"I've been on Bydureon for 9 months now, my A1c's came down from 12 to 6.5, my sugar is always around 90-100 and never drops, I feel fantastic. I've dropped 60 lbs and eat when I want and never finish a meal, I ride my bike 20 miles no issues."


"Just finished zpack for a upper respiratory tract infection. I've gotten progressively worse through the 5 day course. On day 4 I had a temp of 103 and severe headache. I had a temp of 99 when I began the pack."


"I've just completed my first week I've experienced so far anxiety, sudden fleeting waves of nausea, appetite increase ,acne , mood swings, worsening depression I hope it gets better"


"Started two days ago on 3.75 trial version so far does not curb appetite and no side effevts"


"I have been on this shot for 5 years, almost 6 now. I had had no serious problems. I gained about 40 pounds and I am having trouble losing it, but that is it. When I first got on this I actually lost weight & was the smallest I'd ever been, but I decided to try to switch to the pill (hated it) & then got back on Depo, which is when the weight gain happened. I had major mood swings but am now on another medication to help control that. It definitely works and love not having a period! Just hate the weight gain. This is definitely a birth control I would recommend."


"awesome.  no pain.  speechless."


"I had Nexplanon inserted 6 weeks after giving birth to my daughter. I was 148lbs at the time still losing weight from my pregnancy. I reached an all time high of 175lbs on Nexplanon. Extreme bloating. I even wondered myself if I was pregnant I had severe mood swings, increased anxiety (it honestly became uncontrolable), always hungry and I over ate daily. I felt so tired I didn't enjoy doing anything like I use to. I got to the point where I didn't even feel like myself. I bled all the time 3weeks on 1 week off and even 6weeks at a time. I had it for a year before deciding to have it removed now it's been a week since I had it removed please research before choosing this b/c option it does prevent pregnancy at a price!"


"I got it in October of 2012. I am getting it out in about two weeks. Being on this birth control was the best for me. It stopped my period until last week. I am so getting it again and I don't have cramps or any bloating when I get my period also not heavy."


"Latuda basically saved my life. I was suicidal and swung between severe depression and wild mania. I've been on 80 mgs for about 3 months now and the only side effects I've had were sleepiness ( which is good because I had raging insomnia) and some anxiety. Dr gave me a script for low does Xanax and Ive never felt better!"


"One month today went to Dr for refill. Down 16 pounds!! I do waitress so that helps constantly walking at work. Adipex just keeps me from constantly thinking about food. First couple days restless can't sleep...learn to take it first thing in the morning so by bed time its ok."


"I have only been on for a month and I have mood swings, breast tenderness, horrible cramps, food cravings, no period, and I'm always tired like winded tired"


"I started Adipex June 17th and its now July 1st. My starting weigh in was 268 and 2 weeks later I weigh 240. I take half a pill when I wake up then another half around 2pm. It has suppressed my appetite so much it's crazy. I never realized how much I was eating before. It is important to exercise regularly. I have noticed with this pill that just looking at carbs makes me nauseous. I love lasagna and my mother made some but I just couldn't eat it. Also I have been drinking a ton of water because the dry mouth side effect has hit me hard. Overall yes I am excited with my weight loss. I just hope it keeps up at this rate. 100 lbs to go!"


"I was advised by a pharmacist to use this when I burnt my finger on the stove. It was a mild burn not requiring medical attention but it was bothersome.  This needs to be in your first aid kit."


"I can't stand this medicine made me completely sick to my stomach the whole day after taking it could not leave the toilet throwing up constantly so bad to where I was taken to the hospital never again in my life will I take it again"


"I had UTi for 13 days and I was too much woried about it. it was a very painful expirience when urinate. so I searched out and choose the cipro. I had taken 2 pills 250 Mg in 24 hours. Believe me I had no notice any side effect of this medicine axcept a  minor headch and I feel 70% beter then before.It works for me and I hope I will recover 100% with time. scary reviews was scaring me but its different for me Thank God."


"I was prescribed Cyclobenzaprine on two occasions, once for a muscle spasm in my neck that was causing nerve irritation in my medial nerve.  Recently it was prescribed for a muscle spasm in my cervical spine muscles and shoulder muscles. It had minimal effect.  Skelaxin/Metaxalone works better but barely."


"Up until a recent diagnosis of emphysema, I used Atrovent only if I got a pain in my lungs because of COPD.  After a couple of days, pain was gone and I felt good.  Now I am using Atrovent 4 times per day, and it continues to be a great medication that I can count on to work."


"I have been on Mirtazapine for more than a year. I am on 45mg dose, I take this at night time. At first I noticed it was helping with my sleep, as its also a sedative, it was also lifting my depression. However more than a year on & I don't feel any benefit from this drug, it doesn't make me sleepy like it did to begin with, and my depression has significantly declined too. I'm only 24 & I've tried so many drugs, I just feel like after a while the drugs don't work, or at least thats how I feel."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

"The PanlorSS work very well. Best medicine for cervical herniated disc (C5,C6,C7) that I have had yet. "


"I get Kidney Stones on a near daily basis trying to pass. I've been in the hospital a total of 35 times in the last year. Each for Kidney Stone pain. After my third visit the doc gave me Flomax and it passed 5 stones all 3-5mm in size within 30 minutes of me taking it. Since then no other Doctor would give it to me because "I didn't need it". Well finally yesterday my doc agreed with me and wrote the prescription I passes a 8mm stone 30 mins after taking the Flomax. I HIGHLY recommended this to anyone who is suffering from a kidney stone. It reduces the pain and makes the passing a WHOLE lot easier."


"I started on Victoza 0.6 for the first two weeks experiencing some nausea and diarrhea about every 4th day. Week three upped the dose to 1.2, for the next two weeks, again experiencing the same issues but not quite as bothersome.
My appetite is definitely diminished, and at times I will feel queasy before eating. I have lost 7 pounds in the four weeks. My energy level is good, I continue to workout 6 days a week and my blood sugar readings have dropped significantly. Going into week five (started on 1.8 this am) my morning readings are averaging 127 and that's down significantly from my average of 163 before starting this medication."


"I needed to drop about 30lbs and have high blood pressure.  My doctor prescribed Belviq.  After 4 weeks I had to stop.  I developed daily headaches, the scale didn't move and without insurance covering it, it was too expensive. "


"Awesome. I have terrible insomnia. This helps me get a decent nights rest as I care for a disabled parent=bedbownd and wheelchair. I get a good nights sleep and both of our days are more productive."


"This does not really work. With a throat attack it provides some relief. Even after I have taken the drug with one attack I will still get another attack within an hour of taking the drug. It doesn't stop or reduce swelling in any part of my body especially my face. If I take the shot for one eye it will continue to swell and the other eye begins to swell and that's after a second shot. I'm not sure how well it works for other but for me it is useless."


"Overall good, no side effects, only some little red dots on the skin, doctor says thats normal"


"I was prescribed this drug to help me sleep. I am on EMSAM for an antidepressant and it keeps me awake at night. I found that Trazodone works well for sleep, but aching muscles and bones has made the drug just not worth it for me."


"I started taking Nuvigil after having taken Adderall Xr for 4 years. I like Nuvigil better because there is no feeling of artificial energy. The only thing that that Adderall has over Nuvigil is that it lasted all day. I've experimented a little and I've found that if I take 1/2 of the pill about 1 to 1 1/2 an hour before I get my day starts and the other half at about 1 gets me through the day better than taking it all at once. Also even with my insurance and the savings card I still have to pay $89. It's worth it though."


"I am a 22 year old male and my doctor prescribed Sertraline (Zoloft) to me about a month and a half ago in order to help me with my depression. I noticed a great ease in social anxiety, general nervousness, and feelings of hopelessness all subsided. The side effects, however, were major: I woke up every morning feeling dizzy and exhausted, no matter how much sleep I got, and this feeling lasted throughout the day. A lot of yawning. Coupled with this is a general feeling of dis-interest. I am no longer depressed, but somewhat catatonic, often passing up social opportunities."


"I have been on nexplanon since 2-20-17 and have had a non stop period since two weeks after it was inserted"


"Love it. I have degenerative facets in 3rd, 4th and 5th lumbar and after taking Percocet they finally put me on Nucynta.  Within a week I felt like a new person. I could walk and bend again. I have been on this medicine for almost a year now and I am a new person."


"I started taking Belviq 2 and a half weeks ago, and I have already lost 17 pounds! I know that sounds like an unhealthy amount in such a short time, but I am sure to eat between 1200-1400 calories a day -I have just eliminated all processed foods and try to eat as much protein as possible. I have always enjoyed lifting weights and going to the gym, so I continue to do that 5 days a week. Now, my appetite is under control with Belviq so I don't eat back all the calories I burned with exercise.

As far as side effects, I did have a headache for the first two days. It makes my body feel tired, but not like a sleepy tired. I'm hoping that goes away soon, but it's not debilitating to the point I can't accomplish daily tasks."


"I was on 40 mg of Dexedrine and 40 mg of Ritalin a day and still had to quit work as I was falling asleep. Stopped both medicines the day I left work. Started on Xyrem and now am back at work full time at age 69. A miracle."


"Been on Bydureon for 11 weeks during well on it have lost 13 lbs since I been on it."


"The taste is bad but it works!!! If you get the technique right it shouldn't go down the back of the throat, google how to do this. When I take it I have some mints standing by just in case, this helps mask the terrible taste. I have suffered from sinusitis/allergies for years, which completely block my nose. After about 4 days of using this twice a day this started working. Now my nose is completely clear and I take one pump in each nostril every day as a preventative. It is expensive, but it's the only long-term spray I've found. In Aus I pay about $55 for it."


"The headaches were bad. I've been off this medicine for months and can still vividly imagine the awful taste it leaves in your mouth. Like a gagging thirst. The headaches alone make it unbearable but the truly worst part is irritability. "


"This medicine through me into fits of rage. Scary times for my loved ones."


"I have had migraines since my 20's and took zomig last night for the first time only to wake up like I had RA. My joints to both hands were in so much pain I could hardly get dress or hold a purse. Additionally, my hips were in pain. I do not reccommend this drug to anyone. I know migraines can be debilitating but taking zomig to maybe cause RA or any type of an autoimmune disease is definitely not worth it. I never write any reviews but I found others should be aware of side effects."


