"I got prescribed flagyl 500 x daily. Just started .. I don't feel any nausea or taste in my mouth. Actually odor is slightly eliminated, burning gone just pressure on my vulva when peeing. I really feel that taking probiotics with it works wonders..and the big plus is not getting a yeast infection after done with the antibiotics. What doctors don't tell you is you can get both BV and Yeast infection at same time. Hope this helps ladies!! Good luck to all."


"When the urge hit I had to go right then. I was a slave to pads.  Not very sexy.  I had an innerstem put in but it did not help.  The mess prescribed did not work either.  The only thing that literally freed me from pads is the patch.  I did not have dry mouth.  I can wait to go potty for 1 hour or longer now."


"I started Phentermine on Aug 18, 08 and as of Sep 18, 08, I have lost 16 pounds. I lost 12 pounds in the first week. Went on break so as not to get used to the effects for a week and will be back on it. This is so worth it, just to kick start weight loss."


"An update from last post: Been taking for one month and lost 20 lbs with no side effects. It's difficult to articulate just how Contrave is helping because it is definitely not an appetite suppressant, but it does make it easy to eat less and make good choices. Not only am I losing weight and running 5 miles a day now, but I also was able to cut out all alcohol and caffeine without really trying. Very positive progress!"


"I started Belviq 3 months ago and have lost 25 pounds so far.  I don't feel hungry, have so much more energy.  Had a little dizziness at first, but went away.  I am a 57 year old female.  Started at 229 and am now at 204.  I have been active, but need to step up the treadmill to keep the metabolism moving. Cut out soda and only have a glass or two of wine on the weekend.  Mindful eating and listening to when my body tells me I am full really helps.  This has been a lifesaver for me.  30 more pounds to go in 3 or 4 more months.  Taking this slow to keep it off for good."


"Please read my entire review as I feel it is beneficial to anyone using or considering this medicine. I am a 30 year old male and 6 weeks ago I weighed 204 lbs. I have taken Phendimetrazine 35mg 3 times a day for 6 weeks now. I have dropped almost 40 lbs and look and feel the best ever. I exercise 30 minutes a day -nothing major, just a light jog. I eat 4 small meals which are: soy products (boca burgers, veggie dogs etc), eggs, fish, seafood, dark veggies and cheese strings. (Eating meat will cause MAJOR constipation). I don't drink alcohol or soda. It's really easy. "


"Bad side effects! I'm 20 years old and have not had kids and got the mirena due to heavy periods, this was 2 years ago now. Getting it inserted was so painful I was traumatised by the experience. However I have not had a period or spotting in 2 years. Downfall I developed acne, depression, anxiety and horrible mood swings. More recently I got BV (bacterial vaginosis) (horrible smell down there) antibiotics as well as creams are not getting rid of this reoccurring for 4 months and now after some serious thinking I'll be getting the IUD removed as the side effects are not worth it anymore! I can't wait to get it out and start feeling like myself again. I hope the removal doesn't hurt as bad! Do your research."


"Works great for anxiety."


"Well, started taking strattera around 6 weeks back, had ADHD since I was a child. (23 now) been on ritilin and a couple of other ones when I was young, can't remember the name of the other two. Took myself off the meds when I was old enough to leave school, looking at how people are describing their children's symptoms are bringing it all back. How every day at school trying to eat was the biggest challenge, YES I could sit still, YES I was "well behaved" but all the time every day I just felt ill. All some parents and mostly schools care about is if every child in the room is quiet and being educated. I'd never felt so free when I took myself off the meds. Strattera is kind of working for me now but is causing a lot of changes to my body"


"I am 31 years old. 5' 3" and 140 pounds. I have a 26 day cycle and had sex on day 16 (which was supposedly my last fertile day according to my tracker). The condom slipped off and didn't realized until after ejaculation had taken place. Some of the semen was deposited into the condom but did not want to take that chance. I took the pill one hour after and the second dose 12 hours later. I started having symptoms about 4 days after taking it, I had an extreme amount of white discharge, my mood at first was very aggressive and a full week into it I started crying for everything which was extremely annoying. I for sure thought I was pregnant. Had a few cramps and some breast tenderness. My period came right on time. I hope my review will ease someone's mind"


"4 years ago I came down with massive anxiety which led to insomnia (still this way).  My doctor started me off on 50mg a night.  Didn't work.  So...I was prescribed 100mg a night, not bad.  Now I take 100-150mg a night and it does pretty good.  Some nights, like tonight, I wake up and can't go back to sleep but won't take anymore as I would wake up with a migraine.  I take Trazadone about 1/2 before bed but have to eat something small or I get dizzy quickly.  When this works for me,  usually 5x a week, I feel very rested and ready to go in the morning.  I've tried several herbal and non herbals,  over the counter and prescription drugs and this is the only one that had worked the best.  Melatonin was a joke as I was WIRED off of it."


"I had Skyla put in about a year ago.  The insertion was pretty awful because there were complications so it took longer than anticipated.  That was not because of the Skyla but because of my doc (which she was really great about the whole process).  I include that because I haven't had any children and have a pretty high tolerance for pain, so I want anyone reading this to expect some discomfort.  Since having it my cramps have been terrible and seem to only disappear for about a week and a half or so each month.  I also still have spotting.  My periods in general are lighter but they last for 5 or 6 days now it seems.  I've also had a significant increase in hormonal breakouts, which I definitely believe to be due to the BC."


"Levaquin is a little expensive however well worth it. My doctor prescribes it when I get severe sinus infections and I always feel better just after the first dose."


"It is a good medicine. Helps in school. Although I am concerned because my son is very pettie and he doesn't have regular appetites. I read the side effects and it said that this medication can slow down growth. My son has a big issue about his height. Beside all of that he start taking Vyvanse after I took him off Adderall XR and it's a BIG difference in his attitude."


"About four hours after taking the first dose, I felt years of anxiety just fade away like mist in the morning. The next day I was free of pathological anxiety, and have been the same ever since. So, full marks from me. Yes, there are side effects, but they're nothing compared with anxiety that attaches itself to all aspects of your life."


"Hi, I'm 31 female. Just shy of 5'4. I started phentermine on 12/28/15 weighing 184, now I'm in the middle of my 9th week and I weigh 165, so in 2 months I lost 19lbs, my goal is 145. I weigh in at my clinic every Monday evening. I do cardio & weights 4 to 6 days a week. The first 3 weeks I ate strictly protein and veggies with some fat, I've slowly added in complex carbs and fruit. I drink at least 90oz of water a day and have 3 meals and 2-3 snacks, the days I don't work out only eat the 2 snacks. The side effects I've had are dry mouth, dry skin and constipation (despite my water and fiber intake). I recommend the smooth moves tea by traditional medicinals, but test it one a day where you can be near a bathroom so you know how you react."


"This medication is a God send. It has truly saved my life and I can finally say I am happy. The clinic kept me in check by testing me and gave me awesome counseling and group therapy. I had heard all the horror stories about Methadone and how no one should ever go on it. MMT is the best thing that ever happened to me. Yes, the detox was bad but it changed my life forever and I am a new person."


"I'm calling this the 'Closer to Perfection Drug!' All since March 13/2017
- Taking 200mg now
- Psoriasis has deminished substantially!!!
- Went from wearing my hubby's 3x to men's L ( loose fit shirt too!!!)
- No more migraines but I have a pressure system in my head like old men do in their knees when storms are coming! (Never wrong on this one)
- The trick to all this, I work WITH it. I don't expect the pill to do it all for me. I drink 2-3 liters if not 4 a day and I eat healthy. I have a big protein breakfast and I have a smaller dinner. I exercise.
- I have cheat treats but watch my sodium every day. It helps. Take care of your body and it will take care of you in return!"


"I was switched from Genress Fe, the birth control I was on for 5 years, to Glidess Fe 1/20, the pill my insurance would agree to cover. Before starting on Glidess, I had no mood swings, no acne, and no spotting - even when switched to generic Genress. As soon as I started Glidess, I began to to get angry over silly things just prior to my period beginning. I also began to break out in acne -a problem that I had not had for about 4 years. Then today, I had random spotting even though I've been on the pill for 4 months and am extremely moody (something that was never a problem when on the other pill). To say I'm dissatisfied would be an understatement. I will be calling my OB/GYN to switch the pill tomorrow morning."


"I have had no problems with this birth control, non whtsoever. My doctor prescribed it for birth control, heavy periods and cystic acne. It has worked out perfectly for all of my conditions. The acne disappeared within the first month of use and I have not have a period (by choice) since I started using it 15 months ago. My insurance covers all the cost. It is just perfect. The sad part is that I need to begin a new regiment of anti seizure medications and this birth control interacts with it, so I will have to stop taking it. It is really a bummer, but hey, you got to pick your battles."


"Switched from Paxil to Effexor after 9 years.. Started at 37.5 for a bit then up to 75. and now moving up to 150. Doc said it should help with the darkness !"


"I am 28 year old male that did not like the lines on my forehead. A doctor recommended Botox Cosmetic. I am going on 3 months and can still visibly see the results."


"I have only been taken it for about a week now. I have never been on any medication for mental health or weight loss. I was considering the lap band. At this time I am glad I did not. My hunger is gone. I can resist that donut. My portions are much less.  A benefit that has come from this medication is I don't worry or stress.  I am more confident."


"Wellbutrin relieved my internal feelings of turmoil but turned me very edgy, rude, and angry at inappropriate times. Not a fun person to be around. And while it helped me emotionally alittle, it did nothing spectatular."


"Dosage for adults says 1-3 pills.  I'm 27, 130 lbs, hadn't gone for almost two weeks and was starting to feel full even when I didn't eat and extremely bloated.  I only took one pill because I didn't want severe cramping.  7 hours later, after a lot of rumbling and mild cramping I had to "go".  Intense cramping during going, my knees were shaking and I vomited three times as well.  This certainly works, but I also felt like I had a severe stomach virus for about the 30 minute duration.  This was from one pill.  I couldn't imagine taking 2 or three.  Everyone's bodies react differently, but I will be going the enema route next time."


