"My husband switched Rheumy's & the new doc felt Remicade was not longer controlling his AS as his C-spine has started to fuse.  After 3 months of talking up the benefits of Cosentyx my husband made the switch.  Worse decision ever. Quality of life is horrible, he lives in his recliner once again. Back pain severe. Joints swollen, which never happened before. And the worst part 3 bouts of upper respiratory infections, last one is now pneumonia.  Doc says at first not the Cosentyx...but it's a side effect I say. Duh.  Very disappointed.  Hope he can restart Remicade."


"Thanks to God, my dr and the makers of sutent, I'm still here. I got my left kidney removed and three years later I discovered a mets in the spine and liver which was treated with radiation followed by sutent. I started with 50mg but couldn't tolerate so it got reduced to 25mg. The condition is stable for 8 months now and the side effects are bearable. I'm very grateful and recommend this medication to anyone who needs it"


"I notice that every time I urinated it was burning real bad. It got to a point where I was also burning when I wasn't urinating. I then requested a doctors appoint... Doctor had me take a urine test. I tested positive for chlamydia and was prescribed 4 pills for the STI. After 24 hours the burning feeling started to go away and so I thought everything was okay. I retested 1.5 month later instead of 2 weeks after. I still tested positive. My doctor had me come in that day and get a injection and then I was prescribed doxycycline mono 100 MG for 7 days. I'm currently on the meds no side affects at all. I do notice that after 30 to 60 min of taking the meds I feel minor burning. I'm still 4 day in. I'll let you know what I test 2weeks from now"


"Have taken Prevacid, Protonix, Prilosec up to 2 times a day along with having taken Tagamet, Zantac in between with up to 15 tums a day and still daily severe burning and pain in chest. Then took this pill. Now it's the only thing I take and no more pain. Its great, no side effects noted yet."


"I'm a 17 year old female. I'm in my first semester of college. I've had depression since about 13/14 and I've always had anxiety. Unfortunately, my anxiety became intolerable once I started college. I've been on Zoloft for a week and a half. The first week I took 25 mg, now I'm up to 50 mg. I've only had one panic attack since starting. I feel way more relaxed. As for the depression, I used to sit around all day just thinking about how much I hate life. I haven't been doing this anymore since I started on Zoloft. I'm hoping Zoloft will do even more for me after a few more weeks. I'm finally looking forward to the future with hope."


"It's three days after finishing the tenth day of taking Pylera. The first four days of taking the medication, I felt no side effects. On days five through ten, I was nauseous, dizzy, and had a headache, especially right after taking my daily doses. I took the medicine with a meal three times a day and with a light snack before bed. Stools also turned a dark greenish color and were often irregular throughout the day bordering on diarrhea. Also had a feeling of uneasiness, like a panic attack, right after taking the medicine on three occasions. I'll have to check with my doctor to confirm if the H. pylori has been eradicated and also wait a few weeks to see if my ulcers heal (which I've read can take from a few weeks to a few months)."


"Good experience - no bad side effects."


"I had been addicted to opiates for almost 3 years until I went into a detox center where they put me on Suboxone for 7 days. Of course when I was on it I felt great; but it has been over a week since I've stopped and I still feel terrible. There were actually 3 people in the facility that were trying to get off Suboxone, because they had been on it for so long. I know you people all feel its a miracle drug, but eventually you will have to stop taking it and hopefully weening off of it goes smoother for you. I've heard you don't want to take it for that long because its hard to come off. I do wish everyone the best of luck."


"I've been on Ambien for years; no problems.  I'm 6 months out from having gastric bypass surgery.  Two months ago, I started waking up in the night - restless, agitated, heart pounding, feeling like I couldn't get a deep breath of air so I could relax, racing thoughts..., horrible!  Then started doing strange things in sleep (eating, no recollections of having done certain things).  Quit taking Ambien per doc's recommendation but now I can only sleep 2-3 hours a night.  Have tried herbal supplements with no luck.  Think I'm going to try Ambien again. Maybe 5mg at bedtime, and another 5mg when I wake up accompanied with a Xanax.  Hope it works!"


"I smoked for 28 years and I have a very addictive personality. I thought I'd never be able to quit smoking. It took me longer than what is suggested in the info pack for Champix, but now I am smoke free!  It is truly a miracle. I have suffered with many of the side effects ranging from vivid dreams, nausea, increased frequency of migraine headaches, acne, eczema, dry skin, tiredness, to increased anxiety and significant weight gain. However, everything that I've had to go through as far as side effects have been worth it to say I'm smoke free and I know it will improve as I go back off of the medication. Good luck to anyone reading this who is still trying to quit. You can do it!!"


"For as far back as I could remember I always had issues going to bathroom. constipation. Bloating. Straining just for "pellets". I tried numerous over the counter products from powder forms to pills and they Did not work  at all and caused more severe bloating  and cramps. I found out I have colonic intertia. I had the strongest dose prescribed to me of the linzess and found that if I take it on an empty stomach 30 min before I eat dinner after I'm done eating id say 30 min to an hour I'll feel  some pressure but no pain and know it's time to head to the bathroom and it cleans me out. I usually have maybe 2 small bathroom trips after and then I'm good for the nite. I usually take it twice a week not everyday or as needed to go to bathroom."


"Have to use this just to get through the day. Thankful for it though."


"1mg during a panic attack is good with minor dopiness felt. 0.5mg if panic is on-setting and to keep it at bay."


"For everyone out there who is freaking out, scared to be pregnant, I FEEL YOU. After a little mishap with the boyfriend, I was super paranoid about buying the pill so ended up taking it about 68 hours after the initial incident (He didn't cum but we were scared). I was super anxious about if it would still effective but, 6 days after taking the pill, my period came! Thank god! My tracking system even said I was ovulating at the time which added to my worries, but my period did come about 4 days early thanks to Plan B. I also experienced very few symptoms, just a little bit of fatigue and acne. So for all the girls out there waiting, I don't know what your schedule is like but IT WILL COME!!! I can't tell you not worry but please try!"


"I started Champix on the 10 Jan 2017 didn't think it would work, by day ten I have stopped smoking.  The first tablets made me feel very sick - it was better with food. I have not missed smoking.  To everyone who wants to stop or if your finding it hard to quit - keep going you will do it."


"This drug has worked very fast in reducing high blood pressure. I was on lisinopril but developed hives, swollen lips and tongue so doctor switched me to Norvasc. I seem to still have occasional hives but not as severe and may be triggered by heat. AZ this time of year is quite hot."


"Sinemet works great for my restless legs syndrome, even better than the drugs more popularly prescribed. It is absolutely the one medication I cannot live without!"


"I was diagnosed in 2005.
Started out Rebif on 2007 then I had many symptoms when I was on it, less sensation in my tongue, hands, feet  and also vertigo. I changed the interferon to another type which I take more often but still same as interferon not sure about the name was horrible too then changed to avonix it was the worst I stopped all since 2011 and never had any symptom since then but I will search and start something."


"this is my first day taking it, but i am calm and focused, just like i always imagined normal people are. 10 stars!"

"I have been on this birth control for 3 months. I started using it because I had horrible PMS and menstrual cycles. The first 2 months were difficult to get through. I had a period every 2 weeks along with all the PMS/menstrual symptoms I was trying to get away from. After finishing up my 3rd month I have not had any bleeding at all.  During the 3rd month I have had mild side effects such as bloating, headache, nausea and increased appetite. I am hoping these side effects will go away the longer I am on the pill. I would much rather deal with the symptoms caused by the pill then deal with the issues I had when I was not on it. Warning, it is very expensive."


"The only medicine that works on my bronchitis I've tried others and suffered more. For me it starts working in 2 days. No side effects for me just relief. I love it. But I really need to quit smoking. I wouldn't get it so often, get it at least 2 times a year."


"Ok so I'm over 230 lbs and was super worried that Plan B would not be effective (as I had unprotected sex and he came inside of me around the time I was suppose to be most fertile) Just got my period!  Hope this helps anyone who might be as worried as I was because of weight issues and pill effectiveness.  I've taken this 3 times now and it's never failed me."


"I've taking this for 3 months and slowly stopped.  Bottom line, it has helped me get my life back together.  But it is NOT a miracle drug.  This isn't something you pop under your tounge and get cured.  The first time I started on this medication I truly believed and tried to convince myself that I was going to be fine just taking this alone.  Bottom line, I relapsed twice.  You need a support network and people that you can relate to.  For me this medication and NA saved my life. If you are a parent, please be supportive and convince your son or daughter to make meetings%u2026 but more importantly, DO IT WITH LOVE."


"For me it works pretty good but not perfect . It surely makes my Psoriasis better , but it will not really disappear totally . I'd say it takes away 75% of Everything , but when you stop with Otezla , it all comes back worse than ever .

But a combination of Dervovat and Otezla works great for me .

Here in sweden we pay a maximum of 220 USD/Year for drugs . Then it`s free :-) . Since Otezla costs 750 USD/ Month here , I'm thankful for that ."


"I have been taking bactrim now for about a week n a half for a uti, and mrsa. I am sure it's workin because the kidney pain has subsided however the nausea is so crucial it's like the worst nausea I've ever had in my life. Not to mention headache and chills. Ugh I don't know if it's worth it"


"I have always suffered from having heavy periods, I have tried nuvaring a nothing happened I tried an iud and it slipped out during the first month. I went back to my dr, and she suggested seasonique but a generic brand.. I did and it worked for one month. Then I started to bleed heavier than I have ever bled before. I can't go out of the house for long periods of time because my flow is so heavy now I leak through a super tampon and an overnight pad  I have been this way for 15 days and my dr. Said I just have to wait it out. Iam not going to do that I stopped taking the pills and iam hoping this flow will slow down and stop sometime soon. I do not recommend this pill at all."


"I'm only 26 but was at the low normal range and exhibiting every symptom of low testosterone. It runs in my family on my father's side unfortunately.

Within a week of taking it all of my mood returned to normal,  I'm no longer sleeping more than 7 hours and feeling well rested. I have a ton more self control and can easily diet and exercise. It gave me my life back basically.

Only side effect I have is raging a lot but it's manageable, especially since I have a punching bag here."


