"I got on this birth control when it first came in 2006 when I was 16, I was on it up until I was 22. Switching was the biggest mistake ever. I LOVED this birth control. I never had any problems with it. Lighter and shorter periods, cleared up my skin and no bloating or weight gain. The only downfall was I did get very emotional but that was it and maybe occasional breakthrough bleeding. Best of all it worked for me. I am switching back to this birth control and can't wait."


"Yasmin was the 1st birth control I ever tried.I used it for 3years, never had any issues. Before I had horrible acne and irregular menstrual. Yasmin cleared my skin beautifully!!  It also made my menstrual regular and I lost weight . I got off the pill for about 4 years then got back on the pill and was prescribed ortho-tri cyclen and that was awful. I'm now looking for something comparable to Yasmin that my insurance covers. Yasmin is like a miracle pill... pretty skin, got skinny and no babies"


"I've been on Xarelto 20mg a day for a year now, after I was hospitalized with a clot in my lung that came up from my leg. I've got no side effect at all."


"I have been using Atralin for a month now.  Though most users had seen significant improvement within 12 months, I've seen my face improved within the first week.  I've always had mild-moderate acne since I was 12 for the past 20 years and had never thought of going to the dermatologist until a month ago when my esthetician tried to introduce Retin-A/Treninoid to me during a facial.  My face did not have the initial breakout like most people and only a little peeling that lasted for a week, but of course, that was resolved with exfoliating my face.  Though I still have some acne, my dermatologist saw me today and said that they will go away with time and not leave a scar.  Since the first week, I had noticed the smoothness on my skin."


"I've had some stomach pain but nothing like before I was diagnosed. The taste is getting really bad in my mouth - I'm on day 7 but I just keep drinking water to get rid of the taste..it's like zingy, metal taste, raw like I burned my tongue of coffee. I do have cramping about an hour after taking but then it goes away. I have more bowel movements but I assume it's just the meds working. It's almost over. Hopefully I never have to do anything like this again.  I'm no longer tired, groggy, no energy - I feel fantastic - I had no idea it was the infection making me so ill."


"I never been on birth control until sprintec. I started the Sunday after my period and it made it heavier. Then got it again the placebo week and after that got my period for two weeks every two weeks! This last month it last nearly 3 weeks. I starting my period only a week and a half into this new pack and I just quit! Completely regret birth control in general. Only good things it did was clear my skin and make my boobs slightly bigger but not worth it at all. My mood swings were out of control and I completely lost my appetite so I lost weight. I miss eating and normal periods so I am happy to be done with you sprintec"


"Taking for inoperable squamous cell thyroid.  Will find out couple days if worked on tumor.  Side effects severe dry flaking skin sores in mouth, facial rash and fatigue. Worst constipation I have ever had in my life....all worth it if it helps shrink tumor!"


"Was diagnosed with Influenza and was prescribed Tamiflu. Cost me $140 out of the pocket. Took 2 pills and felt worse than I did before taking them. Vomiting was horrible. Then had to pay to go back to doctor because of all the vomiting. Gave me new prescriptions. Will just ride the flu out next time. Cost me more than just letting it take it's course. Tamiflu definitely not worth the cost or vomiting. Contacted drug company and no reimbursements are given."


"I've had a great experience on Chateal. I used to have terrible migraines and unbearable cramps that on more than one occasion threatened to send me to the ER (and only didn't because I couldn't stand up and walk to the car to get there), and that all stopped when I got on birth control. I started on Levora and switched to Chanteal, the transition was seamless. I haven't had any of my previous problems and...it just works. If you are the kind of person who is able to take your pill at the same time each day (and really be consistent), then I would absolutely suggest this pill."


"I bled very heavily for a month straight after getting it. It was awful. Now I'm not bleeding at all but I'm gaining weight. I wouldn't recommend it."


"Literally one hour into taking this pill and I am in bed laying fetal position almost crying from how bad my stomach cramps are. Just waiting for this to get worse."


"The worse pain I've ever had from any laxative EVER!! I could not believe the pain and nausea from  his laxative.....I mean the worse ever!!!!n"


"You rarely hear about hyperhidrosis being anywhere but in the arm pits so it took me a long time to discover Drysol as I have suffered with excessive facial, neck, scalp, upper chest and armpit sweating for almost 20 years and its becoming worse the older I get. Drysol is a lifesaver as my sweating has gotten so bad I don't want to leave the house most days. I have only been using it for 4 days but I have almost stopped sweating altogether. It does sting a little when applied but applying it with a tissue has helped reduce the stinging as you use less."


"It's a miracle. Hypercare saved my life. I had been suffering from smelling arm pits all my life to the point that used to have (all the time) baby wipes and a deodorant in my purse to refresh my under arms.  I don't need to do that anymore, thanks to Hypercare. I can deal with the burning and/or itching.  I'm 35 years old and for the first time in twenty something years I found something that works. AND WHEN I SAY IT WORKS I MEAN IT WORKS."


"I'm 59. Never had any issues with erectile dysfunction before. Five years ago experienced ED due to work stress. Tried Viagra and others and had the worst headache of my life. Tried it again a few months ago after starting testoserone replacement therapy. First 10mg Cialis which got me semi hard to penetrate but didn't last long. Tried 50mg of Viagra last week and OMG!  Felt like 19 yrs old.  My wife loves it. I feel like a man again. Was advised by doc to also "exercise" with pump to improve blood flow. 6 weeks later I've grown in length and girth. It is crazy expensive but feel its worth it now."


"The only good thing I can say about this pill is that I haven't gotten pregnant on it. My acne has gotten three times worse. Off the pill, I usually got one or two cysts around the time of my period, which was annoying but manageable. Ever since taking Sronyx, I get one or two new cysts almost daily. My mood swings are insane. My period comes at the same time every month, which I would thank Sronyx for if it didn't make me start bleeding two weeks before my period every month (so I essentially have been bleeding for two and a half weeks every month on this pill). I've heard that breakthrough bleeding can be common within the first three cycles of starting a new pill...if it continues after this cycle (my fourth) I'll definitely switch BC."


"After about one week I was out and active. Engaging with others again and doing much better at work. I also do not have the desire to sleep all day. I have lost weight also due to increased exercise and a minimal loss of appetite. Side effects are minimal, but sex is impossible. I take Paxil 40mg once a day and Xanax 1mg twice. I am a new person! I tried Prozac, Effexor, Seroquel and Lamictal with few benefits. Paxil is by far the best medicine I have ever tried. I am nervous however when I read about the horrible side effects of missed doses and stopping Paxil. "


"I've suffered from insomnia for years and found Temazapam highly effective.  However, I've read that it can be habit forming, and anecdotally, increase likelihood of dementia in older people, which I am.  I asked my doctor to prescribe Belsomna when it was approved by the TGA in Australia, as from online research I had done, it looked like it could be a viable alternative.  Started off promising - I'd purposely not drunk any alcohol or coffee, went to bed normal time, within half an hour, started to feel drowsy, but didn't fall asleep. Within 1 hour, I was wide awake and didn't sleep till after 3am.  Worst ever dry mouth next day;  hardly any saliva, which persists several days later; sooo unpleasant.  Won't take Belsomna again."


"In love! I am 19 years old and my height is 5'2" and weight 170lbs the day I started 04-06-14 and I'm starting to see results. I am a single mom, work, attend college, etc. and don't have time to exercise. I'll go to the doctor May 3, hopefully I can lose at least 10lbs by that time! Good luck everyone."


"I LOVE GIANVI! No mood swings, no weight gain, it's helped my acne, it controls my appetite, and my breasts have actually gotten bigger. I have been on and off of Gianvi for three years now (I tried different birth controls here and there but I always come back to Gianvi because it has always been the best for me) and it's absolutely free! I definitely recommend it, but like always, everyone is different."


"I never knew 54mg each morning could work wonders. No more struggling to pay attention during the day, impulsive outbursts, or late homework."


"I have been on Pristiq for 4 months now due to panic attacks and anxiety and after the first 3 weeks I saw great change, but a few weeks after that it seemed like it had just stopped working so my doctor doubled my dosage. Now I'm having nightmares. If I accidentally skip a dosage my head does this really weird thing and I just can't describe it. I am extremely irritable about every little thing or I'm just really happy (up and down). I have no energy most days. I just want to stay in bed and do nothing. I'm nauseated all the time. I've actually lost about 20 pounds in 4 months bringing me down to 101 pounds. "


"After taking Metformin for yrs. I suddenly developed chronic diarrhea.  I was put on Invokana as the next medicine to try and absolutely loved it. Weight loss and lower blood sugars. Unfortunately I also developed chronic diarrhea with this medicine also. I am now on Victoza and get headaches, stomach pain, racing heart, high blood pressure. I would definitely stayed on Invokana if I could."


"I have been on trazodone for years. In the past I have tried all of the other sleep drugs but they weren't working well anymore  so I was prescribed belsomra. WOW the nightmares are awful.  You are awake but stuck in a purgatory with the shadow figures over me. I was trying to call to my wife to wake me but kept falling back into this elaborate intertwined nightmare it lasted for hours."


"Let me preface this review by I did already get hormonal acne around my chin/mouth, but it was only when I was experiencing PMS.

I will say that for it's purpose, Skyla is extremely effective and I enjoyed not having to remember to take a pill everyday. It is a very smart medical device and I wish that I did not experience the side effects that I did.

I experience PMS like symptoms twice a month- once before my period and once when I ovulate. This include extreme cramps and severe hormonal acne all over my jaw, chin, mouth, and cheek. I had never gotten acne on my cheeks before my Skyla insertion. "


"Zolpidem does work fast. However, I have a right arm that goes to sleep on me easily. So if I take zolpidem, I make sure that I fall asleep in a position that will not cut the circulation in my arm."


"The only medicine that has managed my Interstitial Cystitis and helped me live a near normal life. Without it, I'd be dead or at least severely incapacitated, in a lot of pain and urgency. "


"I have been addicted to hydrocodone for 10 years; and recently my propensity to take a handful at a time almost killed me leading to my colon being. Removed due to ischemic colitis, coma, and 8 weeks in hospital.
I just went on Suboxone and am amazed at how well I am feeling. My body cannot take either the acetoaminophen or the withdrawals so Suboxone was my only hope.  I recently had a withdrawal event that landed me back in hospital for 10 days due to dehydration and malnourishment.  My nurse told me about Suboxone and as soon as I was discharged I went for it.  I am so glad I did.

