"I just started with Opana ER 5mg every 12 hours. The first time I used it, it did help with the pain, not much but a little. Then after a few days, I started suffering from some of the side effects. Anxiety attacks that verged on the near panic attack stage, difficulty breathing, and a few others. I told my doctor that I have heart problems, asthma, and a history of seizures, but he decided that he would give it to me anyway.  I am glad that Opana ER works for some, but it is not the one for me."


"I suffered chronic pain for years.
Every opiate I took caused me to abuse them. Until I found methadone for my pain. I take 20-30 mg daily with meloxicam and eat very well and I am able to work, function and live life like a normal human being.
I believe doctors don't like to write this medicine for pain because it is not as costly as the others and also they don't receive kickback from prescribing a 20 dollar a month medication. It costs 20 bucks for 120 pills and for perc 10s it cost 200- 300.
Just sad how the government and some doctors will work."


"I was prescribed Arthrotec 8 months ago for a bulging L5S1 disc that was causing me excruciating sciatica pain.  At the time, the Arthrotec did nothing for the pain which led to me getting 2 epidural steroid injections.  Those two did not work, and I haven't been taking any medicine and instead working on controlling my stress levels which seems to have helped.  In the past 2 weeks, the sciatica has flared up really bad to the point that I can't sit or stand for any length of time.  In desperation I took the Arthrotec to see if it would knock down the pain and BOOM- I seriously felt like a new person.  I don't know why this didn't work for me the first time, but now it is working perfectly. It's a miracle in my mind."


"I will start by saying that I suffer from major depression. I have tried just about everything in the book and was starting to just about feel like giving up hope (on medications that is!) and was completely exhausted. My doctor just recently, put me on Pristiq and almost immediately I noticed a difference and have had no side effects what so ever. I have been excited about life and happy to get out of bed everyday now. It has been a drastic change and I am so thankful. I'm not sure how this medicine might take to others, but for me it has worked wonders. "


"Every winter I get terrible Bronchitis. Usually am constantly coughing, use a nebulizer, use inhaler, this all last literally until spring! Coughing for months. This time caught it early. Took shots and Levaquin for ten days. Felt like total crude for the whole time BUT it worked. First time it all left without those months of cough, cough, coughing solid back to back. Can't tell you what a relief it was. SO take it!! Despite side affects unless it's too serious you'll be glad you did!!"


"My #'s are higher on Farxiga than I've ever had ask doctor to add Metformi 500mg×2 a day, it brings my range back to what I was used to on JanumetXR.I hurt in my left arm, vaginal infection,since being on Farxiga 8 wks., I want a Specialist after my next Doc., appt."


"I was put on Complera when my viral load hit 0. I have been on it 5 months. I get my labs done next week. I previously had been on 8 pills a day which caused awful nightmares. I was diagnosed HIV positive when I was 8 months pregnant, which was devastating, but miraculously within that short time until I delivered my baby my viral load went from 264 to 62. My daughter is HIV free. I guess the only downfall to Complera is taking with 400 calories. Time will tell. I also experience pain at times and insomnia."


"I have been taking ambien or zolphidem for almost 15 years. I had horrible insomnia where I couldn't sleep sometimes at all during the night. The insomnia went on for about 2 years before I tried ambien. it worked immediately.  I don't take it every night and when I do I break off a third of the pill. The only side effect is sometimes grogginess in the morning. I worry about a little memory loss. I was told it disrupts your REM sleep which can affect memory. Trying to get off completely but don't want to go through that horrible insomnia again."


"My doc gave me this to try for my low back pain.  I could barely open the package and the thing didn't stick in my mouth.  Awful experience and it made me nauseous.  When I called the company, they didn't listen.  Going back to try something the works."


"I developed serotonin sickness syndrome on this medicine.  It's a rare occurrence, but if you're in that "rare" subset it's bad."


"I had great experiences with klopin and Xanax managing my symptoms, but my doctor decided that he needed to reduce down on these scripts so he put me on Buspar and it's completely useless. So sad and extremely frustrating that doctors always seem to take you off of what works because it can be addictive. Well maybe that's because it actually works and isn't that the point of taking a medication for an ailment? I worry if I change doctors I'll appear to be a "pill seeker" or some bad news person. Really sad that because some abuse it, those who need it must suffer to. Sorry for the vent, but my point is that sadly Buspar 3 times a day and 20mg each dose does nothing for me."


"I took it for a week. The first time I took it, I fell asleep. But it helps me with focus and thinking clearly. Still, I would go on the Adderall because it lasted longer in my system and I wasn't so sleepy."


"Was diagnosed with pneumonia 3 days ago had severe cough, diarrhea, and a fever of 102.  Was put on levofloxacin 500mg for 7 days started with a round of IV  antibiotics at the hospital the next day I was finally able to get out of bed, my cough was nearly gone and fever has subsided.  I did have a few negative side effects.  Insomnia, once I did fall asleep I woke up drenched in sweat, and just an overall dull feeling."


"This medicine does wonders.  I am a 27 year old male who suffered from severe cyclical depression.

This drug, (also known as fluoxetine when I get it cheaper), did wonders for my outlook and disposition of the world.  It feels as if a solid barrier has been thrown up in my mind against things which would otherwise stress me out or cause depression.  It also has a profound stabilizing effect in general on mood, thoughts, and feelings.

I am deeply thankful for this drug.  I would suggest trying it if you are reading this and suffer from these conditions."


"I get really bad pains when my period is going to start. My doctor told me to try taking Prilosec for the pain, which I happened to have because of a previous ulcer. I find that Prilosec OTC is the only thing that gives me almost immediate relief. I hope this can help others struggling with this type of pain."


"I have been on this pill for 5 months now. This is my very first type of birth control pill, so I really don't have anything to compare it to, but so far so good. I take it at night time (10 pm) and have never had any major issues. Before starting the pill I read a lot of horrible reviews and it scared me a bit, but I decided to try it for myself and I'm glad I did. The only negative thing I have to say is that my period lasts much longer. Before getting on the pill, my periods lasted 3-4 days. Now, I noticed they are very light, but lasts 10-12 days. But I will give it more time so see if this changes."


"I have been using Androgel 1% for ten days (only). I feel much better already. Feeling better everyday. My T-levels were 88. I am 49 years old. Don't know what my levels are now, but I certainly feel good changes. Energy, sleep, erections, mental alertness: All better..

I go back to doctor next month. I will fill you in."


"I was hospitalized with diverticulitis for 5 days, previously I was treated with Levaquin and another antibiotic, not sure of the name.  After having an allergic reaction to Levaquin, I was given Flagyl. Immediately, I started having watery diarrhea  which made me weak, I could not eat or smell anything without nausea.  I told my doctor but he kept it up.  After a day on intravenous Flagyl, I was throwing up green and diarrhea was also green.  I could not leave the room because I could not get any distance from the toilet. Still they continued to pump the Flagyl in and I got sicker and sicker.  Finally, I begged my doctor to let me go home because the diverticulitis was gone because I had taken 10 days of Cipro  before being admitted."


"I am using Mobic for a rotator cuff strain and myofacial pain in my shoulder stabilizers.  It works great for that.  I made the mistake of using it without food and it has made me very sick.  Dizziness and nausea.  I also found I have to take it at night because it makes me very drowsy."


"Had to switch to Trulicity when Ins. wouldn't cover Bydureon. T. shot is much easier to use. Lost a few lbs due to nausea. I have stomach pains, gas, constipation, headches bloating & full feeling. My body just aches. I take water aerobics 4 nights a week. Consider myself very active & this has slowed me down in class. Am more tired & really dread having to mow the yard. I did lose about 8-10 lbs. It didn't stop me from wanting sweets or eating. I have been able to back off Novolog completely & cut my Levemir down 10 unit. I take Metformin & Glimperide. My a1c down to 5.9. Had extremely low readings (40's-60's) & dr wants me to bring numbers up now! I will continue to use because it works for sugar but it is rough on the rest of me."


"This product works so good . felt a tingle early that morning cryed was depressed applies this for the first time five times a day the next day I'm usually use to huge oozing clusters all on my chin but I was amazed no Of that. It is now day 3 and it's completely gone ."


"My migraines started on April 2 2016, I have had a constant headache since then, with the 13 migraines, after a CT scan in my neck, I have a long which needs to be removed, which could be the root cause for this ongoing headache however finally I was prescribed maxalt today after almost 4 months of suffering headaches and migraines,and taking other pain relief, icing it, quiet rooms, limiting bright light stimulation ,msiisng out on family and friend events and I cannot believe the difference it's made. I don't like taking medications, I try to do things naturally, think this really really helped, and I have so much relief.

Kudos to the angel who told me about it from Medicare, while we were trying to sort out my card going missing"


"I was given two (months) free samples of this medication to regulate my extremely heavy & long (month and a half) cycle. I have only been taking it for 3 days and immediately nausea, headaches, and mood swings have hit me hard! BUT after two days of taking the pill my period stopped. It is chewable and I was afraid of that but it has a really nice minty flavor. Hopefully after about two weeks or so the side effects will subside."


"This drug is fine for me. It makes me feel foggy, tired and just out of sorts for a few hours but i can still function. The headaches are the worst part. I'm on day 4 so I'm sticking it out!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Drink alot in the hours before. I drank coconut water (vita coco) and plain water. Refrigerate the 2 bottles. Slice a fresh lemon. When its time mix cold water with prep to line on cup. I couldnt find a wide straw so I used three straws and drank 1/4 bit a lemon and went right in for the next repeated til prep was done. Lemon helped in removing taste of med. When finished grabbed my 32 oz of bottled water and stsrted drinking and Walked around the house while doing so. 6minutes after the water it was doing its job I drank a gatorade while in process to combat dehydration. Lasted about 3 hours. Morning dose did the same. Suprep does what its suppose to. ... Make the bathroom comfy you will not want to leave it while doing this..."


"I have had the Implanon since September 2013. So for almost 7 months. First I had Depo. Great. I never bled once. But I couldn't lose weight. I gained 20 lbs. Then I went to pill to try to lose weight. My period was TERRIBLE. So I switched to Implanon. I gave it a 6 because overall it is really good. Haven't got pregnant or lost sex drive. Was able to lose the weight but here in the last two months maybe a little more, I've bled non-stop. Its very light but so annoying. Getting it removed asap."


