"I have been on this for two weeks and so far have not had any side effects. I am up to the three a day but space them out. 7:30 , 1:30 and 3:30 or 4 I feel like it is suppressing my appetite and I feel a lot better. I am not sluggish anymore I have lost 3lbs so far"


"Calming and starts to work within 15 minutes. Has been a lifesaver for me over the years.  I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks."


"I have had fibromyalgia for years but the last 3 years its been a nightmare. I ache all day and at night when you are supposed to get into bed and relax you can't as it feels like you are are a car engine that's been started up and can't turn it off. Your body feels active and you can't relax, I find my teeth are clenched or my hand, or my foot. So had enough three weeks ago took to my bed for three days crying, depressed, I take tramadol everyday, venlafaxine for anxiety, none of which take it away. So went to doctors she said give this ...all I can say is at present I have been on it for three weeks I now remember what a good nights sleep is , I can switch the engine off and actually properly relax its wonderful."


"I have severe osteoarthritis in my left knee since an infection from surgery in 1972.  I started using Feldene around 1983 when I had a severe flare up of pain.  I have a strong aversion to pills of any sort but I regard Feldene as a miracle drug.  My pain cleared up in days.  A 30 day supply would last me for better than a year since I would only take when needed.  I've found that it works best when taken in conjunction with exercise because it is the exercise that is the true "cure" for the problem.  It seems to smooth the arthritis and perhaps provide other natural relief.  The Feldene makes the activity more tolerable and leads to a faster cure.  When I get lazy and inactive the problem comes back."


"I have been Bi-Polar since I was fifteen. I have struggled with my life, sense of who I am, losing great jobs, ruining relationships and never knowing when I would lose control was the worst part. I'm now on 80 mg of Geodon for 6 months. For the first two weeks waking up was hard and I felt groggy but you can get through it if you give it a chance. This medication has changed my entire life. I've even lost weight. I'm living now. I just hope this can help someone because I never believed any medicine would work. I have been on all A-Z. I only wish I had found Geodon sooner. "


"Was on Ambien and doing well and the doctor told me since I was over 65 I could not have it any longer.  Tried Trazadone, Rozarem and then Belsomra.  I got maybe 2-3 hours sleep on the Belsomra if that and the dreams were axe murderer vivid. I also developed leg weakness and found my insurance copay was over $100.00!  I finally am back on my Ambien and am sleeping my usual 8 hours with no hangover in the morning and no axe murderer dreams.  Am very disappointed in Belsomra as I had watched its' development for awhile and had high hopes."


"I love Seroquel but not the XR type. Helps you to sleep well at night and wake up feeling great. Gives you major munchies at night and woke up with Reeses Pieces all over the bed.  Does help with a lot on highs and lows. So for me it's worth a little weight gain.  Overall this medicine has changed my life."


"I've been using drysol for over 10 years and it has been a blessing to my life. Like many of you, I suffered from the burning, itchy sensation and dryness as a result of the usage of this product. I was told by my dermatologist to place the drysol solution on my underarm and once it completely dries to then place hydrocortisone LOTION (no prescription required over the counter). As far as the dryness; in the areas where you expierience dryness (i.e hands & feet) place the drysol solution, once it completely dries, place Excipial lotion (no prescription required) over the areas that are dry. This has worked wonders for me and is a MUST try. Hope this helps!"


"I was diagnosed in May '16 with a VR of 1410 and CD4 of 410. Due to the low VR resistance testing wasn't conducted (only above 2000). I didn't start treatment until June due to work travel, the Doc didn't want me to start medication and be away from the medical centre. Started treatment in June. After reading about other experiences here I decided to medicate at night, around 1800 every night. I also take medication for slightly elevated blood pressure. I was already taking it in the morning so decided to keep the two separate. Not sure why - I just thought it would be better to keep the medications separate. After a month I was tested again and my CD4 has risen to 680 and the VR is now undetectable. No side effects & feel great!!"


"I had foot surgery 10 days ago.  For pain these seem to work well.  However the basic side effects are more than I want to deal with: dizzy, weak, nausea, short of breath."


"Humira cleared my psoriasis in three weeks. Then it came back 3 times worse, 3 times more painful that it's ever been in the 33 years that I have suffered with it. "


"So. Amoxicillin works fantastic for a UTI BUT I'd never ever take it w/out a probiotic. I get a bottle of acidophilus (maybe a few billion cultures)  at a big box store for under $6.  Reason being is antibiotics kill bacteria both good and bad. My daughter gets thrush and Ive NEVER had a yeast infection until on amoxicillin for over 3 days. These Are side effects of good bacteria being killed off. My dr advised me on this & ive never had any more side effects!"


"I got the Mirena placed a month ago while I was under general anesthesia for an endometrial polyp removal.  So, I can't review anything on the pain of insertion because I was peacefully sleeping:) I was told to expect bleeding after my procedure, and that I may have prolonged bleeding/spotting due to the Mirena. I had light period like bleeding for a week followed by two days of spotting. I have not had a single thing since the.  I was due for my period last week, and it didn't show up. (Took a test to make sure there's not a bun in the oven.) I was a little worried about how my body would react to the Mirena after reading so many horror stories about it. But for me it has been great!!  No period, no weight gain, and no acne."


"I am 26 years old and I have been on Effexor for anxiety.  When first starting the medication I had severe nausea for about 2 weeks but I stuck with it.  Thankfully the nausea went away and now I feel so much better. I feel smarter, more grounded and able to make appropriate decisions.  Before going on Effexor it was like I was always working hyper vigilantly to ensure nothing bad happened.  Now I am able to relax and go with the flow.  The only draw back is the severe withdrawal symptoms of dizziness and "brain jolts." I notice these beginning even if I am just a hour late taking my pill."


"Very fast acting, very effective, and does not make you as drowsy the next day.  Have experienced some dizziness the following day, but nothing serious."


"I haven't had a good night sleep in 20 years. I was in the hospital for spine surgery when they gave AMbien to me to help me sleep. I have tried about every sleeping pill over the counter prescribed but did nothing but Ambien worked great. The only side effect I have had is walking in my sleep. Haven't had anything happen other than waking up on the couch, but feel better and a lot more energy. It is great."


"This is my third pregnancy. My previous pregnancies I had horrible nausea and vommitting. Took Zofran from the time I found out I was pregnant until the day I gave birth. With this pregnancy however Zofran wasn't working for nothing!!! Got prescribe Diclegis and took 1 at night (last night) made me very sleepy. Woke up and felt a million times better though. I haven't felt like this in months! I finally feel normal! This is a lifesaver my copay was $50 but it was worth every dollar! It's now 8:30pm the next day and I still feel pretty good off last nights pill. It did put me out like a light but reading other reviews the drowsiness shouldn't last long."


"Just started taking medication, been on it for three days. Have problems with diarrhea."


"Bad experience causes extreme restless leg syndrome and back aches, taste horrible also , only been on 20 mgs a day for 3 weeks so hopefully not much withdrawals I'm stopping cold turkey as I need my sleep gonna dry bendryl as I think its a allergic reaction.  Would never take again."


"Completely messed up my stomach- constipated, nauseated, vomiting, rectal bleeding.  Agitation, sleep problems and muscle discomfort (restless leg syndrome) upon discontinuation of medication.

I also believe the increased agitation and abdominal discomfort led to an increase in my blood pressure. "


"ALOT of stress in my life, and didn't sleep at night. Always turned to alcohol to solve these problems. My doctor put me on Librium and I have been on it for just over a year now, and alcohol-free. I still worry about things, but they are easy to just let go, and I sleep every night, without waking up every hour stressing over something. One thing I will say, though, is that though it has taken the anxiety out of my life, it's like it has also taken away the joy, like ALL the color is gone, not just the darkness. I feel "comfortably numb" most of the time. Still, better than the way it used to be! I was prescribed 25mg 3 times per day, but I take 1 pill when I get up, split the 2nd into two 1/2 doses, then 1 pill an hr before bed."


"I've used voltaren rapid 25 and 50 by far the best joint pain medication I've ever had. I use it to ease my pain when gout attacks come on I take to 2 with milk or before I eat something. My partner also uses it only if her period pain is unbearable seems to help her cope.."


"I have tried several medications for chronic fatigue syndrome and nothing seems to help more than an hour or two. Vyvanse is a wonderful medication for chronic daytime sleepiness and fatigue. I could not believe the amount of work I was able to get done. It does not make you feel "drugged" like other medications do. I felt like my old self again, before the days of CFS."


"I can only say good things about Pristiq. I was on Lexapro for about three years and gained about 35 pounds. My doctor switched me to Pristiq. The hardest part was weaning off the Lexapro and the couple of weeks it took for my body to adjust to a new medicine. It has been about a month now and I absolutely feel great, energized, my appetite seems more normal. I have lost three pounds in four weeks. Not bad since I wasn't really trying. The unusual changes I noticed at first on Pristiq was really weird dreams and sometimes at night I felt a little tense. But now I just feel great. Also unusual in my case, my doctor told me to take it in the morning but I was afraid of nausea so I take it at night."


"I have been taking Byetta for 2 years and it is a great drug. 10 mg is too much, I get sick after I take it. I hope my doctor will allow me to go back and stay on the 5 mg. It is a great appetite supprecent. I've lost 25 lbs and kept it off for 2 years."


"my husband had a seizure and went into heart failure and died after taking amrix  for two days."


"Yesterday I stopped using Nuvaring for the 2nd time. The first time I quit I wasn't sure if it was the ring causing my depression or just the things going on in my life at the time. A year later I went back on it because I became more sexually active and I loved not having periods and the clear skin it gave me. The first 2 months it gave me horribly sore boobs, I also noticed I was a little moody but thought it would go away once I regulated after 3 months. 7 months in and I'm a full blown basket case with life ruining depression and anxiety. I'm mad I was on denial that nuvaring was causing it for so long. Do your relationship/mental health a favor, do not use nuvaring. I feel so bad for my boyfriend for putting up with me for so long."


"You are going through the reviews to help you cause you are scared and panicking, I'm 20 years old and my boyfriend condom broke right when he climax inside me, within that small time frame we ran to Walgreens and got Take action. It was on the 6th of june at 10:30am on my ovulation week, I took the pill at 10:50am. I'm way past the weight requirement for the pill, 3 hours after taking the pill I wanted to throw up, I was nauseated for 3 days, on the fourth day my breasts hurt and on the 5th day I was really moody but could have been cause of stress, it made things worse, on the next week all the symptoms went away. Period came on 6/22 a few days late 2 weeks later after taking it. Stressing only delays periods, it works so stop stressing."


