"I have only been on Pristiq now for a week and I am so glad. I was hesitant because I suffer from major depression. I have tried close to everything in the book but am relieved that I have FINALLY found something that makes me feel so vibrant and alive now. The positive effects started pretty much immediately and I am so grateful. I cannot express how big of a difference I have felt on Pristiq. It is absolutely amazing."


"I have been taking Lutera for about 3 months now it has been much better than any previous birth control pills I have taken. Some side effects that I have noticed are enlarged and tender breast and decrease in sex drive. I have also noticed that I am a lot more emotional than usually. I have not really gained any weight, which is one of the main reasons my doctor put me on this pill. The pills I have taken in the past made me gain massive amounts of weight and then I would get super depressed, but not on Lutera. I have set an alarm on my phone to help me remember to take it everyday at the same time and its no problem. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Lutera."


"I had gential warts or herpes2 for 1year I didn't really focus on it until 2weeks ago when I went to a stupid small laser bikini wax lady to look at my vaginal and told me I had herpes. I look through the internet and search for home treatments . I bought 3 tea tree oil . And used lysine pills it really worked with red marine algae. My warts shrink in 1week and 4days. I swear I'm seeing a difference in my vagina.

1.Sea breeze astringent to clean my vagina

2.crushed lysine pills in my tea tree oil stir it mix it as a paste.  Rub it on your wart. I'm your vagina 24hrs it mints but it's worth it. I'm feeling good. I'm seeing a difference. And drink lysine and red marine algae it helps."


"On this medication for the past 4 months. Still unable to sleep at night, hot flashes, but a lot nicer than the other medication I was on. The only side effect that I can deal with is the muscle pain that it causes in my legs. I also notice my skin being oily and breakouts on my face."


"I've been on Xiidra for 3 months on the recommendation of my ophthalmologist.  I am using it along with Restasis as it is supposed to boost the effectiveness of the Restasis.

I can't wait to stop taking it in a few weeks (time recommended by my doctor) because of the side effects.  There is burning and a bad taste that can occur all day long.  For me the bad taste doesn't go away.  The viles are easy to use just that you can't make the product last beyond a day.  These drops are not for everyone."


"I have been taking Chantix for 4 days now and it works great for quitting smoking, but the side effects are harsh. I get so sick on it and also I get so angry for no reason. I am yelling at everyone.  I have also been having problems with the depression.  If you have any of these problems then you should see your doctor."


"Be very Careful moms or dads with teenage boys this medication almost killed my son.

research before trying but my advice DO NOT TRY IT. Reactions do not coming till weeks later.

He only took 12 pills."


"I have been taking this med for 2 months and I feel horrible. I have every side effect listed besides impotence. I am going to stop taking this med with or without the doctor's blessing. I am tired of having shortness of breath and being extremely tired ALL THE TIME. I have a small child and I can't not keep up. I cannot walk to my car from my office about 200 yards away. I am not doing this to myself anymore."


"After 2 weeks, this crap called medication made my OCD WORSE, Then a few weeks later i was so depressed that i couldn't even get out of bed. I went from being a healthy lady with moderate ocd, to a majorly depressed obese pig in 2 months.

Thanks prozac.

Dont put this depression (causing) pill down your throat. Talk to your doctor about other options.

Also, i just want to let you all know something, 50% of psychiatrists will do anything to make their appointment with you quicker, even if that includes just opening their book of medications and picking a random one in your category (in my case, ocd). Always try medication free solutions BEFORE popping a pill. eg, ocd training, therapy, natural treatments, etc"


"I had pain shooting throughout my body for a week.  One day it would be in my legs, then my torso, then my arm, my throat, my ear and then shingles surfaced on my torso-right side. I took an antiviral for the shingles, and Neurontin for pain.  The blisters were painful and they went away in a couple weeks but the pain remained and I took Neurontin in high doses, with Tylenol so I could sleep but my right leg hurt all the time.  I couldn't walk up/down stairs on that leg, or sleep on either of side without pain and I am a side sleeper so I was miserable.  A neurologist was skeptical that the cause was shingles but prescribed Lyrica and it was magic!  75 mg once a day and the pain is 95% gone, 6 months later still works."


"I got on this as a teenager for my endometriosis. Besides spotting for the first four months I have had no ill effects. No weight gain. In fact its hard to keep weight on. I got off of it to have my kids. Now I'm back on it. It's so much easier raising toddlers without cramps and random bleeding. I recommend it highly. Don't let bad experiences scare you. I actually had a horrible time with the pill. I love my Depo shots!"


"I started Viibryd -- 20 mg/day -- over a year ago, when going thru a prolonged low. Like alot of folks, I've tried many different things in 20+ years, gone thru the rollercoaster of titrating on, titrating off, having stuff work then stop working, etc. To my surprise, Viibryd has helped -- though the diarrhea and so forth were super annoying at first (then gradually abated). Unlike most anti-depressants, I could feel an effect within first week or two, even titrating very gradually.

I recently went up to 40/mg. Mood brighter, helps clear up the brain fog. Various effects on body: deeper sleep, intense dreams, increased sex drive (almost annoying), as well as GI stuff. So far, so good"


"Cialis worked for me!  I'm a 48 year old with a past history of benign prostate hyperplasia since treated, now experiencing erectile dysfunction.  Used it last night with rousing success. I would say I felt like a teenager again, but even then I had performance anxiety issues which went away once I got married. Good thing this wasn't around then otherwise I probably would have gotten myself in big trouble!

Weirdest side effect though.  Whenever I got an erection, I felt this sensation come up the middle of my torso and it made me laugh uncontrollably.  The wife thought I lost it!"


"I developed Tardive Dyskinesia and Dystonia after having taken Abilify (for too long apparently). It has made my life far more difficult.  I am posting this because I just want to make people more aware that this happens so it doesn't happen to them if they can avoid it."


"So I have been on the Depo shit for well over a decade and decided to opt for a different method due to the weight gain, headaches and bone density concerns.  I have to say I was so scared about the procedure since I had heard nightmare stories about how painful it was.  However, it wasn't that bad at all, like a slightly more intense pap smear but it was over quick.  I had almost no cramping or bleeding (probably due to just stopping Depo) and it has been great so far.  I have already noticed a small amount of weight loss and haven't has a headache for a while.  Like mentioned before everyone is different so I'm grateful my experience has gone so well but I will post again if anything changes."


"Although I've read it could take up to 4 weeks to see any improvement while taking Cymbalta, I noticed the pain that I usually experience for several hours in the morning has subsided significantly with the first dose. It's been one week and the improvement continues!"


"I have had migraines for 9 years. A few years ago I started having them almost daily. After a while,  It took more medication to get less pain relief. I was having daily headaches. I would take Advil to take the edge off for a few hours, then take imitrex, than another imitex, then Tylenol, then back to Advil. I spent days in bed. I tried everything to stop the headaches. I tried Botox, beta blockers, anti-seizure meds, SSRIs, magnesium. Then I read about Frova. I switched from imitex and took them every 12 hours for a week to try to control my menstrual migraine. It was amazing. But better than that as I used Frova for a few months the headaches lessened. My headaches are back to a few a month, and Frova takes them away. A miracle drug!"


"Got this June 2014 got it out march 2015. Within 3 months of having it, I developed horrible acne around the jaw line and forehead with cysts on my lower jaw. Previous to implanon, I was on zovia for 2 years. With zovia I had weight gain, breast tenderness, but very clear skin. With Implanon, I lost 40 pounds, which I attribute more to diet and exercise, developed acne, but had no breast tenderness, periods or mood swings. To me the terrible acne isn't worth it so I got back on Zovia. Also, my friend got implanon about a month ago and already had horrible cysts on her chin."


"I took Sovaldi with Ribavirin, I have to say this combination is FANTASTIC!!! I took the meds for three months, and I didn't experience ANY side effects- aside from a little drowsiness. Most of it is mental. I took the pills as directed, and just acted as if they were vitamins. My hep c was UNDETECTABLE after just one month- and my blood tests still remain that way... I am blessed to have found this medicine. I would recommend to ANYONE who wants to take this medication, to do so. Absolutely no reason not to! Good luck!!"


"Absolutely great for me. It cured insomnia, I had better sleep,  helps anxiety and depression. The lower dose gives increased sleep effect, and increased appetite (but its up to you whether you choose to eat everything you fancy..or not!)"


"This medicine obliterated my social anxiety,anxiety ,fear,phobia,paranoia,panic,worrying and racing thoughts! I can actually function again thanks to a little green pill. I feel like superman now! I'm no longer chained downed by my own mind! I've been battling through it for years and now it's finally gone! I can be outgoing again! I feel calm now."


"I am a 32 year old man, and for more than 17 years I have battled depression.  Had been living with depression so long that I could recognize the beginning symptom and would try to mentally prepare myself for the storm that was sure to follow.  After being hospitalized, I eventually found myself before a Psych. Doctor. I was afraid and kind of ashamed. Depression set in again.  TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT:  I have been taking Celexa for 4 days now, and I'm all smiles.  I still experience all my emotions, but life finally feels bearable and not as heavy.  Thank you Celexa!"


"I thought this was a spectacular medicine, very quick acting engorged lymph nodes were reduced within about 7 days. I am now in remission and doing maintenance."


"I just started taking this medicine.  I have been taking Hydrocodone with acetaminophen for pain since 2003 but recently discovered that there exists a variation with a medicine that would address inflammation in addition for pain and wondered why, for all these years no one suggested I take that variant.  I specifically asked for it because I have inflammation.  I take it because I have debilitating pain in my lumbar-sacral spine, in my left parietal brain, and I have IC.  I also have triple major scoliosis and major depression. "


"Had a thyroidectomy about 6 years ago, gained lots of weight almost every day since. Then my endo put me on Qsymia for a little more than 3 weeks now, down 14lbs. Other than a minor amount of dry mouth and minor tingling in my feet, no side effects. Really helps with hunger and cravings for sweets.  So far, good stuff!"