"I take 20mg Adderall XR daily for ADHD. I feel extremely productive, focused, and proactive while on it. My first day taking it, I usually am a normal eater, I could only eat a sandwich bag of pretzels before losing any appetite. That night, despite eating almost nothing, I biked 21 miles (my standard biking route), without stopping, in record time, without even feeling exhausted. Now, each day I take it, i feel very intelligent and concentrated, and come up with ideas easily, as well as feeling great all of the time. In my opinion, Adderall is the greatest thing to grace humankind, and I would suggest it to anybody who has difficulty focusing, especially if you are overweight. I lost 25 lbs in my first 3 months taking it, though."


"I don't have insurance but do have a discount at my pharmacy. I've used Lutera for 12 years! Last month I was switched to Orsythia and did notice my mood changed a bit, was so hungry therefore gained 10 pounds. I did have a super light period and my breasts didn't hurt at all this past time. I needed to start eating good anyway and I've lost weight and I now know what's causing my increases anger so I'm more mellow (myself again). I like Orsythia and plan on not switching. "


"Came off Atripla due to "slight" potential for resistance to the part that affects the CNS. So having resistance testing done can pay off..Plus I had real problems sleeping when taking Atripla. I was only on Atripla for about 5 weeks while awaiting resistance test results. then within 30 days on the new Isentress and Truvada my Viral Load went from 45,000 to 125 and my CD4 up from 670 to 1,000 plus. So Atripla helped get me there but the new treatment has no side effects on me. I now sleep so well. Bliss! While I get the medicine for about $40 per month in Australia I have to get BOTH Truvada and Isentress total $80. It is very expensive if I am caught short working on a project overseas, like $500..for a months supply."


"I have been taking Prozac for anorexia nervosa. I started ever since I was 11. It has helped me with gaining weight. It sucks though cause I was at a normal weight. I have noticed a slight change in my mood.I used to be constantly screaming at myself, telling myself I can't have the foods I want. That voice is kinda gone although it is startING to come back....I have done all I could so that's why my doctor put me on this med.....I am taking 10mg now...They might be upping my dose soon though."


"Had an endoscopy (w/biopsy) and colonoscopy (double adventure) yesterday. Not my first time having procedures but first trial with Prepopik. Much easier than expected. Started 1st pack around 5pm & drank more than the 5 8oz clear liquids (rotated between chicken broth and Gatorade to balance off the sweet/salt cravings plus have extra electrolytes to avoid dehydration). The meds kicked in about an hr later and continued till around 10pm. Second dose at 1am. Had plenty to drink again. Doc recommended I take Gas-x (1 tablet after drinking the med). No cramping! Slept from 3-6am. Had mild headache (thought caffeine withdrawal or being hungry). My procedure was at 9am. Headache/nauseous till procedure but recovered fine! Would recommend meds."


"I've been on the Nuvaring for about 6 month now and I like the fact I can put it in and forget about it, but I've had pretty bad side effects. Bad acne which I've never had before. I'm always miserable and depressed and my sex drive is gone. I didn't gain any weight which was good because I don't need it. I've also been on six different pills. Everyone is different so you just got to find what fits you best and this wasn't for me at all."


"I've only been using this for about two months. But so far, its fantastic. I'm, not pregnant. I'm not sick, or depressed. And I'm still pretty normal, in every other aspect.
The injection was basically painless, other than the numbing stuff, and a big nasty bruise afterwards. But that goes away in about two weeks.
In my opinion, this is the best birth control available."


"Works great.  Was experiencing adverse effects of low T and my doctor confirmed it.  He prescribed this to me as 2 pumps per leg per day.  At first it took about 45 minutes to absorb but now it takes about 5-10 minutes and goes on easily.  My wife now complains that my libido is too strong LOL.  I love this.  I hope you have similar experience as I do.  My insurance didn't want to cover the other popular brands.  The Pharmacy specialist in my insurance told me to go for this as they would cover it right off the bat.  Glad I spoke to them.  Just $20.00 per two bottle refills."


"I am labeled bipolar II. I take 1200 mg of lithium a day. It has helped in my case.  No more fast cycling manias, no real bouts of depression. The downside is that hurt the libido as I have seen some studies where it can decrease testerone and my level is low. It all started when I started the lithium. I experience flat emotion, what made me realize it was it was hard to grieve when my mom passe. Typically, nothing never really effects me, I rarely feel stress or pressured,  I am indifferent to most things. I am on Wellbutrin, lamictal and occasional Xanax but the lithium is the culprit I believe. So now it's a trade off, get off it and play merry go round the meds Or keep on it and deal with the side effects, I go back and forth on it."


"Been taking this for about a month now.  Had been on Pristiq, but it killed my libido.  Doc finally tested me for low T, and I started taking a steroid replacement (fortesta) about the same time I started Viibyrd.  Now I feel great, but do get the random boner every now and then."


"Insertion was incredibly painful even with meds before hand. But it was quick. I have PCOS, I'm 41 and have been off balance hormonally and now I am feeling pretty great after a week with these hormones balancing me out. As for me, cramping, bloating and back pain are still there, although not as strong. Cervix is still a little raw but nothing some Motrin can't alleviate."


"I wish I listened to my friends or at least read the messages on here before plunging that strange looking egg into my vagina. I would rather hatch a dinosaur out of there than be dealing with this twinging itch and burning right now. I cannot get the itch to stop and I can't even itch it because it's too high up!!!"


"I took an extra strength generic senna laxative after a week of incomplete bowel movement. It was overnight so I took it at 7pm. At around 9:30 stomach gurgling started, followed by intense cramps and gas and at around 11pm I had one large solid movement which relieved the cramps so I could sleep. Woke up at 9am to even more intense cramps and gas and had another solid movement which turned to diarrhea half way through. Then no more cramps gas or poop, but I didn't feel satisfied so I had a cup to coffee to get me moving and about 5 minutes after finishing it I was rushing to the toilet, and had some more diarrhea.  Just be prepared for this medication to take a while if you do use it."


"I'm using Retin-a 0.025 gel version of tretinoin. My review is more of an encouragement rather than full review. My full review will happen after at least a year of usage. Current usage - 2 months.

So, you see, within 2 months of usage already deserves a 8 score rating from me. I could easily give it higher but I rather wait for my full review.

Now, I have read many of what the users said here and on the Internet. It will be best for new users not to pay too much attention of users below 2 months of usage. Because all you hear is pain, breakout, worries and eventually the key way they use = give up. It's your choice. But please read those who have actually used tretinoin for at least 6 months.
"


"I had a traumatic experience with an ex-boyfriend of mine three years back and I've been fine. I am now deployed and doing missions in Iraq and have seen a few explosions and what not and I think that's what triggered my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I was hesitant about trying medicines but they said I could take them and still go out on the road. So far they seem to be helping lighten my mood and actually want to get out of bed in the morning and not worry or get irritated and paranoid at random times like I normally would. I am also taking it with clonazepam, which is helping a lot! No side effects yet, hopefully none to come! "


"It is the best has really helped me I fill like my old self thank god for this medicine"


"Ive bern on this drug for a month and still haven't slept.  Worthless excude for a sleep medication.  Why is this a Schedule IV controlled substance?"


"I am a retired physician. Every winter & spring I suffer with horrible congestive episodes, once becoming so dizzy, I barely could get out of bed just to go to the bathroom. I saw an ENT doc who diagnosed me with vasomotor rhinitis, and stopped my Claritin. Spring came around  & I was miserable again.  I saw an allergist who did multiple skin testing & concluded I had no allergies-urban irritants caused nasal mucosal swelling resulting in my congestion. When my symptoms got worse, I was sent for a CT scan of my sinuses, & was found to have chronic sinusitis.
Every year I still have seasonal recurrences of sinusitis. My new PCP decided to try Singulair (Montelukast) along with antibiotics & I can now breathe out of both nostrils. Yay!"


"I still have some side effects from the medication. But they are much better than the last medication.

One blue black discoloration from one injection,

Occasional headache,

Hypertension,

Occasionally speaking problems,

Occasionally vomiting,

Decreased sexual ability"


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


"This birth control pill has me constantly  on my period. I was on my period for 35 days straight when I first started taking it. I've been taking it for almost 4 months and I've been on my period for at least half of the time. Absolutely horrible since I am a newlywed."


"Celexa is my miracle drug!  I'm on the generic Citalopram.  It is the only thing that has worked for my severe anxiety due to adjustment disorder.  I was previously on Prozac which only made the anxiety worse but Celexa calms me and makes me easier to be around.  My moods are much more balanced and I have a joyful outlook on life.  I'm on 20mg and I am so thankful for Celexa!"


"I only have 2 days left thank goodness. I'm taking 500mg twice a day. This medication is working very well but if I ever run into this problem again I will opt for a different medication only because I am constantly nauseous and have no appetite what so ever. It has been like my whole pregnancy in 5 days without actually being sick this time. I just have to keep reminding myself 2 more days then your done."


"I have been on Alesse 28 for a year now as of this upcoming March. Big improvement over my other pill Ministerin 24. Before I took Aleese, I had irregular periods with lots of blood on the 2nd day. After switching to Alesse, my periods are only 4 days and I have no spotting compared to my other pill. I recommend this pill to any women but talk to your gynacologist first as it is not for everyone. Also, I have no acne! :)"


"Birth control pills make me extremely nauseous, & the shot made me gain a ton of weight & caused bad acne, so the only method I can use consistently is the Nuvaring. It keeps my skin clear, is easy to use, doesn't bother my husband during sex, and it grew my breasts a cup size. Unfortunately, Nuvaring makes me SO tired that I gained weight due to inactivity since all I want to do is sleep, I suspect it has caused anxiety & depression (although I can't be sure), and it gives me a terrible headache & nausea the first 3 days I put a new ring in. It dulls my sex drive a bit, but nothing major. I will probably stick with this method for a while unless something better comes around."


"I have been on this medication since July 2016 and it has done wonders for me especially my mood swings. Started at 25mg and slowly went up to 125mg. I still get anxiety attacks but not as bad as before I went on this medication. I think learning how to manage the anxiety along with this medication can make a difference. Still get bouts of depression as I have been diagnosed persistent depression."


