"This was the first birth control I was on. It was terrible. I had two periods a month and had rage like a crazy person. Also, I was depressed all the time and just felt like sitting in the comfort of me, myself and I. I don't want to blame the birth control for my breakup with my boyfriend at the time but I definitely think it was a huge part. "


"the only thing that works.  completely awesome."


"Not as bad as I thought it would be.  Got the 1st dose down and action began in about 70 minutes.  After roughly 30 minutes action bas subsided.  No nausea or other side effects.  I feel cleaned out, although I have another dose at 9:30.  Getting all of the water down is no problem.  Taste of the medication is not a problem either.  Wish me luck for later!"


"Barely 4'11", age 50, started saxenda 9/10/16 at 134.  Today I'm 114.4.  I'm thrilled with a 19.6 loss in less than 2 months and cravings for sweets are gone. Dr. chose saxenda for me after months of no success with diet and exercise alone. Dose was .6 mg until last week.  Now at 1.2 mg.  A few days of nausea at start on .6 but none since.  Only side effect is occasional constipation.  My insurance doesn't cover saxenda and I think it's very expensive even with the savings card but it's been worth it to avoid another back surgery."


"Xanax is the only thing that works for me."


"Back story, I was on the mirena for 5 years and got off of it in Early 2017 (my body has already been used to the hormone in the morning after pill) I had taken the morning after pill about 16 hours after unprotected sex with someone I didn't know. The last 2 weeks of my life have been horrible. I had no initial symptoms of the pill until about a week after taking it. i track my periods using EVE. And it was during my most fertile day that I had sex. Which made me panic 10 times more. I felt sick 24-7. I even threw up. My period came 2 days late. And I'm still on it. It's much lighter than I'm used to and the cramps are horrible. The moral of the story is. Don't panic. Listen to your body. Every thing will be fine. The pill did work."


"I just had my IUD inserted about 2 weeks ago and I am loving it! Right after insertion I was very light headed and threw up. But I'm not sure if it was due to the insertion or because I also just had the implant removed from my arm. So far only had cramping on the first night and super light spotting here and there. No mood swings, acne or weight gain unlike nexplanon and I feel like myself again! Easy and effective birth control, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to switch!"


"This was the absolute best muscle relaxer my doctor has ever
given to me. I have a bulging disc in my back and it is in the middle of my back and sometimes I have excruciating pain associated with this and Soma really is the best I have found."


"Viibryd has been the best medication I  have taken for my depression. I have tried a few others and had terrible results. Viibryd seems balanced. I feel more stable. Although i do have trouble with insurance covering the medication for some reason. I have great insurance."


"I don't know how to explain the turmoil and suffering that I went through in the mid nineties even after a perfect childhood at 17 years old. I found myself 79 pounds in the hospital because I could not eat I could not sleep and I could not function, however misdiagnosed as an eating disorder and depression it took me quite a few times to even go to a doctor that noticed I may be a bit nervous. I bet that was an understatement. Because I keep getting slack about the medication I have tried kalanapin which brought me out like a teenager and did not work for me. I have tried valium which was way too strong for me. I have been on this medication for over 15 years and have never had to up my dosage not once and it still works. "


"I took this for about two weeks at 4mg and doubled to 8, which I kept for around 2 more months. I was in a coma all the next day if I didn't take before 8 pm. This was bad enough, but I had a nearly fatal dystonic reaction and my pulse was in the 230s when I got to the ER. I nearly died. Like, this is a rare complication, but I wish I was informed that was even possible."


"I took Pristiq for extreme generalized anxiety disorder.  I went off 5 weeks ago because I was feeling so well after taking it for several years and I just had to go back on 4 days ago.  This medicine works very quickly.  I could barely get out of bed on Friday and I was back to work Monday, functioning and feeling much better.  Pristiq does not take my anxiety away 100% all the time but it keeps me functioning.  Without this medicine I am not sure what I would do."


"I give Zoloft (sertraline) a 10/10 for my OCD, as well as for my Panic Disorder and Generalized Anxiety. I have struggled with these disorders since I was a little kid. Other anti-depressants helped but only a little. Before Zoloft, I was having multiple disabling panic attacks per day, severe anxiety especially at bedtime, and severe OCD including intrusive thoughts and checking behaviors. I have been on 50 mg for 3 months, and it has made a big difference in my symptoms for all of my disorders. My overall anxiety has lessened, my OCD has improved (less checking and fewer intrusive thoughts) and I can now go a week or more without a panic attack. I just moved up to 75 mg to help with remaining anxiety/OCD/panic."


"I have been taking Fosamax (once a week form) for 10 years now without problems.  My  last scan showed an improvement of 97 percent after ten years by checking my "T" scores.  "


"My first Mirena was the amazing. I had little to no side effect - and no period the entire time.  I decided at 4.8 years to rush to my OB and have a new one.  I was not so lucky this time.  I have had a harder time managing my depression, I have periods, I have smelly discharge constantly and my hair is falling out.  My sex drive is fine maybe even higher but I can't handle the smell - its not a bad smell I've just never had a smell so this thing has to go."


"I am experiencing the following side-effects: Breast enlargement, reduction of size of testicles, complete ED, multiple hot flashes hourly, and a mental fog that prevents clear thinking.  These were all expected side effects and came as no surprise.  Additional unexpected side effects include: rapid pulse rate, elevated BP, breathlessness, short term memory loss, extreme and uncontrollable emotional outbursts (uncontrollable crying over minimally emotional issues), and sleep deprivation (1-2 hours total sleep which could account for the emotional issues).  Of additional concern are anecdotal statements by others claiming no reduction of any side effects even after years of removal from follow-up injections of Lupron. My concern is great enough to request suspension of this drug, even at the cost of an elevated PSA with a corresponding resurgence of the cancer.  I know there are additional drugs I can take to counteract some of these side-effects, but I would rather not complicate the situation with even more medication. My PSA stands at .3 as of this writing, and I would withdraw my request were it to increase to 4.0, however continued living with this nightmare drug is not my idea of life."


"Can't live without it. Been on it for 8 yrs. now and it still works for me. My Dr. does not prescribe narcotics, so I'm very glad the  Tramadol works for me. Condition: fibromyalgia."


"I have been using Lyrica for about ten weeks. I increased my dose gradually until the majority of my pain is gone. I am now at 150mg at bed and 75 mg in the morning. I have found the side effects to be minimal, the most noticeable is mid afternoon drowsiness and a bit of vertigo. This medicine has also helped calm the need for frequent urination. Who knew?"


"I was unable to use it because of side effects.
(1) 2 days after beginning it I experienced fast heart rate
I stopped using it for two weeks.
(2) When I resumed use one of my eyes became very painful.
I used the drops for only 3 days. The cost of $95 was too much for me."


"It was great at first for my GAD.  I have never been able to concentrate so well. Unfortunately, it completely eliminated my personality.  I didn't get upset or excited about anything.  I eventually went off of it after my desire for sex had been completely eliminated.  My ability to become aroused returned within a few weeks.  Fortunately, I did not have any withdrawal symptoms when I stopped taking it."


"I have only been taking 40mg of propranolol twice a day for 5 days and I find that the tremor is much improved, however, I have such bad pain in my legs.  It started 2 days after I started taking it.  My thighs were aching all weekend and I have been woken from the pain in my lower back and hips since then.  Not good.  Hoping it will get better"


"Worked perfectly for the first week (10mg), my mind was completely clear and I felt almost no anxiety whatsoever. Second week(20mg) started feeling suicidal, worst i've ever felt in my entire life. Parents thought it was out of character, I couldn't stop crying- worst emotional pain i've ever felt (I've never felt like that before). Was convinced it wasn't the medication, but felt better as soon as I stopped taking it. If you're feeling this way while being on it, it's probably the medication... I was convinced that it wasn't until I started seeing that a couple other people had similar reactions.

"Been on Isoniazid and Pyridoxine for 5 months now for Latent TB and have noticed that I've become much more nervous especially when I'm presenting to a crowd. I've never had issues like this and been a good orator. Lately I get choked up and have performance anxiety!!! Can't wait to stop this medication!"


"I was in and out of the ER due to migraines and on the last day they gave me a prescription of Compazine. The next day when I took it I laid down to take a nap and woke up struggling to breath. My throat was closing and I could barely talk. I went into a full blown panic attack and called the ambulance. They gave me 3 different shots of something I can't remember and rushed me to the hospital. My jaw felt locked like I clinching my teeth hard together by the time I got to the hospital. I was shaking uncontrollably and crying hysterically. After I was discharged I came home and chugged some childrens benadryl and took some xanax and felt the side effect slowly go away. I have never in my felt so scared."


"I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6. My parents at the time decided against treating my illness with any form of medication. This was in the mid-90s during a time where ADHD and ADHD medications were very controversial. This led to self-medicating with prescription opioids throughout my teens and early twenties. It wasn't until several psychiatrists continued to stress the importance of treating my ADHD that I finally decided to try the Adderall. And I can proudly say that it changed my life and saved me from a serious drug addiction. I'm now in my third year of school studying psychopharmacology. Thank you Adderall."


"I was diagnosed with AF 16 years ago. Back then, Betapace aka Sotalol was newly approved for oral use in the US although it had been around in Europe. I have been on this medicine since then. My dosage have gone from as low as 40 mg 2x a day to as high as 120mg 2x a day throughout the years. all these years I had a few AF every now and then but as the dose was adjusted it was well controlled until last year. Most cardiologist would say I am one of the few patients they know who has been on Sotalol this long. I was told since the beginning that I have the worst case of AF not induced by any activity  and will not benefit from ablation because of numerous foci. I am very happy with Sotalol but might need other alternative soon..."


"I've been on depo for about 3 years now.
PROs:  1) depo is convenient and 2) prevents pregnancy 99%, from what I read.  I know I haven't gotten pregnant while being on it.  Also, I have had blood clots in past, so it was a 3) good alternative to the pill, which can cause blood clots.
CONs:  1) spotting, ALL the time.  As I was reading this, I just realized/remembered that my Dr. told me to prevent this, the Dr. can alter the dose of the medicine, so if this is an issue for you, please talk with your doctor and don't be lazy like me! 2) libido definitely has gone down. 3) if you're on it for over 2 years, it can really negatively affect your bone density.  I'm getting off of it for this reason."


