"Humatrope first started being used in 1987 I have read.  I started taking daily shots in 1988.  At the time I was 14 years old, 5'4", 170lbs, and had ZERO growth hormone in my body.  As it stood without treatment it appeared that I would never hit puberty.  I began taking daily shots every day for two years.  During that time I only missed two days.  I grew from 5'4" to 6' by 16 years of age and weighed the same weight that I had before I began the shots.  My body developed normally and I noticed no side effects.  Even after I stopped taking the shots I still continued to grow an additional inch.  My farther is 5'10", my older brother is 5'11" and I am 6'1".  It worked PERFECTLY for me."


"My face looks terrible. I do not recommend. I have pimples where I didn't have beforehand."


"I have lived with Interstitial Cystitis for decades and this is the only effective medicine that I have found to relieve my "UTI-like" symptoms when taken regularly. I still have issues with some foods causing irritation of my bladder, but for the most part Elmiron helps me not have to watch every little thing I eat."


"I have suffered Sinus problems my entire life, I have found that using a Saline Sinus wash 2 times a day ( Morning and Evening, before I shower) and takinfg Mucinex D when I am having really bad episodes, seems to be the perfect combo. I was also told that you should not take Mucinex D for more than 5 days. if you take it for 5 days you should go off of it for 15 days before going back on the medication. The Sinus wash is the secret, I also use a swimmer ears solution in my ears a couple of times a week and this seems to help with the build up of bacteria in the fluid that is always in my ears. I hope this helps."


"Given to me by my dentist

Gave me relief fast

No problems with it so far

Been on them for 4 days"


"I smoked for 38 years, 1-2 packs a day. I started in April 1972, while in basic training.  I took .5mg of Chantix for 2 weeks while smoking and in November 2010, at 930pm while driving to work, I  had my last cigarette. I began the 1mg regimen the next morning. My mother died in May of 2011, and I stayed smoke free. I divested the family of mom's house, belongings and accounts, and stayed smoke free. I credit Chantix! I know that I had not asked my PCP to write the script for Chantix, I would still be smoking."


"My doctor placed me on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo back in March. However, my insurance didn't cover it and I was given the generic brand (same dosage). I've been taking the pills for about 5 months and I'm satisfied overall. I am sexually active, but I usually use a condom as well. The pills have made my period very predictable, and I know that I will get my period the same day I take the 3rd green pill. The pills have also made my breasts a bit larger and more tender. My first period on the pill, I had horrific cramps, way worse than any I had ever experienced. Since then, my cramping has slowly subsided and gets less painful every month. My flow is actually heavier than it was when I was off the pill. Tylenol works better than ibuprofen for me."


"I have been using this medication for about 6 months.  Roxicodone 30mg every 4 hours.  It does work great takes the pain away within a short time period about 15 minutes once taken.  I have had 17 surgeries and have been unable to do a lot of things until I started taking this medication.  I don't feel tired or get a "high" feeling. I am happy I found a medication that works for me. Only one bad thing - I had when some of my medication was stolen.  I had to stop taking it.  I thought I was going to die  -  I was in bed for 3 days.  Like they say on this site put all your medicines up and follow the directions.  I wouldn't want anybody to have to go through withdrawals on this medication.  "


"This medication works well for my anxiety. I feel very relaxed and calm but I find it highly addictive. Sometimes I have memory loss and when I try to wean off of it my anxiety worsens and I go through withdrawal similar to a hangover."


"I've had an alcohol problem for years. I'm now 33 and have taken Antabuse for about four-five years and it's saved my life. I've had the odd slip up, but am getting stronger as time goes by. This medicine gives me the time to think as I know I can't drink straight away. Alcohol was completely wrecking my family and my life, its so destructive. With Antabuse it's given me back my life and control."


"Hi. This did not work for me. I was fertile but not ovulating as I thought so. My partner had done his business inside. So the next morning I took plan b within 18 hours. I waited for my period, thought i was stressed and delayed my period. Then after 6 weeks I got a pregnancy test and it was positive. I am 40 years old and this was my first pregnancy. However I chose to not go through with it. Please don't rely on this. Anything can happen even at my age. Please use proper birth control methods. "


"This is my 2nd month on Sprintec and it's been working well for me. I was on ortho tri cyclen lo prior and my mood swings and emotions were out of control. I do still get a bit nauseous at the beginning of the pack, but it may be because I take my pill early in the morning (have a good meal before you take it) it has also helped calm down my cystic acne. (I'm 25 and I've never had acne before until a couple of months ago due to stress at work) Most importantly, this does work for prevention of pregnancy! I have unprotected sex with my partner 2-3x a week. Remember to get enough rest, eat well and exercise even if you feel super lazy and tired. It's the hormones!"


"3M has discontinued this medicine after 30 years.  It is the best product."


"I've been on Claravis for almost 2 weeks now. I have severe cyst on my chin but since taking this medication it is bringing those down, even the redness is clearing up. I'm experiencing dry lips and had one nose bleed, but overall this medicine seems to work. My doctor said I will experience some breakouts first and then my face should start clearing. My old pimples are coming out but it looks like they are never going to come back. Good luck to all and we shall see my results since I got 5 months to go."


"Dexedrine is great, aside from the increased anxiety.  I currently take 90mg daily - both the 5mg tabs and the 15mg spansules.  I require two 20mins naps/day, but will still have sleep attacks if I'm inactive.  It may not sound overly great but without Dexedrine I'd never leave my bed/couch, as I fall asleep every 10 mins. So essentially, it does a world of difference."

"I have not noticed any effect from Bontril at all. No side effects, no reduction of hunger, no energy. It's as if I never even took anything. I have lost a couple of pounds but that is because I am eating very healthy and really cutting back but I am starving all the time.  I'm not sure I will be able to make it this way."


"Topamax is amazing. I originally took it 6 years ago to prevent migraines and lost 80 lbs as a bonus. At that time my doctor and I speculated that it would some day be approved for weight loss because I was not his only patient to report changes in the taste of carbonated beverages and chocolate while taking the medication. I also noticed that I did not dream about food while taking the medication, but within 3 months of changing medications food reentered my dream content. I am now back on the medication to address chronic pain issues and have already found the same results in weight loss, taste changes, and dream content."


"My 8 year old daughter was prescribed this medication yesterday by our PCP. For the past 6 months she was on Adderrall 10mg and I decreased her to 5mg two months ago. She weighs.64 lbs and 10 mgs of adderrall had her like a zombie, the 5 most recently caused her to become anxious,  overly sensitive,  and literally trichllomania - literally developing the habit of pulling her out. I stopped the adderall this week and her doctor suggested Strattera.

I got an email from my daughters teacher after sending her to school on the 1st day of her new meds. My daughter was experiencing super fatigue, headache, and nausea. She was definitely calm, but she could not eat dinner and my baby was so hot to the touch. I will NOT give her any more meds."


"Bleeding heavy after having coil fitted, stopped bleading straight away after  taking first 2 tablets but second day taking tablets got severe itching on neck and chest bit scared to take anymore now"


"I have Fibromyalgia as well and I stopped taking Cymbalta because my pains improved a great deal, but, I had extreme nausea and exhaustion (esp. in the am).  Now my pains have come back to kick my behind.  Day 2 of Cymbalta. Seems as if it makes me light sensitive, which gives me a headache and dizzy.  Like my eyes are heavy and my skin was clammy.  I will continue.  I'll get back to you n a few weeks."


"This is supposed to stop the infection externally but it really did not help my irritation very much."


"Mitochondrial Disease  - Very helpful for suspected Mitochondrial Disease, and Dysautonomia symptoms.  Specifically symptoms related to breathing."


"It burned and my skin got really dry in the beginning but after the first 2-3 weeks my skin got used to it and its awesome! I've seen a huge difference in the 5 months I've been using it. I don't have as many breakouts s before and right when a pimple shows up I put on epiduo and its practically gone the next morning. If it stings a lot or your skin peels, skip it for a day or two and then continue using it."


"I've had muscle spasms in my back for 10+ yrs tried skelaxin, robaxin, flexeral, and norflex and they all barely helped but the soma helped tremendously!!!"


"My husband took this drug for 1 month. He started losing his hair and that was a deal-breaker for him. Not enough of a trial to know effectiveness of the drug- but this bad rating was given because of the WITHDRAWALS. Brain zaps, nightmares, anger, vomiting and nausea. We started reading up online concerning the dependency called "Cymbalta Discontinuation Syndrome"   ...um WTF?? Please look it up- people are staying on the drug ONLY because the withdrawal symptoms are so bad and can last longer than the time you were taking the drug. My husband could be suffering for a year- we are newlyweds! Please do not start this drug if you haven't already!!!"


"I took Tri Sprintec for 2 years while I had no insurance and couldn't afford anything else. On Tri Sprintec I experienced weekly migraine headaches, nausea, extremely heavy periods that lasted up to eight days, and horrible cramps that would leave me curled up on the couch and unable to go to school or work. All my life, I had experienced heavy periods, but it seemed to get WORSE on this. This is not including the terrible mood swings that almost drove me and my boyfriend apart. I hated myself, and it didn't help things that my sex drive was nonexistent. I am now on Loestrin 24 Fe and have had NONE of these side effects."


"My luck I moved to a small town, small medicine to retire.I have Bilateral failed carpal tunnel with failed double revision and now with neuropathy in my hands.Herniated bulged disc in my lower back and another herniated bulged disc in my upper neck pushing against spinal cord.I have a torn right tendon in my knee,and that if I am really lucky I get  2 hours of sleep.I have beg my Dr. for Hyaluronic Acid Injection shot,
(which for some reason he won't) And now their saying I might have  parkinson's. He had me on Dilaudid a few years back but it made me jumpy but I'll be asking for it again. Can you believe that he was trying to give me hydro's 10's for this? And this guy went to a top 10 School. Don't move to Wa. state."


"Second attempt at champix so far so good but will say this time round I think I have every side effect..craving .feeling sick. Strange dreams.tiredness. eating a lot more. .

Im on week 4..but determined to do this I smell better my bank account looks healthier. ..

Good luck to everyone"


"I like Linzess and have used it off and on for 2 yrs - however dont take at night time - seems mornings work best.  I had an accident in my sleep - not pleasant and a nightmare.

