"After reading all the reviews on this drug, I was extremely scared to take it. I was to take it for 3 days. Within hours of the 1st pill, my UTI symptoms diminished significantly. I felt about 90% better! The only side effects I experienced were fatigue and a little bit of chills, but that was it. I always took this on a full stomach with lots of water. I think what helped me the most was watching what I ate. I cut off all sugar, caffeine, sweeteners, etc. and ate a lot of regular oatmeal and greek yogurt. I just finished my pills, so I'll be going back to the doctor to get tested to see if I'm in the clear. So far I'm feeling pretty confident about it. Fingers crossed!"


"Great medicine, stopped me being so irritable and angry.I had Depression, Anxiety and OCD  to start with. I did feel spacey and more suicidal for the first week so don't drive during that time, I also felt very dizzy. I have been taking it for over a year and it does make me drowsy every day, so I take it before bed which ideally helps with my insomnia too! I'm on 150mg per day. If you are worried about your mental health, make sure you get help. It was the hardest, best thing I ever did."


"I take prestiq for anxiety (first) & depression. I don't know what the true definition of "normal" is but, this is the closest I've felt to it in quite some time.  My most recent attempt of feeling "normal" was with 8 years/ lexapro. My concentration level was on point & my anxiety level was low but,  the zombie like feel, the lack of sex drive & weight gain eventually drove me to find an alternative. After several failed attempts with various other options, I can say that prestiq has proven to disprove most, if not all, of my concerns. Yes,  I still get fiery mad at times (with good reason) but, it's controllable. Yes, I still get sad/anxious but,  there are tangible reasons & I am now able to pull myself out a lot sooner."


"I was on Tri-Sprintec for 6 months straight and it was great. I had no side effects, no yeast infections, no headaches, and my weight remained the same. After that I went to the doctors for my annual pap and they gave me 3 months of FREE Ortho Tri Cyclen pills. I took them because it was FREE, but those gave me constant yeast infections, headaches, tiredness and my mood swings were insane. My sex drive went down, and I wasn't pleased, nor was my boyfriend. So I couldn't take it anymore. I had the doctor write me a prescription for TRI-SPRINTEC, which always worked well for me. "


"My husband & I were intimate with no protection but we're not ready for a baby right now - I took Next Choice within 2hrs- I was very nervous about taking it since I had been on bc pills for 12yrs up til 2 months ago - I didn't want to mess myself up now that I was hormone free but I didn't want to be pregnant yet - I took ovulation test after and of course it was positive so I freaked - I didn't have ANY side effects at all during first day - I'm due to get my period in 4 days and I've been dizzy nauseous cramping and flushed all week so I'm convinced I'm pregnant - I just took test and it's negative :) I'm praying I'll get my period in a few days, if not then I'll take another test in and submit an update of whether it actually worked or not - so far so good!"


"I started taking this pill 3 weeks ago when i started my period. After starting it my period disappeared. Well 1.5 weeks later my period returned severely. I had severe cramps unlike anything i have ever had (and im 26). I called my doctor she said it was normal to be like this for the first 3 months on the pill. I have now been bleeding for 12 days and the severe cramps continued up until i went off the pill myself. Besides the cramps i was extremely moody and depressed. Be careful on this pill."


"I am currently almost 65 years of age. For several years I suffered off and on with symptoms of BPH (frequent urination, difficulty urinating, weak stream, etc) day and night. Sometimes I would wake up 8-10 times a night for bathroom visits.  Not being a person who goes to doctors regularly I tried about every OTC and home remedy I could find.  Two months ago I finally visited a doctor and described my condition. He prescribed Flomax and I started noticing improvement within a few weeks of taking it.  After about five weeks I was sleeping 6-7 hours between bathroom visits.  I have noticed no side effects other than slight occasional headaches which may or may not be related to the use of Flomax. Thank you Flomax!"


"This stuff is AWESOME.  Admittedly it itched like fire for three days until I slacked off and used a good moisturizing cream.  But my face is CLEAR for the first time in YEARS.  I recommend Carmex to heal the dry flakes and Aveeno after that.  If you have another breakout, go back to Differin.  I can't recommend this stuff enough.  It's worth it to itch and burn for a day or two; it's WORKING.  Just deal with it.  Thank you, makers of Differin!!!  Screw makeup.  I'm FREE."


"Began taking this after crushing my foot in a rollover car accident. My injury is long term, requiring multiple surgeries and lots of metal to put me back together again. This injury has been painful day and night, non-stop for months-I nearly reached a breaking point when my foot became infected. The pain was unbearable. This happened right around the time Xartemis came out. My doctor switched me from regular Percocet to Xartemis and I finally got relief! Plus only taking 4 pills a day simplified things a lot. I was skeptical but I am very pleased with it overall. As with any opiate I'm concerned for the long term but my circumstances require it right now."


"I'm 22 years old . 5'2 & I start taking Adipex 01/27/2015 my starting weight was 227lbs so far in the past 12 days I've lost 12 pounds. And I've had no side effects.

My goal is to fit in to my skinny jeans again ( 5/6 ) & my goal weight is around 130lbs."


"I was put on this medication as I have suffered from Aspergers Syndrome since I was diagnosed at four years old.

This is powerful. At 5mg I felt like a Zombie. I was constantly sleeping because it the effects were strong. It gave me symptoms of Paranoia, for example, I was convinced all the time that I was going to throw up every time I ate. It put me off eating heavy food and as a result I lost weight.

Probably one of the worst Anti-Psychotics I have ever taken. Too strong for a 15 year old (at the time) and when I came off it, It gave me Psychotic symptoms. I heard a constant moaning voice for days and it scared the crap out of me. Glad I'm of this medication!"


"I got my iud inserted today. Not sure how everyone's comments and stories are that its not as bad as I thought. I read so many stories and articles on this and was nervous but not as much as before cause it only seemed like a little bit of cramping during procedure. I took Advil before and then it happened. They explained everything and my gyno even said it was gonna be painful and it was!! the cramps were nothing like I ever felt before and you feel pinching a couple of times. After I was done I was shaking and lightheaded and having cramps for about 3 hours. I took more medicine and the cramps aren't as bad. I have been bleeding but let me tell you, it was super painful getting the procedure done."


"Diagnosed with sero negative rheumatoid arthritis about five years ago.  It came on very quickly and pain was awful. Took methotrexate, but was quite ill from side effects.  Thought I Achieved remission and stopped methotrexate. Unfortunately, the disease was active and recently had a flare that has lasted for months. Blood work all negative. Rheumatologist ordered an MRI and found bone erosion in the wrists.  Started Humira and had relief of symptoms shortly after.  Just took second injection.  The nurse who instructed me on the shots said to leave it out of refrigerator for 30 minutes, ice the site and inject.  I have done both injections in my stomach with no pain.  Using the Humira pen.  Also iced spot for 5 minutes afterwards"


"I was on this medicine for about 4 years. I tried the pill form which caused severe vomiting. After 2 doses it was intolerable and I was switched to injectable. I felt exhausted and had nausea and diarrhea for 3-4 days but I was able to get out of bed for the other days so this was a plus. Unfortunately, I picked up a nasty case of pneumonia even after getting the vaccine. Either I had exposure or it was caused by the methotrexate. I had to stop methotrexate. It took at least 2 month to recover and I'm still having asthmatic reaction. My doctor says I should continue to stay off it for now. He wants me to restart if RA symptoms return (which they are). I'm terrified to restart. He wants to switch to Simponi but I'm afraid of that too."


"I tried NuvaRing and I didn't experience many side effects and I thought it was very easy to use however I felt that it didn't stay in place for me which was extremely annoying and made me paranoid that it might not be working."


"I had to start at 5 mg and work my way up because I'm a baby, but I definitely feel better and oddly enough, my headaches have improved after 20 years. I don't feel any different, I'm just worrying less and not feeling the physical symptoms of anxiety. It still comes and goes a small bit, but it's WAY better!"


"I find that using 30 minutes before activity is much more helpful than the recommended 10 - 15 minutes.  My COPD is in the moderate stage."


"I've had endometriosis for over 20 years and have had about enough of the pain and the accompanying anemia from blood loss. In the last 5 years my blood loss from the endometriosis has increased tenfold and I have developed severe iron deficiency anemia. My OB/GYN and I decided to try Depo again (last time was in the early 90s) and I had my first shot in July of 2011. August was HEAVEN! No period and my iron levels tested almost normal. I was human again! Now it's September and I have had a "period" (in quotes, because it's more like a normal woman's period) for over 15 days and I feel like I have been hit by a Mac truck. No endometriosis pain, but my iron levels are so low from bleeding that all I can do is sleep. When it works, it's fantastic."


"I have been on Seroquel  (along with a myriad of other psychiatric medication) for 10 years at a dose of 600mg at night. For a while I would get so sedated that while sleeping I would stop breathing and jump awake feeling like I was drowning. While the medicine has been very helpful, I am starting to titrate it down in the hope of losing the 15kg that I put on when I started it. I now find it impossible to sleep without it so I'm coming off it very slowly hoping that my other medicines will keep my mood balanced. Overall a really good medication."


"I just started using this birth control. I'm still on my first pack. I've been moody and I have a little acne problem but reading these reviews have helped me know that maybe it'll go away. My breasts have been somewhat tender, but are improving now. I haven't experienced much weight-gain. And the first two weeks I felt sick, but never actually vomited. I have been more tired than normal also. But overall- it's a nice pill, small and convenient.
Thanks for the other reviews! It's reassuring!"


"On third round in 2013 conceived first born. Had a little bit of side effects. But changed to taking them before bed and didn't notice a difference. Trying to convince second child, on first round currently.  (Have PCOS)"


"I have been on 15 mg mirtazapine for 12 years and it almost totally cured my panic attacks. They had been getting so severe. I want to go off it, but my doctor says my attacks will probably come back if I do. So occasionally, I start to wean myself off, but always with the same result- returning anxiety/panic. So I think it works wonders for me, but the weight gain is a struggle."


"Low "T" 99 - where do I begin... Their offices in Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland are strategically located in commercial medical complexes and both their web presence and office locations lend the impression of professionalism. But don't let that fool you! This clinic is anything but. After the initial consult, providing all my pertinent information including billing and shipping addresses they screwed up and shipped my first months prescription to my billing address in Portland, OR even though I specifically provided a Seattle address for the medication.

