"Though it did do it's job,  had a lot of burning and irritation. Hopefully this doesn't happen to everyone. Good luck trying to sleep or do anything for that matter! "


"I've been on Victoza for almost 3 months.  Why didn't someone tell me about this sooner. There are some side effects in the beginning. Nausea, headaches, loss of appetite but they only lasted a few weeks. I did experience bad stomach cramps and major nausea when I increased to 1.2 but I called my Doctor and she told me to stick with the 0.6 until my next visit which she kept me on.  My sugar levels have been great 95-115 far cry from the 200-300's my A1C went from 7.6 to 6.2 in 2 months and I have lost 22lbs so far.  I also take metformin 1000mg 2x day.  I have noticed that my blood pressure has increased slightly so we are watching that and may need to increase my blood pressure medicine. About administering the shot. I was intimidated at 1st but it's painless."


"No pill is for everyone, but this medication honestly changed my life. I am 23 and have been on it since I was 17. Before it, I was miserable, couldn't focus, and constantly wanted to die. I struggle with GAD and Depression, and this medication has honestly been the only thing to make it bearable. My life feels manageable, and I know I can conquer anything. I interact with people in a way that represents who I really am, not in a way that reflects my anxieties and insecurities.  I almost didn't finish high school before Effexor and I now have a BA in Political Science and am heading off to law school.  Like I said, this medication isn't for everyone, but it honestly changed my life and I will forever be grateful."


"I gave the Nuvaring a 5 rating for a couple of reasons 1) for the first 3 months I was on it, it was fantastic.  2) It gave me the best gift I never knew I was missing, my daughter.  But, I didn't have any side effects for the first 3 months - just a rather shocking pregnancy after that. "


"I was on this medication since 2006. I had no side effects or problems. It worked well, we had to keep increasing my dosage on it though. I also combined it with Depakote, which apparently raises your Lamictal levels. Yes you can become toxic on this medication like Depakote. I had to get off the medication because I became toxic, I was taking 300mg a day and 1250mg of Depakote daily. My symptoms were drunk look, double vision, slurred speech, short term memory loss, I started bumping into walls, my eyes were glazed over. I just got stupid towards the end. I even went to the hospital telling them I was toxic, they did not believe me. It can happen, I guess I became intolerant of the medication."


"I have been on Lamictal for seven years (300 mg morning and  200 mg in the evening). I had been on Topamax before but my neurologist switched because of side effects.  After the switch, my amount of seizures increased dramatically to about 5 per month and I was having them without any warning.  It was as if I was not on any medication! I have always been controlled with medicines. The neurologist refused to believe it was from the Lamictal and kept saying it was because my body had to adjust to the change in medicine. After about 6 months, a doctor at a different hospital put me on Keppra in addition to the Lamictal.  I have only had one seizure since. "


"Intuniv has made a huge change in my sons attitude.  After being on Strattera for 1.5 years, it stopped working.  It may have been due to a growth spurt, but the sudden change was awful. Intuniv has made a tremendous change and is working.  Intuniv is time released and 1 mg/day does the trick.  I am having to play the insurance game to get it approved and currently have a discount card that sells it for $63.   It works great for my son and is worth every dollar it cost."


"I've been on Safyral for about 6 months now, when my doctor first put me on this pill I really liked. It was my first time going on birth control so I was nervous about all the weight gain rumors. But it was fine, I didn't gain any weight, I actually lost weight and my breasts got bigger. My skin cleared up, it has been a great contraceptive so far, but it made me so emotional. Maybe 2 or 3 months in I just got so depressed, randomly I would just get so sad and not even know why. I cried all the time, I had a short fuse, the littlest things would just upset me and I've never been like that so I'm switching. Everyone is different though and besides the emotions it was a great birth control."


"I have recurring bouts with severe anxiety.  Six weeks ago, I was put on 30 mg's of Buspar to be taken in the morning and at night.  I got "brain zaps" (similar to Paxil withdrawal) and nausea lasting about an hour after I took the medication.  True to most other medicines for anxiety, I felt as though overall, my level of anxiety increased over the first 2 weeks although I would have periods where I was not anxious.  After 2 weeks the Dr raised my dose to 60 mg's. I found it best to take 4 times a day because I definitely feel it wear off. While this has taken my overall anxiety from a 9 to a 7, it is still not enough."


"This medicine does what it's supposed to do. A 50mg capsule usually is enough to dispel panic attacks and return me to baseline. I don't take any more because I can't deal with the drowsiness during the day and I take something else for sleeping at night. No benzodiazepine-like euphoria, just simple no-frills relief."


"I have been on Lo/Ovral for about 10 years now and have loved it but it has started giving me strange mood swings. I am 30 and feel that my hormones are changing and I need to speak to a doctor about changing my birth control. I have started noticing no sex drive, massive mood swings, lack of sleep and here recently weight gain. But like I said I have loved it up until now."


"I was on the Ortho-tri-cyclen-lo for 4 years but my insurance won't cover it anymore so my doctor switched me to Trinessa.  It's been almost a month I've been taking it and my husband and I loves it.  I was scared at first because of the bad reviews sucha s weight gain and depression.  But with me it's been good so far.  NO headaches, I've lost weight because  with Ortho I was bloated a lot.  I'm more interested in sexual activities so my husband is happy with that.  The only thing I don't really like is I'm a little bit more emotional but not moody or crabby."


"Xyzal is one of the most effective antihistamines out there, IMO.  It stops all my allergy symptoms from the first pill- I can feel my sinuses open up.  It has gotten me through horrible seasons where the grasses I'm allergic to are rampant.  The only downside for me is the major sedation.  It is supposed to be non-sedating, but a few people will have issues with this.  Curiously, I find the sedation to come on several hours after I take it, so I time that with bedtime.  At first the sedation was so bad that it felt like I was going under anesthesia!  My allergist told me she had the same issue, and had me cut the tablet in half to take the pediatric dose.  That helped a lot, but I still time it for when it makes me tired."


"Propranolol (inderal) has been a life saver for me. As I progressed in my career I had to present to groups (20 to 100 people) on a much more regular basis.

I'm a confident professional, however my adrenaline reactions when presenting would cause me to shake and have shallow breathing. I'd feel like I could barely talk and would want to run out of the room. I also felt like I was about to burst into tears.

Most unlike me.

With Inderal I'd just take 40mg 90 mins before presenting and all physical symptoms of anxiety are gone! This drug is unbelievable.

I recently presented to 500+ people at a major conference and while my mind was freaking out, I didn't have any physical symptoms of anxiety.

An absolute miracle game changer for me."


"Hi ladies! I'm checking in for my 3 months experience with Skyla. My first month consisted of very bad cramps and my period seem to last for two weeks non-stop. My second month was better in cramping (little to none) and a week of bleeding with two days in between where I did not bleed at all. My period is pretty irregular, I dont really know when it comes until the day before I get extremely emotional and start bitching at my boyfriend haha. He helps me keep count and tell me when I start acting different and he's been right so far. I would get my period the next day or few days after that. I don't feel cramping unless I am on my period but it was only got 3 days max. Taking midol was a life saver because it took the pain completely away!"


"My girlfriend was complaining about an itch so we swung by the pharmacy to pick up a test kit and some monistat. Within ten minutes of applying the medicine she was complaining about the medicine and it's only gotten worse. The itching and burning seems unbearable. She's been in the shower for 20 minutes now."


"I am Bipolar II and have been taking Lamictal 200mg for the past year with great success but I started experiencing severe depression after a manic episode. My psych prescribed Latuda about 9 months ago. In the beginning I was on 40 mg and I began to better but my psych thought if 40mg is good 60mg is better. Well that turned me into a zombie. My whole body slowed down. I became extremely claustrophobic like I was going to stop breathing. I had to take it at night with dinner because it knocked me right out. I had my psych reduce my dosage to 40mg then to 20mg. However now that I'm on 20mg I still feel some depression so I don't know if it's worth being on. I do get Latuda for $15 a month using their savings card with my insurance."


"Humira is a great suffered from birth (30 yrs) tried everything!!! Want to post pic but can't "


"Northstar generic 1 out of 10 better off taking benadryl."


"Took ella 2 days after unprotected sex ..3 days later experienced heavy bleeding and stomach pains. i wasn't even due for my period until 2 weeks later this pain feels like the same as taking the abortion pill.. Never again will I take this pill"


"It caused nothing but trouble for me. Loss of sex drive, mass increase in anxiety and sleep problems, nervousness, headaches, constantly tired, it would hurt randomly. It made PMS absolutely horrendous. I tried keeping it for as long as I could, but 3 months was my breaking point because I just kept feeling lousier. Within a week of having it removed I felt way better.
I had periods while I had it and the first period after having it removed was horrible. It was the equivalent of hemorrhaging to where I'd get light headed and jittery. The only plus was I didn't get pregnant while I had it, so it did its job. Insertion and removal didn't hurt at all except maybe a couple twinges"


"6 days into 8 weeks. So far, no side effects. Nothing worse then what I've been experiencing for the past few years without treatment. Fatigue, moody, I had no appetite=no energy. The fact that I can actually eat breakfast...is wonderful to me. My family has been concerned about my poor appetite for the past 5 years.  I actually have a more positive outlook on the future. Now that this journey has begun ITS THE BEST FEELING!"


"This medicine worked like no other. I have insomnia and this helps me sleep through the night without waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep and it keeps my mood stable throughout the day. I have less headaches and migraines because I'm getting sleep, and I don't feel too bad in the morning like other medicines that affect me. This is the only medication I take. I have anxiety, depression and insomnia and this pill takes care of all 3. Love it."


"It%u2019s okay ladies! Breath! Just like you I was also searching high and low to get a peace of mind and I promised myself I would come back and write a review to help others out. So%u2026my last period started 3-11-16 and ended on 3-14-16. I had sex the next day on 3-15-16. We used a condom but we thought it might have slipped so we freaked out. I, at the time, wasn%u2019t on any birth control so, to be on the safe side, we bought Take Action and I took it not even an hour after. I started lightly bleeding on 3-20-16 and it lasted for only two days. It started off as a brownish color and then turned red. The light bleeding was very light, like spotting light. I was still freaking out though just because I am that type of person who always says, %u201Cwhat if""


"Helped to take the edge off, but I had very vivid dreams that were bizarre in content.  Had problems sleeping and having quality of sleep."