I might have to have dr lower the dosage of 290 to lower one.  I use Miralax normally - but Linzess for the times Miralax is lax on the job."


"I took the drinkable, one time dosage of this, and chased it down with water. I starting feeling a bit sick and weak an hour later, with cramps and the urge to throw up. I read if you threw it up, you'd have to go back to the doctors which I did not want. Next day still feeling crampy and a bit weak, not sure if it's from my period or the medication but I'm hoping it works ! Way better than taking pills everyday"


"I've only been on celexa for a month, I am 5'5" and I was 112lbs and they put me on 10mg, but it didn't help at all, it made me start having panic attacks and anxiety attacks again I'm also on klonopin ((1mg twice a day)) for panic disorder and adderall ((20mg XR in the morning and 10mg IR at lunch time)) for inattentive adhd), I haven't been any less depressed, and I'm 99lbs now and they just doubled my dose to see if that will work. I really hope it does, because right now I absolutely hate it. I've been eating more than I normally do but losing weight rapidly, and I'm already underweight. Celexa so far makes me feel like I'm on the verge of falling asleep almost 24/7; the rest of the time is when I'm having anxiety and panic attacks."


"I have fibromyalgia or they say and have been on everything known to mankind even experimental drugs. I am now down to just pain medicines which I am weening myself off of. I tried Skelaxin and has it helped relax the tension I have had for years now. I have been doing stretching exercises and this medicine helps loosen me up so it's not so painful. It's probably just another bandaid but it has helped me so far...very expensive though. "


"This drug is a very mild, but effective drug.  It can be used for long periods.  I find it works hit and miss, but I need to take doses throughout the night."


"Ultram has offered better pain control for chronic pain due to back problems."


"took plan B pill 4 hours after unprotected sex had nausea that day but after that NOTHING started to worry 2 weeks later I began spotting for a few days then my period finally came stayed longer than usual but the pill was worth it. I also took a pregnancy test while spotting because I was scared came back negative . took another about a week or 2 after period still came back negative."


"Alright ladies.. This pill is a lifesaver! Me and my boyfriend had an incident when the condom broke. At the time, I was ovulating and I took the Plan B pill within 24 hours. I didn't have any symptoms for about a week, and then I got ALL of them. Tender breasts, abdominal pain, bloating, very weird stomach noises, bad headaches, and very tired. My biggest symptom was being worried though! I am only 16, and I am now not pregnant. This pill works miracles! One relieved lady right here. Good luck to all of you!"


"From the start I began to experience side effects. The most bothersome are the extreme sweating episodes followed by chills at least 12 times a day or more. In addition other side effects are more pain in my lower back and hips as well as a rash with associated itch on my upper back.  I will never get another Prolia shot!!! Wish I knew there would be so much discomfort!"


"Great for weight gain."


"I am 18 years old and have been using Loestrin 24 Fe for 9 and a half months now. I haven't gotten pregnant but the side effects I experience always make me think that I am pregnant. It's been this long so I guess it's working."


"I have been taking Belviq for 3 weeks and have lost 3 lbs so far. No headaches but I get the chills and my body is very achy, I feel like I have the flu. I crave everything! I don't think I've eaten this much in years! I am also very tired, I want to take a nap all day! I will finish the bottle but for $83, I need to see more results."


"I took it for 2-3 days twice a day and have lost my sense of smell...hope its not permanent.  No med is worth losing the ability to smell."


"Used years ago my arms and it was successful for a time, after healing. But arms look like they once did. Red hair and freckles growing up in az before sunblock was used!! Now using on forehead. It's miserable I hope it works. All I can say is take it one day at at time. Keep battling."


"Diarrhea for 2 hours , stomach gurgling all day , urge to go but nothing , feels like gas brewing but nothing, may take tomorrow but don't know after that , was having bowel movement every day with citcrel,  but still had urge to go , so doctor thinks I'm not emptying,  but I will have to say I don't really like this med,"


"When I took this it was very painful. The shots messed up my muscles and my condition got so much worse after the 6 month period. I had to get surgery and lost my first organ. I'm not saying don't try it for endo but be wary when you do. You're supposed to have more intense symptoms in the first part but it is supposed to get better. Mine did not, it only got worse."


"I've been on birth control for 5 years and recently switched to Nikki to see if it would make my skin better. I was on it for three days when I started vomiting and feeling lightheaded. Then out of nowhere, one whole side of my body went numb. Taking this drug was absolutely terrifying, I physically thought I was going to die. It's not worth it."


"I've had severe panic/anxiety disorder for 15  years. Was prescribed Xanax 1mg 3xday for 15  yrs. It worked for panic attacks, but not for constant anxiety. Psychiatrist prescribed Klonopin 3 months ago, 1mg 2 x day. It has been the best medicine I've taken for the daily anxiety, but does not stop panic attacks. Talked to him about increasing to 3 x day and he refused to listen! I'm stuck with 2xday. It is the best medicine I've taken because lasts about 6-7 hours. I've been participating in life again, but anxiety is still ever-present. I wouldn't have to take Xanax for panic attacks if my dosage were increased to 3 x day, but he prefers to prescribe 15 Xanax/month on top of Klonopin rather than stick with Klonopin alone. Overall great medicine."


"Doctor recommended I try this after failed medication after failed medication.. So far, it has helped my insomnia drastically!"


"I started on phentermine 6-20-15 at 224 lbs I'm a 5' 6" male with a heavy muscular frame, but with a lot of fat as well. I was given a 1500 cal/day balanced diet which is what my doc gives to some of his diabetic patients. I am down to 184.5 (39.5 lbs loss) today 10-7-15, my goal is 160~165. Pant size from 40" to currently 35" (yes they make size 35") As far as exercise I only do resistance training to keep from losing muscle during the weight loss process thus keeping up my metabolism. Burning calories running miles on a treadmill is far harder than not eating those calories in the first place. Also controlling blood pressure on phen is a must so that's another reason I stay off of the treadmill while using this med. Never Never give up!"


"Had to stop taking because of SEVERE stomach pain and cramping. I would double over in pain and could't find relief doing anything, just had to suffer through it. Took me about 3 to 4 weeks to get back to normal. DO NOT recommend :("


"I really like this pill.  I have been on several types of birth control and this is the only one that has helped clear up my skin.  I did have some spotting during the first pack of pills, but that has always been pretty typical with me.  Other than that I have done well.  My moods are good, body feels good, very short period, and now great skin.  This is the best birth control pill I have taken and I can definitely tell it has helped with the PCOS and side effects.  Also, my sex drive may have even increased which is a plus with the fiance."


"It makes you sick, doesn't work, impossible to eat when you're on it, and makes you tired.  "


"Added 1 mg to my Effexor 150 mg for depression and anxiety. This is helping but have major joint and body aches with weight gain and stomach bloating. Also OCD is worse   Don't know if can stay on this due to these side effects. "


"Just started medication. Continuous nausea 24 hours a day. Headache and now diarrhea. Still sleeping during day and night. Just adding to existing symptoms I already was experiencing."


"I was put on metformin in April 2011 when I was diagnosed with diabetes.  First I was taking 2 x 500mg once a day with evening meal.  Now (December 2011) I am taking 4 x 500mg twice daily. The main side effect has been horrible diarrhea throughout!  So I am regularly taking Imodium to cope with it.  My A1C has gone down 1%.  So for me it is a toss up, yes blood sugar has gone down but now I have to take diarrhea medicine plus use diaper rash ointment. I would like to try something else so my butt could heal!"


"I've been on Lexapro for probably 7 years now. I've had severe anxiety, panic attacks, mood issues, EDs, and depression for a long time. Lexapro has helped immensely. I had side effects for the first few weeks (night sweats, felt tired, maybe increased anxiety at first) but I stuck with it and it's been my staple drug throughout these years compared to the 20  I have tried. I ultimately needed to add a mood stabilizer to get further relief, but Lexapro is definitely a huge help in that. I am on 10mg and Lamictal 50mg"


"I had the paragard inserted 3 years ago after my second child.  Heavy period,  headaches,  bloating,  mood swings and weight gain about 15 pounds.  I had it removed last week. Felt better almost instantly.  I wouldn't recommend.  Also tried the Mirena that was even worse."


"Medication starting making my joints feeling better, but after a month of taking it, I developed migraine headaches that would come one about an hour after taking medication. Had to stop due to the severity of the headaches."


"I use ultracet (half a pill) for headaches and it works wonders.  It's the only medicine that gets rid of my intense tension headaches.  I would highly recommend this medication."


"Really worked for me.  I had significant pain and inflamation of my big toe.  Symptoms were getting worse until I took Aleve.  Almost immediate (1/2 hr) relief from pain and within one day of use the pain was gone and by the 2nd day the swelling was reduced."


"This drug is amazing. Lost 2lbs first week. No cravings.  I have to remind myself to eat. I do have a lot of dizziness."


"Good."


"Didn't do much for my panic episodes even at 80mgs a day. What it did do, is make me not care about sex, even years after taking them. And it made my emotions numb, I couldn't cry at a funeral for a beloved family member when I knew I should have been hysterical."


"Okay , so First night taking the 3 day monistat , for the first hour & a half there was the worst feeling but after it passed , I was relieved , no more burning or itching I was able to fall asleep , I woke up for day 2 , completely fine but I know it couldn't be all gone, I recommend drinking alot of cranberry juice and taking aveeno oatmeal baths, on the 3rd morning Im in pain again but just itchiness not really much burning . I take my last dose tonight , hopefully it works ."


"I have not slept more than an hour or two for literal years without pain waking me due to my Chronic Nerve Pain. I now take the 50 mg dose & wow I sleep almost immediately & do not wake drowsy or dizzy, I also notice a pain relief benefit, I do not wake in raging pain wondering how I am going to walk! I am also on Effexor for anxiety & medical marijuana for pain, all seem like a well oiled machine  weeks in"


"My daughter was diagnosed with rehumatoid arthritis at the age of 5. It took almost 6 months to get the right diagnosis. She was hospitalized and put on enbrel. It was amazing to see her walking again, being able to use her hands, and run. She has being using enbrel for about 20 months now. However this past few months I have notice it's not having the same effect as before. She's staring to limp, and wakes up with her fingers too stiff to move them. Hoping is just a flare."


