"HORRIBLE experience with Epiduo. If you have very sensitive skin, I'd advise you to stay away. Only used it for two days and I broke out in a horrible rash, worse than my acne. I was red everywhere and my face was burning in pain."


"I wish I had read some reviews about this product rather than just following my MD's recommendation to have a Mirena placed to control my extremely heavy and long periods(12-20 days). Since I was spending more time bleeding than not, I was confident that anything would be better than that. I was wrong and am seriously considering having it removed even if it means going back to such awful periods. While my periods are now light and manageable, they are still consistently 14 days long. The worst parts are the weight gain and mood swings. Despite training for a marathon including often burning 1400 calories in a single run, I continue to gain weight. The bloating is unsightly and frustrating while the mood swings have a huge impact on family."


"My seven year old son has been on Intuniv for three weeks now. His behavior at school and home is finally starting to improve. He is much more focused and less irritable. Although in the end of week one and beginning of week two of this medicine, he was very cranky and irritable. He is sleepy in the afternoons, but he also takes Clonidine along with this medicine, which also makes him sleepy. So I hope the sleepiness improves. He has started the last week having severe stomach pain. He gets up many times in the night saying his tummy feels funny and he gets some diarrhea in the night. He also has a harder time staying asleep at night, which is new. Hoping the stomach pain stops so we can continue the medicines, as I feel they are helping him."


"Took sporanox for approximately seven months to cure complete infestation of toenail fungus (both feet/all toes). Sporanox had started to clear it all up when I ran out of the capsules. I was overseas and unable to get a refill. After stopping the medication for a period of time, the fungus returned to its previous state. Upon my return to the U.S. I did not pursue another Rx due to concerns over liver damage. But, if your liver is healthy and you can take it for an extended period of time, Sporanox seems to be a very effective cure. Much faster than topical meds I've used since then, although like I said soon after I stopped taking Sporanox the fungal infection returned to its previous state."


"I have suffered every month, for years with a yeast problem. Avoiding sex, chocolate and wine were hardly a solution for me! These are the important ingredients you should be taking:

1. Eat yogurt & cereal on an empty stomach.

2. Take an acidophillus supplement.

This made me NORMAL. Hooooray!"


"I'm 21 years old I had the Implanon since 2011 and I can say this is the best birth control there is. I can honestly say that this birth control should be more used and be a main option to this generation that do not like to take the pill or shots every 3 months. Its very effective I have no problems with my birth control. It is my last year with it and it has really changed my life. Yes it is expensive but WORTH IT."


"I just start break out so bad,no reason for a month.I have red rash, black head acne,big acne and under deep skin acne.I decided to go to medical center and Dr.prescribe me this cream.After applied,I feel like put on a thin film on my face and  strict my skin so much,so I put on baby power and rub my face then the strict skin feel better.For overnight, the rash all gone like magic,in the morning I wash my face with warm water and clean my face with Aveno cleansing and pad it with towel then use the cream and baby powder after that.For 2 days,the black head acne start to pear out of my face and the big acne getting smaller.I have been using it for 1 month and a half.My skin look perfect and soft like baby skin.The doctor give me 12 refills!!"


"This drug has saved my life!  I have struggled with methamphetamine addiction for about 4 years now.  The hardest part about quitting was the extreme depression and suicidal thoughts.  They always caused me to relapse.  My physician prescribed wellbutrin and it has worked like a miracle.  I have been clean for over half a year and feel like I have my old life back!  My relationships are healing and my family feels like they have their son/brother back.  I am back in college and passing my classes!  I don't attribute all that to the drug.  Counseling and AA were extremely helpful but I know it was Wellbutrin that got me through the horrible depression to the other side.  Only upfront side effects I had were jitteriness and dry mouth."


"I have suffered from anxiety for 20 years on and off, and mostly when I drive or when I'm a passenger. I have always been afraid of medicine even Tylenol. I finally broke down and saw a Doctor and she put me on Paxil. For a week I could not sleep for more than an hour at a time and I could not eat and had dry mouth. I had to force bananas and apples down with water and was getting sick from not sleeping and eating and my anxiety was non stop.
I stopped taking the medicine and went to the hospital; and he gave me a shot of Clonazepam and I went home and felt great and ate great that night, and slept great.
My Doctor prescribed it for me at 0.5 mg twice a day or whenever needed. I take 1/2 a pill a day and my life is great. No anxiety, no side effects."


"I have arthritis in my knee, decided to try Capzasin, used a very small amount, It literally set me on "fire"  I immediately jumped in the tub and drenched with cold water, that didn't even stop the burning, it lasted for hours, thought I was gonna have to go to the ER!!!"


"I'm taking this medicine for the past 3 months and I have to say its the worst!!!!! I feel very very sad, I  started to get anxious and have meltdowns easily. I have no energy to do absolutely anything, not even cooking dinner or walk my dogs and I was an active person. I tried to stay on the pill because I thought that my body will get used to but I'm still having the same side effects.
Also a lot of stomach issues bloating, constipation, nauseas as well  headaches at the right or left side of my head only. The only improved side effect I had noticed overtime is that when I started to take this medicine I had a lot of acne and skin inflammation but now I see my skin much better.
this medicine has more cons than pros STAY AWAY!!!!"


"Made my sex drive super low, very bad acne and I was always irritable and emotional.  "


"It's maybe my 5th week on the drug, noticed an increase in my productivity and feel like I can get a lot done. Although I'm suffering from nausea and slight headaches, I'm taking other medications so it's hard to say. Tried Ritalin, Ritalin XR and Dex amphetamine also. This isn't as aggressive as Dex, but Dex is my preference in comparison to this. Though it's still early days!"


"Great for treating chronic pain when taken as prescribed."


"Totally relieved trigeminal pain - pain was non-existent.  However I also turned up allergic so treatment stopped."


"Ok, I was dependent on pain pills, and other illegal narcotics. The other pain pills were working pretty good, to be honest, but they caused euphoria, and when it causes euphoria, you chase that euphoria, and I would run out of my script WAY to early, and had to go out in the streets for more pain pills or other illegal narcotics. I discussed this with my doctor, he put me on 40mg of methadone, 2x a day, and I finally got my life back on track. You feel good everyday on methadone, without raising your dose, like other pain pills. I can honestly say, methadone DEF. saved my life. Thank you Methadone for saving me, my family, and my faith. Methadone is def. a life saver!"


"*Best Things: no periods at all and SUPER effective. Very low risk of pregnancy, even without using condoms. Gained a little weight but very little compared to the pill, almost no bloating.

*Worst Things: After first six months I had horrible acne, and it was everywhere. My back, my chest, my face. So severe I needed acne medication and I'm in my mid-20's and rarely had acne before that. After two years I realized it was almost impossible to shed pounds. My sex drive was gone completely and I had a sort of numb, depression feeling most of the time.

After 3 years I had it removed, my mood and sex drive sky-rocketed almost instantly. Been off for 4 months and all acne is gone."


"After the arduous task of getting pre-authorization for this drug, I paid $60 and it is not helping. I suffer from chronic insomnia and was looking for something to help me sleep more soundly and to wake up restored. Ambien and Trazadone where my go to combo and worked well for me aside from the restorative part. Hence, the move to Belsomra. I started with 10mg  and it did nothing. Then I tried 20mg and it did assist with falling asleep eventually (at least 2 hours), but not staying asleep. I sleep off and on with this stuff and the dreams are pretty consistent, definitely not REM sleep. To anyone thinking of trying this drug, I'd say save your money and keep looking."


"Have used both Cialis and Levitra, both work really well for me. Get a bit of flushing and some dyspepsia with Levitra and less so with Cialis. What I love about Levitra is the rapid onset of action probably within 30mins but I tend to allow 45-60 mins for optimal effect. What I get is a really stiff erection of the sort I used to get when I was 16 or 17, and my penis feels hot and with more prominent veins. It is a great feeling for me and my partner. I often use a daily Cialis in 5mg dose which is like a slow burn, my penis feels slightly aroused at all times, with some residual tumescence all the time. Again a pleasant feeling. And from there I can get erect with little problem. Not as instant as Levitra though."


"Started taking Buspar to cope with the increased anxiety that Welbutrin gave me. I eventually got off Welbutrin because of the awful side effects, but stayed on the Buspar. It definitely helps to relax me mentally. I feel physically relaxed too, and my anxious habits such as bouncing my leg and drumming my fingers have been reduced, plus some of the racing thoughts and constant worrying have been dulled (although not completely cured.) The only side effect so far has been slight dizziness at times  and I feel slightly less coordinated at times. This hasn't been a deal breaker at all, however, and I'm sure these symptoms will go away with time. I'd recommend this for mild anxiety."


"Took two tablets and I swear it’s the worst cramps I’ve ever experienced. It works quick within 3-4 hours but the pain is just uncomforting. Be prepared to spend your time in the restroom."


"56 years old.  Started taking this med about 3 months ago as my cholesterol was very high and although regularly exercising and changing diet didn't lower my numbers after battling it for about a year.  Was resistant to taking this med as like some of you read reviews.  My doctor prescribed 5 mg.  Since taking it blood work to see how body was reacting to med.  My numbers have dropped drastically and my doctor is very impressed.  However I am experiencing as most of your weakness in parts of body and a lot of body aches.  I am unusually stiff when getting up from sitting for more than a hour and it wakes me at night.  Experiencing cramps in my big toe. Symptoms were on left side but now experiencing on right side. Visit scheduled w/doctor"


"I got the implant in March 2015, it was very good at first. I only spotted for a couple days the first month after that i never got my period or spotted again. Then in about March or April of this year i noticed that i was gaining weight, i was very paranoid until i started reading people's reviews about them gaining weight. I used to weigh 125 now i weigh 140 so i gained about 15 pounds thats the only thing i hate about this i havent had any other side effects but the weight gain. Im about to get it taken out, i dont think i can wait until 2018 to get it taken out, i dont want to gain anymore weight."


"Did not need to take full dose of six tablets daily - only one tablet each morning and years of "dumping" syndrome following meals has completely stopped!  Fabulous, unexpected results.......love my GI doctor for prescribing this medicine!"