"I tried about 4 OTC cough medicines to no avail. I have tried Hycodan in the past and this is what I recommend if you want a good medicine for a bad cough.  "


"Symbicort has COMPLETELY changed my life. I'm 23 and have been living with severe asthma my entire life. I was using my rescue inhaler 5+ times a day and unable to even climb the steps to my apartment without chest pain and wheezing. I'd tried other medications such as Advair and Singulair, but saw no change in symptoms. Finally, after being completely fed up with being so young, yet unable to go for a walk in the park, or stand within 10 feet of an animal, I talked to my doctor and was prescribed Symbicort. After two weeks, taking 4 puffs a day, it's almost like I don't have asthma anymore. Now, I take one puff every few weeks for maintenance. I can sleep through an entire night, my thinking is much more clear, and I couldn't be happier."


"I loved it for getting me away from mixed episodes in Bipolar Disorder. But it made me feel dead inside.  I'm going off the 300 XR and going onto 100 instant release because 300 was just too much for me.   Hoping I can get into a hospital if a mixed episode raises it's ugly head again"


"I've only been on Fluoxetine now for 12 days at 20mg. I have a feeling I'll be going up to 40mg soon. Nothing much yet except I have noticed I don't "blow up" as much at everyone but it's  only 12 days. You need 3-4 wks to see really. I've tried Lexapro  (sleepy all time & wt gain)& Sertraline  (went toxic in my body, liver enzymes went up, constant diarrhea, major wt loss) & lastly Cymbalta  (helped with pain but not mentally and withdrawals were horrible). So antidepressant #4. I hope this one works! I do have loose bowels a lot in morning but take 1 Loperamide everyday. That's all really except sometimes anxiety goes up. Exercise will help."


"I have tried to take this several times, with no success. My Dr Prescribed this for IBS-C. I can't take it in the morning for fear of incontinence. I took it last evening and woke up at 2am with liquid stools and severe diarhhea about every 15 minutes for about 6 hours. This medication will be going in the trash. So not worth it. I'd rather be constipated and take Dulcolax."


"Have had major life changes the last two years and been depressed and weepy most days. Doctor prescribed Cymbalta 30 mg. On day 3. My head feels foggy and am tired all the time. I keep waking up at night but fall back to sleep.  "


"I have been very happy with my Implanon so far. I have had it for about 3 1/2 months. I didn't feel any pain when it was inserted; only a slight sting when they numbed my arm. I did have a pretty big bruise for about a week, and now I have a very small scar. As far as side effects, I haven't had any noticeable side effects. My biggest complaint is that I have had longer than normal periods. My first period after Implanon was right on schedule and lasted it's normal duration. My following cycles have lasted about twice as long as they should. However, I don't have any spotting in between periods; my period is just extra long. I feel like that is a fair trade off though for not having to worry about birth control at all for 3 years."


"BuSpar is a unique anxiety medication. It doesn't have the sedating effects of benzodiazepines like Klonopin and Xanax. It has improved my anxiety and I still have energy and concentration. "


"I drank the first cup within about 25 minutes, sucking on a minute maid frozen lemonade to help with the taste (I have a weak stomach).  The taste is not really "that" bad though....has a fruity/salty taste.  About 30 minutes later my stomach began turning and I sprinted unsuccessfully to the restroom; I simply could not control my bowel movement.  I am only 50 and am in great physical condition....but I was no match for the Suprep.  I spent the next two hours visiting the bathroom frequently.  The second dosage wasn't as bad urgency wise, but I've spent a lot of time in the bathroom and now feel raw in that area from the frequent wipings.  I'm hoping all is finished before I go to bed later.  Good news is there was absolutely NO cramping."


"I've been taking this for 3 weeks and it's HORRIBLE. I recently just got diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, and I have new insurance so my doctor recommended this. The only thing it has done for me, is give me acne. It's made my skin worse. I was taking levora since I was 19, because I always had irregular periods, but it's because I had PCOS this whole time. I'm now 27, and my skin was always phenomenal when I was on levora. I Never gained weight and levora maintained everything perfectly.  Now I have pimples every day, and if one heals I'll get 2-3 more, by the time it's healed. I haven't noticed any change in my weight even though, I do workout 4 days a week and watch what I eat."


"I've had allergy related chronic bronchitis for going on a month now. Was first given Vanacof liquid for congestion and cough. While the Vanacof did help my congestion it did practically nothing for my brutal cough. Went to a great doctor who immediately prescribed Zurtipro liquid to help calm my cough at night. Feel so much better after two nights of decent rest. Where has this stuff been all my life. Highly recommend for bronchitis. "


"I started taking this med six days ago to treat neuropathy pain in my feet and lower legs. It, like gabapentin that I was taking before this, is giving me severe arthritis pain in my hands and knees, which I did not have before. I will discontinue the use today. It stopped the neuropathic pain but is crippling me in other ways. I will go back to treatments with NSAIDS and acetaminophen."


"I have nothing but GOOD things to say about this form of birth control. I've had the implant for almost 2 years now. Traditionally, and for most of my life, I've had horrendous cramping and long heavy cycles- it was the norm for me to not be able to get out of bed for at least one day a month if I didn't end up in the ER (useless). Other types of birth control have helped slightly, but Nexplanon was EASILY the absolute best decision of my life (no exaggeration). Absolutely no side effects that can't be attributed to something else, virtually NO cramps, acceptable amounts of acne (less than most of my life), and often NO periods at all for months at a time! I'm all but a walking poster child!"


"I have been on birth controls for about 3 years. I started out on the shot, worked well but I didn't like not having a period and with my emotions I spotted all the time. The patch did not work for me (hated it). I'm 5'5" and weigh about 110, my weight has always been on the lighter side (and I can't gain it no matter what). For me I like the pill, I've been on it for about a year. I do have a low sex drive, I'm always dry, I did go up one cup size. Periods are on the lighter side and sometimes I don't have one. Since I have been on the pill, I feel sick more often, stomach pains, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, leg pains, vaginal pains, back pains, but its never constant so I usually dismiss it."


"I have been using Nuvaring for about 4 months now and I absolutely love it. I do think that it changes my hormones around the first week or so I have it in but I think that's because my body is still getting used to the medicine (it's gotten a lot better than when I first started using it). It's so much easier than taking the pill and my worries of becoming pregnant have gone down tremendously since being on this. It is effective and a great medicine, I would highly recommend it!"


"I was on this for 7 weeks before stopping to try to conceive. It was wonderful in that it finally took away the pelvic pain I continued to have on other pills. I had a light period within three days of stopping it. I've had two full cycles since, and they've both been shorter than usual, with a short (8-10 days) luteal phase. I'm hoping this sorts itself out soon. Unfortunately I don't see myself taking this again, because it made my migraines much more frequent, and gave me fairly bad heart palpitations. A less troubling complaint was increased acne."


"Zoloft gives me no negative side effects, no weight gain, no "zombie" effect, the only problem is that it makes me pretty restless when trying to fall asleep, but it isn't a huge problem. It really helps me with my agoraphobia, two months ago I could barely leave the house. I also tried Paxil, Prozac, and Lexapro - all of which did not help much. Zoloft it is."


"I am 47 and I have suffered from depression as long as I can remember. I have been on so many medications for depression, I lost count. The best one for me has been Cipralex, but I would still experience major episodes several times a year. I was desperate this past January and ready to give up hope. Not give up as in harm myself but I just couldn't shake the blues for the entire month. I mentioned it to my doctor and she prescribed Lamotrigine (2x25mg) per day. I felt better immediately like the next day. Has anyone else experienced instant relief or is it just a fluke.

I wonder if I was bipolar all along but wasn't able to articulate it for a proper diagnosis. I am one month depression free."


"I have been on it for only two months now, and i absolutely LOVE it.  I have been through complete hell with my periods.  I get severe cramping and bloating for up to two weeks and have tried many different pills with NO luck.  This is the first birth control that has reduced any cramping at all, and now I barely get cramps.  Other pills made me extremely moody, but this one hasnt given me mood swings at all.  I also had problems with spotting on other birth control pills, but not on this one.  My periods are much lighter than before."


"I've literally been taking Lutera for three days now, and I HATE IT. My back hurts so unbelievable bad I can barely walk, I'm so nauseous, tired, terribly tired all the time and I already have period cramps. I'm hesitant to stay on this for a few months because I know it hasn't fully adjusted with me yet, but at the same time this back pain is not something I'm gonna be able to handle everyday. My back never used to hurt, and now I finally get what people mean when they say "my back hurts so bad I can't breath" "


"At first it seemed to make the migraines not so unbearable. The weight loss was nice too! It did make me drowsy at first. I also couldn't think straight and find the right words. I saw light trails esp at night. But I struggled through for a few years thinking I would get over the side effects. Ultimately I didn't think the benefits were worth the side effects. Everyone is different."


"No side effects besides drowsiness. It puts me at a calm to help me think clearer."


"I started contrave on 11/6/15 @ 191.2lbs as of today 1/21/15 I have lost 14.8 lbs I'm on my third bottle. Side effects went away after 1week, except for the dreams, and I only sleep 6 hours per night"


"Good for nerve damage."


"Have taken this medication for over a year.  Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) well within normal range. Slightly elevated bilirubin. Only side effects are mild to moderate hand foot syndrome, some fatigue and nosebleeds due to low platelets. It is important to note that I have never done IV chemo, so my results may be different from others."


"I've been prescribed EVERY anti-depressant known. I have resistant Depression. I stumbled across Tramadol 2 years ago and WOW, after a hour, energy, happy, feel like I can do things again after 20 years. Haven't had to increase the dosage after 2 years. This medicine has saved my life. After I take it, my wife says my eyes aren't blood shot, my mood is like it was 30 years ago, and now working full time and building a business up on the side!"


"I am from the UK. I started on 20mg a day and within 11 days my acne had completely cleared. My dosage was then upped to 40mg which caused facial eczema for 6 months (skin blistering etc) not helped by the fact I didn't change my skin care routine straight away.