"I am in my 30's and have been taking Adderall XR for three months.  Seriously what a difference I have seen in my life!  My mind is 100% more clear and I am so much more level headed and organized.  I wish I had gone to the doctor years ago for my ADHD, instead of just living with it. Now I am so happy to have the ability to control my thoughts and accomplish my goals.  I occasionally get insomnia, but I have had insomnia for most of my life.  I also have lost weight and didn't have much to lose, so I have to start eating even if I'm not hungry.  No other side effects for me."


"I have had both the Implanon and the Nexplanon. I became pregnant right after having the first one removed.  With the first one I bled for a few weeks but after that I had no menses. With the Second one I had no menses either. I am about to have my third one placed here in a few weeks as it is time for the second one to come out."


"To help with bad case of PMS (acne, depression, anxiety), decided to start something that will help regulate my periods and balance my hormones. Just started this, and now on day 5, and my only complaint is I feel like I have 'morning sickness'. I'm so sick to my stomach not long after taking it. And prescription nausea meds don't help. I'm not expecting the acne to clear up immediately, but on plus side, no depression and anxiety, which is huge win. So far, if the nausea leaves within next couple months, I will continue this medication."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Taste was offensive to me - like a cough syrup but sweet.  Worked well.  Apply Boudreaux's Butt Paste to avoid a raw bottom.  Best advice my DR has given me.  No cramping but did feel nauseous because I didn't like taste nor texture.  Other than that not as bad as I thought it was going to be."


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

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

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

3.) The medication is addictive."


"I have been taking this tablet for three days now and symptoms have got worse . Pain on right side is still very sore and constant need to go to bathroom . Constant nausea . Flu like symptoms chills all over feel so exhausted depressed. I have a rash started on my face chest and back . I am only over the flu . I saw my doctor today and he has given me ceflacin . I would not recommend nurofanton to anyone it's horrendous ."


"Do not choose this method if you are already a overly sensitive person or may have any depression or anxiety, I would not recommend this. I am 24, and this is my second type of birth control method I tried. After I insert it, it took me about 5/6 months to realize that the medicine caused me to become more sensitive, suffer depression and anxiety. I have about 5 panic attacks in one year and always easily irritated and depressed. Once I got rid of it, I was back to normal. It may not be the same for all women but this is my experience."


"Had very adverse reaction after 8 days of applying cream to chest ended up with severe open skin wounds needed antibiotics, lidocaine gel, silvadine creme, prendisone, oxicodone, altrax, and ambien to sleep sooooooo painful."


"I'm starting my 2nd month of this birth control, so it's not quite enough time to determine if it's amazing yet or not, however the first month is usually the worst.  I was on Orho Evra for almost a month, when I began experiencing horrible side effects and so my doctor switched me to Loestrin 24 Fe.  The main reason I'm taking it is because I have very heavy periods that last for 7 days, which leads to extreme cramps and nausea as well as feeling faint.
The first month taking this went extremely well.  I didn't have any spotting, my period started as soon as I took the brown pills and ended once I took the white pill again.  Side Effects: headache, nausea, moodyness, bloating, diarrhea."


"It was the worse decision ever to have Paraguard in me. Continuous discharge made me feeling depressed and worried about the bad smell. I had it for a better relationship, but it ruined the relationship as I bleed continuously and lost confidence. I started to loose my hair, then recently, severe eczema covered the whole face and neck area. I could not sleep as it caused severe itchiness. I had mild eczema when I was young but last week, it was developed so quickly and severely. So I decided to take it out. I have not got any other treatment except taking Paraguard out, then no discharge, bad smell, eczema... all gone. Now my partner and I are working together to find natural contraception. Mutual understanding made us bonding more together"


"I'm on day 7 of using Chantix.  I'm using it to quit a smokeless tobacco habit.  I was using about a tin a day and wanted to share my experience as reading through the reviews it seamed like they were all for smokers.
On day 2 Copenhagen started to taste nasty, and make me nauseous having one it.  I "powered through" this for 3 more days, as I wasn't quite ready to give up my buddy.  I'm now into day 2 without a "dip" and I really don't have the desire for one.  I still have triggers, but I can rationalize and overcome with logic that these are just cravings and ignore them.
As far as side effects I do have some nausea  after taking the pill, but with food and a glass of water its not bad.  Like most very vivid dreams, but no nightmares."


"Aside from a slight burning sensation where my migraine is located this drug works wonderfully. Better than any nasal spray or OTC drug I've ever tried."


"I was prescribed Saphris for bipolar disorder. The morning after my first bedtime dose I had a number of side effects. I experienced confusion, dizziness, hallucinations and acute short term memory loss.

As a result of the confusion and acute short term memory loss, I unintentionally overdosed on my morning medications resulting in extreme doses of medications. The most concerning was a 900mg dose of Wellbutrin (bupropion) which in doses of 300mg or more can cause seizures."


"I had Mirena for nearly a year. Had it removed yesterday after becoming increasingly anxious and easily irritated. Had severe headaches since 2 months after insertion. I have lost all sex drive. I also started having acne problems and never have before. Hopefully I will return to my old self soon. Mirena wasn't for me."


"I really wish people didn't rate their experience of having taken the pill for one day or less than one week, and here's why: For my first week, I felt great, and no side effects whatsoever.  Then pretty much the day week 2 started, I was so nauseous I thought I had swine flu, so anxious I couldn't breathe, and I can not stop crying.  It's weird because when I was on Lexapro, which also sucked, there's no way I could cry - I was totally robotic.  Anyways I also can't sleep and I have headaches.  I am so, so upset about this because it's like why did I get teased with that one week of clarity and then drop so much lower?"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"It tastes ok, don't drink it @ room temperature, just chill it a bit and it's doable. I split the gallon in about half, started at 6pm, took a little bit more than half by 8 or so, and by 11 was still going to the bathroom.
Took on the rest starting at around 2am. The second part was much harder to get down. Almost threw up once.
I didn't want to be at the hospital and still fell the need to go to the bathroom, so I gave myself plenty of time to complete the dose several hours before the procedure time.
I am 60 and getting my 2nd colonoscopy that my primary doctor ordered. Hoping everything will be ok."


"I first started birth control at 27 when I was going to get married and needed it not only for birth control, but also so I wouldn't be on my period for my honeymoon. I have been super pleased.

I used to have HORRIBLE periods.  I would have to wear a nightime/Ultra Super Tampon AND a heavy flow pad."


"I found teratoll very helpful I take I  conjunction with mertazapine and it has really changed my life I have many lifetime issues that will never go away but with this combination of drugs I feel my condition is under  control  now I take 400 milligrams per day of slow release with my dose of mertazapine and I only get angry now like a normal person get irrational only in extreme  circumstances but generally I can function fine"


"I was prescribed Metoprolol for Atrial Fibrillation and found that I was extremely tired.  I began taking it at night, but developed terrible constipation. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, so the constipation was not good for me."


"I've had shingles a total of 6 times because I am immuno-compromised. Each time it was the same area of my back and wrapping around my side to my stomach. I do not  recall the first few outbreaks as it was during a time I was so ill that I am basically missing a few months of my life because I was not alert at all during that time. I do recall the last 4 outbreaks. One of the doctors and I have a theory about why I did not notice the burning, itching etc that tends to be very painful and annoying for most people. The meds I am already on. I take pain meds around the clock already as well as taking gabapentin which helps nerve pain. Now on 200mg/day to prevent recurrence. I don't seem to have any issues with medication taken daily."


"The medicine itself I didn't have an issue with, although I still prefer Klonopin, but it was the withdrawal I couldn't handle.  I was on this medication for two months and since, like I previously mentioned, I decided to go back on Klonopin. I stopped taking the Xanax XR. When I did, I felt like a bus ran over me.  I felt shaky, drowsy and like I'd been out drinking the night before (which I haven't done in 10 years). It really wasn't worth the withdrawal."


"Feeling much better but have a hard time sleeping. I can let things go easier now."


"I have been using Belviq for about two years.  I went from 190 down to 165, and then it just stopped helping me lose.  The price is so very high and even though I use a coupon and go to Walmart, each month was a hassle with the pharmacist as to what discount, if any, I would be able to get.  I never heard of $25.00 per month with a voucher!!  I need to know where to get a voucher like THAT!  The last time I tried to use a company coupon, Walmart told me that it was no longer valid.  I've never gone back, even thou I have a prescription.  While I was on it, I noticed that my weight was no longer dropping, even tho I was eating the same.  Without a coupon, I won't be buying it any more....but where can I get a voucher and pay $25.00??"


"I started taking Paxil about 7 or 8 years ago for anxiety.  I had been in the hospital for an arrythmia at age 24 and it totally freaked me out.  After that, every illness I had I was sure it was my heart and I started to panic and check my pulse frequently. I ended up in the ER about twice a month thinking I was dying. My PCP finally suggested Paxil.  Since then I have had ZERO panic/anxiety attacks.  I have had problems occasionally with ejaculatory dysfunction, but not often enough for me to be that upset.  Besides, the trade-off is feeling better and living normally. It has been great for me and I hope you have a similar experience."


"I developed a yeast infection and didn't want to deal with the 7 days of inserting the medicine, so I tried Monistat 1 and after applying it I ready the reviews and they were HORRIBLE! But do not let them scare you because I had little to no burning at all! Just a mild tingling sensation. In two days I started to notice relief. Wear a light panty liner for a few days. This product worked extremely for me, it all depends on how it reacts for you! Definitely try it!"


"My girlfriend, while under the influence of Lunesta, sat up while dreaming she was bring raped...screaming at the top of her voice uncontrollably. I turned to hold and console her and she bit into my wrist without letting go for about 30 seconds. She was crazy delusional and incoherent. I am totally scared and traumatized by the experience. This is a dangerous drug. I told her to get off Lunesta and learn to sleep 6-8 hours like a normal person by listening to your body and balancing your life."