"


"I have been taking Ambien for 5 years. My doctor sent me to sleep therapy. I have a mild case of Apnea. I could not stand the machine so she just prescribed Trazodone. I took 100MG first night. Could not function next day and woke every 2 hours. Took 50MG last night and am better today and was awake every 2 hours but could fall back to sleep. I am going to try 25MG tonight."


"I wanted to post a review of this product to help others who are struggling with acne and/or first starting this medication. I know when I first started ziana about 2 months ago I was looking through all the message boards I could to find reviews on what the experience was like for people! I am 20 years old and have mild acne and clogged pores. Nothing else I tried would get rid of my pimples. I started ziana and yes, it does get worse before it gets better. I had moderate acne and tons of little tiny zits showing up all over my cheeks. The medication was bringing all my clogged pores and acne to the surface. This lasted about 3-4 weeks until I started noticing a significant change. Now,after only like 2 months, my skin is almost perfect"


"I was on this pill last year and I had a really good experience with it. My face cleared up, I actually lost weight, and I did not get pregnant however one night I got a severe headache. I rarely get headaches so I read the back label and it said if you get severe headaches to contact your doctor so I did and they switched me to Ortho-Micronor which I hated. So now I'm back on Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo  and hopefully it will work as great as last time. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to go on a birth control pill."


"Worked amazingly for my mental disorders for about 3 months. Then it caused me to go have serotonin syndrome. Its a very toxic medication. Its a shame my body couldn't handle it anymore."


"Testostrone was down to 88, felt depressed, no desire to do anything, just miserable. 5 days on 10 grams and feeling much better already!"


"Had a severe allergic reaction to acne medication Tactuo on my face. Took one 50mg tablet and next day the chemical burn on my face is no longer hot, swollen or painful. For short term I highly recommend, provided relief for one of the most painful experiences of my life."


"Really great product, has cleared vast majority of back and chest acne. Issues, which I expected with benzoyl peroxide, bleaching of clothes and every few weeks or so my chest will be irritated. I just stop applying to the area for a couple days. Highly recommend. "


"I take a dose of 600mg at night time (because it makes me sleep). I wish that I could take less because I don't like that it makes me so tired but I need it to stay sane. I've been on it for 5 years and I used to sleep about 12 hours but now it's down to 9. The good thing about Seroquel is that I have only sleeping as a side effect. I have been on other meds and had everything, dry mouth, blurred vision, drooling, constipation, you name it, I had it. So Seroquel is at least good for that. The only bad thing in the last 2 years I have noticed over-thinking and like a conversation going on in my head but I cant find a good medicine and I don't want to increase Seroquel because of the sleepiness"


"I have been taking this drug for one month and I feel so much better and my sugar is in control. I noticed that my digestive problems mostly disappeared when I started taking this drug. My IBS is much better. The swelling and bloating in my abdomen has reduced greatly. So far I have not had any noticeable side effects. I take 15mg daily."


"The ONLY thing that has worked for my psoriasis, and my Dermatologist won't give it to me anymore."


"I've been taking Invokana for 11 months.  Started on 100mg for three weeks then increased to 300 mg daily.  My Hgb A1C has gone from 9.6 to 7.1 and my weight has decreased 70 pounds.  I've decreased my insulin Humulog 75/25 by 80% and decreased my Metformin by 25%.  Still tapering these.  I've gone down three clothing sizes, even my shoes are too big!  I have had one yeast infection and do use the bathroom more often, but it is worth it!"


"I an 61 years old, and never had an attack of gout until this past week. After 2 days, the pain was so bad I went to Dr and prescribed indomethacin. I take 3 50mg a day with food and pain has somewhat subsided. I still limp and can not put on my shoes. At least I can sleep. No bad side effects. I think I waited too long before taking this medication. I hope I never need it again but happy I now know about it."


"A reasonably good drug at controlling my moderate, seasonal asthma (I was diagnosed with asthma in my early 40s, during allergy season I have moderate asthma symptoms -really crummy lungs with wheezing - though I've never had an actual asthma attack. During non-allergy season I don't need any maintenance, most years).  However, I had to stop taking the medication for two reasons: first, the drug made my heart race which was a huge problem at night- I couldn't sleep. It also made me somewhat anxious and short tempered.  I thought I had generalized anxiety.  Instead, it was the medication giving me the symptoms (now that I'm off the drug my heart rate is fine, and the jumpiness has disappeared).  The other drawback was severe hoarseness."


"I was taking atenolol for almost 2 years and the only thing I noticed was the inability to push my cardio workouts too far. I switched to Coreg CR and I felt cloudy, and felt like a rubber band was around my chest. I am trying Bystolic now. First thing I notice is that my arms fall asleep at night when they are bent on my chest. I will most likely switch back to atenolol in a few days if I still have side effects. Besides the wall I was hitting when being agressive with cardio-exercise, atenolol 25mg made me feel very calm."


"I am on a 4 mg sample, but I have to stop because of side effect (dry mouth)."


"I told myself I would write a review once I got my next period. Here I am! I'd been told it works by everyone I know, but of course I did the absolute WORST thing you can do and that's searching google until you've actually been convinced you're pregnant because of some blog or comment. I bet most of you, if not all, are doing the same thing right now or you wouldn't be reading this! DO NOT do this to yourself. I had sex, the condom broke, and my boyfriend came inside me. Even worse, it was the day I was supposed to be ovulating. Took the plan b one-step about 6 hours later. Cramped really bad a day later. About 5 days later I spotted for about 4 days. My period skipped a month as well. So if you are late, do not panic!! Plan B does work!"


"On 100mg.   My BP was around 147/95 for several years.  The odd thing is I'm fairly fit.   I got off big cardio a few years back and just lifted weights 5-6 days a week.   Yeah I got big, but I knew things were not right, BP was HIGH.   Got onto Losartan, first few days on 100mg...I almost passed out, sweated profusely, was dizzy, and really shouldn't have been driving.   I've switched it up to 50mg morn, and 50mg night.   Now my BP is back up high, and I'm just not seeing results (I'm back on 30 mins cardio, 30 mins weights daily, sometimes double that.    First month this Losartan really messed me up...couldn't concentrate, personality kind of disappeared for a while.  Back level now...but if I get even a little bit dehydrated, I feel faint"


"My doctor started me on gabapentin about 4 months ago now for pain from osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia and bad knee pain.  She had me take 100mg, 3 times a day.  Or she said, I could take 1 tablet in the morning and 2 tablets at night, or all 3 tablets at night and nothing else during the day, whatever works for me.  Each tablet is 100mg.  The medication definitely slows my system down and makes me relaxed and sleepy, so when the pain from my diseases starts to act up, I take my pills according to how I feel and they seem to work for me really well taken that way.  No side effects at all from the meds.  I told my doctor I did not want any narcotics at all for my pain, as they are addictive and I did not want to be addicted to any pain med"


"I had been on Concerta in high school for questionable ADHD diagnosis, and it had a VERY minimal benefit. So minimal that after 2 school years it was determined my problem was probably more attributable to being "smarter than your average bear" and I just was not being challenged in my non-honours and non-dual credit classes.
Made it through Uni and my doctorate degrees OK by overloading my schedule and surviving on coffee and caffeine tabs, taking 18 hr semesters instead of the rec'd 12-15 hrs.
Fast forward to a few yrs later, I have been on Adderall for about 4 mo, titrating to the perfect dose of 2×5mg at 8am & 5mg at noon. Was switched to modafinil B/C my anorexia nervosa and I can't wake up, get out of bed, finish reading an email. Hate it!"


"When I first started taking Lexapro it made my depression even more severe. Then after being on it for several weeks I became a zombie.  No, I wasn't depressed anymore but I couldn't feel happy either. And it also made my night terrors much worse."


"I really like Levoxyl and am bereft that it's unavailable now.  It doesn't affect my weight at all.  In fact, I let myself gain about 12 lbs a couple of years ago, juiced for a few days to get my eating back to normal and then proceeded to lose all the weight and then a few more.  I have absolutely no side effects. I tried Synthroid once and didn't like it.  I have also been on the same dosage, 0.1mg, all this time."


"Atorvastatin did lower my cholesterol quite a bit, but within the first couple of weeks I developed muscle pain in the back of one knee. After another week, I developed muscle pain in the calf of the other leg. My doctor doesn't think this was caused by Atorvastatin. He believes it is arthritis. He ordered an xray of knee and blood test for liver function. Waiting for results. If pain is from arthritis. I will continue taking medicine. If Atorvastatin is affecting muscles or liver, I may discontinue or ask to switch to another statin."


"Very helpful medicine, it worked for me instantly. Definitely going to recommend this!"


"I tried Clomiphene to increase my low testosterone without negatively affecting sperm quality. Unfortunately, just after my second dose (25mg) I woke up at night with numbness and tingling spreading over my whole left body side, with light tingling and muscle fasciculations continuing for over a week after disconinuing the medication. This is supposedly a very rare, but known, side effect of clomiphene, and was repeatable after trying it again after a few weeks. It also seemed to cause anxiety and even minor suicidal thoughts. On the plus side, it did probably increase my physical energy levels."


"I've only had 3 shots from Dec 2014 to my last one may 2015. After the first shot my periods stop completely no pain nothing also took care of my cyst problems. Use to get horribly large cyst that didn't erupt properly or in a timely manner. So that has been really nice not having to go through that pain for weeks. Second shot still going strong no problems, just a little boob soreness at times. Thrid shot here we go - weight gain, lots of hair loss, cramps with bad shooting  pain, boob soreness/pain when bending over, brown spotting to heavy brown which I have never in my life have had (I'm 30) for weeks now. Headaches, mood swings-very emotional at times.Going to doctor 7/22/15 I might just get off the shot. #Listen to ur body."


"I've only been on Celexa for 5 days. I understand that this will not be an entirely accurate review of the medicine, because it takes about 4 weeks to get the full effect, but my experience is worth sharing for those just starting.

