"I am taking metformin to control my PCOS. It works really well. The pill is medium sized and doesn't upset my stomach if I take it with food."


"Have had Meniere's for 14 months and Diazepam is the only medicine that can short-circuit the awful vertigo attacks.  I NEVER leave my home without at least one 5 mg pill on me."


"I was prescribed this drug for ocd, depression, and anxiety.  I couldn't take it for longer than 2 days.  It did not help me with anxiety or depression only made it worse.  If you take this drug and it makes you feel awful you're not the only one."


"The side effects of the medicine made me to opt out of taking the 2nd injection. Severe bone pain in the legs, back and hip along with a bladder infection causing me to be on antibiotics for months left me feeling very poorly.  I also experienced change in bowel habits as well as loss of appetite.  Twenty eight pounds were lost very quickly."


"This medicine is good for me, because it's not to strong, and controls my pain to a comfortable degree."


"I had been on Beyaz for 4 years before this pill until my health insurance changed and could no longer cover it. The pros and cons are about half and half for me for Loestrin. I did gain weight on this...about 7 pounds, of course all around the love handle/lower stomach/thigh area. My acne is WAY worse. However, aside from those 2 negatives I like this pill more than Beyaz because I definitely have a better mood, more energy, and a higher sex drive/wetness. My periods are also lighter and shorter."


"Just started this and like it so far. I keep waking up with morning wood and my erections are harder then normal. Urine flow is slightly better and bathroom trips are less."


"This drug saved my little brother's life."


"Caused drowsiness and mental sluggishness. "


"I started this medicine about a week ago. Ever since then I have been fatigued, dizzy, nauseous, having migraines, sensitive to light, and haven't been able to concentrate. I was taking 2 a day but I felt so horrible I bumped myself down to only one a day. My abscess has burst but I still feel weak and very sore."


"Only been taking it for a week, but have noticed my mood stabilize. Experiencing, some of the side effects listed like muscle spasms, back pain, blurred vision, and difficulty moving my eyes at times."


"This medication has managed my diarrhea attacks very well but the stomach discomfort that I experience when taking it is starting to make me consider discontinuing it.  Hoping some of you have suggestions."


"I had started acne on my chin and my forehead and nothing worked ! I was really confused because I always take some much time prepping my skin but this product made my acne leave ! I do have a little more oily skin now because of it making my skin dry but that doesn't bother me"

"I was diagnosed with HIV 06/2017. Viral load was 1500 with 472 CD4. I began taking Genvoya immediately. Just got my new lab results and my viral load is less than 20. I stop smoking cigarettes. I stopped drinking hard liquor. I started eating better and exercising more. I take a one a day multivitamin. Genvoya is the truth but you have to assist this medicine in the fight against the virus. I am happy to be living proof of to this medications success."


"What a wonderful drug vraylar is. I feel normal again and am having no side effects."


"I've been on this medication for about 6 months now. I really love it. The first period i had on this pill was pretty rough. Like crazy heavy with lots of clots/tissue. But that was a one time thing. Then I would spot for two weeks at a time and that got annoying. But Now my periods are very light and last only a few days but still with same period symptoms. So far no weight gain at all but my breasts have gotten huge! I was an A cup and now I'm a C. My skin is also very clear! I don't really have any complaints!"


"I had the nexplanon implant inserted in January and for a couple of months it was great. I didn't have any bleeding or cramps for about the first 2/3 months. Then I started having my period and it would last around 3 weeks. The first time this happened, I was annoyed but I thought maybe it was just a one off thing. Then about a month later, my period started again and lasted for 3 more weeks. I've called my doctor and they say it's nothing to worry about, but it's incredibly annoying to be on your period for more than a week. I've spent more time in the last 5 months on my period than off it. My doctor has recommended I try a birth control pill to regulate my periods, but I wouldn't recommend nexplanon. It's not worth the hassle."


"I had a bad cold with sore throat and annoying cough. I was waking up coughing and miserable. After taking Norco 5 mg with acetaminophen 325 mg. I no longer had the sore throat or the cough. I could rest comfortably. I continued to take the Norco until I felt better. The Norco made a huge difference. I do not see why anyone needs to suffer when there is a solution for a short term issue."


"I also have been resistant to many of the drugs that  Doctors prescribed.  I have also paid dearly for some of the side effects.  I only speak for myself, this drug has been a miracle for me."


"At 19 I went on Sertraline as I'd struggled with varying levels of anxiety throughout my teens. About a year later I tapered and came off for about 6 months. Then, completely out of the blue, I felt almost an electric shock in bed one night and spiralled into the most awful depression and panic imaginable. After the Sertraline failed to work I was on the verge of admitting myself to a psych ward. It was truly the most painful experience imaginable. My GP prescribed Mirtazapine as an attempt to pull me back into balance, and I can honestly say that in about 2 weeks I had recovered. I cannot speak of the difference it made. Utterly unbelievable. The best benefit was its sleep inducing effects, as I'd always stay up all night in panic."


"You might be looking at this review page to reassure yourself. Well let me just say it worked perfectly well for me. I took this pill after about 2 hours. I took the pill for reassurance for me. We didn't completely full on have unprotected sex. Things just got carried away and he had been inside me for no longer than 1 minute. No ejaculation. No nothing. But of course, me being a paranoid person, I just have to make sure nothing would happen. Took it and noticed that within an hour or so I felt achy and tired. Let me add that this all happened just a couple days before I was expecting my period. Couple days go by and I received my period today! I probably didn't need it but it helped calm my nerves."


"Great experience going from abilify to rexulti although abilify did me a tad better."


"I love this birth control. I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday, I don't have to worry about missing a dose. This birth control is so convienet an effective. I've had it for over a year now. The only negative is that I spot very lightly at least once a month for a few days but nothing unbearable. Other then spotting no side effects for me :) but everyone is different. The placement is a bit freighting. I'm terrified of needles but this was not bad. They numbed the area with lidocaine first so I couldn't feel the big needle in my arm. I highly recommend this."


"I have been taking Dextroamphetamines and/or Dexadrine since 1993 when I was first diagnosed with narcolepsy. The main side effect for me Is dry mouth and talking to much. If I take the medicine within 8 hours of bedtime, I may have slight problems going to sleep because I'm still thinking too much. Other than that, I'm as far away from insomnia as I can be. I have done 2 sleep studies while taking this medicine and I still go to stage 4 sleep in less than a minute, at will. Before this medicine, I was never able to drive more than 30 minutes, I couldn't go out to peoples homes, or watch TV, or go to the movies. Even when I played in a rock band I was falling asleep during practice. This is a miracle drug for me."


"I have been on this med for a year now and at first i felt It helped a lot but over the last few months I have been extremely depressed and suicidal so my doctor is adding another medication (that I have not started yet). The only thing I can say I noticed about sertraline is it really helped my anxiety. When I first started taking it I got horrible side effects that had me stuck in bed. I had the spins all day, awful headaches, was vomiting daily and got really tingly hands and legs that caused me not to be able to sleep. Once I got past these side effects my anxiety has improved, though not my depression."


"This medicine works the best of all the benzodiazepines for me. It has completely wiped out my anxiety and has zero side effects at my prescribed dose (2.5mgs a day total). The only problem with it and all benzos is that it is very hard to come off of once you have been on it for awhile. I don't think enough doctors stress the dependence factor of this medicine (it is very difficult to withdraw from, you need to decrease your dose very slowly over a long period of time), so educate yourself if it is prescribed to you and use the lowest effective dose. The pros outweigh the cons for me by far though."


"Prilosec has always worked for me since I went off Nexium but I recently tried the flavored one and I can no longer take just one pill a day to keep the burning away....so off to the store today to get my regular Prilosec since I have finally finished the flavored box. No more of the flavored one for me."


"I have had psoriasis for 30 years. Last year, Fumaderm successfully cleared my psoriasis but unfortunately it lowered my while blood cell count so I had to come off it.  The dermatologist suggested Otezla. I was on it for three months and during this time my psoriasis has flared up and it was never as bad as it is now.  I have it on my arms for the first time and I am devastated that I cant wear short sleeves.  I had got used to being able to wear skirts and shorts.  My skin is sore and itchy.  We are all unique and different and I am very happy for those that saw an improvement. For me it was a flop. The side affects were bearable and were just headaches and sleeplessness."


"Have suffered with performance anxiety and panic attacks for years. Most of the time I use diazepam (Valium) to calm me down, but at times when I need to use my brain eg. interviews, public speaking, etc. I use propranolol. 10-20mg one hour before any event stops any anxiety symptoms, very good and would recommend."


"This is the best sleeping pill I've ever tried. 30 years now, and still no tolerance issues. I wake up refreshed,  no hangover, unlike all the other sleeping pills, as temazepam is very mild, yet it keeps you asleep.  I take 15 or 30 mg, depending how I feel.  I have tried Halcion and Dalmane, which weren't very effective.  I also tried Ambien in the mid 90s and had horrible sleepwalking episodes.  This has never happened with Restoril."


"I'v used Dovonex for about 20 years, I LOVE IT! It has never made the Psoriasis go completely away. It did come close though.
Maybe if I could afford to use it as prescribed it would , but @ $238.00 a tube the cheapest around my area; I just can't afford it.
I stretch a tube till it's just keeping the take over at bay instead of driving it away!
Dovonex truly works wonders."


"Male, mid 30s, depression for ~10 yrs. Was on Cymbalta 60 mg QD for 2yrs, wasn't working, depressed, so up'ed to 90 mg QD. Didn't work, had typical side effects. Cross tapered to Brintellix over 3wk period achieving 10 mg QD dose. Felt good for 2wks - more energy, sharper mentally, but very angry and irritable. Then all "good" effects ceased; all I felt was continual anger and irritation, which worsened every day for 3wks. Put on 12lbs/1mo while being on Brintellix. Stopped 10 mg dose cold turkey for 1wk, just started on Fetzima. Can't tell if Brintellix withdrawal or Fetzima, but now having sexual AEs, namely near spontaneous ejaculation without being erect or stimulated - any other men have this with either drug?"


