taking triptans on and off over the past 7 years even tho I favour homeopathic and naturopathic medicine over prescriptions drugs, but was desperate as suddenly getting migraines after menopause for the first time! After finally suffering rebound headaches as my Dr. did not warn me, I couldn't sleep or was being woken up with pain, so asked for tylenol 3 for the pain and after taking one a day solely for only 2 weeks, I was off the triptans, it felt like a miracle! However, once over the hurdle, don't take codeine for a long time as that can cause rebound headaches as well, but it got me thru!!"


"I got my birth control in August 2015. After getting the Nexplanon, my period was non stop until just about 2months ago. It's light bleeding and very easy to deal with. However I am so sensitive and its hard dealing with it. I get mood swings and sometimes horrible episodes of anxiety/depression. My arm has been hurting recently and I'm due to et it taken out in 4 days. I will be going on oral birth control. One of the pros I realized with my implant is I have not experienced any serious weight gain!"


"I take adavan for panic attacks caused by load noises or medical test and the dentist it is very effective within 30 minutes it makes me sleepy and relaxed. I get off balance and dizzy so I usually need help walking it is a great medication for panic attacks"


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


"I've been taking this medication for a uti. First bottle 3 pills a day for 30 days. NOTHING!

Was given a second supply which I took 3 pills a day for 30 days. NOTHING!

Yep, you guessed it. Third supply, 3pills a day.............really!"


"This is the worse medicine I have ever tried!  It didn't take a week for me to have such a violent reaction I didn't dare try it again. My eyes immediately burned and I couldn't stand any light, plus my eyelids felt like they were stuck with glue and didn't want to work right. I immediately went back to my doctor and listed my complaints. I have been on so many antibiotics and other drugs to try and get rid of the effects of this drug and NOTHING has worked. In addition to all the other drugs, I have been sent to other Ophthamologists and Neurologists! They were all determined that I had Dementia, or a blood clot behind my eye- only the right one went crazy! I have had to wear an eye patch and use moisture drops since the very first day !"


"I've been on Contrave for right at one month.  The first week and a half I experienced extreme dry mouth, but easily fixed by drinking lots of water.  After first week, I also started with constipation.  Colace rectified the problem, but working with dr for a better solution.  Around third week, I started experiencing the mild headaches.  Mild as in I knew it was there, but it didn't interfere with my day.

I'm feeling great!  My appetite has decreased significantly, and the joy I get from eating (which is what caused the problem in the first place) has diminished.  I have the energy to get up and move throughout the day.  I've lost 10 pounds, most of which came off the last week.  Hoping that means it will start coming off quickly."


"Good"


"I have been drinking heavily for the past couple of years now, and on most occasions 7 days a week. This was built up of a number of things, but the one thing I blamed the most was the stress at work. After speaking to my psychiatrist, and explained to him the level of drinking I was consuming, he suggested I use Campral. I was drinking approximately 2-3 bottles of either white or red wine each afternoon after work, and smoking about 20 ciggies during this time, however as of 6 days ago I have only drank once,(No smokes) and Campral seems to be working. For me it just help the slow down the urge to drink as frequently. If you do decide to drink while on Campral, look out for the hangover, it somehow makes you feel worse 10 fold."


"I am towards the end of my third month on Lo Loestrin Fe and I'm wearing a pad for spotting half the month still. It tends to start the second week of pills in the pack and last about a week, then it goes away and comes back about 4 days before the white pills.  I'm not really sure when the spotting stops and the period begins.  The bleeding is mostly brownish.  I have gained close to 15 pounds in the last three months, which is depressing, and I seem to be more moody than I used to be.  I was hoping that the breakthrough bleeding would have decreased by now, but I have been keeping track on a calendar and it has not.  One good thing is that I do not have the weekly migraines that I had on my old birth control (Yaz)."


"So I started with this 2 weeks ago and it SUCKS. I have had maybe one big pimple on a cheek per month or two, and a little around other parts of my face, but now I have full fledge acne on my cheeks and jawline. This is terrible!"


"So I've been using Victoza for 3 weeks now and I've lost about 3.5KG so far which is like a kilo a week roughly. Only experienced nausea on the second day and when I increased my dosage to 1.2mg. It also has helped suppress my appetite and stop me from eating out of boredom.
I was wondering if anyone has noticed a change in their mood. I feel lazy, sluggish, not motivated and just overall blah feeling (more than usual) my sister is the same too and she's also using victoza. I just find it hard to judge if it's the medication or just because I'm bored of being at home for the summer"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I experience dizziness and poor concentration after each dose."


"I am a first time user of the Mirena, I have to say it's pretty good. The inserting wasn't painful at all to me my Dr was very gentle and walked me through each step it was over before I knew it, although I must say every since ive had it my period is very tricky. It seems to never go away. I have slight cramping but light periods and sometimes heavy. Hopefully it will ease up and disappear soon. Other than that it fits me best:)"


"I was prescribed this medication for RSD chronic pain I've been on this medication for approximately two and a half weeks now the nausea is awful vomiting the feeling of being seasick 24 hours a day I recalled my pain management doctor and explain the side effects of this was told I would have to stay on at the full 30 days had to recall a few days later to get prescribed a pill for nausea  after two doses of that I still vomited I am now on the second day with the nausea medication and a Bellvue Co hopefully today is better most times the dissolving film does not dissolve completely almost 75% of the patches I have taken so far left what looked to be like a small piece of gum either stuck to my teeth or the side of the inside of my cheek"


"Before Yaz, I was on Levlen (for three months). During that time, I developed cysts on my ovaries, extremely heavy periods and awful cystic acne on my chin. I also gained some weight. My doctor suggested Yaz, however I wanted to do some of my own research into this medicine. The Internet provided horrific reviews of this drug. I became so scared of Yaz before I'd even tried it! Eventually my doctor convinced me to give it a go (with some free sample sheets- it's not cheap!) and my goodness, it is the best thing I've ever done. I've been on Yaz for six months now and I can honestly say the positives greatly outweigh any negatives. My periods regulated, the cysts disappeared (shrank) and my acne cleared (in 3/4 months; it was very bad)."


"An absolutely horrific drug for treating Bipolar 2. I was prescribed 100 mg/day to start and upon waking, after the first night that I took it, I knew immediately something was wrong. I felt utterly drugged. I was off-balance and in an aggitated haze. My thoughts were muddled and I had most intensely "down" day I had had in months. It was a really bad day trying to just make it through. I called my dr and she said to stop taking it immediately. No good. I would stay far far away from this off-label drug."


"I just started the nuvaring last month, my first 3 weeks on it were awesome. I had the implant in my arm for 2 1/2 years and bled all the time so I decided to try the nuvaring. My first month was the best! I didn't gain any weight (I weigh in daily), I was a little moody (but I'm naturally pretty moody/emotional anyways), and the constant irregular bleeding was stopped and regulated within days on it. The only downside of it for me was I started getting headaches from it - easily cured with water and Advil! Another issue I had was my doctors didn't describe how to remove it/location so I was panicking about that but it was easy once I figured it out! Just set it and forget it for 3 weeks - I love it!!!"


"I found out that I'm allergic to this medicine. It caused symptoms of serotonin syndrome. "


"Was having problems falling asleep. My doctor prescribed this medicine to help me sleep. Works great!"


"I was prescribed Amitriptyline for Odie Sphincter dysfunction, which is a spasm in the Gallbladder sphincter.  The wonderful side affect is my migraines were cured by this as well.
NOTE: The smallest dosage of generic amitriptyline is 10 mg.  I have gotten the dose down to about 1.5 mg by breaking each 10 mg into 8ths.  This has eliminated the constipation I was experiencing at the higher dose, and costs me about $10/year for prescription."


"I have been on Sronyx since giving birth for 6 months now. I noticed a crazy weight gain, my appetite has doubled and my mood change constantly. The good part is I have my period like a clock every month, lighter and for about 4-5 days."


"Xanax has helped me with my activity's anxiety, I have a hard time going out being around people especially, when going places like the doctors, shopping, I have a hard time being around people or even just going outdoors also just going outside in general. I don't like being away from home that's my safe zone. I get scared when I here loud loud noises, I'm afraid people are going to hurt me or the ones I love, I am happy with my dogs and cats want to be left alone, Away from the rest of the world. here are only a few that I can trust, my mother, father, My Dave plus my children, plus my therapist Mark."


"I got the shot and never stopped bleeding/discharging the entire 3 months I was on it. I refused to take the 2nd shot and after about a week after I was supposed to get it, the bleeding started again. I figured it was my normal period trying to kick back in but I continue to bleed to this day. It'll be ridiculously heavy for a week, then barely nothing for a few days, then it'll be ridiculously heavy again. I got it in August and I'm 100% sure it's the reason for why I've been bleeding consistently for this last past month. My period has never been irregular or anything. I'm so aggravated, I feel disgusting, and I can't enjoy everyday things without having to worry about whether or not I'm gonna be bleeding through everything."


"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 took chantix for 2 months, was very sick and very sleepy on it, but it worked. I have been smoke free for 13 weeks now, although I do still have strong cravings a few times a day. My biggest concern is that since going off of the chantix, I became very depressed, and started getting suicidal thoughts alot. Now I am on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds, which I had never needed before. My doctor thinks maybe I was borderline depressesd and that the chantix  pushed it over the edge."


