"Was on Alesse for 4 months but by the middle of the 4th month the breakthrough bleeding I would experience after the first week of the pills had not stopped. I would have my period for two weeks. In the first two months I experienced weight gain and a bit of nauseous and swelling of my breasts. However after about a week the nausea was gone and in the third month the no other side effects except bleeding were felt.   I scored it so low because of all the breakthrough bleeding. No other side effects though once it was more regular to my body. I'm 18 btw:)"


"I took the one pill 3 days ago and is still experiencing tiredness and no appetite. I was so sleepy and could not stay up while at work. I will not take the pill again.. The fact that I am still having the affect 3 days later speaks volumes and is not a good thing."


"I have been taking budesonide Entocort since Feb 1, 2011.  It was prescribed by my hepatologist for treatment of my autoimmune hepatitis.  Nothing else I have taken has worked effectively (prednisone gave me ocular migraines along with azathioprine (nausea).  Cellcept was tolerated but wasn't effective.  Prograf (for transplant patients) did not work either and I had too many side effect (ended up getting shingles).  I do have problems with dizziness but this is the only medicine that have brought my liver values down.  I have noticed red rashes that come and go.
Medicine is very expensive but fortunately my insurance covers the majority of it."


"Wonderful, very quick acting (like, two hours), so watch out for that.  Solves the problem when all else fails.  Expensive."


"Suprep worked great as far as doing it's job of cleaning my colon. However, 2 days later I developed serious diarrhea and have had it for 6 days. I've increased my soluble fiber, but it hasn't helped."


"I have been dealing with narcolepsy since 1992.  Nuvigil was introduced to me in 2014, wonder pill all the way.  Unfortunately with my insurance my out of pocket expense will run approximately $550 for a 30 day supply.  So tell me do I feed my family of 5 or buy medicine.  What a choice to have to make."


"i have been on this drug for two years, it has changed my life. i had depression with severe insomnia and mood swings, i now sleep well and feel i have a new lease of life. i didn't realise how bad i had been before going on this drug"


"Horrible form of birth control. With all of these negative side affects I do not understand how it is still on the market and why doctors don't warn their patients of this. I got the "ya it may cause irregular bleeding" and I figured a bit of spotting but NO!! it is ALL THE TIME. I got  the shot for the first time in Dec 2014, got the spotting and continued on for a second round hoping it would subside, but quite the opposite...it got worse! I was bleeding for three months straight. I ended the shots but decided to give it another go in sept 2015, with the same results if not worse. I didn't go back for the second round and it is now March 2016, and I am STILL BLEEDING....6 months later. This is the worst form of birth control ever"


"My doctor prescribed Voltaren after an extremely painful IUD insertion and subsequent cramping. I've never had cramps like these before. I'd literally be curled up in the fetal position, unable to even talk. Depending on the level of pain, this either completely eradicated it or made it totally bearable, and lasted for 12 hours at a stretch. Voltaren is wonderful and I'm glad my doctor recommended it over a narcotic painkiller."


"I had sex with my boyfriend a couple of weeks before I was predicted to start my period. After intercourse, we discovered that the condom had broken. Within an hour after, we went to the store and bought the Plan B pill. It was expensive, over $50 for just one pill. I experienced diarrhea, headaches, some spotting, and EXTREME mood swings. Of course when I started spotting before I started my period, I was freaking out because I thought that I was pregnant. But I found that spotting is one of the side effects. The day before my projected period start day, I STARTED MY PERIOD! I know it is close to impossible to not worry about this, but don't worry! I was doubtful that it worked, but it does! Sooner you take it, the better."


"The smell and taste is so foul that I gagged so much that I could not continue after two glasses.  Vomiting would have been next.  Had to cancel my colonoscopy."


"Two months on medication, down 17 pounds. Side effects were minor and transient. I still get hungry at mealtime but I have much more control over portion sizes and snacking, which is really what it takes. No intention of quitting any time soon"


"If you have Asthma and a chest cold, Combivent clears the mucus from your airways so you can breathe. I only gave it 9 out of 10 because it tastes AWFUL!"


"I just finished reading all these reviews about Lexapro, just prior I was reading all the reviews from people trying to get off Lexapro.. Crazy the things people go thru to get on this medication and then just as crazy the things you go thru to get off it. So what to do???? I have been on Lex for approx. 18 months my Dr put me on when there was a lot going on in my life and i told 'I had shopping cart rage" :)  among others issues. I too went thru all the crap in the beginning and felt just stick it out. I did and I survived and things seemed better. fast forward 18 months later I thought my life has calmed down and I wanted off the meds. I also have Ambien and Xanax that I take "as needed" which isn't often. I ask my Dr about getting off"


"This medicine works great. I went through a really bad breakout for the past 4 months all over my cheeks, chin and sometimes under my neck. Some cystic acne as well as rash like acne. I thought it was hormonal and went to the doc..all my hormone checks were normal. Went to the dermatologist he put me on doxy 100 MG and also  prescribed clindamycin...within a week the difference was very noticeable. I stopped the clindamycin  because it was drying my skin out. So now I use just a topical salicylic acid in the morning  and benzoyl peroxide sometime at night and my skin looks amazing. I've only been on it for a month.  Only thing left is the hyperpigmentation which hopefully will go away soon. Stick to it. It works."


"I tried everything yesterday to stop throwing up acid. I went from Nexium to Zantac to pepto to tums, nothing helped and it all just came back up an hour later. Thankfully my brother is a paramedic and told me about how they use benedryl for their nausea patients so I took 3 of the 25mg tablets and it worked!!"


"Severe itching, swelling and redness in hands and neck.  Immediate burning in esophagus and acid reflux symptoms."


"Went to the doctor complaining of anxiety.  Was waking up and not falling back asleep or even worse could not fall asleep.  Was also having anxiety attacks.

The last time this happened I was prescribed effexor which was a nightmare and Celexa which did nothing for me.  Ended up quitting my job and with time off I returned to normal.  Quitting my job this time is not a option so the doctor put me on Pristiq.  Noticed a  positive effect within 7 days and I have been on it for a month now.  This drug has worked absolute wonders for me.  I have had no side effects at all (and no sexual impotency)."


"I got the iud inserted May 2016 since then the acne has been horrible, cramping off and on all month. If I cramp there is sure to be bleeding or I will pass small pieces of tissue. I have no kids and I am seriously thinking about having it removed. Not happy at all!"


"Hi I started taking this medication 3 days ago. I have been running to the toilet a lot. It  takes all the oil out which was very disturbing for me in the start but now getting used 2 it. I weighed 93kg which it about 205 lbs. Dr has advised  me 2 come back in a month time and get my weight checked - lets hope for the best and will update u if it worked on me. Good luck 2 every1"


"I started the adipex 37.5 mg on March 10, 2015. I weighted in at 322  first thing in morning after using restroom. 5 days later..March 15,2015 I weighted in at 311.8. I am weighing out my food portions. And logging all calories and exercise in myfitnesspal.com  I have not started working out yet ...I will start the gym today. I got good advice if you bit it you write it ..to keep track. This has really helped me. On side effect. Dry mouth, constipation,  so have take Phillips milk of mag. Works great."


"I had strained pretty much my entire body making changes in an old chest.  My whole body seemed to hurt constantly and my hands were essentially unmoving and stiff.  With an on and off Dx of SLE, I went to a rheumatologist.  He injected once in the hip with Kenelog 40.  By the next day I felt as though I were a good 20 years younger, with no pain to speak of anywhere in my body.  My hands and feet were no longer swollen: ring size went from 9 to 8 and had to take up all shoe buckles at least one hole.  My hands had more flexibility and strength than I had had in years.  There were no negative side effects.  It's been 6 months and I continue with the flexibility, etc. that I had from the beginning.  This Kenalog 40 is great stuff!!"


"Honestly taking adderall has help me very much. I no longer fight with others and I'm not overly sensitive anymore. Ever since I have been taking it my grades have gone up. Just a month I went from failing everything to passing all my classes. For me I don't have any negative side effects except one. When I drive alone at night sometimes I think I see something on my passenger floor move and it freaks me out immensely, but thats rare. Overall I my symptoms leave and go."


"This gel has worked for me, but of course,everyone is different. It takes a few applications for it to work."


"Man, there's nothing to say about xanax that hasn't been said. It does its job like nothing else. Works perfectly, but because of that, it's super addictive to people prone to anxiety and stress. Because it's the magic pill that makes it go away! That said, my experience with it has been mostly good, as I have never gone above 2mg and i try to keep myself at 1mg daily. This is a literal life saver for someone with severe anxiety."


"I thought I was having frequent UTI's the majority of my life. I did everything I could think of to prevent and treat them. The summer of 2013 and multiple negative UTI tests, I was tested for IC and a test to see the size of my bladder. Turns out my bladder was VERY large for my size. I not only began taking Elmiron (two pills twice a day) but also had to retrain by bladder by "going" every two hours. After about two months I started to finally feel relief that I had been searching for for over 10 years. I have been on Elmiron for almost two years. I have dropped from 4 pills a day, down to 3, and now down 2 a day.  I stay away from lemon and very citrus/acidic foods. My goal is to be off Elmiron by the time I want kids. No side effects"


"Taking 2000mg a day with mild side effects.  Tremors in my hands when I first started and when the dose was increased.  Those have since stopped.  Also experience some sleep problems, but this could also be due to another medication.  My body responded very well to the medication and my condition has significantly improved in just a few months.  Hoping for continued success on the medication."


"After being diagnosed with PTSD, I was put on prazosin to help with horrible nightmares. I take a cocktail of other drugs which help with anxiety, hyper-alertness, and other symptoms. Even though I'm taking all this stuff I still have trouble sleeping and many times wake up punching, kicking and fighting. Prazosin has taken the edge off, though I still have really bazaar dreams. Plus, I recall everything. No side effects."


"I've been on alesse now for about 5 years and I'm going to switch pills. It's never helped with my acne nor my period pain and it's made me EXTREMELY irritable and very very moody and depressed. I went off it for a year and it I was instantly happier and my skin wasn't as bad and I had regular period pain. As far as being a contraceptive it's worked so far *knock* *knock* I would not recommend this if you are sensitive to medication."