"I took Levaquin and think it should be banned.  I went to bed and had horrible racing thoughts...a terrible terrible experience.   My Dr. insisted I come to office when I called in the morning.
I would have liked to rate it as 0 but I had to select and the only option was 1.    I will never take this family of drugs."


"I am a 31 year old female with Rheumatic Valvular disease. I recently had my joints become achy and inflamed to the point where I'd spend most days in pain and was unable to go back to work for the last few months. Was only suggested Krill oil(which I still have not tried yet) and panadol initially. My GP then suggested mobic. I am on the generic version Moxicam and it took about a week to come right but most of my aches in my joints are gone. Still a little rusty now and then but over all really happy with the outcome. I take one 15mg tablet every night after dinner and have been on it for almost a month. Side effects not applicable as my weight fluctuates and I get cramps and headaches regardless of meds."


"I have been on this for about 6 months now after being on desagestoral and constant bleeding. Seem to be on 26-28 day cycle and bleeding lasts between 4 and 6 days but 2 weeks after I get another period. My mood is often low on this pill and I often feel weepy. The cycle is doing my head in now and I'm terrified there's something wrong with me. Want to just stop but scared I'll always be this messed up. Anyone else experienced this? I'm 38."


"So let me start by saying that I'm writing this as someone who I wish I had before I got my skyla. I went to get it today. I have been through a considerable amount of pain in my life. I've been kicked by horses. I've drowned and was found and said  to be "dead" but was resuscitated. I've gotten 5 concussions and dislocated my shoulder been bucked off horses. I've felt pain. Just about nothing compared to the pain of having this stupid piece of plastic   put in my body. If u have friend u love or family wanting to get this IUD simply forbid them. I'm not saying this to scare u. I'm saying this because I want to help u. It's such a joke that birth control is this painful. And that people don't warn u as much as they should. I was screaming"


"Lamictal has been a life saver for me. I gained 20 lbs on Abilify. I experienced horrible side effects from Geodon--I thought my legs would run away from me.  I cried all day on Wellbutrin.  Nothing seemed to work.  After slowly increasing the dosage on Lamictal, I started feeling better.  I got out of bed.  After about 2 months, I'm back to normal, no tears, sleeping only 8 or 9 hours instead of 12, going to yoga 5 times a week instead of watching Law and Order SVU reruns.  I'm back to "normal" whatever that means.  I am also on Topamax and Pristiq.  Great cocktail for me."


"I took it for several days expecting pain relief but it didn't do anything. My doctor told me I have osteoarthritis my pain is so bad that I literally cannot do anything, except lying down on my belly. I stop taking Meloxicam because was useless for my pain and it makes my stomach upset.I did better with Tylenol and homeopathic pills."


"I used Locoid Lipocream for the first time under my eyes and it worked wonders. I then used it on my bald head and it
is immediately improving by 100%.  I recommend it highly."


"Let me tell you this the best medication I had for obesity, I started 2 month ago on 9/12/2017. 278 lbs 36 years old today 11/13/2017. I lost 11 lbs a month a total of 22 lbs ,side effects 1st 3 days I was sleepy, then heart burn for a week then it is all gone, I don't feel hungry at all , I eat less of what I usually eat, not too strict, I used to take it at bedtime origInally, now iI take it 1st thing in the morning, I think it is better this way.
Luckily my insurance covered it.
I almost gave up on it because of the heart burn for a week.
The only thing helped during that week was the pepto bismol tablets."


"I've been on Generess Fe now for over two years, and I am switching to a different birth control. The main reason I'm switching is because my sex drive is virtually non-existent, and my Dr. said that is because the Generess levels you out (because it is super low in estrogen), so you don't get the "highs" you would get with some other BC pills or without BC. Also, it is not covered by most insurance because it is a chewable (I've paid about $25/mo, which is not as fun as free). And I feel like it gives me uncontrollable breakouts -- I also looked into this and a lack of estrogen causes your skin to produce more oil, which causes breakouts. On the plus side, I haven't had a period in over a year!

Time to switch for me."


"I've been on it for 10 days, and have gained 5 pounds. I feel that my appetite has decreased, but I've experienced dizziness and fatigue. I'm disappointed, as I really want this to work. I'm happy, though,  for all those who have been successful!"


"Used it twice a day for several months and it did nothing to help reduce the redness or bumps. It cost 80$ as well, and that was with 80 percent covered."


"My 5 year old son was diagnosed yesterday with influenza. When his fever reached almost 104 I took him to urgent care. He got his first dose only at midnight, but I could see a big difference today. Yesterday he was all lethargic and his high grade fever kept coming back every 4 hours. Today his fever was lower and so far, for the last 7 hours, he is fever free! I think this medicine really works if given early enough (my son got it within  30 hours of symptom onset)."


"My son is 9 years old and was "officially diagnosed" a year ago.  He was on Focalin for 2 months, than started Concerta 18mg for 6 months.  The Concerta was going great however, he developed odd behaviors like making noises and zoning out.  He started Intuniv a month ago.  His blood pressure dropped really low which attributed to him being very tired.  We gave it to him at night and he still woke up groggy and very sleepy.  Throughout school he was dazed and tired.  He didn't find anything to laugh about and seemed out of it.  During the third week (the 3mg dosage) his therapist took him off.  Within 3 days he was laughing and having getting back to normal.  I heard great things about Intuniv and wish all of you the best of luck."


"I've recently gone off Lortab after 3 years and have started taking Ultram. Initially I was worried about the side affects and with Lortab withdrawl. I have gone through withdrawal on hydrocodone. It is not good. Ultram helped get through it. (I have bursitis and a frozen shoulder). Well this medicine works far better for my shoulder and back and over all pain, everyone can tell the diffence in me. I too can't be without it. They are now talking about surgery next month. So we will see."


"I have only used this once so I am not sure about ongoing side effects, but it is absolutely amazing stuff. It made my skin red-free and I felt like I was looking at my face for the first time. It lasted for the evening, then I washed it off. My skin became blotchy and stung a little bit, but this morning it is at its normal redness and not worse. I've been trying cures/remedies for rosacea since I was 19 - I'm so relieved right now, although a little bit wary because I still don't feel like something this good can be true. Looking forward to using it again today! "


"I've only been on this medication for about 2 weeks. That said, I've slept almost every day since starting it. I know sleepiness is a common side effect but this is excessive. Almost no energy throughout the day. Nonstop yawning. My depression is still there, anxiety has been better. I just feel very drained and apathetic. I'll stick with it for a while longer because I know it will take a while for the full affect to kick in. hoping for good results!"


"I am using the 3 day Combo pack of the suppositories and cream. I was able to go about a week not knowing what was going on. I finally went to the doctor who said to try the 7.  I'd like to say that the area was raw, but not from itching/ irritating it myself. I believe many are having issues with burning because of that. I took a shower, laid on my bed inserted the suppository, put on "granny panties" and a light pantyliner and laid there and waited for the pain to start. NEVER happened. Around 30 minutes later I rolled over and went to bed. DID NOT put on the cream though just to not experience double burning. When i woke up in the morning I felt better down there and only had small amount of leakage.Try the suppositories instead of cream"


"I've had nexplanon for about a year. I HATE IT. I've had trouble sleeping (too much sleeping) weight gain, constantly having "periods" and I've been Extremely moody.. I want it out but I've had the pill, shot and now this. It's NOT worth it. I just want to feel normal again."


"I see so many people here rating this medicine as a lifesaver, and especially thankful because it allows them to play with their kids. Its the same for me. I still have a very low quality of life and spend a lot of time in bed, but without it I would barely be human."


"An amazing medication considering the earlier antiphsycotics available, I think its more expensive that could effect availability.  I do suffer from shaky hands but its the only side effect noticed.I take 20mg at night, it doesn't make me sleepy, no weight gain or hangover effect. Don't increase the dose it doesn't help it just gives restless legs and I was informed a dangerous to increase"


"This medication is excellent for suppressing my cravings, for opioids! Unfortunately I cannot stay on them for more than a month due to the horrible side affects. I literally would not, sleep more than 1-2 hours a night, therefore causing hallucinations after 4 days.  No bowel movement for a week at a time, and even then, would have to drink magnesium citrate. My legs would swell so bad, my lower back would hurt and put on 10-15lbs of water. Severely agitated and depressed."


"I had a love/hate relationship with the implanon. I had it for 2 years but had to have it removed because I couldn't handle the side effects anymore. Totally does the job of preventing you from getting pregnant and loved not having to remember taking it but OMG! The first year was great I didn't get my period at all but the second one was horrible. I would get my period for months and had to wear a tampon everyday. It gave me mood swings and I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster, not to mention the 25lbs I gained :(  Just had it removed and I already feel much better."


"Hello, I decided to share my experience because I know how it feels to be so scared and stressed. I had unprotected sex twice in a day on 6th of November. Next day I found out that my ovulation was on the 5th of November. I was about to die. I was searching through internet and I found out about the morning after pill. I wasn't sure if it was available for me because I'm only 18.  3 days after I went to get the morning after pill to boots and I felt so much better. Today I'm so happy because I got my period on time! I'm still shocked because I thought I'm pregnant. Ellaone works and I recommend it because it's just amazing!!"


"I am not sure how many months I have been on this medication, but while I have been on it I have managed to gain almost 10 pounds. I do not feel like I over-eat either. The weight just seems to pile on.  I feel incredibly sleepy during the day.  So much so that on most days I take a long nap.  I have very little energy. My stomach seems to bloat out more. Otherwise I seem to be doing just fine, both mentally and physically.  So if you don't mind being fat, lazy, and lifeless; but not crazy; this might just be the drug for you!"


"I've been using Climara-pro for 2 weeks (2 patches) and this morning I used the third patch. Yet the symptoms persist and I still suffer greatly from hot flashes and night sweats."


"When I first started taking the medicine I experienced diarrhea as expected. My nausea began to get worse. I thought I would give it a chance and ride out the side effects. They started getting worse, I am four months into this. I have been very sick because of this medicine, I went 3 days without being able to hold a meal down without vomiting. I have lost 15 pounds since starting. This medicine reacted badly with me, the bad outweighs the bad for me. I hope no one else has to go through this."


