"This medicine helped me to fall asleep after a solid week without sleep. However, I did not stay asleep. Going to try Lunesta tonight."


"I've been on this 7 day's and the side effects are not easy. Nausea, anxiety, sweating and hot flashes, dry mouth, plus headaches and dizziness. "


"Started taking Adipex March 28, 2012 not on Sundays and had the flu for two days which I didn't take the pills either. I am a 6 ft 2 in male who starting weight was 289lbs on 3/28/2012. Today is now 4/23/2012 and my weight is now 274.6 lbs! I do exercise but I could not lose any weight. I am very pleased with my loss and I simply started tracking the things I eat and making better choices. You can do it just drink plenty of water and or juices and you will be fine. Good luck"


"I have tried Cymbalta, tramadol, gabapentin, Lyrica, and other but this medicine took all my pain away. This pill only took my pain away for 8 months then it wasn't as effective. Also made me gain a lot of weight. I still take it because it removes my pain after taking it last a few hours. Also the medication helps me sleep. It will knock you out."


"Had severe urinary tract infection. It was very painful to urinate. After taking only one pill, pain subsided in ten minutes.  I suffer from urinary tract infections frequently and have taken many medicines. This medicine is a miracle for me."


"Cialis 5 mg works great for me for my Benign Prostatic Hyperlasia.  I have tried all the other medicines for BPH but none of them worked.  A daily dose of 5 mg greatly improved my symptoms.  Sometimes, I don't use it on a daily basis, just take it occasionally, and it still works like a charm. "


"I've read all these reviews and I completely disagree with them. My experience with Aviane has been nothing but negative.  I was on it for 2 months, I gained about 8lbs (and I'm short, so that's a ton of weight and a whole pant size), my mood swings were out of control, and my first period on it lasted for 8 days and my second is on day 6 right now.  If I wanted to have a period that lasted that long, I wouldn't have started the pill to begin with. I'm going back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen because I absolutely refuse to deal with the side effects.  I mean, granted, I haven't had any cramps, but this weight gain and mood swings at the beginning of summer is a no go for me."


"I was given STADOL because I was at 3 cm for so long, yet my contractions were getting unbearable (can't get the epidural until 4 cm).  The nurse told me, it works for some people and not for others. I am assuming it either takes the pain away or it doesn't. Well, it literally made me INSTANTLY start sweating, and my eyes were rolling in the back of my head.  However, no pain relief.  I got extremely restless and an intense feeling of confusion and dysphoria.  I was so unprepared for that feeling, it's horrible.  Being in a hospital, in labor, confused, restless, still feeling everything.  I researched it when I got home and apparently, only somewhere around 1% experience this.  Just pray you're the lucky 99%."


"It helps me get to sleep without thinking all night long."


"My mother gave this to me as a kid and I had not taken it for probably 30+ years.  I was horribly sick with the flu and had someone pick some of this up for me and it still managed to do the trick.  The secret is to lie still and don't take any food or drink in for an hour or so.  Works wonders."


"I was on lisinopril 10 mg for years and years but my BP kept going up. On Monday the Doctor started me on lisinopril 20/25 because my BP was 180/110.  This ok the meds Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday without problems.  Friday I fainted but thought I was sick, Saturday I fainted again 1.5 hours after taking the dose.  Don't know if I should drop back down to 10 mg for Sunday and Monday but will be going into the office first thing Monday morning!"


"This is my first experience with any form of birth control and it's been HORRIBLE.  Today is day 12 of my pack and I am quitting.  All Taytulla has done is given me a 12 day long period and broken me out TERRIBLY.  I am not waiting a month, let alone 3 months, to see how my body adjusts to the hormones.  My skin went nuts within the first week so I know for a fact that it is birth control that caused it.  So, so bad."


"My experience so far has been right on par with the others. 15 minutes after inserting the ovule and applying the itch cream I was in major discomfort! EXTREME ITCHING AND BURNING. Currently sitting with a cooling pack. I'm curious to see if it's at least affective. But so far definitely not worth it."


"2 yrs on generic suboxone tablets (Roxanne Labs or Amneal brands only decent generics). I've tried to tapper with my Doc once but mentally wasn't ready. Dosage was 16mg/day or 2x8mg/day.
Found out My insurance copay  is the same on Zubsolv (name brand) as Generic Suboxone. Strange I thought since Name brand Suboxone Films AND Bunavail are still PRE-AUTH ONLY. Now, bare with me. Films have been on market for years but Zubsolv is $10 overnight? Ok. It's been about 10 days since starting Zubsolv. 5.7mgX2/day. No way this is a competitor to Suboxone. I love the under 10min dissolving time AND toothpaste flavor. Wife asked if Ive been taking my medicine. Yep. Im irritable, short tempered, VERY Lerhargic ZUBSOLV ACTS AS A REALLY IS A DIFFERENT DRUG FOR ME"


"I was taking Levora for a year and a half and am now switching medication. Since I started taking it I am always tired even when I sleep great. I have had 4 yeast infections... ew. Lower sex drive/don't self-lubricate and I've gained about 50 pounds (although part of that could be bad diet; haven't changed my diet though). Everyone's different, and side effects aren't horrible, but I would not recommend"


"I've had Nexplanon for about a year and 2 months now. It's really great to me. The insertion was painless. My cycle is kind of off balance though. I can say I had my period four times and every time it was for like 3 to 4 days. The acne is horrible I get it in my face, back and chest. No weight gain and slight hair loss nothing major. But overall I do recommend it. It beats getting a shot every couple months and taking a pill everyday."


"As a 36 year old male suffering from osteoarthritis,this drug has made a substantial difference in my quality of life. I was not sure how long I would be able to keep working, now that I am being treated with this drug, my quality of life has increased greatly. I am able to work without severe pain. A definite plus is I don't have to worry about a narcotic cloudiness to contain my pain. I can now play and walk outside with my children. I am afraid of the side effects, but so far so good. Recommend this to others who may benefit from its use."


"I smoked for 7 years. I took this medicine and stopped smoking cold turkey and haven't thought of it since."


"I have been taking Sinemet for more than 6 months. I started with 1 pill every meal (3 times a day) and then I went to two pills with every Meal. I feel Okay, except that I am having problems with my eyes. I see double sometimes. Furthermore, I have been afflicted with Steven-Johnston Syndrome, since the age of 19 years old. This causes Dry Eyes plus I have eye lashes going In ward, which does not help matters.

I rated Sinemet as 8 but I am sure Sinemet is good for me since I no longer have the symptoms associated with Parkinson disease. My problems seem to be associated more with eyes"


"Do not take if you have high blood pressure. It shot mine through the roof....215/135. Please monitor your BP.
Other then that, it did help the urinary incontinence when I stand up. I did not leak  very much at all.
The headaches associated with the increase blood pressure were unbearable. The dryness in my sinuses was annoying but manageable."


"This one little pill changed my life. I weighed 208lbs wearing a size 18 and had tried everything to lose weight and just couldn't. My doctor whom I was working for suggested taking phentermine and I'm so glad he did. I was losing an average of 1-2 pounds a day. I lost 65 pounds in 2 months! Now wearing a size 8. I have not taken the pill in the last year and I did not gain any weight back. The only side effect I had was dry mouth. I can handle dry mouth for the results I got from this amazing little pill that changed my life."


"My doctor has prescribed this for my severe perennial allergies and hives.  It works well. In addition, it helps reduce the intense back pain I have due to two bad discs."


"I have been suffering horrible chronic pain for the past 15 years, (after being struck by lightning).  If only the doctors had tried this before, it could have saved me numerous hours of horrific pain with seemingly no end in sight. This is the best I've felt in years. Now I can start weaning myself off of the hard narcotics I hope. I would recommend this medication for any one that is suffering from severe neuropathy. What a major difference."


"Also OCD/GAD/Tourettes. I am an addict. I was a Heroin user and have been abstained for nearly 10yrs. When I went to Federal Prison they took me off a combination that a very accredited Mental Health Team put in place. When I arrived I was stable. They DC'd all meds cold turkey esp  60mg paxil and Klonopin. Months later I attempted Suicide on 3 different attempts. Swallowing 200 Tylenol, Cutting a main vein, and hanging myself which were no cry's for help. I had lost the will to live.  They put me on 600 pills/ mo instead of the right drug. I developed Seizures, something I never had. After years of reaching out I accomplished the anomaly, I was put back on. I send this from the ICU with Diverticulitis which is a direct result of Anxiety."


"I was worried that sertraline wouldn't work for me because they say the effects are different for everyone but its actually been going very well. I've been using sertraline for about 4 months now. It did take awhile to notice any changes in my mood but after a month or so I realized how great I was doing. Not only does it help me for my depression but it has helped just as much with my anxiety. I no longer feel overly sensitive/upset about minor things but I haven't lost touch with my emotions. My overall mood has made a 180. Not having bad anxiety has especially made my life so much better. I just feel well balanced and think clearer and more reasonably instead of drowning in my depression."


"The first dose made me extremely dizzy. The second dose had me very dizzy, passing out, and not being able to breathe. After a trip to the emergency room, I've decided I'm not taking this ever again"


"When I first started taking this It was for pre-menopause I was put on Paxel  for hot flashes and night sweats because they were so bad I was having that nearly  50 to 60 hot flashes a day. I now have them about 20 times a day  that's on a good day. I cannot take anything with hormones due to a genetic disorder that I have. "


"Had the Implanon for almost five years, I'm finally going to get it removed. The bleeding has gotten worst. Sometimes I bleed for a whole month and I have picked up so much weight, and these mood swings. I would rather take a chance with a condom or pill and call it a day. I haven't gotten pregnant though."


"My doctor gave me Avelox after Zithromax didn't work. I am on my 3rd day (out of 10) and I have been feeling better everyday. I went online and the reviews for this medicine can be very scary. I am happy to say that the only side effect I have experienced is slight insomnia. Which is frustrating because I am EXHAUSTED at around 7:30pm but I wind up in my bed (awake) until about 12. Frustrating, yes, but the medicine seems to be working so I can't complain too much."


"I think that it helps with the schizoaffective disorder they put me on it 2 yrs ago & now I don't hear the louds as much as I did before."