"The medicine works great. Aside from an occasional burning at the injection site, I have experienced no side effects. The pen makes for a fast and simple delivery system, I love it."


"Once I added this medicine to the 2 other medicines I was taking ... my T-cell count went very high and my viral load went UNDETECTABLE..for first time ever. Even though it does take a little time to learn technique it was well worth it. Definitely recommend this medicine. No side effects at all from this medication either 5 years plus and still doing great on it. The other 2 medicines I am on are Videx EC and Isentress. In fact I was in the study for Merck for Isentress."


"I didn't want Implanon, my mom is a nurse and told me I should get it. HONESTLY, with me being a huge baby it wasn't that bad. It hurt for about a good week and a half. So I love it, I've had it for 6 months now, I love it. I really think this works 100% ..I love it."


"I've been on this medicine for five years and is the best pain relief for my knees and back. Still can't do much on this medicine but it takes away the pain. Lay down after taking for best results."


"I have been on Latuda 40mg for 3 weeks now. It has helped so much within this time frame. I was at my breaking point and didn't know what was wrong with me. I found out it was Post Partum depression (PPD). Since being on the medication, my ongoing thoughts of suicide, feeling depressed, foggy memory, unable to function, mood swings, crying all the time has stopped. I even started to not hibernate in my room and  I interact with my child and my newborn again. I feel like I'm getting my life back. I've tried prozac, but it didn't help my racing thoughts, and wanting to commit suicide. This does have side effects of course. I seem to get hot flashes, weight loss, and urge to move  my legs at night. Overall, this medication along with a support system works for PPD."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"having colonoscopy tomorrow. So started moviprep 3pm. I mixed it in advance early this morning so it's really cold also drinking through a straw . If your not good with dyrolight kind of meds then this is best bet I'm not good with the salty taste! So I cut a lemon into wedges bite a wedge keep juice in mouth and drink as much as u can from glass then have another bite lemon and repeat til glass is gone . Followed by something nice like lemonade"


"I read a bunch of reviews on this pill and It scared me at first! I heard a bunch of negative feed back on the side effects but I decided to take it anyway. I'm a little over a week in and I'm happy to say I have had zero side effects! Couldn't be happier with my decision."


"I have been on this pill since June of 2015 and I so far have not gotten pregnant, but I have pregnancy like symptoms all the time which lead me to think I am pregnant therefore buying tests. I have major migraines, I am depressed, already had anxiety but it has heightened, I am moody and nauseous all the time. My body aches. I am worried about what the affect this is having on my body. I have also taken the pill at the same time everyday and have skipped the week off (period week) but have not had a period since the 2nd month of being on it."


"After a my injury turned from acute to chronic my Dr. prescribed 10mcg patch. I was very skeptical since a patch seems very non-traditional but I gotta say it worked terrific. You put the patch on once a week and forget about pain/pills till the next week. So effective and convenient that multiple times I have forgotten to change it after a week. Only downside is no hot tub/baths and no direct sunbathing, a bummer when you live on the CA coast! Also no tolerance issues, was on same dose with same results for 2years."


"Getting a lot of blisters on my top of my hands stop using this for a while and blisters disappear"


"I knew there was going to be a little nausea at first, and yes, t was bad. But it cleared up after the first week. The next month, it came back worse, and extended into the month past that first week. The third month, my first week I could only lay around and vomit. Pros: my breasts and butt look great, good birth control, regulated period with wayyy less pain. Cons: severe nausea & vomiting, couldn't eat right for months, my normally short periods became long. If you are still dealing with nausea well into the second month, consider changing medications."


"I started two weeks ago on 150mg.  I noticed a difference within the first 3 days.  I wake up feeling refreshed, sometimes I have a manageable headache but within 2 hrs its gone.  I have a huge increase in energy & motivation.  I used to take a nap every day for up to 3 hours, I haven't taken one since about the 3rd day in.  My sex drive has come back slightly & the weight loss is very slow, about 1lb a week but that's also watching what and how much I eat.  The medication has helped with reducing my appetite but not by much.  I take it at night because it makes me tired.  The only negative side effect is that my skin always feels like I have bugs crawling on it.  I hope that goes away with time."


"I made a stupid mistake and had unprotected sex on my predicted fertile day. I took the plan b pill a few hours later. For the next two weeks I felt cramps and tender breasts. I was worried that those were signs of pregnancy so I was stressed for a while. But thank goodness I got my period today. It's a day early but that's better than nothing. I am so happy right now even though I have a terrible headache. Anyway, from my experience, this pill does work. Honestly, do not stress about it. Even if you feel cramps or tender breasts it may just be the side effects from the pill. So don't worry. I hope for the best :)"


"I have been using Flexeril for nearly 6 years, along with Oxycontin for pain relief following back surgery.  I have found it to be terrific for relieving muscle spasms towards evening helping me in getting several hours of sleep."


"I am a female, 44 yo, took Pristiq over 9 months up to 100mg. It gave a little relief to my depression but did nothing for anxiety and panic attacks. I left my job on disability while on it, unable to cope anymore!  I am still trying to find the right antidepressant.  Tried Zoloft, Manerix, Celexa,Cymbalta, Wellbutrin without noticeable success or just bad side effects!  Note I had no major side effects with Pristiq."


"I had a moderate vaginal yeast infection, and it was the first sort of thing like that I've ever had. I went into the University wellness center to be checked out, and was offered 2 options: a three-time creme and vaginal suppository treatment, or a one-time orally ingested antibiotic. I chose the method that was least... ichy, the pill. I've nothing but good reviews for the medicine.
It was convenient, being a one-and-done thing. It was effective- experienced some relief within 24-36 hours of taking it, was completely relieved within 4/5 days. A week later, the yeast infection appeared to be near completely gone. I had almost no side effects other than some very mild nausea shortly after ingestion. Would take again if need be."


"I have been on this pill for 2 weeks. I took the 2nd day (pill) 15 minutes late, but since then I've had my period. So I've had my period for 2 weeks straight now. Plus I get cramps and am moody all the time."


"It works! Felt like a cooling sensation in my head/face. Made me drowsy so I jumped into bed and slept for a couple of hours. Woke up with some small migraine pain but overall reduced pain from a 10 to a 1. Didn't have the chest tightening side effect that I had with Sumitriptan."


"I started Latuda about a week and a half ago and for once, my husband noticed I had a brighter mood. The nausea hits me a little bit but it's not so severe that I would stop the medication. For those who take Verapamil for migraines (etc) should be warned - my psychiatric nurse practitioner did not say there is a moderate interaction between these two medications. Verapamil potentiates Latuda, thus making Latuda stronger. I haven't had any other nasty side effects. No EPS. Good sign."


"Yes, adapalene did work but the side effects were terrible, dry, flaky, irritated, wrinkly skin that won't go away after weeks of not using adapalene. Adapalene for me should be used as a last result if you're just starting because having lumpy and irritated skin that won't go away even when moisturizing every day is actually painful to feel and to see. I also wouldn't recommend seeing a dermatologist if you don't have cystic acne, seeing an esthetician is better (To me)."


"Within a week of taking Sprintec I noticed a lot more acne on my face than I did before taking it. I've had really bad bloating and stomach aches. My breast have been hurting and I've also been way more irritable. I'm talking to my doctor about switching brands soon."


"I have been on the Nuvaring since I was 15 after my first child and now I'm going on 20. I haven't gotten pregnant, no side effects nothing. Nuvaring is the most perfect birth control ever!"


"I have only been taking xyzal for a few days, but it seems to be working for my hives.  I will post again in a month to let you know if it continues to help."


"Been on Tecfidera for one week now, staring with a 120 mg dose in the evening. I take the drug after dinner. Before dinner (~15 min) I take 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). No important symptom yet. Just some lite flushing during the first three days (in the 7th day, no flushing, no gastro-intestinal problems). Indeed, after the very first dose, when I didn't take the aspirin I experienced mild flushing doubled by "sun burn"-like sensation over the scalp, face and neck that gone after ~30 min. This first experience begun after ~5h from drug administration (delay caused most probably by the food intake)."


"I have been on CONTRAVE now for 6 months I think.
Working but not as potent as in the beginning.
Exercising moderately as well.

It was covered by my insurance but no more. I have lost 31 lbs.
Still,I can't stay on this med forever.
Very expensive when paid out-of-pocket.
I will try it one more month and then get off it.
Side effects are still some dizziness and  intermittent nausea."


"I have been taking Paxil since 2001, when I was in college and age 21.  I have always been an anxious person.  My anxiety was probably partly biological or genetic and partly learned from my anxious parents.  In 2001 my anxiety became very bad.  For the first time in my life I was having panic attacks and became agoraphobic.  I was hardly eating.  I was also suicidal.  A doctor at my college put me on 60 mg of Paxil daily and 1 mg of Ativan three times a day.  I also began seeing a psychologist and a psychiatrist.  After about half a year I was able to decrease the Paxil to 50 mg per day and the Ativan to once a day.  The combination of Paxil and Ativan saved my life!  My anxiety decreased tremendously and I felt so much better!"


"I had Implanon put it in October, and I've been on my period every day since then up until earlier this month. My doctor told me I could expect some irregular periods, but didn't think that meant I would bleed for a straight 7 months. It wasn't awful, no cramping or heavy bleeding. Just an annoyance more than anything. I've been off my period for a couple of weeks now, and am hoping it stays like this for the rest of the time I'm on this."


"I have taken 7 shots. My blood sugars have gone from 250 to 140 in the mornings waking up. I do have 2 knots just on each side of my navel. I have experienced the nausea and feeling sick within 24 hours of the shot. I have lost 12 pounds. That's a lot considering I weighed 188 when I started and I'm at 176 now. I'm 6'2" tall and losing that much weight kind of scares me. I feel a lot better taking the Bydureon and I take 2000 mg metformin daily. This medicine has stabilized my sugar levels in 7 weeks."


"I'm 34. I've had my normal share of yeast infections. Worst experience I've ever had. I could hardly work today it was burning so bad from putting in that damn stupid egg in this morning. I didn't have an issue until the cream started discharging out and having contact with my labia. The yeast infection was mild and so I had the backwards idea that nipping it right away with a 1-day treatment would be smart. Nope. Never, ever, ever again."


