"Oh my goodness! I've been blocked up for nearly a week now as I've started on codeine medication. in this first instance i took two before bed. At around 5.30 I felt like I was having contractions, I got a little worried as it did not feel like a bowel movement but rather my intestines trying to claw their way through my stomach! By 7.30 I dragged myself to the toilet and low and behold the best bowel movement of my life. I will definitely recommend this to others as I now feel absolutely amazing but the hours writhing around in my bed contemplating calling the hospital were definitely something I wish I was warned about! Drink lots of water when taking!!"


"Ativan has been SO SO helpful for anxiety and panic attacks.   It can be addicting so I try and only take it when I really need to;  not more than a couple times a week.  But it definitely has helped me and I would recommend it to those with bad anxiety."


"By day 6 Cipro was helping with the symptoms but I started having blurred vision.  Day 7 vision even more blurred and had a headache and pain behind right eye.  Doctor took me off Cipro and put me on Doxycycline."


"My daughter has Turners. She has been on this since she was 2 - she is 4 now. It is working great."


"I have found that Effexor XR is the most effective drug for my anxiety disorder and depression. I have had basically no side effects from the medicine and it has helped control both issues. I have noticed withdrawals even if one dose is missed. I have been taking 150 mg daily for three years and overall am very pleased."


"Literally the only good thing Kariva did was prevent pregnancy and clear up my acne. I'm 18 and it's the first birth control I've ever tried. Within the second week of taking it I had a lower sex drive, I gained weight and I couldn't get wet no matter WHAT I did. Also, my periods were never bad to begin with, but on this pill they were SO heavy for 7 days. I had extreme cramping, was always tired, and had shooting pain through my anus every time I would sit down on the toilet. I've been off this for 3 weeks now and everything is completely back to normal."


"I take Hizentra once per week and I have not had any infections, sickness or

Any other problems. The prep is very easy and afterwards just a few lumps that

Slowly disappears after a few hours. Once a week at home and after 2 years

With no infections it has been great."


"I have been on Lexapro for 4 years and have gained 40 lbs.I have always been able to control my weight, but have gained steadily 10 lbs a year since beginning Lexapro. Other than the weight gain, overall, I felt like I was doing good on Lexapro until the last 6 months or so and even tried to get off of it, but was not successful. I went to see my doctor and she switched me to Pristiq. I feel so much better mentally and physically. I have been able to drop some weight and feel that there is hope for getting these extra pounds off.  I'm not nearly as lethargic and wake up in much better spirits than I have in a while. I am hopeful this medicine will work for me and that I am also able to lose the weight."


"I have diabetes Type 1 with insulin resistance. Works well. I use 200u/day, 100 AM, 100 PM. It can burn quite a bit when injected, this is because Lantus is fairly acidic with a pH of around 4. When the low pH hits the higher pH of the body, it forms microscopic crystals that are absorbed slowly. This precipitating action that causes the burn as well as makes Lantus a long-acting insulin. It helps me to inject the 100 units in 2-3 sites so less goes in per site. Also be sure to leave the needle in for 15-30 seconds to avoid leakage. I'm a chemist by trade."


"Stupidest drug ever made stops you sleeping when your ill?? And gives you a constant headache why on earth would a doctor give this to a ill patients to stop them sleeping!!!"


"Only been on this medicine for 4 days and it has already made a huge difference in how I feel.  The depression was awful and the intolerance to the cold was bone chilling.  I hope things continue to look up.  So far so good!"


"Tested positive for Chlamydia and was given two 500mg of azithromycin took it Monday right before bed it's now Tuesday night and I feel fine. Had a little diarrhea Tuesday morning and a tiny bit of Nausea but nothing extreme."


"I took this supplement awhile back with hope that it would help me with my migraines, I would have them for weeks at a time. So I took 200 mg everyday, I don't recall if i took it with or without food, but definitely took it during the day for at least a month. By the time I met with a neurologist my migraines were almost gone. He told me to stop taking it as he didn't know enough about, so I did, but nothing has worked so well since, so now I'm going back on. I believe that studies have been updated well enough. :-)"


"My original indication of Macular degeneration was distortion of vertical lines .

After six injections; these distortions have improved significantly.

I am very optimistic this process is working"


"I've been on Effexor for about 3 years now. I started at 75mg/day and am now at 37.5mg/day. Even at this dose, for me, it has drastically reduced the obsessive tendencies I had before. I very rarely have spiralling down obsessive periods now. I really dislike being on meds, but have resigned myself to being on Effexor the rest of my life. It has improved the overall quality of my life quite a bit. The only side effect I've noticed is if I miss taking the dosage at the same time every single day. If I'm off even by a few hours, I start to get the previously mentioned "brain zaps" which feel very odd. It feels like my brain goes through a warp of some type for a moment or two here and there. Once I have one, I realize I haven't taken my dose."


"When I was put on Prozac at the hospital, they prescribed 10mg.  At this dosage, I would have what I can only describe as "dips" in my mood.  It was like I had become become bipolar without "highs".  I would go from happy or sexually aroused one minute to wanting to cry the next.

So I went to my psychiatrist and explained that to her, so she increased my dosage to 20mg (which I think is the norm anyway).  Since then, I have been doing much better.  I'm actually a functional and productive human being again. I can thank Prozac for preserving my sanity."


"I've tried so many antidepressants but this one has been the best. I was on 10mg for a month and just had my dosage increased to 20 mg, two days ago. I do feel sick; nausea and a little disoriented but those are bearable side effects to me. I have had energy, better concentration but the biggest thing I love about this antidepressant is that I have my sex drive back. My libido wasn't affected like it has been in the past with other meds; I've actually had increased sex drive. So far I feel "okay" but hopefully since 20mg is the therapeutic dose, that I feel more "content" or "happy" with my life soon. "


"Helped me out tremendously. Had nausea all the time for the first few weeks, but subsided after about 4 weeks of taking Zoloft. I believe it wasn't going to work because I have never believed in taking any medications. I am glad I changed my mind.  Zoloft has definitely helped me overcome anxiety."


"I got the implant in August. Since then I have constant nausea, I have gain weight ( I work out out daily), and I am only off my period 1 week out the month.. Other than the fact it is quite effective I completely hate it.  I am scheduled to get it removed tomorrow>"


"Took this for social anxiety. After about a month on the pill my anxiety was gone. However, there were some side effects that I didn't like. My sexual functions (male) were completely gone which scared me. But after a couple months on the pill I could get by...but it's never as good on the pill as it is off the pill. Also I ground my teeth at night a LOT. I gained weight too...but that could be because I ate terribly, so we'll call that my fault. After a year on this pill, I stopped taking it. Having my social anxiety gone while on the pill built up my confidence a lot, and now I do fine in social situations with no pill needed. I recommend this pill for social anxiety. "


"Yes, I think this medicine works in treating allergic rhinitis, but after not being able to sleep at all the night I took it and being extremely agitated with mood swings tapering off into the next day after a full night's sleep, I will take it no more. I think each person needs to weigh the benefits verses the side effects for them.  Everyone is, of course, different and each responds in their own way to all of these medicines.  Just monitor your reaction to the drug closely if you do decide to use it and make the right decision for you to continue it or not.  "


"I have been taking Prozac for almost 2 yrs for my OCD and depression. The medicine has done wonders for my disability but has done nothing good for my relationship with my boyfriend. Prozac has taken my sex drive completely away. We try everything to bring it back but nothing works. I had no choice but to take myself off the medicine."


"I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and I am in at least 6 or 7 level pain most of the time without meds. A lot of pain meds make me nauseated or leave me woozy.  For some reason Meprozine doesn't make me feel light headed at all and the phenergan in it keeps me from being nauseated.  I was able to go to college and graduate with honors because I actually felt like doing something!"


"I've been on Saxenda for 1 week. I've lost 6.8lbs (203.8 to 197). I did experience nausea a few times, however I requested a script for Zofran to combat this side effect. I have tried several other weight loss medications unsuccessfully, including Phentermine, Belviq and Contrave. With Saxenda, I do not feel nervous or irritable. I stay full longer, and when I do eat, I get full quickly. So far it is going very well. Because my food intake is significantly less, I have been chosing food more wisely. Healthier food = less fatigue. I began walking on my treadmill in the evenings. After work I am no longer too tired to exercise. I'm excited to see the 1 month results, and I will keep you posted."


"On medicare and hit the donut hole in August, Have to pay $185. for one month. Way to much for something thats helping me breathe. Something I have to have. When is a generic or something affordable coming out."


"So this is my second week in contrave take one tablet twice daily. When I started this drug I was 170 pounds. I weighed my self this morning and I was at 167. So about 3 pounds this first week. Thankfully I have not experienced insomnia yet but I have been nauseous. I can only eat once a day and if I eat more than that I end up puking it back up so there isn't a point in me trying to eat more than that. I'm hoping that I am able to start exercising soon because I have not been able to do so due to a torn tendon in my ankle."


"When I first was put on Generess Fe, I had no side effects until the second week. It was like everything hit me at once. I can't stop eating, my face never breaks out and as of now it's acne central, I've been throwing up and I can't even go to work without getting immediately annoyed."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I just took the 5pm dose and threw it all up. I wish someone would have talked to me about this possibility and maybe coached me with the some of the tips I've read in this forum. Now I have the second dose which I am supposed to take in the morning but should I just do it now? I don't know if I can keep it down. I have a call in to the surgery center but I don't know if I'll hear back tonight."


"My experience with Clomid has been wonderful. It really works. Just last month I was prescribed 50mg of Clomid after trying to conceive for over a year with PCOS and had taken Metformin up to 2,000mg a day. Just last week I got a positive on two home pregnancy test and a positive on a lab blood draw. Baby dust to all :) Don't stop believing."


"Followed the instructions to the latter and it did not work. I did not have a bowel movement until 11 hours after the first dose. My doctor had to abort the colonoscopy. We are going to use a different prep next time. MoviPrep really tastes horrible also. It took three days for MoviPrep to clear out of my system and for me to have a solid bowel movement."


"I have had Implanon for 3 weeks now. Approximately 2 and a half weeks after insertion, I got my period. Very light for four days. This would make it a week and a half early- something common for me even on the pill, but never an issue before I started birth control altogether. Aside from that, no real side effects. I have put on weight but I haven't been eating well, so I'm doubting it's Implanon. I love the freedom of being worry free and having no pill to remember. Assuming I don't get crazy periods within the next few months, I doubt I'll have it removed. No mood swings, no nausea, no anything. My face DOES look a little bit rounded, though, which is strange."