"I was on this pill for 2 years. I originally got on for acne and just for general protection but I had some negative effects. The first few months I had horrible nausea. I had to take it right before bed and I vomited a few times. After a while my body adjusted and it was perfect for me, until I got pregnant. I took it the same time every night and still managed to get pregnant. After birth I got back on and it's made my skin a living nightmare. I switched to ortho cyclen with hopefully more luck."


"Allegra stops the drainage and the annoying need to clear my throat (post nasal drainage). But I'm dizzy these last couple weeks since I've started it. I have a mild sore throat and headache, which I experienced previously when trying Allegra. I feel tired, nauseous and have had a strange tingling in my legs occur twice this week. I'm thinking Allegra is not a good choice for me, despite its effectiveness."


"Only thing that stopped me from having seizures"


"I have been on Celexa and Paxil about 11 years ago, when my third daughter was born to deal with depression and anxiety (she has severe health issues and disabilities). I had gained a total of 60 pounds so after a year I stopped taking them. Felt too medicated and hated the weight gain. Since then I recently lost my mom and have a lot of stress, very depressed crying all the time, felt I had nothing to look forward to. I went to my psychiatrist and he prescribed Viibryd. I have had a great experience, I am also on Wellbutrin. This cocktail is great for me, I don't feel medicated, very positive feelings, I am very up and don't have mood swings or outbursts of anger. I have a great sex drive, I don't argue with my husband anymore."


"I have been on the shot for almost two months and I absolutely hate it. When I got the shot I was actually due for my period and never got it. I ended up getting my period about 2 weeks ago and have not stopped bleeding. I can not have sex, I can't wear white pants because it's so heavy, I can't go to the bathroom ( number 1 or number 2) because it hurts so bad, I have had horrible cramps, I don't sleep, I'm exhausted all the time, and I am constantly feeling grumpy. At this point I almost feel like nothing is going to help my endometeriosis, I'm 22 years old and due to be married in a month and I can't even have sex because it hurts so bad.... I would not recamend this shot, it's a waste of time and causes false hope."


"I have been on 150XL  and feel horrible. Its almost like I'm tripping on LSD. Foggy head, angry, cranky and very irritable. Heart palpitations and it makes me very lethargic. Dr recommended taking it at night and its a tiny bit better. I want to stick with it to see if it gets me to a better emotional state but don't know if I can last. How long before I start feeling better?"


"My son took Miralax for days with no success. He hates suppositories so I gave him 1 Dulcolax pill around 8pm per directions.  I happened to look online and saw all these horrific reviews. I had a massive panic attack realizing what my son may be facing! Seriously, I had to take a xanax thinking about the horrible pain he was about to experience because of me carelessly giving him this medicine.  He is only 6 and small for his age and adults suffered incredibly from the same dosage he took. I made plans to be ready to take him to the hospital that night if he woke up in agony! Lo and behold, 1 hour later he had a large BM without incident and slept peacefully all night. Fine the next day. Zero pain/side effects. What a relief for us both..."


"Started taking this a month ago, pressure has gone down but feel major anxiety, depression and a feeling of overall doom plus very irritable."


"I'm a female 5'7 225lbs.I took this pill on 12-2-15 at 10:45am with a green smoothie...after an hour I had a burst of energy & felt very awake....after leaving the gym I felt like a could run a marathon..and by the end of the day I drank 116 oz of water...i ate small, and I also had to force myself to eat small healthy meals, because my stomach was growling but my mind and taste buds weren't telling me to eat...this pill definitely curbs your appetite, where u forget to eat, but the dry mouth is a good thing because now I drink lots of water, I add lemons, cucumbers, strawberries or blueberries, in 2 days I lost 5 pounds, my doctor prescribed it for 3 months, I'm hoping to lose 30 pounds."


"I worried myself sick and turned out fine so I thought I'd ease someone else's mind. I got drunk and had unprotected sex with a friend Aug 12 at about 3 AM. Neither of us could remember if he pulled out and pretty sure I was fertile at this time. My last period started July 31st and my cycle is about 22 days. I took Take Action at noon the next day so about 9 hrs later. I had no side effects accept major bloating 2 and 3 days later and nothing at all for another week. I was PANICKING and convinced I was pregnant. My expected period was the 22nd. Long story short, I started spotting the 21st (today) and just got it full on. Came on time! Don't panic yourself, I trust in this pill!! I'm also going to get on birth control."


"I've been on subutex for 5 years. I am now being tappered. I've been tappered 1 whole tablet in less then a month. I am trying my best to take care of my newborn and toddler. I have nobody at ALL that will help me with them so that I can come off. That's making me have panic attack, severe depression, and anxiety.  Does anybody have any helpful advice."


"Helped with my acne but had really bad side effects and caused rosacea like symptoms."


"Okay so Nexplanon is useful in the sense that you're safe from pregnancy etc. But what it's done to me mentally is not pleasant in the slightest. I go through 2 week periods of feeling completely myself and then suddenly drop into these phases of chronic anxiety and exhaustion. I  have intrusive thoughts that do not help my anxiety in the slightest and I just feel so isolated from everyone. My mum had told me that I'm not myself anymore and that's just the hardest thing to hear because I've noticed it too. I'm usually energetic, enthusiastic and bubbly but during these periods I have no motivation. I'm getting it out in a few days, I just need to be myself again, I hate feeling like this and cannot cope any longer."


"Xyzal tablets worked for me as i have urticaria a red itchy  skin condition, so i've been on xyzal for 4 years now, as all the other allergy tablets did'nt work,and had no side effects."


"I have suffered with Fibromyaliga for nearly 25 years. This is the only medication that helped with my pain; helped with sleep and did not make me feel "dopey" all day.  I can't say it will work for everyone, but it has helped me. I have been on it for 20 years.
I take 50Mg at night about an hour before bed. When there are weather changes coming through, my pain gets worse, I take 60Mg."


"I absolutely love trinessa!!!!
I am a 25 year old woman with no kids with previous issues of no period/late period/long period/breakouts all the time & constant bloating almost all the time. Trinessa has cleared my bloating, my acne, and my periods!!!! I absolutely love it!!! But I do remember at first it was the hell, I would have headaches and I would feel like I need to throw up "


"My girlfriend went insane on this pill. Crying all day, everyday and just constant fighting. We got to the point where we couldn't take it anymore and we are at a breaking point. She's gained alot of weight, she got whiney, and doesn't know how to control her anger. I'm making her get off this."


"I am a 40 year old male who since I can remember, would sweat excessively under his arms.  It does not matter if I was stressed, if I was hot, cold, etc.  The worst is when it's 20 degrees outside, I'm freezing, yet my shirt is soaked under my arms.  That drove me nuts.  I used to sit at work, and keep a stash of paper towels at my desk that I would sit under my arms so that the sweat marks would be less visible.  Black was my favorite shirt color, especially on days when I had to present to a room full of people.  I applied Drysol the first night and the next day, 100 percent dry!  I feel like a new person!  I can wear tighter shirts and I can even wear grey!  There was some discomfort after applying, but it's well worth it, in my opinion!"


"I got my Implanon out 2 days ago after having it for the full 3 years , I loved it for the fact I didn't have to worry about it or getting pregnant, downside is I gained about 4stone and I'm only 20! It was so hard to not gain weight, hopefully now it will be easier, no acne thank God. Having a break from all contraception for a few months and get back on track."


"Love them. They help with my back and hip pain so much."


"This was the first birth control pill I tried. I went to my OBGYN with concerns about serious period irregularity. They just threw the pill at me. Within the first month I gained almost 10 pounds. I did have a slight appetite increase but I know most of it was because of this pill. At the time I didn't realize it but once I stopped I realized that I had been acting different on it. And I was also depressed a lot which isn't normal for me. I stayed on this brand for a few months then ultimately switched. As soon as I switched to a different forumla I lost the 10 pounds I gained in just 2 weeks, and I wasn't eating any different. It was crazy. overall, did its job. It regulated my periods and I never got pregnant. But side effects sucked."


"I started this about a week ago and a few days afterwards I slightly felt like a new person. I could enjoy the weekend with my friends without worrying constantly about school or them judging me. Just yesterday the side effects began to kick in and now I feel back to my old self. I'm even moodier and depressed.  I don't stress as much though. I fall asleep very early at night (8-9 compared to never being able to sleep) but now I have been waking up around 4 or 5 and not being able to sleep. I have very vivid dreams. I also have been extremely thirsty.  My doctor said the side effects will even out. I'm excited for them to just so that I can start living normally again. (female)"


"I started taking Zoloft when work stress and other issues got really bad. I had gone to a doctor for cognitive behavioral therapy previously to help with social anxiety, but it didn't seem to work. So I tried going on Zoloft per a GP suggestion. I first started on 50mg, and the side effects (super drowsy during the day, couldn't sleep at night, shakiness) were pretty awful for the first couple of weeks, but I stuck with it out of desperation. I am glad I did. My boyfriend says that he sees a huge change. And I don't feel so very, very awful about everything. I feel like I can see my circular negative thoughts now in a third-party point of view. It hasn't stopped my negative feelings, but it is helping me not to think about them over and over. Taking 100mg."


"A1C was 14.9. Normal insulin program got me down to A1C around 12.

Using new long acting insulin w Invokana, A1C now 7.1.  I split a 300mg pill and take 1/2 per day.  Morning glucose 80's.

I am still nervous as this is a new drug but it certainly is an amazing medication."


"I have had implanon/nexplanon for almost 2 months and will have it removed tomorrow.
I do not recommend this birth control to anyone. Weight gain 6,3 kg, that is bizarre. mood swings (sad/crying/angry) every day for no reason while I'm a very stable person normally. I don't recognize myself and my partner has had a tough time. Alltogether my libido also dropped. The hormone in implanon is the hormone released after ovulation.

I was scared for the incision and scar to take it out,  but this is no life, it gets worse every day. Please think twice before you take this birth control. It sounds great, but the effects on, what i've now read, many women are too negative. Only few women don't have them."


"About a month ago, my gf came over after work and we had some of the best loving I have ever had in three years of activity. She told me to cum in her (we always said that but never did it, it was always more of a joke) so I did the usual and told her I would. A few mins later I just got the urge to finally do it, and I did not tell her until I was halfway done with my load. I have never been so scared in my life. I couldn't help but think of the life changing effect that I could have just caused. She took pill at 9, eight hours after it happened. She did not get side effects other than bad heartburn and head pains. Then got her period a week or two ago (3weeks after). She was on birth control for 2 years prior though. Don't be stupid tho!!"


