"This is the only bc that I have been able to tolerate since I had my first child over 10 years ago. I had no problems prior to pregnancy. I had a hard time after my 2nd child. No period, thyroiditis, mood swings, depression...yuck! I have evened out now. I did have headaches, nausea, breast tenderness and mood swings in the beginning. Currently on the 5th mo. I do suffer from insomnia but often wonder if Viorele is making it worse. I had many other symptoms that were way worse than starting on Viorele. It's calmed me and fatigue is trying to leave. My bowels are effected during the yellow pills and first few days of a new pack. Meds effect everyone differently. I was about out of options, glad the side effects are diminishing."


"20 mg. Very disappointed with AD effects after 4 months. Less cravings for booze + cigs than effexor. Constipation, sluggishness, slightly improved cognition."


"4 day migraines reduced to an overnight sleep on Fiorinal w/ Codeine
HUGE DIFFERENCE"


"I am a 23 year old male 175lbs, on Adderall 20mg XR. Great tool. Motivation and self-esteem awesome boost. Focused and better moods. Persistent anxiety lessened. Some grogginess but manageable so long as you eat appropriately. Minor loss of appetite.  Been on Strattera and Lexapro in past, no comparability to Adderall XR!  Absolutely recommend to others and parents."


"I started having major panic attacks and general anxiety cuased by the bereavement of my daughter who dies unexpectedly a few months ago. I would wake up int he morning with butterflies in my stomach and feeling like a deer in the headlights. As the day progressed it only got worse. After weeks of this it was just unbearable. I went to see a psychiatrist who prescribed valium- the lowest dose. I take half a pill in the morning and evening and have been on this regimen for two weeks. I cannot begin to tell you what a tremendous relief this drug has provided. I am very sensitive to all kinds of meds and the strongest thing I ever take is Ibuprofen. I had no bad reactions nor any side effects. Awesome."


"Keeps you focused. However when it wears off I can't sleep till 6 hours later."


"I am on my third box of Saxenda and I have not lost one ounce.  I had lost 50 pounds on my own but couldn't go any further.  My doctor recommended Saxenda.  I started August 22 and it is now November 16.  I went back to the doctor and he stated I am the only one who has not lost of the patients he recommended.  He even laughed and said I must be getting the fake pens.  He wants me to continue and stated he would ask the rep the percent who this has not worked for.  The company and the girl asked the batch number but I was at work so I did not have that information.  A nurse was suppose to call me after 3:00 pm but I have not heard anything from anyone and that was at least a month ago."


"I've been on Victoza for 2 & a half years. I was a little nauseated at first but my a1c has been around 6 since i started taking it. I've also lost 70 lbs! I feel better than I ever have!"


"After morphine this would probably be the best pain reliever I know of. I have never had any dizziness, blurred vision or sleepiness but that's probably just me. Fantastic for wisdom teeth also."


"It's true. The first two weeks really are horrible. So make sure you don't start this if you have big plans coming up. I broke out in huge spots, my face was red and tender and my skin was flaking off in big pieces. You can not wear make up at this point. If you get cracked corners of your mouth like I did, hydrocortisone 1% really is your saviour. Cleared it up in two days. I moisturised throughout the day with cetaphil and cleansed every morning and night with cetaphil cleanser. Two weeks later, my skin is almost clear. My dryness is almost gone and the scars are fading.

Stick with it. It really works. It just gets worse before it gets better"


"This pill is total shit. it was prescribe to me to regulate my periods and while it did do that, the side effects were horrendous. The third week of the third month I suffered a severe panic attack at work and was out of work for the rest of that week. I barely left my house and was afraid to drive for the remainder of the week.I had subsequent panic attacks and severe anxiety for the rest of that week along with chest pains and heart palpitations. At one point my anxiety levels were so high I thought I would vomit. I was so scared that I would drop dead any minute from a heart attack. This drug made me a severely anxious emotional irrational mess of a human being. and many of the side effects have lingered for the past five months...."


"After reading other reviews I'm trying it again. My symptoms are so severe that most nights I don't sleep.

Not sure if it didn't work the first time It was prescribed due to its counter action with other meds so I'm trying it again."


"Not seeing any improvement with this medication. Was using another medication prior to this and it's a cheaper, over the counter product, and it at least seemed to stun the fungus and stop it's production into the nail beds."


"I just started taken amitiza 24mg I read up on the side effects and I am having all the side effects at one time it's been over 24 hours and I still got the side effects. I have seen a little bit of blood in my stools but I haven't seen any today. I was put on amitiza because I am on 2 different depression mediations and one anxiety I am also on high blood pressure medicine and a sleeping pill. My HCP gave me samples of it for me to try I'm not sure if its inter reacting from the other medications that I take on a daily basic everyday."


"Requip stopped the restless legs, but caused severe insomnia for me which defeated the purpose for taking it"


"I have been taking aubra for about almost two weeks now. I don't know how to feel about it. I started gaining weight like crazy. I feel like I'm starving 24-7 and I eat like crazy. I have mild head aches and I get really moody. I'm always arguing with my bf for the smallest things. I guess I'll keep taking it for the remaining of the month and then I'll switch over to something else."


"Works great, but watch for weight gain."


"I've been on lexapro for 1 year now and to be honest as a pill to fill the gap for my anxiety it really doesn't work. I intend to tell the doctor on my next visit; there must be another drug that works better."


"Took a tablet less than 24hours ago ,The taste in my mouth was so bad eventually I bought it back up. I stopped taking it and few hours later started , phenoxymethyl-

However , I managed to get the taste out my mouth by brushing my teeth, doing a warm water salt mouth wash and very regularly sipping squash so there's constantly another taste in my mouth. If I don't drink for a little too long It starts to come back and to me the taste is unbareable. Hope this helps"


"48 yo using for 1 month. Was falling asleep after dinner, agitated, and unable to focus at work with no perceived sexual problems.  Now I'm staying awake after dinner, no agitation, and focus is back.  Erections are more rigid and quality of sex is much improved.  Wife is happy, so daddy is happy. Didn't realize I was losing some "game" in the bedroom.  Thought it was normal for my age.  Stickiness is a bit of a problem on some days.  I am a professional and have to wear dress shirts.  I rub the gel in, wash hands, shave and then go over with my hands again and wash hands prior to putting on a shirt.  Some days are more sticky than others.  Called company and they have no plans to correct it.  Smell is not bad.  I like the results!"


"The condom broke the day before I was supposed to start my period and I took Plan B One-Step an hour after the 'accident'.  I was very tired and sick to my stomach but after a good nights rest (10hours, which is unusually long for me) I felt much better, the cramps felt like I was being ripped in two and were so bad they caused diarrhea.  Then 5 days after taking the pill I started my period, I have never been so glad to bleed so much.  I bled for 5days and it was pretty heavy.  It worked great."


"I am 19 years old and started using this patch.  I had surgery to stretch my bladder a year ago (apparently my bladder quit growing at a young age).  Before, I had to go to the bathroom every hour and a half and the surgery was only a temporary fix from this.  This patch worked wonders!  Not only do I go less, but I can also hold it in for a lot longer!"


"I really struggled with this product, yes I quit smoking but I was so nauseas all the time, after taking the evening pill I would have to go to bed due to the debilitation of the nausea.  The product worked but I didn't continue onto the 2nd lot of 4 weeks as I couldn't bear the thought of the terrible discomfort.  I found that when I stopped taking the Champix I had such bad depression and I really struggled for the first few days after stopping.  Yes it makes you stop smoking but for some like me not so good."


"I was first prescribed Synthroid...Whilst my TSH levels came down to 1,9 I still had side effects, like I was permanently cold...and fatigued, as well as gained 30 pounds...I changed to Armour, and my feelings of intense cold subsided, my fatigue eased ff...and my weight is slowly coming down...My TSH level is down to 0.42! "


"Lots of hot flashes fatigue and weight gain but the benefit out way the negative of this drug"


"This is my third day now. I was unlucky to catch the flu the day I started the treatment so I am drained and tired. Side effects I had were migraine hitting my right side of the head all through my teeth, nausea, stomach pains, reflux at night, and waking up with panic attacks. Hope to survive the treatment. Glad to be on break, otherwise certainly unfit for work. No diarrhoea till now but I am energy less."


"Have gone from Adderall to Vyvanse to Dextroamphetamine IR and after 6 months on this, I can say it is by far the best. Same cost as the generic for the same quantity with my insurance and I like the higher dosages since I take 40mg/day. It has the consistency of Vyvanse with the duration of IR tablets."


"I am 56 and still hot flashes. Over 2 years I have increased dosage several times. "


"Since I only ever see negative reviews of nexplanon, I thought I'd share my experience with it. I'm 18 years old, and got Nexplanon inserted in April this year. At first my periods were a little unpredictable, with prolonged bleeding and irregular spotting, but everything evened out eventually. My periods actually stopped completely about two months ago, which I enjoy. I haven't experienced any side effects; I actually lost weight (although I'm not sure if it was actually caused by Nexplanon). It has worked out wonderfully for me!"


"I had an okay experience at first, the only positive thing was that my periods were lighter. The cramping was awful though. I constantly had a headache caused from the estrogen levels so they switched me to something not so high. I was on it for 3 months before they switched me to Aviane."


"I love this!! I have no periods!! I have mild migraines but that is just a small price to pay. I love nexplanon. I had it put in last January and it took 3 months to work, but since then I have had no real issue."


"I've read a lot of comments about the Implanon and have noticed a few negative reviews. This is unfortunate as I am now on my second Implanon and have never been happier. I'm not saying the Implanon is for everyone, but how will you know until you try it for yourself? Don't be scared by the negative reviews. If the Implanon isn't for you, its easy to have it removed and symptoms are taken with it. When I first got the Implanon I had irregular periods for a couple of months but eventually they formed a pattern and I got them every 6 weeks. Since I have had my second Implanon I haven't had a period at all. The chances of falling pregnant on the Implanon are very slim but I rely on the occasional pregnancy test just to make sure. "


"I am 5' 8", 53.  Start weight 233.  Start date 6/27/16, as of today 8/19/16 I am down 30 pounds.  203! Yes, I have some side effects but I have learned to deal.  Constipated, have a serving of raw pumpkin seeds to get things moving.  Dry mouth, drink, drink, drink!  Water of course.  Feeling foggy.  I feel so much less loopy after I get my daily exercise in, don't know why but it changes.  Water also helps with the loopy foggy feeling.  The side effects are minimal as this drugs works along with a diet change and an exercise plan.  I take the 7.5.  Which takes my food craving away."


