"I was put on Biaxin 3 days ago for sinus infection, bronchitis, ear infection and upper respiratory tract infection, and have the most horrible taste in my mouth. The 1st night I got up several times just to brush my teeth to get rid of the taste. I called the Doctor today and he is calling in something else. "


"I took Terazosin for hyperhidrosis induced by Clomipramine .

It was very helpful for my problem ."


"Love BEYAZ.  I was taking YAZ and LOVED that too.

I do have breast tenderness with this pill and haven't with other pills in the past.  I still give it a 10 because I feel great on this pill."


"My 6 year old son has been on this medicine for 3 1/2 years. He has had some side effects such as overeating. He craves corn and strawberries like you wouldn't believe. He eats can after can of corn and crates of strawberries. At least it's healthy food, he isn't overweight. He also started having symptoms of ADHD and Autism (behavior problems). Most ADHD medication does not go with Depakote. We got the seizures under control only to have other problems. Also, you should ask your doctor to do blood checks every 3 months to rule out any other complications from this medicine."


"After surgery on my knee, my doctor prescribed this to supplement the Norco 7.5/325 I was already taking and still not able to sleep from the constant pain. Perhaps it is my metabolism, I do not know. I only know it did not work for me."


"I am claustrophobic and required an MRI.  The one tablet I took prescribed by my dr. Helped me get through this 1 hr 45 min process.  I am grateful."


"Little to no relief for knee pain!"


"I'm in the middle of the process right now!  I didn't find the taste all that unpleasant.  I drank it all at the same time which MIGHT have been a mistake because I then had trouble drinking the additional water (but I DID drink it).  I just figured it would be best to get it all down in one shot.  It began working in around 30 minutes and I've already gone to the bathroom at least six times.  With each bathroom trip, everything is lighter in color and clearer which I suppose is the goal.  I'm just now feeling that I won't be going much longer...it has been 1 hour and 45 mins since I started the prep.  I've not experienced pain or nausea.  Although I admit I'm not looking forward to doing this again tomorrow morning.  :)"


"I've been on and off diazepam a few times over the last 10 years. The latest is for alcohol withdrawal and it is an absolute God send. I haven't had a drop of alcohol since I got the latest prescription and my appetite has increased and I'm sleeping much better. I was prescribed 30mg a day and haven't needed the full dose most days."


"Taking for GERD after throat surgery. Has quelled my heartburn more effectively than any OTC I've taken in years. Most noticeable side effects are constant, constant gas (!!!) and lots of stomach growling if I hold it in. Feel like I'm having more frequent and more urgent BM's as well. Also, an expensive med! That being said, it works well."


"I've started on this medication yesterday for a pinched nerve  down from my back to my leg and I am feeling much better already but I am now having bad headaches almost feeling like a migraine"


"I had a stroke that likely was a series of mini-strokes. It left me with difficulty walking and with sensation on my right side. My cholesterol was 7.9 and in the hospital they got it down to 4.3. I was told it needs to be even lower because of my hypertension and difficulty with movement that makes it hard for me to exercise and move around. Lack of exercise and a low budget means I cannot afford fresh fruits and veggies most of the time so my diet is not as healthy as my doctor would like. One good thing though, I eat a salad a day sans dressing. Its not much but all I can afford. I am getting oatmeal next pay and little by little trying to change the way I eat but it is difficult. Crestor works but the side effects worry me."


"Before I went to get the insert I wondered through this page to find out how good it was and some women scared me about the actual insert. But when I went the only thing that hurt was the measuring of the uterus and that's it!!!!! But I was on my first day of my period when I went which made it a lot less painful during the procedure. The reason for this is because your cervix is already softened(dialated) and is easier to put the iud in(which makes it less painful lol)I only had it for 3 days now and the only thing is my cramps are a little bit more crampy. But if anyone is ready to get paragard she should go on her period . I know it sounds gross but trust me..you will barely feel any pain and taking some medicine for the cramps will help"

"I had acne since age 13 and I am now 39. I also have Rosacea. I was one of the first patients my doctor prescribed Aczone to when it first came out, as nothing else was working. For the first six weeks, my acne got much worse, then it started to clear. It was amazing. Like others have said, my mild scars and severe oiliness improved. My doctor added Metrogel and Doxycycline for the Rosacea, and my skin looks great now! I no longer use any foundation makeup and I used to use a lot.

I would advise new users to give Aczone some time to work. It really brought out a bad breakout at first and I was quite upset with how bad it looked but I went to their website and it said that is to be expected so I stuck with it."


" I think I much like the other people on this site who are up at 4 am still trying to go to sleep. It didn't help my cough at all. It actually made it worse. I've had really bad anxiety all night and probably won't sleep for the next 5 days."


"Worked really well for a few months.  I felt amazing. But I have been getting really angry and having horrible nightmares that make my blood pressure skyrocket.  I'm only on 20mg.  It just seems odd that it took so long for these side effects to appear. I thought I had found my mirivle drug, but I guess not.

For those of you who need help with the expense of the drug, go download a card from the drugs website. Free then $20 a month."


"I started taking Xulane when my insurance stopped covering Ortho Evra. The first month was fine, no side effects, irritation or pregnancy scares or anything but then the second month I started experiencing nausea, cramps, my period was late and then I had the absolute worst depression and even started losing touch with reality. I thought I was going crazy but since I stopped it, I've felt completely fine. Did prevent me from getting pregnant but the mood swings were not worth it anymore, will have to move onto the pill."


"I was put on this medication because I suffer from endometriosis related pain as well as extremely irregular periods (I had about 3-5 periods a year versus once a month). I can happily say that I no longer double over in pain, it's still uncomfortable but not unbearable, my periods are also much more consistent. However, I have noticed mood swings that I have never had a problem with before, as well as more than normal breakouts (mostly around my chin and cheeks). I also experienced a bit of nausea the first couple months I was taking it, eating right before you take it helps a lot. Overall it did what my doctor and I set out to initially do, but it does have some side effects i'm not thrilled about."


"I have been using Stadol Nasal Spray for at least 15 years.  It is the best migraine medication for me that is out there.  However, my doctor has recently stopped prescribing it for me because the State Drug Board or whatever they are called started giving him a hard time for prescribing it for me.  I suffer migraines at least two times (if not more) a week and am really suffering without it.  Nothing else works.  The only bad side effect is some stomach discomfort at first, but it goes away as your body gets use to it.  My Doctor knows I need it but his hands have been tied.  "


"I was really sick for a week and went in to see my doctor for cough that was uncontrollable. He first prescribed amoxicillin. That did not help with my cough. Then I was prescribed Tessalon Perles and it seemed to work. I was having itchiness all over my body. Also welts. I then realized it was the Tessalon Perles that was doing it. I stopped taking them. Now I don't itch but still have a cough."


"This drug worked miracles for me.  I'm in my mid-30s and never had anxiety problems until about a year ago. I finally went to a doctor about it.  He prescribed me Klonopin and Lexapro.  I was skeptical about what a drug would do since my anxiety was so extreme, but, after a couple days on Klonopin it wiped all of the anxiety away and I was back to normal.  I definitely recommend it."


"I had unprotected sex January 1. 11 hours later took the pill.
Jan 1-Jan4 (4 days I had nausea and felt hot but no fever)
Jan4-Jan10 (I had bleeding) it was a light period.
Jan 11-13 ( I had sore breasts, nausea, heartburn, fatigue, peeing constantly, my face broke out with three pimples and Im not even a teen anymore...And I hardly got pimples when I was a teen :( )
My period should be around January 22. So I still have to check for a pregnancy test. So far I feel pregnant. This heartburn and nausea is intense. And I can't bare to stay awake"


"Excellent and fast working. It does what its suppose to do."


"I got my nexplanon put on Feb 2 2017 and since then I been on and off bleeding I hate it hurts and I just want it to stop. My libido is still high but I can't have sex because of the bleeding"


"Medication worked well...however I could not open the bottle. I had to use plyers and a screwdriver to open the lid. I would recommend an easier to open bottle."


"My son suffered from allergies for years. I tried allergy shots, Benadryl and every pill in the market. Nothing work. The only pill that helped him was Benadryl but he will get very sleepy. I started using Nasacort and he hasn't had allergies for over 6 months! I am so happy! Great product !"


"I was prescribed this medicine for panic attacks, anxiety and difficulty falling asleep.  I initially started with Xanax, but Clonazepam was offered as a better, longer-acting, less habit-forming alternative. It has been very helpful to me. I am a big person (250lbs), and was prescribed 1/2-1 mg as needed. I've taken one almost every night during this rough patch (3 weeks). It takes a good hour or so for it to kick in for me, but when it does, I get drowsy and get a good night sleep. 1/2 pill didn't do too much for me, though. 1 does well, and 1.5 seems even better."


"Five years ago, I was close to suicidal with pain and found a superb pain management doctor.at the Beth Israel Pain & Palliative Care Unit in NYC. I HIGHLY recommend them. Recently, I began to feel pain again of the acute variety (am always in some chronic pain), Said to my husband, "it is as if this drug is not working at all". Went today for my regular two month check-up and told my doctor. He nodded and told me that MANY of his patients no longer get relief with Oxycontin as the new formula (meant to keep abusers from crushing it) does not work well in ER form. I had not had to use more than the same dose for 5 years, and was in relative comfort, given my disability, and now I have to try a higher dosage or change medication. "


"The whole point of Belviq is that it is supposed to suppress one's appetite. Of course to really lose more weight everything you wrote factors in. You missed the point with many reviewers.....Belviq is not suppressing their appetite, like "oh, I have to make myself eat", etc.
That said, I have been on Belviq for 3 days. I take 10mg x 2 a day. I have not noticed a decrease in appetite at all. I'm still hungry in the am and pm. Bummer. No side effects either. I started at 177 lbs and just wishing my appetite would relax where I could say "oh, I have to make myself eat".
Also, I printed up the coupon from Belviq.com and paid $85.00 instead of $257.00."


"This brand makes me nauseous, sluggish,  I feel very disconnected and unfocused"


"Hey all! I've seen where some people have mentioned the cost of Strattera. I have insurance and my copay was still $45. I actually got online and googled Strattera discount cards and my pharmacy let me use it on top of my insurance. My prescription ended up being free and I can still get a discounted price each month so I'm pretty stoked!