"I took Cipro having suffered a UTI from the Mirena Coil that wouldn't clear. As with all medications the side affects depending on the individual can be horrendous. I suffered swellings, hives, a horrendous red rash on both under arms that left my skin damaged. The next side affect was tendonitis in both my ankles that left me unable to walk. I was told that the tablet reacted to the sun Id factor 50 just sitting on the patio for a half an hour and got burned. A nightmare"


"I'm a 38 year old man who has had Tourette's from the age of 8. The only medicine I have found to control my tics almost 100% is Orap. When I take the medication my tics are almost none. I am very lucky not to have the speech tics. Mine are mostly ticks in my eyes and face."


"I was on steroid medication for almost a year, having tapering doses in between. My teeth enamel got disrupted due to side effects of steroid and my haemoglobin count decreased to 8gm%/dL..
After I ceased steroids, I became completely bed-ridden as all my joints were invloved excluding spine, not even able to move for a side change.
My rheumatologist suggested Enbrel, and a single dose of Enbrel changed my entire life.. Infact I got a new birth! Now my four doses are done and I am as good as I was before this rheumatoid disorder. Very happy to have Enbrel. I would thank the inventor of Enbrel. Thank You !"

"I went on this birth control because I wanted to gain a little bit of weight but I ended up gaining 15 pounds and couldn't exercise my stomach off because the shot made me so tired even when I would have 3-4 days off from work. I never had the energy to do anything. This shot made me moody and depressed! Not to mention it made my anxiety off the roof! Everyday I would almost get a panic attack from the smallest worries. After I got off it a couple weeks later I felt like a brand new person! Back to my old self. Happy energetic and fun to be around with! The only thing that was good about this birth control is that I never got my period. "


"My son has been on since 3 he is 12 & this shortage sucks"


"I was given this medication as a test of some sort. I had been in a abusive relationship and I was having issues with it. My blood pressure was sky high. My doctor gave me the blood pressure medication and she gave me the Pristiq as a means of calming me down and seeing if it would help me to lower my blood pressure.  I can say that within the first week of taking this medicine I was a new person again. It helped me a lot and people even notice a new and happier me. I call it my "Happy Pill" and people really see that now I am Happy. My energy level is much better than it was before. Really good product. I just ran out of samples so now I am now asking my doctor to prescribe it to me permanently."


"I have been suffering from migraines for over 8 years. This past time the doctor ended up giving me vicodin to relieve the pain and get rid of the migraine. And I am loving it, as long as I take the vicodin when I am supposed to I am without pain. The only bad thing about the vicodin is the dry mouth and the fact that I feel detached from everything. But I can live with those two things in order to get rid of a migraine. I would recommend this medicine to anyone who has a migraine and can't get rid of it (I had mine for over 2 weeks before going to the doctor)!"


"I'm a 48 yr old male, take 20mg day. Blood pressure is regular now however side effects are not acceptable and I will be switching to another medicine. Libido lowered, unable to maintain erection for more than 20 minutes, headaches, dizziness, some double vision, coughing, and slight weight gain without any change in exercise or diet. This ACE inhibitor is not for me."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I totally love this vitamin, it doesn't make me sick and it has a good taste. However, the insurance don't cover 100% so a little expensive for me."


"I would rate this a 10 for treating GERD; however, I am giving it a 7 due to side effects.  I have had no problems with GERD since beginning the medicine but I am experiencing an increase in blood pressure.  I also am experiencing dizziness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, tightness in my throat, pressure in my chest that makes me feel like I am going to vomit (although I do not feel nauseated), and just a general overall bad feeling.  This does not happen until the extended release of the medication occurs at about 4-5 hours after administration.  Although it treats my GERD symptoms great I have decided it is not worth the other side effects that I am having."


"Hi..i and my gf had unprotected sex on 14 days after her period  and then she took pill (ecp) after 6 hours of Intercourse.after four days of having the pill she started bleeding for continued for 4days. Then she did not suffer any bleeding .now in October her date for period for 1st October but they did not came .. we were scared.. she did four home urine pregnancy test but all came NEGATIVE she even did blood test. That to came NEGATIVE but on 23october , finally she got her periods with really bad cramps but we were happy....  It was the first time when she was soo happy seeing her periods...

So everyone don't worry. the  pill  will do its job .. and if taken with 12 hours then it is more effective... So don't worry.."


"Adderall XR works wonders. I can finally get my scattered brain to focus on one thing at a time. The downside is that it doesn't work as long as advertised. I am lucky if it lasts 6 hours, and I work for 8. Once I get home, I feel like I'm having a major caffeine crash. I've heard that once you adjust to the medication, you stop crashing so hard. I've only been on it for one month. "


"Dilauded is the only pain medication that offers me any type of relief.  I herniated 3 discs in my lower back and I was on an IV of 2mg every 4 hours.  Only con was it made my face very itchy.  The second time I had an IV of Dilaudid was post spinal tap.  I was given 1mg injection every 2 hours (lower dosage, more frequently made pain more manageable).  I now have a prescription for 4mg every 3-4 hours for chronic back pain.  I believe it has dramatically improved my quality of life."


"This was my 1st colonoscopy and had Endoscopy at same appointment. Prepopik was so easy to use. Much better than the horror stories of that gallon prep others have told me of. I ate light three days prior then only beef, chicken, and vegetable broth, plus apple juice and white Gatorade. I started 1st dose at 6:30 PM and 2nd at 11:30. I drank more than the 5 cups. The 1st dose was through me in 3 hours. So I figured I was through at 2:30 AM and went to sleep because I was so sleepy and had a 9:30AM appt. but when I woke up, I realized I had an accident in bed. So my advice is to use Depends or keep a folded beach towel under you, just in case. To keep my anus from getting sore, I used Oxyfresh Aloevera Gel, to prevent the diaper rash soreness"


"Experience tiredness, no energy."


"I have been on Opana ER for approximately 4 years. I have multiple conditions with the bones in my spine and both psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis. Opana does not seem to help much with general arthritis pain and not at all the psoriatic arthritis, but it has been the most helpful medication for my back pain. unfortunately on Medicare I reached gap and at that time medication becomes way too expensive. I cannot endure this cost while I am on Medicare and now I have to switch medications. I go from paying $40 a month to $250. On Medicare you cannot use the discount cards for the program that Opana has. I am feeling very upset about this as the medication has been the most helpful to me without side effects. "


"Not the most effective. It did tone down my hypomania a little bit. I normally get depressive episodes at a set time every year, and lamotrigine pushed it a bit later than it would have been. Besides that, it didn't do much; I'm still having severe depressive episodes that lead to suicidality. No side effects on its own, but I've noticed that it seems to magnify the side effects of other drugs if I take both (e.g., if I take a drug that makes me drowsy, lamotrigine makes me more drowsy; if I take a drug that makes me nauseous, lamotrigine makes me more nauseous, etc.). All in all I'm pretty neutral on this drug. It's not great, but not bad."


"This did not burn me at all. I recommend taking it before bed as it will fall out if you as you walk. I took this 2 days after taking diflucan oral which did not work, I also used oil of oregano so my vagina was already in extreme pain at the time I took this. It honestly did not burn me but it did make my vagina completely numb. It was a weird feeling  I was totally ok with the numbness, in fact I welcomed it.  I'm fairly confident this might not work on it's own but I always have to take two different types of medication so it usually cost $50 to cure a yeast infection which is very annoying as it is never covered.  Ultimately the cost is worth it to get rid of the pain of the yeast infection though. I'm finally freaking cured!!"


"I was taking upwards of 10-10/325 Percocets a day and still having knee pain that would prevent me from getting up in the morning, I suffer from chronic patella dislocation among several other knee issues. Taking 60mg MSContin 3  times a day is a God send. I'm down to 2-3 Percocet for the break through pain but the MSContin has helped me get through the day and be able to play with my son. I thank my doctor and pharmacist every month."


"Used to work great. 1 tab a day for allergies, no side effects. Lately bad side effects, sleepy and unsettled.  "


"Took this for low sodium level caused by brain radiation- which caused SIADH. Demeclocycline raised the sodium level but too high- in addition it caused dehydration, burning in the mouth, vaginal and anal areas, watery eyes and nose, discharge from the ears and increased BUN and Cretinine levels indicating kidney failure."


"Like many of the comments I read it seemed I had tried every thing. This medication is absolutely perfect for me. I could have kept one of my husbands had I been taking this medication. The minor side effects don't bother me. I've been dealing with this mental health issue before I was six year old. I remember at the baby sitter I said not another nap, I used to count the holes in the ceiling tile, immense wanted to sleep . Now at 60 years I am sleeping with wonderful dreams. Also in spite of this disability I earned 4 advanced degrees. Thanks for this medication. "


"This is the best pain medicine!  While in severe pain during a gall-stone attack, they gave me Morphine which didn't really work!  I kept looking at the doctors and pleading to give me something else.  They gave me Dilaudid and the pain was gone within seconds! After having two very strong gall-attacks I am a firm believer in Dilaudid. Highly recommend this pain medication over anything!  I never suffered one set-back or side-effect from Dilaudid either. A   !"


"Saved my life"


"I've used Amitriptyline for about 6 mnth now I sleep well, little harder to get up in the morning, It doesn't help my pain, but I do find I'm able to cope better. Also I find using deep heat heat rub helps. I rub it into my muscles. My doctor says it ok as it an anti inflammatory."


"Works great! Works better then using both 2 nasal sprays individually. It is much more convenient to only have to use one nasal spray and is less irritating. If your insurance doesn't cover it ask your doctor to submit a prior authorization to your insurance. My doctor's office got Dymista approved in just a few hours.
     Other options include using the Manufacturer's coupon from their website to get $100 off or a lower copay. Or buy the generic online from a reputable/verified International pharmacy for about $30 including shipping. Just make sure the pharmacy is verified by VIPS, has the physical address on the website, and requires a script. Generic Dymista not avail in US."


"My favorite migraine medication is Relpax, which isn't covered by my insurance.  Imitrex didn't work for me hardly at all.  So, when Amerge came out and my insurance covered it for a reasonable co-pay, I tried it.

I will give naratriptan credit for working well.  It does knock out my migraines, which is more than I can say for Imitrex.  However, it takes a solid hour or more to work, and during that time, my migraines often have a chance to brutally worsen.

Relpax is still my favorite by far when I can get my hands on it."