"After trying Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall. This medicine changed everything. I am organized and focused for first time in my life, I'm 38. Only draw back is it last about 6 hours for me not 12. But 6 productive hours, actually finishing things is better than I've ever had!"


"I have been on Monodox for a little under a month. I take it at night with my dinner and I use a topical medication before bed. My skin has definitely improved although not to the point where I feel like I don't need makeup. Any large or cystic pimples are gone, and I haven't gotten any since, but I do have some mild scarring left that hopefully will go away. I am still suffering from small under the skin white heads that are on my forehead and right cheek, although they have lessened in the number of them there are still plenty left."


"I've been on a 10mg dosage of Citalopram for about 2 weeks now and after a few days I could already see the effects. I have a lot more energy and hardly feel tired (I didn't even realise how tired and groggy I must have felt) I wake up and feel like getting out of bed would be nice! In terms of my anxiety, I usually felt panicked and my stomach and breathing would be really intensely effected but now when I am put in an anxious situation I don't feel panicked. I'm really hoping that it stops my nausea which I get in the worst situations and I have faith that it will. Would highly recommend this drug to try out, I know it doesn't work for everyone but my boyfriend and his father are on it and have had amazing experiences. Give it a go!"


"So I used Norplant back in the day. Had it removed in 5 yrs as scheduled in 98. No problems. No period for 4 yrs. No spotting. All good. So I requested another norplant and was advised it had been pulled due to side effects. Did the pill for a few years them got implanon in 2013 and told I would probably have similar experience as norplant. Wrong. I spotted constantly for almost the entire 3 yrs. Nothing heavy but constant. Maybe 4 or 5 scattered days monthly with no spotting. Not good for my sex life. Got it removed on the 3 yr Mark and went back to the pill. Rarely had a period but started having blood pressure issue so stopped the pill. Considering IUD"


"I had some horrible side effects. All my hair, eye lashes and eye brows fell out. I have super thin hair now, no eye lashes and hardly any eye brows. I had 4 treatments with this drug. At that time, I experienced severe pain that I had to go to the ER for, all of finger nails and toe nails fell out. I also had what seemed to be chemical burns on my hands and feet. My skin peeled off to reveal red sore skin. I also had infection at my cuticle sight on my all of my fingers. Though I have been in remission for 4 years, the side effects were awful. This was my second round of chemo. I had a first treatment with a different drug, 3 surgeries and then this chemo followed with radiation."


"I dislocated my shoulder. The ER doctor gave me this and when I came to a few minutes later my shoulder was back in the socket."


"My pain left but the medication left me quite nauseous."


"My stomach always hurt and threw up and got the runs.  Would not recommend."


"I have had fibromyalgia for about 8 years also develop osteoarthritis in my feet hands neck and back. Just weaning myself out of Prednisone and my pains are returning. Have decided today I will stay on prednisone and keep the dose at ten mg. Quality of life is more important to me. Just to be able to move without stiffness is a relief! I am careful what I eat, very low sugar intake and moderate exercise has helped keep my body weight normal. (Besides other inflammatory drugs are known to contribute to heart attacks). I know someone who have been on cortisone for many years and she is not overweight and has not got osteoporosis. she manages her doses her self carefully she is now 80 years old. if she can do it I can do it too"


"After many different medicines, this medicine worked the best! Happy with results."


"I'm so happy. I was completely stressed out thinking I was going to be pregnant & I'm not ready for a baby at all. The condom had broke of course i took plan b literally 30mins after it has been 6days & i finally got my period i am so happy. A little bit of the side effects bothered me but it is so worth it!"


"Worst experience ever.I got my nexplanon in January of 2015. Insertion was alright, it bruised pretty bad and always itched. I was under the impression I would not have a period at all, but the exact opposite occurred. I have had off and on periods that typically last about a month. Being in the military and on a deployment I didn't want to have to worry about my period, but oh boy I did. Mood swings like crazy. One second I was alright and loved the world and then the next I was yelling at my boyfriend for the smallest things and wanting to cry. I was on the pill previously and did not experience anything like that.
I got it removed earlier today and it was a wave of relief. Finally I know I will have regular periods!!"


"I have had constant afib for over 2 years though mostly tolerable. At times though I have spells that usually run less than a few minutes with a heart rate of around 190 plus and pain. My worst battle with this level lasted about 15 minutes. I take 50mg of Metoprolol 2 times a day on a regular basis but add another 50 if I have the biggies and that settles the heart rate down quickly. Luckily I have no side affects but would love to find something else that quickly slows the heart rate ... mainly to avoid the pain and spooky stuff that goes a;long with it. I've had 11 angioplasties and 10 stents since 1990 and am 70."


"I took Doryx for 2 months and it worked. I stopped taking it and it started coming back in 2 months. Now I paid $270 to buy it again as my insurance would not cover it."


"It's really a miracle for oily greasy face. I love it."


"This, most of the time, is the only antibiotic that works for me. I get bronchitis and sinus infections almost every year. I get no side effects from Levaquin. If you do, discontinue use and call your doctor. I am allergic to penicillin, so I am limited to which antibiotics I can take."


"Experienced excessive sweating my entire life. I wish I would have got treated a long time ago!!! I've always wore baggy shirts, hoodies, layers, anything! To cover it up. Now I don't have to anymore. I never sweat anymore. However! The doctor recommended 3x a week and I got over excessive the first week out of eagerness. If used too often, or right after shaving, it's dries them out so bad and can be very painful. Used as stated is amazing though. Love it!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"After years of struggling with sleep disorders I went through 2 sleep studies, a battery of tests including echo and bloodwork.  Once they find out from sleep studies I have mild obstructive sleep apnea, nocturnal eating disorder, REM resistant sleep disorder, and upper airway resistant syndrome they put me on a CPAP machine and after much pushing I finally got approved for Nuvigil because I am still tired even with CPAP.  My fatigue not only comes from sleep disorders but I also have Type 2 diabetes, Vitamin D3 Deficiency, and Depression fatigue.  Any who I started on Nuvigil like 2 days ago at 150 mg and at first it was perfect but very quickly I've become desensitized to the either the med or dose 150 wears off after 6hours."


"Plan B is awesome! I really works, i was freaking out and looking for reviews just like some of you now because, i was on my most fertile days when i had unprotected sex, and i took plan b just two hours later and it worked!!! i got my period the next week after that.

*If you have not purchased plan b yet and are unsure go on the website for $10 off coupon before you get it."


"I have a terrible taste/smell...like something electrical. Doctor said I have a sinus infection. This medicine has had no effect at all. (Positive or negative). I just finished one week of 2-250mg tablets daily. Doctor said to refill after a week if I don't see any results."


"I'm on the 3rd month of taking lexapro , started off with 2.5mg every night for about a week, then upped to 5mg and when I saw my doctor again 2 weeks later he told me to try the 10mg and I have been on 10mg ever since. At first it's none stop drowsiness weird random dreams and anxiety and insomnia at night. For a good 4-5 weeks , but after that it's cravings and you eat more and calmly and it gets better! It has work wonders! Hopefully it continues to work!"


"I have been taking enbrel for over a year now. It has worked wonders on my arthritis. I have tried everything, and this is the only thing that has worked."


"Switched to this medication after Raltegravir due to adherence issues and couldn't have asked for better! No side effects (same as raltegravir), only have to take it once a day with my Truvada which makes my life a lot more manageable. My counts are still stable; VL 40 CD4 1430 and CD4% 47. In a nutshell if you're struggling with adherence but Stribild isn't an option then I reccomend this to anyone."


"Sleepy but helpful"


"Around May 28th (in my fertile window I believe, I track periods.) I had gone to see my boyfriend and we never really use condoms and I just started my birth control mid-cycle, so about 10 days in. I took the pill for 4 days but I wasn't aware that you had to wait at least a week for it to be effective so when I found this out about 8hrs after having unprotected sex (three rounds using the pullout method but precum contains sperm I think.) I bought the EC. My period wasn't for another two weeks and all I did was panic, worry and read these reviews. Since I continued taking my birth control as instructed my period came 3 days late when I started taking the placebo pill. Please be safe and have protected sex.And take the pill within good time"


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


"I've been taking this for two months and hate it. My periods have been extremely worse than the ones I had before the pill. Plus I'm spotting every. single. week. In addition, I am so nauseous, lower sex drive, and very moody. I forgot to take this pill one night and felt way better the next day. I took the pill that night, and started feeling sick again immediately. I thought I've had a flu bug, but I think it's the effects of this medication!"


"Great. Has made seizures controlled."


"This is an amazing medicine.  By day 2, I was feeling significantly well.  Notwithstanding, the side-effects of the medication for me personally are not comfortable:  sore kidneys in the morning, stomach upset, intestinal discomfort, headaches and muscle soreness.  However, I realize that it's really important to finish my dosage (7 day supply) and I'm on day 4.  This feels like a powerful antibiotic in my system and I'm aware that it is effective against resistant gram positive and negative bacterial infections.  3 more days....yay."


"The medicine knocked my fever from 103 to 100 in just a few hours and the intense achiness went away as well. The side effects were very minimal.  I don't see why some people are complaining about it."


"severe blurred vision, frequent urination day & night, abdominal discomfort."


"I have chronic arthritis and have for 25 years. Believe me I have tried everything.  Finally pain clinic doc put me on Zohydro and I have my life back.  I can't tell you how much it helps.  Please don't let anything happen to where FDA takes this drug away. Why do the druggies have to ruin it for the people that are in pain always.  Thank you  Zohydro...thank you.."


"I've recently started taking Zoloft 25mg for my anxiety and panic attacks. I've suffered from anxiety since 10 grade in high school and I am now 21. I've tried many other anxiety meds and they made it worse. I found Ativan helped me the most however my doctor doesn't want me to have it because it is addictive and she wants me on something every day. So, I've been on Zoloft for 4 days now. I know it takes 2-4 weeks or more for me to be able to feel the full effects. I am experiencing nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, hot flashes, and being kind of out of it. I know these side effects will eventually go away but my worry is how long? I already suffer from other stomach/digestion issues and it makes it hard."


