"The gel worked at first clearing my skin quickly, but then it stopped working and all my acne came back even worse."


"I was prescribed this after suffering from insomnia for several years. Tried OTC sleeping pills which made me feel hyper all night and just a sick overall feeling. Ambien is not for long-term use, as I have learned. Ambien was fantastic the first year I took it. I would look forward to taking it, feeling peaceful, and going to bed. In the past year, I take it, feel sick and hungover-y, and decide to go lay down. I do fall asleep but wake up in the morning feeling sick and with a headache. I have to drag myself out of bed. I know it is from taking Ambien for too long, so I am switching to something else. Was helpful for about a year."


"I have had the Implanon for almost 3 years now. After reading some of these reviews I finally realized I'm not the only person experiencing these types of problems. But I have to say I have not wound up pregnant yet, so I would have to say this is a great birth control."


"I have had MDD for the past seven years. Within this period I have tried many SSRI's including Wellbutrin, Prozac, Lexapro, Celexa, and others. I have experienced the gamut of side effects including diarrhea, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, overactive bladder; you name it. Some medications even made me bipolar.

I began taking Viibyrd in the summer of 2012. Although it took a few months, my rational thinking capacity returned to normal. My energy was fully restored. My sexual function returned and I have minimal side effects. I have fully returned to the person that I was seven years ago. In essence, I have my life back.

I would recommend that you give this medication a try!"


"Makes me tired sometimes and bleed a lot when cut but a necessary drug for me. 6 heart attacks and quadruple bypass surgery all in 1 day. That was Easter of 2008. Still alive...but not the man I used to be."


"Awful.

Took the medication before bed as directed by the box, and woke in the middle of the night to extreme stomach pain and nausea.

I spent several hours lying on the bathroom floor, feeling like I may die.

It cleared up the constipation, but it went from one extreme to another.

This is not worth it! I would way rather be constipated!!"


"Seems like a good idea to have 4 periods in a year but I've been on it for about a year now, and on the last month I get my period for 3-4 weeks, NOT COOL! Plus sex drive plummeted."


"On 7/19/11 I had a routine A1C and my Doctor called me during the weekend to tell me to drink lots of water and stay away from sugar.  My A1C was 11.0 and he was really worried.  I started on Metformin 1000 mg a day and then 2000 mg a day.  My blood sugar was still consistently in the mid 200's.  They started me on Byetta mid-August.  After getting used to the nausea, the 5 mcg dose was fine (started 8/4/2011).  I switched to the 10 mcg dose one month and once again spent 3-4 weeks dealing with almost crippling nausea that not only made me sick, but worsened my panic problems.  I stuck through it though because I could see the changes in my blood sugar. Yesterday 12/26/11 A1C is 5.5 and I have lost 25 lbs.  Dr gave me high five!"


"I have had insomnia related to my fibromyalgia for sometime. When my doctor suggested I try trazadone I was skeptical. Now I never want to be without it. It has done wonders for my sleep and the quality of my sleep. No grogginess or trouble waking up. I would recommend it for those that have trouble both getting to sleep and staying asleep."


"I'm 21 years old and this pill has helped clear my acne and has stopped my period cramps. Ive been taking birth control since i was 16 and this has been  the best one with less side effects. When i first stared it, it gave me migraines but that quickly went away after the first month. I am really happy with this pill"


"I started contrave on 1/2/16.  I am 5 ft 7 inches and my starting weight was 241.4.  I am 33 years old and have always struggled with weight.  Immediately I noticed that my mood was improved.  I also have almost no desire to drink alcoholic beverages or smoke (which I was doing fairly regularly).  I have had minimal side effects up to this point besides the occasional constipation or headache.

As of today I weighed in at 229.8.  Not sure if this is the progress that is expected but so far I am happy.  That puts me at a loss of approximately 0.55lbs per day for the past 21 days."


"No side affects at all.  I lost 20 pounds the first two months then I started slacking on taking my pills correctly and gained about 8 back.  It's been fluctuating for about 4-5 weeks but that's my fault.

I'm going to keep at it."


"I too, had tried all the tricyclic's, SSRI's and SNRI's along with helper drugs for anxiety and insomnia. I went on Parnate 4 years ago and it's the ONLY drug that has consistently worked at keeping my depression in check. After a depressive episode that almost killed me, the decision was made to try it. There is no "poop out". The MAOI diet everyone one freaks out over is NOT that bad - just be mindful of what you eat. Following instructions for safe use of this drug is nothing compared to the relief of clinical depression!"


"I love Mucinex. I was at the store debating which expectorant to buy because I had so much phlegm in my nose and throat. By looking at the ingredients, Mucinex has a higher dosage of expectorant and cough suppressant versus other brands. I needed something really strong! I took one tablet before I slept and then when I woke up in the morning, the phlegm was almost fully gone!! I was going the whole week without this and unable to breathe. Will definitely take this the next time I get a cold. Only downside is that it's costly compared to other brands... But you get what you pay for [:"


"Started off on this drug August 2 of this year at 100mg. Within 10 days was being treated for severe dehydration. Increased fluid intake and dosage was upped to 300mg. Now in October, glucose numbers are down to normal, have lost 38 lbs, but side effects are unbearable. Severe itching, leg and hand cramps all night long and yeast infections are too frequent. Tired all the time. I agree it works, but at what cost?? Miserable diabetic!! I'm not going to take it anymore. I'm done fighting!!"


"Not a fan. Doctor switched me from Lexapro. Within two days I was nauseated and my balance was thrown. Same with taking 10 mgs in 11 days. Now I'm irritated and normally  not on Lexapro. Going back to my old SSRI on my own.  Still have some left. I'm giving up on Trentillex since my husband is ready to leave me if I continue."


"Stay away! I got my first shot September 22, 2015. I was good no bleeding or anything! November 16, 2015.... The bleeding started and I have been bleeding every since. In December I stopped for about a week before Christmas. It started again in full force. I thought the bleeding was due to my fibroids that I had removed in January of 2016. They gave me a second shot on December 29th and here it is, after I had my surgery, I am STILL bleeding. So now o know that the bleeding wasn't caused by the fibroids, but the removal of the fibroids did cause my bleeding to be light and not as heavy as it was. I hate this shot and I will be glad when it wears off! I will never get this mess again "


"I have been taking Yaz for around 5 months and am absolutely miserable. I felt fine over the first two months, and eventually the side effects reared its ugly head. I have never weighed this much in my life, I gained about 20 pounds. I cry every night and am extremely irritable, especially to my poor boyfriend who does not deserve any of it.  I was on Loestrin 24 Fe for around 2 years, worked as a birth control pill, didn't gain any weight, was able to lose weight, wasn't moody, only had slight acne... which is why my gynecologist put me on Yaz. I'd rather have terrible acne than feel the way I do on this pill."


"Holy Moly...... please spare yourself the trouble. Either go to your gynecologists office for oral meds or use a natural remedy.There are lots of natural remedies I've used in the past and I should’ve done that this time. Don’t do it. Please don’t do it."


"Took 1 tablet & went in to anaphylaxis within minutes. Had to call for an ambulance in between passing out. Late at night at home alone. Very scary experience. One and only time in my life I've ever had an allergic reaction to anything. Age 55 years. Adrenaline given at hospital emergency Department."


"The new packing is impossible to open. I cannot open the packet. Did you ever hear "if it a'int broke don't fix it"? Why did you change? I like the product now I need to find a new one."


"I just got Liletta removed after giving it a chance for 7 months. I never had an issue with cramps before, but from day 1 on this IUD I had unbearable cramps. After the first few weeks I talked to my doctor who suggested I wait it out, but after 7 months of pain I give up. Within a few minutes of having it removed I experienced relief and am starting to feel normal again. My back pain, abdominal cramps and upper thigh pain disappeared. Everyone's body is different, but I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone. The pain and irregular bleeding are effective birth control because you won't want to have sex anyway. Back to birth control pills for me!"


"I was skeptical at first, considering that this was a generic version of the Plan B, even though my pharmacist assured me it did the exact same things and had the exact same ingredients, and the amount of bad reviews but it works!!! I took it the same day of having unprotected sex and a week and a couple days later my period came on. Just stay calm and try not to stress it'll most likely work!!!"


"This pill made me gain weight and caused unbelievable depression. It also did not properly regulate my period."


"I have only just switched to Lutera after being on the depo shot for 5 years. I haven't gotten pregnant but have had a few other side effects I'm not happy with. For instance, my first 2 periods (after not having one in 5 years) were easy, only lasting a few days and not too painful. The current one has been heavy and horribly uncomfortable. My back pain had me falling over at work."


"I took Orap in my early 20s. My tics were minimal and I only needed Clonidine in my early 30s. I'm having a bout right now and am so scared to take the Orap again due to the side effects I've read up on. Don't know if I should just wait it out or what. I've been stuck in my hose since the end if January. Can't take the stares."


"I have been using Chantix for 2 months and it works. Although after the starter pack I started to experience panic attacks so I stopped taking it. I waited a week or so and started the second pack. Now here comes the horrible part. I have lost 50% of my hair due to Chantix. There is no mention of possible hair loss with this medication. Yes I was able to stop smoking but I think I would rather have my hair."


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD at age 7, we tried adderall for a while, the patch, but he didn't like them. Finally we found Vyvanse. He is 10 years old now prescribed two 10mg pills/day but he takes only takes one in the morning because he was having side effects (lip licking, finger playing). This pill has seriously changed our life's, if you are a parent wondering whether or not to use medication JUST TRY IT. We used to sit for hours after school trying to get home work done. His teacher would tell me he is not completing work and distracting other students. He was falling behind in school and now he is caught up and receiving awards."


"I have a very light abnormal bleeding after intercourse and was prescribed Nora be, I was so scared of taking this due to the fact that I've taken the patch, the shot and the combo pill and they all sucked, they all caused weight gain, hair loss and moodiness and my period lasted FOREVER.  So I expected no less from this pill.  But to my surprise my period stopped when it was supposed too, no bloat, weight gain or hair loss so far.  Guess my body doesn't agree with extra estrogen so  protestrian  it is.  If you have a bad experience with all these estrogen bc's I suggest giving this a try.  Only thing I hate about it is taking it everyday at the same time but dealing with that rather then the estrogen side effect is minor."