"My lover and I had unprotected sex on 12/26 when afterwards I realized I was at my prime ovulation time (Day 13 of my cycle; I have a 26 day cycle). As it was Saturday evening I couldn't get plan B that night. The next day 12/27 was a Sunday so all the pharmacies were closed. By the time I got my Plan B it was already Monday late afternoon and almost 48 hours after sex. I took it immediately and felt nothing at all, no nausea, no vomiting, no diarrhea, nothing...except I was very tired and Monday night slept for close to 12 hours. What followed was 2 full weeks of pure stress. Imagine how happy I was when I got my period on my scheduled date! So relax, girls, if you take plan B according to its instructions it will work."


"I've only been on this med a few days but I'm giving it a 10/10 just to help round off all the scathing reviews.

It has helped. I was very worried reading about the side effects, so I bite a 5mg tab in half after eating breakfast, and take the other half after eating dinner. No side effects, greatly improved mood. Also taking lamictal.

This is after having a partial response to Parnate, dubbed the most powerful antidepressant on the market. I guess everyone reacts differently.

We'll wait and see how the next few weeks go, fingers crossed."


"I'm 5'9" and weighed 340 pounds on March , 29,2016!!!! And I'm happy to say that as of this morning5/12/16..I weigh 296 pounds!! I won't lie to you all and say it's been easy and there aren't side effects.. Constipation, some nausea, etc.. Because with any man made medicine there will be side effects.. But I would deal with the side effects anyday... If I've gone down 2 suit sizes in a matter of a month and some change!!! I will also not say that it doesn't take hard work ,, I go to the gym 6 days a week, I eat about 1400 healthy calories a day( sometimes less) , I drink about 14 cups of water a day. If you wanna lose weight take the pill and work with it , not against it!! Be positive not negative! And you'll have great results!! thnx"


"I was put on 10mg to begin with, and I did suffer mild side effects. I had nausea and drowsiness for the first two days and these stopped when I starting taking the pill at night. However when I took it at night I had insomnia, tight chest and felt my heart pounding a lot. I was worried at first but this passed after another couple days. By day 5 I felt like my old self, no side effects and when in stressful situation, no symptoms of anxiety which was great. I went up to 20mg on day 9 and still felt great, with no side effects when upping the dose. Hope this helps those of you about to start Citalopram. Just stick with it, ride the first wave and you will be fine :) x"


"This med works great for congestion associated with a cold. As someone else stated... It does give you some really strange dreams though!"


"I am 54 years old and have not had acne since I was a teenager.

After only 2 days of taking 5000mg, my nose broke out in large red rosacea type pimples.  I stopped the vitamin and did not get any more pimples."


"My 11 year old son got put on this drug for ear infection. He is allergic to Amoxicillin, so they prescribed Cefdinir. He took it one time before and had no issues. This time however on day 8 of 10, he broke out in severe hives all over his body. Had to counteract with Benadryl. Took him to urgent care and they prescribed prednisalone for 5 days. On day 3 now and still have not seen any improvement. I am trying to be hopeful that by day 4 I will see some. Has anyone had a similar experience?"


"I've been taking Triumeq for Three Days Now And It has Been A Wonderful Experience. I Haven't Had Any Side AffecTs From Taking This Medication. I CaN Tell Its Working Because My Joint Pain I Was Having Before I Started Taking Triumeq Is Beginning To Slack Off. I Will Post My Labs In Two Weeks"


"I was recently diagnosed with SLE and started Plaquenil 200mg once a day been over a month now and feel absolutely no difference in joint or muscle pain but do have terrible nausea 24/7 from it with or without food and take Nexium as I’ve had GERD for years but take it 4 hours apart from the Plaquenil as directed. My hair is falling out like crazy. I go to new Rheumatologist next week as the 1st one was horrible and I can’t ask her a question without getting a response of ask your PCP what do I need her for then she’s the specialist not my PCP. I take Percocet for the pain which is the only thing helping me right now.  Want off this Malaria Drug."


"I have been on this pill for 2 months now. I was getting the Depo shot before and was on that for 9 months, I had gained 40 pounds from it and wanted to switch fast! My doctor said I was sensitive to the hormones and recommended this for me. I haven't gained any weight with this which is great, but on the other hand my breast, especially my nipples are super tender most of the time, and they are also getting bigger which isn't that great since I'm a D cup already. I am a little more emotional than usual but it's not a big difference. No acne improvement or anything like that. On the first month, I had my period for one day, woke up the next morning and it was gone! That was pretty weird. Overall this pill is pretty good. "


"I love, love, love this medicine. I weighed 146lbs last month, I now weigh 127lbs and counting. I'm getting married in a month and this has so saved me. I would say try it if you haven't already because everyone I know wants it now they see how it worked for me so fast."


"Lyrica works! "


"You are going to be surprised how fast you'll fall asleep and how great you feel when you wake up."


"This medication changed my life. I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism years ago and for five years I was on levothyroxine. Despite  taking it every day as recommended, I experienced no difference in my extreme fatigue, muscle aches, and constipation.  I was sleeping all the time. Exercise was a nightmare. No longer the energetic person I used to be. I basically wrote that off as my baseline. Then I started reading about different hypothyroidism treatments and beg my doctor to put me on Naturthroid. I now feel exactly how I am meant to - boundless energy  when I get up in the morning at all throughout the day, and as a result, my mood has dramatically improved."


"Side effect was mild direahea and bloody stool."


"I have taken Levaquin many times for my sinuses and have had 2 sinus surgeries.  I am currently on my 38th day of 750mg and have 11 more days to go of taking it.  We are doing this for so long as a last resort before doing surgery again.  I can not tell that it is doing much good this go around.  It does not allow me to rest well so I take it in the morning but  I can honestly say that I am over the vomiting daily because of it.  It also gives me the shakes and just a very bad overall feeling until lunch or so."


"Have had chronic left shoulder pain for the past 4 years. Tried massage therapy, chiropractor, physical therapy, etc., etc. Been taking 4 doses of Tylenol and Motrin for 4 years. Finally got my doctor to give me something to help. I have been on the 5mcg patch for 4 days and have been absolutely pain free since. The only side effect has been it itches sometimes at the application site. I can deal with the itching since I am absolutely pain free after struggling for the past 4 years. "


"I had the Implanon for six months and had it removed today. Wasn't for me. I had no sex drive whatsoever. I lost a lot of hair, constantly bleeding mood swings and I gained a few pounds."


"I had cellulititis and the swelling in my foot went down significantly in about two days."


"I have been on this pill since March, and though it's decreased my appetite, I've gotten severe acne, very bad headaches and constant bleeding to the point of becoming anemic . I'm definitely thinking of stopping it because the side effects are horrible."


"Works effectively"


"I was on day 2 of a doozy of a migraine and ended up at urgent care. I have idiopathic intracranial hypertension which causes pretty much constant head pain, but had been non symptomatic for over a year.  Up until today I would maybe get 1 migraine a month and taking Excedrin migraine would stop it in its tracks. This time it did nothing.  My migraine was still going strong at 36 hours. A shot of Toradol in one hip and Imitrex in the other and I feel like a different person! Better within the hour!  I would give it a ten but as others have mentioned, it was pretty darn painful when injected! Definitely a burning/stinging sensation for about 20 minutes. This was my first experience with both of these medicines but I am amazed!"


"I am 73 and have an enlarged prostate (x2), taking Finasteride, and have tried Flowmax and Alfuzosin.  The main side effect that is driving me crazy is Hyperacusis.  My doctor switched me to Silodosin and as usual it helped in all expected ways but still the Hyperacusis comes back.  Loud noises make me extremely nervous and it is difficult to be around people.  I may have to have the TURP surgery as I can not tolerate the side effects, especially the Hyperacusis.
No one seems to have this particular problem but people as I do experience the throat and nasal symptoms. I can tolerate the dry ejaculations but not the others. I am considering going to a 4 mg dose.  It does provide adequate flow."


"This is by far the WORST pill ever. I was on zovia and I absolutely loved it, and they stopped making it so I switched and they put me on this and when I started taking it I was bleeding for two weeks straight, and I figured it was just an adjustment period, also I would cry all the time, I wasn't sad or upset, nothing happened, I just couldn't help it I always was holding back the urge to cry. So after that lovely two week blood bath I had like five days without bleeding and then it started all over, so I've been bleeding for a month straight, and I want to cry all the time."


"I had meningitis which was the result of an ongoing untreated and lingering sinus infection. I was on IV antibiotics along with oral Levaquin. A month later I took Levaquin for about 3 more weeks for extra measure to clear it all out. This med likely had a part in saving my life, because I'm allergic to alot of other meds and I can tolerate this. The only thing I do/did notice when taking it, is vivid and sometimes intense/strange dreams. It stopped when I was done with the course. Had I taken antibiotics back when my sinus infection started (I didn't as I was scared of unneccessary meds) I wouldn't have gotten meningitis in the first place. So people, please please take the meds if you have an infection. Don't end up like me!"


"Good."


"Clonazepam works well for anxiety, but the side effects are unbearable. I can no longer breathe through my nose at night because of sinus inflammation. It also causes cognitive dysfunction and when I'm not on it I have withdrawal symptoms."


"My period was on May 3rd-7th. My bf and I had intercourse on May 11th. Took the pill on May 13. Started bleeding May 18. Lasted for 4-5 days was light then turned really heavy! I felt EXTREMELY nauseous, bloated, headaches, tired, eating a lot and breast soreness from the pill. I thought I was pregnant. I didn't even know if the May 18 was a period or not. Finally today June 20 I'm bleeding!!! So I guess May 18 was my new period."


"It works so well that it doesn't seem real. I only use it occasionally as needed. This morning I woke up and could not breathe through my nose at all.  I tried blowing my nose, but with no result (it wasn't nasal congestion, it was swollen nasal passages). I used Flonase and within an hour I could breathe normally again. I know it doesn't always work that quickly for people and I'm surprised that it did for me, but it really is an awesome product."


"5th day on Buproprion XL150. I am supposed to take this once a week and then double the dose. Right now I am feeling I should not double up as I don't like the side effects. First few days I felt like heart was racing a little, jittery, clenching on teeth, trouble falling asleep. Am I still as depressed? No. Am I laying in bed and not getting my work done? No.I wouldn't say I am motivated, but I am getting done what needs to. Lost weight. No real appetite but at night I get hungry. My MAIN concern is I feel anxious and self-conscious. I am in school and I have a job where I need to work with superiors and be able to listen and perform. I feel like I am just going through the motions; an out of body experience. Will this end soon?"