Reason for being prescribed:
-anxiety associated with emotional stress
-depression (seasonal)
-inability to sleep due to anxiety
-panic attacks (only about 5 in a 2 month period)

Days 1-2: 10 mg - felt awful. I felt anxious, foggy-headed, weird...
Day 3: I was quiet, but full of energy. Some trouble sleeping (woke up in the middle of the night)
Day 4: Tired because I didn't sleep well that night. Midday exhaustion. Somewhat antisocial. Still "myself" though.
Day 5: General good mood, positive. Productive.  "


"Took cymbalta for years for my fibromyalgia n depressions n really helped with the fibromyalgia but I started getting more depressed and my doctor put me on low doses n it help with the depression but not the fibro n after a couple of months he would increase the dosage. This kept going on for years until I decided to stop because I started having terrible dark thoughts. It scared me cause I did not want my daughters to find me dead.Took me over 2 years to eventually stop."


"My husband used a Denavir sample, attained from our Dermatologist.  He did not begin use at onset but when he began Denavir, the 'cold sore' disappeared in half the normal time  - no side effects either. We were astounded.  Tried to get another sample -they didn't have anymore, but gave my husband an Rx for it.  Checked with Pharmacy - the cost for Denavir was exorbitant. It is great stuff."


"Best antihistamine ever, excellent for anyone who suffers from viral hives."


"I have asthma and especially exercise-induced asthma, making it hard to run or do other high intensity sports. This works like a CHARM to shut off my asthma, and exercise-induced asthma, and also resolves allergies. However, it does seem to give me crazy dreams, makes me sleep in more than I normally would, and seems to increase my preexisting anxiety (but since I know this anxiety might be due to the medication, I am fairly capable of reminding myself that it's not real, and moving on). I only take it when I really need it, because of these side effects. As an adult I feel I can manage the side effects, but I'm not sure if it would work for kids. This drug has been absolutely life-changing and essential for me in controlling my asthma!"


"I hope this helps to all the depressed people out there. I have been seeing a psychiatrist for drug induced depression.  I abused meth, Vicodin, coke, and any other drug you can think of for years and that has left me a basket case. I have tried many antidepressants but I suffer too many adverse reactions for the stronger stuff. I am currently on 300mg Wellbutrin and 15 mg Deplin and I have to say I feel GREAT! However I had taken Wellbutrin/Deplin combo in the past and it stopped working for me after 6 months.  The results with the antidepressants were a little funny because I went back to abusing Vicodin. Now I am clean of any drugs and just taking what is prescribed by my doctor.  300mg Wellbutrin and 15 mg Deplin. "


"I got sick earlier this week with the flu, which triggered a sinus infection and bronchitis. My doctor prescribed OTC Flonase for the symptom of sinus congestion. I began taking Flonase, two squirts a day in each nostril, on Tuesday. While I was in the midst of the illness, with fever, body aches, and severe congestion and coughing, I did not think there was a problem with the fact that I could not taste or smell. It is the fifth day, however, and while my sense of taste has come back about 40%, my sense of smell has not come back at all. I became curious and looked up "Flonase and sense of smell" on the internet. Apparently, people are reporting loss of sense of smell when using this product. I hope mine comes back."


"I've had in in almost three months now. I do recommend this due to the fact that I had a waaaay lighter period the first time around and haven't had it since. It is super easy to get it in, though the numbing shot thing did sting a tiny, not much more than getting your ears pierced. Once the numbing kicked in, I didn't feel when the rod was inserted into my arm. Most of the time, I forget the rod is even there due to how small and painless it is in my arm. The only thing I would warn you about is the side effects though. Please read into what they are so you can see when they show up. Many are close to the same as the symptoms as pregnancy."


"I've been on Nexaplon for 6 months now and I can say it's been very affective, I have unprotected sex without pulling out and I've had no trouble, so that's good. But I have gained quite a bit of weight,  I went from a flat stomach to a little bit of a pudge. I also have experienced slight mood swings and acne, but the weight gain is by far the worst and most noticeable. I really like Nexaplon because of not having to take a pill, or get a shot every 3 months, and it's awesome to not have to wear condoms lol. Besides, I love how it's a lot more affective than pills or anything else, but I am in fact insecure about my figure now.... at least I'm not pregnant. :-) Hope this helps"


"I have had a bad experience with Implanon, mostly to do with my skin. I have had it for five months now and getting it taken out tonight. I have NEVER had any problems with my skin until I had Implanon put in. My skin has been really dry, lumpy, random red bumps popping up and going away and it has been stinging at times when I rub it or put moisturise on it. I still get bad period pains and random bleeding. My moods have also been really extreme.

In my personal experience and the contraception that has worked the best for me is the Depo Provera injection which you have to get every three months."


"Such a great pill! I contracted HSV 2 when I was only 17 by my boyfriend that cheated on me. One week before my highschool graduation. I started taking it only when having outbreaks until shortly after I was having 3-4 a month. I was beyond depressed. My doctor told me about suppressive medicine taking it twice a day (500mg) and ever since then I have been clear of any sign of an outbreak. I'm going on month 5 with no symptoms. Makes me feel myself again! Remember ALWAYS USE PROTECTION!"


"I was diagnosed with UC in March 2015 out of nowhere.. Rapidly got bad and needed to be hospitalized for a week to get the flare under control.. Was given heavy doses of steroids (awful) and they did nothing to help.. I was released from the hospital after a week and symptoms were still bad.. About 2 weeks later after not being able to eat and losing 20lbs I was barely able to walk and was readmitted, this time I went to Columbia in NYC.. I wasn't able to eat for the full first week in the hospital and symptoms were steadily horrible.. My doctor decided to give me a loading dose of remicade and the results were almost immediate! I have been on remicade every 8 weeks since and don't have a single symptom of UC

It's been a life saver!"


"This is my second birth control. I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for a year and I was extremely emotional so I switched. The first few weeks on this pill I had terrible acne! Not just on my face but my back and chest and I feel huge. I don't even want to get ready and do anything anymore. All I've done since taking it was sleep. I'm calling my doctor and switching asap."


"This shot has saved my life. I was very hormonal with terrible painful PMS. This shot helped with all of my symptoms..including my constant back pain. I don't really think the weight gain is a big issue because I know I gained 5 pounds around my period anyways.  I have energy to do more important things now and it has helped my depression significantly. It may not be for everyone but it definitely is helping me tremendously."


"I take 2 Norco 10/325 every morning with 800mg Ibuprofen for lower back pain due to 2 herniated discs from an injury in 2005. They are only partially effective. I have built up a tolerance to pain medicines. Even during radio surgery, the sedation I was given did very little. My doctor just gave me Morphine to use at night to help me sleep, but I am allergic to sulfur and the drug is actually called Morphine Sulfate. I am afraid to take it because of the potential side effects(hives). I'm waiting for authorization for disc replacement surgery, so hopefully I won't need pain medicines in the future."


"I have found Metrocream to be very effective in combating symptoms of rosacea, especially the pimple like lesions I get around my nose & chin area.  I use only when needed and notice after just a couple of applications a dramatic improvement."


"The VA now dispenses the Mylan patches instead of the Qualitest. They are not even remotely comparable, plus the Mylan patches give me a headache. Do not accept these patches as you will be disappointed and will waste your money."


"This has been good for me."


"To those who commented that they cut their dose of XL or ER or CR, you cannot cut extended release or controlled release in half.  This is dangerous.  Instead call your doctor and have the dose changed.  Extended release cut in half enters your blood stream way to fast and can cause serious issues."


"I have been on 3 different birth control pills in 3 years and I have to say Aviane is the best. The other two were Ortho and Loestrin and they were both horrible for me. I was moody, crying all the time, angry, always hungry, bad cramping and depressed. I asked to be put back on Aviane. It's been a week and I've noticed a dramatic difference. I'm so much more pleasant to be around, and I'm hardly ever hungry. The last time I was on Aviane I lost around 20 pounds in a year. Plus, no cramps!"


"I have emphysema related anxiety and Xanax is the only thing that helps me. It does not get rid of the anxiety attacks but is strong enough to manage getting my anxiety attack under control. The quality of my life is unbearable without this medication."


"This medicine has changed my life and allowed me to have a semi normal routine even with multiple migraine attacks through the month.  It almost always works for me within an hour and though it is very expensive, it is well worth it.  It is the only medicine I have taken that has helped me."


"I have been on Contrave for 2 weeks. I take 1 pill in the a.m. and 1 pill in the evening. So far the only side effects l have experienced are excessive sweating and dry mouth. These are minor considering I've already lost 5 pounds. I did have some eye twitching after I started taking 2 pills a day. Overall I am thrilled with the results. I Will be starting two pills in the a.m. today. I am anxious to see how well it they work."


"I have both NHL and HL, have been on Opdivo since Feb 2017, I've had very little side effects, mostly a small rash.
My Hemaglobin went from 59 to 145, I feel great, and I'm preparing for a donor stem cell transplant in Sept 2017
I've had an autologous stem cell transplant and several different chemos

"At first it didn't work until we found the right dose I am now taking 1400 mg a day and I have no neck pain head or shoulder pain as long as I take it. When I do have a bad day at bed I take 20mg of muscle relaxer and I am good to go"


"I had a decent experience with Balziva. It wasn't right for me, but everybody is different, so that doesn't mean it won't be great for someone else. Before birth control, my periods coming every other week. With Balziva, they came about halfway through the pack and lasted until the end of the pack. This happened for the 3 months I was on it, so my doctor switched me to a different one. Other than the weird periods, I've had a positive experience with Balziva. I think my face did break out a little bit, but nothing serious. My breasts were also a little bit more sensitive, and I have gained a few pounds, but I'm not quite sure if it's due to the Balziva or me being away at college. But overall good experience."


"Hello I started Nuvaring a week n two days ago everything was fine. Until a day later I keep having this pressure down there and I was very irritated while having sex last night. I've used every birth control there is an nothing suited me. My sex drive had decreased nausea every morning. Took my ring out after sex bc I was so irritated my docs nurse says I may have had a reaction to it. Any advice. On why I am experienceing this. I have no put in another ring. BC of the intence pressure n irrigation"


"I started the pill not to long ago and I haven't had any problems besides bloating."


"I've been on and off Dulera for several years.  After using it regularly for a month or two I invariably get a low-level infection in my lungs/bronchial tubes.  Major yellow-to-brown phlegm, constantly coughing.

Then when I go off Dulera, after a few days the infection self-cures and the phlegm and coughing subside.  But then of course the asthma comes back.

For me there's no magic solution (yet!).  I'll probably not use Dulera any more, too afraid of the infections it encourages."


"Takes pain away sometimes but I got to take more dosage"


"Was a minor help with my cough. Was a major help in giving me diarrhea. Needless to say, I would not recommend it."


