"I've had a lot of trouble getting the ring to stay in place! I've had one baby so perhaps things are a little looser in there now, but it's still very annoying. It constantly slips down (not all the way out) and the bottom of it sits outside the opening. Also, it causes a huge amount of discharge to be released all the time. I'm constantly wet and sticky. So, those are the negatives. I gave this a 5 out of 10 because I haven't noticed any weight changes or mood swings which is a huge plus. Also it's nice not to have to remember every day to take a pill. However, that also makes the chances of forgetting to take the ring out or change it much higher, because you're not thinking about it every day!"


"I have been on the NR for a few months now and I love it! I have HSV2, and so some birth controls can make my breakouts more frequent, but NR does not have that side affect. I have noticed that i'm a little more hungry, but that is something I need to consciously control. Other than that is has been wonderful."


"wow I cannot believe the negative comments.. well i was on many different medications, i mean from oxycontin, opana, dilaudid u name it i been on it. I have chronic back pain had 2 surgeries. I personal love the medication it works for me and as far as having nausea absoulety none at all. Every one say they got nausea, maybe u need to start out at a low dose. I am on the highest dose and i love it. yes the film does stick but its not bad to me.so to anyone out there i suggest everyone is different and give it a try. idk maybe it works best for different kinds of pain. when i was on oxycontin now that made me nausea and felt like i could't breathe.."


"This medication did not work well for me. I keep hearing voices while I go to sleep. It seems like the medication only works for 3 or 4 hours. Then, it stops working. I am also having a problem with center of balance with this medication. I keep having mini-vertigos. I saw the other ratings and I was tempted but this medication just did not workout for me."


"Xanax is all too popular for its strong calming effects with rapid onset. I do not recommend this as a daily medication at all. I in fact advise to use Xanax as least as possible. It is one of the hardest drug to kick. Abrupt discontinuation call either kill you or make you loose your mind and body. Used sparingly (for flights, funerals etc) it is mostly helpful but in a way a succubus of a drug. It'll lure you to think it's safe, fun and calming; but it will sooner or later create retrograde anxiety in between doses. A half-life of 6 hours is just asking for it..."


"I started taking the Belviq about 2 weeks ago and I'm already down 10 pounds. The bad part is I have the painful urination, frequent urge to go, back pain, increased headaches. I have gone to 2 specialist about my "bladder issue" and they have confirmed that this medication is the cause. It sucks because it's effective but I can't take the irritation."


"My doctor told me that this was the smartest and safest option especially for teens (lower hormone dosage) she even has one herself. She did say the placement would be painful so she prescribed me one 5 mg pill of Valium to take an hour before and told me to take 800 mg of ibuprofen with the Valium. I got there feeling very relaxed and I also think it made the entire process a lot less awkward, usually I would have found both the position in front of the doctor very weird, let alone an assistant she needed to come in halfway through that said "nice to meet you" haha a great time to meet someone. The whole thing took about 10 minutes and really didn't hurt, I give credit to the meds, I got some cramps once they hit my cervix and some after."


"If you're a person who normally has sensitive or dry skin, then I highly reccomend NOT using this. I was recommended Epiduo Gel by my GP to treat acne. 3 days after using it my face became very dry and it got worse even after I stopped using it. It started to sting and burn a lot and when I'd apply my normal moisturiser the stinging I experienced was so severe, especially around my eyes and my skin became very red. Any product that really dries out the skin is very bad, because it makes skin age quickly and causes wrinkles. My experience with Epiduo was bad but reading other people's reviews, most say it worked for them aside from the dryness and redness of their skin."


"Good job Naproxen. My back pain is gone. "


"Works wonders, but the pump never functions beyond 30 out 120 times that is supposed to function"


"I was diagnosed with strep throat a few days ago and was prescribed zpak because of a penicillin allergy. I took two pills on the first day, and felt better within 24 hours. The only downside to this medicine is when I took the first dose (2 pills, 500mg total) I had HORRIBLE sharp pains from what was gas followed by diarrhea within 2 hours. The next day I took one pill, and had no side effects. I am on my third day and had pains, similar to harsh period cramps and then diarrhea also within two hours. I find it helpful to eat greek yogurt before taking this medicine! It helps ease the pain and I did not have loose stools on the days I ate the yogurt. Overall this medicine is great because it works extremely fast"


"I just started taking this drug about 3 weeks ago.  The first week was a little rough and it leaves a funny taste in my mouth.  However, now that I am getting used to it, I find it helpful.  I can take less Carbidopa/Levodopa and has much smoother transition between end/begin of medication times.

ONE THING I HAVE FOUND is the importance of staying hydrated.  Dehydration is a side effect and it shows.  If I don't watch it, I start feeling bad & symptoms flare up.  After I drink a large glass of water, I start feeling better."


"I switched from butrans patch (which caused some itching and did not seem to last past day six) to Belbuca.  I am on day 4 and have no pain relief.  I have severe diabetic neuropathy an the butrans made the pain manageable, especially at night.  The film does not completely dissolve, I do not recommend trying this medication unless you have some sort of back up medication for pain relief."


"I started back in October after suffering about 6months with acne that just kept on getting worse.I had pus filled pimples and small cysts. I didn't see major results until about 2 months in and even then I was still getting one or two cysts. On my third month I wasn't getting cysts and would only get small pimples. I suggest if you start the pill and don't see results immediately to just stick with it for at least 3 months. After my pimples went away I got red hyperpigmentation (which alot of people have been blaming on the pill; its not its from the old pimples) so now I put a little bit of lemon on those parts to lighten them & its been working. As for my period it last for 4 days now instead of 7 but I still bleed alot."


"I do suffer from cold sores, especially when I'm stressed. Unfortuently I don't get the tingling stage, I just wake up to a bump on my lip. For anyone that knows me, I absolutely hate cold sores! It makes me feel so crap about myself. I used to suffer really bad to the point it would spread, and it would have 3-4 coldsores on my lips very painful! Nothing would help. Until I found this cream! It is an angel from above, a God send. This cream clears my coldsores up within a day!! So next morning I wake up and it's gone, even when it's blistered, it's gone! It's expensive for a tiny tube but defiantly worth it!!"


"After going through unbearable pain for so long ...after my first injection of 3 injections total, it was immediate relief of all pain, a miracle. It has been 2 1/2 years and still no pain or limitations. My right knee is now beginning to have pain also and I am getting my first injection of 3 total injections next week in that knee.  This has been a miracle for me."


"I've been on Lyza for one year. I just turned 41 and have no children. I was previously on Camrese and loved it-felt happy, confident and like my normal self but had to switch due to new smoking habit. Pros: I have not gotten pregnant. Cons: horrible mood swings, more acne than ever and I've always had great skin-this has made me more self-conscious than ever, lowered libido, I'm mean and nasty to my boyfriend for no reason and it seems uncontrollable. I have gained 30+ lbs but I also started methadone treatment around the same time so that could be the culprit. Perhaps my hormones but I stopped taking Lyza two days ago and will see doc soon to discuss options."


"Monovisc combined with PT has

significantly improved my knees

after injuring an old torn meniscus.

Arthritis was diagnosed as well on

the MRI. Dr would not operate!

I get injections every 4 months and

pain is very rare...ice needed occasionally.

Thinking of using it in my shoulder after

RC surgery. Other shoulder has partial tear.

Anybody have any ideas on this?"


"Zoloft has helped me tremendously! I am going on week 6. I kept going on the Internet reading the terrible side effects. I kept putting it off even though my sister in law is a pharmacist.

I was scared. Terified. I'm in my 40s very fit.  I kept thinking I would feel better. I thought it was hormones. I kept having panic attacks which didn't last long, but it still happened.There was a lot that happened over the course of the months and I believe my body just said enough. So once I experienced the panic attacks it fueled to the fire, worry set in and it was a terrible cycle.

I started it after my friend opened up. I didn't feel alone.

The first week I experienced diarrhea three days. No insomnia,  no weight gain.

I'm calmer for sure!"


"Terrible. I have used Vardenafil, Sildenafil, and Taladafil all without issue (Levitra, Viagra, Cialis). Then, because of cost, I tried switching to Stendra... I RARELY have side effects with medicine, but this stuff is terrible for me. I can be guaranteed to break out in a cold sweat, heart racing, and feel like I'm about to die. I take so many medications it took me awhile to zone in on the problem - and sure enough, through painful trial and error . . . I learned. Stendra is terrbile for my body. Best luck to those who it works for, but for me - never again."


"I started getting spots when I was about 12 and it was pretty bad acne by around 15. I went on the pill and probably every type of antibiotic which each worked but only for a limited time. At 23 I realised the only thing left was accutane. NHS was slow so I went private (1 appointment - £120) and the dermatologist prescribed me 4 months of 40 mg/day (I only weigh around 100 pounds). Best thing I ever did. Only side effects I noticed were dry lips - I recommend aquaphor - and dry inside of my nose. 100% worth it and my skin is amazing and spot free now! I've just come off the medication so fingers crossed it lasts a long time. Very happy, I definitely recommend."


"I was switched from Abilify (which was amazing), to Lamictal (horrible, didn't work), to Latuda.  I'd say that Latuda is a great medication for me.  I have no side effects, have finally been able to get on a normal sleep schedule, and haven't had any manic episodes.  I feel normal again!  I take 40mg at night.  I also take Celexa 40mg daily and 1mg Ativan as needed.  I also take a lot of vitamins.  I've been taking Latuda for 8 months."


"I'm 16 and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type II a month ago. I was put on Lamictal six days later. Around two weeks of the effective dosage, I started to see stability in both my depression and hypomania without any personality change or affective flattening. I did get canker sores however, but no signs of the SJS rash yet. This is overall a pretty effective medicine from my experience."


"Seasonale is awesome especially if you have very heavy periods and very bad cramps during menstrual cycle. The only side effects I have had are a few headaches here and there and spotting once in awhile.  (Hardly ever)"


"Took it for three days on third day had a breakdown while driving the medication made me very nervous and it ended with me having a severe anxiety attack, stopped taking it anxiety went away"


"I had the infection twice. After taking I get really bad stomach pains. My advice... take with crackers and take right before you go to bed. This helps you deal with the pain."


