"I have suffered with migraine since I was 12 yr old, and I'm now in my 50's. I've had every head exam and test possible as well as tried a myriad of medications over the years for treatment. From taking preventive type things daily to treating the pain only during the headache. Nothing has given me the swift relief as this drug. It seems to give me complete relief within 30-40 minutes, without any side effects (that I've noticed). I took immitrex for years with little relief and horrible side effects. It would make me feel dizzy, weird and always made me nauseous. So I stopped taking it. Now with the Maxalt, I'm thrilled to know I can take it without worry of unwanted side effect. Thank you Maxalt! Finally migraine relief! "


"I've been on Taytulla for 3 months now after my pharmacy told me Minastrin 24 is being discontinued. I had a smooth transition from Minastrin to Taytulla, meaning no break through bleeding, but my actual periods have been a lot heavier and my cramps a lot worse on Taytulla. In addition, I've experienced periodic breast tenderness and am sometimes overly sensitive. I have also gained five pounds after starting this pill (105 lbs to 110 lbs). I'm sure no one else can notice the change in weight, but I certainly do when my shorts no longer fit me. I am going to give it one more month and then will consider switching to another generic of Minastrin."


"Addendum to June 13th post:
I AM SO HAPPY TO REPORT-  My A1c is down from 9.1 in May to 7.2 as of today!!!!  That's after 6- once weekly injections, smaller portion sizes, some weight loss, exercise and diligence on my part.  I'm still taking the .75 dosage of Trulicity, a decreased dosage of  Levemir at night;  Novolog (as needed) prior to meals.   I'm hoping to have the insulins discontinued at some point.  No issues with nausea or diarrhea.  My belly is tender or aches at times, but not painful.  I still experience occasional low blood sugars that require I keep a snack on hand.  I plan to mention these symptoms to my Endo. tomorrow.  My fasting blood sugars run  <130;  2-hour blood sugars (post meals) <150.
Overall, I'm pleased."


"Do not stress out. I was in your position and I would re read reviews hoping for the best but thinking the worst, me and my boyfriend had sex and the condom broke, we took plan b about 15 minutes after, but it takes 10 minutes for the sperm to reach an egg. I was stressing out and thought I was pregnant but the faster you take it, the better. I am not pregnant :))) But do not stress out because that will delay your period. I searched up remedies on how to get periods if late and I drank a cup of warm milk before bed and the next morning my period started :) ( but you will get light bleeding at first which is normal.) I bled for 4 days and then went away and came back for about 8 days. Rather have my period then be pregnant at 16."


"I got this about half through my sophomore year because everything I used never got rid of my acne. I just asked my doctor and she prescribed me whatever she thought was best. Took about 2 weeks to start working, then boom my acne was gone. I occasionally got black heads but nothing like before. I was so happy. I started getting rid of most of my acne scars with fade cream since I had no acne anymore. But as of a few months ago (over a year of using it) it stopped working. I use it as I usually would, but acne is coming back. I guess my skin is now immune to it/built a tolerance, so it kind of sucks. Now I have to go back and get a difference topical gel, but hey this was a miracle while it lasted."


"Fifty six year old male. Obese but otherwise healthy. Rapaflo 8mg once a day for symptom associated with BPH. Rapaflo efficacy is measurably effective. Serious downside is decreased ejaculation intensity AND retrograde ejaculation. Dry as a bone. Talk about affecting quality of life. "


"My experience with Implanon has been a good one. All the mishaps I've had were things I'd been warned about by my doctor.
Negativs: Bled for the first three weeks, sporadically spot (particularly when I gain a few pounds), a little loss of sex drive
Positives: Simple, easy, effective

I'll elaborate a bit on the negatives. After the first three weeks I stopped having a period for about 4 months. During this time I lost about 10 pounds (not because of the birth control but because I was trying to). Whenever I go over around 130 I become susceptible to spotting. With the sex drive, I would assume not having the hormone boost during menstration is to blame. Sex is still good and I still want it, it's just a little change."


"This stuff is terrible! I have been on it for a very long time and had a lot of side effects like weight gain but the worst one was the dry mouth. I would drink 4 bottles of water every night and eat hard candy and spend most of my time in the bathroom.  I also wanted to eat everything in sight. My doctor finally took me off this stuff and I'm on another drug like it but without all the side effects. I'm also feeling a lot better mentally."


"Throughout my whole pregnancy and even after (my son is 5 months old) I was under a lot of emotional stress. About two and a half months after he was born I started having what I thought were heart attacks so I went to the hospital. Come to find out I have severe panic attacks and saw my PCP the next day and she prescribed me Paxil. The only things I've noticed is that I've lost a lot of weight. I was a healthy 120 and am now 109 lbs. I also bruise extremely easily and could sleep all day long. I still have slight panic attacks but all in all, they have pretty much gone away. I also have times where I seem to be very focused. I highly recommend it to anyone."


"This works well if I take it when the Migraine is just starting.  It will stop the migraine but I may still get a head ache but it wont be debilitating."


"I had been dealing with a bad urinary tract infection for a whole week but after an hour of my first dosage I felt like me again."


"After being on an obscene amount of prednisone without working, I switched GI's and he prescribed me Salofalk.   When I know a flare is coming, I can take a few salofalks over the course of a few days and things usually clear up.  Was a life saver!"


"I have had asthma for over 24 years and had not been successfully treated until I was prescribed Accolate. The only side effect I have experienced is diminished appetite, which is minimal. I would recommend it for asthmatics who have not been able to tolerate, or have not had successful treatment with inhalers or nebulizers."


"I am writing to share my experience.  The pill worked great for me in the period and mood sense but I developed a chronic cough.  The doctors kept telling me it was unrelated and I began taking all kinds of allergy meds which did little to help.  Then inhalers which helped but caused other issues.  This went on for 4 years.  I now am off the pill and the cough has stopped.  I can't believe no one else has ever had this problem."


"I've been a type1 for 3 years now. My glucose levels haven't been well controlled.My last A1C was 12,the best was an 8. My work hours fluctuate, taking a shot, or eating" at the same time everyday is near impossible. I've just switched from Lantus a few weeks ago, had to cut my dose from 30 to 26. Tresiba is more powerful, causing lows. Not complaining, just a little scary, especially at night. It's trial and error, as the whole "my pancreas stopped making insulin, so I have to manage the "mimic the natural production"" thing. I haven't experienced any side effects, as I've been reading in the thread. Think I have a winner.  I have an endo apt soon.

Luck!"


"I have been taking seroquel for three years and it has changed my life for the good. When I first started taking it I was tired but after about a week I balanced out."


"My husband asked for something to help with poopin  (he never needs help as he is very regular.  I gave him what I take Dulcolax little 5mg gold pills 2 pills at 11:30 pm His 1s

after the first poop this am and after breakfast he got nauseas

it has continued all day with finally taking pepto bismal to help cramps (which will turn your stool watery or not very dark to black

We thought he had food poisoning as I have taken dulcolax for years with no problem

Then I searched and to my surprise this Dr recommended laxative has made his Memorial Day weekend suck..2 colonoscopy no problem

He had the shivers, shakes, projectile vomiting after drinking water and terrible stomach cramps first time ever I have seen this Big man spend most of day in be"


"Hi There I've been on Saxenda for 4 weeks. I am up to 2.4 and have lost 5.6kg's. The first day or so after increasing the dosage i feel nauseous and when i eat i get a sore stomach but this passes after the second or third day. Overall I am very happy with the results so far."


"I rate Mobic a 10! For the past four months I have been in tremendous pain and could barley walk, sit, or get out of the bath tub and my hands were extremely stiff. I also could not sleep at night due to pain. Mobic has truly helped me. I have my life back! It is truly incredible. I do however take Prilosec to coat my stomach before taking it. I've only been taking this medicine for two days. I have NO pain."


"Yaz didn't make me gain weight and it's helped with my acne. I notice people saying that this caused moodiness. I was diagnosed with depression a few months ago and also inability to concentrate a few months back as well so because of that I take Prozac and Adderall. Those two pills have made me not moody while on Yaz. I suggest looking into whether or not you have depression and an inability to concentrate if you experience moodiness while on Yaz."


"Xanax works almost immediately when I'm having a panic attack.  I have tried a lot of different "newer" antidepressants and they always have weird side effects. Then the doctor says to keep taking them for weeks to work. "


"I tried Mirvaso as recommended by my dermatologist.  He gave me samples to try.  The first few days using it, I was so excited.  My face looked clear of redness and "normal".  I loved what I saw and thought there was finally something out there that would combat the redness for good.  After a few days at night when I washed off the medication, I noticed that my face looked redder than ever.  It looked red like a tomato and a little swollen.  I continued using the medication thinking it was my skin adjusting to it.  Wrong!  The redness only continued and got worse.  I stopped using Mirvaso for good.  Hopefully others have a better outcome than I did."


"I really love the Nuvaring. I never noticed any symptoms or side effects and have been using it for about 5 years. I really like that I can do the extended cycling so I can skip periods. I also used to have very unpredictable periods and getting on Nuvaring makes them very reliable. I would recommend it over the pill anytime because it is a lot less hassle and you don't have to remember every day. That makes me feel really protected. It is great but it also can be a bit costly if you don't have good/any insurance or the ability to get it through planned parenthood program."


"Warning please don't use otrivin.
As your well wisher I would like to draw your attention towards the side effects of otrivin.
It's been 10 years now that I'm using nose drops as I had deviated septum and oversized turbino. In 2015 I had an operation of septoplasty and turbinoplasty. Along with this I have allergic rhinitis so I started using otrivin as nasal decongestant but somehow I got addicted to this otrivin
it gives you a nice, clear open nose. But you know you get rebound congestion after a while. Once you use otrivin then it will keep your nose open for 9 hours but once the effect is gone you face the same problem but this time your nose blows up inside t twice the size it was.  Stop it before it gets too late don't suffer like me..."


"Going into getting my first Depo shot I was excited. My periods were excruciating painful and I needed something to make my periods more bearable. My first shot my period stopped and it was amazing. Unfortunately, I started eating more and I became very moody. My hormones were extremely out of wack. By the time my third shot was due everyone I knew was convincing me to stop the shot because of how negatively I have been effected. I went through with the third shot hoping it would get better in time but I only got worse and didn't want to wait for it to get better. I stopped the depo shot and didn't get the fourth injection. By the time I stopped I had gone from 115 lbs to 170 lbs in that short time. It ruined my body."