"Mirena gave me acne and I have erythema aswell."


"This drug is heaven. I feel no side effects whatsoever. Just 37.5mg a day keeps my depression symptoms at bay. The only minor complaint is a lower sex drive, but that is a given side-effect with antidepressants in general."


"Before your freak out thinking that you're gonna have the worst experience ever on this drug, don't! Most people who have good experiences don't come to these sites and write reviews, it's always the bad ones! I have terrible health anxiety and I'm sensitive to  lots of drugs. I also had C diff 3 months ago (cured by at home Fecal Microbiota Transplantation) so taking an antibiotic again was pretty scary for me.
The side effects I got were a slight headache and nausea for a couple hours after each pill, some gas but no other digestive issues (thank goodness!!!). I was feeling better on the 4th day and have one more day to go. Take it with bread to make it easier on your stomach."


"New year's eve, I went and got my first birth control shot. I've been on the pill but I'm inconsistent and it didn't do much for me. No side effects, except for one.

No period.

This is a possible side effect, but the website says only 50% of users, and only after a year of use. I was hoping for it, but had resigned myself to waiting until 2016.

Both this month and last month, I could feel "phantom cramps" (mine are in my back) but no blood. No pain. Just a very tiny ache, like what it used to feel like before I started. I'm very happy with it, because it used to be bad enough to keep me in bed all day. I just hope it lasts."


"I have taken this pill for 7 years and my gyno recommended a lower dose pill (Yaz).  Yasmin has done wonders for PCOS symptoms of acne, weight gain and overall mood issues.  I am 45 years old and do not smoke.  Overall, it has been an amazing pill."


"It works"


"2mg of xanax works perfectly for my panic attack when i feel one coming on i take one 2mg pill and it takes it away and i am no longer being run by my panic attack."


"I have been on lupron for 3 years. I began the shot in 2013 with a 11 cm fibroid too large for surgery at time. I am now in my late 50's and still testing positive on hormon tests. another words if I go off lupron I a assuming the fibroid will grow again and I will begin again to menstruated and have heavy bleed and large clots.  my headaches became much less and only have hotflashes towards the end of my 3 month shot. I get shots quarterly. my bone density was just shy from normal with no concerns for many years. I take calcium, D3 and K2 (MK7-helps make calcium go to bone not soft tissue like calcification and bone spurs ).

for me is has been the best thing in my life.  I can't imagine why people have bad results. oh and no weight gain."


"I had a heart attack and a stent put in in March of this year I HAD to quit, as I also work in the medical field.  I had smoked for >35 years and I rather loved it, but I KNEW I had to quit.  My own child bet against me that I couldn't do it.  He lost CHANTIX worked like a miracle...  I quit completely after 3 weeks and it's been over 4 months now, and I can say I never want to smoke again.  Just the smell or the non smell of tobacco is wonderful.  I loved my Chantix experience and only side effects I noticed was weird dreams...And some of them were not too bad...Thank you for my life back without smoking...  : )"


"I do have to sleep after taking the regular one but it works the best."


"This medicine is the best thing that ever happened to me....it has done wonders for my Rosacea!!"


"IUD is good at preventing pregnancy.

The side effects of this IUD has been awful. I have been on it for 4 months. I am 110lbs, 5'4'', healthy and I used to have heavy periods that last about a week. First month, I was bleeding heavily for more than 2 weeks, I also had brown discharge. I had cramps that occurred randomly throughout the month that was comparable to getting my IUD inserted, but it was very short whereas before getting this IUD, during the first 2-3 days of period I would have constant dull pain. Bleeding calmed down after, and now at 4 months, my period lasts more than a week. I get light spotting for 3-4 days, then bleeding for 4-5 then brown discharge for several days. Still have bad cramps and am emotional."


"Within a week suffered suicidal thoughts psychosis hallucinations rages and self harming acts!"


"I have 2 kids, got Mirena IUD inserted when my youngest was 2 (5 years ago)
Physically: right from the start no problems whatsoever, no weight gain, no acne, light to none periods. Mentally: the first month and then some was awful. I'd never before experienced mood swings like that before, it was depressing. I wanted it out, but was advised to give it time. So glad I did give it time. After the first few months, it's been great. I've been on an even keel as far as moods go. It's been great! I need to have it out now since this month is the 5 year mark. I definitely want to replace it, just hoping I don't go through what I did the first months of the first time around!!"


"I was prescribed 50 mg to start, and went in with an open mind. After one day I decided it wasn't for me. Maybe 50 mg was too much for me, as I am sensitive to medicine? Anyways, I felt so miserable all day. My head was super foggy and I couldn't think clearly. I don't know how to describe other than just feeling so horrible and wanting to feel normal again. I couldn't do much of anything all day except lay on the floor or bed and feel miserable. I also experienced major TMJ jaw- I wasn't able to get my jaw to relax. I took a hot shower and almost fainted. It was hard for me to see how this would make me feel better ever, even though I know some people do have success with it. I just couldn't bring myself to take it again the next day."


"I picked up this medication from the drug store today.  I read the information that came with this drug.  Seconds after I put a single drop in each eye, I had terrible, awful, and severe burning in my eyes, and my vision was impaired (cloudy).  That was two hours ago, and I have EXTREME feelings of pressure in my eyes and pain.  This is worse than the worst case of dry eye that I have had.  The only relief that I can get is to close my eyes.  I hope that the effects will diminish soon.  I will never put another drop of this stuff in my eyes again."


"I'm coming up on 5 months taking Generess Fe. The first 3 months were kind of tough. I had breakouts and lots of extra anxiety/emotional sensitivity. I never gained weight - I've actually lost 10 pounds and my boobs feel fuller. My sex drive was always very high even before birth control, and that certainly hasn't changed. After the first three months it was like somebody flipped a switch and I felt like my normal self again. Moods were regulated, skin was clear. The only thing I do still notice is that I usually either don't have a period, or I have one that's so light that I can't even use a tampon. If it happens its usually brown, and it only lasts 2-3 days. This is hard for me to get used to, but I'm starting to really enjoy it!!"


"I have now finished my second picato treatment for ak. I did the first about 8 months ago. While the process is quite painful and very unsightly for a good 29/24 days, I have been very pleased with not only the results of removing the AK sites but helped my entire face to look smoother, more evenly pigmented with fewer fine lines and weinkles. I did use coconut oil two days after the 3 day topical treatment.  I had severe flsking, cracking, a few blisters and couldn't open my mouth to eat with the pain. The doctor did prescribe me s lotion to promote healing after the procedure but insurance wouldn't cover and it would cost $75. I stuck with the coconut oil. more info is needed for patients after treatment"


"I spent three days and two nights coughing.  The doctor said I had a sinus infection and gave me this for the cough.  It's not helping very much.  I don't notice any side effects.  When I had a sinus infection years ago a different doctor gave me Phenergan DM and that immediately stopped the cough."


"Honestly I love this birth control so much. I've been on it for almost 3 years and I've never had any problems. I feel it has actually helped me to not gain weight, though I am naturally thin to begin with. No mood swings, no weight gain, no weird side effects for me. My hair seems to grow faster, like from my scalp... but no weird body hair growth (as I had on a progesterone-only pill I once tried out. yikes.) No acne. No problems. The only thing I would say is weird to most but really great IMO is that I haven't had a period on this stuff. I bleed lightly for 1 day once a year. I frequently have unprotected sex with my longterm committed partner and we've never had a problem. 10/10 would recommend."


"I am 83 yrs old an took Detrol for 6 weeks so I could join my family on an Alaska cruise it worked great voice was  raspy but could handle an several other side effects  BUT than came home an realized while in the car my eyes where not what they were before  so stopped taking the medication an am happy to say this morning I took my car and went shopping an eyes were just fine..will only take it when I am going to be gone for several day or an occasion that would require me to set for several hours,,,than I could not make it to the bathroom otherwise"


"I've been using 10mg Ambien for about 10 years now. I sleep very soundly and awake 6-8 hours later refreshed and loads of energy. Not every night, maybe 2 or 3 times a week. It is my miracle drug, but ONLY if I take it on an empty stomach! I too have had some "amnesia" like times. When I first began taking it, I called an ex boyfriend while my husband was asleep next to me. Thank God the side effects have gone away!"


"I had the implanon put in in 2014 and I loved it, I have not had my period since then and very rarely get cramps, although now when I look back I realised my anxiety got worse and my depression also got worse. Half way through 2015 I started to break out and gained a lot of weight 30 kg .  I'm always tired and very moody, my hair thins and I'm always sick. At first I thought this was because of my Hypothyroidism but my Dr said it is under control and not causing these issues. My Dr has also advised that the implanon could be the main cause of these issues and to get it out. I am getting it out this week and hoping for some/all my health issues to improve. I can say I go to the gym 3-5 times a week and eat very well and nothing changes!!!!!!"


"Minastrin was a good call for getting me off of loloestrin. That pill was horrid. I ended up getting periods on time and they were light. Sadly, the past 2 months, my periods are disappearing. I had 2 pregnancy tests done. I take the pill right on time too. I rather have my period as a comfort of knowing I'm not pregnant. I also had an increase of rectal pains. I have endometriosis and this pill is way too expensive too."


"I had constipation, bloating, chest pains, and gastritis for a few days causing agonizing pain, I took one and amazing it cleaned my entire digestive system, bloating, chest pains, and gastritis cramps stopped.  What a blessing."


"My wife and I are in are in our early sixties and having great sex. What I like the best about Cialis compared to the the blue pills that I tried is that I don't get the stuffy nose issues. It is also great that if you take it on a Friday night it lasts through Sunday morning."


"Wouldn't have a colonoscopy without it. Why would I want to be aware of the progress of a tube and a camera through my bowels? I go out, I wake up, I can eat again! Never had a side effect. No lingering drowsiness, nothing. If others want to enjoy the colonoscopy experience, fine. I'll stay with my Propofol."