"


"The absolute best formula, with NMDA Receptor Antagonist Properties for Pain such as severe chronic pain management, For a Severe case of RSD/CRPS My dose was 3 1/2 Diskettes twice daily..dissolve in water, my RSD/CRPS was going into remission thanks to the proper dosing. My feeling is they took away the diskettes to re-capitalize by doing away with this tablet and charging more for a 5 - 10 mg tablets."


"If I would be more compliant with my diet and exercise regimen, Januvia would help me stay under 6.  No noticeable side effects, although after reading other reviews, possibly the lack of sleep might be attributed to it.  I had some joint pain but I take CoQ10 and that made it go away.  Not sure if that was from Januvia or the statins.  Overall, I like it.  Can't wait until, with better compliance, I can come off these costly medicines."


"I've been on this medication since I was 9 I'm 21 now. I've always had trouble in school and it has helped me a lot to concentrate but without it I can't focus at all. I became too dependent on it so now that I am in college I cannot study or find any kind of motivation to stay focused if I'm not on it. It wouldn't be a bad thing if it didn't make me depressed. Recently in this past year I've been taking it almost every day again and have been feeling sad for no reason, always thinking negative and very irritable until I put two and two together. Now trying to get off once I am done with school next month for good."


"I have been on Phentermine 37.5 before to help me loose weight. I have weight loss surgery over 2 years ago. Lost 63 lbs. MD gave it to me to help with the last 20 lbs. Goal was 150. I have never been small, but wanted to loose the weight because of diabetes diagnosis.  I took phentermine for 3 days , couldn't tolerate the nervous side effects and gidderness. I tried to decrease it to half a tab, but it didn't seem to help with my appetite.  I have gain approx 10 pounds back, tried to loose it without any luck. I thought I would try Phentermine again, but too afraid to because of the nervous feelings. "


"Just got mine yesterday, and I wasn't prepared for how painful it would be. I got it because I have chronic migraines worsened by hormones, but don't trust condoms alone. I never had kids, and it was so painful I threw up about 4 times over the day. Today was much much better, still some cramping with high activity and I took it easy all day. Guess I will wait for the period to give full judgement."


"Paranoia still existed on this medication not very effective for that but calmed my anxiety. I'm on 3mg it makes me a zombie and motivation less."

"Like others here I have been using Drixoral for years. I am now finding it harder to find in drugstores. I live in Canada and have never seen it in USA when I go for visits . PLEASE the people who own this company. NEVER STOP SELLING IT. I have been using it for as long as I can remember it been available and have told others about this product. They all agree it works fast and IT WORKS."


"My son was put on this med at age 14 after being pre diagnosed as no-polar. Then diagnosed with juvenile depression. Anxiety disorder. Trouble sleeping. Joshua had bad mood swings. He was only to take this once a day. At bedtime. It only made him so tired he won't get up in the morning. Did nothing for his anxiety or depression."


"This birth control is terrible. I've never had acne before in my life, and now after taking this for almost 2 months I have acne on my entire face, and also on my back. I have also gained 6 pounds, and this pill effects me emotionally very much. Since taking this pill I now have bad social anxiety, and constantly find myself tearing up for no reason at all. I am genuinely a happy person, and this birth control constantly has me feeling anxious or sad. Only positive of this is it has prevented pregnancy like it's main purpose. I am now switching to a new brand."


"I have had experience with gout since1975.  Anyone with similar experience knows by now the pain gout inflicts.  There were early periods when my use of allopurinol was intermittent.  This proved to not resolve the problem for me.  Sine 1977, my daily use of allopurinol has resolved the problem.  Hopefully others have had similar relief."


"I can only speak FOR Nexium. It has literally changed my life for the better. I was fighting with GERD now for the past three years of my life. Terrible years, constant heartburn, increasing chest pains, I would wake up in the middle of the night and have my lungs full of acid. Then I could not lay back down because the acid taste would just make me even sicker. I was taking all kinds of acid blockers and nothing really worked. Then I finally tried Nexium and from day one it has changed EVERYTHING for the better. My heartburn is gone, completely. No more reflux, heartburn, chest pains, nothing. It is amazing. I had only slight side effects on day 2 but they went away and now I am just perfectly well. Amazing. Thank you!!"


"I suffer from high anxiety and manic depression. I have had trouble getting to sleep for years and sometimes would go days without sleep causing insomnia on top of everything I deal with making me feel like I'm going nuts. After being up 3 days straight I broke down told my doctor I needed something to help me sleep and be gave me zaleplon. I thought sure why the hell not, worst thing that could happen is it doesn't work right? Turns out it not working was the worst thing that happened. Not only did the crap not work but I stayed up a 4th night waiting for it to make me tired. I might as well have taken nothing. At least with nothing you're not anticipating things that won't come. Man, benadryl works better than this. Waste of time and money"


"Naproxen works pretty well, except that it tends to wear off well before the next dose is due. It works for about 8 or 9 hours and then begins wearing off."


"I took Bactrim for about 1 year and did not get a single breakout during that time. Really works wonders for skin. Now I have been on the maintenance dose to carry on the good work."


"Took this med for 4 days. It made me dizzy and tired all the time. On the third night I started to have nightmares, which I never had before. So on to another med to try for my pain."


"This is horrible. Never in my life I felt like this ever. I think I am going to die. mMy goodness!!!!"


"I have been on it since I was diagnosed in May of 2007. Started with 1 x 500mg and was increased to 2 x 500mg in 3 months. No problems so far."


"51yo healthy female. Minor pre menopausal signs periodic mood swings, tiredness. Prescribed Paxil 10 mgs. Severe bouts of exhaustion, heart palpitations, breathing anomalies, sexual disfunction, felt like zombie. Slept 2 days. Quit meds day 6. 16 days from quitting feel horrible. Severely depressed, anxious, tired, (never have felt anxious or depressed prior). Still sleep too much, experience outrageous wildly abnormal mood swings, have neglected my work, my house, my pets, my friends & exercise (was running 5 miles daily prior, now do nothing) Still experience breathing abnormalities. Better each day yet unable to function normally. Life & business in ruins, cry constantly. Nightmarish experience. Feel like I may never be the same again."


"I took 10 mg for a couple of months and started 20 mg two weeks ago"


"This medicine made me nervous all the time, I was a wreck, I could never sit still. It took away the mania and psychosis but left me suicidal and depressed so my psychiatrist stopped it."


"I have been on contrave 1 month and lost 12 lbs. My appetite is gone! I have to remind myself to eat but even then I eat very littl and put it aside. My grocery bill is down by half. Which covers the cost of the medication. As far as side effects I had mild nausea a few times during the first 2 weeks but really it was so mild and infrequent I hardly remember it. I'm shocked to read some of these reviews that express "horrible" side effects. What gives with that I can't understand. I mean we are all different but really, horrible violent nausea and vomiting? I wonder if you took it right or what other medications you are taking.  Oh well, the only side effect I can report is mild to moderate constipation easily relieved by colace. I'm HAPPY!"


"I took Chantix 5 years ago for 11 weeks. I have am still smoke free. I was fortunate in that I didn't experience any of the possible side effects. I still don't have any urges to smoke and am enjoying life as a non smoker."


"I've been on it for 3 years, and still have to take it everyday,"


"I'll agree with those who say this medication has changed their lives. It really has.  Before it came out - I couldn't do ANYTHING without needing an inhaler; after using this I knew what it was like to be "normal" -- lost 60 pounds, was able to walk distances, go up more than one flight of stairs, even jog short distances and garden (allergy/asthma nightmare before).  Now as a mom, I WOULD NOT be able to keep up with my kids without this medication.  To be fair, I will say I improved even more after moving out of the "smoking home" I grew up in. "


"I was already overweight and went on Lyrica because of the tingling in my hands and feet being intolerable. Three weeks later, its like I woke up one morning and none of my clothes fit. I got on the scale and from the time my doctor gave me this pill to current and have gained over 25 lbs. It's a shame I have to decide between being obese or able to sleep and be pain free."


"I took Lexapro from 2005 until about 1 month ago.  I have suffered from depression all of my life and have had bouts of panic attacks at various times.  I got on the Lexapro starting at 10mg but quickly went to 20mg as 10mg didn't really help.  I did notice a calming effect from the standpoint of anxiety and depression.  On the downside, I have gone from 170 pounds in 2005 to 200 pounds currently.  Also, during some extreme cases I took Xanax during the panic attacks to cope.
I am now trying to get off the Lexapro. I have taken 10mg for a month or two and now am about 1 month into not taking any.  The problem is, now I have had some very very almost panic attack nights and have had to take the 1mg of Xanax to help. "


"Slowly increased over the course of 5 months from 5mg to 10mg.  Its been 3 weeks on the 10 and I still feel a little uneasy at times or an intrusive thought here and there but nothing compared to how I was before I started the Lexapro.  I suffer from MMD and anxiety, symptoms being derealization and depersonalization.   Thought I was going crazy.  The medicine has helped me tremendously!  I just wonder how much longer I need to give myself on this increase........"


"Hated it!!! I was taking adderall for a year and it started making me feel anxious maybe one day a week. I was switched to this and once I started it my anxiety got really bad. I've never had a problem with anxiety and I really feel for the people that suffer from chronic anxiety! I also had a problem with dropping blood pressure (could be from adderall withdraw tho) I also had HORRIBLE mood swings. As soon as I would take it I was very negative about everything. I'm so glad to be off it now and so is my boyfriend!!"


"I have been on this for 2 years.  It has shrunk my enlarged prostate so I no longer have discomfort, and I urinate a little less often at night.  Most importantly, I am able to postpone prostate reduction surgery.  Sexual side effects same as others have noted.  Now developing some breast tenderness.  I take this with an alpha blocker as well."


"I've had my implant for 7 months and It has done nothing but make me gain weight. Love the no monthly deal.. but hate this weight gain!!"


"It works great, I feel great, no side effects."


"I got Implanon implanted in November 2013. It is now April 2014. I LOVE this product. The only side effect I had was that I bleed for almost 3 months straight. But now I am having periods less than once a month. It seems like it is going to stop all together. The heavy bleeding to start is normal, your body has to sort out the new hormones. I had been on the pill for about 10 years. I switched because of the effectiveness of this product and I got tired of taking pills. I will get this product again when the 3 years are up."