"One month before I got newly diagnosed that I am diabetic. My A1C test shows 6.9 and doctor told I have diabetics. He preferred Januvia 100mg (1 time) with metformin 500 mg (2 times). I felt some side effects initially and gone after some days. Now I am doing regular exercise. But if I stop exercise or eat more food, the side effects like stomach problem easily coming back.

Now when I am checking my sugar in device, it's showing around 70-80 on fasting and 90-105 two hours after breakfast. But I think my glucose coming down when I miss a meal any time. I can't tolerate it.

So I believe, exercise is more important than any medicine. Once I dropped all medicines for ten days and exercised only, it showed normal glucose levels."


"On Humira for two years now and what a difference it has made. I am no longer using a cane to walk and psoriasis is under control. Still some problems with my hands but I can do Yoga and hike again."


"I love this medication. I have had NO break through bleeding and pain in my ovaries has gone away!"


"I have been on Cymbalta for 7months and it has changed my life. I have Ocd, GAD and severe anxiety over health and I havent felt like myself in 4 years until cymbalta. I do get night sweats BADDDDD but its something I have got used too. I take 60mg a day and I never want to get off it. I am a 26 yr old healthy mum and anxiety now doesnt rule my life... I do! :-)"


"This medicine has been a life saver for me, nothing else worked. In a couple of days I felt improvement - no uncontrollable diarrhea. "


"Helped a lot."


"I found citaprolam 10 mg dose using for three months has stopped my gambling addiction straight away. I also stopped feeling paranoid and depressed."


"I've been using epiduo for about a year now and it works for me. At first I hated it a lot it makes your skin super flaky and stingy and dry. Sometimes it's painful to even put on lotion. But after a little bit I started to clear up a face full of acne and the terrible flakyness went away. Now I have almost no acne. I don't need to use foundation hardly ever. I'm not worried at all. It sucks really bad for a while and trust me I quit using it initially but my face got super bad and I ran back to it. It works for some people but if you have sensitive skin already I would not reccomend it. If your skin is already sensitive this stuff will burn it right off."


"Very bad side effects; my Dr. recommended this pill because I wanted to avoid weight gain and have reliable birth control.  I took it for 9 days.

During that time,  I gained almost 10lbs; my normal weight is 120.  My chest is hugely swollen and very painful.  Stopped taking it and still waiting to get back to normal."


"Man this is disgusting the flavour is  from the depths of hell"


"Mirena has given me migraine headaches everyday day of the 3 months I've been on it! I've been dizzy, very anxious. And I feel like I am not myself. I'm 24, have two kids, 3 and 4 years old and I want to be emotionally well for them. Ever since I've had Mirena placed my life has changed I have horrible headaches day and night. I'm getting it removed this month because I want to be myself again. I also want to mention that before Mirena I was on the Depo Shot for 3 years nonstop and switched to Mirena. I don't know if that has anything to do with the side effects. "


"I gave this product 3 stars only because I have a high tolerance even though I am a tiny woman, so my experience may not be the norm. That being said, I had been using Ambien for my insomnia for quite a few months and it was starting to take hours before it would put me to sleep. My Dr. recommended we switch it up to see if another product worked better. I took Lunesta for only two nights before I knew it was not for me. Not only did it keep me awake, but it made my heart race and heightened my already bad anxiety. I immediately switched back to Ambien and I will stay put w that. I'm writing this as I hope this helps someone else like me. Had I read some reviews like this, I would have never switched over."


"Was on 120mg for 2.5 years after trying most of the antidepressants on the market. It worked the longest and the best on my Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) out of all the other SSRI's I've been on over the last 10 years. Unfortunately, its effectiveness began to drop out and my depression came back so I had to switch to something else. If you have been taking this medication for an extended period of time and need to stop taking it, please wean slowly and do so only with the help of your doctor. Many people, including myself suffered for weeks from terrible withdrawal - symptoms included vomiting, dizziness, head spins, extreme fatigue and a worsening of depression symptoms. "


"I've had this for 4 years.  I've seen many doctors and have lived very miserably and confused.  My mother ignored me and kept calling me a hypochondriac but I wanted answers.  Last week they figured it out.  I'm on 500mg Metronidazole 2x daily for 7 days.  Today is the 7th day.  I have never in my life been so terrified of being unhealthy forever.  I want to heal.  On Tuesday, they will be testing my stool to see if I have rid myself of this infection.  If I do not get rid of this stupid bug, I will be soo disappointed.  And the metronidazole feels highly toxic.  My tongue is yellow from all of the yeast in my body from my gut flora being annihilated.  Someone comfort me. "


"Incredibly helpful - short term use."


"I got my nexplanon inserted Sept. 16th, 3 days after having my son. I'm not sure if these bad side effects I'm having are from the implant or postpartum stuff still. No bleeding anymore, but having a horrible foul discharge daily along with irritation and dryness. I thought it could still be post partum lochia , but now I'm not sure reading that a side effect from nexplanon could be vaginitis. Also am noticing headaches and breakouts more than usual. If this continues, I will NOT continue this method. So far not so good."


"I was prescribed Lexapro 6 years ago for general anxiety disorder and mood swings due to premenopause.  This medicine helped me tremendously with very few side effects.  I did gain 30 lbs and had at least 1 nausea episode a day that would last for a couple of minutes.  Other than that, I felt much better.  I decided a few weeks ago to get off the medicine and weened myself slowly.  After a week without it, the anxiety returned.  I'm now back on 5 mg and only after a few days am beginning to feel myself again."


"I'm 17, and took 30MG Vyvance for the first time yesterday. I'm taking it for binge eating disorder, not for ADD or ADHD. After about an hour I was cold and sweaty, I couldn't control what was coming out of my mouth, I fit 4-5 sentences into one breath I was talking so fast. My heart rate was 92 a minute, when I later checked after coming down it was 62 a minute. I felt like the world was moving really slow and I was normal, I felt like I was on top of the world! I began craving Vyvanse about 12 hours after taking it for the FIRST TIME. I didn't, because I refuse to abuse this medication with all the other medications I'm on , anyways. I took it again this morning, it's been an hour and a half and I still feel nothing, not even focused."


"Topamax/Topiramate has been wonderful for tic reduction. I have a fairly obvious case and they are exhausting and embarrassing. I have minimal to no side effects, a little drier mouth perhaps, plus my 15/20 vision reduces to 20/20. I feel less anxious and less "pressure/need" to tic. I can take much lower doses of the brand name to achieve the same effect with the generic; but my insurance won't cover the brand name. It's 100mg twice/day generic versus half that amount brand version. It's still worth it!! I feel so much more in control and "almost normal"."


"This medication literally is a life saver. I've had chronic migraines for 10 years. I was on 10mg for 6 months then my migraines came back. My doctor upped my dosage to 20 and now it's back to normal. But one side effect I can't seem to shake off is sleepiness. I'm sleeping close to 16 hours+ a day."


"I love the Nuvaring. I am skeptical if I've gained weight from it though and my sex drive did decrease."


"So I've just had my IUD for about 2 weeks now. The cramping is no exaggeration. It is very painful and does feel as if it was a contraction coming on. My period has lasted now for about 12 days and doesn't seem to be subsiding. I will give this a try for 3 months and if theres no improvement will need to change to a different method. I have a 22 yr old and a 14yr old and the only good thing about the paragard is the fact that I don't have to worry for 10 yrs."


"I was on Latuda for about 4-5 months, after taking myself off Seroquel. Latuda seemed promising as it has less metabolic side effects than other atypical antipsychotics. However, Latuda immediately gave me severe anxiety (which added klonopin to my daily regiment). Towards the end of the 4-5 months, I began developing recurring and intense dark thoughts immediately after increasing my Latuda dosage. I instantly took myself off of the drug and am searching for a new atypical antipsychotic to fill its place. I know that Latuda has worked very well for some, but I want to add a warning that it can cause severe anxiety. Monitor your symptoms carefully with your doctor."


"Was diagnosed with Gleason 4+3 and had PSA of 10 and have very strong family history of prostate cancer.  I am 53 and brother had cancer at age 39.  Dr. immediately placed me on 150mg bicalutamide in preparation for HIFU procedure.  PSA dropped to 3.3 within 2 weeks.  I also noticed that a fibrous lymph node on my neck shrank noticeably.  After stopping the medication at 3 weeks and undergoing the HIFU procedure, the fibrous lymph node regained it's previous size."


"I don't have as many crying spells as I used to."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Took first part of prep with cold water at 2pm. Worst thing I have ever tasted! It's a salty grape chemical taste (if u have ever accidentally gotten perfume in your mouth it's like that with a salty grape flavor).  Worse than that was the intense chills and shivering I had for over an hour!  That being said it started working in less than an hour, no cramping or pain.  I dread taking the next dose because of the taste."


"I wanted to tell people about Humira. I have been on it 10days with no side effects! My scalp was 95% covered by Psoriasis. I started my first injection March 1st and today my scalp and behind my ears are clearer. The Humira pen is nothing to worry about doesn't hurt. Leave it out 30 mins and inject in your stomach easy as can be! Good luck everyone."


"Started at 17 for MDD & GAD, I'm almost 20 and recently dx'd w BPD now (comorbid w the above).
5mg first week, 10mg 2 years, 20mg 5 months.
First week side effects inc'd but not lim'd to: yawning, sweating (esp night), brain fog, nausea, hypomania, lack of focus. These only came back with cold turkey withdrawals (2 or more missed doses). Brain zaps, muscles seizing up and panic were common for withdrawal for me too.
Lexy helped me minimise/blunt emotional responses and therefore improve cognition (could still cry etc tho), also boosted my mood noticeably but not intensely. This lasted a year before this med completely stopped working at all, eventual 20mg bump did nothing. Gentle first antid.. tapering off now, prob going for SNRI next."