Products I recommend;

Lips - Carmex lip balm (liquid) yellow and red tube and inexpensive. The solid lip balms didn't work. For bad 'lip' days I used Cortibalm, which I could only get from EBay

Face - Cetaphil gentle skin cleaser followed by Cetaphil moisturising lotion. For bad eczema patches I used Bepanthen nappy rash ointment (the only product that worked)

I now have perfect skin for the first time in 30 years."


"I have degenerative disc disease and Opana is the best pain medication that I have ever used and I have tried them all and I take 2 20mgs a day 1 every 12 hours and it usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes to take effect but it works !!!"


"It helps moderate back pain. It's not good for severe or chronic back pain."


"My skin peeled severely for about 3 weeks and I went through a lot of itching and burning. The acne cream is meant for small pimples not if you have many breakouts all over your face. The process takes a long time 3  months and your face hurts almost every day. But once those 3 months pass your face looks great."


"I had been on Lo Seasonique before and it was AMAZING and it cleared my skin and made me lose weight so needless to say I wasn't happy when the army clinic I had to go to didn't carry it. They gave me this and said it was just like my previous birth control and its NOT. I've gained almost 4lbs in the first month and its given me such painful cramps. They keep me up at night and make me want to vomit, decreased sexual desire. The only up side is I'm not pregnant."


"I had my hopes up waiting to pick this medicine up and begin taking it. It worked really great for a week, then stopped working not sure why. My Neurologist took me up to 200mg in the morning but still nothing."


"I've had a positive experience. I first got it when I was 21, now I'm 24 and got a second one Inserted recently.

The insertion hurt me a bit, but I know most can tolerate it. It's more of the idea of it going inside, Pain Rate on insertion: 4 out of 10.  I've had periods every 3-4 months. My bleeding was regular and sometimes even light. It truly does depend on the body of woman. It never bothered me, it was as if it wasn't there. I've had no weight gain or loss, no acne, nothing out of the ordinary. After reading all these reviews, I suggest getting it because it's been working so well for me, but if it discomforts you in any way, even the slightest bit go talk to your doctor asap before any bad side effects kick in. Hope for the best(:"


"I had paragard inserted in July 2016.  Iread reviews online & expected the worst.  I took 3 aleve beforehand. During the procedure I had 3 intense cramps & it was done.  I had a small amount of spotting that day, no cramping, felt fine the next day. My 1st period came with the paragard I had brown spotting a few day before it actually started, it was a little hard to tell when it actually started. Read online that many users had bloody masacres on their periods, mine was suprisingly light.   few weeks later I noticed foul fishy odor, went to my ob & had BV (never had this before).  The next month I got BV again was told it was normal. Flash forward Dec 16, I had horrible stabbing pains, had an ultrasound, was told my IUD was falling out, so they took it out & I was given plan b."


"My doctor gave me this cream for my vaginal dryness and pain and burning when I urinate. I'm 47 years old I don't have my period since this January, and started with the terrible dry vagina symptoms. I just started using the cream so far I haven't noticed the bad side effects yet and I hope I won't have it. I noticed when I urinate that the burning sensation is less. This morning when I woke up I feel my vagina less dry, but half of the day the dryness came back. I hope the more time I used the cream the symptoms of dry vagina go completely. I have avoided having sex with my husband because I'm afraid is going to hurt more. I'm very motivated reading the reviews I read before and maybe I can return to enjoy sex again."


"There is no cure for HSV2 but you can suppress it with Lysine. You have to take it everyday and it just becomes part of your daily routine, like brushing your teeth or taking a shower.

I was diagnosed with HSV2 in 2012 and had outbreaks every single month for the first year.  After that it was about every other month. It was a painful and humiliating experience for years. After introducing Lysine, along with OLE into my daily routine, I haven't had an outbreak since September 2015. If I feel like an outbreak may occur, I just up the dosage until that familiar tingling sensation goes away.

I know Lysine doesn't work for everyone, but I stand by it 100% for my HSV2 suppression."


"I have been taking Viibryd for one year. I initially was suffering from anxiety, depression and alcohol abuse as I tried to escape from the feelings of living in a toxic marriage. I divorced and still felt very anxious and afraid of my ex-husband. Klonopin gave me immediate relief from the anxiety and I rarely have to take it anymore. I stopped drinking and have no desire for it at all.  I take 40 mg of Viibryd in the morning with a high protein breakfast. It has been VERY helpful. Regular exercise is key. I was unable to exercise for a few months due to an injury and had terrible cravings for sweets and carbs that resulted in 10 lb gain. That has gone away now that I am back to healthy eating and exercise. Diarrhea still a problem."


"Have used a Fentanyl or Duregesic patch for 11 years following spinal fusion from T-2 to the Sacrum. Started on 50mcg every 72 hours. After five years, stepped down to one 25 and one 12 every 48 hours. Then two years ago stepped down to just one 25 every 72 hours. The patch works best for me if I wear it on lower abdomen area, otherwise have problems with it coming off. Maunufacturer also makes a difference. Sandoz brand is the best, but have found it hard to find. Most pharmacies use different manufacturers. Mylan brand the worst. They will not absorb into my body and I go through withdrawal. All the other manufacturers work just ok, but again not as good as Sandoz brand."


"I have been on these tablets for 3 days now, for border line personality. I've been so tired after I take the 100mg at night but my anger is still a problem, and I'm feeling a tiny bit less like I'm lonely and no one understands me and my emotions. But honestly not much of a change. I just still don't know if my life's going to get any better."


"Generalized anxiety disorder - 22 year old male.

Paxil did help with my anxiety however, it made things seem more dull. The things I used to enjoy became boring. I stopped taking it after 2 months. I'm now starting Effexor XR. No other side effects."


"I literally have tried every home remedy and allergy medicine out there. Until I tried Walgreens generic claritin-d for nasal congestion and allergies, way cheaper and you get the same results. I had nasal congestion, fever/ headaches, itchy throat, and earaches. After one dose I felt like a new person. I truly recommend this product to anyone suffering from the same symptoms I had... :-)"


"Have taken pills for 12 days without result.  Had lots of hope.....slowly fading away! $208.00 should have do better....."


"Each time I start a new pack I wind up nauseous and throwing up. I'm also getting strange mood swings around my period (never experienced before). I'm only two months in, but I'm not at all happy."


"I have been on Neurontin for fibromyalgia pain, and sciatica nerve pain for several months. I can truly say it is a miracle for me. I can hardly get out of bed in the morning, and when I do, I feel like I have been hit by a truck. When I take my Neurontin,(600mg 3 x a day) I feel so much better. I have energy to get things done, and it makes the stiffness I feel in my muscles relax more to ease the pain. I have gained a little weight on this medicine, but when the warmer weather hits, I am going to try and get outside and get some exercise. It helps with my high anxiety levels as well, and my psych doc told me that this is a wonderful medicine for anxiety and depression as well. I consider it my miracle pill."


"I am 66 and have had yeast infections in my day, but never was the cure so monumentally more painful than the condition. I put in the ampule, expecting sweet relief, and within 2 hours I was a raving lunatic with burning and itching beyond belief  in my lady parts. I decided my best option was to GET. IT. OUT., and sent poor Grandpa to the pharmacy to get a douche bag. Picture that, people. Sweet relief and never again!"


"I found that it worked better for me than anything else. After taking it for about 8 weeks, I was able to ween myself off of every other medication. This was the miracle for me."


"I've been taking it for less than a month and I already want to stop. I would rather be in pain than be how I am with this medicine. It makes me foggy and extremely tired, and depression symptoms I haven't had in months are coming back. I can barely do anything because all I feel like doing is sleeping. My fibro pain isn't horrible anymore, but this is worse. I'm going to stop now while I'm still on 20mg before weaning off becomes harder."


"I have Osteoarthritis in my fingers, thumbs and both shoulders from 40 years of factory work. I have been taking Meloxicam for 2 and a half years. Without it I don't think I could continue working. I take one 15 mg pill every morning and it gives me relief all day. I get minor pain in the evening but nothing I can't handle.

I tried going off of Meloxicam due to reading about the risks of long term use but my pain came back with a vengeance. I tried Aleve twice a day instead. It didn't work as well for the pain and it was harder on my stomach. My Rheumatologist said I had to weigh the risk factors and side effects of long term use of Meloxicam with my quality of life so I am choosing Meloxicam because it works for me and it's inexpensive."


"I have Cervical Arterial Disease and the pain radiates in my neck, shoulder, arms and hands.  Sometimes makes me have bad headaches as well, on the left side of my head.  Mobic is a life-saver for me. I had this medication for awhile, but refused to take it because reading the side effects scared me, but after over-the-counter medicatuons quit helping me with the pain, I went ahead and started it, and this is the best I've felt in months.  I haven't had any side effects yet, but I've only been on it, for about a week.  I'll continue to take it for now, because at least I'm not miserable.  Living with chronic pain is no joke."


"Works great"


"Man. It hasn't been a month & my body is all out of wack. Mood swings, lack of sex drive, extreme hunger within minutes of taking the pill, headaches, dry mouth & vagina! "


"I have been on 200mg of buproprion xl for about 2 years and I can say that it has had a great effect on my life.  First off, I quit smoking.  The urge to smoke was like, GONE!  My mood was great for about 1 1/2 yrs and I feel that this is a great medicine for most.  I did gain weight on it and my appetite has actually INCREASED, so I guess I am one of the unlucky ones.  I have noticed some withdrawal symptoms if I miss a dose, which is something else to consider.  It has stopped being effective for me and I am concerned about raising my dosage due to the withdrawal symptoms I have experienced.  I am constantly tired and lethargic and recently had a major depressive episode. "


"After upping dosage to 20 mg my vision started messing up. We lowered it and are titrating off of it now. My vision is still messed up. I can no longer see through my glasses very well. I'm seeing a specialist next week. My head throbs as wee and nausea. My vision better return or someone will be in trouble."


"I was born with Asthma had been in and out of hospitals since birth.  When I was old enough to use my own judgement on inhalers I decided to try Primatene Mist.  I have used it for over 20 years.  I only need to use it...maybe...2 times a month...if that.  NOTHING the doctors gave me ever worked.  Primatene Mist keeps me OUT of the hospital and home with my family.  "


"Mild Hemophiliac, use Advate for injuries or surgeries. It has proven effective for me for surgery including total hip replacement with no bleeding or other side effects."


