"I was excited to get it, but the insertion was very, VERY painful, even with local anesthesia.  I bled for a long time and it was very uncomfortable to sit in certain positions.  My periods were very different, with prolonged bleeding (not the short, sweet periods the advertisements promise).
I also noticed that I had started to smell badly down there.  I kept going to the doctor for it (the other doctor who cared for IUD patients, not MY doctor) and he kept telling me that it was a "bacterial imbalance" and not related to my IUD.  It most certainly was because my cervix was always open from the string.  This ceased after removal.
Also, it does not prevent conception.  It causes fertilized eggs to be discharged because they can't implant."


"Powerful."


"I had been taking Arthrotec 75mg 2 X's per day for several years and it worked great!  No more severe pain in my lower back but HUMANA decided I didn't need it any longer, just because there was no generic for it.  Now I live in severe pain daily.  Other medicines either do not work or they hurt my stomach so bad I can't take them.  I miss my Arthrotec.
"


"The most reliable and consistent ADHD CNS I've ever taken! Their new instant release tablets they came out with recently, are really great. Instead of taking the usual four salts (Adderall), you have one (Dextroamphetamine Sulfate). My grades and focus went up about 30 percent after taking these on right dose. I've been stuggling with ADHD since I was 6 yro. Also, I take 30mg x 3 per day. I always joke with friends that dexy makes me feel sexy."


"great"


"I started taking Tribuss in December my Cd4 count was 450 and its end Feb my cd4 is 880 it really worked for me but the side effects on the 1st month were horrible from having hallucinations,insomnia but they getting better now the only problem is my mood swings,ever since I started taking Tribuss I feel very depressed and Tenarenz side effect are better than Tribuss"


"I'm 19 and this is my first YI. The first night was absolute hell, I laid on my floor rolling around and bawling before I got up and sat in the bath to get it out. Night two and three I also had to go to the bath and get it out. Now I'm on night four and I'm fighting through it, it was itchy for about 30 minutes and now it's finally stopping. This product side effects are really bad, I'm not going to lie, but during the day I feel a lot better, it hardly itches, and it's not swollen anymore. The external cream is very helpful if you apply it in the morning. I dread inserting the cream at night, but hopefully it'll get better. This cures your YI, it just sucks."


"Absolutely horrible experience. I would wake up every night at three having an anxiety attack thinking I was dying. Several nights I experienced the strange vivid dreams. My depression and anxiety increased immensely, and suicidal ideation set in hardcore.

BEWARE OF WITHDRAWALS!!!! I have never had so much anger and rage in my life. Even after two weeks still making my depression worse as well as anxiety. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG"


"just wanted to share my experience on taking this drug. I've never felt this good in my life, I really can't remember a time when I was this clear headed and genuinely happy. I've been on this medication for just over 6 months and they have completely changed my life. I used to feel so angry and sad and had no motivation to do anything but lie around and rot with my negativity. Since taking these everything has changed, I am applying my self more, I'm doing well in college, I'v gotten a raise in work, friends and family have told me how much my mood has changed, I go gym a lot, something I wouldn't have had the energy to do before.It took about 2 months for the effects to work, but its so worth it. Hope this helps someone who has reservations."


"I've been on it for 6 months. I've become moody, depressed and I would cry over anything. My boyfriend hates it, and so do I. I'm tired, irritable, and want to be in my solitude a lot. It has put a strain on my life and my relationship. I am switching to a new birth control soon."


"I suddenly developed osteoarthritis of the knee with crippling pain. I was overwhelmed with the pain and the challenges of my mobility. My doctor prescribed Cymbalta for the depression I'd developed as a result of ambulatory challenges and within two days, I noticed that my knee pain had subsided.  After a few more days, I realized that the connection with the end of my pain and Cymbalta was obvious.  I called my doctor and learned that she was very much aware that she would kill two birds with one stone if she prescribed Cymbalta.  I've been telling all my friends with chronic pain about the wonderful medication.  Yoo-hoo!"


"I recently had the paragard IUD and I got it inserted at the age of 16. I'm currently 18 and had it taken out a week ago and got the Skyla inserted and I'm 18 now. The paragard was terrible for me because the copper wasn't good for my uterus and my uterus was pushing the paragard out. I was having bad cramps on and off my periods with the paragard too. When I got the Skyla, I had brief spotted and cramps for 1 day. Also, I never had a child either but I'm in college, and in a relationship with my boyfriend for 2 years now so I though that was the best option for me. So far I having good positive affects and hope it continues."


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


"I had a severe reaction to this medication. I will never recommend this to anyone!! Severe acne all over my face, neck, chest, & back. I gained 6 lbs in the first week, and then 3 more the next week.  I had a headache that never went away."


"Prebaby weight 2004 135lbs. 5ft 8in. Weight at full term 250lbs. 1 year after 1st baby 160lbs. Weight at full term 2nd baby 225lbs in 2010. 1 year after 2nd baby 190lbs. 2015 still between 190-200lbs. Phentermine day 1 Oct 1st 2015 201lbs, day 45 180lbs!!! It just keeps shedding!!! 30 mg. Once a day. No side effects, less appetite, more energy!!!"


"I've tried everything for anxiety - which is severe ALL the time. XANAX WORKS! Only issue is the length of time it lasts; I can feel the effects almost immediately (within 20 minutes and continue to feel effects kicking in for a good hour after), but after about 3 hours, I start to have rebound anxiety from it wearing off. Be careful of tolerance though. Since I've been on it, I've had to increase 4x. I started of with 0.5mg 3x/day and am now on 1mg, 5x/day. I don't want to change that, but this seems to be a perfect. It gives me the relief I need as often as my body seems to need it. I am so grateful for this drug, as my panic is non-existent, where it hasn't been in YEARS. It's been non stop - never relief. I finally feel relief."


"Had a secondary molar extracted and was prescribed Tylenol 3 for pain. It has not alleviated the pain at all. I have a fairly reasonable pain threshold (had major abdominal surgery 1 year ago and didn't require this much pain management). Revisited the dentist today for pain (concern with possible infection or dry socket). All is healing well so I don't understand why the entire side of my face hurts. Don't recommend T3 for dental pain management. It's making me drowsy but that's it. I've had to take 1 every 4 hours and last dose I doubled up and took 2. Still didn't help. I don't think it's made any difference at all :("


"Have been an on and off smoker for more than 30 years. Just started with the lozenges. They work fantastic. I only take them when I feel a craving coming on. I do not need 1 every 1-2 hours. Definitely give these a try. I had started my commitment the first of the year ... cold turkey. I was really having terrible cravings. I didn't want to fail at this so I purchased the lozenges. They are just enough to keep me from buying that pack of cigarettes. Day 19 ... smoke free and have saved approximately $54.00 so far."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"jittery, dry mouth, shortness of breath, tightness in chest, exacerbated hand tremors, diarrhea, nausea, headache, hot flash every day.  Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) marginally improved at best."


"A1C increased by almost 2 points (7.0 to 8.0)"


"I have been on Plaquenil 200 mg twice a day for 6 years and it has helped me tremendously. I couldn't get up from a chair or close my fists after being diagnosed with primary Sjogrens Syndrome. It took about a year, and I'm 90 % better. I am very careful to have a thorough eye exam every year to monitor potential ocular side effects. It is worth a try and the side effects are definitely less than long term steroid use."


"I took plan be one hour after unprotected sex. I waited two weeks to get my period, and it was a very stressful wait. On the second week, I began getting weird cramp-like feelings. I was worried I was pregnant. The day before my period arrived, I was extremely nauseous. However today I woke up, and my period arrived! I was so relieved and happy. Except today, my cramps were SO bad that I actually threw up and was quite dizzy. It's all worth it though, as I was extremely scared for two weeks. If you are reading this, please don't stress! The pill is very effective, and is over 95% effective taken within the first 24 hours."


"At one time I was taking as much as 5 different blood pressure medicines at a time trying to find something that would lower it from around 200/110. After a year of that I changed doctors and I was given Micardis HCT 80/12.5. That was four or five years ago and my BP is now averaging 128/74.  If there are any side effects I sure haven't noticed."


"I have now just taken my 4th injection, I'm as bad as I was if not worse than when I was first diagnosed.  I can barely walk, have swelling in my toes, feet and ankles, as well as my left knee.  Also in my elbows, wrists, hands and fingers ... I have bad psoriasis on my scalp.  I don't think this medication is very good at all and have shown no response to the previous 3 doses and this dose I have been nauseous every since taking it .. I was on Humira previously for about 5 years but I stopped responding and Embrel I had really bad reactions too ... Hoping for something new when I go back to specialist end of month"


"I have back problems.  This is the first pill that has relieved my pain and has also restored my ability to have a physical relationship.  I could see where it could be addictive, so take only when really needed."


"I have had Hep. C for nearly 40 years and was always very tired. It got to the point I could only work 4 hours a day. I started Epclusa in May and at first had headaches and some nausea. I am now viral free as of my last blood test in August. I do have more energy but I have now have gastritis and haven't felt well for two months with this problem. Now taking Nexium,  liquid silver but still persists."


"I was started at 20mgs and after 12 weeks with no improvement my dr.bumped it up too 40mgs daily which put a SMALL damper on the extreme depression I was having but that was only by making me feel nothing at all..except maybe confusion and restlessness.After about 6 months my dr changed me to lexapro which worked better..not MUCH better but a little better."


"While using the 3 day dose I experienced headaches on the second night dose. Also On my first and second dose, every now and then I would get a itching sensation. Third was pretty OK. I'm on my forth dose now because I had some cream left over..  hopefully this last one does the job completely. Plus I've been eating yogurt... (First yeast infection)."


"I have been on Lo Loestrin for almost 2 months and was extremely nervous, since the last birth control I had been on did not work at all. Lo Loestrin has been absolutely great for me. I weigh 120 and am 19 years old. I have experienced NO mood swings, heavy bleeding, head aches, nausea or vomitting. I would definitely recommend anyone to give this birth control a shot!"


"I have used "Protonix" for years, and consider it quite the miracle pill at preventing my heartburn and reflux. My most recent refill was the generic and now I regularly wake up at night with heartburn."


