"After starting the pill my breasts got really sore and my periods were no where for 2 months. After that my breasts got notably bigger (almost a cup) but after taking it for around 8 months my periods are still irregular which is really annoying. I had hoped that taking lo loestrin would help with my cramps and back pain but they are the same as before. For 4 months my cycle would be 48 days then 11 days and they would still be full 7 day periods. I haven't noticed any other side effects. No complaints."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I find if I take Pradaxa with a full glass of water. Have no reflux and I have found it to be a miracle to be honest and SO grateful to be on the 12 month trial."


"I have been on klonopin for 17 years.  I started with .50mg in the am with an SSRI.  Over the years all the SSRI would work for a bit then I would have to change.  The last year I lost my husband suddenly at 38 and have changed 4 of them and finally said no more..  I am currently on 10mg of lexapro and 1.50mg of klonopin.  The withdrawal of lexapro and before that Effexor have been hell and back.  If not for klonopin I wouldn't make it through the day.  Addictive or not it works."


"I have been having Urinary tract Infections for a while and have had them more than once. I have been given different kinds of medications to treat the infection-- even ones that made my urine turn orange and stained my underwear. I have to honestly say that the Septra DS is the best I have ever taken (I asked for the generic brand from my doctor). I know its huge-like horse pills, but after the first dose I felt relieved. The first thing I noticed was that I didn't have to urinate that often and the pain associated with urinating subsided. I never had any side effects with this medication."


"Intense dreams nightmares"


"I was suicidal and depressed for months. Feels like years. I'm on Wellbutrin as well but have been for years with no improvement. Latuda at 40 mgs has changed my life in 3 weeks. I'm not manic. I'm just normal and happy. High stress situations don't make me spiral, setbacks aren't out of proportion and damn if I'm not in awe that people live like this naturally and take it for granted."


"I felt the change after the first dose and now I can live again. I was always so scared to even leave the house, I was always so jealous of my wife thinking she would cheat or that someone was talking about me, always afraid what people thought. I look back now and think who was that person? Now with all kinds of energy my sex life is so much better, I am losing weight, I was an emotional eater. That's gone. I am a new man, I am a better person. Zoloft saved my life my marriage. I am so focused now I have accomplished more in 6 months than in 6 yrs. Not really any side effects that are bad other than a little tremble once in awhile and I cant sleep sometime."


"This is supposed to last 24 hours but it didn't for me, I got 9 hours of relief. I like the original little red pills that lasted 4 to 6 hours. "


"In 50s with no steady sexual partner but was starting to have problems getting, and then if it happened, sustaining an erection when meeting guys. Doc prescribed 50mg sidenafil. Significant improvement in sexual performance, erection developed at the prospect of sex and stayed very hard as long as I needed plus able to perform repeatedly, which was totally new for me. Some loss of sensitivity but I found the side-effects in terms of stuffy nose, headache, flushing and severe indigestion quite difficult to cope with. I am hoping they will diminish with repeated use."


"Be patient it does take a few days for the symptoms to clear but after about 4 days you should see improvement. There is a topical cream your Dr can provide that helps with burning and itching. To ease pain soak in cool water frequently... But it may take up to 7 days to clear."


"I have been using Zanaflex since 2003. I suffer from chronic pain and spasms due to herniated discs in neck and back. I have already had fusion done on neck and the pain and spasms never went away, that was due to the discs below the fusion herniated just after the surgery *over compensated for the discs above*
I also have fibromyalgia, I am supposed to take 4mgs 3 times a day but only take it at night since it makes me sleepy most of the time and I am already on Percocet and Savella. I need to function during the day. Doctor says I can take all 3 at bedtime if I wanted but have only taken 2 at a time. Dry mouth is a side effect and sometimes I will have the grogginess in the morning but found that it is mostly due to taking it so late and getting up early."


"Scared to take would rather live in pain then take a chance of getting cancer or dying for an infection caused by a cut or scratch"


"I have been on Eliquis 5 months for a saddle pulmonary Embolism in November, unable to breath, chest pressure, exhaustion and was treated finally by Eliquis. However after three and a half months I have been loosing hair at a rapid rate. Feeling better however the hair loss and swollen legs and insomnia are extremely disheartening and scary. I hope I will get my hair back after treatment and legs will not swell any longer. Hoping someone else has the same experience and can offer me consolation. thank you"


"This medication works awesome for me.  I have narcolepsy and been on it for about 6 months now.  I take 3 x 10mg tabs a day and I skip Wednesday's. I am alert, awake and without any side effects.  "


"Took Augmentin for severe sinusitis, after 2 hours started vomiting it would not stop, rushed to medical centre, given an injection to stop the vomiting didn't work, vomiting continued until only bile and blood was coming out, then given Zofran wafers finally the vomiting subsided, but the stomach and chest pain continued all night. Worst experience :("


"I got these as samples from my doctor for constipation, these pills worsened my anxiety. I started feeling very nervous and shaking, after two days of taking these I realized it was these pills that triggered my anxiety. Plus I didn't noticed them help with my constipation. Maybe if I would have taken them longer they would have helped."


"I have been struggling my entire life with mental health issues that I didn't realize were there. I have extreme anxiety and have always found it so hard to talk to people with out stuttering and feeling stupid. I experimented many different meds Vistaril seriously changed my life. I am so much happier and so much calmer than I've ever been, I feel like a new person."


"My experience now is that I'm in the ER every other day because I cannot get Primatene Mist any longer. I've been using this product for over 25 years without one single bad side effect and now 10 times a day I have a breathing attack that lasts over 30 mins or more because I don't have my Primatene and prescribed medicines DO NOT WORK."


"I have now been on a 40mg a day dose of Latuda since April 18th, 2011, and it is now September 10, 2011. I have found the Latuda in conjunction with 200 mg of Geodon, I have been on it since 2002. I am now as balanced as I have been in the last 41 years. The only side effect has been a dry mouth; however, I have no teeth, at age 51, and it is not bad."


"I got Nexplanon and my doctor told me in advance that its possible to bleed for 3 months but if it doesn't stop after 60 days, then you should remove it but if you can power through its worth it. I didn't bleed but my side effects were terrible acne and minimal mood swings (both can be managed.) Now I absolutely LOVE it as a birth control. It's the most effective form out right now and has eased my nervousness about pregnancy. I don't need to remember a pill or a shot or to take a ring out. I love it. The only cons are that it hurt when I got it in, and the amount of acne I got, but I think it's worth the effectiveness.

SIDENOTE: for 99% of others I know who have it, negative side effects stop after 2-4 months"


"I love Abreva! I was exposed to the virus that causes cold sores on the lip one year ago. The first time was terrible is never been through it so I didn't know what to do, but this time round I knew exactly how to handle it"


"I was put on Testim about 5 years ago, due to my T-number at 40! Before Testim felt lousy, gained weight and had trouble with erections. I didn't like the Testim because I got stuck to the bedsheets. That stuff is like glue! And I got a DVT from it. At least that's what a hematologist diagnosed. So I switched to Androgel and have been on it and Coumadin ever since. I am told that all the literature inside the Androgel box states it has caused blood clots, so I am very careful. Put it this way, I was in ICU for 16 days and they found NO clotting problems whatsoever. "


"Anxiety and stress relieved 100%, would recommend"


"Wow! 15 lbs. lost in 3 weeks. No side effects at all. Pairing it with weight watchers and finding this helps me stick to diet where before I would cave in 2-3 days.  I am no longer obsessed with sweets or feel overwhelming hunger.  I take Zoloft and have gained like 80 lbs in the 16 years I have been on it (in addition to having 6 kids). I previously(before kids and Zoloft) watched my weight but was a size 4-6(now size 18).  I finally see a way back to myself and a normal weight for me.  I would like to Lose 80 more over the next year :-) give it a try, I am thankful I did!"


"I have been on this drug for about 10 years, I have tried to slowly come off of it, thinking Im ok but it was a disaster, dont let your pride effect your life! I was going through divorce, stress at work, and overall angry thoughts and depression. What it did for me was make the bad moments less extended, I still get stressed and have normal bad days but the lingering of these moments lessened. I never post this type of stuff, but I hope I can help someone, this med may have saved my marriage and my childrens upbringing!!! i did have to incrwase dose after a couple years though"


"I am very sensitive to drugs. So I was put on 25 megs of Trazadone. It worked for about a week then I got very sensitive to it and it knocked me out. My eyes and nose hurt and I was very tired. So I had to go off it. I ended up in a crisis center until things settled down. This drug did not do good for me."


"I have used Efudex for years on my severely sun-worshiped skin.  I could never tolerate more than 7-10 days, and never got great success. I tried Tolak once, with much better success.  The mode of delivery, inactive ingredients or something made a big difference, and I tolerated it almost 4 weeks. 1X a day app and something about it makes side effects milder, yet results better.  I ended up getting much better results than I ever got with Efudex.  I see some people here are discouraged that they don't get inflamed as soon as they do with Efudex, but the milder reaction allowed me to stay with it much longer.  I did get a severe reaction after the 3rd week, but excellent results.  Will use again....no more Efudex for me."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Man this stuff  taste horrible! Almost as bad as some thick cough syrup or Imodium or mylanta. I mixed mine with diet ginger ale ( of course with approval from my doctor). However, it managed to work very quickly. I was in the restroom within 20 mins after consuming it. No cramping , but I did gag a few times as I was drinking it . I managed to suck on lemons in between sips which also helped a lot. It works but the taste and then drinking the two bottles of water afterwards is tough! Beware."


"I BEEN TAKING EFFEXOR FOR 4weeks FINALLY I FEEL GOOD IT'S A MIRACLE I WAS SUFFERING REAL BAD DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AND THOUGHTS OF GIVING UP ON LIFE. EFFEXOR WORKS, THIS IS THE BEST I FELT SINCE I WAS 23 NOW I'M 30 AND YES I FEEL VERY HAPPY TO KNOW I DIDN'T GIVE UP AND FINALLY FOUND A MIRACLE PILL AND IT'S ONLY BEEN A MONTH THANKS EFFEXOR SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU."