"Following on from previous comment, I forgot to mention this medication is working wonders for my alcohol dependency. I used to drink an entire bottle of wine a night, now I have one or two very small glasses! It's incredible for someone with a long documented history of alcohol abuse. Marvellous stuff!"


"Only allergy pill that worked for me!  Tried other medication, but they do not work as well.  Very disappointed that it is no longer available."


"Prescribed Belviq about three months ago- April 2016, 10 mg twice a day. Went to the doctor two months later and had lost 15 lbs from 266 to 251. Again, I went two weeks later and I was down to 246.  Had some side effects such as fatigued, dry mouth but just drink more water.  Does a great job of curbing my appetite-making me feel full on less food. Also seemed to change my taste buds. Doesn't at all agree with Alcohol. This is the first drug that has helped me lose weight. This is important since I am on estrogen blockers due to Breast Cancer and had a hard time losing weight.  Will continue on this medicine."


"I started this pill about 2 months ago and during both months I bled in the middle of the pack. My doc insists its just breakthrough bleeding and that I am still protected but the bleeding is hard to deal with. It's about as heavy as a period and it lasts at least 10 days! I'm considering switching because of this. Other than that, no side effects, maybe a slight shift in mood... I'm a little more agitated than usual."


"I have been on Implanon for 6 years. Before getting it I tried every other birth control excluding an iud. This has been the best one I have been on. I do not have periods, except when I start a new diet and exercise and start to lose weight. Then I get one and I have pretty bad cramping but really light bleeding. I have not gained any weight that can't be explained by my own fault. The only things I would say is a bad side effect for me is that I have no sex drive at all, and I also have a lot of dryness when I do try to have sex. Those are my only two complaints. I love not having to remember to take a pill every day and I love that it lasts three years. I'll be getting my third implant later this month."


"It only made the pain in my arm mild.  It did not go away.  I am in school and do a lot of typing and my arm, shoulder and sometimes fingers experience lots of pain so my doctor gave me these pills.  They do not work well for me because I still feel the aches and pain just not as bad.  When I take two, I get sleepy, take a nap then I can operate almost pain free for at least 4-5 hours."


"I am 20 years old and not looking to have children any time soon! I am sexually active and cannot use the pill because I have had a blood clot before. However, I have MS so it is important that I don't get pregnant because of the meds I am on, therefore, I chose the IUD.
Getting the IUD inserted was a breeze! I have a high pain tolerance, it only felt like a small pinch. My experience with it so far have been a nightmare unfortunately. I've only had the IUD for a month so far and I've bled everyday since! I get horrible stomach pain and cramps at times. I hope that this soon gets better or I will just go back to only using condoms."


"It's been exactly 2 months since I started taking Contrave. I am a 46 year old woman who started out at 274 lbs. I have lost 37 lbs and now currently weight 237. I used to binge eat a lot and lived a very sedentary lifestyle. I thankfully did not have any side effects other than about three nights in week 3 where I had a difficult time sleeping. I make sure I drink 16 ounces of water when I take my pills as I had been told this helps with nausea. I was surprised that within 2 weeks of starting I no longer had constant cravings for chocolate and other junk food. I also started off at 5 minutes every night riding on my bike / elliptical machine. I now average an hour 5 nights a week and sleep better than ever at night. I love this medication!"


"Paxil is a miracle drug for me.  I would have panic attacks to the point I had a hard time driving.  Thoughts of doom and panic would control me.  This drug has relieved just about all of it.  I have had 0 panic attacks.  Although I still get some breakthrough anxiety, I can now enjoy my life due to this drug.  I highly recommend it."


"During the month of November I started on the birth control pills because I suffer from painful periods (dysmenorrhea). The first week of taking the pills I see no obvious side effects. I started noticing that my discharge was changing and I would have itching like I have a yeast infection. I made an appointment with my (GYN), I did indeed have a yeast infection I was prescribed either the diflucan 150mg or the
terconazole 3 day cream. I felt normal once the treatment was over. I was told by the doctor to keep taking the pills. So I did. I got another yeast infection again. So i got frustrated and stopped taking the pills all together. I can say that i will not be trying those pills ever again."


"Ok so I was on the pill at an early age of 16 for PCOS syndrome till about 20 yrs old. I went cold turkey at 20- till 24 and decided to get back on when I got in a serious relationship. It was good the first week or 3. No weight gain, larger breasts, no mood swings...up until the last week of the month. I began have SEVERE anxiety, constant ALL day nausea, and horrible mood swings. I felt so sick everyday and I even went to the hospital. I can honestly say this was the worst experience on birth control I ever had. The stomach sickness and constant hand shaking and anxiety feeling was enough for me to stop this mid packet!"


"I loved this birth control. I've been on 5 or so different pills but this is the best so far. Only complaint is the intense cramps around the time of my period. My period last 6 days with normal bleeding and painful cramps. The cramps are bad but not strong enough to stop taking them especially because they only occur every 3 months. I think the reason for my positive time on the pills was because I've been on steady birth control for 4 years straight.

Sad news I've had to change to non estrogen birth control because of my high blood pressure. I miss this so much lol"


"Everybody has a different chemical composition, what works for you may not work for others. For me this was legit mind and focus booster. I would be unemployed if it wasn't for this."


"Controlled HBP, but had diarrhea every morning when taking medication at  night as instructed, followed by bloating the rest of the day. After 6 months the doctor has prescribed a different medication."


"I was put on 100mg, which was far too much for me.  I would be tired and in a fog the next day even after a very restful night's sleep.  My doctor told me to split the pills in half and I still got the sleep I needed without the severe drowsiness the next day.  Now, I don't have to take it every single night to sleep."


"Took this about 10 minutes ago.  At 1:25ishpm on Feb 26 2017.  Will let you know how it works later."


"I recently switched to Beyaz and since then I've had awful breakouts on my face. I never got pimples before when I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen.  I'm switching back."


"I am on my third week of treatment. Just four weeks ago I was apathetic and depressed. I had been treated for depression with an antidepressant. After two weeks my depression was all but gone. I noticed an increase in strength, libido and initiative. I have taken care of maintenance my home needed in two years in two weeks. I use mine a little different. I use the 5g 50mg daily. I am glad that my psychologist suggested blood work for low Testosterone. It was the correct diagnosis."


"Consistent control of symptoms all day."


"Have been given this several times for pain, and it never does anything for the pain. The only thing these cause is exhaustion, so I guess they would be good for sleeping."


"My body responded very negatively to this medicine and I had to be pulled off of it. I had a lot of side effects with no relief for my generalized anxiety disorder it was prescribed for. Side effects: tremors, blurred vision, ringing in ears, constipation, irregular period, insomnia, nightmares, light headedness, coldness in extremities, suicidal feelings, murderous feelings, cloudy head, weight gain, nausea, metallic tasting dry mouth."


"I have read all the comments and Lithium seems to work. My doctor started me on 450mgs a day for a week and then wants me to take 900mgs a day after a week. In addition to that I take 300mgs of Wellbutrin  and occasionally 0.5 mgs of Klonopin. "


"I was skeptical that this could work, but thankfully I was proven wrong! I will definitely keep this in my medicine cabinet."


"Excellent blood panels following regular monthly injections.  I’ve been on it for 24 months with the past 8 months presenting with lower back/ side pain strong burning sensation I mistook for lower back strain. Icing gave no relief so I stopped for 6 weeks and back pain subsided.  I recently took another injection and 2 days later my lower back pain has returned along with strong burning pain in my right thigh down to my kneecap very strong stinging sensation. Very disappointing. Doc states he may try me on another alternative therapy and stop Repatha ."


"I've only been on celexa for a month, I am 5'5" and I was 112lbs and they put me on 10mg, but it didn't help at all, it made me start having panic attacks and anxiety attacks again I'm also on klonopin ((1mg twice a day)) for panic disorder and adderall ((20mg XR in the morning and 10mg IR at lunch time)) for inattentive adhd), I haven't been any less depressed, and I'm 99lbs now and they just doubled my dose to see if that will work. I really hope it does, because right now I absolutely hate it. I've been eating more than I normally do but losing weight rapidly, and I'm already underweight. Celexa so far makes me feel like I'm on the verge of falling asleep almost 24/7; the rest of the time is when I'm having anxiety and panic attacks."


"I have been taking Otezla for about 8 weeks.  I experienced nausea, frequent bowel movements, headaches, and a lack of appetite although the severity tapered off after a few weeks, they still continue. As I did more research into others who have taken it I have experienced 2 trips to the ER due to inflammation in my feet and I feel so fatigued and don't want to do anything...but I feel better if I move around a bit...but I get wore out pretty easy and then my feet are killing me. I'd like to say I feel better than when I started... and in some ways I do.  I used to feel like my joints were fusing together, I couldn't walk up or down stairs, and I couldn't open a bottle of water. I feel a lot looser now and can do some things. I still hurt."


"75 mg made me uncoordinated, cross-eyed and VERY sleepy.  Did help the neuropathy but went back to gabapentin on which I have no side effects at 200mg x 3 a day.  It doesn't completely take the tingling away, but enough so that I can work."


"I want to share this so others can protect themselves. I used Microgestin 21 (generic Loestrin 21) for one pack. I do not have hair loss on either side of my family. No one in my family has lost their hair. I began losing hair rapidly. Within a week it was enough to think maybe I should try rogaine to counter it as much as possible. I just switched to Zarah today. Fingers crossed that it helps undo what the other drug did."


"I have been using Rhinocort for approximately 8 years. Using two squirts of Rhinocort twice a day  stops nasal drip.  Nasal drip causes me to cough constantly.  I have never experienced any side effects whatsoever using Rhinocort."


"The best pain reliever choice for me!"


"I started taking this after my son was born because I am breastfeeding. I've been on the medication for about 7 months now. Unfortunately, last month I had two periods! Two full periods, not spotting. This appears to be happening again this month, and I just can't have my period every other week. It's too messy and exhausting, on top of having a one year old."