"After having my daughter last September, I fell into severe PPD and anxiety. I tried many types of meds, but had minimal if any relief and most left me more exhausted than I was to begin with. I started Pristiq Aug 6th of this year after having a DNA profile of the meds I could tolerate (not very many!) and with every week, I've felt better. Every week (except for the first few weeks), I've been able to look back and see how much I feel more like myself again and how much my anxiety has lessened. Almost 12 weeks since I began and I am very thankful for it. Remember, it's not a quick fix, no antidepressant is, it definitely took time."


"I had my first Aclasta infusion in October 2014 on the recommendation of my Oncologist.  I had been on Arimidex for breast cancer for 10 months.  As yet I have no idea how effective it has been for my bone density.  I took two days off work in preparation for any side effects -  but am happy to report that i had ZERO side effects, nothing, not even a sniffle!!  :)"


"I started this 9 days ago and I really don't break out that bad, but I was just sick of it. My doctor gave me epiduo and it hasn't made my skin very dry. After reading other reviews I have high hopes because I know after about 3 weeks it will really work (right now I am breaking out because of it) epiduo has worked great for my friends too!"


"I've had about 4 to 6 gout attacks over the past year, and I'm 31 yrs old. Overall healthy, just like to have way to much fun, and eat real good too. That being said, the gout attack I'm suffering with now was a Beast Mode of an attack to my ankle, and it's lasted for nearly week. At first, doctor gave me prednisone (steroid pack), that did absolutely nothing to help. Got a shot of cortisone in my back side, which didn't help either, since the gout is in my ankle. (in past, direct cortisone shot to affected area would do wonders!) So, I call the doctor's office after my pain has not gone down, and if anything its gone up! Doctor gives me Colcrys..says.."SD affect diarrhea" not on 1st day/2nd day for me...but it's a miracle medicine, Pain free."


"Have <20 to lose with elevated a1c. Started mid-July with Weight Watchers and upped exercise. Have pre-existing but treated Grave's disease. Was intrigued by Contrave because of potential to help me quit my smoking habit as well.  During "build-up phase", I lost 2-4 lb. I can only say I had dry-mouth which I rectified using Biotene.  I made sure to eat before taking it (as directed).  NO notable difference the 1st 4 weeks. Many times I was famished between doses, so I lost and gained the same weight and no reduction in smoking.  At my 1 month follow up, my Dr. urged me to stick with it another month.  Shortly after I noticed I went from 4-6 cigarettes per day to barely 1 + my appetite has lessened.  Jury still out...but there is hope!"


"Last weekend Me and My Girlfriend was having sex but the condom broke. Even though I didn't cum , I was scared for pre-cum so next day she got Plan B & this was 27 hours later . I don't know if she was ovulating or not but she was tired  and having the side effects on the box like nausea , acne , abdominal pain (cramps ,stomach aches) but that's all she told me . I was so freaked out I couldn't eat , I was researching everyday & the internet was scaring me about other people experiences that didn't work . 10 days later she texted me and said she has her period ! This is the greatest relief I've ever had !

So the pill works ! It's worth the money . Don't go on google or anything because you will be freaked out! It will be okay"


"Was taking 150mg of Effexor XR for an eating disorder and depression, did not help me. Had terrible night sweats, would wake up in the middle of the night with wet clothes and I have put on a lot of weight and couldn't lose weight, I've been totally off Effexor XR for around a week or so and I will never go back on."


"I started taking trulicity last Monday.  Once I had the first injection, I immediately felt symptoms of nausea and dizziness.  I'm only in my first week and I have called off work twice because of the diarrhea and vomiting. I do not recommend trulicity  I will not take trulicity next week and I hope to not feel the way I feel now. I've lost 4 pounds but I can't hold any food down.  My blood sugar is somewhere between 146 and 120 but the way I feel it really doesn't matter."


"I am not sure if I had post partum depression or not, my youngest child is 2 and it seems ever since having her I've been not the best mom out there, or wife.  I was very moody all the time and just recently it has gotten worse. I felt like I was always on a rage at home, yelling at everyone, everything getting on my nerves, snapping at family members, it was terrible. Celexa saved my life! I felt improvement within days. I feel more calm and no longer have the urges to yell and get angry with anyone. Have experienced headaches and fatigue & yawning, but nothing compared to how I was feeling before so I can handle the side effects! I am on week 3 now, hoping they diminish with time."


"I've gotten cold sores since childhood 40+ years ago.  I've tried many remedies, Denavir is by far the best I've ever used, especially when used at the first sign of an outbreak."


"I've been on Neurotin for almost 4 months and it has given me relief for chronic pelvic pain. 300mg at night and 100mg mid-day was the initial dose and at present I'm on 300mg at night only.  It has made the pain bearable however the side-effects have been lethargy, headaches, aching eyes, and dreaming so vivid it leaves me hung over. I'm hoping this will improve with time. It has helped with the pain."


"Soolantra is a  terrible cream, it make my smooth skin flare up , and lots of pimples at two side of my face, throw this cream into rubbish can."


"No better than over the counter cough syrup..."


"I usually don't leave reviews but I feel like i could ease some minds. Ladies, take a deep breath. It works. Trust me. I'm a bigger girl whose way over the "weight limit" and it was 100% effective for me, even after I had unprotected sex on my most fertile day! Symptoms can scare you as they are exactly like pregnancy symptoms such as sore breasts and random bleeding. Like I said, relax. If you have taken the pill as directed, you'll be fine. "


"Has already turned my life completely around!"


"I experienced spotting during the first month, but have not experienced any side effects since then. Sometimes I find it easier to insert than others, but it's pretty simple and its low-maintenance. I'd highly recommend it."


"This stuff is a life changer!! I was prescribed this about 2 years ago and have used it ever since. I would pour sweat under my arms and could be freezing cold..I was determined to find something that helped. I tried all the expensive deodorants at the store and none of them worked..I finally told my Dr and he prescribed me this. Yes it burns and hurts at first but eventually you won't need to apply it but maybe a couple of times a month and never apply it the same day you shave..it doesn't hurt, burn or irritate me at all anymore and still no sweating..don't know what I would do if I could no longer get this"


"Used the ring for 6 months.  I gained 20 pounds. I went from 120 to 140. Its not very easy for me to gain weight. Had a lot of discharge that made it extremely uncomfortable. I never get yeast infections and got one on the ring. And my sex drive went way down on the ring. I am switching back to the pill cause I've never had any problems with the pill only minor and I've used the pill for 3  years."


"Wow, just wow. It's been almost going on 2 months, and I feel like a completely better person. First of all hang in there. Side effects are hard the first week but you will get levelled out. I go to the gym and don't have an anxiety attack and run out after only 30 minutes thinking I'm dying. The fear factor has went away and that's the first thing I have noticed. My overall mental balance and mood has dramatically improved, I don't feel as off in a chemical imbalanced but more balanced and confident. I don't ever want to get off this."


"I have been taking 5 MG's of Celexa and 1.mg Xanax for a year now and have found great relief from anxiety and sleep problems. Im very sensitive to medication thus the low dosages. My doctor has no problem combining the two meds for me. Life is much better without anxiety. Perfect for me."


"I'm 20, 5ft and 97lbs. I've been on Ocella for 4ish years now. I originally was on Yaz then Yasmin the. When Ocella came out I switched. For me, the experience was normal. I was moody on my periods (nothing new) and a big decrease in acne! But now I am thinking of switching to a stronger birth control, even though I've been on Ocella for so long and love the product I think my body needs a change in medication. I'm becoming a little more irritated then the first 2 years, my nipples are especially tender after my period which never happened before. It's time for a change. Overall a great product if you would like to see a decrease in acne, no weight gain, no pregnancy scares, no depression or moodiness for the most part. Good for older teens!"


"I'm on my second month of nexplanon and i think there are a lot of pros and cons. i love the fact that i don't have to take a pill every single day, and that i am protected as far as pregnancy goes. however, I've had a lot of the negative side effects. I'm already spotting, which is normal but somewhat frustrating. i've also gotten more acne since starting it. i already have stomach issues, but nexplanon has messed with it a little more. but the worst part of it is my mood. i suffer from general anxiety disorder and have bouts of depression and it seems like since starting it's all gotten worse!

however, i'm going to keep using it and work through the stuff, because i do feel protected."


"I'm 23, I had my SKYLA put in on December 17, 2015. It's been a little less than a month now. The initial insertion was pretty painful but pretty quick. I love that I'm pretty much 100% covered against pregnancy and that I don't have to remember to take a pill. The only down falls I've noticed are the constant bleeding, I've bled every day since insertion and I've noticed some acne on my face, back and chest area. The bleeding is very light (sometimes mucousy) but it's annoying when you'd like to have sex but have to continually turn your partner down  :/ the bleeding is so light that I can't wear a tampon, I can only wear party liners."


"I feel like Xanax saved me. I had a very rough childhood with my father addicted to drugs, lost our house, had to raise my sisters because my mom had to get a full time job. I was going down a very bumpy road. I finally settled down with my now soon to be husband, and with the persuasion of him and my father (now sober, and also has anxiety) At age 18 I finally broke down and decided to go talk to a doctor. He prescribed me to multiple anti-depressants that made everything worse. He then put me on Xanax, I've never been so stress free. I have held down the same job, I'm doing well in school and again, and maintained a healthy relationship. I'm a changed person at 21 years old."


"Bad thoughts.  Worsening depression gained 35 lbs in 6 months.  Liver enzymes slightly off.  I feel like a cow. I stopped taking it and am taking lexapro but still gaining weight. I have always been thin."


"After reading all of the comments I had to comment also. I have taken Buspar for 8 years. I have noticed a lot of weight gain, which I thought was from this medicine. I have not seen that in anyone's comment. So I am now thinking it is my lifestyle. I do get dizzy so I have to lay down for 30 minutes after every dose. I am supposed to take 1/2 pill twice a day but laying down is not an option for me on most days so I skip a dose or two. Sometimes I do not take it for weeks. I do notice when I take it for a few days like I should that when I miss a dose I am even more agitated/aggravated/anxious and as one said looking for the bad that is around the corner. Thank you all for helping me decide to finally take this as I am supposed to."