"I have been on Yaz for about a year and a half. I just switched today to a different pill. I gained about 10 pounds on Yaz. It made me impossible to deal with. I was so uncontrollably moody, and it made my acne worse. Hopefully the new stuff will help."


"I was retaining 30 ounces of urine after going to restroom had Cath. For one week put on flomax symptoms gone with in few weeks only had mild side effects get up once a night now"


"As an anxious first-timer who scoured the web for answers to my many concerns, I found this thread most helpful. So, here are my two-cents.

Suprep is very effective. Got a "gold star" from my GI for "cleanliness".

With cold water, a straw and a green apple Jolly Rancher chaser between sips, the taste was not as bad as I thought it would be. (It's definitely not good!) First dose (6 pm) went down in 4-5 sips. Second dose (2:30 am) took more time and patience, like 25 much smaller sips to avoid gagging. (Not sure why the difference.)

Followed instructions to the letter. Only got an hour or so of sleep overnight, so I rather enjoyed my "nap" during the procedure. Very relieved to know all is well, and all my worry was for nothing.

Hope this helps."


"Been taking Flomax for about 4 years. Works great for me. Still go 4 or 5 times during the day, 0 to 2 at night. It's great to not have pain and difficulty when starting to pee. Thanks to those who took up the cause and found this medicine."


"Paxil helped me a great deal.  Took around 6 weeks to work but well worth the wait.  I feel like a new person, highly recommended."


"Started taking Abilify in August of 2016. The day after I wanted to drink. I'm a recovering alcoholic, called my physciatrist and she switched seroquel to Thorazine. And I got over the next couple of days. I just received an inheritance somehow I ended up with 191 Groupons, online shopping I couldn't have controlled so much in an amnesia state. Wouldn't have known this was happening. Went to Dr and hospitals 8 or 9 times with different things of Abilify! I had an suicide attempt in March. I stayed awake for 4 days afterwards. I've wrecked my car 4 times. I have TD and Akatasia now. I've never had a drug complicate me as much!   I was also severely anorexic."


"I gave it a 10 because its "effectiveness" is true, it doesn't  let you get pregnant. That's our end goal right.
Yes side effects happen, all birth control has side effects. I spotted a lot the 2nd and 3rd year of the first one I had. Yes mood swings at the end of the 3rd year. I chalk that up to the birth control running out. I would suggest getting it out at least a month before its due to be changed. I waited a week before and the hormones were freaking stupid crazy and I felt pregnant. It all went away when I got the second one put in.
Overall I love it. It did its job of not letting me have a baby. Not everyone is the same. Try it. If you don't like it then take it out. Try something else.
Its not rocket science."

"I have been on this Birth Control for over a year now and I have had no problems! The only bad thing is the first few months you have break through bleeding, but other than that its great."


"This drug makes me so lethargic I can't drive for fear of falling asleep at the wheel. I can barely get out of bed. This got worst when my MD upped the dose to 1.8, I think maybe I should go back a dose. I lose 5lbs in 4 weeks, but I haven't decided its worth since I am so fatigued I can't function on a normal level. Most days I can't even get out of my pajamas but it is the only sympton I have experienced. My MD said he had not heard this complaint from any other patient."


"It didn't help the back pain I have but it sure does keep you awake. I thought it would make me drowsy but it gave me insomnia. Tossed and turned all night."


"I began taking Tri- Nessa to clear up my skin. I have never had perfectly clear skin, but before and during my period my skin ( including back and shoulders) would break out horribly. After only a week of the pill, I noticed my skin was very clear. I have never had such amazing skin! During my period I still get a few zits, but not bad enough to wear makeup. My period never starts until the 5th placebo,and has always been short, but I no longer cramp! My mood is stable, and I have gone up a cup size. I am stopping the pill due to a 10 pound, in three month, weight gain. I'm a runner, and have always been able to maintain my weight.  I intake 2000 calories, burn a 2400/day and went from 120 to 131 in 3 months."


"Went to the ER because of sciatic nerve pressure for severe pain and multiple muscles spasms that would not stop. 2 injections of dilaudid had no effect at all. Tried some 4mg oral dilaudid tablets and no effect at all. This is most likely a very effective pain reliever but this indicates that not all pain relievers work on me. Doctors don't believe me so I almost always refuse to take any pain medication. I think I need to be studied."


"I have been on other birth controls for over 6 years. (Yaz, Yasmin, Loestrin and more). Gone through migraines, excessive bleeding patterns, no sex drive at all,  mood swings, as most recently while on Loestrin 24 I spent 14 months basically crying every day until I finally switched to Nuvaring. I no longer have any of the above symptoms and feel great! I will say I have an actual period but it is short and manageable. Loestrin left me period free for over a year. My sex drive has begun to come back- something I thought I no longer even had, and I feel like a normal person again. "


"The side effects were too hard to tolerate, for me to continue to take it for more than a couple of months.   Nausea, dizziness, headache, upset stomach, and a terrible skin reaction that left many scars on my entire body are in addition to the mental slowness, confusion and increased depression suffered while taking Lyrica.  "


"Within 20 mins my nose was clear and my cough had subsided. On the other hand you have to drink plenty of water to keep from getting too dry and my heart was racing which wasn't to bad. All in all did the job."


"I am 25 years old. Over the last 3 years I have pretty muched ruined most of my relationships involving my career and my personal life. The most common symptoms I experience are: Difficulty concentrating and staying on task, caprishious behavior/severe mood swings, impulsive behavior/making irrational decisions that significantly impact my future, depression, and anxiety. I had a great job, and I had lots of friends. Unfortunately, difficult events took place that caused my emotional health to start spiraling out of control. I became diagnosed with ADD/ADHD in April 2013. Started Addrerall 30mg XR. It really helped me feel more motivated, less depressed, and I felt I could concentrate much better. I definitely recommend this medication!"


"Effective but on the slightly week side."


"I have not been on the medicine for long enough to truly know what kind of difference it is going to make on my life.  So far I am almost completely pleased with the results.  One of the major consequences of my particular type of OCD is that is isolation and avoidance.  On Rilutek I'm more willing to confront my fears/phobias/triggers and generally I seem to be less stressed in those situations.  My mind also seems to work better in that the thing I'm afraid of does not seem so real.  Rilutek is an add on to my other prescription medicines.  In the last year I have made more progress with medication than I have in the previous 4 together."


"I had terrible hot flashes so my doctor prescribed Venlafaxine 37.5mg. They worked great for about a year and a half until about one month ago. I'm again having hot flashes so I don't know if increasing the amount will help but I need a solution. I think there has been some change in my hormone levels which is causing the problem."


"At one point during the 5 months that I was taking these pills, I came across tightness of my chest which gave me difficulty breathing and I felt as though I was suffocating. I never had acne, once I quit the pills, I suffered, and am still suffering, from severe acne. I refuse to go back on the pill, but I also don't know what to do about this acne problem now. I stopped taking the pills in January and have had bad acne since. No problems breathing, though."


"I have had this medication prescribed to me twice now. Both times within less than 24 hours of taking it I experienced the metallic taste in my mouth, nausea/vomiting, headache and the worst of all side effects, uncontrollable diarrhea. When I say this, it's not the "let me run to the bathroom quick" kind of diarrhea, it's the kind that if you're not within 5 feet to a washroom then you're basically out of luck. The medicine itself works really fast (my throat started feeling better after one dose) but there's no way that I can be on this medication and go to work for a full day....unless I take a few extra changes of clothes with me. I, unfortunately, seem to be experiencing the worst of the watery diarrhea symptoms associated with it."


"I started using Percocet approximately nine months ago & for the first time in many years I was relatively pain free & could function again. I had no side effects, was alert and never groggy. My dosage was gradually increased from 5/325 to 10. (23 years ago I ruptured a disk at C4/C5 causing debilitating occipital headaches and neck pain. I now have chronic cervical & lumbar pain due to degenerative disk disease & other issues.)  The only problem I found with Percocet was  that it would work for about 1-2 hours and then the pain would return with four hours before my next dosage. Last week I was switched to 10 mg. Opana and once it got in my system, I can go for at least 4 hours relatively pain free. Still need a long lasting medication."


"This is my second round with Rituxan (3 and 1/2 years ago and now). Two years ago I had Bexxar. The first infusion helped shrink the nodes and spleen but only by 1/2.  The Bexxar brought them to normal size. I'm trying Rituxan again because two nodes popped up 2 and 1/2 years after the Bexxar.  It is hoped that the Rituxan will operate as a maintenance to remission.  If so, the two enlarged nodes will be radiated to keep growth in check."


"I have been on BC since the 9th grade. I started to read forums and saw that being on  BC, for over 5 years could lead to abnormal paps. I decided to remove it to see if I lose the 30lbs I gained and with a change to an organic diet will reverse my precancerous  cells and if I'll lose weight too. I never had a period, no cramps, no headaches,  no mood swings. My only issue is the precancerous cells that are in a mild stage and haven't  reversed in almost two years. Other than the weight gain I loved the nexplanon."


"Hello, have been taking this medicine for 5 days for Cellulitis that developed on my leg below the knee. I had waited 7 days prior to seeking treatment. First three days after getting an injection type not known, thick solution and needle and taking Bactrim and Cephalexin showed little signs of improvement, 4 days showed signs of reduced swelling, 5th day swelling all but gone, reduced redness and warmth at sight. 6th day redness reduced greatly and leg feels normal. However, Side effects extreme fatigue, nausea, dry mouth, overall ill feeling. Overall benefits out way side effects."


"Before I started my treatment with Pylera I read the reviews; quite honestly I was terrified and almost did not take the medicine out of fear of experience these side effects. My experience with Pylera: I am on my 6th day and I have not experienced anything besides a slight headache in the morning that goes away as soon as I drink water. My symptoms have almost gone away entirely, and I feel much better. It is a pain in rear to have to take 14 pills a day and not be able to drink alcohol and milk products (both my favorite) but if it is the price for making this feeling of having a wet sock in my chest, I will gladly pay it."