"I have used this product sporadically for the past 8 years and have always achieved outstanding results. Upon application there is a slight burning sensation but then immediate relief from the burning and itching sensations. The foam can be somewhat messy and fill the syringe SLOWLY with small bursts until it expands to the fill line. I have overflowed the syringe when first starting to use this product when not experienced with regulating the "bursts". I use this in conjunction with Hydrocortisone Cream 2.5% and my condition decreases within 3 days on average. Although we have had a very humid, hot summer and dietary changes has caused an extreme outbreak this year and it is taking longer than usual to cure."


"Had a similar situation as the lady Nick name Luz. I collapsed at Wal-Mart.  I didn't know I was pregnant until the doctors said I had a miscarriage. I also used Plan B"


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


"My doctor gave me a sample of Symbicort last week. Before I began taking it , I got on this site to see what experiences others have had with it. I was very concerned because many of the side effects I read about made me think twice about taking it at all. I did notice that a few people were taking 2 puffs , twice a day. So I figured maybe that might be too much. So I am going to try 1 puff , once a day , at approximately the same time every day and see how it goes. Last night was the first time I used it - and it DID work. Slept thru the night without using my inhaler at all. Feel pretty good this morning , and still have not used my rescue inhaler. So far , so good. But we'll see in a couple of weeks."


"This medicine worked the first time on me with no problems. The second time I used this I had a severe reaction which caused very low blood pressure, I could not feel my pulse, in which I had to go to a Dr. I now am allergic to this medicine. This medication works very well if you can use it. It works very fast."


"I have two bulging discs L4/L5 and L3/L4 and herniated L5/S1 and pinched nerves. My hydrocodone wasn't enough, I started taking Flexeril twice a day and the pain reduced to almost nothing and the burning down my legs stopped from my pinched nerves. It doesn't last as long as I would like but it makes the day go by a lot easier and is definitely worth taking it."


"So far this is the best birth control I've ever taken and I've tried A LOT! I just finished the first pack and had barely any spotting. Actually super light spotting started last Sunday. My breast did kind of get fuller though. A little tenderness but not nearly as much as I had predicted. I sometimes feel nauseous but it goes away shortly after. I have noticed I'm a bit more tired but other than that there aren't really any side effects. I would advise you to take the pill at the exact same time and take it in the evening. This will minimize the side effects. Hope this helps."


"My boyfriend and I were both being prescribed Suboxone and because of my insurance I had to switch to Zubsolv! The first day of taking Zubsolv I didn't like it but as time went on I truly believe it works so much better for us! The Suboxone used to give me mood swings and a constant urge for more. Zubsolv has my moods in check and the effects last longer I am so glad I gave it a chance!"


"I have to swallow two tablets an hour before I expect motion sickness to occur (getting on a plane, riding in a car, etc.) and it totally works. Doesn't work instantly for me though. I also took this for nausea due to pregnancy and it helped with that too. I highly recommend Bonine!"


"This med gave me horrible chest pain and muscle aches.  My doctor told me to stop immediately. Sure enough, a day after stopping, these ailments went away and have not returned."


"I got it inserted and it was not painful at all. The slight pinch but that was to be expected. I went with skyla bc it's the smallest IUD. And the IUD with the lowest hormones in it. I had it put in July 3rd. It's now November 15th and I haven't had a period since Oct 6th. Kinda freaking out about it but I have heard it can cause you to not have periods after a year of having it."


"This is the first time I have taken Chantix and the first time I have really given an effort to stop smoking and it is working great for me. Not only have I not smoked since my chosen date to stop but I haven't had any side effects except if I don't take it with food I get nausea. I definitely think if you want to stop smoking this is the most effective way than any other."


"I was struggling with major depression and OCD and tried several antidepressants before my endocrine doctor found out I had the gene mutation.  The first dose of Deplin of 15 mg was too much for me and I felt edgy and anxious.  I then tried the 7.5 dosage and honestly felt like myself for the first time in months.  Clarity, energy and focus!  One side effect was headaches and then I went online to MTHFR.net and learned I needed to supplement with a few things to feel better.  This has been answer to prayer for me.  I am on 2.5 MG of lexapro and hope to get off of it in the next 6 months.  Wish someone would have told me about this sooner!!"


"This is my first day on Pristiq and I am having the worst side effects. First, I noticed a huge decrease in my appetite. Headache all day, clenched jaw, crying, irritable, a little aggravation. I don't know if I should stick this out or not. I was really hoping that this would help since I suffer from depression, anxiety, and OCD. I don't want to give up."


"I have been on Paxil for a year now. I can honestly say overall it works wonders for my anxiety and stress. However, the weight gain is too much for me to deal with. It is difficult to lose weight on Paxil. I am going to be changing meds soon. If you have no weight issues to begin with or not self conscious of weight gain, give it a try.  This medication is great for its intended purposes."


"I've been using Finacea on and off for many years!!  When I was originally diagnosed with rosacea, the treatment was continuous tetracycline.  A couple years later, it was my opthamologist who prescribed Finacea and the results were almost immediate.  My usual course of treatment is a morning facial wash with a gentle cleaner and then a few dabs of Finacea smoothed into the affected areas. And then there are periods when I don't use it all until I begin to see the initial telltales signs. Recently and years later, I had a flare-up of rosacea-related acne on my cheeks, a new occurence.  My dermatologist placed me on doxycycline and twice-a-day Finacea with excellent results in a matter of a few days.  It's been like a cure for me."


"I have take 25mg twice a day or once a day with good relief. Twice a day is better. As soon as I stop it I get slight panic, but I also feel like I'm not able to concentrate when people are talking. It's a strange feeling and then I get pain in my left ribs, under my arms and left upper back. Then I wonder if I'm going to faint or have a heart attack. It's a constant roller-coaster of high and low adrenaline. A small dose of beta blocker worked well for anxiety, but when you are sick, you need a little adrenaline to combat inflammation. It's an awful balancing act."


"I must say I really like this pill vs all the others I've tried. I was on minastrin before switching to this. I gained 26lbs on the minastrin. It also effected my mood terribly. I was mad and angry all the time. I've been on lo loestrin for about 3 months and I love it! I've already lost almost all the weight I gained and no mood swings!!! I also don't have a period on this pill. That's a big bonus! Not every person responds to the pill the same but I'm so glad my OB have me this."


"I hate this medicine. Took for 10 days and did get my period the last day. 1st day was light but since than its been cramps that I can barely move & heavy heavy bleeding. On day 6 and in the last 24 hrs, I've leaked 3xs. Once was in an hr period from the last leak. It causes your period but be warned, it can be horrible. Was told to expect heavy but this is rediculous right now. On top of everything I'm 27 & having hot flashes from side effects, massive headaches while taking the meds, and pms which I never have."


"Went on the ring two years ago. Was ok with it. No babies. But after about a year I noticed I gained about ten lbs. then my moods got very odd. I hadn't noticed but everyone around me did and thought I was going crazy. Then my hair started falling out. My Dr says that the dosage was too high for me. I switched. But for what it's worth no babies in two years so there's that."


"We loved it. It did all they say it would.It helped us with getting the sinus pain gonne fast and helped us feeling better as soon as we took one pills. this is an amazing pill that helps when u feel like crap thanks to sinus congestion and pain."


"I've been using Differin 0.1 for years now (over 10 years) and swear by it. It keeps big cytic acne from breakout too badly / clears up blemishes and marks fast and most importantly prevents from them occuring in the first place. I have also read its anti-aging... I'm 33 now and people think I'm 26."


"I absolutely hate this birth control. I have only been taking it for one week and already I'm experiencing bleeding. I have taken the pill at the same time every day (I have my alarm set) so I'm not sure of why I'm already bleeding. I'm not cramping so I suspect that this is what is referrred to as breakthrough bleeding. I don't know for how long I will bleed as I've already had my monthly cycle for this month prior to starting the pill. I have yet to experience any other symptoms related to the pill that I know of but I will definitely switch to another pill as soon as possible. Some may be totally unphased with irregular bleeding but I'm not."


"I was using Epiduo for a month with great results. This summer I planned a trip to Europe for 5 weeks. I forgot to pack my Epiduo so I resolved in walking in a pharmacy and asking for Epiduo. To my suprise it was not availble but the pharmacist checked it on the net and on the spot he mixed the old fashion way Epiduo with a small variation. He mixed 4% benzoyl peroxide. Voila much more effective in resolving mount Vezuvius on my face. So Epiduo works but Epiduo and twice the benzoyl peroxide works wonders. He did though warn me of dryness and protection from sun which I did take care of."


"I have suffered with reoccurring bladder infections or symptoms of bladder infections for the past 7 years without any relief up until this past April 2014 when I was referred to a specialist by my urologist who himself could not help me.  I was prescribed Keflex by this specialist and it has seemed to be the miracle I have been needing up until a month ago when my symptoms reappeared.  Not sure if my body has become immune to the Keflex but I am back suffering with on again off again symptoms making my life miserable."


"I started this medication on 2/18/2017 at a starting weight of 323 lbs (I'm 5'11"). I've tried and tried to lose weight and it just was not happening. My doctor prescribed me this medication and put me on a strict 1600 calorie diet. So far I have lost 12 lbs in my 14 days on this medication. I do work out everyday and lift weights as well. If you combine a good diet and exercise with this medication I believe it most definitely will pay off."


"This medicine helps! I would say it knocks the pain down of a migraine from a 10 to a 3 very quickly. Not sure what I would do without it."


"I find it has helped far more than any other medicine. It does not seem to have many side effects as the others."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I had PMDD extremely bad every month for at least 2- 3 weeks out of the month. Since I've been taking Beyaz I have no more symptoms of PMDD. My periods were irregular now they are on time every month. I am so happy with this birth control. I would recommend it to anyone. Especially if you have PMDD."


"Felt like a fart but it was a shart. Saw double, can't sleep, loss appetite , dizzy, chest pains my chest felt heavy, it did make my head forget about the pain but it was still there. Bilateral spinal muscles where in spasm. T12 L1 and 2. problem. Never took this drug ever and wont ever again. Nauseated diarrhea bile colored. I took half the pill .  It is nothing like motrin. Flexaril is a safer medication less likely to shart your pants.  But took what was prescribed never heard of this drug before."