I never thought that hydrocodone could cause an illness like mine but it did.  I can have life now due to Suboxone."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"If you are new to taking this medication or are currently on Warfarin, here are a few things to keep in mind:  (1) when you start this medication you will likely have a lot of acid - be sure to take Ranitidine but in half the dose most physicians will prescribe.  Zantac and other meds will change your body's PH and make you likely to get yeast & fungal infections   (2) there is no way to reverse the effects of Pradaxa which is a big issue if you are bleeding in a hospital's ER.  (3) Pradaxa is great when it comes to diet.  You can eat all the broccoli & vitamin K you want.  (4) Pradaxa does not require biweekly blood tests.  (5) Your joints will ache after 90 days on Pradaxa   (6) Vein pain is common."


"I have been taking 105mg slow release of phendimetrazine, once a day for 3 months. I haven't experienced any bad side affects. It has curbed my wild cravings & making it possible to cut my caloric intake from 3500 a day to 1500 - 1700 a day. I don't really exercise, but I get up & move & leave the house, whereas before I didn't move off the bed or couch & didn't leave the house but once a week  My only problem is, I have only lost 3 pounds. I don't drink sodas, I use sugarless foods & try not to eat any bad carbs. I am basically eating meat (beef, chicken & lean pork), yogurt, green veggies & a protein drink with a banana & blueberries. I am very depressed over this. I used to eat cookies, cakes & all kinds of bad snacks, now I don't."


"I use to take 180 10/325 norco for my chronic pain issues, I am bone on bone in my neck, left shoulder and left knee, I had a very serious operation in 2010 on my back, all kinds of hardware put in etc, I been going to pain management for 2 yrs and my Dr would not up my meds or give me anything else, finally my Dr wasn't there one day so I seen a nurse practioner , I was telling her my story, so she gave me 12 mcg fentenyl patch with 3 norco 10/325 a day for break thru pain, I tell you this med has been a life saver for me, I sleep better at night, my pain isn't 100% gone but it has been drastically reduced , Iam so happy !"


"I found out I had chlamydia. My stupid ex gave it to me after he begged and begged to take the condom off. I started having a lot of discharge. I didn't read the pamphlet I just took two pink pills on an empty stomach and went to sleep. The next day at work omg my stomach hurt sooooooo bad. Extreme pain. And now it's been two days and I still have discharge. Can't really tell if they'll work. Definitely take this with food!!!!!!"


"This medicine does a quick job of removing infection. Im taking this due to an abscessed tooth & the next day, Im feeling no pain. The only complications Im having is the side effects. Painful, awful stomach cramps where it feels like Im being stabbed & the blade is twisting around. The pain comes in waves. Also, Im terribly gassy on both ends & I have no appetite & a huge headache. I have found if I eat something fatty before and yogurt with it helps. I take 300mg 3x a day for 7 days. Im on day 2. Effective drug, horrible side effects."


"Have been on this medication for one month - using every other day.  It relieves the hot flashes completely however, I've noticed a significant amount of hair loss.  I was taking Ortho-prefest before and had some hair loss but not as much as I'm now experiencing.  I've decided to go back on Ortho-prefest even though it is not considered a generic and I'll have to pay more.  "


"Micardis has stabilized my blood pressure. I can't take the Micardis with HCT because I have had problems with my kidneys. I do feel less patient and irritable to my wife and kids."


"If you take this pill as directed, it will work. My boyfriend and I had an accident last Saturday and I took Plan B about 30 minutes later. I was very worried that I was going to become pregnant, and I basically worried myself sick over things I read online. I had some nausea and cramping but I got my period right on time with a normal flow. Don't worry ladies! "


"I started Ambien when Lunesta did not work for me, and it was effective in helping me sleep. One problem developed, I began getting up in the middle of the night and eating , especially if I thought of something before I dozed off (e.g. the chocolate cake I was saving til tomorrow, etc.).  I had to stop when I woke up with a cut on my hand, and realized I had cut up a leftover pork chop to eat. I had no recollection of eating, slicing my hand, or putting the bandage on. I cut down to half dose (5 mg) and the night eating stopped.  I wish I could find a substitute, but this really helps me sleep deeply and feel refreshed when I get up in the morning."


"Evekeo works great. It's more mild in regards to excitability in comparison to adderall.  Evekeo is Amphetamine Sulfate and carries 50% dextroamphetamine and 50% levoamphetamine.  Adderall is 75% dextroamphetamine and 25% levoamphetamine, so Evekeo is much smoother and wears off slowly vs adderall's fluctuating tapering.  It is much different than adderall.  Evekeo doesn't make you feel wired like adderall does.  It's a cleaner medicine.  Evekeo is a freebase Amphetamine while adderall has 4 different salts.  I would recommend the makers of Evekeo to make higher milligram tablets.  It's similar to a 10mg adderall IR.  It's just the ratio of ingredients that's the difference. Duration is said by pharmacists to be 12 hr's, buts more like 6."


"I was given a sample pack, but it has the opposite effects for me, as I had an increase in fear of danger, and worrying, I was extremely focused, and unable to sleep. My doctor has had me test a few anti anxiety meds Ativan, antidepressants, and the only one that works for me is Xanax at a low dose.
I would make sure you consult your doctor first on this one."


"I have been on cymbalta for years.  Recently I went through a series of extreme life changes.  Cymbalta didn't seem to be working.  I went into a deep depression.  My doctor switched me to fetzima.  I am on day 10 my medication.  I have notice extreme sweating and out burst of anger.  I was more laid back on Cymbalta.  I am hoping if I give it a little more time that maybe the effects will get better."


"I started taking Kariva when Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo became too expensive for me.  I have been on Kariva for the past 4 years.  Positives: predictable 5 day periods, no acne, less moodswings. Negatives: weight gain (20 pounds), NO libido whatsoever.  I was able to deal with the side effects for 4 years(my poor boyfriend), and now I've had enough. I've stopped taking it, immediately lost 5 pounds, have a great libido again, and find it easy to track my period with P-Tracker app. "


"For those who are dealing with symptom, make sure to take a full meal before you eat for me it eliminated the nausea completely. If I take it to long after I take the medication or don't eat I'll either vomit or can barely move with nausea."


"Got an infusion of Orencia on a Tues for worsening RA symptoms.  Wednesday,  I had a severe headache that basically incapacitated me. Thursday morning,  I woke up with the same headache, sensitivity to light and sound,  and a stiff neck. I was unable to stand up without vomiting.  ED doctor did lumbar puncture and told me I had viral meningitis. That experience has made me reluctant to try another biologic."


"I've been taking Alesse for 6 years. It's the only birth control I have ever used. And I love it. I've never had problems with it before. My periods are predictable, very light and regular. I don't experience mood swings, or any major cramping on the pill either. It controlled my acne as well. I would suggest Alesse to every girl."


"Used LMX4 to numb skin prior to blood draw.  Did not work at all."


"I've been using Alesse since April of 2016. It works as a contraceptive and my skin is clear, my moods are in check, my periods are much lighter now and it is also the first contraceptive that I have used. However, I have noticed lately that I'm hungry ALL the time. In fact, food is all that I think about some days which has caused me to gain almost 20lb in the past near-year I've used it. I'm not sure yet if this is due to the pills or if it is due to stress or something else, but otherwise alesse works."


"I had been taking Yaz for about 2 years then had to stop since I was switching jobs and lost my insurance for a few months.  When I first started taking Yaz I noticed MUCH lighter and shorter periods, no noticeable weight gain/loss, no mood swings or craving.  When I started taking the generic pills I felt the exact same and chalked it up to taking Yaz for so long, except when I recently switched back to Yaz my breasts were tender and a few days before my period I had bad migraines.  I really didn't think to relate these to Yaz until I read some of the other posts and heard of the side effects."


"My experience with Provera has been a very painful situation. I am 26 and was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome at the age of 22. I never had regular periods since the age of 15. I was always on some form of birth control to regulate. I was taking the Depo-Povera shot (depo shot) for about 6 months before I decided to get off due to the excessive weight gain. The Nurse Practitioner weaned me off of the shot and decided to give me the Micronor birth control pills which did not help as well. I have been on my cycle for 2.5. months. I can ot afford insurance,the only thing I could do was to go to the emergency room. I seen the ER dr there where she gave me the Provera 10mg four times a day. My bleeding has gotten heavier."


"I have been using Crestor for over 10 years and it has kept my cholesterol down in the normal range. With no side effects."


"So, I switched from Depo to Nexplanon simply so I didn't have to go to get a shot every 3 months. It saved me seem having to leave work and use vacation time. I've been using Nexplanon for alost 5 months now, and in the beginning, I liked it, but now... it's a totally differentry story. I haven't had the majority of the side effects, but I've had 2 that bother me the most: extreme breast tenderness and an increase in my acne. I hate it! I guess I'm going to go back to Depo soon because I was on that for 8+ years and never had a problem until I switched to Nexplanon. It really sucks and I feel pretty hideous and disgusting. I had more confidence in myself on my last BC method."


"Have been taking Cymbalta 60mg/day for 2 years - not many noticeable side effects other than sweats, daytime sleepiness and "flat" emotionally. Tried to wean myself off (due to insurance loss) and experienced horrible withdrawal symptoms - anger, restlessness, and an intermittent feeling inside my skull variously described by other users as "electric twingeing", "brain zap" or "head shock" (rapid pulses strong enough to make my eyes flutter; am back on for now."


"I have been on 10mg of Valium 3 times a day since 1998 and have had very good luck with it. I have tried other medicines but everything else seems to not work as well. Don't no what I would do if I didn't have it. I work 6 and 7 days a week. It doesn't affect that at all. I'm a lot calmer when I use it and still full of energy. "


"I have suffered from severe urticaria for years, claritin and zyrtec never did anything for me. I tried oatmeal creams and baths , benadryl and any kind of anti-itch cream I could find, nothing works like Allegra and Pepcid, as long as I take it daily I'm hive free. ALLEGRA is the answer to Hive sufferers."


"I've had this nexplanon for 2 1/2 years I loved it the first two years no periods no side effects everything was perfect. I don't know if it's because it's about to expire that I am now feeling all the side effects I'm sleepy all the time. I get massive headaches and I also get dizzy out of no where. I've also noticed that I don't have a sex drive anymore AND IT hurts after intercourse. I never thought it was possible but I did love it until now."