"The worst thing I could have ever put in my body. Nuvaring made me so nauseated I was throwing up for 2 weeks straight. If you have a small cervix this is not for you the damn thing is like the size of my uterus. i literally had to have my boyfriend put it in for me because my fingers were too short. This also caused irritation to my inner labia upon insertion and if u have nails you will end up cutting yourself down there. I took it out after 3 weeks of absolute hell. It was unmanageable "


"Well. This medicine was on point for my skin. I didn't have severe acne but my skin wasn't smooth as well. I had quite a low self esteem and depression before so it didn't really affect me mentally. Of course my skin was terrible in the first 2 weeks but wow. it was worth it ! I can't tell you how amazing this thing is. I'm 18 now and I am just like those kids that I used to hate because they had nice skin "


"Over the past 27 years I have has two major meningiomas removed, front bone flap removed, titanium cranioplasty and removed, in all 5 craniotomies. The last on 2005 since well before that time I have had essential tremors as the first tumor was between the frontal lobes of the brain causing moderate gliosis.  I have been taking deralin (propranolol) 20mg x 2 daily with reasonable control of my hands.   Recently my Dr reduced my dosage to 10mg x 2 daily and tremors on some days are now very bad.  I am not quite sure why, but I did have a period diabetic problems (type2) ranging from Hi to Lo readings which was thought to have been cause by an infection (I am 81)  Hopefully he will raise the dose soon."


"Got up to 40 grams of Viibryd, and finally started to feel good!  (Been on many anti-depressants over the past 35 years).  Last week I had the worst, scariest breakdown, almost uncontrollable anger, sobbing, insomnia and extreme fatigue, body aches and my nerve pain was off the chart.  Today my doctor reduced Viibryd to 20, hoping that will stabilize me, along with my Buspar and Xanax. Now let's see what this week brings.  Oh, I also have Multiple Sclerosis, diabetes, heart issues & arthritis."


"After years and years of pain and lack of energy, finally got my life back only after 5 days on it and I am back to be my old me. Love it!!!"


"It's been seven years since my husband and I quit smoking using Chantix. I never thought it could happen. I struggled a bit with depression, but I never considered harming myself or others. I don't know if my depression was due to the Chantix, a bipolar (I'm diagnosed) episode, withdraw from nicotine, the loss of "friends" and routines associated with smoking or a combination of any or all four.  After more than 25 years each - and every patch, gum, hypnosis, cold turkey, meditation and acupuncture method we could try - we quit smoking using Chantix in 2006."


"OMG worth thing I have ever done in my life was use this birth control !!! I had it since March of 2015 and I've been bleeding ever since EVERY DAY!!!! Doc said it will take up to 6 to 7 months for my body to adjust but JESUS... The mood swings I've got are insane ... I cry for everything , feel sad , depressed ..... I'm always hungry .... I've gained like 30 pounds with this .... My relationship with my boyfriend is going down since I get angry for everything and suddenly sad ... I'm getting it removed finally this Friday .... Don't get this !!! It will make your body think your are pregnant and you will have those symptoms every moths ... rate this a 1 cause I couldn't give a ZeRO"


"It works well for me. I noticed a change very quickly."


"Oh man . I would recommend people to just practice SAFE SEX ! This medication WORKS but the price you MAY have to take for not practicing safe sex with it is HELL ! Stomach pain and nausea out this world , and it seems like the side effects will last forever . Mine lasted for about 2 hours and I still feel bad but once you take the medication and get through the side effects , it's OVER ! Just remember no glove , no love lol "


"I got my Nexplanon implanted Dec. 28, 2016 and I got my Nexplanon taken out February 22, 2017. Within a day of getting it implanted I started having really bad side effects such as: depression, extreme anxiety, depth perception issues, nausea, food cravings and also felt nauseous towards foods I enjoyed, none stop bleeding, fever, migraines but the worst side effect of all were hives (looks identical to a rash). I got hives in the crease of my left arm which was the same arm the implant was implanted. I also got hives on my right arm and all over both of my legs. My doctors kept saying to give it time maybe my symptoms will get better but my hives just got worse to the point my skin started to get flaky where the irritation was. DO NOT GET!"


"Went from .6 to 2.4 in five days. I had zero side effects or efficacy until I got to 2.4.  I had some very slight but continuous nausea that first day on 2.4 and had zero appetite.  Since then I've had zero to little appetite and no side effects. I find myself eating only out of necessity, have zero cravings and excellent portion control.  As a result the weight is just falling off!  I won't titrate to 3.0 unless I feel the effects waning.  Why waste the medicine (and money) if I don't have to?

Note: be sure to get a savings card or print one off on line.  My insurance required a PA, and the cost was $50. The coupon knocked it down to $30."


"Just started taking Arthotec, but I can tell a difference already.  I have less pain.  I also feel very hungry and nauseous.  I've had a little dizziness too."


"This product is so easy to use..great results. A small amount of itching and burning but well worth the results. The only thing I could have wished for is that I found it long ago to resolve this problem."


"I wonder if anyone can relate to my experience with Paxil. During about 17 years of severe depression and anxiety, no medication (I've tried them all) seemed to help and the ones that did, brought along unbearable side effects. ECT didn't help either. Paxil is the only pill that really works for me, but it makes me slightly manic. Combining it with a mood stabiliser works perfect %u2013 but only for 6 months. After that, it's depression all over again. After waiting for another 6 months, I can start using Paxil in combination with a mood stabiliser again, with good results that always only lasts for 6 months. This 6 months on/6 months off has become a very predictable pattern over the years. "


"This is a miracle drug. My husband had hepatitis C, genotype 1, for 30 years. We decided not to try interferon because of side effects, length of treatment, and low cure rates for his genotype. He took Harvoni for 12 weeks. Absolutely no side effects-he felt like he took nothing at all. And amazingly hepatitis C is now gone. It has been over a year since the end of treatment, and he is still virus-free."


"Works great when you take 3-4 & follow it with a hot cup of coffee!"


"Took care of it after a couple days."


"I was suffering some weird feeling last month. Had 2 panic attacks and I think it came from too much stress and thinking about my health. Scheduled a check-up with a Psychiatrist and he prescribed me Morcet (Escitalopram) & Rivotril (Clonazepam). First few days, I felt the some minor side effects (yawning, anxiousness etc). After a week, I felt better. A little anxious sometimes, but more controlled. I only take 10 mg a day (after breakfast) and 500 mcg of Clonazepam before bedtime.

Will be back to my Psychiatrist after a month to discuss and taper my medication since I think I can manage now my anxiety/panic attacks without medication. Miracle drugs!!!"


"My gynecologist put me on this for PCOS. I took it for two years. My periods are few, random and unpredictable. I didn't have regular bleeding at all. I had one or two periods a year on it. The periods were much less uncomfortable, and my PMS symptoms were a lower severity.

Didn't help with my high insulin which is my big problem. Didn't help with my ridiculously bad adult acne big problem. It went back to before. For a short period, I think it decreased my acne by 10%. The only pro I can think of is that it dealt with my higher risk for developing endometrial cancer due to lining buildup from unopposed estrogen.

If I miss a dose here or there, I have awful mood swings.

I'm going to a new gynecologist because I need better management of my PCOS."


"At age 55, I was placed on Testim gel (5 mg) once a day back in mid-December. Not sure what to expect, was concerned that there was no impact within the first month, but waited 2 months before evaluating.  Good advice! First, I noticed more leg hair and beard growth. Greater interest in sex, including more daydreams and fantasies. Notice more muscle mass despite not working out my shoulders. After a half year, I can't imagine not having this in my life. The drug is being subsidized by the manufacturer for the first year. I don't know what I'll do then. I'd hate to give up this renewed interest in sex. No great emotional change. T levels are up. No erectile dysfunction too."


"I started on the shot in  May of 2017. The whole point was to control my bleeding from my fibroids. As June rolled around, I got my period, which progressed into July and August and got progressively heavier. This last month, my clots are bigger and bigger and I usually wear the 10 hour overnight pads during the day. Although they last me about an hour. It's ruined my life, my clothes, my sheets"


"This is my 3rd time taking Chantix. The 1st time I took it for 3 months  and quit smoking for 3.5yrs. I experienced the dreams but no other side effects. The 2nd time I took it for 1 month & quit smoking for 6 months. I still had the dreams but had nausea also. This time I've been on it for 4 wks, smoke free for 3wks. I'm having the dreams and had nausea for only the 2&3wk, but in the 2wk I started experiencing more side effects. I started feeling tired lazy bummed and in a bit of a depressive state. In the 3wk I became paranoid and obsessive with racing thoughts. Its hard to focus and now in the 4th wk I question if I'm hallucinating or dreaming. No thoughts of suicide. I quit taking it today & hope to stay smoke free."


"I just recently started on vyvanse, and it works very well! So I'm 21, and in the past I've been on adderall, Ritalin and strattera. But none work as good as vyvanse. Adderall worked but left me feeling jittery, and Ritalin when it wore off I became angry. And strattera that's a whole nother story! But the main thing I like about vyvanse is I still am me. I don't feel jittery or like a robot. I'm me just with everything at a more calm controlled manner. The only downfalls are that it takes 2 hours to start working and only last 6-7 hours when I was told it would be 14 hours. But other than that it gets 2 thumbs up and 5 gold stars!"


"I wasn't a hyperactive kid. I have a high IQ (not bragging- just got genetically lucky there), so no one ever thought I had ADD, including me. However, looking back I never could get homework done on time. My backpack, school binder & bedroom were always a mess. As an adult I learned many organizational skills, but continued to struggle terribly with lack of motivation, focus & enjoyment in life, despite living in abundant material comfort. When I started taking 30mg of this a day at my doctor's urging, it was as if a bright light flooded what had previously only been utter darkness in my brain for 30  years. There's no "buzz" to this medicine. It's simply a means to reaching a more positive mindset that I thought I was barred from forever."


"I have never wrote a review on a product before but I had to share my experience with this one because it's soooo good. I had really bad acne on my forehead that didn't wanna go away no matter what I used and finally I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Benzaclin. I used this a week straight and my skin was so much better. After 3 weeks all my acne was gone basically! The only thing that sucks is that if I stop using it a couple of weeks later my acne gets really bad again so u have to keep using it"


"I've been using this drug for 3 months now (200 mg). It works great but makes it a bit hard to fall asleep."