"I had never been constipated before and was getting really Fed up. I was going to try MOM but my pharmacist recommend senokot along with lactulose. I tried these for a couple of days but neither was working. By day 6 I resorted to MOM knowing I had the following day off. I took 5tbsp at 12:00am and by 3:00am I had a normal gentle BM, with no cramping or side effects. Highly recommended!"


"Hydroxyzine has been the magic bullet for my skin allergies.  I've tried every over-the-counter option, as well as a couple of prescriptions.  I was warned that hydroxyzine might make me more sleepy and wiped out than the other drugs, but for me it has nearly no sedative effect.  My hives, which used to appear over much of my body for several hours a day, stay away almost completely."


"I have found Saphris to be very effective, especially for my bipolar depression. I felt happy for the first time in 4 months and its only 2/3 days to work! I was taking lithium and lamotrigine, but the lamotrigine didn't bring my mood up and the lithium didn't either. Needless to say, I was feeling pretty down. Saphris made me feel clear thinking, motivated and reduced my anxiety. And it has only been a week and a day since starting it. I am very pleased. I still have a ways to go in terms of my over all experience with this medication. All the best."


"I'm on the fence with Trintellix.  I had been taking Zoloft for about a year and a half with no problems, except I started to lose all emotions...not happy, not sad.  No motivation.  My doctor suggested Trintellix, so I switched and have been on 10 mg for about 3 months.  I feel nauseous every time I take it, but it's tolerable and just passes.  However, yesterday, about 30 min after taking it, eating and having some coffee, I had to run to the bathroom to vomit, like a lot.  Today, I also feel even more nauseous.  I'm surprised after 3 months that it is still just as bad, if not worse.  However, from a mood perspective, I feel SO much better.  Not sure if lowering the dose would help or what, but any suggestions would be helpful :)"


"I've had RA for 56 years, and of course pain. Before having my gastric surgery I had tremendous pain in my lower back. A nurse friend who also as RA said I should try it, I took 30mg the first night and rocketed out of bed the next morning; the second night/morning the same thing, no pain and the flexibility to jump right out of bed. The third night I was wondering if I was just having a good couple of mornings, so I skipped the dose; I woke up at 2am with excruciating pain and downed the cymbalta. The next morning around 9am, I launched out of bed forgetting all about any pain. Bottom line, for me it was a God send, like most meds; you can't expect everyone to react the same. It's not rocket science people, get a weeks worth of samples."


"I was prescribed diclegis by my OB for extreme nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Diclegis is not covered by insurance so I researched what it was and it's basically unisom and Vitamin B6. Now the active ingredient is what is in the sleep tabs, not gels. The gels have diphenhydramine so if you are using this review to help ease nausea during pregnancy, make sure you are buying the sleep tabs. Anyway, I take one tab at night (Check it is the right dose  doxylamine 10mg) and it totally works. I don't wake up feeling nauseated at all and I sleep through the night. I do feel a little groggy in the AM, but it's hard to tell if it's from the pill or pregnancy in general. Upon further research, I discovered that the tabs were originally so designed to help with nausea. Hope this helps!"


"I have been on this birth control for about a month and while I'm aware that it's not long enough for the pill to really set in, I've suffered major side effects that are important to know about. This pill is causing me to have a second period this month, and I'm anemic, so it's making me feel extremely fatigued. It's also spiked very very severe depression and a loss of appetite."


"So I just switched to this method of bc from my old one Reclipsen and I must say it is excellent!!!! I'M losing weight I have 0 appetite I eat occasionally not too much snacking "


"It's amazing. First the redness goes away then no more itching."


"I am 47 years old and have abused narcotics since I was16. From Codeine, Percodan, Tylox, Norco, and Oxy's to shooting 3 grams of heroin a day. Incarceration, Homelessness, Finally got on Methadone but was miserable. A friend gave me some Suboxone tabs and I couldn't believe it! It was a miracle! I have been on Suboxone for going on four years and live a very productive and happy life. I have a family and a career and things I would have only sold to buy more drugs with. Take it from me, if you want to stop destroying yourself and the people that love you, look into getting on Suboxone. I promise you, you won't regret it!"


"I have been on this for about a month now. I'm just so sleepy all the time. I can't snap out of it and even on the lowest dosage (40mg at night) I can't kick it. I feel like I'm a different person, not in a good way. I'm going to call my doctor and tell her that I discontinued it on my own. I cannot perform my daily functions as a wife and mother when I feel like I'm going to fall asleep behind the wheel."


"Stabilizing when used with Lamictal and Lexapro."


"Started Victoza 1 month ago.  I have mild Diabetes due to Metabolic syndrome. FBS off meds is 117-130. Have been on Metformin Januvia Invokanna without weight loss.  Had a lap band since 2006 but not very tight. Had prostate biopsy last week {benign}.  In 1 month I have lost 6 lbs. After Victoza injection, it is very difficult to eat even small portions almost like the band being temporarily tightened. Another weird reaction was that the prostate after biopsy is slightly swollen for a few days. After Victoza injection, it felt like there was more swelling in the prostate region for a few hours.  Have not had any unwanted nausea during the month. Have just renewed my prescription"


"I'm 19 years old had a daughter who's now 6 months old, Never used a birth control and decided to go with the Mirena I'm bad at remembering things. I got the Mirena inserted last week even though I had a baby it was a little painful inserting it she said my cervix was pretty high. The next day I was normal. Drink some ibuprofen you'll be fine. I get cramps here and there but again it's only been a week my boyfriend says he only feels the strings but it doesn't bother it only tickles, so far so good."


"Have been using Flonase for about 1 month.  Dosage 1 spray per nostril twice daily.  The only side effect noted has been a tiny amount of blood present when I blow my nose, but this is infrequent and is always a very small "spot".  I have responded amazingly well to this medication and my ongoing problem with congestion is greatly improved.  The only reason I didn't rate Flonase as a 10 was that nothing is perfect and I allowed for the development of something that possibly, though unlikely, would perform better."


"The product is an effective bullet as I tend to get pneumonia bi-annually due to a compromised immune system (Lupus). I have been diagnosed with Osteo-necrosis caused by the steroid usage. In addition, it tends to make me extremely jittery and anxious, extraordinarily dizzy, unable to focus, nauseous, and to have blurred vision. (These might be an allergic reaction to the product, but am unsure).

It HAS saved me many a trip for an extensive stay in the hospital and feel comfortable stating that while I have multiple side effects, the benefit most certainly outweighs them. "


"Does not work for me. Much worse after 3 shots. Extreme fatigue."


"I was going through postpartum depression really bad. I was on this pill for seven years before I got pregnant. I went back on the pill for postpartum depression and its calmed my anxiety. It has done wonders for me. I did not get pregnant on this pill."


"This medicine began to work almost immediately. Mostly clear now except for a few spots. First time like this in 35 years. Only side effects have been bathroom visits are 2-3 a day now, loose stool. No Nausea or anything else."


"I have had Mirena for a little over a month now. As soon as I put it in I got acne, its been a problem for me when I was in my teens and was almost completely gone by time I was 20.  I am 22 almost 23 and now it's almost as bad as when I was 15. I have to wash my face every day with acne creams, to help control the break outs, most of which are on my back. I have all sorts of mood swings and my husband says that I haven't really been the same since it was inserted. I am going to be looking into a way to off set this. Every once and a while I will get the breast tenderness, but it's not much worse then when I was breastfeeding and often goes away in minutes. I have a horrible time remembering to do things, so when I was taking a pill everyday I had to rely on my cellphone alarm going off to take the pill and even then if it wasn't close by or if I was in the middle of doing something I wouldn't stop to go take the pill. I love that I don't really have to worry about it.  My doctor told me since I hadn't been getting my period while breastfeeding, Mirena would more then likely stop my periods, which so far I haven't even spotted one day.  I haven't had any problems with weight gain. I have maintained the same weight as when it was inserted, though I am trying now to start losing weight, so we shall see how that goes. Overall at this moment I would recommend it to others. As long as I can off set this funk I am in."


"I've been taking Yaz for three months for adult acne that was unresponsive to just about every skincare/formulation/medication/creams/makeup on the market. I had tried everything but the pill (Yaz) for several years due to becoming depressed/irritable on other contraceptive pills previously. This is the only thing that has worked! I'm so happy. The first 6 weeks made my skin much much worse but now, I'm clear for the first time in years. My breasts are fuller also which is a bonus."


"Started on Methadone in the hospital after 2nd Laminectomy & fusion L-4 to S-1. I am on 30mgs 4 times a day (120mg in 24 hrs) I noticed an immediate weight gain of 20lbs (that I can't get rid of) and complete cessation of my menses! I was NOT warned of these side effects! The extra weight adds to my back pain & depression.  I just don't know what to do! I want off of this, but I have failed other medications! I just want my body back (20 lbs lighter) AND help with my pain!"


"My doctor gave me this cream for my vaginal dryness and pain and burning when I urinate. I'm 47 years old I don't have my period since this January, and started with the terrible dry vagina symptoms. I just started using the cream so far I haven't noticed the bad side effects yet and I hope I won't have it. I noticed when I urinate that the burning sensation is less. This morning when I woke up I feel my vagina less dry, but half of the day the dryness came back. I hope the more time I used the cream the symptoms of dry vagina go completely. I have avoided having sex with my husband because I'm afraid is going to hurt more. I'm very motivated reading the reviews I read before and maybe I can return to enjoy sex again."


"This has been more effective in treating premenstrual dysphoric disorder in my case than any of the other combinations of antidepressants or mood stabilizers my doctors have tried. It saved my sanity."


"I have been on this pill for a year now. I switched from Yaz to Jolessa because Yaz made me CRAZY. At first, the Jolessa was wonderful, but after a couple of months it made my face breakout like crazy. Completely awful. However, it is good for having only 4 periods a year."


"After a few other medications failed to help, I tried Luvox for 13 weeks. It immediately made me nauseous, and the effect was constant--not just when I took the dose. I also had no improvement in my PTSD symptoms. Eventually I gave up and had to try another drug."