"I started on saxenda March 2017 I aren't hungry, I have to make myself eat and experience a little constipation and I only lost 3 lbs I will continue on it and I will be doing more exercise and running longer miles to see if my weight lost go down more than 3 lbs any suggestions"


"First off, let me say the 9 is being given because I am not using this as traditional birth control. Love the regularity, love that my cramps are gone, love that I can adjust my cycle if I have a special event, love that I have had zero weight gain (have lost weight but that is due to diet/exercise), and love that I still feel like myself on this pill. Monthly I do still experience some bloating and PMS, but compared to my previous almost PMDD symptoms this is great.  The moods are much more controllable and I feel less emotional. I would recommend taking the "inactive" iron pills - when I didn't take them my periods were heavier.  Good luck!"


"A couple weeks after getting this put in I was spotting constantly for about a month. That was really annoying, but that was only the start. After that stopped, I noticed I was always super moody. During all this my sex drive had been dwindling, but I didn't want to take the Implanon out because I heard to try it for at least six months to see if the side effects would go away like the spotting did. I regret not taking it out because it got way, way worse. A couple more months went by and I was depressed on top of my moodiness, and my sex drive had died completely. My boyfriend and I were doing horribly because of all this. "

"Just started.  Feels geeky and doesn't last long.  Need clorazepate and propanolol to calm down. Definite crash. But reduces fear and sleepiness and increases confidence and heart rate.  10 mg IR. Not sure will continue, nurse practitioner said call after 30 days."


"I've been on Depo for 15 years, I initially started it for birth control, but have since stayed on it because it controls my PMDD. I went off of it once in this time frame, and my PMDD came roaring back, along with my periods. Other than the time I went off Depo, I have not had a period in those 15 years and my PMDD is fully under control while on it. I have not experienced any negative side effects."


"My 83 yo father was in danger of losing his life. Has Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator  (ICD), stomach problems and prostate cancer in past. He had developed a Blood clot behind ICD.
He deteriorated within 3 days of taking this drug, couldn't walk and bleeding out through back passage, kidneys and we don't know where else as still waiting for test results. His lactate levels 7.3 on admittance to hospital; a sustained 5 has a survival rate of only 11% so dad lucky thus far.
He has received 4 units of blood, oxygen, saline solution to try to flush it out.
This medication must be administered with caution, looking at previous conditions and closely monitored. My dad deteriorated within 72 of starting it. The external symptoms are: listlessness, waxy skin, breathing difficulties, paralysis of lower limbs."


"I've taken this pill for 3 days now and the odor in my vagina is  still there.  When will this odor go away?!!"


"This was prescribed to treat a case of pediatric otitis media. It helped to partially clear the infection but did not completely eradicate it. "


"I've been on bentyl for a little over a month now. At first it was great, helped with the painful attacks I was having. Now I'm so dizzy from it that I can't function even as a stay at home mom. I can't drive to my Dr appt and all I do is sit at home in a daze."


"This is just an amazing medicine. I started on this many years ago in the UK and the relief it brought was just plain wonderful. After losing 120lbs in weight, I found the medical condition pretty much went away, but with a lot of stress recently and putting 30lbs back on the reflux is back. So is the Zantac, thank goodness. Highly recommended medication which I have always kept handy (just in case)."


"Thanks for the feedback. It has helped me feel better. I'm getting married in a day and a half and woke up this morning with an outbreak! I was so bummed out, so I made an appointment with the doctor immediately. She prescribed Valtrex, and it has been 7 hours since I took the 2 grams and its already starting to work! I hope I wake up and the blisters are all gone! "


"Unfortunately I allowed other reviews to turn my opinion prior to taking suprep. I have had the gastric sleeve and was afraid of all the fluid intake that I had to swallow. Once I started it I took others opinions and sucked on a lemon wedge every time I would take a drink from a straw at the back of my throat. Hardly tasted a thing. I was also worried about my small stomach when I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning to take my second dose again I had no problems with the straw and with the lemon wedge. Instead of drinking just plain water I drink Gatorade and Hint water and had no problems keeping it down. I had a panic attack because of all the negative reviews before I started the prep. If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to help."


"I chose to get the Paragard IUD after being on the pill for the last 20 years. After so long taking hormones, I wanted to be hormone free. I've never had a child, so I was warned that the insertion was going to be very painful. There were only two instances during the process that lasted about 5 seconds each that I experienced sharp pain. I did feel slightly shaky afterwards, so my doctor told me to just relax for 10 minutes, which I did.

The cramps I had for the rest of the day were pretty intense, but by the next day they were 90% better and by the day after that they were completely gone. So far, I haven't experienced any other adverse effects, but I suppose I will have to wait until next month to see how my first cycle goes with it."


"Was put on bystolic for high blood pressure induced by stress. This is a horrible medication.  I was only on 12.5 mg once a day and side effects were intolerable.  Extreme flushing and feeling of anxiety. ...stomach pain.  My blood pressure actually spiked after taking this medication.  Also caused bad insomnia.  I was in bed awake until 4 a.m. for 3 nights in a row when I finally decided to go my doctor and got switched to another medication.  Seems doctors are always trying to push the new and latest version of drugs, just to report back to the drug  companies.  Will never take it again."


"I was put on Aciphex after antibiotic/PPI treatment for H.pylori and it does really work.  It has been 1 year and I can feel the difference.  The doctor put me on 12 straight weeks of it at first and now am taking it 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off, etc. and it is keeping the reflux and pain away."


"I've been using this medication since February 2009 when I was diagnosed and I can't complain much. Most problems I have is a small amount of chills after injection the day after, maybe a little tired, but in 1-2 days, I'm good to go. I've found some benefits too, cognition is better, small difference, but still it's something. I've a feeling of normality that I've not had in years, not sure if that's the medicine though or just knowing what the heck has been wrong with me all this time."


"First day on Contrave! I picked up my prescription at lunchtime and started it then. Within the first hour I was getting a little blurred vision and had a very dry mouth.  Also my co workers noticed that I stopped talking as much as I was and I was not in as good of a mood. I began to yawn a few times in the first hour. I am usually a high energy person and was just fine earlier so this was odd. By the time 3:00 came around I was begging for me bed. Nausea started and was getting bad.  I came home instead of working out and passed out for 2 whole hours!  I never ever take naps. I'm concerned to take it again tomorrow but I will to see if this gets any better.  My Dr. Said it would give me energy....that is not the case what so ever with me."


"My wife has had rheumatoid arthritis for the past 30 years. This is the only drug that treats the root cause and not the symptoms. In only a short time she has seen a remarkable improvement. In Canada you need to go thought a lengthy approval process to have this drug covered under insurance. It is expensive, but it works. Hopefully the cost will come down as it is proven out and more people start to use it.
"


"Was on Androgel for 4 months, noticed very little difference in libido, energy, etc. At 45 years old, I was hoping for a bit more benefit. I decided after consulting with my doctor to get injections. This too has been somewhat underwhelming. I am not looking for huge improvement in mood, libido, etc., but I can't honestly say I have seen much difference on it or off it."


"Since I started on this medication, I stopped having seizures. It has been 2 years now. It is great medicine. "


"This is an exceptional medicine. I have been on it for only a couple of weeks. I have tried Seroquel, trazodone, Ambien and none of these have worked but alprazolam is a miracle medicine."


"I started Harvoni on 2/23/15. I'm on my 6th week. The side effects are headaches, brain fog, body ache, tiredness. My  first lab results I received on 4/1/15 my doctor read the report to me and it showed no detection of
Hep C. I was so excited I hugged my doctor. I had Hep C for 30 years. I've tried other treatments and they failed.When I started Harvoni on 2/23/15 my HepC levels were over ten million. I have 6 more weeks left to go with treatment. I'm getting through this by pushing myself and being active, it's very hard but you have to push. That's how I'm overcoming the side effects. Thank You Gilead, for making this drug possible and effective for a cure for Hep C."


"In theory, it would have been the perfect contraceptive, but I'm scheduling an appointment to take it out because of rapid weight gain.

With the IUD, my periods have been easy to manage, and far in between each other (about 2-3 months). It would last about 3 days, but the flow was very light. Pink on the toilet paper, like spotting.

BEFORE Mirena, my highest recorded weight was 170 lbs. I ate junk all day and never exercised. After I began working out and eating clean, I dropped down to a stable 130 lbs. AFTER Mirena, noticed a slight weight gain, and almost 2 years later, I now weigh 190 lbs!!! I'm running miles every day, eating well and I'm STILL gaining weight.

I need it out immediately! It's ruining my self esteem and body image!"


"It helps a lot to keep acid levels in check. I do get a sped up heartbeat about twice a year. Been on it for about 3 years."


"I was itching so bad one night after I started  using body wash down there I was itching so bad I could not sleep went to Cvs and got this product and used it immediately I felt relief !!!!!!"


"My first implant was fine; side effects same as many other women. Had it replaced, no worries. My second implant has now been in my arm for 5yrs. 3 attempts to get it out, with no luck. It was inserted incorrectly."


"Best medicine I've used to treat this particular infection. Amoxicillin and Bactrim aren't as effective for me."


"I am a 28 year old male. I was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism (Asperger's) when I was 19 and a couple years later with Treatment Resistant Unipolar Major Depressive Disorder. I've lost several jobs and did poorly in school due to severe social anxiety, and poor attendance. I always wanted to be alone and just sit in my room. I had a couple suicide attempts when I was younger.

After trying many antidepressants my psychiatrist tried me on Viibryd. I began feeling better at the beginning of the 3rd week of treatment and soon my depression was almost nonexistent. I do have several odd side effects: Diarrhea, Dilated Pupils, Brain Zaps, twitching/talking in sleep, etc. But I am still better off than before."


"I have been on Seasonale for about 9 months and it has worked great so far! I switched from Sprintec because I noticed that I was moody, had low libido, and felt very nauseous often. It can be kind of scary not having a period for three months on Seasonale, however, because of not knowing if you are pregnant or not, but I have not had any scares (I took my pill religiously besides a couple times). I noticed that cramps are a little worse when I do have my period, probably because I don't have my menstrual cycle as much. Overall, I don't get moody or nauseous nearly as much as I did on Sprintec, and it's so nice only dealing with a period 4 months a year instead of 12!"


"Gave me restless, crawly legs on 50mg. It was very sedating 12 wks ago. Broke it in half and that worked for 4 weeks, then no sedation at all and BAD night sweats. Made me very foggy the following day, and palpitations half the time. Hangover headaches too."


