"I have been on this birth control for maybe going on my third month. So far I have more positives than negatives. I have barely had any acne at all, maybe one here and there. I'm not very emotional either. Before I began taking Sprintec I always had horrifying cramps at the beginning of my period each month, now I barely have any at all. The worst part about this birth control for me is that I've gained 20 pounds and it is noticeable."


"Have been taking for 13 years. Have been seizure free. It has changed my life. Only side effect I've noticed is a little more tired than normal. Only sometimes. Other than that good to go!"


"I was having severe leg pain which I am not sure what it was caused by but I do have Fibromyalgia.  I took the Mobic and within about 2 hours, the pain was drastically reduced."


"Pros: Did not get pregnant. Not very painful (removal kind of sucked).

Cons: Minor acne at the beginning of implant. General feeling of depression/moodiness (Admittedly this was WAY worse when I took Orth Tri Low dosage). Weight gain (Take this with a grain of salt - I was not watching my eating habits at all in 2015). Constant bleeding (maybe 2 days a month I wasn't bleeding).

Duration: April 2015-January 19, 2016 (9 months)

I had it removed because I couldn't deal with the bleeding and moodiness. Everybody reacts differently, but it was just not worth it for me."


"I took the pill before so I decided to try the same one again since it worked really well for me before. I have been on it for about 3 weeks this time and I feel great. A little sore but lil bit bigger boobs, slight nausea but eating fixes it, less appetite, a couple tiny headaches and some cramps for two days in the first week but nothing after that, spotting for two weeks straight basically but very light, skin already looks clearer I think, more energy. I think my hormones were messed up from stress and messing with my skin and cycle. I'm hoping that it continues to get better with this pill."


"Holy cow. I cannot even begin to describe the pain I'm in. I am 10 weeks pregnant and used night one of the 3 day pack and immediately after using the first dose I was in pain. The burning and itching was so bad i tried to wipe as much as I could out. Laid spred eagle in front of my box fan for relief but it didn't work. Currently in a cold bath trying to making the burning stop!!!! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND"


"Although the medication did effectively treat my cancer the side effects were so severe that I decided to discontinue use of the drug and try an alternate treatment"


"I am taking keflex to keep from getting an infection for surgery that I had. The doctor had me start taking it one day before surgery and now I am on day twelve. Tomorrow is my last dose. I am having headaches and pain behind one eye. I am hoping the headaches will stop after tomorrow when I take my last dose. The eye pain started yesterday.  I'm looking forward to being done with the medication. I'm not a fan of antibiotics and 3 a day for 13 days, in my opinion, is a lot. I have heard it can be bad for the liver and kidney. Does anyone else experience headaches from this medication?"


"I have been using Claravis (40mg) for 15 days now, and the last 2 days I have been noticing very dry skin, my face is peeling and my lips are cracked, my doctor gave me CortiBalm for my lips and it has helped me tons, also she told me to use oil-free lotion on my face and I have been using Purpose Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 from Johnson & Johnson, really helped me too! I am 27 years old and for the past year I developed really bad acne, nothing has helped me, but this seems to be helping me because I have already seen improvement with only 15 days. 2 of my friends used it and after the 5 months of use, they never had breakouts again, I am looking forward to a life like that. Good luck to all of us!"


"I've never taken this product before, but I think it worked great based on where I was in my cycle.  Took Plan B 9 days into my cycle, 30 minutes after a condom broke with my partner.  I took the pill with a piece of toast and a large glass of water, only experiencing very slight nausea which could have been in part to nerves.  I experienced some breast tenderness on and off throughout the month and changes in discharge that were different than normal, but nothing alarming.  Today, on day 28, my period has started, just a day or two earlier than normal with some light spotting as is usual for me.  I am satisfied with my experience with this product and am very grateful to have it as an option in the event that my other birth control fails."


"I have found this medication has done wonders on my cough since I have been taking it and nothing else seem to work as well"


"I tried Hytrin,Flomax then Hytrin again then I tried Silodyx which works well except that no semen is ejaculated- sex is normal with shorter orgasms - it's totally unmessy so my wife is happy!"


"My parents recently divorced. I had just moved. Life was a mess, smoking/pot everyday. I didn't see a future and that made me unhappy. I took a year off school to put my life back together, and am using wellbutrin as a tool to do so. I'm on at 300mg generic. I think the wellbutrin makes you look in a different perspective. Hard to explain, but I saw how far in a hole I was and what I need to do to get to the happiness I wanted. This new light and I've been taking each day as a mission to reach it. I assume this is where the ADHD effect comes into play. Careful with alcohol though Wellbutrin combo makes you do stupid things. And pot is scary.. trust me! but allowed me to stop smoking and begin a new journey to a great future. Hopefully :)"


"I have been on 100 mg daily for 12 years and have had fairly controlled symptoms compared to others I know with Fibromyalgia.  I am increasing my dose to 200 mg daily to help control my anxiety and insomnia.  Savella has been a life saver for me!"


"I've never really been a pill taker but after 2 kids and heavy flow I decided to take something and this is what the doctor gave me.  My legs and arms fall to sleep my vision is blurred I have terrible headaches and my mom is crazy.  How can you take this mess with kids and still be able to function.  Needless to say I will stop taking them!"


"I absolutely love this drug!  I hated taking my subs and this is hands down 100% easier to take.  It does take some getting used to that gummy feeling on my cheek but I don't even notice it now."


"Good relief without being too wiped out"


"I have had Implanon for almost three years, it has worked amazing for me. I didn't have to worry about taking a pill everyday or remembering to take a ring out ever three weeks and put it back in a week later. I have had an amazing experience with this birth control and plan to get a new one soon."


"I have been on all kinds of pain medicines and have had injections in my spine and hip to help relieve the pain from my arthritis, but nothing has worked as good as this. I know there are risks with this medicine, but for the relief I got, the benefits more than outway the risk. This stuff works."


"I took 2 Bonine tablets (1-2 tabs recommended on label) and felt ok - was able to
drive and go to places.  Took another one before bed and I overslept only to wake up with a heavy headedness, like I was on antidepressants. Did not like the feeling and did not want to go driving under these conditions."


"I have been using this cream on the front of my ear for a week. There is swelling itching crusting and so much oozing it will drip down my face. Around day 5 I started feeling tired and weak. Then day 6 and 7 I have felt like I have the flu..I feel awful. Lymph nodes seem swollen and throat is sore.  My lower back hurt as well one day but not everyday. I was worried the fluid dripped down into my ear canal. My doctor told me to stop using it and come back to see him in 3 wks.."


"I am currently on 225mg and soon to be bumped up to 300mg, it worked for while but at this time and point I don't feel it is doing as much for me, I don't know why but I feel as if I have built an immunity to it, but this could just be me being crazy Ol me"


"I have used several different antidepressants and this is the best so far.  I have more energy(still not much), sleep better and fewer thoughts of suicide."


"I have been taking this medicine now for over 13 years. I used to take as much as 9 #4 a day.  I now take only 4 pills a day.  I get very bad pains in my feet because of being a diabetic,  I have stopped getting pain by not waiting until the pain starts.  It helps me sleep and most of the time it prevents the pain from starting. "


"It works.  I always take Bayer when I have a headache, and it always works.  I took store brand aspirin for four days battling a headache, and it just DID NOT work at ALL.  Popped two expired Bayer today and they still worked like magic on both my back pain from menstruation and the headache I haven't been able to get over.  I feel so much better that I literally went online to write a review about it.  If that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will.  Try it, it works."


"I am with this medication for 2 months in 1600mg twice a day I don't feel it help me and I have a lot of side  effect like headache, hot red flashes on my face, eyes, pain in my legs, arms sometimes diarrhea, less appetite. I hope continuing this medicine improve my breathe because I'm not ok right now. I'm taking adcirca and( nitric oxide this is a study).."


"I just started taking Adipex. I think so far it's helping me a ton, I'm on 1000 calorie diet plus Adipex. I'm working out every day, this is my 5th day and I already lost 6 pounds. Adipex seems to be helping me from over eating, it seems to be helping me curb my cravings. I have no craving for sweets of any kind, so far so good."


"I have been using this birth control for 4 months now, I didn't have any side affects with this pill. My period is lighter and with inactive pills my period start after 3 pills. Before this birth control my doctor gave me a less estrogen birth control and that was my first birth control and I bleed it non stop for a month, I did not want to continue so my doctor recommend to try birth control with mid level estrogen it ortho cyclen and I highly recommend it."


"I have been on this birth control for 4 months. I noticed severe side effects almost instantly, but decided to give it some time to work through my body. I have experienced EXTREME mood issues, panic attacks, cramping, fatigue, restlessness, no sex drive, and also terrible acne mostly along my jaw line and my shoulders. It's embarrassing. I am discontinuing the use of this birth control. I cannot continue to be an emotional mess. I want my happy self back again. I am sick of being overly paranoid, depressed, and angry. My boyfriend doesnt understand what this drug is doing to me and just thinks im "crazy", but im not. :( this drug is awful."


"This medicine caused vomiting for me, whether my stomach was empty or not. I wish I could tolerate it, because it's a good treatment, but for those who are sensitive, this is not a good medicine."


"I have been on Citalopram for 5 years now. It works so well I am not planning to come off it ever. The Dr even suggested if I feel good on it, why come off ever, as he said no long term harm. So what if I'm addicted to it. Without it I was way worse. Yes, it doesn't fix your anxiety, but it certainly reduces 90% of it thus making life much better. Alprazolam or Valium is also taken too as needed every so often. NHS Drs don't like giving those though, but insist... I have managed to get married, buy a house, run a business, and deal with life. Before, I could hardly get out of bed. Yes, some days are not perfect, but overall, it's the best med out there for long term use without crazy side effects."


"I have peripheral neuropathy and very bad pain in my back.  Cymbalta made a huge improvement in my pain level.  The doctor started me gradually to lessen the nausea.  I have worked up to 30 mg. twice a day for a total of 60 mg.  I have been taking it for 3 months and still find the pain level, and my frame of mind, much improved.  I do have slight nausea occasionally, and dry mouth.  The excessive sweating has gone away."