"Crohns Disease 10 years - just started it as needed recently. Has saved me several from having to go to the ER. Slows my bowels so I don't have loose stools while traveling. Works quickly. Little to no side effects - 10mg"


"I had the Mirena for 5 years. It was awesome. Light periods, only had to use panty liners for a couple days. I had it taken out after the 5 years were up and within 5 weeks I found out I was pregnant! (Which was my intention) doctors do recommend letting your body have a few normal periods after removal if you are trying to get pregnant. Nearly miscarried 3 times with severe bleeding and had pre-eclampsia but don't think that had anything to do with the Mirena. "


"I have tried numerous migraine medications, and Frova is the clear winner for me. It worked quickly, didn't cause dizziness, and there was no rebound the next day. If they could just decrease the cost of these medicines it would be perfect. "


"I have had fibromyalgia for about 10 years now. My Dr tried Cymbalta and then Gabapentin which both seemed to help at first, but only for a short time. Then maybe 4 years ago, a new Dr. put me on savella. At first I felt nauseous, dizzy, and had headaches every day. All those symptoms continued, but not as severe, but I started feeling like I could get around better, & my muscles weren't as stiff or sore as before.
But then being diagnosed with BPD and anxiety, those meds weren't where they should be, and I started feeling really down and depressed. I told my Dr 's about it. Then trying to get the savella refilled, I found out they weren't going to refill it  because insurance said I had suicidal ideations. BUT after 4 weeks w/o it, I feel so much better! No sweats, dizziness,etc"


"I was diagnosed with osteopenia in 2000 and took Fosamax for 9 years. My bone density showed slight improvement after 3 years, but still in the osteopenia range. One year later, no improvement. I am grateful to have my bone density fairly stable, but am disappointed to not have had improvement after 9 years. "


"Lowers cholestorol but I have the oddest side effect - I call it itchy feet. In the bottoms only and nothing stops the itchy feeling, except Neurontin. It's an internal nerve itch, not external. I was scratching on concrete, anything to make it stop."


"I am a 360 pound male with borderline type 2 diabetes numbers and no high blood pressure.  Kidneys and liver in great shape.  Doctor helped me with the first dose on a Friday morning, she walked me through the instructions and injected in my belly.  The next morning I was full, no appetite, lethargic, burping rotten eggs, and even got sick (very rare for me).  This continued all day andI had to force myself to eat something that night.  It is day 3 - sour stomach milder, so so sleep, no appetite, less lethargy but still kind of drained.  No bump on my stomach from injection.  To be continued....."


"I was put on Nexplanon in September after having my son in July. I had heard you either love or hate it but I figured I would be fine on it because I never had side effects on other medicines. Boy, was I wrong. My anxiety heightened, my depression worsened, I got terrible acne, I got awful migraines and I bled nonstop for two months. I was also tired and had no energy. I didn't even feel like myself anymore. After having it for four months, I got it removed. My OB said that basically the Nexplanon implant was causing my body to think it was going through menopause. I guess that's the price I had to pay for the convenience of not having to remember to take a pill daily."


"I am new to Lunesta I was taking 10mg of Ambien until it stopped working. Dr started me out on 1mg,  which didn't do much,  as I need as much stuff that would knock a horse out. Very high tolerance. I don't know if I should try 2mg?  Got the yucky taste in mouth and its still there this am. Any suggestions?"


"I was so excited to try Seasonique and have only 4 periods a year.  I've been on it for a year now and during the first few months I felt great and didn't notice any side effects.  As of the last couple of months I've noticed some unexplained weight gain and my face is breaking out.  I've never had acne before and I exercise so I can only guess its the hormones.  On the bright side, my horrible cramps have disappeared and my period only lasts a couple of days, although they have been somewhat heavy.  I haven't decided if I'm going to try another method and see if these side effects go away."


"I only used this one time, it did not work for me and made me feel worse. I hate that I have 4 unused ones that are going to go to waste."


"I had rheumatoid arthritis onset literally overnight in wrist, and within short period, all fingers, elbows and shoulders.  I have negative RF, but elevated Sed Rate.  I pushed my Rheumatologist hard to get in front of the disease progression. I was on Methotrexate alone for about 10 wks, increasing dosage from 12.5mg - 17.5mg but it had marginal impact. I pushed for Humira and within 48 hrs after first injection, I noticed improvement.  I'm six weeks into combination therapy and I'd say I'm 60-70% improved.   Large joints are 90% better but fingers remain stubborn.  Yes, the shot hurts for 10 flipping seconds.  I let it get to room temp for about 30-40 minutes..speciality pharmacist said that was fine.  This medicine is awesome."


"Really not sure why my urologist gave me samples of this drug since my prostate was normal for my age and my PSA was normal. I was not having issues peeing just some discomfort. Anyway, I tried the pills for four days. Nothing changed because I was still up 2-3 times per night like I have for years. But.....the side effects were immediate. Stuffy head, headaches and no ejaculate. Not a drop. Freaked me out. Erection was not as strong and the "climax" took longer to reach and was literally a split second. If you still enjoy sex steer clear of this drug. I'm am stopping immediately and will not return to that doctor. As far as I'm concerned I paid $200 for nothing ."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I was very nauseous and vomited and felt like I had the flu throughout the therapy. I was warned that I might get diarrhea but fortunately I didn't. I got a second endoscopy done and a biopsy to see if the medicine worked, and...it was unsuccessful."


"When I took Accutane, my acne did clear up after a couple of months. But the side effects were very annoying, including excessively dry face and lips and back pain. It actually came to a point that I couldn't continue dancing because of this back pain. I was glad to be finished with it after the allotted time I was prescribed, but then 6 months later my acne came back in full. My doctor said this is normal and usually goes away within weeks, but mine didn't. I'm still struggling with acne despite having taken Accutane."


"DO NOT GET THIS! UNLESS-you're crazy. Has caused-painful breast lumps (still awaiting my ultrasound results from my breast doc), thyroiditis (an inflammed thyroid), thyroid nodules, severe migraines, AWFUL periods (almost all the time, heavy, far more uncomfortable than usual), terrible back pain, fatigue, weight gain, acne. Not to mention the person who inserted it put it too deep, so the first removal attempt was unsuccessful, I have to go back and get it removed with use of Xray/Ultrasound. Huge regret. Not worth the detrimental blow to my health. Prior to getting this-I was HEALTHY. No health problems (aside from the occasional seasonal allergies.) 3 months after insertion-everything went to hell. Coincidence. I (& my doc) think not."


"My review of Cymbalta is the same as my review of Lyrica.  Helps at first then benefits begin to diminish. My trial of Cymbalta lasted for 2 years."


"I was on Vyvance for just under 1 year.  It worked really well.  However as the year went on my mouth got dryer and dryer, until I could only eat soft foods.  I talked to the Doctor and I went off them in the middle of January.   About 3 weeks ago I started a new med called AdderallXR and I can feel my mouth is starting to dry but not like the Vyvance.  While in the USA I found some mini "brush on the go" toothbrushes made by Colgate, called Wisp Max Fresh.  With dryness my teeth always feel like I have a film on them.  Today I used one of the brushes and and it really made my teeth and the dryness feel better.  No  need for water or rinsing.  Maybe I can cut down on the gum and candy. We'll see!"


"I have had heavy periods for the last few years, and it has affected my quality of life. I talked to my doctor and at his suggestion, even though I had previously had an IUD (which caused 3 months non stop bleeding before falling out) and pills (which caused severe stomach upset and in one case an allergic reaction) at his recommendation I got the depo shot.  For the first 2 weeks everything seemed great.  Then it started.. non stop bleeding.  Again.  I am 9 weeks in and I've been bleeding 7 weeks straight.  I am SO sick of it.  Been trying ibuprofine to slow it down.  I had to quit my job and go back to my old career.  The doc wants to put me on a 2nd form of bc to stop it.  I won't let him.  I pray it wears off here in about 3 weeks."


"Had Grade A Breast Cancer that was caught early.  Had a mass and one lymph node removed.  Went on Femara on Nov. 8, 2014, the day after I finished radiation.  At first, I didn't notice anything.  Slowly the pain in my feet started, then other joints in my body.  I felt like I was having trouble getting air into my lungs.  I started feeling like I was in a fog.  I already had been diagnosed with depression years ago which was under control with medication.  I started experiencing depression a couple of weeks ago which included waking up and crying.  That turned into suicidal depression.  Without pain medication, I couldn't move around well.  The bottom of my feet were killing me. I work full time. I quit the Femara 2 days ago."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Drank the 16oz mix straight down followed by 16oz water. Waited about 10 minutes and drank the 2nd 16oz of water. I was in the bathroom at about 30-40 minutes. This stuff works!  I'm scheduled for the 2nd dose at 5 hours after the first. Not loads of fun but nowhere near as tough as expected. Good luck all!"


"I've had "a" really bad headache for over 6 weeks now. On my right side.   I say "a" because it is almost constant, day and night every day.  Seldom have I had headaches my entire life.  I'm now 60.  After 4 visits to a doctor, (the first one prescribed antibiotics saying I had a sinus infection-no help what so ever, the second guy Midrin, same thing). I was prescribed nortriptyline at 25mg once a day by my last visit with a new doctor.  It has been 3 days, so not much change, yet.  I can put up with any/all the side effects mentioned, if I get relief.  I will repost in a week or 2, when hopefully it has kicked in.  Scheduled for a CAT scan in 2 days.....we'll see.  Reading these posts has given me some hope."


"40yr old female!  I have Hoshi thyroid disorder. Had a hysterectomy in my mid 20s which is the cause of my osteoporosis.  I have been on this going on my 4th month so far no side effects.  Small bruising at injection site. I'll have a new scan in about 6 months I feel very hopeful for improved results."


"Implanon was my first form of birth control ever used. It has been very effect for me over the past 3 years. I am due to have it removed soon and plan on having another inserted. The process to have it put in was pretty easy. Hopefully removal is easy as well.  I liked that it was in my arm. It did change my cycle. I didn't have a period for the first 6 months I was on it, and then it returned to normal after."


"I'm a 16 year old girl and I decided to get Implanon 5 months ago. So far so good. No weight gain, no periods, no mood change. However, I dislike not having a period. It makes me worry. Only bad side effect is some cramping from time to time. I love this birth control, give it a try."


"I got the Nexplanon inserted in 2015 and I've had an amazing experience with it. Almost no periods (I only have light spotting occasionally) No weight gain, mood swings, or increase in acne. It's so small I barely remember it's even there and it's a great feeling to know I'm protected from pregnancy 24/7! I definitely recommend this birth control and I am definitely going to get another one inserted when the 3 years is up."