"I am on my 4th day on Chantix. My doc put me on .5mg twice a day right away. Then to take it for a week and on the 7th day go up to 1mg twice a day and then quit. The first day I felt really strange. Now, I have been having terrible insomnia, bloating, gas, diahrea, and depression-or just don't feel like doing a thing. My dreams have been so cool. But I always have cool dreams. But I can feel my urge to smoke going bye-bye. Will see how it goes."


"I made the mistake of reading all of these reviews right before going in to get my IUD inserted TODAY. Yes, it hurts when it goes in and for about 1-2 minutes afterwards when I just needed to lay down and focus on my breathing. After that though, it felt like mild menstrual cramps (which I already expected because it's day 2 of my period) and advil worked fine.

Perhaps I'm speaking too soon, but so far it's really not as bad as these reviews. It also helps to have an awesome doctor who can get that thing inside in under 10 seconds. Mine did, and he didn't even numb my cervix. We're all strong women... this is nothing for us!"


"I was taking Lutera and doing great with it. My pharmacy made me switch because Lutera was being discontinued. I am on my third week of this medication and have not been feeling well. I have been moody and agitated and feeling as if I am in a fog. "


"I've had high Bp for 20 years and controlled it with exercise, karate, but finally went to Dr with buzzing in my ears, my Bp was 260/160. Olmetec brought it down to 120/70 in a few days, after a workout my Bp is 90/60. I've been taking it for a month now and feel so relaxed, like chilled out all the time. But arms and legs feel like lead when working out and I tire real easy but I knew taking Bp meds would do this, but at 260/160, that was too risky. Many comments here I agree, sex drive goes to zero, feeling of lethargy but the drug works. I did try coversyl first and that had absolutely no affect on me."


"I was just like you girls, reading these reviews, terrified that plan B had failed. THIS DRUG WORKS!!! Had sex with my boyfriend June 18th, at around midnight-1am. The condom broke and we got plan b 6 hours after. My only initial side effect was nausea. I have a really irregular cycle(sometimes I have a 29 day cycle, sometimes 38) and I had no idea if this pill would make my period come early or late. My period came a MONTH later on full force. But I had side effects from the pill in between that time- tender breasts, mood swings, sore nipples, dizziness, etc. I was on day 45 of my cycle when I noticed brown discharge, then it got heavier and turned into a period. Don't be scared, this pill works, I promise!! I had a very late period!"


"I have been using Aviane for almost a year now and I would have to say that the only side effects I noticed was my skin has been a little bit more oily and I get 3 to 4 days of spotting before my regular period. Because of this the doctor is making me switch to Ortho Tri Cycen Lo, hopefully I don't run into any problems but I don't even want to switch. I love Aviane."


"I've been on Aviane for a little over a year now and I love it! No negative side effects and my breast size has increased. Great sex drive, no mood swings, normal periods and no babies yet! I'd highly recommend this pill!"


"I took Cymbalta for about 6 months for clinical depression. Although it helped the depression a lot, I couldn't stand the side effects. I lost about 20 lbs (I'm already underweight), I started having almost constant migraines, and all I wanted to do was sleep.  It was hard to get through work because I was so tired.  Then on my days off, I would only wake up to make dinner for my husband, then I'd be back in bed."


"I have been on Suboxone & generic Suboxone for about 2 years. I was paying $300  a month for the generic tabs. This type of drug is a miracle for getting you away from a terrible lifestyle immediately! The Suboxone, I feel is hard on your teeth and the taste is bad for most people. Today is my first day on Zubsolv, I now have insurance and monthly cost is $35!!!!! Taste is much better and it dissolves very quickly. I feel great and just saved SO much money!"


"I've been taking Loestrin 24 Fe for about 3 months now.

I tend to have occasional nausea, but nothing that's too bad. My sex drive has gone UP by a lot to the point where I feel like I'm on Viagra 24/7. I lost about 5-10 lbs since the pills make me not want to eat AT ALL (I have to force myself to eat since I could literally go days without eating now).

I do have a lot of abnormal spotting and bleeding but it could just be because I just started taking them. I did notice though, that the pills make me feel a lot more anxiety and depression but the sex drive and sex makes it go away.

Overall, this pill seems to work for me but I might be thinking of switching to a stronger pill!"


"At the 2 wk mark of taking imuran, I started having a terrible headache. My body started to ache. I couldn't get comfortable not matter what I did and I had trouble sleeping. I had a fever, I had chills and I sweated worse than being at the gym.  My urine was golden dark yellow and my skin was pale.  I was tested for the flu which was negative and my blood test results were normal (as normal as can b for a lupus patient). My dr thought I had a virus but told me to stop taking the imuran. Within a little over 24 hours, the headache started going away, the urine went back to normal color and my body was feeling better."


"I have been on Contrave since 11/28/15 and I have lost 9lbs. I am eating around 1200-1300 calories a day and exercising moderately. The only side effects are dry mouth, constipation and a teensy bit of nausea if I haven't eaten for awhile. I combat the nausea by making sure I'm eating 5 small meals a day as opposed to three meals and no snacking. So that's 9lbs in less than three weeks! I'm loving it! I do notice that I have no desire to drink alcohol.  I also get very sick to my stomach if I happen to overeat or eat sugar. I've always been an emotional eater, so I think this is really helping me overcome that. I am looking forwarding to see what happens at week 4 and forward!"


"I started taking Clonidine for high blood pressure before I had any hot flashes.  When I started having hot flashes I didn't think that the clonidine was helping me.  I lost 30 lbs and I started to wean myself off of the clonidine because I was getting low blood pressure readings. OMG!  I didn't realize how bad the hot flashes could be.  I am now taking the clonidine more for my hot flashes than my blood pressure. The side effects I had from clonidine are dry mouth and eyes, constipation, and feeling tired.  I use biotiene mouthwash to help with dry mouth.  The constipation is frustrating so I take flaxseed oil and fish oil and I don't eat cheese. I take my doses of .1 mg at midnight and at 3pm so I am not tired at work."


"I am just putting the pieces together today thanks to all your reviews. I was switched to this from lo loestrin fe 1/20 as a generic. I don't remember having problems before but for 2 months I've had discolored discharge, now breakthrough bleeding and mild cramps. I haven't had any period or bleeding for years. I was on microgestin and hopefully my doctor will let me go back on that. This medicine though is NOT the same as lo loestrin fe 1/20. Not even close."


"My son was put on this medication that the age of 8. The first day he was focused however he kept licking his lips and would just stare  when being spoken too . I took him Off the medication . It's not for us."


"Have been type 2 for ten years. Janumet and glipizide controlled the A1C IF I behaved with eating. A1C went up and doctor said Invokana.  I didn't like the idea of what it does - because of what I read, but doc assured me she had many many patients on it with no problems.
Tried the 100mg / day for three months. Didn't notice anything at first. Until now, I realized I had depression coming back after over 20 years on Paxil, exhausted all the time, gastrointestinal pains similar to diverticulitis, and blood review shows almost nothing (A1C 7.5 down to 7.3) BUT cholesterol went way up!
I've had no cholesterol issues for many years on a statin.
I really think that this class of drug is "wishful thinking" on the part of the drug company.  BAD"


"I have had acne all of my life. I am 30 years old and have tried EVERYTHING. I started 40mg twice daily three weeks ago and the results are amazing. My face it almost totally clear now. I am truly amazed. Excellent product."


"At first I thought Sinemet was the greatest thing ever.  I took it for two years and began to suffer all sorts of odd side effects which I didn't at first associate with the drug.  But the worst was one that nearly killed me.  I didn't even realize it was happening at first because I was having brief periods of blackout.  I'd be walking and suddenly feel as though the earth had shifted under my feet.  It finally happened while I was driving.  I snapped out of it, fortunately without hitting anyone or anything, but didn't know where I was.  I stopped taking it and all the symptoms I'd experienced disappeared."


"I have been on this for over two years for bipolar.and insomnia, with 300 mg being at bedtime.  It helps me sleep with very few side effects,  it I know lots of others who can't even take the smallest dose without problems. We all react differently, I know.  For instance some people swear by Depakote, but that stuff was a nightmare for me."


"After nearly 20 years of anxiety and depression, I am finally free.  Zoloft has improved my life beyond belief.  No more blushing, feeling uncomfortable or uneasy.  The first 2 weeks were tough (nausea, loss of appetite, trembling, etc.), but boy am I glad I stuck it out.  A 100mg pill to a new life.

I thank god everyday that I found a doctor and a medication that have given me my life back.  A night and day difference."


"I am 22, no prior children, I have endometriosis & was told Mirena was the best option. The implementation process was hell. The worst pain I have ever been in. I fainted & had to have a friend pick me up. I left it in for 10 months. Within those 10 months I'd gained 18 pounds (on a 5 foot tall person that's horrible), I was moody, had the worst cramps, hair loss, acne, horrible headaches, the appetite of a sumo wrestler, & didn't want to do anything. I felt lazy and borderline depressed. They don't tell you those side effects for obvious reasons. Yesterday I finally had it removed. Being traumatized by having it put in I about made myself sick with nerves. The removal was quick and painless and I already feel like myself again."


"I had great success with this medicine at first.  I had/have the 10 mg pills.  When I started taking it, I would use it 3-4 times per week even though I could not fall or stay asleep on the other nights.  Now I take it every night along with Xanax for insomnia and that still doesn't do the trick.  My doctor added Trazodone 50mg to the mix. I still only get about 3-5 hours of sleep.  It takes till 5 or 6 in the morning for me to fall asleep. It is slightly better than nothing at all, all 3 of the medicine's combined that is.  I am beginning to feel like I will never sleep a good nights sleep."


"I started this medication 5 days ago due to post nasal drip, phlegm coughs, runny nose... My doctor told me to take 24 hour. As far as side effects: I experienced slight insomnia...a little longer to fall asleep, my head is not quite clear, I feel a little foggy, when I need to concentrate and a little fatigue. No major side effects. The medication has helped but has not completely "cured" me. So overall, it's worked but it's not a miracle."