"I have been on Losartan with Atenolol for 6 1/2 years after triple bypass surgery.  With proper eating and exercise, the results have been very good.  My blood pressure is well maintained in the 120/130 over 64/76 range.  I am 69 years old and find that low sodium diet and limited meats, along with walking exercise is an excellent combination. GET THE WEIGHT OFF AND START WALKING 30 to 40 minutes and cut the TV off!"


"This medicine changed, on a fundamental level, my quality of life.  I went from nearly always being out of breath due to asthma to practically never needing a rescue inhaler.  It made my asthma vanish."


"This is my second time around. I am on Day 10 of a 14-day regime; then steroid cream for another 14 days. I am in excuciating pain and I look horrific. I know it's a good thing but it is so painful. I wanted to write here to help encourage others; I found this site because I needed encouragement. I use a dish towel with fringe to flap against my face and that's the only relief I get. I forget how awful I look until I catch myself in a mirror."


"I'm just going to start by saying that I was one of those people who promised that I would do review if this worked. Fortunately for me, it did. Me and this chick I was seeing decided to hook up one day (May 9th) and we had unprotected sex (DUMB), I can honestly say that I didn't finish inside of her but I know there is ALWAYS a possibility of pregnancy with unprotected sex. So I went to the pharmacy store (May 10th) the next morning and got her plan B within 20 hrs. After 8 dreaded long days of waiting she finally had her period (May 17th). Guys, use protection. It only takes a second to put on a condom, it takes a lifetime to raise a child. All I can say is relax and let the pill do what it's supposed to, and hope for the best."


"I started off with having a yeast infection and I tried treating it as such. Then I got symptoms of a UTI. Horrible burning, itchy sensation. I started taking Cipro on Friday, 2 days ago, and I'm still having issues. I don't know if it's working or not because just when I think it's getting better then blood will show up and I don't think it's menstrual blood. I'll probably have to go back to the doctor at some point. And now my labia hurts, I'm walking funny and freaking ashamed to go out of my room!! This is awful!!"


"I am 16 and have had a yeast infection before and used the gel medication from Monistat and it worked perfectly. Last night, I used the ovule one and the pain woke me up from sleep, burning so bad it hurts to move. I do not reccomend this. Some people seem to have good experiences but in my opinion, it isn't worth the risk. This sucks so bad."


"Why does the medical community not widely suggest this medicine to women who are suffering from disabling hot flashes & not sleeping? I went to my gyn and I was told that my options were hormones, antidepressants or gabapentin. None of these were acceptable for me for various reasons. I went to my general dr who saw how serious my symptoms were and he prescribed this. I take 0.05 in the he morning and 0.05 before bed. The first night I took it I slept like a baby (something I have not done for nearly a year) and I didn't have one single flash all night! I got past the dry mouth and drowsiness and now I have no side effects and I'm my old self again. This saved my sanity and gave me my life back!"


"My seven year old boy started Daytrana patch 10mg one month ago, for his ADHD. There has been almost immediate improvement. He became focused, talks less to imaginary friends and is actually learning in school. I was terrified to start him on drugs but it came down to what was important my fear of drugs or his well being. The patch works well for him, no side effects observed and hopefully we keep him on the lowest dose available."


"I've been on Orsythia for one year and it's been a breeze. Zero side effects -- literally zero. You will find a plethora of horrible reviews for this pill, which is actually what spurred me to write this positive one. Remember that people that are content with their pill don't always think to write a review, I didnt! I've had no acne, no weight gain, no mood swings, no pain, short and light periods, no spotting, and NO PREGNANCIES. Give it a try, everyone's bodies are different. Just because other people have had a bad experience with a medication doesnt mean it will happen to you!"


"I got type 2 diabetes at a very young age and tried all the regular stuff - metformin and victoza but It made me sick and sleepy at work! I had heard about this new pill with invokana and had my doctor prescribing me it and get more information on their care program. I've never felt more better I lost around 55 pounds and feel amazing I highly recommend, besides a few minor side effects I wouldn't change it for the world!!!!"


"Had virtually no pain or swelling anymore. Used with combination of Humira. Had to come off, unfortunately due to gut and intestinal issues getting severe. Did help my RA more than any other medication so far, but too many gut issues."


"I went off this at 14 days but was ready at day 5. I had heart palpitations high b/p 188/118 and emotional swings that were very frightening. I would jump from rage to deep dark depression. Light sensitive, total basket case. I was so revved up I felt like I was on a bad steroid. Really ready for a stroke or heart attack. My attention span was 0, short term memory 1. Awful stuff doc was not validating my sides, made up every excuse in the book that made me feel worse to keep me on med...Comments like maybe you are bi polar, really at 63 I think I would know. Idiots and that's a doc I used to really trust and respected. Would like to cure the virus I had over 40 yrs but at what expense? Torture. and now my liver hurts never did before."


"hi / i started the pills on tuesday, 26 april 2016 / i have read all the reviews and no one said that you should only be on the medication for 30 days / then off / my doctor told me that I could use it again after 6 months / so twice a year / also, before he would give me the script I had to have an ekg / which I had / I do not think much of your doctors if they did not give you the ekg / I have lost 7 lbs so far / I do not eat after 6 pm and only drink milk or water"


"Man I hate big pharma. I have also worked in the field of psychiatry as a pych tech for 20 years . I was diagnosed with Bipolar I at 43 I am now 53.
I have tried so many rubbish meds, valium , amphetamines, methamphetamines ( legal desoxsyn) all kinds of mood stabilizers all of these med were horrible. I go tired of pills . I quit taking all my meds except and antidepressant. I have a bad back sciatic nerve issue that flared back up due to compressed disk. It is very very panful. I started taking this medication. After 4 days I noticed that I was calmer, less anxious. more focused less racing thoughts, more confidence for sure, talking to peeps feeling good about  making jokes etc.much less depressed!!!"


"What a horrible experience! All this medicine did was paralyze me and cause the worst nightmares I have had in long time. It in no way helped me fall asleep faster. Now today, I feel like a Zombie. I kept waking up last night to the feeling of figures in my room and I could not move. What a waste of money. Now that I am reading up on it I wish I would have never taken it. I'm going to stay away from my car today."


"I took Seasonique for only two weeks, but I quit because of the severe and immediate mood changes I experienced while on it.  I have an anxiety disorder, and when I started taking Seasonique, I started feeling more irritated/anxious.  After that, my mood plummeted into a depression.  I felt like crying or screaming all the time.  I also developed acne, breast tenderness, and extreme bloating.  When I stopped the pill, I started a period even though I had a period two weeks prior.  When I stopped taking Seasonique, my mood improved.  I have taken the pill before and never had this reaction.  I am now going to get the Mirena IUD to treat my endometriosis/adenomyosis."


"Been on this med for about 6 days now. I definitely notice that I feel better. I have taken Zoloft, celexa, and viibryd. Viibryd was the only one that actually seemed to help me but the effects wore off after a few months. Wellbutrin has by far been the most effective."


"While on Lexapro, I had the best and worst times of my life. I switched to Lexapro from Paxil in college and it made an immediate difference -- no more brain fog or fatigue, and all the anxiety fighting effects. I was very happy and able to deal with the high stress of superior achievement in a difficult major. However, one night I had too much to drink (not high enough BAC for alcohol poisioning, just more than I was used to) and woke up the next morning a fearful, panicked, and emotional wreck. That was over 2 and 1/2 yrs ago and I am still not the same person I used to be. I can't say for sure that the Lexapro and the alcohol caused this major change in me, but my time on Lexapro has certainly shown me the polar opposites of my life."


"I started taking Belviq 2 and a half weeks ago, and I have already lost 17 pounds! I know that sounds like an unhealthy amount in such a short time, but I am sure to eat between 1200-1400 calories a day -I have just eliminated all processed foods and try to eat as much protein as possible. I have always enjoyed lifting weights and going to the gym, so I continue to do that 5 days a week. Now, my appetite is under control with Belviq so I don't eat back all the calories I burned with exercise.

As far as side effects, I did have a headache for the first two days. It makes my body feel tired, but not like a sleepy tired. I'm hoping that goes away soon, but it's not debilitating to the point I can't accomplish daily tasks."


"I do not review drugs, clothing, or other various items whatsoever. However, looking at these reviews I became more sane, so I hope I can give that to the person who is stumbling across success stories for plan b. The day of Valentine's Day I had unprotected sex, twice. The next morning- hungover and regretful, I bought and consumed plan b 13 hours later. I started going insane, even to the point I looking at abortion options. Spoiler alert: I just got my period this morning. Let this pill do the work it's suppose to. I know you are stressed but sitting there stressed might alter the timing of your period. Symptoms very within each person. I had very tender breasts and my cramps intensified during my period. I hope this eases some stress"


"Just started taking this for depression/anxiety, so far, so good. The first few days, I could definitely feel the stimulant effect, but on day 5, I can barely feel anything. Obviously, it's too early to tell how it will help with anxiety/depression. I had just a hint of a headache, but nothing bad enough to even take anything for. No real trouble sleeping. I will be increasing the 150mg to 300mg (twice daily) Saturday, so I'm sure there will be another adjustment period then. I've heard it's important to take the second dose fairly early in the afternoon (around 3 or 4), so it doesn't keep you up. At first, I did not think this would work with my anxiety, but it's mostly gone due to my body adjusting."


"Stomach pain and cramps after 2 weeks."


"I've been on Contrave about a month - started the four pills ( 2 am, 2 pm) this week. I have definitely suffered the nausea and dizziness. It has definitely curbed my cravings - mostly because I feel too nauseous to think about food or drink. I've lost a few lbs, but not sure the side effects are worth it for me. I'm going to continue a few more weeks and hope the new dosage settles in and the side effects lessen."


"I've had a burning feeling for the last 2 days working a 20 hr shift so had my dad buy me this product and bring it to me at work
Applied it and it burns I'm at work crying never been in so much pain!!! I luckily have access to a shower I washed what I could off and it still burns 12 more hours of my shift and it will be in pain.
Don't recommend this product"


"I am a 44 year old women, I have had anxiety attacks since I was 30 but didn't know what it was. A year ago I started having panic attacks, I would wake up with them I thought I was going to die. I went to the E.R about three times everything was fine. I was depressed, paranoid, scared to drive, had every panic symptom, went to the doctor and couldn't stop crying. Thank God they knew what to do. I was put on some medicines at first that made me sicker then having a panic attack. It was horrible I then was put on Zoloft. I started on 25mg and work up to 150mg I slowly started feeling better besides not eating and sleeping but I am now feeling like myself and haven't had any panic attacks, minor side effects but I feel so much better thanks to the Zoloft."


