"I have taken dulcolax a few times due to me suffering with ibs and constipation. I take 2 tablets at bedtime and they normally work around 12 hrs later. I normally have cramps with the bm and hot sweats but these don't bother me to much as I know it passes after visiting the loo. Last night I took 2 and nothing has happened yet 15.5 hrs later. Can  anyone recommend anything else."


"Gained a greater range of motion after rotator cuff surgery."


"I believe you guys are taking the medicine without food on your stomach or not enough. I haven't had 1 of the side effects you guys named. I'm on my 7th day I'm feeling fine. I'm taking it for an ear infection haven't had a flare up since."


"Not trying to deal people out but it Didn't work. Took four hours after condom broke and ended up pregnant. If you already ovulate I don't think this works. Advice : take vitamin c without bioflavoids or rose hips asap!!! It stops the increase of progesterone so the fertilized egg can't implant."


"I started taking these tablets about 1 month ago, and so far my forehead has begun to clear up but my face and my lips are really dry! I hate it especially because I'm only 15 and everyone at school ask me why I've got chapped lips... I hate it! But I guess it will be worth it! I can't wait to have clear skin although my scarring will still be there:("


"Gets you to sleep every time. Don't wake up throughout the night. No sleeping pill hangover effect. Never experienced any bad side effects."


"I had an upper GI endoscopy a few days ago and was so nervous of being awake through the procedure. I guessed that Propofol would be used so I read these reviews and they made me less worried. I went in for my procedure and was so relieved that the Propofol worked so well that I laughed about how worried I was once I woke up in recovery. It was so nice that I could do it again tomorrow I said. They started putting it through the IV and told me I may feel a burn sensation. I barely felt anything but i had a weird smell type sensation. 10 seconds later I was out and waking up in recovery!! I was a tad loopy but within a few minutes I was normal. I took a nap when I got home then had more energy than I have had in days. I felt great!!"


"I was diagnosed with OCD 20 years ago and was taking Anafranil for 16 years. It helped with panic and agoraphobia but still has lingering OCD tendencies such as hoarding, impulse shopping and trich(pulling body hairs). An example of hoarding is I am single and would have to maintain at least 30 twelve packs of soda in my home to relieve my anxiety. Luvox has been incredible at eliminating 99% of my OCD symptoms with zero side effects. I take 100 mg in the morning and 200 mg at bedtime. I have also been diagnosed with MDD, GAD, SAD, PTSD. Unfortunately, Luvox has not helped in any of those other areas and have augmented it with Wellbutrin which has actually worsened the above conditions and has created fear and paranoia."


"Relieves some fibromyalgia pain, but causes weight gain and fatigue. Does nothing for muscle spasms."


"I took my 1st Vivitrol shot around 9/10/14, 2nd -3rd-4th-and the fifth shot 01/04/15. By injection 30 days apart. I can honestly tell you that I have not had any cravings for alcohol since the very 1st day of shot. I can personally tell you that I have not had any side effects. Some people may have but I have not. I now speak at my rehab center (Clarity)  where I was at.  I'm a firm believer in Vivitrol. Saved my life. I will take it for a year."


"This is the best thing that ever happened to me.  I suffered through migraines starting at about age 12.  Tried Inderal, Imitrex, among a host of other drugs.  I've been on it for over 4 years and no more migraines.  Yes, there was some tingling for the first few months, but it was not a big deal, just felt like my toes had fallen asleep and were "waking up".  Since I was already on a weight loss plan, I don't know if it helped in that area or not.  I can't say that I had any other side affects.  I've always stumbled with my words and this hasn't increased that issue.  I certainly didn't notice it changing the way things taste!"


"I was on this less than a year ago and it really cleared up my face to the best it's ever been. My face became really smooth though, it was a bit drying. I stopped using it for a few months and broke out a lot, now I'm trying to use it again and it doesn't seem to be working."


"This pill is great for me! I've tried the shot, nuva ring, ortho tricyclen, seasonique, so many birth controls and each one caused spotting or bleeding every single day over about 2 years unless I was not on a pill. I also still had extremely heavy periods with them. On this pill I spotted for about the first 15 days then nothing. My period was the lightest it's been since high school. Lighter than high school so I'm very happy to finally find a pill that works. I was just about to give up."


"I didn't have many problems  with Lamictal XR .  Just sleep problems for about 3 or 4 days and then I adjusted.  Constipation also plagued me.  I had a breakthrough partial seizure and doc changed from 100mg to 150mg. Now I am having a lot of problems.  My sleep is really disturbed, really bad dreams and panic attacks waking me up while sleeping.  Wish he could put me at 125mg.  Will have to check with him and see if that will keep seizures at bay. I have been a week and one half without a seizure."


"I have HBP as a side effect of Cyclosporin and Myfortic used as anti-rejection meds for a liver transplant.  I was first on Amalopidine and after two years of numbness/severe chills/exhaustion/extreme susceptibility to cold (I am Canadian) and stage 2 kidney failure I suspected it and discontinued it on my own.  The named side-effects cleared within six months but the HPB also reappeared.  Enter Hydrochlorothizide ---  After two years my kidney function is normal - BP fully controlled @115/75 and absolutely no downside effects other than peeing a lot  =NoBigDeal!

Great med for me"


"I highly recommend this product.  I have been constipated for several weeks now and my doctor recommended 2 days before colonoscopy (in addition to prescription prep).  I chose grape flavored CVS brand.  I refrigerated night before and took at 6:45pm next evening.  It is very sour but carbonated so it was doable.  A family member suggested that I eat at same time to cut down on nausea which really helped.  At first I felt like my stomach was going to explode because I drank the 10 oz bottle followed by 16 oz of water.  Then there was a lot of stomach bubbling.  I finally was comfortable enough to lie down and eventually fell off to sleep to be then awakened by this urge to pass gas at 12:40am.  Don't do it!!!  Find a toilet fast!  It works!"


"First my first time on birth control this had to be the worse option for me. The first month was fine, the second month my period lasted for 18 days, the third month I began to feel dizzy the day before my period would start, I would get terribly sick  before each period after that. For the first 4 months I'd have tender breasts for the entire month. I gave it an extra 3 months to see if anything would change since my body was just trying to adjust to the new medication but nothing changed. I got tired of the 2 week long periods so I stopped the medication."


"I have generalized anxiety disorder and I only take Valium as needed. When I am going to do something that will make me particularly anxious (e.g. a date with a girl) I take 3mg. It helps me to be myself."


"Only on day 1 and like everyone else experienced insane itching and discomfort upon application. Seriously thought about scraping it out with a Q-tip, but after a lil Google searching, found throwing an ice pack between my legs and lying down, SO MUCH BETTER! Honestly I figured I'd suffer through it to get rid of the infection. But it's so much more bearable when you ice your lady parts."


"Got Nexplanon on November 24th and its been 5 days having it. Had hot flashes for 3 days after I got it put in my arm. Before getting the birth control my moods were severe and out of control but since being on it so far I feel calmer and more relaxed and not feeling like I want to hurt people. I have had itchiness at the insertion site but I think its because it is healing. So all in all I feel its a good birth control. I will wait a few months and review it again after my body gets used to it."


"I am going to start this medication tonight and by reading these reviews I am so hopeful. Thank you to everyone who has posted the good and the bad!"


"My mother was diagnosed in 2007 and started Tarceva treatment in 2008.  At 150 mg dose, she had a lot of side affects.  At 100 mg she is doing excellent with no sign of growth.  She was a never smoker and had 4 months of Chemo and radiation before her surgery.  It seems as if that course of treatment in women responds well to Tarceva."


"1st started taking for depression and PTSD and anxiety. Then I got in accident, now I take it for the above AS WELL AS headaches leg pain,nerve pain in legs. Great old school drug. Oh also helps insomnia"


"Female, 26, SW: 209

Currently on week 3 of Contrave. I've experienced all of the bad side effects (dry mouth, insane nausea, trouble sleeping at night, drowsiness during the day, vomiting, mental fogginess, severe dizziness, some anxiety, and weird dreams). Started to feel better by end of 2nd week, still dizzy but not debilitating. Usually workout 4x/week and can't because of dizziness. Increased to 3/day yesterday and the side effects are almost as bad as 1st week. I have noticed I don't have the cravings I usually do and can say no to food. However, I am still pretty hungry throughout the day. I'm hoping the side effects will go away and this will begin working. Will update when I have weighed in. Don't think I've lost any weight."


"I was on three 10mg ERs per day and it was wonderful.  Low side effects, did not need to increase dose even after years. Now that they've pulled it, I've tried oxycontin (20mg twice/day) and then Exalgo (8mg once/day) and neither works as well as the Opana.  I have lupus and OA (need joint replacement)."


"Did 12 weeks VPac   Cleared virus at 4 weeks last May just had labs again still undetected. After treatment I have only gone down hill, my liver has grown 3 cm  went from a F0 to a F2-3 moderate never had liver pain prior... ever.
Now  I have pain in my liver at a level 9 ,going straight thru to back.  I had no liver issues prior
felt I was not a candidate for this drug yet as I was having no liver issues. But sick with Lyme, EBV and as I had thyroid cancer and my labs are not good, lots of immune disorders disease, now think I got liver cancer the pains so bad, I knew when I got that first box when I touched it I had such a bad feeling I threw it to back of my closet for a month till I got pressured to take it, MISTAKE"


"Amazing difference."


"Well today is day 4 and as of today I am 1 day smoke-free I know it said I can smoke up until seven days but I ran out of cigarettes and I decided not to get anymore and to be honest I don't even have the urge to smoke I thought it would be really hard to quit I have tried the patches  really didn't like the way that  it made me feel  asked the doctor for help and she gave me Chantix hopefully I won't have to go no longer than the 12 weeks thank you not only for me but for my four boys   What a wonderful way to start the new year smoke-free"


"This medication did not seem to work any better than others I have taken, but it has made me extremely drowsy. I was not feeling well when I started taking it, so it took me a full week to figure out the XYZAL was making me so tired. I do not recommend this drug if you are susceptible to drowsiness side effects. Since it is sold in a 24-hour pill, I'm stuck being sleepy for a long time until this pill is out of my system."


"JUNE 9th weight 246 LBS. JUNE 25 weight 237lbs (weight lost before I started Belviq in order not to confound the results. Anyone can lose 9 lbs of weight gain efficiently in 16 days. It's the hard fought lbs that follow that are troublesome to lose and start the decline to excuses and discouragement. These are the LBS that I will give the credit to Belviq so that no one can say "It was water weight" or other excuse. July 22 224 Responder in spades!"