"When my doctor asked me how I felt my Paxil 20mg was working (after being in Wellbutrin unsuccessfully for two  years) I could only explain it as "someone finally washed both sides of the windows". Other medicines (Zoloft) helped with some anxiety but left me still depressed. Still others (Celexa) helped with the depression but the anxiety was left uncontrolled. I finally feel like I am back on track to take control of my life. I am pretty sure some dosage adjustments still need to be done, but I am amazed at the past four months on Paxil and what a difference it has made. The minor OCD I was experiencing is gone, the anxiety is a minimum and the depression no longer rules every day. I wish I would have done this for myself and my family years ago."


"I have had the mirena for about 1 and 1/2 years now. I bleed more days than not. I have weird pains I have never had until this was inserted. My hip hurts during ovulation and during my cycle. My bleeding is down to a light tampon amount which is a big change. I could go thru a super plus sometimes in 20 minutes. Overall it has helped make it lighter but it lasts a lot longer. Not sure if it is worth it or just find out the reason your periods are so out of control."

"After having my 1st child four years ago this will be the 1st time I've ever been on birth control pills. I LOVE these pills. I have been on the pills for 4 years now. I was never sick from them, no weight gain nothing. Only thing I do notice (everybody is different) is when I start a new pack my sex drive is high. I do have light periods or maybe none. Now with all that said I do take my pill everyday same time no matter what. I highly suggest this birth control pill."


"Klonopin helps my social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder associated with Bipolar Disorder I. I've been taking 1mg twice per day for 8 years and works great. I'm able to get things done without thinking something terrible is going to happen."


"I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder a month ago, previously Bipolar 1 with mixed episodes. Saphris changed my life for the better in so many ways. It helped cut down the agitation and anger associated with the mixed episodes almost right away. The paranoia still bites me every once in a while but it has been majorly decreased as well as the hallucinations and delusions that were plaguing me continuously. I sleep so well and don't have the medication hang over that risperidone was giving me at the dose I required. I started at 5mg and am now at 20mg at bedtime and it's working great. Hope the best to all who are trying to get the right med combo!"


"Cleared up the uti BUT 5 weeks after taking the final tablet I'm still having side effects.  First noticed that I had a sore throat and stiff neck after taking tablets for 5 days ( was given a seven day course) but did not make connection with taking antibiotics. Continued to take medication.  I then developed sensitive scalp, neck pain got worse and on and off headaches plus shoulder/back pain.  Felt awful.  I was on holiday at the time and it seemed to ease after about a week.  Reported to my GP on returning to the UK.  Now 5 weeks later, on holidays again, neck pain, sore skin, head pains are all back. Hope this helps others.  Not sure if I should seek medical attention or just hope problems go with time."


Monistat 1-Day or Night Combination Pack

"If you ever want to know how it feels to have an actual fire in your loins, this medicine will give you that experience. I've used this before with no problem, I don't know what happened but now I'm lying awake in bed with the most intense burning/itching sensation I've ever experienced. This is awful. If you love your vagina and your sanity, do not use this product."


"this is the best solution to nasty cold sores... If you are reading these reviews to get an idea about this medicine, stop now and order one right now. Believe everything every person is saying here about this cream. It is a miracle cream on every use."


"I have been taking trazodone for almost two months now. I went in to the doctor wanting a solution for insomnia but then quickly realized it was due to my situational depression. I told him that I never wanted to go on pills for depression but then he explained to me that trazodone is an antidepressant but doesn't have the horrible side effects such as prozac. He also told me its not addictive and that its a very old anti depressant so it wouldn't really do much in that category. These pills have made my life so much easier... I used to get anxiety a little bit after I took them but it went away after a week or two. I am prescribed 50 mg but I only take half, it doesn't really knock me out but I can get to bed before 1am which is great."


"This medicine helped my pain with my Juvenile Arthritis. I realised it helped right away but my 3rd day being on it I end up in the ER because I had large amount blood in my stool so parents rushed me to ER and I have been off the medicine for like 4 days. I'm in huge amount of pain again but the passing of blood has stopped.

If you do not have scary side effects due to this medicine I would recommend it because it did help me."


"I have major depression with psychotic features. Or at least that's what they say.  Antidepressants never worked for me and had awful side effects.  Antipsychotics worked better, but the older ones made me too sleepy, Abilify gave me ADD-like symptoms.  Latuda was pretty good, no cognition-affecting side effects, but it did sometimes give me bouts of annoying nausea.  I heard Vraylar was good at improving the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, which were very similar to the effects of depression in me, so I wondered if Vraylar would work for me too.

I've been on it for about a month now, just titrated up from 1.5 to 3 mg.  I feel "brighter." More animated, more social.  No side effects for me at all.  I like it."


"In just two weeks of taking this medication, my anxiety and depression became almost unbearable, I gained ten pounds, and I would cry at the drop of a hat. This medicine is the worst medicine experience I have ever had. Probably going to get an IUD."


"I gave it a 4/10 because obviously it works for birth control if that's your main purpose of using this pill. In my case I was using this pill as an aid for acne, I had been on accutane twice and countless types of medications and topical creams so my dermatologist suggested trying birth control. I will NEVER recommend this for someone trying to help their acne. My skin is worse than it has ever been and I have never been more self conscious in my entire life and I start my senior year of high school in less than a month, I regret my decision to go on this pill, it has come to the point where I literally do not even want to go out in public and I do not wear makeup nor do I like make up and I do not want to have to start wearing it."


"This drug is an absolute life saver for me. Things are so good for me right now. I've been on it for about 2 weeks now at 5mg at bedtime along with 50mg of Amitriptyline and 150mg of Sertraline. The first week was kind of rough because it made me gag easily and i was constantly nauseated. I felt really weak and tired. this is the end of the 2nd week and the side effects have subsided for the most part. I have regained my sex drive, i can feel emotions again. I recently bought a house with my fiance and when we heard the news of our clear to close, i actually cried from happiness (mind you, thats NEVER happened to me before.) If you feel like the side effects are unbearable, stick it out. they  seem like the go away."


"Have been on a few SSRIs (Paxil, Lexapro, and Zoloft).  Zoloft pulled me out of a dark hole of severe anxiety and insomnia and kept my head above water for about a year but I never felt great on it, just able to cope with life plus I still needed ativan for sleep which I didn't like but it helped.  Decided to try Buspar.  Wad fairly easy to get on, minimal side effects, a lot of brain zaps, though.  Mood improved after about 2 weeks, for about a week, then it just stopped working and anxiety came back hard.  Also I had bad insomnia the whole time on it, even before, but this didn't help in any way.  Had pretty disturbing nightmares when I did sleep.  Insomnia and decline in mood forced me to get off.  Took for a month.  Was at 30mg 3 x day."


"I was put on 2.5 mg every night of saphris, about 2 weeks ago. It has been utter hell for me. Not only Did it make my tactile hallucinations worse, it caused more problems than before. I've had to go to the ER. I'm more agitated than before. I'm bipolar. Isn't this a bipolar med? I'm not schizophrenic. And what's worse is that even though I'm on the lowest possible dose and only taking once a day, after stopping it IM STILL GETTING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS! And not small ones. Like I said before I had to go to the ER. I'm drinking a lot of water but I still had a extremely low amount of electrolytes. I ended up using two full bags of fluid. This drug is not safe. It does more harm than good."


"I get a lot of relief from 10-325 every 6 hours for back and neck pain, arthritis and pain from recent surgery for lung cancer and a severed Achilles tendon. I can't think of any negative effects except of course what you would expect from any other pain med. without the help from this drug I would not be functioning physically."


"I've been on Bydureon for 3 and 1/2 years. To date I have lost 103 lbs. At times I do get light headed but other than that no side effects. When I first started it I was sick as a dog due to my body adjusting to the medicine/lower blood sugar levels. The nausea sucks sometimes when your eating a delicious meal and can't take another bite without puking it all up. This medicine will definitely tell you when you've had enough to eat. I love it. Feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. 34 and 143 lbs. My doctor took me off the obese list 6 months ago. Stick with it and you'll see the results."


"I found this to be a safe and effective drug. I have chronic sinusitis. A 20 day course puts the sinusitis in remission. I also have small intestine bacterial overgrowth. While I was prescribed the medication for sinusitis, I found a spectacular improvement in my acute and chronic small intestinal bacterial overgrowth."


"Used short term for tooth pain. It definitely helped me get by until I got to the dentist and got the tooth pulled. These pills have always made me feel a little sick to my stomach so I have to be in severe pain before I will take them."


"I too had a problem breathing and tightness in my chest. The doctor didn't believe that it was my new medicine and started treating me for asthma. I started reading about the medicine and learned that this was a side effect. I stopped taking it for a week or so and I have noticed a big difference in my breathing! I love the outcome of the medicine so I am going to try to take it only 2 or so times a week to see if that helps."


"I originally began Lamotrigine about 6 weeks ago for Visual Snow syndrome caused by hallucinogen use. I am only on 75mg at this point as I've had to titrate up slowly. I've suffered major depression for most of my life and mild anxiety in the past year. I have noticed a HUGE difference in my mood on Lamotrigine. I have a greater sense of well being, I no longer think about suicide and I feel great about myself. It also decreases the intensity of my visual snow symptoms. I hardly notice or care about it anymore. No side effects either. This drug has truly been a blessing."


"The medicine works, but it has really bad side effects on me, severe headache, dizziness, can't get out of my bed, feels like fainting out, but I have to continue the med so that I can be healed. :("


"Overall I give this birth control a 5 because I never got pregnant. Besides that being on the nexplanon was the most frustrating 2 year experience. Every persons body is different but proceed with caution in your decision. The first 3 months were great no side effects, no period, nothing. After those three months I was bleeding non stop with an occasional 2-5 day break and it would begin again. My acne was ridiculous, it was worse than when I was in middle school and going through puberty. I had acne on my face all the time and eventually it developed all over my chest and back. I gained about 10 pounds. Doctors told me I was fine and some even suggested taking birth control pills while on the nexplanon to stop the bleeding."


"I got the kyleena inserted today and experienced the worst cramps in my life. The insertion were (8/10) on the pain scale. I am not very sensitive to pain but can't take any pain medication. The last 4 hours has been the worst in my entire life so far I have really bad cramps now 10/10 and nausea. I can't even get out of bed because of the severe pain!"