""I've had Nexplanon since September 2014, and let me say it's been bad. I was getting my period and it was lasting about a month, when it used to be only a week. The nurse had told me that after the one year my period was gonna be gone for good. Lies ! It's March 2016 and ive been on my period since December 2015 non stop! Worst birth control ever. I was on the depo and it was the same was on my period for a month. Im going back to the pill it always worked for me. I wouldn't recommend Nexplanon.""


"Adderall XR has changed my LIFE! For years, I have struggled with depression and anixety, no motivation, mood swings and couldn't focus on any task. I was diagnosed with ADD/Bi-polar when I was 19-20ish (26now and mom of 1). I have struggled through so many years not knowing after several doctors and tons of medicines or medication combinations I was put on Vyvanse from 30-50mg over a period of 2 years. It worked well for me. In the beginning I had dry mouth, palpitations. My coverage stopped paying for it. Doctor tried me on Strattera and Concerta (not together). After several months I was just still always sick, with stomach cramps, headaches, etc. About 3 years now I've been on Adderall XR 30mg and I still have dry mouth and loss of appetite. Other than that, it has helped me to be a "normal" person and loving, motivated mother."


"I love it. I get dizzy and almost black out when I hop up. So I learned to get up slow. My pain has turned dull now instead of sharp and menacing like it's been for almost 5 yrs. Taking this with Oxycodone and Robaxin helps me get through each day. Still not well enough where I can exercise due to horrible muscle inflammation. Started on the 25mg...moved to 75mg...now I'm taking the 150mg XR and I can say that I think I should stay here."


"HI , dz .
I wanted to share my expirience with effexor ( flaxyne)  for anxiety , panic attack  disorder and depression I m a 28 old girl I have been taking effexor  75 mg for years but no result at all then my ps augmented the dose to 225mg which works greatly now with all my disorders and I m also on 100mg sulpiride which blocks perfectly black persecutive ideas and help reduce my anxiety too but here is the prblm I faced an important lack of libido and anorgasmia  and a delayed period due to high dose flaxyne probably , but after months I m taking an infusion of Fenugreek seeds I m not drinking every day but at least twice in 28 days and it really helped with the side effects of effexor ."


"Did some, not enough, to relieve pain.  I have pain because I have a ureter stent and am receiving radiation treatments to the pelvis -- both irritate the bladder and urinary track.  I am searching for a similar drug to this.  There must be something similar to this drug that helps alleviate the pain."


"I started 145mcg dosage and have been on one a day for the last five days. I'm now stopping this medication and will never take it again. It helped a little the first couple days, however, the lower abdominal pain is just too intense AND.. I HAVE A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE HEADACHE that I cannot get rid of , plus the sneezing started and I have awful cold/sinus symptoms.. I feel so incredibly sick.. stopping it and praying these side effects subside asap:(... there a more natural ways to help with my issues and this medicine is just no good.."


"I started taking Cymbalta 10 months ago after developing Fibromyalgia. I am a 40 year old male in good physical condition. It is very effective for pain - not 100% - but enough that I have mostly pain free days. The pain in my hands, fingers, wrists, groin, hips and back is very manageable now. I've also noticed that my plantar fasciatis pain is completely gone, and headaches are rare but easy to manage. Side effects include memory loss, some fatigue and difficulty with orgasm. I could not have a job or even be a good father/husband without it. My insurance covers some of the cost. "


"Overall I give this birth control a 5 because I never got pregnant. Besides that being on the nexplanon was the most frustrating 2 year experience. Every persons body is different but proceed with caution in your decision. The first 3 months were great no side effects, no period, nothing. After those three months I was bleeding non stop with an occasional 2-5 day break and it would begin again. My acne was ridiculous, it was worse than when I was in middle school and going through puberty. I had acne on my face all the time and eventually it developed all over my chest and back. I gained about 10 pounds. Doctors told me I was fine and some even suggested taking birth control pills while on the nexplanon to stop the bleeding."


"I've been on this birth control for about 8 years so I feel I can write a fair review. I started taking birth control in high school because my cycle was so painful and heavy. I had to miss school because of cramps. As soon as  I started taking this (the generic version was called something else back then) my symptoms went away. I went from a 7 day heavy painful period to a 3-4 day light period. I've always had acne and I can't say this helped tremendously when I was in high school and college, now that I'm in my mid 20s my acne is gone. I haven't noticed anything related to hormones on this pill. Yes, when my period is about to come sometimes I'll get a little more emotional than I would during other parts of the month, but that would happen even if you weren't on the pill. The only thing I've noticed is that my libido is higher during the placebo week. I think birth control might kill libido a bit. Overall if you have terrible period pains I would recommend this pill. It really saves me every month."


"I have endometriosis and I've struggled for years to find a birth control pill that would help with the pain and irregular/heavy bleeding. I even tried the shot, which was disastrous. Tri-Sprintec, while it doesn't completely take away my symptoms, is the best that I've found for me. So, until they find a better pill, this is my choice for oral contraceptives."


"Hi Judy ....do you think I should accept this ....

I was on this pill to help with ovarian cysts and heavy periods. I'd give it a 10 out of 10 for helping with those!!! However, I took it EVERY DAY at the SAME TIME for the last three years and am 7 months pregnant. I don't trust it as a birth control at ALL!"


"Stay away from this birth control! I used to take loestrin fe which was the perfect birth control, had little to no side effects. I had switched to blisovi due to insurance, as soon as I started taking it I felt depressed, anxious and like I was living in a bubble. I couldn't do anything because all I wanted to do was throw up all the time, I barely could eat as well. I barely lasted a week which consisted of me crying everyday due to how it made me feel and decided to switch back to loestrin and pay out of pocket. Stay away from this birth control!!!"


"Started having panic attacks with anxiety about 6 months ago.  Started taking Inderal 20 mg - once in the morning. Noticed significant improvement the first day. This drug has been awesome for me!  Was also given Xanax at the same time but I only feel I need it occasionally."


"I was traveling on business with my colleague and we ended up in the same bed. During the act, the condom slipped and we panicked, since both of us are married (not to each other). We went to local pharmacy within 60-mins to get the pill. We went bananas thinking about whether it will work or not. It was a long three week wait. Side effects included severe cramps and abdominal pain. Relax and breathe! It works!"


"I'm 39. Have 3kids. I had been using the nuva ring for several years and loved it. No problems. But because of my age,having diabetes my doctor put me on Nora be. I just got off my cycle,started this pill and 3days later I start bleeding again and have been for 5days and I mean extremely bad going through a pad and tampon every 30min. I have read other reviews and see this is common but I have had good swings,headaches, dizziness, cramps,bloating, increase appetite and heart flutters. I'm not taking this BC anymore. I'm done having kids now anyway so I think I'll just Tie my tubes and not go through or worry about this anymore."


"I've been taking this drug for almost 9 months and I get no relief.   I suffer with leg pain that intensifies when I walk.   I've seen at least 5 different specialists; had scores of tests/MRI's etc
and no diagnosis.  My final visit was with  Neurologists (I've seen two; one in Philadelphia and the other doctor in New York).  Unfortunately, I have not responded to this medicine and am now weaning off of it.  good luck to those who try it......SAD to say I  had no luck and my condition worsens every month."


"My gyno reccommended this, and this was my first time taking BC pills. I got my period twice in the first month I tried it. My cramps were still pretty severe and I kept getting like brown liquid after my period would finish. After two months, I'm going to switch to another brand because of the pain with my cramps, this brown liquid, and it was a little expensive. I didn't want to give it below 5 stars because I didn't try it for a long enough time for it to adjust. However, I didn't see an increase in weight gain and my boobs grew a tiny bit ."


"was given hydroxyzine 25 mg for anxiety about three weeks ago along with lexapro  5mg I finally decided to take one last night for sleep and it was the best thing I did I finally slept good after 3 weeks I don't know what took me so long to take it ,this morning I woke up feeling cloudy and a little bit of a hangover feeling but not too bad I'm guessing my body will adjust to it the more I take the pill also I'm moving alittle slower at work today due to the cloudiness in my brain but not anything that I can't handle again might be a side effect while my body adjust"


"I have had fibro for 18 years and have been on many medications. Being put on Effexor XR  over a year ago I have tolerated it well .. Maintained a healthy weight and it takes the pain from a 10 down to 2-3. My only complaint is that I have always had a sharp mind and I notice that I feel lost sometimes in what I'm doing even in my own home .. Very loopey. I'm 43 years old and take this along with 50 mg x2 of Tramadol every day. I would recommend it if you have fibromyalgia. It's worked better than all other snris or ssris out there."


"Took this medicine to treat pain from surgery.  Stopped taking after two days.  Nausea, vomit, light head, dizzy and headache. Glad I was able to pinpoint the association with my misery and Norco."


"I am 36 years old. I was given Norethindrone because I had been having spotting/bleeding for 4 weeks but haven't gotten an actual period in nearly 2 months. My doctor gave it to me to stop the bleeding so tests can be done on me.

I started taking the drug 3 days ago. So far the only side effect I noticed was a discoloration on my breasts. They aren't sore or painful, they just have a slight discoloration. It has pretty much stopped the bleeding but I still have small amounts of brown discharge when wiping after using the bathroom. I rated it an 8 because it seems to be working. I'm hoping no other side effects show up later."


"Seasonal allergies, very bad.  I have used this product now for second season, with some relief of itchy, red, swollen eyes.  Works ok, not a miracle though for my itchy eyes.  Since it can only be used twice a day, I supplement with other drop OTC that work almost as well.  The price, I really don't understand how any 5ml bottle can be $300.00.  What about the people who don't/can't afford health insurance?  I hope my review is published, although it isn't a 10 review, I am hoping the cost will drop for those people who cannot afford this eye drop RX."