"I am 56 years old and have been diagnosed with severe emphysema. Up until 3 days ago I was at the point that inhalers were not doing much good at all and I was overusing them and having heart palpitations and the only thing that helped was my nebulizer. But even that did not produce great results and I felt limited in everything that I did. I was fearful to take my grandchild anywhere by myself and quite frankly was fearful of going alone anywhere due to my breathing. My pulmonologist put me on this medicine 3 days ago and what a huge difference it made in my breathing. I have not had to do breathing treatments or inhalers from the time of my first dose.  This medicine has been a huge blessing and life changing for me also."


"A very good medication. Works extremely well for a variety of problems. "


"Abreva did not work and I believe caused them to spread on my lower lip. I have 6 different sores on my whole bottom lip in different stages. I'm 33 and I don't normally use abreva but I'm out of town so I bought it in a pinch. I've never experienced this spreading before in this degree. I will never use abreva again."


"I'm on my 3rd day. My mood seems to have mellowed out a bit. I'm not as moody as I normally am. I don't have the itchy skin but I have been experiencing a bit of nausea. This is my first time being on antidepressants and I really hope this gets me out of the funk I've been in the last 6 months. I got a 3 week sample supply and haven't submitted my prescription yet to see if insurance will cover what my physician describes it as "the designer antidepressant"."


"When I experienced lipodystrophy on the insulin pump, my endocrinologist prescribed Toujeo pens for my basal insulin and Humalog pens for my mealtime and correction doses of insulin.

I have always been somewhat brittle but on the toujeo, I was even more brittle.  My doseage of 16 units of Toujeo was too low but an increase of only one unit of one unit per day caused extremely low blood sugars.  In fact in my almost 40 years of Type 1 Diabetes, the lowest blood glucose readings I ever experienced (25 mg/dl) was while on Toujeo.

I am not a medical professional but I would not recommend Toujeo to anyone."


"I never write reviews but for this drug I feel like I have to! I have tried so many drugs, herbal supplements, chiropractor, massage, acupuncture etc. have been hospitalized before for my migraines, and at some periods had them everyday.  I thought if this is the reality of my life being in pain everyday, what is the point? This is the only drug which works and has almost no side effects except for at first a dry, nasty tasting mouth which has gone away for the most part.  It took a couple days to kick in and I'm on a very low dose of 10 mg which I take at night.  It's been almost a week pain free! I feel like a new person and it finally feels like the miracle I've been looking for, so don't give up!"


"Horrible side effects."


"I have been on invega 3mg for almost 2 weeks. Immedietly I felt great. I take it at night. But for the first few days I felt drugged till about 11am. I get up at 6am. Take it around 7-8pm. But for the early part of the day I felt awesome. Totally at peace. Never felt better. However after a week. I feel that it's not helping. I don't go to sleep till like midnight now. And I am not stable anymore. I think I may need a higher dosage. I have made a couple apt this week but they where cancelled due to them closing for weather and a emergency. But my mania is out of control. I have bad outburst. Do things I know I shouldn't. It's like I can't stop it. Do I need a stronger dose. I was suppose to come back in a week."


"I have suffered with constipation for years after having a major surgery. The pain would be in my lower back and made it difficult for me to stand particularly in the early morning. I have been taking over the counter acidophilus pills (3) times a day with meals and I don't experience the excruciating pain anymore. I carry my pills in purse. I highly recommend these tablets."


"I've had Nexplanon for over a year now and I love it! I haven't had a single period and my cramps are gone. Along with constant migraines. I would recommend this birth control to anyone. It's so much easier than taking the pill every day."


"I have been on Microgestin for 4 months now and I hate it. I have not found a birth control yet that doesn't screw up my period which I use to be able to count on every 30th or so of the month. This is my 3rd birth control. Mood swings, depression, sadness, lower sex drive, increase appetite and oh yeah a whole lot of bleeding. My period is completely out of wack. I tried to skip ONE period. Well it worked. But then out of no where I bled for 19 days straight (not light bleeding either). I don't know what to do! My body hates birth control.  My mom said that it was like that for her as well. Not sure what to try next."


"Still have pain and I itch all day and night."


"I began taking Accutane at the end of seventh grade. I finished in November of eighth grade. My face is completely clear. Accutane works miracles!"


"The only confirmation I have that it works is my blood work. I feel no better or worse on Synthroid. It is very annoying to take. You have to take it in the morning, on an empty stomach, no food for an hour. And for some, no calcium for two hours. Tell me how do you eat breakfast with this medicine!? It does work though, so I gave it an 8."


"Background on my skin: combination skin type, had acne since I hit puberty (I am now 17), mild acne but always scarred

I started Epiduo & took the solodyn pill after I visited my dermatologist after spring break (end of March) . I read reviews that it took a while to start working so I waited and waited for my skin to finally clear up. It is now the end of July and my skin has never been clearer! Although it did take a lot longer than many people have said it took them, it is so worth it. I also think my problem was that during the school year I would take a shower then put epiduo on before I went to bed, while my hair was still wet, so when I feel asleep it may have washed some of the epiduo off. All in all I am very happy now though!!!"


"I got an IUD because I have migraines and am unable to take estrogen. I personally believe that this is by far the best type of birth control out there because you don't have to think about it at all and can do anything with it. I am 20, 5ft 105lbs and I believed the insertion was very hard and painful. The measurement is the worst part and the insertion feels like a bad cramp but doesn't last long. What's hard is the very intense cramps I consistently got for 7 weeks along with the constant spotting. The only issues I have with it is my periods are now longer and lighter, almost spotty and this is very annoying. I get very bad cramps from it to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night."


"I have been dealing with Hyperhidrosis (underarms) since middle school and I have tried EVERY SINGLE over the counter product for excessive sweating. My doctor prescribed me Hypercare and from first use I LOVE IT. I have not broken a sweat since first use! I am so relieved."


"Started Bydureon last night for the first time.  I put lidocaine cream on my stomach where I was going to inject.  After a few false starts, I injected quickly and had to check to see if needle was actually in.  I felt nothing when it went in.  Medicine did burn a little when it went it and burned afterwards for several minutes.  Nothing that was too bad.  I did rub the area after it went in to try to prevent the knots.  I also put on sea bands about an hour before the shot, planning to wear them for 48 hours.  Some GI issues, but not sure if related to shot or not.  Overall, not a bad experience so far, knock wood."


"I've been bloated as of late and decided to take not 1, not 2 but 3 tablets thinking, "hm, why not?" And that was one of the worst decisions of my 24 years of existence. The party didn't start until 8 hours in when I woke up feeling nauseous. I decided to take some nauzene and suck it up and drive the 30 minutes to work. Little did I know that a short 2 hours later, the real fun would begin. It started as cramping, like my insides were on fire. I tried ginger ale but alas, it failed me for the first time ever. I scurried to the facilities where I seriously thought I would meet my end. The cramping, bloating and unimaginable diarrhea was not in the least bit appreciated. But, I had to give it 5 stars because it did "technically" do its job."


"First of all let me start by saying I am extremely excited of the possibility of losing weight, but it just has not happened  as of yet. I started Belviq a week ago and yes, I have exercised but I gained three pounds. I can't say it was totally me or the medicine so, I am going to watch everything closer this week. I took my students on a trip so we were walking up hill, down hill and on flat land for at least 10 hours a day. I hit well over 30,000 steps a day. The kicker is we also ate 3x a day for five days. I tried to modify my lunch by eating salads and smoothies only, but dinners were usually a little unhealthy with things like: pasta,fried chicken , pizza, etc... I did eat it although I tried to eat smaller portions.  Help!!!"


"I've had moderate plaque psoriasis for 20 years and have done every topical steroid under the sun, which usually worked about 25-50% in the short term but then lost effectiveness.  UV light was about 50% effective but did nothing for my scalp, which is always bad and very itchy.  I resisted Humira for nearly 2 yrs  because of fear of side effects and greater risk of infection.  I have had three shots now and am probably 85% clear.  You can see slightly discolored areas of skin but there are no more plaques.  I noticed some improvement honestly within 3 days of my first double shot.  I haven't noticed any side effects yet and hope my luck holds and I hope I can continue to afford it, because the cost after 2 months is going up."


"For me, these are wonderful - IF I don't have to drive anywhere, or work. I've been on every other cough suppression & this definitely works the best for coughing fits! They also give me a "sedated" feeling, but not to the point where I need to go to sleep."


"Savella gave me my life back!! I was diagnosed in 1999 during junior year of high school and I am now 30 years old and able to start living my life again. I am now holding down a part time job, returning to school full time in a medical technology program and reconnecting with friends. I have a life again, I have a future again thanks to this medication!"


"I've found this medication to be helpful in calming down the sharp pains I feel throughout my body. I notice that at the site of my initial injury (foot), I still have constant pain, but the pain has decreased. I also notice that if I'm stressed the medication seems to not work as well so I don't know if I need the dosage increased, but there is a major difference in how much pain I feel. I do not like the side effects, but which would I rather have - sharp pains or side effects? For me they're headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, odd stomach upsets initially after taking the medication, unfocused attention, euphoria, and that "high" feeling. I don't get all of these side effects each time I take it but it can be any of them."


"I am a 64 year old male. I stopped taking this drug (along with Glimepiride) after only 8 days because I was experiencing constant exhaustion and shortness of breath. Walking up the steps caused me to pant and have to sit and rest. I wanted to sleep all the time. I never took a sugar reading during the 8 days I was taking it, so it may very well have worked to lower my sugar. I just couldn't live with the side effects, and felt better within hours of stopping taking it (and Glimepiride). I will go back to my doctor after the holiday to try something else."


"Nexplanon is definitely effective in the sense that I can't have sex anymore. I got it early November 2014, bled daily till December then was absolutely fine... No spotting or anything.  Up until late July where I have bled  non stop pretty much every day. Sometimes a light bleed, and sometimes heavy. Due to this I am unable to even attempt sex, which is getting me pretty down. Gonna give it another few weeks and go to my GP. If nothing changes I will be going back to condoms as the pill wasn't my thing."


"I have been on Lutera for a good 5 months, it was suppose to be good for my acne but has made my acne worse. It has caused me to become VERY irritated, but the reason I am switching is because it has caused heavy breakthrough bleeding, which is quite frustrating! I have been on 5 other birth control pills in the last 8 years, and never experienced this before. Besides the breakthrough bleeding, it has made my actual period A LOT shorter, it only lasts about 1-3 days, but I get it about every 2 weeks instead of my usual 29 day cycle."