"After suffering vertigo for nearly a week I became very ill and spent a week at Dartmouth Hitchcock. I have been diagnosed with suspected Anaplasmosis once and Lyme disease three times, most recently on 6/16/17. I have taken four 30 day courses and one 14 day course of Doxycycline hyclate 100mg, 2x daily. My physician will prescribe another 30 course of "doxy".  I don't feel sick and don't remember having a tick. They can be so small its very easy to miss them. And, I'm tired of taking antibiotics even though I know I need them.
"


"I got Nexplanon in November 2012, I didn't know when it started working because I was in bootcamp but I don't think I got my period for 3-4 months. When I do get my period, I don't know how long it will last because the 1st one I got was 4 days, and the one after was 2 weeks. The only REALLY BAD thing I've found is weight gain. I've been able to get rid of some of the weight, but not enough to where I feel comfortable with myself again. I think I gained 22lbs I went from 116lbs to 138lbs. Aside from that, it works great."


"I am 18 and I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe about 3 weeks ago. I have horrible acne (on my face, back, chest, and shoulders) since I have been taking this birth control my acne is little to none, thank God! I did get my period while on the pill and it was already lighter and shorter compared to my usual 6-7 day hell. I did have spotting the first 2 weeks then it stopped. The only thing that is a bummer is breast tenderness (especially in the morning) my breast are swollen, but I don't think they will get bigger than my already 34D. My Gyno gave me 2 packs and my insurance is not going to cover."


"I opted to get Mirena after my birth control pills caused my high blood pressure. The shot made me gain weight and really did a number on my bones. Implanon was just a disaster and I was running out of options. I was a little reserved since I have not had children, and I knew the risks and side effects.I have not had children and I have a small cervix. These factors made the insertion very painful. I almost jumped off the table in pain, and I almost passed out. I lost feeling in my hands and was dripping sweat. I was given pain medication after the procedure, but I did get sick about an hour afterwards. I threw up as soon as I got home. I bled and was uncomfortable for a week or so and then it stopped. So far, I have not had any problems."


"I was taking Flexeril for muscle spasm's in my back. It would reliave the pain a little bit, but when I did my exercises and took Flexeril it helped. For severe pain I had to take Percocet. The two worked well together."


"I had severe anxiety, panic attacks...I worry all the time about everything, causing my blood pressure to skyrocket. I had been on blood pressure pills for 2 months but still having a heavy pressure in my chest/throat area, causing me to think I was having a heart attack.  Doctor prescribed Vistaril 25mg x 2 day for anxiety.  This helps me tremendously and I only have to take it once a day.  Hope this helps answer some questions someone might have."


"This pill works really well. Not for everyone but those that it will work on, it works great. Take effect in about 2 to 3 weeks."


"I started taking Bontril 105mg for about 4 days and haven't weighed myself yet. I used to take this pill about 4 years ago and lost around 30 pounds, but then stopped taking them when my former Doctor stopped prescribing diet pills. It was until a co-worker referred me to a new Doctor and I am completely happy with him. He first gave me Adipex but after 2 months with no weight loss results he changed me to Bontril last week. I am confident and happy that I am back to this pill and more than sure that it will work. I am 157 and 5" and my goal is to lose 35 pounds before my 20 months old birthday."


"I've been on Lamictal for almost two years now, along with Lithium. I like Lamictal a lot. I have to get off Lithium because it's raising my blood pressure and causing weight gain. Lamictal doesn't cause any side effects that are dangerous, I think I have memory problems and concentration issues but nothing too bad. I'm a full time second year college student with a 3.8 GPA so if anything this medicine is helping me do well in school. For anyone who had a bad reaction I feel bad for you because when this drug works it's doing the business. For sure, good luck new users. Try never to increase your dosage too high; remember the higher it is the harder to get off. "


"I am a 23 year old female, recently diagnosed with ADD.  Thanks to my amazing doctor, he discovered my problem was actually not anxiety (like I've been told my entire life), but actually ADD.  Makes complete sense.  Always been a horrible student, and have had to work my butt off in college.  Vyvanse is amazing:  gives me energy, do not have to nap every day, my thoughts and emotions are very thought out, have already improved in school.  I actually hear people when they talk to me now!  I am much more social, relaxed, and confident.  I feel like myself with Vyvanse.  Only downfall- makes me really tired when it wears off in the evening and I cannot drink more than 1 or 2 cups of coffee during the day, or else I get very anxious!"


"I have been on Contrave for 3 months now and am down about 35 pounds.  I love it!  I have had absolutely no side effects at all, and once I got up to the full dose I am not hungry at all.  In fact, I often have to remind myself to eat.  On my doctor's advice I've actually lowered my dose back to 2 in the morning and one at night.  It isn't doing it all on its own.  I am also making an effort to be more active mainly through walking every day along with eating less.  I want to lose 90 pounds total and am well on my way."


"Like many other Topical creams for skin cancer, It has a burning effect. Dryness then flaking on the area's applied. It helps when the flaking has stopped and your skin has had time to repair the dead drying and sometimes a bit of bleeding in my cases. but seems to get rid of the skin cancer. So for about a week you will look a little scally best used before or after any family photo's."


"Levothyroxine 50mcg was prescribed. First time user. First day took only half. By mid day I felt hyperactive. Had difficulty falling asleep at night.
2nd day took 1 tab. Still felt overactive for the day. Still insomnia
3rd, 4th, 5th day heat intolerance set in. I had the airconditioner on all day and all night.
6th day, all were felt and at about 7pm severe headache was felt while at a party.
Headache was so severe it felt like the pressure on my head was going to bust off my head. Cooled off by putting ice on my face which also made my glands swell, did not lower the pressure on my head.
Took blood pressure reading when I got home. It was very high.
I have never felt such  pressure headache before in my life nor high blood pressure reading."


"I haven't seen anyone else discuss this, but Latuda gave me A LOT of anxiety.  Within 2 hours after taking the medication I would be in full freak out mode.  Also, my lower legs felt tingly.  These issues tended to last anywhere from 2-7 hours after I took it (at 4pm).  I gave it a 3 because I think it was otherwise working for what I'd hoped. My irritability disappeared completely.  However, because of the side-effects I'm off and looking for something else. (I also take lithium and Lamictal)."


"It has been two weeks since my Skyla insertion.  The insertion was most people described.  More than just discomfort.  After the insertion, I immediately had to sit.  I was nauseous, sweating, and experiencing tremendous cramps. I opened the patient room door to let the nurses know I was not doing so hot.   Luckily, I have a wonderful doctor's office.   They had me lie down with the lights out with some water and a couple 800mg Ibuprofen.  My nurse assured me she had the exact same reaction.  I have had cramping since my procedure (some day its awful, some days manageable).  I am hoping they will subside soon.  I am happy to be off the pill.  I have been taking it for 16 years and am happy to not be ingesting all that extra estrogen."


"I've been on this pill for over 2 months now and I absolutely love it. I used to be on lo loestrin for almost a year and had the worst experience with it. After switching to Sprintec I no longer spotted between periods, got my period on time, got my sex drive back and no more mood swings. I feel great and have nothing but positive things to say about it!"


"I was first prescribed Fioricet (Fiorinol) 25 years ago. Since then, it has been just about the only medicine I've taken which successfully alleviated my migraines. The only exception was the Imitrex injection. As new medicines came out, my doctors would ask me to try them but I always went back to my Fioricet.

"


"I started Contrave on Monday, and it is now Saturday.  I have lost 4.8 lbs.  To me, that is absolutely amazing as I am hypothyroid and have not lost more than a pound or 2 in the last 8 years!  I am praying that this continues to work.  I want to lose 50 lbs so I can be around to watch my children grow up.  I have been so miserable for so long and felt nothing would ever help me.  I am loving this drug.  I am struggling with a few side effects: dizziness, racing heart, and trouble sleeping.  The dizziness goes away when I drink water, so I think my body is just keeping me hydrated.  The racing heart is usually when I sleep.  I will talk to my doctor about that.  All in all though, I now have hope which is more than I've had in a long time!"


"For celiac disease: Greatest thing since the automobile!  I can get relief now. I've had diarrhea for the past 2 weeks.

Slippery elm has permitted me to have regular bowel motions. No discomfort in the colon. I feel great!

Going to doc next week to get a complete physical, but in the meantime, I'm so grateful for this herb.  I've taken it before but just forgot just how great it was.
I had forgotten what "normal" feels like. GREAT!"


"I've had dulcolax many times before and always get a varied reaction. Usually it kicks in after about two hours. I will have moderate to severe cramps for a further few hours then diarrhea until the cramps stop. Sometimes I can't go for hours and am left with unproductive cramps all night. Sometimes there are no cramps and no effect (in this case I follow up with senna plus dulcolax the next day). My worst experience was a few years ago where I didnt experience cramps until the morning. After an incredibly painful few hours I passed an incredible amount of diarrhea over the next 24 hours to the point I was certain I had cholera; every 5 minutes I would need to run to the bathroom and pass a few litres of water."


"Good for breathing"


"Its very strange at first, serious nightmares, its almost like lucid dreaming, very 3D, and you have more ability to make decisions in the dream.  It takes me at least 2 hrs for it to work, and I have taken it and stayed in bed for hours with a horrible nights sleep.  It works different than ambien, it gives me a sedative feel.  Make sure you have at least 7 hrs to sleep.  Once you get used to it, the negative side effects I think go down.  The half life is longer than Ambien and that's good but it still does not have the effect of a quick acting sleep med.  More expensive too because its new and there is no generic yet."


"I have found Tetracycline extremely effective for adult acne. Now my skin is 99% blemish free.  I have not noticed any of the side effects listed."


"I got mirena to help my endometriosis . I no longer have pain, no longer have headaches that the pill gave me . The iud has made my life so much better and easier . I spot occasionally and have a very light period it's very nice !"


"on my 3rd month and the acne caused by this pill still havent gone away. when I started this pill I broke out like CRAZY. I had HUNDREDS of pimples the day after starting. most of them have cleared but now instead of a bunch of tiny red pimples, I get big painful cyctic ones. I stayed with it because everyone told me I had to give my body time to adjust, but it doesn't seem to be doing better. The 2nd month on the pill I had HORRIBLE stomach pains. It was awful. I was puking every other day from the pain, not nausea. As a BC its great idk if its worth the acne tho.. my skin is so scarred."