"I have been taking Wellbutrin for 6 months. It has changed my life. I have suffered with depression my whole life (I am 41) and only finally got help after being admitted to a psychiatric facility. The first two weeks on Wellbutrin were horrible. I had severe anxiety and gastrointestinal issues. I ate broth and crackers for a week! But every single side effect was gone in about 3 weeks. I sure know it doesnt work for everyone, but it certainly has for me. I know it can be scarey to try new medication, but give it a go; it might be the one for you."


"I had a root canal and something went very wrong. The procedure, for those not familiar is an infection at the very base of a tooth. I had swelling, intense pain in half my lower jaw along with numbness. This medicine worked well for the pain with minimal side effects, although I was very cautious driving and stopped medicines when going on major highways.  "


"I had Implanon inserted July 09. I bled for the first month nonstop. My doctor prescribed estrogen pills and after a day or two my period stopped completely. I loved not having a period however I began to experience mood swings, since August 09. I am never in the mood for sex (my poor husband is suffering), I have dry scalp and my other part is always dry too. Lately I have been feeling terribly depressed (probably from the lack of sex).  I had it removed today and I am hoping these side effects go away immediately. I did not write this to discourage those who may want to try this birth control. This may not happen to you. But for those who use Implanon and are experiencing some of these symptoms just know that you are not crazy, get it removed."


"So I've had my IUD for almost 2 months I had cramping for a month. It got to the point that I couldn't move and that I had to take 4 pills of 200 mgs ibuprofen and 2 pills of 500mgs of tylonol all at the same time as well as use a heating pad. I don't recommend this for any one. It is painful. And to add on to it I can't feel my strings at all as well as have cramping now going in to have it removed. Lets hope this IUD didn't puncture my uterus."


"Been itching for days and I couldn't take it no more so I went to the store and got Monistat 7. Within seconds I felt a mild burning..no biggie right..I ran to my bed to lay down. Within minutes..my coochie was on fire. I laid there for a good 10 minutes and couldn't take it anymore. I ran to the bathroom and showered my coochie with water for a good 5 minutes. Never again will I use this product. I ended up using organic coconut oil and got relieved from all this itching and burning. I'm returning this product tomorrow."


"I was diagnosed in 2010. Tried Copaxone & Avonex. They caused allergic reactions. Started Tysabri in March 2012. I haven't had any new lesions. I get tired and bad headaches after infusions. The cost is getting to be to much, even with my insurance from my employer & the assistance program from Tysabri. "


"My tummy has been bloated to the point that I have the same appearance as I did when I was 22-23 weeks pregnant. Also, I have had persistent gas (which is very uncommon for me). I am wondering if the side effects will subside because I am happy with the birth control quality/convenience of the Mirena and the lower amount of hormones released."


"My 11 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive in August 2010 and we tried Concerta 36mg and it did nothing. The pediatrician prescribed Vyvanse 40mg to start, and what a difference! My son can now listen, focus, pay attention, concentrate at home and at school and can better manage his behaviors, thoughts and words. We are very happy with the results. He didn't lose appetite or weight, and has no side effects thus far. We are more than happy to have found a prescription that works for him so that he can function normally on a day to day basis."


"I love this medicine, would give it a 10 but it is always an ordeal to get it. I tried the genetic and it did not control my seizures as well. Super expensive but worth it. I can work, have a family and go outside during the day."


"Have been taking 10mg for years on a semi regular basis. Only when I need a good sleep or if I slept poorly for a couple days. Don't notice the anti histamine effect, but do sleep well and rested.

If nervous system is too aroused it doesn't always work. But for me, its good. Not much side effect apart from slight drowsiness but very short term on waking."


"I used the guaifenesin protocol for about a year, and completely reversed all fibro symptoms.  My fibro symptoms occurred very rapidly, and I noticed that the change seemed to occur about the time I began applying those wonderfully scented lotions/potions to my skin nightly from places like Bath and Beauty, etc.   I started researching and began the protocol after reading the book. I was completely better within a year, I would guess.  I have stopped using Guaifenesin for 3-4 years now and have no recurring problems.  I think I swamped my system so fast with salicilate products, and all those ingredients on the "do not use" list, that it was easy for me to quickly remove them from the lumps I had mapped by a specialist."


"Worst experience I’ve ever had on meds. The first 3 days of taking it I was a complete zombie. No exaggeration, I did not talk for an entire weekend. It basically just turned my brain off. I had no interest in saying or doing anything. Once that wore off, the worse side effects trickled in. I started feeling weak and tingling everywhere. This got worse to the point where my husband and I had to walk out of a restaurant because of the symptoms. the tingling got so bad that I thought I was either having a stroke or entering Paralysis. Stopped the meds and all symptoms went away almost instantly. It did help my migraines but frankly I’m used to dealing/managing/living with those so I’d rather have them than than these awful side effects!"


"I got implanon on Christmas Eve 2012 and I'm making an appointment to have it removed- it's now March 2014.  At first, I had periods for several weeks.  Then, later I would spot here and there. I believe after a good 6 months being on it I haven't had a period, spotting, nothing.  So that part is fantastic. Not pregnant. Another plus.

Bad parts?
I have easily gained about 5-10 lbs and I can't seem to shed them no matter what I do.  About 2-3 months after Implanon I developed seborrhoeic dermatitis around the crown of my hairline.  I've tried everything and it will not go away (i.e.- cradle cap for adults basically). It's bad, like really bad. I've read reviews/side effects and it's named as one.  Ugh."


"I wish I had know about amitriptyline 25 years ago.   After 20  years of taking Midrin, then Maxalt, then Imitrex, I finally found a preventative that has reduced my migraines by 95%. I took propranolol for two years, but it didn't reduce the frequency or severity of my migraines at all.   I strongly recommend that every migraine sufferer try this preventative. After much reading, I discovered that I have a serotonin deficiency.  Amitriptyline works to keep serotonin levels elevated which is the root cause of migraines for many folks.  If you have tried this medicine before, try it again and try a different dosage.   Amitriptyline at 25 mg only reduced my migraines by 10%.   50 mg per day has reduced them by 95%."


"Outstanding!"


"Honestly, it didn't noticeably work for my back and pelvic pain at first when i took the recommended 10mg dosage.  So instead of taking 10 mg, I took twenty. If you do that, it works enough to make muscle pain tolerable. I wouldn't recommend taking more than 2-2.5 of the 10mg pills unless you want to sleep though. However. You will get the best sleep possible! If you take more than 10mgs, and taking tylenol in between doses. For extreme pain and discomfort."


"I began Contrave in August and I have lost 35 lbs!! My starting weight was 200 and I am currently 167. I have had minimal side effects but when I increased to four daily I did have a reaction. Simply going back to three solved the problem. I would certainly recommend this pill for anyone that needs a safe way to lose weight."


"I have suffered from depression for about 30 years.. crippling depression with anxiety since 1992.  I am 62.  I have taken nearly every antidepressant and none really worked.  I read this forum about four months ago and decided to order 5-MTHF,10 mg.  After about three weeks, I realized I was coming up from the deep depression.  I was taking 20 mg of Lexapro and cut that down to 10 mg a day.  I am excited that this might be what I need but will wait a while before foregoing with the Lexapro because I'm not ready to enter that deep depression if this doesn't work by itself.  I am so excited even if I do have to continue the Lexapro.  To feel like getting out of bed, doing normal things and feeling good is great.  I will post updates."


"Pataday seemed to do the trick for a few weeks, but after a month or so, I developed conjunctivitis.  I thought perhaps I was sick and continued using the eye drops, but over time, my conjunctivitis worsened."


"Just started taking the first pack. I noticed that I was having mood swings the first week, it made my period last for about 2 weeks but I know my body's still adjusting. I've had breast tenderness and I feel like they've honestly gotten bigger in the past 3 weeks. I'm always hungry and my sex drive is through the roof."

"My experience is a little more indirect. My boyfriend began taking this medication about 3 weeks ago and it has drastically changed our lives. Within the first week his mood became much much better and his anxiety took a huge dive! I can't even put into words how this medicine has changed our lives. He's always been a good man but I could tell that he was lost in a cloud of depression from almost the minute I met him. His depression wasn't what you would typically think of but I could tell something was off inside of him but this medicine has given him a revived passion for all things and he is absolutely pleasant and wonderful to be around. He did have some insomnia in the beginning and gets sick if he takes too much (more than 20mg)."


"I had a severe allergic reaction to poison ivy. Both arms, from my wrist to my elbow, were covered in hives. I had to run to the sink every 10 minutes because it felt like arms were on fire and the worst itch imaginable. I was averaging 1 to 2 hours of sleep a night for weeks. Prednisone saved me, literally. I was going crazy from the intense burning feeling, severe itching and no sleep. I am on my 4th round of prednisone, since most doctors prescribe way too low a dose for this severe of a reaction. Finally find the right doctor who gave me the correct dosage. I can finally get some sleep and my arms are not on fire. If it was not for this medication I think I would be in the loony bin somewhere scratching the skin off my arms."


"I have been suffering horrible chronic pain for the past 15 years, (after being struck by lightning).  If only the doctors had tried this before, it could have saved me numerous hours of horrific pain with seemingly no end in sight. This is the best I've felt in years. Now I can start weaning myself off of the hard narcotics I hope. I would recommend this medication for any one that is suffering from severe neuropathy. What a major difference."


"My daughter (6 yrs old) began on Focalin (10 MG) a month ago.  We noticed she suffered from no ill side effects; rather she became more "in tune" with others feelings and emotions, slept even more soundly at night, and did not have a loss of appetite. Unfortunately, it did not stay in her system long enough to get her through school and homework so her Doctor adjusted her dose (20 MG). Now she is loving it!  For the first time, she is receiving high marks on her behavior at school, is able to communicate better with her friends, and (in her words) "stay focused and in control". The beauty of this, it leaves her system after about 10 hrs (she takes it at 7 am) and we are able to practice behavior modification procedures at home with her."