"Not practical

Not very strong

A lot of drug interactions and Side effects"


"My experience with lamictal is different for me in most cases. I used to take 25mg of lamictal. When I had taken the meds everyday I didn't feel any different from when I wasn't taking them. I had no side effects it was like taking air. So I kept having suicidal thoughts & being angry at 8am & by 8:30 am i was happy. I just had different moods every 30 mins. So i talked to my doctor and told her the meds werent working i told her how i was feeling so she gave me 100mg. Ever since then i have had no feeling what so ever. Like I can choose what to care about & what not to care about. I'll be fine all day and by 8-9 o'clock pm all of my bipolar & depression hits me like a wave of sadness that I feel like I'm drowning in. I guess its worth it.."


"I am constipated due to 6 auto-immune diseases and all the medications I have to take.  It was first time I ever needed this type of medication.  I have a high tolerance level but something told me to try a half dose.

I can say it 100% worked and worked too well, quick too.  I would make sure I have a night with the only plan is to take care of myself."


"I took Biaxin as soon as I got home from the Doctor. I woke up the next morning feeling amazing, not totally cured but a great start after one day!"


"Helps somewhat with cravings I guess."


"I had my first dose. A day ago. I didn't and haven't had any side effects, Didn't even feel the needle, I'm an emotional eater. I eat if I see them eating in a movie. Good commercial, someone putting on a recipe, read a book that has food in it, eat breakfast, between lunch and supper, and bedtime. One thing I've noticed is that, today, I have not thought about food, I'm not hungry. Even with seeing food on tv. So I'm wondering if this also works on your mind.  Dr.put me on it to get my sugar down, it was 11.3, 10.4,  9.5. 8.3. And now my a1c went back up to 9.3. And I been battling my weight, and my Dr.is also a Weight loss Dr.   So feeling great, and I feel different, but seems like my mind has different thinking of that makes sense."


"I have suffered panic attacks and anxiety since I was 14 and was always an anxious child,  I am 62 now. I have tried just about every medication on the market and none of them worked.  I was lucky enough to find a Dr that said a new drug Klonopin that was a seizure med may help my attacks. I haven't had an attack in years.  Although I still take it now I am having pvc's.  Klonopin will most of the time stop them. I have always taken it at night but I am gonna try a half during the day.   I will be seeing a Cardiologist"


"My hubby and I have been TTC for over a year, with no results. I finished my first round of clomid just over a week ago. I definitely ovulated a few days ago. As of yesterday, I have really sore breasts and I'm so tired. While taking the pills I didn't have any side effects at all! I really hope I get my BFP next week! Will post again soon with an update. Good luck and baby dust!"


"I was a two bottle plus red wine drinker every day of the week. Have been on Campral for a week now. The cravings have gone. I test myself by going to the local pub to meet friends and see if I weaken. Not a drop of booze passes my lips. I watch others knocking back the beer, wine & Gin etc. and I am quite happy with a Virgin Mary, lemonade and bitters or orange juice. I think two pills three times a day is excessive so I'm going to my Doctor and see if I can take it down to 1 pill 3 times a day and then slowly decrease from there. Sex drive is zilch and I sometimes feel unaccountably sad but I have been assured that will pass. Here's hoping. Campral is Federally subsidized here in Australia so it's very cheap!"


"I was a basket case.  Had the sling (we all know how THAT went - grew in to my uterine wall and had a full hysterectomy with some still left inside), Detroit LA, Vesicare - first 5mg then 10mg then doubled up on the 10mg (THAT got my GP's attention. Referring me to Uro-gynecologists where I FINALLY had a concrete diagnosis of a spastic bladder (was always told I had a prolapsed bladder!).  Botox or permanent cathater were my only 2 options.  Botox it was!  Besides an excruciating experience with the injections  (the Dr. RINSED out the lydocaine half way through the process because she saw "debris" in my bladder and didn't re-apply), it's been 6 days since my injections and I literally feel THE BEST I've felt in years!"


"I am almost done with my first pack of these pills. My nausea and fatigue have disappeared! I feel like I have more energy, and the PMS I experience about a week before my period isn't there. I will be getting my period early next week. Hope they are a lot better than normal. I recommend this pill to anyone and everyone!"


"This is very effective, but TAKE ONLY RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. I did not do this once and ended up sleep walking to my car, driving and rear ending someone. I had no memory of doing this - only found out details by reading the police report. Take only as prescribed."


"Great medicine. No side effects."


"i've had the implant for about 10 months now and it's been honestly bitter sweet. in the beginning three months I would have my period off and on at a light rate for weeks on end, which I expected of course. After the first three months I would rarely have a period at all which I loved. lately however during month nine I've been experiencing prolonged and irregular  periods for about a month which is honestly disappointing. in addition to this, my mood swings have been horrible the entire past 10 months. I have became more anxious and irrationally angry. While many people have experienced weight gain I've experienced extreme weight loss. I went from 120 to 103 and cannot gain a single pound over."


"Hi...So I took 12 weeks of Epclusa for genotype 3a (viral load-3million). The epclusa did do the trick to get rid of the hep c, however I did experience and still do experience side effects. While I was on treatment I experienced tingling, nerve pain, irritability, insomnia, ear ringing, etc. The ear ringing and ear issues remain a problem after 7 months off of the meds. I urge everyone to report side effects to the FDA. When I reported them to my doctor, I was told NO ONE else had those side effects...and I felt like I was crazy. The only way they will have a list of the accurate side effects is if they are reported to the FDA and GILEAD. This helps other patients not feel so alone. All in all it solved the main issue I suppose--"


"When I first starting using Xulane, i would get really bad nausea for 2 months. Now I am on my 5th month using and still have spotting in between my period. Also gained 5-6 pounds so far. I hate this patch. Thinking of switching to something else soon.

Only reason I chose this because it's the easiest, i only have to change it once a week."


"I have been very sick with allergies. I have had breathing treatments and the like. Tried all the standard antihistamines and they did nothing. I have only been on Xyzal about a week and I am breathing again and feel like I am going to live. This has been great. And the sleep is not bad either."


"I loved taking this medication and it was working. I was lucky and had minimal side effects. Judging from the newer medications and side effects that come with them, it really makes no sense why meridia was taken off the market."


"Wow. Where to even start. I've been on several cocktails of antidepressants from ago 13-28. Finally, my doctor prescribed Methylfolate in conjuction with Celexa. Within 10 days, I felt more alive, motivated, energetic, and at peace then I had EVER felt in my life. Absolutely a miracle. If you have given up on the endless trial and error, please, please give this a chance."


"Have been taking this drug for over five years.  Had a great drug plan so the $50.00 for a 90 day supply didn't bother me even though I never thought that the drug did anything.  Have had two heart bypass surgeries and four stents placed in my coronary arteries in the past 20 years.  Cardiologist prescribed this drug cause he ran out of options for my angina.  Like I said, never did anything.  Recently I lost my good drug plan and now my new Part 'D' prescription drug plan has me paying $225.00 per month for this drug........ridiculous.  The manufacturer offers discounts on line which is just another 'rip'.  Their own product literature says that 'we don't really understand how it works'.....well guess what; it doesn't.  This drug is a scam"


"I tried Nexplanon in 2012 after my second miscarriage. I didn't have a period until November, it was inserted in August and they where so heavy it also caused slight lactation. Not like leaky or anything just if I squeezed. Got it out in December cause my periods where unbearable. My daughter was born in March 2014. May 2014 I got it put back into see if I reacted the same  2 weeks in a had I super light two week period and haven't had anything since weight loss but no gain, a tiny bit of acne. Not sure if I'm moody due to the Nexplanon or my bipolar but I honestly love it. I want sex all the time and my husband loves the fact I don't have to worry about missing a dose. I love it too. I highly recommend at least trying it."


"This medicine will help you but you need to work with it also.  If you are really interested in feeling better you need to put forth some effort into beating this.
3 words; Medicate. Meditate. Exercise. Do it daily."


"Blemish, acne and crying all the time, that's what I got from Minastrin 24 Fe."


"I take Abilify and Lexapro together for Tourette's Syndrome and the results are excellent. If you have tics which make you uncomfortable in any way, I highly suggest going to a Psychiatrist who specializes in TS and discussing these medications."


"I am in my 6th month of Microgestin Fe 1/20 and I have mixed feelings about it. My doctor switched me from Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo because of my horrible mood swings with that. This pill, while it does help with the mood swings, seems to make me more apathetic towards everything. I hate the feeling of indifference, but it sure does beat the outbursts. However, being a dancer and in awesome physical shape, I now find myself with 'muffin top'... the excess fat around the waist that overlaps the pants. I have a constant feeling of dry mouth, and find myself drinking almost 80 oz. of water a day; most of which is likely retained. Also, extremely sensitive breasts. Showers hurt!  So, I have mixed feelings about Microgestin, but I will most likely continue to use."


"I haven't been on the pills for a month yet, 3 weeks, and I'm going to try and stay on them for at least 2 months and if I don't see an improvement I'm probably going to change my prescription. I feel nauseous at least 30 minutes a day and now that I've gotten my period it's gotten 10x worse. Good helps for maybe 10 short minutes and I'm back to feeling gross and sick. I'm constantly tired yet it's so difficult for me to sleep. And my cramps have gotten worse, I didn't even think it was possible. My back and abdomin cramp at the same time (that's usual) and normally the only way to get rid of them is heat, so I take a bath and not even that is helping and of course the heat would make me more nauseous.

Has anyone had this problem?"


"All I can I say is my kitty cat is on fire but that's how I know its working"


"I've been on a lot of mood medicines and this is one of the best medicines yet... although it makes my eyes really blurry! Will be getting a new pair of glasses soon!"


"I was on Depo for six yrs and recently switched. So far I love this birth control. My skin is so clear and glowing. I have short periods but mild headaches and mood swings. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone because of the minimal side effects. I love that my weight is under control."


"I've suffered from dysthymia and depression for years but never knew what I could do about it as my insurance does not cover mental health. I finally askedy gp if she had any suggestions and she informed me that Walmart has some $4 generics. So she put me on citalopram 20mg. The difference in the beginning was definitely a step in the right direction. 6 weeks later she bumped me up to 40mg. The change was amazing. Not only did I notice a difference in my attitude, my energy levels, my overall mood, so did others. My depression had impacted my work and personal life severely. People remarked how much they notice I've changed. I tried switching to Paxil at one point but that was awful. I went back to Celexa and that's where I'm staying!"