"I have been taking Belviq for 6 weeks and have lost 21 pounds, or 8.6%!

Food tastes great, I just eat less. I have had no side effects other than I sleep better at night. This has been a pretty easy diet, food cravings and late night snacking are gone!"


"I just started the patch today and I felt so nauseous from it being on my abdomen that I had to move it to my arm. I ended up having to put a new patch on because the first one got ruined when I took it off"


"Had ache in back/side under rib, remembered that it was symptom of kidney infection, left urine sample at doctor's office immediately, test was positive for infection, doctor (who knows me well) called in this antibiotic and I began making immediate progress within 24 hours.  I was careful to take the full course of the medicine without stopping."


"I've been on Nora-Be for about a year now and there are a few things I can say. The first one is I am so happy to have found a birth control that (for me) has very little negative side effects. With that being said there are two things I've noticed a few months into taking this, one is I have noticed an increase in pimples and my skin has gotten a bit more oily and the second one is my body hair (underarms, legs especially) seems to be growing much faster. All in all these side effects barely bother me in comparison with what I've had to deal with on other birth controls."


"Had colonoscopy yesterday. I am sensitive to most meds and have never had any type of anesthesia in my 66 years. This worked beautifully with no lingering effects. Was awake within 3 minutes of cessation of anesthesia administration and out of the hospital within 15 minutes of that time. Dressed myself with no assistance. Went to lunch under my own power. This is day after with no negative symptoms of any type."


"Worked very quickly and helped very much. Strained a muscle in my rib coughing. This stuff is a life saver."


"Before the implant I suffered from GAD and Panic Disorder. Once I got that under control through Zoloft, I decided I wanted a effective birth control I wouldn't have to think about taking everyday. My doctor told me Implanon was the best option and I was eager to get it inserted. Ever since I've had Implanon inserted, my anxiety became worse than ever. I can't wait to get this thing out of me! If you suffer from any type of anxiety or depression, DO  NOT get the implant!"


"Have been using this for about 3 months intermittently for fibro. It definitely helps that which is brilliant. The downside is I have just been released from hospital after 5 days of profuse bleeding. Ulcers??? I wasn't aware I had any. I urge caution with this medication"


"I noticed pretty good results within two weeks- my general anxiety lowered significantly, but I still get frequent panic attacks."


"Ok I had mine inserted six weeks after my daughter was born Nov 2012. When it was inserted it hurt like heck. I had some cramping and bleeding nothing bad tho. I loved it until Easter 2013 I had one breast swell it was a small cyst. And no period for six months well of course I didn't think it was my mirena. Then my period suddenly came back. I have suffered a miscarriage. I have been so moody, cramps awful cramps, low sex drive my poor husband, breast swelling and tenderness again, cysts on both ovaries, hair loss, depression. I'm getting this thing yanked as soon as possible. And going back on the pill. I hate it! Do not recommend for anyone!"


"I've been taking Saxagliptin for about 10 days. Ive noticed side and back aches, It is annoying and it feels like kidney pain. I've been doing pretty well with diabetes before this prescription so I will discontinue use."


"Only been on 10mg for a week now but already feeling the benefits and about to begin 20mg. The only downside is that it did give me anxiety on one particular day that I was extremely stressed out and depressed and I felt somewhat on edge, hostile, aggressive, anxious. But now I feel totally euphoric and my social anxiety has decreased significantly and I expect it to continue to get even better. I also have post traumatic stress disorder from a car accident. I have noticed a small amount of improvement so far but not much. Will comment again perhaps in 1 month to let you all know how its going."


"In January 2014, I was diagnosed (after having an endoscopy and colonoscopy) with Acid Reflux and severe IBS. They put me on the usual PPI inhibitors and acid reducers. Two months later, I was in the ER with severe gastritis. The doctor ultimately concluded that some of the erosive spots in my stomach had turned into a stress ulcer (I'm a PhD student). He prescribed sucraflate. I cannot express enough gratitude in being prescribed this. After taking it for about three months, I was almost GERD, Ulcer, IBS free. So, I stopped taking it. For about 8 months I was fine, but some of my symptoms have started to reappear. Again, as soon as I took the sucraflate, I had almost immediate relief! If nothing works, take Sucraflate."


"I love this birth control! I previously had the implanon bc in my arm, and it caused really bad acne and I always had really bad cramps even though I didn't have a period. I've been on zarah for about 3 months no and the only complaint is that I get weird cramps occasionally. Other than that my skin is completely clear (and I've struggled with acne for a few years now), my sex drive has actually increased, and I haven't gained any weight. I've always been moody around my period so idk if it's affected that much because it's always different. Overall I definitely recommend!!"


"I have been on Elavil for 3 months now and it has changed my life.  Immediately before starting the medication, I had dizziness, nausea, jaw pain and migraine like headaches with light sensitivity for 3 solid months.  I had suffered with these headaches since my early 20's but I had never had one long nonstop migraine for 3 months before.  I have only had the beginnings of one small migraine (flashing lights) in the past few months and that correlated with missing a dose of the Elavil the previous night.  I take one 25mg tablet at bedtime for migraine prevention.  I sleep well, feel great and my mood is elevated, all because I don't have those debilitating headaches which were ruining my life."


"I gave this a 3 because I did get a lil more sleep but I still have a hacking wet cough I have bronchitis and a URI I've had no side effects on the 100mg I take"


"If I may start out saying that oxymorphone (Opana ER) is AMAZING! I have two bulged disc's in lumbar region of back. Had a disc in the sacrum region of back replaced 2 yrs ago. I have disc degeneration disease. I have a synovial cyst on my spine. And also have arthritis in my hips, knees and feet. I am only 37 yrs old. Many a doctor has said I was too young to be in this bad a shape! I am due for spinal fusion in my lower lumbar reg in a month. All this pain which I might add is unbearable at times. I can't sit or stand for more than 10 minutes at a time. Sleep is limited. Maybe 4 to 6 hrs. I could not function if it weren't for oxymorphone! It is a wonder medicine. I thank God and my pain management doc for it everyday! I take 30mg 2 daily. Oxycodone10 5x."


"Didn't really help mynpain"


"I am 18 and have never gave birth and was previously on the pill. I got mirena almost a month ago. My gynecologist gave me misoprostol to take 3 hours before the procedure and 600 mg of ibuprofen. The insertion was extremely painful for me, but the procedure only took about 10 minutes. After the procedure I had some cramping and a brown discharge for the rest of the day. The next day I woke up and felt great. Ever since I have not had any problems except for some bleeding the first 2 weeks which is normal and easily controlled by using a light pad. The insertion was very painful, but SO worth not worrying and about getting pregnant and taking the pill perfectly. If you can take a day of pain I recommend this full heartily. Mirena is awesome"


"I have been taking this medication for 6 months and have gained 30lbs. It hasn't really helped my Raynaud's at all."


"I've had Nexplanon for 2 months now. I was really worried about all the side effects I read, but I took the risk anyway. I was mostly worried about weight gain. So far, I haven't had any issues with that. I've actually lost weight. My biggest side effect is how much it affects my emotions. It is crazy out of control. I haven't had much issue with periods. I got a really heavy one for 7 days straight a couple weeks after I got it in. Then a month later a very light/spotty one for about a week. I'm hoping the periods will go away all together! There is also a lot of nausea for me. But with all of that aside, its perfect. I'm hoping the side effects will calm down soon. I would definitely recommend it."


"1 tablet at 10 woke up at 3 a.m with severe cramping. Which led to nausea, sweaty profusely and vomiting on the bathroom floor. To follow was the explosive diarrhea for the next hour. Gentle and predictable its says it on the box. NOT!! I do not recommend. I was experiencing constipation due to my prenatal pills. Stay away mama's to be!"


"I am 53. I am very active with sports.  Sadly for the last two years I have terrible pain and I have extreme difficulty walking,  climbing stairs or even sitting down on the loo or as it is called in America-  trying to sit on the toilet seat. Two days ago I went to see a Doctor here in Italy and she prescribed this drug- 200 mg once a day.  I took it yesterday for the first time and woke up the next day feeling like my old self-  ready to rule the world!  I went to the Park with my 12 month old puppy and I enjoyed playing with him and I had no problem at all walking up the 3 flights of stairs to our home.  This drug is a great."


"Generess Fe is my very first birth control, and I'm in the middle of my second pack. I can say it's a good medication. Although the side effects are pretty noticeable. I get extremely sensitive, sad, big cry baby for stupid reasons. Breast tenderness,  a lot of spotting on the 1st month. I was feeling a little more thick lately, I asked my boyfriend and he said I had gained a little bit of weight. And looking back I have been eating a lot of junk so it increases your appetite. Your period becomes light. My first period lasted 3 days. And before the birth control I had a crazy heavy period. So it might feel scary if you used to have a crazy period and suddenly really light, but you're fine. That's how it works. And I'm baby free!"


"I was put on this medication because my prolactin levels were 76 and they retested and they were 54 which was still high and I also have pcos....I have been on cabergoline for 2 weeks and has absolutely NO side effects!!! My cycles have been extremely irregular and I haven't had a period since December 2015 after being on cabergoline for a week my period came out of nowhere! It seems to be doing its job and hopefully it will help me in my journey of trying to conceive!"


"I was prescribed this medication because of the extreme stresses associated with a chronic disabling disease called relapsing polychondritis. It has destroyed all of my joints, cervical spine damage, ataxia, and the loss of everything in my life that I had worked 30 years to obtain. All gone. I am the type of person who is more angry, agitated, infuriated, by the effects of this condition than I am sad or depressed about it. I was also in chronic pain daily too since May of 2012. NO painkillers would help this type of pains. I can NOT take methotrexate, DMARDs, biologics, only prednisone, a great diet, and an occasional NSAID. Then my Doc gave me this. I am so happy at this moment (not) to feel the burning sensations, squeezing, aching, pain."


"Have been on it for 2 months, was getting hot flashed all day long. Night sweats even worse.  With days after starting the medicine, they pretty much stopped!  No more on and off with my fan- sleeping through the night!  And now, I ran out and haven't had it in 5 days (need to call for a refill prescription) and its all BACK. Covers off and on all night long. This REALLY works for hot flashes!"