"I've had migraines since age 12, so 30 years. I received Imitrex at 25 and am forever grateful! I average one migraine every 2-3 months, usually w/changes in weather and/or interrupted or reduced sleep. If I recognize the aura phase (usually smells, sometimes halos or light streaks/trails), and take Imitrex within the first couple of hours, it can completely ward off the pain. If I don't catch it in the aura and take it after actual pain hits, it's still helpful but I will still be subject to 2-3 days pain and need recurring doses, plus I supplement Imitrex with naproxen and caffeine. But it works. I've gone from being bed-bound in a dark, silent room to being able to work- even w/flourescent lights- without vomiting or worse. Life changing"


"I had to go to 800 mg Metaxalone every 6 hours (directions from the inpatient pain specialist) while trying to recover from an emergency laminectomy L3 & L4, even though the regular directions say per 8 hours. It helped for awhile, but now I am off of it temporarily so the spine specialists can figure how much of the scoliosis is due to which spasms. The original injury caused total paralysis progressing over 6 weeks; I had no choice but to get the surgery. Long ago I took Baclofen for the great pain and spasm relief. However, it caused major memory loss and other mental weirdness that caused people to think I was psychotic. Thank God for a wise doctor who knew about this rare side effect. If you take it, BE CAREFUL!"


"Got on it for migraines, it worked great for the first 8 months. The last 4 months I've gotten depressed, panic attacks. I lost weight so weight gain wasn't an issue but I've always had issue with weight loss and not gaining. Made me lose appetite a lot and I was never thirsty either."


"Flomax works well for me."


"I have been taking 75mg once per day, for 15 yrs.  Has always worked well for me with no side effects but I would like to get off of it because........15 yrs! Do I still need it?  But if I miss one dose, brain shocks like crazy.  This is scary to me that it can do that.  It makes me very nervous about even considering weaning off of it."


"So I am 25 years old I have a 4 1/2 year old son. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant the last couple years.  A couple miscarriages. No luck then February 2017 my doctor prescribed me Clomid. I bought the off brand and it was only $9 . I took it every month and checked my ovulation. Then  Iovulated every month around the same time. I became impatient around April and took the clomid but also took premama fertility drink , used fertility lubricant and we did every position known to man lol while ovulating. So I don't know what worked in April maybe all things together worked. But May 26, 2017 I found out that I am 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant!! We were so happy and scared. But it is now June 25th 2017 and I am 9 weeks!"


"I smoked on and off since I was 19.  I am now 48.  I started Chantix on 7/2/15 and my last cigarette was on 7/8/15.  So far so good!  I tried Chantix about 6 months ago and kept smoking thinking that I would "miraculously" stop smoking.  That's not possible if you keep buying cigarettes!  This time, I started off with the 1mg 2x a day...not the "starter pack" and I think that made a difference for me.  It worked a lot quicker.  It is now only $30 copay on my insurance so I decided to try again and it is working."


"I believe I have found the answer I have been looking for! Been on it about two months. I sleep throught the night with a lot less interruption and I fall asleep more quickly.  My thought pattern is far less anxious and muddled; I am able to concentrate.  My mood is far less out of whack and I am generally happy.  The only downside for me is it gives me the munchies and I have diabetes, so I have gained some weight a bit rapidly.  However, with a lot of effort, I have eliminated foods out of my diet that are carbs. I am starting to level out and I have a lot of hope for the future with this medicine. It is expensive, but I have good insurance."


"I tried the NuvaRing twice.  The first time was for about three months and it was great, but I had to switch birth controls, because it was so expensive.  I started using it again when I could afford it.  I have been on it the last four years.  I have about zero to no sex drive and experience dryness during sex.  The last few months, it has been moving around during sex and makes it even more uncomfortable for me.  It doesn't make sense to me to use a birth control that kills you sex drive and therefore the reason you are on it, so I'm switching to the IUD in the next couple of weeks."


"I started taking Prozac since I began my hospitalization at a mental facility in March. I am on Prozac for approximately 1 month now. The first week was still awful for me, but Prozac did make me feel better. The following two weeks I began to feel progressively "happier", and I started participating in activities more. Lots of people commented on how I became more bubbly after my hospitalization. However, I am beginning to feel down again recently. Hopefully my psychiatrist can figure something out."


"I take iron, Levothyroxine, I do not poo normally. I took some Amitiza and I remembered what normal felt like! Quality of life means everything. Pooping comfortably is a must for being happy!"


"I've been taking Singulair for three weeks now after going off Advair, which is no longer covered by my insurance.  I now have to use a rescue inhaler several times a day and am constantly coughing and feel out of breath and tired.  Maybe three weeks isn't long enough a trial period. I'm hoping my breathing gets better in the next week or I'm calling the doctor to try another medication.  "


"I've had stomach issues my entire life, complained about this to so many doctors and taken so many ineffective drugs.  Finally found the right doctor who prescribed the right medication.  I wish it hadn't taken so long.  It's amazing to feel normal."


"Xanax is something that I was afraid to take, given the fact that people with anxiety and panic attacks are usually scared of what the medicine is going to do.  I finally gave in and started taking my Xanax on a day when I needed to go to the Doctor which terrifies me.  I took the lowest dose, 0.25 mg and I am so thankful that I did.  No panic whatsoever at the Doctors office.  I so look forward to knowing that I will have something to take to help me get through panic situations that I have been avoiding for years."


"Prescribed Bactrim for a UTI. One hour after first dose I was in bed with excruciating leg pain. Migrain and nausea followed. Leg pain lasted for 12 hours. Should have went to the ER."


"This pill is making me sick as a dog and it makes me feel sleepy. But is does work very well. I wish they'd make a pill you didn't have to get sick from. I'm on it now 7 days twice a day. I'm only on my 3rd day and feeling like I can't take it any longer."


"I'm on my second month of Apri, and honestly haven't experienced any side effects. My biggest concern was the whole blood clot issue, but my doctor says I'm low risk and healthy, so I need not worry. Only down fall, is you will be moody. Since I read reviews before hand, I'm in total control of my mood swings since I know its the birth control making me agitated. Weight gain? None. Boobs? Sometimes they're really tender and heavy feeling. Once I get in the sugar pull week those feelings subside. Overall, Apri has been good to me."


"This medication has been very effective for me. After years and years of living with anxiety and doing all the right things to get rid of it organically, I finally bit the bullet and started on 5mg. Decided after a particularly bad month of anxiety to start a script I had been given a year ago. Read reviews, most of them saying you need to stick it out to pass the side effects and get the full benefit, so that's what I did. I took the 5mg for a week, went up to 10, and have now been on it for 3 whole months. The initial side effects were as follows: nausea, sleepiness, memory deficits (short-term), headaches. Those went away after 2 months. And anxiety is gone. I am calm and collected, I no longer sweat the small stuff. No insomnia."


"I started taking phentermine August 15, 2014, weighed 203lbs, today 197 lbs. I've only drank water, had ONLY 3 sips of tea, calorie count varies between 600-2000.  I have not cut out sweets/fried foods. I'm not cutting out all those that I enjoy eating, I'm cutting back. If I cut out everything, once I finish phentermine, the weight will come back rapidly when I start back eating regularly, this has been my experience when taking phentermine previously. I'm not going to eat just fruit, veggies, broil foods for the rest of my life, so why fool myself? I'm working out 6 days a week, in the morning and evening. This round will be much better, I'm more determined, my strategy has been thought out. I will post an update, BEST OF LUCK TO ALL!"


"Took Inderal La for a very short time. In the time I was on it I never had a migraine, unfortunately on average I could sleep 7-8 hours a night but being on this medication I was lucky to get 4."


"I don't know if I am getting well or not. But I am having a good bit of the side effects
 All the inflammation,  swelling,  weakness, and hurting all over hand arm, shoulders, legs and feet. I sit down an I don't want to move again because of all this. I'm also experiencing the confusion, emotional, and mood changes."


"I used Apri for 2 yrs but with a gap of a few months in between. When I got on it the second time my symptoms were different than the first time. For the first month I was always nauseous or on the verge of throwing up within literally 30min-1hr of taking the pill [I learned that eating right after helped a lot] But I decided to give it a go until the second month. After that first month I was fine. I did go through a few months of increased appetite but thank goodness I didn't gain weight some how. Periods are not as painful, long or heavy. My minor acne decreased. my hair is longer and stronger then its ever been. My chest did get bigger now that I think about it. Overall I like Apri especially since it only cost me $9."


"Been on this for quite a while, and problems have increased over that period. I seem to be suffering from all the side effects which are supposed to be relatively uncommon."


"I have taken only 3 pills thus far, while my symptoms from bronchitis and a sinus infection are already starting to improve I cannot handle the strange dreams, disconnectedness, slight paranoia and subsequent anxiety!!! I too will be calling the Dr. on a Sunday to get a different RX. Oh yes the taste in my mouth is EVERY bit the disgusting way that others have described."


"I broke my back in 2002, 3 years later found out the break did not fuse and after 13 doctors finally found one that would do the operation (as I was cutting my own spinal cord with the broken bones in my back).  My surgery was only supposed to be 5 hours but because of all the damage I did it turned into 15 hours.  I was cut open from pubic bone over left hip right to spine, now I have 2 rods 4 plates and so many screws they lost count, no bad side effects for me but I wouldn't have a bowel movement for 10 days or so was my only problem.  I was on 150 mcg/h"


"Tried Terazosin but failed due to lethargy. Next tried Flomax but failed due to extreme constant headache. Next Uroxatral which had fewer side effects aside from a bit of nasal congestion. Had some mild constant pelvic pain so Urologist suggested Rapaflo. Very low nasal, or lethargy side effects, but this medicine gave me retrograde ejaculation and took away most sex drive.  This medicine would be fine if I were older and not having sex.  But I am 50 and my girlfriend is starting to wonder."


"I was very self conscious about my acne for quite a while. When people started telling me I had a lot of pimples (adults and kids) I thought "Ok I switched to a whole bunch of natural regimens already and nothing's working. It's time to go to the dermatologist." So my parents took me there and they prescribed me with Doxycycline Hyclate. They gave me the tablet version though, not the capsule one. So I didn't have to worry about choking on it or having an upset stomach. After a week, there was a slight difference in my skin. I still had breakouts but they weren't that big. After a month now, people have told me that my face is clearing up, meaning it's noticeable so the med is really working its magic. But now there's a lot of scaring"


"Was on this medication for a month and a half, no positive results just diarrhea."


