"I have a crushed unhealed ankle for nine and half years. I feel everything in my bones. I've taken morphine sulfate all this time because it's the only thing that works. Everything else makes me dizzy."


"Omgosh! It burns like Hell, day one wasn't as bad as day 2! Omgosh!"


"I was prescribed this after finding out I have congenital spinal stenosis and scoliosis.

After being on all the usual codeines and others this seems to work the best.      The injections do help for a year, but I still need to take this daily."


"I'm 17 now and had been suffering acne during highschool years, during summer I used duac at first had side effects of my skin peeling and extremely dry skin, but it eventually got better, cleared my skin up so well!! Only got blemishes to deal with now, cleared up within 6 weeks all clear for college I felt much confident"


"I have been on this pill for 3 years now and overall I have had a great experience with it. I have not experienced any odd side effects however I am a little disappointed it did not help with my back acne. Other than that though, I would recommend this pill. My period only lasts about 3 days and my cramps have subsided considerably."


"I started on Metformin 4/20/14 for irregular periods and diagnosis of PCOS. Today I started my first cycle since September 2014! Hopefully they will continue to regulate but am beyond excited! The side effects can be pretty nasty if you don't cut back on bad carbs or work out, but just stick with it and it WILL work!"


"I have been taking Risperidone for over four years now. I felt great the first year but had to constantly have my dosage increased. I don't like some of the side effects (anxiety, difficulty concentrating, weight gain, faster heart rate, flu-like symptoms) but have learned to deal with them. Once you start to gain weight it is virtually impossible to lose the weight as I have tried everything. It seems you peak at a certain level."


"This healed my anxiety and deep depression and made me able to work, think, work out, enjoy my life, and recoup the losses caused by my illness.  My whole self got well, including physical ailments.  Had no difficulty tapering off when I was completely well."


"I take 100mg daily and my binging and purging has subsided by 90%. Please note it took me a long time to work up to this high dose. My quality of life has improved immensely and for the first time in years I am not thinking about food and weight constantly. One side effect I do experience is tiredness, which I find frustrating, but whenever I try to reduce my medication intake I start binging and purging again. Out of the 10-15 antidepressants I have tried over the years this has been the only one to assist without dreadful side effects (e.g. Topiamate).

I wish everyone luck with their personal battle and know how challenging and isolating this condition can be. Take care"

"I'm 53 and this was my third colonoscopy.  I did not do well with the bowel preps from my first two colonoscopies.  I had difficulty keeping the prep solution down and it made me sick for a week after the procedures.  In comparison, Prepopik was fantastic.  It was still a bowel prep, but a lot less traumatic on my system.  The taste wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.   I only had one small BM with the first dose and worried that it wasn't working, but the second dose kicked my system into gear.  I took it at 10pm, but was able to fall asleep around 1:00am.  The other preps kept me up all night. I won't be signing up for extra colonoscopies, but Prepopik will make the mandatory ones much easier!  Thank you!"


"I am a 47 year old married, mother of 2. My husband and I had unprotected sex recently - 2 weeks ago on a Friday night. I was nervous since I was in my ovulating zone. I went to pharmacy the next day (Saturday)to buy Plan B but they were out. Tried another - also out.  We live in a small town so the only other choice was another one You must buy it behind the pharmacy counter at there and it was closed. So Sunday went back to there and took it by noon.  On Monday felt kind of nauseous and the next few days had head ache, back ache, and just generally did not feel great, then had some spotting for 2 days. Finally got my period the Saturday afterwards which was one week early. Relief! Stay safe, Ladies!"


"I have been on Paxil for 3 months and had gained 6 pounds. Doesn't sound that bad, except I've been going to the gym like crazy to counteract this side effect and still the scale keeps creeping up.  I have almost zero interest in having sex and when I do have sex, I cannot have an orgasm. Any interest in sex I do have is counteracted by the fact that I feel gross having gained extra weight.  If I were single, I might not mind the sex issue as much, but if you are in a relationship, I would consider a different drug."


"A few of my friends and I who are on it (we work in a hospital and all started taking it) plateaued at 25-27 lbs. So, a couple of us stopped taking it, maintained what we lost, and are going to start it again. The reason is that the longer we were on it, the less we felt that "I'm hungry but nothing sounds good" feeling that curbed our appetites. Will go back on soon. I went from 314 lbs to 288 lbs - maintaining about 291."


"Went from 75mg to 150 mg but because of side effects of being nearly stoned during the day the doctor put me a 100 mg, but had side effects as short memory problems, achiness in the middle of night and no pain relief. I am going to try another medication. Hope this helps."


"I have experienced severe heartburn since increased dosage from 40to 80 mg."


"I've been using this drug for two weeks and it is great."


"Propranolol is honestly one of the best things in the freakin universe. I’ve struggled tremendously with debilitating presentation/public speaking anxiety for the past 13 years of my life.  I’ve been prescribed Xanax and Lexapro to aide with my anxiety, but Xanax made me so foggy to the point of stupidity and Lexapro is a daily medication, while my anxiety is strictly situational. Just take 30 mg an hour to an hour and a half before your presentation, or speech and you WILL kill it. Reading short paragraphs out loud, or even introducing myself to a large group of people would be straight up impossible for me - but with Propranolol, That’s all gone away. Seriously. Try it. You’ll be that person VOLUNTEERING to present and read aloud :)"


"My reaction to Humira seems to be unusual. Within 2 hours of each injection I would sleep so soundly I was not wakened even by drilling in the next room. I generally wanted to do nothing but sleep for about 36 hours after each injection and overall I was unnaturally sleepy while on the medication. For the first 2 days after each injection I experienced burning joints and a flu-like feeling with more prominent pain in my lower back. The only positive symptom was experiencing less nausea than I did prior to treatment. It was a relief to stop and "wake up"."


"Got Skyla two months ago. Insertion was super painful but quick. I was able to drive and go back to work after with minor discomfort. Since insertion no serious cramping but the spotting is nonstop. SO annoying. Its not enough for a pad but it will ruin your undies. I'm not sexually active at the moment so I didn't have to worry about that but your man will probably be grossed out for a while because the constant blood and discharge smells. I never feel fresh which is enough of a side effect to be turning me off. I'm hoping this subsides as I hear it does after about 3 months. I will say that my mood swings seem WAY better. I've always struggled with acne so that hasn't improved but hasn't significantly worsened so that seems like a wash."


"I have massive panic attacks due to loss of close family and life problems. Klonopin is awesome I take 2mg tabs 3 times a day. Hope this is helpful"


"Many side effects.  I have been trying to ween off this medication for over a month and have been unsuccessful.  I received no benefits from this medication."


"I have started Belviq a couple days ago and so far so good. I noticed it gives me so much energy that I didn't have before and I don't think about food as much. Also it is curbing my appetite and it's keeping me from overeating. So far so good and only side effect is getting chills."


"I've been dealing with atrial fibrillation for about a year and a half now and it stinks. I've had the surgery where they go in and sap the connection in your heart but it didn't fix it. Helped a little but I'm struggling getting some atrial fibrillation symptoms so my Dr put me on flecainide first 50mg 2 times a day than a 100 MG twice a day. A 100 mg worked for awhile(3 mths) but now around an hour or two before my 2nd dose of the day I start having symptoms,  very sad don't know what to do. Medicine does seem to work for the most part."


"Since late twenties I've faced ED. I'm healthy and not overweight.

I wish I took cialis my first experience with ED. I highly suggest you speak with your doctor to try a sample or a prescription if you're the least bit curious, or have ever had a bad moment with ED. Don't be embarrassed to talk to your doctor and specifically ask for it.

I've tried viagra, which didn't help.

I also tried the 10mg dosage of cialis, which I enjoyed. The 20mg is where I'm used to my erections being from when I was a teenager.

 Taking the 20mg tablet of cialis a few hours before, and my confidence is 100% in my performance.

Also, I've had zero side effects."


"Side effect: rash"


"I have recurring kidney stones. The pain is incredible.
I'm non-responsive to acetaminophen and hydrocodone.  Meperidine causes seizures. Ibuprofen works well for normal pain but can't handle kidney stones. But Dilaudid works wonders."


"After trying these for about 5 week's had to go back to Dr to change. I felt worse than I'd ever felt in my life I was so angry all the time for no reason, I cried more than I did before medicines for the first time ever I was thinking about suicide. It also gave me a massive appetite gained about ten pounds, which I didn't need so these definitely do not work for me fingers crossed my new ones will."


"I've been battling moderate anxiety and depression for most of my adult life. I'm 24 now, and since my official diagnosis at age 20 I have tried 4 other medications (Celexa, Zoloft, Paxil, Buspar) and found that each one increased my anxiety, or made me a despondent zombie. 3 months ago my PCP put me on Wellbutrin.
Let me tell you, this medication saved my life. I went from spending days lying in bed, smoking weed, having daily panic attacks, to waking up with a desire to take on the day. In the few months since I've been on the medication I've lost 30 pounds. It suppresses the urge to binge eat and provides energy for the gym. My friends said I finally seem like me again. Highly recommended if you hate SSRI's like me!"


"I have had nexplanon inserted in my left arm for the last year and two months. The only upside was that since then I did not get pregnant and did not have my period, other than that I disliked it and do not recommend it. It made me gain 15 pounds of weight my eating and exercise have stayed the same, I believe it's the hormones that made me very depressed, many times I felt like I no longer wanted to exists. I couldn't care if I lived or not. The littlest of things would make me cry even in public and I'm not the type to cry in front of anyone. My anxiety levels were also elevated and I didn't know what ever cause for this to happen. Im getting it removed today I want my sanity back."


"Hypo Tears are the ONLY eyedrops that relieve my dry eyes.  I have used this brand for 30 years.  I hope they are never discontinued or reformulated, as they are the only ones that WORK for me.  I have tried every other eyedrop on the market, including Restasis, and none of them relieve the dryness, and many if not most, actually make it worse."


"I have been on Victoza for a week (0.6) and have already lost 6 pounds (started at 280). I feel full ALL the time. I have to make myself eat meals (especially lunch and dinner), and I am eating much less than before. I have noticed headaches too, but I am not sure if it is due to not eating. I am also still on Metformin (1000mg/2x day). My blood sugars are dropping (170s fasting)."