"My hair loss stopped in it's tracks years ago from finasteride and it's looking like I'll have a full head of hair for many years to come. My dad and brother were bald by 30 and I started around 23."


"Seeks to be working well, had 3 teeth extracted, and my dentist prescribed this medication due to the slight swelling prior to the extraction, which has gone done down considerably, along with the major pain and pressure that accompanied it before."


"Been on the depo shot since Oct 11 2015 ..even since I been bleeding non stop took my second shot January and still bleeding with clots and then is will slow down and come back again it February 22 2016 . I'm still bleeding I hate this and regret taking the shot.. I have been feeling dizzy and weak at times as well ... "


"I've had nexaplanon almost a year now. I got the nexaplanon when I turned 16. The first month with the birth control I had only a light period. After then I haven't had a period at all. I can barely feel the implant. It wasn't painful but however after you do get dizzy and sleepy after you get it inserted. The next day you will be more energized than ever. The only negative is that you gain weight. I went from being 180 lbs to being 220. It is horrible. I'm planning to get this taken off because of it. Overall I reccommend it if your 16 to 35 years old even to regulate periods."


"Have had knee pain for going on 10 years. Got to the point I couldn't take it any more and went to an ortho doc. He said right knee total bone on bone osteoarthritis and left knee is following but not completely bone on bone yet. He suggested Euflexxa shots, saying only other treatment would be a partial knee replacement. I figured it wouldn't hurt.  I had the shots in December, 2012.  First shot, no difference. Second shot, seemed to feel better, 3rd shot no change.  About a month after getting them my knees still hurt. Figured it didn't work. But now two months later, I can actually go up and down stairs with minimal pain. I can go shopping and as long as it isn't all day affair, I do fine.  Didn't take pain away completely, but is better"


"I've been dealing with IBS several years, to the point where it has taken over my life; virtually homebound. Started trying the FODMAP diet, which my doctor hasn't even heard of, and was gaining some control over my IBS. Then he gave me some samples of both Viberzi and Creon. The first day I tried both meds, I was a constipated, drugged, crying my eyes out, basket case. It stopped my bowel movements all together. No BM the first day; stomach felt bloated and tight, and I was in a stupor. The Creon SEVERELY exacerbated my depression. Second day, I took 1/2 a pill of Viberzi only and had a really sedated feeling and slept the day away. Not as much belly pain. Thinking about taking 1/4 at bedtime."


"I got the bar in late last year. I since put on 10kg in 6 months and had major mood swings. I got all the pregnancy symptoms other than a belly. I only just got it out about 2 weeks ago and I lost 3 kg in one week. But now my body is messed up and isn't coping well. I didn't get my period the whole duration and it still hasn't come. I cannot control my mood swings.

About a month before I got it out I was experiencing anxiety and depression.

The bar impacts everyone individually, but my experience was really bad.

My hormones are still trying to adjust.

Over. It."


"I am 38 yr female.. Woke up one morning anxious and worried (about 1.5 yr ago).. Thought i was just having a stressful week but it became endless.. I remain in the constant state of "being on the edge".. I can't focus on my children's conversations because my mind is in a million places, im always accusing and assuming my husband is lying or leading another life, I can't reember what it felt like to be excited about doing anything.. As much as I don't want to worry and speculate, it is all I allow myself to do.. I am able to put on a front at work, people think i am happy go lucky, but inside I am a train wreck! I'm on my third week in with lex, and so far have only added irritated to the mix.. I'm sticking it out tho, thanks to the reviews"


"I have suffered with migraines since elementary school. I am now 23. I finally got a doctor to prescribe me a perscription. I have taken fiorinal for about 3 weeks now. It is not helping at all. Putting a heating pad on my head works better than it does. Hopefully I can try something else."

"I've been taking Desogen for about a month. For the first 3 days I was taking it in the morning and was so sick after taking it I'd be in bed all day. So I started taking it right before bed. I've had stomach pains so bad I feel like I'm in labor. I went to the doctor to make sure it was the birth control and not something more serious. I had a pap smear and some blood work, but he said everything seemed fine. If it comes to be that nothing is wrong, I am going to stop taking."


"Just started on Victoza 3 days ago.  Self injection seems a bit daunting at first, but in reality, it's nothing.  No nausea at 0.6  so soon to 1.2.  Right now I weigh 295 pounds, and should weigh 180, so we'll see what happens.  Morning blood sugar this morning was 93.  I can live with THAT.

By the way, "eggy burps" usually means your stomach flora are dead, and you need live culture yogurt, or acidophilus milk to re-establish your colony.

"I had a yeast infection and I tried monistat 7 day and it worked as soon as I inserted it. It was a slight burn nothing that was just horrible but when I woke up there was no itching, no smell, not a lot of discharge, and this was just the first day. I thought It wasn’t going to work because all the negative comments but it really does work and it’s great. It is now my second day and when I inserted it I felt no burn at all. This product is awesome"


"It has changed my life"


"The best so far. I have had very good results - stopped itching and flares. However, I still have dark scars that need to go away. "


"I have psoriasis on my wrist, elbows and knees. It has been a month now and already seeing great results already, my wrist is all clear. My elbows and knees looking much better. The only side effect I have had is after taking the injection is I feel a little nauseous for about 2 days. Other than that I feel great."


"I took jardiance for about 3 months. During that time I lost over a stone and felt much livelier. But my blood sugar went up slightly, so doc refused to prescribe me any more. They then forced me onto victoza which is making me I'll. I had no bad side effects with jardiance. Yes I used to pee more, but at least it got rid of the  diarrhea I had before taking it. No thrush or anything, though the doc was hoping I'd get thrush so they could stop it. The docs seem to be completely against these for some reason. Trying to get it back."


"I was skeptical of taking anything for

weight lose.I have lost 10 pounds in less

than 2 weeks.I have so much energy!!!"


"I have been on Flomax and a catheter for 2 weeks. Had the catheter removed today. Only a few drops come out. Basically retaining all urine. Had to go back on a catheter the same day it was removed. The urologist only does the kind of surgery I want once a month. Looks like I may be on a catheter till March. No pain...just discomfort from catheter.
Flomax seems to be causing me problems in the morning. It takes at least an hour or more  just to get out of bed. When I rise to sit on the side of the bed my BP is good. But when I stand my BP goes to 9x/6x. I would pass out if I remained standing. I must lay down to regain a decent BP. Flomax plus aspirin are the only drugs I was taking. But I stopped the aspirin 2 days ago. Now only Flomax."


"As a physician and a sufferer of gout I can say without doubt that Naproxen works just as well as Indomethacin. "


"My 11 year old started taking this about a month ago and what a difference it has made. He is finally able to control his anger and think more rationally. However he is constantly "hungry". All I can do is educate him on good nutrition while on this medicine."


"I have been sweating from 7th grade to 11th grade...and never once told anyone. It was horrible! Not even my family new I had the problem. Well I'm so tired of hiding it and feeling insecure and skipping out on fun teenage things so I finally told my mom and she admitted to me that she also suffered from a sweating problem. She explained to me that she used Hypercare and so after going to the doctor I got some of this. I have used it for 4 days now, and each day I used it it worked better so I'm very happy! I'm hoping that it works in the future months so that I will be stress free about it when school starts! Thanks Hypercare."


"I have tried otezla twice the first time it cause horrible stomach pain and I had to discontinue it after three weeks. It worked miracles for my skin though almost all clear. I went to GI to get something to counteract the otezla. Went back on it and after two months on it I started having really bad panic attacks. I am not a panic person and have never had anxiety it got so bad I had to stop the pills. However be warned you can not just stop the pills you have to slowly decrease the dose the same way you have to increase in the beginning. I was not told this and ended up in the ER."


"First time I experienced a heart arrhythmia was following its use and stopped taking using medicine."


"I think Xanax works great taking it along with an antidepressant.  Right now I am currently taking 2 mg of Xanaz along with 20 mg of Celexa.  I believe it has helped me out it so many ways.  I used to have anxiety and panic attacks pretty much all day, or part of the day that I was awake.  I haven't felt this good about myself in a long time.  Sometimes I would get a panic attack just from walking in a public place, such as a supermarket, and then came the heavy breathing and the nervous feeling out of nowhere. But the Xanax put all the feelings to rest.  I know it's a narcotic and it can be abused and it also can cause dependency.  But if used the right way I know it can work for some of the worst conditions of depression."


"The mirena is amazing. I've had it in for almost 6 months now. I had some heavy bleeding in the beginning bc I never had a child before and my body naturally pushed the mirena out. I went back to my doctor and they put a new one in and this time its stayed in. After the second placement I had heavy bleeding for the first month. After that I had no bleeding at all. I haven't had my period in 3 and a half months. I do get light period every now and again but its never heavy enough to have to use a pad or tampon. All you need is a panty liner and you'll be good to go. If you have the mirena put in and start bleeding soon after make sure you don't use tampons bc this can likely pull the mirena out and that would hurt. Its amazing!"


"At first, Viibryd was God send. I was always happy, no sexual side effects, no fatigue: it worked absolutely great. I went through the trial pack and forgot to get a prescription. About 2 months go by (because I'm lazy) and I finally go to the doctors to get another trial and a prescription. This time around of starting up, there's major side effects. The medication SOMEWHAT helps with my depression now, and I still get a strong sense of paranoia and hopelessness. The medication has STRONG sexual side effects now, and all arousal whatsoever is gone now. The insomnia is TERRIBLE. I get maybe 3 or 4 hours of sleep now. And might I mention I'm on the low dosages; I haven't even started the 40mg yet."


"After reading the reviews I am scared to take these patches , my first worry I told the pharmacist was it falling off and possibly getting into the hands of my grandkids and she assured me it won't Reviews say different ...with all the negative reviews I think I will suck up this broken rib ..."


"My son was put on Risperidone when he was three and half years old. It has helped him some, but he was is still extremely aggressive and would take off running out into road and parking lots. So, his psychiatrist said he had to put in psych. ward to try new medicine. They upped his risperidone to 0.50mg twice a day and added Depakene 205mg. twice a day. He's still very aggressive and out of control and moody. He's only 5 and in 12 more inches he's going to be as tall as me."


"I have lost 6.3 lbs in 3 days. Yay."