"I'm 29 years old and was diagnosed with ADD when I was about 11 years old. Since that time I've been on and off a variety of medications from Ritalin, Adderall, and most recently Vyvanse which I've been on for a year and am currently taking 70mg a day. It helps with my alertness and attentiveness, but I have some of the side effects like extremely dry mouth and little if any appetite. I am currently working during the day and take graduate classes at night and notice that the medication does not last the entire 12 hours, I've been taking it later in the day so that I'm able to concentrate in class. Since I began taking the medication I have seen an increase in acne, previously I had minor occasional breakouts."


"I used to feel like I ate rocks/glass when I ate food. Now I feel Nothing! Amazing medication. I still has IBS/Gallbladder disease/food intolerances but I am a lot better on this medication!"


"I just got Skyla put in yesterday. I had read all the other reviews on here and I really was prepared for the worst. Honestly, it was not nearly as bad as I anticipated. I was given a medication the night before to help dilate my uterus. I was given 3 regular dose Advil when I arrived at the doctor's office. It was painful when my doctor measured and then placed the Skyla but the pain was quick. I had a lot of cramping for the next hour but it was tolerable. I've never had children before and this was my first IUD experience. I just wanted to write this review to let people know that the experience is not bad for everyone and I would do the procedure again if needed to."


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


"I'm between weather this is soo bad or it's ok. I took two pills last night and my goodness I could not sleep the whole night I had very very bad pains in my stomach like very bad cramps:( I will never take this again because of the pain I felt was crazy bad I felt like I needed to be taken to the ER! But it did work in the morning at 6am but I'm still feeling cramps so I would not take it again"


"I had Irritable bowels ever since I was a young teenager and I just couldn't figure out what was exactly wrong I thought it was menstral related . I suffered for years until I was about 40 years old dealing with cramps in my bowels ( lower abdominal area) I realized after I had a hysterectomy it wasn't my endometriosis I still had this cramps feeling every day! :(
I started taking desipramine , a fiber pill (citrucel) and a probiotic (align) and I haven't had hardly any issues ! I am like 95 %better . Sometimes if I feel a little crampy I drink a morracan mint tea and it settles things down really quick . I got lazy one week about taking this regimen and I got so irritated . So I know it works and I'm sticking with it ."


"I was switched from microgestin to junel due to the former being out-of-stock at the pharmacy that my health insurance mandates I use.  Two and a half weeks of constant cramping will, I'm sure, make me less than pleasant when I demand my old birth control."


"I had the inplanon for over 5 years loved it! Did get acne and have put on weight not sure if the inplanon caused it. I had a regular periods every month. Recently had it removed hopefully conceive."


"This medication has literally given me my life back!  I struggle with depression and anxiety and for those out there reading this and looking to find someone you can relate to.  Let me tell you, you aren’t alone.  I started this drug about 6 months ago and when I first started, I, like you, came to this site looking for reviews to help me get through it.  Like other people on this board have mentioned it takes about 4 weeks to get used to it.  I had to take it in conjuncture to Clonepan because it made my anxiety a lot worse at first and I was super paranoid about it and having panic attacks.  Just breath.  You will make it through and the other side is life as it should be!  Stick with it it’s worth it !!"


"I recently switched from Microgestin 1/20 to the 1.5/30 (gynecologist suggestion). I noticed even less cramping, a less heavy period, HOWEVER, I did get a few cystic nodular pimples around my mouth. I am not sure if it's because of the increase in hormones or something else, however I will wait for a few more months (I've been on this new birth control for about 2 months) to see if it goes away/gets better. I may switch back to the 1/20 if the acne doesn't get better. I also noticed a few pounds of weight gain."


"This medication has completely changed my life.  I was on 45 mg. MSContin and 10mg. Percosets for breakthroughs and was breaking through every day, multiple times a day.  Then my doctor put me on Fentanyl patches (generic Duragesic), 25 mcg/hr., changed every 3 days.  Literally, my life changed overnight.  Pain is now down to "noise" level--yeah, I'm not 100% pain free, but no pain med can do that.  Now, I breakthrough maybe once over the 3-day period."


"I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder since I was 16 and now that I'm 25. I feel good to have found a medication that helps me. The only problem I have is the fatige. I could sleep alot on this medication. I guess thats still better than being depressed and irritable."


"My doctor put me on 10 mg Reglan last week for suspected gastroparesis.  I agree with others that the side effects definitely outweigh the potential benefits of this medicine.  Within an hour of taking it, I become extremely drowsy/weak and wanting to go to sleep.  I know that I would never be able to take this medicine before driving.  Then last night, three hours after taking it, I began to hallucinate and was afraid to fall asleep.  When I did fall asleep, I recall having weird dreams.  So, I decided to stop taking Reglan."


"Probably one of the worst decisions I have made in my adult life. I have always had great skin and on this medication it exploded with both random dryness and severe acne. My emotions were a roller coaster (more than just normal girl stuff). My sex drive plummeted. Constant spotting. Yeah It prevented me from getting pregnant probably because I was always on my period. All in all bad experience."


"I love spironolactone (I take 200mgs a day). I am 46 years old and started with cystic acne at 21 and tried everything: Roaccutane (hideous side effects - an evil drug), Dianette (severe nausea all the time), Retin A (great but burned my skin), oral antibiotics (caused severe and permanent hyperpigmentation).  So as you can see spironolactone is a breeze compared to the others I've tried.  I have gained a few pounds and have breakthrough spotting but I do not have a single spot (as long as I wash my make up off!).  It's been about 4 years and I dread the day my GP tries to stop them (I am in UK)"


" It worked! Despite the condom coming off while he was ejaculating during my ovulation window I am not pregnant. Plan b does work but it made my period 3 days late, so if you are late try not to worry."


"I have used implanon since january 17, 2008...At first I didn't feel anything and thought this was the best method of birth control...However as time progressed I have experienced a lot of negative symptoms....I have gained weight, my breast are constantly in pain, I have lower back pain and my mood swings have become the worst. It's gotten so bad because I get mad at the smallest things and can't control my attitude. I do believe this is one of the best methods of preventing pregnancy but just hate the side effects that come along with it."


"If I could give it -10 I would. I took this poison for over a year. It seemed to control the acid reflux but I had horrific side effects all of a sudden. I had a severe panic attack, felt very jittery, blurry vision, pressure in my brain, leg twitches, loss of appetite. I didn't know what was going on. I went to my former idiot doctor. It never even occurred to him that maybe it could be the Dexilant. Even after asking him if my symptoms could be caused by the Dexilant he said he was 99% sure they were due to me caring for my father who has Dementia. This moron didn't even bother to look up the side effects of the drug. Luckily even in the state I was in I decided to stop taking Dexilant and slowly I began to feel better. Nasty drug!"


"This is my second YI. I got my first back in feburary and took monistat 3 without any problems. Literally no itching or burning worse than my YI happened after I took it. I felt the symptoms coming on today so I decided to go to the store to get another monistat 3 kit. This time the applicator was a bit different... First time it was a little egg thing that I put on the applicator this time it was a cream filled applicator. An hour after inserting it and I am SO ITCHY mildly burning but so so so itchy. Honestly don't even know what to do."


"I started taking Contrave Decmber 8,  2017. I have a very stressful job and sit pretty much all day.  My weight is a problem and I need to lose around 120 lbs total.  Today, 2 and 1/2 months after starting Contrave, I am down 28 pounds!!! I no longer crave chocolate and I don't eat unless I'm hungry.  I haven't started a set exercise plan yet, have just been modifying my eating/sugar intake.   First month or so, I did not experience any negative side effects.  Have recently had some issues with constipation but I added back my morning cup of coffee and that has helped :)  Also have experienced a little bit of dry mouth but that helpes me drink more water, which, is a plus.  Overall I am very happy with these results!!"


"Started May 4th, at 165 lbs and I am 5'3 and today, May 9th i am at 158. Two pills a day, no more late night cravings, smaller portions at every meal, eating a lot of salads, not craving carbs as much or sweets. Great medicine"


"Honestly I've been on the pill and depo. Didn't like either. I've been on nexplanon going on 5 years and this is my second round. I haven't had a period in 5 years except I spotted for a day or two maybe twice during the five years. I honestly love it!! No side effects no acne no weight gain nothing."


"I have been on Spiriva for a few years.  It has helped my COPD.  I have noticed that I have suffered acid reflux more recently this past year.  I have also complained to my eye Dr. that my eyeballs feel swollen and must blink constantly because of some fluid in my eyes causing blurred vision.  The Dr. said he doesn't know why I am suffering with these symptoms.  Last January 2016 he did discover Glaucoma in one eye.  My next appt. is April 2017.  I will see what he has to say regarding my taking Spiriva.  I am waiting for my PCP to get back to me.  I never realized you MUST keep your eyes closed when taking this Med.  I pray it is NOT permanent damage to my eyes."


"I have been on Axiron for about 3 months. The first month I only did one pump and noticed a big difference in energy and clarity. My T levels were at 395. However, the effects began to wear off and the doctor asked me to go to 2 pumps instead. That helped for a while but I believe the fatigue is coming back. I don't want to use a lot of this. I need to get my levels checked again, but after a month and a half they had actually dropped quite a bit. I was also on steroid for a nasal issue which I am sure didn't help."


"So I switched from the pill which was great aside from having to remember to take it.

The NR isn't terrible but I will be switching back cause out how broken out its caused my face to be (i never, aside from the day my period starts, get breakouts) I don't like how much it has increased my discharge or the feel of it rubbing during intercouse. I was hoping this would help with decreasing the emotional effects that I was having with the pill but only a month in and it's the same. Also it wraps around my cervix making it very aggravating to remove or check its position."


"This medication is easy to use and allows you to eat foods high in vitamin k."