"My On-Call Obgy put me on Stadol because I asked her not to use Demerol. I told her I didn't want to feel drugged while in labor so she choose Stadol. I was so out of it my husband video taped my delivery and my eyes were LITERALLY rolling in the back of my head. As far as taking pain away who could tell - I was out of my mind. Anyone who can take this must be used to strong pain relievers."


"I had my thyroid removed about 2 years ago. I weighed about 190.  I was put on 125 mcg Synthroid right after the surgery.  I lost about 20 pounds without trying at all.  My dosage was increased to 175 mcg.  I then started gaining weight.  My endocrinologist  increased my dosage to 200 mcg.  My weight went up to 224 lbs.  Never weighed so much before.  I've been told by a couple of other doctors that the higher doses of Synthroid should cause weight loss, not gain.  I am 72 years old.  In general, I have aches and pains, something wrong every day.  Don't know if that's Synthroid related or not.  But I am very uncomfortable with all this weight, just doing everyday things."


"Horrible side effects."


"I have been told I had IBS in the ER. The doctor said MOM is very gentle if I got constipated and I do from time to time. So after feeling bloated and bound up I took the 2 Tbsp dose and waited...well in an hour I was almost running to the throne and every 15 minutes after for an hour. It does as advertised. "


"I am 55.  In my 30's had mostly diarrhea, some constipation for five years.  At 49 started diarrhea for 4 1/2 years.  Started CPAP(night breathing device) and turned to mostly constipation.  After 1 1/2 years of constipation OR less often diarrhea the second day of 145 Linzess I was regular for four whole days in a row.  Then my samples ran out.  Took ten days with my gastro and insurance company to get more.  A miserable ten days to be sure.  This time the next day it worked.  No diarrhea so far.  Mostly firm and finally getting some color to my stools.  A miracle I say.  Will do daily until I feel comfortable to use randomly."


"Worked well for GERD but could not continue to take it.  After about a week .. I got diarrhea what would not stop.  Even had a few accidents upon sneezing.  Other PPI's did not do this ... and cost much less.   No thank you."


"It keeps me from bladder infections but also gives me terrible nausea."


"Vile.. Got the worst headache terrible taste in mouth dizziness and generally feel terrible..taking it because I have the strep bacteria in my lungs which is uncommon this is now my second dose as it didn't go the first time but im not convinced its working"


"My sons, age 10 and 14 have been taking this for a year.  I had tried everything to get them to stop wetting the bed but nothing worked.  Then the dr. thought that the reason they were wetting the bed is because they were not getting a good nights sleep.  I was very skeptical, specially to give them any medicine.  Also, my 10 year old had a hard time falling asleep.  Within a couple of weeks of taking the medicine (25 mg), they both stopped wetting the bed.  It was a miracle.  A couple of months I go I started taking the medicine.  I thought I was getting my 8 hours of sleep but the dr. thought that I was not, since I was exhausted all day long.  Well after taking this a couple of days I noticed the quality of my sleep was much better."


"I have had chronic idiopathic urticaria AND demographism for the last 14 years with no identifiable cause. 10mg daily works great and keeps the hives away. The drowsiness subsides after prolonged use."


"If you want depression, worsened anxiety, WEIGHT GAIN, and moodiness (which I highly doubt anyone would) get it. From personal experience, I would highly recommend against it."


"I have been on Prozac 40 mg for 10 weeks now, I feel super great. I was taking Xanax too but I feel I don't need to take my Xanax any more. Prozac has been working for me just great! The first week I was feeling terrible anxiety, numbness in my face, dry mouth, fears. It was crazy but at day 9th I started to feel more focused, so now it's been 10 weeks and I feel how I used to feel before, just great. So please just hang in there, give Prozac at least 2 weeks to kick in."


"I received the implant around March 2016. The first few months my periods lasted 10 or more days. Each period was between light to moderate flow. After about 4 months it began to even out to 6 days each period. Before the implant I have had cramps and sever back pain with each delightful time of the month, before I had no problems with my cycle but now it is unpredictable. The implant hasn't improved the cramps and back pain but overall the effects of the implant is better than being pregnant. I am sexually active with one partner and with the implant I don't have to worry about getting pregnant."


"I was given this medication for anxiety. It didn't help directly with the anxiety - but it greatly relieved the cause of the anxiety, which was the intense pain I was experiencing. The pain wasn't home, but it was bearable. The pain relief from an anti-depressant was the clue I needed to work out the cause of the pain - fibromyalgia - and get a diagnosis. Side effects for me were being "hung over" in the morning, and after a year or so of taking it, I started getting depression. I also did feel "numb" emotionally on it. I suspect I got the side effect of depression because my brain was actually healing; when I quit the medication, I no longer had high levels of pain (though some pain did return after quitting this med, but manageable)."


"I had a third degree sunburn once and used this - it's the best for a sunburn. I couldn't even wear clothes. This was a life saver. It helped me to get back to normal quickly and to tolerate the pain. I am really careful as to not get sunburnt now but I keep Solarcaine on hand."


"I am currently on 4 mg of Medrol daily for approximately 1 year and a half for what doctors thought was inflammatory arthritis.  Wrong.  I contracted chicken pox at the age of 50 yes I never had the chicken pox as a child.  Advice, if you are one of the unlucky few that did not have chicken pox as a child.  Run to your doctor and demand the vaccine.  I contracted chicken pox while on cortisone - not good.  I ended up in the hospital with a crashed thyroid, mild adrenal crisis.  And most likely cytomegalovirus infection."


"Have had more positive experience with Foradil aerolizer than ever had with any asthma inhaler only need once in 12 hours from morning to morning."


"I have been taking Prozac for at least 8 years and it helps keep me from being irritated all the time.  When I have not taken it for a couple of days, I get what I call "permanent road rage", ready to snap at the world."


"I too have suffered years with chronic constipation.  My dr. prescribed the low dose of Linzess. I have not had much luck.  He gave me samples of the high dose today which I pray will help.  I will keep you informed. Don't be discouraged with the negative reviews. All meds do not work for all people.  I suggest you try it and see for yourself. Hopefully it will have a discount program so that it will save us $$$$ since we may be on it for the rest of our earthly lives LOL. Peace and Comfort to you all."


"I will be 47 in two weeks and have been smoking since I was 14, that's THIRTY-THREE years. I was up to a pack and a half a day. I was super skeptical and a bit leery after reading the bad experiences some people had when using Chantix. I experienced no side effects other than feeling SLIGHTLY nauseated one morning because I had not eaten anything before I took it. I LOST CRAVINGS, no desire for the morning smoke before and with coffee from the second day and the 'cheat week' was much more than I needed. Those two drags off a cigarette I would take every now and then were pretty nasty and I would brush my teeth immediately. It was far easier to quit than I ever imagined. JUST DO IT!"


"I wouldn't recommend this to anyone I have had my period for 9 weeks straight"


"I was diagnosed with stage 1 endometriosis after I had a laparoscopy. My doctor suggested lupron depot for six months (2 shots). I have been on lupron depot for almost 3 months where it is time to get my second shot. I am almost sure I will not get the second shot. I am in worst pain than I was before the shot and I have had NON STOP bleeding. You are not supposed to be bleeding while on lupron especially for three months. I have an appointment with my doctor soon about my next step. The medicine is supposed to rid you from pain-but for me it caused it to worsen. In regards to other side effects such as hot flashes, depression, mood swings, etc I don't have any of that! Bottom line, I wish I never would have got this medicine."


"I got the Skyla put in about three weeks ago. I made my appointment before work thinking I would just have some mild cramping (I can take pain). Nope. It was all good until the doctor got to my uterus. I'm 19 with no kids, and this was the most uncomfortable pain in my life. I could barely stay still and I was screaming on the table. When he was finally done I went pale and felt like I was going to pass out, doubled over with the worst abdominal pain ever. He got me ibuprofen but that did nothing. I had to make an emergency call out to work and I had to stay in the office for at least 45 mins. Could barely drive home and horrible cramps at least 5 hrs after. Now I just take ibuprofen some days I have cramps some days I don't."


"Works great. No side effects. No morning effects. Good sleep for 7hrs."


"I have spinal stenosis and take Vicodin 7.5/500 6-8 times a day it has taken the pain away. No side effects. Doctor says it will make me sleepy but I find is it keeps me awake. Been on it for 3 years and it's the only thing that lets me live a pain free day."


"For a while it was good, I was doing okay in school and focusing more, but the more I increased my dose the worse the quality of life became, my social anxiety went through the roof. The worst part about it for me was that when my dose was 72 mg the cutoff or withdrawal was horrible, as soon as it wore off my face would get a big red rash and would pulsate, and my pores would get huge, this would happen everyday, and it was irritating and made me self conscious, so I took myself off the medication and noticed it stopped. I haven’t been on it since and I would like to start a new medication with less side effects."