"This birth control has done me wonder. Yes it effects people entirely different. Some people bleed the entire time, some people's mental health can be affected by it, but it's rare for that. Just like any birth control you can lose weight or gain weight. It can make you Moody or not. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE PERSON. For me I had no issues. August 2017 will be three years and I still have yet to get pregnant on this birth control.  If I was back on the pill, I would have been a teen Mom already. I recommend it but it's not for everyone."


"This stuff works! I didn't have to worry about being pulled over by cops with pills on me anymore. It got me out of bed to go do what it was I needed to do to get clean, even eventually get off Suboxone. "


"I found that Buspar helped quite a bit in allowing me to orgasm.  It was also quite useful in partially abating teeth grinding, which I get in relation to SSRIs."


"I went to the doctor with a few thick, yellow toenails. I'd been filing them paper thin and cutting them so short that the doctor could barely get a clipping to test. I started using Jublia the next day and within a few weeks I could see normal, pink toenails growing in. I just read that another woman here did the same thing, so that it would penetrate and it worked for her. That may be the reason it's worked for us both. I did read somewhere that research showed that pretreatment with urea helps toenail fungus meds penetrate, but perhaps you simply have to file them down as much as you can. It hasn't even been 2 months and I'm close to clipping the last diseased tip off one of the toenails. I wish everybody the best. Don't give up."


"After trying every other kind of antidepressant over the past 9 or so years, Nardil was my first try at an MAOI. The dietary restrictions were less difficult to get used to and less strict than they appeared at first. I was on 30mg of Nardil a day and didn't notice any effect, but after increasing to 45mg/day, I felt the best I've felt in years and it seemed that my depression might be cured at last. ...however, I also had the most side effects I've ever had from a medication: constipation, difficulty urinating, insomnia, and inability to reach an orgasm. Because of the bladder issues and insomnia, I've been forced to resume my search."


"I took this birth control for a week and began having uncontrollable mood swings. I drove myself and everyone around my crazy because I was acting so psychotic. I felt depressed and would randomly break down and cry. Stopped taking it immediately when friends and family started noticing I was not acting like my normal, cheerful self. DO NOT recommend."


"I have been on maprotiline for over 20 years to treat my panic disorder.  It was the only medication that worked and I tried just about all of them ( tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, Prozac, Wellbutrin).

Hands down, this medication had the least side effects, and the best coverage.  I have been living a full life, panic free."


"I have taken paxil since 1995 after having a nervous breakdown.  I also weaned myself off of paxil for 13 months in 2000 so that I could get pregnant.  In 2001 I experienced post postpartum depression with no anxiety and went back on the paxil.  Paxil is best suited for patients with Anxiety and MDD. It is a very potent SSRI. On dealing with the side effects:  Weight gain can be prevented with proactive exercise.  Constipation can be prevented by diet, suppository etc  Sexual side effects can be reduced by reducing the amount of paxil prior to sex (cut your dosage in half that day).  SAD can be minimized by adding vitamin B12 in the fall and winter."


"I am a 31 year old male and have been on Pristiq a week. It is too early to tell but so far it is amazing. It has removed that "barrier" that kept me from feeling happiness and I now feel like I am driving with my "bright lights" on. I also have Adult ADHD and I can focus much better on tasks at hand. I also enjoy my job for the first time in years and don't leave work angry everyday. The only side effect that I have experienced is that it takes me longer to climax during sex, which really wouldn't be considered a problem. I hope this medicine continues to work and I will update as I am on it longer. My appetite has also decreased. So far nothing but thumbs up for Pristiq. This is the first out of 6 medicines that I have tried that I would recommend."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I had an upset stomach the whole day, so I suspect by the time I drank my first dose I was already cleaned out.  The stuff did not taste all that bad.. At least the first bottle.  I found it hard to drink so much water.  It took about 30 minutes to work... And as I expected there wasn't anything in me to clean, so after using the toilet for about 2 hours, all I passed was clear fluids.  when it came time for the second... this time, I couldn't even get the stuff down.  I took two gulps and gagged so much I threw it down the sink.  Maybe it was harder because I thought I really didn't need the second dose.  So hopefully, the one dose was enough."


"I am kind of upset at the negativity that I have seen posted: bad acne, cramps, wt gain, low sex drive...all of which I was afraid of. However, I admit that I have been breaking out a bit more but I started washing my face twice daily and it has subsided a lot better with occasional breakouts. I was told in the past that chin acne is due to hormones. My cramps are bad only when I spot (only happens once in a while) I'm not saying they are comfy, but are better than before I was ever on a birth control tabs, I believe that I have actually lost weight, not due to mirena, but due to work, etc. You need to stay active anyways, so who can really say that it's the bc? However, I do believe that the nuva ring caused mine. My sex drive is actually increased too:)"


"I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and was prescribed Provigil, insurance denied coverage. Doctor then gave me samples of Nuvigil 150mg. WOW! what a difference, first couple of days a few heart racing minutes but then after that, it was great. Ran out so asked doctor to order at pharmacy, insurance denied again. When I take Nuvigil I can work all day and sleep just fine at night, instead of taking a 3 hour nap after school and then back to bed at 8PM. I have so much energy, I take it at lunch time, this way it won't wear off too soon.  I have skipped days to make samples last and there is definitely a difference in my quality of life. Actually  I HAVE A LIFE when I take Nuvigil."


"My doctor prescribed Levaquin for my prostatis.  He gave me a four week course and it has completely done the trick.  It's been 6 months and still no sign of any prostatis. I had absolutely no side effects.  If your lips are swelling you are probably allergic to the medicine and should stop immediately."


"I took this to help with a personal issue at work. I am a teacher of 17 years and never lose control as some situations which I had little to no control caused me to have an anxiety attack. The doctor prescribed 20 mg Celexa and half of the pill for 6 days then a whole 20 mg. Day 1 I did not get sick but at work I was very calm and easy as I am like that 90 percent of the time without medicines anyway but things tend to bother me and I keep them bottled up and hidden inside, which caused me to have the anxiety attack. This is day 2, I did take the other half of the pill. I will see how it goes for today. I am thinking of only taking the pill as needed as I tend to hold on to the negatives in my life. I believe Celexa will help me greatly."


"Very reliable. I am allowed to take 1mg/3x a day, but usually I get by with 2x/day. Very few side effects."


"I have had acne since I was 12 (I'm 21 now) and this did not clear me up completely but my acne is definitely better, they aren't as big, or painful, less cystic acne. The first week it I was very emotional and nauseous but when it passed everything was fine. I also did not gain weight nor did my hair get thinner, or I don't notice because I have naturally thick, curly hair. I do recommend Ortho Tri Cyclen."


"I was on Yaz for 2 years and that was the worst. I changed to Aviane 3 months ago and I love it. The first month I was spotting a bit but after that my period has been good. It comes on time and is very short and light and it only costs me $5 from the pharmacy. I do get pretty emotional during my period but nothing life altering. Its really great."


"I am on my second Implanon. I first got it after my second child was born which was a surprise. The first six months of the implant my body was adjusting so there was bleeding and moodiness because of the adjustment period. Too many people want instant results with everything. Our bodies have to adjust. The second time around was just a poke and insert because they have to remove the first one so my arm hurt for two weeks. But I'll take that two days to two weeks of pain to live without worries tampons pads and not having to remember a pill or an appointment. I love this birth control."


"Topiramate has been my saving grace. I've suffered from migraines for as long as I can remember, since before age 5. I had one or more everyday and nothing would get of them. I had gone to the neurologist and even given up gluten. After trying topiramate for only a few days my life had changed drastically, I almost never get migraines and if I do they are very very minor and nothing a dose of Excedrin can't fix."


"I haven't noticed any help at all with my depression, my anxiety has gotten worse and I've never been so tired in my life. Also I'm all out sweating like crazy during the most very minimal tasks."


"Stopped getting my period so I took this and it worked right away. It didn't bring back my monthly cycle but it brought on a cycle after the last pill."


"Great experience, 3x a day 200mg - no side issues, took the swelling and pain away and also cleared up an infection of BV ( which it wasn't even provided for- but I know it often is used for this too) - I only took it for 4 days"


"I've had RA since my early 40's and NSAID's just stopped working.  After several years of progressively stronger NSAID's, my Rheumatalogist started my regime on Ridaura.  In my case is was like a miracle drug. It arrested the disease progression and after six months I felt so much better. I am now a 73 old male and still taking 3mg twice a day. It has made my life not only bearable but comfortable."


"In short this medicine worked perfect as a miracle for me, and prevented an un intended pregnancy at a time I was most fertile, I am so relieved and happy, I was so scared and worried about the thought that I may get pregnant. For more details: I'm 25, married and already have two babies, a boy (2 1/2 yrs old) and a girl (1 yr old), both my babies are young and I wasn't intending to have another baby yet. And I'm not taking any birth control medicines. Just following the safe days method. Unfortunately I  have made a mistake, with the days and later realized after we have finished that it was on the fertile days, and to make sure I had an ovulation test, and it appeared that I was most fertile, and that  I would be ovulating the next day.  So happy it worked"


"I have been taking Saphris for 10 days. I went cold turkey off Seroquel 600mg/day. I have had terrible insomnia. My psych said this should improve over next few weeks, I hope so. Agreed that it tastes awful and numbness under tongue only lasts approx half an hour. My mood improved the next day after my first 5mg dose. I feel so happy and enthusiastic about life, which is amazing. The Seroquel fog has lifted and I have lost 3.5kgs in 7 days (Seroquel munchies are gone)."


"Headaches. Back pain. Nausea. Cramps. Periods heavier and longer than without it. Heavy spotting a week or two after my period. Absolutely horrible. Ratings are 3/10 everywhere. Unsure why it's still being prescribed if so many woman suffer symptoms."


"I have been taking Atenolol for more than three years. I work out daily and although I cannot get my heart rate up as high as the experts want me to, at least at 72 I can work out. Feel great!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have taken this pill for two years now.  I was originally put on it, because of a polyp.  The polyp decreased dramatically.  I have had no side effects minus minor spotting.  My mood has increased dramatically right before and during my period.  I used to have really bad cramps when I would get my period; however, that is practically non-existent now."