"My age is upper 80s. My urologist prescribed Cialis 5 mg daily about 18 months ago. Amazing medicine. I still have erectile dysfunction and benign prostate hyperplasia but both have improved more with Cialis than Flomax and Proscar. Bathroom trips once per night usually. My penis stays somewhat engorged 24/7 and I am in a constant state of arousal and "sexual awareness". I don't get hard enough for penetration but my penis extremely sensitive."


"Please be very careful with this medication. I've had insomnia since 1995. I've taken every sleeping pill at least once. None have worked except for AmbienCR.

Earlier this year my trusted AmbienCR stopped working. My doctor gave me a coupon for the free trial. I was excited and had high hopes for a night of sleep.

I took one 10 mg dosage of Belsomra and went to bed. Nothing happened for about 3 hours. I fell into a strange wake/sleep condition. I began to have have nightmares and visions. It was the worst feeling. I felt frozen and scared. This lasted for about 2 hours.

I woke up and took a video of myself. I didn't think I was going to make it and I wanted to document what I experienced. This drug is dangerous. Watch out."


"The doctor gave me terconazole 0.8%for BV. I didn't feel comfortable taking it, but he swore it was safe to take. I have had so much swelling and excruciating cramp like pains for 6 days now. I've been bed ridden for 3 of those days.  Nurse said it was a side effect of the med. I knew I shouldv'e followed my first mind. The nurse told me not to take anymore, I'm like of course not, didn't need you to tell me that. Now this pain has jumped from my left side to my right side.
I forgot to add, I'm 9weeks with child.  Although the med says not recommended use for expectant mothers before 3months, but goodness, this pain is like no other!!!
Mother Earth has the best healing. I will seek this route and keep you posted."


"It helped."


"I had been on Ortho-Cyclen for 5 years and had no problems with mood swings. I switched to Lutera after I had my daughter because for some reason my periods were becoming irregular. Since I have been taking Lutera I have been an emotional wreck. I can't deal with normal life situations. I can't make a simple decision like what I'm going to have for dinner because I break down crying from the pressure. My poor fiance has been having to deal with it all. I am switching to another pill."


"This medicine worked too well for me,  my dentist prescribed it due to a root canal, now I feel dizzy, nauseous, very sleepy. Pain is completely gone, but this worked way too well."


"Saphris works extremely well for me to suppress my mania. As for the bad taste, it is possible to get the tablets in black cherry flavor."


"Severe back pain and also in neck, shoulders and arms started after being on Abatacept for about 3 months. More muscular pain than bone pain. Looking to come off it as its becoming problematic. I've been on 4 other biologic medicines and this was the most effective in getting flare ups under control."


"Taking Bactrim for urinary tract infection, can't sleep, stomach on fire, after first pill I felt like I was tripping on acid. On day three now and back hurts. Looks like I get to miss another day of work and go back to doctor."


"I have just been on Microgenstin Fe 1/20 for a month now. No period yet, which made me nervous until reading some these reviews. I was on Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 and wanted something with less estrogen. I have lost five pounds, no mood swings and I'm loving it. Only thing is night sweats and more emotional at times."


"I'm 19 years old and have never had children. I got Kyleena Wednesday! The insertion wasn't as painful as I expected! I took 800mg of Tylenol before. The most painful part was when the physician pinched my cervix to place the IUD in. Then it just felt like a large cramp. Nothing I couldn't handle. I was pretty crampy for the rest of the day. But the next day I was completely fine! I have had some cramping since insertion! Saturday I hurt pretty bad and had hot flashes. But that is normal. My body is just getting use to having an IUD! I have been experiencing brown discharge but that it also expected for the first 3-6 months! All in all, my experience isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm so happy to have gotten Kyleena!"


"I've only  been on this medicine for 3 weeks but it's already doing wonders. I still have "the thoughts" but they don't "take root" like they normally do. They come and go throughout the day rather than being ALL I can think about. My Dr is slowly upping my dose to 100mg, and I'm currently on 75mg and already seeing benefits. It takes a few weeks to REALLY start working so if you are on week 1 or 2 give it some time. It's been amazing at helping me fight my compulsions. It makes me really believe OCD is a MEDICAL issue. The morning is still the worst for me, when all my thoughts first hit me, but since I've started this drug, I can make it through the day so, so much easier."


"I have ongoing difficulties with reactions to many foods..constant stomach aches, bloating, constipation, cramps, diarrhea, frequent bowel movements...this med has created more of the above and gives me a headache.  I really have no idea if I should stick with it for the 4 - 6 weeks to see if the lining of my gut will heal? I'm desperate and disgusted with my condition, and the lack of response to this "medicinal food"."


"The problem was sleep deprivation and my physician suggested Atarax and explained that sleeping is when the body restores itself making it vitally important to get a good night of sleep. I take one pill in the evening and sleep soundly and for now this is the right solution."


"I've been diagnosed with moderate depression in December. I've been in therapy with a psychologist since October. I lost my job, didn't go to school, broke up with my boyfriend, I was pretty much a mess. I had no motivation whatsoever. I basically secluded myself. I started Celexa 3 weeks ago and WOW oh WOW. I feel so happy. People noticed that I've changed and seriously the first week on Celexa was hard but it's so worth it. Stick with it, give it a chance. The only problem I have with Celexa is that it takes me forever to achieve orgasm but whatever I still have a sex drive which is very good. I got my boyfriend back, yay. Now I'm back to school, found a new job. I mean I got my life back on track and I am so happy with the results."


"Nausea... Headaches... Sticks in my throat...and sours in my stomach

Cramps with joint pains

Carpel tunnel from my shoulders down my arms.

Cramps on my chest, hands,arms, legs and feet

I started taking it because I was hurting from osteoporosis

Now I am hurting from taking this drug.

Vitamins D and calcium would have been the answer, but Dr.s get paid to push this medication on their patients."


"My husband got this for me since I haven't been pooping that well lately. He told me it was better than any others, because you don't get stomach cramps. WRONG. I took 2 a couple of hours ago, and now, my stomach is in the worst pain ever. Thankfully, I have had a BM, but I don't think I will ever take Dulcolax again because of the severe pain."


"Fatigue
Joint Pain
Depression
Loss of libido"


"I was prescribed this and started it on 4/3/10. I started of at 250lbs...my highest weight ever after having a baby and not being able lose the weight. 8 weeks later I'm at 225. 25 lbs. It is amazing to me especially since before I started it I barely ate to begin with and could not lose a single pound. The only real side effect I have are tension headaches...but I had that problem before it...it has just increased a little. Sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep...but that's nothing new to me...I've always been that way...but now I just have the energy to deal with getting less sleep. I love it. I'm hoping to lose another 40 lbs getting ready to increase my workouts to do so!"


"I had such high hopes for Strattera, but it was completely ineffective and actually made my condition worse. I wanted it to help me focus on work: sending emails, making phone calls, generally being able to work at a computer and other things. I started at 40mg a day, and found myself slightly more tired. I raised it to 60mg a day and seemed to get more tired and less motivated to get anything done. Finally I went to 80mg and still no help with focus. I just found that I was lethargic, unmotivated and tired. I took naps and lazed around, but didn't get as excited about things as I had before the medicine. My job requires creativity, and it's hard to be creative if you're not excited about it. So I actually became LESS productive."


"I read about all of the bad experiences with humira and I never thought it would happen to me. A week after taking my first humira shot I woke up in a horrible rash. This was no normal rash, my whole chest and back was broke out and it was burning. I took benadryl and went to work throughout the day the rash continued to spread over my whole body. I developed a butterfly rash on my face and very little sunlight was burning me.. I went the ER but they didn't know what to do so I went to a urgent care and they gave me prednisone .. The rash has cleared some but I still have it. This was horrifying I will never take it again and you better believe this could happen to you!"


"I can't say enough good things! To start off with I run low on Estrogen, and the patch is packing! My libido is back up, cramps gone, not to mention perky breasts! I feel fantastic. I've tried so many forms of BC from the IUD(which is god awful), to the patch and the patch really is great.  It's easy to remember and apply.  I rotate it from one but cheek to the other and it stays on just fine.  If you are someone who does well on Estrogen based BC, I recommend the patch."


"I've been on Nexplanon for a little over two months now and I absolutely love it.  I was really scared of the side effects after reading tons of reviews, but I decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did! I don't have to worry about anything for 3 years and it takes a lot of pressure off of me and my partner. I was especially scared about the constant bleeding that a lot of people complained about, but I haven't run into that problem at all! I was actually supposed to have my period last week, but it never came, so here's to hoping I don't have to deal with that for the next three years!

Definitely consider this--it's painless and a great and easy way to be responsible about birth control!"


"I was on Oxycontin-240mg a day endone 50-70mg a day and tramadol 400mg a day. It was very hard to get off the Oxys, the endone wasnt that hard and tramadol was easy. But I got put on Zaldiar and taken off tramadol and the endones with little annoyance. Now I take just the zaldiar and I find it helps ( I see alot of people stating it made them tired and sick but not for me) I dont find any withdrawal if I dont have it for a day or two or 3 even. The only thing I notice is a little restlessness which is more like boredom then uncomfortable. I had a bigger addiction with other medicine I had to take from an injury and some days/nights I would curl up in a ball and white knuckle it. Not with this nor do i get tired it really helps me"


"I've always been skeptical about this method, mainly because the thought of a tube going into my arm freaked me out. But since I have a bad reaction to the pills, I chose this vs the other methods. I've had it for a little over 6 months and I've had no problems. I spotted once the first week and that was it. No mood swings, no binge eating, no weight gain. Well there was weight gained but that's bc I was lazy lol. The only down side is, due to having no bleeding, I never know if I'm pregnant or not. So I buy a pregnant test every 3 months just to be safe. Other than that, I love it."