"I've been on 10mg Celexa for over 11 weeks. Started on 10 mg for a week  then 20 mg for a week. Side effects on 20 mg: headaches, confusion, constipation. Now on 10 mg for the balance of Celexa experience. I weigh 162 (lost 5 lbs.) and am 71 yrs.
I stopped alcohol (2-3 oz. per night 7 days a week); which may have caused some side effects with the 20 mg and not the cause of Celexa. I still have some headaches, constipation and that's it on side effects.
My depression (clinically defined as down, sleep 10  hrs., not much interest in Life, more) has lifted. I may continue to use Celexa and no alcohol for Life, as I have been depressed numerous times. I was primary health caretaker for my chronically ill wife for 11 yrs. She died 12-10-10."


"I took 1/2 tablet to help me get into deep sleep. It worked great but I had an unusual side effect: I developed a violent cough which would come on at any time, day or night. This forced me to stop taking the drug, but it did help me sleep more deeply."


"I have been on this medicine at varying doses. I'm taking 30 mg now. I've suffered bouts of depression and anxiety for many years. When I started this medicine I did the starter pack and thought it was great until day 4 of the 40mg. Had hallucinations while driving and luckily I was close to home. Passed out at home and had vivid dreams in a semiconscious state for about 7 hours, Called doctor and he said drop back down to 20. I have made a couple of attempts to move the dose up as it doesn't seem to be enough at 20. I've been hospitalized once with serotonin syndrome on day 21 of the 40mg. Brain zaps are the worst! Heat on top of my head is bad. Miss a dose even by a couple hours and anger and crying BAD. I am not happy with it now and plan to get off it."


"Day 5 of 6 taking this for a dental abcess in my jaw....still in agony! Doesn't appear to of helped the infection at all. One more day left of them...help!"


"Olux has been the only topical medication I've used that has been able to control the psoriasis on my scalp.  Over the past few years, my condition has significantly worsened.  However, since beginning to use Derma-Smoothe and Olux, I have been able to maintain a very healthy scalp.  The Derma-Smoothe is fantastic for removing the initial buildup from psoriasis, while the Olux is a great for preventing its return.  I only have to use Olux about once every 2 weeks, or at the first sign of any symptoms.  Only downside is the high cost (since we have a high insurance deductible).  However, I personally find it to be worth the money."


"I give this a 5 because it does prevent pregnancy, yet so did my pill. Switched because I wanted something I didn't have to remember to take. Been on this for a year now the first 5 months were alright. But the last 7 months I've noticed my period is heavy and gets me light headed. I have more migraines which I never experienced before Implanon. Sex drive is way down, bad mood swings, and constantly tired. Before Implanon I was extremely healthy, now I feel like crap almost every day. Getting removed once insurance starts up."


"I primarily treat my RA with CBD paste. While it does pretty good alone, my doctor suggested that Plaquenil might zero out the rest of my symptoms. Even though I have a fairly severe case of RA, the CBD Paste manages about 80% of the disease.

But I've been taking the Plaquenil about 3 weeks, and honestly, I think I have more swelling. I've decided to stop for now and am wondering if Plaquenil can actually make the symptoms worse?"


"This drug has been a lifesaver. After having chronic constipation for years, I feel like a new person. Read the reviews and figured out how it would work best for me. I take the pill in the morning on an empty stomach  every 2 to 3 days. I feel so much better now. I used to feel sluggish all the time having had one bowel movement a week. Believe me I tried everything imaginable before this so I was very happy when my gastro dr. suggested this drug."


"Seemed to clear up sinus infection but side effects were scary.  Had anxiety and felt very cold.  Then the shaking started, mainly legs muscles.  Was resolved after about an hour by taking Ativan.  Blood pressure was very high the next few days - can"t say for sure if that was related. Also had nose bleeds."

"Ive been on Depo for a little over 6 months now. After my first shot I had my period as regular which worried me but after that week I've never had it again. I weigh at about 115-120 pounds depending on how active I'm being. I have gone up a cup size in my breast but I'm not complaining. My only concerns is that in the future I might gain weight or I'll have weak bones. I'm planning on taking the shot for at least 7 or 8 more years but I don't know what effects that will have on my body. So far though its a 10/10. No headaches, no more periods. I still want to have sex with my boyfriend more than ever and I love the fact that I feel normal and like myself, and not moody and in pain. I love Depo and I hope it works out for me in the long run."


"I had a Paragard for about 9 1/2 months. For the first six months it was great-no hormones, no issues. Other than intense random cramping, I was extremely happy. Then at about 6 1/2 months in I started spotting randomly every day and it did not end until my ParaGard expelled itself at 9 1/2 months. It was also after six months that I experienced cramps and backaches so severe that at times I had to use a heating pad for my back. The backaches were the worst-they made me vomit at times. My OBGYN said the spotting and cramping were normal, but after six months they seemed to just get worse. Honestly, I was happy when my IUD expelled-I was already done with it after spotting nonstop for three months."


"I get severe anxiety even to go to the store, I would not feel comfortable eating in public,  Just to leave my house my anxiety over whelmes me so much costing me  to the point I will isolate myself from public.. then came along Xanax and did it's job what it's supposed to do and all the nightmare anxiety went all away, yes it is addictive, but it works magic in my opinion it's like a God sent medicine for people like me with extreme anxiety and insomnia. I tried vistruil and others didn't help like Xanax"


"Was prescribed nexium for gastritis and did not relieve symptoms. Went twice to ER had abdo xrays, blood tests, heart monitoring all came back normal. Put on pantoprazole and gp advised could stop after a month. Nearly a week off this and feel worse than ever with return of symptoms. Looks like have to recommence pantoprazole and have a GI consult. So over the discomfort and constant nausea"


"Just got marina inserted today. Was on bc for years tried pill patch etc. Hubby then got snip which failed but we are delighted with our little bundle of joy. Really did not know what to expect and was very nervous about insertion. I took ponston before hand and it did not hurt. Measurement went fine then when inserted felt something but very mild. Not like some reviews. So far so good but dont have it long enough to comment on side effects. Insertion not as bad as i expected. Will update in a few months time"


"I have been on Percocet for 2 years. I have chronic lower back pain. The problem is that it looses its effect over time. I used to take 1 per day and now I am up to 4 per day to get the same effect. I know that I will need to wean myself off when its time because of dependency."


"It worked well, this would knock me out for 8-10 hours and I would wake spasm free, only problem it would zombie me out the next day for a few hours."


"I had Botox for bladder 15th August 2016  got urosepsis the first week was in resus at a&e, an impatient for one week . now nine weeks later a complete nightmare bladder over 200mls still in retention constant UTIs could not get used to self catheter because I was using it every hour and kept piercing my bladder now on A indwelling catheter with still constant UTIs a total nightmare and. Instant pain wearing the catheter .  I am worried I will ever have a normal bladder again and a normal life !! Worried that now using an indwelling catheter will weaken my muscles even further !!! Sick of taking
Antibiotics, lost weight through stress and worry!!! I suggest whoever has this treatment should look at all the risks first and research it."


"I started taking 100mg of macrobid twice a day on Wednesday evening. It is now Tuesday, I have two pills left. One for this morning and one for tonight. I can't wait to be off this medication. My uti symptoms were gone between day one and two but I was told to take all the medication even if it gets better. I take this medication at 8am and 8pm. From about 4pm-6pm I am extremely nauseous, it's horrible. Then I also wake up off and on from 4-6am because of nausea. I always take the pill with a meal so I don't know why I'm still experiencing the nausea. That's the only bad side effect I have experienced so far. Can't wait to be done with this medication!"


"I have eosinophilic asthma (e-asthma) and I will be starting the Nucala injections in a few weeks. Hope it helps because the only thing that does to this point is Prednisone and I don't like being on it very long with the side effects it has."


"Started at 205, 5'4" age 30 female. Experienced the traditional side effects of initial dry mouth, jitters, and sweating but also lost the interest of eating. All thoughts of eating (especially when bored) went away, found that most often when others were eating or even the smell of food no longer turned my hunger on and in some cases made me queasy. Next, my mental focus and energy sky rocketed and I was able to complete projects with more quality and determination than ever before. The pounds melted away with virtually little exercise. Lost 25 lbs in the first three months, cannot wait to lose the next 25 and am now including a workout regimen I'm doing at home with the Wii."


"After 15 years of vasomotor rhinitis, which caused chronic coughing, I was finally prescribed something that helped me sleep without waking up 10 times coughing each night.  I don't notice any hangover or grogginess the next day.  My only complaint is that it is not covered by my insurance and is a little expensive."


"The first time I used this, it worked perfectly. I was severely constipated and took a few of these (I think maybe 3-4) and had a BM within about 7 hours.
Second time I used them, it was horrible. I was not as severely constipated, so I took 2 of these at 8 am. Nothing happened all day. I did have a bit of crampy-colicky pain and nausea though (this should have been a warning to me). I was desperate in the evening (8 pm) so I took 3 more. Within about 30 minutes, I was having extreme crampy-colicky pain and nausea. I then had extreme explosive diarrhea and vomiting the rest of the night and was tied to the toliet. In addition, I got chills and body aches from dehydration. It was horrible. I am never taking this medicine again."

"Scheduled colonoscopy to rule out cause(s) of infectious colitis that made me very ill weeks ago. I just went back to work and was starting to feel better after nearly a month of being sick. Was able to drink down 3/4 solution of my first prep slowly, then my stomach started to rumble. I went into the bathroom and the second I sat down, I projectile vomited across the room. Several times. Ruined my new lace shower curtain. Called my Dr. who said to stop drinking the Suprep Bowel Prep (I was willing to try and continue) and to reschedule my procedure so a gentler prep could be prescribed. Very frustrating- I just wanted to get this over with. Now I have to take another day off and go through this again."