"Belviq has saved my life!

I am a 72 year old female that has tried EVERY diet and fad for weight loss.  I have lost between 30-35 pounds since May and my goal is in sight!  I no longer isolate myself because I didn't want anyone to see how much weight I had gained.  I have COPD and the weight loss has helped by 30-40%!  I no longer "graze" all day and no longer hyper!"


"Sinus infections have controlled my life for about 3 years.  After trying many antibiotics, a specialist had me try this antibiotic.  I have used it 4 times and it has always worked while also taking prednisone.  Using steam as a decongestant has also been a big help.  If you have a sinus infection, I highly recommend this drug.  From reading the other reviews I am fortunate to not have any side effects.  So use with caution the first time."


"I had three surgeries in 3 weeks and oxy really kept the pain under control. I have since run out and the Dr. doesn't want to refill so I'm now suffering along with only Tylenol. :)"


"I've been on Lexapro for two days with Ativan for emergencies. I'm very pleased with Lexapro for being just a few days and already seeing a difference, plus medicine usually makes me very sick and this did not. Its nice to go to bed and not have 2 or 3 panic attacks with over thinking and palpitations. My only dislike, so far, is that it makes my teeth feel very strange and it's a little annoying. And also since it makes me tired, I take it before bed. But if I miss that window of being severely tired and don't fall asleep, then I am up for hours and hours. Still very tired, but restless. I hope to see those side effects go away after a long period of taking them."


"It's me again, only lost 2lbs more weight loss speed slow down. Will be starting 2 25mg per day, now only taking 1 so far was advised to start taking 2 after 3 days of starting but was doing fine with 1 now lets see if taking 2 25mg a day makes any difference."


"After 12 years of taking the pill and 2 children I decided on something long term and my doctor advised this would be the best option. Insertion was painful but considering the alleged results - little or no periods and not having to take the pill every day - it was worth it. Apart from a little bloating which has now calmed down after 4 weeks, there have been no negative side effects. My libido has increased and my orgasms are now so intense (they were fairly strong before the Mirena) that my partner has noticed a huge difference and had I known I would have had it inserted years ago!!."


"I've been taking Calan for over 18 years and it is truly amazing.  I was having severe, life altering migrianes at least once a week, usually twice.  The migrianes stopped instantly the week I started using this medication.  If I miss a dose, the headace will come in about two days.  Great motivation to take the medication on a timely basis.  I highly recommend this treatment for migrianes."


"Fast acting and no side effects."


"4 CAPSULES AT NIGHT worked for me after 3 months.But the cost is outrageous."


"I'm currently 21 yrs old and have had Skyla for a little over a year now. The insertion was unpleasant and painful.The cramps I experienced after were the worst cramps I have ever felt before. Please take a pain killer immediately if you feel any cramping. Every time I experience the cramping it makes me want to vomit and cry. I have never cramped this bad before having Skyla. I believe this has helped with my acne but I still breakout majorly when it's that time. When that time comes around I experience the same painful cramping but only for a couple days. Another down side is my period lasts for about 2 weeks! There are no signs of my period decreasing or stopping even after a year of insertion.Overall, I regret the Skyla."


"My original intent with Topamax was never weight loss, (mood) nor would have I ever believed the results I've obtained 19 months later. Quick negatives-my mental agility decreased significantly, I misspell my own name; most food & beverages taste like rubbish; and, the generic version is subpar. I was always overweight, I'm mid-30s, male, & slimmed from 275 to low 180s, size 42 to 32, XXL to L. It stays off! Still drop a few lbs. every month. However it's impossible for me to get off, I tried once and I went into a severe depression, but I'm a healthy weight now with perfect blood pressure."


"Have been on Daliresp for one month now, no problems and seems to help.  Can feel a difference in my shortness of breath.  So far so good."


"I had been getting the Depo shot for about a year. I decided a few weeks ago that I no longer wanted this as my method of birth control. When I first started getting the shot I had some spotting and no periods. This has slowly increased and for the past two months I have had spotting everyday. I thought I could put up with it, before I realized that my libido had been slowly decreasing as well. And for the past month or month and a half my sex drive has been virtually nonexistent. I was not able to "get in the mood". No weight gain. "


"Took 2 tablets and went to bed. Experienced some cramping at around 6am the next morning. But around 6:30am the cramping was horrible. Vomiting and diarrhea so much. After about 3 hours of on the toilet and my head in a trash can, I finally was able to sleep. I will never take this again. I have been weak, nausea, and cramping still all day. I am afraid to eat something. I did not drink water before taking this, so if you do take it hydrate yourself before, don't eat a big meal before (like I did), and do it in a day where you have zero plans."


Osteolytic Bone Lesions of Multiple Myeloma

"I started on Zometa about 3 years ago, at first it was every three months but over the past year I have it every 4 weeks. The side effects vary almost every time, sometimes it's aching bones or muscle pain and I usually feel weary to the point that I stay in bed all day, the effects usually hit me on the second day after having the infusion and only last for one day. Today is Sunday and I had the infusion on Friday so as I write this I'm feeling pretty rotten, but come tomorrow I'll be feeling much better so it doesn't worry me at all...and it's a lot better than having my bones snapping just because I've lifted something that's too heavy."


"I get immediate results. For the acne i already have it brings it to the surface and clears it away and keeps my skin clear with reoccurring use. I feel like I've tried everything but nothing worked until my dr prescribed it."


"I've been on Topamax for a month for basilar- type migraines which cause vertigo and headaches. Since being on 50mg of Topamax I've had 1 vertigo migraine attack when I had been getting them 5 days a week. This MEDICINE has made a huge difference for me. I also have noticed I have more energy and I'm just happier in general. I've lost some weight as well. I'm really happy I've found medication that works for me. I had some side effects like feeling out of it and tiredness for the first 2 weeks."


"I'm writing my experience due to the fact when I was researching skyla I couldn't find very many reviews....my experience wasn't horrible yet wasn't the best I decided to get skyla in Oct of 2014 it was newly out I decided on it rather then mirena since skyla was lower dosed and smaller I haven't had any kids initially the insertion did hurt but wouldn't say excruciating Dr wrote for a valium before hand so that helped I'm sure after insertion felt fine went to work didn't have any crazy cramps or bleeding all was good up until about 4 months in I started getting crazy cystic acne on my face and back never had acne before and started getting really bad sharp pains here and there so I waited skyla out for about 7 months then had it removed"


"I got the birth control about three years ago, I am set to have it removed this year. It has worked wonderful as far as preventing pregnancy. I have gained weight but I also work a desk job so it goes hand in hand. My periods are terrible I have endometriosis which makes it very painful to have periods. I had a few but after the first year they stopped. I have had only spotting once or twice in three years. The negatives are lower sex drive, acne on the arm by the injection site, hair growing in places it had not before ( my chin). I am 24 and this is effective, it does effect everyone differently.  I love it but it does have a lot of side effects, but I would rather live with the side effects than being pregnant or painful periods"


"*Best Things: no periods at all and SUPER effective. Very low risk of pregnancy, even without using condoms. Gained a little weight but very little compared to the pill, almost no bloating.

*Worst Things: After first six months I had horrible acne, and it was everywhere. My back, my chest, my face. So severe I needed acne medication and I'm in my mid-20's and rarely had acne before that. After two years I realized it was almost impossible to shed pounds. My sex drive was gone completely and I had a sort of numb, depression feeling most of the time.

After 3 years I had it removed, my mood and sex drive sky-rocketed almost instantly. Been off for 4 months and all acne is gone."


"I was on Humira for several years, and it worked great. Eventually though, my body started making antibodies against the Humira, and it started working with less efficacy. I then switched to Otezla. I once did a trial study of a pill version of a ps med (the only one I had ever heard of at the time), and it worked great, so I was pretty hopeful as I started Otezla.

For me, I could literally feel the Humira leaving my body. For those of you with bad ps, I started feeling those pins and needles again. I gave Otezla almost 6 months before calling my Rheum doc and asking if I could try something else and here I am. I'm not scaling a ton, but I'm constantly itchy (hard to sleep). I've tried a lot and some have worked. For me, Otezla doesn't."


"Have previously used progesterone tablets which worked fairly well however I had a break and then my gp told me to use these instead. Horrid 3 days! I could deal with the nausea and low mood as I was prepared for it, but I lost my orgasm on just 25mg and 3 tablets. Not for me!"


"My experience with nexplanon was a horrible one. At first I didn't notice much, but bleeding for almost three weeks straight. Although the bleeding was just spotting, it was there. Next, was the hair loss and man! oh! man! it was alot. It was coming out about 300 strands a day. I went to a doctor and they said wait it out. So I did. I still experience this!! Now I am breaking out with ache more than I ever have. It's all over my face and neck. I am going to make an appointment to have it removed. This was the last straw."


"I started taking Exalgo in June 2011 for chronic kidney/flank pain. I started with 8mg once/day. Increased to 12mg in March 2012. Then increased to 16mg in July 2013. I call Exalgo my miracle. I like taking the ER pill rather than popping pills all day long. I've tried so many different opiates, but I much prefer Dilaudid to all the others. I also take 4mg Dilaudid (hydromorphone) as needed for breakthrough pain.  Best of luck to anyone suffering from chronic pain, it's a terrible way to live, but Exalgo definitely increased my quality of life, I hope it can do the same for you!"


"After years of adult acne, my family doctor offered me this, to save me extra expense with a dermatologist. The results were immediate and acne is no longer something I stress about. It is very drying, so I mix it with my nighttime moisturizer and in winter, I sometimes have to skip a night, but I can't say enough good things about it!"


"Well,after trying several birth control methods, after experiencing a lot of mood changes and then got panic attacks and depression, I decided finally to put copper IUD in.
Now it is 5 months in, and still very painful periods, sometimes I cannot move. Not to mention that I cannot stand the pain with at least 3 pills of ibuprofen per day. It last more now, before I had it 3 days, now is 5, and then spotting 2-3 more, so total around 7. It is nice not to think about the protection and not to have mood changes, but I have decided if these cramps do not stop after 6 months I think I will let it be removed. I heard so many comments here and on the other sites...and everybody is different of course. I wish it worked for me from the beginning."