"My urologist suggested that I try 5 mg. Cialis daily for BPH (enlarged prostate). He gave me a two week supply to see if I would incur any side effects. He did make it very clear that treatment for BPH requires about a month's regular use of the 5 mg. daily dose. From the first day onward, I experienced significant heartburn, which was easily remedied by taking a dose of Zantac with the Cialis and a Zantac, 12 hours later. On the 5th day of Cialis, I experienced excruciating muscle pain starting with my lower back, into the buttocks, and legs. At the ER I was informed that between 5-7% of Cialis users will experience this and to stop using Cialis immediately."


"I used Verapamil for 5 years to treat supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). With each visit to the doctor, they increased my dosage. I started out taking 30mg once a day, and ended with 180mg once a day.  For the most part, my symptoms were never controlled. The drug caused extreme fatigue and tiredness. I often had severe headaches and was constipated.  I have been switched to Atenolol 50mg once a day now. Hopefully I won't have as many unwanted side effects."


"This drug caused a lot of problems for me when using the restroom. It had adverse effects on me so I was forced to discontinue taking it. I don't recommend it."


"I just started my second pack and i am pleased so far with the product. It seems like,based on all the other reviews, this bc is either going to be excellent for you or a nightmare. Luckily, i seem to responding well. I wont lie, the first week was terrible but i knew it would be since i was switching from gildess. The first day was ok, second day i was angry third day everything made me cry, i litterally cried all day long, next day i was tired, then i was pissed again and then my hormones finally calmed down. Ive noticed my acne and blackheads have cleared up significantly, my appetite is under control and my moods are more even. I am having a small amount of breakthrough bleeding which is to be expected on a new bc pill."


"I've been on Ocella for about 8 months now, and its been decent but I am looking for a new birth control. I'm 26 years old, and have used several different pills before including Alesse and  Lo-ovral. I found out I am allergic to synthetic progesterone (norgestrel and alike ) in virtually every birth control available, which is why I switched to Ocella. Ocella has done the job as far as preventing pregnancy, but I have had mood swings bad enough to start taking Welbutrin, I've gained some weight, and MY SEX DRIVE IS TERRIBLE. The mood changes and the HUGE sex drive decline is the reason why I will be changing again. I'm also worried about all of the warnings on Yaz/Ocella/ Yasmin and the high incidence of strokes associated."


"I was prescribed klonopin about 6 years ago when I had a sudden experience of "Zoloft poop out". I was on Zoloft 50mg at the time for Panic Disorder and it worked beautifully for over ten years, but just stopped. I went from a high functioning manager to a terrified mess afraid to leave the house. Got myself to a psychiatrist, she prescribed 1mg daily taken in two doses and it was a godsend. Got on another antidepressant, citalopram, which did the trick. I was able to slowly taper off the klonopin with no side effects. Recently I've been having some rebound anxiety (I'm in medical school: hello stress!) and once again I find myself utilizing klonopin. I've done a lot of work w/acupuncture, CBT, breathing but KP is the most effective."


"Side effect: sexual dysfunction"


"The pill itself works wonderfully. However, the horrible gas, indigestion, frequent urination and chest pains are not worth it to me. I literally thought I was having a heart attack for hours. I took nearly 12 antacid pills to see if it was gas. Although I was some what relieved it was a terrifying experience.  You really do have to choose your battles. The pain in my knee and back diminished but the chest pains. Deep sigh."


"This is not the first or second time i have taken plan B, just saying. However, this times has got to be the only time I've experienced noticeable side effects. One week after taking plan B i experienced cramping, bleeding, blood clots, along with nausea, and dizziness. This is the worse time and last time of all. However, besides these side effects the pill definitely works to prevent pregnancy as far as i know. It could be a coincidence or because of plan B that im not pregnant at this point but ill just say it's due to plan B. I recommend it to whoever is having any doubts or worries, despite the side effects because before now i never experienced noticeable side eefects."


"My doctor prescribed me Metoprolol Succinate ER 25mg and advised me to take half first few days. When I did, I began to have a rush down my body and severe tremors began. My heart rate jumped to 138, it was pounding. I tried laying down, still. I even had chest pain. I usually get low blood pressure but I only felt very tired, not dizzy or fainty. I called my doctor, and he asked me to go to the ER to make sure everything is okay. I did. They did XRAY, blood work, gave me IV to flush it out. Everything was normal. My HR kept jumping from 67 to 105 suddenly. I was told to stop taking it. I am bummed out because I was looking forward to this helping me. After everything, my HR has was 54 resting and 72 active. It did afterwards!"


"I have adhesions related to multiple abdominal surgeries and some nerve damage as well. I was on Vicodin for 6 months and was referred to a pain clinic. Being a nurse I had seen Ultram used in the hospital with good pain control. I suggested I try it and stop the Vicodin. It was an incredibly easy transition and the benefits were immediate.

I too have noticed a definite mood stabilizing. I was having mood swings on the Vicodin that were affecting my relationships with others. I feel calmer and my pain is nearly gone at 200mg daily. I am so thankful for having relief. I think it's a wonderful drug."


"Took 9 mos to regulate. I've been on this for almost 2 years now. I was prepared to wait because many years ago was on Seasonale so I knew it would take 2-3 packs (each pack is 3 months) for results. Dealt with spotting & irregular bleeding in beginning. Cramps went away with the first period. Well worth the 9 mo wait bc now only 4 periods per year that last 3 days with light bleeding and zero cramps. Im 42 yrs and a plus with CamreseLo is it gave me my sex drive back once it was regulated in my system. Well worth the adjustment period!"


"I started using Lyrica six months after it was put on the market and I think it is a miracle drug for those of us who could not sleep or relax in any way due to severe neuropathy.  The only side effect I experienced was sleepiness which disappeared after about a week.  This is a wonderful, wonderful thing for diabetics with nerve pain.  Thank you to the makers!"


"I had a fever of 103 which lasted 24 hours, then a bad cough set in that left my body achy. I, too, thought I was going to break a rib coughing - it was a deep cough. I had phlegm deep in my lungs that would not come out. Felt a little light headed. As soon as I took the first dose, my head started to feel clearer. I expect I will get better on this medicine and avoid getting walking pneumonia. I'm so grateful - this medicine has helped 'whatever is going around town' - cough/flu/pneumonia type symptoms. "


"I was misdiagnosed for several years by numerous doctors who all kept throwing drugs upon drugs to deal with one symptom after another. I finally found my current psychiatrist who properly diagnosed me at that time with BP2. I started on Lamictal then and as the years have progressed and episodes have happened and my diagnosed changed to BP1 my dosage changed. I've been taking 600 mg for years and have had no side effects at all. To keep my mania at bay I take 600 mg of seroquel daily and then 300 mg of Wellbutrin to keep depression leveled out. I have to take 400 mg of Lamictal in the morning and then the other 200 mg at night before bed. That seems to keep a even range in my body."


"I've been taking this medication for about 4 days now. I've been binge eating for a few times a week since I was about 12 and now I'm almost 19. My nurse practitioner put me on a 20 mg dose in the morning and said it would help with my BED and my energy due to my depression (diagnosed at 14 but have felt since 13).The first day I took the vyvanse I took it around 12 and around 3pm I had energy I haven't had in YEARS. I'm in college and decorated my room, organized every single drawer, and even scrubbed the floor. I was talking my roommate's ear off. It's helped with my food habits but now nothing sounds good. I'm barely getting to 400 calories a day and am hoping it will get better soon. But so far so good!"


"Great and I've been two years smoke free thank you so much"


"My right hip has been incredibly painful for the last couple of years. I've had two major procedures where a cortisone was injected into my hip. This was done in a hospital setting. Recently my hip started to act up again. My doctor, as in the past, recommended a replacement. I asked him if there was anything other option. He then suggested Meloxicam. He wasn't fond of it because of possible side affects.The next morning I took my first tablet (15mg). In less than 2 hours the pain was completely gone. It was a miracle!"


"Just had this done 5 days ago, finally something that works, after trying various medications for nearly 20 years, no more incontinence pads during the day, and had first night sleep without getting up 3 or four times to go to toilet.  I would recommend this.  Only wish it had been done years ago. I know its early days yet for me, but great improvement so far."


"I was originally on Yaz and loved it but my insurance changed and wasn't able to get the name brand so switched to the Ocella.  I caused nausea for me."


"I have been suffering with depression since I was 9 years old. I was also diagnosed with PTSD, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and AD/HD. I was going to start medication years ago, but found out that I was pregnant and unable to start a medication. After I delivery I developed PPD bringing the end of our relationship. A year later i decided that it was time for me to start taking a medication. I started out on 25mg daily and I felt better within days, but was still have depressive episodes, so moved up to 50mg. I have been on 50 for 2 months and still have some depressive episodes during my cycle but it's manageable. I have trouble sleeping but that's really it. My appetite has lessened but nothing major."


"I started Avodart about 3 weeks ago and my nocturnal urinations have dropped from about 3x to once nightly.  Stream has never been a problem and hasn't changed.  I sleep more soundly and have not had any of the common side effects."


"I have IBS but no health insurance and can't afford expensive treatments and prescription medications. My wonderful doctor recommended a "maintenance" regimen of 2 loperamide daily to control the chronic diarrhea that was greatly affecting my life. Between this and watching my diet, sticking mainly to non-dairy, sugar free and gluten free foods, I've been able to live a mostly normal life with very few flare ups. I highly recommend."


"Started on 18mg and did not notice any difference in my ability to concentrate, but noticed that my appetite had decreased. My dosage was switched then to 32mg and I noticed that my attention span had increased slightly but the more noticable change was to my mood and my anxiety. My hands shake from this medication and I get hot flushes although my hands are cold and clammy. I sweat more unconsciously and this is uncomfortable. I went back to talk to my psychiatrist and was told that side effects tend to even out, and sometimes an increase in dosage can speed up this process, so I went up to 54mg. Although the medicine has made a change in my attention, my appetite has gone in the day and I have lost around 7kgs."


"I tried Monostat 7 day treatment- I have used other brands and had much better results. With the other brands, I felt relief almost instantly. This cream burned instantly . I thought it was just my reaction, until I read the reviews . I'm glad other people have spoken out . I will try to continue the medication with hopes that the next does is less painful and clears up the YI."


"My best advice is to stay calm. The pill works even if she is over weight. I had two wait two long weeks but reading these reviews helped calm my nerves. She took the pill within 24 hours. The faster you take it, the better. However learn from your mistakes so this wont happen again. Hope this helps."