"I used to be strong and positive. Many deaths in the family including my daughter. And terrible post traumatic stress disorder and PND meant I wasn't coping with life. Panic attacks sent me to hospital. I was convinced I was going to have a cardiac arrest. Started on 37.5mg then progressed to 75. Brilliant stuff. I'm lucky in that I have had no side effects and I feel like a new person. Highly recommended."


"I have to take Pyridium. Have been taking it for many years. My urologist says I don't have Interstitial Cystitis but my bladder started burning in 1992 and hasn't stopped, so it may be urogenic bladder. Pyridium does seem to make me drowsy and I itch a lot. But not sure if the Pyridium causes it as I'm on many other medications. It does help the burning of my bladder."


"Given this drug to my mother 44, after an hour taking 50mg she admitted 70 to 80% relieve in her migraine but weakness whole day long but after two days symptoms reappeared so now giving her tricyclic antidepressant 10 mg at bed time only for a month now she feels better"


"I was vomiting every 5 mins. As soon as I took the medicine the nausea and vomiting stopped."


"So I bought the 3 day medication. FI rat night was the worst, I felt like my vagina was on fire and could not sleep. But the next day I felt so much better ! & the second time using it isn't even half as bad. Honestly, if you can get through the first night you can do it. And it really works ! I'm pleased :)"


"For everyone complaining about price. I've purchasing mine from a Canadian pharmacy. I get 90 pills for $52 or $53. Do some research and you'll find it. It's Generic but works exactly the same. Try it out."


"My son has been on this since 2nd grade.  He is now in 5th and is on 60 mg. He has had great success on this medicine.  He is more focused, can keep it all together, and as I describe "pretty much all that I can ask for" on the meds.  Off meds it's a whole different story.  He has no side effects other he is not as hungry during the day."


"Like the others - I did not read reviews. Bought the Rite Aid brand of Miconazole tonight and inserted the medicine after my shower. Also used the vaginal cream that came with it. I am on fire and I don't know which part of the product is worse. I've used baby wipes and Summer's Eve wipes to remove the product. I want to cry. Does anyone know what can neutralize the effect? Plain yogurt? A wash? God help me."


"I have been taking Tenuate 25mg three times a day for three weeks now and I have lost a total of 8 1/2 lbs. I eat smaller portions of food and watch what I eat and don't eat after 6:00 pm. I drink a lot of water and now my doctor started me on a diuretic to help me get rid of my water weight. So far this medication has helped and I am looking to see more results and I will keep you posted. Good luck to everyone."


"I suffered with anxiety for years and have tried many many SSRIs as well as benzos. Nothing really helped. I was put on this med for migraines and within a couple of weeks my anxiety began to melt away. My friends and family noticed a huge difference. I feel like a different person. Like I am living the life I always wanted to live, I was just always too afraid and anxious to before."


"Good for sleep but not so good for pain"


"I am 28 years old.  I have never felt any side effects from any birth control I have ever taken.  My Doctor, however, switched me to this one because of the price I assume. Since I began taking it a month ago, I have been extremely emotional, crying when I'm happy, crying when I am sad.  My mood swings are having an affect on my relationship, my kids and husband, as I am less patient and more tired. My face is also breaking out, which normally only happens when I am PMSing the week before my period.  I called my doctor today to switch me off of this. I am only stating my experience, to reassure others if having the same side effects that it is not you coming down with depression. It is only the pill. "


"I had an infected dry socket following a tooth extraction.  TheDentist prescribed a 200mg tablet to be taken 3 times a day for 5 days for a dry socket. I had to discontinue the course after the 4th day because the latest reaction was a peculiar feeling in my legs as if I had run a marathon accompanied by feeling very wound up. Other reactions during the preceding days were varied and changed almost on a daily basis and included a metallic taste,sleeping more than usual, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, feeling queasy ( though I was feeling queasy with the infection before I started the medication) a painful flare up in my psoriasis, heavy head. Since stopping them 3 days ago, the metallic taste is still bothersome. I'm now having palpitations maybe unrelated! Tooth seems ok though."


"Celexa works for depression not panic attacks. I have been taking Celexa for two years and I am happy, but I am still a very nervous person."


"So this is my first week on any kind of birth control. I'm experiencing a very heavy and painful period, very low mood and depression, and lots of crying and weeping. I didn't think it would affect me so quickly. I'm not sure whether to ride it out for a month or just stop or switch. I really can't afford to be this out of it, given how demanding my work is. If you've had a similar experience let me know!"


"Amazing for pain and cough alike"


"At first I loved it. I'm going on year two now. But recently I have slipped two months of a period and have fallen into a so far sixteen day light blood with clots period. I was diagnosed with extreme anxiety not too long after receiving and I feel like the mood swings and problems brought on from the hormones is causing a problem in my six yr marriage and sex life. I'm 27 with  two boys. I shouldn't be feeling this achy and psycho. As far as weight gain goes.....ive lost a ton of weight on it 40lbs slow and healthily. I feel the weight gain has a lot to do with diet and activity"


"Took this since 3rd grade. It made me tried and I became depressed. After getting off the pills I became myself again. I took it from 3rd grade till about 8th grade. I'm now in 10th grade with no ADHD meds at all."


"27 year old, mother of 2.  After having kids I got migraines 2 x a week and the entire time I was menstruating.  Took propranolol, gained 10 lbs and had a horrible acne break out, some signs of depression.  Didn%u2019t affect the frequency/intensity of migraines at all.  Disappointed I didn%u2019t have the success others do!"


"I started Phentermine 7-11-15. I have been at a stalled weight for the past year and a half and then all of a sudden gained 15lbs in a week along with other symptoms I was having. Went to the doc and did blood tests, everything came back healthy.  I'm 6'1 female and weighed 203. I weighed myself this morning on 7-20-15 and am at 193lbs. The side effects I have is dry mouth and helps drinking a lot of water and chewing gum.  Doctor put me on this for 3 months to jump start my metabolism again. So I'm hoping once I'm done the weight stays off. I work out 5 days a week and do cardio 4days and eat 4-5 small meals a day. Nothing else worked. I tried lots of different fat burners and NOTHING helped til I got on phentermine."


"I have always found cephalexin to clear up my diabetic toe infections but they always recur usually days after I get done taking it."


"I had mild itch so, like everybody else, bought the 7 day treatment. The first day I applied and man did it burn and itch, I just thought that it was because it was reacting to the yeast infection and it will only get better. Man was I wrong! I am now on the 3rd day and it feels just as worst as the 1st day, after i insert the medicine. I can't do this for another 4 nights. Definitely stopping the medicine after today, I simply can't. The burning and itching is VERY uncomfortable and hurts. 10x worse than the itch during the day."


"Great product.

I never had a problem falling asleep before, I can and always could fall asleep in 2 or 3 minutes.

My problem was during the night when I would wake up at 2am and be up for the day.

With Silenor I still wake up on occasion but I go right back to sleep.

I have been taking it for months now, still works great.

Not groggy the next day.

If your problem is getting to sleep this might not be right for you.

If your problem is staying asleep or falling back to sleep after waking up during the night then Silenor will be a big help."


"I have been on the Nexplanon for a year and two months now. Last time I got my period was on June for 6 days. No pregnancies. I did spot for a couple of days when I first got it inserted but other than that no complaints. I don't get spotting, more periods I guess I am those lucky ones. I recommend this!"


"I've taken strattera at first and didn't like it so went on adderall XR 15 mg once a day. Increased energy and increased focus.  After a while, the increased energy was TOO MUCH so I decided to try strattera. I dropped the adderall dose and took them both together for a Few weeks before discontinuing the adderall.   They feel virtually identical.  I take strattera twice a day to avoid daytime sleepiness & no longer feel over stimulated and zombified and I have energy, & increased focus. I did have a headache for the first couple of days. Took an adderall yesterday and yup felt identical. Could barely tell a difference except got a bad headache at the end of the day on the come down and I also felt like a zombie again. Oh yeah, no come down on strattera!"


"I used to hear bad voices in my head,and thought the government was watching me, had evil thoughts in my head while hearing voices. My doctor prescribed me Abilify,and within 2 days all the voices went away, as long as I take it, the voices are not there. What a miracle it has been for me."


"I have had two episodes of lone a-fib, one 15 yrs ago and one six months ago.  For the earlier episode I was placed on Toprol, Digoxin and Warfarin - it was HORRIBLE, I've never felt so sick in my life.  This time, I was placed on 240 mg of Diltiazem and Xarelto.  I have been on both for six months with the only minor issue being a bit of excess gas, small price to pay to keep the a-fib away."


"After trying a variety of medications over the years the doctor put me on Effexor. This medicine has by far been the best treatment! I am thankful to find something that finally stabilizes my mood AND doesn't interfere with concentration!"