"I got the Nexplanon put in Novemeber 2016 and for a while, it was fantastic. I didn't get my period which was great because I always got really bad migraines on my period and those stopped, didn't really experience acne and I actually lost 20 pounds which was fantastic. I did however experience severe anxiety but I've always had it so I don't think it was due to the nexplanon. It is now August and I am starting to gain weight, am left with acne and acne scars and have been experience bleeding for a few weeks now which is a huge pain. I called my doctor and she said it that it's all normal but what's the point in having the birth control if I can't have sex because I'm constantly bleeding? Gonna stick with it for another couple months and see"


"I want to thank Merck and it's scientist that developed this patch and I am so glad it is Over the Counter now.  I have worn the patch for one month now.  I am on my second box and will be purchasing a third a forth and so on.....  Oxytrol has changed my life back to normal.  No standing up and urine flowing out uncontrollably anymore. No more 12-15 trips to the bathroom a day.  I travel  and now I can drive for 2-3 hours at a time without stopping for a bathroom.  Now I  change the patch on day 4. I did try to hold out for the 4th night and while i did not have the urgency problem I did have to urinate more frequently than if I go four days and three nights. The adhesive problems and the crinkling I DON'T CARE better then a diaper."


"I bought it on a Thursday evening and applied my first patch Friday morning following my shower. I wore a depends that day also, not knowing how quickly or well the patch would work. I noticed a difference the same day! Now, one week into it I want to shout it from the mountain tops! No more embarrassing leakage, no more "accidents" and I forsee no more purchasing of Depends.

Forever grateful for this product and for it now being OTC! Can't thank them enough."


"I have Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and pain is an everyday thing, especially with scoliosis. Everyday I was taking Ibuprofen and that medicine had very little effect whatsoever. I switched to Aleve and as soon as I took those first two pills, I couldn't believe the results; my pain was gone an about an hour later."


"I'm 16 years old and I started taking phentermine 12/08/11. I weighed in at 211 lbs and I'm 5'5. Today is 12/18/11 and
I weigh in at 195lbs. That's 15 lbs in 10 days! My goal weight is 140 lbs by this summer because I'm so young to be obese. I'm going to be a senior and I don't want to leave high school the way I am now. "


"I usually have awful side effects from antidepressants, but did not have any with this one. So far Trintillex is the only antidepressant I have been able to tolerate. It allows me to function. I actually sing sometimes which was so rare for me. I cannot live without it. Unfortunately, it is expensive (even with insurance). I would give it a 10, but I have to pay so much money each month to get it."


"Took with tramadol. First two days was fine and had a blast of energy!  Then felt I was having allergic reaction. I switched the pristiq to night time before bed and took the tramadol in the morning and afternoon instead of at the same time. Problems solved and no issues. After nearly a month of use I am starting to feel tired again and flat as opposed to the energy I was feeling when I first started.  The veterans administration covers my cost.  It just recently got approved but still requires a special authorization."


"This drug has literally saved me, I was so low with my acne, I still have spots but no way as bad as before. I've been taking this 2 months, I didn't see results like all everyone else has said in a couple of days etc, I thought I'd stick to this and I'm glad I did, I think a couple more months of this my face will almost be clear. My acne scars are now my problem, I use Retin A but I'm on the Hunt for another treatment. I hope this continues to work for me and please try this, before the harsh drug accutane :)"


"I just started this yesterday, so I will continue to update on it. My low score doesn't indicate that it isn't working for me, just that is not yet had a chance to. So far though I have been up the entire night itching. Not at the application Site, but all over just like I do when I'm coming down from morphine, or other anesthesia after surgery. I hope that this passes because I'm very optimistic that this will work for me. My doctor just switched me to Butrans yesterday to replace Norco and baclofen  because my breakthrough pain was just getting so frequent and so severe that the other drugs were worthless. Reading everybody else's stories though makes me feel very optimistic about  Butrans."


"I suffer from lifelong migraine headaches. This medicine seems to help keep me out of the ER.  It is still early to tell, but I am hoping that it will be at least one answer to the puzzle of my near daily pain."


"My experience has been a good one. I am on week two and I have lost 10 pounds. It has taken away all my cravings and I dont eat in between meals anymore. I have not had any of the side effects they talk about except for an ever so slight headache at times. I contributed that to caffeine withdrawal.  I have also stuck to eating healthy and cut out alcohol. This has definitely been a good change for me."


"Have been on this medication for six months.  Three out of my six infected nails are totally clear and I am seeing new clear growth on the other three nails!

I grind and clip my nails aggressively twice a week and am religious in application."


"Had my first ever Gout flare in 2009.  Since then, had about 4 attacks till 2013, but uric acid was always more than 8; some times more than 10.  In 2014, I got 2 flares in a year.  That's when I started Febuxostat.  Worked like a charm!  I'm taking 40mg daily.  Uric acid is maintained at 5.5 mg/dl since then.  I was drinking water like crazy before to maintain uric acid - didn't help. Now, I'm careless about water in-take, still uric acid levels are fine.  My doctor is very data driven, so we took baseline SGPT/SGOT (liver enzymes) test before starting the medication. Measured uric acid and liver enzymes again after 1 month, and then after 3 months.  No side effects on liver enzymes but uric acid level went down drastically. So, I love it!"


"I took bromocriptine for 25 years had many side effects did not know they were related to medication until I read thus unformation"


"At first I was prescribed Zoloft 50mg which I cut in half to 25mg. I'm sensitive to medications and this being my first SSRI it really threw me for a loop.  Severe derealization and anxiety that lasted all day.  So I quit the Zoloft and was put on Celexa and Buspar, the Buspar is useless for me. I once again had bad derealization. So after giving the Buspar two chances I gave it up. I started Celexa at 10mg. First day samething, derealization, anxiety, etc. So I cut the pill in half to 5mg, helped me get used to medication really well. I now take it every night at 8pm. I'm currently taking 15mg, about to take 20mg after 3 more doses.  I'm starting to feel emotions and connections with myself that I haven't felt in years. So far, so good"


"I have had Implanon since March 2008 and the main side effects that I have are periods that are long lasting from 10 to 21 days, no libido/sex drive, and mood swings. My partner complains because I'm frequently on my period, which can be very frustrating."


"Increased mine & my childrens anxiety to the point we were violent with one another. I ended up on the pshyc ward and lost my home. I was a single mom of three with a 40 hour week job. Was the 3rd anti-depressant we tried."


"I've had mine in for about a month. Everyone I know who has had it said it was great and they love it. For me it has been painful and during sex my boyfriend has commented to me that he felt it poke him. I have also gained weight since the placement. I like that it keeps me protected for 5 years and that I don't have to worry about a pill everyday, but the pain is just too much. I have set an appointment to get it removed in 2 weeks."


"I got the one day ovule and used it about 2-3 hours ago,  and I will never use it again. Sadly I saw these reviews after I used the medication to see if it was just me that was experiencing awful ,painful, burning, itching and swelling.
I have a pretty  high pain tolerance but this is a different kind of painful. And its horrible.
I now realize that the 1 day treatment is too strong for most people and the 3 or 7day would be better. I've used them before with a YI and had no problems...
I think the cream is def making it worse. So it washed everything I could off with a Luke warm washcloth and then flushed myself with water down there as much as I could. Still not doing much better though, can't believe it brought me to tears!!!"


"I started phentermine 4/28/2014 I weighed in at 191.4 I started going to the gym and changed my eating habits it is now 5/2/14 weighing in at 187 4 pounds lost."


"I switched from Vestura (generic Yaz) to this due to sudden breakthrough bleeding, which only begun years after I started Vestura.  I went to my doctor to nip the situation in the bud and she told me she hates prescribing any form of Yaz/Yazmin to her patients anymore because it comes with so many warnings / side effects.

Trinessa has been awesome so far - little to no PMS (aside from some bloating, but no birth control can seem to alleviate that for me) and it has worked wonders on my hormonal acne-prone skin - I've not had a break out of any kind since I started a couple months ago.  Best of all, no weird breakthrough bleeding.  I've also noticed that I'm far less lethargic and foggy on this birth control compared to Yaz.  I'm pleased!"


"I was experiencing nightmares and terrors due to post traumatic stress disorder. They had me wired to the point of insomnia. I knew they weren't real, but the memory in the dream had been real so I was entirely overwhelmed every night with anxiety about going to sleep. I would take 50mg of trazodone every night and within 20 minutes no anxiety and within another 10 min I was dozing off. The only thing was I did have harder time waking in the morning mild hangover, but nothing a spot of coffee and shower did not remedy.  I get a full nights sleep now without waking in the middle of the night in a cold sweat or screaming."


"The medication did not improve the symptoms significantly until day 3 of taking it."


"So far Effexor XR has been a lifesaver with minimal side effects. As a full time care giver to my mom who has Alzheimer's, depression was slowly destroying me and I was a fool to think I was man enough to deal with it - with no help. After 3 weeks use, I had completely overcome my heavy alcohol use and my motivation, clarity and concentration levels returned to an above normal level. In the beginning I did experience the sweating side effect and felt a bit anxious. My doctor agreed he should have started me at the lowest dose instead of the 75mg. I now find that a 75mg dose every other day, supplemented with exercise on the non dose days has seriously turned my life around for the better."


"I took Mucinex for a bad case of bronchitis. It worked very well and I was finally able to stop coughing and start breathing again. The only problem was that it interfered with my sleep. I was awake most of the night and was not tired the next day. I had to quit taking it."


"For any teenage girl who is worried right now, don't be. I did the deed on sept 16 and the condom slipped off in me and I was so freaked that I drove over to Walgreens and took the pill within the first 24 hours because I was nowhere near ready to have a baby or be a mom I am WAY too young for that. At first I was fine, I had no symptoms and was normal but the second day was when the horrors began. I went insane, my mood was so swingy and I was constantly stressed out and nervous and just angry and I cried so much thank goodness I have such a supportive boyfriend to help me be okay. I didn't get the cramping and nausea too bad but I broke out a ton on my face. But do not stress it works and everything will be okay!!"