"I got my Implanon in May. I was on my period when I got it so I hoped that it would stop soon. It went on it's normal cycle and then totally stopped. About 5 weeks later I started spotting and it continued for about 3 weeks with little breaks in between. It stopped for about 5 more weeks and now we're on with the spotting again. I've had massive mood swings and it's getting a little uncontrollable. My friends love it and as far as I can tell, it will all level out soon. I recommend it if you don't like remembering to take pills or such. I'm happy that it's pain free and sometimes you'll forget you have it. Just remember that it's going to be different for everyone."


"1st experience: On September 2, 2014 got my period and it ended on the 5th, had intercourse on the 12th ( the condom slipped off) went to get plan B at Target about 2 hours later. I started spotting the very next day [13th] , however, I only spotted on the 13th and didn't get my period until the 12th of October. Plan B tends to mess with your cycle so I didn't get my period again until the 8th of December. 2nd Experience: got my period on April 17, 2015, had intercourse the 12th of May (condom broke ) I got plan B about 30 minutes later, however, I didn't spot the next day like I did the first time when I took plan B on September 2014. I was supposed to get my period May 15 th, but I finally got it today [May 20th]. Don't worry it works!"


"I've had Skyla for almost 2 years now, and I have never been completely happy with it. I was told it would take 6 months for it to "settle in" for the spotting to subside, which was true. But I still get stabbing pains from time to time without bleeding.

After a year it seems it has stopped working because now I'm back to bleeding heavily and irregularly, I have a period sometimes twice a month and there is no "schedule".

I am having it removed and switching to Mirena."


"I have tried dozens of treatments. Fluocinonide is the only one that helps."


"I had a yeast infection for the past 3 days, went to my doctor and be gave me the one time pill that usually relieves symptoms in 24 hours. It didnt so I bought monistat-7. I did exactly as the instructions said and waited to insert before bed. I layed down immediately after and instantly the itching was intensifying by the second. I had a burning sensation. I'm in tears rolling back and forth in bed. I took a shower and tried to push the rest out and it helped but it definitely didn't go away. I work at 6am and it's almost 12am. Wish me luck! I am never using this product again if my life depended on it."


"A very simple birth control to use.. I couldn't remember pills so I was on the ring for almost 3 years (I'm now 29).  My sex drive has been reduced to nothing, except late in my period, not coincidentally when the ring has been out the longest.  My periods are short, only about 2 1/2 days of light flow, but the cramps start 2 days before that and last right up til I put the next ring in.  Worst of all is the depression and mood swings.  I have a great life, but when my husband asks what I want for lunch, that has been enough to reduce me to literal tears lately. Also, I've gained nearly 40 pounds despite being more active than ever.  I just came back from the gyno and got a copper (non-hormonal IUD) inserted today."


"An experimental on the part of my doctor. Gave me samples to try Farxiga for 10days.  Let me tell you the Good thing first: it lowers my sugar level. Bad things that happened to me: dizziness, dehyradrated, UTI (I was so shocked to have this) and I'm so grumpy after taking Farxiga. Just now, the main doctor called me and told me about the urine test and he said it was very high in infection and that antibiotic was ordered at the pharmacy for me to pick up. Told me to stop taking Farxiga and just continue with Metformin.  So Metformin  it is and my supplement to control sugar level.  I have not taken antibiotics for really long years, and now with this Farxiga...the cons."


"Vytorin did a great job at lowering my total cholesterol level but the side effects are so bad. Leg cramping and muscle pain. I took myself off of it and I will never go back on it. All my aches and pains went away totally within 2 weeks! So I will ask my doctor to try something different. "


"I have suffered from cold hives for about 10 years now and till this day I have not found a solution. Allegra does nothing for me. I take about two allegras everytime I step out my house and still get hives all over my face and body. Thats more than the recommended dosage for 180mg. I still have hope that theres a cure somewhere out there"


"I have recently been placed on Abilify 20mg for early onset schizophrenia.  Previously I was on Amisulpride which made me very tired and gave me problems with sexual dysfunction, Abilify has provided me with a symptom free solution."


"I have been taking these since 2011- 2016. At first they helped decrease my panic attacks but it came with a price. The negative side effects were emptiness, fogginess, poor concentration, worsening social skills, apathy, constant worrying, mania. I was really unmotivated to do things, I didn't care about anything. I just wanted to workout and eat which also didn't make me happy. I didn't realize it was because of these pills until I started switching to zoloft.

Now I feel much better. Also I got frequently gastritis from them. Glad I'm off them, feel like they stole years from my life without me knowing. I didn't notice they caused all this probably because I was have so many panic attacks frequently when I started with them."


"I was on Sprintec for 3 years. I had no major side effects I thought until recently I stopped taking it so my husband and I can start trying for a baby. About a week and a half off the pill my sex drive sky rocketed! Now I'm realizing that the hormones were suppressing my sex drive. Anyone else had this happen to them?"


Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy

"After 5 months of infusions I feel better although CIDP symptoms persist. Side effects were mouth sores/swollen lips both with white blisters starting after three days resolving after two weeks. Significant coverage of chest and back rash, large red blotches. Start on the fifth day and resolve after forming black scabs after three weeks. Will continue with last treatment and then quit."


"An excellent medication for treating my condition"


"It worked within a few days"


"Made me anxiety go out of control,  dizziness,  nauseous,  migraines,  acne, breast pain, fatigue... etc etc. Don't recommend at all."


"Omg..what a terrible drug!

I just recently asked to be changed back to Advair. My regular Dr wouldn't so I saw a colleague of his and she asked why I was put on it in the first place.

I told her that I did not know why he changed me from Advair to Symbicort when I wasn't having any problems with it. She changed me to Advair.

It is Monday  and I just changed on Thursday  and already I feel better.

Asthma is still bothering me and I'm on prednisone but my mental outlook has drastically changed for the better. I felt like I was in a depressing fog that i couldn't get out of. Cant believe I was on this garbage drug for a year and a half.

Coughing all the time.nothing much coming out.just constant coughing.

Thank God im off this terrible drug"


"These are great if you can't sleep. They lull you off nicely."


"I take this as a mood stabalizer it has really helped level out my moods"


"I have had two kids, don't know if that effects insertion pain but it was literally a pinch, like when they take blood from your finger tip, not as horrible as some people are leading on. I had very light cramping for a few days and my periods became sporadic for a few months. I don't get a period anymore, might spot for one day every few months. I have not had one single problem with it. Its effortless. I don't have to worry about taking anything, getting pregnant or my period for a solid 5 years. Its fantastic."


"Took 6 day 1 take 5 day 2 take 4 day3 take 3 day 4 take 2 day 5 take 1 day 6. This has worked on numerous occasions to decrease swelling and pain from gout."


"I tried the 2 week trial and I did lose about 7 pounds  and my sugar cravings were diminished. I wish I could continue but it is just too expensive. I wish it came in generic, however the patents don't start expiring until 2023 so it won't be anytime soon."


"I felt like a zombie on this medication, gained weight, had no sex drive, and basically walked around not knowing what was going on. Definitely wouldn't recommend based on my own experience."


"Worked for 2 weeks then stopped."


"I've been on Vyvanse at varying dosages (30-40 mg) for about 2 years. I've never been on anything else really, so I can't speak to other drugs, but I feel like I got my life back. I did notice it would wear off for me around 3 in the afternoon though, and the doctor put me on a low dose of Dextroamphetamine at 2:30 to supplement the rest of the day. So far, so good. I don't want to take higher and higher doses, so I try to stay where I'm at and make that work. Most days it does. Great drug for me."


"You body does take time to adjust to it. The first time I took it, I had it for 6-7 months and felt nauseous right after taking it and would get horrible headaches. I forgot to refill the prescription so I was back on it a month later. And three months after that I'm still experiencing nausea and headaches, but now I have light spotting a couple days before my period, and it doesn't start until 1-3 days after the sugar pills. The only upside, is no pregnancy and it's cheap!"


"I am 32 years old and have struggled with acne since high school.  I was completely freaked out about taking this medication after reading all the horror stories online, but after talking to my doctor I knew I wanted to give it a try.  I am in my 2nd month of taking the medication and I have seen dramatic results.  I have not had any bad side effects so far.  Have had dry lips (too be expected) but they have not been bad at all (Thanks to Aquaphor Lip Repair - I constantly put it on).  My skin is dry, which is also to be expected.  I wear contacts and my eyes do get dry at times, but no drops help.  I do notice joint aches at times so I take Tylenol or Advil and it helps.  It's nothing severe at all.  BEST MEDICATION EVER."


"afters years of Sotalol and many AF attacks Flecanide has been a wonder drug for me, I get tired but don't blame flecanide thats to easy, many things cause tiredness!"


"I just had my 3rd shot and I'm very happy with it. Before I got on the shot i had tried several different pills. They all made me have mood swings and depression, and I felt tired all the time. My doctor talked me into trying the depo shot and it has been amazing. I feel full of energy and I haven't had any mood swings and best thing is I haven't had a period since!!!! The only side effect that I don't like is the weight gain. I have been working out like crazy to prevent the weight gain, which I haven't gained any weight but I can't loose any. So basically I'm working out just to stay the same. This sucks but if this is the worst of the side effects for me then I can deal with that."


"I started this medication for weight loss on 01/15/10 and Today is 02/14/10 I am a female, age 22 and started out at 227lbs and I am down to 210lbs. That's 17 lbs. The first day I took this medication I could not believe my lack of interest in food. However, the first 2 days on this medication I had a horrible headache, bad taste in my mouth, and extreme dry mouth. Symptoms DID go away after 2 days, so that was the good part.  I exercise about 2 days a week, at this time. I would suggest to team up with your Dr with this so he can keep an eye on your blood pressure, wt loss, heart rate, etc. This medication has started to wear off recently but my eating habits are on the right track. Other than that, this medication is amazing!"


"Aleve is great for back pain.I take one pill in the morning. And one at night before bed time.no pain at all.That's what my M.D. told me to take.thanks Aleve .great job"


"Perfect experience."


"I take 25mg of Losartan for mildly elevated Blood Pressure. I'm a 49 y/o male. It's the best in terms of not having side effects as the others did and had lowered BP from 145/80 to 116/65. The only catch is I can't drink coffee with it as it will spike it back up to 145/80 again."


"I've been taking Latuda for over a year now for bipolar 2.  It seemed to work well for a few months at 40mg, then stopped working.  Upped dose to 60, worked for a few months.  Increased again to 80, now ineffective.  Now I'm on lamotrigine concurrently - if that helps I will stop taking Latuda.