"I was prescribed this for ADHD that was along with bipolar disorder.  I didnt take it at first cause I was scared because I have a history of substance abuse. Finally I decided to give it a try.  The first day I took it there was a HUGE difference.  I was not as irritable as usual.  The "chatter" in my head quietened.  I was able to focus better on a few tasks.  I felt a little bit more confident than usual.  So far, I haven't had any bad things to say. I have ECT once a month which helps a little bit with my depression and bipolar, but this medication seems to do more good than any of that stuff. "


"I started 5/14/15 and after schpeel from my doc about 15% experience headaches I prepared myself for a huge headache by noon.  I took at 8am, no headache by noon or after..I was really tired and body aches but could be from the cold I had as well.  Able to function all day though.  My weight Thursday was 226.7 as of Saturday am my weight is 224.5.  I am learning my hunger is mental and not physical. My mental or craving are still present but not actually feeling hungry so I can stop at a few bites because nothing really tastes as good as it does in my "hungry mind".  So I'm definitely becoming aware of my triggers.  Can't wait to see my results after 1mo."


"Irritable, agitated, impatient, anxious and increased anger."


""Iffy" sexual performance for last 6 months.  (53, married 30 years).  Tried "Stendra" with only marginal improvement and was getting a bit panicky! Had doubts Cialis would be any better. "10" is too low of a score.  Nice to have the wife complain of some initial discomfort from "too deep, too soon", again, and having to back off. It ended well for all concerned (it was a sample from doctor, so not sure on future pricing)."


"First, I want to say how terribly saddened I am to see the comments from so many women about endometriosis and taking birth control pills to "cure" it. It goes to show how severely inadequate and ignorant our health care system is when it comes to women and this debilitating disease. Birth control does not fix endo. It does not cure it. The ONLY treatment that has a chance of curing endo is expert excision surgery by a skilled surgeon.  Laparoscopy is just a diagnostic tool. Not a treatment. Birth control can help some of the symptoms for some women. But it does nothing to actually fix it. Please ladies, ask questions, research your disease. Most doctors still don't know the basics of endo, which is frightening!"


"I have been on Lexapro for years, it has worked great. The trouble is finding a good medicine to use in combination with it. Abilify is a good one."


"I have the same problem (among others) and I was at a level 9, and 3 x 50mg tablets daily has taken me to a level 2. I have no side effects to speak of. Works great for me!"


"Excellent. I don't know what I would do without it. I love it."


"Does the job but comes with major stomach cramps, nausea and no sleep. Be prepared!"


"I got Mirena six weeks after giving birth to my son. I got it March 2010. I spot for one day every two months and that is all. I had a pap smear when I got it inserted so I really didn't feel a thing but everyone is different. I will definitely go back to Mirena after I have my second child in the future."


"In the beginning, I was very skeptical about taking this medicine because most of the reviews I read were negative. Now, I honestly love it. The first week was a little rough due to the shortness of breath as well as the gasiness. Then I realized almost every medicine has some type of side effect until your body gets used to it after a few days or so. By the second week, I was fine. Before taking Amitiza I only had bowel movements every 4 or 5 days and sometimes it would take a week and I also had pains in my abdomen. But now I am going regularly and I feel much better about it. The only negative I have is that my insurance won't cover Amitiza."


"I have been using Alli for a month.  I take it three times a day along with exercise about 3 days a week by walking and running.  I started out weighing 222 and now I am down to 215 and shrinking.  IT WORKS!!  I have tried so many weigh loss pills and this is the only one I have used that actually works.  At first it worried me to see the oil substance in my stool but I quickly learned it was my body fat residue leaving my body.  I feel great and I will continue using the product.  My advice is not to rely on any product to loose weight.  Use the product but get off your lazy butt and exercise and eat right and by doing so with this product you will achieve results."


"Cymbalta lessens the burning pain in my feet that used to wake me up and keep me awake at night.  It often relieves burning pain almost completely."


"I have tried a variety of medications for ADD; including Ritalin, Adderall, Adderall XR, Dexedrine, and Strattera. Each has benefits along with side effects.

After several years medicating with central nervous system stimulants (CNS) I  switched to Strattera. I found the medication took a few weeks to take effect, and tended to cause constipation. I also found my psychological state was less effective if I became dehydrated.

To counter the side effects I added All-Bran into my diet twice a week, and drank more liquids. The big benefit for myself was I could enjoy reading books again, which I could not on the CNS stimulants."


"I'm so happy Plan B helped me! I took a pill after 30 hours unprotected sex and I had my period in a week."


"I use to be on Gildess for years and never had a problem with it . When they discontinued  it I was prescribed Blisovi. When. I first got my period I had insane headaches and thought I just needed, to adapt to the pill. My periods on gildess lasted like 3-4 days now on blisovi the last over a week and are heavy . In 2 months I have gained over 10 lbs and I workout 5-6 days a week and my breast size went up a cup. I called my physcian after reading everybody's reviews and experiencing all the negative symptoms."


"I was hospitalized with pneumonia receiving Levaquin and fluids via IV.  By the fifth day, the fever was gone and the cough was almost gone.  I felt overwhelmingly tired for several weeks but my doctor said that is to be expected with pneumonia."


"Xanax is the most effective non-habit forming medication ever. I don't have an addictive personality and I have never smoked nor do I drink alcohol and have never taken any illegal drugs. I was a gymnast for 12 years and was dedicated to the sport. I always felt nervous when I was younger but didn't know what it was. As an adult I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed so many SSRI's, none of which helped but made me worse. I finally found an amazing doctor who recognized my symptoms as generalized anxiety disorder. She explained that depression and anxiety often go hand-in-hand and for years I had been mis-diagnosed. I take no other medicines, only Xanax when I need it. It has improved my life so much."


"After being misdiagnosed and mistreated for 20 years, I finally understood that I am bipolar type 2. I noticed a huge difference on lithium (I don't have any other meds whatsoever now) the first day I took it as I immediately leveled out. The antidepressant effect took slightly longer to kick in but this medication has changed my life. I don't feel cut off like I did on SSRI meds and I don't have any side effects at all. All my blood work has been perfect and I am really pleased beyond any expectations with the effect and the total lack of side effects. I don't feel like I am on a medication at all - it feels like I have suddenly become normal. "


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Worked very well."


"I have just been on the medication for 2 weeks and finally feel like a human being again.  I am sleeping better, not overeating, feel happier, am more talkative and actually feel like living.  I have not had a psychotic episode in the past 2 weeks but I know this might not be the reason since the medication is so new.   I truly was a real burden on everyone because I was upset, angry, seeing or hearing things and crying all the time.  Not many people understood just how bad I felt.  I'm hoping to get feeling even better but if this is the best that it gets I will sure be okay with just feeling like this.  No one knows how hopeless this disease can make you feel."


"My doctor asked me to try Livalo for high cholesterol due to my blood sugar raising when I was on atovastatin.  I stopped taking Atovastatin because I had nightmares on it and felt like my legs had an aching dull pain most of the time. Livalo is very expensive at $65.00 per month!
I will get my numbers checked this week for Livalo.  So far I had pain in my fingers, palm of my hand, and knee pain for the first 2 weeks.  After 1 month all of the pain has subsided, but now I find my fasting glucose numbers are beginning to get higher than when not on cholesterol medication.  If my fasting glucose continues to rise, I will stop taking Livalo even if it helps my cholesterol numbers."


"This worked quite well for acute severe shoulder rotater cuff pain but took a couple of hours to kick in. The weirdest thing though is I had a side effect where I saw yellow color on white walls. Also had a little trouble focusing eyes and was a little dizzy. Would go away when wore off and then same thing when tried again, so had to stop."


"Never again will I take this medicine!! The recommended dosage isn't listed on the packet that contains two pills so of course I took both. I ended up with chest pains that lasted almost 6 hours, nauseated, sweating, headache an to top it off paranoid that I was overdosing and going to have a heart attack! I'll stick with coffee from now on, definitely don't recommend it!"


"I took 2 months of the medication and conceived during the second month. I was ecstatic!  This was my first pregnancy. The pregnancy was a breeze the birth was awesome!  I have a beautiful baby girl! Planning my next pregnancy for Fall 2016. I can only hope and pray I have the same experience!  Very very pleased!"


"Very toxic to liver. Uncontrollable ascites. Damaging to nerves especially feet and hands. Didn't stop mets. Promises very little outcome. Brother died from liver failure with this drug."


"I have struggled with the depression part of Bi-Polar well, forever. I am 34 finally, I can tell that this medication is not only helping with the bi-polar part but I actually feel GOOD! This medicine is a God send for me. I cannot testify to weight gain or side effects just yet because I have only been taking the medication for about 4 months, HOWEVER, I can say that when I take it at night, I have the most horrific nightmares every night.  I am going to try taking in the morning, but I hear it may be a sedative.  I do have a history of sleep paralysis but this is a guarantee nightmare for me.  A sleep aid like Clonazepam sometimes helps... but it is a gamble.
I also take  250mg Lamictal a day and 50mg Pristiq a day."


"I've been taking Saxenda for 8 days now and I am down 10lbs already! This stuff is AMAZING! I am not hungry at all and when I do eat, I get full very quickly. I started on .06mg for the first 7 days and now I am on 1.2mg. I am not hungry and I still feel stuffed from breakfast. I have not changed my eating habits but I noticed I crave less sugar. I have an addiction to soda and I have not craved it really for the past few days. This stuff is a MIRACLE!"


"The first week my skin got very dry and patchy. It peeled a good bit. The second week my skin broke out worse than it ever has, and I started getting really discouraged that it wasn't working and I felt like it had made my skin worse. I am now about to finish up my third week, and my skin is really clearing up well. I would say be patient with this product and give it one full month, and you will begin to see results. The method I use is washing my face, patting it dry, putting on a moisturizer, waiting about 10-15 minutes, then applying the veltin only on the acne spots. This has seemed to work best for me."