"I've had migraines since I was 12, they went away from the time I was 16 until recently at the age of 20. I've been hospitalized because they have been so severe this time around. Fioricet is the only thing that has any effect on my migraines, but it takes about two hours to even start to help. Even then, it'll only knock it from a ten down to a nine, or an eight if I'm really lucky. I have linked my headaches back to food allergies, which I'm discovering more and more of every week. I have to read every ingredient and prepare all meals myself, which is extremely difficult as a college student commuting. If you cannot find the source of your migraines, try eliminating malted wheat barely, MSG, sodium nitrate and chocolate."


"Having severe chronic neck pain from an accident. Ms-Contin works great to help me live my day to day life easier."


"I went 4 days without a substantial bowel movement due to a side effect of prescription. After feeling major effects of conscription I took 2 pills with a glass of water at 10pm. Around 6 hours later at 4am, I awoke to serious cramping. The cramping was the worst pain I have ever felt in my entire life and lasted for about 5 hours until around 9am. It was then that I was able to pass some solid bowel movements and then went straight to severe diarrhea. Guess it did what it was supposed to but the pain was absolutely unbearable."


"After taking fosamax for 5 years I was prescribed Prolia in June 2013, I have been hospitalised on 4 occasions with back spasms so severe it took over 2 hrs to get me in the ambulance fully medicated, I then spent 8-10 days in hospital each time waiting for the spasms to stop, after being discharged each time had to use a walker for a week because I couldn't stand longer than a few steps because of the damage the spasms had caused. No doctor has been able to give me answers until 4 days ago after spending another day in hospital because I spent 2 hrs on the floor in a shopping centre that Prolia is more than likely the reason. I also have ankles which are the size of the tops of my legs, this too has only been in the last 3yrs"


"I can truly say that so far this medication has literally saved my life. I have suffered from depression for the past two and a half years . In December of 2016 it got out of control. I hit the lowest point in my life out of nowhere. I tried my hardest to get out of the most horrible depression and anxiety that one could ever experience in life. Thoughts became obsessive and I got insomnia. I prayed, I ate better, I tried and I tried to beat this beast all by myself, but the harder I tried the more I felt that I was sinking . I decided to try antidepressants and the first I was given was lexapro. Lexapro was horrible for me, and then my Dr suggested Zoloft. I was so hesitant, but I'm glad I gave it a try. Don't give up!!"


"Hey Ladies! (Or Gents)
So I made the dumb decision to have sex with my ex-boyfriend but I at least had sense to use a condom. Only problem: the condom broke and he came inside of me. I took plan b within 30 minutes after the incident. I felt okay, but then I began to read online about all these weight constraints (if u weigh more than 176 lbs that the pill in ineffective) and I weight 186lbs. Being on the safe side I called my doctor and asked her about it. She said I would be fine and that the company says that to cover their ass. BUT then later that day when I used the bathroom, I noticed the other part of the condom with sperm fell out of me! I then took another plan b (directed by doctor) and waited. My period came 2 days before expected"


"I got 5mg samples from my doctor for depression and anxiety and took almost the whole sample bottle but had to stop. This drug affected me very oddly and I couldn’t take it anymore. In the beginning I felt like I was on speed, which I didn’t mind. It got rid of my depression and anxiety almost immediately. My confidence came back and I could get up in the morning. Towards the end, however, I had increased cravings for food, I went from not being able to sleep at all to having to sleep ALL DAY. My nipples almost got really tender and a little swollen. I knew I had to get off this medication it was horrible. Hopefully Wellbutrin will work for me."


"Looking back I realized I'd been suffering depression plus social anxiety for the best part of 3 years. This spiralled especially over the last year in severe anxiety, being unable to speak to people, crying obsessively and having no motivation or energy to even get dressed. It became choreful and frightening to live a normal day out, even talk to my family and for most part I would use alcohol and sleep to escape. I had no concentration, was emotionless and numb. I was very skeptic however accepted 50mg as a starting dose, 2 weeks later going up to 100mg. It was gradual, although I'm now in a position to say when I can finally feel relieved and extremely hopeful about the future! I enjoy going to work and can laugh again! Miracle medicine."


"Tried Lyrica and could not drive due to impact on awareness.
Tried ibuprofen which works when combined with acetaminophen in nighttime cough medicine but takes too long to relieve pain.
Tried gabapentin(Neurontin)generic 100 mg three times per day.
It works good for the pain in the feet but does not work for my back pain.
Side affects are minor, a slight impact on alertness but not much so I have no problem driving safely."


"I decided to get Nexplanon after being dissatisfied with the pill. I got it placed June 2015 and Im very happy with it. Thankfully the only side effects Ive experienced are weight gain, 13lbs which was welcomed since I was a little under-weight and light spotting every now and then, nothing too bothersome. I love that I dont have to remember a pill everyday or go in for shots or replace a patch/ring every week/month, and I love that its effective for up to 3 years."


"I went about 4 days with absolutely no bowel movement at all So I took 2 Dulcolax at around 10 am. I came on here and read the reviews and freaked out. I started chugging water so From 10 am-10pm I had consumed ten 20oz bottles of water along with light food and experienced no cramping. The pills did not start working for me until exactly 24 hours after I took the pill. My family and I were leaving for a 10 hour drive (bad idea) and right when we pulled out of the driveway (945 am) I started having some cramps. We ended up having to stop many times and I was having extremely watery, burning diarrhea. I continued to drink water which helped but had no nausea, etc. It has now been 3 days since having the diarrhea and I am constipated again."


"I have been on Savella for a month - it does take the edge off of the pain in my legs and fortunately no side affects."


"It worked just minutes after taking it, loosened up all the mucus!! Will definitely be a must have in the medicine cabinet."


"Worked well for me!
My period has pretty much always been regular and I've always kept track so I know what's going on.  Last month, the first day was the 3rd, condom broke on the 16th.  Perfect timing for ovulation!  Took Plan B about 20 hours later on the 17th.
From what I read online I was expecting all sorts of side effects but I guess I got lucky.  I had some breast tenderness for about two days, that was it.
Got my period today, the 2nd.
Considering my fertility record of 100%, (we tried to get pregnant three times at the exact same time in my cycle and did each time), I would say the pill really does work!
And a very big thank you to the makers!"


"I got Nexplanon August, it's the end of September and I absolutely love it! First the bad things: My arm bruised pretty badly when I first got it, I'm allergic to adhesive and my stitches were butterfly stitches (with the tape) and so I had a pretty bad allergic reaction on my arm. That was not due to the Nexplanon itself.
I didnt have my period the first two weeks, and then all I had was spotting. The weird thing is its pretty inconsistent, like sometimes every other day there's spotting. But I really don't mind, no cramps, no acne, no mood swings, I actually lost a little bit of weight without trying to. I just use a panty liner everyday, usually there's nothing but just in case. I'm really happy with it."


"I'm currently on Day 8 of the Rexulti trial pack (stepping up dosage) and so far so good...except that I feel that it's deadened sex drive.  However, that can be remedied I think.  The benefit is that my "painful emotions" accompanying serious depression have all but vanished.  And so far I have not experienced any akathisia, which is my most feared side effect from any of the atypical antipsychotics (such as Seroquel).  We'll see how it continues.  Yes, it is quite expensive, but I think MediCal will cover."


"I'm 15 years old and I have taken a wide variety of antidepressants. I find Lexapro to be one of the better ones. I take 10mg of Lexapro and it does alright. I have noticed a 10  Pound weight gain on about 1 1/2 months of taking this. From my experiences with antidepressants, I do not like them. This is my 4th antidepressant and I just can't find the right one."


"It’s a love hate relationship. Effectiveness I love it. I’m 26 no kids and I would say it does the job. Like any bc there are pros and cons. Pros my periods are super light, cramps are minimal, not pregnant, you don’t have to remember to take a pill, and it was $35 for 3 years. Cons I got super depressed the first 3 months of being on it, I never had acne until now and it’s embarrassing it’s cystic acne and I have acne scars and no acne meds help, I have my period on an off for 2 weeks out of the month, I snap a lot at my husband, hair loss the first 4 months on it, and now I have intense back pain to the point I can’t sit or stand. I love it but I’m really considering taking it out in 2 months."


"It works better than other medicines but I still have some days that it looks like I'm without treatment and I repeat some behaviors of the past when I was first told I was (am!) a bipolar.
But I love Lamictal. I took as far as 500 mg, but that was not much better than 200 mg per day."


"I started using Estrace two years ago after major perimenopause symptoms.  Around this time my periods stopped and I did find quite a bit of relief from vaginal and urethral pain and dryness as well as frequent urination and burning.  Have gotten along fairly well with several short flareups until recently when I have had a return of my symptoms even though I am still using the Estrace.  Any suggestions or experience with this?"


"For me Maxalt is a miracle drug. I have tried almost everything OTC, and nothing worked. Excedrin worked for awhile, then after a few weeks, it stopped working. I can always count on Maxalt to get rid of my migraines. I usually feel relief within an hour of taking it. That being said ,this drug is very expensive. Even with insurance and taking the generic version, I am still out of pocket about $50 a box, and they only give you 12 pills. Sometimes I have 3 or 4 migraines in a week, so this can get really expensive. It works wonders for me though, so unfortunately it's a necessary expense."


"Gives me a headache daily each morning. When I take it my brain feels heavy, I don't like the feeling."


"My doctor started me on Microgestin over a year ago to control my endometriosis symptoms. So far, it has helped completely with the irregular bleeding I was experiencing. I still have pain, so it hasn't 100% helped with that aspect. One side effect that almost made me stop altogether was the breast tenderness. I do notice that I get a small amount of acne at times. I have suffered with migraines for 17 years and I honestly feel that this  medicine brings them on or makes them worse. I have recorded 21 migraines in less than a year so am currently considering switching to another method of birth control."


"I have been on the estradiol patch (Vivelle) for three weeks and I feel like a new woman! Gone are the hot flashes, night sweats and brain fog. Hello energy I've missed you immensely! I also take 100 mg progesterone at bedtime. This combo is a game changer! Just wondering why I didn't pursue it sooner."