"I had a high fever and was treated with Augmentin for a sinus infection but it turned into pneumonia.  I was given Levaquin for 14 days 500 mg.  It helped the pneumonia but it is hard on your stomach and I have now developed plantar fascitis."


"This started out as a great experience. I was on Lexapro but due to the decreased sexual desire wanted to try something else.

The first three months felt great, no improvement on the sexual aspect however.  Then the side effects started and it was terrible. Started with constipation, which I was able to put up with. The legs hurting and cramping was another story. As long as I was active I had no problem. Go on a trip and it was hell. My legs would hurt like crazy. Then at night in bed if I turned over I got leg cramps in my thighs.

OH and the DREAMS! So real, vivid and weird.

Expensive!"


"I've had the nexplanon for a year and 2 months and I'm 18 and I haven't had a period since I been one it I've gained about 50lbs since I've been one it and I been doing everything I can to lose it and it won't happen I'm getting it removed next month but I really don't recommend this. I've had the depo and it messed up my back and still didn't have a period on that but I thought about the implant and it does work not getting you pregnant.  But I'm gaining so much weight and I do everything and still gain it. Please girls if you don't want to be big and have no period, depression have bad anxiety, be tired 24/7 don't get it or the depo. It sucks.  My boyfriend wants me to get it removed because I keep gaining weight before I was on it I was 145 now I'm 195"


"I take it as needed."


"I've been on Wellbutrin in combination with Prozac for almost a year now. When I began Wellbutrin, for the first couple of months I felt like I was on speed. I would constantly shake and my heart rate was pretty fast. For the first couple of months, I experienced very large mood swings that led to me making very irrational decisions. Despite this, I continued taking it, and after about 3 months I wasn't so shaky or moody anymore. When I began Wellbutrin I weighed about 115 pounds, and I lost 15 pounds over the course of 2 months on Wellbutrin, and have been stabilized at 100 ever since. Wellbutrin has caused me to be more energetic, happy, friendly. I definitely recommend it."


"Currently in the middle of my first week of taking Tri-Sprintec. I started taking it on the first day of my period and it is now the 4th day and my period is basically done. I have had no bad side effects whatsoever; the only is a very mild nausea that is manageable. I also had NO cramps during my period. Definitely Recommend!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Prep for my colonospy. Mixed them together with cold water and put it in the refrig for 4 hours. When I took it out of the refrig I shook it good and poured out the first 8ozs. Drank it pretty fast. It was cold and went down pretty easy. Waited 15 minutes and did it again until it was gone. Humm, nothing happened, drank a Costco bottle of water, nothing. Then about an hour later I was glad I stocked up on TP. Back and forth several times and started to drink more water in hopes that I run clear. Ten years ago I had a small bottle they had me mixed with Dr Pepper. Oh boy, everytime I drank water I was sitting down.
This is not so aggressive. Doing round 2 at 3a/m. Hope its about the same experience."


"First and foremost let me say, for all the girls out the reading these reviews. STOP STRESSING. My bf and I tried to have sex on Jan.10. It was protected but he took the condom off at one point to see if it would go in better it did but only for a second. We ended up not having sex because I was to tight lol. I started reading about "precum" which is something my bf does get a lot of. I read how it can get you prego and I flipped out. I took "Take Action" on the 12th of January approximately 30hrs later. It made me really sleepy that day and the next day upset stomach. After a week of nothing and a week of cramps and slight nausea I got my period today, on the 26th, same as last month. I'm getting some birth control now ladies! Take care."


"This medication is awesome. I have been an alcoholic for 12 yrs. It has been 2 weeks since my last drink. It helps with mood swings, depression, and cravings. The best thing about it is it is not addictive (non narcotic)."


"I'm 31 and have severe anxiety and problems with my heart racing dangerously fast for no apparent reason. I take a beta-blocker which slows my heart rate, but I still felt really anxious and panicky all the time! I'm also on methadone so my Dr. Would not prescribe me any benzos for my anxiety for fear I would get addicted to them! She tried every kind of antidepressant but none really worked. Just. A few months ago she prescribed me 1x300mg 3x a day of gabapentin, and now my anxiety is completely under control I, feel like I have a new lease on life ,and feel much more comfortable in my own skin."


"Absolutely shocking, would not recommend to anyone due to the side effects of its use. I am 2 months into my first shot and have gained 5 pounds (my weight has not changed in years and I have maintained a good diet etc). Got my first ever spots on my face and the general condition of the skin on my face has worsened. Since using the injection I feel more tired, restless and have no energy. I have been feeling emotional, angry and depressed all the time.

To conclude, although a small amount of users get on really well with this method of contraception, it is no way worth the risk of finding out if it will work for you as once you have had the injection it cannot be reversed unlike the contraceptive patch/pill for example."


"I'm 20, and on my fifth day on sertraline, and I'm already feeling great! I have generalized anxiety and social anxiety, which had caused me to feel extremely nervous even around close friends and family. I hardly spoke in groups, and people thought that I was just being quiet because I was a quiet person, when really, I was just afraid that my voice would shake and make me look stupid. My first two days on sertraline were a bit tough. I had a presentation which caused me a lot of anxiety, even more than usual (maybe because of the new chemicals in my body). But somehow, my presentation was very successful, and after it was over, I felt so accomplished. Since then I am noticing some fantastic changes. I'm becoming optimistic about my life."


"I began to have issues maintaining an erection due to medications I take for other health issues.  I am young and it is extremely embarrassing.  My wife was also unfulfilled and unhappy that we were not being intimate very often.

I asked my doctor for help and he gave me Cialis.  5mg to start. It works amazingly well. Once you get the desire you get a nice long lasting erection.
I highly recommend Cialis. The only side effect I have experienced is soreness. But that's because of all the sex and not because of the Cialis."


"Note:I don't speak English much couse it ain't my native language but I hope I can help.

This remedy is a God send,I was too depressed and don't know what was the depressed feeling look like even if I heard some bitchy ass (forgive me)saying this guy is creasy I just wouldn't listen to them ..but hey I'm happy now not becouse only this remedy but god have me now..what I'm trying to saying is if you're feeling depressed or raceing though try this if it ain't working try something else just don't give up..

Great day"


"Been coughing for 3 weeks and this helped a lot. I am taking all sorts of over the counter pills, gels, capsules, hot water, cold water mixes with multiple active ingredients and Cheratussin AC syrup gave me better relief than anything else. I still couldn't sleep through the night and ended up taking middle of the night doses with the other things as it took over 4 weeks to get over my flu. When I was younger I got a codeine cough syrup and it didn't help but this time this did."


"I've used this medication for months and it saved my life! I used to have the heaviest periods. I would bleed through my pants almost everyday of my period no matter how much I changed my pad/tampon. With this medicine I never even have to worry about my period anymore! I have experienced no side effects or down sides to this pill. I absolutely recommend it for anyone who had a troublesome period. I love it!"


"i have had it for 9 months. first month i had very light irregular bleeding. dr had me take estrogen for a month and no period since then. other than it gets sore sometimes where implanon is at if i use that arm alot i have had no issues. i love it"


"Have been prescribed doxycycline for bronchitis, also have asthma and have been on Prednisone steroids along side the antibiotics.

Side effects experienced:

Increased urination, Slow urine flow, Severe Kidney Pain, Headaches, Stomach pain, Yeast infection (Male).

Out of all the antibiotics ever in my system these have the worst side effects, the chest infection has passed in 5 days."


"Started 5 days before my quit date, today is my 23rd day smoke free.  First week I did experience a spaced out feeling at times and increased desire to stay busy- that has leveled off and I feel completely normal. Cravings tough during 1st week, but staying busy helped. Woke up several times in the night but fell right back to sleep- I take 150mg twice a day...first at 5 am second 8 hrs later, never had a hard time falling asleep.  Constipation still an issue and hoping that eases.  No decrease or difference in appetite/weight. Cravings now maybe 2 per day and don't last long. Would recommend, but you must want to quit."


"I have been on Celexa (Citalopram) for a little over 3 years now. It is amazing how drastic it has changed my anxiety and depression. I have had severe anxiety and panic attacks right before I started on the medication. After receiving the medication, I didn't take it for about 6 months because I read the side affects about low sex drive LOL! During those six months I would have to take a klonopin (Xanax) almost every day because I would have bad anxiety or a panic attack. After the six months, I couldn't take it any longer and I gave in. It usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks to really kick in but when I tell you, that medication helped dramatically. I NEVER have anxiety anymore even for the things that would usually give me anxiety."


"Works great! Works better then using both 2 nasal sprays individually. It is much more convenient to only have to use one nasal spray and is less irritating. If your insurance doesn't cover it ask your doctor to submit a prior authorization to your insurance. My doctor's office got Dymista approved in just a few hours.
     Other options include using the Manufacturer's coupon from their website to get $100 off or a lower copay. Or buy the generic online from a reputable/verified International pharmacy for about $30 including shipping. Just make sure the pharmacy is verified by VIPS, has the physical address on the website, and requires a script. Generic Dymista not avail in US."


"I have been using Elidel for about two and a half years. I use it on my face because apparently it does not thin out the skin the way steroid ointments do. Elidel works great on my eyelids as long as I apply it twice a day. It works fairly well on my cheeks and forehead. I have not experienced any side effects while using Elidel."


"I took it for 11 months and had to stop due to sudden spotting once a week. My body got used to the progestin and started shedding too much of my lining (what my doc said). I had such a great experience with it I am sad to see it not work for me anymore! I had my period every 3 months due to how horrible they were in the past, but on this pill my periods improved a ton. I went from being bed ridden for hours to an actual functioning woman. Sure I had cramps but they were just normal compared to what I was used to. Periods were shorter but not lighter. My breasts grew a lot as well. Didn't gain any weight other than that. No other symptoms."


"I was on effexor and it was working well, but the excessive sweating and near total loss of libido were too much. I started viibryd and I think it might be The One for me. The depression is better than ever, anxiety is down, sex drive is even higher than it was before I started effexor. The only side effects were diarrhea that went away after a few days on 20mg, and dry mouth which is only a slight bother."