"I have only used baclofen for 3 weeks but I can say it is truly a miracle drug for me. I have suffered from chronic pain for 20 years after a motorcycle accident that resulted in fractures of T1 2 in 3 of my transverse processes and displacement of 2 other vertebras including 13 other fractures including punctured lungs and separations in my shoulder and clavicle. I know everybody on this post has serious pain. I tried every narcotic pain medication even becoming chemically dependent and eventually addicted to many of them and 4 other muscle relaxers and every other treatment (PT, acupuncture surgeries etc.) that I'm sure everybody on this board has tried. I have serious scar tissue in my upper back lower neck which caused me constant and severe pain. I stumbled upon baclofen going to urgent care to get a toradol shot just to make it so I could sleep that night. After I woke up the next morning taking my 1st dose of baclofen I had 50%+ pain reduction! For those of you that suffer from true chronic pain that is life affecting every minute of your life you can understand why I'm in tears writing this post. I cannot believe I had never tried this medication. I'm sure it does not work the same for everybody but when it works it is a miracle drug! I now can sleep the whole night and when I wake up in the morning I am not dreading a day of pain. Let me be clear I had 20 years of debilitating pain every minute I was awake unless I sedated myself so much that I could finally fall asleep. I went to four detox centers and two rehabs Because of all the opiate pain medications I was taking and then became addicted to.  I have been suffering through taking naltrexone to keep me from using narcotic pain meds to escape from my pain. I have a whole new life at age 42 now. I pray that this medication works as well for anybody else reading or posting on this site. God bless all of you suffering."


"I wish I had found this site last year because I would have never gotten this. Now  I'm one and a  half years in, before I used to have light 4 day periods but now they're light but 2 weeks long. I never have sex anymore because my periods are so irregular and I had no clue. So many others complained about fatigue. I am always tired. I can't use the pill because I smoke and I am terrified to get Mirena out. I had the worst insertion where the first one bent and they had to shove the second one in. I went into shock and couldn't feel my arms or legs for 20 mins. Removal is sure to be difficult with my luck. And who knows if and how long it will take to feel normal again? Every doctor I've talked to says I am the exception but is this said to us just so they can keep selling these?"


"Worked great for me. Not only did it control my perception of reality, it also takes away the strange emotional attachments that I was having. It made me go from sitting on the couch hidding, to working full time as an electrician, sometimes up to 10 hours a day, something I thought I would never be able to do again. There were only two problems. I was unmotivated, I didn't have any passion for life. I was  just going through the motions. However this is much better that being  psychotic and suicidal. In the 9 months I was on the medication, I gained almost 100 pounds. This happened even when I was eating the same amount as before I was medicated. Again, this is far better than being angry and paranoid."


"Caused nausea, dizziness"


"I have taken this for Bursitis of the elbow. I've been on it for 5 days now (50MG twice a day) and I have noticed very little relief from the pain in the bursa itself.  Keeping a pad on the elbow has prevented it from flaring up more, but I don't think the drug has helped me at all."


"I just finished 1 week of the doxy therapy. My derm prescribed it for 3 months. I don't see a major difference but I'm hopeful. It's only been a week and my derm said it would take about 2-3 months to see improvement. It cleared up the cystic acne on my cheeks and chin but I've gotten huge breakouts on my forehead and chest. It upsets my stomach a little but I have tried to avoid dairy immediately before taking doxy."


"The people that developed Harvoni should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for medicine. I carried this virus for 40 years!  Took the pill for 24 weeks and so far, I'm cured!  This is nothing short of a miracle. I only hope that Many more people can be cured also.  Thanks for saving my life. Sincerely,  Todd C."


"Cipro is great! It can't be beat! If my name was Cipro, that would be neat!
Clearing up the kidney infection I've had finally. I did injure my back while on it though, which is a possible side effect and it makes me feel like bad but the kidney infection is finally going away."


"I got my Implanon in March 2009.  The procedure was simple, but painful for a couple weeks. I am excited about the possibilities since I am an older mother who is not sure I am finished with babies.  However, I have "spotted" for 68 of the 90 days!  My actual period has decreased to very minimal but the constant use of a liner is just driving me crazy.  In addition I also have seen some weight gain and skin breakouts.  I am trying to add a estrogen patch for a month to see if we can break the cycle."


"I got food poisoning and couldn't stop vomiting and having nauseousness from 3 pm to about 4 am. I was puking so much and dry heaving that I was puking up blood (YIKES!). I found some extra zofran in my bathroom cabinet from my doctor from the other month, so I decided to take one 4 mg pill. Vomiting and nausea subsided after 15 min of taking zofran. Zofran, you're a life saver!!! Would always like to carry this
Medication around with me all day if I could.

Adam"


"The MIRACLE pill! I can't thank my doctor enough. I've tried every diet you can think of. Could never lose weight, I've always been obese. I started taking Qsymia on September 30/14  and lost 5lbs already. I feel with lots and lots of energy and my weakness (bread, sweets) gone! I'm not following any diet. Just exercising at least 30 minutes a day. Only side effect dry mouth and tingling in my fingers but I completely love it."


"Experienced hair loss and horrible scalp issues.  Also headaches and weight gain.

This drug is horrible and should not be allowed on the market."


"I've been on Livalo for 9 mos increasing the dose from 2 mg to 4 mg every other day with no side effects then due to poor LDL test (140) my MD switched me to 4 mg every day after 45 days I now have extreme diarrhea, stomach pain overall weakness and feel like I'm depressed And in a fog, sexual desire has waned as well - I'm stopping the meds. I'm 55 yrs old I work out 4 x a week lift weights etc triglycerides have always been low (55) and HDL (76) high without meds, only LDL was 170."


"I was prescribed Monodox at the age of 39. I never had acne. I had a partial hysterectomy months back and since then I have had several changes going on. My skin has been extremely oily and I was getting a new pimple every day. One would clear up and another would pop up on my face. I went to my dermatologist and he prescribed this medication. He said for some people it may take up to 2 months to see any kind of result. It was working for me within a week. It is true, if taken in the morning on an empty stomach it does cause nausea. I am so happy, my skin looks awesome. It has been just 1 month, and I have had completely clear skin since week 1."


"I was DX with Hashimoto's 2 years ago, had been having a LOT of stress in my life. I have never been fatiqued, but did have weight gain, I gained 20 pds and a moon sized face.I thought that it was grief (lost husband) I am also a nurse. I was put on Synthroid 75 mcg and felt worse, hair started falling out, felt like I was in a dream all of the time, no weight loss and depression. Told my endo that I felt bad and he ignored me. Thats when I started digging into what to eat (I am already a veggiterian) taking supplements and all of this helped. I went to a F P Dr. and demanded Armour. Felt great for the first two months. I started having the fight or flight feelings. I am now hyperthyroid. Two weeks on lower dose, and have lost 15 pds."


"I've only had the implant for 4 months and have booked an appointment in 3 weeks to get it removed.

I've experienced weight gain, I feel so depressed, my mood swings are all over the place, I have no energy at all, almost constantly bleeding, although it's only spotting and I haven't experienced a heavy period I'd much rather just a regular monthly period.

Just counting down the days to get this removed, didn't work for my body at all."


"I am 19 years old.  I was diagnosed with RRMS at the age of 15, in 2012. I started out on Rebif injections. I was on that for 6 months and had to stop due to anaphylactic shock. I had 3-4 flares and had to be treated by steroids. After, I started Copaxone and had 3-4 flares that caused a lot of damaged. I took this medication for 6 months and went into  anaphylactic. In June, I started  Tysabri. It took 6 months of fighting with my insurance to cover it. In the time being, I tested positive for JC virus. I had my 6th infusion Nov. 10, 2016. I can't emphasize and exaggerate enough how terrible I feel. I can barely move. I have severe chest pain and tightness. I'm so fatigued, I can't stay awake for more then a couple hours. I hate it."


"I have been prescribed the gel version of this medication in the past for BV, and I may have to call my Dr and see if it is possible to be switched to that. This pill makes me feel like complete crap, and I am not a small woman, and I am not normally sensitive to side effects. I feel excessively tired and nauseous, and when I'm not feeling tired and nauseous I am feeling anxious with bouts of dizziness. It's Friday night and my Dr will be closed until Monday, so I am going to have to continue with this for at least two more days before I can talk to my Dr. This is only day one and I am silently hoping that my body gets used to the drug and the side effects get better with time and not, God forbid, worse with build up!"


"Took Prozac for about four years.  It worked in relieving my depression, anger, and anxiety, but left me numb as well.  Had almost no "lows" but no "highs" either.  I had no side effects other than I now realize a reduced sex drive."

"I think everyone is different. It is nice to read all of the different opinions. I have had no problems with this medicine."


"Didn't do anything. Benadryl is better."


"I took this about one hour after unprotected sex, he pulled out and when he finished he didn't finish inside of me but some of his semen did land on my area, and of course I started freaking out. So I went to the nearest Walmart and bought this Plan B pill. This happened on July 17th, and my period was due for around July 28th-30th somewhere around those days. I didn't experience many side effects, just some cramping in my abdomen and a little above my hips & this went on for about 2 weeks on and off. I was very worried but I was trying not to stress too much because stress does affect your period, but I'm glad to say that I got my period on July 30th and it was like my usual monthly period :)"


"I am on my 5th day of 10 day prescription - taking 500mg in the morning and 500mg before bedtime. The pills are hard to swallow and taste awful so I dip them in honey before taking. It works great. Ceftin is working great. Being a person that has lived with nasty sinus infections most of my life, I never take the same antibotic twice in one year. However, Ceftin is at the top of my list. It cures the infection. Make sure you take a ten day (1000mg daily) course if you have a bad infection. It does make you feel bad - it is hard on your stomach so you must take it with food. Yoghurt or Activa is a must and also make sure you have a bunch of bananas on hand. Good luck."


"For 6 years I've been sweating so much that keeping my arms down wasn't enough. The sweat would creep about 2 inches out. I'd always wear jackets and say I don't want to tan. I live in Arizona! That is impossible. It does not snow here and it is always 109 degrees. Walking home is not smart and Drysol, Secret clinical strength, all clinical strengths, regular deodorants, Arid dry creme, and the home remedies like baking soda. NOTHING WORKED. Went to my doctor, she easily said Hypercare because its worked in her 15 year career and none of the 7 people she prescribed it to complained. I had doubts. IT WORKS. "


"On Metformin near two years. In Canadian terms my blood sugar is in the fives, this am 5.1. I take 500mg per day and have lost about 25 lbs since being diagnosed. Now I believe that comes from  the pill, daily gym sessions and a drastically changed diet. A hamburger bun is now a piece of lettuce, spaghetti now comes from zuchiinni, mashed potatoes are now mashed cauliflower and fiber based cereal is pretty normal for breakfast."