"I am 18 years old. I've been taking abilify for almost two months and it has seriously messed me up. I have anxiety and depression. The only slight improvement I've seen is in my ability to interact socially. Otherwise, I feel awful. I either feel like a complete zombie, or I feel crazy and obsessive. My boyfriend is scared of me because I've become so out of character, and a jealous monster.

I quit cold turkey and feel better than I have since I started taking it. Would not recommend."


"Was first diagnosed with severed emphysema a year ago. Was put on Breo 200/25. It worked great in giving me the ability to breath comfortably. Two months later I had bronchitis that turned into pneumonia and a mild heart attack. After test doctors decided the heart attack was a fluke brought on by being so sick that it put a strain on my heart. While in the hospital they had me on two inhalers, nebulizer every 4 hrs and oxygen 24/7. Which I had to use when I was released. After a week home I went back on the Breo. Within a week I was off the oxygen and able to stop using the rescue inhaler and nebulizer. Four months later I moved and went to a new doctor. He diagnosed me with severe asthma. Now have side effects of anxiety, not sleeping wel"


"Started ambein. Took for years. I built a tolorence.  Now on lunesta at 3mg. Worked for about a month and now I am back to sleepless nights :("


"I have been on implanon for almost three years now and will probably get it again when the time is due. When I first started my periods became spotty and then went away all together. It's fantastic. No mood swings, so weight gain, and no acne either. I was on the depo shot before this and that was complete opposite. I've had no issues with implanon and would definitely recommend it."


"My doctor put me on Sprintec after trying several other pills for birth control and my horrible cramps. The first month I was dizzy and my skin was really oily, but taking it before bed and washing my face more often helped. After the 2nd month the dizziness completely disappeared and my skin looks great. My cramps used to be unbearable and kept me home from work each month, now I can manage them with a heating pad and a few Advil (instead of taking up to 10 a day). My breasts are larger but I haven't noticed a weight gain and it has not affected my sex drive. Everyone is different but if you are trying this and experiencing side effects I suggest trying to stick it out at least for the first month. But when in doubt, ask your doctor!"


"Horrible drug. Avoid it"


"I was suffering from a UTI for over 2 weeks. Burning had stopped but was loosing my mind over how severe the urgency was. I got prescribed macrobid, after 4 days of no relief I went to the ER and got prescribed Cipro 500mg two times a day for 5 days. I took my second pill and my symptoms are 98% gone. The only side effect was a bit of anxiety after the first pill. But, this could've been because I had read so many scary reviews. I'm truly grateful for this drug. I was sleepless and restless to the point of depression. So happy something is finally helping!"


"While the medication did work, as soon as the medication was stopped the diverticulitis came back."


"I love this BC. Not gonna lie, the first month-3 months suck pretty bad. I was nauseous pretty much 24/7 and spotting for a while nonstop, but it's totally worth it. I naturally have chronic anxiety, but this pill never contributed to it. I actually feel like I've calmed down quite a bit since I've been on it. It definitely helps keep my moods in check and feel like a normal person. I only have a 4-5 day period at the end of each pack with one heavy day, usually. I got on this to regulate my periods. And I haven't gotten pregnant thus far. Never gained weight, never changed my appetite, nothing. I've never had a side effect other than the first couple of months. Only bcp that didn't make me crazy!"


"Well, I dont speak english very well but want people know mi experience with zepatier. My first lab before treatment have ALT and AST high, fibroscan F2, viral load over 600000. First week the symptoms were extreme fatigue but better than interferon and Rivabirin. I have depression before treatment but I felt more depressed . The second week the labs results were all good AST and ALT normal range. The symptom of the second week are : my eyes have slow movements like dizzy, the fatigue and loss of appetite but like always like to said 100 percent better than Interferon and rivavirin.
Today I start the second week of the second month and the RNA quantitative its extremely low that they didn't put numbers ,but i need to go to Dr office to be sure"


"I blindly accepted this poison for my first cardiac catheterization and first colonoscopy. It did NOTHING during the procedures. I remember everything and felt everything.

What it did do was make permanent changes in my ability to remember things - especially names. Since then, I'm also frequently searching for common words. I list Versed as an allergy now so it'll never be used on me again."


"Been using for 2 years.  Overall, it does what it's supposed to. At 52 I was just feeling out of it.  Tired all the time, loss of energy, spare tyre weight gain, and some erectile dysfunction.  Tested at 278.  Started with shots, and AndroGel combined, then just AndroGel for the last year.  The shots were far more effective, and cheaper, but my T levels would go way up then way down before the next shot.  The gel keeps it steady.  I have lost a lot of waist line, don't need naps anymore, and sex life is back to what it was in my 30s."


"I have MS & GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD) and GASTROPARESIS and have been taking Metoclopramide 5 mg , 2/ a day for a year then they raised it to 5mg/4 times a day. Soon after they went up 10mg 4/ times a day. When i went to the 4 a day i started having problems. It started with a low grade fever and major confusion and then came the breathing troubles, plus some anxiety that got pretty bad. I could not catch my breath mainly at night. It got so bad I was even starting to panic. It may have caused other side effects but with MS they were hard to tell. I just stopped taking them and after the second night my breathing was a little better.I am hoping that goes away. "


"I was experiencing severe anxiety and panic. I could barely leave my house and everyday activities seemed impossible. I would get dizzy, pounding heart, the works! Also, I couldn't sit still anymore! I could not sit in class, dinners, or even just with friends. My doctor prescribed Zoloft 25mg, a typically low dosage, after an unsuccessful attempt with Lexapro. I have been on Zoloft 25mg for six weeks now and I'm doing tremendously better. The first two weeks or so I experienced minimal, tolerable side effects like foggy feeling the first day, heighten anxiety and restlessness, but nothing too bad. Now I feel great! I can sit for longer periods, little to no obsessive thoughts and am pretty much panic free! I love Zoloft!"


"Amazing! Perfect!"


"After taking this medication for about 6 months I lost over 75 lbs. Now I know everything comes at a price, I have high blood pressure now due to this medicine. Please think long before taking it."


"Hi there! I decided to hop on the bandwagon and write a review if I got my period. Thankfully, here I am, writing this review. I am 18 years old. My boyfriend and I waited 3 years of our relationship to have sex in case a contraceptive fail happened. After having been together for a full 3 years, we had sex! We have been having occasional sex for a while after that and it has been going fine. However, last time, one of our biggest fears came true. The condom broke. At 18 years old, the last thing I want to be is a mom. Him and I have a whole bright future ahead of us. He has gotten many scholarships and has been accepted into a nice college. Luckily, we are fine but let this be a lesson. You have your whole life ahead of you!"


"Brain chemicals became imbalanced due to Lyme Disease, HHV6 & Epstein Barr virus.  As part of my treatment, I was prescribed Zoloft.  It's been very effective in regulating mood and depression symptoms. The few times I have tried going without it for a few weeks (under doctors supervision, of course) the depression and mood symptoms returned."


"Have taken both Nuvigil 250-375 and Provigil 200-300 (1 to 1.5 tabs of each) They are wonderful for both memory and  Attention (don't have Hyperactive/Impulsive criteria);  Not amphetamines, I have stopped suddenly with no withdrawal whatsoever;  Schedule 4 not 2--Dont have to see Dr every month. No side effects at all for me"


"Started two days ago, so far fo good.  Would like to hear from those who have been on Victoza for 3 months or more.  Thanks"


"I just had my Implanon inserted in March and since then I have had ONE period and it lasted 2 days. I had previously suffered from severe PMS and had horrible cramps, fatigue, and back aches, but now, I have none of that, probably because I haven't had a period except once. Every now and then, I will get what could be considered a period (dark discharge) but other than that, everything is great. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone young and doesn't want to worry about condoms or pills. It was a great choice."


"I've been taking Saphris for about 6 months and it's been a wonder of a miracle! I can finally function and accomplish daily tasks. Before I was depressed all the time now I have lots of energy and I think more clearly. It's heaven sent."


"Took 4 pills a day for 2 days. I am at about 13 hours from my last pill as I write this. Maybe I was extremely lucky, but I didn't have any negative side affects. No Metallic taste, no nausea, no headaches, etc.  I also notice a positive dif "down there".  I took one pill at a time - 1 with breakfast, 1 with lunch, 1 with afternoon snack & 1 with dinner. Maybe that helps to reduce side affects rather than taking multiple at once? I drank a lot of water and did not have any Alcohol since starting them."


"Had Synvisc 1 injection Sept 14 2017. Injection was very painful but well worth it. With injection and continued physical therapy 100% improved in first week. I did have acid refluxed 3 hours after the injection but I do have food allergies and discussed this with my Orthopedist before receiving the injection.  This injection may not be for everyone but is definitely for me."


"Easiest way to not have babies... light bleeding for a month, headaches, mood swings, acne and weight gain... after 4 months all clear up except for the waight gain it was only 13 pounds but for my height it was alot no periods for almost 1 year and half after that i had normal to light periods every other month. My doctor decided to remove it because i wasn't able to lose those gained pounds , we thought it will be better with something else with less hormones!!!"


"Frankly, I’m surprised by the bad reviews. My constipation is severe. It at one point sent me to the emergency room. Reason? A stimulant laxative. Never again. I have never been a “1/2 pill is too much girl”. Movantik doesn’t overwhelm my body.
My husband lost his mother to a burst bowel so he is especially concerned. Never was a “poop a day girl” either. Having found Movantik is why I’m breathing a sigh of relief. If I can ever get off the opioids, it will be a happy day. But until then, I thank the Movantic developers. True I, on occasion, will take a nausea pill but I did that before Movantik. Now you can’t pry it from my cold dead hands!!! It helps me and our piece of mind to have Movantik assist me."


"My cvs decided to switch my normal brand tri-sprintec to tri-estraylla. I had been on tri-sprintec for years with no issues whatsoever. At first i thought everything was going fine but by month 3 it got horrible. my period was heavy and horrible. i was in severe pain and i had so many heavy clots i thought i had a miscarriage. after this eventually subsided i had breakthrough bleeding, heavy and light, which has continued and is still going on even now. this has been 3 full weeks or more. its insane. it has ruined a lot of really good clothes because you wouldn't know when it was going to come and bam there it is. it has really put a damper on my sex life! totally disgusted. so i'm forcing CVS to order my original pills because i am done!"