"I've tried every new "miracle sleeping aid" that's hit the market over the past 45 years. Nothing works as consistently or as well as Seconal.  Taken at therapeutic levels it eases you into sleep within about 20-30 minutes after taking it.  Most people sleep for 7 to 8 hours and wake refreshed and do not experience a drug hang over.  It's vital to avoid any alcohol use with this drug.  Alcohol potentiates the drug and can cause CNS suppression and even death in large enough dose. Of course this is true for most sleeping aid type medication.  Some people use this drug for long periods of time and develop  dependency on it. This can be avoided by not using it more than one or two days in a row.  Seconal works when others do not."


"I took one pill earlier thinking it was a slower release of a pill, woke up after midnight with the worst abdominal pain and nausea. I was needing relief, but was not expecting to be in this much pain."


"I started taking this pill around 7 months ago to treat my extreme mood swings. The first month included some nausea, but everything else seemed fine. As the months have gone on, I've experience heavier spotting in between my scheduled periods and lighter periods because of that. This last month I didn't even have my period. I am currently on day 10 of my weird spotting when I should be having my period (on day 1 of placebo pill). I also am experiencing some bloating and nausea. It has really helped with the mood swings, but this nasty spotting all the time isn't any good."


"Very easy to use and fast acting, effect lasts about 12-14 hours."


"I was so surprised...within 4-5 days the major discomfort from fibromyalgia was nearly gone.  I could sleep more comfortably and did not feel like the princess and the pea when I laid down.  I hope it continues."


"This has been the most effective medicine I have ever taken for my Schizoaffective Bipolar Type disorder, and I have tried seven different anti-psychotics prior to starting Vraylar. I was in a manic state when I took this medicine the first time, and shortly after the first dose the mania stopped completely. I am not experiencing any side effects whatsoever from Vraylar. This medicine has the efficacy of Clozaril, without all of the nasty side effects. I am truly grateful this medicine exists, without it I would have probably been hospitalized. Overall, I am extremely happy with this medication and I am so happy I finally found something that works for me."


"I have bad anxiety, which was brought on by strokes I suffered in 2009 due to a hole in my heart. Pristiq has been wonderful. The first 2 to 3 weeks were hard but now I am reaping the benefits. No anxiety, lost weight and now finally have lots of energy. Stick with it and it will be worth it."


"I just got this medicine prescribed to me on Friday, started taking it on Saturday, no side effects yet, but from reading the comments it seems to help with PCOS and regulating your period..getting a biopsy in 2 weeks to see if I am pre-cancerous or have cancer, so wish me luck."


"I've been on 100mg once a day for about 5 years, has worked well with no side effects. BP is great at home, BP not good at the doctors office...white coat syndrome.I keep a log of my readings at home and are great."


"I have read most of these reviews and all have had the same experience that I have had.  I have not stopped bleeding since I had it put in 2 1/2 months ago.  I am extremely moody and hormonal.  It is effective but all of us women should not have to be experiencing PMS symptoms on an every day basis.  I am getting this out of me very soon."


"I started this birth control my freshman year of high school (15-16) due to ovarian cysts. I absolutely adored this medication until about six months ago. Six years on the same pill is pretty impressive! I knew exactly when my period would start and end. Friday at three gone by Sunday at one. About six months ago I started feeling v mood swing, sadness (for no reason), crying out of no where, weight gain and inability to loose weight (which in fairness could be caused by my ovarian disease). All of those symptoms are also what people with Thyroid issues have. I had my thyroid checked and it turns out it was an abnormal hormonal level due to long use of this birth control! Other than that i have had absolutely no problems at all."


"I was on Cryselle for about 6 years. I had severe fatigue and lack of energy, was physically exhausted and drained no matter how much sleep I got, my hair was falling out like crazy, I had water retention and headaches, I was irritable and moody and I had extremely low sex drive. I eat healthy, exercise regularly, and have had my thyroid and blood sugar checked, as well as blood tests for anemia, etc, all came back normal. The fatigue and lack of energy was what really bothered me and after doing my own research I discovered this can all be related to my BC. I'm now trying a new pill. Each person is different so what may work for someone may not work for someone else. The positives were my periods were very light and I did not get pregnant."


"Age 33 Male

I have ADHD and High Functioning Autism. Unmedicated I am lazy, forgetful, unorganized, cluttered messy home. Insomnia every other year (up to 72 hours)

Medicated I have photographic memory, grab life by the horns, organized, clean. Insomnia is the same as long as I take 10 MG Melatonin daily)

My side effects: Dry Mouth and Insomnia

Overall: I'm continuing to take medication like Methylphenidate.

BTW Think about what your writing as a review before you call something awful and horrible. Chemotherapy wrecks the body but sometimes medication's side effects aren't cared about for what they accomplish. I was told to stay away from concerta and in the end it's one of the better medications for me. Vyvanse for me = no side effects"


"Best birth control pill I've tried. More expensive but less symptoms than others - no bleeding, no bloating, no weight gain, no emotional effects despite being on it for 3 years.

No periods either which is great! The 'periods' from other pills are not actually periods and are not needed."


"I've had anxiety issues my entire life. I honestly thought I was weird because I could not handle all the stress from my job and personal life. I don't have children, so again, I thought I had some severe mental issues! I tried Klonopin, WSellbutrin and Lexapro. All made me feel and act like a zombie. I am on Xanax 1mg 3x a day. Doing great, changed jobs now making more money without as much stress, happily married, and about to start law school. All good for now."


"Starting my 10th week tomorrow. Out of 9 nails 3 halfway cleared up, 4 with some results, and 2 with barely noticeable results. 0 side affects as of the 2nd month. My doctor doesn't wanna prescribe me another 3 months, he says it's bad for the liver. I will be taking opinions from a few doctors to get the best results. With this pill there's nothing for you to do then wait for it to clear up. Just clean your feet at least once a day/shower and you'll be good to go. NYC."


"I had migraines for 20 years and just dealt with it the best I could.  Doctors put me on all types of pain and triptan class drugs and while they numbed it they didn't do much.  I would always awake with a migraine and it would last 3-4 days.  10 years ago a Dr gave me 0.5mg clonazpam at bedtime and BOOM headaches almost go away.  I have forgot the bottle on weekly trips and do find my quality of sleep is reduced but overall no other side effects.  Do plan to drop to .25 and .10 nightly if I can't cut them that small...but if the migraines return...they will bury me (of old age) with .5 in my bloodstream."


"I am 20 years old and I just started the rivaroxiban 2 weeks, after they found a clot in my arm ! I'm on 20mg twice a day for 3 weeks and then 15mg for 3 months. I find I am really tired all the time and I do get a good bit of sleep at night too ! I never usually got headaches before but now I find around a hour after taking the pill I get a headache ! Just wondering is this due to the pill or am I just overthinking it !"


"I am 62 years old and have been on the generic Flomax for about two years now.
I have noticed a big improvement in my ability to urinate and I no longer have problems starting a stream. Also, it no longer takes a long time to fully empty my bladder. (No more starting and stopping several times).
My only problem is the sexual side effect of no ejaculation when I have an orgasm it bothers me that when.Obviously, this is not normal!"


"Like most other posts, I have noticed the gross taste the next day. I tried everything to confirm it was from the medication and it was. "


"I am a 43 year old, female, 5'7", 130.  Been on Bystolic for about a month.  BP went from 160/113 down to 93/58 in about 2 hours in the doctors office.  Went to doctor due to dizziness and ended up with high blood pressure.  Naggy little headache, but I also had oral surgery in the last month, so not sure which one it could be.  I walk everyday for 70  minutes 14 miles.  No side effects so far."


"I have nothing, but good things to say about Buspirone. It helps me a lot with my anxiety & it helps with my overall mood (drastically). I don't have any side effects. I think it is a great medicine."


"My doctor has prescribed me Macrobid because I frequently suffer from urinary tract infections and, combined with a 44oz cranberry juice, I feel better same day."


"57 year old female. Feeling fine. Went to my annual physical. Urine sample showed high white blood count. ( sign of a UTI, never had one and had no symptoms. Dr prescribed Bactria DS for 7 days anyway. ( after my symptoms began I researched my high WBC in urine could be due to start of menopause- no need for antibiotics there!!)
I am a non drinking vegan who drink 32 oz of water per day. I initially had a little stomach gas but on day 5 I had severe leg cramps, fatigue and headache and a fever!! I stopped taking. Fever is gone. Headache come and goes but the leg cramps are still here on day 3 after stopping Bactrim! Is my liver damaged? This is a sign of cirrhosis !when will it stop?"


"I had the kyleena inserted this morning, and my OB/GYN had me insert cytotech (misoprostol) vaginally the night before in order to soften my cervix for insertion. She also wanted the insertion to be during my period to make the process easier for both the doctor and I. The whole process took less than 5 minutes, and the worst pain (the first when she inserts a device into the cervix to measure the depth and the second during the insertion itself) only lasted a few seconds (thank god my gyn was quick). The pain was about a 7/10 - it hurt more than i thought it would, and I have a pretty high pain tolerance. Highly recommend taking some pain meds 30-60 min before the appointment. I had some bad cramping afterwards, for about 2 hours."


"My doctor just gave me Pristiq the other day and within 45 minutes I felt so much happier about everything. I am really satisfied with it!"


"I've suffered since I was a kid with IBS. Didn't know what it was, but I can say this. Stay away from caffeine and milk related products, as  I was especially drinking coffee at 9 years of age. Don't ask, just old grand parents who thought nothing of it. Stress, anxiety are also due to this IBS that I had or sometimes recurs. Librax is a life saver. I'm thin as it is, but getting even thinner was just ugly.  Thanks for coming up with a medication that controls this problem. All my symptoms have gone, and I feel I can function properly at work and with my two little ones. Life is wonderful again."


"Started Jan 2017  at 222lb  and in two months lost 20 lbs because I had no appetite, then stopped losing but kept taking the pills another month with no loss. Had headaches extreme irritability had to tell my boss I was taking a new medication I was so tired and had black under eyes. Constipated dry mouth and nose. Now into May 2017, weighing 202 , and just stopped taking it and haven't gained it back. Maybe I will take a few weeks off and try to go back and see if I can loose more. My out of pocket was $90/ month."