"I was prescribed this med because I lost my dad very suddenly recently and suffered my first full blown panic / anxiety attack . The attack itself was the usual numbness and tingling sensation . Hard time breathing and impending doom thoughts . I was told to take on a as needed basis so that's what I did . I started to have the strangest things happening to my body , flu like symptoms with hot and cold flashes and pain ALL OVER! My usually high blood pressure kept falling and I was dizzy and lightheaded . My doctor attributes it to anxiety and directed me to take more ! So we upped my dose and OMG the pain was worse !! Now I know I might just be sensitive to this drug but my friend had the exact same experience with it . So beware !"


"I had severe acne as a teenager and Doxycycline did not have an effect. I ended up taking Roaccutane which eventually left me with clear skin for 8 years. However, the last 9 months I have had a reoccurrence of moderate acne and was prescribed Doxycycline. I was convinced it would have no effect again but within 3 days I saw an improvement. Now after 2 weeks I have had no new spots. The first few days it made me feel really nauseous but more bearable if I take it with a meal and lots of water."


"I had an A1C of 9.3 on my last test.  My doctor/nurse suggested Jardiance 25mg.  Since then I've never had high glucose levels I've had over the last month and a half.  I'm consistently around or below 100.  I'm feeling great. I have forced myself to drink more during the day and I'm amazed at the difference.  I've been a type 2 diabetic for over 30 years, eventually going from oral meds, then insulin by syringe, now on insulin pump.  I honestly believe Jardiance has been the answer to my prayers.  Lately I've had numerous low glucose readings and I'll be discussing this with my Endocronologist soon.  However, I am feeling near normal with my control lately.  "


"I am 37 yrs old and have been a smoker for 23 years.  I am currently on day 12 of Chantix. I absolutely LOVE it!! I have now been smoke free for 3 days and I have NO desire to smoke! I actually set my quit date for Day 24 which would be Thanksgiving Day..but, I stopped so much sooner! Since moving up to the 1Mg tablet, my desire to smoke decreased, and I was smoking less and less. On day 9, I went to smoke my morning cigarette, took about 3 puffs, and ended up throwing up terribly because they tasted so bad! That was enough for me to just stop, and I did! My side effects aren't too bad. I feel a little nauseated when I take it, but it goes away. I'm having vivid dreams which are interesting but not scary at all! Hoping I stay smoke free!"


"I am a 57 year old female, diagnosed with RA 29 years ago. I took Enbrel for 9 years, but began to have more frequent flares, so my rheumatologist switched me to Humira. I took the first injection 20 days ago and felt great until day 12, when I developed severe flu-like symptoms, with aches and pains and had a significant rash over my entire body and face. It was like having a major RA flare plus an itchy rash and headache at the same time.  I was prescribed a six-day dose of prednisone and 24 hour a day Benadryl. I had little  improvement three days latter and received a steroid shot  which was three days ago.  Four days later, I still have significant overall weakness, a major headache and injection site reaction from the initial and last injection."


"I tried the medication first with the other medications given to me by my doctor. Then I tried it while off the other medicines.  Both times I got totally debilitating headaches. They affected both the head and the stomach.  I have given it all the chances I am willing to give.  "


"I took one dose and 30 minutes later I was in real trouble! Rash, itching, tachycardia, abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, etc."


"After five months in 11-12 year old male, no noticeable side effects and works very well at reducing mania. (7.5mg)"


"Had tonsillitis for at least 4 months now, given amoxicillin didn't work then erythromycin which I took a reaction too, so doc put me on clarithromycin as a last resort antibiotic. On day 4 and the Pain has eased a bit but not significantly, tonsils are still really red and swollen and there is still white dots on them. Horrible horrible metallic taste in mouth that wakes me up feeling nauseous every hour or two so sleep is disrupted, diarrhoea and moderate stomach pains (nothing like the erythromycin), extremely itchy to the point I break the skin, but no signs of a rash, tongue is very sore and is really red white loads of red dots all over the top and sides."


"Its been almost a month and It's making my acne worse. Worst in my forehead area. I've been having acne for almost 4 years and didn't try any medication. I started using this as directed by the dermatologist. To say the truth I'm tired of answering the same question people ask me everyday. Whats wrong with your face!!! But Honestly I feel although my acne is getting worse my face is lightning up and it's much softer than before. So I know it's working out. I'm having new breakouts everyday but I clearly see a difference others fail to see. So I'm hoping to continue this as I think it will work out sooner as I have also seen reviews.
Sweating will make your face itchy if this is applied causing more breakouts."


"I love Brilltenex. I've been on it for a year. Unfortunately I take 20 mg. I feel a whole lot better. So much better than Prozac. Only down fall is that my headaches are back. Might lower back to 10mg. Wish it wasn't so expensive."


"I was on Vitamin B12 injections years ago and felt good, the thing is my workmates mentioned how I was different.  I also have a thyroid problem and have started my injections again. I just didn't know why or what had me feeling so bad. I was diagnosed with BiPolar, but I wonder even with just B12 deficiency or thyroid alone, they have such a impact. But together I am very affected.  Once I feel better I will see if I am BiPolar.   The B12 injections do help, maybe not instantly, maybe days or longer, but they help 100%."


"I honestly didn't think Abreva would work. I got the first signs of a cold sore on a Thursday morning and applied the Abreva immediately. On Friday, my cold sore blistered just a little bit and was somewhat itchy but the Abreva definitely kept the cold sore from getting any bigger and under control. By Saturday, I noticed that the blisters were already drying out and on the way to healing well. One Sunday, it was gone completely!

I'd definitely use Abreba again! Without it, I'd have to face a whole week or more of

enduring a very itchy, fast growing and ugly cold sore that would make me feel ugly and very self-conscious."


"Diagnosed with fibromyalgia 6 years ago, I've tried many antidepressants and pain killers. I have been in withdrawal of Tramal and replacing it with Lyrica. I see it as my salvation when compared to some of the medications I have taken over the years. YES, withdrawal from any form of medication is horrific and with uncertainty and discomfort. I personally am prepared to go through this horrible time to give Lyrica it's chance to work and improve my life, as I have seen an improvement already. Thanks to those who worked so hard to make this medicine for those of us who need it, know that your work is appreciated."


"Positives: I'm not pregnant, and it really has cleared up my acne. My periods are shorter, not necessarily lighter.
Negatives: I've been taking Trinessa for about a year and my periods still do not come at the same time every month. I will be the first to admit I do not take it at the EXACT time every day, but definitely within a window of a few hours. Before my period, I notice that I will get very dizzy and lightheaded, which never happened to  me before. It has also made me VERY emotional- I'm a pretty sensitive person, but it was never this bad. Finally, I have noticed that the pill reduces my appetite, however, if I do not constantly have a small amount of food in my stomach, I feel nauseous (I never vomit), it goes away once I eat."


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


"I started Seasonique in September of last year. The first 3 month pack worked awesome for me, my acne cleared up, my cramps from Endometriosis diminished, and I only had 1 period in 3 months with no break through bleeding or spotting. However, in week 5 of my second pack I started spotting, a week after that I was bleeding like a regular menstrual cycle.  Also my cramps became more severe and I developed tremendous pain in my lower back.  I have been bleeding for the past 6 weeks since I first noticed the spotting and my cramps have come back in full force.  After reading some of the reviews on this website I feel a little better but I suppose my case is a rare and extreme reaction because I haven't seen anything too close in comparison."


"This medicine is the ONLY thing that is keeping me from being on TPN again. I have had 3 surgeries, tried different anti diarrheal medications, from over the counter to powdered, to lomodil. I was taking the last one named 6 at a time 3x a day and still dumping. Now I take Opium Tincture 3x day 0.6mL and lomodil between doses. This allowed me to only dump 4to6 X' s first thing when I wake up. The tincture is saving my life, and is a last resort before TPN which I was previously forced to have to live. Surgery to reverse the roux n y that a surgeon needlessly did to prevent serious gerd 2 yrs ago causing the dumping has not helped, but I am hopeful since the reversal was only 5 mo ago. I am tired all of the time, but alive!"


"OMG!!!! This is horrible!!! The cramps n bloating are the worst I've ever had!!!  I suffer from multiple pain issues, fibromyalgia, severe neck and back pain with shooting pins and needles with burning down my legs. Due to a failed back surgery. I'll take that pain over the pain I have from Movantik. I have been back and fourth from the bathroom and sat on the pot till both of my legs are numb. Nothing's moving  but I'm having such bad cramps I can't move."


"My first time taking Plan B, I took it 6 hours after the condom got stuck inside me, (I was so worried, I didn't sleep well that night) After taking it, I didn't experience any side effects, and didn't bleed or anything, and I got my period right on schedule. It did its job! But the second time around, (Yes, it happened again -_-) I took Plan B 20 minutes after, and I started bleeding a week later, looks like my regular period, but my regular period is scheduled to come in 3 weeks, so, I know Plan B worked, and it's normal to bleed a couple days after taking it. Now all that's left is to wait for my period to come."


"I'd say this is a good/decent pill overall, but pills are decidedly not for me - too annoying to keep track of the time I take it each day, and my already large boobs grew!  I don't think I've gained much, if any, weight other than in my chest, but I've had some nausea every day I take the active pill and I might be running a bit warmer/sweatier than my normal temperature.  I've felt a little blue but I'm very sensitive to hormones (I have PMDD and take antidepressants for it).  I know it's been effective so far because I have migraines when I ovulate and no migraines on the pill, so I'm taking that to mean I'm not ovulating!  Probably just gonna use condoms from now on, though, tbh."


"Excedrin has worked wonders!!!! It's fast and it pretty much helps with anything!! I have suffered from headaches, migraines, neck, shoulder, and back pain. It gives me relief from it all. For women if you have bad menstrual pain this is the number 1 go to pill for me. It works quick and I use it for anything I can think of dealing with pain. I use the off brand sometimes but this one works best but the off brand is fine to try to see if it works and then after testing it I got this and even more results. I'm a 25 year old Navy Veteran with pain from military injuries and I tell you this is the Best!!!"