"I have been on Singulair since it was first on the market. This medication has given me a life that is free of fear from episodes of asthma attacks. Before this medication I was using a steroid inhaler and short acting and long acting. Not to mention the nasal spray and the allergy medication. Five medications versus the one of Singulair plus a fast acting for exercise or shortness of breath."


"I've had no obvious side effects except dry mouth. I had severe panic attacks (12-15 a day) before taking Ativan. I couldn't work and thought I was dying. Since I started it I have had only one full blown panic attack in 5 years."


"Have had ulcerative colitis for 26 years. Started Imuran after a flare up and within 1 week I thought it was a miracle and still am going to the bathroom 2 x a day and sleep all night. I worry about the side effects but I have a life again for now. Thanks to Imuran."


"I react and have side effects to almost everything I take. I'm allergic to Bactrim and doxycycline and Cipro is awful for me. No vomiting or flu symptoms everyone keeps talking about. Sometimes I get hot flashes (I'm 24) and an upset stomach but that's the worst of it."


"After 4 months I developed swelling and aching in my fingers, hands, wrist, and ankles.  Within 1 month of starting forteo I started experiencing hair loss. It's been over a week since I discontinued the injections but my hands still hurt and my ankles are still swollen. Considering there is no way to determine if the benefits outweigh the risks, I don't feel that it is the right drug for me."


"It is unbelievable how wonderful this medicine is for yeast infections! I went to doc for a urinary tract infection and also had symptoms of redness, burning, itching and swelling. It was the worst ever! Took 1 pill and already noticed results in just a few hours! It is a miracle."


"most potent and reliable  prefer over xanax.... xanax is for sometimes.. only klonopin end up stronger each dose it gets a little stronger so you don't always need another pill"


"I've dealt with depression/anxiety all of my life, or at least as early as I hit puberty. I tried Zoloft and Wellbutrin to their max doses, and neither were effective at all.  After dealing with unbearable constant depression I stopped seeing my psychiatrist and went to a family physician who prescribed me Effexor. It's been maybe 4 months on Effexor XL 75 mg/day, and I've done a 180 degree turn around. I feel so content, so confident, rarely feel sad or bothered by little things. I started dating and met someone, and my friendships with people are stronger than ever. I finally feel like the person I should be, and more importantly I feel like an OPTIMIST. Only bad thing is that withdrawal is bad & it can make you nauseous. Otherwise 10/10!"


"Works amazing! I have horrible anxiety and panic attacks which causes me to have insomnia as well. Tried just about everything for sleep. Works better than some benzos to for sleep! I know a lot about benzos. Been prescribed Ativan and Valium and this medication puts me to sleep better than those! Note this medication works similar to benzos. 5mg will work great to. You will sleep fine and wake up feeling great and functioning normal as can be. Overall great sleep medicine."


"I have posted here before after just starting Pristiq.  I've now been on 50 MG of this drug for depression and anxiety disorder for 6 months and I honestly think this medicine saved my life.  I was stuck in such a deep dark depression with severe anxiety attacks.  I couldn't function like a normal person. Everything seemed so hard.  I couldn't sleep or eat.  I started Pristiq and it took about 2 months for me to fully feel the positive effects, however I did notice a big change just 2 weeks into taking it.  The only side effect I had early on was insomina and night sweats, but those are no longer an issue.  I do notice though that if I miss a pill for more than one day, I start to feel depressed again. Overall, the best medicine I've taken."


"I was just prescribed this medication yesterday and started to take it today. I have a very nasty urinary tract infection including bacterial vaginosis. I am very anxious when it comes to taking these kind of medications for I haven't taken them before. After a day to decide to take it, I man up and took it. No side effects and it works like a charm! One hour later I felt so much better. I didn't feel like I had to constantly go to the bathroom and no pressure on my bladder, I was so relieved. I would recommend anyone who suffers UTI and Bacterial Vaginosis to give this a try."


"I've been using minocycline HCL (trade name here: Boromycin) for nearly 6 months now and it works wonders. My skin cleared up in 5 months however, the effect started to be visible only after I've been taking the capsules for about one month."


"Fell onto my shoulder off my sons skate board, initially felt no discomfort, but my shoulder a week or so after began to become painful, enough to stop me swimming. Waited 3 months for it to go, no reduction on pain, went to doctor who prescribed Naprosyn within a day or two pain had eased, carried on for 2 weeks and now swim regularly, very slight discomfort but take remaining pills as and when needed, but discomfort so small rarely have to take them.
Negatives, I think when taking medication I suffered stomach discomfort."


"Was prescribed this after wisdom teeth removal surgery. Prescribed for a week and took it every 6 hours. So effective that I felt no pain at all while taking it and without any side effect. Hydrocodone/acetaminophen was also prescribed for breakthrough pain, however hydrocodone/acetaminophen caused dizziness and vomiting for me so severe after only taking 1 pill that I stopped immediately. Keterolac is a much better and effective option for me personally."


"This medicine will help you but you need to work with it also.  If you are really interested in feeling better you need to put forth some effort into beating this.
3 words; Medicate. Meditate. Exercise. Do it daily."


"I was taking fluoxetine on a 40mg dose for just over 2 years for severe anxiety. I found it just made me extremely tired and quite numbed to daily life which was no good for my 5 year old child to see that I wasn't great showing my emotions.
I suffer bad with travelling as I feel enclosed and I can't go to the toilet which brings on sweaty palms, tense muscles, holding my breathe without realising it and upset bowels and feeling I need to go both ways constantly. Fluoxetine didn't help reduce any of these physical symptoms only the psyochological side making me feel zoned out from the world (not great when you have children) now I am about to go on a different medication citalpram I am hoping this helps"


"Have been on it for about two weeks now, so far so good. The only thing it did good for the first week on my panic disorder but unfortunately the panic attacks came back. I am on the lowest dose available so hopefully if the doctor ups it, it will take care of it. As for the depression it has worked good. "


"stage I breast cancer. I Had lumpectomy no nodes involved. No chemo I chose no radiation.... Been on zoladex and famera so far very few side effects.... But of course I'm just now starting on my second week of use..... I recommend u to get blood work done to check for vitamin deficiencies... And address them it will keep your side effects at a minimum.... "


"Wish I had read these reviews before wasting $86.
First application was at night next morning the redness was gone second night a little while after using had bright red cheeks gave it one more try my cheeks and nose were red and had pimples over nose face very hot and burning this took days to settle down.
Have gone back to using Rozex. Galderma must know this product causes more problems to us who suffer from rosacea.
They should have to refund money wasted on this product.
Don't touch this product bad news."


"Ok so I got Flexeril 10mg prescribed from an ER np, after going through ultra sounds etc. for what I feared was a DVT. Things came back nornal, so she gave me this.

I took one the next night, and about 30 minutes later, started nodding off...but this wasn't your normal dosing off. Everytime I would feel myself dosing, I'd start hearing voices. These sleepyness/auditory hallucinations were the first effects.
I didn't even notice if the pains were still there because I was constantly fighting to stay awake because the auditory hallucinations started to really scare me.

Probably about an hour or so later, I completely knocked out (around 11:30) and didn't wake up until 1 pm the next day. Won't take this ever again
"


"My mom and I are symptomatic carriers of hemophilia B and both have heavy periods. My mom has fibroids while I don't. Tranexamic acid has been a miracle. It stopped flooding, gushing, and anemia. We're normal women again! We have found that you can cut the dose in half and it still works. We also wait to start taking it until we're about a day into our periods to make sure we don't run out before the actual end of the period. Do not delay taking the pills on time after you begin taking them each cycle or you may gush! I'm on medicaid and had to appeal to get them to cover the cost, but they did because I can't take birth control."


"I had taken Trilipix for one month with my prior Doctor and it worked great for me and brought my lipids down a great deal. I'm with a new Dr. now and tried Trilipix again because my lipid panel was high again. The very first dose I took I got calf pain and still have it, constant pain, the Dr. told me to stop the medication. Not sure why it bothered me this time and not the first time I took it. I'm on 7 different medicines now for other ailments, which might have something to do with the reaction this time. The Dr. now says I have nerve damage from my diabetes, but I don't think so. "


"Letaris had some side effects that were rather unpleasant but well worth it. I can go up a flight of stairs and usually not lose my breath. The difference between how I felt before and then after starting this med was like night and day. Truly amazing. My oxygen saturation was 98-99% in my 6 min walking test vs. 92% before Letaris. Downside is these horrible red splotches all over my chest that do not go away. (I think they are broken capillaries)."


"Yes, it seems like a miracle drug AT FIRST.  I have taken it off and on for a couple of years now, maybe a few months at a time.  If you do not change your lifestyle when it is giving you the energy to do so YOU WILL GAIN YOUR WEIGHT BACK VERY QUICKLY!  It also does lose its effect the longer you take it.  I am about to discontinue taking it again and am very concerned where I will be in a few months again.  That is why I found these posts, I have been researching long term effects and feedback and recognized that most of these comments were from new users still very excited about the immediate effects.  Yes, its awesome in many ways but BEWARE you could easily put weight back on."


"I get constipation every time I start a new cycle.  I am nauseous when I take the medicine.  I take ginger pills twice a day and drink ginger ale.  This helps with nausea.  My dosage has dropped 1500 units to 1000 units after 6 treatments."


"Highly recommend this product works great!!!!"


"My experience, as a man, on Prozac for 10 years:

Overall, it seems to work the best in relieving me of life-threatening depression. In addition, it has the fewest side effects among all the other medications with these two very significant exceptions; 1)WHILE TAKING: It nearly removes your libido 100% which can ruin most relationships 2) If you STOP TAKING Prozac, you'll experience for the next 2 weeks the strange sensation of electric currents zipping inside your head with every change in thought or visual focus you make. If you stay on Prozac, It's probably best to be single. Instead, make new and real friendships which Prozac allows you the freedom to do. Good Luck!"


"Seriously is a wonder medicine if you are truly ready to stop."