"This has worked for me . I was on Ambien and it made me sleepwalk, I would find things or food on the kitchen counter and thought someone had broken in to my  place, then I was told it was causing sleepwalking. Now the pharmacy told me the manufacture are not making the 3 MG. So I have to get a 2 MG and a 1 MG. And the insurance was giving me a hard time they didn't want to cover it. I told them it was causing me to sleepwalk and if something happen to me,I would hold them Responsible."


"I love this medication, it works perfectly for me. I apply a small amount only to the affected area and it clears up the redness on my cheeks. It also makes the heat go away. The redness clears up all day, which is what I need it to do. I haven't had a flare up for awhile, but it's back now and I will make sure I have plenty of Mirvaso on hand. I also have a coupon I found online that I'm hoping will help with the cost."


"Valium is a great muscle relaxer, however long term use causes more pain in the long run. After I had been taking a low 5-10 therapeutic dose for neck pain. I became intolerant to that dose & ended up with an 18 year dependency. I reached a daily 40 mg dependency when severe back & leg pain began. 18 years later, I managed to reduce the dosage to 10mgs a day with little w/drawal symptoms. Then I came across an obscure research article on rats given Valium. They developed RA-like symptoms, which is what I have. It's a type of rebound muscle pain when your body's tolerance level reaches it's peak.  It's similar to rebound headaches & the pain is severe. Please think carefully about staying on Valium long term. I'd say 2 months is safest."


"I was diagnosed with trauma induced neuropathy in my left heel following an injury that became infected, developed cellulitis and an ulcer. It took 2 months of intensive treatment for my foot to heal but about 3 weeks after I returned to work, I started experiencing sharp, electrical type pain in my heel. It was excruciating. My doctor prescribed Neurontin at first but I was not able to tolerate it. I was switched to Topamax and within a day, I had full relief and since then, I have been pain free. Yes, I am a juvenile diabetic but I had never had problems with my feet until this happened. The neuropathy is confined to my left heel only. Topamax is the best. The side effects are minimal but even if they weren't, it's worth it to be pain free."


"I just started taking buspar and at first I was scared because I hate bad side effects and don't like to take pills at all so I finally took my pill 10mg I felt good at first then came the side effects lightheaded sweating and dizziness but after 20 to 30 mins later it was over. I felt fine went out to socialize and I couldn't believe it, didn't have a panic attack or anxiety attack they work for me."


"I was on Yaz for 2 months. My acne got worse, and I had terrible breast tenderness, to the point where I couldn't wear a bra or sleep on my side or stomach. I switched to Loestrin Fe which is working wonderfully."


"I actually use this medicine for my bipolar disorder. So far I have had no side effects and no problems with it. My mood has improved a great deal and I don't have anything to complain about. This medicine is a life saver for me!"


"Have had migraines off/on since my teens in varying degrees. Within the last few years they have become more regular and with a vengeance. Tried various meds with my GP, finally started Nortriptyline, 10 mg for a week, then up to 20, etc. until no headaches. I went up to 40 mg. but experienced frequent night terrors and was scared down to back to 30 mg. (for 18mo which is still effective and reduced night terrors.  No heart palpitations, but do experience dry mouth. Recently, I thought I would titrate down to 20 mg. BAD mistake, I experienced the famous ice pick headache for two days. I am now back on my lovely 30 mg. I have to be careful to make sure I am going to get at least 7 hrs sleep or I am very groggy next am for a few hrs"


"I am a military member.  I smoked when I woke, ate, and slept, and every moment in between.  I married a woman who smoked, and our life was scheduled around smoking.  We recently decided to attempt pregnancy.  Our first step was to quit smoking.  The base where I am stationed offered a smoking cessation program with Chantix.  They provided every side effect up front and released the medication the first day.  We smoked for the first week, the first pack of Chantix.  By day four, cigarettes were tasting stale and cravings were minimal.  We were able to quit on day seven.  Irritablility, increased dreaming, and nausea are our primary side effects.  All are worth quitting smoking."


"took  starter pack for 13 days  and felt like I was in a fog all the time- on the 10th day started to have dizziness- by the 13th day it was so bad  I stopped it. My doctor said to stop it for one week and then only take it once a day. Will see if that works or not . Both the company nor the doctor ever mention  these effects!"


"DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION WITHOUT READING THIS.  IT CONFLICTS WITH MANY MEDICATIONS...including many common over the counter medicines. 5 years, 60 mg -120 mg day, suicidal and non functional much of that time and it got worse. Diagnosed bipolar 2 also BPD. Thank goodness for the drug interaction checker because I had 4 red lights. No wonder I was sick. I am going off Cymbalta. Remember: YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH CARE,  NOT YOUR DOCTOR."


"I traveled to Sierra Leone with my two-and-half year old son in 2005. He and I took Malarone. He broke out in hives that required medical attention and I experienced severe dizziness and bad dreams. I would NOT recommend this drug to anyone. We were immediately taken off Malarone and put on Daraprim which worked fine as we stayed there for six weeks and we never got sick."


"Like some others I was not dead set on smoking immediately but had some health concerns that required I quit. I was a pack a day smoker. I smoked all throughout the first 7 days of the pill as it said that was fine but by the 3rd or 4th day my want to smoke diminished and I was smoking maybe half a cigarette instead of full so when the full dosing started I had no problem quitting. I have been smoke free a week now and have the urge about once a day but I think that is because of habit and boredom more than the medication not working. Mostly I don't even think about it anymore. It really had taken over so much of my life and now, Poof, its gone. No side effects besides really great dreams. Coventry Ins covered 100% no out of pocket."


"My insurance company decided to stop paying for the medication I was on so my Doc is trying something else and that something else is is Tizanidine. I had hopes that it would work as I have several medical issues but unfortunately all that has happened is I have the worst case of dry... well I was going to say dry mouth but it's more like someone cut the top of my head & filled it up with sand. I have the worse case of dry head. I know it sounds funny but my eyes, nose & mouth are so dry. I can't remember a medication making me feel quite so dry. It isn't helping the muscle spasms at all but as a sleep aid it works pretty good."


"Unfortunately this medication had a very negative effect on me. I was supposed to take it for occasional nerve zaps that I get from having IC. When I took it, it didn't take the pain away. Instead it changed it into a CONSTANT burning pain which is way worse than the previous zaps. I stopped taking it, and although I was on a low dose 25mg a night, I got horrible withdrawal symptoms and am still dealing with panic attacks upon waking up. I know this drug has been a godsend for some people, but please be careful because it has the potential to make things way worse."


"Very good medicine for treating symptoms but very difficult to discontinue usage."


"I take 150 mg of trazodone for sleep, anxiety, depression. It helps with the anxiety and depression, but not sleep, I wake up a lot, or can't sleep after 3 hours of sleep. I have been on it almost a year."


"I have severe dry mouth from radiation treatment, resulting in severe tooth decay. Salagen has really helped soothe my mouth and gums"


"Xanax is wonderful for anxiety and panic attacks. I can thank this medication for making me a normal person. For being able to walk anywhere where there are people and feel absolutely no anxiety whatsoever. It's given me my life back. "


"My Mirena has been nothing but a constant source of frustration for the almost two years I have had it. It is now removed. Most prominently, I have always had severe cramping since inserting it (never before was cramping an issue for me). I never really stopped spotting or ever had regular periods. I developed cervical bruising because of it. Nausea was a daily issue. And most recently, I have attended over 10 doctors appointments including three emergency room visits over the course of the last three months, due to ongoing complications with bacterial infections and ovarian cysts resulting in crippling pain. Never before have I had to deal with any of these issues. "


"I just want to let other women know that with 800mg ibuprofen prior, my insertion was no big deal. Not much worse than a Pap smear! I was really nervous but it went fine. I only just got it so I can't evaluate the long term yet but so far so good."


"I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease and had my thyroid radiated so it no longer functions. I was started on Synthroid and I felt horrible. I was eventually prescribed all the other thyroid medicines but nothing worked well. I felt awful, I couldn't remember anything, I was exhausted and irritable all the time. Finally a Dr. prescribed me Armour and I feel almost normal again. It can be very hard to get as Dr.'s have to have a special license to prescribe it but I've been persistent and will accept no other thyroid replacement medication. "


"Devastating side effects - I have developed severely crippling joint pain in both knees, debilitating nerve pain in feet after 12 weeks of taking this drug for underactive thyroid.  Also experiencing muscle spasms, tremors, depression, suicidal thoughts, restlessness, some chest pains and tingling all over body. If I could have given it a lower rating, I would have."


"I got Implanon in March 2008 after having my first baby! I didn't start my period again until about 14 months after (probably more of a baby thing than an Implanon thing). Since I started my period again I go through phases..a couple of months of heavy heavy bleeding...and couple of little or no bleeding. I have not experienced any weight gain-- in fact quite the opposite. I constantly eat anything I want to, have no exercise plan (aside from chasing my crazy daughter around!), and keep losing weight. I haven't experienced any vaginal dryness or mood swings (other than what's normal..I've never been all that stable). Some headaches, a little lower sex drive, and NO MORE BABIES! Overall though I'm very pleased with Implanon."


"I pretty much have my period all month with exception of maybe 3 days. I am going to stop taking this, even though it's nice to have unprotected sex."


"I am 39 years old and I was addicted to pain medication for almost 20 years.  I have chronic back pain and I was prescribed everything from 80 mgs of Oxycontin, 40 mgs of Opana, 30 mgs of Oxycodone, to 150 micrograms of Fentanyl. I would go to the hospital for IV Dilaudid. I was a mess. No matter how many pills I was prescribed I never ever made them last so I would spend tons of money buying them on the street.  I finally had enough and now I am taking 16mg of Suboxone a day and I feel great!  Today I am 6 months sober."


"I went on Yaz for about three years and I found that my mood drastically changed for the worse as time went on. I had horrible mood swings and cried about everything. "


"My young daughter suffers from Tourette Syndrome, OCD and Anxiety. The Anxiety is a recent thing. She has never been treated before for her tics (TS) or OCD (which actually is relatively new as well). They started her on Lexapro and her anxiety was heightened as well as decreasing her appetite. Which is not good since her obsession is NOT throwing up from food. So for her, this medicine did not work. She also complained of being tired, more nausea than usual, etc. She wasn't on it long either. We just made the decision that we could not afford her to be worse. She is now on something else - fingers crossed that it'll work!"