"I have been suffering with cold sores for 20 years now, they usually happen once a year. I am so horrified when they happen, I take work off, and basically live in my house for 2 weeks. I came across a YouTube video after feeling a bump coming on and that's when I came across Zovirax. I thought what the heck I've tried everything else. I went to my doctor same day (thank god I got in). It cost me about 90$ but it was worth it. This stuff is a god send! My cold sore was already at the blister stage so it was day 2. Applied the cream all day for 2 days, you can't even tell I have a cold sore! There is nothing! I wish I knew about this stuff years ago. Would have saved me a lot of agony."


"Love this medication! Have been on it for over 10 years with no side effects. Different insurance companies have made me try Ritalin, Adderall and Nuvigil. None of those worked and the first two gave me awful side effects. It is not a fix all! You have to live different than other people do if you have narcolepsy. My doctor (who wrote a book on narcolepsy) said that I should still get about 10 hours sleep every night and should have a consistent daily schedule. Be properly diagnosed by a sleep latency study after an assessment for sleep apnea - it doesn't help sleep apnea! And don't take it if you are pregnant (also, birth control pills may not work while on it)."


"I started taking Nuvaring a couple of weeks ago.  I came to this site because I am afraid that my side effects could be early pregnancy due to failure of the birth control- based on prior responses it sounds like these are probably just bad side effects:

bloating, lower back pain, constipation, nausea, headaches, loss of appetite, racing heart, anxiety."


"I have been taking Ultram for about a month now. I had hip surgery in November 2008 and am still having some residual pain. It gets severe at times. Ultram works wonders, though ever time I take it, I do get very euphoric and excited. This lasts about 2 hours. This symptom has not decreased since I have been taking it, but has never interfered with driving or other activities."


"I had been suffering from depression and anxiety for years, in 2014 was put on to sertraline and felt better for a few months until the symptoms returned. A year later the doctor doubled my dose and things started to calm down again. I've recently been to have a review of my medication and was put on to 10mg citalopram. I can't describe how much this has had a positive effect on my life, from day 3 of taking it my palpitations had gone, the sweats & faint feelings had disappeared. It really is an amazing medication if it works well for you."


"Recently diagnosed bi polar. I was on Latuda 40mg and felt good. After two weeks of the 80mg that my psychiatrist prescribed me I started to notice severe depression. It would occur about 30 minutes after taking. I was even having suicidal thoughts which has never happened to me. The first night I stopped taking it I did not feel depressed at all. The med just didn't work for me. We are going to try Abilify next."


"I am allergic to mold and mildew, short of moving to AZ I have allergies 24/7 365 days.  I have been on Allegra D for better than 8 years.  I have no side effects and without it I would not be breathing.  I also use a nasal spray when the pills can't keep the nasal passages clear enough for me to breath (mostly spring and fall). Prescription plans stopped covering it over two years ago so OTC has cut my costs but a pain to have to buy every 10 days."


"It's not true what they say about only taking it for a few weeks. I have been taking it for almost 2 years. I got off it for two months and I noticed I was hungrier. In fact I was so hungry I gained 7lbs those two months. Then I re-started the pill and lost the weight again. I lost a total of 90lbs and maintained them since starting the Tenuate and exercise. I eat the same foods but smaller portions and exercise 4-5 times a week. I am now slowly decreasing my strength but to be honest I'm afraid to be completely off it. Might be more of a mental thing. I never had any side effects and see my doctor every 3 months for a blood pressure check and every 6 months for blood work to make sure it hasn't affected my liver/kidneys. I would recommend this medication anytime."


"I am prescribed Xanax 0.5 mg twice daily. At 21 yrs old and have a speech impairment due to major anxiety. Xanax helps greatly to calm me down and be able to control my nervousness. I've tried Vistaril, Buspar, Seroquel, Paxil and nothing comes close to working as well as Xanax does! It works pretty fast when real anxious and makes me to be much much more outgoing and motivated throughout the day. I'm taking 40mg Celexa with Xanax which is a wonderful combination. I'm very fidigity and uncalm, but with Xanax, I feel how I should be. While being less anxious and more outgoing, I also feel a very floaty state of mind. Xanax helps!"


"I suffer from Tinnitus, which causes me great anxiety.  My doctor put me on Klonopin 3 times a day 0.5 mg along with Ambien and Celexa once a day.  I feel so much better.  I am able to ignore the noise, and when I do hear it...it don't go into panic mode.  I am sleeping better than ever."


"Worked very well."


"I suffer with horrible nerve burning on the back side of my head. I've tried shots, pills, etc, and nothing works!  It is debilitating and the only effective medicine that works is oxycodone (20mg) 3X per day.  It gave me mt life back! My doctor has been wonderful and the meds keep me functioning! I now have a life!"


"The problem I have had is with it staining my clothes."


"I'm on my second month, and or bottle of ALLI. I tried it in the past, but I must admit, I ate fat and yes, had the loose bowel motion, but didn't gain weight. No I only had 15 lb to loose, and so far I've lost 7-9 lbs in a month, eating good. I did go on a week vacation and ate cake, drank cocktails, ribs, etc.  Not every day, and yes it came right out. Don't laugh, but I didn't gain a pound during the week. I'm not using it for that reason, but hey, now you can go on that Cruise during your diet and NOT gait weight. Ya, you go to the bathroom a lot, but you know its all coming-out. For the most part 'Im 90 percent on track, with NO side effects. And if I eat Pizza and Nachos on Friday night, so what, I don't gain weight and for once I'm not constipated."


"I have been on Contrave for 1 month and have lost 10 pounds!  So excited!  I have not really had any side effects at all.  My doctor is just as excited as I am that this is working...stick with it, watch what you are eating and get some exercise and it will work!"


"After almost 3 years of usage, and refining the dosage, I feel better at 65 years old than I did at 50."


"I went to the doctor on early February 2017.  My blood pressure was through the roof and I was pre-diabetic. After bloodwork he prescribed Lisinopril and Belviq. I started taking Belviq on 2/10/2017 and my starting weight was 194 at 5'2".  It is 3/2 and now I am 188.  I know it shows it to be slow, however, the slowest part was in the beginning when I guess my body was getting used to the medication.  The first week I did not lose any weight.  As the day passed I was seeing my weight loss started to forward.  Now I am losing 1 lb a day.  I am eating sensibly and replacing one or two meals with a Raw Juice full of vegetables like Kale, ginger, green apple, etc.  I am also very tired at night which is helping me get a nice restful sleep."


"I use this products on cold sores and it is a dream come true. Works great on keeping cold sores under control (but only if you catch it early) and even works on acne! I noticed a big red pimple on my cheek, dabbed some abreva on it before I went to bed, and it was 99% gone in the morning!"


"After 3 doses of 75mg, my knee and ankle swelling and pain have nearly completely gone."


"I had a cold sore on my lip and as soon as it went away two others popped up. They were so bad and I was so miserable so I finally went out and got abreva. I'm on day six of using the medicine and my cold sore is already gone!  It would've went away so much sooner if I hadn't waited so long to get the medicine, it's expensive but it's definitely worth the price!  I'd recommend abreva to anyone who has a cold sore you will not regret it."


"Almost 32 years old and YES, I have Acne.
I have a combination of cystic, pusy, blackheads, zits and severe scaring.
Fed up with the ppersistent outbreaks that WOULD NEVER go away, and trying to be proactive about it in a holistic way; reaching out to your doctor is the best thing you could do! I did!
Wow! What and incredible difference in my skin! I am currently 5 days into the medicine Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg prescribed to me along with clindamycin 1% topical gel.  I will admit, it really does make you super nauseated if you do not eat a little of something before taking the antibiotic. Other than that, I personally am seeing results. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TAKE PROBIOTICS FOR GOOD BACTERIA!"


"I started the starter pack and my depression med a week ago, just upped my dosage to the 1 mg. I'm taking it in conjunction with 20 mg of celexa. I've had MDD for about 10 years and nothing has worked. My mood is elevated and I don't have the bouts of crying right now BUT I'm tired. It has me super nauseous. I have very weird dreams. It fights my insomnia allowing me to sleep for atleast 7 hours but during the day I'm so lethargic I don't want to move. When I try to get up and move around, I'm super dizzy. I don't know if I will continue with this medication. I don't know how long this feeling will last or if it will last indefinitely while on the medication."


"Solodyn cleared up my ACNE within just a few days, minimal side effects. Cleared up my acne and made my skin actually STAY clear, I haven't had any acne for about a month"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"My husband and I had 2 very different experiences.  He didn't chill anything, mixed it, drank it like chugging down a beer, then immediately did the 2 additional 16oz room temp waters.  Said it tasted like cough syrup but it wasn't too bad. It hit 1hr later and an hr after that he was done.  His repeat was exactly the same. His only side effect was hunger. I chilled mine, pinched my nose and drank it all down with a STRAW in about 15mins.  Took a spoonful of honey then let go of my nose. Didn't taste a thing!  I had trouble getting all the water down in an hour, had to switch to Gatorade. I was bloated, a little nauseous, and almost had a headache. Mine also hit an hour later but I went 18 times in 3hrs. 2nd round similar but better."


"Dont have any side effects, only mild tiredness. Been taking it for three weeks."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I have had two shots of Neulasta.  There were no side effects at all after the first. Thus I was not prepared for the extreme tenderness, soreness and achiness from my waist up after the 2nd. Even my face hurt. It lasted 36 to 48 hours then was gone.  My white blood count does go up so it is doing it's job. Have to wonder what will happen next time after injection 3."


"Started taking Victoza on 3rd June, had no side effects, lost 2 stone in weight. Blood sugar down from 20 plus to in the 5 and less, also take metformin SR. 4 tablets a day, also blood pressure down to normal. It's the best thing since sliced bread. Feeling 100% better, the only thing that will send blood sugars up is if I eat apples."


"Since getting a tubal ligation 10 years ago, I have had heavy periods,  over the years it has gotten heavier & more painful, I got anemia, and so fatigue at least 2 weeks before period and then my cycle would last at least 9-10 days. So basically a week out of the month I was semi-normal. The beginning of this year I barely found out you can take birth control to stop your period, obviously I jumped on that, got a prescription for Jolessa. Started it & my period still came as usual but wasn't that heavy, and then for the next 2 months I had spotting everyday.....but then the 3rd month maybe 1 or 2 days of breakthrough bleeding because I forgot to take a pill. Now 10 months of taking Jolessa I don't have a period at all."