"shots: 250 mg a week and I'm like a 18 years young man. wife is happy and I have lots of energy and good mood swing"


"I started the patch because I had difficulty to remember to take the pill every night. At first I liked it, yes it shows but it was not a problem to me. But however I would apply it the corners would never stick to my skin, which is a problem since the active ingredient is on the whole patch. Plus, the menstrual cramps were much stronger and my period lasted longer than usual. But the last day that I changed my patch, I went into the shower right after and fainted. When I got back up, I was so dizzy I couldn't walk straight. I lied down and threw up. It was like being super hangover, but I barely ever drink. I removed the patch and 30 minutes later I was feeling way better. I'm going back to the pill."


"This is my third day using it. For the last 3 years I've been using symbicort and it was no longer as effective so I was given this to try. I honestly forget I have emphysema and am so grateful for this inhaler!"


"I have been prescribed verapamil for vestibular migraines that I have had for the last 8 weeks with the only symptons being tiredness and disequilibrium. I am still in my first week of taking it (4 days) and have found it great. I has cleared the lethargy and tiredness and my disequilibrium has improved substantially. The only side effects I have had is slight dizziness if I move too fast or get up too quickly from sitting and my feet have been feeling a little swollen at night but nothing major.

I am a 45 year old male and normally very fit and take 90mg of verapamil each day for a month followed by 180mg in the second month."


"I have been off and on Topamax for about 5 years now and I must say that it works better for bipolar mood stabilization than any other one out there. The one thing I love the most about this medicine is that it is helping me lose weight. They need to put in the time to verify that this drug is in fact a mood stabilizer because it certainly does help with bipolar disorder."


"Although it started off good, this med slowly made me develop Akathisia to the point of it being unbearable. I started off on 10mg and it was increased to 15mg, by the end of it I wanted to amputate my legs just to make the feeling go away.  I was 24/7 agitated, restless, constantly pacing around and fidgeting, getting into arguments and screaming at people. My doctor prescribed Clonazepam but it did nothing to take it away. Eventually I had enough and stopped taking Zyprexa altogether, and within only 3 days all of these symptoms disappeared and I was back to normal.

By the end of it, even though I was only on it for 3 weeks, I had gained 30 pounds. Awful experience."


"I was taking Lunesta, which is fantastic, however Blue Shield would not cover this drug until I first tried regular Ambien and then Ambien CR (in that order). Regular Ambien only put me asleep for about 2 hours. Ambien CR would work for a full night. However, both versions of Ambien gave me a dull headache as they were taking effect. The next 1-2 days following, I'd be in a really foul mood, depressed, anxious, and a real "fight picker" with others. No such problems with Lunesta. Luckily, my employer switched to Blue Cross, which does not pay for Ambien CR but does pay for Lunesta, so I'm in luck. I wish these insurance companies would just let doctors prescribe whatever works..."


"In 2007 I started having what I now know panic attacks, but didn't know it at the time my doctor sent my blood in for testing, trying to figure out why I'm having to pull over when driving cuz I think I'm going to pass out due to hyperventilation. First I thought I was having low blood sugar but a few weeks later at my follow up appt. My doctor said " you're having major panic attacks I believe.".. I tried every anxiety medication there is trying to feel better.Then my Dr. Gave me 1mg alpazolam every 6 hours as needed. I still take xanex and 20mg of lexapro to this day.  Just having a xanex bar in my pocket helps prevent attacks, today I get 45 2mg bars  and I make sure I try to take no xanex a few times a week so I don't become dependent"


"I just received the medication today. So far so good. My pad is dry. I don't have severe dry mouth."


"Very powerful and effective.  Knocked out my symptoms in a few days.  No problems or side effects.  Highly recommend"


"I've started taking it when i had asthma exacerbation last two months. Usually, when I have flare up it will go away within 2 to 3 weeks. I was worried because it's almost a month already and I haven't been feeling well. Symptoms are fatigue, chest pain/tightness, shortness of breath, rapid heart palpitations, throat irritation, phlegm, reflux? I went to the doctor and told me it was an acid reflux. I still continue to use this drug together with PPI but i don't see any improvement. I've made my research about the side effects. It may control my asthma but the side effects are much worse. I'm getting off this drug immediately."


"This medication has been a life saver for me. I have lived with pain my entire life. Only after the birth of my twins did it become something I could not live with. Every joint and muscle in my body feels like someone is stretching them out with with saver pressure. I am not able to sit still because of the pain but the more I move the worse it gets. Frustrating. I cannot take Advil/Aspirin. I could not live nor take care of a family before this medicine. I have no side effects except RELIEF. I am so thankful this drug has literally given me my life back and I have no side effects good or bad.  A    "


"While I love how dependable the Implanon is and it is painless and thoughtless, every woman's body is different. I had my period for 2 weeks every month and then I would spot for 2 weeks and then have maybe a week without bleeding and then it would start again. You have to weigh what is the most important to you and if not having to worry about taking a pill or inserting a birth control method inside your every month is what matters to you then honestly this is the way to go. I had no weight gain and no mood swings. "


"Beware!! This med worked well to lower bp, but I have been on 40mg for 3 years now this slowly caused problems I didn't catch on to immediately such as severe pain in feet top and bottom like planter fasciitis extremely painful to walk on. Stiffness in legs like bad arthritis pains woke up so stiff. Possibly caused depression weight gain and lack of sex drive. Fatigue. No energy also was diagnosed with under active thyroid. Also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Stopped taking Metformin for 2 weeks now only noticed slight improvement in foot pain. Been off of Benicar for 5 days seeing improvement each day pain in feet going away also stiffness going away I'm 50 y.o female felt like 90 years old body in so much pain."


"Firstly, I had never experience constipation and my issue wasn't Going, it was that whenever I tried to go it hurt so bad! Be careful and don't Over do it with pushing, there can be damage and bleeding. I had been constipated for one day and After reading about all the things to help I decided to go with magnesium citrate. OMG! It didn't work right away- I took the whole bottle and went to sleep. This morning I woke up and didn't think it worked but as soon as I tried to push again.. GAME OVER! It did burn but who cares? Your FREE!! My advice... Get enough toilet paper...thank God for Magnesium citrate."


"My problem is not falling asleep, but staying asleep. Halcion is perfect for me. I wake up without drowsiness. I do not take every night...only when I need to break the bad sleep cycle. I have tried almost every sleeping pill over the years and keep returning to Halcion. It is inexpensive (compared to others like Lunesta) and effective...what more can you ask."


"It did not work at at. It's cost was $107 and that was with insurance. It caused the worst headache I have ever had in 20 years, I was sent home from work, so I lost pay and then the $250.00 for the cost of my Imitrex injections for the Migraine it caused. I was prescribed it for the pain in my shoulder after a SLAP repair was done. "


"MAGIC MED!!! It has done wonders for my anxiety, panic, and constant worrying. It actually makes me concentrate better at the task at hand. I was able to study and get my GED after dropping out of high school many years ago. I got my confidence back and regained my positive thoughts. I also take Sertraline 100mg. But Clonazepam is my go to for panicky situations. I've been taking it on and off for years... It actually is better then Xanax because it lasts longer throughout the day and is not as sedating for me. I'd say its the safer of the Benzos."


"I've had the Mirena for almost 3 years now. Insertion wasn't a problem. However, at my next annual exam my doctor told me he didn't see the string anymore but assured me it's not a problem. I had spotting each month in the beginning. Very light and would last about 3 days. I also experienced heavy discharge in the beginning. Now I have no spotting, no discharge. I did gain weight from it. Lately I have been experiencing severe cramping which I can only describe as almost feeling like contractions when you're about to give birth. They're that bad! Needless to say, I have scheduled an appointment with my OBGYN and I may have it removed. But overall, it's an effective birth control."


"On my second year out of three. No acne problems, little weight gain (5-10 pounds)

Irregular periods but that's nothing new. Best thing about it, don't have to remember or think about birth control and I haven't got pregnant!!!"


"Developed a significant limp from severe arthritic pain in right foot.  Since taking mobic for 2 weeks the pain has virtually disappeared.   I have my life back."


"Works well against nerve pain- and Interstitial Cystitis in particular.  Good stuff.  Does take some getting used to and will leave you groggy in the morning for the first few weeks."


"hasn't improved my condition in the slightest yet , taken it for 3 weeks so far. having bad wild dreams every night though, can this be a side effect?"


"Although Avandia was very efficient in controlling my blood sugars, I had a reaction to it which resulted in my heart skipping beats beating very hard.  While on Avandia, I was unable to complete stress tests.  After quitting Avandia, I have had no more heart problems and can now successfully complete stress tests."


"Awesome. No side affects at all. A little stomach ache for 5 minutes after taking pill, but goes away fast. Been smoke free for 3 months. Feel great."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have been on this pill for five months now going on 6.  I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for years, almost 10, then my body started to reject it.  But I loved it.  Perfectly timed periods and no side effects whatsoever. My doctor switched me to Natazia.  Terrible.  I had terrible acne and ridiculous bloating and weight gain all in my stomach area.  I work out regularly and eat healthy.  My only vice is alcohol.  So after three months on that pill, I was switched to Safyral.  I get very bloated one week before my period.  My period is very heavy.  I get bad cramps, although this month they seem to have subsided as today is the first of my placebo pills and no cramps this month.  But I am very bloated.  Acne minimum."


"You HAVE to drink water with the pill(s) unless you want serious cramping. Seriously, like at least a large glass or 2. Don't ignore that part of the directions."


"I began having panic and anxiety attacks when I was 25. I suffered with them for about 10 years and a new doctor put me on imipramine. I've had only one or two anxiety attacks since and its been years. I'm now 72 and I haven't noticed any bad reactions to the medication."


"I have used implanon for 8 years now. I had it removed for a short period to have our first child and will be getting this one removed in 2 days to conceive our 2nd child. Honestly, I cannot complain. I don't get my periods, I don't have mood swings and the weight I gained I lost with a little bit of effort (mind you it was only 5kg). At the end of the day is was a good choice for me as I continually forgot to take my oral contraception. For anyone out there who has the same problem try Implanon."