"I have had Thryoiditis/ Hashimotos and Raynauds Syndrome for 20  yrs.  TSH was as HIGH as 200  but never went below 65 in 14 yrs.
I've had 13 heart procedures and 16 stents. A Pacemaker in 2010 due to a Heart rate of 42 but no attention given to a TSH that was 165. Now we are checking for PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA .. Also my GP has replaced SYNTHROID with ARMOUR. Synthroid has NO IODINE OR T3 needed for the body. Side effects are terrible for a week but my body is ALIVE thanks to ARMOUR. "


"After years of horrible acne ---  trying various creams and expensive cleaning products, this saved me. I can not recommend this enough. No side effects. I didn't refill my prescription for 3 months and the large cystic acne on my chin and cheeks showed up again.

I have been on this for 3 years."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia over a year ago, after many years of chronic pain, insomnia and fatigue.  Sleep study showed no stage 3 or 4 sleep so the sleep I was getting was not good sleep.  I am on several medications now to stay awake during the day, control my pain so I can continue to work and more medications to sleep.  Restoril has helped in all three areas."


"I take this medication for bipolar, but it also does wonders for generalized anxiety disorder. I have suffered for DECADES with anxiety and panic attacks and SSRIs have stopped working for me. When I started taking seroquel it was like I finally saw color in the black and white world I was living in. My moods are completely under control and my anxiety is controlled for the most part. This medication definitely has side effects. Its a tranquilizer. It makes you very tired. It also made me gain a significant amount of weight...but I would rather deal with the side effects then deal with the horrible anxiety I was living with everyday. I take it before bed...make sure you're able to get at least 8 hours of sleep so you're not groggy the next day"


"I am a 39 year old female.  I started taking Adipex 7.27.07, weighing 297 lbs.  I lost 17 lbs in my first 2 weeks.  I have now lost 57 lbs with little exercise.  I have hit a plataeu and started exercising more.  This drug has saved my life.  I will have hopefully lost 90 lbs by Christmas.  Slow and steady wins the race.  I will turn 40 in February and I know that with Adipex I will be 40, Fit, Fabulous and Free."


"(I wrote this back in June: I've been using orlistat for 3 weeks now and have only lost 1 lb so far. I can honestly say that I have had no side effect. Been very careful of what I have eaten. Have only been going to the gym once a week but with 3 kids I'm on the go all day).

I DIDN'T THINK THE DRUG WAS WORKING FOR ME SO TESTED IT OUT: I ATE AS MUCH CHOCOLATE AND BISCUITS AS I WANTED AND BOY DIDN'T I PAY FOR IT THE NEXT DAY. SINCE THEN I CUT OUT CARBS, STILL HAVE TREATS MAYBE STILL TO MANY OF THEM WHICH I'M TRYING TO CUT DOWN AGAIN, NOT SUFFERING THE SIDE EFFECTS THOUGH, VERY OCCASIONALLY I'M WINDY BUT I'VE LOST 12LBS. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. I'M 1 STONE AND 3 LBS OFF MY TARGET WEIGHT."


"It help my pains quick, but it also upsets my stomach (yes, I eat). It makes me sweat, light headed, vomit a lot when I take this medicine. Sometimes, I want to quit taking it, but this the only medication I ever took that really help the pains in my lower back."


"Just got this implant today and I've been a little dizzy. Hopefully, after reading some of these reviews, I like this more than the pill!"


"I chose Nexplanon because I have never been able to remember the pill. After inserting Nexplanon I bled constantly for six months. I have had Nexplanon in for a little less then two years and still bleed all time. Every time my husband and I are intimate I start my cycle that has been going on for two years. It is effective as a birth control but the bleeding in annoying and get expensive when you are always buying feminine products."


"I wish I didn't even have to rate this terrible medication. I asked my doctor to put me on a birth control to help with my periods. This birth control has been the absolute worst. I have had every terrible side effect from stomach cramps, severe depression, insane mood swings, nausea, feeling lethargic, I mean...just the worst I've ever felt. And all because of a medication... Yeah, no thanks."


"I have been on 50mg sertraline for one week then just started 100mg yesterday,I have had deep depression ocd & panic attacks for 15 months and have been on several tablets and a stay in hospital I felt like life was not living I wanted to die I feel a bit better not so anxious but still have intrusive thoughts I'm hoping as the weeks go on this will improve"


"After trying about 10 different medicines this one has been the best."


"I've had this put in on Oct 2015. Although it took less than 10 mins to put it in it hurt like none other. But since then I've only gotten my period twice and it has lasted 3-4 days and I haven't had any weight gain, like I had while I was on depo."


"I got it on April 2nd 2015, and I don't know what to think. It hurt and was bruised for the first week after I got it inserted ( which is normal ).  I weighted 115lbs when I got it, and now I'm 125lbs. 10 lbs! No big deal right, but it's been ONE month. Gaining weight is making me depressed, and no matter how much I want to work out I constantly feel tired and lazy. As far as mood swings I have them real bad. For the entire first month I snapped and yelled at everyone, and would go from yelling to crying to complaining. I hope my body goes back to normal because I can't take it. When it comes to bleeding, I have spotted through an entire month, and while I'm on my period, one day it's heavy, the next it's almost not there at all."


"I've been reading some of these reviews, and felt the need to say that everyone will react differently. I have just completed my first week of this pill and haven't noticed anything too extreme. I just had some mild vaginal discomfort, but nothing bad at all. I was on my old birth control for just over a year, but switched pills because of breakthrough bleeding and cramps. From what I can tell, my mood or sex drive hasn't changed at all."


"I tried Yaz for over a year for PMDD; it did not relieve my symptoms and may have induced migraines.  It kept periods short and my skin clear though. "


"It was administered in the lowest dosage for post-op pain. No side effects and very effective. Motrin, Tylenol and other OTC pain relief is lacking compared to this. Morphine IMO is not even clo se to effective..I have a low tolerance for pain (distracting at the least). I have a hard time understanding why proven pain meds are so restricted when very low doses are twice as effective long term over generic, higher dose, low effect pain meds.Given a choice, this has been the best chronic pain relief I have experienced. Demerol was discontinued for inpatient use by Morphine..go figure."


"I have Multiple Sclerosis and have suffered from atrocious nerve pain in my back and legs that severely impaired my functioning and quality of life. My neurologist prescribed Gabapentin for the pain. I was skeptical that anything could help. I am on 400 mg a day right now, taken in 100mg 4x a day. I have been on it for about 2 weeks. I am already experiencing days of almost NO pain. A GODSEND. Interestingly, I am also rapid cycling Bipolar, for which I have been on Abilify. Though the Abilify has helped maintain my judgment, it has done nothing for my manic agitation and depression. I had NO IDEA this was also used as a mood stabilizer or I would have tried it sooner. In just 2 weeks, I feel even keeled and an inner serenity. Love this med!"


"This medicine brought almost instant relief for a very painful neurological condition caused by a root canal procedure that went bad.  I suffered for two years before someone suggested this medicine.  After 4 doses I was free of pain and continue to be.  I understand I will be on this medicine for life."


"Have taken for 2 years and now I can't live without it. I can walk with just a small amount of pain, my knees are very happy. Please try this."


"I was on Remicade for the past four years. It has recently started giving me bad reactions during the infusion. My arthritis would also flare 1.5-2 weeks after the infusion. Loved Remicade, hated how expensive it was."


"I have been using Amnesteem for 5 months now and I am about to turn 17. I have had many side effects but the results are so far good. Before I started taking Amnesteem I had a lot of acne mostly on my face and back, all of my face has cleared up but my back is not yet finished. Most of the side effects I had were, itchy skin, depression, chapped lips, feverish chills but nothing that I couldn't handle. My skin has been greatly affected by this medicine but in a good way. Lately I have been experiencing sore throat but is most likely not from the medicine. Even though I only have one more month of my Amnesteem left to go, I hope that it's the easiest one."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Night before procedure: Tasted fine, like candy. It took 4.5 hours to work.

Morning of procedure: Not such a good taste the second time, but not repulsive either. Took 2.5 hours to work."


"Been in Pain Management for 8 years.  Until 2 weeks ago I was taking 120 mg Methadone along with 5 X 30mg Oxycodone a day.  I have Spinal Stenosis, DDD, DJD,, Post Lamenectomy Syndrome, Osteoarthritis in knee, spine and shoulder.  I missed a pill count and was discharged.  2 Weeks later I finally got into another pain management clinic and he puts me on 4 Endocet 10/325 a day. Nothing in comparison to what I was on but it was my first visit..so I wait.  My first day on it and it already makes my stomach upset but it was worth it to get anything."


"I've suffered from migraines, mostly chronic,  going on 6 years. I had originally tried Amitriptyline  at the beginning of my diagnosis; however, quickly got off of it (I don't remember why). 6 years later and a new doctor suggested we give it a try. Almost immediately I noticed my eyes changing. Very blurred vision. I also experienced rapid weight gain, hostility, aggression and more sweating. Within three weeks of being on the medicine, I called my doctor and had them get me off of it. Now I am on nortriptyline. Glad because I soon after received notification from my insurance that they wouldn't cover the suggested amount of 50 mg, only 25 mg for 30 days."


"Extreme and persistent back pain has softened with this drug and a muscle relaxer. This drug makes you drowsy though.. Make sure you eat beforehand or else it really hits you hard."


"I had cooper IUD inserted yesterday, I felt slight cramping as he placed it literally took 10 seconds! Cramped for the rest of the day, woke up this morning and I don't feel a thing, if this continues, than the IUD is absolutely amazing!!!! I was told it is effective 4 days after placement that's amazing."


"I just had the worst allergy attack of my life. For three days I tried several medicines with little effect. As soon as I took Zyrtec-D it was like magic, I felt 100% better in minutes and it lasted all day. Great stuff."


"My doctor told me to just put a pea size amount of the cream on to my face (not the moisturizer) because if you put to much it will cause redness dry skin and stinging. He also said if it continues to work just lower your dosage to night time only. Epiduo is AMAZING. I recommend this to everyone. You should be fine with it as long as you do as your doctor says other than that you just might be allergic to it."