"I used this for years and it helped with anxiety, sleep, depression. It caused initial weight gain but was worth it for relief. I stopped it on my own (not smart) because it made me sleep and I had to stay awake for care of my Dad. Now I wish I was back on it. I have been on tons of medicines to try to get stabilized again. Will be asking a doctor about it. It also helped with irritable bowel syndrome."


"I went cold turkey off 131 mgs of methadone and I am on baclofen for muscle spasms. I was on 3 a day but now down to one because of my liver, but it is a good medicine."


"Depression for fifteen months hinged on the fact that my inattention was so bad. Every day it was constantly "OH MY GOD CAN'T DO ANYTHING." I had so many motivations and ambitions  for projects and was so overwhelmed by ADHD that I could not do any of it. All I can say is that I am really disappointed with Strattera... I fought and fought to get a stimulant to no avail and they finally gave me Kapvay for bedtime. It's been two weeks and my depression has finally lifted because my inattention and distraction is gone. They are symbiotic with each other. And now I can DO STUFF and not have to binge watch Impractical Jokers anymore. To ADHD I stand atop a tram in a superhero costume and say "SUCK IT!!!""


"Have had UC since 1991 and been on Prednisolone and Asacol which became ineffective. Severe attack October 2016 - spent 10 days in hospital. IV steroids and then sent home on reducing steroids  - symptoms began to return. Azathioprine prescribed. Certainly helped reduce and eventually stop UC bleeding. Trips to the toilet reduced to around 3 or 4 occasions . Initially caused liver function problems which improved. However the drug has shattered my immune system - have taken any cold, cough or flu that crops up. Makes me fatigued after around 40 minutes exertion. Cannot now play golf, take hill walks or do heavy garden work etc. I guess it is good for some patients and not so good for others. Seeing consultant soon and will discuss options."


"I had read about the calming effects of this drug and my doctor kindly prescribed me some ahead of my Mother's funeral. I was intending to deliver a eulogy of about 10 minutes duration and I really did not want to break down as I was speaking. There is nothing worse than a sobbing speaker. I took Propanalol about 1 hour before the service and it made a huge difference. I was calm throughout the service and I delivered the whole eulogy without any cracking in my voice. I even remembered to look around the audience and engage people by eye. Everyone was very impressed and I was mightily relieved. I will definitely take this medication before any  future public speaking."


"So I promised myself that I would write a review after my experience taking plan b for those of you who are worried just like I was. The incident happened 5/27 which is 2 days away from my period, meaning I have already ovulated. Me and my bf were having unprotected sex, since I was on top of him I'm the one who is in control to pull out or get off his thing. He told me that he was about to ejaculate but I didn't get off too quickly so a couple drops of his cum came in me. After 9 hours from the incident I took plan b at night and it made my period late for 4 days which is not bad. I have read that other girls even get their period late until 2 weeks and even for 20 days late!!! So just hold on tight and don't stress about it."


"Roflumilast had completely turned my life around, from being on oxygen therapy and having frequent exacerbations, my breathing has improved so much, that I no longer need oxygen or inhalers and haven't had to take steroids or antibiotic for over a year now.
I feel sorry for anyone that experiences side effects that makes them stop taking it. In my opinion it is a life saver and the quality of my life has improved greatly, luckily with no side effects. Everything is good.
If you can - persevere with it. The side effects will lessen as your body adapts."


"Not bad, but the weight gain and how tired it made me, eventually led me to go off of it."


"Helped with my incontinence, caused very bad swelling."


"Just took my first dose 5 mg of Brintellix - have been on every possible medication including Wellbutrin for 15 years, Seroquel for 9 years, Lexapro for 2 years, just weaned off Lexapro.  I feel quite odd, butterflies in stomach and brain fog - my daughter has been on Brintellix for 2 months and is still vomiting - if this continues, another failed med."


"The only benefit to the birth control, is that is prevents pregnancy. It has caused me major mood swings (anger, and sad), pain in my breasts, and acne breakouts. I have never had issues with acne even as a teen. Its not worth it."


"I conceived my 1st baby unexpectedly when I was 17 but once it came time to try for baby number 2 we had trouble. I had developed PCOS and didn't have a menstrual cycle for 8 months straight (due to anovulation) so my doctor prescribed Clomid after 18m of no luck. I took 50mg on cycle days 2-6 and conceived my baby boy on cycle day 14(April 2009). He was born at 37 weeks 110% healthy. When we wanted to try for #3 my wonderful OBGYN prescribed Clomid again right away, allowing us to avoid the unnecessary stress of trying with no luck again. So we used 50mg on cycle days 1-5 this time and I conceived my beautiful baby girl on cycle day 21, first cycle again (Sept 2010). She was born at 39 weeks, 10 lbs of perfectness. Clomid was my miracle."


"Works great! Especially during those times when the weather changes."


"I have been a Type 2 diabetic for 10 yrs. Have tried different medications but have never really controlled my sugar levels. My AIC was 8.5 3 months ago and the Dr. said might have to be put me on insulin if I didn't get it controlled. Went to a new Dr. (endocrinologist) and she put me on Victoza.  I have only been on it for 10 days. I have experienced some weight loss (4lbs the first 5 days) some of the side effects are nausea, loss of appetite, weakness in my legs, slight headache, light stomach cramps and the eggy burps with indigestion. I didn't start having the eggy burps and indigestion until I increased my dosage to 1.2. So I went back to the 0.6 for a couple of more days and it went away.  I have increased the dosage back to 1.2."


"My 7 year old grandson has had great progress in school on Metadate 20 mg  combined with 2 mg Guanfacine.  He is focused and homework time and evenings are fine.  The only drawback is he's very grouchy and uncooperative when he wakes        up.  He has very little appetite until late evening and everyday at school his belly hurts."


"I've been taking Depakote for eight years and have not had a manic episode. I had two severe manic episodes prior."


"Drysol works very well. If you let your underarms completely dry, either by themselves or with a blow-dryer on low setting, there should be no irritation. If there is any continuous itching or burning, simply watch your armpits and dry them. Use sparingly."


"A week after I had the H1N1 "swine" flu, I was having trouble breathing (bronchitis or pneumonia?) and the ER doctor prescribed 400 mg Avelox for six days.  By the third day I was breathing much clearer, and now at day five it seems I can breathe deeper than I think I have in years.  In fact, I think my lungs are a little sore from the good deep-breathing exercise! A great benefit has been that the Avelox has also been clearing up a chronic sinus infection that I've had for years (even after surgery) - the pressure headache is gone, and the post-nasal drip is barely noticeable now.  I am not having any side effects that I can attribute directly to the medicine that I know of.  So far so good; thank you Avelox!"


"omg! First couple of months it really works really well but whenever I stop using it. I am breaking out really bad again specially on my fore head. starting using this medication I've only have severe acne on my cheeks. I've been on this medication 2-3 years now. I really think that it will help me but it's a BIG NO.. now I have a cystic acne on my forehead and on my back. I'm working on front retail and every time people looking at me it's giving me anxiety and my self esteem get lower and lower.. I don't recommend this medication if you only have severe acne it might just get worse.. goodluck"


"I've been taking Diovan for 2 weeks now and so far, it has the fewest side effects (other than hives and painful walking) and gets my blood pressure down (144/88). My system is very sensitive,but with blood pressure running 176/100 and higher, I am thankful this helps."


"I am taking Celexa now for about 2 weeks.  My heavy numbness in the morning is still there and not able to function until 2 or 3 in the afternoon.  I drink wine in the evening and thought I could stop. Not so.  I have to stop the wine and Advil in the evening and maybe I will see a difference.  "


"I was on capoxone shots for two months and was miserable with the sight reactions and itching everywhere . My doctor wanted me to stop and start gilenya . I was hesitant at first but now I'm so happy I chose to do so. Its scary to begin with seeing all the testing needing to be done and precautions, but after you get through it all and the first couple weeks of side affects , I had severe fatigue (even more then I already had before starting) and also some irregular heartbeats but would go away quickly . Now I'm on almost my third month and am forever great full for a once a day pill.. I have not had a relapse yet and am praying it stays that way ! Side affects have now almost completely gone also!!!"


"I started taking Xolair, and while it eliminated my hives (yay!) I experienced terrible stomach problems (constant gas and bloating) and weight gain of about 10 lbs that I cannot seem to lose. (I'm small so 10 lb is a lot) It's is hugely annoying- I feel pregnant, and I am very active and fit and have always been able to maintain my weight, and now I can eat almost nothing and work out and it's still there. Going off of Xolair, hope this problem resolves itself. Annoying!"


"I was originally on Buspar but for some reason the anxiety started to come back. So I went to my PCP and after talking options it was decided 10mg of Celexa would help. So this is the 17th day on Cit and things seem to be starting to even out.Had stomach issues on days 1-3 but went away. Sexual effects also popped up but after checking with the wife things still work on request, but just takes a bit longer.One thing that's certainly still there is the increased anxiety. It's not as bad as it was but still there.If you decide to go with this this really can make the anxiety worse.So between the 60mg of Buspar, the occasional Propranolol for the days the anxiety is super bad cuz of Celexa (which is getting better) I think this drug will work."


"I have been using this medicine for over 6 months.  At first it was great because I quit experiencing the low blood sugar at lunch time from glyburide.  Now I am having a little higher blood sugar, 120-145 fasting, which is high for me, and horrible heartburn and stomach issues.  Not sure if it is stress or a side effect.  May take a break from it and see what happens."


"Pros: this drug gave me an energy boost that felt like it lifted my depression and increased my metabolism. My sleep schedule was normal, people said I was friendlier, and I had consistent appetite for healthy food.

Cons: this drug took away my ability to have intimacy and perform any kind of exercise other than simple running on a treadmill. I could not play sports with any of my friends, because I would get lightheaded and faint, especially in the heat. I could not have a complete orgasm, and so that pretty much ruined sex for me.

In summary, it treated several of my depression symptoms, but the things I had to give up due to side effects were not worth it. By the way, these side effects are a very common occurrence, not a surprise."