"The ONLY thing that has worked for my psoriasis, and my Dermatologist won't give it to me anymore."


"I have high functioning autism and have had trouble sleeping all my life. I have been taking prescription sleep aids since I was six. I take Lunesta and while it gets me asleep I wake up 4-5 times a night when I take 2 x 3mg extended release pills. I sleep at least 6-7 hours. I do dream a lot more but before I was having dreams maybe once a month now I have them every night which helps me feel more relaxed and less anxious."


"Doctor started Neupro patch samples for my dad starting at 2 mg for a week then 4 for another and 6mg for the third week. After three days into the 6 mg dosa, my father started sleeping non stop .. slept for 2+ days..lost all his strength, balance, control and became a totally different person. Patch was stopped and he never returned to pre-patch condition. Had severe memory loss and now he is 100% dependent upon us for all activities from getting out of the bed to going to toilet or eating. He always wants to sleep. He showed symptoms of improvement for a couple of days where he could barely walk on his own but that did not last long. Neupro is a DANEGROUS medicine! be extremely careful!! DO NOT increase the dosage on old people. Samples."


"You guys this was rough for me! First time having a yeast infection and  first time trying this product.  I was in agony!

 After the first 5 to 10 minutes of application I burned and itched soooo bad!!

 It took me about an hour behind flushing my girl  with water, washing with a mild glycerin bar soap and finally packing with ice and a washcloth before I experienced relief.

 I would not recommend this product. The cream that you apply on the outside of the vagina seems to provide a measure of comfort for itching but the application insert definitely burns!  I can't do the full seven days. 2:25am 8/24/16"


"There is no doubt in my mind that Chantix made it possible for me to stop smoking. I personally did not suffer any significant side effects. I will say that while the medication reduced the physical cravings almost completely, the emotional aspect of not smoking still existed. There were times I didn't feel life was worth living without smoking because I missed it that much but it was emotional craving. Because of this I still needed 150 percent commitment to quitting."


"THIS STUFF IS GREAT. Everyone's experiance with coldsores is different but with Abreva mine never turns into a scab. AS SOON AS YOU FEEL A TINGLE USE THE CREAM. The faster the better. It's expensive but works. ITS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS "


"I haven't been on this pill long,  but so far I haven't gotten any migraines, which is the main reason I switched to micronor. I was on Gildess (hate that pill) and had HORRIBLE headaches. I haven't gained weight, and haven't bled at all either. The only problem is that I've broken out on my chest, but that's a lot easier to deal with than headaches. Like this pill so far."


"Started tramadol years ago as an add on medicine with Vicoden (Hydrocodone) from a car accident shoulder injury. I stopped taking it because the Vicoden did the job. Then doc told me that new prescribing procedures advised against taking tramadol with vicoden. I switched to Tramadol only 100 mg and it works and lasts longer than Vicoden or even Percocet and I have more energy and I also have chronic depression and anxiety and Tramadol does make that go away. It is an unusual drug and seems to work well for some and not good for others. I suppose some people lack the enzyme to convert or metabolize Tramadol in to the more effective O-desmetthyltramadol also known as (Nucynta) so it doesn't work for them. Well. Have a nice day. No pain."


"I have been using pennsaid topical for a week now on my neck (Facets in my cervical 2-7are narrowing and pinching nerves) ... Great results... Not having any pain.. It is calming down the nerves!!! What a relief!! The only side effect is a slight burning for about the first five minutes after applying... But then it subsides! This is a God send for me!!!"


"Dulls pain from Fibromyalgia including bad headache, lower back and lower neck pain.  Only problem is that BIG PHARMA is making it tough to get.  They want everyone hooked on NSAIDS and Acetaminophen.  The side effects form NSAIDS are far worse than Demerol and similar Opiods.   Using NSAIDS or Acetaminophen causes me serious Blood Pressure increases taking me well in to the danger zone.  Demerol not only has no side effects, at least for me, but actually lowers my BO. If forced to take NSAIDS, I would have to take BP meds which for most part I am allergic to. I take Demerol, as a last resort only when actually needed normally  < 5mth."


"Love this birth control. It's in, I don't have to think about it or worry. It wasn't bad to get put in because I was given a shot to prevent pain. Much less painful than an IUD in my opinion. Will be getting this again in three years! The only negative effect for me was spotting that lasted about a month but has lightened up now. I'm also pretty sure my boobs are bigger."


"I went on Edarbi 40mg for 2 weeks with had up and down spikes,muscle pain in back,neck and joints.DR increased it to 80mg,developed chest pains with the other pains.Ended up in ER,kept over night and given stress test. After stress test ,I developed severe chest pain and EKG showed a problem. Now waiting for angiogram and taken off edarbi,& PUT ON RAMIPRIL 5mg X 2 a day.The angiogram is a 3 to 6week wait!"


"I hadn't been on a plane in 6 years, and I had 2 back to back flights in which I was extremely sick and threw up. I took 2 Bonine for the flight back home and I felt absolutely no motion sickness!!! I'm so thankful I got Bonine, now I don't dread airplanes anymore!"


"Highly recommend chilling the liquids and drinking through a straw. Sips of ginger ale in between. Took at 6 pm started working at 9:15. Triedeverything I could think of to get things going. Hot water with lemon juice finally got things moving."


"I have a condition called endometrial hyperplasia.  Basically, my uterus is thick, my uterine cells produce quickly and cause pain that feeds into my muscle cells during menstruation.  I have had two children and constant pain during my cycles.  My OB suggested Seasonique to get rid of my cycle and end my pain.  After a while my abdominal pain is TOTALLY gone. I also have a much more stable mood. Once you get through one full cycle the spotting decreases and things level out.  I suggest not stopping until you have tried it for at least 3-6 months."


"After trying Zoloft and Lexapro with no success my doctor recommended Wellbutrin. Starting with 10mg daily. I've been taking this medication for 4 weeks now and my depression has not improved and my anxiety has worsened. The only positive review I can give is that I've lost 5 lbs since starting. Today my Dr. advised I should try a different medication rather than increase the dosage because of my anxiety."


"Hi I was having  difficulty swallowing solids and heartburn  was on nexus for 2 1/2 weeks and my symptoms were actually getting worse ...2 days on dexilant 60(mg) and I feel like a miracle has happened ...dexilant is like a miracle pill!!!"


"I loved this birth control at first. I never had any side effects at all and then when I moved, I had to switch brands because my pharmacy didn't carry it. That brand was fine too but then I ended up moving again and got switched back over to this. Ever since the switch (it's been almost 8 months now), I have felt terrible. I get depressed and moody easily and I have completely lost my sex drive. When I do try to have sex with my boyfriend, it takes an extremely long time to get me aroused and we end up having to use lube every time. It's also made me gain about 10 pounds. Basically the only upside I've had to being on this pill is that I've gone from a B to a D. "


"I started taking a very low dose back in the summer of 2014
I was walking 3 miles a day. After about 3 weeks I could no longer walk like I use to due to the pain in my neck! I went for test, Heart, blood work they found nothing
I took myself off Armor in Jan 2015 I started feeling better
I would never take this drug again."


"It works very well for sinus pressure in my inner ears BUT it test positive for amphetamine if they use a dipstick. Do be careful when using it."


"I had been on lo loestrin fe for about 2 years. During the early first year I didn't have many problems, occasional break outs. I had very light periods. By the last year I was never having my period at all, my gyno said it was normal and that's why people like this pill. I didn't mind it, but it scared me that I go nothing no drop of anything AT ALL for about 10 months in a row. I though that cannot be good for my body. Along with that, my acne got the worst it has ever been. My right side of my face broke out in huge pimples side by side. I have never had acne like this. I stopped taking it about 2 weeks ago, considering I was pretty much sure it was due to this birth control. Now I'm struggling to clear my face. Do not take this pill."


"I'm a 18 year old girl suffering from extreme panic attacks and anxiety. It had gotten to the point where I couldn't go through the day with out having a panic attack whilst screaming crying and pleading that I didn't want to live anymore, one night I woke up in pure panic and passed out with a BP of 79/60. I started taking Zoloft and it has completely changed my life and I believe it is saving me. I'm so much better now, it's incredible. I tried 5 different medicines before this, and this is the only one that has shown any improvement."


"I've been on doxycycline antibiotics for 4 weeks and started epiduo 3 weeks prior. My Skin is dramatically worse than it ever was before and I wish I had never gone to my dermatologist regarding my skin. I had minor breakouts on my cheeks but was ungrateful of my otherwise clear skin and now I have terrible acne everywhere. Some say that it will eventually get better and my skin will be glowing... But my skin was not bad enough in the first place to go through this hell for clear skin."


"I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease when I was 16 years old.  I am now 47.  Remicade has been a blessing.  I am one of the very fortunate ones to have no real side effects.  I have been on Remicade for at least 6 years.  I am able to hold down an excellent job and enjoy being a wife and mother.  I am grateful that I have a job with great benefits.  I wish that the cost was not so outrageous so that others could benefit from this medicine.  My son is on Humira and they have a program that decreases the cost significantly.  Even with my insurance, they cover a large portion of my co-pay.  All we can do is hope that the makers of Remicade will offer the same some day."


"Great help."


"I've been taking Effexor XR 37.5 mgs for 8 days & the worse SEs are horrible fatigue & sweats. The 1st day I was light-headed but that went away. I skipped today to see if I got withdrawal symptoms & I did. Tomorrow I will go back on it. If the chronic fatigue continues I will have to figure which med to try next. For my depression to subside I would probably need a higher dosage but I don't think I could handle the SEs. I know for some people it works well at 150 mgs but I could never tolerate that dose."


"So far I hate it...birth control yea because I've been having my period for 3 months. How can I tell if it works if I can't even have sex. 1 min I'm bleeding the next I'm not and when I think I'm in the clear I'm bleeding again. Im extra moody and I'm usually a nice person. I'll give it 1 more month. But this totally not what I signed up for"


"I bless Tirosint, after suffering so many gastrointestinal and allergic problems with Synthroid.  Tirosint has made all these disappear and I feel more normal again,  even in just a week of switching. Cost is the only criteria.  I am told you can get coupons."