"Went to Centra Care, 31 August,antibiotic,  no help, 8 days later went to ER Hospital, 8 Sept , given z-pack 5 days, started feeling a little better but not right yet, super fatigue besides the regular Fibromyalgia, 12 Sept, go to Research Group Doctor, I am in for COPD, given Prednisone 20 mg for 5 days 2x's a day.  1st day that I felt good in over 4 weeks and only on one for a day right now.  Thank you"


"I've been on zyprexa for about 3 months. While it does tame hypomania it tames too much and I don't want to do anything anymore. Sometimes my mouth works like I have Novocaine in my lips and my speech comes out in a mumble. I've gained 10 lbs. Some have said it was prescribed for anxiety but it has made mine worse. I'm afraid of having to do the things that I have to do. I'm not afraid of doing them, mind you, but afraid of *having* to do them. I feel so much pressure about doing things that I'm unable to do them. That's messed up. And that has come on me this past two weeks. Maybe I'm cycling or maybe it's this drug. Still, enough negative to get me off of it."


"I've suffered from lower lumbar pain for the last few months, complicated by sciatica.  Took my first 5mg does last night, no more leg/butt spasms and finally slept like a baby...

My GP recomended to only take it for 7 days, so i hope thats enough to help get my leg somewhat back to normal - along with a regular stretching routine (which i struggled with even after weeks of physo).

Found the messages below very informative, good luck to all"


"I have tried it for two days with amazing results!   No more itching! I can finally wear short sleeves again without embarassment!"


"Made a significant positive difference in post-menopause symptoms.  However, substantial side effects, worst off which is facial edema with distortion to facial features.  Tested this by stopping the med several times to clear it from system and when did this, edema disappeared but reappeared once resume the drug.  Also, strong hot flashes and sweating.  No weight gain."


"I love this birth control, it is great! I do have my period sometimes and it is pretty light. There is no pill, no patch, just every 3 years place a new one, the only con is my insurance will not cover ANY type of birth control and I have to pay $850. However, much, much cheaper than a KID!  I am 28 and don't really want any yet. Haven't found the "right one"."


"Easy to take, no side effects, but did not relieve pain and discomfort as well as expected.  Did not seem to be any more effective than Advil Liqui-Gels, which have been taken for the pain condition for several months."


"This worked really well for depression, in combination with wellbutrin and lamictal. I see a lot of people complaining about sleep troubles, sleep paralysis, vivid dreams, etc. had all those side effects, started taking it both morning and night, and all the side effects went away. Try that, and give it a chance to work."


"I've been on NR for about three weeks and I just took it out. The very first side effect I noticed was acne. I've never had acne before until I started this. My face was covered! I had brown discharge after the first week, which I know was normal, but I occasionally got this foul smell and more discharge. It hurt too much to have it in during intercourse and it bothered my boyfriend too, it never stayed in good, I could always feel it at the opening of my vagina, but what made me take it out is the itchiness and burning feeling I get from it!! I couldn't take it. Honestly I felt gross the whole time having something inside of me all the time."


"Please don't stress over this let the pill do it's job!! Lost my virginity to my boyfriend although we did use protection at some points we weren't using a condom and it was dark. So to be sure we got the pill and about a little over a week I finally got my period. I burped a lot but other then that no side effects. So please don't stress because I'm pretty sure that's what caused my period to be late (:"


"After being on various hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine drugs for a couple of years with no pain relief I was prescribed Dilaudid (hydromorphone).  I was amazed at how well it worked to eliminate 100% of my back pain.  HOWEVER, I quickly built up a tolerance to it and within a year I went from being prescribed 2mg 3x/day to 8mg 3x/day (very few pharmacies even have 8mg Dilaudid).  "


"My husband is diabetic and takes Victoza. He has lost a substantial amount of weight since he has been on it and he eats CONSTANTLY!  We have had to buy him a whole new wardrobe.  I went to the Doc last week and I am pre-diabetic and have been on Metformin for about a year.  The Doc suggested I take Victoza to help me lose weight and bump my A1C on down. I started out at 1.2 mg dose and so far I just feel a little nausea when my blood sugar drops. I just eat a little something or pop a hard candy into my mouth and the feeling goes away.  I have only been taking the shot for 4 days but I have already lost 3lbs.
I will check back after a few weeks with an update."


"I took Vicodin for a tooth that is severely infected and in need of work done to it. Without Vicodin it just throbs and keeps me up all night."


"Took it for hormonal acne at many different doses.

Worked well in the beginning, but my dermatologist had to keep increasing my dose.  I finally maxed out at 200mg a day, and results weren't optimal.  I finally took accutane.

The bad: as my dose increased, I gained weight.  It took almost 18 months to lose the 10lbs I gained. I'm a very athletic and active person, too.

Do I recommend it? debatable"


"I suffer from depression, back pain and anxiety that has been gradually getting worse.  I started taking nortriptyline and noticed a number of changes within 24 hours. I finally slept through the night.  My back pain dramatically improved and my anxiety lessened.  Sounds amazing right?  Well yes, but I was also crying all the time and felt even more depressed.  I also began having bad thoughts about hurting myself.  I have had bad thoughts in the past, but always had control of them.  These felt very different, I had no control of them.

For some people this medicine is a miracle, but if you start to have thoughts that don%u2019t feel right when you start taking this medication, go to your doctor immediately."


"I started Contrave 5 days (11/13/2017) ago. I have ZERO side effects... yesterday I went to "all  you can eat buffet" and did not look away from food.... I am not sure, if I eat less.... I do not think so. I will keep taking it for a while and we will see. I will give an update in a month or so..."


"So I have been constipated since I was an infant. Only the colonoscopy bowel preps would ever give me a full bowl movement.. I would drink that magnesium citrate when I got to bloated and uncomfortable. My GI dr gave me some Linzess samples to try. I used Miralax at night and Linzess in the morning. On the first day, my body was shocked and my bowels ejected lol... the second day I was constipated again. Third day, small bowel movement. I am hoping it will help with my abdominal pain and bloat and I am sick of being in constant pain and discomfort."


"Worked well and fast,  Largest wart fell off in 3 days,  smaller ones in 5-6 days.  Pain was minimal."


"I could see its very faint effect on me though I tried it 5 - 6 times. Not really useful."


"Took Bystolic 5mg for a month. At first it seemed to be okay. I liked it because it did not make me dizzy but by the third week started getting side effects. First off I was so tired and no energy, thought it was me but no it was Bystolic. Then my shoulder joints started aching and kind of running down to my wrist in both arms. Not too bad but still there, and the last straw with me was when my left arm started to tingle on the outside of my forearm.  Well started cutting them in half so now I was taking 2.5 mg for the last week and it made no difference. Every time I took the pill hours later my arm would start tingling along with the other side effects. Also another thing it made me gain ten pounds in a months time, also bloating."


"Haven't been effective at all. Gave me severe headache. I switched to esomeprazole instead which was very very effective."


"I have been taking Seasonale for almost 3 years now. I'm 21 & pretty healthy. When I started, I had breakthrough bleeding for about 3 weeks and a little nausea. Before Seasonale, I had 8 day heavy periods and would get pretty bad cramping. With this pill, I have a very light period once every 3 months, no cramping at all and no other symptoms. I have had no weight gain, rarely any breast tenderness and it prevents pregnancy, so I can't complain too much. My ONLY problem with this pill is that it gives me acne in waves. I'll go a month with very little acne, then for a few months have lots of breakouts, some of them painful. I never had any acne prior to taking the pill, but now I do.. Otherwise, I highly recommend this pill"


"I take Wellbutrin for help with the management of stress and it works wonderfully! I used to be in a bad mood and very tired after work which was not good for my kids or husband.  I take 100mg at 6:00 am and another 100mg at 2:00 pm and it makes a HUGE difference in my mood, energy level, and diminishes my cravings for chocolate.  What I like the MOST is how I have energy ALL DAY LONG now.  I used to be so tired all the time even though I was not depressed or sick.  Now I have energy even after a long day of work. I must drink 50-60 ounces of water daily or I have bad muscle pain. But so long as I get in enough water I feel fabulous and definitely recommend this for others who have a hard time with stress and low energy levels."


"I've been having chronic headaches for the past month to the point where they get severe (not a migraine) so I asked my dr for Sumatripan and she gave me it, little did I know it doesn't get rid of the headache nor relieve it, I'm on day 2 of it and all it's done is make me dizzy, my chest feel heavy and horrible that I can't breathe and need to cough hard, my shoulders feel heavy and achein my neck, and it's made my headache feel like a full blown migraine which I haven't felt for 4 years, never having it again I don't recommend this medication it's made me feel really horrible"


"I was I was prescribed this antibiotic yesterday and within a few hours after taking the first dose I felt like a freezing sensation over my entire body. I started sweating really bad and had a freezing sensation in the middle of my upper back. My temperature dropped from 101.8 to 97.6  I’m really scared to take anymore of it. Also the back of my neck is sore and my head has a tingling sensation."


"My son had a tumor removed from the pituitary gland, yes the gland was removed too. My son was 10 years old the size of a 6 year old. Yes we like to preserve our children and I sort of got to do that. He still sat on my lap and I could still carry him to his bed at 10 years old, because he was so small due to the tumor. He has been taking the Nutropin for 6 1/2 years and he is now 5' 9". He will be 17 this summer. My son has been through a lot and never let that stop him. He will graduate from High School next year and is one of the smartest people I know and he plans on going to college. He is a remarkable young man."