"16, I got this in late July. I wanted it because the effectiveness of it and the fact the hormones are synthetic. I took some kind of medicine in the morning to open my cervix and I was on my period at the time. It was the worst pain I had ever had, like an extreme period cramp for three days. I couldn't sleep at night or eat. I took some Midol that helped my sister when she got hers but nothing I took helped at all. But it only lasted 3 days. I had spotting for the first month and had a normal period with slightly worse cramps, but it was nothing ibuprofen couldn't fix. The strings sometimes stab my partner and we have to stop, but it is effective. He finishes in me pretty much everytime we have sex and I haven't gotten pregnant so far."


"when i was in labor with my son, they actually gave me to doses of stadol through my IV and it knocked out my headache completely and eased the pain of my contractions slightly, but my son was on a nerve so i still ended up with an epidural afterward"


"Two weeks, so far so good. Haven't noticed a big difference though. No craving though. No problem w/ side effects-"


"My dermatologist prescribed me Epiduo and it's been OK. My face has cleared up 40% of the way but it BURNS! I will stop using the product for a little while until the dryness and rawness clears and then continue about every other day."


"Got off of Cialis because of constant heart burn and read about Stendra and it's super fast time to erections. So got a prescription and started with 200mg.  First attempt was amazing and in 30 minutes I was rock hard, just the thought of being able to enter my wife and not cum immediately because I was so stressed about being hard enough to get inside.  My wife reported I felt nice and hard and we had great sex.  On subsequent times I would say it was 80% effective sometimes I would have no problems getting hard, other times manual stimulation was required before I could get inside. Other times I would be inside but I would go soft inside her.  "


"I started Wellbutrin (150 mg) two months ago. So far, it's been very effective. The only negative side effects I've noticed have been mild heart palpitations, some pretty severe weight loss (15 lbs in two weeks, most of it muscle mass), insomnia and a slight dip in my concentration levels. I can't eat certain foods anymore (like sugars and fried foods) without experiencing heart tremors and occasionally chest tightness (like a mild heart attack), but this has mostly gone away since I've started exercising again. On the other hand, I've stopped compulsively wanting to kill myself, my mind is a lot quieter, and I have stable energy throughout the day. I feel almost normal sometimes these days, and it's definitely a strange sensation."


"I have been experiencing significant feelings of my "brain hurting" with it feeling like it wanted to bust out of my skull, was overwhelmed by sounds and sights, feeling off-kilter b/c of brain dizziness.  All affected my cognitive functioning (can't think, difficulty processing information, very bad memory, couldn't express myself verbally). Have had just about every scan done possible, showing nothing of concern.  My neurologist started me on 25 mg. ofNortriptyline, and the head-hurting has stopped!Still some dizziness and difficulty processing information. Only side effect is dry mouth and a bad taste in my mouth, so always carry water.  Happy with just this change as a place to start! I used to just cry, hold my head and stay home."


"I had HORRIBLE acne on my back - all over. So bad I almost gave up. I went on birth control, and have been applying Aczone twice a day, and it's been working fabulously! Other creams haven't been as affective at all and also bleached my cloths. Aczone doesn't do that. I am also not peeling at all, which I usually get. I also had really bad cystic acne on my neck and it is COMPLETELY gone! It's so worth the price."


"I had my Nexplanon inserted one year ago and have loved it. I was on the 3 month shot before this birth control. My arm was severely bruised after having it inserted, but that was to be expected. There were no side effects from switching birth controls, which I was extremely happy about. I'm only 19 years old and having this for three years was the best decision my mother and I could have made. The only symptoms I've experienced have been a little weight gain (10-15 pounds) & going from dry skin to oily. Other then that I have had no problems with my Nexplanon and would encourage anyone who is thinking about using this."


"I'm a male 29 and have used Retin-A micro gel 0.04% for 3 years now. I've tried everything from Proactive, Accutane and over the counter medicines. Nothing helped me like Retin-A Micro gel. Sure there was an initial breakout in the beginning but now my skin is so smooth, acne free, healthy and bright that I don't even care about the initial breakout. After 3 months of use I am Acne free thanks to this medication. I will not stop using it."


"My NP put me on a regime of Flagyl 500mg twice a day for 7 days for urinary symptoms I was having although my cultures were negative. I followed the regime for 5 days before finally stopping. My side effects were severe and had me ready to go to the ER. Stomach and pelvic cramping, continual discharge, complete loss of appetite, extreme nausea when attempting to force myself to eat solid food and general nausea when not eating. I felt extremely fatigued, emotional and anxious. I was on the verge of several full blown panic attacks at work.
I'm not sure if my symptoms are taken care of by Flagyl because the side effects are so much worse. Day 2 off of the drug and having the most severe side effects yet."


"Stopped taking my anxiety medication and thinking alcohol was the lesser of two evils I went from being a 2-3 days a week drinker (drinking a 6 pack or less) to a liter of vodka a day drinker in less than 3 weeks. Went to the hospital to detox and they gave me librium. Took away the shakes, hallucinations, everything in just a few hours. 4 days later it was out of my system and haven't drank since. Doesn't stop diarrhea from detoxing but the dangerous stuff got stopped in its track the minute they gave me this medicine. Do not try to detox on your own! They do it in 3-5 days in the hospital with this drug, keep you comfortable and monitor your vitals. Best decision I ever made. Saved my life for sure."


"Oldest son (now 11 1/2) known to us (and teachers) to have ADHD by 5 yrs of age. Did not want him on medicines, but by 2nd grade, he was not able to work to his potential. Tried Focalin. Made my sweet, funny child nauseous and zombie like. We both cried every morning while he took it. Tried for 2 months, said "forget it, not worth it. Next 4 years - no medicines at all, just great teachers and A LOT of work to keep his grades/other issues with ADD on track as best we could. EXTREMELY difficult especially for him to maintain/not stay stressed out at school/doing homework/projects/sports. Middle school began this year. Too much to handle without something. Began DAYTRANA-10 mg at Xmas. Works wonders for him! No side effects except less appetite!"


"I have had skyla for about 5 months and it's been GREAT! I had some cramping after insertion but wasn't anything to bad have had very light periods and I'm starting to lose weight! I love my skyla IUD"


"My 6 year old son has Aspergers and ADHD. He takes Strattera and 3mg of Intuniv daily for about 3 months now.  While it seems as if I can actually get his attention now while before I could not hardly at all, he is still having trouble paying attention and completing work in school. He is getting in less trouble, fewer outbursts and staying in his seat. Though I feel I should credit that to the Strattera which he started just a month before the Intuniv. He can hold conversation now too. The big issue has been headaches and stomach pain, including vomiting and heartburn. He would say his stomach and chest burns and is hot. Well recently an ulcer was found. "


"I started taking Lutera the end of Feb. 2016. I was getting married and thought I would give it a try. It's pretty good over all, I don't have any emotional problems and it doesn't make me sick to my stomach. However, I've gained 17 pounds in 2 months! My boobs got a lot bigger as well. I went from 165 lbs at my wedding to 182 lbs. today May 9th, 2016! I feel so bloated and fat! I am in my late 40's. I was anorexic in my early 20's. This medicine makes me want to stop eating again! Other than the weight gain it's ok but I don't think I will stay on it. "


"I have had the Implanon since December 21, 2009. I am overall satisfied with it except I have had lots of bleeding. I started bleeding from the first day I got it for 5 weeks then had one normal period a month later,  and now I am going on my 5th straight week of bleeding again and had to be put on estrogen to help stop the bleeding.  You wouldn't think I sound very satisfied but I haven't had any hormonal, weight or sex drive problems which is my problem with all the other types of birth control.  This is a side effect that they warn you about when you get it, but your body should adjust within the first year so I am waiting it out with my fingers crossed! Recommended but be prepared for the possible side effects."


"This is my first bc pill. I have just fjnished the first month of it. So far I would say it is very good. Made my period super light which is one of the reasons i got on it because mine were way too heavy. No headaches or spotting. The only side effect i have experienced this far is some slight breast tenderness, but nothing too bad! Hope you fjnd what's best for you!"


"This medicine made me sick. I took one 12 hour slow release tablet with a large glass of water and it's a week later and I still feel nauseated.  "


"I have acne all over my face for four years. I'M turning 20.I have oily and too much bumps on my chin and I really hate it! It minimize my confidence. I almost tried everything otc for my condition. I tried cetaphil but it doesnt work. Now, my derma suggested me to take doxy 100mg twice a day. I also have a soap named Bactazil and I use benzoyl peroxide 5% .. so far so good. Its my 6th day. Yes, redness is still there. But my pimples become less. There are no pus on my chin and cheek. I'm looking forward for the next step which is accutane. anw, Hello there from philippines!."


"Diagnosed with stage 4 with PC in my right hip. PSA for years was between 2.0 to 3.5. Went from 3.5 to 29 in one year ! I encourage all with a PSA of over 3.0 get a bone density test !
Started Luprone 30 day shot on July 5th 2016. First 3 months went from 29 to 3 so headed in the right direction. Bone pain reduced after first shot by more than 75%.
Hot flashes around the clock roughly 10 to 12 a day with a intensity level of about a 5 or 6. Very annoying but tolerable. Miscellaneous aches and pains in joints and muscles. Occasional foggy headed and definitely wake up to much to pee. I'm trying Flo-max now I hope to see some improvement. Fatigue is real!
I can't tell if this is harder on my Family than me! So far so good.

God Bless to ALL!"


"Dymista was given to me by my allergist...I used to for about 4 or 5 days straight but was nauseated the whole time....and lost my sense of smell and taste.....I do not think this is worth the inability to taste and smell....plus being nauseated..."


"I was prescribed Asacol, Apriso, had 3 sessions of Remicade all with disappointing results. I have been using Lialda for about 21 months. I was in total remission until about 2 weeks ago..so I did really good for nearly a year. Then one hugely stressful incident caused a flare up. I am working with my doctor to get back on track."


"I've been on this bc for 2 months now and I love it! It's easy to remember and I don't have to swallow a pill. I found that I had some cramping and felt nauseous the first month but other then that everything was fine. It also gives me lighter and shorter periods which is a huge perk"


"This pill is awesome, helps me sleep."


"This antibiotic worked quickly to clear up UTI. However, I had extreme gas and constant headache. Severe chest pain so bad that I went to ER thinking I was having a heart attack. Would not take again."