"I had been suffering from psoriasis for 5  years and began to feel arthritis pain 3 years ago. The psoriatic symptoms and arthritis pain disappeared when I was pregnant but had since come back three fold. My debilitating arthritis pain in my hands and wrist, knees and hips prevented me from being the best mom I could be. I could not take it anymore. I'm relatively young (38) so I had to be very proactive in my diagnosis and treatment. I was sure that I did not want to take methotrexate and wanted a biological. I did my research and knew the risks. Enbrel is a miracle for me. The pain relief was instant, within 5 hours of the first shot. It's been three months and I have full movement, minimal to no pain. I am excited to ski again!"


"I was given Nucynta 75mg and at first it was great but after 7 months it no longer worked. I go to see my doctor tomorrow and I will ask for something different."


"I started using acetylcysteine last May. For the first time in 20 years my lungs were clear. My bronchitis disappeared. My FEV1 increased 25 per cent. My sinus condition cleared up and the headaches were gone. I do not understand why this medicine is not used routinely for COPD and other respiratory ailments."


"I have been on this for almost a full month, and can't wait to get off of it. The nausea has been awful, I was prescribed zofran which did nothing, and then was prescribed phenergan, it made it bareable. This has felt like being seasick 24/7, my pain management doctor will not change me to something new untill I see him again. If he doesn't take me off of this I will be looking for a new doctor."


"Have been prescribed tessalon perles several times for bronchitis and they've never once worked for me. I might as well eat a sugar cube. Sadly cough drops do a better job of suppressing my cough than tessalon perles and that's nothing to brag about. The previous poster who wants the syrup is right, that stuff is the only thing that really works."


"I am 19 years old & I have been taking Lutera for about seven months now. I have had hormonal problems and have noticed that this is a great solution. The pills are small and easy to take along with my other medications. The first two months of taking it I felt pretty nauseous & my breasts were a little tender.

I started having sex about five months ago & I was very nervous at first about getting pregnant, however after being on this contraception, I am confident that this is a genuinely effective pill to take. I strongly recommend!!"


"I sleep deeper and wake up refreshed. It doesn't knock me out or stop anxious thoughts, but once I get to sleep, I sleep so well and with less awakenings."


"Vimpat has been doing a great job at stopping seizures.  In fact I might even get to drive!  However, it seems to cause great difficulty in remembering words and expressing ones self.  Having previously been a great public speaker this is frustrating as now I cannot really talk without waving my hands around for a long time or saying "that one thing" or "uhhhhh".  Typing is greatly slowed as I can't remember words.  Forgetting things when not talking is also a problem.  Problems with coordination are also apparent."


"Urgent care Doc gave me Colcrys and Voltaren for a flare up in my kneee.  First flare ever in knee, wow, I thought it was bad in the foot, but it's nothing compared to the knee!  The doctor gave me a 3 day supply, buy the end of day 1 I was at least 75% better, by the end of day two no pain.  This worked wonders for me, good luck to you."


"After 47 years of smoking more than a pack a day and after 15 years of dreaming to get rid of it , I finally heard of Champix as it is called in these parts. It's like a miracle. The cravings, almost unbearable with cold turkey, went away just like that from the very beginning. I am in my third  clean week now. Side effects are really crazy dreams, a daylong slight dizziness, loss of appetite, constipation. But it's all worth it. Short pangs of craving occasionally occur. This product should be far more widely publicized ! There is hope now."


"I received the medication this morning in 2 x 500mg tablets after a call in from the doctor, even with protection I caught chlamydia recently! Absolutely no pain or discomfort except pure bloating. Had a pub lunch and beer for lunch with no issues... 8 hrs after taking I'm now consuming a glass of wine as heading out for a birthday, bloating a lot worse and it has gone straight to my head but no dramas as yet... will try and keep of the shots tonight though!"


"Others have warned abut this but DO NOT TAKE IF YOU HAVE ANXIETY ISSUES. I took this for two weeks at 150mg. First week was fine, felt blunted emotionally a bit which was not necessarily a bad thing. Around day 11 I started having bad anxiety about 10 hours after dosage and I felt sore and worn out. It was unbearable, I did this for 3 days more before quitting. I contacted my Dr who said I did the right thing. THEN I was emotionally in pain for a few days and weeping about every hour. I felt raw, like I had not skin to protect me. They say wellbutrin is easy to drop well I don't know...it might be because of my anxiety but I feel a lot worse now then I did before taking it."


"Absolutely did NOT work! Waste of $20 and there's no way to get a refund!"


"I have been taking tramadol for over 11 years for RLS and while I think it works pretty well for my legs, I feel I have to take more than prescribed to get the same amount of relief that I did when I began the medication.  I have not told my doctor for fear that she will take me off the medicine.  The withdrawal symptoms are horrendous. My legs are 10 times worse when I am coming off tramadol.  I get involuntary spasms in both my arms and legs and am extremely moody.  It is near impossible for me to sleep without the tramadol.  I am not trying to scare anyone away from taking it because I know it has worked wonders for a lot of other people. "


"I was prescribed Concerta 54mg for two weeks, and after two weeks my dosage was lowered to 36mg. The positive effects: First of all, it was absolutely effective at keeping me focused, engaged, and gave me the motivation to continue working away at my given tasks. It also accelerated my perception of time. The (manageable) negatives: It made me so focused on tasks that I was antisocial. Fixating on annoying sounds, anxiety, sweaty palms, no appetite, and weight loss (25lbs). I found I was lacking emotion, and during the long comedown I was irritable and rarely I experienced mild to moderate depression. Concerta is an effective ADHD drug, but the emotional effects can be annoying at times. It is worth consulting your doctor about!"


"I have been on Nexplanon since January 2013, when it was put in my arm it didn't really hurt, kinda just pressure. I bruised for about a week but then it went away. Honestly 99 percent of the time I don't even remember that I have it, it doesn't hurt in my arm, or anything. I have no side effects, except that my acne got a little worse but that could just be because I'm 20 and still young. It had worked for me 100% of the time, I have no gotten pregnant and I have no had a period since it was inserted."


"I am 4 1/2 years post liver transplant. Take 2mg 2 x daily since initial year.  Not aware of any particular side effects.  Have had no incidence of rejection as far as I know.  Overall, drug appears to do what it is supposed to do, thankfully."


"Humira has really been a life saver. I wasn't sure if I was going to see another day in my life without pain and then I was introduced to Humira..it truly is a blessing, I don't have any side effects from the shot at all."


"Took this medicine for a horrible horrible HORRIBLE kidney infection. Worked within 2 days and cleared up all of my symptoms, which was such a relief. I was told to finish off the bottle by my doctor, and the next day I developed a horrible case if the hives. I stopped taking the medicine immediately, but the hives stuck around for another 3 days. What a miserable week! So, Bactrim worked wonders for my kidney infection, but little did I know I was severely allergic to it. Take with caution."


"No nausea. No breakthrough bleeding. But my mood has changed I'm not as exciting as I used to be, I'm less happy. And my sex drivemis at zero! Switching pills tomorrow."


"My Dr. gave me this medicine as a trial when I was diagnosed with adult onset asthma. I tried Qvar first and that gave me chest pain and tightness. This medicine had no side effects at all and worked great. The only downfall is my insurance doesn't cover this so I have to switch to something else."


"I am on week 11 of 12. Almost done!

I have genotype 3a. I have only had hep c for two years, but it's been a rough two years. I already have stage two liver fibrosis, as well as fatty liver disease, not to mention my liver enzymes had consistently stayed in around 90 and 200. I learned that genotype 3 can be very aggressive.

Even though my doctor told me this medicine, should work great for me, I was still worried it wouldn't work for me.

The first couple of weeks taking epclusa I was more fatigued than usual, but that side effect subsided. I haven't really had any other side effects at all!

since 6 weeks in, my viral load is undetectable, and my liver enzymes are back to normal levels for the first time in 2 years!"


"Been on various anxiety meds but celexa is  the best.  Reluctantly went on the celexa because I have anxiety and not depression.  Celexa is a miracle pill. My anxiety is totally gone unlike taking Ativan or Xanax which was just a temporary fix.   I no longer have anxiety, my stomach feels better, no built up of anger, I participate in functions. Only draw back, you can kiss your sex life good bye."


"First week-  I was cold all the time and I'm never cold.  I had flu like body aches.  I had nausea after the first day.  By the fourth day I had vomiting and diarrhea for about 8 hours straight.  Today is one week after the first injection and my stomach is still not the same.  I will NOT be taking another injection.  Also for several days horrible belching a rotten egg smell"


"My anxiety is pretty bad to the point it makes me feel ADHD, depressed and overall anxious. It's not that I dread or fear anything, it feels more like I'm in a constant panic attack, defensively bad mood! Then came Paxil and my life did a complete 180. I still have ADHD but as soon as I notice it acting up I'm able to laugh it off, stop, and reorganize to get back on track. I don't feel helpless or sad anymore. This runs on both sides of my family but more so on the maternal side.  I "got better" so I stopped cold turkey. Do not do this. It is absolutely horrific and I experienced some of the worst silent panic attacks ever!  Meedless to say, I am back on it and will never come off it again!"


"My first day on Belviq. 43 yo male - 243lbs. I had a freaky illness about 4 years ago that shook me to my core. Suffered from severe anxiety after the whole ordeal. My doc put my on Zoloft to combat the anxiety (did the trick) but I gained 25 pounds in the process. Finally stopped Zoloft but haven't been able to shed the weight despite running 3 marathons & eating well. Recently approached my doc about Belviq (after great reviews on this site). After some blood tests, she prescribed it. I am sensitive to meds so I was quite nervous popping the first pill. Pretty quickly I felt a happy, a little revved-up and no much of an appetite. Stayed that way all day. No headache or dizziness so far. Fingers-crossed this is going to work."