"I've been on Pristiq for a week and already feel like a new person. I was EXTREMELY hesitant to take the medication because I had tried other antidepressants in the past without success plus there seems to be nothing but negative written about the drugs. I take no other medications and am a healthy 42 year old. I had a few days of nausea which was relieved mostly by taking the medication in the morning with food. I have a little dry mouth and use the bathroom a little less but otherwise have no side effects. I feel like a film was lifted off me. It's hard to explain. I hope to continue to feel as balanced as I do now. I'm taking this for anxiety and dysthmic depression. The drug company offers assistance with co-payment. "


"I got the copper IUD inserted a week ago and so far I'm loving it. The insertion was not as bad as the reviews said it would be, it was mild discomfort and I did have my period immediately after as informed it would be. It was cheap and it lasts for 5-10 years. Only had minor cramping and all in all very satisfied"


"I found this medication actually here after researching weight loss drugs about 3 months ago. Happy to report 3 months 18 pounds lighter. Cravings gone. Snacking gone. Meal portions? About half of what they used to be and not because I force myself. That is the beauty. I don't want to or need to eat more! Simple. I like simple. Clean drug. No side effects for me. Glad I will be taking this beyond 3 months."


"I agree, this medicine is a wonder drug. For years I thought I was going to be depressed for the rest of my life. This drug changed that thought pretty quickly."


"For me it worked for a little while after a few months doctor upped my dose but it did nothing"


"I promised I would write a review if Plan B worked for me. My boyfriend and I had sex and the condom broke and he finished inside me. I was supposed to ovulate that day or the next day. I cried everyday for those 2 weeks. Not eating and was so depressed because I am only 18. I wasn't on any form of birth control. But finally 2 weeks later I got my period. This pill works. I promise don't worry. Just make sure you take it before 12 hours. I didn't have an side effects except for being for anxious all the time and shaking. I also was very tired the first 48 hours. Don't stress!!"


"This is the only antidepressant that was  beneficial to me. Following a steroid induced psychosis, I just was never the same. Terrible anxiety, up at night, deep depression every now and then.
I will say that my sleep didn't fall into place until I was on the 20mg.
I can't imagine life without this medicine!"


"28 woman 140 lbs--150mg XL taken once in the morning. Before this I was getting near suicidal, couldn't get out of bed and hated myself for that. Sought a therapist who recommended besides therapy I should take something like Wellbutrin. My psych was irritated b/c I previously told her I didn't want Celexa (it never did anything even after months) but agreed to prescribe Wellbutrin. After a day or two when it kicked in, it was like NIGHT and DAY. Like a cloud had been lifted and I could see again, get out bed again. Don't get me wrong, I'm still sad about the state of the world and my life. But it's not crippling anymore; I can "get over it." I'm glad to keep experiencing. It seemed better year 1 than 2 but that might be the relief/other factors."


"I used this Statin for almost a year (20mg/day), didn't work for me (my total was 266-275). "


Aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"The best medication I have found for my chronic migraines. Nothing else I have tried even comes close to touching them, except this."


"I was in an auto accident that left me in a Coma for 38 days & was told by all 5 of my orthopedic Dr's I'd NEVER STAND OR WALK AGAIN. 6 mo. Later I took my first steps! I broke both hips both femurs (thigh bones) in 2 places, shattered both tibia & fibula (shin bones) & both knees. I am titanium rods the length of the bones, wires, nails & screws. I was on 4 different pain Narcotics every 2 hrs. The ONLY ONE THAT GAVE ME RELIEF WAS THE DILAUDID! None of the oxy 's or even the 100mg Morphine phased me. Now I'm on Percocet 10-325 & 100mg Morphine. Percs just knock the edge off but gives me the energy to keep moving. I WANT MY DILAUDIDS BACK & KEEP MY PERCS FOR MY BREAKTHROUGH. THEY HELP ME LEAD A PRODUCTIVE LIFE! 2yrs on "


"I got put on Topamax about 3 years ago, I felt it wasn't helping with my migraines so I took myself off. Then I had a  seizure because I didn't have it. So I started back on it and had no luck with migraines.  I quit taking it again and more seizures. Ever since I've been on it I have had seizures and they are not in my family at all."


"At 54 years old, I was diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachycardia, then had a catheter electrophysiology study done which resulted in a specific diagnosis of Multi Focal Atria Tachycardia. An ablation procedure followed about the same time after the study. Several irregular rhythms were knocked out, leaving a few others untreated due to their location inside the heart. I was prescribed Propafenone 150 mg three times daily and Atenolol. A Pacemaker was implanted to control my bradycardia which then made it possible for me to take Propafenone. One cannot take Propafenone if they have bradycardia, unless they have a Pacemaker implanted. I am relieved and very satisfied with the outcome of the procedures and the effectiveness of Propafenone."


"I used Monistat 3 before and it kind of cleared it up but I had to use yogurt inserts for about two to three days to really help it go away.  I then got another yeast infection a week or two later and bought Monistat 7 since I'm pregnant and I was told that's my best option.  It was crazy itchy after the first two days but it got better and the itch and pain is pretty much gone.  I itch the slightest at times and I worry but maybe I'm being dramatic.  I have one more day left and it's done it's job.  If anything some yogurt to help finish it off!  I've had pretty good results for Monistat 3 and 7.  Don't let the other comments scare you!  It obviously doesn't work for a lot or only the people who had negative comments wrote reviews "


"Originally I started to take birth control for heavy cramps and periods. Having used Ortho Tricyclen Lo for about three years as a teen, I got off and realized my mood swings stabilized, depression lifted, and my cramps, although painful, were actually LESS than on OTC Lo.

For a time I was put on Trinessa, and there were absolutely NO side effects. But then my insurance switched me back to OTC Lo, I realized why I became a crazy-face again. Needless to say, I insisted on Trinessa, and the three dollar copay is WELL worth the peace of mind it gives me.

Plus, my skin is flawless now."


"Nexplanon hasn't been the worst. I have no worries about getting pregnant, it's easy and it's comfortable. That's the best part-IT WORKS! But there's pros and cons to everything. I've been on this for 9 months. I get a period every month, usually lasting for 2 weeks and the cramps are bad. I've definitely noticed my skin worsen, I also agree with other reviews about the mood swings. Nothing too crazy, but noticeable. My sex drive is sometimes effected, but no weight gain. I'm going to give it a year to get it together, but I'm looking forward to having it removed."


"I'm getting my Implanon taken out after three years. These three years have been a journey. First year, I had a period or spotting for a month straight! It was miserable then my period would come and go unexpectedly. Second year, I barely had a period at all! Which I liked but then again I got worried but eventually it came back. Now this year is the same, I would spot every now and then but never nothing serious. Over the three years, I went from weighing 120 to 141 so yeah you will gain weight mostly in the first year. But hey I have some meat on my bones now so I'm fine with the weight gain. Overall Implanon is a great birth control. I would recommend it every woman looking for a good birth control."


"I suffered for several years before I found a specialist who diagnosed me properly and prescribed this great medicine. "


"I was prescribed Concerta 54mg for two weeks, and after two weeks my dosage was lowered to 36mg. The positive effects: First of all, it was absolutely effective at keeping me focused, engaged, and gave me the motivation to continue working away at my given tasks. It also accelerated my perception of time. The (manageable) negatives: It made me so focused on tasks that I was antisocial. Fixating on annoying sounds, anxiety, sweaty palms, no appetite, and weight loss (25lbs). I found I was lacking emotion, and during the long comedown I was irritable and rarely I experienced mild to moderate depression. Concerta is an effective ADHD drug, but the emotional effects can be annoying at times. It is worth consulting your doctor about!"


"It’s was amazing the first time I took it but after I was dying with constant yeast infection do not take"


"I have severe cracked skin on my hands.  I've tried many different products - my skin is extremely sensitive.  This product helps heal my skin, does not sting and is not greasy (important when using for hands).  This is the best product I've found for my condition, but it is hard to find - my drugstore can't even order it for me anymore."


"I had the implant inserted 2/2015. I had to move away from pills and patches as I was heavier and weight and I guess they become less effective. I had the option between the IUD and nexplanon implant. My friend accounted for the horrible insertion process and long periods with the IUD so I opted for the implant. My objective was a low maintenece BC and minimal periods.

I don't remember what part of my cycle I was on when I got it inserted but it's now been a year and a half and I haven't had a period since I had it inserted. I haven't bled or had a single cramp or tenderness in 18 months!

Now I am in the gray area with the side effects. I think all birth control cause some kind of heightened moodiness. However, I'd advocate for this BC."


"I am a 32 year old women and this is the first time that I've taken birth control pills. My doctor recommended birth control pills to alleviate the pain I was experiencing and heaving bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.  I am currently on the second week of the pack and the only complaint I have at the moment is the breakthrough bleeding or spotting after my period.  I've only been spotting for 5 days and hoping it will go away.  I've noticed a new breakout--a pimple but occasional acne is normal for me.  Haven't noticed any weight gain but after reading other reviews, I purchased a scale to monitor my weight.  Will keep you posted as I continue to take the pill."


"This medication is definitely not for me. I suffer from social anxiety and panic attacks. I took 10 mg daily for 2 weeks. Although while on this medication, I did not have my panic attacks; I still had social anxiety. I was completely emotionless, couldn't stay sleeping, and never had an orgasm; the total zombie affect. It gave me headaches every morning and jaw pain-I guess a withdrawal side effect. I would not recommend to anyone unless you are coming off of some hard drugs. Every addictive! Severe side effects!"


"I took Cryselle for almost a year with no problems at all. The only reason I stopped is because me and my husband decided to expand our little family but I'm almost positive I will get back on it after baby is born."


"I've been taking Cymbalta (90) for three years because of back pain. I have four fusions in my lower back. I tried to go to 60, because of the unfortunate side effect with orgasm, but upped it back to 90 when my pain level went up. The biggest issue is with feeling dehydrated all the time - very dry mouth, I also seem to take more time to heal and get over respiratory infections."


"The flu like symptoms are horrible.  I was told to take Tylenol night time before I took the shot. I did and it seems to help with the effects of the shot."


"I had the worst experience on Yaz!  I did not gain a pound the entire time I was on the pill, but I had other horrible side effects.  I would "spot" all month long a very thick, black discharge.  This discharge literally ruined my sex life.  I was too nervous to have sex, and on the occasion I did have sex and my boyfriend noticed the black discharge, he no longer could perform either.  Also, my periods lasted on average 10 days and was very heavy all 10 days.  "


"After trying around 8 different drugs for my GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) this one seems to be helping.  I don't want to jump the gun too quick, it's been a month with a 30mg every other day and about 3 weeks at 30mg a day, but I think it's working somewhat, still don't like the idea I have to take it, and always worried about side effects and getting off it, if and when I'm ready.  Have had some bad withdrawal symptoms with some of the others that rivaled getting off pain medicines...no fun!"