"I'm a really bad alcoholic, drinking every night and sometimes all day as well. My daily drinkng is  a minimum of 10 drinks to 15 drinks every single day for the past 15 years. I started taking the Naltrexone 50mg about one week ago. Trying The Sinclair Method while still drinking. I take the 50mg pill one hour before I drink. I still suffer from the cravings and realize that The Sinclair Method takes about 3 to 6 months to fully work. I have already experienced one day when I was satisfied with 3 beers, which really surprised me. Other days I still drink a lot still have the cravings. Other than mild nausea no side effects. I don't like AA. I'm going to stick with this The Sinclair Method for the 6 months."


"My daughter was on the Daytrana patch for 2 years and did very well during most of that time. Daytrana was a breath of fresh air. She was still a normal child with high spirits.  She did well in school and maintained friendships.  My complaints about the Daytrana patch was the skin irritation.  Her skin reddened and eventually scarred. It would take at least 2 hours in the morning to "kick-in" which was hell for her homeroom and 1st hr teachers. 2 hours after removal she was EXTREMELY hyperactive. Days without the patch were agonizing at best because her behavior was so over the top. She also did not eat while the patch was on. However, the benefits outweighed the negatives for me."


"I am so glad I found this forum!  My husband was on Dilantin and it was working well but a few years ago his Dr switched him to Keppra because it was newer.  He started having severe depression and mood swings to a point where they diagnosed him with Bipolar.  The depression has been getting worse and worse to a point where we almost hospitalized him because I was afraid he may hurt himself.  Today I spoke with his mental health provider and asked about trying Depakote and decided to come home and research if he could take both.  After reading the reviews I am 100% convinced that it is the Keppra causing his depression and I am taking him to the Dr Monday to have him put back on Dilantin!"


"It worked fast."


"I am 32 yrs old and I started Phentermine on 6/10/14.  When I began the program I weighed in at 241.8 lbs and as of today's weigh in check up I am at 216.2 lbs.  I have lost a total of 25.6 lbs in one month and one week.  I have completely changed my lifestyle though, I am doing a low carb diet along with exercising regularly."


"I was a addicted to oxycodone and any pain pills I could find for 10 years. My world revolved around a pill. I would lay out of work and lay in the bed if I didn't have a pill for that day. I lost 2 brothers to drugs and almost lost my life, wife, house, and 3 sons to drugs. I went to a methadone clinic because I was tired of the drugs running my life. Methadone saved my life. I have been drug free for 2 1/2 years and feel great. Thanks to this medicine I feel normal. "


"I've been taking Synthroid since October 2010 for my underactive Thyroid and am also a type 2 Diabetic.  It is now February 2011 and things are wonderful.  After about two weeks, my mood improved.  After 6 weeks I was able to get a haircut (prior to this my hair kept breaking off at the ends) and my hair shines again.  I've also lost a total of 15.5 pounds and counting.  My doctor says it's because the Synthroid has corrected my metabolism.  No bad side effects to date (fingers crossed for the future too).  I am on a low dose...25mg. Monday through to Friday only...Weekends off."


"I'm 35 and came off the pill 9 months ago after taking it for 16 years. Haven't had a period for at least a year, even when on the pill.

I'm at the 3rd round of Provera, I took it 2 times for 10 days, and got no period after the 10 days.

No negative side effects, just dry mouth.

It's almost like I wasn't taking anything. One positive thing though:  it seems to have cleared the skin rashes and fungus I started having a few months after coming off the pill.

Didn't bring my periods back, but solved my skin issues!"


"Best medicine I've been on to treat my psychosis without affecting my lipids! Experienced a little restlessness nothing major. Great overall experience!"


"wow."


"This has been a bad experience for me. I’m 28, very active, and weigh 108 lbs. I was on the Lomedia 24 Fe for one month and during that month I had terrible acne all over my forehead and mood swings - some days I would wake up in a bad mood. This absolutely murdered my sex drive and my ability to have an orgasm. I did not get my period while on the medication either. I had a pregnancy test done and it came up negative. I’m hoping to find a birth control that works for me soon."


"I had my gall-bladder removed and was prescribed Percocet 10/325 for the pain. Wonderful. It helps me sleep and gets rid of the pain."


"took this for 1 month and experienced no major mood swings or nausea.  However, immediately, I got CANKER sores (I never get these) and pimples (when my complexion is generally clear).  Then I had light spotting for a few days about 1.5 weeks prior to when my period should have came - then it was followed by heavy breakthrough bleeding.  Can't recommend this if you're trying to regulate your period.  Will be switching to a different brand."


"I had gastric bypass surgery years ago and use it for anemia related to it. It is great at absorption and very little gastric distress if any at all...WORTH the extra money and cheaper by far than IV Iron transfusion."


"I have suffered from migraines for 30 years. Was prescribed several types of medicines but as I was being violently sick with the migraines I couldn't keep anything down therefore nothing got a chance to work. I was then prescribed Cafergot suppositories and I then got my life back. They almost always work and quickly too. It seems that they are not as well known as other migraine medicines and my pharmacy does not keep a stock as I am the only customer they have that requires them. Sometimes they struggle to get them in stock for me so I have to take my prescription in plenty of time. I would be devastated if they were took off the market as they are the only thing I can take that really does work."


"I want to write a review for the girls who are reading all the horror stories out there. Everyone is different and should try this because not having to worry about a pill or shot or Nuvaring is amazing. I got Nexplanon just under a month ago. I was terrified I was going to be miserable. I have had minimal side effects. No spotting, I haven't gained any weight, my hair is not falling out, and zero signs of depression. The only side effects I have experienced was nausea the first week (only for a short time midday) and I was moody for a short period (I also was on my period when it was inserted - so I cannot rule out that I was still PMSing). I switched from the pill and am happy with my results thus far!"


"I used Lutera for just about 3-4 months, and loved it.  No real side effects, switched to it from Ortho tri Lo.  Didn't seem so hungry after I made the switch.  After about 3-4 months I switched to Nuva Ring for ease of use.  Just now starting the ring, and if it goes poorly I would happily go back to Lutera."


"I was diagnosed with PMDD 3 years ago by my gynecologist & was prescribed YAZ. Let me just say that it changed my hormones to a more controllable manner. I love YAZ & I cannot live without it (honestly) without YAZ I have severe depression during ovulation & cannot get out of bed. PMDD was interfering with my day to day life & relationships. After 3 months of taking YAZ I felt 100% better, I know that every medication has side effects but I didn't get any on YAZ. I came off YAZ after my wedding to try fall a baby & fell pregnant within 8 weeks. I have now given birth & straight back on it as I wouldn't be able to go through PMDD with a new born baby."


"I have Bipolar 1 along with some horrible horrible anxiety. Started taking Lamictal a few months ago and I'm now on 200mg. I haven't felt this stable in many many many years. My anxiety has pretty much disappeared it feels so strange living a normal life again. I'm so happy. Please give it a go :-)"


"I'm probably the only one I know taking this for inflammation from a frozen shoulder as I have had serious side effects from steriod shots, so its a viable alternative.  It's not bad, it is working slowly but definitely have to take it with food.  I'm taking 750 twice a day but started breaking them in half which is not easy but overall not a bad drug, for what it is intended for I've heard great things, not just from this site."


"I was bleeding 24/7 and anemic due to a large fibroid.  First I tried Depo Provera shots, which didn't work.  All bleeding stopped about a week and a half after my first Lupron shot.  At this point, it's only been a month, so I don't know if I'll still need a hysterectomy. "


"Does not work at all!!!!!!!!! I started using Abreva at the first sign of a cold sore and less than 4 hours  later I had a small bump appear. I was using Abreva all day but by bedtime ( 12 hour's after I first applied ) I had a full blown cold sore. 2 days later and now my whole top lip is broke out. I washed the area and used Q tips to apply but for some reason it still spread. I have never had one to spread before so I will never use this again. I will just stick with tea tree oil."


"I have just ended my 3 month on adipex, I lost a total of 55 lbs and now starting my six months on belviq. My starting weight was 361 in March of 2015 and now I currently weiGH 305. I have read that many used belviq and have lost weight and some haven't so I guess I just have to wait and see how it works for me. I do work out now and eat healthy my biggest fear is gaining the weight back while isbeing off adipex. My question is did anyone start adipex and then go on belviq? If so what was your experience. Will update monthly after my weigh ins :)"


"I've been on Effexor now for 2 years after trying Prozac and Celexa (which both had awful side effects). My dose ranged from 37.5 to 112.5. I am now at a point in my life where I feel like I can break through my depression and get off these drugs. I want to start having kids and Effexor is very anti-baby. Today is day 5 and the only thing I have noticed is all I want to do is sleep and I have cried every single day since lowering my dose. I still feel like it is worth it to get off them though. They had only minor side effects such as lowered sex drive and nauseous if you don't eat but I feel like I can find a more natural way to feel better! Good luck to everyone out there, it's hard but you can do it!"


"This medicine made me horribly sick. I get sinus infection 1-2x per year and typically am prescribed azythromicin (z-pack) which works great.  This time a new NP prescribed me 875mg augmenting 2x/day.  I've never really had trouble with antibiotics so I obliged and started taking it.  I was 4 doses in, and started getting diarreah and it continued into the next day so I took some Imodium.  I should also mention that my voice got extremely hoarse after starting the medicine too.  The Imodium seemed to help a little but I had a mild underlying continuous stomach ache that didn't go away.  By the 3rd day I had headache fever bloating and diarreah. I stopped taking it 4th day. Two days later I am still sick with stomach pain. This is the devil!"


"At the time, I think Viberzi worked for my IBS but it made me nauseous and didn't feel well.   After the first two weeks, it put me in the bed because I was so fatigued.  Now, I have a prescription that cost over $1,000 that I can't use because I can't handle Viberzi.  After the Viberzi, I was craving sugar and so I got some hard candies.  My IBS got better and I thought it might be because it created a lot of saliva which helped with digestion.  Therefore, I got some digestive enzymes with Amylase which is the enzyme in saliva and now,  I am eating all sorts of foods with absolutely no problems except maybe some burping."


"I was terrified to use epiduo after reading the reviews but once I realized I had to buffer it, it seemed much more approachable. If you're not used to using retinoids, don't put this directly on your face and don't use it every night. I took a pretty conservative approach and mostly been able to minimize pain/flaking.