"Dentist lasered my gum line to get impressions for a bridge I do not know why the dentist thought lazering my gum would make a better impression but I was left with raw irritated and inflamed gums.  This product gave me instant relief."


"Lialda has given me a decent quality of life again. I've suffered relentlessly for 20 years and finally found a great doctor, who gave me this medication. It's not an overnight fix. I've been taking it for 3 months and it has fixed what I thought was permanently my lot in life. What a fantastic medication !"


"I am a 43 year-old healthy female and have suffered from insomnia due to stress and/or alcohol withdrawals on and off for years, and have taken almost everything except Lunesta, from natural to prescription remedies. This works but literally only once - it's like a tolerance is built up even faster than zopiclone. I hate the groggy feeling it leaves, and over time I think it has contributed to depressive disorder. I'd say the box is right - not for continued use."


"I just started this drug, noticed heart rate regulated ,and blood preasure and heart rate hasn't been this low in years, so far seems to be great. I am on 25mg - the lowest dose."


"Honestly, this thing works. I was freaking out and I shouldn't have been. It is very common to have a late period after taking the pill. If you are worried, take a pregnancy test to ease your mind. You will get your period. Don't worry. You will be fine :)"


"I've used this medicine for over a year now and I've had it adjusted only one other time. Though, when I've had my blood work done after the adjustment the doctor says that I am in the "normal" range. But from my own experience it doesn't "cure" all of the symptoms. I still have hair loss, insomnia and some of the other symptoms that occurs when you have a under active thyroid. But despite what my doctor says, I'm hoping to see a endocrinologist about it."


"I have been taking this medication for 4 days now it has me itching non stop, shortness of breath, really also bad gas. This has been the worse experience ever having a whole body itch is horrible.  Maybe I'm allergic to it? This pill needs to be recalled."


"Unbelievably awesome, when it works. I was taking Ambien for six months and that stopped working, so I was given temazepam. First night I took it was the best I have slept in 15 years! I actually wake up feeling refreshed with Ambien I don't feel refreshed, but I feel rested. My only complaint is that I can only take it two nights a week or I develop a tolerance and it won't work at all. Those two nights are great. Also I usually take 30mg, where I was prescribed 15mg and my doctor said it's ok to take 30 if I need it."


"Vyvanse is a highly effective stimulant class medication for ADHD and ADD. I have ADD, diagnosed at 18 and have since been on Dexamphetamine 20mg per day. Recently I was interested in trialing extended release medication and Vyvanse was the answer to my call!

Initially, Vyvanse was a little bumpy; some side effects like anxiety persisted for the first few days on the medication. It was complex to find the right dosage so my psychiatrist and I settled on 70mg per day.

Vyvanse is an amazing and considerably more effective medication than regular Dexamphetamine; the pharmacological properties of Vyvanse are AMAZING.

Vyvanse is the future of treatment for ADHD and ADD."


"I have health-related anxiety issues.  Ten years ago I took 25 mg Paxil CR for about a year and it was a life-saver.  No side effect, no withdrawal issues.  A month ago my anxiety returned for a new reason. My doctor started me on 20 mg citalopram. I think I had every side effect possible and made my anxiety worse.  I switched to 12.5 mg Paxil CR and within three days was a new person.  For me, there is no better medicine."


"I've been on this medication for 3+ years and it took a while to get on track. I was put on YAZ first but my cramping didn't stop at all. On Sprintec my skin has cleared and last month had not a single cramp during the bleeding period. I am only able to extend my period for a month and a half and often bleed before my placebo pills but I am only on those for 3 days."


"I've been on Prozac for about 4-5 months. My doctor started me on the lowest dosage (10mg) and we had to increase it. Currently, I've been on 40mg/day for about 5 weeks or so. It seems to be helping me with my OCD somewhat. I've noticed that I haven't been quite as bad as I used to be, but I'm also seeing a counselor, which is helping as well. I've heard that for OCD, you may need to go as high as 60-80mg for people with OCD. We may change my dosage in the future."


"I've been taking Effexor for about six months. within the first month I was up to 150mg. Since then I no longer have depression. I do have some moments of depression but not days/weeks. I do not have any panic attacks anymore! I'm not nearly as nervous as I was before Effexor. HOWEVER, my first week on Effexor was hell. I was extremely anxious, teeth chattering, night sweats, buzzing headache. and after months on Effexor if I miss one dose I get brain zaps. I'm also having vivid dreams. good dreams and bad ones. THIS MEDICINE TAKES TIME"


"I've been actively seeking a remedy for my 'weirdness' for 40 years. I've tried counselling, antidepressants, and bipolar meds. While all of these have helped, none of them could do what I really needed for them to do to reach my ultimate goal; To fit in with society. I went to a shrink for GAD, and was prescribed Saphris. The effects were virtually immediate. The list of improvements in my life is 26 items and counting.
     The drug is over $200/month in the states WITH good insurance. I found online pharmacies in Canada that sell it for $90 for a 3-month supply. It is shipped from India, which scares lots of folks because of their legendary lack of gov't regulations. I'm not made of money, so, to me, the risk is worth it!"


"I have severe HA's (headaches) daily from two bulging discs in my neck and a growth on my brain that adds to the HA's. I have arthritis in my right knee from two knee surgeries. I started out with trying many different oral pain meds. I was tired of taking so many pills with hardly any pain relief. I asked my physician about Suboxone, she prescribe it for my pain; I was sooo happy!! No high/lows and I felt myself again!  Then, my insurance stopped covering it, unless prescribed for addiction. I was prescribed Subutex 8 mg 2x/day which worked just as well; insurance still refused payment. After a year I was given Belbuca 450 mcg every 12hrs; insurance paid. I'm not getting near the relief I was when on Subutex. Don't like it!!"


"Had the Mirena in for a month and first period is basically non-existent.  Was recommended for by my gynecologist because of harsh periods and excessive bleeding causing iron deficiency, though I don't really think my bleeding was that excessive. Have had minimal cramping and hardly any discharge, no bleeding to speak of.  I was worried coming off the pill that my acne would come back, but my face is clearer than ever.  Have noticed some abdominal bloating, but its only the first month so not a big deal.

HOWEVER...people should be warned about the insertion process as it was quite a terrible experience even with a very gentle and experienced Gyno.  Frankly, it hurt bad and I had immediate cramping. Have a driver with you."


"No side effects and this medication knocks out my worst migraines, 99% of the time!"


"I have been on Humira for 3 years. The injection is painful but the results are excellent. I do not even feel that I have a disease any longer. Lots of energy and feeling normal is so worth any of the possible side effects. Just be careful and stay away when possible from any ill persons or high populated areas."


"I've had the nexplanon for a little over a year. Before that, I was on depo for about 4 1/2 years. Because of the depo I wasn't having any periods so I didn't experience any bleeding on nexplanon. But I definitely had a decreased sex drive, I didn't even let my boyfriend touch me because it just seemed off putting. My weight also ballooned. I gained 60 lbs in the matter of a few months (I am not exaggerating). For the purpose of stopping pregnancy, it definitely works, but I'm moody, depressed, fat and just plain unhappy with everything. I'm calling my doctor today to have it removed."


"I have had neck pain and bad headaches for the past 10 months and I have been to doctors after doctors and been on every kind of pain medicine. Ms contin is a pretty good pain medicine. It helped me out alot."


"Took this medication for a week. Ended up with excruciating back pain and a UTI. Had to take antibiotics and still got a kidney infection. Over 3 weeks of pain for nothing!"


"It really does work! I had been smoking for 10 yrs...and was at 2 packs a day. I took as prescribed, and was able to quit within the first week. Not wanting to spend anymore money on cigarettes/smoking cessation...I got to where I only took in the evening after dinner..as that's when I craved it the most. I never bought month 2 or 3. I was quit for 15 months. Due to relatives passing within a close period of time and a miscarriage..I went back to cigarettes. Bad decision! Will definitely get back on Chantix soon! Only side effect I had was the moodiness...but everyone coming off of cigarettes has mood swings...so no biggie. The online support journal really helped me as well!"


"So I was put on the birth control Kariva and I never got pregnant and it was the only form of birth control I used, so in that effect it worked. However, I experienced severe migraines that were bad enough. They checked me for a tumor, decreased sex drive, tired, nervous, dizziness, weight change, appetite change, and numbness on the left arm and hand. I have been off this birth control for just a few weeks and I am already feeling back to normal. "


"Hey gals! In a 'the heat of the moment' situation, my boyfriend and I ended up having sex on May 25. He pulled out and wasn't in for long since it was both of our first times & we're both in high school, but I was still freaking out. I took the morning after pill less than 12 hours afterwards. Then we ended up having a repeat of this situation May 30. So again, I took the pill. This time it was about 12 hours later though. I waited anxiously, but reading these reviews really helped me. I was sure I was pregnant. My periods irregular, so I wasn't sure when to expect it. I experienced cramps, moodiness, frequent urination, nausea, and fatigues. Now it's June 6th and I just got my period. Don't stress ladies, just let the pill do its job! :)"


"I am a 22 years old male University student, diagnosed with fibromyalgia in March 2014 after an extensive series of blood and imaging tests to differentially rule out other diagnoses. I have been on Lexapro since then, working up to 20mg daily with no relief.

After having become fed up with the excruciating whole-body pains I've suffered for the past two years, my research landed on gabapentin as an effective treatment for fibro. I spoke to my doctor, and now having worked up to 600mg, x3/day, I can say gabapentin WORKS!!

My daily pain levels have diminished significantly, I sleep normally, have improved mental & physical energy, and I actually feel normal again! I also use tramadol 50mg up to x4/day as needed for break-through pain."


"Diagnosed with depression/anxiety 10 years ago. Have practically been on every SSRI, SNRI, Seroquel, ALL kinds of benzos (do NOT recommend- highly addictive!)  I felt so frustrated that none of the anti-depressants were working for me and avoided tricyclics for fear of weight gain. Last week I finally realised that I need serious help as I was planning suicide. I'm back on 100mg endep and 25mg Seroquel if needed at night. I sleep fantastic, wake up feeling so refreshed. Sleeping makes a HUGE difference, and the funny thing is now that I'm feeling good, I'm out of bed and exercising. I know it's scary to think about weight gain but it really is different for everyone and it's worth a shot! Endep's been the only one for me. Good luck!"