"This medication for me has been lifesaving. I have had allergies to every other medication I tried. When I started on it I was very activated which was great, but wore off after about a week. I have been stablised on 40 mg twice a day since week 2. It is definitely working for me."


"Finally relief. I have suffered all of my adult life with severe pain from menstrual cramps.  After taking Lupron (which stopped my period) I was left with these reactive painful pelvic/uterine muscle spasms. The muscle would seize up and cause pain for no reason. Baclofen worked from day one.  And no sleepiness and no loopy feeling--very nice."


"I wanted to take the time to write a review in the hopes to give at least one person the self confidence boost they need to keep going with Retin-A.  I've been waiting for the day I get to write my own review.

I officially started using Retin- A .25 just under 4 months ago today.  My first day was 3 weeks before my birthday.  I remember contacting my Dermo in advance with a million questions and mostly the fear of going through THE PURGE during this busy time filled with celebrations, events, etc.  I thankfully, made the gamble and started!  I decided it was always be... I'll start next week, next month.  Let's be real, when is there ever a good time for acne?!

I can only describe the last 4 months as a roller coaster.  There will be good days. There will be days you hide inside. At some points I thought I was done purging, then it would come back.  IT TAKES TIME.  Painful cysts too, that do not go away.  I would rather have 20 white head pimples all over than 1 deep painful cyst on my face!  It was the most challenging thing I've gone through. It will test your patience.  To the point of tears, and why me's!  At one point I scheduled an emergency Dermo appt to receive Cortizon injections on 3 cysts that were almost the size of dimes!! I couldn't take it anymore.  This was 2.5 months. He sat me down and said it takes 3-4 months for results to be reached and you will hate your dermo for that time and gave me the push to continue to go forward.

Here's the good news!  I am at my 4 month mark, and I have never been more happy.  I haven't had a break out in 1.5 weeks.  I don't know the last time I've been able to say that. I can take on the CALI summer and not feel like I'm hiding.  My biggest advise is be strong!   Tell yourself everyday, it's only 4 months of the rest of your life.  Get past the 4-5 month mark and it will all be worth it!  The past will be a blur!  Good luck and you can do it!"


Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IIa, Elevated LDL

"Good experience, helped with my high level of cholesterol and triglycerides. I used the 145 without side effects."


"After first shot started to clear In 3 days   waiting for second shot   I have had psoriasis for 23 years nothing worked then 3 days after shot clear weird but great feeling  and I hate medicines but can't deny this works"


"Been on this medicine for a month and had lots of trouble. Had palpitations and heart hurts. High blood pressure and don't know if I should stop taking this drug. Lost 20 pounds already."


"This is very helpful to me. Thanks."


"I began Contrave on March 23 2017, So three weeks now. I have just started the 2 dose in am and 2 dose in pm. I have to admit I was very excited to try this. However, the first week I had a lot of anxiety. I had read this might be a side affect so I continued to tell myself "It's just the medicine" I have lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks with no exercise. As the dose got stronger my anxiety grew, but my appetite decreased. After a week on the increased dosage the anxiety started to fade I hope it will be the same this time. The product works. If you can keep a level head, and realize the side effects will diminish. This might work for you as well. I am excited to see where I will be after a month on the full dose."


"This medic did not work for me. Not even a little."


"I do not tolerate birth control pills as a general rule and I found Yaz extremely tolerable. I didn't have any side effects on it to start with it helped my heavy menstrual bleeding and as an added bonus my skin was much clearer. I was only on it a short time, however, because it did cause an increase in the severity and frequency of my migraines. I had the worst complex migraine I have ever had while on this medication. I would recommend it for the most part, but maybe not for migraine sufferers."


"I had a difficult 2nd pregnancy and got this form of birth control on 7/27/16. The procedure was a little uncomfortable with very mild cramps but nothing I couldn't handle, I actually thought it was going to be worse based on reviews. I spotted for a few days and I'm fine 3 days later. I haven't had sex yet and have not had a period yet so I cannot say anything on that yet and the reason I'm rating it an 8. I will leave another review after."


"Subutex saved my life hands down. I was an out of control opiate addict before I finally admitted my problem to my doctor.  I was put on a Suboxone first, but had negative reactions to the naloxone in it (rashes and swelling).  The Subutex was more effective too.  I had to stop taking it cold turkey when I got pregnant and suffered some pretty rough withdrawals symptoms (nothing as bad as detoxing from oxycodone though).  A few months ago I was diagnosed with a kidney stone and was prescribed opiates to treat the excruciating pain.  I immediately started abusing them and found myself back in the clutches of addiction.  I just got back on Subutex today.  I'm so thankful for this medication.  I know I can regain control of my life again!"


"I had so many bizarre symptoms!  I had hot and cold flashes, night sweats, numbness and tingling in fingers and feet/calf that lasted weeks, difficulty concentrating and I had mild depression symptoms (easy to cry, very emotional), irritable, etc!  Many premenopausal symptoms that were getting harder to live with.  I was also diagnosed with an underactive thyroid that was adding to my symptoms.  The first HRT (hormone replacement therapy) pill I was put on, I was allergic to one of the dyes in the third week of pills.  This pill has improved my symptoms greatly and I am interested in my husband once again.  THANK YOU Ocella for making me feel better!"


"I take it for chronic back & foot pain. I had been taking OxyContin ER, but insurance isn't covering that anymore. I am not a fan of short-acting meds, trying to stay on top of pain with them.  MS Contin seems to be working only slightly less effectively as the OxyContin ER. More dry mouth, less sedating tho. Both seem about equal on other side effects. I'm happy with it!"


"I've been taking Geodon for about four weeks. Before that I was on Quetiapine which works well but gave me horrible weight gain (their paper says 10 pounds a year average and I gained 23 in 6 week! Still eating well too!)
I have had minor side effects. When I first take it, it affects my concentration. I have a hard time driving and specifically moving things like looking at the road make me sleepy. If I'm not driving (or looking at the road specifically) my tiredness seems to be much better. I have had some short term memory problems especially if I'm stressed at the same time. Other than that this med has worked well for me and is keeping my weight down. Now I just have to exercise off the 23 pound belly and thighs the quetiapine gave me."


"My daughter began using this drug in December of 2013. On January 25, 2014, she died from a blood clot to her lung. She was not overweight, did not smoke, or had any conditions that were supposed to have negative implications re: use of this drug. However, in the prescribing doctors notes the Dr. advised her not to take this drug. This information was never told to my wife by my daughter, and, therefore, in my opinion, was a lie. This drug, I believe, killed my daughter. My daughter died 10 days before her 21st birthday."


"Amitiza has worked well for over two years to control constipation which is a direct result of opioids taken for pain control.  However my doctor gave me a box of Movantik to try instead.  NEVER AGAIN!
Within a short period of time my colon began cramping for several hours.  Initially I hoped that a bowel movement would reduce the pain.  It did not! I then got diarrhea.  Not wanting to call 911, I tried to breath deeply as I went from chills to sweats to chills & the cramping continued.Praying not to throw up but when I did, it was SO VIOLENT that it went through one of my nostrils.  I had peritonitis 20 years ago, and it is a toss up which was worse.  Childbirth wasn't as severe.  I'll never again try this pill even at a lesser dosage."


"Got inserted Oct 2015 fast forwarding to now. At first it was great due to new mommy of two and won't have to remember to take a pill. Lost a lot of weight while breastfeeding 30 lb including baby weight, but once I stopped breastfeeding the weight came back and definitely had mood swings, irritable & emotional which I never experienced after my first child. I became active and ate somewhat healthy but I'm still struggle to get to lose the weight. May2017- I'm now looking for alternative birth control because the side effects are too much at this point"


"I was having panic attacks all the time which morphed into a stressful state of depression. Yes, I was falling apart. I'd also lost a lot of weight, no appetite. I started on 20mg but wow, this stuff is strong!  My pupils became super dilated, I looked like I was on mdma.  I moved down to 10mg for a while then worked my way up to 20mg, then back down to 10mg.  I got almost every side effect in the book: constipation, bizarre dreams, sedation, sexual side effects, sleeping ten hours a night, then taking two hour naps late in the day.  BUT, the panic stopped!  Wow, for the first time in my life I could go to movie theaters, and restaurants with no panic attacks. Gained weight back, it was great. Finally quit when my life was back in order."


"I'm 27 and have had cystic acne since age 11. I took Accutane my soph. year of college and it worked pretty much instantly with good results and no side effects (maybe dry lips but I barely remember that). The acne came back though about 2 years later, and I took a second cycle. About 4-5 years later (now) it has come back slowly and I am considering a 3rd round. I've used Proactiv for over a year, and that was working, but has seemed to stop working and severely dry out my skin. I'm nervous about the side effects with a third round, but the first 2 cycles I had no issues- so I'm hoping this round will last longer!"


"I quit using meth a year ago and have had random anxiety, panic attacks, and an insane racing heart all the time.  Xanax and benzos make me way uncomfortable so my Dr prescribed me Hydroxyzine.  It works AMAZING for me.  If you can get the pressed pills instead of the capsules.  Sometimes the whole 25mgs makes me to tired especially if I'm at work.  With the pressed pill it's easy to just take half. I really recommend for anyone who hasn't found something else that works"


"It been taking bydureon for about 4 months. I absolutely love this medicine. After taking metformin for 2 years I requested the switch. So many side effects for me w metformin. The only side effect I notice w bydureon is nausea. In the beginning it was more pronounced but now I just notice it from time to time and it subsides rather quickly. My blood sugars are so much more in control. I have also lost 15 pounds and looking forward to losing more! So glad I switched to this medicine!!"