"BLEAH! This stuff was foul tasting, and while I was able to get down the first dose, which I took at 6 p.m., my body wasn't having anything to do with finishing the second dose, which I started at 6 a.m. I had just finished the third glassful, and promptly threw up. No heaves; just opened my mouth and it left in a hurry.

Now I'm due for another colonscopy, since obviously prep for the first one didn't work, and I'm going to try to take Suprep. Wish me luck.

"


"I Started the medication  on 1/31/2016 started at 252 pounds 4 weeks ago, I have lost 15 pounds so far the first three weeks was fine had slight headaches which comes and goes. I started taken 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the evening on my 4th week and couple days later I started feel sick to my stomach I hope this will pass will keep you updated is anyone else having this problem or have any solutions??"


"I have suffered from chronic constipation since my mom said I was in diapers. I will go up to 2 weeks without movement when on no medication. I started on Amitiza 10 years ago, learned how to deal with the side effects, but still hated the nauseousness  they cause. I asked my doctor to switch me to Linzess even though she hasn't had any patients on it yet, and so far I LOVE IT! No terrible side effects. Yes I get diarrhea on it, but that is common for any medication I take for CIC. I'll take diarrhea over constipation any day. No stomach pain, no bloating, no water retention!"


"Just want to say that Claravis worked (40mg/2x/day). The dry lips were horrid and the first few months I hid out, but the end was totally worth it. To prevent other side effects, my doctor told me to drink 60 FL oz of electrolyte drink (i.e. Gatorade, Powerade, Smart Water). Good luck!"


"I suffer from Severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, Panic Disorder . The comment above me was almost like a mirror image! I was so relieved to see that another person has been on every anti-depressant out there and none had really worked... For me however, all the anti-depressants I have been on in the past have actually caused an opposite effect than what they are meant to do. I would become even more depressed and even suicidal. I have Systemic Lupus, (among many other serious health issues) and in my case, the Lupus is very severe. It is pain, every waking moment. The Fetzima 40mg has helped a bit with that, it hasn't made me more depressed and I think I may even be feeling a bit more positive. So, all in all, I think it may be working : )"


"I've had RA for 16yr (I'm 49yr)....I'm currently on Methotrexate (5 pills wkly) and Humira. In the past 10mo  I've had shingles twice so I had to go off of it so that I could get the shingles vaccine.  I definately missed taking it and have suffered a bit.  I just started back up and am looking forward to it kicking in! It works wonders for me....**altho I will say that whenever I travel south (TN), I forget I even have arthritis....climate matters..."


"I have been on many antidepressants and they all make me want to snack and overeat. I gained a lot of weight on all of the other antidepressants. I was so tired of gaining weight. About a year ago I started taking Trintellix and I am no longer craving snacks all day.  My depression was marked by feelings of irritibility and lots of crying. I feel 100% better. I think that this medication has worked better than any others I've tried. So relieved."


"Took one Lizness and 30 minutes later had massive cramping from my stomach and intestines. If I even took a sip of water it got worse. Rolled up in a ball crying all day, no one, not the doctor or pharmacy had any idea of how long it would last. Best guess was 24 hours. It stopped at 9pm for the most part and started at 5.30am. Today my entire body is sore to touch, bloated and horrible stomach ache. Can't eat anything. "


"I was on this pill for 4 years. The side effects were pretty bad. I'd get migraines. I'd cry a lot. I became paranoid about things. Had severe anxiety. Was depressed a lot. Pretty much things that I never felt before until I got on this pill. Very effective in preventing pregnancy but would otherwise not recommend."


"Do not get this form of birth control! Had mine inserted around the end of April missed my period for 2 weeks than bled heavily for a month and spotted ever since :/ some days were heavier than others, I have gone through so many panty liners I actually missed my normal period while I was on it. Sex was embarrassing and my mood was horrible felt depressed and anxious all the time. Had mine removed 5 months later"


"I've always had issues falling asleep so I started taking this pill a couple months or a year ago. The first month or two it helped me fall asleep and wake up early - simple as that, no problems. After a while I started to build up a tolerance (I guess) and I couldn't really fall asleep when I took it. If I unintentionally stayed up for more than ~3 hours after I took the pill I would start getting weird side effects. Like I felt like I was going crazy. The worst was when I was trying to sleep it felt like 'ghost' hands were touching my body or something...crazy...I know. In addition, I would find my self looking at weird shit on the internet, or thinking strange thoughts. Most of the time I took the pill I would have gaps in my memory."


"Love this pill. Within a week I lost 5lbs. I started taking phentermine 37.5 on October 22 and by my next office visit on November 19 I had lost 13 lbs."


"Having the Copper IUD inserted was suuuuper painful. I had VERY heavy periods (which I've never had in my life) for ten days with terrible cramping. After a few months of heavy periods and cramping I got BV (which I've also never had before). I took antibiotics and it cleared up. You can tell you have it when you get that 'fishy' smell down there. I'm 8 months in now and my periods are heavier than they've ever been BUT they don't last as long,  which is nice. I really like not using hormones because they killed my sex drive. After getting the IUD, my sex drive went straight back up to where it used to be. I check for the string every month and I've not had any further issues. It's a good long term solution and I'm glad I got it."


"I had pretty bad fungus on my toe nails. At first it was my big 2 toes, then it spread. I remember my small toes didn't even look like they had nails. I was devastated, and just used nail polish to cover up. Then my big toe completely came off the nail bed. I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed it, warned me that it will take a year if anything, and that he didn't really think I was going to get a nail back. I used it every night, and tried to leave my nails pretty short. My small nails cleared up, and my big toe nail GREW back completely at 8 months, it has been 12 months you can't tell even if you tried!  SO THANKFUL! $25 copay, but I would have paid more if needed."


"I got kyleena inserted today. Let me tell you whoever said slight cramping is crazy it was the worst pain I have ever felt. It was the last day of my period so I wore  a pad and only had only a few drops of blood, after I got it inserted I was gushing. It's been about 5 hours since it's been inserted still having slight cramping but nothing as bad. I'm going to wish for the best no babies for me!"


"I was a little nervous to have Implanon, because I had read some reviews that were less than great. However, for the year I have had this birth control I have not really had a bad experience at all! I've had about 6 periods, and all but one have been super light (like barely there) and had lasted about 2-3 days. I had one period so far that did last about 2 weeks, which was kind of annoying, but was still very, very light. My only other complaint is that before I get my period I do have PMS, starting about 2 weeks before I start the period. My skin breaks out a bit, and I feel a bit moody and bloated, but that's all. Other than that, it's a great birth control, and I like not having to worry about getting pregnant or taking a pill everyday!"


"I have been on pain medicines for almost 13 yrs. I'm turning 30 in July. I started low at 5mg Percocet then 10mg, and then they threw in 20mg of OxyContin on top of my 10mg Percocet. Nothing worked well not even the Oxycontin. I'm now on 30mg Oxycodone and I do love it, yet it doesn't take away pain, just gets my mind of it and gives me so much energy and motivation. That's a odd side effect for Depression. I'm looking for a medicine that is stronger for when I have the serious break through pains. Never want to lose the oxycodone 30."


"I started taking this pill two years ago and a few months after I started it I wanted out. I noticed I was gaining weight very fast and was breaking out with acne on my back. I tried everything for the weight gain figuring it might have been eating habits and the fact that I'm in my 20s now and my body is changing but nothing helped!! I gained about 20 pounds in the past 2 years and have finally had enough and made my gyno switch me to something else (she also insisted it was my eating habits and not the pill numerous times which is why I stayed on it for so long) my friend was also on the same pill for years and gained even more than I did."


"I've only been on TriNessa for a month now but so far I'm having mixed results.  I decided to go back on birth control after a 8 year break (my husband had a vasectomy 8 years ago).  I had been looking into NovaSure due to extremely heavy periods but decided to try the cheaper route first.  I used to be on Ortho- Tricyclen before my second son was born with no problems that I recall.  I asked for the same again but was given TriNessa which I assumed would be the same.  Almost as soon as I started, I've been experiencing night sweats, slight weight gain (about 5lbs), and breast soreness.  So far my period is lighter though so I guess it worked for that.  I'll give it another 2 months and see if the negatives go away."


"Terrible experience for me. My body shook and twitched. I also felt very suicidal while on it. Not good for me."


"I am 50 years old. About 5 years ago I started to notice a decline in firmness which has been slowly getting worse. Two months ago started using 20mg Cialis. WOW enjoying sex everyday again. My wife hands me a pill every second day. Saved my marriage. No side effects. Have noticed very firm long lasting erections the next morning."


"Today is only my first day, and I have to say I got really angry with something that happened at work and normally I can shrug this off, but it's like I couldn't control it, and was super quite that morning then through the day I felt better. I've had headaches and bad diarrhea. The headache happened before the medicine so I'm not sure it's related and very slight nausea. I'll blog again once a little more time has passed."


"Relaxes me, helps me sleep without any side effects! That's very rare for me, usually medicine like that makes me irritable and groggy the next day."


"As a former Firefighter who suffered a back injury 17 yrs ago. The surgeons said surgery would not help and that I should stay on pain medicines for relief. I've tried them all. Norco 10/325 has been the best. I have been able to get a job and hold it, which has done wonders for my self esteem. To be able to return to the work force and lead a relatively normal life. I can't do a lot of things but since being on Norco 10/325 for 4 years now I no longer suffer any depression and family and friends say I'm my old self again. I still suffer times where I have to slow way down but overall this medicine has been life changing for me."


"Mom, 85, started using the Exelon Patch (13.9) about one year ago and it has made such a wonderful improvement in her mood, quality of life and cognitive ability.  It has given her back a life and provided the family quality time to enjoy her.  Before the patch, her memory was poor, she was agitated and continually negative, suspicious and lashing out at everyone.  Thanks to the Exelon patch, she's able to have a normal, peaceful life, without any type of side effects.  We feel very Blessed to have been told about the patch and I try to inform people with similar situations of the impact it has had on my mom."