"I have been on this pill for about 3 1/2 months. I only had breakthrough bleeding the first month, and I never experienced nausea. I had small headaches, but those didn't bother me. However, over the past 2 1/2 months, I have been the most depressed, fatigued, and angry I have ever been in my entire life. I don't want to do anything or see friends or family, and it only lessens when I'm on my placebo week, so I know this isn't a coincidence anymore. "


""Tried" to fill the Rx my son's Dr. had written (very first of this med) at one of the large retail store pharmacy's and... Even with a Tricare co-pay, the cost was just over $1K!!!

Needless to say, I called the Dr.'s office back immediately for another/different Rx.

Talk about price-gouging!"


"I've had Mirena since March 2017. Dr said it would stop my period and I'd only need for about a year because I'm in peri-menapause. He also told me I would only bleed for a couple of days and then probably get my period lighter, for 3-6 months. No freakin way! I'm like a leaking water faucet of red. I wear a pad all night, nothing, I'll go to work, gush, go home and change. Had to wear an overnight pad and an ULTRA tampon every time before the Mirena.. Now, it's an overnight & HEAVY tampon.
Ugh. No pain though, just lots of leakage. When will it end."


"I take mefenamic acid for endometriosis. I have to say it has helped me greatly. I definitely notice if I don"t take it. It's an ant-inflammatory so I take it everyday. You need to build it up in your system it doesn't work as instant pain relief. So if you take it for your period you need to start taking it the week before. It is in the same family as ibuprofen so it can upset your stomach. Make you take it with food and if you are going to be on it for a long time. Take something to protect your stomach. I can't say it helped with the heaviness but the pain definitely."


"I'm a 44 yr. old female,  175lbs, and 5'4". This is my second round of saxenda. I took in when it was first released with a good amount of success. Due to a change in our insurance, I had to stop for a year. Now I'm back on again, 3 weeks in and I'm dialed up to 1.8 and my start weight initially was 186. I'm now 175. Has anyone had the extreme vomiting and head to toe sweating with upper abdominal pain? This seems to happen whenever I've had bread or candy. What kind of meal plans are other people doing? It's really hard to find information regarding literally what to eat. Anyone??? Thanks in advance!!!"


"Adderall XR lasted no longer for me than Adderall IR. I was prescribed 30mg XR twice daily with its duration being four hours before it stopped working."


"Immediate improvements in my joint arthritis level was noticed within 3 days and I've been able work regular hours."


"I've been on Qvar 40 for 4 years because of drastically out of control asthma. It works great for controlling the asthma but it aggravates a heart condition that I have- PVC- so I'm unable to use it as prescribed. Instead of twice a day I use it once every other day. About 2 months ago I ran out and couldn't afford to get to the doctor for a new prescription so I just went without it. My breathing got so bad that I felt like I was living on my rescue inhaler. Just finally got my new prescription today and after one use I'm already feeling better.

The only downside to this medication is the cost and since I don't have insurance it's all out of pocket. "


"Followed a very light diet 2 days before prep day to minimize volume. No meat, nothing spicy. Just eggs, pasta, lots of water. Took 1st dose at 5pm after liquids all day. In hindsight, I would stop drinking anything about an hour before because the bloat of 16oz of solution then 32oz of water within an hour was uncomfortable. Drank with a straw as far back in my throat as possible and held my nose. Didn't want to drag it out so finished it within 5 minutes. Chewed peppermint gum afterwards to kill the taste; the last 3 sips were rough to get down. It began working in about 30 minutes. 2 hrs/6 trips to the potty and I seem to be done. Morning will be hard. Water on an empty stomach in the a.m always makes me nauseous."


"I used Nizoral for about 8 years.  It was excellent for eliminating dandruff which was a bad problem.  But about one year ago I started having severe itching on my upper back and upper front (chest) area.  It was complete itching so severe that benadryl ointment (over the counter) for poison ivy relief and similar products were needed to calm the itchiness.  Crazy itchiness!  My dermatologist gave me steroid creams for the itching and I requested a biopsy to find out more.  Inflammation showed.  I decided to quit using Nizoral and finally the itching went away mostly.  I use baby shampoo now followed by Head and Shoulders shampoo.  So far so good.  Be warned that you might develop an allergy to Nizoral or the generic years later."


"I have been using symbicort for a week now and can breath better, and don't have to use my albuterol at all. I do keep albuterol handy though. The only side effects I have right now is a pounding heartbeat and nervousness and my eyes are a little irritated. Hope my side effects get better because I really like this inhaler."


"I am on risperidone 3 mg x 2 times. It works great. Only problem until now is the weight gain."


"This is a somewhat decent drug. It stabilizes my depression. However, it's not perfect in relieving my symptoms completely. It also has two side effects that have really affected my life: insomnia and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)."


"I got Nexplanon bc in July 2015. Which means I've had it for about 3-4 months. I haven't gained weight, but I lost muscle and gained a ton of fat. I didn't notice any spotting until a couple weeks after I got it put in but I haven't stopped spotting and it SUCKS. I'll give it the 6 months it needs but I really don't need/recommend it."


"Doesnt do much for the pain.
Take 20 mg x2 per day.
Helps with tight muscles."


"While it did work, it burned, itched and caused swelling way more than the yeast infection itself.  The infection did go away. "


"Ibuprofen 600/ or 800 is a great pain reliever. Although I've taken many pain medicines over the years, ibuprofen I find to be just as effective as the strong control substances. It's a good anti-inflammatory too. Works great for severe menstrual cramps and tooth pain as well."


"I have been prescribed Oxycontin 60mg for well over 6 years now in just in the last 2 months I have gotten a refill  I know for a fact that either the manufacturer or where they get  their medication through there has been a shortage of the medication per the dosage compared to what it used to be. I don't know at what level this is occurring .  Whether this is another Government regulation that says if someone is prescribed 60mg tablets the manufacturer is only allowed to put 30mg in that tablet?  I have been on this same medication for a long time and starting December 2015 and January 2016 my medication has been shorted. My body goes through tremendous withdrawal symptoms each month I refill this medication.  I need an answer."


"I have CHRONIC sacroiliac joint and coccyx pain that does not show up on MRI or X-ray and I've used this patch for a little over 1 month with NO side effects whatsoever.  I do notice that it takes about 2 to 3 days to feel the "full effect" of the medication and I do notice the increase in pain if I skip a day.  Maximum pain for me WITH the patch is about a 2 and that's great."


"I've never written a review for a drug  before.  I'm 47. When I started thinning a couple of years ago I freaked out and started looking into this drug.  I read thousands of reviews.  Many of them negative.  But I went ahead and started taking it anyway.  Thankfully it worked for me.  I've been on it for 2 years.  I experienced weird ejaculations / less intense orgasms starting about 3 days into taking it.  It freaked me out, but I kept taking it as some of the reviews explained these side effects were temporary.  Yes, the side effect went away on its own after about 2 months and all went back to normal.  I noticed my hair loss stopped on its tracks about 3 weeks into taking it.  Now I've regrown a lot of lost hair back. It changed my life."


"I have frequent YI due to several rounds of antibiotics over the winter (i was sick often). I usually use the Monistat 1 with the ointment in the applicator, not the ovule. At this point I've done it enough to know to go to sleep immediately after inserting it. I've never experienced the burning and pain some have, just an uncomfortable itching sensation deep in my vagina. This is the first time I've used the ovule and while I didn't have any pain or itching, it did not work at all. A week later and my YI is still going strong. With the ointment, it usually clears up significantly by the next morning. Now I have to spend another $20 because this time was useless. I'll be using the pre filled ointment applicators from now on. NOT the ovule."


"I was on this med for about 2 months.  During that time I started losing my hair and ended up losing quite a bit of it especially on the frontal part.  It did give me more energy but I also had a hard time keeping my anxiety in check.  I don't remember having the customary side effects and my body seemed to tolerate it quite well.  If it hadn't been for the hair loss and anxiety issues, I probably would have stayed on it.  I decided to go back on Paxil again a couple of days ago because I really had few problems with that except for weight gain if I don't watch myself."


"I have been on Tenormin for about 4 years. It certainly has taken care of the heart palpitations. I do not take any caffeine. But other side-effects have occurred: asthma has gotten worse,  I get winded after running only one and a half mile, more often than not, I feel tired, my hair is thinning, I have esophageal spasms, which I have read that Tenormin may induce upper GI problems. I am going off the medication to see if it makes a difference. I exercise regularly, and 7 years ago, my Doctor suggested I take Beta-Blockers, which I wasn't keen on, but since I exercise, he said it wasn't that imperative that I take it. So I'd rather run regularly, and efficiently and be off it."


"Terrible joint pain after 4 days. "


"For me, Victoza was a life-changing drug. For decades, I struggled with unexplained hunger and weight gain. I had every possible test done. Finally, after tests showed a slightly elevated A1c, I suggested to my doctor we try Victoza. And it worked. Yes, there was nausea. But the medication actually worked BETTER the longer I was on it. I attribute this to loss of appetite, (after several months, I no longer experienced the raging hunger I once did). I admit that nausea continues to be a problem (and the only side effect), so I’ll try decreasing Victoza to 1.2, then .6 if that doesn’t work. Despite the nausea, the drug has been well-worth it for me. I finally feel like myself again. I guess what I’m saying is, “Don’t lose hope!”"


"I've used Clobetasol Propinate for several years now. I have to use the ointment, the creme burns when I apply it. But it heals the cracks and itching and bleeding I get from my outbreaks."


"I took Xenical years ago. Was working a very physical postal job so I did get quite a bit of exercise but before taking it had not lost much. Once I started it, I lost thirty pounds within a couple of months with very little effort. Side effects were minimal as long as I didnt eat excessive fat but as good as it worked, I could handle them."


"After just one day, my symptoms were almost totally gone.  It worked well."


"Did some yawning in the first week and then my libido started to diminish. After two weeks my yawning went away and was replaced with clarity and a clear mind. The unfortunate downside at 20 mg after two weeks was absolute zero libido, I couldn't have an erection. It's too bad because it's a very effective medicine otherwise. I've switched to Wellbutrin, haven't started it, going through a one-week wash off Celexa."