"I started taking amitriptyline a little over a month ago at for the first  two weeks my headaches got better almost disappeared and then my headaches came back full blown and worse than I have ever had them."


"Using 10 mg/night for the last two months - it works okay but side effects include low libido, and a very noticeable reduction in endurance and muscle strength. As a distance runner - age 50 my performance is severely impacted running and in bed. Going to ask my Doctor to try something else."


"I've been tormented by anxiety since childhood. I am 24 years old and have been through a lot in my life. I've been diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety, panic attacks, ADD. I've been medicated most my life as well. My anxiety got so bad in high school that I had to be home schooled. I wake up in the morning feeling like my heart will explode for no apparent reason. I get intense irrational fear and intense impulses to harm myself because I just can't take it and get frustrated I start throwing and breaking things I can't stand to be alone a lot of the time. Xanax works fast and calms me down without knocking me out. Depending on the severity of my attacks I take up to 2 mg. No less than 0.5-1mg."


"EXCELLENT they really work for me"


"Using 5mg since 8 months. It prevents me from severe pain in the base of my skull (perhaps occipital neuralgia). The important point to be noted in my case is the timing of taking the medicine. I mostly get the pains in early morning while in deep sleep. Before taking this med, I would wake up in severe pain that would last until I take a painkiller. Than I started taking amlodipine 5mg at night. However, I need to take the medicine about 10~12 hours before the onset of the pain. If I am late, I would get the pain on the same time in morning in spite of taking the pill. However, in such case, the pain gradually diminishes as the time approaches to the required time.

Looking forward to hear from those suffering from similar conditions."


"I was diagnosed with endometriosis and polycistic ovaries when I was just 16 years old. I'm now 22 and I've gone though 9 birth control pills and 9 different gynos. I had a laporoscip surgery when I was 17, which removed scar tissue and large cysts from my ovaries. After the surgery I was on birth control (seasonique which is wonderful for endometriosis) and up until a year ago I haven't had many issues with pains. I started to get the pains again, along with bleeding for 3 months on birth control, so I went ahead with Lupron. After reading up on it, I was hesitant, but moved forward. It stopped the bleeding, but the pain is still there and now my joints ache every day and also depression and suicidal thoughts are always there. Do not do it"


"I have been prescribed several maintenance medications to control my COPD over the past 4  years. Ventolin has proved to be, by far, the best medication I have used. Very quick acting & reassuring."


"I had psoriasis since I was two and my whole body was covered with it until I started using it at age ten. Cleared up right away my mom said- and I sometimes forget that I have psoriasis. I say a nine because I feel my immune system weakened and I need to be extra careful to not get sick. My body loves it so much it gets weird when I skip or forget to pen up myself"


"I was 22 when I was taking the pill and was on it for 3 months. I stopped because of the side affects. I was getting very, very emotional and moody about everthing. At first I wasn't sure if it was the birth control but I talked to other friends and they also had similiar problems. I also got very sore breasts which I never dealt with before so it really bothered me. And the biggest thing was I had a hard time remembering to take my pill around the same time then would get very paranoid I would become pregnant. I then tried the shot but that didn't go well either so I'm going to try the patch next!"


"Have been on Percocet about twenty years, chronic low back and neck pain, leg pain, arthritis, bulging discs, impinged nerves.  I have just learned to deal with it.  A new dr gave me butans and put on patch last night, felt immediate rush, same feeling have gotten when have gotten iv morphine at hospital, worried it dispensed all the drug at once?? But I slept pain free for first time in about 25 yrs and Im at work now...have not yet started my day but I noticed I got in and out of car easily and walked to building without much pain for the first time ever...I am hoping it doesnt wear off quickly and have concerns it will eventually stop working.  In 2007 was on fentynyl patch for several years, it stopped working over time"


"I've been on Concerta since I was about 13 (I'm 22 now).  When I first started the medication I experienced a fair amount of weight loss. Overall, Concerta has truly changed my life and made me a more focused student.  Since I've been on it for so long, I have learned to manage side effects but some that have been ongoing are: upset stomach right after taking the medication (due to the stimulant effects and lack of food), slight headaches, jitters, binging when the medication wears off, and occasional paranoia.  When first beginning the medication, remember to force yourself to have some caloric in-take even if it is just a smoothie.  This has been life-changing, but please remember to balance out your diet."


"I've been on this pill for almost a month and like everyone else said my face has never been so broke out in my entire life. And its all around my mouth and chin. They say sometimes its takes over a month for it to balance out but honestly I'm not sure I'm willing to wait that long. Not happy with it at all."


"Got implanon inserted about two months ago now, because my period is normally irregular I had to take a pregnancy test before I could do it, all was well so we went ahead.
The bruise was massive but not painful in any way.
Obviously I had to have my period at some point, it started 4 days after insertion and lasted 2 weeks. Since then I haven't had my period and don't feel like I will get it soon.
No adverse side effects so far.
I was worried about gaining weight once I got it and actually I lost 10 kilos because my hunger just stopped altogether. I have fixed that by making sure I eat properly and am currently working on returning to my natural weight.
Would recommend to anyone who doesn't feel reliable enough for the pill."


"First, the positive. I've suffered from anxiety my entire life. This medication helped tremendously in that it was under control while I was on it. If you suffer from anxiety, you know how wonderful this can be.

The negative. I gained 20 pounds quickly that I couldn't get rid of. I decided to get off of the medication because I was trying to get pregnant. The withdrawals were really bad. I had brain zaps non-stop, couldn't stand up straight because of dizziness and extreme confusion. Now, keep in mind I tapered myself slowly off this medication, per doctor's orders. It took 5 months before I wasn't experiencing these withdrawal symptoms. Horrific."


"All I can say is wow! Fantastic product I've had acne for about 20 years I'm 34, and nothing worked for me and at my age and still spotty its very depressing, then my doctor told me about Duac. I used it for about a week and my face went a bit dry so I gave it a couple of days and started again and now my face is completely clear and my scars have faded! If you have got acne then this is amazing!  I've never been so happy with my skin and I'm getting married soon and over the moon that my face will be clear for that. "


"I LOVE this birth control! I heard many horror stories before I got the implant inserted. A lot of my friends did not have the same experience that I am having. I have had the device in for 4 months now. Since insertion, I have not had 1 single period. Not one. No spotting. No mood swings. No weight gain. (I have actually lost weight since insertion, but It is more likely due to my active lifestyle). No change in sex drive.

Insertion was a simple process with minimal pain and bruising.

I have been on many different types of BC over the last 14 years and this by far is my favorite. I wish it was more successful for other ladies. Guess I was just one of the lucky ones. Cheers!"


"It was great for my Crohn's Disease, but I got drug induced Lupus from the medication."


"Tastes like Tonic Water & Wild Berry Kool-Aid mix! Made the mistake of downing the first batch all at once and as noted felt bloated and slightly nauseous. Worked within 20 minutes and ended 2-1/2 hours later with "muddy" running water. Currently going through 2nd batch. Missed my coffee & waffles this morning and boy does my stomach rumble!"


"I started using the NuvaRing in around November 2015. Everything was perfect for the first two-three months. In January I got my period and it was the most excruciating pain I have ever felt, I didn't think I could survive. It lasted 2 months, filled with terrible cramps and very heavy bleeding. SO i had enough of it and i took it out and my period stop a week after I took it out. A month later i got my period again and amazingly it was shorter and there was barely any pain... I hope it stays that way. I really loved the NuvaRing when i first started it, but it seemed so have completely stopped working which is weird."


"I have severe atopic dermatitis and dupixent has changed that significantly for me. I've been taking it for about 5 weeks now and I felt relief of my itching within days of taking the 1st dose. My skin has started to clear and my confidence is starting to improve. I am super thankful for this drug."


"I have been taking Endocet 7.5/325 for 8 months now in Pain Management, Works very well, Vicodin has nothing on Endocet."


"Lowered cholesterol about 65% as well as Lipitor. Had eventual adverse effects after 1.5 years of use. Caused extreme joint and muscle tendon pain in the fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, thighs and knees. This was with the typical starting dosage for Mevacor. Lipitor has NOT had any side effects for me in over a decade of use. Different statins have different effects on different individuals, but Mevacor's side effects were crippling for me until I discontinued use. About a year later, I began 20 mg of Lipitor."


"It sometimes works when I take 50mg and sometimes I have to take 100mg. I am allergic to Tylenol and there are not many options. This medication makes me feel like I have a buzz and I can't drive when I take it. If I do drive I feel hot, heart starts racing and I almost black out. So I take it in the evening when I am home. I also itch all over. No rash or hives just itching. Sometimes it makes me sleepy and other times I can not sleep. To me as long as it helps I can deal with the itching and buzz feeling. "


"After my sister died when I was 12 years old I had a hard time sleeping. Only only getting 3 hours of sleep at a time. My doctor prescribed Elavil and it worked immediately. I can finally concentrate on task that I could not do before. I am taking 200 mg of Elavil."


"I've been taking this medicine for weight gain, all my life I've been struggling with my weight, I'm 35 years old, 5'4 and weighed 92 lbs and after a month I'm at 110 lbs. This pill is a miracle, I also used to get really bad migraine but since taking this pill that has stopped."


"I used to take Tri-Sprintec but my pharmacy switched me to Tri-Previfem. I have been on it for about a year and at first it was alright but after a few months, I noticed things were starting to change. I started feeling depressed, developing anxiety, and I noticed my libido was declining. I didn't really think much of it but now, it is getting worse and worse. I have been having anxiety attacks, which I never had before taking this. I have been more depressed than ever before. And don't even get me started on my libido. I am only 21 and I never want to have sex any more. I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years and I used to always want to do it. Now, it seems like I have to force myself to do anything and I shouldn't have to do that."


"I lowered my cholesterol approximately 100 points with just the minimum dose of 10mg daily."


"Had trouble losing weight for years. Belviq has been really helpful. Haven't experienced any side effects except a mild headache first couple of day.  Already feeling the difference in both shedding pounds and sleeping better."