"I have been on sprintec for over a year. All has been well and it has clearly worked for the purpose of preventing pregnancy. The one mistake I made was slipping my placebo pills and going on to the next pack instead, to avoid period. The period came two weeks later during my regular pills, and since then I have been spotting this dark brown gooey stuff. It sucks, but other than that I haven't had any problems with it."


"Right after the first dose, I experienced the worst stomach cramps, gas, bloating...all the way into my chest. It seemed to help my sinus infection, but nothing is worth that type of pain. I couldn't keep food down, I don't have issues with acid reflux, until I started taking augmentin. I tried one more dose, before I quit and I went to my regular doctor, and he agreed that this stuff is harsh on your stomach, and changed to different antibiotic. I tried drinking a lot of water, yogurt, and I increased my intake of probiotics, but so far nothing is helping. I am hoping this horrid feeling will go away eventually."


"Was on Methotrexate and Mobic with no relief for 5 years.  Took Enbrel and had a life again. Began golfing and bowling again. That suddenly stopped about 8 months ago the fatigue is unbearable and now the swelling and pain is back."


"Started treatment 12/2011 ended 12/2013. The PSA went down as expected for is the purpose of treatment, now waiting for side effects to end, which have been: loss of libido, hot flashes specially at night or after a meal, some sweating, loss of body hair, loss of muscle mass, joint and bone pain, tiredness, difficulty to start almost any quest, weight gain, chest/man breast augmentation. Have been taking vitamin D plus calcium, glucosamine, started an exercise program that has helped with muscle buildup, and also helps with better mood, by prescription have taken 3 applications of calcium to the vein. Have had excellent support from wife, have trust my Doctors and first of all God my father."


"Zyprexa was prescribed to augment Prozac for my depression. It helped me somewhat and I would have stayed on it but it made me extremely tired."


"Asacol stopped working and switched to Lialda and right back to remission!"


"I had asthma as a child and can tell you getting sick in the winter always leads to bronchitus horrible coughing fits so much to dry heaving being unbearable. Im 30 so now experienced in having that winter cold  no longer do i need antibiotics as the respitory infections become less and less  ive found running jogging or swimming staying in cardiovascular health is the best way to avoid this disaster , but these tessalon perle that first time ive had them this year work miracles for me they almost instantly subdue the coughs two pills at a time i experience no side effects other than drowsy and they are perfect for night when your body is slowing down the cough is coming back and its impossible to sleep when you need that rest"


"I am very aware of how my body feels on any given day, and I was very apprehensive about starting birth control again. I remembered feeling sluggish, craving food and being moody when I was on other birth controls. Last time I was on birth control I gained 10 lbs and couldn't shake it. With Lo Loestrin FE I had side effects during my first month. Now I'm in the middle of month two and I feel no side effects whatsoever. During month one I had non-stop spotting for two weeks straight (not fun for just starting a relationship). I bloated about 5 lbs during week 2, but with a little more dieting I worked it back down. I remember having one moment of extreme moodiness in week 3. But like I said, its month two and I have no side effects at all."


"I have heart palpitation, dizziness and chest pain. This is good, but I also have low blood pressure. So I have to check it four times a day. But overall it works well."


"I just started on Cymbalta for excruciating nerve pain behind my right ear.  This nerve pain is due to nerve damage from Shingles, PHN.  I have to say that I am quite happy with the results so far.  It seemed to zap the pain in about an hour from taking my first one.  It seems to wear off by the next morning so I am going to try to up it to twice a day, hopefully I will not have trouble sleeping."


"I have more of a concern/question than an experience to share. I have been taking Clindamycin 450 mgs 4 times daily....and started feeling a bit strange but nothing acutely abnormal just have felt off, so I came to read up on it & get other users reviews. Let's just say that had I known what could possibly happen weeks/months after stopping this drug, I wouldn't have taken it however now that I'm in half way through the prescription I've taken notice that in complete contradiction to the norm, I've had absolutely ZERO bowel movements in the last 6 days since starting this med & I'm getting concerned. Considering the norm reaction to this med is loose stools and/or diarrhea, I'm just concerned that it's doing something to my GI tract."


"I've been taking it for about three months and I have no problems. Maybe a slight spike in emotions here and there, especially around the days of my period. I take them every mornings as soon and I wake up. My skin has also been pretty clear, a zit here and there maybe. I've had no weight gain. My period has been extremely regular, like mind blowing regular! And it's also extremely effective for the prevention of pregnancy! I love this pill. I was previously on LoEsterin and I had significant weight gain, so this stuff is miraculous! Love my birth control!"


"Works wonderfully for anxiety and works fast. Does help together with Prozac for depression."


"It's been really amazing. I'm on 50mg daily of Zoloft and I went from horrible frequent panic attacks to occasional, "normal" anxiety. I feel like my life is totally different to how it was a year ago (I wouldn't even leave the house for fear of panic attacks). I switched from Lexapro which was not nearly as effective."


"I'm a little over a month using this cream to help clear mild acne. The first few weeks were horrible. Face would sting especially around mouth & corner of eyes. Skin was peeling & super dry, with dry patches appearing during the day. I use it every night & if needed would take a night off. However I stopped feeling them around week 3. My routine is: exfoliate face w/ philosophy exfoliating wash, followed with cleanse with their face wash. I apply a vitamin c serum (trueskin is the brand) leave to air dry for 2 mins then I use CeraVe daily moisturizer applying a generous amount. Wait 5mins then apply one pump epiduo forte gel on cheeks/chin. My skin looks drastically clearer. Still get break outs around cycle but they don't last long at all"


"For the first time, my ankle and knee pain is gone."


"Today is my first day.  5/11/2017. I was told me to take it around 10:00 am as it could cause insomnia if I take it in the evening.  I took it at noon.I had been procrastinating all morning. I'd done research and read all of the side effects. Even after getting the RX filled and placing the pill on my napkin next to my oatmeal  I was still undecided about starting this med.I'm 246lbs and 5'2. Morbidly obese. I'm tired of being fat so what the heck, let's get this party started. I swallowed hard about noon. 1:30, I was jittery and sleepy.2:30, I had to walk around to keep from laying my head on my desk. As soon as I got home, I took a nap.  Where is the promised energy?"


"I had stomach cramps within minutes of starting my first glass of Golytely and started my first bowel movement before I could even finish my first glass! Aside from the nasty taste and the stomach cramps, I have to say this really works. I think my colon will be completely clear for the colonoscopy tomorrow morning at the rate I'm going and that's saying a lot since I'm disabled and have zero control down there in that area."


"I have been on Paxil for several years. It helps in so many ways. To those that get sleepy ... try taking it at bedtime."


"I had inserted Mirena almost 4 months ago. I experienced heavy bleeding about 2 weeks after I got it and everyday after that up until the 2nd month. It started off heavy and gradually lightened up but the heavy bleeding lasted almost a month and it was everyday. The doctor that inserted it said this was normal and the further from insertion date I got it would get better. I've found this to be true. I am happy with Mirena."


"Have been on it for about a month and no spotting. It's obviously effective because I'm not pregnant, but the only problems I have are weight gain (I'm eating like a horse) and the worst acne I've probably ever had in my life. I'm going to wait it out and see what happens, but hoping it goes away. Was on Sprintec and it made me throw up every day, had to get off and so far those are the only downfalls of this one."


"I started taking cymbalta for chronic pain about a week ago.I give it a 9 that s how good it is for my chronic lower back pain no tramadol needed"


"It helped the withdrawls but my craving are very  high"


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


"Prozac works great for me.  It's helped pull me out of my 4 year depression.  I wished I would have asked for help sooner.  Prozac helped me get my "spark" back again."


"This birth control pill is awesome. It made my periods even lighter than they were before, I get no pimples, I've lost 15 pounds, my breasts went from a B to a D, and emotionally I feel the same as I did before it. I would highly recommend it."


"I inserted it due to excessive bleeding. It was torture putting it in and I spent the remainder of the day in bed. Periods stopped after 3 months. I was a reasonably fit boot camper. I went from being able to run 2km without a rest to not able to run 100m without ventolin virtually immediately after the insertion. It took me over a year to question the Mirena. I talked to my GP and we tested if I had developed asthma coincidentally. I am not an asthmatic. I asked my GP to remove it. She couldn't locate the strings. I had to visit a gyno (took 12mths to get the courage) who fished around with her tool to locate the string and remove it. I put on weight, even while exercising. I developed fat around my waist. I regret getting it."


"Its the best medicine for period pain so far.. I usually experience severe pain in my abdomen .. I take up to 4 pills every 6 hours on my first days.. but to be honest its a magical medicine.  I recommend it to every women that cant bare her period pain"


"I took two Ambien and according to my family, came down stairs, greeted them all like I never seen them before. Then went into the kitchen and performed a kitchen show talking to myself and my new recipes.  Then went back to bed.  I have no memory of this."


"My nails are clearing up and looking better after several years of hiding them.  I use kerydim twice a day and keep my nails cut short."


"This is the 4th colonoscopy I have had. I WILL NEVER PREP WITH MOVIPREP again. Tastes like moldy salt water with a twist of moldy lime. I literally gagged trying to get this down and yes I used a straw.

It is expensive!

If you have an early morning appointment, you are up 1 a.m. (For me) to do Part 2.

No prep experience is pleasant, MoviPrep is disgusting."


"Felt a little numb on the top of my lip, so I ran to put some Abreva on it. I used it for about a day and a half as directed (5x daily) with quite a healthy amount each time. I realized after the day and a half that anywhere I put the Abreva, the cold sore had spread to and was now blistering. It did the exact opposite of what it said it was supposed to do. Will never use again."


"I have tried everything under the sun for depression and anxiety over the past 15 years. Saphris is an amazing medicine. I take the black cherry flavor, which does NOT taste horrible, but is good (other flavor does taste horrible though) and I feel like my depression has been majorly lifted, my manic episodes and irritability have decreased greatly, and I am doing things in life that are productive for the 1st time in years and years. I must say I must also take Lamictal though, as without that the mania goes out of control even with Saphris. But together, excellent combination."