Side effects have been very bad.  Never had a panic attack in my life until I took Latuda, now I've had several.  Nausea every time I take it.  Supposedly this medicine is "weight-neutral", but I gained at least 30 pounds over the past year and a half (I didn't change my diet or exercise habits from before taking it).  Now I am eating better and working out, but I doubt if I can lose the weight until I'm off Latuda.  Hope to get off it soon!"


"I have nothing but good things to say about paraGard.  I started the birthcontrol pill in my late teens and had horrible side effects, weight gain, acne etc etc... you name it I experienced it. I tried a couple more birth control methods but the side effect were too great for me to continue. At 24 after 2 years of marriage and my first baby I really started to do my research and found paraguard and I have not looked back since... 4 years later and I could not be happier. "


"i stop taking this pill after taking it for 4 years.... I completely stop pms for an entire year so... i finally got off, because i actually want kids some day and i don't want to become STERILE..."


"I've had the mirena coil fitted and can honestly say best thing I've done!. Of course the fitting of it is very uncomfortable, but I had a great doctor who talked to me and kept my mind off the process. For the sake of 10 minutes of uncomfortable fitting, for 5 years of not needing to do anything for protection I will happily go for this again. After the fitting it was just like strong period pains on the evenings for a week, but now I can't even tell it's in!. Honestly yes it hurts to get fitted but it's worth it!."


"Just took my first dose and got in the shower and immediately felt severe heartburn. Worst heartburn ever. It made my ears hurt. I thought I was dying. I had to tell my 7 year old if something happens and you can't wake me up call 911 and tell them our address. It was that bad. I drank a full bottle of water after seeing what everyone else said and the heartburn is still there but not severe anymore. I didn't even lay down before the heartburn started so now I'm scared to go to bed in case it gets bad again."


"Have taken this for last six years, primarily to sleep at night, since I don't work and can never get tired on my own, and have major anxiety issues.  I only take 100 mgs. but if you keep on taking it , at least for me, your body just gets used to it. Have gained almost 50 lbs. on it and I don't even eat a lot. I do like a sugary snack every day, but can't believe the weight gain this has caused.  I can't exercise due to feet problems, even tho docs keep pushing to get out there and exercise. So this is a good drug if you don't have to get up the next day early to help you stay asleep, but taking it during the day time made me like a zombie, too out of it.  I wish there was a better sleep aid that KEPT you asleep for 9 hours!"


"I have been on the Xulane patch for 3 months now. During the first month, I did experience some pregnancy side effects (AM nausea, food/smell sensitivity, painful breasts) especially on my patch change day. I believe it is normal as your body is getting used to the amount of hormones you are receiving. When it came time for my 4th week (off week) I did have a severe migraine that lasted up until I began my period, 2-3 days after removing the patch. It was so debilitating that I did consider discontinuing the patch. However, things returned to normal with my period and I did notice a lighter period that lasted only 3 days."


"I've only been using Duac for 5 days but my skin is already so much clearer. I'm experiencing the dryness and peeling, but I can count the amount of new spots I've had since using it on one hand. Usually when I get up in the morning I can expect to see at least 3 new spots on various parts of my face, so it's a huge improvement for me. I was put on it because I obsessively pick at my skin (which is linked with my anxiety) and so, the more blemishes I have, the more I damage my face. So far, Duac is really helping me to leave my face alone and I hope it will continue this way. If anyone has a similar problem I would recommend at least giving it a try."


"At 23 my RA got so bad that walking & lifting my hands over my head was enough to make me wince in pain.

Doc prescribed me Humira, and my pain went away overnight (literally).

I continued taking it for a year, and I haven't had a single notable flare-up since the first injection. I still get random SMALL aches but they're completely forgetabble.

Can't say the list of long-term side effects don't scare me. So since I feel 100%, I've decided I no longer want it. Have actually been off the med for about 6 months now and not a single flare-up.

Doc pressured me to mix it with Methotrexate, but I'm not a human test subject so that ain't happening. Doctors, please listen to your patients. If they feel great, don't force MORE meds on them."


"My life has changed significantly the last few months. I'm felling like totally lost my energy levels and fighting to keep the interest for anything. I start to think that I developed kind of sickness like anemia or something else. For sure I decided to investigate and find the root cause. Today I saw the Bystolic reviews here and the preview comments is exactly like mine : "It was effective in lowering my blood pressure from 150/95 down to 128/83 on average. However, this drop came at a tremendous expense to my lifestyle."  I myself have felt very low energy, occasional dizziness, sexual and general lack of interest in anything. My appetite dropped and I stopped feeling life inside me.  So, I decided to see my doctor  and stop it."


"This is a very good pain reliever, I don't find it addictive at all. I will say that is seems to suppress normal dreams because immediately after I quit taking it I have an explosion of unusual dreams. But that settles down within a few nights."


"Like many other posts, I'm not one to write reviews. However, to add to the list of complaints, this birth control has made my face horrible. I've always had great skin, after being on it for a mere 5 weeks I am shocked every time I look in the mirror. I am switching tomorrow. Not only acne, but I have gained 5 pounds in the 5 weeks and also have had a couple anxiety attacks which is very unlike me. Not only do I want to share my experience, but if I am in any place for advice; I advise not to get on this pill."


"This was the worst experience I've had with a medication. I had to go off Lithium because it gave me hypothyroidism and diabetes insipidus and Geodon was a replacement. I was given Geodon at the lowest dose for about two weeks. I was okay, but experiencing a bit of random anxiety. Then my dose was upped and I had a panic attack (I've only had 3 of those in my life before) within 24hrs. Several days later I was in the ER with suicidal thoughts for the first time in 20 years. As far as general effectiveness goes before the dosage increase sent everything haywire, I got depressed right away once totally off the Lithium, so it wasn't really helping anyway. The suicidal thoughts and anxiety were gone within 48hrs after I stopped taking it."


"I've had tendonitis for over 6 years. After 4 cortisone shots & years of taking Aleve every day, my doctor said surgery was my only option. I found another Dr. & he prescribed Mobic. I have almost NO wrist pain. It is amazing what a difference it makes. My only complaint is that it dries out my nose so badly that I get a nose bleed at least once a week."


"I would just like to say thank you to Doxy for saving my life. I have extreme depression and anxiety, and that was only made worse by my acne which covered almost all of my face and was spreading fast. I tried every over-the-counter medication, every face wash and even attempted laser therapy. I almost took Accutane, but heard the terrible stories online about how bad the side effects were and more.

Even my doctor tried to convince me to take Accutane, but I'm here to say if you have horrible red blotchy acne that is very congested, please try Doxycycline. It took 3-4 months, and when I look in the mirror now I actually kind of want to cry because of how much it helped me.

Doxy + Spectro Blemish Cleanser & Moisturizer saved my life."


"I used Liada for approx 1 month after a relapse of my Ulcerative Colitis. My doctor gave me samples of it. It worked very well. I had been on sulfasalazine for many years and was happy to find something else to take since I didn't have to take as many pills with Lialda.  That said, after the samples ran out I was given a prescription and when I went to fill it at the pharmacy, I was shocked to see it was going to cost me over $300 for one months supply and that was AFTER my insurance paid more than half of it.  I normally have a $5.00 copay so, needless to say, I am back on sulfasalazine and dealing with flareups again.  (I got a discount card from Shire so the prescription would only cost me $120 a month but that's still too much)."


"I am 5'5", and 31 yo. I have been overweight my whole life. Even as a child. At my heaviest I weighed 256lbs. I could hardly make it up and down the stairs. That is when I started taking Adipex. I am now 149lbs, and feel amazing! I know that there are side effects with every medicine, but there are also side effects to being overweight. Honestly, it is not easy to being weaned off. You have to work hard everyday, not to cave into the cravings, and keep active. It gave me the edge I needed to make that life change. Other friends that have tried using Adipex, but could no stick to the diet and exercise plan and lost little to no weight! You need to want to make the change, the pills just help."


"My doctor prescribed Lyrica for my anxiety, and it has been a God-send.  Dump Trazodone. I feel like normal people are supposed to feel - with basically no side effects.  In addition, I have Herpes, and since taking Lyrica have had no Herpes break-outs.  This drug is incredible."


"Did not help at all."


"I had the Implanon put in so that I would not have to remember to take the pill. My hormones went sky high and I have been bleeding ever since I got it put in 2 months ago. I do not recommend this to mothers who have just had a baby. Your hormones are already trying to get back to normal and the Implanon will only make it worse. I had it removed last week, I'm still bleeding and my hormones are still high. I would rather take the pill."


"I get a kidney stone attack at least once a year, the pain is unbearable....so bad that I feel like I will pass out.  In the ER they give me Toradol and within 10 minutes or less I feel better. Once they gave me morphine and it didn't touch the pain, now I ask for Toradol. The good thing about Toradol is that you don't feel sick from it and you can drive yourself home."

"I used Nuvaring in 2008 for 6 months, with no discernible side effects. I needed to remove it during intercourse since my partner could feel it, but my dog chewed it up and I could not get a timely replacement, and went off birth control. I began using it again in 2015 specifically to help with mood swings and sore breasts - PMS symptoms, for only 2 months. I experienced clear skin, no weight gain, and it controlled my moodiness. However it gave me tender breasts, low libido, migraines and neck pain, for which I would take ibuprofen daily to treat. I removed it since I don't require birth control at this time and didn't want to risk major side effects."


"I do not use Epiduo, but I am an esthetician, I read a lot of reviews and I just really needed to say this: BPO os extremely drying and irritating to almost anyone and SHOULD NOT be used daily if you no longer have the breakout! If you are experiencing dryness and redness, that is the BPO working, but once your breakout is dried out you should stop using Epiduo and switch to a Salicylic product so you are not stressing your skin and causing more damage than good! If you are especially sensitive to the BPO, maybe try it every other day until your breakout is cleared up. Okay I just had to share that info! Remember, you all are gorgeous, and positive thinking is like magic sometimes ;)"


"I have been on Effexor for couple of months and I have to say it really works. I am telling you if I wasn't on this medication I wouldn't know how to function right and there would be probably a lot of crying and not wanting to do anything and beating myself up which I hate and now I feel so much better."