"I am prescribed 45 2MG Tablets a month (brand name) I take a half 3 times a day, and am also prescribed 90 1mg Klonopin a month - morning, afternoon and night.
While the Klonopin seems to aid in keeping the panic/anxiety at bay and keeping me calm and relaxed, the Xanax is the real 1-2 punch to panic attacks and anxiety; it takes all my sadness and depression away and allows me to think about all the amazing things I am working on NOT as a chore or as work, but as creative idea. Being prescribed 2 Benzo's is 'odd' practice like Klonopin 3 times a day with a fast acting Xanax. "


"Been on this for a few weeks now and I feel no better than I did before I started taking this.. Gained weight and getting severe migraines.."


"Very good and fast working"


"I find that it not only helped my blood pressure but it also relieved pain in the swollen joints of my hands.  I feel less frustrated."


"Soriatane certainly helps with the psoriasis, but I'm not sure the side effects are worth it.  I've got 2 infected ingrown toenails because the skin on my toes are so soft it laps over and causes the toenails to be ingrown and then infected.  I've lost a lot of hair.  My fingernails peel and break.  I have this plastic like coating in my mouth that nothing gets rid of.  There's got to be a better way!"


"I was diagnosed with MS in March 2008 and started Avonex in May. My symptoms were numbness and tingling in my right leg and my right arm and hand, which was sometimes painful (like holding your hand in an ice bucket). The only symptoms I experience now are numbness and tingling in the  fingers of my right hand and some frequency of urination. This medicine is great. My body aches all over for about 6 hours after I get the injection and its over about 6 hours later."


"I am a 46 year old female diagnosed with Barretts Esophagus 9 years ago... have had GERD since age 16.  Have also had a Nissen Fundoplication surgery 2 years ago.  Have been on proton pump inhibitors off and on most of my adult life.  Zegrid is the only medication that comes close to working.  I do take with another medication in the evenings."


"I've had depression for years and very high anxiety which at one point I could barely breathe and I had to focus on my breath  to calm down at all. I took xanax for 6 months a year ago. It helped a little with anxiety but not for depression very well. I got off xanax last year and took nothing at all. I felt like I was losing my mind and had thoughts of just ending my emotional and mental agony. I went back to my Dr and he gave me Lexapro and xanax. For the first time in years my face doesn't grimace in emotional pain and I feel happy. I don't know if Lexapro could do that by itself,  but with xanax it's saved my life."


"I gave the Nuvaring a 5 rating for a couple of reasons 1) for the first 3 months I was on it, it was fantastic.  2) It gave me the best gift I never knew I was missing, my daughter.  But, I didn't have any side effects for the first 3 months - just a rather shocking pregnancy after that. "


"I felt dizzy, light headed,  confused, and my throat felt like it was closing .I can't tell if it is any good because you are on so many medications when you have stage 3 heart failure. But I do know this the trials should have went forward to look at all evidence these fast tract FDA approvals have killed a lot of people because of serious side affects look at the law commercials you see everyday ."


"I had mild-sometimes moderate acne vulgaris. I didn't have terrible skin, but I didn't feel comfortable not wearing makeup, and somedays I was embarassed to let people see or touch my face. I began taking 100mg of Minocycline and saw a significant improvement. My skin cleared up very quickly, and overall my complexion looked brighter and softer. I would recommend taking Minocycline if your doctor perscribes it."


"I have tried EVERYTHING and this is the only thing besides ginko biloba that helps. I strongly recommend it. I'd rather be a little sleepy at times then hear totally insane ringing in my ears all the time."


"I just want to say thank you to all those who took time to write positive things about Yaz. I did a lot of research before taking the pill and frankly, it scared me. So many complaints and horror stories. The most important things to remember is that we all react to substances/hormones in different ways.
I'm 35 and haven't taken the pill since I was 20. I am on my 4th pack of Yaz and am very pleased. I had a little spotting in the first two months and stomach discomfort, especially when I forget a pill. Aside from that, I've lost weight and stay slim even when not active, my breasts have gone up a full size which I love. My sex drive is fine, if not greater, no change in moods. Good luck to all."


"I was diagnosed with panic disorder over a year ago and basically was a wreck. I couldn't drive, leave the house, even talk on the phone. I sought out a psychiatrist who put me on Paxil...it helped me get my life back, but, it also made me restless, zombified, and I gained 30 pounds (I'm normally quite thin)..I moved and got a different doctor who put me on Celexa 20 mg because she claimed it had less side effects and my weight would go back to normal. Boy, was she right. It was a rough week of med transition, but I can sleep again normal, I feel more alert and less groggy during the day, still can orgasm, and I'm slowly going down on my weight. I love this medication."


"Oh my! Never again. I took two at 8:00 p.m. and at 4:00 am I woke up to the worst stomach cramping. I had diarrhrea from early morning and throughout the day into the next. The stomach cramps would come and go and with intensity. Here it is Tuesday, and I'm still getting waves of nausea and cramps. The worst part is the back spasms. It feels like I'm being stabbed in the middle of my back every other hour. Then my stomach burbles, aches and my bowels cramp and then it stops. I WOULD RATHER BE CONSTIPATED. I have drank bottles and bottles of water to get this garbage laxative out of my system. If you are constipated, DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT YOU WILL SUFFER IN ER-WORTHY pain"


"I use oxycodone for severe pain relief. I am on my fourth knee replacement, same knee ( which is failing again). The medication works and keeps the pain down to a dull roar. I also take regular oxycodone for breakthrough pain relief. Having used morphine sulfate and Dilaudid in the past I find this medication works well. For how long? Only time will tell."


"Second week. Had some bad side effects but was determine to continue since I paid$ 90.00 for 30 pills. Unfortunately they have not worked for me. Lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks and still yo-yo from 0 lbs to 2 lbs losing. Get extremely hungry but craving are gone. I eat lots of vegetables not much meat (hate it).   Other than I don't see much negative reviews. Are they even posted. I will keep an eye on my review."


"I prefer Tylenol number 3 for pain. Vicodin made me sick. It is also very cost effective."


"My son has suffered with severe migraines since the age of 8 when he was diagnosed with seizures. For the better part of the next 9 yrs. I had to watch him suffer because we were told there was nothing to be done other than diet, etc. No one wants to see their child suffer! At last we found a wonderful doctor who first prescribed Midrin, which really helped, but then of course insurance didn't want to pay for it anymore and suggested Fioricet. 2 pills at the most and I have my happy son back!"


"This drug is highly addictive and due to it being short-acting, it is nearly impossible to wean off of this drug in a conventional manner. It is very effective in relieving anxiety, but should not be taken for any extended period of time or you will be hooked into an agonizing withdrawal. To get off of this short-acting drug without the painful withdrawal, switch to a long acting benzo like diazepam that is available in multiple and larger doses and can be cut into smaller amounts to wean off gradually."


"Weight gain, mood swings, stomach pain, none existent libido, migraines -all this can be yours with a shot of depo"


"I been on this medication for almost a year and a half. I'm twenty years old turning twenty one and struggled with bulimia roughly for ten years now. I was in a treatment center when I was younger for a while, nothing really helped my bulimia. Therapy, nutritionists etc. All the work, DBT everything..honestly it wasn't until I started slowly on this medication. Now on 100mg and taking it with Wellbutrin XL 150mg (I also suffer from other issues) I find myself doing ALOT better..I'm seeing a nutritionist too along with therapy but really my medication has helped. Its great."


"I was desperate for something quick and regret entirely for not reading the reviews first. I took the 2 pills at 4:30pm. By 9:30pm, I felt like I had a possible BM. Sure enough, a soft stool came with no struggling. 20 min later I felt like I couldn't trust a fart if I wanted to. By this time, it was certainly liquidy compared to the previous. I went to bed an hour later, no harm no foul. By 4:30am, I had nausea, cramping, chills and weakness that felt like a severe case of food poisoning.  By 7:30am I finally managed to lay down and pass out again. The nausea and chills lasted most of the day. Yes, the pills worked. But not satisfactorily. For how backed up I was, I expected more BM results - preferably without the awful side affects..."


"I will never take this drug again. I was prescribed a 10 day/twice a day dose for a sinus infection. I took one pill. Within 4 hrs of taking the pill I was experiencing fever like chills, tingling, nerve pain in my feet and restlessness. I had nightmares and a terrible night's sleep. The worst part is the headache I can't shake and the extreme fatigue.  My head feels like it's in a vice. I've done nothing but sleep all day -- only moving to take Advil which barely touches the headache.

I just assume suffer through the sinus infection rather than experience the past 24 hours on this drug."


"I have Nerve pain from shingles (postherpetic Neuralgia)The side effects of this medication were terrible for me.  I gained 15 pounds in 1 month, am so extremely tired that I can't function during the day, and my blood pressure had dropped significantly.  I was on blood pressure medication and had to stop it.  My blood pressure range is now 78/54 to 87/60.  I am awaiting for a call back from my physician today.  The fatigue is terrible.  I decided that I will suffer with the pain and titration off of this drug (I have only been on it for 1 month). The side effects are too devastating."


"Got the first shot today. Felt nauseous after 15-20 mins and diarrhea.

Arm still stings a little bit after a few hours."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"So I will say that Beyaz has served its course. I've been on it for a little over a year and can only offer 2 pros. Pros: it stopped my period, it prevented pregnancy. Cons: the mood swings are terrible, I am always irritated, every little thing bothers me, I am so rude to my husband. Not to mention, I cry at the drop of a dime. Before Beyaz, I could count on one hand the number of times I had cried in the last 5 years. Also, the weight gain. My doctor put me on Beyaz because it was supposed to help me lose weight. Instead, I have gained everywhere & although I constantly work out, I can't lose the weight. I have never had acne, so I can't really speak on that, but I will say that I have had quite a few breakouts while being on Beyaz."


"Had my first shots in each knee last Thursday...immediately after the doctor had me hold ice on my knees before I left the office...when home, within a few hours I noticed a huge difference in both knees. Getting up and down from a sitting position is painless now. The injections weren't horrible. I am wondering if the second and third shots get easier?"