"First day prescribed (50mg) I did sleep for a little over 8 hours, but was groggy with very blurred vision all day. I also had extreme fatigue and body aches. Night 2 I took 25mg and slept for Less than 4 hours, but only had minor grogginess. I'll take 25mg for a few more nights, but might d/c if side effects remain."


"The first week of Byetta 5mcg dose, no side effects, 6 pound weight loss but high blood glucose numbers. My Endocrinologist suggested I try going up to the 10mcg dose. nausea, gas, stomach upset and constipation. I ended up in bed most afternoons. Numbers are now good and I've lost another 4 pounds. Too much lifestyle impairment due to side effects so I went back to the lower dose, still having stomach aches and constipation. I'm giving it time, but so far this has been an uncomfortable experience."


"Okay y'all .. I was not prepared . I'm 23 years old & 24 weeks pregnant & this is my first YI so I call my OB and she says to use Monistat (either the 3 day or 7 , my choice) so I'm like let's get this show on the road . When I say I was not prepared , I mean I have NEVER experienced something like this in my life . The insert was fine , it's like a tampon . Inject the cream , take out the inserter and then  literally as I am standing up and pulling on my undies , all of a sudden my vagina turns into a raging ball of fire . I took a shower at midnight & sat there for 20 minutes trying to  rinse it . It just didn't seem to get any better now I'm laying down . Needless to say I'll be calling my OB in the morning ."


"I came off this drug 6 days ago by forgetting to re-order over a public holiday. My general breathing actually improved (my wife would verify this). I will discuss with my doctor at our next meeting."


"Was feeling depressed, tired all the time and became extremely sore in leg muscles, sex-drive low.
I was only 26 at the time this all began. Had seen several doctors over next 2 years and they kept treating me with depression medication. Finally a doctor tested my testosterone levels and it was 165, started January 2008 on testosterone shot 200mg ever 2 weeks. Worked great for 8 months my levels came up to 550 was feeling good. I began to get very tired and sore again in August 2008, my doctor switched me to Androgel and immediately began to feel better. I used Androgel over a year now my strength is back, sex drive is awesome, mood better and noticing muscle tone getting larger. Just recently had levels checked and came back high 1234 still using Androgel."


"I have been taking Necon 1/35 for almost 3 months and it's effective. The first month, I experienced cramps in my thighs, slight fatigue and mood swings; these symptoms disappeared after the first month."


"LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!  I have been on Contrave for approx 7 weeks.  I am now down 20lbs!!!!!  I feel great.  My energy is definitely increased.  My pain in my knees and hips have improved GREATLY!  Only side effect is the sweating and I am always HOT!  No nausea, stomach problems, no mood changes....I haven't felt this good in a long time."


"I have severe small nerve fiber disease. Besides taking Neurontin, I was prescribed Cymbalta. Cymbalta took away the burning pains I was having at night on my feet. I LOVE it. I no longer feel like someone put gas on my feet and set them on fire."


"My husband had just got a vasectomy, but there is a period of time where men are still fertile and we hadn't been cleared yet for zero sperm count. We had a few drinks and forgot to use protection. We knew I had either already ovulated or was about to ovulate at the time of our oops. The next day I took the pill and within a few hours I could tell it was taking effect. I got a lot of cramps on one side which kept occurring periodically for the two weeks after. I had some dizziness and extreme fatigue for a few days. The side effects were all listed on the package though. I think since I took the pill right around my fertile time it didn't mess up my cycle much. I started right on the day I was supposed to exactly two weeks after our oops."


"I had been taking intuniv for a week at 10mg. 32 year old female, for add. Yesterday out of the blue at night I started getting brain zaps. My anxiety got so high I felt my heart was going to explode. I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin. It was an utter nightmare and I ended up in the ER. I was afraid I was losing touch with reality. I'm still feeling anxious now too. I am never touching this med again. I just hope it gets out of my system soon. I can't believe they give it to kids. I almost went psychotic! It was a nightmare drug for me. Be careful please. Even at a low dose it can cause a nasty reaction. I'm also bipolar so that might have played a role in it too."


"I have been taking Soma for 14 years and Dr's have tried giving me other muscle relaxants that do not work. When I first started taking them I felt relief very fast. My script is for 4 a day. I usually take 2 at bedtime and they give me the rest I need. They are great for leg cramps and any other muscle problems you may have. They have never made me feel weird or out of it. They don't make me feel drowsy the next day. If I am having a really bad day I will take one mid morning and then in the late afternoon. These work the best and I am not addicted to them."


"I have been taking Anastrozole for 2 years and just in the past 3 months have I had any side effects. All of a sudden my knees ache, I had to have shots in my wrist and thumbs for tendinitis. I exercise regularly and could not figure out why this was happening until I researched the side effects. Has anyone tried Letrozole? Same side effects? I am only 53 and not really wanting to feel like I am 90. I am grateful to be alive but what are the real chances that this will re-occur? Right now I am on Anastrozole that is preventing recurrence, that caused tendonitis and trigger thumbs and was given Meloxicam for painful joints, so when does the medications end? So frustrated. Thankful for your input."


"Started with 20mg then after around 45 days increased to 40.
Dry mouth, fatigue, lightheadeness, increased anxiety, headaches, were common at first, however in time slowly decreased. I now have good day time energy, I'm sleeping well at night. Confidence level is becoming stronger.
I pray the next few weeks at 40 mg takes me to were I want to be. So far, so good!"


"I started using Depovera as my birthcontrol and I was in it for 2 years plus.  I had no side effects until I gained so much weight the last year I was 120 lbs and now I'm at 150 lbs . I will never go back to it. So I switched to the patch and same I have no bad side effects yet. I've been on it for over a year, my weight has gone down I'm down to
140lbs which is hard to loose weight for us girls . My breast sized increased , my thighs and butt increased good plus :) I've never had problem with acne with neither birth controls . My mood swings are bad here and there . I love how my period is regular now and I know when it's coming. p"


"I really like Solodyn as my acne treatment.  I have been using this medication since march 2015 but after a couple months of using it my acne disappeared. I was on proactive for 2 years but no luck. Solodyn is truly a great antibiotic pill for acne. Please do yourself a huge favor and try it! Everyone deserves to go through life with clean skin! God bless"


"I been taking Linzess going to be a month. It hasn't work on me, just gives me more Ga.s No it  doesn't make me go to bathroom "Sad Momy""


"The best anti-depressant I have ever experienced, I couldn't sleep longer than 5 to 6 hours a night of broken sleep, now I average 8 hours of fit full sleep. When things don't go my way now I simply shrug my shoulders, before I thought the World was conspiring against me. The drug seemed to work for me almost instantly, didn't take me the normal 4 weeks before I noticed an improvement in my mental well-being. Can't thank the creators enough. Big ups!!"


"At first, the side effects were minimal, but starting around the 2nd-week depression slowly crept up and made me super miserable. I've switched to Ortho Cylen and feel much better."


"I am a 35 year old woman who has tried hundreds of medications to help my chronic diarrhea.  I have had multiple diagnosis depending upon the doctor I saw.  They ranged from Crohn's, ulcerative Colitis, to Inflammatory Bowel Disease, to severe Irritable bowel syndrome, etc.  I have been tested for everything.  The only medication that has given me any relief and allows me work and keep going on with my daily activities is Paregoric.  If this medication at some point goes off the market, my only alternative will be to file for medical disability and be a shut in.  It is very scary and sad for me to that this may happen.  This medication has given me the quality of life I need, to keep going everyday.  "


"Reading these reviews is so disheartening. I've been taking apri for over 5 years now. Suddenly over the past 6 months my acne is terrible and I get menstrual migraines. Clearly I haven't done my research. I am stopping tomorrow. Do not take this pill."


"I was recently diagnosed with Chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) Type 1/RSDS in my right foot, and the following regimen has alleviated most of my symptoms:

- Gabapentin: 600 mg, 3x/daily
- Tramadol (Ultram) ER: 200 mg/daily
- Tylenol: 500 mg, 3x/daily; Tylenol potentiates the effectiveness of tramadol, and the combination thereof has proven efficacy in the relief of neuropathic pain.
- Ketoprofen ER: 200 mg daily; they say all NSAIDs are alike, but for me, ketoprofen is the most efficacious.  It also treats a wider range of pain conditions than naproxen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, meloxicam, etc.
- Voltaren Gel 1% and Aspercreme with Lidocaine (4%): As needed.  On the occasional day when pain is refractory towards my oral regimen, I apply these two topical analgesics."


"I've had nexplanon since August 2014. I had a period for a few months, which was annoying! Then I started to have normal to heavy periods and I never knew when they would come. But, I knew when I was about to start a period. I started breaking out EVERYWHERE! I would get headaches, increased appetite, which made me gain weight, I would have mood swings and not feel like myself, and I would even get tender breast and nausea. When I'm bleeding, it last for up to 10 days and it's super heavy. I never know when it'll end and I never know when it'll start. I even spot between periods. This birth control SUCKS! And I would never recommend it to anyone. The only good thing about it is not getting pregnant. I cannot wait to get it removed!"


"It only works about 1/2 the time.  When it does work, I feel refreshed when I awaken.  I don't understand why it doesn't work for me every time."


"I am on 30 mg of Cymbalta. I have been taking it for four months now.  I feel a lot better then I did before starting the medication.  I am grateful for it.  I definitely still have bad days like anybody else.  But I give credit to Cymbalta for my good days."


"Love this medicine, works great with less side effects of regular Suboxone!  Also with discount program I am saving $$$ very happy my Dr. told me about it."


"Stelara very effective, have been on it for 3 years and can lengthen time between injections i.e. 16 weeks without too much flare up. Have experienced chronic rhinitis and symptoms of depression as side effects."


"Ok ladies, your obviously on here for a reason. I've used this pill a few times and I'm still not a mom! So this pill WORKS! "


"I absolutely recommend Implanon. I am actually on my 4th year now (had my first one replaced in December) and have no complaints. I have had a regular period the last 3 1/2 years, the procedure (put in and removed) was a simple out-patient procedure with minimal pain, haven't gained any weight, long lasting protection, don't have to remember to take it, and the most important is that it is doing it's job!"