"Before I came to the US I was taking other medications for epilepsy but upon dealing with a US doctor he recommended 2000 mg of Depakote daily. I immediately  went to the library and checked the side effects, which were considerable. I asked the doctor if I could take a smaller dose but he didn't think it wise. I decided to take matters into my own hands and reduce my dosage. I have been taking 250 mg now for 35 years with no seizures. Early on I found that when I took long flights to Asia and missed sleep and became dehydrated I would increase my dosage and then when I came back home I would slowly lower it again. I don't believe I am suffering from any side effects of this drug."


"Started contrave 12/25/14. Now 2 lbs short of losing 40 (1/3 of goal) Wt. fluctuates due to how much liquid I have. With salty foods, I gain. Water helps. I was a binge eater and I was a coffee drinker. With chocolate, now don't want it or just a bite. Fruit, veggies, water are my go-to's. I eat other foods but now count all calories. Try to be under 1000.  I HATED water. Now it's my ultra fave, over diet iced tea, diet mixes/pop. I don't diet; just not stark raving hungry where anything will do. I now think about what I should have. Eat anything I want but not much. Now picky. Only effect now is constipation so Miralax daily/prunes weekly. Side effects were bad at 1st mainly cuz I was eating/drinking addict food. Once realized, all good since. =) happy me"


"I'm 17 and I've been on this medicine for 6 months now and I'm super pleased with it. I choose it because I didn't want flu-like symptoms. At first I was nervous about getting skin reactions but I haven't had anything at all! It was quite painful for the first couple of weeks and using heat and cold packs helped it but now I don't need to use them. I totally recommend this but it's a bit too soon for me to know if it's reducing attacks."


"I was doing any and all narcotics that I could get my hands on now I'm taking 100mg of methadone a day. I honestly think it saved my life. I know its saved my marriage."


"I just started using this BC, and it has been horrible. I was told to just push through it & that the pain would go away after the first full month. I constantly have cramps (as if I'm starting my period) and nauseous every other day. I'm also starting to develop headaches frequently but not sure if that's directly correlated."


"It really does work! Be very aware that it gets worse before it gets better, I'm on my third month and the results are really starting to come.

Also what helped me was Clinique sonic brush, with the normal skin face wash and the oil control moisturiser! The stuff does miracles. Expensive but so worth it."


"I've had many urinary tract infections and the normal medicines just quit working - I've been successfully treated with Vantin 3 times."


"I was on microgestin 1.5 for almost a year but hated the way it made me feel bloated and uncomfortable all the time. I take birth control to help with my horrible cramps that leave me bed ridden if not controlled. My Dr. Switched me to triNessna and at first it was great. No side effects...no bloating...slight change in my sex drive. But it didn't help with the cramps...as a matter of fact I would cramp longer during my period on it than I would without it. I thought since I had just stared it I would give it some time. I've been on it for 6 months now and I have been bleeding/spotting on and off throughout the day for 4 days now and I'm in the middle of the pack. I'm making him switch to something else."


"Ive had my implant for almost 3 years and I absolutely hate it at this point. I've gained 40lbs, always tired and sad, I have terrible mood swings and I'm severely depressed. I never want to do anything and due to me bleeding for months at a time I've opted out of having sex. I will be getting my implant removed next week thank god!!!"


"This is not the first time I have been on this medicine for recurrent sinus infections, I don't like it but it always seems to work. I am taking 2 500mg once per day. The disgusting taste in my mouth generally starts around day 2, and headaches around day 3. I can't sleep when I am taking it, but so far no other issues, I will be glad to stop taking it, 4 more days to go."


"This isn't as bad as what some others have described it to be. The medicine tastes like diluted cough syrup and doesn't taste very awful. You have to drink a lot of water within the next hour so that made me a bit nauseous. I made sure to take it slow for my second bottle. Each suprep drink made me stay in the toilet for about 3 hours. So get your movie(s) ready. Use wet toilet sheets and wipe prep H / diaper rash cream to keep your butt from getting sore."


"It helped me curb my urges to eat."


"I have been on prozac now for a while as I suffer from ocd and ptsd also. I feel as if it has made me crazier, if thats possible. Some days I can't stop twitching, feel full of energy and experience nausea. Other days my bones hurt, I feel not fully awake and just odd. Keeping in mind that daily, I have a high levels of caffeine and smoke marijuana. and not daily, but weekly I drink quite a bit of alcohol. I have noticed alcohol and prozac really don't mix. but nevertheless, I am still taking 20mg daily (which i do not think is enough) but then some days I want to stop taking it altogether? I do not although prozac doses shouldn't be skipped but evidently the only words I can use to describe this drug is odd and weird and idk???! uuGh"


"Well well...let's just say if you have IBS like me and you go days of using the bathroom constantly then several days of not using it at all with constant bloating after meals for hour...then this is the stuff you need. I have been on this for 5 months  and my life has changed drastically! I no longer complain of bloat because this will clear you out. It is almost like anything I put in my mouth automatically triggers my gut to gotta go to the potty. Sometimes 5 or 6 times a day, sometimes once or twice. And it is not solid, but I'll take what I can get. Thank you creators of Linzess. But warning...If you don't have strong muscles this might not be the best drug for you. And if you can't run...u will need depends."


"I have some genetic defects pertaining to folate and I read people have had some success with methyfolate so I thought it might help with some of my issues (Depression/anxiety/ADD-PI ). I tried it as a individual vitamin and it made my brain fog worse, and I developed a feeling of being somewhere between tired/fatigued and agitated. I tried lowering the dose but it didn't help. However, for some reason, I have no issues with it intertwined with other vitamins/minerals in a whole food multivitamin....it seems very strange to me, but whatever works."


"Have taken other medications in the past and stopped due to the side effects.  Now I take bupropion xl 300 mg a day with no apparent side effects.  I can laugh.  I can still cry.  I don't dwell on bad things.  It makes me just feel better.  But Dr accidently wrote for SR once.  I went ahead and took a dose (thinking it would be basically the same, only a little faster acting - I took a 150 mg dose) and was sick as a dog and felt drugged.  Amazing the difference in XL and SR - and I imagine the fast acting would be even more severe.  I'll stick to the XL."


"Works extremely well."


"This medicine turned me into a complete idiot! Due to the dilated pupils you could throw reading and depth perception out the window for the three days this drug was in my system. Stairs and elevator buttons were a real source of entertainment for the rest of our party "helping me" lol.

Due to a possible conflicting drug interaction (or lack therof) with the way this medication effects the absorption of other medications through your digestive trac, my ADD medicine either didn't work at all, or a possible interaction of the two made my short term memory nonexistent! I would literally ask a question and ask it again in less than 5 minutes.

Really scary stuff, didn't even feel comfortable driving back home after getting off our cruise!"


"I have no problem falling asleep, but wake in the night and sometimes cannot fall back to sleep. I take one half tablet 12.5 mg of Phenergen and even if my sleep is disturbed I fall back to sleep easily, and wake up refreshed."


"Taking pain meds after having back surgery really stuffed me up for 10 days. After trying stool softeners and miralax I hit the web and found lots of good stuff about Magnesium Citrate. I took it around noon and drank 4 or five big cups of water within a few hours. It tasted kinda bitter, but it didn't make me gag or nauseous. After a few hours I became pretty bloated and it was not comfortable. I was starting to think it wasn't going to work until 3:30 am when I finally emptied out. Great stuff. Feel so much better. Worth a day of cramps."


"I typically don't write reviews.  But almost a year of taking and not any  outbreaks. Great med. And gave me my life back.

I am healed in Jesus' name.

Hsv- 2 survivor."


"I've been taking this pill for two months now and have been bleeding for the last 28 days,  and this is with already skipping the sugar pills.  Can't imagine if I actually had let my body have a period.  The doctor said give it three months,  I'm waiting.  I have cramps every day,  motrin is like a daily routine now day and night.  Has anyone experienced this?"


"I'm so thankful for Epiduo! It works wonders! Yes, there is the downfall of dry flaky skin but that can be cured with Cetaphil oil control moisturizer. Other than that my face feels and looks amazing!"


"I have a 16 year old daughter that just started struggling with acne over the last year.  She is an elite athlete and I have watched her confidence diminish greatly.  We have tried homeopathic treatments, over the counter, prescription topicals and antibiotics with no results only her acne getting worse. We decided to give birth control pills a shot. She has been on them 2 months no change yet. We just added spironolactone into the mix and in 8 days I have seen her skin change.  Her acne is already better.  Now it's not clear but can see the change happening.  A study of birth control pills and spironolactone for hormonal acne 85% of women have a clearing of acne. Think she started to clear fast because she was already on Birth control pills for 2 months. "


"The first time I used Duac it was very effective, no irritation or symptoms after using it but a bit dry on affected areas. After a while I stopped using it as my skin was fine, when my acne came back I began to use it again after about two weeks. The morning after applying it my skin came out in large red blotches around affected areas, and it burned, was extremely itchy and it was dry. I have tried to using it now again since a month of not using it again and the same has happened, won’t be using this product again."