"1st prep was at 4:00 pm.  It was not as bad as the reviews that I have read on the internet.  I mixed the solution with ice cold water, put a lemon under my nose, held my nose throughout the entire drink + 5mins, use a STRAW placed all the way to the back of your throat!  Put on some good motivational music "blarring" through the house :) and had at it.  Within 10 minutes I had already drank the solution and downed the 1st 16oz chaser.  In between drinking the prep I would stop and suck on a lemon or a small sip of water.  Drink the prep as fast as possible but don't make yourself sick.  It took only 15 minutes for the solution to work.  Make your bathroom your mini office...(laptop, baby wipes, water chasers with you!, etc..)"


"This medication saved my life. I had been suffering from a back injury for years, and the last 4 years were the worst. I've done everything except surgery. I started gaining weight because my back pain limited my daily life.

The final straw was after having a child I couldn't walk for 2 months. The amount of narcotics it took for me to even stand was a fight with these doctors. Seems like it's a fight to get help with the pain.

I finally asked to try Cymbalta, within 2 days I was taking only a 1/4 of my other medications to help me stand.

I've been on it for 8 months, and from the day I gave birth I was 270lbs, I am now at 150, my daughter is only 10 months old.

I'm just out of pain and can do things any normal 31yr old can do"


"I started Contrave on 4-1 starting weight 272 and lost 9lbs after a month and now I'm going back and forth between 263-265 I gain the 2lbs then lose the 2 lbs and can't seem to lose anymore. I'm tracking what I eat and the drug does help with cravings. This medicine does help you make better decisions with what you put in your body which is great. I'm just surprised that it worked so well in the beginning and now nothing."


"I switched my pharmacy . But I was taking the higher version I guess which is tri-sprintec for a year, I never had a single issue with I might've gained 5 unnoticeable pounds.  But when I changed to cvs they gave me this. It is my second month and I have only had my period on the active pills.  I got my period 2 1/2 weeks ago on active pills. Took my sugar pills then this week got my period again. My skins broken out, I gained 10 lbs. I work with little kids so I though I was getting sick from them, but I've had headaches and stomachs almost constantly.  The reviews made me realize it's the birth control. It's seriously the worst experience I've had with medication."


"My experience on Depo has been a nightmare.
I have been on it for almost a year, I will be bleeding for a month straight, then it will stop for a week or two (if I'm lucky) then its right back to bleeding.
I have also had awful headaches, bad body aches, severe abdominal cramping, mood swings, random depression and chest pains.
"


"I should have been on something a long time ago.  I love Cymbalta."


"I just went to my doctor and had my second Mirena put in. The last five years of having Mirena has been good. I still had my periods, but very light and only lasting a few days. My sex life was great and I didn't get pregnant. Also, I'm 32 and have two kids. I decided because Mirena works for me to keep on continuing it. The removal of the old one and placement of the new one was a little painful, but after an hour I felt great. I'm looking forward to the next five years."


"I used Zyclara for 2 months, applying it for a week and then taking a week off. I have to say, it does work. I had many pre-cancer spots on my forehead, face and shoulders, that stayed there for years, despite annual freezing treatments. Zyclara cleared up these spots, and they seem to be gone permanently.

As for side effects, it was a terrible experience, but only for the first couple of weeks. Basically, the first week of treatment was Hell, the second week was Heck, and the third and fourth weeks were Gosh and Golly. So, only the first week of treatment was painful.

For that first week of treatment, it was like being hit with both a body-aching flu and a sleeping sickness at the same time."


"Nardil was a last resort drug for me, after 25 years of trying anything, including a vagus nerve implant and electroconvulsive therapy to treat life-long major depression.  I have never been sure if it works or not.  I still have major depressive episodes - an increase in the medication seems to help.  However, side effects such as fatigue to the point where I cannot take another step, hypomanic episodes, a feeling of "bugs" crawling on under my skin, and an 80 pound weight gain makes me want to stop taking the medication.  I have stopped and restarted it a couple times over the past 6 years, and am unsure if it really helps or not.  If you plan to start taking it, I would advise to keep track of side effects you might not relate to Nardil."

"it was awful i used it for one day because of the pain i am in i was horribly sick i was throwing up almost passed out it was the worst thing i will never take it again"


"I started taking Lysteda just one day ago and I can tell the difference in my period. Before taking this medication I would use 2 bags of 14 overnight pads in 3 days. I have used pantyliners this week. It works."


"I suffered from anxiety with significant episodes of depression since I was 19 (I'm 26 now). My anxiety manifested itself as hypochondria mostly. I constantly thought I had cancer, MS, or some other debilitating disease. I feared my loved ones would die or get sick as well. The worry would consume my thoughts and I would spend hours online researching these illnesses, convinced I had something. Started taking Lexapro 20 MG and I've never looked back. My hypochondria is completely gone. "Sad" moods are no longer full-blown depressive episodes. My life seems so much lighter and more manageable. There's no shame in taking medicine if you need it. I only wish I had started it sooner."


"This bar really works. I've used Proactiv and tried every other product on the market. I also used the 5% acne wash at Kaiser and it didn't work. Whatever is in the Panoxyl, the combination is perfect for my 28 year old skin that's still breaking out. I use it on my face, chest and back. It's a lifesaver."


"I have tried other anti anxiety medications but they gave me terrible side effects. Zoloft has almost completely taken away my anxiety and the only side effect I have is sleep loss that is corrected by a sleep aid. I am so much happier and my life has been so much better since being on this medication. I experienced this almost right away after starting the medication. I didn't realize how much my anxiety had really been affecting my life until I started using Zoloft."


"Celexa worked wonders for my postpartum depression.  My depression stated later than normal, my child was 9 months.  At first I felt "out of it", like I couldn't concentrate.  After a week that went away.  I also have mild OCD and it helped that too.  I did gain a little weight and was craving food more.  My husband says he noticed a good change in me, better mood."


"Second time user, first time after 3 years it started to migrate into uterus wall. Second time pain in insertion due to tilted uterus and inexperienced PA, having full body rash and hives. Think it is very effective for BC but not sure if side effects are worth it..."


"I have been on Yasmin for a few years and I will never come off it now. I tried so many different things to clear up my cystic acne. I had it for about 5 years mainly on my jaw line and nothing got rid of it. I tried different topical treatments, face washes, not wearing make up and different pills but nothing worked.

Within a month or so of being on Yasmin I noticed I wasn't getting any big spots. My skin was clearing up majorly and It has been a life saver since. I get the odd spot here and there now but I can deal with that."


"It made me tired all of the time and it was difficult to wake up in the morning."


"I am glad my dermatologist prescribed this for me to use on my armpits.  Initially, I tried using it once a day and it broke me out and I had the itchy-stinging side effect. From thereon, I learned to use it about every 2 days and it keeps me dry along with another prescribed topical treatment. I also use Drysol for my oily face and it works! It calms my oily glands and it produces less oil especially on my nose. If you use Drysol on your face, test it on a small area of your face with a cottonball. I don't use it everyday on my face. I only use it once a week on my face and every other day on  my nose.  My results were minimal oil production on my face and no need to blot my face throughout the day."


"I guess it did the job and did serve as a birth control . But other than that, this pill did make me depressed. I was on it for about 8 months or so. It didn't really help with my acne, I think the first week of the pack (after the placebos) my face would be flawless and the rest of the days it would be breakouts. I was always always sad and crying. I got off of it mainly because of the depression. I have been off it for a full 2 months now and I am feeling MUCH better. Much happier... my face is clearer. I don't think this birth control was for me."


"This shot is only given at a medical facility urgent clinic or hospital wait time after given is approximately 20 minutes to make sure there's no allergic reaction ... Within a few hours my cough was slowed down"


"I've been on this pill for 6 months now. My doctor prescribed this for me initially for my acne and to regulate my period. The first week gave me really terrible nausea, so it was difficult to eat during the first few days. I stuck with it and its been perfectly fine. My acne cleared up, I lost a couple pounds, my sex drive has increased, my cycle has been very regular and no more nausea."


"I have gallstones and nothing took my attacks away not naproxen, a heating pad, Tylenol 3. Nothing until I tried Percocet which is so effective for people who suffer from biliary colic and do not have insurance to get their gall bladder removed. Once, I didn't have a Percocet and was rushed to the ER and I was given Dilaudid which made me so high and took my pain away because I was high. Percocet is just right thanks Percocet I love you."


"I've been on Robaxin since 3/11 when I suffered neck/shoulder injury/trauma and a compression fracture in my lower back due to an auto accident. I take it in conjunction with Lortab 10/500 for muscle spasms and pain. It has helped with pain relief. I can continue to drive for work which I drive in excess of 25,000 miles per year. It seems to have little if any side effects."


"Gave me awful stomach pain and nausea after just one dose. "


"I was prescribed this 6 months ago by an ER doctor after my first ever tonic clonic seizure.  I'd been taking it for about 6 weeks before I could get an appointment with a neuro Dr.  I was working, had no problems at all with it - actually was helping me sleep better and I didn't have any other seizures.  The Dr took me off them & said it wasn't the right medicine.  I tried 2 medicines by his suggestions and changed Dr's after bad reactions.  The new doctor had me on 3 others that also gave me bad reactions - GUESS WHAT - now I'm back on them and I'm feeling like myself again & I'm not having any trouble at all.  I just wish they would've listened to me to begin with."

"I am 45 and have been on Loestrin for 2 months to help the  horrific monthly cramps that I have had since the ablation I had 9 months ago. It has helped reduce the cramps but not stop them. I haven't noticed any help in the bust department, sigh. I would have loved to have that side effect."


"I am 18 and the last year I have been developing ovarian cysts. Pretty painful periods were an everyday thing for me but a week ago it got worse with my period. I was on the 4th day and I was still bleeding a lot. My mother decided we should go to the gyno and I had an ovarian cysts again around 4cm!! Since a pill I had used once that helped shrink the cysts  discontinued I had to begin taking birth control pills. I started yasmin 4 days ago and my breasts feel stiff and today m y eyes are kinda swollen but in general nothing worse considering dangerous. Those pills do affect your hormones and body you can't expect amazing results without a drawback or two. I will be taking Yasmin for a month around, will update soon."