"It has taken about 6 weeks for this medicine to work, the benefits have been subtle. I noticed that I have been able to do more, get out more and have even cut back on a dose of painkillers, my head is clearer - I just sort of feel different, not miraculously different or anything, but just more my normal self.

I am still severely allergic to the sun or any UV exposure and can be sick for days if I am not careful or if I do too much but I do believe the Plaquenil has helped and I have been on it for 2 months now so look forward to further benefits from this medicine.

Only side effects are erratic blood sugar, if I don't eat regularly I go hypo - badly hypo, although my doctor said he has never heard of this, so perhaps it isn't related."


"I have been taking this for 3 days now.  It has been helping me cut back tremendously.  On a side note it has made me feel irritable during the day and I have had crazy dreams during the night.  Nothing I can't deal with so I am going to continue taking it."


"My father was put on Stalevo and had to discontinue use after suffering side effects which came on after dosage was raised in succession. He has had severe side effects such as fatigue, diarrhea and he could barely function. He is no longer on the medication."


"I have always had heavy and very painful periods.  After being diagnosed with endometriosis and a partial hysterectomy due to huge cysts, I was told that using this would help lessen the endometriosis.  I have been bleeding since July, 2015.  I had the IUD in August 2015, I've bled ever since.  Instead of having my period 7 days a month, I'm lucky to not bleed for 2 or 3 days a month.  I always have cramps.  My bleeding is not heavy, but it's enough to have to wear a pad or a tampon constantly.  My sex life is pretty much non-existent.  It's very frustrating.  I don't know which is worse, having heavy painful periods or having a period that never ends."


"Switched to welbutrin from effexor to eliminate sexual side effects. Definitely worked, and as an added bonus my smoking habit went from a pack a day to 2 packs a week!"


"I'm male, 54 years old and weigh about 180 LBS. The first time I tried Wellbutrin, it was 150mg twice a day. It was too much for me. Side effects: Jitters, hyperactive, constant bouncing of knee when sitting, clenching teeth, weight loss, tinnitus, insomnia, dull headache in back of head.

I decided to quit Wellbutrin but recently resumed using it. I only take 75mg in the morning (5 AM) then 75mg at 11 AM. They are the "SR" type. I will continue using this dose until my body adjusts and then I may up the dose to 150 twice a day.

For me, starting at 300mg a day was far too much. I believe starting lower, I will be able to remain on this."


"Awesomeness!"


"I suffer from severe chronic Migraines. At least once a week I have to go in and get a shot. I hate to do it but the pain is so severe that that is the only option right now."


"Been on this med for a year. Haven't ended up in the hospital since for panic disorder and depression. It makes my mood stable and gives me energy and motivation to live life. I'm in my mid 20s and am lucky how much this drug has helped me. My anxiety and panic disorder can be frightening, plus the depression aspects can make for a scared and crying disaster. The negatives I've had on this was when I first started I could not eat. But that side effect did go away after a few weeks. The other side effect is not being able to fall asleep without some sort of drug to slow my brain down. I've been on a combination of mood drugs. I plan to stay on Prozac."


"I have PCOS and was struggling to conceive because of my irregular periods. My Gyno/OB started me on Metformin 500mg. However, he told me to start slowly taking one tablet in the morning and one at night, then once I had adjusted to that, one tablet 3 x a day. He told me that it makes you feel nauseous, he was right. I did feel quite sick, So i would recommend staggering the dosage and working up to three tablets a day. It worked for me. It also gave me diarrhea every now and then but it wasn't that bad, more like loose stools, not explosive. I was on metformin for a few months, my periods were semi-regular and then I fell pregnant. Didn't really loose much weight, just a couple of kg's which i think was because i felt sick from the tablet."


"On my 7th day of Lexapro I developed a rash on my arms and was alarmed, especially when I read about the possibility of rash being a side effect of the medication.  With my doctor's guidance I treated the rash as a contact allergy (detergent, etc.) and kept taking the Lexapro. The rash came back one more time but never again.  Lexapro did not give me the sudden weight loss, dizziness, visual "trails", nausea, etc. of other SSRI's I had tried before (Prozac worked for me, anxiety-wise, but the side effects were a bit much... Paxil resulted in extreme dizziness and was stopped after only a few days).  I find Lexapro worth the extra money and recommend it even to people who may have had bad experiences with SSRI's before."


"I have been getting cold sores since I was 9 years old, sadly when I was little they didn't know what cold sores were and how contagious they were. Therefore they were spread much more often than today. They are miserable, not only are they very painful, it's hard to eat as well but they are very very embarrassing. People look at you like you have the plaque. I used to suffer for 2 weeks during an outbreak but now I take valtrex at the first sign and if I catch it fast enough I don't even get the cold sore. If not then it's pretty much gone in 3 days. It doesn't get near as big or as painful and it's much easier to hide. I love this medication and can't say enough good things about it. try it you won't be disappointed."


"Started 100mg at bedtime (in case of drowsiness) because I was waking up with 3  migraines/week. Later we added 25mg in the morning to prevent afternoon migraines. My headaches have gradually improved, not just in frequency but also in intensity.

Only side effects have been weight loss (about 10-15 lb, and it seems to have levelled out there, which is fine; I'm a relatively small person) and paresthesia/tingles in my hands & face. Tingling is more frequent in cold weather, but it's not bad enough to make me quit, especially not with the benefits I'm experiencing.

There's been a bit of research into its use for mood disorders, which I have. I'm on other meds for that, but I wonder if the topiramate is having any extra little benefit there."


"I'm jealous but happy for the people this medicine worked for. As for myself, I took it for about 4 months (along with Cymbalta which I'd never taken). This combination made me crazy. At first, I didn't want to smoke, then wanted to smoke more. Also, was convinced I could only eat chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream (Don't even like ice cream). Gained 50 pounds before I became aware of my insanity and stopped both medicines. Hope others have better luck and it seems many of you did. "


"Today is just 15 days  I am taking Champix, last weekend I smoke just one on sat and one on sunday

Still craving sometimes but its not too much, even after an argument with my workers or even drink on Sunday night did not feel , I need to smoke too bad.

Although I did not have insurance and cost me almost $300 CAD but it worth it since I smoked one pack of Dunhill $15  /DAY!!

my breathing is better, I DO NOT COUGH..and sleep already better !

today I have not smoked at all!........Really recommend"


"Macrobid solved the kidney infection but made me extremely ill and I ended up in the hospital for 4 days with pneumonia. It wasn't until day 6 that I became tired, short of breath, rash on my hands, fever, and could not keep anything down.  I ended up in ER and my liver counts were elevated, esinophils high, respiration rate poor, oxygen levels low, and chest x ray confirmed pneumonia. I can't take it again."


"I have lost 10.8 pounds in 15 days! This stuff is amazing if you can work around the side effects. Well worth it to me!"


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


"Today is day two and I admit I do feel less stressed at work. I have had a lot of "yawnies", feel a bit lethargic and have had a few mild headaches on 10mg, but it's far better than feeling totally overwhelmed and stressed out.  I was told to up the dosage to 20mg at the end of the first week, but if these benefits continue and I don't experience any other side effects, I'd likely be happy staying at this dose.  I feel better already.  This medication may have saved my job and has certainly helped lessen the side effects that severe stress has been having on my diabetes."


"They told me not to expect any results for at least 3 months.  36 hours after my first injection, I felt great.  My worst symptoms had gone away, and the remaining symptoms are slowly going away."


"I've been on it for almost two weeks... started the day after I found out I had Shingles, so probably three or four days into developing Shingles. It does not seem to be helping with the pain I have in the immediate area of my Shingles (entire left torso), but it has seemed to lessen the neuralgia I was experiencing higher up in my body due to the Shingles infection, namely the trigeminal neuralgia. I'll probably be on it for a while and my hope is that it prevents or at least lessens any chronic or ongoing pain post-infection. I was told it would."


"I am just finished my 2nd week of pills, but had to go off from the medicine do to sudden severe panic attacks and hypertension. Just stopped taking them today and hoping the effects go away quickly!! Could have possibly been an allergic reaction. Also had bleeding for the entire 2 weeks so far."


"I just had Skyla inserted less than 3 hours ago. I didnt do too much research outside of the website but from all the reviews I read right now its exactly what they said its a little painful.. Depending on your pain tolerance though. But other than that Im cramping as if Im on my period. Its tolerable pain, you wont die from it, though so don't over think it. By the way I too was nervous but it wasn't too terrible. I'll update again too let you guys know how its going! -Mariah928"


"I took 2 Dulcolax at around 4pm yesterday and around 4am I started to get really bad abdominal pain in which I couldn't fall back asleep. I went to the toilet at around 6am and just stayed there for 20 minutes, after that I the pain went away and I felt better again. Overall the pill is effective but takes time."


"I've been taking this pill for two months, my first birth control I've ever been on, at first it was okay and it definitely cleared up my skin, bloating was expected but not wanted. I also experienced a lot of vaginal discharge. Now that I'm in the second month, however, I have begun cramping on top of the discharging. Sort of scary when you look up "cramping on the pill" and all the links have the title "signs of early pregnancy" :/"


"I only used this medication twice. I understand that you usually need to use medication for an extended amount of time to get the full results of it, but I am not able to function with the effects of just two days. I can handle the bad taste. Yes, it is bad, but that can be dealt with. However, after using it I immediately began to feel dizzy and lightheaded. There was a pressure in my head and I felt nauseous. Every time I turned my head, I would feel very disoriented and lightheaded again. I am physically tough and can handle pain and discomfort, but there is no way I can function and work with these conditions. The more reviews I read the more I realize there seems to be way to many dangers than advantages to this medication."


"My son started Remicade at 13yrs. He has severe Crohns flare ups and this was a last resort aside from surgery for him. The Remicade treatment gave him few side effects. He didn't get any headaches/tiredness. And he didn't get sick easier like they said he would. When almost our whole house(7 of us) got the flu; m\Micah didn't. Micah just took his last dose 8 weeks ago after being on Remicade for over a year and a half. (Micah was on Lialda too) even when they used the amount of Remicade, Micah was still getting flare ups every other month or so. They tested his blood and found out he had antibodies to the Remicade, which means his body was attacking the Remicade and that's why it was only working right after the infusions."