"I was diagnosed in 2001.  It wasn't until August 2006 that HIV took its toll and I plummeted to full blown AIDS, literally overnight from feeling great and then waking up the next morning out of nowhere with my first ever thrush.  It later progressed to esophageal thrush, liver decline from a very high viral load, and shingles.  With a viral load of 1.5 million and low CD4's, I was gravely ill and had to take a 6 month leave of absence from work to go through weekly physicals.  I was given Atripla. Within 3 weeks infections were gone, Viral Load undetectable, and 7 years later I'm in perfect health. Side effects only lasted the first few days (drowsiness). Vivid dreams lasted 5 years, but are gone.  Two blips in 7 years, and perfect adherence."


"Good for my mood swings. Evens me out mentally. Anxiety decrease.

Decrease of libido 90%"


"Omg all my life I have been small and wanted to gain weight  but never could. I'm 5'4 was 123pounds before the medicine not to bad for my height. So one day I went to my Dr and we talked about me having loss of appetite so she recommended I take  periactin to help me with my appetite and wow guys I have gained  literally 10 pounds in two weeks. I'm in my third week I'm 137 and I love it. This medication is defiantly for anyone trying to gain weight."


"I've been on all different birth controls, the patch, shot, Yaz and the only one that works is Aviane. I have not gained weight, light and painless periods, same sex drive, not moody no zits no anything! Definitely a good birth control."


"I just had my second Mirena inserted after 5 years. Before starting with it, I was always battling low iron (once my ferritin level was 4). After using the Mirena, my period became super-light, and now my ferritin level is over 80. The second time around, the insert was a lot more painful. The doc said that it tends to be more painful as you get older (I'm 46). I really have not had any side effects that I've noticed with the Mirena. Not sure if I'll need it again, since I'll be 51 in five years."


"I developed a chronic pain syndrome post chole  25 year ago. My pain waxed and wained. Pain medication did nothing. The only thing that helped  a little was muscle relaxants. My doctor suggested cymbalta. The effect was immediate. I just thought I was having a good week. I took 30 mg daily (lowest dose). The pain never returned. I still have muscle stiffness but the pain associated with it is gone. I have an arthritic thumb from an injury that still causes me pain. So for arthritic pain it does not seem to help. All I can say is give it a try. The effects for me were immediate."


"It certainly keeps it from being worse but still doesn't nip it totally in the bud no matter how soon you take it.  I'm grateful this last bout didn't end up on the skin, but even though I took it within minutes of feeling just the tingling, it still sprouted. Could have been worse I guess. I am thankful I had it in stock."


"I took Requip in 2006 and it worked great. But now in 2013 I needed it again, except this time it made everything worse. "


"I had menisectomy back in 2011, after 2 years I started having bad pain under my knee cap and my lateral side of my knee. Doctor prescribed me Norco 5mg it had little effect so he switched to Percocet 5mg, feels good to sleep at night."


"For many years, I had no problems falling asleep but after 4 hours would wake again, wide awake, mind racing, etc. I finally asked my doctor to prescribe Ambien and paid extra to get it. It was worth every penny. I found a whole tablet taken at bedtime still only let me sleep 4-5 hours. I had been told I might need to take another tablet if I woke too early, but didn't want to do that. So now, I don't take Ambien at night when I go to sleep. I take 1/2 of a 5 mg tablet when I wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. It works like a charm; I sleep another three or four hours. For me, 2.5 mg works just as well as 5 mg. Great sleep and I've never had sleep amnesia."


"This is by far and wide the best treatment for coughing. The worse your cough is, the fewer "high" feelings you will have. I don't mind the hazy feeling all opioids tend to give off, so this is an added benefit for me. The meds help relax your entire body. It can be difficult to sleep on it"


"I got my implanon in December of last year, and I had no problems with getting it put in. It was painless and I thought that this one was going to work. I had no problems with it until late February, 2 months latter. When period started later and continued until 2 weeks ago, I had been on a constant period months straight. It was horribly painful and I cannot wait till I get it out in a year and a half."


"I had Mirena put in after my second child. I don't notice any of the side effects listed. The only thing I am worried about is anxiety. I've been dealing with anxiety since what seems like when I had it put in. My periods are extremely light (panty liners only) but last more days than before having Mirena."


"Well, I really am satisfied w/this medicine.  I take it combo w/my pain medication.  I was in a car accident two years ago and aside from the pain meds helping me w/pain, this is what actually allows the muscles themselves able to relax so I can sleep better.  The one I really can't stand is 'flexeril".  I don't what the deal is w/that because of anything, it makes ALL of my extremeties "jump"...like restless leg, but restless EVERYWHERE...(the legs too). The big problem is actually I got a new pain dr., but he only believes in one muscle relaxer and that's baclofen, which does ansolutely NOTHING.  His intern told me that I could take two at a time, and still nothing. "


"I found that when I take Advil or aspirin with Ultram they seem to make each other more potent. Never take all three together though."


"I recently started taking this birth control 4 days ago & so far, so good! I was put on it to regulate my periods because they were really weird from being on the Depo shot. I have been a little bloated and my body does seem a tad bit sore every other day though, but I think that's just my body getting used to it! I am 16 years old and I do have mild-severe acne from a hormonal imbalance, so hopefully with proper dieting & this medication it will clear up in no time fingers crossed."


"Abilify has truly changed my life. Before I started taking it I was crying every day for hours a day, I felt a sadness for what seemed like no reason, and it just would not go away. I started with 2.5mg and felt no change but at 5mg I felt a drastic improvement in my mood. I take it in addition to Adderall XR for ADHD. I was taking Vistaril for my anxiety but that doesn't do anything but make you ridiculously tired, so I just got Klonopin, going to give that a try. My only drawback to Abilify is that for me it makes me very tired so I take it at night."


"I was prescribed this after gallbladder surgery. It works really well, although I feel kinda loopy on it."


"I have started taking phentermine exactly 20 days ago and so far lost 11.6 pounds. I haven't really exercised though. I have a newborn and go to school part time so I consider myself pretty occupied. I try to eat healthy and eat very small portions about twice a day. My goal is to lose 30 pounds. 28 more to go. Wish you all luck."


"I am a 61 yr old, 5'3" female that started the 2 week trial on April 15, 2014 at 237 pounds. If I had any initial side effects I don't recall them, so I must have had none or they were too mild to even mention. I don't have any side effects now which is a little over 3 months since I started.  I lost 10 pounds during the 2 week (free) trial so I was impressed and definitely ready to continue! I got a $75/month card (credit) from the pill company so that was a plus. I still have to pay $163/mth. My insurance does not cover it. They would rather pay for my cholesterol and blood pressure meds. So as of today, July 18, 2014, I have gone from 237 to 210lbs. Not too bad with 27 pounds gone with no side effects and no exercise. Loving the results!"


"I've been on Saxenda for weight loss for one month today. I've lost 14 pounds. I have very little appetite and feel satiated quickly. My cravings are gone. I average 1200 calories a day without ever feeling uncomfortably hungry. This is all a complete 180 for me. I exercise 5 times per week pretty intensely but did so before the medication. I did experience some of the gastro side effects but they were all manageable. I see no reason to not reach my goal of losing another 44 pounds, hopefully before the end of the year."


"40 yr old female. 5'3" Started on 37.5 mg of phentermine, July 9th. Starting weight was 200.4. Today is July 11th and I weigh, 194.6. I'm sure its water weight, but I'm still losing. Yay! Haven't been able to get much sleep since being on it, and dry mouth, hence the water increase. Don't feel hungry, but I do eat. I'm curious as to how much more I will be able to lose. First goal weight is, 170. Second goal is 150."


"I have taken pretty much every type of medication for ADHD. Dextroamphetamine, by far, works best for me. While Adderall contains dextroamphetamine, the l-amphetamine and it gives me very bad anxiety.

Dextroamphetamine helps me focus without causing extra anxiety, and I prefer the instant release, which allows me to fall asleep. Ritalin caused anxiety even worse than Adderall did.

One thing I recommend is to take a day or two off every week or so. If not, your tolerance might build up and you might find the medication is not working. Also, you need to learn to pay attention to your bodies other signals telling you went to eat. You probably will not feel hungry and your stomach. This does not mean you don't need food, however."


"Was very disappointed with the opana 10E round peach pill. They did not help my pain at all. I have taken a 40 mg. before and they worked wonders. I took over my doctors dosage instructions after a while because it was not helping and I was in so much pain after my surgery. I ended up taking 5 within an hour and was still in pain and sick as a dog. So I just stopped taking them all together as they are very addictive and did NOT wont any addictions especially sense they were useless. Very DISAPPOINTED!"


"This has been one of the worst medications for allergies that I have ever taken. I took it around 5am in the morning and right now It's 6:45 pm.  My nose has been draining since I took this medication and I'm more stuffed now than I've ever been.  My eyes are watery and I'm sneezing something terrible. I do not recommend this medication. Save your money and try something else.  By the way this was my 2nd time trying it just to see if I would have the same symptoms and I did."


"I suffered from General Anxiety Disorder since childhood and this medication save my life. I feel calm and collected, and my family and friends say it's nice to see me smile again. I went from being nervous and anxious about everything to relaxed and able to go back out in my community again."


"I am so scared "


"I have been on Nuva ring for quite a few years I though it was great and loved that I didn't have to think about taking a pill but as the years have went by I'm noticing I'm not myself still getting chest pain and leg pain tired all the time no patience, no libido very emotional not sure what to do. I don't do well with hormones but this ring is giving me UTI's and yeast inventions - I hate birth control"


"This is great  stuff. I've had vertigo for 48 years and this works better than the prescription medicine."


"I have been taking Lialda for9 months now for my microscopic colitis and it is working! I take 3 pills a day with zero side effects. I only have flare ups if I eat something on my no-no list. My doctor told me I could come off the medication if I want to as it is the type that will cause remission but I am to afraid to go back to the pain of my colitis so I decided to remain taking it. The only problem with this medication is that it is very expensive."


"If you have trouble staying asleep, give Doxepin a try.  It has worked wonders for me.  I've experienced no side effects and it is non-addictive. The is often dispensed under the name Silenor in 3 and 6 mg doses.  "


"Worked good for first 3 days.  Then got severe side effects, breathing problems, vomiting, shaking."