"Pristiq for me is a life saver! The fist 2 days I took the medication I was tired, but now being on it for two weeks it is amazing. I used to cry at the drop of a hat, and I had severe anxiety. Pristiq is the only medication that has ever worked for me! Try it! It might save your life too!"


"Okay so I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo before I started Aviane and I had AWFUL hormonal cystic acne along my jaw line. I switched to Aviane in the attempt to control my acne. Within 3 days I saw a MAJOR improvement. my skin is almost clear and it has been a week. HOWEVER, my mood swings are awful. I'm extremely angry, my boyfriend is putting up with a monster. On top of being miserable, sex drive has completely tanked. Definitely didn't work for me at all. I hate to get off of it because my face is so clear but I really can't take the anger anymore"


"Like many who have commented here, I have experienced almost total relief from recurring migraine headaches - due to cranial nerve inflammation stemming from arthritis in C4 and C5.  Before I started the amitriptyline, I had a strong headache nearly 24/7 with crushing flares maybe 2x per week.  I was treating them with NSAIDs and Tramadol to keep them under control, with a 'triptan' for the flares.  My doctor put me on a regimen involving titration from 50mg up to 300mg over a 5-week period.  I only got to 150mg before the side effects (lethargy, dry mouth, constipation) were too much for me.  I have backed down to 50mg before bed and that is working pretty well.  My quality of life is SO much better. You'll get used to the side effects."


"I am 40. I had to change my birth control pills when I got 40. They weren't strong enough for me because I bled real heavy and for 7 days and every other week. So I decided to let my OB/GYN insert the Mirena which she had tried to get me to get before trying those lighter birth control pills. Its only been a week but I love not having to think about taking pill. Also I was on my period when it was inserted, my period became light the same day and was for three days. For me the placement was a 3 on a scale of 1-10 with pain. But my cervix is push far back & to the side and they had to pull it towards them to place it and that pain was a 7. So far no regrets only wish I had did it sooner. "


"Nothing works better for me. I ran out and couldn't get a refill because I moved out of state. I tried lisinopril 20mg and it did not hold my pressure down. After monitoring it myself with a reading of 202/110 I ended up in the ER, why I didn't have a headache I don't know. I am now back on losartan/hydrochlorothiazide 100/25."


"I have been on Sertraline/Zoloft (on different doses at different times for different occasions) for about 6 years now, and it has helped me a tremendous amount. I highly recommend it."


"I'm 21, with no kids. I have tried birth control for the first time when last year me and my boyfriend started dating. The pill was probably the worst experience for me, I gained about 15lbs, bleed for 6 months straight I was on it and it made crazy mentally. I finally got off of it and went to my OB, she suggest Skyla because she loved it so I gave it a try because I was not about to go on the pill anymore. Yes, it was such a painful experience when inserting the IUD and many weeks to a month after still sharp pains in my abdominal region, also was bad for the first 4 months but now I have been on it for about 6 months and I have little to no bleeding on my periods, little PMS and crampings but they are tolerable. I also lost about 10lbs"


"Pneumonia
Finished Zpack today
Still don't feel any better
Cipro also did not work
What next?
Its been 6 weeks now"


"To make a long story short, I have been battling anxiety and panic attacks for almost ten years. Took many different meds then was put on Lexapro. After a year stopped taking it and went on Zoloft. BIG MISTAKE. Started back on 10 mg two days ago, not having as much anxiety or panic. Just in the mornings waking up feeling anxious. Hopefully this will stop soon. My kids need me to feel better soon."


"I have two children currently taking Focalin XR. My 12-year-old daughter has been on it for three years and my nine-year-old son has been on it for one year. We have seen fantastic results with both of them. We have seen as many others have said that the medicine seems to wear off about the time they get home from school.  What we do is they have a small snack and take a small afternoon dose of 5 to 10 mg of regular Focalin to help them get to their homework and evening activities. If it is a no homework day or no activity day we opt to not take this medicine in the evening and we do not take the evening dose on the weekends. We do take the morning dose every day of the week.  We've not had any major side effects.  The only thing we have noticed is a slight decrease in my sons appetite not my daughters. We have also had to adjust medication as they have grown. But we have had wonderful success with both children on the medication."


"So me and my boyfriend had sex, he thinks he ejaculated inside me so I took the plan b right away. The symptoms are terrible. I had lower abdominal pain, fatigue, dizziness nausea, I was so tired all I wanted to do was sleep. Today is February 11 2017 just one day after I took the pill. it's a great backup but to be honest I will never take it again. I experienced all of the symptoms at the same time. Not a great feeling."


"I got this birth control back in the beginning of 2010 and at first I was scared because I thought oh gosh I haven't been getting my period but my doctor reassured me that I was one of the lucky few who stopped having a period I LOVE IT! Most effective then most for teenagers and adults that work or live fast pace lives. I would recommend it because to be honest lets face it taking the pill is very difficult if you have a hard time remembering what time to take it. This birth control just stays in your arm not even noticeable unless you touch it."


"I started ocella my freshman year of college and had horrible under the skin acne all through high school. I'm now a junior in college and love it! My skin cleared up except for a few during my period. I also gained a couple pounds and my boobs grew a whole cup size. Highly recommend"


"This is by far the best acne medication ever. Of course it'll take some time from the start of using, but after about 2-3 months, you can definitely notice a difference!"


"I have been using this medication for a couple of months and yes it is pretty expensive even with insurance. This medicine controls my blood pressure but I have numbness in both legs and swelling in my legs and hands. And after taking this I have palpitations in my chest but it does regulate my blood pressure. "


"I am so happy with this products. Everytime I get a high fever which is usually once or twice and year I always have a break out of fever blisters. I have tried everything under the sun from ice, tea bags, herpicin L, releev, carmex... Anything and it would always take a 3-4 weeks to just see it start to scab. I bought Abreva yesterday morning and it is already at the scabbing stage and I had a fever blister start the day before. I apply every 2-3 hours and its working great! I do make sure the wash and dry hands before and after applying abreva."


"I have dust/smell allergy and have very bad cough (almost like vomiting) which prevents me from normal activity at work and getting sleep at night. Having this drug for last 3 days worked wonders for me. Cough is not cured but over 95% gone allowing me to be myself again. My doctor checked for any allergic symptoms after the 1st dose since this drug does not suit all. Highly recommend for bad cough troubles."


"I spent years having horrible reactions to that time's crop of popular medicines.  I am not bipolar and have never had mania. As a last resort because nothing else worked on my chronic depression, I was given a prescription of lithium carbonate.  That was 23 years ago.

My side effects are that I drink a lot and pee a lot, and thinning hair (bummer).  Lithium is my passport to sanity and normal life."


"I have had a couple bouts of cysts, it is the reason why I got on bc. I took it regularly for months and it did fine as a bc I suppose. It regulated my period, made them a little less severe. However, it didn't necessarily help prevent the cyst growth. I also had some episodes on my period while on this birth control and they were still debilitating. I also experienced a ruptured cyst while on the medication. When I finally got to the gyno we decided to have me take bc on a constant basis, skipping the inactive to try to further reduce cyst possibilities and eliminate period. However, this has caused me to have thick brown discharge EVERY day for 2 months. We are now trying a different pill- hopefully that helps."


"I was given Tamiflu by the hospital, and at first, it seemed to work. I didn't have such a bad runny nose, or coughing. However, the side effects were just horrible. I had nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, headaches, and, as my friend describes it, I was "just not with it." I took it in pill form, and I think it was perhaps because of the plastic-feeling outer cover I was forced to swallow. I don't particularly recommend it, especially since it also gave me a little insomnia. That was a slight problem, having the flu and all, since sleeping is actually important if I want to heal."


"I have been on this medicine for 8 days now and have constant, severe nausea.  This is the second night in a row that I have thrown-up. My sex drive is back which is why I switched from Lexapro 10 mg.  I am hoping the nausea will go away.  I have also gained 3 lbs in these 8 days!  Tomorrow I am going to keep a food diary and when I take my medicine to see if I can make any changes.  The swelling in my stomach has not gotten better and has been there for 2 days now."


"I was prescribed these for an ongoing sinus problem, I'm not convinced it is an infection as my mucus is clear and not bright yellow as it has been in the past when I've had infected sinuses. I've experienced horrible side effect, horrible taste in my mouth, nausea, fatigue, muscle ache and just generally feeling ill. I would stop taking it but if it is an infection it will probably make it worse so just going to buck up and finish the course. I would not recommend these antibiotics to anyone."


"Been taking Flomax and Avodart together for about 18 months. They work very well (no more frequent urination unless I drink 2 large teas or coffees) and no side effects whatsoever so far (other than "reverse ejaculation" from the Flomax which is actually a bonus)."


"Definitely helps."


"I had the implanon put in June 2012.. was the best decision of my life. In June 2015 I had it removed an th e nexplanon put in. Still a good decision... no periods since June 2012 spotted only twice no cramps no real mood swings.. but a little more acne and a lower sex drive are the faults.. but hey I'll take that deal if it means no stress about getting pregnant"


"I suffer from a migraine almost every day of the week. I missed 3 months of school from January to March and failed all my exams because of them. I started on 10mg of amitriptyline and had no effect. Over a period of about 5 months I had reached a 40mg dosage everyday and still had no effect. Still suffering from migraines almost every day. On my 4th tablet now so hopefully this one might work! Glad it worked for some people though."


"l have IBS-C. l took linzess 145 for 4 days now. worked good until today! Incomplete bowel movements and bloating, cramping some too! l do not know if l up the linzess to 290?  Sorta scared to do that.  l really had high hopes for linzess!! Because l do suffer from constipation too."


"I started taking Straterra in February of'16. About three weeks ago I began to cry at the drop of a hat. Three days ago my depression worsened and began to become almost delusional with themes of guilt. I feel better since I stopped yesterday and today. I will ask my Psychiatrist to take me off and commence with Vyvanse. Crying and emotionally labile isn't me. I'm glad I stopped it before I hurt myself."


"I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in November of 2006. I've been taking Cellcept 2000mg a day since then. It has helped me tremendously! I hadn't experienced any real side effects until recently. I started having anxiety attacks after being put on the generic version of Cellcept."