"Iv'e had Skyla for 2 years. I got it put in after the pill failed and my second baby was born. Insertion was a little painful but tolerable. I cramped and spotted after which is normal. My periods were irregular at first but my body adjusted and became regular periods. I get extra sensitive I guess during obvulation and periods as to the cramping and head and backaches. Sensitive breasts. After a year when it was nice and convenient as my periods got lighter. My cervical fluid has thickened for sure and after 2 years of insertion I've noticed shorter lighter periods. But my main side effects are vaginal dryness, more headaches and more painful breast and cramps. But no pregnancies for 2 years so it works!"


"I have been dealing with Major Depressive Disorder for 9 years of my life, along with PTSD, and severe anxiety. I have been on so many different medications for depression, and have found that Prozac is the only anti-depressant that works for me. I have been as low as 10 mg, now currently on 20 mg. I am considering going to 30 mg. I have to see how I feel in the next number of days. I have been on this medication steadily for 6 months or so. I do have face twitches, but they are very minor and don't come very often. It really does help me get out into the world, and not be so affected by things emotionally. It's crucial to my well being and emotional state, and has prevented me from hurting myself for a long time."


"My fatigue from Multiple Sclerosis had gotten to the point that I could not function at work for a full day. I was only able to work for about 3 hours and I was having to stop because I was just so exhausted. I came home and went to bed. I couldn't clean my house or take care of my grand children. I have 2 grandchildren (ages 5 and 1) at the time I was diagnosed and it was really painful to me not to be able to play with them and care for them.  My doctor prescribed Provigil at 100 mg once daily and it helped a little. He then changed it to 200 mg twice daily and it was like I was a new person. I can now work a full day and I keep my grandchildren on Friday nights and I can come home after work and do whatever I need to. Provigil has actually given me my life back."


"Crushed and bulged discs in cervical region, but I refuse to have spinal fusion due to mixed results and incredibly invasive surgery. Was on 3-30 mg Oxycontins with 4 x 10 mgs oxycodone. I can't take anything with NSAID's in it because I had Hepatitis C, which is gone after 11 months of interferon and another medicine. The oxy combo was working fine until suddenly it became impossible to get the scripts filled. Pain management doctor switched me to 2-30mg ER's a day and three Opana 10 mg IR's a day and I have no side effects, works great."


"Celebrex did nothing at all to alleviate the knee pain my doctor prescribed it for."


"Does not cure it completely but cuts down the severe bouts of pain to a more manageable level. Can make falling asleep at night more difficult. No cost as in the UK on our NHS."


"I've suffered from depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. It finally got so bad that I had no choice but to go to the doctor. I hoped going on medication would enable me to function again. This stuff has far surpassed that! I'm happy and motivated and energetic now. I only wish I started this years ago! LOVE IT!!! :D"


"I have been on this medication for a little more than a week. I have lost about 12 pounds so far. I think it's important to note that everyone experiences the medicine and side effects differently.  Some of these reviews would lead people to believe that your cravings go away entirely.  For me, they haven't.  But seeing the numbers go down on the scale when I make good choices has given me the confidence and support I need to resist the diminished cravings I have.  As for side effects, I had 3 days of really bad nausea and stomach cramps about 2 days after starting the medication, but it resolved itself.  No insomnia or jitters.  A little dry mouth, but nothing unmanageable."


"Pain relief is fast and lasts a few hours. I've never had anything like it."


"I have suffered from anxiety and depression for much of my adult life.I have tried almost every option & medication available.
My first experience of Sertraline was just over 2 years ago,it was a breath of fresh air,& I felt fantastic.My happiness & quality of life improved beyond recognition.Despite being sceptical, I stuck with 100mg dose(8mnths),& continued to feel the benefits.
Due to my new found joie de vive I decided to give up on the treatment. Unfortunately after a month or so I noticed a change in my feelings,& gradually became more and more withdrawn.This trend continued.
3 months ago I started on Sertraline again, & it's been just as amazing. Incidentally I was also found to be gluten intolerant which can magnify depression"


"I like the patch. It has been effective so far. I started on Sunday after my menstrual cycle and I had unprotected sex 11 days after (so the first week after the 2nd patch ) and I just got the withdrawal bleeding ;"my period" on the third day of my patch free week. I've had unprotected sex during the patch free week since I am supposed to be protected from pregnancy according to instructions as long as I remember to apply the patch on time(every Sunday) I did experience a little nausea , head aches and a bit cramping but nothing too serious like other reviews. The body has to get used to the hormones so I know it will adjust with time. My period is lighter and with no heavy cramping! I used to have a 7 day period and now it lasted 3 days."


"I have been on Zoloft 25-150 mg for over 2 years. This has been the BEST 2 years of your life. Let me say that it took at least 90 days to really kick in and side effects to abate. If you have spent YEARS obsessed about your every action and thought, fearful and angry, depressed the 90 days of side effects is NOTHING. NOW if you want to keep living the way you are living because of dreams, diarrhea , INITIAL loss of appetite and weight loss then so be it. Improvement takes time. I was a 10 year Paxil user. Have TRIED lithium, Prozac, Luvox, tegretol, Xanax, Valuim, Alcohol, illegal drugs, supplements, buspar, kolonopin and on and on. ZOLOFT gives me a chance at life. I am still me with growing up issues at 50 plus but man this ZOLOFT is the deal."


"This medicine has given me my life back.
Prior to Synthroid: blood pressure spikes, panic, anxiety, insomnia, sweats, rapid heart rate, massive headaches, neck ache, muscle soreness, fatigued, weight loss, my nails would rip off, my skin was flakey etc. After two days and very SEVERE muscle pain I woke up on the third day a brand new person. One month on 50 mg and I was back to my normal self again. I was even able to exercise and paint my bedroom and was pain free the next day. My levels are still a bit high so it was raised to 75 mg a week ago and I just feel better and better.
All medicines are not for all people but this one has worked for me. I have long nails again and my dried out hair has taken a new life! LOVE it!"


"Stopped partial seizures, continue to have grand mal."


"I perforated a stomach ulcer, at age of only 33 y/o, and Protonix saved my life (after emergency surgery). ;-)"


"I am 43 and have been taking Monodox for a few weeks.  It is working great with no side effects.  Solodyn also worked great for me but had so many side effects that I had to stop taking it.  I am also using a topical with retinal.  In my 20's I took Accutane which worked for about 10 years.  Started getting cystic acne again in my late 30's.  I am very pleased with this medicine."


"I have moderate acne and its really annoying to be honest. I tried everything from over the counter medicines like Clearasil scrub and wipes, Oxyface wash, tea tree oil, clean and clear and none of improved and to be honest it made it worse. So then I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Duac, Zineryt, tetracycline and Differin. The Duac I was prescribed with 2 years ago and it cleared my acne up for about 20 months but then they come back again, so I went to the dermatologist he prescribed me Accutane 30mgs and 20mgs prednisone after 1 month there were little improvement but then it got really bad. I'm currently on months 3 and its still bad. I've had my dose moved up to 60mgs. I hope it works I finish my course next month."


"The ONLY motion sickness pill I have ever taken that works without side effects.  I love this product, however, I don't understand why I can't seem to find any to buy. "


"Levaquin 500 mg for adult ear infection for 7 days. By the 3rd day, severe pain in legs and calves. By 8th day severe joint pain all over body. Blood work today, but might be reaction to Levaquin. Feels like flu but worse."


"I have been on Brintellix for 5 weeks. I am feeling more and more like my regular self. My primary issue is GAD. I am finding that I am able to focus and concentrate better, my thoughts are not as obsessive, my motivation is increasing. My psych said that I need to give it another few weeks for maximum efficacy. I just hope things keep improving. Primary side effect at start up was nausea. But it went away after a few days."


"I am here to tell you 2 years after having my left kidney removed I am stable, and have been on Sutent since February 2009. I am the Cheryl that commented December of 2009. I am still grateful to the makers of Sutent.  I am now on 37.5 instead of the initial 50mg and it is more tolerable.  I have been stable for the last 6 months. I have one tiny nodule left in my liver. I started with 14 nodules in the lungs and 3 in the liver.  "


"Most amazing medication ever for acne- it feels like it's renewing skin while you sleep and helps to clear up skin immediately-- highly recommend!"


"I have a brain tumor. I've been on 1500mg/day since Feb 2011. I had a gran-mal seizure in the middle of the night. First seizure, first indication of the brain tumor. Haven't had a seizure since. Radiation took care of the tumor. Have not experienced any of the side-effects that most other people comment on other than occasional constipation. My dreams seem to be more vivid and realistic than before.  I'm 50 in two months."


"I'm 29 years old and I haven't had a problem with BMs really until the last 2 years, and then the last few weeks I have had ZERO/zip/no movement. I have been in so much pain and agony being so constipated with no relief and I tried EVERYTHING at home. Enema, laxatives, stool softeners, ice cream (sometimes it helps)... absolutely nothing helped. I finally went into my doctor after a night of throwing up blood (not sure what was up with that), and finally he referred me to a specialist but also prescribed me Linzess.

This is a MIRACLE PILL. It took about an hour and 45 minutes for it to kick in, but it helped, and continues. Ask your doctor for a co-pay card, it may help with price. It is expensive."


"Every persons body is different, but I have had a HORRIBLE experience with this medicine. I switched from Lo-Estrin 24 FE to Tri-Sprintec because of the dramatic price difference, but immediately switched back after three days of feeling like I was dying. Horrible headaches, extreme nausea, black outs, and I was even randomly losing my vision. Like I said everyone is different, so you won't know until you try, but if your body is accustomed to lower doses of hormones and you switch to something higher, it isn't a good result."


"Wonderful takes stress away"


"Benicar HCT was effective in bringing my readings down to normotensive but it came with side effects:GERD, abdominal discomfort and generalized malaise. My doc switched me to Loasartan  (another ARB) without thr duuretic and so far it' working great at maintaining my BP in the normotensive range. The added bonus: Losartan doesn' t carry the high risk for villous atrophy that Benicar does, nor does it have the high cost ...a win/win in my book!"


"I'm only 21 and have been smoking since I was 18, it is just not for me and I wanted to quit smoking especially for my daughter. I didn't want a cigarette the first day I took it. It definitely beats going cold turkey. I plan to stay smoke free for the rest of my life."


"10mg did nothing for me"


"I started Yasmin about 3 months ago now and seriously had so many side effects- not only did it made my skin worse but I constantly felt bloated, was depressed, I'm usually quite energetic but it made me really sleepy constantly.