"I've had Kyleena for a week and a half- I LOVE it. Ibuprofen (800mg) an hour before, insert was 4/10 pain scale (lasted less than 1 minute), uncomfortable for an hour after- but functioning to drive home and run to the market, took it easy the rest of the night. I've had zero cramps, zero spotting, I feel perfectly normal. I had sex 24 hours after being insterted. I did use comdoms (my doc said I didn't have too but wanted to be safe). There are good and bad reviews, is encourage you to get it for yourself. If you don't like it- removal is supposed to be easier than inserting. I love this and knowing I'm protected for 5 years against unwanted pregnancy. Good luck!"


"100% works for me! and my family! thank you for this wonderful cream!
"


"Day 2 on chantix, my urge to smoke has decreased several fold. Smoke all of a sudden start to taste stale and unbearable. I also smoke marijuana so the taste of the green is still there !!
Smoked since high school and now I'm 27 I'm half a pack a day kinda person. I did however experience a decrease in energy taking this pill, but however its only been 2 days. Will update in a week."


"I started this medication a week ago and have had very vivid dreams. I used to wake up with rib and hip pain/stiffness. I also couldn't relax and lay in bed because my body just felt restless. I would say that on day 2, I woke up almost completely relaxed and nearly no stiffness. I also started taking Celebrex on the same day, so I'm not sure if it's the combination of the two or one or the other, but I feel so much better. I am a 31 year old female and mom of a 1.5 year old."


"I started with horrific hot flashes sweating all night no sleep. Sweating in meetings going out. Couldn't wear any makeup. I started taking Brisdelle about 6 months ago. I did my research . This medication is a life saver. It's expensive as hell, I found a coupon for it and I only pay a 1/4 of what it costs.

There was someone saying how terrific the withdrawal

Symptoms are you need to be weened off. Not every medicine you can just stop cold turkey. Read all inserts of medicines you are prescribed. Some meds take awhile to get over side effects.

This has been a life saver"


"I was just diagnosed with endometriosis due to unexplained abdominal pain for months. My OB/GYN recommended a BC to see if symptoms subside. After not being on BC for close to 10 years, Taytulla is the first one I've tried. I'm a week in and have been noticing nothing but horrible side effects. I get a migraine every single day after eating, usually about 6 hours into my day, extreme nausea, neck pain, and brain fog. I've also had an increase in acne. I'm trying to give it a chance, but if these symptoms continue then I will be forced to stop it completely. Allergan (the company who makes it) is a very reputable company and I'd like to see this help women, but I think it's going to take a while to work out the kinks."


"OMG - the agony!  I bought this product yesterday and thought I'd start with an application of the cream which I hoped would be soothing. NOT!  Burning, itchy, irritation like I couldn't believe. Had a lukewarm bath to try to get rid of it. Thought the suppositories would be better. No!  As the toxic stuff leaked out I was on fire. Couldn't sleep for the pain.

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!"


"I broke my ankle and was on 50 perks a week + 60 tabs of 5mg Oxy for breakthrough pain for the better part of 5 months. I was cut off cold turkey and given tramadol. This tramadol made me feel worse since I was already on a SSRI for 4+years. If it was not for suboxone 4/1mg a day I'd probably be dead. This med works. But you also need the will power to want to quit.

Happily oxy free 3 months going. This med is a lifesaver. Just make sure you get the proper dose for your needs/habits. Otherwise you will feel its a waste of time."


"Have taken Angeliq for 4 years, and feel very well. Has eliminated dryness and mood swings, also great improvement, hair, nails etc. No weight gain, but slightly painful breasts during initial months, but now okay. Would recommend this hormone replacement therapy. Had tried others eg.Femoston, Livial and Estrocombi but this is the best of all and will keep taking for as long as possible."


"Taken on days following R-CHOP therapy, and it is an emotional roller coaster at higher doses (100MG per day). However, it did keep inflammation down. I felt very awake and edgy."


"I have major depression several years, it is worse lately with suicidal thoughts. I started out on 25 mg for four weeks saw little difference other than typical side effects. The fatigue was overwhelming for 10 days but got better after two weeks. Upped dose to 50mg bad anxiety and trembling inside for about six weeks but now am happy to say I'm much better no trembling, sometimes anxious but the sertraline has definitely been worth it. I'm still not sleeping as well as I would like, waking up three times a night and getting up at four a.m. wide awake. To all of you who are just starting on it hang in there, it will get better."


"I have been on this pill for 6 months since I was diagnosed with PCOS. My periods were still regular before going on this pill. My only real symptoms of PCOS were excessive hair growth and elevated Testosterone levels. Since I started taking this pill I have chronic spotting, bloating, headaches, and fatigue. I fatigue is so bad that it has started to interfere with my grades in school. I get a horrible pain in my left hip before I start spotting. I have seen no improvement with the abnormal hair. I also have not had a period since starting the pill which i started six months ago."


"I been on evra patch for a year now, no specific mood swings no spotting, normal periods as 7 days, period only starts on 3rd day after removing patch and overlap by 3 days! Breasts have grown I might say a cup size. Some of periods I had very bad back pain some  I don't even feel ( so I don't think is anything to do with patch)
I have not gained much weight and I think it's nothing to do with patch. If I eat like pig I get fat if and if I cut down on carbs I slim down."


"I must say reading all the comments it's not a good feeling at all yes it burns n itch but I'm guessing cause it working will I try it again yes maybe cause I rather go through pain for a day than use creams but I must say it is messing my first time using this and I would recommend it to a friend ;-)"


"Diagnosed with GAD and OCD, more so the mental aspect (the obsessions).  On clonazepam, Zoloft 200mg and Seroquel XR 50mg a few hours before bed.  I have to say that it feels great and helps me fall asleep, but I still have some anxiety driven dreams.  The hours before sleep are wonderful, it really takes you down a level or two. I just wish it lasted 24 hours."


"I got this in July. I started my regular period when I got it inserted and my period escalated to soaking through a pad every 10 minutes. I took birth control pills to fix this. I bled for 2 months straight like a normal period. Now I always am spotting, some days heavy flow. I usually always feel crampy now. I gained 10 pounds within two weeks of having this, all in my stomach. I always have migraines. I get more pimples and am ALWAYS tired. I randomly get sad and angry for no reason.  Also my sex drive has been slowly but surely diminishing. I am keeping it only because it's keeping me baby free."


"I've had great results with this medication. I tried Differin prior to this and it did nothing for me. This medication cleared my skin up in a week, and has kept my acne at bay ever since. Only negative is that it does burn at some points (I do NOT have sensitive skin)."


"I'm 52 years old, I've had AF for 10 years. Completed an ablation surgery, and had no AF for 2.75 years, then it came back with 4 bouts in less than two weeks.  Was put on Sotal 1 week ago, other than lightheadedness when standing I have had no side effects.  Works well no AF(120mg), I will follow up with another review in one year."


"I'm 19 years old and have been suffering from severe testicular and groin pain for the past 5 months, due to a sports injury. It prevented me from doing the things I had previously loved doing, I couldn't go back to school, and I'd be in bed all day. But now that my pain doctor has put me on OxyContin 20 mg twice a day, I feel like I'm getting my life back. This medication keeps my pain at bay. Before, I'd be going through an average of 8/10 pain everyday, but OxyContin miraculously brings it down to a 2-3! I really mean it when I say OxyContin is a Godsend for a male who's going through testicular pain caused by numerous problems. Best of all it doesn't make me tired so I can properly function throughout the day!"


"Refrigerate before use, used very good water to mix with medicine. Drink with straw to help with drinking the mixture. Put rootbeer flavored popsicle(small chunks) in each cheek while drinking solution to cover bad taste. Drink warm tea instead of 16 oz water after finishing prep solution for 2nd dose, it went down much easier than first dose when just water was used for mixing and the required 32oz of water."


"This is my first yeast infection and I'm 18. My mom gets them too, not frequently, but enough to where she knows her meds. She told me not to use M1 but that I should use m3. I wanted to get this over with and just use the one day treatment but she warned me there was no way I was sleeping if I did, reading the reviews also convinced me not to. But even using M3 it's impossible to sleep, regardless of taking two Advil. I don't have any burning but just the most intense itching I've ever felt in my life. This is night 1 and I hope it gets better and not worse on the next two nights. After an hour and a half the itching let up a little. The less I move the less I feel it, either that or the Advil is kicking in. So far, I expected worse."


"Adderall has been extremely effective in treating my inability to concentrate. It has also proven effective to some degree as an antidepressant. Another reason I really like it is the minimal side effects/withdrawal I get when I stop taking it abruptly after long periods of daily use. It has been a very effective, yet forgiving drug in my experience."


"I have been on Cymbalta, 60mg's for several months now. I am more relaxed and my depression is not as bad, however, I do still have down moments. I too have noticed that I have the dry mouth, yawning, not sleeping sound every night have experienced upper, underneath my ribs on my right side pain. My joints hurt in my knees. "


"Third day of medicine but still having symptoms. Those of you who report adverse reactions and then go on taking the medicine should know that is not a good idea. I am allergic to several antibiotics, and my doc says stop taking at the first sign of any reaction as it can be very serious."


"After years of being on this medication my doctor refused to refill the prescription due to addiction side effects.  This medication works so well and as stated by many works fast and allows you to function or sleep off a migraine.  I have never had rebound headaches, cravings, or a single migraine that did not respond to this medication. I have been on a controlled and managed dose for many years and have never experienced the need for more or a need to use it for anything other than debilitating migraines. I have NEVER experienced a negative reaction in any way using this medicine responsibly under the supervision of a physician.  As I said I have been using Fiorinal since the 80's.  "


"Surprisingly, within the first 48 hours of taking this medication, I've finally felt myself again. I'm 18 years old and suffer from depression from past trauma, stress, and I also have horrible anxiety. I used to be unable to get out of bed and would cry at least a couple hours a day. Now I laugh at what would normally make me lash out in anger and cause myself to cry. I feel happy and I actually feel like I have a reason for living. This is a miracle."


"Within a day of starting this, I started experiencing horrible side effects- my skin started to break out and my appetite was fluctuating drastically. But the worst part was the terrible mood swings. I became terribly depressed and was crying for an hour day for no reason. Couldn't finish the month."