"I've had taken Advair for asthma. I have to say it has been a blessing. You must drink a glass of water when taking your dosage "not Juice" juice will upset your stomach . plus the nasty feeling in your mouth will go away and it will do the job even quicker. So I give Advair 5 stars, just remember to follow your dosage with water otherwise yucky yucky taste and upset stomach."


"I crashed a motorcycle almost ten years ago at 80 mph. I am lucky to be alive and walking. I have tons back problems now though. The doctors fed me high doses of every narco out there. I became addicted to the feeling of being painfree, no matter how many pills I had to take. Life got unmanagable and I was tired of it. After ten years of this I decided to start from scratch and clean up and get re-evaluated and try a different path. I was put on suboxone 8mg for about 8 months to treat the addiction. After that I had no desire to put a pill in my mouth. SUBOXONE WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. Just taking Opana ER 30mg twice a day now."


"I experienced an allergic reaction to Cosopt with a fever and a rash. I have had glaucoma for 15 years."


"My ob/gyn started me on this medicine after I started having my period every 2 weeks. I've been taking it for about 3 months now and have had the lightest and least painful periods of my life.  They last about 2-3 days tops.  But it does still carry some of the side effects that is why I dropped other Birth Control pills (in the past). I get very "mooody" leading up to the few days before my inactive pills and my boobs get HUGE!  As far as weight gain, I haven't experienced any yet.  But I consider myself pretty active, working out 3-4 times a week, and my weight hasn't moved since I started taking this medicine, hopefully this will change. Overall, coming from having very heavy, extremely painful and frequent periods, Junel has made my life much better."


"It definitely helps with "urgency" - I can now hang on for a while (up to an hour), whereas before I had to go immediately. My main concern with it is a feeling of vagueness and slight difficulty focusing mentally, starting around an hour after I take it and lasting 2-3 hours. It seems to be increasing. I am concerned enough about this that I am considering stopping Ditropan. Another side effect is a dry mouth. I need to have frequent sips of water, and the dryness wakes me up 2-3 times a night."


"Trileptal has been a life-saver so far in treating my Bipolar. I've been on the drug for a little over 10 weeks and I currently take 600mg/day split between morning and evening.

For the first month I experienced extreme fatigue, dizziness and headaches. Currently, I only sometimes have blurry vision and I feel like my memory has gotten worse (but it was poor to begin with). I didn't feel like it was actually working until I got to my current dose about three weeks ago and now every week is better than the last in that I have fewer "bad" days. I've even started to have good days without being manic!

I do have a problem with sodium levels that I only notice after exercise, but eating a pickle or two resolves that."


"I had an underlying infection after having my wisdom teeth removed. My doc put me on clindamycin 1.5mg and it worked magic. I felt remarkably better the next day after starting this and didn't suffer any of the side effects."


"Does not work for me."


"For 6 mths I've suffered chronic pain in the morning woken from sleep in pain in my joints. It started in my knees, then elbows & wrists. But 2 mths ago it started in my hips & lower back, & as my sleep was interrupted DAILY, so was my life. As soon I get up the pain would go, but the other day it wouldn't. So I went to my Dr who gave me Celebrex. I was scared to take it reading bad reviews. So I rang my Dr & he said take it & let me know how you feel tomorrow. I took it last night & can't believe I waited THIS long to try it. For the 1st time in 6 mths I woke with NO pain & it made me drowsy, which was a bonus. Celebrex WORKED for me so I want to write a POSITIVE review for people out there who are scared off by bad reviews. I'm pain free!"


"I've had Nexplanon for 14 months and i don't think it works with my body. The insertion was painless and I like how I don't have to worry about taking a daily pill. However, since I started Nexplanon, my body has reacted as such: 1) my periods last for about 23 days or more when on my former birth control, they lasted only 3 days 2) My face breaks out during my cycle, which didn't happen on my former BC 3) I never got cramps during my natural menstrual cycle or on my former birth control, but I get cramps on Nexplanon; during certain times I would cramp after orgasming oh, and it lowered my sex drive. 4) on the plus side, my breasts would get bigger and fuller for a few days. All in all, I think I will switch back to my old BC, Nuva Ring."


"I have been on Celexa for about a year. I absolutely love my 'happy pill'. My whole family loves me and I love them. The only side effects I have had are migraines if I skip a dose, or increased irritation if I take an extra dose. I don't mind the migraines as they remind me to take my Celexa when life has me running. Glad my doctor listened to me and proscribed this medication. Zoloft and Wellbutrin did not work at all for me. I have been on 20mg the entire time. Hopes this helps others."


"Toprol-XL eliminated peiords of rapid heartbeat that began mostly in the evening, at age 36.  Also reduced blood pressure along with other medicines (with lotrel 10/40 in my case).  I've had no noticeable side effects except for occasional sleeplessness / awaking anxious at night."


"I recently got the Liletta inserted (June 2016). I have been feeling very bloated lately and after I eat I still feel hungry. I have been an emotional rollercoaster (I control my emotions very well, I calm myself down and usually am a very self uplifting person), so something is definitely wrong! I have light cramping everyday and breast tenderness here and there just like acne. You know your own body and you know when something is wrong. I don't know if it's because I recently had a baby (April), maybe its the IUD and recently giving birth and my body trying to adjust?

I don't know, all I know is that this SUCKS!!!

I had the Mirena before and didn't have as much problems as this one and its supposedly the same thing just a generic brand."


"Taking this medication for a BV that has been coming back every few months for the past three years. I have previously received one-day pills and vaginal suppositories on different occasions, but none have been effective on the long-run.

The same gyn recently prescribed clindamycin 300mg twice a day for 7 days, however, gave me the complete Rx for 10 days in case I need it. I am currently on the 7th day, and likely to continue all through the 10th since my BV has been persistent. Fortunately, I have not had side effects so far, and I have not always taken the medication with food."


"For me all the side effects were extreme. Too extreme to continue taking the medicine for more than a week."


"After feeling suicidal for over 6 months, out of desperation I started this  (I've been pretty anti-antidepressants my entire life) but it's frankly looking like this is going to be a life-long medicine for me. Already feeling good after 3 weeks."


"I began Tamiflu on my second day of fever. Vomiting/nauseous within an hour of taking it. Keep at it for 3 more doses then this morning didn't take any. I'll consider the vaccine next year! Other products you can return for a refund if dissatisfied. Wonder how that would go over?"


"I noticed a difference within a few days. I would recommended this medicine for people with severe depression."


"I got the lileta in me in February 2016 it wasn't painful at all. I did bleed almost every day for a couple months. The blood wasn't heavy it was very light but it was still annoying. I am now frustrated because every time I have sex, I start to bleed which kills the mood. And sex is painful for my partner. If I exercise my abdominal area I start to bleed as well. If I take a bath I start to bleed. I'm tired of bleeding! This has to go!"


"Took this for the first time last night. 100 mg pill. I went to sleep within 30 minutes, but I woke up 2 hours later and took a 50 mg pill to go back to sleep. I woke up 3 hours later because of how dry my mouth was. I had to put a wet towel in my mouth to go back to sleep because of how dry my mouth was. I went back to sleep thankfully and woke up 5 hours later. So overall I got 10 hours of sleep. It puts you to sleep but I'm having a lot of side effects - Stuffy nose and dry mouth while I'm sleeping; I have now been up 4 hours and still have a headache and am somewhat dizzy. I'll give this a week and see if the side effects go away. Will see what happens."


"The first night on this med was almost unbearable with the burning, tossed and turned all night!

Second night (this evening), took a hot shower, took ibuprofen before that, then inserted cream, it's been an hour now and it's burning a little but it's wayyyyy more tolerable than first night.

Hopefully this gives some of you hope! :)"


"I definitely would not recommend this for anyone. I got mine put in 2 months ago and it was fine in the beginning until I started my period. Ever since then I have been bleeding/spotting randomly. It's awkward during sex and ruins my clothes. Also, the depression side effect is real. I've been more down about almost everything since I got it. I plan on getting it removed as soon as possible. Like I said, I would NOT recommend this for anyone!!"


"I was put on Bactrim DS twice a day for about 6 weeks. This was after being on doxycycline for about 4 months with disappointing results. My acne was cystic and mainly distributed across my back, neck, shoulders, and chest. This outbreak of acne started some time after I stopped hormonal oral BC and switched to Paragard. It also coincided with the start of treatment with lithium for bipolar disorder. The latter can exacerbate acne in those that are susceptible. Despite quitting it, the disaster continued. My derm put me on Bactrim DS twice a day for 6 weeks and to my amazement - this finally did the trick. My skin completely cleared! Highly recommended. No side effects but I took a probiotic with it. My skin has stayed mostly clear since."


"Diarrhea a side effect."


"I wish I could say the taste was the worst part. For me it was the two glasses of water you are required to drink after the first 16 ounces of Medicine. Apparently I drank it too fast as it bloated me up till I thought I would burst. Tried to burp but threw water up in my mouth. And like so many others here I am dreading the second dose at 2 a.m."


"Started taking the pills on Saturday on Tuesday I was down four lbs. My first three days I felt lightheaded and had headaches at night. I love this medicine I have no desire to eat. Now I can finally get rid of the carbs, and by my third month I hope I never go back to them."


"I have been on and off the ring for years I'd say at least 7yrs..from the time I was 18. The first few years it was great! No side effects. Everything else I had tried made me a psychopath. Fast forward to now I'm a different person. Mine and my husband's sex life is gone. Nonexistent. The dryness is terrible, breast tenderness almost daily. No weight gain or acne but I would trade that for my normal sex life back. Perfect birth control if you are forgetful but I'm to my limit on patience with it."


"This was a good drug for the first couple of years of taking it. Unfortunately, I did not consult my doctor before I stopped taking it.  Huge mistake!  I highly recommend seeing your doctor before you stop taking this. DO NOT quit cold turkey like I did.  I felt like I was going insane, had mood swings were horrible and couldn't sleep. "


"I have been using this gel for about 2 weeks now and have had nothing but positive results. I'm not exaggerating when I say this starting working on my skin immediately. I have been going through bad cystic acne breakouts and hormonal acne for the past two years now. Since I started using the differin, my breakouts are minimal with only one or two pimples but nothing like before. I was breaking out with 3-5 new pimples daily and the differin stopped that from happening immediately. I have extremely oily skin so the differin did not dry out my skin. I have also changed my face cleansing products and also changed my foundation at the same time. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who is at their wits end with adult acne."