"Second implant (5 yrs). Severe headaches, permanent 5 year long period with a small relief each month, acne, hormonal problems, severe abdominal pain, my kidney stones were nothing compared to what the doctors thought were ovarian cysts bursting (its a side effect, another no one knew/told me/made info accessible).So much they don't know. Don't get it if you have depressive tendencies! Again no info I could find at the time! Mental health has been appalling; raging anger; mood swings; depression; anxiety. Don't feel pressure to get it or stay on it if it's not for you. It's your body! I pressured myself in fear of pregnancy ruining my life plan, but I'd rather deal with unwantedpreg. I want to be myself again without symptoms! Not recommend"


Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors

"I dreaded the side-effects and had NONE.  I had the intravenous infusion three days before Christmas 2011 and was scared that I would be flattened by the supposed side-effects like flu-like symptoms, bone ache and so forth and was pleasantly surprised.  I am having my second one in just ten days time and hopefully it will be a repeat of the first one."


"I have been taking Effexor XR for about 3 weeks now for depression and generalized anxiety disorder. For the first three days I felt a little dizzy but continued with the medication and the dizziness went away once my body got used to it. I get a dry mouth and have lost interest in sex and cannot reach orgasm. I do feel a lot more focused at work and can think more clearly. I do find if I don't take the medication right on time around 9am every morning I get a headache and agitated so I try to take it the same time everyday. Despite the dry mouth and loss of sex drive I will continue with it for another month or two and see what happens when I see my doc again."


"This medicine has given me my life back, after suffering from BPD, PTSD, manic depression and paranoia for years and trying every medication under the sun with no luck, Lamictal (at 200 mg a day) has made me feel alive again. I have energy, I can think straight, and my highs and lows are less frequent and the lows are much easier to deal with. It really feels like a miracle pill!"


"I am a 34 y/o female in the Army with post traumatic stress disorder and insomnia. I may take it around 9pm and wont fall asleep until 1 or 2 am. I will remain sleep but it makes me hungry. I have been observed eating while sleep."


"I took one dulcolax last night at about eleven p.m. I have taken it before with out the problems I am having now. By four a.m. I was having severe stomach cramping but, no bowel movement. I experienced horrible cramps, nausea, bloating that would not relieve for hours and now it is almost six p.m. the following day and while the cramping is much less I still have an upset stomach. I considered going to the emergency room last night but, I really could hardly move and knew there was little they could do for me there. I will not ever take this stuff again! The packaging says it is "gentle" Good lord, no it isn't!! I've taken mag citrate before and did not experience the type of cramping and pain I had for hours early this a.m. with dulcolax. Will never take this again, I am still not feeling well almost twenty four hours after I took the one pill."


"I had been on quite a few SSRIs and nothing helped my Major Depression and Panic Disorder. This was a last route medication for me and ended up working like a dream. I was eased onto the meds slowly which helped my doctor determine the correct dosage once I got used to it. I have experienced weight gain but the weight gain does not increase with the dosage. Also, I've had some acne flare ups. I take the medicine at night so the drowsiness doesn't ruin my day.
The side effects are a small price to pay for the exchange of a happy life again!
****If you have had trouble with Prozac, Zoloft, etc. please ask your doctor to try this medication next! I wish I had found this years earlier!****"


"My son was about 7 when he started taking Humatrope.  He was extremely small for his age and was not even on the growth curve. Although he had maintained his own small growth curve.  When that curve started to invert, we put him on this.  He gets a shot every night.  He is now 9 years old and growing at twice the velocity that he had been growing at.  He is still small, but he does not stand out so drastically among his peers.  We have been very happy with the results and plan to continue the medication."


"The medicine does it's job.  Although I experience severe dry mouth and nightmares.  Nightmares weren't listed as a side effect, but my doctor knew about it and didn't tell me when he prescribed it.  Nightmares are supposed to subside.  After 6 weeks I still have them a few times a week."


"Help! I took plan b on October 28th, 3 hours after an incident my bf and I had. I got a period about 2 weeks later on November 12th. It was lighter and I didn't have cramps but still it lasted the same amount of time they usually do. MY PERIODS ARE VERY IRREGULAR. I had a period on July 14th, August 15th, September 22nd. I did not have one in October.. my last period was the one after plan b on November 12th. I took a pregnancy test on November 28th and it was negative. I'm worried sick because I haven't gotten a period this month!! I don't know if plan b worked or not!! I plan to take a test as soon as I can but I'm worried. Is this normal?? "


"I have taken venlafaxine for roughly 4 years now.  It still works great for my anxiety.  I take 75mg twice a day and it nicely keeps obsessions and anxiety under control.  Keep your mind open and keep looking for the right med for you."


"This has helped tremendously internally!"


"This is my second year on this & I'm already about to get this taken out. I absolutely HATE IT. It doesn't make me gain weight at all.. while I was on this I probably gained about 5-10 pounds and thats it. I weigh 115. One thing I really hate about this is I'm constantly bleeding. I'll be bleeding for a month & be off for about 2 weeks or 1 & I'll be back on. Not just that, ever since I've been on this I've been sad, mad, every mood in the book. It works and everything but honestly I just think this is the worst birth control ever! (I didn't try every birthcontrol). I'm moving to the shot. This is the worst thing I can ever get. I hate it. I definitely don't recommended this. It makes me not even wanna have sex anymore. This thing is horrible!!"


"Had each knee done in 2009.The shots lasted close to five years with some minor discomfort coming back.I had two mores shots just today, hope it lasts another 5 years.Biggest problem blue cross in Mass won't cover it. 875 per shot!"


"Instructed by my dermatologist to use 2 x per day for up to two weeks.  Worked beautifully until I discontinued using it.  Not sure if that was her intention, to determine whether I needed a stronger dose or oral medicines for this problem.  I am very happy with the results, as long as I can continue using it."


"I honestly didn't think Abreva would work. I got the first signs of a cold sore on a Thursday morning and applied the Abreva immediately. On Friday, my cold sore blistered just a little bit and was somewhat itchy but the Abreva definitely kept the cold sore from getting any bigger and under control. By Saturday, I noticed that the blisters were already drying out and on the way to healing well. One Sunday, it was gone completely!

I'd definitely use Abreba again! Without it, I'd have to face a whole week or more of

enduring a very itchy, fast growing and ugly cold sore that would make me feel ugly and very self-conscious."


"I had Skyla put in a few days ago and so far it has not been painful at all.  I expected the procedure to hurt, but honestly I was just uncomfortable.  I took cylotec before the procedure so that my cervix would be dilated, so I think it helped a lot.   I would rate my pain level a 2 immediately after the procedure because it was not bad at all.  Its been a few days and I feel nothing!! I am so happy I tried this birth control honestly the Depo shot hurt more. I am so happy with the IUD so far.  I would definitely recommend."


"I started taking this medication last week and I've lost 5 pounds in the first week but I'm experiencing racing heart and nausea. If you can stand all these symptoms then it's a product for you."


"Well, I have been on Humira for 15 months now. At first, it was my only maintenance med for what was a Crohn's Disease diagnosis. About 9 months in, I had a flare that spread to virtually every system in my body. Joints, bladder and kidney, skin, liver, blood, brain, you get the picture. The dr bumped my dose to once a week, added prednisone and methotrexate. I'm well on my way to better.

Humira injections do cause discomfort. I let mine warm up to room temperature and plan an ice pack for after the injection. Helps a whole lot."


"So far I love it! I got put in the day before my period started. My period ended shortly as it has when I was on the pill and I haven't had any spotting at all so far. I do have feel as if I eat any and everything I can get my hands on which was never like me. I was always the person who could never finish their meal, but now I finish it and sometimes go for seconds.... and sadly it is starting to show. I have been feeling depressed (but I did feel this way on the pill too) and my moods can change so quick I'm afraid sometimes of how I'll handle something. I do feel super bloated all the time, and I have for the last couple weeks and I hope that that goes away either on it's own or by exercise."


"Within 3 days  of taking Crestor 10 mg I got terrible leg cramps, headaches , nausea and weakness. On top of that I had awful dreams that were scary. Within one week I gained 8 pounds.  I felt sick. Got off of it and just did exercise and watched my diet closely. Lost 16 pounds in a month and 3 months later my cholesterol went down from 350 to 169.  I feel so much better and  all the bad symptoms went away. Creator is not for everyone."


"Experienced diarrhea and muscle pain in my left arm.
Increased blood pressure rapid heart beat with only 1/2 doze of 3mg pill. Also felt chest pressure from tightness in chest.  Discontinued the drug after speaking with my dr."


"I have been on Ambien for almost a month now. This drug works maybe a 30 mins later but I do not stay sleep. It gives me maybe a good 6 hours of rest. I'm tired throughout the day but still can't fall asleep when I get home."


"I've suffered from Fibromyalgia since I was 16 years old (I'm now 24). My doctor put me on pain killers/ muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories, Cymbalta and the list goes on. I've been told to change my diet. Nothing truly worked. Then I saw the Lyrica commercial. Asked my Doctor about it and he told me he had heard great things about it. I was given a free week trial. The FIRST pill- I could tell a slight difference. It's day 7 for me and I LOVE this pill thus far. "


"I was on Alesse for many years, and it worked fine, hardly had any symptoms. At first it made me feel like I Wanted to be more intimate with my significant other, but after a few years of taking it I now have bad leg cramps, a very extremely low desire to Have any kind of sexual engagement with my partner and I gained about 20 pounds since I've been on it. I'm not blaming the birth control for the weight gain but I'm looking forward to getting my libido back."


"I wanted this to work out so badly, since it is this is the most effective birth control out there, but, I just couldn't tolerate the side effects. Spotting became unpredictable and lasted for several weeks at a time, mood swings started shortly after I got this in, and I gained a bit of weight (~5 lbs.) The deal breaker was the near complete loss of my sex drive, I didn't want the method of birth control to be "have no desire to touch your husband!"

It's been out for a bit longer than a week, and the spotting stopped in a couple days, the desire for my husband came back in just under a week, and my moods have leveled a bit; I feel more like myself again."


"Excellent product"


"Adipex is a very strong weight loss aid. An ex of mine took it with great results. Although if not taken as prescribed (late in the day), you will not sleep. It curbs your appetite sometimes she didn't even eat. As any medicine, it will affect each person differently."


"Great! Received IV drip and felt better in less than 6 hours after IV! Miracle!"