Here's what I do:
-Wash my face with a gentle cleanser (I use Aveeno Positively Radiant)
-Put on some cerave moisturizer
-Wait 20 minutes
-Put on the epiduo forte

I only do this at night, once every 2-3 days. If I feel my skin getting irritated, I'll stop using the epiduo till it gets back to normal. Don't muck around with your skin! If it's irritated and awful, no reason to torture yourself and use the epiduo every night just use it every couple of nights"


"So glad I looked up these reviews! I had the same experience as others with the anxiety, wanting to crawl out of my skin feeling. I had the Benadryl as well, but it didn't help. The doctors and nurses were acting like I was crazy and like they had never heard of this reaction. I'm glad to know I'm not alone and that I wasn't imagining these symptoms.  I literally could not lie in the bed - I was pacing around the hospital room,  and actually had to jump up and down because I was so restless. Absolutely awful feeling - I'd almost rather have the migraine (almost, but not quite). They finally had to give me Ativan to help. The Reglan did get rid of my migraine though, that's why 2 stars. "


"When Nexplanon was first inserted in my arm, it was very painful and my arm was black and blue for a week. I didn't have a period for the first 8 months of it. My moods were normal and sex drive. The beginning of 2016. I started to spot for weeks, my moods were changing a lot, my migraines were harsh, had no sex drive at all. My arms and legs were starting to feel numb for no reason. At this point had it in for a year. All and all it was just a very bad experience for me! My Gyn took it out and was "stuck" in my arm and took 10 minutes to get it out. Never going to get an implant again..."


"I have both asthma symptoms and copd so advair was given to me for the asthma first. It really helped me breathe better and it is a great med for long term control. As my copd progressed, I was unable to get a good breath to inhale from the diskus so my doc changed me to the HFA inhaler form. Advair is great and effective and I sure know when I have run out how much it helps me breathe."


"I have been sober 2 years + 1 month.

I wonder how many people are on it this long?

How do I wean off of it?

I don't want to take it forever."


"I love Mirena! I got it put in 6 weeks after having my daughter and yes it hurt and I cramped after but I just had a baby so it was nothing I couldn't handle. I had it put in a little less then a year ago and I just stopped getting periods. I have light spotting and I still get my symptoms of a period. I love having Mirena because I don't have to remind myself to take a pill and I also love how effective it is. Mirena is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. "


"I absolutely love it. I have had it in for several months now. I am working on a full sleeve (tattoos) on my left arm where my Dr wanted to put it (I'm right handed and they usually place it in the opposite arm) but I explained that and asked if I could get tattooed over the area. She didn't recommend it so placed it in my right arm. The first 3 weeks it looked like I got beat all around the insertion site, but it didn't hurt. I haven't had a period, or even any spotting. I get cramps occasionally but not even annoying enough to take ibuprofen. No weight gain (I've actually LOST weight) and the only thing negative I could say is I have a tiny circular scar where it was placed, but it doesn't bother me at all."


"I first got the Implanon after I had my son in 2011. It was great!!! I only had a period every 2-3 months and absolutely no other side effects. I got it taken out and another one inserted in September 2015 and everything was the same until September 2016. Everything changed. It started with my period but with that I became very nauseous, depressed, anxious, and worried. I was angry and upset and just wanted to stay in bed. Went to doctor and was given meds for depression and panic attacks but I knew something had to be the cause because I've never ever had these problems. I've had blood tests ran, Pap smear, and even ultrasounds on my Thyroid and abdomen. Nothing was found. After reading reviews on the implanon, it was removed last week!!"


"Been on Invega ER for two months; so much better in the head, sorted the acute psychosis out, organized my thoughts in a new and helpful way, slight orthostatic hypotension and drowsiness is easing - overall, this has been a saviour re paranoia and hallucinations etc.  AND I am more motivated to do things; continuing with Pristiq at 200mgs and paliperidone 9mg good."


"My husband started taking this medication when he was depressed at work (and in the cold darkness of Finnish winter). After a few days, he suddenly became irritable, hyper-sensitive and seems to not recognise that he isn't the only person in the world and he is hurting other people.

Now, two weeks later, he thinks he feels good and refuses to acknowledge that he has become a very different person, he thinks he has always been this way. Maybe he does feel good, but I am not the only person who has noticed and  complained about these personality changes he refuses to acknowledge. The man I am living with is not my husband and has done nothing but yell at me for the past couple weeks. This medication ruined our marriage quite efficiently."


"For severe pain and problems in the lower back this should be the very least that is recommended for pain, at least temporarily until something else can be figured out (injection blocks, PT, etc). This has helped me more than almost anything else I've tried, and after taking these my sharp shooting pain turns into just a "heart-beat" type throb that I can feel in my lower back."


"It works excellently. It's improved my son's hope for his asthma to get better."


"I had very sudden onset post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and psychotic depression. What absolute hell I was going through for a good 18 months of doctors experimenting with different medicines on me. All the other antipsychotics had bad effects on me and made my depression worse. My last admission to hospital was for my own safety and as a last ditch effort when I was suicidal my psychiatrist thought we'd try Saphris. Within 4 days I noticed a complete change for the better. It helps me sleep but I suspect it also takes away a bit of my drive to exercise which I hate because I used to work in the fitness industry. I do take 2 other medicines so it could be the combination. Generally a positive experience with this medication."


"I have been taking Contrave for 1 month now.  I started at 176lbs and I'm now down to 163.  I am happy with the 13 pound lost in a month's time.  I still have 17 pounds to go but this is a good product.  I only got sick 1 day.  It has really helped to control my over eating and has made me more of aware of what and how much I eat.  I try to walk up to 30 mins per day but also I watch my carb intake.  I don't eat over 1200 calories per day.  I dream a lot but they aren't nightmares.  So far so good with the side effects.  I highly recommend this drug!!"


"I started taking Alli once I plateaued after losing about 12lbs and it has kick started my weight loss again.  I am on a daily exercise routine and try to stay very active.  My eating habits are not great but not bad.  With Alli if you eat too much fat you will have "side effects".  With my experience I have had soft stools with oil slicks and oily Flatulence which is unpleasant but a motivation to stop me from eating things I shouldn't be eating.  It acts as a consequence to your stupid choices, which I need.  After a solid week of taking it 3x a day with each meal I have lost 2 lbs this week.  I was stalled for 4 weeks without any loss which is very frustrating!  This works, hands down! 30 lb to go."


"I have been taking this medicine for 3 weeks.  During the three weeks I have experienced severe mood swings to the point of psychosis.  I have had irritability on a daily basis and worsening of depression.  The psychosis has made me stop taking the medicine.  I had been on Seroquel for years and because of a huge weight gain, I stopped taking it.  I don't know where to go from here."


"Diagnosed 2010 (age 24), monthly flares for nearly a year. Luckily after every relapse I bounced back to normal with no lasting symptoms however the constant hospitalization wrecked havoc with my life. Copaxone and Avonex didn't work as well, JC negative so was put onto Tysabri 2 years ago without a single relapse. Back to pre-diagnosis feeling. Best medicine ever."


"It is 1am and my lady parts are on fire. Never again"


"I got Implanon in June of this year. Since then I've experienced weight gain, depression, acne outbreaks and periods that last up to 5 weeks. It's effective but the side effects are harsh."


"It is good."


"This is a great medication, and it really works, but i would not recommend it, BECAUSE ITS SO ADDICTING! please dont get into it."


"I took 2 Advil for 5 yrs to alleviate arthritis pain.  My hip/groin pain got so bad, I finally went to see a Doc.  He prescribed Celebrex..  It works GREAT for my hands.... but not my hip. Someone suggested taking Tylenol WITH the Celebrex -- MUCH better results. I take l,000 mg of Tylenol and 200 mg Celebrex, daily.  I hope by Summer the heat will help my arthritis and I can cut back on the Tylenol.  Celebrex is very expensive. I wish the results had been a lot better for me but as a professional pianist, I'm SO grateful that it works great on my hands."


"It doesn't do a thing for me.  Valium on a prn basis works MUCH better."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Tomorrow will be my 3rd colonoscopy in a 2 year period. I have never done a liquid prep before. I took 2 Dulcolax, then about 2 and 1/2 hours later, I went into the bathroom with the Suprep mix. To me, the taste was dreadful. I had to gulp it down and chase it with some clear juice. I had it all gone on less than a minute. It worked very quick. Within 5-10 minutes of taking it. No pain at all. But I have a feeling I may be on the toilet all night. My bottom is very sore as well, but that is to be expected. I have been going roughly every 10 minutes for the last 7 hours. All in all, this does its job pretty effectively!"


"Dries up my head and stops the ear-ache without having to take an antibiotic."


"I was diagnosed with UC at 18 years old. After a week in the hospital they came up with the final diagnosis and after a few tried meds they landed me on Lialda and it worked great for me for 7-8 years, only experiencing flare ups if I were to drink too much alcohol and lose sleep which was rare but in that case I would need to use prednisone to get back into remission. Healthy diet, sleep, exercise, and Lialda kept me normal! I am 26 now and I feel my body has built up a tolerance, for the past year I have been on a low, going to the restroom more than 5 times a day. Up until now Lialda was perfect. With the Shire card and health insurance it was only $10 a month."


"PLEASE don't let bad reviews prevent you from trying Kyleena!!!! I got mine inserted on 09/05/17. Insertion was not painful. It was more uncomfortable than anything. Got mine inserted a week and a half before my period and it still didn't hurt. I took 800mg of Ibuprofen approx. 2 hours prior to insertion. After insertion I had no cramps and spotted for about an hour. Everyone reacts to pain differently. So don't let the bad reviews keep you from trying this BC out. Will do updated reviews after 1 month and 6 months."


"SEVERE WEIGHT GAIN and METABOLIC SYNDROME! I had always suffered from anxiety from childhood to adulthood. My doctor prescribed a low dosage of 150 MG in December 2010, At the time I was prescribed Seroquel XR 150 MG, I weighed 96 lbs, petite frame, size 0 or 2.  On January 11, 2012, I weighed in at 136 lbs. The 40 lbs of weight gain within one year went to my abdomen and I am covered in cellulite on my abs, hips, back, buttocks and thighs. I monitored my diet and intake the entire time, but the weight gain was out of control."


"Tried Zoloft and lexapro but had stomach problem side effects for months. I tried the generic Prozac 20 mg and had a month of horrible side effects until 6 weeks it finally worked. Helps so much, no attacks and only have a little anxiety once in a while. Worth it!!!!"