I'm  in my last year of my degree, so it really was not helpful at all! Luckily I found sense to leave the pill and already I feel better, I'm not bloated anymore and generally less tired! I am still in search for something to cure my acne though. "


"I'm taking Zyban SR 150mg twice a day.  I started with once a day for 7 days on May 10 2017.  So I've been on on it for 12 days.  I have stopped smoking which is the goal for 3 days.  Should I stop taking this medication soon?  The side effects are overwhelming.  I am flush, chest pain, bad taste in my mouth, sweats, nausea, head feels foggy, ears are pain with fullness feeling, constipated, and more.  Will the side effects go away?"


"On December 15 2007, I started the Chantix program after 45 years of smoking and trying all the other stop smoking programs that are offered. I said what the heck I'll try this one. I am elated to tell you that as of this date January 6 2010 I am still a non smoker and I don't miss  them . I call Chantix my miracle cure. I only wish that I had found Chantix years ago. Oh my side effects dreams I was on a cooking show, gained a little weight. Good news I no longer take blood pressure medicines, I walk 3 miles everyday and I am proud of myself and thank my miracle cure everyday."


"I had the implant put in 5 weeks ago and for the first 3 weeks everything was okay. I had some really light bleeding but it was manageable. However, the last 2 weeks have been awful! I've constantly been having migraines and feeling so unwell! I even threw up! I feel so bloated all of the time and I've put on soo much weight ! I really hope this calms down because its really affecting everything i do :'( obviously i want it taken out but the nurses advised me to keep it in for 6 months but honestly i dont know how much longer i can last! Constantly crying too :'("


"Well, this is the first birth control pill I've been put on in my life, and the first month was horrid. I had a crazy-long period and lost my sex drive and was an emotional wreck. It's been a second month now, and the spotting is gone and my sex drive is back and the period was very short, so I'm satisfied. "


"When my body is getting immune to viagra, i recently tried cialis. I read so much good reviews that I went to buy. D dispensary only sells a box of 8 pills. Ist time I cut the 20mg into 2 piece.I took 1/2 at 9 pm. At 12 midnight nothing happen so I took the other 1/2. Until morning only a slight erection. Next night at 9pm again I took full 20mg pill. I had an erection only at 9am the next da for 30mins. By then the missus had already gone to work. The following evening at 9pm again I took the 3rd 20mg pill. Same thing. 9am next morning some erection. Nothing great. Last 30mins thsts all. All the time whole day no repeat erection. So 3 days and total 60mg no good reaction. I am 63 years old taking meds for hypertension and type 2 diabetes"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I had to post bc all the other posts were so helpful to me - as I was sitting on the toilet. Firstly, it tastes like crap.  Like the taste you have in your mouth the morning after a long night of drinking.  Disgusting. I did take the advice and use a straw second time around. It helped but geez.  You'll want to drink that first glass of water afterwards.  The second glass is tough. I only made it through 12 oz (rather than 16oz) first round - I felt like I was going to be sick.  2nd round, I finished it.Prep seems to be working - not painful but certainly uncomfortable. Most of the activity was in the first hour - 2nd hour things slow down (yeah!).  Last night, I was able to go to bed 3 hours after, only had to get up once. Procedure soon!"


"alot of issues with this medication: extreme bloating, weight gain and hunger. pain in abdomen, gurgling sounds in abdomen area, burping and belching after every single meal, which normally never occurred with me. Dizziness almost all the time, extreme headaches, EXTREME muscle stiffness and much difficulty walking and doing daily activities. Sweating for no apparent reason. Insomnia."


"Another review after 12 weeks no change in my condition, Taltz is not helping and having same symptoms as described by another reviewer. Fine rash on chest, face and Genital itching. My Psoriasis lesions are starting to get worse on my hands , elbows and ankles. I had been on Otezla which worked for about 18 months, then I developed severe Psoriasis on my hands that I cannot get rid of, Humira made everything worse and I developed thick plaques on hands and feet, Taltz helped the plaques on palms hands and bottom feet but cannot clear top of my hands which are my most visible areas and very embarrassing. I take Estilar , clobetasol, and triamcinaline topically. Nothing is working. Biological have made my Psoriasis worse than ever."


"I have had severe insomnia for about 3 years. My physician gave me 2 sample packs of 6mg Silenor.  I cut them in half to take 3mg as needed. They worked wonderfully and I finally got several good nights of sleep without the groggy feeling in the morning. After the samples were gone, I got my Rx filled and found out my insurance will not cover it.  After having been awake for 36 hours straight, out of desperation, I paid an arm and a leg for the Silenor. The first tablet of the Rx worked but that's it.  I Increased to taking 6 mg and it still didn't work. Still no sleep. I have given up on Silenor and have gone back to a different insomnia Rx that works sometimes but at least my insurance covers it it only costs me $5."


"I am 39 yrs old, experiencing hormonal acne along the jaw line and T zone. As others noted I used Acanya and Atralin together experiencing excellent results. I now just use Atralin (and have for a year). I love it. I think it helps fade my melasma too. I also take a vitamin called Herpanacine. I has helped tremendously with my body acne, which is nearly impossible to fight without a horrible pill. It is natural, no side affects and really really works. I wish I had known about it earlier in life, would have saved me some heartache...which is why I want to share."


"Effective for my use for autoimmune/inflammatory/arthritis issues however blood pressure rise is trade-off! Feldene also very effective but for obvious reasons not agreeable."


"I have used Diflucan several times during the past few years. Usually just one 150mg pill does the trick and I feel relief a few hours after I take it.  I've only had a handful of times where I've had to take a second dose and it was due to being on antibiotics.  The docs know this, so when I need an antibiotic, they will also prescribe a Diflucan "chaser"."


"This stops the pain but constipates the user. Experienced nausea, racing hearbeat and drowsiness with this medication"


"I am using these patches for 18 months and it has been very effective. But severe psychiatric side effects like increases sexual urges, compulsive chatting/internet surfing, fast driving etc are making me reconsider the use."


"First and foremost, this medicine does what it says -- as long as you follow the directions.   The downside is that this is the worst crap I have ever had -- no pun intended.  OMG... I don't understand the people that said things like: "it wasn't bad" or "tastes nice like cherry cough syrup".   I found it to be completely disgusting.  I had gagging sensations and a bit of vomiting, but I did get it down.     Thank goodness I read the reviews about drinking it cold and sucking a lemon or lime after each gulp.  That's the only thing that got me through.   I completely messed up with the first dosage because it tasted so bad, I kept adding additional water to the cup to continue the dilution process.  I hope and pray that doesn't negate exam."


"I had Skyla inserted 2 weeks ago. I had been on the pill on/off for 16 years and hated it. It was making me nauseous, depressed, and anxious. My gyno recommended the IUD. I've had no kids and have a small cervix.
As everyone has mentioned, insertion is painful but short. I took 2 aspirin and a relaxant beforehand and it still really hurt. Probably the worst part of recovery for me is that I've been spotting & on/off cramping for 2 weeks now. However, I haven't spotted in 2 days so I'm hoping thats the end of it. Besides that, I am very happy with it -- I don't feel any changes in mood, appetite (if anything, appetite is less), sex drive & NO NAUSEA! I would say give yourself 4-5 days to heal (I didn't and regret it)."


"I have been on Lexapro for about 5 years now and it completely and utterly changed my life. I had very serious anxiety which caused my relationships problems, problems in my job and all over my life, I was erratic  and an emotional rollercoaster, after 2 weeks on Lexapro I felt stable and always the happiest person in the room, my brain needs this to function correctly without a doubt. I look back and cant believe I was the person I once was."


Acetaminophen / diphenhydramine / phenylephrine

"The best medicine"


"I had been on the brand name Nuerontin for my complex partial seizure disorder, since 1994. When the generic came out, I began taking it. I began experiencing menopause symptoms within two months. I was 36 years old at that time. Three months ago my neurologist put me back on the name brand. My symptoms have diminished greatly, but not completely. I think my condition is unique in that I took this medication while still in child bearing age. When my age increased, something about the generic formulations bio-availability actually induced menopause symptoms. I also know that the name brand is working as evidenced by weight gain which can be brought back down with exercise. I had lost weight, sleep, memory and sanity while on the generic."


"I recently (within the last year) started suffering from panic attacks. They were sudden and brought on out of nowhere. I've always suffered from anxiety, but given recent life changes, it had taken it's nasty toll into debilitating panic attacks. I had become so anxiety ridden that I was forgetful, overwhelmed and my mind felt like a racetrack. My doctor prescribed me 20 mg of fluexotine (generic Prozac) and I took it for about 2 weeks before I quickly realized it wasn't for me. I discovered St. John's Wort and Valerian Root and they have completely changed my life. The weight off the world is off of my shoulders and I feel so much more balanced. No more panic attacks and anxiety has been greatly reduced."


"When I started taking a hormonal birth control pill my skin broke out worse than it ever had before. I tried antibiotics, switching birth control pills, but nothing worked. Then finally after about 7 or 8 months, my dermatologist prescribed me spironolactone (two 25 mg pills in the morning and one at night), and after a few months my skin was completely clear. I use prescription topical creams for my acne as well, but I can definitely say that spironolactone has made a world of difference for my skin. I don't ever want to stop taking it! The only minor side effects I noticed were increased thirst and slight dryness in my normally oily skin, but after taking it for about a month they went away!"


"I had a migraine/headache for two weeks. I took everything over the counter nothing helped then I tried Hydrocodone it didn't help at all, then I tried my daughter's Midrin and it did take the edge off turning it into just a headache but it didn't take it away. I went to my Doctor and was giving an injection Imitrex and giving prednisone neither did anything, I went back to the doctor and was given Esgic that I almost didn't bother to get filled but the headache was still to much to deal with so after I took 1 pill my headache went away I could not believe it worked when nothing else helped. I also had blood work and a CT scan both that came back negative, so I have continued to take Esgic when required whenever I get a really bad headache or migraine."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Wow what a Positive experience,  I ate a soft diet two days before and an all liquid diet on the day before ( as directed ) My first drink at 4 p.m. went sown so easy, there was so little (5oz) it was nothing to get down. With-in 45 mins. I was off and running. No Cramping, No pain at all. at 10 p.m. I drank cup number two, began working right a way still no cramping or any other issues. it was off to bed and the next day off to the Doctor.  Very clean and great experience,,, well as great as this type procedure can be..."