"I've been on this for 4 years, never had any issues! Sex drive is just fine, skin is always clear, and my mood is pretty much always chill! It's been my favorite birth control by far

Forgot to put my rating on the last one so had to submit this again but I give it a 10"


"This has been my very first birth control pill. I have taken it for almost an entire month and so far everything is good. What I've noticed so far is that I'm more moody/emotional, I feel hungrier than usual, my period is lighter but my cramps are still there and they've been there everyday. They used to end around the 2nd day but I'm on the 4th day and I still have cramps. I can manage cramps and a little moodiness tho, so no biggie. No weight gain so far but I work out 3-5 times a week and drink lots of water. No acne but I use Proactiv because I used to get bad breakouts. My doctor said I'd be protected after the first 7 days so I have had sex with a condom but it was after 2 weeks. I'm pretty satisfied so far. Plan to stick with it."


"Yes, insertion hurts like anything, but the pain is brief. Just take your ibuprofen (or something stronger) and breath through the pain - you'll be fine. I had moderate cramping for a few days after insertion and am still spotting very lightly 2.5 weeks later. I had the Mirena IUD several years ago and hated it (sex was painful and I would bleed after every time, I got reoccurring BV infections, acne, etc.), so I had it removed after 7 months. I feel no pain whatsoever while having sex with the Skyla, my skin is still clear, my mood is normal and I don't have abnormal discharge. So far, the Skyla has been amazing and I'm incredibly sensitive to birth control. I had mine inserted by a certified nurse midwife and I think that helped."


"Belviq simply killed my appetite, especially the urge I have to snack in the evening. I've lost 14 lbs in almost 4 weeks and I'm well on my way to lose 30 lbs. I sleep much better too. I don't know if that's from Belviq or less snacking in the evening but it is a fact."


"I got Implanon December of '10. I have gained 20 pounds, and I am on my period constantly. I don't recognize any mood swings. Although I'm way depressed about my weight. I went from 125 to 145lbs."


"My doctor prescribed 50mg Setraline to help me with depression, suicidal thoughts, and social anxiety.  I have just been taking it a week, but I am very pleased so far.  I am able to leave my apartment, go shopping in horrendous crowds and traffic, and deal with stress at work without breaking down and becoming fixated.  Fleeting thoughts of worthlessness, hopelessness, and suicide are easily pushed away.  I do deal with nausea, diarrhea, sleeplessness, and fatigue, but I make sure I eat before I take my pill and I force myself to eat each time the nausea comes on.  I may gain weight, but I do not think so because I am never hungry now.  I am hoping that the calmness remains as I continue taking Sertraline."


"I took one tablet 12 hours ago and have been feeling very sick ever since. My nose is running, coughing and feeling terrible as if I had a bad cold. Not taking any more!"


"1st day fine. 2nd day it made me SO sick. Severe stomach cramps and I mean severe. Nausea, dizziness, headache, racing heart, backache, weakness  and fatigue. I haven't used it for 2 days and most symptoms have cleared but the stomach cramps and fatigue are still very painful. MD said to go to emergency for stomach pain but its an hour + drive so I opted to try to sleep it off. Since its still ongoing I'll be seeing my MD tomorrow. I will never take this again!"


"I have been on Implanon now for almost 3 years, and I am going to have mine replaced shortly. I have had some mood swings but I can contribute most of them to everyday life stressors. I am a mother, employee, student, and companion so stress is knocking at my door as I type. But I love that I have only had minor spotting, very little weight gain, and a barely noticeable scar. I would recommend it to every one I know!"


"I was prescribed Atarax taking 25mg up to 3x daily or as needed. The first few days it made me groggy and want to sleep and experience very vivid dreams and nightmares. After a few days the grogginess went away and it actually helped me function while having high anxiety and helped to calm me. I still experience nightmares more often than I'd like to but I'd rather be functioning daily so I keep taking it"


"My first three months on this pill were like a DREAM. I switched to it from Orsythia (which I had been taking for 3 years) because I was having painful periods and my sex drive was gone. This pill completely stopped my period with NO spotting or anything, and never any cramps. No acne, no mood changes. My breasts even grew. I was so happy. Now I am on month 4 and it is hell. I'm having migraines and nausea all day, and bad mood swings. I am stopping this pill and going back to my OB."


"I got depression and anxiety after one summer of abusing ecstasy and acid.  This was 2003.

For quite a while I didn't Medicate as I was still in denial. After about 2 years of suffering I started taking lexapro. It didn't do much. I began to get severe headaches. After 2 years I switched to Zoloft. Kept waiting for things to get better but they just got worse. I began to put on weight. To feel better I was binge eating junk food. I became sickly bloated, And had terrible OCD. Eventually out of desperation I switched doctors 2 yrs ago and he prescribed Wellbutrin xl. Thank god. The fog began to clear up, I felt optimistic, less anxious, lost weight. Am almost 80% better. Living a normal life. Welbutrin saved my life."


"I have been on Victoza since January 22, 2011. I have lost 34 pounds, my blood sugar A1C is now 6.3. I have excellent readings. I am only on Victoza no other diabetic medication. I was taking 1000 mg of Metformin twice a day and Januvia once a day before I started on Victoza. I feel so much better. I take 1.8 each day at 6pm."


"Effexor gave me my life back again. I was so severely depressed that I had to struggle to find a reason to live everyday, I was very  suicidal. I was no longer able to function. 4 weeks after starting Effexor I was returned to my 'normal' self. I was happy and could feel pleasure again and I was excited about life. I have experienced a few minor side effects like constipation and nausea with dosage increases, but the benefits far outweigh the minor side effects!"


"EXCELLENT they really work for me"


"My husband, who is diabetic for many years, suddenly developed an itchy, scratchy rash. He's someone who soldiers on despite everything. So he went to the VA Hospital and they prescribed Hydroxyzine capsules, telling him to take them at bedtime. He also is using a salve for the topical skin discomfort. He slept like a log last night and already (2 days in) feels better; his rash is much improved, and should be gone pronto if the good response continues. The Doctor was very clear - warned him (it also says so on the bottle): don't drive, ride a bike, or whatever until you see if it makes you groggy or dizzy - a common side affect. He slept for 12 hours last night, so that was a plus. This medicine is very effective!"


"I live in Western Australia and disturbed by some comments on here. The cost of Embrel is cost of an ordinary prescription $36 for me the government pays the remainder of the cost to the chemist. I also go to the the medical centre every Saturday morning a Dr looks over my prescription and then he advises the nurse to administer the injection also no cost to myself and this is part of nurses duties. I am unsure of the country where people who have made comments referring to cost and that nobody is there to  administer the injection for them. I am very lucky to live in Australia as we have the best health system worldwide and everybody is  given the opportunity to receive proper medical help whether you are rich or poor there is no discrimination."


"I was extremely constipated and no one seems to know why. My GI doctor gave me Amitiza and it really helped me with the constipation but as far as my burping, passing gas and hiccuping is still a real problem.

"


"Very interesting medicine. It has made a huge difference in the treatment of Diabetes mellitus. "


"I am overweight by 50 pounds and my doctor prescribed me Belviq. I have been taking it for 30 days and I have already lost 15 pounds! This medicine is amazing and a life saver! If you are overweight and have not been able to lose it naturally like me, ask your doctor and get Belviq now. You will not be disappointed."


"I'm 22 years old and have had depression for 9 years. I've tried Celexa, Paxil, Zoloft, and Xanax, but nothing has helped me better than Cymbalta. The first time I took it I threw up, and had no appetite for about 4 days. But the second day of taking it, I could tell it was working. I could focus more, I could smile more, I could go out in public and not panic. And T.V shows that I'd seen before and didn't think was funny, I now watched and laughed at! Cymbalta has completely changed my life. I've been taking 60mg a day for 2 weeks now and I can't remember ever being this happy and hopeful. It's very expensive if you don't have insurance, but there are organizations out there that will help you out with your prescriptions."


"It brought the blood pressure into check, 120/75. The downside for me was ED. ONE pill of this and the party was over for a month or more. And cialis won't undo it either. This stuff has to wear off before the love life starts again. And when it does begin to work again, Spaghetti is better than you are for at least another 1-5 months. Stopped taking it and that's how long it took me to return to normal. I'm on Enalapril now. It works good too but the dang cough is driving me nuts. Looking for something else."


"Mole hills no longer turn into mountains. I don't over react to silly things and don't feel anywhere near as much anxiety as I did. People have noticed my moods are a lot more stable as well."


"too expensive, and doesnt work all the time...  i take 100mg and it could work the following morning but by  then its too late..."


"I had a sinus infection with fever (spiking higher at night); took me a while to figure out because I never had one before. Within a day of taking Ceftin, I no longer had a fever and felt much better. Had no problem taking the pill with water (unlike others); don't taste it at all. After 5 days, I still have thick mucus and less appetite than usual) but otherwise am doing much better than before. I notice no side effects from this medicine."


"Would be helpful if reviewers included dose; I'm at 600mg (300 twice a day) and this has worked 'like magic' to slow me down. I used to feel nearly constantly anxious, irritable and visual and auditory input would overwhelmed me. Certain people's voices felt like my ears were being poked; eye contact was overwhelming, like I was receiving too much input. Certain smells were like an 'instant headache'. Trileptal regulated my sleep cycle first, which was always a huge issue - now it's 10:00 PM to 5:30 AM almost the same every night with none of the previous wake-ups and morning exhaustion. I am one of the ones who has the 'low sodium' side effect but what a great side effect - I get to eat more salt. And my blood pressure is lower."


"I had a migraine one and half years ago, it last around 9 months, during which I was so sick and went to see the doctor several times. They could not help either, just gave me some painkillers. Fortunately it gradually cured itself, and last 1 year and half has headache free. Recently this ghost come back again. This time my family doctor first prescribed verapamil, which caused dizziness after 3rd day of administration. Then he give me amitriptyline, I took 10 mg of it and next day it's like a miracle, no headache.