"I am back on this birth control after not being on anything for a few years but my periods were becoming such a nuisance with my busy schedule (9 days of heavy bleeding and clots). Due to my migraines with aura I can't take anything with estrogen in it. I'm not sure if I'm an anomaly or why there are such terrible reviews as I no longer have periods at all. It completely stopped my cycle but I have to make sure to take it at exactly the same time each day. I still feel like myself - without the mood swings or crying. I am slightly more fatigued at night and fall asleep earlier which might be a good thing. My vaginal discharge is thicker. I've actually noticed my acne improving and haven't noticed any weight changes."


"First day...first day I felt the side effects. At first, I was ok. As the day went by, my eyes felt dry. Then my left arm and legs felt numb. I got real hot and anxious. Come 9:30p, my eyes and top of my head had such pressure. Not to mention I was ravenous all day."


"Dr. gave me a script of this because the first one is free from the maker. Works just fine."


"After 10 years of a combination of treatments that included fentanyl 100mcg every 72 hrs and dilaudid 2mg 4x prn daily with injections, facet, and nerve block. I was diagnosed with Ms in early 2014 on top of a major back injury and a decade of chronic pain. I moved to a different state  and was taken off these meds without taper so I not only went through withdrawal but was sent Into a Ms relapse. I was put on nucynta and was experiencing major headaches, disorientation, flushing, dizziness,and more.. After my husband thinking maybe my blood pressure was elevated I took my blood pressure and discovered it was dangerously low, 75/35! When between doses my readings we're a normal 110/72 but no more than 15 minutes after it dropped again!"


"I have been on Lexapro 5-10 mg for 15 years and it has kept my panic attacks and GAD at bay.  Only time I have a problem is when I decide I don't need to take the medication anymore and take myself off only to find my anxiety and panic attacks begin recurring. Dumb idea! For me, it's a long, difficult period of adjustment to get on Lexapro after getting off because of the side effects and the anxiety symptoms, (nausea, no appetite, nervousness, heartburn...) but, it's so worth it after the Lexapro begins working. Aaahh!"


"Severe allergic reactions (hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, and tongue) ear pain."


"This is a great drug. I was on Paxil for about 5 years. It helped, but wore off. I switched to Prozac and had no side effects. My energy returned, I stopped over eating and napping. The 'fogginess' has cleared."


"I have been suffering from Severe Depression, Anxiety and Panic attacks for 4 years. I have been on every anti-depressent and anti-anxiety med known along with mood stabilizers. All of these at the same time and always tweaking doses. I had no life I just wanted to be alone from my wife and kids and people in general. This hurt that I was not able to be the dad and husband I used to be. I have been on Lexapro for 4 weeks now and for the first time I have no anxiety or depression. It works for me"


"I was put on Lexapro 3 years ago to treat depression & Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The first 2 months were standard. Adjusting and getting the dose right. I ended up on 20mg. After the initial adjustment, I experienced panic attacks, which came frequently, worsening anxiety - over 3 years, gained 12kg. It in no way helped PMDD. I weened myself from 20mg down to 5mg over 6 months which was HELL then stayed on 5mg for another 12 months. I have since had my ovaries removed and a total hysterectomy to get rid of PMDD. Now 4 weeks ago,  I stopped the 5mg, cold turkey, as the tapering was so bad. Lexapro took so much of my life, and coming off is the hardest thing I've ever done and I'm still withdrawing after 4 weeks. it's been a nightmare!"


"Tofranil is THE medicine to take for Panic Disorder. I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder recently, and I was a complete mess. Depressed, suicidal, anxious, the works. My primary care Dr. gave me Xanax. The Xanax helped, but only for short spurts. It also made me more depressed. I was taking up to 3 mg per day, and barely functioning. I got in to see a Psychiatrist, and he is older and more experienced. He immediately knew I had Panic Disorder, and started me on Tofranil. Tofranil absolutely stopped the panic attacks cold. I have been able to cut the Xanax way back, and feel, dare I say, normal. Tofranil is an old medicine, so many docs don't or won't try it. Newer is not always better."


"While I found this medication to be effective for anxiety, the concentration & memory loss were terrible and almost cost me my job.

I didn't really notice anything was wrong until I started my new job.  Training was a nightmare.  I couldn't focus long enough to learn anything new!

I was reading a short list of keywords and by the time I got to #3 I couldn't remember #1.  I couldn't pay attention long enough to read a book, or even a short article.  I couldn't remember people's names.  I had to write everything down.  I couldn't focus on anything anyone was telling me, I would just pretend like I understood.

Luckily I noticed something was wrong and stopped taking it about 2 months ago.  My memory and ability to focus have improved."


"Slight pain reduction. But really not worth noting. It's the colcrys that really nips it in the bud when I feel an attack coming on. I've tried the aleeve a couple times when I didn't have the other media on hand. Just didn't seem to do much. Same for any other Naproxin sodium product."


"I have been on this pill for four years now and it has been working wonderfully. I still get light cramping during my cycle and sometimes no cramps at all. I also have anxiety and am on medicine for that and have no counter acting side effects. I look up all my medicine on google before making up my pill box to see what pills to take with what so I don't have any bad effects from them. The only downside is I am more tired in the afternoon then in the morning or at night."


"I've just started my 4th month on Sprintec, taking it for acne since I'm not currently sexually active. During the first month, I felt lots of fatigue and brain fogginess that made it hard to concentrate. During the second month, I had the same symptoms, but they decreased as the month went on. However, I gained breast tenderness. During the second month, the brain fogginess returned at the beginning and now I have decreased libido as well. Acne has decreased a small amount, but I still have multiple pimples popping up all throughout the month. Periods are a tiny bit lighter but still last the same time (about a week). Sprintec has been ok, but I will be trying something else once this pack is complete."


"I've been on Loestrin for 5 weeks now. I had many side effects so far. I've had the heavy spotting almost like a regular period 2 weeks before my actual period suppose to start. My breast are tender and I feel nausea all the time. I take mine before I go to bed and they said take it with food it should help with the nausea. I get dizzy and very moody. I do mean MOODY! I thought about stopping but I read from others to stick with it and it will get better. I just had a baby six months ago so I know my hormones need time to get adjust with this pill too. I'm going to keep trying to take it and wait and see if I feel better."


"I am 32 years old, I got diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder a mere 6 months ago but I have definitely been suffering with BDP since I was 11. Since taking quetiapine I am no longer an insomniac (the longest I went without sleep was 4 days).  I have no racing thoughts, no more paranoia; my rages are less I can deal with people in a more diplomatic way than before.  I am far less irritable or argumentative the only downside is slight weight gain, but I try to be very mindful about food because I have high cholesterol and heart disease runs in my family so I have to be careful.  I also get slight tingling in my fingers.  I am on 100mg at night and 50mg during day; it takes the edge off at work because I have a very stressful job!"


"I first took this medicine in high school and was only on it for 2 months because the side effects were so bad.  Now, approx. 4 years later, I've now been on it for 4 months.  My side effects are much reduced.  I have experienced dry, peeling lips and dry eyes.  Suspension for 1-2 weeks allowed my lips to heal and I resumed the medication.  This occurred about 3 months in.  After 2 months, after much debate, I did get a tattoo which healed beautifully, quickly, and with no color degradation.
I highly recommend this medicine only if you have consistently struggled with acne and no other medicine has worked.  Some side effects you just have to tolerate."


"I have been taking Keppra for 3 years now.  I used to take Lamictal and felt crazy during that time.  I used to feel sleepy and at first I couldn't wake up in the morning when I started taking Keppra, but now I am happy to be on it. My biggest issue with Keppra is the rising cost and the fact that my body gets used to it so I have to increase my dose."


"Celexa has turned my life completely around. I have always worried excessively about everything. I couldn't enjoy things because I worried about every little detail that could go wrong! I have been on Celexa for 4 years and I wish I had known about it long, long ago. I enjoy everything in my life and only worry if its a life or death matter. I take 20 mg a day."


"I have been on this pill for 10 days, purposely did not take it yesterday and already feel better today.  I have had a headache every day on this pill, sensitivity to light, nausea, and heart palpitations. Then the anxiety started setting in, and I felt detached from reality. I have a lot of stress in my life but have always been able to manage it.  I almost passed out while driving and went to the ER and have had every test known to man and everything is normal.  Yesterday I had a panic attack.  I have never had symptoms of anxiety or depression apart from normal stress and a bit of sadness after giving birth to my kids.  I know everyone's body reacts differently, but it took me several days to even consider this could be my birth control."


"I exercise every other day - intense 20 min. workout  w/dumbells including squats - and take 5mg Cialis within a 1 1/2 day timeframe of possibly having intercourse with my wife, which may be once or twice a week, and after 6 months of this routine I'm confident in my ability to make love again.  Without this combination I'm a lousy lover and only end up frustrating her because she thinks I'm uninterested or she's not pretty enough."


"Went to the beach stayed in the sun way to long and the next 2 days I got these fever blisters/cold sores. I was so upset until I found this medication! It really works, it gets rid of all the swelling, redness, puss/scab; basically if you feel the tingling take it ASAP! It WILL help and relieve your mind thinking "all I have is this Abreva!" Well use both and it'll be gone no later than 4-5 days and that's a lot better than 1-2 weeks left untreated."


"No side effects  with this med at all and blood sugar readings have been lower. This medication is expensive  but my Dr provided me with a savings coupon and I pay $5 out of pocket."


"I got a cold sore yesterday morning, it was quite small and barely noticeable. I put abreva on and put it on like 10 times and when I woke up this morning it was bigger and more painful. It does not work. I don't get cold sores quite often, only when I'm very sick or physically drained (I'm a lifeguard and swim teacher). This was a huge disappointment, especially for how expensive it was."


"I've been on Sprintec for 9 months. I'm pretty satisfied with it now, but at first I had major side effects. The first month was awesome. Every thing  went great! My period was so much lighter, but it lasted 6 days( which is not normal for me) After the first month, I started getting migraines. I got a yeast infection from it, which was hell. And for two months I was getting my periods twice a month. I haven't experienced any weight gain. My boobs haven't gotten bigger. And I haven't developed any mood swings or depression. I would recommend this product. It prevents pregnancy pretty well. And I get my period on time every time, and I like that. and it's affordable."


"CoQ10 has definitely helped me feel better and have more energy! I take 3 statin type medications for my high cholesterol which include Zocor, Niaspan, and Zitia. I also take Ziac for lowering my blood pressure. Before taking CoQ10 I felt very run down and tired. I now have much more energy and feel better. It has made a positive difference for me, and my doctor said it was great for the heart!!"