"I just started my first pack and I like it so far. I have noticed some spotting but overall it's great. I was on sprentec for a while which I loved then got switched to the ortho so I'm getting use to it"


"I had been on the Yasmin contraceptive pill for a few years with no problems but liked the idea of not having to worry about taking a pill every day. The first few weeks after having Nexplanon in we're great but then my skin got gradually oilier and spottier until I couldn't bare it any longer and 3 months later I had it removed..one week on and I'm waiting to get my clear skin back. It also gave me mood swings but by far the worst part was the acne."


"Bupropion saved my life. After spinning out of control with depression and anxiety and abuse of my prescribed benzo I switched drs and started Bup. Together with risperidone, I am calm, not depressed, happy, rational, functional. Feel better than I have in 15 years of dealing with depression. I'm not the old me now, I'm a better ME! I do experience insomnia, for which my doc prescribed a sleep aid. For my anxiety, I am now on a less addicting and less intense benzo. The combination is perfect me for. Add in regular, vigorous exercise & I'm in the best state of mind I've ever been in. For me, it was all about finding the right Dr. who listened and didn't try to tx me as BP, which I'm not. Zoloft, Effexor, lithium, lamictal, & depakote all failed me."


"After taking it for 4 days it made me sick to my stomach and caused great muscle pain in my left leg."


"I noticed severe constipation, dry mouth, and I was very forgetful after taking the medication."


"I am an 18 years old and I have been taking this medication since I was 14. It helps me alot with concentration in fact without it I don't know how I would have graduated high school. While taking Vvyanse I have experienced all of its side effects which includes low and high blood presure, nervousness, uncontrolable body movemnets, numbness of my left side of the body etc., mostly because some days I would take it and then didn't take it for like a week so your body would have to get used to it all over again. I just recently had a baby and now am back on it again since I plan on going to College. "


"I have ankylosing spondylitis, it was so bad that I couldn't get out of bed and just got worse. Started Enbrel, it would work for about 4-5 days then stop. I took it weekly. I stopped and tired Humira for 6 months and it didn't work at all, so went back to Enbrel and its working like it used to. It doesn't make the pain totally go away but it is bearable. Can't comment on price because I receive it from the VA."


"I am a 52 year old male with mild erectile dysfunction. Was prescribed 20mg but decided to start slow with 5mg. Made a huge difference and feel like a new person. Mild congestion but well worth it!"


"I had unprotected sex and we weren't sure if he had finished or not inside of me. So I started freaking out. I'm still young and I defiantly don't want a kid. I'm not on birth control either! (Bad I know!) anyways I took plan b 14 hours after sex and I was so stressed out for days. My period is irregular so I never know when it's suppose to come! And I was reading a bunch of reviews and a lot of girls said they got their period on the 5th day after taking Plan B. I had back pains and mood swings BUT NO PERIOD. On the 5th day after plan B I expected to wake up and see my period... But I didn't. I was so sad/stressed. Later on that day I was at the park and BAM I got my period! It saved my life and I'm so happy I took it."


"I've been taking 10 mg/day for over five years.  It controls my blood pressure well and I have had no adverse reactions."


"Was not happy with result initially as I was following dosage on label. After switching to dosage recommendation found here and elsewhere the change was almost immediate and greatly improved. I get attacks averaging once a year usually brought on during weight loss when I don't keep up with the amount of recommended liquids."


"wow I cannot believe the negative comments.. well i was on many different medications, i mean from oxycontin, opana, dilaudid u name it i been on it. I have chronic back pain had 2 surgeries. I personal love the medication it works for me and as far as having nausea absoulety none at all. Every one say they got nausea, maybe u need to start out at a low dose. I am on the highest dose and i love it. yes the film does stick but its not bad to me.so to anyone out there i suggest everyone is different and give it a try. idk maybe it works best for different kinds of pain. when i was on oxycontin now that made me nausea and felt like i could't breathe.."


"This drug works well for back pain when used in conjuction with diclofenac 75mg. I would recommend this for pinched nerves severe back pack/injury or any chronic muscle pain/spasm. When used in conjuction I noticed results in 2 days. I would not use this for long term pain or chronic long term issues. This should only be used for a maximum of 2 weeks or until the issues the medication was perscribed clears up, any longer than you should look for further issues."


"I liked how focused it made me however if I was agitated it made it worse"


"Works wonders for morning sickness!  I had no appetite and was losing too much weight.  This does the trick...I feel human again!"


"The first couple months I was on this, it was perfect. It regulated me as I never really had a regular cycle maybe 4 times per year. Then I became so emotional, constantly crying and depressed. As prior to taking this I would've never let anyone se me cry. I had increased anxiety. I also had went from hardly any periods to 2 periods per pack. I guess it was thought as me making up for lost time. I never had any trouble with acne, a few breakouts before my cycle but very minimal. No weight gain."


"So I've had two shots so far

 My period has been heavy when I get it and I spot all month long. I've experienced depression in the past and it seems like it's gotten worse on the shot. I've actually attempted suicide since I've started the shot.my sex drive is crap and my mood swings are crazy. I don't recommend this shot to anyone"


"Gabapentin has really helped my nasty restless legs.  Before gabapentin life was awful due to the side effects of Mirapex (for 10 years).  In any case, I would have given gabapentin a higher score, but it is only half the reason I now sleep through the night. Another medicine called trazodone when taken with gabapentin does the trick.  My wife reports that my legs still do their crazy movements at night but I am sleeping the whole time.  Current dose is 900 mg about 3:00 pm and 300 mg. at bedtime with the trazodone."


"I am a 53 yr old male, who worked in the timber industry for 35yrs now. I had 6 knee surgeries to a single injury in 1986. On 7/16/2012 I had my Right Knee replaced with a Stryker Triathlon Knee Replacement. I am working on getting my strength back. I was put on Diclofenac at 75mg 2 times a day, which sent me to the rest room 20 times a day. My Surgeon changed me to Nabumetone along pain medication almost like Lyrica (insurance would not pay for Lyrica. Since I have regained strength and am progressing faster than if I was on an OTC pain medicine. 6 weeks post op and walking pretty well and mostly pain free."


"I have been taking Topamax for about 2 full months now. I had a sudden onset of massive Migraine's.In one month alone I went 27 days with Migraine's, I was a nonfunctioning person. I ended up in the hospital for 2 days finally,I started taking this wonder drug!I have only had 2 bad Migraine's in 2 months.I am able to go to work and most of all function at home.I do find however that I have memory issues, and speech issues, ThankGod everyone around me is very understanding and we laugh about it."


"Initially I had a decrease in my depression but after a year or so it seemed to do nothing however I had a lot of outside factors that could have caused that.
I didn't realize until after I got off how much it made me sweat. Sometimes to the level of embarrassment. I also had severe dry mouth and constantly had to drink huge amounts of water. Gained a lot of weight. AS soon as I got off it I started losing weight, was never thirsty and stopped sweating. I think compared to the side affects it wasn't worth it to me."


"I've only been on it for two weeks, but so far I LOVE IT! It has helped clear up my acne, and I've noticed that I've started losing weight in what seems like all the right places! The only down fall is I've been spotting this whole time, which is a pain since I just recently started a new relationship! I'm sure that will change over time. If things change I will definitely let you know, but so far all I can say is HOORAH LO LOESTRIN FE!!"


"After a year on Reclast, my bone scan results are: -3.7 to -2.5 so yay it's working for me!"


"I've had chronic migraines for around 12 years. I take 5mg and it usually takes care of my headache. It makes my neck ache a little but the relief from the horrible symptoms of a migraine are well worth it. I've tried other triptans but this one works best. The generic is very inexpensive."


"Causes edema. I lost 30lbs in less than 3 months after going off Actos."


"I had a very good experience on Tegretol. I had no side effects and was feeling better within three days. On top of stabilizing my moods it also reduced my fibromyalgia pain by a good 90% (which also helped my mood a lot).  The only reason I stopped taking it is because I'm working on becoming pregnant and it does have some nasty side effects there.  The new medicines I'm on don't work quite as well and I plan to go back on Tegretol as soon as I have a child."


"Been on many other migraine meds, this by far is the most effective, fastest working and no side effects."


"Paxil CR has made a great impact on my quality of life.  I started menopause and was dealing with stressful family health issues, both beginning at the same time.  I begin to suffer from panic attacks and was overly sensitive to EVERYTHING.  I was taking Lexapro which did not help at all.  Paxil CR has been a God send for me."


"I started the nuvaring almost a month ago and a week in I was very emotional. My boyfriend told me he noticed I acting different and I actually had a break down one night. Lucky for me he also helped me realize it was my bc. I was hoping it would increase my sex drive but it's the same."


"I have never had a worse experience on a birth control before- but don't get me wrong, for some people this works! But for me, my moods were totally insane, completely up and down and I could not control my emotions. I felt constantly depressed and my sex drive basically disappeared. On top of that, I gained 15 pounds and COULD NOT LOSE IT. I was the heaviest I've ever been on this birth control. I really can't stress enough how much it affected me mentally though, it was intense and everyone around me had to go through my terrible mood swings and anger too. I personally could not recommend this to anyone because of the side affects I endured. I got the implant out 7 months later and lost the weight I had gained and started feeling better."


"I started Adipex 5/1/12 at 354 pounds. I have no metabolism but my thyroid levels are normal so no amount of exercise worked for me.  It would keep me from gaining but couldn't lose any.  In two months I'm down to 344 but I can tell it is starting to not work as well.  I think I'm about to stop weekends so my body doesn't get used to it so much.  I'm hoping to get back to around 200 where I was in high school and very fit."


"I have had toenail fungus for close to 20 years. Unfortunately when I was younger trauma to one of my toenails caused it to fall off. The fungus took over that nail and then spread to four other toes. For years I hid my feet embarrassed and ashamed of them. I decided it was time to get my blood test and start the medication. Well today I started my third month of my 90 day prescription. I should have done this sooner. My toes no longer hurt, the skin on the bottom of my feet is smooth instead of rough and scaly. But the best part of all is that I'm seeing CLEAR NAILS. One baby toe is almost completely grown out. Another is half way there. My two big toes are still mostly infected but new growth is definitely visible. Beyond excited!!"


"I gained close to 40 pounds in 4 - 5 months and felt like a zombie. Went from 100 mg to 400 mg and felt worse with each increase. I have been off the medicine for at least 4 months now and I am still trying to lose weight. Have only lost 8 pounds."