"I have been on many anti depressants and anxiety meds in the past but this one is the right one for me. It is the only medication that I have taken that does not cause erection problems. While it is no miracle pill, it does take the edge off and allows me to deal with things without anger. I am actually able to see the world in a positive light and not be so negative all of the time. I believe I am taking half of the 5mg pill three times a day. I was supposed to be up to a pill and a half three times a day by now, but stronger doses make me feel medicated and I do not like that. I am perfectly happy with the results and my ability to control my anxiety problems. My anxiety is still there, but controlling it is key to long term health."


"My doctor prescribed me this for endometriosis, it helps a lot with the pain and bleeding for the most part. I can't take other pills because the hormones make me really sick. I've been taking it for three months. The side effects are pretty bad at first, but it does get better."


"Worked good for about 4 months then my psoriasis started to come back within 8 months it almost like it was before Humira. One year later it has became completely useless."


"I took 1 pill and had rapid heart beat and elevated blood pressure hours after taking. I did not take another, but day 2 I had a horrible headache and nausea, and I was also seeing things. I felt like I was going crazy and I wanted to do anything to get it to stop. It has given me four panic attacks in three days whereas I only ever had 2 in my whole life. This isn't worth it and I'd take depression over this nuttiness any day."


"This medication has helped me tremendously. I'm not sure how I lived without it. It took about a week of me taking the medication for my symptoms of OCD to improve, and ever since I have felt 99%. Once every few months I have my 'alright days', but then again, I do have my consecutive couple days that I forget to take them before I fall asleep.... :S :)"


"As birth control it worked great because it made be feel protected all the time, and I'm awful at taking pills everyday, but side effect wise-it sucked. I bled for the entire 7 months I had it in my arm (except for 4 day out of the entire 7 months). I also cramped like a mad man ( the number one reason I started taking birth control years ago)  . It made me extremely emotional, and that's what made me take it out despite the other side effects. It was literally driving me crazy to the point where my family asked is maybe I should think about getting it taken out. I had a past of severe anxiety, and it made it even worse unfortunately. Good thing everyone's body chemistry is different, hopefully it will help someone else."


"I've only been taking this for a little over a month and I can already tell a big difference.  i feel 10 times bettter."


"I was shocked having been through awful withdrawals before how much of a difference it was. I was easily taking 100mg/day of oxy. I tapered down too fast in 5 days to 15mg then was out. Couldn't get subs because I was also taking Xanax. Clonidine is very underestimated. I took it after my last dose of oxy and at 24/48 hours, I was groggy and weak but no stomach cringing muscle tension or nausea. It took a few days but today on day 3 I'm just fatigued. Still no withdrawal. Doesn't stop cravings and renders me lazy as hell but better than full withdrawal"


"I had severe bronchitis from a sinus infection while traveling.  It was causing me severe pulmonary distress.  I was taking my rescue inhaler every 2 hours.  The doctor in Hungary prescribed acetylcysteine, to help clear the lungs.  My lungs cleared in days.  What a difference!  The only side effect I had was dripping from my nose.  It liquified the mucus there too.

Usually back home in the US they prescribe steroids (prednisone) and albuterol nebulizer treatments for weeks while the coughing clears.  No more for me."


"This is my third time having a yeast infection so I knew exactly what it was. I usually get the pill from my doctor but I didn't have the time to go to the clinic, so I decided to buy monistat 3. My god, when I first put it in it was okay but about 2 mins later I was in Sooooooo much pain! The inside of my vagina was BURNING as if I set it in fire. The burning lasted for about 15 mins. I decided to continue the treatment and on day 2 same thing. I'm not doing the third day! Just going to hope this infection leave with only the 2 doses"


"I started taking this medicine after being dependent on alcohol for almost 3 to 5 years. I lost a lot such as my job and driving license. However I did still have my family and needed to do something before I lost them too. Once I started to take acamprosate, I was a little unsure but this was something I needed to do for yourself and my family.

I have been on them for 2 months now and not touched a drop, it was very hard to begin with but I now have my life back.

I never want to go back to that dark place I was in.. acamprosate has saved my life."


"Horrible. First pill and it's the worst. Getting switched right away. Lots of nausea and stomach/upper abdominal discomfort and bloating. Does anyone have any better recommendations for BCP, like organic ones?"


"I use Nasonex because my allergies trigger migraines. I spray the Nasonex when I feel a migraine coming on because of the sinus pressure and it works within 10 minutes. A real life saver!"


"I started Lexapro the summer before my sophomore year of college and have now been on it for about 6 months now. It worked pretty well in the first month, my anxiety went down but after that it felt useless. We upped the dosage all the way from I think 5mg to 20mg by the end of the summer and still felt useless. I decided to continue taking Lexapro as I went back to college and I still felt like it was not working. I still felt really anxious and on edge all the time so I decided to go to the school's psychiatry center, which during my screening they told me that Lexapro is actually known for dying out over time. I stopped taking it and my anxiety is through the roof. Overall, it helped me but not as much as I'd liked it to"


"made me very restless and jittery could not sleep"


"I started taking Divalproex(Depakote)250mg on June 10th and than on June 17th I was admitted into a psychiatric hospital because of my bipolar.  I learned from the psychiatrist there that the dosage I was on was absolutely nothing and would have no effect on me.  The psychiatrist ended up raising the dose to 750mg.  I definetly can tell that my mood is leveled out for the most part. I would recommended this to people with bipolar and people with seizures(I was diagnosed a few years ago with non eptiletic seizures).  So far I dont see any side effects, thank God.  I take this medication at night along with:

Aripiprazole(Abilify)15mg

Trazodone(Desyrel)50mg

Hydroxyzine(Vistaril)50mg

Clonazepam(Klonopin)1mg"


"This medication didn't do anything for my clinical depression or anxiety, but it did help me  gain about 90 pounds which I desperately needed due to my anorexia."


"I have had this IUD for about 9 months, and I want to give it a good review, but I can't. At first I absolutely loved it. I have always had really painful periods, and within the first 2 months my period basically stopped. I've only had 2 very light ones since. I haven't had any pain from it, no changes to my sex drive, and I don't have to think about it.

But...

After I had my son I was 10lbs LESS than my pre-preg weight, but after I had the Mirena put in I gained those 10lbs back, and have been battling to keep it at just 10. On top of that I've had acne like never before in my life, and have recurring yeast infections (which I almost never got before).

It took me a while to put it all together, but I've decided that I need to get it out."


"Immediate relief, so glad my optician gave me a sample to try."


"A friend of mine dropped a ton of weight. She looks awesome. She is in her 30's me in my 50's and I have been climbing in weight. Quit smoking 2 yrs ago. Now at 246 and 5 ft 7  high blood pressure high cholestrol and pre diabetic.   I need a jump start and I am praying this drug will help. I have the prescription and starting tomorrow morning 3/4/16.  I know if I don't drop the weight I won't be around. I was always thinner besides my having 5 babies but this is the largest I have ever been. Yes one gets depressed and eats for comfort. But I hope this medication just makes me not want all the food day prayers will update in a month"


"I got this as my first birth control experience at the age of 17. When I first got it, I didn't realize that all of the side effects I was having were caused by this. I gained some weight. I was moody and had zero sex drive. I also had irregular periods which I never had before. I would bleed for a couple days after every sexual encounter. I won't lie, I had a promiscuous year during year 3 of having this. I didn't have a single pregnancy scare. But after the first year of having Implanon, my side effects subsided. I love it. I am so glad that I have it. I had it replaced last summer and saw a few side effects from it. Just irregular periods again. But it is so worth it. A year of side effects is nothing compared to being a mom."


"Surprised to hear all the bad side effects people are having. This medicine is easy to swallow and doesn't taste that horrible. No nausea or headaches for me. In fact this medication gives me a slight euphoria that is actually enjoyable. I recommend this medication. I have taken it before 3 months ago and it cleared up my bv in 3 days. I'm now on day 2 of the medicine and my symptoms have not cleared yet but I'm anticipating by tomorrow they will."


"The first 2 months were okay until now... I usually bleed for 5 days an then spot for 2... I have been bleeding for almost 3 weeks now and I am bleeding more than I ever have before... I feel really sick and have been really tired... My anxiety has gotten worse and looking at food makes me want to throw up.... I'm sick of this pill and do not recommend it...!"


"I’m 18 and I’ve had about 2 other YIs before this one that made me choose 7 day because I was simply too lazy to go to the doctor. BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS INTENSE ITCHING WITH ANY OTHER YI MEDICINE. I’ve taken the 3 day a year  ago and this burning itching sensation WAS NEVER A ISSUE but for some reason monistat 7 gives me more of a itch within 5 minutes after inserting   than my own YIs have ever gave me !!!  Never have I had this intense itching .. reading these comments give me hope to ride it out and pray for the best results because yeast infections are not fun at all."


"I had been using inhalers - steroid (Serevant) and fast acting ones for many years. I couldn't climb stairs without needing a "puff". I couldn't play with the kids without having to stop often. After one serious attack I had to use an atomizer at the doctors office and I started Singulair from the next day. I have not used or carried an inhaler for almost 10 years now. It has changed my life. I can run with my kids, walk up stairs, shovel snow, etc. "


"Works great.  Nothing helped my cough and congestion until I began taking Bromfed."


"I took this pill 2 days after unprotected sex (July 16th) and bled a little 4 or 5 days later. I think it was just withdrawal bleeding not a period. So anyway August gets here and I still have yet to get my actual period. Didn't get one all of August so I bought a home pregnancy test beginning of September because at this point I didn't think Plan B had worked (although I had no typical pregnancy symptoms). Anyway I took two home pregnancy tests and they both came back negative. This morning I started getting bad cramps and finally I got my period. Now I know this pill is different for everyone but I'd say unless you absolutely have no other options then don't take this pill. Just get on birthcontrol or have the guy wear a condom. I am relieved I'm not pregnant though."