"I have been on lotrel for three years. I never had knee problems but never connected the medicine with the symptoms until I started searching for side effects, by others. I spoke with my doctor and he has recommended lisiniopril/hydrochlorothiazide. See if problem with knees will improve. Because knee pain is terrible!"


"This is GREAT Medicine I have been using it for a few months now due to BAD heartburn & it works great! So far I don't think I have been experiencing any negative side effects I do believe once It gave me Constipation but it could have been poor diet but Overall GREAT Medicine IF you suffer from HORRIBLE ACID REFLUX!"


"I've tried prozac, effexor, welbutrin and buspar. Cymbalta is the only med that makes me feel normal and cures my anxiety with no noticeable side effects. There is a withdrawal if I miss a dose and it involves being very sleepy,  vivid dreams and night sweats. It's not fun, but it's worth feeling normal again."


"Welp. I had high hopes for the Skyla. I needed extra help with regulating my periods without the burden of popping a pill daily. The insertion was very mild. I was bracing myself for some intense pain to send me crashing to my knees - maybe I have a high pain tolerance? Doubt it. This part was uncomfortable for sure, but not that bad.
1-3 months: nonstop bleeding. I was told this would subside after 6 weeks, for the most part, it did. But the CRAMPS! Debilitating to say the least. They were sporadic and extremely painful.
3-5 months: I noticed my skin breaking out much more than usual. And the scarring was bad!!! Cheeks, jawline and forehead. Plus my periods were 3x longer and more painful. Had it removed two days ago. Wave of relief!"


"I was taking Singulair along with Advair for several years. Did not think that it really did that much for me but the Doctor advised me to take it. Only after my sister said she stopped taking it because of leg cramps did I connect the "dots".  I had been having such terrible leg cramps but no one would say it was because of Singular. I stopped taking it and after 3  months I no longer have the leg cramps."


"Absolute best antibiotic for a tooth infection. Took as prescribed and pain was gone in 24 hours on a graduated scale. Pain was bearable within 12 hours with no pain killers."


"I suffer from depression and anxiety.  For the last 20 years, I've had counseling and been on many antidepressants; Prozac, wellbutrin, Paxil, etc.  Effexor is the first medication that has noticeably helped.   I was worried after reading all the negative reviews, but tried it anyway.   I noticed a change after the first week, and it has gotten better ever since.  Been on it for two years now and all is good in the world.  Very rarely get sad, unless there is a reason for it (death, break up, pet dying) also I used to have anxiety talking to more than one person at a time, now I can talk to a room full of people with little to no anxiety."


"I've started on 25mg and steadily increased. Now I'm taking 200mg every night! It does nothing for my pain, or anxiety and barely touches my insomnia.  I wake up 3-4 times every night with night terrors. I think next Drs. appointment she will increase my dosage even more.  I have extreme post traumatic stress disorder and have several fractures in my spine. All I know is my dosage is already higher than most of the comments I've read. And my wife is on an even higher dose than me."


"I feel 100% better! I'm having daily bowel movements & it's not just water! I'm less bloated & no stomach pains. I am still watching what I eat. I've been in Linzess before with lots of diarrhea. Now I've been on Trulance for 6 weeks!  It's working WONDERFUL!!!I would highly recommend it drug! I give it a 10"


"At 79 the hormones do not deliver the same stimulation to get started and unless there is continuous action, my erection can fade. Cialis does a great job of overcoming both of these and gives results for about two days. Been using it for about two years now."


"I took temazapam last night for the first time, only (15mg). It didn't make me very sleepy, so it took about and hour before I could fall asleep, but I was unable to wake up this morning when my alarm went off! I slept from 11 pm to 2pm the next day! Very odd."


"I started Prozac 20 mg 11 days ago, the first week I was feeling very anxious, dry mouth, numbness in my face, but that was only the first week! Now I feel so much better I can say on the 9 day I started to feel more focus, my fears went away, and today is my 11 day and I feel good just great, thanks to God and Prozac."


"I've been through 5 cycles (10 infusions) of Halaven and my PET scan showed that my stage 4 breast cancer is 2/3rds gone. I was on my death bed, literally, before I started it!  Don't know if I'll ever go into remission, but it saved me so far and I'm hopeful once more that I have some life left."


"After giving birth to my third baby, my OBGYN put me on Lutera as a low dose contraceptive to balance out my hormones as well as be a back up method of birth control since my husband was due to have a vasectomy. Unfortunately after 5 months I had to switch, as I was getting minimum two periods a month, and during the worst month I was on Lutera, I bled 22 of 29 days. Finally I gave up and switched to another pill, clearly my body and my hormones didn't sync with Lutera."


"Been on 25 mg for 5 days now. Was on Lexapro 10 mg for 6 weeks before hand. After only 5 days I already feel better on the Zoloft than I ever did in the whole 6 weeks of the Lexapro. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will keep feeling better. So far so good..no panic!"


"The 2nd / 3rd week was hell, I felt nausea, aches, cramps, and going to classes was a chore. For the next 2 1/2 months I didn't have a menstrual cycle which was worrisome because I didn't know if I had gotten pregnant of not. But then it started for three days so my fears lessened, another month without a cycle and it came around the same time as it had before. No real change in my period besides it lasts a week to a week and a half now, and then stops, It's much more irregular than when I was on the pill but I don't have it as frequently so I don't worry so much about pads or tampons every month. I'm reaching the 9 month mark and now I have an itchy bump form in the area where the implant is for two mornings but they go away after 30m-1hr."


"I felt better with in the first week, it was great for a while until I realized I couldn't really feel emotion I was a numb happy I thought it was really strange to not be able to cry or feel upset at all ever, even if i was hurt, I also had really bad migraine headaches often, but on the upside I was able to function in social situations, work, interact with my children more positively and everyone around me seems to like me a lot more when I was on it. - Oh & it's very expensive, I was on 10 mg ,27yrs old, female, took for about10 months."


"This has been a wonder drug for me when combined with Cymbalta. I have suffered for years and had been on narcotic pain killers. The pain had finally gotten so bad that even those weren't working. I work in Pre-K and didn't want to give up my job to become a disabled person living at home on pain killers. I found an awesome Doctor who understood that I didn't want to live on those types of medications. After only two visits she tapered me off of the medicines I was on and started me on Topamax along with Cymbalta. That is all I take. No more pain! Life is wonderful again."


"Unreal, changes life in a day. Has some side effects, insomnia for me, but only way to change quickly with minimal withdrawal. Becomes more mental (physical dependency is gone), I think can take a lot less than is recommended. Really it can be done with 24mg in my opinion. Was taking 5/6 30mg oxycodone, 80mg Oxycontin. Before using Suboxone I went down on the quantity of oxycodone, best argument for continuation is relapse prevention."


"Did a great job lowering viral load (18,000 to <20 in 2 months) and my CD4 has increased from 280 to 987 in the year I've been taking it.

That being said I do suffer some side effects. Insomnia and hyper-realistic dreams/nightmares. I also get dizziness, sometimes severe, about two hours after taking it. The dizziness has been largely solved by ensuring I don't eat two hours prior to my dose. Then I eat right as I take my pill. Otherwise the medicine gives me terrible heartburn.

Now that I am stabilized I am going to discuss switching to Complera to escape the side effects."


"I have had absolutely no problems with Tri-Sprintec.  I don't have any side effects at all.  No weight gain, no mood swings, no depression, no anxiety, no nausea, same sex drive.  (No increase in breast size either - I WISH I had that side effect!)   I feel exactly the same taking this as I did not taking any birth control.  The only difference is my periods are lighter and shorter, and my cramps are no longer severe.  By the way, I was really scared to take this because of the negative reviews I read!  But before you decide this is a bad pill, give it a try.  Every woman's body is different and your experience will just depend on your body!"


"I am now seizure free! I used to have 3-4 a month."


"I've never had vertigo until several days ago. My husband forced me to see a dr. after I had fallen a few times and got car sick out of the blue. The Dr told me that's what I had,  no big deal,  it will work itself out.  Prescribed zofran for the nausea and meclizine for the dizziness and lack of balance.  He warned me to not take it until I got home because it may cause drowsiness.  I took it early enough, thought I would have slept off the drowsy feeling but come to find out the side effects made me feel worse.  I went to work anyway (I didn't drive) hoping it would wear off. I felt like I was high and drowsy, floating on a cloud, couldn't concentrate or focus on my job,  was spacing out and day dreaming about nothing."


"I have been on Cymbalta for about 6 months. In this time I lost my libido completely, suffered night sweats and couldn't work out if I was hot or cold during the day. I constantly felt sick both in my head and my stomach and suffered a general loss of energy, probably due to the crazy dreams and loss of sleep. I decided to quit Cymbalta cold turkey, and suffered major brain zaps and a general feeling of unwellness. The worst thing was, I didn't realise this is why I felt so sick and it was impossible to find a doctor who would take my symptoms seriously. None of them knew anything about the drug either. I had to work it out for myself. I've lost several months trying to work out why I always feel sick."


"I've been taking Minocycline for well over a month now. It does not work instantly like a lot of people say and does take time. I am just now starting to see improvement. As for side effects, I don't believe I experienced an initially breakout and I never experienced dizziness or nausea. I am still getting breakouts quite frequently but they are not as bad or widespread as before. I've also noticed that the redness in my cheeks which had been a problem for a long time has nearly disappeared."


"This is my 4th month on chateal and I have started to notice severe depression setting in. The first 3 month I felt fine but now I feel sad all the time. I'm going to stop taking the pill and see if it is chateal or just me. Plus side to this pill for me was, no weight gain, lighter/shorter periods, did not cause breakouts, no pregnancy."


"Smooths skin, stops scaling and redness.  No side effects."


"I've been on Nexplanon for about one and a half years now. The first 6 months seemed pretty regular. I had no signs of weight gain, my periods were normal.  Everything seemed OK until about a year into it, I started noticing I was gaining some weight. I started to have mood swings and felt very depressed most of the time.  It got so bad to the point that it started affecting mine and my husbands relationship.  Not only that, but I started to gain a significant amount of weight I probably gained about 35 pounds and a good 5 to 6 months. I exercised everyday. I ate very healthy and couldn't shed a pound. I have made a appt. to have this removed."