"Lexapro has truly changed my life. I take it for Anxiety. I used to have anxiety everyday very bad. My heart would beat fast, and I would get butterflies in my stomach. Before I started taking it, I was very timid. Very shy and not good around big groups of people. I felt "socially awkward" ...After a few months of taking Lexapro I became so much more confident. I do well in big crowds. The only reason I did not give it 10 stars is because sometimes I do still get anxiety, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. I def recommend this drug for anyone who has anxiety. Give it a try. It could change your life like it changed mine.1 other thing I don't like is it does make me a little drowsy no matter what time of the day or night I take it"


"Works 99% of the time"


"I had recently lost just about everything i had but my truck, and was suffering from major depression. Couldn't even find the strength or will to get off my grandmothers couch. The doc gave me the first 3 weeks dosage (2 20mg then up to 40). The very first day I noticed changes. I had my energy back, I wanted to do things again. The side effects didn't kick in until day 4. Nausea, constipation, and overall foul stomach. My stomach made noises that I've never before heard it make. It was putting me in such a great mood that I just pushed through it and in about a week, with lots of antacid and stool softener, it subsided. This medicine has helped me tremendously so far in my battle with depression."


"Last year I was put on Effexor for anxiety and ended up becoming manic. The doctor in the ER put me on this and Epival to stop the rapid cycling mania. Now that I have it under control, they removed the Epival but kept me on this for my extreme anxiety. I take 600mgs at night, it is a pretty high dose, but the higher the dose with this med , the less sedating it is believe it or not. It has been a life saver, yes, the first month was tough, I would wake up slurring my words and very confused, but now after 5 months it works great. I have no gained much weight from it, around 15lbs, which I needed as I was severely  underweight . I am very happy with this medication, it calms my ADD and my anxiety."


"My insurance no longer covers Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO so I had to switch to Sprintec, which I assume is the generic version. The first thing I noticed is that the pills were quite a bit larger which may have no effect on anything at all. I have been experiencing severe nausea, as well as loss of appetite and fatigue. I understand that it probably takes some time for the body to get used to the hormones. However, I am surprised at how strong my symptoms are, considering I never went off BC entirely, just switched brands. I learned early on to take BC medication before bed to ease the nausea, but this really hasn't helped with the Sprintec. I look forward to the improvement in my complexion that others have reported!"


"I was prescribed lexapro for severe generalised anxiety and moderate depression (the depression was a result of the anxiety). I'm on day 16. I experienced some mild nausea and increased anxiety for the first 2 days, and headaches for about 5 days, but after day 5 the only remaining side effects are being jittery on and off, and a feeling of tightness in my chest at times. I started feeling decreased anxiety from day 3, and by day 7 the anxiety was significantly less. The depression got better from about day 5. Overall, at day 16, I feel significantly better and am living my life as I used to, for the most part."


"Implanon is awesome. Being a new breastfeeding mother there are not many alternatives for birth control. With Mirena you have to wait for at least 12 weeks after the birth and it comes with greater risk for infections and PIV but with Implanon you can start right away and its safe for breastfeeding. The first few months I experienced irregular periods which is a normal side effect but now I have no period which is great! I have not experienced any other side effects. I have had it for 8 months now and will definitely continue after the 3 years."


"I also received a sample of Systane Balance from my ophthalmologist when I asked what he would recommend for my dry eyes.  I have found Systane Balance to be the best drops I have ever used for my condition. Previously, I had been using Blink and GenTeal 'Severe Dry Eye Relief' Gel and, while both of these products had provided some relief, neither can compare with Systane Balance. Within a few seconds of my applying the drops for the first time, the stinging in my eyes totally disappeared. The relief provided is also very long-lasting, with the beneficial effects sometimes lasting for more than 24 hours."


Hyperparathyroidism Secondary to Renal Impairment

"I'm healed!"


"It's a miracle and worth every single penny! 9 days of treating my face only at night and it's at least 75% gone. The dark spots on my face especially under one eye and a huge one covering half my forehead were extremely dark and stubborn. I've tried probably every over-the-counter spot remover possible and I didn't get very good results not to mention the amount of money spent. I didn't have anything to lose and found a miracle!"


"Do not use Harvoni. Last review just disappeared. Just don't. Use Zep or wait if u are newly infected and can. Many sites are full of trash because they are secretly run by Gilead."


"5'4 start weight 251 lbs. Started Victoza March 8, 2017 and lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. I was put on this medicine because I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I also have a thyroid disorder that I've been dealing with the pass 10+ years and have had difficulty with weight loss.  It slightly decreases my appetite but I am still hungry. I don't forget to eat, I just don't have the constant hunger.  Most of the time I don't even feel the needle stick. When I do feel it, it's painless. In the first 2 weeks, I may have had some heart burn or acid reflux type symptoms but that was only for a couple of days and not severe, very minor.  I haven't exercised in the two weeks since starting because of another issue but will start back this week."


"My husband and I both used Chantix and quit smoking last July.  Used for 3 months and did not go back. Side effects were the vivid dreams which were awesome.  Terrific product."


"This drug is extremely effective.  If you're not losing a lot of weight very fast like the more amazing stories you read, you are not taking full advantage of it.  It will give you an amazing kick start to a new life that will be very difficult to maintain and that you must be very committed to or you need not bother -- because the weight will come back otherwise. Friends & I lost 20 lbs per month, so 6 months is the max length of time you should be using it. After you are finished with it, the real you will reappear and you will again have to fight all your original demons; hunger pangs, portion control, will power, laziness.  If you can't do that, don't bother to set yourself up for yet another diet failure and heartbreak. OK 2B Hungry :)"


"I have been on this medicine for only about a week. The first day I took it, I got a migraine and the pain relief was similar to a tylenol or an ibuprofen. The next day (day 2) I took my daily dose, (I may either take 1 at a time twice a day or 2 at a time one time per day) so I took two this time and I felt much better than day one. My body adjusted well. My dose that I was given was VERY small to begin but my doctor said he will up my dose in December at my follow up visit. I take it everyday (BUCCAL FILM) which tastes minty but can get stuck on my teeth and takes 30 mins to dissolve. It kicks in about 20-45 mind after taking, but I get the full effect HOURS afterwards. Ok start to a new life without hardcore pain meds. Not great but ok."


"OMG if you are freaking out relax I know your pain but it works.. so here is my experience, my period came Nov 13-19 the 20th I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend (I know stupid) and he finished inside me a little I was freaking out so I sent him to buy me the pill and I took it 2 hours later, 6 days later I was bleeding (apperently a side effect of the pill) I bleed for 6 days from Nov 26 to Dec 1st, I was supposed to get my period Dec 28th and it never came until today 8 days later !!!! I was finally ready to take a pregnancy test and I was freaking out, relax girls this pill is a hormone bomb and it can alter your cycle"


"Plan B works.  After reading some reviews, I was worried, but after talking with a professional, I found that most failures occur when the pill is not taken within the time frame given.  I took the pill with 2 hours of our mishap and had absolutely no side effects.  Good luck and follow the instructions."


"Just had my 1st colonoscopy using Suprep. Ok, here's the deal: It tastes really awful. Really, really awful.  By far, the absolute worst thing I have ever tasted.  One half hour after the first dose   32 oz of water and apple juice, I projectile vomited.  At one point, my system was being flushed from both ends, which indicated that it actually did work.  Oy.  Relief.

I was unable to finish the next morning's prep without having a violent reaction.  I vomited almost immediately about 5 times.  Was completely unable to keep this stuff down.
Still, apparently, I was cleaned out enough to go ahead with the Colonoscopy. If there's an alternative to this horribleness in 10 years, sign me up!
Also- what's up with the price? Outrageous."


"I have fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid arthritis, and have had two back surgeries, the second one 22 years ago. Tramadol did not reduce my neck, shoulder, or lower back pain noticeably. I hadn't recognized that my increased symptoms of nausea, headaches, lethargy, irritable bowels, or poor sleep might be related to the drug. I took myself off Tramadol (no warnings from my doctor about side effects taking Ultram or going off Ultram) and felt worse. More nausea, pain, irritable bowels, headaches turning into migraines. Desperate, I changed my diet. Low carbs, lots of green veggies, high protein, healthy fats, small amounts of whole grain rices. Pain is still there, but I feel more in control. I still take Voltaren and Flexeril."


"after 1 week of using I lost completely my sense of smell,I cannot even smell gas from my stove!Garbage.Please do not buy it!!"


"I found out about this when my mom was having surgery and needed to be cleaned out.. Other laxative did not work but this is AMAZING my best advice is to plan to stay at home and close to the toilet because it gives you the runs. It may not kick in right away I'd say give it 20-30 minutes if not less you will feel a bubbly feeling in your stomach that means it's cleaning your walls and any other back up"


"I've been on Atripla now for 2 months and it's a great drug. There were defiantly some wicked side effects, strange dreams, frequent bathroom trips and mild hallucinations, but after a few weeks they were gone and in 3 weeks I went from a viral load of over 35,000 to undetectable.
"


"Cialis works well for me, take small dose daily as we are pretty active daily now. Yippee. Keeps me slightly tumescent all the time which is cool when you're in the locker room. Good strong erections. A bigger dose once or twice a week works well too though I get more side effects - even then not too bad."


"I started almost 2 months weighing 186  I now weight 170  I don't have any side effects and I have copd I want to go to 130 because I am only 5'2 wish me luck"


"Can I give this pill a zero rating?! I started this pill back in July because I was having migraines with auras and my doctor thought this would help. NO. This pill is awful. I had no migraines but what I experienced was worse: acne breakouts all over my body which I have never experienced before this pill, frequent spotting but no actual period, bloating and cramping all of the time, drastic weight gain, zero sex drive, foggy brain and worst of all it made me so moody. I'm an extremely bubbly person and this pill made me mean and grumpy. I had zero tolerance and frequently snapped at people. I was tired all the time and depressed. I quit this pill a week ago and I feel so much better already. I am my old self again."


"I have been on the patch for about 2 years now, it is really good and simple to use, no weight gain no throwing up. After a year I decided to swap to the pill just to try and had a horrible time. I felt sick all of the time, was too moody and just wanted to be alone, my sex drive plumeted and everything felt horrible. I went back on the patch and everythings been fine since. The only problem is I get a square shaped rash wherever it has been."