"I had a sympathectomy on my right side in 2001 and ever since I have had excessive sweating on my left side. It got so bad I was literally folding paper towels and tucking them under my arm to soak it up. My shirts were always wet on the left side. After just a couple of nights using Drysol I don't have wet shirts & no need for paper towels. It does burn & itch little when I first apply it & I get a kind of bruised feeling in my under arm but nothing major or that I couldn't deal with. Huge improvement!"


"As a birth control, this worked good. It did not cause me to gain weight and it helped my acne. But I had TERRIBLE mood swings. I cried a lot and the smallest of things would make me angry. This was my first time being on birth control, so I had no idea that it could have such an effective on my mood/personality. It honestly made me a different person. So I switched to Lomedia and finally felt like myself again!"


"Linzess 145mcg gave me explosive diarrhea for hours.  I thought I must have eaten something bad so I waited a day and took Linzess again and about 2 1/2 hours later it happened again and lasted 5 hours.  Obviously not for me.  I strongly suggest you're at home the first time you take this just in case."


"Was prescribed drug for Achilles tenditis, 500mg Naproxen twice a day with omeprazole 20 mg.  Should never have taken this as caused heartburn and stomach infection, stopped taking on second day and still have not recovered from stomach problems over 2 months later despite taking other remedies.  Disgusting drug!!!"


"After highly successful results (2 years relief per series) my insurance insisted on Euflexxa). Following completion of series of three shots, my previously comfortable knees are completely destroyed. My range of motion is very limited and walking long distances is painful."


"I was prescribed Xenical a few years ago and lost just over three stone in four months. I went from a size 18 to a 14 and felt fantastic! I even joined the local gym. Unfortunately my weight stayed the same for a couple of months so I was taken off them. Since then I've had another baby and finding time to eat healthy has been a struggle for me, I am now 16 stone. The doctor has once again prescribed Xenical and I'm determined to keep the weight off this time. If you struggle with diets then I would recommend these, fingers crossed."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2012. Sept 2013 was the last time I wore a pair heels & have been living with severe pains throughout my entire body. I had seen 5 different doctors, pres. Methotrexate & HCQS, but I would still be in so much pain, crying had become a normal part of my day. I was advised to see a sixth doctor (which I was not anxious to do) who was the only person to prescribe prednisolone. The very first day(2014/06/04), I was given IV Hydrocorticoid and 30mg Prednisone. Before the day ended, I was feeling so much better. To date, I'm on 20mg and Sulfasalazine and I'm back at work, run up & down stairs and so much happier to be like my old self. I do worry about the side effects since I already gained weight but I am so much better."


"Love this medication. Used it for 3 days and the acne is almost gone. Would recommend highly."


"Woww..  I too read the comments after the fact.. I used the 1 day monastat cream..  And omg I can't sleep it Burns so badly that I keep running to the bathroom to wet a cool towel to put don't there. This feeling is horrible.. And nothing on the package saying what u should do.  Please do not use.."


"My asperger syndrome is many times better now because of zyprexa."


"I just had appendectomy under Propofol. I'm 50,  male,  the procedure was minimally invasive and lasted 1 hour although I was kept under about 2.5 hours because of complaining about pain after surgery,  I don't recall this and was given the information by staff.  I was ventilated during the procedure.

Wake-up was quick and I was able to stand up and go to the bathroom by myself as I arrived in my room.

24 hours later I feel pretty good,  I sometimes mix up words although that might be the pain meds (tramadol).

Overall a good experience so far."


"I just started this medicine and I have been suffering with fibromyalgia for 20 years. I took 75mg the first night. The next day I was really out of it (sleepy) but the insane pain was no longer there. On the second night I took it again and the next day I did not have anymore side effects (sleepy) so I am very hopeful this will get even better with long term use."


"3 weeks 3 days in.  Had blood work done waiting on first check. Hep for almost 30 yrs first attempt at treatment. Breast cancer survivor 8 years with neuropathy and chronic pain issues. Already have insomnia for many many years so I live on Ambien and medical marijuana to sleep. I'll b 54 next week.  So far I have experienced very mild headaches but quite a few Gastro issues inside my gut. Morning tummy ache and it seems the longer I'm on the more issues but it could just be pre existing conditions. As far as the Harvoni I cannot differentiate if its me or the drug making it worse... WAY WORTH the sides if it clears the virus and I really did not believe there would b no side effects from such an intense drugs."


"This was the absolute wrong drug for me. Not sure why my doc put me on this as I don't have a mood disorder I have depression and anxiety. But I got weird side effects like breathlessness, difficulty swallowing and a feeling of not being able to clear my throat - super phlegmy and I can't get it out which actually increased my anxiety. Once I put two and two together I immediately stopped taking those pills. Not the right med for depression and anxiety."


"Been on for a few months - up to 40mg - feeling great as far as mood goes.  DO have some break through anxiety but that will get better with time.  Notice you DO HAVE TO TAKE WITH FOOD - or your stomach does get really upset.  I have also noticed weight gain/or bloating.  So the weight gain being 10 pounds may be some water weight as well.  I've taken other meds that don't work this effectively so will give this a definite try for awhile and see if it continues to help me with my mood disorder.  Bless all out there that have this terrible disorder...."


"I was diagnosed with bipolar seven years ago and have basically been on Topamax along with Welbutrin the whole time. I have not really experienced the weight loss. I do feel fatigued and have been feeling very angry lately. I also feel sort of zombied out."


"I am fifteen years old and I have been on LoEstin 24 Fe for six months. I am roughly 140 pounds, 5'6'', with no known history of women problems. I am about to switch to Seaonique because I don't like my birth control. It was great at first with only a little spotting which a panty liner was barely needed. It has made my cramps insufferable. All I want to do is lay down in a small ball in bed all day. It made my period a very dark color and it doesn't start until the 3rd brown pill and ends on the 3rd white pill. I have always had a lot of headaches and from taking this medicine they have increased in pain and frequency. Before LoEstrin 24 Fe I was on the Depo shot for 6 months. I switched because I gained 30 pounds in 6 months."


"This medication has changed my life. I began taking it shortly after it was FDA approved back in March of 2015. I have suffered from SEVERE BED since I was 15. My BED was stealing my life from me- every ounce of energy I had was spent searching out food and then eating until I couldnt eat another bite, my BED was getting worse, over 18 months I spent 10k on food and went from 135-205. When my doctor told me about this drug I was excited- however skeptical because it sounded too good to be true.

I started feeling feeling its effects right away. 18 months later and I am 60 lbs lighter. My BED is still a part of my life, I still have strong cravings; however now i feel in control. This drug has changed my life and allowed me to live again."


"TERRIBLE! NEVER AGAIN! I switched to this pill after being in the mini pill because I stopped breastfeeding. This was the worst mistake ever! Since being on this pill (for 6 weeks) I've gained 10 lbs, I'm so increadibly moody that I'm constantly fed up with everyone/crying/stressed to the point I can't handle basic every day things without breaking down... My skin looks horrible, I never have acne, and my face, back & chest are covered... I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy..."


"Had to stop use because of rash across neck and arms."


"having colonoscopy tomorrow. So started moviprep 3pm. I mixed it in advance early this morning so it's really cold also drinking through a straw . If your not good with dyrolight kind of meds then this is best bet I'm not good with the salty taste! So I cut a lemon into wedges bite a wedge keep juice in mouth and drink as much as u can from glass then have another bite lemon and repeat til glass is gone . Followed by something nice like lemonade"


"This is my second month on this pill, about to be on my third. I've been on a different birth control before this one for two years. I don't remember the name but I was super moody. I had bad depression ever night. I would cry for no reason it was so bad. So they put me on a low  hormone and it was this pill. And so far I haven't been moody at all. Just one time I got all my emotions in one night and cried for two hours. But other than that I've been okay. I have gained weight, but most birth controls do that. But my only problem would be that I get really bad cramping stomach aches about everyday. Like after I eat or before I eat. And it's just a terrible pain. But I like this pill 10x better than my last."


"I have been on Butrans for 3 days on day 2 I woke up pain free. I have spinal stenosis, degenerative disk disease and herniated disks L4-S1. I have been receiving injections in my spine for a a year and half and taking norco 10 every 4 hours combined with muscle relaxers. I am a nurse and I work on my feet 36 hours a week. I have felt better the last 2 days than I have felt in a long time.  My husband is very active as I was before my back injury running, weights, rowing and today for the first time in a very long time I asked him to take me hiking. I feel like Butrans is a lifesaver! But again it's only day 3, so far no side effects!!"


"I have taken 60mg for 20 years. Three weeks ago my Dr. dropped the dosage to 30 mg. I had some hateful and days of crying. Now that passed but my feet and legs and lower back hurt so bad I can barely walk. Is this normal and would it stop if I took 60 again."


"On the good side it only had one side effect for me, and that was a little bit of a increased heart beat I could feel and it made me feel like I was going to a concert or just won a prize, it felt not too bad knowing the other medicines out there for schizophrenia. "


"The stinking smell! Ugh. After I apply this gel (which for me dries quickly),  I smell like I have women's perfume on all day. The smell does not diminish. I mean what are they thinking? You make a product for men with low T and then some genius in the lab decides to add a feminine scent to it? I am sure they are having a good laugh over that one. That said, beside the Chanel No. 5 scent, I do feel better after taking it now for two weeks.  I have not had labs done yet, but I have noticed a change.  I am going to try and change to something else, however, my insurance company made me jump through hoops to get it, but I just can't stand the smell."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This was by far easier than the Miralax I had to do for my first prep. I read a lot of reviews on how to make this prep easier and I will for sure share what helped me.
1.) refrigerate it
2.) use water to mix as instructed
3.) add crystal light lemonade packet
4.) drink through straw. Don't chug
5.) bite a lemon every few sips to clear the taste
It started working within 25 mins.
The flood gates have opened"


"It's not perfect but it seems to have a positive effect on my sleep patterns, attitude and mood swing regardless of situation."