"Lo loestrin fe was the first (and will be the only) birth control pill that I tried. The first week and a half was complexity fine and I was really happy that I wasn't experiencing any negative side effects. Then midway through the second week of the pack I started bleeding. At first I wasn't concerned because I knew that breakthrough bleeding was common and I figured in a few days it would disappear. However the bleeding was extremely heavy and clumpy which is definitely not typical for me. In addition my cramping was constant and EXTREMELY painful making it difficult for me to participate in everyday activities. Not to mention that I have now been bleeding for 9 going on 10 days with no end in sight. I am so disappointed with this pill."


"I have been on this pill for a little over 3 months and I thought it was great at first but after a week on it I started feeling nauseous everyday and so tired. I also get random headaches and I thought it was from a cold but now I'm sure it's the pill. I will be switching as soon as possible."


"I've had off and on severe heartburn with this. I've tried it with and without food, with a full glass of water and with just a little water. Sometimes it's fine and helps relax my bowels, but the heartburn feels like I swallowed a piece of glass when I get it. This really limits its effectiveness for me because I don't want to risk the heartburn, so I take it less. I take Nexium too, but it doesn't help with Dicyclomine heartburn..."


"I have been using Wellbutrin 150 mg for a week. The notices that I have seen is increasing my energy but nothing really with my depression. I am going to try about a month if doesn't work I am going to stop using anti depression."


"I have been taking Effexor since it first came out.  It is the only drug that has helped me, life has been good."


"After enduring years of itchy, runny nose and numerous daily sneezing episodes I got relief from Flonase.  Very pleased with product."


"I have had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for 29 years. I have been on Librax and Zantac for those years. In 2007 it went into remission. Came back out in December 2013. It has been terrible so back on Librax 1-2 tablets 4 times per day. Since February 2014 I have lost 27lbs also taking Vitamin B12 shots to build me up because my body was not getting enough nutrients. "


"I don't know whether to hate or like this bc. I got it September 2016 and the first 2 weeks were fine then I began bleeding and had been ever since. But I will say from October until late January it was little to no bleeding. THEN February came and that whole month almost was just heavy blood flow nonstop. Good news is this last week and a half I haven't bleed, let's see how far this lasts. Another thing is I have mood swings that happen every month where I'm either depressed or always angry or both and it happens like one week."


"The zpacks and erthromycin gives me horrible stomach pain burning and diarhea.

Cefdiner does not at all. Make sure to take 12 hours apart and dont take alcohol or vitamins and it will help the medicine work."


"I was on Sertraline for a year but then I stopped taking sertraline because the medication stopped working and this was causing problems to me and my school life. I have now been prescribed Fluoxetine from my Doctor and I have noticed the side effects instantly such as feeling anxious restlessness.

The medication has helped with life at home, me and my mum have been getting on better and not arguing my social relationships have improved to an extent but not inside school that is where I am having the problems. which is a main concern for me.

once I go back to the Doctor in a few weeks time, she expects to see a diary plan of my days and how my mood is changing. I will also explain about my anxieties."


"My son is currently 19 and was diagnosed with ADD when he was 8. He has been on many different medications with Adderall XR being the most recent. When he was in 10th grade the panic and anxiety attacks became so severe that we had to take him off Adderall. He has been taking Vyvanse (70mg)for about 2 years and really likes this medication. He does take himself off in summer for a break. Only side effect we've noticed is high blood pressure which we keep a close eye on. He likes this medicine, the best and really has helped with focus."


"Had my infusion yesterday. I drank a few glasses of water in the morning and took an ibuprofen during the treatment. I had expected the '3 days of flu like symptoms' and even scheduled sick time to be prepared. Zero side-effects, no aches or pains, nothing...but still taking the time off so I can have fun.
My stats: 50, 100#, just finished 2-years of Forteo, I take 1200mg Calcium a day plus a RX Vitamin D each month."


"I had panic attaches and anxiety for more than 5 months until I started on escitalopram.

if feel much better after 2 weeks. i am still on this medication since 4 months a go. the Dr recommended to stay on this med for 1 to 1.5 year. i highly recommend this med to people with medium to severe anxiety and panic disorders.

What I also realized that my headaches nearly gone and i started eating and living well as i have not had any anxiety before."


"Took this for gum abscess, tried kefexin and flagyl 10 days before this one and those didn't help much, abscess came back within 2 days. After those my dentist gave me some clindamycin 5 days, it helped perfectly, abscess has not returned and now im waiting my wisdom tooth to be removed in 1,5 weeks.

It has side effects indeed,it gave me bit loose stools, but... i take that over gum abscess anytime. Thank you for making this antibiotic."


"Using FreshKote is helping drastically. Especially At night. I would randomly wake up in the middle of the night feeling like somebody tore the skin off my cornea because my eyelids would stick to my eyes and FreshKote coat has prevented that. I am also using a humidifier at night and throughout the day in the house to keep my eyes feeling comfortable."


"I had a period every week for 4 months and at first tried Tri-Nessa and that did nothing. A friend recommended Nora-Be and I am so glad she did. I have irregular bleeding once a month now and it's so much better. No cramps and no pain. Love it!"


"Started on prozac 20mg but went off because of low libido. Doctor had me try Celexa 20mg & it was the worst month of my life. So many side effects! Not only did my libido get worse, but I had frequent urination, depression worsened, sleeping pattern messed up, fatigue, always sweating, and it made my period disappear for 3 months & I wasn't pregnant! After a month I went back to Prozac, I couldn't deal with celexas horrible side effects anymore!"


"This medicine works but don't expect it to work overnight. It takes a week, maybe two. "


"I have been on this birth control twice. I'm about to start again this month. Both times I have taken it my skin cleared up (always had light but consistent acne) and no weight gain. The pill may have even helped me lose weight considering both times I weighed less than I ever have.  No changes in sex drive. As for mood, I felt great. I was never down and out. I'm really hoping this works as well the third time. It has been a miracle for me in the past."


"For me, Prozac was unfortunately not so much of a success. I didn't feel worse but I didn't feel great either. I started taking it in Oct 2016 with a dose of 10 mg, then upped to 20mg and eventually to 40 mg. So really I changed doses 3 times in 3 months. (Which is probably not the best since you don't get to get use to the drug.) but anyways I wasn't feeling any better. Still felt down and very depressed. My psychiatrist has officially switched me to Venlafaxine (which I'm afraid of, since the reviews of that drugs aren't all positives). I have to say,  while on the Prozac,  sometimes I felt good but the majority of the time, I felt very depressed (not because of the drug). My side effects were fatigue and diarrhea."


"I have been taking Norco for about a year now and it works for me with very little if any side effects. I had surgery on C2-C3, C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6. The surgeon wants to cut again on C7. Had a plate with screws put in neck in 2006. I have Degenerative Disc disease with severe bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis. I take 10/325 of Norco three times daily and it helps the pain and is keeping me from surgery on C-7. Only 30% of all neck surgeries are successful and will stay on Norco to prevent surgery as long as it works and for now it is working, with no side effects."


"I began Contrave in Sept 2015. I lost about 40 lbs by January, mostly due to nausea at first, but then because it helped me really consider if I needed more whenever I ate. I was able to keep this weight off for about a year. At that point I began to slowly see a creep back up on the scale. After 20 lbs returning and I was taking the max dose, I determined that the side effects- eye focus problems and constipation- were no longer worth it. I stopped taking the pills and it took about 6 weeks before I felt like me again. It has been about 8 months and I am at my pre-Contrave weight again- such a defeat. About 2 weeks ago, I decided to try again. I took 1 pill at night for the first 2 weeks and the nausea is there, but not as bad as before."


"I was on birth control pills (Ortho Tricyclen Lo) for about 7 years. My DR told me I have high blood pressure. She thought it would be a good idea to get off the birth control pills to see if that was the main cause of the high blood pressure & recommended that I go on Depo instead.  She told me I could get the shot right there and then, and then I would have to come back in 3 months and get another shot. I have only been on Depo for 2 months. The first month I never got my period. The second month I've had my period for 3 weeks. I can't have sex because I'm bleeding, I'm crabbier/moodier then usual. I can fall asleep just fine but I wake up at 5am every morning and can't fall back to sleep. Never had this happen before."


"My greatest mistake with Restoril 30mg was taking the medication prior to my sleep cycle.  Because I was so deprived of sleep, I took the medication at 9pm which is approximately 2 hours before my bedtime.  "At bedtime" refers to an individual's bedtime; therefore, I was awake all night! This medication must be taken specifically and shortly before an individual's bedtime. Silly me.  My physician explained why I did not sleep that evening and gave me at full description of sleep cycle which changed a sleepless night into a somewhat sleep full night; about 4-5 hours."


"My knees were in so much pain that my doctor recommended me have euflexxa shots in both of my knees.  I had my last injection, number 3, on June 16th and I have no improvement in my knees.  This was very costly which I really could not afford and my knees are in just as much pain now as they were before I had the injections."


"I'm on day 3 of 7. So far, it's been terrible. As most others have said, the taste is ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC. THE MOST bitter thing I've ever experienced in my entire life. Definitely makes you want to throw up. I have been using the peanut butter coating idea and it most certainly works. I coat it pretty good and actually don't taste a single thing anymore. YAY!!! However, because you have to coat it so much, you may feel a slight choking sensation as it goes down, but trust me...it is SOOOOO worth it. Other than the taste, I've had a lot of the side effects. Really dizzy, sick to my stomach, weak/numb-type feeling, extreme exhaustion. BUT it really does work in getting rid of the infection! Usually after just a couple pills."


"Had cut my foot at a beach and was prescribed Bactrim, got the chills and chattering

teeth, told to continue and next day had severe diahareea and vomiting at same time

hospitalized for several days, body bloated to twice my normal size, near died, would

never take a sulphur drug again especially Bactrim."