"Addition to my original post: Started on 1/19/2017 5'4" 18 yr. old female weighing 168 lbs. Always been a little overweight and decided to make a change. It is now 2/17/2017 and have lost 7 lbs. so I now weigh 161. I got those results with a semi-strict diet and working out frequently (about 5-6 days a week). I don't have a ton of weight to lose so it hasn't melted off as fast as others but it definitely works! Just have extreme dry mouth. I would recommend this to anyone serious about losing weight. Will update again in a month. ***3/17/17 *** now weigh 154.6, total weight loss of 14 lbs. in two months. This month will be my last month bc my body fat and bmi will most likely be back in normal range"


"So, recently I got switched off from aviane which was the best birth control ever! Because, I moved out of province they didn't carry aviane so they put me on alesse. I'm going on 21 years old, I'm 5'3, and I've never passed 115 pounds using aviane. Using alesse I have gained almost 10 pounds the last few months of use! This birth control has worsen my acne, caused me severe head aches, worsen my abdominal pain thru out and off my period, heavy bloating, worsen my constipation, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and rather 5 days my periods are 7-9. I'm glad this birth control suits most of you ladies on here, for myself it has been the worst! Obviously not for every woman, defiantly not for me! Looking to switch ASAP!"


"I was previously on gildess fe 1/20, I was told it was no longer available so the pharmacy switched me to Blisovi fe 1/20. I've been on it for about three months and I have gained about 20 pounds. I'm almost always moody, and bloated. Before taking this medication I weighed about 136, I now weigh 160lbs. My doctor tried to tell me that there's no possible way its because of the birth control, but I know for a fact that it is."


"This is my second day of taking 100mg, 3 times a day. I tell you they've helped me with the pain. I can walk and sit up an sit down, with out being in agony.
I've had sciatica now for over 2 years an in my back buttocks and legs.
I would go to bed to sleep an wake up and couldn't go back to sleep because of the pain. That the pain would stay with me all day.
I was taking codamols 30\500. Ibuprofen, an also using cream and hot water bottles too.
All I ended up with, pain not shifting and a stomach ulcer.
This new tablet I'm taking has helped me loads, like I said it doesn't get rid of all the pain but its such a relief that I'm not in agony any more.
The Dr has put me on some anti sickness tablets metoclopramide that helps too."


"I've only had it for 2 weeks, so my opinion doesn't mean a lot. But so far it's been pretty good. The insertion was painful (my doctor didn't hesitate about getting this puppy in) but it was fast & my insurance covered the whole thing! My arm was sore & had moments of pain here & there, but nothing Advil couldn't fix. I don't recommend it if you're sensitive to mild pain. I'm bad with it but I don't regret it a bit. I had bleeding for the first three days but so far it's been gone. My co worker got her's & went to work the next day, so you won't be so sore depending on how your doctor inserts it. She told me it'll be sensitive in that area for a few weeks to a few months, but after a while it's just nothing. Overall, I'm satisfied."


"My right hip and pelvis were both surgically modified when I was 5 years old. 30 years later here I was in so much pain I could no longer sleep and I was starting to have thoughts of hurting it worse just for that few seconds of relief immediately after. I went to the doctors and tried way many pain killers until he put me on Cymbalta 1 cap 1 a day and 60mg Oxycontin 3 times a day. This worked well other than the super low energy add some Dexedrine and I was good to go but now almost a year later it has stopped working. "


"After about 14 hours after taking it I didn't think it was going to work, but unfortunately it decided to kick in when I was in the middle of taking a shower. I won't go into anymore details, but be careful if you do take it. You never know when it'll decide to creep up on you."


"I've been on 1mg / day of Klonopin for over 2 years now, for social anxiety disorder. It saved my life, which was spinning out of control. Panic attacks that would come out of nowhere. Embarrassing social situations, awful feelings of dread. It's settled me back down ad allowed me to be myself again, more or less. I hate the fact that I am dependent on a drug to be "normal". It's a secret I keep from everyone in my life. I know I'm dependent on it now because I went 3 days without it once, and on the 3rd day, I was Mr. Anxiety again, but worse. Trembling hands, motor skills out of whack, disorientation. "


"Be attentive to your body and take note of any side effects. I've been on this for 2 weeks and had to stop because of debilitating headaches, blurry vision and neck/back pain which could have led to a worse condition. Yes it was working, but it wasn't worth the side effects"


"I've had insomnia for years now and I finally asked my psych. for something to help me get some sleep.  She gave me trazodone.  I remember taking it in the way past to treat depression and I took upwards of 400 mg.  Now I tried 300mg the first night and I could barely stand the next day. I tried 150mg the next night and I still felt drowzy the next day.  So I said forget it.  Then last night I cut the 150 Tri scored tablet into about 10mg.  I slept like a rock and woke up without feeling drowzy.  I feel alive and rested.  I make a bunch of these small trazodones for myself and will take it until I get used to it.  I give this medicine an A ."


"This medicine has been generally been quite effective in controlling my seizures, once I controlled for other factors like sleep, caffeine, etc.  I gained 10% or so of my body weight in the winter, but I'm pretty confident if I work harder I can reverse that (by more regular workouts and more careful fat and especially carb intake).  "


"Totally eliminates my night sweats.  I went out of town one night an forgot to take it with me - I couldn't sleep at all because of the sweating an agitation.  I won't make that mistake again."


"I love this medication.  Not only has it reduced my blood sugar levels, I lost 12 pounds in 2 months.  I take 50/1000 twice a day with no side effects."


"I was given this cream to use on my face. I had an awful breakout on my skin and decided to scrub the crap out of one pimple with a washcloth.. It got much worse from this and turned into a very infected sore/burn. It went on for a week before I was given silvadene.. Put it on my face at night and woke up in the morning with almost completely new skin in the affected area. This is my second night putting it on and I'm really looking forward to morning! I think it'll be all gone. This stuff is witchcraft."


"I started this because I was possibly going to be put on methotrexate for lupus. The only thing I have noticed was weight loss, about a pound per week."


"Doesn't work for real insomnia at all. At best 4 hours of restless sleep with high anxiety, disorientation and muscle fatigue."


"I am 26 years old and have never been pregnant.  I had mine inserted approximately 2 weeks ago.  The insertion was quite painful for me because my cervix was very, very tight and she needed two attempts to get it in there.  Afterwards I felt very hot, nauseous and dizzy for about an hour.  My cramps remained for the rest of the day.  But by the third day, I felt GREAT.

I love it.  What a great thing to have."


"I was put on 200mg at night for insomnia and it worked great for that.  However, I noticed that I was putting on weight pretty quickly.  I tried Remeron and gained more weight (alot) and felt terrible.  I have to see my doctor tomorrow...I went to 100mg at night and hope to go to 50mg.  I still need to lose weight from the Remeron...hopefully a low dose of seroquel will be ok..."


"I personally love it. Great stuff"


"After shot #1 I felt great. After shot # 2 I felt like I was having an RA flare. The night of shot #3 I felt like I might have the start of the flu. Within 2 days I had high fever, chills, teeth chattering. All my joints were in extreme pain, could not stand, felt dehydrated. Could hear my heart beat and blood whooshing in my ears. If this happens to you call 911. I took several  Vitamin C &  my husband helped me drink water while waiting for ambulance. I had blood poisoning due to an infected tooth ( did not realize I had a tooth problem until I was violently sick  )
 Your Dr will try to convince you to take these shots. Abbvie the makers of humira are marketing this to stock brokers. I think my dr.  Must own stock in Abbvie / Humira. Beware!"


"I've only been taking this med for 5 days, but I don't get any of the extra energy that my doctor said I would. Does it take a while to get in your system or is it supposed to work immediately?"


"I have been on this medication for over a month at the highest dose. I haven't lost any weight and it has caused chest pain, so much so that I had to get an EKG. It has also  caused severe upper stomach pain, I wouldn't recommend this medication to anyone it's not worth the cost!!"


"I have been on this medication for 3 weeks and so far it has been a God send and given me my life back. The first week was tough as my bladder was in agony but it has all paid of now. I still have some bad days but they are nowhere near as bad as they used to be. I feel 22 again. I recommend anyone to give this a try. I have tried all the other medications and none of them worked. This has worked wonders for me. Very happy customer!"


"My Daughter was,dignosed yrs ago before hurricane Katrena we tried depocote Dilantin
etc. nothing work my husband and I worried she was having 20 seizures a day and more.
Her Grandfather had Eepilepsy, and I have it as well .I have had grand mal seizures.
recently the Lsu Doctor's Dr.Ryan Smith cut us both off Kloipin .
and my Daughter may not make it she is Seizureing night and Day. God forgive there soul."


"I have been taking Paxil for about 6 years now and it stopped my anxiety attacks almost totally.  Great help and balances out my stress level with being a professional working mom with 101 things to do a day.  Would recommend it highly."


"I first started taking phen back in Feb 2016 I was 200lbs, by August 2016 I was 149! So it works! I got pregnant that month and gained it all back plus an extra 8lbs, had baby in April I stopped breastfeeding this month and decided to get back on this medication, started last week on July 12th weighing in at 208.8 July 19th I'm down to 200, so almost 9 lbs in a week! I'm hoping to get down to 130"


"I've been on methadone maintenance now for nearly three years. It truly saved my life. I am now back to being a productive member of society and believe it to be a gift. I have absolutely no desire to use opiates any longer."


"Been on this pill for three weeks. The first week I had headaches and nausea and almost quit taking it due to the side effects but my body adjusted. I have a lot of digestive tract issues but this works for me. I have grown almost a cup size and on certain days have tenderness. My sex drive is a lot higher than normal. I had some spotting and a few minor breakouts during the second week. So far so good. I'm 19 and this is my first birth control. No complaints so far, its worth trying."


"Diagnosed with having ADHD in my early 20's. Dr. wanted me to try out Strattera before a stimulant since I also have anxiety and he feared a med like Adderrall would make it worst.

This is my second month on it and it does seem to be working. I am better able to concentrate and my head seems more "clear". I'm on 80mg.

Stomach-aches and drowsiness started off horrible when I first began taking this med but these side effects are almost gone. Still get dry mouth which ranges from mild to "it feels like I've eaten cotton and sand".

Unless the side effects are too intense for you, I would at least give this med two months. Think it gets such a bad rep because people don't give it a chance."


"What is thiisssssss?! My vagina is on firrrreeeeee!! So torturous!! I have never in my life felt this kind of pain!  There has to be another treatment that is not going to cause this much pain!  Dying."


"It has helped with anxiety so much but it made me space out a lot so we had to reduce the dose, but it does work."