"I noticed tingling and burning on my left thigh one day, as well as increasingly severe back pain.  Two days later, I had a light rash that I mistook for razor burn along my bikini line on my left thigh.  Two days after that, my OB (I was 31 weeks pregnant) diagnosed me with shingles.  I started Famciclovir the next day (went to PCP who prescribed it...long story).  My PCP mentioned that the back pain was probably a symptom of shingles, that the area of my back in question was linked to the same dermatome as the rash on my leg.  By day 3 on medication, my discomfort had decreased and new sections, while they had appeared, did not blister.  By day 5, my blistered section was mostly scabbed over."


"They have changed the formula. Burns like hell. Currently 3am. I have to get up in 2 and a half hours to work 15 hours. My 3rd application of the 3 day and it just as bad if not worse than the 1st night. I will NEVER purchase this again. This did not burn when I took it years ago, and after seeing these reviews, clearly something is wrong. I read in the pamphlet that it may burn, but that doesn't make it okay."


"Overall it made me feel like my old self. I was interested in all my old hobbies again. One thing I did notice is when I started taking it I would always have intense yawning, all day."


"It was a miracle pill for 2 weeks, I felt completely normal for the first time in 15 years. After 2 weeks I began to have neck stiffness, insomnia, suicidal thoughts and became very manic."


"I have been diagnosed with cervical distonia and was given the botox injections and it has been10 days and I cannot bend my neck to even eat! I need to know what I can do about it! What other treatments are they?"


"This medication has been doing a good job at clearing up my right ear after just a few days. Keep in mind that I also have a perforation in my ear drum as well, although it has been there even before I developed this infection.

Anyhow, I was recently diagnosed with a right middle ear infection last week and was prescribed this along with Augmentin 875 MG. However, I have been taking a 500 MG Glutathione antioxidant supplement along with this medication considering the fact that this medication carries an ototoxic risk."


"I am taking 60 mg of Cymbalta for anxiety and depression.  Previously I had been on Lexapro (which gave me nightmares) and Paxil, which worked for a time but sent me into a relapse when I was weaned off of it.  I have noticed a few side effects - the most predominant one is that it makes me very tired.  I don't have much of an appetite, but when I do, I crave sweets and have put on a few pounds as a result.  Very little sex drive, though it was low to begin with.  Although the medication has helped to keep my anxiety at a manageable level, my general mood has been very blank - I feel very little in the way of happiness or sadness.  My doctor has suggested either switching to a higher dose (120 mg) of Cymbalta, or changing to Zoloft or Paxil."


"Today I went to see my Dr. Due to the struggle of weight loss. I am 5'10 and started two weeks ago at 215. I started calorie counting to stay under 1750 and cut out soda and sugary beverages. On my own I have lost 7 lbs. My Dr has prescribed me with Adipex P. 37.5 mg tablets 1x a day. I start my journey tomorrow morning with this prescription and was told that I will come back in 1 month and must show at least a 6 lbs loss in order to continue taking it for an additional 2 months before a breaking period. Although I told him I would like to achieve 150 he told me let's start by achieving 170 first. I am excited and nervous but Am motivated. 208 now will update in 30 days!"


"About a month ago, my gf came over after work and we had some of the best loving I have ever had in three years of activity. She told me to cum in her (we always said that but never did it, it was always more of a joke) so I did the usual and told her I would. A few mins later I just got the urge to finally do it, and I did not tell her until I was halfway done with my load. I have never been so scared in my life. I couldn't help but think of the life changing effect that I could have just caused. She took pill at 9, eight hours after it happened. She did not get side effects other than bad heartburn and head pains. Then got her period a week or two ago (3weeks after). She was on birth control for 2 years prior though. Don't be stupid tho!!"


"My last period began Oct 26-30. However, I got really drunk on October 31. I don't know if I had intercourse with a guy (I don't have a good recall of that night). So I became extremely paranoid and took Ellaone on November 1st (within 12-14 hours)

I remember that I started to have thick white discharge in the beginning (how I wish I could have written what I was experiencing the first two weeks of November). But from November 16 to November 18, I started to feel pain in my pelvis and my lower back kept hurting.

By Nov 19, I started to have more lower back pain and light brown discharge. On Nov 20-26, I've been spotting. Some days were of brown or red or light red blood. I don't think it is my period. Why am I still spotting?"


"This is making me always feeling exhausted when doing anything. Fatigue all day. No motivation at all."


"I suffered from dry eye after having LASIK eye surgery several years ago.  I tried Restasis (which didn't help) and was using Over The Counter artificial tear drops several times per day.  My husband (who had just graduated from optometry school at the time) started me on Freshkote, and it has worked great.  I use it twice daily, and rarely need artificial tears anymore."


"It is the best."


"I decided to switch from Tri-Sprintec to Seasonique right before I got married because having 4 periods a year sounded great to both me and my new husband! As far as fewer periods, it was great. I never had any problems with spotting or heavy periods at all. As far as preventing pregnancy, still no baby here so I guess that part worked pretty well too.  On the NEGATIVE side....I have gained close to 20 pounds in the last 4 months since I started taking Seasonique and have not been able to drop the weight with diet and exercise. I actually continued to GAIN weight while trying hard to lose it. Also, my libido dropped like crazy, I was not interested in sex at all, but I wanted to be. And I experienced EXTREME vaginal dryness, which was no fun."


"I  LOVE LYRICA. I started about a month ago on 75mg  with no allergic reaction but felt really weird and out of it.  I also take Lamotrigine 100 mg am and pm so perhaps some sort of interaction?  I have Bipolar 2 depressive emphasis and traits of BPD.
I stopped taking the Lyrica and asked my GP for 50mg.  I have been taking 50 mg morning an evening for about three weeks and I have never felt better.  Took about a week to really feel a difference.   I cannot remember a time when I felt so good.  Well I can but I had to give up sugar, carbs,  alchohol, practice meditation and exercise....
I am calmer and I sleep so well,  seven hour stretches!!!  I'm also finding my mood lifting and so am more productive a appropriatly sociable.
Helenx"


"Applied Jublia religiously for 12 months. I would say there was a slight improvement, but not worth the duration and cost of treatment."


"I have struggled with migraines for 14 years. I have tried so many medications over the years. The past 3 years my migraines have gotten worse. I have been put in the hospital for a week to a week and a half at a time. The last time I went to the neurologist they added Depakote twice a day to see if it would help cut back on the number of migraines I was having. I would have at least one a day. I was currently on Topamax twice a day, Fioricet, Zofran. When I started Depakote I noticed my weight was going up well I have been on the medication 3 months now and I have gained 40 pounds. This is so crazy. I used to weigh 298lbs. And I don't want to go back there. When my scale started going over the 200 mark again."


"I only had to take this once a day for about 7 days. It is expensive but most insurances cover it. It really made a significant difference in just a few days. I loved this because I have trouble remembering to take medication more then once a day."


"I have chronic constipation. I am trying any thing and everything to have a bowel movement. Dulcolax did nothing for me. Very disappointing."


"Have taken this tablet on 2 different occasions. Both times does not work for periods. I have horrible pains and i feel that this tablet does nothing at all. Id recommend something stronger for those who dont get mild cramps."


"At first (2 months in) it was fine no bleeding nothing. After.those two months, my periods started lasting longer and longer to up to 3 months long at a time. I hate everything about it. I'm gaining weight my acne is at its worst point and I have zero sex drive. I hate my life. Its living he'll. My cramps are so bad that I'm crying on my bed all day. Its a stabbing pain!! Honestly pregnacy sounds a lot easier than this.. The birth control ends up not being the stick in your arm but the person you become, from your looks to your personality. STAY AWAY FROM THIS."


"I have been on Effexor for over 5 years now and I cannot imagine life without it.  I was crying all the time for no reason....my dr. Put me on 75 mg a day and it made me extremely anxious.  He then upped it to 150 mg per day and I have no side effects and function great!  The only side effect I have noticed is:  if I forget to take it I start to feel dizzy after a few hours and by night am crying."


"I got my Skyla installed on July 13 the pain when it was being placed was awful I felt like I never wanted to even experience labor pain the whole night I felt awful the next day was better haven't stop spotting yet over this weekend me and my boyfriend finally had sex no pain but we started to play around him tickling me me moving around and for the last 4 days I've had the worst cramps I never had cramps before it feels awful like if it had penetrated my uterus can't exercise or do much because of fear of messing the device I'm going for my 1 month check up and I might get it removed"


"I was disabled in law enforcement and have had 27 orthopedic surgeries to my knees and 2 to my right arm and 4 to my right shoulder and 3 partial disc removals from L4-L5 then permanent fusion to L4-L5. I am in constant pain for over 20 yrs. Went to pain management doctor's who did everything from temporary to permanent nerve burns, injections you name it. They finally put me on Kadian and it was the best thing ever.  I was finally able to get back to work, stop walking with a cane, and enjoy my life a lot more than what I had over the last 12 years of the 20 in pain.  I was to the point of almost wanting to end it. The only drawback is they are no longer going to make the 100mg capsules that I take, and they are expensive."


"I was put on 120 mg's and that worked for my migraines for about a week or two then they came back just like before. Some weeks were better than others but I always had at least one migraine a week. The Dr. upped my dose to 160 mg's and now I only get one migraine a month. It is a three day migraine related to PMS. I take Imitrex to get rid of these."


"A person should not have to do this 5 times in a lifetime. This prep is going well so far. I mixed the first bottle & water, both refrigerated. It doesn't taste good, but the gallon of golytely was 100 times worse. My second prep years ago had 2 - 2 oz bottles of awful, awful, awful tasting salty stuff. My suggestion is when you start drinking -- gulp it down quickly. I decided to take 2 days to prep by doing a liquid diet for two days. I think that has helped too. "


"This is HORRIBLE tasting!!  Unfortunately, I did not investigate the solution ahead of time to arm myself with lemon wedges and Jolly Ranchers.  - Major mistake on my part.  Awful - Awful - Awful!!  "


"Overall, I've had quite a wonderful experience with NuvaRing. It's very easy to use and it's very effective. It's perfect for those who are incredibly busy or have an unstable lifestyle (college students, bride-to-be, constantly changing work schedule), and I've had very minor side effects. Let's start with the positives though - regular periods that are very light, almost perfect skin except when on the period, no hair loss, no mood changes, and no weight gain. It's also very simple to get off the ring and switch to another birth control or completely stop birth control all together. The two side effects that I've experienced are low libido and I get headaches a lot easier. I can also feel the ring during sex but that's an easy fix."