"I was taking orsythia for about 2 years but I switched to a stronger kind which was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Orsythia did wonders for my acne. I tend to get cystic acne but when I was on this pill I would break out maybe once every three months. Also, my ovarian cyst went away and my periods weren't as painful and a lot lighter. The only thing it didn't help was my anxiety but it definitely didn't make it worse. I love this pill but it seems to effect everyone differently so you won't know unless you try it."


"I have dealt with seizures for 6 years. I started off with Depakote and changed over to Lamictal back in June. I started off with 100 mg split in 1/2, 50mg (morning and at night). Now I'm taking three pills in the morning and night 75 mg. I don't see that much of results. With Depakote I didn't experience seizures. "


"A doctor first diagnosed me as bipolar in 2007. My mania was out of control from about 2009-2014. Incidentally, I had two seizures in 2014 and started taking Keppra. I have noticed the Keppra has also made a difference in controlling mania. I hope this works for others also. I had to mention it because I would not have taken Keppra had it not been for the seizures. I have not had any bad side effects with Keppra."


"Adderall IR had the same duration of action as Adderall XR for me. Both of them only had lasting effects for four hours and then quit."


"After smoking a pack a day for 20 years, Champix worked. I stayed at half the dose and after 2 weeks went down to 1/4 of the dose. Stayed on it for about 8 weeks in total. It was enough to keep me from smoking when I really wanted one. I did find there were side effects, but it was hard to tell if it was the Champix or not having nicotine in my system anymore.  I told a lot of people, family and coworkers, that I was taking it just in case so they could watch out for any serious side effects. Overall, I think it is worth a try."


"Been using colchicine for over 20 years. No noticeable side effects but do get my bloods checked annually. Only problem was when returned to using it after a two year break. Some diarrhea at first but this stopped after a few weeks once body built up tolerance to drug."


"I have to say every birth control effects everyone differently. For me the implant was amazing at first it's good for three years no daily pill to take nothing to worry about. At first I didn't have regular periods until 3 months when I did start bleeding I would bleed more heavily, until this past June I started bleeding for 3 weeks at a time having awful breakouts, mood swings. I recently got the implant removed because this form of birth control kills your sex drive and seriously who wants to be on their period for weeks at a time. I will say that this birth control is very effective ! I was on it for a year and 4 months and did not get prego! I say try it out because this form of birth control may be for you or it might not be."


"I have been using NuvaRing for year. I have had no negative side effects from using it. I have been on hormonal birth control for 10 years and this is the best option I've used. I have been on three different pills in the past and they all had negative side effects, that I have not seen with NuvaRing. I feel that as with any medication, every one affects a person different and it's about finding the right medication for your body."


"I have had 3 other colonoscopy preps. This is by far the most expensive and worst tasting. I was barely able not to vomit. I had nausea and bloating for an hour and a half."


"My dermatologist recommended this product. As a teenager I was diagnosed with Eczema/Atopic Dermatitis. I would have experienced breakouts  of it , I no longer experience breakouts, however I remained with dark spots all over my body, main problem area-my legs. I am now 30 years old. My now dermatologist rediagnosed me with Lichen Planus and indicated that it would take approximately 3 series of treatments to experience results, used the product faithfully for a little over 6 -8 weeks and I see zero improvement thus far, I am to return to the DR. for a review & prescription."


"This did absolute wonders to my warts. I had them in my anal area. The first day no improvement the second it all was gone, there was moderate burning and aching but it was worth it."


"Well I got skyla put in about 3 or 4 weeks ago. i have 3 kids already so the insertion was nothing lol compared to what I have read! It barely hurt just mild cramping and a tiny bit of pressure. But so far I've had nausea with this and alot of spotting :/ the spotting started abt 4 or 5 days after I got it out in and it has not stopped !! Well I went in for the follow up to check the placement of it and I asked my Dr when the spotting would most likely stop and she said a couple weeks on and off so I'm still waiting for it to stop this is the only thing I don't like abt it."


"I was prescribed Nucynta for severe neck/shoulder pain. After taking only 2, 75mg pills I was rushed to the ER with severe breathing problems. I have never had any issues with pain medicines before."


"I had my dosage increased 100 mg last year to 400 mg/day, and noticed an increase in side effects.  My short term memory is awful, especially with names.  I've also noticed mood swings, weight gain, and sensitivity have increased, and I'm still having seizures.  It appears it's not the drug for me."


"I have been on Pristiq for almost 4 years. I have almost no go to pain on this medication however the side effects of no sexual drive and no emotions are so much better than the excruciating pain I was in. I highly recommend this medication for fibro but please read every bit of information you can about trying to get off of it. Makes you want to die with the withdraws.  And I don't have health insurance so I have to pay $335 per month but it is so worth it to be able to function in life."


"I was so glad when my doctor started me on the Enbrel shots. I wasn't sure it would work considering my body was totally covered.  Although it started in my head but it wasn't long before it made it's way all over my body. I started the shots in Aug/2008 and by Nov/2008 I didn't look like anything was ever wrong with my skin."


"Good relief with NO fog."


"OK, so I am prone to addiction to drugs that impact the GABA neurotransmitter system--benzos, phenobarbital (all prescribed, BTW). Gabapentin is no different, I am now on a long, slow detox from this nasty stuff. Rare, but not that rare per my detox docs, and a brutal withdrawal-not quite klonopin brutal, but I have better docs now too. IF you have any history of having a hard time getting off alcohol, benzos or other GABA drugs, approach gabapentin and it's cousin Neurontin, with great trepidation."


"I'm cured!! Only 8 weeks of treatment, no side effects and I'm cured from Hep C after 15 years!"


"Tramadol doesn't work for me. I'm very sensitive to any medications but I suffer from fibromyalgia, back pain, neck pain and depression, this med. make me feel dizzy, rash on my cheeks and headaches"


"Breakthrough bleeding for 2 straight weeks. It's not worth it to me."


"I was on Lyrica for a year. Then my insurance decided hey we aren't paying for this anymore and I had to stop. And it was a just stop completely not a wean off of it. Started on. Gabapentin 800 3x a day. Has done Nothing for me. I am miserable.  If you need help paying for it go to there website and they will actually pay for the medication for you. For a year then you just reapply. I will be getting mine back finally this week. And I can't wait to get back on it so I can actually be a mom and a wife again. Without laying in bed all day suffering."


"This medication is an absolute waste of time. I have been on Invega for a little less than 2 years now and I can with absolute confidence ascertain that it has done nothing for me. Aside from the decrease in sexual appetite and libido, difficulty having and maintaining erections, little to no ejaculatory fluid (which is really frustrating btw), the muscle tremors I am experiencing, and the 30 pounds I have gained since starting this medication , it is with no doubt an absolute and total waste of money. I definitely would not recommend this medication to anyone. Save yourselves the time and money and DO NOT take this medication."


"I don't know why anyone would prescribe Seroxat for depression. I was given this for anxiety and depression and while it does help my anxiety to some extent, it doesn't work as an 'antidepressant' and actually gives me suicidal tendencies and for that reason I would recommend not taking it for depression. I take 40mg and plan to stop taking Seroxat and choosing something safer and more effective."


"I have suffered from car sickness (all of my life) and vertigo and motion-sickness for about 10 years now. The last two are  triggered by my seasonal allergies. :(  Most OTC medicines make me sleepy, but the patch worked great on our 4 day cruise. I was not sick on the 5 hour drive to the ship either. I was even able to look over the balcony at the water!! It also did not make me tired and I plan to use it again on our upcoming cruise!!  My husband used Dramamine and was not sick, but had to take a nap after each dosage. Due to his medications, he was not able to use the patch. My teenage son will be using the patch on his first cruise with us because he also suffers like me.  I pray his results will be as great!!"


"I was with my paterner and the condom broke and she's on birth control but we were scared because she should have been ovulating around that day or so so we went straight to Walmart and she took it three hours after 2 weeks later the period is rough but we'be never wanted to see one so bad"


"I was given Dexilant for irritable bowel syndrome due to severe pain after eating on my left side.  The pain disappeared and I felt great.  No more problems sleeping or getting up in the middle of the night for a bowel movement.  Then I started realizing that I was itching all over, but nothing was there.  There was a prickly feeling in my skin all over which got worse at night. I also seemed to have a sensitivity to fabrics including smooth microfiber.  When I looked up the medicine I noticed you are only supposed to take it for 8 weeks (taken 30 days) and that it has a slew of side effects including itching.  As much as it has cured my stomach issues, I can't take the itching constantly so I am quitting."


"I've been using Mirvaso since it came out.  It really helps me.  I use a small amount and usually mix it with moisturizer or Metrogel before applying it"


"I began using this medication February 5, 2009 and have lost 25 pounds to date. I follow the 1200 calorie intake recommended and go dancing twice a week as exercise. This medication is a great jump start to changing your eating habits. I no longer need to eat pizza, burger, fries, or soda to feel full. Grilled chicken salad is now my new favorite meal. If used appropriately it should help reach your goal."


"I had a bacterial infection, either an UTI or a stomach bacteria which made my stomach round and very achy. I started taking this medicine along with Cipro and the first day I felt much better. I took this medicine 3 times a day. I did not have any side effects. I got better. My stomach and bladder are fine. I don't know what I had but I glad I got rid of it with this medication."


"I've had this birth control for almost two years now and in the beginning I had horrible mood swings, granted I was already diagnosed with depression prior to getting this birth control. On top of the mood swings I gained 20 pounds despite going to the gym religiously and creating meal plans. What really is driving me to get this removed are the headaches that it causes as well as feeling light headed, nauseous, tender breasts, and tired all the time. I was really worried for a while thinking I had a serious condition and after a couple tests my doctor realized it was the implants side effects. The reason I'm giving it 5 and not something lower is because it is amazing at preventing pregnancy I just wish I would of reacted better to it."


"This medication was horrible.  The taste was really bad.  I would not recommend it at all. I threw up several times while drinking this.  But I am not good with liquid preps so that may be why.  I even tried mixing it with 7-up.  This has a horrible disgusting taste to it."