I am so happy now. "


"Was diagnosed in January with TN, although I thought that's what I had.  My dad & his sister had TN as well.  Started on a low dose of carbamazepine, 200mg a day & naively I thought this would make the pain disappear.  No it did not.  They gradually increased dose to 300mg three times a day & this worked for approx 8 weeks.  I thought I had found the dosage that would work for me & I would be pain free forever, but no the pain returned last week & it was excruciating, could hardly eat anything.  I increased my dose to 400mg in the morning, 300mg in the afternoon & 400mg at night & gradually the pain has disappeared.  Spoke to doctor today & I can increase dosage to 1600mg if needed & she will prescribe slow acting carbamazepine as well."


"I have been on Depo Provera for 5 years now. It seems like a lot, but I'm 24, and have been on it since I turned 19, so there is not much bone loss. I'm off it now, but I loved it: I didn't gain weight, no cramping, no nausea, no migraines. I WAS depressed, but the Depo actually fixed it. I bleed light for about a week right before my shot is due, but it's once every 3 months. I love it, but 5 years is pushing it for osteoporosis, so I just switched to the pill today. "


"Morphine and Dilaudid didn't touch the pain I had while in the hospital for 3 days with a severe headache -- one dose of Toradol and I was instantly pain free! Was thrilled to take it for the prescribed 7 days. I was diagnosed with a 9mm Chiari 1 Malfomation and have yet to find anything close to Toradol to relieve my worse than migraine headaches! -- unfortunately, I was told taking it long term would be very dangerous!  "


"I suffered my first panic attack in 1992.  I took imipramine for years which got rid of the attacks but gave some side effect and gained weight with Paxil. Doctors then put me on Celexa.  It has been wonderful.  The only way I can tell I'm on the drug is the panic attacks disappeared. I would recommend it highly."


"I've never taken this product before, but I think it worked great based on where I was in my cycle.  Took Plan B 9 days into my cycle, 30 minutes after a condom broke with my partner.  I took the pill with a piece of toast and a large glass of water, only experiencing very slight nausea which could have been in part to nerves.  I experienced some breast tenderness on and off throughout the month and changes in discharge that were different than normal, but nothing alarming.  Today, on day 28, my period has started, just a day or two earlier than normal with some light spotting as is usual for me.  I am satisfied with my experience with this product and am very grateful to have it as an option in the event that my other birth control fails."


"Doc put me on Lyrica 50 mg twice a day.  The first two weeks were AMAZING, I was doing things I haven't been able to do in many years.  HOWEVER, let me just say IT DOES CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN AND MINE WAS NOT FROM OVEREATING.  In fact, I was hardly hungry at all and when I do eat, it is usually fruits and veggies.  I was even working out every day. The last day I took Lyrica (I only took it for one month), it made me so freaking miserable, I went home in tears.  My stomach swelled up like I was malnourished and every time I would bend over, I would throw up water or whatever I had just put on my stomach.  It was AWFUL!  In a month, I gained over 10 lbs. NOT COOL!"


"My son started this 8 weeks ago. It has been a miracle. He has ADHD, BIPOLAR 2, ODD, and being tested for TBI. This has made his impulsivity manageable . We have had no side effects. We have stayed at 2 mg. We are on quite a few other medicines also. But since we have started this medicine we have not had any CPEP visits or inpatient stays. Prior to this medicine in 1 year we had 6 inpatients and 12 CPEP. His other medicines worked but we could not stop his impulse factor which was putting his life in danger. I have my son back we can actually have a conversation again."


"I have been living with chronic neck, back and migraine pain for several years now.  In the beginning, my doctors had me go to physical therapy, take ibuprofen, or aspirin.  None of these things ever really helped.  After trying Flexeril and numerous anti-inflammatories, my pain management doctor did an MRI and found that among the many tension knots and twisting of my spine, I had bulging disks in my neck.  He gave me Zanaflex to take at night.  It knocks me out within 20 minutes but helps relax my back and neck so that I can get restful sleep - been on it for 3 months now!  I highly recommend it for continuous back pain and it's even helped with my migraines.  Be ready for bed though - very powerful!"


"I was prescribed Sronyx as a way to control the amount of blood I lose during my very heavy periods. I have been on it for about 5 months now and here is my experience with it. I feel very normal taking this pill.

About Me:
-Age: 24 -Weight: 105 -Ethnicity: Hispanic -Sexually Active -I eat healthy -Little to Moderate Exercise

-No mood swings or depression.
-Sex drive has not changed.

"Take 25 mg daily - 15mg morning /10mg evening for 46 years.
No side effects. No symptoms. Restored my well being!"


"I was on this pill was to relive my heavy periods not for contraception. Just to give a quick medical background I'm 26 and have always suffered with long and heavy periods lasting between 10-12days. It got to the point where it started causing me medical issues such as low white blood cells, severe tiredness as well as deficiencies, anaemia and constant bugs. I was referred to a haematologist (blood doctor) who prescribed desogestrel to stop my periods which I took for a total of 3months.

Since day one of starting this medication I have bled continuously, the first month was only light spotting and only required a thin liner. At this point I wasn't experiencing any other side effects so I persevered as I was told it could take 3months for my body to adjust. However, into the 2nd month the bleeding got heavier and by the 3rd month it was awful and things were spiralling downhill daily! This pill was having the opposite effect of what It was suppose to do and the constant bleeding made my existing problems 10x worse and on top of everything I got cystitis just before my holiday which meant I couldn't swim, drink etc and felt dreadful. My mood and personality changed and TBH I was a hormonal mess! I felt uptight, anxious and paranoid all the time and kept snapping at my husband over petty things. I wasn't sleeping properly and was getting terrible palpitations and nausea which seemed to be worse at night keeping me awake. My tummy was very sore and bloated. I also put on weight mainly on my thighs and breasts, I went from a B cup to a DD!!! My friends all thought I had secretly had boob job haha! Most girls would be happy about this but I'm very petite so the smallest amount of weight makes me feel disgusting and is quite noticeable.

I decided to stop taking desogestrel whilst on holiday as I couldn't bare it anymore and it was ruining my holiday. Luckily within a couple of days of stopping I felt like my old self again but I continued to bleed which I'm hoping is just a post pill period. I can't wait for my body to be back to normal, It's amazing how a tiny pill can cause so much damage! I suppose the only positive is that you definitely won't get pregnant on this pill as the bleeding means no sex whatsoever. This pill has honestly put me off trying any sort of contraception again. I'll happily take my existing problems over the side effects from this pill any day!"


"Feeling alive again but still having panick attacks.

I've been on 10mg for the past month  but I noticed every time I have drinks,  the next  day I have nasty pânic attacks. They are awful.  Its been only a month.  Does it get better after 2 months.  I like this medicine, I feel alive again. I wanna jump out of my bed and go to the gym at 6am like before! I haven't felt like this in a year! Before all I wanted to do was sleep and stay attached to my bed.

I love this med but i think I'll need to upper the dose for my anxiety.  :'("


"I've had problems with my feet burning for several years. Every year it was worse than the year before. It got to the point that I couldn't stand anything on my feet. Lyrica helped a lot, with much less frequency and severity of burning. Finally some relief. Unfortunately, I had to discontinue because of side effects. I had almost all side effects listed in the info sheet. Most I could have tolerated, but the ones I couldn't was weight gain, confusion, and fast progressing blurred vision. Also, I had severe clinical depression over 18 years ago until I received the correct antidepressant. I've had no depression since. However, the Lyrica caused it to return, although not as severe. It also caused anger flareups, very unlike me."


"I had a bacterial infection and feeling ill, and the doctor prescribed Bactrim. I didn't think it was helping as my illness took a turn for the worst. I had fever, chills, muscle weakness and pain, stomach pain, and I couldn't get out of bed. I'd start to feel better after a few hours and thought it was finally working. Nope. I took my next dose of Bactrim and all the symptoms came back full strength and I was severely ill again. I finally linked it to Bactrim and stopped taking it. My symptoms cleared up over the course of a few days. I learned my grandmother and mother have a severe sulfa allergy, and I found out the hard way I do too. Words just don't describe how sick I was on this medication."


"My Doctor prescribed Marinol after I had adverse reactions to most antiemetics given to me during chemotherapy.  Converting from IV to oral cytotoxins, nausea made my quality of life poor.  Marinol made such a positive change for me.  Taking between 2.5 and 5 mgs, there is only about 20 minutes of silliness, which my family welcomes, then relief from vomiting for 6 to 8 hours.  It has been a life saver for me and for my family."


"For the first 5 days I was excessively happy, I felt like I had finally found a medicine that was really going to work for me though the cost was a concern, my Dr was helping out with samples to see how it affected me as I am also ADHD, have an anxiety disorder, PTSD and other medical issues. On day 6 my face started tingling. Then I noticed that things didn't taste right like coffee no longer had flavor, soda tasted funny and so on. Later that day I was trying to talk to my dad and I kept losing words, my speech was very impaired and I felt so itchy all over like fire ants were biting me. I called my Dr who told me to stop it immediately. I stopped and my depression has worsened, my anxiety is worse and my speech is still impaired."


"I love this pill! The only problem I had with it was during the first month. I had been struggling with panic attacks for about 9 months before starting Trinessa but they became alot worse during the first month of taking it. After the first month, however, I was fine no more emotional problems (except those I had normally). I also have bouts of nausea sometimes around my period, but nothing I can't handle. No pregnancy scares, no weight gain, and no acne. I take it religiously at the same time everyday without fail (alarm on my phone really helped). First time I've taken birth control and it's been a good experience. I'm 19, for reference."


"I went on Wellbutrin some time ago so I don't remember the dose.  I had tried at least 4 SSRI's and didn't get much relief from my depression, mostly a lessening of morbid thoughts.  The problem was that all of them without exception made me very drowsy.  So my shrink suggested Wellbutrin.  I was on it for about 3 months.  At first it seemed to make me much better, certainly no drowsiness, but after awhile I got quite depressed again.  Finally I stopped and to my amazement the very next day I felt substantially better!  I knew my depression wasn't cured but I knew for sure that Wellbutrin had made me worse."