"Posted about a year ago here after I first started a 500 mg nightly regimen of Niaspan. For awhile it appeared as though I would not have the usual side effect of burning skin. However, the Acid reflux I began experiencing began to worsen over time along with gastric problems at night.  Then as an active person who is involved in teaching Cardio Boxing classes I began to experience weird feelings in my chest along with a more pronounced heart beat during and after exercise. Felt like I swallowed a Basketball at times. Also could not have any alcohol Beer or Wine while taking this. I decided to stop taking it in fear of creating an Arrythmyia or Stroke during my exercise which also is my Job. This is day one off of it and feel better."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Midrin was the only thing that helped my migraines. Normally only one pill took care of the migraine if I took it right away. And I had no side effects. I could work, drive, do everything with no problem. I had problems with other migraine medications, including bad side effects from the generic version of Midrin. But the name brand was great. I can't believe it was taken off the market. "


"I lost 80 pounds in 6 months. I lost a little hair but it stopped when I stopped taking it. I also had shakiness in my hands and sweets tasted crazy sour, but apart from that I was good."


"Lamictal works great for my bipolar, but has caused some vision changes."


"Hello, I took this birth control for four years ( I started it 15 because I was diagnosed with PCOS). Overall, it really helped me. It cleared my acne, and gave me a predictable period. The fact that it cleared my acne was the most amazing thing for me. I went from layering on concealer to cover red, even purple zits on my face to being confident in my skin. One thing I suggest if you take this medication is to read over ALL of the side effects. A little known one is constipation. I suffered from it the entire time I took this medication. Despite that one problem, this medication worked extremely well. :). Also, at age 19 I use it in conjunction with condoms to prevent pregnancy. ( take it at the same time every day and you're golden."


"Five years ago, I was prescribed Accutane for my acne. It certainly kept my acne at bay for five years. A few months ago, I started breaking out again and this time the severity was less than it previously was. It was a few small zits and blackheads here and there. I was prescribed Retin A and it was a God send! The first two weeks, I battled with extra oily skin and my face turned beet red. I persevered and by the third week, the redness subsided and my face became acclimatised to it. The acne has definitely gone away as has the blackheads. The plus side is that my face looked smoother in years and whatever residual acne scars and discolorations have softened and looked better and better.
Retin A addressed my acne needs and truly delivered."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in April 2011. I started taking Lyrica beginning with a starter pack for one month by taking 75MG once a day for week 1. Week 2 and 3 increase 75MG twice a day. Week 4 was the starting point of what was going to be my prescription of 150MG twice a day. It seemed to give some relief but I honestly had more bad days than good. My doctor decided to try me with a drug called Namenda (used for Alzheimers) along with the Lyrica. It helped a little. Swelling, depression and severe weight gain has been a side effect. Cymbalta was then added for depression and pain. I still feel less energetic BUT not so depressed. 29lbs was gained within 3 months. "


"I was prescribed  Gabapentin before because I was having nerve pain in my right arm, without that medicine I couldn't go one second without being in pain. Now my doctor prescribed me Gabapentin again, because I'm a Type 2 Diabetic, who was recently diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy..I can barely walk without taking this medicine. It helps make the pain more bearable. This medicine is a lifesaver"


"The side effects were pretty brutal as I was taking this and Clindamycin. Constant pain in the liver area, along with nausea...I am hoping it worked to be rid of the infection. "


"I have been taking this pill for several years. My periods went from being extremely heavy for unhealthy lengths of time which occurred frequently (heavy 2-4 week periods every 2 weeks or so) to having regular periods all around. They only last for 4 days and are much lighter compared to what i was experiencing before but are still slightly heavy. It has cleared my acne almost completely but my cup size has gone from a D to a DDD (I am not a big girl so this was quite extreme and I would say the only side effect that has bothered me. I experience no pain though). Weight gain is A LOT easier but like anything it can be controlled with extra effort. I am quite happy for the most part."


"I started this pill after a horrible experience with implanon. I've been on the pill for over a year and I love it! My periods are predictable and very light, and have had no weight gain. I only get light acne (one or two pimples) when my cycle is about to come on I've had no breakthrough bleeding, but have noticed a decrease in sex drive, but not by too much."


"I am taking it for anxiety and depression and have experienced a lot of yawning and nausea. I feel energized in the morning than the energy seems to drain out of me but once I find something to keep me busy like walking my dogs/exercising I feel much better. Overall I feel good taking this medicine. I feel more positive and I am not thinking of the things about my loss that it could have been my fault that caused it. "


"I have been dealing with bad breathe for about 1 year and been to my internal medicine doctor and my dentist and they said I was fine. I wasn't ok with this answer so I went to see an ENT doctor. He then prescribed me Ceftin 500 mg tablets to take twice a day with food. This is the miracle drug. I have only been taking it for 3 wks out of the 4wks I was prescribed the drug and can already tell a difference. I go back in 1 week to have a CT scan of my sinuses to see if the bacterial infection has cleared up. I would recommend this to anyone who is suffering with the symptoms it treats."


"Terrible. Only took one time and slept for 12 hours straight. Woke up for work and felt out of it half of the day. Will never take it again"


"I am extremely happy with the results I have had with Latuda. I had been diagnosed with treatment resistant depression and was suffering from a major depressive episode.  I had tried 18 other medications, prior to being prescribed Latuda. I found it to be life saving and life changing. I felt the effect after four days, then a month and at 8 weeks I felt back to being myself. The only side effect I experienced was a bit of an upset stomach.  If you take it with food or a snack it helps. I no longer have any side effects.  I found it to be a miracle medication. I would highly recommend Latuda."


"I have taken this medication for 6 years. I have no side effects. I take it continuously and do not get a period. It has improved my life so much. I have so much less pain. I had tried so many different birth control pills and this is the one that works for me."


"Lamictal saved my life. I have struggled my whole life with rapid cycling bipolar 2, with more frequent and longer lasting depressive episodes than manic. I was just recently diagnosed and never knew what was wrong with me- I've been dealing with this since as early I can remember , around age 10. I started seeing a counsellor and psychiatrist and this is the conclusion they came to. When I started going I was so close to ending my life, it was terrifying . I just thought it was normal. Then my psychiatrist started me on Lamictal and we worked up to 200 mg and I have never been this happy in my ENTIRE LIFE . I've been overweight forever and I'm now losing a lot of weight healthily, I'm so happy and confident and I'm finally making changes."


"It works great, I feel great, no side effects."


"Was given 1 unit every 6 hours in ICU after a fempop bypass.  Effect was literally in seconds after injection.  Pain was gone.  But my heart rate and BP dropped to the point I had to undergo cardiac monitoring.  They thought it had triggered s heart attack."


"I have been taking Zanaflex and Desipramine for my daily headaches for about 1 1/2 years. They have greatly decreased the number of headaches and I am very thankful for the relief. I do experience dry mouth and frequent urination but I can live with that. Much easier than the horrible headaches I was experiencing daily."


"9/10 It works but it burns like hell and oozes. Use the applicator at night so you can lay down and it won't burn as bad.  Also take a couple ibuprofen."


"This is my first bc pill and I'm highly upset. My cramps were ten times worse than when I wasn't on the pill. My period is so irregular. I also get paranoid because days after intimacy I get nauseous and side effects of pregnancy. Will be changing these as soon as possible"


"Pros: Minimal cramping. Light period that just resembled spotting. No mood changes.

Cons: Sky-rocketing blood pressure (up 20 points for both numbers). To the point of Hypertension II."


"I have had nexplanon for about a year and a half now, and I think it’s worth it. The only thing is I get a lot of spotting but it doesn’t bother me because I just wear panty liners every day. Sometimes the spotting stops for months at a time and I get pregnancy symptoms like breast soreness and lower back pain, which can really freak me out but the spotting always comes back. I would definitely say the worst side effect I’ve gotten is the weight gain. I gained 30 pounds while on nexplanon and I work out every day and maintain a healthy diet. All in all, birth control is always going to have negative side effects, and it’s really up to you if you want to put up with it or not. Every person reacts differently so I would give it a try."


"My psychiatrist put me on 200 mg capsules 3 x a day (600 mg daily) and it's effective for treating anxiety. I've been on lorazepam, alprazolam, and clonazepam and all 3 became ineffective after 6 months to 1 year and were extremely difficult to get off of. I don't notice any tolerance issues with pregabalin either. I've been on the same dose for about 2 years. Better than any of the benzodiazepines and other medications I've tried for anxiety. Only side effects I've noticed are calmness, sedation, and increased appetite but exercise and healthy eating take care of any weight gain."


"I was prescribed 15mg Serax to take the edge of my anxiety while trying to stop drinking.  I didn't have bad withdrawal (i.e. trembling, convulsions, etc) but I needed something to take the edge off.  Serax was great for that.  I knew when I took a dose around "happy hour" time that I couldn't drink because of the medication so I simply moved on with my life. It made me sleepy and I slept well and woke up with a great deal of energy.  Then I read about the addictive aspect of Serax.  My doctor said it was safe to use for 2-3 weeks but I was feeling addicted after five days and stopped.  Given the choice of alcohol or Serax addiction I'd vote for Serax.  My life was good using it."


"Gives me some energy, but causes unwanted anxiety at uncomfortable times. I've been on it since the 2/7/17 and haven't lost any weight. Although I do eat less. I wake up several times during the night now as well. If I take it first thing in the morning it gives me horrible stomach issues, if I wait til lunch I'm up all night. I take it with a snack around 10:00am. It's been almost a month and a half, we'll see."


"I've been taking Celexa for a few weeks now. I've gained alot of weight.. so much in fact we thought I was pregnant! AND I'M NOT! I've been feeling nauseous, and having cramps. I dont want to have sex anymore and when we do I can't have an orgasm. My period is down to just barely anything (I have an IUD that I've had for 3 years). Celexa does make me a happier person. I'm playing with my kids now, which before I wouldn't. I just wanted to be left alone and wanted to play my computer. Now I do things with my family, I feel happier. "


"I have had a chronic problem with hyperhydrosis. I am active duty in the navy and I can say this has been challenging at work. I have spent hundreds of dollars on Otc brands deodorant and antiperspirant, laundry detergent, dry cleaning all my uniforms after wearing them once and worse of all having that feeling that people are always looking at my sweat or me just being afraid to raise my arms. I have literally been using this for one week and it stops wetness in its tracks. Shoot, even the water in the shower avoids it like a force field. For me it burns like hell but it's like a good workout. I see it as - at least I know it's working. Worth every burn."