"I have cPTSD, serious depression, anxiety and I also suffer from Fibromyalgia.  I will never get off of Effexor, because it works and the withdrawal symptoms scare me to death.  I would only suggest  Effexor as a last resort and only for someone with long term issues because of the withdrawal problems.  Effexor is a lifetime commitment but it works so that's ok with me.  I did try other medications and honestly, the one thing I have learned to test if an antidepressant is going to work is if after a week of taking it whether there is sexual dysfunction or not.  I wish it helped me more with the Fibro but it is so worth it for the anti-anxiety.

I can buy 90 days of generic at Costco for under $40 and that is cheaper than my insurance copays"


"I have put on 4 stone in last 2 and half years with mental health meds.  Been on Orlistat for one week and also cut out sugar. So far I have lost 3lbs. I am  delighted and going to keep going with both strategies. Desperate to get back into my beautiful clothes."


"So I'm still currently on NR. And I'm not sure how I feel about it, I'm finding that I'm alot more dry, harder to get turned on and really not wanting to have sex in general. I also feel like I'm having crazy mood swings angry ones. Since starting this form of birth control my relationship has ended because I'm to angry (he says which I kind of agree with) I feel depressed constantly I can't stop crying ever. And I'm normally a very happy go luck kinda gal. Not sure what to do at this point if I should take it out or see how it goes..."


"I became overweight after having 3 children in 3 years. Ironically though, I did eat pretty well and I did exercise 5 times a week doing cardio at the gym, but I was still around 185lbs. I could never stick to diets because they made me more obsessed with food than before. The extra weight stayed around and my youngest son was 7 years old. I was miserable because of my weight! Every time I went to buy clothes, I would leave empty handed because nothing looked right the way my body was now proportioned. I started taking this pill about 6 months ago. I am not on a diet, but it helps me not to be obsessed with food. I go off it occasionally just to make sure I will not just gain the weight back. I went from a size 12 to a size four!"


"Don't bother wasting your time with Euflexxa. I have been diagnosed with moderate osteoarthritis and Euflexxa only made my condition worse. Now I am stuck with a sore back, I can hardly bend over, my limbs have no flexibility and are sore as heck. I don't get it. The treatment did not even come close to doing what is was described as. My doctor told me that the fluid only stays in your knee about two days and then it is gone. It is not described that way on the Euflexxa web site. It says it hardens into a gel then forms a cushion between your bones. My experience is that this is NOT true. And how much am I paying for this ??? Don't bother spending your money on Euflexxa. Your money is better spent on a partial or full knee replacement."


"I had been recommended that I leave it on while I sleep I ended up with chemical burns all over my chest"


"Cervical fusion C5-C6 after a car accident in 1987.  Recent MRI show one cervical disc pressing on the spinal cord, and degeneration in remaining disks.  Constant pain varies from a low of 2 to almost a Show-stopping 10.  Most severe pain is right after getting out of bed, or low activity.  Best feeling is when exercising or doing semi-hard work.  Tramadol taken at 50mm doses 2x a day is the only pain medication that helps, aside from narcotics, which I refuse to take."


"I was given Pro-air Respiclick by my pharmacy instead of HFA shortly after it came out because they had a coupon that gave me a better price. During a bad bout of seasonal allergies I found that the Respiclick gave me little-to-no relief, even when used every 4 to 6 hours. I have used Pro-air HFA for years for similar symptoms. I'll definitely be switching back.
(BTW, a family member with COPD also tried Respiclick and found it less effective than the HFA)."


"This pill is exactly as the commercial explains, specifically for PMDD and birth control.  After reading a lot of the other reviews, I had to chime in.  For those of us who are unfortunate enough to be a mess for 3 out of 4 weeks a month, this pill is a miracle.  Insurance decided they weren't going to cover much of it (I ended up paying $20, then $40 per pack, per month) and then once I lost my insurance, I loved the effects so much and how I felt on it that I forked over $64 a month for a few months until it was just way too steep.  This pill is NOT for the casual "I just don't need a baby right now" birth control user!  It is for women with serious emotional and physical side effects related to PMS!!!"


"This medicine works great but the side effects are bad. "


"I've always been a worrier, since I was a child. I assumed it was normal because it was all I'd ever known. After a bad break up and alot of professional stress I decided to see my doctor for a "crutch" to get me through the worst of it and was fully intending for the medication to be a short term situation. I've always been against taking medication for my stress. However, in the two months I've been on Celexa I've decided I'd be more than happy to stay on it forever, as long as it keeps working. The obsessive worrying is just gone, poof! I can worry about something for a few minutes and then move on with my life. I'm happy and vibrant and I feel completely normal now. I had side effects - Yawning, sleeplessness only for the first 2 weeks"


"5 days 5 lbs down. The nausea is making me sick. I hope it goes away soon. Not sure I can handle nausea every day for much longer. DO NOT HAVE ANY ALCOHOL on Contrave. I had 2 glasses of wine in 5 hrs, vomiting all night as if it was my first time having a glass of wine."


"I was taking citalopram at 20mg and it wasn't strong enough. My doctor bumped me up to 40mg a day and it worked great. I felt good and had few if any emotional outbursts. The only side effect I disliked was that I gained weight. "


"I lost five pounds in one week. The first few days were amazing and I had bounds of energy. However I had constipation and insomnia. Then suddenly my energy disappeared and I started feeling funny and getting strange headaches. After almost passing out I rush to the dr and my blood pressure was extremely high along with my heart rate! This is not a drug to play around with!!"


"My doctor switched me to Sprintec-28 from Levora. I was on Levora for 10 years and still suffered from mild/severe acne. Once I switched to Sprintec, within 3 months my skin cleared up! If you continue daily face care, including washing your face daily with mild cleansers and moisturizers, acne will subside."


"I've been using NR for 6 years.. I love it. I've tried yaz and some other types of pills hated that you had to take them at the same time each day. This is much more convenient.. I get my period right on time and then take it out . . Simple. It doesn't do anything different to me such as acne or weight gain. But that depends on the person more than the contraceptive .. The best way to put it in ... Use a tampon applicator ( take out the tampon) place the ring in the applicator (bend the ring) and put it in as if it was a tampon. I've heard of it coming out during sex but I've never experienced this nor have I ever had it slip out or go missing. Highly recommended:) :) unfortunately it is pricey however. :("


"After taking 2mg of Livalo for 3 weeks, I experienced several side effects, so much so, I am no longer taking any statin.  Severe muscle pain and weakness and joint pain, flu like symptoms but no fever, even though I felt like I had a fever.  Slight cough, runny nose and extreme lower abdominal pain. Then came the chills.  That's it.
I have experienced muscle weakness and pain on other statins, so my body knows better and I'm listening to it."


"I was diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc ,  in Oct. 2014 it had metastasized into my right humerous, after radiation and chemo the cancer went into remission,  so I was put on Tarceva 150  it's been typical side effects, face rash ,diarrhea,  tired all the time,,
but I have had 3 pet scans at 3 months apart all negative. I am a 52 year old man,  non smoker"


"Feeling depressed, cried first thing I woke up."


"My friend started using this medicine over a week ago. She was always achy and tired and went to bed early. She could barely move or walk.  She tells me that in less than a week, she can stay up till 10pm now (instead of 7), and work in her garden and actually move around. She said she's a new person and still can't believe the difference.  For her, it's been magic."


"It's amazing. Works better than Xanax or other anxiety because its situational and you only take it when you need it and it doesn't put you to sleep. It's also amazing for those days you want to go to the pool and not obsess over anxiety of swimsuits in public. A life changer."


"I took Gianvi for about a year for my PMDD. Since doing it I noticed a very uplifting change in my mood and irritability. I was no longer aggressive and I didn't burst into tears at least once a day before my period so that is a definite improvement. I went off of it, changed it to Loryna and then changed back to Gianvi. Right now I have horrible cystic acne from switching around my medicine but it works wonders on my hormones which to me is the important part."


"So I've had this since February 2016 and it is now August 1 2016. I feel bad that lots of people have had bad experiences. Mine has been great. My period was wicked heavy, lots of painful cramps to the point where I couldn't go to school. Headaches so bad I couldn't see. Now since then my period have been so light that I don't need to wear anything. Irregular and absent at times but that alright I have a period tracker to help with that. Slight slight cramps. And no pregnancy. I recommend it !"


"Keppra seemed to stop my seizures for my mild epilepsy however the side effects were so bad that I stopped taking it after 3 weeks. The worst side effect was suicidal depression. Prior to taking Keppra I did not suffer depression. I'm back on Epilim now."


"I've taken this pill for about 2 weeks and so far. My acne has cleared up significantly, I've actually lost weight but my breast size went up by a cup size and my moods have evened out a lot. My boyfriend noticed the difference immediately."


"I had stage 2 grade A IDC with trace evidence in sentinel node, I've been on tamoxifen for 5 years with 5 years left to go.  I currently have the following side effects; hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, fatigue, blurred vision, hair loss, hair thinning, hypertriglyceridemia, bone and joint pain, and can not tolerate drug brand changes, and have had to have a total hysterectomy."


"My issue is anxiety.  I have tried Effexor, Lexapro, Prozac, and finally Cymbalta.  Last month, I told my doctor I was done with these medications.  I was willing to live with the anxiety because the uncontrollable weight gain was making me depressed.  He listened and prescribed a very low dose of Cymbalta.   Thank you so MUCH.  I feel so much better.  I am finally able to lose weight without trying.  Before, I could not convince myself to even diet for one day. It was impossible. Never an issue prior and now thankfully I have control over my eating.  I was always ambivalent about everything.  Now things impact me within reason.  I don't obsess but I still care."


"I have been taking Cyclobenzaprine for over 30 years (when I need it -not often) I have great results. I can't figure out why Doctors prescibe Pain Medication 3 times a day. Many people can't function on that much dose Tramadol, Hydrocodone. Many Pain Medications can work well once or twice a day. I wish Doctors would prescribe pain medictions once or twice a day then increase it if necessary. I never take Pain Medicine more then once a day and only in severe pain for short times, If you feel drugged up on your pain medications try cutting it down and see if it still works (But always Contact your Doctor first before changing anything with your pain medications or any medications your Doctor prescribes). I hope Everybody likes My Comment."