"Would give a negative rating if it was available! Made me sick for almost two years and would not recommend to anyone. Causes copper toxicity in some people! Do your research and just because it doesn't hormones, doesn't make it a better choice (that's what I thought)! Little did I know it was poisoning my body!"


"I have been on this birth control going on my second year, I haven't noticed any weight gain, and I have had very few periods. It was the perfect solution for me because I could never remember to take my oral contraceptive this I don't have too. I am due to have this out in December of 2017 and I don't think I will get another one but it has been very nice having minimal periods"


"I started Saxenda a week ago. I have CHF and PCOS so I can't use Adipex. The first day I had bad nausea but that is the only side effect so far. It has definitely taken away my appetite. I just don't want to eat at all. Food doesn't seem appetizing anymore and I love food. I do get thirsty more often. I've lost a few pounds but this could be water weight. I'll check back in a week to give an update.

****9/10/15 update ****
I'm on the 1.8 dose now. I have occasion nausea but nothing I can't tolerate. I've lost 15lbs so far.  Still have a lack of appetite. I'm always really thristy. I like the fact that there are very little side effects. I do have to still keep on my lasix for fluid weight because I missed one day of them and gained 4lbs "


"I used to be a serious Roxy user but when my drug dealer ran out he gave me Suboxone instead.I didn't know it at the time but once I took that Suboxone it meant that I couldn't take another Roxy for at least three days after ingesting the Suboxone.Long story short,I ended up going to a doctor and he prescribed me Suboxone.They made feel good like a Roxy but without the hangover the next day after taking Roxy.I'm also going to support groups for drug addicts that are held at my doctors office once a month.I've been on Suboxone 8/2mg for eight years now and although it helps I really want to get off of them.It's so dang hard to get off of Suboxone though.Story of my life..."


"I have been taking this pill for a year, after my son was born they prescribed it to me because I was breastfeeding I lost a lot of my pregnancy weight, but within three to four months I gaming 10lbs back maybe even 20lbs. Horrible right. I didn't have a period for 7 months. Now I get irregular periods,  light periods. My doctor sent me to get a ultrasound to see what else might have been causing the irregular periods. They found something on both ovaries so my doctor is switching me from Jolivette to something else. I've had hair loss with this pill, weight gain and dramatic mood swings and out of control hot flashes. It's horrible I feel like I am having early Menopause. Oh yea also made milk supply low"


"This drug has saved me from the disease of addiction. My use of opiates was out of control and kept getting more and more dangerous. I was at the point where I was cutting up Fentanyl strips and chewing them and sucking the Fentanyl out. Fentanyl is 50x stronger than oral Morphine or Vicodin so I was def playing with fire.

Some people mentioned the Suboxone making you itchy, if this happens talk to your Doctor about a drug called Vistaril. It is a prescription strength antihistamine that they use many times for rashes or itchy skin. I have been on it for years and it  works great!"


"I have panic disorder along with Gemeralized Anxiety Disorder. Zoloft did help me for a while, but over time I noticed weight gain, emotional numbness, night sweats, and just general laziness. I didn't care for nothing! After much research I discovered that all anti-anxiety meds begin to lose their effect over time. But it did help me for the first 4yrs I took it."


"I just got my Implanon inserted yesterday. The insertion was a breeze; only felt a pinch for the lidocaine which is used to numb the area then it was over before I knew it. So far so good I will keep everyone updated."


"Such a great product. The day after my first use I had no sweat stains at all. Usually, at around 7 am, I would get these huge, embarrassing, sweat stains. Now, I had none and it was such a relief. If you are experiencing sweating problems, please, please, please use Drysol- you will get amazing results."


"On Thursday I was sneezing and getting a sore throat. On Friday morning, I woke up with a fever of 101.7 degrees, intense chest congestion & my throat felt like it was on fire. I saw the Doctor on Friday afternoon & was prescribed Tamiflu. Took 1st dose at 3 PM on Friday. 12 hours later, the fever was totally gone and the chest congestion was significantly less. Each day, the congestions reduced dramatically. After about 4 or 5 doses I developed sores in my mouth and herpes like blisters on my face so I had to discontinue taking it. Other than the side effects, I have to say the drug totally knocked out the flu within 1-2 days."


"No better ADHD drug on the planet and I have tried them all.  I started with cylert and Wellbutrin in 1997.  My life changed, I cannot even describe how much.  I became the person I always knew I could be.  2005 the cure was taken off the market.  After so many different drug attempts and extended periods without any medication.  I'm now on Vyvanse.  Let me tell you it does not hold a candle to cylert but I thought I was somewhat closer.  I have done my research and the "cure" still exists.
I was so happy to ready the above comments.  I feel a little less alone."


"I was terrified to take this antibiotic because of the terrible reactions I read about but I was PERFECTLY fine when and after taking it. Worked great!"


"I took this medicine for ADD when I was eleven. I'd had some slight muscle tics before that and the doctor warned me and my parents that Adderall could make those worse, but at the time I wasn't too worried about it. That was a mistake. The tics got far worse, to the point that once I passed out because it made it difficult for me to breath. One doctor said it was OCD, and another said it might be Tourette's, and another thought it was the medicine.  All I know is I've stopped taking it and they've mostly gone away, though they still come back every once in a while when I'm tired. I'm not sure if Adderall would have helped my "ADD"; I didn't take it long enough. I've since managed to get it together and improve my grades without any medication."


"I Took my last birth control active pill 2 days late. Had unprotected sex March 1st on my placebo week, 2 days before my period was due and 36 hours later took plan b. 5 days later On March 6th I was spotting and bleeding very light more like a brown discharge for 4 days. My period finally came yesterday March 30th. I freaked out the whole month and took 5 pregnancy tests and they were all negative. The pill works!!! You just have to be patient."


"I was perscribed this product 4 days ago and I've been taking it every night since In pea sized amounts. The first day at out a little extra on a big spot in my cheek and its dried out and flattened in that 4 days. I have very small red bumps all over my right cheek and a small breakout on my left(mostly clear though) my forehead is clear also after only having small bumps before I started he treatment. What I have noticed is results in the bigger pimples but the small bumps on my cheek haven't gone down and they're still unsightly. My face burned on the third day but not very bad, although my right cheek was especially red. I think I'll probably experience more drying and redness to come so I'm going to update changes every week till then."


"I was 17 when I started on this pill because I had cysts on my ovaries. This pill is a good pill and not a bad one like a lot of the women are saying. This pill has the same side effects as all the other pills do. Yes, I gained weight at first, but now I am back to my normal size because my body regulated it. The leaflets say you may not feel well the first 1-3 packs. It's because your body has to regulate it! "


"I called the on-call doctor to request the prescription cough syrup since I was going on my third night with no sleep. I was told she could only prescribe Benzonatate because the prescription cough syrup has a narcotic in it and due to "new laws", I could not get my much needed cough syrup..I am not a junkie and if I am paying for insurance, then I should get the medication I need!! The capsules did not work at all!!!! I know my doctor is most likely getting an incentive for prescribing the capsules. I drank hot tea with lemon and honey which helped my nagging dry cough and used steam from the hot shower. I am going to see my doctor today to get some REAL medication. The doctors need to start caring about your patients!!!!!!"


"It has lowered my (Intraocular Pressure) IOP. No side effects so far just been taking it 1 month"


"Always works well with no side effects."


"I've severe psoriatic arthritis also that causes severe iritis... For me this was a Miracle pill for pain...  Most medications ate my intestines such as Relafen.

Other drugs that worked really well for me (no pain for 5-6 days) were injections of "Toridal" & "Depomedrol" at the same time (totally cleared up my iritis).  The 20mg of Methotrexate injection 1x per week didn't do anything except possibly cause calf muscle cramps."


"I was having migraine headaches anywhere from one to four times a week. I have been taking 10 mg and I am down to one a month. This has been a lifesaver.  The side effects are manageable for me. I've had dry mouth, constipation, and the first month I had difficulty waking up in the morning."


"It made me sick as a dog couldn't think correctly, horrible headaches, and nausea. I stopped taking it. A waste of 55.00 very disappointed"


"I'm 15 and have been using this for just under a month. The first week it made my face really red, dry and itchy but I just used some moisturizer and hour after I put it on, or just put up with it. Now after a few weeks it does not burn or anything, pimples have cleared up so much! I have not even consistent in using it as it is the holidays but lately I have been and they are already clearing up! I have pimples all over my face, my forehead and temple have pretty much cleared, just waiting on the chin. Along with a good cleanser this stuff is amazing!"


"Was put on Benicar 20mg twice a day after suffering a stroke, works great with other meds that I'm taking due to stents.  Tried other blood pressure meds, but none of them works as well as the Benicar"


"I have bled for 7 months straight since I took a shot of depo provera. I started bleeding 2 weeks after for 7 months. I have finished over 100 tablets of tanxeric acid to help stop the bleeding at different times. The bleeding reduces when am on the tablet and continues after 5 days. I regret ever taking depo provera. Am still praying for the bleeding to stop. I know am at the last stages before the side effect completely leaves my body. 1 more month to make it 8 months if it continues I will look for any available option to completely stop it. My Doctor didn't tell me the side effects before I took the shot. I've been on iron every day for 7 months. I also take multivitamin and vitamin C.  This is a horrible experience for me.NEVER AGAIN!"


"This product was injected into my face by an inexperienced doctor, encouraged by a sale rep for this deplorable product. I have severe swelling under my eyes and forehead. I've had multiple injections to rid my face of these horrible side effects to no avail.  The doctor, sales rep and producers of this hideous product take no responsibility for the horrific pain and disfigurement that I've endured! This product must be removed from the market and I will do all I can to see this be done."


"Been using for a couple of weeks and sensitivity of my teeth has decreased.  My teeth would ache they were so sensitive.  Now they do not. Also am rinsing twice daily with Oral B flourinse."


"WOW!!  I feel as this is almost a cure.  I have never felt better and I can't believe this is not a household name.  Spread the word to every diabetic you know.....they will thank you."


"Do NOT use! Especially if you know that you are more sensitive to hormonal changes. I took this and literally an hour after I put it in I had a major rush of heat and felt like I had been hit with depression, anxiety and had a panic attack as a result. Everything felt unreal. I've had anxiety and panic attacks before and I've never felt like that before. I was crying and paranoid. What an awful experience. I would never recommend to anyone. Going to possibly  try something like the copper iud that uses no hormones...crossed fingers it works."