"it does takes away anxiety but with cost of lack in libido and supresses all the feelings....very very hard to get off this med....."


"I got this put in at the beginning of Decemeber and I have been bleeding since I've 2 days after I had it put in. Its very heavy with very heavy clotting and serious cramps. I would not recommend this BC to anyone."


"This is my first pregnancy and have been in the hospital twice and I'm only 8 weeks.  I have never been so sick in my entire life,  one day I vomited for 16 hours every 15.minutes. Finally this was prescribed to me and I started the night I was discharged and I have not even felt sick one bit. I was doing over the counter b6 and unisom but it did not seem to work for some reason.  This pill is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone else who is suffering as bad as I did."


"Clonidine was the first medication I tried after being diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 14. I took it for about a month, and it heavily sedated me, thereby helping my minor tics. I took it again for about a week when I was 21, 0.1mg prescribed by another neurologist. This second time, I did not notice any sedation, but instead experienced day of constipation, so I discontinued."


"I've been on this birth control for my acne. And my experience has been really bad. Within the first couple days my forehead has broken out terribly there's a ton of little bumps a crossed it. I usually never get pimples on my forehead. I started also breaking out around my mouth. I hardly get acne there maybe a little. My jaw breaks out really bad. This gave me major anxiety to be in public. I hate going out on dates Bc of my face. Although my face looks terrible it kinda helped clear up my shoulders and chest. It definitely made my chest break out more but slowly cleared up. But , my face being so bad I am now switching to the big guns of acne control. Can't wait to see those results."


"Y'all missed the whole point of this question! It was about that rashes. I use the xulane patch too my first time on bc and yes it does leaves rashes and itch the only thing I can think of now is to not put it in the same spot as last time. I just wonder if the rash is ever going to go away"


"I've been on Seasonique for almost 2 years now - it has drastically reduced my sex drive but I thought the convenience of the 4 periods per year was worth it.  However, I am now on almost week 2 of my current period and having some serious issues with heavy bleeding - it may be my age (38) or other reasons but at this point, I'm ready to find other options."


"was prescribed this for tremor (due to seizure Rx). had been on primadone, which worked well. atenolol caused dizziness, extreme vertigo, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, chest pains, tightness when trying to breathe. I fainted. MD told me to go off it. After fainting, called pharmacist. He said "get to the ER" and "why are you on a beta blocker?" I didn't know atenolol was a beta blocker. Not supposed to take those due to having asthma. In ER, my BP was 188/88. Usually is around 123/63. Took 4 hours, IV etc. to get BP down to 158/78. They released me but said to tell MD never to put me on betas again."


"I have adhesions from a gallbladder surgery and diarrhea and lower abdominal cramping as a result. My doctor prescribed Viberzi to help control these two symptoms. Within ONE HOUR after taking my FIRST 75mg dose, I had developed PANCREATITIS & was hospitalized for two days. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION - especially if you do not have a gallbladder! If you experience abdominal pain while on this medication go to the hospital! Shame on you, Viberzi. Your product is trash."


"Had a painful UTI, after about 24 hours on the Nitrofurantoin, the UTI wasn’t as intense. I am extremely sensitive to medications and haven’t had much of an issue so far. Mind you, I drink about 65-80 oz of water every day, maybe that helps.

Have had a little headache and I am sort of fatigued, otherwise no issues."


"I've been on Implanon for 18 month now and booking for removal next week. I must admit! The convenience is awesome! Not have to worry about pills, antibiotics affecting your pill or really anything to do with inconveniencing myself was pretty spectacular!
Cons: some spotting first 3 months
Pros: super cheap, super effective, super convenient!
I really thought I'd last till end of my third year and perhaps get another one but last few months I had 2 weeks periods every month. Gained 15lbs. Not much sex drive. I want to go back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen!"


"Lexapro has worked well for me. My anxiety and depression are about gone.  The first 2 months were pretty bad and I almost quit many times but am glad I didn't. Side effects included night sweats, tinitus, headaches, insomnia, sexual issues, dizzzyness......  Most of this has resolved now after 3 months. Adding a b complex with folate and omega 3 seems to have helped me. This is a very good drug for anxiety and depression but you'll need to be very patient, and struggle thru the initial side effects"


"This has been the best pain medication I have found to relieve my back and neck pain. It has been the hardest to get prescribed. I do not understand why other then the stigma it has for the maintenance use for herion addicts. Unlike other pain medicines it does not get me high and it last more then a day and I can can get by on less then ten mg a day."


"Lifesaver. I have dry eyes and
Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis Thygeson. These drops give me relief within seconds. I don't use them every day I only use it as an emergency treatment (almost like an asthma inhaler). But when I do use it, boy does it give me relief. I'm very thankful for these drops. I tried everything else under the sun in terms of over the counter drops and none work as well as Pazeo."


"I've been on Dilantin since 1979 and have not had any issues or seizures."


"I gained 6 lbs on this pill in one month. It was a last ditch effort at the bc pill for me. I have tried many others with many issues. My acne I get on my chin is ok hasn't gotten better or worse. No nausea or stomach pains. I have had some issues with constipation on this pill also. I have been having issues sleeping on this pill. Hey I'm not pregnant though..."


"I take 5mg as needed at bedtime. I have severe muscle spasms, shoulder, and neck pain. I use aleve, advil, and diclofenac and still have pain. I was waking up with terrible tension headaches before using this. I only take it when I feel the tension at night.
Regarding other comments on addiction - I have taken benzos for YEARS (on/off and never daily) and I have never become addicted. If taken only as needed, it's a great drug."


"Like the other users I had absolutely no sex life for two reasons : like them my heavy period came back lasting longer than before with LARGE clots and my sex drive was pretty much non existent.  I was switched to apri today so we will see how that goes!"


"I've used this drug for years until the recall. I take 175 mcg. I switched to Synthroid and it was "just okay." I missed Levoxyl. After I learned Levoxyl returned to the market I requested to be placed back on it.  I've had several problems with my TSH levels being too low (0.02 and 0.03!) meaning that my dose is too high."


"On 4th shot cannot not tell anything. Not worth the money. Better off to get a shot every 2 weeks ( a lot better) a least I felt better."


"Ruptured tendons..."


"I started sprintec in February of 2016. It  was the first time I had taken any birth control. Let me tell you, those first 2 months were absolutely hell. I had the worst migraines, mood swings and depression. I was a hot mess. My period went from 3 days to 4 and I was miserable, after my 2nd pill pack and I started on my 3rd it got a lot better. I no longer had the mood swings, or the depression, nor did I bloat as bad as I did prior to BC. I continued to take it and it did clear up my acne. I only gained 4 pounds which went to my boobs and butt. A year later and now I barely have cramps and my period is super light, even with being a day longer. Definitely stick with it and try it out. I have no regrets!"


"Did not help depression and caused involuntary facial expressions even after stopping. Permanent... raised sugar diabetic???"


"This has been an excellent drug for my husband who has had an illeostomy since 1965 and then several years ago developed atrial fib.  Because it metabilizes higher in the digestive tract, it was expecially good for someone without a colon.   Unfortunately, Glaxo has decided to discontinue these capsules since Mar 2008.  We are upset with them and cannot find an equivalent the metabalizes higher in the digestive tract."


"It is safe to say that after reading these reviews I was more than a bit anxious about the whole process.Eventually I decided that until you try then you'll never know; everyone is different.

It was the insertion process that had me worried, but it turns out the discomfort is only very temporary. I've had worse (and longer lasting) pains from sports injuries.

The whole process took about 10 mins and, during the application, it felt like having very bad period pain cramps. After the process was complete it just felt like mild period aching, nothing unmanageable. One day of carefully taking paracetamol and ibuprofen was enough. Enough so that I was able to go to my sports training! Since then there has only been mild aches every now and then"


"I am 55.  In my 30's had mostly diarrhea, some constipation for five years.  At 49 started diarrhea for 4 1/2 years.  Started CPAP(night breathing device) and turned to mostly constipation.  After 1 1/2 years of constipation OR less often diarrhea the second day of 145 Linzess I was regular for four whole days in a row.  Then my samples ran out.  Took ten days with my gastro and insurance company to get more.  A miserable ten days to be sure.  This time the next day it worked.  No diarrhea so far.  Mostly firm and finally getting some color to my stools.  A miracle I say.  Will do daily until I feel comfortable to use randomly."


"If you give this a try hang on for a possible wild ride!!!  I had the most vivid night terrors of my life.  They were so real I was soaked in sweat.  Several times I felt like I woke up from a dream but was actually still dreaming and that was beyond disorienting.  I also managed to send some bizarre texts and did a few things around the house, I am still not sure what all I did...  If you do try this I strongly suggest you don't do this sleeping alone, you may need someone to keep you safe in case you experience some of these.  I understand not everyone does and I don't know the real frequency, but safety should definitely be a key consideration."


"Was prescribed Advair two weeks ago and haven't used Albuterol inhaler since. I notice easier breathing immediately and had absolutely no side affects. I don't even taste it but always rinse anyway. Before using Advair, I was using the inhaler about 10 times a day and still was out of breath when I tied my boots. After two days on Advair, I was able to attend a Packers game and walked about a mile to the stadium and another 60 flights of stairs to get to our seats. I would have been dead the week before. I'm hoping I can continue using this medication without getting any side affects. I have my life back and want to keep it that way."


"I see a difference with 5 hours later but I have a kidney stone with gut wrenching pain and a uti

Hoping tonight gets better"


"I have been on oxycontin 40mg for 2 months. It does not relieve my pain 100% but has given me some relief. I see a pain doctor. He started me on suboxone so that I would not get addicted to it. The worse side effect that I have noticed is the itching and nothing works. My doctor decreased me from taking the oxycontin 40mg three times a day to twice a day but he has put me on dilaudid 4mg every 8 hours as needed for pain. My pain had decreased when I was taking the 40mg 3 times a day. When I was taking it twice a day when the weather would change I would be in so much pain that I would have to go get an injection of demerol 100mg and phenergan 50mg. I was in a car accident over 8 yrs ago and had several injuries, but I still suffer from bracial plexus"


"It works really well for my fibromyalgia/arthritis pain but had side effects due to aspirin."