"I've been taking this injection monthly for 9 years and have been extremely happy with the way it's improved my quality of life.  I use my rescue inhaler less and I need prednisone courses very infrequently.  Although I try hard to be regimented about getting my shot, I forget to schedule the appt. and/or the delivery to my doctor's office.  My body can tell when it's ready for the next one.  I feel badly for the person who's posted with such hostility on here about it not working for him/her.  It's a godsend for me and many other severe asthmatics."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I was worried going into this medicine after reading so many negative things. I took it for 14 days and had minimal side effects. I feel like it did what it was intended to do, and am grateful my pain has ceased and am feeling human again.  The only side effects I had were a headache one day...drowsiness...bad taste in the mouth a couple times, and a pretty active female yeast infection.  All of which are better now.  Good luck, to those who need it . Wishing you good results too."


"I have been on Pristiq for 9 months now. I had the night sweats in the beginning and they went away after about 3 weeks. I thought the only other side effect I've experienced was when I would forget to take a pill. The next day I would be dizzy and would snap at people. The following day would be back to normal. I also have a bite guard to help with the jaw at night. I don't use it that often. I noticed in the past week my depression returning slightly. I was confused because Pristiq has worked wonders for me. Realized I have a sensitivity to caffeine. I love Dr. Pepper and quit drinking it when I started Pristiq. Started drinking DP again and had stomach problems and depression. So no more caffeine! I take 50mg."


"Today I was diagnosed w. Chlamydia, I've had it over 9 months. The clinic gave me two 500mg tablets. 20 minutes after consumption, my stomach began to ache and I was nauceous. It may be because I didn't eat anything before. I drank some water and ate a bag of chips. An hour passed and my stomach was still upset so I ate a Reese cup milkshake & chicken nuggets from McDonalds. ( obviously not the best ) the pain and nausea subsided a bit afterwards. After that I took a short 35 minute nap, when I got up I felt dizzy and my stomach started to bubble lol. Now I'm at work & its 90 degrees here in las Vegas. Its best to take at night when you can lay down and be close to a toilet."


"Headaches are crippling but it's worth it! I'm insulin resistant and was taking very high doses of Lantus, Novolog and Metformin. Now, I have severely cut the Novolog back to 3 to 5 units before meals if I need it at all! Lantus has been cut back as well. My sugars run from 90 to 120. First time in 2 years. I do seem to get a severe headache like once a week and some nausea."


"I've been on carbamazepine for 1 week. My head is empty and, I don't feel like myself at all. Feeling nauseous and, the only time I feel 'normal' is when I eat. I have been doing more around the house but, it's like being on auto pilot. This is the first mood stabiliser I've been on so, hoping I get my brain back soon or, I will definitely stop taking it."


"Works for me."


"I understand this medicine is relatively new and very expensive.  Not covered in some cases.  While I have been on it only 3 weeks, I experience insomnia.  Have to take Tylenol PM. Feeling cold all the time.  Cramps have
increased in leg, knees and hand mostly at night.  Unable to
walk as much without muscle pains.  Take 5mg daily. Hope
this helps."


"I wrote a review Sept 1! So yes, it did great like I said for healing my acne on my chin and keeping it at bay. My birth control, after being on it for a month, hasn't quite cleared my acne so I've been forming some new spots with the aczone. My derm just put me on tazorac 5 days ago (a type of retinol) so hopefully I begin to get some more clearing! I suggest, so did my derm, using aczone with some other medication. I love aczone though, I definitely believe it's helping! I use it in the morning after cleansing with cetaphil and I apply it, then apply lotion and whatever makeup 20 mins after. My derm did bump me up to the 7.5%."


"Wellbutrin has saved my life. It's a miracle. About 6 months ago I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and localized anxiety disorder. I was put on Lexapro, which didn't help much, and the side effects were awful; total loss of sex drive, bad headaches, and nightmares every night. Then, about 3 months ago they put me on 200mg of Wellbutrin daily and I started feeling better within a week. It was incredible! I am now happier than I have ever been. I feel like a new improved version of myself. My sex drive has drastically improved, but my appetite has not returned. In fact I have lost weight despite not changing my eating or exercising habits. Other than those I have no side effects."


"Actively particepated in physical activities in Army long service. During that time didn't have any ortho problems. little crossing over 60 yrs age I noticed pain with cracking sound in my Rt knee in regular brisk walking. The pain was not subsided with various topical creams from Homoeopath as well as Allopathic NSAIDS.Instead,severely suffered with agrevatred pain in knee and stiffness in ankle Jt in same leg. One day I came accross prominent action of NAPROXEN in OA.Following 500 mgs BD after meals for fortnight, the neproxen proved to be excellent and brushed aside all other subtitutes. It has rejuvenated my previous strength in carrying out day today works. No side affects observed."


"Loosened phlegm but makes you feel VERY dizzy, drowzy, and dehydrated."


"I sprayed this on my mild sunburn and it intensified the burn by 5.  I  immediately had to shower with cool water. Instead of having my mild sunburn I ended up with a really intense sunburn.  It was horrible experience!  Parents should be really careful using this product on children."


"I love this once a day use and have been sick less since on this medicine. I love it, have not had to use my rescue inhaler as much and in 2 years only 2 ER visits and only a couple of attacks instead of weekly."


"It really helped my skin irritation. Cleared it up in 2-3 weeks. Works great."


"I just started on this birth control. I switched from Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo. Unfortunately I have horrible acne on my back and some on my face, especially during that time of the month. Since I started taking this birth control, I have noticed the acne on my back is starting to clear up. My face is getting better also. I noticed I'm not as hungry either. I haven't experienced crazy mood swings or depression even if I did, I'd probably stick it out because I've had back acne since I was 16 years old and I'm 21 now. I'm ready for my back to look normal again. I recommend this pill."


"Excellent sleep aid. I would get up in the middle of night two to three times. I had taken Ambien with terrible results (getting up and eating and not remembering things I did when I woke up). Tried Silenor and it helps me sleep during the night. I still may get up once to go to bathroom but go back to sleep right after that. Great medicine and recommend to any one who has trouble staying asleep."


"Didn't help much. Did the 3 day one."


"Right off the bat - the insertion/measuring of the cervix  was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life.  I have horrible cramps and my tolerance for pain is high. But this pain cannot be explained - I took naproxen before and was on my period while getting inserted. All that "timing makes a difference" is rubbish. It makes no difference - you either feel pain or you don't.  THAT BEING SAID - this birth control has been great. I am only 2 months in and my body is still getting used to it ie - copper smell, spotting and longer periods and cramping. But I FEEL LIKE ME and there is no weight gain. I recommend for anyone who doesn't want hormones! I am so against birth control and can't believe I'm saying how good this one is! definitely recommend!"


"After a diagnosis of Stage IIIA Breast Cancer, 2 separate modified radical surgeries with lymph node removal and chemotherapy, I was then put on Arimidex.  Had major joint pain, body aching, nauseous and anxiety, to name a few.  I tried NSAIDs and many narcotic medications without success.  Eventually, I was put on AVINZA three years ago.  FINALLY RELIEF!  I have no side effects from AVINZA.  I take a capsule every 12 hours.  The dosage has been varied but little else is required for breakthrough.  I don't know what is different about this narcotic but thankfully, it works for me."


"The condom ripped on Aug 16th but he did not finish inside of me. The chance of getting pregnant from pre-cum is much less than the chance of getting pregnant from semen, but it still might be possible, so to be safe I got plan b one step. My period tracker had estimated I was to ovulate the 17th. I had taken the pill 16 hours after sex. I did experience nausea, lower stomach pain, dizziness and tiredness but it was nothing too extreme. I was expected to get my period Aug 31st and I got my period yesterday, Aug 22nd! A week early! My cramps are worse than usual but nothing I can't hadle! Better than being 16 and pregnant! Take the pill ASAP and let it do its thing. DONT stress girls. Be positive and keep yourself busy!!(:"


"If your scared to try something new I completely understand! I was really nervous about trying Zoloft, but I have to say I'm happy I did! I've only been taking it for a week for my anxiety disorder, stress, ptsd and depression. It has helped me feel more balanced and I'm a lot more calm. I'm happier and I can tell it helps me not have so many negative thoughts that bring on my anxiety about things. I can tell it's helping become a better mom and wife already. I hope it continues to work for me, because I was under a lot of stress and always worrying about stuff and I couldn't take the way I felt anymore. I had nausea and dizziness like the first 2 days, but then it went away. Stick with it if you want to see a difference! :)"


"I couldn't stop crying and this medicine made me stop.
When it starts to wear off I know because I feel the tears coming back. I only take 5mg a day but have to increase at weeks end due to being tired so I increase to 7.5mg (break the pill) then go back to 5 mg on Monday.  It works for me.  Only negative is a small craving for cigarettes.  My Doc gave it to me for free.  Hope insurance covers it."


"I got nexplanon 7/2/2014 and it is now 8/7/2015 . Let me say the good of this first (it'll be very short) I'm not pregnant and two I didn't gain weight. Now for the cons : I have been bleeding ever since I got it and only stop 2-3 days every 2 months . I get irratiable VERY easily. It's not spotting either it's like a period that I am bleeding my doctor says give it a couple more months but I am tired of bleeding so much, so I think I am gonna have my doctor take it out and go on something else."


"Very helpful for short term treatment of anxiety and insomnia. I found I only needed to take half dose to have a good nights sleep and to feel calm the next day. Such a relief after 2 years cancer treatment left me very tired and anxious. Only problem is the doctors don't like it to be used other than for short term."


"I fell over a year ago and have had chronic back pain ever since. I have bulging discs in L3,4 and 5, degenerating discs, and spinal stenosis. I have tried Norco, which no longer works. I recently tried Nucynta (no pain relief and very tired side effects), so I am sticking with the Opana. Overall it does a pretty good job with pain. I just feel like my tolerance is building up over the 9 or so months I have been taking it. I take 20 ER first thing in the morning, and 10 mg IR one or two more times during the day. I still take Norco for breakthrough pain, but even that doesn't seem to touch the pain anymore... I recommend Opana for pain relief and I can still work with a clear head!"


"Pristiq has been the best depression medication that I have tried even though it is supposed to have adverse side effects with other medications I am currently taking. I like it so much that I am reluctant to try something else since no other anti-depressant has been as effective."


"I feel the need to warn people about the withdrawal symptoms of getting off of this drug. I am home right now because I feel nauseated, my coordination is way off. I have severe head shock, and can't sleep. Look for these types of stories before taking these types of medicines."