"I read the reviews on Mucinex and was a little concerned but I was also desperate. For 2 months I had a thick post nasal drip that would cause me to constantly cough, especially at night. I had to sleep sitting up in my chair in the living room. I was wheezing, runny nose, coughing up tons of mucus or clearing my throat from it. I took one tablet at 8 am and another tablet at 8 pm. OMG I can clearly breathe with no wheezing or congestion or mucus getting in my way. I slept through the night and when I woke up my nasal passages and throat were clear. "


"I've been on Trulicity for 5 or 6 weeks now. It definitely decreases my appetite. The verdict is still out on my blood sugars. I have unpredictable retching. It just occurs out of the blue almost on a daily basis. Sometimes there is a tiny bit of nausea, sometimes no nausea at all. The retching leads to vomiting about 25% of the time. I'm not sure if I'll stay on it or not. It depends on if this retching gets better."


"I contracted the disease thanks to my then-boyfriend, whose whole family, including himself, got them. I tried everything to make them go away - Carmex, Campho-Phenique (which was just ridiculous), even ice.  Nothing worked.  My then - boyfriend finally got a prescription for Denavir, which only worked once. It helped heal the cold sores, but never prevented them. Valtrex was prescribed to me and I never got them. "


"The pain to my shoulder and right arm are so intance that I can not function. I have problems taking care of my chores to the point that I just can not do them.  My arm has become immovable due to stiffness and the profound pain. I can't sleep at night unless I double on a sleeping aid.  I can't live this way. My life is depressing."


"Dulcolax has put me in the ER more than once due to the pain, vomiting, sweating, dizziness being so severe that I thought I was going to die. Sometimes it works well with very little side effects,  but it's not worth taking the chance. I've been constipated over half my life. The best results I've ever had have came from taking an over the counter (generic) stool softener along with senna, or the generic brand of senna along with drinking lots of water. There is also a stool softener plus laxative combination, over the counter medicine you can buy. If these things work for me, they (should) work for just about anyone as I said, I have had issues with constipation forever. I have to deal with it on a daily basis. Hope this helps some1."


"I had a very overweight friend whose doctor put her on orlistat, it really did work for her. She said that if she ate a fatty meal then at some point she would see that greasy oily leakage that the orlistat stopped from being absorbed into her body. She did start to eat healthier and lost more weight through that and the knowledge that if she fancied something a bit naughty food wise she had the orlistat to help. I do worry it's a bit of a comfort blanket for her as she doesn't believe she can lose the weight without having her orlistat to hand if needed. She looks pretty good now but still relies on her orlistat for 'bad days ' ."


"This product brought new growth. It took a little while but have regrown hair back and front. I was having great anxiety over hair loss because I am only 22, however I feel so much better and look like my old self again. Would recommend."


"Amazing results bladder wise. No more rushing to the toilet for fear of wetting. Dry throat for the first two months but better now. Worst problem is uncontrollable weight gain. This is frustrating as I have a heathy diet. My doctor doesn't seem to offer any help."


"I've had gout for many, many years.  I cut sugar completely out of my diet, and my gout has been mostly a thing of the past.  The one thing I always forget is that my 1x per year gout attack that I didn't take the Indomethacin in time.  Take it as SOON as you start to feel the pain.  Most importantly, my medication seems to only last 6 months.  Last night, I felt it coming on.  I took my Indomethacin, and nothing.  No relief.  Took three more today, no relief.  The prescription was from 01/29/2015.  Today is 02/18/2016.  So, in just over one year, my meds went bad.  I just picked up a prescription 4 hours ago.  Took one pill, and the gout is gone in 4 hrs .  So, pay attention to the shelf life.  I believe that it's short for this med."


"I was prescribed Klonopin to get me through anxiety exarcebated by starting on Lexapro. It is a benzo and therefore highly addictive so I was very careful about taking it as little as possible. I found it to be very effective and one tablet would actually keep me calm for around 36 hours ( it has a very long half life ). I did not feel side effects and didn't feel drunk or disoriented. Was effective for me but needs to be used with care. "


"It works, but stressful experience. This pill made me skip my period for 58 days. Which resulted in a lot of anxiety and pregnancy tests. It also took over a full month of quitting the medicine before I got my cycle to come back. "


"I am 40 years old and suffering with hot flushes and menopouse related symptoms. Only I can say Angeliq is great! I an a normal human being now."


"Xenical made look skinnier than ever. I also controlled my calorie intake while i was taking them. I went from 140 to 125. i was 125lbs when i was 15 yrs old, now I am 32. the issue with the bothrooms trips is true and kind of uncomfortable but but you will learn to deal with situation."


"I started the Nexplanon November of 2013. From there my period was crazy and out of control. I started getting acne and my sex drive was down to the ground! I haven't had sexual intercourse in months because of the prolong period and no sex drive. Other than that I love that you don't have to worry about taking it everyday and that I didn't gain weight. I had to get it taken out after 6 months, which is today. Couldn't take it anymore."


"Did not work only gained weight"


"I rate this low because I am an exception. Within 3 minutes of my shot I had severe reaction and it took excellent medical intervention to save me. I have never had any allergic reaction to any food, product, or medicine prior to this shot.  I am informed this is an excellent drug, however, do not take this shot without the first being at a clinic or other medical setting."


"Helped a bit for about 2 weeks. Then completely stopped working. Starting trazadone tonight. Hope it works. I've slept maybe 5 hours in the last 8 days..."


"Doesn't work for me."


"I read the instructions carefully....very very carefully. I didn't have any kind of dairy within an hour before taking the pills, I didn't take any antacids before taking the pills and I took 3 because it said it was safe and it had been weeks since my last bm and I was really uncomfortable. If I could go back in time and not take them, I would. I'm in terrible pain, gut wrenching, screaming in the bathroom, thinking I'm going to pass out and thanking God that the babysitter is on her way to save the day. I will NEVER take these again! Ouch!!"


"I know it's still early to review Chantix, after all, I'm only two weeks in (Quit in day 7). One pack smoker for almost 18 years, I've tried almost pretty much everything to quit: NRT, Zyban, e-Cig. I was a bit nervous about trying Chantix at first, due to it's bad reputation of side effects, but guess what? Nothing, nada, zip, except for a few COOL dreams here and there. But I feel Chantix not only helped me to stop my nicotine addiction, but also my caffeine and alcohol (mild) addictions, oh, and It also certainly cancelled the effects from Ritalin (I have ADHD) somehow, and I've stop taking it, but still, I feel more focused and productive with Chantix than with Ritalin. Chantix should be researched as a ADHD medicine as well! Thanks!"


"Cheaper than some other medicines. It's my wonder drug."


"I was on gianvi for about 3 years or so. At first I really really liked it. It was super easy to take, my skin cleared up, and my periods became sooo much easier as well as I stopped getting cysts. However, towards the end of my taking the pill I began to realize just how depressed it was making me. I began having suicidal thoughts, I was just in a really bad place and then it occurred to me that it might have been the birth control affecting me so I stopped taking it and I have been so much happier, the depression is as if it was never there. Looking back, I miss gianvi. It would have been perfect had it not affected my head."


"I love this birth control! I have struggled since I was 16 with finding a birth control that was right for me. I have had so many issues with abnormal bleeding, mood swings, weight gain etc, and have not liked the fact that the long term effects of birth control can lead to heart disease, blood clots and more. This birth control has changed my life. I have lost all of my mood swings, I feel so much better in general, I have lost weight and most of all ladies my sex drive is THROUGH THE ROOF. Not that me or my husband are complaining. It's been a very nice thing. All you have to do is take it every day at the same time. And no matter how busy your schedule you can set a simple alarm on your phone. Try this pill! You won't regret it!"


"At my wits end. Fibromyalgia began to make me FEEL depressed - I figured an SSRI class medicine wouldn't be all bad. Had a hard time with Cymbalta, but ready to try anything. Within hours after taking first dose began violent mood swings that woke me up and sent me keeling over the toilet with nausea from so much anxiety. when I fell asleep I woke up and began crying. It was..weird. My persistence with increasing dosage only re-affirmed nausea. So my medicines for IBS were pointless. Anxiety increase led to increase in anti-anxiety medicines. Unsure how to feel for a while.. It cured a bit of fogginess but I think exaggerated other symptoms. I was a raving lunatic with a tummy ache. Didn't feel like me."


"Atorvastatin did lower my cholesterol quite a bit, but within the first couple of weeks I developed muscle pain in the back of one knee. After another week, I developed muscle pain in the calf of the other leg. My doctor doesn't think this was caused by Atorvastatin. He believes it is arthritis. He ordered an xray of knee and blood test for liver function. Waiting for results. If pain is from arthritis. I will continue taking medicine. If Atorvastatin is affecting muscles or liver, I may discontinue or ask to switch to another statin."


"I was on the depo shot for 2 years. With depo I gained 15 pounds over the 2 years. Although this isn't much, it's a lot for a short person (I'm 4'11"). I had heavy bleeding for a whole year on depo, then eventually I stopped getting my period (which is great because they were extremely painful). With nexplanon, I had light spotting for 3 days and haven't had a period since. Also, I lost 8 pounds in the 3 months that I've had nexplanon without changing diet or exercise after switching. My only complaint is sometimes if you put pressure on where it's implanted, you can feel it poking. I avoid my son or husband laying on my arm because of it."


"After two years of constant anxiety regarding my son (who is addicted to pain killers and incarcerated) I finally sought the help of my doctor.  She prescribed this medication and it saved me! I am still ME , but can calmly deal with his situation with love and hope instead of complete sadness."


"I was prescribed Cymbalta as a preventative for intractable migraines. I was also dealing with some depression due to my chronic pain.
I was on a dose of 20mg at bed and was to increase to 40mg after 2 weeks. After my first dose, I awoke with general nausea. I had diarrhea once that 1st day. After my 2nd dose the worst of it started. I awoke three times that night with diarrhea - literally. I didn't wake up having to run to the the bathroom. I was awakened because I was in the process of soiling myself in bed. I couldn't eat, lost 5lbs in a week, had diarrhea the whole time. I stopped talking it and had the worst migraine of my life and electric zaps for two days after. Just say no to Cymbalta."


"It has changed my life. It's a wonder drug for me."


"I LOVE my IUD. I was so so scared before I got it after reading reviews about insertion pain, bleeding, cramping, etc...  I decided to give it a try and told myself that if it was horrible, I would just get it removed after my first month. Well... I still have mine in! It is the best thing I have ever done. My cramping is a bit different--more piercing--but not unmanageable. I do not take birth control--but, instead, use cramp bark to help relieve the pain. I also take Vitamin E to reduce the bleeding. However, even without these supplements, my period is so manageable. The insertion itself was not even bad for me. I felt a bit of pain--then it was over and I carried on with my day! I love it and would recommend it to anyone!!"