"I am on epiduo and my skin is very dry and irritated but, the acne is ALL gone!! When my Doctor prescribed me to this she have me a sample package that provided me with a gentle soap cleanser called cetaphil and along with the epiduo samples. To calm down the dryness I would steam my face often and that helped for about 20 miniutes after that my skin would irritate me and burn. The dryness mostly happened around the nose area and chin and a little bit around the cheek bones. I think this product does wonders and really improves your acne scars and marks. HIGHLY RECOMENDED :)"


"Just got it removed less than 10mins ago after having it for a year and a half! My doctor tried to convince me to keep it (like she always does) but nope, not this time! It’s too DAMN annoying. Excuse my language. I got my period every month on time and it always lasts for like two weeks! After I FINALLY go off, there’s this foul odor that doesn’t want to go away no matter how many times I’ve showered, soaked, prescription gels, summer’s eve’d, shoot I was trying everything! Endless google searches!
So basically, all month long I’m dealing with something. The spotting is also very random and it’s annoying. I’m trying the one that goes in my arm...  because I’m done with Liletta.

PROS: I’m not pregnant... *shoulder shrug*"


"3 years ago I was prescribed one 12.5 mcg patch every 72 hours for unidentified pelvic pain. My doctor increased the dose until my pain was manageable with 100mcg/72 hrs. I've found that the patches with gel reserves (i.e Watson) won't  stay on unless taped down. Also, by the 3rd day my pain would spike, even with the additional oxycodone I took for breakthrough pain. Now, instead of putting on one 100mcg patch at a time, I put one 50mcg patch on and then another on the next day. On day 3 I don't put one on, and then replace the first patch on day 4. Ask your doctor to cut your dose in half but prescribe 2x the amount of patches (10, 50mcg patches=20, 25 mcg patches). And invest in medical tape! The patch has been a life saver."


"Worked the first time!"


"Took this with phosphosoda for my colonoscopy prep. 6:45pm I took 45ml phosphosoda. Then at 8:45pm took 4pcs of 5mg bisacodyl dolculax as instructed. Around 9pm I started visiting the toilet and stayed there for like ages. Probably the result of phosphosoda since its also a laxative. I knew dolculax will hit me harder later on. I only went out when someone wants to use the toilet. I wore adult diapers before exiting just to be sure enough, because I can't hold the poop inside. Just slips out of my butt without control. Then the worst happened. Around midnight I felt severe stomachaches. The discharge are almost all water and are discharged as if from a pressurized water hose. My butt burns also. Can't touch it. Luckily all is well at 6am."


"Got all four wisdom teeth removed and wasn't put under. I was just given one of these and I didn't feel a thing. Alternated between that and ibuprofen 800mgs every four hours for the next week and I was fine. "


"I'm 39 years old and I've been experience high BP for a few months - 190/140.  I was on Effexor and dr immediately took me off that and replaced with Viibryd and added the Bystolic 10mg.  Definitely feeling better...no more heart beats THUMPING in my head.  Been a bit dizzy/lightheaded, but I'm contributing that to the change in anti-depressant, but after reading everthing...not quite sure.  I've had some loose bowels too, but who cares as long as the my pounding heartbeat is gone.  I never felt bad before, but the medicines have given me some peace of mind."


"I took My Way 24 hours after intercourse and still got pregnant. I had no side affects. It was like I had taken nothing at all."


"I have been on this birth control for almost 10 years. It has cleared up my acne, made my periods lighter, and my breasts went from a size B to a size C. The only negative effect is that it may have made my eyes even drier than they already are. When I tried to stop using Apri, just to see how my body would react because I didn't want to be taking medicine for no reason, all my acne on my face came back and I even had acne on my chest and my back, which I had never had before. I am kind of afraid to ever stop taking it for that reason."


"Took 18mg Concerta for 5 days. On day two, I woke up and cleaned and tidied the whole house, my partner thought something was wrong with me! Then the side effects came... Nausea, depression, anxiety. By the time I was coming down at around 3pm I had to stay at home, I was unable to drive my car or even just go out. My doc wanted to try me on 5mg Ritalin 3x a day quick release but I refused. After reading the reviews on here about dexamphetamine I started them this morning. 5mg 3x a day. Hopefully this will be the one for me."


"Fewer side effects than Depakote but nearly no benefit for migraines."


"This Zicam product works wonders it completely takes the worse conditions of Nadal congestion and makes it feel like you never had a problem after you use it. It's a secret remedie that's for sure"


"IBS-D, sometimes C... this medication is great for IBS-D. On numerous occasions I’ve been out to dinner and suddenly started experiencing the all-too-familiar cramping that always leads to terribly painful bowel spasms and the need to find a restroom, stat. I can take one Bentyl at that moment to ease the spasms, get through the rest of the dinner meeting, and make it to my home.
A sort of pleasant “side effect” is that it seems that since the Bentyl stops the spasms and effectively makes me able to wait longer to use the restroom, my stool isn’t so loose when I do finally go. Also, there is so much less abdominal pain associated with a bowel movement.
I would highly, highly recommend this medication! I’ve noticed no adverse effects."


"So I was on the nuvaring for less than 1 week. I think it's been only 4 days, I just took it out for good. The first day everything was fine, the second day I experienced the worst itch in my vagina, I mean terrible. I've never had a yeast infection, and this is my first time trying birth control. It also made my vagina extremely dry. Sex did not really hurt but was hardly enjoyable BC I was not wet at all, and he said he pushed it back up there for me during sex.. Don't recommend this method of birth control at all, and I'm really not sure where to go from here, as I am very wary of all the hormonal side effects of all methods of birth control. I am very disappointed and do not want to ever experience this kind of discomfort again."


"I have Flexeril prescribed to me because I suffer from migraines. I'm 17, have been getting migraines for about 9 years and have been on flexeril for about 2 years. I only take it occasionally when I get a bad migraine and need sleep to help with the pain. Although it's not usually prescribed for headaches or migraines, it helps reduce the pain lots and helps me sleep while I have a bad migraine."


"Since my dad got sick and eventually passed away my anxiety depression and fears were just over whelming. I've been having so many intrusive thoughts since then. I had mild depression before he passed its been 5 years and its finally just has destroyed me. I finally went and got help two weeks ago and xanax not only completely calms me down it helps me focus on thing I need to focus on and not let my mind wonder with anxiety and weird thoughts. Miracle drug. Don't abuse it. Use when needed its amazing."


"I've avoided speaking in front of people my whole life due to extreme performance anxiety. I get all of the fight or flight symptoms - high heart rate, shaky legs & voice, dry mouth, sweat. I've had to leave in the middle of a presentation b4-most embarrasing moment in career. Was told to give a presentation in front of 60 peers at work 2 months ago. Instantly dreading it & wouldnt stop thinking about it. Went to my pcp month before and he prescribed propranolol. Took a 20mg pill 1.5 hours b4 and then chewed half pill 20 min b4 after saw standing room only! Slight drowsiness was my only side af. When called up, expected to freak out- my brain tried but my body didnt! Spoke clearly & confident, many compliments after! AMAZING, CAREER SAVING!"


"My migraines went from several a week to once a month. It is sedating and it also serves as a mild sleep aid."


"Have had three colonoscopies in four years and can attest to the tremendous superiority of Propofol over "Twilight Sleep." After "Twilight Sleep" I was stupid and hungover all day. Plus my colonic inertia is worse than ever after any opiates. After Propofol I was mentally alert, physically steady and solid. Felt like I could take college boards exams 2 minutes after waking.

For the most recent procedure, due to a mixup, I had to have the opiate-bomb again. I was very disappointed that I was going to feel like crap the whole rest of the day and have a bellyache the second. But most disappointing of all was that both the phlebotomist and the nurse tried to tell me the two drugs are exactly the same. They need to try them."


"Awesome.  I wish I had known about this little glass bottle years ago.  I had always known that it was ingested before a colonoscopy but I assumed there was a special reason.  I know now!  I am a very regular person.  Very. Lack of fiber, a new hormonal contraceptive, and tons of caffeine caused a stop up.  I was ready to punch someone in the face.  Drank a bottle at 6:30pm.  Got a little worried because I was told it was almost instantaneous.  I got disappointed  and just decided to sleep.  Woke up at 5am and BAAAAAMMM!  I feel so much better.  And not only does it taste really tart (cherry)...but it was only a buck,  and it didn't cramp like an oral laxative pill."


"I was a smoker for 30 years, I used commit when my granddaughter was born because I couldn't smoke in the hospital. It worked, I decided to continue with the program. I have quit for 30 months now. When I feel the urge to smoke now which is not often (maybe 1 time in 4 weeks) I pop one in my mouth and never completely finish it until the urge leaves. I kept 1 bottle after I quit using them for this reason and still have over half left. It works."


"More research and testing needed to be done on this drug before people could get on it. It is very true to MG and does not have higher absorption than Suboxone, period. Bunavail would not be an appropriate substitute for a patient who is stable on Suboxone at higher doses beside you would have to take so much past the legal limits of Bunavail to not be sick. BDSI - you REALLY need to raise the amount of Buprenorphine in the buccal film or figure out how to increase the absorption."


"Took st john’s wort due to a depression – and it helped. After seven years I stopped when I became sick. Now my mood is more even and I am much happier since I quit. My message is that it helps depression when needed, and makes you slightly depressed when it is not needed."


"I am a 26 year old female who has neuropathy throughout her entire body (happened following surgery likely due to anesthesia, awful!). I have bad reactions to seizure medicines, this one being the worst- along with Trileptal.  This made me a complete lunatic.  I was anti social, scared to be around anyone but my mother, had a migraine for 3 days while taking, was angry- an absolute monster.  If you are a female and younger in age, I would suggest trying this medication with a good support system (mother or significant other) who can be with you at all times just in case you react like I did."


"I been on it for about 5 years now its been good but lately each time  I take it I feel like throwing up. I am wondering if I should switch. I do recommend it but watch your side effects as years are passing."


"I have a genetic condition called Venous Insufficiency, which doesn't allow the blood & fluid to be returned from my lower legs & feet, so they swell and the skin can start to break down, which opens up the opportunity for infection.  Have been taking Furosemide 40mg 1x day for over a year now - it is the only thing that keeps me from being in the hospital all the time with infections that require IV antibiotics. The only side effects I've noticed are the very frequent urination (not really a side effect, it's what the drug is *supposed* to do, as it flushes fluids out of the body), and aching in my legs and feet as the fluid leaves - I can only assume that is caused by my body trying to push the fluid out."


"This was given, to me, intravenously in the E.R. for a severe migraine headache.  It didn't relieve it immediately, but the pain did subside after sleeping for several hours. The side effects are numerous and I would be cautious of taking this again, for those reasons."