"I took it two weeks n lost TEN POUNDS"


"Unbelievable is all I can say! I could not have doubted this more, but after suffering night after night with horrendous back pain, I sat up at 3am searching the internet for some herb or vitamin I had dismissed the 100 other times I had sat up on the night in pain. I thought it sounded ridiculous, but no more so than anything else I had tried. I started with 1200mg and have remained on that and I feel better than I have in years. I urge you to try this. It has changed my life!"


"This is THE BEST birth control I have taken so far. I get no serious side effects, does not decrease my sex drive or make me dry, I get no cramps, no weight gain. Just pregnancy protection. I have gone back and forth from Sprintec to the Depo Provera shot and let me just say that for me this was better. On the Depo Provera I had almost no sex drive and was completely dry when having sex. I was eating like crazy and I just felt so lazy. I'm really glad I'm back on Sprintec."


"Worst Acne Breakouts!!! I started this birth control a month ago and my face started breaking out the first week. At first, I didn't really think it was the birth control until weeks later when the acne got even worse. I contacted my doctor and haven't used the birth control for over a week now and my face is still breaking out. Hopefully my face will begin to clear up in a couple of weeks, once the birth control is completely out of my system."


"This medicine saved my life. I lost 35 pounds and it was the easiest and fastest way I ever lost weight in my whole life. My friends and family were amazed and everyone would always tell me how absolutely amazing I look, and I feel like a new person. I have never been happier."


"Good medicine for bipolar and getting your life back."


"...If I could give this a zero, I would. I started taking Sprintec when I was 18, and I took it religiously-never missed a day. It switched to Previfem when I was 22, I think. The long and short of this review is, now I have a two month old baby. Remember that "never missed a day" thing? Yeah, that continued well into my unknown pregnancy... As did my period. I took note of feeling like garbage, gaining weight around my stomach, not being able to handle smells I had always been around and figured I might as well take a test, and it came out positive. By the time it was confirmed, I had already been pregnant for three months, which is too late to terminate if you or the baby's health is not in jeopardy. So yeah, not that great for me."


"I've been on topomax for 6 weeks now along with walking at least 2 to 3 miles a day sometimes skipping a day or two depending on the weather I'm 40lbs down. Appetite gone, smoothies are enough for me and no snacks. No side effects by the way. 50mg twice daily"


"Had the Mirena inserted 2yrs ago, 3mths after having my daughter via c-section. I had a monthly period still. I had cramping every now and then, like sharp pinching feeling. My IUD checks seem that it was in the right place just a bit lower in the cervix. I've had pregnancy symptoms this last month. I even missed my period. Well I went to the hospital the other day since I was having contractions. I wasn't pregnant, but my contractions were strong enough that it was pushing the Mirena out. The doctor examined me and said it would have came out within a couple weeks. It was very low. "


"In 3 days, I felt better. Titrated to 40mg. The medicine turned evil. My heart pounding with strong palpitations.  As I was falling asleep, had feeling of leaving my body & hovering over myself being awake in a horrifying world that seemed absolutely real. Sleep paralysis. Dr. added beta-blocker for heart. Gained 21lbs in 6wks. Decided to stop it. Dr. said go from 40-20. I couldn't do that suddenly-I needed to go down slowly.  I went from 40-30mg. Night terrors lessened. Went to 25, then 20. Felt good at 20; heart calmed down for a few days. Thought I'd stay at 20 but then the evil again. 18, 15, 10, 5, 3mg. It's taken over a month to come off it. 1st day without it. Feel down & edgy. Started Wellbutrin.  "


"I've had a sweating problem since the 4th grade. I am currently going to be a Freshman in high school. Everyone always asked me why my armpits are so wet, I was completely embarrassed. Finally, we asked the doctor and she recommended Hypercare. I started using it, but I didn't listen to the instructions and used my regular deodorant; mistake. It wasn't working and I was discouraged that I wouldn't ever stop sweating. Then, I stopped using my regular deodorant and right now, I'm dry. I totally recommend Hypercare, amazing!"


"I take Lorazepam 1mg for social anxiety and Cerebral Palsy. It works really good for me. It really helps muscle spasm I have. It has really helped me a lot!"


"Honestly this medication is amazing. The only draw back is that some Dr.'s don't want to prescribe it because it is a controlled substance. I feel so normal when I take this. I deal with heavy anxiety. My panic attacks are an everyday battle. From the heart attack feeling, sweaty palms, closed throat, difficulty breathing, feeling like I'm dying and unable to work, drive, or get out of my bed this medication has given me my life back. I have 3 small children to care for and they need me! I am a much calmer mother. I have anger issues too. This medication helped me deal with my infuriating anxiety. I was so sick of feeling doomed and I hated feeling so weak. I have been on it for 6 Years. No complaints."


"I started my journey on 7/29/2017.  Unfortunately I am very limited to my exercise routine due to a car accident. I changed the way I eat and I try to eat healthier and smaller portions. I so far am down 6 lbs.  I am hoping I keep losing. With the discount card it's free no copay for me."

"Well took Silenor 3 mg twice over the past 5 days and I have to say it works well. I noticed a difference in the quality of sleep. I feel very well rested the next day. Will keep it handy when I'm having problems sleeping through the night."


"I think this experience would come under "Anxiety" but it may not.  My wife of 55 years died 3 months ago and to help with the grief the Dr. gave me Diazapam (Vallium) 5mgs to be taken 3 time a day for 28 days. This did seem to help calm me down but it didn't help to control the weeping not the deep seated feeling of lonliness. Now I don't take it regularly but when I start feeling really depressed about my situation  and loss, I can take a 10mgs pill which appears to soothe the bad memories away to some extent. Regrettably it hasn't helped with my sleep problem yet.  Prior to my wife passing away to a better place, I was able to drop off to sleep almost immediately when I climbed into bed, no it takes 3 hours before sleep eventually comes."


"It's kept me to where I cannot have kids which is a good thing. Sex drive is still as usual. The weird part is I don't get periods anymore. Which has caused me to fear I was pregnant, but otherwise it's fine. I have symptoms of menapause, but I am an 18 year old girl so I can't have it just yet my guess is the side effects?"


"I have been prescribed to take the metronidazole gel for 5 days. Day 1 was okay but as soon as day 2 hit, i had terrible stomach cramps and bloating. Day 4 came and I felt completely ill. Bad Chest pain, nausea, stomach ache, cramping, fatigue, sweaty, anxiety, irritable, runny nose, bad cough, sore throat AND back pain. As you can tell, it all felt like hell. I spent one night crying because it was so bad. I read up on it and a lot of people seem to have the same. I guess its like you got to walk through hell to get to the better side. I had my period while taking this, so far, i have no idea if it helped with the BV. Hopefully im good. Never am i taking this again! Everyone reacts differently, lucky me, i just got the worse end. Good luck"


"Luckily my skin never "purged" with this product and just cleared it up! I was prescribed birth control and ziana for my acne and never even had to start birth control because of the effectiveness of the gel. I haven't had problems with over drying with the exception of a sunburn that made me peel, just make sure to always wear face sunscreen! It's worked wonders for my skin!"


"I am 34 years old.  and originally started this for Depression & anxiety. Panic attacks I started this medication when I  was 20 years old. Yes I have been on it that long!! This medication is severely addictive - it should be banned. I feel dt's so so hard 2 get off. I have tried so many times. I get brain zaps, sweats, panic attacks, hot flushes, dizziness, paranoia, tiredness, anger  to be honest first couple years I felt was a miracle drug as I was confined to my bedroom at home. Once started taking this it did help me to move into my own place.  Over years I have tried to get off it. And in that process I get so down it's that bad. I be so paranoid can't have kids around me. Thank god my Dr now helping me and I now take buspirone. And slowly coming of paroxetine. Feel have better support now."


"Stop reading into birth control so much ! Everyone is different and it is all about trial and error based on your needs, your body, you. I am 23 years old and have never tried birth control pills. My hormones were off and I was getting hormonal breakouts around my chin along with abnormal menstrual cycle. I was skeptical about starting to use the pill because I want a natural period and I feel like my body will respond the way it needs to without meds, but sometimes you need help getting back on track after stress, etc.I have noticed a huge change the first two weeks I was just emotional but that was expected. I cried for silly reasons but laughed it off. Overall it is doing its job. I feel better all around."


"PROS: What I love about Falmina: I have no cramps, no spotting between periods, no heavy bleeding. Only 3 days of very light bleeding. last day I only wear a pantie liner.

CON: As I was reading AS36 experience, I thought I was reading my own. Gained about 20lbs in less than 6 months while taking the Falmina. From a size 2-4 to 6, bra size 34B to 38D (hubby loves it).  I've become very anxious and depressed. I got so crazy and suicidal, I had to see a Psy. he put me on depression meds (which maybe contribute to my weight gain).

I remember that I experienced the emotional/mental issues while taking Yaz, that's why I checked drugs.com. And bingo..."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I am a new user with Pradaxa and have found the same digestive problems, severe acid reflux and heartburn. Also I have had bleeding ulcers twice so I'm a bit concerned about that. However checked with my Doctor who told me to take pill after meals. I tried this, but also discovered the pills must be taken IMMEDIATELY after eating food (not snacks but full meals). I also use Ranitidine with the Pradaxa and found it works. Much more comfort, almost no heartburn, just a slight sensation. I haven't had an INT test so at the moment I don't know if my coagulation levels are okay. But I will do that soon. Overall I feel that using this new medicine I feel better, so I hope this will continue, its a bit early to make the final judgment."


"I've tried other drugs to treat my anxiety and depression with no luck. With gabapentin I'm able to function more normally. Gabapentin works for me where other drugs did not.

For me it also improves my ability to multitask. I can concentrate and zone in on the task at hand.

A welcome side effect is that smoking while the gabapentin is active makes me sick... I'm trying to use that as a way to quit. Also I occasionally lose balance and get the munchies, similar to cannabis.

Please hear me... if you need help and have tried other drugs without help, try gabapentin. I still suffer but it provides me with the ability to function. It may also work for you."