"Started in Jan and saw weight loss immediately! No side effects however I wasn't committed like I should have been. For example eating the wrong things, not exercising, skipping pills, etc. Now that I really know how this really works, I am committed to doing the right thing. I officially started 3-31-15 @184. Eating right, drinking plenty of water, did Zumba and on 4-2-15 weighed in  and was down to 179! First goal weight is 160. Ultimate is 140. Those with side effects try taking the pill while eating first thing in the morning and drink 1 whole bottle of water with breakfast. 3 hours later eat some fruit. That helped me tremendously! And eat small every three hours even if not hungry. This will train your body once you are off!"


"I am 8 weeks in now. Hands and scalp are pretty clear. I am noticing improvement on my legs and elbows. Feet are clearing nicely too. Still have occasional nausea in the morning. I feel better if I eat a good breakfast and hydrate. I am very optimistic I will be clear for summer. No headaches so far. No weight loss unfortunately."


"I have had many back surgeries for degenerated disc disease and was put on Nucynta three days ago. My dose is 50 mg 3 times a day. It makes me feel high gives me a severe headache, diarrhea, agitation, insomnia, dizzy, confused and it only helps for an hour. I was taking methadone 5 mg two times a day three on bad days and that worked great but this doesn't."


"I began taking clonidine a few years back for hypertension and ADHD. For roughly 2 and a half years it worked well with one 0.1 MG a night. I have had insomnia since I was 6 and I still do at 17. Although this medicine helped to decrease my heart rate, the body will begin to develop immunity towards a medicine after extended use. After 2 and a half years, my dosage had to increase to one 0.2 MG a night. Be careful when increasing dosage, ever since I increased to 0.2 I began to feel extremely anxious, moody, indifferent after sleep, and fatigued. Also I have had awful vivid nightmares almost every night now. Good medicine overall, but extended use could pose problems."


"I had to restart Effexor for the 4th time and it still works very well. My depression started to lift by the second week. The last time it took longer - about a month - before I felt any relief, it all depends. If the period of time before depression is one full of stress, longer, with many irritations, then it takes a little longer for Effexor to work. This 4th time it was only a sudden stressful situation with my mother's health - she was diagnosed with cancer - that sank me into depression. Somehow Effexor worked again and I thank God for that. The side effects for me are almost not worth mentioning and exercise helps a lot. I feel like myself again and some joy of life is back. I first took Effexor in 2005 and I'm glad it still works."


"I am female and was diagnosed with genital warts when I was 22 years old and I thought my life was over. I was prescribed Aldara cream and my gyno told me to use just a tiny bit and to try to ONLY put it on the warts and not the surrounding skin. I remember feeling a little soreness but nothing that I couldn't handle. I had a mild case of warts near the opening of my vagina and they flattened after a week and were completely cleared after 2.5 weeks... I couldn't believe it! Want to know the best part? I am 33 years old and they have never come back! Turns out my life wasn't over after all!"


"Not bad..gained a bigger bottom. Not sure about breasts yet. Got a pudgey tummy now. Periods are so much easier. I eat A LOT more..sour gummy worms are my craving. Not really any bad side effects besides first month spotting but thats gone. "


"I was on Lantus Solostar Pens for nine months. what bugged me was dose I was taking never matched the dose lines on the pen, also there was always at least 10 - 15 units left in pen that could not come out. My co-pay was $340.00 for 5 pens. I got up to needing 70 units a day, one pen equaled 4 days. I solved that by going to vials and syringes. Still taking Lantus, it is only insulin I have been on so not sure it is best for me."


"So I've been using the shot for only two months now, nearing the third. it's pretty effective. I haven't gained much weight. I have spotting which my doctor told me that was normal. my only concern are the mood swings and low libido. I have a boyfriend and I feel like the side effects are making me question my attraction to him???? our relationship is good. I just don't understand why I feel how I do. I would be fine except for the constant depression I'm having. thinking about switching to another method, or sticking to just condoms but we all know how that goes."


"I loved Depo! Was on it all together over 10 years with a break between 2009 and 2012 when we decided to have kids and now (since Sept 2016). Super convenient, effective, and it made my period completely stop. The only complaint I have was one that didn't show up until last couple of years (for which I ultimately stopped taking it): zero sex drive. I mean bad...to the point I almost got a divorce! In the past I've always had desire but it wasn't until the last 2-3 years where there's was nothing, no desire for my husband, , sex scenes in movies got no reaction...nothing!!! That is my only complaint but it was after many many years.

Still, I would recommend Depo 100%"


"After 9 weeks of treatment my Hep C is finally undetectable. I have extreme fatigue have had it for most of the treatment. Hopefully it will get better after treatment. Only 6 days left till I'm done treatment."


"Got my first shot May 17, 2015 it didnt seem to make me feel funny etc. In early July I had my first period, the cramps were so bad I left work early. August 14, 2015 I started my period. August 18th i got my shot, still bleeding to this day. Its been almost 3 months and I am still bleeding. It sucks. My sex drive is completely gone. No wonder its effective, constsntly bleeding and guys disgust you lol. I do not recommend this product, but each woman is different. I'm also going to try Mirena if the bleeding ever stops."


"Had a secondary staph infection from an athlete's foot problem.  Went to ER, gave me some antibiotics (forgot the name).  Five days passed and no relief; saw a dermatologist and he put me on the Levaquin.  First night was like World War III in my foot.  Almost ran back to the ER, but you could feel this medicine working.  Two days on the pill and swelling and redness subsided significantly.  Third day, I could walk again and zero pain from the infection.  This medicine works. Now, I'll admit that I've had sore Achilles tendons and I could feel the medicine working its way up into my knees.  However, considering the pain I was in, I am okay with the trade off. Very expensive medicine - but works!"


"I have been taking Lorazepam for about 1 year now. I have been diagnosed with anxiety. "


"I was on the patch for a total of 24 hours.  By the end of this time I was at work trying my hardest not to pass out and get sick at the same time - took it off and felt completely fine within 20 minutes.  From the research I've done, these types of symptoms usually last a few days after you apply a new one, and if I'm applying a new one once a week, that's living in agony 50% of the time!   I very rarely get side effects from medication/birth control so this surprised me.  You are also at a higher risk with this type of birth control as your body is absorbing a much higher dosage of estrogen compared to the pill.

Needless to say, I quickly made an appointment at my doctor to get back on the pill."


"I was alergic. Got very irritable and somewhat confused. Stopped it right away. Took Cipro instead."


"I just started Gabapentin 300mg Feb 28th and am titrating down of off Lexapro. It started making my anxiety go through the roof. I am also on Buspar, Lamictal and Zoloft. I suffer from post traumatic stress disorder and am in recovery x5 years from Alcoholism. Without medication my life is unmanageable. So far I feel great, not sure if its because I am lowering my Lexapro and will be off this Friday. Or if it's the Gabapentin. I am hoping this works."


"I have had acne for about 4 years now and I started bactrim about 2 years ago when I first started my skin looked amazing I was almost cleared up in a month. after about a year of being on it and my skin was doing well we went down to half a pill. about 6 months pasted and my skin started to break out again so we went back to a whole pill. my acne started to spread all over my chest, back and shoulders he decided that we would start 2 pills a day. I recently just went back and my skin was not doing well and I'm about to start accutane. I 100% believe I formed a resistance to the drug after being on it for so long. bactrim works amazing for short periods of time but in the long run it was not successful."


"It helped clear my acne completely!  Recommend it to anyone with acne,"


"My period would come and a week later it would happen again for two weeks. I have been on Mononessa for a week and my period is finally under control after years of misery."


"I just took Zyrtec for the first time last night. I slept great, but now that I am awake, I feel so tired. I am not experiencing any of my allergy symptoms, but I am on Nasonex too. Nasonex and Zyrtec work great together, the Zyrtec is the antihistamine, and the Nasonex is just a generic allergy medication. I am very sluggish, but people have said that it wears off within a couple of days. I am a little drawn back though, people have been saying it causes problems with their moods, but I trust my doctor who prescribed it to me. Hope you all feel better soon."


"This gel has been a life saver! I went off birth control last August. My acne was out of control. I tried differin and I noticed a change immediately. I've been on it since August 26th. It's now October 14th and my skin is clear and glowing. I even went off of it for a week to see if there would be a difference and all my acne did come back gradually... so I recommend this to anyone willing to try a new acne cream!! I'm Canadian and I go out of my way to pick it up in the US when I visit. My only complaint is that my skin is a little dry, just moisturize an hour after application to reduce sensitivity."


"My experience with Skyla has been pretty good so far, I have had it in for 4 months now. Getting it inserted was fairly simple and I felt little pain. The cramping was pretty severe immediately after the procedure and for the next couple days, so I suggest having someone drive you to and from the procedure. I had spotting on and off for the next 3 months but no other side effects."


"I am 27 and was diagnosed with Major Depression 7 years ago. I was on Fluoxetine which helped somehow but with emotional flatness & low motivation side effect. I also used Paxil when depression strikes again 2 years later but it made my depression worse so i went back on fluxetine. One year ago i felt going depressed again and my doctor put me on Zoloft but i started rapid cycling so i was diagnosed with BP2 and started Lamictal 150mg. I feel really good & normal with it. I never felt like that before. Now i also use 10mg Lexapro which helps me with depression. The great miracle for me was Lamictal not SSRIs ! It surely helps for BP2 to feel normal and happy without any sedation or annoying side effects."


"This product is effective in diminishing fever in approximately 30 minutes."


"I suffered with hyperhidrosis for over 10 years.  I had no idea it was an actual medical condition up until recently.  I told my doctor about my issue and he prescribed Drysol.  I must say it changed my life..i cried when I went a whole day without sweating!!  Please ask your doctor about this if you have excessive sweating!"


"I am a teenager and have been suffering from mild to now severe acne for a few years. I have tried so many creams and some worked for maybe a week or so and then stopped doing anything but make my skin irritated and dry. I've been on Minocycline for about 4 month now...it has cleared up my back and chest but has done nothing to my face. I still get acne on my cheeks, nose, and chin. Next step for me would be Accutane but I'm hesitant to try that."