"I was recently prescribed Vascepa for HIGH Triglycerides. I have been highly impressed with it's ability to stop inflammation and pain from my Multiple Sclerosis. I am eagerly waiting to see how well Vascepa lowers my Triglycerides at tje next visit doctor visit.. This medicine is great and minus the issues associated with DHA. Meaning no A-Fib or Palpitations and Tachycardia. As pure as pure is and well well worth the money! Vascepa is a wonder drug. Thank You Amarin Pharmaceuticals."


"Wow! This prep so much better than Golytely prep from 8 yrs ago. 3 days prior to procedure started Low Residue Diet - reduced amount eaten on day 2 prior - this significantly reduces out put and discomfort. Only clear liquids day prior (no light breakfast). Read Suprep reviews - poured prep out over 3 small ice cubes and use chilled water - chugged in 2 gulps (breathed thru mouth between gulps - reduces taste) then immediately sucked on a sour piece hard candy - minimizes after taste. Within 15 min consumed 32 oz room temp water - the faster this all goes in the faster it comes out - less potty time. Same for early (3am) prep. No nausea/vomiting, no cramping, no headache, only slight chill in am. Absolutely best prep!"


"This medicine helped a lot with the pain.  The problem was the side effects.  I did not mind the weight loss, but the sweating and the high blood pressure were side effects that could not be ignored.  Therefore, I had to stop taking it."


"I was on Levora for 2 months and when I started taking it, my period was a month late, but I had some breakthrough bleeding. I would also get nauseous late at night. I did break out just a bit and my sex drive increased. I stopped for a while and started again, and have been on it for a month now. This time my sex drive is lower and I tend to get dry during sex more often. I'm an emotional wreck. I'm depressed and have lots of anxiety. And I'm always angry or crying. And I'm ALWAYS hungry and craving things. And my breasts are slightly sore. In the first couple of weeks I gained weight, then in the last two I lost weight. But both experiences were different. It does it's job of preventing pregnancy though."


"I was on depo for about a year and stopped for a couple of reasons. Overall it was great. I've been on BC for a few years because of my PCOS, and after forgetting to take the pill all the time, I started this. I stopped because I read online that it can cause permanent infertility (not mentioned on the side effects) and that terrified me.

PROS:

•NO ACNE!! Even in 120° weather with no A/C, I didn't have a single pimple. It was amazing.

•Not having to remember it

•Effectiveness

•Increased sex drive. This also happened to me on the progestin only pill (Mini pill)

CONS:

•I had a few UTI's

•Very irregular periods. I didn't bleed at all, but Id have occasional breakthrough bleeding without any warning."


"I am a 34 year old mother of 3, and I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I've been on Contrave for 4 months and lost 29lbs. I started at 194 (I'm 5'7) and down to 165. This is nothing short of a miracle for me. It works completely differently than typical diet pills. It does not make me jittery or give me a rapid heart rate. It *somehow* allows me to say no to, or greatly limit my intake of, the foods I love. In general, my appetite is decreased by at least 70% and sweets (my kryptonite) are not something I have a compulsive need for anymore.

It gives me slight headaches and nausea if I drink alcohol. I've heard it makes some very sick, but I haven't experienced this. I am SO glad took a chance on it. Life changing for me."


"Been taking for 3 months, first 2 months were ok but now I am getting acne worse than I have ever had in my life and its expensive. "


"I have had the Implanon for three months now, the first month nothing happened, the second month I had severe mood swings 'pretend periods' (acts like I'm about to get it but nothing) and no sex drive whatsoever. The third month the mood swings left, 'pretend periods' gone. Sex drive off and on. Now I just got my period, had it for two weeks now. Mild cramping, its all spotting. I had horrifying painful periods before that were irregular, horrible. So far this birth control has been worth it. I recommend it. I don't have a scar..only mild bruising and I can't lay on my arm or put pressure on it or it'll feel weird or hurt."


"Have seen dramatic improvement from Afrezza.

"


"I got it in Jan 2008. No period for 3 months, then I bled for 2 months straight. After that, 2 periods a months for about 5 days each....EXHAUSTING! Tired, sad, depressed, no sex drive, weight gain, anger, aggressiveness, sweet tooth, but the worst - THE HORRIBLE mood swings! The best thing about it, it didn't hurt when it went in, minimal tenderness after insertion, and I did not get pregnant! I seriously feel like I am going through the change of life at 28 years. I am having it removed in days. No clue as to prevent future birth control, but NO MORE HORMONES! Probably wont be an issue, hubby hates the new evil me!"


"Headaches that lasted all day nearly every day for 18 months.  Started on lisinopril for mildly elevated blood pressure (15 mg).  Headaches went down to about one/month and those were now responsive to Excedrin."


"Been taking doxy for 3 months now. Before doxy, I had mild acne on my forehead and some cystic ones that I would get around my period. Anyway, so I'm taking 100mg doxy twice per day + Tretinoin + Acanya. I don't have pimples anymore but still have some dark spots. If I should get a pimple it would be a really small one and usually it's dried out after a day or two.

Today I went back to my dermatologist for check up and she put me on doxy again for another 3 months (so six months in total). She said she's adding another 3 months so that I will be completely breakout free.

Only bad side effect I had with doxy is sometimes it makes me throw up."


"Low estrogen is a very common thing in my family. I told my doctor about this, and she prescribed Tri-Sprintec, because it has triple the amount of estrogen found in women. If you don't have low estrogen, and you are using Tri-Sprintec, of course you are going to experience unpleasant side effects such as acne, mood swings, weight gain, etc. I've been taking it for over a year, and my family says I'm a much more pleasant person to be around now that I have something ridding me of my terrible mood swings. I can effectively lose weight while taking it and have little to no acne. I went two months without it and gained weight, also breaking out in acne. "


"I am a Helicopter pilot for the US Army and I have Chronic upper back pain.  I am on the 200mg Ultram and it is a life savor.  It still allows me to fly and controls the pain.  My only issues with this drug is it tends to make me itch and I can't take it before bed or i will be awake all night.  I have been taking it as needed for the past 6 months."


"I'm caregiver of my son and this medicine work like magic for him. He is 24 year old"


"Whomever is reading my experience I just wanted to first off say that Plan B is absoultly phenomenal and worked 100% (in my case) I usually get my period on the 12-14th of the month, had unprotected sex on November 5 and 6, took the pill on the 7th and got my period around my usual time (November 14 on the dot). I experienced barely any side effects right after taking the pill, aside from a mild side effect (slight dizziness for less than 10 minutes) but aside from the dizziness, the point is that it worked! I was so relieved when I got my period. So dont you worry girl ! Dont stress this pill is great and works! Its not a scam, its not a lie and it doesnt claim false information about anything. Thankyou Plan B !"


"I was a smoker for almost 40 years, with occasional attempts at quitting with the nicotine patch/gum, cinnamon sticks, & cold turkey. None of those worked since I constantly craved a real cigarette. I've now been using the Nicotrol Inhaler for over 2 weeks. I am amazed; as soon as I start to crave a cigarette, I just grab the inhaler and take a few puffs; that ends that craving.  Even when a canister is "dead" I still puff on it; it helps keep me on an even keel, having something in my mouth that I can puff on helps. I use 6 to 14 canisters a day, depending on both my stress and boredom levels, especially since some of my smoking was when I was bored. Only negative for me has been interrupted sleep, a small price to pay."


"Three hours after I first put on the Neupro patch for the first time, I felt like I was reborn.  I suffered from restless legs 24 hours a day and was heading for a serious meltdown.  After about 4 or 5 months, the restless legs returned on occasion.  I stopped drinking diet coke and continued the patch.  I have been restless legs free for almost a year and I feel like a new person.  I am a woman, age 64.  I started with Restless Legs Syndrome in my early twenties but only occasionally.  When I was 60, they came almost regularly, then 24 hours a day.  My neurologist put me on every pill imaginable.  They would work for a month and RLS returned with a vengeance.  My husband searched the Internet and found Neupro.  My doctor prescribed it and I am back to normal."


"I have gotten the depo about 4 years ago. Loved it because it stopped my menstrual. I got back on it in October 2015. It stopped my period for a month and a half In December 2015 I started bleeding. Couldn't wait until February to get my next shot. Today March 2016 after getting my 2nd shot I'm still bleeding. This is the worst ever. I will never take Depo again. When will it stop. I can't do anything.  So depressed"


"I take metformin/glipizide and my doctor added tradjenta 5mg. I took it and within an hour I was dizzy, had bad headache for over 12 hours, back pain and nausea. It did lower my blood sugar a little but these side effects were overwhelming. Not going to continue with this medication."


"Started 6/22/16 weight 165lbs so far slight nausea but able to continue, my goal is 135"


"But too expensive. I'm 27 years old with no insurance and I'm paying close to $1000 a month."


"This is a wonder drug for me.I am allergic to both codeine and hydrocodone and yesterday I had to go to the ER for an extremely infected hair follicle. I was in such horrible pain my blood pressure was through the roof. The doctor gave me a Percocet before he applied lidocane to my follicle. I didn't feel a thing. Not even when he said the lidocane would hurt. He sent me home with a 5mg prescription. It did make me somewhat nauseated. I took a phenergan with it and was able to rest. I really recommend this medicine."


"Okay if you're here before you have applied the medication, GOOD JOB!! The worst mistake I've ever made was not reading reviews before I applied this medication. The first couple of days I had AGONIZING pain because of the severe burns I had all over my vagina... and that is because I spread it all over. Be very careful when applying this medication. Just put a little amount on the tip of a Quitip and apply it on the wart only. If you do experience burning or itching, use neosporin, aloe, or any other numbing/pain relieving cream!!! Also apply the cream before you use the application and that will help you too.

Other than that this cream does work, it takes time but it works. Don't lose hope!!!!"


"Been on Gilenya for 3 months, I haven't seen any improvements! In fact I think I got worse! But who knows what will happen, injections/pills whatever but make it work!!"


"First day on 25mg feeling tired, sometimes cold, hot, but NO wantings. not particularly hungry either. just reading that this drug should not be taken until a week before alcohol is out of system.?? from what I am reading here, people just drank till when they started taking naltrexone. true? good info here for beginners, thank you all for sharing, very helpful. I believe this is going to work for me, so I can get back on track with my life."