"I'm in the navy and it was very hard fighting my sleep for the first 5 years of being in I finally got a sleep study an they diagnosed me with narcolepsy. I don't really like taking medication for anything but my doctor introduced me to Provigil. I finally feel like a normal person, although the first month I had very bad headaches it slowly went away and I went from taking 1 100mg pill a day to 2 100mg pills. My body got used to it within the first 2mths. Overall I love this medicine. works pretty good for me."


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


"I've read a lot of the other reviews because I have been having trouble with anger and frustration and it is over little things that shouldn't normally bother me so I wondered if it was micronor. I have been taking it for three months now. It's the first pill I have used for contraception, and like a lot of other women here, I was recommended this one because I have a history of migraines. My periods haven't stopped and aren't any heavier. I don't get cramps much any more. So that's a bonus. No visible weight gain and no bad skin. The only thing I really noticed is breast tenderness for the first month pretty much constantly but it wasn't unmanageable. I think give it time, it's affects change over time"


"Upon diagnosis, my Doctor ordered a genotype testing to see if I have a certain gene type called HLA-B*5701. While waiting for the result, I researched online to compare Triumeq and Genvoya. My Doctor doesn't feel comfortable with Cobicistat as he worries about drug interactions. I, on the other hand, dislike the potential "gastrointestinal adverse reaction, lactic acid poisoning/acidosis, liver damage and cardiovascular damage" associated with Abacavir, which were denounced by my Doctor as "nonsense". Furthermore, I have trouble sleeping and am yet to fully quit (now so determined to quit more than ever) smoking, I insisted on taking Genvoya and presented to my Doctor with 10 reasons. He didn't object in the end."


"I Have been on this medication for 7 weeks along with doing the slim plate program. I exercise at the gym 3 days a week and my off days I walk a mile. This is not a miracle drug as with any weight loss you have to watch your food intake. I weighted 164 pounds 7 weeks ago,and I'm at 147 now. It has helped a great deal with controlling my appetite.  I have tried it all,but this is working and I'm feeling much healthier."


"I knew I always was ADHD, but I found that this medicine really helped to stabilize my mood. I used to be grouchy all the time, now I feel more laid back. I also suffer from Ulnar Neuropathy, and it seems to really help with the pain! So far I enjoy this medicine. I'm a little concerned it might directly affect my short-term memory though."


"My husband started using Spiriva last Wednesday. He was breathing easier but by Sunday, then he began having crushing tightness in his chest, difficulty breathing, pulse rates of 111, high blood pressure and chest pain. We took him to the ER because we thought he was having a heart attack. It turned out to be a severe allergic reaction to Spiriva. He won't be using it anymore. He also had dry mouth and difficulty urinating which are also side effects."


"34 male, athletic in great shape. Have dealt with minor to serious erectile dysfunction for a few years now.  Doc says my testosterone is excellent for my age and thinks the erectile dysfunction is mostly psychological.  Anyways, he gave me 10 x 20mg samples to try out. And boy am I glad he did.  What a night! Never in my life even in my teens have I had so much fun in the bedroom! Took 1 x 20mg pill after a hot shower and a couple beers. Straight to couch to "watch a movie". "


"I have had memory problems for several years. I have been on the same medication for mental issues at least 2 years.  I received my 1st shot of Stelara and it has been 3 weeks ago. I just wondered if this medication has been tested for other uses besides psoriasis? My memory is slowly coming back to me. And I would like to know if this could be due to Stelara? I Love this change in me and I think it's from the Stelara not to mention my psoriasis is great- in the week all my white scales went away.  Thanks"


"I've just hit the 1 year mark on taking this and I have to say it's been a positive experience. Before taking this I hadn't had a period for over 10 months. During my first month, on the exact day it was supposed to start, I finally got my period. Since then, my periods have only gotten lighter and lighter. Now I spot for 1 maybe 2 days a month on the white/brown colored pills. The only other times I spot are if I'm careless about taking it at the same time every day. I have noticed a decrease in migraines (I didn't get them that often, but still), slight increase in breast size, no weight change, and not really any change in acne. The only downside is that I'm a little more emotional about silly things I wouldn't normally be."


"I've had it about 2 months now, and my experience has been great! The injection was not pleasant, not going to lie. The numbing shot they gave me did nothing, but it was conpletely covered by my Aetna insurance so it was free. I got it during my period, and my period finished out, then I had extremely light spotting for about a month and a half. I do get headaches sometimes, but they're not unbearable, go away with painkillers, and I can't tell if it's from hormones or something else. But either way, I have had no side effects otherwise and it's been great! One thing I noticed is if you are on the lighter/smaller side, you will probably have less side effects. I am 5' 2" and 110 lbs. Plus, you forget it's there!"


"I've been taking Adipex for about 3 weeks now and I"ll tell you I have more energy and my appetite has decreased dramatically. I am able to stay on my 1400 calorie a day diet without any hunger pangs.  I don't know how much weight I've lost yet, but my co-workers say they see it.  I just know I'm not going to stop until I reach my goal of 200 lbs by my 50th birthday...January, 2009. I started out weighing 276 lbs."


"I had the Mirena inserted in 2011.I loved it! I stop having my period almost immediately.  No cramps! I just got it replace. Pain is tolerable  . I took Ibuprofen an hour before. It helped tremendously.  I'm slightly bleeding. But not like a period! Just spots."


"I was on this drug for a month. I am one of those people who hate being on medication (prefer natural alternatives)--but my doctor strongly recommended me to give it a shot. I felt different instantly. My body would feel "numb" I guess that's the best way to describe it. I was feeling very very down the first two weeks. My temper was short, I got angry at everything, and I was worse than I was before starting the medication. I had absolutely no sex drive at all. The medication was taking a toll on my marriage. Ever since I stopped it, I feel amazing. Sticking to yoga and meditation!! Glad it works for some people though!"


"I sincerely hope you are reading this BEFORE buying, because it will definitely help. First of all, I probably waited too long to buy this medicine, which is why I had the experience I did. Nevertheless, if you have a fan, YOU WILL NEED IT. About 30 minutes after I inserted the ovule, I felt a slight burning sensation that gradually increased to the point I couldn't stand it. I wanted to jump into a tub of ice water. I wanted to scream. Then I spotted my fan sitting on the floor across the room.

I plugged it in, spread my legs, and felt immediately relief. Now, it's been about 2 hours & though the burning sensation is there, it is COMPLETELY bearable. Much better than before. I don't know what I would have done without this fan."


"I've been on the pill for 6 years. I no longer get my period. When I get off to give my body a break I get my period for 3 days light. I do experience headaches when stressed and excessive discharge as a side effect. My blood pressure is always a little higher than normal.  I love the pill and recommend it."


"Awesome medicine. I was so depressed I thought I'd have to be shipped off to an assisted living facility due to my gross inability to care for myself. I am back to work, and clear minded, and don't feel as crazy as I once did. I am grateful for this medicine."


"Deeply depressed for 7 months after a manic period of 7 months.  Would come home from work and just go to bed and stay there for 14 hours until it was time to go to work again.  Taking Bupropion in the AM without effect in increasing doses for all 7 months.  After titrating up the Lamictal through the increasing doses as required, the fog lifted 3 days after I started on the 200mg dose.  Thank you modern medicine"


"I have had a toenail fungus for 10  years on 1 big toenail. I finally decided to try the generic Lamisil after refusing to take it from hearing about possible liver damage. After taking it for 2 weeks I developed an itchy, red, bumpy rash on my back, chest, and neck. I am now using a prescription steroid cream on my skin for the next 2 weeks to help with this rash! I guess there's no hope in getting rid of this fungus. My dermatologist said to try Vick's Vaporub everyday 2x day to see if that helps..."


"Taking Cipro made me almost sicker than the bout of pain.  I couldn't function, slept most of every day.  Developed thrush, heavily coated tongue. Staggering when walking, off balance at times, thinking process was not normal, crying jags for no reason.  This drug in the class of quinolones causes CNS problems.  I will never take another in that class.  Diarrhea was continuing days after the 10 day course was done.  Read Cipro can actually cause C. difficile and Immodium can aggravate that!  It's been one month since I started the ten day course of Cipro and still having side effects of CNS."


"If i could rate this a zero, I would. I have suffered with painful periods since seventh grade and finally went on the pill two months ago. I have had near perfect skin my entire life and my skin is so terrible now that even my mother who is the type to say it's not the bad is extremely concerned. My breasts are also extremely sore and I have been spotting so bad that I have to wear a pad, not even a pantie liner. My doctor is not even telling me to stick out the next month, I switching pills next week at the start of my next period. Do not do this to yourself, especially if you have clear skin to start with."


"Started taking amlodipine 5 mg with indapamide once a day. I had terrible side effects with both medications.  Amlodipine caused hives, heart palpitations, swelling and weight gain. However, I have to admit that the combination of both pills was effective in bringing my blood pressure down in 2 weeks.  I just couldn't tolerate the side effects. Doctor changed script to 180mg Diltiazem CD.  Hopefully this will work."


"I am a 70 year old married man.  I started on Rapaflo 2 months ago.  It seems to have reduced my urination trips at night from about 4 to 1 or 2.  I can still have an orgasm, but I have to focus harder, and the subsequent ejaculation is dry.  Something I have never experienced before.  It does seem to be very expensive, at $142 for a 30 day supply"


"This is the only pain medication I have taken that helps with my menstrual pain. This includes back pain, cramping, headaches, and pain in my hip. By alleviating the pain it also helps alleviate the nausea caused by the pain. With that being said, I have never had a negative side effect while using this medication."


"I was prescribed Creon after my 4th bout of pancreatitis. It is crazy expensive! I sought out a G.I. doc for alternatives that I could afford and also called Caremark for information. Neither had any substitutes that weren't just as expensive. I quit alcohol 8 years ago. I have severe chronic pain after 7 lumbar surgeries. I am being treated with Fentanyl & Norco (and/or Dilaudid). I attribute my pancreatitis in large part to pain medications. I researched supplements and found Hi-Vegi-Lip. It helps pancreatic pain within 2-3 days, although I continue it for 2 to 4 weeks to help rest my pancreas. It is an amazing product with my only side effect being constipation, so I take OTC Colace. I only take Hi-Vegi-Lip as stated above, not continually."