"Sleepy sleepy mental things mostly no complaints im greatful gtype 3a and on my way regardless of any side effects id recomend to anybody in need"


"Switched from Depo to Nexplanon at the recommendation of my doctor, who was concerned with me being on Depo for longer than two years. The insertion appointment took 15-20 minutes and aside from a bruise that lasted 1-2 weeks it was quick and painless. I didn't have a period on Depo and that has continued with Nexplanon. I've had Nexplanon about 6 months now and have had light spotting once and am glad to still not have a period. No other noticeable side effects and it is nice not to have to go the doctors every 3 months. So glad that insurance pick-up the entire bill aside from an $8 pregnancy test."


"I've  been taking it  - 10 mg - once a day, usually at night. It has definitely helped lower my blood pressure. But I've developed an annoying cough. Can't seem to take a deep breath in. I'll get checked out by my doctor - maybe try something else that doesn't cause coughing."


"I have just started on Lamictal last month and I'm currently ramping up in small increments without any problems.  I seem to be more solid in my decisions and moods already and have found it helpful in conjunction with my other medicines which include Pristiq, Invega, and Klonopin.  I have noticed a slight increase in weight which I will have to watch carefully.  All in all, I think it is a positive addition to my regimen."


"Took 200mg daily for 30 days after testing positive for lyme.

Cleared up symptoms within a few days but made me very tired and had trouble sleeping at night.

To be honest, felt worse on the antibiotic than when I did with lyme as it made me very anxious and restless at night time.

Some People, why are taking this for more than a month, lol? I just read a lady on here taking it for 5 years... felt worse as soon as she stopped (deep sigh) this is called a placebo response, look it up and save your gut biome.

Lyme can't live outside your white blood cells as it's a spirochete, meaning cyst lyme doesn't exist. Please don't believe this chronic lyme crap.

Go and read some evidenced based journals for god sake."

"I was on this pill for a year and am now going off because my doctor suggested a switch. The pill caused slight irrational emotions, but were fairly manageable (I would find myself starting to tear up over insignificant things fairly frequently) The pill did not effect sex drive, yet the periods were irritating. There was no cramping and they were light, which is a plus. The negative aspect was even though the periods were light they would last a while (7-10 days) and it seemed once every three months I would get 2 periods in one month. The periods would hardly ever come when the packet predicted, yet the pills did their job. I experienced no weight gain, no improvement or worsening of acne break outs, and obviously no pregnancy."


"I tried by Bystolic when it first came on the market and after several days experienced what I believe a heart attack would feel like had the same issue with 2 other beta blockers doc made the choice to stay away from the beta blocker class but at 33 my body said something was wrong after many tests and docs I learned I had tachy-Brady syndrome my blood pressure on 5 meds was high and my pulse was climbing averaging 120 the option I was given was surgery or medication so I tried a slight dose 2.5mg of Bystolic and as they warned me it dropped my pulse so much i couldn't function but half of that dose has lowered my heart rate enough to get me into the safe zone and my blood pressure is slightly lower with no side effects"


"Worked really well over just a few days."


"I have been suffering acute pain (on scale 1-10 stays between 7-10)  due to a fibrolipoma in my lower lumbar. Seems likely I have something called Tethered Cord Syndrome. Was put on naproxen by one doctor and after taking it for a few years was sick of the way it made me feel so I stopped taking it. Noticed that when not taking it I felt just as much pain as when I was taking it, so it was not helping AT ALL. Everyone needs to know that naproxen only works for pain caused by inflammation, it will do nothing for nerve damage, in my experience."


"After purchasing the medicine  for shoulder pain I followed directions and applied 4 times a day. The second day the applied area ( upper arm and shoulder ) was turning dark. By the end of second day the arm was black swollen and painful. Emergency room visit did not provide any relief other than telling
Me to discontinue use of gel. I have a artificial heart valve that requires that I take blood thinner which was discussed with the prescribing physician and had been used as prescribed. The arm continued to swell and the blackness continued down the arm with pain that became unbearable. A ambulance was summoned to take me back to the hosital emergency room personnel could not diganose the situation completely and I was admitted to the ward. Surgery was required"


"I decided to choose paragard because I haven't done well in the past on hormones. I tend to be very sensitive to hormones and feel sick, gain weight and become very emotional. I decided to try paraguard and so far have loved it. Yes you have cramps and slightly longer periods, but you get your period almost to the hour every month. I have always had heavier/worse cramps than most people I know so this has been nothing for me (at least nothing some advil or a little wine can't fix!) It was a little painful being put in BUT its effective right away and lasts for 10 years!! I have had this for almost a full year now and will definitely be keeping it until I decide to have children."


"I have been on my period for well over a month after just forgetting one pill. I also have all of the horrible side effects including cramps, bloating, and breast tenderness."


"Hi, 36 year old male here.  I've been on Strattera for 2 weeks already and so far so good.  My metabolism has always been fast so I noticed an improvement on the 1st day!  I was able to concentrate and focus at work and it has enabled me to focus in class(I'm in grad school).  For me, the medicine kicks in about 1/2 hour after I take it and for the first 10-15 minutes or so, I get a sort of sleepy feeling but once I start a mental activity, it goes away.  Its very weird because I tried to take it at night and although it gives me that "sleepy" feeling, the medicine keeps my brain awake.  One time I took it at 9pm and I couldn't fall asleep till 4am!  After that event, I just find it better to take it in the morning after my workout."


"I've been through the mill with birth control pills. I've probably tried and quit 10 contraceptives. I LOVE this pill, though. It helps with regulating my periods since I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and now I'm actually able to get pregnant. I might mention that I'm a decently sized woman, too. It completely stopped my acne. I've never, knock on wood, had any problems with blood clots, quickened heart rate, high blood pressure, headaches, increased appetite, decreased appetite, tenderness of breasts, or an increase in the depression I already suffer from. I would recommend this contraceptive to any woman. Get this birth control! You will not be sorry."


"I have recurring iritis (uveitis) and have used Durezol numerous times when my condition flares up.  I keep a bottle at home on the advice of my opthalmologist so that I can start treatment on a weekend if I can't get through to a doctor. The drops are very soothing and have what seems to be a nearly immediate impact. The discomfort starts to subside, along with the redness.  I rely on it, along with Atropine Sulfate, which keeps the pupil dilated.  In fact, if I put the Durezol drops in first, the Atropine doesn't sting as much. Durezol has worked very well for me."


"I was recently in the hospital for a panic attack, and everyday since I've had high anxiety. I was given this that night and it helped me cope, but I would always go to sleep when I took one. After a month I got put on sertraline (still waiting to see a difference), and the night anxiety got worse. So I take this when I feel I wont be able to talk myself out of a panic attack."


"Doesn't work went from 15 - 30mg been on them a month, not sleeping at night still have low mood!"


"I had previously been on birth control for two years. The last year on the pill they changed it to continuous use due to intense cramping/bleeding I experienced. I had been thrilled at the concept of having no periods, until I started heavily spotting. For a majority of 9 months I had one colossal period and my OBGYN finally suggested to try an IUD(skyla to be exact). I am 20 years old and have never been pregnant. I had the iud placed March 10th 2015 and I have to admit the insertation was painful despite the ibuprofin I had taken, but also very quickly done. The pain has definitely seemed worth it, my cramps are now virtually gone and my "periods" are now constant and are VERY light spotting. Not to add, my PMS from bc is gone too!"

"I started taking Yasmin to clear my skin. I had history of migraine with aura but haven't had it for the last 6 months. Second month taking Yasmin I had 3 migraine attacks in one week and ended up in ER. I stop taking the pills immediately"


"Works fast and was effective for me, but the side effects left me in never-never land.  Could not think straight, had no short-term memory, was dizzy, and had no sense of time.  Good Luck and keep trying till you find one that works for you."


"I have been on oxycodone (30 mg) for almost 2 years along with Vicodin 10/325. I take the Vicodin everyday and take the oxycodone as needed (usually 4 pills a day) it's great. It gives me the power to work and get stuff done. Without this I would be in bed in too much pain to do anything, therefore not able to work and support myself. I strongly recommend this to anyone in pain. It has been the only reason I have been able to carry on in my life."


"I was diagnosed with PH   CML during December 2009. I was put on Imatinib Mesylate 400 mg since 1.1.2010. With Imatinib, My counts are well within normal limits and so far PH Chromosome has remained negative, till date. I have side effects like muscle cramps, headache, fluid retention, abdominal bloating, mild diarrhea , anxiety, sleeplessness and mood swings. Incidence of headache have come down. Fluid retention is relieved with Lasilactone, Bone pain relieved with Calcium and Vit D3. I take Wheat Grass juice & Beetroot Carrot Ginger juice and do certain Yoga specially for Cancer."


"This is the best rescue inhaler out there. It works as well as albuterol and doesn't make me half as jittery. I highly recommend it. Albuterol made my hands shake so badly, that people would ask me if I was okay. There is no reason to still take albuterol when Xopenex exists."


"Zofran is great for nausea, but watch out for the constipation. I was prescribed 15 8mg tablets last week and have used one tablet a day since then (about 5 days now) and after waiting, walking, drinking copious amounts of water, I am going to need to try a suppository, or laxative, and have my dosage of zofran decreased to 4 mg. Great medication, it DOES give me nausea relief, just something to be prepared for, I know I wasn't."


"I got extremely nauseous and that never happens to me , I can't make it stop . I stopped taking it a week ago and I still experience the pain. It makes me cry how sick I get sometimes . If you know anything to help please let me know . Overall I don't recommend this drug AT ALL !"


"Have Stage 4 metastatic melanoma. Started on Keytruda after new metastasis showed up. After 2nd infusion, side effects started to become very painful - lots of muscle and joint pain, couldn't move my arms hardly. Also have a lot of nerve issues in my arms and hands. When I went for my 3rd infusion (they're done every 3 weeks) my oncologist said I needed to stop treatment and start on a steroid to calm down my immune system, which Keytruda revs up into high gear to go after the melanoma. It's been two weeks on Prednisone, and the side effects from the Keytruda are still strong, so I can't resume treatment and still have to stay on the steroid. Bummer, because it actually made the tumor on my leg disappear, which Ipi (Yervoy) didn't."