"Been prescribed this for the second time. (First time Metronidazole, Lansoprazole and amoxicillin with severe side effects so I had to stop taking it, including nausea 97% of the time, abdominal cramps, loss of appetite). This is a 7 day treatment.

Just finished day 1 of the medication. Took my first dose this morning, had no side effects for 4 hours. I went back to sleep and woke up with a STRONG metallic taste in my mouth that I couldn't flush out. Taken my second dose after dinner and now suffering from upper back pain on my left side. Not sure if it's a side effect from the medication. Also my guts are moving a lot more as if there's wind trapped inside.

These are side effects I can handle for 7 days, hoping I don't get severe nausea"


"My only regret is not trying this sooner! Could not have done it without the patches. Thank you so much for helping me quit! Officially a non smoker after 35 years!! I will never smoke again!! NEVER!"


"I have dealt with allergies all my life and have tried everything under the sun to stop the agony. This is the only drug that works 100%. It is also one of the cheapest. Highly recommended."


"I started using Neurontin this summer. I was not able to function when my vulvodynia flared up, so many hours and days were spent lying on the couch in pain. Neurontin kicks in pretty fast and helps me be able to be productive. I would be lost without its help!"


"I've have the implanon for 3 years as well as the nexplanon going on a year. No pregnancies yet. Haven't really had any symptoms of course besides weight gain, cramps and when I switched to the nexplanon I was on my period 2 months straight but other than that great birth control. Still have my sex drive lol ."


"I started taking wellbutrin 300 (150x2)
Benefit; speed biting nails. Calm mind no racing thoughts. Well rested. Pain managed MUCH better. Great focus vs lots of racing thoughts and too much happening at once. Stabilized mood. Generally calmer
Negative: felt like I was going to have a stroke (I've had a few before, unrelated). Hard to think, have full thought, twitchy, nausea, vomiting, headaches, irritated easily, out of body, always hard to swallow, vertigo, hard to swallow/speak, flushed warm feeling, didn't feel like myself though that could be because despite the negatives so many things were much better.going to try something else.  Side effects were too much to justify and had a"bad feeling"from taking it.
Great drug if minimal SE's"


"Gave this a 5 rating because it did prevent pregnancy, but having said that, the side effects are not worth it. No legitimate weight gain but water weight and bloating caused fluctuations daily of up to 5 lbs up or down (normally my weight is the same daily). Night sweats due to low estrogen, flat hair, duller complexion, total lack of sex drive, and dry like the Sahara down there due to thickening of cervical mucus. Definitely irritability and mood swings. Stopped mid pack month one and feel much better after one day of this out of my system. I was skeptical a pill could do all of the after reading the reviews, but 2 weeks in, experiencing it myself, they are all right. Not worth trying to stick it out in case body adjusts in a few months."


"I had unprotected sex without realising it was the day that I was ovulating and took the pill within 17 hours. I experienced horrible stomach cramps, nausea and lower back pain but no period for 8 days and started to get really worried! I was convinced I was pregnant and kept looking at forums for information on pregnancy symptoms and implementation bleeding. Luckily on the 9th day I was very relieved to see I had started my period and I was having sleepless nights for nothing. It's an excruciatingly long wait but it's worth it so just hang in there. It definitely works, it may just take a while!"


"This medicine helped with my anxiety a lot. I tend to get very anxious during the night and it can keep me up at times. I'm on 0.5 mg and its works great! I finally get to sleep and not constantly worry about things. Although one downside is when I wake up. I still feel sedated and tired for about 3 hours but overall a very good medicine."


"I am 16 and was recently diagnosed with ADD. I find Vyvanse extremely helpful for the first 6 hours, and then as I come off of it I often have a depressive mood swing for about an hour. I have been trying other medications but Vyvanse works the best for me (except for the mood swings). I am almost never hungry. I have lost about 22lbs in 2 months. It's important to keep a regular eating schedule. I continue to try different medications, but this one has extremely changed my life for the better in school and in social settings."


"I was prescribed metronidazole 2x a day for 7 days after almost a month of suffering from horrible, intense itching of my vulva, it turned out to be BV. I was nervous on taking any antibiotics,  it always made me nauseous and have the runs.  My boyfriend suggested that I take probiotics 2 hours before taking my antibiotics, he said it will help with the side effects. I tried it and it worked, I took my meds around 12 hours apart with 2 probiotic gummies . I'm finally done with my 7 days and had almost no side effects, except a little light headedness on the first 2 days. I highly recommend taking the probiotics before every pill, it will reduce all side effects and will save all the good bacteria that the antibiotics kill."


"Today is my 9th day on this medication, the first day I had no symptoms as the days went by it got worse very nauseous everyday after that, I am extremely tired and have a metal taste in my mouth all day that makes me even more sick to my stomach, I recommend chewing gum, some cramping and black stool. I hope this medicine takes care of the problem. Taking breathing test in a month, fingers crossed."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"No side effects and its very easy to take."


"I have used several types of pains medications before and never had the actual 10 to 12 hour relief that they promised as I have found with Methadose/Methadone. Long lasting relief and completely affordable for anyone paying cash for their prescriptions."


"Like the others mention, I was put on Asacol after a hospital stay which included high doses of prednisone and transfusions. I was prescribed Asacol and have been flare free for just over 1 year now. Occasionally I experience slight nausea after taking it, but I have found that taking it with a meal reduces or eliminates that problem. I intend to continue to take this medicine because I feel it has allowed me to live a normal life again."


"At the beginning of the year, I was diagnosed this medicine for headaches, not anxiety. I did not even tell my doctor about my anxiety since I was used to dealing with it for years on my own. After only a few doses, my headaches were controlled and even better my anxiety was gone! I felt better than I have in years and had control of my life again! I only take a few doses around my menstrual cycle because that's when the worst headaches occur. I will still feel anxiety in certain situations but not in every day life. I'm not a big fan of any pills but I signed up for this site to share my experience with this medicine and hope it works for others as well!"


"I'm  48 year old female and I've had arthritis and fibromyalgia since 2008. Have tried many medications which am allergic to most. I have also been diagnosed with RA recently.  My mother has it so probably got passed to me. I've been on steroids and muscle relaxes they help me with no side effects. My rheumatologist just put me on humira. I've givign myself 4 injection praying for some relief. But I am actually feeling worse. Doc says it's just my body getting worse but I'm thinking my body doesn't like the medication.  I'm going to give it 3 more months of I don't get to feeling worse. Was really counting on this medication to help me."


"After a few years on SSRI's with recurring switches to hypomania I was put on Cymbalta   Lithium. First there was a great antidepressant effect, but soon after I was told to raise the dose, I switched into a period of mania, making me aggressive. Since two years I don't take any antidepressants and have not been hypomanic/manic a single time."


"Do not buy!!! Long story short. Horrible cramps, thought I was dying or felt like I needed to go to the hospital. Horrible nausea. It works, but is sooooo not worth the pain and discomfort."


"I have been on Effexor for 15 years 150MG per day except for a 1 year period ending about 6 months ago.  It is very effective for me.  It made me tired when I first started it, but it was worth sticking through that.  For my time not taking it, I was on Zoloft which didn't work as well.  Effexor has kept me from depression but it does other things for me.  First, it reduces my inattentiveness to near nothing.  Therefore, I am very productive at whatever I do.  Second, it greatly reduces anxiety.  Stress does not cripple me any longer while on this medication.

Going off the medication has a weird withdrawal symptom that isn't painful, it's just odd.  Do not go off the medication without a doctor assisting."


"I tried this product for about a week and I had a terrible terrible breakout. I always hear great stories, however I could not get pass the purge. I discontinued after 1 week."


"I take this for breakthrough nausea when I have chemo. Though it can make me sleepy, which isn't always welcome, I'm very glad to have a non-constipating alternative to Zofran (also for nausea)."


"It's better than using nothing and provides a modicum of relief.  The biggest problem is that it only lasts 8 hours. I have to use two back up antihistimines once the xyzal wears off."


"Is this drug helping anyone with fibromyalgia. "


"I was reading this before my liletta insertion and I was terrified. I just had mine inserted 30 minutes ago and I'm already at the gym working out. It was a little crampy when they were measuring but other than that my experience was nothing like these horror stories. No pain at all just slight discomfort, nothing more than my normal annual. This is my second iud, I had paraguard first and now this liletta and both experiences were the same. Good luck ladies"


"I just started this 6 days ago.  I have been dizzy, had headaches and nausea since day 3.  Also, just like other reviewers have noted, i have cystic acne on my forehead and even some on my back.  I have never had a pimple on my back and I am over 40!  I am switching to another pill right away."


"I took Dilantin for over 20 years and always felt tired. I regularly had seizures 2-3 times a year while taking this medicine. My doctor took me off Dilantin and I transitioned to Levetiracetam (Keppra) because long term use of Dilantin can promote osteoporosis. I have been seizure free ever since and experience no side effects. I also feel more energy as a result of getting off Dilantin."


"z packs never get rid of the problem. I start to feel better and when the pills are done issue comes back full force an I end up feeling even worse. I don't have this issue with any other antibiotic. I have asked not to be prescribed it anymore."


"I will never use this prep again. I had severe nausea and vomiting and ended up with a headache that was akin to a migraine x 3. I couldn't really say if I got "cleaned out" enough because I did not even get to the point to where I could do the second bottle. I am on my way to the pharmacy to see what else I can take. My colonoscopy is on Monday. If there is no other prep that I can do then I am cancelling the whole thing."


"Tikosyn did restore sinus rhythm following unsuccessful cardioversion. As others have mentioned, cost is staggering and hoping for relief at some point. Side effects so far are fatigue and truly annoying headaches."


"I love this cream!!! I suffered extremely bad with acne and i tried everything! Nothing would work but then i got this and about 2 weeks after using it everynight i have such clear skin! Everyone has noticed i honestly can not tell you how well this worked on me as my acne was literally taking over my life best cream for acne out in my opinion"


"My psychiatrist and I decided to give this a try when my Effexor was helping my depression but not my anxiety. I was also having constant episodes of insomnia and felt angry all the time. 50 mg wasn't enough, so we upped it to 150 mg, where I felt great--my anxiety was eradicated and I was able to sleep fine, but I was still having an issue with anger. We went up to 300 mg as a last ditch effort to help the anger and all that did was make me really groggy and out of it all the time, which actually made my anxiety worse. So we went back down to 150 mg, and that's where I am.