"Infected Sebaceous Cyst: Needed to take three regimens of Keflex. Used Floragen 3 as a probiotic. "


"I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 6 years with no issues. My pharmacy gave me this generic and I was not thrilled but decided to try it since it was covered by my plan. I started spotting as soon as I started the new pack and kept going through the month. I'm at the end of week three and have been using tampons because I was having enough breakthrough bleeding to require it. It's Friday, I'm supposed to start placebo pills Sunday and would usually start my period the following Tuesday. I've had breakthrough bleeding plus more for the whole month. This sucks!"


"Having been on almost every blood pressure lowering medicine over the past 7 years and had side effects with them all - ranging from extreme tiredness, depression, weight gain (probably due to tiredness), sleeping problems, etc. I have found Losartan to be quite good - as it does not make me tired or cause any other problems. In fact, it has helped with water retention.  I am a forty year old female whose high blood pressure is stress related - with highest blood pressure readings being around 190/120 (yep, quite high).  I take 100mg of Losartan and my blood pressure is now 140/90, hopefully will reduce further in time. I have no complaints about Losartan, just glad I do not feel constantly tired as with all other blood pressure medicines."


"About a year ago the gynacology doctors recommended the mirena to me because I was having heavy periods...got it done, wouldn't stop bleeding for 4 months went in to get it removed it was missing...one year later my bleeding still wouldn't stop, I get admitted every 2 to 3 weeks for blood transfusion..would not recommend it even to my worst enemy....my biggest regret ever!...now Iv been told the only way to fix me is to get a hysterectomy!..."


"I LOVE this product. I'm 27 and psoriasis just flared up for the first time ever! I hadn't seen a derm yet but was hoing to if this product didnt work. I used it 4x a day for about 2 weeks n it is gone!!! I ran out but will b getting more to keep applying so it stays away. It does burn a lil w open sores, but goes away quickly. The smell could b better but w these results, idc"


"I started the patch a month after having my daughter. I've been on it for about a year with no problems really. Occasionally it starts to peel off or irritates the skin but nothing crazy. I recommend it because it can be hard to remind yourself every day to take a pill. The patch is just a once a week reminder. The past month I've had issues with spotting and cramping like on my period which I've never experienced before while using Xulane. There can be some really scary reviews on here but everyone is different!! I would definitely recommend trying this type of BC to see what works for you."


"I have been using Nuvaring for two years. And I LOVE it. I don't have to think about it, very low hormones. Before I started using the ring I had terrible periods. I would be stuck at home for at least a day because my cramps were that awful. My periods would also last up to ten days. After I started it my periods became normal, five days long, and significantly less cramps. I gained maybe 10 pounds, and two cup sizes."


"I wish that I would have started this drug much sooner. I was very reluctant to take an antidepressant mainly due to stigma. I felt immediate relief from anxiety, paranoia, irritability, hopeless, helpless, suicidal, depressed and feeling out of control. I have had major symptoms for several years premenstrual and it has been premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I am very thankful for Zoloft and I don't ever want to be caught without it it is the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time. The side effects are very minimal my side effects would include just being a little tired some gas and Mild diarrhea at times. I would trade this any day for the problems that I was having before I started taking Zoloft it truly has saved my life ."


"I have been a Crohn's sufferer since I was 18, I'm now 47. I have had two bowel resections, multiple blockages and bowel symptoms that left me house bound for days at a time. I have been on Prednisone so much that I have maxed out the lifetime exposure limit, have tried Methotrexate (nausea+++), Pentasa (no change) and Remicade (serum reaction). I have been on Humira now for over 8 years and aside from a few minor flare-ups, I have a life back. Bless all of the programs and benefit companies that have recognized that this medication has restored some people to being productive once again."


"I am 5'3" and have Chronic Fatigue and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and both of these caused me to gain up to 175 pounds. I have tried everything to lose weight and none helped. I started taking phentermine 4-2008 and I have gone from a size 12 to a size 9/10 in 2 months. It does give you a little energy boost, I noticed I wasn't craving sweets anymore and I wasn't binge eating. The phentermine gave me control over what I eat and when. I now make healthier choices, because I want to be healthy. There have been days that I would forget to eat, that is how strong phentermine is. At first I had a hard time with the side effects of headaches, stomach pain and dizziness, so I only took a 1/2 of pill. Good Luck."


"Works best for me with zetia."


"I am 55 years old. Began taking Cialis at doctors suggestion due to side effects with Viagra (smashing headaches). Began taking 10mg Cialis every three days and found it to be very effective with no side effects. After six days of use I developed lower back pain and transient pains/aches in lower legs. Tolerable; but not fun to deal with. May switch from continuous use to use as needed or switch to the 5mg dosage. Very effective."


"Got on this pill about 4 months ago. Everything is fine normal. I'm also on anti depressants for anxiety and it didn't do anything to make my anxiety worse. The only thing that I do not like is the weight gain it makes me eat way more than I do I feel like I'm pregnant. I don't mine the bigger boobs but the weight gain sucks."


"Worked excellent, restored me to my old happy self. After about 2 years being on 100mg/day, started to "poop out." Don't let that scare you away from it, though. It's worth trying."


"I just finished my first month on Alesse and I am SO pleased! I used to avoid hormonal birth control because of reccurent yeast infections and weight gain, but with Alesse, I have no problems! I feel like myself again! It's hard for me to review the contraceptive effect on me since I was told to wait a whole month before having "unprotected" sex. But so far, so good. No weight gain, no infections, no nausea, but sometimes my breasts hurt a little. They didn't get any bigger though. I sometimes feel crampy in the last few days of the month, but nothing severe. I take it with no stop in between, because my PMS and period were too intense. I'm in love with Alesse!"


"I tried several different birth control medicines before my doctor prescribed Minastrin 24 Fe. On other pills (particularly Viorele) I felt very emotional and uncomfortable. While taking Minastrin, I feel like myself and I have had no weight gain. Minastrin has caused me to stop getting my period, but my doctor says that this is completely normal."


"Been taking venlafaxine XR for 15 years and all in all found it did what it was intended for, which was to suppress my depression and assist me in coping with life. My dosage amount fluctuated through the years, from 75mg up to 225mg(I think) and I had very little trouble with it, except when I forgot to refill it. I will say that the side effects of stopping Effexor are horrific and a contributor to why I stayed on it for so long. I'm off it now and I don't know if I'll ever get back on it again because I CANNOT go through the withdrawal feeling again, at least not with my sanity intact."


"As I assume most of these reviews are written on the toilet so is mine.   The whole day wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.   Moviprep tastes like salty lemonade.   I chilled it, added crystal light lemonade flavor, drank it with a straw and chased it with water.  Started working in about 45 minutes."


"I've been taking Tri-Previfem for a month now. On the second day of being on the pill I experienced constant nausea & stomach pain. When I got my period the cramping became severe almost unbearable & my period last for 2 weeks. This pill is not for me."


"Saw the doctor today.  Waiting for blood test results.  I had asked the doctor to give my Byetta since Januvia didn't appear to be really helping getting my A1C and I had gone of Actos.  Went through 3 months and not happy with the lumps and scarring that I got from the injections.  Didn't have this issue with Byetta since the needles were thinner and the amount of fluid less.  Yes, the once a week injections are convenient and I lost about 15 lbs since using the medication."


"For the last few months, I have suffered from debilitating menstrual migraines. I got a bad one today, and I was literally crawling on the floor in agony. I had throbbing pain and nausea. This knocked it out completely in about 45 minutes. No pain med I've tried has worked like this."


"I started having serious health problems that I didn't think could be related to anxiety, but it was. I went 6 weeks without being able to drive, had extreme weakness to the point on one occasion I didn't think I could get out of bed. I had an MRI on my brain, an echo on my heart, blood work,  and two tests at the dr to make sure I hadn't or wasn't having a heart attack. Spent hundreds seeing a natural dr as well. I tried Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, and one more and it wasn't until I took Fetzima that I actually had a real results. I did have increased energy at first starting at 20mg, but I loved waking up with energy. I went to 40mg and did great for 3-4 months. Tonight is my first increase to 60mg. This drug has made a huge difference for me."


"Although the medication did effectively treat my cancer the side effects were so severe that I decided to discontinue use of the drug and try an alternate treatment. Skin rash started on my hands initially and spread to my entire body causing severe itching and scratching which led to something looking like opened bug bites all over. Severe gum irritation described by my dental hygienist as your gums are flapping in the wind, also red swollen gums which caused me to be unable to eat anything not soft. Lost 10 lbs the first two months. Also projectile vomiting, diahrea and nausea. At three months I found it had made me diabetic and raised my triglycerides to over 500.  That's when I opted to stop treatment."


"This review is about to be so long but I really really want to ease the minds of people in the same boat as I was. 1.) EVERYTHING WILL BE OK REMEMBER THAT.
2.) I had unprotected sex during ovulation and my partner pulled out not finishing in me. I then got plan b and took it 6 hours after. I felt very tired that day and naeusous. About 5 days later I experienced bloating, frequent urination, cramping, and brownish/red bleeding for 5 days. However this was not my period it was the withdrawal bleeding from the pill. I continued to have these symptoms and waited for my June 26th period which never came. I became very nervous because I was starting to develop almost all the symptoms of early pregnancy. I had frequent urination, thought I had morning sickness - but it worked - Don't  panic"


"My 9 year old son got influenza A in spite of receiving his annual flu shot. His temp was up to 104 when we took him in - very scary. He took the Tamiflu right before bed and woke up with a reduced fever! It doesn't work like an antibiotic where he started getting better fast but I definately feel like it is helping. I was a little nervous because no one in our family has ever used it before but I'm grateful we did. He took with a few crackers and his stomach was fine with it."


"Microscopic Colitis: I have already given a review on this medication but I wanted to add important information. The one thing I found is the generic Budesonide (bright pink capsule) does not work well as the brand Entocort EC. (gray and pink) I take whatever the pharmacy has available. This last refill was generic and while on it, all my symptoms returned. Saw my gastro and told him about it and he said he had one other patient that stated generic didn't work for them. He prescribed brand only and it works like a charm. If you find you aren't doing well on the generic, ask for brand. See if it makes a difference. It did for me."


"this treatment is the best to kill any bacteria in your body

I treat my urine tract infection,star taking the medication 5 pm

by 9 pm was a relieve no pain at all and be able to urinate with out any discomfort always you have to fallow up all step after this treatment ,drink lots of water,very happy no upset stomach at all."


"I'm 23, male. I take 20 mg Celexa. I really see improvement with my everyday life. I'm less likely to snap out. Keeps me on edge but was thinking of raising the dose. I'm also taking ibuprofen."