"40 yrs old. Had testicular cancer at 30, left testi removed. About 2 years after I started having pain in between my scotum and rectum. Was diagnosed with prostatitis , doc put me on rapaflo. Said it could take up to 3 weeks for it to start to work. First thing I noticed with in 24 hrs was retrograde ejaculation.. Vary concerning at first then I read into side effects.. (Thanks doc for not giving any heads up). It took me about 3 days befor my pain was lessened..and about 2 weeks befor it was almost gone. Now I can get away without taking it for 3-5 days befor I start getting sore...but it's a catch 22 since the timing for me to have a normal ejaculation is about 3-4 days off the meds.

3-4 days of use is not enough time for it to work prop."


"ive been taking this med for awhile now'' the pharmacy change it''  to the very lowest cheap genaric they bought and made a HUGE PROFIT ON THE CHEAP STUFF.  my goodness i didnt look at the bottle i kept fallen sleep while driving my kids to school ect'' i couldnt stay awake' 30  mg of the right med was helping me stay focus and alert for sure awake'' cvs , wal mart ect'' if u get ur meds plz ck and c if you got the ones ur dr. prescribed'' it didn't dawn on me for about month' I thought was over working, but i wasnt''  I was getting depressed,  and moody'' I looked at the bottle and brought it back to THE drug store and never went back,  take care all u good ppl that have disorders' we cant help what we're deal with''   Peace And LOVE'    Sharon'"


"Difficult to stop taking due to significant neurological side effects."


"I began taking Sertraline in place of Cymbalta. I had increased Sertraline dose while I decrease the Cymbalta dose. I was very pleasantly surprised that I did not have any withdrawal symptoms from the Cymbalta while I had the sertraline in my system at the same time. When I finally tapered off Cymbalta completely and was only on Sertraline daily (75mg), within 2 days I knew it was not the medication for me because I suddenly became hostile, depressed, had a ton of mood swings, and began having bad panic attacks. Going back to he doc ASAP to fix this."


"I am now 31, degree graduate, with an addictive personality (GP diagnosed). This lead to a period of depression in my early 20's, including the use of LSD, that made me very withdrawn. It was around this time, I was first introduced to Citalopram by my GP. Finding I also had a hereditary depression, I was prescribed 20mg of Citalopram. This worked over a 1 month period, beginning with an initial 2 days of increase anxiety, dry mouth, feelings of dizziness, this was followed by a 'plateau' effect after 2 weeks, full recovery 1 month. I have since been on and off for 10 years now, with excess use of alcohol. I am calm but want to remove alcohol from my life. I intend to use Citalopram for this as advised, to help me adapt to an alcohol free life."


"I'm 33 years old. I've been on this medication for 6 years. My mood, temper and life in general are so much better. I went several years with depression that came on with postpartum. In a state of denial about my condition and not wanting to be labeled, I would not seek treatment. I wish I would have done so much sooner. I cannot say enough about Wellbutrin, it has changed my life. I deal with stress, death and everyday life of raising two teenagers now, which I firmly believe I could not have done without it. I have found you can be happy and would encourage people to get the mental help they need because medications like this one are life changing. I can also add side effects have not been an issue for me at all."


"The pill does lower my blood pressure (caused by another medicine) but makes me very sleepy and lethargic.  I tried taking 1/2 of the pill in the morning and 1/2 in the evening but it is still a big problem.  I am normally energetic and on the go - now I'm on slow to stop!"


"I took Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for a year and gained 15 lbs on my 5'1 normally 105 frame. I am 19 and run 50-70 miles a week for track and cross country. I knew there was something wrong, as before I would lose up to 10 lbs during the season. I told my doctor I thought the weight gain was due to the pills, but she insisted it wasn't. As soon as I got off of OTCL, (became single and didn't need it) I lost those 15 lbs in 3 weeks and shocked my doctor. The pill definitely can, and was, the reason for weight gain. At least I never became pregnant. I have switched to Apri since and I hope I don't go through the same again, anyone have any stories about their experiences with Apri?"


"I took Prozac for 6 years continually.  Started at 20mg/day and went up to 100mg/day at times.  My new doctor took me off of Prozac 2 years ago and put me on another medication.  I have gained 90 pounds in 2 years.  I am pulling out my hair again, intrusive thoughts.  I had no side effects from Prozac, no loss of sexual drive.  I LOVED (and still love) Prozac.  As a matter of fact I am going to the doctor tomorrow to see about getting back on Prozac!"


"I have been diagnosed with COPD and IBS and Acid Reflux unfortunately, and I also had developed a chest infection on Monday. My Doctor prescribed ERYTHROMYCIN 200 mg TABLETS.
This is Friday and I feel a lot lot better. Thank you very much for this discovery."


"I have always struggled with anxiety about little things....Thinking I'm dying over something, or wake up worried if I was going to be worried today (i know, not normal). I would get obsessed with something happening to me. I would be worried someone might break in the house and kept the kitchen light on all night. My brain just couldn't shake things and it would consume me that I felt like I was going crazy. My poor family! I finally agreed to starting meds and my doc started me on celexa. The first few weeks I had anxiety about if the pill was going to work or if I needed to go to a "better" brand but after about 2 months I started feeling like a whole new person, its been 5 months now and I don't ever want to get off them."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Midrin works very well at getting rid of my headache, but I get rebound headaches that are ten times worse."


"It really helped me. Recommend it to anyone."


"I have been on Orencia for 3.5 years and diagnosed 4 years ago. I am so thankful that I responded so well to this medication. Orencia was the first medication and hopefully, the last. Since my first infusion, in 2013, and the symptoms were finally being held at bay, I have not had any issues to date. I, whole heartily, 100% recommend Orecina. It saved my life and gave me my life back. I hope it'll do the same for you."


"I'm in my early 20's and have been dealing with acne since secondary school. Nothing has worked for me, both oral and creams or gels. About a week and a half ago I went to a new dermatologist. He prescribed Aczone. Deciding why not I gave it a go. It's now a full week in and I'm noticing an improvement. I realized that I still have larger bumps but my smaller bumps are basically diminished. I look toward to continuing the use of this product."


"Was on Zoloft and then Effextor (150 mg) and did great on both, but because I am a long-term forever user I needed to change it up -weaning from the effexor was so horrible.  I am now taking 10 mg and it's been a week. I am experiencing sleep disruption, some nausea, I am now VERY regular and my joints and muscles are stiff and sore.  I am finally seeing a glimmer of hope as far as my despair goes - so I am optimistic that the above side affects will go away and all will be well in my world again in a few weeks."


"I started taking it about 3 weeks ago at the 150mg dose for depression. First week I felt very little change but that was actually a plus as many antidepressants I have tried have made me feel physically terrible and mentally kind of.. Sketchy? But with wellbutrin I only had minor headaches when smoking (not surprising considered its original use was as a cessation aid) and some very vivid dreams.
At this point I am really starting to feel a change; random weeping down to once this past week rather than every damn day; starting to feel hopeful about the future again, showing more interest in my past hobbies, feeling grateful.
Only downside is it has really increased my acne, so I had to step up my skincare game."


"Taking it about a month and I have to say thank God I feel calm. I sleep good at night and calm during the day."


"I recently suffered a really bad cycle of my lingering depression and my doctor prescribed Abilify to go along with the Zoloft I've was already on.  I have to say, after only 3 weeks of taking 2.5 mg, I see a tremendous difference in my level of energy and motivation.  I feel alive again.  The only negatives I can mention is that I've had a lot of trouble sleeping, and I tend to feel much more "wired" throughout the day.  But, if that's the trade off for feeling like a human again, I'll take it."


"Made me sleep constantly. Did not stop spasms or pain"


"The taste and texture have been a struggle, and swallowing the prep has been difficult, but the results have been gentle and effective.  At first, I couldn't not swallow the mixture at all, but I mixed it with hot lemon tea and a lot of lemon juice and sipped it slowly.  That made all the difference."


"I struggled with symptoms of depression/anxiety since childhood, something that was the result of a naturally sensitive disposition, family history and a history of bullying and self-worth issues.

I took this medication for 2 years and it was the only one that I could tolerate well that worked. I had previously been on Lexapro, Prozac, Cymbalta, and Wellbutrin, which I had to discontinue due to seizures, though it was effective.

This medication, along with psychotherapy and a lot of work put into rebuilding a social network, helped me recover from very persistent depression. I still struggle with anxiety from time to time but it's nothing major. It gave me the momentum to keep going during a very challenging period of my life."


"I took 3 doses of levaquin and stopped it. I now have joint pain, constant tendonitis
and vision problems.  I hold Drs accountable for all of the damage done by this class of drug. For God's sake levaquin is used to treat anthrax infections, it should NOT be used for ear infections, UTIs or sinus infections. It should only be used if the other option is death. I'm serious, if you have a life threatening infection, use it because you have nothing to lose from it but otherwise never take it."


"The best product. I will recommend this. My advice is to have patience with it and your acne will disappear."


"I had some positive experience from receiving Actemra . However about 1 year ago I suddenly developed pulmonary hypertension and RT sided heart failure, suddenly developed severe dyspnea, chest pain, chest & throat pressure, unable to lay flat or symptoms worsened. I was referred to a cardiologist who performed blood work. The BNP result being 982, a chemical stress test, a right sided heart cath that showed high pressure in the right side of the heart. I was referred to Dr who specializes in pulmonary HTN. After about 6 months he ordered repeat testing, Where we discovered the pulmonary HTN had subsided. Normal heart pressures and BNP decreased to approximately 200. No other RA meds taken since."


"I am 23 years old, 5'8''. I started Phentermine Sept. 25th at 255 pounds. I have been working out way before I started the pill and had lost about 20 pounds but then hit a plateau for about a month. I still workout everyday and replace breakfast and dinner with natural fruit shakes, any fruit I like just add water, protein, for lunch I have a salad with any meat cooked with no oils. I drink plenty of water and workout for about 1 1/2hrs 6 days a week. Today is day 6 on the pill and I weigh in at 248.2lbs.
The only negative side effect is some insomnia."


"Love this medicine."