"Fioricet works within 15-20 minutes and you feel better than you would normally …. happy, awake, no headache, nothing can really irritate you and literally puts a smile on your face.  Don’t eat them daily because they will start causing headaches and you will become tolerant and then they won’t work when you need them to."


"This is my fourth colonoscopy. In December I used a Prepopik Kit because I was given Suprep the time before and the taste was utterly disgusting to me. I told the doctor to give me something different because I didn't think I could take another round with Suprep again.  The person who said it tastes like Robitussin got it right on the money. Unfortunately for me, while the Prepopik tastes 100% better, it did not get me cleared out, and I'm now repeating the colonoscopy from December. The Suprep does the cleaning out job effectively. Just that taste....ughhhhh! I'm going to use the ginger ale suggestion and see if it helps."


"I was diagnosed with Restless Legs Syndrome about 4 yrs ago and was prescribed Mirapex.  My symptoms were so bad I wouldn't sleep for days and was non functioning due to being sleep deprived. The doctor put me on 0.25mg every evening but my RLS was creeping into daylight hours, so I was prescribed 0.25mg twice a day.  That did the trick and it has saved my sanity.  I no longer have any symptoms of RLS --and as a side note - I have no side effects either from the medicine."


"This was one of many I tried. I was more satisfied with this one than any of the others. I never had headaches(with some I had terrible headaches!) the time release worked very well. Overall I rate this medicine the best in it's category."


"I started Belviq on Thursday evening before dinner and today is Sunday morning.  I weighed in at 327-328 on Thursday and this morning was 324. I felt the affects instantly. I was shocked how sick I felt after trying to eat a regular size serving. I've had almost half the usual amount of food at EVERY single meal since I started.  And almost zero between meal snacks. (I did have about 7 fresh cherries yesterday, but that's been the only snack).   No side effects - maybe a little dry mouth. I'm not expecting to continue seeing this level of weight loss continue - but I'm so optimistic about my future now. I love how tiny the pills are and I got a certificate from the Belviq website that makes it possible for me to only pay $75. It's  worth it"


"I have had 9 colonoscopies over the last 15 years, and of all the preps I have used, I dislike this one the most.  It is very effective at it's job, but it is also too effective, for I have had loose bowels and watery discharge for over a week.  I will report this to my doctor, who I hope will advise his patients to use some other form of prep."


"I have been using Cialis for about a week and the results are outstanding.  My wife touches me and I am erect immediately with a very hard erection. Guys, my first sign that erectile dysfunction was on it's way was a decreased urine flow and a diminished erection.  If you have those symptoms, ask your doctor now about an ED drug and your sex life will improve for you and your partner.  Honestly, it takes the stress out of sex and allows you to focus on your partner instead of worrying about losing your erection."


"I'm on day 3 and the only side effect I have had is itching, everywhere. My urinary tract infection is better but not gone yet."


"I've been taking clonazepam off and on for 20 years at the lowest dose: 0.5 Mg. The script is take 1 up to 3 times a day, as needed. I take lamotrigine, 100mg twice a day as my primary mood stabilizer. But there are times when stress starts to overload my already noisy brain and that's when I take the clonazepam.

There are side effects. If I've been taking it on a more or less daily basis for a while I get constipation, dry mouth and lack of coordination (I get wobbly a d bump into things or list to one side like a boat in a swell. It's momentary, though!

Despite these side effects I continue to take it because it really helps me. Bipolar disorder is bad and this helps me function "normally"."

"This is my first birth control, and I am happy with it overall, although the first day of my period I had terrible pain. I've never experienced this pain before... And I got my period 4 days after the last active pill. Not much side-effects besides, my skin is pretty clear, no mood-change/headaches, weight-change. I think I will stay with it."


"This was prescribed to me for a sinus infection. After 5 days of use I felt no change in my condition. This medication did not work for me. My dosage was 2 tablets by mouth twice a day. Tablets were 500mg."


"Mirapex has worked like a miracle for me. I can go on long trips again without constant leg "stretching/wiggling/massaging/exercising/deep-knee-bending" to take away the terrible sensations in my legs!

I also do not "twitch" and "kick" in bed, like I used too."


"I started taking Minocycline at the beginning of the summer 2015. around May or June. I am 16 years old and have had a lot of trouble with acne all throughout junior high and high school. After taking Minocycline for the first week, it got worse before it got better. I think the medicine was essentially pushing the toxins out of my skin and in turn creating more acne. After the first week, i had the clearest skin i have ever had. It not only improved the acne itself, but also my complexion. I would recommend Minocycline for anyone in their teen years suffering from mild acne on their face and shoulders. I give it a 9 because it doesn't work for everyone. there have been lots of reported side effects. It really depends on the person."


"Awful!!!  Got the flu mist and my 8 yr old son got it too.  2 days later I had the flu!  Fever, cough, mucous, sore throat, headache, weakness, etc.., it has been awful!!!  I expect to be sick for at least 2 more days!!!  So about a week of illness!  My son was sick for 2.5 days!  all of the above and no appetite!!!  I'm really annoyed!!!!! Thanks for charging me $65 bucks to get really sick and miss work and school!!!! Never again!!!"


"I love Lutera. I've been using it for the past 6 or 7 months. The only problem I have with taking it is that I forget to take it. Since taking it my periods have been shorter and lighter and on time."


"My father was on avandia for 5 years and suffered a heart attack. His doctor told my family that he had no heart concerns before taking avandia. My father died because of this medication. I do not recommend this drug"

"I've had Nexplanon for 2 years now and it has been wonderful. My doctor numbed my arm when I got it implanted so there was no physical pain. My arm was a tad sore after the numbing medication wore off, but only for a day or two at most. The soreness wasn't anything serious either. I didn't have any physical side effects from the implant at all. I did not gain weight, I did not get acne, my hair didn't get more oily, and I didn't cramp. After about a month of having it in, my period was due and I bled a little longer than usual. After bleeding for about 11 days, I spotted for about 7 more days. After that month of bleeding and spotting, I haven't had a period since. I am engaged and my fiance finished inside of me, I have not gotten pregnant"


"One day out of the blue I started experiencing extreme anxiety and panic attacks.  I would wake up in the middle of the night shaking and sweating. I couldn't eat, sleep, or socialize with my friends. I was scared at first but finally decided to try celexa. Initially the side effect sucked. Insomnia, increased anxiety, and a weird fuzzy head feeling.  I switched to taking it in the morning and that helped with the insomnia. I also slowly titrated by 5mg up to my recommend dose which lessened the side effects. All in all, I'm very happy with the results. I rarely get anxious anymore. For those of you just getting on to it, give it time."


"Highly addictive, caused Severe panic attacks, when tried to go off. Got this reaction after only 2 days, of 1-2, for sleep.

     Very dangerous drug. Helps you sleep, but  nearly impossible to stop! Most need rehab., was one of the meds., Heath Ledger had, in his system. Tammy Faye took up to 25-30 a day!

     Stay away from this drug!!?"


"I started taking 100mg of macrobid twice a day on Wednesday evening. It is now Tuesday, I have two pills left. One for this morning and one for tonight. I can't wait to be off this medication. My uti symptoms were gone between day one and two but I was told to take all the medication even if it gets better. I take this medication at 8am and 8pm. From about 4pm-6pm I am extremely nauseous, it's horrible. Then I also wake up off and on from 4-6am because of nausea. I always take the pill with a meal so I don't know why I'm still experiencing the nausea. That's the only bad side effect I have experienced so far. Can't wait to be done with this medication!"


"About 15 minutes after drinking the second bottle the diarrhea started. It was pretty severe and made it difficult to get through the CT Scan. It was followed by nausea and some weakness. It started early in the morning and is lasting well into the night."


"I've decided to get an IUD after I got pregnant for the first time.. I'm not planning to have any more babies, so def the IUD sounds like a good idea for birth control... Now I got Skyla last week and the procedure on my experience was painless I did not feel any cramps or nothing whatsoever, so I was very exited about it now two days later I felt a bump on my anus (hemorrhoids) so I'm considering this is a skyla side effect as I never had that problem before.. I'll def go to my OBGYN to have it check out but I will still continue on having the Skyla IUD for birth control purposes."


"I started Zoloft 2 years ago and was taking 100 mg daily. I quit cigarettes cold Turkey and figured I cold do the same with Zoloft. I probably have 3 or 4 days left till its out completely. Good thing no one crossed me in two weeks. Everytime you begin to get upset a surge races through your brain. Don't be like me. Wean off the right way."


"Works great, better than all the others.  "


"I am on the last three days of the 2nd two week application step. I'm using on my forehead and cheeks and what a mess. I'm covered in red itchy weeping spots and blotches. I have nausea but that's the price you pay for baking in the sun as a kid. I'm 62. This medicine seems to work and if you don't mind looking like your face caught fire for a few weeks to maybe save your life then go for it. "


"Was first given this for a skin infection on face that began on younger daughter 12 then spread to mother and older daughter. It was like acne that would not heal and would scab and spread. Worked well. "


"I have been taking this for many years. I do not have to take it everyday. When I experience back pain I take it. The only side effect I have had is constipation."


"Controls blood pressure very well, but causes impotence. I understand the diuretic part (hydrochlorothiazide) is the culprit, but it's very effective otherwise."


"Haven't had any side effects and feel that I'm losing weight...also have been told that I look smaller."

"I have experienced no adverse effects with this pill. Have been on it for about 6 months now. No weight gain! However, the first month I was on it, I did become very hungry often, after that no problems. My boobs did get a little bigger, which is great! The price of this pill is definitely right. Don't think I will be switching anytime soon!"


"Causes extremely bad cramping, and doesn't Always work"


"I had been having a mild sporadic cough for a week and a half before I started having the "under the weather" cold feeling. It started in my chest and was accompanied by body aches, sore throat, and headache from a dry cough. After two days of dry cough and developing Laryngitis from coughing so much, it moved up into my nasal area, where I started finally experiencing mucus. By the third day, I was feeling like crap and had no real appetite. So went to the local clinic. Diagnosed w/ cold, bronchitis, laryngitis.
Prescribed a 5 day antibiotic treatment 250mg.
The first day I had nausea, diarrhea, racing heartbeat for a couple hrs. I started feeling better after 2 days, kept taking antibiotic, side effects went away & so did the cold. Fast."