"It worked for around 20 minutes to settle me but otherwise was ineffective, it was a sedative too, needed more and more as tolerance came on thick and fast."


"I have been on Zoloft for quite a few years. I absolutely love it, except for recently (the last few months) I have been getting headaches if I miss a couple. Otherwise, I've had no other side effects and it has helped with the suicidal thoughts. It's helped me gain perspective and think about my feelings instead of just automatically feeling down."


"So I got the copper coil fitted on the 22nd of May 2017 just a few days ago I am 25 and haven't had any kids I decided to get a copper because my body doesn't agree with hormones I must say insertion was the most painful experience of my life I nearly passed out but I didn't take any painkillers or get my cervix softened before hand after that I was okay it's been three days now and I've only had slight cramping and n some brownish spotting I suffer severe GAD so was paranoid in getting this but it's my only option I hope it all goes well for me no my body agrees with it will post back on a update in a few weeks I haven't had sex with my partner yet and my period is due so see what happens fingers crossed this works out okay"


"Was give flowmax on Monday to help with frequent trips to bathroom.
On Tuesday my tooth started hurting so I went to the Dentist only to be sent home with hope that it will just go away. The pain got worse and so intense that Thursday I went back to the Dentist who said he could see no reason for the pain so sent me to a specialist dentist 100 miles from my house.  I had xrays hot and cold treatments and was sent home with more pain pills.
I ONLY TOOK  TWO FLOMAX PILLS, ONE MONDAY AND ONE TUESDAY .
ON THE DRIVE HOME MY PAIN STARTED TO GO AWAY .

I CALLED THE DR THAT GAVE ME THE FLOMAX HE SAID STOP CAN CAUSE TOOTH PAIN."


"I JUST STARTED TAKING SUBOXONE YESTERDAY AND I AM NOT FEELING AS BAD AS I WAS FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS - GOING FROM 200MG METHADONE A DAY TO NONE.  I AM ONLY TAKING 1  SUBOXONE TABLET A DAY.  I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS MEDICATION WILL HELP ME LIKE IT HAS HELPED Y ou ALL."


"I have been taking Victoza now for about a month. I'm a relatively newly diagnosed diabetic. I found out two months ago. I was on 1000mg Metformin twice a day. Even on the Metformin my sugars would be 280-400. Even waking up in the morning fasting I would be in the 240-270 range. So in our first checkup my doctor suggested Victoza. Holy crap. What a difference. On the first day with only the .6 dose I had my first sugar below 200. I have had no negative side effects at all. I ramped up to the max dose in the first week because I was feeling great. I still have no negative side effects. My appetite is significantly reduced. Post meal sugars in the 120-140 range. 90 or less in the AM. Love this med!!!!"


"I got the shock of my life when I had blood work done and my sugar read in the 8.0 range. I received a call from the ER telling me I had to come in immediately for an insulin shot. I almost ran there. I went on Glipizide 5 mg., taken twice a day. I was not happy. I knew my weight had a lot to do with it, so I went on a diet. I went from 180 to 100 pounds. My doctor also put me on Metformin. All that did was make me vomit. Today, I control my sugar levels by diet alone. My doctor asks me about every six months if I would be willing to go back on the Metformin. "No thanks. Vomiting is not my favorite activity. Today I am able to keep my A1c around 6.0-6.1. If I can do it so can you. Lose the weight."


"My son was prescribed  this medication due to an ear infection. After about 3 days on it his whole body was covered in hives. He had huge welts from head to toe. He was 2 at the time. He was given steroids to help bring down the hives and his feet swelled  like balloons. He was on the steroids for 2 days before his feet swelled.  I do not recommend this antibiotic for younger kids. Very bad experience. Please stay away at all costs."


"Seems to be clearing up the skin pretty fast so far, but it does burn. Anyway, I can deal with that, as long as it clears up the skin."


"Knowing I am very reluctant to pill taking in general, my doctor pushed Actonel on me saying ''now don't give it up after a few months !"
I persevered for 10 months. I used to be very active, exercising everyday, talking long walks, realizing I have aged 10 years in those ten months. I did some research on the net and understood where my problems came from. Aching everywhere, stiff, tired ... I stopped."


"I have now been on Nuvigil since mid July, 2010. My doctor was initially hesitant to prescribe it to me because he was of the opinion that I could just 'will away' my sleep disturbance. I have sleep apnea and shift work sleep disorder. He prescribed this begrudgingly as he figured all I needed was more self control. If that was all I needed, somewhere in the 20  years I was struggling with this, I should have had success. I tolerated his belittling because I needed his help. Starting on DAY 1, I began to tell a real difference with using Nuvigil. To me, it was a miracle medicine. I could finally stay awake in the daytime without feeling sleepy ALL THE TIME. Since starting this, I have had the energy to be highly productive everyday ever since."


"I'm 23 years old, and started birth control on Ortho Tri Cyclen. I stopped for about a year or so then when I went back to the GYN, she put me on Ocella. I haven't ever had problems with my period, but it did lighten it up for me quite a bit. I've been on it for about 2 years - and it has just recently brought me from a 5 day period to a 3 day period. I was a bit surprised, but I don't mind at all! I have never detected any differences on and off birth control - except it's easier to pin point when things will happen throughout the month. I usually get a very mild acne break out right before, as well as some cramps which don't last very long. I have occasional emotional breakdowns, but they are so rare that I don't really contribute it to Ocella"


"I have suffered with migraines my entire life, both with and without auras.  Migraines leave me having to close myself off from the world and try desperately to find a semi-comfortable spot so that I can lay down long enough to hopefully fall asleep through part of my usual 12-18 hour migraine.  Since being prescribed Relpax, I am finally free!  Once I feel a migraine coming on, I take one 40mg Relpax pill and, within 10 minutes, can actually feel it working and the pain subsiding.  Within a half hour, the pain is completely gone!  Only once or twice did I need to take more than 1 pill but that was because I waited too long to take it and it works better the sooner it's taken.  It's improved my life!"


"Best stuff ever !

I've been stressed out lately and not sleeping well at all . Toss , turn , uncomfortable at times . I tried a Unisom Gel Cap - it didn't do a thing .

These little BLUE PILLS work . I took the entire pill and rested to say that I slept soundly for 8+ hours !

Highly recommend !!!!"


"I am a long time (near 25 years) Paxil user. Some of your new users need to give it a chance before making an assessment. I had some of those side effects early on-they were no big deal and they all went away over time. Bottom line, I suffered from lifelong severe depression-Paxil literally stopped me from taking my own life. On Anxiety, the result has not been as positive, but perhaps I need to increase my dosage? I'll talk to my physician on that. If you're mainly depressed I heartily endorse Paxil, it reduces depression with minimal side effects. It's a wonder drug in my book!"


"It's been 2 months and overall my experience has been positive.No period or spotting just a few acne break outs here and there.No weight gain or crazy appetite.I barely eat and i don't habe mood swings . It was sore for.a few weeks but now its not noticeable at all ..love it will do.it against if removal goes smoothly."


"Thankfully my pain management doctor has found a combination of medications that has given me some relief from my chronic pain and I can have a better quality of life."


"Recently, my ear drum ruptured during my sleep.  Actually, the pain awakened me first.  Although I am leaning towards my severe TMJ for causing the rupture, I am still uncertain as to exactly why.  I saw my physician the following morning and was prescribed Amoxicilln 875mg, twice per day.  I was also prescribed antibiotic and steroid ear drops. This was 3 days ago. I also have severe acne caused by folliculitis.  Embarrassingly, I also have scabs where I will scrape the hair with my nail.  I use Tazorac Cream for it, but this has always made it worse. Much to my surprise, I am overjoyed to see how much better my skin already looks. It's like night and day. Almost completely clear after years of dealing with this. Amazing."

"The medicine works wonders on controlling my hot flashes.  It is easy to use but will only stay on for about 5 days.  I apply to clean dry skin and take one shower a day.  I don't sit in a tub of water or go swimming. This is the only negative thing besides the price.  I have to pay for my medicine but it is worth the dollars, not having constant hot flashes."


"On it for over two years. Sugar from 300 to normal within three months. So far I think it is a miracle drug. Feel good over all and I am able to eat normal foods."


"I started taking Wellbutrin because of a Vitamin D deficiency and Seasonal Affective Disorder. It was like night and day. It took about 2-3 weeks but I was no longer having crying sessions or getting angry over nothing. A Vitamin D supplement had side effects so I had to quit taking it. I now take a multiple vitamin."


"I've been on Hydrocodone 10/325 for almost a year now and it works great! I suffer from chronic sciatica pain caused by L4-L5 disc. It dosen't get rid of the pain completely but it makes it more tolerable."

"Every prenatal has gotten me so sick I couldn't take, but this prenatal, I don't get sick, no after taste, nothing. The gel like.coating makes it easier to swallow and it's just so simple and easy. No pain, no problem!"


"I have very serious flare ups of TMJD from time to time. I was originally diagnosed years ago when it was chronic. These days when I wake up with a really bad flare up I can't even close my jaw the muscles are so inflamed. I cannot get my teeth to meet up on that side it's so bad. A small amount of Valium (2.5mg) combined with 20 min of jaw relaxation exercises and positioning exercises help with the pain.... like really help a lot. I still won't be able to close my jaw for a day or two but the pain reduces significantly. A word of warning, use Valium only when absolutely needed and I've found that less is more. Taking it daily or in higher doses and you will lose its value due to tolerance. It's a tool in the toolbox not a magic fix."


"My mother has been taking Namenda for Alzheimer's for over a year now.  She was first prescribed Aricept which made her more anxious/hyperactive & no noticeable positive impact.  After 2 weeks of Namenda, there was noticeable improvement in her cognitive abilities.  In fact, the light bulb finally went off & she realized she had Alzheimer's.  She spent the next several days on the phone breaking the news to family and friends, who had known for over 2 years by that time.  My opinion:  Namenda keeps her in 2013 - in the present.  Her logic, reasoning, problem-solving skills, short term memory, comprehension and communication skills are impaired from the disease, but she recognizes this and acknowledges her feelings of confusion."