"Suboxone changed my LIFE. This drug is in a class by itself. I have had no real side effects while on this. I've been on it for almost a year and never have the cravings to use anything. If you are looking into treatment take this route not methadone. I was on methadone 4 years and found myself relapsing all the time. If you are currently on methadone and are wanting to switch talk to your doctor because Suboxone will throw you into a severe withdrawal when taking after, even days after your last dose. They will know how to do it. Overall this drug has single-handedly changed my path to becoming sober. Good luck in your recovery!"


"I've taken this for well over a year now and I haven't experienced any problems at all! Light spotting in the first 3 months which is a side effect but then never again after that. My period is very regular and has began to lighten up drastically from what it use to be. No weight, skin, or mood changes. To those who it doesn't work for, everyone reacts differently. For me it's been awesome and I plan on staying with it!"


"Do NOT take unless without at least TWO litres of water with and after taking or you'll be in agony with cramps and nausea. I take two around 9pm and drink as much water as I can afterwards until I go to bed. They usually kick in around 2am where I will wake up and know I need to go. No messing on the toilet, once there I'm done within 10-15 of non stop 'runs'. No pain or cramps which is because of the water I've had with them. Made the mistake of taking two with just a little bit of water once and was in the worse pain I've ever felt before. Pain was worse than labour and even made me cry for it to stop (no joke). That's why it's imperative that a LOT of water is drank with and after taking these laxatives."


"My blood pressure is down, but I've gained almost 10 lbs in 1 year and I don't sleep well. Also always feel tired and feel pressure in my chest.
And after reading all the comments I found I have a few more that didn't even occur to me until now. My daughter mentioned that It seemed Iike I developed a nervous tick of scratching my arms....well...they're itchy!....also have a strange dry cough that happens randomly.
I'm 42. 5,2" tall and currently weigh is  133lbd....almost 10 more than last year. I have a physically demanding job and I'm on my feet all day. I excercise 3-4 days a week. Zumba and sculpting class. For awhile I was running around 3-4 miles a day. I eat very healthy. All meals are home cooked and I eat clean."


"I had mild anxiety and intermittent depression. I always pushed through and never thought of medicines. My girlfriend suggested I speak to a psych and I started Cymbalta. In 10 days I had no more intrusive thoughts talking me down, making me stressed, guilty. After 9 weeks, I'm a new man. Small things don't worry me, I am patient and calm driving, I don't wake up for toilet then stay awake worrying, my relationship is closer, I'm nicer to be with. Cons? My libido decreased and climax is harder to achieve (but more intense). The medicine felt strange (out-of-body) at first but I got used to that. I drink more water, I yawn in the afternoons, I grind my jaw a bit, get breathless, mild headaches some days. But my life is much better with this medicine."


"I have been taking Pristiq for 2 months now and I love it. I had a breakdown in my Doctors office. I hadn't been sleeping well and was really depressed. He said you need something to help you now. Within 2 days all the waterworks had stopped and I felt better. I take 50mg first thing with my breakfast. Never had any side effects at all. Went back after 2 weeks and told him I was feeling better but still not sleeping well. He gave me Xanax for anxiety small dose 0.25mg before bed and now I sleep great. I wake up feeling a little tired but do a few stretching exercises and eat a good breakfast that gives me energy for the day. I feel better than I have in 2 years. God Bless You All."


"I was currently taking Soma and Norco 7.5/325 for 2 minor herniated disc and a slipped disc. Also receiving epidural spinal injections. Muscle spasms were so bad that I ended up in the ER twice in four days. Full body spasms. While there, I had an IV both times of Robaxin, along with other strong pain meds. I just switched from the Soma since I actually felt relief. This is the first night, feeling a little pain, but not as bad as my normal pain level of 6. I am optimistic that this will bring some relief. Time will tell. It seems to work miracles for some and not others, for me, it definitely helped in the hospital, so I'm giving it a chance."


"The first 2 months I took this pill I wanted OFF and a new OB. I had horrible side effects from nausea to paranoid anxiety.
I've now been on it for 6 months and love it. I have no side effects, no periods (continuous use) and I have endometriosis and NO cramping! It's a literal miracle.
I have had a 10lb weight gain, but I have also recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have stopped working out where as before I attended Zumba weekly to bi-weekly. I don't know what to attribute it to for sure but I would say maintaining your weigh would not be difficult even if it was the pill.
If you're googling because you were just put on it and are freaking out, I suggest pushing through. This has worked miracles for me!"


"I'm a young woman in my early twenties with moderate acne.  If you're just starting Retin-A, STICK WITH IT  I started using Retin-A (0.01%) every night in December of 2013.  I was very frustrated because my acne became worse for about 2 months.  However, I stuck with it and by July 2014 my acne had noticeably decreased.  It is now October 2014 and I've been getting compliments on how great my skin looks!  For the first time in years, I don't feel like I have to wear liquid foundation to cover up my acne. If you experience flaking, remember that moisturization is key if you're using Retin-A!"


"I had used Xanax early on after my diagnosis of panic disorder.  It definitely worked, but was a rollercoaster ride.  Klonopin lasts much longer, and I need less of it to work.  I'm not worried about dependence since I use it as needed (PRN) and only 0.125 mg.  It definitely works great for me.  It is a bit constipating at times."


"I just started talking it today, I have a ton of energy. I will post later with updates"


"I've tried almost all the anxiety medications out there. Paxil and Effexor XR are the only ones that work on me."


"Side effects of injection include very sore arm effectively rendered useless.  Muscle aches and joint pain without relief would not allow me to sleep.  Fatigue and back pain plus headache contributed to an overall miserable night and day.  I don't know how long this will continue, it has been 36 hours.  This vaccine requires at least two days off work and should be accompanied by a good narcotic."


"So, I've been battling alcoholism for years - about a decade (and I'm 30). I've been to 2 treatment centers and an outpatient program with the longest stint of sobriety being a solid 109 days. I've gone from being 100% alcohol dependent in my mid 20's to sober to recreational drinking, but almost always I'll end up on benders or sneaking it. Anyway, I tried Antabuse about 6 months ago and took it for about a month...drank on it repeatedly and got so sick each and every time so I just stopped taking the pills. I'm talking beet red face and neck and chest, heart  racing, etc. I'm back on it now. I started yesterday and vowed to take it for 6 months."


"I was put on Victoza as a stand alone med by my endo for type 2 diabetes and weight loss.  I am about 200 pounds overweight and she felt like this would finally help me get started with the weight loss.  Third week I had lost 8 pounds and sugars were great but got sick as a dog after eating certain foods.  We are talking projectile vomiting and serious cramping that almost sent me to the ER several times.  I think the idea behind this medicine is a good one, but for some people, like me, the delayed gastric emptying is going to cause to many problems to reap the long term benefits.  What a bummer."


"This patch works great. One tip when using it is make sure you constantly have food in your stomach. In the morning on an empty stomach it can make you feel sick. "


"the worst drug I have ever taken in my life! Withdrawal is hard work. I googled and read more about Cymbalta Discontinuation Syndrome Food and Drug administrationon "


"Overall, the patch is easy and convenient- especially for a college freshman. I was on the patch for about 4 months and my only complaints are that I struggled placing it somewhere that it didn't get wrinkled and gross from fabric, I was more emotional (could also be stress from college), and I did gain about 10 pound within those four months. I'm also a runner and swim occasionally, so I have to limit my time in the pool and can't sweat too much because I'm scared the patch will fall off. Otherwise, it cleared up my acne, lessened my symptoms from my period, and my period is perfectly regulated and only last about 4 days. Definitely recommend. I found the best place to put the patch is on the upper arm."


"I was put on this birth control to get rid of my ovarian cysts. They would never dissolve and after having surgery to remove them they grew back. My doctor suggested this pill and it seems to be working. The side effects are my breast are extremely sensitive. Unfortunately I have had two periods a month on this, however they are light and short. I used to have really bad cramps and migraines. Those have gone away as well. I seem to have lost a ton of weight since starting this pill."


"I was diagnosed with anxiety after having several bouts of severe anxiety and many lesser episodes. On two occasions I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. My Dr. prescribed Lexapro. I don't recall any of the issues other describe and after two weeks or so, I was feeling much better and only sufferred from a few smaller episodes. I have noticed that heavy drinking is a disaster while on this med and results in me feeling ill and panic. I have had no other side effects. I did run out for nearly a week once and did feel some negative feelings coming on. I do not plan to run out ever again. I have taken 10 mg since the start three years ago. Avoid heavy drinking!"


"Excellent med. Tolerate perfectly. Very much improves my glucose intolerance. Improves my mood as well and high improvement in my quality of life."


"I had surgery on my eyelids (bilateral ptosis). The instructions given from the doctor's office were to use Bacitracin on my lids 2x day to prevent infection to the incisions. Additionally, I was to put some INTO MY EYES before bed. BIG mistake!! My eyes began to itch uncontrollably but, not on the incision but in my eyes and edges of my lids. I used ice packs to calm it down, warm towels etc. On day 5 I woke up with my eyes so tightly closed and red that it frightened me. A week after surgery I saw a specialist at the office and he switched ointments. Uh uh. I took matters into my own hands and began taking Benadryl to counteract the obvious allergic reaction. I googled the medicationand it states: Bacitracin should NOT BE PUT IN EYES!!"


"Started on 37.5mg for a month. First two days were only side effects - I was a little jumpy, couldn't keep legs still, and had insomnia. That went away in 48 hours. Then it shifted to making me sleepy and fairly relaxed. However, I still had breakthrough anxiety crying and didn't feel much change in depression.

Decided to up the dose and have been at 75mg for a while now. No side effects. This dose has obliterated my anxiety and helped with depression. All I feel is calm and relaxed. I am more outgoing and happy. Only thing I noticed, like so many others, is that it is tough to miss a dose. But, don't let that dissuade you from trying it. It really has been a miracle for me."


"Instead of giving me pain relief, it did the opposite. I went from moderate pain to severe pain. It has been 6 weeks and my condition is worse then before the injection. I'm hoping it wears off soon. When the PA gave me the injection, some fluid came out of my knee."