"Am mid-way into my 2nd week and wanted to report preliminary results.  I am a comfort/stress eater who gained 70 pounds in 2 years.  No side effects, other than being tired at the end of the day (which is not a reported side effect, so maybe from change in diet).   I am still hungry, but it is easier to turn away from night-time snacks.  I was able to turn away from my children's Halloween candy, which was a first.  I didn't want a cafe con leche this morning (sweet/milk) - which is my constant craving.  I've had modest weight loss, which I started about 2 weeks prior to the Contrave, for a total of 15 pounds in just under 4 weeks. Starting weight 201, 5'5" female, mid 40's. Time will tell, so far so good."


"My boyfriend&me had protected sex (spermicide-condom) on May 22-which was the day after my fertility week (May 15-May 21[ovulation=May 20]). We checked the condom multiple times after each position switch. We always pull out even with the condom on before he comes, because of the scare of condom breaking inside when he ejaculates.As he was ejaculating,we notice the sperm shoot across the bed! The condom seemed intact the entire time&this freaked both of us. We did not know if the condom broke inside me or at that exact moment.We were like 90% sure it happen as he was ejaculating because there was not enough room inside the condom for the sperm. So, within 2 hours I left&bought myself Plan B. It worked-period came on time (12 days later)"


"I felt fine the 1st day on this drug eating anything and everything that sounded good. Then the 2nd day I took it again in the morning and was fine for a few hour then boom. I went downhill finally it was time for supper I tried soup it was ok then I ate yogurt and took the medicine. Well my body didn't like that I got to spend my time emptying my stomach after that. Now onto the 3rd day I'm really not sure if I want to take it 2 times a day."


"The taste is awful!  It is gentle and effective at the expense of tasting just like the stuff it eliminates"


"I was taking carvedilol 3.125mg bid and it stopped working shortly after starting a stressful job and a death in my family. I wasn't able to get it under control so my cardiologist started me on bystolic 10mg qd. I was pleased with it's quick results bringing my BP down to the normal range. Now I have realized that I am tired all the time, I have no sex drive and I don't really care about much of anything. I can sleep all day on my days off. I have gained 30 lbs over the last year! I got my old rx filled today for the carvedilol and along with diet and exercise, I'm hoping to get back to my old self again. I can't deal with the fatigue anymore. Not to mention the price of $60 per month."


"Started taking these at lunch time. By night time, the pain I previously experienced in my urinary tract had subsided a great deal. Had me cured by the end of my treatment. Didn't experience any headaches or stomach problems. Top notch."


"Xanax has helped me so much with handling all of lifes problems and with helping me with my children! I have two boys that mean the world to me. I lost my job after 18 years and everything got on my nerves. I went to my doctor and told him I was trying to sleep alot cause I could not handle lossing my job and worrying about how I was gonna pay my bills if I couldnt draw my employment. I would know that in 6 days,so I went on Xanax and it changed my life! I NOW KNOW I'LL MAKE IT NO MATTER WHAT - JUST TRY IT!"


"I started taking Victoza on 10/18/2014 & the 1st 4 days I was fine I had a slight headache, the 5th day I was dizzy & vomiting I couldn't keep water down. I skipped a day of Victoza & started back the following day, no problems  I'm down 7lbs."


"My  daughter has been on abilify  for  2 weeks. She suffered the first week with constant throwing up but after about 7 days the side effects went away. She is now stable and happy. Has learned to follow and does not go in to tantrums as she used to. She also seems to be more alert as think she is sleeping better  she also now has the ability to think rationally. I truly believe this is what we needed to allow our whole family to have our lives back. Thank you makers of abilify."


"No affect at all on me. Belsomra does not put me to sleep or even relax me. I never had a med the didn't do anything. Get something else. I was up all night and exhausted all day. It is useless. I tossed and turned in the dark trying to relax. Nada"


"Works very well! Cleared up my skin, didn't gain any weight, and not pregnant. Did not get any side effects."


"I just started taking phentermine 37.5 on April 10th 09 and have already lost 4 lbs, without any exercise. I started at 134 lbs which may not sound like much to worry about but I am only 4'9.5". I went to a plastic surgeon and to find I am 28.2 lbs overweight. I have three children the youngest being 5 months old. Note I was a smoker for 10 years and I quit cold turkey on April 5th. I also only allow myself one can of regular coke a day compared to the 6 or maybe even 7 I was having before. I really hate water so I mix those crystal light iced tea packets in only 5 calories and it is actually good. But I have noticed with the phentermine I do get very irritable and edgy. Also I feel great the day after so I will skip every other day."


"I've had problems for so long I've been bounced around from doctor to doctor and they all told me I was making it up that I didn't really have all these bowel problems. My pediatrician told me and my mom I was faking to get attention. I've had 4 colonoscopies and an endoscopy in 2 years. Since this medicine I have never felt better. I still have a lot of issues but this medication is the best thing I have found and the relief is astonishing."


"The best SSRI, beat depression, anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder."


"I went in to the doctor for acid reflux and he prescribed me protonix and after two days it helped but shortly after that I started getting worse acid reflux along with very uncomfortable  chest pains with a ton of anxiety thinking I was having a heart attack so bad that I had to take a stress test and EKG to rule out any heart problems in addition to quitting the drug I had stomach pain headaches and ringing in the ears. However I did stop cold turkey but I was only on it for short time I'm at 39-year-old male in decent shape. I would not recommend this to anyone I know. I'm sure this medication works great for some people but definitely not for me."


"I have been effected by this virus all my life.    I found Abreva and the blisters disappear within a few days of treatment.  I have no side effects from this cream.  The key is to catch it early and treat the blister(s) promptly and as prescribed.  I am grateful for Abreva being an over the counter medication."


"I have been taking generic Keppra 4 times a day for over 4 years.  I was placed on this medication by a neurologist to help with tremor and undiagnosed illness (possibly MS).  I have experienced much less tremor.  I also began taking gabapentin about 2 years ago.  I take 600mg daily.  Between the two medications as well as a weekly injection of steroids I have found relief from my tremor as well as my undiagnosed "flare ups".  I also have INO and I have many other symptoms of MS but because I have not been able to have a neurologist diagnose my symptoms I remain undiagnosed.  I have had 6 MRI's and 5 CT scans.  I have seen 8 neurologists and I have also had many other diagnostic tests. I hope to someday have a diagnosis."


"I have had chronic sinusitis for the better part of 10 years now off and on. It really gets bad as spring changes over to summer as well as summer over to fall. I have taken several different antibiotics over the years and the sinusitis keeps coming back stronger the next year. So I just started the 7 day ZPak yesterday for the first time and just took the second days dosage. Much like most of the other reviews on this site, I am experiencing some minor diarrhea as well as flatulence. Which, in my opinion, can be a deadly combination for a new pair of white boxer briefs!

I have not noticed any other side effect as of yet but again I am only on the second day. I will tell you that I am feeling much livelier right now and gained motivation"


"My dr started me on 20mg once daily.After a few months with no improvement he raised it to 40mgs.After about 2 weeks at this dose the depression subsided some and also my anxiety as I found myself reaching for my Xanax less and less.However after about 5-6 months the depression and anxiety came back and my doctor told me raising the dose would do no good.So,that being said, if you need an anti-deppressant to get you through a rough patch in your life (divorce,holidays,death of a loved one) this seemed to work very well just after about 6 months I was right back where I started.

*Another benefit is it's generic (Fluoxetine) in many stores is only $4 for a month supply.Ive seen some Anti-deppressants cost well over $100 for a month*"


"My wife (74) has been taking Namenda since the first diagnosis of Alzheimers two years ago.  She also takes any supplement that promises to help retain or improve memory.  Her memory has stayed about the same or gotten a little worse in that time. She has also taken Aricept during the same period."


"I was on Cymbalta and had side effects so I changed to Pristiq and within a few weeks I was finally feeling normal. I had some major mood swings so my doctor upped the dose to 100mg. I have been on it for a few months now and it seems to be doing great. It's amazing what a little pill will do."


"I have had really bad anxiety and panic attacks because I'm a bad hypochondriac and am very afraid of vomiting. So I was prescribed it and I have 1/2 a pill whenever I need it, and it takes it away and I enjoy the rest of my day instead of freaking out. I have had NO SIDE EFFECTS."


"I took a 25 mg dose of this medicine for the first time last night. It took about 45 minutes to an hour before it made me sleepy although I was calmed within 15 minutes. I slept great-I usually wake up around 2am every night, but not last night. I slept until 9:30am which is rare for me. I did feel like a zombie for about an hour or 2 after I got up, but I didn't have any panic feelings during the day. I didn't feel 100% normal, but this was a pretty good start. I'm hopeful that the sleepiness is a transient effect and that some of my other physical symptoms go completely away."


"While it helped with urgency it causes dry mouth and worse a loss of sexual appetite."


"I was on drug for about 6 months and had no side effects besides pain during drug injection.  My plaque psoriasis completely disappeared within the first 6 weeks and continued to do so until about 6 months later.  No rhyme or reason, but it stopped working and I'm in the WORST FLAIR of my life.  I've never had any issues with my hands or feet, but now that's my troubled spots.  My hands and feet are severely dry and peeling and the pain and itch is horrific.  I'm using all the medicated ointments and creams that my Dermatologist has prescribed, along with a new biologic Stelara, and nothing has stopped the flair.  I wrap my feet in Saran Wrap to help hold the moisture and medication in, and do the same with my hands with gloves.  HELP!"


"I love this stuff. I have been on it for 6 days and have lost 4 pounds easily. My night cravings are entirely gone and my stomach gets full with about 1/4 amount I usually consume at one sitting.  The only drawback is in the morning I get queasy, if I eat about a half cup of dry Cheerios slowly with a cup of tea it settles.   I know it is early in my journey, but so far so good!! Awesome to finally have me be in control not food controlling me after 40 years.  Feel like I am out of prison, pretty powerful experience."


"Overall, I like this pill. It took a few months for my body to get used to it. The first 3-4 months I had random spotting and a period right in the middle of the pack. I did gain about 10 lbs but i also haven't been eating as well or running as much so that is to be expected.  My breasts were tender for a few months but that's gone away recently.  And my periods/cramps have gone from unbearable to almost nonexistent.. so much better. The only major, major side effect I've seen is my sex drive go way down and some mood swings. But I would rather have these effects than an unwanted pregnancy.  Give it a shot for at least 3 months before you give up on this, ladies!  It will get better and be worth it in the end."