"So I have used the samples of this medication and it worked great, but recently I got my prescription filled for it and it seemed to exacerbate cystic acne on my neck, jawline. I read the ingredients and it contains a form of silicone that can worsen cystic acne. Is the sample formulation different or did they change the ingredients recently?"


"This has been a terrible experience for me. I've been on Apri for about a year and at first had no major complaints. My periods were still 2 weeks long but they had always been. Over the past 6 months my periods have been miserable. Emotionally I'm a wreck, I cry all the time about everything. I feel like a crazy person but at the same time have no control over the crying. I'm constantly moody and irritable. I sweat like crazy when I have my period and often feel like I'm going to pass out. My periods still last 2 weeks one light week followed by a heavy week. I never had clear skin but this pill has only made it worse. I would not recommend and will be changing within the week so I do not have to experience another month like this."


"I'm another, I don't normally write reviews, but I need to for this. 40 Y/O NP.  I received the Skyla 20 days ago, while on my period.  The insertion- weird, painful, almost stopped, but didn't. Afterwards was crazy. I had taken 600mg ibuprofen  an hour before the appt.  I was almost terrified by what I had read.  After the insertion, I got up, went to the front desk to make my follow-up appointment, and started to feel queasy.  My home is only a mile away and I thought, just need to get there.  Got out of my car and fell flat on the ground /, face first.  Crying, it was AWFUL.  That all said, 20 days later, no issues at all. At this point highly recommend, even after passing out!"


"Geodon is wonderful for me. For a very long my mind was cluttered with particular obsessions. I couldn't think straight. I've tried Luvox, Anafranil and a few other augmenters, nothing worked. Now, I take a low dose of Geodon 40mg a day with 300mg Luvox--and have success. It's not a total cure, but, I would say symptoms are 70-80% better."


"Doxepin works great for insomnia at 10 mg. "


"I started taking birth control pills a few years ago but after trying 5 or 6 different ones, I started taking OTC.  This is the ONLY pill I have tried that does not make me bleed through half the pack, clears up my acne to an extent, does not affect my mood, and makes my cramps basically nonexistent.  It is a miracle pill for me.  I think because it has varying amount of hormones each week that mimic your own cycle, it works better for many women.  I have not experienced any difference in my weight, I've started working out since I began taking this pill and have lost a little weight.  The thing I am happiest about though is that I do not have breakthrough bleeding."


"I got the Implanon implanted in December 2009 and at 1st I hated it. Now after a year I'm starting to like it. For the 1st 6 or 7 months my periods were irregular and almost constant. I also gain 30pounds. My skin has always had problems with eczema, but once I went on this birth control it went crazy with rash covering my whole body. Now that I've had it for more then 9 months I have my complete sex drive back, bleeding has come more regular but still kind of crazy, my skin has cleared up and I'm feeling less depressed. So I agree with most of the doctors when they say stick it out because it does it better and with all the side effects it has given me I still think it is better than having to take a pill every day."


"As a former bartender, I'm a night owl by nature. Now that I'm in law school and have 8am classes, I can't afford to be up all night. It ruins my entire next day because I cannot think and I am useless. Also, lack of sleep depresses me and gives me anxiety. Anyhow, I have tried literally everything under the sun- Ambien, Sleepy time, Valerian, melatonin, Simply sleep, and 4-5 others, both natural and not, and Sominex is the only one that has ever consistently worked to not only put me to sleep, but KEEP me asleep, on most nights. Occasionally I'll have an off night when I wake up mid-sleep or when I'm super groggy in the morning, but at least 90% of the time it works great. I usually take it about 1-2.5 hours before I want to fall asleep."


"When fall sets in so do allergies where I live. After a trip to the doctor I was prescribed Allegra D- 12 Hour, and found that I had the sinus pressure relieved within 2 1/2 - 3 hours. However when drugs.com list states 'dizziness' as a side effect, they're not kidding. I had to get someone to take me home because I (personally) was too dizzy to even walk straight. So if this is prescribed to you I would suggest taking it on a day 'off' such as a weekend, or at night to discover how it affects you personally before you take it on a work day and find out the bad way."


"Just got done with Suprep yesterday. Had to take 1st dose at 3pm. Didn't look up reviews. First gulp yuck! I had to mix the bottle w/cold water to make 16oz. I started whining about needing to finish it. I did and hoped I didn't barf it up. Started drinking the required 32oz of liquid. I chose water and apple juice. In 40 min. it worked. Neverending toilet trips. My bottom was on fire even using Vaseline. 9pm and I have to do it all again. I wanted to cry; the taste, the endless toilet trips, the raw rear end"


"I've heard nothing but good things about this form of birth control, so I decided to give it a try. It is implanted and lasts for about 3 years. Being a 21 year old college student, that was perfect. I'm going to warn you, the implantation process hurts. I have a high pain tolerance and it was painful. Not worth crying over, but definitely painful. My arm hurt for like a week after the initial implant. I kept my arm wrapped, for more cushion and support. If I would move my arm a certain way I would feel a sharp pain shooting in my arm. After about a week the swelling and bruising went down and no more sharp pains. I had no other side effects. No emotional changes, no weight gain, no acne, ect. Minor abdominal cramping, but that's it (:"


"Just started Byetta this week.  No nausea!  I am tired but only in the evening.  I usually sleep 7 hours a night, and during this first week am sleeping 9 hours a night.  I am eating FAR less and feeling completely satisfied.  I am HOPEFUL..."


"I've been taking this med 600mg once a day at bedtime for 5weeks. It seemed to help stabilize my mood but I noticed more hair coming out than usual. I found out that it makes birth control pills less effective. Unfortunately, I can't continue this med for those reasons"


"Been on 3 other ADD meds. This one seems to work great for me. I can focus stay on task and get my work done. Plus I can sit and relax with out feeling like I have be on the go all the time."


"This drug is very effective.  I had surgery earlier today

on my rectum, and I get complete relief from four milligrams taken by mouth. The sole side effect appears to be a degree of sleepiness, but compared to other drugs of similar potency, this one seems to induce minimal impairment.  The horrors (hallucinations) are readily controlled by a small amount of valium."


"Started at 24. Took it until 44. It's the only medication that ever worked for me.  I was a guinea pig for 6 months. 2 days after taking it, it was a miracle medicine. I actually called my Dr thanking him. I had finally gotten the elephant off my chest. Never abused it, sometimes dealing with anxiety so as not to get addicted.  Are there any Drs left that will prescribe real, working medication for people who really need but do not abuse it. I do not need a psychiatrist, I just need (as one put it) one in hand just in case. Doctors today think it's taboo to even mention this medication.

 I'm not 15 nor do I abuse it. I take a 1 mg at night and sleep like a rock. Hey Drs, this medicine works!!!"


"Bad side effects. I had bad sweating, muscle stiffness, nausea that would not go away. I had to quit."


"I took it along with Cipro for diverticulitis. There was not a lot of effect for the first 2 days but after that the drugs started to work and I started feeling better. After a full 7 days I'm glad to be finished. I had taken cipro on its own before with minimal side effects. With the combo I found that there were quite a lot. I was quite listless and almost depressed and tired plus my joints are very sore. There is a nasty taste in my mouth and my tongue is sore and very grayish. I was very moody for a few days but this seems to have stopped. Since the diverticulitis makes me feel really awful, I was grateful for the antibiotics and they worked.  Many people have reported diarrhea but  I did not, pee certainly turned a dark orange."


"Over a year ago, I was plagued by a 3 month bout of depression along with my daily battles with GAD. By the end of the summer, I finally went to a psychiatrist. At first he put me on Lexapro, which I thought would help because by boyfriend had been taking it. I immediately gained ten pounds in 2 months... With my history of an eating disorder in my childhood, this worsened my anxiety and also the Lexapro wasn't really working well anyways. I finally switched to Cymbalta. I began with a 30 mg dosage which began to put a smile on my face. Its effect was subtle for about a month so we decided to up the dosage to 60mg. It was night and day. I was finally able to relax and i genuinely felt happy, almost like I could finally smell the roses."


"Used with oxycodone Norco has helped. Norco is not that great by itself."


"This medicine is great. I take 7.5/750mg 2 times a day.  Been taking for two years.  It is still very effective for me."


"I've had bad reactions to every mood stabilizer I've tried, but this was truly the scariest. I had to withdraw from college because I was sleeping constantly, crying for 8 hours at a time, and hallucinating. I eventually became suicidal and landed myself in the hospital for 2 weeks. I know that everyone reacts differently and finding the bipolar cocktail is a painful trial and error process, but if you have this experience, I wanted you to know you are not alone."


"It was a long 3 days of food eating in the Christmas holidays. None stop eating of diversified, cultural, gourmet food, that literally hardened like cement in my intestines blocking the only safe exit passage of excessive debris. Finally took one blue pill as a desperate measure for relieving myself like a normal human being feeling like a pig. Having farted a single time three hours later, I had to take my second blue pill and hope for the best. Will get back to you with an update report as soon as a major bowel evacuation occurs."


"This seems like a miracle for pain from kidney stones in the ureter.  The first stone that I tried it on had given me several quite significant bouts of pain and the 4-5 mm stone passed a couple days after starting with no additional pain.  I have since used it on two other stones that turned out to be about 3 or 3-4 mm and have passed them with essentially no pain after starting Flomax.  So, that is 3 stones passed with essentially no pain after taking the Flomax and a total of 6 pills of Flomax used.  "


"This medicine does work. I took it for about a month before I had a really bad reaction though. I had an itchy hive looking rash and it turned into welts all over my body including my face. My eyes swelled up and were really puffy too. I wish I could've stayed on the medicine for the 3 month period because it does work I have a clean toenail growing in but I had to stop the medicine so hopefully it stays that way. If you develop a reaction or an allergy to this it really sucks but it does work. I recommend not missing a day and always taking it at the same time everyday. I took it everyday when I woke up but I got sick and stopped taking it for a couple days, coincidentally when I started taking it again the reaction happened."