"I have been on Victoza since Dec 2012. Lost 6kgs so far. I started off at 0.6, side effects not too bad. After 2 weeks increased to 1.2. For the past two weeks now I feel hungry and am afraid that once my body gets used to a higher dose I will not lose any more weight."


"I got the nexplanon 3 yrs ago and absolutely LOVE it. I have irregular periods but that's always been me so nothing new, I have no cramps what so ever and my periods is extremely light.  Today I got it removed and inserted again, which wasn't terrible just a slight burn and a pinch.  Let's see how the next 3 yrs go."


"Been on it for 6 weeks. Has helped stabilize my blood pressure and works well with the other blood pressure medicines I take. Side effect are dizziness - best taken at bedtime."


"I have had panic disorder since I was about 6. It came and went and has caused me severe avoidance issues throughout my life.  I have been taking Paxil for about 8 years and it has worked wonders. It has been awesome...until recently.  Within the last 4 months, it just seems to have quit working well. I am having severe attacks from time to time, but I am starting to avoid things/situations.  It did make me gain about 30 pounds. I tend to clench my jaws and I startle easily, but those are the only side effect I notice. My family and close friends say I am much more of a pleasure to be around while I am on it.  I am not a mean person nor have anger issues, but I am just not so anxious and uptight."


"Insertion of skyla was simple, though a little crampy, but the doctor has to clamp your cervix so of course that's not going to be comfortable. I only bled for that day and 1 day after and the cramps subsided after the first day. I've had skyla for about a month now and have had no problems with it. Surprisingly my last period happened right on schedule. I was on the pill for 5 years prior to Skyla and had never really had cramps due to that. Now that I'm not taking the pill my period cramps have been intense but I doubt it's due to the IUD. Other than the normal that-time-of-the-month cramps and bleeding, I've had neither spotting or random cramping. I would definitely recommend Skyla."


"I have been taking Tegretol for a couple of years and it really helps with my bipolar. I can notice a big difference compared to if I'm not taking it. I just don't like how it makes my head and tongue feel numb, but it's a small price to pay."


"My 8 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD when he started Kindergarten. It was horrible. His doctor put him on Focalin XR. It worked pretty good, it definitely calmed him down and helped him concentrate in class. But after a while I noticed his appetite decreased immensely and he started losing weight. So in April of 08` his doctor switched him to Vyvanse and it is amazing. His appetite is normal, he's doing very well in school, and he's making lots of friends. Our lives have changed for the better thanks to Vyvanse."


"Suffered from horrible cramping early in my menstruation (started age 11). To combat cramps and prevent pregnancy I have been on oral contraceptives for 11 years. Age 17-19 Ortho, 20 Loestrin, 21-29 Microgestrin. On this have had two very light periods with typical cramping every month for the past 7(ish) years (Which I didn't mind too much and my doctor said if I don't mind it isn't hurting me). My past two ovulation cycles have been ridiculously hormonal. I have never experienced anything like it before and am going to stop taking hormonal birth control and switch to IUD. I am not a crazy lady, it turned me into one."


"I took the pill within the 72 hour period  (I am a plus size woman, I don't see many reviews about PSWs and allegedly there's some weight limit to the pill), got my period about a week or two later and I haven't had my period for this month. The period I did have lasted about two or three days longer (about 8 days.) So I'm sure the pill works to a certain extent, I guess my period still needs to regulate. It's costly but effective."


"I have been taking Lamictal for only 1 month and I notice a huge difference. I am finding joy in the things that I couldn't for years. My patience is so much better and the outbursts of anger have stopped already. I only hope that I don't start experiencing the side effects that I have heard about."


Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IIa, Elevated LDL

"changed from Lipitor to Lipofen. My LDL was controlled, trigs was also good.

Best result is my HDL which was always below 40 for years increased to 48.

Have some concern about increase in creatine level."


"This has been my life saver.  I've been on this for 7 years or more.  I take 4500mg a day along with 600mg Lamictal a day. With each increase I have better control but this knocked me out when increased in larger increments. People say I look tired but I'm so used to it I don't notice.  Unfortunately I can't think straight.  My reading, comprehension, learning is shot.  I've been trying college for years, each increase brings better control. I wish I could stop the medication for a few days to see if there is another world out there but my brain gives me an unfortunate reminder if I'm late."


"Im 5'3 and tone easier than loose. So, I started taking Adipex t

As of today
4/29 at 167
So just in 1 weeks time I have lost 11 lbs.
I drink at least 64 oz of ice water a day, most the time I'm over 100 oz.
The first few days I did have dry mouth, but not so much anymore.
1200 cals is what I aim for but don't always get that many since I'm not hungry all the time anymore.

I've been working out 5 days a week at least 35 minutes. I just had an inguernal hernia surgery, I can only do cardio I do:
15 minutes on a cycling machine
10 minutes on a treadmill
5 minutes on the elliptical
(I push myself but this is my minimum)

I use the LIVESTRONG free app My Plate & I track EVERYTHING from my water, exercise, food & weight."


"Cleared my acne up so fast. Its nice. Other than that everything is going good except I'm turning into a grumpy person"


"At 29, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in my L4 and L5. Two years later, both have herniated and I also have a spinal tear. Vicodin worked until the disc's herniated, now only Percocet will do. I doesn't take away all the pain, but I can function and sleep with them. The only downfall is that you become resistant and have to increase the amount, dosage and frequency over time. This is something I'll deal with for life, and am concerned with addiction."


"I have been taking Buspar for over 2 years and have had a lot of success. Recently had to increase my dosage to 15mg twice a day as my anxiety started to increase this past summer for no apparent reason. I also take 60mg of Cymbalta every other day but think the Buspar is what really is working for me. I feel for all people that have issues with anxiety! It's the worst and horrible to go through. Hopefully Buspar will keep working for me."

"I started taking Flomax about 1-1/2 years ago after getting up 4 to 5 times per night to go to the bathroom. The results were fantastic. Unfortunately I am finding the effects of taking one 0.4mg pill once per day waning. May have to consider doubling dosage."


"It can cause serious drowsiness. consult doctor for change of dose if you experience drowsiness and feeling like sleepy all the time."


"I have joint and muscle pain form injury in arm and elbow area. It has helped me and should help others."


"FANTASTIC! Just wonderful, I take 75mg every night. I chew three 25s, I find this is more effective (although it leaves your tongue feeling funny) and I've been doing that for about 1 year now, and it just knocks me out! but I experience no trouble getting up 6-8 hour's later. I would highly recommend this to someone having trouble sleeping."


"I am so thrown off at how many positive reviews I have seen on this stuff, however I must have an insane Ph balance (causes amphetamines to become ineffective), but I do not see how it is possible to take the highest dose they provide and not even feel nothing... like I have not taken anything at all.... The other night I got so tired that I fell asleep without warning!"


"7 years ago..had a P E  ..immediately diagnosed with COPD   first  med was SYMBICORT and then added SPIRIVA.... Still on SYMBICORT, but now combined with TUDORZA      Amazing  results in a month...  SYMBICORT thins the skin and I bruise very easily...that would be my only issue..."


"Today is my 11th day on Accutane and I have already seen some major results. I had a small breakout the first couple of days, but now it has gotten so much better. I'm so happy because I finally have hope that my acne will go away. Because I don't even go out with friends anymore and everyone at school makes fun of my acne. Yes, its severe and I'm glad this is working. Side effects I have are dry lips and a little bit of back pain not much though. At school I am so ashamed of my face I try to hide it. All those who have severe acne you are not alone, I understand how you feel. "


"I started getting small bumps, (not exactly pimples, but should be taken care of immediately else it would grow into pimples later) on my forehead and chin areas. It started to spread in cheeks too. I first started using Retin-A cream. Initially I had lots of new breakouts, but didn't give up my patience. New breakouts started to fade out on continuous application at only nights after cleansing with Episoft lotion. After a month I started applying Retin-A, My skin texture, pimple marks, uneven skin tone has improved drastically. Only thing is use this product only at night after proper cleansing. Initially this will cause skin peeling and irritation. "


"I felt like a zombie while taking it. I tried it at different doses, different times and it never made any difference. Sure, the major mood swings were gone, but I stayed mostly sullen and indifferent. I have been off it and on Paxil for six months and I firmly believe the change gave me my life back."


"As far as I can remember I suffered from excessive sweating. I always had to sacrifice nice shirts for ones made from fabric the sweating wouldn't leave too much mark. Or on which wetness doesn't show. But well even changing around 5 times a day wasn't helping. Tried everything until someone told me about Drysol. I have to say, I started using it last night and after being up for 4 hours now, I'm still wearing the same shirt! Ok sweating starts to show but after only one use I have this result! Wow! Simply amazing. I wear a uniform at work and I was desperate to find a way to hide my excessive sweating. I think I wont have to worry about this anymore very soon!"


"I am 37, and weighed 254 lbs as of 9-23-15. I went to doctors to help with the weight loss as this is my biggest. I started Phentermine on 9-25-15. Today I am down to 244! I was amazed when I got on the scale. 3 days, 10 lbs! The first couple of days I had no appetite. I had slight headache. Other than that, I think it is good to go. We will see how 30 days do! Keep you posted!"


"I have been on birth control for over 16 years now.  I started with pills at 18 then Depo shot for 5 years, and now back to pills.  I was on Seasonique and was okay. I switched Gyno and to help with copay she recommended Jolessa.  I tried it and have been on it for almost 6 months now.  I have been PMS'ing since I started.  Breasts are constantly sore, severe mood swings, headaches and not to mention 10 pounds weight gain.  I have always exercised and eat right.  I am definitely switching!"