"No better than over the counter cough syrup..."


"I made the first review in December 2014.  Since there is no dataset for long-term use of triumeq, I thought I'd drop back in for an update.  I am exceptionally pleased with this medication.  I have no side effects, VL is still undetectable, and CD4 is steady.  Triumeq is great!"


"I have used Afrin for years. Until yesterday, I would have given a much higher review.  In the months since last needed it, I found that I had to have it removed from a security box at the register and, in addition to safety seal, one is now required to battle a new safety design to remove the top.  I have arthritis and a torn ligament in my hand.  I concede victory to the bottle and will switch to a different brand.

Parents, if you have young children, please put all medications - including Afrin -out of reach.  If you have teenagers, please tell them not to make meth..."


"I'm 16 and I have been on the depo shot 7 months so yes I've only had 3,
I received my first in April, I was actually quite scared so my friend came with me but I didn't even know the nurse had finished then I received my second one two days late of when I was meant to, it was meant to be the Wednesday in July however I forgot about it and received it on the Friday 17th July for these I had no bleeding at all then in September I had this brown looking mark in My underwear and realised it's dry blood telling me I'm due my next injection soon. the nurse told me this could carry on a little throughout protection of this one and it is normal!  I had my 3rd one yesterday  9/10/15 and I was told this one may bleed but it will stop soon."


"Helped VERY VERY MUCH!!!"


"Eased my chest tightness when coughing after first day.  Took for 3 days then starting experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, and gas pressure.  Gave me a funny taste in my mouth that I coudn't get rid of.  Did not take the last 2 pills.  Would rather have a cough then stomach issues."


"This medication has been a life saver for me. I don't know if it works really well for depression or if I was hypothyroid but it has saved my life and I am so very thankful for it."


"Sharp pains randomly through the cycle. Prolonged periods up to 13 days of bleeding. Excessive blood loss lead to fatigue, emotional instability, dry flakey skin and scalp, brittle hair as well as hair loss and I'm only 22. Reoccurring yeast infections almost every other month. Stopped pregnancy but wasn't worth the side effects. Had it just over a year."


"I have always had anxiety, but after having my twins at 25 weeks the anxiety just got worst. After their long stay in the NICU and they were fine I thought things would get better but it became my everyday life. I have now been on Lexapro for 4 days and I am very excited of the effects already. I feel more relaxed and I don't get upset over the little things. I am actually losing weight and sleeping better. I wish I had gone to my MD sooner because I feel like I am on my way to being my old self again. I am now on my way to being a better mom and wife and that makes me feel great."


"I had a small but very painful boil and the dr gave me cephalexin. It worked really well and cleared it within a couple of days but the side effects were terrible. I had bad gas and cramps along with diarrhoea. "


"Started this med Dec 8, 2015. Have lost 16 pounds. Morning sugars dropped from 250 to 130-150 range. After meals dropping into 120 - 160 range. Hair on head and feet growing back. Yes, top of head has a noticeable amount of hair, growing back. Drinking a lot more water than before and have cut Lisinopril down to 1/2 dosage to try and figure out light headed feelings. Had several dizzy and sweat issues, but all bloodwrk is normal. Just did nuclear stress test and all is normal. Age is almost 64. Will not ride motorcycle until solving numbness in head issues. BP normal. 120/62 . Pee a lot more. Back pain is a concern as well. Tried contacting Lily, no luck"


"I have only had the paragard for about 3 weeks now. Insertion hurt a bit because of the pressure (not as painful as a non medicated birth) but I was okay after that. I have had a period since insertion, I spotted the first 2 days, had full period 4 days and did a slight spotting on the last day. the cramps were a little different than normal but advil knocked that right out. im now noticing a kick up in my sex drive which is horrible because im celibate but grateful because on hormonal bc I would have to do everything in my power to get this feeling. I love it so far."


"I have been taking Hysingla 20 mg for a month. I was taking Norco 5-325 up to 4 a day for chronic back pain post 6 surgeries. I was switched to Hysingla due to elevated liver enzymes from Tylenol. I have bile duct structure and do what I can to keep liver enzymes lower. I only took what I absolutely had to daily of Norco. Averaging 2 Norco's a day. Since I have started the Hysingla I have had a moderately severe headache and nausea everyday. I'm not sure which is worse the liver pain or headache. The nausea I tolerate. I have decided to stop taking the Hysingla and go back to the Norco. I would rather take as little as possible of medication and still be in pain than have increase in pain and be flat on my back for 6 hours with headache."


"My skin cleared up within a few months! (I was also on Doxy and used clindamycin though) I dropped 15 pounds, and I never got the emotional side affects or anything. Although, I never got cramps before and now I get some rough ones. They're not unbearable, but they hurt and need a heated blanket sometimes. I also have a longer/heavier period. Went from 3 days to 5/6. (I had a super light period and I'd consider it pretty normal now so it's not awful.) I'm also not currently pregnant."


"It seemed too good to be true. And for me, it was. I loved not having periods and nothing to remember but it's caused severe depression, insane weight gain, hair loss and tiredness. I never thought these things were caused by the Mirena. I wish I had done my homework."


"Life changing in a good way. I'm sorry to all of you who had terrible side effects. This is the third pill brand I've been on and by far the best. I'm not taking it to prevent pregnancy though. I suffer from terrible PCOS that left me sick for over a year. We are talking extreme anemia, constant nonstop heavy bleeding for months on end, fatigue, crippling cramps, weight gain and no sex drive. Taking it 4 months now (note I take nothing but continuous active pills to level out my hormone imbalance) and I have experienced zero bad side effects. I'm healthier than I've been in years, weight loss, glowing skin, thriving sex drive, no cramps or endless painful periods. It's been a real lifesaver."


"I was on Apri for 3 months.  I have always had easy, 3-day long periods but I needed birth control. I stopped using it because I had awful, 2-week long periods each month.  I was in pain and felt a general sense of sickness. I understand that it takes awhile to acclimate, but it was like it was fighting against my body."


"I began taking this b/c 2 years ago because I was having a 10 day long period every other week. The pill worked perfect for regulating my hormones so that I would have a normal (4-5 day long) period once a month. I didn't have headaches, mood swings, weight gain, or any odd side effects. Only downside is my insurance began charging $50 a month for it so I had to stop using it and now have to switch. And now that I have stopped taking it my acne on my face, back, and chest has returned."


"This is by far the best thing on the market for motion sickness. My husbands first love is the ocean so I have had to find something that helps me function on the water.  I take it the night before and only have to take 1/2 the morning of our crossing to Catalina.  It really works.  A sail boater told me about this medicine 20 years ago. The only problem, it's hard to find.  More people should know about this medicine."


"I have been on for 1 month and a half.  My period lasted for 10 days, then I came on again in the same month for another 10 days. That was all new to me. Sex drive has increased. My period is still irregular so I'm waiting on my next period.  Slight headaches and I feel sick sometimes. This is my first birth control and I haven't been on it long. Things may change. Not sure."


"I got Kyleena inserted today July 7, 2017. I was very impressed with the procedure. I was shaking before going in because I read reviews that said it hurts so bad you'll cry. I did not experience that! I felt two cramps that felt like my period just started and it took 2 minutes! If you can get through a Pap smear you can get through getting it inserted. Just breathe and talk to your doctor through it and take 600 mg of Ibuprofen before and you'll do fine. Also buy a heat pad for after because you will experience some cramping. I am still having some cramps and discomfort and it's almost been 24 hours but nothing unbearable. Give it a shot! I will update in about a month and see how everything is going."


"Viagra works in a strong, crude way with side effects.

So I switched to Cialis - fewer side effects but not the "oomph" of Viagra.

Finally I was given samples of Stendra. WOW! No side effects (I take 100 mg mid range dose). Rock hard in 15 minutes, 20 max. Plus the erection "stays" when you change positions (not true of others). it does a great job of not only getting it up but keeping it up.

PLUS: I can get 12 doses (six 200 mg pills, split into 100 mg) for $36!! Get the manufacturers Stendra Loyalty Card (from Abbott). $3 per dose. This totally rocks even though insurance isn't paying for it. Insurance pays for one Viagra a week. I need 4 erectile dysfunction pills/week, minimum.

Give Stendra try - 50 mg might be too little. Try 100 mg."


"I've been on Orsythia for about a year now and it's been the best birth control I've been on. All the others made me very emotional and gain weight. At first there was some nausea but eating before taking the pill helped. There's also breast tenderness when my period starts but thats no surprise. I haven't gained any weight, my acne cleared up and I've never had a pregnancy scare while on this pill even after unprotected sex with my boyfriend. Overall I'd say it's doing a good job."


"I have Lung cancer w/ mets to bone.  Two hours after the injection, I experienced the worst pain ever in my life!
I walked into the infusion area without any body pain, just a very slight back ache which advil was helping, and 2 hours later I was crippled.  It's 2 weeks now & I'm either in a wheelchair or walking around the house with a cane.  Horrible, horrible medication.  i now take oxycontine every 12 hours and  oxycodone every 3 hours.  Refuse this drug if you are smart.  Even my oncologist is "surprised" with the side effects I have.  I refuse to have a second injection of xgeva."


"I have been on this drug for almost a year now and it's the best of what's out there for relief of pain, instantly."


"I started this birth-control after I had my son, and for a while I thought my post pregnancy hormones were to blame for my moodiness. After four months I realized this birth control was to blame! I am usually happy-go-lucky, and see the best in every situation. NOT on this pill. The smallest things upset me and I would get mad for no reason at all. A friend of mine had the same experience... The only reason I gave it any stars at all was because it did prevent pregnancy unlike the kind I took before!"


"Was one of the only medicines that worked for my pneumonia. It was administered via IV for 3 weeks 2x a day but it worked."


"Well, I have had 2 Zoladex injections. As my Gynecologist said – symptoms will appear only after 4 weeks. WELL guess what – mine appeared only after the fourth day! YEP! And I have had ALL the symptoms. These 8 weeks have been the worst in my life. I have had: hot flashes – so bad during every night that my pillow and blanket are soaking wet, sweating, headaches, dizziness, mood changes, vaginal discharge – meaning - little bit of pee coming into my undies (sometimes not so little bit) – when I do not feel like I have to pee! Breast size reduction, bone pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, insomnia, acne, itching, and DEPRESSION MOOD SWINGS that are just  so bad . Plus my stomach has been so bloated, so gassy, so not functioning normally. THE WORST TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! I would never in a million years ever agree to this again. Better to be with endometriosis  - as guess what this does not cure it!!! So – might be all for nothing."