"Just want to share my experience on this medicine. I have taken a lot of diet pills throughout my life, to be honest with you, nothing had worked! I been taking this medicine for a week now and I had lost 5 pounds! It's a miracle for me and I was born with a generation of obese family background. Throughout my life my weight has been up and down, for the days that I ate a lot, more or likely I gained two pound. This medicine will cause you dry mouth and over active on the first day that you take but after awhile your body will get used to it. The most amazing thing is you have to force yourself to eat! After you eat some food, you will feel like extremely full. I only ate breakfast and lunch with this medicine. Just eat healthy!"


"I am a 32 year old woman and I have been with my same partner for 3 years.  I had stopped taking my pill because I hated pumping so many hormones into my body. Yesterday I went in for the paragard iud but unfortunately, my uterus is too small and it didn't fit right.  Ladies - do NOT psych yourself out by reading all the horror stories of insertion. I made the mistake of doing this and I was so pleasantly surprised how I experienced no pain whatsoever. If anything it just feels like you are getting a pap. Anywho, because the paragard didn't fit with my lady parts, my dr recommended we try skyla. The insertion again was so fast and painless and although I did not want hormones, this will protect me from pregnancy more so than the paragard."


"Recently had my wisdom teeth pulled and I have constant throbbing on my left side. I'm sitting here in bed at 00:03 and it's not helping. This is the second night with no sleep."


"I have chronic pelvic pain from endometriosis and chronic back pain (lumbar radiculopathy, spinal stenosis, bulging and dried out discs) that began after tearing a ligament near my spine. I was prescribed one 40mg ER tablet every 12 hours. While it did reduce my pain to a 3 from an 8, it also gave me a horrible headache, made me nauseated, caused me to feel hot, and made me sweat. After only 3 days on this "medicine," I had to stop taking it because I could not tolerate  those horrid side effects. The only reason I gave it a 3 out of 10 is that it did relieve the pain, but the benefits did not outweigh the nasty side effects. This stuff seemed like pure poison to me. TAKE THIS MEDICATION WITH EXTREME CAUTION"


"I just wanna add to what everyone else is suggesting if you take this within 72 hrs It Really Does Work & Just Breathe !! I can't stress that enough! I took this pill 25 hours after intimacy & was scared to death for like 2 weeks! The nausea side effect was lasting more than the 5 days it read on the paper or maybe I just freaked myself out..
However it's always good to practice forms of protection.  But I am totally happy. Menstruation came very early for me as well. Best menstrual day ever lol lol !!!"


"So first day I thought I was lighting a fire inside my vagina. I was in so much pain and the burn was unbearable needless to say its normal and as days go by it gets better. I am on my 3rd day and no burn or itch. Hang on it really works!"


"Creon has helped my little three year old cousin. She was born with cystic fibrosis and she doesn't understand what it can and what it is doing to her! She is a heathy little girl that is going to survive this birth defect!"


"Got me off alcohol, been sober for 3 years. Mellows me & effective hunger tool."


"I was given a dose of delaudid through IV for severe headache associated with an infection. As soon as the nurse began pushing the syringe I had a horrible taste in the back of my throat, my breathing and chest felt very heavy, my ears felt clogged and I became very sleepy. These all lasted for around 4 hours, along with extreme nausea! The nurse said "yea a lot of people don't like dilaudid it makes them feel pretty funny." Good thing I was also taking Zofran or I would have been vomiting my brains out."


"It worked great for me. I was having insomnia issues due to anxiety. I sure am happy I did not have to take a different medication like Xanax."


"For me, Nexplanon is perfect. I've had it for almost seven months now. I haven't had any side effects besides last two months. No periods until about when the two past months came up. Spotting every now and then for one month, then every other week its like a heavy period for the second month. I feel fine though, no cramps or anything, but for some reason I keep losing weight but that might not be the implant. All around, I love it and would recommend it."


"I started Sprintec when I was around 15-16 and am currently 18, I love it! I didn't have any side effects at all and my sister (who is also on it) only got some headaches the first few weeks. My mom actually asked my dermatologist to see if I could go on it and she said that was a good option. Its gotten rid of about 85% of my acne and I'm a lot more confident in my skin. It took me a really long time for the pills to synchronize with my body (around 3-6 months) but now, I know the exact day and around the time I get my period. It's so nice because I plan around it haha! I think I got lucky as  i haven't had  any side effects. I love it and it worked great for my acne."


"Side effects were - confused, disoriented, dizzy, unable to concentrate or remember what I meant to do next.  Unable to remember words or communicate effectively.  Eyes feel unfocused.  Slight muscle twitches, dry mouth and extreme drowsiness.  Thank goodness I do not have to drive myself home from work!  However, the nausea and vomiting HAS stopped."


"I have been suffering with severe rosacea for about 8 months now.
I have used Soolantra cream in the past and it had cleared up my skin beautifully!

I had a bad breakout mainly on my forehead about a week ago, and I can honestly say Soolantra has gotten rid of about 80% of the little burning papules/pustules! I do still have quite a few spots, and sometimes I do still get the burning sensation, however it is nothing like it was a week ago where I was in so much pain I couldn't even leave the house! I look and feel much better.

Good luck to anybody else trying this medication, I hope it helps you like it has with me and many others out there"


"This medication saved my life. I had a heart rate that was so high it didn't register at the hospital. I am now going on 32, I took it every day for one year and have never had heart issues since."


"Wonderful drug but causes weight gain. I've had depression on and off for 4 years and have been on all sorts of medicines. You name it, I probably have tried it. Out of all of them, this one is truly the best. You will most definitely see an improvement in your mood, without a doubt. I am so thankful for Lexapro."


"I have been taking the pill for about 5 months and I've noticed a few things. PROS: I haven't gotten pregnant!! My periods are 4 days on the dot and I don't have any acne or cramping. CONS: I've always cried easily but now I cry at least once a day if not more. I am irritable and can get extremely angry very easily and I used to be a very easy going person. My period doesn't start until my 3rd or 4th placebo pill. I get nauseated in cars if I am not the driver. I crave weird food that I never usually eat and I'm exhausted all the time."


"I have back pain that I have had for over 25 years. As I get older it gets worse on a scale of 1 to 10. Without this med I have an on going 9 to 10 pain level  and with my medication my level drops to 6 to 7. This makes the difference in whether  I need to get help getting to the bathroom or  whether  I can get out of bed and care for myself. If my dose were a little stronger I could do more but a day at a pain scale of 6 is a wonderful day, 7 is an ok day, 9 and 10 not worth waking up."


"I'm from the UK & have tried numerous forms of contraception such as the mini pill and the depot injection but always seemed to forget the pill. I had my implant inserted in January 2016 and up until recently I thought it was great. For the past few months My sex drive is 0. I have had three periods in the space of 4 weeks which vary between heavy and continuous spotting.
I often feel bloated and lack energy, I get home from work and just want to curl up in bed with a hot water bottle on my back to ease the pain. I've had no weight gain but do eat a lot.
This method of contraception of good for preventing pregnancy but be aware of the symptoms linked to it as they often weigh out the positives."


"I became very ill. Two days after injection, I ran a fever. A few days after that, I had vomiting and diarrhea and was exhausted. I also had joint pain."


"My autistic sons behaviors were out of control. Self injury.  After four months and twenty pounds his behaviors came back. He is now an insulin dependant diabetic. I believe the med trigger diabetes. Although I am fully aware diabetes is an autoimmune disease. I caution all parents to have A1C and have a baseline of blood work. It's not just managing calories. His appetite was insatiable."


"I was prescribed lidoderm but the pharmacist switched the prescription to lidocaine 5% patch. This was TERRIBLE !!! The patch dried off and fell off in about 2 hours. The adhesive was pathetically weak and didn't hold the patch in place not even long enough to do any good. I know as a former drug salesman for Upjohn this kind of shoddy imitation would never have been tolerated. Why don't you try quality and I would assume they are made in some third world country. Terrible is the only term I can use to describe this copy cat medication."


"Overall well tolerated.  Just put on higher dose (80 mg/10 mg) for better blood pressure control.  I will see if there are increased side effects.  Am currently on Twynsta for 3 months."


"I have been having recurring urinary tract infection and was put on Cipro....not working also bladder feels like it's not emptying."


"I was prescribed Bactrim DS for a severe UTI and 7 day twice a day schedule. On the second day of dosage, I began having Flu-like symptoms such as dizzy spells, nausea, aches, weakness, and I felt so sick, I thought I was going to die. I felt worse each day and by the 6th day of dosage, I had to return to my doctor. He said I must have had a severe allergy to this medicine. He gave me a shot of antibiotics and prescription of 500 MG Amoxicillin. I am finally feeling better. The Bactrim did not work on me. They put a note in my chart to not prescribe Bactrim to me again. I think that some people have allergies to this, I know I do. Hope my story helps you."


"Had to take antibiotics back to back. First one gave me a  YI, doctor prescribed a suppository cream that was miraculous. With the second dose of antibiotics - I opted for the over the counter monistat 7. Holy cow - used the suppository cream and anti-itch cream and was crying from the burning and itching. Second day,  just the suppository - itching and mild burning. Day 3, still an itch that had kept me awake for hours. This is seriously worse than the YI. And whatever it is,  the prescription had a calming effect on the itch. Monistat made it itch worse. How is this being sold?  Please don't buy it."


"Instead of the ups and downs of short-acting Ativan (1mg X 5 times a day).....Xanax XR seems to take the edge off so I can enjoy life without the hamster wheel and tooth clenching, etc...."


"Diovan HCT induced disturbing psychedelic dreams and headache.  There is an unpublished academic article on the web about how once daily dosing of Diovan may induce psychedelic dreams and that twice daily dosing may relieve the problem. Novartis, the manufacturer, doesn't list this troubling side-effect!"


"I have needed medication for allergies for almost 15 years and have had difficulty getting more than moderate relief.  Nasonex has made my quality of life much more comfortable and kept my symptoms more controllable, which in turn keeps other related expenses down.  Because of my financial limitations it is my one necessity, although I wish the cost was lower. Makes my over the counter remedies more effective.  I have experienced no side effects from this drug, only desirable effects."