"I have been on this pill for only two weeks now.  I absolutely can not get full and I want to eat everything.  Before I got back on the pill I had been losing weight and could control my eating, but now I can't get enough.  I have gained 4lbs in just 2 weeks.  My mood is terrible so far, unhappy and tearful most of the time.  I had taken this birth control years ago but I don't remember having any problem then."


"This medication changed my life! I started taking it at age 72. Before then, I thought I was going to have to be housebound, never traveling, never shopping, etc. I started taking the smaller dose and it is working just fine. My only side effect is dry mouth at night but discovered that if I wake up with it, I suck on an ACT lozenge, which immediately alleviates the problem.  I did discover through reading the info on this page that it is probably the cause of mild indigestion I've had, probably starting about the time I started taking Vesicare, but I take a Zantac a day and am fine. Oh, the medication started working almost immediately.

I would hate to be without my Vesicare, even though it is quite expensive. But it's worth every penny."


"My wife tried to find out from Lourdes Hospital "How much are these injections? " Insurance billing claimed "Oh your Blue Cross covers it!" Had to get 3 injections, once a week for 3 weeks. Injections weren't painful or helpful. Have patiently waited, for Dr said sometimes it takes awhile. No IMPROVEMENT,  In fact knee is WORSE. But worst pain was the C O S T!!! Could have gotten 1 SYMVASTIN injection, that cost my wife $1,200 instead of 3 injections of the miracle drug SUPRATZ for ,get this .....$6,600 !!! That's right people $2,200 an injection & my knee is so very very MESSED UP!"


"10 out of 10 ,Lyrics "


"This medication worked ok I guess but the side effects kept me from driving and sometimes even walking as it seemed my equilibrium was off when I took it. I also felt woozy and just weird. I need a muscle relaxer twice a day (one soon as I wake up bc I'm as stiff as a board and another when I'm going to bed as I'm sore from working all day. I can't take this one during the day."


"Levaquin knocked my bacterial or sinus infection out in 20 days.  I was having headaches every morning for months and not sleeping well.  This really stopped my infection.  I could tell that the infection was busting up because my headaches stopped and my sleep improved significantly.  The headaches were like something squeezing on my brain that would not allow me to think well most of the day.  I was not sleeping well at night and tired most of the day.  This made all the difference and has put me back to normal.  There is a tremendous difference in my daily work, alert, awake, and sleeping performance after the treatment cleared up my infection.  "


"It smells a lot better than it tastes. The taste is just horrible, but I managed to get it down along with the recommended water. Drinking the Suprep is the worst part of it."


"FOR ANXIETY - I've been on 30mg Celexa for years and am switching to Viibryd to try to get past the libido issues (i.e. lack thereof).  I was pretty nervous after reading all the reviews of side effects.  I started on 5mg (still on 30mg Celexa) with a bagel and cream cheese -- no side effects!

It's weird to say this about an SSRI, but I almost immediately noticed a change in my anxiety.  Like, within a day.  I no longer am living "in the future," very much more "in the moment."  It's kind of bizarre.  So far so good!

Only side effect so far:  Foggy feeling the first day, but has improved since then."


"I just got my skyla inserted today. Everything went well. My doctor prescribed me two Xanax to calm my nerves and told me to take 600mg of Motrin. When I got there they  used novacaine to numb the area and inserted it. Not sure all the details because I told her not to talk me through it. The whole thing lasted 2 minutes and I was out the door. So far minimal cramping and I was just slightly dizzy after it. I have a low pain tolerance so I was nervous but if you are nervous too ask to be prescribed an anti anxiety drug before and then throw out whatever you don't use. The procedure should not be painful and make sure you just talk throughly to your docs about any questions you have no matter what it really calmed my nerves doing so."


"Trouble concentrating and some memory problems"


"Took for low back muscle spasm. 10 MG 3 times a day. Was helpful. About 2 hours after taking dose became drowsy."


"It is the only medication that controls my period. I am 50 years young and my period should have stopped. After trying many things I am taking this even though I can no longer have children. I have been on it for a year and have gained some weight but I don't know if that is the pill. I exercise regularly and eat healthy. I would recommend anyone to try it."


"I was reluctant to take this medication but essentially had no choice when faced with the possibility of losing my kidneys. It saved my kidneys and also helped greatly with my other SLE symptoms (joint pain, neuropathy and lung issues to name a few). I also can't tolerate steroids, so luckily CellCept combined with Plaquenil has kept things under control without having to add Prednisone in the mix. I did experience some issues with dizziness, hair loss and insomnia, but they have tapered off after being on it for a year now; still have problems sleeping at times though and am now experiencing some anxiety. I'm also concerned about the long term effects ie. lymphoma risks and it's very expensive, but overall it saved my life."


"I only took this drug for 4 days because the side effects for me were too much. The first day I was extremely restless. I woke up having a panic attack which has never happened to me before. Though I will say this one may be coincidence. Day two I noticed a drop in my visual acuity. It wasn't too bothersome this day. But on day three it had declined in my right eye to the point where I had difficulty reading. When I closed my right eye everything seemed normal but when I closed my left eye everything was extremely blurry. I've never had vision problems before and this was starting to effect my work. My eyes are very dry as well. Been off for four days and nothing's changed but I expect that to take time."


"The guy who posted earlier said it well.  I used a very high dose of alprazolam for 2 years.  Baclofen saved me time and pain from Alprazolam withdrawal.

Not sure why Xanax withdrawal treatments aren't incorporating Baclofen."


"I have been on trulicity for about 6-7 weeks. It has been like a miracle drug for my 30 years of type 2 diabetes.  My aic went from 8.8 to 6.9 almost overnight. I guess this is why I seem to get full so easy. I wish I could have an occasional bout of diarrhea because I suffer from constipation so badly. Other than the feeling like something like a brick is in my stomach it's been wonderful and to be honest I have had a full feeling in my stomach for a long time it's just that now it's a little more intense. I say try it."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"When I first started taking Beyaz it was great. I had no problems but towards the end of the cycle I had terrible attitude, was very emotional, nauseous and too many headaches. Once my period was gone it came back a day after and it was light to medium. Very bad cramps. My appetite increased a lot more when I started. But everyone's body is different and would react different to the pills."


"I am an 18 year old, sexually active female. I just wanted to start off saying that birth control will act differently to each body. After reading these reviews, I became afraid to get it since weight gain, acne, mood swings, etc. took over for many people. My experience, I got the nexplanon two days before I was supposed to get my period (04/21/15). The procedure didn't hurt, only a bit of pressure and discomfort. I did not get my period till 8 days later after getting it inserted (normal as the nexplanon does make bleeding irregular), but I had my period only for 4 days like I usually do. So far, I have had no side effects which I'm grateful for. I really do like this as I do not have to worry about anything. :)"


"My 15 year-old son has narcolepsy. Ritalin gave him nightmares, which he rarely had, and kept him awake half the night. Discontinued after 11 days."


"Prescribed by our doctor to treat my 3-year-old's 3rd degree burn on her forearm.  This cream is wonderful!  It is healing the burn well.  (Our local grocery store neglected to put the protective cover around their rotissirie chicken stand, exposing the hot metal edge.  Our daughter burned her forearm when she walked past the stand.)

Note the warning that it is a Sulfa drug.  Thank heavens I looked it up!  I'm allergic to Sulfa.  If I had not researched it, I would have applied it with my bare hands, causing a deadly reaction to myself!"


"I switched from Lo loestrin fe to microgestin fe 1/20 since my new insurance did not cover Lo loestrin. After being on the med for only 2 months, I began to get unusual headaches,  unusual cramping, and constant spotting.

One day, I had blurry vision and my mom suggested I check my blood pressure with her "at home blood pressure kit." My blood pressure was 140/89 !! I dont have a history of high blood pressure and it does not run in my family. I eat fairly healthy and I am 28 yrs old , 125 pounds, 5'2.

I read my microgestrin packet which said that it may raise your blood pressure. I immediately stopped the medication. After about 4 weeks, my blood pressure was back to normal.

Keep an eye on your blood pressure when using this medication"


"I got my first shot 6 weeks after delivery. I didn't have a period for a while but when I did come on I bled non stop. I am still bleeding today which will make it 15 days. Although my bleeding has been light I am still adapting to being on my period everyday. I was told that I could bleed for up to 3 months. I am just ready for this to be done and over with. But on the pro side...my cramps have lessened which is a good thing considering I usually have a hard time when it's that time of the month."


"Lamictal has changed my life.  I started on Lamictal 2 1/2 months ago and I can't believe the clarity and happiness in my day to day life.  For years, I have been on various antidepressants. I had never been to a specialist, only my primary care physician to discuss the problem. I got to a point when I couldn't remember when I was happy and felt normal.  I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, but no mention of Bi Polar.  My severe mood swings were affecting everything in my life. My relationship with my husband, kids, my lack of motivation.  I felt like there was a constant cloud over my head, when I had nothing to be depressed about. The Psychiatrist I went to diagnosed me with Bipolar and started the Lamical."


"I took Apri for 2 years. I have experienced extreme bloating (went for 112lbs to 118 lbs just of retained water). Blurry vision in my left eye, tiredness, chest pain sometimes, could not drink any alcohol it would make my bloating worse. I changed to Yaz 2 weeks ago and I feel like a brand new person. No more bloating, I feel great!"


"It didn't work it gave me a cold and headaches and severe cough and a yeast infection, it's day 7 of 10 and I have NO RELEIF. I do not recommend this. Maybe it just doesn't work for me I don't know. I don't think I'd ever use it again."


"Worst drug to alter your mind and make you crazy. Severely depressed and suicidal"


"I went to my internal medicine doctor on June 10. Told her about my right shoulder hurting - she gave me Flexeril and naproxen together - they work for my condition: rotator cuff. I've taken Flexeril in the past for muscle spasms. The only side effect with it is dry mouth.  I don't have any side effects with naproxen."


"I'm a 47 year old type 2 diabetic for over 20 years. Have been on most insulin’s after the pills stopped working for me. Then dropped a huge amount of weight so I was taken off all meds. Now gained 45lb and A1C in the 10’s. In the past two years. I’ve tried Januvia, not a lot of side effects but didn’t lower my sugars. So I was put on Invokana. Worked good for maybe two months on lowering my sugars but the side effects were quite bothersome. Especially the longer I was on it. Yeast infections bad. Up at night going to the bathroom because of the way the med works, extremely tired, thirsty,dehydration issues if you don’t drink enough and the recent gas,bloating,constipation issues. I couldn’t get enough carbs with my cravings and wt gain! Off the Med and on to Victoza!"