"I have dermatomyositis.  Plaquenil along with quinicrine treated my hand lesions which were very painful.  This took about a year to accomplish.  It's been about a year and a half now and I'm starting to react to one or both of the medications.  I have a rash all over my body and ulcers and lichen planus in my mouth.  I'm seeing my doctor shortly to see about this."


"I feel compelled to post this for all of you considering getting an IUD. When I was considering getting mine, all the horror stories on the Internet made me so scared to get and IUD I backed out of the procedure as soon as I got to the doctor's office twice. I'm 20, and I've never been pregnant, so I thought it was going to be the most painful procedure I could imagine. I just got my liletta today, and having taken ibuprofen and a numbing shot, I felt close to nothing at all during the whole insertion process. Started cramping about 20 minutes later, but nothing nearly as bad as my worst menstrual cramps."


"No problems or side effects."


"I have been using this for just over 2 weeks now and lost 6 pounds. The side effects are there but not really bad%u2026.unless you eat the wrong things! It has helped me already see which food are more fatty than others. I have had no accidents etc but then I know if I go off having a curry/Chinese then yes, I will. I want to loose another 2 stone in 3 months and my doctor is positive I can. Just remember, it%u2019s not a miracle drug you must work with it by cutting down on fatty foods and portions as well as exercising. Good luck."


"I am 32yrs old and opiates have been a battle since my teenage years; back in the 90's I would get the 5MG percosets or 5MG methadone and would love that feel. Eventually that led me to Oxycontin 80's, which led to jail, which led to heroin, which led to OD's, which led to hell and back! Over the last 15 yrs I have battled w/ opiates and have consistently lost! But Suboxone has been a life saver for me; finally a drug which eliminates my urge, my cravings, my EVERYTHING! Methadone never did it for me but Suboxone has always helped and continues to help; I owe this drug my life because without it I would be lost. It's NOT for every one but sure does help many of us who suffered from opiate addiction and is a great tool to get life started!"


"I have been on this shot for almost 3 years now, starting out just to help with abdominal pain and now for use of birth control. I love that I have never had a period let alone spotting, no cramps, nothing. Just recently I have been having terrible headaches that make me nauseous. I have gained at least 15 lbs, which is very depressing, and sex drive...well that's long gone(which seems very odd for a 20 year old). Reading the reviews helped a lot, thank you!"


"I switched BC because I was worried about being on depo for 8 years.  First I switched to the arm implant and delt with the month long bleeding and hormonal changes for almost a year before finally being put on falmina. Yes, I did bleed 7+ days the first placebo week but by the second I was already seeing improvement. Now this also happened to corrolate with me finally conquering my decade long opiate addiction so I'm not sure how much of my mood swings were attributed to that or the BC  but the mood swings were intense. Yes, I got super anxious and depressed but when I found something that made me happy it felt as if the happiness permeated my entire being. Sexually active with my man everyday for a year with no protection, still no baby"


"Started Lunesta after a failed try at Trazadone and Prazosin and some other kinds. I've been taking lunesta as needed for the past year. I'm currently on Adderall and come off it here and there to make sure I can still function without it. So when I go back to taking my adderall, sleep isn't an option. With the lunesta, it shuts my brain off and sleep the whole night. Yes, I have slight metal taste but I fall asleep before I actually notice it. I honestly wake not groggy at all, that's why I love it. But yes, I gotta be careful and not get hooked on taking this stuff and have an dependence."


"I've been on my period since the day I got it (August 27, 2016 ).  With this rod I have been very depressed . It goes from heavy to light then right back to heavy.  I was off my period for 2 days throughout the past 6 months . Would never recommend . :("


"I take Allegra for allergies, but was still having side effects.  Flonase was added to my regime, and now I have no more runny, itchy nose, itchy ears and eyes, or sneezing."


"I'm 39 and my last period was on 12/14/16. My cycle is usually 27 days and always on time. Had unprotected sex once this month on the 17th day of my cycle which shows 2 days after ovulation (Dec 30th 5am). He pulled out. Wasn't sure about taking a MAP but took the "my way" pill anyway on Jan 2nd (lil over 72 hrs) for my own sanity. I've been crampy, clear discharge w/white strings (sorry tmi), gassy, felt slight nausea. EP was yesterday 1/10, so i'm 1 day late. I plan on testing on 1/13. I will post results. I read that it could be up to 48-56 days before I see a period with negative tests.

Paranoid."


"First and last month on this. I did notice mild nausea for a half a day at the start of the pack but that went away quickly. I'm not sure if I've gained any weight but it sure does seem like it. My breasts are wayyyy more tender than they ever have been but the worst thing is the spotting. I've been spotting for the last three days and its so painful. My periods are usually easy and last only a few days. The cramps I've experienced before this pill were mild compared to the cramps brought on my Tri Lo. I was on Yaz when I was 18 and had NO issues with it so I'm going to try switching. The spotting is horrible and I think it's given me a yeast infection or something cause I'm unusually itchy. I'M DONE WITH THIS PILL!!"


"Began feeling ill at work Friday 2/24 with a cough (thought it was post nasal drip) & a stuffy nose. Took a Zyrtec & sudafed with little relief. On Saturday I thought I had a cold & the beginnings of an ear infection so I treated my symptoms with Tylenol, sudafed and Benadryl. By Sunday I couldn't rest with the coughing so I took Delsym and one dose of that thickened the mucus up so bad I gagged whenever I coughed. On Monday I tested positive for the flu and took my 1st dose that night. Within an hour I was gagging again but wasn't sure if it was the congestion or oseltamivir. I sipped on some soup and felt better within a couple of hours. Got my 1st good nights rest since Friday! Btw I was vaccinated :("


"Insertion wasn't bad, some bruising the next 2 days after the insertion. For the first 4 months periods were either non-existent through the month, or very light and lasting 3 days or so. I have now been on my period for 2 months straight. Its very light but extremely annoying. I haven't gained weight but my eating habits have gotten slightly worse in the past 2 months while on my period.
I have also been constantly stressed and tired. I have never had a cold sore until about 3 days ago which could be from stress which I think leads back to the nexplanon. I'm seriously thinking about finding a new birth control/something to regulate my hormones. I especially wouldn't recommend nexplanon if you are content with a different form of birth control"


"I was diagnosed with BV by my ob/gyn and she prescribed me with Metronidazole 500mg twice a day for 7 days. I took the pill and noticed that my discharge lessened but.. My odor was still traveling around but it wasn't as strong. Then as the days went on.. Day 2: I felt dizzy and as like the room was spinning, minor cramps, headache
Day3: nausea, cramps, dizziness, headache, constipation, dry mouth, loss of appetite
Day 4: I was vomiting all night and I decided to stop taking the pills and called my doctor in the morning because the side effects weren't getting any better and my BV didn't seem to be clearing up as much as I wanted it to. She prescribed me metronidazole vaginal 0.75% gel for 5 days. And haven't taken yet, but will be reviewing"


"I've only been taking gabapentin (300 mg x 3 per day) and tramadol (50 mg x 4 per day) for one week.  I don't know which is working or if they are properly working in conjunction with each other, but I have felt some relief so far for pain (a vascular necrosis, osteoarthritis of the hips -- and lumbar L11).  I, too, have noticed positive side effects, such as sleep aid, less anxiety, hope for the future.  I was able to walk a few blocks to the store while only needing to stop a few times.  "


"I've been using this product for about a week now and it's amazing. I cover my forehead and chin with a little of it before I go to bed and it seems to be working pretty well so far. I had about 5-8 pimples before I started using it, and now I have none! I recommend this product. I also use a coat of Differin before I put this on. It's made to reduce inflammation and the swelling of pimples."


"I was put on Vicidin first for my chronic back pain, didn't work then the doctor said to try injections they worked for about a month. Then I got pain so bad I couldn't get out of bed 1/2 the time and my family doctor said he didn't want to give me anything stronger because of seizure medicines I was on. I tried everything for pain, then someone suggested pain management finally a doctor listened. He put me on the Fentanyl patch. I feel like I'm 20 again. I can work, do things I couldn't do before with me kids and grandkids. This patch is a God send. I did experience heavy sweating and vomiting and dozing off till my body became adjusted. Now I still get the nodding off effect occasionally,  and itching where the patch is."


"Plan B one step is a LIFESAVER. My boyfriend and I had un protective sex. So within 4 hours after the incident, I took the pill. I was paranoid as hell, not sure whether this pill would work or not ( my first time taking it and I am also young). I experienced mild cramping , head aches and nausea for five days. But my period came on time ! The key is to stay calm and let the pill do its job."


"I take Celebrex when I'm really in pain with my arthritis, works very well. Scared of the side effects of irregular heart beat as I have a heart murmur. I have had none so far. Really good medication if you're in pain."


"I started this medication because I had to stop taking the oral, which worked wonderful so switched to transdermal. Shortly after starting the patch I had a constant dull headache but thought maybe my body needed to adjust so I continued. On my second week the headache continued and my joints started bothering me and then progressed to body aches, feeling like I had the flu. I also had stomach issues with excessive burping and gas. No energy, emotionally feeling blah. I took the patch off to see if symptoms would improve. Overnight the achy body is gone but still have the mild headache no stomach issues so far. This medicine is not cheap even with insurance and I am now contacting the pharmacy to see if I can return my 90 day supply."


"To tell my experience to you girls would take a whole page.  I do not recommend this birth control to anyone unless the research all the side effects.   I had a miscarriage afterwards my husband and I decided we didn't want anymore children.  We already have 3 kids and 2 miscarriages.  Two weeks after my D & CI asked my dr for the depo shot.  Huge mistake,  I didn't ask for the pill because I had gotten pregnant before on sprintec.  My experience has been horrible acne.  I usually have very good skin.  I have gained 7 pounds and my hair is shedding like crazy.  The worst part is I have been bleeding for 10 weeks.  My dr gave me a pill to stop the bleeding but it hasn't helped.  As soon as I think the spotting is done I get a gush."


"I have been using Clobex spray for nearly 2 years. It is the best so far. My psoriasis is on my scalp, elbows and small spots here  and there on my body.  The Spray is the wonderful, real easy to use for applying to my scalp at odd angels."