"Took this for a major staph infection outbreak on the buttocks, back of thighs, and upper back/neck area. And maybe even on the sides of my face. Prescription was for 7 days, 2 pills 2x daily. Began to clear in two days. Took my last dose this evening and the infection is diminished. I am quite pleased and did not have any side effects that are noteworthy, just that I do not have regular bowel motions now, but will get some acidopholis back in my system and that should be taken care of. I hope I never have this type of infection again."


"I was given Levaquin for a persistent sinus infection. By the time I saw the doctor it was almost two months of sinus problems that were just getting worse. I was put on a 14 day regimen. For me, Levaquin worked. It took about 8 days for the sinus pain to start going away, and another 7-8 days for complete clear up of the infection (no runny nose, no sinus pain around the eyes, etc.). I heard some people have much quicker turn-around times for getting better, but at least it worked. I had no side-effects at all, not even upset stomach, like I get with other antibiotics."


"Keeps on working great after using for 2 years."


"Before I started taking this for nightmares, I used to have a bad case of raynaud's syndrome. After I started taking it the nightmares went away for a while but then i built up some kind of tolerance for them, however the raynaud's is still looking really good i havent had any issues with that."


"I switched to this pill from Mirena due to severe cystic acne (from the Mirena). The last pill I had taken was Yaz, which I did great with. After my first month on Microgestin Fe, my cystic acne started clearing up. The first couple days I was nauseous, but that went away. Taking it right before bed helps. I've been on it for about 3 months now and I've gained about 10 lbs. I'm the heaviest I've ever been! I'm always hungry and have developed an intense sweet tooth! My breasts did get larger. I'm a 34 C, and I can still wear the same bra size, they just look fuller. No extra sensitivity with them, though. My libido didn't really change. Just my weight."


"Wonderful medicine. I was extremely sick, went 20 times to the bathroom in 8 to 9 hours, was really sick, finally gave in to start this medicine with the rest I had been taking. Within 5 hours everything slowed down. I felt like a new person. But sad to say it was short lived. I started reacting 2 to three days in and the reactions got worse. Had to stop taking it."


"Using Veltin gel every night for about a week now. I put on Cereve lotion first than apply a small amount. So far it has been working great. All the smaller bumps disappeared and the larger ones decreased dramatically. I have even had comments that my skin is looking great. I'm excited to see the long term results, but so far so good."


"This medicine is great for sleep and helping anxiety, but if you have responsibilities, work, school, kids, ANYTHING, then be prepared. I am only on 100mg and although I feel calmer and not so irritable, I just feel sort of dozed and no motivation to do anything, not even simple things like taking a shower or making something to eat.  I woke up this morning needing to go to the bathroom and it seemed like an overwhelming task and I was stumbling around like when you are drunk.  If you don't have to work or answer to anyone then it's fine because you can just space out and not have such negative emotions and feel better."


"I wouldn't wish this medicine on my worst enemy. There are other major issues with this medicine than the horrific uptake and withdrawal symptoms.  If I missed one single dose of this medication, it made me crazy. Mood swings, dizziness, suicidal thoughts, blurry vision, and more. The only reason I gave it a 2 was because if you're PERFECT at taking your medication, then it might work for you. Maybe. But be ready for the withdrawals because it was the worst few weeks of my life."


"First time with BV, although I had no discharge or odor, so I couldn't get the diagnosis really quickly.  Anyhow, I have been taking this drug (Metronidazole) with milk and a little food twice a day and have no crazy side effects that everyone else seems to have.  Sure, it tastes bad, but I can't believe I didn't get the nausea like so many others, considering I feel like I have a wimpy body when it comes to everything else.  It's been fine in this case, and on day 4 I feel I'm about 99 percent better."


"This burns sooooooooooo bad when you put it in "


"This stuff is like magic. I have never been as happy or self actualized as I am now. I can do things I could never do before. No side effects that matter."


"I have tried doc-u-lace and colace and they never worked for me. This works, if you are really stopped up (think at least 2-3 days), take almost the whole cup (3-4tbsp.), if it doesn't work after about 12-28 hrs, take another 2-3 tbsp."


"I'm 31 years old. Had mild acne for years. Tried many OTC kits and prescription topicals. Nautropathic to Allopathic. I am a very healthy vegetarian, eat whole foods diet. Nothing helped.  Most breakouts were under my chin or around my jaw. I was against the idea of taking a BCP for acne.  I hated the idea of putting something artificial into my body.  I am so happy that I gave in.  My face was totally clear within 2 weeks.  No negative side effects. have finished 2 packs.  Mild nausea and headaches the first week."


"I am taking this medicine, and today is day  #5 and had insomnia (never had before). I have a bitter taste and only once had heart palpitation. I am worried about the liver effect, hope no damage or bad effects.
Regarding sinus infection, I had that few years ago, and for 6 months was suffering really badly, being on antibiotics three times and no effect. There was a blockage of 90% of right side of the sinus. My doctor scheduled me for a surgery (in two months time). Went on a beach vacation. My last hope was to experiment with ocean water. Jumping in ocean water 25-50 times/day and nasal rinsing ocean water 50-80 times/d for 7 days was miracle for me. Before surgery consultation I had a CT done that showed everything cleared up, no surgery needed."


"Helped me with my blood sugar levels and I lost 10 lbs. in a month. Down side, horrible stomach pain 24/7, nausea and diarrhea.  Doctor is changing my medicines."


"I started taking birth control at 18 years old, I am now 25. I was on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen for about 5 years, did great on it. Due to insurance I had to switch to Trinessa, heavier periods and more mood swings followed. Now the pharmacy gave my Tri-Sprintec because they don't carry Trinessa. I am on day 8 and am getting more nauseous by the day. The Pharmacist assured me that Trinessa and Tri-Sprintec are the exact same medicines, just made by two different manufacturers, but I have never felt so nauseous in my life. I know pregnancy is not even a consideration because my period just ended the week I started taking the Tri-Sprintec. I will be switching back to Trinessa next month, no matter the cost! Hope this helps someone with similar situation!"


"Highly effective! As any sufferer knows, night time is the most crucial time. I no longer fear waking up in a panic gasping for air as the nasal passages swell shut. (In a deep sleep, I have learned that brain creates nightmares to wake you up!) In addition to night time relief, I am more focused at the office as a software engineer that may sit behind a computer for up to 12 hours a day.I look foward now to both sleep and work."


"Cirpo gave me severe nerve pain in my neck and head less than 24 hours after starting the medication."


"OK if you are considering getting an IUD inserted & are scared,don't be!  All of these women are putting out horror stories! I am 23,never had kids, and I've only received a pap once! Insertion is not as painful as everyone says! Yes it hurt, but was it was completely bearable. It was a sharp pain & some pressure for about 2 mins. I got it on on Monday & it's Wednesday & all I can say is I've stopped my terrible bleeding ! I did bleed the first day & have cramps & I'm currently still a bit crampy but I also have stomach issues so I'm more sensitive than most! It's not that bad! Of course getting something inserted in your uterus isn't a day at the park, but its not like you're going to die of pain! Its a few days of not being comfortable for 5 years of worry free BC!"


"Smoker for 53 years at pack a day. I am now on my 10th day of Chantix. The first 2 days I could'nt sleep. That went away, but when the dose increased on day 4 my stomach was always hurting. I took the pills right before I ate but still made my stomach hurt really bad and couldn't eat. The last couple of days I have waited to take the pill until after I finish my meal and that seems to have helped greatly. I smoked my last 1/2 cigarette this morning and would love to have one now at 1:00 pm. I have noticed that my cravings are reduced and have smoked only about 3 cigs a day for the past week. This is my last hope so I will stay with the Chantix untill the program is done. I didn't really want to quit but I knew my health depends on it."


"My PM MD gave me samples after being constantly constipated for 2 years. Post L5-S1 disc replacement - 50mcg/hr q72h of Fentanyl and 10mg Oxycodone 6x day. The 1st time you take Movantik make sure you take it on a day off from work! I took it on a weekend, first thing in AM as the instructions say (1h before your 1st meal) and had a BM approx 4hrs later. I strongly suggest taking a stool softener - the BM was so wide from sitting in my intestines that I cut myself while going and bled (awful feeling). I tried taking every other day but gave me nausea the day of taking it and usually the day after, very painful cramping before during and after taking the pill and having a BM, and dec appetite. Will try Relistor inj next."


"I'm 21 years of age and up to now, I've been taking 20 mg for the past 9 months. Since I was 16 or so I've suffered from, at least in the beginning what some may call 'smiling' depression, and what followed was chronic depression in my 20s. At 17-18 years of age I  participated in cognitive behavioural therapy (coping mechanisms).
I suffered frequent panic / anxiety attacks, suicidal thoughts, etc.
19-21 went to college. Chronic depression hit hard and they put me on 20 mg Paxil. I have never felt better in my life. Usually it is difficult to realise when one is in such a state, and now that I can see things "clearly", I've excelled in school and in other social conditions.
In Europe, the Gov't produces Paxil without a brand name. Cheap."


"Like night and day. My Wife Loves my change in moods. I have also been able to stay on tasks 100% better."


"I went on Orsythia to try co control my relatively severe PMDD. I'd read that it gave people nausea, which was par for the course of most birth controls, but this was extreme. I couldn't eat anything except for maybe one small meal a day in the morning and a protein shake before I went to bed. As someone with a history of disordered eating, this was scary to me. Then, I had a pretty extreme jump in my anxiety levels, like to the point that I was having at least one panic attack a day. I finally got off of it and within days people said I was back to acting like myself instead of an anxious zombie. Do not recommend."

"I wanted so badly to like this AP but after giving it a trial of two weeks I had to discontinue.  The good: lost my appetite and lost a few pounds   The bad: feeling wired with bouts of extreme agitation every day."


"Works great for anxiety."


"I had a bad time with this drug. It worked on my mood, but whenever I stood up, I got dizzy. I fell down the stairs once. Plus even with insurance, it's really expensive."