"My experience has been great and horrifying. Now, to explain myself I will list the effects I've had so far. I am on my fourth dose of my 40 mg vyvanse. I was put on 40 because my doctor said it would be okay. ADVERSE EFFECTS: *Severe* Just today on my fourth dose I had experienced something new my entire life..sitting on my chair I lifted my leg and was overcome with the feeling of it, "falling asleep". It was overcome abruptly out of nowhere with the feeling of tiny bubbles in the numbers of thousands racing from my foot up to my thigh without any of these, in idea of description bubbles popping. Until it reached my thigh when it was immediately somewhat relieved...skip to later today and my leg was paralyzed almost"


"Everything was good with this BC except for the fact that it ruined my skin. I stopped after a year, took a break and started it again and both times I had terrible outbreaks all over my chest and face even though I had never had acne before. I've gone off it a second time and my skin still has not recovered. I wish it didn't do that because I would like to stay on it but I can't handle the acne it gives me. I never got mood swings or any other bad side effects while on it."


"For 9 months I was taking Gleevac for ALL (Acute Lymphoblasic Leukemia) and it was causing me to have at least one blood transfusion a week.  I started taking Sprycel and a year later I have not had to have one blood transfusion."


"It did not work, wasted over 200 dollars on this. Will stick with Levitra and Cialis as they both work great just expensive"


"July 31, 2006 diagnosis: stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer.  I began with a clinical trial of Avastin in January '07.  I continue to have the infusion every three weeks; my cancer is in remission.  Normal life expectancy for this stage cancer is 2 to 5 years.  God has blessed me so far with 2 1/4 yrs of wonderful life and no reason to think it won't continue much longer than 5.  I'm half way there and God has been so good to make the doctors and medication available to me. I recommend it to anyone. Side effects are minimal for me."


"This is wonderful!! I have psoriasis on all of my joints.. elbows, knees, and ankles. I have used ointments for years and most recently they have not been helpful, in fact the plaques have spread to my wrist and sides of my feet. I was just prescribed Cordran Tape a week ago, and after only 4 applications, it's almost completely clear. I am floored by the success of this tape, and although it's the most expensive medication I've used so far ($50 after insurance), I will continue to use it for any future flare ups."


"I took Cymbalta for 3 months and it worked great. Then over time it didn't work as well and I quit. I hit rock bottom."


"I switched to this birth control from Yaz because my periods (although controlled) were still 7-8 days long and heavy. When I switched to this pill I gained about 8 lbs, was intensely moody, and noticed my hair and skin became extremely oily. I was on it for 4 months and it only got worse. I had breakthrough bleeding the entire time. The second month I was on it I bled for 2 weeks straight. It was absolutely miserable. I know birth control affects every person differently, but this was AWFUL for me."


"I've used this medicine for about a week along with a prescribed antibiotic, I have noticed that it is significantly cleared up. But it's making my face look sunburnt without being in the sun too much. My neck also recently just got really red from halfway up. Overall it's been decent, peeling, redness, and occasional burning. But, so far I like the results."


"This created very messy and uncomfortable stools, but any relief was better than none at all. But I am a college student who works out regularly and eats pretty decently. I had 2 allergic reactions and the second one was a lot worse. My lips and tongue were numb, my chest was tight, and I had to run across campus to find Benadryl. It wasn't fun. NEVER ignore signs of a possible reaction."


"Started on 0.6mg Saxenda on May 8th weighing 342 lbs. After 7 days I upped the dosage to 0.9mg for 5 days then to 1.2mg. I have had no side affects from the medication aside from a very slight headache the first few days, could be unrelated since its allergy season right now. Today is May 23rd and I've lost 15lbs. I am using this drug along with a low carb diet. My constant hunger was gone starting with the first injection. Is this how normal people feel? I don't wake up hungry, I don't go through my day always feeling hungry, I don't go to bed hungry. It's so liberating to be able to focus on other things instead of constantly being consumed by hunger."


"I have severe tinnitus after having IV antibiotics administered for a systemic infection. This was in 2014. The hair cells in my ears were damaged by the antibiotics. It was impossible to sleep. Tinnitus is constant and loud. I take 3 mg before bedtime so I can fall asleep. The tinnitus wakes me up in the morning. I use hearing aids designed for tinnitus and they help. Unfortunately, the xanax is causing memory loss and changes in my cognition. I want to get off of it. I live alone and am 61 years old. I need to have my brain completely functional to enter old age independently. I'm considering medical detox but have no idea how I will go on with the intense sound in my head. Anyone else detox and find an alternative?"


"I'm on my 3rd day of taking this medication for bacterial vaginitis and the smell is COMPLETELY gone. I was dealing with THE SMELL for like 2 weeks because I thought I was just 'off' down there.  My only side effect is dark pee.
Good luck women, I FEEL YOUR PAIN."


"I've been diagnosed with costochondritis for 2 yrs now. I have other joint issues, along with military neck and tendinitis. Nothing has worked as well and effectively as Aleve. I take anywhere from 220-500mg when needed. All my aches and pains subside and I can move about freely. Even with nerve damage. I am so thankful for Aleve!"


"I have used Prevacid before and it does work well. Years ago, a doctor told me that they wanted to put a scope down my throat. I am not really in to that idea so it has not been done. I do not use this often due to the price increase but I would recommend it."


"My tremors were getting worse and worse so I went to my Doctor. She thought I had Parkinson's and referred me to a neurologist. The appointment came through about 4 months later. The Neurologist diagnosed Essential Tremor and prescribed Half Inderal 80g once a day. After taking the meds I felt so much better, I still get the shakes but nowhere near so bad. My muscles are stiff though and it's causing me problems walking far and my neck and shoulders hurt too. I'll have to ask whether Inderal is the cause at my next appointment. All in all it's been great, I especially notice the difference when cooking or eating a meal or drinking from a glass, I don't spill as much now and it's less embarrassing when in a restaurant."


"500mg 2x day for 7 days. Im on day 7 today and I haven't had any weird side effects besides a weird taste in my mouth and my anxiety has been a little crazy. I ended up getting horrible diarrhea and nausea so bad that I had to sit for hours contemplating if I wanted to take my last pill tonight. I did and it seems as if the diarrhea started back up. Thank goodness its my last day! Blechhhhh"


"Well for background I was on pain medication for over 13 years. I have had 2 spinal surgeries during this time. I was fed up with narcotics and even though I had prescriptions for everything my life was no longer manageable. I found a Dr to get me off every controlled medicine and I started on buprenorphine. While my fear of continued pain was real I found this medication to be very effective. I never realized how much it helped until I ran out. Thinking I would be okay over the weekend I did not get it filled. I developed severe pain in lower back and I could not sleep at all.  On Sunday I managed to get to the pharmacy. After 2 doses my pain went to a 3/10 down from 9/10 pain level. If you are considering getting off narcotics try this."


"I am 14 years old. I went in for a physical, and had a routine blood panel. How did I get the results? An ambulance showed up at my house suddenly to take me to the hospital immediately. Apparently, my iron was 9, which is almost fatally low. I was given Venofer when I got there, and it helped tremendously. It quite possibly saved my life. I owe my life to Venofer."


"About like

Placebo"


"My Rheumatologist prescribed the Voltaren Gel to use with my oral Meloxicam and the combination is tremendous. I am having very little pain for the first time in 3 years in my knees and feet. On a recent business trip to Germany I purchased 4 large tubes of a higher strength (over the counter in Germany and Switzerland) for 1/3 the price of my copay. A very effective drug for me."


"I have been on Femara for 5 years and have not had any reaction.  Very pleased with this medicine."


"My first time use of Propofol for my combination endoscopy and gastrostomy this mornnig. It was administered by an Anesthesia Nurse (not and Anesthesiologist, which was my first) in the surgery room with my Gastroenterologist present. They said they also will provide some lidocane??? to prevent side effects, which they did. She had explained that I would fall asleep within less than 10-15 seconds and would wake up not being groggy. And it was just like that. I did not even count to 10 (last thing I do remember) waking up ready to go home. Not like the old demoral or whatever they used to give you. I left less then 90 minutes after beginning the procedures
So, yes, I gave it a 10."


"I just started Lunesta last night 3 mg and it did nothing for me so I took another and nothing. I have tried ambien 10mg and trazadone 500mg a and I felt like I had a cup of sugar my insomnia is really bad. Does anyone know of a really good sleep pill that actually works?"


"I got the implanon October 2016 and have had it now for 3 months. The first 2 months I had light bleeding from my period for 3 days and no period for the rest of that month. This month I have bled nonstop for the whole month and its bright red signaling no sign of going off. Implanon seemed to be a good idea at first but with these periods I cannot do it anymore. I'm having it taken out this week."


"I started Bontril 6/17/13, the first week I lost 10lbs, I eat clean, I exercise 3 days a week. Side effects insomnia: only if I don't exercise, decrease appetite, increase energy, slight headache, haven't lost any additional pounds."


"RRMS for 3 years. Started Amphrya 1 week ago and saw results on first day! Truly amazing that I can feel all the way to my toes in my weaker left leg! I am so encouraged by this pill. I have had absolutely no side effects. Still only taking 1 pill per day since its been only 1 week. Please give this a try, I wish I would have and not waited 3 years."


"I am having (for me), serious side effects from this medicine and I have only been taking it for 30 days.  Fatique, flushing, fluid retention and severe swelling of the feet and ankles.  I go back to the doctor today. My doctor gave it to me for high blood pressure."


"For all you girls worrying out there, take a deep breath and calm down. I'm 320 pounds and I had unprotected sex although I was on the pill, I was in my ovulation danger zone.. I took the pill within the last 24 hours (which I don't recommend. Take it as soon as you can) it took 2 weeks for my period to arrive. Needless to say it was the best $53 I've ever spent. Learn from your mistakes ladies"


"The generic medication does not help my hot flashes. I'm taking 37.5mg twice daily.  The brand worked so much better, but the price went up dramatically. I really don't want to up the dosage, but these hot flashes are happening too often now.  So, it's higher dose or live through the hot flashes. Hot flashes will not win."


"I've been on it for 5 years and my life is a lot different then it would have been without it!"