"I've been on symbyax now off and on for 12 years. It helps me with mood and anxiety. It also helps me sleep. The bad side is the weight gain lack of energy muscle weakness and it has totally killed any and all sex drive. I've tried to use pills to be able to perform but nothing works. Now I worry about losing my wife everyday. If I had been told years ago about this side effect I would have never taken this drug. Believe me it takes its toll on you. Really hard to wean myself off because of all the other meds I've taken symbyax is the only one that helps. Just wonder if it's worth the trade off."


"I got the shot May 5, right after a period. I only did one round of the BC. I had two weird kindof super-low flow and darkish periods over the next two months, that both gradually lightened until I had no period. I got my period back Dec 2 of that year. I had a lot of hormonal issues however that were sorting themselves out while I didn't have my period. Mostly it was a lot of emotional extremes. Little things bothered me like they were big things.

Overall, I'd take this birth control again. I'm certainly not pregnant, and I certainly got my money's worth out of the shot. It cost me a $30 co-pay with Blue Cross in NC, plus the price of the two appointments I needed. One consultation, and one 3-minute appointment of getting the shot."


"Complera is the only medication I have taken. At first the side effect were horrible terrible headache, bloating and foul smelling gas. Eventually those side effects when away but I did notice that I have been losing fat in certain places. Like my face, stomach and arms. My doctor basically dismissed my concerns but I know my body.  I started taking a some protein and working out hoping this will counter act the medication. I like Complera but it's not worth a change in my appearance."


"Achy back, trouble sleeping."


"Doctor prescribed 70 MG Alendronate weekly for pre-osteporisis. I also have a compressed disc in my lower back causing chronic back pain for 30 years which was being controlled by Naprosyn (Anti inflamatory). After 3 doses of Alendronate I am bedridden with severe lower back pain. Pain is so bad I am now on morphine. Haven't talked to my doctor yet but the hospital ER Dr / Pharmacist said there aren't indications that Alendronate can cause such severe pain after taking 3 weekly doses. Seems to me there are others having severe side effects like mine within a few days or weeks of starting the medication? Please let me know if you have, thank you."


"At 36 years of age, this is my first ever birth control pill. I was placed on Apri 2 months prior to my myomectomy (surgery to remove fibroid tumors from utérus).  I 've been taking them for 2 1/2 weeks now. I didnt get my period as scheduled and I've expérienced fréquent crying spells."


"pain  at buttock site  large lump on injection site 6 months now  dizziness, the worst tingling, pins and needles on right  foot  and other various sites on extremities.  comes and goes,also pain on bottom of foot."


"I got Nexplanon inserted after giving birth to my son and have had it for 3 months. Right away I had terrible headaches that lasted about a week. I got off my period the day before insertion and the day after insertion I started heavy bleeding again for 2 weeks, then spotting which lasted 4 weeks straight. Some days heavy enough to wear a light tampon & others light enough for just a pantyliner but it was nonstop. The spotting isn't so bad & has gotten lighter. I have lost all baby weight. I am slender & normally energetic with a big appetite but now I hardly eat & have no energy (possibly because I'm a new mom) but my worst symptom is that I am extremely moody! I am waiting 6 months before I take it out."


"I took Zoloft for a couple of years...it worked great for depression but it absolutely killed my sex drive."


"Was taking this medication Mybetriq for a little five years. During this time I had no side effects, however, after awhile the positive affects wore off and then my symptoms came back like I wasn't even taking anything. It did work for me but I'm one whose body adaptation is quick with medications. Couldn't go any higher because when coming off Oxybutin was put on highest dose. Hope this helps."


"Update from 8/17 post. I have dropped a total of 27 pounds (started at 230). There is no doubt this medicine works well but keep in mind I am highly motivated and work out 4-5 times a week. Belviq works really well on sugar cravings. I think this product will be very good for alcoholics, although I am not a heavy drinker my craving and interest in alcohol have gone way down. So now it is maybe one glass of wine with dinner instead of two or three. I am paying $145 with discount but worth it."


"DOESN'T WORK! Only gave me the worst night of my life. I had the worst cramps ever! It felt like labor and theres no way you can lay/ bend to fix the pain. I was throwing up while  trying to go to the bathroom. Couldn't go to the bathroom, couldn't breathe, sweating, and in  panic. It works for some but  if your not sure if it works for you, don't try it, its not worth it!"


"I have been taking BuSpar for 8 plus years.  I still have some side effects of dizziness if taken on an empty stomach and coffee but I think that is asking for trouble.  I can honestly say it saved my marriage and family life.  High stressed medical position always being on call which increased my anxiety. Anxiety was at such a level that no one could stand to be around me.  I take 10mg once in the morning which lowers my anxiety to a tolerable level for the day.  When I feel extra stress coming on I take 10mg in the morning and 10mg at night.  It does not work for everyone as many have mentioned but it has given me a second wind to enjoy life to the fullest."


"Benazepril for High Blood Pressure: Like the previous user. The medication actually worked great for my blood pressure.  One small pill daily. I developed a cough that would not go away, especially at night. I also have severe asthma so I don't know if that has something to do with the medicine not working out.  The cough is a dry cough and NOT fun.  I wished the medicine worked out for me."


"My wife started to take this about a month ago and she had to stop it because she started having stomach pain, now she is is having to have her gallbladder removed because of this medicine!"


"Three years in psychiatric corrections/ forensics. Works fast on patients that are hostile and combative. Approximative acting time of 10/15minutes to relax with correct dose."


"I take 200mg about 45 min before sexual activity, this usually allows me to get hard enough to penetrate and maintain an erection until I get the job done (10-15 minutes). Once I have ejaculated I cannot get another erection. I have found that Stendra works better if you make a lot of time for foreplay to help with arousal (for both of you), usually more fun also. For me this med is not as effective as Cialis or Viagra but the side effects are MUCH more tolerable."


"My son has been on this for about 2 years, as well as vyvanse. It really calms him down so he can go to bed and get a good nights sleep! He used to have nightmares, but since hes been on this medication, he hasn't had one! Again I thank the makers of these wonder drugs and I know my son thanks you all as well!"


"Was on Copaxone for 3 years. Horrid reaction after many injections as it seemed I was often hitting a vein. Huge welts from injections that took weeks to subside. Last straw was the killing of flesh on left arm. Surgeon said damage looked like a chemical burn from the inside out. Two surgeries to repair and have 8 inch scar as permanent reminder. This was back in 2003."


"This antibiotic is a God send! I am allergic to Penicillins and Sulfas. At first I tried Cipro, it didn't work. I had kidney stones for 8 months, I finally got my second lithotripsy in June for an 8x9mm stone and then my kidney got infected. This is my fourth day on Macrobid and I have had no serious side effects except 1 bout of diarrhea on day 1, which was welcomed compared to the nausea and pain from the infection. Macrobid actually got rid of my nausea!"


"I finally wound up on Remeron about 15 years ago (circa 2002), after going through many SSRI antidepressants.  All of the SSRI's I have tried have caused sexual side effects that I don't want to tolerate (delayed ejaculation).  Remeron does not do this, in fact it seems to make it very easy to achieve orgasm.  The only downside to Mirtazapine is that it increases your appetite and you have to fight the urge to eat too many carbs.
It controls my anxiety, depression and OCD excellently."


"I was prescribed Percocet a number of times for surgeries and a bulging disc. The last time I went to the pharmacy they gave me Roxicet and swore they gave me the wrong medicine. It is exactly the same medicine as other oxycodone I have received in the past but did not work the same way (less pain relief). It has to do with the mixers/additives. I see a number of others who have had the same problem. This affects people differently so you might have a trial and error process. For me Roxi equals very little pain relief."


"I had great relief of the pain issue but I gained 40 pounds in 3 months. My weight has been stable for 15 years until I began gaining weight overnight. The sudden weight gain is worse than the initial pain so I have discontinued taking Celebrex."


"Not that bad, all my friends and family told me their experiences and now I am going through it myself. half gallon at night, and half gallon in the morning. Occupying the restroom every 5 minutes. I am just following through the direction... hope the screening is a smooth one too."


"Suffering from debilitating depression and anxiety for many years I've tried many meds that have very little effect and made me feel just emotionally numb. I tried Viibryd. My life has changed. The restless legs was definitely uncomfortable. But after being on it almost 2 years I only take 10mg every other day since it has had time to clear my head so I'm able to learn some life coping skills. Love me some Viibryd!"


"I have recurring shingles brought on by stress.  The pain lasts for weeks into months and wearing clothes can be agony. It zaps my energy and all I feel is lightning under my skin. It's usually garnished with fever blisters in my nose and left eye and left ear. 3 outbreaks a year was too much emotionally. I take valtrex now as suppressant with no side effects.

I recently had a very stressful event that brought them out of hiding and I quickly went to a treatment dose and withing 3 days the blisters were scabbed over and the pain never really got a chance to crescendo . IT'S been 6 days and I feel normal.

The higher dose makes me a bit cranky but it's nothing like living with shingles.  I feel like I have my life back."


"I got the nexplanon within two months of having my son. I have now had it for two years and have had maybe one period which is great, but also kind of worries me what the long term health risks are with not having a period. No weight gain, no increase in acne. I will say though that it's basically killed my sex drive."


"I tried some others before getting this one and though they were effective, experienced a variety of side-effects. This one worked well from the start without any side effects! Love it!"


"My doctor suggested Kariva to me because I was previously on Ortho Tri-Cyclen (which made me extremely moody/emotional) and more recently Lo-Estrin (which gave me no sex drive whatsoever and made me completely emotionless).  I was anxious to find a happy medium after going from one extreme to the other.  I've been on Kariva for three months now.  I've never been one to have any type of headaches of any kind, and after being on Kariva I experience headaches multiple times a day.  I'm extremely tired all the time and I've gained weight in my breasts (I'm naturally a D and I've went up to a large DD). No sex drive, extreme mood swings, acne and increased appetite. I can't wait to get off this pill.  Look for other options before taking Kariva."