"60 year old male, this sums it up wife said I was like a young buck ! Only side effect nose was a little stuffy."


"I have been using this for 5 days on my face to treat excessive sweating. I experienced extreme burning and itching. One thing that has worked for it is baking soda. I pour some in a cup and mix it with a little water until it is the consistency of icing. After I put it on I don't experience any more burning or itching. Then when it dries I take it off. Good luck and I hope this helped."


"I always get yeast infections.  Especially after I finish a round of antibiotics for an ear infection or whatever it may be.  Before I always tried using creams and it would take days to clear out.  Sometime it wouldn't clear and I would have to go to the doctor and get another cream.  Such a headache.  I finally got a great Gyno, who prescribed this to me, and I thought, hmm a pill?  Thats odd.  Took the pill that morning, by night time, I was feeling much better, and the next day the discharge was way way less.  By two days it was gone.  And it stays in your system for 7 days so it helps prevent the infection from coming back.  Works wonders!  Thanks Diflucan!

My most recent infection though, did require two doses of diflucan.  FYI. :)"


"I've been on Loestrin for 5 weeks now. I had many side effects so far. I've had the heavy spotting almost like a regular period 2 weeks before my actual period suppose to start. My breast are tender and I feel nausea all the time. I take mine before I go to bed and they said take it with food it should help with the nausea. I get dizzy and very moody. I do mean MOODY! I thought about stopping but I read from others to stick with it and it will get better. I just had a baby six months ago so I know my hormones need time to get adjust with this pill too. I'm going to keep trying to take it and wait and see if I feel better."


"I highly recommend this treatment. I had my second child at 33yrs & for the next two years spent too much money fighting the worst breakouts I'd ever had in my life. I was at the point where I would not go out because I hated the acne marks. My doctor told me I was a good candidate for Accutane & after consulting friends who had taken it in their teen years I decided to take the treatment. No Regrets! It is not an easy process. Treatment was for 6 months. My skin and lips peeled after the first month up to the 5th and they were very sensitive to the sun. It felt raw. My joints were very tight when I woke up in the morning (like arthritis). But Worth every Discomfort.  Treatment ended Oct 2011 and have been Breakout Free for the last 2 years."


"I was taking Cipralex (a type of escitalopram in UK) for about 2 years and it has to be one of the worst medications I’ve been on. At first, it was very useful, I was very suicidal, hated everything about life and Cipralex made me less suicidal by making me numb. I was never happy, I was never sad, I was just constantly living in a numb state. I had stopped eating, lost interest in everything, stopped a bit of my social life but at least I wasn’t planning ways to kill myself. After 2 years, I stopped taking it and I actually became happy again. I was able to have more emotions than just nothingness and I was able to get out of bed easier and enjoy life. This medication is good if you want to stop being suicidal but don't stay on it for too long."


"Male 56. I started taking Cozaar just 4 days ago, to add to my current regiment of diuretic and betablocker, as my BP was climbing.  After only 4 days taking it, my BP went from 170/102 down to 129/69, and I am only on a 25 mg dose; smaller than even what the manufacturer recommends.

This med works.....and fast.   NO side effects for me."


"Side effect's kicked in were worse than my condition.  Already take zofran for nausea & vomiting.  This drug actually started me vomiting again.  If you have depression & anxiety issues & pain issues in joint's, etc...  can make it worse & over ride medication.  Thank goodness my doctor gave me samples because extremely expensive even with insurance.  Do not take if you are allergic or don't take/eat pork ingredient's...I'm not - but is warning I wasn't told about."


"Just finished my first pack today and I am really enjoying it! Though I did get more acne than normal since starting, that very well just may be the fact I'm a teenager. Also experienced headaches in the first week or so, but nothing serious. Started on the pills to help with extreme bleeding, cramps and mood swings. So far I'm unsure as to when my period should be starting, but I would have no objections if it didn't come. My weight has gone up slightly, but my weight always fluctuates for unknown reasons. The first pill I have tried and I would recommend it."


"I totally love it! The best medicine that they have ever ever come out with for diabetes type 2!"


"Getting the Implanon was the worst decision i ever made!!!! I had it in for 3 months and gained a rediculous amount of weight and never had a period. After 3 months I went back to my gp and asked him to take it out, thats was 7 years ago. To this day I'll be lucky to get my period once a year and lasting only 2-4 days."


"I am so happy to be able to use something that can make me feel normal again! "


"Big boned latin lady 5'1 188 pounds. One year and 51pounds gone. No more yo yo diets or cravings just feel good. Results good blood work and my doc likes the results. I like the lack of side effects as these always concern me. Sleep well and just alittle dry mouth the first month. Highly recommend you become the new you now."


"I am 45 years old now and I was able to quit after 27 years with the help of the nicoderm cq patch. It was a struggle but the patches did enough to keep me from finding  a  cigarette. I am now smoke free for 2 years and enjoy not smelling like a dirty ashtray and can breathe much easier. Thanks for your product nicoderm cq."


"Took the medicine at 10 or 10:30 am, about an hour later my stomach started to hurt. Doctor told me to eat before I took it and I didn't well I had a little bit of rice, BIG MISTAKE. When I arrived at work thats when the fun really begun ( being EXTREMELY sarcastic). WORST stomach pain and cramps that I ever had in my life was constantly having to bend over and catch a breath and hold my stomach. I was nauseous but the stomach pain was so unbearable ( literally thought I was dying) it lasted for well over 6 hrs. Also felt like I was going to faint, my body was so tired. It's now 8:10 and I feel ok, a little tired but I'll take being tired over the stomach pain and nausea. Hopefully this medicine works, good luck to everyone "


"I started taking Lorazepam in November of last year when my dad was ill and dying.  It took the edge of the stress and allowed me to care for him and remain calm. I was taking 2  a day for about a month. Dad passed away in December. I have had anxiety issues most of my life, so I probably should have started this drug a long time ago. I now take 1 or 2 a week after a stressful day at work."


"After being on adderall 40mg a day, doc switched me to vyvanse 50mg and although adderall worked great I found it only working 4-5 hours for the IR and I was feeling nothing from taking the XR. I take vyvanse for adhd, depression, and chronic fatigue from RA and EBV, vyvanse is amazing, no crash, no high and low just an even fluctuation through an entire 12-14 hour day! I feel motivated enough to concur my day but I'm not crawling out of my skin ! Love it !"


"Lowered cholesterol about 65% as well as Lipitor. Had eventual adverse effects after 1.5 years of use. Caused extreme joint and muscle tendon pain in the fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, thighs and knees. This was with the typical starting dosage for Mevacor. Lipitor has NOT had any side effects for me in over a decade of use. Different statins have different effects on different individuals, but Mevacor's side effects were crippling for me until I discontinued use. About a year later, I began 20 mg of Lipitor."


"I was a little nervous about taking this medication. However, after speaking to 2 of my doctors in 2 different fields, and understanding that there was a 50% chance of getting some of the serious side effects I decided to try it anyways.  My biggest concern was the depression, etc. because I was diagnosed as bi-polar quite some years ago, but am very diligent with the taking of my medications for that.  When I first started Champix, dizzyness, tiredness  and nausea was apparent but wore off after a few days.  More tiredness when I got to the higher dosage (1.0 +1.0) the first 1.0 in the AM.  This seemed to last for 4 - 5 days.  Day 25 - am amazed at the lack of withdrawal symptoms!!!!"


"I have been on Byetta for 10 weeks now and lost 18kg. Been on Byetta. It's the best thing that has happened to me. I weighed 150kg in January and was gaining weekly. My endocrinologist gave it to me so I could lose weight for a hip replacement, but now my hip feels 60% less pain, so might not have to have the hip replacement soon.

The only thing I can say is get your mindset right as to your portion size with a low carb diet, no alcohol, fizzy drinks or sweets if you trying to diet. Also I am a type 2 and was on Glucovance until Byetta. Now my reading is 5.1 and dropping slowly. Please understand I use it for weight loss hoping to get off medicines...so far so good."


"This was the only thing that gave me some pain relief from severe irritable bowel syndrome, triggered/made worse from anxiety. Thank God for Valium. Only lasted about 3 hrs, but was a low dose of 2mg. Only a small supply was given to me as a short term solution, but I'm so glad I'm finally getting the relief from the anxiety and pain."


"I've been taking this birth control for about a week now, and I have already noticed some changes. My skin is also acne prone, and I was really hoping that this birth control would help with it. Without the pill, I usually have many bumps on my forehead, my chin is pretty red, and once in a while I will get cystic acne. Now that I've been taking it, I have many new pimples all over my face, like my cheeks and on my nose, where I have never gotten it before. It's also given me MORE cystic acne which is a pain. I really wish that it could have helped, but before I switch off I want to wait a little longer to be sure."


"I've been on this medicine for a couple of months now and I feel GREAT on most days. I am also on Xanax but my husband doesn't like it when I take them so I'm trying really hard to get off of them. "


"I'm convinced that fluoxetine is a cap full of sugar and salt.
Been on it for 6 months now and I can't say that I've woken up once and said " I feel great"!
At the end of the day private companies produce these medications. Its big business.

They test it for a short time on a number of people and release corrupted results or not all findings...."


"This absolutely did not work for me. I had changed from gildess to Junel for some reason by the pharmacist. Within a week of starting the pack, I had daily nausea, terrible skin, and became incredibly depressed. I had awful hot flashes while sleeping. Finally after about 7 months I stopped taking it and asked for gildess back. I wish I had asked earlier, within days I went back to normal and my mood improved tremendously. Would not recommend! If you are experiencing this get off it ASAP!"

"I've been on Effexor for anxiety for about 15 years.  It changed my life.  I tried Wellbutrin first but it made me even more anxiety ridden.  For a brief time I felt like the Effexor was not working as well so I switched to Pristiq.  Pristiq increased my anxiety so after about 6 months I switched back.  Within 3 days I felt almost completely better."