"I began this birth control in January of 2015 (after about 10 months of being off BC). I moved so I got a new doctor who prescribed Junel Fe 1/20. I had never had an issue with BC before so I never thought this pill would put me on the downward spiral that it did.
Let me state that it took me 10 months to realize this pill was to blame because I lived with my in laws while purchasing a home and planning a wedding...stress was becoming a close relative. But this pill gave me back acne, weight gain, CHIN HAIR, migraines, cyst on my breast, no sex drive at all, and mood swings so bad that suicide or divorce would cross my mind. Worst pill ever. Strongly advise against"


"I do not have a colon anymore (surgically removed due to pre-cancerous condition).  I have had problems with chronic diarrhea since. Was recently prescribed Lomotil after a particularly severe bout of diarrhea which landed me in the hospital. Lomotil works great, no unpleasant side effects for me. careful to use only as much as needed though as too much might make you constipated which is why I'm giving it an  8/10. Otherwise, it's a lifesaver. I have been able to resume my regular life, no longer being a prisoner in my home due to fear of going out and not being able to get to a bathroom quickly enough."


"Vicodin works great for migraines. I have had migraines for over 20 years and Vicodin and Lorcet Plus are miracle medicines. I can function at work and at home.
I don't miss work, it does it's job of killing a migraine that could last me for days. I have tried everything to treat migraine pain and I can tell you that this medicine is wonderful. Love, love love."


"I have recently begun taking Contrave.  I am looking to loose 10 to 15 pounds.  It's not much to loose but to maintain it is the problem.  I've probably lost the same 10 lbs, over and over again.  My Dr. said that's the beauty of contrave, it helps in maintenance.  Day 3 into the program (1pill in the AM) I have begun to notice a decrease in the desire to eat. I tend to eat when I'm bored and that's my issue.  I have none of the side effects which so many mention. I will stick to my daily exercise, lots of water and healthy eating and hopefully begin seeing more positive results by the end of the week."


"As a UC sufferer Azathioprine caused Pancreatitis after three months - I had to stop using it immediately."


"Found myself getting up 4-8 times a day and needing the toilet alot during the day. First prescribed 5mg and it done absolutely nothing so the doctor uped them to 10mg and still nothing except constipation. So ive stopped them and will just have to deal with it."


"Started using Lunesta last night. First all nights sleep last night. This is saving my life by giving me my rest."


"Helps some of the symptoms of mania and psychosis or hearing voices and such. Also helps with sleep which helps greatly when you are bipolar and in a manic and restless state. Overall I would have to say this medicine has helped the most of ALL the other medicines I have had to try so far."


"Flonase works so good! I've been on it for about a week now, and I'm noticing fast improvements. Around the 4th day, my sinus headaches were slim to none, my watery right eye stopped, and I didn't sneeze 10 times a day. No side effects. I am still a little stuffed up.....but that's what sinus tea is for! Thank you Flonase!"


"I really like this birth control. I was originally on a different brand of the pill and it made me bloated and I alway felt slugish. I switched to the nuva ring which was not ideal for intercourse so back to my OB I went. I love Lessina no weight gain, no bloating, and minimal cramping during period. I did have side affect of acne but I changed my face wash and it cleared right up. I also swear it increases your sex drive but it could just be me."


"I am a 64 year old male and have been using Rythmol since January 05. I started with the standard Rythmol 150mg 3 times a day. This was inconvenient so my doctor put me on Rythmol SR 225mg twice a day and I have been on this regimen for three years with absolutely no side effects and no recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation.
My concern is long term effect. I am at 4 1/2 years on Rythmol and see one person on this site with 13 years. I would like ot know if there are any other long term users and what their results are. Do I need to try ablation?"


"Definitely a lot less overall body pain. A little dizzy and sleep but benefits outweigh the side effects."


"I took birth control religiously from age 14-24. got pregnant at 24. ( wasn't taking my pills like I should) now my son is 2 and I recently got back on birth control. opted for the ortho tri cyclin bc that's what I had always used for years. it's day six and I am so sick I'm not taking another one. tried it at morning first (even with eating) sick as a dog. tried it before bed, woke up sick. not sure if it is too much for me, or where I haven't been on it in so long, or where it's not fully in my system. but I have made up my Mind I would rather bleed like a stuffed pig than to feel sick like this. horrible for me."


"Awful pill.  I threw away this month's pack and I am only on week 2. My face broke out like CRAZY and I became so irritable I wanted to put my fist through the wall constantly.  I started having really bad depressive thoughts and I gained weight as well.  Oh yeah, and I have no sex drive at all.  Don't take this pill.  I'm getting an IUD."


"I'm 17 years old. I had the Nexplanon inserted 1 year ago.  I was getting the Depo shots for 2 years before I got the implant because I had very heavy and long periods. I got sick of going in every month for a shot so I figured getting the implant that lasts 3 years would be perfect and I wouldn't have to worry about getting pregnant. I haven't had a period since I got the implant, no spotting or any bleeding at all. I didn't gain any weight from it. Its not common for people to gain weight from it. But if you do eat healthy and exercise and you should be fine."


"I have written 2 reviews about hair loss suffered because of this drug. This website had posted the second review I wrote but it has since been taken down. Sounds like this website is getting paid by drug companies to skew the results. NOT HAPPY! Obviously you're not going to post this. But you are ruining your own reputation by only posting certain reviews. It's obvious to the public."


"My psychiatrist prescribes me 15 Xanax 0.5mg per month. I have generalized anxiety disorder and depression, and am on other meds for that; Xanax is only for extra-stressful situations. It is incredibly effective. Within minutes of taking it, I am much calmer. I notice no side effects whatsoever."


"Loved this method of birth control at first. Used it for about 9 months took it out for two weeks and slowly fell into a depression (never been depressed in life). I have put it back in and hopefully will go back to normal until I can find a way to slowly remove the hormones from my body with out going cold turkey. It was great not having to remember to take a pill everyday but the side effects just aren't worth it to me. "


"This is the real deal.  I was smoking a gram a day of heroin for about a year. I had tried to quit cold turkey- didn't work. I didn't even last two days before I went out again. Then I was prescribed other medicines to help with the detox. I gave these up after three days of insomnia and being anxious and depressed. Finally I tried Suboxone and it made all the difference in the world. I was super cold the first two days, but on day three I woke up feeling great. I've been on one 8mg pill a day for about three weeks now and I feel better than I have in years. Even people who don't know I was a junkie have commented on how much better I look. The best part is I have no cravings and I have money again."


"Getting a lot of blisters on my top of my hands stop using this for a while and blisters disappear"


"I used to smoke 40-60 cigarettes per day. I quit in 2008 using Chantix. I deserve a life smoke free. Independant and smelling good."


"Only take brand-name Trileptal.  Use of generic, oxcarbazepine resulted in stomach distress - gastritis"


"Prior to starting Escitalopram I had been experiencing severe depression with suicidal ideation and went into the hospital to get help.  While I was there they put me on Escitalopram 10 mg 1x/day.  When I first started it I felt pretty doped up but I noticed I was starting to feel better not crying all the time and the thoughts to harm myself where starting to go away and now after 2 months of being on Lexapro I feel like a new person.  I feel better than I've ever felt in my life.  I have energy to do things I enjoy and no fear to try new things.  I have a confidence I haven't felt before and an extremely positive outlook on life, I'm almost too happy.  My only regrets is that I didn't go on it sooner."


"I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember ( I am 35 ) . I have taken every weight loss pill you can think of !! My starting weight today Feb 15 2017 is 194 and I'm 4'11 ! Today is my first day on Belviq , I take 1 pill twice a day . Side effects : chills , metal taste on my tongue and a slight headache . When I ate lunch today I could only eat half of my food , and I'm not starving when I get off work like usual . I must also mention that I am pms'ing , and usually I'm eating every thing pasta and fried related , but I'm not craving it . From reading the reviews I was worried about not having energy to workout , but I had the energy ! What I have also done is I have starting B12 injections. I will report my weight soon !"


"It has helped a lot. Does turn my urine a neon orange. I had taken it before now about 3 years ago without any other side effects besides neon Orange urine, but this time my vision went very blurry, very quickly and scared me a lot. Then I started reading other people's reviews on it and now I understand its normal and nothing for me to freak out over. This is a great medicine either way."


"I have tried tons of pain medicines but Nucynta proved to be very effective.  I have had chronic pain for over 25 yrs and Nucynta has proven to be one medicine that actually helps with some side effects but I can handle them. Nucynta was easier on my stomach than Oxycontin."


"I finally feel relived that I have control over my craving to drink everyday.  I am really happy that I can go into a bar and hang out with my friends and not drink.  I am from WI and have basically been drinking since 15.  I spent 27 years in the Navy and drank like a sailor.  I was a Navy pilot and it was definitely part of the culture.  I have been a binge drinker since the beginning.  Now I am a businessman and always under constant pressure.  Business dinners all the time and a large expense account do not help.  I found myself self medicating with alcohol everyday.  Just started Antabuse two weeks ago and now I feel in control.  Naltrexone was a joke.  I could power through that.  It was really hard to get prescribed.  No side effects"


"Took away my pain. Couldn't walk, pain in heel and joints."


"Just taken my third dose of methotrexate this week (upped to 20mg after 2 weeks on 10mg)....take folic acid 5mg 3  x week. So far side effects have been manageable. Not sure if it's the medication or the steroid injections but I am starting to feel like my old self again. No swelling and little pain now so am now able to do the things I used to take for granted again. Feel hopeful about this medicine."


"I was prescribed Naproxen 500mg for my bursitis behind my knees in both legs. I am a college athlete and was having many problems performing at the necessary level with the pain in my legs--Naproxen helped immensely. Felt very nauseous if I did not take this medication on a full stomach!"


"I used this birth control several times. I have tried others, the shot, Alesse, etc. But in comparison, 777 is my favorite. My periods were shorter, lighter, minimal to no cramping, no weight gain, no crazy mood changes, and the birth control was stable, no spotting. It was great. I am going to talk to my doctor about getting back on it. I only stopped to try for one more baby, but am so over that idea."