"I took this drug from 20-35 weeks because I gave birth to a premie 11years ago-unknown reasons. I'll refuse this drug in future pregnancies, the fact that the makena keeps the baby in longer isn't enough for me to say it worked or didn't.
There is no specific information on how this drug works.

It will make you feel weird sometimes crazy, angry, and super tired. It messes with your blood sugars and for me caused gestational diabetes, I ate extremely well  and exericize yet somehow developed GD? The diet is ridiculously frustrating, one day I had enough and ate whatever I wanted, to my surprise my numbers were normal it was then I found the longer I went without the drug the more my sugars regulated."


"I took my first dose today.  The first thing I noticed was tingling in my legs and hands.  As the day progressed my legs have felt less heavy, my left leg has dragged much less, I'm not shaking as bad and I have a lot more energy.  I can't wait to see how I feel by the weekend."


"Such a great product. The day after my first use I had no sweat stains at all. Usually, at around 7 am, I would get these huge, embarrassing, sweat stains. Now, I had none and it was such a relief. If you are experiencing sweating problems, please, please, please use Drysol- you will get amazing results."


"I went from being extremely angry and so anxious I couldn't leave the house, to now being able to go out in public, socialize with others, and live life. I feel much happier, have more energy, and am MUCH more pleasant to be around."


"Amazingly effective. Leaves me calm during the day as well. Great sleep with no side effects."


"I had very high cholesterol, 280. Prescribed Atorvastatin 20 mg, Began to have erratic blood pressure within a week of taking it going as high as 190 over 100, sending me rushing to the ER. Doctor put me on BP meds and upped my Atorvastatin to 40MG. Within a week the erratic BP continued and I developed a cough with Phlegm most noticeable at night before sleep and when I awoke. I then developed acute dizziness, severe soreness in chest and lungs, significant pain in my surgically repaired tendon in my hand, numbness that ran up my arm to my head on one side of my body. My labs came back with my  total cholesterol reduced to 125. But I became prediabetic, liver function abnormal, and creative protein rising from 1 to 6. I stopped taking it."


"I've been on Plaquenil for over 3 months now. It works wonderfully! I combine my treatment with Curcumin & Magnesium baths and I feel like a new woman :-) Side effects I experienced: Nausea & dizziness for the first week or two (I found I needed to take it after a full meal to prevent the nausea). I have also noticed since starting the Plaquenil I seem to sweat profusely. It's annoying, but the benefits far outweigh this little problem. I just wear my gym gear about now... which I did mostly beforehand anyhow :-) Also, it take take a couple months for the Plaquenil to kick in & for me to feel the effects! Don't give up, just give it some time."


"Doctor gave me prescription for Vicodin (5-500: hydrocodone/acetaphenamin) post shoulder surgery: 1 every 4-6 hrs. It blocked the pain HOWEVER within 12 hours made me dizzy and gave me cold sweats and nausea; couldn't stand up or walk without help. Switched to Ultram/tramadol 50mg 1 every 6 hours (which worked fine - no side effects)."


"I finally went to the doctors in February after a combination of events (health worries, loss of a close friend and problems with teenage daughter) flipped me over to a point where I really didn't want to wake up next morning. She initially prescribed me 20mg of Citalopram daily. At first I had headaches but after about a week I suddenly felt a LOT better in myself, much more calm and it was as though the tablets had 'smoothed' me out and got rid of the stress I used to feel about minor things. My doctor has been brilliant in not just leaving me on them but reviewing me every 6 weeks and gradually we have reduced my dosage to 10mg daily. I still feel great and am hopeful of reducing the dosage further over time."


"Magnesium Citrate really works. It tastes terrible, but it's worth it. Just drink it fast. Once, it worked for me within an hour or two. Last night, I took it at around eight and went before seven this morning. It takes a while sometimes, but it cleans you out completely. Your stool will be liquid for the most part after drinking this, but some light pushing may be required."


"Very helpful for knee osteoarthritis"


"Doctor prescribed medication to lower 120/80 blood pressure to new regulation guidelines 115/75 due to weight and family history of heart disease. Within 2 weeks felt lethargic, dizzy and began coughing but on return visit blood pressure was 110/68 and doctor was very pleased. I began coughing continuously with clear sputum for the next month and would cough so hard I was becoming incontinent. Went back to PCP who prescribed round of antibiotics for bronchitis but blood pressure is great. Doctor confirmed that 1 in 10 people can't take this medication due to this side effect. "


"I was started on Mirapex for Parkinson's Disease. I have horrible pain, stiffness, tremors, headaches, dizziness and the list goes on. I had been confined to bed for nearly a year due to my complications. The very day I began taking the Mirapex we began to see improvement. As my dosage was increased I continued to show more and more improvement.  Mirapex is giving me my life back...slowly but surely!  The only complications I have are when my dosage is increased. I have slight nausea and tiredness but other than that I have had no other side effects."


"I have progressed to 200mg a day. Now needed help and was given Wellbutrin. The combination seems to be working. But the side effects do exist. Cannot run out or stop taking it. Horrible feeling and dizziness. Also serial performance is affected."


"I was feeling a bit anxious and depress. I am on lexapro 10 for 3 weeks.minimal side effects sleepy and yawny. But the first pill I took it made me feel myself. Thank you for this meds very effective."


"Great medication. Immediate results. Life changing for me."


"I had been taking ortho tri cyclen lo but had to switch to this generic tri lo sprintec. I started it on vacation with my fiancé in Hawaii and it made me SO moody, irritable, angry, and crazy! Not much can ruin a vaca in Hawaii, but it definitely caused me to start a lot of fights with my s/o. Seriously, these side effects are so real. I'm sure it affects everyone differently, but I'm switching right away. That's the first thing my fiancé said to me too- caused me to not act my normal self, cry about everything and make everything a difficult situation. Such a terrible experience. No babies though.."


"My period ended Jan 26th and I had sex Feb 3rd. The second my boyfriend realized the condom broke we jumped in the car and got the Plan B pill which I took immediately (45min after sex). During the time the condom broke and took plan B I was ovulating (according to my period tracker app and physical signs). I got my period on the exact day I was scheduled to get it (two weeks after sex). I also took a pregnancy test which came back negative. Such a relief. Plan B made me very lethargic and sick to my stomach for about two weeks. So happy with the product. If you took it and are still freaking out... Don't!"


"I don't normally write reviews, but there is so much negative feedback being given about Belsomra right now that I feel obligated to give a dissenting opinion. I suffered for nearly 10 years with chronic insomnia that severely impacted my ability to function. Benzodiazepine didn't help, because I needed to take them every night, and I built a tolerance to them very quickly. It may be too early to say for sure, but I've been taking a 20mg dose of Belsomra for the past two months, with no apparent tolerance issues. It has helped me to have a normal life again where every other sleep medication I tried had failed."


"i regret taking this. Have been signed off work for almost two weeks. My side affects are Numbness and parasthaesia down one side of my body.. My leg felt like it was seizing up. I'm still getting problems with my muscles in my knee I have no energy to go out the house. It is poison!!!!!! I can't wait to feel normal again."


"I was on xulane for about a year and it seemed to work well for me. After deciding to go off of it in February to see if my bleeding had gone to normal, everything was thrown off. I've gotten my period about twice since then at very weird times and that was only in the beginning. It is now July and I haven't had a period since April and I am not on any form of contraception. Not having a period would be nice and all, but I still experience PMS, mood swings, and extremely bad cramps; yet not bleeding at all. I guess this would be okay if you're not planning on getting pregnant soon after going off (I'm not considering that for quite a few years)."


"I upset that they even get a 1! Doesn't work! Cold sore only got worse!"


"A great medicine for restless legs syndrome, anxiety and restless mind. I take 50 mg before bed and sleep well, sometimes I still get restless but a wonderful relief the trazodone has made the night time so much better. "


"Latuda has been a hero in my battle against schizophrenia.  Aside from having to take with food and having trouble cooling off in hot weather I am very glad to have latuda. This drug makes it impossible for me to function acceptably in life due to side effects such as sedation and other cognitive issues.  So I accept that gladly as it cures my schizophrenia. I take 120 mg each day. I try to save my pill as late in the day as I can but usually take it around one o clock. So I cannot function at a job acceptably and need help functioning at home occasionally but my schizophrenia is entirely in check for the most part."


"I have had Mirena for almost a year now. I got it in October 2010. I am 17 years old with no children. Other birth controls did not work for me. So my OB/GYN and I decided to try Mirena as a last resort for my woman problems (cysts,heavy bleeding).  When I first got Mirena I was in terrible pain, but I had also never had children so my cervix was really tightly shut. The procedure lasted about 3 and 1/2 minutes then the pain lessened to intense period cramps.  After that I had my period for 2 months straight with serious mood swings, cravings and weight gain. I've gotten the weight off and am period free! LOVE IT!"


"took one , felt bad./ took second dose according to schedule....stood up to go to bed, blacked out, ended up in ER with concussion. / no way would i take this again. / there has to be better antibiotics than this dangerous drug."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"It is Tuesday 05/10/2011 went to my follow up visit and with the Neulasta my white cell count went up to 24.0(normal range is 4.0 to 10.0) now it is too high and my NE#  went way up to 21.4 that is what they use to determine what level your immune system is at. Before the Neulasta my NE# was 0.32 which is very low which puts me at a very high risk of infection. Normal range is 1.4 to 6.5 , so the Neulasta is working very well some might say too well :-). Side Effects were really bad on last Friday and Saturday after that I was okay."


"I had struggled with Benign Essential Tremor for about 7 years (post-trauma), with shaky hands, stuttered speech, etc.  For years I was given Valium or Xanax to treat it.  In an effort to make a career change, I asked my doctor to find a non-narcotic solution.  In short, after seeing a neurologist I was prescribed propranolol and I'm free of almost all symptoms with less side effects and the negative stigma of being prescribed a benzo."


"Puts the kabosh on anxiety pretty well indeed.  Nice because you can dissolve this medicine under your tongue (even with the "normal" type pill) if you get into a situation where you need it's effect quickly.  Very potent anti-anxiety medicine."