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


"I just switched to this pill from one that made me gain weight (all to boobs and butt so I'm not reeeeeally complaining but still.) This is my first period with this pill, and I'm rejoicing. I've always had extra heavy periods, and they usually last 8-9 days, so it was basically hell. I had gotten used to sleeping on a towel I always ended up leaking onto my sheets and ruining them, and I was resigned to a life of painfully large super   tampons. But today - I wore a regular tampon and didn't leak? And I can wear a regular pad and sleep without a towel? This is amazing and I love it. A   "


"Have been taking Zestril for many years, starting with 20 mg, and last year the doctor increased to 40 mg. Have had no noticeable side effects, and it controlled my pressure for many years prior to last year.  I am 75 years old now, so I suppose it is normal to need an increased dosage.  The doctor also added Cardizen CD last year, as I had an episode of rapid heartbeat (over 200bpm) while in his office, and he sent me to the ER.  Since taking Cardizem CD for more than a year, I have had no repeat episodes.  No noticeable side effects either."


"I started taking this my senior year in high school, and after 6 months on it, my GPA has come up at least 1 point! I take it during the week, and I have no problems with headaches or loss of appetite, and it helps wake me up and keep me up. I love it!"


"I've been on depo since I was 13, I'm now 34. It has worked wonderfully for me and I don't really have any serious complaints. But a couple years ago, I started spotting out of the blue! I've never had that issue before, as my periods had completely stopped. Not sure if it is normal or not, but it's extremely painful and there is no way to track it or plan for it."


"This is a wonder drug. The first time I had a yeast infection, it lasted for months, with unbearable itching, blisters and bleeding. Because there was no discharge, I didn't think it was a yeast infection, and because I had been previously diagnosed with lichen sclerosus, I thought this constant pain and misery was just how my life would always be from then on. When I went to see my gyn, she said it didn't look like a yeast infection, but said we should do a test anyway. Lo and behold, it was a YI. My doc gave me fluconazole, and one pill fixed everything. Since then, any time I get YI symptoms (unfortunately often because I have to take regular antibiotics) I take this, and it's always worked. It's also cheaper than OTC!"


"I love my Nuva ring.  I was on it a couple of years ago but had to stop because my insurance wasn't covering it 100%.  I got a mirena IUD instead.  After a year of being miserable with the IUD, I had it removed and went back to Nuva ring which my insurance is now covering again.
I haven't had any side effects that are different from regular birth control pills.  I actually have less problems because I would immediately start my period if I was even a couple of hours late taking my pill.
It is very convenient and I don't have problems with it falling out.  My partner says he can occasionally feel it during sex but that it isn't uncomfortable.
There are risks with the NR just like with any form of birth control or with pregnancy."


"This is the only medicine that treats my BV. I wish it were a shot or IV though because the side effects are terrible. No matter how I try to mask the taste it still ends up on my tongue. On top of that, the medication makes me feel like I have the flu-- severe nausea, vomiting, weakness, and loss of appetite. I should finish the course but don't think that I can swallow another pill if I tried."


"I've been taking this medication for quite awhile, and while it worked at first, I noticed that I quickly started building up a tolerance to it. Every couple of weeks, my dose is increased, and it's been very frustrating. While it does get me to sleep, it doesn't help me stay asleep. Also, there has been a tremendous amount of weight gain, which I can't lose even with diet and exercise. Great for short term, not for long term."


"It has been a year since I had a drink and I thank God every day for giving me my life back.  I took Campral every day for four months and it helped my will power to quit and calmed my urges to drink again.  I had a prescription for six months but didn't need it anymore after 3 or 4.  There is no magic pill for anything in life but I highly recommend this medicine to help kick the booze habit.  Please ask your  doctor about Campral and get control of your life again."


"My doctor gave me Flomax to help get rid of urinary obstruction issues, the cause of which and exact reason for are still unknown. Am mostly writing to describe one of its more surprising side effects. 3 Weeks into the drug I start having very vivid and horrible dreams, every single night. Extremely bizarre dream scenarios, some sexual in nature but with a very twisted angle, some gore, some psychological, lucid dreams that make me feel like am having a schizophrenic breakdown in real life. Its fairly insane, and happening so regularely that I have no question its a side effect of the drug. Just wanted to warn people. If you are currently writing a screenplay for a horror film and are having writers block, this is the drug for you."


"I have thoracic nerve-spur left side past 18 years and other neurologic conditions as nerve damage from shingles after radiation and seven pinched nerves spine with 75% left side paralysis this is the only medication that has worked for me allowing me to tolerate pain. After six years taking opiates, as codeine, hydrocodone, Demerol and cortisone daily 2 years of completed rehab for opiates only taking Anacin still suffered with this condition. Found neurologist for treatment with this product only daily avg every 8 hours, now only occasional requirement of opiates only six a month avg compared to 6 daily for 5 years (prior) when severe strain. Normally after 5 days and severe pain I will experience thoracic nerve spasms without medicine."


"This is the greatest drug invented. I have degenerative disc disease and I am still very young and have young children. These don't make me sleepy like most other pain medicines and I am able to care for my children and go to work everyday. It really helps with my pain. It does make me a little nauseated but I found if I eat a little that helps. I don't know what I would do without it."


"I really like Concerta. I was on Adderall before but had really bad anxiety and sleep side effects and even more side effects, so my doctor gave me a Concerta prescription and I took it and felt so energized and focused. I love Concerta so much the only complaint would be it lowers my appetite and gives me a bad mood sometimes but I use Prozac to balance that out and this medicine is amazing, I tested it on video games and kept winning because how focused I was. This medicine is great for ADHD I highly reccomend it."

"This is my first birth control pill I've ever been on so I don't have anything to compare it to but I am 16 years old and have 11 day periods which are extremely heavy with terrible cramps, fatigue, and headaches. My gyn put me on this and everything was great for the first 3 weeks. I never had any breakthrough bleeding. I did have some slight cramps for the first week but they were nothing compared to what I've been on. I am on the first day of the placebo and so far no bleeding but I do have awful cramps again which I thought the pill was supposed to take care of this. If this is the way my period is going to be every month I might ask my doctor about Seasonique so I only have to deal with this once every 3 months."


"Holy crap. I don't write reviews, in fact I'm pretty sure this will be the first and quite possibly the last, but I have to share this with you... Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP. The first 3 months of using Tretinoin are going to be hell on earth. Your face is going to hurt, (all the time) you're going to want to hide, and you're going to want to cry yourself to sleep some nights. Acne hurts, emotionally, physically and mentally. BUT Tretinoin DOES help. I've been using this cream for about 3 1/2 months and guys, I have one zit. ONE. This cream "purges" your skin, a.k.a. every zit you ever thought you had comes to surface - at my worst I had 20+ whiteheads, not including the cystic bumps or tiny little red bumps. But now my face is clear!"


"I was diagnosed with Hep C and chronic Cirrhosis stage 3 a day after my 62 Birthday. I have been in recovery from Alcohol and Drugs for over 32 years but was IV user in 1974. Total surprise and shocked. I felt fatigue this last year, had some discomfort in my stomach area and some nosebleeds as well as headaches. I have always been healthy and this was out of the ordinary for me. I have been on Epclusa for 6 weeks and feel so much better. Very minimal side effects of headache and joint pain as well as sweating specially when in direct sunlight. I am so pleased with this treatment and thankful every day when I take the medication. Co-pay of $5.00 is amazing."


"40lbs in 8 weeks, stopped the cravings , I don't feel addicted to food since I started taking it, for me it has been a miracle."


"I found I had unusual energy and didn't feel my back pain, was able to do a lot of the manual chores involved in renovations and spring cleaning that I put off (due to pain and lack of motivation). So far no effects of longing for a dose. I take only when the pain comes back. I'm waiting for the negative but so far ... it's great!"


"I am a 49 year old female who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I am taking Risperidone 2 mg a day with 75 mg of Effexor. I was severely depressed and suicidal everyday.  Lexapro made me extremely anxious and nervous. I think 75 mg of Effexor is helping a lot.  I am now not as depressed or suicidal. I am now regaining my energy and interest back. For everyone who struggle with depression/bipolar out there: don't give up HOPE. Things will get better and you will recover. I believe that. Hang in there, seek help and know that I am rooting for your quick recovery. Best wishes to all of you."


"I have been on vraylar a year now and it's by far the best medication I have been on. I did have restlessness at first but I have lost over 50#'s since being on it. I feel like I got my life back."


"I've been a binge drinker on and off for about 4 years. This last binge lasted about 5 days around the clock. Going through withdrawal begins almost immediately for me if I don't drink every hour or so. I get extreme anxiety, heart racing, minor shakes and can't just settle down. My doctor gave me a Librium taper starting on 50mg every 6 hours day one and going down from there. I My experience with the first dose is that it did not do anything for me. I was still just as miserable. Once I took the second dose I was able to fall asleep. Today I'm pretty anxious but it does that the edge of. It's not a magic bullet that cures all withdrawal symptoms. Good luck!"


"This medication seems to work for me. No side effects thus far that I am aware of. Have been taking this med a long while."


"I have been suffering from Obsessive compulsive disorder since I was 18. It was not until I was 26 did I discover that I had OCD. I have been on Lexapro for about 5 years now and it is still working, though I have kicked up the dosage a little bit. In short, it SAVED my life. First few weeks on it can be tough, but don't get discouraged - take Xanax if you spike during the initial phase of taking it. But once it kicks, no need for benzos, the medicine worked wonders. I was actually taking a pretty low dose.  Around 15mg per day, then I tried to taper off to 10mg, but didn't work.  I am back up to 20mg. I hear that anywhere between 20mg and 40mg is a good dose, so I will stick with the low-end since my symptoms are under control even after 5 years."


"25 yr old woman UK., I was very low for 3 and a half years, I didn't really realize i was getting more and more depressed until the past 6 months, and 4 months ago I found it hard to get out of bed or talk! Being shy and anxious as well it was really hard to pluck up the courage to go to my doctor, Which was embarrassing as I just cried and cried in his office and he wasn't very concerned and put me on citalopram 20mg, this wasn't very helpful and I did feel zombie like. I decided to stop using it after 3 months but then I got really REALLY depressed and went to a different doctor who put me on sertraline 50mg, its been close to 2 weeks and I feel like I'm actually getting better. A more supportive doctor was nearly as good as this, for me."