All in all I really like my Seroquel, but I feel like it made me gain weight a bit easier--not a large amount but between 5-10 pounds, but my diet also isn't great."


"I was really irritated and aggressive all the time. My patience was almost non-existent. I broke my car window when I started taking this drug."


"I have used Celebrex for my knee pain, but I still have some pain in my knee (may be slow effect). Then I change to take Voltaren rapid 25, now the pain have totally disappeared."


"Smoked for years, including several when I was already taking Buproprion for depression.  Tried patches, Nicorette brand made me witchy, generics worked better, but still itchy-twitchy & restless.  Gum was good, but still had peaks & troughs.  Inhaler seemed to deliver nicotine more effectively, but still had "mud brain" from the lack of nicotine.

Hit it down the middle by using a very low dose patch to keep serum levels steady and suppressing urges with the inhaler.  Probably wouldn't have tried the inhaler if my insurance had not covered it and if I had not received the cheapest, most ineffective patches the first time around from Walgreen's.  Combo therapy works.  Try it!"


"23 y.o - Gave me cystic acne down my spine (that I never had) that took 6-7 months to resolve, horrible cramps, a cyst on my right ovary, and made sex painful. The insertion felt horrible,  and having to check my strings monthly, was pretty annoying. This is the most abnormal response to any birth control (pill or ring) I have personally experienced."


"I took Celexa for 3 months at 20mg daily to treat depresson from

bipolar disorder type I. I didn't notice a significant change in my mood.

I discontinued due to nausea, lethargy, and difficulty achieving orgasm."


"Family wanted me to quit for over a year, after about 4 years of smoking full pack a day smoker for at least 3 years. I didn't really care to quit too much. I stuck to taking the pills when I was supposed to and allowing myself to smoke cheap crappy cigarettes 3 weeks into the program and then I just refused to keep buying cigarettes. I quit smoking and quit Chantix. I allow myself a cigarette every few days or weeks out of social behavior but the cravings aren't out of control anymore. I highly suggest trying Chantix no matter where you are at as a smoker and even if you would just like a little to quit. Quitting for me went from a 3rd time failure to a 4th time cakewalk. Patches, gum, and cold turkey all failed where Chantix worked."


"I was on Yaz for about 6 months about 2 years ago and loved it. It made my skin great, I lost weight, controlled my crazy mood swings, and totally increased my sex drive. I was put on it because I had gotten pregnant on a different pill. The only reason I stopped was to try the Nuvaring which was the worst idea ever. I stopped that, and for whatever reason the doctor didn't put me back on Yaz, just a different generic of something else that made me lose libido, gain weight, get acne everything bad. Then I decided to stop taking birth control all together to try and get pregnant. Didn't work, still all bad mood swings and acne but found out about polycystic ovarian syndrome. Going back on Yaz tomorrow, only thing that keeps me from being crazy."


"I have been having headaches for about five months and the doctor prescribed me Fioricet and it does nothing for my headaches."


"Bad chol at 48 (about 156). Total chol at 148 and good chol at 66 after 5 months with statines. It's amazing."


"Taken fluoxotine before, medication free for 4 years, I remember why I stopped. I know it's not a magic cure and that the first few weeks will always make you feel worse before you start improving but I would never take this again. Sweating, increased anxiety, violent mood swings, weight loss, crying, loss of appetite and an Ambulance trip to A and E due to kidney failure (which I have never suffered before)   nearly 2 weeks off this and my kidney funtions are slowly returning to how they should be.  A lot of time off work however which is now a whole new stress with loss of money and what is increasingly seemingly an addiction to codeine.
PLEASE to anyone taking these, be careful x"


"I am 5'. 105 lbs and was a carpenter for 6 years . I have a bad back 2 disc replaced in neck with a plate & 6 screws which gets cold and the pain goes right down my back . Have had 15 operations . Fibromyalgia and arthritis. Tried morphine and butane patches which made me sick. I take hydrocodone 10 mg 5 X day . Which only lasts 2 to 3 hrs. Grit my teeth the rest of the time (broken a few).  I  started Exalgo   12 mg  yesterday and I started feeling better in about 2 hrs.  This is a miracle, I don't hurt!  There were times I didn't think I could go on and now I have a new lease on life . I hope it continues to keep working ! Happy gal!"


"I am writing to say DO NOT judge by the experience of others - try it yourself.  In my case, after twenty years of stumbling daily through a heavy fog, unable to concentrate, loss of memory, no motivation. Remeron gave me 8 hours of sleep a night, week after week, until I became a new person simply because my body was getting rest.  I made sure only healthy, healthy food was available in my house and did not have any weight gain at all.  For some people this will provide a miraculous turn around - try it like I did - two weeks will give you a good test, no need for six weeks like other drugs.  Start on low dose, don't take it until bedtime, no matter what the doctor says.  Good luck, hope it helps you too."


"My experience with contraceptives has been a rocky one. Levlen, so far, has been the only contraceptive I've tried that did not lead to constant black discharge. I've the implanon and several times have been prescribed slightly different pills, and there was absolutely nothing I could do to regular my discharge and periods, sometimes for months at a time. After taking Levlen for two days, my discharge would return to normal. It is definitely my preferred contraceptive method :)"


"My doctor started me on this. The very first pill I took, I experienced what can only be described as extreme intoxication. My speech slurred, I fell and stumbled, experienced double vision and eventually either passed out or went into a deep sleep. I have not taken any other medications, so this was not an interaction. Never again, folks.

I'm glad it works for some people, but that was one of scariest medication side effects I ever experienced."


"I switched to this from Loestrin FE 1/20 and got my sex drive back, acne cleared up, and I barely notice that I am on this pill. No longer dizzy or hormonally sad, or feeling like everything is cloudy. I also actually have a noticeable period and no longer spot throughout the month. I do have bad cramps again, but I've always had cramps. Best switch!"


"When I first took it, it worked great...I even slept through 2 nights in a row! I haven't done that in so many years, I can't remember how long. But, I got a bladder infection within the first 10 days and since then, have had little to no control once again of my overactive bladder. Am hoping that maybe given a little more time, the pills may kick in again."


"Used Naproxen for sciatica. Even had the prescription strength. It never upset my stomach but didn't help with my pain. "


"On one hand I've found this birth control beautiful. I went on it while I had a boyfriend and was expecting it was something necessary, and even though he left my life it has come with some interesting quirks.

I'm a little conflicted on how I feel they've affected my menstrual cycle. Before any birth control I would have regular monthly periods. But they were heavy, I had to wear overnight pads for all seven days, changing them every three hours. I used to get crippling cramps on my first day.

When I started the implant they changed. My first period was 4 days and so, so, so much lighter. No pain. But since the second month I have not had a day without bleeding. Very very light, barely there. No pain still. So there's my puzzle."


"I have used this medicine (by Taro) for more than 30 years, for psoriasis on my elbows, knees and ankles. I have experienced no side effects and for the last 2 years my psoriasis has gone. The coverage area was not great so I did not use huge amounts of this ointment. I still use it intermitently today."


"I've been on Sprintec for about 6 months now and my face and weight are normal. I was on Lo Loestrin before this, and it messed up my mood so much, made me breakout, gain weight, all the worst possible things.
The only thing with Sprintec, I never had cramps before birth control but now I have cramps. Also the period is super heavy but only lasts 4-5 days, so its a trade-off and at least its regular (I started birth control because my period wouldn't stop)."


"Had an irritating Yeast Infecion for a few days with terrible itchying. Decided to make a doctors appointment for the next morning.. but figured I would try Monistat 1 in the meantime. Put the egg in at 5:30pm... didn't feel much for 3 hours. Became slightly itchy around 9:30 pm but it was definitely bearable and nothing compared to how I had felt the previous days due to the yeast infection. Had discharge (mostly medicine) definitely recommend wearing a pad to bed that night and a little bit the next day as well. Within 24 hours my yeast infection was gone and I was feeling good as new! These reviews all scared me quite a lot but I am very relieved none of the horrible burning/itching happened to me. Would definitely use monistat 1 again!!"


"Doctor prescribed 5mg daily when BP was 150/100, wow 24Hrs. after first dose it was 130/84, continued for fifteen days, the BP came down to 100/70 and I did not feel any difficulty, doctor reduced the dose to 2.5mg daily, BP was unstable at 90/70 to 100/70 reduced the dose to 1.25mg, still it was 100/70. Doctor stopped medication, BP gradually increased again now it is stable at 130/90 without any medication, with 2km brisk walk daily. I am 47, my father 79 120/85, mother 120/80. No history of heart failure in family."


"32yr old female with copd and asthma. After trying several inhalers Xopenex is the best by far for me. Have experienced no side effects and it significantly opens my airways."


"Smoked for 16 years.  Was around pack and a half a day if more before Chantix.  One year anniversary was in Nov 2014."


"Now I can get through the day without the fog and work like a normal human being. It is a miracle."


"It was a nice feeling to have all the pain in my body gone. Morphine dids wonders."


"I have suffered with migraines for years; with them comes nausea and vomiting. I have just started taking,"zofran", twice. Thank goodness it has helped. I was tired of suppositories."


"This birth control is AWFUL. I was on it for 3 months, and now it's in the trash. My back hurt constantly, my breasts weren't just "tender" they were painful and it even hurt to gentle touch them. My period came twice a month and the cramps were awful. Even weirder, it made my nipples change color. They were first pink and then brown, which caused quite a panic for me since different colored nipples are a sign of pregnancy. After 5 negative tests and a doctor visit, they chalked it up to birth control. The only positive is that I didn't get pregnant."


"Restavit does work! I find it absorbs quicker by taking only ONE tablet before I eat the first mouthful of dinner as the later I leave it the longer it takes to work. E.g. if its 8pm I could feel dozy 15-90 mins after tablet been consumed. The hangover feeling is there at times, however it can make you feel worse if its closer to that time of month....for ladies."