"I was prescribed co-ciprofloxacin for a urintary tract infection.  I took one pill and within a few hours Ii became beat red, all over my body, as if I had been sitting in the sun for hours,  My face was scarlet and I was itchy all over and I was  constantly scratching and appying creams, but to no avail.  I have Lupus and MS and my joint pain is worse as a result of the drug.  I have always had beautiful skin, peaches and cream complexion,  and almost no wrinkles or lines in my face.  After taking only one pill, I now have wrinkles and lines - it completely destroyed my skin.  I also have balance issues, directly caused by the drug.  I have a dizzyness in the morning when getting out of bed. I am going to talk to a lawyer."


"I started my journey on August the 10th it has been almost two weeks since being prescribed this medication and I have nothing but great things to say about it! I have lost an additional 4 lbs since my first weigh in at 208 on August 9th. Even the few side effects that I have are totally worth it. I almost immediately get dry mouth not long after taking the pill but I am consuming at least 64 oz of water daily that is good! Previously I would choose other things no so great for me. Slight constipation although it could be my vitamin, I can deal with that. I am extremely energized. I am eating way less but do try to stay conscious of making sure to nibble throughout the day. My diet is normal I eat what I want but stay under 1800 Calories."


"Works very good as a stimulant in the treatment. It also helps in calming the brain. Storm of thoughts without the hyperfocus that other stimulants seem to bring on."


"Soooo, I get a call saying I need to get checked, and of course I'm all butt hurt because I've had like one fling in my whole life and of course it's the only guy I didn't use protection with. So I go in, I get tested. I get the results. It's chlyamidia. My doctor prescribes me the drink powder and honestly, taking the medicine was terrible because the powder doesn't desolve all the way so I had to keep refilling my glass. I gagged a lot so just be careful with it. I ate right after I took it and it took about 30 minutes for the stomach cramps to start in. They were pretty uncomfortable, but I didn't get diarrhea just the cramps. It's not great, but I mean. It's the price I pay. Just gonna sleep it off. And probably never have sex again."


"I have been on numerous medicines that did not work. Dr finally put me on Tekturna and blood pressure really came down. However I have had to change insurance and they require proof that other medicines have not worked, they don't want to pay because it is expensive."


"This medication did nothing....absolutely NOTHING for me, if fact, there were days when I actually felt like the world was crashing down on me for absolutely no reason, so I have a suspicion that it made my anxiety actually worse. I had pretty damn severe anxiety to start with, but like I said there were days when I was crying and hyperventilating when there wasnt even anything going on. The only good news is it didnt give me any other side effects...besides the increased anxiety. I didnt get the dizziness or fatigue that I was warned about, I'm so happy it didnt make me nauseous at all, which I was really worried about (one of my phobias is vomiting so...yea).

Make sure you take this med at the same times each day, I made that mistake."


"After nearly 20 years of anxiety and depression, I am finally free.  Zoloft has improved my life beyond belief.  No more blushing, feeling uncomfortable or uneasy.  The first 2 weeks were tough (nausea, loss of appetite, trembling, etc.), but boy am I glad I stuck it out.  A 100mg pill to a new life.

I thank god everyday that I found a doctor and a medication that have given me my life back.  A night and day difference."


"Before Lexapro, my anxiety would take over my life. I would worry too much about little things and had trouble remaining calm in social situations. I had trouble sleeping and would feel sick to my stomach from all the anxiety I would get. Lexapro helped all of these symptoms for me! I am only 21 years old but I feel like it changed my whole outlook on life, and I can handle it much easier now. Little things don't get to me, and I tend to live for the moment instead of worrying about tomorrow. I feel like myself again and that I am in control, and my thoughts no longer control me. I recommend this for anxiety, or anxiety that can lead to depression. It took about a month to completely work for me, so be paitent!"


"I found this treatment to be long and a bit scary as to how much you have to insert, however, after the first night it was like putting in a tampon but it leaked. I had no troubles with it except that it leaked which really was unpleasant. I slept with a towel underneath but I was pregnant so I was used to sleeping weird."


"I have non allergic or vasomotor rhinitis so my nose constantly was running whether I was eating/drinking, exercising, cold weather, etc.  I couldn't go anywhere without Kleenex.  This nasal spray totally cured my runny nose. I'll never go without it.  I don't have to carry Kleenex anymore.  I use the 0.03 prescription and use it less then prescribed. The only down side to this drug is that it dries out my eyes. The first couple of days I thought it dried my nose out too but that went away with use and perhaps using it a little less."


"There are so many women who have trouble that I thought I would write a review. I have tried many birth control options over the years. and ALWAYS got very sick. I recently tried loestrein and was really sick. So my doctor gave me the patch. I had tried ortho eva.  Years ago. And was very sick. Sick to my stomach. Couldn't keep anything down. I'm on my second patch. The first week I was moody and wanted to throw out the patch but it went away. I'm not sick like on the pill. Due to some health problems I think any hormones make me a little tired. So in the future I plan on something permanent but until then the patch is working. I'm not getting super sick.

So if you are considering trying it. It's worth a try. Everyone is different."


"Diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia, mayofascial pain, IBS. Went through nerve studies etc and muscle biopsy. Finally told I had severe fibromyalgia. The problem was that it was progressing every month. I became suicidal due to pain levels, couldn't walk 10 meters. It saves lives. I might not have the fibromyalgia type you have but this medicine saved my life and if you think spending $30 to try it is a waste then it means you did not suffer enough. I lost it all, wife, home, job but a simple flu tablet got me back everything and it even took my eczema, IBS I had for years. God bless those who came up with that theory. Theory might be wrong but it does the job."


"I am 21 years old. I started Trinessa when I was 18 for birth control. The pill was wonderful, and I stayed on it for about 8 months or so. I stopped the pill for six months, but because my periods become irregular I started the pill again. This time I've been on it the longest probably a year and a half or 2. I think the last 6 months or so have been hell. I experienced cramping, bloating, and nausea starting on week 2 of the pill pack. Close to week 3 I have a series of migraines. The headaches were too much for me. I stopped the pills and am now on Loestrin 24 Fe. I just started week two, so I don't know how well these work. Overall Trinessa is an effective pill. I think my body just got tired of it. I hope my review helps!"


"My first month was fine! I am a very emotional person and prone to anxiety attacks, and it never made it worse! Almost felt like it made it better... HOWEVER, after the first month, I started having itchy skin, vaginal discharge, vaginal burning and irritation, hives all over my body, eczema on MY FINGERS! Really weird stuff... went to the doctor and got tested for EVERYTHING! including STDS. All negative. The only thing we could think of was this birth control. Kept taking it for a third month, symptoms got worse, even started gaining weight and acne! Stopped taking it on a Saturday, it is now Thursday: Most all symptoms are gone. It had to be the BC..."


"Have been using Lantus for 3 weeks. Injecting 15-20 units per day and have not experienced a substantial reduction in glucose readings. Am upping dose to 24 units/day. Also have been taking 2.5g of Metformin with insulin shots. When my glucose goes above 300, I need to take 4mg of Glimepiride to knock it down. "


"Worked great but it also worked on smoking when I took the pill in the morning I didn't crave, think about, or smoke a cigarette! I took the pill at 7 am and knew when it wore off at around 2pm because I would start craving a cigarette. I only had a trial for three days and would like to try it again because I really hate smoking and this pill work wonders in the smoking department! Also worked for food cravings and when I did eat I ate half of what I normally would!"


"I started on the patch for my acne, but my skin had allergic reaction to the patch. It gave me no side effects, so the doctor changed me to oral contraceptive. The one with the closest hormone dosage to the patch was Levora (called MinOvral in Canada).

I have been on it for 6 years now. The only side effect I have experienced is mild breakouts right when I start a new pack after a week off, but I can put up with that. It is also slightly pricier than many other oral contraceptives. Unfortunately my school's insurance plan does not completely cover it, but it is still affordable."


"I've been using CARBAMAZEPINE 200mg twice a day for about two years. It does a good job in limiting the amount of pain I have with Trigeminal Neuralgia. I found it best to take the medication regularly. If I skip days when I am not having problems the pain will be right back and it will take several days to get it back under control. I've tried GABAPENTIN 300mg and OXCARBAZEPINE 150mg but they did not help. The CARBAMAZEPINE makes me tired and sleepy but that is a lot better than the pain."


"DO NOT TRY IT. I know some of you have had good experiences and some have had bad ones. There as been more bad ones then there are good I know that much.  I took this medicine for my dry cough that I was having, I felt fine for a little while, went to sleep. And then about an hour after going to sleep I woke up in a full blown panic attack. I felt like I was going to black out, I kept having hot flashes, and severe stomach pain. The feeling of throwing up was pretty bad too, but it never happened.  I was shaking and almost went to the hospital."


"After reading all of these helpful reviews, I thought to myself...why not add my input in order to help other ladies that might also be struggling with the never-ending journey of finding the right birth control, because my god is it frustrating.

I got the Liletta IUD inserted in May 2016, so it's been in for nearly 7 months. The insertion hurt a lot, and I was in a fair amount of pain afterwards (could hardly drive myself home). I bled for a month or two, and after that it was like a dream. No periods. Perfect skin. No weight gain. I kept having to remind myself that I was protected and didn't have to worry. Then about 3 months later I started experiencing incredibly bad acne all over my face. Still experiencing it. Getting it out asap."


"its hard for me to remember to take the pill and when the pain du to HBO comes Azor takes at least 2-3 days to work , Really expensive pill at $13.50 each at Walgreens , Insurance deductible each month is $98.00"


"After years of messing around with various diets, pills, etc - and getting down to 125 lbs (I'm a 51 year old male, 5'9") - Elavil has apparently cured my IBS-D.  I still avoid dairy and spicy food (also have GERD) - but basically, I'm cured.  I've also gained 25 lbs - which is actually too much.  It does seem to increase your appetite.  But - that's a trade-off I'm willing to make.  I have no idea why I wasn't given this med by my GI guy.  I was actually given it by my PCP for Anxiety, and I wanted something that wouldn't make my IBS-D worse."


"Dilaudid in the E.R. and went home with prescription for Toradol after for 5 days. This worked well."