"I had bad abdominal pain under my naval and sharp dull pains in my pelvic area for what seems a good week or so. Took a UTI test at home, and came back as a possible UTI. Called the doctor and she put me on Cipro, all in all. After the first day, I was having chest pains in my left side and in the middle that were constant and wouldn't go away. I switched from Cipro to Sulfamethoxazole, and all my symptoms from before taking any medication have gone away. Except I've been peeing a WHOLE lot, I've had a loss in appetite, and I have felt nauseous and bad headaches. Little to no back pain, unless the usual, sitting for too long."


"I started on Trintellix at 10mg and after about 6 weeks I feel like I still didn't feel it was helping a whole lot. A few weeks ago my Primary Dr said to up it to 20mg then and that same week I found out when getting my annual through the OBGYN that my Thyroid medication that I've been on for a good 5 years had to be increased from 25Mcg to 50Mcg about 2 weeks ago. The primary Dr was going to take over and check how the thyroid medication was doing in about 8 weeks. So I'm not sure if having this thyroid problem right now, if that's way the Trintellix hasn't really kicked in for me or not? They say if your having thyroid problems it can cause depression and anxiety. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see?"


"When I use Metro-gel, I don't have to worry about bacterial vaginitis coming back easily. It helps faster, and it's very effective. When I take the oral medicines, bacterial vaginitis recurs within weeks. That can be a major pain.  The only bummer is the yeast infection that can sometimes occur."


"60mg very effective for psychotic symptoms. Zero weight gain. However, had to come off due to bad side effects. Quite severe depersonalization and jaw pain. As I understand it, this is quite a rare side effect so I wouldn't let it dissuade you. Reactions to antipsychotics are very much on an individual basis. Would recommend despite my personal side effects."


"I had terrible anxiety and fear of flying ...each 1 hour flight to Europe was  a major battle..i would down Brandy to cope.   But I knew I would not be able to cope and needed professional help for the 24 hour flight to Australia ...   I was proscribed Propranolol 40 mg & did not think they would work,  however I was amazed .. I was dead calm through out the flight and Never had any of the crippling anxiety or panic attacks that had been devastating my life for the previous two years .. I am amazed by this medicine ... thankyou to the manufacturer.."


"I took 50mg of Cozaar, 1 x daily for 5 days, had bad dreams, lightheaded and dizzy, and started having nosebleeds. I stopped taking it and I'm calling doctor today."


"I can't accurately vouch for this drug if it works or not. But I've had immense side effects and possible allergic reactions. I've had chills, dizziness, and itching on my hands and feet which I are most likely an allergic reaction. And I've had constipation every day, diarrhea, major irritability, and strong desires to cry for no reason"


"Really does help with anxiety/panic attacks, but has nasty withdrawals. I was prescribed .5mg 3x a day, and whenever I moved, my new doctor stopped prescribing me them, pretty much forcing me to quit cold turkey. Worst month of my life, and it only exacerbated my anxiety in the end."


"I have been on this medication for about a month and I have terrible night sweats where I wake up in the middle of the night dripping in sweat and my sheets are soaked. Ive had moodiness and increased anxiety."


"For bowel prep this worked wonderfully. Took the split dose method at 8pm and 3am for an early morning procedure. 1st dose chased with 24oz of water and 16 more oz within the hour and I was having bowel movements by 45 minutes. I did have to use Vaseline on my second dose as my rear was in a lot of pain. The trick is to eat light for the 2 days prior and a clear liquid diet 1 day before. Don't forget to pound those fluids! I felt really full/bloated but it made the process go by much faster. Bowels completely clear by 5am.
Doc said procedure was good and bowls clean. No diarrhea afterwards and was able to eat a sandwich after with no problems.
Highly recommend!!"


"Worked great!"


"I am twenty years old and have been on birth control since I was 15. I have been on Tri-Cyclen, Yaz, Alesse, Depo-provera and Mirena! In five years, I was desperate to find something that worked for me. I had symptoms from weight gain, mood swings, acne, debilitating cramps, and even serious depression. Trying Nuva-ring was my last hope. I LOVE IT! It has not given me any mood swings, it has BOOSTED my sex drive! My periods are ridiculously light, 2 days long, and I have no cramps or PMS. Amazing. I know every girl's body is different but I totally recommend Nuva-ring!"


"Week three after Vivitrol. Still having severe insomnia, goose bumps, depression,lack of energy and weakness. It did curb my desire for cigarettes but because I feel so horrible for so long I am craving a fix.  I'm only on the fence with this injection."


"Caution: this medication is highly effective for almost every anxiety disorder that exists, somewhat TOO helpful which is how it's easy to abuse it; but doing so will be life devastating. Using this drug responsibly at a reasonable dosage is highly effective managing anxiety disorders and I testify that it compliments antidepressants very well. Daily users need to be proven the benefits outweigh the risks. Taken daily for 5  years, still as effective and no need to 'up my dosage'."


"I experienced severe nerve pain following a second bout of shingles less than 3 months apart. During a 2 year period my doctors tried me on regular Gabapentin in combination with other medications - all with severe side effects and no relief from the constant pain and lack of a good night sleep.  I gained over 50 lbs as well.  My neurologist prescribed Horizant twice a day and my life changed almost over night!  I choose not to take it in combination with anything else other than 800 mg Ibuprofen when needed because concerns of past side effects. Eventhough my nerve pain has continued two years later and another bout of shingles I have been able to manage the pain with Horizant."


"I've been on many anti-depressants. I experienced a few side effects from this one. The major one I experienced was the headaches. However within less than 1 week the side effects were gone. I also experienced night sweats in the first few weeks. This has stopped me from crying a lot which is good."


"Morphine and Dilaudid didn't touch the pain I had while in the hospital for 3 days with a severe headache -- one dose of Toradol and I was instantly pain free! Was thrilled to take it for the prescribed 7 days. I was diagnosed with a 9mm Chiari 1 Malfomation and have yet to find anything close to Toradol to relieve my worse than migraine headaches! -- unfortunately, I was told taking it long term would be very dangerous!  "


"Was on Lo Loestrin till I changed insurance and they are making me take this new birth control pill. I loved the one I was one it helped a lot with easing my menstrual cycle. Now that I've taken this. I feel like I want to be sick almost every night and my acne is terrible.  My breast have never been this tender. I absolutely hate this product! Calling my doctor for something else especially after they said it was going to be almost the same. She described it like I was taking advil but now I have to take Tylenol. Well just like with Tylenol I can't take it."


"So I have been taking contrave for over a month and have lost ~16 lbs so far. I used to suffer from control issues. I could never have one slice of pizza it was always 4+ Not just 1 taco, but a taco dinner.. I would try to abstain from eating junk food or high fatty foods only to be dreaming about them at night waking up and thinking I actually ate these things in the morning, when I woke up it would only make my cravings exponentially worse. After taking contrave within the first week that need to keep overeating went away! I still have about 60 more pounds to go and I can't see myself doing it without contrave. I am even a part of the Scale Down weight loss program And I highly recommend it! Only if you can  mentally handle weighing daily"


"I have been trying to get my extra weight off for years.  Belviq has given me the extra will power that I need to stop snacking or having second helpings. In my opinion it helps you change your eating habits to what I would consider normal. "


"You will read all the bad things about Accutane, but the bottom line is IT WORKS! I had horrible painful acne in my early 20's, that lasted through my 30's. It was depressing, I avoided picture taking all together. Yes the side effects can be bothersome, but it is temporary and if you plan ahead and purchase a tub of Aquaphor you can deal with it. "


"Cancer returned (metastasized) in abdomen Sept 2011. I ended up in hospital, first parenthesis withdrew 10 liters of abdominal fluid. Given 5 months maximum to live. It is now April 2012. Zelboraf has extended and saved my life.
I've been told by specialist in Denver (university of Colorado hospital) that in Europe 42 month life extension has been documented at present time. By dosing with 2 x 240mg pills twice a day! I'd be dead if not for Zelboraf! "


"Armour thyroid gave back my happy life."


"I'm 25 years old,and I have always had painful heavy periods for as long as I can remember and after I had my first child (C-section ) my hormones were so messed up, I was hemorrhaging and ended up in the hospital. I tried every kind of birth control you can think of. Mirena was my last choice, since they wouldn't give me a hysterectomy because of my age. The procedure was the most painful experience. I guess since I haven't had intercourse in over a year, and didn't have a vaginal birth, my cervix has never been dilated. After 4 times trying to put the Mirena in, It was in. First day was absolutely terrible. But after that it was okay. Light spotting occasionally. Would recommend this to women who have had a vaginal birth."


"After taking this medication for approximately three weeks, I began to have daily migraines (usually I get them only once per months). I had migraines for 10 straight days before I went to my chiropracter and discussed what could be causing them. He suggested I stop the Omnaris for three or four days and see if it helped. Within 48 hours, my migraines ceased completely. Although I liked the fact that my nose didn't bleed with Omnaris (unlike all the other nasal sprays I have been on), the migraines were a worse side effect than the chronic sinus congestion."


"I have had 3 of my toenails in BAD shape for years.

After 5 yrs or so my right big toenail was 75% infected.

I could slide a toothpick in it about3/4 of an inch! I've tried

Several home remedies, tea tree oil and other over the counter meds and no improvement. My mom had this ciclopirox nail lacquer that she barely used and gave it to me. I figured what's the harm. I took a picture after a month with some improvement. It's been about 4 months and I am SOOO happy with the progress!!! Before I had 75% infected hollow nail. Now I have 25% infected. It has grown in nice and pink and the nail is no longer hollow :)

I have not used it every day. I use it like 3 -4 times a week.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS SO FAR!"


"This is my fourth month in Junel 1/20. I used to be on Gildess & was switched to this after it was discontinued. I have to take a low hormone birth control because all other birth controls have given me extreme sickness. This birth control has worked very well for me. Light periods which are regular and predictable. I don't think this birth control has made me gain weight and if anything my skin looks good. I just feel normal which is a good thing. I do have anxiety problems so it's hard to tell if the birth control has been effecting that. I do have to say I've had some constipation but don't know if it is related to the pill and also slightly lowered sex drive but again not 100% sure if that's related to the pill."


"I'm surprised to see any negative reviews, I guess everyone's body reacts differently and Abreva is no different.

It works for me. I've been using it for the past 6 years or more at the first sign I get, usually a tingle or tenderness on the lip. Even if a sore has already formed it seems to quickly stop it in its tracks. Definitely pricey, but the little bottle lasts me years. Love Abreva for doing what it's advertised to do!"