"Very good medication for first couple months and then effectiveness reduced and I had to add back in Norco for break through pain because it did not last more than 3 or 4 hours and the max I could take was 4/day.  (100 mg) I did well as far as not feeling tired, it seemed to give me a zip of energy but when it wore off in the 3 or 4 hour, the anxiety was terrible.  I have trouble sleeping and for some reason Nucynta did not seem to aggravate this like Tramadol did. "


"I was really wanting EvaMist to work for me. Seemed so easy, just one spray on my arm every morning. But I have very sensitive skin and after a week and changing arms developed a itchy rash on my arms. May not be recommended for someone with sensitive skin."


"Recently diagnosed with narcolepsy and was given provigal. That did nothing. Given Ritalin and this is doing nothing either. Started at 10mg twice a day. Increased to 30mg twice a day. This is nothing more then a decent cup of coffee. Lasts no longer then an hour. Need better help for my tireness."


"I used the Nuvaring for 3 months before (it was just a sample supply) and I loved it. I was not on insurance at the time and couldn't afford to continue to use it. I have been on the Nuvaring again for about 3 months. I mostly love it. I have gained about 6lbs (from 110 to 116) in that three months. I also gained a cup size and my breasts are CONSTANTLY sore/tender. I also have been experiencing hard/cystic like breakouts mainly on my jaw line but also a few times on my cheeks. They are incredibly painful and don't pop well and just turn into big sores that itch and hurt. I wish that part would go away, because aside from that I LOVE my Nuvaring."


"I have only been on it for three days and I am already debating on whether or not to stop. It makes me feel like I'm drunk without the happy feeling. I hope it gets better because I really need something to help stop my anxiety and panic attacks."


"Type 2. Active mom, 47, work, dance, sing, travel.
1000mg metformin twice a day, readings with Tradjenta between 140-230. Another doctor recommended yesterday to try Glipizide for 30 days, this morning a surprising 104. Feeling well."


"I used Methylin ER for 3 months. I used the equivalent of a 90 days prescription (one 20 mg once a day) for 3 months. I did not use the pill every day due to illnesses and migraines. Who wants to be alert for that? When I did take it, it was a different life for me. I could actually plan what task I would complete that day instead of "watch and wait" as it has always been for me with narcolepsy. I am a stay at home mom with a 3 year old and a 14 year old. In result my house was cleaner, I was more predictable energy wise. I did sleep lighter and occasionally woke up at night. It was not bothersome though, not to stop it. Then the unfortunate happened, I became allergic to it ( I am also allergic to Nuvigil  and Progvigl)."


"I am allergic to a lot of pain meds. This is the only medicine I can take that takes the pain away."


"I had a real bad cough. Coughing so bad had a raw throat and pain in stomach. The pills the doctor prescribed for me was 100mg. l honesty felt better after taking the 3rd pill. So maybe it don't work for everyone but it sure is working for me. So  give it a chance and don't expect it to work well if you are a heavy smoker."


"Have been on it for a month, age 26. Also use Retin-A and Acyanya. Works very well. Very happy with results. No side effects."


"I wish I could give this medication a ZERO. I had been on Ortho Tri-cyclin Lo for 8 years with no side effects. My insurance switched me to Sprintec and I only took it for a week when my entire face broke out which never happens to me, I had horrible head aches and developed an ulcer which I'm not sure is related."


"Have experienced anxiety my whole life along with occasional panic attacks that come and go. I was so excited to try Zoloft after reading all these positive reviews but I only ended up taking one pill and I won't be taking another! It's different for everyone, but for me, I took 25mg at 5pm and the next morning I was nauseous, was pissing out my butthole and couldn't eat for another 12 hours. I woke up again this morning still feeling very sick with diarrhea. I would rather have the stomach flu than ever experience that again. I'm going on the second day without taking it and I'm still not fully recovered from being that sick. I gave it a 3 because other than that, I felt no other side effects except a little tingly the first hour or so."


"Have been taking Ocella for four months now due to polycystic ovarian syndrome. I've been experiencing elevated blood pressure and this is causing some other ill feelings such as nausea and shortness of breath, which immediately triggers anxiety attacks. Surprisingly I feel fine emotionally for the majority of the time.

My breast size has increased, my sex drive is up, my periods are lighter and my skin is clearer. The negative symptoms I have been experiencing have not been frequent, they have only occurred recently. However, the severe elevation in my blood pressure is cause for concern and I may switch next month to a new pill."


"I've only been on Belviq for a few days, but I'm already seeing it work! My appetite is curved and I'm rarely hungry. I've always struggled with never having that "full" feeling and always wanting to eat and eat, but with Belviq, I don't seem to struggle with it anymore.

I've seen some people who don't seem to respond to the medicine, which is unfortunate. However, some advice I have. If you take this medicine with an optimistic attitude, and you're conscience about what you're doing (eating habits), then I think most of the time, you'll be successful. It's not a miracle drug that just melts the weight off. You have to put forth the effort to listen to your mind more and not just your want to eat.

Good luck!!"


"Second time Dr, put me on bydureon. Been on for 6 weeks this time and my sugar level hasn't been below 200 except twice. Lost a few lbs. No side effects. I feel ok but want sugar level back in the 100s when I was taking the another med which was worked great. The only reason I am off that med is because the military switched do to cost (budget). I need to get my A1c check."


"Bentyl has made a world of a difference to me.   I no longer have quick spasms where I have to run to the bathroom.  I can finally live my life without worrying if I will be able to make it to the bathroom or not. Of course, not all of my symptoms are completely gone but I don't think that is possible with IBS."


"Has done wonders for my state of mind. I think it's awesome."


"On Lexapro 14 months now. I almost never want Xanax anymore, and I am sleeping better than I have since I was a teenager (I am 46). Two negative results: sex drive has decreased markedly, and I've had a 10% weight gain. But even with these two factors, I would never consider going back to the person I was before Lexapro."


"My experience on the pill is going okay I'm on my 3rd pack no bleeding, just spotted for a hour I get cramps when it's time for my period to come I notice I became more emotional lately I fee like crying a lot, when someone tells me something I get really sensitive, my boobs get sore and they have gone up in  cup size, I get acne  when it's time for my period but that's it, my hunger has been the same, when it's that time I crave fried foods. I like the pill just wish I wasn't so emotional,  my sex drive it's awesome. Hopefully I will get my a irregular period."


"Considering pretty much nothing has ever worked for me when it comes to stopping cold sores, this is a life saver. If u catch the cold sore in time this pretty much stops it from getting worse when I take 2 grams and 2 grams 12 hours later, than follow up with 1 gram the next day it's already started healing. The only other thing that's every helped is  lysine and that's more preventative so I don't get it. Once you have it though this is the best stuff by far. It's pricey though so you better have insurance."


"I've been using this with doxycycline for about a month and a half and my skin has cleared up completely with the exception of some minor scarring. I put about a pea sized amount on at night and it goes on smoothly and doesn't leave a film or anything like some other topicals. Such a life saver!"


"I have just begun Trileptal as a treatment for Bipolar I. I was previously on Seroquel 150 and was unable to function at all within 45 minutes of taking it. I experience rapid cycling and more manic episodes than depressive ones and so the Seroquel helped me sleep. However, I noticed weight gain almost immediately and immense hunger-almost ravenous. When it would wear off I was extremely hostile and agitated. The side effects seemed to outweigh the benefits. So far Trileptal has left me with no side effects except for a slight headache and I have smoothly transitioned out of my manic episode. I feel like I may need a sleep aid however- still experiencing a bit of insomnia.  I can only hope the success continues!"


"I did have bacterial vaginosis. Doctors were treating me for yeast infection. No one did a culture. They even gave me Metronidazole 4 pills in one shot. I developed sensitivity to it. Clindesse cream was smooth, calmed my symptoms and with only one time application my nightmare was gone."


"Always works well with no side effects."


"I had the 31 recommended injections.  In the first 24 hours, I developed extreme injection site pain.  It felt like electrified acid had been injected into my head and neck.  All the injection sites became extremely itchy and my eye balls were itchy.  48 hours later, my neck and shoulders locked into knots.  At 72 hours (after the weekend), I returned to my doctor.  Doctor said that it was all in my head, even though I couldn't turn my head to look over my shoulder.  He prescribed Benadryl and Aleve.  Benadryl helped the itchiness, but Aleve did nothing for the neck and shoulder pain.  I've tried Motrin, heat, massage and muscle relaxers... nothing has worked.  At 10 days out, I can't hold my head up.  Doctor is sending me to the ER."


"Have only been using Pristiq for two days but it seems more effective with my depression and anxiety issues."


"Not as good as THC but very effective for me. One wants a solution that allows your mind to not constantly be aware of pain. This does the job for me."


"I'm 26, child-less, and cursed with painful, heavy periods. After trying pill after pill, I spent 4 years without birth control. Decided to try Skyla after an OB GYN and friend recommended it.  Not going to lie--- worst pain I've ever felt having this thing put in! The 6 weeks following I bled almost everyday and had little random lightning-storms of bad cramps. After 3-4 months, my period are lighter and my PMS symptoms have improved. I still have bad cramps for a few days each month, but I'm finally glad I got this IUD. Husband doesn't feel it, and it's nice not having to use condoms. On top of that, I think my appetite has decreased - not sure if it's related.

In a nutshell, I recommend it. Just expect an adjustment period of time"


"I have struggled with BED for years. I have been in therapy and tried many different coping mechanisms. I even tried joining Overeaters Anonymous. Nothing worked. I started to see a psychiatrist who tried me on an antidepressant. While I must admit I did have a general sense of feeling better I was still binging. I have been on Vyvanase 30mg for about 6 weeks now. I have not binged in those 6 weeks! At first I did experience headaches, nothing a Tylenol couldn't take care of. The headaches disappeared after a week. I still feel the urge to binge at times but the Vyvanse along with the coping skills puts me back in control. Thanks to this medication I am in control of my binges and my health."


"The good: Implanon was 100% effective, and very convenient. The bad: It killed my desire for sex completely. I gained 30 pounds within two months. I have a history of migraines, usually getting them every couple of months, but during the last six months of having Implanon, I was getting them twice a week, with bizarre symptoms. My migraines would make me feel like my face and entire left side of my body was numb. I would forget words, I would have trouble forming sentences. Sometimes it felt like I was totally disconnected from my body, and that my head was caving in. My doctor sent me to get an MRI, but nothing was wrong, and they diagnosed "complex" migraine. Had Implanon removed 2 months later, and the weird migraines stopped."