"This is the first and last time I will take Tamiflu. It made me feel much worse than if I would have just ridden it out. It's made me weak, dizzy, sick to my stomach and feeling worse than when I started on it."


"I like it, but it is not as good as I thought."


"06/23/17 first day.  I'm so sensitive to medications I'm praying this one works I'm 5'4" 263lbs.  I have tried everything.  Please let this work"


"Had it inserted two weeks ago (2 months post partum) and have been bleeding ever since (bleeding started day after insertion). Annoying! No other side effects yet. I like that its in my arm (as opposed to my uterus) and insertion was easy. If I don't stop bleeding soon though, I will consider taking it out."


"I have been on this for about a year now. It has been great for me. The first few months I was a bit moody, crying, and still I get slightly emotional but that's a woman for you. All in all it has been good only it's hard to remember to take the pills at the same time everyday. I recommend it if you have good memory."


"It's awesome. I can now concentrate in school and on my homework and im now getting A's on my tests. It's simply amazing."


"Been amazing for me"


"Took 2 pills...... TWO PILLS!!  Spent 3 hours in the ER with rapid heartbeats (over 100), chest tightness, anxiousness and the shakes.  Hospital did an array of tests and told me to stop taking...... No sheet.  Now the bad news..... Other doctor told me it can take up to a week to get drug out of system...... My advice..... Take one and wait a day or so to see how body responds...... In my case this pill was garbage and dangerous..... I have never had a reaction to a medicine like this...... Stay away from this antibiotic....."


"So today is only day 2 but so far I haven't experienced any side effects at all and that was the main concern for me. So far so good. But I'll keep updating, maybe I could be of use to someone else."


"I've been backed up for over a week. I took some M.O.M and it didn't work til 12 hours later."


"I was on Tamoxifen for 4 1/2 years after I had my chemo. There were a lot of side effects after stopping estrogen, dry skin, loss of libido, edgy feeling. When I started taking Tamoxifen I felt much better. I didn't feel edgy as the Tamoxifen tricked my body into feeling like it had estrogen. I had hot flashes but did not feel them. My friends would tell me I must have had a hot flash because my face turned red, I highly recommend this medicine. I felt much better on it."


"I've tried numerous anti depressants with varying degrees of success and failures. I transitioned to Viibryd from Trentellix. I started out on 10mgs per day and titrated up to 40 mgs. Within the first week my mood and demeanor became more positive. I stopped thinking about suicide. I did experience some side effects such as vivid nightmares and the inability to sleep. Major trouble sleeping at anytime. I told my doctor and she added Zyprexa 10mgs at night. Finally I could sleep. I'm going to see if she'll increase it a little more. This combination works wonders for me. If Viibryd alone isn't working for you try adding an anti psychotic or mood stabilizer. I feel really good on both of these medications. Finally, something worked."


"I had a cold that triggered some bad allergies. Constant sneezing, runny nose, one side of my nose constantly clogged, that awful itchy feeling in my nose that wouldn't go away. After my first dose of Flonase I didn't sneeze even once for the rest of the day! I am so pleased with the results. I'm on day 2 and have not had any noticeable side effects.

In regards to another review that said that the 60 dose doesn't give you the full amount due to the "priming" sprays- in the little booklet that comes it, it says that they account for priming sprays in the dosage. So you aren't wasting any product by properly priming it."


"I'm sick and have a constant barking cough that's mostly unproductive. I read reviews on amazon to find a good OTC cough suppressant. Delsym had rave reviews. I had hubby pick up the orange.

I can say that my coughing has stopped. Delsym absolutely stops the coughing. It's quite wonderful.

What's not wonderful are the three bouts of explosive diarrhea I have had since taking it three hours ago. There's more to come as my stomach is still gurgling.

This is the really bad stuff. Thank goodness it stops the coughing because if I coughed right now, I'd have diarrhea all over the bed.

The medicine DOES stop the coughing, but it's not worth this kind of diarrhea."


"I had the Implanon inserted three weeks ago. Insertion was equivalent to getting a shot in the gums at the dentist office after they numbed me I just felt pressure. I started my first period on the Implanon it came a week early. If you've ever kept taking the birth control pills continuously to miss a period and you still had your period that's what it's like so far. It's light, but it's probably going to be long. I had really heavy periods, so hopefully it stays light and shortens up."


"Been on: Dilantin, Keppra & Tegretol. All for different length of times. Have been on Lamictal for 12 years, not had a seizure since. I did however quit my high stress job. Truly a leap of faith for my family. I was the bread winner. But health is number 1.  The side effects: insomnia. My Epiologist added Neurontin to the mix to help combat this (so so). Weight gain (10lbs). Word finding. Forgetfulness. Headaches. These were all before the the addition of Neurontin.  I've been on the Paleo Diet/lifestyle for 1-1/2 years. Never felt better. Eliminated my debilitating headaches! Lamictal gave me my life back."


"I have been on 20mg for four weeks so far. I am not really sure how I should be feeling. I went for recheck yesterday to see if any improvement. Since I've only had one cycle since it's hard to tell if working. Asked my husband to monitor my moods this month with me to see if it's working. Did anyone else take this long to kick in? My dr said by week 2 I would have noticed."


"Works well."


"I've always had terrible, oily skin so my doctor finally put me on Loestrin. It took my skin a couple months to stop breaking out but now it is near perfect! I even have people complimenting me on my skin now which believe me would never have happened before. Also has completely stopped my period and I now only have mild symptoms."


"I find it has helped far more than any other medicine. It does not seem to have many side effects as the others."


"I currently have severe crohns disease and started humira about 4 weeks ago. I got kind of scared when I saw all the reviews about the pain. My experience was the opposite. It just feels like a normal pinch. When having crohns, you endure much more pain than the shot."


"Wow. If I could go back and redo anything in my life, I would read the reviews on this product before trying it. Thought it was kind of gross to shove a huge tube of cream up my vag before bed. Had no idea what it would become. Woke up a few hours later to crazy miserable itching, irritation and swelling. My lady bits are so swollen and tender, it hurts to wipe. Not sure if this means the stuff is working??? But seriously, don't use monistat 7 & go to the doctor. This stuff is miserable."


"I am taking 20mg of Paroxetine a day. I have only been taking it for one week but I am starting to feel a lot more positive. I don't feel as tired, I'm not comfort eating and I find myself in a better mood. I understand it has only been a week but I haven't felt this "up" on other SSRI's, my previous one being Sertraline which did not agree with me. My side effects have been a headache (for the first 3 days), constant dry mouth, trouble sleeping through the night, my jaw feels tight and lack of appetite. I also suffer from Trichotillomania, I have still found myself pulling eyelashes. It has only been a week so I hope I continue to improve."


"Front-line anesthesiologist with auto-immune hepatitis.  Immune-competent enough to resist patient pathogens in operating room, but Cellcept preventing my immune system from destroying my liver.  Costs me $1200/mo before deductible. "


"I cut them in half [now 20 mg], from the beginning,   take before breakfast, works like a charm.
If I miss in the morning, I will have heart burn that night.
-Affecting leg circulation??? used compression stockings, then message therapy, now replaced by using a rolling pin for 2 minutes (twice a  day) rolling UP the leg. Saves me hundreds of $.
-Cause of skin rash and itching on legs??? may be caused by dry air??"


"I have had psoriasis since I was 15 and mild psoriatic arthritis since I was 20, now four years later my psoriasis started to flare up after nearly a three and a half year remission due to treatment and develop in all the old places with it came severe psoriatic arthritis. Over the course of four months I went from moving normally to being in severe nearly constant pain and walking with a cane. I went to my dermatologist to see about any treatments and she prescribed me Humira. The day after the first two pen treatment I was walking with little pain and within a week I didn't need a cane any more. So far the only side effect I have had was a mild headache after the injection. Humira essentially gave me my life back."


"My gynecologist suggested I take one of these at the first twinge of a cramp.  Every now and then I get horrible debilitating cramps.  This medicine has saved me.  I take one pill and I know within about 30 minutes I'll be feeling a lot better and won't have any cramps."


"Just puts off withdrawal. Eventually if you come off subs you will feel it. However while taking subs it makes me normal. I ironically used Vicodin to wean off subs. But I was working a great sober program. Eventually I did relapse and here we are again. I'm hoping to go on it short term instead of the 15 months I took it before. We will see. Before I was given 2-4 strips per day. Found out later 1/4 of a strip would've done fine. This time I will not take so much."


"The first 6 months on Aubagio were wonderful. I noticed a change for the better in my depression, with seemingly no side effects. Then, at the 6 month mark, things started to go very wrong. I broke out in boils. I had them in my ear canal, as well as on both legs. I've never had boils in my life. Then things started to get even worse. I had bronchitis, the flu, bronchitis again, the flu again, admitted to the hospital for TIA (which turned out to be a massive MS attack), bronchitis again, cellulitis, and finally, severe nausea and dizziness. So many side effects my doctor did an elimination to remove the medication quickly from my system. the ease of taking the medication did not offset the side effects."


"I have been taking Crestor now for 1 year. I have been experiencing right leg/hip discomfort. It bothers me most at night when I turn in bed. I have lost over 20 lbs (dieting) and my liver enzymes are slightly elevated. I think I may need to cut it back to 5 mgs."


"Another side effect I've had is I am unable to have an orgasm (I am a woman). I will still have sex and enjoy it, but I don't even feel remotely close to coming.  That in my opinion is a small price to pay for the benefits of this medicine."


"Hi readers! to start off I had sex the 15 April and took plan b about 45 min after the condom broke. Five days after I experienced bleeding for 2 days and I would say it wasn't spotting but it was medium/heavy. After the bleeding I was trying not to think about it and just hoping science would do its magic. About a week later I started stressing again. I already have bad anxiety which made this situation a lot worse. I couldn't fathom telling my parents, there was a point where I was almost convinced I was pregnant, and honestly I think it was just me getting worried. But here I am May 7 and my period is here and I couldn't be happier! It works! Seriously just relax!"