"I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for over a year, I finally decided to look for help because I was feeling really numb and hating my life, just feeling like a failure.  I am on my 5th week and I am still waiting for my mood to improve, I read some people say it might take 6-8 weeks to start kicking in and I cannot wait to feel better and have positive thoughts again.  Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated."


"This makes me very dizzy, but it works well for my hallucinations and paranoia. If I skip a day of taking it, I can't sleep! That's the only bad thing about it."


"I am 18 and have been taking Lutera for about 2 years. I have never had any problems that have been major. My periods have always been on time and normally the same. The only effect that might have something to do with my birth control is my emotions. I am not a very mean person and am very laid back. I have been upset around the weeks of after and before my period, never really bad though. Another thing is crying. I was never an emotional person until I turned 16ish and started taking birth control but sometimes I can't help shed a tear over nothing. As far as controlling my birth though I give this pill an A . It works great, have never had any scares and mistakes. Take it every day and try not to forget."


"I ate a whole box of vita wheat crackers last night without drinking much water and i payed the price for it today. Normally i undergo a bowel movement at least once a day, but after not passing anything yesterday morning due to being rushed for time, and struggling to pass anything this morning, I took one dulcolax pill at 11 am this morning. By 3:30 pm the cramps had started. The cramps were the usual tummy cramps, but were not highly unpleasant. I bore the cramps until 3:45 when i finally went to the toilet. I was in and out of there in literally 1 minute. Dulcolax is very fast and effective. I think many people experience problems because they forget that you cannot consume dairy with the pill, as it will cause extreme tummy discomfort."


"I tried Nuvaring in Oct 2012 and stopped it July 2013 because of mood swings and bloating.  I decided to try a pill and got severe anxiety attacks.  Went back on the Nuvaring in Sept 2013 and all was fine for the first 2 months but month 3 I got my mood swings back and I am so irritable that any tiny thing annoys me.  Sadly I stopped it because I can't take the anger from it and I know it is the Nuvaring because I've only been angry while on it.  It's too bad because it actually helped my anxiety and it was so convenient. Going to try a chewable pill next."


"I had a kidney stone operation and it took all the pain away in 2 seconds."


"It works fine on simple heartburns but not on complicated ones."


"I was diagnosed with Luekemia in May of 2011. I have been having chemo with Vidaza. I have the seven day treatments every four weeks. I am in remission as of September 2011. The strange side effect is the I no longer have psoriasis, which I have had for 50 years. My skin is now clear and has the appearance of the skin of a twenty year old."


"Taken daily but still have break through GERD."


"Had an on again, off again strep virus for the last year.  24 hours later after taking Levaquin and I can tell a difference.  Obviously a powerful medicine.  If you are an experienced sinus/throat person and you've tried all of the over the counter medicine, alternative and weaker antibiotic version give this one a try.  There are risks to taking this medicine.  If you are not to sensitive, do it!  This seems to be the only one with any effect that I tried."


"Well I started taking a low dose and it took about 4 hours for it to kick in.  I literally went about 7 times throughout the night and most of the morning.  I had some cramps, my stools weren't watery just lots of stool.   I'm really worn out from going so much.  But the up side. I feel pretty empty and when I go, I feel complete.  This was just the first day!! I'm afraid to take it again since I don't want it to interrupt my day. I literally have to run to the restroom!"


"I did not voluntarily take this my mother made me because i lost my v card at 17 but i was fine on it for the first 4-5 months but i always had pain in my ovary areas but it was fine. I actually liked it because i didnt have to worry about pregnancy. Now after 5 months i began losing my sex drive i couldnt get wet at all even if i was wanting sex. I began having severe mood swings and was so depressed i didnt want to be alive,and i got the ovary pains so bad i went to the emergency room and they just said it was nothing.The day i turned 18 is the day i got off.I immediately felt better and i even had a little sex drive.4 months off doing FAM birthcontrol still going strong. But this depends on you i liked it at first but not in the long run"


"I don't know how anyone can gain weight on this drug. But I guess everyone is different. I have to force myself to eat and then I usually throw it up. However, when I'm not sick to my stomach I feel ok. I wake up pretty happy. Slight mood swings. But it definitely took me out of the deep depression I couldn't get out of. I have found I'm interested in things I had lost interest in due to the depression. I'm not sure if I'll stay on it. It's just ok"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I bought Moviprep at Walmart Canada for $32.  Dr prescribed a laxative at 8am today which did a lot of the heavy lifting. I followed a liquid diet today and took prep at 6pm. It took 1.5 hours to begin working. 3 hours in and I think I may be done. I mixed it with lemon/lime Gatorade and chilled it. I plugged my nose and drank 8oz every 15min. I am chilled but that was the only side effect. I'm going to prepare my 6am dosage now. GLTA"


"Oily skin, 29 days on epiduo Middle acne before using epiduo.So when I started using epiduo I saw results the first week my face was getting better. 2 weeks in epiduo my face was all red. 3 week my face was getting worse .4 week it isn't improving. i will keep you updated"


"@Nishimaru2. I have the same problem your son does except mine is a bit...odd. If I'm not watching what I'm doing I'll find myself in the bathroom plucking facial hairs with tweezers. Weird, I know but only on Adderall."


"Hits fast and clean, noticeably lower blood pressure and can be quite relaxing. The 0.02s work better than the 0.01mgs. Too much can be dangerous with it leading to low blood pressure. There have been times I exercised or took stimulant because I was worried blood pressure was to low but if you can ride the tide it is an amazing medicine for it not being in the Xanax class."


"I have used Ornex for as long as I can remember and am extremely disappointed that it was taken off the market. It helped almost immediately and now I have to fish around and find something that will work as well. There was no dry mouth and the effectiveness was great. Please put it back on the market."


"I'm 26 and took vyvanse for 6 years for ADHD. I never was able to live up to my potential in academics until I started taking vyvanse and am now an RN. I don't like the way stimulants make me feel and finally decided to quit taking vyvanse after my doctor started me on clonidine 0.1mg at night for sleep. After taking them both for two months, (vyvanse 60mg in AM and clonidine at night) I decided to stop the vyvanse and have seen amazing results with only the clonidine. I have the same energy and personality as my old self with ADHD off of vyvanse, but compared to not taking stimulants without clonidine as compared to not taking stimulants with clonidine, I feel like I can finally live without a prescription narcotic and be successful. I never thought I could live a normal, productive life without vyvanse. It feels great, and I'm so thankful that when I asked my doctor for ambien to help me sleep, she first asked me to try clonidine."


"I do not have circulation issues, but I do have Reynauds likely as a result of Lupus.  I also have BP on the low side. I take this once a day in the winter and have not noticed any of the side effects mentioned (headaches, dizziness) but my already-bad leg/foot cramps get much worse -- sometimes debilitating. To counteract that, I take magnesium in the form of Calm at night...my cramps are much better!! I guess I recommend both...
I am wondering what time of day is best to take this..I can have sleep issues and don't want to make that worse."


"Hi I took Januvia for 1 year and 1/2 it was helping me regulate my Diabetes. But I started to have a abnormal pain in my abdomen and didn't know why never though that it was caused because of this medication. one day I had the pain so bad that I couldn't walk or stand, I went to the Hospital got admitted right away because I had Pancreatitis. I got Metformin for my diabetes, for the pain I had a lot of IV's. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days in the 3rd day the doctor told me that the cause of my Pancreatitis was the medication I was taking JANUVIA. I know this works for a lot of people to help them control the sugar like  it did for me, but please make sure that you tell your doctor make the necessary test every time you go to see if you are ok internally."


"Worked for a little while and had seen improvements in energy and a little in sex drive. But, if you are trying to get your significant other pregnant get your semen analyzed before and during treatment. My levels were non existent on Androgel! Once we switched Docs and treatment my semen levels went back to normal. Hope this helps"


"I first took it and felt great for about 5 days. However, slowly I started feeling sick again. Now I'm back to throwing up twice a day and can't eat hardly anything. I don't know if it would be worse with the medication so I keep taking it."


"Ive had four shots at this point. I was on birth control pills for years due to excessive bleeding and extreme pain. Never had a regular period and would have them for over a week with HEAVY bleeding-im talking pad and tampon at the same time and it would still overflow. The pills only made it worse. Since the shot, i have had no issues. I have gained about 25 pounds, but that didnt happen until 2.5 months in. And i quit antidepressants so that could have been why i gained weight. After 2.5 months, there is no bleeding and no cramps. I almost forget what its like to have a period. And to be thruthful, my boyfriend cums inside me and has since ive been on the shot. Ive had no pregnancy scare or issues at all. Its super convenient and easy!"


"I had a "double", that is a colonoscopy and an upper endoscopy (EGD) done at the same appointment.  They used propofol for the anesthesia, it worked wonderfully!  Out like a lightbulb before the procedure, then I came to after the procedure and they wheeled me into recovery.  No real groginess or anything like that, although I was a little "tipsy", and was like a jolly old drunk for a little while ..... my wife had to tell me to stop being so obnoxious!"


"The first week I got Levora from Planned Parenthood was hell. I was a crazy and moody beast, and I ate everything in sight. Right now I'm finishing up my second month and it's going way better. The weird food cravings have gone down significantly, although I have gained about 4.5 pounds. The clinician said it would help my acne, but it hasn't really changed yet. Although I am really stressed with finals at college, so that may be why. It hasn't really dramatically increased though. But what HAS dramatically increased is my sex drive. I've never been a very sex driven lady, but now I definitely am and my boyfriend is loving it hahaha. Unfortunately it hasn't made my breasts grow though. All in all, I really like it."


"I had unprotected sex and took Ella One on third day. I didn't get my period and fell pregnant. I had some implantation issues,  Vasa Previa (baby blood vessels blocking cervix). I can't help but think, although no concrete evidence that Ella One caused this. I now have a beautiful healthy baby boy which was born by csection due to this. Would change him for the world but wanted to say Ella One didn't work for me."


"Caused severe dizziness upon standing and even when sitting at my desk.  Mental disturbances such as severe blurred vision, causing nausea and vomiting."


"I was very skeptical about this pill, however, after taking this for three weeks, I feel great. No side effects whatsoever! I am glad I took this courageous step."