"I am 63 years old and after a car accident 18 years ago I developed fibromyalgia. I have been on hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10-650 four times a day for the terrible pain. I also take Ultram 50 mg (2) at the same time and the combination seems to help the hydrocodone work better. I have good days and bad. I have also tried Lyrica (too fattening and not great), Cymbalta (suicide thoughts) and now am trying Neurontin (so far, so good). This medicine makes my life livable and the scummy doctors that are over prescribing are ruining it for the people who really need pain medications to survive."


"I have been on this wonder drug for many years.  I find that if I forget to take my medicines for even one day I become sad and can cry very easily.  If I am off them for more than 3 days watch out.  So don't skip.  Take your medicines. I am 46 and find I am forgetting things. I have been on antidepressents for 20 years now.  6 or 7 of those years on this medicine. "


"This has done absolutely nothing. I was put on Junel Fe and that did wonders for me: clearing up acne, helping with weakness and cramps. However my local pharmacy switched me to this. I never ever write bad reviews but I feel so strongly about this I have to. My cramps are equally as painful as before going on the pill, my acne has flared, my mood has worsened, and I've had horrific headaches. Totally the worst thing in the world. Now I'm sitting in an 18 hour long car ride with some of the worst cramps I've ever had. No point in taking the medicine for period symptoms of it does absolutely nothing."


"Hey ladies! I first had ParaGara inserted back in May of 2014, loved it, loved it, loved it. It was my first time off hormonal BC in years and I was so excited for my body to have some idea of normalcy. Now, I have an issue with ovarian cysts, and by the time October 2014 came, I had two that burst. So I made the switch to Nexplanon (the arm implant mainly bases with progestin) for the hormones to help prevent the cysts from forming. I was on Nexplanon for 6 months and hated every single day of it. I had mood swings, headaches, SEVERE weight gain, no matter how much I worked out or exercised. 4 days ago April 2015 I switched back to Pargard. ITS GREAT. I couldn't be happier. Cramping and heavy periods are the only main things to worry about"


"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T DO IT. If you read these reviews there are a lot of people saying it SUCKS And only a few saying it works. I didn’t read the reviews before I used it and I’m telling you IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK. The pain after using this is a million times worse than a yeast infection. THE BURNING WAS SO BAD I CRIED. I tried wiping it off,and now I’m in the bath trying desperately to wash it off/out lol.
The bath is actually helping so much with the pain and I recommend taking a bath yourself if you’re in the same situation I’m in. GET THIS STUFF OFF OF YOU. I literally tried pushing it back out too LOL. I’m desperate.
PLEASE  DO NOT RISK IT"


"My experience with this drug was very good it help my pain. I would recommend it to others if they were in pain. Do not abuse this drug that ruins it for the people who really need it"


"I was on this horrendous pill for almost 2.5 years and just about 4-5 months ago stopped taking it. I was beginning to feel less motivated, moody, very fatigued, and was gaining weight like crazy. I decided to stop taking them and for the first maybe month and a half I was feeling better, but was beginning to feel a little anxious and less motivated, which I though would pass. Then out of nowhere all hell broke loose! I started having panic attacks and was constantly anxious which lasted about 2 weeks. I started feeling better and then my period came and all hell broke loose again with intrusive thoughts and depression. Now my period is almost 2 weeks late and I'm feeling all of those symptoms again, just not as strong. Never take this!!!!"


"on Citalopram 3 weeks this time (was on it previously for GAD and panic for 3 years, stopped it as I felt better). Lot of issues recently, bereavement/stress, and the old GAD and panic returned - ably assisted by also going through the menopause!  Given the option of HRT or Citalopram I opted for the later.  First 2 weeks were shaky to say the least but now feeling so much better.  Mood has stabilised, sex drive not too bad, but eating so much more. Need to watch weight gain as have only just lost the 2 and a half stone I gained when previously on Citalopram!  This change has occurred with only being on 10 mg.  Hope to stay on this low dose, for ever if I have to, feel so much better."


"I feel compelled to write this review because this product worked on my baby's terrible diaper rash when no other would."


"No complaints. Given before root canal procedure next week. No side effects. Very common antibiotic."


"I use this for urethral spasms.  It has helped relax my urethral muscles, so that I no longer have to 'push' to pass urine.  But it really stings my bladder (I have IC) so I'm stopping it."


"I was put on Sertraline for panic attacks.  The first few months were good.  Only side effects were  brain zaps and an overall strange feeling.  First few weeks I had racing thoughts,  high blood pressure, and feeling like iI had too much caffeine. It slowed down and my panic attacks got  less. But,  I did gain weight like another review mentioned. Not just a few pounds.... like 25.  I was constantly craving carbs, and had a huge bloated feeling all of the time.  I had to get off of this medicine unfortunately because of that."


"So I'm pregnant and I tried this  tonight. I applied it in but the cream came out and it burns. I don't know - I feel like I did it wrong cause kinda does feel uncomfortable and burns a little bit"


"I could not live without Combivent. Now they come up with this Combivent Respimat, takes half a container to finally get the hang of it and its $238.00. Need to find something else for me because I cannot afford this every month."


"I haven't had any side efffects, I am think this is a great medication so far.  My blood pressure is normal now it was at 150/90 now its normal and I feel great."


"I started Yaz about a year ago. First it wasn't too bad seeing as my previous pills made my legs swell some kind of crazy. But now into a year and 20 pounds heavier I've decided to come off of them. Between the weight gain, now swelling legs, being tired all the time, no sex drive, mood swings like no ones business, and random spotting, the only thing good that has came out of these pills is the fact I haven't gotten pregnant."


"My last labs were awesome.  My doctor was quite pleased.  Both my LDL and triglycerides were way down and in the low normal range.  No small feat since I have had Type 1 diabetes for 31 years."


"I started taking this drug about a month ago so far knock on wood no side effects and it works great!! I feel so proud to be able to feed my new daughter!! I have seen lots of reviews about depression so please be careful!"


"I was prescribed this cream to treat hpv that I've been diagnosed with. The doctor didn't go into much detail about how to use the cream except for to put it on the infected area. I put it on the infected area and the surrounding areas. I used the cream about 3-4 times and now it's the worst pain ever. It feels like chemical burn to my genitals. I've stopped using the cream and it's been about 4 days and I can still barely walk due to the amount of pain and discomfort this cream has caused. I've been using neosporin but it is not helping. Does anyone reccomed trying anything else to get the burning pain to go away ?"


"Hi All

Every Morning I take 1mg Ativan

Every Night I take 5mg Zyprexa and 150mg Zoloft

Please try this, please.. Enjoy your life..
Also CBT is good as well..."


"I started my Depo shot around September a week or two before I was about to get my next shot I started my period. I thought when I received my next shot it might stop it. It didn't. I am still on my period and it is April. I have my next shot today and this is my last attempt if it continues I will be switching back to the pill. Not only that but I had major weight gain and depression."


"I had acne since 6th grade! I started treating it while I was in 9th grade. I have gone to three different dermatologists and tried everything. Starting with the face wash, then gel, than a paste, then Yaz then both, then up the dosage...nothing worked.
Finally I got a referral to see a dermatologist to get Accutane.  The first three months no big difference.  Its about my 4th or 5th month and I have no pimples. I started out with 40mg 1xday then upped the dosage to 40mg every other day i.e. 80mg every other day.

Best thing I've ever done.
"


"I used Accutane and found that the secret is to complete the whole treatment. I used it for a month and acne disappeared but started coming back. Then I did the whole treatment for about 4 months and acne never came back. Side effects are not fun specially dryness of the lips but it is definitely worth it. No acne for more than 10 years.

Great specially for people with very bad acne."


"This really does work. I've never been more confident and happier. Even my family and friends said something has changed. I also don't get as nervous in intimate situations. Give it a try if you're skeptical."


"So far, so good. Abilify is extremely strong, so I have found I am fine with just 5mg daily. Taking a lower dose gets rid of most of the unpleasant side effects (restlessness and constipation)."


"I had a wonderful experience with Gildess, but Blisovi on the other hand gave me horrible/painful acne, breast tenderness that got progressively worse, dryness, trouble sleeping, and yeast infections. I tried both dosages with only worse symptoms towards the end on lower dosage (what I tried last).
Hopefully this helps!"


"Prozac was not the medicine for me. I was put on Prozac for depression. I actually began to feel worse when I took it. I also developed a bad case of OCD taking Prozac to the point that I plucked my eyebrows completely off. I also felt very anxious all the time and scared. So my doctor took me off Prozac and switched me to Lexapro and it did wonders. I am a lot happier and confident now. I no longer have OCD and my eyebrows have since grown back. My advice to people who are not seeing results with Prozac is to switch to Lexapro. I wish I would have long ago. I haven't been this happy in years."


"The  insertion process hurt so bad. I’ve never had a kid but when they clinch my uterus I think it feel something like that. That first day I had cramping, which you have to expect because it’s a foreign object in your body. The first month with a period hurt the cramps were a little more intense.  But as birth control goes this birth-control hasn’t failed me. No change in weight or acne and my boyfriend has finished inside of me and I’m not pregnant this birth-control is great I recommend it to everybody. With my insurance I only paid 20% which for me was $200 and something"


"I'm on week 3 of yaz and I can't impress enough how it has exacerbated my depression.  I am crying constantly, I'm getting cramps like there's no tomorrow and feeling nauseous randomly. I don't think regulating my period is worth the feeling of hopelessness, the lack of motivation and general low feeling I am emersed in after only 3 weeks!"


"I really wish I could have tolerated this medication.  Especially, from some of the comments on this site.  However, I also suffered from heart palpitations, fast heart beat, anxiety, and an overall yucky feeling.  After a couple of days of taking the medication - I knew it wasn't for me.  I have never been able to tolerate a norepinephrine and serotonin combination (SNRI's).  I am researching to see if there is a SSRI that works well for Fibromyalgia. I am very happy for the people it has helped.  This was just my experience."


"Been taking 50mg of Sertraline a day for about 2 months now and can honestly say I feel like a new person. I feel more able to be myself and problems don't get to me as much as they did before. I've experienced ongoing dreams at night (each dream picks up from where the last left off) but that's probably the only odd thing I've experienced and it's nice to have dreams again anyway, gives you a chance to think about what your subconscious mind is telling you."