"Unlike some benzodiazepines like lorazepam, which is short acting, Valium is much better for those with social anxiety instead of once in awhile panic attacks. Valium is in the system for longer. Lasting effects are often desired as the medication will not need to be taken as often. This fact has been great for people who greatly fear addiction and overdose as a result of short acting benzodiazepines.

I personally, was previously on Lorazepam for serious anxiety. Even though I was on in for several months, addiction or overdose was never a problem for me. However, I don't like taking pills generally, especially very often. Out of safety and convenience I was placed on Valium. It works much better for me."


"I had this birth control in for 3 years I get it out today. I stuck with it to see if things would change.... they didnt. But I didn't get pregnant so it served it's purpose. I would go two months without a period then a whole month with a period. Im 20lb from the weight I was when I gave birth. I feel like I have retained weight. I worked out ate healthy. Never could lose the weight. I'm so excited to remove this today to see if I can finally lose the weight that has been bothering me."


"I have had stomach issues since I was a kid. I was recently prescribed Bentyl up to 4 times a day. It works great, calms my stomach and digestive system down like nothing else I have tried over the counter in the stores has. It can make me a little fuzzy headed or tired on occasion but it doesn't happen every time. I will take that small side effect over my stomach problems any day. I highly recommend it."


"My daughter has been taking this for about 2 months and it seems to be working besides she has been really disrespectful to everyone witch we have not seen with her before with her other meds."


"I have been taking Ambien for over 2 years now and other than doing things and not remembering about doing it later I love it. But it's not for everyone. My hubby can take it and be out for 2 days straight so be careful."


"After a short addiction to roxicodone I was steered into a methadone clinic and I tried to quit for a little over 2 years and I just couldn't do it cold turkey!  I've been on Subutex and Suboxone. They both are amazing! Saved my life!  I just wish more people were educated on this medication. I have never gotten "high" from buprenorphine. If more people knew how to obtain this treatment I'm sure they would!"


"I've been on this for a month, and there have been no problems with it. My everyday life goes on normally, except now I just take a birth control pill nightly."


"I suffered severe side effects & seemingly withdrawal symptoms after only 9 days of use for pneumonia.
Main symptoms experienced:
Hypertension
Headache
Nausea
Abdominal discomfort
Rapid pounding heartbeat/pulse
Lethargy
Mental confusion - trouble thinking, foggy brain
Bad taste in mouth
General feeling of unwell - felt like I was being poisoned.
Day 1: 2x 25mg
Day 2-5: 1x25mg
Day 6-9: 1/2 25mg"


"Going on 2 weeks and already gain 6 pounds.. Everything I  couldn't eat I'm eating and having taste too..."


"I actually was taking this through high school because of depression and severe insomnia and it worked wonders.  As I got older though, I stopped taking it and recently the sleep problems have started back up again. My doctor gave me 100 mg tabs of trazadone (the generic) and I had really bad headaches when I woke up in the mornings.  I think it was because when I was in High School, I was taking between 25-50mg.  Bought a pill splitter and I split the 100mg tablets into quarters and take 1-2 of them to equal the approximate dose of 25-50mg I was taking.  So far so good and I haven't had the headaches so far...been doing this for a couple days so far."


"I have hot flashes, stomach issues, pressure in my head/ears when standing, and falling asleep much too easily. "


"I just wanted to thank everyone who has posted on this site about clarithromycin and the side effects they've had, as I thought I was losing my mind from the hallucinations and crazy dreams this antibiotic has caused me. It's a relief to know it's not just me, although obviously I don't want others to suffer! After two days on this antibiotic for sinusitis and inner ear infection, I have literally felt like I was dying, fever, chills, anxiety and then at night hallucinating, which is really scary, especially when you don't know what's causing it. So thank god I found this site and now can link the clarithromycin to the side effects of the last two days. I have now stopped taking it and am going to ask for a different type of antibiotic."


"I am a 48 year old male in good shape but started experience horrible gas no matter what I ate which went on for months.  I woke up with cramps which lasted to mid morning.  I did not have constipation nor diarrhea just bad gas even on a simple diet of rice, toast and bananas.  My Dr diagnosed IBS and gave me 20mg of Amitripyline at night.  10mg for the first week then 20mg every night.  After the second week the cramping was 95% better and the gas was completely gone.  As an added benefit it took the edge off certain work related stress.  I am very happy my Dr put me on this medication."


"Used to treat panic symptoms of anxiety. Quite effective for me with little side effects"


"This is amazing for anxiety / panic attacks. I could nt be without this for when my anxiety levels peak. Its the onlt thing that works that brings me back down some bit and relaxes me. It really is a god send for anxiety / panic. I am taking this 2 years now but only take it when I really need it. Would highly highly highly recommend this. Its just brillant and side effects are non existent as far as I am concerned. I take the 250mg dose which is a white tab"


"I have had nexplanon a little over a year now. Unlike other people who stopped getting a period, I literally spot every day and it is frustrating. I have to wear a liner everyday, but the bleeding is not enough to consider to be a period. I feel as though ever since I got this, I have much more drastic mood swings, really bad and I feel like I am depressed sometimes but don't want to get help because the next day I will be perfectly fine. I lost my insurance card and really don't have the money to get the thing out right now so I feel like I am stuck. Even considered cutting the thing out myself at some low points (such as right now) Would really like to go back on the pill and feel normal again"


"Okay because I don't have to give my real name I can be truthful.  I was getting into my farm truck on a very hot day, 97 with a heat index of 111. Wearing shorts as I always do I slid right in, in a matter of seconds I knew I was in trouble, you see the black gorilla tape I have on my seat to cover the rips had come lose and proceeded to stick to me making it very difficult to slide out. Needless to say I experienced my very first burn in "that" area, worse than any heat rash I've ever had. Of course I didn't go to the doctor but had this stuff left over from another burn and when it started to blister and I realized I could hardly walk I applied this and it worked great. No embarrassing explanation to the doctor just fast pain relief."


"When I first started, I had two periods in one month. I'm hoping this isn't going to keep happening."


"I have been on Contrave for 6 days now, and lost 4 pounds! I'm excited, and can't wait to see how much more I will lose. I have so much energy now. I love having sex now because I have the energy. I'm loving Contrave."


"If I could give this medicine a 0 for acne I would. I've been on it for years because it's the only birth control that seriously regulates my heavy periods, but it makes my skin horrible. I'm in my 20's and my skin looks like a 13 year old's. It gives me horrible cystic acne that no face treatment can clear up. I've tried everything. I didn't have this type of acne in my teens and I was never seriously prone to it before starting this medicine."


"Getting the Paragard was the best decision I have ever made for myself. For the first 3 months, I bled much heavier than normal and experienced some severe cramps. However, by the 4th month, my bleeding and cramps significantly reduced. I have a moderate flow, heavier than I had before Paragard, but it is very manageable. I cramp still, maybe once every four months. I do not like taking hormonal birth control. With Paragard, your period does not disappear (something that worried me to no end), and you don't have to worry about missing pills or dealing with weird side effects like becoming emotionally unstable (pills made me suicidal) or gaining weight. Not to mention Paragard is probably the most cost effective birth control available."


"My son five has ADHD and anxiety and still further diagnosing. He was on it for a month and half and he was so awesome on it. Dr did 40 mg a day and love how it works throughout whole day. Unfortantly insurance did not want to approve before age six and it cost over 370 dollars. I've gone through way too many medicines with him. Once he turns six you best to believe we are going right back to it!"


"The first three days on Avelox were difficult. It made me feel disoriented, dizzy and sleepy. I had to rearrange my days to accommodate a 2 hour nap everytime I took it. I got used to the medicine by day 4...so give it time. It cleared up my sinus and double ear infection which persisted after full courses of both Augmentin and Bactrim. Also, I did not feel better until about 4-5 days on the medicine, so don't feel discouraged if you don't feel great right away."


"I started this medication in July of 2011, by the time September rolled around I went from 267 to 243 thats almost 25 pounds in 2 months. I did change my eating habits and exercised as well. The pills stop my appetite at one point, so I made sure to schedule my meals and even water because the medication did dry my mouth. I am a really anxious person and I was glad to have something that helped and did not cause my anxiety levels to rise."


"This pill was horrid. I had irregular periods with a very heavy flow, mood swings, depression, anxiety, anger issues, cramps, etc. This is the worst pill I've ever taken. Gave it a 3 because it worked as a birth control but other than that it's a 1"


"I had the Norovirus last year and took Zofran and it worked very well.  The pills are small and dissolve easily on your tongue so you don't have to drink water and risk throwing up the medicine.  If possible, I think it would be great to offer this medication over the counter."


"Took two pills around 11:30pm had cramps and nausea all night. Woke up at 7:30 and decided to try to go to the bathroom. In the 10 steps it took to get to the bathroom I already felt faint, nauseous and had cold sweats. Passed out on the toilet so I crawled back to bed for a few minutes before feeling the worst cramps of my life. Crawled back to bathroom and did produce a bm but while I was washing my hands went completely unconscious, fell and split my chin on my bathtub, not bad enough to get stitches but still. I was so weak I couldn't even type my phone password in to call for help. Finally my roommate found me but come on... this pill should not be on the market. Unbelievable the FDA approves this for otc."


"THIS WAS HORRIBLE! I have the 7 day one and I am currently on day 1. After showering and inserting the medicine, I felt immense pain and burning. I tried fanning, holding my legs up, squeezing, hopping around and that didn't work. I eventually grabbed a towel and wiped as much as I could from the outside, which helped some. I took some Benadryl and used a(n) ice pack, so hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow."


"I have many different problems. I broke my lower back, my pelvis in twelve different places, my pubic bone and many other things. Also have a titanium rod my left femur. All due to a wreck I was in 2012. I have been through multiple surgeries. SI joint injection (which made my pain 10 times worse). Many different medications. Nothing has worked. But belbuca has made an amazing difference in my pain. I also get nerve block shots and just recently had my nerves in my back cauterized. This along with belbuca has made me feel alive again. Yes I still have daily pain. Yes I still wake up popping cracking and groaning from pain. But I take my medication and my pain level goes from a 9/10 to 4/5 pretty fast. Couldn't be happier!!"