"This is not a medicine for someone like me with moderate acne. I am on my second pack and already I am braking out like crazy. And not small pimples at all. No other side effects, just that. But for me that's enough. Guess my old pill really did keep my skin clear so even though I like the no period thing, I will have to change back."


"I am a 59 year old male. Had prostate laser surgery about 5 years ago(worked great except for retrograde ejaculation). Can get erection without Cialis but when I take 10 mg it works great. Get vary hard, aroused easily throughout the day like I am a 20 year old. It is the only medication I take. doing 10 mg a day but if I miss it lasts longer. Great for old guys makes me feel good about myself."


"I've had chronic, unmanageable insomnia for almost 7 years. It took my life from me. I never thought it would reach the point where my doctor--who I no longer see--gave me HUGE amounts of medicine and put me in a mental hospital for 3 days! I found a sleep specialist who confirmed I am NOT CRAZY, he tried me on a few medicines that didn't work--I was getting roughly 2-4 hours per night for YEARS--and finally, he tried this medicine. WOW. It's not perfect because my illness iS an illness that I will struggle with for a long time, but I've been getting better. My life was a disaster for so long that I cried every single day. Now, I'm beginning to feel like myself again. I hope you all do too."


"I been on Tri-Previfem since 2014, Since my Insurance wouldn't cover Ortho Tricyclen, I like that it helped with my heavy periods and completely took away those bad cramps I would get every month. about 3 months ago I started feeling so bad when it was a couple of days before my period supposed to come one. I would get so moody, depressed and at times if something really gets to me I would really flip out. I really didn't pay it much attention until I started to get them more around the same time each month. Its not as bad as it was when I first started having problems with it. I will continue to take them and hope that the pill company isn't taking away anything or putting anything bad in them"


"I started on 30mg a day for a month for fibromyalgia and had moderate pain relief along with and some mild side effects that faded after a few weeks (mostly trouble staying asleep). Then I bumped up to 60mg and it was extremely helpful with reducing my pain!! I was able to do things with energy and not crash so much at night! However, I'm apparently one of the unlucky few who get really bad psychological effects from it. After 3 months of denying the increasing depression, I ended up being hospitalized for wanting to kill myself. Fortunately the psychiatrist who treated me recognized the importance of pain management and he has me on 30mg of Cymbalta again with an added dose of Lamictal (mood stabilizer) to combat the crazy. It helps."


"I've been on this for about a month now. I'm 25 and my sex drive is almost completely gone. I started it before my period so my doctor said that my period would be late. I was fine with that. It wasn't late I started out with spotting and then what was like a normal flow. I'm now going on almost 2 weeks of bleeding. I hardly ever get cramps and on this it's pretty much cramps so often that I want to double over in pain. I get lightheaded and dizzy, nausea, my mood swings are crazy. I go from happy to crying or angry for no reason. I noticed my breasts have been tender. My feet and hands have swelling issues to the point where it hurts to walk or grab anything. I'm on the placebo part of my first pack so I'm hoping the side effects go away."


"Loved it at first. Regular light periods 3-4 days no weight gain no cramping, and I could skip my period it was like heaven in the form of a tiny pill. Then unexpectedly after all these years of being on it at the age of 24 I woke up with extreme pain in my right arm inner elbow area I couldn't bend my are all the way or extend it completely without having pain. I thought maybe I pulled a muscle or something but after a week of pain and discomfort I went to the emergency room where I was diagnosed with a deep vien thrombosis (blood clot) I had to be ambulanced to another hospital and spent 5 days on the surgical floor because they thought they would have to remove it. Thousands of $'s in hospital bills that I struggled to pay at 24"


"I completed all 3 shots about 2 weeks ago.  My knee is feeling so much better.  I don't need my cane anymore.  I went back to Exercise class this week and can do the standing exercises again.  Very impressed!"


"My mother takes Lyrica for bulging disc pain - 450mg a day (150mg 3 times a day). Roughly she takes it every 6 hours. The pain relief is great, but sometimes struggles to get through those 6 hours before the next does. It has helped a lot."


"Been taking Daily 4+ years living normal life
Had one bad outbreak fall 2012 and then little sensations/paranoid so requested to go on daily suppression and for my boyfriend - he doesn't have and check with my doctor every year
Totally safe to continue"


"I've got one toe with fungal infection, have tried everything. Using Jublia for 5 months now.  Some improvement, better than anything else.  I would like to keep using this, however the price is ridiculous.  The cost is $1000 a month.  After insurance, I'm left with nearly $300/mo for this medicine. HOW can this possibly cost this much?? For one toe I can't justify this.  I'm very disappointed as I think it will probably clear this toe up but seriously....GREEDY company..."


"It works"


"At this writing - Ive had Euflexxa shots 3 times over the last 2 years . The 1st time the shots lasted about 6 months - the 2nd about 3  .Was going to have a Total Knee reconstruction - but thought to try the shots one last time .  Day after the 2nd round my right knee was so stiff that I could barely walk - and that had been the lesser of the 2 ! The 3rd round of shots were put off an extra week to let the knee settle     . After 2 weeks of the 3 shots both knees are just now starting to feel better and fairly pre arthritis normal . How long this round of Euflexxa lasts Ive no idea - different results , different people ,different times .The 1st 2 times Im glad to have had the shots -  3rd I almost wish Id not done and just had the inevitable surgery"


"Well just sharing my experience. I had unprotected sex so  I went and got the plan b pill 9 hours later. I didn't eat anything I just took it then immediately I felt tired I took a nap. As a week or two weeks went by my stomach became very bloated and today I just got my period but still my breasts are bigger and my stomach is still very bloated. I haven't had any severe side effects from it and this was my very first time taking it. I hope the bloating will go away soon bc basically it looks like I'm pregnant but I have my period so maybe I'll take a test later on in the month just to make sure. But the pill was pretty decent I didn't get sick at all."


"Hi this is my 3rd bottle I haven't lost any weight yet but I haven't gained any either and I haven't been exercising like I should but I'm starting a gym next week so it will most likely work better I take two pills in the morning one pill at lunch and two pills before dinner so 4 pills all together The only side effect I have had that is negative is hard stool and constipation but if you take stool softeners and fiber pills they help big-time One of the things I like most about this medication is it does curb your hunger it does do that so I'm hoping to loose weight soon at 208 now fingers crossed"


"I had the depo injection for 8 years and my doctor made me stop it even though I had not been sent for a bone scan!! He gave me a choice of other birth controls as I have three beautiful kids I needed something as effective as the depo which 100% agreed with me no periods, no weight gain it was great. So I went for the bar in my arm as doctor told me same hormones as the depo (ya right) 6 months I have this in my arm and have gained 2 stone, feel crap about myself terrible outbreaks of acne (never even had spots as a teenager) and feeling low and depressed and periods every two weeks!!! Mine is coming out next week never again I'm.going back on the depo I'll drink plenty of milk for the bones lol"


"It has been about 3 months now since I started taking it and I am down 25lbs. I am at the second dosage and the only side effect I have is constipation but my doctor has given me Miralax to help  me with that. In the beginning my LFT's were elevated and this past week for my 3 month check up all my labs are normal. I will continue because I have a long way to go along with my diet and exercise but with my new found motivation I am going to get there."


"While it brought the TSH into the appropriate range, the exhaustion, lethargy, constipation, etc. was unbearable.  For 20 hours out of the day, felt drowsy, unmotivated and sleepy.  This is no way to live.  Got on Tirosint and what a difference."


"I didn't even know I had a bladder infection, showed up in urine test. So I guess its working. I do feel tired after working out and exhausted later on in the day. On it for a week, twice a day 100 mg."


"It did hurt but it was quick. It was pretty uncomfortable, like any OBGYN visit. The part that hurt the most was when they pinched the cervix. It was sharp and crampy. But it only last like a 30 seconds. I did feel cramps the rest of the day. My period is now very light and I get mild cramps. They are not as bad as they used to be. I thought my periods were going to be gone for good tho :( lol oh well. It is a great feeling knowing I will not be pregnant at least before I am 22. :)"


"Zoloft has made my life worth living. If you suffer from depression, anxiety or OCD this drug can make your life better. Never any side effects that I could tell. I am able to manage my emotions much better and that little knot in my stomach that was there so long is gone. Give it a try.

"Due to tremendous stress lately, I was no longer able to perform as well as before, hence I took it for the first time yesterday. It worked wonders. I managed to do it three times within a few hours and each time lasted 2/3 times more than usual. Felt like I was half my age again. However  there seemed to be some side effects, such as the facial flushing and slight head throbbing."


"The only thing Loestrin succeeds at doing is preventing pregnancy.  I've experienced weight gain, crazy spotting that is disruptive to everyday life, extreme anger, frustration, depression, etc."


"It's 1:23 am here.  I thought I would die!!!!!!!  Day three of Monistat 3.  I thought the last two nights were a nightmare, boy was I wrong.  I have never felt such intense burning and itching in my life.  I took a very hot (as in hotter than hell) bath and I feel so much better.  I don't know what's going on with this stuff but it's badddd.  I guess it's going to take a female attorney to try this stuff out and file a class action lawsuit.  Maybe we'll see the commercial "IF YOU USED MONISTAT AND THOUGHT YOU WOULD DIE CALL THE FOLLOWING NUMBER".  Please do not use this product."


"I'm taking it now. I experienced side effects that are making me get off it. I have severe chest pain, smoke more, sweat like crazy, happier then normal, don't eat, drink liquids all day and night."


"I had a horrible time with this birth control. Originally went on it to get rid of my periods, which it did but also managed to screw me over. I quickly noticed my hair was thinner, and it continued to fall out in huge clumps. My doctors told me it had to be my diet and there was no way it was caused by my pill, which I had coincidentally started right before. I became very depressed, to where I would not get out of bed. I remember watching buses on the street and wishing one would hit me and kill me. My labia became dry and flat and it hurt to touch it. I gained weight in weird places and felt horrible about myself. As soon as I went off this pill, it all went away. So trust yourself and get off this pill if you have weird side effects."