"worked perfect for 20 years"


"Middle of 3rd month and:

It as killed my appetite, definitely keeps me from overeating partly due to mild nausea when I start my pack after placebos but, even when I'm not nauseous it's hard for me to feel hungry. Not making me crazy or anything. Doesn't break me out. [never had acne anyways]

The cons include the fact my period doesn't come on the placebos even though it could take longer to adjust and when it does come it's slightly before the placebos when it'd normally come and instead of a 5-7 day period like I normally have it's lasted 10-13 days... Plus worse cramps and no lighter periods at all. The long periods might make it a deal breaker if it continues but I hate to part with it because it has been so good to me other than that!"


"This medication created the worst two years of my life. I started having seizures my sophomore year of college and am now a senior and I have been on Keppra the past two years. The doctors never explained the severe side effects that would go along with this horrible drug. I used to be always a happy kid and since I started taking Keppra I constantly dealt with mood swings, uncontrollable anger, severe depression, constant thoughts of suicide, weight gain, and hair loss! I can't believe it took me such a long time to get off of this stupid drug. The seizures never stopped either and all the doctors would do is increase my dosage every time. I'm currently at 3000mg a day and am slowly weeding myself off of this drug and going all natural."


"Works great at treating my pain and helps with depression."


"I was placed on this for Miragine prevention.  The weight loss was cool, but the resulting High Blood Pressure not cool.  So much so that I was not able to be put on birth control medication.  I am no longer on this medication and still am suffering from HBP.  I do not smoke or drink and my blood pressure was perfect before starting this medication."


"Effexor was the first medicine given to me when I started having panic attacks. It helped me with my depression and stopped the crying spells. But I still continued to have panic attacks."


"I would NEVER recommend this drug to anyone. I understand that some women do just fine and have little to no side effects. I wasn't so lucky. I did alright with my Implanon but when I got it replaced last May and got Nexplanon (supposedly the exact same drug), it all went to hell. I have had severe anxiety which has led me to lost weight and any sex drive I had before. My moods were all over the place: I'd be laughing, then something would make me angry two minutes and I'd get so mad, I'd start crying. I cried about everything, including the fact that I cried so much! I decided to get it out today and it took 3 different people and 45 minutes to get it out!!! I had to have stitches. STAY AWAY FROM NEXPLANON"


"I had an intermittent stabbing pain in my thigh that was so painful that it would drop me to the ground. It was so intense that I would stress about it coming back. The only way I could describe it was like be struck by lightening for 10-15 seconds. When I saw my doctor, I was prescribed gabapentin for nerve pain. After the first time I took the pill, the pain was gone. It was a miracle for me! I was worried about possible side effects, even though I knew they were minimal. I took the pill at night so I wouldn't be affected by drowsiness. I had no side effects until I tried going off of the medication a few months later. A couple of days after my last pill, I had a few intense dizzy spells, but it was short lived and worth being pain free."


"Can't afford to take it.  Its working I've been free of seizure for a long time "


"I've been taking this supplement for about 2.5 months and have suddenly experienced substantial hair loss. I noticed more hair loss after showering over the past several weeks and after looking into this further, I was able to confirm this supplement was the cause. Super upsetting as my hair is approximately half the thickness of what it normally is."


"I started this medicine two days ago. It was working great. I was alert and my wife was enthused that I was able to have conversation with her. The second day my face got a rash and was swelling. I ended up in the ER. Truly upset because think it would have done great if weren't for side effects"


"I take 360 mg in the morning and my cluster headaches never come on."


"I started at the 12.5mcg/hr but had to increase to 25mcg/hr. I was amazed at how well they worked, the pain was almost gone 80-90% of the time. I have found that already the pain is creeping back, I'm not sure if it's because I need a stronger patch or because they fall off so easily. I have even tried heating it with my blow dryer to get it hot enough to stick again, it worked only once. I'm going to have my Dr read your comments, he doesn't believe that they don't stick the full 3 days. I have to go the 3rd day without a patch so it coincides with my scripts. What do you do when you swim in the summer, take it off while in the pool? Thank all of you for your reviews, I appreciate them. "


"Excellent. I was in atrial fibrillation for about 6 weeks. When my electro-physiologist put me in the hospital to monitor me for this medicine, within 2 hours after taking Tikosyn, I returned to normal sinus rhythm.

I still go in and out of atrial fibrillation, and will have catheter ablation within the next few weeks."


"only thing that has worked. I've taken everything from pills to sprays therapy to bracestablish. myoflex reduced my pain by 65 %"


"This was a game changing medication for me. I was diagnosed schizoaffective, later changed to bipolar 1. I was a zombie from the medication combination I used to be on, zyprexa and depakote. Changing the zyprexa to rexulti gave me my life back. At first, it gave me side effects of dizziness and anxiety, but after stopping and trying again, its given me energy, concentration, and the mood swings and psychosis stopped. I'm very happy with this medication. I just upped the dosage from 2mg to 3mg after being on it for a year and a half."


"I have been on for a year and a half. I am now no evidence of disease! Only bad part is the low WBC"


"I had Nexplanon inserted on Nov. 20, 2016. It is Jan. 20, 2016 and I have bled every single day. There was a week of much heavier bleeding and maybe two weeks of moderate bleeding, the rest have been light to moderate without stopping.
Some research suggests that Ibuprofen every 6 hours as prescribed or Doxycycline twice a day as prescribed will help to settle the endometrial lining however, neither has worked for me."


"I absolutely love this birth control. I did experience some light spotting, nothing scary or really inconvenient, during some of the 1st months and definitely towards my period pills. My first period was really heavy (I think because I didn't take a break with the pills to allow a period), but after the first period, things have been great! I don't spot and I don't think I have gained any weight at all. I love love love this birth control!"


"I am starting my 4th month and it is it worth it, it got rid of all my back/chest acne but I still have some on my face. It has helped a lot but the side effects suck. I'm playing football and some times I have the desire to do nothing. And sometimes I don't feel good for no reason like (depression) also the chapped lips get me mad because everyone ask why am I putting chapstick on 24/7. If you are going on this beware of side effects but in the end it will be worth it"


"I was diagnosed with Crohn's at 41 and have been taking this medication since then (approximately 2 years). It has worked perfectly for me and have had no flare ups or side effects. I currently take 2 tablets 3 x a day. I now have my life back."


"I am on Alesse 28 for 3 months now (I usually skip the sugar pills), I  don't have any problems with it. No spotting, just a little nausea for the first 2 days but that's it. I didn't gain any weight nor did Iose any. My breasts did go up one cup size. I was sexually active during my 2nd month and I continued to menstrate as indicated in my pamphlet I had received with my prescription. It works, and I'm happy. It gives me peace of mind."


"I am so thankful I found this site before I took my first taste! The taste was awful - cherry-flavored sea-water. Thank you to the writer who suggested sugar-covered lemon wedges! That really helped! I sucked a sugar-coated lemon wedge, took as big a sip as I could handle, and sucked on the lemon wedge again (even wiped my tongue with it). Needed about four lemon wedges for each of the doses. I do drink water fairly willingly, but 32 ounces beyond the 16 needed for the diluted solution was really tough. I used nearly the entire hour to finish getting the prescribed water. With the first dose, I started to experience cramps after about 35 minutes. I found that doing knee-lifts helped fight the cramping."


"I got the nexplanon in June 2014. It works as in I haven't gotten pregnant, but I've had plenty of scares because after over a year my period is still irregular. It started off great, only got it once a month and it was shorter than normal. Then at the beginning of this year I started missing 2 months of my period and then on the third month i get it twice as long. I'd like to know if anyone else has had this experience. I guess you should consider my period regular, but it sucks bc I'm in pain for so long (the implant has not reduced my cramp severity). Another con is that it itches all the time. But I don't have to get a needle stuck in my butt and I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday and I'm still not pregnant so yaaay."


"I tried Humira for 4 mons made me worse.  Then one shot of Stelera made me beyond sick and my hands and feet went from red pustules psoriasis itching to burned.  Actually looked as if I was burnt inside out.  Asked the Dr please do not put me on another biologic.  Went for 2 months untreated while they tried too get taltz approved.  So then I developed MRSA.  Started the 2 starter doses on 7/28 of taltz. Then 2nd dose on 8/11.  Now I am 100 times worse than I was on the Stelera.  I'm burnt all over both feet and hands.  I am unable too do anything.  Went to the urgent care sat for 2 hrs was turned away they couldn't help me.  Dermatologist is on vac.  Couldn't get an appointment w/new dermatologist until next Friday.  So here I am suffering, burnt from taltz."


"I have generally good luck with Gabapentin on neuropathy, though my doctor wants me to try lyrica. Neurontin stops the pins and needles of neuropathy, but not the pain. It's an improvement. It also has a strange calming effect overall. I'm ok with that. I hope the lyrica works as well. The big advantage there would be once daily dosing. If I missa dose of Gabapentin the pins and needles return fast."


"I found out a had trich from my  pap examination, the doctor immediately prescribed me metronidazole 500mg and to take all four pills at once. I'm not sure if it worked because I still feel the same way I felt before I took the pills. And I had no symptoms at all. So I wouldn't know how to rate the meds because I'm still hoping it just goes away by me just taking all four of those tablets. So can anyone tell me how long does trich last?"


"Minimum adverse effects. "


"My daughter has had over 6 ear infections, only being 22 months old. She took amox for all of them but it just didn't work. Dr gave her cefdinir (however it's spelt), and I'm pretty sure it hasn't worked.... Gives her red diarrhea, and horrible diaper rash, and she itches that area quite a bit.... She's getting tubes put in next week so hopefully that ends this horror!!"


"So I was having cramps for 2 days decided to try this by recommendation. Took 3 tablets at 9:00 pm woke up at midnight with chills the worst cramps since childbirth & ran to the restroom! 2 hours later I woke up to thee worst sweats & nausea wasn't sure which end to put on above the toilet! Then woke up 2 hours later with the cramping again! So Yes this stuff works! But seriously start with 1 tablet and yes I stayed in bed the following day due to my lower back and stomach being so sore from the cramping."


"I just started this medication on June 12 starting weight is 184 I am down to 179 already. My primary doctor advised that I do the name brand of the medication for the first month and than the following two months I have the choice of generic or name brand. Like most I have tried all the fad diets and pills and spent countless money on stuff that just did not work. Now Medical I have RLS (restless leg syndrome) and I have not had a problem with this medication effect the medication I take for that. Only real side effect I have seen so far is dry mouth even though I am drinking anywhere from 64oz water or more a day. I have increase energy which is great. I will update more results as they come. Also my insurance does cover some of the cost."