"Hi,

Almost two years ago, I started on a dose of 0.5mg of Klonopin twice a day (or as needed) along with 20 mg of Celexa (citalopram).  I would say Klonopin is an effective drug and useful for treating anxiety and panic attacks.   However, my advice would be to make sure that you are working with your doctor if deciding to cut down on/taper off of Klonopin.  I weaned my dose off without talking to my doc a few times.  Mostly OK (days of some side effects notwithstanding), however, once it was pretty bad.  I recall feeling -- edgy -- all day at work, and then later that night feeling horrible.  I didn't want to eat, I cried, and I kept having anxious thoughts.  I would not recommend leaving Klonopin cold turkey unless you really feel ready."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"These by far are the best vitamins you can take. The nutritional value is the best and these don't make you sick like the other ones. I would recommend these."


"Pristiq worked well for me for 6 months on the 50 mgs than it stopped working. Switched to the 100mg and know its working again. Works really well for depression and anxiety. Makes you feel really confident, talkative, makes it impossible to orgasm and it does keep you up at night. Hopefully it won't poop out on me. When switching doses you have to give it at least 3 weeks to feel the effects. Initial side-effects do subside."


"work well for arm but arm started swelling"


"I have chronic gout problems, been having for 15 years. Advil works good for my back pain and most of the time for joint pain if taken at the first feeling of gout flare. Taking four 200mg caps at a time."


"I was on LoSeasonique for almost a year. The first few months were great, some spotting every now and then but nothing major. About 2 months ago, I took a pill one day late. Consequently, I have been spotting for the entire two months. My gyno tried everything, putting me on a weeks worth of estrogen and then a regimen of taking multiple pills a day for week. Nothing worked. I've been miserable and bloated and have gained a few pounds.

Before this, I really liked this pill. If you take it, make sure you take it at the SAME time every single day. She said pills with this low dose of hormones are more likely to to do this. I'm currently having to switch to another pill just to make the bleeding stop."


"Haven't been hospitalized since I started taking it. But I did gain a little weight."


"I have tried basically everything for my acne and Rosacea, I’ve been on this med for four weeks and I have blackheads everywhere and three large cysts on my chin. I know you’re supposed to give it 8 weeks but my skin has gotten SO much worse in a short time I think I’m going to discontinue"


"I have cronic pain due to neck and head pain. I have been taking elavil for 5 years 75mg a night. It doesn't help with the pain but I am able to sleep past the pain. If you have issues sleeping for what ever reason give it a try. I can sleep most of the night and I do not have a hang over the next morning."


"A great non sedating/non addictive muscle relaxer. Works much better than flexiril. No side effects for me."


"I have had the most irregular periods for years as well as horrible acne. When I would get my period I had really bad cramps and it was heavy. Since starting Sronyx 3 weeks ago I have been so happy and my sex drive is way higher. My acne has gotten much better and my boyfriend has said sex feels better (I agree) I should be getting my first period since starting the pill this week!"


"I was taking this Microgestin Fe 1/20 just over 4 years. I got really bad headaches and gained weight, and I was very moody."


"I have been taking Saxenda for a month and today i weighed in and im happy to report that ive lost a total of 26 pounds. This medicine is excellent!! I put myself on 1350 calories a day but i have to force myself to eat at least 700 calories a day. I give myself the shot at night because i was told i would have less nausea during the day. It use to make me very tired during the day but now i barely have any side effects besides the dry mouth. Finally something that works for me..."


"I've used Lyrica for a while now and it seems that my body is getting so used to the drug that it's not working like it first did. I take 75mg in the morning and 75mg at bedtime. I either need to increase my dose or find something else that will work. It's hard to function during my days because of the pain."


"I feel better. I like it. "


"Just finished starter pack of Viibryd. This medicine was great from the very beginning. Had a little GI upset at the start of 40mg. The best medicine I have taken for depression, it has given me a much better outlook on life. Told my DR yesterday, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Viibryd is awesome."


"I have been taking this pill for 3 years only 2 pills a day it doesn't do any thing for pain I take just to feel normal and do stuff I just found out  I'm 3 weeks pregnant I'm trying to get off it. Maannn it's so hard, feeling no energy, sick, sneezing, every inch in my body hurt specially my legs, my heart beating crazy and mix of pregnancy/ withdrawal depression I wish I never start it it's a nasty pill stay away from it ."


"Taste is not horrible but not great. Little too sweet for me, but I am not into sweets. I found it harder to drink the second portion. I highly rcommend licking a lemon wedge after each gulp, helps a lot. I spent a lot of time on the toilet. I drank second portion at 8pm and was still going at 12am. Also, this continued the next morning, obviously not as much though. It did its job cleaning me out. No abdominal cramping or pain; however, after drinking first portion some upper stomach cramping but not bad. Giving it a 9 not a 10 because the taste could be better and I spent a lot of time on the toilet."


"I only gave Viibryd a 5 out of 10 due to one thing: diarrhea.  If it wasn't for that I would still be taking it. It was a hit and miss thing for me. I would go over a week and be fine and then week after week I would have diarrhea at around 2-3 times a week.  Tried it with food and after food and didn't seem to help. Don't get me wrong, I can deal with a little diarrhea but this was insane diarrhea with bad stomach cramps.  Took it around 6 months and weened myself off it. Would not recommend quitting cold turkey. Even weening myself off at 20mg's made me real irritable for about 2 weeks. "


"I began this birth control when I was 17 and my experience wasn't pleasant. I began taking Microgestion Fe 1/20 in June 2015. When I first began the pill, I had pretty bad nausea and was extremely emotional for the first month. On my second month, I became depressed and began to have anxiety attacks for just about everything. When my boyfriend and I would have relations he would tell me I was shedding more hair than normal. I paid more attention to it and my scalp began to hurt as if I had my hair in a ponytail and just took it out. Every time I'd shower or brush my hair chunks would come out, by the third month I had lost about 30% of my hair and had noticeable bald spots. Not a pleasant experience. Life got better when I stopped taking it"


"About a year ago I started having symptoms of RA (seronegative).  I started on prednisone 20mg which helped somewhat but I was having flare ups in the ankles and hands.  Finally got switched to Celebrex because the pain and swelling were not going away. 200mg daily - all I can say is it's been like night and day since I started taking it - less pain, less swelling, better days!"


"Very good medicine. Helped me out of three days of non stop panic attacks. Went to the ER and the doctor wrote me a prescription."


"Doryx is the only medicine that can clear up my Rosacea outbreaks now.  Oracea can help a little bit, but my problem areas keep reappearing when I'm on that pill. (The facial creams used to work on me when I was younger, but once I became diabetic, the creams did not help)."


"I been taking this med for 3weeks and i dont see much results I was hoping to see "better" results as soon as i started taking it but no :/ </3 i'm getting dissapointed I'm only 23yrs old and i have bad acne as much as I pretend I dont care i do so i really hope it works at some point and have am Okay face :("


"FINALLY! My whole life I've had a problem going number 2 so much so I would only go 2-3 times the entire month. These past few months however things took a turn for the worse. My poop became severely impacted. I would push and push for hours only to get a pea sized amount out. I couldn't sleep because I could feel the pain and pressure there.  It was bad. I tried liquid laxatives you drink and they did the trick but the second they wore off the constipation and pain was back. Then I heard about Miralax and had my fianc"


"I'm 18 years old, and I had never had a yeast infection in my life until recently. I was experiencing itching first and the burning, and it hurt terribly to walk. My mom told me to get monistat 7 & immediately after the first does, there was an increase in burning and itching, but I applied aloe Vera around the outside of my vagina (vulva) and took ibuprofen for relief. After 3 days of taking monistat, my infection had cleared up completely. I haven't fulfilled the full 7 days, but I'm very happy w/ Monistat."


"I've taken Goody's Powers and BC Powers off and on for decades. It really does work! It's bad for the stomach, but most all these medicines/drugs/prescriptions are bad for the stomach. It works quickly & affectively.Within 20 minutes or less you will feel the pain subside. I prefer it over the bottles of headache meds. It would be nice it it came in the form of tablets, capsules even gels. If wanting to try, just put the power on the back of your tongue and swallow with a glass of sweet tea or juice. It makes it bearable for those that don't like the taste or can't stand it. I usually drink water, but I'm accustomed to it. That reminds me there's Standback Powers also. Try not to take more than is actually needed... less is better."


"The best advice I can give about Epiduo is to definitely be patient! I know its easier said than done when like me, you're fed up with your skin and want something to work as quickly as possible. After trying almost every product under the sun, the latest thing I went on was the Epiduo. After 3 months, and using a simple light nivea moisturiser before applying, the cream really started to work and I saw massive improvements in my skin!! The redness of my spots completely cleared and now my skin is almost totally clear and I feel so much more confident! Patience really is the key to Epiduo, stick with it and you'll see just why it's worth it! Definitely recommend!"


"Got Nexplanon in July 2015, procedure was super simple. Got a shot of lidocaine in the arm and it was over in 30s. Getting blood drawn hurts more. Had a nice bruise on my inner arm for about 10 days. My cycles are (were) unpredictable, so I had it done on a random day instead of in the middle of my period like they recommend. I had 2 weeks go by, got my period. Period lasted 2 weeks. Stopped for a week, then I spotted for 3 more weeks. Haven't had anything resembling a period in 6 mos. Mood is levelled out, the light acne I'd get on my face has been absent. No weight gain, but I do work out almost daily. No sensory irritation. Sex drive hasn't changed. Don't let the other reviews scare you. Try letting your body adjust before removal. 10/10"


"After benzoyl peroxide made my skin worse, I was prescribed differin cream 0.1%. Results were slow at first but with maintaining a good skincare routine and healthy diet my skin showed huge improvements after about 2-3 months of use. Little side effects, some dryness but as to be expected with any acne product and easily resolved with moisturiser. Felt a lot less harsh on my skin than benzoyl peroxide. I am left with some spots and scarring but the effects have been overall brilliant. Would reccommend sticking with it for a few months to see best results!"


"I wasn't able to pass a full bowel movement for a week. It had gotten to the point that I hardly wanted to eat anything and when I tried to go it, only small pieces would come out. My mom finally gave me 2 of these Dulcolax overnight pills at about 700 pm. By 1030 pm, I felt normal mild diarrhea cramping which led me to make my first bowel movement. At 1 am, I was woken up by slight nausea and mild cramping again. This time, my movement was mostly water and small soft stools. I also felt really tired afterwards, but that's because I was already sleepy. I believe I will use this again because it does the job with minimal side effects."