"Seroquel literally saved my life! After a suicide attempt landed me in the ICU 8 years ago, I was diagnosed with bipolar I disorder & subsequently put on Seroquel. Early on, my dose was increased to 300mg
& that's where I've stayed. A few years ago I started having trouble with depression again; although this time around it wasn't suicidal. My Doctor added Pristiq & it really seemed to help so I've stayed on it. When I first started the Seroquel, I remember waking up one morning and thinking "So THIS is what normal feels like!" I realize it isn't for everyone, but for me it's been a miracle that has allowed me to live a happy and STABLE life!  Without serious mood swings, I can actually make (and keep) plans!"


"After all the unpleasant, typical, menopausal side effects my MD decided to try "Evamist"....One spray each night. So after 1 week I noticed my hot flashes were way worse and I felt really awful. Took me 3 or 4 days to get back to "normal". Now after suffering for another few months I decided to try it again. Only this time start with a smaller dose. I'd spray it on and immediately rub off half of it, before it dried. Same reaction as the first try. What a bummer...Any suggestions now?  I have tried every pill, cream, gel, and accupuncture, herbs, and homeopathy treatments with worse side effects than the originals...8 years of suffering. What next?"


"Have been Taking for 3 years,  not a single side effect, since I take 14 different medications for various issues, I have thoroughly tested this medication in and out for side effects, everyone is different and reacts different to medications...I take 1000mg a day."


"I have been on Wellbutrin SR 100 mg 2x/day for 5 months and it has helped me a lot. I have panic disorder, agoraphobia, and major depression. It has drastically improved my ability to go out and do things. My thoughts don't get stuck on anything that could potentially make me anxious (for the most part). I also take Zoloft 100 mg until a month ago 75 mg and a couple of days ago down to 50 mg. I can tell the Wellbutrin and Zoloft decrease is adjusting. I was reluctant to take it because of the panic but it has actually helped with that. I'm not fully recovered however, as I still fear driving alone and being too far from a support person. I would generally recommend it, although it is a bit expensive without insurance."


"Dear the a: I have widespread actinic keratosis on my forearms. I was prescribed Efudex. I have thin, fair skin and some freckling. The damage seems to have occurred from a childhood playing outdoors, before sunscreen became so important. The Efudex, astonishingly, did nothing. So very disappointing. The dermatologist was equally surprised, and prescribed another round. Still nothing. And no one can give me an answer.  I am now considering a chemical peel or whatever the next step might be. So very tired of hiding my arms. Good luck to you. If anyone can give you an answer, please, please post it here."


"I'm 31yr old 5'5" female 254lbs, after having my daughter I haven't been able to loss the weight. I'm one week into this medication, the first 3 days were ruff, I had bad migraines, neck and back pain. It should be noted I had also stopped drinking caffeine on the same day I started Contrave. In the first 3 days I was very tired, groggy and on the 2nd day even in a haze or fog. Once I got past the first 4 days I feel pretty good, it has definitely suppressed my hunger and amount I can eat comfortably, I feel full a lot faster. I don't have the thirst/dry mouth, jaw pain or suicidal thoughts. Tomorrow I start with one pill twice a day (I'm on 1 pill once a day) so I'll see of the increase causes sidea effects and update this review."


"I am 29 years old.  I have fibromyalgia and hypermobility disorder.  Without this drug I would be worthless.  I used to be a grumpy person that could not accomplish anything without major difficulty.  I have taken Ultram ER 300 for the last 3 years. I have never been without this medicine for more than 12 hours.  I am now 3 days off this medicine because I ran out by accident.  This has been the most miserable experience of my life.  I am on the verge of getting written up at work.  I can not focus.  I feel horrible.  I cant go to sleep at night and I cant wake up in the morning.  This is truly miserable.  I feel as if I am being hit by a truck several times a day."


"I read a lot of reviews before taking this and there seemed to be really mixed views. I've tried Citalopram, mirtazapine and now this. This is the first time I've not felt like a complete zombie detached from life. This drug has pretty much saved my life and bought control back to my life. The only long term side effect I've experience is heart palpitations. The nausea lasted a week tops. Everybody is different and responds differently to medications. So don't be put off by negative comments"


"I've been taking Lexapro for almost 6 years now and it has really helped with my depression and anxiety. I first started off with 10mg for about 3 months but didn't notice a huge change in my depression and my anxiety would come and go. After a serious panic attack that hospitalized me for the day my doctor decided to up my dose to 20mg a day. After that I was much happier and less anxious person. My doctor also gave me Xanax for any sudden panic attacks that I do get, but thankfully I haven't had to take it very often (maybe once every 3 months or so). The only side effect I suffered from was drowsiness and it would knock me out at night when I first started. Now in perfectly fine. I'm really glad I started taking this medicine!"


"I was given Valium first and I took  pain pills at home about 6 hours before the surgery-Norco was all I took.

Then right before they wheeled me into the operating room (so they said), I got that versed IV, and a combination block which was administered via a teeny tiny wire inserted in the inner/upper thigh area-kept my leg NUMB completely for 4 days after that Total Knee replacement-and the VERSED left me with absolutely NO RECOLLECTION of what the surgeons did to my knee.  FABULOUS!

Severe pain when the nerve blocking wire was removed-morphine IV drip and additional shots via the IV port helped. "


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"These by far are the best vitamins you can take. The nutritional value is the best and these don't make you sick like the other ones. I would recommend these."


"Works for me!  I spent a full year with horrible headaches, ear pain, fullness, ringing.  I told the doctor my face hurt, my head hurt, my NOSE hurt!  I finally ended up with a sinus infection, antibiotics, and it all went away for a while, but when it came back, I went back to the doctor and told her my infection was back....she said no, I think you have allergies.  Claritin, Flonase, give it a month and see if you feel better...and I did!  I added saline nasal spray and a humidifier to keep nasal tissue moist, and I'm down to 2-3 headaches a week at high pollen season, ears mostly behave themselves.  Inside my nose will get sore and dry if I forget the saline, but otherwise no side effects.  Thanks Flonase!"


"Worked great for anxiety. I was calling 911 thinking I was dying that's how bad it was. I tried a bunch of SSRI's. Paxil suppressed all my feelings which took the anxiety away. But made me impotent Not a good result for me."


"2mg very effective for psychotic symptoms - delusions and intrusive thoughts. Gained 40 pounds in 3 months. Came off, however, going back on. Hoping Metformin will reduce the weight gain. Would recommend."


"Doing wonders for me. Only problem I find is it makes my mouth extremely dry. I take it 3 times a day and I am fine all day. It doesn't make me too sleepy and I am still able to go to sleep at night with no problem."


"Lost 8.8 lbs week one. A little jittery and dry mouth for side effects. So far so good!"


"I've been on this pill for nearly a year now and for the past three months I have been having weird bleeding. When it first started I bleed for 11 days before getting my same 4 day heavy period. I have break through bleeding all the time which is really worrying. Even though I'm not ovulatin I still track my period and it freaks me out. I've lost like 10 pounds and I can't gain wait. Other than these issued it's ok. Has anyone else experienced break through bleeding a year later?"


"I have taken Gianvi for about four years now, started it for birth control reason, it cleared my face within months, I didn't feel any anxiety or anything that has to do with my mood, my sex drive has been the same with or without. Once I was taken out of Gianvi, and tried Vestura, Vestura affected me badly! I had terrible mood swings, felt terrible for those days taking it, afterwards I went back to Gianvi and things got back to normal."


"I'm extremely sensitive to medicine. In fact, I haven't successfully taken any medicines in 14 years. A little over a year ago, I was t-boned and I have had intense back/nerve pain ever since. I can't take anything regularly because I'll develop an allergy of sorts, but when my pain is sky high, I take a quarter of 10/325 Norco and it makes all of the pain disappear (and of course I'm so sensitive that it keeps the pain away for 3 days)."


"The worst weight loss pill did not lose a pound but sure gained... I had been with a different doctor had to switch not happy about doing so and new doctor would not renew the pill I was taking insisted I take BELVIQ not only did I have to jump through hoops to get, I also had to pay out of pocket $100 for and gained weight . Even thought I was over weight I have still been walking but still put on 10lbs of what I had lost on other drug. I craved food it was horrible so now what for me find New doctor that will work with me and give me something that will help. I'm not looking to loose over night I just need a little help being over 50 I was told I eat to much fruit and that was a big problem for me I'm not a big eater really ."


"I have been on Monodox for a little under a month. I take it at night with my dinner and I use a topical medication before bed. My skin has definitely improved although not to the point where I feel like I don't need makeup. Any large or cystic pimples are gone, and I haven't gotten any since, but I do have some mild scarring left that hopefully will go away. I am still suffering from small under the skin white heads that are on my forehead and right cheek, although they have lessened in the number of them there are still plenty left."


"I took dulcolax and it just made me puke, no BM. This is the worst product I have ever used in my life. I have the chills and puked 2 times with this product. Id rather be constipated than have this."


"The birth control pill Nikki improved my acne significantly after only a month of use. I had previously taken Gianvi for many years, but discovered it was the cause of my depression. Following that I tried numerous other brands and they either worsened my acne or depression, sometimes both. Nikki is the only birth control pill I have found that does not trigger depression and has completely cleared my acne. However, I rate it at an 8 because I have had frequent light spotting in between periods and they are not as regular as they normally would be. Overall, this pill is a great option!"


"At a tiny 1 mg dose this drug was wonderful for about a month. Instead of having a crazy sleep-till-noon schedule, I started to wake up in the morning on my own.  I wasn't as tired, and I got a lot of things done. Which alone helped my depression. I was also able to start exercising and eating right without crazy cravings - so I lost about 10 lbs.

The doctor increased me to 2.5mg/day and things really went downhill.  I can only sleep for 4-6 hours at a time, so I have to nap twice during the day and as soon as I take the medicines I'm so tired I'm basically incapable of driving. I'm cutting back down by half today hoping it was a dosing issues."