"I am a 49-year old female and have been on Lexapro for about 7 months.  I can't believe how much it has changed my life - I am so happy now!  I take 5 MG per day (1/2 a pill) - more than that at once upsets my stomach.  I had tried Paxil before and it was awful.  Lexapro has given me my life back."


"This medicine was great in taking care of seizures but I honestly felt like I was crazy most of the time. I lost weight which I was happy with but when it comes to the final review, I was a crazy, small person. I couldn't even call an order in on the phone because I couldn't think fast enough, I went back to my doctor and ask him to take me off this."


"I suffer with chronic social anxiety disorder and bouts of severe depression. I'm very sensitive to drugs and after trying many SSRI's I couldn't tolerate the side effects beyond the first week or two. A doctor recommended Escitalopram at 20mg. The drug has been amazing at reducing my anxiety and completely removing depression. Side effects in the first few weeks were rather unpleasant. I came up with a way of eliminating them by increasing the dosage gradually 2.5mg every week eventually stopping at 15mg. This gradual approach allows your brain chemistry to adjust more naturally I'd recommend it. Before I started my depression was so bad I was suicidal and had no interest in anything. Escitalopram gave me my life back almost immediately."


"Recently began suffering generalized anxiety disorder, took me to the point of suicide, prescribed diazepam. The 1st time I took it I felt aggressive and annoyed easily however after a few days I can safely say it has greatly reduced my anxiety for now however my doctor has said he will not let me stay on it due to the bodies ability to easily resist the medicine over time requiring greater doses etc.  Desperately do not want to try antidepressants again (due to a previous severe reaction). We shall see."


"Day 4 on this medication. Note I did not have any symptoms before being diagnosed but now it burns when I urinate and even after. Other than that I've had no symptoms. And on a positive note, it has cleared 80% of my acne which is awesome! Let's hope it gets rid of my infection."


"just wondering why sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.  I don't get it, does that mean there is nothing there or  what?    It worries me.    There has to be a reason ."


"Had the 3 shots in 3 weeks. No results until about 2 months later. Very pleased at that time. Six months later, ready for another round of 3 shots & the return of relief."


"Alesse-28 was the first oral contraceptive I've taken. I usually have a very heavy flow and my period would be a full week and would never come at the same time every month, but since I started to take Alesse-28, my period has become VERY regulated and my flow is light and lasts usually around 3-4 days only. The best thing I would say is that I don't get cramps anymore. Before taking the pill, I'd be pretty much bedridden. I get only a very slight pain now, but it's barely noticeable! It also helped with my acne! I had a lack of appetite when I started the pill and I lost 7lbs in one month. The worst parts were the nausea, major mood swings, slight depression (cried every night), anxiety, and the lack of motivation in everything."


"Hello everyone and warm thanks for all extremely helpful comments!
I received my second Stellar injection about one month ago, an phased out the cyclosporine one week ago. The skin is incredibly clear of spots (since 25 years it has not been this good), but as a change, an almost intolerable itching started.

a) Would anyone have experience how to calm down the itching?

Taking sodium bicarbonate with water seems to help a bit, but I am still scratching in my sleep.  I have allergies, and thought that maybe antihistamine could work.

Thanks in advance for any hints you may have!"


"My son is always taking Augmentin because of his bronchitis attacks. It has always worked within days on my son and I would recommend this for any children. "


"I am on my 5th week of taking Bydureon.  So far I have had no reactions to my injection sites.  I usually inject same time every Monday and I am good on the first day, but on the 2nd and 3rd day, i feel so nauseous that i can hardly eat.  I also find that i have diareahea alot.  I have not really lost any weight but have not gained weight either.  Best of all I went from 414 (my highest blood level) to 99 (my lowest level) so far.  So there is a major difference in my blood sugar.  I can not wait to see what my A1C reading will be when i get my blood work done in a month."


"Reading most of the reviews on here just makes me wonder why not me?  I'm a 28 Female with bipolar 1, anxiety disorder with agoraphobia, OCD (obsessive thoughts but thankfully nothing severe), and adult ADHD.
I'm far from a stranger to the world of therapy, medicines, etc., since I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder at 14.
I've been taking Pristiq for about 2 1/2 months. First noticed I felt more tired, then after a few weeks I noticed I felt more anxious than usual and little things would bother me (more) then before and I actually feel more depressed in the sense that I didn't actually feel depressed as in sad, worthless, etc. more just kinda blah. But I actually feel more sad and unmotivated now, I've also gained about 10lbs and Pristiq is the only thing different."


"I have been taking Mobic (meloxicam) for about nine months. When I stay on the drug I have little or no back pain.  If I stop for even two days the pain comes back.  But once I start again the pain is gone in one or two days.  It has helped me tremendously.  "


"Ok. I have a slight yeast infection. No big deal. Kinda uncomfortable, itchy etc. bought this product  for some relief. OH MY GOD! If I wanted more pain and irritation I would have just douched with ghost pepper juice!!! This product HAD to be made by a man. I mean, insult to injury!!  I was reading up on some of these reviews and just ran for the fridge! No yogurt, but I found one of my kids Go-gurts in there.  Fingers crossed that it kind helps. Like milk after a jalape"


"I got this implant inserted two days after I had my son in November 2015 I've had no complications what so ever!! I did bleed for about three weeks (but as I said I had just had a baby so I was going to bleed regardless) it's now February and I haven't had any bleeding since!! I would give this bc a 100/10 but that's not possible. I have been slightly more tired but I also found out that I'm slightly anemic and severely vitamin D deficiencient so just keep in mind the the women on here may be suffering from something that has nothing to do with the birth control itself. I haven't had any weight gain and I was diagnosed with migraines when I was little so I get them anyways, I've had no mood swings or cramping whatsoever!!"


"Nausea and a lot of sweating but works well. It keeps me wide awake."


"I used this medicine for the two day treatment two weeks ago and my symptoms are coming back. It worked but I think I need a few more days of it."


"Have been on 50mg of trazadone for insomnia for years -- I began with 25 mg but went up to 50 about 5 years ago.  I have had no difficulty whatever with this medication and hope others can get the relief I do.  I get dozy in about a 1/2 hour after taking it and off I go to need-never-land!"


"Although I had experienced major episodes of depression and anxiety (which went unconfirmed by psychiatrists) it wasn't until I turned 24 in May 2013 that I was diagnosed with bipolar II. I was started on Lamictal 25 mg and BAM! within two days I felt like a whole new person: very social, motivated, imaginative and bursting with life (much different from the depressed and irritable self). I am currently on 100 mg and feeling great after continuing college, earning the highest GPA I ever earned, obtaining a new personal training job and meeting a very beautiful girl...I guess that's success. For anyone with the same condition Lamictal is worth trying, as it's super effective and produces almost no side effects."


"Started using epiduo and within 6 months, my face had cleared up and i had perfect skin. Did experience a burning sensation the first few weeks i used it."


"This medicine is amazing. I was a smoker for about 13yrs I wasn't really excited about quitting didn't really want to to be honest but when I had my 32nd birthday and started having heart murmurs, trouble breathing and lots of nagging from my boyfriend (a non smoker) that I stink, I thought I better make some changes. I'm very glad I did. I started the pills on November 10th 2009 continued to smoke that week, had minor dizziness and nausea that first week and cut down a lot on cigarettes. I was 1/2 a pack a day to about 1/2 a cigarette twice a day on the eighth day. Nov 17th 2009 I was completely done, the smell makes me nauseous to this day and currently I am on the 7th day of being smoke free and loving it. Overall since taking the medication I have had minor nausea which lasts like 5 min, cravings off and on but only for like 10 min or so and they go away I haven't had any scary dreams just vivid ones mostly enjoyable ones it seems for me as the days go by with the help of what I refer to as the "miracle drug" the days are getting easier and easier. My blood pressure has gone down a lot, my taste and smell has improved as well my best wishes go out to everyone who along with myself who is on this difficult journey or thinking of quitting continue to be strong and be smoke free for good."


"Get a poker lay it in hot coals and insert!! it will feel about the same as this product!! No relief& it felt better before the torture!!"


"Worse drug ever.  Terrible groggy feeling next day. I usually take ambien 10 mg however since manufacturers have changed 2 North Star desperately I was seeking something else unfortunately this is definitely not the answer the next day you will feel like you've been run over by a train, depressed and unable to accomplish anything!!! Terrible stuff,  warning do not resort to this garbage. ..it is just horrible.  These are going straight in the trash, I'm going back to ambien tonite,  at least w northstar , when u finally do go to sleep,  you wake up refreshed!!!!!"


"I lost a family member, was on last semester of college, working part-time and the mild depression I had became a severe problem. I had dark thoughts and did not wanted to associate with anyone. Quit my job and had to apply for public assistance when my depression became a serious problem. I am now taking Wellbutrin XL 150 mg a day since May 11 and at first I had dry mouth but it only lasted a month. I have not lost weight and my appetite is good. I am feeling much better but I think that one pill is not enough. Psychotherapy is also another help that goes hand by hand. Also I stop smoking a month ago. I also had to improve my life style doing exercise a few times a week, meditation, aromatherapy and eating habits."


"Omg, where to begin. Doc had me switch from Yasmin (on for over 15yrs) to Jolivette. I have been on it for 3 years (?). My symptoms have been: weight gain, inability to lose weight (very slow loss) despite 6 day workouts and calorie (low carb) control, hot flashes, night sweats, neck pain, headaches, low energy, terrible depression, insane hostile angry mood swings and constant irritability. I went to the doctor as I thought I might be in early menopause. A battery of tests and blood work came up empty. She dismissed that Jolivette was the cause. Finally, googled it and found countless forums of women in the same boat as me. It's been 3 weeks since I stopped the pill and most notably my moods has been so even no irritability at all!"


"It works great! after only 3 days I am beginning to feel the effects.  Unlike what is said for side effects, my sex drive is way back up where it should be (17 year old guy here), probably because the decrease in anxiety.  I feel a little loopy from it, and maybe a little more anxious feeling while I'm adjusting, but the constant OCD worry and panic from anxiety is gone, and I feel like I can function way better and I feel kinda normal in public places like stores again. 9/10 only because of one nasty side effect:  INSOMNIA I love staying up but once in a while I need my deep sleep."