"I have used Depakote for the past 13 years now, 500 mg per day.  The only side effects were nausea and anxiety for the first day or two.  At that point, I was taking 1000 mg.  My neurologist pulled back the dosage to 750 mg and later 500 mg.  I've never had weight gain as a result of it and notice no ill effects with light drinking.  I did stop taking Depakote for about 6 months about 10 years ago and soon thereafter had a petit mal seizure.  I immediately went back on Depakote and haven't had an issue since.  Really couldn't be more satisfied with this medicine."


"I'm about 4 months in, the first month was pretty dreadful. I was sick all the time, even to the point were I was throwing up. After that however it became much more bearable. Acne has somewhat cleared up, but also put on like 10 pounds. Even with my active lifestyle. That might be because I'm reaching my 30s? I've lost some of my sex drive though which is a bit depressing. Cramps aren't as intense. Overall I'm pretty happy with it."


"Had increasing bad RLS experiences before I knew they were RLS, so I just suffered through them.  Then was given tramadol for pain for shoulder injury, and noticed leg problems stopped. When I stopped tramadol for pain, the RLS returned. That was 8 years ago, and I have been taking it for my RLS ever since and it's a lifesaver. It never fails to make the symptoms stop or appear in the first place. Tramadol has worked great for me for RLS."


"I was one of those "just live with your cold sore outbreaks" people until I was introduced to Valtrex. Stress triggers my cold sores and I tried everything over the counter. Abreva made my outbreaks worse and I became pretty hopeless at this point. Long story short, at college I had such a big outbreak I decided to see the Health Center & I was prescribed just 1 Valtrex tab about 2 days into the outbreak. The morning after I took the pill, I felt like days had gone by because it had healed so fast. If you get cold sores, you do not need to deal for 10 days. If you take a Valtrex at the first sign of symptoms, either your blister does not even form, or you're looking at a 2 day hassle as opposed to a day 10 disaster."


"Was the sickest I have ever even been in my nightmares!! Not fun - don't get with a habit and I feel like it does nothing for cravings its just like oh I can't cuz it won't do anything., but that doesn't mean anything if ur urge to use is still there. I  had a heavy heroin addict before I got shot worst withdrawals of my life!!! Worse then methadone suboxone heroin mixed into 1 times 10 tough stuff.  Each is own. If u are serious about getting off the shit this is one way.. Good luck"


"Been taking 100mg for around 6 months now for Depression and Anxiety. I felt an almost immediate effect from Pristiq, did have trouble getting to sleep for the first 10 or so days and felt weird and spaced out a bit but nothing bad. I now feel great, I have a clear head and great concentration. I'm a lot more social too. I'm much more relaxed and look at life in a positive way. Stick with it, its the best medicine I have used by far."


"All night long one night my legs kept jumping up in the air till I couldn't sleep at keeping my husband up. So I got on Requip 0.25mg take 2 at bed time and I slept all night long, without jumping legs and if I had them I didn't know of them. So far as sleep it helps me also. This is the best thing for me and my legs."


"This is the worst birth control that I have ever used.  I was switched to this when my pharmacy stopped carrying Sprintec.  I experienced three and one half weeks of spotting and horrible cramping while on the pill.  I did not experience these symptoms while on any other birth control pill."


"Was prescribed Brintellix after being on Effexor for years and years, and it stopped doing it's job.   Started at the 5mg dose for 2 weeks, then to 10, and then to 20.  The first week I had more energy and a very euphoric mood.  I also became kind of impulsive and jittery (is installing broomstick holders in the utility room at 2:00am normal?).  At 10mg my anxiety started increasing, and at 20mg my anxiety was almost debilitating.  Talked to my doctor and she is switching me to something else.  I'm sure it's a great med, but just not for me unfortunately"


"This medication work miracles in alcohol addiction."


"I have been on Seasonique for a little over a month now, and about two weeks ago I started my period, which I thought would be normal because of my body adjusting, but it isn't. It is the heaviest it has ever been and I have extreme cramps so I will change my pill."


"I have found Effexor and therapy to be a fantastic combination. The Effexor alone has kept me from feeling like I'm going to climb the walls. I didn't lose any weight on Effexor. I actually gained some (in part due to my own lack of exercise). I weened off for about a year while I was pregnant. Withdrawals can be rough but not impossible. My advise is to ween VERY slowly. I went from 75 mg daily to 37.5 daily. Then to 37.5 every other day, then every two days, then every three days, etc. until I was taking it once a week then stopped."


"Awful experience. Took Natazia for 5 days and became so depressed and anxious. I would start crying for no reason and have serious mood swings and feel very irritable/annoyed at everyone around me. My vision became very blurry and my eyes were more dry than normal (I have contact lenses). I was nauseous most days and felt very bloated. My migraines came back full force. I do not recommend this pill at all."


"I have been on this for about 2 years, I barely get any periods mostly just spotting, no weight gain, you don't have to think about it but every other three years, and it just goes in your arm. I think it's the best birth control out there for now. I think it is perfect for me but everyone's body will react differently."


"I used to take Combivent aerosol inhaler and it was wonderful. They decided to make it non aerosol and it does not work. First off anyone without two hands, or arthritis, or wrist issues could not even work the inhaler thats WRONG. I have 2 good hands, thank goodness, but The inhaler malfunctions all the time. At first lots comes out, then slowly less and less over a month until I get no med. it doesn't help like it used to. Clogs up. Runs out before it says empty due to waste because of design flaws. I hate it. I don't even pay for it! Those paying hundreds-thats messed up its not worth $10 now."


"Ive bern on this drug for a month and still haven't slept.  Worthless excude for a sleep medication.  Why is this a Schedule IV controlled substance?"


"My insurance changed my prescription from OTC Lo to TriNessa.  TriNessa is effective in the sense that it has prevented unwanted pregnancy, however, for the last four months I have been on this medication, I have been feeling bloated and nauseous every single day.  For the first two months, I would take pregnancy tests because I thought I was pregnant.  I have changed the time I take this medicine from early morning to taking it at night before bed; I make sure I don't take it on an empty stomach. Nothing I have done seem to alleviate this problem.  This has not help the situation in the bed room.  I have this medication change to OTC Lo and just paid the high copayments monthly."


"Works great for my anxiety attacks, but after 6 years I've gone from 0.25 mg twice a day to 1mg twice a day.  Getting "anxious" about what will happen when this dose stops working."


"I began taking Effexor over a year ago and had recently reduced my dose from 225mgs to 75mgs- the side effects of reducing the doseage were awful... Light headed nests, blurred vision etc. However due to a family bereavement my doctor has increased the doseage again to 225mgs. I feel that the anxiety has alleviated but am still feeling tearful and unable to sleep. Since taking Effexor my motivation has disappeared and am gaining weight"


"Was given this after a severe panic attack at the local ER. 3 hours later the attack subsided. This medication has no beneficial panic attack relief."


"I take naproxen for jaw pain and it's really hit-or-miss. Sometimes it works like a charm, but other times it'll do absolutely nothing. It fails more often than it helps, though."


"I am 32 and have bad arthritis in my knee basicly bone on bone the Dr says, but I'm way to young for a knee replacement. The Dr recommended the the 4 Orthovisc injections every week for 4 weeks. Not going to lie, getting the shot itself was very uncomfortable. I have had 2 so far, and they have helped with pain but its getting the shots I don't like. They are helpful but expect to feel discomfort during and for the few hours after the shot my leg feels heavy till I " walk it out"."


"I began taking this due to ireggular cycles after my 3rd child and a tubal ligation. The first few months were good mood wise. Now that I'm pushing a year on it I am a total psycho. My anxiety is so far through the roof that I began taking Effexor and went as far as seeing a counselor. I am on edge ALL the time and have ridiculous anger outbursts. I can't stand myself most of the time. I can not speak for unwanted pregnancy as I have a BTL. My periods are still out of whack. I did regulate back to 28 day cycles but I spot old brown blood a few days, then bleed heavy and spot for the rest and thats on my active weeks. Its not normal!!!"


"Best ever. No other comes close to this cream, which works very quickly."


"A while ago, I was assured that Clinique could get rid of the problem areas on my cheeks if I were to use the 3 step system and the clinical dark spot corrector. The 3 step system worked for a while but, it never actually got rid of anything. It went from bad to worse in the last few months; cheeks completely exploded with red spots, whiteheads, small cysts and tiny pimples from wearing so much make up to try & cover up. Went to the docs, he gave me Epiduo. Been using it for under a week and my skin ALREADY looks 100% better. It's dry, yes, and turning slightly red, but even the pigmentation I've had for over a year is disappearing. I just moisturize in the morning now after washing my face and it seems to be less dry throughout the day, YAY."


"This birth control is AWFUL. My boobs hurt literally all of the time. My face is constantly breaking out and I'm gaining a lot of weight. (Could be hormonal but none of the other birth control I've been on have done this). My cramps are terrible and my period is light."


"My son has suffered with severe migraines since the age of 8 when he was diagnosed with seizures. For the better part of the next 9 yrs. I had to watch him suffer because we were told there was nothing to be done other than diet, etc. No one wants to see their child suffer! At last we found a wonderful doctor who first prescribed Midrin, which really helped, but then of course insurance didn't want to pay for it anymore and suggested Fioricet. 2 pills at the most and I have my happy son back!"


"I'm 18 years old and have been prescribed 74mg of concerta a day. 3 pills in the morning and one in the afternoon if needed. I had been diagnosed with serve ADHD and this drug has changed the way I learn and study dramatically. It's amazing how confident and
focused I am now. I always feel so good on it too, until I'm starving to death. Concerta absolutely kills your appetite. Sad part is I can not even force myself to eat and it has already taken a tole on my weight. I have always been insecure with my body so it is nice losing the extra pounds, however I don't enjoy talking to anyone
at school anymore. Even though I feel good all during the school day, I am quiet and hungry."


"I am allergic to Fosamax. My doctor gave me an Atelvia sample to try and I found I had no side effects from this medicine. I credit this to its time-release function."