"I started remicade in 2010 and stopped remicade in 2016, almost seven years it worked absolute wonders for me. Amazing for my  Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), my arthritis started when I was a baby and I am now 25 year old female. Within the first year I developed psoriasis, who cares right? I can walk, I can actually bend my knees, zero pain. I started doing UVB light therapy and my psoriasis has not been back. 2016 I developed what I first thought was heat rash. Turned out after months and months of pain, swelling, terrible rash all over my legs that I had developed hypersensitivity leukocytoclastic vasculitis. A listed rare, severe side effect which immediately had my doctor taking me off of remicade. Giving remicade a 5 because it worked for me but couldn't continue."


"Before I started with Efudex I googled pictures and reviews, on seeing the pictures I decided to do one part of my face at a time, lip first and now I've just done 2 weeks on the right side of my face and I'm glad I did especially because I work in retail and the pain of feeling like you have cold sores all over your face, thank God for makeup is all I can say. I will do my right side once my left has healed and then my forehead followed by a micro dermabrasion. I think this product is amazing and the way it keeps working after you stop applying. Those who did your whole face all at once I take my hat off to you."


"I am so very thankful for this medication. It has allowed me to get a handle back on my life. I have panic attack disorder, separation anxiety, depression, and generalized anxiety. I was prescribed the Effexor for my depression. I was so depressed that I wouldn't leave bed, I'd have crying fits daily, everything would upset me, and I had suicidal thoughts. I take 150mg daily, as well as some other medications, and I can honestly say I am a huge fan. I haven't had any side effects, I don't go through withdraw if I don't take it the same time daily, it doesn't cause any serious problems. My only advice is to take it with food, like most medications. Although this drug works for me, it might not work for everyone."


"Just diagnosed, my TSH has been in the 20s-30s, my T3 and T4 are at the low low range.  Doctor says I have subclinical hypothyroidism.  I refused the medicine for a month, lost 15 pounds, ate healthy, exercised, quit smoking, and was perfect.  Unfortunately, TSH did NOT change.  Started the medicine -- felt euphoric first few days.  Around day 5... I felt like something was "coming back".  A feeling that I lost 11 years ago when I was 18yrs old (something I gave up trying to fix when I was 20yrs old).  I'm excited by the possibility that perhaps it was my thyroid and I can treat it now. Eager to see how I feel in a couple months!  I think I need more than 75mcg.  I have no side effects at all."


"I have social anxiety & take this medication on an as needed basis. I have noticed a huge change in myself once I got the dosage right. I wouldn't be able to function in social situations without it."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I know everyone is different, but this vitamin is by far the best one out there. I've taken many prenatal vitamins and they've always made my stomach very upset and made me very constipated. Thanks to this vitamin, I don't even have to take it with food. The only complaint I have about it is the taste. You have to swallow it very quickly so the taste doesn't stay on your tongue."


"This medication did amazing things for me after being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.  I suffered panic attacks, inability to control my emotions, crying to bouts of anger along with other symptoms.  Within 2 weeks there was a huge change. I am now laughing and joking again, I have no mood swings, no more crying, I have no anger issues now, just incredible.  I did suffer side effects for the first 17 days and was very nauseous. First few days are the worst and then it eases off, some minor headaches, a small amount of fever, a little more sweating, some dizziness, but overall it was worth it.  Back to a happy go lucky girl."


"I had all of these horrible thoughts racing through my mind for 5 weeks before I started Prozac. I kept thinking about dying, my family dying. I feared time and death and could not stop the racing thoughts no matter what. I thought I would never get better, but then a week after starting Prozac, I no longer had any racing thoughts! It has brought me back into the moment. No more intrusive thoughts :)"


"I read a lot  of reviews before getting the paraguard, that it was a painful insertion. To be honest I barely felt a thing! Before I knew if the doctor said he was done. Honestly didn't hurt one bit. The only thing I felt for the first 4 hours were cramps. I went back to work that day cooked and cleaned! Also on that note my cramping didn't get worse not my flow. I'm guessing it all depends on each females cycle. Maybe if you're on and off it comes heavier? Or if you regularly get it not much changes? Who knows! But it's totally worth it. Best birth control so far."


"I've been on the patch for 4 months now. The first month I had spotting for about 2 weeks after my period, but it vanished completely and didn't have any spotting since. My periods seem to be less heavy and my cramps are completely gone too -I never had bad ones before, tho-. I found the best place for me to wear it, is on my butt. It does irritate the area and it becomes itchy the last week. It always gets lint around the edges but I just don't care anymore.
Despite everything, I'm thinking on stop using it. It has killed my sex drive, thus making my sex life miserable and endangering my relationship. I'm so dry and so uninterested in sex now when 5-6 month ago I was a waterfall after the slightest caress.
It's a shame."


"I'm a 19 year old college female. I was struggling with anxiety and depression for about six months and went on Zoloft in December 2012. It made me even more depressed, even though it helped with the anxiety. Zoloft also made me a zombie (napping for hours during the day, no motivation to socialize, no motivation to do schoolwork, nothing). I went off it about a month ago and switched to 150mg of Wellbutrin daily. I noticed a difference the FIRST day. It gave me the energy/positivity I have been lacking for months and I finally am starting to feel like myself again. I recommend it to anyone who Zoloft didn't work for or who needs that extra boost to come out of a fog."


"I initially started on Antabuse when I realized I could not stop on my own. My fear of side effects from drinking on it was sealed after I purposely had a half glass of alcohol while taking it. You develop a funny taste in your mouth, flushing and heart racing. I think effects are worse the longer you've been taking it and how much you drink if you decide to drink around the time you took it.

When I was ready to discontinue the drug, I read you had to wait one week. At that point I had been taking about 250mg per day for a couple of months. When two weeks was up, I had a glass of wine. I had a reaction, it wasn't severe, but I had the hot flushing, racing heart, and yucky stomach feeling. So for me, the drug was still in my system."


"I'm on my second, and last, depo shot. The first time I got the shot I only experience spotting for about 2.5 months. During my second shot I've experience severe abdominal pain causing me to barely be able to eat for a few months now, depression that comes and goes out of nowhere, headaches, weakness and fatigue even if I sleep 8 hours I still feel exhausted throughout the day, and since the second shot I've had multiple anxiety attacks. I would not recommend this shot to anyone. I haven't felt like myself in months and even the smallest amount of stress will get to me and cause an anxiety attack or depression. Before the shot, I've never had any of these symptoms."


"I have taken Trazodone 150mg for 5 years. It has been a God send for me. I have chronic pain that would keep me up all night. Also my head would not stop working overtime and I had trouble falling asleep. Now I am asleep within 20 minutes and I wake at night with no problem getting back to sleep."


Aluminum hydroxide / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone

"It's an effective medicine for gas."


"Very good product! Effective without any side effects. Good experience!"


"I have dysmenorrhea. I have had Mirena for almost 5 years, due to get a replacement at the end of this month. It has been great - no periods, increased libido. I did get some angry red pimples on my chin, which cleared up with antibiotic cream from my GP. Have gained weight, but this is undoubtedly due to my terrible diet and lack of exercise! My GYN said I could leave it another 6 months, but I have been feeling moodier/libido decreasing the last couple of months, due to the hormones waning. Mirena is the best thing I ever tried, I got it to try and stop my very painful periods, and it has worked!"


"This medicine has dropped my blood sugar almost 100 points vs same dose of another long acting insulin."


"I started accutane late December, 2015. I was on it for 7 weeks 5 days when I had to temporally stop because my liver enzymes were elevated. At this point I was taking 60 mg per day. In regards to my acne, my skin was clearing beautifully! I'm very happy with the results. However, I experienced side effects such as dry skin, dry lips, joint pain, headaches and trouble sleeping sometimes. Within two weeks after stopping accutane, I did some blood work. My results showed that my liver enzymes were back to normal so my doctor advised me to start accutane again. I'm currently taking 60 mg again everyday and I have roughly about 11 weeks more to go on accutane. I do get 1-2 pimples and a few blackheads but nothing cystic."


"I found this to be a wonderful medicine for my sinusitis. I was on Augmentin for 2 weeks and didn't completely take away the infection. The Levaquin stopped the infection in 3 days. I have used a number of times and luckily have had none of the problems others have had."


"The 1 good thing is I'm not pregnant.  I've been reading and majority of everyone is the same as me.  I got the implant in Feb hella excited to not have a period ever, and literally out of the almost 7 months I stopped bleeding for a week.  Does anyone know if the spotting ever stops or do I just push through it?  I have had mood swings but those last a day or 2. I had them anyway with PMS.  I'd like to know if I should get it removed or wait it out if the bleeding does stop"


"Most effective. Thought I had a cold from travel, but had high fever unusual for me [30 years since last time!] Unresponsive to Aspirin/Tylenol. Diagnosed with Influenza A. 2 Capsules & 18 hours later POOF, fever gone & 98.6.
Other Conditions persist: Chills with sweats, hazy feeling, equilibrium off, cough transitioning to yellow mucus.
Side effects: 30 hours since fever dropped, body temperature has remained 1-2 degrees below normal. Eyesight is impaired where I see better without my glasses far, but have trouble reading small print like medicine instructions with glasses. Continued ringing in my ears. Insomnia because I should be drop-dead tired."


"You don't see a whole lot of information on Chantix being used to quit smokeless tobacco (dip/spit tobacco) but it is just as effective.

Started taking Chantix a few weeks ago while dipping 1+ can a day.  After being 2 weeks in, I am no longer dipping but still have urges (habitual maybe?)  For me, the side effects have included mood swings, vivid dreams (primarily unpleasant over pleasant), and gas.  Terrible, terrible gas, which is highly unfortunate since I work in a cubicle."


"Side effects I experience are blurry vision, frequent bruising on arms and legs, and occasional, moderate nose bleeds."


"I just want to first say, that to all those people who reviewed it and complained - I came to look at these reviews and freaked out for a month over nothing. I've never been on birth control, I'm on my second pack, and I've had great results. The first month I spotted after two weeks, but once I finished my period and started the second pack, I haven't had any spotting since. I haven't gained any weight and my skin has been flawless. My mood swings may have increased slightly, but overall I've been very very satisfied with this birth control and I hope it continues."