"Trazodone works well for my insomnia. I take a low dose. 25 to 50 mgs before bedtime. This medication works well with a light snack since it helps the medication work better. My only complaint is that I feel a a little hungover the next day but that is common with any medication for sleep. I seem to sleep a lot better now and don't seem to struggle as much to get asleep."


"Everyday I'm embarrassed because I have severe body acne. I get acne on my arms, shoulders and back - its not attractive on a female. I have struggled with this problem since I was a child. I've spent lots of money on products that would work temporarily and then reverse effect and make my breakouts worse. I have been using this cream for almost 3 weeks, and already everything is clearing up fast. I am extremely happy with this product that i would recommend it to ANYONE!!!!! I can finally have higher self esteem and not be the mom in a t-shirt going swimming. LOVE IT!!!!! 10's all the way across the board"


"I have taken tramadol for a yr now it still helps with the pain but lately when I take them it makes my back pain worse. I take 50mg twice a day.  Plz help what do I do."


"I have been on Celexa for 2 years now.  It worked great for the first year or so until I realized that I started not being able to remember anything.  I am in college and I have also started having a hard time concentrating."


"HORRIBLE! It caused severe angioedema, very heavy uncomfortable periods and when they pulled it out it was corroded. DO NOT EVER GET ONE! Read the package inserts!!! If I could rate less than 1, I would."


"I tapered up to 1200mg / day, starting in September of 2015.   I have noted some stabilizing of My night restless leg syndrome and a near total absence of stabbing pains in the lower legs that would occur at intervals.  I don't note adverse side effects; just happy my sciatic nerve pain has markedly decreased in the process.  Some constipation noted at first, but that has resolved.  I've had bladder incontinence for some time and that continues as I had no expectation of that being altered by neurontin.  Life goes on and I'm functioning slower now, but still get out."


"I have been on the shot since December 4th 2014, have had a period from January 9th 2015 to the present."


"I did not like this. I was given this for anxiety and it didnt help at all. I tried it for a month and felt no difference."


"I've been on Hysingla for two months now 20g then 30mg and I'm starting 40mg tomorrow so far nothing is happening it isn't working at all I'll update in two weeks on how the 40s work I am extremely intolerant to opioids Percocet, Vicodin, oxycodone, oxycontin etc etc after 4 to 5 days I begin throwing up violently but I haven't had issues with this med so far."


"I was misdiagnosed, and wrongly put on this medicine.  It causes psychosis in individuals inappropriately put on it.  It took me ten years to find doctors who could say this was a possibility."


"I started taking Invokana about 2 weeks or so ago.  I have been Type 2 diabetes for 15 years.  Last year I had to start insulin in addition to the metformin ER and glimiperide I have been taking.  I have been trying desperately to lose weight too.  My doc let me go on phentermine 3 months ago, and I lost 12 lbs in 3 months.  I needed to lose 35-40 more.  My last A1C was 6.9, up from 6.6 the 3 months preceding.  So, doc told me about this new medicine.  She stopped my glimiperide and I still take 2000mg metformin ER (split am/pm) and she cut my insulin to 11 units am, 20units pm.  My sugars have gone up, fasting is now between 124-150 (whereas before they were 90-120), and 2 hrs after I'm around 178. "


"Took away my ear infection but gave me. Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, heart palpitations, anxiety, shortness of breath, diarrhea, dizziness, etc... So not worth it. I was less sick before starting this medicine."


"Age 67, started Cialis 5mg daily 2 months ago for prostate issues (weak stream, getting up at night to pee) but didn't feel I needed it for erections.  Now able to pee across the length of the bathtub and sleeping through the night (if I don't have a beer with dinner).  Most surprising is how  well it works for my erections!"


"I was given this by urgent care to treat my strep throat. The first day of taking this I was perfectly fine... day 2 I started having severe diarrhea I mean it is coming out all day long like a faucet just so much diarrhea. I literally can not stop pooping. It's day 3 and I think I am going to have to call the DR back... the infection is leaving already which is amazing and it is an amazing drug other than the AWFUL diarrhea. I am eating yogurt too."


"So far I have been On Adipex for 4 days now and I lost 5lbs. I was 299lbs now I am 294lbs. Drinking tons of water and eating plenty of salads, I'm not really exercising but I do go out and walk a lot. I was also on Apidex APRIL of 2011 to June 2011 and lost 30lbs and since my body was healthier I ended up pregnant. Now I am back on it again showing great progress! Good luck everyone!"


"This birth control has been such a great thing! I am acne prone and have broke out badly on every pill/ring I have taken before Lyza. This has made my skin so clear and smooth and has really helped my confidence. It also has stabilized my moods versus other birth control methods. The only downside is occasional spotting but my overall period is much lighter with little to no side effects. Different methods work for different people but if you have skin problems and haven't found a solution yet, try this!"


"Hands and feet swelled.  Feet swelled from wearing a size 7 shoe, needed to wear a size 8.5 until the swelling dissipated. I only had one session of Taxotere before my oncologist stopped this treatment. I believe that there were about 5 sessions scheduled before I experienced these side effects. I received it in Spring of 2005!"


"I am on my 2nd day using Abreva®, so far so good. I like how it numbs the area and stops the Itching. Very Relieving! In regards to "quicker healing", It has helped in avoiding a larger breakout. My breakout isn't as big and nasty as it gets without treatment so I am pleased so far, some things work different for others so I can only speak for myself but it never hurts to try!"


"What a waste of time and money!  Are the contributors on this site really patients and not Genentech plants?  No help with asthma, phlegm after 5 shots at $3000 each, big pharma just printing money with these drugs."


"I liked it more than valproate since it doesn't affect your weight."


"I have been fighting hep c for six years first when I was 51 I almost died from interforon and riboviron. OMG don't do it I know now we have so many better medications that will cure it. I was on epclusa for a month showed no virus and I panicked went off back at the end of Feb. Recently I went for blood work to find no virus this is four months after I went through treatment please pray it's over and I am cured
 Doctor said if it stays that way for three more month my chances are really good! I will keep in touch and pray for all of you."


"They had me on this combination of 100's & 150's at different times in the day. Sometimes I would take my meds just fine other times I would take them, my head would feel like it was going to explode,  white part on computer screens would dance around gave me wicked vertigo. I don;t know why it only worked for me on a pick and choice kind of basses.

"


"I got the Implanon on September 3 2010 and so far I have had mood swings like crazy and had my period for 1 1/2 weeks (normal for me is 3 days) and spotting for another week. My libido has been revved up. So far I think it is okay...but with the whole libido boost and the constant unprotected sex...wondering how likely I am to get pregnant."


"I had Nexplanon inserted 6 weeks postpartum. The insertion was easy pretty painless and it only bruised for a couple of days. I've only had it for 4 months the first month I had a pretty heavy period it lasted for 6 days but it was bearable. I haven't had a cycle since that first month though. I have noticed a little weight gain but not a lot. What I would say is the most annoying is that around the time I should get my period I'm very annoyed and have pretty bad headaches and my arm itches like crazy where the rod is inserted other than that I've had no complaints."


"Every time I felt like I was about to get a cold sore, I used to use the Blistex. Recently, my brother used Abreva and told me it got rid of his in 2 days. And I just recently got a cold sore, but I didn't use any product on it the day I felt the tingle that means one is about to come, so the next day I woke up, and of course had a cold sore. I went to the store because I remembered that Abreva worked on my brother so I got the product$22. This is my second day using it and it is damn near gone I have been rubbing a little on and then put another dose on it and just let it sit there and soak, and once it dried, put another dose on top,and keep doing it. After a while, dab it clean with a hot was rag to clean it and let it breath a little.❤i"


"Within 24 hours of taking this pill, I became sick and lost the ability to get an erection.  So yeah thats fun.  I have taken several antidepressants through the years and I have never experienced side effects this bad."


"As you may know, migraines are extremely debilitating even when trying to perform most menial tasks let alone professional responsibilities. I tried Maxalt for the first time today approximately 20 minutes after my first aura and it actually works. I am happily surprised! I have yet to experience any side effects. However, lets be honest, I'd be tolerant of almost anything besides a migraine - which feels like a freight train chugging through my head."


"So far it's been over 2 weeks on Lutera and I like it. I only had a headache and slightly nauseous on the first day of taking the pill and after that I was fine. My skin is clear (I didn't have acne before either though), I have no mood swings & no spotting. My energy level is the same as before I took the pill. I have no weight gain either. Overall I am very pleased with this pill. In the past I have taken Orthotricyclen and it made me slightly nauseous and I had some light spotting if I took a pill later than usual. I hope this review helps someone. Just keep in mind everyone is different and their body reacts differently to bc pills."


"I had mild trouble sleeping and developed Raynaud's after 2 years of taking this."


"Day two of taking the higher dose of trulicity I was so ill , my breath smelt like poop and I kept burping with the most awful eggy/ pooey breath , later that night I was violently sick and it smelt again like poop and looked liked it . I've never been sick with what looked like should have come out the other end . Just started on lower dose today so hopefully don't get side affects like that again ."


"I have painful bladder syndrome and was having many infections. I have been using Ceftin 250 mg once a day for a year and have had NO infections since the use of this medicine has been added to my routine."


"I had a terrible experience with this pill. I started to break out, a ton of headaches, mood swings, and weight loss."


"I've been on Arimidex 4 years and 1 month, prior to which I took Tamoxifen for 5 months.  During the first year I developed a frozen shoulder, which my oncologist said could be due to the Armidex, extreme joint stiffness which gradually subsidized and ended after 9-12 months, intense hot flashes which as of this year are lessening, insomnia, vision issues (detached retina - but am also very myopic), pronounced facial aging, dry skin (am 57 years old) and thinning hair.  I also experienced depression and mood swings beginning 3 months after the start of Arimidex.  I never took medication for it but am finding that it has also gradually lessened over the last 1 1/2 yrs."


"Seasonique is the absolute worst birth control ever. I have been spotting for two weeks. I chose this birth control to control the heaviness of my periods, however, I cannot say that it has made my periods any better. I rather just have my period for 5-6 days and have cramping rather than go through with spotting for two weeks with cramps. I'm definitely going to my doctor to change my birth control."