"My Pain Management Physician prescribed Skelaxin to help control severe spasms in my inner thighs down to and including my feet. My condition is "Failed Back Syndrome" which resulted from 2X Laminectomies at L4-L5. Prior to this I had been using Zanaflex for two years but had side effects. I advised my doctor I needed a medicine, which would help address my spasms without making me a zombie and he prescribed Skelaxin. That was five years ago and it saved my life. While I continue to have periodic spasms, I can eat my meals without my wife standing by in case I choked on my food. I would recommend Skelaxin to any individual who has muscle spasms."


"SUBOXONE TREATMENT SAVED MY LIFE! After 3 years of praying to get off VicodinES (2-4 pills daily), I found Suboxone. I had no withdrawal symptoms, felt great the whole 4 months of taking it. I only needed to use 2mg per day (1mg in the am., 1mg in the pm.). I did experience extreme constipation, but that orange fiber drink helped a lot. I am so grateful for this, and feel so sorry for those who had stressful stories about it."


"I took Femcon for a total of 6 years it cleared up my acne and I lost weight while taking it. When my husband and I decided to have kids it took 3 months each child for the pill to leave my system. Overall this is a great birth control method to take. The only time I had nauseation was when I missed a pill and needed to take two at a time."


"Have been taking this for not even a month and I have been super emotional, its crazy because I'm usually layed back. I want sex more now but I guess you can say I experience a little cramping sharp pains every now and then. Overall its okay."


"I have minor acne and have recently been prescribed Ziana. I feel like my dermatologist just threw this at me and said "Hey, try this". After a week of using it my acne did not get better or worse it just stopped, but what really bugs me is that my skin got EXTREMELY oily, if you had saw my face you would have thought I just ran a goddamn marathon."


"Prozac has helped my life greatly. I've been taking it for years now and without taking it, I am a mess from worrying about whats going to happen the next day, to stressing about the future. I will worry about something over, and over, and over again obsessively, not being able to control it, no matter how bad I want to. Prozac clears my mind completely so that when I do think of a thought, it just goes away after that thought. No more over worrying or stressing in any such matter. Overall it made me a more happier person."


"I used to be on 20mg Aropax for 7 years for my Borderline personality Disorder, Social Anxiety, Anxiety and Depression. I use to self harm and not be happy. I was always hospitalised and going down a destructive road. Other medicines made me worse like cipramil, Zoloft and Valium. Aropax did not make me 100% cured but help me deal with everyday issues better I still find that you need to practise mindfulness techniques and practice Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. This drug is only if you have severe depression and anxiety and find it difficult to use standard coping skills. I was off Aropax for 3 years and coping well now I have had a relapse and anxiety worse than ever. I am now back on it for 3 days hopefully it will work soon."


"So Ladies let's talk. 1 1/2 years and let me say I'm happy to soon be off of it. I've had terrible mood swings, terrible cramps , periods that arrive early, late or not at all. I've gained 30 lbs (which is not entirely the BC's fault but some credit is due) and it's holding onto it really well. All I can say is that this BC isn't the best for me. Some women have a great experience but I would say if you come from a family that gains weight easy -- stay away from it."


"The only problem with Tirosint capsules is the out of pocket price... We are low fixed income due to my hubby being an Elderly Disabled Vet and I must be home taking care of him so nearly $44/mo comes out of the grocery $; Yet I prefer Tirosint capsules over any other thyroid meds I have had because I have not had any negative reaction to it like I have all the others I have tried; Levothyroxine tablets I get big migraines.  With Armour allergic reaction that makes me into a zombie. "


"I havery epilepsy since I was a baby. I take Lamictal and Keppra. Last year I had a grand mal seizure. Went to the hospital and everything. I saw my neurologist and she put me on Lamictal XR and Keppra XR. Ever since then I'm having a lot of side effects. I have atleast 10 of them from both Lamictal and Keppra. Having problems from both. My neurologist does not care about the side effects. I'm scared to go outside a lot. I'm moody every day, sleep during the day, insomnia, diarrhea, constipation, etc, it is annoying. I want to be off of thsee pills and want a better life. I rather take something else."


"I have taken almost every drug out there. With so many drugs/so many different side effects, because of this I have been off all drugs for a couple of years, I feel the need to go on something for depression. I was so worried about side effects of weight gain or hair loss, that I asked my doctor for something that would avoid these two side effects. I have been on Pristiq for almost 2 weeks...I have mild headaches, frequent urination, constipation, and insomnia so far. I am hoping with monitoring this that maybe if I change the time that I take it and try to add fiber to my diet, and try to drink less fluids closer to bed time to help. I have had worse side effects with other medicines, so I will stay on longer to see if I notice a difference."


"I have done this twice on my forehead and in between my eyes both times I experienced pimples at the injection sites that last for weeks. I have read reviews that this has happened to hundreds of other women yet doctors want to claim it's not possible to come from Botox. I find the doctors wrong because it's not just one or two people it's several hundred people experiencing long-term pimples on the injection sites of Botox. Botox is supposed to get rid of headaches but it actually makes mine worse. I will not be using it ever again I have heard dysport is much better and we'll try that. Botox does cause pimples it does not matter what the dr. Says hundreds users have experienced these pimples therefore the proof is in the people using it."


"This is a great drug and really makes me feel better as a result of chronic back pain that radiates into my legs and abdomen. I only take 1 to 2 pills a week to get some relief. "


"I started taking the pill about 4 years ago, the first year it was not the best, my period was irregular but after that no problems! i didn't gain weight, no mood problems or pain during my period. it has work for me! but every body is different!"


"I am on the first week of my 4th pack. I've been continuous cycling so I was spotty the first 2 packs during my "period" but afterwards my body adjusted.

I was nervous, acne wise, because this is a lower dose of hormone than I'm used to, but so far no crazy breakouts. I actually have much less of an appetite now which is great - I lost the 12 pounds that I put on from taking a higher dosage pill so I'm back to my old self again.

I would give this pill a higher rating if it weren't for the fact that I have way less sex drive now and for a day or 2 right before I'd get my "period", I am very dry and have a slight stinging feeling that is slightly painful."


"Never had any problems. Have been on it two times (1st for two years while breastfeeding eldest and this time with number 2)."


"As I aged, and after my son born by c-section my periods were getting more painful, where it was hard to function the day I got my period. I saw my dr who found endometriosis and recommended a hysterectomy or the pill. Microgestin FE it is! It has been WONDERFUL. I am skipping the placebo week and taking a pill every day. I haven't had a period in a year, and I feel amazing. Acne has also cleared. Two not so great things:  Gas. All day, every day, and a sweet tooth that was never there before. I have not gained any weight in a year, but I work out pretty regularly. So happy with my pill regimen."


"I just finished my first cycle of Seasonique and I could not be happier. I was on NuvaRing for about 7 years when suddenly my periods went crazy - horrible cramps, heavy, long-lasting. My doctor suggested Seasonique or an IUD. She sent me home with a package of Seasonique and I could not be happier. I just finished my first period and I have to think that I've been missing out until now! It was the lightest period I've ever had - lasted for 3 days and was barely there. I got 0 cramps which for me is unheard of.

I did have one instance of spotting, but it only happened one day. I also did have an acne breakout right before my period started, but hey - I'll take that over cramps ANY day! Sex drive and weight are the same. Highly recommended!"


"I've had Kyleena since late June. I had it inserted during the fourth day of my period. The first week after - heavy cramping, heavy bleeding, dizziness, fatigue. The second week was the same. About three weeks in, the bloating and fatigue lightened up but I kept bleeding. Went back to the doc at week four because I was concerned it had shifted- I was still bleeding heavily! Ultrasound confirmed everything ok. I've continued bleeding everyday since. I have started to feel my body go back to a normal cycle. The bleeding went to light spotting about two weeks ago, and I had a period -longer, but light. Now back to light spotting... Overall, I think it's a great option for 5 years of worry-free bc. But the initial 3 months are intense!"


"The day before starting the medicine I weighed 176. So the first week I varied from 177-179 of taking contrave. I felt great but my cravings became intense. My sugar craving out of control especially at night. I tried this medication for about 3 months and gained about 12-15 pounds. I kept reading reviews & thinking it will kick in & work! I should of quit way before. Absolutely did not work for me unfortunately"


"I started taking Lamictal to treat my bi-polar 2 disorder. At first, the medication really helped my constantly manic depression and I loved it. Then I noticed the fogginess and my brain felt like it wasn't as sharp. The more my doctor increased my dose, the more I started to swell. Eventually I had gained 5 lbs just in water retention. M joints would ache and I couldn't take it anymore. My doctor switched me to Topamax and I can really tell a difference! I loved the emotional effect from the Lamictal but the physical side effects were unreal."


"I've been going to my dermatologist since I was 13 (now 19) for my acne. I've pretty much always been on antibiotics but nothing seemed to really get rid of my acne. I took a 5-month Accutane course when I was 16 and it worked great. I don't even really remember having any serious side effects. Now I'm 19 and my acne has come back. It's not horrible, but it bothers me quite a bit and my doctor suggested a second round. I'm going into my third week now, and I feel like it's already doing me some good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I am so sick and tired of having to struggle with my acne everyday."


"The trospium chloride has been fairly effective.  The urologist had previously tried me on Enablex, which worked very well--my miracle.  Unfortunately, it wasn't available at an affordable price on my Medicare plan, so we had to try something else.  The trospium chloride has worked okay, but I still wake up in a panic in the night, and don't always make it to the toilet.  (Very frustrating!)  Just wish that there was a medication that was effective AND affordable!"


"My experience with Effexor was so bad. The withdrawal was a nightmare, and being on Effexor made me like a zombie. I was not sad but I wasn't happy either. 6 years later I'm completely happy and antidepressant free. "


"Won't work if you have insulin resistance. It has been a great appetite suppressant but no weight loss at all."


"I have used Prozac (gained a lot of weight)  Now I am on a combination of Wellbutrin and Cymbalta.  What a difference.  No foggy brain.  My emotions are back.  Don't feel like a zombie any more.  Feel a little dizzy at times, but the benefits outweigh the side effects.  I lost 10 kg !!!  Look and feel great.  Will stay on this combination.  Great for depression."


"I had a severe allergic Reaction to the whole medication . It caused me to break out into a really serious rash .Please be careful ladies this experience wasn't fun ."