"Well I said I would be back :) I check this too much anyway! I'm now on my second month about to start my third week tomorrow. I am pretty sure my body noticed that I was going on a higher dose of estrogen because I broke out. I have been broken out around the cheeks but I just broke out on my forehead :'( the biggest thing about this medicine is the depression and even bigger the anxiety. I still have sex drive... but my anxiety is unbearable!!! I can't think straight. I can't relax even though I try. I'm staying on it obviously seeing as it hasn't even been 3 months yet and I would do just about anything to have acne not a problem. I start school in the second week of August.. please wish me luck!"


"After one year of fairly significant ulcerative colitis symptoms, I began taking Lialda. It began working almost immediately. Within a week I started feeling like my old self again. The only changes I've noticed (unsure if they are side effects or new problems??) are tingling in my legs (like restless leg syndrome), sinus issues, sore throat and trouble falling asleep. "


"I had an increase in energy as compared to the Lexapro I was taking before this. I am struggling with periodic diarrhea, ongoing severe migraines and some stomach distress."


"I've been on Effexor XR going onto 3 years. I started at 37.5mg and am now on 150mg. I find that the body builds a tolerance to it and the dose needs to be increased. It does help my social anxiety almost completely but I still get moments of general anxiety, not anything like they used to be premedication. The only side effect I get is hot flashes. Also when you come down with a cold or flu, there's really nothing you can take except Tylenol for fever and pain due to drug interactions"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I was on Loloestrin Fe for about 4 years before switching to Beyaz. I loved Loloestrin, but randomly started breaking out all over my neck and chin. After trying every topical solution out there I finally decided to switch pills, although I was terrified of gaining weight. I'm now on my second month of Beyaz and it has literally been the best thing to ever happen to me. I broke out pretty bad at first but my acne has DRAMATICALLY improved. I actually lost weight, my libido is up, and no dramatic mood swings. The only thing is is that I've been spotting between my periods but that's expected the first couple months. Also, I'll have random nausea but it quickly goes away. Everyone's different but give Beyaz a try! It may change your life."


"I had my GERD under control though diet with only occasional heart burn. A scope found that I was still experiencing erosive esophagitis so the doc put me on 40 mg pantoprazole. I can now eat just about anything but I'm still very sensitive to spicy foods and fatty foods. I'm considering decreasing the dosage to 20 mg to see if it still works."


"I had pimples all over my forehead, cheeks, chin, everywhere! They weren't so noticeable but they were there! I went to the dermatologist about a week or two ago and I'm so glad I did! My dermatologist gave me this cream to use in the morning and my acne is already starting to fade completely! It does tingle a little but I feel that's when it's working! I've tried a lot of other creams but this one works best and fast!"


"I have never posted a review but, I wanted to let people know out there that you don't have to be afraid to take this if you need to. I am one of those who always Googles medicine reviews and I scared myself half to death with the horrible reviews on this antibiotic. So worried that I almost didn't take it. Well, I'm glad I did. It took away my UTI that was going into my kidneys and I had absolutely NO side effects. Yes, everyone is different and some people will have bad effects from it but, I am very sensitive to medications and I had no issues whatsoever. Always be sure to take it with food and just let it do it's job!"


"I was given Toradol via IV in the ER to relieve pain from kidney stone attack and it worked wonders for me! It made the pain go away completely within about 20 minutes and didn't make me feel doped up or sick to my stomach. I also didn't experience any side effects from it."


"I have been using 70 mg Vyvanse and it was working perfectly for a month, in fact, it still works.  The problem is that my blood pressure, which was perfect, went up 30 points in a month and now I'm at risk for high blood pressure. Also, I lost weight which I must gain back now.  I'm only 16 and this is bad. I'm lean and athletic and have never had any health issues until this. Besides all of this, I really like Vyvanse and hopefully won't have to stop taking it."


"So far so good at 8mg of Atacand."


"In 1981 I had severe heel pain and was living in Germany.  I was prescribed a topical gel called Rheumone gel. It worked great. I had occasion to use it several times while we lived there. When I got back to the States, no luck in finding it. Then, about 6 months ago my daughter was prescribed Voltaren Gel. Hurrah! It is made in Germany by the same company as the Rheumone gel. It smells the same and works the same.  My doctor has prescribed it to me for the arthritis and pain. It does a wonderful job."


"I'm from the UK, I start saxenda on 19th May. So just over a week. I increased the dose from 0.6 to 1.2 on Friday. Previously had no side effects, but now finding I'm waking in the morning with nausea and heartburn, and all I've had is water. Only lost 4.4lbs in just over a week. Feel like it's not working. I have found that my mouth is constantly dry, always drink water. Has anyone else had anything similar?"


"I took zoloft for anxiety and depression. Helped with anxiety but didn't touch the depression. So I started taking wellbutrin SR and now I'm at 150 mg all together per day. I'm glad because I don't think about suicide but I can't be fully happy and hopeful yet. Getting there though."


"So I wish I came here before I went to pharmacy! I bought the 3 day with hopes of immediate relief. A few minutes after inserting I could feel the burn and irritation. It's causing more discomfort than the actual yi! The burn  is comparable to a hair relaxer that sets your scalp on fire."


"This helped during oral surgery but made me sleepy...it did not help at all post surgery for rotator cuff surgery and gave me migraines. I felt like a zombie and had lucid dreams."


"This works GREAT! I would recommend it to anyone. I love how I have to keep taking Xanax throughout the day. I've been taking it for 3 months now."


"I'm half way through my third pack and my face has been continuously breaking out so bad since I started taking Apri. My complexion is literally better off it, rather than on it. However, it has helped my periods but if my skin is still bad after I finish this pack, I'm switching to a different pill."


"Absolutely horrible. I bled for 50 days straight and the only reason I stopped dripping blood was because I had it taken out. It caused never ending BV and yeast infections despite endless antibiotics and medications. I was miserable."


"I've been suffering from endometriosis for over 5 years now. I have tried so many different medicines to help relieve the pain I have on a daily basis. My gyno prescribed Lortab ES for me 6 months ago and it has been a miracle for me. I take only as directed by my doctor and luckily haven't experienced any negative side-effects. Thanks to Lortab I can finally have some of my life back."


"This medication worked for my first acute gout flare, although I was prescribed a low dose 0.3 twice a day because of it's toxic property. Later I discovered 1.2 for first dose then 0.6 an hour later then prophylactic use until flare up was under control.  The side effects where mainly bowl related. It was probably a good idea to start with a low dose, but did not get relief until I had to start the dose over with 1.2 then 0.6."


"Took Levaquin for prostatitis. Didn't work and my Achilles tendons are very sore."


"Helpful BUT it tastes TERRIBLE I absolutely hate the taste I would rather receive it through an injection than how I have to take it but my psychiatrist told me that it is okay to swallow it with a drink instead of the manufacturer directions also it is kind of like false advertising because it says that it tastes like black cherry but it does NOT at all when I was 5 I accidentally ate a small amount of poop and from what I remember it tastes almost exactly the same."


"It has helped decrease the number of migraines, but it certainly is not perfect."


"I had Nexplanon inserted 3 months ago. I've since had it removed and went back to the pill. To start, I had spotting for 3 wks and then it stopped. However, sex caused the spotting to return for wks. Spotting was the least of my worries as far as side effects. This implant caused great turmoil in my life - mental and physical. In 1 month, I felt irritable and anxious.  The highs/lows of my mood swings left me feeling like I was losing my mind. Insomnia kicked in and signs of depression emerged. I had no motivation or energy. I'm a runner and 2 months after insertion, I began experiencing headaches after a workout. I relied on Advil and sleep aides to deal. I had my doc take it out after 3 months. My life is back to normal now!"


"I started taking phentermine February 10th.  I have lost 4 lbs and for me - that's a huge accomplishment.  This is my second time taking this.  The first time I was not successful and I believe it is because I did not exercise when I took it....This time I am working out everyday.  I actually find that I have to force myself to eat....My goal is to lose 25 lbs...."


"Started taking Lisinopril after 10 years of Valsartan....for migraine prevention and high blood pressure. 10 MG once at night before bed. Works well for BP.  Side Effects: A slightly higher tendency to cough/tickling in the throat. *Vivid dreams - No doubt about it - much more vivid and memorable dreams. *Migraines - I have been a migraine sufferer for much of my life. I didn't know that Lisinopril was used for migraine prevention until after being on the it for well over a month and commenting to my wife that my migraines had suddenly stopped. That feature alone, aside from blood pressure reduction, would be worth taking this medicine."


"Rheumatoid Arthritis for 22 years. Misdiagnosis when disease presented, 6 years of damage until correct diagnosis. Damage not able to be reversed. Taking ENBREL. I have tried REMICADE, was in trials for ORENCIA, but ENBREL seems to be the one that works better for me."


"Just took it for the first time today , use to use Maxalt. This drug completely knocked me out - so sleepy and tired not to mention feeling very weird. It's been 7 hours and I feel not great . Headache gone but left with fatigue and dizziness. Back to maxalt ."


"I've had my implanon since june 2010, and I am getting my new one next week. I had it put in after my second daughter and she is 3 yrs old and it's been great. Only thing I can say is the first couple of months your period may act a little crazy but after that once a month very light periods."


"I've had this for over 1 year and a half.. I was thinking of keeping it and getting new one once my 3 years hits. I don't normally have my period. Maybe every 2 months for a week. Pretty good, I love it and it doesn't bother me at all. The only downside is I have a scar on my arm."


"I have went many yrs thinking I was not depressed. My symptoms were anxiety, mood swings and irritability and low energy. Other Drs tried antidepressant s and they always made me tired.  Lamotrigine has truly shown me that it was depression. I have a much better mood and sense og calmness plus a little motivation boost!"


"I have been on Xulane for nearly 6 months. I was on a pill before I used this patch. The pills weren't good for me because I would simply forget to take them! Here I am now 6 months later with scars & blisters on my arms & legs where the patch was located. It is absolutely terrible & I don't recommend it at all! Every body is different but if you are sensitive to adhesive products this isn't for you! & also they don't stay on for a week they usually fall off so be careful!!"


"I have been on Contrave for 4 months and I am so happy with the results.  I have lost a total of 62lbs.  I will continue to take this pill until I reach the goal that I happy with."