"Our 8 year old son started Intuniv the other day having been recently diagnosed with ADHD. His behavior during the day was definitely much less impulsive than ever, and he napped at 5pm (1mg administration at 9am). He awoke complaining of an upset tummy but ate dinner anyway. 2am & 5am vomiting. Poor kid. He doesn't know it's because of his new 'Vitamin'. Does the vomiting  go away? Is there a way to preempt the nausea? We gave him plenty of water and healthy snacks when he was hungry...not up for doing this to him if this pattern sustains."


"I have been taking this birth control for a few years now and have never had any issues with it other than my body getting used to it during the first month. I have mild cramps on my period, and my period usually only lasts about 2-3 days.. and it is also very light. I don't use tampons or pads on my period, only a panty liner is necessary. I gained no weight, had no mood swings, or any other side effects birth control normally gives. This has been the only birth control I've ever taken, and I will continue to take it. My only issue with it is that I pay about 23 dollars a month for it (after insurance covers part of it), and I'd like it to be cheaper as many of my friends have."


"TWO WEEK UPDATE:I have lost weight and feel like myself again but I had to take the fourth day after insertion off work because I had a meltdown and the worst of pain from it. Next day and after it hasn't come back! However, my sex drive is completely gone. It's nice to know I won't get pregnant, but it's like I have absolutely no interest in even kissing. No bleeding tho! 22, no kids, small and etropian cervix. Will update after a couple more weeks..."


"I'm rating an 8 based on the insert. I took 800mg of ibuprofen an hour prior to insertion. It was painful- 5 on a 1-10 pain scale. This lasted for less than 30 seconds. After, it was an odd feeling-but nothing more than feeling like you have to poop. I was light headed for 3 minutes after. I ate crackers and drank water while sitting. I'd advise eating before. I went in hungry and feel that is what made me light headed. I drove after and went to the market. The first hour after- I had the "poop" feeling, just awkward. It's been 3 hours now and I feel totally normal. For now, I'd highly recommend. Different for everyone though- so take meds and don't make plans for the night. Relax! Will update soon."

"I was given this prep since my first try was rescheduled due to an adverse reaction to Golytely colon prep. At first, I wasn't sure it was working. I was told by my GI to start at 2pm with the first packet in 5oz of liquid and the second packet at 7pm. I heard bowel sounds at 8pm, but nothing moving. I did have to use an enema per Dr orders however, I did have the prep start working within a few minutes after and as I write this... well let's just say it's 11:30pm and I am still awake using the restroom. No cramping, no nausea, no headaches. It is very gentle. I am a 39 year old female and have a history of colitis with severe constipation."


"As a birth control it worked fine however it caused me to break out in a itchy rash around my mouth and chin. The rash got bigger over a two month period while I was taking the pill, make up couldn't even disguise it and it was sometimes itchy... using ointment but nothing worked. Stopped taking the pill a little less than 2 wks ago while I continued using my ointments. The rash is 95% better already.  As for all my other acne the pill did clear it up could just be an individual case I do have sensitive skin and some discoloration."


"I've been on Contrave for just over one month. No notable side effects, other than I'm now a very cheap date. The biggest thing I think it's done for me is make food less shiny. It's not a goal now, where I would be eating breakfast while planning lunch before. I don't have trouble pushing away food on my plate, or not going back for seconds. I'm offering to split things I want without feeling disappointed or cheated.

Make sure to check out the manufacturers website, they offer free wireless scales and weight loss advice through the Scale Down program. Nice perk while you're on it."


"I have been taking Forteo for ten months and I just had a bone density test. My bd improved an average of 7 percent overall. I am very pleased, since I had a bad fall 3 months after starting and had no fractures. That is a great accomplishment since last year I had 3 spontaneous fractures. I fractured my tibia while sleeping! But the negative part of treatment (aside from injecting yourself every day for 2 years), was the severe side effects. I was very, very motivated or else I would not have persevered. For the first 6 weeks I had simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea every night. I still experience nausea and general feelings of being unwell for 4-5 hours after each dose."

"I'm not sure why so many people like this drug for insomnia. First night took 50mg & slept for 5 hours. Second night took 100mg & slept for 6 hours. Third night took 150mg & slept for 7 hours. So I thought everything was cool at 150mg, but after 1 week it started to become less effective & was only getting 4 hours of sleep on 150mg. I would even try to split the dose (take 50mg an hour before bedtime & 100mg at bedtime) but nothing gave. I think Zyprexa works better, but got on this because zyprexa makes you gain weight on ANY dose, while seroquel's weight gain is more dose related (supposedly). Stopped taking it since it sucks at KEEPING me asleep (though it is good at putting me to sleep)."


"I was prescribed Nora BE back in March of this year. Prior to taking this I never had an irregular monthly cycle. Every month before I knew my cycle like clockwork. I started taking Nora because I was recently married and my husband and I were not ready for a child of our own just yet. Within the first few months I hated it. I experienced acne, mood swings and my cycle would come on at weird times and stay on for 7-10 days as opposed to my usual 3 - 5 days. I told my doctor I didn't like it and she suggested I stick with it because it takes at least 3 months for my body to adjust. My cycle came on and I have bled everyday for 1 solid month. I trashed the pills and pray my body can eventually rid the horomone. rids birth by preventing sex."


"I used it over a year ago. All I really have to say is that it changed my life, truthfully. I'm 25 years also and I had gotten bad cyst on my jawline and almost everywhere really. Nothing worked, so finally I tried it. All the crap you hear about dry skin and lips, doesn't come close to how good you feel while your skin gets better. I only did a 6 month trial and it's been over a year since I stopped and I haven't had one cyst, pimple or anything since. Same goes for my back, I had very mild acne there and that has stopped as well. So if anybody is worried to take it, don't be. It really works, and it's so worth it."


"6 months at 2.5 mg a day. A little dizzy at first now take before bedtime. Pressure was 160-110 now around 130-80. Random dry cough lasts about 10 minutes and goes away quicker if I don't cough real hard. Also very detailed vivid dreams but not bad or nightmares. 52 years old exercise 3 times a week and 20 lbs overweight for 6 Ft. Don't like pills but feel much better. No more pounding heart at rest, but need a 1/2 hour nap after 8 HR work. Nap could be age related though! I'll stick with this for awhile."


"This medicine improved the quality of my life. I have interstitial cystitis. I have to use this twice a day for 20 years. It's hard when I change doctors to get it prescribed but I always get it. I would not live with the pain of this disease if it was not for this medicine."


"This medicine seems to be doing well.  I am taking it to bring my blood count up. Instead of a blood transfusion."


"So I went to my 6 week check up after having my son Doctor prescribed this because I was breast feeding long story short the first day I took it the next day I was bleeding so that following Monday the 15th I stopped taking it I'm 7 days in bleeding and I've never had an period longer than 5 days and while breast feeding my last son I didn't get a period until about 3 months . This is my first time trying birth control but I will continue to use the condom and pull out methods because I actually do want to have sex !!!!"


"I suffered from rosacea for years, but as I went through menopause it seemed to decrease in frequency.  However, when it did pop up it was more intense, so the last time I had an outbreak I finally broke down and asked my new doctor for something and he gave me MetroGel.  I was a bit dismayed to read the label that it could take 3-6 weeks to be effective, but like several others here I literally saw results after the first application.  I applied it at bedtime and was quite surprised the first night to find my face noticeably less inflamed the next morning, and smoother.  I have used it several nights in a row now and my face seems to be healing from this latest outbreak much more quickly than I could ever have expected."


"I was prescribed Vicoprofen after I had some wisdom teeth surgically removed.  I have to admit, it worked great.  I was in some serious pain, and could tell EXACTLY the minute it started to wear off.  But soon as I took another, the pain was gone within minutes.

I can see where it would be habit-forming, as it does give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.  Kind of euphoric, I guess.  Just be careful and only allow yourself to take it when you really need it.

My only complaint is... yes... it does leave you a little constipated for a day or so after you've used it.  Get yourself some Dulcolax or something if you're going to be on it for any prolonged period of time."


"I had this inserted February 2013 after my Implanon was due for removal (I didn't have a period with Implanon for 3 years and was really pleased). The insertion was fine but within about 2-3 weeks I had my period for at least a month. It's now Sept 2015 and I have my period for literally 3 weeks of the month every month, this can reach to 4 weeks now and again. If I have a 4 week period I won't have another one for sometimes 1 week or 4 weeks and it's the same on and on. This month has been dreadful, I have been depressed, stressed, crying, bleeding for 3 weeks now and I feel dizzy nearly every day. My period was ending and started again as it was ending. It's absolute torture. So I'm getting it out on Tuesday, can't handle it anymore!"


"This has saved my life. I wasn't able to go to work or out because of intense panic attacks. I was hopeless. The medicine started working for me in a few days. The beginning side affects were bad though. Prepare to take it easy the first few days. I haven't had a panic attack in along time now ( compared to at least one a day). I am able to do things daily now without anxiety. I have nothing bad to say about this pill. I want to thank the creators of this medicine because it has improved my life tremendously!!"


"So I dedicided to use the Monistat 3 pre filled so the first night was ok the second night that's when the itching started it was worse then having a yeast infection I found myself pacing back and fourth even started crying debating if I should go to the ER so I purchased some feminine wipes an cleaned it up and itching stopped tonight was night 3 I was skeptical but decided that I should finish the medicine not even a hour afte inserting the medicine it was itching terribly bad I couldn't take it i got back in the shower and washed the medicine for the pain and suffering I endured I was better off just keeping the yeast infection because the Monistat 3 was Terrible never will I EVER buy that again."


"My toddler, who had been deemed "Failure to Thrive" for 2 1/2 yrs used this with success to gain weight. Negatively, I noticed he became quite more hyperactive than usual. This medicine will generally make children too sleepy, which is the main reason why they stop it, but in a normally hyperactive child it appears to do the opposite."


"I started taking this medication primarily for birth control and acne treatment. My experience while on this medication has been fair. It has done a good job preventing pregnancy so far. It didn't really do anything to improve my acne and I still get the hormonal acne along the jaw line. I also feel extra tired, brain fogged, and very moody at times. I also felt more anxious depressed after beginning it and even had to start taking anti depressants because of it. The only reason I'm still taking it is because the side effects are somewhat manageable and it has prevented pregnancy so far."