"My face, hands and feet get numb and I don't know what to do. I'm in school and freak out. I'm a hairdresser so I can't just stop and breath in a bag. This medicine worked for me. Hope it works for you."


"It has been a very good birth control it just made me very sick at first. It made me so sick that I actually lost weight. I constantly felt nauseous and even made me throw up sometime. The first few months I had normal to light periods and my skin was glowing! Aside from how sick it made me, I definitely recommend this birth control."


"This is my first time using birth control pills. I have been on Safyral for a month and a half. It has cleared up my skin significantly but caused bad mood swings and nausea. I am switching to a new birth control with a lower dose of hormones to help with my mood."


"I'm a university student, who suffers from hyperhydrosis. I've had it for a few years, ever since puberty hit. It's always embarressing having sweat stains, always feels like someone is staring. I always keep my arms down once I noticed they are there. Will never even raise my hand in class or reach the top of my locker so I dont raise my arms. No other antiperspirant worked and I'm too young for botox. Certain dry didnt work either. I tried this, went from doing it every other night to once or twice a week. Was itchy at first but now nothing. But I was so happy I could not be embarrassed anymore. I could wear whatever I wanted and buy whatever. Though, I did notice some BO come back, so I used some natural deodorant along with it. Changed my life"


"Been on opiates, benzos, alcohol and just about anything I could get my hands on. I'm going into detox very soon and Dr prescribed clonidine. Though not a magical cure all it does take the edge off. Worth a try for sure. Especially for first time detoxers. This is coming from a 25   year addict. At first they will just throw more narcotics at you in the form of benzos. But this is a great alternative. Stay strong."


"It helps me feel somewhat normal for a change."


"My first time taking birth control and I chose the patch. I was prescribed Xulane. I hate it. I already had a slight acne problem, it didn't improve it. It made my breasts tender all the time. I was spotting for a whole week, which was expected. The main issue from being on this patch, was my mood swings. I felt depressed, sad, I was crying for no reason, and then I would be happy again. My boyfriend hates it because of my mood swings. I've been on it for 3 months but not anymore."


"I was diagnosed with PTSD and GAD after 2 tours in combat. I began to suffer from anxiety in 2009, I was prescribed Zoloft and Klonopin .25mg (as needed). Klonopin was an immediate relief for unexpected anxiety attacks. 15 minutes later I was functional again. After 2 years, Zoloft destroyed my libido. So I took myself off and relied only on Klonopin. It began as needed, then 2 a week, once everyday, and finally twice a day. The anxieties were reoccurring quite often, I quickly built a dependence to get me through the day. It turns out that I was getting anxiety due to my addiction to klonopin. I decided to get off cold turkey (not recommended) and I went through 2 weeks of withdrawals. its a quick relief but addictive. be careful!"


"Ive been on the patch for under a month now.. Ive never been able to take a BC by mouth they all make me sick.. But so far from this patch ive not been sick much at all maybe more acid but one huge side effects and its my breast its like they have grown over night.. Im 20 years old and wear a A cup and i woke up 3 weeks later with a B cup of course its great news for me i want bigger breast i just hope this wont end up a bad or dangerous side effect.."


"I started taking Oleptro, great for depression. Has been a life saver for me if anything increased my sex drive and made sex more enjoyable and I slept better. Very safe to use, this is a great medication."


"Upon starting on Flowmax, urination flow was 100% improved. After 1 month urine flow somewhat more diminished but still well better than without taking Flomax. Trying to work through side effects  including mild headache, lightheaded, diminished libido/sexual desire, diminished volume in bowel movements, gas. In my 3rd month of Flomax and not sure the benefits will win over the many side effects I am experiencing."


"I have been on 4 Norco 10 mg. for a few years now and last week my pain management doctor prescribed me the 10 mg Butrane patch to go along with my Norco. I went in to see him and explained how the Norco wasn't lasting me all day.I was wanting him to up my dose of Norco to 5 a day but instead he prescribed me the Butrane patch.I got the script filled and gave it a try really not believing it would work but today I really could tell it was ...this is my fourth day on the patch and also my first day off. For the past year and a half my days off I run back and forth to the couch trying to get comfortable from my pain and not able to sleep .I got up after 11 uninterrupted hours sleep feeling the best I have in years!  NO pain! Butrane works!"


"I have not been on it longer than 2 days yet. I have a weeks patch at 20mg. I have results but I'm still in some pain. My DR has told me to use a further 10mg patch!  I will add this on Monday and write again."


"I was so hoping I could take Livalo. From the very beginning I started having headaches. I thought it was from having allergies. Took it for two months. Started having tightness in chest, muscles hurting in shoulders, and neck. Getting tired just walking around in apartment. Feeling feverish, no fever, chills. Itching, but other medicines I take say they can cause itching too, but itching got worse since taking Livalo. Stopped taking it one week ago today. Haven't told doctor yet since I already had an appointment next week. I would rather watch my diet. Actually the doctor said my heart was in good shape. Don't think I'm that bad off."


"I am 23 years old and have been taking Lorcet 10/650 since I was 18 because I have degenerative disc disease and bulging disc bone spurs and herniated discs, as well as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This medicine has helped me so much, but after some time it does lose some of its effect but I do not know what I would do without it. This week I am going to see a new doctor finally after all this time, because the other doctors I have seen tell me I am crazy and a my age there is no way possible for me to have what I have even though I have had MRIs, etc to prove it. Thank goodness for this medicine."


"The only complaint I have about this birth control is bad tension headaches and fatigue, but I'll take that over weight gain and acne which fortunately this birth control doesn't cause at all! it also made my cysts go away and is free or really cheap with insurance. would recommend to anyone!"


"Started Vistaril 25mg last night at 10pm.  I watched some T.V then went to sleep. No anxiety and no unpleasant side effects. Today I've taken another 25mg.  Didn't feel any need to take my Ativan.  But due to being on 4mg a day for years, I did take one just to be on the safe side and not seize or anything. My experience so far has been a good one. And I hope to continue to slowly come down on my Ativan use.
My meds: Lexapro 5mg taperd down from 10mg. Ativan 1mg 4x daily. Fioricet when needed and now Vistaril 25mg every 6 hours when needed."


"Betamethasone Lotion 0.1% for itchy scalp.  I used this for over 40 years for scalp control.  Then a couple years ago, the price shot up - over 10X the normal price which is rediculous.  So my doctor turned me on to a stronger type called Clobetasol Propionate .05% topical.  This works even better than my older stuff and my insurance covers this."


"Been suffering from hyperhidrosis since many years but it has been coming on worse during the more recent years. Started to socially distance myself and was always thinking about what to wear and how to lay out the day to avoid sweating.

After taking Oxybutynin for one day I noticed a change. While exercising I start to sweat but kind of in a normal way. In everyday life no more sweating. It has changed my life! Thanks for all the help from all of you that's on here. Felt like I got my life back!! I'm super happy!"


"I somehow contracted h-pylori. This bacteria cause damage to my stomach lining. As a result I began to suffer from serve burning in my stmach & everything I ate gave me heartburn & acid reflux. After seeing a gastro doctor put me on a Dexilant  (60mg). It was a life saver. I don't get the burning feeling in my stomach & no refux which was starting to damage my esophagus. My insurance pays a portion of the cost. Then I went to the Dexilant website in which they offer a program for reduced cost. I pay $20 a month for a pill that allows me to eat without suffering. I have had no side effects from this medication. I been taking Dexilant for 6 years everyday. If I miss a day it still works but I  can't go longer than 2 days without it."


"I have been taking Mucinex for about 5 months.... one in a.m. and another at 8pm.   I took it because I could not swallow any phlegm and it was difficult coughing it up.  My esophagus muscles are very weak and the phlegm would block my air waves.

Recently I have developed severe dry mouth as a side affect.  I stopped the p.m. pill, and use biotene gel, toothpaste and mouth rinse.... still no relief.  If anyone has had this problem, please let me know."


"After 2 days on doxycycline and no real improvement with my bacterial pneumonia"


"I have been taking Belviq for over 7 months now and I have lost 15.7% of my weight (250.8 Lbs to 211.4 Lbs). I am also a Type 2 Diabetic patient and my Humalog insulin intake is now reduced to 20 units a day from 100 units (80% intake reduction). My latest blood test on 01/23/2014 showed an 11.1% improvement in my Hemoglobin A1c 7.2% on 06/04/13 compared to 6.4% 01/23/14 which can be now labeled as pre-diabetic. Also, my Triglycerides showed a 24.8% improvement from 153 mg/dL to 115 mg/dL. I have no negative side effects whatsoever; all side effects have been positive and many thanks to Belviq for making this true after over 10 years being diagnosed with T2DM patient.  My 80% reduction in insulin intake is nothing short of a miracle."


"Works wonders for my headaches. Started having stomach pain about 6 months ago that I haven't checked out (can't afford testing I expect to follow). But I also think I have an ulcer from stress - who knows. Point is, it took me 20 years to get a doctor to help me find a medicine that works. This does."


"Im 24 years old, and i started having panic atacks and anxienty for no reason ( about 1 year ago) i cannot breath, walk or concentrate, chest pains and tremendous headaches..... I take diferent medicines like prozak 20mg and loram,  nothing happens, i was isolatet by the asma and headaches. I started ESRAM Escitalopram 20 mg, and after 1 months i see a lot of diferenc.... now im on the six month, i can breath 80%  better then beffore, the headatches are gone, panic atack are blocked, but i feel nausea if i dint get food before i take it. Remember to do physical exercises for 10minutes arobia etc, and you will get back to life again, self confident and very active, and remember guys NEVER GIVE UP!!

Hope you get well soon!!"


"I went through a weight loss program at my local hospital (protein shakes, healthy meal) I lost 48 pounds met my Goal August, 2015. Throughout my program and presently if I have a fatty meal I take an Alli maybe one every other day. It is amazing for weight loss maintenance in the past the pounds would be creeping I keep things in check but it is wonderful to occasionally have a treat. Highly recommend for post weight loss maintenance."