"I love Skyla. Since I got Skyla 10 months ago I have never had to worry about being pregnant. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex and he doesnt pull out or anything 4-5x a week and I NEVER have to worry about the effectiveness. Getting Skyla inserted was nothing... I took a few advils and a painkilller before insertion because I was so scared it was going to hurt, but it felt like mild discomfort and pressure for a few seconds. The worst part is the spotting. I spotted for about 2 months straight after I got it and still spot sometimes but my periods are short and few and far between. im occasionally very emotional (once a month). I get random cramps sometimes but its not bad given how effective this is with hardly any side effects"


"I received my prescription for Chantix from my Dentist (they can write prescriptions for this due to smoking affecting your teeth). Both my husband an I started it, going on 2 weeks. It's really odd, we have both smoked 20+ years, and literally we don't even want to smell a cigarette. It really just turns you off to smoking. Our appetites have decreased too, which is really weird being that a lot of people increase food intake when they quit smoking. The dreams are kind of crazy (just vivid, and you remember a lot more and details), but nothing scary. Great medication if you don't get some side effects that others have reported. However, DO eat with food, otherwise you will be nauseous (which also curbs your appetite I must say)."


"I have taken birth control for 5 years now and I have tried everything. The pill (horrible experience for me, my body just doesn't like it.. always super sick, puking) which I took for 2 years, then the depo, the nuvaring, etc. I figured I wanted to try the iud. My doctor and I discussed skyla would be best because of its size (I'm super tiny and petite). The procedure was not the best. I took a uterus dialator medication 6 hours prior, took 800 mg of ipbroprohen, and ate breakfast before
I went. It felt like a super sharp pain, was almost in tears. However, it goes quick and the pain turns into small period cramps. After a week I noticed a difference in my body. No nausea, no dizziness. Only symptom is occasional cramp and spotting."


"This is my second yeast infection due to taking antibiotics. Fluconazole is really good. It's only been like 16 hours but I feel so much more relief already. Also drink tons of water and have yogurt, it also helps!"


"I suffer from chronic lower back pain due to scoliosis and arthritis (42 yrs old). I also suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I take Zofran almost daily to deal with the miseries of both lower back pain and digestive issues. I still have regular bouts of vomiting, however, Zofran will stop the pain and nausea that would continue for days and land me in the hospital with an IV delivering morphine into my system to stop the cycle of vomiting, nausea, and severe pain. I love my Zofran! It makes life "livable.""


"I have been taking Seasonique for 2 months to stop the continual cramping from endometriosis and the heavy period. The first month and a half, I didn't have a period, but I have been bleeding for 2 weeks straight, this is my 15th day of bleeding and horrible cramping. I did have energy at first and that was nice, along with the almost non-existent cramping until I started bleeding. I had sex last night and it hurt. I have also experienced hot flashes (the doctor said that this isn't because of this birth control), and I am 36. I have had heart palpitations, weight gain, anxiety, and major mood swings at times."


"I am 25, been on birth control pills for 5 years and decided to try liletta because I was tired of taking pills. I absolutely love my IUD! I wish I had got one years ago! I've had mine now about 3 weeks. Getting it inserted is not as bad as what everybody says it is. Yes it hurts, yes you cramp but it's nothing unbearable. I have been spotting since insertion, but it keeps getting lighter and lighter. I have actually lost a few pounds since getting it inserted. I would highly recommend."


"So much acne all over my neck and chin area. It's horrible, I feel bloated all the time. Going to stop this week, I am acne prone so this just ruined my skin that had been fine for a long time. I do not recommend this birth control for anyone."

"I had 4 rounds of Synvisc-One injections and took the last one May 31,2016 . It's been 5 months and I can barely walk .. I cannot straighten my leg and walk with a limp . These injections are not good. Wish I read reviews 1st. I Do Not recommend these injections at all . Wish I had just had the surgery"


"I am 15 and have had acne since I was about 13. I have tried almost everything to get rid of my acne so when my dermatologist wanted to try  Solodyn I jumped at the offer. It has been a little over a month since I have been on  Solodyn and my acne is just starting to improve. For me the medication caused me to break out worse on my face before it got better so of course with anyone that has acne that's frustrating. Just stick with it and I promise you'll see improvements. I am on Epiduo as well to spot treat acne. Good luck!"


"I am 22 I have had the Mirena since February 2010. My son is 2 I had it put in about 5 months after he was born. My Mirena and I seem to have a love hate relationship. But when I first got the Mirena it was so painful, I cramped and spotted everyday for a months. Then all the bleeding completely stopped after 11 months. Every time I do have sex I bleed for about a week or two normally light for everyday. Also I have no sex drive, have mood swings, constipation, insomina, mild headaches and I used to have perfect clear skin and now I have mild acne, I would like to get the Mirena out because of the bad symptoms I have but it's been almost 2 years and I'm not pregnant so that's great."


"Could not function or hold up my own weight.  Lyrica gave me my life back weeks after starting it.  I had dealt with pain for over 10 years.  I'm 39 and had weight gain but a small amount of a prescribed fluid pill took off pounds quickly."


"If you are having trouble sleeping make sure you take it early in the morning.  It gives me a slight energy boost. If you take it twice a day ask your doctor for a bigger dosage for once a day in the morning.  I take 300 mg XL when I wake up and it is fabulous. . Good luck. I suffer depression so I have taken it for a long time with no relapse."


"So, a coworker told me about adipex and I was super eager to try anything to lose the extra weight. I can't post anything about results yet but I can say this: yesterday was my first dose and I immediately experienced dry mouth which can be lessened w gum chewing/drinking water. Also, I guess related to dry mouth have been told by my boyfriend my breath has a new/different (bad) smell-he's a real charmer. Energy is crazy high! But downside, I haven't slept but 2 hrs in...oh, the last 36 hrs & I have had NO DESIRE to eat. Anything.  It's really hard to force itself to eat when u have no interest. So EXTREME suppressant for me. Hoping just initial adjustment bc I won't be able to continue if have severe insomnia/anorexia.  Will update:)"


"I used this patch for my surgery and I didn't get sick like I normally do after a surgery. I will use it again for sure if I have a procedure or surgery done again. It's so nice to NOT wake up vomiting!"


"I stared Loestrine 24 Fe on Sunday, and stopped on Tuesday. Originally my gyno gave me this to take after a trip to her a week prior due to the fact that I was having an incredibly heavy period and losing so much blood to the point where it was making me anemic. I tried Yaz several years ago and hated it. My gyno told me that most people who don't do well on Yaz will do better on Loestrin, so I was hopeful to finally find a good birth control for me and to also prevent another incredibly heavy period from happening again. I was wrong. The nausea, the most unbearable cramps that would wake me up at night, and the bloating, are HORRIBLE. I now either have break through bleeding or another period on its way and I only took it for 2 days!"


"Excellent Prep for Me: 1)Taste was okay+, 2)16 ounces total (when the water is added - moderately cool) is easy to drink, 3)also easy to drink is the additional water requested within the hour, 4)no side effects for me (no cramps, no chills, no nausea). For me, scheduling the procedure in the afternoon works best - you do a prep at 5:00 pm the evening before and by 11 pm you can sleep. Then next day you do the second prep around 9 pm. Very little disruption of schedule."


"I started with the Requip Starter Kit about 14 years ago.  I remember this medicine being a life-saver. Without Requip/ropinirole, I would have no life - I can't imagine this medication not working for me any longer.  That is something I dread but I have been very, very lucky this medicine saved my quality of life with no side effects!"


"Best med I've been on for my bi-polar.

I also take buspirone

And trazodone for sleep.

I been bi-polar since 21, I think I have taken ever drug there is for this illness. And since my Dr has put me on this drugs I'm finely stable for once in my life."


"I started two days ago.  Definitely notice a change in my hunger big time.  I was told to take two a day but only have needed one.  Haven't weighed yet. But I have been having headaches (tolerable) and feeling tired.  I hope that passes soon."


"I noticed some improvement after a few weeks, but still had some mild discomfort and spotting after intercourse.  I have gained weight (about 5 pounds in a 6-week period), I have headaches, I have hot flashes and some severe leg cramping (not a normal problem even with my line dancing).  I am going to discontinue this drug."


"Fantastic, I couldn't tolerate 2 pills am and 2 pills pm( some insomnia caused by anxiety) So doc kept me at 2 pills am and 1 pill pm and that works fine. Cravings are gone, not turning to food for comfort, and satisfied with normal food portions, This drug is incredible, wish it was around years ago.word of advice, if it causes insomnia, take the pm dose about 7-8pm rather then right before bed.  I do have some minor side effects such as anxiety , headache and stuff, but worth putting up with for a drug as effective as this, If your very overweight and nothing else has helped, Run, don't walk to your doctor and ask him about starting contravene, you'll be glad you did"


"I am 19, And weigh approximately 112-117 lbs. Doctor changed from Microgestion FE 1.5/30 to 1/20 because of weight loss experienced due to diet change (can't eat well in the GA summer heat >.>) Anyway. I began spotting on day 2 and by day 5, I was having a period, I decided to wait another week before calling my doctor, and the bleeding was consistent with a "normal" period. I believe it was too light for me. I was also a bit emotional. Crying jags over the silliest of things. Did not improve acne. Hope this helps."


"I started using Flonase last year and it worked pretty well for me. After using it for a while I'd get nose bleeds and stop using it for a few days and start back. This year is different and seems to have little effect. I do not get 24 hours of relief. I'm lucky if I get 8."


"My doctor prescribed Trazodone for insomnia recently and it has helped better than any of the previous medicines prescribed. Elavil was 1st, but I still woke up throughout the night and in the morning had that groggy feeling in my head that was hard to shake. The Trazodone is working best if I take half before bed and when I wake in the middle of the night, I take the other half of a 50 mg tablet. I was taking Ambien and it made me sleepy enough to doze off, but I would wake up every 2 hours and had trouble falling back to sleep. So far, Trazodone is the best for me for insomnia. I still wake up after a few hours, but can go back to sleep after taking the other half. Hope this helps someone! I know how bad insomnia is!"


"When I got put on it "mild hair loss on scalp" was listed as a possible side effect.  Lost half my hair, was scared to go off of it.  They do not warn that if aleopecia runs in your family DO NOT TAKE THIS!!! Later, of course, they changed it to just say "scalp hair loss" and took out the mild. A year too late.  Have been on it a long time, and now it turns out that half the hair loss I have accrued is permanent. I am 20 years old. Judging from my family, I did not need to lose my hair until at least 35.  This pill gave me migraines, made me anxious, panic attacks, (I have lost so many jobs just because I cry in the middle of a work day), the worst, longest depression I have ever had. For a year and a half I suffered. Now I'm bald. Hate it."