"I'm a former smoker of 16 years and have been not smoking because of Zyban for one week so far and haven't looked back.  The medicine definitely helps the vicious cravings, however it still takes will power and you have to truly want to quit.

Side effects are minimal. Make sure your second dose of the day is not at night time as it will keep you up for most of the night.  Other then slight jitters (like a caffeine rush), I'm not experiencing anything major.  The caffeine rush feeling has cut down on my coffee intake, so another plus!  Coffee is a trigger for me to want to smoke, so more power to Zyban!"


"Many times when I take this capsule in the morning, and have a bowel  movement after that on the same morning, I see the pill come out in the feces whole, same color, undisturbed looking, and wondering if it has done any good at all.  I have asked pharmacist and they say it is possible that it has worked some.  That's hard to believe.  Even my doctor says that.  That is still hard to believe.  Capsules usually are absorbed, aren't they?

I have been told that I have Mild Cognitive  Impairment."


"It is like a light switch has been turned on.   I finally feel "normal" for the first time in many years."


"I have been on Trilafon (perphenazine) for about 4 years.  I'm on a low does, 4mg x3 times a day.  From what I understand this medicine is a lot more gentle than most medicines that would treat bipolar, schizophrenia, and other forms of psychosis.  Its not good for elderly as the higher the dosage you get the more at risk you are for tardiv dyskinesia (or tremors of the face, arms, and hands).  I am 28 and this medicine worked when Lexapro, Geodon, Haldol, and risperidone wouldn't.  I am given it for Pscyhsis.  In addition I am on 40 mg Viibryd and 0.5mg of Klonopin.  I would recommend this medicine. "


"I was addicted to Heroin for a little over a year. I've been taking Subpxone for about a week now and they've really helped with my withdrawals and cravings. 4Mg , Twice daily."


"I had sex on March 13th and the condom broke. My partner realized before he could orgasm, but I didnt even want to take the slight chance of a precum pregnancy. Also, this was 11 days after the first day of my last period, so I was in the most fertile time of my cycle, about to hit my ovulation day. I took the pill around 15 hours after, on March 14th.

3 days later, I got spotting that left after a few days. I started experiencing nausea, mood swings, bloating, increased appetite, and felt hot always for a little over a week. My *very regular* period was supposed to start on March 30th. Well, I got it 20 days late, today, slightly over 5 weeks after taking the pill. I took 4 pregnancy tests in this time. Be aware, it CAN make you very late"


"I had pneumonia & had been sick for 2 weeks. The Dr. had prescribed another antibiotic & steroids first.  When I wasn't better, the Dr. prescribed Levaquin. The first day was ok, just really tired. The second day I started having joint pain & my ribs were really hurting (not from coughing)& still really exhausted. By the third day I could barely walk because of my knees being so swollen & painful & hard to breathe because of the rib pain. Called the Dr. & he said to get off of it & come in for blood tests. I have been off of it for almost 2 weeks & still can barely walk & the ribs are still really sore. After reading the rest of the stories, it makes me very angry that this drug and it's family is still out there to harm people. RIDICULOUS!"


"So far this B.C. is effective I haven't gotten pregnant again and my daughter's almost 1yrs old. The thing I hate the most are the unpredictable cycles. My first cycle with this B.C. lasted 3-5days. I'm pushing 3 weeks duration with cycle that I'm currently on. To make matters worse it came at the most inconvenient time...2 days before a surprise Birthday cruise."


"This medicine is amazing. Helps quickly with my anxiety and panic attack. Makes me feel like a total different person. I feel like the same active person I used to be especially raising two baby boys."


"Over 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with myofacial pain syndrome. This was before fibromyalgia had a name. I tried everything with no relief. In the 90's, I ruptured a disc and the doctor prescribed Ultram. It not only gave relief for the disc problem, but felt like a miracle drug for fibromyalgia. I have allergies to most medications, but amazingly, I could take Ultram. Without this medication, I would not have a life. I have never suffered from any side effects. I take three tablets daily. I do not take any other medications for fibromyalgia. The only other medicine I take is for under active thyroid."


"Have been taking generic spironolactone 100mg 2x day (morning and night) for acne and hormonal hairless (female pattern, testosterone related). It has greatly reduced hair loss And skin has been clearer also. Libido has been affected somewhat, not sure how much though. No significant side effects yet. Much better than birth control pills that I stuck with for years, as I knew hair loss would intensify when I stopped them and boy did they ever."


"In bed 24 hours severe pain head to toe blurred vision vomiting light sensitive extreme this all happened on the day that I took imdur - I'm taking 30 milligrams the next day I was in bed till about 2 I felt 75% better did not take imdur called the doctor and told them what was going on would not recommend this medication to my worst enemy"


"No side effects, very light periods. On my 3rd month, and no weight gain. Had a bit of a long period the first month, but since then, it's been perfect. The only gripe I have is that because it's so new, it's crazy expensive. $45 a month even with health insurance."


"This product is AMAZING! I honestly saw a difference in once day, I have mild acne and a lot of under the skin spots on my forehead, on the cheek area I had huge pores and produced a lot of oil... My skin was a mess. After one day larger pimples reduced and my under the skin spots disappeared within a month! Unfortunately they have discontinued this product( I used the blue packaging one) the green packaging DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!"


"I had unprotected sex on Tuesday the day before my period was due and my boyfriend pulled out but then we went for round 2. In the moment I didn't think about the leftover semen. But 68 hours later, I took the Plan B pill. I waited and stressed about whether or not I would get pregnant. But after about a week after taking the pill, I had brown spotting and then later that day I got my period! I'm so glad to say that it really worked for me."


"I slather the entire pill w toothpaste right before I take it & it goes down like a gel pill."


"I'm 52 married and thought I had a UTI so my Dr was treating me for that,  a year later I found out my husband gave me herpes.  I had a small outbreak last year but through it was from my new soap and another out break this year.  My husband never had a outbreak but tested positive and decided to share he had an affair.  This medicine has been a true blessing to me because I don't have anymore pain or side effects.  Now I can concentrate on my divorce."


"I was in the emergency room due to crippling pain from my head through all my joints and bones. They gave me a shot of tramadol first and it didn't phase me. Then they gave me the Nubain and for once, I wasn't in pain. Most pain medicines won't work on me, but this worked wonders!"


"Before I started it, I was MORTIFIED of it based on all these terrible reviews. Within 2-3 weeks women were complaining about hair falling out, suicidal, nausea, mood swings, heavy bleeding and so forth and so forth. I'm going on 7 weeks and haven't had not one of those symptoms with a slight exception of the nausea. I get nauseous probably once every few days. Sensation last for about a minute and it's gone. I can't even pinpoint the BC is the culprit. My experience with Chateal has been a breeze so far, and I hope it stays that way. So don't let these negative reviews steer you the wrong way. Everyone is different and it clearly works great for many, not all but many. Most importantly I'M NOT PREGNANT!!!!"


"This product did not work for me I still live in pain in my knees give out all the time."


"As a pregnant, working mom of a toddler, this medicine is my enemy.  I would rather feel the nausea than feel like I can't lift my head off of the pillow.  I have taken just one before bed a few nights in the last week and each time I do, I feel like I have the worst hangover the next day.  I can't function.  I don't recommend to anyone unless they have their entire pregnancy to hibernate."


"I have been on this birth control for several years now. Before Levora, I took Lutera, which is just a lower dose of the same types of hormones. I started having some breakthrough bleeding on Lutera, so my doctor recommended a higher dosage.

I haven't had any side effects with Levora. My period usually lasts only 3 days with a light flow and minor cramps. (My period used to be unbearable with heavy flow and bad cramps.)"


"Please bring Drixoral back.  It is the ONLY thing that works for me and my husband.  NONE of the new drugs work at all for us.  Please start making Drixoral again."


"This miracle drug has saved me so many times. I suffer from unbearable abdominal pains from ovulation to period... It's very effective and goes directly to the source of ANY other  pain I suffer. Whoever invented it should be called a hero.!!"


"Celexa works great for Depression. Most days I feel fine but there are other days where I feel as though I was out partying all night messed up on drugs. Like an acid trip if you know what I mean. It has made me kind of numb to the things that were bringing me down but unfortunately I suffer from all the side affects."


"I have had asthma since I was 13, I am now 47. I have tried many inhalers but most either did not work or only served to make me dizzy or sick to my stomach. This was the only one that worked."


"I have only used this spray for two days, but wow! I feel like I'm 30 again....I love it!! I didn't know I felt that bad, until my first dose. About 7 hours later, I felt like dancing, and I've been super happy ever since."


"Been wearing the patches for a week now. I can tell a difference. The urge to use the bathroom greatly decreased. So glad they are OTC! The only problem i have is when I remove the patch it leaves adhesive on the skin, its hard to get off. And waterproof would be better. Maybe they will update them sooner or later. But def recommended"


"I've had hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember, especially on my hands and feet. My dermatologist prescribed it to me last week. I've been using Hypercare for a few days now- it's definitely dried my skin out, and I haven't been sweating as much. Yet I still have the occasional outbreaks. However, I talked to my doctor, who said that it takes usually around 2 weeks for the product to really affect you. I'm hanging in there, and so far satisfied."


"I've been taking lexapro for about a year now and it seems to help a lot with my social anxiety. I don't think about nor care what people think as much as I used to. But it does make me kinda have like no emotion toward people's feeling & what not. Which is a downside. But I used to be afraid of big crowds. I wouldn't really want to be around people but at the same time I did because I wanted to have friends and be outgoing but it was extremely hard for me. Also I had like mild depression, always negative thoughts. But since I've been taking it it's definitely made me more positive and more friendly. Before I would always worry about everything and when I say everything I mean everything lol. With out it I do have bad withdrawal & it sucks."


"I've struggled with anxiety and depression for a long time. By the time I started on sertraline, I felt I was already pretty good at dealing with the depression side of things without medication. This drug made me getting up in the mornings easier. I felt less "groggy" than usual when I was on it. Other people noticed that I seemed a bit more positive. The downsides are, that I'd wake up in a bad mood: feeling like I hadn't slept enough or that I'd dreamed too much, and It didn't really make any noticeable difference to my anxiety."