"Incredible stuff. I have severe panic disorder and bipolar disorder. Before I took it, I was getting worse and worse, hallucinating and not being able to chill out. I started on 600mg once a day. I clearly remember when I started it. It felt like I was surrounded by pillows when I moved around, in a good way. I feel "normal" now (no pillows, I promise!). I had a crazy rash that caused me to need prednisone, but I'm on Lamictal/Lexapro/Trileptal, so who knows what caused it!

I'm at 600mg/3x a day, so 1800 total. I have to take it at 8am / 1pm / 8pm on the dot or I feel like I'm losing it again. I wish there was something that would cover the entire day, but it's worth the trouble."


"I have been on these for 7 days and they haven't helped at all even though I have changed my eating habits."


"I've been taking Belviq for two years. Slowly I lost 30 pounds. I have continued to take this medication and the most important detail is that I have kept my weight loss off as Belviq Works perfectly for weight maintenance too.  (I can't tell you how many times, prior to Belviq, that I'd gained and lost this weight.) Very much helps  me with cravings and over eating."


"I had been wheezing and short of breath for 3 months without any relief.  I had been on the same inhalers for over 10 years and they were no longer effective.  I started anoro ellipta. I started noticing a change within 3 days.  I haven't needed my nebulizer or albuterol.inhaler.  I would recommend this medication to anyone with copd."


"This medicine has really helped with my bipolar. I take 300mg (slow release) every evening and it's really helped balance my moods and ease any depressive episodes. Only side effect is feeling like a zombie if I wake up too early, but it's all about taking the pill at the right time before you sleep. If anything I'm getting the best sleep I've ever had when taken properly."


"Frova works very well for me, and has been my go-to for 10  years.  Back in the day, different "triptans" worked okay for a couple of years, and then I had to switch to something different, as eventually they all lost their efficacy over time.  Not this. Frova is still working just as well today, as it did when I started using it 10  years ago."


"Didn't work for me. Felt pretty barfy and crummy first several days. Seemed to make me agitated. Only on it for a week; withdrawal was unpleasant. Just my experience, however."


"The worst medication I have ever taken.  Had high fever, aches, chills, sweats, dizziness and nausea from this drug.  I was sick for a week.  Never again."


"It was a horrible experience.  I had 4 hours of severe left side abdominal pain that radiated to my back. I felt like I was going to pass out when I stood up and had to stay in bed. "


"I started Contrave on Jan. 1 2017 and weighed in at 194lbs.  I talked to the doctor about it and decided to give it a try. It has now been 4 months and with exercising daily for 30 mins and eating somewhat more healthy ( I haven't changed my diet that much). I still can enjoy a juicy hamburger with my family at a restaurant. I am happy to report that I have lost 40lbs in just 4 months. This medication has been worth every penny and given me my life back to be able to enjoy my 4 kids!"


"As soon as I began taking Clarithromycin, it made me very nauseous. I tried removing the bitter outer coating but still c/o nausea and bloating with gas."


"I'm 18 and had very regular periods every month for 4 years and they stopped for no reason. Played the wait game & before I knew it 3 whole years has passed. 5 day 10mg provera challenge starting July 1st and on July 9th, 4 days after my last pill got my period. Not a terrible period for me like everyone else. A little heavy, mild cramping but my periods use to be worse. Also, does anybody know if it's true if my periods come back on their own after 3 provera cycles? Read that a few places but idk if it's true."


"Started phen 1 month ago at 202 pounds. I am now 184 pounds. I have about 36 more pounds to go. I eat 1000 to 1200 calories a day and I monitor my sugar, carbs, protein, fat and nutrition. I occasionaly take a 1 or 2 day break from phen and calorie counting so when I go off phen and counting calories I know how to control myself so the weight doesn't come back. I am learning a lot about true hunger and porton control. Phen is a small part of the big picture. It is helping me set myself up for lifelong healthy eating and lifestyle habits."


"I am taking this drug for pharyngitis. So far it has worked, well to be honest with you the main thing that helped my swelling was the GI cocktail they gave me at the hospital. So far this has helped in my opinion. I am experiencing what I believe to be a side effect of slight pain when I urinate."


"I'm bipolar II and this med works very well. The depression still comes and goes and I do feel kinda crappy somewhat often, but it is definitely not horrible and incapacitating like it was before. Also Lamictal has reduced my hypomania probably by half, and makes it barely noticeable unless I am trying to sleep. A huge plus is that I've had ZERO side effects of any kind (other than temporary ones when increasing doses), which is very rare for antidepressants and anti-mania drugs. Hope this was helpful and hopeful"


"I had the implanon after my first child. Then took it out, got pregnant with my second & back in a couple weeks after birth. I love it! Personally, it works great for me. I don't have bad side affects w/ it & my husband and I never use other forms of contraception & no scares. My period is still regular. I've gained weight but I'm also not the healthiest eater lol. My insurance covered it both for insertion & removal! & I'll definately keep using it. Its already in your arm so you don't have to remember specific times like with the pill. Or have rejections like w/ the IUDs"


"Found  this new drug on the internet, had to beg my doctor to let me try it since he had never heard of it. With what I was seeing online I thought this may be the drug to give me my life back. Nope, it didnt work for me, it actually made me feel like a had to go more. I didnt have any side effects other than that. I was on the 100mg dose 2x a day. I have had IBS D for over 30 years and have taken a lot of Imodium to control my symptoms and maybe that had something to do with this drug not working for me. But its great that they are trying to come up with new treatments, maybe the next one will work for me.I can only hope."


"Suffer from uric acid stones on an average of every 4-6 months.  Was given a prescription for Flomax last ER visit; filled it to keep on hand.  Two days ago had an attack and decided to try the Flomax.  Amazingly, the stone passed in an hour and a half instead of the next day!....This has never happened before and it really shortened the terrible pain which usually lasts many hours.  I will definitely try this next time I have an attack, which I KNOW will happen again."


"I've tried multiple birth control pills and the mirena, all of which either gave me horrible acne, mood swings, constant bleeding, or abdominal pain. I've now been on the generic of generess (kaitlib) for 4 months and have had a positive experience. I no longer have the horrible mood swings or extreme pms / pmdd symptoms that I did without birth control and on the other brands. No pregnancy, and I do take other prescriptions with it as well which have so far not interfered.  The only side effects I've had are a higher appetite, slightly increased hair growth where I don't want it, and now that it cleared my facial acne, I have it on my butt.. never had to use face wash on my butt before now.."


"Miracle medicine - where was it 8 years ago?"


"I was crying every day, and now after 3 weeks taking this medication I'm stable. I feel like my emotions went away.
I have headache often, eyes pain, but no nausea at all. I take it before bedtime.
I'm better emotionally,  not happy about the headache."


"Prazosin had been a God send. I had nightmares EVERY night. Was prescribed this medicine and they ended almost immediately, still have crazy dreams but not nightmares."


"I have been constipated with small stools x 10 days. Decided to try a laxative after several days of hydrating well and increasing fiber intake (that should be your first strategy).

Chose dulcolax because "bisacodyl" sounded more welcoming than the other active ingredients, and it only had ONE active ingredient which I thought would make it milder.

Took 1 pill at 2 PM after work. No effect. Waited till 9 PM and took 2. Honestly, probably took the two a little too soon. However, now it is 7.33 AM and I had one medium bowel movement that definitely looked like it needed to come out. I feel my bowels moving, but I'm not really in pain. I've had two 1 minute episodes of cramping feeling, nothing awful. Hoping the pills continue to work."


"Went to the ER for fever and strep throat. My back was hurting very badly as well. I was prescribed a few things but Tylenol 3 for pain. It makes me very groggy and sleepy and I like that because of rather sleep the day away than sit up. Makes me kind of dizzy but not too bad. Works well for pain and sleep."


"I've been on Skyla for about 3 months now. I wrote a review earlier within the first week I had Skyla inserted describing how it all went. Now I get very light cramps every once in a while. I also get my "period" regularly because of my two female roommates, when they get theirs, I get mine. But it's not a real period, just light spotting for about 2 to 4 days. I've also lost weight on skyla(the pills made me gain weight and drove me crazy). Now I'm back to normal but only down side is, I've been breaking out, bad, on my jaw area especially. Never had acne before until now, very frustrating. Trying to come up with a solution to the acne, if all goes well, I really won't have anything else to complain about Skyla. I'm 20 btw."


"Take Elvanse (50mg- UK version) in morning for past 2 years. Meds are slow acting, and do not improve motivation or efficiency when working. There is no alternative in the UK- no adderall- so this is the only option.  this medication sucks because:

1.) It gives such a great high for the initial 15 minutes to 30 minutes, but it gives such a horrible crash that the negative feeling ruins your day It does not help motivation if anything it causes depression , possibly improves concentration marginally.

2.) I have faced serious and significant weight loss. Being skinny myself, this is of course not a good thing. Currently a 5'11 male, weighing 62kg or about 135 pounds. Am 24 years old.

3.) The medication is addictive."


"Very drowsy for the first week of taking it, but once your body gets used to it, it is a great mood stabilizer. I've been on it 6 years and it calms the edginess and irritability with bipolar. Also makes you sleep like a rock. My weight only changed when lithium was added to my meds. No significant weight gain for me. If I go a few days without it, I notice I'm on edge constantly."


"I am very anxious to take any RX meds. I have suffered with migraines for years. Finally my doctor told me to please try This and get relief!  Why do I wait sooo long!  It got rid of my migraine and I don't feel weird or goofy ;)."


"Don't do it.
I got mirena in March of 2016 and bled for a few weeks. I got a period every month until August. No period August, September, October. Starting early November, I began bleeding. It's now January and I'm STILL BLEEDING. It will not stop.
I am having it removed in a day. I cannot wait to get this thing out of me."


"I had the paragard inserted yesterday. I was sick of being on hormones, this year would have been 10 years on the depo. I haven't had any children. The insertion was painful and a very strange pain for someone who has never had children. However, for me, the cramps and spasms that occurred afterwards were the worst part. I actually vomited from the pain and it took me around 2 hours to stand up without passing out or panicking. I was prescribed oxycodone for the pain and some nausea pills. Yesterday i was in a lot of pain but today I'm feeling lots better! My pain tolerance is pretty high but those cramps kicked my bum! I will update on everything in a few weeks. Make sure you have someone with you during insertion to hold your hand! :)"