"Terrible experience! Before getting married, I decided to go on hormonal birth control. I started taking Minastrin 2 months before our wedding, and lasted for about that 2 months on it. It wreaked havoc on my body and I haven't been the same since. It's been about 1.5 years since then. I had never had cramping with periods or any kind of pms symptoms for that matter, and have always been a very laid back person. As soon as I went on it I became extremely temperamental and felt angry about the slightest things! I also had TERRIBLE periods with clots and cramping. Headaches, loss of appetite, and break outs everywhere. My Doc suggested I try a lower dose, but I was done with HBC. We switched to Fertility Awarness Method and love it!!"


"My son was on Abilify for the past year and he has been tic free.  I am upset because we now are taking him off because his liver enzymes are to high.  I wish this didn't happen because he has been tic free since he started taking it."


"I am taking Zoloft for social anxiety, depression, OCD (27yo F). I have to start out by saying I had TERRIBLE side effects for the 1.5months (nausea, dizziness, migraines, panic attack) to the point where I almost stopped taking the tablet.

I persisted and 7 months on Zoloft has completely changed my life. I have had depression and OCD for years and anxiety had started to take over my life.

After the initial symptoms subsided, I feel like a better, confident and much happier version of former myself. Like many others it's hard to explain what I mean. It's the best thing I've ever done!

Please try to persist!"


"I have been taking 200mg every 10 days for 6 months now. All I can say is what a difference, energy, sex drive, everything you have heard (good is true)."


"Was put on Flagyl 500mg twice a day for one week. Tomorrow morning is my last pill. Had no clue about this antibiotic. 1st pill was taken on an empty stomach and I put the pill on the front of my tongue....big mistake!  Was very aware after that what I had to do...place pill as far back as you can and drink water, fruit punch as fast as you can, on a full stomach!  I constantly feel like I'm car sick, off and on headaches, some anxiety and just an overall disconnected feeling. But.....I have to admit it really works!"


"Prozac has taken my body aches away,  Prevents me from obsessing over what someone else did or said.  Helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and crying.  A lot of the other medications I had an allergic reaction to, or they made me lethargic and gain weight. Problems with short term memory and retaining new information, but that could be my age of 60."


"I had the Mirana IUD put in after I had my 1st son in 2011, after about 1 year of having it I had it taken out because of the cramping and losing so much hair. Then I had my 2nd son June of 2014 and had the skyla put in a couple months later. And almost every month since then I have gotten a yest infection. I have never had problems down there until I got this birth control. About 3 weeks ago I got a severe pelvic infection and in so much pain for the past 3 weeks and antibiotics we not even working! had it removed 3 days ago and it's slowly getting better. I've been having a lot of anxiety, panic attacks and would get depressed but never thought it was fron this birth control till I saw the other comments.I would not recommend it for anyone"


"Good experience, it has worked well for my son for about 2 months now.. For some that say they can no longer afford because of insurance. Some places sell generic for under 10$ a month"


"I have been getting Botox every 4-5 months for a year and a half. I am almost 41 and everyone always guesses me at 34. I love it and have never had a problem with it. I would recommend it for anyone who is healthy with no underlying problems."


"I started taking Yasmin after experiencing low moods on a previous pill.  However, I found Yasmin caused me to experience migraines during the week before my periods and also during the week I was having my period.  I also experienced very low and tearful moods which caused arguments with my boyfriend.  None of these aspects improved after a few months and I then had to change to another birth control pill."


"I have lost a total of 62 lbs & still counting
I have been using saxenda for 8 months
I work out daily to keep my body toned with muscle
The side effects in the beginning were horrible which included vomiting nausea constipation & no energy
After I reached the highest dose it all went away
I feel great & I'm enjoying my results
Hang in there it gets better!"


"Im 64 yrs old.  3rd week at the high does and my lost all my weight in the first 2 weeks of 5 lbs. and have stopped loosing.  Very discouraged now because I need to loose at least 50 more lbs.  I have been doing more aerobic exercises to help the process along."


"I just wanted to start taking this BC because I have a bf. But this pill is giving me all sorts of symptoms.
1. I spot every morning
2. I get really sad and confused or irritated
3. Gas...
4. Acne is taking over my face
5. Worst nausea after I eat anything
6. And occasional headaches.
I am getting off this pill asap..
If you want these symptoms, this is the pill that you are looking for."


"It works really well for panic and anxiety although it seems like if I take enough of it to get rid of the panic feeling, then I feel depressed. I think benzodiazepines do a better job, but it's nice to have a non-addictive alternative."


"Zoloft got rid of my anxiety (I have general anxiety) at 50 mg. At 75 Mg, my tics started improving greatly (lessening). Unfortunately though, Zoloft made me more depressed, in an apathetic way. I suspect it's the decrease in dopamine due to raising my serotonin. Dr is adding Wellbutrin. Maybe I'll get my sex drive back too (which Zoloft also squashed). Overall, for Anxiety, it works very well for me."


"I had been constipated over a week. The last two days were very bad and I had pushed so much I ruptured a hemorrhoid (that I got from pushing etc) and had bleeding. I was completely swollen and sore.  I tried a saline enema and another the next morning. Stool softeners with laxative both days but no help. Mineral oil laxative and again no help. I was nauseated sick and very sore. I was about ready to go to the ER when a pharmacist recommended trying this.  I drunk 8 of the 10 oz. Tasted okay. After the first 8 oz I was too nauseated to finish. After 1 hr it softened enough to push. After another hour I was vomiting but also able to use the bathroom and it was liquid every 15 min for about an hour. Woke up and had more liquid stool but feel great."


"I've been taking Depo for about 15 years and it's never given me any negative symptoms. I went on it very young because I had painful abnormal periods. I haven't had any menstral cycles the whole time, which means no pain. I've never struggled with weight gain. My bones are healthy and strong, in fact I've never had a broken bone in my entire life. It's highly effective as a birth control and I am very happy with it."


"My son's doctor added this to Duac.  It cleared everything up.  My son had trouble spreading the Duac (fine motor problems) and what the Duac didn't reach, the Doryx did."


"Woke up the second day with an annoying headache and then came agitation, mood swings, depression and bouts of crying for no reason, my life was very stable yesterday beside pneumonia and I am a very happy person.... this medication is dangerous!!!"


"I am 17 and was on it for half a year and never had a period. I got off it in January and still today have no period and its been 10 months. "


"I am a male, 66 years old. Suffering from IBS/SIBO  for 20 plus years. Check out SIBO on google. Side effects for this medicine give me extreme headaches. I have started using my old standby Peppermint Plus with no LSD affects. I also take peppermint tea with ginger powder."


"I have been taking gabatin for relief of fibromyalgia for two and a half years. At first the medication worked tremendously well. However in the beginning it relieved my migraines but now my migraines are back so badly and are so much worse than ever before. I also have horrible vision now cannot sleep and my depression is severe. I go back to my neurologist on May the 11th and I am going to insist that he changed my medication and get me off this gabapentin as it is not effective anymore. I believe from experience long term use is not a great idea!"


"I've been taking Generess Fe for a few months now and I haven't had any side effects! It's been working pretty good because my periods are lighter than before and last about 3 days. The only thing I've noticed is that I have cramps now before my period which I didn't have before. After hearing all these scary comments about Generess I was scared to even give it a try, but I'm glad I did because it's been working! Also, If you don't have insurance this medicine is pretty expensive so I'd check into that if not."


"Have taken this with my other medicines prescribed. It actually works and if taken for a long time you need not just stop, you have to be weaned off."


"Lovastatin didn't work for me. I changed to Crestor and result was a miracle for me (from 275 to 187), that's what I needed for a long time."


"I was put on this pill about a year and a half ago because I had a large ovarian cyst that had ruptured.  The main reason I was on it was to prevent any more cyst from happening but I also suffered from intense and painful periods.  I noticed I was gaining weight so I started watching what I  was eating and how much I was exercising. It didn't seem to help though and I still continue to gain weight despite eating far fewer calories than I should be. Today I went in for my one year appointment  and was shocked to find that my weight has gone up another 10 pounds in the past three months. When I spoke to my doctor he said that the reason it was happening was because of my  medicine and immediately apologized. Because I ended  up gaining 25 pounds in a year he switching me to a different one. However this pill did prevent me from getting other cysts and made my periods much lighter and less painful.  Not everyone gains as much weight as I did but I also might have a thyroid problem so I'm not entirely sure how much of it was the pills fault. Overall I'm glad that the pill helped keep me safe as long as it did and I'm not very upset at the overall result."


"Primidone is very effective.  I was on Inderal LA 120mg - take 2 once a day.  Then it stopped working.  They added Primidone 50mg, take 2 three times daily.  The combination works best.  My tremors are very difficult to deal with.  They got so bad as to interfere with normal everyday things.  "


"Girls before you read this, TAKE A BREATH! I My boyfriend and I had what we thought was protected sex on November 29th, however after he finished inside of me, he noticed that the condom had broken. We immediately rushed to the nearest CVS and bought plan B and I took it within about 25 minutes of the incident. For the next few days, I felt so awful- I experienced headaches, anxiety (not caused my the pill, simply my own anxiety), and exhaustion. I wasn't quite sure where I was in my cycle since it is only 23 days long, but I assumed that I had just ovulated the day before the accident and I wasn't sure if the egg was still fertile. But after a lot of sleepless nights I am happy to say that I got my period on its scheduled day, November 8th"


"Have been taking this for only about 3 days. Seems to take away most of the pain. Works better than anything else has for me. I've tried Vicodin, Percocet, and naproxen tablets. This works better than any."


"My son is 14 and has always been super sensitive to these meds- he was diagnosed at 6 ADHD. We started with concerta- he lost 11 lbs in 5 weeks. We switched to a slow release methylphenidate.  At Christmas, it was felt that maybe he needed something different- his last increase didn't seem to be helping. That's when we started vyvanse. I have seriously mixed feelings about this drug. There is some control of the hyperactivity component but he's grouchier, more argumentative and not really more productive. Is it age and adolescence?"