"While I was taking lorazepam I did notice my anxiety and stress level to go down. When I decided to go off of the drug, I experienced horrible anxiety for hours at a time. Because of this I am nervous to take anything else for my anxiety."


"I'm taking contrave for weight loss. It is made up of two medications, one of them being naltrexone. I had no idea I'd get the added benefit of diminished alcohol cravings. I was drinking about 4 fifths of vodka a week. I had given up on ever quitting drinking. I've been in 3 psychiatric hospitals and to rehab once. From the very first dose my constant alcohol cravings have stopped. I haven't drank in over a week. It's amazing. It's worth the initial side effects."


"After I had my gallbladder out, I had bile salts diarrhea - the as-soon-as-you-eat-your-body-fire hoses-it-out sort. Very uncomfortable, and I lost about 40 pounds before my doctor finally prescribed Welchol. I take one at breakfast and one with dinner (just before the meal - not hours, which is very handy), and it has worked miracles. Highly recommend talking to your doctor if after your gallbladder surgery you're trying to live on dry toast."


"Occasionally I can have jittery side effects... not enough that it outweighs the benefits. It's a great medication for those who won't abuse it."


"I Have been on this medication for over a year. Was prescribed 50mg by my doctor due to severe anxiety and panic disorder. I have since not had a single severe panic attack, it also helped a little with my social anxiety. However, it takes longer to reach orgasm and I am only in the mood at nighttime and I have gained 40 pounds and I seem to lack motivation, I also feel like the effects are slowly wearing off so I may have to up the dose slightly or switch to a new medication. I had no initial side effects. I think this medicine works a lot better for anxiety than depression."


"I use these patches on my neck due to nerve and muscle issues. They don't work as an anti-inflammatory. However, they do help with the main caused by my inflamed muscles. I sometimes get tingling in my face and hands and arms that get pretty severe, and these patches relieve most of the pain and/or numbness within 15 minutes. They do, unfortunately, seem to never want to stay on for more than an hour."


"I've been on Belviq for 7 weeks and have lost 17 lbs already! I have hypothyroidism so I have been unable to lose weight despite trying (and sticking with) pretty much every weight loss diet or supplement available. Belviq was a last resort and I am so glad I tried it. I did have some mild headaches the first few days and my brain seemed to be on overdrive. I actually had trouble sleeping initially although most reviewers say they slept better after trying Belviq.

I am also doing the Fast Diet (5:2 diet) 2 non-consecutive days of the week so I do think that helps. I had been doing the Fast Diet 4 months prior to starting Belviq, but only was losing about a 1/2 lb a week.. so the Fast Diet is not very impressive on it's own."


"DOESN'T WORK! Only gave me the worst night of my life. I had the worst cramps ever! It felt like labor and theres no way you can lay/ bend to fix the pain. I was throwing up while  trying to go to the bathroom. Couldn't go to the bathroom, couldn't breathe, sweating, and in  panic. It works for some but  if your not sure if it works for you, don't try it, its not worth it!"


"female adult in 50's with ongoing acne for entire life.  Hormonal acne, tired of having skin problems and to wear make up to cover scars and breakouts.
Have been on this medication for 8 months, no side affects.  100mg per day.
No new breakouts have occurred, but still waiting for previous breakouts to completely clear up. Scarring still obvious and not the beautiful skin that I thought was going to happen. My main goal was to be able to go make-up free....not yet.  I guess the plus is no new breakouts happening.  Will continue for a complete year to see final results."


"This works very well for me, and needless to say is readily available.  The trick is knowing when to take one or when to take two."


"I've had the implant about 2 years. It look me about 3mos of mood swings then I stabled out. My periods & cramps aren't too crazy,Ive gained some weight but im not too sure if it has anything to do with this. The one reason why I am considering getting it removed sooner is because I've lost interest in alot of things,but my SEX DRIVE is completely gone. I've had a pretty healthy sex life. But the past year and a half i believed that something was wrong with me, after reading reviews it settles me knowing that this is a common thing that happens. I miss being intimate, I'm a completely different person and i hope i get back to normal after the removal. Worth a shot though, not pregnant!"


"I've started Savella a couple months ago.  I was previously taking Lyrica and was having weight gain even though I eat really healthy.  I also could not lose weight while taking the Lyrica.  Since taking the Savella, I have lost 8 lbs since October and I'm not eating any differently than before. The Savella does not make me tired and sleepy like the Lyrica did so I'm enjoying more energy (a definite plus for those of us with Fibromyalgia). I have also discontinued Lyrica, Ultram, Cymbalta, Mirapex and Topamax.  I feel that the Savella must be controlling my restless leg syndrome and also helping to control migraines....of course I will keep an eye on these.  My only complaint is the hot flashes and I seem to be always hot."


"I've used this twice now and it has been great! Much better than similar inhalers.  I had pneumonia that was not resolving and this was prescribed, within two days I had dramatic improvement.
2nd time I had sudden asthmatic flare and was crashing not resolving well same thing within 2 days dramatic improvement.

Downside it makes me very shaky for a short duration maybe up to 2 hours. Seems to increase the appetite slightly. Also a slightly foggy headed feel but fades soon.

Mind you this is in conjunction with oral steroids so some effects might be less if the others were removed. I would gladly use this again for a serious asthma flare that was not resolving."


"I had intense periods, heavy bleeding for a whole month with perhaps a day or two reprieve. In addition to that, I had PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which would leave me paralyzed with pain. When I started this BC, my life changed. I went from having 24 day periods bleeding intensely with sometimes over 10 cyst bursts a month to.... nothing.

No periods. One a year for three days maximum. NO cyst bursts. Ever.

Adjusting to it was a fun time (anxiety spikes, however I -have- GAD so take that w a grain of salt), but living without cyst burst or spending money on diaper sized pads made my life so much better.

Although the cost without any sort of insurance will sting, it's so good while it lasts..."


"It helped control the crying to where I was able to control it. I also am able to think clearer, not so many confusing moods"


"When I first got this birth control I didn't get my period for a couple of months but then all of a sudden I started getting heavy periods and bad cramps. I recommend this for anyone else who forgets to take their pills and also I started gaining weight but I lose weight at times also it all depends on your body. I have 2 more years to go with this birth control & I get mood swings at times not all the time. Good luck ladies!"


"Been on Prozac with Zyprexa for over a month now. Can't tell if its helping but my wife thinks it is so I will give it some more time. Just started taking 40mg yesterday. Hopefully that will do it for me. I'm one who has had major depression/anxiety for over 15 years and all my antidepressants failed on me. I will report back in a week or so. "


"21, I got it a week after my second child because  there was no way I was having another,
I've had the implanon for 15 mo. I'm taking it out next week. My periods are all over the place, sometimes I have one for 2 days sometimes I have 2 in a month for a week.
Iv'e gained so much weight, I started eating better and less, I work out for a hour everyday at the gym. And not one single pound has been lost. I can't do it anymore."


"So I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and am taking welbutrin however it wasn't doing enough so I requested to try a stimulant, specifically this one since the ratings are so high and predominately positive. Within minutes of taking 10mg the anxiety was... just wayy too much. I also didn't really know how to feel or what to do. It did help me with focusing...better than almost anything else I've tried. Then after that I went away about a half an hour later I started to feel better after I ate something. The remainder of the day I was so tired I just layed in bed. It works don't get me wrong but I just cant put my faith in an addictive/phisically dependant med. I stopped taking it. Gonna try strattera next"


"My doctor prescribed this to me and it works like wonders. I take 75mg a day. Drink water all the time. Eat 6 small mini healthy meals a day. The only affect I had was dry mouth but went a way in two weeks. It makes me full of energy. I'm never tired at all, and I work long days. When I started I was 280, and I'm done 22 pounds in one month. The big thing is motivation.  We can all do it."


"I was prescribed this at 13 years old after attempting suicide and took it for about 3 years. I didn't feel so depressed, but I didn't feel happy either. I don't think it was all that effective at combating my depression. They kept increasing the dosage to see if more would work better, but it got to the point where the dose would be toxic for my body size so I was switched to a different drug. I am now 20, off all medications and have never felt better."


"I'm an 18 year old girl and I have ADD along with Bipolar/Schizoaffective. Because I have psychotic symptoms, the highest dose of Adderall I can take is 30mg. My problem is, it doesn't keep me focused more then 3 hours or so because the dose is low and even though it's a low dose, I can't seem to eat at all. I've been struggling with my weight for a while due to hyperthyroidism. I'm 5'00 and 89-95 lbs. my goal weight is 100. I can't afford to lose more weight. The risks are outweighing the very minimal benefits."


"1 month mark and 19 lbs down. It is working. Contrave costs $70 with their discount code. Insurance does not cover it. Sign up with Conrave online AND use free "Scaledown" membership.  Scaledown will send you a free digital scale that sends weight results wirelessly to program. Then you track your progress online or by mobile. Using both I have lost just under a pound every day. Regarding the side effects. Constipation. If you already are someone with constipation problem it won't make it any better. Increase the leafy greens. I lost my habitual need for coffee, iced coffee, other sweet/savory cravings. It just disappeared. Overeating now results in intestinal cramping probably because of smaller stomach. Protein and Veg is helping to lose."


"On my 3rd pack, been having light/heavy bleeding since the start of the 2nd pack. I guess I can't really get pregnant if I can't have sex"


"I was constipated for over a week and took 4 table spoons. Works like a charm. It's 3am right now and I am sharting and exploding lol"


"I feel much calmer, my anxiety has gone and mood is stabilized. Also every night I get restful 10 hours sleep. I haven't gained any weight. I take 10 mg."


"I was placed on this medication due to my epilepsy. At first I didn't notice anything huge, other than I was stuttering more and "losing words". Then the intense dizziness and vertigo was hitting me every day. I'd randomly feel like I was under water and someone was spinning me. Once I made sure my balance was ok, I would have a very difficult time with my thought processes or communicating. This would last a while after the dizzy incidents. I was only on 200mg once a day. After I spoke with my neurologist, they stated that other patients on this medication have been reporting the same things. I was removed from it immediately. That was about a month and a half ago. The dizzy spells STILL happen a couple times a week."