"I've been on this for over ten years. I don't recommend it to anyone who will ever want to get off it as withdrawal is HORRIFIC. No exaggeration. Has it  helped the depression well enough so I'm functional? Absolutely. Has it "cured" me? No. It just makes life bearable. I should add that I also have BPD, so not being uselessly depressed all the time didn't solve everything.
All that said, I have most recently stopped it (again ) thanks to my angry, destructive nature. I'd been on 300mg and did a quick lowering of dosage to get off it. I just want to be myself as a mess instead of a drugged-up version of myself as a mess. Isn't there something wrong when a drug so greatly changes your brain? Doesn't its bad withdrawal mean it's dangerous?"


"Horrible, horrible, horrible I have never had acne this bad in my life!!!!!!!!!! My WHOLE chin and jawline are red and covered in cystic acne!!! I HAD PERFECTLY CLEAR SKIN BEFORE. I am honestly in a complete panic with what is going on with my skin. I'm in shock that a small pill could do this much damage. My face hurts so bad because of the acne. Its been only 3 weeks since I started taking it. Switching to sprintec tomorrow. DO NOT USE THIS, SAVE YOUR SKIN!!!!!"


"Medication works by inducing a period. After taking this medicine I had to take clomid and I conceived on my 4th round of medication. It works. Be patient and good things will come. I am now trying again to conceive and yes I am taking provera again and I just started my 1st round of clomid."


"Took this for seasonal depression and after a couple days my mood was a lot better. After a couple of days I actually felt what I thought was euphoria until it leveled out to normal."


"I was on Zoloft for about 7 years. Worked great at first, but eventually had to come off it due to horrible side effects. If I missed a dose, I would have debilitating brain zaps. Then, I started the brain zaps randomly through the day regardless of missing a dose or not. This medicine killed my libido."


"I've been a migraine headache sufferer since childhood. For the past two month, I was having a severe episode of migraine and ended up in a ER within three days apart. Then the resident neurologist gave me prescription for Nortriptyline 10mg (increasing the dose every week by 10mg till it reaches 40mg). It is two weeks now (20mg), I didn't have any migraine headache but for some reason I have this fear of being on a medicine for the rest of my life. However I'm very, very excited to live two weeks without migraine."


"I've been on Soolantra for just under a week and I am now starting to see results. The pustules and redness on one side of my face has greatly diminished and the other side isn't far behind. My rosacea was really getting me down so I am thrilled that there is now something out there that can effectively treat this condition! :-)"


"I was put on Multaq after 1 episode of afib.  Since then I have experienced nausea every night, loose stools several times a day and headache.  My out of pocket from insurance last year was $20 for 3 months from express scripts.  This month for a three month supply was $647."


"Okay well at FIRST this medication was pretty cool, it took away ALL my pain and not only that but gave me extra energy as well. Before I had my son I would not let doctors prescribe me narcotic pain killers for anything, as I had been addicted to Vicodin in the past. SO, my son was born and I then developed bursitis from years of running in the army, working out, and a combo of a hip surgery and other factors. At first I went to chiropractor 3x a week, massage therapy, physical therapy and finally told the doctor I HAD to have some pain medication, it was so bad it changed my life. Started taking these 2 years ago & now they don't help me but if i DON'T take them I get sick! :( wish I'd never started on them now."


"Finishing my 3rd month on Saxenda. The first month I lost close to 20 pounds- and at the end of 3rd month I have shed over 35 pounds. I take the shot at bedtime and aside from the first few days- suffered no side effects. Eating small meals and walking every night. Need to start weaning off - as my 50 pound goal is in sight!"


"I love the patch. I was on the Depo and it made me miserable. I was bleeding for 3 months straight till' I switch to Xulane. This will be my third month using the patch and the only con is the nausea, skin irritation around the area and having to reapply it because of clothes or showering. I have gained weight, that I don't mind but I can't stop eating! I plan on staying with the patch. Highly recommend."


"Did not help with pain at all.  Just gained a lot of weight!"


"Works excellent for my nasal drip and stuffy nose.  I am not sure yet if it helps with my headaches as I have not been on it that long."


"Flattening out the dosage peaks as these occurr with Ritalin is a pleasant experience, reducing fatigue and also the moments per day being confronted with a chronic condition. Most notable side effect was extreme agitation, forcing to quit the usage."


"I am 41 years old and have osteoarthritis in both knees.  I have tried everything from steroid injections, medications, and physical therapy without any long term relief.  The steroid injections were really painful and didn't last, so I was very hesitant to try the Euflexxa.  My Orthopedic Dr. gave me two choices (lubrication injections or arthroscopy).  I knew that I didn't want the arthroscopy so I went for the Euflexxa.  I was terrified but needed some relief.  My first injection hurt a little and my knees were sore for a few hours.  My second injection hurt a little more and was sore a little longer than the first time.  I will have my third injection in 2 days and can't wait.  I am so glad that I did it! My knee pain is very minimal."


"Started on 5mg then moved up by 5 each month, currently on 15mg moving to 20 next week. I call this my miracle pill! First 5 days were hellish, worsened anxiety, headaches, tiredness, jaw clenching and just feeling out of it. But please stick it out! It's so worth it. I feel better than I have in years. I could hardly leave my house. Now I've done more in the past few weeks than I have in a year! Only reason I didn't rate it 10 is because I'm still not on recommended dose and still have a way to go. But all in all this has helped me so much. I'm a better person on this medication. Please try it. You don't have to suffer."


"I am starting my second trial week on Qsymia.  I have lost 3 pounds this week...was hoping for more, but I'll take it.  My only complaints are feeling extremely tired.  I am just wiped out.  I am having trouble sleeping at night, but the pills alone just make me feel completely, exhausted.  I don't feel overly thirsty, and the first few days I felt very hungry, however my appetite has decreased over the course of the week.  If only the exhaustion would go away...that is my main concern."


"Wow - this is interesting.  First I was scared to try another anti-psychotic as I typically get akathisia, but for some reason I have not had issues with it this time around (so far). I have to say that Saphris works wonders on negative symptoms that most medicines would not really touch.  I find myself actually wanting to go outside, and be around people and just do things in general - my lack of desire has just gone.  This makes me so much more happier.  I just didn't think it was possible, and that I was just stuck the way I was.  It tastes nasty though and it numbs your tongue for 15-20 minutes.  Also it puts me to sleep.  But other than that I have to say the pros definitely do outweigh the cons.  I just wish it would come in pill form!"


"One month later- PSA is 0.16!  Sure, it's not a cure bit it's a nice respite from PSA anxiety.  Liver tests all well."


"I have been on zoloft for OVER 20 years, and am in the medical field myself... As far as someone with extensive experience both as a patient and caregiver I can say this with absolute certainty....If when you first start Zoloft *Sertraline* you have some small side effects that is completely normal and to be expected as your body adjusts to this SSRI medication. its all about finding the right fit for you! You should start Low and slow and not be afraid to try to feel better! =) This medication can be a valuable asset to your life as it has been mine! and most common effects early on was feeling tired little dizzy and nauseous but it was worth those small things to feel better and live better!"


"I take it mainly for flying.  Take it about 30 minutes before take-off and by the time we're taxiing I'm relaxed and not scared."


"I am on 10mg of Brintellix, and have been for approximately 2 years. This med is a miracle worker for me, I am more stable than I have ever been. However, as a result I experience severe nausea as well as projectile vomiting, if taken after a large meal it is not as bad; within the hour after taking the medication I either feel like I am going to vomit or barely have time to make it to the toilet before vomiting. This is the one negative of this medication, so I have had to choose to deal with this in order to keep the positive outcome in dealing with my MDD; my whole life has changed since starting Brintellix. Vomiting/Nausea is a small price compared to just not living."


"I had my Implanon inserted 4 weeks ago. I had my period for 5 days after insertion but it was the same length of time and flow as my period on the pill. After that I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding yet. I have noticed, however, weight fluctuation of about 5 pounds but nothing crazy. I was nauseous for the first week, and now am noticing a bit of emotional liability (I cry at the drop of a hat, I can't watch tv without crying). But so far it doesn't bother me. I'll probably put in another review if anything changes. As for now, so far so good! "


"I was so excited when I learned I was a good candidate for the mirena, after have 2 kiddos 17 months apart I was done for awhile! The initial insertion was a breeze! I didn't hardly feel it and as just a precaution I took some Tylenol and had no issues. That very next month my period was non existent. No cramping or bleeding, I was one happy mommy! Now we are going on a little over 2 years and something is terribly wrong! For the past 6 months I have been spotting (which I haven't had since before insertion?) Intense cramping and killer headaches. I have an appointment scheduled the first of the year and plan to take it out. Yes, the first 2 years were amazing but if this contraception is the cause of how I've felt lately it isn't worth it."


"I began Nortriptyline about one month ago and few side effects so far! I am thrilled to read several peoples experiences have been mostly positive. I still have headaches but nothing I need to run to urgent care for injection. I've taken Imitrex as needed for a couple yrs and it stopped working. I noticed lots of posts from people who work in healthcare as I do, very stressful at times. I pray over time I will not have migraines. The Anxiety of them popping up at work is aweful. But these posts stating it works has me much more hopeful! Thanks all-"


"I started this pill a month ago. After 4 days of taking it, I had a heavy period and terrible cramps that lasted for 5 days. The cramps was gone and the heavy period went away, but after 2 days I had the medium bleeding again and the cramps. It gets worse when exposed to cold or I am cold. I do not know why. I never had this problem before. I'm am experiencing breasts tenderness and depression. And now I am on my 2nd brown pill and I have cramps and moderate bleeding. I do not know if this is normal but I am still taking it. My sister-in-law said, who is a nurse that this is normal and would normally lasts for 3 mos."


"The medicine works wonders on controlling my hot flashes.  It is easy to use but will only stay on for about 5 days.  I apply to clean dry skin and take one shower a day.  I don't sit in a tub of water or go swimming. This is the only negative thing besides the price.  I have to pay for my medicine but it is worth the dollars, not having constant hot flashes."


"AWFUL BC Method!! While on Skyla I got pregnant about exactly a year after having it in. It was in place and I was having regular monthly periods. Not to mention about six months after having it in I developed a ovarian cyst the size of a grapefruit that had to be surgically removed. The cyst also killed one of my ovaries causing in the removal of one of my ovaries and one of my Falopian tubes. Seriously this method is not safe. After finding out I was pregnant I found a lot of others who had gotten pregnant on this."