"I been taken this medicine and I am more active and more social with people."


"I was prescribed Strattera for ADD 40 mg. and I was only on it for 6 days. I was warned about the side effect of having nausea and to eat before taking meds in the morning. I started Strattera on a Saturday morning and by that night I had diarrhea so bad that I thought I would have to sleep sitting on the toilet, I also had the feelings of being constantly angry,  I had really bad headaches, depression,  tireness, it worsened my anxiety and any time I would eat I ended up on the toilet for quite a while.  I was put on Strattera to help me with my ADD lack of concentration, etc,  needless to say, it didn't work what so ever. My poor butt thanked me when I quit taking it, hahaha."


"I just had my 1st bout of diverticulitis and am now being treated with cipro and flagyl. I was in ER for a few hours with IV antibiotics then sent home, this was wed. night and i started treatment thursday. The pain has eased up but i feel tired a lot, feel depressed and spaced out, and went from being constipated to diarrhea. My urine looks dark like beer, bitter taste in mouth, gas and burbling noises...not fun. But considering how sick i was before treatment (fever, abdominal pain, terrible diarrhea...thought it was the gastro) this isn't so bad. Every day it seems to improve...i hope this clears up and I will do my utmost to make sure I never have another flareup again."


"Took 2 pills at 2:30am, by 730am I had awoke to the worst cramps of my life. I've suffered from mixed irritable bowel syndrome for virtually my while life, and while I've experienced bad cramps before, this was a whole new level. I thought my wife was going to have to take me to the hospital.

My symptoms were cold sweats, uncontrollable shaking, TERRIBLE cramps, nausea, feeling faint.. I just wanted it to stop. They persisted for a good hour, until I was able to get some relief through passing stool. It does work, but for people like myself with IBS it's not worth going through what I experienced for a decent BM. Will not use again."


"I personally get more results with 1 mg. I've been using these for 5 years to treat my anxiety."


"The drug worked in the sense that it completely numbed me, at least mentally. It also numbs you a bit from the waist down if you are on a high enough dosage - you will have little to no libido. I felt like a zombie and have never experienced this much apathy in my life. I was only on 50mg and started to feel this way after 2-3 weeks. I continued on until 7 weeks to give my doctor the benefit of the doubt. I have never cared less about everything in my entire life - relationships, work, physical activity - I had no motivation for any of these any more. I would come home from work and just sleep until the next day due to lack of motivation. Extremely scary, would not touch it again."


"I must say I am so surprised and starting to get excited again. These are feelings I haven't felt in years. I was told about Trintelix from a friend who said it helps stop the worry and Yes it does exactly that. I am
 pleased and I've only been taking it two weeks. Looking forward to brighter days."


"I was prescribed this medicine when I was a young child for ADHD. I took it all the way though my high school years until I decided I didn't need it. I backed this theory by saying "It made me feel funny and zone out". I stopped taking it and since then I dropped out of school, picked up a drug problem and have been in and out of jail. I know I can't blame this on not taking medicine but I do know I didn't do any of that stuff when I was taking it. I was a pretty good kid. I recently got my G.E.D and am going to be attending college in the fall. I am actually trying to get back on this medicine so I can stay focused. I am excited to see whats in store in the future. But what I am really trying to say this drug works wonders."


"M doctor prescribed me Alesse and gave me a 3 month sample to try it out and I was happy with it, so I went & picked up the presription but the pharmacy gave me aviane because it was covered by my health insurance. I didn't think twice about it. After a month or 2, during my 2nd week of pills, I started getting really bad cramping & back aches, & had to have frequent bowel movements(mostly in the middle of the night & the morning & took forever).I thought that because I had Ovarian Cysts before & this felt like them, it could be them again. I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago & he said that there were no cysts and that it is probable that the Aviane is messing up my bowels. he wrote he a new script requesting not to give me aviane."


"I was diagnosed with B.E.D, P.T.S.D, and Depression.  My doctor put me on this medication about a week ago and I feel so much better!  I have tried a lot of other anti-depressants and none of them have ever worked for me.  They would make me sleep more (and usually I sleep like 14-16 hours a day anyway) and just feel emotionally numb.  I am currently sleeping 8 hours a night and waking up feeling energized.  It has also helped with the B.E.D.  Yesterday was my first day not having the issues I usually have with food.  I seen some comments that say the person felt good for a while and then in wore off.  I am currently on 150MG and on Monday I will increase to 300MG.  I will comment again when I have been on it for a few months :)"


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


"Prescribed mirtazine 10mg for depression & insomnia. Not a good sleeper at the best of times. 1st night slept ok, well better than I had. Maybe just a couple of hrs but any sleeps better than none. Since then, the odd night a bit of sleep but nothing significant. Don't really feel any benefit as of yet but only been on it for a wk & half. Keeping fingers xd it starts to lift my mood & kicks in to help me sleep better. Thinking of taking valerion or kalms alongside it. Hoping this is ok"


"I love Mirena. I am 20, and have no children, but I had it inserted about a year and a half ago now. The insertion process was quite painful, and I had cramps the rest of the day. But since then, I have not had a period, or even any spotting. The only down side is that I have gained about 25 lbs, but with some strict dieting the weight is starting to come off slowly. Overall, I love it!"


"This is pure poison, I have very bad side effects from this poison and the doctor said he can do nothing, the physical and mental pain is so bad , hot flashes, very high blood pressure, head aches every day, pain urinating, joint pain, mental confusion , brain fog, memory loss, total itchy all over, sleeplessness , very bad fatigued, and a lot more, my doctor never told me anything about this poison just injected my with a 6 month supply, at 6,000.00."


"I have endometriosis and this is the only pill that will keep periods from happening when taking continuous active pills."


"Began last year and took for 4 months successfully. Lost about 12 to 16 lbs easily. Victoza suppressed my appetite by the means explained in the literature; apparently my stomach contents are slow to pass through to the small intestine, so the sensation of fullness remains. Constipation is my main problem. When titrating up I experience GERD and some discomfort; this has probably kept me awake 2 or 3 nights total. After discontinuing in 2016 I restarted again this July 2017 with the same successful results (I had gained weight back through my own carelessness). I have lost about 10 lbs in 2 weeks, not a healthy rate, perhaps, but it reflects my appetite suppression. Be careful when titrating up. I am back at 1.8 now."


"Cleared up the UTI right away, but I took the third dose on an empty stomach because my doctor said not to take it within 2 hours of dairy and I'm a regular coffee with cream drinker. Threw up that dose within about 20 minutes. That's pretty common with antibiotics so it's annoying, but a UTI is worse and I'll be fine once I've eaten. Some of these scary reviews are pure conjecture and people seldom write reviews when they're happy. I found this page when googling whether vomiting with cipro was common and if it would be better not to take on an empty stomach."


"Well I started using retin a cream .25 about a month and 3 weeks ago. I started by using every 3 day for one month and then using it every other day. My face has gotten red and my acne scars seem to be more noticeable but around my eyes are really white, so you can imagine how I look. Well I'm not sure if this is part of the process, I'm going to stick with it one more month and see what happens. I use cerave pm moisturizer after applying and yes I use a moisturizer with spf 50 during the day that is a cetaphil product. So I really hope this is just a phase I'm going through, I'll update in a month."

"I have been taking TriNessa for about a year and a half now and I have now decided to quit taking it. I can admit that it is excellent in keeping one from becoming pregnant. But I think that the negatives overpower the positives. For one, it changed my personality. I have become very mean and over tempered. Also my sex drive has plummeted and I don't even want to be touched. My boyfriend and I used to have almost daily spontaneous sex and it was both physical and emotional. Now we have sex like once a week, and we both agree that afterwards we felt like it was too much of a task."


"I've been on Levora for a month and a half. The first couple weeks I was super emotional and wanted to quit, but the emotions have gone away. I've gained maybe two pounds and my acne has mostly gone away. I've also noticed a decrease in facial hair."


"I had horrible acne all over my cheeks. After about 3 months being on Yaz, Adoxa and using Epiduo gel my acne is completely gone. I might get a small pimple every once in a while but it's hardly noticeable. I have tried everything possible to get rid of acne but this is the only thing that actually works."


"It's been a month now and I'm still spotting so don't be surprised ladies. That part is the worst, other than that no issues. It does make intimacy issues due to the spotting. No significant acne changes or weight gain. Spotting and cramps seemed to have decreased so I'm waiting for the day it stops altogether. So far really enjoying it and knowing I'm protected."


"Absolutely a joke... gave me rage and did nothing for my ADHD symptoms. PASS!"


"I've been on Paxil for about 15 years. Dosage is 20mg per day. I felt relief from my depression symptoms almost immediately, contrary to most other folks. It's been a very good treatment for me. Recently had to up the dosage due to a closed head injury suffered at work. My depression came back hard and crushing. The higher dose (40mg/day) is working very well. I have noticed a lot of folks have reported needing more sleep when on the drug.......... I have had that problem for years. Might be the Paxil. It has not ever interfered with my work life, but boy, it has been hard to get out of bed for years and I never could put my finger on the reason. Good luck to everybody !"


"I've had terrible migranes since I was 5 years old sometimes lasting 4 days and I'm 18 now, I've taken everything you can think of all of which had absolutely no effect on the migraine at all! I found excedrin at a dollar general and I only to half a dose and within 15 min my migrane was completley gone. It's like Magic. To bad it took me 11 years to find it!"


"It took me 15 years of horrible struggles with all types of acne. Cysts, whiteheads, blackheads - everything. My dermatologist had put me on antibiotics which never worked. I got depressed and didn't even want anyone to see my face and lost a lot of confidence. Acutane has been the only thing that clears my skin and even made me feel younger."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I've had the h.pylori infection for at least a few years but this year it got to a point where I couldn't handle it.  I had severe gastritis and couldn't eat anymore.  Some days the food I ate over the course of a day wouldn't even add up to one meal.  The treatment was not pleasant, but tolerable.  It's a lot of pills to take in one day and I felt exhausted some of the days.  A few weeks after I finished the treatment, I noticed that I no longer have immediate pain and nausea when I try to eat.  Now (4 months later) I can almost eat a full meal and feel ok.  It took a while to recover but it was very much worth it."