"Another drug that does nothing for me at all. *sigh* I have fibromylgia and chronic back pain so I need a drug with some kick to it...this one does NOT."


"Terrible, yes it will stop your diharea but it will just hold everything in & make you nauses & after the pill wears over? Diharea again!!"


"I started on this medication on March 6th.   To date I have lose 7 lbs, but I have not gone over the 0.6 dose.   I take the injection at night to minimize side effects.  I am mostly more thirsty and some burping and fatigue but manageable.  I will take the next level this week and see what it works re the side effects.   I am keeping to 1350 calories a day when I can as it is unhealthy to eat under 1200.  Mostly veg, protein and carbs.   I am also doing 4 hours of exercise a week.   This medication is not a wonder drug as I worry about continued use and the thyroid issue, it is certainly a jump start to make you more aware of what you are eating and the need for exercise.   With all this combined I aim to lose another 55 lbs."


"I got pregnant with this. Don't think it can't happen."


"Unfortunately side effects for me have been horrific! I was on 800mg for 6 weeks. I wound up with nausea, extreme hoarseness,  high blood pressure,  fatigue with sleeping 18 to 22 hours a day. Took a turn for the worse and liver enzymes were high. Could not eat or drink water for 5 days and lost 30 pounds. I was off the Votrient for a month and just started back on half the dose; 400mg. So far so good one evening of slight nausea. Other than a little more tired it appears to be better."


"I've been on this medication for 5 months now. Had to get on bc for my abnormal periods. With this I haven't had a period since January. I notice if I skip a day I may have a day a spotting but that's cool with me. I do experience some mood swings so that's about the only thing I don't like. Other than that I plan to keep this."


"I have been in construction for 42 yrs. And was in two car accidents in which I suffered broken neck. Upper vertebra broken. Lower back broken.
 At a point I could no longer work thru the day. I need to still support my family as I'm not ready to give up.
I have used Oxcodone . 10mg. Low dosage's .
Without these medication I would not have been able to continue with a productive life. This overdose issue I get. But there are those of us that actually have benefited greatly from it.. Without I wouldn't even be able to make it a few hrs a day and end up in bed.."


"After over a period of 17 years and trying a crazy amount of other drugs I'm happy to report I feel better then I have in 25 years. It's been a struggle. I'm no longer suicidal which is a miracle. I feel good but not flat. No side effects. Anyway good stuff. Perfect for me."


"I'm reading all of your reviews please stay strong and believe in this drug. I was one of the first people on it. I started out on low doses, my Dr slowly worked me up to the max of 100 mg 2x a day. It has been a life saver for me. I am suffering from other problems now, my fibromyalgia had become? Lupus 4 years ago. And I fear it is progressing to even worse. Savella helps. I had to miss 2 doses for a procedure and thought I was going to die from the pain."


"I'm 42 years old. I'm diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I've been stuggling with this for 20 years, right after I had my son. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I went to the doctor because I had constant bleeding, spotting, cramps, etc. The Gyn made some tests and I got polyps on my upper side of the uterus. I went for a surgery, and got them out. To reduce the bleeding, the Dr prescribed Provera. Took the pill as told, got my period after 7 day. First days were fine, but the last 5 of them were heavy, with clots...It was horrible, but it helped me to stop the abnormal bleeding. Before the treatment, I was very depressed, just by not been able to leave the house without a pad,was stressful. Now, I can have my life back!"


"l took this and it help me sleep because I had brain surgery to stop my seizures and all others have side effect of possibly causing seizure so I took this one. The one bad side effect was that I was alone and depressed and it made my depression worse.  So don't take this if you r depressed.  I was just glad my son  phoned me"


"This medicine is absolutely terrible. After three months of using it my hair has fallen out so much so that I can see my scalp very visibly and it's very very embarrassing. I stopped taking it and am now considering a copper iud. No more hormones for me."


"I decided to try this birth control to regulate my menstrual. I'm finishing up the first pack now and I will not continue. I knew it was these pills making me feel depressed. I noticed it when I was on my 2nd week of pills. I was crying and feeling down and everything for no real reason, & over petty stuff. The first thing I thought of was the pills. So decided to research it and see that I'm not the only one. I just got over depression and definitely don't want to go back down that road. I'll rather deal with my menstrual over this feeling."


"I take 3 pills twice a week. I take it at bedtime with TONS of water. The stomach cramps wake me up about 4am. They are fairly severe. Sometimes I get shakes or cold sweats. By 7am I have a BM but usually experience chills. I do get bad diarrhea for several hours after the first BM but after this my bloated stomach feels 1000X better and I can eat again. I get so blocked up that I don't wanna eat and feel sick. So yes there are side effects but they don't last forever and they are bearable. I'll take it again."


"It's a miracle. Quitting after 50 years of smoking was actually easy."


"After having shingles (most painful experience I have ever had) the nerve pain came and I didn't know there was help. Went to follow up appointment and they gave me Gabapentin and IT WORKED.  I am still on and will stay on as I feel it is allowing me to live life. I have been out of work after 2 weeks in hospital and the recovery with nerve pain since 8-6-14 returning 11-13-14 and saying prayers I can live normally. Side effects worth the good effects. Remembering a word, stuttering, dizzy, blurred vision I'll take it over the pain any day. I am NOT a medicine person, it is the only medicine I take at 57 years old. Worth a try for sure."


"I am a 44yr old male recently diagnosed with MG since Nov 2015. I take 90mg 4 times a day. My medication generally last 5hrs. My MG inolves slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, teary eyes, difficulty pushing food around with my tongue, a very weak bite. My medication usually kicks in after 45m-1hr. My speech improves although there is still a hint of a slur but much improved. Swallowing improves but still not confident. I always have water just in case. No diarrhea at all and only once I had severe cramps but that was while I was adjusting my dosage. Taking 2  60mg tablets will probably do that. Have vomited once but I function much better while on Mestinon."


"I have been using estrace vaginal cream for 8 weeks now, about 2 x a week and it has helped my vaginal dryness and prolapse but I am experiencing side effects, anxiety, bleeding gums, joint and muscle pain, problems with sleep. I don't like this. I am going to look for a more natural estrogen."


"Horrible"


"I liked this medication and stayed on it for almost 2 years. However, the vaginal dryness was so bad and embarrassing that I had to switch. I also think the medication caused hair loss."


"Started Sprintec about 4 months ago. During the first pack I had almost daily breakthrough bleeding, but it disappeared after that. However, last week I took my pill only 2 hours late and I started spotting again as well as getting bad headaches, so definitely try to take it at the same time no matter what. Some weight gain, really bad mood swings during the first few months. Haven't gotten pregnant so it's definitely an effective pill."


"I have been on Microgestin since October of 2009. What I have noticed is that with every hair washing I would pull out lots and lots of hair from my head. At the same time my chin hairs has gotten lighter and I don't have to pluck as often (my facial hair was always a real problem - it was dark and stubby and right under my chin). Since being on this birth control, it has gotten softer, lighter, and less noticeable--but I'M GOING BALD. Also, I seem to be depressed a lot and have very little energy and overall good feeling. I seem agitated a lot and raise my voice more often. "


"I was diagnosed with OCD and doctor put me on Zoloft and for some time I was okay then started getting side effects. I went back to doctor and he gave me Seroquel and instantly after taking first dose of 25mg I started to feel a lot better, like a new man. It really helped me sleep well without fear in my thoughts, so I really gave BIG 10 for this drug for helping me live normal life ."


"It was toxic to me. Severe joint pain, insomnia, osteoporosis, increased cholesterol count, and spinal stenosis. I also lacked libido and energy. It is worth the small chance of reoccurrence. I am still in pain, and I have been off of it since the end of April. It has impacted my life enormously; I regret taking it."


"I have been on NuvaRing for one year now. Overall, I like it. My experience is as follows: I heard that I could bleed irregularly at first. The ENTIRE first month was a very long, miserable period. I heard that it could make me emotional. Boy was that an understatement. Granted, I was going through a tough time in my relationship; the hormone changes ultimately forced the demise of it. I was borderline suicidal for the second month of using NuvaRing. LUCKILY, month 3 I was almost back to the right levels of hormones and my period was coming 3 days after I took the ring out. The last few months have been weird because it comes 4 or so days after removing it. Perk: Insurance covered it and saved me all $108 it cost each month!"


"FreshKote is the only dry eye medication that actually helped in any capacity.  I get terrible eye pain and this is the only medication that didn't cause more pain."


"Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't on my tension headaches.  Seems to work better than Aspirin and Caffeine alone, but not by much."


"I've been on lexapro for about 4 1/2 months now. I had really bad GAD and OCD I couldn't be left alone with my kids and wouldn't drive just from fear of pretty much everything. I am taking 15mg and it's working.. not as anxious and now able to be alone with my kids and now am driving. I am just pretty frustrated because since I've been on this drug my hair has fallen out quite a bit I have half the amount of hair I used to have.. (which is hard because I do hair) and I'm also starting to see the weight gain. But It has helped a lot with me mentally. I'm kind of scared to wean off. I'm just over my hair falling out."


"I got my Implanon inserted in the beginning of May 2010. 2 weeks later I got my period. (I was hoping I was going to be one of the lucky ones and not get it, but I was warned, and I'm not a lucky person anyway). But my period usually lasts 6 or 7 days. This period lasted for 11 days. And it was weird cause it wasn't like a regular period where throughout your period you go from heavy to light then you are done. This period was like the same consistency the whole time through (kinda light) so I never knew when it was going stop. But finally it did. Then June 14, I got my period again (Ugh.! I really hate periods, they ruin all my plans. But yeah, it's the same consistency as the last one. Soo... I'll see when it stops."


"I LOVE my paragard! I was on the Mirena for 3 years but decided to switch because of some hormonal side effects I was getting. The Paragard has been perfect. Getting it placed is painful as expected but no different than my experience with getting the Mirena. I get some cramping with my period but it is completely manageable and does not keep me from exercising and going about my normal activities. I need to take Midol the first day or two but that always does the trick. My period is 5 days long - the first day or two are mild, day 3-4 are heavier, and day 5 is moderate. I haven't had any problems leaking with tampons/out of control heavy periods. I have had it in for 3 months and couldn't be happier. I feel great!"