"So far after 11 days I am doing well. Started with patch and gum . Patch 21mg and 4mg patch after a week both were just to strong stomach upset did not feel well. Stopped the patch and use gum as needed to curtail desire to smoke I will Win this time I have to quit"


"Have been on Trulicity for the last 8 weeks and apart from the odd light stomach cramp and less frequent but a little more severe headache I haven't had any of the side effects that other people have mentioned. I have noticed a decrease in appetite and as such my portions have reduced although I am now eating regularly where I wasn't before. My sugar levels at some stage were around the 14-15 range (130+) but since taking this my morning levels before breakfast are between 9 and 11 (75-97) and my before evening meal levels are between 5.3 and 8 (34-64) depending upon what I have eaten during the day. In the last week I have started a low carb higher fat diet which is where the lower readings have come from. On 0.75 at present."


"I've been on micronor for about 4 months, the first 3 months were perfect getting my period roughly a month apart at a time. This past month it seems I have gotten my period every other week! Which is annoying!! My MD said it may take around 3 months to regulate my cycle but it seems my body is doing the opposite. Frustrated because I smoke and this birth control was the safest option for me. Looks like things have to change. "


"I have been taking Premarin for (the better part of) 25 years. Due to insurance changes through this time I've been directed to use other estrogens. I will emphatically state that there is NO substitute for premarin. The others gave me breakthrough hot flashes and PMS.  With all of the plumming gone, these were not acceptable being 32 years old.

Premarin every day has kept me at an steady keel with no wavering in mood or temprament."


"So don't let the reviews deter you from trying this form of birth control. Every body is different every person has different reactions to every medication.

My personal experience with nexplanon has been wonderful. It's helped my acne, my period has dwindled to nonexistent. I never got the bleeding for 6 months but my doctor warned me that that could happen so I went in knowing that it was a possibility. The reason why it took so well may have been because I was on the NuvaRing for such a long time and it's essentially the same hormones so that may have helped?

Please give it a shot it's worked out well for me and it may work out well for you."


"Easy to take, no problems

. Worked well kept my BP under control."


"I'm 20 with two kids. I have had Mirena in for over two months now. I have had so many side effects from it and I am still bleeding. Some side effects I had were headaches, severe cramping, pain in my sides, moderate to severe bleeding, horrible mood swings. "


"I have been on Trulicity for 3 weeks and I love it. My blood fasting readings have dropped from an average of 205 to an average of 147. With my Tufts insurance, 4 pens had a co-pay of $30.I have had no side effects at all."


"I was having severe insomnia to the point where I was only getting 1-2 hours, at the most, of sleep a night. I started to hallucinate after a few days of this and was prescribed Ambien. It works fast (within 10 minutes after kicking in to fall asleep), but I only sleep 4-5 hours on it and then wake up refreshed. I don't get my full 7-8 hours. Not sure what's up with that. I tried Ambien CR and it took longer to fall asleep on that and I still only got around 4-5 hours of sleep on the CR version. I still use Ambien and it's better than Lunesta which gave me a nasty taste in my mouth and didn't even make me tired. Overall, I recommend Ambien."


"The first day I took Tamiflu I Felt a little better, I took it after I ate a soup and a bowl of jello, and I didn't have nausea or vomiting.

The second day after I took the morning capsule (3hrs after), I felt very good and stay like that the rest of the day, a couple hrs ago took the night capsule after I ate dinner and I didn't feel any nausea or vomiting. Remember I ate a big bowl of jello.

I really can say Tamiflu is helping me to fight all the severe  symptoms of the Flu,  and I will continue taking it for the next 3 days of the treatment....

I will letting you know my experience after the 5 day..."


"I LOVE Zomig! I was bed-ridden for 2 days almost every month for years from horrible migraines. I thought I had tried everything to no avail (including Imitrex and many others) and then went to a new neurologist to ask for Botox based on another doctor's suggestion. He gave me 3 samples of medicines I had never tried. The 1st one didn't work (can't recall what it was) and the 2nd 1 was Zomig. Bingo!!! Finally something that worked even after the headache has set in! So expensive though - very minimal coverage by insurance."


"The WORST night of my life. I can only imagine that this would be what someone would experience if they took hallucinogenic drugs.  HORRIBLE nightmares, a sensation that my chest and arms were being restricted, burning.  Woke after every VIOLENT nightmare, trying to forget what I'd just dreamt.
Headache this morning and TOTAL recall of a night filled with terrible dreams. I am throwing this away!!!!!"


"Used Efudex 7 years ago.  Now using Carac 0.5%.  Apparently the same dosage of Fluorouracil but in a different cream base.  My dermatologist said that the Carac seems to be less aggressive. Only use once a day versus twice with Efudex.  From my memory of Efudex, Carac seems much less raw so far.  Still have the redness and tenderness but much more tolerable.  One more week to go.  Not sure on cost.  Insurance covered it, luckily. (using tazarotine with Carac on scalp which helps absorption - skin is tougher)"


"My 14 yo had her first Remicade infusion a 10 days ago. After 8 days she had severe serum sickness. Her fever shot up to 106 and her blood pressure was really low. She spent 24 hrs in the PICU. It was very scared. Needless to say, she won't be able to take it again. We are hoping there will be no lasting effects but only time will tell. Her symptoms of serum sickness were: fever, chills, severe joint pain, hives all over, swollen hands, red eyes, and dry mouth."


"I'm writing this in case anyone else is in my position of being afraid of takings this out of the fear of it making you high, since so many people have voiced strong opposing opinions about Klonopin. I was in the same exact position of being afraid of taking it, even though those around me (which is part of something I have to learn..accepting that people know what they're talking about when it comes to anxiety) were telling me that nothing would happen. It took me a spur of the moment gather of courage to take Klonopin..and now I can say that *when needed*, I love Klonopin. It melts away anxiety and leaves a dent in depersonalization (if you struggle) and allows you to function and level off for a few days afterwards."


"The applicator took a few tries to use properly.  I just have to allow a few extra minutes in the morning before I put on a shirt. If I was in a real hurry, I would use a blow drier.  I definitely feel better, but get my first blood test next week and I'll see how my levels are.  "


"Saw a PA for sinus infection secondary to bronchitis and acute asthma. Prescribed Levaquin daily for 10 days.  After the 2nd day on it I noticed severe right shoulder pain and mild left shoulder pain.  I did not make the connection until day 7.  I called my pharmacist and was told to stop taking medication.  That was 6 days ago.  I now also have pain in my right bicep. I had just finished a course of steroids for my asthma which may have made me at increase risk for this side effect. Good news is my sinus infection is gone.  Public needs more info on side effects of medication.
i"


"Helps relieve most of my pain. Don't take more than recommended."


"I'm on day 2 of this product and I "feel" a drastic difference. I am forever grateful to my doctor for prescribing this. 3 years ago I had the same issue and I suffered for 3 months with excruciating pain during my bowel movement to the point I added to my misery by holding it for up to a week at a time to suffer from as few painful bowel motions as possible all because I was to embarrassed to show this problem to my doctor. Never again  and I really thank the pharmacist for the coupon to bring my cost down to 40 dollars. There is a mild side effect I didn't have a headache more so painless throbbing in my head for the first 1-2 after application. I was still able to function and get through my clinicals without feeling faint or ill."


"I take 600mg lithium the only side effect I have are the tremors. Have been on it for the past year thought I was taking it for 5 years when I was first diagnosed with bipolar 13 years ago. I wanted off it then because I was doing well and I continued to do so for many years afterward until the depression came back. Then after trying different meds that were unsuccessful I went back on lithium. I'm amazed at some of the very high doses some are taking as mine was increased to 800mg I wasn't even on that dosage a week and had to reduce back to 600mg again as I went toxic. I remember Depakote causing my hair to fall out and it was an extremely good med other than that."


"I started taking Contrave 7 months ago they have worked wonders for me.  I have lost close to 60 lbs and still working on losing 60 more lbs . They really curb my appetite . They only bad thing is sometimes I can't sleep and that's one of the side effects. But I would definitely recommend them to someone  who is  wanting to lose weight."


"Took it within 35 minutes of feeling that tingling sensation from cold sores arrival and the cold sore never came out, amazing product haven't had a cold sore since (1 yr) and now that I am feeling a cold sore come back I am at the doctor now getting a re-fill prescription! Get this product!"


"I have been on oxycodone and NSAIDS for 4 years now due to chronic back pain. The past few months it was difficult to lay down and sleep. So my primary doctor decided to try some antidepressants to see if that helped me sleep. Started out with Cymbalta and that had way to many side effects for me, plus it didn't help with the sleep. Then he had me try Symbyax first at 3mg then try the 6mg. The 6mg was too much but low and behold the 3mg not only helped me to sleep but I sure could tell I was in a better mood than before. "


"This is an update, now completed four weeks on Saxenda and experienced a 27 pound weight loss. Began at 284lbs, now 257lbs.  I'm a 55yo male and 6' tall. Now on full maintenance dose of 3.0. Still able to get through the day without feeling hungry and finding that two or three small meals per day satisfy what little appetite I have. The worst thing for me was the sensation of nausea over the first three weeks, but that has now disappeared. Still feeling a bit lethargic, hoping that will abate in time also. The cost in Australia for this medication is $380 a month and not covered by most insurance companies. I get a real boost when trying on new clothes, now one or two sizes smaller, a definite sign the medication and effort are working."


"so far so good.  after having been on a high dosage of Effexor XR for several years and hoping to ween off of that med I ended up in the hospital with a major depressive breakdown.  the hospital psychiatrist prescribed 40mg fluoxetine and after 6 weeks that wasn't touching my disorder.  my new psychiatrist had me try Latuda 40mg at first and that med made me feel tense and horrible.  now we are trying a low dosage of Abilify along with the 40mg fluoxetine."


"At first this medication impaired my ability to drive a lot. My depth perception was way off making it very dangerous for me to be on the road, over time I did notice my migraines were less often and sometimes I would get all the symptoms of a migraine (light sensitivity, nausea) but no pain, kind of like a ghost migraine, which was weird and inconvenient. For the most part I think this medication is worth a try. I am currently on 25mg."


"Great for back pain"


"Helps take the edge off anxiety to where I can control it better. Also helps my social anxiety a lot and little with obsessive compulsive disorder. Overall it helps a lot!"