"I took this bc because I had constant bleeding for over a month. It stopped my period for about two weeks, however I started bleeding heavier than before and had cramps so severe it felt like I was having labor pains every minute for a couple of hours. I had to go to emergency room and while there I had a clot the size of golf ball. The doctor said it was the birth control and to see obgyn and get on another form of bc. I will not be taking this anymore and would not recommend!"


"This was the worst thing I've ever experienced. I would never in a million years suggest this to someone. I started this Feb 2015 a few months in I started bleeding and discharging non stop, till this day July 2017. The amount of money that goes into tampons, new underwear is just miserable. I have changed as a person I am no longer positive, nothing has been exciting, sex felt like a chore, I went from 130 to 180, and my anxiety/depression has been at an all time low (some nights I can't even sleep.) I experience horrific pains in my stomach and breast randomly. Weight loss is almost impossible, I worked out for over 3 months straight, drank water, jogged a mile,& counted my calories lost nothing. I wish I could take all this time back!"


"Started The Depo Last Year In September First Shot Never Had Any Bleeding Second Shot Just A Little Spotting The Last Shot Is Horrible!! I Been Bleeding For 3Months Straight Went Back To The Doctor Told Them About The Situation & All They Did Was Give Me The Birth Control Pills & Said That It Will Stop & Take It For A Week ... So Weeks Past .. Still Bleeding The Bleeding Stopped For Like 5 Days My Stomach Started Hurting Went Too The Bathroom Blood & Clots All Over !! Now I'm Bleeding Every Two Weeks Out Of A Month Sometimes Longer I Do Not Recommend Takeing This Shot!"


"Life back. Fatigue,fibro,myofascial pain,& no rem sleep. I was only out of bed on the average of 6 hrs per day. Stomach pain & nausea bad 2 weeks at 200 mg so cut in half.  At 100 mg after 10 days can tolerate.  Speech is not as fast as on 200 mg & not quite as active, but up most all of the day.  Tired at nite, but still takes awhile to get to sleep.  So happy to feel almost normal again!"


"My mouth burned so bad until I took Klonopin. Now, it's as cool as a winter breeze. It works great like gravy."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Within 5 days of taking Eliquis I have an itch rash on both sides of various parts of the body. Particularly itch at night after a couple of hours sleep. Seems to appear on same area of opposite sides of body simultaneously. Legs, upper arms, forearms, thighs, sides of stomach and chest.
Also muscle spasms, legs, hips, back arms.
Stop taking drug and no more muscle spasms and itching and rash clears up within a week to ten days."


"USELESS did not seem to help. Muscle cramps in my ribs are still painful."


"I have suffered from progressive neuropathy over the last 5 years to where it finally became intolerable, particularly in my feet and legs, and starting to spread to my arms and even my face. I now have a doctor who has prescribed Lyrica for me for the last 4 months. At a starting dose of 75mgs twice daily there was noticeable relief. Still hurting, however, my dosage was increased to 300 mgs twice daily which has successfully reduced the pain so that I am able to function at a higher level than I have experienced in years with minor side effects, the most annoying of which is sleepiness. I am grateful and relieved to have been introduced to Lyrica and to have insurance that will cover it as it is obscenely expensive."


"I've had bipolar for 10 years, and just recently (last 2 months) switched to Lamictal and am experiencing no side effects.   In the past, I have been on Depakote (5 years, bad blood counts) so switched to Lithium (tremors and shakes), and am now on Lamictal/Geodon."


"I go through often occasions of insomnia, and I take 50 - 100 mg of Trazodone, usually after a few nights with no sleep because I don't like how groggy it leaves me feeling in the morning, but it really does help me sleep. It kicks in within an hour for me, though sometimes it can still take me a few hours to actually fall asleep, but I always do. I don't think it gives me more nightmares, but I do have very vivid dreams. All in all it does it's job and will keep taking it."


"I started the dosage as recommended by my doctor at 10 mg for one week, then 20 mg for the next few weeks.  I was coming off Paxil slowly and going on Viibryd.  I had very vivid nightmares with Viibryd.  That's when I could sleep.  I spent many hours awake with Viibryd, say around six hours per night.  I'm already taking Ambien for sleep, and this medication made my insomnia much, much worse.  Even the Ambien wouldn't work.  What was even worse is that I felt like I was going crazy every morning after waking up from a very short sleep.  I feel bad enough as it is, and don't need to feel even worse.  I do NOT recommend giving this medication a try.  I was desperate for relief, but felt worse so I'm back to Paxil until I see my doctor again."


"I was on estarylla for 1 day and it gave me chest heaviness to the point where I felt I couldn't breathe for several days. I was sent to the ER and they said I was completely healthy. It made me very depressed but the worst part was feeling like I was literally suffocating but doctors telling me I was fine. Anxiety was through the roof and every moment was just torment and crying. I do not suggest taking estarylla!!!"


"I am from Canada, 24 year old female. I have always been a worrier but first experienced anxiety in my 4th year at University 3 years ago, I had a panic attack which then turned into panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Effexor is a GREAT medication for me, my dose was raised way to quickly at the beginning, I went from 75mg to 150mg to 225mg in a month and a half and got horrible Effexor induced anxiety but when my GP realized what was going on she put me back to 75mg and then very slowly put me up to 112.5mg and I have been there for 2 months now and I think it is the perfect dose for me. I don't have intrusive thoughts or panic sensations. Be patient, it's worth it!"


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for treatment of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis for going on 5 months, and I have to say that I am very happy with this pill. After the nightmare experience with my last pill, Seasonique (severe depression, constant bleeding, upset stomach, zero libido) this pill is a Godsend. The first month was, admittedly, rough (as it normally is when switching birth control pills). I had massive mood swings and 1 week of spotting. But since then it has been smooth sailing! The only issue I have is low libido. I'm guessing I'd probably have that problem with any hormonal pill, so I'm making the best of it. But Lo Loestrin Fe helps keep me pain free and has the added bonus of no bleeding! A   so far!"


"I was completely disabled by my nausea. I had zero appetite, simple tasks seemed impossible and went 2 weeks without working. At approx 7 weeks my doctor prescribed Diclegis. I must say I was extremely hesitant but after another week of constant nausea I decided I would give in. The change has been miraculous. I can sleep better, have an appetite (limited to salty or sour things only) and nausea almost completely gone.

After a few weeks or taking Diclegis, I decided to test not taking one night and spent a full day in bed with nausea and not being able to eat. Later that night I took my 2 pills again and next day feeling absolutely wonderful. This medication is a life saver."


"I hate to be one of the many negative commenters on here, but I want others to know my side effects that were related to the ring, that i didn't at first think was related to it.

Severe anxiety and racing heart. back pain. Zero sex drive! My alcohol tolerance down to zero with severe vomiting, shivering and hangovers. VERY moody especially week before period.

I have been off all birth control for about 2-3 weeks...ALL symptoms have disappeared...amazingly...and now I know it's related to the birth control, not me going insane."


"I have been on this medication about 8 months and it has had a profound positive effect on my life. It lifted my mood and provided me the stabilization to start making positive adjustments to my thought process and handling of stress.  At first I would get head rushes not totally unlike those from Adderall or other stimulants, but now that type of side effect is rare (maybe once a month and it only lasts a few minutes).  I have always been on the thinner side, but I have noticed it has also helped with controlling appetite and has almost entirely killed my desire to smoke cigarettes even when drinking or other social circumstances.

Simply put, this medicine may have saved my life and I feel like myself again."


"Belviq is amazing.  I've never been able to diet this long without cravings."


"It was ten minutes before my 30 minute puddle jumper flight. A friend knew of my sickness and handed me box of Marzine and said take one so I did. What difference, no side effects no sickness. Was not sleepy or tired. Felt GREAT after flight."


"This medicine worked miracles for me! I absolutely love it! It is very effective and works in days, instead of weeks! When I first started taking it 40 mg I was really out of it and sleepy but I got used to it and now it gives me energy and puts me in a great mood! Best anti-depressant/ anxiety medication ever and always remember there are side effects to EVERY medicine."


"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 have only been using epiduo for a few days and I have already seen an improvement in my acne. However my face burns everytime I put it on, I've tried to use moisturiser as my face is now extremely dry, but that hurt so much and made my face swell and go red! My face is so stiff and dry and hurts when I touch it! I have read these symptoms will go away so hopefully if I pursue I will see and improvement."


"I was scared to take this because I read about people having horrifying side effects...I'm taking the generic form of Bactrim DS 2x a day for 7 days. On day 5 and the only side effects I've noticed are mild gas and a headache. If you're skimming these reviews looking for reasons to be scared, just remember that most of these bad reviews are from people who are probably: A) Allergic to the medicine. B) Not drinking enough water. C) Using alcohol and non-prescription drugs which you are NOT supposed to do while on Bactrim. D) Not taking it with food. Take the medicine with food and a good probiotic and it will help minimize your side effects. Drink LOTS of water and stay out of the sun while on this medicine! Not soda, not coffee, WATER."


"Love this product! I started taking it a few years ago to clear up my skin, and it exceeded all expectations. Not only is my skin totally clear, I no longer have heavy periods and I have never experienced any negative side effects. Sometimes when I do get my periods they come at irregular times, but they are always very light. I'd recommend this product!"


"Terrible pill. I went on it to clear my acne and help with my extreme period sickness and it made both worse. On top of that, I became extremely lethargic and depressed at times with no reason. I am energetic and a happy person, so this was not a normal tendency for me. My sickness became so severe at times I couldn't even move or sleep. Being in college this is not something I needed to be dealing with. I would become so ill I would consider flushing every single pill down the toilet but continued to give my body a chance to get used to it. I also suffer from cystic acne and this made it even worse even though it's essentially a pill to clear acne.  I stayed on for 3 months hoping for a change and never got it."


"I started on Trintellix at 10mg and after about 6 weeks I feel like I still didn't feel it was helping a whole lot. A few weeks ago my Primary Dr said to up it to 20mg then and that same week I found out when getting my annual through the OBGYN that my Thyroid medication that I've been on for a good 5 years had to be increased from 25Mcg to 50Mcg about 2 weeks ago. The primary Dr was going to take over and check how the thyroid medication was doing in about 8 weeks. So I'm not sure if having this thyroid problem right now, if that's way the Trintellix hasn't really kicked in for me or not? They say if your having thyroid problems it can cause depression and anxiety. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see?"