"I have used Prevacid before and it does work well. Years ago, a doctor told me that they wanted to put a scope down my throat. I am not really in to that idea so it has not been done. I do not use this often due to the price increase but I would recommend it."


"I ben taking 1,000mg a day .I split up 500 in morning and 500 at night for 3 months. I gained 35pounds in the first month. Its a great mood stabilizer,  but it only works part of the time.  I have the shakes ,acne , vision problems from it. I took topimax before it was great but I got kidney stones from it . I need to get another med that actually works!"


"Be patient and calm, I was in your position freaking out and worrying but relax, my girlfriend ended her period December 5th and we got too into the moment and had unprotected sex and after we rushed to get plan b and took it within the hour, she didn't feel much effects but had the brownish bleeding 5 days later and freaked out, took a pregnancy test and it was negative, December 12th we had unprotected sex again , took the pill within the hour again and both were freaking out again (we have learned our mistake), she still didn't have any effects which was freaking me out but her period came December 24 right as she was supposed to get it, pray and be patient, the pill works we took it twice in a month and were ok, we are happy, good luck"


"I been on Contrave for 3 1/2 months. I have lost 60lbs. I have changed my eating habits. Workout every night. I highly recommend this medicine."


"I found it really nauseating. I prefer not to take it again. The texture was hard to get down for me as well. Glad it works for some people."


"Was prescribed for depression, but it affected my panic disorder very much. I went from 6-7 panic attacks a day to 1-2 a week/month. It really really helped with my anxiety. The initial 2 weeks were horrible though, increased anxiety, hot flashes. And it interacts with a lot of medications (including vitamin d supplements)"


"
300 mg and colcris to reduce anything the might happen. Miracle drug if something  on side line whoops the gout in shape. Took for 30 days and was in perfect shape... had a bad gout attack and found more colcris which was prescribed a year ago and I wasn't suppose to be taking ... anyways however I was taking it for 30 more days... My feet were in peace and in heaven for the ultimate use your foot at u wanted mode. 3 days after colcris ran out... It's been hell! I don't know what to do.... I just might finally cut my foot off!"


"I have taken Pradaxa for 6 months and have started having severe back pain in the lower back and also in the hipbones.  Stopped taking it AMA and the pain lessened significantly.  Another ultrasound showed that the clot has moved from calf to thigh so although my leg feels 90% better, the clot is still present and on the move."


"My 8 yr old has been on the meds for 3 days now.  His teachers say he's doing great at school and he's a lot more focused and less compulsive. BUT... He complains of being tired the entire time, stomach pains, headaches.  I give him the medicine at 7:00 a.m.  By 4:00 its starting to wear off and he seems to be coming off a high. At moments hes pure goofy almost to the point I say psychotic moments.  He also talks to himself a lot. I don't know if I should give it a week or 2 to get in his system or stop it.  I understand he needs better focus and less compulsive moments at school but I love him more than to harm him with medicines. "


"I am on a little past a month on it and I started at 40mg a day and after the one month check in they upped my dose to 80mg a day. For the first week really nothing happened except for mildly dry lips, after about 7 days my skin started to dry out but it wasn't too bad. Before Claravis my skin was horribly oily and I always had to worry about it. Now my skin is dry but I'm not going to complain. It does give you joint pain so if you have a job where it requires lifting heads up your back will hurt. The pill makes my skin less dry then topical creams like tretinoin and adapalene anyway so I like it. Don't know if this is a side affect of the medicine but orange juice and many other drinks now have a really strange after-taste. Overall it's amazing."


"Taking abilify about 10 years. Does cause weight gain and for myself no sexual desire.  The swings from manic to depression continue but are manageable.  Do not take yourself off this drug "cold turkey".  Caused many psychotic episodes for me which disappeared when returning to the drug.  Sad movies no longer make me cry. Don't have great joyful moments either.  I don't stagger around like when I was on lithium.  I do have hypertension not always controlled by the 3 antihypertensive I'm taking."


"This medication has been brilliant for anxiety, insomnia and getting my appetite back.

However, if you read the side effects of mirtazapine, it does indicate that weight gain is one of the main side effects of this medication regardless of how little you eat. READ IT! If you eat twice as much as usual you will become very overweight.

Mirtazapine has really helped my depression, anxiety, insomnia and lack of appetite. I have put on 2 stone in 5 months on 15 mgs a day and that's without 'pigging out'

I have decided to taper off by taking 15 mgs every other day for a couple of weeks then down to 15mgs 1 in3 days and see how it goes. I have started to notice a difference already

I'm not mad enough to stop it completely  its helped me so much"


"I am taking care of my husband while he is on this treatment. Every side effect is showing up. He is on his 4th month and I am considering stopping the medicines altogether. "


"Absolutely felt better in years. i have never used any medication prior to this so i was absolutely skeptical about my issue. this morning, i waited and waited for that steady drip down my armpit and it never came and it was only the first day i used it! I was absolutely ECSTATIC. now, i can wear clingy shirts and cute tops without ever worrying about there being a nasty stain or worse having someone see the sweat. Btw, the stinging are only small side effects. neverthless, no pain no gain."


"Been on this for over a year. I've gained weight get extremely emotional before I start. I am on bc to help regulate my periods. I know when I will start however bleeding is heavy and I spot for three weeks and I get maybe a week off from spotting/bleeding. This is a killer to my sex life! I have contacted my OBGYN to help find me a bc that is no periods to see if that helps!"


"I have been on 400 mg of lamictal for 12 years. My life went from a nightmare of being diagnosed with major clinical depression and anxiety disorder with racing thoughts to a normal life. I tried more antidepressants and combinations than I can count in the 3 years leading up to my rapid cycling bp2 diagnosis. I have minor hypomanic episodes a few times a year and only a few depressive episodes in the last 12 years. No side effects. Tonight I start Teva manufacturer generic. New insurance won't cover brand ($1100/mth) So scared if it will work. Doc says I'll know within 2 weeks.  Had a baseline blood draw so I can compare my levels on brand vs. Generic."


"This medicine saved my life. I was in pain and miserable. Tried all the OTC stuff Zantac, Pepcid, Previced, and many others with no success. Then I tried omeprazole and within day's I was better. Great medicine. Would definitely recommend."


"Prevented pregnancy; however, caused me to gain 15 lbs, break out badly on my face, have mood swings weekly, and be dry as a bone during sex"


"Recently prescribed Nabilone for Fibromyalgia general pain. Do not hesitate to try this medicine. Been in pain for over 10 years with my doctor prescribing various SSRI's and SNRI's for what he believed to be depression and/or anxiety.  I was also experimented on with Lyrica, Cymbalta, amitriptyline, Wellbutrin, etc. I was on 11 pill medications a day (I am only 49 years old and in relatively good physical condition). I am now on 3 (acid reflex, blood pressure and now Nabilone). "


"I've only taken the Suboxone for two days now, waiting for this "miracle" everyone is talking about to happen. Started 8mg yesterday after a month of trying the methadone treatment that made me feel awful. Withdrew appropriately as to not cause precipitated withdrawal, and was even worse yesterday than when I has tried cold turkey on my own. Deep depression. Today, 12mg. Still waiting to feel good, still waiting to not have cravings, still waiting to stop crying. I'm paid up for two weeks, this needs to be the answer. Everyone is saying they felt amazing the first day, doesn't anyone struggle the first few and then feel amazing? I don't want to hold my breath, but I really need this to be my answer too."


"I've been using Alesse 28 for a little over a year now and it's my first birth control pill! I use it mainly for period regulation since my period wouldn't come 6 months at a time and for birth control (10/10 effective when used properly). When I first started taking Alesse, my abdominal region felt a bit uncomfortable, but within a matter of about 2 weeks it went away. Some symptoms I've taken notice of was the mild mood swings I'd have once in a while and a little bit of dizziness. Now, the abdominal pain and dizziness I seem to have experienced a year ago has subsided, but the mild mood swings are still apparent and prevalent. I have no consistent weight loss or weight gain, acne, hair loss or hair growth, or loss of a sex drive."


"Suffered from mild anxiety and mild depression as well as moderate PMDD. This medicine at 5mg has literally transformed my life. I was worried about weight gain as I had an eating disorder before, but I haven't gained a pound or lost a pound.  I am the person I used to be, I don't yell and scream from PMDD anymore.  The first week I had headaches, and vivid dreams but that goes away, now the only side effect I have is very entertaining detailed dreams; its neat actually."


"This medicine is the best thing that ever happened to me. I had tried several medicines over the years and nothing helped what I thought was stress and anxiety. After I had my baby at 27 I thought I was worse than ever and assumed I had Postpartum Depression. I was surprised to be diagnosed as bi-polar. The medicine worked right away and I have never been happier. I am a better person, mother and wife now."


"I was on Amantadine several years ago for at least a year or two before I was roped into expensive DMT drugs for MS.  Now I have recently requested it from my new doctor since I am no longer on the MS drugs.  I feel amazing!!  "Normal" like I was as a teenager normal."


"This drug is a life saver for me as I have diagnosed with SeHCAT  that I have idiopathic severe Bile Acid Malabsorption , we're talking decades of severe diarrhoea daily ,and being dismissed as an " it's all in the mind, non compliant patient" type. My only issue is that since taking it I've started tinnitus. However I'm hoping that a new med will come out shortly or trying to take less will help manage that as it's a very difficult thing to live with."


"OH. MY. GOD. This medication is an absolute MIRACLE!! I started having terrible acne when I got into my early 20s, it was all over my t-zone. My family, friends, coworkers... Basically everyone put me down about it for years until I had zero self-esteem left. It was the worst time of my life. I tried countless over the counter creams & if anything, they all made it worse. So I knew I had to go see a dermatologist asap. First, he prescribed me a topical cream which of course, made it worse. I went back & told him I need oral medication because no topical creams work on me. He finally prescribed me Acticlate & within a month or two, my face cleared up dramatically. People now tell me how great my skin looks!"