"This is terrible, honestly. I was on ortho tri cyclen but then my pharmacy told me I ran out of refills. Ever since I was put on this I have gained 10 lbs in 3 months (which I haven't gained/loss more than 3 lbs in over 5 years). My moodiness has caused me to start fights with my boyfriend like crazy and I feel awful almost 24/7 even though I'm on Prozac as well. The only thing that works is the actual birth control part."


"At first I was so excited, I though I was going to be free for 3 years, man was I wrong! I got it inserted about 3 months ago and this has been some of the worst times in my life. I've had extreme depression, anxiety, paranoia, I no longer trust my boyfriend, I've been having suicidal thoughts, some days I can't get out of bed, I feel insane, I'm not myself, l became very antisocial. Unfortunately I have to wait till June 6th to get it out and I don't know what I'm going to do in that time..."


"I have been very grouchy and miserable since I started taking Savella."


"I was on this drug for a long time and the only thing I can report is that I felt like a zombie most of the time, was so tired that I could barely function ( lost my job as a result of it ), and had absolutely no desire for sex whatsoever. I rarely felt that I was thoroughly enjoying anything that was going on in my life, it completely numbed me out to a traumatic experience that I should have been dealing with and as a result of being on it I did not fully process that experience until getting off of the medication... That and the withdrawal symptoms were debilitating, and terrible. Brain zaps are not a fun experience and they were bad with this one."


"When me and my husband have an accident (which was like only 2 times) I took this pill right away and it worked. Well the third time, it didn't work so well. I am now almost 23 weeks pregnant, not planned but more of a surprise. I guess it was meant to be but we wanted to wait at least another year to start our own family."


"I am a 50-year-old woman who has lost 28 pounds after being on phentermine at the low dose (15 mg) for four months. About 3 weeks ago, I switched from daily dosing to every-other-day to wean off, and am continuing to lose about a pound a week. I think the main benefit of this medication is that it makes it much easier to eat healthy, and -- more important -- get into a *routine* for eating healthy. I have made some significant lifestyle changes over the past four months which I hope are now permanent. I stay between 1300 and 1400 calories a day, eat very small meals and lots of snacks including lots of healthy fats, drink very little alcohol and try not to eat anything at all after 6:00 p.m."


"I have been on Trinessa for a month and so far everything has been great! I have no mood swings and don't get hungry like crazy. I'm eating the same like I normally do. I have not had any bad side effects, only thing is that my breasts have been so sore ever since I started taking it. But other than that, it is working well for me. And it is also clearing up my face! Before I started taking it, I read reviews and freaked out but I gave it a try and it worked wonderful for my body."


"This pill ruined my life. Before taking this, I had very mild acne. 2 weeks into the first pack and my skin was so bad I wouldn’t leave my house. I’d never experienced anything like it before. My mood swings were crazy, I’d cry constantly for NO reason! I became extremely depressed and I had a very short temper. It killed my energy, made me fat. Oh, and my hair fell out and I got terrible Melasma on my upper lip & nose (which still hasn’t gone away...) My doc told me to stick it out for 3 months.. I hoped for the best but on month 5 I had to call it quits. Been off of it for 6 months now and my skin & mood have slightly improved but I’m still trying to undo the terrible effects caused by this pill. My skin & hair haven’t been the same since"


"I'm a 24 y/o female that had been dealing with mild acne four about a decade (rarely cystic). I've been on Accutane for about a month and a half and my face is almost perfect. It's done wonders for my confidence - I can even go out without makeup now. The only side effect I have is severely chapped lips (like, SEVERELY) - BUT - the risk far outweighs the results. I have recommended this medication to so many people."


"Have been on this for four weeks.  First two weeks 1 gram daily then twice per week.  Just a few days after starting breasts felt full and tender like I was breastfeeding, gained up to 4 lbs.  Did the trick for relations with husband.

I'll be deciding if it's worth it ( physical effects and possible cancer of uterus) when I go back for a follow up visit this week."


"Works great for easing withdrawl symptoms of just about anything. But did not work for my anxiety as it gave me fairly awful side effects, (excessive sweating and horrible nightmares) and I don't often experience any side effects on any medicine. I've since had my doc look elsewhere."


"Improved breathing 50% the frist time I used it."


"I am currently taking it for intense migranes. It is the only thing that I have found that has helped. I do have breakthrough migraines but the medication does keep the majority of them at bay. I do get many of the side effects. I get the tingling in the hands and feet. I occasionally get tingling on my tongue and a weird burning/taste when I drink soda. I get a slight dizziness when I first take it. I am more sensitive to cold and I get diarrhea. All of these side effects I can either live with or treat and are worth the freedom of the migraines. If you live with migraines everyday your willing to put up with a lot of side effects just to be pain free for a while. This medication is totally worth it."


"I used this to treat bronchitis and whooping cough! I felt much better after just taking it for a couple of days. After the 7th day on it I have EXTREME vaginal itching."


"Works wonderful for insomnia. Just the side effects are terrible. Headaches, drowsiness and WEIGHT GAIN!"


"I've ben on and off of phentermine for about two years. I've lost 40 pounds before my wedding. I would take it in the morning and eat something light and it was amazing. I would recommend it to anyone. It did have some side effects. I was very jittery and I had a lot of energy which caused me not to sleep. But other than that it was good."


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


"I see many comments about the cost. Google Myrbetric copay assistance and you can get the first script free (By The Way a 90 day works for the first script free) after that it will cover up to the first $50. You simply fill out the form and print the card then bring to your pharmacy. Unfortunately you can't use with government insurance."


"Not only did Soma relieve pain, and muscle spasms,it allowed be to get my first full nights sleep in weeks."


"I've tried the patch, the shot, Ortho Cyclen Lo and now currently on Nora Be. I gained 30lbs while being on the shot and couldn't lose the weight until I tried Ortho Cyclen, which gave me extreme nausea so I wasn't able to keep any food down which caused me to lose the weight so yay but it was awful at the same time. I drop down to 110lbs after stopping Ortho Tricyclen Lo and now while being on Nora Be I only have gain 5 pounds but that's from the holidays. Very satisfied with this product that I'm taking it for the second year. "


"Didn't improve any symptoms.

Side Effects:
1.	It was messing up my stomach and starting to cause problems with my acid reflux
2.	I had several episodes of feeling really anxious and my heart would race – on the verge of panic attack, maybe?
3.	Very slight fear of the dark"


"This contraceptive was very effective I've had it since April 2014. I am getting it taken out a few months early due to the mood swings. I've always had them but now its getting to a point where everyone is a enemy and I'm always angry. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't exist in this life. Overall, I  did not get pregnant, but I will not take a chance on taking this if you want to have depression and anxiety like I do. So ready to be back to my normal self. The weight gain is ridiculous gained about 20 pounds. Period comes on about every 3 months when it does its heavy for a long period of time."


"This will be the 6th month I've been on Estarylla, but I'm going to stop taking it & find another birth control. Although it's done its job with preventing pregnancy, this certain pill makes me much more emotionally unstable. Before taking it I was a social & overall happy person but now I get upset over the most insignificant things, push people away, feel anxious/sad more often than I'm happy. :( It's even affected my relationship with my boyfriend bc he thinks I'm always sad around him but it's just this dang pill messing with my emotions! I know medications affect people differently, but from seeing the other reviews just be warned that this pill can increase depression, mood swings, anxiety, etc."


"I suffer from complicated grief and PTSD, I lost my only child to severe mental illness almost six years ago. My anxiety is through the roof right now.  Psychiatrist prescribed Ativan but it does nothing really (.5 MG) compared to Alprazolam (generic for Xanax).  Even splitting a .5 MG pill helps me to stop frantic behaviors.  But this stuff is addictive, you have to be careful never to go over prescribed daily dose and I don't know how difficult it will be to stop this medication, if I ever decide to do that."


"I've used Lovaza for about 8 months and triglycerides are now 900, before it was 3000. My family, sister and father have very high triglycerides. This is the only drug that has ever worked for me and I've used them all. I got my sister to tell her Doctor about it and he put her on Omacor, hers went from 1000 to 250 in 3 months. I just wonder how common this illness is. "


"I used to take a high dosage time release tablet of another drug. If I took it when I woke up, say 8 o'clock, I would inevitably go through an anxious and depressing period everyday around 5pm. My psychiatrist prescribed me Adderall Xr and Adderall to see if I wouldn't go through this down period. I am so much happier now. Adderall permits me to be focused, less impulsive, and organized while lessening up the side effects, which I got with the other drug. I have an appetite, but am not an impulsive eater. "


"I started phentermine in 2015 weighing in at 300lbs. Within 2 weeks I was down 13lbs but one of the horrible side effects was insomnia. I decided to step up my workout regimen and take only a half of pill and ended up losing  a total of 45lbs in less than 5 months. Once losing the weight, I got pregnant and gained it all back so now I'm taking it again in hopes of getting the weight off a second time. I suggest drinking a LOT of water and working out that will make the weight come off faster. Although this pill was effective for me, I suggest talking to your doctor first."


"I bought a squeeze bottle 2 days ago and used it twice before the bottle opened at the seam and leaked all the solution everywhere. This is no longer a quality product and I will be using alternatives."


"I had a not-so-great experience. I used to take Miralax, but it caused me problems and I was taken off it. Within 2 days I was constipated again, and Dulcolax was prescribed. It was prescribed by my doctor, 2 pills were taken 6-8pm for 4 nights, as instructed.

I suffered, to say the least. Horrible cramps that came and went, and the first time I had a BM I thought I was about to die. I was constantly within 15 feet of a bathroom and often got hungry (due to being emptied out, I suppose), but felt rather sick and couldn't eat much. Whenever I ate, I often had to go a few hours afterwards, and the cramps persisted.

Effective? Yes. Gentle? No way. It worked, but if you're going to use it, clear out your schedule in case of side effects."


"As most of these other people who have posted stated, it's no secret how bad this medicine tastes. Although I can attest to a few of the symptoms after taking it, they haven't been so severe that they affected my appetite or sleep pattern. I've come very close to wanting to throw up because of gagging on the pills. I've taken them most effectively without the nasty taste by saturating them in oil (vegetable, olive, etc.). They go down effortless and with no taste. I don't have time for all of the other disguises for this medicine! Lol I think many of you will maybe want to thank me later after this suggestion.  Good luck!"