"I took Benzonatate about a year ago. I get really bad allergies which triggers my asthma which leads to me having a terrible cough. My doctor prescribed me benzonatate and it worked very well for me. I felt like I couldn't breathe and once I took the pill about 30 mins to an hour later I felt like a new person. Currently it is allergy season for me so, unfortunately I am in the same position once again. I took benzonatate earlier today and thankfully it worked for me once again."


"Hello everyone, I have had my Mirena for 5 weeks now and I guess everyone's body responds to medication differently. Mine was inserted due to heavy bleeding and removal of a polyp within my uterus that had caused even more heavy PROLONGED bleeding.  I have had 3 children so I felt no pain during insertion but mild cramping after insertion that lasted the rest of the evening that I cured with Aleve. 3 days after insertion I begin to have mild spotting that only required the use of a panty liner but quickly turned into heavy bleeding that lasted 2 weeks then all of sudden stopped as quickly as it came. I am happy to say no problem since, no side effects, would recommend Mirena to my friends & family. I will do it all over again."


Vicks QlearQuil Nighttime Allergy Relief

"This did not work for me at all. I lay in bed for the third night in a row, congested and unable to sleep. Not sure why it doesn't work for me, but I am severely unsatisfied. No side effects, but no desired effects either."


"I have been taking Levora for the past 6 months or so. I LOVE IT. I have no severe side effects except tender breasts sometimes. Sex drive has also definitely increased. The only problem I have with Levora is that when its time to take the "reminder" pills it takes a few days to get my period....it always scares me....but so far, my period has always come. ALL IN ALL, I'M VERY HAPPY WITH LEVORA."


"I have been on Rythmol SR for two years.  Take 425 mg twice a day along with Topral and Warfarin.  I am now feeling great, rarely have atrial fibrillation episodes.  I no longer have the squeezing tennis ball feeling and chest throbbing at night, so I sleep better.  I have observed no unwanted reactions. I am 77 years old."


"I'm 18, female.
I seem to have drawn the short straw with this medicine. I'm very lightheaded, sensitive to light, and lethargic. On top of that, I've had headaches and dry-mouth, and I've lost my appetite.
I suppose my symptoms have improved, but things are only better in the hours after taking the pill. Since I didn't have severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome, just cramping and frequent trips to the bathroom, the side effects negate the benefits. I cannot function as well as I would like. My lightheadedness has kept me from moving around much. I'll definitely be asking to have my dose lowered/the medication stopped, because I'd rather be in some pain than be on the verge of passing out whenever I stand."


"I cannot speak highly enough of this medication. I have had general anxiety for as long as I remember. I have always had a fast heartbeat (a physiological symptom of my anxiety), regularly got palpitations randomly, I often had skipped and missed heartbeats which freaked me out, far more often I believe than the general population. After trying SSRI's and benzo's I asked my Dr for this medicine after doing some research. Well I cannot believe it, I feel calm, nothing panics me. It is not addictive like other first line treatments for anxiety. My heart does not race randomly, even the skipped beats I used to get numerous times a day have all but gone. In my opinion if you have anxiety, this should be the first port of call. Its changed my life."


"It worked well, but is NEVER available. My pharmacy has been ordering it for over a month. Do yourself a favor and find something that isn't backordered for weeks at a time."


"Had the depo shot for about 60 weeks now. I too, experiened bleeding for quite a while until my 3rd shot (very light) but it look like a normal side effect! Now I am completely fine, not gained any weight, no migraines, no pms. Sometimes bleeding a week before I'm due for my next shot but I was assured that is common."


"Best medicine for anxiety."


"I have been on Mircette for a little more than 2 years now and it has worked pretty well for me. My doctor prescribed Mircette because I had very painful period cramps and long periods. Physically, Mircette was perfect for me. No bad side effects (acne, weight gain, breast tenderness) and barely any cramps. I got my period the exact same time every month and it always lasted 5 days. I only started to notice a problem within this past year. My mood is completely different when I am on the pill versus when I am not. I am more irritable, tired and have no sex drive. When I am on the pill versus when I am not is like black and white; I am two different people."


"This medicine has been very effective for my pain relief. I have had severe back pain for 10 years and it is the best pain reliever I have taken."


"I took Apri for 2 years. I have experienced extreme bloating (went for 112lbs to 118 lbs just of retained water). Blurry vision in my left eye, tiredness, chest pain sometimes, could not drink any alcohol it would make my bloating worse. I changed to Yaz 2 weeks ago and I feel like a brand new person. No more bloating, I feel great!"


"I had several trips to the Hospital for GERD Attacks.  The doctor said it was cause of the Metoprolol.  My doctor changed it and I had no more Gerd Attacks."


"I'm on my second cycle of Sprintec and so far it's great! My period was short and my breasts seem to be increasing in size. I have no cramps or bad side effects."


"Lortab helps me get to sleep in 20 to 40 minutes. Otherwise it takes me 3 to 4 hours."


"I've been on the NuvaRing for several years, and because it's so expensive I'm switching to an IUD. Side effects have been very mild, such as slight decrease in vaginal lubrication, occasional vaginal irritation, and slight decrease in sex drive. It was overall a positive experience, but it costs so much and I'm hoping the lower hormone doses in an IUD will boost my sex drive a bit."


"After suffering from mild depression and anxiety, I was much anticipated to use this medicine to help me. I have to date been on this medicine for close to 5 weeks, and I can say the first two-three weeks may have been hard to get through, but I managed, and I can happily say; this may be the best medicine on the market for fighting/ combating depression! I can't remember the last I have felt like this! Thank you Pristiq for bringing me back to what I used to be!"


"So I have had nexplanon for 2 months now, this is the first bc Ive ever taken, so all is new to me. The 1st wk was no problem, the next 3 wks I had some acne & sever breast pain, massive breast swelling & also mood swings. I have had a pd (super light dark spotting) once and it lasted 3 weeks, but since had no other spotting. I got acne when my second pd was supposed to happen, but no bleeding. tbh everything is actually really awesome however, my moods & anxiety are ABSOLUTELY terrible. I have had anxiety issues & currently take medicine, but lord, this is severe. I have never felt this bad, I have ZERO control over my emotions. I constantly feel crazy and will have moods without reason. Idk if I should take it out or soilder through. :/"


"This is AMAZING. 100% worth it! I didn't think this would work for me, I thought my hyperhidrosis would be too severe but it's not! I had no burning or itching either and it worked after the next night! I HIGHLY recommend this. Truly life changing."


"A game-changer for me and as a result, my family. I felt panicked, angry and had racing thoughts. Within a few days I was more calm, within weeks I was relaxed and could think rationally rather than be anxious. I've continued to take it as I just feel so much better as a result."


"I have gotten this implant about couple months ago bc I couldn't get the mirena. At first I had the depo shot and I actually like it better but I wanted something that lasted a little longer and a doctor told me to get it so I did. Big mistake I did of getting it, when I had gotten it, it freaking hurt  like my arm had hurt for like a while, then time passed I got bad acne and I really don't break out much but man it was bad, on top of that my hair was falling out like crazy my hair was getting thin a lot,on top of that I gained weight now, also the bleeding was annoying it wouldn't go away and before I got my period my pH balance was horrible I couldn't even have sex at all cause of the implant."


"I have tried most prescriptions for fibromyalgia since diagnosed almost 20 years ago without much success. My current regime includes Cymbalta, Nucynta, and Tramadol with Oxycodone as needed for BTP. This combination has proven very effective."


"significant reduction in Migraine frequency"


"I have been using Viagra for about 2 weeks. I previously was taking 5mg Cialis for daily use for about a year. That was great at first but firmness tended to be not as strong at times. My doctor gave me 50mg Viagra samples and my wife and I could tell a big difference! It is more expensive but you could buy the 100mg pills and cut them into halves or even quarters. I am over 50 and have great sex with my wife at least 3 - 4 times weekly. Stay away from the fake stuff.

I am very thankful to the doctors who made available these medications in my generation! When I think about it, my sex life is greater now then when I was 20!"


Dasabuvir / ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir

"Began at viral load 1540000.

Week 5 and Virus is undetected.  Side effects are almost nothing.  A little fatigue but that's it. Continuing 7 more weeks, of course.  I've been told it's important to continue the entire program even though it shows undetected today.

Very optimistic! Good luck to you"


"I've been on Dilantin for about 20 years and it works for me."


"It should be an over the counter drug. It does not induce sleep in fact doesn't do anything Merck should be embarrassed.  My sorry  insurance company made me switch from generic Lunesta because that have this stupid rule about prior authorization . My doctor does not give prior authorizations ( I will be changing doctors soon). This drug is not even worth the insurance discount I get, it's not even worth being on the market. I feel stupid paying 35 bucks for it, couldn't imagine being stupid enough to pay more than that for it."


"Hypercare is incredible for my armpits. Wet spots still show on my T-shirts sometimes, but not a lot. At least they're not dripping like they used to ...
the downside is that if used too much it will burn. Once every 3 or 4 days is good enough. Another thing is that this doesn't really work for my hands and feet. Overall, this is great."


"Started Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) which is known to modulate the immune system. Calms, sit down if necessary, or kicks it in gear. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 2010 with a rheumatoid factor (RF) of 361. Started antibiotic therapy (described at Rheumatic.org/faq) in September 2010. Summer of 2012 my RF was down to 25. Started LDN that fall. RF now down to 14.9 (0-14.5 is normal). I have NO symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Even my doctor is impressed. The LDN helped boost my health overall. It even prevented my seasonal hayfever. I have found, however, that not all generics are created equal. "


"I had a rectal rash that pain pills were almost useless on and within 2 days of taking this medicine, my rash was gone. If I only take 1/2 dose a day, my rash reappears and is quite painful. I was told that due to having no gall bladder that my bile production doesn't vary according to the quantity of food consumed so I need to regulate it myself. This has done the job well."


"I've taken Bactim three times and my UTI keeps returning and now I have to go to a urologist. Not a good time for me as I will be moving very soon and the Bactrim gives me a yeast infection. When will this problem end?  Most miserable!"


"So today I got the IUD implanted. And the process is more of an uncomfortable unusual feeling than painful. It will in fact hurt however it will not be unbearable, you will just react to it because it's like a cramp x100. It took an hour for them to place the IUD because i'm 22 and i've never had a child before so it was difficult to stretch my cervix enough to fit the IUD in. So if you're young and you've never had a child expect a lot of discomfort and difficulty in the process of implanting the IUD. However, I felt that it was totally worth the experience and i'd do it again if I had to.