"I've only been on vimpat/lacosamide for absence seizures for five days so far, so I can't say how affective it is yet for sure (I'm having the same amount of seizures I've had since taking lamotrigine for the past 3 years). I have noticed in the first 2 days I had nausea & headaches, but now by far the worst side effect I've had is stuttering, choppy speech and forgetting simple words. Ever since taking epilim chrono, I've had side effects with basically all the other meds I've taken since (the month & a half I was on epilim was simultaneously great & bad, bc it took away most of my seizures but I had almost every side effect listed, so I'm wondering if anyone else has had the experience of that?) I'm hoping the side effects might pass ugh"


"I took my 2nd injection two days ago and for the first time in two years I can bend my left knee to a much greater degree. I feel very optimistic about playing tennis again. I was told that I am on bone and bone and needed a knee replacement. Go try this injection before considering surgery."


"I've been on this birth control for eight months. My skin is clearer than ever. I have occasional breakthrough bleeding, but it's just spotting, nothing big, no mood swings but once a month my belly bloats a little bit. Didn't make me gain any weight though."


"After 16 years of very severe acne I have finally perfect solution, cleared my face within 1 month. Love it, perfect!"


"I've been on tarina for three months now and its great as a birth control factor. However, I am very emotional now, not as extreme as others, but I do get upset at little things now and I take offense at harmless jokes that I would have never gotten upset about before the pill. I also notice that my cramps are strong (5/10) considering I barely had cramps before these pills, and I get bloated often. Overall it does prevent pregnancy, but crying, cramps, and bloating are the price you have to pay."


"I've been on Provigil for 2 years now for ADD like symptoms caused by a brain injury. After 14 years of not being able to keep my thoughts together enough to hold a job, I can now connect the dots and have been working full time for a year and a half. I do not take Provigil to make me smarter or give me an edge. I just want to be able to balance my check book and hold a job. I no longer have insurance to help with the cost, so I have been trying to make what I have left last as long as possible. Lately I've been having trouble organizing my thoughts and being able to finish the simplest of chores. Looking back, it is amazing how much this drug helps me to live a normal life."


"Diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago. Took 15 double radiation treatments and been on Anastrozole for 5 years. When I finish this prescription I will be through. I must be the lucky one. I had no side affects other than the normal aches and pains that happen to older people.  I had a friend who would not take this and she lived 3 months after her surgery. If the doctor says you need it, please take it."


"I have chronic migraine headaches so my doctor gives me Norco 10/325 to ease the pain. NOTHING works better than this medicine, not even Percocet, or oxycodone. I'm 30 years old 6'3", 250 lbs so I'm assuming that's why I got something a little stronger than Vicodin. I had been going to the neurologist for about 2 years before he started giving me these. I know its not a cure but thank goodness its around. Highly recommended."


"Hey everyone! So i had sex and the condom happened to break! I was near my ovulation time. I took Plan B maybe 30 min to an hour after it happened. The next day I felt super nauseous. I worried myself to Death looking at reviews. But please just relax!!!! Reviews will just worry you and make things worse! I ended up getting my period on time, but it came 2 days early. I had brown spotting a few days prior to getting my period. My breasts were SOOOOOOOO sore. But hey I'm not pregnant! And I'm getting on birth control this month. I wish the best of luck to all of you! And please be safe! I know a friend who took plan B and it didn't work :("


"It works well to stop seizures when they come in clusters or they are long lasting. My 14 year old daughter uses it and its the only thing that helps when she's having a rough day."


"I have had high blood pressure for over 12 years.  I started taking lisinopril when I was only 32 years old.  Just recently it has stopped controlling my high blood pressure very well.  Additionally, I didn't realize it, but after reading all the other reviews, I now know where my cough is from!  The dry cough started about 1 year ago and I just never really connected the two.  Just today I have stopped the lisinopril and my Doctor has prescribed a beta blocker called metoprolol which I took for the first time today.  Lisinopril worked really well for me for years (over 12) with hardly any side effects except the recent dry cough.  I just believe my body has become tolerant of it and it no longer does the job."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The first round of this was hell. I tried to mix it with ginger-ale instead of water because the taste was SO horrific and that honestly just made it worse. Tried to eat Jolley-ranchers in between drinks to counteract it, tried everything. Honestly, mix it with COLD water. COLD water is your friend, and just get it down. Drink cold water in between drinks--helps with the after taste."


"So I started this pill and was excited but had to stop right in the middle of the pack.  I mean out of nowhere, there is a burst of bleeding.  I went to the bathroom and it's like my period snuck up on me and it was almost 2 weeks before my period is due.  There was lots of clots and brown yucky stuff.  On top of all that my moods were really crazy. I would be lying in my bed and would feel like crying and then be okay the next moment.  I have only been off now for two days cause I just couldn't take the crazy mood swings and the bleeding anymore.  I also noticed a great deal of fatigue and even that has changed even after just 2 days off of loestrin. It's not worth it and I cannot wait for it to be out of my system."


"Beyaz didn't work for me. My GYN put my on this pill because I wasn't ovulating. This pill turned out to be my worst nightmare. The first week, I became very emotional and light menstrual bleeding and cramps. The second week my bleeding became heavier and cramps turned into preassure in my lower abdominal area. The pressure made me so uncomfortable. No medicine helped. Called my GYN office and spoke with her nurse. She suggested doubling up on the meds I was currently taking. That helped some but not much. The third week the bleeding became extreme with large blood clots. Having to wear 2 huge pads at a time was awful. And the pressure turned back into pain. I called my GYN back they advised me to stop the pill immediately."


"Hi I am 26 years old female, I would like to share this story to help others. I have depression for four years, which lead to mayor anxiety. I was becoming a recluse and I had an explosive temper, it was affecting everything I was doing. When I was first diagnosed I was put on  small dosage of Citalopram and then increased to the maximum dosages. The counsellors and doctors thought I was over the crisis after a year and half of treatment, but then a had a terrible relapse. I was placed back on Citalopram, but I felt like I was drowning. So after few tries with other medication they put me on Sertraline and I can honestly say it's been a gift from God. My mood is brighter and now I feel like I can live and get on with me life."


"Dealing with arthritis over 20 years; first ran the gamut of all the meds, was lambasted when I suggested old fashioned pain meds. Finally told nothing more rheumatology could do for me; that I should try pain mgmt. That equals opioid therapy; was a godsend for me. 8 years now, no problems/side effects; take as prescribed; rarely asked for increase. I take as prescribed responsibly. With the climate how it is today there's a stigma if you are on opioid therapy you are addicted. BS! After 8 years if I was going to have problems they would have happened by now. Belbuca IMO is using devious marketing ploys; it does not work. Maybe a minority, but what about honest law abiding patients who benefit from opioids taking it responsibly?"


"I have been taking Lexapro for two months now for my anxiety. It has barely helped my anxiety and has left me feeling tired all day long. I also have gained weight and have completely lost my sex drive."


"37 year old male, extremely fit, 2 time Iraq deployed, still Active Duty Army. Blood pressure sky rocketed after my first deployment in 2004/2005. VA prescribed lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide. Struggled from the start with severe headaches and very high pulse for over 10 years and thru a second deployment in 2010/2011. VA refused to change meds even though my BP and pulse were never stable. Finally manned up and switched to a civilian doctor a month ago. He immediately told me to cease the VA's medicine and put me on Bystolic. I've never felt better. BP during exercise hasn't been over 124/71, pulse 105ish, lowers to 115/60ish thru out the day and my pulse is a beautiful 58-70 at its highest during the stresses of daily Army work."


"After 40 years of smoking - the last 10 at 3 packs a day - I finally tried Champix. After patches, gum, spray, lozenges all didn't work, I experienced very strong withdrawal symptoms with all three. I got a Rx and began taking them. After about 3 - 4 days I started to feel quite sick to my stomach. I read the info about side effects and there it was: nausea is the first and most common side effect. My doc recommended an anti nausea pill commonly called Gravol and after taking both, the nausea disappeared.
What's very important to know about Champix is that it removes the withdrawal symptoms. Completely!
Try it, it sure worked for me and I hope it works for you.
Cheers and good luck!"


"I had been struggling with constipation since I was 19 from taking Tylenol 3's for pain and had tried every laxative imaginable. I even tried colon hydrotherapy and that did nothing for me. I am now 24 and have been taking Miralax for the past month and I have never felt better. It feels great to be regular again. Prior to Miralax I was going once a week."


"When I get stressed, drink lots of alcohol or even go in the sun I'm almost guaranteed a cold sore. Unlike most people I don't feel an itch it just pops out of nowhere. I take about 5000-8000mg the first time I notice it and it definitely reduces the size! Then I decrease the dosage slowly. I find it does make them go away faster and the nasty blister stage isn't so nasty anymore. Maybe if I could catch it in time I wouldn't have them because lysine works!!"


"Pros: day one I was able to breathe again and the drainage / stuffiness went away. Added bonus is some recurring acne on the back of my head went away.

Cons: severe abdominal pain, sweating, and racing heart. I slept maybe 30 minutes that night."


"since starting this medication, my breathing ha improved immeasurably. i can workout harder and with more energy.its a great product. getting fewer colds and phlegm."


"Worked fantastically.
I have tried Caverject since and it worked ok but had a semi that lasted about 3 hours and the injection site was painful. I've also tried the new Vitaros but found it useless. MUSE though.......the erection drug of the gods!"


"I went on this birth control to clear up my moderate acne. After just completing the fourth month of this pill, my skin is completely clear. The first couple of months I didn't really see any changes, but around the third month I saw slow progress. Other side effects I've experienced is weight loss, loss of appetite, and manageable nausea that has recently gotten better, but still occurs on a daily basis. I don't have any mood swings that I've experienced with other birth control. Super happy with the results!!"


"I highly recommend this BC. Not only is it a super convenient option for those of us that can't seem to take a pill at the same time every day, it has also helped regulate my cycle. Pills make me nauseous. I don't like needles so depo is not gonna happen. I tried an IUD and loved it for the fact that I only got a period every 3 mo and it was super light, but it shifted somehow and I had a bad experience in the removal process. I got my THIRD Nexplanon implant yesterday and swear by them. Stopped after my first to have another child and have been doing well for the 6 years. No crazy bleeding patterns, helped monumentally with my moodiness and cramping. This thing is the best. Totally worth the fact that my arm hurts for a day after insertion."