"After a series of pain medications and even a course of prednisone to help with my costochondritis, my doctor decided to give this a try before seeking further intensive treatment. This is the first time I've had relief from any pain, and while not clearing it completely, it does a pretty good job of reducing it significantly. I'm only worried about prolonged use and haven't come across reviews regarding that yet. Would greatly appreciate anyone's view on that as well! Also, there is a coupon for $20 that you can download directly from the website, as this can be pretty expensive. Even with insurance."


"I'm a 30 yr old 5'6 fem. I started Qsymia Sep. 2013 weighing in at approx 239lbs and just discontinued taking this medication this past month when I came within 10lbs of my goal weight of 169lbs, honestly my insurance covered $0 of the price of this medication and I was on the 3rd level dose of this prescription and at $200  a month I feel I can maintain and possibly lose the last little bit of weight on my own without the assistance of the medication, keep in mind I am also diagnosed with PCOS and therefore had hyperinsulinemia no matter how much I exercised and ate right nothing was taking the weight off until my Dr.told me we were going to give this medicine a chance and at almost 250 pounds I was willing to try anything. Worth every penny spent."


"I got stung by a wasp and got a terrible secondary infection.  The clindamycin cleared up the infection, but the heartburn and stomach ache I got as a result was almost worse than the infection.  I had to constantly take Tums and Pepto-Bismol to fight off the nausea and heartburn."


"I am an opiate addict, started abusing Oxycontin, then went to heroin. I started methadone maintenance 8 months ago. I have not used since.  It works great for me, stops cravings and helped with my anxiety and depression.  I take a daily dose of 90mg.  It has given me my life back! However, I am afraid of detoxing from methadone due to symptoms of opiate withdrawal.  My counselor says that I can go down as little as 2.5 mg a week, until I am no longer dependent.  I am starting a very slow detox soon, I will let know how well it works."


"I and many other women had taken this birth control and without any warning ended up in the ER nearly dead with complications caused by taking the birth control. I had developed blood clots that passed through my heart and stuck in my lungs. There were others that had blood clots in their brain. Then when googling I found horrific stories where many many others that have taken the birth control also have their life destroyed by future lifelong complications from taking this drug. Many other women even very young adults died from the clots before they even knew what happened. It is not worth taking the risk. "


"I am a 29 year old Arab-American with stage 1 hypertension. My mom has high blood pressure and my grandma had it also. I have been on Bystolic for 1 week and my blood pressure has gone from 130/100 to 120/80. I hope it continues. So far so good."


"I began reporting my symptoms of peripheral neuropathy to my doctor in the 90's. My stroke in 2002 finally got my doctor's attention that my nerve pain was real. She dropped me as her patient and subsequent doctors ignored my pain complaints. In 2004 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but my Neurologist said not to take Lyrica. Fortunately, I recently got a new Primary Care Physician and new Neurologist. Two weeks ago, my new PCP gave my samples of Lyrica. I am amazed at my improved ability to function already. I think of the years of being bedridden at age 36-41. I can't believe that I wasn't prescribed Lyrica, a decade ago. No side effects so far. I still have pain 24/7, but the relief due to Lyrica, is a miracle."


"It works I have used it 3 or  times. I know a bit too much. I have not experienced any side effects after taking it. Only thing is really bad cramps during period. I have purchased it OTC and with insurance. It's only $50 with one get the non brand."


"I am a 43 year old, otherwise healthy male, with reactive depression due to extreme financial stress over the last 2 years. Couldn't stop obsessive, negative thoughts, to the point I was nearly at breaking point. Was placed on 10mg Lexapro for one week, and then increased to 20mg. Initial side effects were sweating, and insomnia. The sweating passes quickly, and the insomnia has now all but disappeared. The first week, my anxiety and depression may actually have increased, but after that, had steady improvement, until after 6 weeks, felt completely back to my old self. The only ongoing side effect is difficulty achieving orgasm, but I am completely prepared to live with that, considering how I was feeling beforehand. Has been a lifesaver."


"I unfortunately wouldn't recommend this based on my experience. I got it in and had my period for about 2 months straight. Then 3 weeks came where it went away and then it came back even worse and lasted for another 5 to 6 weeks. During those 5 weeks there were about 18 total hours where I wasn't bleeding. Not to mention my back broke out which it's never done before and my mood was affected alot also. Three days after it was inserted I cried for like 4 hours for no reason. I finally got it out yesterday and I couldn't be more relieved. The agony consumed me. I wish It worked for me like it did with others who had their period stop completely and no side effects. Good luck! Lol"


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I had a MRSA staph infection when I was 14. I had almost died from the infection and due to my heart problems it made things even more complicated with treatment. I was in the hospital and had to get surgery on my right had to remove the mass of it. I was released days later after Zyvox started to kill off the rest of it. I took the medicine for 2 weeks and a charity started by the Zyvox company covered most of the expenses."


"Hey ladies hoping I'll help someone out there that's a worry wart like myself! I got skyla implanted yesterday and so far so good! I was on the second day of my period during insertion but as soon as it was placed I've had almost no bleeding! Slight cramps here and there but nothing crazy. Insertion hurt like a mother but it's bearable. (19 w/o kids)"


"Works well for heavy periods."


"60 yr old female.  Second colonoscopy; first time using Prepopik.  Dr instructed me to take 2 Dulcolax at noon day before procedure.  That started the ball rolling!  Then at 5pm first dose of Prepopik.  I started drinking water right away.  First cleanse started about two hours later.  It lasted a few hours.  Took second and last dose of Prepopik at 10pm.  That cleanse came in about 2 hrs.  Lasted about 2 hrs.  Procedure next day at 10am was successful.  Prepopik worked for me.  The Dulcolax certainly helped."


"Better sleep less PAIN"


"Excellent control but caused me lactic acidosis"


"I'm 14 and I've had severe sweating on my hands and feet ever since I was a little kid and then one day I went to the doctor and was given Hypercare. I didn't like the results at all. The sweating was gone for an hour and came back."


"Paxil saved my life.  I was depressed and could not climb out.  Tried Effexor but it made my heart beat rapidly and made me really nervous.  Paxil has been amazing.  I feel like a regular person.  I have highs and lows, but the lows aren't as low as they used to be... and they only occur when there is a real reason to be sad.  The Bad: the withdrawal symptoms are horrible!  I didn't try to get off Paxil, but I forgot it once on a vacation trip.  Got very light headed, dizzy, and I had the "zaps."  It was like being shocked at random moments.  I'll probably never get off Paxil... but it is worth it.  My quality of life improved in the last 3 years and it is worth any long term effect this drug has on me."


"Before I found out I had ADD I had poor grades and I just couldn't sit still for 48 minutes or I would find myself sitting there at the end of class not knowing what happened because I "zoned" out. I was put on Adderall towards the end of my junior year. I graduated last May with a 3.6 GPA! I say this drug worked wonders."


"I have congenital glaucoma this medication was prescribed to me in 2009 the worse medication I've ever had. Tingling of the toes, fingers at times lips. Worse headache of my life and it's related to Diamox according to my doctor. The headache becomes so bad I can't think straight. It doesn't lower eye pressure for me in its entirety. But to a certain degree. Also, accompanied with this medication it falls down horribly on my stomach unbelievable pain as well as dizzy symptoms. Doctor stated to me that this medication does produce these side effects."


"SAVED MY LIFE!!!

I was struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD from a particularly rough teenhood, and motivation for years. I could never get out of bed in the morning, or get anything started (especially completing something). I also used to get traumatic night terrors.

Tramadol changed everything. Every day I leap out of bed at 6am, bounding with energy and motivation. I got my dream job, worked so well that I got promoted to a Senior position within 2 months of starting, and was able to earn enough to move into an even bigger house than what I used to live in.

Also have had zero negative side effects! No messing with weight, libido, and no "crashing" or depressive lows when coming off it. 11/10 for treating depression!"


"This medication has been godsend! It has helped to alleviate the unending suffering, and I'm now back to near normal as far as my daily routine is concerned."


"Prescribed to me to treat anxiety and panic disorder. Couldn’t take this during the day when at work or driving. Found the best time was to take 1.5 pills early in the morning and 1.5 pills before bed. It knocks me out and I have very heavy sleep and clear dreams. When I did take it during the day before work, it made me so dizzy and tired I felt like I was going to pass out or throw up. But those effects only last about 30 min.  I take it really early in the morning and late at night so I can fall back asleep during the more dizzy times and then I wake up completely fine! It has really helped me calm down combined with therapy."


"After trying carbidopa/Levadopa, Mirapex, Requip, & gabapentin, the Neupro is the best.
"


"Am on day six of 10 course for pneumonia. Had a injectable at Dr. Office and then oral meds. Noticed major improvement in coughing and wheezing in 48 hours. Nearly all pneumonia symptoms now abated. Have had major side effects. No appetite, severe dizziness and confusion (just trying to answer work email has been a challenge). I've also experienced constipation and very bad acid reflux. Overall very effective but I'm pretty incapacitated by the side effects."


"started on 10mg for 1 month had nausea and dry mouth, but nausea started to go away, still having depression and some anxiety. then doc went up to 20mg. I been on 20mg for almost two weeks. I been having nausea all day, severe acid reflux, severe indigestion and really bad upset stomach. not sure if this is related but if it is, I cant wait to stop this medicine."


"I was prescribed Nexium after 4 months of trying every other prescription med out there, following 4 months of severe Gerd/ silent reflux symptoms. Within the first 2 days of taking Nexium the lump feeling in my throat started to go away. I am taking 40 mg of the TEVA generic Nexium and so far I feel way better. Hopefully it lasts. I was on Dexilant before 60mg once a day and it gave me about 50% symptom relief. Nexium is the best PPI I have tried for sure and I would recommend to anyone."


"I have been on Amlodipine for several years in addition to a diuretic and ARB for high blood pressure.  Although it does lower blood pressure slightly, its main effect to me was to cause swelling of my ankles and feet.  That became entirely unacceptable to me a couple of months ago.  The edema was so bad that bending my ankles was uncomfortable.  Upon stopping the drug, I can once again see my ankles and the veins of my feet.  I cannot believe that a drug that produces one of the side effects of congestive heart failure can be a good drug.  I am never taking it again."