"This treatment is the bomb after only 15 treatments I am now cancer free. There wasn't much hope for stage 4 non small cell lung cancer, I truly believe this treatment is a game changer. The only issue is it doesn't work for everybody but the more they research I'm sure they will find a way in the very near future. I have had absolutely no side effects, when I first started the treatment after being on chemotherapy for three months which in itself nearly killed me, my weight was 50 kilograms I now weigh in at a healthy 69 kilograms and have never felt better I will stay positive that it will keep the beast at bay. God bless :)."


"Iam 35 yrs old,&was addicied to pain killers for10yrs.When i heard about suboxone 3-31/2 yrs ago Ihave been taking 2 8mg ever since.I highly recomend it to anyone who's addicted to all pain pills.you dont hav to be on it as long as i have,but it sure feels good to be at a norm everyday, instead of a rollar coaster."


"I started Qsymia on 1/5/16 at the suggestion of my Dr.  I did take this drug about 3 yrs ago with good success also. I have lost 13 lbs in 10 days. I have had a bit of a headache and a bit of trouble staying asleep but not enough for this to be a problem. I am 49 yrs old, 5'2 weigh in at 206 when I started, so I am very happy with how this started out. She did start me off at the 7.5 dose this time with the discussion that if it was uncomfortable to give her a call and we would scale back."


"I've been on Benicar HCT for 10 or more years. Have tried Losartan and water pills, but never trusted them enough to stick with them. Always back to the Benicar, and now with my insurance costing $240.00 for 90 pills. My side effects have been slight and so far worth the benefit in reduction of B/P. Just read other reviews on this site. One mentioned a weird noise like Morse code in his head. I get that frequently and have only recently come up with a way to describe it, sorta like an arching sound. The Morse code description fits also. Other than that, I've had some slight dizziness & sinus drainage. Now I'm soon to try the Olmasartan HCT. Mostly because of the price. With my insurance the Olmasartan will cost $20.00 for the 90 pills."


"Helps anxiety symptoms that POTS (A form of Dysautonomia) causes. Someone else who reviewed Alprazolam said it helps to keep them sane with their Dysautonomia. I have to agree; it also helps to keep me sane. I'm on Xanax XR 2 mg once-a-day. Also helps insomnia caused by POTS with the adrenaline surges. Have combined Xanax XR with Tramadol and I can function a lot better now!"


"I have had a bad case of hemorrhoids for 6 months now and have tried everything otc, even a few trips to the ER! I finally was referred to a general surgeon who said while yes I have some hemorrhoids, I also have an anal fissure. He prescribed Proctofoam and so far so good! No pain, no bleeding! My insurance did not cover this and I had to pay $135, but it has been worth it! When I go back to the Dr in 10 days, I will update my review and rating!"


"My first colonoscopy is tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I have ulcerative colitis  but the doc thinks it may be Crohn's disease. So I got Moviprep, took the advice made it up night before and chilled, first litre was ok.. tough but I managed it. I had a bowel movement just before I started drinking the first litre so that probably helped as I didn't have much problems, it did what it was meant to and aside from a slightly sore behind I didn't think it was that bad. Then came the time for the second litre, tried sucking mints, adding peppermint, cider but only managed 1/4. It's horrible I gave up just water now so hopefully all will work out tomorrow. "


"I'm on Wellbutrin already and was recently put on Lamictal, it stabilized my moods a bit, but I stopped taking it due to the horrible insomnia and very vivid dreams.  Every time I went to bed and managed to sleep I woke up exhausted due to my brain consistently running through the night. I had to stop it, I was tired all the time because of the horrible insomnia."


"I used the botox injections to get rid of the 3 lines between my eyes so that I didn't look like I was scowling all the time. Within a few days I experienced headaches, nausea, and extreme weakness (requiring bed rest for 3 days). Within a couple of weeks, I had vertigo. I guess I will not be able to use botox again. Oh, by the way, a year earlier I had the same symptoms, but thought it was only the flu. It was only this year that I put two and two together. I took only 17.5 units between the eyes to cause this."


"I was under a lot of stress and anxiety from work and a difficult relationship. My doctor prescribed Brintellix for me. He gave me samples for 1 month. I have only been on Prozac briefly in the past for about 8 months many years ago. Only recently I have had symptoms of stress and anxiety. This medication seems to work for me. I had insomnia before I started taking it so it's not from the meds, but I feel so much better. Now I want to fill the prescription, but my insurance doesn't cover it and it costs $274.00. I simply cannot afford it, otherwise I would continue to use it. No side effects whatsoever, except for some bad dreams."


"Been using Finasteride for 9 months. Still get up every 2 hours at night to pee. No erection, sex is impossible. Penis looks like it is smaller and different shape.  Would not recommend this drug to anybody. Probably going to quit, there has to be something else other than this drug. No sex drive at all."


"I started Saphris after experiencing some episodes of violent anger as a result of mixed episodes of my bipolar disorder. There was an almost immediate lessening of symptoms, making me feel calmer right away. I have experienced almost no side effects from the medicine other than occasional sleepiness, but nothing debilitating. I had little or no weight gain, which made me very happy. It also has a lower incidence of causing cholesterol and blood sugar issues than many other AAPs. I find Saphris very helpful for both the immediate treatment of a breakthrough mixed/manic episode as well as for daily maintenance."


"I was prescribed this to treat acne, PMDD, and amenorrea, however it did nothing to treat any of those things.  Instead it made about 95% of face break out in cystic acne (you have seen proactive commercials), caused severe depression and panic attacks (I didn't have the motivation to do anything besides workout and then sit on the couch all day in sweat pants--often crying off and on), prevented me from getting a job ( I had just graduated with my Masters and obtained my RD license and I was so depressed with such cloudy thinking I could not portray myself in a way that would make someone want to hire me), and I had breakthrough bleeding every month during the second week of pills.  I will NEVER take BC pills again!"


"Took Cymbalta for close to a year for Fibro symptoms.  For the first couple months it seemed to be helping, and then it stopped.  I had worsening sleep difficulty, violent mood swings, and a variety of other side effects.  Even with all the Fibro symptoms, I feel better off the med than I ever felt on it.  It was also expensive."


"Pt 1. I had be constipated for 5 days. I wasn't too worried until I developed a large mass near my belly button, nausea, and overall malaise. First I tried a liquid suppository and it did not work, my gut bomb didn't move. I decided to take 3 dulcolax, but before reading any of these reviews. 3 hours after taking the pills my stomach cramps started. They didn't hurt too bad and I could visibly see the poop mass moving. 4 hours in I'm in agony, these are the worse cramps I've had in entire life. With each cramp I'm able to pass one small marble of stool. By 5.5 hours, I'm shaking, vomiting, cold sweating, and during heaves can now push out 2 small marbles at a time. I'm so dizzy and faint that I opt to lay on the bathroom floor."


"I have been on bontril 105 for two weeks today, and have already lost 10.3lbs. I also excersice 45 plus minutes everyday and follow the food pamplet the dr gave me. I do have a free day on Sunday though. I have not had any bad side effects or sleeping poblrms except the first two nights. I am planning to loose at least 40 more lbs and then get off the pills and continue exercising to help me keep it off."


"I was diagnosed with Pemphigus Vulgaris in 2009 after being misdiagnosed by a dentist who thought I had an absess. After seeing 4 dentists regarding lesions in my gums and mouth, the last dentist said I needed a biopsy done. He saved my life.  Because I was able to get the treatment that I needed with the proper diagnosis. Started me at 60 mg daily, then tapered down to 10mg after 5 years. The auto immune  disease went into remission in 2014 after utilizing prayer and positive meditation to help reduce any stress. The prednisone was very affective in treating the inflammation in my mouth. I drank aloe Vera juice to reduce the inflammation in my stomach area to help reduce stomach moon belly. I rarely  have flare up only when a stress event"


"I got Mirena inserted about a month ago. I have been bleeding since the insertion and it's really annoying. I've read some good and bad reviews. Mostly women complain about the bleeding and weight issues. Hopefully it works out for the best or else I'm taking this thing back out!"


"I've suffered from cold sore since I was a baby. I remember having 3 at once in middle school and a huge one my senior year. In my 20s, I started to get them 5 or more times per year. The pain was unbearable sometimes as they flared up and weeped. I finally asked my doctor if there was something I could do. She gave me a 90 day script for valtrex and it's been amazing. If I catch it in the tingle stage,  it barely forms. One time,  I've missed the tingle and a blister has started to form.. it was puffy the next day and then It was flat and not puffy the NEXT DAY! Never broke and weeped, but just gradually went away.

I recommend this a million times over."


"I have had awesome results with this drug, after going through a rough year being taken on & off of medications that almost ruined my life.  My Dr has been sending me to check my blood levels & they seem to keep going up.  I was taking 200 mg at night & he dropped it to 175mg.  It took 3 weeks to start feeling withdrawal & it was awful.  He then increased it back to 200 mg & my imipramine levels are higher then they have ever been.  I am scared he is going to reduce or try to put me on another drug.  Anyone ever had problems with blood levels of imipramine?"


"Okay, so the taste is disgusting. It tastes like grape ocean water. It took me about 10 minutes to get down the first dose. However, some people say it takes 1 to 2 hours to work... For me it took about 5 minutes. Felt a few rumbles, passed some gas, and then I had to go. Started going a lot for the first hour then it slowed down a lot. I was able to sleep all night. The second dose took me a lot longer to get down, however it worked almost instantly again. Going a lot for about an hour and then slowed down. I barely ate anything at all so I'm not sure if that's why it went right through me or not. Long story short, make sure you are by a bathroom as soon as you take it! I also added a splash of apple juice to it."


"38 years old. Take blood thinners as prevention of blood clots due to clotting disorder. I've experienced on again, off again dizziness and wooziness during the day.  Will need to talk with my doctor about this."


"I received this medication as a free sample via U.S. Mail.  It cleared my sinuses for 24 hours but I was also bolt awake for 24 hours, like I was on some kind of stimulant.  I would take it in severe sinusitis attacks, but not for routine allergy treatment.  It also dried my sinuses out so badly that I was afraid I'd get a nosebleed for days afterwards."