"On my 7th day of Lexapro I developed a rash on my arms and was alarmed, especially when I read about the possibility of rash being a side effect of the medication.  With my doctor's guidance I treated the rash as a contact allergy (detergent, etc.) and kept taking the Lexapro. The rash came back one more time but never again.  Lexapro did not give me the sudden weight loss, dizziness, visual "trails", nausea, etc. of other SSRI's I had tried before (Prozac worked for me, anxiety-wise, but the side effects were a bit much... Paxil resulted in extreme dizziness and was stopped after only a few days).  I find Lexapro worth the extra money and recommend it even to people who may have had bad experiences with SSRI's before."


"I take 90mg of Cymbalta with Provigil and Seroquel - really helped me out of depression, and I am glad I take it. I have not felt depressed like I did.  "


"Very good results and treatment outcomes for anxiety, and "social phobia.""


"I started having severe lower back pain in 1995 and was prescribed Flexeril at the time. I ended up staying on it until 2009. My new doctor decided to take me off it for 3-months and I ended up in the ER with my back in severe pain, every 3 weeks like clockwork. They decided to try the ophenadrine at 100mg. I take it once a day in the morning and I haven't felt so good in all the years. I was on the Flexeril 40mg. I don't know how long it will keep working but I've been taking one a day for a whole month now and I'm about to run out.. with no refills. I'm very-nervous about the pain coming back but for now I give this medicine a thumbs up."


"I was misdiagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and it turned out that I had Bipolar 2 Disorder. I take Effexor 150 mg for my Depression and Abilify 10 mg for my mood swings and anxiety. It works pretty well, but I do have restlessness and random hyperness at times, especially around my period. I'd recommend it."


"I got the implanon in 2013 I believe and my experience has been pretty confusing. I mean it works, you won't get pregnant but I've had my arm go numb and burn from having it. I don't have a period anymore which I'm not complaining but I still get the cramps and they are worse than they used to be. I've gained a lot of weight and considering I have bipolar disorder my moods did change but they have gotten worse since I've been on the implanon but other than all the complaints I have it works the way it is supposed to"


"I'm done with my 14 day free trial and lost 9 lbs. I'll be starting a higher dosage tomorrow.  Dry mouth The only "side effects" if you would call it that  is dry mouth."


"I love yaz, it has it's downs like the tiredness and sometimes the bad headaches, but overall it's been a great birth control for me. I was on another one about two years ago, and nearly killed myself while on it because of the hormones. Me Yaz=Love."


"Working very good"


"I've been on this bc for 2 and a half weeks and so far the only thing that I have experienced is breast tenderness and more tired than usual. I'll give another update after a month. I take it the same time every night around 12 midnight."


"I got the FluMist vaccination two weeks ago, and I'm still experiencing the side effects.  I've stayed congested and have done nothing but sneeze and cough.  "


"My insurance no longer covers Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO so I had to switch to Sprintec, which I assume is the generic version. The first thing I noticed is that the pills were quite a bit larger which may have no effect on anything at all. I have been experiencing severe nausea, as well as loss of appetite and fatigue. I understand that it probably takes some time for the body to get used to the hormones. However, I am surprised at how strong my symptoms are, considering I never went off BC entirely, just switched brands. I learned early on to take BC medication before bed to ease the nausea, but this really hasn't helped with the Sprintec. I look forward to the improvement in my complexion that others have reported!"


"Had Mirena placed in December of 2014 for endometriosis. Bled 15-20 days out of the month. 9 months after placement started to have severe hip, low back pain and nausea. Had severe PMS and a lot of hair loss. Turns out it perforated my uterus and I had to have emergency surgery. I would not recommend this device to anyone! Horrible experience with it and I wish I never had one placed!"


"At first it kept me awake, but that went away in like a week or two. By the 3rd month I can say this is the best stuff I've been in and can laugh again and not hate the world. I have severe depression, anxiety with PTSD."


"It did empty my colon but very expensive."


"I've been on Xulane on and off as my postpartum method of birth control. I don't experience bloating, weight gain, rashes or nausea which is good. However, I noticed that after wearing a patch for 3 days to a week, I start to get yeast infection symptoms. I've gotten about three yeast infections while using Xulane. It works, I just wish it wouldn't give me an uncomfortable infection. I used to use the Orthro Evra patch which is 20x better and by far the best patch in my opinion."


"I had stopped using Byetta but my A1C is high so I will try it again. I am optimistic because I know from experience that Byetta works. I used it for six months but often had to throw up so - my quality of life was not good. I did lose 10 pounds and my blood sugar was great. Maybe the 5mg dose is the answer."


"Been using it for years. Works great."


"I'm 19 and have been on Zarah for 2 years due to endometriosis. I don't notice my periods being much lighter while on it but that's probably due to my condition. I have had zero weight gain on this medication and my skin is always clear.  It made me a little nauseous I'm the beginning, but nothing like what other bc pills did to me.  This is by far my favorite!"


"Well! You would not think to get such a thing at the age of 36, But it is me you know? And anything annoying like that usually has to bite me in the rear. But this medicine gave noticeable results a couple of days later. I can now see the knots on my ankles again! And I no longer have legs like John Goodman. So I suppose this means my kidneys are not up to snuff then."


"It takes about 2 hours to start working, so it's definitely a long-acting medication.  It says it lasts for 12 hours but it only lasts 7 for me, every time, without fail.  I cannot just take the Zohydro ER but I need to take my rescue medication else be miserable for 2 hours before it works.

It gives you constipation sometimes, even if you drink a ton of water.

It seems to be weak pain relief.  I wish it could work better and last longer.   My doctor is switching me to a different ER pain medication now."


"Only good thing about this birth control is that not having to remembering to take it. Cons about this birth control weight gain, two to three week periods that are very light, horrible mood swings, memory loss, horrible back pain.
Honestly wish I never got on it, try something else it's not worth the headache.."


"Over 30 years of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with constipation. Dozens of ER visits by ambulance. Severe abdominal pain, back pain, vomiting, fainting."


"I have tried many other anxiety medications. This took about 4 weeks to work but is great. I'm 34 years old and have had anxiety since I was a teenager. This is the best I have felt in my adult life. Also taking Prozac once daily. Great combination."


"1I was on anafranil many years ago.  Took it for 5 years.  Unfortunately, after 5 years, it stopped working for me.  But, it is a wonder medication.  Give it a try.  More than likely, it will work for you.  If not, give fluvoxamine a try.  It is another really good one.  Otnly side effect was dry mouth.  Small price to pay for the wonder effects I got from anafranil.  Give it a try. When I took it, there was no co-pay.  Nowadays, there probably will be a co-pay, but probably not a bad one."


"This really works. I used it for a week and my acne cleared but I found out using a bit to much will dry your face up and itch badly, but worth it, well for me. I was also given DIFFERIN with it, makes a good combination."


"This is the first birth control pill I've been on and I started taking it the same time as Lexapro (anti-anxiety).  I conquered all of my anxiety problems and stopped taking it, however I have gained 10 lbs since April and my acne has been horrible. I've read a lot of reviews about Lutera and have noticed the same things. I dont have cramps or bleed near as bad, however the day before I start my period and the day after the last sugar pill I'm an absolute nightmare. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm looking for a different pill. I'm asking my doctor about it as soon as I get home."


"A horrible drug. Macrobid should be banned, I feel weak and I have had two anxiety attacks because of it. I'm super tired and depressed. I am sensitive to antibiotics anyways, I called CVS and they told me to continue it!!! Ummm, hell no!

Whether you take it with or without food it is horrible for your body. I felt pins and  needles in my back from this on the third night. Buh-bye"


"DMF is already for longer than 35 years used for treating psoriasis in Germany. It is an excellent medication, if you use it right. In its basic for it is extremely cheap.
The warnings for the brain disease are correct and caused by low lymphocytes, but this situation is easy to circumvent.
The protocol that is prescribed by the producer is far too quick. You should do a much slower build up of the medication. During the build up there should be a very regular check on the lymphocytes and also when you are "leveled" you should have your lymph's checked regularly until you are sure that you are stable. Furthermore take the medication intermittently, 5 days meds vs 2 day no meds, is far more effective "


"I have occasional sleeping problems such linked to stress, such as not being able to fall asleep for around 2 to 5 hours or waking up in the middle of night and not being able to fall asleep afterwards. Someone recommended me to try Nustasium  (diphenhydramine). It kicked in after 30 minutes to 1 hour I took it and it helped me sleep without waking up till morning for as many as 8-9 hours. However I felt dizzy and sleepy in the mornings. And in cases when I slept more than 8 hours like at the weekend I felt very weak and dizzy the whole day. Might be good for occasional use when I know I need long hours of sleep as with it I don't wake up early, but certainly not for continuous use, at least for me."


"This medication help with my chronic constipation, however I did experience some side effects.They were mild enough that I continue to take the medicine."

"Provigil has given me my life back!  I have been on 200mg twice a day and the results are great!  When I quit teaching and went on my husband's insurance, the insurance company refused to pay for two times a day, so my doctor put me on Nuvigil.  I was on it for 6 weeks and I was always tired.  I am moving back to Provigil. "