"Was originally taking Gildess and it seemed to be working out great until they discontinued it. They switched me over to this and I felt like a hot mess. Mood swings, super tired, the whole 9 yards! Asked some of my friends and the same thing was happening to them. Just spoke with my doctor and she mentioned a lot of her patients are asking be taken off the Blisovi. CVS recommended Microgestin and my doc agrees! If you think your bc is messing you up and your taking this stuff, it is! Switch immediately."


"I got my birth control in August 2015. After getting the Nexplanon, my period was non stop until just about 2months ago. It's light bleeding and very easy to deal with. However I am so sensitive and its hard dealing with it. I get mood swings and sometimes horrible episodes of anxiety/depression. My arm has been hurting recently and I'm due to et it taken out in 4 days. I will be going on oral birth control. One of the pros I realized with my implant is I have not experienced any serious weight gain!"


"I started at 50 mg because of post partum depression and at first, I didn't experience hardly any side effects. After 2 weeks, I went to 2 of 50 mg and felt more energized. However,  after a couple months my dr switched me to 100 tablets and I became extremely irritable, jittery, had alot of mood swings and ended up in the er for trying to commit suicide. The dr told me this was normal and to just stick with it. She even wanted to have me go up to 200 mg. So, I tried to wait it out. It continued to get worse.  I started having rage towards my husband and acting out with agression which Is not the kind of person I am.I ended up having tests done which showed I have a vitamin D deficiency and began taking vitamin d3. I'm so done with zoloft"


"From reading through these comments, it seems a large consensus that TamiFlu causes nausea and stomach aches. For me, this was not as severe as some other commenters have experienced. I also experienced "spaciness", grogginess, and vivid dreams.

I was exposed during thanksgiving from some family members who tested positive, and five days later no symptoms. Thanks Tamiflu!

I also wonder how much of these flu-like symptoms commenters think are "from" Tamiflu, but are actually from the flu virus."


"This drug is horrible. Took it for three days and could barely get out of bed. Tired, lifeless existence is no life. Been off it for two days and still feel the side effects. Avoid completely"

"My friend was on it a few months before me and I saw her skin clear in about 3 weeks. I was looking forward to the same thing happening to my skin. Unfortunately, my acne got MUCH worse!!! For a little more than 2 months my skin showed no sign of improvement and I wanted to give up. My mom told me to hang in there for one more month, and I'm glad I did. After about 2 and a 1/2 months, my skin just began clearing. And once I started noticing a difference, all pimples were gone in a week. Dry lips were hardly there thanks to Aquaphor. DO NOT PICK at your face. No matter how many people told me not to, I did it anyway and have scars. Also, Cetaphil lotion is a blessing. Back pain started around month 3 but its a small price to pay."


"Having suffered with Ankylosing Spondylitis for 10 years and with vast peaks and troughs in pain and the awful Methotrexate for 4 years with loads of side effects, I can honestly report Simponi has simply transformed my life. It's reduced swelling so well on my once sore toes I have excess skin, I'm running and active, I don't get any morning stiffness and NO SIDE EFFECTS thus far, it has cleared up my Psoriasis as well which sometimes returns towards the end of a month as you'd expect. The delivery method is far superior to methotrexate."


"I've been taking Amoxicillin Clav 875 for only 2 days now and already starting to feel better. No other issues as of yet."


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


"I've had Hep C for more than 15 years. Was prescribed epclusa. After 6 weeks viral load was undetectable. During treatment had confusion, depression, anxiety, very short tempered, and light sensitivity. I finished the 3 months and still have no viral load, but the light sensitivity remains to the point I need to wear sunglasses when I drive at night."


"I first started taking 5mg and it didn't work then I started taking one and a half and it started working. My doctor prescribed this in the beginning  and I had some side effects  I was ordering things online, talking on the phone  and I didn't remember things I was saying.  I was getting up in the middle of night eating, I had out of body experience & hallucinations, but my doctor said it has to be in your system to work. Just recently my family told me I got up sleepwalking, unfortunately I still take the medication because I am unable to sleep without it but it does work.  You have to turn off all your TVs and lights and go lay down in the dark, no reading books, no getting on your tablet or phone and you will go straight to sleep and have a nice good seven to eight hours of rest."


"I was hospitalized for a kidney stone. First time for me. Worst pain ever. Found out the stone was 5mm big and wasn't going to pass on its own. I needed surgery. When I was admitted to the ER they gave me morphine which didn't do anything for the pain. Then they gave me Dilaudid, which worked in seconds and lasted hours. I didn't feel any pain while on Dilaudid. Only thing that really works in this situation."

"It has been the only thing that has worked for me.  It's a lifesaver!"


"I have been on it for just 4 days. Started at 185lb and down to 181lb. Could be due to a good poop or just the day to day fluctuation of weight....but it's so encouraging!  I workout and always have 6 days a week, running, weights or HIIT. My problem is I love to eat, if I didn't work out I would easily weigh 300 pounds. I don't hear much talk about working out on this site.  This pill will help but u need to move ur ass!  I will keep posting my hopeful progress."


"I had the Implanon inserted 6 weeks after the birth of my daughter. It didn't hurt at all and I hate needles! The first 3 months I got my period regularly then twice in the fourth month, since then I have not had a period! No side effects whatsoever and the best part is! You don't have to remember to take a pill. I plan on having my second baby when it is removed just before 3 years! Definitely the best method available to women."


"The day that I'm writing this review, I was switched to Prozac by my doctor. Luvox for around 8 months worked wonders for my OCD. I was basically symptom free during that time with very little anxiety and worry. After the 8-month mark, it slowly started losing its effectiveness. My doctor bumped it from 150mg to 200mg, but that made everything worse. I wasn't falling asleep until 7am, I had no energy during the day, and my OCD symptoms were basically completely back. I was also on Zoloft for around a year, and the same thing happened there. Everybody is different, though. If you have OCD and haven't tried Luvox, give it a try. When everything was going well, I still experienced sexual side effects like low libido and delayed ejaculation."


"Are you kidding me with the burning?! My YI was nearly gone with the Diflucan pill, but decided to back it up with monistat 3. Within 10 minutes, my peaceful vagina erupted into unbearable flames and itching like I've never experienced. Can't sleep. Rushed to bathtub for emergency douche under the faucet, trying to purge this Satan's brew from my agonized lady purse. If you enjoy mind bending burning and itching  shove this poison into your body. If not, stay away!

As I write this, my pussy is spread before a fan and I'm think only the Lord can help me now."


"Over the past 7 yrs. I've been on every painkiller known to man. Currently what works for me is Fentanyl 25mg patches and Norco 10/325mg for breakthrough pain. Disabled due to severe back(lower) pain, both hips broke, right knee with osteoarthritis and my right Achilles tendon was torn up by a

dog. My combo allows me to function somewhat for up to about 4 hrs before pain level starts rising and I have to stop cause sometimes the pain gets so bad that the meds don't work. Fentanyl is not for everyone but I would suggest to anyone dealing with severe chronic pain to try it.A patch last 3 days and I have no side effects from it. No constipation either.  I thank my lucky stars that my doc found this combo. I still have bad days but very few."


"I just started taking lorazepam (ATIVAN), I take it most days. Sometimes I don't depending on how I feel. I feel really good on it. I am on 0.5MG. My psych said I can take two though. It relieves my anger, anxiety, and helps with my concentration a little. I am bi-polar and ADD/ADHD. I didn't think benzos would do anything for me because I had been on Xanax and Klonopin and they did nothing but make me sleepy or agitated for me but there is HOPE. I give it an A ."


"I have been in nexplanon for a year. I love it!! During the first few months I had some bleeding for up to 3 weeks in a row but the flow was really light and it didn't bother me that much. I knew my body needed time to adjust. After that I had periods every 3 months for less than 4 days. No pain at all and really light flow. Gain some weight but I haven't been watching my diet so I can't blame it on nexplanon. Random mood swings but nothing severe or that I had to worry for. I have no secondary reactions in the implant site. Just a little bit pain during the first month. Overall I had a great experience. I love it."


"Lexapro pretty much saved my life at one point. I’ve had anxiety/depression all my life but a few years ago I was at a low point. I wasn’t getting out of bed and felt like I had no reason to even get up in the morning. One day I decided it was time to live again and I saw a psychiatrist. He prescribed me 10mg of lexapro which I was advised to take half of for the 1st two weeks. As most people have mentioned, the 1st few weeks are for SURE not a good time. If you were already dealing with bad depression, I would advise that you stay close to good people for the 1st couple of weeks. I promise you though, it gets better if you wait it out. MAJOR sexual side effects (as in NO sex drive whatsoever) but if you have bad anxiety, it’s worth it."


"I started to take Lonox once I was diagnosed with IBS. Before I started the pill I was always in the bathroom. Everything I ate made me sick. I was afraid to leave my house, eat out, and just go out in general. When I would get my “attacks” I felt as if I had no control over my body. If I had to go I HAD TO GO. There was no such thing as waiting until I got home. I started to map out public bathrooms that I felt comfortable enough in just in cause I had an emergency on the road and had to go. I’ve felt as if Lonox has given me my life back. I’m able to go out on long trips, eat out, and be me again with out fearing an “emergency”. I was directed to take 2 pills 3 times a day, but it made me constipated and I would cramp pretty bad. What works for me is taking the 2 pills once a day in the morning. I always go to the bathroom within ½ hr of taking the pill, but at least it’s predictable now and I stay regulated. Some days I have to take the pill twice, but never more than that."


"Just finished my 10 weeks on the Nicoderm CQ program and am proud to say I have not slipped up once.  I have to admit that it was one of the hardest things I have done but it was all worth it.  Everything tastes and smells so much better that in itself is worth quitting for.  I smoked and used smokeless tobacco for about 13 years. If I can do it anyone can."


"I took Klonopin in the past and recently was put on Vistral which did next to nothing. I asked my Doc for Ativan and was prescribed 1.5 mg 3X per day and WOW! I slept like a baby last night (just started this medicine yesterday) and feel completely stress free! I rated it 8 as it does start to wear off a tiny bit about the 4-6 hour mark. VERY impressed though and no "hangover" feeling the next morning. Thanks for reading."