"I was on Paxil when I was 15. I think for about a year it was okay because of the numbness but soon you start feeling horrible because you have no feelings at all. You can't cry or nothing. I don't think its a good medicine for depression. I think it's better for social anxiety since there is no feeling at all. The other worst part was the weight gain. "


"I have had the absolutely worst time with this birth control. At first, I was on the original Seasonique - I had to switch to the Lo Seasonique because with the original, I had the worst cramping, moodiness, bleeding, ever. I thought the lower strength would be the perfect pill for me. Boy, was I ever wrong. I haven't had a regular period yet, and I have been taking this medication for over a year. I bleed an average of 21 days - I am period-free one week, and then have a full-brown cycle for five days. The 3-month period-free thing sounded so good - especially because I usually miss work or class because of horrible periods, but this was very counterproductive. I'm going to try the implant or go back to the regular pill."


"Didn't help with nausea, greatly intensified anger and depression. "


"I've taken Geodon for the past year and it's the best thing that has ever happened to me.  It gave me my life back.  I no longer bounce between mania and depression.  The best thing is that I can sleep at night.  I had never experienced a good night's sleep until this medicine was prescribed for me.  I didn't even know it.  While I do miss the mania, I feel much more stable and well.  I eventually got used to the drowsy feeling and it's mild now.  My only wish is that I didn't have to ingest the calories for it to work.  Sometime I would like to have a salad for dinner but can't because it's not enough calories.  That is my only complaint.  This is a great medication that changed my life for the better."


"I did 7 months of treatment then my Oncologist had to take me off due to Congestive Heart Failure. I personally don't think Herceptin contributed to it at all but was told it was the combo of it and Adryamyacin. It was pretty bad, my ejection fraction was down to 28. I was so short of breath that just walking to the bathroom was a real effort. The fatigue was the mind numbing kind that just turning over in bed felt like I had ran a race. As for side effects for the Herceptin, I had frequent nose bleeds, mild nausea and occasional headaches. I would have gladly endured any side effects for the benefits of this life-saving drug. I am so thankful to Dr Slamon for all the work he did and to Genetech. I am a 4 year survivor so I think that says it all."


"Hello Everyone

I am on week 5 of taking Contrave & as I have said in 2 previous I will do my best to take you along on this journey. I am down 16 lbs as of today. The very 1st thing that has to happen before taking this medication is you must change your mindset. If you are unwilling to do this I promise you everything else will be a epic failure. Allow yourself the chance to change & when you stumble just get back up. I have allowed myself the things I love but just not in any measure of extreme. So instead of having 6 cookies I may have 3. When I reached the stage of 2 & 2 I didn't like the side effects of nausea & headaches that lasted for hrs so rather than see this as a pitfall I went back to 1 & 1 and I'm still getting the same results."


"I was prescribed Spironolactone for my "adult" acne. I am now 21 years old. I've been on the medication for a little over 7 months now. Although my acne has mostly subsided, the symptoms were NOT AT ALL WORTH IT. From the first month, I experienced abnormal bleeding and spotting. I expected this since my doctor told me it's normal to happen for the first 3 months. Thing is, it never stopped. It's now been 7 months and I still wake up, peeing dark brown blood. I actually urinate quite often now as it is considered a 'water pill'. I've also gained about 10 pounds and my whole body feels swollen and bloated. I experienced intense pain in my ovaries and it was painful to have intercourse- I saw the gynecologist and the ultrasound was clear. She told me that Spironolactone could be the cause, as it has been reported before. My dermatologist never told me any of this. She actually told me I could be on it for the rest of my life without any problems and it's only been about 7 months and I'm in hell. I scheduled to see a different dermatologist today. DO NOT recommend this in the least."


"I've been taking MS 30mg T.I.D. For 4 months for my migraine pain with Tylenol 3 for breakthrough relief. Migraines are starting to come back not sure what other options I have as IR pain meds are not an option as my migraines are to frequent and I risk becoming addicted."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Before using the stuff, I read a bunch of reviews.
 Cool the prep and mixing water,  room temp water for the 2 glass 16 oz followers. Drink it fast, wait about 10 minutes and then a lot of visits to the WC. Have a new roll of paper. Do it again as prescribed and that is it. It worked much better than the older stuff. After about 2 1/2 hours, the show was over each time. No cramps, headaches, vomit, etc. Just a some what unpleasant 2 days."


"Last night was my fifth time taking Rozerem.  I take it around 9pm and am still awake until my normal time of 3-4am.  I did not feel sleepy at all. "


"It was really effective. It took only about 5 minutes before my blocked nose started to clear up."


"Was prescribed this pill for PCOS and acne. Read the reviews and was very nervous but decided to try it regardless. Within 3 days of taking this I had horrific nightmares and nightsweats, heart palpitations, and the worst constant anxiety of my life. Everyone reacts differently, but if you are prone to anxiety I highly suggest not trying this pill. You will regret it."


"I had strep throat and it knocked the strep out easily, but caused severe diarrhea"


"Was having some trouble with the pill i was on for a year and switched to the shot.  The first three months were great! No weight gain/acne and I felt great. After about two and a half months, I began to start bleeding and having severe cramps, so much so I could not stand up straight. At the height of my cramps, I discovered my body had shed my entire uterine lining at one time and it was the most frightening and gross thing I had seen. After the three months had finished, I had my period for seven weeks and am finally back on my regular schedule! Never again will I use this shot!"


"Started off loving this form of bc. Had a period about a week after insertion and then nothing for about 5 months.  My face cleared up (Also seeing a dermatologist) and not thinking about taking a pill daily was great.  After 5 months I started noticing spotting more.  A day here and there nothing major.  Then every other week I started having periods and they became longer and heavier each time. My acne was back constantly and my dermatologist pretty much said she was out of options for me.  I became very irritable and hateful towards everyone.  Didn't want to do anything but sleep and cried a lot.  My ob believes I was in a constant state of pms and we decided it was best that I get it removed.  Feeling better already!"


"I was prescribed Bactrim and Keflex to treat an traumatic force injury to my shin which a month later turned into a bacterial type infection. I was on these 2 anitbiotics for 3 doses (100 mg Bactrim) and I got small spots of hive-like bumps under both forearms, on my hand, and on the backside of the injured shin. They took me off those antibiotics and without taking any other medicines yet that day, approximately 8 hrs later I looked like I had the chicken pox. It's Day 3 after stopping Bactrim and I'm just starting to get some relief from the intense itching ( I did have a steroid IV today to try to help this)."


"Had horrible side effects from Lialda and sulfasalazine, and no response from enemas incl cortifoam. On day 4 of bud and see no relief from urgency, blood or mucous. I was told to take one 3 mg/ day even tho Uceris script for 9mg. Will check with MD when they open. Uceris after insurance was $1,000. Generic was $250--which I thought was better, but not if I have to take 3 pills /day instead of one!! How does anyone find this affordable?"


"I have been taking citalopram for 2 months now, it started to work with me almost immediately. I think in hind sight I had been depressed for years, but was always very cynical of taking antidepressants, having put on a brave face to the world for so many years, then my brother committed suicide last year and I finally broke. I stopped going out, making excuses to not see people, cried constantly and couldn't handle anything even minutely stressful. Spent most days in bed not seeing anyone, my doctor put me onto 20mgs and the difference in me has been life changing, I had no side effects whatsoever and I'm so happy and able to cope again. Also like somebody else on here mentioned, I like the fact that I'm not completely void of emotion."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I'm currently on day 11 of Prevpac. I was very nervous about taking it after reading horror stories online. The first day I was very nauseous after taking it in the morning. That afternoon I purchased some probiotics and they have been a huge help! My only side effect is a bad taste in my mouth but chewing gum helps with that! I feel great now but I'm excited to be done with the meds in three days. I've been having stomach issues for 3 years with no definite answer until finally a doctor tested me for H.Pylori and it came back positive. Prevpac really isn't that bad. I highly recommend taking probiotics though!"


"I have been on the NuvaRing for almost 6 years, I decided to try it due to the fact that I had a hard time remembering to take the pill every day. I absolutely love the ring and have recommended it to most of my friends. What first was initially hard for me was remembering what day and how many weeks it was in, I found an app for my phone which helped tremendously. The pros are definitely that you don't have to take it every day and it's comfortable, I sometimes forget that it is there. Cons would have to be the decrease in sex drive but a little exercise helps with that. I've had no pregnancy scares or break through bleeding. All in all the ring beats the pill and the Depo shot."


"I had a great experience with Mirena 3 years already everything going great in the first 2 weeks I felt a little bit uncomfortable and after 5 months my period is gone completely but it doesn't cause me any discomfort I really recommend it"


"As advised by doctor take with probiotics - took one pill 830 (1/2) apart then around 1100 started throwing up for over an our then got diarrhea - guess I didn't have enough food on stomach - will not complete dosage."


"UPDATE: I originally posted on Nov 16th 2010 that on Jan 3rd 2011 will be 3 YEARS CLEAN. WELL I MADE IT!

No relapses. Not one OPIATE has passed through these lips since I started on the Suboxone. And I no longer have to LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, and MANIPULATE  my family and friends to support a 30-50 pills/day Vicidon ES habit. If you're on the fence about Suboxone take the leap....you'll have nothing to regret. You'll be able to mend your mind and your soul and your relationships and get YOUR LIFE BACK."


"This literally changed my life. I can now wear colorful shirts without worrying about sweat stains. It worked after the first application. My doctor said I'd experience "mild itching" and I wish she would've been more truthful and said "practically unbearable itching" but the longer I use this medicine, the less I itch. I don't itch at all anymore when I put it on. If I use it daily, I get a dry, painful rash in my underarms so I use it every other or every 2 days."


"I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees, and arthritis in my back, and shoulders. My doctor prescribed Voltaren because I built up a resistance to ibuprofen and Aleve. I've been in pain for so long I forgot what it was like to be pain free. A little nervous over the long term side effects, so hoping I can get the weight off so I can be medication free. Just thankful to be able to move and do things I love without pain."


"Been on SJW over 2 weeks now, for depression, still anger, arguing, sullen.  I'm afraid that I am just a bad person and this can't help.  I've been on Cipralex for over 7 years, put on too much weight so gradually reduced them from 20mg, to 15mg ,to 10mg ,to 5mg, then down to 2.5mg, and still felt good.  My reductions carefully spread out over 5 months--- doc said " well if you are down to 2.5mg just stop cold turkey as that's a nothing dose". I believed him and stopped. That was 5 weeks ago and ALL MY DEPRESSION has come back even worse--crying nonstop , confrontational about everything, arguing, swearing under my breath when I have never sworn before, which made me turn to SJW, but they are not working for me as they seem to be doing for everyone else."