"I was on Synthroid or levothyroxine for over 20 years. Never ever worked. I lost my business because I was so exhausted and brain fogged. I finally switched to Nature-Throid. What a wonderful difference. Back in business and feeling great."


"I've been taking sprintec for two days. On the first day I already have insomnia and it made it worse my depression increased and I started to have bad headaches throughout the day. On my second day my head aches gotten worse and I just didn't want to do any school work. I got really sleepy but couldn't sleep at all and I lost all my appetite for food which isn't like me at all. Today was my third day on it, this morning I had a bad headache and complete lost of appetite. I felt like I was going to pass out like my blood sugar was low even tho I ate a protein bar. I became pale and felt light headed. This medication has increased my depression badly and insomnia."


"My mom is 94 we started her on this medication because she was confused to the point of argument mostly in the late afternoon till bed time. After 5 days of treatment she seamed to be worse starting when she wakes up.  Not sure what to do except to call doctor on Monday to ask what we should do."


"Massive headache, though not migraine type. Actually mimicked a horrible sinus headache. (And yes I am sure that it was not a sinus headache)

Light and sound were intolerable.

Increased my anxiety

Made me so tense my neck was hurting

I also take amlodopine besylate 10 mg with no side effects. It just doesn't lower my BP low enough. Mine tops out over 230/150 regularly, it only brings it down to 160/90. (Too bad i can't just take more)

I've tried

Htz- constantly needed to urinate
Linosopril- body ached all over
Losartan- migraine type headache

Why can't they make something that doesn't hurt us?  I have no symptoms of high blood pressure. It's more like a rush. I'll be damned if I'll take that makes me hurt to make it better!"


"My son's doctor gave him this medicine. He has autism and it's suppose to help him sleep. He has been going to sleep at 12 or 1 and waking up at 4 and 5 in the morning. Not sleeping all day. May take a nap for 1 to 2 hours. Then back running like a track star. I wouldn't be surprised if I came home from work one day and he is running up and down the walls."


"I took this drug for approximately 5 days. I experienced headache, nauseousiness, diarrhea, dizziness,  EXTREME fatigue, insomnia. Stopped taking it so wasted $80"


"I had been having anxiety and other symptoms such as weight loss.  I was diagnosed with OCD and started on 10mg prozac. I battled with side effects for the first month of increased anxiety, nauseousness and sleeping problems.  At about the 5 week mark the negative side effects went away and I started to feel some relief from the anxiety caused by the OCD.  I was increased to 20mg which seems to be enough for me.

I have now been on it for over a year.  I feel so much better.  Like a weight is lifted off of my shoulders and I no longer worry and obsess.  I have gained some weight but the anxiety had made me lose weight so I think I am able to eat now because I feel better.  I don't sweat the small stuff in life anymore!!"


"I would have to say that Yaz has been by far the best birth control pill I've tried. No weight gain no depression, I have tons of energy, I still have my sex drive, and no crazy out of control mood swings. It's worth a try. But no birth control pill is going to work the same for everyone. I recommend NEVER doing the generic brands, they are slightly different which if your sensitive to birth control pills like me, you will notice a difference. Yaz changed my life and made my PMDD a lot better."


"I had a condom mishap. After waiting 38 hours to take the pill I was a complete wreck. I was so nervous because getting pregnant would ruin my future at this young age. 5 days later I got my period with extreme cramping and heavy blood flow. The cramps were bad but it was all worth it. It worked."


"I've used Levora for almost a year now. I do have a heavier period however they seem to be getting lighter which freaked me out at first until I learned that is what this pill is supposed to do. When I do get my period I tend to get more moody and angry but when I start the new pack this moodiness ends. As for birth control I find it works very well."


"after years on Prozac switched to wellbutrin XL 150mg 5 days ago.  I had gained at least 40 pounds while on Prozac. On day 5 of Wellbutrin XL 100 mg and so far so good.  I am waking up throughout the night, no appetite which isn't a bad thing - down 4 pounds already - much more energy - however I am finding my OCD tendencies are getting stronger and things that I would let go couple of nights kept waking up throughout the night. But appetite - no appetite - down 4 pounds.  do find that some of my OCD issues are stronger than they were before..not too bad so hopefully things will settle down on that front and the anger issues where I am angry at anyone and everything will settle down also."


"32 years old, Two children: Admittedly I am only 1 month into having the Mirena but after reading all the negative reviews I have to share my experience so far.

Yes, there was some discomfort when it got put it. There is a pinch, some pain & some cramping. But it passes & can be aided with a heat pack & pain killers. During the insertion I was offered a sedative or laughing gas. I had neither & managed just fine.

I think it's important to remember EVERY woman is different - different bodies, different tolerances & take into account age, health, fitness & so on. I've noticed my breasts ARE swollen a little but not sore. I am currently having my first "period" since insertion - light spotting & little actual bleeding.

I feel great so far!"


"Every woman is different , so for some it may burn and itch , and for others it may take well. So you can't say its bad to use because every woman's body is different. :) I used it and it worked wonderful on me. Just keep in mind ladies our bodies are ALL different :)"


"Had very bad side effects.  Caused severe mood swings."


"This medication has changed my life. It helps me with my psychosis, depression, and anxiety, with virtually no side effects. It made me tired initially but that didn't last longer than a week. I also lost a few pounds which is great because I had gained lots of weight on other medicines. I LOVE Fanapt! I'm a new person on this medication and for the first time in my life, I am doing well in school."


"I am using this medicine since June 2015 and it's really helped to clear my face, this medicine has been the last choice after using many other solutions for acne but none of them solved my problem . I was afraid to take Accutane  because of  it's side effects but it dose worth to take it ."


"I've been on pain medicines for 10 years now.  The first 8 years on the yellow name brand Percocets 240 10/325, the last 2 yrs on the generic version which is the Endocet E712-10/325.  I also take 60 Oxycontin 40mg a month.  The combination of the 2 has been a dream come true."


"I have been taking this drug for 6 months. I started after a very sad time in our family and some months after this I had days where I would just breakdown and cry for no reason.  I found out that depression is in our family and has made me more aware of this disease. I fell generally better and don't have the days of sadness that I use to but have side affects of insomnia, low sex drive, dizziness and sometimes fatigue.  Overall I fell this drug has been helpful and would reccomend it to others."


"I have found that this medicine does clear up my eczema temporarily. However, I find that I have a lot of burning sensations around my face- specifically my eyes feel very very warm when I'm using it."


"Honestly, this thing works. I was freaking out and I shouldn't have been. It is very common to have a late period after taking the pill. If you are worried, take a pregnancy test to ease your mind. You will get your period. Don't worry. You will be fine :)"


"I found this drug to be very effective to control my seizures. Before taking Topirimate, my seizures were uncontrollable. I would get 3-5 seizures per week. Not including the amount of injuries I sustained- fortunately, nothing serious, just bumps on the head and sprained ankles from falling over. But I've been so lucky.

I've also lost weight. Amazing. I've wanted to lose weight for a while now. I've lost about 2 stone. But unfortunately the appetite suppressant within the Topiramate has ceased. It doesn't last very long. My appetite has come back :-(

But the seizures have been greatly reduced. Which is the main thing, which I'm very happy about."


"Works ok, but for serious cough problems get prescription level medicine. Does help bring up phlegm. drink lots of water, will help bring up the mucus faster."


"Prozac is NOT for everyone.  I was prescribed 10mg for my anxiety.  I felt awesome for about two days on this medicine, then the insomnia, mood swings, and rage set in.  It helped my anxiety, but the effects on my mood were absolutely intolerable.  I started feeling dizzy and my eyes hurt like I was staring in the sun too long.  I think it totally flooded my brain with serotonin and it was like system overload.  This is way too strong of a medication for someone with moderate anxiety and not much depression.  For someone who is severely depressed, it might help--it definitely boosts energy."


"Wow! I am shocked to find out that Mucinex is giving people relief from Fibromalga. How wonderful is that! I think the drug manufacturers should let this information be spread more then it is. I see this as a wonderful bit of information."


"Okay so o got my liletta 4 days ago, I've never had sex never had birth control and the only pain I had (which was really 75% discomfort) was the speculum and having to have my cervix widened/dilated. I didn't go on my period and I went w/o any ibroprophen..why? I really don't know but regardless still wasn't that bad but I have a high pain tolerance and everyone's bodies different! Day1: moderate cramps like usual light bleeding. Day2: spotting slight discomfort . Day3: slight discomfort no cramps.
Day4: light "one drop" spotting.
yeah I would recommend this!"


"I developed an ulcer after gastric bypass surgery.  Carafate has worked quickly to relieve the volcano like feeling in my new stomach pouch."


"I use the PanOxyl foam, and its worked wonders.  I have tried many other products on TV, or from the dermatologist.  The past 2 1/2 years I used a topical product from the dermatologist, but my acne was just becoming "immune" to it.  The 10% benzyol peroxide in Panoxyl really helped to clear up my stubborn acne.  My chest, neck, and back were the worse places, and I saw results after the first night. Within 2 days, those areas were completely cleared up. Panoxyl does dry out my face some, but it can be easily fixed with some lotion.  When I apply it at night, it's not sticky and it doesn't leave behind any oil. I had problems with those big welt-like pimples, but I have not had a single one since I started using this product!"


"I was on seroquel for only a few weeks, but that was more than enough. I had hallucinations and gained a significant amount of weight in that time. It did help me sleep at night and helped with my racing thoughts, but that's about it."


"It didn't work for me. I had it remove after a month of having it.
It caused me acne and weight gain, and I gained inches from arms and belly. Also really bad cravings for sugar and starch."


"I don't have trouble falling asleep, but if I happen to wake up between the hours of 2:00 am and 4:00 am, for some reason I have a hard time falling back asleep. I give myself about 10 minutes, and if I am still awake I take one capsule. Seems like it works within 15 minutes and there is ZERO morning grogginess. It is a short acting medication so it really isn't designed to be taken right when you go to bed. Sometimes I will take a Sonata and then check my email while waiting for it to work----big mistake, as I write some very loopy, misspelled things which I have only the vaguest memory of doing. "