"I have suffered from impetigo a yellow brown crusting severe type of cold sore ever since I was a child. I get them when the seasons change or when I'm a little stressed out, or even just because the humidity in my house changes. It really sucks most of the time and I have went to my doctor and have gotten a prescription for antibiotic cream and even pills for impetigo. But they have never worked as effective as abreva has. If you want your cold sore to just go straight to the scabbing stage after it occurs then use abreva. It's only been the second day and it's already pretty much gone."


"I started taking it after my weight got up to 303 pounds. I'm 6'4" and have put on about 50 pounds over the past 10 years. I have taken it for two months and am down to 287 pounds. It took about two weeks to notice a difference in appetite but once it kicked in it really kicked in. The only side effect is ocassionally feeling nauseous but it doesn't bother me."


"My son was on this drug for about 4 months and the worst things happened.  He went from mild acne to the worst acne one can imagine.  It was horrible huge cystic acne.  We went to the doctor month after months with disgust in how bad his face got.  Eventually I pulled the plug and brought him to another doctor who agreed after showing him pictures that this drug was detrimentally ruining his skin.  He switched him to clarvis and within a couple of weeks it was clearing up.  My son's self esteem was detrimentally affected along with his skin. He will now need to have some type of resurfacing done to get his skin back.  We have pictures to prove what this did to his skin!!"


"Worked like magic for my Mom. She can now move around without pain and do the things she coundn't do before."


"I  saw a difference in about 2 days I tried everything under the sun this drug is awesome so far"


"I purchased this tube in 2014 and it worked, come 11/2015 I felt the tingling and put this on immediately in the morning when I noticed everytime I noticed the ointment penetrated my lip so about 6x through out the day. I will never use this again because it made it worse; the bottom half of my is completely swollen. I thought maybe it expired but not till 8/2016. I think the expiration time is wrong. I should've just stuck my old lemon and salt method it would've been gone in 2 days. Never re purchasing. Waste of $18"


"I have severe Gastroparesis at as very young age as a male. I have exhausted every single option other than surgery and nothing seemed to be working. My doctor recommended Marinol. At the time I did not know what the drug consisted of. He told me and I accepted it over the experimental surgeries they wanted to perform as the only other option. I began taking the medication for increasing my appetite, nausea, vomiting, and the pains associated with Gastroparesis. It has worked wonders for me and it doesn't have the same severe side effects like Phenergan, Reglan, Domperidone, etc,etc"


"I was first given this product while traveling in the Philippines. The pharmacist recommended Bactroban to treat a mild skin infection on my foot which I got from wearing flip flops too long in wet, sandy conditions. The area cleared up in less than two days.

It has been in my medicine cabinet ever since."


"I've had horrific acne since I was about 14. I constantly piled on make-up and make-up and probably made it worse. When I hit 18 it got really bad, and my freshman year of college my life revolved around finding the right foundation. I finally gave in and went on birth control. I noticed it cleared up a little here and there but never really completely. I stayed on it for the other benefits and after six or seven months I looked in the mirror and noticed my acne had all but vanished. I had not changed my diet, if anything it had gotten worse. I swear it's this pill. I know waiting sucks, but rather 7 months than a few more years. Just start now. What's to loose?"


"I was prescribed Zuboxone but my insurance covered Zubsolv instead. From the first time I felt tremors and told my Dr. He prescribed increasing the dosage and it got worse. It felt like I was trembling from my core along with anxiety. I just was switched to buprenorphine alone and can't believe how much improved I am. I wouldn't recommend Zubsolv."


"There is nothing more scarier than that first few seconds when your seizure starts and nobody is around. Tegretol has saved my life! I am so thankful my doc put me on these tablets 200mg three times a day and I'm happily seizure free."


"-- Initial ramp up weeks made me sleepy and very "cloudy". Good luck if you manage a team at work or have a detailed oriented job.
-- The "best" period lasted for a couple of months. Sleeping was normal and I felt pretty "clear-headed". However, it made my emotions "neutral" to almost everything. Like a cardboard cut-out of the real me. No laughing at jokes. No "natural" sense of urgency when the situation called for one.
-- Then the side-effects really kicked in. I would get dizzy when standing up. Then dizzy just sitting up in bed. I recall I read something about it can mess with your blood pressure. The "gray cardboard cutout" feeling got much stronger, plus I could not easily carry on a conversation during meetings."


"Been suffering from ETD for about two years. I've been on Singulair for about 4 months and it has dramatically improved my symptoms, no more ear crackling. Occasional tiredness and headache but it's tolerable. It has helped me tremendously."


"I have a very sensitive body.  I ended up in the hospital after 2 weeks of using Ortho Tri Cyclen and was very scared of going back on any birth control pill.  However, I'm on my second month of using Lo Loesterin Fe and so far it's been great!  The only side effects I've experienced thus far are breast tenderness, bloating of my breasts, and very little mood swings.  Other than that I haven't had any other problems.  Furthermore, I haven't gained any weight nor experienced any nausea.  My sex drive has shot up the roof rather than decreasing.  Must say, overall this pill has been great compared to other pills I've used!"


"Getting up in the morning and walking around is a lot less challenging since I started Remicade in June 2008. Before Remicade, I'd have to sit down in my tripod stool after just crossing the street due to extreme fatigue. Now I can walk to the grocery and back."


"It worked well. My symptoms went away for the most part after about 3 days. Side effects weren't too bad. Mild upset stomach and abdominal pain. Today is the last day of my prescription. While I'm also just starting birth control at the same time there is still some spotting but I've been informed that it should clear up with in the next few days."


"I have always been 110-112 lbs, and then after starting Jolessa, almost immediate weight gain of 7-8 lbs even though I am still just as active and eat very healthy.  My sex drive is non-existent now since these awful pills.  The only reason I went on them in the first place is to get my period every 3 months.  Well it took me at least 7 months for that to happen bc the first few months I still got my period every single month and the spotting lasted for weeks at a time.  I also have no patience anymore and can easily snap when this would have been totally out of character for me.  I am switching back to my previous birth control this month finally."


"I am in shock as to the MIRACLE of Olanzipine. A 2 year severe depression, with extreme anxiety, insomnia, and paranoia DISAPEARED the first week on this medicine. Before, my depression was so bad, I stopped brushing my hair, I could barely function, my sadness so profound. After 1 week on Zyprexa, I am finally back to myself, taking good care of myself, sadness is 90% gone, smiling again!"


"I started Sprintec because my doctor recommended it after I decided to get on birth control after my miscarriage. 2 pills into my second week on them I started my period. It lasted for 12 days, with at least 8 of them being fairly heavy. I have also experienced almost constant spotting since starting it. Tomorrow I start the second week of my second pack, and I've been spotting for 2 days. If things don't even themselves out soon, I'm switching meds. I'm tired of the bleeding affecting my sex life. I got on Sprintec to prevent pregnancy, not sex. I honestly believe just using condoms would be a better experience!"


"Hello everyone,

I'm your typical 18 year old lad and have never written on a forum before but I want to write something for the people that are worried about taking this (in my opinion) miracle drug. I am coming to the end of my 6 month course and I can honestly say it's been life changing.

Before I started Roaccutane, I was fairly depressed and seriously lacking confidence due to my appearance. But after months of failed treatments on various antibiotics, I was referred to a dermatologist who instantly said there's only one way to fix my acne problem, Roaccutane. At first I thought this is the worst case scenario and I'm going to be even more depressed as a result of the possible mental health side affects. Depression has run in my family so I was very worried. However, living like with acne wasn't something I was prepared to do, so I started the course on 40mg a day.

The first week I had a headache daily, but thankfully these die off after a week and paracetamol and ibuprofen will take all the pain away. Almost immediately, my lips were cracking and from then on in, I never went anywhere without some Carmex lip balm in my pocket.

As the first 3 months went by, I was still breaking out and was starting to think it isn't going to work. However, I'm so glad I stuck with it because now I haven't got a single spot of my face and the scars have faded to the point where you can barely see them! After the third month, my derm upped my dose and I started to take 60mg a day.

Luckily for me I hadn't had any serious side affects. Just your occasional nose bleed and dry skin, and sometimes my eyes were a bit blurry but it's not much of an issue.

Anyway, I just want anyone reading this that is worried about starting this medication, that not everyone has a horror story about Roaccutane and I couldn't be happier at how it's made me feel!!

Don't let acne take over your life!:)"


"I started the pills in August  of 2015 first 2 weeks with a very strick diet plan and no exercise I lost 15 pounds now as of February 2016 I lost total of 45 pounds I don't want to lose anymore I only keep taking them to keep the weight off but I kinda eat what I want now THEY REALLY WORK....only downfall COTTON MOUTH....."


"I have been on exemestane for 7 months and stopped because of the severe joint pain, especially when 1st getting up from a sitting position or getting out of bed. Been off for about a month and I'm still experiencing symptoms. "


"Great."


"Worked well for me!
My period has pretty much always been regular and I've always kept track so I know what's going on.  Last month, the first day was the 3rd, condom broke on the 16th.  Perfect timing for ovulation!  Took Plan B about 20 hours later on the 17th.
From what I read online I was expecting all sorts of side effects but I guess I got lucky.  I had some breast tenderness for about two days, that was it.
Got my period today, the 2nd.
Considering my fertility record of 100%, (we tried to get pregnant three times at the exact same time in my cycle and did each time), I would say the pill really does work!
And a very big thank you to the makers!"


"I got Liletta inserted on November the second. I cramped, but I was fine. I have two kids, I got pregnant while on Skyla. I thought to give this a try, since it has a higher hormone amount. I have been on my period now for 4.5 weeks, its been relatively light. Nothing crazy at all, and no cramping. But now its even more blood.

My husband and I have had sex, ( he could care less about getting me pregnant or not) So far, I'm not pregnant. So I guess its doing its job. But I haven't had acne, no weight gain, no change in skin... Just this dang long period. But Ill give myself a longer time to see how it does."


"I have been on this birth control for 6-7 months now and it does what it's supposed to do. The first month met me with with severe, painful cramping for 48 hours straight with no relief, and I definitely had breakthrough bleeding in the first 2 months or so. After that, things have generally been smooth sailing, my period has been getting lighter and shorter in duration every cycle since then. No significant changes in mood or (facial) acne... though this cycle I have started getting acne on my back and butt which I never have experienced before. Sex drive has decreased, and haven't been able to get "wet" since the first month or so. But I still have been having plenty of sex regardless and am not pregnant, so it's doing it's job."