"Woke up with nausea and diarrhea and unbearable pain in my left side. Days later ended up at the ER and cat scan showed 6mm stone on left , Dr. put me on Flomax 1X per day for 10 days and pain meds. Followed up with urologist 9 days after taking the Flomax and an ultrasound showed no more stone on my left side I passed it without feeling it.  I have another 5mm on my right but now that I know what to expect I will have Flomax and pain meds on hand for the next episode."


"Abilify has been a miracle for me. For 14 years I've tried to get relief from major depression, and until I got on this medicine nothing else worked. No weight gain a little side effect. My biggest gripe, TOO MUCH ENERGY. "


"I took Femcon for a total of 6 years it cleared up my acne and I lost weight while taking it. When my husband and I decided to have kids it took 3 months each child for the pill to leave my system. Overall this is a great birth control method to take. The only time I had nauseation was when I missed a pill and needed to take two at a time."


"DON'T GET IT!!!! It is horrible. I had it put in 8 weeks after my daughter was born, I have had it in for 5 weeks and can't get it out soon enough. I'm actually on the phone now scheduling it. My mood swings and anxiety have been unmanageable. I feel bad for my husband who's getting the brunt of it, it's uncontrollable. I don't feel like myself. I also have been bleeding non stop for over 3 weeks and have been gaining weight in my stomach and never had these  issues before with birth control. I hate how I feel and would not recommend this to anyone."


"I've had the implanon inserted for about 6 months now and I have experienced horrible anxiety , weight gain and a weak bladder

My period sometimes comes twice a month

Getting it removed ASAP"


"I have experienced vertigo off and on for two years. Twice the vertigo was so bad I could not stand or sit on my own and I had dry heaves. Meclizine worked very well for me and I experienced minimal side effects. It does not make me so drowsy that I can't work, so that's a plus."


"Hi I am a 35 yo with one child and a tubal ligation.  I have had the Mirena almost two years. I have it in place due to bleeding cause from my fibroids. I was bleeding 20 days a month. Initially I was grateful to have a normal cycle. As time progresses I have started spotting for 5 day then bleeding heavy with cramping. I have a foul odor and back pain keep getting Antibiotics and it goes away while taking them then comes back a few days later. I have been very uncomfortable, acne, bloating, and Moody. I don't like it and it has to go. It does not effect women the same but consider alternative options before choosing this one."


"I lost all negative thoughts.  Sleep very well (prior to medicine, sleeping all night was a problem).  I now find humor in everything.  Things look better.  Enjoy music and TV so much more.  This change for the better, occurred within one or two days of taking this medicine.  "


"I had my Mirena inserted yesterday and yes it was a bit painful.  I had a baby without meds so compared to that it wasn't as bad.  I was nervous before the doctor inserted it, but he was very nice and explained what he was going to do and what I was going to feel before he even did anything.  I had a bit of cramping during and immediately after, but now it has stopped the day after.  I've been having some spotting, but nothing too bad, just enough that I need to use a pantyliner.  It's too soon to post any other symptoms or reviews so I will post later on.  Thank goodness i did not read any review prior to having this put in or I might not have."


"I had the original Synvisc 3 in my left knee with no measurable improvement and ultimately had a complete knee replacement. My right knee is a complete success story. I have had four Synvisc One injections and I am scheduled for another next month. The pain relief was incredible, yes the shot itself is uncomfortable but not excruciating. I have had anywhere from five to six months of relief each time. I would recommend this procedure to anyone."


"I took 2 pills at 3:00pm and fell asleep just woke up at 10:00pm. I still have a fever and coughing intensely. Did not work for me at all."


"When I started taking this medication I was really hopeful, but the first two weeks I noticed no results. However, my family said I was distant, and "here, but not here." After a couple of months (as encouraged by the doctor) I still didn't feel like my depression was managed as well as it was on other medications."


"Initially had good response to gel but 10 days after starting it, I looked like I had a mild sunburn. I then started getting  multiple finger joint swelling with swelling,  redness and pain, and then gastric problems. Obviously having side effects. Back to neomycin creme!"


"I have very bad panic and anxiety attacks. Attack would last for up to 3 to 4 hours. It first started when I was 30 years old and was admitted to a mental institution for a month for my own protection. I am now 46 years old ,when I now feel an attack coming on I can basically control it now and take 1 mg of Klonopin. It does take some time to work, but when it kicks in, it works great. I did at one stage try go off it, but the withdrawals were so bad I had to go back on it. I take 1mg at night and then as needed. To all you people out there who think you are alone with this monster in your head, you are not. Think and say positive thoughts, its works."


"I'm 18 years old and I got the implant about a month and a half ago, almost two months ago . So far I've had a little bit of random acne appearing on my face , and I've been feeling a bit bloated . My only concern is the way it makes your period irregular . For example I normally get mins for 4-5 days , but today is day 7 or 8 and that's kind of concerning ."


"Had the this coil fitted 31.8.2017. 1st period 16.9.2017 and still bleeding so frustrating no sex drive low in moods. Not pleased its very misleading.  Should have stuck with copper coil."


"I started taking tretinoin along with doxycycline antibiotics in November of 2014. It's currently July 2015 and my skin is clear. This stuff is amazing! I used to have severe acne for years. There were some days I didn't even want to step foot out of the house. This medication changed my life. I had tried everything in the past. It definitely takes a while to really see results but it's worth it because my skin is almost completely clear now!"


"I am 62, recovering from 2 heart attacks, sepsis from a 4 inch liver abcess, acute diverticulitis, type 2 diabetes, severe arthritis and moderate to severe stenosis from spinal injuries to my neck and lumbar. I also tend to depression. I teach AP English at a nationally ranked high school. I love my work and don't want to retire, even when I feel bad, even though the work load is intense. When I could no longer keep up then, my PCP drew enough blood to animate Frankenstein's monster and prescribed 50,000 IU of D2. Within 24 hrs of first dose I had my best day in many months, then another and another. No side effects (not even migraines that I have suffered since age 14). Who knew vitamin D made so much a difference?"


"I have been taking Oxybutynin for approximately two months now due to urinary incontinence and bladder pain.  It does help somewhat for the bladder spasms, but not all of the time.  I have also noticed that the skin on my face and mouth is extremely dry.  The last and worst side effect that I just noticed a couple of days ago is dry eyes and blurred vision. "


"Well, let me say that I read through everyone's posts prior to posting. I used ALLI and found it to be exactly as stated. I no longer use this product. Losing weight is about getting off your big butt and making the appropriate choices! MOVE and EAT HEALTHY! I run daily and I make wise food choices for the most part, and when I don't I KNOW that I WILL BE THE ONE to SUFFER! I am the one who pays the price for the choices that I make! Time for people to start taking responsibility for themselves and stop trying to make someone else the scapegoat.  If you want to lose the weight, cut back on calories and move your body - that is the key!!!!  Come on people, it isn't rocket science! I did it and lost 112 pounds. Not easy but you can do it!"


"I've had Nexplanon in for a year now and absolutely LOVE IT! Getting it in was tolerable, just a small shot of lidocaine to numb it and the rest I didn't feel at all. After about 4 days my period started and lasted about two weeks but after that I haven't even spotted once. Seriously, no period for a whole year is amazing. I haven't had one pregnancy scare and my long term boyfriend and I use no other form of protection. My boobs have gone from a 36B to a 36D though, but that's not a bad thing! My mood is finally normal which is unusual for me on birth control, and my skin hasnot gotten any worse at all, if anything it's gotten a little better! I love Nexplanon! I should be the spokesperson!"


"Ineffective for me, but no side effects."


"I have been so ill for days I get sick a lot so I tried to brush it off but it’s to the point I was considering going to the hospital. I’m vomiting so bad it’s painful. I think about recently being prescribed this med and notice that oh it’s this damn pill that has me so violently ill. I’m still vomiting violently that’s not even right.  Omg someone save me  lol also tired achy skin blisters feel off like speedy light headed. Def no longer taking them"


"I got viberzi and took 2 pills a day 75 mg....I took them for  2 weeks and had to stop. I couldn't have a  bowel movement...I woke up one Sunday morning at 4 am and my stomache felt like a volcano. Finally I had a bowel movement and it felt like I lost 20 pounds... It didn't work for me because you cannot go that long without a bowel movement. I Got this medicine for IBS and diarrhea..It stopped the diarrhea and stopped all bowel movement..I literally thought I was going to die because my stomache was hurting so bad. I was hoping this medicine would work but it didn't..."


"With proper dosing, i.e.,enough mgs, Ativan works very well in controlling my irritability and anxiety. The only temporary, mild side-effects that occurred were a slight lack of motivation, slight feelings of disorientation, which these dissipated quickly."


"I started taking Pristiq about 3 1/2 weeks ago to help with stress and anxiety.  I have had mild headaches and a little bit of nausea. I immediately feel sleepy when I take it so I am taking it at night before bed. I do think that I am sleeping more through the night than before. I have tried a few other medication's such as Zoloft and Prozac.  I felt very sedated, no sex-drive, wanted to sleep all the time (before kid's) really could not even cry if I wanted to.  I also gained 40lbs which made things worse.  I am still questioning myself if I really need medication or just accept the fact that I cannot have a house with everything in place with young kid's and that not everyone is going to be as kind as I think they should."


"I was prescribed this medicine for an infection of my breast. After 3 days still no change, it was not strong enough and I am now on a stronger medicine. The good news is that while I took the prescription I had no side effects. I drank lots of water and took it with a small meal. I wish it had killed my infection because I think the next prescription I have to take is going to take a toll on my tummy."


"Prazosin is the best thing that has happened to me. I've gone from 3-4 nightmares a week to occasionally one every other week, but when I have them I have no reactions and I forget the content immediately upon awakening. I don't have any side-effects or problems with lowered blood pressure in the morning. Seriously, ask your prescribing doctor about this medicine if you're struggling with nightmares. It will change your life."


"I'm on day 3 of the 7 day treatment. I'm a college student so I went to the store and purchased this product after my yeast infection had been irritating me to the point I wanted to scratch in public. I wanted immediate relief so I didn't wait until the night time to insert. I immediately started to itch something freaking horrible, I was sawing at my vagina through my pants. But I thought this was the infection. I did the next two treatments at night and I've come to realize that it's the freaking product making me itch so bad. I can't sleep for trying to tighten my kegel muscles to get some relief. I also tried to push it out - I'm so irritated. I will not do the next 4 treatments."