"Had a colds for about week tried using abreva didn't help it went to the emergency they prescribed me valtrex right after the first dose you see a major progress the way it looks I may be healed completely in 3days this stuff does work don't waste money on abreva just call your doctor for some valtrex!!!!!"


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


"I have been on otezla going on 4 months now, my results have not been that great. My plaques are less angry and not as red but they are still very visible and itchy, the majority of my plaques are on my legs and arms the rest of my body was always clear.  Visiting with my dermatologist to see if I shoukd give it some more time or stop taking it; I'll keep you posted. I had very little side affects by the way, a little diareah."


"At first I found this method ideal! I was terrible at remembering to take the pill and the though of an IUD that could "migrate" (i.e. puncture my uterine wall) was NOT something I was too keen on trying - this seemed like the perfect solution. All was well for the first 6-8 months; my period virtually stopped and I didn't worry about taking a pill or getting pregnant!  As the 8 month mark sent in, I started to gain weight (25lbs) but that wasn't even the most troubling side-effect. I started to experience crippling mood swings, I would be driving to work and a song would come on and I would burst into tears. I would get irrationally mad at people for stupid things, and I found myself slipping into a moderate depression. Do NOT recommend."


"It's pretty good at controlling my asthma, but when my allergies get worse (which is always) or when I have a cold, it doesn't help much."


"My experience with this birth control was absolutely horrendous.
1. Constant bleeding
2. Heart palpitations and shortness of breath
3.Extreme moodswings
4. Excessive weight gain
Please trust the list of side effects of a product. I honestly didn't take heed and figured it wouldn't happen to me. It happened, and it was horrible. I would not recommend this product if you're sensitive to changes in your body. It is also very difficult to remove this product, if you're having problems, as in shifting of the implant, pain, numbness of arm and fingertips. Clinics have to find someone that's qualified to remove the product and it's extremely difficult. It is considered a surgery which makes your appointment wait time months out depending on where you live"


"Had a colonoscopy on 11/07/15. On the side that the propofol was administered which was my left side I am having spasm on my left neck as well as headache on that side also earache. I thought it may be a ear infection but, I have never had an ear infection before. Going to the doctor Monday to see what is really going on it has been two months since I had the procedure done."


"Got it back in Sept 2015 and so far so good. I love it!  I did get my period about 2-3 weeks after getting it lasted about 3- 4 weeks and haven't gotten my period since!  Guess everyone's body reacts to it different but for me it did wonders. Didn't gain any weight. Though 4 months later I started to break out. Not sure if it's the birth control but I will try to manage that. Happy that I don't have to take the pills because sometimes I would forget."


"5 mg Crestor for about 3 weeks after becoming menopausal and having cholesterol spike even higher (family genetic condition)- no side effects at first and numbers started to improve THEN -everything went haywire- rapid weight gain & all symptoms of pre-menopause has come back -now having severe joint pain so have stopped taking it completely."


"It has improved my quality of life. I have been taking this medicine for 3 years with no side effects."


"I had this inserted in August. It is now December and I’m happy to say I’m getting this removed tomorrow! I had the IUD before this and had it removed due to painful intercourse so I thought this was the next easiest thing to do. WRONG. I haven’t  experienced  bleeding but my anxiety is out of control. I’m also now having to take blood pressure medicine due to my heart is always racing. I have little patience for my two year old which makes me sad. I wish I wouldn’t of stuck through with like my doctor practically forced me too! I could’ve had this thing removed at month 2! Can’t wait to feel normal again. Do NOT recommend."


"The medicine works great for vaginitis, however, after using it a few times my doctor says I "built an allergy" to it, I started getting hives every time I took it, so I just don't take it anymore.  Trust me, I wish I could it works the best out of all my experiences."


"Opioids since 2000,  Chronic Pain from Post-Polio Syndrome.  I've been fighting this big problem since 2001 &  I've tried everything.  For the last two years I used "irrigation",  a slow and messy solution.  Recently I tried  Movantik,  but found it to be significantly harsher on the GI tract.  As soon as I got over the "Yikes!  I'm about to stick a needle in my stomach!",  everything went swimmingly.  Yes,  moderate gas cramping,  but far gentler than what I'd suffered in the past.  It was incredibly fast in my case.  First "urge"  in under 15 minutes and major evac in just a few minutes.  I  figured I was done for the day 1,  so I  headed back to bed.  Fifteen minutes later my 2nd evac was twice as big as the first.  5 Stars"


"It does help me a lot, plus I have zero side effects."


"For nearly ten years I struggled with restless leg syndrome, a truly miserable and frustrating condition.  The only 'treatment' I found to be effective was to get up and walk about.  However, between about midnight and 6:00 a.m. this becomes quite inconvenient.  Soaking in water as hot as I could stand worked only for a few seconds.  Relief from massages was also extremely temporary.  Initially I tried Requip, which seemed like it might be helping a teeny bit, but left much to be desired.  Later a neurologist switched me to Mirapex.  Following a 'breaking in' period, at long last I found relief from this miserable condition.  As long as I take my daily doses, I have relief.  So far, so good."


"I am losing a lot of hair meaning it is coming off in clumps so I rated it low. It has worked on cravings and I like the "safety net" of taking the injection as it prevents me from making an impulsive bad decision. I wish I could continue taking these injections"


"I took reclipsen for around 10 years with no issues. My doctor said I could ride this out until age 50 as I didn't have any risk factors (except age as I was over 40).  Out of the blue, I got a groin to knee DVT and the cause was this stupid pill!!!! I am so very lucky it didn't become a PE and I could have suffered a horrible disability or worse.  7 months later and I still have long term effects from the DVT and the damage to my leg caused by it.  When I asked by doctor if they would be reporting as an adverse reaction to the FDA, she said "oh, they already know." which tells me, the side effects (especially the serious ones) are under-reported!!!!!

Find another method of BC!!!! This isn't worth it!"


"I have been on Tramadol for about 4 to 6 years. I occasionally go through the Vicodins, Darvacets, Percocets, and etc. type drugs. I didn't like being addicted to anything, so it is good hearing the positives over the negatives. I didn't like the look I would get from family and friends who saw me taking my medicine and wondering was I abusing it or not. I am doing this for me, my family and friends. I am just scared that I would relapse and that at some point Suboxone won't work. But it has only been 3 days and the drowsiness is horrible and interferes with my daily activities. So I have to take it with clonazepam, a medicine they say not to take it with, but my doctor advised it."


"Alittle over a year ago I started suffering from the worst depression I have ever had before this I had minor depression but more anxiety social anxiety ect. During this bad depression I felt like I would never get better and lost all hope stoped working and felt like I would never be the same person as I was. I was only 27 at that time with two daughters I would never commit suicide to to my belief But I felt like I couldnt go on as soon as I woke up from sleeping maybe few hours my mind was running and I hated every minute of being alive feeling like this. I was prescribed effexor and went back to work with in a week I stared feeling like this might work fast forward a year I got promotion at my job and no anxiety or depression now."


"Worked great when I first started meds, but slowly had to increase dosage for relief. I have Fibromyalgia. I take 12 to 16 mg at night. I have started having hallucinations, terrible nightmares. It causes really bad dry mouth. Doesn't help me sleep anymore. Will see if there is something else out there."


"I started bleeding last year 2016 in April and bled until this year 2017 June. I had a D&C in Nov 2016 and had mirena placed. Well mirena wasn't for me, it caused weight gain and loss of hair not to mention no sex drive and was still bleeding so I had the mirena removed on 6/18/16.  Bleeding got worse by the next day doc had prescribed jolivette the mini pill there are like 7 different names for this pill also known as the mini pill or POPs. I started it on Saturday the 19th and 6 days later period free, no cramping, no bloating, no back pain - nothing. I'm so happy after a year of bleeding its finally over and I'm 47 no side effects at all. I'm actually losing weight so if you have abnormal bleeding I would highly recommend this pill"


"If anyone is thinking about taking this medicine don't. I lost some weight, but the side effects was very bad for me. I took  it for about 2 months cause I spent so much money on it I thought the side effects would go away but they didn't. I don't want to eat cause I stayed sick all day. My Doctor give me some medicine for the nausea, but it only help a little. I have never felt like this in my life and I will never take another diet pill again it is not worth it. I had headaches, stomach pain, dry mouth, couldn't sleep. Don't buy this medicine please. This medicine should be taking off the market."


"After two months of being on this medication, I had to wean off. I just couldn't take it anymore. You feel absolutely horrible on this stuff. Severe brain fog, unease, restless, extremely affected my cognitive abilities, etc. This was the worst SSRI I have ever taken. It did not work for me, however, it might work for you. After two months of being off the medication, the brain fog and cognitive abilities are still present, this did not happen on other SSRIs."


"So I've been taking this for about a week now.  I have to be near a bathroom within an hour after taking it on an empty stomach.  As soon as I hear the sounds in my stomach, its GI time!  For a person that has suffered with gut problems my whole life, and going more than 7 days without a BM.  I will take it, never a solid bm, always a blowout to be blunt.  To me that's better than going on antibiotics all the time cause of the build up of bacteria in the small intestine and the methane in my stomach reacting to everything I eat and feeling like I'm gonna due cause of the flame feeling in my gut.  Thank God! It is expensive, $30 for 30 pills"


"I took this medicine for a few days. The rage I had at all times was so intense it frightened me.  It made me have thoughts of hurting others to the point I could not work for fear of hurting people I work with. I had to board my cats to keep from hurting them.  I have been off this drug for a year but now when I try other anti depressants the rage seems to come back."


"Only on day 2 so I'm not sure if  work yet. But to get minimize the awful taste I dip the pill in olive oil then swallow it. Hides the bad taste!"


"Did nothing for the anxiety I have. It hepled a titch with the insomnia if I took the maximum dose for the day, but even then if I couldn't sleep when it hit then good luck: would be left feeling odd ,kinda out of it, which made me feel anxious.  I stopped taking it after Dr doubled the dose to no improvement."


"Only took 2 pills on day one. Day 2... throat starting to feel better!! Yay!!!! Red welts all over my legs, butt ,back, and eyes real puffy!!! Guess I'm allergic!!! On to the next medicine."


"Very bad experience. Heart pounding immediately after ingestion, extreme sensitivity to light, swelling of face, gum, etc."