"I've been on alesse for 2 months now. I feel extremely tired all the time, even after drinking coffee and usually coffee makes me wired. I constantly feel bloated even when I haven't eaten anything. Then when I do eat something I feel like I'm about to throw up. I've noticed that I've gained a little bit of weight especially around my tummy/hips. My mood swings are all over the place (I'll cry and get cranky over the dumbest things ALL THE TIME)..Definitely would not recommend this birth control and plan to go off it asap."


"It may take almost 2 hours, but it always works!
This medicine has never failed me, and I'm using it for almost 20 years.

Side effects - Sometimes nothing, sometimes extreme fatigue. My recommendation: go take a nap 45 - 60 minutes after taking it. You'll wake up with no remains of the migraine attack."


"Somewhat helped for a few months, but then my irritable bowel syndrome got worse.  Even ER medicines didn't relieve my pain. I have been suffering for 2 years and haven't found a medicine that will help."


"I've had Nexplanon since July 2016. From July to December I was bleeding non stop. The bleeding let up on random days, but continued to have a period. My gyno put me on 1 mg estrogen pills to help me regulate and I stayed regulated until March 2017. Now I'm starting to have the brown discharge/spotting everyday, cramps, tender breasts, etc. Literally have pregnancy symptoms and I'm most definitely not pregnant. Since the Nexplanon was inserted in July I have gained all my pregnancy weight back (35lbs). I'm already on depression medication and since I've had the nexplanon it's like the medication doesn't even work. I'm tired ALL the time and depressed. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND. Only reason I gave it a 2 is because I didn't get pregnant."


"I'm 32 weeks 5 days pregnant. Was admitted into maternity yesterday after throwing up every few minutes all yesterday morning. They have me fluids and Gravol but that only made me drowsy, and did nothing for the throwing up so they decided to give me the Zofran. It started working as soon as it was into my body. It's was quick and very effective!"


"I have MS, and hadn't even considered that it was effecting moods- such as anger and constant crying. I've been taking Neudexta for approx. 3 months now. It has helped me exponentially! now I no longer cry all day, and I don't often yell! Neudexta really smoothed things out for me!"


"I started to take Escitalopram as only med to deal with a moderate-severe depression with anxiety and despersonalitation. After a try of 2 months, the medication did not work for me, my mood improve and stop the suicide thoughts, but I could not cope with the side effects, mainly parcial convulsions. I had seizures almost every day."


"I been suffering from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder for a few years now and have tried everything under the sun, but with the Effexor I am feeling great. It does have some side effects though, but lasted for a few days, but now gone. They include the following: Jitters, drowsiness, and a touch of nausea.  Although with the sadness and anxiety under control I now realize all the physical symptoms of PMDD. I rather have the physical symptoms over the emotions any day."


"Update: 2m 6d on Contrave and nearly all of the side effects are gone. I have lost 22lbs so far: 5'6.5" tall; starting weight 229; today's weight 207; goal weight 156. Have gone down approx. 1-2 dress sizes. If you can stand the side effects in the beginning, try to power through. Those should go away and the results are worth it. I have more motivation for both weight loss and everyday activities. I tapered up my dose slower than prescribed and I think it helped me better adjust to the med. Make sure to google "Contrave drug interactions" before starting, as there are quite a few serious ones. ScaleDown has also helped me evaluate day-to-day choices and realize it's time to make better ones."


"Belviq is so amazing! I'm so happy I did my research on this medicine and suggested it to my doctor. On Sunday 12/28/14 I weighed in at 359lbs. I began taking the pills that same morning. I have been eating a low calorie diet (healthy foods) and I've exercised 2 days already. I have had bad foods here and there but really the medicine makes me not want bad foods anymore or feel hungry as well as make me fuller faster. I'm supposed to weigh in on Sunday 1/4/14 but today I decided to take a sneak peak and I'm already down 4 lbs! That's 4 lbs in 5 days. I'm so happy and excited that it's working. If you have trouble with losing weight you should try Belviq, it's a miracle!"


"This drug does nothing for me at all"


"Had little to no effect on my ADHD"


"Good"


"My 5 year old son was given this medication for anger associated with ADHD. He started on 0.5 mg and it worked right away. He was better able to control his anger and frustration. I started noticing what I thought were tics which we attributed to a stimulant (and so discontinued that) but kept him on the Risperidone. In fact, the psychiatrist increased his dosage to 1 mg. While the medicine worked in terms of his anger/frustration, he developed a very scary side effect: tardive dyskinesia. I stopped the medicine rather abruptly because of the abnormal movements and we went through a grueling two weeks or so of withdrawal. I know this medicine has some positive effects, but please use with caution."


"I got on Aviane after 4 years off the pill and I have no complaints. No weight gain, good sex drive. I'm all about it!"


"I have been on this medication for 3 days and what a difference it has made.  I am on 10mg and I have tried 3 other antidepressants and they made me feel like a zombie and could not function. What a great antidepressant, I have more energy, everything seems normal.  I feel like my old self- 15 years ago."


"I was in school around 8:00 and started to feel a tingling sensation, by 10:00 I knew it was a cold sore. I had basketball practice after school until 7:30 so I couldn't use it as soon as I felt it. When I got home I took one pill, went to bed and took another in the morning. Its the next day and the swelling has gone done tremendously and its already getting flat, by tomorrow it will probably be gone."


"Had unprotected sex a day after my period ended and took Plan B 10 hrs later. No one told me it would make my period come again 5 days later. I looked up side effects and everything said if you bleed before your normal period then you may have an epitomic pregnancy. I'd never been more terrified in my life. Thanks for this forum or else I'd think something was wrong with me. So glad to see that it's normal."


"I've used salon pas for years, I have boxes of them in my car or at home. Even at work. But these new patches aren't good at all. I put it on and almost immediately them crinkle up and lift up. It really sucks because I like salon pas better than the other pain relieving patches. I guess I'll have to try something different. Something that'll stay on at least. I hope you all bring back the old patches or figure out a different types because these really suck!"


"23, have adult and adolescence acne. Was prescribed Doryx, Acanya gel and Atralin gel. They work wonders together. My skin is completely clear. Highly recommended."


"A Type 2 Diabetic on Belviq (twice a day) for the last 10 weeks.
I used to Live to Eat and now I Eat to Live. Belviq has given me the full control of what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat at every meal.
Fasting Weight this morning was 224.4 Lbs down from 250.8 Lbs on 06/13/13 a 26.4 Lbs Weight Loss = 10.5%. Was able to reduce my Humalog 75/25 Insulin intake from 100 to 20 Units a day, an 80% reduction in insulin use. My Blood Glucose was also reduced from 164 to about 114 mg/dL.
Simply put, my experience on Belviq the last 10 weeks has been nothing short of AMAZING. I feel blessed that finally there is something that works incredibly well for me where I can manage my type 2 diabetes to a point where no longer need to take any more Daily Insulin Shots."


"I feel a little bit more calm, ofcourse it wont completly make your anxiety disdapear but i feel better than usual, it helps me sleep good, makes me have weird crazy dreams but not bad. I take it right before i close my eyes, its better to take it right exactly when you're going to sleep, i feel its more effective."


"Was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 (Mixed Episodes w/ Psychotic Features) as well as Unspecified anxiety disorder. My anxiety gets so bad to the point it makes me vomit. I took 1mg in the morning and 1 mg at night. It made me extremely sleepy and fatigued to the point I couldn't function. I work and am in college full time so I couldn't handle that at all. Would not recommend this medication."


"I have been using symbicort for a week now and can breath better, and don't have to use my albuterol at all. I do keep albuterol handy though. The only side effects I have right now is a pounding heartbeat and nervousness and my eyes are a little irritated. Hope my side effects get better because I really like this inhaler."


"I have chronic constipation. Took 3 of these at 6pm yesterday afternoon with a bottle of water. They started working at 7am this morning.  No diarrhea, mild cramps, and I've had 3 bowel movements today. This medication Did the job. I'll definitely use it in the future."


"Seroquel worked for me during my rapid cycling last year and really chilled me out very quickly. Only bad thing to say about it is I found the level of sedation far too much, and it left me incredibly "plastic" the next day. Was a bit like a walking zombie, although it got me through the dangerous bit. Also meant as I have great trouble sleeping it helped that side out too, so all in all was very good for me. Came off all medicines 9 months ago. Now only on zopiclone for sleeping. So hopefully no matter how good it is, wont be back on it!"


"After 4 years of painful periods my Paraguard embedded and perforated my uterus. I went to my doctor after experiencing bleeding for over a week. I was shocked to learn I was pregnant, and had to have a D&C to save my life. The Paraguard caused internal scarring and possible infertility. This was the worst experience of my life and I warn everyone to avoid this birth control method. It is ineffective and can turn life threatening. I share my personal experience to inform others of the risks, which were not fully shared with me."


"Suboxone saved my life. I wanted to get clean so badly, but, even with rehab and NA (meetings 6x/week, sponsor, step-work, etc.) I still could NOT manage to live life without some sort of substance (eg. alcohol, marijuana, opiates, ANYTHING) to take me out of my misery and pain for a while. Suboxone 8mg for 5 years has me stable and in control of my life, emotions and actions. Thank GOD for buprenorphine."


"First time using prescribed medication for my migraines.  Migraines became a new issue after I turned 35. Chalk it up to hormonal change. Anyway, doctor prescribed it, tried it for the first time yesterday.  Took it around 6:00pm, laid down because the migraine was already in effect...but I was pretty much out for the count which I didn't expect.  Slept until 7:30am this morning. Happy the migraine is gone but I have a Trial on Monday and really could not afford to lose my day yesterday. I mean, having a migraine would also take me out of my routine...was hoping for medication that allowed me to go on with my life and just take care of the migraine. The result is not really what I'm looking for. plus, I'm feeling groggy this morning."


"I've been on it for 3 years its great unless I'm constipated then forget it I still get pain but not as bad."


"On week 3 10mg terrible debilitating headaches everyday, eye pain, vision blurry, mood swings (quick and aggressive!), zero motivation, although the crying has lessened.
Anyone else getting these side effects? Any suggestions time of day to take?This is my last hope I've tried all other meds.  My last 2 years have been so painful with sadness. If this doesn't work MD recommend ECT..."