"I have been taking this as needed for a year now. I was experiencing bad vertigo and ended up having a brain tumor. 2 surgeries and 3 hospitalizations later I still experience some vertigo and vision issues. I take 25 mg as needed and it helps tremendously! It does make you drowsy, but after using it for awhile that side effect does subside. I have had no other side effects from it, I find it very calming and it also helps with mild nausea which typically accompanies the vertigo."


"Biggest waste of $100 I ever spent. This medication made me SO hungry 24/7 I would eat everything in front of me all day! I felt like I was on a strong steroid and it even got to the point I would toss and turn all night still hungry. I tried it for 18 days straight thinking it took a little while to become effective and gained 6lbs before I stopped. I also spoke with 2 other people who tried it (1 of them a doctor) and they both had the same experience. Wish I could get my money back"


"I just got the paragard inserted today. I am 28 and just had my first child 5 months ago. I was very nervous after reading some reviews but I hate taking birth control with hormones..so this is a great option. It hurt a little more than a pap, nothing unbearable. It only took him less than 5 minutes to insert it. They just use the speculum and swab the cervix with some stuff to clean it first and then insert it. He wanted me to be on my period to get it in..Im not positive of the reason but I'm thinking its so your cervix is more open? As of now its great, but waiting to get my next period to see if its heavier like some reviews ive read. Overall happy :)"


"This was my 2nd colonoscopy. 1st 10 yrs ago. Prep was a piece of cake back then. Used Movi-prep this time & it was horrible. Too much liquid for a petite woman, bloated like a dead fish & did not work that well. Horrible taste!!  Never using this one again. Glad it is "behind" me now!!"


"Zyprexa helped with my obsessive compulsive disorder. It also relieved the depression greatly. Weight gain is a bad side effect from this medicine (taking 10mg daily). Gained 16 pounds in 2 months. The nights are better, just longer (around 11 hours every night)."


"My doctor scheduled me to get Mirena today and wanted to read the reviews I've used Norplant way back in 1993-1998. Hated it so nothing in my arms and no depo. Pill I tried wasn't working for what I needed. Since I smoke I can't use many pills. Hoping it works out for me. I'll update after its in."


"I started feeling deep hot bone pain about 3 month ago and got worse and worse. My boyfriend  took me to a Rheumatologist.  All she did was touch my body at certain points.  I said "Oh, that feels good" and right away she knew it was fibromyalgia.   My dosage has been raised 3 times and now taking 800mg 3x a day.  Then I read it cause weight gain (gasp).  I wish I didn't read that part but overall today the fog is lifting and I have little pain here and there but I take Subutex for that.  I am also on dextroamphetamine  for the chronic fatigue and helps a lot.  Besides I've been diagnosed with ADHD."


"Got the Nexplanon at the end of November 2013. Got my cycle in December it was light and minor cramps. I did start to see that I didn't have a lot of energy, didn't want to do much of anything but stuff my face and stay in bed and I was a little bit moody. I didn't get my cycle for a month and a half then got it at the end of Feb. Had it for a week then stopped but spotted then period came back for another week and still had some spotting and now I still have it. Its about 10 days. I got the Nexplanon due to having bad cramps, I feel nothing which is amazing. Now, my skin is clearer, I don't have mood swings anymore. I do have energy and I have been eating everything in sight (for me is good because I'm slender)."


"Really dried up my congestion, but made me very sleepy"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"DO NOT SWITCH! If you already takin Stribild like I was than FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT SWITCH! DO NOT RISK IT! i was diagnosed last year started on Striblid luckily with minimal side effects! everything was going well except for my back spasms which is no biggie compaired to what I experienced with this new pill About a month ago my Dr. Suggested I switch I decided to go ahead since this is suppoused to be a lighter version of Stribild and just as effective well turned out its not! At least not for me! Not sure if it has to do with ethnicity or age but this new pill made me remember what it feels like to be in laying on a death bed! I felt like I was back in square one I really did give it a chance but it just wasn't for me."


"This pill caused me to feel like I was PMSing all the time 24-7. Even when things were going great I was depressed ALL THE TIME. I didn't know why but finally figured out it was the medicine after about 2 weeks of taking it the symptoms are just not worth it. Plus it caused my acne to come back and get dry skin, no matter how much lotion I used and what I used."


"Works as well as Zyrtec but non-drowzy.  I take Xyzal in the morning and Zyrtec in the evening for chronic idiopathic urticaria with angioedema."


"I was prescribed Cymbalta for sciatic nerve pain in my lower back. I had severe pain down my left leg, surges of heat in my left foot and numbness down the leftside of my lower body. I was in physical therapy, which helped, but I couldn't make it through an 8 hour workday without leaving in pain.

My neurologist prescribed Cymbalta and said that it might also help with my bouts of depression and anxiety.

I started on 30mg and upped to 60mg to increase the effect. I've never been happier and now I can live a normal life. I will get some sciatic nerve pain at night still.

I do get terrible night sweats. I also get "brain zaps" occasionally (search the web for that one). I'm concerned about getting off the drug as I've read horror stories."


"I never needed Viagra until I was 63 but then I started having trouble keeping an erection. I started taking 20 mg pill a few months ago and feel like I am as strong as when I was 30. Hard to judge when to take pill though because young wife sometimes is just worn out from work. Doesn't matter though because it doesn't seem to get me hard with out some stimulation anyways. Other times even if I haven't taken a pill in a day or 2 I am still able to get my erection.  It is well worth much more. I have read about these guys going for an hour or more. At 63 that would give me a heart attack."


"This medication worked great for the situational issue I had been in but the withdrawl side effects that you're not told about were not worth it. I tried tapering off of it very SLOWLY 5 or 6 times and failed every time because the withdraw side effects were that terrible. I eventually got off of 100mg and it took about 2-3 months. I used a nail file to taper my doses with an astronomically high amount of B12 and Omega fish oils. I recommend seeing an Iridologist before going to a doctor for meds."


"Should have started with Adderall at first. My eight year old son is doing good."


"Took one capsule before going to bed for a week to help sleep (arthritis). Had a reaction of hypertension and tachycardia.  Stopped taking anything extra beside regular meds.  Took it again about a month later.  Had the same reaction, only much worse.  Ended up in the OR.  Realized what the cause was.  I have never taken anymore and condition has not returned after three months.  My doctors were not aware of this reaction from Tylenol until I found this site."


"I have been taking oxycodone, 15mg tabs, 4 times a day, for a couple of years, for severe joint, neck, & back pain.  My Doctor says this is the maximum dose for the drug.  I am a 300 pound, 5' 6'', 75 year old, male.  The medicine works at about 85% to 90% level, for about 4 hours for me.  I think I need to increase the dose to every 4 hours or 6 hours a day or move up to 20mg tablets."


"This combination of Hydrocodone/acetaminophen is the best at relieving pain. I have tried Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet, Vocoprofen, Vicodin HP and just about every different combination and Norco works the best by far. It relieves my pain in all parts of my body, and is also great for headaches, terrible back pain and abdominal cramping. This drug is much less addicting and has less episodes of nausea/vomiting."


"I am 15. I have been on Zoloft (25 mg) for over a month now. I was prescribed through my gastroenterologist for social anxiety and generalized anxiety which was causing ongoing digestive trouble. I have suffered through severe anxiety disorders and depression for most of my life. Since the first pill, I have cried only once. My overwhelming loneliness and hopelessness has gone away also. I haven't had any side effects that I've noticed. The only downside to this medicine is that it hasn't worked well for me in social situations when I am nervous. It does not prevent me from shaking, turning red, tensing up, etc. It might be necessary for me to move up to 50 mg, but that isn't urgent as of right now. I would recommend."


"Was prescribed lorazapam for anxiety, terrible head pressure, jaw pressure, throat pressure.  Nothing had worked previously  I had tried everything  magnesium, warm compress on area, breathing exercises, Advil, ibuprofen.  The lorazepam was the best"


"I hope that it is keeping me from having cancer with all the problems that it is causing.  I had stage 2 grade 2b breast cancer and had a mastectomy followed by 6 months of chemo and 6 weeks of daily radiation.  I really didn't have that much side affects from chemo and radiation.  But being on the Letrozole has been a pain.  the fatigue is getting to me.  I might as well go into hibernation for 5 years.  I sleep all the time.  It is very hard to focus on my job where I am a manager.  I have a lot of joint pain and I am trying glucomine juice.  Someone else told me about loins juice.  Does anyone have any ideas on what to do about the fatigue?  I take the pill at night, but I can not get out of bed in the morning."


"Not very effective against my case of acute bronchitis.  After 10 days, with little improvement, I was switched to Bactrim.  Will report on Bactrim's effectiveness after I have been on it for the prescribed time."


"I am almost done my second pack and I love this medication. I didn't get depressed or nausea like a lot of other reviews. I am seeing a little weight gain, however my breasts have started at a C and are now a D. I think I am switching off of this though simply due to cost per month."


"I got on the Nexplanon the same day I had my baby, Feb 9 2016, I have gained over 24 pounds, I just recently began having headaches almost everyday, my ankles swell up a lot, and i'm extra moody.  The great thing about this birth control is you don't get pregnant and its nothing you have to worry about.  I got the nexplanon right after I had my first baby and my side affects were extremely different.  I got depressed, I lost a lot of weight(which I loved), I had a lot of energy, but I had random 3 week long periods.  I don't really recommend any woman to get this but then again every woman is different."


"I have taken Uloric for about 2 years now and has done very well at controlling my gout.  I originally started with the 40mg pills but still had minor attacks about once a month.  My doctor increased my dosage to the 80mg and I no longer have attacks.  The price is way to high."


"I have been on the depo shot for a year now.. ITS AWESOME!! I don't have periods at all.. only spotted for a couple of week for the first month and a few days before my last shot.. my cramps aren't as bad as they were before I started the shot.. the only thing I notice I can relate to on the other women's post is my emotions are slightly unstable.. I want to cry about EVERYTHING!!! not to the point where its uncontrollable but just to things that should not make me wanna cry (radio commercials, funny tv shows, etc.) other then that I feel great! no weight gain, loss of sleep, or excessive bleeding.. I am very happy with bc!!"