"I wrote another review under insomnia but it is caused by anxiety. Trazodone has helped me out although I also take Zoloft during the day and I seem to be much better as well as I sleep at night after years of insomnia and anxiety the combination I feel is working. Of course most people can't take Trazodone during the day and I initially had side effects and on the first night fell into my dresser after getting up to use the bathroom. Initial dose was 150 mg so right away I cut it down to 75mg. I still had side effects such as tremors in the morning for a couple of hours and stopped taking it. After going back to very little sleep I tried it again taking only 50mg. The tremors went away after a few weeks. Now all good.THUMBS UP. TRY A MONTH"


"I got the Liletta iud yesterday which was the day after my last period ended. Insertion was easy but painful! Took about 10 minutes I didn't take any medication before hand. Pain is similar to an early labor contraction. Relaxing your tailbone will help a lot. After insertion I got up and walked out of the office feeling fine. Tiny cramps, but I think it was only from having my cervix dilated, kind of a residual pain. After making it home an hour later and using the rest room there was a tiny amount of blood on the tp. Looked kinda like strawberry lemonade XD, again I think it was from being dilated. Today I feel perfectly normal no pain no bleeding just another day. I hope it lasts."


"I've had Nexplanon for about 3 months now and even though it has caused some obstacles, I recommend it. I got my Nexplanon in early March and after it was inserted, I did not have my period for about a month. After that month, I had a 5 week period, which my doctor stopped by putting me on the pill for 2 weeks. Again, my period started after a couple of weeks, so my doctor gave me more birth control. It was okay for a while, but I just started my period again. The insertion didn't bother me - I had a dance recital that night and I did just fine. Although the periods have been off and on, they have been much lighter than my periods not on birth control. I recommend this form of BC because it is very reliable."


"I have been on Citalopram 20 mg for close to 2 months now. I did not experience any side effects other than being a bit tired for the first 3 days on 10 mg and a few minor headaches. Normally, I got every possible side effect possible when I tried a new medicine. I'm not sure why this one was different. Before I started this medication, I was experiencing severe panic episodes daily and sometimes even panic attacks. It was to the point where I was avoiding almost everything just to reduce my chances of being anxious/panicked. I started it and I do NOT regret it. It took me about 1 month to feel ANY effect at all (So don't lose hope). But now, at 2 months, it just keeps getting better every day. I can say that I'm almost anxiety FREE! TRY THIS MEDICINE."


"This is the worst pill ever! It broke my entire face out. It made my acne sooooo much worst. I'm so upset with what  has done to my face. I wish I didn't go on this pill at all seriously don't do it. It's so awful."


"This medication was fantastic for relieving pain. It was more effective than oxycodone or hydrocodone. I had absolutely no side effects but one. The one side effect was just too much to deal with. Basically, this medication took away all libido and initiative and motivation. On the positive side it made me feel relaxed, sedated, and a sense of well being with absolute 100% pain relief at all times, but I may as well have been a zombie. This medication made me not care about much. Normally having a high sex drive, I had no libido at all, lost complete interest in my salsa dance lessons, and zero interest in going out. That's not living life. I prefer to stick to my hydros in that case."


"This is the second month I have been on Reclipsen, I had to change from the pill I took before due to breakthrough issues. I have noticed that I have very bad headaches after taking the medication. I had severe migraines last week during my period week, even though my period didn't start until a day after the migraine. I have never had such intense side effects of taking birth control but I don't know why else I would have such headaches. I'm starting to feel like there is no birth control out there for me. I wish there was birth control for men instead!"


"So I got the nexplanon 6 months ago. The insertion wasn't bad. I didn't bruise either. I got a period about a week later and then nothing for 5 months.. I have been bleeding for almost 30 days now!!! My doctor said use a birth control pill to help the period become consistent. I mean doubling up on hormones is just a great idea, right??? HELL NO. I started taking Mononessa on top of the Nexplanon a couple days and it has been the worst decision ever. I feel so nauseas I can't focus. I just want to puke. The nexplanon also gave me bad headaches. But with the Mononessa it's worse. The bleeding is a little better now but what's the point? I'm on two birth controls. As soon as I stop Mononessa the bleeding will return. Removing nexplanon soon!!"


"This was one of the only medicines that helped my dyshidrotic eczema breakouts on my hands. Oddly enough the other thing was over the counter Lamisil even though its an antifungal it worked also. This medicine works very well to control the itch and get rid of the eczema."


"I use it along with other medicines to treat my severe Bipolar Disorder. It helps me sleep and keeps the "thoughts" associated with this disorder in check. I'm not constantly thinking bad, self destructive thoughts when I'm taking it. The only bad thing about it is the grogginess and the always hungry feeling."


"This is my first experience with any form of birth control and it's been HORRIBLE.  Today is day 12 of my pack and I am quitting.  All Taytulla has done is given me a 12 day long period and broken me out TERRIBLY.  I am not waiting a month, let alone 3 months, to see how my body adjusts to the hormones.  My skin went nuts within the first week so I know for a fact that it is birth control that caused it.  So, so bad."


"Just scheduled an appointment to have the nexplanon removed out of my arm. Not only has this medicine completely destroyed my libido, it has put a complete strain on my relation due to my refusal for affection. I used to love affection and I was such a loving person. Now, I can't even stand to be touched. I'm so emotional and hormonal it's unreal. My mood changes so quickly. I go from cry to screaming to happy within ten minutes. Also my period has not stopped and it's so heavy I change my tampon atleast every hour. I have spent more money on tampons in the past three months than I have in my entire life of buying them seeing that I go through a box every two days. I spend about $75-$80 on tampons. I'd rather take my chances with condoms."


"After about a week on this birth control I started to get awful acne and had to stop taking it after two weeks. According to my doctor, a side effect for some people is worsening complexion. It also made it very difficult to sleep and wake up in the morning. All of these side effects stopped a few days after I was taken off the pills."


"I'm 39 yrs old 5'6" & 239.4lbs. I just started Adipex-P 8 days ago-- 8/12/15. The 1st day I had so much energy I couldn't contain myself. That has calmed down. I drink way more water than I use too. I find that it helps with the dry mouth and chewing gum as well. I have NOT weighed myself yet.. a little scared too. But I will on day 10. My goal is to loose at least 50 lbs . 175-180 seem to be a good weight for me. I feel super small at that size.  I lost 70 lbs on my own about 3 years ago. I was 256 at my heaviest. I don't exercise at ALL. Just being honest.  Severe PAD doesn't allow for much of that. I have 2 mths on this. SO EXCITED!!!"


"I was struggling with really bad cystic hormonal acne and frequent white heads. I looked horrible and felt depressed inside. I couldn't look anyone in the eyes. Acne has really sunked my self esteem. When I was on this for a week.. let me just say.. This works!! (For me) I tried everything there is.. Proactiv, antibiotics, eating better, going to a naturalist. This pill, in 2-3months, cleared my acne. It was like a miracle. I'm so thankful for it and it only costs me $8. It saved my life basically!!"


"It works excellently."


"This is my go to cough medicine, it absolutely works the best for bronchitis cough or sinus infection. I have experienced headaches with this but found that if I drink a lot of water when I take it, that helps. We call it super syrup in our house."


"I have used Exforge for 3 weeks now and found that I have nausea and unpredictable sweating that is starting to really bother me."


"I have been taking Tenuate for about 3 weeks now and I have lost 10 lbs so far. That was without watching my diet too much and little to no exercise. I asked the doctor to put me on something to help because I might have to have back surgery. I can't do a lot of cardio aside from walking. He put me on this and I've been feeling so much better. I sleep great, no side effects aside from dry mouth and I do get dizzy quite a bit. Definitely makes me not want to eat. In fact if I go to eat something an hour or so after taking it I feel like I'll get sick if I keep eating. I know it trigger's nerve's in your brain so everyone's reaction will be a little bit different. I don't feel like I'm over energized or "spacey". 20 lbs to go!"


"I feel fantastic I feel a massive change in myself I'm less aggressive anxious depressed and agitated I'm more patient with things and people as I suffered with social anxiety I'm more outgoing and thinking clearer I feel on top of the world and have lost 13kg as my appetite has decreased rapidly"


"I have no problem going to sleep (9 or 10).  I'll will quite frequently wake up at 1:00am or 2:00am and cannot get back to sleep. When this happens I take 10mg and I will quickly go back to sleep until 4:30am or 5:00am which is the time I get up. If I get 6 to 7 hour of total sleep without waking up I won't take the Sonata ."


"It obviously affects everyone differently. I've been taking Fluoxetine for about 10 years 20mg per day.  Yes it has some side effects which are difficult to anticipate and manage, it can make me overly excited, and at times a little euphoric, which arrives quickly making it difficult to contain. On the other side I suffered from manic depression and I used to happily go into a black hole in a blind rage, and the medication just stopped that completely so I feel like it's a very positive trade off.  I do get very sleepy, and tired so honestly I just sleep more? I tried reducing my dosage a couple of times over the years I've been taking this but could not handle the withdrawal."


"It has worked very well for me. I have insurance but I have to pay $202 a month for 60mg."


"I am 66 years old and have had a number of colonoscopies.  The anesthesiologist has never used Propofol on me before.  This was the 1st time that I have ever been totally knocked for the procedure.  My colonoscopy was last Monday, 9/11/17.  I have had one day since then that I felt normal.  My 1st reaction was arriving home totally out of this world and after making it to the bed, sleeping for the next 12 house with my clothes on.  When I woke up I had a severe headache across my face.  Needless to say I did not go back to work until Wednesday.  Wednesday, I felt normal until the end of the day when the headache emerged now in the crown of my head.  Thursday and Friday, the headaches have continued. However, I am pretty much normal now."


"I've been on Atripla for about 2 years with very good results!  The only thing that is slightly annoying are the food restrictions, which can interfere with going to bed when I want to because I work a varied schedule and sometimes don't get a chance to eat dinner until late and the way I feel after taking it varies too much to risk taking it during the day or early evening.  However if that's the only problem then I'll take it over having to take multiple doses any day!"