"Had a nasty case of tonsillitis that I was given penicillin for initially.  After two days my symptoms had worstened and Dr gave me clarithromycin.
After just one tablet I began to feel better quickly. That evening I was able to manage a bowl of soup,  that morning I was struggling with sips of water.  Horrendous wind two days into week course, like a chemical smell.  Then third and fifth day quite a bad case of diarrhoea with same chemical odour. No stomach pains and liveable with due to being effective as an antibiotic!
Pain completely gone now upon swallowing.  Yawning and sneezing still very painful and can still feel lump when swallowing. Ears, glands and neck still sore but still have two days still to take.
Have a nasty taste in mouth."


"i am on the shot for my b12 and it works like a charm cause I first noticed my feet will burn like someone put a match under my feet and lit it since I've gotta them my feet been doing better all though just weeks before I get the shot my feet will start to burn byt after I get it be gone I will probably have this shot the rest of my life"


"Was diagnosed with bv and started my dosages yesterday. 500 mg x 2 for 7 days. My doctor told me I only needed to take 5 days and that is exactly what I plan on doing. I have a metallic taste in my mouth but so far that's all."


"This was more effective than any others tried including Ritalin, Vyvanse which made my heart rate rise to the 140s. Modafinil worked quickly but not suddenly and lasted for the entire day."


"Before getting this I religiously read the reviews and I was terrified. Weight gain, no sec drive, depression were common thing I was reading in every thread. However I have had an amazing experience and I just want to remind everyone that everyone had different reactions, and keep in mind that it's normal for people to post negative reviews but people rarely post positive reviews. I went on this from the Nuva ring. I haven't gotten my period since I've had it in which is great! No weight gain (but I do work out and eat decently), and I haven't had feelings of depression. My sex drive isn't as high as it was without any birth control, but it's definitely higher than it was on the nuvaring."


"Taking 25mg every 12 hours. Makes me feel like I have a hang over the next day. As far as it helping my anxiety, well, it knocks me out. So I guess I can't be anxious if I'm asleep on the couch. Will be trying something else."


"I was recently prescribed this medication and it has worked wonders for my pain. The only drawback is that many pharmacy's in my area aren't carrying it because of its negative press, and I felt like I was being treated like I was a drug addict at each pharmacy I went too. Oh well."


"Too many side effects!!! I had had Nexplanon for a year and a half. I just got it taken out today, and I'm so glad that the whole thing is over!!

I had:
- irregular bleeding
- super long period
- breast pain before period
- breast lumps before period - will need to get it checked out during the next visit
- mood swing
- weight gain
- horrible acne
- pain during sex
- lower sex drive

Literally didn't want to have sex anymore after getting the implant. Maybe that's why it's 99% effective!!"


"I took Accutane in the 80's when I was in high school, in Canada. I too had tried everything and nothing worked for my acne. All my dermatologist told me was not to get pregnant while I'm taking Accutane. I took Accutane for 4 months and the acne disappeared. I only experienced dry mouth. Since then everyone I meet always compliments me on my skin. I'm now 42 years old and my acne never came back. I have two teenage boys now and one has been suffering from cystic acne for 2 years. We started with topical antibiotic creams. Then he was prescribed three months with oral antibiotics (no change whatsoever). And now seeing how miserable he feels and the acne is becoming more painful, we're going to start him on Accutane."


"Had abnormal bleeding after getting double dose that was a month before next dose"


"I took this pill about 5 hours after sex. It was easy to purchase over the counter. I was very nervous to take it after reading about side effects.

The day if I had almost no side effects.

A few days later I started developing very sore breasts and feeling a bit nauseated. Very mild nausea but noticeable.

I bled about a week before my expected period. Then again for a few days when I expected my period. Then about a week later I started bleeding again very heavily and it lasted over a week. When the last "period" started my nipple soreness stopped, but nausea, cramping, and abdominal pain all increased. It's finally getting better.

It worked - not pregnant, but definitely messed up my hormones and my cycle a lot."


"Clonidine, or catapres, is a Godsend for opiate withdrawal. It takes a lot of the worst parts out of it. Best done under supervision of a compassionate doctor."


"Seroquel has been very helpful with sleep, and I also noticed some mood stabilization in combination with Lamictal and sometimes Klonopin.  Sometimes it is overly sedating, but taking it a couple of hours before normally going to sleep is important for me so that I don't feel drowsy the next day.  I did not notice any weight gain on it.  My doctor started me on 50 mg, which was good for sedation, but no major difference in mood.  100 mg does make a difference in lower my anxiety and some mood stabilization with my other medications, but sometimes she recommends me to take 200 mg to reduce mania from flaring up when it starts.  Overall, this med has been useful for Bipolar 1 for me."


"Been on Lipitor for 7 months & it worked very well. Then I developed a rash that drove me crazy."


"So far I've been on Lo loestrin for about 2 months. Pros: No mood swings, no weight gain, convenient to use, no pregnancy, no nauseousness, low estrogen. Cons: Period every other week (which sucks but at least it is not a constant period. Hopefully by my fourth month my periods will be back to normal), breast tenderness every day (but not too painful) and occasional headache. I am very satisfied overall and plan to be on this pill for the next 2 years. It's great knowing the risk of a blood clot is so much lower with such a minimul amount of estrogen."


"I work as a medical assistant at a gyno office so I've seen thousands of women get there IUD and even assisted in the procedure with the doctors/ nurse practitioners. I probably have used every single form of birth control out there besides the injection and I would get intense migraines on every single one of them. Once I got married I knew my inconsistent use of birth control was no longer going to slide so I knew I had to pick something that was fool proof and long lasting with the least amount of side effects. Experience: I have very irregular periods and you have to get your IUD inserted on you period so I didn't know I was getting my IUD until the day of. I took 2 motrin an it hurt SO SO SO bad, but it was a very quick pain. "


"I went onto Sprintec after my 2nd child as they no longer made my original birth control.  I was on it for over a year.  No terrible side effects, a little weight gain.  Near the middle of that year periods started getting heavy and would just start flowing suddenly even though they were still on schedule.  I spoke with my doctor and she recommended trying something different.  I was happy on Sprintec for a while but do not want to continue having heavy flows so will be trying something different."


"Eases pain - don't take it away."


"I have been taking this medicine for 4 weeks now and my weight keeps going up - 15 pounds in the last three weeks - also I feel dizzy from out of the blue. Watching T.V - folding laundry - eating lunch - sitting standing or lying... its all the same.   "


"I have had asthma and sinus drainage all my life. I did not like inhalers. This medicine has enabled me to start exercising and stop clearing my throat all the time.  I love it!"


"This is the only medication that will work for my migraines.  My family doctor does fear I am taking too much. A lot of things trigger my migraines but I will swear on this particular medication.  I have tried everything.  Unfortunately the cost is outrageous and the insurance companies do not like paying for it.  "


"PSA dropped from 7.46 to 0.34  in 30 days.  Leg cramps occasional but no fun.  Critical to take Zytiga/prednisone exactly as prescribed."


"I've been constipated for awhile now but last week I took 'Extrolax' which seemed to work wonders but my grandmother suggest I take this for 'softening my stool' so I did! Took it at 11:3pm it's now 5:40am and after being woken up with severe pain I am now on the loo poo/weeing! Have had no cramps as of yet which is a good thing for me because I can't stand pain! But now i'm afraid to get off the loo and get some sleep! It takes it's time and is quite painful (could be because I didn't drink enough water) but it is effective!"


"This drug caused me major fatigue.  It seemed stronger the first two days and faded on the third.  The adhesive is terrible to get off."


"I used this product for about 8-10 months and I haven't used it for about 7 months now and I'm sweat free! Before using this product I would have sweat stains running down my sides."


"Stay away from off label meds.. had anxiety  now suffer random muscle twitching tingling and insomnia. The nightmares when you do sleep definitely dont help the anxiety!"


"I have been taking this medication off an on for abut 10 years.  My experience is that it lowers my blood pressure to around 120/60 from average 140/75.  My problem is it causes me to have problems with my legs and I can't have good erections. I stop it for few days and my erection returns to normal.  That's my biggest problem with it."


"Took 2 doses of .75 trulicity a couple months ago (over 2 weeks) and got severe flu-like symptoms. Nausea, loss of appetite (which was expected), headaches, lethargy. Symptoms didn't start for a few days so it's hard to tell if it is definitely a cause. Stopped taking it and gave my body time to feel normal again to rule out actual flu. Took another shot this Sunday evening and felt fine until Thursday when I woke with all the same flu symptoms again. Now I'm pretty sure it's the trulicity and will not be taking it again."


"I take mine every day around the same time but sometimes it's hard to get it right on the dot. I definitley get very emotional and in my first 3 months had basically constant spotting but now since then I haven't gotten spotting or period bleeding and it's been about 4 months, it practically eliminated my period completely besides some symptoms like bloating. I would recommend it if you willing to stick out the first month or two while your bodies adjusting"


"I just got my Skyla put in (8/2/16) and honestly, it really comes down to how well you can handle pain. I handle pain fairly well and it did cause discomfort as the procedure occurred. My doctor explained it to me in 3 steps. Measuring your uterus, holding your cervix, and insertion, which means only 3 really tough cramps.

Luckily, I was able to drive myself home right after and haven't felt any kind of discomfort. So far, I'm really loving it and I'd say do your research, ask your physician and if everything's checks out, do it. The pain is well worth it."


"This product changed my life. It works. No doubt. I had suffered from excessive sweating on my armpits since I was 11. I thought I was cursed, and would have to deal with this my entire life. It really had a huge impact on my life because I was always limited on the shirts I had to wear. I could only wear lose black or white shirts. If not I had to wear a black cardigan over everything I wore! Yes that's how bad it was, until I got prescribed Hypercare, when I commented it on a doctors appointment. This had really changed my life. This product worked the very next day! I was truly amazed. THANK YOU HYPERCARE!

Ps. Don't use this product when you have recently shaved, or else it will burn and you won't be able to sleep all night"


"I am 45 and was diagnosed with ADD & dyslexia when i was a child. Didn't know about it until i was 40. Tried many other meds and would  highly recommend Vyvanse. The best part is not having the nervous-jittery feeling. I don't realize I am on it during the day. I am glad my doctor recommended it to me."


"I was on Nexium for more than 4 years and the Barrett's esophagus that I have has been stable. I believe that Nexium has healing properties, but change in diet has to come with it. My husband's insurance now refuses to pay for it because it is supposedly for short term. "