"I have been taking this medication for almost a week, and I noticed immediately that the hunger decreased. I find myself hardly hungry, and when I do eat, I notice that I am full alot quicker. So full to the point of getting sick with another bite. Lunch time seems the meal where I can eat the most, but still that is hardly anything. "


"Does absolutely nothing. I might as well have taken nothing at all. Was taking Generic L"


"It's like my vagina was a good little catholic who played around with Monistat 7 and became possessed by Lucifer Himself.

I do have one tip.  If you get the itchy fire ants from hell reaction,  try lying in bed on a towel,  naked from the waist down and just opening your legs.  The air helps to soothe it.  Don't take a bath or you'll remove the only thing that's curing the infection.

Also,  as much as the side effects make scratch my own vajayjay with fork sound like a sweet relief.... The medication itself does work.  So stick with it because it doesn't feel like this by day 7."


"Left me with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction.. a year and a half passed by without significant improvement. I had been using 75 mg for less than a year.

I recommend you to never take a SSRI."


"I had this inserted after my fourth child during my six week check up, I had bruising at insertion site, and discomfort throughout the entire time in my left arm. I've normally stayed the same weight throughout my pregnancies and after I usually lost the weight within few months. My periods before implant were always heavy and wk long....after implant they were inconsistent , spotting and then completely disappeared. I have suffered hair loss I, gained 60lbs from this implant !!!60 pounds it's horrible I am so upset I weigh more more than I at my 9month preg weigh in! Tried several diets....had it from Aug 2013-oct2016 horrible horrible if I had connected the dots sooner I would've taken it out earlier.please dont do it.use condoms or abstain"


"So I posted on here on my 6th day on adipex,  so here it is almost three months on adipex , I'm still on my 1000 calorie diet and working out , started the c25k app a few weeks ago , I started out at 180 pounds my weight now is 145 lbs , I am starting to worry that my weight loss will stop after I take my last pill but I'm hoping for the best ,adipex still seems to be doing the job , I'll keep u posted :-)"


"I had the implant put in a year ago. Everything was fine that day my boyfriend an I were joking around having an awesome day and a few days after that he says something in me clicked. I was lost, depressed, no sex drive at all, I would pick fights, was even suicidal. Nothing in my life had changed. My hair started thinning. I had long luscious beautiful hair. Had to chop it off. Had it removed only after a month. I couldn't take it anymore. After a year now of having it out. My mood has elevated, sex drive not so much an my hair is still pretty thin. This was a terrible experience. I will no longer be a lab rat for these companies pumping artificial hormones in my body."


"I quit on day 3 of chantix 4 years ago, was dumb and started smoking again a year later!! :9  This time around, I am on week 2 and every time I take a dose I get dizzy and want to puke. Oddly, my teeth hurt the other day? I am noticing that I can only take a puff or 2 before the nausea really gets bad (constantly nauseas for hours after dose) and i cant even finish a smoke, so that's good? I smell cigarette smoke now, it smells stale and awful. I have gotten a little more aggressive but I think that it is more irritation than anything but, I think its because I want to puke all the time! BUT I am constantly hungry....yet, cant eat!!"


"26 y/o female who was diagnosed with ADHD at 15. My parents chose not to treat it with medication. As an adult in college- I got made fun of in good humor by friends about how much I studied. I couldn't concentrate, remember, mind wander and jump to something else & hyper. Tried Adderall instant and XR. My husband said both made me mean and irritable. Plus I lost 10 pounds before our wedding (already underweight). It increased my anxiety, I hated it. My psychiatrist switched me to Vyvanse 30mg. Wow! No mood swings, no appetite changes, can concentrate, less anxiety because it evens me out.  I feel alive and normal!"


"I took 1/2 of 150 mg Oleptro for 4 days and had the worst experience of my life. After the first dose, I slept for 19 hours and still woke feeling heavily medicated. After two cups of coffee and a meal, was able to stay awake for five hours but was not totally coherent. Took another 1/2 pill at bedtime and slept without waking until 10:00 the next morning. During all of this "rest" I had the strangest dreams. Not nightmares, but they left me feeling bad and confused. I was able to stay awake and plant flowers, but still felt drugged. I also had an overwhelming feeling of sadness that brought me to tears. Monday morning, I woke up vomiting with severe stomach pains. My vision became more blurred with each day. I have been out of work for a week. "


"I was taking Pristiq for 3 weeks and it was working well.  After six weeks I started experiencing extreme agitation and severe headaches where I could not function.  "


"So I always get YI and normally I just get the pill but this time I decided to use Monistat 7. Well the 1st and 2nd night were HORRIBLE!! The itch on the inside was driving me completely INSANE!  I just used it for the 3rd night in a row and the itching isn't as severe, but tonight is the first night it started burning! I've heard after the 3rd use of monistat, the YI starts to go away... sure hope that's true. Not sure how much more of this I can take!!"


"I had implanon but in twice, so for six years, with no problems but crazy irregular periods. Got my nexplanon implanted in Aug 2015 and have had a period almost since with a weight gain of 25 pounds. Have not enjoyed the nexplanon one bit other than I'm not pregnant, but how could I be if I can't have sex cause I'm always bleeding. Currently I am sitting in the office waiting for them to remove here in about 5 minutes, can't wait!!"


"DO NOT GET THIS IMPLANT!
I was on my menstrual for about the usual time, almost a week, when I got my implant. The day getting it, I stopped menstruating for the day and fallowing day. Then to my surprise, I started again and it went on for two months straight. Not to mention the MOST PAINFUL cramps I have ever had in my life. When the horror stopped, I was free from pain and bleeding for only two weeks before the nightmare continued. Currently, I am scheduling my removal Immediately. And I am having those horrid cramps again.

By the way, the removal is horrible."


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


"Not too bad. Definitely not as bad as these reviews. It burned and itches like crazy for about 30 minutes but cooled down after, enough for me to sleep. I'm doing the 3 day and I'm going to stick with it. Don't let all the bad reviews scare you. After the first 30minutes it's a mild annoyance, but definitely bearable."


"I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for a few weeks now and I have been breaking out and I usually have great skin.  I usually sleep a good 8-9 hours a night and now I'm having A LOT of trouble sleeping and I wake up without being able to fall back to sleep after 3-5 hours. I have felt very nauseous and I have even thrown up a few times. I will be switching to something else very soon."


"Awesome! Best thing I ever used on my cystic acne. Bought OTC Differin about a month ago and I haven't had a cyst since, which is unheard of for me. For the first time in years my complexion is smoother, skin is clear, and pores look smaller. Some dryness and redness at first, but subsided. Love this stuff!"


"I started on Lexapro which worked at first for me, then a month later made me feel like a zombie because I was so drowsy so my doctor started me on 200mg of Wellbutrin a day. The first few days were fine and then after about a week the crazy suicidal thoughts started. Then came the mood swings and short fuze. After 2 weeks of this medication I couldnt stand anyone around me or even myself. I didnt want to be talked to or even looked at I felt depressed, life wasn't worth anything. So, my doctor changed me to Prozac 20mg and so far seems to be a good fit."


"The only medication that controls my blood press all the time, even when in a stressful situation. Still have to take a diuretic. No hot flashes or ear draining."


"My 3-yr old had severe, rare behavioral side effects to all the other asthma controller meds; they changed him from a shy, sweet boy into an angry and aggressive one. With Alvesco he is a LOT more himself and only slightly angrier and energetic. I recommend trying this medicine to see if it works better for you, too. It has kept our child out of the hospital and we are thankful for that."


"1st day on Abilify seemed like I had energy. 2-3 days later insomnia set in big time. Even tried taking 2 Lunesta...didn't work.  2 weeks later, I was in the ER from side effects. Tremors, not comfortable in my own skin, slurred speech, couldn't focus or concentrate.  Spouse thought I'd had a stroke.  They gave me Ativan and Benadryl.  I got a new Psychiatrist after that. Just starting on Lithium now.  We'll see."


"One 5ml dose of Hydromet had me nauseous and vomiting for around 8 hours. It killed my cough while also killing me. The end."


"Have been taking this for two weeks. My children and husband can tell what a difference it has made, though I have been much harder to wake up in the morning.  That is the reason I rated it a 9. I do sleep better, focus better, but one issue, I am having trouble remembering what I have done in the evenings after I take my medication."

"My mother is on a dose of 21 mg NAMENDA XR and I think it is making her symptoms worse. She is very medication sensitive and I see her CHI as more depressed, forgetful, worrisome and confused.  I will be discussing as always with her doctor But I feel she needs to be removed from this medicine. Plus on a side note it is nearly impossible to get this medicine, although that has nothing to do with her taking the medication."


"Didn't like it, but it did work. I felt like it brought out the worst in me. I got mad pretty easy, and had some weird thoughts. Deep thoughts that I would not normally think of. I took bupropion for 11 days and just could not keep feeling like I was and quit it. I guess you have to give up something to quit and I gave my mind for a little."


"I have been on Depo-Provera for about 4 weeks. Started spotting a pink color. Then my period came a week late. I've been bleeding over a week as of now. Next shot isn't until next month. Cramps used to be severe but now I barely feel them. Appetite has changed. Mood swings all the time and constantly feel nauseous."


"I'm on day 9 on Alesse so far, not very far into it yet but so far I really like Alesse. I was so badly traumatized from my first birth control experience as a teen it scared me to go on birth control again. Yasmin was really bad for depression and weight gain I didn't like it. Now I am married with children and wanted to try something else again, Alesse is low dose so I figured maybe it might be different this time , it's way better! My mental health is extremely important, I feel a little tired on this pill but only minor, I will update again to see how it continues, so far so great."


"Starting taking Valium for nightmares.  Yes, it stopped the nightmares, but the next morning was the first time I didn't wake up with a headache in 36 years.  I clench my teeth at night, so they pulled ALL my top teeth out and all but 9 bottom teeth out 12 years ago.  I still woke up with a headache every day.  Now, to learn that all I needed was a little Valium for 36 years!  I have 9 teeth left! The Valium works wonders, take my word for it."