"Given to me for pain, didn't work for that but, it worked great for my restless leg syndrome and my depression.  I take 4 at once a day in the afternoon. I never take more than that.
I am addicted, tried to stop taking them for 2 weeks and I felt sooo sick and weak. I also started getting these weird tings in my head, like a rubberband snap sensation.
I can't stop taking them. If I do I cant function well."


"I've had the Implanon since May 2010. It was a quick & easy insertion, just left me a tiny bruise & a little scar that I don't even notice. I had a period after the insertion and now I have my period about every 5 or 6 months. I've had no weight gain, actually I'm losing weight. No acne or any hormonal changes. I've used everything from the pill to the IUD and the Implanon has given me the best results."


"My second day I found myself driving to the 7-11 and don't remember it. My next room friend told me. "


"I could not take this medicine at all.  It caused severe breathing problems. After 5 days I could only walk 20ft before stopping to catch my breath.  I did not notice much drop in blood pressure."


"This medication turned me into a zombie. I was so tired and unmotivated all the time. I decided I wanted off of this poison and had to taper so slow because I got bad withdrawls in the smallest dose changes. I even went down to 10mg by empting out half the capsule. When I went to zero I ended up in the emergency room with severe dehydration from the vomiting and diareah caused by the withdrawls and I was unable to care for myself or my daughter for about two weeks, I thought my body was giving up it's will to live. I have quit dilaudid cold turkey with minimal discomfort so it's not like I can't handle discomfort but quitting geodon was terrible and from now on I will be doing more research on each medication I put in my body."


"After trying just therapy for panic disorder, major depressive, and general anxiety I finally gave in and starting taking Zoloft. THANK GOD! I haven't had a single panic attack in 5 years when at one point I was having them up to ten times a day! I have had zero side effects. I also took it through pregnancy. I'm 28 and I'm fine with taking Zoloft forever, living without anxiety is just amazing!"


"I tried this for a UTI, got sharp pains behind my ribs that come and go all the time. Stopped taking it after two or three days and my UTI came right back. Now on bactrim and have the WORST head aches all day long."


"I was prescribed this medication by my Dr for insomnia and I have to say it works great! Works fast, get a great nights sleep with no hang over effects. Wake up refreshed and ready to go the next day."


"I have been on Apri for 4 months, I'm 20 years old. This is my 5th overall birth control but the best yet. I have had some over emotional moments or as I call them "birth control" cries but nothing terrible. My appetite isn't out of control, on my period though is another story. On this particular pill my period in much longer, around 8-10 days. Sex drive is pretty normal, and weight gain has not been out of control, as long as I watch my diet and get my steps in every day I stay in the 120-130 range."


"Abilify works wonders for my OCD, Bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders, but what's not listed is how much it helps with my eating disorder, which is Purge-Type Anorexia Nervosa, and body dysmorphia. With such low side effects, and such a wide range of disorders treatable with this medication, I consider Abilify a miracle pill for people with mental health problems of many kinds. Several of my friends, including my boyfriend, are also currently prescribed Abilify for a wide range of disorders and we all love it."


"I've been on Meloxicam for a month now and my pain has yet to ease up. My doctor also put me on Tramadol to help with the pain, but that doesn't help either."


"I started Gianvi about a year ago and for the first three months my breast were so tender, they hurt really badly. That said, my skin cleared up and I had no weight gain. I did have some nausea but that cleared up too. Everything was fine until 4 months later when cellulite popped up everywhere. I'm 5'6 and weigh 120 pounds with no family history cellulite and it was even on my ribs where there is no fat. I did not gain weight either. I talked to my doctor and switched to Yaz. Cellulite gone. Be warned!"


"I am 24 years old and have a daughter who is almost 2. I got the Mirena put in when my daughter was 10 weeks old.  Since I got it put in I have had nothing but problems.  I have been having a lot of problems with my back, my mood swings and depression has taken a turn for the worst.  I have gained over 50lbs because since I got it put in I have done nothing but try to lose weight and nothing works and the change in my eating habits have changed since.  I some what lost my sex drive.  When it comes to that time of the month I get really bad cramps and bloating but no spotting. I haven't had a period in almost 8 months and it has been almost 2 years since I got it. I want it removed really bad."


"Everything else failed or the side effects were terrible for me.  The Cialis 5mg daily has kept my prostate from enlarging and, per my doctor, reduced the size.  No side effects from Cialis 5mg for me, and the benefits are great."


"My doctor prescribed this for my

Menopausal mood swings and headaches.  It worked for a while and then I started having profuse sweating, not that I needed any help in that department due to my hot flashes!  I would be soaked at work and if I just did the smallest chore at home.  I weaned off and am now trying Effexor."


"I just started  37.5mg last Sunday. I am down 12 pounds. I eat two eggs with half of a turkey sausage for breakfast. For lunch, I eat salads and dinner just something light and healthy. I have only been able to exercise like once or twice this week. The results have been great! Excited for the next few weeks. Start wt 203 and current wt 191 and I am 5'6."


"It worked very well for asthma symptoms. Greatly reduced lung inflammation.  It takes quite a few weeks to reach max effectiveness.  But gave me joint aches, muscle aches and all over malaise. This is listed as an uncommon side effect so it may not affect most."


"I am a 28 y/o male, I used all drugs from about 12 but opiates and then IV heroin for about 10 years straight. I went through at least 7-8 rehabs and detoxes and endless county jails. In all those years I never had been able to stay clean more than a month on purpose. I've been clean now 1 year 8 months and a day. Vivitrol saved my life without a doubt. I was on it for 13 months with intensive out patient treatment and as many NA meeting as I could get to in a week. I had some issues sleeping with the first shot but after that the side effects were a headache here and there. Freedom from active addiction is worth any cost. Give it a try if I could do it I promise anyone can."


"I have experienced depression and anxiety for the last five years and was prescribed Luvox. However I was still getting a lot of mood swings, was very low and anxious - struggling to hold down my job due to sleep deprivation.  After three months on this medicine I only wish I had moved over sooner.  I have never felt the urge to write a review like this before but felt the desire due to the significant change it has brought to my life and that for my wife and kids.  No weight gain for me although I did have headaches for a few days but they passed within a week.  Highly recommended."


"It worked very well for me six years ago.  I had depression, little sleep and anxiety.   I was off within a year but panic attacks have struck in recent weeks so I am hoping for a similar experience.  A recent post was hoping for a two week improvement which is not how this drug or any ssri I know of works.  It did work fairly quickly as I recall.  I felt much better in 2-4 weeks and was able to make necessary life work changes within months.  Calling it a lifesaver sounds about right to me."


"I was on this medicine for three months as my first time on birth control and ended up suffering from severe depression, making school and work very difficult.  I returned almost completely to myself when I got off the medication and have no more negative thoughts. I didn't get pregnant though, so that's a plus."


"I had my Mirena inserted last week. An hour before the procedure, I took 800 mg of Ibuprofen and experienced just a little pressure during the insertion. I have had two kids though, so that may have helped as well. I bled a little the first day and had mild cramping. Since then, I've had some spotting, but no other side effects. My partner says he can't feel it, which I know is a concern for those considering it. I typically suffer from hormonal cystic acne, so I will be curious to see if I see any improvement with my skin while on Mirena. I'm very happy so far with it!"


"I had a good start in life. A single mom, an older brother, a State job, a girl, a quiet house in my hometown. I almost lost it all due to alcohol. I could write a book of how to use alcohol to flirt with prison, the grim reaper and insanity. I started drinking when I was 16 and I am 40 now. I never really stopped drinking that entire time. I then started taking Prozac 30 mg a day. I am now Alcohol free for a year and have no desire to drink at all. It helped me amazingly but I was also finally ready to quit drinking. "


"I've been on phentermine since Sep 2, 09. I was 291lbs. today, still taking it, I'm 248lbs.That's a loss of 43lbs & there are no words. For about 6 weeks I didn't take the drug because of certain reasons. Coupled with exercise, running 1.5 miles 3-4 times & doing Zumba 4-5 times a week & watching what I eat. I see the results & I'm very proud. I've found that phentermine is not meant as a simple, quick fix, but is to help change your body AND mind so that you can maintain because a change of mind has taken place once you are off. I suggest exercising when you start taking it because the weight will come off even if you do nothing, and that can be deceiving in that you won't think you have to work as hard and you'll gain it back plus some when you stop."


"Lamictal is a great medication for the depressive side of my bipolar 1 disorder, but try as I may, it is not a good mono-therapy, meaning I can't take it alone.  I need another mood stabilizing medication with it or it causes anxiety and irritability to worsen.  I'm giving it 7 of 10 stars because it doesn't work for bipolar 1 as a mono-therapy and has effected my memory and ability to recall words and to read quickly.  Side effects for me are reading difficulty, memory issues, and break through anxiety and irritability."


"So glad I looked on here. It's been 3 months and I have also lost a ton of hair, no acne but really depressed and high anxiety! I did just have a baby but I was doing great up until I got the birth control. I feel like a hot mess and I need to be put in a padded room. I was losing weight before Mirena and now I'm gaining (not happy about this). I feel tired and sad. I'm calling my doctor as soon as."


"I don't notice any side effects compared to some of the other anti-seizure medicines."


"Have been taking Jalyn for 3 months.  Did experience better urine flow and less trips to the bathroom at night.  Side affects are:  constipation, dry ejaculation (no semen), decreased libido, dizziness and hip pain.  Might consider switching medication depending if side effects worsen."


"I was on Percocet 10 mg 3 times a day and my doctor switched me to Nucynta 75 mg 3 times a day. The pain is much worse and I have been begging my doctor to switch me back or to something else. The only response I got was "give it a month." I'm having surgery in a week for one of the 5 issues I have. Not sure what people like about this medicine I'm in tears and can't sleep.

Monetarily I have to pay 5 times more for this medicine that doesn't work."


"This medication landed me in the ER after a week. I was having so much back pain that I could not stand or walk. I was wheeled in. The pain was so severe they had to use Dilaudid to bring it down and send me home on it for several days. I have always had back pain so I was not sure at first that this was the cause. I am now. I figure I can not take "Statins" and currently take nothing. I can take Zetia if I have to. It felt like my back was bone on bone. All my disc felt out in my lower back and crushed. The most pain I had been in ever. Probably a good drug for some but not for me."