I'll update my review in a couple of weeks but right after the insertion i felt zero pain. I rode my bike home with no problem, just a little shaky"


"I used to get cold sores frequently and have become so anxious about getting them that I keep a script for Valtrex in my wallet. After three years being cold sore free, I felt the burn and saw a patch of redness on my top lip. I immediately went to the pharmacy, filled the script and took my first gram of Valtrex within an hour of the first tingling/burning. I went to bed and woke up perfectly fine [and took the second dosage nonetheless]. I have no cold sore, no redness, nothing. I can't begin to tell you how much of a relief it was to wake up without that horrible throbbing swollen blister. I so highly recommend this. I can't imagine being without it now."


"I am on Remeron and have suffered extreme anxiety for 3 months. Started in October and it is now nearly Christmas 2011. It has been the worst experience of my life. On Tuesday I couldn't take it anymore and went to my psychiatrist and said 'I don't care if he's busy, I'll wait'  Long story short, he suggested Abilify. Two days and no anxiety, none, zero, nada. Actually, I got substantial relief with the first 2mg tablet. Honestly, today is Thursday and the 3 month nightmare seems to be completely over."


"I was given a single dose of Nucynta for pain after hip replacement surgery.  The side effects were just weird, a feeling of being disconnected from my body and mental confusion.  I was also nauseous with vomiting.  I never had this effect with Demerol, Percocet or Valium.  Maybe I was allergic to it."


"Really liked how Enteragam affected my digestion from the beginning. I had been on a very restrictive diet due to food intolerances, and after taking Enteragam for only a couple of days I already could add new foods to my diet. It also helped me with bloating and stomach cramps. Great product!"


"I have had muscle spasm's for years. Flexeril has always worked for me. New doctor wanted to try this. Completely did not work at all. "


"Most of my life I have struggled with severe panic attacks, general anxiety, PTSD & moderate depression. Been on meds twice before until I felt better & then I would stop taking them. This last time it had been close to a year that I had been suffering again before I decided to reluctantly go back on meds. I tried Celexa again- it worked kinda okay in the past but this time it made no improvement for me. Saw the doc who switched me to Prozac- all I can say is WOW! Best yet- I feel like my old, happy self after only 1 month! 10mg the first week, 15 the second and 20mg the last two. Give it time to work & be patient- it might make you feel a bit off & not better at first, but it is a miracle drug. These bad feelings will pass hang in there!"


"33 yr old male suffering from headaches since I can remember.  They've gotten worse as I've gotten older.  I use Imitrex and Relpax at onset, and this usually takes care of the headache.  I would go through several "stints" where I would wake up with a headache every day .  I am on Propranolol for HBP and migraine maint.).  I tried several other maint. meds like topamax and amitriptyline.  Topamax made my hands tingle.  Amitriptyline didn't work.   I've been on Nortriptyline for 2 months and WOW, what a difference.  The first night I took it, I woke up without a headache.  I probably only get 1 a week now, if that.  Try this med if you haven't already, maybe it will help you too!"


"Had nexplanon put in a month ago been feeling very depressed and anxious. Easily irritated with my son. The fatigue makes me unable to care for my baby properly. I can't get up in the morning having to leave him crying. I'm going to have to have it taken out. Plus had weight gain in belly, and dryness and no sex drive."


"I have been on Saxenda for two and a half months and I have lost 28 pounds!!! I highly recommend it . It does make you feel sick but it's well worth the out come!!!"


"I was recently prescribed this when I went to the doctor for a SEVERE (migraine-like) sinus headache. It is expensive but totally worth every penny! It works right away - you can feel the congestion/stuffiness breaking up immediately! I take this 2 times per day along with Allegra D-24 hour 1 time a day. I went from having the severe sinus headaches every single day to getting one maybe once per month. I also posted under the Allegra category - that works wonders!"


"Gabapentin helps a lot with my fibromyalgia pain, although I find that I have to keep taking higher and higher doses to have the same effect. I also have had some weight gain, which I hate. I don't know which is better, being chubby or feeling better. For now I'm going to say with it."


"Just puts off withdrawal. Eventually if you come off subs you will feel it. However while taking subs it makes me normal. I ironically used Vicodin to wean off subs. But I was working a great sober program. Eventually I did relapse and here we are again. I'm hoping to go on it short term instead of the 15 months I took it before. We will see. Before I was given 2-4 strips per day. Found out later 1/4 of a strip would've done fine. This time I will not take so much."


"Metformin started off good for me. Except for the frequent diarrhea, it worked quickly to give me a normal period. I had no weight loss (though I really need it), and after 3 months my periods became irregular again. My doctor increased my dose after six months, and again after 3. I'm still not regularly regular, and it hasn't increased my ovulation (per a daily ovulation test). This medicine has generally great reviews, but it's very inconsistent for me."


"I used the Plan B One-Step about 3-4 hours after the condom broke. My period came right on time, and I had no side effects. IT WORKS!!"


"I started Epiduo Forte in February and it wasn't completely effective until May. The first month was pretty rough. My skin first "purged" and I had a lot more breakouts than usual, but my dermatologist warned me this would happen. After that purge, my skin became extremely dry and when I applied Epiduo Forte it would burn extremely bad. I put vaseline around my eyes before applying the cream because that is where it burned the most. Cerave lotion was a lifesaver while using Epiduo Forte! Use it and the dryness almost completely goes away! After 3 months of use, it didn't burn or dry out my skin at all. I now experience almost no pimples and my skin is more firm and healthy than ever. I recommend trying Epiduo Forte for yourself!"


"First implant march 2013 - no problems what so ever, not a single one!! no period!  March 2016 - expired - getting married in August and honeymoon in January - opted to put nexplanon back in until we get back from the honey moon. Removal and re-insertion was easy as pie and only took about 15 min of my time.  Excellent choice since i read up on all forms of contraceptive since oral contraceptive failed me the first time.  But it all worked out and we are to be married!!  I have read horrible reviews regarding Nexplanon. Just know that it is NOT for everyone and that it is worth a shot. I have not had a period and no side effects. steadily loosing weight and not gaining, no acne, no mood swings or depression. would totally recommend!!!"


"I recently found out about my positive status on 8/28/14. My prior HIV test was on 8/6/13 and it was negative so I believe I contracted it at some point in 2014.  I didn't start Triumeq until 12/28/14. The first 2 days about 15 minutes after taking the pill I had a slight headache & minimal nausea. Nothing unbearable though. I havent had any serious side effects and the headaches and nausea no longer occur; again I have only been on this for a little over a week. It does seem like my digestive system is more active. I used to go to the restroom every other day now it seems I have to go every morning. Other than that i havent had and other issues. CD4 is 840 Viral 1170 on initial labs."


"I am 20 yrs old when I initially got it inserted  waited a month for unprotected sex with my bf to make sure it's effectiveness, everything was great the first 8-10 months I stopped getting my period and most importantly the implanon was very effective, no weight gain, when I reach about a year/year and a half I started getting acne which I've never experienced before, at the time I didn't realize it was the implanon until I started researching, my period started coming VERY irregular, it lasts months with a 2-3 break, made it very uncomfortable to even want to have sex.  So over all it does prevent you from getting pregnant and its very effective but keep in mind these side effects!I only regret it bc of the mood swings,acne, period duration"


"I was on this medication for 12 years and was sick from it for 12 years. I was on it for debilitating anxiety.  It gave my a disorder called Postural Ortho Tacychardia. I had to see a Cardiologist. I always felt sick and no one doctor could help me or give me any answers. My feelings were also numbed. I turned into a zombie and just slept for 3 or 4 days at a time. I went to a new doctor and started to titrate off of this medication. It took me 8 months to titrate off of this. Titrating off of this is hell ( but you can get off of it ) when the medication was completely out of my system. Because I was numb for so long. The panic came back in one big wave. I ended up in the psychiatric part of the hospital. Be careful with Effexor Xr"


"I've been on both and yes you have to see a Dr. who specializes in this disorder and you also have to take it one hour before you eat both levo and synthroid because I feel different I've done it taking after I ate and didn't work and then I followed the doctors orders take one hour before breakfast. I'm on 75mcg and my weight is doing great my levels normal if I keep on the medicine and take it like my doctor said to take it and I go to many different specialist's because I have many medical problems and I'm only 30 but this thyroid be thing started after I had my daughter so no do not take it at night after meals cuz your body will not absorb the medicine correct the medicine needs to be with a full glass of water and no food so it can work thru"


"Had my Mirena removed after only 3 months.  Yes, it did significantly reduce monthly bleeding and cramping, but the negative side effects far outweighed the little positive effects.  I am fortunate to live a very good life and have never experienced depression; however during the 3 months I had Mirena I felt very sad and depressed for no reason.  I also had zero sex drive all the time - not just certain times of the month.  Gained 10 pounds in 3 months while exercising vigorously on a regular basis and eating very healthy foods 1500 calories a day.  I know my body very well and I know how to lose weight, but nothing worked this time.  Also experienced tingling in my hands and feet.  Looking forward to getting my life back after Mirena!"


"I barely started taking this birth control 2 weeks ago exactly. The first week I was fine, however in the 2nd week of taking them I got my period, I have been bleeding heavily the entire week. I normally have my period for about 5 days, 3 heavy days and 2 light days, with minimal cramps, however this period has been going on for about 7 days now bleeding heavily the entire time, my breasts are in excruciating pain (my breasts normally hurt before I start my period not during my period). I have been so tired sleeping by 9pm. I have had the worst cramps, dizziness, some headaches, and I haven't had an appetite. I'm going to finish the birth control for the next 3 months and hope that things get better."


"This right here is magic. I saw result on the 3rd weeks, warts got a lot smaller, didn't experience any burning just some mild itching. During the first week of imiquimod, the warts seem bigger than it was before but this is probably just routine as the warts eventually reduce in size since the beginning of the second week. End of the 3rd week, I'm almost cleared up."


"Lisinopril 10 for 1 day, plus thyroid medicine and not eating or drinking enough, so I blacked out. Dr couldn't get blood pressure because it was too low. Pain in shoulders, stuffy nose, hard swallowing, cramp in foot. Dr said to wait 3-5 days then start with half dose."