"I have been on Otezla for about 18 months and am very satisfied.  The only side effect has been the loose stool that most people have experienced.  Prior to taking this medication I was getting 12 to 15 shots per month on my scalp and all over my legs directly into the outbreaks. Additionally was using prescribed creams, lotions and shampoo.   My scalp was so bad that the psoriasis covered a patch of skin cancer that was probably growing for over a year. It was detected as I insisted on a biopsy of the area because that one area was not responding to treatment.  Except for one or two small patches my skin is free and clear.  Insurance is a problem, however, these is a prescription assistance program available and you can be reimbursed."


"I started in January so it’s been been about 10 months on aviane.  I didn’t feel any side effects or change for at least 6 months but then I started to get mood swings. I’ll be happy sad and angry at the same time. Crazy. I started to have left pelvic pain a lot and lower back pain sometimes leg pain. Not sure if it’s from the pill but I really don’t do anything. When I started taking prenatal vitamin gummies just because I had them it made me feel a little sick. So I stopped taking the gummies and I’m ok but I had a pap prior to pills and everything was clear except I found out I had chlamydia and treated me. No cyst. Doc said pills could prevent cysts too . I will get my pap in a few months and see if they can resolve this issue."


"I used Lamisil for 3 months and it cleared up my big toe perfectly...........Now my other foot has it on its big toe so Yes You betcha I am going on another 3 month dose.  It really works."


"I have been on Xanax for well over 6 years. I informed my Doctor that my anxiety has been out of control and I didn't know what to do. I was not at all depressed. (Just TONS of stress) I work over time at a HIGHLY stressful job and I am a caregiver to my 32 old husband that just recently became disabled last year.
The Doctor sent me home with a 30 day sample and asked me to try it out.  I was VERY hesitant. I came on here and read the reviews a few days later, I decided to TRY it.
I am on week 2...only complaint is that I am constantly thirsty, hot and not hungry. Stress less and in a better mood over all. Very Pleased!"


"it works very well, it's a good friend. I have 55 attempted suicides, 3 times in one month & came very close to death , sober for 45 days so far good results"


"I have had terrible acne come up on my back, as well as weight gain. Probably close to 30 pounds since getting this in December of 2014. No period since, and I am always hungry. I originally got it for period pains and I have had no cramping since."


"Does not last a full 12 hours. Pain comes back about 7 to 8 hours after taking Nucynta ER."


"Well my expeirence so far has been really bad, I have had excessive weight gain, Acne breakouts here and their not too bad though, Ive had no period for a long time but now im somewhat bleeding and its not even heavy,  The bad thing is im getting really bad ovary cramps,  I feel very bad with mood swings their driving me crazy and im eating like im pregnant.  I have pregnancy symptoms without being pregnant -.-... I dont know i wouldnt recommend this for anyone but i half to suffer on it for like 2-3 more months."


"A person has to decide if it is worth the less serious side affects of nausea and headache and I have to say that it is. It is brief and therefore, I feel that the alternative is much worse. It has only been a full week and I am hoping these less serious side affects will subside eventually when I get used to taking it on a regular basis."


"I was diagnosed with RA 20 years ago. Never had any serious issues that I could not easily live with until one year ago February. Had a severe flare  in shoulders, hands, wrists and other areas. I was put in methotrexate, sulfasalazine and prednisone  and plaquinel. Also had several steroid injections. I also needed to take Aleve on a regular basis. I started Enbrel 5 weeks ago. Remarkable results. Haven't taken an Aleve since. I have stopped methotrexate which was giving me a chronic cough. I feel much better."


"I am surprised no one has complained about the terrible headache side effects. For the past six months, I have taken indomethacin on 5 different occasions when I feel a severe gout attack coming.  I would start with 100mg 3x a day for the first two days, followed by 50mg 3x a day for 8 days after. It always worked and prevented a full-blown gout attack.  However, I always got a headache while taking this medicine (supposedly a very common side effect).  Most recently, however, I experienced a headache so severe that I had to leave work.  I thought it was the intra-dose withdrawal headache that I normally got from this medication, so I took another pill hoping I would feel better, Immediately I vomited. "


"I've been using Restasis as prescribed by my Opthamologist for 18 months. I have experienced no relief. I have the same symptoms after 18 months of use."


"I had a needle stick injury at work.  I'm really having a bad experience with this product my eyes are itching and the my vision is affected. My nose is always blocked and I'm constantly tired. My chest is tight I'm having difficulty in breathing at time's. I wish I could just stop the treatment as I'm emotionally massed up. My hay fever is so worse. It's really not going good for me. I wish there was another tablet I can take."


"I'm 23. I always had small mostly unnoticeable blemishes. Just before my 21 birthday I got pregnant. So my hormones must have changed. I started getting larger pimples with redness, and the breakouts seemed to itch. I went to the dermatologist and she put on a regimen that includes Aczone 2x a day, along with Differin gel after at night, and ampicillin 2x a day, and I wash my face with Cerva. Though I'm in the "worse before better" stage I have to say I like the Aczone. I have extremely sensitive skin and I have tried many things that result in dryness, redness, peeling and burning. With Aczone I don't get anything like that. There's a slight itch that lasts for about a minute. Just remember only a pea size amount. Cerva lotion is good at night."


"My first anti-depressant/anxiety. Removed any anxiety 95 times out of 100 but at the cost of no emotions within your daily life, basically a rock."


"This med works great I had a lot of anxiety and hard time dealing with work, kids and my wife. I am totally in control now and can deal with a lot more issues at once...great results"


"Have been on the shot for 2 year's now it helped me recover from alcohol but I also found it helps my major anxiety and sleep I don't think they have done enough studies on it to see what else it can help whit"


"I LOVEEE epiduo!!!!!! I was covered with acne on my face and my dermatologist recommended it. After two or three months I was clear. Within the first week I saw improvement! It did leave my face a bit dry - nothing that moisturizer couldn't fix though. After about a year of using epiduo, I am proud to say that I am proud to go out without any makeup.
(cons - NOTHING!!!)"


"I have intense pain along bottom of ribs and this is the second round of Carafate. It has not helped at all. Still in pain. No side effects from taking it though."


"I've been on lithium for a long time for bipolar 1. Use as part of combination therapy since I can't tolerate doses over 600 mg/day (start shaking, skin numbness). Works very well for treating manic side of things, racing thoughts."


"Takes 6-8 weeks to work but it works better than anything I've tried. I've had anxiety for years and have tried a long list of meds."


"Tysabri has been a life send for me. I have been on it since 2009 and its now 2015. Was dignosed in 2004. We can count back now to where my symptoms were started when I was in 1st grade, so it has taken me a long time to get it under control, been thru lots if not all of the medications nothing worked but tysabri. My lesions on my brain are beginning to shrink."


"I am on day 3 of this pill and I felt awful the whole time. I constantly feel like I'm going to throw up after I take it which makes it difficult for me to sleep. I already have some anxiety but this birth control is making it to where I can't sleep and once I do sleep I can't stay asleep. I just lay in bed feeling hot, nauseous, and like I'm going to die. My anxiety is just getting so bad I will probably stop taking this medication."


"Hi everyone! I've been on Reclipsen for over a year now and I didn't think it was that bad. I thought I had finally found my birth control but now I have changed. I loved this pill because it really controlled my periods and cramps. I had little cramps and lighter periods, but my period wouldn't start until 3 days after taking the sugar pills. I've been reading other comments about headaches and I can agree that I have had headaches every other night but they weren't bad. I could still fall asleep. I am changing to a different pill because I didn't like how I gained weight on this pill. I gained 10 pounds at least, and I've been getting heavier. It's really hard to lose the weight on this pill also. time for a change!"


"I just started using this medication for my Raynaud's flare-ups which made me extremely cold, especially at night. Procardia XL has been great for improving the circulation in my hands and feet and has kept me warm. My only complaint about the medication is the tension headaches I have been getting since starting the medication and facial flushing. Both are easy to deal with though."


"I became addicted to Opiates when I started having chronic pain.  I would do anything to get my pills for the day. I lost everything because of my addiction. No way did I believe there was anything out there that could not only help me while I was going through withdrawal, but also keep the cravings way when I was recovering. Suboxone and my Suboxone Dr. have saved my life. Not only do they help with cravings, but they also help my ongoing pain. I need to use the Suboxone pills rather than the film as I have dental problems and the films hurt my gums, but other than that I have had no side effects and I continue to use them today. I am 5 years sober."


"I have been using Strattera for about 10 months and had great success for the first 9.  I felt great, very focused and able to get things done, and had no negative side effects except for a little bit of dry mouth for the first couple of weeks.  About a month ago I experienced a bout of depression until my doctor switched my prescription from 1 80mg pill a day to 2 40mg pills each day (once in the morning and once in the evening).  After the switch, I was back to feeling great until last week when I had another bout of depression.  This morning I took 5mg of Ritalin and snapped right out of my depressed mood.  My doctor has suggested stopping Strattera and using Ritalin instead to try to determine if Strattera is the cause."


"I've been taking Lexapro (10mg) for about a week for general anxiety and mild depression. It's taken the edge off already, particularly on the anxiety side. I am more productive at work and more open socially, without even noticing until afterwards.

Side-effects have been mild: physical jitteriness, a lone bout of diarrhea and an odd sensation in my skin. I can best describe that as feeling like being in a hot, dry climate but without the sensation of heat - tight and tingling. No sexual side-effects so far.

I was on Zoloft a few years ago for more debilitating depression and the side effects with that were much worse, so I feel very positive at this point."


"The pill gives you a lot of energy, pill makes your heart beat fast for the first hour , is a great appetite suppressant ."


"I've been on Tri Sprintec for some time now. I like it but I have gained weight and just cannot seem to lose it. Think I'm going to try NuvaRing."


"I have had on and off insomnia since I was a teenager. For almost 10 years I took an OTC sleeping pill and it worked fine. Last winter, I suddenly could not fall asleep with anything I took. I tried everything possible but I wouldn't fall asleep until 2 or 3 am. I would go into work feeling like I was hit by a truck. I spoke to my doctor, and she said that I might be suffering from depression which is why I wasn't sleeping. Tried trazadone but it never helped me sleep. I would have severe dry mouth, wouldn't fall asleep most nights and it caused me to have weird side effects. I went back to the doctor and she gave me 5 mg Ambien. It has helped me tremendously. I do not have the side effects people talk about."