"Started it in March 2015 . Decreases my appetite , withdrawal over 3 days ..terrible . Feels like my head is swimming . Sense of well being has noticeably improved ."


"taking to lower LDL cholesterol effective, but many other benefits, chronic back pain gone, dry eyes from contacts gone, and mood elevation, pleasant to take"


"I chose this also to lessen periods. Inserted March 2015. I'm 47, have had no children & have a womb which tilts towards my back Insertion was horrendous & as I have arthritis, I'm used to pain. Severe cramping afterwards, eased after a few days. Ocasional cramps since. First month very light period nothing since - that's the good news for me! I've been on the mini-pill before & had bad side effects. No greasy hair/skin, no mood swings/low libido/insomnia, but the weight gain has been rapid. I've gone from a uk 14 to a 16/18 without changing my eating habits or levels of physical activity. It seems to be concentrated around the stomach. I'm now obese & struggling to find a strategy to lose the weight. Advantages outway weight gain for now."


"I originally tried Zanaflex 4 mg after a whiplash and it didn't help. Later I still had some and accidentally took it one time and it worked. Now I take the 6mg capsule as needed for muscle spasm and it has worked better for me than Flexeril, Soma, Robaxin and several others."


"I discourage anyone who has suffered from depression from using this product. Originally I chose Implanon to substitute my inability to regularly take the pill.  In the first month, my breasts jumped a cup size, my skin suffered marginally, sex drive was still strong and weight gain was not an issue.  However after 3 months I noticed that I was continually feeling down.  I was lethargic, unmotivated, crying unpredictably, and had thoughts of suicide (8 occasions).  I have previously been diagnosed as manic depressive, and thus strongly recommend if you are considering this contraceptive form, PLEASE discuss Implanon and mental health with your doctor (AND if they are dismissive, find another doctor)."


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


"I had been backed up literally for a year. Little drubs and drabs finally resorting to medical marijuana for pain, which did not work for my back pain, but somewhat stimulated my bowels not nearly as needed though just enough to break the agony. Was prescribed Movantik 25mg the first day I called 911 I thought something was severely wrong, it was the medicine doing it's job.  after what seemed to be hours  I was done until the next day and still pretty much the entire month. The 25mg was too strong so I take 12.5 It took a good month to finally adjust. Yes it hurt at first my bm was hard as a rock, but but after all is said and done I have a normal life, I can eat now too!  Oh I am on 60 mg methadone 30mg hydro codons. Good Luck, it works."


"I was prescibed with this prior to needle surgery for my lower back. Now I have been referred by that doctor to a pain center and have been scheduled for that type of ambulatory surgery on my neck. I was in an car accident that I had a crushing injury to my neck. Later I was rammed into by another car and had whiplash. My lower back had Lamitory surgery that left my left leg with a fairly numb left leg that occasionally had shooting pains. The shooting pains have been helped and the feeling of pains and needles feeling has been greatly reduced too in that leg and foot. I am taking 300mg tablets. It does have a side effects of drowsiness, a clumsy effect, but the sleep I get is wonderful. Standard pain reducers where highly ineffective"


"I started on 10 mg of Prozac for 6 months.  After 5 mos I noticed getting agitated and very angry at my past childhood traumas, ruminating again and wanting to change my family name.  It got so bad that I went up in dose and now I feel it doesn't matter as much.  I am positive, sleep like a baby, have energy and enthusiasm."


"I was prescribed Klonopin for anxiety several months ago. The dose was 0.5 mg up to twice daily.  Never having had it, I quartered a 0.5 mg tablet first dose. Seemed okay until a few hours later and I began coughing like mad. I have asthma.  Klonopin made me cough and increased the thickness of the mucus in my lungs until it was almost impossible to cough it up.  Just to be SURE it was the Klonopin and not something else, I have given it two other tries 1/4 of a 0.5 mg tablet.  Each time the same results.  I looked it up and "cough" is the 2nd most common side effect. FYI Naproxen and ibuprofen have the same effect on me."


"Temazepam 30 mg works great, 5 hours of good sleep.  Don't waste your money on Belsomra 20mg.  It don't work at all."


"I have used this product for the past three years without issue until the last few weeks when the site where patch was applied became itchy. As time has gone by in few weeks time, the skin underneath gets extremely itchy. I removed it and the skin underneath was left raised, purple, and with peeling skin. It has been 2 weeks and my skin is still purple and the skin has not healed. I tried it on my back and yet again the same thing. I have a red square with leatherlike skin.  I ad to call my obgyn and ask to be changed to another product. I can't walk around with damaged skin. Hoping that eventually the skin will heal. Horrible product!"


"I was told by psychologist I scored highest she has ever seen for adhd and doctor put me on 30mg and it does nothing.  I don't want an increased dose of this med i want something else.  Waste of my time."


"I'm a 26 yr old Female adult, sexually active and never been pregnant. I've had the Skylla for 5 days now and I think it might be the one! Of course we'll have to see how well we hold out long term but so far so good!

The install was quick and nearly painless. I was on my last day of my period so my cervix was just barely still open ( luckily!). After the pap smear feel of them cleaning off lingering blood from my period, there was only the two instances of cramp ( mild period level cramps) pain. First when they measured my cervix and again when installed. All i did was breathe and concentrate on relaxing and it was easy as pie. So far no addit. spotting and mild to no cramping. I'll update after a few months!"


"I have been using Kadian for over 7 years. They started me out on several lower dose type of pain control. None of them even touched the pain. I got a spinal implant and after 2 years of adjusting it they simply gave up. Now it sits in my butt and does nothing (except set-off metal detectors). They finally started Kadian and over the years they have had to up the dose. I'm currently at 600mg - 3 X 200mg capsules once a day.
It doesn't remove the pain but keeps it just below the surface so I can still get around. It's expensive and we had problems with the insurance company not wanting to pay for it but my doctor called them and somehow got them to change their policy. Thank God for that. Without this medicine all I can do is lay on my back."


"I was 20 when I started staking Strattera. As far as focusing yes, I was completely focused and motivated all day! If I was sitting still I would have to pull out my phone and play a game to keep my mind moving. However the side effects were absolutely terrible! I was constantly sweating and if I wasn't sweating I had chills! I began suffering from insomnia. I have constant dry mouth and headaches. The worst side effect by far was what it did to my menstrual cycle. It gave me a EXTREMELY heavy and very crampy cycle. It also made my very regular cycle completely irregular. The side effects made it not worth it at all."


"My Implanon was inserted 4 months ago. At first I loved it. It was practically painless to have put in, I did have a little bleeding but not much, no weight gain at all. However, in the last month or two, I have had serious mood swings, crying spells, and have been extremely sad. I thought this may have been due to stress, but after reading many of these reviews I feel my moods may be due to the Implanon. They are unbearable. I am sick of being sad all the time and it is causing problems with my relationship with my boyfriend. Besides the major mood changes, Implanon was good for me."


"This is my personal experience of Suboxone. Now 54, been an addict on heroin until a year ago, done 3 detox clinics absolute no luck but learnt a lot from them. Don't knock it but as for Suboxone I honestly thought I would not see change but wow it kills cravings and the lot. Was an addict for ages and this has totally changed my life. What more can I say. Get on it people before you lose everything like I did. "


"I've had the Mirena for about 5 months now and I'm still not sold on it.  The pain during insertion was high and I had horrible cramping for the next few days.  My periods are about a week and a half long, granted it is light and is more like spotting but it's real inconvenient.  I still get pretty bad cramps accompanied with it too.  You're told to give it about 6 months to let your body adjust to it so I'm hoping it gets better."


"I've had hayfever for over a decade now and every summer I have suffered very badly with it, I had tried everything from pharmacy to natural remedies which weren't helping and every year my summers would be ruined due to being ill with it constantly but I recently got given nasonex by my doctor and within 2 days I had no hayfever symptoms and haven't now for over 3 weeks since I've had it although the pollen count has been high throughout, very grateful for this product."


"the drug made me very nauseous and gave me headaches this is my third day and I take it twice a day for 7 days. I can't wait until I'm done with this it has an awful taste and make me feel really awful."


"I had the same appetite and weight that I had when I didn't use belviq. It is expensive and it didnt work at all for me, I was still hungry just like before. I don't recommend it"


"I got mine in August 8th, 2014. For the two months following I had a normal period, but then it started to become heavier and would last almost 2 weeks, and I would have a week before it would start up again. My doctor prescribed me these hormonal pills, which helped regulate it but after I ran out of the pills I was irregular, but it wasn't as heavy. Now, a year later, I have a period every 3 weeks for 3-5 days, and its super light. No weight gain, no acne, not pregnant which is so nice not to worry about. But my only problem is that I get an awkward like 2 day period the day after I have sex. Which is the exact reason I came on here was to see if anyone else had the same problem."


"I have been taking this medicine for more that 5 years and works perfect for me!"


"I've been taking concerta for close to 15 years now since I was diagnosed at age 3. Around 8th grade I had started getting pain in my chest which was similar to costo condritis. The pain got increasingly worse up through highschool and the beginning of college around age 18 when it stopped affecting me as much. Now I'm 21 years old (as of the 12th this month) and for the past years I've been noticing that I've been getting increasingly anxious and worrying more than usual. In the past 5years on a daily 63 mg dose I've been dealing with depression, anxiety, nightmares, insomnia, loss of appetite, and I've lost 30lbs due to that. It's effective, but at a price, sometimes one you can't afford."


"I had first infusion with no problems during administration but 2 weeks after I had to go to the E.R. with a heart arrhythmia and had to have my heart shocked back into normal rhythm. Two days later had second infusion with no problems during administration. 2 weeks later same thing...back to the E.R....heart shocked back into rhythm . Heart rate was stuck at 150 bpm. Had to be put in hospital for 4 days to be given an anti - arrhythmic drug that can also cause a fatal arrhythmia. So I would be cautious if you have any type of heart problem prior to taking Rituxan. I will not ever take it again."