"Didn't help at all"


"I'm taking baclofen for extreme tightness in my neck and shoulders, works fine. However is more of a stress relief and sleeping pill, especially if you are already a bit drowsy. I take 10mg currently and I personally don't think its enough because it doesn't do too much. especially at night when I need it to work fastest because my muscles tighten at the end of the day."


"At first was a godsend. 20 years later, whole body dystonia, haven't slept in 5 nights.I thought this the best and now I believe it will kill me. Not being dramatic. I am getting old and my body is giving out trying to handle getting off this drug. I worked in the addiction industry and never saw this much suffering and pain"


"I've had chronic urticaria for over 2 years now, and out of all the allergy medicines, Zyrtec works the best. My hives have become much harder to manage in the past year, so I need to take twice the Zyrtec I used to, but it still works much better than Allegra or Claritin for me."


"I'm a 44 yr old female who rarely got headaches except for occasional sinus headache.

But for over a year now, something in my body has changed- with persistent pain on top and back of head with vertigo and tinnitus.  I'm not a pill popper and avoid even OTC drugs as much as possible.  However, these horrible migraines have had me reaching for Advil in all forms, Tylenol and  Exedrine.

Exedrine Migraine has been the ONLY pill that works.  I take just one.  I feel the tightness and wrenching/throbbing disapate within 15 mins.  For me- the benefits last into the next day!!!   Just one pill!    I will feel a slight pang of pain every couple hours, for a few seconds, but 95% of the pain is gone.   (I'm working on the vertigo/tinnitus)"


"After three years of taking oxycodone 10 ER and oxycodone 5 IR for three cervical anterior and posterior with instrument I ask my spine doctor to change me to Zohydro ER. The oxy was making me sick to my stomach and I was dizzy and tired. I have to report that after a few months on the Zohydro ER I was able to transition to not only getting off the oxy but I am almost pill free and pain free. I am so grateful for Zohydro ER. I was afraid I was getting addicted to the oxycodone and with the Zohydro ER I had no feeling of euphoria. I am so grateful. Thank you for giving me back my life."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I was given moviprep to prepare my bowel for a colonoscopy. It doesn't taste great. It's quite thick too, a bit like olive oil. I didn't find it too bad. I didn't mix anything with it so if you can't stand it, that may help. I had 2 litres to drink within 24hrs, drinking lots of water in between. It worked very quickly. You'll know you're clear when you're just passing yellow/clear liquid. The worst thing for me was the hunger & I did get sore from 'going' so much. Petroleum jelly on the area helps. The prep worked as I was awake for my colonoscopy & could see on the screen how clean my insides were. Its not a pleasant experience, but Moviprep does the job. My procedure was yesterday & I've had no after effects. Good luck with yours :)"


"I've always had a problem with odor and tried douching, etc., but nothing ever helped. FINALLY, I spoke with a PA who told me I probably have an over abundance of "good" bacteria which produces this odor. She prescribed Metrodinazole 0.75% and I used it as prescribed. NO MORE EMBARRASSING ODOR! I don't know how long this will last, but I could cry from relief. Unless you experience thus yourself, you don't understand the thoughts always in the back of your mind. So thankful for this medication!"


"Never Again!!!!! I inserted the ovule at around 10:00 right after a shower, along with the cream. I woke up around 2:00 am to the worst burning and itching ever. I can't sleep, literally made me burst into tears the pain is so bad!!! Would much rather go back to the slight annoyance of my YI rather than deal with this."


"I have bipolar II, cycle up in spring and major depressive in the fall. I have tried lamictal, great drug but got the rash, geodon, ok but felt like I was drunk, latuda, got the jaw pain whitch was awful. Ability seems to help with the overwhelming agitation I get in the spring time. I hope it is as good in the fall for my depression phase."


"I was on tri- lo in high school and I was fine with it but my life now is so miserable. I am always depressed and everytime I eat I just feel sick to my stomach. I have no motavation to get up in the morning and I'm always tired no matter how many hours I sleep, I have headaches like nobody's business. I highly recommend talking to your doctor before getting on this ."


"I had the MIrena inserted due to heavy periods related to fibroids. The insertion was very painful but I was okay afterwards. I spotted for 3 days and then was clear but when I got my next period, I had big blood clots that I didn't have before. I don't know if the Mirena caused it or my condition was getting worse. The 2nd month it was worse. An ultrasound was done and it had shifted and got embedded in the uterus, but my doctor said the medication inside should still work. I got fed up and asked her to take it out. I got a period 2nd time that month after removal. Maybe I didn't give it enough time."


"As a 17 year old I have taken these pills sparingly during the beginning of my most painful cycles. Depending on the severity of the pain the medicine can take from 15 minutes to an hour to take effect (the longer time for the more painful cycles). Also severe cramps may still be felt when the medicine is in full swing although it feels like a minor cramp."


"My hands and fingers were raw with extremely painful cracks. Within 3 days of using Epiceram the healing process began."


"My sleep doctor prescribed this med following a series of breathing tests that showed I had some narrowing of my brochunial tubes. I do have sleep apnea but not COPD. An autoimmune disorder manifests in my muscles, legs and feet makes balance and walking difficult, causing shortness of breath. That is the reason for the prescription.

I  noticed unreasonable increasing irritability within a few days of taking the inhaler. I have a bad reaction  to Prednisone historically, experiencing psychotic fugue with disastrous consequences. My doctor assured me that Spiriva was nothing like Predisone.

It most certainly is-at least for me! Side effects found online are: depression, irritability, feelings of emptiness, etc.  Exactly my experience with Spiriva."


"My 20 year old daughter was in a stump of being unmotivated , unhappy and very negative . She had always been very focused , happy and loved life. I recommended she go to her family physician and see about taking a low dose of anti depressant .

3 months later my daughter is back to herself . Zoloft has really helped her and she is a joy to be around again . She has claimed the only side effect is she had trouble sleeping the first 4 weeks when on Zoloft but now she's sleeping again ."


"I had  pains in my legs after knee surgery and I took this medicine only one pill 4 times in two days and I have never been so sick in my entire life! I was so sick to my stomach that even water made me even more sick. Whatever I ate or drank would come back up about an hour later. I could barely stand up straight, I was shaking, I had fever and chills, etc. It was horrible! I stopped taking it as soon as this started and then it took another two days to actually completely get out of my system!"


"Really good medicine for me. I don't sleep any during the day, and my drive to do what needs to be done has more than doubled. I take 250mg 1 x time a day. The only side effect was dry mouth for me. My doctor also gave me 1mg of Xanax to take at the end of the day. It helps me with anxiety and helps me get a great nights rest. Both the medications work well together for me."


"DONT GIVE UP HOPE. Im persribed Clindamycin topical lotion for AM & Treinoin topical cream for PM. I had bad forehead acne, it began leaving dark marks & pits. Never having a problem with acne b4, i decided to go to the doc. She said may take 8-12 weeks to see results. I began to break out even more than before using the medicine (this is good, dirt is surfacing) used day & night for 2 months & i was still scarring after each pimple. went in for my 3 month check up with a blemish free face but still had pits/scars. doc told me to hang in there & sure enough 5 months using day & night, no pimples + scars have faded/disappeared! use Cerave facewash & moisurizer.. expensive but has helped eliminate my forehead wrinkles too. DONT GIVE UP ON IT"


"I never had bad acne until I started college. This product made me break out 10 times worse for the first 2 months. But thats what its supposed to do. Now I'm on my 3rd month and all of my pimples and bumps are pretty much gone. I was left with some scars but that's also normal and will fade while continuing to use the products. It may seem hopeless at first (trust me) but it really works and its worth it! Good Luck!"

"The week following the insertion I had a bruise in my arm, but since then I have only had positive side effects. Before Implanon I had a dangerously heavy cycle, drastic mood swings, and severe cramping every month.  I have never had a period, mood swing, or cramp while on Implanon. Implanon is more effective than sterilization, yet reversible in 9 days. I would recommend this birth control to anyone who is not planning on having kids in the next 3 years."


"Excellent medicine, I take it only as needed but beware, for me at least, massive and rapid weight gain has occurred on it, I was a consistent 130 pounds for the last 3 years, within a month of starting it I've gained 25 pounds. Which for me is great, I needed the weight gain, for others though, take caution in this. For me this drug has been phenomenal and I can take it once and feel good for days."


"My acne became severe around the age of 16, and I tried every product (oral and topical medications.) Some helped for a little while, but my acne was never really gone. At 21, my acne was the worst it had ever been. Always hormonally motivated, I developed cystic acne, and started to experience physical discomfort as well as self-esteem issues.
I was on Accutane for 5 months. My side effects were EXTREMELY dry skin, and I had one week on the medication where my mood was dramatically affected. However, the last 2 months on the medication I had zero acne, and I saw steady improvement while on it. Now I not only have perfectly clear skin, I have NICE skin. And I can't remember the last time I broke out! Life-changing for me!"


"Neck fusion, lower back pain, nerve damage,  I highly recommend this to  get your life back"


"I'm going on 3 weeks and the side effects dizziness, nausea is to strong I don't think I'll be able to continue I feel so sick."


"When I started Enbrel, I had great results. All the staff at Enbrel was and still is a great support team. They have even enrolled me in the sharps container recovery program. The medication itself is amazing. I have had to try other meditation's as my insurance company did not want to pay for it at first but since they were told that I have tried other medications they do pay for it."


"I had Implanon inserted about 4-5 months ago. I had my period twice in one month the first time I got Implanon, but then completely stopped having my period, I also noticed my menstrual migraines no longer came around. Literally no other side effects."


"I've been in this medication since 1998 to 2015. I've been on it and off from it but I will warn people with diagnosed depression or PTSD not to take it too long. I've gone from stripping my clothes off and thinking I was going to bed. Munchies galore. Ate a whole cake without blinking. Bad idea since my cholesterol is sky high list goes on. I asked several Drs if overeating was a side effect. Led to believe it was only me. Burned half my arm cooking and only said, "Ouch,  I burned my arm." Went to bed and had to get treated for the burn. It left a scar. Every time I take it my depression escalates even with antidepressants. I seriously saw dead people  and spoke to them. Relayed exactly what they wore and said to my kids. Bad reactions."


"The side effects are horrible and I still have my migraines. Dont do it."


"That was NOT gentle relief.  Brutal pain and nausea from 2:30 am till 7 am- I feel like I got off lucky after reading other reviews..... They should just quit advertising 'gentle relief'."