"Hello, I'm a 38 year old female that had a seizure for the first time 3 weeks ago.  I ended up in the hospital for 10 days. EEG did not show anything.  I noticed that when I would think about my ill father, and upcoming responsibilities that I'm going to have to deal with, my foot starts cramping up, then leads up my leg until it makes my whole body do weird movements, and my hands and feet feel like they are spiraling and crushing in my skin (hallucinating feeling).  I breath deep, fast, panicky.   sometimes I pass out at the end and become incoherent,  and sometimes the cramping just releases in an instant and I remember everything.   Ativan is the only thing that prevents this from happening."


"I began taking this in March of 2015.  I am currently down almost 100 pounds today on 8/11/16.  This medication has helped a lot with my anxiety issues and my food addiction and eating for comfort . She paired it with phentermine and the weight began to really drop.  I find that I am losing around 2-4 pounds a week or so.  There are times that I plateau for a week or two...but then I go get a massage and bam, it starts falling off again.  I still have a lot more weight to lose so I am hoping my doctor let's me continue with this process until I hit final goal weight."


"Hi I'm 21 years old and got this arm implant fitted about 3 weeks ago I've not had any serious side effects only mild bloating nausea and minor headache I was meant to get my monthly period on the 25th of May how ever now its the 3rd of June I've still not had a period yet. I'm about 9 days late. This product is good for regular periods just hope my body behaves its self because I'm away on holiday soon for 2 weeks. Every body is different people react differently to these arm iMplants but I've had no issues as of yet."


"17. My mood before ranged from sad to completely neutral about everything. I was unmotivated, irritable, had chronic migraines, was constantly exhausted but unable to sleep without meds and felt like I had a huge weight on my shoulders. Now I've been taking Lexapro/ Cipralex for 1 week. I didn't get dry mouth thankfully. I feel lighter, wake up very alert, and less irritable. I had a bit of nausea and some pupil dilation the first couple nights and I feel a bit antsy overall. I found that with Seroquel for sleep, I would fall asleep within half an hour. Combined with Lexapro/Cipralex I can fall asleep within 15 minutes. I take it around 11pm and then I take the Seroquel whenever I want to go to sleep. So far it's been pretty good."


"I took this birth control for a little over a year. At first, I experienced every listed side effect but after about 2 weeks or so, everything went back to normal. I had never had regular periods until apri but the entire time I took them i was regular with no complications or increased pain. I gained at least 8 lbs and my acne increased a bit. At the end of a year I started getting really weird back and side pains for about 3 weeks. I complained but didn't know what to do. Soon the pain became worse and it was painful to walk. I went to the er once but was sent home. Within a day, my left leg started to swell and the day after that I couldn't stand straight much less walk so I went to the er. Turns out, I had a DVT in my left leg and PE's"


"Need Something over the counter now...This stuff works. Use as directed every 4 hours and promise you your nausea and vomiting will disappear.. I still think Zofran (Prescription ONLY) is the best stuff but this is a close second for over the counter."


"It took me a year to realize that this product was causing my ITCHY PALMS.  I had hives on my palms that would flare up when I ate soy, and sometimes after touching things at the gym. After starting the nuva ring, I became very sensitive to soy allergens.  I kept trying to eliminate every trace drop of soy in my diet, but it seemed like I was more sensitive to soy everyday.  Then one month, I put in a  new ring and suddenly my palms itched like a hundred fire ant bites, and I realized I was not just allergic to soy.  I was actually ALLERGIC TO THE NUVA RING!!!!!  My soy allergy persists after quitting the Nuva Ring, but no more itchy palms."


"After I had my son Jan 2013, I needed birth control, i could never remember to take the pill, the patch always falls off, i hate needles, so on. So my mid wife suggested this. In March 2013 i had it put it. I was moody for the first month of having this put in & i never get moody while I'm in pms. It cause unbelievable headaches & cramps! It made my periods 30 days long. I would have 1 month on period & 1 month off. Which i believe is the reason it kept more kids from coming with me. No time for sex when you bleed for a month straight. I finally said enough is enough after calling and calling my doctor & her saying "it will even out, its normal". 2 years later i had it removed! I couldnt be more happy with that choice. Less headaches."


"At first, I was a little bit afraid to try Paxil after reading some reviews but I thought to myself anything has to be better than the daily stress and anxiety that I was dealing with.  I've been on it for a month and I can absolutely say it's been a life changing experience! I no longer have daily panic attacks and I can go out in public without a care! Before Paxil, I struggled in public situations. I would often feel anxiety and if everyone was staring and judging me. But now I don't even think about it. I just go on with my business and enjoy my days! If you're struggling with daily panic attacks and anxiety like I was, I highly recommend at least giving it a try!"


"I have only 1 lobe of thyroid after having a weird mass.  For 2yrs the thyroid seemed to do ok.  Then bamm I became underactive.  I flat out told my Dr NO synthetics.  I wanted to try Amour.  I have been taking NP Thyroid for almost 3 weeks.  I do feel somewhat better but have noticed an extreme swing in my mood for a hour or so after taking it.  Also I feel like I wanna eat like there is no tomorrow"


"I was suffering from stress incontinence while jogging, and my doctor suggested that I try Estring.  After a couple of months, I no longer have this problem, which is a real relief."


"Awesome! Been on for 6 months now. Currently VL undetectable CD4 in normal ranges.  At diagnosis VL 100,000 CD4 400 and 21%.  First 2 weeks were tough for me, fatigue, nausea, out of body feelings, diarrhea.   Slowly all side effect resolved after about 8 weeks.  Now no side effects at all, all lab results normal. Kidney, Liver, Blood.  Life is truly back to normal except 1 extra pill with my  Vitamin each morning.  Don't delay start treatment as soon as you can!"


"Works quickly to relieve pain. Rarely need full dosage to completely relieve pain. Have tried shots, indomethacin, Celebrex, Etodolac(severe reaction). This works best, have used for over 10 years now. Use only upon attack."


"I have used a generic version of Soma as needed for muscle pain as I have fibromyalgia for 12 years now. Tried 5 different muscle relaxers before I found Soma. It is definitely the best with fewest side effects. Yesterday my insurance company informed me they will no longer pay for it. I will buy it myself. It is worth it. "


"What a nightmare Chantix has been  for me. I don't think I have enough space to tell the whole story so I'll just condense it.  Eight years ago I believe I started to take it and took it for less than a week, it would show up in Dr. reports but I'd say maybe four days.  I lost my ability to sleep although sometimes it would feel like I was but I was dreaming awake I knew everything that was going on. I quit taking it and went back to my doctor and told him what was going on.  We tried multiple medications to help me sleep. Finally trazodone worked.  I've been taking it ever since and just recently thought that I'd try going  off of it. It's been a nightmare it's the whole not sleeping pattern again living my  dreams while awake in bed. I guess they cut me off I can't write anymore."


"I went on trinesa to regulate my periods and help with acne I would get around my period. My dermatologist prescribed it to me so I never thought it would make my skin worse but it did. I got severe cystic acne all around my checks, jawline and neck. I did it for three months. When my acne got really bad in month two I saw a dermatologist and she said to stay on it for three months and if my breakouts were still bad then to get off it. So now I’ve been off it for about a week and my acne is the worst it has ever been. My skin was completely clear during the summer and now it is so severe I never want to leave my apartment. My dermatologist now thinks I’ll need to go on accutane to fix what trinessa did to my skin. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND"


"I am 35 years old and I have 6 kids, my doctor prescribed Pristiq to help with anxiety of day to day life. I have been on it for about 5 days now, for the first time in years I am finally sleeping through the night. But I am having some side effects, such as tiredness and increase in appetite. Hopefully this will subside with time."


"I am completely satisfied with Tri-Sprintec. I read many reviews that scared me but I tried anyway. I haven't experienced any side effects other than sore breasts. My advice to anyone looking for information on this birth control is to try it for yourself to see how your body responds. Very happy."


"I am only on day 3, I have to say I like it. I do not hear or see voices or people. I have a wild thought process that can imagine anything and make it real in my own mind. That is under control almost completely, which is AMAZING! Living in my head without this medicine was a nightmare. 60mg before bed did not work for me. I couldn't sleep. So, I now take it in the morning. I also have A.D.D. (no medication for A.D.D. though). Just the Geodon and Topamax. - It works perfect for me - Weight Gain was a BIG problem on the other Medicine they tried, so far I think I have lost, I know I have not gained, which is very important to me. I had gained 14 pounds in 3 weeks on the other medication (that's a lot of weight really fast). No jaw issues or shaking."


"I had incredibly bad acne. I would get picked on for having such bad skin, my skin would make me cry it was so horrible. Nothing worked for me, everything I took to control my acne just made it worse. Then I tried duac and nothing cleared my skin faster than this. This product has made my skin go from nothing but spots to completely flawless. I would recommend this to everyone with acne or blemishes."


"I have been using Benlysta since April and it is doing wonders for me. Some mornings I tried but couldn't get out of bed but not any more. I sleep well and have energy. My only problem is the weight gain. I started with every two weeks for 2 months and then once a  month. When I just started the medication I used to feel a funny feeling in my mouth, not anymore."


"Background on my skin type: Asian with oily skin. Prior to Tri-Sprintec, I had large pores and I would get cystic acne every time I broke out. I noticed a great improvement in my over all skin and complexion on this pill, I also never broke out other than around my period. I am currently on Microgestin (I stopped taking the pill for a couple of years and my new doctor prescribed me this birth control instead) and it’s causing really bad cystic acne all over my cheeks and chin. I definitely recommend Tri Sprintec over Microgestin."


"This medicine saved my life after my mother died and shortly after my daughters father was killed. It helped me relax and I was a lot easier to take it day by day. A great alternative to alcohol."


"I have been on Tri-Sprintec for about a month now, and really like it! When I started, I did notice that I was a bit over-emotional, but my life in general was pretty stressful then so I'm not sure it was the medicine. I have not experienced any negative side-effects yet, but I haven't really noticed that it has cleared up my acne any. Periods are light and almost painless and I'm definitely not pregnant, so it works for me!"