"Just started the 5/hr lil less than 24hrs ago..not sure but think I may be noticing minimum amount of relief but bumped up with another 5/hr on own after 1st 12hrs  because of it being the lowest dose AND checking with pharmacists that know my long history of dosages of narcotics and it being the weekend so my PM doctor is only available for emergencies. Basically my fibro muscle pain feels slightly less but has not touched my back.neck.knees.or nerve pain YET. I am hoping though since it is early still according to other readings on here. I have nothing to use for breakthrough so im really missing the 30-60mg total daily intake of oxycodone that this is supposed to replace w/better results.Noticed bad NAUSEA! Jittery 1st 1-2hrs when apply."


"Within a month of taking Arimidex. I had so much joints pain, I mention to my oncologist and he said it was arthritis, I said "No way" arthritis does not show up in one month" I stopped taking it after 1 1/2 years. I could not endure the pain."


"Just started on week two where I take one pill in the morning and one in the evening.  In 9 days I have lost 5.6 pounds & have not a darn thing.  Granted in general I am not a huge sweets person or snacker - but trying to drop weight without starving myself or doing zero carbs - the scale wouldn't budge... Seeing the weight drop with no effort, just yet, is inspiring.  I love a nice cold beer & perhaps indulge a little too much on weekends - but I now notice I don't really care if I have a beer or not.  losing almost 6 pounds is now motivating me to start eating cleaner and get walking / start some exercise regimen. Side effects I sweat more & sleep is not that great(but I also have hyperdrosis & take adderall). Will post after week 4"


"In three short weeks this drug wrecked my body. I got a skin rash that got infected within 10 days. First I thought, okay, this is weird. I didn't connect it to the Lunesta... but it was all downhill from there. Brain fog, memory problems, getting lost while driving, etc. Then my whole digestion system crashed. I'm talking severe pain in my stomach, constant nausea, no appetite, and constipation that would not move without a laxative. Then my body launched adrenaline to fight back. I started switching from fatigue to adrenaline, back and forth. After one ER visit and numerous urgent care trips, I realised it all started with the Lunesta. Buyer beware."


"My Doctor switched me to this, no reason given. I'm 58 I have had Renal Cell Cancer, I have 1 kidney left . Heart Disease, Diabetic, Discs are gone, I am not a surgical candidate due to my health.
I have never, taken illegal drugs nor have I failed a random urine test, pill count etc....
But, because of what other people do, I am grouped into that stereotype ...
It's embarrassing, humiliating, not everyone is a addict or looking for drugs .
But this is the worst drug, I have ever tried..."


"They relieve my lower back pain and allow me to walk and sleep, couldn't do either without them! I use 3 daily 7.25-325 mg. My doctor transferred to a hospital and my new Chinese doctor told me he is deathly afraid of arrest by the DEA for writing narcotic Rx's scripts, he no longer writes any, but sends all, including me to a "Pain Clinic" that costs me $40.00 a visit for a specialist co-pay to pick up a script, a $480 year waste!
Other doctors quit writing scripts because of increased pressure from the law and DEA agents also. How unfair is that to seniors? And who cares?"


"I've started taking isotretinoin a few months ago and i had moderate acne. It cured my acne completely, i do now have like 2 zits but that's the first time since i started the medication. I have to admit though, the side effects are terrible. It does dry your lips to the point that you can't smile or talk but that wasn't it. Since I started the medication i've been suffering from severe depression and suicidal thoughts. I'd spend hours crying my heart out once i'm on the pill. And also i'd have the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness to the point where the only possible thing to do is actually kill myself. I'm still on isotretinoin though cause i haven't finished my course. My depression is just getting worse."


"Going on isotretinoin is a hard choice—there is the possibility of rare but seriously harmful side effects. BUT acne was affecting my life and social outings severely. Fortunately, the only side effect I've experienced is extremely chapped lips/skin, besides purging at the start. One day without some sort of lip ointment (I recommend the godsend known as Aquaphor) and your lips are flakier than a croissant.

On my 5th month now and my skin looks amazing (I have no bumps/pustules, just some hyperpigmented spots). Even though there’s still time for things to go south, I just wanted to chime in my positive experience. For me, it has been 110% worth it. All I can say is don’t feel pressured into taking isotretinoin, but you shouldn’t be afraid to try it."


"I'm a 21 year old , little over weight with a hormone deficiency called pcos . My

Doctor put me on Lolo for 3 months . For the first month my period was very heavy and painful and then a week letter I got my period once again , by the second time I only got my period once however it still was very painful . When I did get my period naturally ( off the pill ) it was very light and non painful . By the 3rd month I bleed for 3 straight weeks and had bad cramps . It did give me clear skin . However I did had a decrease in my sex drive and painful intercourse . I would not recommend this pill ."


"I started taking 50mg spironolactone once a day for moderate hirsutism on my chin (up to like 30 terminal hairs), and other areas on my body, as well as moderate acne (constant breakouts). During the first 2 weeks I had crappy breakouts, and then like clock work, immediately after the 2 week mark, my skin started to clear up. I got electrolysis done and after just one visit, the hairs were no longer terminal on my chin, and most of them didn't even grow back at all (so basically the few that did grow back were like peach fuzz, which is the normal and unnoticeable hairs we have all over the body)."


"I have PCOS diabetes and tons of pain in my body every day. Victoza, since I have been put on it a week ago I have lost 18 pounds, my appetite  has been suppressed drastically no other side effects except for feeling great that I'm finally losing weight after over 5 to 6 diet tries for years this is the only thing that has help me so far I'm so thankful for this medication for the doctor allowing me to try it out!!"


"This was my first colonoscopy and was very nervous but with prepopik is was so easy, no pain and cramping and very easy to drink. I was worried I didn't empty enough but doctor said I was completely clean!"


"I lasted 6 days with Nexplanon. Getting the "rod" put in was fairly painless. However, a day after insertion, I began to have shooting pains up from the site through my shoulder and neck along with a KILLER migraine. When I held my hand out, it shook uncontrollably. I was put on an antibiotic in case of infection. A few days later, the pain was still the same and my hand began to go numb even when my arm was stretched out straight. I was SO uncomfortable and could not function because of the continuous migraine (it would not respond to any pain reliever). I had my Nexplanon taken out and suspect it was placed on a nerve. The hormones most likely caused the 5 day long migraine, so I will NOT be having it put back in."


"I just started taking this medicine, and it makes me dizzy."


"I had some itching down there and general discomfort so I bought this at Pharmacy I'm 27 and have had 2 yeast infections my entire life. The last time I had one they didn't have 1 day treatment, so I was so happy to see it would be cleared up faster.  I just popped it in about 15 mins ago and the itchiness has gotten so bad I can't even sit still. I'm sure it will work because this cream is fast acting and murdering the infection. I was just about to go to bed after working a 12 hr day, bad idea. I'm sure it will work but the side effects are terrible. No burning....yet "


"I got my skyla inserted today. I just wanted to write about the experience of getting it put in because so many people write about the pain of it and also the cramps. if you are worried about the pain- DONT BE. I seriously psyched myself out so much beforehand because of all the reviews of the pain. Yes it does hurt, but the worst of the pain lasted about 3 seconds and the whole process lasted a total of 4 minutes. I was worried because I got mine on Christmas Eve and I had a lot to do that day but I barely had any cramps the whole day. I did take Advil so that may have helped. I have some now and it is about 12:45am. It just feels like I'm getting my period. It is very worth it because I don't have to worry for 3 years now."


"I have had this birth control for going on 4 years. Just had a new one put in. The only bad thing I can say about it is I did gain weight but the actual birth control didn't make that actually happen. All it does is increase your hunger. So if you manage that and not eat all the time or unhealthy foods and exercise regularly then maintaining weight shouldn't be a problem. Definitely not the birth controls fault. Also, there was some irregular bleeding but only the last 6 months of the 3 years. There was joint pain, but my doctor said it shouldn't have been related. However, nothing some icy hot and normal stretching couldn't fix! Nexaplanon is totally worth it! I'd rather bleed than have a child at a young age!"


"I started 50mg of Pristiq only two days ago. My doctor didn't like the medicine combination that I was on before and they seemed to not be working so well anymore. I was taking Cymbalta and Celexa. I stopped taking Cymbalta and took Pristiq and the Celexa the first day. I was very afraid of a horrid drop in my mood all day being without my Cymbalta. But my mood was great. I stopped taking the Celexa and only took the Pristiq. It's crazy I feel good. Well aside from the dizzy dumb head feeling. I also get headaches here and there but nothing too terrible. In the past I have tried Effexor XR, Prozac, Lexapro and Zoloft for my depression anxiety. I am really impressed with Pristiq."


"I have Crohn's Disease, 30 degree scoliosis, 14 reconstructive surgeries on my pelvis. Among many other issues.  I was mainly put on it because a Crohn's patient does not absorb oral meds very well.
The Mylan brand is the only one that works (change 48 hrs) but I sweat profusely!  The doctor will not switch me.  It does work for pain, yes, but getting them to stick while constantly sweating is another story."


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


"I got Skyla exactly a week ago today. ( never had kids) I'm a very anxious person and was SO nervous/anxious for insertion. She gave me a shot in my cervix to numb it, this I did NOT feel. But after that HOLY CRAP worst pain in my life. It was so incredibly weird and cramps in an area I've NEVER felt before. I had two of these which lasted about 10 seconds each. After I sat up and was sweating and so nauseous ( stupid me didn't eat beforehand) and literally almost passed out. My ears went numb and I couldn't see, this was prob from all the anxiety I worked up. Anyways, had bad cramps the rest of the day to where I had to lay in bed all night. Woke up and felt like a brand new woman. Haven't had ANY issues since!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"Accutane has changed my life! I suffered from acne from the age of 14, and now I am almost 19. I started Accutane 5 months ago, and I have one month left on it. The first month on Accutane my acne started to clear up slightly. The 2nd, 3rd, and beginning of the 4th month are the most frustrating times on this medicine. My skin started to break out a lot, and I saw no improvement. I am now on my 5th month of Accutane and my skin is perfectly clear. I have no break outs, and my skin is so smooth. I never thought I would have perfect skin, but thanks to Accutane I do. The only side effects I experienced was dry lips, so I always carry a lip moisturizer on me! I am so thankful for this medicine."