"My CNP was very knowledgeable, friendly, and gentle with me. She informed me that there would be, "three large cramps" with this procedure, and she was not kidding.The cramps were the most intense I've ever felt, she said women who've had children compared them to minor contractions. For women, like me, who haven't had children opening your cervix is not pleasant and is very painful. I had to make her stop due to becoming lightheaded. The whole thing was very short, it was over within 5 minutes. I did have to lay on the table since I was prone to fainting. Take ibuprofen an hour before, and don't drive yourself! My cramps have been very severe ever since I got it done 4 hours ago, even on 1,000mg of Ibuprofen, 20mg Tramadol, 100mg Naproxen"


"I got Nexplanon in Sept 2014 and I bled everyday for three months. When I went to the doctor about it, she just gave me a low dose birth control to take everyday while still having the Nexplanon in and it stopped the bleeding almost instantly. When I ran out (she only gave me two months worth), I started bleeding again for one month straight and in these past two months, I haven't bled at all! Super effective and definitely worth the wait. Luckily my boyfriend isn't creeped out about period sex. It is pretty annoying but it's better than getting pregnant! Other than that I haven't had any other side effects and I love it! The reason I gave it the 7 was because of how annoying the elongated periods are"


"I've been on 10 mg for 2 months now & wow, what an improvement.  Don't even think about anxiety anymore.  Zoloft never worked for me like this.  I recommend this medication to everyone suffering with anxiety issues."


"I took one pill earlier thinking it was a slower release of a pill, woke up after midnight with the worst abdominal pain and nausea. I was needing relief, but was not expecting to be in this much pain."


"Was previously on lorazapam and switched to Valium in February. Since then I never felt relief and suffered every day from anxiety. It didn't matter if I took 2mg or 12mg I didn't feel better and in fact I felt more anxiety. A week ago I decided to stop it cold turkey and every day since I have felt 90% better. I'm going through some withdrawal like tinnitus and night time sweats but I wake up better and have been feeling happiness. I strongly recommend staying off any benzodiazepine and if you are going to take it, only for bad panic attacks. Never take them daily as they are very addictive and quite difficult to get off of. They say that benzos are more difficult to get off of than heroin. Try Gabapentin for anxiety."


"Help! My skin seemed to be normal with few breakouts... I started aczone 7.5 and it is terrible! Pimples and redness all over my face! Is this normal?!? Should I wait it out?! It's been about 3 weeks."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"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"


"I have my Implanon since January 2013. I'm happy with that so much. My period is every two months. Only one side effect is my breast pains two weeks before period."


"Headache.pain on backbone stomach.trouble sleeping.feeling tired"


"OMG reading these reviews is making me a feel a little better because this shit is sooooooo painful. I got a YI after antibiotics with a UTI a few months ago and took the pill orally that I received from the doctor at urgent care since they're so common with UTIs.

This time had INTENSE itching right before my period and took Monistat day 1 of my period because I wanted the slight itch to go away and it burns/itches now 10 times worse. I'm hoping that the intensity of these side effects is an indication that the monistat is working because of this continues into tomorrow I just don't know what I'm going to do."


"Completely non functional, just not for me, I cut the 25 mg ones into Quarters, ONLY if I'm a little too hyper before I go to sleep."


"I am 76. My wife died after an extended illness that made intercourse painful. Probably my Ed was psychological so when I met someone and wanted intercourse again it was not possible. I had been on cialis at a reduced dosage for prostate health for a couple of years and decided to go with the daily dose of 5 mg to see if that helped. Boy did it ever!  It took about three weeks but erections were back as never before. Here is a 76 year old man and a 65 year old youngster having sex twice a day usually with multiple orgasms for both of us. We are amazed. More sex in the past 4 months than in previous 15 years for both of us. I did use a 25 mg dose of viagra for the first couple of weeks but soon found it was not necessary."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"After three Nulasta shots, three weeks apart, each one caused basically the same side effects which was severe pain.  After the second/third day, the pain started and it was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my lifetime.  In the bones and muscles.  I took Advil that seemed to take the edge off but didn't take it away. Tried tylenol and it was basically the same, not much help.  The severe pain lasted for about five days.  Even seven or eight days later, I  still had serious pain in the  bones but not as bad as the first five days."


"My obsessive compulsive disorder has improved significantly. It has also helped with depression but I just up my doses from 150mg to 225mg to see if I can get more of an antidepressant effect. Almost no side effect. I take it in the morning and I do not feel sleepy. Anger and irritability has improved as well significantly.
For those who share in the future let me know how much you take please. It helps."


"I've suffered from depression and anxiety for the past 7 years. I've tried many anti depressants and this is by far the best. I haven't been able to work in 5 years and I'm not back in full time employment. I'm also down to 20mg from 50mg which is fantastic I can tell you. Yes I put on 5 stone. But some of that was quitting smoking to. But I'm alive. After several attempts at taking my own life. This drug although I have those feelings still. This drug helps me by giving me the boost I need to talk myself out of it. Yay for this tablets!"


"I've been on nexplanon for about 9 months now and at first I was happy because I didn't have to worry about getting my period, which is weird because most of the reviews I've read said women experienced bleeding for the first 6 months. Going into my tenth month however I've noticed some spotting and have been experiencing breast pain mostly my nipples have felt sore and sensitive. Also my mood swings have been out of control! I feel so bad for my boyfriend for putting up with them. I get so annoyed and irritated easily. As far as the weight gain, sad but true I have gained about 10 pounds which I'm not so happy about but rather be 10 pounds heavier than being pregnant."


"Was out on this drug in '93.  Although it helps I know I shouldn't have been given this for so long.  What can I do to wean off.  I never took it as prescribed  I was told to take 3 only take 2."


"I have been on the birth control patch for over 3 years now and I haven't had any problems with it. I recommend it to anyone who is forgetful like I am, when it comes to taking the pill."


"Feel so much better since being on Plaquenil since 2013. Always have reg eye tests.  My inflammation level is only a 2 now and it was 39.  Still feel a little tired now and then but I blame it on working 30 hrs a week. Hope this drug helps you too."


"I'm pregnant and have had recurring yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. I'm on an antibiotic for the BV and my OBGYN recommended this for the YI. I put the ovule in about an hour ago and now it feels like my vagina is on fire. I'm still itchy as hell and it feels like my labia are swollen and on fire. I will never use this again."


"I had to stop taking Gildess when my insurance changed, but for a review:

I took Gildess for over two years, I've never had any issues. Yes I gained some weight, then I lost it. Yes my acne fluctuated.. this relates to stress levels as well. Overall it did a great job keeping me child free and I had no issues with it at all. Fingers crossed my new BC is just as good."


"I've had a sweating problem since I was about 13 years old in my underarms. I could put on any kind of shirt (loose or tight fitting) and In minutes my underarms would be soaked... I thought I was going to have to live with this for my whole life until a lady told me about Hypercare! It truly is a miracle... It worked after the first application. My underarms have been dry ever since. I can wear any shirt I want now and I feel like a new person."


"Good"


"I am currently on enbrel and have been for just shy of a year.  It is an absolute miracle drug. I was completely unable to function with my severe plaque and gutate psoriasis.  I am 21 and have been using everything on and off the market to try and clear it up.  Even purchased a $5,000 UVB light system.  If you need to get insurance to clear the enbrel medication you need to prove that your psoriasis is severe. "


"This medicine  is not for me it swells my face and hands unbelievable"


"Came down with some sort of virus, thankfully not the flu but could already tell that nausea was going to be a problem. I asked my doc to prescribe this med to me as I had used a couple times before when I had severe stomach upset, thankfully I have insurance and only paid 15$ for 20  which was well worth it. To be honest it is helping my anxiety ( GAD/ panic disorder) as well. The script stated to take 1/2 to one 8 mg tablet 3x a day as needed. I have taken 2 in the last 9 hours and will most likely take half before bed simply to keep as a preventative measure so I don't wake up with nauseated at 2 in the morning. Honestly a miracle drug, blows phenergan out of the water. Recommend to anyone who has the flu, food poisoning or a virus."


"I am currently on Depakote. I was put on Depakote while I was in the hospital after having an acute anger episode. It worked the at first but now I am getting highly irritable for no reason and am bruising easily and it is very unusual bruising. I want to get off of it because I am having a lot of episodes. More than ever before. I have been on Abilify and Prozac and now this. Nothings working that well."


"I was on the study to get Savella approved in US.I went from only being able to work 8 hours a week to 40 hours thanks to Savella. Changed my life for the better."


"I have had no major adverse effects from taking Xarelto.  However, it seems that since starting this, the back of my lower neck itches all the time.  I have scrubbed my neck, I have no rash or appearance of anything unusual, just the itch. Wonder if this medicine could cause this.  I believe I ran across an article of someone complaining of the same condition but I don't know where I saw it."


"Prescribed after surgery repairing neck, C4,5,&6 .  Nerve damage from an injury. Metanx was an excellent suggestion from my doctor.  Now if my hands start to feel burning or tingling, I go back on the metanx.   Thank you!"


"I've been on this joke for medication for 3 months now because the doctor refused to change me from it while I was going through diagnostic procedures and finally nerve ablation. It's never helped my pain. It's given me severe headaches, made me irritable, I've gained 30lbs on it, had swelling in my legs and arms and also really has affected my moods and my patience level. I've begged for a change or an increase but was told he wanted me to stay where I was until after the ablation. Well had that 2 weeks ago, since then I've had major increases in pain, a headache that hasn't stopped since the procedure, hip pain (That wasn't there before the procedure). I'm on a low dose for this, I don't think I need a break through pain thru med."


"This was the first time I've tried Miconazole and got the 3 day applicator. My yeast infection gave me really bad swelling and burning, but shortly after using this product the burning got so intense I couldn't sleep anymore. You couldn't pay me to finish days 2 and 3. Worst pain ever"


"Hypercare WORKS! It was fantastic. And since it's an externally-applied product, your body wont "adapt" to it over time & lessen the effect it can provide."