"This was my first attempt at a prescription for weight loss and I took this from 9/13-3/14. I lost weight and my appetite, somedays forgetting to eat at all. This medicine had a big effect on me that I didn't comprehend while I was on it. I held a high level position and drove multi-states for work. Q made it increasingly tough to focus and effected my eyesight and caused some hair loss over time. I couldn't sleep and in addition to not being able to focus, I was exhausted....Wired AND Tired everyday! These things got worse over time. I had dull, almost puffy pain around my eyes everyday, all day long, and my hands and feet were freezing even in hot weather. I was so off-kilter on this...although I lost weight, I felt increasingly awful."


"I have received knee shots with Euflexxa and Hylagan and Synvisic-One. they all worked well for me. I experienced a little discomfort walking the first 10 minutes after the injections. The Euflexxa felt like WD-40 being sprayed into my knees and worked well. It made my knees feel very lubricated with a bit of a bounce. The others seemed to give a bit more cushion within the knees but with less lubrication. I would recommend Euflexxa to anyone that does not have an allergic reaction to it. Six to twelve months of relief. Greatly satisfied with the product and Insurance covered all of the price except the doctors up front office visit co-pay."


"I was given this drug in 2012/  I've been experiencing dementia stages, delirium eight weeks post surgery. Then again dementia stages within a year,  then again dementia stages  with two days of delirium. Then I had another episode about 3 to 5 Day dementia like symptoms. 2016, I was experiencing dementia symptoms seven days straight, then was found on the seventh day and delirium stage hospitalized, drug culture came back  with no drugs in my system.  There are told to put me in restraints never   Happened my family was holding me down, two security guards on my feet, and then a nurse came in said I was  spitting, she came down on me with an elbow knocking out my  top teeth bottom tooth on the left side of my jaw!  I need help  and answers. Many others out there. No help from no one, doctors neurologists etc. do not want to address the issue."


"If I could give this product 0 stars I would. I took this pill twice and felt that the product worked fine. A couple days later, and I was experiencing the worst abdominal pain and cramping I've ever had. It put me into the hospital. I'm on my 4th day of misery and I promise I will never take this again. I would rather experience what I usually do after eating dairy. It's not worth the risk of seeing if it works for you. It's going into the trash."


"I have taken this medication for one year and it seems to control my blood pressure very well however I have gained 30 lbs...also my hands and feet stay swollen. I walk 3 miles a day and try to watch what I eat and can't stop gaining"


"I'm a 26 yo female who has had anxiety for the last 2 years.  several attacks landed me in the ER.  I have been taking ativan but recently I've had to take it almost every day just to feel normal.  Dr. put me on lexapro generic (10mg) 5 days ago. The first 3 days were the worst - I thought I was dying. I  saw the doctor again after that first 3 days and got him to reduce my dosage to 5mg.  I still take ativan because it hasn't had enough time to work completely I guess, but I'm glad to finally feel like a person again.  Dr. also told me part of my anxiety is caused by bad sleep patterns (I get maybe 5 restful hours - not tossing and turning - each night).  I bought a new bed so hopefully it will do the trick.  I definitely felt great this morning!"


"I have panic disorder and buspar made all the difference for me. I am bipolar and out of all the meds I take buspar seems to be the one that makes the most measurable difference. I was miserable with my anxiety and panic attacks...it took me a lot of different dr's before this was prescribed. I am so glad this is available and it's not addictive. I have enough problems."


"My daughter has inattentive ADHD."


"I have had insomnia off on and for 20 years and have been depressed for at least ten and have insomnia and anxiety. My doctor thought I was bipolar initially but has seen my problems concurrent, and we have dismissed mania. Doxepin works great. I was on Seroquel with many side effects, but I take 200mg of doxepin in two doses, and I take Klonopin, 1mg 3 times daily. I am a recovered drug addict and am very careful about abusable substances. This combination is perfect for people like me. The only side effect I have experienced is weight gain. In the first 3 months I began taking doxepin, I gained over 50 pounds but after several months my weight plateaued and is coming off with moderate exercise."


"I was prescribed mirtazapine after a 10 week treatment of citalapram, side effect out way any gains in taking it, it will make u sleep and create more anxiety,weight gain and change in personality are to name a few, when your depressed and down that black hole the withdrawal effects of the drug are far worse, I slow tapered off this drug and haven't taken any for 4months, partial side effects are still with me, I know this as I didn't have them in the first place, I' d research the myth of the chemical imbalance theory before you take this drug."

"I took the pill for one month and experienced every single side effect with the exception of weight gain.  It walked me straight into depression, spotting for a good 2 weeks. It has been almost a month since I last took it and my body is just trying to get adjusted."


"I took Effexor XR after I gave up on Lexapro (it didn't work for me, waited for a couple months). I started at 75 mg and 10 days later to 150 mg. I have been at 150 for about 5 months. I feel that I am at a stable point so I don't want to change anything for a while. My doctor said to start weening off but I don't think I'm ready yet. I had gone through a gut wrenching episode in my life that lasted for about 4 intense months of sleepless nights, hot sweats, heart palpitations, heavy chest, lack of concentration, and sadness. I felt as if I was at a doctor every other day trying to figure out what was wrong. My anxieties were so bad that I felt like exploding. Thankfully I waited it out and Effexor has helped."


"I was prescribed this medication twice daily for 7 days to treat BV. Like many others I experienced the metallic mouth, but this was the least of my worries. The abdominal pain, bloating, constant nausea, loss of appetite and acid build up in my gut became unbearable. Initially I contributed the tiredness and nausea to my early pregnancy but at times the pain was more like labor. Finally contacted my OB who advised probiotics to get my gut back in balance since the meds had mist likely killed off the good bacteria. It's taken me the better part of 2 weeks to feel like myself again. I'd rather live with BV and never take these meds again."


"This is my 3rd medicine for reducing estrogen. I have been on it for 6 months, after going through surgery and radiation for Stage 1 breast cancer. It is much easier than the other medications. BUT I'm still not sure if I will continue. Since I have started on this medicine I have had the following: blood clot in lung, headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, pain in my right side, insomnia, jaw pain, ringing in ears & some imbalances, these are new just since starting this medicine.  (Pain in joints is something that is better on this medicine than others.)  As I have already tried the other medications available to me this is my only option except taking nothing. "


"I would give the birth control patch a 10 , only because I were previously on depo for 6 months and I were bleeding the whole entire time . My doctors decided to switch me over to the birth control pills that didn't help , so I decided to get on the patch within 3 days my bleeding and spotting ended , yeah I experience some side effects such as back pain and nausea but it doesn't last a long time and it's bearable ."


"Before the first week was up and before I even increased my dosage, I went from smoking almost 2 packs a day to less than 5.  When I tried to avoid smoking altogether right away, I had very bad headaches and a little achy.  I think it does help to taper down some so your body can adjust to the change of nicotine levels.  I have tried many times and many methods to quit smoking.  Zyban is by far the best."


"I took my first dose of T. Yestrday.  never used any diabetis drugs before. There is definitely a decreased appetite. but to keep sugar level steady you have to eat a little few times a  day ..i would say every 2 hours...nuts are good idea, small apple pieces, cut up chicken, yogurt . nothing heavy...people have a diarrhea because you should not have fatty and fried food at all.  The only side effect that in have is sudden feeling that i am going to pass out, following a panic attack. I guess my body is adjusting. ill give  it a try for a month . i apprieciate everyones input, its so helpfull."


Chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / pseudoephedrine

"Cough Variant Asthma: It worked better than all the medicines I have taken, but I can no longer find it.  I had a noticeable improvement."


"Allergy testing came back negative but when I kept having cold weather induced asthma my doctor wanted me to try this. I'm already on symbicort & was doing good except cold weather. Well, the montelukestat helped it completely. We had a very cold winter this year & I was totally fine outdoors. Also I don't have any of the side effects some people mentioned, I feel great!!!"


"Terrible, have sciatica and severe leg in other leg"


"I was given inapsine for nausea during delivery by caesarian. While lying on the operating table I developed an extreme case of RLS, restless arms, actually, since my lower body was completely anesthetized. The only relief was flailing my arms and shaking them vigorously. I passed out shortly thereafter and that was the end of that. Fifteen years later I experienced somewhat extreme RLS and immediately recognized it as the same way my arms had felt during delivery (post-inapsine). The RLS continued for months and was likely due to taking sertraline. When I finally made the connection, I tapered off the sertraline and haven't had an episode since. Perhaps those who have RLS due to inapsine are more likely to have the same reaction to SSRIs."


"I was prescribed this medication for chronic severe neck pain.  I was taking 50mg per day.  While it worked to eliminate pain, I experienced constant nausea, vomiting, light headedness, and many symptoms of serotonin syndrome since I also take celexa each day.  Seroonin syndrome is serious and dangerous and can increase the likelihood of seizures.  Also, I'm taking this medication at night and it keeps me awake all night instead of allowing a good night's rest.  "


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


"I received Implanon 1-2 years ago. I was cautious at first but went ahead and got it done after my baby girl was born. I have noticed a fluctuation in my weight and my mood, well it fluctuates too. I have only had maybe 5 periods since it was implanted, they were light and only lasted a few days and I haven't had a period in almost a year....in two months it will be a year. I was warned by my doctor that when my period comes.....it can do almost anything, be light, heavy, cramping or none, bloating or none, skip months, shorter or longer periods, periods lasting 1-2 months at a time, stopping and starting of blood flow during a period .....just anything...so be prepared for anything ladies...good luck!"


"Paxil is better than other medicines I have taken for my anxiety by far. But, there are flaws with it. Being forgetful, I forget to take my medicine sometimes, and if I forget, I will get sick due to withdrawal. I am also a very skinny person and a picky eater already, and with taking Paxil, I have an extreme loss of appetite. Eating to me is now a chore and my body will not tell me when I am hungry until I go into shock due to malnutrition. But, all of this is worth it to get rid of my terrible anxiety. It is extremely worth it."


"I have had social anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder, anorexia, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder. You name it, I have had it. Since taking Prozac two months ago, my mood has improved, my thoughts are clearer, I am more motivated about life, like it actually means something. I have no more racing negative thoughts, I am positive, confident, and enjoying life again! Mild side effects include dry mouth, drowsiness, wanting to sleep more, and mild sexual dysfunction."