"Late 30's - Moderate to severe Acne since puberty - hormonal and whiteheads.
Tried this after problems with antibiotics and before conceding to Accutane. It took 5 MONTHS before I saw results from this medicine. The current results are fantastic. I'm so glad I stayed with it. I'm on month 7 now and have minor breakouts. Will resume Aczone and Tretinoin to supplement treatment."


"On this pill for a couple months. I had heavy bleeding for the first solid month. I started having anxiety and boughts of depression. I have never felt that way on a bc pill before. I would have stomach problems to where i would vomit or have diarrhea. I chalked up everything to just having a baby at first, but soon realized it was the pills. I immediately quit taking them and had my old prescription filled  . The pills just did not mix well for me. I was on spritnec for 4.5 years and never had a problem!"


"Had full kidney stone blockage in ureter.  The pain was so severe that neither Morphine or Dilaudid could handle it.   When they added Toradol to the Dilaudid it knocked the pain out almost completely. I was told it only works in about 50% of the population.  I was very glad that I'm in that 50%."


"I've had my implant since July of 2015 & I've had mixed feelings about it. My Dr & I talked everything through, the good & the bad & my concerns & I was on board! Putting it in didn't hurt at all! I bruised pretty ugly but that's because my skin is very sensitive so it should be a different experience for anyone else. Since before being on this BC I hadn't had a period so I thought I would at least have some sort of period or spotting but I haven't! 6 months & still NO period!! The only thing I hate is that I did gain about 10-15 pounds & my mood swings became terrible. Even now sometimes they're horrible. Recently (maybe the past 3 months) I've been feeling depressed & abdominal pain..probably because of my BC & my weight gain :("


"I need to lose about 20 pounds. My doctor was on Contave and lost 30 pounds. I started taking Contrave and within less than 24 hours was experiencing headaches, jitters, sleepy, dry mouth and was very lethargic. I usually don't experience side effects with new medications so I continued taking this for 1 week. Didn't get any better and stopped taking altogether."


"Xanax is a great medicine that has been under a lot of flack recently because of irresponsible individuals who give it a bad name. I have been taking it for over two years now in an on/off fashion and sometimes for a few months at a time; however, I always take a few days every week to flush it out. My anxiety issues stem from a traumatic childhood making me miss out on a lot of GREAT opportunities throughout life, opportunities that Xanax is helping me take advantage of today. I am a very active male, I run and lift regularly and what I noticed about Xanax from the get go is that I had an extremely high tolerance to it.  I take 1.5mg of Xanax and .1mg of Clonidine due to this fact - WARNING -clonidine has bad side effects when stopped cold"


"I have taken 10 units yesterday for the first time I started with 10 units at 7am from 18.5 blood sugar, went up to 21.5 at 8am. I went to tesco shopping at 10am collapsed could not breath I was shaky, dizzy, and sweaty, two girls took me back to my car,  phoned my wife she drove me home went to bed tested my blood sugar it was Hi, I tested my sugar every hour. It was at 1pm it went down to 30.7 and not until 7pm did it down to 15.8 and 9pm to 13.5 blood sugar this was the very first day....??? this nearly kill me..."


"I suffered from headaches my whole life  (I'm 53). Nothing would help until it was prescribed during my 1st pregancy when I was 38 & suffered even worse hormonal headaches. It was like a miracle drug. I am a huge proponent of being conservative with medications in general & try to live a "natural" healthy lifstyle. A whole bottle will last me over a year. Most of my headaches are tension so when I tried this I almost cried from finding something to relieve my debilitating headaches. If I feel a bad one coming on, I'll take a half one then wait a bit to see how I feel. I'll follow with the other half if it's really bad. Can't say enough good about this medication."


"It took away the swelling and pain in about 24 hours. It slightly improved the loss of hearing after 7 days but I still can't hear like normal. Way way too expensive, $270 in which insurance covered abut $50. $220 for a tiny bottle of mediocre medicine."


"I have no side effects with reglan after 3 months of use. It works well when combined with Nexium, this combo is only med that works for my gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I have tried them all and these 2 medicines reduce the GERD down by approximately 75%. I also have my bed propped up at the head by 6 inches."


"Worked after three does, but that is when the headache started. No relief from headache with Tylenol or Motrin.  I'm going to ask dr. For different drug. Also seemed to get chapped lips, dry hands, and did get low blood sugar accompanied by sweating on third day on this medicine. UTI seems to be cured though."


"Took this as a relief at 8.00pm by 3am i was getting cronic tummy cramps and sweats i felt sick but nothing eas happening ny about half 3 being in pain with my tummy for that long and wanting to cry i suddenly had a massive case of the runs for about an hour ive never felt to poorly after tablets in my life i will defianatly not be taking the rest of these ever again"


"I am a 55 yr old woman,  one year post hysterectomy. I want to reduce to 140 lbs. I started Belviq on 3/8. I was nervous about side effects,  so I tapered up to the dose over 4 days.  I had a headache the first day of the full dose, remedied quickly with ibuprofen, and that was it. I notice I sleep soundly at night.  I have no appetite at all, so I force myself to eat. I'm following a 1200 calorie diet, but I struggle to finish my small meals. I weighed 176 lb the first day.  Today I weigh 170.  Losing 6 lbs in 17 days,  without any exercise is encouraging.  My exercise room is almost set up,  and when I add exercise to this plan,  I can't imagine how much faster the weight will drop. I'm hoping to use Belviq 6 months or less."


"This was like the light switch flipped to off for me.  I never thought there would be a medication that stopped craving for drinking. 1200 mg per day and I am not thinking about drinking at all!  The obsession is simply lifted!  I also attend AA and many there are skeptical, but they do say.  "Science may one day acheive this, but it hasn't done so yet."  Maybe now it has.  I even had a drink the other day, and I didn't fall back into the mental obsession as in previous relapses.  Lets hope more doctors prescribe this for alcohol dependance."


"The best I have felt since removal of thyroid in July of 2012 after trying combination of dosage to eliminate the dye and other additives."


"I have had problems with hormonal birth control since I can remember.  This IUD was a simple decision for me after having my first child since it isn't hormonal.  The only side effect that I have had is longer periods.  I do plan on having another child some day, just not now, and I can do that with Paragard."


"I used to get bad panic attacks, and very severe anxiety, and ativan was the best medication I ever took in terms of completely getting rid of my anxiety. It calmed me down quickly, got rid of my anxiety completely, and made me relaxed and calm. It's very potent and effective. Compared to Xanax I think Xanax works better for regular anxiety and Ativan to me seemed stronger. Also Ativan seemed to considerably elevate my mood compared to Xanax. It's probably best for those occasional severe panic attacks not to be taken too often. Very effective though!"


"I took Provera for 10 days as per doctor's order to induce a period. On the 11th day I had a period. The medication works alright. I didn't experience any side effects."


"I was in England when I started getting feeling of depersonalization, forehead pressure, fear, negative thoughts and irritation etc. I came back to my country and consulted a doctor. He diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. What he prescribed me may have worked but honestly speaking I did not give fair chance to the prescribed medicine.  He did not prescribe me Xanax but I managed to get it from somewhere myself as I had read about its effectiveness against anxiety. It worked perfectly for me. I killed my anxiety with it. It normalizes me and keeps me going ahead in life. I give 9/10. "


"I've had a few UTI's in the past and I've always received other antibiotics (even though I go to the same clinic). They gave me Nitrofurantoin yesterday and after taking the first pill (on an empty stomach) I was tired after an hour but it didn't bother me at all. I didn't have any headaches or nausea just the feeling of an empty stomach. My boyfriend said I looked exhausted but I really felt fine. I'm on my period so I already have some ill feelings from that. I just took my second pill this morning and it already feels better when I pee. I definitely think this pill should be taken right after a meal because it is strong but it does what it's supposed to do. In order to prevent another UTI you need this!"


"Had the most horrible abscessed tooth pain. Never ever felt such pain in my life. Have had some stomach issues with advil and surprisingly not with the Toradol. It takes a while to kick in, maybe half an hour but definitely did the job. Better than T3 for sure and it didn't leave me drowsy, if anything it gave me energy and I could concentrate more. Too bad than it's not recommended to be used for more than 5 days"


"This drug is pretty great for depression, however I am on it for serious anxiety and it has only exacerbated it for me. I feel agitated a lot and have insatiable hunger that has caused me to gain a few pounds. There have also been some sexual side effects that have made sex a little more of a challenge."


"I was on Paraguard for about 3 and a half years.  Insertion didn't hurt at all for me.  I had it placed after my second child was born.  Everything seemed fine for a long time, except for the super heavy periods.  I accepted the periods in exchange for convenient BC.  However, the periods got worse.  I was starting to lose my hair, and I had no energy.  I got blood work done and my ferretin levels were crazy low.  Doctor told me to take heavy duty iron supplements.  That helped my energy levels, but the hair continued to fall out.  I also had a huge increase in anxiety, panic attacks, heart palpitations.  I never had these kinds of symptoms in the past, and I'm starting to wonder if it was all related to the Paraguard.  Just had it removed."


"I like how it cleans out my ear. It calmed down my pain in 2 days. I'm using 4 drops twice a day. The only problem is a little loss of hearing, I believe it's the wax built up inside my ear and the infection. Now I'm going to get my ear cleaned by my doctor today."


"Although it worked for preventing pregnancy and helped on acne, this pill made me depressed and angry most of the time."


"I took Prozac successfully for 12 years until I became immune to its benefits."


"Works well for Congestive Heart Failure CHF,. however, I started using it years ago and we have discovered that Coreg may cause painful peripheral neuropathy. I am not diabetic but have developed the neuropathy and the only guess from doctors is that it was caused by the Coreg."


"I had switched to this pill after having adverse reactions to Paragard (bled EXTREMELY heavily for all but 5 days a month, anemia, nausea, horrible cramps, etc) and Nuvaring (persistent yeast infections). I started on the tri-cyclen, then switched to just cyclen in order to skip painful periods.

I gained 50-60 lbs in the year and a half that I was on this medication, had trouble with my contacts, pms-like mood swings, continued to have my periods, etc. Before I changed medication, I was feeling a sensation I could only describe as feeling like I had died and was still acting alive. I did not attribute any of these side effects until after I switched bc's and immediately saw improvement. This was the wrong pill for me, but not prego."