"I began taking this medication October 2011 for depression and anxiety as recommended by general practitioner. (It is the only medicine for Depression/Anxiety that I have ever taken) I ramped up weekly from 0.5 to 15 mg. My doc wanted me on 20 mg per day but I decided 15mg was for me. I felt an immediate boost upon first taking only 0.5. Felt a sense of happiness that had been missing for many, many years.  At 15 mg I felt much less stressed and much happier overall. I could deal with friends, family and strangers much more easily. After a few months of doing well I noticed that the "fog had set in", I had a hard time focusing on anything for an extended period. This was accompanied by increased anger and NO SEX DRIVE at all. I have now weaned myself off."


"Okay for panic disorder."


"Prescribed Cipro for a urinary tract infection 500 mg 1 every 12 hrs, noticed a great difference after 2 pills. Made me feel a little sick still after 3 days so I started breaking the tablet in half to help with the blah feeling. Works great for urinary tract infection."


"I'm a 37 years old and I have had "heat rash" since I was a young child. My body is usually covered in bumps from spring to fall. I have been prescribed lotions and steroid creams which usually just helps with the itching. Since there was a warm weather I started breaking out in December and because of travel to hot places my body was covered in bumps by February. So in May I saw a new dermatologist, she did a biopsy for lichen planus and placed me on prednisone. I took a 20 day dose and within a few days the texture and size change. Also some disappeared and there was no more irritation. I've been off prednisone for 2 weeks now and I've have started to breakout and the irritation has started back."


"Hello everyone,  I got Mirena inserted 4 years ago as of this Nov 2016. It's been great. My period before Mirena was 9 days, set to a stopwatch, heavy, with cramping that made me vomit and pass out for several hours on a 28 day cycle. It was impending doom and very easy to track. Now my period is very sporadic. I just started a "cycle" 2 days ago with terror cramps and heavy flow,  but last time i had this kind of period was 8 months ago. In between has been spotting or nothing. The negative reviews are really negative and the positive reviews are really positive.  Everyone has a different body and it's hard to go off of reviews and see  how yours will respond.  Do your research and understand the risks. It was the best choice I've made %u263A"


"I took Lo Loestrin Fe for 9 months. It was the first contraceptive I had taken but my body had a hard time getting used to it. I broke out in mild hives, I had muscle aches, nausea, mood swings the first week. After that things pretty well smoothed out slowly I didn't break through bleed, didn't gain weight, acne cleared up maybe 5 periods the whole time I took it. It definitely helped with cramps and pain, which is why I began taking it. Though it worked good after about 5 months of taking it I began getting migraines and feeling tired all the time and cramping a little more so I'm switching off it, but it was good for me for a while I really liked it!"


"I am on 300 mgs of Dilantin one day and 400 mg the next day. Unfortunately, the day I take 400 mg I do not get the full sound sleep at night. What are the experiences of others?"


"I was previously on Lo Loestrin for three years because I cannot be on a pill that has a lot of estrogen. My insurance covered very little of it (it was costing me $120 a month) so my doctor prescribed Sharobel. I spotted for about a month when I first started taking it, and then didn't get my period for about three to four months. For the past two months, I have been spotting almost everyday, some days actually seem like a full-blown period. It will stop for a day or two at most, and then I am spotting again. I haven't experienced any other negative effects, but with this birth control being less effective than others on top of the months of spotting, it is not the best option for me."


"I take allergy preparations year round, Claritin in fall and winter, and Allegra spring and summer. Both claim to be effective immediately, (within hours) however, my experience is that it takes a week for them to work, so, for a week in spring, and a week in the fall, I take both, otherwise I am miserable with runny nose itchy eyes, sore throat, etc. Both claim to be non drowsy, but for me this is not the case, so I take them at night. I give allegra a middle of the road 5 as a rating, because it's better than nothing!"


"I went off Enbrel due to  fungal and other bad infections. My body and brain sped up on withdrawal for a month.
My RA Dr. recommended to try  xeljanz almost 2 years later. My arthritis got worse, and I had most of the same symptoms within one and 1/2 months. I went off and I had worse side effects of speeding brain for over three months. Which included 1 month of pychiatric inpatient treatment for withdrawal. Does xeljanz stand behind their drug? Will I be compensated for the results. I hope to start working again in the next month or so. These two drugs have greatly impacted my health and working ability."


"I used Chantix to quit 4 years ago.  Don't remember having any side effects then.  I went 3 weeks without a cigarette and was feeling really confident, so rather than spend the money on a refill, I decided to try it on my own.  Huge mistake!  Within 2 weeks I was smoking again.  4 years later and I'm ready to try again.  I'm on week 3 and it's not working quite as well this time.  I'm still smoking, but considerably less before.  I'm down to about 3/4 of a pack a day compared to my usual 2 or more packs a day.  I'm definitely having more side effects. So tired this week I could barely function and upset stomach all day, but it's getting better.  I plan on taking the recommended 3 months this time to increase my chance of quitting for good."


"The adhesive used for these particular patches works a lot better than the other comparable products on the market by far. As long as you get them on straight and unwrinkled the first time, they will stay on for virtually as long as they last, which also happens to exceed comparable products by far. Couple this with the much less expensive price and you have three reasons why this is simply a superior product to the others.

It should be noted that the one time I almost bought another name brand product similar to that of SalonPas, the pharmacist, without solicitation or knowing I had a preferance, recommended I go elsewhere to find SalonPas, as they were far superior in his opinion as well."


"I got mine October 18th 2014, six weeks after giving birth. The first few months were hell. Insertion didn't hurt but I was still taking Hydrocodones from my episiotomy so that's probably why. I bled for 4 months straight. Then when my periods came back they lasted two weeks. I lost so much weight, and it wasn't good because I'm underweight. I became so moody and just mean. This is my first birth control, and it could be my body just not reacting wel to hormones. However, a year later and my periods are now 2-3 days and barely anything. I'm happier now and I'm glad I didn't take it out. Everyone's body is different."


"Extreme increase  in high BLOOD pressure to the point that vein in my forehead enlarged & was pounding so hard it hurt & I was very frightened. I took atenolol25mg & .05mg of clonazepam  which minimized I'mworst of pounding/pulsing in vein in forehead directly over /above left eye.Dr.Did not inform me of fact that  I could not take vitamins and should  supplement with potassium & that sudden discontinuation of medication is NOT advisable

EXTREMELY  ADVERSE & FEARFUL  REACTION.REFUSE TO CONTINUE."


"Works like a miracle. My job requires some presentation skills and no amount of practice reduced the anxiety. My speaking skills improved with Toastmasters, but the anxiety was still crippling. I no longer fear giving workshops and presentations. I only need take it prior to giving a presentation - just once in a while - and a single pill does the trick. Far superior to anxiety meds like Xanax. Propranolol reduces the anxiety with no negative effects on my performance, and no side effects that I've noticed."


"It helps some but in the large picture, not much.  I can walk to the back of my house 40 feet without having to stop to catch my breath, but still breathing heavily.  Prior, I had to stop every 15 feet or so to catch my breath.  Improvement?  Yes.  Better?  No."


"When I was initially diagnosed, my Dr. put me on Metformin, which just ripped my stomach to bits.  He prescribed Actos in October, and I had really good luck with it until around Christmastime - I started having HORRIBLE sinus problems and nosebleeds.  We dropped to a 15 mg dose, but still no change with the sinus issues.  I went off it all together and all the symptoms disappeared.

It was never our long term plan to keep me on Actos because of the cardiac implications, but it did the job we needed it to do; I went from fasting 400-504 BG readings down to fasting readings of 110-115."


"My doctor has me taken 1800mg a day and its still not helping me with my pain. I can't go out cause my legs hurt as soon as I stand up.

My arms hurt I have trouble doing house work  basically all I do is stay home. I hate gabapentin"


"I had a total thyroidectomy last September. From the surgery until now (5/17/17) I had gained another 30lbs. Before my thyroid issues my normal weight was 130-140..I have gained roughly 70-80lbs since Feb 2016. Seen my endocrinologist last Wednesday (5/10/17) they decided to start me on phenermine. I started the pills Friday 5/12/17 starting weight 216lbs. Had to see my primary care doc today (5/17/17) and I lost 4lbs! I can't tell you how good it feels to jump on the scale and see that I lost instead of gained. Day 1 I experienced mild dizzyness, dry mouth, heart racing. I drank a lot of water and by the end of the day I felt fine. if you can stick through your body adjusting to medicine this pill will work for you!"


"I only slept 20 minutes of REM Sleep, with a slight dream, all night long. No effect what so ever. It was like I didn't take anything. The Belsomra was 20mg, I couldn't believe that it don't work for me, at all.  When I take 30mg of Temazepam , I get about 5 hours of good sleep.  I rate Belsomra 20mg a grade of F.  I rate Temazepam a grade of A.  By the way Ambien gets a F too."


"My only complaint is that I got the prescription from a GP who started me off on 150 mg which is way too intense a dose to start off with and made me have crazy mood swings. I've done my research and got a new doctor, and there's something called a 75mg pill they're supposed to start you on so you can ease into it.  But anyway...I've been on it for 3 months now and my mood has improved significantly.  I'm a lot more active than I used to be (I used to be very lethargic and unmotivated) and I'm also a lot more talkative.  Definitely saved my life. "


"I suffer from social anxiety, separation anxiety. My doctor recommended zoloft. I was on a regular dose not sure now much that was. After taking it I felt terrible I had a horrible pain in my chest and I couldn't breath. The pain in my chest went all the way up my throat. I went back to my doctor and she suggested a lower dose. Once again I took the pill and the pain was still terrible. I personally had a terrible experience with zoloft."


"Have been on Mekinist and Dabrafenib for 2 weeks only. So far melanomas have reduced in size. Blood test results were good. Hoping it continues but I must stress it is only early days for me. Two combined drugs are working as they should. Some nausea, aching and itchiness. But taking antihistamines. Melanomas are in spine so pain expected."


"So got my wisdom teeth out about three days ago had an infection got perscribed some other crazy antibiotic wasn't comfortable taking it so I asked for a new one the next day and got perscribed zpack was hesitating to take this one also because of the reviews and warnings it has im also not one for taking antibiotics. Don't listen to the reviews your reading they're scary I have terrible anxiety but it's rare that people have those side effects So yesterday I finally took it. only had slight nausea and abdominal pains I think the nausea was from the nervousness I also got an awesome sleep I'm already feeling better after my 2nd dose have 3 days to go. But I think it's doing it's job just eat yogurt and take a probiotic you will be fine"