"My drug of choice was heroin, and lots of it. There is no doubt that without methadone I would not be alive today, and for this I am very thankful. Unfortunately though, like many others I am finding it very difficult to get off methadone, it seems to be a stronger physical addiction than heroin. However, as methadone enables former opiate addicts to live a "normal" life while treating/battling their addiction I feel methadone is immensely valuable. "


"I've followed my prep to a "T". I finished the first liter a half hour ago, I'm now sitting on the throne and Moviprep is doing an awesome job. I had absolutely no problems, it is probably a good idea to keep it cold, drink it quickly and maybe pinch your nose if you don't like the smell. My real problem with the whole procedure is not having anything to eat in the 36 hours prior to the scoping."


"I take 3 x 25 mg tablets twice a day to prevent daily Migraines.  I used to get between 25 to 31 Migraines every month before starting this medicine 6 1/2 years ago.  Now I only get about one moderate Migraine every four to six weeks. "


"Long lasting ,powerful but mellow at the same time. I suffer from social anxiety, panic attacks that come from nowhere. Klonopin helps me so that I am not nervous all the time and can talk around groups of people. "


"I was on a few meds that didn't help much. But when I started taking Buspar, I noticed I felt more at ease and I am now able to do a lot more than I was able to do before. I suffer from severe panic attacks and was at the point of giving up. I lost friends and confused family members because they could not relate to my bouts of panic. Fear from panic limited me to do the most simple things like shop, travel or even drive in cars with friends. I couldn't enjoy a meal at a restaurant without looking for an exit. I couldn't go to crowded places without wanting to run. But now after a 6 weeks on this medication. I'm able to concentrate and enjoy life so much better. I'm nowhere near 100% but this medication is saving me little by little."


"I suffered with mental health issues for many years I refused to take antidepressants until I met with a mental health doctor.
I got diagnosed with Bipolar type 2
Since taking this medication my life has changed I can work full time and have had NO suicidal thoughts and hardly get tearful
But I have experienced memory loss short term thoughts a bit more forgetful"


"Effexor XR changed my life. With Effexor, the anxiety is gone and I am able to stay calm in any situation and sleep well every night. My doctor has told me I can NEVER get off this medication because it changes something in the brain having to do with serotonin. No hope of functioning without this in my system. Well, I can live with that. I've got my life back."


"This is absolutely the WORST decision I've ever made. I've had Skyla for 3 weeks now and I've had an impeccable amount of side effects. My mood swings are ridiculous and I've cried almost every night for the past 2 weeks, and I hardly ever cry. I've also had immense pain in my hips and back since I got it, and they do not go away even after taking norco (I had reconstructive ankle surgery 2 days post insertion) and that doesn't even touch the pain. I'm emotionally and physically drained. My parents are annoyed with my constant pain. My boyfriend feels completely terrible for me. Not to mention insertion hurt like no other. I couldn't even sit down afterwards. I go to my OB Monday to get it removed. I'm beyond done."


"At my last visit my doctor recommended trying Lo Loestrin and explained it as the "evolutionary" step-up from Loestrin 24. I was nervous, but my results have been amazing. I had maybe 2 days of spotting the first month but now I have a 1 day light period, hardly any cramps, and no mood swings. I've been on it for 4 months now and I am SO HAPPY I gave Lo Loestrin a chance."


"This medicine is incredible. I've had ADD for about 20 years, as long as I've been alive and college has exacerbated the condition, so my neurologist prescribed Ritalin to me. This starts to wear off after about 2.5-3.0 hours, but it works absolute MIRACLES. The whole time before, whenever I tried to work, it was like I was seeing the world through warped glasses and my mind was just foggy, like it was full of ice and cotton, but now the entire world is beautifully, wonderfully clear! This is truly an amazing medicine, but be sure to follow your doctor's orders with it, as it can have side effects."


"Used this med for my last two pregnancies under doctors med advice. Hated it! All I could do while on this med was sleep. I felt high all the time and my doctor didn't seem to believe me. Maker claims it doesn't effect the baby however I'm not convinced. Only time I felt any baby movement was when I stop taking the medication. When I discontinued to use it I felt as if I was having withdrawals and was forced to continue it. I have four living children of which 2 of them I took zofran for nausea and they were all born healthy. The last 2 pregnancies both ended up in losses. Both had all the genetic testing normal. 1 was 13 wks the other 21 wks. I learned this drug was removed from mrkt for its dangers & reintroduced with minor changes made."


"I've been on Nexplanon for about 3-4 months now. After about two weeks I started bleeding pretty much non-stop for about a month. I've never had regular periods and they always been light or moderate with only minimal cramping. The month long bleeding I had was definitely light, but steady and a nuisance. However, now I hardly bleed at all. I said I don't have any periods but occasionally I'll have a couple days of light bleeding. I haven't gotten pregnant, and have had no weight gain. I'm sorry to hear others experience has been less satisfactory but I would definitely recommend Nexplannon. I love that I don't have to worry about getting pregnant or taking a pill regularly. If it matters, I'm 19."


"Started Metronidazole 500mg (prescribed twice a day for 7 days) after testing positive for bacterial vaginitis. I took one dose at 11 am and the second dose at 11 pm. About an hour later I noticed my arms were turning a bit red and then I started itching on my back and then my chest. I looked in the mirror and I have these welts. They itch a lot and my throat is burning and I have a bit of a headache and my eyelids feel heavy. I took two Benadryl hoping the redness and itchiness doesn't get worse.  I will stop taking it and call my doctor. I hope I'm not having an allergic reaction."


"Went from having to get up 3 times each night to urinate to only once each night!  Has made for a much more restful nights sleep!  Great medicine."


"For 18 months have had severe lumbar, butt and leg pain. Got spinal injections that helped some, but leg pain still was especially bad. Finally had back surgery, which helped the lower back, but not the pain in my hips and legs, which was intense. As usual, had physical therapy, massage, and finally acupuncture. Nothing worked. My doctor finally started me on Lyrica at 50 mg before bed, then 100, and finally at 200 mg before bedtime. It has reduced the pain about 70 percent. It also helps me sleep like a log, and the only side effects are some dizziness in the morning, but by around 10 AM that goes away. Great stuff!"


"Non-professional concern that Idaho Hick's reaction is close enough to symptoms of acute angle glaucoma, potentially caused by the drops, to warrant further investigation, but my experience is increased blurred vision that continues 18 hours the ophthalmologist appointment, and a physiologically depressed heaviness.  Reported to doctors but they are unconcerned."


"Start weight: 246lbs at doctor on 2/01/2017.
Started taking Phentermine 37.5 on 2/02/17 (Friday). Went to the beach that night, came back Wednesday and weighed 242lbs (at doctor). I ate grilled chicken salads and one or two chocolate chip granola bars a day and drank lots of water. While on vacation I walked a lot since I was at the beach sight seeing, did some shopping and just did normal vacation stuff. I didn't workout while I was gone. Today is 2/12/2017 and according to my scales I weigh 240lbs (scales are dialed up 3lbs to match doctors). Since I've been back from vacation I've worked out 7 mins every day and went walking, slow pace. I eat salads and granola bars still and sometimes have a heavier dinner. Mental side effects exp."


"I have been on Ortho Cyclen for a few months and my periods have finally regulated. The only difference in my body image is that I have gained a cup size and my butt has gotten bigger, but my weight is the same so I have no problem with that!"


"I have been on Pristiq 100 mg for over six years now. I was 18 when I started, and I had pervasive and disturbing suicidal thoughts, serious self harm issues, and neuroticism up the wazoo. I would be dead if it weren't for taking this drug.
I just want to say that you shouldn't be scared about taking the generic. It works just as fantastically for me as Pristiq and is significantly cheaper. "


"Nucynta is indeed a Novel medicine. I have Scoliosis with a 31 Cobb angle and I have tried so many different medications, alternative medicine (including Chiropractors and Acupuncturists). The reason why Nucynta is great is because it takes away most of my pain and it relaxes me. It has no "Euphoric Feeling" which makes it good for long term use without a potential for abuse. That's why I believe that your Pain Doctor would also feel more comfortable prescribing it. I have been on it for a month now and I can tell that it works perfectly. The only problem with Nucynta is that it makes you drowsy (and for me it makes me go to sleep, so I cannot take it in the morning). "

"I'm 47 and have severe insomnia associated with Young Onset Parkinson's. Normally I take stilnox/Ambien nightly for sleep but recently I went through a 2 month period when the Ambien was not working effectively so my doctor gave me this stuff...It gave me the worst, most vivid nightmares I can ever remember having. Thankfully the Ambien is back to working so I won't be taking this horrendous stuff ever again.....If you have Parkinson's, I would definitely just say no to seroguel as I have talked to several other Parkinson's patients that have had a bad time with it."


"I just got off of this medication after taking it for 1 yr. Sure it keeps depression at bay, but I  experienced some horrible side effects that my doctor didn't even warn me about! I gained 80 lbs in 1 yr on this med. I went from being a healthy 170 lbs (women's size 12) to a lethargic 250 lbs (size 20). All I wanted to do on this medicine was eat. Another side effect was that I was tired all the time. I would sleep for 14 hours and still be tired.This medication also raised my blood sugar and my general practitioner was ready to put me on medication for type 2 diabetes. I'm only 25 and just want to be healthy again. So glad I got off this medication. Been off it for 5 days (now on Viibryd) and already feel a million percent better!"


"I'm 23 and have been on YAZ for 3 years. I switched to YAZ from Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo because Ortho was causing me major mood swings. YAZ took care of the mood swings, I have virtually none on YAZ, but it came with other side effects. The worst of them is debilitating intense headaches 2-3 days before my period. When I start taking the placebo pills, I get blinding headaches! Also, decreased sex drive, and tiredness. YAZ, did however give me very regular periods... they are like clockwork... I know down to the hour when I'm going to get my period and it only lasts 4 days, and is light because of the headaches, I am switching to Loestrin 24 fe. I hope it gets rid of the headaches and some of the other side effects. GOOD LUCK!"


"The combination of hormones seems to be good for me. I worry about not getting the right dose though."
